Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. “Milkshake Song” Premiere & Uplifting Messages

7. Society, Art, and Overcoming Shame

• Encourages drawing, regardless of skill, sharing his own progress and failures, and arguing art is a meditative act in a world filled with chaos.

  • Compares and contrasts the art of Hitler, Ringo Starr, and Hunter Biden, ultimately recommending art as personal therapy.

    Quote:
    “There’s nothing to do about the fact that wizards are casting spells on unsuspecting Somali women in front of grocery stores. But one really positive thing you can do is get better at art.” – Duncan (91:41)

[Duncan Trussell]

Ah, you're here. I knew you'd come. Boy, we have got a lot to cover today. There is cover. There's so much going on in the world, so much happening within your own mind. There's so much everywhere. Where are you? You work? Hope you're doing great. Kind of socks you wearing? These are the questions I have. Go ahead, chat. Tell me what kind of socks you're wearing. I'm super excited to premiere a new song by Clint Klangler. This is you. Most you already know who this is. Listen to the podcast. We got to be friends and clit sent me this new video that's going to be dropping soon. Do me a favor for those of you who are. I don't know if you can record this or how any of this works at all, please. But don't record this. It's. It's basically. He told me I could play this if I told you guys. Don't spread this around and. But it's exciting. You're going to hear it on all the radio stations soon. But yeah, go ahead and play the milkshake song, Josh. This song is such a jam, too. He's so, such a talent.

[Josh Cabat]

Here we go.

[Clint Klangler]

I work at a daisy queen making m every day filling up cups with sweet ice cream. Did you want Oreos mixed in your shake? Here you go, baby, it's 488. As a surprise, here's a free bag of fries, dip in the shake it tastes so good you might cry O baby, I'm a making shakes all day When I get home I get get in the bath, clean myself with my tongue just like my cat? Pull on some jammies and get in the sack and dream about shakes till the morning? Ooh, baby, I'm a shake man? Making shakes is my master plan? Cold as the arctic, sweet as Japan? You better believe I do the best that I can and when I get home, I get in the bath, make Myself clean like a cute little cat. Put on my jammies and get in the sack and dream about shakes till the morning. Casey runs a register and Mary, she's my manager and Horace, he makes a prize When I'm making shakes he gives me the stank because I thang Mary in her car last week and Mary's his fiance at least that's what he thinks. And when I get home, I get in the bath, lick myself clean like a beautiful cat. Put on my jammies and get in the sack and dream about shakes till the morning. I use B.F. skinner's philosophy to program the masses when I sing. By now you've tuned me out and that's okay because it helps me access your deep embrace. Driving in your car, not listening while you succumb to my conditioning. You're powerless and dumb and need the help. Strong leaders to keep you safe. I'm a cake man just like my dad Filling up cups with that creamy jam. Oreos and Skittles I'm happy to add if that squat you all made a difference do. And when I get home, I get in the bath, lick myself clean like a beautiful cat. Put on my jammies and get it in the sack. Dream about shakes till the morning.

[Duncan Trussell]

Oh, man, that is such a hit. And we need songs like that right now. I gotta say it, you know, I don't know what's going on out there, but it seems like people have allowed themselves to succumb to a kind of gloomy desperation and. Guys, come on, you gotta snap out of this. Everything's fine. The world's beautiful, yet. Did we use some kind of incredible brand new sonic weapon in Venezuela that makes you puke blood and makes your ears and nose bleed? I don't know. I don't know. It could be, but I've got inside information regarding this weapon and a lot of people are thinking this is some kind of Havana Syndrome. Shit. Some people are connecting it to potentially the UAPs. Interestingly enough, the side effects from being around UAPS happens to be the exact or similar symptoms that people in Venezuela reported when they experienced whatever the fuck this sonic weapon was. You can actually look it up. I'll dig it up here in a second. There's a Freedom of Information act report on, like, what people who get around UAPS have experienced. And we don't. The point is, we don't know what it is. Or do we? One of my insiders has sent me information regarding what these sonic weapons are, and so I'm not going to obviously play a sonic Weapon on the dtfh. If I did that there would probably be car accidents. You, I don't want you to fall over and puke blood or anything like that. But yeah, go ahead and pull it up. For those of you who aren't aware of this thing and why would you be aware of it? Honestly, and I think it should be interesting. A Milwaukee M18 fuel 120 miles per hour. That's a great deal on a leaf blower. US used powerful mystery weapon that brought Venezuelan soldiers to their knees during the Maduro raid. Let's, let's roll down a little bit here. In a jaw dropping interview, the guard described how American forces wiped out hundreds of fighters without losing a single soldier kill using technology unlike anything he's ever seen or heard. We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The guard said the next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones flying over our positions. We didn't know how to react. I know how I'd react. Get the out of there. But these few mini said came armed with something more powerful than guns. They were technologically very advanced. The guard recalled. They didn't look like anything we fought against before. What in sud he said was not a battle but a slaughter. We are hundreds, we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed it felt like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. Then came the weapon that still haunts him. At one point they launched something. I don't know how to describe it. He said it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. The effects were immediate and horrific. We all started bleeding from the nose. He said some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground unable to move. We couldn't even stand up after that. Sonic weapon or whatever it was. Now you can cut that. Thanks Josh. Most of you are probably aware of an interesting phenomena that happens when you are in the proximity, close proximity of a Sasquatch, Bigfoot, skunk, ape, whatever you want to call it. And these creat creatures, they make fascinating vocalizations that are. It's completely different from other that you hear out in the woods. A lot of people say it's like cougars or something or like horny bears. I'm gonna play some Bigfoot vocalization sent by my source just so you get an idea. And before I play this, whatever you do, do not amplify this. If you amplify this pat like if you turn the volume up really high it will make your nose bleed and you connect the dots here, friends, I'll connect them for you. Apparently what this new sonic weapon is is amplified Bigfoot vocalizations. That you put them through a big enough speaker, like a rave level speaker, like a psychedelic trance Goa speaker. And it doesn't make your nose bleed, it makes you your pants too. The guy didn't mention that because he was embarrassed, but yeah. Let's go ahead and play some of these. These are vocalizations I bet you haven't heard yet. If you're a crypted vocalization connoisseur as I am. Let's go ahead and play the first one. Jo. Can you believe that? Like if. Can you imagine being out in the woods and you hear that?

[Josh Cabat]

The hell is that? Is your nose bleeding? And I think I got a wipe.

[Duncan Trussell]

Take your headphones off. Just turn it down in your headphones. You've told you before the show, don't turn your headphones up too loud. Play the next one. Turn my down, dude. Turn my headphones down. I just. My pants. Dude. I told you before you came in here, man. Play, play. Okay, now these are legitimate. These were recorded in the Anirondacks, deep in the woods. The legitimate recordings of something out in the woods. Whatever the this thing is, I never want to hear it. And I certainly. If I was in Venezuela guarding Maduro, this is the last thing I want to hear after high tech soldiers used AI to launch hundreds of rounds of bullets at me. I mean, it seems like you should start with this, you know? You know what I mean? Start with the this. Like if they have something that makes you fall down and bleed and your pants, why do you need bullets? Can't you just do that? Go in, get Maduro and split. Why do you got to use the bullets? Go ahead and play the next. I'm not a strategist. I don't work for the military. But it seems like you need to kill everybody. This next one's up. Sounds sick. Play that one again. It sounds like he's puking again. He sounds. It's a sick Bigfoot. I guess they get sick like any other creature, but.

[Josh Cabat]

Wow.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah. So these are Bigfoot. For those of you just joining us, these are Bigfoot vocalizations sent to me by an insider. Apparently these Bigfoot vocalizations are being used to deploy like these sonic weapons that are people up all over the planet. These everyone being knocked on their ass by this these days, like it happened to my friend. They're not just using them in Venezuela, by the way. I think they're coming from satellites. But My friend said he was walking from in and out and he his pants and heard something sounded like that, but deeper. Okay, go ahead and play the next one. What the. Is it humping? That sounds like a Bigfoot humpy play.

