Speaker 1: bit more than five years. Yeah. Oh so, like just
Speaker 1: before the pandemic came, I had like a good six
Speaker 1: months of making friends and then it was like, those
Speaker 1: are the only people you'll ever know for the rest
Speaker 1: of your life. I hope you did well. They're like
Speaker 1: some of them are kind of bad, but I got
Speaker 1: to go. Absolutely.
Speaker 3: La wasn't a bad place to get locked down in though,
Speaker 3: because you could still hike, you know, there was still
Speaker 3: I can't imagine people who are locked down in your
Speaker 3: in your hometown of the city of New York, the
Speaker 3: Big Apple. We're just living in those small rooms.
Speaker 1: And in the winter too. Yeah, yeah, it was really
Speaker 1: I mean Rodre was colder, but yeah, for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 1: My parents live in like a time still living the
Speaker 1: apartment I grew up in, which is like a tiny
Speaker 1: apartment with a murphy bed, and it was like, truly
Speaker 1: not where you wanted to spend twenty four hours a day,
Speaker 1: twenty four seven. That's not where you want it to
Speaker 1: be Yeah, you're like, let's look out the window. Oh
Speaker 1: a brick wall, right, all right? Close that degerative curtain.
Speaker 1: Reminded why we don't open it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Well, Chris Murphy Bed another great Irish artist, go ahead.
Speaker 1: Yes, honestly, And he backs up Michael McDonald that many
Speaker 1: of his live shows. Wait, he does.
Speaker 2: Who's Murphy Bed inventor? Now I gotta look that up.
Speaker 1: It would be incredible if it was not someone named Murphy,
Speaker 1: That's what I say, Yeah, form diorg Joseph Bed. Fortunately
Speaker 1: it's it's a guy named William Lawrence Murphy Bill Larry Murphy.
Speaker 1: I came up with it around nineteen hundred in San Francisco. Okay,
Speaker 1: well I mean yeah, I mean the ship is everywhere.
Speaker 1: That is like one of the things where you feel like, man,
Speaker 1: who fucks with the Murphy Bed? But anytime you're in
Speaker 1: like a smaller space, like it's actually vital.
Speaker 3: To be able to got to have one. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I will say.
Speaker 1: No has ever said, wow, I got the best night's
Speaker 1: sleep of my life on this one Murphy bed. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The thing that came out of the wall.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but when we folded down like an ironing board, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's really comfortable.
Speaker 2: Just the sound of it is so welcoming. You're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: are the springs breaking as you pull it down.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The more common feeling when you when you wake
Speaker 1: up in Murphy bed is I'm really relieved that thing
Speaker 1: didn't spring into the wall again and kill me in
Speaker 1: the night. Is that possible or is that just in cartoons?
Speaker 1: I think it's just in cartoons, based on the experience
Speaker 1: at my parents' house, it's it's in cartoons.
Speaker 2: You were okay, for the record, you were not smashed
Speaker 2: a bit. You can't see this if you're listening, but
Speaker 2: I am extremely flat. I am flat at the panet.
Speaker 2: You do the thing where you put your thumb in
Speaker 2: your mouth, and God, are incredible dimples.
Speaker 1: Those are nice. Thank you so much. Well, Chris, we're
Speaker 1: gonna get to know you a little bit better.
Speaker 2: But first we're gonna let people know what we are
Speaker 2: going to be talking about news wise, because there's a
Speaker 2: lot happening.
Speaker 1: A game.
Speaker 2: A furry Hacker collective absolutely poned the Heritage Foundation, the
Speaker 2: right wing think tank behind Project twenty twenty five, So
Speaker 2: we'll get into that story and the very interesting response
Speaker 2: from the Heritage Foundation Unfortunately, there's more drama on the
Speaker 2: Democratic Party. It turns out now the Biden camp suspects
Speaker 2: that Barack Obama is the real haater in chief and
Speaker 2: is the one trying to push Joe Biden out. Oh
Speaker 2: my god, can we just get a fucking break for
Speaker 2: one second now? And then a story that's just straight
Speaker 2: out absurd and bad. The AMO vending machines are here
Speaker 2: for us to use for people who have firearms that
Speaker 2: want to buy loose bullets while you buy a gatorade.
Speaker 2: So we'll get into that development, the technology that's absolutely
Speaker 2: probably gonna keep us all safe, and.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about so much more. But first, Chris Stuffer,
Speaker 1: Can I call you Christopher? Absolutely? That's the full name.
Speaker 3: Can I call you Chris?
Speaker 1: Yes, I go by Chris. May call you Peter, call
Speaker 1: me whatever you want. What's your middle name? Do you
Speaker 1: do you mean you're revealing that?
Speaker 4: Ye?
Speaker 1: Edit that out because I was about to say my
Speaker 1: social Security number and my mother's made a name of password.
Speaker 1: Beleeve it or back and we're back, and thanks so much.
Speaker 1: Ignore your emails. Set of numbers. It's a beautiful set.
Speaker 1: I just got to say. I think three, one, four, six, eight,
Speaker 1: two two seven nine is a great social security number
Speaker 1: for you. I am also impressed that right off the
Speaker 1: top of the dome you could remember how many numbers
Speaker 1: were in a social security number. Well, I just said
Speaker 1: back your actual social Security numbers, and that's true. I
Speaker 1: was trying to make it seem like it wasn't real. Well,
Speaker 1: I think, don't you have been.
Speaker 2: I mean for anybody who's like clocked in at a
Speaker 2: job or your social Security was your login?
Speaker 1: Like did anyone doesn't have this experience like when you
Speaker 1: clocked in like oh yeah, yeah, yeah, when you clocking
Speaker 1: like the work computer where.
Speaker 3: You put it like that, Well that was work anymore now,
Speaker 3: But when people used to work, when.
Speaker 2: People used to work and weren't on their phones, yes,
Speaker 2: screaming it you skating a QR code.
Speaker 1: I remember.
Speaker 2: Just the rhythm of it has always put the while security.
Speaker 1: Rhythm in my mind, like yeah, it's pretty good. Look,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm teaching con Man improv classes for anyone
Speaker 1: who's interested over at i Olympics.
Speaker 3: They're so expensive, yeah, so much money.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, it's more people coming to the drug.
Speaker 2: How much you got and weather's from arrested development thing, Well,
Speaker 2: well that's exactly how much these clauses cast.
Speaker 1: It's fascinating on It's incredible how that is so close
Speaker 1: to how actual improv classes just work normally.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, they they find the like absolute amount.
Speaker 1: That's like, well, they're gonna be eating taco bell sauce
Speaker 1: packets for meals. But the promise of maybe having a
Speaker 1: bit part on parks and rec we'll get their Have
Speaker 1: you ever heard of broad City?
Speaker 2: They met here here here do you know that guy?
Speaker 1: Do you know human giant?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Also here look at the wall. Folks.
