Gosh, it's man, you have no 4 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: idea how wild the party's going to be tonight for 5 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 1: my birthday. Let me just say, things get pretty crazy. 6 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: You know what I'm gonna do. Woke up this morning, 7 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: the family got me a homemade pizza oven. Now, now 8 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: I need to clarify. It's not one of those fancy 9 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 1: ones that like goes in the wall and built in 10 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. It sits right on the countertop. 11 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: It runs on wood pellets, and I have a one 12 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: of those pellets smokers, so I already had the wood pellets. Essentially, 13 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: it just has a little thingy in the back. I 14 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: don't know all the words for it, and you put 15 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: the pellet in there and it just sits right on 16 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: the counter and you slide pizzas in this thing. Apparently 17 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: it gets up to something like nine hundred degrees. It 18 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: cooks your pizza in one minute or something like that. 19 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,199 Speaker 1: And that's what all the fancy ones do. I'm gonna 20 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: go home tonight for my birthday, little glass subourbon pizza 21 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: my own homemade pizza. Then I'm gonna make the whole 22 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: family watch a documentary with me tonight. I've just been debating. 23 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: I've been debating all day because they have to do 24 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: whatever I want. I've been debating all day. What do 25 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: I want to make them watch a documentary on? I mean, 26 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: I can torment them World War One? You think, Chris, 27 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: I thought about World One because I'm such a World 28 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: War One freak. It'd be so boring for them. Yeah, 29 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna be World War One. You just solved it. 30 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: You just solved it. It's gonna be World War one. Gosh, 31 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun. All Right, We're gonna do a 32 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: big email round up at some point in time here 33 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: at this hour, I did want to talk about this 34 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: real briefly here b of A. That's Bank of America 35 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: Warren's bull and bear indicator in the max bearish zone. Okay, 36 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: though that doesn't that doesn't sound good at all. So 37 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: I'm just going to read you this. Investors say they 38 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: expected the Federal Reserve to hike interestrates by a further 39 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty base points. By the way, let 40 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: me pose here for a second. Don't worry if you're 41 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: not some stockbroker and you don't understand what a lot 42 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 1: of this stuff means. I don't understand what a this 43 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: stuff means. I just pretend. All right, that's all all 44 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: you have to do. You don't have to know anything 45 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: in this life. You have to make people think you 46 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: know stuff, and you have to steal other people's work. 47 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: If you can do those two things, there's no limit 48 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: to what you can accomplish. What Chris, that's right, that's right. 49 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: You look, if you can do both of those things, 50 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: pretend to know what you're talking about and steal other 51 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: people's work, can become a journalist. It's journalist. Jesse. There's 52 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: just no one better. We love Jesse. He's the best. Jesse. 53 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: Please kiss my baby, Jesse. Jesse, Jesse, Jesse, Jesse. All right, 54 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: So don't worry. If some of these words are foreign 55 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: to you, I just think it's important to read them. 56 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: While many believed inflation was set to fall, b of 57 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: A noted that the mood is still stagflationary. Inflation hit 58 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: a four decade high in June. The FED has raised 59 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: its core interest rate in a bid to bring inflation 60 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: under control, carrying out its biggest rate hikes since nineteen 61 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: ninety four. Last month, allocation of assets to equities hit 62 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: the lowest level since October of two thousand and eight. 63 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to read that again because that's really the 64 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: most important thing you can take from this. Allocation of 65 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: assets to equities hit the lowest level since October two 66 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: thousand and eight. What else happened around two thousand and eight? 67 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I am forty one, and I'm probably going 68 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: to start forgetting things here any minute, But I do, boy, 69 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: if memory serves, I do believe we had what they 70 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: still call the Great Recession in two thousand and eight. 71 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: I've been telling you for a while. For a while now, 72 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: I've been telling you about things right. I've been telling 73 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: you to buy food, to make sure you have a 74 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: way to get clean water, to make sure you can 75 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: you have AMMO and you could hit what you aim at. 76 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: I've been telling you to take care of your physical health. 77 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: Why I believe we are heading into a great depression? 78 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: I do, and if not a great depression, if we 79 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: don't want to go that big, at least a recession. 80 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: And I need to explain why I feel that way. 81 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: It's actually not it's not just what we've done, all right, 82 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: the the COVID lockdown stuff, that's what got us here. 83 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: Thinking you should stop your economy for a virus, that's 84 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: what got us here. Okay, but let's set that aside. 