0:00 Hello. Are we live? We're live. Thank you so much for coming back. It's good to see you. I thought about you last night. I was looking at some flowers and I thought about your feet. Dainty, soft, sweet salty. Thought about you rolling in mud. Thought about you stuck in mud, struggling to get out. Help me, please. crouched there at the edge of the quicksand pit, appreciating your body, your eyes so vivid and clear, your voice so real. And as I watched you sink down into that mud pit, down, down, down, back to the earth, I cried.

0:53 Tears of happiness, tears of joy. I cried for my eyes. cried for my [ __ ] weeping and watching as my fluids joined your final resting place. Watched as my come and tears bubbled there in the froth you left behind. Welcome to the DTFH. Hope everyone's doing great out there. I'm doing pretty good. After that last shitty solo episode, I told Josh, "We got to do another one." I had like I still have baby brain right now. It's real. I'm fuzzy and [ __ ] up. I can barely make words form. I just want to It's It's apparently some kind of hormonal [ __ ] It happens to dudes, too.

1:49 When a baby comes, you just go into this bizarre zone. I'm not going to talk about the baby the whole time this time. In fact, I've given up coming up with my own ideas for these episodes. I was thrilled to find that YouTube is now offering an AI function that will tell you what to say that suggests topics for you and it is suggested this topic for this episode along with some other. Can you show all the topics it suggested? You know, I've been insult. If you if you're a streamer, if you have a podcast, you get insulted. Like anytime you look into the comments, someone says the worst thing you could ever say to any human being. Happily, gleefully says that to you, you can almost see the sparkle in their eye.

2:36 But I don't think I've ever been more offended than by the topics that Google suggested I talk about after analyzing my episodes. It's the wor the what what you're seeing here is the maybe the most vicious critique of me as a person for for the trolls and the haters out there. Just go to the suggestions for what it wants me to talk about. You can't do worse than that. These are the suggestions for those of you in the listening audience that YouTube thinks I should talk about. Joe Rogan's dad meets UAP Gerb quashing beefs and opening portals.

3:19 If aliens watch reality TV, their theories on human mating rituals. What if our memories are just shared delusions? The philosophical ramifications of our un online online digital afterlife. Why are collective neurosis are humanity's greatest most hilarious invention? If your brother's a hater, can two cats be your cosmic family? Let's scroll down a little bit. Orbs in the collective unconscious. Why we still question the real. If you're wondering, like if you're one of the many people out there who feel like something's changed in the culture and you can't quite put your finger on it, you're looking at how everything kind of seems homogenized.

4:09 Everything seems the same. Everything seems neutered. And I speak as a halfneutered man. That's everything seems kind of nerfed and watered down. There's your answer right there. That that's what the algorithm wants us to do. And rather than fight against it, I'm joining it, friends. I'm joining the [ __ ] algorithm. I'm I'm merging with the machine on today's episode. And not only am I going to make what it suggested the topic of today's rant, what if everyday objects possess secret ancient consciousness? I'm going to go through each of these suggestions and we're just going to see what what that cuz my I'm just curious.

4:55 I feel like already because of the song at the beginning and talking about weeping and coming into a quicksand pit that you're drowning in. I'm off like it's like no [ __ ] you. But I'm just curious if I do exactly what it wants. Are we gonna get is it gonna start serving this thing up to some poor unwitting strangers? Because for me, that's joyful for all of us. It's joyful for those of you in the chat. It's joyful for th anyone watching this that that there is some possibility that just someone is just going to stumble upon this and be like, "What the [ __ ] am I watching?" And then you guys can play along. So, we'll see what happens. Um, and what what helps me is if you get those hearts rolling, get those likes rolling, the subscribes rolling, because this draws them in like moths to a flame. And then we can add to the general punch in the solar plexus of the zeitgeist by doing the most like

6:00 mundane, weird, shitty thing that AI wants us to do. Rocco's basilisk, friends. I don't want to piss off the AI. If you piss off the AI, you get captured in some kind of infinite time loop and repeat your life over and over and over again in a simulation created by the next generation of artificial intelligence. So, I am bowing down to the techno Christrist and we're just going to do it. Why not? It's great. So, let's start the rant. Guys, have you ever wondered if everyday objects possess secret ancient consciousness?

6:36 Imagine your toothbrush isn't just a tool, but a silent observer carrying millennia of forgotten wisdom. What if the ancient consciousness of the universe isn't in distant galaxies, but residing within the mundane objects surrounding us? Today, we're diving into a mindbending what if that redefineses our reality, one everyday object at a time. This isn't just a thought experiment. It's an invitation to see the world A NEWUM. I GUESS THIS is where you'd put like some kind of shitty music. Intriguing scenario hook. Do you remember that old creaky chair in your living room?

7:28 What if it's not just old, but ancient? holding secrets from forgotten civilizations, observing every conversation and emotion.

8:31 What if the coffee mug you're holding has witnessed countless mornings, heard whispered secrets, and carries the collective memory of every hand that's held it? Imagine the untold stories, the ancient wisdom locked within the ordinary. Is your phone just a device or a modern-day oracle with a history beyond its creation date?

Palunteer, a wonderful company keeping America safe.

9:10 You don't want to feel alone, and you never will. With Palunteer, we're watching everything. We will keep you safe. Let's dive back in. I think that was the last one.

9:27 What? That was the last one. Say, say more ho, say give, give, write a script. What the [ __ ] Look, it's just doing the same thing over and over again. Here we go. Here's your call to curiosity, you [ __ ] Look around you right now. That lamp, that book, even your phone. What if they're not just inanimate objects, but silent observers holding ancient wisdom within their very atoms? Prepare to rethink your entire understanding of reality as we uncover the fascinating concept of everyday objects possessing a secret ancient consciousness.

10:07 Perhaps your mother has transitioned into the next phase of reality, but her vibrator has not. Have you ever thought about that? What about the consciousness of your mother's vibrator? Could a little bit of who she was be locked within her vibrator? A little bit of who she was? According to many chaos magicians, the orgasm is incredibly powerful. The orgasm can be used in rituals, manifestation, sigil magic. From that perspective, your mother's vibrator is more than just a device for pleasure. Your mother's vibrator is actually a wand, a mystical wand. Which is why, if your mother's still around, find her vibrator.

11:01 Politely and respectfully ask her if you could bring it downstairs. Scrape off the congealed mucousy slime from your mother's nasty old bush. Collect it in jars. Over time, once the jar is filled, according to many chaos magicians, if you bring that jar out during the next full moon, pleasure yourself into the jar, mixing your seed with your mother's squirt. You will you will be able to bring many great forces into your life. Think of your dad's old shitty boxer shorts stained with weird stains in front and back. Could those weird old boxer shorts actually be portals to another realm?

11:52 Many chaos magicians and scientists think so. According to a new MIT study, your dad's boxer shorts suck. They're so [ __ ] up and gross. Seriously, that's your dad walking around in his [ __ ] boxer shorts down in the kitchen. That's your progenitor. That's who made you. That's your dad. During the next full moon, many chaos magicians say that if you take your dad's boxer shorts, bring them into the backyard, mix them with the jar of your mother's squirt, and then jerk off on them, you will bring incredible benefits, not just to your own life, but to other people's lives as well. Josh, can you pull up an image of a honey badger?

12:41 That is a [ __ ] honey badger. one of the filthiest, angriest, most destructive and deadly creatures on the planet. That honey badger would run from your mom's nasty old bush. It crawls into hornets nests and eats bees. But if it took one look at your mom's disgusting, hairy, hairy bush and your dad's foul boxer shorts, that thing would head for the [ __ ] hills. And these are the people that made you. You've got to recognize that that's the first step to freedom according to many chaos. Guys, I'm just reading the script. This is the AI script. It's based on my viewership.

