NASA’s Martian Portal: Alien Airbnb or Just a Hole?

Curious about celebrity astronauts, AI’s cosmic finds, and NASA’s Mars “portal”? Tune in for a space‑fuelled Friday Happy Hour!
In At The Mic with Keith Malinak: Friday Happy Hour, host Keith Malinak sits down with special guest Brad Staggs (host of The Daily Mojo) for a rollicking dive into the intersection of pop culture and outer space. They start by dissecting Diana Ross’s “I’m Coming Out” and its queer‑community resonance, then zoom into celebrity astronauts—from Katy Perry’s four‑minute orbital jaunt to Blue Origin’s all‑female crew—and debate FAA definitions. AI’s blockbuster role in uncovering 1.5 million new space objects gets unpacked, and NASA’s jaw‑dropping 2017 Mars “portal” image is re‑examined for underground life. Along the way, humor and cultural commentary illuminate topics ranging from modern‑art absurdity to digital privacy, environmental impacts of tech and pets, and even the nostalgia of stamp collecting—all served with Malinak’s signature wit.

Speaker 1 (00:00.236)
the radio and she would start singing. want the world to know that my love's a hoe. I think so. I want the world to know that I'm just a hoe. But then they're like, you probably shouldn't say that because that just it doesn't I mean, you're Diana Ross. So don't and
because she had to do what the producers told her and so she's like, okay. yeah, so she was like, I'm gonna sing a song about, but she's not gay. So why is she singing about I'm coming out if she's not? So she mocking gay people? Why does Diana Ross hate gay people? I mean, I think that that...
Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:49.218)
Do a deep dive on that.
There's exhibit A right there. I Diana Ross, the gaze.
I think we have breaking news. Are you gonna?
I think you're right that we do that just.
Speaker 1 (01:07.342)
Breaking news. Breaking news. Space goals.
I love it when I sound like I'm in
Have you ever been to space?
Yeah, I'm in space right now. Yeah, which is why I so upset that we weren't doing, because I rented this cubicle onboard the space station shuttle ISIS. And when you do that, because I mean, Katy Perry could go, and I went to and, we're doing that. Look, I'm got, and I gravity.
Your gravity?
Speaker 2 (01:47.134)
Can you stay up there longer than four minutes though? Because the show is going to be a little longer than that.
What?
freaking awesome. Now, if something floats by, I'll be sold. Waiting, wait. my God. Look at this, yo! Hello everyone, it's three o'clock Eastern. I guess we should start now. Brad doing the show. Dude, you gotta do that for two hours. I hope you know.
Whoa!
Speaker 1 (02:16.514)
my thighs are gonna be killing me. That's what Diana Ross said.
Do me a favor, Mr. Bradstack.
Then settle
Not another one.
Can you tell me if people chat? Because I'm trying to, I think I have figured out a way to monitor the chat today. Maybe, but first I need you to tell me if anyone has chatted yet.
Speaker 1 (02:40.706)
Let's see.
I'm looking at the White House 46 archive because they were doing the Trans Day of Visibility at this time last year. okay, where are you? You're here. That's where you are. And then.
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:03.214)
I see a mega maga salty Sue says, guys.
Mega Malte... Mega Malte what?
It says 1043 PM next to salty Seuss comment. What happened? What? Why does my? It does on my computer.
Does? It's, where are you even seeing the top? Where are you?
Well, OK, so I'm monitoring it through another computer that I set up behind the streaming computer. But if I look at the streaming computer, it says 1043 PM. But I think that's because I started this like a month's worth of healing time. did you get your first of all, I should probably say hello to everyone more formally than that. There's Brad Staggs from the Daily Mojo dot com. How can they hear your show like?
Speaker 1 (03:36.174)
You're on Swahili time.
Speaker 1 (03:49.099)
In space.
Like, where do they go? Do they go to the daily mojo.com?
amazed that this is not in anti gravity that this is not floating out of its glass. That would be really messy. They can go to the Daily Mojo dot com. Um it's probably a place. Uh it's a good place because that's where the show and they can watch on rumble and on kick. Are you doing kick yet?
You ask me that every
I did because I'm going to keep asking you until you do it and I get the commission. Are you doing kick yet?
Speaker 2 (04:21.986)
You know what you could do is you stream this for me on kick. Go ahead. Fire away.
Tell you
Speaker 1 (04:29.806)
Go. could I could have done that. We can wait for Ron to do it, but then we'd be waiting for days.
I mean, we'll wait. It can't be that big of a
Speaker 2 (04:38.542)
So shout out to, and she just.
Yeah, that's Gabby. That's who created and runs the At the Mike Show Instagram page. is so it's it's it's instagram.com. At the Mike Show. It's at the Mike Show. But if you go to YouTube, it's just at
the gaps.
Speaker 1 (04:54.296)
.com
Speaker 1 (05:01.472)
Mr. McCoffee, is that astronaut Brad Staggs? Yes. And I do I'm very upset because I rented the entire room on the space shuttle station. And I'm by myself now. And on occasion, it does get wasted. Like, because the only reason they went weightless in the rocket that looked like a penis was because they did the parabola thing just like the vomit comet.
And you're just by yourself.
Speaker 2 (05:26.229)
Right up and down.
yeah and so at the top of your waitlist which is kind of like what this does because this space station it it's it's because it's old it kind of sinks every now and then so you feel the jet boosters and it kicks up and then when it the boosters kick off and you kind of go weightless for just a little bit and that's what happens. Uh huh. So that's when I go weightless and then my thighs have to rest. I see. Because having old old guys ain't fun. They should tell you that when you're young that you're
Speaker 2 (05:59.906)
different stuff. I'm just kind of shocked by the breaking news. You suggested that Blue Origin looks like a penis. Where are you getting that?
with shrunken testicles. Look at the shrunken testicles. That's what somebody said the other day. If it would, no, it doesn't, because there's no testicles. And look at the tiny little shrunken
Okay, I didn't know the analogy was gonna go that deep.
I
You got it up there.
Speaker 2 (06:25.23)
Wow, that's that's not that's a steroid steroid user.
that hard to see it.
right there. It's given, it's giving, what's the other company? yeah. SpaceX is giving them stiff competition.
Hold on.
Are you on the tip of it right now floating in space?
Speaker 1 (06:43.116)
I just barely the tip.
Moving on. There's been some conspiracy theories about that. Blue Origin. In fact, I've got, hang on. by the way, I don't think I've ever said this. Have I ever said this? know, Wes puts the show everywhere. Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, Rumble. He cleans up. mean, he so much. He does all of these cool, unique looking thumbnails too. Like turning us into Scooby Doo and.
That is so weird.
Speaker 2 (07:16.27)
I don't know you need to talk to Wes cuz it's awesome and I appreciate it a lot And so I'm sure he can do a tutorial for us sometime But it but hang on. Let me just
can't see that. That's right. You can't see when I do that, Tim.
what it will have and so what I'm doing today with the chat guys. Try it because I'm monitoring over here where it cut out some we're going to see if it was a one off last week but I'm also monitoring through another.
Right, you couldn't see people talking.
And you know what? People are welcome to ask questions and maybe do your own not so rapid fire questions. Not because I'm too lazy to do it myself, but because you you totally want to do it. What just happened?
Speaker 1 (08:01.442)
nothing I'm and I was
What is what was that noise? Are you killing Duck Kitty? What is going on?
He's supposed to be in here.
Yeah, he's part of the show!
He would he he's he be he might he could whoa hang on now First time in a studio. Yeah, so what's your point? I'm trying to figure out if I get the chat. How do I get a live chat? Oh, there it is. Look at that. I'm getting nothing on the chat. That's me. Okay Why was that such a weird? Is it supposed to look like a dummy hand or something?
Speaker 2 (08:23.513)
nice.
Speaker 2 (08:41.927)
exactly and they were like hey look they never really went to space because look there's a dummy now I don't know if they dug through the ground and then came out of it you know what I'm saying like it is very weird
I got nothing on my phone on the chat. There's nothing.
logged in under another account and I can see see okay so okay we got to figure this out because I see one two three four five okay I got all five I got five and five so if there's more than five comments in the chat I'm not seeing them I'm seeing mega monga salty sue I'm seeing Toby McAvoy Brad stags
So am I supposed to be commenting here or somewhere else? No. So I place the comment.
This is Place to comment. Yeah. Not on any other. This is the only place in town for the show.
Speaker 1 (09:35.53)
I can't believe I forgot to tell you about the other thing.
the
No, This was the girl with the bionic arms. Did you see her?
Speaker 1 (09:55.778)
I'm hanging on to it because it'll freak you out. I'm gonna tell you it'll be freaked. You will freak because when she does a party trick, this party trick that she does is it's.
I love a street.
Speaker 2 (10:07.925)
Wait
Okay, well I'm looking forward to that.
You should be because it's it'll freak you out.
It'll freak me out. Okay, so we got the plastic hand. So it turns out the community notes on Twitter said that ha ha, not really. That's from 2017 after a test flight of a dummy. And so people were saying that ha ha look, it's actually from Monday and see they weren't even in there. But I don't know how you explain them not being in there if they came out of the capsule. Another thing going around was this return from space.
of a dummy.
Speaker 2 (10:45.902)
I should have had the color picture ready. how it's all burnt up and stuff from reentry? It's all scarred from the burning and all this stuff. And they're saying, this didn't go to space because it's all pristine. Now, come on. It's qualified as going to space. You're not going to have burn marks.
Right, because it didn't like do the burn, didn't get super-duper hot in there.
So that's how I can explain away the picture of the reentry capsule and the dummy hand. What I can explain is this video I want to play for you. let's see here. I got to find out Jacob Israel. Hang on a second. Let me, uh, got too many tabs open. Cause just like my brain. And I want you to look at, where is it?
Yeah, here we go. I don't understand this video other than the only thing I can think of and maybe somebody can help me is that Bezos just wanted to look like you know what I'm talking about? Yep. The door open. So we just so this the door's already open. Yeah. And then they close it on the chick. Yeah.
important. That's it.
Speaker 1 (11:55.758)
really her heart.
Speaker 1 (12:03.374)
It looked, you know, like, because we're suspicious of everything.
You know what I think? Hold on. So I can explain the door opening and closing. I bet people are moving around in there and they're trying to scoop by. And plus they're probably told disembark over here or whatever. I don't know. But what I can't understand is, look, I'm Jeff Bezos and I have a tool and I'm going to use it.
What is he doing? That's PR firm saying, okay, here's what you're going to do. So he paid a PR firm probably a lot of money to set this thing up.
because look, that door is flat. You see that? There's no, there's nothing. What has he got to do?
The the the handle is on the inside. There's there's a handle on the inside just like the one that's in his hand and it's you can see it in the other pictures of the interior of these of the capsule because you have to have it. It's like in a freezer. It has to be handled inside.
Speaker 2 (12:57.996)
Okay, hold on, had probably two nodules, right? That he put in the holes. I mean, this is, the entire operation is a phallic. So he took the, okay, he actually was doing something. That's got two nodules that line up with those two circles.
It's just the head.
Speaker 1 (13:12.83)
It does, but he didn't have to. It's it's supposed to, because otherwise what's he doing there is he's being a Walmart greeter standing outside waiting for them to come out. Yeah. Yeah. And he's the, just for him to be up there and her to be able to Mr. Bezos, come over here. I know you're paying me a lot of money to put this all together. And so, Hey, this is where you stand. So make sure that we can see. And he actually is in good shape. I mean, I have to give him that.