[Josh Cabat]

What the was that?

[Duncan Trussell]

That is so weird. Holy. Man, that is really hot. Regardless, I don't want to be out in the woods and hear that. I don't. I honestly could have gone without hearing that right now. I wish I'd actually screened that before playing it for you guys. I hope I don't get my channel taken down, but, you know, this Cryptid is out of control these days. There has been an uptick encrypted sightings by 80%. And for those of you who are into crypto, I don't think it's an accident that they call it cryptocurrency. If you will notice, I had an AI do this for me. Anytime Cryptid sightings go up, bitcoin goes up. Did you know that, Josh?

[Josh Cabat]

Yeah, I saw that.

[Duncan Trussell]

So when you start, you know, hearing about, like, cryptid sightings, I'm going to show you one in a second. That is spooky as hell. And, you know, as a dad, I don't know how many of you are dads, but as a dad, you're a dad. Josh, maybe you can, like, every once in a while, as a dad, you, like, show your kid things and you're like, what have I done? Like, there. I'm definitely getting woken up tonight. Like, he's gonna have a nightmare because of this thing that I just showed him. But you just do it, and then you. You're like, why? Why did I just show him this? But see if you can. This. This one might be hard to look up Google. I don't know. It's like this weird new Cryptid Bigfoot video of this fucking thing peering around a tree. Like, look up. Cryptid looking around a tree. There's a name for these things. It's so spooky. Went viral, went everywhere. But it's legitimately creepy, man. I mean, anything could be AI these days. You know what I mean? I personally don't use this stuff, but anything could be. That's not it. Let me see if I can find this. Anything could be AI So I guess we have to like anything we look at now. Is it real? Is it not?

[Josh Cabat]

But is there any of these?

[Duncan Trussell]

Hold on. I could just find it. Creature peers around a tree. Hide behind. Look up, hide behind. That's what they're calling these things. God, we're all Getting so dumb. Hide behind creature. Oh yeah, I got it. I got it. Here, I'm gonna share this with you.

[Josh Cabat]

Is it one of these?

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah, that's it. That's it. The Hide by Play that one with 38k views.

[Josh Cabat]

This man caught the so called on camera in a spoof.

[Duncan Trussell]

Okay, just take a look at this. Look at the tree. Guys. Take a look at this. Look at this. Hate this video. Watch, watch. What the. Did you see that? Play it again. It looks. This does not look like AI to me. Look at it. This thing leering out from behind a tree at an angle.

[Josh Cabat]

It completely disappears behind.

[Duncan Trussell]

Well, right, yeah, it like lines itself up with the tree. Let's read the comments, see what people are saying. See what the people have to say about this. Comments.

[Josh Cabat]

Oh, are you talking about the comments on this video or the comments?

[Duncan Trussell]

The comments on this video.

[Josh Cabat]

Yeah, this is it.

[Duncan Trussell]

Okay, scroll down. Lumberjacks drink alcohol because the high. Keep scrolling down Squatch. Okay, this is an expert here. It says, yeah, you did the right thing by walking away. Do not provoke it. Like, okay, first of all, who the fuck is going to provoke this creepy ass creature camouflaging itself who doesn't walk away? Do not provoke it. The high behind is a dangerous North American folklore creature who attacks without warning. It can cause death by snatching prey and disemboweling them with claws. Read more. I love that this person is an expert on this. It will hide behind anything and stalks humans often. You should have brought a fire source. Because the hide behind is afraid of fire and fire will ward it off. Is this. If you feel like you're being watched, leave the area immediately. And if you're in your home, remove any food. What? Seal up openings. I guess the hide vine could follow you all the way home. But when I go in the woods, man, I always feel like I'm being watched. Don't you? Like it's easy to feel like you're being watched in the woods. I used to go when I was living in Asheville, North Carolina. I would go hiking in this beautiful place and. But it was like really, really creepy and deep, Deep Appalachia. And there was like a. Interesting. I don't know what it was. To this day I'm uncertain of what it was. But it was like some kind of cult or commune or something. All these like weird cabins and stuff. And every once in a while you'd see people walking out of there. And they all believed that there were like gnomes and fairies that lived up in that area. And like one. Like one dude. Where we were looking for a house. I told him I've been hiking up there. It's big ivy for those of you who live up there, I love. It was my favorite hike. And I told this one guy was hiking up there, and he got real weird. Like, what are you doing going out there? Like, it was dangerous or something. And. But you, you know, you would run into people out there that. That, like, it was weird. People just show up out of nowhere. Like, once I was sitting with my kid throwing rocks into a creek. And, like, out of nowhere, this weird dude shambles down, like, the other side of the creek and is looking at us, pointing at us, throwing rocks, and it's like. And then darts off. It was so creepy. I look back at the fact that I was out there with my kid. Not with no gun, no bear spray. I feel like such a. Because who the knows but you would pass. Like, I passed a couple of, like, witches out there who are like, you know, I know that sounds weird to say, but I'm pretty sure they were witches. They weren't dressed in hiking gear. They were dressed in, like, it looked like homemade clothes. They had, like, weird little pouches and not like your normal Ayahuasca hippies. And this is like, deep in the woods. You just run into, like, strange, strange characters out there. And always this sense of, like, being watched. You're just so vulnerable out there out in the woods.

[Josh Cabat]

You didn't happen to hear, like, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, like, with a banjo or anything, did you?

[Duncan Trussell]

Is that a Deliverance joke that.

[Josh Cabat]

I'm just saying that would scare the out of me.

[Duncan Trussell]

No one's recovered from that scene, by the way. No one's recovered from Squeal like a pig. That's what you're referring to? That's the most up. You can't even say it on YouTube. Scene but holy. That was so disturbing.

[Josh Cabat]

Foreign.

Some kayakers, Burt Reynolds, of course, they decide they want to go on a kayak trip. And, you know, they go out there in the woods, they encounter some people living up there in the woods. Some. He plays this incredible song on his guitar with this kid with a banjo, by the way. The story of that is that was they. They. That was real, like, yeah, he just started playing with that kid. And the kid was really good on his banjo. And then of course, they end up getting stalked by these horny rednecks, like. And it leads to the most horrifying scene. I can't say the word on YouTube where. God, what's the actor's name? That Ned. Ned Beatty. Ned. Look it up. He never escaped that, by the way. That followed him for the rest of his life. Ned Beatty. Yeah. Poor Ned Beatty, you know, take your panties off. Called his underwear panties, I think. Nasty, nasty. And that's who he picks Ned Beatty to. To bang down out there in the woods. Like, not even like, pull up Ned Beatty. Deliverance. Let's do a side by side analysis here because it's like an interesting choice. I don't want to call it a plot hole, but it seems fascinating to me that of the. Of the cast of Deliverance, they picked Ned Beatty. There he is. And not beautiful Burt Reynolds. And it's like, zip, down, vest. Because like, if I'm a horny redneck out there wanting to get some kayaker ass, I'm not picking Beatty first. I'm going for Burt Reynolds. Yeah, you can pull that up. That's the scene. It's really disturbing. What about the other dude with a mustache? Jon Voight? No, they go for Ned Beatty. That really speaks to how lonely men get out in the woods, you know? You got to be so lonely to bang down Ned Beatty in the woods. But I do have a story. Kind of derail me here, Josh. I do have a Ned Beatty story. My dad was somehow involved in the Ken Stabler celebrity golf tournament. Can you pull up Ken Stable or celebrity golf tournament?

[Josh Cabat]

Yeah, is him.

