Alright, welcome to the Canary in the Cage podcast. I'm Ron Morgan. I'm a co-host Dave
Havlicek. We're here to entertain you educate you and hopefully make you laugh. Dave,
I got a video of a friend of yours.
Friend of mine.
Yes, friend of yours.
Okay.
It's the first one.
See what we got here.
Not him.
Did you discuss General Hox's missile with Laura Loomer prior to his?
There you go. Aren't you suing her?
I don't discuss who I...
No, I'm suing Dena Titus.
Oh, that's not Dena Titus.
She was the Senator Jackie Rosen.
Oh, Jackie Rosen.
Talk about anything with.
It's so funny.
I don't believe this is my decision and he serves with the pleasure of the president and that's why he's no longer there.
So, do you believe it's appropriate for any social media personality to influence personnel decisions in your department? Yes or no?
What?
Just...
Wait, hold on.
I believe your time is up, Senator.
You're not up to me to tell me what my time is up.
Well, the time...
And I am going to say, Mr. Secretary, you're either factless or complicit.
You're not in control of your department.
Yours is unserious. It is shocking.
You're not combating anti-Semitism within your ranks.
She's such a bitch.
It's a dangerous and pivotal time in our nation's history.
What the fuck is she even talking about?
I yield.
Oh, they were just attacking him.
Do you want to please fix the collar here?
You're gonna...
Uh, no, fuck that.
Let the viewers deal with it.
But I like the viewers having a happy experience.
There's another color behind it.
But that blue's not popping.
Yeah.
I don't like...
What the fuck is she talking about?
Like social media influence...
Yeah, I didn't get that.
Okay.
Social media...
Okay, not everybody on social media is American.
Right.
Most of the people that are talking in X in English are probably American, right?
Okay.
And we should have an influence on our government, right?
Sure.
So then what the fuck is she talking about?
What is she...
Literally, what is she talking about?
Like, okay, so like, yes, she's not the bitch I'm suing,
but the bitch I'm suing blocked me on X
for trying to influence our government on X.
I mean, hello, what the fuck?
Oh, I thought you liked that one.
Oh, so like, yeah, speaking of the lawsuit,
I guess I can give a little bit of update.
So I...
Dude, these fucking process servers that I was dealing with,
like I couldn't get them to answer the phone,
they weren't answering emails.
Like, I don't know if they're fucking in on the...
On the shit or they're just incompetent,
because it seemed like a mom and pop,
like fucking Ricky Dink, you know?
Okay.
And like, they didn't...
They don't want to do their fucking job.
So like, I had a call of credit card company
and trying and trying to dispute the charge,
and like now they're giving me shit
because it's over 60 days,
when I have to give 90 days to the defendant to fucking...
It's such a fucking joke.
So like, I'm actually going to cancel this credit card
because of this.
Oh, really?
I mean, fuck that, I'm not paying...
Like, I have to pay because there's nothing I can do about that,
but if you're going to make me pay,
I'm going to cancel my server.
So the process server...
I'm not taking this...
So I looked up what you have to do for small claims court.
It's going to cost more than to fucking deal with that.
Like, why even bother?
No, fuck that, I went to Yelp, I gave them a bad review,
I reported them to the Better Business Bureau.
There's not much else I can fucking do.
So I found a different process server,
and I...
Now the first guys,
they actually did do the skip trace to get the address.
Okay.
So I did have that,
and I gave that to the new process server,
and they served it at her house.
And they only...
She's been served.
Yes.
I know, I still have to report that to the court,
which, you know, I tried to go to the post office today,
but there's no post office open today.
Yeah, I didn't know that.
The banks were called Juneteenth.
Fucking stupid.
I...
Dude, I get into this all the time with like conservatives.
So like, they'll be like,
Juneteenth is a stupid holiday because it's not about the troops,
or whatever fucking stupid conservative meme they talk about, right?
But like, if you think about what is a federal holiday,
it's when the government doesn't have to give us services,
but we still pay taxes.
Right.
So why do like, like conservatives love federal holidays,
as long as you're sucking a soldier's dick,
or like making a war parade or some stupid fucking shit.
But like, they never think that we should not have federal holidays in the first place.
There should be no weekends for the federal government.
You should be open 24 hours a day, seven days a fucking week,
just like Netflix, just like a lot of Walmart.
Like, fuck you, serve us, or stop taking our taxes.
How about that?
There you go.
Fucking assholes.
This campaign you could start.
Now, what Juneteenth is the end of slavery, right?
Not exactly.
Okay, because it's not the end of slavery, but okay.
It was like the day that the message arrived to some random town in Texas,
which is where Juneteenth started.
And like, Juneteenth has always been a Texas thing, apparently.
Really?
Yeah.
And like, I don't know how it got big during 2020, just the BLM garbage.
Well, everything got big in 2020, because we were sitting at home thinking about what to do.
So Biden's like, well, let's just give the federal employees another day off
where they don't have to serve you, but we still take your taxes.
Thanks, Biden.
So federal employees don't work, we shouldn't pay taxes.
Right.
They should work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and we'll pay taxes on that.
Okay.
Well, I'd rather just say, if you don't like that, don't pay taxes.
I don't want your fucking services.
But if you're going to take my money, give me a fucking services.
So just income tax or all tax?
All tax, all taxes, theft.
Yes, all taxes, theft.
Well, I mean...
No, no, it's all that.
I don't have a choice as to whether or not I pay it.
It's that.
I mean, I can kind of agree with that, but I mean, services have to be paid.
No, fine, but if I don't want the service, then you can't just take my fucking money.
Yeah, see, that's a tough one, because I've gone back and forth, because there,
well, okay, here's a good example.
You've heard of, there are privatized fire departments.
Okay.
And there was one actually in an unincorporate Elk Grove village in Illinois.
Okay.
And if you didn't pay the fee, they did not show up if your house was on fire.
See, like, that's a retarded way to solve that problem, right?
Because you can solve that problem other ways.
So like, you could show up and you could put the fire out,
and then you could give them a bill.
Right.
And if they don't pay the bill...
Mechanics lane.
Well, I wouldn't say, because Aline is also government involvement, right?
But you can essentially post a picture up all over town and say,
this guy's a fucking deadbeat.
No.
We put his fire out, he's not paying, and just make him out to be a bad guy.
Wouldn't bother me.
People might put my pictures up.
Okay, it doesn't matter if it would bother you or not.
I still wouldn't pay it.
I think you would pay it.
When you start, when you can't go to the grocery store anymore...
Who's going to chastise me?
Everybody will.
Enough people will, then it will matter.
And if it doesn't matter, then so what?
Like, you're living like a poor person anyway, so who gives a fuck?
You're like, or like, you could have like insurance that would pay for people that don't have,
that don't pay the fire company directly.
Okay.
Right, because, so let's say I pay my fire insurance,
and you live next door to me and you don't pay fire insurance.
Okay.
My insurance would cover you because your house burning is a risk to my house.
What if they show up to the fire with a contract and said,
hey, we'll put your house out beside this?
I mean, like again, you could do that, but it's just not the most efficient way to do it.
I mean, this has been a thing for thousands of years.
I mean, if you live in an area that does not have a fire department to service you,
and I'm assuming your property tax is reflected by you not paying taxes for that service,
why not pay it?
