Insane benefits of injecting young plasma into me.

0:05

Anything good?

0:06

I don't I don't even know.

0:09

I mean, is it true?

0:10

Is it is it like the medical aisle at sprouts?

0:14

Well,

0:17

When I asked about

0:18

the concerns the FDA has in the bulletin

0:21

they put out in 2019, and I think last year about clinics

0:27

like hers, not saying the benefits of young plasma.

0:32

She did a great job of going around

0:35

everything that I say.

0:39

But here's the thing.

0:41

Apparently, if I go and get this young plasma,

0:45

I am going to have new vitality.

0:48

I will reverse my age.

0:50

And not only that, while I'm there, they have an olive cart

0:54

spread of things that I can partake in from,

0:59

you know, lasering my face injecting blood directly in the scalp.

1:03

She said something about a pea shot that helps my sexual libido.

1:08

And I'm not sure if that's, like, directly injecting my penis, but that's there.

1:13

But all sorts of things.

1:14

So basically, I can come out and be 21 years old in three days.

1:19

From what I understand.

1:20

But on the inside, on the outside, you'll still be a 75 year old man.

1:25

No, no. The opposite.

1:27

I specifically said, I don't give a shit about the cognitive benefits

1:30

or any of the other stuff that I just want to look good.

1:32

And she said, I quote, that's music to my ears.

1:38

So it's like, all right.

1:40

That's a great industry because you can't prove any of it works.

1:44

Or that it doesn't. Yeah.

1:45

And then when I said that, you know, what's RFK been doing?

1:50

Because I like the way he's looking these days.

1:53

She said that's peptides and things like that.

1:55

And, and so, you know, I could get that RFK look, if I want, which is I,

2:01

I think it's he kind of looks like the dancing raisin

2:05

people, but jacked.

2:08

That's what he reminds me of. But. Yeah.

2:09

How do you get that tint of red, I guess inbreeding.

2:14

I think it's h I think it's HGH. Really?

2:17

I just yeah.

2:18

That's the look of like you've been at the beach all day.

2:21

Yeah.

2:21

When you're on the kind of the growth hormone stuff

2:24

and testosterone, like, those dudes just get red.

2:28

That's just how it is, you know?

2:30

So whatever.

2:31

Your kid rock at the sauna, though. Yeah.

2:35

Kid Rock has

2:37

he got. He.

2:40

He has the body of every one of those hillbillies

2:43

my dad was friends with when I was younger.

2:45

It's like the.

2:46

It's the exact thing.

2:47

It's like a little. It's skinny. Fat is what it is.

2:50

It's a little pooch belly and these, like, skinny kind of flailing arms

2:54

and you know, it just kind of

2:57

he he could he has a body of like a 12 year old or 50 year old hillbilly.

3:03

Right.

3:04

It's no muscle has been exerted anywhere.

3:08

No. Yeah.

3:09

Yeah.

3:09

It's it's however heavy like a 12 pack of Budweiser is, is probably their.

3:16

That's their max.

3:18

Of pack a Schlitz.

3:20

I do want I have been interested

3:23

though in Kid rocks cruise that he does each year.

3:27

So he does a cruise where he loads up

3:30

a cruise ship with himself and all of his,

3:34

you know, his fans of of, I guess his album from 30 years ago.

3:39

But, it's basically like it's Jimmy Buffett

3:43

for the trailer park is what it is, basically.

3:46

Jimmy Buffett's already kind of it.

3:48

I guess that's more for the trailer park by the beach.

3:50

But no, you know that Jimmy Buffett is like the double wide

3:54

with the underside covered with, you know, siding.

3:58

And there's plants around it.

3:59

It's the gated community trailer park.

4:01

Yeah, yeah, kid. Rock's a. Kid.

4:04

Yeah.

4:04

Kid Rock is right by the railroad tracks.

4:07

There's the lawn is multiple cars and pieces.

4:12

Because that is the investment strategy.

4:15

If you you sell these pieces

4:17

and you hold on to some of them long enough, they'll be more valuable.

4:20

Like, that's, I think, his main clientele.

4:21

But the people go on the cruise ship.

4:25

I want to say

4:26

it's it's like mega people with more money

4:29

because they have to go on a cruise ship, you know, and that.

4:32

That's the people who flew the private jets to January 6th.

4:35

And they made it home by dinner. Yeah. Those.

4:37

Yeah.

4:37

Like they're all over Instagram of like, you know, about to invade the capital.

4:41

Not cool. Good for you guys.

4:43

Yeah.

4:43

It's a it's a similar thing, but it looks

4:47

if you want to understand the full electorate,

4:50

I think you have to go to one of those cruises.

4:53

Do you remember a late stage Cuba Gooding Junior movie when Hollywood

4:58

was having a hard time figuring out what to do with them, post Jerry Maguire,

5:02

and they put him in that film with Horatio Sanz,

5:05

where I don't think the movie is called Gay cruise, but it was.

5:10

I thought you were talking about radio at first.

5:12

Okay. It's some different.

5:15

Now you got me thinking

5:16

of the the film frequency, but I need to stay on track here.

5:20

So there's a film

5:21

where they go on a cruise, but they accidentally end up on a gay cruise.

5:24

And that's the joke, because early to late 90s, early 2000

5:28

was basically like, if you're homophobic, that's the punch line.

5:32

Yeah.

5:32

So I was like, what if you did an updated one

5:35

where it's a family trying to go on a Disney cruise,

5:37

but they end up on the kid Rock cruise on accident.

5:39

You know, it's that

5:41

that dumpy little music and they accidentally go left

5:44

instead of right, which would never happen in real life.

5:46

But if we're making a 90s comedy made by Miller, that's that's what you do.

5:49

But then who knows?

5:51

Maybe they fall in love with the the the white trash lifestyle

5:55

and and there's the invading the, the Capitol.

5:59

Yeah.

6:00

Well, there's also

6:01

there's a 13 year old daughter, main character that this, like, 50

6:05

something businessmen is desperately trying to, like, take out the dinner

6:08

the whole time.

6:10

And the father's, like, on the fence about it the whole time

6:13

because it's like, it's it's like a, indecent proposal type thing.

6:18

But but yeah, I loves her.

6:21

Yeah. He genuinely loves her. Yes.

6:24

That's the difference.

6:26

That could be a movie.