85 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: That's what got us here. We are where we are. 86 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: We can't undo that now. There's nothing new where I 87 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: can do to undo that now. But we now have 88 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: the psychopathic communists in charge, and they're attacking every single 89 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: thing we need at the worst possible time. There's never 90 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: a great time to have Joe Biden become your president, 91 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: all right, It's not like there's a time. Hey, you 92 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: know what we're doing, so well, let's get a dementia 93 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: riddled old fool into the White House. That doesn't work. 94 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: But we have an office full, a presidential office full 95 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: of communists now at the worst possible time. They're attacking 96 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: every single thing we need to pull us out of 97 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: this mess. I mean, they're going all in with the 98 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: climate change insanity. At a time when the energy sector 99 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: alone might drag us down into a great depress. They 100 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: are still flooding our southern border with people. So at 101 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: a time when the American economy is already cracking. Let's 102 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: be nice cracking. They're flooding the country with poor illegal 103 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: immigrants from the Third World. Every single thing you can 104 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: do to break us, they're doing. That's why I think 105 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: we're going to have a great depression. That's what I believe. 106 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that to bring you down. And we're 107 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna answer a bunch of emails and we're 108 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,119 Speaker 1: gonna have fun. I'm not saying it to bring you down. 109 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, these people aren't trying to 110 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: fix it. They're trying to make it work. So it's 111 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: about making a choice between what is the short term 112 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: in the medium term so that we can make sure 113 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: we have enough oil and gas to support us through 114 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: the transition, and what are the kind of steps that 115 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: we don't want the oil and gas industry to take 116 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: that would have long term consequences when we don't want 117 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: new major projects that would take twenty thirty years to 118 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: become profitable. So we have to make that differentiation to 119 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: make sure that the American consumer has what it needs 120 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: to grow to grow our economy and the global economy, 121 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: but not take steps and endanger the climate. Work that 122 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: we're trying to do to make sure that we're in 123 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: a better footing, to accelerate the transition. Accelerate the transition. 124 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: Did he say, oh, man, these prices are too high. 125 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: People were being broken. We need to slow things down. 126 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: They're not slowing anything down. They're turning the volume up 127 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:46,239 Speaker 1: on everything. I really to believe we're heading into something bad, 128 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: really really really bad. I hope I'm wrong. Look of 129 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: all the predictions I've made, this is the one I 130 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: really hope i'm wrong about, severely wrong about. You never know. 131 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: Let's get to some emails. Hello, they're God of Thunder. 132 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: I like that one. Chris, What Chris? I think that's appropriate. 133 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: I'm a huge condiment fan, wholeheartedly agree with your proportion 134 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: comments and really liked your idea of dipping your sandwich 135 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: in the condiments. My question for you is this, what's 136 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: your favorite condiment combination? And I need to rehash this 137 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: for those who maybe missed it. There's nothing you can do. 138 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: When you're out at a restaurant or getting a fast 139 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: food burger or something like that. The condiments are going 140 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: to go on the sandwich. That's just life. But if 141 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: you're home, if you're in a safe calm environment. You 142 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: shouldn't be putting condiments on your sandwich. You should dip 143 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: your sandwich in the various condiments. Why the proportions. It 144 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: gives you the exact proportion you want with every bite. 145 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: Don't shake your head, gentlemen. If it's I'm not wrong. 146 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: If I have an egg sandwich, I had one this morning. 147 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: If I have an egg sandwich, nothing fancy, nothing sexy. 148 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: It's been a staple in the Kelly household since I 149 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: was a kid. Just a fried egg, two pieces of bread, 150 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: and mayonnaise. Of course, why would I spread the mayonnaise 151 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: on my sandwich and then risk having this bite, Oh man, 152 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: I got a big blob of mayonnaise. It's running out 153 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: of my mouth. Oh my gosh, that's embarrassing. And then 154 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: have a bite of this part of the sandwich where 155 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: there's hardly any mayonnaise and it's kind of dry. Oh man, 156 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: I wish I wish the tang had been there. I 157 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: could just put a blob of Manaichs on my plate, 158 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: and then each and every bite I will have the 159 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: exact amount of mayonnaise I want to have on my sandwich. 160 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: It's not wrong, It's not wrong. What it is. It's standards. 161 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: Just because Chris and Michael are pathetic children with no 162 00:09:54,800 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: standards doesn't mean you have to be all right. Yeah, 163 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: I know you spread it around. That's because you're stupid. 164 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: What Michael are?

