 Okay, does, do you hear me now? Welcome everyone. Oh, you don't hear me? Strange. Hi, Jordy, I try to play your music and it didn't, nobody heard it, but you guys hear me? Thank you, thank you. You guys hear my voice? I'm just wondering if my microphone is working or if I'm being sabotaged. Anybody, anybody? Oh, not the music. Okay, all right, thank you, Ronnie. That's weird. That is really bizarre. I know some bizarre things were happening to Ronald J. Terrio, Friday, for Fandango Friday. A lot of bizarre things were happening. Man, you know, that Pennsylvania geek at our own stream yard, he must have the same mentality as the Eagle Beak Zuckerberg because he must have real low-budget programmers running his company. Really, I mean, all of a sudden, Jordy's music cannot be heard. Let me, I'm gonna play a little bit of it. Let me know if you hear it. That is really, really strange. Well, the show must go on. Thank you for liking my haircut. Got it today. Okay, okay. All right, I wanna read a monologue. Read this monologue and that's interesting. Okay, first let me have a sip of my iced tea with organic apple cider vinegar to clear my throat. Well, this is welcome to progressive discussions. I'm your host, so for those that don't know me, James P. Madonna, I've been doing this as far as being seen on video since 2007 and podcasts before that into the late 90s. This is the midterm election special show and I wanna start off at a very first time with a monologue in regards to the midterm elections. It reminds me of what my late grandfather used to say to certain people, you are your own worst enemy. You cut your noses off to spite your face. This is perfect for the imbecilic American voter which has proven to be dumber than a bag of rocks. Before election day, I kept on seeing banners telling me that more young people, including women, have been registering to vote in massive numbers in American history. Well, if these young people, including women, along with minorities actually did vote, then the blue wave would have been a tsunami from the very beginning. I think it was President Grover Cleveland who said that Americans will get the kind of government that they deserve. The American voter continues to shoot themselves not only in one foot, but in both feet. You people out there are so easily, are so easy to brainwash by the right wing with their lies. The proof is always in the pudding. Obviously today's Americans brain cells are either deficient or not all firing at the same time. I am a proud far left-wing progressive that believes in science because I go by proven facts, not by hearsay, ideology and perception, especially now since the right wing has moved even farther to the right and have become extremists. However, I am not a fan of the sycophant pandering neoliberalism of today's corrupt paid-off Democrat party. What the hell is taking so long to indict Donald Trump? Sign student loan forgiveness and stack the Supreme Court with progressives. I believe Joe Biden can go as high as 13 because I hear many of the justices now instead of being responsible for one district, they're handling two districts. It needs to be upgraded, okay? The system is outdated. It's all outdated. The electoral college, the superdelegates of the Democrats, delegates, of course, gerrymandering is cheap. Either Joe Biden's old age is making him move very slowly or just like other Democrats, he is obsessed with making friends and seeking approval from wicked agenda Republicans. This whole kumbaya bipartisan type dream is total horseship and will never happen. Plus, do away with the outdated electoral college delegates, superdelegates and the cheating system of gerrymandering. Popular vote only, one person, one vote. When a professional sports team wins a world title, they win by scoring the most points. Well, when a thoroughbred racehorse wins the triple crown, it wins by having at least its nose cross the line. Well, why not do it with politics? Why are they sitting on all this with their thumbs up their ass? Getting back to the bottom, 98% Americans that vote Republicans, some of them don't even have a pot to piss in. Like the people in Wolf County, Kentucky that live in shacks that keep on re-electing turtle face Mishwakanl. Some day they will realize that Republicans only work for the top 1% and they always have. Work for the top 1%. Then you have the right-wing evangelical zealot religious freak cult followers that believe that a fertilized egg is a human baby, whereas it is no more a baby than an acorn as an oak tree. It is only a potential life. Okay, interesting. All right. Yeah, I played your song, Jordy. This is the first time it ever happened, but the microphone didn't pick up the music and I had it loud too. Yeah, it didn't fuck a bird. Well, the owner of StreamYard is more of a geek than fuck a bird. The only difference is he doesn't have a hawk nose. Let's have a beer. Well, first I have to go through my important serious material. Thank you, Jordy. Thank you very much. Okay, I'm going to play a video concerning the midterm elections by Mr. Jesse Ventura. Make sure it's all there. Okay, here you go. Jesse, the body Ventura, Governor Jesse Ventura on midterm insanity. Hi, Governor Jesse Ventura here for Substack. Die first, then quit. And this is going to be my final rant. Call it what you want prior to the midterm elections. Really the balance of democracy hangs with this and I'm really puzzled. I've tried my hardest to try to figure out the loyalty to Donald Trump and why people in this country have this undying loyalty to this man and what he possibly did in his life to earn that loyalty. I'm puzzled. I don't know what it is. I view Donald Trump today and his followers very much the same way as I view Jim Jones and Jonestown because there is a ton of people out there that are drinking the Kool-Aid, the Donald Trump Kool-Aid. Certainly he never served our country. He didn't serve in the military. He's not a military hero in any way, shape, or form. In fact, in my generation, he'd be viewed as a draft Dodger, not even a draft Dodger because most draft Dodgers didn't have the money to buy their way out of it. Donald Trump had the opportunity to serve his country in the military and he chose not to. So what is it? What is it that you people that support him are so angry about? That's what I can't figure out. What has caused this anger you have to make America great again? And what exactly does that mean? A democracy like America was an experiment to begin with and it is a constant experiment. It's an experiment going forward, not backwards. So by saying make America great again, it means you prefer another time in American history that you feel America was better. When was that? Prior to the Civil War? Or is it make America great going back to the 50s? When I believed we taxed millionaires that's about 70 or 80% back then, I wouldn't find Donald Trump would support that. Well, then again, Donald Trump doesn't pay taxes anyway, does he? And think about that for a moment. Do you really envy and admire a man who causes you to pay more taxes because he doesn't pay his fair share? I want people to communicate to me what it is they are so angry about and what it is Donald Trump can fix their anger with. Has he demonstrated in the past he has the ability to do that? If so, when and where? Donald Trump has only served himself basically since the day he was born. This guy's the most litigated man, I think in the United States of America. Well, you don't get lawsuits brought against you because you're a good guy. Do people really believe that our country is being run by pedophiles and a pizza parlor in the basement? And it turns out the pizza parlor doesn't have a basement. Is it really at that level that people believe that our entire United States government needs to be routed and thrown out and that violence is an okay thing to do it with? I'm all for revolution, absolutely. But I'm for nonviolent revolution. It can be done without violence because a revolution based on violence is gonna continue to have violence. I'm gonna sit back and watch with great interest because if the Republicans take over, it's gonna be interesting. Yep, Jesse Ventura said it well. Okay, this is a good one. This is a good one. The jobs that built America's middle class are disappearing, intensifying its downfall. Yeah, they just did their job. They did their job. They got heat or they got over with the fans. They played their gimmick well. And if they hung out together, I don't know, they could have discussed anything in the wrestling business. Okay, bear with me. Let's see. There we go. Okay, anyway, I just wanna welcome everyone. Jordy Kay, performing artists, our performing artists from Scotland, techno expert, Ronnie S. And Western Mike, the great Western Mike from San Francisco, California, there he is. All right, let me get through this. Fortune, the jobs that built America's middle class are disappearing, intensifying its downfall. Okay, America's middle class is in a tight spot. Squeeze between the disappearing wealth Americans squirreled away during the pandemic and projected layoffs at the hands of a looming recession. What? I don't wanna be a subscriber. You see what they're doing? They're not a son of a bitch. They won't, they don't, they don't give me the option to close this down. They're forcing, you know what? All these mag, a lot of these magazines are doing this. They're forcing people. They use bait and switch. They entice you with the title of the article or video. And then they shove this in front of your face. And I can't get rid of it. You believe this crap? So they're not letting me read the article because they want me to subscribe. Well, fuck you, Fortune. Okay, that is real obnoxious, pushy salesmanship tactics. The companies have become scumbags, beyond scumbags. Fortune, you're inducted into the Chiseless Hall of Shame. And really, it's terrible. It's terrible. Goodbye. Well, we already know that the middle class is in dire straits. They're in hot water. That's obvious. Okay, let me try this one. Oh, this is interesting. Ooh, yeah. This talk about Chiseless Hall of Shame. Talk about Chiseless Hall of Shame. This is a big inductee. And this has to do with the greedy sleazy, underhanded scumbag, Walton family that owns Walmart. This is Walmart, okay? This is Walmart. Oh, yeah. Hold on for a second to me. All right, let's see. There you go. Check your receipts. Check your receipts. Walmart customer says she was charged $20 extra for a universal unknown item. And she said, I didn't buy something for $20. After receiving an extra $20 charge for an unknown item while shopping at Walmart, a woman on TikTok has a PSA for all shoppers. Always check your receipts. Talk about Highway Robbery. Fuck you. They try to shove things down your throat. Get you to spend money. The woman named Julia Taylor. And she had, yeah, Julia Taylor posted a three-minute video sharing her experience and advice. She says that she had heard on TikTok about some people receiving strange additional charges but didn't think it was real until it happened to her. In the video, Taylor says she had noticed that her grocery bill seemed unusually high when she paid it. But she had brushed her skepticism aside, chalking up and seemingly, the seemingly higher charge to inflation or whatever. But the time she had gotten to her car to lower her groceries, she decided to double check her receipt saying something still didn't feel right. I'm like, I'm pretty sure I didn't buy something for $20, Taylor says in her video. I always double check the price on the shelf before I pick up an item, just because I do. The TikToker says she scanned, the TikToker says she scanned her receipt on Fetch, a rewards app that earns users free gift cards and cash back. If they snap their grocery, now you see what they're doing. I don't know why they're doing this. Free gift cards and cash back if they snap their grocery shopping and restaurant receipts. She says she couldn't tell from her receipt, but the extra $19.86 charge was four. So she used the app to determine that. The app told her it was for a universal unknown item. Interesting. Still confused, Taylor took her receipt inside and spoke with Walmart customer service, who she says was very kind, very gracious, and very helpful. She asked them to search for the item in their system to see what it was and determine whether she had gotten something wrong. The customer service workers search the item number twice, but both times it came back as not available. Taylor says, I'm like, I think I'm getting scammed. Damn right. The TikToker says, I think someone is trying to scam me. Somehow I don't know, but I didn't buy something for $20. Let's see how long this is stamping. Oh, it's almost done. Taylor adds that the Walmart workers were apologetic and refunded her the mystery charge. I was very thankful that they did and thankful that I caught it. But y'all, this is a warning to check your receipts. Taylor says, if it was $5, I wouldn't have noticed. We're not noticed, but scammers still get away with stuff like that. Viewers said they've had similar experiences specifically at Walmart. Some even claim Walmart knows about the scams. It's true, I was a cashier, just happened a lot. The only time we realized it was when a customer pointed it out to us. One viewer commented on Taylor's video, Walmart always, always do that. Yeah, it sounds like a Walmart shopper. Very bad grammar, Walmart always do that. And they know all about it. Damn right they know. Another viewer said, other users noted that they always ask for their receipts and they make sure to check them before they leave the store. Check your receipt before you leave the store when user advised, yeah, no shit. Do you want your receipt? Yes, a second user commented. A third wrote, all these and parents always been checking receipts before they even leave the store. Used to think they were silly, but they knew. Yeah, they did. They daily reached out to the creator via TikTok comment and the Walmart via the media request form on their website. Now I think Walmart is very aware of it. And let me see if the video is here. Yeah, you see, as I'm reading the article they keep on shoving things in front of me for me to spend money. You know what? I think I covered it. I'm just sick of all this crazy ass advertisement. Unbelievable. Okay. Oh yeah, we're gonna do a little red pill talk in honor of Mr. Western Mike. It should be interesting. Okay, hold on, hold on young lady. Hold on, hold on. Let me see what we got here. Ah, yes. Good morning, Masumi from the Tokyo area of Japan. It is now 9.32, I believe. 