1
00:00:01,829 --> 00:00:05,909
The only thing we have to fear
is fear itself. Unless you live

2
00:00:05,909 --> 00:00:09,569
in good mo nation. time for your
weekly review of our lives as we

3
00:00:09,569 --> 00:00:12,329
live them. Coming to you from
Gitmo nation East in the United

4
00:00:12,329 --> 00:00:13,859
Kingdom. I'm Adam curry.

5
00:00:13,889 --> 00:00:17,549
And I'm John C. Dvorak up here
in Gitmo nation, West northern

6
00:00:17,549 --> 00:00:19,349
Silicon Valley to be exact.

7
00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:21,900
I'm jealous. That doesn't exist.

8
00:00:22,020 --> 00:00:23,310
The place doesn't exist. Yeah.

9
00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:25,680
Yes. I'm sorry. I stepped on
you. You

10
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,070
are John C. Dvorak. Yes. You may
have heard of me.

11
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:32,730
Surely you've heard of me is
what you're supposed to sell.

12
00:00:33,390 --> 00:00:36,120
Is that the line? Yeah, that's
the line. Oh, surely you'd have

13
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,890
heard that heard of me.

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,930
Hey, John, how you doing? Okay.
What is going on in Gitmo

15
00:00:45,930 --> 00:00:49,770
nation? North Carolina? What
have you been following Canada?

16
00:00:50,790 --> 00:00:54,930
All week? Oh, yeah, they're
gonna have a revolution. They

17
00:00:54,930 --> 00:00:58,170
just mind? Yeah, no, it's pretty
funny. They're very upset about

18
00:00:58,170 --> 00:01:00,960
this. I haven't followed it as
closely as I'd like to. I would

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,140
have if I gone up to Washington
this weekend. I wouldn't have

20
00:01:04,140 --> 00:01:07,140
been watching the CBC News and I
wouldn't have have a better

21
00:01:07,140 --> 00:01:10,110
feeling for it. I do not
understand why the Dish Network

22
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:18,570
and DirecTV any even Comcast do
not give us a feed of the CBC.

23
00:01:19,410 --> 00:01:22,590
It just doesn't make any sense
to me. And I mean, the CBC has

24
00:01:22,590 --> 00:01:25,890
got all these great shows. And
it would give us the CBC

25
00:01:25,890 --> 00:01:28,740
national the news, which is
better than our news, by the

26
00:01:28,740 --> 00:01:32,790
way, it's an hour long news
show. That's quite good. And we

27
00:01:32,790 --> 00:01:35,070
could keep up with this. And
people you know, the Canadians

28
00:01:35,070 --> 00:01:37,050
always moaning Oh, you know,
Americans don't even know who

29
00:01:37,050 --> 00:01:40,470
our prime minister is. Well, we
would probably if we had some

30
00:01:40,470 --> 00:01:43,260
opportunities to see what
because they watch our news.

31
00:01:43,770 --> 00:01:44,220
Yeah.

32
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,970
Well, so anyway, the Prime
Minister of Canada what's his

33
00:01:47,970 --> 00:01:53,610
name? Harper I guess they wanted
to kick him out.

34
00:01:54,420 --> 00:01:57,810
Well see they he went there's
this other guy the opposition

35
00:01:57,810 --> 00:02:03,180
candidate Stephane Dion, who's
used to be like kids wish I

36
00:02:03,180 --> 00:02:05,730
could do as an accent of good
enough French I have French

37
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:11,760
accent too two offshore in Accra
to it will not in the Canadian

38
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,600
version is flat it's a weird
accent but anyway they've

39
00:02:15,630 --> 00:02:23,040
figured some way of doing a
coalition to even though the the

40
00:02:23,070 --> 00:02:26,430
partner Harper's party gotten
more votes than ever and a

41
00:02:26,430 --> 00:02:30,420
student you know just solid in
office but these guys have

42
00:02:30,420 --> 00:02:33,720
figured out some some scheme to
actually to

43
00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:37,050
pull together have a coalition
and actually put put Harper in

44
00:02:37,050 --> 00:02:40,500
the opposition. Yeah doused him,
essentially Yeah, put him out

45
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:43,410
and so that so so here's here's
the crazy thing. Here's here's

46
00:02:43,410 --> 00:02:47,820
what blew me away. And it just
goes to show who really runs

47
00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:53,580
Canada. The governor or governor
general I think yeah, Governor

48
00:02:53,580 --> 00:02:59,820
General of the Queen of England.
Yeah. came in and and suspended

49
00:02:59,820 --> 00:03:05,970
parliament. Yeah, I go Wait,
timeout. We're stopping play

50
00:03:05,970 --> 00:03:09,690
boys and girls. The queen
doesn't like what you're doing.

51
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:13,260
I thought Canada was independent
of the Queen. I don't know where

52
00:03:13,260 --> 00:03:15,300
I got this impression. Oh,

53
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:21,660
apparently, in the in the 60s.
They tried to really sever the

54
00:03:21,660 --> 00:03:25,350
ties between the Queen of
England. And it was bring the

55
00:03:25,350 --> 00:03:30,000
Constitution home I think was
the slogan at the time. And I

56
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,730
guess they never wind up doing
it or not ratifying it or

57
00:03:32,730 --> 00:03:33,420
wherever it was,

58
00:03:33,420 --> 00:03:39,210
I think Canadians Oh, shit.
started the process. I thought I

59
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,490
I thought it I thought we did
it.

60
00:03:43,410 --> 00:03:45,210
I didn't do it.

61
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,630
So apparently, so the Canadians
a they've not gotten their act

62
00:03:51,630 --> 00:03:55,740
together. I don't know. i This
is the weirdest thing I've seen

63
00:03:55,740 --> 00:03:57,930
for a while and the Canadians
are all you know in fits about

64
00:03:57,930 --> 00:04:00,780
it. But they have such a they're
so they're, they have such a

65
00:04:00,810 --> 00:04:05,010
culturally such a deeply
ingrained sense of humour, I

66
00:04:05,010 --> 00:04:09,480
think based on their own
history, that they I just have

67
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,060
to see what they're saying at
this hour has 22 minutes, which

68
00:04:12,060 --> 00:04:15,630
is there. You know, yes, there's
satirical shooters. Yeah. And

69
00:04:15,630 --> 00:04:19,020
they have all the you know, the
politicians are always on the

70
00:04:19,020 --> 00:04:23,910
show. In fact, Stephane Dion was
just like a regular you know,

71
00:04:23,910 --> 00:04:27,330
they're always having him on and
he doesn't he plays along I

72
00:04:27,330 --> 00:04:29,730
mean, all these guys play along
it's it's quite a funny show.

73
00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:34,890
Well, it really does blow me
away that this guess this guy is

74
00:04:34,890 --> 00:04:38,520
a part of the shadow government
or whatever. He was gonna get

75
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,270
kicked out in the Queen stops
it. I mean, come on. That's and

76
00:04:42,270 --> 00:04:44,220
the Canadians just sit there and
take it I guess.

77
00:04:44,490 --> 00:04:47,400
I don't know what a good choice
they have. I mean, you know,

78
00:04:48,990 --> 00:04:53,250
what do we strike general
strike, stop, organise, yeah,

79
00:04:53,250 --> 00:04:53,850
angry could

80
00:04:53,849 --> 00:04:57,479
organise that says possible and
they have more stimuli. They

81
00:04:57,479 --> 00:05:03,599
have a kind of a socialist bent.
There. or it would be possible

82
00:05:03,599 --> 00:05:06,299
for them to organise, but you
know, sometimes the socialism

83
00:05:07,619 --> 00:05:12,689
angle is actually prevents you
from really taking action, which

84
00:05:12,689 --> 00:05:14,999
is really the irony of
socialism. I mean, look at the,

85
00:05:15,209 --> 00:05:18,809
the in Russia for example. I
mean they are even in in China

86
00:05:19,409 --> 00:05:23,999
under communist rule. I mean
unions are like for Bolton. So

87
00:05:23,999 --> 00:05:25,109
how does that work?

88
00:05:25,500 --> 00:05:27,630
Yeah, it's, well, that the

89
00:05:28,529 --> 00:05:31,649
means of productions beat down
those union guys.

90
00:05:32,189 --> 00:05:35,069
And it's like, it's socialism.
You wait for the government to

91
00:05:35,069 --> 00:05:36,659
tell you it's time to go
protest?

92
00:05:36,899 --> 00:05:39,959
Yeah, that must be it. They
haven't been told.

93
00:05:41,069 --> 00:05:43,619
Speaking of satirical shows,
man. It's too bad. They don't

94
00:05:43,619 --> 00:05:46,079
have spitting image on anymore
here. Remember that show?

95
00:05:46,110 --> 00:05:50,070
Yeah. You know, that show? They
did that. I love that show. And

96
00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:53,850
that show, they played it in the
US a couple of times, I think on

97
00:05:53,850 --> 00:05:58,080
some PBS stations, very few
members. I think of all the

98
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:03,030
listeners that we have 10 people
have probably seen the show. So

99
00:06:03,060 --> 00:06:06,300
maybe some of the those
Kritische did your two British

100
00:06:06,330 --> 00:06:10,200
Europeans that watch the show?
Anyway, I thought this show was

101
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,440
marvellous. I mean, they they
this guy's made these, what

102
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,980
happened to this team of people
that made these crazy puppets. I

103
00:06:16,980 --> 00:06:17,130
have

104
00:06:17,130 --> 00:06:21,000
no idea. The puppets of course,
were fantastic. But the you

105
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,120
know, the the situations and the
storylines, which are very, very

106
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,190
political, was just awesome.

107
00:06:26,220 --> 00:06:29,130
They when they did it over here,
they did a lot of Americans too.

108
00:06:29,130 --> 00:06:33,060
They had I mean, I remember that
is Reagan was an investor

109
00:06:33,060 --> 00:06:35,550
Stallone, I remember this. Yeah,
Sylvester Stallone

110
00:06:35,550 --> 00:06:38,790
and Jackie Stallone, his mom,
they had a puppet of her. They

111
00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:42,300
had that there was a lot of
Thatcher and Reagan. So if

112
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:43,500
anybody stuck together once

113
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:48,060
a description to these puppets
would look like. They look like

114
00:06:48,090 --> 00:06:53,640
really high end caricatures.
They were not trivial puppets. I

115
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,830
mean, they were there. In fact,
I guess there's probably some

116
00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:58,080
pictures of them on the net
somewhere. I mean, they're

117
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,210
pretty amazing. Yeah, I

118
00:07:00,210 --> 00:07:02,730
don't know if it's a spitting
image or the spitting image. I

119
00:07:02,730 --> 00:07:04,590
can't quite remember. But I
think

120
00:07:04,590 --> 00:07:09,300
it was just spitting image. But
I recall. But anyway, yeah,

121
00:07:09,330 --> 00:07:11,370
that's too bad. This would be
the era to do it.

122
00:07:13,439 --> 00:07:19,019
And oh, kidding. Spitting image.
Yeah, it is spitting image

123
00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:25,799
1984 8890. Day four to 9096 is
when it ran. Oh, yeah. It's all

124
00:07:25,799 --> 00:07:30,749
over Google. You can find it
real easy. There's really no

125
00:07:30,749 --> 00:07:32,219
satirical programmes at all.

126
00:07:32,250 --> 00:07:35,760
Not in the US. There's nothing
about it. Some in the 70s that

127
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,760
he called, that was the week
that was that kind of became

128
00:07:39,750 --> 00:07:42,840
avant garde, and everyone had to
watch it every day. And then

129
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,440
when they had some of the they
had some main mainstream comedy

130
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,840
variety shows, right? In
primetime, when they had the

131
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,440
Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour,
they had laugh in, there was a

132
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,200
whole slew of these kinds of
shows. And they were all you

133
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,930
know, they weren't dead
satirical, like that was the

134
00:07:57,930 --> 00:08:02,700
week that was. But they were you
know, they had some some bite,

135
00:08:02,730 --> 00:08:05,520
especially the Smothers
Brothers. And that which is

136
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,290
being like documented now on PBS
here, like on a weekly basis,

137
00:08:10,290 --> 00:08:14,940
you know, called, there's the
censoring the Smothers Brothers

138
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,390
series of pizza shows
documenting all the censorship

139
00:08:18,390 --> 00:08:24,870
that took place that resulted in
them quitting. And And anyway,

140
00:08:24,870 --> 00:08:27,270
after that, there wasn't
anything now there's nothing

141
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:30,690
except you know, late night TV,
you can watch it. Leno, who's,

142
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,800
you know, not very, I wouldn't
call him a biting satirist. And

143
00:08:35,070 --> 00:08:39,240
certainly, and Letterman who's
funny, but he's got, you know,

144
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,630
and he makes snide remarks about
things. But these guys are weak

145
00:08:42,690 --> 00:08:45,630
by comparison to these these
biting shows of the past.

146
00:08:46,050 --> 00:08:48,660
Yeah, well, stuff like spitting
image. I'm pretty sure that was

147
00:08:48,660 --> 00:08:51,990
a BBC show. Yeah, it was, it was
yeah, there was tonnes of money

148
00:08:51,990 --> 00:08:55,620
for that. And, and the charter
probably was a little bit

149
00:08:55,620 --> 00:08:56,070
different.

150
00:08:56,549 --> 00:08:59,909
But I mean, with this hour has
22 minutes up in Canada, that

151
00:08:59,909 --> 00:09:02,879
which has been a show on
forever. And then there's a

152
00:09:02,879 --> 00:09:07,319
couple of spin offs of it. Those
shows are very political and

153
00:09:07,319 --> 00:09:11,519
interesting. We can't even come
up with something like that. I

154
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:14,999
mean, I think there's nothing. I
mean,

155
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,700
it's just people don't care
anymore. John, I don't care. I

156
00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:17,880
think

157
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:19,950
I blame the school system.

158
00:09:22,380 --> 00:09:23,760
I'm right there with you, my
friend.

159
00:09:24,630 --> 00:09:26,580
That you know, they don't teach
these kids anymore. They teach

160
00:09:26,580 --> 00:09:30,180
them some, some kind of left
wing crap, that's meaningless.

161
00:09:30,180 --> 00:09:32,250
And then the kids are baffled by
because it doesn't make any

162
00:09:32,250 --> 00:09:36,480
sense to him. You know, and then
they don't know if

163
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,500
you give a typical high school
student if you if you give them

164
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:43,560
the newspaper and say, Okay,
what does this mean on the front

165
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:47,100
page? You know, let's say it's a
proper newspaper. They wouldn't

166
00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:49,530
know they wouldn't have the
foggiest idea. Not the

167
00:09:49,530 --> 00:09:52,920
slightest, right. I've always
thought that history lesson

168
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,410
should start with today's
newspaper and then you know,

169
00:09:55,470 --> 00:09:59,250
pick a topic, any topic and then
we're backwards and explain how

170
00:09:59,250 --> 00:10:01,350
it came to be. It's only a
couple 100 years

171
00:10:02,939 --> 00:10:07,829
it's I'm baffled by it myself.
Then you watch it, you know the

172
00:10:08,159 --> 00:10:10,979
Jay Leno doing his jaywalking,
which is probably the only piece

173
00:10:10,979 --> 00:10:14,909
of satire he does, even though
it's by no means satire, it just

174
00:10:14,939 --> 00:10:18,269
becomes satire because of the
public. And he just had battle

175
00:10:18,269 --> 00:10:21,629
of the jaywalking all stars on
the other day. And, you know, it

176
00:10:21,629 --> 00:10:24,389
was like, you know, people
answering in all the questions

177
00:10:24,389 --> 00:10:27,899
were taken from a fourth grade
book, and that us test for

178
00:10:27,899 --> 00:10:30,179
citizenship. And, you know,
these people couldn't answer

179
00:10:30,179 --> 00:10:33,599
anything. They kept missing
identifying photos. You know,

180
00:10:33,629 --> 00:10:36,449
one girl thought everybody was
John F. Kennedy, including

181
00:10:36,449 --> 00:10:42,419
Nixon. And then one of them
thought Alaska was an island.