Well, that's the thing is like,
most people are going to decide to pay it, right?
Yeah.
But because we have competition, right, in a free market,
there'd be like five, six fire departments, and they would all try and compete on the price.
And they all race there to get there because they're first.
They might, I don't know.
They're like bumping and grinding.
But like, you would search around for the best deal, whereas now they just take your
fucking money and then, oh, sorry, we couldn't make it on time because they don't give a fuck,
right?
There's no accountability at all.
Okay.
Let's talk, because we were on a podcast last night.
Yeah.
We were on, what's the name of his again?
The Outlaw Crypto Podcast.
Yeah.
So we were talking about like, Iran.
And Israel.
So I am anti-war, I'm not that sure you are too.
Yeah.
I mean, I'd put a post on X, it's anti-war, anti-war, not as long as Americans aren't
going to die.
I don't want anybody dying.
So.
Well, you know, if two places on the other side of the planet go to war, I don't give a fuck.
Right.
So that's my question.
If I, if I ran, well, first, I mean, they're like, since I can remember, like in the, like,
in the mid-80s, Iran's weeks away from having nuclear war, they've said it's my entire life.
Right.
So it's just, it's kind of lost its luster here.
Yeah.
And like, they've had inspectors there.
Like, that's one of the most inspected places for that shit.
Like, they're not going to fucking miss something.
So, well, okay.
So.
Well, I'm likely, they're likely not going to miss something.
I mean, did they check the bunker that's 200 feet in the ground?
I, well, they had, I mean, that, it's radiation.
So like, you don't have to dig or anything.
You just check the radiation levels.
Okay.
See, I don't know about that.
But let's say they, let's say they got a nuclear warhead.
Yeah.
Does that affect our sovereignty?
Our sovereignty?
Yeah.
Not that I know of.
Okay.
I mean, so if, if he were to bomb Israel.
Yeah.
With a nuclear warhead.
Yeah.
That would have no effect on our weather or anything like that.
It might.
And it depends on how it was made.
Because like, if it's, if it's shoddy and like a bit shit into the air, then the air will float
around the earth and like, you'll have slight radiation and all that everywhere.
Like that.
I mean, that happened when we bombed.
Yeah.
So what's your opinion on, on Trump bombing, dropping that bunker buster or technically
I guess too old?
You should fucking get the fuck out of there.
And like, so you're against it.
Yeah.
Okay.
No, so am I.
I mean, I don't care about it.
I mean, I just, it's not my thing.
So, because the other thing is, is the, the, what up the guy I ran, I don't know who it is.
Khamenei.
Yeah.
Um, he says in the hill, attack America now.
But I don't think they even have the capability of that guys.
Well, now true, but China did fly in supplies and I ran yesterday.
So it's China going to get involved in this.
I mean, does that change the game?
Because I don't know.
I don't know.
I ran, I ran already been allied with Russia.
Haven't they?
Like, haven't they always?
Russia, I told them to fuck off.
Okay.
And Russia said, we're not going to get involved in this.
I mean, like, why, like, why is everyone doing this?
It doesn't make any sense.
I mean, I, I, I say to my case yesterday, I do not believe Trump's going to drop that bomb.
I think he's, this is his, no, this is his, I'm going to run for a third term.
I'm going to, I'm going to develop the guys' strip.
This is just him shitposting in real life, like with the words.
So I truly, because now he came out today and said, you got two weeks.
And then I'll just, then I'll decide.
So he's not even saying, Hey, in two weeks, we're going to drop the bomb.
Yeah.
So he, I don't think he'll drop the bomb because that will affect my support of him.
It will.
I don't think he should drop a bomb.
I don't think we should be involved in it, but unless we are attacked.
And then that's my question to you as well.
I said yesterday that I'm less worried about Iran attacking us, and I'm more worried about
Israel attacking us, making it look like Iran attacked us.
Right.
So how do we, how do we, how do we, how do we jump at that?
Here's another thing that's going to, just going to blow your mind.
Right.
I just said, I don't give a fuck if two countries on the other side of the planet go to war.
Right.
I also don't give a fuck if Boston gets bombed.
I don't know anybody in Boston.
Like, I don't give a fuck.
You're a, you're a, you're a-
What hell with patriots?
Well, Boston has nothing to do with me.
Right.
Just like Israel has nothing to do with me.
I don't give a fuck.
I'm like, I'm sure we have listeners in Boston and like-
I care about you guys.
I don't want you to die, but if, if you do, I'm not, I'm not going to go, I'm not going to go to your
funeral.
I'm not going to send you flowers.
Like I just don't give a fuck.
I don't know your name.
I don't know what you do.
Right.
Like, why do I care?
Why should I pretend that I care when I don't?
You don't care either, but you pretend that you do.
That's the thing.
Okay.
Well, I don't think it would be Boston.
The more military bases overseas.
Okay.
Yeah.
I definitely don't give a-
Like, give lots of a fuck.
Oh, no.
See that-
There shouldn't be no military bases overseas.
Get the fuck out of there.
I agree with that as well.
Okay.
But there are-
You deserve-
So, live it in reality.
They do exist.
Okay.
Then, then you signed up for this.
Don't cry when you get bombed.
But okay.
The people in Boston didn't sign up for this, right?
But the people in the military base, they signed up for it.
There's no draft.
You willingly signed your name to that fucking paper,
and you flew over there saying,
I'm going to protect this plot of land in Italy,
or some other country that's not fucking America.
You know what you're doing.
You stood there, put your hand up, and set an oath,
and then you violated that oath the next fucking day.
Fuck you.
I don't give a fuck.
Okay.
There you go.
Maybe I'll stay off those questions then.
Why?
I think it's great content.
It's going to be great in the review section and in the complaints.
Oh, we got it.
Good.
We had one of our videos went viral last week.
One of our clips.
Really?
Which one?
Which one was it?
It was, oh, me talking about you shit and ever see cops on the street.
Okay.
And like every, all these right wingers came in,
like, oh, this guy's a devil crab.
Oh, this is what the criminals would lie.
Like, because they only listen to the clip.
They don't listen to the full show.
Right.
So I was like talking shit in the comments, but I'm not.
I was like talking shit in the comments back to them and it was pretty funny.
But yeah, we're, we're starting to get some traction on the clips.
Oh, yeah, I actually got reposted on a couple things.
Nice.
I don't, but I don't know if that actually affects us.
Like I don't know.
It does.
No, it helps a lot.
Okay.
Yeah.
Because it was the anti-war comment.
I got reposted on.
So the way X works is that, so a lot of, a lot of these scam accounts do this is they'll own
like a thousand fake accounts.
Yeah.
And then the first count will oppose something and then the thousand fake accounts will repost it
and that bumps it to the top in the algorithm.
That seems like a lot of work.
Well, I mean, if you're collecting money on it,
it's like if you have the blue check and you're collecting money, they don't go fuck.
Because X doesn't block this behavior.
So people do it.
All right.
So anti-cop is bad then apparently.
I mean, that statement wasn't even anti-cop.
It's like the cops should operate properly.
So was it TikTok or YouTube?
YouTube.
Yeah, I don't look at the TikTok ones.
Okay.
Let's see what is next.
Let's see what we got here.
Okay.
The RFK.
So this is RFK is getting to work.