9.32 a.m. Sunday in Tokyo. Good morning to you and happy Sunday, Masumi. Okay, now we're gonna get to the last one. This is the last one and this is interesting. And... Okay, this one is 13 red flags in women's signs. She is emotionally damaged. Okay, that's a lovely photo of someone who's, but maybe she's got a sense of humor. Well, we'll find out. Smart girl. Let's see. Hold on, hold on, I'll be right with you, people. Okay, and then back at the ranch. Can't hear anything. You couldn't hear the video? So every time, so when I play, when I play, holy crap. So when I play something, whether it be music or video, it's not going over, it's not being picked up by the microphone here on StreamYard. So all that time, the 11 minutes wasted. That's really the first time that that happened, really on StreamYard. I don't understand what's going on. I really don't, this really sucks. So that means, that means the wheel is not going to work either. That's what that means. Okay, everybody, that's it. It's a good thing, it's a good thing that most of the topics, oh gee, wait a minute here. Did you, were you able to hear Jesse Ventura? Ronnie and Western Mike, StreamYard is having some problems. It's not good, it's really, really, really sucks. Oh, you did? Okay, thank God. Okay, so of course you heard my monologue because I was talking and you heard Jesse. Good, good, good, good. That's a shame because she had a lot of, well, she put the red flags from one to 13 in jumbo letters across the bottom of the screen. So you kind of got the gist of what she was talking about but she's very smart. And what she says is true, that a lot of guys, hey, even women do not pay attention to the red flags. Maybe they're blinded by the animal magnetism, the chemistry, the physical chemistry, or should I say lust to put it bluntly? You know, lust clouds, they're better judgment and they don't pay attention to the red flags. Well, so that makes the girl mentioning all the red flags concerning dating, Jordy's music. Those two things didn't play. No, well, because you have a significant other but there's a lot of guys out there that are unattached and dating today is pretty rough. It's not like it was in the past. And it wasn't important to you because, but then again, there are men who are married to the wrong women and they find out the hard way. So in a way, a lot of people in relationships, especially if they're living together or they're married and living together, these red flags do apply to them unless they're in an ideal relationship. So to say it's not important, I disagree. But anyway, if anybody out there wants to hide up on, there's a link. I don't think the wheel is going to work with the audio. Let's see, I'm looking for someone. It's quiet tonight, all the other dudes that usually come here didn't show up. You know, between any company that's run by a geek is always problems, it's always problematic. All right, got you. Oh yeah, Jesse, I know what you mean. Jesse's monologues are more important. I mean, because he's talking about things that are very important to society, to the country, to the world, as opposed to the pitfalls of modern day dating. So yeah, yeah, I agree. Jesse Ventura is more important. I just didn't, I misconstrued what you meant, what you were saying, but you're right. You're right. Let's see, you know, just for the hell of it. Let me see if the wheel really does work. I just opened up a wheel that's quite funny. Spin the wheel, make a deal, but I'm not gonna spin the wheel if it's not going to appear. I'm just laughing. Okay, okay people, all right, Ronnie, let me know if you hear the music. Spin the wheel, make a deal. Did you hear the music, or no? Because it's not the same without the music. It's just not. Okay, folks, I believe the House of Representatives and the Senate is still up for grabs. They haven't finished counting, and which is a good sign. There's going to be a runoff between Herschel Walker and Reverend Warnock of the State of Georgia for the Senate, and that's going to happen in December. We have a while before the final verdict is in, as far as who's in charge or what. But what I would do, worst case scenario, if I was Joe Biden, I would, I would stack the, extend, stack and extend the A, Ronnie S. I would stack and extend the Supreme Court, and I would utilize more executive orders being that Trump wasn't shy about using them. That's the only way, but that's worst case scenario. Okay, that might not occur. Now- Hey, what's up, James? Ronnie, Ronnie, how you doing? Did you hear the October Fest music with the wheel? No, no music. Oh, gee, I'll make the best of it. Goodbye. We'll make the best of it. How many videos did you play? You played the Jesse Ventura one? I heard that. I didn't hear the lady though. Was there one in between? Yeah, no, it was good. It was good. You didn't hear the lady. The other topics were articles, but that's no problem because I had to read. Yeah, what's going on, man? Yeah, the opening theme, I tried to use one of Jordy's songs. Yeah, no good. Couldn't hear it. Couldn't hear it. So I don't know what's going on. Obviously my microphone is working because if I leave somebody an audio message on Facebook Messenger works, obviously you hear me now. Your mic is fine. My mic is fine. It's just some kind of connection between the video and getting it out over. Right, but- From here to there. But the audio of the video was loud and clear on my computer speakers, but the mic that's involved with StreamYard wasn't picking it up. You know, I thought for a second that she was doing like sign language because she was moving her hands. Oh, no, no, no. I didn't know if maybe that was it. No, no, she was loud and clear. And so was Jordy's song. But then again, you heard Jesse. But then again, you hear me. That's strange. Yeah, very strange. Every two videos are coming from the same place. You- Same place. Looks like I always do. Yeah, I mean- So I have one work and the other one doesn't. Exactly. If the microphone picks up Jesse and me, then why wouldn't it pick up videos? Yeah, that fan dangle Friday yesterday was peculiar. Well, yeah, because he had his internet connection was shot the hell. I mean, Ron, his audio kept on cutting out. It was like bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep. And he kept freezing, but that's not the first time that it happened to Ron. I mean, he's froze. He froze many times in the past. And yeah, it happens a lot when he has a panel because his videos, even his live streams that he does by himself are clear, you know? But when he starts adding people on, he has- Well, which must mean that his connection speed is down there and his part of Louisiana is not that good. Could be that, or he could have an old computer, maybe. Now, what he should do is, I mean, he's collecting a pension from being a teacher. I'm sure it's a really good pension. Plus he works part-time. From the state of Louisiana. Yeah, plus he works part-time. I've got a part-time job. The Therns or something. Yeah, something like that. Something like that. And between the pension, A, between the pension that he gets, which I'm sure is pretty decent. And the part-time job, I'm sure he can get a decent- Well, you never know, because it varies with state. I'm sure he can get a decent desktop and a really good webcam. Okay, what? Well, it's not as webcam because you can see him fine. Yeah, so the problem is internet. Yeah. Now, is he online using Wi-Fi or is he using cable? Cause I have cable. I'm on my desktop PC. I'm using cable. I noticed that the internet quality is much better with cable than it is with Wi-Fi. I'm using Wi-Fi myself. Because Wi-Fi is affected by weather. If it goes from clear to overcast and then a storm is coming, that can affect Wi-Fi. What do you got an Irish shirt on? Yeah, it's just, when I used to hang out at the Irish pub, my good friend was in charge of security there to head bouncer and he just, he used to give me free t-shirts. Where was that? Pub 46 in Clifton, New Jersey. Clifton? Okay. Clifton, yeah. I never spent much time over there. It's a typical cozy Irish pub, you know, a dimly lit dark wood, very cozy, you know, and the food is usually good and the prices are reasonable. And it's just, and the booze is reasonable. It is nothing is mostly, I would say all pros. I can't think of a single con with an Irish pub because, you know, everything about them is great. What is that? Yeah, it's early, it's early by Mike. He's three hours earlier. So is he in San Francisco? Is that where he's from? San Francisco, I think it's 6 p.m. in San Francisco. Well, it's three hours different in here. Yeah, it's a, Jason Cleveland is at a college football game. He said it's a very important game. I says, well, why don't you, you're gonna have your phone with you, right? He says, yeah. Why don't you bring your earbuds and just type? He wants to enjoy the game, you know? And just type, well... That's why he's there, you know? Well, where does he... To watch the game. To watch the game? Yeah. So what does he do? He enjoys himself. He stands up and screams and goes, goooo! I don't know. Maybe he's a big college, do you watch football? Yeah, I never, I was never interested in college football. The problem is that the Northeast, especially the New York metro area, doesn't have good college teams. No. So, and there's a lot of pro teams around. So the people just flocked to being fans of the pro sports. No, the South and Western states have good college teams. And... No, Notre Dame is known as one. That's, you know, from up in Boston. But... Well, no. A lot of the Northeast is Notre Dame. Notre Dame is in South Bend, Indiana. No, it's not. Notre Dame is in Massachusetts, I think. Well, they stole the logo from Boston, the Fighting Irish guy, the leprechaun. Yeah. You know, the leprechaun. Going like this. Yeah, no. They call the Notre Dame... I'm pretty sure that Notre Dame is in like the Boston area. The college, the college. It really is. Notre Dame University really is in South Bend, Indiana. But there is no correlation between the leprechaun ready to fight and Notre Dame. Notre Dame is from France. The original Notre Dame... Well, that's Notre Dame. I guess you'd say Notre Dame, right? Yeah, it's actually Notre Dame, yes. In France. Right. Here we call it Notre Dame. And there's no connection between the Irish and Notre Dame in France, the French. You know, so I don't know why they stole that logo. It's really a French thing. Hawaii is considered an Irish... I totally understand why the Boston Celtics have the Fighting Leprechaun, because they're the Celtics. Yeah, and they should be the Celtics. Now, is that how it's pronounced properly? Yeah, it's Celtic, yeah. Well, they use the K, the Gaelic... No, they use the C. They spell it the same way. It's just pronounced different. Right, people don't under... They don't realize that the Irish have a different language called Gaelic. It's an ancient language. It's different from English, which they really got fucked over pretty bad for hundreds of years by the English. Yeah, the language is not even close to English. Yeah, not at all. Yeah, well, yeah, like basketball, I never took an interest for the simple reason that when basketball was invented, they decided to put the hoop 10 feet off the floor. Right, I think it's 10 feet. But the average basketball player was like six foot two. So everybody had to use talent in basketball back then. They had to shoot for points. Okay, now they just get up on their tippy toes and just slam dunk it and just drop it right in. So does that mean they should raise the basket? And I think so, but I don't care. What was that? Oh, what happened? I got to say it again. What was the last thing you said? They said you don't care. Oh, no. When they raise, when they invented basketball. Yeah, I heard, yeah. All right, six foot two and they had to shoot for points. And it was, and they, and they, and should they raise the basket because the guys are over seven feet? Perhaps. They maybe, yeah. Perhaps, you know. To what, like 15 feet, you think? Yeah, why not? Why not? Oh, I like to see the slam dunks and stuff like that. So they don't want to take that out of the game. It's like the home run for baseball, similar. The slam dunk. It gets people excited, yeah. Yeah, it gets them excited. The slam dunk, you know what I'm gonna do, right? Did you see the photos I posted of King Kong Bundy when he was very young? Yeah, I put it on the group. Put it on here. I don't even know if this will happen. Well, let me see if I still have it. Oh, it's on my phone, or I might've gotten rid of