182
00:10:42,959 --> 00:10:44,639
And it was just amazing.

183
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,050
I really don't like it when they
do that about about Americans.

184
00:10:49,050 --> 00:10:52,080
Because first of all you could
do about any country and however

185
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,110
you edit it, it can always wind
up being funny if you just take

186
00:10:55,110 --> 00:10:56,430
all the people who had the right
answers

187
00:10:56,429 --> 00:11:00,029
out, y'all. Yeah, well, you have
to do that. Yeah, yeah. No, that

188
00:11:00,029 --> 00:11:00,179
but

189
00:11:00,180 --> 00:11:03,360
that's but that's not that's not
satire. That's easy. That's low

190
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,290
hanging fruit,

191
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,870
it well, you know, it started
with the, you know, there's

192
00:11:06,870 --> 00:11:09,600
another group that came down
from Canada and went to heart.

193
00:11:09,780 --> 00:11:12,660
What's interesting about it to
me, and I agree with you, you

194
00:11:12,660 --> 00:11:16,260
can probably go anywhere. I
mean, I'm still stunned by when

195
00:11:16,260 --> 00:11:19,680
you see interviews done on
European television of people

196
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:22,350
and everything that I remember
when the EU was you know, they

197
00:11:22,350 --> 00:11:26,550
took all the barriers between
the countries down so you didn't

198
00:11:26,550 --> 00:11:29,640
need a passport to go from
Germany to France, for example.

199
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,350
And it was interviewing somebody
who was in Germany and they

200
00:11:34,350 --> 00:11:36,540
asked him if they ever been to
Paris, you know, this. Oh, no,

201
00:11:36,540 --> 00:11:38,880
I've never lived my town. You
know, I'm thinking just like an

202
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,860
American. You know, some
Americans never leave their

203
00:11:40,860 --> 00:11:44,280
town. But I'm thinking if I'm in
Germany, and Paris is like a two

204
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,060
hour train ride, what am I doing
sitting around as little Berg?

205
00:11:48,450 --> 00:11:50,760
You know, I mean, I'd be going
to Paris every weekend.

206
00:11:51,330 --> 00:11:54,900
Although the British man there's
a large percentage don't even

207
00:11:54,900 --> 00:11:57,780
have a passport have never ever
been off the island.

208
00:11:58,860 --> 00:12:01,800
Yeah, well, I find that to the
same way up in Port Angeles,

209
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,280
Washington. You know, where they
were right across as an hour

210
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,430
boat ride. You go to Victoria,
Canada, which is an incredibly

211
00:12:08,430 --> 00:12:11,580
Cosmo. Well, it's not because it
is kind of a funky, old

212
00:12:11,580 --> 00:12:15,150
fashioned version of England
cosmopolitan. But it's a

213
00:12:15,150 --> 00:12:19,200
gorgeous little city that's got
all kinds of qualities that just

214
00:12:19,260 --> 00:12:23,370
aren't on in the United States
at all. It's got a small

215
00:12:23,370 --> 00:12:26,580
Chinatown a little theatre
district has got it's like a it

216
00:12:26,580 --> 00:12:30,960
was just interesting. And more
90% of the people that 95% of

217
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,870
the people that live in that
town which is doubled right

218
00:12:33,870 --> 00:12:37,710
away, have never been there and
they don't have any interest in

219
00:12:37,710 --> 00:12:42,960
going you know, you can ask Why
have you ever been to victory

220
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,050
now? I thought about it, you
know, kind of thing. That's the

221
00:12:46,050 --> 00:12:46,440
end of it.

222
00:12:47,429 --> 00:12:48,779
That's the pioneering spirit.

223
00:12:50,460 --> 00:12:54,870
Yeah, I think we have to assume
that most people worldwide are

224
00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:59,070
not interested in floating
around aimlessly.

225
00:13:01,230 --> 00:13:06,180
Meanwhile, in the tiny borough
of Guilford, the Surrey police

226
00:13:06,180 --> 00:13:07,320
shot and killed a guy

227
00:13:07,410 --> 00:13:10,020
oh really shot and killed a guy
that there were no guns in

228
00:13:10,020 --> 00:13:11,700
England. Yeah,

229
00:13:11,730 --> 00:13:15,540
up near the on the steps of the
Guilford cathedral no less

230
00:13:15,569 --> 00:13:17,369
what was he guilty of doing?

231
00:13:18,690 --> 00:13:21,720
looking suspicious and carrying
something that looked like a gun

232
00:13:24,630 --> 00:13:28,050
Yeah, it was kind of shocking
was it was national news here

233
00:13:28,050 --> 00:13:30,720
because Guilford is not the kind
of place he expects something

234
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:37,230
like that to happen the guy was
apparently stressed out. And but

235
00:13:37,230 --> 00:13:40,230
they had choppers after him and
they thought he had a gun and

236
00:13:40,620 --> 00:13:43,650
the shot and killed them. But a
bang.

237
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,680
So what's the what's the
background of this guy that

238
00:13:46,680 --> 00:13:47,520
didn't do any research?

239
00:13:47,550 --> 00:13:50,100
We'll never know. Let's get mo
nation East man. We'll never

240
00:13:50,100 --> 00:13:54,720
know. We'll never find out. And
you're right. You know, this is

241
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,170
the country where the cops have
no guns except in Guilford.

242
00:13:59,250 --> 00:14:03,360
They say they have no gun. Yeah,
really? See these guys armed in

243
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,880
Europe or in England at the
airport. They these guys are

244
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,930
carrying like semi automatic or
semi. These things are probably

245
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:14,610
fully automatically automatic.
You know, ak 40 sevens? No,

246
00:14:14,610 --> 00:14:17,130
they're not a they don't carry
well, they're carrying some sort

247
00:14:17,130 --> 00:14:19,350
of a big looking nasty gun.

248
00:14:20,010 --> 00:14:20,880
V F, G.

249
00:14:22,169 --> 00:14:25,949
G. They're walking around the
airport with them. Have you ever

250
00:14:25,949 --> 00:14:26,129
seen

251
00:14:26,130 --> 00:14:30,360
the arms on those guys? Yeah,
they're big. Yeah, they see they

252
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,330
seem to be from like the same
from the same clan you know,

253
00:14:33,330 --> 00:14:35,970
they've got these humongous
muscles sticking out of short

254
00:14:35,970 --> 00:14:40,260
sleeves and then some form of
incredibly large BFG automatic

255
00:14:40,260 --> 00:14:40,620
weapon.

256
00:14:41,850 --> 00:14:45,660
Yeah. So I'm sure somebody will
write in you guys don't know

257
00:14:45,660 --> 00:14:50,100
your guns and they'll tell us
what they are. But they're nasty

258
00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:54,060
looking. They're all you know,
flat black and look like they're

259
00:14:54,300 --> 00:14:57,960
cocked ready to go. Just in case
you have to like pepper the

260
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,430
place for some reason.

261
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,150
Yeah, it's really it's really
getting bad over here. Man. I

262
00:15:03,150 --> 00:15:07,170
tell you that remember we talked
last week about Damien green,

263
00:15:07,170 --> 00:15:11,370
the minister who they arrested?
Yeah. What's come of that? Well,

264
00:15:11,370 --> 00:15:14,640
the papers have gone nuts
because they did. Really the way

265
00:15:14,670 --> 00:15:19,410
the newspapers here. They're
really important when it comes

266
00:15:19,410 --> 00:15:23,640
to political commentary. So, you
know, they've gone completely

267
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,460
apeshit over particularly the
secretary of, you know, the Home

268
00:15:26,460 --> 00:15:30,060
Secretary, this woman named
Jackie Smith, because, you know,

269
00:15:30,060 --> 00:15:33,060
no one's copping to have known
it. And, you know, she says, no,

270
00:15:33,060 --> 00:15:35,040
no, this was a police
investigation. I had no

271
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,700
knowledge of it, you know, it's,
it's, it's really, really deep.

272
00:15:38,970 --> 00:15:45,570
And what people are writing is,
is scathing, and they're making

273
00:15:45,570 --> 00:15:47,370
all the all the right
comparisons.

274
00:15:50,220 --> 00:15:51,780
To the public doing about it,

275
00:15:52,260 --> 00:15:54,690
nothing sitting at home
watching, I'm a celebrity, get

276
00:15:54,690 --> 00:15:58,830
me out of here, which by the
way, was a fantastic series. I

277
00:15:58,830 --> 00:16:03,510
have learned so much. In none of
this, you know, the premise of

278
00:16:03,510 --> 00:16:06,180
the show, right? They throw 13
or 14 Celebrities into the

279
00:16:06,180 --> 00:16:09,660
jungle for three weeks, and they
have to do all kinds of jungle

280
00:16:09,660 --> 00:16:11,550
trials, including eating live,

281
00:16:11,549 --> 00:16:14,999
and these are celebrities who
are not particularly or who

282
00:16:15,029 --> 00:16:18,329
don't happen to be working as,
as a coincidence.

283
00:16:18,510 --> 00:16:22,080
Well, I'll tell you that. There
were two people, they usually

284
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,560
have some American celebrities
in there as well. And this year,

285
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:31,320
they had George Takei. Who was
Sulu from Star Trek. Yes. Oh,

286
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,970
my. And he's, he's like 7071
years old. He's a tough old

287
00:16:35,970 --> 00:16:39,930
bird. And then Martina
Navratilova.

288
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:49,410
Let's see, I sense a theme. Was
that keep going?

289
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,040
Well, I was just gonna say I
thought it was interesting that

290
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,160
Martina Navratilova was, was in
the show at all. You said what

291
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:01,320
does she like nine or 10 time
Wimbledon champion? You know

292
00:17:01,530 --> 00:17:04,830
what, as it turns out, she she
felt that she was very shy.

293
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,530
She's always been very shy her
entire life. You know, she

294
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,530
really, you know, she goes in,
she's at a party, she'll stand

295
00:17:10,530 --> 00:17:13,080
in the corner. And then people
have to come up to her she

296
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,590
doesn't mingle or anything like
that, by her own admission. And,

297
00:17:16,860 --> 00:17:19,650
and she wanted, and they offered
her and she said yes, you might

298
00:17:19,650 --> 00:17:21,960
as well see if she could stretch
herself to the limits. And you

299
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,920
know what she came across as a
really, really nice lady. Yeah.

300
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:26,460
Seriously.

301
00:17:26,669 --> 00:17:30,539
Very Nice Person pretty well.
She's a great person. Yeah,

302
00:17:30,570 --> 00:17:34,950
she came across as extremely
nice. And Georgia. Kay, I just

303
00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:38,430
love he's funny. Yeah, he's got
a good sense of humour. Yeah,

304
00:17:38,430 --> 00:17:40,710
old Queen of the Jungle. Very
fun as it were.

305
00:17:42,150 --> 00:17:42,720
So

306
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,450
most so that your Republic is
doing?

307
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,730
Yeah, I'm just saying that you
said you learned something that

308
00:17:47,730 --> 00:17:51,000
you just learned that said
Martinez, a nice person and to

309
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:57,120
Kay's funny. Yeah, that's kind
of it. Okay. Yeah, I know that.

310
00:17:57,420 --> 00:17:59,700
You know, the funny thing is, it
turns out that that I think the

311
00:17:59,730 --> 00:18:03,510
Bush administration prove this
to that, you know, the people in

312
00:18:03,510 --> 00:18:06,750
power can pretty much do
anything they want. And you

313
00:18:06,750 --> 00:18:10,260
really must have to push people
to an extreme limit. I mean, I

314
00:18:10,260 --> 00:18:13,080
can't imagine how the Russian
Revolution or the French

315
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,040
Revolution, or anything, I mean,
I can see how the US revolution

316
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:22,290
kind of became, you know, it
just kind of developed. But, you

317
00:18:22,290 --> 00:18:25,800
know, nobody ever drove the
Canadians to revolt. But the

318
00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:30,120
people who revolted big time
must have been an amazing amount

319
00:18:30,150 --> 00:18:32,130
of stress. I mean,

320
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:36,780
it's interesting, you bring that
up, because last night was and

321
00:18:36,780 --> 00:18:40,830
I've recorded both episodes for
you. And there's a couple more

322
00:18:40,830 --> 00:18:43,230
coming and I have them recorded,
I just got to figure out how to

323
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:47,040
get on the DVD as a channel for
programme here called the ascent

324
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,850
of money. And, and they actually
explain how the French

325
00:18:50,850 --> 00:18:54,780
Revolution took place. And it
was a situation extremely

326
00:18:54,780 --> 00:18:58,050
similar to what's going on in
the United States right now.

327
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:05,760
Where a guy named John Law, who
was a Scotsman, who lived in

328
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,590
Amsterdam in in the late 1600s,
early 1700s, as he was he was

329
00:19:10,590 --> 00:19:13,230
like a gambler and got kicked
out of out of Scotland,

330
00:19:13,230 --> 00:19:17,970
whatever. And he witnessed the
East India Company being formed,

331
00:19:17,970 --> 00:19:22,020
which was really the first
company that had shares and, and

332
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,020
subsequently, were traded on the
first what we would call the

333
00:19:25,020 --> 00:19:30,060
stock market, all in Amsterdam.
And he studied this for a year

334
00:19:30,060 --> 00:19:33,990
or two, and then he went to
Paris, and he started the first

335
00:19:34,410 --> 00:19:37,830
for all intents purposes of
French central bank issued

336
00:19:37,830 --> 00:19:43,140
shares and, and essentially
just, you know, did what the

337
00:19:43,140 --> 00:19:46,860
Federal Reserve has done in the
past, you know, 80 years or

338
00:19:46,860 --> 00:19:50,790
whatever, he just was printing
up more shares selling him and

339
00:19:50,820 --> 00:19:56,010
he owned like half of Paris, he
fucking everything. And he, it

340
00:19:56,010 --> 00:19:59,190
just became a bubble. And
everyone was in on it. Everyone

341
00:19:59,190 --> 00:20:02,130
had shares in the back bank and
all of a sudden there was like,

342
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,190
you know, nervousness or
whatever that just entered the

343
00:20:05,190 --> 00:20:07,560
market the way these things do.
That's more your area when it

344
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,280
comes cycle

345
00:20:08,550 --> 00:20:13,290
and the collapse of the East
Indian trading company falls

346
00:20:13,290 --> 00:20:15,660
right onto one of the cycle
numbers right on the money.

347
00:20:15,660 --> 00:20:17,250
Exactly. So exactly.

348
00:20:17,460 --> 00:20:20,430
And it was funny because I was
watching this documentary, which

349
00:20:20,430 --> 00:20:23,610
I think you'll enjoy it was,
well, a lot different from the

350
00:20:23,610 --> 00:20:25,500
things you might find on the
internet, you know about the

351
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:27,150
money masters and all that.
Yeah, well,

352
00:20:27,749 --> 00:20:31,619
this is a piece of crap from my
looking at over didn't check and

353
00:20:31,619 --> 00:20:34,949
document documenting some of
their claims. But but let's go.

