Starting in the Trades, Dead Man's Switches

Alright, welcome to the Canary in the Cage podcast. I'm Ron Morgan, my co-host.

Dave Havlicek. We're here to entertain you, educate you, and maybe even hopefully make

you laugh. So what's going on, Dave?

I don't know. What's going on?

Well, Corey Booker. Let's talk about him.

Oh, he set a record.

Yeah. You think he listened to our show last week?

No, I...

Well, didn't we give advice on senators how to talk for 24 hours without going to the

bathroom?

Did we?

Yeah. Remember I said that...

Oh, yeah. Well, that was two weeks ago, wasn't it?

Oh, two weeks ago. Yeah, I would install the little vacuum tube.

Yeah, yeah.

Shit on the cow's desk.

So do you think you had a catheter in?

I don't know.

I remember that he did.

He was kind of squirming a little bit.

Yeah, because there was a 28 minute video I wasn't going to watch that how he avoided

going to the bathroom for 24 hours.

So I didn't hear about that.

Like I didn't listen to the speech, obviously.

Like I don't know.

I'm not listening to this fucking guy.

There was no reason for it.

But yeah, what, what bill was he filibustering?

He was a filibustering.

What do you mean?

He was just talking.

Why?

I don't know. No one knows.

Well, Corey Booker is a Democrat.

Why are they even allowed to do that?

I don't know.

OK.

I just thought maybe he listened to the show and he wanted to test out the theory.

Then just prove he can do it.

Like, hey, you fuckers, now if we do have a bill,

we'll see what you're going to get.

Yeah, maybe it was intimidation.

But like I said, fuck it, write it out, people.

It's only 24 hours.

Wow.

Just just bring whoever's sitting

closest to him, bring two cups of water and just pour the water back between the cups.

Not a bad idea.

They can fill his diaper up or fill it

because the catheter back can only hold so much.

Well, now I know that if it's a filibuster and you leave the floor,

you can't come back on the floor.

Right.

But if he's just talking, I don't know.

You can leave and come back, right?

I was trying to look that up, actually.

And I couldn't find it because I don't think

I think I've been done before.

Huh.

No one's ever just got up and said, hi, I'm going to talk for 24 hours.

Weird.

For no reason.

Is he on drugs?

I mean, he is a Democrat.

They act like they're on drugs.

OK.

I yeah, it's odd.

I just thought it was funny because I'm like, we literally just talked about

doing that and how to handle the bathroom situation.

Although I didn't see the pizza delivered.

You had to do this for going after this for going.

You know, here did.

You have to.

I mean, how do you sit in room 24 hours and not think of the Fast and the Rich

Monhide? I don't know.

So for you younger folks, I don't think you've seen it.

Yeah.

Fast and the Rich Monhide is a very funny movie from the 80s.

Sean Penn's in it, but don't let that deter you.

Well, that was his first movie, I think.

It might have been.

Well, yeah, he was definitely.

Uh, I think Bad Boys was his first movie.

Well, Fast and the Rich Monhide was 1980 on the dot.

That might have been his first.

It was actually the first movie for a lot of big stars.

Judge Reinhold?

Judge Reinhold, Forrest Whitaker.

Oh, Forrest Whitaker.

Yeah.

Phoebe Kate, although I don't know if it was her first movie or not.

Yeah.

I'm sure they who are in that movie.

But you know, she's in the most famous, uh, spicy scene of all time in that movie.

Is that what they're probably talking about?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Back in the day, we actually shot boobs in movies.

I don't know if they do that.

Are they sort of that movies?

I don't think so.

Did the little mermaid, did the little mermaid pop her boobs out?

I don't, I don't think so.

If she would have, they would have had more ticket sales.

Yeah, maybe even.

Apparently that movie box.

Yeah.

I got to be a shoe.

Is she above age?

Am I asking?

I didn't raise her.

I don't care.

If you boobs away, I don't want to see them.

Just in case.

Go watch Fast Time to Riz Monay.

Yeah.

And since we're on movies, we did lose Val Kilmer.

Uh, yes.

Yes, we did.

That's the shame.

We lost Doc Holiday.

Yeah.

The best Doc Holiday, uh, actor I've ever seen.

Oh yeah.

He was, he was in it.

We, I was actually thinking about this the other day.

He had like the reverse trajectory that most actors do.

Okay.

He had like his first movie was Top Secret.

Oh, that's true.

And, um, then he did Real Genius.

Like Real Genius is what I think.

And, um, what was next?

Uh, he top gun.

Yeah.

So like he had all his big hits right away early on.

Well, it's because he, it's where he was jumping good looking.

And then he like petered out and kind of did some goofy shit.

And he got fat.

Yeah.

Well, I think that was related to his cancer.

Like he had a shitload of cancers.

Um, I know, cause he was in the remake of Top Gun.

And they had to make a combination because he can't, he couldn't talk

about it.

Right.

Right.

So, but they, yeah, they left him in there.

Uh, and you know who got mad about that?

Who was a female lead in Top Gun?

The original one.

Uh, Kelly Degos?

Yeah.

She got mad cause she wasn't allowed.

Oh, really?

She wasn't, well, I mean, sorry, but women and men age differently.

Sorry.

I mean, she's a great actress.

Um, although Ellen Arkin, have you seen her?

No.

She's in a TV series where she was, it was probably the late teens.

She's like 65 or 66.

Yeah.

Hmm.

She, she looked good.

Well, she didn't look weird.

Do you remember Don Wells?

You know, Don Wells is?

Or was she died too?

A couple of years ago.

Who was that?

She was Marianne on Gilligan Island.

That's okay.

That's right.

Yeah.

She was, she died like 86 or something.

Really?

She was still hot at 86.

Yeah.

Oh, she, oh, she died at 86 years old.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

In the 2000s she died and she was still pretty fucking good looking.

Yeah.

I was watching Animal Kingdom on Netflix and it's a, I think it's a TNT TV show.

And, uh, they started calling his grandma, coming in and Alan Harkin showed up.

I'm like, what the fuck?

But because, I mean, you look at Melanie Griffith, Griffin, whatever.

She was very attractive in her younger years and they apparently she decided to

get plastic surgery to keep her attractive.

Yeah.

It makes it weird.

Yeah.

I, if Alan Harkin had plastic surgery, by all means.

I mean, like if you find the right guy and you, you don't overdo it, it probably

works, but they always overdo it.

You know what I mean?

Like they can't stop.

The lips.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But yeah, I was like, damn.

But yeah, go watch Top Secret.

If you, Top Secret is the under, under appreciated Zuckerman brothers movie.

I would say real genius is under appreciated movies.

A lot of people know about real genius.

I love real genius.

It is great, but Top Secret is so fucking hilarious.

Yeah.

Like the gags in there, it's just non-stop.

That was just like pure comedy.

Yeah.

It was.

And so Val Kilmer, he plays a 1950s style rock artist.

Okay.

Elvis Presley clone.

And he has all his own singing in the movie.

So he has a couple of musical numbers.

He sings himself.

Well, he played Jim Morrison.

The doors did.

Yes.

Yes, he did.

Did he sing in that one too?

I didn't think he did.

Yeah.

I saw it, but I don't, I don't remember.

I guess after we watched that.

Yeah.

No, I mean, Val Kilmer, I mean, honestly, I mean, even he, he played the, the bad guy

in Top God.

If there is a bad guy, but he was amazing.

I mean, um, I mean, but he, but honestly, I, I can't get past Tomson and Doc

Holliday.

Yeah.

He, yeah, he was the, he stole the show on that one.

Oh, so, cause you know what his favorite, famous lines was, I'm your Huckleberry.

Yeah.

Do you know that may have been a misinterpreted word?

Really?

Well, I thought that real Doc Holliday actually said that.

Well, it's a misinterpreted word.

I believe it was supposed to be, I mean, a Huckleberry, bearer, bearer.

Huckleberry.

Does that mean?

Bearer.