Clearly they opened it up on the-
Speaker 2 (13:40.748)
I want to be rich like him so I can fall on my face and I can also act like I'm opening a door that I'm not. And everybody laugh at me and at the end of the day, I still am worth billions of dollars.
I still haven't seen that.
Speaker 1 (13:56.007)
I still haven't seen him trip and fall. I've not seen that video yet.
well, allow me to, are you gonna look for it right now? so you don't care? Wow.
now.
Well, I was just sending a note to some important people, but no, I'll look for it. Jeff Bezos falls. Be Bezo Bezos falls.
I didn't get a text from you, so... But you said it was important people.
Speaker 1 (14:16.3)
I wasn't writing you a note.
I did, you're right, I misspoke.
Hold on, got the video. Here we go. Stand by.
crap, he did fall, didn't he? It's like he didn't break an ankle.
Right, that's a big ditch right there. But again, he can get up. Yeah, check my net. He's lucky to hit his head on the side of the deal because he starts to fall toward it.
Speaker 1 (14:36.31)
Back up, Whitney.
Speaker 1 (14:43.758)
would have been horrible if he'd like hit his head and cracked it open and like bled out right there on the spot and it would be like.
going on so hang on a second hang on who gets his money if he dies he's not married yet
Well, so she still gets it. yeah. Yeah. She's again. What does she do with her little finger? That is because they're the he's doing a lot of. on. Hold on. want to see how this is. Yes. For her. I mean they do all that. He does all that stuff just for her.
You think so?
Speaker 2 (15:26.168)
to with.
her little- Well, she's got something that she's able to do that he's like, will spend bazillions of dollars on you. And he does.
Okay. Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:38.168)
So 13.
showing up in.
You know what, guys? I'm just counting. It looks like I'm now getting all of the chats. It looks like last week was a one off. But what is so weird is that, for example, hold on, let me check here. They're not in order. So on my admin side, they're coming in at a different order than my viewer side.
Like the Toby comment, like this says, like, feel exclusive. I feel this feels so exclusive. It was way up there. Right. And so on this it's, nevermind. Hang on. Hang on. Ignore me. It's a different, it's a different Toby comment that I was following on the, was tracking the wrong Toby comment.
Never operate your air.
Speaker 1 (16:28.078)
but this is the weird thing. I've got Jeffy Apologist on the phone. Okay. But he's not. She or she is not over in the on the on the computer screen.
Huh. No, that's Pat. That's Pat Gray Mexican Spy.
No, no, no, I'm looking at Jeffy Apologist. Jeffy Apologist is on.
Wait a second, you're right it is, the same. okay, so how is that working? How are the one person over there and a different person over
One, think, the handle on the other. What you drinking? You're looking at the name, like the little name you can change on Twitter on one, and the at side, the handle on the other.
Speaker 1 (17:04.952)
Say that again.
Speaker 1 (17:13.965)
Okay, but it's coming up as a diff... Yeah, but that's...
Holy crap dude. She is a spy. It could just be that she's manipulating space and time, which we have to get into. crap. We have to talk about this. okay. There's a lot going on. Let's get into space stuff. before we do that.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:31.415)
weird.
Speaker 1 (17:35.439)
I am. I got into space stuff before we started.
Did you buckle up? Like what happened here? Like you've stopped floating.
I'm strapped down to the, you know what strap on is backwards?
No,
That is back on back.
Speaker 2 (17:57.867)
Ha! No par-
Isn't that weird? Tell me we're not in a simulation.
Tell me we're not in a stimulation. you find things that see when you find things out like that, just you you it's crazy.
Somebody's Googling right now. don't click the images! Don't do that! Whoever's Googling...
Well, you can stroke. mean, we're done here. that snap on. Never mind. But it's still different kind of sort of maybe just saying.
Speaker 2 (18:33.87)
Comments out of order, this could be fun from Daguerrebert. And then after that, I have two laughing emojis from Pat Gray, Mexican Spy. OK, that's in the admin. Now when I look up here, comments out of order, this could be fun. Then it's Toby, hi, Sue. Then it's the laugh emojis from Pat Gray, Mexican Spy. Then Sue saying, I'm late, that I miss Brad identifying as a female fake astronaut. Sue, no parts. But on the admin, I'm not seeing Sue at all. I mean, I did earlier.
I'm telling you
I saw Sue's stuff, but now I'm not seeing it down
You saw Sue's stuff? he- What?
What? Hey, you know what? No, I see her. I see her two comments that I just read, but they're way up on the admin. This is chaos.
Speaker 1 (19:17.822)
It is nuts. I'm telling you, it's unless you don't have the parts in which case it's not so nuts. It's just crazy.
It's not that you spell strap on that.
Speaker 2 (19:28.27)
So some kid, some college kid at Caltech just used AI. I don't know how to properly use AI to do much. mean, it helped me with my, if you missed it yesterday, I did a conversation with Steve Dase, afternoon host over at the Blaze and a movie producer and book author with a new book. was a really cool interview too. Yes, it was. And so he joined me.
and movie producer.
good movie too.
Speaker 2 (19:56.11)
for the Thursday deep dive on the resurrection of Christ and went to the evidence and I I asked rock I mean we did he and I did zero prep for this which is ironic because it's the longest standing, you know booking that I've had because it was like eight months out Right and so we sit down and we're like, alright, here we go. It's like We just winged it and then I typed into grok. I was like, hey, what are some?
We sounds like the Daily Mojo.
Speaker 2 (20:24.738)
things that skeptics about the resurrection say. And Grok listed about a dozen or so. He went through them all. It was awesome. But the point I was making is this kid used AI. That's the other thing. The Doge team used AI to find where money was being wasted and looking through the system and stuff. And it's just like, I don't even know how to start on that. This kid discovered that there were 1 and 1.5 million previously unknown objects in space. And it's like,
What are you?
I feel like we already knew that.
Well, AI found out too then. I don't know. I didn't know that.
Didn't we know that? I mean, didn't we know that there were a bunch of space? I mean, we knew there was space trash flying around out there because they always talk about having to miss the bolts and stuff. Because a bolt in space is like a bullet.
Speaker 1 (21:16.758)
Yeah, that's yeah. Because it's going what? 25,000 miles an hour? And if you're going against the grain, I mean, I guess it's great if you're going 25,000 miles an hour with the, you know, if you're flying with the spinning of the atmosphere. But if you're going against the grain, you get hit by a bolt, it's going to leave a mark. It's going to hurt.
Yeah, but this was not just like trash and stuff. This was, this was asteroids. This was distant cosmic objects.
Wait, a what? What's a distant cosmic object? Floating around in space in space space or just like in our atmosphere space?
That's what the article is.
Speaker 2 (21:58.67)
Space Space.
Define the space space.
The place where Katy Perry spent all of four minutes on Monday. So there.
OK, I think you're jealous too. I think a lot of people are jealous that they're not an astronaut and Katy Perry is.
she's an astronaut. That's awesome. Does she fit the legal definition of an astronaut? Yes. Then I'm going to start saying. You know what, Sanchez, what does she, she changed her Wikipedia to say space tourist.
Speaker 1 (22:26.562)
You can call yourself whatever you want, but technically they are astronauts. If they flew into space and they trained to be aboard a spacecraft, which the Shepard capsule is, even if they trained for an hour, they're still an astronaut.
Do see how this extra computer is blocking my sunlight? There we go. That's why I'm so pale.
That's why you're so pale. it's, mean, they're astronauts, but people do not want to admit that.
So the hold on I'll address that the spy says that Dase's ability to answer croc skepticism was impressive. Yes, it was and that's somewhere down the smart feed somewhere. It should it'll be pinned to the top there in the article sometime when I get around to it. is so hold on a second. Now if you were to pay going back to the astronaut talk if you were to pay because you obviously did thousands of dollars to float up there.
He's just freakishly smart.
Speaker 1 (23:24.8)
I did. Well, you just it's different price if you rent the International Space Orbiting Craft.
So if you go up in space, if you save up your money or whatever and you buy a ticket to ride and you do that and you go up there, are you now an astronaut?
Yeah. I mean, if you have to train to be aboard that spacecraft, yes. The definition, the technical definition of an astronaut is someone who trains to be aboard a spacecraft.
OK, then you heard it here first or second.
mean, people need to admit they're jealous that Katy Perry is an astronaut. And they're not, I'm not, I'm not, well, I wasn't until this afternoon. Now I am. I mean, my fellow astronaut, Katy Perry, back for someone who has gone and Lauren Sanchez. what are your other pick up?
Speaker 2 (24:17.806)
I don't know. think one was trans, right? Am I wrong? really... Okay.
I don't think so. No, they're all factory originals.
check that check that though. Okay, well, why you check that? Are you a big fan of Merriam-Webster's dictionary? So something you kind of lean on for definitions and whatnot?
I
Speaker 1 (24:41.369)
It depends on whether or not it suits my needs.
I give you two options. See if either these suit your needs. A person whose profession is to travel beyond the Earth's atmosphere. Did that suit your needs? Brad Staggs.
Okay, how about the second one? Okay, that was the main definition. Then underneath it says broadly, any person who travels...
See you.
Any person
Speaker 2 (25:11.05)
any person who travels beyond the Earth's atmosphere. All right, congratulations. You're a four-minute astronaut.
Is that okay? Okay, I'll give you astronaut if you give me the four minutes.
You know what I don't like? Let me tell you what I don't like. I don't like the new way that burned is being spelled.
You are NT.
Okay, hold on. When is the proper time to use burned or burnt? Because hold on a second. There is a barbecue restaurant that you and I ate at and you go in for the burnt with a T ends. Those are so good, by the way. Holy.
Speaker 1 (25:42.21)
same thing.
Speaker 1 (25:50.19)
burnt ends.
Speaker 1 (25:55.736)
good grief.
Can we eat there again soon?
we can. There's a story at the New York Post why Katy Perry, Lauren Sanchez, and Blue Origins all-female crew may not actually be astronauts. According to FAA rules, when does the FAA get to have a
I'm out. I can at least go with you there that we shouldn't be writing articles about this. Stop it. This is a bar. This, you know what this is? This is a conversation at a bar with strangers. That's all this is. It shouldn't be a freaking New York Times story. There's a about the FAA has weighed in or, or they, they didn't weigh in.
No, York Post, Post, Post.
Speaker 1 (26:35.79)
and they're just, they're The details are officially recognized by the, by the Federal Aviation Administration. The federal, they have nothing to do with space, do they? I mean, it's Hold on, let's check.
I don't know. Definitions, these federal aviation administration, I guess they do.
Wait a minute. Do they have if they if it's all things flight related do they have any? power or authority over birds Can they tell birds what to do Since none of the crew members actually played a direct role in piloting the flight
you
Speaker 2 (27:09.614)
this is getting personal now.
Wait a second. I mean, they did. Is the door a piece of equipment on the on the flight? I would say it is. I would say the space capsule itself is a piece of equipment there. Ergo, any piece of equipment attached to that piece of equipment is a piece of equipment. And somebody had to operate the door. So if it was just the one of the space babes who opened the door of the capsule that makes them an operational part of the space capsule, Ergo.
they're an astronaut. Maybe if you want to go down that road. So which one of them opened the door?
Bezos is an astronaut!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on a second. because he wasn't on it. Well, has he gone up in it yet, He hasn't gone up in his own spaceship.
Speaker 2 (27:57.656)
No.
I know, I'd be the only one on there like, screw y'all, y'all can wait down here.