And now corporations are willingly taking out some of the chemicals.
Yeah.
I think I hope it's not like, oh, we'll take this one out, but we'll leave these in.
I hope the RFK is...
I think I saw you post this or I saw this come up somewhere else.
But so when they take out artificial colors,
and they're still going to color it, right?
Well, okay.
It's not going to be like bland, white, off-white gray, right?
So if you look, if you compare our food to like Canada or Europe, it is a different color.
Yeah.
But I'm saying there's so many colors, right?
Are you...
Isn't there like a natural color in the ingredients you use?
Yeah, there's natural colors.
Do you know what they make those out of?
What's that?
Bugs.
No, no, no.
I'm serious.
They make it out of bugs.
I don't doubt you.
So you're going to eat the bugs.
Well, we've already been told that.
That's what you're going to do.
They completely disclose that.
No, if you use a green and a yellow thing or blue and yellow, you make green, right?
Yeah.
So I mean, if you just use products, they're eventually going to be a natural, a color
without any additives.
Yeah.
But okay, when you look around in nature for things that are colored, like brightly colored.
Please don't mention people.
No, no, no.
Okay.
Well, like if you want black Cheerios, sure, I guess, but...
Or Asian Cheerios, yellow Cheerios?
I don't know.
But no, no, if you look at things that are brightly colored and edible, right?
So like a lot of plants that have bright colors are poisonous, so you can't eat those.
Okay.
But if you look at bugs, there's often like shiny greens and reds and blues and stuff,
and they're edible.
So that's where natural coloring comes from.
So when you take out the artificial coloring, which is just made in the lab,
it's the same chemical made in the lab.
Yeah.
You're now eating the bugs.
But I guess...
You argued for this.
You wanted this.
No, no, I'm good with it.
My question is like Skittles has come out.
Yeah.
This company, General Mills, I think that is, has come out, and they said,
we're going to take the food dye out.
Okay.
Other kind of food dye, not a chemical.
Yeah.
It's still a chemical.
Well, everything's a chemical.
Huh?
Everything's a fucking chemical.
Your chemicals, these laptop is chemicals.
It's all chemicals.
I'm not eating the laptop.
The meat you eat is chemicals.
It's all chemicals.
Yeah, I know.
But my question goes to, is it us that are dumb, or is it the corporation?
Because they're spending money to make their colors pop.
Yeah.
It's more of like the market is shifting and they're just meeting that new market demand.
Right?
So they don't give a fuck ultimately, right?
Right.
But they had to spend extra money to buy that food color to make the color pop.
Right.
So they did that to market it.
Yes.
I mean, have you ever heard like two stoners walking through a gas station and they see a bag of
Skittles?
It's not conscious.
But the guy goes, well, no, I don't like that they have bland colors.
And the guy goes, oh, no, no, no, they pop now.
And the guy goes, what?
They pop and they buy the Skittles?
Well, it's not a conscious decision.
So like, you don't know that that's why you bought it.
But if you look at the shelf at the end of the day, the popping colors are all gone and then the
bland colors are still there.
So like, you can't really explain why people chose that, but they do choose it.
So companies make it.
And if people start choosing the other one, then companies start making the other one.
That's all it is.
Like, there's no rational reason behind it necessarily.
I mean, it's not even a matter of stupid, right?
So like, there's the reason when you see fast food signs, they're all red and yellow
is because those colors actually stimulate your brain to produce hunger.
No.
It's not like you're stupid.
It's just how you buy your own.
McDonald's does that.
Operation rooms, everything is green because red and green, apparently it's not as gross
as white and red.
I don't know.
I just, to me, I just, I don't understand it.
I mean, we're not supposed to, it's not about understanding.
No, I know it's all subliminal and regardless of, it's not even subliminal.
It's there.
They're just producing what you are buying, right?
When you go to the store, you buy the poppin' colors and they say, oh, he's buying the poppin'
colors.
Let's make more of that.
That's all it is.
So they don't care why.
I believe this happened like back in the 90s, I would guess because that's when the food
industry hired the, no, I'm sorry, that's when the tobacco industry companies bought the food
companies and brought their scientists.
I don't think so.
I think the artificial dyes have been there for a while.
No, no, I'll tell you a story about that.
So I do believe this happened the 90s.
If I'm right or I'm wrong, I don't know.
No, I don't care.
But that's when the tobacco industry's bought the food companies and brought over the scientists
who made cigarettes addictive to make food addictive.
Somebody made cigarettes addictive.
Nicotine is just addictive.
Dude, there's shit.
Okay.
Nicotine is addictive, but so is caffeine and so is, but not to the level that cigarettes
are addictive.
Would I smoke?
No, nicotine is absolutely not addictive.
It's not that addictive.
When I quit smoking, I go through different stages of withdrawals.
And about six weeks after I quit smoking, I get a weird craving for about a week.
Okay.
And that's a chemical that's coming on my butt.
If you stop eating diet soda, you get, you go through withdrawals.
I don't buy this.
It's happened to everybody.
I don't buy it.
But I don't buy that there's like some special thing that they're doing above and beyond the
things that are in that stuff.
I mean, tobacco industry has been sued for doing that method and they've lost it.
That doesn't mean, oh, the court, oh, the court.
The judge has said, oh, the judge has done, the judge has done.
Except that point, I have to cite some kind of source.
That said Trump is a fucking criminal, right?
34th felony counts.
The judge has said so.
I don't know.
I think it's all bullshit.
So when, when I, when I heard Skittles make that announcement, I'm like,
what, it just, it confuses me.
I just, I don't get it.
But I was talking to my wife about, I go, do you remember the candy?
You see the Boston baked beans or, uh, Bert, Boston Burt beans?
So yeah, don't fuck with Boston.
They make a really good candy.
Yeah, I, I just think, I never heard of it.
So I definitely don't.
No, you don't, they, they, they, they were like brown and they had like spikes.
I don't know if it was a good idea.
What the fuck.
Okay. So I go, I go back, oh, I get it to you.
There's a candy out there.
They didn't change the color of it because they never, the color looked like shit before.
Why would they change it now?
So she bought me a bag of them.
They're fucking red.
I'm like, you sons of bitches.
Yeah, no, it's just, it's a candy.
It used to like, and yeah, I just can't, when they changed that.
I mean, it's just, again, it's like the, the whole, like in the, another thing in the
nineties was like light, everything was light, low fat.
Remember?
Oh yeah.
Like because, because these scam, uh, studies came out saying butter's bad for you.
Bacon fat is bad for you.
Margarine's better for you.
So there was margarine, there was that olea or whatever.
I can't believe it's not butter.
Does it have that, but remember the chips that had like oleate oil?
Do you remember that?
Like it was a big fucking thing.
There was.
And then it turned out that they made your ass leak, like your asshole leak.
So that, that was a warning label on the chips.
Yeah.
And there was a movie, uh, and the guy was like, uh, he was eating chips and his brother's like,
yo man, they give you the shit.
That guy goes, what are you talking about?
He goes, read the label.
Yeah.
And the guy goes, Diary, who, who we sell this?
Right.
Well, you bought it.
How is this marketing?
You bought it.
No, I agree.
But yeah, I got to pay attention.
Hey, but those died out real quick.
So it's, it's not just a matter of, uh, one thing is objectively better or more desirable.