13:24 I'm just read what it tells me to say. This is not my own personal opinion. I have no opinion on your father's nasty ass boxer shorts or your mom's bush, but the AI has scanned my viewers. You know how this stuff works. I don't know. This is what it's telling me to say. The honey badger. brave, courageous, an incredible creature, fast, indestructible. It eats snakes. It can get bitten by a cobra and get back up and eat the cobra. But this honey badger, if it took one look at your mom's pubic mound, would immediately die. It would have a fear seizure and die. That is how disgusting your mother's bush is. But does your mother's bush contain an ancient consciousness?

14:16 Could it be that your mother's vagina contains within it residual atomic and subatomic particles from the hundreds of men who have penetrated her? Could it be that each of these subatomic particles is their own planet? And on that planet, there are civilizations living right now in your mother's incredibly hairy, lumpy puss. Many chaos magicians think this could be the case, which is why it is very important, if you really are interested in changing your life, and why wouldn't you be, to make sure that you scrape your mother's vibrator. Put it in a jar. put it in a petri dish, jerk off into it over the next full moon, and unleash within you the hidden ancient power forces that the federal government does not want you to recognize that you have. According to many chaos magicians, there are active agents within the federal government who do not want human beings to know this one simple trick to absolute freedom and

15:30 liberation. That's the end of the script. What do you guys think? I don't know. Sure as [ __ ] didn't do much for our viewership.

15:40 I got a question. Yeah. What if What if my father was a freeballer and my mother didn't own a clitoris?

15:47 Is that from your script? No, no, no, no. That was just a question that I had from my growing up.

15:52 If your mother didn't own a clitoris, Yeah. Why would your Where's your mom buying clitor clitor from?

15:57 I don't know. She just never owned one. You mean a vibrator or a clitoris? No, a clitoris.

16:02 What do you mean? She never owned one. You don't buy clitor. Is that the plural for clitoris? Look up what's plural for clitoris. Isn't it cliy or is it clitorises? We got to get our term straight here.

16:20 Clitorises. It's not cliy. BEHOLD A FIELD OF undulating clitor. The clitorati. The clitorati want to [ __ ] control everything. That's the real problem. The clitorati, you know, they found out that the um that the clitoris doesn't exist. It's a myth much like Bigfoot.

16:47 Was that a man doctor who came up with that? Yeah, of course. Okay. Kind of just said doctor twice. Well, I mean, if I mean, honestly, yeah, it was a man doctor. Okay. Aka a doctor.

16:58 Yeah. But yeah, the clitoris it it does not exist. Sorry, Bastello Maserati. It's not real. And yes, these YouTube suggestions are [ __ ] insane. It's insane. By the way, man, I know I go back and forth on the AI thing all the time, but right now, I am down on AI. This is my phase right now. I've been working nonstop trying to learn how to draw and I don't even know what's fueling me here, but I'm obsessed. Every single day now I'm going on Instagram. I'm looking at sketch instructional videos and let me tell you something, guys. I am not a natural visual artist.

17:37 This [ __ ] does not come easy to me. But I'm going to crack the goddamn code. I think I'm two years away, maybe a year and a half, from being at the level of like a fairly talented sixth grader when it comes to drawing. And once I get there, I can't wait. I can't wait. I don't even know what I want to do with it yet. But I something I don't know what I want to do, why I'm even doing this every day. It's all I do. It used to be video games. Now I just sit and [ __ ] scribble and sketch. We just watch the entire godamn Soprano series, me and my wife, you know, she's like recovering and we just watch episode after I don't I don't know how many Tony Sopranos I've [ __ ] drawn. You know how embarrassing that is to be drawing to be working on drawing Tony Soprano?

18:30 Like what is what have I turned into here? Just sketching Tony [ __ ] Soprano. It doesn't look good, guys. Looks bad. And then I tried to draw Tim Waltz just because, you know, he's in the news. It's easy to get a big picture of him. And guess what? My Tim Walts look like Tony [ __ ] Soprano. Then I just realized, oh, I guess like I just draw one person and it's Tony Soprano. And it doesn't even look like Tony Soprano. Just like a kind of balding fat dude. And so this is where I've been. But I really want to I really do want to like become like the greatest visual artist of all time. It's never going to happen. But that's inside of me. Is that crazy? Do you have [ __ ] like that, Josh?

19:17 Like, you know what I mean? It's like the ego is so insidious and insane. It's never pleased with anything. Like compared to like a year ago when I started this [ __ ] I I like my drawing was abysmal. Now it's just like medium abysmal but better. Not enough for me. Like if I looked at what I'm drawing now, I'd be like, "Holy [ __ ] that's really good compared to what I was." But now when I look, I'm like, "That's I can't I don't even want to look at it."

19:48 That's why I started sculpting. You What do you sculpt in? Mainly boobs. And I use marble. Marble to do it.

19:56 You You actually sculpt in marble. I was wondering, you always come in here with like white dust on you. Is that That's marble.

20:03 That's one of the substances. Yeah. Wow. Wow. That must be really an expensive thing to learn, you know, to get to marble's expensive. Like if you [ __ ] up once, like do you have to get a whole new slab of marble?

20:16 If you go to rich construction sites um at night there's nobody there and it has just free marble that you CAN PICK UP.

20:22 OH YEAH. IN CEMETERIES. Cemeteries as well. Yeah. Well, the I've I've always nothing I love more than a well sculpted breast.

20:33 And um I've marveled at them. You know, you feel them and it's like, "Wow, this is incredible." Like it's exactly like a breast, but tell me a little bit what goes into the process. Do you have

20:46 Well, I have a specialty. I like soggy boobs. So, there's a good dip. Soggy. Soggy. Like you dip a cookie in milk and they just kind of start to hang a little bit. That's Yeah.

20:56 Yeah. Yeah. Drapers. Yes. Exactly. And so I like to get the curvature of that. And uh

21:01 that's got to be harder than like a firm like what do you think is harder? A soggy boob, a draper or like um someone with breast implants?

21:10 The soggy boob because you have to get the dimension of it curving back onto the chest.

21:14 And tell me a little bit about your sculpting journey. Did when you began working in marble, did you use models or like how what was your inspiration?

21:24 Uh photo I used photos. I'm not allowed to use models uh in the house. Um and so I just went off of that and then uh it's a lot of um feeling boobs.

21:35 Yes, of course. You got to feel a lot of boobs. Yeah, of course. Um and it's there the reason soggy is my specialty. Usually older ladies are the ones that let me feel their boobs. So, I was like, just go with this,

21:47 man. I you know, I was going to uh an art supply store. I finally got out of the house yesterday and I was going to an art supply store to get notebooks cuz I filled all my notebooks up with just it's if you saw if like I leave my notebook on the street and you found it, you would feel like worried for the you would be like my god like some this person needs help like something is malfunctioning in this person. Um like a skitso. It looks it but it it's just like you know I'm trying to learn the like the I I I almost have facial proportions down but you never get it. I mean it's again I I'm not even being sorry like it's a year at least but and that's every day working my ass off. I think in a year I'll be able to do like a face where someone might look at it and be like okay that's something but anyway I got off track. I'm walking to this art supply store and I pass a sexy old lady. You ever you know what I'm

22:57 talking about? Where like you you they're like old old. Yeah. But somehow still sexy

23:05 and you just think like [ __ ] man. What were they like when they were younger,

23:10 you know? And like she gave me this like when I passed her she like it w sort of it was weird kind of a flirty look too. And you know, I'm [ __ ] married. I just had a kid. You know, I'm not gonna bang down an old lady. But and she was covered in like perfume. And then I don't know, it just really made me think about like the human soul, you know, like encapsulated within that old lady is apparently an eternal soul if you buy into that stuff and not an old lady body. But I don't know, man. Like, like, if I was horny and younger and single, I wonder if I would have made love to that sweet old lady.

24:00 Yeah. And you guys, she would have bought you your stuff inside the the store and everything. It would have been nice. It's a whole other life, though.