Uh, the, the handle, the handle's on a casket.

Ah, okay.

So I'll be, I'll be carrying you to your grave.

So that kind of makes sense.

Um, but then somebody like, no, no, it's Huckleberry.

It's Huckleberry because that's fucking funny and hysterical.

Huckleberry doesn't really flow.

Um, but yeah, no, I mean, Doc Holliday in, in Tombstone was, you know, so I, weird,

when I lived in Colorado, guess where I went?

The, uh, uh, Doc Holliday's grave.

He's Colorado?

Yeah.

So when he left Tombstone, he had tuberculosis.

Okay.

And he went up to, uh, not Glendale, Colorado.

Um, oh, it's just on the, at the base of the Western slope.

Uh, if you, if you're going down, uh, 70 and you go through Aspen, when it kind of

levels off, there's a Glendale spring, something like that.

I have no idea.

Uh, that's where he's buried at because he died at the, the TV.

So I'm thinking it's 19, it's 20, 18, 17.

I'm thinking, well, let's go.

Should be crowded.

Yeah.

It's fucking crowded, dude.

I don't see why not.

I mean, it's Doc Holliday's grave and that's really all there is.

Well, they got a big sign and, but who, who else besides me?

I can see the, the influx of people after.

I never even noticed.

No, I didn't know I was there because I've driven that, that route.

If you've been on, I, yeah, you drove pretty much past where he's, where he's buried at.

Interesting.

Um, but yeah, it was just, it was odd because what it was is I, uh, lived in Colorado, the

Eastern slope.

I had a friend from high school who lived on the Western slope and I'm like, well,

why don't we meet and I go, I want to see Doc Holliday's grave, but we'll just meet

and have lunch after they say, I'll bring my family.

We'll go up with you because you gotta walk up a hill.

So I think, okay, cool.

But it was literally like, legitimately busy.

And there's no other reason except to see his grave.

Yeah.

There's not like an ice cream store there.

There's not, you know, wait, there's no ice cream store there.

Well, there might be somewhere.

I'm going to start an ice cream store.

The Doc Holliday's a Huckleberry ice cream.

Huckleberry.

Huckleberry ice cream.

So yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't know what truly what word was supposed to be

said because it's, it's a big controversy and everybody argues over it.

I don't care.

Well, so he, um, Doc Holliday was a college educated person.

Who's a dentist?

Um, so he would know all those references, but the people who recorded what he said

might not have got that reference.

Right.

So who knows?

Yeah, we don't know.

Cause I mean, Huckleberry is, is does it flow like Huckleberry does?

Yeah.

I mean, Huckleberry.

Yeah.

So I don't know.

Well, it could be one of those things where, where like the phrase itself morphs over time.

Yeah.

I know.

I guess I was the interesting fact.

So, um, there you go.

But yeah, what else?

What is it?

Uh, oh, it's not Valcoma related, but Wyatt Earp came out around the same time as

Tombstone.

Yes.

Did you see Wyatt Earp?

I don't think I did.

You gotta, we gotta watch because the guy who played Doc Holiday there is probably

the second best Doc Holiday.

Well, how many are there?

Oh no, dude, there's, I mean, if you go back to the seventies, there's tons of

Doc Holiday movies.

Uh, all right.

What if there's that many?

Oh, yeah.

I don't know, man.

Dude, there was a, there was a Doc Holiday casino in Colorado.

Yeah, but like it wasn't.

It built, building the kid Doc Holiday, Wyatt Earp.

The building kid, there's a lot of those.

Because they're, they're, they're the ones who made famous out of the Wild West.

Yeah.

Did you know Morgan Earp was the sheriff just up in the,

Yeah, I think we talked about that.

Oh yeah, I think we did.

So yeah, no, but yeah, I mean, certain people got famous in the old West, uh,

bad, bad masters and not real famous, but he came out with some, he was, he was

part of the Tombstone crowd.

Oh, okay.

He was actually, I believe he was a deputy in, uh, Dodge City with, uh, uh,

Wyatt Earp.

But my point is, is there's not a whole lot of, of famous people that came out of

the, the Wild West.

Right.

So they made movies, Wild West movies were popular.

So we, they, they, they made that a bit of movie named Doc Holiday, but Doc Holiday

is it a, was the character was in a lot of movies.

Look it up.

In fact, it's at least a hundred plus.

Ah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna take the under on that for sure.

Okay.

I mean, we're talking about since movies were created.

Yeah, I know.

Hey, I'm one of the first, you know, like Westerns were so popular early on.

Yeah.

Why?

Because people remembered the Westerns.

So like when, when people make movies, they tend to make movies about their

childhood.

Yeah.

And when movies started, started coming out, their childhood was the West.

Yeah.

Because the Wyatt Earp, I think he died in like 1930s or something.

Like he died.

Yeah.

Well, into like, um, people that are so alive today.

Yeah.

So, so yeah, when, when you see movies coming out today that are like remakes of

80s movies, it's cause the writers grew up in the 80s.

Okay.

And then the same, the same thing as like the old West.

Seriously misinterpreted the 80s.

Well, you know, there's a lot of leftist bullshit that, that they got to get

through anyway, but I mean, like we talked about, there's a couple that do it

right.

So, so speaking of Disney against it, I'll bring that back up.

So if they were to remake Tarzan.

Yeah.

Do you remember?

Would they replace him with a black man?

I don't think so.

Because what's his, what's his like, what's the tagline of the Tarzan movie?

Uh, I don't know.

I never watched that.

He swung from trees.

Yeah.

And it was something to do with, I guess it's like, it's, um, like

an eight man or monkey man.

Yeah.

Tarzan, like there's the eight man.

Oh Tarzan, the eight man.

Yeah.

Do you think they'll put a black man in this place?

Uh, I don't, I don't think they're gonna remake Tarzan.

I think that was just in the vault.

Yeah.

They're like, okay, we can't, we can't spin this one people.

Yeah.

No, I think Disney has realized that the world movies are done.

I don't know if they have.

I just saw a trailer today.

They're remaking, well it's not Disney, but they're remaking the naked gun with

Liam Neeson.

Um, there was a Disney one that they, they,

Wait, Disney owns Naked Gun?

No, no, I'm saying that wasn't, that's not Disney, but it's just endemic of the

whole thing.

How are they going to do Naked Gun?

Dude, the trailer came out, it was, it's fine.

And then I saw, I chuckled a little bit, but like it's not Leslie Neilson.

And that's my, like, like, Rodehouse.

Rodehouse is, is one of my favorite movies.

Hands down, I don't care.

Um, I, I, I have, I have tried to, I think I've tried this before.

I, I took scenes from that movie and tried to rub them in my life with

humor and I did a lot of them.

But the Rodehouse too was a great movie.

Why didn't it Rodehouse?

It didn't need the name to draw yet.

I mean, it was, it was just a solid movie, but it didn't need to be Rodehouse.

So I just, the remakes, I don't think Disney's ever going to learn.

Ah, their investors have got to be like, seriously guys, your, your

imagery money.

I don't think it's about the money.

Like if you are part of the, what's the, what's the Bohemian Grove group?

If you're, if you're in that crowd, like you don't do things for money.

You do what you're told to push the agenda.

Yeah, but I think they take care of you when you do it.

Yeah.

But I'm sure the USAID was giving Disney money.

They're so good.

They take that checks and they'll find another way around that.

Like it's, it's not, it's not going to stick.

Yeah.

I mean, like we were talking about it off the show where dumbass Trump signed

the CR, which refunds USAID, right?

So yeah, it does.

Everything that Congress loves and, and that Doge is doing was in that CR.

They're just going to fund it again next year.

Well, that, that's not going to be the ruling bill for much longer.

Yeah.

Okay.

He's going to eat by their, by their story that they have a big bill that's

going to fix everything.

They say that every two fucking years.

Come on.

Stop falling for it.

Trump is the one doing stuff outside the box.

So I'll give him some leeway.