It's, it shifts with the, with the culture.
Oh my God.
It's just, it's just mind numbing to think of.
I mean, that's just how, that's the, how the market works.
Like you get over it.
I just, whatever.
I just, I just eat apples and grapes and leaving the fuck alone.
No GMO.
No, I love natural fruits.
I mean, it's way better.
It's got the, like the fiber actually does, uh, keep you regular.
Is that a warning label on an apple?
They put warning labels on apples?
They might.
I mean, it's fiber.
Yeah.
Oh, Lordy.
So I guess we'll just go to the next one.
Uh, I don't keep notes of what we've got here.
Town hall.
I'll ask this guy, did you hear this story?
Fake cries while explaining how to enforcement protect each other.
So this is our, a Senator Alex Pedia.
He was, he's a California Senator and he was in California and Naomi,
the D.O.D.
Noem.
Christy Noem was there to have a speech and he decided to go in and interrupt the speech.
Now, what do you say interrupt the speech?
He'd like charge the stage.
Okay.
I mean, he's not like he ran out of the stage.
Yeah.
He was walking the stage with his hand raised.
Okay.
And then of course, apparently the, well, I actually had the video for last week.
I did shows.
We ran out of time.
They dragged his ass out and pinned him to the ground and handcuffed him because he
didn't know who he was.
See, like, I think interrupting a speech is fine.
As long as you're not like making any violence.
Well, it wasn't that type of speech.
Sure, under protest, but that's actually not what I'm going with.
Okay.
Now you can show the video.
I'll try to say this because it's, no.
Okay.
It's just, it's a funny video because the guys, he's fundraising off of this.
But that's all I do.
He pauses for a second.
See this pin?
Yeah.
He wasn't wearing his Senate pin.
Okay.
And they said that's why they didn't know who he was and they arrested him.
Okay.
So if he was wearing that Senate pin.
Oh, so they wouldn't have arrested him?
That's what I wonder.
I mean, is, if you wear a Senate pin, do you not get arrested?
Maybe I should go find one of these.
Maybe still is because he's a big old crybaby.
First on my knees and then flat on my chest.
Something's just kind of being raped.
And it was handcuffed and marched down a hallway, repeatedly asking, why am I being detained?
Not once did they tell me why.
So I don't, I don't want to hate to interrupt, but like, no, go right ahead.
Does this fucking retard not understand that every time he signs his dumb fucking name to a law?
Some other person has that experience because of him.
Does he not understand that?
Yes.
Now I don't care what party you're in.
They all fucking do it.
I pray you never have a moment like this.
Oh fuck you.
You want me to have this moment for owning a gun?
A lot of questions came to my mind.
He fake cries here in a second.
It's kind of funny.
First of all, where are they taking me?
Because I don't know.
I'm not just being escorted out of the building.
Am I being arrested here?
He's a bad actor too.
In what womanly city already on edge from being militarized, think when they see their
United States Senator being handcuffed just for trying to ask a question.
I love all senators handcuffed.
Yeah, fuck you.
I mean, like you do this to us every fucking day.
Fucking scumbag, dude.
What a piece of shit.
It was okay.
Yeah, you're right.
It's just so fucking fake.
Like he would sit there and be telling us, giving a speech and laughing your fucking
face as they arrested you.
Fuck you.
But if you notice, this is like, I guess we're so in spring.
We're almost at summer.
But the spring of 25 is if you're a Democrat politician, I would be putting handcuffs.
How many of these people are doing shit to get arrested?
Yeah.
To get their name in the paper.
It's like the Democrats have a hole and they don't have anybody who's solid to run for president.
Yeah.
So they're all like trying to get out there and get their names known.
And I got arrested stating other people.
Oh, my God.
I charged a stage with Kristine O'Monnet and I wasn't wearing my Senate pin.
I put that in my pocket.
So they would arrest these are going to go through this.
It's like, I think that you got the one that in Newark.
There's other ones.
But here's the thing.
Hakeem Jeffries.
Yeah.
He came out and said, if you put handcuffs on a congress member, you're going to be in trouble.
Hey, Hakeem, you've had a bunch of handcuffs.
What are you going to do?
You want to make a threat?
Cover it.
Could bring it out and bring it up, bro.
God.
So now, so you'll do the Monero challenge now.
You want to do it like, yeah, let's let's, here it is.
Let's do it.
So this is going to be the Monero challenge.
We'll repose this at the top of the page.
At the end of the show.
So this is the president or prime minister of Italy.
I don't know.
She's actually a pretty cool lady.
And this one is the groomed man, a marrying trans man.
His wife is a man.
She's swinging deck.
There's just, there's just no doubt about it.
Not there's any problem.
I mean, I joke about Michelle Obama, but I'm not 100% sure she's swinging deck.
His wife, she's swinging deck.
But it's weird because she was his teacher in school and she groomed him and then married him.
And then he became president.
It's a very weird story.
So this is McCann, McCann.
Yeah, whatever.
He's fresh.
I think his nicknames I give up.
So we're going to play the video and then I'll explain what the task is.
So what the fuck did he say to her?
Now he's smart.
I covered his lips.
I don't care.
I'm not looking for the right answer.
Yeah.
I'm looking for the funny.
Give us your best answer and we'll put you in the wheel.
So keep in mind married to a man that dresses like a woman that groomed him since he was a kid.
And this is a factual story.
So this is a true story.
And even if it wasn't, even if it's not, go with it.
Macron, that's his name.
Macron.
So I don't care if you even make up another fake background for him to get that look out of another
president's eyes.
She was just like, what the fuck?
He said something in there that just ain't right.
So so make it up.
Impress us.
Make us laugh.
There you go.
All right, let's move on here.
What we got here?
Don't ask, don't tell.
So, okay, so there is a, it's a hidden trick that the media uses to know when
active military, when a military action is about to take place.
I've heard about this for years.
Yeah.
And it's always, they have pizzas delivered to the Pentagon.
So if you see cars in the Pentagon parking lot and pizza coming, they're obviously working late
because they've got, they got something they're talking about, something they're planning.
I found this the other day.
So apparently there's two ways to tell.
So there is a bar just the closest bars to the Pentagon is Freddy's Beach Bar.
Okay.
It is a gay bar.
And apparently when they're, when they're, when they're dead on a night, they're normally busy.
That means there's something going on the Pentagon.
So, don't ask, don't tell.
I don't, I don't know.
I mean, I didn't realize we had so many gay people at the Pentagon.
I mean, not that there's a problem with it.
Yeah.
So I thought that was funny that the gay bar was like, dad, like the guy's gonna,
these happy ass guys are walking up, we're gonna suck some Pentagon's guy dick.
Do we have like spies that just, that stand there and look how busy it is and report that or what?
Well, I think once they see the cars in the parking lot and the pizza delivery,
they go to the bar and see that it's dead.
I don't know.
Or maybe they pay off the bartender and they're like, hey, we're normally,
flooded with generals and corporals tonight and we got none.
I don't know.
I mean, I don't know how they tell, but it's just funny that it's a gay bar that's not
busy because the military is busy.
I don't know.
Actually with, with gay, do you want to bring up the Will Smith thing and Will Smith put out a
really weird creepy song?
I don't know.
You put that.
You didn't.
It's, I didn't put it up.
That was going to talk about it.