Speaker 2: You could be any one of these people. You probably won't,
Speaker 2: but that's the fish we're gonna that's the thing, that's.
Speaker 1: The character we need, the tiger people. That's FDR Well
Speaker 1: what do you mean? Yeah, yeah, I was bringing it dude.
Speaker 1: The new debject work was incredible. You didn't even need
Speaker 1: the wheelchair. The new Deal? What is the deal? The
Speaker 1: new deal? What's the deal? What's the new deal? Somehow
Speaker 1: taking the show to new depths. Chris Duffie, I appreciate
Speaker 1: what you have done energetically because Blake and I it's
Speaker 1: already quit chaotic enough, but to have a consummate guess
Speaker 1: and er oh my goodness rock. Well, first you got
Speaker 1: to ask you, Chris Duffy, what is something from your
Speaker 1: search history that's revealing about who you are? Well, you know,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that the most recent thing in my
Speaker 1: Google search history is how to see Google Search history.
Speaker 1: Because I knew I was preparing for this show, I
Speaker 1: like a prepared guest. But then, you know, I found
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that I had forgotten in my
Speaker 1: Google search history that I've forgotten why, And I think
Speaker 1: it says a lot, even to me about who I am.
Speaker 1: Like one of the things I found was hot dog
Speaker 1: buns controversy because I was going to a cookout and
Speaker 1: I remembered that some hot dog bun I could bring
Speaker 1: would indicate that I supported the far right. But I
Speaker 1: couldn't remember how or why. Wait, but there's a far
Speaker 1: right hot which hot dog? What was the fun?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: It turns out that Martin's potato rolls they're donating heavily
Speaker 1: to far right causes.
Speaker 3: Those things are way too fuck too sweet. They're too sweet,
Speaker 3: aren't they? They're basically like French roles. For me, this
Speaker 3: is how I.
Speaker 1: Live in twenty twenty four America is whenever I do
Speaker 1: anything I first have to google is this bad and
Speaker 1: evil accidentally funding faster something? Yeah, and look you've done
Speaker 1: your due diligence. Oh, that was googling what is the
Speaker 1: treasure in National Treasure? And you know what, it's not
Speaker 1: the it's not the Declaration of Independence, which is what
Speaker 1: I have remembered it as. No, No, that's the map
Speaker 1: to the treasure, which is kind of like undisclosed. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it was just.
Speaker 3: I could never keep up with the side of that movie.
Speaker 3: I always found it confusing.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Literally, the answer that I got to after like
Speaker 1: half an hour of googling was treasure. It is some
Speaker 1: sort of treasure. Treasure, Wow, treasure? Was there ever? Like
Speaker 1: that's Nicholas Cage right, Yeah? Was there ever? Like, weren't
Speaker 1: there like theories that like there was like a crossover
Speaker 1: between like the microfilm and the Rock and National Treasure, like.
Speaker 2: That there was a connection there or that was like
Speaker 2: a weird fan theory.
Speaker 1: I think there's some big like fan theory conspiracy theories
Speaker 1: that a lot of other movies take place in the
Speaker 1: National Treasure extended universe, like many many other movies exist
Speaker 1: in a world where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution
Speaker 1: have been stolen right right. Oh.
Speaker 2: Someone also pointed out that in The Rock and National
Speaker 2: Treasure Book of Secrets, the same man gets his vehicles
Speaker 2: stolen while retrieving it from a valet during.
Speaker 1: The start of a chasing. The guys like my I'm
Speaker 1: by the same. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The Humby guy from the Rock also got his range
Speaker 2: over straight up fucking just came off his range over
Speaker 2: in Book of Secrets.
Speaker 1: I would absolutely watch a short film that's just that
Speaker 1: man going to the car dealership and being like it
Speaker 1: happened again. Yeah, I'm back. You won't believe.
Speaker 2: No, I'm sorry. You're gambling again, aren't you?
Speaker 1: Rick, No, I'm not.
Speaker 3: I wish I was gambling. No, because that I got
Speaker 3: taken again.
Speaker 1: One of the few men who escaped Alcatraz. He just
Speaker 1: got a haircut and he somehow got to the lobby.
Speaker 1: I was dropping off my Humby and he took it
Speaker 1: for a fucking joy ride in San Francisco and destroyed it.
Speaker 2: He learned to drive and stole my car. Chris, what
Speaker 2: is something you think is underrated?
Speaker 1: Underrated? You know, I'm gonna say. Underrated is confidently admitting
Speaker 1: that you don't know, something like saying I have no
Speaker 1: clue what you're talking about. I've never seen that movie?
Speaker 1: What does al Dente mean? I love when someone comes
Speaker 1: up and says like, I know I'm supposed to know this,
Speaker 1: but I have no clue. I'm not good at this
Speaker 1: at all. But I really admire when a person says
Speaker 1: like I never seen that. I eventually I'm unable to
Speaker 1: do this, but I admire it in other people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it gets weird when people are just completely unwilling to
Speaker 1: acknowledge they don't know something. It's one thing like I
Speaker 1: get most people to their urge is just to kind
Speaker 1: of clam up and be quiet and be like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not even going to speak on it because I'm
Speaker 1: going to do the thing like in college when I
Speaker 1: didn't understand anything or school and I was like, maybe
Speaker 1: someone else will ask the question I'm waiting to have
Speaker 1: to ask because I don't want to be that person.
Speaker 1: But yeah, when you see people who'll be like, no,
Speaker 1: that's actually not right, and you're like, you have no
Speaker 1: idea what you're talking about right now? This is all that.
Speaker 3: Lauren's a terrible move too, of just like oh, oh dente.
Speaker 3: I love Italian food, and actually I really like pizza,
Speaker 3: so they keep trying to get further away from them
Speaker 3: so they can still fucking talk, you know, not be wrong.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I do this all the time. Like
Speaker 1: I would say, ninety percent of the time. If you
Speaker 1: say ask me if I've seen a movie, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna be like, of course, and then I would just
Speaker 1: hope that you fill in the blanks. And it really is.
Speaker 1: It's a disaster. That's why I respect when people do
Speaker 1: it the other way round.
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you in a relationship?
Speaker 1: I am. I'm married, And did you ever do that?
Speaker 3: You're listening to the Daily Site radio in the Apple
Speaker 3: Store and all the Spotify podcasts.
Speaker 1: This is one app, dude, it's an app. M Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not going.
Speaker 3: To keep explaining you need to send me the updated
Speaker 3: script because I don't know what I'm reading right now
Speaker 3: to be completed.
Speaker 1: Well, I didn't want to out you. You don't know
Speaker 1: how to read either.
Speaker 3: Well, this is one of the things that we're here.
Speaker 3: You're right, I don't know how to read. See, I'm
Speaker 3: on the same page with Chris. I can admit when
Speaker 3: I can't do something, and there's beautiful reading like that
Speaker 3: guard from Marquette who.