[Duncan Trussell]

That's Ken Stabler. And I guess he would have some kind of like. Well, you have a golf tournament, and they'd get celebrities like Ned Beatty to show up and play golf. And my dad was somehow involved in this. I don't really understand it. I was pretty young, but when I was a kid, my dad took me to one of these, and I ran into Ned Beatty at a grocery store because he was there for the celebrity golf tournament. And, you know, I was a little shitty kid, and I saw him, and the first thing out of my mouth, of course, was, squeal like a pig. And the look of despair on Ned Beatty's face. I'll never forget it. Like, I don't know how I thought he'd react, but I was just excited to see Net Beatty. The question is, like, at that age, why. Why had I seen Deliverance? It's a better question.

[Josh Cabat]

I don't know why. I picture a little kid, but still with a beard, like squid, like a pig.

[Duncan Trussell]

But, yeah, I saw Ned Beatty. I said, squeal like a pig. And he got this look of such profound sadness. And he said something like, that's the third time I've heard that today and just walked off. So that. So Ned Beatty, wherever he goes, somebody's telling him, squeal like a pig. Squeal like a pig. He never escaped that, which is really sad. But these Cryptids friends, they're out of control right now. There's a lot of interesting things that are happening right now. You know, I'm a. I'm a weirdo. You know, I don't. I. I don't know what the word you kids use for it these days. Neurodivergent. I hate that word. But, you know, essentially right now, if you're a noticer, there's a lot to notice. One thing that you should always look out for when is echoes. Like, you should always look out for, like, whenever things start echoing themselves, it means that you're in some kind of chaos vortex. And by that, I mean, we've had a few echoes that have happened. The first being the murder of what. Of what's her name? Good. The murder of that woman by ICE agents who blasted a mom in a minivan. It's Up. And then there was the Iranian protest, right? And then u haul truck, like, trying to get away, runs down a couple of people. And then I think that very same day that kid who took down the Somalian operation in Minnesota ran, had to, like, you know, run through a crowd of people that wanted to kick his ass. But that's three echoes of, like, a car running through people. And whenever I see that happening, I always think, oh, we're in some kind of, like, I don't know, like it's some kind of cultural warp or something. So when it's trying to express itself with people, like, getting run down so is. I mean, people like me have to be careful because I always think something's weird because I'm weird. So everything seems weird to me. But right now, and I go online too much again, I'm back online, which is probably why I'm babbling about this stuff. But how many times have you been online and the algorithm serves you up some hippie saying things like, if you're feeling weird right now, it's because consciousness is shifting or something along those lines. And it's like, I'm always feeling weird. I don't think this means that global consciousness is shifting or anything like that. But right now, there's enough things happening where I think it's safe to say the teakettle is about to blow. Some shit is about to go down. You could feel it. There's too many things happening at once. We've got global unrest. Another echo that's happening is you've got the Iranian protests, attempted revolution happening over there, and you've got protests happening over here. You've got, like, you know, completely. For different reasons, but nonetheless, the, like, temperature of the culture right now is really hot. And so you've got in Iran right now what could theoretically be some kind of, like, revolution. And look, I, you know, I don't know what. What's going on over there, but it's

[Josh Cabat]

scary as their currency collapsed and they turned off the Internet so people won't commute.

[Duncan Trussell]

That's the scariest part of all. Turn the Internet off. Somehow they figured out a way to block Skylink. And so it just went dark over there. And apparently they just were slaughtering people. 12,000 or something? Is that what they said? 12,000 or 1200? Can't remember. Over 2, 500. All right. I don't know why I said.

[Josh Cabat]

I mean, that's just their numbers they're saying. I mean, it could be more.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right. I did see a video of some dude running from security forces on his motorcycle, and they hit him with a flamethrower. I did see that. So you've got all this going down in Iran. Then you've got Trump saying he's going to do some shit, which is really crazy to think about. And then you have Israel apparently telling Trump not to do that, which is even crazier, that Israel is advising Trump not to attack Iran, which I thought they loved it when we attacked Iran, but. So you've got this going on. We just had the Venezuela thing happening. And then you've got Greenland, which is so crazy. That was not on my apocalypse bingo card. But there were people prognosticating that World War III was going to start in the Arctic. Like, because of the ice caps melting, it's opening up new, like, ways through the Arctic or something like that. And that's going to be like a. People are going to try to control it now.

[Josh Cabat]

Enough ice is melted to where they can get to the minerals.

[Duncan Trussell]

They can get to the minerals, you know, which is so insane. And hubbleson1 is saying, nobody's fighting World War III in Greenland. Look, I. I don't. At this point, I would. It wouldn't surprise me. It's not just the Greenland. It's because Greenland is the largest island in the Arctic and we want to control that. And now the UN is kind of saying, yeah, we need to control that. And so now, like, and now that Trump is saying we're going to take it over, I guess it's amplified the possibility that China or Russia are going to try to take control of it. So poor Greenland. Pull up pictures of Greenland. By the way it looks, you know,

[Josh Cabat]

they only have 57,000 people poor, the.

[Duncan Trussell]

Not fun to live in Greenland right now.

[Josh Cabat]

They just came out and said that we'd rather stay with Denmark.

[Duncan Trussell]

It looks cozy over there.

[Josh Cabat]

Yeah. Their biggest city, their capital has 20,000 people in it. And I think they only have a few cities.

[Duncan Trussell]

Open it up. Open up an image of Greenland. Cute. I mean, it looks like a cozy place. I like that.

[Josh Cabat]

Looks like the North Pole.

[Duncan Trussell]

Looks like the North Pole, yeah. So when you have all these things happening at the same time, you gotta ask yourself, like, what's the deeper reason behind all of this? Like, anytime people are. Anytime, like world powers are beginning to make moves like this, it's for more than just. It's something else. There's always some other information that we won't hear about. There's some. Nobody gives a. About Greenland unless there's some real information. That's Come in. Regarding God knows what. Some plan. Some plan. Russia has some who the knows. That's the part that creeps me out, is the big question mark, like who the knows?

[Josh Cabat]

I think it's the great reset and because China cut us off from selling us their. Their minerals and they had like. Russia and China have 60 of the mining facilities, so we got to find new mining facilities. So that's why Venezuela, Greenland, Mexico, they have lots of minerals. So that's what we're. It's just the chess piece is moving before the war, get all your resources.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right, but why? Why, like why would. What I'm saying is if you're. Why are you even moving the chess pieces? Like, what instigated all of this? What made anyone think we need to start moving chess pieces right now?

[Josh Cabat]

Because we kicked Russia off the swift system and we completely shut them out of the banks and the other countries got upset about that. So the brics nation, Brazil, Russia, China, India, South Africa, they got together, they're making their own currency, so the dollar is going to fall a lot. And so that's why we're trying to also get as many minerals as we can so that we can not depend on them for their oil.

[Duncan Trussell]

That's your theory?

[Josh Cabat]

That's just what I've been seeing on like Bloomberg and msnbc. Squawk box.

[Duncan Trussell]

Okay, well that's cute, but pull up entrance to the hollow earth, Greenland. Look at this, guys. Not that go to actual like all. Well, let's read what the AI Says. The idea of Greenland entrance to hollow earth is a popular myth stemming from early figures by figures like Marshall Gardner who suggested entrances at the poles. But there's no scientific evidence or credible proof of any such portal. With Greenland being far from the north pole, near Kapha, clubbing island and hollow earth theories remaining in the realm of folklore despite some past scientific projects like camp Century existing there. Camp Century, A real arctic site. A U. S. Research base built under the ice. But this was not a subser. This was a subsurface camp. What? Pull up Camp Century. What the fuck? According to documents declassified in 1996, Camp Century was a preliminary camp for project ice worm, whose goal is to install a vast network of nuclear missile launch sites that could survive a first strike. Missiles were never fielded at the facility and and obtaining the necessary consent for the Danish government to do so is never broach. The camp operated from 1959 until 1967. It consisted of 21 tunnels with a total length of 9,800ft and was powered by a Nuclear reactor Project Ice Worm was aborted after realization that the ice sheet was not stable as originally assessed and that the missile basing concept was not feasible. The reactor was removed and Camp Century later was abandoned. However, hazardous waste remains. Okay, pull up images of Camp Century. We got to see pics of this. Holy. That's crazy. Whoa. Look at that statue. What is that? What the. Pull up an image of one of these underground tunnels. Look at this, guys. Holy shit. There is. Look at that. Pull up that giant ice tunnel down there.

