00:00:00
I don't have a problem. No one has a problem with legal

00:00:03
immigration. But if you're going to move

00:00:05
65 Indian tech engineers to the front of the line so that

00:00:10
they can take the the jobs of the ones here or most of them or

00:00:14
however it works out and continue to do that yearly, I

00:00:17
think that's where people have an issue.

00:00:19
Think about it. Religion has actually convinced

00:00:22
people that there's an Invisible Man living in the sky who

00:00:27
watches everything you do, every minute of every day.

00:00:30
And the Invisible Man has a special list of 10 things he

00:00:33
does not want you to do. And if you do any of these 10

00:00:36
things, he has a special place full of fire and smoke and

00:00:39
burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live

00:00:42
and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and

00:00:45
ever till the end of time. But he loves you.

00:00:56
Welcome to Stay in the Grave podcast.

00:00:58
We explore news that gets people talking by blending comedy and

00:01:02
controversy. I'm Ryan and I'm Trey.

00:01:16
Together, we dive into tough topics with a combination of

00:01:19
humor and some insight to join us as we navigate the Gray areas

00:01:25
of the world and we're engaging in real conversation.

00:01:28
Come get to know us all right? Hey guys, I'm excited to be

00:01:32
here. It's been a while.

00:01:34
I've been sick. I'm antsy, I'm excited.

00:01:36
I'm ready to roll. It's been pent up.

00:01:40
I was sick all Christmas. My kids fucking bring home shit

00:01:45
from school and I'm out. My wife's out.

00:01:49
We're just, our house was a germ farm, but things are getting

00:01:52
better and there's so much look, our, our, our country's jacked

00:01:57
up right now. The world's jacked up, but our

00:02:00
country's is jacked up. Just when you think one, one

00:02:04
side's this way, the other side's that way, then it gets

00:02:07
all clustered fucked. And we're, we're going to talk

00:02:10
about it. I'm excited.

00:02:12
I'm excited to be back. I, you know, this is what I need

00:02:15
to be. This is what I do.

00:02:16
And so I hope you guys appreciate me being a little bit

00:02:20
under the weather. I know I'm not supposed to be

00:02:22
drinking while under the weather.

00:02:25
However, I do have a cocktail in hand.

00:02:32
It is vodka. Let me tell you, when you

00:02:35
haven't had a chance to get to the liquor store, vodka with

00:02:39
some of your kids, mango. Mango passion fruit punch does

00:02:44
the trick. So I'm enjoying a dab of that

00:02:46
with a nice Tito's vodka. So let's get rolling.

00:02:50
Let's do the headlines that made it through editing somehow.

00:02:54
This one was a was an actual headline and you know, obviously

00:02:58
you know what what they're trying to say, but they just

00:03:00
can't quite get it out. This one says fireworks show to

00:03:03
be aired on the radio. All right, I don't feel like

00:03:08
they're going to get a good ratings for that, but you know,

00:03:13
good luck to them. Let's go to but her comments to

00:03:17
the show. You know, I I used to enjoy this

00:03:19
and I think I'm I'm I'm starting to doubt doing this anymore

00:03:24
because I just feel like people are I just you know, I I'm

00:03:27
trying not to name call. So you substitute what you think

00:03:32
I'm about to say, but my goodness gracious, it is to the

00:03:36
point where, you know, I'm starting to realize the more

00:03:39
I've been getting involved, the the more I'm growing that there

00:03:43
are people that wake up in the morning looking for the term

00:03:46
troll is an actual, actual thing.

00:03:49
I thought, all right, you know, just something to, to to say to

00:03:52
the people that were being unpleasant.

00:03:57
But the I really feel like these people get up, You know, they

00:03:59
have 11 subscriber on YouTube, a picture of a damn cat and

00:04:06
they've been on here since 2019. And but man, they're ready to

00:04:11
call you names and to tell you you're an idiot and that your

00:04:15
show sucks. Those are called trolls.

00:04:18
That's what I've learned. And I just don't get what does

00:04:23
it make you feel better about yourself to stop on a real on a

00:04:28
short on a on a show and say, hey, you know, you suck.

00:04:33
I can tell you if I thought every single person would like

00:04:37
what I have to say and would like this show, then I this is

00:04:43
not a good business because I would be taking a lot of

00:04:45
rejection. I am aware that not everybody

00:04:48
likes this, but do you need to stop and say it?

00:04:51
Go ahead. You're going to make butter

00:04:53
comment to the show and people can, you know, enjoy have some

00:04:58
entertainment of your your pettiness.

00:05:00
But you know, this one's this one was funny here short slash

00:05:05
reel that we put up and all it was was about the small town in

00:05:11
Canada that was being fined for refusing to fly the pride flag

00:05:17
during pride month. And they were being fined.

00:05:20
And I and I thought that was you can't find somebody.

00:05:22
You can look at them and go, I don't agree with that, but

00:05:26
define them. I, I didn't agree with it.

00:05:28
That was just my opinion that I came to and this comment said,

00:05:33
keep on making stuff up just to cry about it.

00:05:38
And immediately I, I, I just was like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:05:42
First off, if you're going to and I got to stop myself and

00:05:44
realize these people are these people, but you better not what

00:05:48
I make up. It was an actual story told a

00:05:51
story didn't make anything up, and my opinion is my opinion and

00:05:56
I and I'll stay. It's an opinion.

00:05:59
It's not a fact that they shouldn't be fined.

00:06:01
It's my opinion they shouldn't be fined.

00:06:03
So you know, there was no crying.

00:06:05
I mean, I didn't see one tear during that real slash short.

00:06:09
So I'm not sure what this guy was talking about.

00:06:11
And so I just told him to like and subscribe unless you're a

00:06:14
bot again, this is one of those that had, you know, zero to 1

00:06:19
subscriber and has been on here for quite a while.

00:06:23
And I think this is probably, you know, the, the the name is

00:06:25
JWDAHNXJI mean one of these one of these accounts.

00:06:30
So maybe it's a bot and maybe that bot got me.

00:06:33
So let's start focusing on AI and the war on social media with

00:06:40
AI. The other one for was was kind

00:06:43
of something that I I ended up again having to block.

00:06:47
I'm just, you know, we'll, we'll get to that because Elon's

00:06:50
decided that that Twitter slash X is, there's some stuff going

00:06:56
on that platform right now. And, and we're going to talk

00:06:58
about it tonight. But one of the things is, is a,

00:07:01
an algorithm that's blocking people actually matters.