But Will Smith is obviously gay, bisexual, whatever, but it's, look up the song.
It's weird.
It looks like an eighth grade song.
I would have wrote in eighth grade.
I like girls.
I like girls that are pretty, you know, and it's just like,
Well, it's a nice, awesome family rep song like Will Smith used to do back in the 80s.
Remember parents just don't understand.
Yeah.
Stuff like that.
So now it's just about,
Oh, yeah.
I'm not gonna do that.
It's fucked up.
What is it?
So this one here is, it's just another proof that the truth tellers are right or the
conspiracy theories are now truth tellers.
So Cash Patel has done something at least.
Still would rather see the Epson Islanders than this, but this, you know, this is right.
Yeah.
This is, this is Biden.
Yeah.
This is what they say was the mail in ballot.
That was in Wisconsin.
No, this is.
Yeah, that was Wisconsin.
I thought, I thought there was, I thought that was a national one.
No, that it was, it wasn't, because you can't, you keep, like the national vote doesn't matter,
right?
The total vote count doesn't matter.
Right.
Oh, well, because Hillary won then.
Who the fuck?
Well, no, the, the popular doesn't elect the president.
But this is the popular vote counts.
So it was Wisconsin.
Okay.
So apparently Cash Patel has found out that China was involved with this and this was,
this was a conversation back then.
So the post says evidence of a Chinese plot.
Yes.
That doesn't mean they did anything.
No.
So what it is is, well, I just found the first picture I could have put it up there to talk
about this story.
So basically what Chinese is being investigated for.
Yeah.
And it's going to Congress or we're going to Senate, I guess, is they, one, made a bunch of
fake driver's license that made people look like legit so they could vote.
And they also sent over the hard 20 million already filled up ballots.
20 million?
I think across the country, countrywide.
Still, what the fuck?
Well, I mean, I mean, there was.
How did they, where did they ship these for?
Like, I don't, how did nobody notice this?
They did, but the media just, we all knew it.
We all, there was evidence out that this happened.
There was weird truck.
There were, you have pulling up at the end of the night.
There were boxes on the tables that were already placed there in case they need them.
And then they, they, they cover all the windows of the room.
They basically went, a lot of the voting places did.
They go, Oh, the polls closed an hour ago.
We're going to take the break for the night.
Yeah.
We'll be back tomorrow.
Yeah.
What?
And the Republicans, they're, they walked through happy asses out and the Democrats
were like, lock the doors and cover the windows.
And apparently they couldn't get back in.
I guess there's no bricks in that area, but it's just, it's just something that it was
conspiracy back then.
I think here's the funny thing is that Reddit had a huge post this week.
Yeah.
Saying that Trump stole 2024 by some cheating mechanism.
Well, they first accused Elon Musk from doing it, which is still don't get that one.
But I guess he's a tech wizard and he just,
He just press the buttons and wave again.
Yeah.
He's going into the Dominion voting machines and just, because they weren't connected to
the internet, but Obama promised that they're, they're never connected to the internet.
Yeah.
But yeah, they were.
Because matter of fact, I think a girl just got arrested for giving out passwords to the
Dominion voting machines.
I, Jesus.
And then, and then there's a lady in Colorado, I think we've discussed this.
She's actually in jail still because she took evidence to the state of Colorado and said,
Hey, you were, I think we cheated.
Yeah.
And they locked her ass up and she's still in prison, but she's on prison for state charges,
not federal charges.
So Trump can't do anything because I'm pretty sure he would if he could because this is a,
it's pretty cool shit thing.
Yeah.
I think that, what else we got going on?
Yeah.
I think that's it.
It's for your stuff, right?
I mean, we can, if we, how far are we into the show?
Because we can come up with more, we're 40, 35 minutes.
That's why, like, I don't have any new stories.
Like I've been busy dealing with fucking bullshit this week.
Okay.
But let's, let's give away some money from last week's show.
All right.
So last week was a secret word challenge and the word was custody.
We had four people enter.
So we got Monero Mash.
What if I spell it right?
He's going to complain if he doesn't win.
You didn't spell my name right.
You got to do it again.
All right.
Monero Mash.
Al McGaest.
Mav McHugh.
And I'm.
All right.
So let's spin to win.
Al McGaest.
All right.
So you know the rules.
Come and find us.
Come get your money.
Okay.
So yeah.
Today, I'm going to be doing a little bit of a show.
I'm going to be doing a two-parter actually.
Okay.
So we're talking about fiat currency because Ron's been bitching about interest rates
and he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.
So I figured it's a good time to give a lesson on how this stuff actually works
because I assume like it's actually kind of like it's not like a hit against you
because most people don't understand this and it's designed on purpose
to make people not understand this.
It's like taxes.
Yes.
Fill in your.
Exactly.
And while it's not something you can go out and do to improve your life,
understanding this stuff is actually very important.
Okay.
So first question.
What is this?
Sorry, I didn't ask you a question.
A $1 bill.
That's a dollar?
Yeah.
Okay.
What is this?
That would be a silver dollar maybe.
So this is a dollar.
Yeah.
But you also said this is a dollar.
Yes.
How can that be?
Because we have a coin that's probably actually,
well, what year is that coin say on it?
This is 2023.
Okay.
So it's probably, well, I guess it's still worth a dollar.
If I take it through this bank, they'll give me a dollar.
Yes.
So this is the fucking scam that they pull on us, right?
Okay.
So this is a dollar, right?
And what this used to be was a promise for a dollar.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah.
But if you read it, it just says $1.
Right.
This is a dollar.
You have the right answer, right?
But if you go and you look up older,
oh, that's not where it was.
It was here.
If you go and look up older things that used to be called dollars.
Now, if you read this, it says $20 in gold coin payable to the bearer.
So, but hold on a second.
Now you're on this, the Gold Strictly.
So I believe this is the first 20 printed off of a series.
Okay.
But this is a special $20 bill.
No, this is how they all look in the 20s.
So all 20s look like this.
Yes.
The Gold Strictly certificate is they are different.
These are actually more collectible and they're technically worth more than 20.
Yes.
But okay.
So this is from the 20s.
And before it was in the 30s when they changed it to this.
Oh, so this is 1920.
Okay.
Yeah.
I got you.
So now the Federal Reserve was created in 1913.
And for a while, you could still redeem these things for money.
But if you wanted a gold coin from a bank,
go to that silver dollar.
It's not silver anymore, but it's part of the silver.
Well, this one is silver.
Oh, it's also?
Yes.
So could you go to the bank and give them that dollar and get a silver coin?
No.
That's because that's why they changed this to say one dollar.
Right.
Instead of one dollar payable to the bearer.
Right.
This is not $20.
This is a certificate, a gold certificate.
Yeah.
To collect $20.
And then they changed it in the 30s to where this is $20.
You can't collect.
There's nothing to collect.
This is $20.
So that's the scam they pulled on us, right?
And I'm going to go over the actual history of like fiat currency in general real quick.
So with coins, you so you guys know, if you look at the side of a coin,
you can see the progression of our economy because it used to be 100% silver and then 64.
64, they got rid of all the silver.
Well, they still put silver in there, but it's not.
No, they all the silver was gone.
What was the silver?
What was the shiny metal part?
Um, well, it was never all silver because silver is very soft and it tarnishes.
Okay.