We need someone on here, all right? 191 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: The guy asked, we're doing an a little email roundup 192 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: now because I already put everyone in a bad mood 193 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: with my great depression talk.

Love the show says, 197 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: I can use his name one Buffalo Ranch, one of 198 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: the more underrated things out there, and I'll tell you 199 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: don't shake your head, Chris, and I'll tell you something. 200 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: Dip your pizza in Buffalo Ranch.

You will enjoy it. That's one. Two. 203 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: I'm really going to catch a lot of heat for this, 204 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: but I believe it all the way. It's something I've 205 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: really started to enjoy lately. Now. You know, if you're 206 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: making a world famous Jesse Kelly burger at home, you 207 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: do not put any condiments on it. My burger don't 208 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: need any condiments. But most burgers, well, let's be honest, 209 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: all burgers are inferior to my burger, and therefore they 210 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: need condiments. Mustard and mayonnaise combined on a burger is legit. 211 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: Mustard and mayo. I've really been enjoying mustard in mayo. 212 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: There's something about it. I don't know what it is. 213 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: It's delicious. Hi, Jesse, I enjoy the show. Since you 214 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: are six foot eight and we're a marine, how did 215 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: you get into the Marines when the height limit is 216 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 1: seventy eight inches? Did you grow after enlistment? Well? One, 217 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: remember recruiters, military Recruiters have a very difficult job. You 218 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: have to talk oftentimes the parents into sending their child 219 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: off to potentially war and maybe dies. That's not an 220 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: easy thing. So recruiters have it difficult enough. They definitely 221 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: have a difficult right now when rural America isn't sending 222 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: their sons anymore. They're just they're not. They don't want 223 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: their kids to go die. But let's set that aside. 224 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: Recruiters always have a difficult time in the Marines, at 225 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: least filling up the tree spots because a lot of 226 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: people want to be you know where I want to 227 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: be a marine. Oh good good, But they don't. You 228 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: don't want to necessarily live the life of an infantry guy. 229 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: And I'll be frank having lived that life, it sucks. 230 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: It's very healthy. I'm glad I did it. But your life. 231 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: Every day you wake up in your job intentionally, it 232 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: is difficult. You are going to be physically challenged. You 233 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: are going to have to do things that make you 234 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: freezing cold or burning hot sweat. You are going to 235 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: wake up one day and you're going to have a 236 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: pool time. Nope, You're not going down looking at pretty 237 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: girls and laying by the pool. You're going to go 238 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: out in the middle of the deep end of the 239 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: pool with a brick over your head and you're going 240 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: to tread water until you're almost dead. You're going to 241 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: have times when everyone else is off, they're going down 242 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: to the mechanic shop or they're they're an admin. They're 243 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: gonna go do paperwork. You and your buddies because you're 244 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: in the infantry. You have on sixty to seventy pounds 245 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: of gear and you're gonna hump ten miles out into 246 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: the wilderness where you will sleep on the ground with 247 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: the scorpions crawling into your bed with you for five 248 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: days and do live fire drills and things like that. Look, now, 249 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: I'm not downplaying it in my mind then and now. 250 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the Marines marine, right, That's what a 251 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: marine does. But that's not exactly something people clamor for. 252 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: When I walked into the Marine Corps recruiting office, I 