BOILER ROOM Madhouse Recap: Missed Icebreakers & Recent Insanity August 7, 2026 RAW TRANSCRIPT Source: StreamYard/WebVTT transcript supplied for post-production. EDITORIAL METHOD This hybrid transcript is a readability pass between raw captions and a polished article transcript. Caption-line fragmentation has been recombined into paragraphs, caption markup removed, and timestamps reduced to periodic reference markers. Spoken wording, slang, repetition, false starts, and conversational texture are otherwise preserved rather than rewritten.

Ladies. Gentlemen. Friends. Foes. Lurkers. Regulars. GMO people. Organic people. Well room. Inbound. Five. Four. You. All right, let's bring that down. Let's bring that down so it does not interfere. Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Boiler Room. It's been a minute and we had a little bit of a break in the normal schedule. Part of that was because I disappeared into the mountains of Montana. for Fire in the Mountains, which for anybody who hasn't heard me talking about this incessantly, is a heavy music festival held way out at Red Eagle Campground on Blackfeet Nation land. And when I say out there, I mean out there. [00:01:31] No cell service, no internet, no doom scrolling. just mountains weather music fire food and a whole bunch of beautiful people temporarily remembering what it's like to exist in the physical world It was absolutely incredible. There was Blackfeet Nation opening ceremony, an intertribal gathering, if you will, between metalheads, Blackfeet Nation, and other tribes, I believe, were there too. We had these awesome meals. Can't even tell you how awesome it was. They had big bison legs smoking on smokers, all kind of crazy stuff. um made a lot of new friends so shouts out to everybody i met out there uh at fire in the mountains some absolutely phenomenal performances uh like agaloc playing ashes against the grain all the way through uh amigo the devil big shout out awesome awesome performances abbott enslaved a whole lot more i could uh do an entire show on it uh maybe i will if some of you ask me to uh but it was one of those trips For me, where you go somewhere expecting to see a bunch of bands and then I come home and realize the music was only a percentage of the experience. [00:03:06] Sacred place, sacred experience. Big thanks to the Blackfeet Nation for hosting that. And big thanks to Neurosis for the amazing comeback show. Wow. If you don't know Neurosis, check it out. So I came back to Texas. I've re-entered the Matrix. See, it works again. There it is. It works again. My notifications are still largely suppressed. I turned off all of the inbound doom sludge so that I could only hear the metal sludge. But yeah, I re-entered the Matrix. And rather than immediately firing Boiler Room back up, Ruckus and I spent a good chunk of the past week underneath the hood of the Alternate Current Radio website. [00:03:51] We've been doing some long overdue upgrading and cleanup on the website. We've been getting some infrastructure sorted out and generally trying to make the machine run a little better. But apparently while we were doing all of this, civilization continued without adult supervision because I've been looking at the icebreaker suggestion room in the discord and, uh, You people may have been busy, but we've got mutant raccoons. We've got nuclear monster sharks. We've got cockroaches wearing scuba gear. We've got fried chicken Oreos, the Mexican Batman. We've got a robot apparently so devastated by the economy that it's begging for change on the sidewalk. [00:04:43] We've got the answer to the question, what does Viagra have to do with the World Cup? we've got a person with thirty-eight parasites in the brain, and somehow, somehow this is just the icebreaker section. So tonight we're going to clear the board here. No overly complicated agenda. No attempt to impose order where apparently none exists. uh so we're just gonna crack open the madhouse we're gonna go through all the insanity we missed while the boiler room was away and see where the conversation takes us and eventually we'll get into maybe some of the decidedly less funny insanity that's been piling up in the actual news ruckus is here spore is here mark anderson is here pharaoh is here the boiler room is back let's see what the hell happened while we were gone let me bring psychosis on to the stage we've got one and only psychosis how's it going mark what you up to well i have many aliases for all you know mark anderson's not even my real name of course i could be psychosis or maybe even just psychotic but maybe we all get that way a little bit but i'm doing fine glad you had that non-grid non-connected experience in montana that sounds fantastic oh man it was so good don't even get me started unless you really want to get me started i'm still kind of high on the good vibes that i experienced there uh even met one of our long time viewers there big shout out to trevor s uh walked up to me while i was standing outside the vip booth and goes hesher and it took my brain a second to go what what wait what where am i who's this oh it's trevor so it was really awesome seeing trevor there long long time listener like even before the boiler room he was following a lot of us with his dad so uh yeah that was pretty cool to to see someone out there who's a social reject club member and an alumni if you will Well, yeah, great. [00:06:49] Yeah. I'm sure you'll sprinkle in more about that experience. I just got done traveling from Michigan to Texas through several States, some observations to make a little bit of news to report. Um, but, um, lots going on. Yeah, definitely. Definitely, man. Well, I'm glad you made it tonight. I'm glad you made it back to Texas. Welcome back to your other home right here in Texas. Yeah, my adopted home. Yeah. I'm right back now. Yeah. yep there you go working on that twang you'll get it one of these days uh we we can we can't all be like uh like our friend ron avery can we not authentically now ron ron's the real mccoy in that regard yeah yeah he absolutely is all right let's uh let's bring mystical pharaoh aboard the uh starship boiler room tonight mystical pharaoh what's up man welcome back to the boiler room it's great to see it's been like three weeks or something Yeah, it feels like it. [00:07:43] How have you been, man? I've been great. I've been great. Just getting a lot done and trying to reset myself a little bit here. And I think it's working. That's good, dude. I've been actually doing the same. Excellent. Just connected out of this social media crap. And honestly, even from news, since everything around us is just garbage right now. Oh, dude, so much propaganda. Just focusing on what's real. So much propaganda and crap, man. I can't even believe it. When I turned my phone back on like a week later, I was like, oh, boy, look, nothing's changed except maybe the acceleration of stupidity. that's right all right well so pharaoh is it safe to say from now on when we bring you a news clip or a news bite or a headline it's going to be a hot take from you because you have disconnected from the matrix as much as possible pretty much that's what i'm trying to do so yeah all right just so we all have it in context we're all cool with that i think is everybody in the chat cool with that because you don't really have a choice so you got to be all right let's uh let's get the ruckus among us uh adam clark oh my gosh whoa i think paging nurse ratchet paging nurse ratchet one of your patients is on the loose the one that calls himself ruckus have you seen him yeah he disappears and reappears often yo how's it going everybody thanks for having me nice to see all you fine folks uh pharaoh i have no idea what's going on there in your wing of the ward but it looks like certainly more fun than mine and hesher's Congratulations. [00:09:25] You get the conjugal visits, I see, as usual. An incessant line of technocrat clowns, I guess. Psychotic clowns in the ward. Well, you know, I'm just, you know, that's where America's headed. Anyways, thanks for having me. Exciting news here on the local front. We were blessed by a few high-profile guests, visitors, so that was fun. Got to meet some new people. That was fun. So it's been a good time here. And then, of course, busy behind the scenes because the website was defunct for a little while. We got it all fixed up for you folks, and it's working pretty cherry. And then the next phase is going to be improving some of the appearance on the mobile experience for you all. [00:10:11] So stay tuned for that. I'm looking forward to that personally. And then I'm looking forward to this discussion that we're going to have tonight because I've been staying in the news, unlike Hesher and Mystical Pharaoh. So it's going to be a nice break for me. I made a few announcements. high profile appearances. I was on Jimmy Dore show. Then I was on another podcast, What is Truth podcast. I've been doing the weaponized news stuff. And then, you know, when I'm not doing that, I'm just immersed in that crap. My YouTube feed is still going twenty four seven, even when I sleep sometimes. So let's do it. Except for the shark part. [00:10:47] Let me know about the shark part. If there's an image, give me a fair warning, Hesher. Thanks. All right. All right. Let's see here. Real quick before we bring Spore in. Shout out to Tech Noir. What's up, man? Good to see you. It says America is ran by an insane clown world posse. That's right. creative accidents what's up Hesher mentioned the good cause of the get-together okay yeah briefly the one of the main purposes of fire in the mountains is to help reduce suicide among the Blackfeet nation and just Native American tribes in general because they have an insanely high suicide rate uh so it was a dry festival no alcohol there and half the proceeds go to the blackfeet nation to the firekeeper alliance uh it it is it is a solid solid cause uh plus it um there are workshops that are done throughout the days there too so things like healing through heavy music, the catharsis of heavy music, that kind of thing, creativity, musicianship, artistic expression. [00:12:09] They even had an AM yoga. So for those that were up early and ready to do the whole day uh eight a.m to just about midnight all all nights and there's no corporate sponsors either one other thing i like to mention no big corporate sponsors nothing like that all the food vendors were local blackfeet nation uh local montanans and uh it was just a really really cool place to see music so thanks for asking So that was like metal or what kind of music? Last year, it was a mix of straight up heavy metal, death metal, black metal, grindcore. But then there was also this bands like Wardruna were there. And this year they had sort of a lot of like like darkened southern gothic americana vibes mixed in with the metal so like fans like sixteen horsepower were there um sub rosa from from salt lake city utah was there and uh there's uh igor caballero was there he's the drummer of sepultura was the drummer of sepultura back in the day did like a percussion sort of performance with an electric music guy that was unfortunately I missed, but I heard was really good. [00:13:29] So it was kind of a lot of different sounds and they mix it up each year so that it's got a little bit of tradition in it as well as just raw metal. Nice. I just think it's really interesting, a bunch of metalheads doing yoga at eight a.m. I cannot envision that. Dude, I said to myself, I'm going to bring Spor on in a second here. I said to myself so many times, though, wow, never seen this at a metal show before. That's right. I said that to myself. I'm like, where are you? yeah yeah workshops on healing no beer no wine nothing like that i mean never you won't find this anywhere else let's welcome the lovely spore to the stage the one and only keeper of all things whiskey tango foxtrot on the interwebs our curator of the icebreaker suggestion room lovely spore welcome back to the boiler room how are you i'm great happy to be here thank you Yeah, it's great to have you back, because tonight we're going to do some icebreaking. [00:14:34] We're going to clear the Icebreaker channel. I scrolled it up, hopefully far enough for it to be considered cleared. I think anything I missed might have gotten a little stale by now, but hey... it should be fun. So, um, before we break ice, those four, um, ruckus mentioned quickly that we had some, uh, visitors in town. When I got back from Montana, uh, we had Jay Dyer and Jamie Hanchaw Dyer in town. And, uh, we met Chase Haggard and his wife. I hope we're allowed to say their names on air. I didn't ask him if we could, but, uh, anyways, uh, um and then we had uh brian snowdy the amazing artist and human being come and visit us uh all back to back to back uh right after i got back so yeah that was awesome that was a really good time uh i i got to hang out with all those people and sport and ruckus and we had a great time any any standout parts from that uh for you sport that you want to throw out there Oh, well, we got to see Jamie Hanshaw do a stand up comedy bit at our local place here called Neighbors. [00:15:45] And that was really fun and funny. And we got a great job. Yeah. And we got to see Ruckus do a, I guess, spoken word that kind of upset people. He ended the night with some dark spoken word. Yeah. What did that guy say to me? Like right when Reckless is done? Oh, that scared the shit out of me. Yeah, he came up to me and said, thanks a lot for scaring the shit out of me. So that was fun. Yeah, that was a great time. It was just really awesome. I mean, I hung out with Brian, I call him Brian Stoddy, but before, but it was Reckless and Hesher's first time meeting him. That was really great. Yeah, that was awesome. He brought us a couple gifts. [00:16:34] And man, that was just really cool. Really cool of him and really fun to hang out. All right, well, let's let's break some ice here. What do you guys say? Or what do you got for us? Well, we're going to start off one that Brian Snotty put in our icebreaker suggestions. Mutant raccoon roaming the streets of Seattle strikes fear in the hearts of unsuspecting residents. And I'm just going to read a little bit of this. A bizarre creature roaming the streets of Seattle has left residents wondering whether they are looking at a mutant, a cryptid, or something else entirely. The small gray animal with its oddly rounded body, unusually long legs, and strangely shortened frame was recently spotted wandering through Ballard. [00:17:22] What am I looking at? um this was my first time seeing jimothy uh yeah and there he is on the screen right here let me back this up you can hear this audio coming through oh okay well it shouldn't be and it's broken then because i can't hear it i knew that caught you by surprise okay yeah me off there yeah i didn't mean to cut you off i thought i muted that tab and it's not coming through mine so stream yard's messing with me again i'm gonna kill that share go ahead a couple more words uh while some locals joked about it um about looked while some locals joked it looked like a creature from another world wildlife experts believe the animal is actually a raccoon named jimothy With an exceptionally rare condition that dramatically alters the shape of his body. [00:18:11] And I'm guessing people already got to see that. Yeah, probably. It was busy cutting you off while they were looking at it. But I'll go ahead and show it again here. Yeah, so here's Jimothy caught on camera. What am I looking at? This was my first time seeing Jimothy and I initially thought that he was a cat and just