I gave Pam Bonnie leeway.

She let me down.

I'm giving RFK leeway.

He's fucking on the down.

He's on the slope going down.

Cash Patel is doing okay, but still want to see some mug shots.

Well, no, I mean, they promised all this stuff and I want to see it.

It's not going to happen.

Well, I mean, it didn't happen.

We got Ross.

We got Ross freed and the J6 is free.

That's all we got.

Well, he lives Congress in two years and we'll see about Vance in four years.

I mean, they got to do what they say.

Terrible.

Because it's, we are, we're at the point now where do it or fucking be gone.

So let's see what happens.

I mean, we had the victories in Florida.

We got, you think we lost Wisconsin?

I don't think so because we got voter ID.

We did get the liberal judge in the Supreme court, but it was she replaced the

liberal judge.

So it's a, it's a wash for me.

And Wisconsin Supreme court can't affect my life.

I don't think I would go back to Wisconsin.

I've been to Wisconsin a lot because it's big in Chicago and yeah, but I don't,

I don't see me going back there.

Definitely not.

So every time the story of the buddy of mine in Colorado, he was going to

Wisconsin for January for his national guard training.

No.

And he lived in Colorado.

Colorado, you can see minus 20 degrees all the time.

Yeah.

Up above the mountains.

It's nothing.

And he goes, yeah, I'm going to spend some time in the great lakes in Wisconsin.

I go, take some warm clothes with you.

And he goes, why?

I'm used to cold rod.

I go, you're not used to that kind of cold.

Yeah.

And he goes, no, I'll be fine.

I go, okay, I warned you.

He came back.

He goes, what the fuck was that cold?

That's a wet cold dude.

You're right by Lake Michigan.

That's just cold.

Don't tell me you can handle minus 20 in Colorado and you can't handle minus

five in fucking Wisconsin.

Not the same at all.

So, uh, so there's a school in Long Island that's still woke.

Okay.

And they, they, they got rid of their mascot.

Yeah.

Cause it was in Indian.

Oh, okay.

And they reprised it with a Spartan.

Okay.

Is that, is that a problem for you?

I was with the NCAA.

Why?

Spartans are a sign of white supremacy.

What?

Don't fucking doubt it.

Are Spartans even really whites?

I mean, like they're Greek, I guess, but is that, is our Greek people white?

I don't know.

I have no clue, dude.

I mean, like they have the greasy hair.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Olive colored skin.

We might have Greek listeners.

They don't have greasy hair.

They have greasy bodies.

Why do you think it's called Greece?

Why, why is it, why, why is anal sex, why is anal sex to refer to as Greek?

Hmm.

Might want to look at some of those, uh, war years later on the field.

How is, I just like, well, okay, what, what should the mascot be then?

What are the, what are the, I don't like.

I don't know.

I, I read that as I'm like, well, that's fucking stupid.

Yeah.

And uh,

Why can't we have Indian man like, is, well, wait, wait, wait, hold on a second.

It's a Spartan is indicative of white supremacy.

Wouldn't an Indian be Indian supremacy?

Yeah.

And therefore good.

Yeah, I don't know.

So why can't we have the Indian mascot?

Wait, there was a movie I just thought about I am Spartan.

Was that like Bill Gibson or something?

Are they, are they?

Oh, Spartacus.

That's Spartacus.

Oh, Spartacus.

Okay.

I wonder if they confused the movie with reality.

Maybe a white guy playing a Spartan in a movie and they see that one.

He goes, well, that's what it's a white guy.

Instead of being a great guy.

Well, but Spartacus was Roman.

No, no, I've been Spartan.

Yeah.

I, I, I moved off my rise.

It was a different word.

He says those squiggly lines all formed together really confused me.

It's stupid dude.

It's New York.

They're still woke.

They're trying to get a, trying to get past that.

What was your high school mascot?

Sabers.

Sabers?

Like the sword?

Yeah.

Or the cat.

Oh, okay.

So I went to two high schools.

Yeah.

What sort of guy?

Okay.

So my, my first high school, my first week, we were the dragons.

Okay.

So that's not racist I guess.

What?

You're going to let that one fly?

I don't understand.

So,

dragging my balls on your face?

Well, I don't, what?

So the, I went to my first year in high school as an Indiana.

And I was in a small town outside of Indianapolis.

And the, the Klan donated the land to the high school.

Oh God.

And the mascot had to be the dragon.

The head of the Klan is called the dragon.

I don't know.

Wow.

So, so, but, but there's a book called called a sundown towns.

Yeah.

And my wife was reading it one day.

She goes, honey.

Yep.

What high school did you go to Indiana?

I go, you reading that book?

She goes, yep.

I go, yep.

That's the one.

That's it.

Wow.

Oh yeah.

No, it was, it was, yeah.

Dragons and.

And then the saber.

So we had a, we may have had like a pirate dressed up for the saber.

I don't, I forget exactly what our like mascot actually looked like.

So we were, mine was Vikings and Chargers.

So like, no, nothing really.

Vikings can be like white people.

Vikings raped and, and, and, and plundered.

Yeah.

I don't really know what a charger is.

Is there, is it a RAM?

Because it's a.

Well, we have, look at the symbol was the lightning bolt.

So.

Oh, because the Chargers and, which are not LA Chargers.

I have no idea.

They were St. Louis Chargers.

They were the San Diego Chargers.

They, they've got the, the, the RAM like.

Would they be the Rams?

Because there's a team called the Rams.

Oh, maybe I'm confusing the Rams.

One of the Chargers.

Oh, maybe it is an electric, a lightning bolt.

Well, I don't, I don't want football.

Charged, like, is it like a Tesla charger?

Like, why is that a mascot?

I don't get it.

What is a charger?

I don't know.

How can that be a mascot?

I mean, like there's a bad, like in battle, you can be charging the other.

Oh yeah.

I get the reverence of using the word, but how is it a mascot?

Yeah, I don't, I don't know.

I don't know who came up with that shit.

It's like, it's like, uh, the, the runnings, the runners.

Right.

I, it's, it's stupid.

Okay.

Well, let's talk about liberation day.

God.

It's not getting to hold a bait on terrorist, good terrorist bad.

I don't feel liberated.

Well, let, well, I agree.

What history determined a tariffs?

To me, liberation day meant more than tariffs because, because it all reality,

the tariffs are not going to help the American part, the American individual right now.

It could in the future help us if income taxes are banned.

What do they do?

There is a path to help another American people with this.

It's a, it's a small path.

Nope.

Okay.

If income tax are banned because the tariffs, that's a good thing, right?

That's the path.

Okay.

That's fine.

That's fine.

But just do the tariffs on liberation day.

Hype is all up and he is all excited about something good is coming out.

We're going to do tariffs on it.

Well, we can do that already.

What are you supposed to do?

Like the tax on tips and that that's actually sitting in the Senate and they're refusing

to vote on apparently and they're not going on recess either, which is weird.

I wonder why they're not going on recess.

Fire, I hope you got played dodgeball.

I think you got beat up at recess.

No.

Oh, you weren't, you were picked.

I was really good at dodgeball actually.

Huh.

Not even get picked on.

You didn't want to fuck with me in dodgeball.

So cut us.

So since we're on politics, let's talk about Congress.

Have you heard about the two week shutdown of Congress of the house?

No.

Yeah.

Senator, oh Jesus, Speaker Johnson just shut it down for two weeks.

Good.

Ironically, it butts up to the two weeks of Easter break.

Okay.

But do you know why he shut it down?

So they had a bunch of bills to pass and one of the, a bunch of the EOs that Trump

had signed were supposed to be codified, I think.

And the first bill they brought up, or the first bill they were going to bring up,

Johnson doesn't want to talk about it and doesn't want it to pass.

So what is her name?

Anna Paulina.

Okay.

She wants to be able to vote from home.

Oh yeah.

Yeah, I saw that.

But she has a baby.

Yeah.

She's a baby.