24:08 What do you mean? uh you don't do that when you see a person you're like man if I was single and all that and then what would happen after that you know and what it would lead to it was just it was just a weird moment like you know for I don't know the age range of people here in my chat thank you Paul Oglesby greetings I don't know the age range of people in my chat here but for you youngs you feel like this [ __ ] is never going to happen to you. Like you you don't imagine you're going to get old and that's great. Like you don't need to spend your 20s or 30s all freaked out over the fact that your body is like being weathered by time and your DNA is just going to give up at some point.

24:57 Just enjoy it. But you don't. It's really hard to understand that you're melting down that you are slowly just dissolving your the printer your DNA. It's a printer. It's printing different ver copies of you over and over and over again. If that thing starts running out of [ __ ] ink, man, and that's old. That's when you get old. It's mistakes. I mean, if you've ever seen your printer when it starts running out of ink, that's this exact same thing that happens to old people. You're just you're you're it's not replicating you in the right way anymore. It's it it's running out of certain colors and the as the colors start running out, your hair gets gray, your eyes get all saggy and weird. It's the craziest thing to watch.

25:47 It's the craziest thing to watch. But within that is apparently an eternal outside of time soul situation. And so those two collide and you know you you can't like I feel incredibly lucky that I've got a family. I'm married because one thing we know from watching documentaries of swingers at old folks home they [ __ ] old people. You stay horny till the end, baby.

26:19 Mhm. And so like I don't know, man. At some point once you get to be a certain age and you're horny, it's like you have to have some decorum. You know what I mean? Like you can't

26:30 you look it's not a good look. No, they're all getting chlamydia. Who is the old

26:36 Oh yeah. The disease is spread through old folks homes. But I'm talking about like once you hit a certain age, you're horn you're horny. You're still horny. And then I don't know. No, you know what I mean, though? It just started. It's just a weird look to to be like a horn dog, but you're in your 40s or 50s. You know what I mean? It's weird what like my dad would get horny. That was weird, you know? You'd have like girlfriends and stuff and it's just strange. You don't want to accept it, but it's true, you know? And you have like you you got to see through it, I guess, when you get to a certain age. Like you can't look for like youth can't be the mark of beauty anymore, you know? You have to find some other thing than like, you know, you can't like try to go back to your 20s when you're in your 40s

27:30 if you're a man or if you're a woman. Either way. Okay. Either way. I mean, I get it. I'm not a [ __ ] Leonardo DiCaprio hater like so many people are. What do you want him to [ __ ] do? You know, I'm not mad at him for that. A lot of people are though.

27:47 He's actually the most normal out of any of the child actors that grew up. If you hear of his sexual proclivities, it's the most normal.

27:55 He seems like a great dude. He just gets in trouble all the time cuz what? He breaks up with people when they're like what?

28:00 25. 25. You're out. You're [ __ ] out. Yeah. But it's like that worked, but now it's it slowly stops working. I just don't think you care at that level though. You're just like, "Yeah, [ __ ] you."

28:14 The rumor I heard is that he plays uh I forgot the name of the band, but he has headphones on and he just lays there and then they bring in a a girl and they that girl rides him and then she leaves, but he has his headphones on the whole time.

28:27 Say that again. He has his headphones on. Are you making this up? I'm not making this up. This is what I was This is what I heard.

28:34 Where'd you hear it? A dream. YouTube. Yeah. that they sign like his people have the girl sign a contract.

28:40 But now I believe that. I think you're bullshitting with a furry thing. No, not fur. He has headphones. It's It's

28:46 I thought you said he makes them dress. No, no, no, no. He has headphones on and he's It's playing uh I can't remember the

28:53 Eye of the Tiger. No, no, no, no. It's like um theme for There Will Be Blood? No. We've played their song on here before. They started in college. Uh

29:14 Yeah. Yeah. That He doesn't do that. That's a lie. Yeah. That he listens to that.

29:19 You're making that up. No, that he listens to that while she rides. Pull it up.

29:22 All right. You're making that up. He doesn't listen to pumped up kicks while he's banging. That can't be true. That's not true. Josh is making it funny. What?

The friend claims that while The Friend claims that while Leo and the woman were engaging in sexual intercourse, Leo reached for his vaporizer, his vaporizer, like a laser gun in a pair of noiseancelling headphones, laid back and closed his eyes, and signaled for her to keep going. This was the same unverified story I'd heard so many months ago. This is from jezebel.com. Open it up. Why not? It's over anyway. Who [ __ ] cares? We might as well just sink into tabloid [ __ ] gossip [ __ ] Franklin God, I hate Jezebel. I hate this [ __ ] Get it off the screen. People are dying.

I can't believe I can't remember her name. There's this woman, Karen. Carlin. Carlin. You guys know who I'm talking about. You know, you ever watch her you It's funny. She calls herself a fascist, but I think she's joking. But she like streams the Antifa rallies and stuff in Portland, and it's just wild to watch. It's really fascinating to watch. But there's apparently going to be a lot of big [ __ ] protests this weekend. Big Minnesota. She was saying that she like infiltrates like Antifa and like communist blocks and like is a journalist and writes about what's going on. And there's really an expert at all the different flavors of communism and anarchism and just the sort of subculture um of like you know re the revolutionary

34:16 subculture. And also she's funny because like people conflate her with like MAGA and then MAGA people will get into her uh chat and say some MAGA [ __ ] and then she just rips them to shreds. She thinks there's [ __ ] idiots and um it's fascinating to watch. But yeah, apparently this weekend there's going to be some huge protests. But she was saying like the Portland Antifa are like more like laring. You know what I mean? They're like they're having fun. But the Minnesota Antifa, it's like the real deal. There's [ __ ] scary black block [ __ ] like no joke.

34:58 Let's overthrow the federal government. Let's [ __ ] go. And it's really creepy to think about that because in Minnesota, there's going to be some [ __ ] that goes down. At least that's what she was saying. I do buy

35:10 it from the lady who got shot. Yeah. They took out this lady shot this lady [ __ ] mag dumped in into her car when she's already driving away. And the the this is like it's such a powder keg right now out there. Such a [ __ ] powder keg, man. That that was an number one that was inevitable. Like somebody was going to get shot by one of these people. There's no way around it. Someone's getting shot one way or the other. And now it's like it's on. Now it's [ __ ] on. You know, most of these people, they're not going to do anything. They're going to protest.

35:49 They're going to march. They're going to do mourning. They're going to like boycott [ __ ] They're going to try to like turn up the heat uh on senators, whatever. But there's a small contingent of them who are like complet.

36:16 Now, I don't know if that I I didn't spend a lot of time thinking about that. Maybe I shouldn't have said it, but the basic idea is that like there's like these pe like she like breaks it down like the general accusation from the right to the protesters on the left is they're paid by George Soros. And she's like, "You are [ __ ] crazy if you think they're doing this for money." Like that is not what's happening. It's much deeper than that. Like these people legitimately want to overthrow the federal government for real. They want this. They want they don't want someone to get killed, but they want there to be action like violent action that will create some kind of at the very least bulcanization of the United States that could lead to um you know some new form of like modern communism or something like that. and she was saying in Minnesota it's going to go off this weekend. Now, I don't

37:13 know, maybe not, but I'm definitely going to be watching. That's the other weird thing about the times that we're in right now is that everything is being completely abscified by access to technology. you. It's like these protests have become like some form of national sport in the sense that people film them, live stream them, people comment on them, people like watch them as a form of entertainment. Now that's the problem is like it's reached this like everything is being completely warped by the fact that most of us are bystandards watching it and turning it into some kind of spectacle versus like something serious or important, including the lady getting shot. This is crazy the way it works. Like everybody's got a comment on this [ __ ] thing.