got my phone out because I love cats and then when he emerged from the car I realized he definitely wasn't a cat. Almost looks to me like a monkey or a lemur. I think it's short spine syndrome because there's a few famous dogs on the internet. One of them is Tilly, who is shaped exactly like Jimothy. [00:18:58] I'm really happy that it brings some kind of joy to people's lives. I think he's just sort of round and a silly little guy. And people just sort of need something. Well, there you go. Meet Jimothy. My first guess would have been Chupacabra. yeah i could see that definitely mark you ever seen a jimothy like that before raccoon tweaked out like that uh no naturally the you want to make sure it's not ai i assume it's not just for the sake of discussion i'll assume it's not something generated by ai I mean, um, it could be a raccoon with a rare condition. It could be, it's maybe distantly possible that somebody is doing some sort of genetic experiments and it got away from the lab. [00:19:45] Um, uh, that's maybe a bit of a stretch. I'm just sort of doing a thought experiment, but, um, it moved very well. I mean, if it, a lot of times, if something has a birth defect, it will hamper or, uh, limit its movement. And, uh, it seemed to move really naturally and quickly despite being, um, uh, despite appearing like it had a defect or some sort of, uh, you know, genetic, uh, um, James Onley- mistake or whatever you want to call it a birth defect, you know, usually if you're born with a birth defect, whether you're human or whatever. James Onley- You, you have trouble moving it it it it impairs your ability to move so it move very well, even though it might be a very rare condition and something completely out of line with how it normally would be those are just some initial observations. [00:20:41] Yeah, it's pretty interesting footage there. What do you think, Pharaoh? Any thoughts on Jimothy, the potentially short spine syndrome raccoon? Shoot the freak. It's headed right for us. Shoot it. Shoot the freak. I don't know. It reminded me. It was like the circus where they were showing all those freaks back in the days. Uh-huh, the freak shows? The traveling freak shows? You should go to the freak show circus. Who knows? Maybe they had a Jimothy at the old freak show. Well, I can tell you raccoons are making a comeback, man. They are like turning into pets now. They are already showing signs of domestications. [00:21:27] So maybe he's trying to earn a spot on the internet and be famous like a cat. Who knows? So Jimothy might be the new LOL cat. What do you say, Raccoon? He might be. Well, this is very interesting because just before the whole Trump thing, there was a raccoon thing. Remember? Remind us for those that don't. There was a pet raccoon. Oh, that got shot? The state stepped in and killed it. Wasn't there a squirrel, too? Or was it the squirrel? No, it was a squirrel. Oh, okay, so it wasn't even a raccoon. All right, well, anyways, that gets close enough. It starts with a squirrel that they killed, and now it ends with this mutant thing. [00:22:11] Jimothy is like an absolute... I love Jimothy. Who's not on the side of Jimothy? I mean, everybody loves Jimothy. It's a viral meme sensation. Everybody knows it by name now, and that's very fascinating to me. The White House even posted their garbage, crappy propaganda where they're like, Jimmy was spotted on the way to Washington, D.C., wearing, of course, a hat that says Trump was right about everything. Silly. But yeah, it's certainly captured the imagination of people and kept them quite distracted. And I'm sure there's plenty of other examples where there's odd animals and strange behaviors. In fact, I know from some research I did a few years ago, there's thousands of instances where people are taking pictures and photos of fascinating, interesting things, and yet... [00:22:58] Strangely enough, there's always just one or occasionally there's one that just gets the magic. It just goes effing viral. And I wonder sometimes, again, based off of some research I did, just how organic are these things? So I think the fact that this is such a huge deal might be a reason. Maybe it's just distraction. Maybe it's symbolism. Who the heck knows? I'm sure it's like some thirty-third degree Freemason thing. Just kidding. who the hell knows but uh jimothy's cool by me um i would i would adopt a jimothy i don't know about you folks yeah i would i would want to adopt a jimothy too my only concern is that ice would bust down my door and cap him for having been domesticated you know maybe he's only safe if he's out and about in the streets or something like that maybe he's hamas as long as you have his paper man but he does look mexican i can tell you that yeah is he here legally We're not exactly sure about Jimothy's citizenship status. [00:24:04] It's funny, though, Mystical Pharaoh, that you mentioned the freak show, because if you look at what's going on right now, and I guess, you know, Barnum and Bailey's sort of not quite the freak show, but it is the circus, right? Check this out. Meet the four-legged robot stealing the show at Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey. Wow, how about that? So they have brought a robot to Ringling Brothers. There we go, right there. Yeah, isn't that neat? They could have hired Jimothy. I'm outraged. This is unfair. It is. What is that event? That's at the Ringling Brothers Circus, dude. That doesn't make me want to go. Look, here's a photo of the show with the robot dog at the circus. [00:25:02] How stupid. Who wants to go see that? I want to see lion tamers. I like the old-fashioned way. yeah yeah what happened to you know those guys getting eaten by lions and stuff can you go back to the picture yeah hold on this is it's it's so big there's there's his train car so they have a whole train car for his uh ringling part and then let me go back to the picture of the you want the the it's not even a trainer is it what do you call this guy what is this guy's title performer letter g and it ends with the letter y yeah i just love the look on his face how he's like so into him um yeah yeah this this robo dork here he's looking at that dog a little too lovingly in my opinion exactly right i can see it yeah um creative accident says they're putting these robots on tv to get kids used to robots i can't argue with that we're certainly getting a lot of uh robotic fatigue lately aren't we all right Well, there you go. [00:26:20] We won't linger too long on any of these because we got a few of them. So thank you, Brian Snowdy, for sending in Mutant Raccoon roaming the streets of Seattle, striking fear in the hearts of unsuspecting residents. The next one we have, I believe this is a ruckus submission right here. And... I don't even know what to say about this other than share this tab instead and we'll just give it a shot. Rescue robot of tomorrow may be a cockroach in a scuba suit. I don't know if I need to even read any further than that. Ruckus, have you read this already? What's the deal here? I saw a YouTuber who does very short-form content discuss it, and I was like, I've got to find this article. [00:27:10] This is crazy. So if you're going to cover it, I was hoping you'd read a little bit into it because I forgot. It's just as silly as you think it is. All right, I got you. What are we doing here? Well, first off, here's the object in question. Okay. For any of you listening only, it's a cockroach in some sort of suit with a microchip and a whole bunch of tubes and wires attached to himself. But yeah, it says a cockroach in a tiny scuba suit sounds like something you would run from. Not something you would send into a disaster zone, yet scientists say this strange little setup could one day help rescue teams search places people and larger robots cannot safely reach. [00:27:57] Researchers from NTU Singapore and Waseda University have developed a flexible diving suit for cyborg cockroaches. That's right, I said cyborg cockroaches. The suit lets the insects survive and move underwater as well as through low oxygen spaces for up to three hours. Cool. Maybe we can send them to outer space. The study was published in Nature Communications. The goal is to expand how cyborg insects could help after floods, earthquakes or other disasters where rubble drains and tight spaces can block access. Wow. My goodness. Well, There you go. I thought nanotech was a thing. I thought we were like in a race for nanotech. [00:28:49] Can they not make little tiny drones the same size and not have to turn insects into cyborgs? I mean, I don't know. I'm just asking for a friend. Well, that's an excellent question. The whole nanotechnology thing was kind of a very so-called promising thing in recent years. And you would think that would be pretty advanced by now. Before they were talking about AI all the time, nanotech was the hot topic, remember? I mean, they set up a whole wing of our military and our government in the twenty eighteen NDA to compete with China with nanotech. So, I mean, now we're doing I suppose this actually hold on a second. It's not fake news, right? [00:29:36] I mean, it's no, no, it's published in Nature Communications. So it must be real. Right. But it is researchers from Singapore. And I don't know where was Sata University. I'm guessing it's not in the United States. So. Well, if it's not fake news, then it shows you the state of science today. On one level, it sounds like scientists who want research money and grant research money really badly, and they'll do anything to get it. There's always that. Yeah, it sounds like perverse incentives at the very least. It says here, a cyborg cockroach is... a living insect fitted with tiny electrodes that and this is on fox news by the way not that that makes anything they say real but i mean just for those source hounds out there but anyway it's fitted with tiny electrodes that can guide its movement unlike a small artificial robot it uses its own muscles to walk that means it needs far less less battery power than a robot that depends on motors however cockroaches still need air they breathe through small openings called sphericals once submerged they cannot pull oxygen from water this is where the cyborg cockroach diving suit comes in the suit has an oxygen generation tank it must be tiny a flexible waterproof shell and four silicone oxygen tubes together those parts keep water out while sending oxygen directly to the cockroaches breathing openings all right wow I'm still not clear on how they control it, how it gets a mission, how it reports back. [00:31:22] Is there a tiny pinhole camera on him? How do they get him from point A to point B? How does it know where to go? Yeah. How do they get the feedback? Is he Bluetooth enabled? I mean, I have so many questions about this. I don't have any stories. Well, they counterfeited him with a Musk chip. Well, there's that. But they've been doing this for years now. They've been studying ways to... They say they can control... uh cockroaches in particular but other insects too with these little electrical signals so that yeah they do they implant something or strap it to his back i don't know how what they did but they've been doing this for a while now i remember reading stories about this a while so i was like this for i presume that's kind of what they're doing so yeah they're they're basically kind of remote controlling the cockroaches probably or all right there's also this new swarm drone algorithm, all you throw in AI. [00:32:16] Speaking of AI, I immediately thought, I was like, oh my gosh, who's half brain baked idea was that, oh wait, did somebody, did AI come up with this idea? They're like, what's some innovative way to send help to people who need it? Like cockroaches, cockroaches live forever, says ChatGPT or Grok or something. You never know, right? That's an interesting point there. What is it that the cockroach And I think remote control is the most logical way that it would get from point A to point B. What is it that the cockroach mini drone organic with a little bit of electrodes attached, what is it that it's supposed to do mission-wise? [00:32:57] It would be used for what? Search and rescue. Reconnaissance, which is code word for surveillance. Oh, sorry. So recon cockroaches then. They say the goal is to expand how cyborg insects could help after floods, earthquakes, or disasters where rubble drains and tight spaces block access. Huh. But I have a hard time believing if they can control it, send and receive data from it, that that's all they would use it for. I'd be more interested in understanding how weather works better and how human interventions are happening frequently maybe not frequently but how how and in what way and why they're happening in terms of weather why do we have excessive rain in some areas and outright droughts in other areas what's going on we've talked before about how cloud seeding technology is very real very off the shelf and The so-called wildfires that are going on now, usually they know the season and approximately when and how they'll erupt and under what conditions. [00:34:12] So why don't they intervene there with technology that's been around about a hundred years? In other words, weather outcomes ought to be proactively dealt with, not reactively dealt with when possible. And so they resort to sending in cockroaches after the torrential monsoons have already happened. The whole thing sounds backwards to me in terms of logic, in terms of dealing with certain disasters. Now, earthquakes, of course, is a different matter. Dave Kuntz, Although i'd like to know more about earthquakes I don't know much about them their origin whatnot what's going on with that but. Dave Kuntz, yeah there's a lot, you could you could pick apart and a lot, you could extrapolate from that. [00:35:03] I think that they should send us a box of these and whatever they used to control them and let us try them out, you know. box yeah cockroaches yeah i'd like like ten of ten scuba cockroaches please uh well like they said in that movie life is like a box of cockroaches you never know what you're gonna get like them spicy or extra crunchy can i get them both i want mine in a scuba suit damn it and only nineteen hundred dollars each Oh, I was going to ask, is this a subscription as a service kind of deal here? Right. Yeah. Can we get a year's subscription full access to Pink Vegas? Or do you own the cockroaches right out of the gate? Yeah. [00:35:49] Pink Vegas says, does the roach need a scuba certification? I'm going to go out on a limb there, Pink Vegas, and say no, but you and I do if we want to do that. Probably needs a background check at least, right? I would hope. At the very least, yeah. I mean, it could be... At this point, when we see a cybernetic cockroach, we have to do our American duty and ask ourselves, is this a Chinese cyborg cockroach? Yeah, but it's a commie thing. I knew it. It might be a commie roach that would live forever. We can't let China beat us to the cockroach race. That's right. That's right. I mean, China has cockroach farms, if you want to talk about it. [00:36:39] Well, clearly they need lots of scuba divers, so they better farm these things. We can't send people into the water. We got to send the roaches. Yeah. Yeah. what are what what are the other military applications here can they strap little like dynamites and thermo what's that what was that thermite thermite yeah thermite bearing scuba cockroaches to fight iran or something so they would be like miniature navy seals yeah do they have to go to buds now i would watch that movie Yeah, yeah. Could they recreate like a Nord Stream