6:27

Just. Yeah. Yeah, I.

6:30

If you pitch that to, whatever,

6:32

Ben Shapiro's news network thing is,

6:36

You know, you have to do that.

6:37

You pitch it to whatever this merger comes out to be between Paramount,

6:42

you know, they need new content, and they're going to have an audience

6:45

who's open to it. Yeah.

6:46

Exclusively on Paramount Plus, HBO, WB, DC

6:52

plus is, MAGA Cruz or.

6:56

Yeah, I just call it Kid Cruz.

6:58

Kid Cruz. Yeah, for. Kid.

7:00

Yeah. Cruz. Rock. Yeah.

7:02

The well,

7:05

I met some of I think there were fans of his.

7:09

I went to, a backyard wrestling thing that was actually in a warehouse

7:12

this weekend. Yeah.

7:14

And people get up in the rafters.

7:17

No, they there's no way for them to climb up there, but,

7:20

there were ladders, but they were being used to smash over other wrestlers heads.

7:24

They're going to say,

7:25

they're being used to repair the facility they were currently wrestling in.

7:29

Yeah, it was definitely.

7:30

Yeah, it was definitely a warehouse industrial building

7:33

about the size of like an NBA basketball court.

7:38

And with a wrestling ring in the middle

7:40

and rows of seating around all the sides.

7:43

And the funny thing is they sell three tiers of tickets.

7:47

They sell front row, second, third row tickets and then rear row tickets.

7:52

Well and they're all different price levels.

7:55

It doesn't matter what ticket you buy.

7:57

You sit wherever you want.

7:59

And I asked, you know, the guys are going in.

8:02

I'm like, hey, you know, I got this ticket.

8:05

It's for the, you know, front row.

8:07

Like, where do I go? Like, I it's not quite clear.

8:09

And he goes, just go sit down, man.

8:11

And I was like, okay.

8:15

Yeah, silly man.

8:17

You bought a ticket for backyard wrestling.

8:18

I thought you had a reserved seating. Yeah.

8:22

And what's great, it's it's BYOB,

8:25

but there's also a cash bar, so that's good.

8:28

And if you know anything about Texas law

8:30

or actually most laws, you know, that's extremely illegal.

8:33

Yeah. And remember. Yeah.

8:36

And then a guy who was friends of a friend, that showed up there,

8:41

it didn't he bypass all that and he brought his own corn liquor, and

8:47

he had a bunch of mason jars

8:49

full of this corn liquor that he was passing around.

8:53

And it was, it's probably the most terrifying thing I've ever seen, but.

8:59

Oh, good.

9:00

Oh, I gotta turn off my, my headphones died so I got to get,

9:04

Hold on this. Okay.

9:06

This is talk Adam I always, I always slot out a part in here

9:10

when we doing the,

9:14

I'm hearing myself. Damn it.

9:16

I knew that would happen.

9:17

Okay. Didn't use headphones.

9:18

I just plug into it.

9:19

Good thing now they just died.

9:23

Headphones shouldn't die.

9:24

My headphones don't die. Well.

9:27

These plug in headphones.

9:28

I'm going up to get some.

9:29

More,

9:33

Tech support with Aaron.

9:34

My favorite segment of the show.

9:36

With me as I climb the stairs.

9:38

Okay, okay. I see some headphones.

9:40

I can. Use. It's lights up here.

9:44

They are all, wireless.

9:49

They will not work onward.

9:53

How can you hear me?

9:56

Yeah, but you can hear yourself, right?

9:59

Let's see.

10:00

I don't hear it so much. I do now.

10:03

Okay, man.

10:05

Hold on.

10:08

It's going to be good, I swear.

10:10

What year do you think it is?

10:13

You know,

10:15

it's a loaded question.

10:17

And now I'm looking for the headphones you sent me in the mail.

10:23

And I can't find them.

10:25

They're white. They're hard to. Miss. It's like.

10:27

Yeah, this. Is all getting cut out because I can just hear myself.

10:30

Echoing. Yeah.

10:32

Is it really echoing Beth. Okay.

10:34

Yes I mean I can hear myself.

10:35

It's distracting.

10:38

Two more seconds.

10:39

You're every nightmare.

10:42

Google me interview.

10:44

Yeah. Or it's just just.

10:48

It's either constant

10:49

background noise or I can hear that, hear my voice bouncing back.

10:53

And there's stupid MacBook Pro.

10:57

000. Okay.

11:01

Only you had known this meeting was coming.

11:03

What if I was on a fucking call?

11:05

With a crazy woman?

11:07

Dude, I don't know where there's wife.

11:09

I gave him back to me, I can't find. There they are.

11:11

Well done. Oh, this is exciting.

11:14

Hear me?

11:14

Yes. Can you hear me? Amazing. Wow.

11:17

I don't hear myself.

11:18

All right.

11:18

I'm looking up to the cheapest possible price.

11:22

Low to high wired headphones.

11:25

Found some for $0.01.

11:27

I'm going to buy these for you.

11:28

Do you want the $0.01 or the 69 cent ones?

11:32

I mean, I assume I want the 169 or 69 times the quality.

11:38

Actually, I'm going to I'm going

11:39

to give myself a budget of $20 and see how many headphones I can buy you.

11:43

You know, the funny thing is too, I'm not.

11:46

I totally forgot to plug this into the the Ethernet.

11:50

Yeah. So we've been wireless the whole time.

11:52

Yeah. But I'm going to plug it in now.

11:54

I need Had wired headphones I don't think China even makes

11:58

wired headphones anymore.

11:59

Not since their wire industry collapsed.

12:01

No, it's just they're constantly living in the future.

12:05

Yeah, I got it.

12:06

That he mute.

12:06

I got a team switch now.

12:08

now that I'm solid, where was I?

12:11

Backyard wrestling something or another.

12:15

Yeah.

12:15

So, the guy brings corn liquor.

12:18

Yeah. And, it.

12:21

Well, first of all, I was watching the wrestling,

12:23

I was watching, I think it was the second match.

12:25

And this mason jar full of what I assume was piss was just shoved

12:29

in front of my face, and I go, oh, what the what the hell is that?

12:34

And then this guy, a couple down goes like it's corn liquor.

12:38

And I was like, corn liquor from where?

12:41

He's like, from my house.

12:43

And I said, where?

12:45

How did you make this?