Yeah. The new Shepard rocket and space capsule were flying autonomously, taking direction from the ground crew. But still, that's not, well, again, who's the official? You have to go by whatever the, who are we using as the official definer of astronaut? And Bezos Space Ride has gotten more press than the astronauts. basically left for dead a year. Yep.
this baby.
Speaker 1 (28:35.064)
That is so true. We're obsessed with celebrities.
Now I'm I didn't care until Gale King was like, I'm Alan Shepard! And that was a mission! And if it's not a mission to you, then you suck!
Wait, she said that because I didn't see that because I don't really pay much attention to what Gail did.
I mean, I summed it up nicely. I would say you don't even go look for it, Brad. I pretty much nailed it.
Okay, all right, I won't even bother to look it up.
Speaker 2 (29:06.392)
Don't even don't just take my word.
I thought that was shit for me. I thought that was shit for me.
Drop Alan Shepard's name though. In the Gale King sound bite there.
Who hasn't?
Speaker 1 (29:20.75)
I was going to use what she said about the thing, but I can't because then we'll get no, because we're Twitter. You can say faggotry on Twitter.
What is happening? What happened?
Well, that's what she said. That's what Gail King said. did she? Yeah. In a segment on CBS this morning. And to be fair, she was quoting one of the chapters in the dude's book who was right. But yeah, she and then the big headline was Gail King uses gay homophobic slur. I didn't know what that word.
that's like. We haven't discussed history in context anymore. mean, it's been like that for decades. But like I remember there was a there was a mural at the University of Georgia. I don't know. 15 years ago maybe you can look this up because I mean why would I do work on my own show? Oh shoot man. You gotta buckle down that that. Grab the latch. Grab the latch bro. Grab the.
I know.
Speaker 1 (30:15.446)
Okay, we're okay again.
So and I just remember it was the University of Georgia. And it was a mural about the campus's history, the good and the bad. And there was like a crowd, much think of the Little Rock Nine, right? It's kind of like that is my understanding. The mural and one of the signs being held was inward go home, right? And it was just showing, look at how far we've come as a society where you used to not be allowed on this campus. And now, you know,
People are probably graduating with honors here. that became like this big, I mean, the fact that you can't even have a discussion about history, it's just.
That's why we can't let them take words and weaponize them. Yeah. That's why you cannot.
That's kind of retarded when you do that.
Speaker 1 (31:09.376)
It is so retarded that you can't let them do that because otherwise they'll have you in jail for that. It's daily retarded. That's a retarded get.
Or is it gay? Is it gay?
That is a tough, get for me. Like, I don't know when this- Right? So I don't know when it's retarded or when it's gay. Like, I don't know which-
queer thinking right there.
Speaker 1 (31:31.83)
Right, which standard, which lever do you pull to be gayer or tartarter?
Or I mean, if something's queer.
I'm queer for candle.
So like if I did a Twitter, I would say like, these synonyms? Yes or no? I need a handful of words here. I gay, queer, retarded.
And flashlights.
Speaker 1 (31:47.864)
Alright.
Speaker 1 (31:51.916)
I can give you a handful of gay if you want it. But you know what? You try to be helpful and what happens? People will not. You have to learn how to be a gracious receiver.
I suspect that YouTube not gonna be a fan of this show.
Are we on YouTube?
Well, we will be at seven o'clock tonight, Central Time.
good luck with that.
Speaker 2 (32:17.198)
This is gonna get the channel a strike this very show, you know What I should have played music at the beginning if it's gonna get a strike on YouTube regardless That's a thing. Are they gonna give you two strikes one free to play music and one of you use like really bad language Like it but if it's on the same video, is that only one strike or two strikes?
thought well, but if you if they already yank you, not in a gay way, but you know in a retarded way And you've already for playing the music then you're already out before they get you for the queer stuff So technically you can't have been you know have been gotten that way Wait Exactly Gotten
That is.
Speaker 2 (32:52.76)
Get what now?
Guttin? Do you make up words like all the time? I'll be sitting at... For some reason, my brain cannot on the fly remember the word remote or remote control. So I will be sitting... Guys, lovely audience, this happened.
Like kidding.
dramatically
Speaker 1 (33:18.126)
And the ugly one too, don't forget them.
You know who you are. Okay, so hold on. is is the truth. My brain for some reason in that word remote remote control more often than not when I ask someone in the family to hand me the remote I say whatever I wanted to do don't ask it you want to talk about Boomerville hand me the volumer hand me the channel of
There is nothing wrong with that and don't anybody tell you that.
Thank you for taking my disability and embracing it.
You should get money for it, actually.
Speaker 2 (33:57.484)
Hand me the channel changer thing.
yeah, that's right. And you can't, Daguerre Bear's right. Remember, Brad, you cannot call people douchebags. You can't call, you have to ask Doc Thompson about that. Mike, Mike, what's it, what was his name? HR dude. call people douchebags. Wait, did
Why can't you call?
Speaker 2 (34:17.024)
he'll look-
Speaker 2 (34:21.022)
Wait, that was a thing?! He's no longer with us, by the way. Well, I mean, you-
Neither one of them.
But Mike, Mike's with us on earth. He's just not.
you. Are you sure? You don't know that but yeah, they hit the whole big media. Don't you remember they hit the whole big meeting and they I didn't. yeah. Okay. You think those and I believe the retort to that was you should check Pat and Stu's hallway for the the douche bag of the month award or douche bag of the week. Whatever show of fame. Yeah, the Douche Hall of Fame because. Wow. Right.
know that's
Speaker 2 (34:56.352)
I remember there was a meeting with HR. I didn't know what it was about.
Now the jury was still out on whether or not you could call them a douche nozzle or a douche canoe.
douche canoe all day. In fact, nozzle is just fun, more fun to say. Hey Wes, if you're watching, maybe we don't put-
It really is. mean.
Speaker 2 (35:16.962)
You know what? It's almost like, look, now that the Band-Aids ripped off, just let fly. This one's not going.
Just let it rip. Just let it rip. You might as well. But I mean, would you rather be the nozzle or the bag or the canoe?
Can I, I got two more space stories. I, can I.
Or would you rather be a douche canoe or a sex canoe?
I've never heard of a set.
Speaker 1 (35:43.565)
you can get free, was it free ponchos? Would you buy a-
Okay, I'm moving on.
Don't you remember the sex you never had the sex canoe? you've not lived if you anybody who's heard sex canoe They know what I mean
Ladies and gentlemen, Brad Staggs.
never saw that movie, no interest, which one?
Speaker 2 (36:05.998)
When was that?
I don't know.
So let me hit this story. Are you excited about a story that the James Webb, I just combined Webb and Hubble, the James Webb telescope picked up a couple of gas.
That's if James Webb and Mr. Hubbell had a baby.
Yeah. this is, I gotta.
Speaker 1 (36:32.91)
You'd be a little webble.
Speaker 1 (36:37.894)
You're right, that's the I can't believe you can buy this over the counter and you can take it and Honey is fabulous Aren't you? Up here in space it works better. Is that okay? Your honey floats in space
did you take some of that?
Speaker 1 (36:55.69)
It does. just it bright you out of the container just all over the place.
So why don't you take the top off and let's see.
I'm not taking this off, you'll see the sick sniffle.
No one wants to see the six nipple.
Are you excited about life found 124 light years away on the planet that just turns out it's just gas that usually signifies biomatter nearby microorganisms usually the biosignatures of marine microorganisms.
Speaker 1 (37:28.558)
I think the six nipple will tell you whether or not I'm excited about that.
There's gas out there. Good stuff. One more store. Are you are excited about that?
Yes.
Speaker 1 (37:42.274)
Wouldn't anybody be about gas in space? Space gas. I am looking for a thing that's long so I can use it to move this. Hold on a second. Hold on. You go.
You're looking for a thing that's long and you haven't found it yet. How old are you? Okay, so NASA has admitted that an over 300 foot wide hole in the surface of Mars could be a portal leading to an underground world of alien life. Now I read that first sentence and I thought, alright, when they put stuff in quotes, then obviously it's not gonna be fun. You it's not gonna be as exciting as is.
a whole in quotes or a portal
No, no, no, portal. The American Space Agency shared the shocking image of a massive opening in the Martian landscape on Sunday for its astronomy picture of the day. Can you Google Mars, portal, NASA and see what kind of picture?
Massive opening and it came up with Gale King. Mars. What'd you say Mars? Massive? Mars? Portal? Portal. Massive.
Speaker 2 (38:45.122)
Here's a quote from a NASA researcher. such as this are of particular interest because they might be portals to lower levels that extend into expansive underground caves. Now that just sounds like he's playing with us, Holes such as this are of particular interest because they might be portals to lower levels that expand into expansive underground caves. If so, these naturally occurring tunnels...
yes.
Speaker 2 (39:09.878)
are relatively protected from the harsh surface of Mars, making them relatively good candidates to contain Martian life. I feel like we're being toyed with. It's quite a statement by NASA, blah, blah. When you a portal hole...
I found the hole.
Am I adding it to the? I I see I see two people and that doesn't look like are they going to tell us?
Speaker 1 (39:31.143)
There's your hole. Wow. There's the big, there's the massive hole. looks a bit like a giant, Uranus, but it's Mars.
That looks like...
Butthole.
No, that looks like somebody painted a sidewalk, shot a hole into the sidewalk, and then the paint chipped away. And we've been fooled like that before. And when you're stuff like, you know, it could lead to caves and life and aliens and so on, mean...
It does.
Speaker 1 (40:00.682)
Wait a second. This is a seven year, five, eight year old image.
Well, it became the picture of the day. It's almost like they... Okay, let's be honest.
NASA being on top of things from 2017.
So let's think this through. I'm sure NASA takes a lot of pictures, a lot of video footage, and then they comb through it eventually, it takes them seven years. I mean, I've got pictures on my phone that now we're looking at, I mean, you take a lot of pictures of one thing, take 20 pictures maybe, and then maybe you'll develop one of them if you develop them at all. Am I the only person who still develops them? I still have two, I'm probably two and a half years behind now on...
on trying to get stuff developed off my phone. And that's all NASA did. They said, hey, we got a butthole picture. Let's make that the picture of the day.
Speaker 1 (40:46.818)
That's all we do.
Speaker 1 (40:52.714)
right after the douche canoe. And they censor them. They color the photos.
That's right. They doctor them. They doctor them.
They do doctor them. They play doctor and color the photos and which again that means you can't trust a damn thing that any of them say. it's a ghost. I know it's crazy but that's I've heard that rumor.
Yeah, that fits his meal.
Speaker 2 (41:13.582)
What do mean you can't trust the government?
Speaker 2 (41:19.618)
You know what? I'm sad because Zay was supposed to be here today and she was going to do this whole thing on space and we were going to go through the whole Blue Origin and just take a rain check because she's sick. And I'm sorry, but you committed to this show and you said you would be here and we were going to talk about space. then what? You go and get, I wasn't going to tell everyone that it was malaria.
Malaria is not that big a deal.
We're not on the air, are we?
No, we go live in about, hold on, three, two, one. Welcome to this edition of At the Mic. I'm your host, Keith Malinak, along with Brad Staggs.
disease. I don't have, I don't for the record, I do not have malaria.
Speaker 2 (42:00.018)
We did a lot of pregame show today. We had of good stuff that I wish was on the air, but unfortunately we didn't start the live stream.
It does until until very much later in.
A lot of people are already chatting here. It's almost like they could hear us.
That's weird. We have some bad news too.
What's the bad? I don't want bad news on a friend.
Speaker 1 (42:22.83)
He got bad news. mean, if you like if you like if you like Katy Perry because the expert is so this is good news then.