two attack or something like that? Yes. I mean, just leave them to us. We'll come up with all kinds of options. [00:37:26] Send us a box, please. Preferably the ones that won't duplicate. We don't want gremlin situation with our cyborg cockroaches. And not in a candy box. I don't want to just say Fannie Mae or something. No, and please not in a shot glass. That'll bring back some bad memories we don't want to talk about. Okay. Moving on swiftly. This is one I haven't. Go ahead. I just posted a link of the a billion Chinese roach farm. Oh, my gosh. I don't know if I want to. When you talk about just beating the Chinese, you've already been farming roaches. Oh, golly. What am I about to see here? The Chinese cockroach farm houses a billion cockroaches kept contained by a moat filled with hungry fish. [00:38:21] They know how to write a headline over here at ABC News sometimes. Wow. How old is this article? Sounds like alligator Alcatraz. Yeah, really? Okay. This is a, this is a, this is a, this is a, this is a, this is a, this is a, this is a, this is a, this is a, this is a, this is a, this is a, this is a, Do they say why they want to make so many of them? Usually people try to get rid of these. Oh, they make food out of them. That's right. Food, yeah. It's a protein source. Of course. Eats the bugs. Eats the bugs. Yes. Sorry to tell anybody that didn't know already, but emulsifier, is that the right word? An emulsifier in food sometimes is these. [00:39:12] That's why they farm them. Strawberry Frappuccino. Did I just say that out loud? Here in South Texas, there's the occasional restaurant profiled on a local news show. More than once, they've said, come on out to the restaurant, try our new bugs. Oh, golly. No, thanks. Yeah, it's like, I don't think they think very clearly before they go on TV and talk about that. They think that novelty alone will sell it. Sorry. No, no, no, no. Ain't going to happen. Yeah, no thanks. All right. Let's move on to this one. Let's see. Is this another? This is a this is a ruckus one right here. Thanks, ruckus. You may be noticing out there if you're watching tonight that we've got a lot of internal ACR submissions here. [00:40:06] So we want your WTF links from the interwebs, too. And if you want to drop them to us, join our discord. We have a discord. There's an invite code on the website at AlternateCurrentRadio.com. It's up in the main menu in the upper right, little hamburger liney looking thing. So yeah, join our Discord and you can drop us suggestions. We did get a lot of suggestions from the Social Rejects Club, but there are a number of internals also. But this one... Too much happiness sent a woman to the emergency room in an incredibly rare case. Too much happiness. The phrase I could die of happiness is not meant to be taken literally, but as it turns out, you actually can, though it's exceedingly rare. [00:40:59] A new case study published in Oxford Medical Case Reports tells the unusual story of a doctors thought she was having a heart attack for three days after the festivities she suffered chest pains and shortness of breath first when the woman sought medical advice for her chest pain which she had experienced a few months prior as well she was urgently referred to the emergency department but her test came back with confusing results there appeared to be a reduced blood flow to her heart And this is typically caused by a blood clot, but no such clot could be found. Instead, her left ventricle showed a strange ballooning, which was weakening the heart and impairing its ability to pump blood efficiently through her body. [00:41:48] Strange as it might sound, that is a sign of sudden and overwhelming joy. Okay. I would wonder how they can objectively, if they can objectively measure joy. yeah okay here's a gauge here's the baseline right anything this side of the baseline is excessive happiness and once you get over here it's too much happiness um that seems very subjective to me um you know uh Some psychologists or psychiatrists will say if someone acts excessively happy, they're actually in denial. And it's sort of a trumped up or or fake happiness to cover up for, you know, something sad. You know, the old the old expression, laugh, clown, laugh. [00:42:44] If somebody seems too giddy and happy, they're not actually happy is is the psychiatric theory. So, yeah, that seems like a real stretch to be able to say, not only did this woman go to the hospital, but she went there because she was too happy. I just don't see how they could reach that conclusion with any confidence. It does sound odd. They say it is a syndrome called... I can't even say this. Tacosubocardiomyopathy, TTS. Yeah, TTS. We'll just call it TTS. I mean, the psychiatrists use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, the DSM. And what that is is a bunch of codes that tells them what drugs to prescribe. And it gets bigger every year. [00:43:35] Yeah, so this could be DSM entry number whatever. And, you know, well... so and so is too happy so here's the drug here's the drug of choice i mean if if i hate to think about it's a very serious thing to think about chest pain and having to go to the hospital a lot of people have been through that you know we have friends that have been through that and lost people to that before so it's like it's it's very serious you know and it's like i would just have i've never heard of this before and i would have such a hard time if i went in and they were like yeah your ticker's not working right We think you're just too damn happy. [00:44:09] I'd be like, next, please take me to the next hospital over. I would like a second opinion because it's like they say it's it closely. It's this TTS closely mimics an acute myocardial infraction or a heart attack. So, yeah, I would want to go double, triple, quadruple check that there wasn't a clot before I was like, oh, I just got too happy. Cool. Let me mention one other thing while I'm thinking about it. I sometimes watch that show, Funny You Should Ask, with Byron Allen. And there was one of the questions put to the comedians, true or false, comedians buy insurance in case somebody laughs so hard that they become overwhelmed or get out of breath or something happens physically. [00:44:59] And the answer was true. I've laughed that hard. I've laughed so hard I thought I was going to hurt myself. That's definitely happened. Yeah, so I mean, you can be excessively in a state of humor, you know, like really laughing your ass off. But maybe that's qualitatively something different you know right and that seems to affect your your like your your lungs more than your heart yeah yeah you're not going to have a myocardial yeah probably not hopefully not pharaoh what do you think you're you're our most sciencey doctor around here you're the learned doctor of the boiler room what do you think about this I thought only too much love can kill you. [00:45:43] I didn't know that. But I mean, it is a real condition. It is a real condition. So how did they found the diagnosis? I assume they did some imaging for the heart because usually those people with that condition have actually deformity in the heart. So you should be able to tell from imaging. They checked for a clot, I guess, is all the articles say. Not a clot. Yeah, it's not a clot. Yeah, it shouldn't be a clot. It's actually the shape of the ventricle itself is different. Well, I guess it's something to consider, right? If you're having signs of or suspecting a heart attack but don't have any signs of clot anywhere in your ventricles or whatever, you may actually be suffering from TTS. [00:46:36] Who knows? Maybe someone out there will have that. yeah but again this is very rare i mean if you if you search it's pretty rare it says um in the article here it says to your point it says that's a very small percentage and it gets smaller yet for happy heart syndrome only around four percent of reported tts cases are triggered by positive emotions by negative like majority is by negative and stress Yeah, they call that one, that's the negative version. They call that broken heart syndrome. Yeah. All right. That's good news. See, so only, you know, if you're going to get this heart syndrome, there's a very small chance that it's because you're happy. [00:47:22] Look at the bright side, right? Married guys, I hope you're paying attention. Maybe you can somehow work this into your defense next time you're like your, I don't know, your partner. I'm just saying. You know, there's always arguments about whether or not somebody's happy. Like, that's for your safety, dear. We don't want to overdo it or something like that. Make for some good pickup lines, guys. What do you think? Ladies, what do you think? You're approaching the member of the opposite sex and you're like, you make them, you slip them like a napkin. You say, what's that? And it's like, oh, this is a nondisclosure agreement that says you won't sue me if I make you too happy and you have a heart attack, baby, or something. [00:48:01] I don't know. I give you TTS. I'm so good. I'll give you TTS. It's very interesting that this becomes like a news story. I don't know how viral it went. It did make it past my feed somehow. I mean, a lot of people, this is Science Alert is one of those. It's science-y, but it's more like here's your daily inbox. They need something to write because they write articles and that's what they do. That's their business, right? Yeah. I don't think – if this was the type of thing where they're like, there's an unknown outbreak of people getting too damn happy and they're dropping dead, I'd be concerned that they're trying to say that this is the cause for what we're all thinking. [00:48:36] But I don't think this is an instance like that. I think they did properly check for – if it was a clot because that – if it was the – The other thing that did it, then there would have been because of a clot, if I'm not mistaken, right? Yeah, pretty sure. But to Farrow's point, I'm not so sure, at least from the article, how further they looked into why it happened to this specific lady or they're just trying to, is this, and I don't know, is this condition only found in certain people or could this happen to anybody? That's the other question. No, no, it's only certain people was just heart deficiency, like, So it's like a genetic thing then is what I'm guessing? [00:49:14] Yeah, yeah. It's okay. Well, now that has already like deformed left ventricle. And that's what that does dip into some interesting things, all things considered, but I'm not so sure that's for this boiler room. Yeah. Definitely. Boy, to be that happy in the world we live in, that's quite an achievement. Yeah, please share. How did you get so happy you almost died? We'd all love to know. She was at her daughter's wedding, it said in the article. Oh, right. Okay. But it didn't happen to her until three days after the festivities, so... Maybe someone slipped her some mRNA juice or something like that. Oh, no, wait. [00:49:56] Back again to that same issue we're coming up to there. Okay. The delayed effect. Yeah. Just too much prolonged happiness, Mark. I mean, don't be happy for too long. Maybe there was some mushrooms in the stew, you know. There you go. Now we're talking. Well, Hesher, I'm glad you're okay. We're past the three-day mark of your return from an event where I'm sure you were full of joy and having a good time, right? Oh, man, I couldn't have been happier. So I'm feeling better than when I left. You're safe. Maybe enough time hasn't gone by yet. The surge of happiness. I'm still riding the surge. You never know, man. You never know. [00:50:37] You could be an invisible carrier. Oh, shoot. It's not contagious. Yeah, I've got contagious long happiness. Social distancing. Definitely. Put me in a padded room or something. Cool. Pass it on. All right. Yeah. All right. Well, we got more of these coming. You're watching the Boiler Room or listening to the Boiler Room, however you're hitting us. Our website's alternatecurrentradio.com. We got a support link up there. We got merch up there. We got all that stuff. It's in the descriptions down below if you're watching on YouTube, Rumble, X, all that good stuff. Mark, tell me a little bit about your trip before we hit the next odd headline. [00:51:17] Well, it was quite interesting in that I went through Jason Smith's congressional district inadvertently in Southeast Missouri. He's the head of the House Ways and Means Committee. And I dropped a note to the Democratic challenger, not as a journalist, just a friendly advice. And he answered me. And the person challenging Jason Smith for the eighth congressional district congressional seat said, representing Missouri, the Democratic challenger apparently is going to raise the fact that Jason Smith has been to Bilderberg the last two years based on my tip. So be listening in the news locally, regionally, nationally to see if the head of the House Ways and Means Committee, Mr. Smith, running for re-election, he's been in there since to see whether his Democratic opponent will make any hay out of Smith having attended Bilderberg. [00:52:19] And we'll see what kind of backbone and spine the Democratic opponent has. But he acknowledged my tip, and we'll see if he carries it forward. Very interesting. That would kind of, I mean, correct me if I'm off base here, Mark, but if just that factoid about him... could change the the tide wouldn't that be interesting wouldn't that say a lot about the general public's knowledge of bilderberg now i mean that that's not something i don't think people would have cared much about or known enough to care about you know a couple cycles ago Yeah, there was reelect Smith signs all over that part of Missouri that I drove through in the boot heel as it's known the southeast corner near Illinois near the Mississippi River. [00:53:12] I go through there a lot and I had forgotten that he, his district included that part of Missouri. So his Democratic challenger probably doesn't have much of a chance. But this could change the metrics a little bit, especially if the media would pick up on it, larger media like the Kansas City Star newspaper or the St. Louis Post-Dispatch or the Chicago Tribune or the Des Moines Register, a large paper in Iowa, for example. et cetera, et cetera. We'll see what happens, but it seems like the Democrat needed something to go on and this might just be the thing. But again, we have to see if he has the gumption to carry it forward and if he can get any media traction out of it. [00:54:01] Yeah. You got to wonder if any of his donors have attendees or something like that, or if it could end up, you know, biting them in the rear end. Yeah, one other quickie is I went through Grimes County, Texas, in the town Anderson, of all things, Anderson, Texas. And there was a poster up at a local pizza joint. Went and talked to the people there. And they want to build a data center that hasn't gotten anywhere yet. But I talked to some Texas A&M guys who were eating lunch there, and they do video for the sports department at Texas A&M. And I said, ah, A&M, that's George Herbert Walker Bush Country. Bush Country. [00:54:40] And they laughed and said, oh, yeah, if he's dead, it doesn't matter. It's still Bush Country. Yeah. And I think he's in more control now that he's dead. That's my opinion. Take that for what it is. But I said, beyond all these concerns about AI data centers, too much noise, environmental impact, water usage, electric usage, electrical usage, do we want to live in an AI world where we have this eventual centralized monolith, these databases that tell us what the truth is? And they