12:47

And he goes, oh, yeah. And I said, oh, okay.

12:49

So I held it to my lips and pretended to drink it, passed it back

12:56

because I didn't want to go blind, but whatever.

12:59

It was good.

13:01

The people there, that's what I brought this up.

13:05

Yeah, the people that they have, the strain of Covid

13:07

that hasn't come out yet, or they're they're past the new flu that we can't,

13:11

you know, get a cure for.

13:13

No, they're the silent carriers of Covid.

13:16

Yes. That that you that that never shows unless they are

13:20

one of their relatives is violently killed by it.

13:24

And then that's when they blame the doctors who were trying

13:27

to save them, that they say the doctors actually killed them.

13:30

But it was like another plot point of kids cruise where the dad is

13:35

this like germaphobe, and he's like, he's super into vaccines and IVs.

13:40

And then he like, learns, you know that, oh, this is all.

13:44

It's all made up by the, by the deep state media that's also controlled

13:49

by that.

13:50

Anyway, and so, like, by the end, he's really sick,

13:55

but he's but they're like, they just keep giving him corn liquor and they're lying.

13:58

You're fine.

13:59

He's like, yeah, the more I drink of this, the less pain I feel.

14:03

It would be great if in that movie that the father did pass.

14:06

And then it's a Lolita situation where the guy who trying to get

14:10

with the 13 year old daughter

14:11

the entire time is like, listen, I'll adopt all of you.

14:15

And they're like, yay!

14:17

We're going with.

14:18

Old man Winter to his cabin, and.

14:21

We're going with Humbert Humbert, who lives in Mississippi.

14:27

He he lives next to one of the new data centers.

14:30

And they get.

14:31

There and it's just the whirring sound, and they're like, it's loud here.

14:35

And he's like, yeah, and that's the end. Roll credits. Yeah.

14:39

I like it.

14:40

Yeah. And we'll make that.

14:41

We'll see if the whoever it is turning point USA or I keep

14:45

what is it Newsmax or what is Ben Shapiro's company called I can't remember.

14:50

Oh there's a wire. That's. Yeah.

14:52

They just put out like a Game of Thrones movie.

14:54

I haven't seen it yet.

14:55

Really? Yeah.

14:57

They they're kind of like stretching out out of, like,

15:01

you know, doing, like, social commentary to just, like, let's say wizards.

15:06

I haven't, I haven't seen it, I don't know, I was watching

15:08

hobgoblins, the Mystery Science Theater version.

15:11

Oh yeah. Yeah, that's where I'm at.

15:14

And finished Predator Badlands last night.

15:18

You know, there's a new predator movie.

15:19

No, he's. Just watching garbage.

15:22

It wasn't so bad.

15:23

Well I watch I was trying to catch up on like what's out there.

15:27

I, you know I haven't seen anything in the theater in however long but like

15:31

the new 28 years later wasn't bad

15:34

but everything's a sequel or a spinoff.

15:38

It's 28 years later, which is, I want to say, the fourth movie,

15:43

because there's 28 days, 28 weeks, 20, 28

15:46

years, part one and then 28 years, part two, The Boner Temple and.

15:50

Yeah, that's right.

15:51

Yeah.

15:52

And the plot of that, it mostly has to do with a group of a satanic

15:57

cult dressed up like that, pedo from the UK

16:02

who are obsessed with Teletubbies, and they go around killing people.

16:04

And then Ray finds has to pretend to be the devil.

16:07

So that. Pedophile from the Jimmy Savile.

16:10

Yeah, yeah, they dress up as him.

16:12

They they all name each other, Jimmy.

16:15

Oh, yeah.

16:16

It is wild. I actually enjoyed that movie.

16:19

It was pretty damn good. But I like Alex Garland stuff.

16:22

It's.

16:22

He writes weird things, and I like it.

16:26

It's got that actor in it.

16:28

He was in centers. I forget his name. It's Venice.

16:31

I didn't see centers either, so I.

16:34

I was going to win all the Academy Awards.

16:36

I don't give a fuck about that.

16:38

You shouldn't know. It doesn't matter.

16:41

I love Gladiator, and I don't think that should have won Best Picture in 1999.

16:44

So that's when I stopped watching it.

16:46

Doesn't matter.

16:47

And none of this matters anyway,

16:48

because contract negotiations start now for the year.

16:52

They're not going to get what they want.

16:53

They're going to go on strike again in May.

16:57

And then the industry between Larry Ellison fucking it in the ass

17:01

and everything else that's going on will just collapse.

17:04

And then all that will be will be Pete's gears on YouTube

17:09

showing you how to put a new headliner in your Carmen gear,

17:13

and it will be Jerry Seinfeld commenting on that on his much

17:18

better watched but, creepier show that he's doing it on.

17:24

So I assume it will all be I.

17:27

That's the play, right?

17:28

That's why they're buying everything so they can own the rights to the likeness

17:31

of however much stuff, and they can just feed it to the machine and then.

17:35

Yeah, whatever.

17:36

Yeah.

17:37

Just by catalog, by the catalog, by the people.

17:40

Yeah.

17:41

And like Matthew McConaughey said,

17:43

you just got to take you got to take it by the horns

17:46

and you got to sell your likeness, and no one else owns it.

17:49

I'm like, just.

17:50

Punching his chest.

17:51

He's basically just saying what he just did, which is sold.

17:56

His face.

17:58

Yeah.

17:58

Listen, there's a guy.

18:00

It sounds like a scam, but it's not.

18:01

He's he scans your face with an iPhone.

18:04

Well, but he.

18:05

Puts you in a movie with Rosario Dawson.

18:07

It's all. Good.

18:08

Now with I.

18:09

He's not getting going to get older, and they're not going to stay the same age.

18:13

He's just going to be the same age and everyone's going to get older.

18:16

So someone's going to find him playing the bongos

18:20

somewhere and be like, I loved you in the new Mission Impossible movie.

18:24

And he's like, I sure was in that, right?

18:26

He doesn't care.

18:27

He's that paycheck's going to come in.

18:30

That's where it's all going.

18:32

Probably. Maybe.

18:34

We'll see.

18:35

So okay, but we should probably focus on work because I got to get back to work.

18:41

So you're working on Blood Boy?

18:43

What do you what do you want to put out this week on the old blog?

18:47

And then also, I had a thought of, maybe we don't put everything out on Friday.