00:07:04
And it's, and it's kind of like, whoa, whoa, whoa, let's tap the

00:07:07
brakes on that. And, and so, you know, people

00:07:10
are just blocking left and right.

00:07:12
And I'm trying not to do that because I don't want to silence

00:07:15
assholes. I don't want to silence people.

00:07:18
All I've ever said is I want to talk to people.

00:07:20
So by doing that, I feel a little bit hypocritical and I

00:07:23
hate hypocrites. But this, you know, at a certain

00:07:27
point you got to say, OK, enough's enough, we're going to

00:07:32
move on from it. And I feel like, you know, I had

00:07:35
a video where I, I put up, I mean, I've had a bunch of them,

00:07:39
but this, this, so the, the free healthcare really just gets

00:07:43
people and you, you know, it's, it's somebody that looks at me

00:07:47
and goes, finally goes, you're right, or, or excuse me, you're

00:07:51
wrong. I'm right.

00:07:52
That's the end of it really. I, I, I don't, I don't agree

00:07:56
with that. First off.

00:07:58
And you know, I try to say, look, I'm not going to get into

00:08:01
this with you because I've, it just doesn't work.

00:08:04
So that's the other tactic is to sit here.

00:08:06
And, and then lastly, you have these people that go, hey, blah,

00:08:10
blah, blah, blah, blah, You're this, this, this and this.

00:08:13
And then and then they block you so you can't respond.

00:08:17
And that's the most cowardly pussy act that there is.

00:08:22
If you're, if you're going to go in here and talk and be a

00:08:25
keyboard warrior, I learned that term behind a picture of a

00:08:29
fucking cat, at least have the balls to hear my response.

00:08:33
And then maybe if you don't like it, we can block each other.

00:08:37
But to go in here and spout off and then immediately block, man,

00:08:41
what a loser. So any of you that might be

00:08:44
seeing this, that have done that looking at you.

00:08:47
And I know I said the last, but I just remembered another one,

00:08:50
which again, it was so many gums on and goes, I did a video the

00:08:55
other day about how I've been sick and, and you know, usually

00:08:58
we do Tuesday and Friday releases and Friday we we missed

00:09:01
it because of being sick. And I put out something that

00:09:04
said, hey, look, this is what's going on.

00:09:07
New show trying to be upbeat. It's 65 damn degrees in Dallas,

00:09:11
TX. And I'm the guy that wants the

00:09:13
snow. If it's winter, it needs to be

00:09:15
snow or at least cold. And it, it, it has not been.

00:09:19
And so I was out in short sleeves and, and I just put up a

00:09:23
video. Why not?

00:09:25
Whether you like me or not, I have people that listen to this

00:09:28
show. I just do.

00:09:31
I have the analytics, I have the data to support that.

00:09:34
You may think it's low. I think it's pretty good for as

00:09:38
long as I've been doing this and if I reach anybody, I'm happy.

00:09:43
But this guy comes on and he goes literally use the word

00:09:48
literate, which everybody knows is another pet peeve.

00:09:51
He was literally nobody cares about you.

00:09:56
And I thought that was nice of him.

00:09:58
Thank you for coming on and taking the time to stop what

00:10:03
you're doing and tell me that you don't care that I just put

00:10:08
out something that said, hey everybody, I hope you had a

00:10:10
Merry Christmas. I've been sick, you know, blah,

00:10:13
blah, blah. But no, you had to say that.

00:10:15
So either he heard something before that he didn't like and

00:10:18
he's lashing out, or he's just a piece of shit and he's a troll

00:10:24
or he's a bot and he said that. So, you know, again, I should

00:10:28
just ignore these people. But you know what?

00:10:29
Interactions, interaction, right?

00:10:31
So I, I, I just respond. And simply, that's not true.

00:10:34
I have analytics to prove otherwise.

00:10:36
At least somebody does care, not literally nobody.

00:10:41
So there's my butthurt comments to the show segment.

00:10:45
It, it's, it's not that creative.

00:10:48
It's just a bunch of trolls. Give me something creative.

00:10:52
And I've had some, I've had some good ones.

00:10:54
The other, you know, but I didn't want to do them tonight.

00:10:56
I'll do them next show. Maybe because of the main topic

00:10:59
tonight is what they were responding to, and there's some

00:11:03
good ones there. But it's just be creative, be,

00:11:05
be, give me some substance behind the insults at least.

00:11:10
But usually when you immediately come on with your credentials

00:11:14
and insults, that means you don't have anything if you have

00:11:17
to tell somebody. So let's move on from butter

00:11:20
comments. I wanted to mention real fast

00:11:23
and I thought this was fucking hilarious.

00:11:25
Before we do news, President Biden says he regrets

00:11:31
withdrawing from the election. He claims he would be have would

00:11:36
have been victorious over Donald Trump.

00:11:39
Now, I've already read this enough to where my laughter is

00:11:42
gone. So I, I can do the show and, and

00:11:44
tell you that he said this. Two things.

00:11:48
Two things. One, if Biden or anybody else

00:11:51
thinks that he actually had say and whether he was going to drop

00:11:55
out or not, you're on something because that man was tossed to

00:12:00
the curb by that party. He had no say.

00:12:05
And #2 you think you had a chance to beat Donald Trump

00:12:10
after not only the performance you gave at the debate, but just

00:12:14
your performance as a president in the last four years.

00:12:17
Then you're also on something. So I thought it was very

00:12:21
interesting. And I don't even know if he knew

00:12:23
he was saying it or if somebody told him to say it or if, if,

00:12:26
what does this do? What does this do for the

00:12:28
Democratic Party to have Joe Biden come on and say, I, I

00:12:31
should have stayed in, even though they know damn well that

00:12:34
it wasn't him that bowed out. He was pushed out.

00:12:37
What does it do? Does it kind of make up for it

00:12:39
saying, oh, man, we, we could have won this thing.

00:12:41
We're we're we're good for 2028 or does it kind of make them

00:12:46
look petty? I just thought it was funny and

00:12:48
that you should know that Biden thinks that he could have won

00:12:51
and should have stayed in it. I'm not sure which year he

00:12:54
thinks it is. Good luck, Joe.

00:12:57
So let's do news. It's my two drink news, but I

00:13:12
only made one this time. So you can wait for three

00:13:15
seconds. Those were three Mississippi's.