Okay, all right, like that news.
You'll love that news from the PR expert for Katy Perry that she could face career extinction if she doesn't step back from the public.
or step back.
just saying. mean, we don't want to...
Speaker 2 (42:49.095)
She just announced a tour or something when she got off the plane
It's to step back if you're going to go on tour. Just saying.
Yeah, right. Hey, so did everybody get their taxes paid in time?
I paid yours.
Speaker 1 (43:06.242)
I'm I'm hoping for a big, I'm hoping for a big refund.
You've paid my taxes for me? Yeah. Appreciate that.
I'm just, you know, you're welcome. It's like, you know, when you go through McDonald's in front of somebody and you're like, what do they get behind me?
You paid it forward or whatever. I didn't pay the person behind me though. I paid mine.
well then you're going to get a hell of a refund.
Speaker 2 (43:27.598)
Obviously. Okay, so here's a poll that Oyster Bunny tagged me in and I retweeted this. I don't know, last week or whatever. It's tax time. What is your most hated way of being taxed? So income tax came in the lead there at 48%. Second place, the home you own, property tax, 39%. That's the one I voted for, as you can see, the check gives it away.
left when you die.
I don't like it when I'm trying to use this and then it says, haha, it outs me. Haha, you picked property tag.
Well, I wouldn't have known that that was you because of the check mark unless you just said so. I had no idea that's what that.
Well, the reason I'm pissed about that is because I really struggled with this on income or property, but I ultimately went with property just because it means you're a renter for the entirety of your life, regardless of whether you pay rent or a mortgage. Third place, distant third, 11 % death tax and then 1 % sales tax.
Speaker 1 (44:14.382)
because it means you never own it.
Speaker 1 (44:28.814)
But the gut, is actually I'm surprised at that, but everybody favors the consumption tax.
Well, that's because that's the only one that gives you a choice. Like you're going to die. You have to pay property taxes. Trust me. I've looked all 50 states have it. And if you're going to have money to live off of, you got to have an income and that's an income tax and all but 7. You're always going to have federal.
People had to write the stupid check every quarter or every year for their taxes. There'd be a revolt but
I'm not expecting a sea change in the way we fund our government, but if it's ever going to happen, it's going to happen under this administration. Again, I don't think it's going to happen, but if it does, it'll be in the next couple of
It could, it might happen. mean, there's your stinky stinker thinking is not going to do us any good. It could happen. very well. Hold on a second. I'll be a stinker thinker.
Speaker 2 (45:27.374)
My stinker thinker. I'm a stinker
It's StinkerThinker.
You are, you're positive. I like that. need some of
It could happen. It could very well happen.
Yeah, just like the Epstein files, am I right?
Speaker 1 (45:44.088)
Why do you have to bring, why do you do that? Why do you have, mean.
How many indictments have we, the handcuffs have been just like, how do we even have enough handcuffs in the government?
to the Epstein files. Where did that story even go?
I don't know, don't you dare be negative. Don't you be a stinker thinker.
You're right, we're gonna drown in a sea of taxes. We're gonna be taxed to death. It's never gonna happen. We're always gonna be taxed on our income.
Speaker 2 (46:06.798)
So this is a good opportunity for me to tease next week's deep dive Coming up on the 24th. We've got Steve friend He's been on both shows the Thursday deep dive and the Friday live stream FBI whistleblower and also Steve Baker to is dueling Steve's the intrepid reporter for the blaze who's been a guest on the Friday live stream and he's gonna make his Thursday debut and
So I'm going to have both Steve, Steve Friend and Steve Baker to tell us what's been going on at the new and improved FBI coming up a week from yesterday, also known as six days from.
And why did the story just go away? Why hasn't legacy, why hasn't Fox News been on top of this?
Okay, so here's what I've been thinking about with the Epstein files. And you tell me if you disagree with any of this. It's not really a, it's not a theory. It's just that they got burned by the FBI New York office, right? Southern New York. And then I think we heard that they were going up there to get them or whatever. Yep. Okay. All right. So, so far I have my facts accurate. Yes. So I would assume that since this happened a couple of months ago that they've gotten
as as we know.
Speaker 2 (47:25.346)
to DC by now. And they and so but but now here's here's what I'm okay. That's what I'm saying. If they were released. But let's just go with me here that they did retrieve them. Because if they didn't retrieve them, then she should have Pam Bondi should have held a press conference to say, okay, yes, because she's getting a lot of heat more than anyone on this. Right. But what I'm saying is, if she got duped by the FBI in New York, then she should hold a press conference to say,
should
Speaker 2 (47:55.438)
Hey, we had every intention of releasing these, but it turned out they shredded deleted files. Let me tell you some of the stuff. And yes, we're pursuing criminal charges against these rogue agents and the management that allowed this to happen under their watch and blah, blah, blah, blah. But she hasn't done that. So my theory is that they brought them back. Oh, let me back up. me back up. Do remember that day when Trump said, yeah, we're going to be releasing the JFK files and we're going to do it by this weekend or whatever he said? It was like a 48 hours out.
And then all of a sudden, I think there was panic at the FBI, like, my gosh, we got to start going through these. And some people's cell numbers and social security numbers who had filed for a four year request, et cetera, et cetera, that appeared in these documents now have to get new stuff because they were so quickly, they missed a lot of the information that was supposed to be blacked out, like personal identification.
So they release cell numbers and social security numbers? I did not see that part of this.
of people who are alive today because their information appeared on documents when they made requests, blah, blah. Anyway, so if they were able to turn around because it was done in haste, Trump says JFK files coming out two days from now, boom, they were sloppy, but they got them out. Well, I don't know if they got all of them out. But my point is they've had ample time because we've seen demonstrated.
that the president can call for something to happen and two days later we start getting stuff or it was maybe four days or whatever it was. Anyway, how long ago was that, hey, look at my binder. What day was that? Because that's when it all hell came down and like, what the hell was that?
Speaker 1 (49:33.388)
That was four weeks ago, was it not?
Okay, well then, I know they got the JFK stuff turned around in a lot less time.
four weeks ago?
I know it feels like eternity.
I honestly, when I'm saying this and you're saying how long, I was thinking February? When was it? What's the day?
Speaker 1 (49:55.458)
Well, according to the AP, and the picture of all of them standing up there holding up their binders, that was four weeks ago.
Okay, but do we have a date?
No, there's actually weird on these AP stories. There is no date which is Which is really strange because you'd think that a new service would date. Hold on a second in the caption Mr. James was Thursday, February 27th So six weeks
that's annoying.
Speaker 2 (50:24.928)
Okay, all right, so. Yeah, that's what I got. February 27th.
six weeks ago.
Okay, it feels like it was deeper into February than just the 27th.
Well, how much deeper can you get into federal?
I can't believe that you were... Yeah, February 1st would be deeper into like...
Speaker 1 (50:46.174)
That would be shallower into. Back. Well, you can't go backwards that way. can't back.
The end side of February, So, the shallow side of you're standing on April 18th, then you're barely in the shallow end of February on the 28th. You're in the deepest end of February 1st.
No, months can't go backwards. were deep. We were tennis balls deep into February. Why? That's an old saying, tennis balls deep. That's what they used to say on the tennis court when they'd play tennis.
Boom.
Speaker 2 (51:23.768)
I see. Because they would measure the bone.
number of balls. Yeah. And it was like how many how many balls deep were you on the other side of the court? They like lay down the ball.
In Screen and Fuzzy.
Yes. Exactly. And that's how they would, were your balls deep? Yeah, three. And then, whoa, three? Yes, three. It was, on occasion, it was surprising.
I would say so, usually you just see the two at a time.
Speaker 1 (51:55.82)
Right, just usually, yeah, when on the court you'd only see a couple of balls deep and it was on occasion that the third and it was that that caused a lot of confusion and quite frankly, a lot of nervousness and that's why they don't do that anymore.
So the one video that I'm looking for is the one video that I forgot to upload and that's fine. We'll just save it for next week.
And by the who was it that said, crawfish because the elephant in the room is on the list. I don't think that's the case if we're talking about. he was on the list. We would have known that by they would have used that. They were, yes, they would have. There's somebody if that's if there's somebody that they don't want known on the list, it's going to be somebody on Team Blue A and B. It's.
that's another theory.
Speaker 2 (52:31.81)
FBI New York would have told us that.
Speaker 1 (52:46.87)
I don't think that's the reason. I think it turns out he's a CIA asset or a Mossad asset. I think that's he was working for the government.
That's my. Can I just say nobody picked up on my on my line?
that I said on Pat Gray Unleashed about a week or so ago. Nobody that I saw. If somebody caught that, congratulations. Just because you didn't comment about it doesn't mean you didn't see it or didn't understand it. I did Google this for me. Let me give you an assignment. I said, and this is taking way too long. It's not even funny now. Are you? I think I said something to the effect of, what's that?
laughing inside.
Speaker 2 (53:29.038)
I just got a phone call from country code 011. Don't release them? OK, noted. So now you get to Google.
Why would Switzerland do that?
You can hear my typing, can't you? You know what that is. You know what that is. It's straight out of Meet the Parent. It's him when he's trying to get the ticket at the airport. She's, don't you remember that? She's like.
Hold on second. Where was I? Have I bitched about this on the air? How I can't stand automated things? They don't do it as much as they used to. But when you're talking to something that's automated and it's like, you know, hey, what's your date of birth? And you tell them and then the little AI or the fakey fake starts like, you're like, come off it. You're a freaking computer. You're not going to be fooled that the computer is typing something.
is that see it's that whole thing is that is that this whole lot? I'll see if it does it. No. To change your sound and vibrate. No, that's not it. That's somebody talking to me at the it tries to make it sound. It tries. No, that's not it either.
Speaker 2 (54:42.446)
scariest keyboard ever I Need an analog phone in this room. What is wrong with me? I've got about 30 of them in the garage All I need a prop. I need a prop phone up here. Yeah. Yes. It's like Okay. No, Okay. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on pull down the sound for a second here. Here we go Here we go How may I help you today just to just tell me what you need
I need to rate insurance car rate, something auto insurance.
Speaker 2 (55:21.71)
Please tell me what kind of car you're looking to insure today. I don't know, it's a 2025 Lamborghini.
Speaker 1 (55:37.208)
think I found your rate.
Right? It's the stupidest waste of freaking time! And it pisses me off more than it should! But every time, and I haven't experienced it in a while, but every time I have, I'm like, oh my gosh, I have things to do!
Ha ha!
Speaker 2 (55:57.944)
Holy
You know what? If you'd said this in 1980, that one day you'll be really pissed off about the fake keyboard sounds that they're making on computers, people will laugh at you.
Right? Yeah.
Yeah, because they didn't believe that stuff in 1980. was a simpler world back then 1980. got kicked back now. Somebody say something. Somebody get why Krofffist get kicked. It would have been leaked a long time ago. Right, right, Kara. It would have been leaked a long time ago if he was on there. If Trump was on that list. It has to do with him being an asset of the of the government.
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (56:35.938)
this out is crawfish stuff, right? His okay. So the latest comment correct is crawfish saying T Y. and now Marianne just did laughing emojis, right? Right. Okay. So get this. When I look at the admin thing, I have to scroll up almost to the beginning of the chat to see crawfish T Y. But yet Marianne's laughing emojis are the most recent. It's weird. It's so weird. So everyone's
Chat was probably coming through last week. It just was ordering it way up above where I couldn't see it off the top of the screen. This is weird. There ain't no streaming service that works. So I have to look up here through the actual Twitter as just a viewer. Stupid.