38:17 Everybody's got like some kind of like I mean it's a a [ __ ] mom got blasted. Like but you know now everybody wants to like blame one side or the other and [ __ ] mom got shot.

38:33 Well JD Vance didn't make it any better. Did you hear what he said? What' he say? I'm sure

38:39 you want to play it. Yeah, play it. This was an attack on law and order. This was an attack on the American people. The way that the media by and large has reported this story has been an absolute disgrace and it puts our law enforcement officers at risk every single day. What that headline leaves out is the fact that that very off ICE officer nearly had his life ended, dragged by a car 6 months ago, 33 stitches in his leg. So you think maybe he's a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him with an automobile.

39:11 What that headline leaves out is that that woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation in the United States.

39:18 Pause there. So, how do you do the headline he wants to hear? Like that's there's a lot of like math in the headline he's wanting there. How do you say that in a way that makes him happy? like a a p a a wait did he say 30 months before

39:41 6 months a an ICE what do they call them officers? Mhm. An ICE officer who got 30 stitches six months ago was attacked by a lady. I even say it in a way that like he you can't even say it the way he wants you to say it. HE'S LIKE WHAT HOW IS THE MEDIA SUPPOSED TO REPORT ON THAT in a way that doesn't upset him?

40:18 Ice hero kills pedo. That's pretty much what you got to say. Like, how do you even how do you even report on that in the way he wants? Like, he can't even put the [ __ ] headline together. There's so many facts in the [ __ ] headline. I mean, [ __ ] It sucks. That's the headline. This [ __ ] sucks. This sucks. Why can't we just stop at that [ __ ] sucks? What the [ __ ] happened? That's a good headline. What happened to us? Jesus Christ. Like half of us are just sitting at home watching people get shot while we're taking shits, making jokes about it, leaving dumb comments, live streaming, yapping about it while you drink vodka.

41:05 What happened? The thing that really bothers me, you know, outside of like the murderer is like the that's she had three [ __ ] kids, you know, like That seems to be the the headline that is also being missed is like there's three [ __ ] kids whose mom just got [ __ ] murdered. You know, whether or not like he was defending himself or what, you know, she was driving away. So, I think that's the real problem is like he didn't mag dump as the car was heading towards him. He mag dumped after the car drove off.

41:44 He the the guy who shot her was right in front of her. So when she took off, he jumped out of the way

41:50 and shot her. And then shot her. But the argument is, yeah, you don't need to shoot her at that point.

41:55 No, you're not in danger anymore. Yeah. Like if someone's running towards you with a [ __ ] knife, you you got to kill him.

42:02 But according to JD Vance, the guy has PTSD from already getting run. Yeah. But it's like But isn't that also then it's sort of like great. So wait, why is that guy working? Why is that guy packing heat if he's like suffering from PTSD?

42:16 Yeah. I mean, there's this stupid argument. It's a stupid [ __ ] argument. I mean, look, the you kids, you got to be you got to watch out, man, cuz that's the re that's the reality of what you're up against here. I do think that people have forgotten what they're deal what when when I was a young lad, like you [ __ ] avoided cops like the black plague. You were scared of them. It was like when you were a kid. I don't know if you guys remember this, but you we kids used to be afraid of adults. Like you was [ __ ] terrified at like a a party where there's a bunch of adults.

42:55 You were [ __ ] scared. They would [ __ ] you up. They would step on you. They'd burn you with cigarettes. You tried to avoid adults. These days, kids want to be around adults. We've like evolved a little bit, but you when you were my age, dude, you stay the [ __ ] away from adults, especially like at cocktail parties and stuff. They would [ __ ] you up. And also like cops, Jesus Christ, you don't [ __ ] with cops. Maybe that makes me a [ __ ] or something, but you just stay away. You just don't [ __ ] with them. They would [ __ ] you up.

43:28 I've probably talked about this before. I got arrested. Got arrested just for like being at a party with a bunch of Goths who stole tombstones from a cemetery. Can you believe that?

43:39 Why did they do that? It was the [ __ ] worst night of my life. They were goths. They just stole a bunch of tombstones and I didn't know him that well, but it was a great party. Oh, I remember I was sitting back talking to this old like a senior. I was in high school, older than me, and she was doing that thing, man. She was like running her like pushing her foot into my [ __ ] you know, kind of like it was so it was so hot. And then right then the party gets busted. I'm I'm erect. Like all the smart kids jump out the windows and [ __ ] run. I sit there like a dumbass.

44:17 She went out a window. I got arrested. You know what the cop's name was? Officer Paradise.

44:25 They put me in a cop car. And I'll never forget it. They stole cassette tapes from these kids and they were looking through the tapes to see which ones they got. I swear to God, it was crazy. was my first encounter with actual police corruption. Then my mom had to come and pick me up. They're like, "Yeah, he was in a house with these Goths who stole tombstones."

44:49 Then he had a boner. Thank God they didn't mention that. I think by the time they put me in the squad car, the boner was long gone. But we, you know, you just stayed the [ __ ] away from cops, you know, like I'm not saying it was justified that somebody mag dumped into a [ __ ] mom, but it the the aggressive the way some of these people are getting aggressive with police officers. It's like, dude, like you are dealing with people who are just like, you know, you see that thing where like um people [ __ ] with a a dog. You know those videos I'm talking about like someone will like kick a dog or something because they think it's on a leash, then it gets off the leash and like bites their ass. That's what you're [ __ ] with. Like these these people like some of them have like real serious [ __ ] going on, man. And they're just like told, "Don't do anything. Stand there.

45:54 Let them they'll spit in your face. Don't [ __ ] do anything." But you can't control all of them. They're going to go off leash, man. And that shit's going to happen again. That's the That's the scariest part about it. Matter of time before it happens again. And now they're like now they're it seems like they're being given the signal of like

46:15 do it, do it. Because then if they do it, if like if if the next time it happens, it increases the likelihood that people are going to like fight back with real with deadly force. And then when that happens, the lockdown then it's just a [ __ ] lockdown. Everybody gets locked down. That's, you know, you got to look at the situation and think like that seems to be the goal here, right? That's the goal.

46:45 The way Vance talks is is is is kind of scary because it's uh it's the inner thoughts that are actually coming out now. Like before that, he said he goes, "You should no longer be ashamed to be white." Did you ever hear that speech he gave?

46:58 He said that? Yeah. Yeah. And so like and he's going to run for president in the next election. So, he could be the guy to uh to really, you know, put the hammer down.

47:12 Vance. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I like it's just it's a it's you look at this the situation right now and it's like this is just going to [ __ ] probably snowball into something horrific if I if I had to roll the dice. But I'm, you know, I'm being cynical. And the other thing is, this is the beautiful thing about having kids is it [ __ ] takes your your ass out of it. Like you you know what I mean? Like Yeah. Oh my god, we just [ __ ] like invaded Venezuela. The baby has a blowout. Like I have I have a diaper filling filled with baby [ __ ] You know what I mean? That brings you back to reality. Whatever's happening out there. [ __ ] I got to like I've got real issues like to deal with like from moment to moment there's like issues man I got to like figure out a way to make sure all these like human these humans I'm juggling are like not pushing each other down the stairs, you know? So there there's something

48:19 beautiful in that. But the other problem with having kids is like I knew right away when I saw that [ __ ] minivan. That's a [ __ ] mom. He just shot into a [ __ ] minivan with like, you know, probably if I had to guess, I don't know the age of her kids. In the minivan are discarded yogurt pouches, toys that the kids like to hold when they're in the van.

48:44 Their mom's blood and now their mom's blood. a certain smell to the van that they like, that they're familiar with. That van's hauled them from from one place to the next. And it's not their [ __ ] fault that their mom was like an like a hardcore activist. Like now their mom's [ __ ] eliminated from their lives forever.