00:13:21
But yeah, you'll be all right. All right, how about this?

00:13:26
Let's talk about commutes to work and to school.

00:13:29
And, you know, I had, I had one, I think back in the day that was

00:13:32
about 45 minutes to work, never to school that long.

00:13:36
You know, I've been lucky to have kind of the commutes have

00:13:38
been under an hour, which is still long, but it gave me time

00:13:42
to drink coffee, listen to some tunes back in the in the 90s and

00:13:45
2000s when you didn't have everybody on their phone and

00:13:47
crashing into one another. But this takes it to a whole new

00:13:51
level. And I'm going to butcher this.

00:13:54
Guangli Zhu, the 28 year old student from China, if you can,

00:13:58
couldn't tell by my perfect Chinese slash Mandarin accent.

00:14:02
I'm not sure which one it is, but he's he's in his final

00:14:07
semester at the Royal Melbourne Institute in Australia.

00:14:12
This isn't an online class. I'm sure some of it is, but it's

00:14:16
not an all online class. It says he posted a video on

00:14:21
Duyen Dalian, which apparently is the Chinese TikTok.

00:14:26
I thought TikTok was owned by China so I didn't know they had

00:14:29
to have their own. Maybe this just means TikTok in

00:14:32
Chinese? I don't know.

00:14:33
I don't know but the Chinese version of TikTok he put he

00:14:38
posted a a a video about his weekly commute.

00:14:41
His weekly commute is 5468 miles.

00:14:49
That's a long way to get across from New York to LA is about

00:14:53
3500 miles or maybe a little less I believe.

00:14:58
Tell me if I'm wrong, but it's not 5000 and I didn't think it

00:15:01
was 5000 from China to Australia, but I'm learning

00:15:04
better and better geography with all the news I give you.

00:15:09
This guy was from the Des. Look, I'm not Chinese, I, I, I

00:15:14
never claimed to to know how to speak it or the accent or the

00:15:17
pronunciation. So Des Howell, which is in the

00:15:20
Shandong, don't mean to laugh, but I'm laughing at myself.

00:15:25
The Shandong Providence and he would go to Melbourne and back

00:15:30
in each week he 11 times made the trip during a semester just

00:15:35
from August to December it was a semester or September to

00:15:39
December $1500 round trip which isn't too bad.

00:15:44
You know, for us over here in the United States, that trip to

00:15:48
Australia is a lot more money than that.

00:15:50
I believe. I don't think you can get one

00:15:52
for 750 even back in the back with the peasants.

00:15:56
But he claims, and his quote was, I think the money is better

00:16:00
spent to stay at home. So man, I don't know.

00:16:04
I don't, I don't know. And maybe you do your school

00:16:07
work on the commute. Maybe he likes to fly.

00:16:10
Maybe I don't know. I don't what would you do?

00:16:12
I'm, I'm, I'm kind of torn. I thought about it and I, you

00:16:15
know, the experience, but it just seems like why not stay and

00:16:18
embrace another culture and try and learn it and experience it

00:16:22
and you can go back home after. But I guess maybe he's either

00:16:26
got a big set, a case of homesickness, or he prefers his

00:16:31
own culture every day. Fair enough.

00:16:35
Next sister. Meaning none for the layman

00:16:41
sister Anna. I'm going to say Anna 'cause

00:16:43
she's Italian. So I think that sounds more

00:16:45
Italian. Anna Donnelly was arrested in

00:16:49
relation to Mafia investigations in northern Italy.

00:16:54
So she's a volunteer at a prison.

00:16:56
You can't make this up. And it gave her as a volunteer,

00:17:00
as a nun, and it gave her this access to penitentiary can't

00:17:05
talk the all the facilities. And So what happened was that

00:17:09
she was relaying messages between the Indrangheda mafia

00:17:15
and all the incarcerated members of that group.

00:17:17
So she was like, you know, getting private information from

00:17:21
1:00 to the other, and I guess they're in their master plan of

00:17:24
whatever the hell they were going to do, and she's awaiting

00:17:27
trial. That story is very quick and

00:17:30
very simple, but I just picture a nun going to visit a prison

00:17:35
and being sentenced for dealing with the mafia or aiding and

00:17:39
abiding the mafia. I don't know if that's what God

00:17:42
meant when He said good deeds, but what do I know?

00:17:47
All right, here's some fun facts.

00:17:48
Real quick, this is my third bit of news and then we're going to

00:17:51
move on because I got a lot to get to.

00:17:53
These are 4 facts that I found I found entertaining about the

00:17:56
human body. The butt is the largest muscle

00:18:00
in the body. So the glute glute, and I

00:18:04
thought it was the tongue, but I guess that's the most, the

00:18:06
strongest is the tongue anyway. But the butt is the largest,

00:18:11
apparently the largest muscle Luteus, whatever it's called in

00:18:15
Latin, the way we sit, which you know, I, I have bad posture, as

00:18:20
you can tell. But the way we sit, it affects

00:18:23
our memories. If you're looking up, you'll

00:18:27
remember your good memories, your positive memories, the good

00:18:30
times in your life better than if you're looking down.

00:18:34
And I think maybe that's why everybody's an asshole these

00:18:37
days is because everybody's looking down into their fucking

00:18:40
phone or looking down to avoid eye contact because everybody's

00:18:44
pissed at the world and they're remembering bad stuff.

00:18:47
That's my theory, but it's very interesting.

00:18:51
So I don't know if everybody's supposed to walk around and just

00:18:53
kind of like, you know, looking up.

00:18:55
But if you're meditating or if you're, you know, daydreaming,

00:19:00
relaxing, having a cup of coffee, having a drink at night,

00:19:04
keep your head up and you'll remember the maybe that's where

00:19:07
the phrase keep your chin up comes from.

00:19:10
And you know what? If everybody already knew this

00:19:12
and I'm just throwing shit out there, then fuck you because I'm

00:19:15
excited that I learned something.

00:19:17
So there we go. Dirty hair can help the

00:19:22
environment. Did you know that it absorbs the

00:19:27
ozone? Because of this, I guess the

00:19:30
scalp oils absorbent, which makes them look, I guess, dirty.

00:19:36
So if you see me on a day where my hair looks greasy, you're

00:19:40
welcome environmentalist, I'm here for you.