So it would always be silver mixed with something.
Now this is pure silver.
Okay.
But like a silver dollar that you would use in commerce would be silver mixed with like
nickel and other hard things that so that you could carry it in your pocket and it wouldn't degrade.
So on the coin that was like from the 70s, it was a sliver of copper.
Yeah.
And then rest silver ish stuff.
And then if you look at one from, well, actually, when did the new quarters come out?
I don't fucking know.
Like, like 10 years ago, like they legit, there's nothing,
barely metal in those damn things.
Yeah.
So, but so with, with the history, I'm going to go all the way back to the ancient Rome.
Okay.
So in ancient societies, people only use precious metals.
I mean, like they only use commodities, right?
Or they use debt.
So like you would write down on a parchment, Ron owes me 30 barrels of rice and then like
next harvest, that would be my money, right?
This, this piece of paper is my money.
And that's actually how writing got invented in the first place.
But I'm actually going to go over that more in detail next week.
Okay.
So today I'm just going to talk about commodity monies, which was mostly precious metals.
Okay.
So people would trade gold and silver in the markets and governments realized that they could
enrich themselves by getting a monopoly on issuing these coins.
So like a common problem when you're dealing with coins is there could be counterfeits,
right?
Like you could paint lead with, with a thing called a silver and like it's hard to detect
that with just a weighing device.
So the governments would say, okay, if it has this seal, you know, it's good, right?
You know, it's real money.
Okay.
So governments monopolize this minting of coin and governments, because they have this
monopoly, they can't ever just spend within their means, right?
They always got to start wars and have glory for themselves and have palaces and, and orgies
and all this stupid shit, right?
So they would always spend more than they actually had in coin, right?
So they would take debts.
And then they realized that because they're the government, they're the monopoly issue
of currency, they could, they could get around these debts in ways that you or I cannot, right?
So things they would do is like clip the edges of the coins and make the coin a little bit smaller.
And they would do it like very imperceptibly.
So you wouldn't notice.
But every year, like the coin got smaller and smaller, right?
Weird.
Another thing they would do is put a bunch of coins in a bag and then shake the bag up.
And then there'd be dust, right?
Silver dust.
Yeah.
And then you would, you would melt that silver dust and make more coins.
Right?
So you, so you put 20 coins in and you got 21 coins back out, right?
Okay.
And then, so another thing they would do is they would just melt the coins and then mix in more
like lead or iron or other base metals and then make more coins, right?
So you, again, you would put 20 coins in and get 30 coins out.
So now the government is just richer by 30, by 10 extra coins.
And then they would just keep doing this and it would cause inflation because, right,
they would, they would pay for their wars and their bullshit with all these extra coins.
And then these coins would filter into the market and then prices would go up and then
you would have inflation.
And every single time the currency would eventually collapse, right?
This is, this is why empires collapse because they do this with the currency.
Really?
Yes.
But other people will say it's other bullshit.
Yeah.
But this is the real reason because when you destroy the money, right, you destroy the
incentives to be a good businessman.
You destroy morality, essentially.
Okay.
And there's great books on this.
Like I could, I could probably recommend it for a couple.
But yeah, so let's, let's, let's continue on.
So paper currency was invented in China in the 10th century.
And it was called Jiaozhi.
I'm not, I probably pronounced it wrong, but I'm not good at it.
I'm not good at it.
So, but this was, this was currency backed by commodities.
Like you saw with that $20 gold note.
So like you would have a Jiaozhi and it would say, well, you can go to the bank and pick up
some silver for the, for the Jiaozhi.
And it was just more convenient.
So they thought to carry the paper around because you don't want to be fucking
carrying a big person silver around.
It's heavy, right?
People can steal that shit.
And the paper is just, you can have a lot, lots of stacks of it.
So Kublai Khan, who I believe was the nephew of Genghis Khan,
he took over China in the 12th century, I believe it was.
And he came up with the idea of we're not going to back this paper currency anymore.
And that was called a Jiao Chao.
And I actually saw a Jiao Chao when I was in Mongolia in the museums.
Really?
They actually have these things.
So like, yeah, he just said, we're not going to redeem this for silver anymore.
The paper is the money and go fuck yourselves.
And we can print as much as we want so we can go fight wars and do whatever the fuck we want.
So like he was the first person to actually come up with this.
I don't think he came up with it.
It was probably one of his court wizards or whatever the fuck.
But yeah.
So Marco Polo, who was in China and Mongolia traveling at the time.
That's a real guy?
Yeah, Marco Polo's a real guy.
From Italy.
For some reason that's the pool game you brought.
Well, he also brought back spaghetti and yeah.
Okay.
Because they have noodles in China.
Yeah.
They didn't have noodles in Italy.
Well, that's funny because a lot of people don't know this.
Where were spaghetti invented at?
China.
Yeah, but it's given to the Italians and they invented it.
Well, from Marco Polo.
Yeah.
So Marco Polo brought, so he also brought back notes about how this paper currency worked, right?
He's like, this is the crazy shit they do over in China.
Like it's wild.
They're using paper for money.
Because back in Europe they were still using the coins, right?
It didn't occur to them.
So a couple hundred years later, some Italian bankers like reading Marco Polo and they're like,
well, we should probably do this, right?
So the DiMettici family, you might have heard that name before.
They started issuing paper notes backed by their gold because they were a gold bank,
essentially.
And they started issuing notes like the DiMettici bank,
payable to $20 in gold coins or whatever the fuck the currency was back then.
So eventually they realized that the gold just sat there in the vault.
And people rarely came in to collect their gold.
They would just take those paper notes and trade them in the market.
Right.
So what they realized they could do is they could just make more notes, right?
And put the notes in their pockets and become rich.
Right?
We're fucking rich now because we've made more notes in our pockets and you don't know the
difference.
You don't know the gold's not there.
And they would make loans against this.
Really?
I mean, this is how modern banking works.
I know.
That's what's going on now.
Yes.
I guess I'm shocked that I have it back.
It was like the Renaissance in the late 14th century.
So yeah, so they started making loans.
And eventually the idea spread across Europe.
I'm sure you've heard these names like Borja's, Rothschild's, all these banking clans,
like they all started back then.
Right.
So some people would say it's Jewish thing.
It's not a Jewish thing.
The Medici's were not Jewish.
The Borja's were not Jewish.
Everybody who fucking figured this out was doing it.
Okay.
Because it was a brand new idea.
Like I could make myself rich by writing things on paper.
It's wild.
Right?
But the problem is every once in a while people are going to come to the bank and say,
I want my gold.
Right.
And then you're going to realize you don't have the gold to cover all those notes.
So what happens?
Well, that's called a bank run.
And like the currency essentially collapses when that happens.
Right?
So what happens when that collapse happens?
Well, these are all rich powerful families who are in the governments.
Like several of them were popes, right?
Borja said popes, the Medici said popes.
So what they would do is just bail themselves out.
Right?
The government would now bail out these big bakers and say,
okay, we're going to take over the currency and then we're going to issue the notes and then we're
going to do this.
And essentially what happens is you get this.
Instead of $1 payable, this is just $1.
Here's a dollar.
You have $1.
Right?
So they would always bail them out and then make the currency paper.
And then that would eventually collapse too.
Right?
Because when you have paper, you can just write it up at will.