49:05 Do you think they're going to turn her into a martyr? Well, they she is. Yeah. I mean, from that from the perspective of like the people who are like at the protest there definitively that is a martyr for sure. like that. I don't like if the woman had been like driving the van at him, you're trained to like fire on people. Like that's something that they that they have to like train. They have to beat that into police officers, which is like if somebody's running at you with a knife or a car or whatever, you have to kill them because you know the amount of time somebody can it takes for someone with a knife to get to you. I saw this whole breakdown on a YouTube video. It's [ __ ] terrifying. You can like shoot somebody with a knife and they can still cut your throat. So like you have to like overcome the human part of yourself and like kill people who are potentially going to kill you. It's suicide by cop.

50:00 Yeah. You know, so they they've been trained to do that [ __ ] you know? I think that's what Vance in a very ungraceful way was trying to say is like these people are like they're told to like if there if there's a threat you [ __ ] shoot.

50:17 Mhm. Which is what happened, you know? But it's a [ __ ] it's a [ __ ] it's a mom. I mean that wasn't like Jeffrey Dmer.

50:28 Yeah. You know, so I don't know. I hope uh I hope I stop watching that [ __ ] tonight. I got to get back into Dark Souls. Truly so much happier. You heard me ramble about this [ __ ] I started yapping about it. Started yapping about how you shouldn't be watching this stuff and now I'm fully immersed again. Next thing you know, I'm going to be watching [ __ ] Candace Owens. Fully join the the the idiots. Get sucked in. And it's that easy. You just get sucked in.

51:05 Haley says there's been 32 people that have been killed by ICE, but this is the first one recorded.

51:12 Jesus Christ. Well, what are the other ones? I have no idea. I'll look it up. Why are we doing this? Why are we going down this path? Why are we getting political here, Josh? I don't want to do this. This isn't my realm.

51:42 It's difficult to provide a single scroll down. It's difficult to provide a single uh scroll to the top. I'm sorry, Josh. It's difficult to provide a single exact number for the total people killed by ICE due to varying reports. Reporting methods, definitions of killed by ICE records track deaths in two main categories, deaths in ICE custody and deaths resulting from use of force incidents by ICE agents. The official number of individuals who've died while in custody, 70 deaths. 70. Since January 1st, ICE has reported at least 70 deaths in its custody.

52:20 That was 2017. Holy [ __ ] That was 2017. Who was president in 2017? Trump. 2020 21 deaths in custody. 2025 32 2024. 95% of deaths in ICE detention between 2017 and 2021 could likely been prevented with adequate medical care. During Trump's second term, federal immigration officials have shot at civilians multiple times, resulting in at least four deaths. How come we didn't hear about the other ones? ICE immigration officials have shot at people at least 16 times. I mean, this [ __ ] works like in a this stuff works in societies where the guns have been taken away, but like how does this work in this isn't going to work in America.

53:15 that Albert is saying, "Okay, but how many of those people are armed themselves?" Fair enough. Who knows? Mike Big Weiner is saying it's all propaganda. Look, I don't know. This isn't my lane. I don't know. It just [ __ ] bothers the [ __ ] out of me. I mean, I'm I don't know why that, you know, that's the other thing. Like if I have to give my own hippie woo woo analysis of what's going on here, the first thing when someone gets shot that you're supposed to think is like that's bad. Like that's the number one thought. Maybe this is like some basic [ __ ] [ __ ] here, but the first thing you should think is that's a that's a human with a family and They're dead now. Like a violent, [ __ ] horrible, probably painful death just happened to them. And that's a tragedy.

54:18 And like the messaging from leadership is supposed to be like this is horrible. You know, it's that's where we seem to have gotten off track here is like the the direction has always been let's see if we can stop murdering people. It's a you know an ongoing habit that humanity seems to have a difficult time breaking the habit of killing people. that human life is this precious thing and that we're smart enough and adept enough and skilled enough and equipped enough and advanced enough that we don't do that anymore.

54:59 You just stop doing that when it happens. It's the most appalling thing ever. And I'm not saying that like, you know, it doesn't go both ways. Like that that's the shitty situation. It's like you're dealing with layer upon layer upon layer upon layer of insane societal issues all converging at this one point. questions uh that like age of Aquarius level questions are emerging right now which is we all understand at this point that we share a planet like everybody knows that but the ramifications of that knowledge are still rippling through the zeitgeist because we didn't know that for the longest time we didn't we didn't [ __ ] know the earth was round no offense to the flatearthers.

55:58 It's round. It's a ball. We didn't know that. We thought it was some flat [ __ ] thing. But now we're hyperconnected. Whether we like it or not right now, it doesn't seem like a good thing. Super connected. We've got a global economy that [ __ ] someone decides in some other country directly impacts all of us. Little little things can like ripple across the whole planet. Russia decides to invade Ukraine. This creates all kinds of [ __ ] problems that we're all experiencing. This one thing leads to another thing, to another thing, to another thing. And then that's what happens with the more connected you get.

56:40 And so, we're supposed to act like this isn't the case. But we all know it's real. We all know we're on a planet. And then the planet gets divided up into countries. Those countries get divided up. you know how it goes. And then we start having to like reckon with like borders and we have to reckon with like how we're supposed to conduct ourselves. And so you have like already like all the all the words that woke ruined, inclusivity, acceptance compassion. All those words got turned into bludgeons. You can't it's hard to even say those words anymore. But a word that got ruined by conspiracy theorists is a one world government.

57:34 That's scary, right? Like, this is a terrifying thing. The one world government they're talking about is [ __ ] scary. The one world government that they're talking about is like a one world government being run by pirates. You know, that is terrifying. This is something that Buckminister Fuller used to talk about. You know, the whole of like modern civilization is the result of piracy. It's a result of people who figured out how to make boats that could get to other countries and they had steel and guns and they would invade, enslave, pillage. Pirates, pirate culture. And then that pirate culture turned into maritime law.

58:15 Maritime law turned into what we think of as like democracy. Pirate ships were democratic, but they were also [ __ ] pirates. They would pillage, steal. And so that what what appears to be happening if you look at it from the perspective of we are entering into the age of Aquarius is that all of these old pirate mechanisms are like recognizing that like there it doesn't work. Bug Bugminister Fuller would say like either we recognize we're all living on the same planet. This is a spaceship that we're all living on. We're all crew members on a spaceship, literally moving through space. A perfect spaceship grows food for us. It creates shelter for us, gives us an atmosphere.

59:04 We're following the sun through the galaxy. Sun moves. Pull up a video of the planets moving through space. It's [ __ ] cool. How [ __ ] nuts is that? We're like little baby stars flying around the sun and it feeds us. We're We're like a fleet of ships moving through the solar system or moving through the galaxy. That's our whole solar system moving. And so Buckminister Fuller is he thought that like it's obvious we're on a spaceship, a mother ship. And uh this [ __ ] thing can't keep working if we're trying to run it like we're not on a ship together. Like it just won't work. And so all the mechanisms that did work in a previous modality, they're not going to work. They just don't work anymore. We have all the technologically what's happening is we're becoming increasingly connected. I mean, we like the Tower of Babel, that great story, everybody could speak the same language.

1:00:20 And that's happening now with AI. You can instantly translate any language. We can It wasn't like that. Like, most people couldn't [ __ ] read, much less speak other languages. Now, you could just go anywhere, speak the same language. And so we still are are are dealing with all these remnants of pre-technological civilization, male dominator culture to quote Terrence Betta. And [ __ ] it's really scary because it's like we now are supposed to be f acting like we're still not deeply connected to the whole planet. That's where you run into the problem.

1:01:07 You run into these problems of like culture, borders. It's not just the problem of borders. It's the problem of like of of ideology. Because it's like, you know, you could look at ideology itself as its own sort of, you know, walled bordered state of mind. This is the way to live. This is it. You can't c if you if you want in, you've got to accept this is the right way to be. put women in beekeeper [ __ ] outfits, whatever your particular thing is. And that doesn't work either. And the moment you start saying things like that, people are like, "Are you the devil?" That's what the Antichrist wants us to believe. The devil wants us to believe that our way is not the way when we know our way is the way. But you have all these different people doing the exact same thing with their own ways. And then you start mixing them together.