[Josh Cabat]

This one?

[Duncan Trussell]

Any of them. Whoa. They were just burrowing under the ice in Greenland and they stopped. Sure they did. Look at that. Project Ice Worm. Wow. The facility dug into the Greenland ice sheet housed up to 200 soldiers in a small nuclear power plant. Not to mention. Look up like the Nazis in Antarctica. Weren't they building bas? Look up Nazi bases. Antarctica. Look, Look. This AI really doesn't like what I'm saying. The idea of a hidden Nazi Antarctic base with flying saucers and Hitler hiding there is a persistent conspiracy theory based on distortions of real post ww2 mullets. You AI suck my dick. Hitler was up there flying UFOs. Okay, open that. In the late 1930s, the Nazis showed an interest in Antarctica and sent an expedition to survey a part of it and claim it for Germany. A little known German expedition to Antarctica. From 17 December to 12 April on the ship Mississippi Schwabenmand had the purpose of claiming an area now known as droning Maudland, mainly to protect the German whaling industry. You know my theory on this? Go ahead. It's just a theory. Look at me. Don't believe me? I'm full of. But one last thing to connect the dots here. Pull up increased UAP activity prior to earthquakes.

[Josh Cabat]

This one?

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah. UFO reports spike three to eight times during seismic activity. They ramp up before earthquakes, not after phase three. Found the mechanism. Piezoelectric bedrock. Reports cluster on Franciscan serpent. This is a Reddit post. So it's definitely true. Portland's famous, but yeah, the. So for those of you out of the loop on this, on like Operation High Jump, Rear Admiral Byrd supposed claims that like the Nazis had encountered these like an advanced civilization out there in the Arctic, if just for the sake of a thought experiment. Sure, it's probably for minerals or whatever, but it's interesting to consider these UAPs are terrestrial. They're not coming from outer space. That the UAPs that people have been encountering en masse, they might have underground bases, but they also might have like burrowed into the earth, or they might be coming from within the earth. They might be coming from somewhere in Antarctica. And so the reason there's this sudden, like, weird rush to take over Greenland is because somehow, like, we know that these things are, like, showing up more and we want to have, like, I don't know, control over that part of the world. That's my dumbass take on it. Russia wants Alaska back. That's crazy. Alaska was purchased by the United States from the Russian Empire for $7.2 million. Who made that deal? That's crazy. Russia was eager to sell the difficult to defend territory. It's so, you know, it's just so fascinating to me that most of us, I'm sure most of you, definitely me, we don't have any control over this level of imperialism happening all over the world. We're fucking peons. We have no. Nothing can be done. And it's just so interesting, especially when you got a new baby to watch this stuff happening. You know what I mean? You got a diaper blowout and on TV they're saying they're using top secret, never before used sonic weapons in Venezuela. It really balances you out. But it's just a, a very strange thing to have those two energies back to back. And maybe part of the reason all this stuff is happening all at once is they know, like, they, at some point we just throw our arms up and like, you know, what can we do? What could be done? Now we're just sitting around waiting for the next shitty news story to show up. Sitting around waiting to see are we gonna attack Iran, which is nuts. You know, I want the people of Iran to free themselves from some caliphate, if that's what they want to do. But it is odd that we just accept somehow we need to be involved in that.

[Josh Cabat]

Well, if their currency collapsed, didn't we already attack them?

[Duncan Trussell]

What do you. Well, yeah, I mean, this is like classic CIA, by the way. Like, the CIA has been like, is mastered helping overthrow regimes. I mean, this is another version of regime change. And it's all on that list, by the way. This is all on the list of countries that we wanted to overthrow. I think Iran was like the last one. Once we get Iran, that's it, We've done it. And so it's just the fact that all these things are happening at once that freaks me the fuck out. It's very strange. Now, let me see if my wife sent me. This other thing was completely different. I'm sorry for going on and on about this stuff. I'm going to send this to you. Play this. My wife discovered a fascinating Instagram account where this guy is going to I believe Somalians and casting fake spells on them and it freaks them the out. I'm going to send this to you, Josh.

[Josh Cabat]

Okay, Give me one second. I gotta send it to myself.

[Duncan Trussell]

Also, it might be because I'm an old crust that none of this shit surprises me at all. This is what we've always been doing. God help you if you have oil because that would be the ultimate peace weapon. Is an oil evaporation weapon. You know, like just something that made all the oil disappear. There'd be global peace. Just get rid of all the oil. Can't run any of the war machines anymore.

[Josh Cabat]

I play the audio.

[Duncan Trussell]

Might as well. It's on Instagram. Yes. Yes. Yes. It's working. Yes. Excuse me, ladies. Do you know me? My name is Ms. Elay. I've been sent by your ancestors to cast a spell on you.

[Josh Cabat]

Do you know the spell?

[Duncan Trussell]

I've been sent to cast a spell on you people. The spell. Yes. It's working. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. It's working. Yes. Yes, yes. It's working. It's. Where's the out of this?

[Josh Cabat]

That would scare the out of me too.

[Duncan Trussell]

Me too. I want to act like. Yeah, those superstitious Somalians. That would haunt me for days. If I was walking into a grocery store and some dude cast a spell on me, I'd have nightmares for days. The next bad thing that happened to me, I'd be like, got me.

[Josh Cabat]

Have you ever had anybody put a spell on you?

[Duncan Trussell]

Oh, yeah, for sure. No doubt. I mean, it wouldn't surprise me. I mean, you know, you could put a spell on anybody this that level of magic. But what's interesting about. I mean, if you wanted to like, categorize the kind of magic that person is using, it's definitely chaos magic because he doesn't believe in it. Pull up Libra. No. By the way, if you guys are interested in Chaos magic, this is a. This is a. The seminal book. L I B I R Liber Null,

[Josh Cabat]

no spelling.

[Duncan Trussell]

N U L L. Yeah. An Introduction to Chaos Magic. This is pretty good. If you're interested in Libra Null and Psychic Psychonaut and Introduction to Chaos Magic, this is a good book that will get you schooled on chaos magic. Pull. Here. Open up the description. I'll read it to people. That's it contains a selection of extremely powerful rituals and exercises for committed occultists. Psychonautism manual comprising the theory and practice of magic. But I Guess. Pull up libra null. Let's see if we can find an excerpt from it. No, let's see. You put exempt, put ex exer, ex c, e, r, p. Here we go. Yeah, that looks good. I want to thank BlueChew, my dear sweet alchemical friends over at BlueChew, not just for supporting my podcast and my family by supporting my podcast, but for literally creating my family.

[Josh Cabat]

There you go.