were, one of the guys especially was like, I don't really want to live in that kind of world. But the students we're seeing at Texas A&M, he told me, are already showing signs that they're a bit brain addled by relying too much on AI and not really thinking for themselves and using it as a crutch. [00:55:35] And he felt like they were getting stupider. Yeah, I think a lot of people are seeing that. Plus, it's like one of those other deeper questions I ask people. The practical ones are the ones you mentioned, the water, the power, the noise, the why. I just, I think it would be foolish to assume that when we hear the term AI data center or anything data center, that that's all it's doing. You know, you can, AIs are doing everything now. So the one next to, you know, Tom Dick and Harry's house might be a Dell data center. It might be doing nothing but serving VR images to people wearing goggles. But the one next to Janie over there, that might be an AI data center. [00:56:27] Well, what does that mean? Who's AI? What is it doing? Is it one of the surveillance AIs? Can we subcategorize these things out in the use case? But you never see that. You only see them pitching the town, the deal. Of, oh, we're not going to use too much water. We're not going to use too much power. We're going to create a bunch of jobs. Right. And I'll mention one other thing. There was a Hawaii Five-O on the other day, the original from nineteen seventy four with Jack Lord as the main character. And they showed a data center in the early seventies. And it was, of course, these these rather tall, rectangular. [00:57:07] Machines that had the reel to reel looking things at the top. And that was the data center of its day. And it showed computer screens, that were of course cruder than now. The typing on the screen, the characters on the screen looked something like a electronic version of a dot matrix printer from yesteryear. Long story short, the guy that operated that data center learned to use the technology to tap into people's bank accounts, their voting records, their police record, if any, create a police rap sheet, even if someone didn't have one. And so would a data center, the one down the street from whatever person you mentioned, Hesher, okay, the one next to Billy's house isn't so bad, but the one next to Bobby's house just gave you a criminal record that you didn't have, and here come the cops. [00:58:11] In other words, could this be used in a pro, not just surveillance, but proactively affecting people's financial history, reputations? Would it be used as an outright spy and spook and intruder? And that's what was suggested in this Hawaii Five-O made over fifty years ago. oh man i'm thinking of several modern shows that play along a similar line too there was one show uh called utopia and uh it involved a school yard shoot them up bang bang incident and uh the whole world thought that one of the characters the young characters in the show had had done it because they had footage of it you know they had cctv footage of it all this stuff all this evidence and it turns out well uh he was among a group of people young people that were looking to disrupt certain activities of big pharma and that was technology that was weaponized against him so you know they've been telegraphing this concept for many many years and even more so now Exactly. [00:59:32] If they know you're an activist, then you would be targeted maybe with a trumped up criminal record, for example. Right. Right. Yeah. Let's see here. Pharaoh, any questions on that or comments on that? Well, Musk is solving it. He's sending data centers to space. Oh, there you go. Okay. Before we go to Mars, are we now sending... They're building them on the moon, right? Well, remember, he's not going to Mars anymore. He's going to moon. Okay. Apparently now he's teaming up with NVIDIA to launch orbital data centers. That's his solution. So the irony is not lost on me that NVIDIA is basically the company that makes it possible to do deep fakes, makes it possible to do simulations and virtual environments. [01:00:30] And we're to believe Elon Musk, who's been telling us he's going to go to Mars for the past fifteen years, that he just changed his mind. He's going to go to the moon. And guess what? The video card AI video maker guys, hardware guys are helping me out. It's a little on the nose, isn't it? it is i actually just posted a good article from i triple a spectrum that's why the space-based data center hype is already the start and the math won't align for space compute anytime soon all right there you go okay well i'll throw that on the uh show page for anyone that wants to dive a little bit deeper but Yeah, just going into Musk's claims that being in space is the cheapest way to do that. [01:01:18] Okay. But, no, I mean, you guys know my opinion about this. I do firmly believe that we're approaching the AI... No, let me take this back. The US government and corporate America is turning a technology that can be democratized and it can be actually pushed instead of pushing to using that technology and actually in a way that benefit humans they are pushing it to make as much profit out of it for their exits and pushing everybody into utilizing it until they get everybody locked in and then now they have full control and you already actually see now in Claude if anybody has been using Claude you'll see that they start locking their heist models the credits run really fast and now we have to go upgrade was a hundred dollar right buy more credits yeah so the math where those American companies has been working on never math right because they're they're spending billions and the way they are going to bring revenue is just even if all three hundred million american everybody paid twenty dollars it's not going to cover the cost of what they are spending on on building compute and and developing models right so that cost is not it's never going to work that way so you need to know that what's happening right now is subsidies until they lock you in and you become fully dependent. [01:03:11] Now they're going to truck to suck as much out of you to make their profit from you. So that's where you need to pay your attention. And then look at what your Chinese is doing, right? They are saying they are stealing the models from us, but guess what? They figured out ways to build models that consume like small percentage of computes compared to our model and they are the same performance, right? Companies like food delivery is building models now in China and using them. So it's... As usual, in the U.S., we built the entire bubble around AI. Trump helped building that bubble, right? And it's our vehicle. [01:03:55] There is so much money tied into this right now. And until they exit, that bubble is going to keep going. And then once they exit, it's going to burst, and it's going to be glorious. Yeah, and they think they're going to get away with this, like, we're going to build this entire infrastructure. And guess what? In the long run, it's going to be a sliding scale of how much it costs users. So you'll never know. It's almost the same exact setup they use when they set up the big three cell phone networks. Well, I mean, think about, like, how fast architectures of those chips, like... Yeah. It improves. Like, it exponentially improves year by year. [01:04:40] It improves, right? It's crazy. Like, this is going to be obsolete in, what, like, three years? I brought, like, my NVIDIA graphics card, like... It's like last year, and it's already like there's more and more advanced models right now, right? So you're spending this, all this much money, and now you have to build electrical stations and nuclear stations around it, right? And you're sucking resources, and people are not happy, and they are freaking out right now. I can tell you, I've been with a lot of people And the government are freaking out and the people that invested the money freaking out because a lot of city councils and a lot of places because people are not happy. [01:05:30] The people that are winning local election that are people running against data centers. Yep. People are not happy. You have so much fucking desert in the West. Go put them in a damn desert. Why do you have to put it in our lake? inside of our cities you know yeah our communities you have so much space in america go to it somewhere else yeah and like why do we need over a thousand of them china's only got four last week counted that's right but anyway so now the line is hey we need to protect to make sure data sensors stays in u.s because it's going to be cyber security risk and a national security risk if u.s corporations start building their data centers overseas that's a narrative you're hearing right yeah it's a good comment on the math you mentioned the math math is how much you can pay your accountants and lawyers yeah that's american math now apparently the evidence is stacking up that these things are not what they say they are if they're going to keep moving forward with this right what what are they really doing what are they really for yeah seriously i seriously don't think it's anything other than people are just pouring money into it there's a lot of corporations pouring money a lot of rich people just pouring money into it because everybody's trying to ride that wave it's the perfect cover i mean it's the perfect um the black uh budget like they like they can do whatever they want on the surface right and then god only knows what's really inside or underneath right once once it's invested and you built it how are you going to make your money back that's a question right we don't need a thousand of these things to make lol cat videos and podcast intros yeah how are you going to recover your money that is a question well now what if it's not about money i mean and what i mean again if they're not really i hate to sound absolutely crazy i mean could you or I just walk up to one of these and request a tour? [01:07:37] Can we check it out and see it? I know we, we, we see the occasional on air. Okay. Hold that thought mark on air. We see the people get the tour and talk to the people and they're like, well, geez, wow. It's loud in here. And they're like, and this is what it sounds like on the outside. And, and yes, it makes a lot of noise. People are complaining about it and this and that. And like, Well, shit, you could fake all of that to make people – I mean I hate to be Scooby-Doo about it, fake all of that, and literally inside could be like nothing. And they just say, well, this data center here costs X hundred millions of dollars, and it's like the money goes to them. [01:08:09] They don't spend that money doing – they just spend a couple of bucks on Hobby Lobby and a sound effect and a fog machine. I'm like you really never F'ing know. No, and they just suck up the land and do with the F ever. Maybe they do build an underground bunker beneath it and it just makes a loud noise like, well, shit, it's got to be a data center. It sure sounds like one. Bam, I hate that noise. It goes back to Kit's theory, right? It's all this black budget they are doing right now. Yeah. And why would they do that? Why is Trump and everybody seem like they're just on this massive power money grab? Like when is enough enough? [01:08:46] What's the point? A friend of mine and a former colleague of ours from TNT Radio, Charlie Robinson, on one of his shows recently, he was just doing like a solo monologue, talking it out. It was very interesting what he had to say. He said, I don't know what he was making a reference to, but it was an original thought of his. It was crazy. It hasn't left me, but he said, well, geez, I don't know, what if these people who are in charge know that there's some impending doomsday scenario that nobody can do anything about, like the asteroid coming, and they all know, and it's going to be here. Nothing truly matters. How would you act? Well, I'm just going to suck up as much effing money as possible, invest in underground bunkers, build the ballroom, do all of the amazingly stupid, crazy, why are they, what? [01:09:34] Maybe. You never know. Maybe they know that it's all about to end. You really never know. I just – again, but you can't convince me that we need this for the AI or whatever the hell. I mean like even the other theory is, of course, that they do need this in order to have stored the massive amounts of data on us and this and that and to create the videos to blackmail us like we guys were talking about there, which is absolutely frightening. and by the way there's a company that's out there i'll look it up before the end of the show uh shout out to burning beat beard he brings us up all the time where they can actually like change the yeah they can get in there and change the information coming from the surveillance cameras satellite images flock smart home technology inside your own house i forgot the name of it It starts with the letter T. But yeah, so I mean – but that – even then, it's like I don't believe it. [01:10:23] I mean you still don't need this many data centers, not with the technology that's available. Look what's happening in China. Look at blockchain technology. I mean look at technology in general. I mean – Come on. I mean, and then again, the whole thing that they always say, well, they're really fifty to a hundred years ahead of what's available to the public. You put all of these things together and you're like, yeah, what the F are these things really for? They're definitely not for anything that they're saying. These are really salient points. I've heard that too, that they might be a white elephant, that they might be, there might be a degree, like you say, going scooby-doo on this, a degree of fakery or at least serious misrepresentation. [01:11:05] Might they be a cover for something else? I mean, you know, they're Denver, Colorado. It's pretty well known that underneath Denver is the complete backup government facility for the U.S. federal government. Most people suspect it, but it's pretty much knowledge. It's pretty much a fact. And so, you know, what are these in any way connected to any kind of underground network? Because there's allegations and there's some patent information in the U.S. Patent Office that suggests that there's a tram underneath the ground that's more or less nationwide. Part theory, but I think largely fact. Might it be connected to some underground transportation or communication system pertaining to the federal government's backup facility that is underneath Denver that is there? [01:12:01] And, you know, so could it be connected to something else and be a very different thing? or largely fake or at least very different than what we're told. But it seems to me the most likely thing would be to keep tabs on the population that is waking up more and more every day. And they have to have some way of corralling that so if you're them and you're thinking like them you've got to keep the peasants under control numero uno whatever else might follow whatever else might be involved whether it sounds like it's something outlandish or unlikely or um or not i think that the bottom line is they've got to keep the peasants in line I can't count any of this out because the kleptocrats have been commenting for the last six years that the kleptocrats, especially the political class of them, the banking class of them, and the military intelligence class of them, are behaving as though they are not going to need to worry about the consequences of their decisions, actions, policies, litigations, thefts and transgressions over the last six years. [01:13:18] And I'm always wondering what the hell