18:50

Yeah.

18:51

Well, if it's done already, why not space it out a little bit?

18:55

Well, the blood boy thing is not done already.

18:56

I think that one.

18:58

Like I have my I got my self-hosting one

19:02

and I got the Tesla Diner, which maybe I put that one up because

19:06

we're just getting further away from it.

19:08

Yeah.

19:09

So I was thinking maybe schedule that for like Wednesday.

19:12

Yeah. Okay.

19:14

I'm thinking for Friday I might do I took a lot of video and a lot

19:17

of pictures and did a lot of notes on this actually the wrestling thing.

19:21

And I think it's I am of the thought that

19:25

in a,

19:26

in a world, in a world where

19:29

so much especially Gen Z and younger, but even millennials,

19:32

they're like yearning for some sort of analog experience

19:36

of releases from this digital hellhole that we're going down.

19:42

This kind of stuff may be some of the last

19:45

great entertainment that exists.

19:48

I could see I could see a world where

19:52

more people start catching on to these kind of like.

19:55

And it doesn't just have to be these backyard shed wrestling things,

19:58

but things like it where they realize that they're they're

20:02

havens of real experiences.

20:04

You paid $20 for.

20:06

Oh, it.

20:06

Was how long was I there last night?

20:08

Jesus. Five hours.

20:11

God damn. It's a great deal.

20:14

$20 for five hours of the most,

20:18

insane, depraved

20:21

light bulb smashing over the head, tax in the feet.

20:24

Entertainment that you've ever seen. And it's.

20:27

And I met some of the people, the wrestlers.

20:31

As I was waiting for the bathroom.

20:33

They were back there, and they're they're just nice people.

20:36

They they do what they love. Which,

20:41

if you see it, you're like, Jesus Christ, man.

20:43

But they do what they love.

20:45

They're very nice.

20:47

There's a guy named, I want to say

20:50

Captain Insane or something like that,

20:53

and he's covered in clown makeup and he he laughs

20:57

maniacally and he, cuts himself with four fluorescent light bulbs.

21:01

I met him back there and I said, hey, man,

21:04

I saw you jump off of an ambulance.

21:07

And backflip into a guy, into a table, you know, a couple of, events ago.

21:12

And he goes, man. Thanks, man.

21:14

Thanks for coming out. No, no, no.

21:15

I was like, hey, you know, you're the man.

21:17

And he goes, well, hopefully I press you and I, I'm like, I'm sure you will.

21:21

And then he went a and then he went and took a piss and then left. But.

21:26

Wrestlers always been the most

21:28

interesting people in the world and like, I don't, I don't have, like

21:33

a close relationship with wrestling like a lot of people do.

21:36

Or they watch it for years and years and that's their, their thing.

21:39

But it's like the best documentaries I've ever seen.

21:42

I've always been on wrestlers.

21:43

They're always the nicest people, the most accepting of all, like cultures

21:47

and creeds.

21:48

And it's just like it,

21:49

like if there was a perfect utopia, it should stop being trying to be built

21:53

by these like insane billionaires and just be by wrestlers.

21:57

I think everyone's jacked and everyone's nice to each other.

22:00

Sounds good.

22:01

And they seemingly don't feel pain.

22:03

Now, I think that there may be painkillers involved in, some of this.

22:09

In fact, I know that's just.

22:10

Going with the back. Problems.

22:12

Yeah, yeah.

22:13

No, no, you know, I don't judge.

22:16

I saw a guy take a door to the face last night

22:21

and the door smashed in half, and I said, he's got to at least be on beer.

22:27

But. Yeah, but that was the thing, too.

22:29

As a kid, when, you know, there's always someone friends like, you know, it's fake.

22:32

And it's like, even if it is fake, they're still doing backflips off of stuff

22:36

and landing with their bodies, which, like, even they're just pretending

22:41

to punch each other because they're just stomping their foot on the ground.

22:44

They're still being.

22:45

It's actually more impressive that it's fake because it looks like

22:49

they're killing each other.

22:50

And so you're just watching a live stunt show that's

22:54

better than anything Universal Studios can put together.

22:56

Anytime anyone says the fake thing about wrestling,

22:59

it's just it's so it's like you go and see rent,

23:03

you know, and you come out of it and you're like, you know, that's fake, right?

23:07

Not everyone's gay

23:08

and lives in on top of a rooftop and sings and you're like, that guy.

23:12

Loves his wife.

23:13

I was like, side I.

23:14

Wow, that ruins the whole thing for me.

23:19

But yeah, it.

23:20

Yeah.

23:21

Anyway, so all that to say, I think I might,

23:24

write that in the next couple of days and then, finish up the blood boy thing,

23:28

because I spoke with, the blood boy

23:33

that I found on, Craigslist on Saturday.

23:37

And that was an extremely.

23:40

I'm still thinking about that interview

23:43

and having spoken with this guy, the nicest guy who he.

23:47

I might become friends with him after this, like, because it was such a

23:52

it was humbling.

23:54

And, it was made me,

23:57

thankful for so many things in life and all that.

24:02

I want to give it its due and write it well.

24:04

So maybe next week, the blood boy thing, and then the week after that,

24:08

another gear installment for me.

24:10

Nothing anyone's reading mind, people reading and you're all your trash.

24:14

I have a lot I don't like.

24:15

It gives me anxiety to look at any sort of number or anything I did.

24:19

I got a so I got our IRL stuff fixed.

24:22

I told you about that because originally it was

24:23

it was coming from the the host server that we're using.

24:27

And I was like, why is it coming from our actual URL?

24:29

And they're like, you've been banned or something like your

24:32

your tokens are no good here.

24:34

And I had to talk to support and be like, can I have this

24:37

just send from like our actual email.

24:39

And so we had to finagle it and now it's working on my oh cool, I got that

24:44

that going.

24:44

And because I got a then I got my first bounce back where someone

24:51

try to sign up and it was like, mail couldn't be delivered.

24:55

And I was like, I feel like I shouldn't be getting these emails.

24:59

So then I did a test of, like,

25:02

you know, fake user trash email, darknet,

25:05

you know, whatever.

25:06

And then it was like, it went through and I didn't get the bounce back.

25:11

And I was like, that doesn't make sense.

25:13

So of course I Google like, how does this work?