it. No, actually it's not on my phone. I actually shared it from a 1980s pro wrestling page on Facebook. Yeah. 1988, yeah. Robinson must be busy tonight and Sid. Well, Jason Cleveland says you're actually Sid and fart doctor and horn dog. Oh, Sid too? I didn't know he said I was Sid. Yeah, he says you know how to do- How to be aliases? Aliases, you know. Sid talks too fast for me with paragraphs. I can't, that wouldn't be able to do that on the side. Sid, he'll type a paragraph and send out three comments of that in a row. He's come back, I've had other aliases post messages that talk just like Sid, hey bra, hey bro, bra, bra, bra. What is that? He talks like a Hawaiian kind of dude? Yeah, Polynesians like to say bra. Yeah, bra, bra. Remember Crush in the WWF? He used to say that. His gimmick was he was a Hawaiian guy, right? You know what was interesting? My friend Anthony Laura said that the documentary, what was it? The Territory Days, Tales from the Territories. That's a show, right? Yeah, they did the Polynesian Territory. It was owned by Chief Peter Maivia. The rock, Sid? Yeah. Or his grandfather? No, his grandfather. His grandfather on his mother's side. Or was it his uncle? I think it was on his dad's side. Yeah, Chief Peter Maivia, and when he died the wife took over and other promoters tried to screw her out of the promotion. And she continued to run it. But it was, yeah, it was the Polynesian, it was based in Hawaii. Interesting by the way. These guys, they traveled the world from territory to territory. You know? Yeah, they'll stay in Puerto Rico for a year, and then they'll go to Germany or Japan. Yeah, Japan. Moving around like stay there for a year, stay there for two years. Japan wrestling. Mexico has a big fan base. Yeah, the Lucha Libre. You had two promotions. One was owned by Antonio and Okie, and the other one was run by Giant Baba. New Japan was an Okie, I think. All Japan was Baba. And then you had territories all over. Canada, you know what I mean? Stu Hart, the guy, I heard the guy was so cheap that he used to take the scraps off of everybody's whatever food they didn't eat on their plate. He used to bring a doggy back home where everybody scraps, which I think is gross beyond explanation. And he was rich, right? Yeah, he wasn't destitute. He wasn't a vagabond homeless. He was running the stampede wrestling. He was pretty wealthy, I would think. Yeah, and I heard he didn't really do any big venues. And then he got bought out by Vince McMahon. What happened was when Vince went nationwide... Yeah, that was one of the territories. Yeah, Vince didn't actually physically try to close them down. When Vince went nationwide and then worldwide, he just simply had events in big arenas, big venues. And these territories, you know, they had a... And he bought all the good wrestlers or all the big names. Yeah, well, people saw the WWE on a prime time, you know, on networks like nationwide. They saw a Saturday Night Main Event was on. And you know, the whole country saw it. So then when he came to the area, he always had his TV taping and his pay-per-views always at big arenas. He didn't used to back in the old days. They would have him at like high school gyms. Like the early 80s, right? I used to go as a kid once a year to the Garfield High School gym to see WWWF. Well, yeah, it was that. Um, 80s. Early 80s? It was 80s. And I saw in a Garfield High School gym, I saw Bulldog Brower against him. I saw Rick Martell. I saw I was Pedro Morales against King Kong, Andrew Omoska, and then it was Dominic D'Nucci wrestled, Esti Jones, the Rock. I mean, Rock, not the Rock. Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas were the World Tag Team Champions. I watched them and they were like right there. I had like front row seats that were like right there. Great, great Valentine. All the stars. Hulk Hogan. No, this was before Hogan and Rock and Wrestling with Cindy Lover. This is way before. And this is when Senior was alive. Bob Backlin was the champ? At that time, um, yeah. At that time Bob Backlin was the champion. Did you like Bob Backlin? Like as a kid? He put me to sleep every time he talked. He was hard to understand, right? Yeah, he used to mumble. His promos are pretty, yeah. Now, compared to now, you know, Superstar Billy Graham was supposed to be healed. But because he had so much damn charisma and bazaars, people started, the fans started loving him. That's who Hogan took his style from, right? Basically. Well, Hogan, yeah. Billy Graham took his style from Billy Graham. Yeah, it was, um, the flamboyant, the flamboyant wrestlers. First was gorgeous George Wagner. Then it was, um, Nature Boy Buddy Rogers in the 1950s. Early 60s. Then it was. What about the Nature Boy Ric Flair? Would you count him? Well, yeah, he was the second Nature Boy. And then there was, um, then came Billy Graham. And he was, you know, the flamboyant, bazaars and a lot. And that's, that's who Jesse Ventura looked up to. That was his idol. Okay. Because he, Billy Graham spent a lot of time in Minnesota with Vern, Vern Garnier's promotion, AWA. And, um, and Billy Graham, and then eventually Dusty Rose started with the charisma. And, um, And this was in AWA? No, where was Dusty Rose? Dusty Rose was mostly in NWA, Florida, and Georgia, and Jim Crockett. I think Georgia was Jim Crockett. Were you a fan of his? Mid-Atlantic. He was funny. I wasn't a fan because he was like, Were you able to see the shows from those territories? I only saw the old, the old WCW when Ted Turner bought, um, the, the bought out of Jim Crockett promotions. Mid-Atlantic. That was Charlotte, North Carolina. Then when Ted Turner bought everything, he turned it into WCW. This is before he sold everything to Time Warner. And then it went downhill. Um, uh, I saw, they had it in the middle lands arena, and it was hardly anybody in the audience. The biggest mistake they ever made was to book a, a, a pay-per-view event up north in, uh, WWE territory. They shouldn't have done it. They came and it was like, and all the stars that came out, they were looking around at the seats like, they're like, where the hell is everybody? You know, uh, but I watched Ric Flair against Ricky Steamboat. They, they wrestled for a long time. Where was this? The, the metalians, uh, you know, were the giants. And they didn't, they didn't have a good attendance? No, no, there was a big mistake because they were, they were trying to, what's, they were trying to go, they had too much ambition, which meant they, they, they try to go nationwide at that time. And it wasn't the right time. Like they turned their backs on all the, the Southern fans because that, that's where they started. You know, mid-Atlantic, Carolinas, Georgia, Florida. Now, Florida was Gordon Sully. May, may he rest in peace. Uh, uh, that was the Tampa Armory. Yeah. That was, yeah. Uh, well, you know, so long from the Sunshine State, he's always ended like that. And that was the, uh, Eddie Graham was the promoter. Eddie Graham. And that's where Hulk Hogan got trained and, um, uh, what's his name? Brutus B. Okay. Japanese, it was a hero, Matsuda. There was a, one of the main trainer was this famous Japanese wrestler and he broke, you know, Hogan was being a hotshot, you know, a young hotshot. And, uh, he, he fucked them up. He broke his ankle or something. The Japanese guy got, he got rough with them for a reason. And, but Hogan kept on coming back. Hogan didn't want to quit. That's one thing they liked about him. He, you know, no matter how rough it was for him, you know, he, uh, he won't quit. And, um, Billy Graham was working out at a gym in the Tampa area and, uh, a young Hulk Hogan came up to him. You know, and, and he, he idolized Billy Graham. It's like Jesse Ventura. And, um, he stuck it out. Hogan stuck it out. And then he went to the AWA and he was there for a while. Then he had a beef with, uh, Vern Gagnia, right? Yeah. Yeah. Well, he went to Japan. I think his contract wasn't over with the Vern Gagnia. And when Hogan went to Japan, Vern Gagnia wanted a percentage of what he made. I heard that also Donya wanted a percentage of Hogan's merchandise sales, like 50%. It was tough though. His school, it was in a, his school was in a barn on, on his own farm in Minnesota. Vern Gagnia had a farm and he had a barn and, and the ring was in there. And he, he put the students through the meat grinder. I mean, he had them really training and exercising and doing the Hindu squats, you know, and all that stuff. And, uh, you know, cause he was, he was trained by the, uh, the hook, they call them shooters or the hookers. They, uh, hookers. Yeah. Yeah. They were like, um, strangling Lewis Luthes, you know, where they can push you into a pretzel. They call it catch, catch wrestling. Catches, catch cans. Catches, catch can wrestling. And they, and they knew all the submission. They still say that. You know, these days. Yeah. Billy Robinson was another. What is catches catch can you sleep? Well, it's like, Right. It's similar to Greco Roman. It's, it's, um, or, or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. In other words, you, you pretty much knew how to take somebody down and put them in as many submission holds. And, uh, whatever hole they put you in, you know how to get out of it. You know, it's, it's very, it's not like college wrestling. It's more hard, much more hardcore. Okay. They still teach it catch wrestling, but, um, um, the story was Rick flair who was like 300 pounds. He was a college football player. Um, he was adopted and he's a college football player and he did powerlifting and, uh, he just never finished anything. He never really completed anything in his life, you know, with the football and everything. He quit everything. So he tried wrestling school at Vern guy and is then he quit. And then there's a story where burn guy and you went to his house and, and smacked him around and threw him out in the front of the house and, and wrote really rough them up and says, you quit everything else in your life. You're not going to quit this. And he, he, he forced them to continue training and, uh, it's fascinating story. I mean, you, you can, you can watch, you can watch so many interviews on YouTube. It says it's incredible. Hey, Jordy, sorry. I'm having technical problems. I couldn't, I couldn't, nobody heard your song. Oh, good. Oh, good. I got a fucking Christmas t-shirt off. Look at this. Every day. Look at that man. You're very festive. They look at that gingerbreads. You got beer, of course. You got beer all over the place. You got snowflakes, Christmas tree. Cool shirt. Look at that. It's like a bull sound. That's a cool shirt. Yeah. I like it a lot. And you got your lights, my favorite lights in the background. Yeah. The LEDs changing codes. I got a Cobra Espresso Espresso Martin. Pale ale. Wow, that looks good. Yeah, it's a pale ale, but it's an Espresso Martin. It's not bad. Yeah. So how are you feeling? Where's your sunglasses? Oh, my sunglasses. He's a Christmas man now. Yeah, the crazy psychedelic ones. Hold on. That's your entertainer performance. Yeah. Performing artists. Look. Performing artists. Jordi Kay. There you go. Okay, there you go. There you go. You know what I was playing? Give me a little love, number one. The first give me a little look. And nobody heard it because it's fucked up. Something's wrong with the stream yard. Well, in fact, I just sent you that just so you could listen to it. I didn't mean for you to play it because it's a six song, so you may get in trouble for playing it. Because it was. Screw it. I'm not going to get in trouble for it. That's why I use the, that's why I use the, the, the, the, the, the mermaid. Yeah. The mic, the mic will only work for certain. Yeah. See, that's pretty, that's, that's pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah. And as it, as it played the music, it's supposed to pulsate and it wasn't pulsating. And some, I had a feeling something was wrong. So you're like, oh. Oh yeah. You're like, I'm talking. Hello, Jordy. Hello, George. See how it's pulsating? Hello. Yeah. That means the microphone is there. Yeah. That means you're talking. I'm talking, but for some weird reason, when I played Jesse Ventura's video, everybody heard it. Oh, who cares? Everybody heard it. It doesn't matter. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense. When I played your song, nobody heard it. It's just YouTube. YouTube being a tech, you know, that's right. Facebook marks up marks up our separate as YouTube. The guy from YouTube being a tech. That's right. I think there's a possibility that, that YouTube is blocking people from, from using any video for any purpose. I don't think so. But it wouldn't surprise me if it did. It really doesn't make sense. I mean, I don't think they do that, but it wouldn't, it wouldn't surprise me if it did, you know. No, it wouldn't. No. Nowadays, it definitely wouldn't surprise me. Yeah. Now Elon Musk wants to charge people who, who want to keep their verification, their identity verified on Twitter. He wants you to pay a subscription fee just to be verified, which is nothing but you know, you send a copy of your, like your photo driver's license and it says it's got your photo. It's got your name. It just verifies that you are the person on the account in the profile. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Follow up on something like Twitter. Oh, that asshole. Oh, no. No, no. He's a fucking asshole. No, no. No, he's a scumbag. He's like, he's like Zuckerberg, you know, he's like Zuckerberg without the nose, without the big nose, you know, yeah, hold on. I'm talking to some people. Oh, sorry. Sorry.