do they know that we don't know what is coming down the pike because these people are behaving we know they're kleptocrats we know they're bullcrap oligarchs but the behavior is so unhinged and so in your face and so ritualistically humiliating to free people around the world it really makes me wonder why they seem to not care if they'll ever be held responsible for their transgressions and crimes much less be electable in the future yeah because they're like total impunity right yeah because they're above it all yeah yeah all right um okay enough on data centers uh mark anything else noteworthy from your trip you wanted to share oh that's the main things um oh there is one other little one i went through schulenberg texas down just south of the legendary LaGrange that ZZ Top sang about. [01:14:27] Yeah. And there was a sign in front of the main school. I got a picture of it. The exact words aren't in front of me, but this ISD, the ISD staff here is fully armed and will fully defend itself against any armed intruder be warned. Ooh. Wow. Wow. Yeah, in big letters on a big sign. This is Texas sometimes. In other words, if you really do it and it's not just some psyop and it's real, that you're going home in a box is what they're saying. Wow. Nice reminder there. Yeah. All right, what's the link you just sent me, Rakesh? To put a cap on this, this is the name of that company that I mentioned, just so you know I'm not effing crazy. [01:15:20] And again, shout out to Burning Beard for putting this on my radar. Hoka. I hope you're sitting down for this one. It's an Israeli cybersecurity firm. Oh, yes. I recall this comment, too. Which provides government agencies with technology capable of locating, hacking into... and manipulating Internet of Things, also known as IoT devices. Let me read that again. It can locate, hack into, and manipulate Internet of Things devices. So let that sink in. I also have a – that's their website there. I have this fancy article. I'll send you the link. We'll just throw this on the show notes. I'll just read you the headline. [01:16:07] From two thousand and twenty-two. Okay? Human rights expert sounds alarm over Israeli firm's dystopian video-altering tech. And it goes into great detail about how this technology can literally manipulate videos, i.e. deepfake it and make it look like it came off the CCTV camera and shit like we were just talking about. This is a very real technology. But it can also hack into Internet of Things and those flock cameras and everything, and it could really like, well, yes, it might be blurry on the camera. Yeah, it could be deepfaked, but we have you, your phone, pinged on that location, and you can't fake that. Well, yes, yes, you can, but you're not supposed to know that. [01:16:52] So now they're either going to come Bill Cooper me or they're going to fugitive me or deepfake me out of existence just for saying that. I don't know. I think they want us to know this and to be scared. Like, it's cool. If you're curious enough to look and know, that's fine. They don't care anymore. Back to that, just we don't care. Total ritual humiliation. Total make everybody as paranoid as possible. Somehow this all plays into it. And that technology is fantastic. exactly uh as you see it used in utopia i can't remember it was i think it was the british version of utopia although the american one was pretty frightening also but it was exactly that or life imitating art yeah right yeah no kidding all right back to funky icebreakers here uh want to bet on my wedding here's another one from ruckus that's worth a look would you like to bet on uh the wedding of your friends or family alan and karen miller's first dance was a win or lose moment for many on the of their wedding guests as the couple glided across the floor during their reception In New York last year, attendees kept track of the chosen artist and length of the dance. [01:18:10] Earlier in the night, they had noted their guesses on prop bet sheets. Proposition or prop bets are usually tied to sporting events. Users place wagers on specific details that aren't necessarily correlated with the game's outcome, like points scored by certain players, for example. Now these bets have entered the world of weddings. So is this a Kalshi thing, Ruckus, like people are using Kalshi and other these modern Israeli designed betting systems that even our political class is grifting on right now? Huge PSYOP thing going on there. Deep, deep dive done by Whitney Webb and another journalist. I forgot his name at this time. [01:18:56] You probably all know what I'm talking about already, but definitely look into that. You can find it out there and you'll probably hear a lot more about that as things progress. But yeah, another Israeli founded firm, of course, these prediction market people. uh but as we were going to air there was on my news feeds there was breaking news too that they're i think it's calci that's one of the two is now going to be offering fifteen minute bets and stuff just recently in the news in case you missed it trump uh teleprompter guy did you guys hear about this so This is just this is another example of how this is so corrupt. I mean, would you take a bet like that where you know that anyone, everyone involved could just rig it? [01:19:35] Like, I mean, this is an obvious one, right, about the wedding and all the propositions and all this gay stuff. It's really silly. But I mean, there's a much larger problem going on here. But the bigger news was recently that the teleprompter guy, the guy who has access to, you know, the speeches and what the Trump's going to say, he's got to put it on the teleprompter. So he knows before anybody else what the president is going to say. And you can place bets on like, is the president going to say certain things? And he could possibly even inject in it because he can make the president say no, no, no, and win a bet that he made on Polymarket. [01:20:08] So it's just, it's more, what's up with all this degeneracy? Again, like nobody's afraid of getting, isn't this like, should this be illegal? I mean, this seems crazy. This seems dangerous. People have a problem with gambling. And now they're like, well, yeah, you can bet on anything. Like anything? Yes, quite literally anything. It's crazy. And, like, I can just see the scam right now also. Like, the groom tells the best man what the song is, how long it lasts, and they decide they'll split the winnings on it, you know, or something like that. Like, this is classic fraud that would be investigated, or even worse yet, you might just get your leg broken by, you know, a bookie's gorilla or something like that. [01:20:53] But on this market... it's just like you know do as thou wilt i guess you know take one of the worst vices that that man has to deal with and you know weaponize it it's it's kind of like it's almost like the prawn industry right like all the big names in the prawn industry are uh ceo'd by people in that same country and what has it done you know it's added a whole layer of addiction and degeneracy and um you know strife for for humans this is like you know what i mean it's it's like what what's what's going on here influencing outcomes in geopolitical and politics and swaying elections and hearts and minds and propaganda has been weaponized well probably from the beginning against the people it's not what you think it is again mark goodwin yes thank you so check out that investigation that they did uh whitney webb and mark goodwin yeah thanks creative accidents i mean mark are you hip to some of these modern uh betting sites that people are using and the people in the trump administration are even using no i'm not up to speed on that but what i'm hearing is a little unsettling to say the least. [01:22:09] I mean, at Valley Forge, George Washington wouldn't even allow the troops to wager. It shows the moral barometer too, right? How badly off it is. Anything goes. An anything goes world is headlong into destruction. It sounds good on the surface to some people, but you just can't operate an organized society like that. It doesn't work. You almost sounded like a Texan there when you finished that statement there. There was a twang there, Mark. Well, yeah, I got here and maybe... Now that you're back on... Maybe the very act of getting here and seeing that Schulenburg sign, you know, don't you come into this school with the wrong idea with a gun in your hand. [01:23:06] Let's refer to it. And it isn't going to be singing the Yellow Rose of Texas either. Trump keeps calling it the Gilded Age, and if folks know about the Gilded Age or Google that, then you'd be like, well, wait a minute, why does he keep saying that? Farrah, what do you think, man? Any thoughts on this wedding, bet on my wedding thing? I agree with Mark, actually, about that. It's a great reflection to where we are as a society from people just think that you can just make money out of everything and something as just betting is the fact that they can bet on anything is it's it's pretty it's a good reflection to the moral declination of people too right because I think we all agree that bidding is not the best moral things you can do. [01:24:12] So the fact that those companies have been able to put it in every day today, and this is not just news, by the way. I was just talking with someone in Egypt, and they were telling me that the bidding market there started growing quite a bit, especially among young generations. because they think they can just make money out of thin air from anything. And sadly, that's the mentality of the new generation, right? They don't think about you really need to earn money through work and through contributing to society. Like our parents used to tell us, oh my gosh, I don't know about you growing up in Egypt, but anytime, and as a young person, you are drawn to quick money-making schemes. [01:24:49] You're a prime target for quick money-maker schemes. rifter schemes and anytime i ever brought something like that up to you know a mentor a parent an adult a teacher whatever it was like you you got to work hard you got to earn your stuff and now it's just like yeah you know maybe you could be an influencer and just get rich for that's right you can be all right or you can bet and yeah you can make money that way yeah um So, yeah, just pretty, pretty sad. Well, here's, here's a great example creative accidents is reminding of us of us of in the chat here remember when US soldier was charged with using classified information to profit from profit from prediction markets. [01:25:40] Yeah, there it is right here at justice.gov. Government website. U.S. soldier charged with using classified information to profit from prediction market bets. Gannon Ken Van Dyke allegedly made almost half a million dollars trading on Polymarket on the basis of classified information regarding the timing of a U.S. military operation to capture Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela. Half a million bucks almost. Four hundred thousand dollars. Isn't there some sort of subversion tactic and some popular ism belief where like, you know, you want to see like the society suffer some sort of moral decline or decay? I forget which ism it is. [01:26:22] Oh, it's a few isms. Yeah, yeah. I'm being cheeky. I'm being tongue in cheeky here. It's very ironic because it's coming – the administration is all like, I'm a law and order, and he's screaming all the time about communists this and communists that. And I'm just like, dude, him and his family, they have – they actually physically own shares in this company or something. One of his sons does, one of the Trumps. I can't remember. Yeah, I believe it's probably Kalshi because Kalshi was being advertised during the World Cup, and we all know that's – it's it's honestly the level of corruption i could not right believe it and and in your face in your face and i remember in the first term i was one of those people saying well he really like you know he's not he did not make money and he left everything to become a president and then here comes a second term and just like they make the bidens look like angels Yeah, dude, Burisma is nothing compared to just one of their Kalshi bets, not to mention all the other crap they got going, stealing islands. [01:27:27] The Middle East, freaking like, board of peace. And all the deals that Kushner did in the Middle East, right? It's insane, man. Yeah, like letting your family member, quote-unquote, make money on these things and be the mediator in a global conflict or an international conflict. It's just all so wrong. It doesn't make any sense. I like what Lurley said here. When corruption is rife, working hard is a fool's errand. Yeah, that seems to be the going ethos, doesn't it? Why do I have to work harder? Aren't they going to give me universal basic high income, according to Elon? Well, you have to wait until robots and AI takes over. [01:28:16] Well, come on, robots. You're blocking the data centers. So let the data centers go. I'm not blocking it. Dude, we got the metadata center here in Temple. I didn't stop it. So, you know, don't kill me, Terminator robots, when Skynet takes over. Right. Oh, my gosh. Did you guys see? This isn't in the icebreaker section, but I've got it up, and I think it's interesting. Mark, if you're still there, when you're back, you might get a kick out of this. There's a congressional candidate in Hawaii. His name is Kirill Bassin. He got knocked the fuck out on a beach for being a drunk asshole. Did you see this, Mark? No, I did not see that. [01:29:14] Is he a candidate or a member of Congress? He's a candidate. Okay. Hawaii? Yeah, in Hawaii. Check this out. This is like, I've got a news report on it too, but this is like the raw footage here. Okay. Oh, damn. Put your bag away, bro. Put your bag away. I told him if he wants to go to the hospital, come here. It is open. It ain't over. I didn't put him in the ground. I didn't put him in the ground. You're going to hit women now. let's go bro all right good it's over it's over i'm a child i'm a child i'm forty years old locals not having it let's go oh chair grower wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up wake Yeah, that guy that started the fight in there, he's a congressional candidate for Hawaii, and his name is Kirill Bassin. [01:31:30] And he was wearing that swimming shorts? Yeah, can you believe that? He should get disqualified for wearing that. That's a freaking boxer. Yeah, those look like... That's not even his pedo. Yeah, those are boxer briefs, man. Those are briefs, man. Yeah, so, you know, the young contingent of our... Is he a MAGA guy? He looks like a MAGA guy. I don't know what... Which one was the candidate, the one that seemed to be... The intoxicated one in the rainbow underwear? Threatening everybody, being an idiot, who had the glass jaw, went down pretty easy after throwing the beach chair. Yeah, um... I mean, is this something really super viral? [01:32:22] It did go very viral, actually, yeah. I wonder if it's maybe something contrived just for publicity, maybe some publicity stunt. I don't know, dude. This guy was completely wasted. Check this out. Here's Hawaii News Now talking about it. No, that doesn't prove anything. on a Hawaii congressional candidate who remains in a Maui jail after a violent dispute caught on camera. A bystander who knocked him out is speaking publicly for the first time as the candidate's lawyers are defending him in court. Only Hawaii News Now was in a Wailuku courtroom when forty-year-old Kirill Basin, a Democratic candidate for Hawaii's second congressional district, made a court appearance wearing