00:19:44
Lastly, did you know that humans actually glow?

00:19:47
I immediately thought of Twilight and the and the

00:19:50
vampires how they sparkle and I don't know whether that makes me

00:19:54
kind of a a weenie or if any of you thought of that when I just

00:19:58
said that humans glow. Please comment if you did so

00:20:01
that I know I'm not alone. 1000 times less intense than levels

00:20:05
that are human eye can spot. That's why we can't see it.

00:20:09
I wonder if there is there anything else that can see it

00:20:12
that might be able to capture that.

00:20:15
Maybe that's, you know, two different animal, we glow and

00:20:18
freak them out. It goes up and down each day and

00:20:21
the least amount of glow is at 10:00 AM in the morning.

00:20:25
Makes sense. Wake up coughing kind of, you

00:20:27
know, whatever long day the most is 4:00 PM.

00:20:32
And I think maybe that's maybe we're trained with the work day.

00:20:36
So people are like, OK, 5:00 is almost here. 4:00 I'm going

00:20:39
ready to roll Happy hour. Let's get drunk.

00:20:41
Let's party or let's go home and watch, binge some show.

00:20:46
But either way, 4 O clock is when you're at your brightest.

00:20:50
So there you go. That was news.

00:20:52
Quick news because I have two main main topics to get to

00:20:56
tonight and I wanted to kind of latch onto the last show and the

00:21:01
last show was my Christmas show. I missed a show in between.

00:21:04
This will be the New Year's Eve release.

00:21:07
I don't have any fun facts about New Year's.

00:21:09
That was a my old Co host Trey. That was his his responsibility.

00:21:14
He was the good good, always good with those facts and and

00:21:17
lists about holidays and events. I failed you in that regard for

00:21:22
New Year's. But I would like to piggyback on

00:21:26
to what I was talking about with Christmas and religion because I

00:21:30
started thinking about it after I rewatched the show that

00:21:34
released on Christmas. It's episode 420.

00:21:37
Go back and check it out. I have a beautiful Pittsburgh

00:21:40
Penguins Christmas sweater. But I start thinking about how

00:21:43
Christmas, it's a season. To me, it's, you know, how many

00:21:48
times during the Christmas season, the holiday season in

00:21:52
this country, as so many lefties mainly like to say, religious.

00:21:57
Of course, the Christians are get angry about that and they're

00:22:00
mostly right wing, but it just seems like more of a season.

00:22:05
It doesn't seem like I hear too many, you know, Oh, I'm so

00:22:10
excited about Jesus's birthday coming up.

00:22:13
It's more of I'm excited about Christmas or I'm excited about

00:22:16
going to look at lights or the Christmas tree or if you're a

00:22:20
child or an adult, a presence, sweet presence, visiting with

00:22:26
family, drinking eggnog, watching Christmas vacation,

00:22:30
watching cheesy fucking Hallmark movies that I I did a one so far

00:22:35
with my wife and I'm willing to do more because I don't mind

00:22:39
them that much. I'll admit it.

00:22:41
And then I watch football, but it's a season and so I started

00:22:47
thinking about it and it but it makes people happy.

00:22:49
I just feel like, you know, this year's maybe a little different

00:22:53
in the election and everybody's still kind of wanting to fight

00:22:56
and spit at each other. But overall it's it seems like

00:22:59
it's it's more of a season. And I like that to a point.

00:23:03
You know, Christians die hard, You know, even, you know, Jews

00:23:08
and Muslims and things like that can embrace the season.

00:23:10
They don't. It doesn't have to be.

00:23:12
That's not my religion. I can't embrace everybody being

00:23:16
Cherry. I can't embrace the, you know,

00:23:17
beautiful lights, New York City and Christmas is something

00:23:21
special. I was able to go up there in

00:23:23
December and see it. It's it's and all of this

00:23:28
surrounds the Christian faith. But there was, you know, and I

00:23:33
should have pulled it up. Maybe I'll post it on social

00:23:34
media. You have the United Arab

00:23:36
Emirates, main airline, Emirates.

00:23:40
And I realized people that they, that they're, they have probably

00:23:44
done things the right way and they've used their oil money to

00:23:47
create this beautiful city, as we know, called Dubai that many

00:23:53
tourists go to and want to see. And so they're catering to those

00:23:57
tourists. I get that, but they had I've

00:24:01
never seen anything like it where they had motorized Santa

00:24:05
and and reindeer pulling not really, but pulling the plane

00:24:10
and as it took off, Santa took off 1st and the plane took off

00:24:13
behind it and it was just cool. But this was a this is an Arab

00:24:16
country. Technically it's the United Arab

00:24:18
Emirates. And so to do that is what we

00:24:21
should all be doing. Let's all you know, whatever

00:24:24
admittedly Muslims, I need to know your holidays.

00:24:27
I don't know them all, and you know, if you told me the names

00:24:30
that may have, may have heard of them, but tell me what they are

00:24:32
so I can wish you a happy one or a merry one or whatever you

00:24:36
prefer. Because guess what?

00:24:38
It's about individual spirituality.

00:24:41
In my opinion. Whatever makes you a better

00:24:43
person, whatever makes you happy, whatever makes you do

00:24:46
good, whatever makes you in your heart feel like this is where I

00:24:50
belong, Do it. And let's stop yelling at each

00:24:55
other. And for fuck's sake, let's stop

00:24:56
killing each other in these stupid wars.

00:24:58
Governments leaders, fucking terrorists.

00:25:03
But it got, it just got me thinking about individual

00:25:05
spirituality and I want to know why it's bad.

00:25:08
Why is me saying that bad? Because a lot of people, I need

00:25:11
to be careful now because according to some of my Muslim

00:25:14
friends, there's some extremists that would not like to hear

00:25:16
that. There's some Christians that

00:25:19
would not like to hear this Jews, same thing.

00:25:22
The Hindus and, and, and some of these people, they're probably

00:25:25
the peaceful, the Buddha and all that shit.

00:25:28
From what I know about that, they're, they're peaceful and

00:25:30
they'll be like, oh, you might, you're probably right.

00:25:32
I think I might, I may have checked more into that and just

00:25:35
kind of hang with those guys. They always seem like just

00:25:37
chilling. They're not fighting anybody.

00:25:39
They're just chilling in their robes and like relaxing.

00:25:43
That's what I want. My religion.