I don't know if you've noticed that or not. I don't know. Did you hear me fart in there? So you heard me farting? I was trying to be quiet about it. I was doing it. Here, I'm gonna wear my crazy ass shades. Oh, there we go. James, you look fucking cool man. They're green. No, no, no, those look like swimming goggles. Those look like swimming, swimming, swimming goggles. Yeah, they're like nobody could see where I'm looking.

Looking cool. You know where I found? What's that? You know where I found these? I found these. I haven't seen them back again. I found these in a dollar store, believe it or not. In dollar store? Yeah, for a buck. Oh, man. Yeah, that's pretty fucking good. I think they look pretty cool for that price. Oh, yeah. I figure you got your shades on, you know. I don't want you to feel like. Yeah, I always do that because the reason that I do that is because I look like shit and I'm always stoned. So, I put my shades on. So, there you go. Yeah. Well, Ronnie's Ronnie is so used to being stoned that that his eyes are have adjusted, have acclimated to. Ronnie's Ronnie's cool. Ronnie's cool.

Yeah, I put myself a bone weight to him, I was supposed to go but the thing fucking broke which pissed me off because that that thing cost me fucking twenty-five quid. I bought a bong at twenty-five quid and the thing fucking broke. What happened? You were talking with your hands and you knocked it off the table or something? No, I was drunk and I was stoned so the the bong fell off the fucking table and it fucking smashed. It's glass. It pissed me off dude because it was twenty-five quid, you know. Yeah, it cost you money, sure. That twenty-five quid is fifteen hundred dollars. No, no, no, no, twenty-five quid, mate. And dollars is probably, probably twenty quid, twenty dollars. I don't know. No, no, no, no, no, that's not right. I don't know. Look up twenty-five quids. British to convert to a quid is a hundred, right? No, it's not a hundred. Twenty-five, twenty-five quid is not one hundred dollars. No, that's not right. No, how much is a quid? How much is a quid? One, one dollar ninety-nine cents, I think, I think. I'm not, I'm not entirely sure, dude. You, you need to google it. I've got, I'll be right back. I've got to go for a pass, man. How much, how, how much per pound in quid is quid? Like, if you went to a fish market and you bought some quid and you wanted to pay for it with quid. I don't fucking know. Like, how much quid, how much quid costs the fucking quid? I have no idea. I'll be right back, guys. Okay. Got one pound is probably like one dollar nineteen and or something. I don't know. I don't know. Fucking, why the fuck are you asking me when you got Google there? Google the fucking shit. I don't know. Quid? The exchange? He seems upset. Yeah, he's, um, he's a little, uh, oh, he's a little, um, what do you call, uh, agitated. Better get that. It's not mine. It's his. Maybe it's one of those groupies. I, uh, I was only making a joke. I, I didn't, I didn't expect him to give me an answer about how much quid is a squid per pound over there. Yeah. Or they don't use pounds. These, was it kilograms? Kilos, uh, grams. Kilograms. Kilograms, I think. Kilograms, yeah. Yeah, I, I knew when I talked to my international friends, I have to go to Google to the conversion. They use Celsius? Yeah. Yeah. They, they go by Celsius. Not Fahrenheit. Yep.

When I, uh, when I played the, the, the video of the, of the, uh, young lady that was mentioning the 13, 13 red flags, warning signs that you, you need to, you need to turn around and run away from the woman. Oh, hey, he's got some. Don't, don't get involved in the girl. Yeah. He's got his shades. He's got his shades on. Well, he does, uh, you know, he does, uh, he looks like a secret agent man.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. See, that song's about sex. I know. I listened to it. It was pretty good. And I also listened to part two, the second version of it. Give me a little. Games, I fucking love you, man. You're a, you're a, you're a, you've been, you've been, you've been, um, sorry, fucking drunk right now. I'm just, I've just drank a 10% beer. Give me a minute to get my words straight. I'm, I'm a Jordy K fan. I'm a fan of Jordy K's music. James, I fucking love you, bro. Thank you for playing. Any, any of my music, you can play any of it. It's copyright free. You know, I start that, I start that shit from scratch. You know. It's really, it's really, um, I really don't know what is going on with StreamYard, or maybe it's Google. Maybe Google's not allowing any video. James, so, so, so you heard the Nate energy. Give me a what the wolf. Oh, yeah. The vampire song. Yo, yeah. But that's the, that's the second. Was that the second vampire song you did or the original? That was the second one. The second. Yeah. Now the use, you still have the original one because I don't know if I have that. I sent, I sent you the night energy. Give me a little love, which is a song about sex. Give me the best song I've ever done. It's basically about, um, what, what I done, the song was was, it was about my ex-girlfriend. And my ex-girlfriend and me, we split up and I met her for one day, one time. And it was the most amazing night I ever had. Do you, do you pour, do you, what are they, what is the custom in Scotland? Do you pour Scotch whisky on her clitoris and lick it off? Suck the Scotch? That's weird that you mentioned that, but no, not whiskey. It was a whipped cream. It was, we wait, we wait playing around with it. You know that squirty cream, you spray it and then the cream comes out. Yeah. I wiped it off on apples. As long as you don't mistakenly grab the can of shaving cream. I'm sorry, by the way, James, this may be getting a wee bit too dirty for the stream. If it is, I'm sorry. That's just what I talk about though. No, don't, don't, don't apologize. You know, we're all, we're all guys in a locker room here. Exactly. I just thought that, like, no disrespect, but I love Ron was from Louisiana beer reviews, but I swore on his wife's stream before and he didn't like it. Hey, you know what? That's not a bad title. Like, if I go live and I decide not to do anything serious, I can call it like the alpha red pill locker room or something like that. The alpha Louise. Can I tell you something? Louisiana beer views. I love, I love Louisiana beer views, but I don't want to go on there because I know for a fact I will swear and I will be too drunk. You know? Yeah. Yeah. He's, he's a, it's two things he's a stickler for. He's high maintenance. Cursing and tying. He's very clock conscious. Yeah. We're, I'm, I'm different. I'm just show anything, anything fucking goes, you know, but we're different people, I guess. I like to do a show like, you know, you sent up a hot air balloon, you know, the balloon goes up in the sky. Yeah. Yeah. And, and, you know, you can come down with the balloon or you can go up, but whatever, wherever the wind decides to take you, that's. I'll tell you what, I love going on, um, Ronald's wife's team. So Louisiana beer reviews, Louisiana beer reviews. It's awesome. He's awesome. I love Ronald's. It's just, I don't know. Did you watch Fandango Friday, Jordy? Yeah man, uh, Ronnie, I've been, I've been on Fandango Friday, Fridays before as well. I've been on there. I've been on the wife's teams on Fandango Fridays. Um, the reason I don't go on there is because I swear too much and I don't want to upset Ronald. I love Ronald. I think he's fucking brilliant, you know, got a very educational to go. I don't, I don't, I don't want to upset him. I love Ronald and I don't want to upset him. That's why I don't want, you know, because I swear to, I swear too much, you know, and, you know, I like to talk about history with him. I like to hear him, uh, enlighten people as to, you know, the fine details of history. Oh, James, Ronald knows his music as well. He knows his music. He's a good music, what's that? He knows his, uh, got it, got it in your mouth. He knows his music. You're absolutely right. Ah, he's cool with, he's a cool guy, man. He's honest with a cool guy. Yeah, it's just that he has to, I don't, I don't know what his, um, internet connection is with his desktop. He would, I don't know if it's wifi or cable. Now I have cable. I don't know. I have a cable connection and knock on wood. I have no complaints. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I have no complaints. Well, of course I have a complaint tonight with the stream yard, but it's not, it's not the... Hey, complaining is fun. It's not... Well, hey, James, James, what does that matter? You're here with some, you're here with some people here, so, so good. Yeah, no, you know, I played the, I played the girl who was talking about the red flags, you know, what to look out for with the girl. And nobody, nobody hurt, nobody can hear her. And, and, but they heard Jesse Ventura. So it, like Ronnie said, it's very strange, bizarre, like you heard Ventura, but then you can't hear her. So I'm wondering if it has to do with the some shenanigans that YouTube is pulling off. Right. Okay. Okay. You know, maybe, maybe they, they put a block on, but why should, you know, why should it not work? Because it came out of speakers. Like when I, when I, when I... It could have been them. You never know. It could have actually been them, you know. Like, like, like you, you're coming out of my speakers. Jesse Ventura came out of my speakers. And if, and you could hear it. Okay. Yeah. YouTube came out of my, the YouTube video came, comes out of my speakers and the mic don't pick it up. Well, so what, what happened with someone, that someone trying to join that was taking the person? Yeah. Oh no, there's no problem with guests. I mean, I hear you, you hear me. I mean, yeah, that's not an issue. But it's, it's, it's weird. Just like, like Ronnie was saying, like, how could I play the Jesse Ventura video and everybody heard it. I played Jordy K's, give me a little love and nobody heard. I played the chick about the, what to look out for it. Nobody heard it. Play any, any of my songs, whenever, whenever you're live, play any of them. My, I would, I would love to, I would love to play them if I knew, if I knew it was going to be picked up by the microphone. I have no idea. I am not, there are... Well, don't worry about copyright shit, copyright. I'm not, copyright, copyright can suck my dick, not that shit. You know what I could do? One time I had an issue and I, I, I sent the message to StreamYard on, on Facebook and they got back to me. So maybe I could, I could tell them about what happened and maybe there's a reason. What do you got there? Hold on, hold on, hold on. Screw it. I'm going to, I'm going to crap this one open. India Pal, Pool of Life, Brewing Company, Pool of Life, IPA. Oh, cool. That looks good. Only 4.7%. That's it. No, screw it out. I'm going to open this one. I'm going to open this one. You know, because Michael has some really damn good... I'm going to open this one instead. Damn good strap, strap beers on the West Coast. This is a velvet stout. Five point six percent, hold on. Not bad. Five point six. That's not bad. It's not that bad, I guess. Especially the style. Yeah. In here, we got the double imperial IPAs and, and stuff like that. Let me put my fan on because I still got the air conditioner on. I mean, the humidity gets to me. They're distilled. Hey, yeah, let me put the fan on. I mean, I lost those. So what's going on, Mike? Not much, not much. Just disabled, disabled. Got a rolling machine and going to be working out on that. And it's really nice. How about you? What did you think about Florida on Tuesday night? That was big news. Red wave, man, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Why don't the Democrats do well in Florida, Ronnie? Why don't? Well, they used to. They needed to be a swing state. Yeah, but what the heck happened to the Florida Democratic Party? The theory is that over the past like two, two and a half years, a lot of transplants moved from states with lockdown laws and moved here to get away. And then most of them would vote Republican now, these days. So maybe perhaps they thought they were going to bring their views, but then they ended up kind of assimilating with the local views. Well, I think they made that. They would have made that view, and that was the reason why they left the state that they came from. I was part of it. So they made that up before they moved here. Their state not conservative, I think. But makes sense. That's a theory, anyway. Oh, hey, what's going on? But that's just a theory, bro. Happening in Oregon a little bit, too. Here is Mr. Bart Robinson. Cheers, man. Hey, Bart, everything. Well, we had some technical difficulties, some glitches on here on StreamYard, but everything's good now. It was not bad. Anchorstein, Christmas Hill, and a warm night. Yeah, you're damn right it's warm. Anchorstein, Christmas Hill. Oh, yes. It's warm out there right now. I've got the air conditioner on. Really? OK, man. Enjoy. Enjoy. Cheers. That's good. Humidity, you know, Bart, it's humidity. And it's warm, you know. Yeah, cheers. Groundhog Day. Cold out there today. What is this, my heavy beach? But it's going down. I think tomorrow or Monday it's going to dip. We're going to get the winds of November come early. Yeah, it's supposed to go down to the 70s here. Typical autumn temperatures will come and move any day now, and I can't wait. Tomorrow, I think. There's a cold front rolling into the East Coast. Well, it's been fucking cold here. It's been raining. It's been cold. It's been fucking frosty. So it's probably going to fucking snow in