25:15

And a Gemini or Clot or one of these things is like,

25:18

what's what's going on here? Help me try to diagnose this.

25:21

And they're like, well, there's a chance that email, that email actually exists.

25:24

That's why you didn't get the bounce back. Like.

25:26

No. That's not real.

25:29

Come on.

25:31

I already forgot the email.

25:31

I don't know actually what it was, but I.

25:33

Was even paying attention what you were saying.

25:35

It was just a bunch of clowns. So it's not. Far.

25:38

Okay. Yeah. That's it.

25:41

But yes, sign ups are.

25:44

They're happening.

25:44

People are, they are.

25:46

But I'm concerned about.

25:48

So I click through rate.

25:49

It's pretty good.

25:50

And our impression rate's pretty good on these Reddit ads. Right.

25:53

So especially it's the. New the new ad doing.

25:55

Sorry not didn't mean interrupt.

25:57

Well yes. So I meant to.

25:59

We were at about a 1.3%

26:02

click rate I think I told you which is not the best.

26:06

I mean, it's not awful. It's not, it's not really good.

26:09

And so then I changed it to that long headline that you saw.

26:14

That was basically a confession of me not wanting to write headlines anymore,

26:18

and it was just a thumbnail of me with my head against the wall.

26:22

That, click through rate was 0.75%, so it was a little worse.

26:26

So we're. Learning. We're learning.

26:28

So then we changed it to a shorter headline.

26:30

And then you and I, with massive racks

26:33

and my nipples poking through of my triple E boobs.

26:38

And the click through rate went up at one point to 5.9%,

26:43

which is almost

26:45

four times what we were at three times what we were getting.

26:48

Which is a phenomenal click through rate.

26:50

Now it's settled back to about 2.3%, which is really pretty good.

26:55

But all that to say,

26:57

I feel like with this many.

26:58

So we've had from this, this ad run actually

27:03

let me go through the actual data.

27:04

So we started running ads the 20th.

27:07

It's February.

27:08

It's the 2nd of March of March.

27:10

Now, we've had a total of 543 clicks through the ad.

27:15

How many impressions?

27:18

39,000 about.

27:19

Okay. So,

27:22

with the cost per click of about $0.57.

27:26

And all that to say is, I feel like with 543 clicks of the ad

27:32

that being on Reddit,

27:34

this is probably this, probably double that.

27:37

And people going to the site from Reddit.

27:40

Because of how people browse Reddit and they don't click.

27:42

Thanks.

27:43

I feel like the number of sign ups is pretty or email

27:47

captures is low for that amount of click through is.

27:52

I could be wrong, but.

27:54

It's still early days and like, I think if we we get into a better cadence

27:58

of putting stuff out there, I had this thought,

28:02

not to derail this too much, but

28:04

like, for doing some kind of.

28:10

Like a creative project that we do something we talked about doing the AI.

28:14

SEO. Yeah.

28:15

Like just I think just doing

28:18

a parody type thing.

28:21

And I was reading about the,

28:25

the Fisher Protocol for a I a call.

28:28

This guy from Harvard had this concept.

28:31

We're basically saying, like,

28:33

if the president is going to nuke another country, he has to get the code.

28:37

Oh, cool.

28:39

Yeah, that's. That's embedded in a guy's chest.

28:41

Random person.

28:42

So they're like, he has to like, you literally use a butcher

28:45

like a rusty butcher knife to cut it out of him.

28:48

And the response was like, that's terrible.

28:50

He has to kill someone. Like

28:52

the idea, implanting empathy.

28:54

Yeah.

28:55

I was trying to think of like, oh, what if they're in this?

28:58

It's like it started as a joke, but it also felt like kind of old man humor.

29:02

So I was like, there's some way to massage this.

29:04

But I was trying to think of a way of consummating something along the lines of,

29:09

like that, that idea, that concept of like real world

29:13

consequences of your actions.

29:16

And it was something of like, let's retool the entire political system

29:20

where your approval rating

29:24

is real time.

29:25

It's tied to

29:25

the blockchain, it's tied to Poly Market, it's tied to all these things.

29:30

And if it drops below a certain percentage, like you're you're booted

29:35

or something like you're you're demoted, you lose like a certain amount of pay.

29:39

And then if it keeps going, you eventually get deported or they just kill you.

29:44

That's for the president or a CEO.

29:46

I think all levels. All executive.

29:49

Levels, any thing where you're responsible for the people below you,

29:54

it's like, obviously, let's not do communism or Santi socialism.

29:57

It's not a let's, let's do like call this like new capitalism.

29:59

If you're executive vice president of a plumbing company,

30:02

and your, you know,

30:07

your Yelp score is, is dipping to

30:10

too much, you get deported and or executed.

30:13

Yeah.

30:13

I mean, the thought was coming from this place of like,

30:16

you know, how every senator or everyone is doing, like, insider trading.

30:20

And yeah, when they get caught, it's just sort of like, I'm sorry, that's

30:24

just how it is. And it's like, well.

30:25

What if.

30:27

People could actually vote

30:30

on like just their phone or it's a government app

30:34

since they have all our data anyway, where you actually vote for

30:40

basically people in your district in real time

30:42

and you get like a daily news output or like your AI assistant

30:47

or whatever tells you like, hey, the senator in your area

30:50

just sold the rights to your land for a data center that keeps me powered.

30:55

And you're going to your electricity bills going up 20%.

30:58

Do you like or dislike this and go dislike and you can actually see people's like,

31:03

oh, like and then people can bet on Poly Market

31:06

whether that person's approval ratings going to go up or down

31:08

based on decisions are making, and that actually affects their overall score.

31:13

And if they yeah, they go below a certain threshold, it's like,

31:16

well, now you just become an indentured servant.

31:18

Like you lose money,

31:20

you're not allowed to make money anymore, and you still have to do government work

31:23

until you pay it off.

31:24

So it's it's kind of a nirvana thing to it as well,

31:27

where you're trying to reach different levels of you try not to be

31:30

your caste system, you're trying to be, you know, a mouse or something.

31:34

You're trying to work your way up.

31:35

Well, it.

31:36

Was just all this interesting discussion around Poly Market, and I mean, like,

31:40

I don't look at that and the whole thing are Kalki

31:43

and all these things where there is some wisdom to be gleaned there

31:47

about how people vote with their wallets more than they vote with probably.