253 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: didn't go to any other recruiting office. I knew I 254 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: wanted to be a Marine. I walked in and at 255 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: first I had to take an as vab. It's a 256 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: it's a test. I think they still do it, but 257 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: I had to take a It's basically they want to 258 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: see what you know, how smart you are. I must 259 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: have cheated or something like that, because I just scored 260 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: off the charts on the as VAB. I just murdered it. 261 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: I got to the point. I got to a point 262 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: on the ASVAB where I could basically do anything I 263 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: wanted to do. I could have joined, I could have 264 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: joined the Marines and gone into any field I wanted 265 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: to join. Recruiter himself hands me a binder. I'll never 266 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: forget the moment. He has this huge binder and he 267 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: hands me this binder and says, hey, man, score like that. 268 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: You do whatever you want. I said, I don't need 269 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: a binder. I'm gonna be in the infantry. Chris says, 270 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: Why I wanted. I wanted to taste the danger. Man. 271 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: I wanted to be a real marine. I wanted to 272 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: see if I was a tough guy. I wanted to 273 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: go because I wanted to be miserable. What Chris said, 274 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: How how dad take that? Ah? Not good? Certainly not good. 275 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: When they found out where my parents found out I 276 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: joined the Marines, they were um upset. And when my 277 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: dad found out I joined the infantry, upset. Really doesn't 278 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: really doesn't fully describe exactly how he took that at all. 279 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: He did not. He did not, he did not back 280 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: up that decision whatsoever. Nevertheless, I was hardheaded individual then 281 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 1: and now, and I wanted to go. I wanted to 282 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: go see what I was made of. I wanted to 283 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 1: go taste adventure and see what I was made of. Now, 284 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: i'd say that to you, to say this, how did 285 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: I get in when I was so tall? There aren't 286 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 1: a ton of young men ever who walk into the 287 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: Marine Corps recruiting office and say I'm signing up and 288 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: I want to be in the infantry. I want the 289 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: crappiest life I can possibly have. For four years, I did. 290 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 1: I was six foot five at the time. Back then, 291 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: I think it was six to four was the limit, 292 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: if I remember at six four is the limit. I 293 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: was six to five. You have to go to a 294 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 1: physical recruiting, you have to go to a you have 295 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 1: to go get a physical with their doctor and they're 296 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: gonna poke in PROUDI and test this and that and 297 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: make sure you don't have a hernia and make sure 298 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: you don't either.

But this doctor's no fool. 303 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 1: He knew I slouched a little bit. He kind of 304 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: gave me the wink wink, nudge nudge and said, I mean, 305 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: you're in the infantry. Go on. They always need infantry volunteers. Now. 306 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: Once I joined, Remember I was nineteen when I joined. 307 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 1: I promptly grew three inches the first year, three inches 308 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: the first year, just some random gross spurt at the 309 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: age of nineteen, ended up being six foot eight. They 310 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 1: don't kick you out once you're in. You can't because 311 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: you can't kick me out. I mean they'll kick you 312 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: out if you get busted for drugs or something like that. 313 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: You can't discharge me because I got too tall, so 314 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: they didn't. And that's that's how I ended up being 315 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: the tallest marine in every unit I was ever with, 316 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 1: by far taller than everyone else.