handcuffs. [01:33:10] These are just allegations. My client has presumptive innocence. He's charged with two counts of first-degree terroristic threatening. The judge kept Basin's bail at one million dollars, even though his attorney called the amount outrageous. Saturday's altercation in was caught on video where and a bystander knocked him if he wants to go to th obtained unedited video a with comma. The man Maui as the bystander. Maybe I and then as I got closer just getting more irate an I'm going to hurt you or I can injure you or you like scrap and, you know, to the aunties. Maui police say the altercation started when a sixty one year old man asked Basin to turn down his music. [01:34:09] Basin allegedly implied he had a firearm and would shoot the victim's wife. But I heard the reaction. He's got a gun. I'm like, brother, pump your brakes and go sit down and leave him alone. And right at that point, he got within two inches of my face and he stood there and he goes, brah. He like go, put his hands on me. And as soon as he tried to shove me, I hit him with a left and a right. And that's when he stumbled and fell over the chairs. Yeah. Yeah, stay right here. Kama says when Basin swung a beach chair, he used his mixed martial arts training to knock him out. Just block it and go for the KO. Yeah, just predict myself, which is why I had my hand up and then I adjusted to block the chair. [01:35:03] When you read the court documents, you read the news stories, you see that people are genuinely afraid of Kirill Basin. Were you afraid of Kirill Basin? No, I didn't even know who the guy was. Police say Basin allegedly pulled out a knife and threatened multiple people before tossing it into the ocean. Kama says it was a five inch switchblade, which he found and turned over to officers. He ended up pulling the knife out on me after the altercation. And that was obviously a game changer when I knew he was off. The court is recommending Basin undergo a mental health exam, and his attorneys are disputing the allegations. [01:35:43] I don't think this guy is going to be a congressperson. Oh, not anytime soon. But I don't know, man. I mean... He was intoxicated. Those charges seems pretty harsh. And that bail of like one million dollars. I don't know. That seems way off. That's just my sense. Yeah. Terroristic. I mean, come on. There's there's bar fights that would be far worse than that. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's there seems to be a kind of excessiveness about the whole thing. Reading more into it than it really was. Although I don't think he's a serious candidate, just because you put your name on a ballot, and I've run for office before, just getting your name on the ballot doesn't mean that much. [01:36:32] You have to have an organization and some money to spend, and you've got to be really focused. Just throwing your name on the hat, it doesn't mean much at all. Yeah. Well, in Hawaii, things are very, very expensive. That much I know. And they don't like people that threaten people with weapons there. It's very, very harsh on Second Amendment there. So for him to claim he had a gun and threaten a sixty one year old and then to. I don't know. That's the thing they're not telling us here yet. It's kind of like hearsay, the gun and the knife. But I think the gun and the knife and the threats are probably, you know, the big deal there to the judge. [01:37:18] Yeah, it's a cultural or social thing there probably, yeah. Yeah, and a five-inch switchboard? Aren't most Hawaiians very nice and not violent and all that? I mean, they're more like that guy. He's like, hey, bro, calm down, bro-y. They're called cool like that, right? Yeah, generally speaking, if you're respectful, you're going to be respected there, you know? But that guy was clearly the opposite of respectful. Although many in Congress, and too many of them are lawyers... They say that a number of them couldn't get any other job and would be probably unqualified or turned away from most other jobs other than being a practicing lawyer because their reputations and their track record is so bad. [01:38:11] Yeah, that's true. That's why Will Rogers, the humorist, said, we send congressmen on foreign junkets. They go overseas. It might be fine, except they come back. Yeah. Whoever said anything about coming back. Right. All right, Ruckus, beware. Beware. We're into the... This one was not mine. Yeah, this one came from our buddy Derp. Shout out to DerpScan. Oh, screw you, Derp. Genetically altered nuclear monster sharks could be eating whales. This is out of dreadedmodernity.news. A mysterious predator has been tearing into whales, seals, and giant tuna off the New York coast, leaving bite marks the size of dinner plates. [01:39:03] and sparking theories of radioactive sharkzilla spawned by decades of government nuclear waste dumping. Oh, my gosh. Sharkzilla. Well, how? How is this a thing? Because nothing says summer, like the possibility of that Cold War bureaucrats cooked up a genetically enhanced killing machine in the Atlantic. Monotauk is once again ground zero for monster shark drama. The humpback whale turned up with a twenty four inch bite wound. A gray seal took a twenty two inch chomp. A four hundred pound tuna was found shredded. local shark scientist craig o'connell the montauk-based marine biologist who's appeared in more than forty shark week programs launched an investigation in september last year and pointed the finger at the hudson canyon a vast underwater gorge about a hundred miles offshore that drops from nine hundred feet to four thousand feet and apparently there's a lot of nuclear waste dumped down there so i don't know this this sounds like shark week uh advertising to me we always see this around this time of year each year crazy sharks literally july twenty six to august first yes that's and this is what they do and that's probably actually a tie-in to one of the new specials that they probably featured yep uh bet you're right oh so i missed it already Hallelujah. [01:40:38] Yeah. We were hanging out here in town. We mentioned that earlier, and I was in a place wearing the shark shirt, and there was a poster with the shark week, and I took a picture of me with my shark shirt and the shark week poster. There you go. Yep. yeah the sharkzilla how much you want to bet and and the thing is mystical pharaoh about missing shark week these days it's not like it was fifteen years ago where oh i missed it you can just go to the streaming service they still have it up yeah yeah remember back in the day like setting your tivo oh recording i know man you just have to record i don't even watch live tv i don't even remember when was us well world cup was the last time i Oh, gosh. [01:41:24] Like in an airport or a hotel or a restaurant. Yeah, hotels. When I go to hotels, that's when I watch like... Isn't it awful too? Yeah. I just click up until I find the South Park channel and I just leave it there. That's the only way I know how to stay sane if I'm in a hotel. I usually like to like Forensic Files. That's my thing when I go to hotels. I like to watch Forensic Files. That's a good place to watch Forensic Files. Yeah. yeah you know what's interesting i just realized something this there might be something to this and it's partly to what you just said a little while ago there hasher about you can catch it on demand it's not like it used to be because of the lack of the what we consider television that whole thing is like kind of disappeared right i mean people don't really watch tv i i mean maybe they do i just i don't think that they do i think it's all like on demand stuff now is for the most part how people consume their content they don't just leave it up to like channel surfing anymore algorithm Yeah, the reason I bring this up is because – jeez, man, get out of my head now. [01:42:31] Because usually every year it's tough. I mean, no joke. I usually – some years I would be up like sweating bullets getting ready for this time of year. I'm like, oh my god, I'm going to see these – everywhere and i mean they would be all in your face everywhere all the effing time the shark week stuff the news stories like oh it would seem like well how come all the shark attacks always always happen around this time of year when they're doing their shark week stuff like yeah sure okay buddy but anyways but i would like no matter what i would be like i i don't watch tv i try not to go online it got so bad to where like i just try to avoid everything for a whole effing week And I couldn't even do that because they would do the buildup for like a whole month like they're doing with Halloween. [01:43:14] By the way, they're promoting Halloween at Walt Disney World starting like this month. They're doing a whole special thing for the kids a little early for Halloween, everybody. But anyways, that's another story. But you see what I'm saying. And now it's like this year I didn't even like – other than the poster at the place that we were hanging out with, I didn't see any news about it. didn't catch any of these stories other than what derp dropped in our discord chat there i still see my occasional daily shark in a clever fun way but it's nothing like it used to be i almost think i got over it somehow i kicked that off of my karma from the universe the algorithm stopped shoving it in my face and up my butt so i'm like what's going on here it's because a lot of these things are changing they turned off cern that's what it is i figured it out Yeah. [01:44:00] No, but yeah, TV and the way we consume media has completely changed. And to your point about the algorithms, it's like getting very personal, sort of. But I mean, how personal is it? Is your algorithm really tailor-made because of your interests? Or were you twisted into thinking that you like that because of the algorithm? You never know. Yep, yep. It's true. Let's see here. Okay. Guys, I might have to drop. All right, man. Before you do, there it is. I found it in the article. There is an episode tied to this. It's called Sharkzilla Takes New York on the Discovery Channel as part of Shark Week. So there you go. [01:44:47] It is not called Sharkzilla Takes New York. Yes, it is. Okay. All right. Now, who's writing this shit? ChatGPT... i mean please you i i just we deserve better shark psyops yeah we do it's so stupidly transparent as marketing material um let's see here oh this got dropped in uh one of my chats with regards to how hawaiians feel about tourists they also don't like tourists that disrespect the nature there A Hawaiian man who beat up a disrespectful tourist was given a letter of recognition by a state senator and dubbed the Ambassador of Aloha. In early May, a tourist visiting Lahaina was walking along the beach looking at a beloved endangered Hawaiian monk seal named Lani playing in the water. [01:45:38] The man then picked up a rock and threw it directly at the seal's head, narrowly missing it, and people on the beach started yelling at the man, telling him to stop and that they'd called the police. To which the man said, I'm rich enough to pay the fines, and pushed people aside as he tried to leave the beach. At which point, a local environmental activist shared some Hawaiian culture with the man before the police arrived and arrested him. The man's now facing two years in jail and seventy thousand dollars in fines. Hawaiian Senator Brenton Awa later said that he doesn't condone violence, but he'd be giving the environmental activist who's being kept anonymous a letter of recognition for his efforts to preserve Hawaii's wildlife and dubbed him the ambassador of Aloha. [01:46:14] Senator Awa also said that he hopes airlines will start playing videos like this on flights into Hawaii as a warning that if you disrespect the locals, their lands or the wildlife, you will find out. fun fact so aloha doesn't always mean hello that's one other fun fact about hawaii uh that's good stuff all right pharaoh i know you got to get out of here man thanks for joining us tonight and i hope we see you next week thank you guys yeah absolutely looking forward to it thank you all right there he goes mystical arrow see you later dude uh let's see psychosis uh hopefully you're still with us but uh we shall roll on as though you are there so we did we made it through genetically altered nuclear monster sharks that was nothing but a commercial although it was fun thank you derp for that one Oh, okay. [01:47:10] Here's one from Ow My Neck. This one, I don't know what to say about it. It'll probably be short, but does this sound good to anyone? KFC and Oreo launch a fried chicken flavored cookie. That's right. If you're listening instead of watching, you're not seeing that there is packaging on screen here for it and they've removed the white stuff oreo stuff inside and replaced it with some sort of kfc goo oreo china has dropped a limited edition fried chicken flavored cookie in partnership with kfc and it's straight up bizarre according to geekspin.com it looks like a normal oreo from the outside because the wafers are the same chocolate ones you're used to the difference is in the middle where the sweet cream has been replaced with a filling meant to taste like kfc's original recipe an eleven herb and spice blend seasoning and salt and all minus the meat of course I'm not going to eat that, Ruckus. [01:48:27] I don't eat Oreos anyway. I don't eat KFC. This is China, right? This was the China Oreos? Yeah, yeah. Fun fact, everybody. Cockroaches apparently taste like chicken. And Oreo stuffing needs emulsifiers. there you have it i think we've solved the mystery right there they're like what are we going to do with all these damn cockroaches that we farmed we have too many of them uh bill gates didn't follow through on his order um for america and klaus schwab no i'm just kidding they're like yeah who the hell knows dude i wouldn't try they do they do say that everything tastes like chicken so i mean i have not eaten cockroaches anyone out there you let me know do you think Maybe I'm on to something. [01:49:11] Maybe the cockroaches taste like, or maybe the Oreo Center. I don't know. In my mind, whatever that stuff, that yellow gunky, it looks disgusting, first of all. Second of all, whatever that tastes like, which I will never know, but in my mind, it tastes like crushed up cockroaches. I don't think you're far off. We probably just ruined someone's box of cookies tonight. Yeah, sorry about that. You should ruin it for yourself anyways if you're eating that crap. Just read the ingredients and then go read up online. Ask ChatGPT, how are cookies made? How do I make homemade cookies? And then compare that to the ingredients that are on that container. [01:49:49] Have fun. Right. What's up, Media Bear? Media Bear says, who is that dashing lad in Asher's background? I don't know. Friends of yours, perhaps? It's clones. Thank you. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. It's clones have been unleashed. They're in VR headsets, too, man. I don't know what they're watching in there, but they're doing some sort of augmented reality show. all right next up in tonight's uh wacky weird wtf uh icebreaker missed icebreakers in recent insanity episode here tonight on the boiler room uh this one this one comes from cavi from the mystical american patriots society if you haven't been checking that out you're missing out and you should it's available in the land of the ash formerly known as canada That's right. [01:50:43] Land of Ash. So this one, this is definitely a Whiskey Tango Foxtrot moment, especially for the pilot, the student pilot. So the headline is, student pilot forced to land plane solo after instructor jumped to his death from midair. This is crazy. Let's see what ABC has to say about it. We turn to a horrific story now emerging, the shocking moments on a plane, an instructor jumping from the plane, leaving his young student to land the plane on her own, how she saved her own life. Here's Victor Akendo tonight. Tonight, the frightening incident for a student pilot in Argentina forced to land a Cessna one fifty during a training exercise after her instructor jumped to his death midair. [01:51:35] Authorities say forty two year old Leandro Bertazzo had been working as a flight instructor since twenty twenty two. On Saturday, the student taking off with Bertazzo from the Flying Parrot Cordoba School. An official from the flight school telling ABC News, the instructor told the student, you know what to do. Then he unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the door and jumped out of the plane. This was a remarkable breach of trust between an instructor and a student, putting her in a very dangerous situation. the flight school and man plane safely. The student She just didn't have the were required to use that Bertazzo's body in the Tol according to a school of family says the pilot had David, that student still in shock after landing, saying she initially thought her instructor was joking. [01:52:31] The federal prosecutor's office is investigating. David, we're just glad she's OK. Just an awful story out of Argentina tonight. Victor, thank you. Are you muted, Hesher? Thanks. That's pretty crazy. I don't even know what to say about that. What happened in that guy's life that led him to make that decision? Jeez. Did you see that, Mark, or were you away? I caught the very tail and give me the real brief recap. Just so a twenty two year old woman was doing flight school in a small Cessna airplane in Argentina and they were up flying and her instructor said, you know what to do. And then he opened the door and he just jumped out to his death. [01:53:20] He suicided from from his training job and she had to land the plane on her own. That's not the plane that crashed in a town, is it? No, no, no. She landed. She did good. Oh, yeah, there was another report earlier about a very small plane that landed. I shouldn't say landed, but crashed, but non-fatally. No one was killed in a town, apparently in the United States in that one. Interesting that there'd be two plane incidents, both involving a small plane, but with very different outcomes. Yeah. I think that one you're mentioning was in New Mexico. Yeah, probably. At any rate... Yeah, that's very drastic. I mean, what else can you say? [01:54:03] Again, hearing it on the mainstream media, provided what we're hearing is true. provided there's no deliberate lying, provided there's no mistakes being made, misinterpretations and all that, allowing for all that. Yeah, that's a seriously dramatic move. Well, see you, girly. I think you've got this flying thing down. I'm going to do a swan dive onto the pavement. Yeah, yeah. How do we know she didn't kill him? Maybe she kicked him out. Maybe they were married. Secretly or something. Now, what's interesting, we'd have to check the data on that article or that incident, but this was Argentina and they were like up in the World Cup, right? [01:54:49] It was them versus, what was it? It was Spain versus Argentina, right? I believe so. So maybe there was some weird Illuminati ritual about this story. This was posted July nine. So it's a little bit, a little bit stale now, but I don't know. But I think that was, yes, that was right in the middle of all that stuff. And the dude's ages and her age too, both very interesting. And there was a lot of weird forty-two stuff going on along with some other weird numerology stuff throughout the whole World Cup. So, who knows you know and again who knows but i mean scary thought also i mean like you're just minding your own business walking down the street with your dog and pop like oh what the hell dude just fell from the sky splat right in front of me yeah human explosion no one wants oh it's a lawyer if it's a lawyer you just walk over him I saw a video where it's like people are just minding their own damn business crossing a crosswalk and out of nowhere, a freaking deer comes out of nowhere, just collides right into somebody and down they go. [01:56:01] They were getting the person up. I don't know if that person made it or not. Got hit by a deer going full speed. It was crazy. Yeah, for sure. The humans being hit by a deer rather than a deer being hit by the human. Yeah. Yeah. It's wild. Yep. Turnabout. It could have been AI. I don't know. Yeah. Or the deer, the deer could have been blackmailed with a deep fake video and he's innocent. He's an innocent deer. Caught him on a flock camera that had been altered by Torca or whatever. all right uh ruckus you're gonna love this one um oh let's see creative accidents what is sky king day tell us what sky king day is oh okay that was the the one that the pilot guy right who did yeah yeah the one he yeah yeah that was crazy just on the screen real quick here um august tenth twenty eighteen A bombardier Q-Four hundred operated by Horizon Air was stolen from Seattle Tacoma Airport by twenty eight year old Richard Russell, a Horizon Air Ground Service agent with no piloting experience. [01:57:10] After Russell performed an unauthorized takeoff, two McDonald F-Fifteen Eagle fighters were scrambled to intercept the aircraft. ctac air traffic control made radio contract contact with russell the sole occupant who described himself as a quote-unquote broken guy got a few screws loose i guess about one hour and fifteen minutes after takeoff russell successfully executed a loop before purposely crashing the aircraft on the sparsely populated ketron island in puget sound with the intent to die by suicide there were no collateral human injuries Russell was the sole fatality. So yeah, people do weird stuff when they flip out and think they have access to an airplane. [01:57:54] In this guy's case, he thought he could do it, and well, he kind of did. Shit, these people think they can fly. I mean, that sounds pretty crazy to me. whatever happened to the politician is about to expose some big mobster or some big wheel and the stupid politician goes up in his private plane not thinking about that's the easiest way to take him out is is to uh sabotage his plane and down he goes a la paul wellstone we might remember right those were the good old days now they're now it's a different twist Yeah, it is. All right, this one, TKO, the parent company of Ultimate Fights and WWE, all this stuff, they had a big merger recently. [01:58:50] Yeah, TKO reveals a thirty million dollar loss on the Freedom to fifty event at the White House, but still called it a roaring success. I'm not going to even bother reading anything on that beyond the headline there. But there's the folks that say it was a roaring success on the stage. Some of them and a thirty million dollar loss. Are we surprised? I'm not. It was a huge success, bro. If it wasn't for that, we would never have been able to witness that guy get on the microphone and say, Michelle Obama's a man. It was totally worth it. Yeah. Who cares if they're down thirty million and they just repeated something that's been said on the Internet a million times? [01:59:37] And the ballroom construction has been delayed. Yeah, yeah, they're getting just Trump administration's just not having a very good look lately are they not that they have but Thank you people our power it's not just the ballroom either i know you heard about that news story there uh mark but just like today uh the breaking news also about his helipad i don't know if he caught that he uh they stopped they've halted construction on his helipad thing that he was working on on the top there because it didn't match it wasn't level with the horizon overlooking the south lawn and that concerned trump so i'm not making that that's what they said in the story i'm like dude what the hell and so yeah so they're scrapping it starting over uh the reflecting pool debacle that wasn't a debacle that was really his fault after all and now he's throwing janine piero under the bus over it's all crazy um yeah fun times yeah a lot of bus throwing under going on yeah so much so i'm about to do like an epic thread on my twitter about that You know, you got the laudable things about the government, Arlington National Cemetery, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the ritual there. [02:00:54] The Smithsonian is a little overblown, but it's pretty interesting. And the key memorials, Jefferson, Lincoln. The White House is a pretty storied place, despite some of the rat scallions that have been in there. Cheney was really president and George W. was vice. Don't kid yourself. But to just step in there and go, I think I'll build a ballroom. Just... is such a misfire. I mean, it's completely off base with all the laudable tradition that may exist there in that, in that city. It's just so ill-timed and of such poor taste. I mean, having a nice ballroom is all good and well, but the economy is basically failing. I mean, a Federal Reserve official from Dallas, I believe. [02:01:51] One of the regional Federal Reserve officials was quoted as saying, he goes, well, the American people, corporate profits are off the page. Corporate America is doing better than could possibly be imagined. And then he goes, and consumers are hanging in there. And I thought to myself, no, they're just hanging. Yeah, we are just barely hanging. It's crazy. Like, you know, going back to the data centers just for a second, some people were saying stuff in the chat. I remember he said it, but it's like people can't afford to buy houses anymore. And this is a great way to like make people think they don't even want a house near one of any of these, you know? [02:02:32] Well, I mean, what better measurement can you make? Certainly, it's a very good measurement. If a vast majority of the people can barely afford an apartment, let alone get a house, that is a surefire way of measuring that the U.S., in the economic realm at the very least, is nearly a failed state. Yeah, absolutely. You can go to Middle Eastern countries, Saudi Arabia, probably United Arab Emirates. College is paid for. You get a leg up for housing. Even even Gaddafi did that in Libya. Yeah. Yeah. Arguably, things like that are things that got him where he is. Yeah, I mean, you can argue the pros and cons of all that economically, philosophically, socialism, whatever you want to argue. [02:03:20] But the fact of the matter is, is that, you know, you want to build ballrooms when when the average person is one meal or a couple of paychecks away from destitution. And that is let them eat cake and capital letters. Yeah, absolutely. I'm sorry. I've acknowledged some of the things Trump's done that have some advantage and some good aspects to them, but there's just no way you can justify that. No. I thought maybe back when he first won, I thought maybe we'd be able to call balls and strikes and put things on a scale, but it was only a few weeks before it was like, oh, it's going to be a tip scale. I'm not going to count the beans on the losing side because... [02:04:04] This is not good. Yeah, I mean, and to have that on the White House grounds, half built and now basically stymied or halted or suspended because the courts are saying Congress never approved it. I mean, what an eyesore on top of it all. Just just so he can stand at the summit of Mount Ego. So the reflecting pool, a fail. The helipad, a fail. The ballroom, a fail. Ending the war in Ukraine, fail. Starting a war with Iran, fail. Depleting all of the military's missiles to Israel, fail. Excess fault. Oh, yeah, but then it's Feinberg's fault. It's just a chain of not my fault. A chain of people being thrown into the bus. Didn't do it. [02:05:01] It wasn't me. I didn't do it. Didn't do it. Didn't do it. All right, Mark, I know you got to get out of here. He's going to build the arch too, right? So based on all the other shit he's been building, that's not going to go so well, is it? Uh, I would think probably not. They should probably stop. During the America two fifty thing. Did you guys see that they had like a giant inflatable like version of the arch to show off what it was going to look like? But it was like this cheap ass, um, just inflatable thing that everyone was laughing at. They're like, what a joke. Like a, like a North Korean ICBM. Yeah. Yeah. [02:05:33] Like the fake tanks from World War II that they would put up there or whatever. Yeah. I would have rather seen an inflatable doll. Yeah. that we as adolescents all fantasize. Well, you should see the robots that are coming out of China. You'd be amazed. Yep. Definitely. They don't even have that constant surprised look like the ones you're talking about, Mark. Some younger guys are going to be working on their approach. Hey baby. Yeah. Right. Mark, I know you got to get out of here. So any, any final thoughts or point people to where you're going to be? Well, I don't do UK Column regularly on the live news anymore. I do a news magazine, a compendium called Stateside. [02:06:22] And that is brand new. There's one posted at ukcolumn.org right now. So it's a monologue. It's more independent called Stateside. Check it out at UK Column. I'm working on the second one now, partially drawing from my travels. And I also have a blog, thetruthhound.com. And I still have a radio show Thursdays, one o'clock central republic broadcasting.org called stop the presses and occasional contributions to the print version of American free press. All right. So, yeah, it's all good. You guys are doing a bang-up job. Interesting and off-the-beaten-path stuff today. Yeah, well, that was our intention. We wanted to have a little bit of fun coming back into the boiler room here tonight. [02:07:09] Before you go, Mark, I just have to show this to you, and we'll get your thoughts about it later. You can do some research. You're walking down a lonely path, as it were, in the woods, and you run into this. What do you do? That is a censure-style four-legged robot with a chainsaw. I think a twelve gauge is appropriate. This is, in case you want to do research about this, we'll include the link to this on the websites and the show post, but it's called Satyrus. This robot's called Three Halves. Very, very nightmare-inducing stuff. So have a pleasant night, Mark, and thanks for joining us. Well, I'll just say, if you're playing rock, paper, scissors, the scissors is the twelve gauge. [02:07:56] yeah definitely yeah it's arms are detached i mean yeah it's got a chainsaw attachment it's got god only knows what other detachments there knowing uh how the world is with their sex robots and stuff anyways but yeah unless he's my ally then i could put him to good use otherwise if it's him or me i'm going to pull one one or two uh trick one or two pulls of the trigger on the twelve gauge and that's the end of him There you go. Yeah. And, and if, if quote unquote, they are going to have things like that, they should send us one. So send us a Saturn in a box, please. We'll, we'll test it for you. Yeah. You have to have a balance of power, a balance of forces, right? [02:08:34] Right. If I have to face a Saturn, I need a Saturn. So I'll try it out. I got mine. Okay. all right mark thanks for being here tonight yep see you guys later great job all right there he goes mark anderson bugging out um there was this whole thing okay ruckus i don't even know if this is well fuck it let's just do it um this one also hit the uh let's see oh yeah someone named ruckus put