354
00:20:35,609 --> 00:20:40,529
Let's stop right here. And let
me tell you one thing, straight

355
00:20:40,529 --> 00:20:43,739
up, get a DVD recorder, you will
not

356
00:20:43,740 --> 00:20:46,950
have one. I have one. I have
one. That's what do you mean?

357
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,970
Because I've got to connect the
skybox because I recorded it on

358
00:20:50,970 --> 00:20:54,510
the skybox because it's like
season pass like a TiVo

359
00:20:54,510 --> 00:20:57,960
automatic record. Yeah. And so I
can output it. I just have to

360
00:20:57,990 --> 00:21:01,470
output it and reroute it to the
DVD recorder. I have one I got

361
00:21:01,470 --> 00:21:05,100
one upon your recommendation. I
hope by the way that it isn't

362
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:06,300
different regenerate? No,

363
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:09,750
no, no, they did they use zero
on these things.

364
00:21:10,289 --> 00:21:13,199
Well, good. So I got it. So
you're, I'm gonna hook you up.

365
00:21:13,229 --> 00:21:13,649
Okay.

366
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,310
Yeah, if you have their you
know, my experience, generally

367
00:21:17,310 --> 00:21:20,760
speaking with with equipment
like this, if you buy the DVD D

368
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,840
recording, you actually have to
connect it to something for it

369
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:25,530
to be useful.

370
00:21:25,770 --> 00:21:30,720
Yeah, thanks. No. Thanks, John.
I'll take your advice. I

371
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,580
appreciate it. But anyway, it
was you're gonna talk about the

372
00:21:35,610 --> 00:21:37,890
collapse of the East India
Company on the cycle?

373
00:21:38,759 --> 00:21:41,189
Yeah, there's I don't have in
front of me. But did it fell

374
00:21:41,189 --> 00:21:44,459
rich, just like a classic year.
I mean, it's just bang, boom,

375
00:21:44,459 --> 00:21:45,389
you know, there it is.

376
00:21:47,190 --> 00:21:49,470
And I forget, but that but that
in all, for all intents and

377
00:21:49,470 --> 00:21:55,590
purposes was that collapse in
France, of the of John loss

378
00:21:55,650 --> 00:21:59,580
Central Bank, the collapse of
the shares, and they were the

379
00:21:59,580 --> 00:22:01,680
only shares that were being
traded. And it was, it was like

380
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,830
any classic boom, and everybody
had had their stock, and then

381
00:22:04,830 --> 00:22:07,830
you know, just it came flying
back. And then they, you know,

382
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,150
the price went from like, 9000,
florins to 5000. In one day,

383
00:22:12,540 --> 00:22:15,600
like this. Now we're looking to
let's start about our thing, the

384
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,980
price of oil is now 40. Isn't
that unbelievable? So anyway, I

385
00:22:19,980 --> 00:22:22,770
got out of my, you know, I
bought into the double short,

386
00:22:22,770 --> 00:22:27,180
and you know, and Etn? No, yeah,
the Etn. And which, by the way,

387
00:22:27,180 --> 00:22:32,280
Andrew and I are going to do a
special discount, for for sure,

388
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,790
we're going to charge for it on
ETFs and etns. For people that

389
00:22:35,820 --> 00:22:39,090
need to get catch up to this
because this thing is these ETFs

390
00:22:39,090 --> 00:22:43,440
in particular are just on fire
in terms of the popularity. But

391
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:49,110
anyway, so I got out of my Etn
at, I think I got out about 120

392
00:22:49,110 --> 00:22:52,740
or so. And he went up another 15
Point cents, which is I don't

393
00:22:52,740 --> 00:22:55,110
know what I mean, I was thinking
that oil is gonna hit 50. And it

394
00:22:55,110 --> 00:22:57,330
was gonna maybe settled in a
little bit, and it dropped

395
00:22:57,330 --> 00:23:01,050
another 10 Boom, was probably
the guy who was the head of Iran

396
00:23:01,140 --> 00:23:05,400
publicly says he, they're
budgeting for oil at 30 Yeah,

397
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:05,790
and

398
00:23:05,820 --> 00:23:10,320
I'm hearing that gas in a year
from now actual gas at the pump

399
00:23:10,350 --> 00:23:12,390
could be as low as $1 Yeah,

400
00:23:12,420 --> 00:23:15,840
I find that hard to believe
because, you know, we're settled

401
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,680
in at a Deronda $2 range has
already hit, you know, around

402
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,900
here, I can get premium for
under $2 that just hit me I just

403
00:23:24,900 --> 00:23:28,530
bought something at at 201 and I
saw it at 199 and I suspect it

404
00:23:28,530 --> 00:23:32,460
might get down to 151 60 which
is you know, which, which will

405
00:23:32,460 --> 00:23:34,410
crank the economy up because
people don't realise that the

406
00:23:34,410 --> 00:23:37,830
price of energy has a lot to do
with you know, the economic well

407
00:23:37,830 --> 00:23:41,340
being of a country and because
you know, the energy just like

408
00:23:41,340 --> 00:23:45,210
if it's cheap, its energy. I
mean, it results in direct

409
00:23:45,210 --> 00:23:46,590
production of products and
whatever

410
00:23:46,620 --> 00:23:51,030
energy is that's the basis of
everything. Yeah. So the every

411
00:23:51,030 --> 00:23:53,430
single thing in our lives is all
based on energy. So I'm

412
00:23:53,430 --> 00:23:56,820
looking at my DTO as after I
leave it and I'm and here's the

413
00:23:56,820 --> 00:24:02,340
key I did some more research
than usual and you know, as

414
00:24:02,340 --> 00:24:04,620
opposed to my normal research
was just talking to you and then

415
00:24:04,620 --> 00:24:05,460
making a decision

416
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:08,310
that's the way to go.

417
00:24:08,370 --> 00:24:12,720
So what was the what was the
name of that? That brokerage a

418
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:18,000
banker? guy starts with a G
that's like Goldman Sachs,

419
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,480
Goldman Sachs at Goldman Sachs B
when they said something about

420
00:24:21,510 --> 00:24:26,250
oil is gonna go to 200. Who do
you think the largest single

421
00:24:26,250 --> 00:24:31,530
holder of the Exchange Traded
note? Double short oil is?

422
00:24:32,009 --> 00:24:35,969
Yeah, well, there's that's
that's, that's what they do.

423
00:24:35,969 --> 00:24:38,459
They they by the opposite
direction. They come up with a

424
00:24:38,459 --> 00:24:42,419
recommendation, all the suckers
I learned that the second day I

425
00:24:42,419 --> 00:24:46,139
had my level two trading screen.
I was reading research. I'm

426
00:24:46,139 --> 00:24:48,629
like, oh, yeah, this is good.
I'll invest in that. And then

427
00:24:48,689 --> 00:24:52,619
Oh, my God, fuck like, Huh. And
then immediately, this is a

428
00:24:52,619 --> 00:24:55,229
stupid game. You know, if you're
not on the inside, you can never

429
00:24:55,229 --> 00:24:55,559
win.

430
00:24:55,830 --> 00:24:58,980
Well, I learned this long time
ago, too. I didn't really know

431
00:24:58,980 --> 00:25:02,580
what I was gonna be so Blake And
but I mean these guys are just

432
00:25:02,580 --> 00:25:06,540
ridiculous CNBC is in on the
whole game well, somebody there

433
00:25:06,540 --> 00:25:09,660
is so anyway the but I learned
years and years ago because you

434
00:25:09,660 --> 00:25:13,740
I would always I remember there
was a there during a boom of

435
00:25:13,740 --> 00:25:19,410
some time back 40 years ago
there was this company that was

436
00:25:19,410 --> 00:25:23,190
being touted by Merrill Lynch
who was always the one company

437
00:25:23,190 --> 00:25:25,650
every time they were like really
pushing something I was very

438
00:25:25,650 --> 00:25:28,770
sceptical. They were pushing
this company called Sterling

439
00:25:28,770 --> 00:25:33,720
home X and Sterling home x is
this company that was one there

440
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,480
was an era in the United States
where everybody everything was

441
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,830
gonna go prefab remember that
housing you know that was a it

442
00:25:40,830 --> 00:25:44,550
was like a boom a boom let of
prefabs we're gonna manufacture

443
00:25:44,550 --> 00:25:48,000
all our houses and factories.
And that was it called Sterling

444
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:54,330
once Sterling home x i think is
STI R la ng dash home X. And

445
00:25:54,360 --> 00:25:57,000
Merrill was pushing this stock
like there was no tomorrow

446
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,820
people were bloated up with it.
And then of course, the company

447
00:25:59,850 --> 00:26:05,100
goes bankrupt about two weeks
later, or a couple months later,

448
00:26:05,100 --> 00:26:07,140
and it was just like, wait a
minute, weren't you and then it

449
00:26:07,140 --> 00:26:09,300
turns out that those guys were
you know, on the other side of

450
00:26:09,300 --> 00:26:11,430
the deal. They were out

451
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,760
Yeah, you know, I got a friend
he said,

452
00:26:14,910 --> 00:26:18,540
Where's the SEC with these
scams? Where's the SEC with

453
00:26:18,660 --> 00:26:22,260
Goldman Sachs telling everyone
that oil is gonna go to 200

454
00:26:22,380 --> 00:26:23,460
while being short?

455
00:26:23,910 --> 00:26:27,390
Well, dude, they haven't even
taken anyone to task over the

456
00:26:27,420 --> 00:26:30,360
over the ratings agencies like
Moody's, you know that? Oh, we

457
00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:33,180
have a software fault for two
years. I mean, there's no

458
00:26:33,180 --> 00:26:35,850
there's no oversight and a doing
anything. They're all in on the

459
00:26:35,940 --> 00:26:37,710
on the game. Meanwhile,

460
00:26:38,310 --> 00:26:41,280
Martha Stewart goes to jail. The
jail.

461
00:26:41,310 --> 00:26:45,120
Exactly, exactly. And they shoot
an innocent guy on the Guilford

462
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:46,170
cathedral steps.

463
00:26:46,410 --> 00:26:48,960
And I guess now they're going
after Mark Cuban for something.

464
00:26:49,950 --> 00:26:50,250
Well, we

465
00:26:50,250 --> 00:26:51,690
talked about that two weeks ago.
Yeah, I

466
00:26:51,690 --> 00:26:53,730
know. I've been bringing it up.
People are fascinated by your

467
00:26:53,730 --> 00:26:54,270
theory.

468
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,760
Oh, about smartest guys in the
room. No, no, about not so about

469
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,670
loose change. Oh, that's what it
was. Yeah. Was it loose change?

470
00:27:03,060 --> 00:27:07,260
And 911 loose change the second
edition or final edit or

471
00:27:07,260 --> 00:27:11,310
whatever the one that Sheen was?
Did he actually ever wind up

472
00:27:11,310 --> 00:27:12,720
doing the voiceover? I thought
he did? I

473
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:17,880
don't know. I don't watch that
stuff. No, I'm, I'm,

474
00:27:18,030 --> 00:27:20,700
I'm pretty wary of what's going
on. I think right now, you know,

475
00:27:20,700 --> 00:27:24,840
now that we have the bailout is
now up to $8.4 trillion, which

476
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:30,900
has been lent spent or otherwise
disposed of given away. Yeah,

477
00:27:30,930 --> 00:27:34,500
I'm pretty sure that this is,
this is just keeping it afloat

478
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:39,330
until Obama comes in then. Boom.
He's just gonna drop it all.

479
00:27:39,810 --> 00:27:42,150
Because he's the he's the right
guy to convey the message,

480
00:27:42,150 --> 00:27:45,750
whatever it is, which I presume
is going to be, you know, some

481
00:27:45,750 --> 00:27:47,670
change in them on all your bases
along

482
00:27:47,670 --> 00:27:48,270
to us.

483
00:27:48,900 --> 00:27:51,150
Yeah, for real well, you know,
well, here's what's happening in

484
00:27:51,150 --> 00:27:53,910
Europe. This is a very
interesting way of tackling the

485
00:27:53,910 --> 00:27:57,420
bailout and I think this is even
funnier people are are jumping

486
00:27:57,420 --> 00:28:03,060
into this headfirst. So Gordon
Brown has proposed it and cost

487
00:28:03,330 --> 00:28:07,410
the UK 1 billion pounds in
Italy, they're already doing it.

488
00:28:08,940 --> 00:28:12,840
What they're offering to
homeowners is okay, you pay a

489
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:17,880
set rate so maybe 4% on your
mortgage and you don't have to

490
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,680
pay whatever the difference is
of your arm going up your

491
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,770
adjustable rate mortgage for you
know, like a period of anywhere

492
00:28:25,770 --> 00:28:28,530
from six months to two years and
then of course you get a balloon

493
00:28:28,530 --> 00:28:31,050
payment at the end of that the
Yeah, you have to pay the piper

494
00:28:31,050 --> 00:28:31,620
somewhere right

495
00:28:31,620 --> 00:28:35,760
you know, I had a sense that
they that this whole thing took

496
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,690
place prematurely you know this
collapse I thought they you know

497
00:28:39,690 --> 00:28:41,160
they wanted to I think that

498
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:47,160
No, I disagree I disagree it's
exactly on time What mess what

499
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,000
they mess up was the Lisbon
treaty that was supposed to be

500
00:28:51,030 --> 00:28:55,170
in effect as of October so that
they could do all this financial

501
00:28:55,170 --> 00:28:57,960
mumbo jumbo and now what these
guys are talking about is

502
00:28:58,020 --> 00:29:03,060
they're operating under the
Lisbon principles Don't you love

503
00:29:03,060 --> 00:29:05,850
it? Yes. Well, we have to
approach this under the Lisbon

504
00:29:05,850 --> 00:29:09,150
principle so completely not
ratified because Ireland said

505
00:29:09,150 --> 00:29:12,870
no, all it is is a legal
document for this and in the way

506
00:29:12,870 --> 00:29:16,260
that we're freaking out about it
I'm convinced John this was you

507
00:29:16,260 --> 00:29:19,020
know, the timing is perfect but
Europe wasn't ready for it yet

508
00:29:19,020 --> 00:29:20,940
because they didn't have the
Lisbon Treaty in place.

509
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,020
So what do you think the end
result is going to be because it

510
00:29:25,020 --> 00:29:28,620
seems to me that you know, I was
talking about depressions this I

511
00:29:28,620 --> 00:29:30,870
don't think this is leading to
one I think this is gonna put it

512
00:29:30,870 --> 00:29:34,950
off hopefully so I have my
cycles thing fall right into

513
00:29:34,950 --> 00:29:41,910
place not that I want to see a
depression anyway the main

514
00:29:41,940 --> 00:29:43,740
there's what you're asking
you're asking a question I'm

515
00:29:43,740 --> 00:29:46,320
totally convinced still that
there's get we're gonna have a

516
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,650
boom and then LM watching guide
the Kramer you know you've

517
00:29:49,650 --> 00:29:52,800
received Jim Cramer Of course
it'll create a man Oh, watching

518
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,370
that much because he makes me
shake. And so you know, I think

519
00:29:56,370 --> 00:29:58,440
I'm thinking I always look at
the coffee and thinking it's a

520
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,480
coffee. I'm drinking too much
coffee in there. realise that

521
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,870
this guy's got, you know, he's
just the way he is wire, wire.