31:52

Oh, absolutely.

31:53

Yeah.

31:53

When, like most politics these days, does feel like

31:57

you're being sold the promise of like, oh, we promise we'll do this.

31:59

Like, well, what if you if you flip it and you're actually you can run like,

32:04

anyone can run and you can be vote in, but like,

32:07

you actually have to fulfill your policies.

32:09

And I get it. Some things can't be done.

32:12

But now there's the incentive of, like, payment and, your livelihood.

32:17

And I know the government and the world would never go for this, but it's like,

32:20

doesn't this ultimately benefit us, the people?

32:24

And obviously the people in power don't want this. But like,

32:28

we do it as a joke, but it would be kind of funny to make it sound

32:31

just good enough that people start to the push

32:34

for this instead of, you know, universal basic income.

32:38

We just call this thing called like, I don't know,

32:41

I vote or,

32:44

whatever you have to be, it's just called accountable.

32:47

So you want you want an accountability thing,

32:50

and I vote thing smashed together with gambling.

32:54

Yes. Yes.

32:57

I you know, I'm.

32:57

In I mean, we're we're already headed towards this gambling dystopia

33:01

where you can you can already bet on it and you're.

33:03

Heading toward.

33:04

I mean, we're. We're we're we're in it.

33:07

Yeah.

33:08

We're still a few weeks away from it looking like Biff's casino,

33:12

but that's what it's about to look like.

33:15

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Vegas. During the stand.

33:17

I was with someone watching the state of the Union,

33:19

and they were betting on on words that Trump was going to say, like,

33:25

they're not not on substantial amounts of money

33:28

either, where they're like, you got three large on him

33:32

saying like, never before, ten times, you know, you're like, oh shit.

33:37

Yeah, it's bad. It's really bad. And

33:40

again, it's a half

33:41

form thought and we can we could talk more about it later.

33:44

But I was like, we should do something like that and get a campaign going.

33:49

And then we put money towards that, like, okay, like check this thing out.

33:52

And then,

33:53

you know, at the bottom of the page, you're like, this whole thing's parody.

33:56

You know, it's obviously it's adding more of a step, but then it's like, well,

34:01

why don't we put our effort, our creative efforts into these,

34:04

these bigger campaigns?

34:06

And just like with cloud code and everything, we can just we can make

34:08

a pretty great looking website and we can make like an interactable app.

34:13

But it would just be great to be like you're voting on, on a senator

34:17

and you're watching their approval rating go down in real time.

34:21

Like, if we can somehow simulate an entire market

34:23

around this stuff and see what people are betting on.

34:27

I don't know, it could be kind of cool.

34:28

I think it would have to be tied in, because ultimately

34:31

the problem you run into is that politicians

34:35

can see their approval rating as it is right now.

34:38

I mean, they can get data.

34:39

Based on polls, right?

34:41

Which is. It? Yeah, it's based on polls.

34:43

Things like poly markets more accurate than polls.

34:48

Yes. All this is true.

34:50

I say that because this

34:54

there some element of this exists.

34:57

But ultimately politicians and or executives, they don't care

35:00

because they are not the servicing the public.

35:05

They're servicing donors, people with money, things like that.

35:09

So if there was some tie in to where

35:12

the money that went towards them is somehow affected,

35:17

or the companies who bankrolled them

35:20

or somehow affected like your subscriptions

35:24

or immediately canceled this place or your your monthly spend is redirected

35:28

to Kroger's and said H-e-b or, you know, whatever the thing is like,

35:32

there's got to be you talked about affecting the money.

35:35

The big money, I think has to be affected for them

35:39

to even give half a shit about real time, you know, FanDuel or whatever data that.

35:44

Yeah. What's happening poly market.

35:46

I need, like I said, need help kind of fleshing this thing out.

35:49

But we can flesh it out. We can flesh it out. A thing like

35:53

there,

35:54

there's the whole talk of, like, this whole

35:57

I forget what it's called, but it's like a limp addict

36:01

democracy or something like that.

36:02

It's the it's not quite fascism, but it's the,

36:06

it's something in between of democracy.

36:09

It's like an Indo democracy or something like that.

36:11

But the idea is that, like,

36:14

it's this new form of government where, you know,

36:16

there's this stuff like, let's just get rid of voting

36:18

and so like, lean into that and go, yes, let's get rid of voting instead.

36:22

Let's turn to sports betting.

36:24

So there are no more elections.

36:27

People can basically just run.

36:30

You just run for whatever you want

36:32

and the market decides whether you're in power or not.

36:36

And it's all based on if you're actually doing good in the world.

36:40

Based on like, people in your area.

36:42

And it's, it's got like a grinder thing built into it.

36:45

So it's like, you know, here's some politicians in.

36:47

Your area nearby.

36:49

Yeah.

36:49

And you're getting like, stories of everything you're doing.

36:52

Again, I'm, I want it to be as dystopian as possible.

36:55

And it's it's a, again, a half form thought.

36:58

There's something there, but, I figure speaking out loud.

37:02

Well,

37:03

we'll figure out if it's, if it's terrible or not.

37:05

I mean, so it can be dystopian as you want,

37:07

as long as there's a gambling element to it.

37:10

People will be on board, so we'll

37:13

we'll talk about that, I think.

37:16

And. Maybe we can, we can flush that idea out.

37:19

And then in the meantime, I think we can probably just start with AI

37:22

CEO and start and make, make a web page where you can,

37:26

you can buy a mac mini that has a CEO on it.

37:30

And, that's pretty good.

37:31

Yeah, it's just open claw. But, yeah.

37:34

It's.

37:36

We are like, PewDiePie built his own land.

37:38

We can build our own CEO.

37:40

But it's it's just a wrapper around grok, so it's kind of sexist.

37:44

They're all fucking.

37:45

Rappers, and not the good kind.

37:50

Okay.

37:51

That's good.

37:52

One other thing.

37:52

I was going to bring up is, I think so

37:55

I think, we're going to start releasing YouTube shorts this week.

38:00

I think that's the time for that to get those going out.

38:04

I'm wondering if the YouTube strategy should be adjusted to where

38:09

you can see the first three minutes of the bunker video

38:14

or five minutes of the bunker video, and then it, it says, you know,

38:19

go to the site to, to watch the rest of it or something like that.

38:23

Because I, I think we're well, I know we're not using

38:27

the YouTube.