the next two or three days. So yeah. Or you get snow in Scotland? Yeah, we get it crazy. Why wouldn't he? Because of course, it's a different place in the fucking point. Of course, because I heard the Gulf Stream. I heard the Gulf Stream besides hitting Iceland hits the islands, the UK islands. I don't know. You didn't think they got snow? We still get snow, Bart, but it's not as heavy. It's the old fucking thing. So I saw a tourist commercial for Ireland. They had the special palm trees, Irish palm trees. Where have I heard that? Irish palm trees? Irish palm trees? What the fuck is that? I got to look that up on Google. I've never heard of that. What the fuck is Irish palm trees? I'm sure Scotland has. What the fuck is that? I've never heard of that in my fucking life. You don't have Scottish palm trees? No. On the Gulf course? On the Gulf course? No. I swear to my wife, I've never heard of fucking palm trees. We don't get fucking palm trees here. We get fucking normal trees. We don't get palm trees. We don't get palm trees. Well, it depends where you are. If you go to Spain, you get palm trees. We don't get palm trees in fucking Scotland, though. To Rani, a palm tree is normal. No, we don't get palm trees in Scotland. If anybody in Scotland has seen a palm tree, then they're fucking tripped. Well, didn't say Scotland. It said Irish palm trees. Irish palm trees. So maybe they're in Ireland. You can't get palm trees in Ireland either. That's just talking about that. Maybe they were going home. Maybe they lied. You physically can't get palm trees in Ireland or Scotland. So he's talking shit. Maybe they lied to get tourists to come thinking that it was like that. Yeah, but that's bullshit. That's bullshit. We physically can't get palm trees in Scotland or fucking Ireland. So this guy's talking bullshit. He's like the magical Irish palm tree that gave you good luck, you know, like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Like a four-leaf clover? Like the four-leaf clover that killed the electric car. You know, Eric Fraunfelter actually had a rainbow touchdown in his backyard. And he showed me and I said, Eric, run out there and see if there's a pot of gold. There's supposed to be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. He says, no pot of gold and no leprechauns, nothing. Did not happen. Really? He got screwed. Damn. Who said that? Eric. Eric Fraunfelter. Yeah, I was a metal 75. Oh, Thomas Middle 75. He's cool. He's a cool guy. Where the heck is he? You know what he did to me like? I don't know. You know he did. Yeah, where's he at? He should be joining up on the stream. Wait till you hear this for a year. Wait till you hear this, gentlemen. Last night at about 3.30, no, 3.45 AM, he sends me a video chat on Facebook Messenger and woke me up. And he was just ranting about stuff and he was a wee bit intoxicated. James, what did you say? Then catch on, man. Then catch on. What did you say? I think catch on, man. What all? He, no, he sent me a video, a video chat request on Facebook Messenger at about 3.45 AM. And he was like, he just wanted a chat and I was asleep. Wait, who was that? That was Thomas Middle 75. Oh, Eric, right, right, OK. Eric. Yeah. Eric's pretty cool. Yeah, he's cool. I don't know him that well, but he seems pretty hot. He seems pretty cool. Oh, yeah, yeah, that guy's cool. He does seem pretty cool, but I've never spoke to him that much. I spoke to him a few times on Ronald and James, you know, but that's it. He's cool. He hella helps you out and stuff. So he makes sure everybody's like, yeah, like, like JPM and like Roddy and all you guys. He he helps people have a good time. He's, yeah, that guy's cool. Yeah, he's a cool dude because he's got his own band as well. He's how's that? He's got his own band, but I can't remember the name of it. Oh, it's like Forge. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, good luck to him, man. He's a cool guy. He's got his own band, you know. You know, it's kind of cool to going out to the bar during the daytime and just hang out there then and then coming out, coming back at home and just hang out at home during the nighttime. What's better? Yeah, that's what I do. That's what I do. I go to my walk-up up and I do some walking. I go to my walk-up up and I do some beer reviews. I mean, the beat, the pop, yeah, the pop that I go to. Well, I sometimes go to the nighttime, but I usually go to the daytime. It's a pop cup with a spoon and they do these guest deals. They do some different beers. So I I'll go up there and I'll go on a live stream and I'll review all the different beer that they do. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I used to do a ton of craft beer. As a man, just if anything would keep me on alcohol, it would be craft beer because you are. Yeah. It's literally hops and fruit. So basically me. Yeah. Hops and fruit, yeah. Hops and vanilla, even sometimes. Especially fucking citrus. Citrus is your most prominent citrus. Tangerine, tangerine and orange is your most prominent. Satsuma. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. And your citrus pay whales, you know. Yeah. Yeah, man. I can't think of. Yeah. Oh, well, I've got so many American friends that I'm going to send some stuff there. So yeah. Cool. Nice. I'll send you some fucking some fucking United Kingdom beers, mate. I mean, the one I'm drinking right now is hold on. I can't. I don't drink, but I'll do stuff like we'll check out other stuff. Okay, so the one I'm drinking right now is espresso martini. Nice. Wait, a martini beer? An espresso martini. Oh. Espresso martini, yeah. Espresso martini. Yeah. You can see that there. Espresso martini. Where was that made, Jordy? Where's it from? Scotland. Scotland. Hamburg. Run it, tape up. Run it, see if you're going to tape it up. Look up Espresso martini, but look up cold brew. Do you know what it is? Okay. So a wee bit of a backwash. So when you Americans, so when you Americans say cold, us Scottish people say cold. Cold. Cold. So, okay. So if Ronnie was shivering, he would say, God damn guys, it's cold in here, but me personally, I would say it's fucking cold. Yeah. I've heard that before, yeah. That's what that means, cold. Jordy. Yeah. People say cold before. Yeah, see, you know what I'm talking about? Yeah. Yeah. I know what you're saying. This is a cold brew. This is a cold brew. And this is a coffee in Espresso. What the fuck's it called? Espresso martini. Nice. It's nearly finished. It's nearly finished, but yeah, yeah. It's very nice. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. Ronnie. situation I have to take care of real quick. Three beers left if I can drink. Beep beep beep beep. Anchor's doing it. Yeah everything's, everything's okay. Well good. Mark Robinson doing it. Oh I wanted to say something about the cold weather. I think the now damp cold is pretty cold. It penetrates. See James that's about a lot. See when we're all talking. We're all talking. We're all having a good time. The only reason I didn't join the last teams was because you were talking about politics. Well that's what the show has been about for a lot, many years. I mean I have to think about it. I know. I know. Yeah I can't, I don't want to be a hangout like the other people's hangouts you know at the hotels. I like it. I like it when you get the video with it's just me, you James and some other people but wait. Well we're doing it now. I don't understand it. I don't understand it. We're doing it now. I mean just the first hour I want to get the serious topics out of the way so. That's all. I'm young. Okay I'll say something. I'm young. I'm young. I'm dumb. I'm broke. So we're young dumb and full of come. Oh yeah yeah. I'm broke. Well yeah but you see what I did when I was done with my time. I posted the link. James, James, James I fucking love you brother. Love you brother. Let me, let me, let me finish. I posted the link when I was done. You're gonna be like, don't be like Colin McMeneman. He interrupts. He interrupts. Oh name dropping James. Oh Colin? Oh no see him in. Yeah but Colin, Colin goes off on a tangent about abortion and about he believes that a fertiliser. Oh no see this is the thing. I can't be arsed if that the thing is when I join, when I join I just want to have a laugh and have a few beers for you guys. No, no he's he is obsessed with this abortion issue. He thinks a fertiliser, he thinks a fertilised egg is a baby. I said no it's not, it's not a baby. I'm not getting involved with that shit. Right. I don't, I don't either. I just, I just make my statement short and sweet but he goes on and on. Okay I'll tell you something. I love Colin. I love Colin. I think he's a cool guy but I can't be arsed with the fucking, what's that shit? Yeah I mean I think he's a very talented man. He's a great musician. He's a great singer. I love his music. James right? But you know I can't deal with that extremist obsession that he has about the abortion issue. Would you say he's like a mega mega? No I wouldn't call him a mega. He's a little too devoured as a Catholic. Let's put it that way. A little too devoured you know. Okay can I say, James, James thank you for having me fucking. I love you buddy. I'm gonna go peace and love and happiness to you. Ronnie, cheers. Have a good one Jordy. Nice to meet you. You'll, where's the mate? Jordy are you gonna do a Jordy's Den? Do you buddy? No, well maybe. There's more to life. What I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do a gaming stream. I'm not gonna do a live stream. I don't even know if you do a Jordy's Den. I want to know. You're a human. Ronnie, you're always welcome up on Jordy's Den. Let me know if you do it. Yeah man, you're always ready to join in tonight. You're gonna go do a Jordy's Den tonight? Do you know what? Fuck it. Why not? Yeah. We'll go. I just want to go and do the booze hell and hang out and go. Ronnie, it's your choice. You're a big boy. My choice. I'm hanging out here. I'm here for a while. Because I started bringing up some serious topics, he's split. But it's true. I like the guy. I like the guy. Can I ask, imagine being somebody's wife while he gets on stage telling women it's just what they can do with their bodies or not. But as a wife, you've got to be at least a little just consternated about that shit. Well, life is about balance and it doesn't seem like Jordy's interested in balance. I mean, he can't talk about anything meaningful or deep, God forbid, with him. And if it isn't about music and partying and what he's drinking, he doesn't want to be a part of it. Now Jordy is a very refined person. Refined. Yeah. You hear what I told him? I says, when I'm done with what I was doing, then everybody can come on and just relax. And I posted the link. I said, okay, I'm done. And I posted the link. But he kept cutting me off and saying. Now you're the only one wearing sunglasses. And he wanted to, yeah, that's enough of that. And he wanted to do the non-serious hangout right from the beginning. And that goes against the title of the show. The title of the show is not about partying and drinking and hanging out. Now, yeah, that's fair. I mean, I was nice enough to say, I said, you know, look, when I'm done, then we all can relax. I don't think that was unfair. I don't think that was unfair. So Mike, you got cold? Did I get cold? Yeah, no, I have too much. I have a couple of, I have a couple of thick, I don't know whether to call them jackets or shirts or I think they're more like a jacket. I have two. You got a car coat? Yeah, I have one that's quilted on the inside. And I have another one that's got fleece on the inside, but they're like that. They're plaid. They have the pockets. Shack it. Shack it. I think they're very comfortable. They're really nice. Yeah, my bus driver said, yeah, yeah, my bus driver one morning, shortly before the guy freaking left. Anyway, he pointed out my shirt. He was like, nice. And people like jackets, man. It's a shirt and a jacket combined. You could wear it as either a shirt or a jacket. It looks like a shirt, right? But what is it? Is it insulation inside? Yeah, it's thick. I think it has insulation inside. Yeah, yeah. It's really cool, guys. But is that what they call it? Is that what they call it in the fashion industry? A shacket. A shacket. Yep, they call it a shacket. I didn't know. See, I learned something though. Hey, Ronnie, if the Democratic Party embraced not just women's but men's rights more, do you think they would start to get back some voters? In Florida, you mean? Men? How's that? You mean in Florida you're asking about? Florida and other states, like if the Democrats adopted not only women's but men's rights, perhaps they would start to get men to vote for them again. Things like that. I don't know about that. Men's rights, what would you say would be like a right? Your right part, Robinson, you're correct. Just men's right to choose. Exactly, yeah. You got the women's right to choose, so you have the men's right to choose. The men are content with being unattached and just doing their own thing and not chasing any skirts, you know, and I commend them for that. What would be another men's right, what would you say? A men's right is a less... Right, you have to get yelled at all day every day. That'd be pretty sweet. A bossy, you know, and not to have a woman to boss you around, shall you? These rights be enshrined in like... Well, not to have an amendment. Not to be expected to pay for everything, you know, just because you're a man, you know, how the waitress always hands the man to check at the restaurant. I think what I think is really... Well, that was some couples 