522
00:30:03,870 --> 00:30:07,140
So he's, he made a couple of
interesting comments, he

523
00:30:07,140 --> 00:30:10,380
actually predicted, he took back
a bunch of his stuff that he

524
00:30:10,380 --> 00:30:13,680
said before, which he does
commonly. And then he said, and

525
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,170
he used and in fact, they
recorded I should have sent it

526
00:30:16,170 --> 00:30:19,350
over to you, you could have
played it a couple of moments

527
00:30:19,350 --> 00:30:21,300
where he says, and then you
know, what this means is when

528
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,000
Obama comes in, there's gonna be
a boom. And he said, use the

529
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,800
word boom, which is what I've
been thinking to, but this time,

530
00:30:28,830 --> 00:30:31,230
you know, this boom will lead to
a bust, and then they when the

531
00:30:31,230 --> 00:30:38,130
bust happens, the real bust? You
end up with no, all this money

532
00:30:38,130 --> 00:30:40,710
that David thrown into the
system, you're the 8 trillion,

533
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,680
there's no, there's nothing
left. I mean, now you can do is

534
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:44,220
just that a

535
00:30:44,220 --> 00:30:47,670
trillion wasn't even there.
That's okay. It's gonna give you

536
00:30:47,670 --> 00:30:52,350
my opinion. Here's what's going
to happen. First of all, there's

537
00:30:52,350 --> 00:30:55,890
a lot of rumblings now about the
way that 8.4 trillion is going

538
00:30:55,890 --> 00:30:58,860
to be paid for is through a
value added tax the United

539
00:30:58,860 --> 00:31:00,600
States, I think that's highly
feasible.

540
00:31:01,529 --> 00:31:03,329
We I haven't heard that much
here.

541
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,070
So it's a it's it's a rumour on
the interwebs. Oh, look, the

542
00:31:08,070 --> 00:31:12,210
rest of the world does it? Yeah,
yeah, we've got 17% in the

543
00:31:12,210 --> 00:31:16,830
United Kingdom 19%. In most
European countries, Belgium 21%

544
00:31:16,890 --> 00:31:21,150
Value Added Tax. So that would
be one way to get it back. But I

545
00:31:21,150 --> 00:31:23,790
don't think that I'm not I don't
see a boom happening. I you

546
00:31:23,790 --> 00:31:29,100
know, what's happening right now
is, you know, because of the

547
00:31:29,100 --> 00:31:33,870
lack of, of credit facilities,
farmers can't get loans to buy

548
00:31:33,870 --> 00:31:36,300
fertiliser, you know, we're
gonna have a supply problem.

549
00:31:36,390 --> 00:31:38,970
There's just no doubt about it.
There's going to be some

550
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,550
essential support supply
problem, I think when it comes

551
00:31:41,550 --> 00:31:47,100
to food. And the dollar, you
know, there's no, there's no,

552
00:31:47,130 --> 00:31:50,640
there's no faith in it, that's
there, keep propping that up,

553
00:31:50,850 --> 00:31:54,330
then when Obama is sworn in,
boom, they'll drop it like a hot

554
00:31:54,330 --> 00:31:58,170
potato, no more propping up with
$1. And that's when the new the

555
00:31:58,170 --> 00:32:02,550
new money system will come into
play. And it may even be called

556
00:32:02,550 --> 00:32:04,680
something else. But we will
certainly have a different

557
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,710
reserve currency. And I'm pretty
sure it's going to involve

558
00:32:07,710 --> 00:32:09,240
carbon one way or the other.

559
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,000
Well, the carbon thing is
hopefully going to be dropped.

560
00:32:13,050 --> 00:32:16,650
To date. No, we're here for your
crock pot prediction.

561
00:32:19,530 --> 00:32:23,760
It's not that much of a crack.
But once again, what is it

562
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:28,560
there's rumours now about? About
the United Kingdom going to the

563
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,070
going to the euro? But if they
wait any longer, the pound will

564
00:32:32,070 --> 00:32:33,450
be equal to a euro? They

565
00:32:34,140 --> 00:32:36,690
don't worry about it. Yeah,
well, that's

566
00:32:36,690 --> 00:32:44,280
the whole point. No, I'm I see.
I seen bad times ahead. Yeah.

567
00:32:44,940 --> 00:32:46,830
Yeah, I see really, really dark.

568
00:32:46,830 --> 00:32:49,680
That's when that's the way he
that's the way that's a typical

569
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:56,190
public attitude. At the bottom.
You're at the bottom, we're at

570
00:32:56,190 --> 00:32:59,670
the we're at. We're at the
bottom, we're at the bottom,

571
00:32:59,670 --> 00:33:04,740
this is the bottom, this is what
the bottom feels like. And it

572
00:33:04,740 --> 00:33:07,470
always brings up this gloom and
doom thing. And so when things

573
00:33:07,470 --> 00:33:09,360
start to pick up, you say, Well,
I guess I was wrong, and then

574
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:13,140
you'd you'll jump in at the
wrong time during the boom. And

575
00:33:13,140 --> 00:33:15,030
then that's when they that's
when they pulled the rug out

576
00:33:15,060 --> 00:33:18,060
from under everybody. And they
did to the public has to be

577
00:33:18,060 --> 00:33:20,580
involved. I mean, the public has
to take it up to shorts. That's

578
00:33:20,580 --> 00:33:23,400
the way it always works. And,
you know, the, in this

579
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,740
situation, there's banks and all
this other stuff the public is,

580
00:33:26,190 --> 00:33:28,800
you know, and so far has been
taxpayers are concerned had been

581
00:33:28,830 --> 00:33:31,680
getting screwed, but we don't
have the real sense of being

582
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:36,240
personally screwed over. Which
is really necessary to really do

583
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:36,810
this. Right.

584
00:33:37,110 --> 00:33:39,630
Well, what are you talking
about? Of course, people are

585
00:33:39,630 --> 00:33:43,620
screwed over the 401 k's are
hoes that getting kicked out of

586
00:33:43,620 --> 00:33:47,190
their homes? What do you mean,
the public is very much? Oh, no.

587
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,140
I mean, the number of people
that are getting kicked out of

588
00:33:49,140 --> 00:33:52,200
their homes as minimal as played
up a lot in the media. And

589
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,630
there's a lot of houses for sale
that have never really, you

590
00:33:54,630 --> 00:33:57,330
know, there's a whole
development up north of me here

591
00:33:57,630 --> 00:34:00,510
that was built out and then just
before they were going to start

592
00:34:00,510 --> 00:34:02,880
selling them, the whole thing
collapsed. And now they're

593
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,610
trying to give these places
away. But the problem is, is

594
00:34:05,610 --> 00:34:07,980
nobody's moving into starting to
deteriorate. It's kind of

595
00:34:07,980 --> 00:34:10,620
interesting to watch something
like this go downhill, because

596
00:34:10,620 --> 00:34:14,310
they can't maintain it. So now
weeds are growing everywhere.

597
00:34:14,310 --> 00:34:14,970
And you know,

598
00:34:15,389 --> 00:34:21,059
I saw a documentary on on that.
There are companies now that

599
00:34:22,409 --> 00:34:26,699
that go around all these houses
and they you know, I guess the

600
00:34:26,699 --> 00:34:29,669
bank hires him, and they drain
the swimming pools that have

601
00:34:29,669 --> 00:34:33,239
become you know, cesspools of
mosquitoes, they they paint the

602
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:34,559
lawns. In some cases,

603
00:34:34,559 --> 00:34:38,279
they paint the lawns green. Now,
that way, when you fly over, it

604
00:34:38,279 --> 00:34:38,789
doesn't look you

605
00:34:38,849 --> 00:34:41,189
know, when you drive by you
can't tell it's like, Oh, that's

606
00:34:41,189 --> 00:34:41,489
nice.

607
00:34:43,949 --> 00:34:47,069
That's the dirt green. They
probably did. It's actually not

608
00:34:47,069 --> 00:34:49,709
a bad idea if you can get some
kind of paint or some sort of

609
00:34:49,739 --> 00:34:53,549
substance that you can spray on
dirt. That would also have like

610
00:34:53,549 --> 00:34:56,219
a weed killer and so you don't
have the weeds popping through

611
00:34:56,219 --> 00:34:59,069
this stuff. That's not a bad
thought. I like it. I wonder

612
00:34:59,069 --> 00:35:01,499
what the maybes Somebody out
there knows about this if that's

613
00:35:01,829 --> 00:35:03,959
you know how they're doing this
because that's not a bad idea

614
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,090
anyway I have in my notes that
after a new president was

615
00:35:09,090 --> 00:35:11,250
elected the stock market
supposed to go crazy in a

616
00:35:11,250 --> 00:35:13,860
positive way that was your
prediction which is not taking

617
00:35:13,860 --> 00:35:14,340
place

618
00:35:14,940 --> 00:35:17,970
it's not no and when he gets in
he has to be in

619
00:35:19,350 --> 00:35:23,190
Okay. Boy, are you going to be
disappointed?

620
00:35:23,850 --> 00:35:27,930
I don't think so. I think it the
day gets in this thing is going

621
00:35:27,930 --> 00:35:28,770
to start to move

622
00:35:30,330 --> 00:35:34,590
the fundamentals aren't there
John fundamentals we anything we

623
00:35:34,590 --> 00:35:39,150
haven't as a country America has
already had a $10 trillion debt

624
00:35:39,180 --> 00:35:44,490
in four months it's almost
doubled. Yeah, China is not

625
00:35:44,490 --> 00:35:47,250
going to lend us any more money
they've lost billions

626
00:35:49,199 --> 00:35:52,619
I'm just telling you we'll wait
and see till January and then

627
00:35:52,979 --> 00:35:56,339
I'll get to like did I you know,
I know No, no, I think was

628
00:35:56,339 --> 00:35:56,819
saying

629
00:35:56,850 --> 00:36:00,780
no, no, no. Pakistan and India
have something to do with the

630
00:36:00,780 --> 00:36:06,150
strategy Well, there's the
there's something and and that

631
00:36:06,150 --> 00:36:12,840
would be mainly because doesn't
the sort of the Chinese have a

632
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:18,090
pact with Pakistan? I think
they've been pretty their

633
00:36:18,090 --> 00:36:19,560
neighbours first of all, but
they've

634
00:36:19,980 --> 00:36:23,550
been the Russians have a pact
with the India and they were

635
00:36:23,550 --> 00:36:26,370
selling him the latest news
they're selling and Russia have

636
00:36:27,630 --> 00:36:33,480
nuclear reactors and for power
and

637
00:36:33,510 --> 00:36:36,420
what does Pakistan have does
Pakistan have any anything in

638
00:36:36,420 --> 00:36:36,990
the ground?

639
00:36:37,830 --> 00:36:46,530
No, I mean oil. Yeah. So I think
ended on you know, hard labour

640
00:36:46,530 --> 00:36:50,670
to do what they do I don't know.
I do know this by the way just

641
00:36:50,670 --> 00:36:56,370
as an aside if you buy basmati
rice by the Pakistani ones as

642
00:36:56,370 --> 00:37:00,960
opposed to the Indian ones, it's
just a cleaner product by timing

643
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:05,190
by five washings at least
really? Yeah. Well, they have

644
00:37:05,190 --> 00:37:10,980
these Muslim cleanliness laws in
the food business. And so they

645
00:37:10,980 --> 00:37:13,410
don't let you know they just
they're not as careless as the

646
00:37:13,410 --> 00:37:16,650
Hindus No offence to the Hindus
out there but the rice that I

647
00:37:16,650 --> 00:37:18,930
mean this is just like the
stores we have over here there's

648
00:37:18,930 --> 00:37:21,450
a couple of Hindu stores and a
couple of Pakistani stores and

649
00:37:21,450 --> 00:37:24,900
this Pakistani stores are
generally cleaner even though

650
00:37:24,900 --> 00:37:30,750
they tend to scowl scowl at
Yeah, but the rice with the rice

651
00:37:30,750 --> 00:37:34,500
we're not generalising at all no
the rice but the rice is what

652
00:37:34,500 --> 00:37:37,620
you get the use of basmati rice
which is the which of course

653
00:37:37,620 --> 00:37:40,860
takes a special technique to
cook which people don't seem to

654
00:37:40,860 --> 00:37:45,330
understand. Well I'll document
this document it's boiled it's a

655
00:37:45,330 --> 00:37:47,760
boiled rice it's not it's not
like a Chinese rice where you

656
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:51,690
would like typically with rice
you Chinese style cooking rice

657
00:37:51,690 --> 00:37:55,260
take a long grain rice and you
put like a cup of rice and one

658
00:37:55,260 --> 00:37:59,130
and a half to two cups of water
and then you slowly boil it and

659
00:37:59,340 --> 00:38:02,520
then the water all the water in
the pot sucks into the rice

660
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:07,380
there's no water left and the
Pakistani or I'm sorry the

661
00:38:07,380 --> 00:38:12,360
basmati style rice which is a
different rice altogether. Which

662
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,480
is more fragrant, it's a very
different rice is boiled. So you

663
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,420
take a cup of rice in and you
put it in like a gallon and a

664
00:38:18,420 --> 00:38:21,240
half or two gallons of water and
you boil the crap out of it

665
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:24,600
until it's just just one second
away it's like gets the oil

666
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,900
dented just a little bit almost
finished but not quite. And then

667
00:38:27,900 --> 00:38:32,760
you dump the water out down the
drain and then you by the way

668
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,880
the rice has to be washed two or
three times before you cook it

669
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:39,900
and then soaked for like 15 or
20 minutes. Only the soaking I

670
00:38:39,900 --> 00:38:42,720
think is optional, but the
argument is that it keeps the

671
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:46,560
grains from breaking when it's
been cooked. But anyway, so then

672
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,380
you dump the water out and then
you put the rice back in the pot

673
00:38:49,620 --> 00:38:53,730
and then you cover it with a
towel and then you let it steam

674
00:38:54,210 --> 00:38:59,010
to completion and then it'll be
it's the most perfect rice there

675
00:38:59,010 --> 00:39:02,850
is it's unbelievable and then
that technique is just like was

676
00:39:02,850 --> 00:39:08,760
I think derided as boiled rice
some data no during the War

677
00:39:08,790 --> 00:39:13,110
World War One and so nobody
who's no Americans and I can

678
00:39:13,110 --> 00:39:17,160
guarantee no French people know
how to use this technique to

679
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,370
cook rice and that's the way you
cook basmati rice.

680
00:39:20,730 --> 00:39:24,180
Have You Ever Have you ever had
Indonesian rice tafel

681
00:39:24,659 --> 00:39:25,379
yeah I have

682
00:39:26,790 --> 00:39:29,310
because the the rice you
described there sounded a bit

683
00:39:29,310 --> 00:39:30,660
like like that it

684
00:39:30,660 --> 00:39:34,890
could be I mean, I don't know I
never asked but I first picked

685
00:39:34,890 --> 00:39:37,680
up this recipe from when I went
to we went to this by the way

686
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,950
and then while it's steaming
under the towel, you can put

687
00:39:40,950 --> 00:39:43,410
some butter in it and then let
the butter kind of melt and and

688
00:39:43,410 --> 00:39:47,130
you stir it in gently afterwards
and it's you generally get it so

689
00:39:47,130 --> 00:39:50,460
that almost a grains are almost
individual. So if you could like

690
00:39:50,460 --> 00:39:53,040
lifted up with a fork and all
these pieces perfectly cooked

691
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,070
would just fall you know all
over the place. You've made me

692
00:39:56,070 --> 00:39:59,250
hungry now it's delicious. I
think there's no rice I don't

693
00:39:59,250 --> 00:40:02,580
even buy anything Quick, the
whole process for making basmati

694
00:40:02,580 --> 00:40:05,610
rice rice disparate and you put
saffron into the liquid you can

695
00:40:05,610 --> 00:40:08,190
get you do different things.
Man, there's nothing

696
00:40:08,190 --> 00:40:11,550
like Uncle Ben's, you open that
open that pack two inches, throw

697
00:40:11,550 --> 00:40:13,470
it in the microwave for two
minutes from butter boom.