Okay.

So resign.

Right.

Do you know there's free child care for Congress members?

Yeah.

Yeah.

But she wants to stay at home.

I don't like, then why'd you run?

I don't get it.

Yeah, I don't, I don't get this either.

This is bullshit.

I mean, do your fucking job, you have enough time off.

And actually, if you actually-

Bring the baby to work.

What the fuck?

I mean, there's a bunch of crying babies on this.

They just fit in like Bernie Sanders.

I mean, they'll just be like, you know, somebody will be like, was that Bernie Sanders?

No, that was an infant.

Oh, well, looked and sounded like him.

I mean, they're half of them are poop with their pants.

Like, you want none of the difference.

Right.

So, yeah, I don't know.

I just, I'm just like, really?

But apparently it's a big issue now.

And now people are like, oh, she has rights because she has a baby.

No, she doesn't.

No, you know, you have public servants.

She's prepping legs.

She popped out a fucking kid and she wants to be in the house.

You're a public servant.

Serve.

Yep.

Do your job.

Or shut it all down and just go the fuck home.

All of you, all of you, all of you, all of you, all of you.

Right.

You can leave.

You can quit at any time, you're a slave.

Oh, but one of the other bills was to go out to the federal judges that are fucking with Trump.

So, I don't, like, obviously a lot of these judges are out of control,

but I don't think Congress can do it.

Like, they don't have any authority.

They can defund the federal, they can defund federal judges.

What does that mean?

You have no money.

You can't, you can't have a court if you have no money.

No one pays the life bill.

Okay, maybe.

No one pays the bailiff.

Yeah.

Okay.

And I'm not saying defund the entire federal system.

I'm saying the judges that are forced who are...

Well, you can't do it based on rulings you don't like.

I think they can defund.

Well, first of all, it's not a ruling when it's...

Well, you can't, you can't target specific courts or judges.

They have no power to do what they're doing.

Right, but I'm saying like the Congress cannot target that way.

And fuck it, defund them all.

Yeah, you have to do all or nothing.

I think they can do different districts though.

I do believe they can defund.

Right, well, they would have to justify it using like population numbers or something.

It's unprecedented.

I don't know, but they need to do something.

And apparently they're not going to.

I mean, like just, well, here's the other problem, right?

Like, let's say you make it illegal to rule on something you have no authority.

Well, there's already rules against that and they just disobey those rules.

Right.

Like who gives a fuck?

Like the judges, the Congress has no enforcement mechanism.

So they can impeach the judges.

That's what they should do.

Yeah, well, why aren't they impeaching, right?

I don't know.

They don't have the numbers a lot of time.

Like it's a big mess.

Honestly, like I don't mind the whole gridlock, right?

Oh, yeah.

That's the intention of the founders is to make it gridlockable.

But like, I don't understand Trump.

Just, just like, don't obey them.

You don't have to obey.

If a judge says, you have to have trans people and nothing.

No, no, I don't.

Yeah, that's, yeah, that's, head, heads, whatever his name is.

The guy that turns the military.

Yeah.

He's, yeah, he's, he's fighting back on that.

The whole idea of having trans people in the military was an executive order.

So like, you're telling me you can't reverse that?

What are you talking about?

Of course you can't.

It's fucking bizarre.

You accept it.

He's the commander in chief of the military.

He sets the standards.

It doesn't make any sense.

Like, just ignore the judge.

It's, it's bizarre politics right now.

Speaking of that, remember the signal chat thing we talked about last week?

You know, that became, that came to an abrupt end.

Really?

Well, they do just drop it because they got a bigger story.

Oh yeah?

Do you know what the bigger story was?

No.

Trump goes, I think I could run for a third term.

Oh, that one.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They literally just dropped every fucking news story, like, drop everything.

And he's like, they'll run.

And they're like, he says he can run.

Well, no, but the reality is a Democrat judge was on a TV show and she spelled it out how he could

legally do it.

Um, I, again, it's a Democrat fucking judge.

So I don't know.

I didn't listen to it because I don't want it to happen.

I'm not in support of it.

I want him to be president right now.

I don't want him to even have the option of running again because I don't want him to

pander to the fucking voters.

I want him to just fucking grab a chainsaw with Elon Musk and just fucking take down DC.

What's, what's this legend, man?

Because like, you, I mean, apparently, so presidents in the past have had more than two terms.

Only, only FDR.

I thought there was one back in the 18.

Nope.

It was legal, but nobody did it.

Okay.

So it was just one.

Yeah.

FDRs only got it.

Did it.

And then they passed it.

Amid the 22nd amendment.

Yes.

They passed that and it says only two terms.

Yes.

I don't know what the verbiage actually is.

It says no, he shall not serve two terms.

And the term is counted as, um, I believe.

Is the word consecutive in there at all?

No.

So he can't, because I mean, technically his two terms were split apart.

Yeah, it doesn't matter.

So it was too consecutive to you.

I don't know because I don't care because I don't want him to run another term.

And I found it very funny.

And when the signal chatter just went away, I'm like, the fucking guy, that's why he did it.

It had to be.

I mean, he was.

He can't be serious.

There's no way he's serious.

No, his age would prevent.

Like, yeah.

He people are fought.

He has a shit coaster in real life.

That's what he's saying.

They haven't figured it out yet.

These fucking Democrats are just like, oh, he's going to run for a third

term.

We got to stop.

He's not ready for a third term.

Here's the thing.

He can run for a third term.

He just can't win.

He can't win.

Or he could win, but he can't be put into office because that's what the word is saying.

Okay.

So could he be Vance's VP pick?

I think it covers VP as well.

Oh, I think you're, no, no, I think we talked about this once.

I think, I think we figured out that if he was the VP and the president died, then it

was just jumped his figure in the house.

That's most likely what would happen.

I think, I think that's what, yeah.

Okay.

Because, because I don't know if you saw the meme, they want to run Trump against, I

think Trump said it actually.

He wants to run against Obama.

Talk about a term that lost its side.

Now that would be interesting.

So like, let's, let's say, because you're allowed to run, right?

Because it says you shall not serve.

Yeah.

So let's say Trump and Obama both run for the major parties.

So, so we're talking about current, current Obama.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

No, no, no, because Obama before, he went out,

it stopped for Harris, I think we're going to fight and chant.

Well, it doesn't matter because there's two, there's two major parties.

So let's say Trump runs for the Republicans and Obama runs for the Democrats.

What happens?

Is there a voter ID?

Doesn't matter.

Well, it does because it's cheating.

No, it doesn't.

It doesn't, like, what happens, because one of them is probably going to win, right?

Right.

Oh, I see.

They're not going to vote for the libertarians.

You're not asking who would win.

You're asking what would happen if one of them.

Yeah.

Ah.

Um, they get to appoint the next president?

That's a, maybe we should make that Monero challenge this week.

I don't think that's, I don't think that's searchable though.

It's not searchable.

Like you give us your best answer.

Give it, give it, your funniest answer.

Okay, fine.

Okay.

And then we'll put you in the wheel.

There you go.

Speaking of the wheel, let's go to the wheel.

Okay.

And we'll be right back after that.

All right.

All right.

So it's time to see who won last week's Monero challenge.

Just a reminder, it was a trivia question.

How do astronauts poop in space?

And the answer was they have a special vacuum toilet

that sucks the shit right out of their ass,

puts it in a nice vacuum sealed bag,

and either deposits it right into space,

or they bring it back down with them and dispose it here on earth.

So we've got three people that answered the question.

And first up is Monero MASH.

Next, we've got Mav McHugh.

And last but not least, we have Ayn.

All right, let's spin to win.

And the winner is Ayn.

Okay, you know the rules.

You got to contact me before the next show and get your Monero.

So what else do I have on my list of here?

I got an interesting one.

Okay.

So let's say you got a go on a job interview

and you have a couple of kids.

Oh, and you can't afford a babysitter.

You don't have your wife is gone for whatever reason.