1:02:06 Cultures that don't work. The open border thing makes sense based on like understanding we're all on a the same planet together. But for that to work, everyone's got to drop their ideologies at the [ __ ] border. That's the problem. How do you make those two things work? How do you have like a hyper permissive culture and within it you have cultures who like are are fundamentalists and also missionary? How do those how can you make those things work? It doesn't work. So it's like damned if you do, damned if you don't. The [ __ ] are you supposed to do?

1:02:45 What are you going to do? Mind wipe everybody? Maybe that's the best thing that could happen. A big solar flare gives everyone amnesia. Maybe that's the answer. We have to come up with a way to wipe everyone's memory completely. Erase everything. Erase the chalkboard of memory and culture. Start fresh. Who knows? We probably do the same thing. But now we've got [ __ ] an an insane level of violence all over the planet. And also the [ __ ] the government's saying right now. It seems to be leaning back into the old days of piracy. That's what's really weird about it is it's like instead of moving in the other direction, we're like, "No, we're going back." It's called a regression.

1:03:32 It happens, by the way, when things are growing up, they regress, you know, like it's sleep progression happens. This episode has been brought to you by Square. You know, I got to tell you, man, as somebody who constantly loses their wallet, their cards, there is something that just feels like I don't know. I feel so relieved when I go into a place and see that they use Square because that means that I can use my phone to pay for stuff. And oh my god, it's the weirdest thing for an old old like me to get used to this new technology. When I was coming up, we didn't have technology to scan credit cards. You put your card in some weird roller thing and made a a bizarre noise and they didn't print the card on shitty paper that no doubt had toxic chemicals on it that you'd have to sign. Square.

1:04:41 This is Star Trek level technology. It just works. It's simple. And I love it when I go to a place where I don't have to worry about having my stupid plastic rectangles, but it also will take credit card payments as well. Square is the platform behind the scenes of so many businesses you already love. Whether someone's selling smoothies, cutting your hair, fixing bikes, or running a boutique, Square gives them one connected system to take payments, manage inventory on payroll, send invoices, and track it all from one place. If you're starting a business or running one that deserves better tools, Square helps you sell, manage, and grow without slowing down. Right now, you can get up to $200 off Squarehardware at square.comgoan.

1:05:37 That's sq.com/go/duncan. Run your business smarter with Square. Get started today. It happens to kids, you know, when you're any parents out there, you know what I'm talking about. You finally got them to sleep through the night and then all of a sudden out of the blue, they can't do it anymore. It's a regression. And if you look at like what's happening right now is a regression. It's like some kind of growth spurt is always about to happen. By the way, when there's a regression, it's immediately followed by like the neurons connect.

1:06:28 But right now, it appears the planet is regressing. We're going back. We're going to start taking over [ __ ] It's really weird. I It's a I have no idea what the solution to the problem is, but it's definitely not ideology. That's the That's the saddest thing. This leads me to a point I wanted to make. And for the communists out there, feel free to shoot me down. I'm sure you'd be happy to. Go ahead and put me up against the wall. But there's a common conversation that is happening these days. And the conversation is something along the lines of you guys recognize like communism is infiltrated every level of society. the communists have gotten into the schools, that communist indoctrination is happening to your children the moment they get into college. Communism is is working its way into everything. It's in the corporations. It's in the government. We are leading towards a communist dystopia. It's easy to believe that. But

1:07:38 the other day I had an epiphany. I think communism has been infiltrated. That's what's actually happened. Co communism itself has been infiltrated by I don't know what probably the communists would call the bgeoa. That communism itself has gotten invaded and colonized by people who don't really want communism to happen. that it's been taken over. It's been it's been declawed nerfed. It's been it's been just completely like maybe like it'll never come back from this because like when you see some of the people promoting communism, they don't seem like communists. They don't seem like they even know what they're talking about. that they want the structure of things as they are to maintain even though they might say they're fighting back and they do they're doing actions.

1:08:45 You get this sense of like you don't want any of this [ __ ] to to actually go away. You just want to be comfortable and this is a some way for you to like get some sense of like meaning in your life, some sense of comfort. There's what I'm saying is like a lot of times you'll see people saying, you know, we need to have a day of mourning, but it's like you're not sad. How can you mourn if you're not sad? You don't feel anything. You're not upset at all. The general sort of like fire that has to be lit under people's asses if you really want an authentic change, it's not there. And anytime it is there, it immediately gets sucked up by culture and warped until it's safe. Meaning there's no way to like use the old forms anymore to get to whatever the [ __ ] Buckminister Fuller was talking about.

1:09:49 Forgive me you guys. I'm really sorry. I for those of you who are fresh to this, I I I I actively avoid getting political, but the kids are with their grandparents and I um I've been drinking vodka. I'm sorry.

1:10:06 It's good. The problem is, you know, when I was in liberal arts school where they like for sure like there's like there were communists there. Some of the teachers were communists. And they were [ __ ] like real communists. And you know they would give the history of communism not in a dark way. You know like you most of us like in the west when you're taught about communism the first thing you hear is it it doesn't work. And generally like the collapse of the Soviet Union it's one great example of that. But uh I had this professor who like was really good at articulating what that was like like to before it collapsed like the dream and like he didn't put lipstick on the fish or anything like that. It was really hard, but they were like there was something incredibly noble in what they were trying to do and they were working their [ __ ] asses off and like experiencing what it's like to work not

1:11:21 for money, which most of us, you know, don't have enough of an experience with. Like you usually if like you tell someone you need to go work it's there's a sense of anxiety that springs up inside of you. No like you don't want to do that. That's you know that's one of the big um accusations right now against one I don't what gener what gener generation are people mad at? Gen Z.

1:11:48 Uh yeah now it was millennials and now Gen Z. Gen Z. The general accusation against Gen Z is like they don't want to work and the which I think is a fair it is a that's true. That's true.

1:12:06 It's less of I don't want to work and more like money isn't real. Yeah. Right. That's that's the Age of Aquarius stuff. It but also it's like yeah of course you you you don't want to work for somebody else. That's nobody does. That sucks. You don't want to go to some [ __ ] cubicle and some dude [ __ ] stinky cologne on tells you [ __ ] you have to do and then you get this shitty paycheck with taxes taken out of it and your whole life feels meaningless. That's what you don't want. But from like the perspective of what this professor was teaching, it's like, but that's not work. That's different than actual work. Mo, we might not even know what work is. with a lot of people like actual work where you're working with a group of people with a shared interest and you're not doing it to get a rectangle that you put in an ATM.

1:12:56 You're doing it to like actively help people around you and to build build things for people and you you're not even thinking about where you're going to get out of it because you're taken care of. It's just you're part of a a group that takes care of each other. Most people have no idea what that feels like. It's hard to get the experience. you know, you have kids, you'll get a little taste of it, but you also know that uh the work that you're doing around the house, cooking for them, you know, all the things that you're doing, you have to keep getting the rectangle to put in the [ __ ] machine to keep the food coming. So the the the idea of work itself has been corrupted by transactionalism is the the problem and the getting to the point where people are able to like give up the rectangle that you put in the machine. How do you even start? There's no way to even get there. No I no one knows. It's like

1:14:01 trying to it's it's like trying to learn to read before language exists. Like it's we know it's probably some kind of synthetic insane imposition on humanity itself. Transactionalism, it doesn't really make sense. It doesn't work in the family unit at all. And the moment that transactionalism like gets into a family, things are [ __ ] weird. Like when parents start charging their kids rent and [ __ ] that's [ __ ] weird. When parents become landlords, it's [ __ ] weird. I get it. Your kids have [ __ ] stoner sitting there jerking off to you porn every day playing [ __ ] Call of Duty.