698
00:40:14,369 --> 00:40:17,999
The whole process for making
basmati rice is about a 12 to 15

699
00:40:17,999 --> 00:40:21,509
minute process. And I just I'm
always amused by Uncle Ben's

700
00:40:21,509 --> 00:40:25,079
instant rice, which takes his
long, and the rice has been

701
00:40:25,259 --> 00:40:29,009
really clean of any nutrients.
And it's horrible and as mushy

702
00:40:29,009 --> 00:40:32,039
and it's terrible. No people
should learn how to cook and

703
00:40:32,039 --> 00:40:36,509
this. I could call it Iranian
style. Rice. The Iranians are

704
00:40:36,509 --> 00:40:40,829
the ones who do this rice the
best. They're fanatics about it,

705
00:40:40,859 --> 00:40:46,289
they have a lot of different
kinds of variations of the rice

706
00:40:46,289 --> 00:40:49,109
that grow rice in Iran and a
couple of areas where they make

707
00:40:49,109 --> 00:40:52,889
some killer Rice's that are
just, you know, impossible to

708
00:40:52,889 --> 00:40:54,779
get a hold of. And

709
00:40:55,650 --> 00:41:01,590
it's it's very hard to produce.
But the opportunity is is very

710
00:41:01,590 --> 00:41:05,040
apparent, John, that there's
going to be a lot of demand for

711
00:41:05,070 --> 00:41:10,020
quick, simple, yet elegant, good
tasting meals in a cooking show.

712
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,690
You're almost the perfect
candidate for it, you know?

713
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,070
Yeah, well, I can do the rice,
that's for sure. The funny thing

714
00:41:17,070 --> 00:41:19,500
about rice, which is always
amused me is that the Europeans

715
00:41:19,500 --> 00:41:22,710
had never really got a clue. I
mean, there weren't a rice

716
00:41:22,710 --> 00:41:26,580
culture. And they have like, you
know, yeah, you can get the

717
00:41:26,580 --> 00:41:30,570
risotto, which is a stirred, you
know, kind of gooey rice that

718
00:41:30,570 --> 00:41:30,930
you make.

719
00:41:31,590 --> 00:41:34,080
If you get the wrong risotto.
It's really really horrible.

720
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,860
Yeah, and it's and even when if
it's right is not that good. And

721
00:41:37,890 --> 00:41:40,860
I mean, it's interesting. It's
kind of kind of a filling

722
00:41:40,860 --> 00:41:43,650
because it's so starchy. I've
had really

723
00:41:43,650 --> 00:41:47,220
good risotto in in two
restaurants, both in in the

724
00:41:47,220 --> 00:41:50,340
United Kingdom Of all places
where the risotto was always on

725
00:41:50,340 --> 00:41:55,140
the menu, Gordon's restaurant
and what the hell's his name? It

726
00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:00,990
will come to me, as well as the
Okay, I'm two for two. Just two

727
00:42:00,990 --> 00:42:02,280
restaurants. I've had it like,

728
00:42:03,869 --> 00:42:06,839
Man, I had this great wine last
night divorce. Oh, you would

729
00:42:06,839 --> 00:42:08,189
have was

730
00:42:08,580 --> 00:42:12,960
I don't record and Ramsay's
restaurant Yeah. But they eat it

731
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:17,040
here all the time. It's like
It's like the favourite dish you

732
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:18,510
know, the the favourite
appetiser?

733
00:42:21,330 --> 00:42:23,580
Well, it's not you know, I'm not
saying it's a bad thing to eat.

734
00:42:23,610 --> 00:42:26,910
I mean, but it's not a rice dish
by any means. At least the way I

735
00:42:26,910 --> 00:42:30,480
think about it with the Asian
rice is and you know, we most

736
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:34,770
people hear cooked rice Chinese
style, some people cook Japanese

737
00:42:34,770 --> 00:42:38,730
style, which is a gooey rice
that can be that forms long

738
00:42:38,730 --> 00:42:41,850
sticks sticks together a little
bit more. Yes, sticky, sticky

739
00:42:41,850 --> 00:42:45,360
rice. And but most people cook
Chinese style or they you know,

740
00:42:45,390 --> 00:42:47,220
remember you know, there's
different ways of doing it. And

741
00:42:47,220 --> 00:42:49,710
it's always the same which is,
you know, with and typically

742
00:42:49,710 --> 00:42:55,470
with long grain rice is grown in
California or Texas. And it's

743
00:42:55,470 --> 00:42:58,860
not just people then go and
they'll buy some basmati rice

744
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:03,870
and cook it that way. And it is
just terrible. I mean, for one

745
00:43:03,870 --> 00:43:06,120
thing, they never washed it
enough boss monitor rice and

746
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,330
he's a lot of washing stuff. The
Pakistani stuff doesn't need

747
00:43:09,330 --> 00:43:13,620
half as much. And they never
soak it and then they it's just

748
00:43:13,620 --> 00:43:15,870
anybody because at first time I
when I was in college, I was

749
00:43:15,900 --> 00:43:18,600
fascinated by my understanding.
Well, boss monitor is the

750
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,480
world's best. I didn't know how
to cook it. And so I cooked it

751
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,270
Chinese style. And then I said
this is the worst rice

752
00:43:24,330 --> 00:43:28,590
imaginable. It stinks. I mean,
it was horrible. And I never

753
00:43:28,590 --> 00:43:32,310
went back to it until I just
rediscovered it at an Iranian

754
00:43:32,310 --> 00:43:32,970
restaurant.

755
00:43:34,199 --> 00:43:36,539
I don't think I've ever really
had rice that I thought was

756
00:43:36,539 --> 00:43:38,099
horrible. Honestly. Oh,

757
00:43:38,100 --> 00:43:42,270
keep try cooking basmati rice,
Chinese style. You'll, you'll

758
00:43:42,270 --> 00:43:48,060
see. I mean it's unbelievable.
Right. Anyway, that's my rice

759
00:43:48,060 --> 00:43:49,110
story. I'm sticking to it.

760
00:43:50,489 --> 00:43:54,689
The Supreme Court is now
handling the question to Obama's

761
00:43:54,689 --> 00:43:56,369
birth certificate. Oh,

762
00:43:56,369 --> 00:44:02,369
really? Yeah. I wonder would
happen if it turns out that he

763
00:44:02,369 --> 00:44:05,819
wasn't born in Hawaii, the whole
thing was a scam. And he was

764
00:44:05,819 --> 00:44:07,079
actually born in Kenya.

765
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,860
We think about a what do we
can't turn on your speaker a

766
00:44:10,860 --> 00:44:12,810
little bit, John. I mean, you
don't have headphones onto you

767
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:13,080
know,

768
00:44:13,889 --> 00:44:15,419
bounced back too much. Okay.
Yeah,

769
00:44:15,449 --> 00:44:20,609
they got a little bit. We don't
know anything about this guy.

770
00:44:22,799 --> 00:44:23,729
And I really don't, ya

771
00:44:23,730 --> 00:44:26,910
know, I know we don't we do know
that he's picked all the old

772
00:44:27,030 --> 00:44:31,560
cronies to be in his cabinet.
And

773
00:44:31,590 --> 00:44:36,270
I was looking into Richard gates
his background who was is the

774
00:44:36,270 --> 00:44:40,860
current Defence Secretary, you
know who you worked for? Back in

775
00:44:40,860 --> 00:44:44,580
the 70s who is a big new

776
00:44:45,420 --> 00:44:49,350
Brzezinski Yeah, you're but
yeah, yeah. Yeah, makes sense.

777
00:44:49,350 --> 00:44:55,110
He's got he's the inside guy
then. Wow, nice. It just Bronski

778
00:44:55,110 --> 00:44:57,960
and didn't one of this you know,
just make him his chief of staff

779
00:44:57,990 --> 00:44:58,950
and get it over with

780
00:44:59,190 --> 00:45:02,490
now he's Like he's he's pulling
the strings, man. That's what he

781
00:45:02,490 --> 00:45:05,430
does. That's what he's the he's
the big kahuna, big man on

782
00:45:05,430 --> 00:45:06,960
campus. He's making it all
happen.

783
00:45:09,150 --> 00:45:13,500
Yeah, apparently. So we'll see.
We're gonna get a boom and then

784
00:45:13,500 --> 00:45:14,070
a bust.

785
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,470
Now we're gonna go down further.
The next bottom is 7286. And

786
00:45:19,470 --> 00:45:23,790
then I'm calling Dow. 6000.
Yeah, yeah,

787
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,400
yeah, you and a couple friends
of mine is calling dow 6000. I'm

788
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:27,090
not seeing it.

789
00:45:28,380 --> 00:45:31,080
I mean, we got it, we got to
break through this. We got to

790
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,960
break through this barrier first
and this this wishy washy up and

791
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:39,240
down 300 points per day. This
just so and now we're going to

792
00:45:39,240 --> 00:45:44,220
bail out the auto company
bailout man. Is this

793
00:45:44,250 --> 00:45:46,530
unbelievable? Or have you
followed any of that?

794
00:45:47,250 --> 00:45:49,560
Of the here? And I molesky? No,
I have I should have been

795
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,080
listening to the hearings. But I
mean, these guys are whining on

796
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,020
it too much for my taste. But
you know, the fact of the matter

797
00:45:55,020 --> 00:45:58,110
is they bail out first aid. You
know, they bail out these

798
00:45:58,170 --> 00:46:01,140
financial institutions. And then
the car companies get screwed in

799
00:46:01,140 --> 00:46:05,580
the deal because these guys
hoard the money. And the car

800
00:46:05,580 --> 00:46:08,100
companies so they don't just
hoard it, they launch it looking

801
00:46:08,100 --> 00:46:10,140
for free money like these other
guys.

802
00:46:10,650 --> 00:46:13,650
Hey, it was funny. During one of
the hearings, they kept saying

803
00:46:13,650 --> 00:46:16,620
bailout bailout and then
actually one of the auto people

804
00:46:16,620 --> 00:46:21,450
corrected himself and said I
mean loan. We were asking for

805
00:46:21,450 --> 00:46:25,230
this bailout, I mean loan. And
as my favourite. I drove a

806
00:46:25,230 --> 00:46:27,450
hybrid car here today. So
they've learned right, they're

807
00:46:27,450 --> 00:46:30,840
all putting their corporate jets
up for sale and I drove a hybrid

808
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,450
here, I drove a Chrysler hybrid
test vehicle.

809
00:46:34,469 --> 00:46:37,259
There's a piece of news that
came out claiming that the only

810
00:46:37,259 --> 00:46:40,259
reason they were flying
corporate jets was and they

811
00:46:40,289 --> 00:46:45,899
couldn't fly commercial is for
security reasons. Break the

812
00:46:45,899 --> 00:46:49,229
government thing is so you find
that guy's a CEO of GM and you

813
00:46:49,229 --> 00:46:52,649
got something wrong with your
car. That's sad, and I bought a

814
00:46:52,649 --> 00:46:55,229
piece of crap. What are you
gonna do about it? You know,

815
00:46:55,229 --> 00:46:57,509
they wouldn't be security
reasons they'd be harassed on

816
00:46:57,509 --> 00:46:59,849
the aeroplane, I suppose. I
don't know. I saw Bill Gates fly

817
00:46:59,849 --> 00:47:02,279
commercial. And, you know, he
was the world's richest man at

818
00:47:02,279 --> 00:47:05,279
that time. Nobody was gonna be
the only once in a while

819
00:47:05,279 --> 00:47:08,369
somebody come up to him. I was
on a plane once with Jimmy

820
00:47:08,369 --> 00:47:13,589
Carter. Jimmy Carter has got the
right approach. And because I

821
00:47:13,589 --> 00:47:16,799
talked to the stewardesses about
it afterwards, and for one thing

822
00:47:16,799 --> 00:47:19,079
it was took me forever to get to
the airport that traffic was a

823
00:47:19,079 --> 00:47:21,179
mess. I couldn't figure out what
the deal was. So I get to the

824
00:47:21,179 --> 00:47:25,199
airport. I'm on his plane to
Atlanta delta. And Jimmy Carter

825
00:47:25,199 --> 00:47:28,049
is on the plane. And Jimmy
Carter, he gets on the plane

826
00:47:28,079 --> 00:47:30,089
group course that meant their
security was screwing up the

827
00:47:30,089 --> 00:47:35,549
roads, you know, anyway, so
Jimmy Carter. He's booked in

828
00:47:35,549 --> 00:47:40,709
first class with a couple of
Secret Service guys, babes. A

829
00:47:40,709 --> 00:47:44,579
couple of babes here. It'd be
nice but NO. Jimmy Carter goes

830
00:47:44,579 --> 00:47:47,609
through the plane and introduces
himself to every single

831
00:47:47,609 --> 00:47:53,849
passenger. Seriously, he goes
down one aisle and he takes you

832
00:47:53,849 --> 00:47:55,679
know, he doesn't really because
he shakes hands with everybody

833
00:47:55,679 --> 00:47:58,709
and says hi. You know, you may
you know, have heard of me kind

834
00:47:58,709 --> 00:48:02,159
of thing. Earlier have heard of
me, and he comes back around and

835
00:48:02,159 --> 00:48:04,679
then he comes back around the
other way and he meets me and I

836
00:48:04,679 --> 00:48:06,539
talked to him for a couple
seconds. You know, yeah, how you

837
00:48:06,539 --> 00:48:09,629
doing? You know, it's good young
playing and whatever, forgot

838
00:48:09,629 --> 00:48:13,259
what I said it was something
stupid. And so then he goes back

839
00:48:13,259 --> 00:48:15,869
and he sits down and I talked to
the stewardess about to sort of

840
00:48:15,869 --> 00:48:19,049
just what's the deal with him
coming in key and she said this

841
00:48:19,049 --> 00:48:22,769
I thought was genius. She said
Carter comes on the plane that

842
00:48:22,769 --> 00:48:25,739
everyone knows he's on the
plane. So he introduces himself

843
00:48:25,739 --> 00:48:28,319
to everybody on the plane by the
way, she's been on a number of

844
00:48:28,319 --> 00:48:31,289
planes with them. So we're
talking 200 passengers are just

845
00:48:31,289 --> 00:48:34,139
in first class no 200 passengers
he goes at the end of the whole

846
00:48:34,139 --> 00:48:37,799
thing takes about half an hour
half an hour at least. Yeah. But

847
00:48:37,799 --> 00:48:40,559
his during the you know, the
ramp UPS was not like you know,

848
00:48:41,069 --> 00:48:44,219
he introduces himself to
everybody on the plane she says

849
00:48:44,219 --> 00:48:47,879
because once they know it'll
bother over not gonna bother him

850
00:48:47,879 --> 00:48:50,999
because before that people would
come up and when his autograph

851
00:48:50,999 --> 00:48:53,189
and they went this and that, you
know, and they he couldn't get

852
00:48:53,189 --> 00:48:56,519
any sleep he likes to sleep on
the plane. And so now he does

853
00:48:56,519 --> 00:48:59,219
this and I thought what it was
it was a great idea and I think

854
00:48:59,219 --> 00:49:02,249
everyone who's that famous,
although I don't think there's

855
00:49:02,249 --> 00:49:06,359
too many in that category should
just do the same thing. It was

856
00:49:06,359 --> 00:49:07,199
actually kind of cool.