[Duncan Trussell]

It is a mistake to consider any belief more liberated than another. It is the possibility of change which is important. Every new form of liberation is destined to eventually become another form of enslavement for most of its adherents. There is no freedom from duality on this plane of existence. But one may at least it's aspire to a choice of duality. I'm. I didn't. I should have picked something out that's pretty good. Ideas about a person's place in society as role, lifestyle and ego qualities will lose their hold as the cohesive forces in society disintegrate. Subculture values will proliferate to such a bewildering extent that a whole new class of professionals will arise to control them. Such a transmutation technology will deal in fashions, in ways of being. Lifestyle consultants will become the new priests of our civilizations. They will be the new magicians. He sure as called it Many scientific disciplines begin by not observing any sort of vital spark or consciousness and material events, and proceed to deny that these things exist in living things, including themselves. Because consciousness does not fit into their mechanistic schemes, they declare it illusory. Magicians make exactly the reverse argument. Observing consciousness in themselves and animals, they are magnanimous enough to extend it to all things, trees, amulets. But chaos magic, the way it works is as opposed to like, I don't know if you're a Christian, you're probably, you're, you're familiar with magic, but your kind of magic involves faith in this existing God. Whereas chaos magic is sort of saying you can just connect to anything that gives you some kind of charge and that's magic. So when that guy is like, even though he doesn't believe, probably he's casting a spell. You could argue that is a chaos magician putting chaos magic style curses on people. It's not the words he's saying are meaningless or whatever. It's the, the effect, the change that it's creating in the world resulting from him putting on this show. That's where the magic is trying to find some kind of like proof or quantification of this stuff. Like you could like Prana or FP and Dark Souls or something like that. You're not going to find that. But what you can find over and over and over again is that certain rituals create change and everything's a ritual. I mean, you look at like time lapse footage of traffic. Show time lapse. Time lapse traffic footage. Yeah. Look at that. That is so cool. And you know, if you didn't know anything about traffic or anything like that, you'd think you were looking at a machine. You would, you'd think you were looking at some kind of light machine that was siphoning light through tunnels. Probably would imagine that the lights of the cars were somehow connected to the lights of the skyscrapers, that maybe the skyscrapers were shooting the cars out, which they kind of are because people live inside the skyscrapers. But within that you're seeing like a, an incredible ritual is happening there, a long term ritual which is producing society as we know it. Go back and show more of that. Like show time lapse of a city street, like just people in New York or something. Look at that. Everyone's going the exact same direction doing the exact same fucking thing. See if you can find time lapse of pedestrians. This guy stood still the whole time. Weirdo. Yeah, do that one. Now. You know, if you look at the way everybody's Walking. If you look at that, what you're looking at there is like, might as well be some kind of ritual, some kind of strange mystical dance that people don't even know that they're engaged in. Every single one of the people has in their mind a different set of goals, things they need to do. Some people are going to get their laundry done, some people are going to work, some people are coming home from work, some people are going to a cafe, some people are going on dates. But when you look at it all together, it's this homogenous group of people that looks very similar to some kind of ritual. Oh yeah, that's good. Look at this. This is incredible. If you didn't know anything about humans, you would think these people were doing some kind of ritual or game. They all think they're doing their own lives. Everyone there thinks they're going their own way, doing their own thing. But when you look at it as a whole, it just seems like people are involved in some kind of bizarre ritual where one group crosses the street. Played again where one group crosses the street and the other group crosses the street. And they just do it over and over and over again, almost meaningless. They wait for the cars to go. Go across, go back across, go back. Pause it right there.

[Josh Cabat]

Like a heartbeat.

[Duncan Trussell]

It's like a heartbeat. A circulatory system of sorts. And then if you were looking at that and you saw those two creepy faces on there, you would think those must be their gods they're worshiping. Those two people, the weird white haired person, weird Nordic person underneath, you would think this was some kind of massive temple. Now pull up like a mosque. Pull up. Time lapse of a mosque. M O S Q U E. Not my America. Yeah, there you go. Time lapse. Do that time lapse of people of the Kaaba or pull that one. Yeah, look at that. Here you have an actual authentic ritual. You know, those people are intentionally engaged in a ritual. Just seems a little bit more focused than the time lapse of the crossing.

[Josh Cabat]

It looks like the ant death spiral. You ever seen that?

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah. Pull up. Ant death spiral. These poor ants, all because of one ant, got them all stuck. But anyway, the point of chaos magic is everything is a spell, everything is a ritual. If you think you're not engaged in a ritual right now, you're, you just, you don't want to deal with reality. If you're getting in your car, you're going to work. If you're, if you're engaged in any way, shape or form as you have to be with the modern world, then you are taking part in some form of prolonged magical ritual. And so when big changes start happening on the global scale, then there's like something happening within the ritual. Something's coming. Part of the ritual, we already know what it's done. Part of the ritual is we've summoned an entity. That's AI we are training the entity. Every time we go online, we know we're engaged in that we've summoned some entity into the world. And now to fuel the entity, we need rare earth minerals to keep this entity going, we need water. Water to make my incredible videos. And that's the main point, guys, is, you know, I'm gonna have to add to Operation Beast Blast. I need you guys to start bringing water to your local data centers because a huge part of Operation Beast Blast is going to be creating AI slop. I'm not sure exactly why, but I feel like we need to be doing more of that. We got some super chats. Hi, Lucas. Der. Thank you so much. Have you checked out Sassy the Sasquatch yet? Please do it. It'll be well worth your time for how little spare time you got. Can you pull up Sassy the Sasquatch? Sasquatch. Oh, that looks awesome. Okay, I'm not going to watch this now, but I'll definitely check that out. That looks right up my ass. That looks incredible. I love that kind of art. Okay, go back. Thank you for that tip. Tiny wins if AI robots invent music. That's just high frequency talent that irritate human ears, yet they love to vibe on. Could that spark the Terminator wars? Pull up CES Speaking of AI robots, Pull up new robot at ces. Yeah, you know, we do. That's another thing we all have to consider if you've got kids. 100 chance a robot when your kids are growing up is going to suck your kid's dick. Yeah. So all these new robots got revealed @ces. Go to YouTube. Pull up rope CES robot. Some of these are incredible, but basically, like, you know, they're gearing up for all of us. Having robots working in our homes. Pull up the future of robots on display. This one's cool as this. Don't play the audio. Just scroll to the robot. Yeah, they're finally figuring it out. These things are crazy. Look at the way they can rotate. I think it said that it can lift up to like 120 pounds, maybe 75 pounds. So I don't know, maybe these are industrial robots.

[Josh Cabat]

110.

[Duncan Trussell]

110. Look at that. See how it spins its arms over like that can rotate its torso that way. A useless human. You. Yeah. And the, you know, you. That's a cutie piece,

[Josh Cabat]

Twally.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah. The thing is, like, with all these robots and these people making the robots, and it's like, there's very little conversation about what that actually means for society. It doesn't seem like that comes up at CES so much. It's like, you see a robot that could spin its head around, spin its torso around, do work that humans used to do, and they don't say anything about, like, and what happens to the people who. That was their job. And they never mention that. You never hear that come up. And then the other thing that doesn't seem to be being talked about enough is that people are going to be these things. And to me, that's the. That's the. Of, like, it's at least on par with the level of massive unemployment that's going to happen because of these things. Because when you consider how many things we enjoy in the world are there because dudes wanted to fuck? There were horny guys that wanted to. And so they needed money, you know, and so they invented some incredible thing. And, you know, like, when you look at guys, you know, like, oh, you just got a haircut, you took a shower, they want, it's because they're horny. You know what I mean? I'm not sure if we're going to see a lot of showered dudes if at their home they have access to sex. Robot that's like a cross between Angelina Jolie and maybe like a little, like somebody sprinkled in a little something like their mom. You know what I mean?

[Josh Cabat]

Yeah. And robots can't smell, so they don't have to ever take a shower.

[Duncan Trussell]

They know. And, you know, it's like they're like. And then the robot is not just sucking your dick. The robot is, like, actively making investments in penny stocks for you.

[Josh Cabat]

Yep.