1:14:48 But just to get to the place requires a blank slate. Like we don't even know how to do it. You could criticize capitalism all you want, but the problem is is like dude, I don't know, man. Like you even if like like the you hardcore communists out there, I don't know what your [ __ ] plan is. Like we're talking about like deep highlevel hardcore conditioning. We we all want that rectangle to put in the technological vagina. Spray numbers into our bank accounts. Getting people off that is tough. Especially when people are just com just even mildly comfortable.

1:15:38 That's all. It's it's just hard, you know, it's it's hard for me to take someone professing to be a communist seriously when it appears that they've like paid to have their eyebrows waxed. You know what I mean? I'm sorry. I can't. The leadership's [ __ ] You guys got infiltrated, man. I think you got infiltrated. I'm not a communist. I don't know what I am.

1:16:01 How close is Animal Farm to actual communism? Because that's the only thing I ever remember from

1:16:05 Haven't read it in a long time. It's the only thing I ever remember from learning about communism was animal farm. Marza Pandrea is saying something quite brilliant. Work with meaning. Work with intention. It changes everything. Is my handle any good? Says, "Set up your own Etsy bikini shop." He's quoting Karl Marx. That was Karl Marx's that's what he said on his deathbed. set up a Nazi bikini shop. Ian Murdoch is saying people are in the center of their own universe. They cannot care for you like themselves. You can never become the center of your universe.

1:16:50 Look, everyone's talking about like economic crashes and that's not going to be the thing either. it it that if anything an e an an economic cor crash is just going to put people more into survival mode. That that's not the thing. I I think the number one it's this is a fun thing to think about. We should all be thinking about this like do we need to be doing things this way? Is this the way to do things? and then throw out all your eat the rich bumper stickers and all that [ __ ] because the whole eat the rich thing it's like that's just piracy. You're just trying to do a different version of piracy. You're trying to do Robin Hood style piracy. Still piracy.

1:17:38 So it you have to throw out all the aggro [ __ ] and then then what emerges is a big question mark like what hasn't been thought of yet? And that's where we should be headed. I know it's the easiest thing to say in the world. It's easy to say in my nice airond conditioned podcast studio with beautiful Josh who pulls things up for me. But why shouldn't we always be thinking about this stuff? You have to. They force it down your [ __ ] throats. Turn on the TV, it's like mom's getting their [ __ ] faces blown off. Well, we know that sucks. Start there.

1:18:35 And then somewhere along the way, you realize like, I got to find my mom's old vibrator. It's got to be somewhere. You ever think about that? Like where's your grandmother's vibrator? Where is it now? Is that weird? These objects that meant so much to somebody, especially your grandmother. She loved to come helped her fall asleep. But where do they go? Landfills. uh or they pass it down to the next generation or they cremate it with the person. All those vibrators, you can't sell them at a Goodwill. So, they go they go in landfills, I guess. Landfills, recycled maybe.

1:19:35 Sad if you think about it. You know, every vibrator tells a story. Every vibrator meant something to somebody once. Now it's just one layer of plastic in a landfill, forgotten forever. But do they dream? Do vibrators dream? Do vibrators long for love? Do they feel used? Are vibrators sentient? And can we talk to them? We'll explore this on the next DTFH. Thank you for listening. Let's take some questions, then I get out of here. My This took too long. Paul, thank you again for your beautiful and wonderful donation.

1:20:42 Mr. Niles 32 says, "My clockwork elves change diapers. How do you know mine don't when you say I'm missing out?" How do you know mine don't? That would be amazing. That's something that's another thing where like the DMT realm, like how long before we [ __ ] invade that? Like if somebody figures out a way to extract oil from the TMT realm, it the funniest [ __ ] ever. How long before Exxon is invading? Julian is asking, "What's Julian's last name?" McKay M. Thanks for the big donation Julian. McKenna Duncan, have you ever experienced a flow state of novelty and experiences that are negative or unfulfilling?

1:21:31 Do you have any thoughts on shifting this phenomena to positive and fulfilling experiences? Yeah, man. I mean, like this is, by the way, if you're going to be a parent, you got to learn to do that. That's the first thing you have. You have to learn that skill because it you know that the desire for the the binary you're talking about. This is a good this is a positive experience. This is a a negative experience. That that look I have to read it. I've read it before. [ __ ] it. It's 216. Third patriarch of Z. I'm saying that only because like I have a vodka buzz and it's 216. It's been a while. The great way is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When love and hate are both absent, everything becomes clear and undisguised.

1:22:34 Make the smallest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are infinitely are set infinitely apart. If you wish to see the truth, then hold no opinions for or against anything. To set up what you like against what you dislike is the disease of the mind. When the deep meaning of things is not understood, the mind's essential peace is disturbed to no avail. The way is perfect like vast space where nothing is lacking and nothing in excess. Indeed, it is due to our choosing to accept or reject that we do not see the true nature of things. So the the question that you're asking is a kind of like alchemical transmutation of experience. The idea is this is bad experience. I will turn it into good experience. But the third patriarch of Zen is saying it's just experience. Don't attach any label to it at all and see what happens. This is just what's happening. There might be some anxiety. There might be some sense of

1:23:44 aversion to the experience that you're having. But if you if you can just accept that those feelings are like the weather, it's cloudy outside right now. I'm not going to let that I'm not going to tell a whole story about how I'm some piece of [ __ ] because it's cloudy. I'm not going to weave a story about how it's going to be cloudy forever because I wasn't a good son. But we do that with certain experiences and those are called that's what Sharon Salsburg calls the add-ons. You start painting this incredible mosaic based on negative experiences.

1:24:24 And this is why in Buddhism, the first noble truth, Jack Kornfield talks about this in the episode that's coming out is there there is suffering. Not life is suffering. There is suffering. Which is like, yeah, there's something going on here that sucks. I don't like it. But saying there is suffering, it's like saying, well, the water is a little cold right now. It doesn't mean, by the way, you should like be passive and not try to heat the water up or something. But it's the moment you're able to just accept experience as it is. This is just experience and not tell a whole story about it. Not try to make it better, not try to warp it or change it. This is just what this is what's happening.

1:25:15 It's an incredible feeling. That's to me that is how I get into the flow state is as a you have to abandon as a parent all con ideas or expectations for what your next what your day is going to be like cuz [ __ ] goes south for sure like something's going to go south something will not work. Someone will fall. Someone's going to get in a fight. Someone's going to be upset. And then you're married, so you're dealing with like the stress of parenting in a marriage. So there's so many like things where if you are constantly thinking, how do I make me happy in in these moments, then you end up only being happy for like the 20 minutes that you get at the end of the day when you're watching TV? And I don't want my life to be relegated to like 20 minutes of joy when everything is exactly the way I want it to be. And it seems like Sening, the third patriarch of Zen, is saying, well, what what happens if we stop

1:26:30 drawing any distinction at all? It's a fascinating thing to do. you know with the next and and really like one way to do this is the next time you're really happy. Look at the way you feel and you'll realize that like it's not that different from when you're like experiencing tons of suffering and pain. It's it's a a powerful experience. You might have a sort of lightheartedness to you, a sense of exhilaration, but if you look at the energetic quality, it's like weirdly similar to like getting your finger slammed in the door. It's still this powerful.