00:25:44
Who cares if you're worshipping some weird fucking statue or

00:25:47
cow? I'm all for it.

00:25:49
Let's roll joke people, calm down.

00:25:52
Unless you're Hindu and I'm with you.

00:25:54
But what really bothers me about this and that that that ties on

00:25:59
to what I was just saying is that people, just because you

00:26:01
say it doesn't mean it's the only way, doesn't mean it's the

00:26:04
way. You don't know anybody.

00:26:07
Nobody can offer me proof. The Bible says this and there's

00:26:11
been archaeological bullshit. There's enough in there that

00:26:14
hasn't been. You're going by blind faith.

00:26:16
In fact, that's something that you tell people.

00:26:19
All these religions. There has to be blind faith.

00:26:21
There has to be or it does not check out and there's nothing

00:26:25
wrong with that. That's a great blind faith.

00:26:28
If you feel it and you go all the best, but don't nitpick.

00:26:33
Let's quit nitpicking. Don't tell me I'm going to go to

00:26:37
hell or don't tell me that I'm an infidel or don't tell me that

00:26:41
you know all anything you can tell me because I'm with you.

00:26:45
I believe in God. I don't know all the other

00:26:47
details and there's nothing wrong with that.

00:26:50
Being open, wanting to learn, wanting to open all the books

00:26:56
and read them all. I learned that the first five

00:26:59
books are used in all three of the Abrahamic Abrahamic

00:27:03
religions. Did all of you know that

00:27:05
Probably maybe I'm late to the party, but all I know is that

00:27:09
that to me tells me that we shouldn't be fighting.

00:27:11
We should be like, let's have a discussion on on how you feel.

00:27:15
I'd love to hear it. And I hope that I get to get to

00:27:18
have that soon. But what I'm going to do now is

00:27:20
I'm going to play you if I can find it.

00:27:23
I'm, I haven't been great at this.

00:27:24
I'm going to play right here a clip.

00:27:27
This is from one of my favorite comedians of all time and, and

00:27:31
probably 1 of yours if you're, I'm not going to put an age on

00:27:35
this, but he was from the, you know, he, he passed away and he

00:27:40
had a long career. And this is a man named George

00:27:42
Carlin. And he is fantastic.

00:27:45
And, and I saw this clip and this is when he was older,

00:27:48
probably maybe five years before he passed, and it made too much

00:27:53
sense. And I don't agree with all of it

00:27:54
because George was more of an atheist.

00:27:57
He was more of a, you know, the religious stories and all that

00:28:01
are bullshit and they've got you believing in it.

00:28:03
He, he did have a lot of that in him and that's fine.

00:28:05
But he was comedian, he was an entertainer.

00:28:08
And I took bits and pieces. But there is a part here that

00:28:11
I'm going to play for you that we're going to listen to that

00:28:14
fits exactly what what I'm saying about being open, wanting

00:28:18
to to learn more individual spirituality and check this out.

00:28:22
It's really funny. Here we go.

00:28:25
I think they'll put it somewhere you choose, boys, put it

00:28:31
wherever you like on the screen. Here's George.

00:28:36
Think about it, Religion has actually convinced people that

00:28:40
there's an Invisible Man living in the sky who watches

00:28:44
everything you do every minute of every day.

00:28:47
And the Invisible Man has a special list of 10 things he

00:28:49
does not want you to do. And if you do any of these 10

00:28:53
things, he has a special place full of fire and smoke and

00:28:56
burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live

00:28:59
and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and

00:29:02
ever till the end of time. But he loves.

00:29:05
You, I thought that that is the best and he goes on a little bit

00:29:13
and and of course he's big time anti government and all that.

00:29:17
But but he thinks everybody's conspiracy against, against you.

00:29:20
But that is exactly what I'm talking about is this idea that

00:29:25
if I don't believe the way that you do, then you're going to go

00:29:29
here and you're going to burn and you're going to do this.

00:29:31
But but, but he loves you and he whatever.

00:29:33
So my, my thought is that God isn't mean.

00:29:36
I hope not. That would suck.

00:29:38
I don't believe in this idea of fearing God.

00:29:42
There are people that say I'm a I'm a God fearing man.

00:29:45
Why do you why would God want you to fear him versus use other

00:29:49
word like respect or love or I don't know, but fear?

00:29:54
Do you think God wants us to fear him?

00:29:56
I don't know. And then these are one of the

00:29:58
things one of the topics I like to to talk about.

00:30:01
But if he's all knowing he's all infallible, he's all infallible,

00:30:05
he's infallible, then he should understand.

00:30:08
If there's somebody like myself who, who doesn't, I don't not

00:30:11
believe. I'm not atheist.

00:30:13
I'm not sitting here saying that's stupid, there's no God.

00:30:16
Then God should go, Hey, look, I I actually like this, this human

00:30:22
that I made and created and whatever wants to know more.

00:30:26
That's how everybody should be. Let's learn.

00:30:29
Let's be good to each other. Let's listen to each other.

00:30:34
I don't know, you know, tell me I'm full of shit when it comes

00:30:37
to religion all you want, but I don't think so.

00:30:39
I think it's a personal choice in that the more we talk about

00:30:44
it and listen to each other and learn from each other, maybe the

00:30:48
less will kill each other over it, you know, whatever.

00:30:50
Anyway, sorry, I didn't look at my nose.

00:30:52
I just don't like the way it's politicized.

00:30:54
Also, I, I feel like if you're religious, you're supposed to be

00:30:58
on the right. If you're not, you're on the

00:30:59
left. If you, you know, if you're

00:31:01
Muslim, you're on the left. Like it's like it's, it's, it's

00:31:04
all of a sudden this the, your religion dictates where you fall

00:31:08
politically and that's stupid. Remember that our brains are

00:31:12
only capable of so much, and I just don't think anybody,

00:31:15
anybody can claim that they understand it and that they get

00:31:18
it and they can tell you straight up what it's all about

00:31:22
and that you're right or wrong. So let's move on.

00:31:25
All right, let's get to let me see what we're doing on time

00:31:29
here. Jesus.

00:31:31
OK, let's get to it. I'll try and make it quick,

00:31:35
Elon, for those of you that don't know Elon Musk, who has

00:31:45
been a Trump guy, who's been his biggest donor, who's probably a,

00:31:50
a big reason that Trump won, maybe not the biggest, but he

00:31:55
definitely didn't hurt. His relationship with Joe Rogan

00:32:00
didn't hurt. Joe's endorsement didn't hurt.