You know, your family can't do it.

What would you do?

I know the story.

It was a one year old, a four year old, and a 10 year old.

One six and 10.

One six and 10.

I'm in the minority on this one.

I think he was right.

Oh yeah, I agree.

I don't think you're in the minority either.

From what I've seen.

Well, yeah, I know the kind of websites you go to.

And I saw the guy's mugshot so I can see why the...

Well, the porn websites, I mean, they're really,

they're really, he did debate on this.

So the guy, the guy, I don't know the full story.

He dropped his kids off McDonald's during the interview.

The only problem was it was for two and a half hours.

That's the only thing that...

You never were alone as a kid for two and a half hours?

No, no, I do not.

When I was six.

I grew up in the 80s.

Yeah, when I was six.

I would walk to McDonald's by myself and go by 29th,

September.

Oh, we used to ride our bikes.

Yeah.

I'd be gone from sun up, well, sun up and sun down, technically.

So they arrest the guy for child endangerment or whatever the fuck

number one was.

Yeah, I don't...

So...

They're not in any danger, it's McDonald's.

I actually would argue that they're safer at McDonald's than they are at home.

Yes, exactly.

There is a 10-year-old there, obviously the infant and the six-year-old.

The 10-year-old, as long as he's somewhat responsible,

because in reality, the people around here, we're good people overall.

And if there's trouble that the 10-year-old can't handle,

they can go to the cashier or they help me out.

There's employees, they should have arrested him.

But then there was a lady arrested in Georgia, she let her 10-year-old walk to the store.

Yeah, I saw that, yeah.

That was like, I don't know, maybe a year ago, six months ago.

And they arrested her.

And what the fuck is this?

Yeah, it's a fucking law enforcement, a silver stuff in their bounds.

Well, they're not because that's the law, that's the law says.

What does the law say though?

Because I don't think it gives a certain age.

Yeah, well, not really.

I think if it gives an age, it's 12.

But I don't know if the law, because that's the rule of thumb,

like at 12, you can suddenly leave your kid home alone.

But some kids are mature at 12 and some are immature at 12.

And so, to me, the age doesn't matter.

The parents have a choice to choose.

Yeah, like this is a retarded story.

Let this guy go.

What state was it in, do you know?

Like, is this a fucking guy a pardon for Christ's sake?

Yeah, okay, so the reason I brought up the mugshot,

and I was doing like a racist joke again for a while.

He's a black guy.

And he looks a little bit stereotypical,

like he's got the long braids and shit.

And he's got like a scowling mouth in his mugshot.

But the whole stereotype is there's no black father, right?

No, what's the loatest hand in the hood?

So they arrest the one black guy who wants to be with his kids.

Right, what the fuck?

Like, come on, the guy's doing good by his kids.

Like, he's trying to find a job that better his life

and get those kids better shit.

Like, who cares to be Donalds?

What's the problem?

Yeah, that one, it's gross, it bothers me, but yeah.

Let's get a pardon for this guy.

So, reminding of a story, back in Seattle,

when I was doing open mic comedy,

there was a fundraiser for a black comedian

who was losing his kids and he needed to raise some funds.

Yeah.

And we were at, we were in White Center,

which White Center is not really white.

I don't know how that works.

We were in a room probably 75% black.

Yeah.

And I go up and do my bed,

and I guess kept it to the stuff that I knew.

This guy, he's a, he moved to LA, he's a cool guy.

He goes up there, he's a white guy.

Like, he's Florida white.

He's like white.

And he goes, I had to come tonight.

When I heard a black man actually wanted to be with his kids,

I had to come out and support that.

And I'm just like, holy fuck, that's hysterical.

The crowd went fucking nuts.

Well, like it's like I was saying on that,

on the podcast we interviewed on last night.

Yeah.

A black comedy, a black audience is the best audience.

As long as you can make them laugh.

You make those motherfuckers laugh,

you're going to be like, oh my God, I'm the king of comedy.

They laugh.

So it's like when I worked at the haunted house,

if I knew a black guy was coming, oh shit.

It's like, oh shit, black guy's coming.

Or black woman, even better.

Because they, they get really scared.

Because I worked in catacombs rooms.

And when I did, I had a black robot, a black fay.

Oh, I had, I had something on my face

that didn't show my whiteness.

And what I also did is I took black duct tape

and wrapped my ankles all the way down the tip of my toes.

Because my shoes would show.

So I was like, and I see this crowd coming.

I'm sitting in the corner of me.

I always look for who, I don't, I don't want the first one.

And if I see a black person to make up like,

it's my target man, we're going to have some fun.

And they always love that.

I mean, they know.

But, but yeah, like one year old,

she started running the opposite direction.

Your story reminded me of something.

You ever drive to Indianapolis from Chicago?

Yeah.

So you go on 65?

Yeah.

I don't know if you ever noticed this,

but there's an exit about halfway down.

And there's a sign on that exit.

And it says, Whites Town this way, Brown Bird that way.

And like, you can go Google this.

Cause it's a famous sign.

I can build all that story so much.

And like, I was driving, the first time I drove down there,

I'm like, looking at the sign, I'm like, what the fuck?

The word white in towns and rivers and lakes

is all over that fucking state.

Oh my God.

Indiana.

We were in Indiana visiting my grandmother in Indianapolis.

Mission, put it up.

And we were looking for a hotel room.

And all the hotels in Indianapolis were booked.

And I go with a bunch of cashier, I go,

what the fuck is going on here?

They're like, oh, they didn't see double A's in town.

I go, oh, okay.

I'm going to go in the car.

She goes, what are you going to do?

I go, I'm going to go to his hotel room.

I know exactly where to go.

She goes, how do you know where to go?

I go, I know where to go.

So I guess I got on I-70, crossed Marion County,

the Hancock County, got off in Greenfield, Indiana,

went up to the hotel.

You get a room?

Oh yeah, we got a bunch of rooms.

Of course, every hotel in Indianapolis is sold out.

They're like, yeah, I don't know.

They won't come here.

There you go.

What?

What?

I got it right.

I mean, there's actually books written on Indiana and the,

the, I'm not saying it's a racist state, but they have a lot of segregation.

And I mean, it's all now, it's all, it's no longer.

Abraham Lincoln did grow up there.

He was born in Kentucky, I believe he lived in Indiana for a while,

and then Illinois.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But no, it means so.

Pretty racist president.

He was a racist president.

People, and he was gay.

Call me out on it.

I got facts.

I don't have pictures because they're going to be,

you got a drawing and shit back then.

He was gay though.

Oh, Jesus.

Did you hear the weird story about Virginia Guthrie?

She was an Epstein victim.

Okay.

Oh yeah, I did.

I did see something about that.

Weird.

I don't, I don't even know how to tell the story because apparently a bus hit her,

a bus hit a car doing like 65 or 70 because they said it in,

what, how do they measure speed limit outside of America?

Leaders, centimeters.

Like communists per, I don't know.

It's a metric system, whatever it is.

So it said like that, bus hit her at 100,

about 100, something an hour.

And like, what the fuck?

Yeah.

And it turned to five, it was like six years, 70.

But so the, the bus was behind apparently a slow moving car.

Yeah.

And he went to pass, he went to overtake them because the bus started an interview.

Okay.

The car turned right in front of him.

And he hit the car.

Okay.

And there's like 12 or 15 kids on the bus, nobody was hurt.

Nobody in the car was hurt.

Yeah.

The bus driver said he saw one person in the car.

Yeah.

Then all of a sudden there's a news story that this lady is in a hospital and she's

she was just given four days to live.

Okay.

Because of kidney failure.

Why she couldn't go on dialysis?

I don't.

What does this have to do with the accident?

Well, because she claims she was in the accident.

Wait.

But the bus driver is like, I don't recall this.

And it's no, it's a bizarre fucking story.

I, no one knows what's going on.

And she posted this on either ex or her Facebook.

She thought it was a private thing.

It wasn't.