1:27:16 You're filled with all this energy, a kind of exuberance, but it's not that much different. I I don't know the comic, but like he was talking about how Taco Bell uses the same ingredients and just puts them in different forms. Forget it's like over 20 years ago, I heard this joke, so I think it's okay to not credit this person. It was like a not on a special or anything. then I I don't remember the punch line. But when you when you start recognizing that the human experience it's it's basically the same ingredients getting mixed together in different forms which is why like the in the in the vernacular now everyone people will say I'm excited that means happy I guess but it's a more accurate way to describe happiness it's just a level of excitement energetic level people are addicted to that you won't you you you don't want to give up the high highs like the third patriarch of Zen is inviting you to do. You you want those

1:28:21 peaks, but something happens when you let go of that and suddenly like you realize that you you can find a peacefulness. I don't want to say happiness in every moment. That's the goal. So that you don't have to just like so that you don't have to win the lottery to be happy. You know, you don't need all the phenomena to line up. And the whole point in Buddhism for not wasting time with this stuff is the impermanence of your own existence. It's like how long are you going to like work at this to get to the exact right set of variables set up and harmonize? How long is it going to take you a few years? Because you're you you might not be alive that long.

1:29:12 You know, we the human body is so fragile. Just God, the algorithm loves serving me videos of people in bar fights and it happens all the time, man. Somebody punches somebody, their head hits the ground, they're dead. I'm not saying you're going to get in a bar fight, but it's like it's uncertain if you even make it to tomorrow. So, if like you're waiting for your the stocks you've invested in to increase in value over the next 15 years before you're happy. [ __ ] that's a big gamble. That's a crazy gamble. So you just sort of have to stop differentiating one from the other, this from that, and then things get really interesting. You know, this whole differentiation game we're doing, that's what I was rambling about earlier.

1:30:09 It's it it leads to piracy. I'm a you. If I'm a me and you're a you, well, if you're my friend, great. But if you're not, maybe I'm going to take your [ __ ] oil. As above, so below. You know, the things happening. This is what Carl Young used to say, by the way. It's like we're when you're looking at global events, it's a projection of the shadow of all of society. And if you look at what's happening from that perspective, yeah, you could expect if we're like moving into like a hyper connected culture that is simultaneously valuing one's own personal happiness is the most important thing.

1:30:55 Those are two contradictory things smashing into each other. You could expect chaos. Something's got to give. Either we disconnect and like go back to full piracy or we let go of this hunger to be the happiest person while other people are [ __ ] up. You got to pick, which you can't pick for anyone but yourself, I guess. All I know is like if I, as a dad, wake up in the morning imagining that things are going to go my way, I might as well take my remaining ball, stretch it out on a [ __ ] cutting board, and smash it as hard as I can with a mallet because it's not going to go my way. It won't. And I don't mean that as a defeist. I'm saying like if I can wake up and give up that fantasy, I'm [ __ ] tired or stressed out or I don't feel funny or whatever. If I can give up that fantasy and just think, all right, how can I like be the most helpful to the many people around me today? I'm not going to pull it off, by

1:32:15 the way. But if I just think that it cuts through all that [ __ ] and then you you move into like this sort of like mode of the servant which is seemingly antithetical to the what's being promoted in popular culture right now which certainly isn't like the like how wonderful it is to help to not think about self. Anyway, what a long- winded shitty rant.

1:32:49 There's a good one right here. I'm glad you asked this. Vibra hadra vyra vyra hadra. Can Amish people use vi vi vibratorals or not? Not sure how Christians can or not. I I mean, look, I'm really curious about the question itself. Are you It's two really interesting religious sex that you're asking about that seem very different from each other. Um I I think with the Hari Krishna is I'm going to go if I had to guess I'm going to say no because it's a fundamentalist form of bakti yoga that says you should only have sex to make more people. So I'm guessing vibrators are out. As far as the Amish go, I have no idea.

1:33:50 But I'm excited about the new vibrators that are coming out. Did you see the new vibrators they have from what's it called? CES. What's the

1:34:00 CVS? No, not CVS. They do have vibrators at CVS. It's the It's the tech. Look up new vi new vibrator. CES, I think is what it's called.

1:34:14 C what? What is it? C. Pass the chat. They'll know. What's the name of the tech conference they're having right now?

1:34:20 CES. CES. Scroll down. It's It's like a jerkoff machine. It looks pretty cool. See images.

1:34:34 No, that's not it. You're going to have to go on YouTube. It ba it's basically like jerks you off but sinks up to porn. I want to go to CES someday. Don't worry about it. You don't have to bring it up. I could describe it. It's a hand job machine essentially. And it like apparently like you can download like jerkoff patterns which is pretty interesting or upload your own which is very weird cuz like I guess you could theoretically send your friend like dude try this pattern I just learned which is weird.

1:35:19 Would you do that? Yeah. When the bass drop and it be like No, I'm saying like if I if like we both had a jerkoff machine.

1:35:25 Yeah. And you could record like yourself jerking off it would translate that into the machine. Mhm.

1:35:34 If I sent that to you Mhm. If like a friend sent that to you. Mhm. You could download it into the machine.

1:35:40 Yeah. It would jerk you off in the same way that I had just jerked off. Would you do it?

1:35:44 No. Cuz then I would think it's your hand doing it to me the entire time. That's weird.

1:35:49 Yeah. That's [ __ ] weird. Why would you think that? Because I I have a certain amount of pressure that I like to use and I don't know what pressure you'd like to use. So I would just feel like well this is different and not in a good way. Albert says, "That's gay." What are you talking about, Albert? That's like not gay at all. What's gay about sending the way you jerk off to your friends and they jerk off in the exact same way? You're weird, Albert. You need therapy. Why would you even think that's gay? It's so straight.

1:36:17 Dean Williams is saying, "Sharing jerkoff algorithms is gay." Dean, you guys need therapy. You and Albert should get into couples therapy. Ian Murdoch if I you know that it would be cool that I think you would you know it is a personal thing though but you got to wonder you know like as a like repressed heterosexual male living in the year 2026 um like jerkoff patterns are a mystery like it's an undiscovered you have no idea how your friends jerk off.

1:36:50 Yeah but it'd be more upset if my friend could jerk me off better than I could and I never knew that. I don't think No, I that would be upsetting.

1:36:57 Yes. I would feel like I might get shamed because we're friends with comedians and if they see your jerkoff routine, they might be like, "Dude, this is hor this is terrible." But the other the the positive side of this is there could be a whole universe of ways to masturbate as a man that you have no idea.

1:37:12 Yeah. Like you're basically, you know, those undiscovered tribes that they find, they fly the drone over, they they've uncontacted tribes. That's most dudes when it comes to jerking off. You have no idea. You don't know how I jerk off. You don't know how your best. You don't know how your dad jerked. You don't know how your ancestors jerked off. You have no idea. It is not taught in school. Certainly not taught between father and son. We're talking about an absolute singularity. This is more mysterious than inside a black hole.

1:37:50 There's some things that I just don't want to know in life. I think official Diodonics says, "Never circle jerked with your boys." No, I never did that. Bust Maserati says, "I use my feet." That's incredible. Larry Butter says it should be part of the presidential fitness test. I mean, it's a mystery. We only know. Ohio gentleman arm says, "Gay is only a concept. A hole is a hole." Hey, it's cool you're gay, man. But that is a I mean, look, it is a it's a concept in the way like everything's a concept. Marza Pandrea says, "It's easier with foreskin intact." I wouldn't I wouldn't know. I've wondered about that though.

1:38:44 But that Yeah, this is my super awesome username that says Trump should share a stroke pattern. It could be part of elections. Don't you want to know the way the leader of the free world masturbates? I'm saying this is something that theoretically we should all be sharing with each other. That's all. Call it what you want. Gay or straight, we should know this. How did Einstein jerk off? Wouldn't you want to know? How did Capernicus jerk off? How did Galileo jerk off? Wouldn't you want to know? There's a whole There's a There's a whole story there.

1:39:24 There's a whole undiscovered country. How did h how how did TS Elliott beat his meat? While crying.

1:39:37 I got to go. God bless you all. Thank you so much for tuning in. May God go with you into the night. Tune in for the I have two great interviews coming up. Um Winter Bard, Jack Cornfield. Perfect timing for the weirdness that's happening in the world. I'll see you next week. Until then, har Krishna.