00:32:03
And then Vivek Ramaswamy. And, and so Trump has appointed

00:32:06
these guys and I, and I'll get to that, that he's putting them

00:32:09
on his staff. They've come together.

00:32:11
Vivek is, is conservative Indian American born here, but

00:32:18
definitely from Indian descent. And Elon was a former Democrat

00:32:23
from South Africa. OK, simple background.

00:32:28
And I want this to be an example of having a discussion about the

00:32:32
Gray areas of a topic and not this, you're on this side or

00:32:39
this side. So fuck you.

00:32:40
And that seems to be what I'm getting with this topic, which

00:32:46
and it guess where it's coming from the right.

00:32:50
I always talk about the left doing this and that how I can

00:32:54
never align with those guys. I'm a registered independent.

00:32:56
I voted for Donald Trump. And now the right is, is getting

00:32:59
crazy. Go on Twitter, Elon's platform,

00:33:02
go. It's fucking crazy right now

00:33:06
and, and I wouldn't be surprised if it hit you normal people who

00:33:09
just went on Twitter for sports or something like that and all

00:33:11
of a sudden you're looking and going, what's going on?

00:33:13
But I digress. Here we go.

00:33:15
H1B visas. I think that's how you say H1B

00:33:21
visas are the topic. What that does is it allows US

00:33:26
employees, employers, I'm sorry, to hire employees from another

00:33:33
country for specialties, specialty occupations.

00:33:40
It's the largest visa category and you have to have a

00:33:44
bachelor's degree or higher. Seven of ten of these are from

00:33:48
India of all the countries in the world, and it's for a Max of

00:33:55
six years. Elon and Vivek, let me tell you

00:33:57
what happened. So their title that Trump gave

00:34:01
them is the the, the head of the Department of Government

00:34:04
efficiency, whatever the hell that is.

00:34:07
At the time, I was like, oh, that's cool.

00:34:09
You know, I like, I like the idea of having Elon and Vivek on

00:34:12
board. They haven't up until whatever

00:34:17
stirred the pot. They're definitely doing it now.

00:34:20
And the claim from them is that H1 BS are are essential because

00:34:27
our US culture, and this is the part that gets everybody wound

00:34:31
up, the US culture doesn't prioritize success in science

00:34:36
and engineering. And essentially Vivek literally

00:34:40
said this quote. American culture has venerated

00:34:44
mediocrity. There's some more, but I trust I

00:34:48
didn't change the context. I promise.

00:34:50
So his claim is that we value the prom queen over the math

00:34:54
Olympiad, the jock over the valedictorian, etcetera,

00:34:59
etcetera. Before I move on to what Elon

00:35:01
said, I, I, you, Vivek, just because you might have been that

00:35:05
guy, that math dork, doesn't mean that you need to like lash

00:35:09
out at everybody else because you need a little of everything.

00:35:14
There's nothing wrong with being prong prom king, prom queen.

00:35:17
There's nothing wrong with being an an athlete jock.

00:35:19
I mean, look how much these fuckers get paid.

00:35:22
People are entertained by people like it.

00:35:24
It's not easy. I'm talking as if I'm one of

00:35:27
those. I'm not a professional athlete,

00:35:29
but give me a break. I mean, that's, that's a very

00:35:31
vague blanket statement. And it's, that's, that's

00:35:34
dangerous. It's a little bit of, I don't

00:35:36
like the way you put that because guess what?

00:35:40
Americans like myself don't like being told that we are OK with

00:35:45
mediocrity. There are a lot of reasons that

00:35:48
our education system is mediocre, which by the way, was

00:35:52
it's fallen to what, 18th, 20th or something like that.

00:35:56
Correct me if I'm wrong, people write me, but it's not

00:36:00
substandard per SE. So to say that it was a little

00:36:04
surprising to me. I don't know if he feels

00:36:06
comfortable now that Trump won that he can say whatever he

00:36:08
wants. But Elon, Elon said there's a

00:36:11
shortage of extremely talented and motivated engineers.

00:36:15
Let me clarify, he said. I'm referring to bringing in,

00:36:23
via legal immigration, the top .1% of engineering talent for

00:36:31
America to be the best, essentially.

00:36:33
So that might not sound like a lot and it's not in the big

00:36:37
scheme. And I'm OK with point 1%, I

00:36:39
think. But is it really point 1%?

00:36:43
And that's what people are talking about right now.

00:36:46
Trump said a month ago And I, and that's my biggest thing, is

00:36:49
that who gives a shit what what Vivek and Elon are saying?

00:36:53
What is Donald saying? I have a feeling he can nip this

00:36:56
in the butt if he needs to. Problem is, is that on a

00:36:59
podcast? I, I forget which one, I'm not

00:37:02
going to plug you. Apparently you're doing well

00:37:04
enough if you talking to Donald. Donald, if you want to come on

00:37:08
ours, I would love it. But apparently he said that once

00:37:13
illegal immigration was kind of handled, he wasn't opposed to

00:37:18
bringing in the H1B visas and, and, and to help out in that

00:37:23
regard. And I, I'm pretty sure that was

00:37:24
probably advised by Elon and Vivek.

00:37:29
This is the problem right here. This is what people are upset

00:37:32
about. 65 visas of this type per year Max an additional

00:37:39
20 if you have masters or higher.

00:37:44
What are your thoughts initially when you hear that a year These

00:37:49
people can come in mostly from 70% from India right off the

00:37:53
bat. The others are China, Taiwan,

00:37:55
some other countries in that region for the for the most

00:37:58
part. Other than that, it's very, very

00:38:01
minimal. I feel like, and I thought long

00:38:04
and hard about this because this is divided people who voted for

00:38:08
Donald Trump. I think that 90% of the people

00:38:11
that voted have made the decision and are like, fuck you,

00:38:14
Elon and and Vivek and are saying, hey, immediately, Are

00:38:18
you kidding me? Donald Trump has ran on a

00:38:22
platform of bringing jobs back, of not letting jobs out of this

00:38:26
country. And all of a sudden you're,

00:38:27
you're, you're telling me you're going to bring in 65.

00:38:31
And it's not just for top jobs. We don't have 65 top notch

00:38:37
engineering tech jobs in this country.