But she's got pictures of her Facebook fucked up.

But the bus driver knows she wasn't at the accident.

She doesn't, she didn't, you know, there was nobody hurt like that.

What the fuck?

But she said she's going to be dead in like four days.

And she didn't die.

So it's just, it's a weird story.

I don't know where it's going.

But I swear, in case it breaks.

Weird.

And becomes a big story.

I want to be the first to report on the Canary in the Cage podcast.

Well, we already heard about it.

So.

Well, I mean, no, no, no, the full story.

Oh, okay.

Because nobody else gave the full story yet.

Yeah.

And then I guess the last thing I have is the soldiers that died.

What?

Yeah, we had three or four soldiers and I, it's in Luther, they were in Luthor,

Lithuania.

I can't say that word.

Okay.

They wouldn't say that.

Lithuania.

There you go.

They were doing UN practice drills.

They were practicing with the UN army on the Russian border.

Okay.

So first I have a fucking problem with that.

Yeah.

Well, that's my bigger problem.

Get the fuck out of there.

But they were driving, it's like a tank.

I don't know if it's an actual tank, but it's one of those vehicles that moves around.

Okay.

And they got submersed in a bog that was on the map.

So they knew it was coming up.

But then the army in that country you said,

said, oh, we can't find the soldiers.

Then the Americans went and said, well, they're dead.

And then the next day they go, no, no, we miss folk.

They're not dead.

And then they go, yeah, they are dead.

What the fuck?

It's, I don't, and Trump was asked about it.

And he just did his Trump talk and he got a, he didn't have to like confirm it.

Weird.

But yeah, again, why are we running drills on the other Russian border?

That's just what we do.

Which actually leads me to two other stories I heard that I didn't write down.

This, one of Biden's chief of staff, I think guys from 21 to 23 is writing a book.

Yeah.

He claims Biden thought he was the president that you win.

So all these tell all books about Biden being incompetent coming out now.

So is it a crime to be a president if, if you're compromised like that?

No, we've had a couple actually.

Reagan was like that near the end.

Yeah.

I guess I'm looking for, I don't, I don't understand why these reporters can now

profit off something that they protected and covered up for us.

And do whatever they want?

And now they're saying, oh, we do it all the time.

We do it the whole time.

Well, fuck you.

You didn't tell us.

I mean, we, we knew it too, because we could see.

Well, but you were covering it up.

Okay.

I just don't think they should be a profit on this.

Why?

It's free speech.

Fuckin' free speech.

No, it's just like seriously though.

I mean, I like do something about it during until like it's too late now.

You can't do anything about it.

Well, yeah.

But so why are they, why are they able to profit on this when they lie down?

They can do whatever they want.

Free country.

This is freedom.

Enjoy it.

So what was my other story that popular I had?

Biden being the head of the UN.

Oh, this came up, this story came up today.

And it was out of, uh, what are the, what are the countries in Europe?

They say Chinese people are leaving in mass numbers.

And then I started reading the comment.

I'm trying to verify this and AI said it's not, they said there's not enough data to,

to confirm this show.

But then posts started popping up like I live in Florida and they're leaving Florida too.

I live here, they're leaving.

Now there are shitposts.

So I don't know if it's true or not.

But the theory is China might be prepared for war

and call it all their people home.

Huh.

Well, wouldn't they leave them here?

Something they could just start fighting?

Well, not your whole plan.

Was the whole thing at the end of this video?

No, no, no, no.

Well, certain Chinese, uh, certain Asian people, but they were in Shanghai,

which I believe either China or Shanghai is 1.4 billion.

They claim the balls and all the stores are empty there too.

And they're like, we're all the people.

Again, it could be fake.

It's a story that just came out today, which is I heard of it today.

Interesting.

So I want to just get it out there in case it becomes a thing.

But they're saying that China is prepared to attack Taiwan.

Um, I just, I don't like, I, what's the goal of all that?

Like I don't understand.

I think they want Taiwan.

I think they want the land.

Like I get that they have this whole goofy one China, like religious nonsense,

but like strategically what, who fucking cares?

Apparently, uh, yin or yang or what the fuck his name is.

Why?

I don't know.

Like what Taiwan makes the chips, right?

Super conductor chips.

Yeah.

Just buy, like buy them.

You know, you're not losing out by buying them.

Yeah.

But if you're, if you think a little deeper into that,

maybe there's something in planting the chips that will report back to them.

They're already doing that on their own.

And this, this, again, it doesn't benefit them, right?

Like knowing which porn sites Ron goes to, how does it benefit this?

It's been a real challenge.

What porn does Ron like?

I don't, I don't want to give answers that I don't need to the FBI watching

because I don't do that.

The shit this does, like, here's it, like,

China is not, I don't like China, like their communists, but like,

we always assign to them motives that our leaders do.

You know what I mean?

Right.

So like our dickheads are always trying to fight wars and start wars and do all the shit.

So like, we always accuse others of doing the same thing.

What really like, China has never started a war.

China's not bombing.

Like they, they have skirmishes with fucking Nepal and shit like that, but

they're not, they don't have bases in South America.

So their military's not tested?

No.

Well, didn't they attack America though, like back in the 80s?

No.

Oh no, that was Red Dawn, sorry.

This movie.

That wasn't even China.

No, no, the original one it was.

No, it was Russia.

No, it was, uh, oh no, it was Russia, but China joined Russia.

Because they said that Russia's got a million.

No.

No, there's a lie in the movie that said, uh, yeah, a million skirmish in China,

but they joined Russia.

So I'm sorry.

Like try, like they just don't think that way.

I mean, it could be, they could be lying.

They could be hiding it right now.

I'm not, I'm not saying I'm, I'm guaranteeing this, but we don't see it in their actions.

Yeah.

I mean, yeah, I don't, I've never been threatened by China.

I mean, that'd be personally, but as a country, I don't think we are because they need us to exist.

Well, apparently the, the article was saying that China is suffering some major financial

crisis.

Probably.

They're, they're commies.

That's what happens.

And this is like the, the, the last time they could actually probably present and go to war.

And when you're not, the thing is like, you don't fix that by going to war.

You fix that by stopping a fucking communist.

Oh, okay.

I'll send you over there.

You could be the Dennis Rodman of China.

So stop being communists.

Fuck.

It's so simple.

Why can't people figure it out?

Seeing you in China would be hysterical.

You're all fucking retarded.

No, yeah.

So I don't know if I told you this story, but when we flew to Mongolia one time, we went through Beijing.

Okay.

And their airports are all fucked up.

Of course.

At least the Beijing airport is.

So normally, right, you have the, the, the concourse area, not concourse, but the area where the flights

leave and come in.

Yeah.

And there's like chairs, right?

Yeah.

And if you have a long layover, you could just hang out in the chairs.

Yeah.

Well, China has two different levels.

Okay.

So there's the arrival level and the departure level.

So the departure area has chairs, but the arrivals, there's no chairs.

It's just fucking flat, hard floors.

So you have to walk your ass out to the, to the front.

And I didn't even know this, but we come to an area where it's like you're now entering Chinese

space and I didn't have a visa or anything, right?

Because we're not going to China.

We're hanging over to go to Mongolia.

So I found out you can, you can get a temporary visa to go into the area where we can find

seats or beds or something.

So, so we're in line and like, there's this guy in military gear and he's like the guard

and like, he's telling people to go over there, go over there, go over there.

And like, we're in line and he's like, go over there.

So we're in the line and then like, we start moving up and then as soon as we get near the

front of the line, he's like, no, no, you're in that line.

And I started, I'm like, I'm pissed because I know I'm tired as fuck.

I'm about to like just want to crash, right?

For 15 hours for our layover.

I started yelling at this guy.

And Trump was president at the time.

It was 2017, I think.

Okay.

And I'm like, do you want me to get fucking Donald Trump in here, motherfucker?

And like, he didn't speak English.

So he didn't know what the fuck I'm even saying, right?