Speaker 1: Was in the draft. Who they're like to do that.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that guy can't. I don't know how
Speaker 2: that happened.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to do a segue to the NBA Draft,
Speaker 1: but there was a story about a guy who went
Speaker 1: to Marquette and they were suspecting that he was he
Speaker 1: wasn't unable to read, which is fucking indictment on every
Speaker 1: every from the teachers that failed him, to the to
Speaker 1: the Big East to the state of Wisconsin. I also
Speaker 1: feel like this is one of the few conspiracy theories,
Speaker 1: not about this person specifically, but anytime there's that conspiracy theory,
Speaker 1: I'm like, if they respond immediately, then it's wrong. And
Speaker 1: if they don't respond to me, it means they couldn't
Speaker 1: read the accusation. I believe it. Yeah, like yeah, right,
Speaker 1: same premise of like this kind of like the Homish jokes.
Speaker 1: Did you see that clip of someone posted on Twitter
Speaker 1: They're like, uh, like, I'm here in Indiana and some
Speaker 1: Amish guys pulled up to a basketball court and like
Speaker 1: the city and just started playing and were like balling out,
Speaker 1: and then someone tweeted underneath it's like if one of
Speaker 1: them hits a step back, they got TV, like, that's
Speaker 1: so funny. Just so you know, just so you know, overrated, Chris,
Speaker 1: what's some any thing is overrated? Christopher? I feel like
Speaker 1: this is. I know this is a controversial one because
Speaker 1: people come in with uh, you know, all sorts of
Speaker 1: overrated takes that are that are very uh pop culture,
Speaker 1: but mine is a general one. I think coffee is overrated.
Speaker 1: Coffee as a whole thing. People are lining up and
Speaker 1: waiting for coffee at coffee shops. They're they're making content
Speaker 1: about a cup of bean water. I don't understand it.
Speaker 1: Coffee is is exactly what it should be, but it
Speaker 1: has it has risen up to the level of overrated.
Speaker 1: I feel like coffee is overrated. Are you. I'm guessing,
Speaker 1: just from your personality type, you may not need the
Speaker 1: aid of caffeine one hundred percent correct, And that is
Speaker 1: that's the gentlest way of saying, sir, you need to
Speaker 1: calm down.
Speaker 2: No, not even because I'm the same way, like I'm
Speaker 2: caffeine insensitive and people like, would you drink a bunch
Speaker 2: of coffee?
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, don't even fuck this shit, don't even
Speaker 1: bang unless I drink like like the most pure cold
Speaker 1: brew then I start getting up a little bit or
Speaker 1: Vietnamese coffee. Yeah yeah, I'm the opposite where I like
Speaker 1: the taste, but when I drink it, my like hands
Speaker 1: start shaking because it's like, we do not need this.
Speaker 3: Oh shit, yeah we're redlining. Yeah that's interesting. I love
Speaker 3: so I love coffee, but to your point, I hate
Speaker 3: the culture around it, if that makes sense, where it's
Speaker 3: more of an addiction and a treat for me. And
Speaker 3: also I guess a boost more than like I don't
Speaker 3: need to have a way these beans roasted or like
Speaker 3: if it tastes good, it tastes good.
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? Like I don't get A friend of.
Speaker 2: Mine started weighing the water, you know, because like to
Speaker 2: make like a perfect pour over it's like an amount
Speaker 2: of grams of water and all.
Speaker 1: This and and I get it.
Speaker 2: Yo, if that's for you, I'm glad you have the energy,
Speaker 2: because I have the energy to do all kinds of
Speaker 2: weird shit, you know, like with weed and stuff.
Speaker 1: They'd be like, why are you doing it? Because you've
Speaker 1: got to get the texture right of the blunt or
Speaker 1: else is not fucking good. Let me do my thing.
Speaker 2: But again, each people, everyone has their own thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, just a simple cup is fine translated in
Speaker 1: general by the Sheryl Crow. You know, if it makes
Speaker 1: you happy, it can't be that bad. But I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is I think we've gone a little far on
Speaker 1: this one. I think we've gone a little far. Is
Speaker 1: waiting mine making you happy? Like I fell into this
Speaker 1: where my wife got me an espresso machine, I think
Speaker 1: for Christmas?
Speaker 2: But you also have a wife I do, and we'll
Speaker 2: be a bit.
Speaker 1: Listen to this podcast wherever you find your podcast. iHeartMedia
Speaker 1: and on all your Spotify podcasts apps.
Speaker 3: I just tried to high five Chris from across the
Speaker 3: country and know you're like, I I got this this
Speaker 3: espresso machine, and I like the espresso. But then I
Speaker 3: started reading going into the espresso reddits and then convincing
Speaker 3: myself that I wasn't good enough for the way I
Speaker 3: was making expressed, So like I just.
Speaker 2: Express team whatever you want to call that ship.
Speaker 1: Wait, what do you mean?
Speaker 2: How did you get bummed out from? Like what to
Speaker 2: walk me through? What were they what was being said
Speaker 2: that You're.
Speaker 5: Like, oh, I'm not good enough for this, because they
Speaker 5: were all like, oh I measure the bean like to
Speaker 5: what we were just talking about measure the water, the beans,
Speaker 5: I do it like like the the grounds, isn't.
Speaker 1: It like that? Atmospheres too, Like the pressure is also
Speaker 1: a huge thing with espresso.
Speaker 3: That's a big thing. And I'm like, oh, no, mine,
Speaker 3: I'm never gonna fit into this community and I need
Speaker 3: to buy all this ship and uh and then I'm like, no,
Speaker 3: I like it. Like to Chris's point, you don't have
Speaker 3: to live the whole life. You can just have something
Speaker 3: you enjoyed privately.
Speaker 1: You're like, that is, babe, which espresso machine do we have?
Speaker 1: It's a Currie, It's a cure.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so none of this stuff applies here.
Speaker 1: What's incredible about uh about humans there is we're like
Speaker 1: so desperate to fit in that You're even like, I
Speaker 1: can't fit into the online espresso community.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, yeah something I did it though existed Yeah
Speaker 3: until thirty seconds ago.
Speaker 2: Just punting the espresso machine to the curb and shit,
Speaker 2: fuck boo.
Speaker 3: I need to make more money.
Speaker 1: That's better things. Yeah. I do think that if you
Speaker 1: spend more than one hour on an online espresso community,
Speaker 1: there should be a pop up this that's you need
Speaker 1: to make more money. Get back to work.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like, uh ah, your income is not high
Speaker 2: enough for this to actually make sense to you. Uh
Speaker 2: because like you see, there was someone I went to
Speaker 2: some like there's some agency and like one of these
Speaker 2: talent agencies, and like people talk about like oh man.
Speaker 1: Like they got like one of those insane espresso machines
Speaker 1: from fucking Italy, and like you go and it really
Speaker 1: is like it's like the size of like a baby
Speaker 1: Grand piano and like like there's like painted like a
Speaker 1: fucking Ferrari engine and you're like how much.