For those who have, well, 332 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: just buckle up and enjoy it again. I've told you 333 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 1: before how you do deployments when you're in the Marines, 334 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: but we're not. We're talking outside of at here peacetime deployments. 335 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 1: Our peacetime deployment we did this was before Iraq. Our 336 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: peacetime deployment was to Okinawa, Japan. You go there, there's 337 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: a Marine Corps base there. You go sit up on 338 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: the Marine Corps base. But you don't you don't just 339 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: stay in Okinawa. Yeah, you do a bunch of training 340 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: in Okinawa on the beach and in the ocean, and 341 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: we did a bunch of urban warfare stuff and things 342 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: like that there. But you also go to different parts, 343 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,719 Speaker 1: different countries really to do different kinds of training. We 344 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: went to Mount Fuji up by Tokyo up in Japan 345 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: proper and we did I told you, that's where we 346 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: set the illegal force fire and in Japanese National Force. 347 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: We went up there. Look we were freezing, okay, So 348 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: we went up there. And another part of our deployment 349 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: was something called Cobra Gold. I believe they still do 350 00:20:54,040 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 1: Cobra gold. Cobra Gold was simply this, you take boat 351 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: to Thailand. I will be honest. This was a gigantic 352 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: boat and we got caught in really a tropical storm 353 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: on the way to Thailand. And it was one of 354 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: the more disgusting experiences I've ever experienced in my life, 355 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 1: watching everyone get boat sick and begin throwing up. And 356 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: they ran out of puke bags on the ship, so 357 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,199 Speaker 1: they started sharing the puke bags. Now I should explain 358 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: where I was during this time. By the grace of God, 359 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: I do not get boat sick under any circumstances. I 360 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: don't get air sick. I don't get boats sick. I 361 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: just I don't get car sick. I don't know why. 362 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: That is, Probably because my mother is a terrible cook 363 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: and my stomach is made of iron. I don't know 364 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: why I do not get sick. There were only like 365 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: five or six of us on the entire boat. We're 366 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: talking a thousand guys who don't get sick at all. 367 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: We didn't know where to go. Everyone was vomit all 368 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: around us, and they're passing vomit bags, and it was 369 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: the worst experience in my life. So we went and 370 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 1: hit out, like in the center of the ship. They 371 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: had some chairs and a table that was nailed down 372 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: because the waves were so bad, it was tossed and 373 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: the ship to and fro. So just we just went 374 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: and sat back and enjoyed the show. Eventually they filled 375 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: up the toilets and the sink. It was just the 376 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: worst experience ever. Anyway, we get to Thailand and you 377 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: do all this different training in Thailand, and you have 378 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: some time off where you go make bad decisions, but 379 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: you have all this different training in Thailand. You do 380 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: a little muy Thai kickboxing, you do some jungle warfare stuff. 381 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: They're teaching you about jungle and jungle and jungle, and 382 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 1: then almost always at the end of any military training cycle, 383 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: they put you through some final big event where you know, 384 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: a culmination of all your skills type thing. We had 385 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 1: to go into the jungle. I think it was five 386 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: days four or five days in the jungle and you 387 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: have to hump I don't know how many miles and 388 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: you are in the thickest jungle you can imagine. It's 389 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 1: triple canopy jungle. And we walk into this thing, and honestly, 390 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: it's like it's like the movies as you walk into 391 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: the jungle. When you walk out from mcclearon walk into 392 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: the jungle, it's like somebody blocks out the sun. It's 393 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: so dark in there. And we're looking at spider webs 394 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: that are six feet in diameter with a gigantic spider 395 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: in the middle of it the size of my hand. 396 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: If you're watching on a simulcaste, you see I have 397 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: big hands. I'm six eight the size of my hand. 398 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: You have cobras in front of you, they'll just cross 399 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: the path in front of you, Centipedes that are more 400 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: than a foot long and fat with some serious stingers 401 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: on them. You are in a dangerous place. You're in 402 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: a dangerous place with dangerous animals. Oh did I mention 403 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: the leeches. You had to take tobacco that people you know, 404 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 1: people who roll their own cigarettes. I don't know if 405 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: that's something people still do, but you have to take 406 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 1: that kind of tobacco and you have to roll it 407 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: up in the bottom of your trousers, in the in 408 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: the bottom of your pants legs to try to keep 409 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: the leeches from crawling up there. But even then, the 410 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: leeches are all over the leaves and things you're going through. 