Let's think about it if you're a counterfeiter.
You're going to write yourself a trillion dollars.
Right?
And you're going to destroy the economy eventually, but you're going to get rich in the process.
Right.
And they always do it.
Right?
So the USA is not special.
Right?
And since you can tell that we're at this part of the stage, right?
This part of the cycle where they're giving us this bullshit that's not redeemable for anything
and writing $1 on it like it's real money, that means we're at the end of the cycle.
Right?
So it's going to blow up.
There's no doubt about it.
So you need to get out of these fucking worthless things
and into real money, which is this stuff, which is crypto, which is rice and beans,
which is ammo, which is anything that you can use when this finally becomes zero.
Well, we've talked about like, like whole prison currency.
Yes.
You know, cigarettes, little wood, like the crevices, that's the stuff that's going to be
valuable if and when the currency collapses.
Yeah.
So, so like this, this is just a history of fiat this week.
So next week, I'm going to go into interest rates and how our banking system actually
works in America because they did put a little spin on the Renaissance way of doing it to
make it last a little longer, make you a little more confused, make you believe in this stuff more.
But there's, there's, there's more to it than I want to spend on one episode.
So yeah, I'm going to, I'm going to go over that next week.
But yeah, so keep this stuff in mind and explain what fiat means.
Fiat means I know I declare it.
It's an algorithm.
It's not say it's a no, the F the F stands for something.
No, no, it's not.
Yeah.
So yeah, it's a Latin word that means I declare it.
You look it up if you want.
I believe it stands for something.
No, it doesn't.
It's a Latin word.
You can actually argue with me on this.
No, no, no, I.
It's a Latin word that means I declare.
So like you're a magic sorcerer and you, I, you declare it so it's real.
How do you spell a fiat?
Fiat.
F.
Oh, like the car.
Yeah.
It's, yeah, it's Latin.
I mean, I should probably put it in me.
No, I, because I've been told, I mean, maybe some guy made it up and.
Of course they made it up.
Everyone makes everything up.
Everything's made up.
No, it's like.
Yeah, it's too common of a word, but a fiat currency, maybe.
No, this is a formal authorization or preposition, a decree.
I declare this to be such and that's and such.
I always thought the fiat was meant something.
So like a lot of people will say crypto is fiat because it's not backed,
but, but fiat does not mean unbacked.
It means I declare like some wizard is telling you this money.
Read that fucking definition.
Yeah.
Fiat currency is government issued money that isn't.
Right.
Backed by physical commonly like the older silver.
Right.
That's why they changed the word.
No, no, I get that, but we've always been told our goal, our money is backed.
When we told that Richard Nixon went on TV in 1971 and said we're not backing
by no anymore.
He said temporarily.
So any day now they're going to bring it back, right?
Temporarily.
Okay, motherfuckers.
No, it's all fucking bullshit.
Like this is not backed by anything.
This is fiat.
Then it's a Latin word.
It means I declare.
Oh, well, I always thought fiat.
I thought the, I forget the word I'm looking for, but I don't know what the fuck.
East letters is the same.
That's an acronym, but that's acronym.
That's not what fiat is.
Oh, okay.
Wow.
You learn something every day.
There you go.
So, okay, because I know you're a crypto guy.
So you, are you saying people should go into crypto and not that at all?
I mean, like keep enough of this around that you can pay your bills because
most people will only take this shit, but like don't stuff tons of it.
Like don't have a giant bank account.
Don't stuff tons of it under your mattress.
Like any more than you're willing to lose essentially.
Because eventually this is all going to zero.
Huh.
Well, it doesn't matter how many fucking numbers you put out here.
It's going to be worth zero.
But I guess we've had this discussion before.
How do you spend your crypto if there's a major event in the world?
There'll be ways.
There'll be ways to do it.
Yes, I don't, I just, I don't, I just don't know.
I mean, I don't, I don't understand.
We're not going to lose electricity.
Like electricity is a very basic scientific thing that a lot of people understand.
And we're not, it's not going away.
Okay.
I mean, you do understand over our electrical pollers from this country,
I've been trying to.
That has nothing to do with anything.
Okay.
And China is maybe back in Iran.
What makes you think we can't make them?
We can't make them today.
Okay.
That's fine.
We can't make them to fall.
So the power is out for a week.
The power is out for a month.
Like people who are making.
We got this conversation.
People who are making these things in the 1870s.
With horses and fucking steam power.
Don't tell me we can't make this.
Actually, no.
So we might be okay here because I believe what percentage of ours is hydro power here?
I don't know.
Because of the Hoover dam, which is electricity.
Now that, well, no, but you would still need transformers to step it down.
Anyone can make it.
It's not that fucking hard.
These are basic components that are over 100 years old.
Like a fucking college level, uh, freshman textbook will tell you how to do it.
So I will look it up this week.
I might, I'll look it up this week.
I might make a transformer to see how hard it actually is.
I might need to wait till the, the, the fourth of July weekend.
So I got an extra day.
I mean, I know people make Tesla coils and all sorts of crazy shit.
They're in their garages.
So this coil shit about making electricity, it's easy to do.
I've done that.
Yeah.
And I've lit, I've lit a light bulb.
Yeah.
But I want to light more than a light bulb.
No, I understand.
Like I can make circuits.
It's not like with wires with copper, like little copper wires.
I can make circuits.
Because it's hard.
Because I'm hard.
I think I mentioned this before, like the magnets in the microwave,
those are the fucking magnets you want.
Those are some powerful fucking magnets.
Huh.
But you do your new topic.
Okay.
But I'm gonna look, I'm gonna look at next.
Cause I don't think they're as easy to make as you think.
And they're definitely easy.
I don't think that I really don't think they are, but I don't know.
We've been doing it for over 100 years.
When, when people were still shitting in outhouses, we were doing it.
We've been making shoes for over 100 years.
Can you make shoes?
I don't need to make a shoe.
Somebody can make a shoe.
And then, and then how are you gonna pay for it?
With my crypto.
What the fuck?
What are you talking about?
Not with this, not with this fucking piece of paper.
This is going to be used for warmth.
So we had this conversation.
This is going to be used to fire up the steam engine to make the electricity.
We had this conversation at his barbecue this weekend.
And it was a Sunday or Monday.
I was watching something and they were making a shoe.
But what it was, it was basically a piece of bark.
Yeah.
With straps on it.
Yeah, why not?
I mean, it works.
Kind of old tires, dude.
Old tires are great.
I mean, they drive cars around.
But I want like the swoosh on there.
Well, too bad.
That requires a lot more infrastructure.
And that the patents and the copyright issues.
The lawyers and lawyers.
That's all that's what's making it.
Not by a Nike product.
That's what's making it work.
My boyfriend is on it.
All right.
So I took a class on turning dirt into soil.
Do you know the definition?
Do you know the difference between dirt and soil?
I mean, like soil would have like minerals and enriched stuff in it for plants to grow.
Yeah.
And dirt is just any kind of shit.
Yeah.
More like, and then soil has got the nutrition in there.
So because living in the desert here, it's a struggle to grow stuff.
I'm actually doing pretty well this year so far.
My corn is, some of my corn is knee high.
Not all of it is right now.
You got like 12 days, 13 days, something like that.
The knee high for the 4th of July.
But that's the Midwest thing.