But I'm like, I'm going to get myself arrested in China.

No, but they didn't, they didn't do anything.

Like it wasn't, it wasn't, like he just, he just said, just go, just go, go, go.

You know, but we finally got through and like, we ended up

there were no hotels near the, in the airport.

So there was no like lounge area.

There was nothing.

So we fucking had to sleep on the floor

in the lobby of the airport.

Ugh.

And then go back in the next day.

It was just, it's fucking, don't go through Beijing airport guys.

It's terrible.

So when you get off the plane, do you walk upstairs to go the upper level?

No, no, the plane, the, the boards on that level.

And then drives on to, to arrivals?

No, you can't get around.

We tried to.

So you said there's departures at arrivals.

Yeah.

So you depart the plane, you're on a plane, you're departing the plane.

Yeah.

Departing me the plane, you're going on the plane and leaving.

Okay.

But you were, oh, so you arrive.

Yes.

But they said they're on two separate levels.

Yes.

You cannot get to the one of the level from the other.

But how do you get to the plane?

Does the plane move?

Or does the plane stay still?

Okay.

When you, when you arrive at the Beijing airport, you get off the plane.

Yes.

You go to the upper level.

Yes.

Upper level.

Yes.

To get on the plane, you're on the lower level.

Yes.

And does the plane change or does it like there's stairs and ramps involved?

Yeah. Well, the, the accordion thing that goes to the plane's door.

Yeah.

Like it changes which level it goes to.

Okay. So you won't, so there's the, okay.

There's a hill you have to walk or.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think like.

And they're not connected.

I could, we could not get to the other area.

It's fucking stupid, dude.

Don't go to Beijing airport.

But I thought it was funny that you said like, you should suck David to China.

Because I actually did that and yelled at a guy's face.

Oh, well, we're unlucky we got you back.

So, yeah.

So I just, I just thought the Chinese thing, I don't, I get suffice fake and it's hard

to tell what's not fake.

I just, I don't see the benefit to faking this.

So I don't know what's going on.

So.

What?

I'm nervous with the war.

It's propaganda, right?

Like they make a propaganda all the time.

Whether China's really doing these things or not, who the fuck knows?

I mean, like they had all those ghost cities for a while where like,

they just built these giant cities and nobody was in them.

Because that's how comics think, right?

They go, we built the city and then we moved the people there.

Oh, that's how it works.

Because they just don't get it.

So yeah, they're definitely going to be in financial dire straits.

Like they can't manage finances as commies.

Yeah.

So yeah, I'll keep an eye on that and see what's going on.

I don't know.

I think I'm tapped out.

Okay.

So let's get to the teaching segments.

Yep.

I'm going to talk about dead man switches this week.

Okay.

So what is it?

I'm sure you've all heard the phrase dead man switch.

But what actually is a dead man switch?

So originally it comes from trains, right?

Oh, okay.

So you'd have an operator on the train and like,

let's say the train gets robbed or he has a heart attack or something.

And he conks over and now the train is a runaway train, right?

You can't stop that train.

Okay.

So they invented this thing called a dead man switch.

And what it is is he would keep his foot on the switch.

Yeah.

While he's running the train.

Yeah.

And if he'd ever take his foot off the switch, the train stops.

Fair enough.

So the dead man switch, right?

Yeah.

So yeah.

So how does this relate to technology?

Because I'm not talking about trains this week, right?

I'm going to talk about dead man switches in technology.

Okay.

So what the idea is if you are dead or incapacitated or can't get to your machine,

you want something to happen.

That's the basics of it.

Okay.

So what kind of things could you want to happen?

Well, maybe you want your data to be destroyed, destroyed, right?

We're talking about that on one of the hard drive shows, right?

Or maybe you want some data to be released, right?

Like I have files on Hillary Clinton.

I don't, by the way.

Yeah.

I don't.

But you want to protect yourself from someone coming after you.

So you say, okay, I put these files in a dead man switch.

And if you come after me, the files get released.

Yeah, but Kaferi had one that never happened.

Allegedly.

Yeah, but it never happened.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Or for example, if you watched our first episode, we have a warrant canary.

Yeah.

And that's an example of a dead man switch.

Yeah.

So if I die, our warrant canary will go off on our website and you'll know,

hey, something's wrong with these guys.

I don't know what it is, but something's wrong.

So what are some examples, switches that we could do?

Well, for the warrant canary, what I do is I just sign,

I cryptographically sign a message every month.

Yeah.

And that updates the canary and keeps you ensured that we haven't been compromised by Feds or whatever.

Or another thing you could do is have a certain amount of crypto deposited into a wallet every

interval.

So you might say, hey, Hillary Clinton, if you don't deposit one Bitcoin into my address

every week, actually Monero, we don't want no Bitcoin, right?

Yeah, government controls that shit.

So if you don't give me one Monero every week, the files go out.

And I can't control it.

It's a dead man switch.

So now they have to pay you off forever if they want those files to stay safe, right?

The other thing you could do is email an address that you own that nobody knows about every interval.

Yeah.

And if that email doesn't come in, then the files go out or your data is destroyed, whatever.

There's all sorts of other things you could do, right?

You know, be clever, come up with your own.

Yeah.

And normally when I do a topic like this, I cover some software that will help you

actually do these things.

Well, I'm not going to do that this week.

You know why?

Why?

It doesn't exist yet.

Oh.

I've looked as hard as I could.

I saw some projects that got started but never went anywhere.

And there are people that talk about this, so especially the dark web chat rooms,

like there is chatter about it, but no one's actually made it happen.

So my challenge to you guys is to think about how you would do this.

And I think you would probably want to do it with like a smart contract blockchain.

Yeah.

But you could do it with, you know, some other way if you find a better way.

But think of a way to do it.

See if you can get some, you know, some good talented people to work on it.

And let's get this software out there.

Because like when John McAfee died, he claimed he had all these files on people.

But you know, nothing ever went out.

So either he's still secretly alive.

Well, no, do you know the conspiracy behind that is?

This is not my conspiracy.

I've looked into it, but it's not what I believe in.

Not too long after he died, that high-rise info.

Oh, yeah, I saw that.

Yeah.

So they're saying that that's where his servers were.

Well.

And they collapsed with them.

Now, mind you, high-rises don't just collapse.

But he'd been dead for a long time before that.

Was it?

I thought it was fairly...

No, I think it was like a year at least.

Maybe, I don't know.

I didn't follow the story back then.

Well, if you have some high-level shit, your mortuary shirt,

your debant switch should be really like a day or two.

Yeah, it should be quick.

But yeah, I used to think it was funny because high-rise info

is legit, don't just collapse.

But there was structural issues with it.

It was being ignored.

Right, I don't know.

Yeah, I don't know.

I think he was just bluffing.

Yeah.

And he also would go on and say,

I'm not suicidal in a case like that.

But I don't know, man.

The guy was nuts.

Like, if you read his biography, he was really fucking nuts his whole life.

So he's exactly...

He would park off EPC either and fly the drone over the island.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, they got...

But if you are somebody that has these files

and you do want to protect yourself, you need the software.

Yeah.

So like, let's get it done, people.

I know there's a lot of talent people that would...

Wait, so all you're looking for is a program that people can download

or upload software, files into a cloud.

And then they have to go in and punch a code in every 24 hours.

Yeah, well, it's a lot more complicated than you think.

So there's all sorts of fail points,

whether the cloud can go down or your internet can go down.

Like, we want to cover all that shit.

Oh, because the internet goes down.

Yeah.

But yeah, but everyone's got at least one internet home

and then a cell phone and internet on it.

Yeah, it's...

Trust me, it's more complicated than you think it is.

So that's the reason why the software doesn't exist.

Like, because people have started it and they realize,

oh shit, this is more complicated than I think.

I just don't think that's complicated.

It is.

Yeah, let's get it done, people, because I want to see this happen.

But yeah, that's my spiel on Deadman switches.

All right.