250-50, but... Irritating, yeah. I've heard some talking about people talking about that reconsidering the woman's right to actually vote, because she votes with her emotions. I've heard this circulating lately. You're absolutely right, Rania. They're emotion governs their decisions, unfortunately. Even if you work for them, even to God forbid, and you have a female supervisor, I notice they apply emotion and always drama in the office, and they play favorites. Talk about office politics, but yeah, you're right. That's just the way... They're different. They're not the same as men. I hate to break the news to the feminists, but they really are different. Men just don't manufacture reactions, you know? They don't manufacture emotional responses toward other people for the sake of trying to achieve some kind of approximate narrative in their head that they want to insist on. It's just women could work on the truth a little bit more, I guess. I always deal with... I always focus on facts. If a person can't prove what they're saying, then there's no sense of debating anything, really, unless you can prove it. And it could be anybody, really. It doesn't have... It could be any political party, any race, culture. It doesn't matter if you can prove... Oh, I don't want to have an issue with any women. It's just I think that some women, maybe they've been bothered a little bit too much sometimes, perhaps they have. But at the same time, it doesn't give seven in every 10 women the right to get mad at you, the second you even just sit by them on public transportation. Uh, I mean, my gosh, how many times seeing a woman kind of walk in the seat or kind of get mad if you're sitting anywhere near them, but the guy makes room for you. The guy that's all, oh yeah, here, make sure you have enough room here. Oh, good. Yeah, yeah, you're a cool... Yeah, because he's being the... Take the high road. He's being the chivalrous gentleman because he feels that might get into her panties. Yeah, I feel like some women on the bus or public transportation are really worried about some guys sitting next to them. Do you take public transportation a lot in San Francisco? I do. And there's this freaky relationship between kind of male and female passengers have noticed. Like they go to... Is it crowded? Like how the subway is? Maybe not too crowded, but it's like they put a great length to avoid each other. It's just nobody talks, nobody picks a word. Is that your main mode of transportation in where you live? Yeah, yeah, I take either the bus or the ferry, take a ferry back. You can transfer ferries, which is pretty cool. So, yeah, I got to transfer ferries, Ronnie. You do a little boats down there, Ronnie? Yeah, yeah, I have a good night. I don't have one. I wish I did, but... I just wanted to say that... There's a lot of boat activity. The cold temperatures are very refreshing and energizing, as long as it's not damp. But I have a cold... Cold temperatures? Yeah, I like the fall and winter. It's very refreshing and to breathe the cool air. Well, at a certain point, it gets too cold though, which is probably like December, going into December. It's very energizing, you know. Temperature drops. The 50s, the 50s feel good. The 50s and the 40s... The 30s don't feel good though. Well, because the freezing point is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Yeah, so you're just in the freezing area, but that, you know, goes down to the 30s. But any bold guys tonight, because I'm trying not to use AC, you know, if you get all these clothes, you might as well use them instead of be lazy and turn on the AC or turn on the warmer every time. Well, you know, Michael, the same thing is happening over here. Nobody talks to one another. Nobody converses or tells Joe... Do you use the public transportation in New Jersey, James? Well, I take advantage of the free shuttle buses that we have. At least tell a joke. Yeah, a joke, right. Free shuttle? What is that? Free bus. They're minibuses. They're like, you know, the white minibuses. They're... What do you use them for? Like doctor's appointments? Go shop. Yeah, go shopping or doctor's appointment. Is that through Medicare? No. No, it's the town and the county, or for them. Bergen, right? You're a Bergen county? Bergen has their line of shuttle buses that are free, and they pick you up right in front of your residence and they take you home, right? They drop you off in front of your residence. Is it anybody? Or you have to have some kind of qualifications? No, no. They never ask me for any qualifications. I just tell them, I need to go. I need to be somewhere. I have an appointment. They come and get me. Will you tip the guy when you go? You're not obligated to, but the older people, this guy, Tony, helps them with their groceries. He carries them to the door and they tip them. You know, he helps them out. But the buses in this town, they have shopping routes where they take people's shopping centers. I haven't taken a New Jersey transit bus in, oh my God, it has to be two years now, because I've been taking these free buses. Free buses. That's pretty good. So why would anybody take the public bus if you can get these free buses? Well, if you have to be somewhere that's not shopping related or you need to go somewhere for another reason. Would you take the ferry, James? There's ferries that go from Edgewater Marina right down the hill from me to New York City to Manhattan. You can take the Staten Island ferry, right? Well, this is Staten Island. This is called New York Waterway ferry. Its main objective is to bring people from New Jersey to Manhattan, either Midtown or downtown. Downtown would be where the World Trade Center used to be, right? That would be downtown. Chai Beka. The village, Canal Street, Chinatown. Yeah, yeah, so you've got every 20 minutes. Wonderful day we're back and forth. Now, the bus, the New Jersey transit is only 15 minutes from where I live to New York Port Authority by Times Square, 42nd Street. Port Authority. Yeah, the Times Square, 42nd Street, you know, where the ball drops for new years. I'm only like 15 minutes bus ride. Oh, cool. So you can take buses and ferries all over. My area is nice, but they don't have a ferry to take you past the one station that we have. And you can't take a ferry from Marksburg to say Sausalito and back. You can only take it to San Francisco and back. And plus, they don't have boats to take you to the neighborhood where you're at. So then everybody has to get into their cars and it makes it tough to get a ride. It's very, very messy. That sounds messy, right? Well, ferries are gray and also they are also light rails. We need more light rails. Modern rail? Which is candy, which is like a modern day trolley, to be honest with you. Oh, you need trains. You know what? There are no trains in my county of Marin County. We have maybe one smart train, but we don't have a train to San Francisco, believe it or not, which is a tragic. Can you imagine if there was a high-speed light rail to take you from your area to San Francisco? I cannot imagine for a while. And San Francisco to, let's say, Oakland and back to, you know, back to Lark's. Oh, well, they have one from SF to Oak, but you can't get from Oak to Marin by train. You can't get from SF to Marin by train, you know? So both sides, they're keeping the train out of the area and that's how they got locked out. It's because they kept making it difficult for customers to want to come into the city, into the county to access it from the city, because some of the people from the city apparently are undesirable, you know, riff-raff. Yeah. Well, I can't see anybody from San Francisco really wanting to go to Oakland. I mean, everybody, San Francisco is, I'm sure, a more pleasant place to visit. San Francisco is more pleasant now in Oakland. You can go to Jack London Square. It's awesome. It got stranded there one time. Ran out of debit card transactions and just got stranded and took me forever to get a ride back to Marin. So also got stranded in Berkeley one time. That was no fun. Just, yeah, so public transportation kind of sucks in the Bay Area because you can take part, but you can't take part to Marin County. Yeah. Because if you took like Ubers, it would cost you a fortune. It does cost you a fortune. It runs you a good dang near a hundred bucks. Yeah, what much rather like owe somebody a hundred bucks for doing something stupid, but don't want to owe somebody a hundred bucks for something that you could pay like a two fifty-four. See, they were supposed to, they were supposed to start a light rail project throughout the country. Like you said, the word monorail. Yeah. They're like the similar. Like from Escape from New York. Oh, with Kurt Russell. Yeah. How they have the train, I guess you everywhere very quick. You know, I don't remember that part. I have to watch the movie again. Mr. President. I know, I know, I know the wrestler, the scary wrestler was Ox Baker in that movie, the late Ox Baker. Oh boy. Yeah, that'll be great. Like if, I mean Amtrak just just bought its first high speed bullet train, only one. So, I mean, other countries have it. Even China has a beautiful high-speed rail system. I've seen photos of it. It's like luxurious inside. What is this? The high-speed rail. You know, they have Asia, Europe, high-speed rail systems that we don't have yet. Well, they're, they passed something here in Florida. They're putting one in the announce between Tampa and Orlando high-speed rail. Yeah. And there's more to come. I'm sure there's more to come. Yeah, I'm sure there is. I mean, I mean, a high-speed rail. I mean, just think about it. You go in 200 miles an hour and you can put a glass of wine on your table and it won't even vibrate. It won't spill. And you're in a high-speed rail. The one in China, no, they all do it actually. Japan has it, Europe has it. And you put, you don't even feel it. It's so smooth and they're so luxurious inside. And I can picture after Tampa to Orlando, I can picture Tampa to Orlando, Orlando to Daytona in Augustine, Jacksonville all the way down to Palm Beach, you know, right down to Miami and the whole, you know, the Panhandle. Please, so a change just to take you from city to city. Yeah. Yeah, like Amtrak but upgraded but modern. Not that piece of crap Amtrak. I took the Amtrak one time and it's like, you can't even urinate. You're trying to aim in the urinal. Well, that's how the Long Island Railroad is. You try to eat something and the sandwich goes, hits your cheek. You ever took the Long Island Railroad? No, why? Is that bad? Well, that's how it is, how you describe it. You're on a train, you know, it moves. It's an old-fashioned train. Sure. It's like, it's not a high-speed. No, no, no, no. And then the like, also the thing with a high-speed train is that you better stay the hell out of its way, you know. You'll be disintegrated. So you gotta be careful of accidents too. You'll be, you'll be, you'll be obliterated. I wonder what they choose, what pathway like to go through to get to the one city to the other? Well, they make stops, you know, they slow down and they make the stop and then they pick up speed again. Like Amtrak, they said much faster, but the light rail is just a mini version of that. Curious to see what like neighborhood they, neighborhoods they planned to go through. You know, they could have it in California. Sure, why not? They could have it. They could have it in New Jersey. Yeah, they could have it starting from New England, going all the way down to Miami and taking, you know, taking people to all the major, connect all the major cities on the East Coast, going right down to Florida. I mean, there's a lot of people who really don't want to fly. I mean, and especially the way it is, they're not, their customer service is a lot, has a lot to be desired. Yeah. You know, they cram people and now, you know. You're honestly fine, folks. Well, I had a bad experience on United Airlines. What happened? Yeah, I was, I took United Airlines from Newark, New Jersey to San Diego and my, even with the seat forward, my knees were still touching the seat in front of me and they told me, oh, no, we have Wi-Fi. You can, you can, you can go on the internet and, you know, it's a five hour flight, but you can, yeah, right. I couldn't, the internet didn't, I couldn't open it up. I couldn't connect. So, and then you got to pay, you know, you got to pay for the food, the airline food, and before it was included, you know, whatever the ticket was, you got airline food. What about taking the train instead of flying airlines? That's exactly, that's exactly what I mentioned, a high speed rail to give people an option that don't want to fly. I don't want to fly. Flying just, I don't know. You're, you're forced to be around people who you don't know for an, not half an hour, not 45 minutes, like an extended period of time, especially after being in lockdown. Like, I'm, I'm dealing with shit because of lockdown and not, not just lockdown drove me nuts and sure drove a lot of people out there nuts and it's just a lot of people freaking out when they're getting on airplanes now. If you see that on YouTube, just man, well, you got to feel bad for them, but also you got to be just like shocked about just the effect of this dang pandemic on people. Can't even travel. Sorry. The primary, the primary highway here in northern New Jersey is Interstate Route 80. And you know, it goes right to San Francisco and it's, it's still Route 80, going into San Francisco. Yeah, it connects from New York to San Francisco. You know, of course, you know, it goes by Chicago and the other