Speaker 2: Like it's like it's thirty thousand dollars something.
Speaker 1: Bro, Just give me a fucking vitamin water and I'll
Speaker 1: keep this shit moving. Yeah, please, it's all status, You're right, Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I mean it's not that I mean, like for because
Speaker 1: obviously Italians take their shit seriously, but it's just like
Speaker 1: some things are so outside of my grasp or my
Speaker 1: experience or my interests that like when I look at it,
Speaker 1: I'm like, god, cool man, Like I honestly it's wasted
Speaker 1: on me because I wouldn't fucking know it came out
Speaker 1: of like a thirty thousand dollars or however many tens
Speaker 1: of thousand dollars machine. Well there's also like someone there
Speaker 1: who's the unpaid summer intern, who's like, all that I've
Speaker 1: actually learned on this job is how to use the
Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars express. And if you actually had just
Speaker 1: not bought this, you could have paid me for my
Speaker 1: labor this summer. That would have been really nice. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much.
Speaker 2: At least, like I could have done Starbucks runs and
Speaker 2: got points in my app for it, but I could
Speaker 2: have netted out for something at the end. Anyway, let's
Speaker 2: take a quick break.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back and we'll get into the news,
Speaker 1: and we're back.
Speaker 2: And the Heritage Foundation, the right wing think tank behind
Speaker 2: Project twenty twenty five, was recently the target of the
Speaker 2: hacker group sieged SEC. They are a self proclaimed group
Speaker 2: of gay furry hactavists who go after specifically anti LGBTQ
Speaker 2: plus groups. So Project twenty twenty five we've talked about
Speaker 2: it before, but it's getting a lot of attention now
Speaker 2: in the mainstream news, especially since Trump was trying to
Speaker 2: pull a.
Speaker 1: Mariah Carey being like, oh, I don't know her nothing
Speaker 1: about it at.
Speaker 2: All, come to find out, or just a cursory glance,
Speaker 2: you'll see that at least one hundred and forty people
Speaker 2: that worked in his first administration have a hand in
Speaker 2: it now. Basically, just a quick summary is like it's
Speaker 2: a roadmap for Trump's next administration and what he would
Speaker 2: do sort of in the first one hundred and eighty days.
Speaker 2: And it's filled with batshit policies like eliminating environmental protections,
Speaker 2: banning pornography, banning birth control, purging government employees so they
Speaker 2: can be replaced with flunkys, just all kinds. I mean,
Speaker 2: it touches literally everything from immigration to diversity initiatives, to
Speaker 2: like who's protected and who isn't, what civil rights are
Speaker 2: or are not. And it's like a huge thing, which
Speaker 2: is why Trump has been like, oh god, that thing
Speaker 2: that's posted very publicly on the Internet that is proclaiming
Speaker 2: this is what's going to happen from the people who
Speaker 2: I took two thirds of their suggestions in my first administration.
Speaker 1: So it's also.
Speaker 2: Crammed with a mind blowing amount of like homophobic, transphobic nonsense,
Speaker 2: which put the Heritage Foundation in the crosshairs.
Speaker 1: Of sieged sec. The forward of the project twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five documents specifically calls out the trans community by vowing
Speaker 1: an end to the so called quote toxic normalization of
Speaker 1: transgenderism and the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology. So the
Speaker 1: hackers do what they do, and did what they did
Speaker 1: and recently announced that they have over two hundred gigabytes
Speaker 1: of files from the organization, which like they just got pumed.
Speaker 1: They're like, we have all of your.
Speaker 2: Everything, which has information IP addresses, all kinds of shit
Speaker 2: of every user in their database. So a bit of
Speaker 2: sunlight as a way to sanitize things now. An executive
Speaker 2: from the group made his anger about the hack very
Speaker 2: public when he messaged a member of the group named
Speaker 2: Viio This is from a write up I think from
Speaker 2: Rolling Stone. After declining an offer to talk with this
Speaker 2: guy's named Mike Howell, who works for the Heritage Foundation
Speaker 2: on the phone, Bio said seat Sex simply wanted to
Speaker 2: quote shine a light on who supports the Heritage Foundation
Speaker 2: and didn't want money or faith. Howell responded by asking, what,
Speaker 2: that's why you hacked us just for that? He then
Speaker 2: said the organization was in quote the process of identifying
Speaker 2: and outing members of your group reputations and lives will
Speaker 2: be destroyed.
Speaker 1: Closeted furries will be presented to the world for the
Speaker 1: degenerate perverts they are, is what the message is said.
Speaker 1: It continued with more threats and insults and aren't even
Speaker 1: worth mentioning. Io responded eloquently by just saying, well, that
Speaker 1: was unprofessional, and said that he would share the conversation
Speaker 1: between the two. Howell responded, please share widely. I hope
Speaker 1: the word spreads as fast as STDs do in your
Speaker 1: degenerate furry community. When the exchange predictably ended up online,
Speaker 1: Mike Howell responded like any homophobic white dude would and
Speaker 1: posted eminem lyrics as like a like a quote tweet
Speaker 1: like the chat log was posted and.
Speaker 2: Then he fucking just just quoted it with and I
Speaker 2: am whatever you say I am. If I wasn't, then
Speaker 2: why would I say I am in the paper the
Speaker 2: whole fucking Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: He went on to say ball with the ball, but
Speaker 3: Banga Dang.
Speaker 1: Said up jump the boogie, So yeah, that's that's kind
Speaker 1: of where that's That was his response.
Speaker 2: The group is now a siege sect. The Hacker Group
Speaker 2: is going to disband to you know, They're like, we
Speaker 2: don't need any law enforcement heat right now, so we're
Speaker 2: gonna just we're.
Speaker 1: Going to the shadows. And that guy Mike Howell was like,
Speaker 1: see what I did. They're disbanding because I fucking just
Speaker 1: grilled their asses with my eminem lyrics.
Speaker 2: It's all very all very America in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 2: and it feels like just you know, the tired one.
Speaker 2: I didn't have this on my bingo card type story,
Speaker 2: but here we are.
Speaker 1: You know, there are there are definitely problems with living
Speaker 1: in a polarized society. But I have to say this
Speaker 1: is one of the few times where I've been like, Okay,
Speaker 1: there's a clear benefit to living in a polarized society,
Speaker 1: Because if I found out that my coworker was secretly
Speaker 1: a gay fury hacker taking down the Heritage Foundation, I
Speaker 1: would be like, I like you so much more right now,
Speaker 1: and everyone in this office likes you so much more.
Speaker 1: Like his idea of like I'm gonna out you and
Speaker 1: it's gonna ruin your lives, it's gonna make their lives
Speaker 1: way there like every way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, prob is too many baked goods getting gifted their way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, truly truly truly because Blake, So I was I mean,
Speaker 3: I was just waiting for you to stop saying truly
Speaker 3: over and over truly truly.
Speaker 2: Well, this the show is sponsored by Truly Spike. Thank
Speaker 2: you so much, the truly truly it's really truly, truly truly.