Technically here in Vegas, it should be, I should be harvesting corn pretty soon.
But I also didn't get it until April.
So, but some of my planted seeds in the garden, some I started to season the house.
And I did that and I've got some in planters.
I'm growing corn in different, or actually all my plants.
I've got some plants in the garden, some plants in pots.
Some I started from seeds, some I planted the seed.
I'm just, I'm trying to learn how this stuff works.
So I know what the best route is.
And they always say the best thing to do in Vegas is raise garden beds.
I don't want to do that.
Raise garden what?
A raised garden bed.
Basically, yeah, grow yourself in a box.
I mean, I can grow tomatoes in a five gallon bucket,
but I'm just, I'm a more of a traditionalist.
I grew up growing tomato plants in the ground.
I mean, but the problem is I grew up in an area where if you're eating tomato like an apple
and you sneeze two weeks later, you're gonna come back,
there's gonna be two tomato plants there.
It's just, that's just how easy it was to grow.
This has been a challenge.
So I'm now looking into what I'm not doing to get my shit to grow properly.
And I'm focusing on dirt, which also water was brought up.
So I got advice on water as well.
But basically you want to, you can turn dirt into nutrition.
When I show, so I took a class with,
he's Las Vegas Worm Farm and it's actually his website is LasVegasWormFarm.com.
His name is Dennis Witcher, probably butchering that last name.
So, I mean, this, this gets very scientific.
It talks about, you know, worm castings, compost, mulch, microfibers,
like this word right here.
Phosphorus?
Yeah, phosphorus, baron, iron, nitrogen.
I thought if I found out today, my corn might do better if I do plant more nitrogen.
So I've got that going for me.
It's got a potassium.
The oxygen in the air is mostly nitrogen.
Well, okay, so, okay, oh oxygen in the air.
Because that's the other thing they talk about.
You may not want to till your garden,
which I've always grown up till in my garden.
Because you don't want to disrupt the soil.
So what the method that I chose was what Dennis recommended was
worm castings and compost.
So you put down a limited amount of worm castings.
It's, we came down to like a tablespoon per plant kind of at the base.
What's the worm casing?
It's the casings of worms.
What's it casing?
Is it shit?
Is it worm shit?
Is that what you're talking about?
You know, I actually didn't ask him what the worm,
I've always heard of worm cases.
I've never used them before.
Yeah, I can actually look that up.
So I actually shouldn't know that.
But I bought his worm casings.
I think it's just, I thought it was just like,
do they shed like a stick?
Because worm castings,
well, it's, it's, no, it's
worm casting.
What is a worm casting?
Oh, okay.
Maybe the casting is the same as casings then,
because it has castings in here as well.
Your plant needs, it's a, so worm castings,
your plant needs micro, micro microbes
to unlock the nutrients they need to survive.
If your soil doesn't have these microbes,
your plants are missing out on nutrients.
Yes, it's worm shit.
It's worm shit.
They provide the bacteria.
Just, why don't they say shit?
It's worm shit.
I know.
Like compost, it's, it's, it's shit.
And poop.
But it adds essential stuff to your garden,
but you also mix it with compost.
So this is what was interesting.
He goes, you put the worm casings down first,
and then you put your compost on top of that.
And then you got to put the roof on your garden.
Oh.
And the roof is something to protect all that.
It could be mulch.
It could be, I wouldn't recommend hay,
because hay goes away too quickly.
Yeah.
But yeah, so I've chosen mulch.
So I'm kind of putting the roof on the house of mulch.
And then this is, I did this like two weeks ago.
So I'm kind of seeing stuff is growing a little bit faster,
I think.
But I also don't know if that's just the
natural order of things.
It just starts to grow.
Mike was saying, we had him on the show a while ago,
he was saying that you could take mushrooms
and put them in a blender with some water
and make a paste, right?
And you could put the paste on that soil,
and then you'd have mushrooms.
Like mushrooms would just grow.
And that's what he was saying.
And it sounds right.
Mushrooms are like that.
Like they're fungi.
Maybe indoors.
I don't think outdoors.
Oh, I'm not sure.
I'll ask him just in my seat.
It's probably more likely indoors, especially in Vegas.
Yeah.
But yeah.
Well, I truly, I'm struggling to get mushrooms to grow,
which is odd because again, moisture, dirt, shit,
mushrooms grow.
So there are numerous different ways to make your dirt
nutrient rich.
I've chosen the worm, I guess, casting.
I grew up going, it's casings, maybe they changed the word on it.
Maybe it's casing.
I don't know.
It's, yeah, it's weird.
But again, I'm not the expert here.
I'm just letting you know what I learned and look into it
because there's multiple different options you can do this with.
But the one thing I found the most interesting
is you have to water your garden.
Yeah.
And then in most states, your garden comes to its natural end
and that's usually in the fall.
Here, I do believe I can carry my garden throughout the year
and then I would use hay because at that point,
I'm just kind of protecting the roots,
keeping them warm where the plant will stay alive.
But if you were to close your garden down for the winter,
you still need to water it because your soil is alive.
There's a bacteria in there and it needs water to survive the winter
until you use it again.
That's what I actually found interesting.
So, so if you, if you're struggling with your garden,
look to find out what good soil is.
Don't buy the soil.
If you want to buy the soil, just stay away from like
Merica grow and that kind of crap.
Well, somebody brought it up in the class and the guy goes,
I'll stay away from Merica grow because Merica grow feeds the plant.
It doesn't feed the ground.
Okay.
He's like, you don't need to feed your plant.
You feed the ground and the ground will feed your plants.
And that's, it's just more of a natural thing.
So that's, that's the, that's the path I'm moving down now
because I don't live in the Midwest really more where it's just fucking,
shit just grows.
My grandfather, dude, he used to grow tomatoes this big around.
And he was probably, my mom has a,
I think she still does tomato gardens.
Yeah.
He would pull the seeds out every year and he would,
uh, uh, well, what's that word?
Yeah.
You make the seeds ready to grow next year.
Yeah.
He, he took his tomatoes serious.
I mean, like tomatoes is one of those things where like the grocery store
just, it's not, it's not comparable at all.
Oh yeah.
You have a fresh tomato out of a garden to whatever you buy in the store.
Yeah.
There is a difference.
So yeah.
So look into that for your garden and, you know, to, to make your garden,
make your dirt living.
Make your own compost.
My wife's actually having a great time managing our compost pile.
Cause it's fairly new to us.
I mean, we lived in Chicago,
I mean, she's shoveling your shit all over the place.
Like you just, you just out of your mouth all day long.
Oh, okay.
So yeah, that's, that's what I recommend you do is, uh,
look into providing a good soil.
But yeah, the reason they don't want you to till is because it will,
it will disrupt the, the natural order of things.
Maybe the force doesn't get tilled, right?
No.
And that's a good point.
Like one guy was, is that you could just use a pitch fork,
stick it to the ground and just kind of twist it.
Yeah.
Kind of just, you know, mix it up a little bit.
Yeah.
So no, it's, it was, it was really interesting.
I'm going to take it more of these classes
because I'm just, I'm just not happy that I don't have a thriving garden.
Yeah.
I will get there.
So, uh, we'll just see.
Cool.
All right.
I think that's it for me.
You got anything else?
Nope.
See you next week.