[Duncan Trussell]

So the robot is making you money and. And sucking your dick. And I don't think people understand what that's going to do to society. Like, that's going to fuck shit up at a level no one ever expected. Because the impetus, the thing that drove men like Copernicus and Galileo out of their fucking houses to make great discoveries, the thing that, like, got Albert Einstein to sketch out the theory of relativity. I don't mean to reduce these people to just, they wanted to and get their dick sucked, but I'm sure that's part of it. When you take that away, what happens? Collapse. Collapse. You're gonna have conversations with your beautiful sex Android at home. You're gonna be fat as dirty. You haven't wiped your ass in days and your sex robot is just like, don't worry about it. I love you how you are. She's going to be writing songs for you, singing beautiful, beautiful songs to you about how good you smell. She's gonna for sure. These sex androids are going to be able to dispense purified water from their tits so you could lay on the couch, it'll cuddle you, jerk you off while you're like a hamster drinking out of one of these things, sucking Coca Cola out of your sex robots tits while it jerks you off on the TV or shows that no one else has seen because the next version of streaming is it just knows what you like and starts making shows for you with AI based on what you like. So you're going to be on your couch getting edged out by your sex robot sucking Coca Cola out of her tits while she jerks you off, sings to you. You're having problems with a, with a Dark Souls boss. She's gonna take the con, gently take the controller from your hand, help you take out the Freya, the boss and Dark Souls I cannot take out edge you out. You could even say to her, oh, can the no more Coca Cola. Can you just do mayonnaise? You want to just gonna spray mayonnaise and pre chewed french fries out of her tits. We're gonna go back to breastfeeding is what I'm saying. No one's talking about this. It's ces.

[Josh Cabat]

Sounds amazing.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah, it's gonna be amazing until the power goes out. It's gonna be amazing until you can't charge your sex robot anymore because nobody knows how that stuff works anymore. One day there's going to be a couple of nerds who, who go to class at MIT and nobody's there. No professors, like, where is everybody? Oh, they're back at home getting their dicks sucked by their sex robots that have mouths on both sides of their heads. They're going to have mouths all the way around. This is where we're headed, friends.

[Josh Cabat]

Asexual people will take over the world.

[Duncan Trussell]

There will be no more asexual people. I promise you that. I don't, I'm not saying there aren't asexual people, but how much of being asexual is. You just don't want to deal with all the trouble it takes to get, you know, What? I mean, asexual people, you could argue, are just like. People are like that. Not gonna go to some bar. I don't want to do volunteer work. I'm not going on Tinder. No one's gonna be on Tinder anymore.

[Josh Cabat]

Have you seen the movie with Megan Fox? And she's like a robot that this guy purchased, but she's like a sexy robot. And then she has sex with them and the wife is very upset because she's like, dying in the hospital.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Josh Cabat]

So my wife and I had a whole argument about that. That a robot in the future. I can't buy, like a sexy Megan Fox robot. I have to buy a man, which I thought was unfair.

[Duncan Trussell]

So wait, so your wife is going to be able to. The dude robot?

[Josh Cabat]

No, because I would get the dude robot with no genitals. But yeah, I can't get a sexy making fox.

[Duncan Trussell]

You get attached genitals. I mean, that's the thing. There's going to be the ability to detach and attach genitals to your sex robot. People don't. It's going to be modular. You think they're just gonna. Dude, I promise you. Like, that's when you buy your sex robot. You're probably gonna buy a genital free robot because you're gonna be like, yeah, I wanted to do laundry. And then, you know. You know what I mean?

[Josh Cabat]

That's gonna be like an upgrade. Like on a phone. You like, you want genitals.

[Duncan Trussell]

You got it. Yeah. No one's talking about this. It's. It's going to decimate society. Like, how much of the economy is based on horniness? You know how much of the economy is happening just because people are lonely and want to fuck. Justin Culler is saying, thank you, Justin, for the super chat. I think the Venezuela story is a psyop. The fact that they use the number 300 in the story is a huge sign to that. Why? Why the number 300? I don't understand. 300 Spartans at the. Oh, right. Like they're saying they're the Spartans. Look, I don't know. I mean, it sounds like all of it just sounds like propaganda to me. I don't know. It's that it sounds completely like. To me, it sounds exactly like what you would want to, like, broadcast to the world. You have some kind of new sonic weapon or something like that. But like, with all of these things, if you're somebody out there who sees that and gets excited about it, just remember, like, they're not just going to use it on Venezuelans the very last thing we need is for the government to have access to some kind of sonic weapon that can quell uprisings just by blasting people in the streets, knocking them down. We don't want that any. Like, for those of you who like, celebrate, like, you know, the like ice. It's like, dude, you, you have to understand, like, if you're like a I want borders, get rid of the immigrants person, you are banking on the idea that like some militarized fucking outside the law police force isn't eventually going to be turned on you. That's what everyone's banking on.

[Josh Cabat]

They had it at the G20 meetings in Pittsburgh.

[Duncan Trussell]

Look at that guy. This episode is brought to you by Storyworth. You know, my dad told this story about how he had a pet crow. It was the craziest story ever and I don't remember much of it. He would tell it to me when I was a young kid, how he owned this. He owned it. It's not like he leased a crow. He like tamed a crow. He had a pet crow that he loved and his dog ate the crow. That's all I remember of the story. You would go into great detail about this crow, especially if he'd had a couple of whiskeys and it was the funniest, coolest story ever. And it's gone. I'll never know that story. I can't remember it. You know, most Father's Day gifts end up in a drawer. Storyworth doesn't. It gives your dad a year long experience and gives your family a book full of stories he'd probably never think to tell on his own. Maybe your dad also tamed a crow. Who knows? You're not going to know unless you ask. And the best way to ask is with Storyworth. Each week, Storyworth sends your dad a question about his life. He responds however he wants, writing back over email or web voice recording or even, new this year, a guided phone call. No apps, logins or tech hassle. Storyworth meets your dad where he is so he can focus on the joy of remembering and reflecting. And let's face it, a lot of our dads, they're not going to take the time to mess around with some complex technology. That's where Storyworth is perfect. It understands that your dad, along with every dad, including this dad right here, is experiencing the inevitable disconnect from technology. They make it easy. You get each story as he tells it. And after a year, Storyworth compiles everything, his words, his photos, his life into a beautiful hardcover book. Families have used Storyworth to create over a million books and more than 50,000. Five star reviewers agree it will be a treasure your family will love this year. Give your dad a gift that captures who he really is before the stories get harder to remember. Father's day is Sunday, June 21st. Order right now and save up to $20 at storyworth.com Duncan Save up to 20 bucks at storyworth.com Duncan storyworth.com Duncan this is way better than whatever it was you were thinking of getting your dad. It's so much cooler. Please. You're not gonna go get your dad another multi tool, are you? He's got enough. Get Storyworth. It's so cool. And I so wish that it had existed before my dad passed away. That's a sad way to end an ad, but I mean it. Thanks. Storyworth. Just presses a button. He's got the look of somebody who controls the same sound cannon. Look at that. That guy knows he could just knock everybody down. Police in Pittsburgh showed off the latest in crowd control Thursday as they reportedly use s sound cannons to blast the ears of protesters near the Group of 20 meeting of World economic leaders. Scroll down. City officials said it was the first time such sound blasters, sometimes called sound weapons, were used publicly. What exactly are they? There was an array of sound amplifiers used during the demonstration. Livoni Bickerstaff of the Pittsburgh bureau of police. The Poconos police brought the long range acoustic device with him. The long range LRAD is designed for long range communication and quote, unmistakable warning. Yeah, it's shrill warning tones. I don't know if that's the same thing they used. Oh, yeah. 145 to 151 decibels. Equal to a gunshot. And I saw a robot today on the way into the studio delivering food.