411 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: So every time you stopped, you know, you stopped every 412 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: few miles, drink some water, change your socks. You and 413 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: your buddies, you want to you want to talk about 414 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: a different kind of life. You want you want that 415 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 1: infantry life. Kids. Here's what it is. You and your 416 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: buddies would have to help each other out. You would 417 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: have to drop your pants and examine yourself and your 418 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: buddy for the leeches you have acquired. I don't mean well, oh, 419 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 1: can you believe Bob got a leech? Everyone got leeches 420 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: And you had to find the leeches that had attached 421 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: themselves to you, and you had to take a lighter 422 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: and begin burning them off yourself and your friend. The 423 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: jungles and ugly place. You said, butt crack leech, Chris, 424 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: I'd never butt crack leech. I did see one from 425 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: the Yeah, I'm not gonna look, we don't need to 426 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: go into the details of it, all right. Look, Hey, 427 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: we're not gonna go into the details of it. It was. Look, 428 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: we'll call it. We'll call it a kamala leach. All right, 429 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 1: we'll call it a kamala leach. We'll leave that alone. 430 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: The ground in the jungle was not a place you 431 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: want to be, and it most definitely is not a 432 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: place you want to be at night. You don't just 433 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: go layout on the ground. So they gave us hammocks. 434 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: Now I need to be clear about something. This is 435 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: not the hammock you keep in your backyard where you 436 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: sip on a lemonade on a hot summer day and 437 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: take a nap outside. This is These are hammocks that 438 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: are more like a big pocket. You sleep inside of 439 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: them to keep some of the creators off you too, 440 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: and you have to rig up a poncho over the 441 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: top because it is going to rain on you, and 442 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: try to keep the rain off. We are in the 443 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: jungle the very first night. I get to where it's 444 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: starting to get dark, and all of a sudden, everyone 445 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: asked to find a spot, get a spot where you 446 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: can set up your hammock, and you're tying it off 447 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: the trees, and you're getting yourself situated because when it 448 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: gets dark. I can't stress this enough. It's black because 449 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 1: the sun could hardly get through. The moon's not getting 450 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: through in the stars. It is black. Can hardly see 451 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: the hand in front of your face that kind of black. 452 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: There's just no natural light. We get all settled in, 453 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: everyone's ready to go. I believe I had first watched 454 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: that night of memory serves me, or I had firewatch first. 455 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: That's what that means. Firewatch. There's always a firewatch. There's 456 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: always there's always people awake, so the enemy can't sneak in, 457 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: so nothing happens. There's always someone awake. I had firewatch first. Okay, 458 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: that's fine, no problem. I didn't have any problem with that. 459 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: Having firewatch first's outstanding. You don't want firewatch in the 460 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: middle of the night because then it breaks up your sleep. 461 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: If you have Firewatch first, yeah, you're tired, you want 462 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: to get to bed. You just have to tough out. 463 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: I mean they're usually an hour. Tough out an hour, 464 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: then you rack out again to the morning. Granted you're 465 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: in the jungle, it's missible you're covered in mosquitos and sweat. 466 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 1: It's not like you're gonna go sleep for eight hours, 467 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 1: but you're gonna have as good a night to sleep 468 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: as anybody. So I was thrilled to have first Firewatch, 469 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: right up until the point I had to get into bed. 470 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: I'm six foot eight. These hammocks they give out to 471 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:35,959 Speaker 1: the Marines are not six ft eight. In fact, I 472 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: would be shocked if these hammocks were even six feet 473 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: or even that close to six feet. I would guess 474 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: these are close to five eight five nine hammocks. And 475 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: remember I'm not laying on it. You can't lay on it. 476 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: You have to slip inside of it. It's one gigantic pocket. 477 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: So to get into my hammock, I had to first 478 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 1: take off my pants and take off my socks, and 479 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: things went really, really poorly from there. I will finish 480 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: this story in just one moment. Let's get you set 481 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: up with an emergency food supply first, before I tell 482 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: you my tales of woe. You know, my Patriot Supply 483 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: has an emergency three month food supply and for my listeners, 484 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: they're hooking them up with one hundred fifty dollars off. 485 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: And I need to be clear about this. I've told 486 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: you this before. This is two thousand calories a day 487 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: of sustainable energy. This is the end to you worrying 488 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: about do I have enough of this? Do I have 489 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: enough of that? There's nothing for you to think about anymore. 490 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: This is the largest preparedness company in the world, the 491 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: largest prep in the nation.