A massive portal, picture of Jasmine Crockett.
Don't go.
no. That's just massive hole. Thank you. There's a difference between a hole and a portal. You don't necessarily want to walk through a hole. didn't tackle. do. Bart does make up words. I do make it. Somebody has to make them. Where do you think words come from? Do you think they just are created out of a whole cloth?
Speaker 2 (57:48.142)
One one particular word was you know how Conan O'Brien was trying to his show I don't know 20 30 years ago whenever I was in college Was trying to come up with a cuss word to get by NBC censors and So they came up with crunk Crunk CR you in K and that actually turned into like a like a like a drink that you could buy
My farmage.
Speaker 1 (58:15.47)
Wouldn't you rather have my farmage?
What's that? I don't know. Okay, I'm not gonna repeat it because I feel like I feel like
Have you ever had your my phone which tickled?
I don't know it feels like it costs extra though
It does. You think they're going to do it for free? Hell no. If you're going to have your crunk touched, you got to get your mophomach tickled. Because otherwise, and you can only do it if while you're playing tennis, you're like three balls deep on the court because otherwise it doesn't work. It's a tennis term. Renee Richards. You know the problem with Renee Richards and her tennis game? She really she had no balls. She did not really just go for it.
Speaker 1 (59:03.266)
What? They said it wasn't aggressive enough.
So without looking, how much do you think a first class stamp costs right now for the postal service? Don't you? my gosh. How much is the first class stamp? No. Computer, I'm asking you to guess. I'm not asking you to look it up. You're cheating, computer! What do you think it is? What do you think it is? I can hear you clicking for real. Is he slowly trying to type?
How much is a US stamp?
Speaker 1 (59:43.608)
Do you sneak them in?
Speaker 1 (59:48.982)
I know what it is. I know how much it is. I didn't have to look.
Okay. How much is it?
No, wait, that's freedom. Freedom cost a buck. five a stamp is less than less than freedom.
And if you tell me you don't know why like freedom cost a buck five.
Are you gonna leave? no, we still have like maybe an hour-ish.
Speaker 1 (01:00:14.286)
then why does freedom cost a buck, oh five.
I don't.
because freedom isn't free.
Speaker 1 (01:00:22.99)
Freedom cost of buck five. Freedom cost, did you never see team America?
No, I haven't. It hasn't come out at least 40 years ago.
Like 20? Like 25?
Yeah, I know. It's on the list. I have a list somewhere.
actually.
Speaker 1 (01:00:48.462)
It was active.
no, this is good, this is good, hold on.
Team America was 21 years ago.
I wish, Julie, but yet it's actually just the opposite of
YouTube life was simpler simpler back
Speaker 1 (01:01:02.296)
Talking about Julie's end, that's not polite.
Okay, so the deal is it's...
Oh, I know how many, I forget the question. What was the question?
Okay, now tell me, tell me what it is.
78.
Speaker 2 (01:01:19.502)
No, no, I don't think so. I think it's 73. And they want to raise it to 78 in July, because the service is so
When was the last time you bought a stamp? Why?
I buy them all the time. I do not mail nearly as much as I used to, but I have a whole bunch of Jeopardy ones. This guy, Alex Trebek, Jeopardy stamp. It's pretty cool because it's like a question. Unfortunately, it's the same question for the whole pane. I thought when I got them, thought it was going to be, I'll get it, man. You see this. Hang on.
Were you getting?
Speaker 1 (01:01:58.114)
Ladies and gentlemen, while Keith is out, we're going to do some research on the computer. We're going to find out exactly what it is that he's looking for.
The part of that last five minutes or 30 seconds that sucked is that I couldn't hear anything you said. I bet it was good.
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:02:17.55)
It was all really funny and they've been sworn not to repeat what it was I told them about.
So I've got the Hank Aaron stamps, okay, because I'm a Braves fan.
Wait, hold on, hold on. Did you buy them because they were Hank Aaron stands?
I'm going to use them. It's because I needed stamps.
What? What do you mail?
Speaker 2 (01:02:39.616)
It's very rare anymore. It's like, it's so infrequent that I can't even answer the question.
Okay, if it's so infrequent, why'd you buy an entire book or page or whatever?
Sure, man. I'll have Hank Aaron. The vaccine took Hank Aaron from us. YouTube, love in this show. So I have to remember him, memorialize him as a Braves fan with Stamps Now.
Speaker 1 (01:03:04.078)
But okay, you still have not answered the question. What do you mail?
I have to think with the last thing. you know what? Gabby. Gabby. Miss Instagram. I just mailed her. In fact, Gabby will get, it'll be an envelope with this stamp on it.
You're emailing Gabby?
Speaker 2 (01:03:28.012)
The answer is Jeopardy. Hold on. This naturalized US citizen hosted the quiz show Jeopardy for 37 seasons. See you at Salish.
You're lying to me because you don't ma-
Speaker 1 (01:03:40.088)
That was Pat Sajak. No!
you're wrong! You're so dumb, bro! It's Alex Drummond! Man, you're dumb!
Who is Alex who?
That's some Canadian guy. Anyway, so I had to mail her a piece of art. Right. I mailed her some art and it has a Jeopardy stamp on it. Yeah, that I drew art on Pat Gray Unleashed and and she. Yeah, I did hesitate. And you know what, Gabby, I apologize. I folded.
How do you spell it?
Speaker 1 (01:04:01.0)
mailed her some art?
Speaker 1 (01:04:09.378)
folded it up into an envelope.
Speaker 1 (01:04:15.251)
Why don't you use like pirate ships?
First of all, I don't even know what that is, because I don't get out much.
Pirate ship are it's a because that's part of when you say their name you have to say if you say pirate you have to do that but you can mail anything on pirate ship and It just prints out the label and it pays the post. Why would you go to the post office?
Do you? I didn't go to the- that's why it's folded in an envelope because I could just stick it in my mailbox.
Where did you go to get the stamps?
Speaker 2 (01:04:50.23)
A long time! Yes! No! No, actually, hang on.
The post office!
Speaker 1 (01:04:55.758)
I don't I craw I'm with you. didn't see him as a stamp collector either, but he's obviously a collector because
Like, me.
Speaker 2 (01:05:05.376)
ordered
Jonathan, I'm pretty sure it's males because you that would hurt if he nailed by the hurts. You can't do that.
I don't know if I'm, honestly, I don't remember. Hold on, you're gonna love this.
But why, Marianne, I've a bunch of stamps of the Lord. Why would you, what are you mailing?
Bro, stop for one second.
Speaker 1 (01:05:28.152)
come in and start hyperventilating in a minute.
Anyway, in December, when the Christmas stamps came out, because we mail Christmas cards, not to you anymore, I bought a ton, like right before the price of stamps went up, because they're forever stamps, and Christmas tends to come around the calendar every year. So yes, I have a stockpile of stamps that I paid whatever the hell price was, 68.
I didn't want it anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:05:58.296)
Do you not have a wife to take care of that stuff?
And I think when I was there, when I these other ones.
What does she do all day?
She does the cards, I get the stamps.
Wow, she can't get the stance into the cards? Is that just too much of a workload?
Speaker 2 (01:06:12.878)
hung up on stamps, bro. So yes, so I remember now I paid 68 cents because they were about to jump to 73 and now they're about to jump to 78. And so, ha ha ha, jokes on you when the price of stamps goes up a nickel. who saved $2.25, this guy, because I bought him early.
Why?
my gosh, if it's another question about the post officer stamps, I'm gonna disconnect you!
I think I can answer this question myself. question? no. no.
Speaker 1 (01:06:52.174)
Yeah, I got it. Okay, that's why he does it. All right, nevermind. Sorry, I didn't know about your disability. I apologize. I apologize. I didn't know about your disability. The thing was, the thing, stop.
fucking
Speaker 2 (01:07:06.166)
Yeah, I don't want to talk about it. Hold on a second. Actually, hold on. Look at this. Julie says, Brad is old school. That's not true in the case of I don't know what pirate ship is. have no idea. I am so old school. I don't even know the reference. My god.
Pirate ship dot com is which is a clever play on words, but pirate ship dot com is a You all you do is well like in the case of you mailing art to Gabby instead of folding it up and putting an envelope you would have put it in a manila envelope or a vanilla envelope or something
How much would it have cost? That pisses me off too. Anyway, so how much does that cost?
I don't beat me because you just go into pirate ship and they it tells you how much you weigh it. Yeah, I print the label and you still put it in your mailbox and then she would have gotten the art without it being all full.
73 cents! paid 73 cents!
Speaker 1 (01:07:58.144)
Okay, but you still, you went to the freedom cost of buck five. didn't go anywhere. Right. You would have still put it in the mailbox. You wouldn't have had to step foot one into a post office, which is always a frustrating experience because you walk in and it's just because you look around and you think, right. I mean, and wait a second, because I know some post people and,
GO FUCK
Speaker 2 (01:08:20.984)
We need to.
Speaker 1 (01:08:26.964)
Most of them aren't nuts. Most. Most of them are not nuts. And God rest his soul, we just lost Peter Seraphim last week, week before. And he was a postal service. But by lost him, I don't mean he's lost. I mean, he died.
Yeah, I was trying to keep him employed for all these years because some of us go into the post office.
Right, well, he was one of the sane ones. Why isn't always the good ones that go? Why can't the dicks of the world?
Wait, you and I are still here.
Case in point, right?
Speaker 1 (01:09:03.63)
Douche you cannot say douchebag. can't I'm I'm tired of this argument. I really am. Thank you. Keith cross says for what where is the scale sue says by a scale? They're not that hard
So you have to buy a skit
Well, I did at one point in time I did have an and not to say I don't still have an eBay Empire but I did have a bigger eBay Empire and So I had to have a little scale It's just a little scale and it's good for the side gig of selling drugs and so you can weigh out You know how many grams whatever and and and I'm gonna have to use the scale when I send out the the Star Trek tri quarter that we that we Ockied off this week on the Daily Mojo that went to Kevin K and actually
It has sound and everything. And this was the first 3D printed project that we did from the Michael V Center for Research and Embellishment. And kind of cool looking, huh? This is like 21st century model making.
dude.
Speaker 2 (01:10:04.694)
That is very cool.
Speaker 2 (01:10:08.634)
Let me just say one more thing on the whole stamp thing, which by the way, good point, Big Air Bear. This old dude's stamp discussion is lasting longer than Monday's Space Ride. That's a fact.
But I will say.
I feel sick.
gonna say I can go to the freaking post office one time and buy lots of stamps and then all I have to do is peel them and put them on an envelope and oh hold on hold on your ass is you went to get a scale buy a scale now every time you go to mail something I have to weigh it and then I have to I have to do the work for the post office for them like it's
Is life a journey or is it a destination? Don't you want to enjoy the process ascending something? When Gabby gets something, don't you really, don't you want to enjoy the pro? It's like, it's like bowel movements. You enjoy the process of the whole thing. You enjoy the go. Everybody has to, well, male in this case, not, but don't you want to enjoy the process?
Speaker 2 (01:10:57.911)
commercial.
Speaker 2 (01:11:18.251)
my gosh, I wanna move on to something else.
Which was a, did you watch Black Mirror?
No, no, and I still use and I still use stamps.
black mirrors why do i even why no
What does he stop? What does he stop? He lied to my friends with you! He couldn't dare!
Speaker 1 (01:11:36.702)
No, I looked down here and I saw what Julie said and no, we do not want to know. don't, women don't do that. They don't, we don't want to know when we know and that the commercial where the woman is jogging down the street and the woman, hey, and then the woman goes, yeah, I just pooped and you're like, shut up. I don't want to know that because no.