this one in um that guy again yeah so so so what do viagra the world cup and england all have in common why are these three sure this one was but i don't think this was mine really there's no way i think it might have been are you digging deep so far back i don't even remember dropping maybe yeah i went pretty far up the up the roll there i wanted to truly truly clear the icebreaker room out but uh Yeah, apparently England's reported Viagra use before the Mexico clash in the World Cup has been explained by the WADA. [02:09:52] Apparently they allow the usage of Viagra. You may be asking yourself why no one wants to see footballers trying to play the game with boners. But yeah, reports that England's players could use sildenafil, which is what Viagra's actually is, before their FIFA World Cup clash with Mexico has sparked questions about anti-doping rules. Here's why the medication is permitted under WADA regulations. It may help athletes... at high altitude and that's why it remains legal in football despite ongoing scientific debate so they're saying that this uh common drug ed drug is also approved and used for altitude sickness I do remember dropping this now, yeah. [02:10:48] So the preparations for doing a football game with Mexico, people started assuming included Viagra enhancement. And why should we have a problem with that? We want to do the injecting the soldiers with the super serum with the testosterone, right? And we had the first ever, speaking of games, forget the UFC shit on the White House lawn. They had the enhanced, the first ever enhanced games where they were also betting on polymarketing calci. Right. Anyway, yeah, silly. Well, for anyone who's wondering, is this real? Did they actually do it? Boss man over at England says, no, England players will do everything they can to fight altitude during Sunday's World Cup round. [02:11:41] Sixteen match against Mexico. Well, almost everything during his pregame press conference. The England coach, Thomas Tuchel, was asked about suggestions. His players could utilize Viagra to deal with the altitude. And he said the information and the sport didn't reach me. So that's not true, he said with a laugh. But yeah, apparently where they were playing sits around seven thousand two hundred twenty feet above sea level. So several outlets suggested England could take advantage of the fact Viagra isn't on the World Anti-Doping Agency's list of banned substances. But it turned into a whole thing where everybody assumed because of that. [02:12:26] all the footballers were taking the pills darn media tricked everybody again i know they just you read the headlines and you share it on your social media next thing you know you get stories like uh ukrainian uh rake out russian rape what were the nevermind i'm not gonna go there but you know yeah i know where you were headed This is how that stuff happens, though, anyways. Yeah, totally. We don't need to square that circle, but I know exactly where you were. It's funny, though, to think about that with those soccer players, though. Could you imagine running around? Oh, my gosh, yeah. Playing soccer with three legs? Oh, thanks. [02:13:05] No tripod soccer. Like a little Jimothy on the... Here we go. This one comes from Funk Soul, our very own Funk Soul, who does a mixtape over here at Alternate Current Radio on Saturdays, which you should check out if you haven't yet. A trip to India left me with thirty eight parasites in my brain. Oh, no. So thinking about that trip to India, I don't know the first time. Yeah, the first time Laurie Denman knew something was wrong was when she made the horrifying discovery of a meter long tapeworm after going to the toilet it looks absolutely disgusting yeah no kidding i don't you don't even need to hear that um yeah so she is one of only a handful of people in the uk who are diagnosed with this brain infection each year which is caused by the larvae of the pork tapeworm ew golly gee i don't even know what to say she works in media she went on a three-month trip around india back in oh seven this is where her doctor says uh she believes she picked up the infection gnarly gnarly i don't even want to read this anymore i'm closing this funk solely grossed me out good job that's one of those classic like monsters inside me yeah that's yeah you know that's what always one of the freaky ones Yeah, no, it's actually really horrible. [02:14:31] She had headaches and then seizures and she couldn't talk right. Ugh. It said after CAT scans and MRIs, doctor sat me down and said, right, okay, we've looked at your scans and we've found thirty-eight parasites on your brain. Whoa. Get the hell out of here. Wow. It is so gnarly. Wow. Okay. Well, I'll put that on the show page for all you medical sickos out there. Yeah, one meter is almost forty inches. That is so nasty. quick we need a story that'll make you feel happy so i got one i got one for you this is this is happiness happy happy joy joy okay this is the happy maker right here and of course it's from brian snowdy thank you brian um share this tab and boom mexican batman all right now we're talking the mexican batman tapes men to lamp posts So there you go. [02:15:46] You got a couple of dudes taped to lamp posts there. A vigilante has been nicknamed Mexico's Batman after hunting down bike thieves and taping them to lamp posts. That's right. It looks like brown packaging tape to me. I would use duct tape, but I'm not a Mexican Batman. Police in the western state of Jalisco are searching for a suspect after at least five men were bound to poles with ratero, Spanish for thief, written on their foreheads. Some also had cat whiskers and mustaches drawn on their faces, while others had their mouths taped shut. Warning signs were placed beside them and the bicycles they were accused of stealing were left nearby as apparent evidence. [02:16:39] Oh, this is good stuff. I don't think we need to go in further into the details there, but I will link it on the show page for everybody. That's crazy, man. Thank you, Brian. I actually saw that one hit my feed when it broke and I meant to bring it into the boiler room, but just overlooked it. So I'm glad you dropped us that one. The Mexican Batman. doesn't feel good right interesting yeah interesting they decided to nickname him a batman rather than here in america maybe they would have called him a spider-man type character because that's right or punisher or whatever well whatever but the vigilante culture is cool again there was a movie just recently that was quite controversial allegedly oh yeah a bunch of people off what was that one called oh i don't remember the title of it but i can I did. [02:17:34] I actually had a that was another one. I had a whole piece I wrote out for Boiler Room and never got to. Yeah, that I had to do a little bit of deep digging on that one to figure out like who funded it and kind of. But yeah, it's it's it's it's meant for the Tommy Robinson crowd. That movie, I believe, put it that way. Movie. Well, back in the day, they had the Charles Bronson movies, Death Witch. Death Witch, yeah. And I just recently found out that they remade that, and I think they remade it with Bruce Willis or somebody like that. Oh, really? Okay. I don't know why they would do that, but I'm curious. i'm pretty sure it was bruce willis interesting look into it i'm like i was almost semi-interested i was like well that does seem interesting i do like a good revenge film every now and again my favorite is mandy mandy's best revenge film ever made uh the charles bronson ones might actually be worth a revisit because you know it's also some commentary and stuff about guns and culture and gun culture a lot oh yeah the guy he was exposed to for the first time The shooting. [02:18:40] There was a lot of interesting stuff in that movie there. They made like three of those, didn't they? They made like a ton of them. Yeah. I think more than three. I think the one and two are probably the only two worth watching, though, if I recall. Like most movies from that era, first and second ones are the best. One of those sequels, an oddball one, number three or four, is actually a cult classic. I have to look all this stuff up again. It's been years. Yeah, it's been a long time since I've watched Old Crown. This is one that's got like an insane, an insane, an insane climax. Just an insane, crazy, yeah. [02:19:21] Have fun looking this one up, folks. Revisit Death Wish. Yeah, Death Wish. All right, we got another one from Brian here. Robot spotted begging for cash on its knees in street after hitting rock bottom. Bottom. So a hard up humanoid robot has been spotted begging for cash on its knees in the street after apparently hitting rock bottom. The AI beggar was filmed pleading with passersby for change in China's Sichuan province last week after sourcing a donation bowl. a qr code and a sign the cash strapped cyborg it's not a cyborg unless there's person parts so that's poor writing at the dreaded daily star here the cash strap cyborg told shocked locals that it had no money to recharge and begged please help me with electricity fees while nobody's officially claimed responsibility for the bizarre stunt the machine was identified as a unitry g-one humanoid model made by Hangzhou-based Unitree Robots. [02:20:33] Turns out it was a publicity stunt. It was an art project of some sort. What? You mean he's not really a hard-up robot? No, you would think that he was just minding his own business until his job, the poor robot's job, was stolen from him by Jimothy. And then it just got rough. Yeah, no, it turned out to be a scam thing, yeah. Jimothy's stealing all of the robot jobs and clicks. okay let's see here oh this one i haven't read this one yet but it sounds like creepo uh this is another one from cavi here from mystical american patriot society police say man faked down syndrome hired caregivers to change his diapers oh no so this is out of gilbert arizona oh this is an older one this is actually uh from the deep archives i suppose uh Yeah, Gilbert Mann facing felony fraud and sex abuse charges after claiming he had genetic condition and required special care, including diaper changes and assistance bathing. [02:21:39] Yeah, I could see how that would be problematic. I think I actually remember that story. And he got busted for that. That did not work out so well for him. I don't know what he thought a diaper change was going to cost, but... all right we're down to the last one ruckus the last icebreaker that has been unaddressed for tonight are you ready for this here we go what if i say no then i'm gonna make you look at it anyway i probably should have saved batman for last this is mexican batman for last this one Goes a little something like this. Here it goes. Expert issues warning over quote-unquote electro sex trend that men are losing their minds over. [02:22:26] Oh, boy. Wait, who gave me this one again? Oh, I didn't even note who gave me this one. I don't know who dropped this. This is one of your metalhead friends, I'm sure. Let's see. If you've ever accidentally turned yourself on after being mildly electrocuted, then I believe you're in the right place. Well, I'm not in the right place, but hey, maybe someone out there is. Electrosex. also known as erotic electrostimulation or e-stim, is making its way to the mainstream following its popularity in BDSM communities. Good Lord, how old is this one? I need to see a date on this. Okay, this is modern, June, For men, penile electrostimulation involves applying low-voltage electrical currents to the nerves and muscles of the, you know. [02:23:24] Unlike before, eStim can be achieved far more readily with easily available made-for-play devices like conductive silicone. You've got to be kidding me. People are electric. I'm just going to stop right there and say, what the hell? People are electrocuting their dongs. gotta be kidding me oh apparently hasher it helps with when you're like in high altitudes yeah for you professional athletes out there you might want to consider this it says they're also adhesive pads to go on your nuts and insertable toys for inserting places good lord and then they have a list that are electrocuting you yeah What website is this? Who dropped this? [02:24:13] This is from ladbible.com. What the hell? Yeah, that's a well-known media outlet. Oh, here's what I want to know. There actually is a good question in here. What happens if you do it wrong? As you can imagine, electrocuting yourself comes with some risks. Placing pads too high on the body can cause cardiac disruption. Anyone with a heart condition or epilepsy shouldn't try eStim. Other risks include muscle spasms, nerve damage, skin burns. irritation uh temporary numbness or tingling in the junk particularly when using high power settings oh my god whoever dropped this uh that's that's a banger way to sneakily make me end the show on that one goodness gracious i have no comment shocking shocking there you go thanks circus we we do put on an electrifying program here folks i'm sorry that's right this is insane yeah yeah totally And speaking of insanity. [02:25:25] Okay, listen, listen. The robots are replacing everybody. Maybe this is a natural reaction. They're like, I'm going to shock my dong. I don't know. What the hell? It's crazy. Yeah, I guess that's the new way to incel or something, I guess. I really don't know. People are losing their effing mind. we don't know how to handle this they turned off cern trump's lost his mind threw everybody under the bus robots are taking over everybody's job we got jimothy we don't even know what the that is can you blame people for wanting to stick an electrical current up their schlong i don't i can't i guess not i guess not anything goes at this point man All right, we're two and a half hours in. [02:26:05] Let's say we skip the recent insanity topics. We had the In-N-Out Burger shooting. We had Elon touring a Tesla factory with Netanyahu. We have the odd... after action videos and results of the spokane washington fire we've got cyber attacks on water supplies and the big question is trump trying to disarm america we got all that stuff going on but i don't think i want to dive into any of that stuff uh today let's just let's keep this show uh missed icebreakers i think we've covered enough recent insanity as it is just amongst the icebreakers Plus, fun tip, just by dropping news at the headline level makes people feel like they're informed these days. [02:26:49] So, yeah, you're welcome. Yeah, there you go. We'll put some links up for those of you that maybe don't know about these things or want to look into them further. We'll put some breadcrumbs up there for you. yeah let's let's get out of here ruckus it's been great to uh be back and uh do you have a mutant raccoon in the studio or something there you all right i was just checking my notes to make sure there wasn't anything pressing that we should mention and there's definitely uh no of course not yeah i'm sure you and i might be doing something with the sunday wire I might be doing something very near future with our good friend and former colleague, Johnny Vedmore.

I do a lot of the ruckus stuff. So anyways, yeah, check it out there. Thanks for having me, Hesher. It's been a blast, as usual. Read everything, listen to everybody. Don't believe anything unless you prove it for yourself using your own research, according to the wise words of one Milton William Cooper, Bill Cooper. Rest in peace. Ruckus out. There he goes. Thanks, Ruckus. And thank you for joining us tonight. It's been a pleasure to be back. [02:28:03] I really enjoyed everybody's comments in the chat and in the Discord.