857
00:49:07,230 --> 00:49:09,750
No Well, we'll typically
celebrities don't introduce

858
00:49:09,750 --> 00:49:12,300
themselves to anyone on the
plane get hammered. Grab the

859
00:49:12,300 --> 00:49:15,690
stewardess his ass and then wind
up fighting and arrested and

860
00:49:15,690 --> 00:49:18,120
diverting to another airport.
That's pretty much the way it

861
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:24,630
usually works. Yeah. Certainly
with the supermodels. I flew on.

862
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:28,650
When Fergie was still married to
Andrew, she flew British Airways

863
00:49:29,010 --> 00:49:34,290
when she was still a member of
the royal family. Yeah, to New

864
00:49:34,290 --> 00:49:35,790
York, I think what happened

865
00:49:35,790 --> 00:49:38,580
to her she was like trying to
become a celebrity in the United

866
00:49:38,580 --> 00:49:42,990
States and eventually just
became, you know, yeah, it

867
00:49:42,989 --> 00:49:45,419
was she did Jenny Craig. She
made a lot of money in that and

868
00:49:45,419 --> 00:49:47,519
she wrote a book and she made
money on that and I think she

869
00:49:47,519 --> 00:49:53,489
did a video made money on that.
And there was a kind of reality

870
00:49:53,489 --> 00:49:59,039
type Docu drama on her a couple
months back here. It was at her

871
00:49:59,039 --> 00:50:04,349
home. It was like living With
Fergie. So yeah, I would have to

872
00:50:04,349 --> 00:50:10,829
say she gets pushed away into
the archives. Yeah, the Royal

873
00:50:11,190 --> 00:50:13,830
for good reason she I saw her in
one talk show once and she

874
00:50:13,830 --> 00:50:19,410
seemed you know, like a wacky
that typical high upper class

875
00:50:20,370 --> 00:50:24,300
boring British style of you
know,

876
00:50:24,330 --> 00:50:26,610
she was she was no Diana man.
I'll tell you that

877
00:50:28,380 --> 00:50:32,460
person that wasn't of any
interest to anybody. She seemed

878
00:50:32,460 --> 00:50:34,800
like a nice enough person but
she didn't seem to have much

879
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:35,460
going on.

880
00:50:36,510 --> 00:50:38,820
Now, as you wind up on Celebrity
Rehab you

881
00:50:39,540 --> 00:50:43,410
already read about Celebrity
Rehab. I understand that our

882
00:50:43,410 --> 00:50:48,450
friend Amy Winehouse is about to
die in rehab or somebody she's

883
00:50:48,540 --> 00:50:49,560
sports a John,

884
00:50:49,590 --> 00:50:53,640
it is a cold day in hell when
you're ahead of Amy Winehouse

885
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,170
news. What is going on?

886
00:50:55,170 --> 00:50:58,050
Dave? Dave Good came over here.
I mean, normally we don't get a

887
00:50:58,050 --> 00:51:00,750
lot of Amy Winehouse stuff
unless she's on death's

888
00:51:00,750 --> 00:51:05,610
doorstep. And that was kind of
the fee or maybe what it was was

889
00:51:05,610 --> 00:51:10,860
I was too lazy. I lost my remote
control. And I ended up watching

890
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:16,500
extra which is one of the shows
on television extra extra and

891
00:51:16,590 --> 00:51:17,520
you know, which is all

892
00:51:18,780 --> 00:51:20,760
flat, flashy gossipy stuff.
Yeah.

893
00:51:20,909 --> 00:51:24,539
Most of its paid for, you know,
pay pay for gas to pay for the

894
00:51:24,569 --> 00:51:30,029
minute and I think she was
mentioned as something wrong

895
00:51:30,059 --> 00:51:30,539
with her

896
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:35,970
at the seams seems to be a
couple of news articles. Let's

897
00:51:35,970 --> 00:51:38,850
see. Amy Winehouse still
hospitalised this hobby sent

898
00:51:38,850 --> 00:51:39,780
back to jail.

899
00:51:42,090 --> 00:51:46,140
Now there's a there's a headline
for you. This is what you don't

900
00:51:46,140 --> 00:51:50,160
want. You just want to read this
about yourself.

901
00:51:50,459 --> 00:51:58,319
Is the definition of a bad day.
Yeah, yeah, it's been

902
00:51:58,319 --> 00:52:05,399
hospitalised since November 23.
Yeah, that's a shame because

903
00:52:05,399 --> 00:52:06,119
she's a talent.

904
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,840
Well, you know, you can only
apparently she's got to know who

905
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:10,260
knows.

906
00:52:11,010 --> 00:52:13,260
Blame it on the Afghani drug
trade.

907
00:52:14,310 --> 00:52:21,990
Yeah, without actually getting
involved with those drugs. So

908
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:26,100
what else going on over there?
Is there anything that in the EU

909
00:52:26,100 --> 00:52:29,610
happening I mean, I guess the
Lisbon Treaty is like I was

910
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,640
there was a special on me was
watching BBC America and they'd

911
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:36,210
like they're the Irish or, you
know, they're trying to resell

912
00:52:36,210 --> 00:52:39,660
them on the on another vote and
they have oh, yeah, no, no,

913
00:52:39,660 --> 00:52:42,450
yeah. They promised why they
should be voting. Yes. How much

914
00:52:42,450 --> 00:52:44,640
good as gonna do the Irish
weren't even in World War Two.

915
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,890
For God's sake, they're pretty
much isolationists.

916
00:52:47,460 --> 00:52:49,860
Well, that's one of the main
reasons because they felt that

917
00:52:49,860 --> 00:52:53,400
they didn't want to be locked
into some kind of tax scheme,

918
00:52:53,430 --> 00:52:56,490
your Europe wide, and they
definitely did not want to be a

919
00:52:56,490 --> 00:52:59,820
part of a European army, which,
of course, is exactly the two

920
00:52:59,820 --> 00:53:01,080
things that are in this treaty.

921
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:04,470
I vote against it again.

922
00:53:05,489 --> 00:53:08,909
I don't think so. Man, people
are so stupid. They'll they'll,

923
00:53:09,299 --> 00:53:13,979
they'll do a whole media blitz,
they'll really work it and I

924
00:53:13,979 --> 00:53:14,939
don't think they can. Although

925
00:53:14,969 --> 00:53:18,899
Do you think the Irish can be
convinced that is good for them

926
00:53:18,899 --> 00:53:20,369
to sign off on this deal?

927
00:53:21,989 --> 00:53:25,349
I think that they know. But I do
believe that whatever they do

928
00:53:25,349 --> 00:53:27,509
for in the referendum, I'm sure
they can get the votes they

929
00:53:27,509 --> 00:53:33,899
need. It was close enough. You
know, now we are getting a new

930
00:53:34,139 --> 00:53:39,929
EU president the check this
check guy who is actually he

931
00:53:39,929 --> 00:53:42,299
seems pretty interesting. He's
he's pretty much spoken out

932
00:53:42,329 --> 00:53:44,339
against the Lisbon Treaty.

933
00:53:44,699 --> 00:53:47,939
Specifically, when m is a boss
for it doesn't make any sense.

934
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,670
Well, it's it rotates. You know,
that's one of the things they

935
00:53:50,670 --> 00:53:52,740
wanted to stop in the treaties.
They wanted to have one

936
00:53:52,740 --> 00:53:55,410
president you know, none of this
rotating ship because clearly,

937
00:53:55,440 --> 00:54:01,590
you know, that doesn't fit the
agenda. So, it's, it's not

938
00:54:04,139 --> 00:54:06,869
well, I know it's going to be
responsible for world war three.

939
00:54:08,790 --> 00:54:10,110
Okay, hit me.

940
00:54:10,380 --> 00:54:13,290
I just got to be at some point.
You know, there's still

941
00:54:13,290 --> 00:54:15,990
animosity, cultural animosity
between a lot of these

942
00:54:15,990 --> 00:54:20,250
countries. You know, ever since,
you know, the 10

943
00:54:20,850 --> 00:54:24,360
I take you right back, you know,
it's not going to happen between

944
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:26,400
the European countries. It's
going to happen between it's

945
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:30,330
going to be India, Pakistan is
going to be China with Pakistan,

946
00:54:31,410 --> 00:54:36,300
the US and Europe with India.
I'm not quite sure how Russia

947
00:54:36,300 --> 00:54:40,500
fits in where they're gonna fit
in. But I think it's I think

948
00:54:40,500 --> 00:54:43,110
it's those big three I think
that's that's what's brewing

949
00:54:43,110 --> 00:54:45,270
that's what's happening in the
background. Everyone's got to be

950
00:54:45,270 --> 00:54:50,040
pissed at each other about the
money system and and that whole

951
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:54,930
region, Afghanistan, Iran,
Pakistan, India, that's that's

952
00:54:54,930 --> 00:54:56,730
the next theatre as far as

953
00:54:57,060 --> 00:54:59,640
places always they're always
battling each other. I don't see

954
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,790
that as causing the kind of mess
that you get when the Germans

955
00:55:02,790 --> 00:55:03,870
and the French go at it.

956
00:55:05,609 --> 00:55:07,529
Man, would that be funny to see
that happen?

957
00:55:09,030 --> 00:55:12,900
You know, could happen? Yeah. I
mean, but you might be, you

958
00:55:12,900 --> 00:55:16,440
know, but we have to remember
that media has changed a lot in

959
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:20,010
the van, the public has, you
know, reacts differently than

960
00:55:20,010 --> 00:55:25,560
they used to, to things and I
don't know. But, normally, but

961
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,540
here's I'm just looking at from
an historical perspective, these

962
00:55:27,540 --> 00:55:30,180
Europeans are always fighting
with each other, you know, and

963
00:55:30,180 --> 00:55:33,750
they get into this pretty nasty,
you know, it gets pretty bad.

964
00:55:35,580 --> 00:55:39,150
I, what I'm seeing is this just
this it's all lacklustre. You

965
00:55:39,150 --> 00:55:41,550
know, no one gives a shit no one
wants to fight. No one wants to

966
00:55:41,550 --> 00:55:44,220
do anything. I'd take you right
back to I want I'm a celebrity.

967
00:55:44,220 --> 00:55:46,800
Get me out of here. That's all
people want. They want to drink.

968
00:55:47,130 --> 00:55:50,910
They want to, you know, they
want to watch TV, and then they

969
00:55:50,910 --> 00:55:52,920
want to see the football game.
And that's about it. People

970
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,500
don't give a shit. They just let
it all happen. No one's paying

971
00:55:55,500 --> 00:55:57,990
attention. What happens when
everyone's talking about Amy

972
00:55:57,990 --> 00:55:59,070
Winehouse when

973
00:55:59,219 --> 00:56:04,289
including us? What happens when
the Muslims get majority control

974
00:56:04,289 --> 00:56:06,899
of France? That'd be
interesting.

975
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:09,960
Well, this is already happening
all over Europe, because people

976
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:14,100
are so lethargic and sick in the
Netherlands. Great example. You

977
00:56:14,100 --> 00:56:17,100
know, I hear people complain all
the time. Oh, man, we got more

978
00:56:17,100 --> 00:56:20,850
scarves in in our in our
government than than we have on

979
00:56:20,850 --> 00:56:24,240
our street corners. What's going
on here? Well, you lazy bastards

980
00:56:24,240 --> 00:56:27,960
you didn't run for for anything.
You didn't vote you didn't run

981
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:31,200
for anything. And you know,
these people who did the smart

982
00:56:31,470 --> 00:56:33,630
say, hey, shit, you know,
there's an opportunity. I'm

983
00:56:33,630 --> 00:56:36,180
going to represent my community
boom, they're in they get voted

984
00:56:36,180 --> 00:56:43,290
for it's the same everywhere.
Well, throughout Europe. It's

985
00:56:43,290 --> 00:56:45,720
the same in the States. No, no
one sticks up and says, Oh, I'm

986
00:56:45,720 --> 00:56:50,850
gonna run run for for mayor or
Senate or governor or anything,

987
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,130
you know, because they actually
have any ideals.

988
00:56:54,449 --> 00:56:57,389
Yeah, people don't run much.
They should run more. They bid

989
00:56:57,389 --> 00:57:00,239
you a lot you feel could
complain. My suspect? Where's

990
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:01,139
the my story?

991
00:57:01,139 --> 00:57:04,019
The organisation of like the
Democratic Party, you know,

992
00:57:04,049 --> 00:57:08,249
where all the the field offices?
And where's the Organisation for

993
00:57:08,249 --> 00:57:10,979
the Republican Party? Yes, sure.
We can. We've got the Obama

994
00:57:10,979 --> 00:57:14,219
bots, and they've got the little
email network and stuff. But

995
00:57:14,219 --> 00:57:16,439
really people who care and are
out there and doing stuff that

996
00:57:16,439 --> 00:57:17,789
doesn't exist anymore, John?

997
00:57:18,570 --> 00:57:21,060
Well, not you mentioned it. I
don't know where these things

998
00:57:21,060 --> 00:57:23,790
are. I mean, there's like a back
room somewhere. And then they'll

999
00:57:23,790 --> 00:57:27,090
just you know, the, these guys
that are just perpetual

1000
00:57:27,090 --> 00:57:30,750
politicians move into an area
they take over the town, and

1001
00:57:30,750 --> 00:57:34,920
they started to rob it. And
nobody seems to notice. I'm in

1002
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,590
the state of California and they
use the media was as a matter of

1003
00:57:37,590 --> 00:57:40,950
fact, we were so broke. And then
somebody pointed out that we

1004
00:57:40,980 --> 00:57:43,920
double our size of government,
even though we're in debt over

1005
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,650
the last few years, and it's
like, what's it and there's

1006
00:57:46,650 --> 00:57:49,470
every time there's of scandals,
always some middlemen that are

1007
00:57:49,770 --> 00:57:53,220
like the school systems around
here are top heavy with

1008
00:57:53,220 --> 00:57:56,790
bureaucrats and they're getting
credible salaries and the one

1009
00:57:56,790 --> 00:58:02,190
little city that went out of
business, Vallejo went bankrupt.

1010
00:58:02,190 --> 00:58:04,830
And then they revealed what they
were paying in these these,

1011
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:08,670
these people. That mean, the
chief of police was making like

1012
00:58:08,670 --> 00:58:11,700
a half a million dollars, and
these other guys are deputy.

1013
00:58:12,210 --> 00:58:16,200
Were making 400,000 a year and
clerks were making hundreds of

1014
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:21,060
1000s. And it's like they were
robbing these idiots. Yep.

1015
00:58:21,869 --> 00:58:25,739
Just like the $8.4 trillion
robbery. You're all idiots.

1016
00:58:26,550 --> 00:58:31,320
It's a complete robbery. And you
can't even get somebody like

1017
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,560
McCain who was running in it who
could have you know, positioned

1018
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:38,850
himself against all this stuff.
He was part of the sellout he

1019
00:58:38,850 --> 00:58:42,720
was like part just just as
stooge was ridiculous. No wonder

1020
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,220
he couldn't even come close to
winning.