38:30

Like presents

38:32

strong enough or we're not using it well enough to.

38:35

Do whatever you want to. Do, I. Okay?

38:37

I just don't want to touch it.

38:38

Yeah. Okay.

38:39

Well, then that's I I'll give you some specifics for that

38:44

because we it's, we're just not utilizing it like we should be.

38:49

Yeah. And it's. Yeah. Again.

38:51

Yeah, I know, and it's it's just my

38:54

it I, I hate

38:57

having to look like I just get such a crazy amount of

39:01

hidden neuroses around it that I just, like, I,

39:05

I hate looking at the YouTube back end and it's just.

39:08

Yeah. No, I it's all. Yeah.

39:10

And it's, it's a marketing tool and all that stuff. So

39:14

I don't know.

39:15

But ultimately if it just drives this,

39:17

I mean, the video doesn't have to have comments or anything.

39:19

It just drives to the side.

39:21

It's the first five minutes of the bonkers video and it's like,

39:24

you know, the end card is

39:27

where you know it.

39:28

There's an end card and then maybe there's a lower third.

39:31

That it was awesome.

39:32

It was missing some features because I hadn't touched the channel in so long.

39:35

So it was like I had to like re upload my ID and all that stuff.

39:38

So I think there was like

39:39

there were abilities that were missing, like pin comments and stuff like that.

39:43

Yeah.

39:43

So that should be back now.

39:47

Okay.

39:47

So yeah, you should get some functionality.

39:50

Okay.

39:51

Well I'll I'll get some recommendations for that because there's.

39:56

Yeah, there's, there should be more

39:59

more sign ups being driven.

40:02

Yeah.

40:02

Based off of everything we've got here.

40:05

So yeah.

40:06

And then I think again to like it, I want to be

40:10

producing more video content around this stuff.

40:13

So like I have the

40:16

I don't know, I, I don't think I didn't

40:18

want to do a video around the Tesla Diner because that's just very like.

40:22

Then. It's what.

40:24

Then. It's then. Yeah, it's very influencer.

40:27

It would be a lot of me like filming myself, me and like, yeah, I'm just here.

40:30

I'm at the diner and I'm filming the same things.

40:33

You can just find anywhere.

40:34

And I'm like, I don't know if there's anything.

40:36

It was just more of a it was fun to like, do a work from half a day

40:41

there and, you know, whatever. It's like

40:43

the Tesla Diner experience is fine,

40:45

but the like the self-hosting one,

40:50

I might do some kind of video component to go along with that.

40:54

I've been messing with, and, you know, you don't know this,

40:58

but it's this program called a drum thing is named drum.

41:02

It's a way to self host your own music.

41:05

Okay?

41:05

And, someone put out a tool recently.

41:08

You did all through terminal.

41:09

It's a little convoluted, but, like,

41:11

I started adding radio stations from, like, around the world.

41:14

So I have a, a radio or I have a music server

41:18

at my home that I can I use tail scale or.

41:24

One of those reverse proxy things, but only I have access to it.

41:27

So it's like it's not going out.

41:28

It goes out to the world, but only through like a VPN that I use.

41:31

But you can.

41:33

It was this cool feature where I was like, oh, I can start adding these,

41:36

like electronic stations.

41:37

And all of a sudden

41:38

this German guy's like, y'all are going to the Trans Channel in the other room.

41:41

And so the, about Oakenfold coming off next.

41:45

Like Scorpions all day long.

41:49

I realize I was

41:49

like, oh, this isn't just like pirate radio.

41:52

Someone is pumping in like, a an actual audio source

41:58

from probably Berlin, like, that's pretty cool.

42:01

And it's, it's I'm using it more than Spotify now.

42:05

Like when I go on walks or go to the gym or whatever.

42:07

I'm just like, you know, I missed just, like, good radio.

42:12

And you can still get those through this, like, set.

42:14

So I think I might try to do like a, a mini kind of walk through,

42:19

like a pretty barebones of,

42:21

like, hey, if you know nothing about self-hosting

42:24

whatsoever, this is a here's a way you can do this yourself.

42:28

I'm going to walk you through this process.

42:30

And then, you know, there are some different platforms

42:32

and different options, but the the basis is going to be there.

42:35

So like, you know, might be a short little five minute video,

42:37

but the idea is like run your own music server.

42:41

Like just if you have a bunch of old stuff, download some CDs you want to rip.

42:45

Like really easy to do this stuff and just have your take your library

42:48

wherever you want to go. So.

42:51

But I'm also slammed this week

42:54

with a bunch of other stuff I need to make, so no. Yes.

43:01

And I found out, remember that Batman game we were talking about last week?

43:06

Yeah.

43:06

So the director of the game,

43:10

I believe,

43:13

is I forget his name, but he lives here in LA.

43:16

And he's a Japanese guy, and he's only directed

43:19

one video game, and it was the Batman game.

43:22

He's like a movie director that they put on this thing,

43:26

and he he, like, lives in Santa Monica.

43:27

So I was like, I'm going to reach out to him and just,

43:30

like, ask him, what the hell was this thing?

43:32

And what are your thoughts on other like, have you ever played another Batman game?

43:36

I'm guessing he's never played a video game in his life.

43:38

Yeah, no, I mean, well, I mean, what.

43:41

That's a stretch.

43:41

Well, these are all things that you could you could ask, but like,

43:45

he's a film director, so he's like, what is he writing?

43:48

Is it was he directing the visuals like what was it?

43:50

You know, but. He's down as the director.

43:53

It's like it was something that stood out to me when the game started.

43:56

It was very like Metal Gear style,

43:58

where it's like directed by Kenji Terada, written by Scott Peterson.

44:02

Who are these people?

44:03

The guy who killed his wife. Like what?

44:05

Why is this important?

44:09

So it's it's just,

44:10

I don't know, it's it's been festering in my mind of I'm

44:14

now slowly becoming obsessed with this really bad

44:18

Batman video game that predated the Arkham series.

44:21

And I was just like, I, I feel like I need to know more.

44:23

And if I have the opportunity to talk to the guy,

44:25

maybe we can interview him at the Tesla Diner or something, like, yeah,

44:28

just bring it.

44:29

All to all your important work you do at the Tesla Diner.

44:34

I did see other people doing that,

44:37

and I thought it was going to be more of a all day remote thing.