00:38:42
Apparently the list of jobs is available for anybody to see for

00:38:47
these visas and some of them are are are even janitorial work

00:38:53
within some of these tech facilities making the same

00:38:57
amount as an American would. Some of them are a little bit

00:39:02
higher up maybe What do you call it the desk work and and all of

00:39:06
that filing assistant work phones the same amount an

00:39:12
American would make. And if you mean to tell me that

00:39:15
we can't do those all of those jobs and inspire and motivate

00:39:20
somebody to do that higher than a mediocre level, I would

00:39:25
disagree with you. Everybody knows that I voted for

00:39:31
Donald and that I was very proud of Elon and Joe Rogan and all

00:39:35
these guys. Vivek is a smart guy.

00:39:38
I think he's a cheese ball at times, but he's very smart.

00:39:42
Maybe he was the math Olympiad or whatever, but he's he's a

00:39:46
dorky guy, but he's smart and and probably really, really nice

00:39:50
and fun to to hang out with, but he'll probably tell you straight

00:39:53
to your face. He's a dork.

00:39:55
But I like him and, you know, he jumped on the Trump train as

00:39:59
soon as he realized that he had no shot at being president.

00:40:02
He immediately was one of the only people that said, I'm, I'm

00:40:05
back in Trump. Other people that were running

00:40:09
for a Republican candidate still were bashing Trump.

00:40:14
And you don't hear from those people, oddly enough.

00:40:19
So I just I I don't understand why you need 65 a year.

00:40:26
And that's my question to everybody.

00:40:31
To Elon's credit, he did say that the H1B system needs to be

00:40:36
overhauled. Good for you, Elon.

00:40:40
There you go. Because that makes more sense.

00:40:42
If you're saying we want to bring in my point with the H1B

00:40:47
is that if you want to supplement this country and its

00:40:52
great minds, which we have regardless of whether Vivek

00:40:56
Ramaswami thinks that we overall embrace mediocrity, which I

00:41:01
don't agree with, not overall, we need to maybe boost up, boost

00:41:07
up in general. But there are people here with

00:41:11
brilliance, brilliant minds. And so to supplement that with

00:41:19
a, with people, a certain number of people, great.

00:41:24
That's what this country is about.

00:41:25
I don't have a problem. No one has a problem with legal

00:41:27
immigration. But if you're going to move

00:41:30
65 Indian tech engineers to the front of the line so that

00:41:35
they can take the, the jobs of the ones here or most of them or

00:41:41
however it works out and continue to do that yearly, I

00:41:44
think that's where people have an issue.

00:41:47
So if you're able to, as Elon said, to adjust this a bit and

00:41:54
to overhaul it and to say, hey, look, yeah, we definitely don't

00:41:58
want to close be closed off to having people here that can make

00:42:01
this better. Great.

00:42:04
But but those amounts are extreme in my opinion.

00:42:06
And and I'm going to, I'm going to go ahead and and state my

00:42:09
case that that's that's too high every year to have that.

00:42:14
I mean, I mean, you're, you're literally it's an influx and

00:42:17
it's not about race. People, of course, are making

00:42:21
about race. And and you know what, all you

00:42:24
on the left suck it. You know, everybody.

00:42:26
Oh, this is so much fun to watch.

00:42:28
The, the Trump voters are tearing each other apart.

00:42:31
No, it's called trying to debate and figure out an issue like

00:42:34
adults. I admit there's some tearing

00:42:37
each other apart, but there's nothing like what they do on the

00:42:40
on the left. So shut up.

00:42:42
That the what? You're not helping.

00:42:45
I've never seen a group of people cheer for the country to

00:42:47
fail like I do. The modern liberal, it's crazy.

00:42:50
They lost the election. And now it's like, you know,

00:42:53
deep down they're like, oh, I'll deal with four years of complete

00:42:56
and utter failure in this country just to say I told you

00:42:59
so. And that's absurd.

00:43:04
So the main issue is that Trump has campaigned on bringing jobs

00:43:09
back to the country. If he does this, that goes

00:43:14
against what he's been campaigning, in my opinion.

00:43:17
Again, some of them bring over some great minds, bring over

00:43:21
some people that would would add, contribute to society,

00:43:25
contribute to our country. But this seems extreme.

00:43:30
And I'll say it again, both Elon and Vivek, upon receiving this

00:43:36
backlash, have now compared it to sports.

00:43:40
And so that's what I'll do here for you if you're kind of trying

00:43:44
to figure out what the Hell's going on.

00:43:46
What they're saying is that, hey, in basketball, they use the

00:43:50
NBA as an example. I'm not a big NBA guy.

00:43:54
Those guys are a bunch of prima donnas if you ask me, compared

00:43:57
to hockey and football, even football.

00:44:00
But college basketball is a whole different.

00:44:04
This is not a sports podcast as much as my Co host, old Co host

00:44:08
Trey and I wanted it to be at one point, but he compared it to

00:44:12
sports team and he said, hey, you know, Wimby Yama for the

00:44:16
NBA. If anybody doesn't know, he

00:44:17
plays for the San Antonio Spurs from a foreign country.

00:44:21
Luka Dokovic. I can't ever say his name.

00:44:24
So Yokovic or Djokovic, whatever his name is from different

00:44:28
country. These people, the, the NBA are

00:44:32
drafting a lot of people from foreign countries to make their

00:44:37
team better. And so that's what they're kind

00:44:40
of comparing it to. Hey, look, if we need a point

00:44:42
guard in technical engineering over here and we don't have one

00:44:47
that we think is as good as this guy over here in India, why not

00:44:51
bring him over? And I'm, I'm all for that to a

00:44:54
point. There's a line.

00:44:56
And I think, I think there's a Gray area to this, which is what

00:44:59
I'm talking about. Bring over some why, why not

00:45:03
make the best, But don't sit here and tell us that 65

00:45:10
Indian visas need to be handed out because we can't handle that

00:45:16
in the United States because of a mediocre mindset, because of

00:45:22
striving for mediocrity. According to Vivek, that was an

00:45:25
inappropriate thing to say, even with the context that he meant

00:45:30
it in. I I don't think there's a way

00:45:31
out of that. I think the only way out of that

00:45:33
is to say, you know what? All right, these are my

00:45:38
opinions. Let's see what we can do to help

00:45:40
fix that here before jumping across.