No, that's fact.
Speaker 2 (01:12:01.09)
it out.
You should. If you weren't busy going to the post office, you could stay up on all the hip color.
Honestly, this time of year, if the commercial isn't on during the Atlanta Braves stream, then I haven't seen it and there's only four commercials. It's about like the Blaze honestly and we have like four commercials that we run. for promos and it's just like
run over.
You know I should have people that do those commercials live. Wouldn't that be more fun?
Speaker 2 (01:12:31.042)
Hold up, time out, time out. What's that? look, Ed's on the phone. He says he's willing to make some.
Speaker 1 (01:12:42.732)
You can't call people, dude. Does Ed have an action figure yet?
That seems like too much work. Like I could get to the post office and back. the action figure thing, feel like I have to like type in all these descriptors and stuff. I'm like, I'm not.
I
by the time we-
Speaker 1 (01:12:57.76)
I didn't even know this was a thing. Except somebody, it Wisconsin Jack Hole yesterday, the day before, action figures of me and Ron. And I was like, I don't look like that. I'm still pretty sure I don't look like that. But they made wonky Ron's wonky. It's somewhere on Twitter. I could probably find it. But Ron's wonky eye was so wonky that it just like was closed. But I didn't know it was a thing doing the action figures.
And then.
I feel like everyone on Twitter has done it but me.
I
Speaker 1 (01:13:36.974)
They're not even, I find out now they're not real. They're not like in the physical world.
Right, GROK, think, right? GROK. I don't know where you go. It's either GROK or chat GPT. You type in, make me into an action figure. And then it started asking me all these questions. I forgot which one I was using. And it said, tell me all this stuff. I was like, screw this. I got things to do, like not watch movies that have been out for 40 years.
I go, where do
Speaker 1 (01:14:00.184)
Well, Sue, let's see, let me put this over here so you can, because Sue just said, you need to update my photo on the, to that, because that right there is the, that's Grok. When Grok made me into, I can't even remember what the prompt was. It was something along the lines of make me, know, protecting this damsel in distress, whatever, use my profile picture. And then I love that I'm like in a loin cloth, but still wearing the headphones.
Which is funny, but I don't think I look like that. Do I look like that? Does my face look?
You might end up looking like that if you let your beard grow out. I don't know.
Does I, because I don't, like the nose isn't right, is it?
Was the dam so worth saving though? You know what mean?
Speaker 1 (01:14:46.478)
She was, can't looked like she was like 12, so I feel uncomfortable answering that question, even though she's not real. But I just, you know how you look at a picture of you and you don't, because you don't know how everybody else sees you, do you?
I guess not.
And I don't know how I see it.
Brad, Brad, how do you see me?
is the beautiful hunk of very, all that attract.
Speaker 2 (01:15:11.278)
the
I don't know if I see you as you see you or not and I certainly don't know that I see me as others see me but I just don't feel like that's how I look and recently
But yeah, I'm listening.
Grok thinks that for some reason I have, mean, am technically, I'm African-American. I mean, I don't dispute that, but it thinks I'm a little tanner than I am. What is it, Tegerebert? I guess it's not a plastic, Tegerebert, what kind of, okay, that's retard. A 3D printer.
You could use your.
Speaker 2 (01:15:49.068)
Hold on, what is that material that it's using?
plastic? Well, no, necessarily. It's well, yeah, plastic printer. Did he not forget like a preposition or something? mean, Brad has plastic. What is he caveman? I'd have plastic printer.
And so Brad has a plastic.
Speaker 2 (01:16:08.066)
Well, you look like the caveman though.
I do. Well, that's the ironic part of the story. But if you do get the little handheld scanner that you can, we've considered doing that as something to sell on the like little bobbleheads of us, which is amazing that we can do that. Right. It's amazing that we can, you know, take files and create, you know, props from, you know, TV show. Can you imagine if they'd had these printers back in the 60s when they were doing this? But it's weird that we can do that. The technology is wild.
But the thing is, this other, the action figures, when I saw this, I was like, wait. So they're not even real, but there's a problem with the action figures because.
Hey, hang on, on, hang on. Let me address something and then you make this point. Uh, Jonathan has a great question. I w always want to take the opportunity to address this whenever I can. Speaking of, uh, uh, updating Keith, can you get the blaze to delete commercial show promos from before January? Yeah, I was kind of alluding to that. I want to make the point, uh, again, uh, whenever I get the chance, uh, there's absolutely nothing that I say at the blaze that will ever, uh, be followed up on just so you know, do the opposite just to spite me.
To undress Jonathan?
Speaker 1 (01:17:27.918)
As of fact, they might do the opposite.
honestly okay so the AI action figure trend isn't the problem the digital carbon footprint is holy crap I don't know who Anna Appleton Clayton is but she's gonna be fun what is this
Yeah, right. Can you imagine her at a party?
Imagine her in that little space penis trapped in there and just, mean, with all those other clicking hens.
Anyway, did you say clucking? OK, I just was just checking. anyway, it's the what was the one of the first lines in this is that CPUs are they use energy. it's not and this is such a stupid argument. I can't believe it. But the because you're using AI to generate
Speaker 2 (01:17:56.76)
Fucking HEN
Speaker 1 (01:18:22.914)
these fantasy objects that don't exist. They exist in zeros and ones that you are using energy, electricity going through your computer and that's causing the earth to die. mean, that's it pretty much in a nutshell, right? The images themselves are fun. The technology behind them is impressive. They highlight something we don't talk about enough. The environmental cost of digital activity.
Holy crap.
Speaker 1 (01:18:51.136)
more specifically the growing carbon footprint of AI because, there's a number in here too. It often comes as a surprise to people that the interwebs generate carbon emissions at all, but it does. A lot of it, in fact, 3.7 % of global emissions come from the interweb.
Speaker 1 (01:19:13.512)
According to eco-friendly web alliance.
fun. This chick's a lot of fun.
I want to know the eco-friendly web alliance. That's more. Okay, wait. So at 3.7 % of global emissions, they're saying that by you out there doing fun stuff on your computer, you're creating a bigger carbon footprint than the entire aviation industry.
These people are freaking insane.
Okay, so okay, I agree with you 100%. Okay, I want to get that out there.
Speaker 1 (01:19:48.108)
I feel a butt coming.
It's not a but. Yeah, there's a but. I agree with you 100%. But.
But.
And I'm not saying I agree with this, but isn't this the same kind of argument that mining for Bitcoin? Okay. Same argument. It's energy consumption. So while I disagree with complaining and bitching about this from I just did the article writer and the people that are upset about Bitcoin and everything. Okay. Mining. just they should shut up. Okay. But
Can say pitching?
Speaker 1 (01:20:24.554)
Yes, my holes should be clamped off.
I think that I have a story that is actually worse than that as far as eco insanity. You ready?
I'm ready. Hold on, let me get ready.
Discover Magazine has an article for us. Headline is, owning a dog does extensive environmental damage. Here's how to lower the toll.
You want the dog?
Speaker 2 (01:20:47.483)
No, no, you do not walk the dog because if you walk the dog the dog poops in this article on multiple
occasions.
I see. W-W-W-W-W
Here's a quote from the article.
This guy is Bill Bateman, a review author and a behavioral ecologist at of so yes, the quote from him is,
Speaker 1 (01:21:34.806)
Master Bateman Kirk
Speaker 2 (01:21:45.678)
Many owners simply don't realize the environmental damage dogs can cause from disturbing wildlife to polluting ecosystems Yeah, if your dog chases a rabbit It's damaging The ecosystem you agree you agree my article is Trying to make a point is worse at making a point than than your article
The tongue factor is like
was Tard Factor 10. My article is Tard Factor 11.
It goes to 11. I just, the, I, mm, yes.
People can vote. Yeah, I know they can make other.
Speaker 2 (01:22:29.262)
So listen to this when they're outside dogs bark and chase after animals and when they're indoors they leave their traces behind Dogs leave scents sce ntc's which can disrupt animal behavior long after the dogs have left they're complaining about the odor the scent that your dog leaves behind that other animals will smell and go my gosh another dog this person wants no life
I'm planning to burn it all over the floor.
Speaker 2 (01:22:59.02)
doesn't want no human life, it wants no life at all! This is unbelievable, bro! How do these people live?
Are they okay? Is there any evidence that per who is that Sam? Walters I just yeah, I mean
you want to he's real? No, that's good. That's good. Bill Bateman is the name. No, no, No, I don't think it is. Master.
Master. Master Bateman.
I think, mean, don't know. Sam Walter.
Speaker 2 (01:23:26.722)
It's because you can't use the word master. That's the only reason it's Okay, it's.
that's right.
Sorry, my sleeves were itching.
Speaker 2 (01:23:39.246)
What was the Sam? Where are you getting?
Sam. It says right there by Sam Walters.
yeah, okay. Sam Walters, you're gonna look at Discover Magazine. Is he even a real person?
Discover Retardation, read our magazine. I remember when Discover used to be good.
That's what I was saying when I was reading this article. I kept checking the source. I'm like, is this the Discover channel?
Speaker 1 (01:24:01.582)
It's like, no, it's not Discovery Channel. had nothing to do with them. Discover Magazine was good.
I'm gonna try to get a visual aid for this article. Talk about me some more, hang on.
That's a good idea and we can actually just look a few things up on the interweb. Half the time when you see these articles, they're not even written, half the time probably is an overstatement, but they're not even real people. I mean, they create these people that aren't real, hence that MFer is not real. And they write these articles.
that are completely bogus and you cannot trust a damn thing. There was, and to that end, let me see if I still have it open. I don't think I do because I was, and I'll let you in on little secret this morning. No, not that secret. But the other secret is that if you use Google Notebooks, I think it's called Notebook or Notebooks, you can go in there and you can feed it sources.
I we talked about this before. can feed it sources that are real or not, and it will come up. It will create an instant podcast discussing your theories. I was working on it this morning, I think I was bored. But I came up with a... I know, I should have been. My mom always said, you should collect stamps. I thought she was stupid. Now she's dead. How am going to apologize? But...
Speaker 2 (01:25:31.852)
You should go to the post office next time you're bored.
Speaker 1 (01:25:42.67)
I did a whole article on or podcast rather on how Saturday morning cartoons were destroyed by A, the increasing wages for union cartoonists and B, that it started moving into and I had Grok come up with a couple of fictitious cartoon monsters that depicted these cartoons eating kids.
And that was part of the reason that Saturday morning cartoons went away. And Grok even came up with a name for this monster. It was called the Chompzilla the Munchisaur.
nice!
That was what Grok came up because, and I started thinking, boy, if there's somebody on the other end of this, looking at what I'm doing and they're thinking, what is he? I shouldn't do. So he came up with this Chomzilla the Munchisaur and he, and I said, yeah, that's good. He said, glad you like it. Should we give Chomzilla the Munchisaur a quirky catchphrase to go with that name? I'm like, yeah, what's his catchphrase? And the catchphrase that Google came up with for Chomzilla the Munchisaur is,
the
Speaker 1 (01:27:04.744)
Nibble now, snuggle later.
Speaker 2 (01:27:10.334)
Okay.
is AI coming up with the name. And I said perfect. And Grok said awesome. Anything else we can do to add to Chomsillo the Munchisaurus Wild World? Maybe a goofy sidekick or a favorite snack. And I suggested yeah, favorite snack. How about an ear or an eyeball? And Chomsillo the Munchisaurus favorite snack, Grok says, definitely pickled eyeballs. He loves the way they pop.