1021
00:58:48,030 --> 00:58:50,190
So can we fix it? No,

1022
00:58:50,219 --> 00:58:50,969
we're screwed.

1023
00:58:54,060 --> 00:58:58,290
Totally hosed. I can't even get
into the Christmas spirit. I

1024
00:58:58,290 --> 00:59:03,090
have no Christmas spirit going
on. Well, surely. No, it's not.

1025
00:59:03,570 --> 00:59:06,780
They they put the lights on in
the town. And everyone's in, you

1026
00:59:06,780 --> 00:59:09,420
know, they got the bells out in
the Santos know that doing their

1027
00:59:09,420 --> 00:59:13,890
thing. And it's probably this
deflationary spiral, or whatever

1028
00:59:13,890 --> 00:59:17,100
it is, wherever you stay in
Indore, you know, it's just

1029
00:59:17,130 --> 00:59:20,880
nothing's going on. It seems
like total deadlock? I don't

1030
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:21,870
know, man. Well, I

1031
00:59:21,870 --> 00:59:24,750
remember last week, we made our
predictions about the Black

1032
00:59:24,750 --> 00:59:25,290
Friday.

1033
00:59:26,429 --> 00:59:29,219
Did you get the actual numbers?
It probably wasn't that bad. Was

1034
00:59:29,219 --> 00:59:29,519
it? No,

1035
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:32,460
it was good. Actually, I had
predicted was gonna go down. 5%

1036
00:59:32,460 --> 00:59:36,150
you predicted 2020? It actually
went up. Depending on who you

1037
00:59:36,150 --> 00:59:39,810
talk to between five and 7%. Up?
It went

1038
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:43,560
up between five and 7%. Yeah,
unreal. That's where those

1039
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:45,390
numbers come from. Who produces
that?

1040
00:59:45,389 --> 00:59:49,499
I know. They come from here and
they're probably the commerce

1041
00:59:49,499 --> 00:59:49,619
do. You

1042
00:59:49,620 --> 00:59:50,610
don't think that's important?

1043
00:59:51,150 --> 00:59:53,550
I mean, their numbers are, I
don't know where the numbers

1044
00:59:53,550 --> 00:59:55,620
come from off the top of my
head. I could look it up and

1045
00:59:55,620 --> 00:59:58,080
find out and I'm sure that you
know, since everyone uses these

1046
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:01,290
numbers, and from what I could
tell Because I went you know

1047
01:00:01,290 --> 01:00:03,900
looked around these places we're
doing a hell of a business three

1048
01:00:03,900 --> 01:00:05,070
people were killed

1049
01:00:05,910 --> 01:00:08,610
that I was gonna say that's the
thing we should do next season

1050
01:00:08,610 --> 01:00:13,230
we have to do the body count to
count god man you know people

1051
01:00:13,230 --> 01:00:16,500
just they so they break the door
down. This guy is squashed

1052
01:00:16,500 --> 01:00:20,520
underneath the door that just
running over the door. And then

1053
01:00:20,580 --> 01:00:25,500
and then everyone's in the guy's
dead. squashed like a bug wash

1054
01:00:25,530 --> 01:00:27,930
and then and then they want to
close the store and people say

1055
01:00:27,930 --> 01:00:34,800
no, screw you, man. We want our
cheap X Xbox 360 Yeah, we don't

1056
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:38,550
give a shit if he's dead. I got
a deal here. There's only a

1057
01:00:38,550 --> 01:00:39,540
couple left.

1058
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:43,200
And it's like the other thing
was is like the there's

1059
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:46,380
something about the Walmart
employees had locked arms.

1060
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:49,680
Thinking what are these guys
working minimum wage locked arms

1061
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:53,370
against that angry crowd of
people bearing torches trying to

1062
01:00:53,370 --> 01:00:57,390
kill Frankenstein? And you're
locking arms? Hell, I'm getting

1063
01:00:57,390 --> 01:00:58,410
out of the way.

1064
01:00:58,860 --> 01:01:01,500
They must be chipped at Walmart.
There's no other way.

1065
01:01:01,860 --> 01:01:04,260
Yeah, no, it makes no sense that
these people were pushing in,

1066
01:01:04,260 --> 01:01:07,680
they're gonna bust down the
doors. I'm you know, you people

1067
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,740
got to get a little more
experienced with crowd behaviour

1068
01:01:10,740 --> 01:01:16,440
now dangerous. Moving crowd is I
mean, this is particularly I

1069
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:17,310
mean, get killed.

1070
01:01:17,850 --> 01:01:20,580
While also a lot of people don't
know about the corporate culture

1071
01:01:20,580 --> 01:01:24,300
of Walmart, which is indeed very
cult like and a little bit

1072
01:01:24,300 --> 01:01:26,940
scary. They have these huge
company meetings and

1073
01:01:26,940 --> 01:01:32,850
auditoriums. Whenever people
travel, including the highest

1074
01:01:32,850 --> 01:01:37,230
executives in the company, they
stay at really cheap hotels

1075
01:01:37,230 --> 01:01:41,130
slash motels. They sleep to
people to a room. It's all about

1076
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:46,500
cutting costs. And it's a very,
it's kind of a, like a

1077
01:01:46,500 --> 01:01:48,240
militaristic culture in a way.

1078
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:51,900
You know, I've run into other
companies, there's a number of

1079
01:01:51,900 --> 01:01:57,000
them that I used to go to trade
shows a lot. You know, so yeah,

1080
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:01,050
well, I met to such such and
such motel here in Las Vegas and

1081
01:02:01,050 --> 01:02:03,720
San Juan, she's one of the main
places well, yeah, they put us

1082
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:06,270
up because we got a real good
deal. And because we're two

1083
01:02:06,270 --> 01:02:10,890
people to a room. And I'm
thinking, I'm thinking more

1084
01:02:10,890 --> 01:02:15,000
along the lines of a typical
liability issue. I mean, if

1085
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,190
you're starting to put two
people in a room and you're a

1086
01:02:17,190 --> 01:02:20,280
corporation, and you
irresponsibly put two people in

1087
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:24,540
a room, and one of them happens
to be, you know, a paedophile or

1088
01:02:24,540 --> 01:02:28,770
rapist, you know, or just a
masher or somebody, you know,

1089
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:33,450
just the risks, there are just,
you know, are weighed. I mean,

1090
01:02:33,450 --> 01:02:37,080
it's out of control. I mean, you
do whatever 10 cents you saved,

1091
01:02:37,410 --> 01:02:41,400
could be wiped out, you know,
100 fold, but the lawsuit about

1092
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:44,790
somebody, you know, doing
something throwing up, I mean,

1093
01:02:44,790 --> 01:02:47,610
there's a million possibilities
that you lack of privacy. I

1094
01:02:47,610 --> 01:02:49,500
mean, it's just I've never

1095
01:02:49,500 --> 01:02:52,470
ever heard of any problems like
that with Walmart. And they've

1096
01:02:52,470 --> 01:02:55,980
been doing this for a long time,
the shooter person? Well, the

1097
01:02:55,980 --> 01:02:58,890
Walmart poli sci is always on
the on the lookout, of course,

1098
01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:02,970
what just I'm just saying, I
think it's a bad idea. If you're

1099
01:03:03,180 --> 01:03:06,300
spending, you know, send less
people. I mean, if you're

1100
01:03:06,330 --> 01:03:09,540
bending the view, You're so
cheap that you have to put

1101
01:03:09,540 --> 01:03:13,260
people in a crappy motel to up
once you put three in there

1102
01:03:13,260 --> 01:03:16,170
while you're at it, you know,
get a roll away and get a roll

1103
01:03:16,170 --> 01:03:20,430
away. Always have a roll away,
every place has a roll away, you

1104
01:03:20,430 --> 01:03:23,250
can get a third person there,
once you go that far. You know,

1105
01:03:23,250 --> 01:03:25,920
it just makes no sense to me
that these these companies do

1106
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,980
that. I mean, there are ways to
get it. I mean, another

1107
01:03:28,980 --> 01:03:31,410
possibility for I've always
thought this was a good

1108
01:03:31,410 --> 01:03:35,370
recommendation instead of you
know, it's dictating what people

1109
01:03:35,370 --> 01:03:37,800
should be doing with their
travel budget, give them a

1110
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:40,500
travel budget of X amount of
money, and let them spend it to

1111
01:03:40,500 --> 01:03:43,080
when they figure it out. They
want to double up to save money

1112
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:45,480
so they can have some leftover
at the end of the year for the

1113
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:47,040
travel budget. Fine.

1114
01:03:48,420 --> 01:03:54,540
MTV used to do that. It was
Viacom then. Yeah. You know, so

1115
01:03:54,540 --> 01:03:57,420
you could split the cost of a
first class ticket and Take

1116
01:03:57,420 --> 01:03:59,640
someone with you go coach, there
was all kinds of things that

1117
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:01,440
they did. That was it was kind
of cool that way.

1118
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:03,930
Yeah, I think it's a good
policy. And it did lets people

1119
01:04:03,930 --> 01:04:06,780
be creative and take you know,
and it also is less work for the

1120
01:04:06,780 --> 01:04:09,900
company. You just have to You're
just responsible for ending up

1121
01:04:09,900 --> 01:04:13,320
in Vegas. You have to be there
for some show, let's say. And

1122
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:15,690
you can stay wherever you want.
You know, if you want to stay at

1123
01:04:15,690 --> 01:04:18,690
the Bellagio, go ahead. If you
got to, you know, you feel like

1124
01:04:18,690 --> 01:04:21,210
throwing money at it. Or you can
get a deal. I mean, why should

1125
01:04:21,210 --> 01:04:23,850
it all be determined by the
corporation? Putting everybody

1126
01:04:23,850 --> 01:04:27,420
up in the same stupid motel, so
they can share a ride?

1127
01:04:28,830 --> 01:04:31,530
It's all for the cost. It's all
for the company. Hey, look, they

1128
01:04:31,530 --> 01:04:35,940
link arms. You don't think that
was a bad idea? Boy. 1000s OF

1129
01:04:35,940 --> 01:04:39,210
ENVIRONMENTAL campaigners
marched on Westminster today to

1130
01:04:39,210 --> 01:04:45,060
demand more to be done to combat
climate change. My view is

1131
01:04:45,510 --> 01:04:46,650
a dead horse.

1132
01:04:47,190 --> 01:04:51,240
So their their governments
robbing them blind making them

1133
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:58,110
poor. The let's go march for
climate change. There's some

1134
01:04:58,110 --> 01:05:01,110
screwed up priorities there. Oh,
it's about the third runway at

1135
01:05:01,110 --> 01:05:02,370
Heathrow, of course,

1136
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,520
oh yeah. Oh, that's just as a
Windows things are always just a

1137
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:08,310
scam, you know, you get a group
together and your pressure

1138
01:05:08,310 --> 01:05:11,190
Heathrow about the third runway
until you get bought off.

1139
01:05:12,389 --> 01:05:14,309
You know, a lot of you can make
money out of that,

1140
01:05:14,429 --> 01:05:17,129
oh, I mean, this was the there's
a lot of these pressure groups

1141
01:05:17,129 --> 01:05:20,879
that do nothing more than go
into a corporation with with a,

1142
01:05:21,239 --> 01:05:25,349
you know, with a lot large
contingent of idiots that, you

1143
01:05:25,349 --> 01:05:27,029
know, go along with the
programme, you know, these

1144
01:05:27,029 --> 01:05:30,779
protesters, and then they go
into a corporation and the next

1145
01:05:30,779 --> 01:05:33,509
thing you know, they have a big
contribution to their

1146
01:05:33,509 --> 01:05:36,299
organisation, and then they go
off to some other corporates,

1147
01:05:36,359 --> 01:05:38,999
don't bother these people. I
mean, this was always the

1148
01:05:39,029 --> 01:05:42,569
accusation against Jesse
Jackson's Rainbow Coalition,

1149
01:05:42,929 --> 01:05:46,559
that he was essentially you
know, it's a legal form of

1150
01:05:46,559 --> 01:05:50,759
extortion and go from one
company to another and claim

1151
01:05:50,759 --> 01:05:52,679
that you know, you're looking
into this or that and then

1152
01:05:52,679 --> 01:05:57,509
either, you know, get told to
shove off and you need to get

1153
01:05:57,509 --> 01:05:59,099
out there should do it. You
know, it's a lot of it's a

1154
01:05:59,099 --> 01:06:03,269
bluff. Oh, oh, you protest
against the thing, you make a

1155
01:06:03,269 --> 01:06:06,539
big stink of the company of
black eye. And it's not worth

1156
01:06:06,539 --> 01:06:10,049
the company's you know, PR our
efforts they've just assumed

1157
01:06:10,049 --> 01:06:13,439
give you the money to good way
to make a living if you want to,

1158
01:06:13,439 --> 01:06:14,279
but you guys just gonna

1159
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:18,000
say yeah, my brain is spinning.
I'm in overdrive here like oh

1160
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:18,810
opportunity,

1161
01:06:19,199 --> 01:06:22,409
as a real good way to make a
living. I mean, if you can, if

1162
01:06:22,409 --> 01:06:26,429
you have the lack of scruples to
do it, but ya know, this this

1163
01:06:26,459 --> 01:06:30,659
when you see something like this
about Heathrow but the runway, I

1164
01:06:30,659 --> 01:06:34,859
guarantee why we can't guarantee
but 90% There's a good chance

1165
01:06:35,219 --> 01:06:40,049
that is some buddies operation
that needs to get you know, a

1166
01:06:40,049 --> 01:06:45,239
little more funding let's say
they give us a little donation

1167
01:06:45,239 --> 01:06:46,199
if you know what I'm saying.

1168
01:06:46,679 --> 01:06:51,269
Yeah, I hear ya, I hear well
anyway, just to finalise UK

1169
01:06:51,269 --> 01:06:56,009
NEWS, the they did their annual
Queen's speech or whatever, and

1170
01:06:56,009 --> 01:07:00,599
then they present what laws they
want to put into effect. Which

1171
01:07:00,599 --> 01:07:05,699
includes lots more CCTV coverage
all over the all over the

1172
01:07:05,699 --> 01:07:10,949
country, and how much more can
they put in? You'd be amazed the

1173
01:07:10,949 --> 01:07:13,469
big drive, so you know, you know
they're on this this

1174
01:07:13,469 --> 01:07:17,129
prostitution thing we talked
about last week. Now they want

1175
01:07:17,129 --> 01:07:22,199
to change the licencing laws
where lap dancing clubs are now

1176
01:07:22,199 --> 01:07:28,379
deemed as places of sexual
encounter which there you go

1177
01:07:28,409 --> 01:07:34,379
that's the Queen calling which
we saw this happens every week.

1178
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:38,340
A call back and a half an hour.

1179
01:07:39,810 --> 01:07:42,900
Yeah, man 15 minutes I'm done
with it. Anyway,

1180
01:07:43,049 --> 01:07:47,339
John, I think that was a that
was a solicitor Oh, really?

1181
01:07:47,399 --> 01:07:47,759
Yeah.