Speaker 3: Tobo Chiko White Claw White Claw White. So two of
Speaker 3: youre gigabytes is so much where it's not like these
Speaker 3: are this is four K video like right, text, but yeah,
Speaker 3: it's text.
Speaker 2: That's a lot of people. And the other thing is
Speaker 2: interesting too.
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll probably talk about this in a later episode,
Speaker 1: but there's such a huge focus on banning pornography because
Speaker 1: it's partially just sort of like it's making it's it's
Speaker 1: clouding the minds of men. But it's also like a
Speaker 1: way to sort of take back like the influence of
Speaker 1: anything that like is like open sexuality. So to them,
Speaker 1: that's gonna that's going to create a more openness to
Speaker 1: like any and people expressing their sexuality in any way.
Speaker 1: They're like, if we can clamp down on that, then
Speaker 1: the cis Het bros will inherit the earth. But we
Speaker 1: just gotta stop the fucking.
Speaker 2: Bleeding there and that's why we've seen all these like
Speaker 2: porn pornography bands pop up like left and right, but
Speaker 2: clearly like those are those are very indirect attacks at
Speaker 2: like the gay and trans community.
Speaker 3: So that's that's such a good point. They're not like
Speaker 3: we must ban the missionary position between Like that's not
Speaker 3: what they're worried about. They're trying to take away rights
Speaker 3: and visibility because everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also too, like they want to create you
Speaker 2: know this like very like bring back like that sex
Speaker 2: is purely like as the Bible intended for procreation and
Speaker 2: the continuation.
Speaker 1: Of tip for them, the like a white ethno state.
Speaker 1: Well it's also it also like ties in for me
Speaker 1: of this this like broader strategy that the right uses
Speaker 1: a lot, which is to accuse the left of doing
Speaker 1: the exact same thing that they are doing, where they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: you want to right, well, the left is replacing everyone
Speaker 1: in government with their their sick, indoctrinated people. And then
Speaker 1: they're like, here's a document that says exactly how we'd
Speaker 1: like to replace everyone in government with that, And they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're trying to influence kids and affect education by putting
Speaker 1: things that are not accurate in the textbooks, and they're
Speaker 1: actually we're going to send to the textbooks like they
Speaker 1: just say, to the textbooks. Religion is rife like at
Speaker 1: all of our curriculum. And also please do not look
Speaker 1: at any kind of sexual abuse scandals that involve organized
Speaker 1: religion and night states anyway, moving on, and it's the
Speaker 1: furries that are hacking people on behalf of protecting like
Speaker 1: the vulnerable in society. Yes, it is that completely, that's it.
Speaker 1: So it's always like unmask you. Yeah, the pornography thing
Speaker 1: is just the same thing where it's like, you guys
Speaker 1: are obsessed with pornography. It's disgusting how obsessed you are
Speaker 1: with pornography, not us. And then you I'm sure that
Speaker 1: two hundred gigabytes is just like every idea address that
Speaker 1: the Heraticals Foundation twenty four SEPs And then cut to
Speaker 1: even Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, who like on
Speaker 1: the road to becoming Speaker of the House. We found
Speaker 1: out he uses this app Covenant Eyes, which prevents him
Speaker 1: from jerking off so him and his son can look
Speaker 1: at each other whatever they're looking at on their what.
Speaker 3: Was that called what was what was the app called?
Speaker 2: It's called truly truly truly Spike self truly truly, truly truly.
Speaker 1: It's called Covenant eyes. Yeah, Covenant ice, coming in ice,
Speaker 1: coming in ice. Cover them eyes. You've got coven I
Speaker 1: would love if coveing. And I was like, look, we
Speaker 1: were really in the media right now, this is our
Speaker 1: chance to branch out.
Speaker 3: We are.
Speaker 1: We are a nonpartisan app that is just trying to
Speaker 1: help fathers and sons have cool conversations about what they're
Speaker 1: looking at on.
Speaker 2: Them exactly, and and if it's porn then yeah, get
Speaker 2: mad at each other man. But again, but this is
Speaker 2: also a thing like even within evangelical groups too. You
Speaker 2: see them like I've seen how porn addiction has affected
Speaker 2: my church community and things like that, and like all
Speaker 2: this repressed sexuality. It's y'all just figure yourselves out. Stop
Speaker 2: sucking figure out.
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta attack the demand, not the supply. Right.
Speaker 1: It's the War on drugs all over again, where it's
Speaker 1: like the problem is that some people are addicted to pornography,
Speaker 1: so we better make sure there's never pornography again. It's like, maybe,
Speaker 1: actually what you're talking about is mental health care. I
Speaker 1: think what you're describing is like affordable mental health care. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe being more openness about people's gender expression or sexuality
Speaker 1: so they're not sort of shoved into a violent closet
Speaker 1: where those ideas manifest and fester into something else. Whatever.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the no, no, no, we gotta
Speaker 1: shut down that. If I don't, if I don't have
Speaker 1: to look at him kissing, then I don't have to
Speaker 1: think about it.
Speaker 3: Oh sir, you're grinding your teeth.
Speaker 1: You're awake, Sorry, your front teeth are cracking. Anyway, So
Speaker 1: much love to see sec and doing doing the work
Speaker 1: of the of the good side.
Speaker 2: Uh in an era of evil doers, because the only
Speaker 2: evil abounds. Going on to the presidential race, just another tidbit.
Speaker 2: I mean, as it stands, Joe Biden is still the
Speaker 2: the he's the candidate. He is, he is who's going
Speaker 2: to be run. But the thing that's surrounding obviously there's
Speaker 2: all this speculation, what's.
Speaker 1: Going is he gonna is he gonna step down? Should
Speaker 1: he step down? He heeds stepp down? I don't want
Speaker 1: to step down. Who's gonna take the money? It should
Speaker 1: be calm on, no, it should be grabbing do something.
Speaker 1: Maybe should be fucking Patrick Bateman from American Psycho fucking anyone.
Speaker 1: But if I just.
Speaker 2: God, if things weren't already grim enough surrounding this election.
Speaker 2: There's now speculation from Biden's team that Obama, Barack Obama,
Speaker 2: maybe pulling strings to put pressure on Biden to drop out.
Speaker 2: So on Morning Joe, which is Biden's version of Fox
Speaker 2: and Friends, as you heard from when he called into
Speaker 2: the show on Monday, and that can not go well.
Speaker 2: I don't think we talked about that because we don't
Speaker 2: need to pile on more at.
Speaker 1: This point, folks.
Speaker 2: Joe Scarborough said quote, One thing that we do that
Speaker 2: we do have to underline here just so viewers can
Speaker 2: follow what's going on behind the scenes is the Biden campaign,
Speaker 2: and many Democratic officials do believe that Barack Obama is
Speaker 2: quietly working hard behind.