That sounds like... no, but...
Speaker 2 (01:27:32.878)
Holy
Speaker 1 (01:27:40.556)
with a tank.
my gosh, this sounds like some twisted person program.
We know and he's the one to those eyeballs a weird flavor to make it even goopier.
is happening?
I was like, yeah, Grok, you're my kind of, and no response. wait. He said, sure. And they didn't give a response. And I said, how about they taste like toe fungus? And he's like, that is gloriously gross. Chomsilodermuchasaur can't resist pickled eyeballs with a funky toe fungus flavor. He says it's like a moldy, zesty explosion in his mouth. Should we toss in a side dish to go with this bizarre treat? And that's where I left it. And I said, and it wouldn't do this.
Speaker 1 (01:28:21.742)
Because I said, in this picture of Chomsila and this kid, let's have the monster eating a piece of the kid. Because I wanted to see how far I could take it. And it wouldn't create that. Here's what it gave me instead. And it would not show. I said, and put blood around the kid's mouth. Can you see that yet? I didn't know if showed.
What?
Speaker 1 (01:28:51.904)
It showed up over there. I'm sorry. Am I boring you? So anyway, this is the Tomzilla, the much asor and the kid. said, well, instead of making the blood red, make the blood green. So I was like, okay, I can make the blood green.
This is, I mean, we're getting to a place here. Audio, video, what's real, what's not, you're not gonna be able to.
No.
Speaker 1 (01:29:10.981)
And look at dude's eyes over there.
yeah, he's concerned. Now the guy behind him though is looking to make love with the monster.
He really does. That is a loving, that's like aw.
I always wanted a... ...kid eating monster with me. Today's my chance. Yeah, yeah, that's
you doing? Right? Is that Jeff Zucker? No, that's Jeff Zucker and Greg Brady had a child that would be that would be the
Speaker 2 (01:29:35.086)
I. So I want to play you talk about cartoons I hadn't planned on on doing this but you know. Ed McRae is he was a guest on the Thursday deep dive about the underrated founders. He sent me.
Under what?
Underrated founders.
That's how you say it, underage founders.
What kind of country are they? Good question. Okay, so let me let me get this screen to share.
Speaker 1 (01:30:01.272)
for me.
Speaker 1 (01:30:07.599)
Brock know to put Ron and his wonky eye in the picture. That's Julie's leaving does she have to go have another bowel movement
hang on. on. OK, so I want you to see this. This is a never before seen Tom and Jerry episode.
Great audio though, right? on. Where's the speaker? is there no audio? there is no audio on this. That's right. There's no audio on this. I'm sorry. Here we go. So here we go. Here we go. Never before seen Tom and Jerry episode. see, look, he's got a job in the big city. There's a little Tom, I guess his first day at work gets on the old elevator. that's awesome. Elevator, yeah. All right. So he puts his bag down. He's getting to work. Look at him. He's up there and...
said.
Speaker 1 (01:30:53.806)
That's it, I'm out here.
Speaker 2 (01:30:59.598)
It's like he's in New York City and then all of a sudden, Jerry had trouble making mouse. no, Jerry, easy. Jerry, Tom's pee.
Wait, there's sound to that. Isn't there sound on that? You sure?
No, there's not.
Speaker 2 (01:31:16.652)
Okay, here we go. Good job. Good job. See? You're See, he's gonna get back to where... no! What? And he moved the hole!
Speaker 2 (01:31:30.939)
no, Spike is trying to do a board meeting and Tom's like, hey, there's a mouse.
It's Mike.
Speaker 1 (01:31:37.774)
It's really odd that there's no audio on that.
Right. Aha, Jerry's laughing. It's all funny. You want to know why there's no audio on that? It's because you just watched a completely AI-generated Tom and Jerry cartoon.
Uh-uh. I don't believe you.
Okay, I don't give two shits, believe me, I'll show you.
Speaker 2 (01:32:01.902)
Look at this, look at that right there. Below is one of the videos created by Nvidia that shows Tom working as an office employee in the World Trade Center. At first glance it looks impressive, but watch for a few seconds it quickly falls apart with illogical performance, weird objects, inconsistent hookups, and only the famous suggestion of coherent storytelling. While this is an experiment and should be viewed in the context of the goals it's set out to achieve, it only serves to show that AI is still many years away from generating. I don't know, it's getting close.
I hope it is not many years from generating
I know, I know. And so here we go. It just explains the, we just saw. It's basically a script. There's another one. You want to watch this?
That to me that that was I didn't think that was an incoherent story at all. mean, I oddly followed it.
I don't know what just happened
Speaker 1 (01:32:51.594)
That was an ocean fart.
Tom is. Yeah, Tom's sneaking up on Jerry. I didn't know mice could swim that well.
Or cats were better. Cats, my man. Again, this isn't incoherent at all. Right. It's typical Tom and Jerry. They're not, it's not, not only is it not years away from being able to create something.
Wait!
Speaker 2 (01:33:18.6)
I mean, if this were on, assuming it had sound or whatever, and I'm walking in through a room and the kids are- I would think, yeah, I haven't seen this Tom and Jerry and I thought I'd see them all, you know?
profound
Speaker 1 (01:33:25.634)
Think twice about it.
Speaker 1 (01:33:31.075)
And this is the public thing. There's Bruce the shark.
Right and Tom or Jerry has some gold there
Bruce the shark was from Finding Nemo.
Well, it's well Bruce the shark has some jaws. that's why they won't. That's why in Finding Nemo, they call
Speaker 2 (01:33:55.138)
Yes, I've seen Joe. You don't need to say that. Hold on a second. Hold on. This isn't making sense. How are they buddies? Look at that. They're having a good time. mean, sometimes they did have a good time.
Well, yeah, they they talked. They weren't always that easy. It's just the typical married relationship. That's awesome.
What's this guy? He's like, what? No, okay. don't know how. Okay. huh.
There's only one ball deep. That's the red ball. There's nothing incoherent about this, I don't think at all.
Well, I mean, it kind of is, since he just left the screen and then came back. OK.
Speaker 1 (01:34:28.608)
It's a cartoon. did that already.
That's true, but I mean, this is the dumbest one of the three. Like Jerry, now, okay, this is where the conflict arises, because Jerry's like, man, you're stupid, your ball is red. And then, now watch me, I can do this, okay. I don't know.
We'll it.
Is he kicking the ball? What is that? That's.
I don't know. he gets the prize. He knocked it over. So somebody, okay. Now Jerry's never flexed. That's weird.
Speaker 1 (01:34:59.886)
Well, he just did, so clearly he has flexed.
Okay, so we got three of them here, huh?
Who wrote that? I'm like.
Speaker 1 (01:35:10.862)
Can you see what's on the screen right now over on mine? No, it's still because I know. right, so I can't. I know how to show you that because it did. I created another because tomorrow on Saturday morning live. Jeffy and I, when we get together and the episode is called Babes in Space and the only reason it's called Babes in Space is because that was catchy and it was an excuse to have Grok make.
monster?
Speaker 1 (01:35:39.978)
babes and bikinis in front of a rocket. But it made one of the girls cross-eyed. And I wonder, did it do it on purpose? Does it know what cross-eyed is? And if this is the stuff that we can do, if this is available to the public, imagine what is available right now to the government and what they can get away with.
That feels like a segue into a video I'd like to play. And this is why I love having you here all the time. Just love having you.
I just, that's why I get the big.
checks in the mail but some people don't. Yeah you don't want me using the stamp and so therefore it's not in the mail.
You have this stamp.
Speaker 1 (01:36:27.074)
That was a real movie, Cross says. I don't know what movie it was. Beats me. Sue says, I love Saturday Morning Live. And I love you, Long time. Cats don't like water. Ask Doc Kitty. I know, right?
All right. So you've seen this guy, right? You've seen this clip making the rounds. Let's just play it. And those maybe haven't seen this is a White House. There's a Trump administration feller. And what was the presentation he was at? I forget what this is. Yeah, sure. He's the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Michael Kratzios. And listen up.
It's about building a strong America.
Speaker 1 (01:37:06.136)
We seem to have lost focus and vision to have lowered our sights and let systems and structures and bureaucracies muddle us along. But we are capable of so much more. Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow and improve productivity.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:37:28.034)
We seem to have lost focus and vision to sites and laboratories and bureaucrats along. But we are capable of so much more. Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. So was that a reference to super-de-duper alien stuff? Or was he just talking about how it doesn't take, you know,
wait, was. What did he say? Time and time and space.
Speaker 2 (01:37:42.762)
Come on now.
Speaker 1 (01:37:58.796)
Back in the day, like when, you know, when Jeffy was a kid and they had to get in the covered wagons and stuff and go to, you know.
Okay, but it doesn't have to be alien stuff. It could be our government, you know, because he's talking about the government.
But that's what I'm saying. Is he talking about super-duper secret, top secret stuff? Or is he just commenting on the capabilities of modern life in the modern age?
Hypothetically, you could maybe make a make a plane disappear. If you could manipulate time and space.
Yeah. would be ironically. Ironically, it would take three balls to do that.
Speaker 2 (01:38:33.102)
7
Speaker 2 (01:38:37.08)
Gosh. No, you're not wrong. Orbs. think that the word groping for now there's this guy and this is interesting. This is Lieutenant something. I don't think so. He's at Hillsdale College giving a speech. Energy.
I wrong? Okay, thanks. What's a ball?
Speaker 1 (01:38:50.711)
That Lieutenant Dagen?
Speaker 1 (01:38:55.384)
Energy, seed corn of all development, all growth, all survival, energy. So energy, transportation, information and manufacturing, these are the things that change humanity, it will change world power and they are descending upon us in ways that are very unique. The technology is on the engineering benches today, but most Americans and most in Congress have not had time to really look deeply at what's going on here. But I've had the benefit
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:39:25.29)
of 33 years of studying and becoming friends with these engineers and these scientists.
This technology can be built today with technology that is not developmental to deliver any human being from any place on planet earth to any other place in less than an hour. To deliver wifi from space where you never need a cell tower to connect. To deliver energy from space where you never have to plug your phone in and it trickle charges and you can use that energy over time. It can be applied to cars, to houses.
Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on.
He's talking about zero point energy.
Okay, let's go through these one at a time, because it just clicked with me. See, my brain isn't awake enough in the morning on Pat Cray to think all this stuff through. Hold on. I think he's talking futuristic stuff that could be ready today. But some of this stuff may already be kind of in existence, right? Because he's not talking about teleportation. He's saying you'd be on other side of the Earth in an hour, less than an hour. I don't know how the fastest plane is, but...
Speaker 1 (01:40:32.866)
This technology can be built today with technology that is not developmental to deliver any human being from any place on planet Earth to any other place in less than an hour.
I don't know how long it would take you to get halfway around the Earth. But anyway, hold on. The next one, though.
to deliver WiFi from space. Starling. Where you never need a cell tower to connect. Right, right, To deliver.
Okay, that's, yeah, Starlink, yeah.
the
Speaker 2 (01:41:05.314)
That one, that one. Okay, that's what that one is.
Well, the ironically going back to Discover Magazine, because I'm pretty sure it was Discover. I remember and I've had a number of people, Michael V being one of them, who is again the major donor here who created the Michael V Institute for all that good stuff. Anyway, he looked for it for me. He couldn't find it. But I remember in the late 90s in Discover Magazine, there was an ad and
Bye!