1182
01:07:48,300 --> 01:07:49,560
I just got a lawyer solicitor

1183
01:07:50,489 --> 01:07:52,949
we don't have lawyers solicitors
No, the thing is you know these

1184
01:07:52,949 --> 01:07:55,769
boiler rooms are so blank now
that when they pick up when you

1185
01:07:55,829 --> 01:07:58,619
when they say you know usually
they mispronounce your name is

1186
01:07:58,619 --> 01:08:04,319
this John depends on you know,
you know, they look at it they

1187
01:08:04,319 --> 01:08:06,209
obviously didn't think much
about because it comes up on the

1188
01:08:06,209 --> 01:08:08,909
computer screen if anybody wants
to know how these things Hello

1189
01:08:08,909 --> 01:08:12,749
was Mr. Day, look at the wrong
amigo. Raka and they said, What

1190
01:08:12,749 --> 01:08:18,179
am I going to say to this guy?
Dad? vara it divorce? Yeah,

1191
01:08:18,179 --> 01:08:19,859
that's what I always say
whenever they pronounced that's

1192
01:08:19,859 --> 01:08:20,639
fine. highly

1193
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:24,600
annoying. is T Mobile does this
a lot AT and T does it as well.

1194
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:29,430
I'm sure all carriers do it. So
you're in a foreign country, and

1195
01:08:29,430 --> 01:08:32,520
you get a text message which
costs you Oh, yeah. Right. You

1196
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:36,360
know, and that's like when an
Xbox 360 or What the fuck is

1197
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:44,040
that? Stop it cost me money to
receive this stupid message. And

1198
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:46,410
you'd think that they would.
It's not that hard to figure out

1199
01:08:46,410 --> 01:08:49,050
that I'm in a different country.
Maybe not a good time to bother

1200
01:08:49,050 --> 01:08:49,380
me.

1201
01:08:50,310 --> 01:08:52,800
It's hilarious. Well, anyway, so
you could show these people pick

1202
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:55,290
up and it's all computerised. By
the way, I worked in a boiler

1203
01:08:55,290 --> 01:09:00,300
room once when I was in college.
And what was cool about it is

1204
01:09:00,300 --> 01:09:05,820
that I one thing I learned one
scam which is not on the boiler

1205
01:09:05,820 --> 01:09:07,920
room side, but on the corporate
side, there was some company

1206
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:12,420
that bought a bunch of huge buy
of a bunch of tickets to some

1207
01:09:12,420 --> 01:09:15,600
Warriors game for the benefit of
some, you know, the firemen or

1208
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,030
something and then they called
you guys to unload them know,

1209
01:09:18,030 --> 01:09:20,880
they know they bought the
tickets, and then they they when

1210
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:25,410
you went to deliver something,
you you gave them a receipt. I

1211
01:09:25,410 --> 01:09:27,720
could I wish I could remember
the details it was too long ago

1212
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:29,700
but that you gave him the
receipt and then they they had

1213
01:09:29,700 --> 01:09:32,160
to return the tickets they
wouldn't pay and they kept half

1214
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:36,960
of the receipts so they lost it.
Oh, no. Yeah. So they kept it so

1215
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,480
they basically took it and I
mentioned this to my supervisor.

1216
01:09:39,480 --> 01:09:43,620
Oh yeah, those guys they do that
every year. And so but anyway,

1217
01:09:43,620 --> 01:09:48,660
so I was the number one sales
guy for one day, and digas like

1218
01:09:48,660 --> 01:09:51,810
just everybody was buying and
then of course the random number

1219
01:09:51,810 --> 01:09:56,070
theory came to pass it turns out
was just a random number event.

1220
01:09:56,430 --> 01:09:58,980
It because I was like couldn't
sell anything after that was

1221
01:09:58,980 --> 01:10:03,330
weird. But, but the thing about
old fashioned boiler rooms is

1222
01:10:03,330 --> 01:10:05,550
they weren't as noisy as the
ones today. So when these people

1223
01:10:05,550 --> 01:10:08,820
call you like this, let's call
it got you to pick it up. And it

1224
01:10:08,820 --> 01:10:12,210
sounds like they're at it at a
football stadium. I mean,

1225
01:10:12,210 --> 01:10:16,020
there's so much ambient noise.
Because these guys are so cheap,

1226
01:10:16,020 --> 01:10:17,670
they can't put people in a save
and

1227
01:10:17,670 --> 01:10:21,540
get good. Yeah, soundproof
booths are good headsets. And

1228
01:10:21,570 --> 01:10:24,090
they always wait, you know,
because they have systems in

1229
01:10:24,090 --> 01:10:27,450
place. Where if, if an answering
machine picks up they know it's

1230
01:10:27,450 --> 01:10:31,380
an answering machine, right? So
I'm always all if I get an

1231
01:10:31,380 --> 01:10:34,080
unidentified number, I'm always
trying to answer in one of those

1232
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:39,510
ways that I can pretend to be an
answering machine. Hello. And

1233
01:10:39,510 --> 01:10:45,150
then I wait. I'm not here right
now. If I say Hi, I'd like to

1234
01:10:45,150 --> 01:10:46,920
say something I'm not here right
now.

1235
01:10:48,510 --> 01:10:50,640
Here if you could have like some
hope that when you hit she hit a

1236
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:55,290
button but yeah, but anyway,
there's too much of this there

1237
01:10:55,290 --> 01:10:57,690
dude, these these collars there
and they're all done on the

1238
01:10:57,690 --> 01:11:00,630
obviously the same, you know,
computerised system that we're

1239
01:11:00,630 --> 01:11:03,060
wrapping through and you know,
then you always have the one

1240
01:11:03,060 --> 01:11:05,580
where it rings and you pick it
up and there's they never pick

1241
01:11:05,580 --> 01:11:09,750
it up. Because the the machine
has cycled on to the next number

1242
01:11:09,750 --> 01:11:12,330
somebody else picked up before
you did and then you have one

1243
01:11:12,330 --> 01:11:16,170
clerk that selling and and then
they always and then you have

1244
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:18,270
the other thing that's kind of
amusing is they all work off

1245
01:11:18,270 --> 01:11:21,810
scripts. Yeah. And so your
whatever you tell them that you

1246
01:11:21,810 --> 01:11:26,130
have a branch you know that if
he says no here, it didn't go to

1247
01:11:26,130 --> 01:11:28,290
page three and and then they
start picking up the script

1248
01:11:28,290 --> 01:11:30,810
again, and they start reading
it. And these guys are very

1249
01:11:30,810 --> 01:11:34,050
insistent in boiler rooms that
you read from the script. So my,

1250
01:11:34,530 --> 01:11:38,730
if I'm bored, once in a while,
I'll start to chat with the guy

1251
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:42,780
because I know it's killing him
and try to get him off script as

1252
01:11:42,780 --> 01:11:47,010
best I can. So I had this guy
call me a couple of weeks ago,

1253
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:52,800
selling of all things wine. Oh
boy. And so I hope

1254
01:11:52,860 --> 01:11:54,840
you are the wrong guy that call
on that day.

1255
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:58,050
Well, the guy was a jerk too.
And I looked up this company and

1256
01:11:58,050 --> 01:12:00,360
I should look it up and tell
everybody what it is because he

1257
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:03,540
ever get called by these guys is
places ridiculous they sell

1258
01:12:03,900 --> 01:12:08,040
unknown this was in this case,
it was an unknown little known

1259
01:12:08,070 --> 01:12:10,890
Grob wine, which is one of the
cheapest wines you can get in

1260
01:12:10,890 --> 01:12:15,720
the Bordeaux area that typically
any Grob and the absolute best

1261
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:21,000
year. If you pay 20 bucks, you
pay too much. And generally

1262
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:26,400
speaking get them for 12 bucks a
decent bottle and he had some

1263
01:12:26,430 --> 01:12:29,670
grovelling and he was picked by
this guy and famous guy and this

1264
01:12:29,670 --> 01:12:33,330
and that and he went on and
under $35 A bottle and you

1265
01:12:33,330 --> 01:12:39,270
should buy five cases. Five
cases I don't even ever heard of

1266
01:12:39,270 --> 01:12:44,460
this winery. Stocks last and the
guys really add him in oil. I

1267
01:12:44,460 --> 01:12:46,350
don't think you know anything
about wine. That's the problem

1268
01:12:46,350 --> 01:12:50,220
is you did you'd buy this Brian
immediately. You know, it washes

1269
01:12:50,250 --> 01:12:55,350
washes by a case. You know, I'm
thinking like I was baffled by

1270
01:12:55,350 --> 01:12:57,870
the fact that so now I'd like to
taste the wines I get there's a

1271
01:12:57,870 --> 01:13:00,600
lot of white wine stores all
around me that get better deals

1272
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:04,440
in this by a lot. And he went on
and on and on and on in any she

1273
01:13:04,440 --> 01:13:07,890
Junie did he became like the I
think he had a supervisor

1274
01:13:08,220 --> 01:13:12,840
watching him because he will I
couldn't get rid of him. And he

1275
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:17,160
you know, I had to actually hang
up at some point. And so he was

1276
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:21,360
obviously being tested. Somebody
was watching him is every move.

1277
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:24,300
So did you actually get to lay
in the room? Did he?

1278
01:13:26,970 --> 01:13:30,510
scam and you know all you don't
know anything about anything?

1279
01:13:30,510 --> 01:13:33,810
And he always had some sort of
snarky answer and he got he got

1280
01:13:33,810 --> 01:13:36,960
mad at me for being an idiot.
You know, this is a sales thing

1281
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:40,140
where the universe is sweet talk
to person and you change your

1282
01:13:40,140 --> 01:13:42,510
mind your approach because you
never know some people might

1283
01:13:42,510 --> 01:13:46,080
like to be abused. So as a last
ditch effort, you start

1284
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:48,720
insulting the person and maybe
Okay, I'll buy I'll buy stop

1285
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:51,300
insulting me. I don't know what
that's after.

1286
01:13:51,300 --> 01:13:56,100
Remember that next time I'm at
an advertising ad. Hey, you

1287
01:13:56,130 --> 01:13:59,040
idiot. You don't know how good
we are. You don't even deserve

1288
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:01,050
to be advertising in our
programming dammit.

1289
01:14:02,580 --> 01:14:06,420
So anyway, and then the guy said
something else. And I said, I

1290
01:14:06,420 --> 01:14:10,920
said well, I say Can I buy and I
just hung up on him because I

1291
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:13,290
couldn't take it anymore.
Because he was not going to get

1292
01:14:13,500 --> 01:14:15,930
he wasn't going to recognise the
fact that I wasn't going to buy

1293
01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:19,290
a under any circumstances. And
he was wasting his own time he

1294
01:14:19,290 --> 01:14:22,260
supposed to be making money as a
salesperson. I had to assume

1295
01:14:22,260 --> 01:14:24,570
that there was somebody he was
just being trained or something.

1296
01:14:24,570 --> 01:14:27,450
I don't know what it was. But if
anyone out there ever gets a

1297
01:14:27,450 --> 01:14:32,760
phone call about wine, do not
ever buy wine from some

1298
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:42,600
solicitor online you're going to
get ripped off all right, man. I

1299
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:45,510
think we're done. Yeah, we could
be done.

1300
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:49,830
I do want to remind everybody
that seeing and this is the the

1301
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:53,820
holiday season. Please since you
probably can't find it on

1302
01:14:53,820 --> 01:14:56,640
television anymore. Maybe maybe
one or two stations still

1303
01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:58,710
running but you should
definitely have a look at It's A

1304
01:14:58,710 --> 01:15:05,820
Wonderful Life. With Jimmy
Stewart very recognisable story

1305
01:15:05,820 --> 01:15:06,480
these days.

1306
01:15:09,030 --> 01:15:12,600
So we have some T shirts by the
way, our front we do not our

1307
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:14,070
friend at angry shirts

1308
01:15:15,269 --> 01:15:17,579
is oh from angry fair calm.

1309
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:23,340
Yeah, go to english.com you
actually go to no agenda? Yeah,

1310
01:15:23,370 --> 01:15:25,350
dots got angry shirts.

1311
01:15:25,650 --> 01:15:30,750
really.com Yeah. Okay, this
whole mess up the connection.

1312
01:15:30,750 --> 01:15:35,370
Oh, I see. 1695

1313
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:38,100
Yeah. Hey,

1314
01:15:38,310 --> 01:15:40,950
I like the logo. Let me just
copy that we get now we have a

1315
01:15:40,950 --> 01:15:41,370
logo.

1316
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:43,830
Yeah, he said he sent me a note
saying, you know, I just made a

1317
01:15:43,830 --> 01:15:46,560
bold logo because you guys
apparently don't have one. But

1318
01:15:46,590 --> 01:15:50,520
we do know. It's true. We do
now. Great. So it's

1319
01:15:51,540 --> 01:15:55,770
pretty funny. Like these. What
is this proud citizen of Gitmo

1320
01:15:55,770 --> 01:15:57,360
nation? That's funny. I like it.

1321
01:15:57,420 --> 01:16:00,840
Yeah. So do and I decided what
we should do is you're going to

1322
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:04,350
bring a commemorative t shirt,
these are limited editions,

1323
01:16:04,470 --> 01:16:07,650
we're going to roll them out for
a month or two maybe. And then

1324
01:16:07,650 --> 01:16:10,110
we're going to just do a new one
and newer, and the old ones are

1325
01:16:10,110 --> 01:16:12,870
going to be discontinued and is
going to you know, hopefully,

1326
01:16:13,620 --> 01:16:15,510
they can get people to collect
them.

1327
01:16:15,930 --> 01:16:19,350
So here's the only thing
shouldn't there be a URL or

1328
01:16:19,350 --> 01:16:22,620
something or someplace to go to
maybe on the back of the t

1329
01:16:22,620 --> 01:16:24,210
shirt? Is it only on the front
now we're

1330
01:16:24,210 --> 01:16:26,970
gonna get that one and it makes
it that way. i This is a test. I

1331
01:16:26,970 --> 01:16:29,130
just want to do something
simple. So it would be you know,

1332
01:16:29,130 --> 01:16:31,320
people would wonder what it
wasn't an as you might have to

1333
01:16:31,350 --> 01:16:34,650
ask the guy wearing the shirt.
What the hell is that? What do

1334
01:16:34,650 --> 01:16:37,140
you mean proud? Nation? What are
you talking about?

1335
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:40,650
proud citizen of what? What is
this?

1336
01:16:40,950 --> 01:16:44,820
So then they said, Well, there's
a pod shown him no agenda you

1337
01:16:44,820 --> 01:16:48,690
can go to, you can find
it@curry.com And you know, blah,

1338
01:16:48,690 --> 01:16:54,090
blah, blah. Dork dork.org get
dark Dev org.org/blog I guess

1339
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:55,620
you could have put that on
there. But no.

1340
01:16:57,420 --> 01:17:02,850
All right, man. You really got
to turn on your speaker next

1341
01:17:02,850 --> 01:17:05,790
time. I get a lot of slap back.
It's interesting. You don't use

1342
01:17:05,790 --> 01:17:06,420
headphones.

1343
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:10,560
I do use headphones when I do
the tech five and some other

1344
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:13,980
stuff it would when I'm doing
these back and forth podcasts

1345
01:17:13,980 --> 01:17:17,160
that it's just easier for me not
to

1346
01:17:18,810 --> 01:17:20,010
I should try that next time.

1347
01:17:22,890 --> 01:17:25,560
And it's an hour and 10 minutes
and you know, is it with the

1348
01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:28,260
headphones on? I mean, it's just
like your ears gets sweaty, you

1349
01:17:28,260 --> 01:17:29,040

01:17:31,590 --> 01:17:35,460
full of fungus and get mo nation