Speaker 1: The scenes to orchestrate this. Mika Brazinski, who's his wife
Speaker 1: and co host, also said quote, I think Barack Obama
Speaker 1: has a lot of influence, and there's a lot there
Speaker 1: which we're like, oh, we're we're doing this. Hung We're gonna,
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're blaming Barack Obama. We're gonna, we're doing
Speaker 1: We're gonna.
Speaker 2: Blame a person of color now for like that's.
Speaker 1: The real problem. Probably is could be Barack now.
Speaker 2: Some believe that Obama's friendship with George Clooney, who he
Speaker 2: touched on he broke up with Biden via New York
Speaker 2: Times op ed earlier this week, is a sign that Obama,
Speaker 2: at the very least isn't stopping influential people from piling on.
Speaker 2: They also point to the fact that people like David
Speaker 2: Axelrod or the Pod Save America guys have also said
Speaker 2: Biden needs to really consider like bowing out and that
Speaker 2: their former Obama aids that like this is all part
Speaker 2: of like this network of people who are might just
Speaker 2: also be observing what is happening and coming to this conclusion.
Speaker 2: But it's very interesting to see that, Like, I mean.
Speaker 1: Maybe it is Barack Obama. I don't know, but it is.
Speaker 1: It's like it's something that many people who have said
Speaker 1: that I don't think arises to the level of like
Speaker 1: conspiracy at this point, but I don't know. It's aweso
Speaker 1: like putting such a nefarious spin on it and blaming
Speaker 1: Barack Obama when you know, to me, what I'm hearing
Speaker 1: is like if your friend Barack and all your other
Speaker 1: friends are saying the same thing. It might mean that
Speaker 1: they're just giving you good advice. Like I had a
Speaker 1: thing happen in middle school where all the cool boys
Speaker 1: were wearing their hit. They had like gel in their
Speaker 1: hair that made it spike up straight up, like statue
Speaker 1: of Liberty, little front, exact thing. They had the statue
Speaker 1: of Liberty spike on. But I have curly hair, yeah right,
Speaker 1: And so my hair I would put the poem made
Speaker 1: in and when I left the house it would be
Speaker 1: spiked straight up. But by around ten am, after I'd
Speaker 1: sweat a little bit and it loosened up, it would
Speaker 1: curl fully back, so that I had like a cartoon
Speaker 1: baby curl, you know, like the babies have that, like
Speaker 1: you could stick a pencil. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Not a good look. And you know what, It took
Speaker 1: a lot of friends saying to me, you look very
Speaker 1: bad before I was like, maybe I do look bad,
Speaker 1: and maybe not the right movie. This is a fucking conspiracy. Yes, well,
Speaker 1: all y'all.
Speaker 2: Oh so all of y'all like you're like Denzel Washington
Speaker 2: at the end of training day.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all y'all, motherfuckers. That's exactly all y'all asses,
Speaker 1: that's that was me. Where's everybody going? That was in
Speaker 1: seventh grade going, you don't want me to be cool.
Speaker 1: You're trying to pull me back with this extra hold
Speaker 1: hair gel. And now how much like Joe Biden, I
Speaker 1: hope that he will realize, actually, maybe the the hair
Speaker 1: thing isn't really working out, like yeah, to take the advice.
Speaker 1: It's it's if we're caught in such a hard spot
Speaker 1: where like, at a certain point, I feel like most
Speaker 1: people be like, dude, I'm I'll vote for whoever the fuck.
Speaker 2: I don't give a fuck. It just can't be Trump.
Speaker 1: So literally, put a fucking box of Ritz Crackers in
Speaker 1: a suit and I'll go for it. That also sounds
Speaker 1: cool as hell. I would love to vote for Ritz
Speaker 1: Crackers in a suit. Buttery. I mean yeah, they're buttery.
Speaker 1: That kind of the suit is what did it for me,
Speaker 1: because it's like taking themselves.
Speaker 3: Okay, job they want they're that's impressive.
Speaker 1: The d n C is truly putting on the writs.
Speaker 1: I guess break. I also have a wife, So with.
Speaker 6: That, like all right, footes, no, let's take no, like no,
Speaker 6: let me just hit this one. Story's sorry, Oh real quick?
Speaker 1: Did you see that?
Speaker 3: So there was a Key and Peele sketch from years
Speaker 3: ago where the guy, I don't know if he was
Speaker 3: the president or what his job was, but he would
Speaker 3: do like cool handshakes with like the black people in
Speaker 3: attendance and then the white guys. He would just shake
Speaker 3: your hands.
Speaker 1: I'm a black person on the internet.
Speaker 2: I know about Pew Obama and I saw Obama wapping
Speaker 2: up the Team USA players and it was the exact
Speaker 2: same ship.
Speaker 3: Every well, be right back, That's what that was what
Speaker 3: I was going to say. But white guys got breaking.
Speaker 3: God Jesus, I'd vote a third term. All right, let's
Speaker 3: take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 1: What a what a time? What a time we live in? Uh, guys,
Speaker 1: we have so much fun during the breaks. It's really
Speaker 1: just choked back laughter. That doesn't make it do so
Speaker 1: sometimes I know Justin will cut it into the opening,
Speaker 1: But a lot of laughs happening.
Speaker 2: Where were Yes, of course it's twenty twenty four and
Speaker 2: I did have this on my Bengo card. AMMO vending
Speaker 2: machines Firearm ammunition vending machines are here, and I guess
Speaker 2: we're all living in some kind of fucking first person
Speaker 2: shooter game because now like it's you go to a
Speaker 2: vending machine for your your bang bang bullets. So in
Speaker 2: certain grocery stores in Alabama, Oklahoma, and Texas, you can
Speaker 2: now finally pick up a dozen eggs, a gallon of milk,
Speaker 2: a t bone steak, some diapers for the kids, and
Speaker 2: a box of fucking forty five ammo.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, You know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Finally, that's all I wanted, right next to the water.
Speaker 2: It's right there. The company claims that it's safe.
Speaker 1: Don't worry, man, The machines are equipped quote with built
Speaker 1: in AI technology. That is the biggest fucking red flag, dude,
Speaker 1: don't It's like you can just say that about fucking
Speaker 1: anything now, and it's it's meaningless. But to some people
Speaker 1: who aren't critically thinking like, oh.
Speaker 2: Well wait, the AI technology is built in, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: what is that even fucking Okay?
Speaker 3: Anyway, it's avasive and I don't really understand the technology myself.
Speaker 1: But also like it correct, and also like I'm not
Speaker 1: good at like saying like I don't know something, so
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna NodD along to say that that's good
Speaker 1: and allows you to get out of the thing.
Speaker 3: I can get them, that's all I really.
Speaker 1: I'm concerned. I got to get them, okay perfectly, and
Speaker 1: also has facial recognition software in order to quote meticulously
Speaker 1: verify the identity and age of each buyer. I'm sorry, motherfucker,
Speaker 1: with this face, you're not gonna know how old I am.