00:45:44
So I was torched, torched for saying this, that there's a Gray

00:45:53
area. And this is from all the people

00:45:56
that are like minded to me when it comes to American politics.

00:45:59
We're all people that voted for Trump.

00:46:01
And I'm getting all these beside, like I said, besides the

00:46:04
lefties that are going on here to be trolls, all the

00:46:08
Republicans are like, oh, you know, you're, you know, giving

00:46:11
me memes of people doing the, the blowjob motion for Elon

00:46:16
because I, I made a, a positive comment in response to his tweet

00:46:21
or his post. Heaven forbid I'd be positive

00:46:24
and say, Hey, look, you know, you know more than me.

00:46:27
You have done more than me. You're Elon and you helped

00:46:32
Donald get elected. I'm willing to listen to you.

00:46:35
And I got God, I got torched and it made me think it's not just

00:46:39
the left. So righties, let's be better.

00:46:44
And I, and I don't even view myself as a righty, a righty.

00:46:47
I'm, I'm an independent that leans right because the left has

00:46:51
gone insane. And I've said that before.

00:46:54
So don't act surprised. But come on, let's talk show the

00:47:00
left that we're better. Show the left that that this is

00:47:02
an issue that that's come up and that we're going to figure it

00:47:07
out. But you got to hang in the Gray

00:47:09
areas. I'm not just plug in the show,

00:47:11
ladies and gentlemen, but you do the last thing that I want to

00:47:15
talk about and then I'll wrap it up.

00:47:17
My boys are going to be upset because I cannot keep a show

00:47:20
close to 30 to 40 minutes. It always goes a little over,

00:47:23
but it's because it's great content and I hope you're

00:47:26
enjoying it. Lastly, very fast.

00:47:30
Elon has always spoken out about free speech and it's why I want

00:47:37
to want to spend some time on XI, want to support that because

00:47:41
I believe in it too. Free speech, let's do it.

00:47:45
You can say whatever, whatever the fuck you want on on X,

00:47:50
there's none. And that's whatever.

00:47:51
All of a sudden he comes out and says, by the way, the algorithms

00:47:56
will be affected by how many people block you.

00:48:02
OK, Elon, you're one of the smartest minds of our world.

00:48:08
People are going to use that block button like it's just just

00:48:12
all day long. I don't agree.

00:48:14
I don't agree. I'm going to block, block, block

00:48:16
and try and silence everybody. This is not a good thing that

00:48:20
you're that you're proposing for these algorithms.

00:48:23
I wouldn't say up and coming anymore, but I'd say a podcast

00:48:25
trying to grow, trying to reach people.

00:48:27
And you're telling me if someone disagrees with something, I say

00:48:30
they can hit block and it's going to affect my reach.

00:48:33
That's against what you said. That's against what you wanted.

00:48:36
What's the fuck is going on? And this is coming from you.

00:48:41
This isn't like people are are reading some false publication

00:48:45
from the liberal rags. This is from you.

00:48:48
And I just ask you to rethink this.

00:48:50
How, how am I supposed to grow? How's anybody supposed to grow?

00:48:54
How are we supposed to get reach?

00:48:55
I support you. I support Donald.

00:48:58
And you're sitting here telling me that if all these liberals

00:49:00
are blocking me, blocking me, blocking me, that it's going to

00:49:02
affect my reach. You say it will balance out with

00:49:05
positives and reposts and likes and comments.

00:49:10
But how are how am I going to get that if the algorithms don't

00:49:14
give me reach? So I just wanted to mention

00:49:18
everybody that you need to. And, and by the way, apparently

00:49:20
you're not supposed to use hashtags anymore either,

00:49:22
according to Mr. Musk. So he's going off.

00:49:25
He's got a lot to say now. Donald Trump won an election and

00:49:29
Elon's just rolling out with all this different stuff and it's

00:49:33
kind of hitting everybody at once and everybody's kind of the

00:49:37
wind knocked out of them. And, and I went on the other

00:49:40
night and I hadn't been on in in one day and I was like, what is

00:49:43
going on? So take a look at all of it.

00:49:46
It's kind of crazy, you know, and that pretty much ends the

00:49:48
show. It's kind of like like and

00:49:51
follow help word of mouth. Who knows what the algorithms

00:49:54
are going to do And, and X is one of the platforms that I'm

00:49:58
trying to build and get people to shoot over to YouTube or get

00:50:02
people to shoot over to Spotify where the where the the show,

00:50:05
the shows are based. But man, if Elon's going to take

00:50:09
away reach because people disagree with me, I'm fucked.

00:50:13
So anybody that is enjoying this or that is like minded to me in

00:50:17
any way, or even if you or some some yes, some no, but maybe you

00:50:22
like my smile or you don't give me a like, give me a give a

00:50:29
follow, subscribe, tell people check this guy out or at least

00:50:34
check out his clips, check it out, give some likes and and go

00:50:38
from there. I just I'm way over on my time

00:50:42
or or else I'd probably go off more.

00:50:44
But my goodness, with Elon and this whole thing now the right

00:50:48
wing is and you're, you're kind of going, was this the plan of

00:50:52
somebody like maybe deep down they backed Trump to get to the,

00:50:57
there's so much you could take out of this.

00:50:58
The bottom line is, I think that Ilana Vivek had some sort of

00:51:03
idea about this, these, these visas and, and, and they're

00:51:09
going to roll with it. And they believe only in

00:51:13
innovation and being the best. Is it worth it?

00:51:17
That's what I'll leave you with. Is it worth it to be the best to

00:51:22
sacrifice some natural born American citizens jobs?

00:51:28
And I'll leave that with you. And we'll go from there.

00:51:32
Let me give you the End Quote of the night and we'll wrap it up.

00:51:36
This is it. Work until your idols become

00:51:39
your rivals. I'm coming for you, Joe Rogan.

00:51:44
You're my idol now. But hopefully will be arrival

00:51:48
one day, a friendly arrival. I'd love to smoke a cigar with

00:51:51
you one day on the note. Love you guys.

00:51:54
Hope you have a great safe New Year's Eve tonight.

00:51:57
I said tonight because I know it'll be released on New Year's

00:52:00
Eve and let's start the new year off great and start listening to

00:52:03
each other, having a conversation and go from there.

00:52:07
And I look forward to having lots of guests coming up and

00:52:10
embracing the new format of the show and can't do it without you

00:52:14
guys. So love you, see you next year,

00:52:19
bye.