cities. That's the final destination. Route 66 ends at the Santa Monica Pier, from what I understand. Route 66. Yeah. You'll get your kicks on Route 66, like the old song. That's how we know. Ventura highway in the sunshine, where the days are longer, nights are stronger than moonshine. You know, be a good gimmick. Like if you, if you wore, if you wore like surfer, surfer, you know, like you dress like a surfer. On a night like tonight, yeah. Tonight's not the night. Not tonight. Not tonight. So it's nice to be in, James. It's so nice to go out during the day. So then just come home and be in and hang out at home now. I mean, isn't that cool? Yeah. It's, oh, I was in Trader Joe today. What'd you get? Well, I wanted to get extra organic ground flaxseed meal that I put in my cereal. Yeah. I got some organic pumpkin, a few cans of that, because I make these sourdough pumpkin pancakes. Yeah. And they do taste better than the ones at the IHOP, that's for sure. And, you know, a few items, because I was, the shopping area where Trader Joe is, where supercuts is, that's where I got my haircut. Look pretty good. Supercuts. Yeah. Nice haircut. Yeah. Thank you. I told him high and tight. High and tight. Yeah. Buzz it. Buzz it. Zero. I want zero clipper. Zero and high and tight. Cool. Because it grows like a weed, you know. For me, for me to get like a trim here and there would be total waste because I would have to go every week. Yeah. I go maybe once a month. Yeah. Yeah. A month. Sometimes I overextend it. True. Yeah. I overextend it. When I go is when my hair starts to get bushy. Using the comb, using the fucking comb again. Yeah. Using using the comb where when you get out of bed, you look like you look ridiculous. And if you don't use the comb, you look ridiculous. Yeah. You got it. You got a comb and well, my hair is coarse textured. So when it when it grows, it gets it gets like a like a tumbleweed. It gets bushy. So I have to get a buzz. You know, I notice if you have to comb your hair, always comb it in the direction the hair wants to grow. Because if you start forcing the hair to go in a different direction, that's when you have a bad hair day. Of course, you let the hair go in the direction it wants to grow. You don't make it go the direction you want it to go. So yeah, like the hair, everybody's hair has a different pathway of growth, you know, like, like mine likes to go sideways and down almost like bangs, like side and down. Mine does kind of bangs too. I don't like bangs, man. If I if I try to if I try to comb it back, yeah, I have a hell of a time getting it to look, you know, I would have to put shit in my hair to be able to do that. I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to get, I don't want to dirty my hair with all that crap, you know. I only use like one product, that's it. Yeah, it's a non-greasy product, right? Yeah. A gel of some kind. Yeah, also trying to make my hair blonder. I guess if that works, but um. Oh, I remember that stuff. They used to advertise that son in son in was called son in. Something like that. You can make, you can change kind of the color of your hair, I guess. Well, you can get just for men. Yep. You can get just for men hair coloring and it works. If the trouble is, you know what son in was? It was hydrogen peroxide with some moisturizers in it. That's all the active ingredient was hydrogen peroxide. But yeah, if you can get well just for men, the lightest they have is regular blonde like golden. You know, then it goes to dark blonde and light brown and medium brown and so on. Nice, nice. Yeah, not gonna go out later tonight. I thought might get a second wind, but instead just thinking to stay home. You know, once you're home, it's just, it's nice and comfy to be home, right? Like once you go home at a certain time of night, you don't go out again, right? Well, with me, I just feel once I start to feel tired and sleepy. Plus the places, well, I don't even know if the clubs are open yet, but if they are, they don't get crowded until like 11 p.m. It's a very late night in the night clubs over here. Not until 11 p.m.? Yeah, like they start coming in after 10 and it peaks at 11 and then more people come in at midnight. Then they stay until closing time, which is around three. Are they all drunk basically? Yeah, that's the problem. That's the problem. They're all drunk and they drink until they puke and that's dangerous. And then they go to a diner with their friends and they're very intoxicated walking into the diner. Mostly the girls. The guys never, I never seen guys go from the club to the diner and stagger in. It's always the girls that come in, they're loud, they're screaming obnoxious, they're drunk as can be. It's embarrassing. It's like the people that work in the diner are like looking at them like, here they come. But the guys, they just get a table, order something nice to eat and just converse. Yeah, kind of like movie swingers with the pancakes at the, in the ending. He's all, don't give me that shit, like, pancakes. Was that, how's that? I'm so used to healthy pancakes that I could never go back to crappy old buttermilk pancakes, plain old buttermilk. I can't go back. I'm so used to the good stuff. Oh yeah, like whole grain and stuff like that. Yeah, but when I make the sourdough starter, and I put it in the pancake batter, the longer it stays in the refrigerator, the tastier it gets because the sourdough is like, it's like yogurt, it ferments, you know, and you open up the container and you get a whiff of it, you can smell it, and then the taste is incredible. But I let it, you know, yeah, it's always better when it's older, and it never gets moldy with sourdough starter, never. It's like putting beer in a wooden barrel and letting it age, or wine, fine wine, or whiskey, letting it age, you know, it just gets better with age. And that's the effect the sourdough has on the pancake batter. Yeah. Cooking is really not a problem. I mean, people, a lot of people whine about cooking, and they say, I don't cook, I don't cook. You know, I always, I always like doing it. Well, it's good to cook. It's fun, it takes some time, and you gotta keep doing some of the same things over and over again, but it's nice. I got my kitchen, sharp kitchen knives, I got my cleavers, I got like two Chinese cleavers that are like really sharp, and I got another chef, I got a chef's knife that's really sharp, and I, you know, I got the cutting boards, yeah. I mean, you know, I always watched cooking shows when I was a kid. Cooking's good. You got that Chinese guy, Martin Yan, Yan Can Cook. I don't know, don't know Martin Yan. He's in San, his restaurants in San Francisco. Oh yeah. Yeah, Martin Yan, because the Chinatown is pretty good out here in San Francisco. Chinatown's really, really good. They have a lot of good places over there, yeah. Yeah, should probably, if transportation wasn't so kind of messed up right now, could and limited after work could easily stop in for dinner in Chinatown, but with COVID and with many people still not going back to the office, it's just commute is really, really sparse. Well, you have, now you have the Armacron variant. I got my booster, but you know, what's after, what's after Armacron? It's like, it's like one variant takes over. What's after Armacron? Could be anything. I don't know. It could be anything. I mean, it gets worse. I don't know. It gets worse. That's the problem. Every variant that comes around is worse than the one before. Yeah, hopefully no lockdowns anymore. Oh, God, imagine that. You know, one blessing came from the lockdown and that's companies, companies had their office workers work from home and they got so used to it that they decided, you know, this is working out. You know, and then you could outsource that job to somewhere else though then. Yeah, people, people are still, office workers are still working from home. I mean, Eric, Eric works from home. Really? Yeah, you know, he doesn't have to go to the office anymore. How do you work solely from home and how do you do it without getting outsourced, without your job getting outsourced because somebody can do that overseas, you know, because this country has not learned a thing about outsourcing yet. Yeah, that's a problem. Yeah. Well, you know, customer service is in the Philippines now. All the American, all the American customer service jobs are in the Philippines. That's an American. God knows 50 cents an hour or a dollar an hour, you know, manufacturing, of course, is all in China. The politicians always say, oh, we got to bring American jobs back to this country. Yeah, get the companies to do that. They got so used to having cheap labor do everything overseas. You think they're going to like decide to, oh, let's, let's move everything back to the United States and pay top dollar for labor. Yeah. You know, they're not going to do that. Yeah, it's a tough situation. It's probably progress. It's a path of progress, you know. Well, that train to that train between Marin and the rest of the Bay Area, that would have been a lot, that would have been a lot of progress. James, it's, it's really, really annoying that he doesn't have a train that traverses the Bay Area that is limited. Well, if they, if the United States got their head out of their ass and they had, they had the modern rail system that they have in China, because I know what they have in China. They have, not only do they have the high speed rails that connect cities, but they have light rails that are also high speed. Right. And people, people, the average person there does not need to buy a car, you know. Oh yeah. Yeah. If you're in New York City, you don't really buy a car. You buy a car for the weekend. They, well, it's, you know, with the price of gas, how many people actually go for joy rides anymore on the weekend? I mean, you can drive just to drive kind of like a pastime, kind of like a hobby. That sounds cool. I want to get my license so that can even just drive around. Like, like if they have a, somebody has a sports car and they go, they take that road that goes right along the Pacific Ocean. It's a special road, right? That just goes. 101 Highway. Is that what it is? Is that the one that goes like Carmel Carmel, California, Monterey? Yeah, that's it. And want to get my license so that I can drive around places like that and not be bothering my downtown area and my town all the time. You know, it's like, want to go travel and see some other places sometimes. Yeah. Well, it's crazy to take a car into the city, any city. It's, it's, I wouldn't do it. Parking, parking in the garage, try to find a parking space, try to remember your car where you put it. Where is it? The whole thing is a nightmare. And then you have to deal with tourists. Tourists are always all, who are you? Where are you from? And it's like, wait, first of all, you don't want to talk to me on public during my morning commute and maybe make my day, but you want to be nosy about me and turn me into like another page on your pamphlet. But yeah, hey, young man, where, where, what parts are you from? Not those parts. I come from down, I come from down yonder. Oh, you're over, you come from over yonder from Chicago. Oh yeah. I'm from the east side of Chicago, which is basically the lake. So. Yeah. Well, Chicago is actually, it's actually on the side of it's the southern end of Lake Michigan, but it's on the east side of Lake Michigan. And it's facing, it's kind of facing west, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then my friend, Nick Von Raven, he's in Chicago. He's from there. He says, he cracked me up. He told me, Milwaukee is a shithole. Yeah, Milwaukee. I haven't been to Milwaukee in a while. Yeah. A lot of, a lot of small cities are, are really impoverished, so to speak. Portland. I think Portland is terrible. Yeah. You would never think that a city in Oregon has, has problems. Yeah. Land of the hippies and whatnot. You know, hippies wanting to burn shithole. It's just okay. I thought you only do that with one thing. Well, Portland is on a river that separates Oregon from Washington from what I understand. It's, it's, it's not, it's not, it's not on the ocean. It's kind of a little inland, but it's on like this river that separates the two states. And Seattle, well, Jason Cleveland and Seattle, their, their vacation spot is to go to some parts of Oregon that is where tourists go. And he also goes to some parts inland in Washington towards the mountains because he's on the coast. So, you know, what is he going to do? He's going to stare at the ocean when, on his, on his, his days off. So, or they go, he, he, he liked Vancouver. He, him and his family, he would go to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, which is quite lovely. He sent me photos. Yeah. Yeah. Seafood's pretty good up there, I imagine. Seafood's good. Yeah, especially Northwest is amazing. And Northwest is a lot different from, uh, yeah, the upper Northwest is a lot different from California, uh, just to let you know. Washington, Washington is, um, they have active volcano. They got, they got snow cap mountains. They got mountains. They got a lot of Sasquatch sightings. Yeah. They got, they got tons of apples. They probably, they probably grow every apple known to man. A lot of weed sightings too. Weed? Yeah. Weed is so, weed is so awesome. Uh, you know, just wish it was, you know, federal because it seems like it's just a lot more effective than alcohol. With alcohol, you say and stew, you say and do stupid things that you wouldn't do on other things like weed. Weed doesn't cause those things. Well, weed makes you mellow. Weed, I never