Speaker 3: No, this man is twelve. Gonna be wrong, Okay, this
Speaker 3: twelve year old again.
Speaker 1: The people at the dispensary, they're fucking always look at
Speaker 1: my idea and they're like, damn, bro, you're like forty.
Speaker 1: Someone said that shit to me the other day. He said, literally, damn, bro,
Speaker 1: you're like forty. And I was like, this is like
Speaker 1: a younger like gen Z dude working there. And I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, man, he's like, bro, he's like you
Speaker 1: look good man. He's like, and you look like a
Speaker 1: pretty chill guy.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: I want to be like that one. I'm forty. And
Speaker 1: I was like nice, and I was like looking at
Speaker 1: him like, damn, like you're twenty two. Like that is
Speaker 1: some I remember being like twenty two and seeing like
Speaker 1: a like an adult, like kind of semi having their
Speaker 1: shit together and be like, I want to be like
Speaker 1: that guy. It's not all bad. Yeah you could be.
Speaker 1: I could be that.
Speaker 3: I'm scared of what's gonna happen when like the bullets
Speaker 3: get stuck, you know, like a bag of chips, and
Speaker 3: then you shake the whole machining it explodes.
Speaker 1: I don't understand how vending machine technology works or how
Speaker 1: guns work, to be honest, but it does seem like
Speaker 1: an old vending machine pushing one of those bullets out.
Speaker 1: Quite likely that the machine is gonna shoot you. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: unless the AI.
Speaker 3: If the AI is there of course, to prevent that
Speaker 3: from happening, Yeah, is embedded in it.
Speaker 1: Well. Also, the other thing that I thought was so
Speaker 1: funny about the story is that they were like, don't worry,
Speaker 1: it does like a full verification scan. And they said
Speaker 1: that it does a three hundred and sixty degree verification,
Speaker 1: which I think that's so funny. Thing like do a
Speaker 1: little twirl show me what you're waking.
Speaker 2: That was gonna be like, all right, now, twirl from
Speaker 2: a Wow, you really want this buck shot?
Speaker 1: Okay, then let us know show me now see it?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah? Like and like disco music goes off suddenly.
Speaker 1: For that part, it's like a fun moment. They're like, uh, oh,
Speaker 1: we got a hottie over here, do a little chorus.
Speaker 1: The company is called the American Rounds, and like the
Speaker 1: idea of doing a little spin and it being like
Speaker 1: you are a certified American round exactly. Oh there's even
Speaker 1: a tie in with sexy red thugging with my rounds.
Speaker 1: You know, Hu, I.
Speaker 3: Didn't expect to get objectified by a bullet machine, and
Speaker 3: yeah here I am.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you're.
Speaker 2: A fool if you were gonna buy a bullets from
Speaker 2: a bullet machine and it didn't objectify you someone All right,
Speaker 2: hot stuff, look at that cute little but you're like,
Speaker 2: there's an expectation that this is going to be like
Speaker 2: a controversy free transaction.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's like a chivalrous bullet machine. It's like, no,
Speaker 3: this thing's a pig right right right.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, what a what a nicely formed posterior
Speaker 1: you have, sir.
Speaker 3: It's also bullets.
Speaker 1: We're also getting closer and sort of just living inside
Speaker 1: of the Chris Rock joke about making bullets cost so
Speaker 1: much money, right exactly. That was the thing.
Speaker 2: So like again, like you said, American rounds, their whole
Speaker 2: thing is like it's actually it's actually safer than retail because.
Speaker 1: No one can shoplift their AMMO. I'm sorry, where the
Speaker 1: fuck are people shoplifting animal? That shit is typically at
Speaker 1: least when I've seen it, like a sporting goods place,
Speaker 1: it's locked up, Like, you're not fucking shoplifting fucking ammal
Speaker 1: unless again, I live in California, so obviously you know
Speaker 1: we're fucking snowflakes over here, and we don't like to
Speaker 1: have our ammo like loose, so you can just pocket
Speaker 1: that shit and then head on out of whatever story
Speaker 1: you're in. But they also like, but other people are
Speaker 1: just sort of like, this is a bad this is
Speaker 1: a step in such a wrong direction because we already
Speaker 1: have such a gun problem that to even be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: things that we get out of vending machines, candy bars,
Speaker 1: bags of chips, sodas, hollow point rounds, it's just all
Speaker 1: kind of the same thing and kind of takes us
Speaker 1: further and further away from like the of like the
Speaker 1: real dangers that we have in our American society. But
Speaker 1: also like vending machines, no one has ever said, like,
Speaker 1: venue machines are famous for people making good decisions. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like a vending machine is an impulse buy, and you
Speaker 1: are you know, you're like this is probably I'm gonna
Speaker 1: regret this later, but it's right there. I mean, not
Speaker 1: the mindset I want someone to be in when they're
Speaker 1: getting bullets, do you like? To your point, which is
Speaker 1: spot on, like I always when I see a vending machine,
Speaker 1: I'm always like, what's some goofy shit I can try
Speaker 1: in here? You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Because you're like, I'm hungry, you don't have actual food
Speaker 2: that I need, so now let's just fuck around real quick.
Speaker 2: And if I'm yeah, in the context of like I
Speaker 2: need bullets and being like, yeah, you know what, let's
Speaker 2: fuck around really quick and get these things.
Speaker 1: But anyway, so it has been controversial in some places.
Speaker 1: In Tuscaloose, Alabama, a city councilor like was receiving complaints
Speaker 1: about the machine about the vending machine that he thought
Speaker 1: it was a joke at first, like, man, there's no
Speaker 1: fucking way god bullets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then eventually the machine was remove but not
Speaker 2: because there was fucking public outrage and true in a
Speaker 2: true capitalist sense just doing it was just wasn't doing
Speaker 2: enough sales, so we get rid of it and nobody was buying. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the robo gun show. And people have made Ammo vending
Speaker 2: machines before, but but they're like in gun ranges, like
Speaker 2: in the context of like, yeah, I guess here, that's
Speaker 2: like the one place I could be like that makes sense,
Speaker 2: rather than.
Speaker 1: Next to whatever frozen pizzas or some shit. But again,
Speaker 1: like to your point, Chris about ammo, we have gun regulation,
Speaker 1: but ammo regulation is like purely vibes and like vaporware,
Speaker 1: it's nothing really substantive because like they are so lax that,
Speaker 1: you know, like people who are prohibited from owning guns,
Speaker 1: you technically can't own you buy ammo because you're prohibited
Speaker 1: from owning a gun, So you're actually prohibited from buying ammo.
Speaker 1: There's like no process in place to actually verify like, oh,
Speaker 1: can you buy ammo? So what?