I am 502 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: continuing a story in case you missed it, about a 503 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: a hammock in the jungle in Thailand in the Marines. 504 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: I'm not going to recap the whole thing for you. 505 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: If you missed it, go download the podcast. But I'm 506 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: I'm in the jungle. I had first firewatch. It's now blackout, 507 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: pitch blackout. Time for me to rack out. I told 508 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: you I was taking off my pants and my socks 509 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: and things like that. That wasn't accidental. You're in the jungle, 510 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: you learn to accept you're going to be wet and 511 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: miserable at all times. It's just part of the part 512 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: of the gig. But whenever you get a chance, you 513 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: have to attempt to get some air on your skin 514 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: and your feet and your legs. Otherwise, and I've seen this, 515 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: In fact, it happened to me. Your skin will just 516 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: kind of start to rot off. It's really gross, but 517 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: I mean the jungle's gross. We're gonna do you take 518 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: off your pants in your socks at night. You get 519 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: as naked as you can get because you're trying to 520 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: get your stuff aired out. So here. I am no 521 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: pants on, no socks on. I slip into my hammock. 522 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: Now this thing is just simply way too short for me. 523 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: I can't get all the way in, and I'm trying 524 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: to turn. Remember it's a hammock, right, not a bed 525 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: too song. I'm all bowed down in this thing, and 526 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get to some sort of a play 527 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: ice where I might be able to sleep. And during 528 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,959 Speaker 1: this toss and turn little thing right when I slip in, 529 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: I push my feet down to the edge of the 530 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: hammock and boom, the bottom of my hammock blows out. 531 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: I don't mean comes untied. I don't mean got a tear. 532 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: I mean the rope that goes through it's threaded through 533 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: the end of the hammock. It blows out. I am 534 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: now in the tide Jungle for the very first night 535 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: we're there, having spent the day looking at cobras and 536 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: centipedes and stick bugs that are the size of logs 537 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: and spiders. I am now in the pitch black laying 538 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: My head's still kind of in the hammock, but the 539 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: entire naked bottom part of my body I had underwear on, 540 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: but my legs and feet are now laying on the 541 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: jungle floor. And remember I said it didn't come untied, 542 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: it didn't tear, it blew out. I have to stand up. 543 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: All my buddies are laughing at me at this point 544 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: in time, by the way, as I'm just dog cussing 545 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: this hammock, I now have to stand up, and I 546 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: have to blindly because there's no light.

As 602 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: much as you admire JF. Kennedy, would you agree he's 603 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: guilty for allowing the entry and access to this side 604 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: of the Atlantic to the USSR and communism the moment 605 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,799 Speaker 1: he decided to withdraw support from the Cubans who went 606 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: to overthrow Castro in Cuba in nineteen sixty one, and 607 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: later when he reached an agreement but with the USSR 608 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 1: not to intervene with the progress of communism on the island, 609 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,879 Speaker 1: so on and so forth, says I can mention his name. 610 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 1: His name is Eduardo. Sorry, EDWARDO. I don't have time 611 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 1: to get all the email, although it's a good one. 612 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: Look when I say I admire John F. Kennedy, I 613 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: can admit things like what Eduardo just said our one 614 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 1: hundred percent true. I just I long for the days 615 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 1: where Democrats and Republicans loved the country. John F. Kennedy, 616 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: and he fault you want appointed him, and I know 617 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,839 Speaker 1: he had a bunch. That's fine. John F. Kennedy at 618 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 1: one point in his life, as a young man, was 619 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: swimming through the water with one of his men being 620 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,839 Speaker 1: dragged behind him, and JFK had the guy's rope that 621 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: was attached to him in his teeth, swimming him to safety. Now, 622 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 1: I know you can say that's nostalgic or naive, or 623 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: it was his fault. They were in the water, and 624 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 1: like all that stuff's probably true. That's that's fine. I 625 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 1: just I want a country where the leaders of the 626 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,800 Speaker 1: country love the country. And for so long in this country, 627 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: that was the kind of country we had, and now 628 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: we have a country where very few of them actually 629 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: love the place, and far fewer than that would would 630 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 1: ever think about dying for the place. When I when 631 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,840 Speaker 1: I talk about my admiration for JFK, I admire putting 632 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 1: your life on the line for America and loving America. 633 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 1: I do.