heard of a person looking to pick a fight with anyone who smoked weed. You want to talk to people in the weed bar. No, they're friendly. Yeah. Yeah. But people in the alcohol bar a lot of the time, you're seeing just the effect and you're seeing, hey, you're not and have been there myself to be totally honest. It's a, you're to be totally honest with you and everybody have been there and it's like, you're not being yourself. No, they're, they're nasty. They're, they're, they're horrible. When people get drunk like that, but marijuana, they're all like relaxed. I don't know if I ever showed you my, my brother looking at this, it's an, it's an LED hands-free flashlight. Nice. I'm fine. I'm fine. That's a cool flashlight, my man. Oh yeah. It's, it's very, it's bright. You know, it's rechargeable. USB port. I can, you know, you don't have to buy, buy a D batteries like, like for the old. So you don't do nightlife that much anymore, James? No, never since, ever since the lockdown, since the last time I was in a nightclub was, was before the winter of 2020, before the pandemic lockdown. Would you go back? Well, all my friends, well, I still have, I still have friend, couple of friends in the area that are left, but they're they're 20 minutes west of me, you know, with the, you know, the one guy works, you know, he runs the, the gentlemen's club. He, I think he works seven days a week. So I wouldn't, I don't like going up on myself, you know, or am I going to go? If I go, they, they're all like in their early twenties, there's no, there's really very, very few nightclubs with all the, all the people in them. Hey, Jason is here. Huskies won. He beat the number 16 in the country, jubilation, jubilation, jubilation. So Jason is better late than never, right? You know what happened tonight, Jason? That's really weird. Oh, we were talking about the Pacific Northwest and where, where you usually like to go with your family. But anyway, then we were talking about high-speed rail, how badly we need high-speed rail and high-speed light rail. But what I was going to say was when I, when I started the show, I played one of Jordy Kay's songs from, from YouTube, that everybody could hear my voice with no problem, but they couldn't hear the song, they couldn't hear Jordy's song. And it was coming loud and clear from my computer speakers. Then I played the Jesse Ventura video and everybody heard it loud and clear. Strange, right? Okay. They couldn't hear Jordy's song, but they can hear Jesse Ventura's video. Then luckily, a lot of the topics were articles. So, you know, I read them and of course they can hear me. Then I played this YouTube, this video of this young lady talking about all the red flags to look for, for guys to look for in a woman and who not to get involved with. They couldn't hear. I could hear it. It came loud and clear over the speaker, but the StreamYard microphone didn't pick it up. Okay. They did not pick it up just like Jordy's song. But why did they hear Jesse Ventura's and not, not the other one? Strange. Something, it's really weird and, and Ronald Terrio had a weird happenings with the, when he went live with the panel. When he went live with the panel, but not when he goes so low, he has no problem. So that's bizarre. I mean, every sound comes out of my speaker. So why would StreamYard allow my microphone to pick up some sounds and not others? And my hunch is, could it be that YouTube, YouTube is putting a stop to videos being heard on, on through other programs, other apps? I uploaded a video earlier today and I could barely hear myself. Oh, really? But, but, but you did hear your voice, but it was the volume was so super low. Uh-huh. Yeah, it was there kind of barely had a better time speaking on Instagram earlier this week. Yeah, you're back to normal on Instagram. Yeah, but now YouTube is a little bit messy. Something weird is going on really across the board with the internet and social media, I don't know, something's going on. Dogs that won't stop barking. Yeah, you, uh, you, what I like about your shows is that you, you tackle many different topics. You're, you're, you, you, you don't do the same thing over and over. Oh, no. Yeah. Try to center all around the idea that society is bullshit. But then just, I didn't say participating in society is bullshit. I said that society is bullshit. Carl Johnson on Grand Theft Auto, he says, blame society. So, um, yeah, just blame society. But you know what? I can't get too mad about society now. Can I? Because it gives me a lot of good material for my YouTube channel. So there you go. Well, you know, just like me, with the state, the world, the country, the world, and society is in total chaos. I will never run out of material. Oh, no. Yeah, it's, um, it's manipulative, but it's, um, it's marketable. So, yes, it's marketable. Now, there was a time when your, your microphone was not recording your voice on Instagram. Then all of a sudden it went back to normal again. Yeah. There was another morning where I was barely hearing myself and barely talking. And then it went to think wide, wide spectrum, wide spectrum. And then on that spectrum, it kept on coming back. You could hear the voice again. It was in fact really, really clear. And you could hear the voice even carry itself a bit, right? Like a good microphone is like your voice carries, right? Right. Yeah. Exactly. Hey, isn't it funny how Chris Cuomo started doing the walk and talk uh, video shows like you do? Yeah, yeah. That's awesome. Have uh, yeah, finally, not the only one, uh, was feeling a little weird. Walk and talk. No, no, no. If he does, if he likes it, then it's fine. Yeah, yeah. You know, I would like more people to talk, you know, tell me what's on their mind if they, if they can, or tell me what's uh, what are they really thinking about? You know, it's, it's nice to know with somebody, maybe not everything going on in somebody's mind, but it's nice to know just how to read other people, right? Now, let me ask you a question. When you, when you, when you go live on Instagram. Yeah. Does, is it, is it also a recorded video that appears on your profile? I think you can record video. When you go live, does it record and say, is it save? Oh, yeah. So you're going to say to download it to your YouTube channel. Oh, cool. Cool. Yeah, yeah. We'll try to do that. So do you, like, like, do you have like, are they on your Instagram profile now, your walk and talks? They're on my Instagram. I think I could probably download those and upload those to our YouTube. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You could, yeah. You could definitely upload those to YouTube and, and then you'll be everything, everything you do won't be wasted, but we all record. That'll be a new playlist for the channel too. And you, you said something also earlier this week about, I think the description section that you told me about for. Oh, the hashtags. Yeah. Yeah. AKA the tic-tac-toe symbol. I don't know, man. I've always been very lazy with my channel. It's like I kind of just upload and there you go. Thanks for voting on the poll, by the way. So hopefully that question made sense. Yeah. Yeah. I like your, when you posted that, that, that survey, the survey. That was pretty cool. Now, and then I mentioned to you about the community on YouTube, the community. Community. You can put messages, links, banners, you know, you can, you can, you know, give certain messages to your audience, type out anything you want to say, photographs, anything you want. It's saved to the community, which is like an apple. And then people, people want to know what's new with Michael with Western Mike on YouTube. They can read it. Oh, it's Goldsmith. Now I changed it to Goldsmith. I changed it to my family name. James. So your, so your, your dad's name was Goldsmith? His was Goldsmith. Yeah. Goldsmith. Okay. He was Hilton. My mom was Goldsmith for a while. And yeah, I'm just really just felt, really just wanted to be more of a Goldsmith. So Yeah. Yeah. Your mom, your mom's side of the family was Goldsmith. Your dad was Hilton. What's that? How's that? Mom's side of the family is Goldsmith. Your father's side is Hilton. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Basically, thank you. Yeah. Yeah, man, that's her. Oh, someone's like Gold member, you know, Austin Powers. Yeah. Yeah. Gold, gold, gold. I love gold. The Dutch, you played the Dutch guy from the 70s. Yeah. The, the, the gold jumpsuit with the big bulging crotch. What's the full thing about people not going out anymore? They're 30s. Like during their 30s, people tend to stop going out. Well, I tell you one thing. It's a trend now. Guys are, guys are not going out, trying to hook up or pick up anybody. They just guys are going about their life, going about their business. And if somebody, if somebody is in destiny, throw somebody in your path, and so be it. Yeah. Yeah. My thinking is always, you know, if the universe permits it, then it'll happen. But yeah. Yeah. If the universe, let's just say if the universe permits it, that it will happen. But if the universe permits it, that it shouldn't, then. If the girl's really interested, she, she will give you signals. I mean, you don't, you don't have to like rack your brains trying to figure it out. Well, then that's probably not interested. Yeah. If you got a decipher her behavior and say, does she like, does she like me? Does she not like me? Does she like me? Does she not like me? It's then to get it. For me crazy. Yeah. So, what a waste. What was I talking about? We were talking about Italian food, about pizza or talking about something about Italian food. I, well, you know, I was eating so much scallops in my homemade spaghetti sauce. Yeah, I mean, I mean, it's I love scallops, don't give me room. But I've actually got tired of scallops and tomato sauce. So I think next time I'm going to make a white sauce with, I would have to get some white wine to make the white sauce. It involves a lot of parsley, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, black pepper. Or if you want, hot pepper flakes, you know, the flakes and the pizzeria, the flakes. Do you like ramen? Because you can do that with ramen. Oh, I got Japanese noodles galore in the cabinet. But do you go out for ramen? Do you go out to eat sometimes? I could. I could go to Mitsuha. We have a huge Japanese market. I'd go to Mitsuha and get Udon or ramen. Got ramen today over at this place at the mall. The mall had this awesomation place and just got some Tonkatsu ramen. And man, oh man, it was awesome. And they found it funny how I was trying to open the juice that they gave me. It came in a really weird bottle. But yeah, it was, it's really good. And it was only like 20 bucks or something. It was awesome. And ramen came with an egg. Oh, yeah, I was going to say that sometimes they put like a hard boiled egg in the ramen. Yeah, yeah. And they will give you that paprika too, or that hot pepper stuff too. And you can just wriggle it all. Yeah, the Japanese have a particular hot chili pepper powder that you put on your soup. Yeah, yeah, they do. This is a Miso ramen. They're different styles, different the seafood ramen. They use like, it's a special sauce with, it has dark soy sauce, fish sauce mixed, seaweed extract is in there, usually bonito fish. And I have it in the cabinet. It's from Japan. It's a concentrate. Here, let me see it. You put, I'll show it to you. You put two tablespoons. Hold on. I'll be right with you in a flash. I'm going to charge my iPad. It's going down. Yeah, I'll be right here. My iPad is, my iPad battery is sinking like a boat in the Bay. It's good. Okay. Hang out my dust might less bed while we hang out here with a dust might less bed less while hanging out here with James P Madonna of Progressive Discussions. Okay. All right. I'm back with the stuff. All right. I'm going to show you this is the one for noodles or, or it could be, you know, could be used for soup stock. Cool. It has a Nendon's company season soy sauce. It has the fish, seaweed extract with the soy. And let me see if I can find the ingredients here. Yeah. So you put like a couple of tablespoons in the water or after the noodles are finished, you can put it on the noodles and mix it. If you're going to do a soup stock, you can use this also. And it's good. I usually buy soba, which is a Japanese buckwheat and yam noodle. I get the udon, which is the second one. I get the ramen. Well, I picked the egg ramen. They have this yellow ramen. Yeah. It's, yeah, it's tasty. I get that. And I, and sometimes I get somen, which is a, a angel hair Japanese noodle. Yeah. I get somen. But that, that cooks real fast. That you can't walk away at like, you're talking about like a minute. I guess as soon as you drop it in the boiling water, it's like practically done. Yeah. But ramen, ramen, I would say is the most popular Asian noodle then. And then the Chinese rice noodle, the Chao Fun and Chao Mei Fun is very popular also. But as far as the Japanese, they, they eat a lot of soba though. They, they have a, a recipe where they, they put the soba on ice after it's cooked, they chill it. And, and it's, it's usually a Sapporo Hokkaido tradition. You know, they serve the cold soba news and you take them and you dip them, you dip them in something like this. And then you read it. Nice. Yeah. It's good. Nice. It's helpful. All right, James. Yeah, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna close it up. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Yes. Thank you. Thank, thank, thanks to everyone else. And like, like Ronald Serio said, I made the best of it. I tried. So take care.