We had a request that I talk about how to get into the trades.

In my opinion, in the coming years, it's going to be a very profitable job.

I think it's going to be fairly easy to get them to,

depending on where you live at.

I'm back here, for example, here in Vegas, we have Hollywood movie theaters,

Hollywood Studios coming here.

We have to build all these buildings.

We got a baseball park we got to build.

We got a basketball park, a basketball stadium we got to build.

So if you're in an area where there's some movement and with these tariffs,

that might increase the building going on, like Georgia is getting a car plant,

Ford has promised to build more plants here in America,

GM is promising to build more.

So there is going to be more commercial construction going on.

And where commercial construction is residential,

residential construction is not far behind.

So how do you get into it?

Well, I know like in ages past, they had shop class.

We didn't have that in school, but that doesn't take you anywhere outside of shop.

No, but like it gets you that talent to start with.

But now we have nothing.

What it does is it tells you what kind of trades you want to go into.

Yeah.

Like I wouldn't be a carpenter.

I can tear shit up and I can build big stuff.

I am not a trim carpenter.

I do pieces of trim going together.

Nope, not going to happen.

So you got to find first find what trade you like.

To do that, you could go to, there are trade schools in certain areas of the country.

They're not real popular, but they also might be getting more popular.

I mean, not that I recommend the military, but you can learn trades in the military.

And when you come out of that, you're basically guaranteed a job somewhere.

So you can go that route, but if you go into the military, you make sure that I'm going in

for construction work only.

I'm not going to build a shack in the middle of a fucking battlefield.

So yeah, so lock that shit down tight.

And they have to, if they get, if they put it right, they have to abide by it.

So there's trade schools or dependent on how old you are and how much you need to make,

to make your nut.

You can just go kind of pick up some work and construct, you know, small construction crews.

What I did is early on, I just got a liability policy on my own, on my own work and my own

health. Like if I got her to work my liability insurance, what I've covered, and I just contacted

a whole bunch of small construction companies and said, Hey, I know construction, call me if you

need a helping hand.

And I was never the lead, but I was always the helper.

So I learned a lot from those guys doing that.

That was the non union side of it.

And you can go non union and have a decent life.

But you, you kind of help out with some, some G, some G general contractors or construction

crews to find out what you like the best.

I, if out of all the trades, I probably like plumbing.

Now, if I had to do it over again, I would go the elevator route.

I would be an elevator, either repairman or construction guy.

Those guys make bank.

They know they legit have the best pension program of anybody else.

So they're, they're overtime hours.

Go to their pension.

Like if you, if you work 30 years and say that's 10,000 hours, it's more than that.

But you've done 5,000 hours of overtime that gets tacked on.

So your pension is based on your straight timing, your overtime.

They got great health insurance.

So why isn't that all the elevators in the casinos here are broken as fuck?

Um, one, anything outside is not going to work.

It's going to break all the time.

They're not outside.

Well, no, well, the escalators and the elevators are, they are,

those are always broken on the strip.

Well, no, those ones, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, in the casino.

In our cases, a lot of them are C.H.

They refuse to, they refuse to remod, remod their elevators.

Terrible.

Um, and yeah, it is.

My wife will not get an elevator in one of the older shoes.

Yeah, they are.

But the problem with getting the elevator union, you got to be committed and they might

send you off to Wyoming for the first year or to a small area and then you,

and then you can transfer around from there.

So the nice thing is I believe, I know the post office does it, but I think, uh,

elevator guys too, if you're in a, in a big city and you transfer to a small rural area

towards the end of your career, your salary stays the same.

Oh.

And the post office does that.

I know a lot of postal workers that worked in big cities that went to small towns.

Closing down.

They made fucking bank.

Shut them down.

So, yeah.

So first you want to find out what trade you like.

Again, there's trade schools, there's all kinds of stuff.

Then what you want to do, I do recommend going union because you'll make more money.

Don't do it.

They're commies.

They are, they're woke pastors, but it's, it's, it's, it's just what you have to do.

And you'll, you'll have a better life, you go in the union than you would private.

So to get to the union, go to the union halls around, Google where the union hall is.

If you live in a small town, you don't have a union hall.

You got to go to the big city for this.

You want to find either carpenters, plumbers, electoral, a lot of them like here, we,

ours are all grouped for some weird reason.

I don't even know why, but it's weird.

But go to them and find out when they're testing.

So like the plumbers that they'll usually test once a year for apprenticeships.

So you want to get into a apprenticeship program and then it takes,

you're going to make shit pay for a while.

But once you become a journeyman, you're going to make some good money.

So it's, so find out what trade you like and then get some experience in the non union shop.

Unless you want to just take a suite with the fences and go straight to the union halls and test

and get in that way.

They'll take you out with very limited knowledge because then they can teach you themself.

So there's the multitude of ways of doing it, but ultimately you want to end up in the union.

Trust me with these.

Don't do it.

Deal with the devil.

But then you, if you don't, you've got other issues.

Yeah, well.

So yeah, so just try to do things, but the most important thing is what do you love?

You know, do you want to get hit and head over the turn?

Which is not that bad.

Do you want to build, do you want to like slam nails into wood for the rest of your life?

HVAC, I mean, that's a good trade.

That's not bad.

That gets a lot of fun.

That gets fun because you get a, you can go back and forth with the service crew and the install

crews, installs actually a lot of fun.

Service just sucks.

Yeah.

So then just find out what you like and go for it, but it's the union halls where you have to start

at.

I believe if I'm not mistaken and this might change city to city, you can't just walk into a union

plumbers as they hire me.

They have to go through the union hall.

Well, it's control.

Commies.

Yeah.

No, it's, I'm not correcting him because he's not, he's not wrong.

But if you're, if you're just a plumber or carpenter in the union.

Shut down, Trump.

We didn't cover that.

Trump shut down the, the.

Federal, not all of them, but the, some of the federal unions.

Did you hear about that?

Yeah.

Laura Loomer was involved with that.

Huh.

She, yeah, she brought up to Trump evidence of who the, uh, all the shitheads were.

And, uh, yeah.

So apparently she's a badass.

Apparently.

Yeah, but she's nuts.

Like she has a lot of.

Well, she's probably autistic or whatever because she is just like, apparently like she has no

social life.

She is just like, I don't like this person.

I'm going to find out everything about.

I want to know, does he use one player to play toilet paper and everything else about him?

So yeah, but no, it's getting into trades.

Is it that hard?

Oh wait, the, the, oh, the operators union.

That's another good one.

You get to, to drive the heavy equipment.

The cool thing about the heavy equipment, if you get the crane, if you're on the crane

and you get, you know, with the building, the, you got the crane up in the sky.

Yeah.

If you walk up, if you start climbing those stairs and they could shut the job down for rain,

you touch the stairs, eight hours pay.

They don't fuck around.

So that's actually another good union to get in, but you're, you're, you could kill people.

I mean, at that point, at the elevator, I don't think you can really kill people.

I mean, it's a lot of safeties, but if you're, if you're, if you're moving on heavy equipment,

it's that could be a little bit, if you've got nerves of steel, you want to do it.

And iron workers, that's another good one.

If you like to have some fun because iron workers are fucking nuts.

There was a guy told me early on in my career,

you know, about iron workers, because these guys, I mean, like, if you look like legit,

before like safety equipment, an OSHA, these guys literally walked on a beam

100 feet off the ground with no safety harnesses on.

It's funny.

They try to replicate that picture that I kind of, they all had a full rest up on.

But the best way to describe iron workers are if iron workers in a bar, having a beer and a

professional football team walks in, they're going to fight them just as though they can kick their ass.

They're a little crazy, but they make bang to it.

It's kind of a fun job.

So, um, yeah, find out what you like, contact your nearest union and then go that route.

If you want to make some money in the interim, find a small company, help them out.

So, oh, that's me.

That's it for me.

Cool.

All right.

See you next week.

See you.

Goodbye, everybody.