Speaker 1 (01:41:40.908)
I'm paraphrasing here, but it essentially said, imagine a vase in this room. Now imagine in the next room, in an instant, we have the technology to do it. And I cannot find that. I know I wasn't dreaming and I know I wasn't drunk.
you hate it when when you know you've seen something or yes and
and bugs the hell out of me. But it was in Discover Magazine. It was an ad for some company.
Now, I'm not saying that this is what happened to you, okay? But, you feel another but coming? Okay, that's the ultimate boomer move when you accidentally turn your phone's light on.
Speaker 1 (01:42:31.214)
Is that Boomer?
Yeah, that's I feel boomer when I do that
There's so many buying stamps, would argue is a pile on the list.
Okay, but I'm not saying that this is what happened with your Discover Magazine article, but I had to buy the old school analog version, if you will, of a Rolling Stone magazine because they took it off the internet. They took the article I wanted off the internet. Really? And so it's sitting downstairs because I wanted to read it and it's about this horrific, horrific study.
Why'd you buy it?
Speaker 2 (01:43:09.87)
Basically changing the genders gender of a boy of twin they were experimented on by this sadistic fuck and anyway
remember that story. Yeah, one of them was. Yeah.
And basically it blows everything out of the water when it comes to trans nonsense. And Rolling Stone magazine took that off of offline. And so, you know, I bought the hard copy, if you will, and.
It's something else. It's a hell of an article, man.
Ironically, guess, to two ironic moments in the past three minutes, what are the odds? But look up Renee Richards views on trans in sports and women's sports now. That's why you never hear Renee Richards quoted during the arguments about men and women's sports. Well, Renee Richards now believes that
Speaker 2 (01:43:46.221)
Bingo of stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:44:08.526)
been removed,
Speaker 1 (01:44:13.166)
women's support to be protected. And for those of you who are under 130 years old, Renee Richards back in the 70s was, what was his name? Richard Bob something. Anyway, he became Renee Richards and he's still a doctor. Would you get operated on by Renee Richards? Because anyway, but.
She would go like three balls deep into the tennis court until she couldn't because they weren't there anymore. And back then, she argued that she should still be allowed to compete in tennis matches and actually was able to, but now has 180'd on her viewpoint.
Interesting.
And that's why they don't quote Renee Richards anymore.
And what happened with these twins, I can't think of their names and I can't Google them while I'm sitting here. I'd have to go again downstairs and not find what I'm looking for. And it was a circumcision gone wrong.
Speaker 1 (01:45:19.228)
Yes, I do. I remember that.
And then the parents got convinced. Yeah, we'll just look He'll be a girl everything will be fine and The science said no everything won't be fine and it ended so tragically because he knew he was clearly a boy and Felt like it anyway Committed suicide and his brother. I think committed suicide. It was just so tragic Yep. Okay, so but you're talking about changing the
the digital record and whatnot, chat GPT is now able to remember even more of your old conversations. So now it's going to have a memory as the like it hadn't before, right? I mean, come on. course, everything we search for, everything we type is saved somewhere. If not by chat GPT, if not by Google, by the NSA.
It always do.
Speaker 1 (01:46:15.416)
Yes.
Every I say Google, yes, you're creeping me out. My phone's lighting up. Stop it.
Don't ask Siri to do something.
like you would Alexa by condoms. Yes. Don't do that.
See,
Speaker 2 (01:46:32.27)
Well, I try to be nice. I try. But why? Because I don't want, like if it were me, like I would be kind of pissed if someone said, Alexa, buy me a thousand toothpicks and pay for the overnight delivery. Like I'd hate that.
Right, that would suck. That would, that would suck. Yes, the question is.
Hey, I a quick I got a question for you. If you had a dog go missing, right? Like you had this dog for just maybe a year or two and then it disappeared and then 11 years later, it showed up at a pound and they called you and the dog had run off by the way. Because because let's say you were in the process of moving and then your dog of a year or two. I think it was vanishes. Shows up 11 years that you want a dog back.
Checking.
No. Little bastard. Right? I hate that dog.
Speaker 2 (01:47:31.79)
I write and the dog doesn't deserve the owner
dog made the choice 11 years ago, the dog could live with the consequences.
right? So I'm with you. I'm sorry. What a dumb dog. And, but the dog doesn't deserve the owner, but the owner doesn't deserve the dog either because she had named the dog snuggles. Your name and animals like that.
You come out of this upbeat record and dog death dedication. Where are those pictures that Bob promised me last week?
Casey Kasem at his best. Let's see. What do you want to finish with here? What time is it? got 15 minutes. I mean, no, I mean, yes.
Speaker 1 (01:48:18.542)
Are you finishing already?
Speaker 1 (01:48:25.838)
The of us aren't done yet.
I'm gonna say, what's happening? I wanna play this for you. Let play this. You see this art? You see this art here? Hang on a second. This right here is...
to do.
Speaker 1 (01:48:38.142)
My kind of. In those cheeks, he's really, my god, yo!
What the...
my... He's up in the... Racked him.
I wish I was. Yes, it was. Because it is they were doing work on a on a statue in the.
Hey, that wasn't real. How do you know?
Speaker 1 (01:49:09.198)
His cheeks, he's really, my God. Yo.
What the...
my... He's up in the...
Yeah, he's up in the
What was?
Speaker 1 (01:49:28.078)
It got so big, was like big, that butt was over the top of both of us. It was huge, immense. But how do we know it's real?
Is that not a legitimate question though? I mean, we just saw Tom and Jerry that we thought was real. And it wasn't. And now you're expecting us to believe a what?
me a favor.
Google... Not you. Google... Statue... Worker... Up the...
of the box. See what you get. Let's see what your browsing history finds.
Speaker 1 (01:50:12.91)
Google is it you're having trouble there is help you're not alone
You know, do you think anyone's tried to insert one of those digital action figures up their digital butt?
Speaker 1 (01:50:34.644)
mean, because you know, hear about the other stuff. Tall art, but
What websites are you going to, bro?
think you I don't think you have to act. mean, my butt.com. know. Is it? it? Hold on. It's in my butt.com. It's in my butt.com. Did you? one never knows. That's one. What is that?
TheBudstories.com.
Speaker 2 (01:51:04.244)
what. no. No no no hold on hold on not sharing that screen.
Why in the hell would
Speaker 1 (01:51:11.476)
No, this is weird because I was looking up butt stuff and this came, but this is a Shutterstock stock photo. I mean, what story would you ever, that's a paint roller. I thought that was a giant straw.
Hashtag butt stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:51:30.734)
It is getting cocaine off of.
I bet that's what it looked like to me. It looked like a giant straw coming in from the right and...
this was on the Hunter Biden laptop.
That's a Shutterstock stock photo. So if you need to use that for a story, you can.
with paint.
Speaker 1 (01:51:49.986)
Why would you ever, you know what we need? We close up of a butt with a giant straw coming in. I can't find anything about giant butt stuff. Giant art, butt stuff, working, workers, twerking. If I put twerking in, got, holy cannolis, what is that? Why is this on the internet?
Okay, we're good.
Speaker 2 (01:52:16.375)
no.
I'm serious, why is he, okay, who drew this and why is it, which just again goes to show you that no matter what you think is weird, the internet says, hold my beer and then. What is that? Well, you don't have to, but what is that?
After the movie.
Speaker 2 (01:52:32.759)
I don't, can't tell. It's blah. A button. I just see blue. Do I really need to put this up here? I don't know what I'm putting up here.
It's
Speaker 1 (01:52:41.474)
that.
Okay.
And that is not seriously the...
Look, there are some really deranged people in this world doing some really deranged things in art.
I'll see your giant butt statue art and give you this.
Speaker 1 (01:53:06.281)
What is that?
I know what it is, it's a buttplug.
You know what that's from? It's not from the butt art sculpt. This is from 2014. This is in the Guardian. This is the Paul McCarthy butt plug sculpture in Paris.
No, I didn't know we're there.
Speaker 2 (01:53:30.008)
So they knew what they were doing.
just so random. Pairs no shorts towering column view, sculpture sections green. No, it's supposed to be a Christmas, it's an abstract Christmas tree.
Pfff, okay, stop it. No it's not. Are we just, maybe we're just sick.
Paris. Maybe we're just as little green abstracted Christmas tree. The law says it's provocative to her, whose aggressive sculptures installation videos have in the past depicted snow white in sexually compromised positions. Okay. Okay, in light of the horrible set of snow white video, which is worse. Figures wearing George Bush masks copulating with pigs.
had installed the inflatable sculpture in the middle of Paris elegant place, excuse me, Place des Vendons.
Speaker 1 (01:54:21.208)
Huh. At first I thought it said Paul McCartney's blood, which was like, when does he get?
So I want to play a video for you. It's a 22 second long video that I think is, I mean, this is art right here.
I'll get a tattoo of a butt. I'll get a tattoo of a butt on my butt. yeah? Yeah. Well I'll get a tattoo of a butt that has a butt shaped tattoo on it and I'll get it right on my butt. That would be cool.
That's art. That's art. That's art. can't even, I can't argue. I cannot. What shenanigans? I don't have shenanigans. Jonathan says Brad shenanigans plus Keith drinking is hilarious. What? don't. I had my shenanigans removed years ago. I only, there's not even a scar. That's how good the surgeon was. When you have your shenanigans removed and there's no scar left over.
That would be cool.
Speaker 2 (01:55:33.962)
Why can't I ever do something cool like this guy right here? it's because I don't have time, but no, I still think this is kind of cool.
Play the video Keith! Play the video! there's no audio? That's too bad.
So he moved the cop. That's kind of cheating.
he missed it. Is he ever gonna get it in? see, I wanna be happy for him, but I'm also a little-
but you know how many times it took him that they have a whole YouTube channel that they do that. And they sit there, they do these impossible things like throwing a pencil and getting into a straw. I mean, it's pretty impressive, but it takes them forever to do.
Speaker 2 (01:56:30.77)
I'm, you know what, that is a good idea. To show the behind the scenes, like it's not just a one and done, like, look at me, how awesome I am. That's actually really cool doing it that way.
One and done is an interesting way to put that. Keith, did the insulation come off on your hands?
yeah, for the most, well... I tried to do some spay foam... spray foam? I took a cat into the closet. I'm like, you're getting spayed today.
What insulation?
Speaker 1 (01:56:59.918)
I neutered a sheep once. well, you don't neuter it. You castrate it. Have you ever seen what a sheep does when you castrate it?
It was okay. It was an FAA project.
FSA?
Now FAA, we did it for aviation.
I was in the FFA when I was in high school.
Speaker 2 (01:57:26.53)
Yeah, yeah, because you grew up in like, where did you where you're in a farm.
I wasn't in a farm community, well, technically maybe. mean.
Okay, hold on a second. This is the video I need to play for right now. This is a goat. Basically, this is a couple of goats that have decided that their lives suck and are so miserable, they would rather run into a fire.
What
Speaker 1 (01:58:20.558)
It's the end of the coin cycle!
Speaker 2 (01:58:28.366)
Okay, have a ques-
What in the hell?
I have a question. you get, you make the call. Are the goats that dumb or are they being that abused?
I was gonna say what is happening to them in the room that makes them want to jump into the fire and become goat barbecue.
I think we know.
Speaker 1 (01:58:52.526)
Have you ever eaten a goat?
I think we know what's been happening to the goats.
Speaker 1 (01:59:01.41)
I don't think that would fit.
I mean, you could fit the goat into the plug, but I don't think you know what if you put it in then blew it up, it would work. Since it's inflatable. What? That's what that's what men do we come up
One