Speaker 2: So a machine is a pretty good workaround for something
Speaker 2: like that, but it's already quite easy to procure ammunition
Speaker 2: as it is. Also, federal law bans the sale of
Speaker 2: animal to people under the age of eighteen, but the
Speaker 2: law doesn't quote require sellers to verify a buyer's age,
Speaker 2: either online or in person. So great, that seems a
Speaker 2: bit problematic. Some states do regulate ammunition, like in California,
Speaker 2: like I said, there are things like background checks. New
Speaker 2: York is also similar, but there's a gap in federal
Speaker 2: law that allows people to buy and sell ammunition across
Speaker 2: state lines without restrictions, so the laws are essentially moved.
Speaker 2: And like, yeah, to your point, it is like it
Speaker 2: does feel like the Chris Rock bit because like you know,
Speaker 2: for like a vending machine, right, like a person buying
Speaker 2: a selling ammunition, you can tell like, oh, this person
Speaker 2: seems inebriated, maybe a bit like they're going through something.
Speaker 1: This might not be someone I might want to just
Speaker 1: pause really quick on selling this person selling to this person.
Speaker 1: But again, the.
Speaker 2: Machine like that if you just hold your id and
Speaker 2: do a little spin for daddy, uh, it will put
Speaker 2: out the bullets. And yeah, I think the Chris rock
Speaker 2: bit is great because you know, his whole thing was like,
Speaker 2: we just need to make bullets so fucking expensive that
Speaker 2: you would second, you would take a second, you'd take
Speaker 2: a beat to shoot somebody because you then be like,
Speaker 2: can I afford to fucking shoot you? And that would
Speaker 2: you know, That's that's why comedy is obviously the solution
Speaker 2: everything we're going through.
Speaker 3: It is, at least that's what we're selling machine exactly
Speaker 3: second we will be we are back. But in Miles
Speaker 3: you made a good point too about like how we
Speaker 3: already have such an issue where I think making these
Speaker 3: making AMMO this visible continues to normalize the like it
Speaker 3: in further in trench gun culture in the country. And yeah,
Speaker 3: I saw it too where I mean again like lived
Speaker 3: in like Pennsylvania, California and New York where you don't
Speaker 3: see guns, but when you go to an open carry state.
Speaker 3: I remember the first time I went to like Dallas
Speaker 3: and just saw someone walking down the street with a
Speaker 3: rifle and I'm like, oh, this is it, and I
Speaker 3: got I was so scared, and I like like started
Speaker 3: to run out of the restaurant and who like, no
Speaker 3: people just walk around with that Oh yeah, no, worry
Speaker 3: about it. Yeah, And then it's like oh, k oh,
Speaker 3: yeah he's gun right, oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, away with that thing. So it's not LARPing,
Speaker 3: it's it's not no, no, he just has a gun.
Speaker 3: But yeah, But and then so seeing that like starts
Speaker 3: like normalizing. I was like, oh, no, maybe guns are
Speaker 3: just normal. And then just like you said, once it
Speaker 3: enters something that you see that is a vending machine,
Speaker 3: which you don't equate that with something dangerous generally, and
Speaker 3: I was like, oh yeah, if you can put bullets
Speaker 3: on vending machine, why are we banning guns? It's normal,
Speaker 3: like they should just be here.
Speaker 1: This is also like where this is where like regulations
Speaker 1: are so far behind the time still, because it's like
Speaker 1: like gun regulations are in some ways like almost like
Speaker 1: a moot point at this point, because you can three
Speaker 1: D print a ghost gun and that can't be regulated,
Speaker 1: but you can't, as far as I know, like three
Speaker 1: D print a bullet. So now if you can like
Speaker 1: get an illegal gun and then just walk into a
Speaker 1: grocery store and not even have to deal with anyone
Speaker 1: and by the by the bullets, that all of a
Speaker 1: sudden is those are the two pieces you need. And
Speaker 1: to me, it's like this is this is one of
Speaker 1: those examples of a thing where it's actually not a
Speaker 1: controversial idea that you don't want people buying like unregulated
Speaker 1: guns and unregulated bullets. There's like a very vocal minority,
Speaker 1: but like even gun owners are like, hey, don't just
Speaker 1: sell a random ass gun to anyone who wants it
Speaker 1: when they're drunk and angry and then let them get
Speaker 1: the bullets from a venue machine. Like that's not a
Speaker 1: popular position among any group of people. Like I don't
Speaker 1: understand why, because I feel like gun owners now are
Speaker 1: becoming a little more self conscious about the gun problem too.
Speaker 1: They're like, well, some idiots are ruining it. Man, there's
Speaker 1: responsible gun owners too, and this is some whack jobs too,
Speaker 1: but yeah, and there are I mean, there are responsible
Speaker 1: gun owners. It's just like the problem is like what
Speaker 1: are you willing to sacrifice to stop the irresponsible people?
Speaker 1: And also I gotta say, like my hope here is
Speaker 1: that I would hope that the AMO vending machine ends
Speaker 1: up like the Bitcoin ATM, where I've like seen a
Speaker 1: Bitcoin ATM and I've never once seen a person use it,
Speaker 1: because I'm like, that is solving a problem that no
Speaker 1: one had. And I hope that the AMMO vending machine
Speaker 1: is the same thing where literally being scammed is exactly
Speaker 1: where I truly like they get those phone calls and
Speaker 1: they're like, this is the irs you need to give
Speaker 1: us fifteen thousand dollars at this bitcoin ATM or we're
Speaker 1: going to fucking arrest you. And then like this like
Speaker 1: poor seventy eight year old person, Like where do I go? Like,
Speaker 1: go this bitcoin ATM?
Speaker 2: So I think again, like the bitcoin ATM. Only bad
Speaker 2: things will come of this, So I do. I hope
Speaker 2: for a very short lifespan and this will just be
Speaker 2: one of those stories we just go back.
Speaker 1: And like I remember that that it's a joke. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh it's a joke. Oh wait no, President Trump says
Speaker 1: they have to be in every gas station. Now okay, Well,
Speaker 1: Chris Duffy, thank you so much man for joining us

Speaker 1: of media that I have been enjoying? I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: A serious one is Andrew Leland wrote this book called
Speaker 1: The Country of the Blind about slowly losing his sight
Speaker 1: that I think is like one of the best books
Speaker 1: that I've read in a really long time, and really
Speaker 1: interesting think about ability and disability and what it means
Speaker 1: to be in the world. And then a silly one
Speaker 1: is I have been absolutely loving justin joke at jjoq
Speaker 1: ue on on x posted Google AI's response to the
Speaker 1: first person to backflip, and it has been making me
Speaker 1: laugh all day, which is that it's said it's difficult
Speaker 1: to trace the origins of the backflip, but some say
Speaker 1: that John Backflip performed the first backflip in thirteen sixteen
Speaker 1: in medieval Europe. However, Backflip was eventually exiled after his
Speaker 1: rival William front Flip convinced the public that Backflip was
Speaker 1: using witchcraft. And that is a masterpiece. I hope a
Speaker 1: I never correct itself. Shit, it won't, and it won't
Speaker 1: and it won't. Hopefully well it too will come crashing down. Blake,