[Josh Cabat]

I. I like how they smile at you now. And they blink like they're supposed to be cute.

[Duncan Trussell]

Cute? Yeah, they're supposed to be cute. I mean, look, I think there's something exhilarating about keeping your eye on all of this stuff, but don't get too lost in it. It's just fun to talk about on podcasts. I wouldn't freak out about it too much, really. I mean, there is a simple solution to all this. It's like, turn my yappy ass off. Turn all of us off. Shut it down. Just turn it off. You're fine. I used to think video games were up. Like, you shouldn't use video games. But I'm pretty sure, and I'd love to know what you think about this Josh that it would be better to spend all your time playing video games than go online, go on social media, listen to people like me. It's probably better to just cut it all off. Go ahead, enjoy technology. Just the right now. And by the way, I've had three friends of mine just out of the blue reaching out to me because they're like, I can't. Like, social media is so up right now. Like, you. They can't. You can't go on it for more than a few seconds. And I feel like that, too. Anytime I pull up Instagram, it's like, within a few seconds. I'm feeling bummed out by it. Way, way more bummed out than if I'm, like, binging Dark Souls or something. Curious what you guys think about that. Albert is saying, I gotta play Crusader Kings 3. I can't play anything except Dark Souls right now, and I don't have time for that. I just. I just can't get. The game is so perfect. It's hard for me to stop playing rad artan comics as video games. Waste time. You could be being productive. Well, I'm also working on my art, still trying to learn how to draw. See what we got here. Look at that. Somewhat, like. Kind of like. What would you guys say was that fifth grade level? Am I at least there? You have to understand, when I started my art journey, I hate it when people say that. I, like, if you think this shit's bad, I was horrible. Horrible. Then let's see. This is about the most realistic human head I've pulled off yet, but still looks fucked up. Neck's too long, eyes are weird.

[Josh Cabat]

Sketch of a serial killer.

[Duncan Trussell]

What?

[Josh Cabat]

Sketch of a serial killer.

[Duncan Trussell]

What do you mean that looks like a serial killer to you?

[Josh Cabat]

Like, if I saw a sketch.

[Duncan Trussell]

And that's a what? That. First of all, it's a woman. Statistically, women are not serial killers.

[Josh Cabat]

They. Statistically, they get caught less. What? Statistically, they get caught.

[Duncan Trussell]

That's interesting. Thank you, Beth. Yeah. For all of you out there, highly recommend learning how to draw. Like, it's great because it overrides all the art shaming you probably have had. Like, it's amazing. It challenges your ego. Do you know how embarrassing I. How embarrassed I feel now showing you my art? It's embarrassing. And, like, all of that is from, like, way back. You people shame other people for, like, attempting to make art so it.

[Josh Cabat]

Look what happened to Hitler.

[Duncan Trussell]

Fuck yeah. Look what happened to Hillary. He's pretty good. Way better than me. Pull up like a Hitler Drawing. Not bad. That's really good. I mean, obviously a horrible person, but dude, if I painted something like that, you better fucking believe I'd be showing you guys a lot more art. Hitler painted that?

[Josh Cabat]

Yeah.

[Duncan Trussell]

Wow. I mean, wow. Yeah,

[Josh Cabat]

it's better than Ringo Starr. You ever seen his paintings?

[Duncan Trussell]

No.

[Josh Cabat]

They're awful.

[Duncan Trussell]

Let me take a look. Don't say that. Don't I have to say this to my kids too? Like, take it easy. Okay. Okay, pull up. Pull up the. The Biden. The Biden kids are.

[Josh Cabat]

What's his name?

[Duncan Trussell]

There you go. That's not bad. Hunter Biden's paintings.

[Josh Cabat]

There you go. Hunter Biden.

[Duncan Trussell]

Honestly, not bad. Pull one up. Can you enlarge that?

[Josh Cabat]

Come on.

[Duncan Trussell]

No, you got to subscribe to see it. Just do like an image, sir. Yeah, that's a nice leaf. Look at his leaf. Looks pretty good. Scroll down. It's okay. I like it.

[Josh Cabat]

That's.

[Duncan Trussell]

That's good. Open that up. Yeah, not bad. Scroll down. That's really good. Kind of aboriginal or something. Pretty awesome interest. He's like, you know, it's not. It's like people who like ambient music, people who make ambient music make this kind of art. I don't know about that. I mean, it's. I'm not judging anybody's art. This is hard. But for those of you out there, get into it, because there are so many great Instagram accounts that will teach you all these tricks that I've been using that it works. And then this is something that's really interesting. And I didn't know this until recently when my mother in law got me some really good drawing pencils. There is a difference. Because, you know, my feeling because I like went through a pretty embarrassing modular synthesizer phase, is like, stop buying new synthesizers. It doesn't fucking matter if you don't know how to make music. It doesn't matter. Like, you could have the most advanced fucking moog on earth and it's still gonna suck. And so then I just started focusing on the piano and stuff. But with art, it does make a difference. So, like, you need to get like pretty good drawing pencils because, like, I would look at, I was drawing with like garbage pencils and think, what the, man? It feels like there's some impact the pencils are having on my ability to make stuff, but it really makes a huge difference. And keep your pencil sharp. That makes a big difference too. But you can go online, find all of these great tutorials. There's so many good art accounts out there. Lord Spew. Check him Out. He's super funny. He was in. He did storyboards for the Midnight Gospel and some of the animation. But there's so many great resources out there, and it's very addictive. And I. I'm not just. I'm not talking to the people out there who are, like, artists. I know some of you listen to my podcast and paint, which is really cool to me. I'm talking to those of you out there who are like, I'm the shittiest artist. What are you talking about? Get into it. Like, it really is an amazing meditation. It fucks with your ego. You have to contend with the fact that you actually suck and aren't like you. Like, my progress is so slow, but there is progress, and that gives you a real thrill. It's very exciting. I think if I keep doing this for another, like, two years, at the end of two years, I'll be able to, like, draw pretty realistic portraits, I think. But I don't know, maybe not, like, as you're like, God, I wish I had other. Like, let me see if I have other sketchbooks here. Let me see. Like, this again. I'm not showing you this because I think it's good. Just know that this isn't, like, wow, look at. Look how good an art this is. Like, I'm trying to show you, like, honestly how, like, embarrassing it could be. But, like, this is, like, I decided I'm gonna start, like, forcing myself to finish pictures. I don't even know what the that was supposed to be. Look at how depressed that guy looks. But you go through these phases with it where I get it. I get so mad at myself. Like, you look at your hand, and you're like, what the. You were just able to do that. Now you can't. Didn't you, like, spit out garbage like this? You know, and it's. You're looking at it like, oh, my God. That's just. I want it to be so different from that. But something in that really, with your head and makes you. I don't know. It just feels like some kind of great meditation. But this is the. I've been doing, like, when I'm, like, taking care of my wife, laying in bed with her and the baby, I just sit and sketch and sketch and sketch. But then when I sit and try to draw actual people, oh, I just want to die. Like, it's horrible. And you don't want them to look at what you're drawing because they will think you think they're hideous when you're just, like, bad it's sketching.

[Josh Cabat]

I got art.

[Duncan Trussell]

What's that?

[Josh Cabat]

I got some art.

[Duncan Trussell]

Let me see.

[Josh Cabat]

All right. This is a cartoon I did a long time ago. Bugs are gross.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Josh Cabat]

You read a frog before?

[Duncan Trussell]

I haven't. I did one time. I was real desperate. I just lost my job. It's great. The Bear Factory. I'm making that up. I've never had a job in my life. I was just like, it. Let's see how far the rabbit hole goes. And I picked up this frog, and I was just slimy. Yeah. And I ate him. And it was like a big ball of. Come. Just. It was so gross. Dude.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No.

[Duncan Trussell]

My dad was in show business, too, right? What is that from the podcast? This is a movie with John Candy. They go to a cabin or something. The great outdoors. Yeah. My dad got his top blown off and then they shot his butt cheeks. Hey, I don't care what anybody says. That put food on our table. Guys, follow Josh Cabat. Was that on Instagram?

[Josh Cabat]

Yeah, I was on Instagram from. It's like, from years ago.

[Duncan Trussell]

Guys, give Josh a follow. Man, you should put up more of that stuff. How long did that take you to do?