44:40

But yeah, you'll you'll see it in the article.

44:42

But yeah, I do think with that bat that Batman video

44:45

needs to be, you should release that.

44:48

I mean, because it's just it's just unlisted, isn't it?

44:53

Yeah, I just I threw it as a throw away, I don't know,

44:55

maybe put up as a short or put up a, like, a social media thing.

44:58

I don't know.

44:59

Just put it out with no explanation and, and a pinned comment to go to the site.

45:03

Because it's just like if you, you know.

45:06

Yeah.

45:07

I mean, it's up to you, but, you know, I, I do it, I, I laughed, I had good times.

45:12

Okay. I just want to I'm on the thing.

45:14

Part of it too is, well, now that I'm thinking

45:16

this might actually be a video, this might be a.

45:19

Oh, you're gonna save. It or die. Save it.

45:21

And then that's like the tease or something, and then it says, hey, go,

45:24

you know, read this full article or, you know, that's probably a video.

45:28

I would just, you know, put out on the channel or whatever.

45:31

I think I think that works too, if that's what you, you want to do.

45:33

Yeah.

45:34

Because I just I see a lot of people do this with YouTube

45:36

channels where it's like, I guess I'm, I'm being precious about something

45:39

I don't care about, but it's like, I don't want it to be a dumping ground.

45:43

If it's a dumping ground, it has to be a consistent dumping ground.

45:45

And I'm not consistent enough with making trash to the system.

45:49

Dumping ground like Staten Island or something is what you're going for.

45:53

There's just, you know.

45:55

There's like different tiers.

45:57

And I guess none of this is really laid out anywhere.

45:58

But it's like if you're going to do

46:00

like a shitpost or something, you just put it on Twitter or Instagram

46:04

or TikTok or anything like that because like, I feel like those are

46:07

those are disposable.

46:09

But if you're trying to make something of like

46:11

actual value or something that has like,

46:15

I feel like that's what you use YouTube for, you don't use

46:17

YouTube as disposable stuff unless you want to use the shorts.

46:19

Shorts are disposable. That's frosting.

46:22

If you're doing an actual video on the channel that's going to sit there,

46:26

I feel like it has to be.

46:27

It has to be like the bunkers video.

46:29

It needs to be something better.

46:31

That's just my my thought. On it, though.

46:33

I think that's solid.

46:34

And I think you're so, you adhere to this

46:38

so much that you release things and then you don't even list them.

46:42

That's how that's how important this channel is.

46:45

Yeah.

46:45

I mean, we should probably list the bunkers video. Now.

46:48

I just wanted to get people to do that was our only marketing strategy there

46:52

because we we're like not putting anybody in this thing.

46:54

So it's like, hey, you can watch the full video on this website, but that's over.

46:59

So yeah, we can just unlisted and make it live.

47:03

Well, we don't have to do it for the whole thing,

47:06

but at least have like a five minute, the first five minutes of it.

47:09

That's. Well, the thought too.

47:11

There's like, well, if you sign up for the site again,

47:13

I still need to build the video page, but the idea is that like,

47:16

yeah, maybe if you sign up for the site, you get the you get the video a week

47:20

early, you know, and then eventually listed on YouTube or

47:23

like, hey, we put stuff out early on the website.

47:26

It's unlisted YouTube content.

47:27

So like it'll eventually get a not trying to keep stuff from people, but

47:31

it helps us out more if people sign up for the site and we can like

47:37

just directly, you know,

47:40

I just rather have engage people

47:42

who actually, like are interested in the stuff that can stuff,

47:46

which is again, asking a lot of people, let's there's a lot going on.

47:51

I have so many subscriptions for things I didn't sign up for.

47:54

Yeah. That's right.

47:56

That's what I think most of the subscribers on the site,

47:58

their mindset is like, I won't remember this.

48:01

Then email done. Yeah, thankfully,

48:04

Gmail has made it very easy to unsubscribe or marks I have spam.

48:08

I love that the spam buttons.

48:09

Next. Archive.

48:11

Yeah, yeah.

48:13

It's it's always like, you want to archive this or,

48:18

ban it and blacklist it forever.

48:21

And it's like, those are two very dangerous.

48:23

Like, that's a dangerous button to put in the middle.

48:26

Like, shouldn't it go archive, delete spam.

48:31

I don't know.

48:31

I've, I've definitely blacklisted far

48:35

too many things that I don't remember.

48:39

So have you been trying to email me?

48:40

I'm sorry.

48:41

Oh, I got an email notification to, is asking

48:47

if I wanted to renew, some of those URLs from the bunkers campaign.

48:52

I think I'm going to keep the bunkers for everyone.

48:54

One, because just goes the aquifer.

48:55

But then the, the new station in Wyoming, I tried sending it to them.

49:00

I think I'm just not going to renew it so they can just have it.

49:03

Yeah, that's fine. And they won't remember it.

49:05

And someone else would buy it and mimic them.

49:08

And then this whole thing will go all over again.

49:10

Yeah, I hope not.

49:13

But, I was yeah.

49:15

Bunkers, I don't know, it's renews for like ten bucks or something.

49:20

But yeah.

49:20

Casey y news 13.com.

49:23

It's, after in 45 days, it will be up.

49:27

It will be available. I no one can have it.

49:30

All right. Listening. Wyoming.

49:32

Do you want to know your time?

49:37

Yeah, it's your chance.

49:40

I can put it on the auction block.

49:42

Yeah, man.

49:43

Yeah.

49:43

Anyway.

49:44

Okay, well, I think we we got enough to get.

49:47

Moving on. Anything. Else?

49:51

No, I, I'll message you later

49:54

about some, hammer out some creative things, but.

49:58

Okay. Yeah. Sounds like a plan. We'll cool.

50:01

I'll get started on this, and then we'll, we'll go from there.

50:04

Let's figure out how to turn off this mumble thing.

50:08

That's what I'm going to do, I.

50:09

So I figured it out.

50:11

You got a server on the top left, and there's a disconnect button under connect.

50:16

It says to connect.

50:18

How am I talking to you?

50:20

Says disconnect.

50:21

I know, but

50:23

this isn't no.

50:25

Hopefully the audio is less robotic on this one, but we'll see.

50:27

Okay. All right. I'll talk later.

50:29

Okay. Bye bye.