[Josh Cabat]

We did 14 episodes. It would take me 60 hours a week to do one episode. So we record a podcast, I take the funny parts and then I animate it. There's a lot.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah, it's. Listen, folks, I gotta go, but I'm telling you, like, especially for those of you who, like, if you don't really care about, like, you don't care about it. Like, in other words, you think about drawing just, like, whatever. Not for you, but if you have an suspicious, like, sense of shame when it comes to, like, making drawing stuff, get into it because it forces you to, like, I don't know, contend with whatever that is. Kids are mean as dude. Kids are mean. And when you're a little. Little. Trying to make stuff, no doubt some bully piece of. Was like, you're horrible. Don't you remember? God, did you have this, like, when I was in elementary school, inevitably there was some kid who could draw robots. Really well. You remember that? The robot drawing kids. And you look at it and you're like, what the. I'll never be able to do that. And you try. You can't draw a straight line. You don't realize that kid's been drawing robots since they had crayons. You know, I've got. I wish that I could go back in time to a little me and be like, yeah, you're not going to be good at this for a long time because then I could get a jump start. I got to make up for like 20 years of practice. It's not easy, but get into it, man. I'm telling you. There's something very magical about it. And you get to see your progress as you go back through all your old shitty sketchbooks. And it's really interesting to watch. Sometimes when I fall asleep, I dream of like perspective and cubes and shapes and cross hatching and stuff. And I think that's because like, like even when you're not, if you practice enough at something, you practice in your sleep. I wish that were true, Albert. You couldn't have said it better. We got to stop being that little mean kid to ourselves. Canon. That little. You internalize that little bastard into your mind and just sits on your shoulder, mocks everything you do. But the only way to combat it is to actually make stuff. Stuff. There's no solution to the fact that the United States has suddenly decided to be openly imperialist instead of hiding it. There's nothing to do about the fact that we have a essentially like a secret police force operating in the United States. There's nothing to do about the fact that wizards are casting spells on unsuspecting Somali women in front of grocery stores. But one really positive thing you can do is get better at art. Because of all. When you look at like all this happening in the world, what you wouldn't call it all the war stuff, all the political stuff, it's not artistic, it's just ape, like, gross, stupid. That sucks. So, I don't know, before you get your sex robot, why not learn to draw? Anthony Christopher's art. Thank you, Adam Media. I'll check it out, look it up real quick, and then we'll close out. Albert says let yourself be cringe. If you're cringe, you're cringe. I've had to deal with it for years. What am I supposed to do? You can't uncringe yourself.

Oh, yeah. That is fucking cool, man. That's it. Go to Prince. Whoa, dude. Yeah, man. I would love to be able to do stuff like that. That's just time. He probably did that with pencils too. Or like Microns Sad. That's the other thing too, is like you. You definitely see your moods get reflected in what you're drawing when you're doodling. Like, if you're in a shitty mood, you'll draw stuff like that. Wow. Anthony. Christopher. Nice. Oh, you know what? Before we go, this is probably going to get me taken off, but I do want to show one last thing. I gotta get out of here. What am I doing? I have discovered another YouTube channel that I love. If any of you have any connection to Proximity Chat, can you reach out to them for me? I would love to have them on the podcast. Can you just pull up Proximity Chat? This dude trolls people in VR and it is some of the funniest shit I've ever seen. Pull up. Scroll down. Scroll down. I know I'm going to get a ding for this. We'll have to cut this out. Go. Scroll back up. Scroll back up. I visited a VR daycare. Check this out, I guess. Turn up the audio. It's the end for like 8 months

[Josh Cabat]

pretty much as was 120 hours.

[Duncan Trussell]

72 hours disabled and do nothing all day. Faithful and loyal to my husband. So you can stop trying.

[Josh Cabat]

Looks like this is perfect.

[Duncan Trussell]

Wait. Scroll your whole body. Scroll.

[Josh Cabat]

Hello.

[Duncan Trussell]

Oh, yeah.

[Clint Klangler]

Why are you so close?

[Duncan Trussell]

Back the up. Back the up. I wasn't joking. All right, Now I just have to get closer. Get the away from me, you dirty your ass, weirdo. You're the one cuddling with a cat.

[Josh Cabat]

Here's a pillow.

[Duncan Trussell]

No. Can you stop? You want this? I don't need it. It's the best. This Guy is so good at trolling people in VR chat, and it is the funniest shit you've ever seen and so weirdly psychedelic. But yeah, these are like, I want to start doing podcasts in VR chat. I just gotta dust off the goggles. How many of you have VR Goggles? Chat if you have VR goggles, type VR.

[Josh Cabat]

What do you have the Quest or.

[Duncan Trussell]

I have the Quest.

[Josh Cabat]

Yeah, I guess you got the Quest 3. I like it. You have VR the Quest 3? Yes. Yeah, I play Gun Raiders on it.

[Duncan Trussell]

No, no, Eric has it. Cap the alien. Look at all you guys have it. I think it'd be so fun to do DTFH with proximity chat in VR. I just got to figure out a way to reach out to him, but it's. His is wild. That wasn't the best clip that I picked, by the way, but you should definitely watch it because it is a completely alternate reality in there. And it is. It's wild how seriously people take it. And he is a master at freaking people out and upsetting them in there, which is so funny. I guess we could do it and still stream it on YouTube if me and Josh figured out a way to get our together. Yeah, right. Like, I guess they'd see us in VR goggles or something. Like, how would that work?

[Josh Cabat]

We can record the VR and then just put. Just the way he did it it and, you know, put it on YouTube.

[Duncan Trussell]

Do you go in VR chat?

[Josh Cabat]

No, I haven't been in VR chat.

[Duncan Trussell]

Devo94, do you do VR chat? How many of you do VR chat? I just feel like it wouldn't be accessible, but I guess we could just stream it or something. Eric says Redband does it every night. Does he stream it? Eric? I guess I could ask him about it.

[Josh Cabat]

I think he does.

[Duncan Trussell]

He, like, streams it on YouTube.

[Josh Cabat]

I don't know if it's on YouTube, but I remember him talking about it.

[Duncan Trussell]

I don't even know how to make an avatar in VR chat. Do you have to buy it?

[Josh Cabat]

If you want different accessories, I think you have to, but they give you, like, certain ones you can just do.

[Duncan Trussell]

I just saw a documentary on Netflix on it, and it's really cool. I'm kind of afraid of it. Drax says he'll send me some art.

[Josh Cabat]

Oh, he streams on X. Oh, he

[Duncan Trussell]

streams it on X, maybe. Can you get in? Can you get into VR chat with an Oculus, Do you know? Oh, look it up and see.

[Josh Cabat]

Yes.

[Duncan Trussell]

No way. Standalone app. Oh, cool. It'd be cool to do a podcast in there. I wonder what. I guess, like, the way I'm trying to think how you would do it, though. Like, I would come to the studio, put on the goggles, record into this microphone. Right. Or how do you get the audio?

[Josh Cabat]

Well, you can record the audio into these microphones. When we put it on YouTube, it's the better audio. And then people who have the VR can go and actually be like, almost a live podcast with people watching.

[Duncan Trussell]

It'd be so funny to duplicate this podcast studio in VR chat. Can you do that? Yeah, you could. Like, how do you do that? You have to, like, buy little spaces or something.

[Josh Cabat]

I'm not sure.

[Duncan Trussell]

It would be great as a leather rose, for sure.

[Josh Cabat]

Definitely ask Red Band, though.

[Duncan Trussell]

Okay. Yeah, I'll ask Red Band about it. Okay. I'll check it out. I got to go on the road, by the way. I'm going to be in Appleton starting tomorrow. First time back on the road. Jesus Christ. For a few weeks. I'm a little worried about it. Let me see here. Duncan Trestle. Being away from the kids. Why? Feels weird. Yeah. I'm gonna be in Appleton, Wisconsin at the Skyline Comedy Club this Thursday. Friday, Saturday, come see me at the Skyline Comedy Club in Appledon. Then maybe we'll figure out a way to do a vrdtfh. If, you know, proximity chat. Reach out to him for me, would you? I'll see if I can connect with him somehow. Maybe he's on Instagram. God bless you. Until next time. Hare Krishna.
