Oh. All right, guys. And we're back. Big year 2025. What else we had. We talked about some of the geopolitical stuff, also the comedy world. Bit of a hotbed. A lot of turmoil going around the comedy world. A lot of. A lot of comedian infighting, which I'll say one thing I'm. I'm grateful for in 2025 is to not. Not have gotten caught up in any of that kind of turmoil and kind of just like, this guy, that guy. It's like, man, I feel like a younger me could have, you know, because you see that that stuff gets a lot of attention. And unfortunately, you know, I am in the business of eyeball flickers myself. And it's. It's tempting to be like, you know, who I hate and, you know, and all that stuff, but a lot of that stuff going on, man, it's been. There's like comedian versus comedian. There's YouTuber, verse comedian, there's comedian versus YouTuber. And it's like this endless swirl of just kind of negativity that we can't fucking keep our eyes off. And I've said it before, Cat Williams, cr. I mean, he's, you know, obviously this is older than him. It predates Cat Williams and probably Santa comedy itself. But, like, he blew the lid off the jar when he. He's spilled the tea. It was. It was a. That. Was that 2024. 2025. I don't know. Let's. I'm going to put that in 2020 in the 2025 bucket, because that couldn't have been more than a year ago. That seems like that was so 2025. That is not so 2024. But I think, man, we might have even, like, started the year that might have been like the January dude that we started. 2025, because it was the Will Smith slap. That was so. That was 2024. The thing that finally stopped, that was the Cat Williams tee that set the tone for 2025. And, dude, I don't think we've ever recovered that got 30 zillion views on the Shannon Sharp podcast, which, you know, kind of launched his podcast. And then Shannon Sharp had a bit of a strange year as well. A lot of sexual stuff. And I think he's. That's crazy. It's crazy to get so much that Disney's like, dude, we got to cut ties. That's way too much. Yuck. We're. You're killing it right now. He got so much that Disney was like. Like, he's getting so much pussy that he's, like, hitting his phone. You know when you fake call somebody or you, like, accidentally pocket dial? Yeah. It's just usually you just, like, walking through the grocery store, like, fumbling your keys in your pocket. Shannon Sharpe's getting so much pussy that when his phone bumps to, like, call somebody or go live, which was suspicious, it's just him digging out a lady, being like, oh, God. Oh, Shannon Sharp got so much pussy in 2025 that Disney dropped him. And I think he's fine. But my whole point was Cat Williams on the podcast Blue Lid Off It. And I don't. I don't know if it was that or what, but there I. I did start to see that show. I saw people come on that show trying to get their Cat Williams moment where people are trying to, like, you know, give the sensational take and, like, this guy, that guy, blah, blah, blah. And no one ever, you know, it was lightning in a bottle. No one ever recaptured the cat crack off on the tee. But then I. I noticed, you know, there was lot of other little comedian beefs and, you know, this and that, and a lot of people just, like. Even when I meet people who don't. Don't do comedy, they're always asking me, like, you know, what's this guy like? And who's your favorite? Who don't you like? Blah, blah, blah, blah. And I. I gotta say, man, like, I do find it unfortunate that there is this fascination with comedians as, like. Like, any sense. Like, they're. This guy's a piece of shit because they did this. This guy's like, the best. Because it's like, dude, comedians for real are. They're just like. I don't know. They're like, mostly, myself included, they're just like theater dorks. They're like a strain of theater. Dork that it's like, yeah, you didn't go full theater dork and do, like, musicals, but that's in you. That's your thing. And it just, like, whatever that is has gotten mutated to where now you do stand up instead of, like, musicals. But it's like, you're kind of the same guy as, like, a musical theater dork. You just, you know, you wear a leather jacket and smoke and stay up late, and you're like, I'm a comic. You never understand my life. But you're a theater dork, man. And I. It's just so funny to have all this attention trying to dissect comedians and be like, this is what they're really thinking. This. It's like, in 2025, I get it. But for 2026, it's like, dude, this is for real. You have to look at every comedian like, here. This is what it's like when people, like, comment and want to be like, this guy said this, and they're a hypocrite and I'll no longer support. Look, man, I hate to break it to you, but it's like, it'd be like if you watch the Spirit Special Olympics and you're like, what the hell? That guy's not even. It's like, yeah, dude, they're. Just let them swim, all right? Just let them swim. High five them, and if you don't like it, just turn it off. You don't watch the Special Olympics and be like, what the. Man? This guy's not even. That's not how you do the backstroke. Yeah, dude, his. He's missing a leg, dude. All right, this guy's not all there. Let him do his thing. If you don't like it, tune it out. But it's like you're. You're barking up a fucking burnt down tree, man. You're not gonna get anywhere by tracking them. Thoughts and opinions of me. They flitter and fly around. You're. This is a guy panicking, saying, whatever it is, that'll just get him through another hour of the week or the show or whatever, so he can sell fucking digital picture frames. Don't look into it that much. That's all I'm saying. It's like watching the Special Olympics or, you know, the WNBA or whatever. Let's fire up a clip, guys. Go to it. Like, comment and subscribe.

We never get sold. What else? You know what I want to talk about today? The. I was reading about the Soviet calendar back under Stalin when they eliminated all the days of the week. Like they still had like the months and stuff, but instead of the days of the week, they did a five day work week where they took away like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and replaced the days of the week. This was, you know, Soviets, the Soviet Union under Stalin. They replaced the days of the week with like, like instead of Monday it would just be like loaf of bread. Tuesday was star, then Wednesday was hammer and sickle. Thursday was just like burlap sack. And then Friday, I swear to God, Friday was like, it was called pointed wool, military cap. That was your Friday. And what they did, I swear to God, look it up. And what they did was it was this five day work week. And the idea was for the machines to never stop. They were like, hey man, if we want to make this dream come true, we, we can't be like all taking off on Saturday and Sunday and having the machine stop. We got to keep this, you know, the industrialization or whatever just plugging along. So they purposely gave like wives and husbands and brothers and sisters and families different days off. So like if your day off you didn't have Like a weekend. You just work all the time. It was never ending shift work. And then, let's say, like, on, like, you know, Loaf of Bread Day, you were given off, but your wife was off on Woolen Military Cap Day. And for, like, a couple years, everyone just lived this weird existence where the calendar was perfect, purposely stripped from, like, any religious connotation. They didn't want Sunday because that, like, you know, Sunday technically was about God and resting, and that put something above the state. So they took all that stuff away for a couple years. No one got to really even see each other. That all of the holidays were stripped out. They. They would give you a day off for, like, the day of the day Lennon was born. I don't know Some, but he might have came later. I don't even know. But my whole point is they had this thing where they try to genuinely replace a calendar for several years, several years, and it's just everyone is miserable. No one could see anybody. You would have off, and no one else you really knew would have off. You would just sit there your whole. You just sit by yourself alone on your day off. And eventually what happened was the machines from never, like, getting to stop, basically, and, like, cool down, the machines all started to falter and break. And eventually the machines started getting up. So the Soviet government was like, all right, guys, we're gonna let you see your loved ones again. And they. They allowed people to start seeing each other, and then, you know, it's kind of fake as hell. You know what I mean? They're like, we see you. We heard you. But it was just the machines collapsed. That's so sad that, like, they, like, pretty much dehumanized their population just to have the machines never stop producing crap. Which is funny, because I thought communism was more about, like, chilling, just, like, kicking up, you know, kicking with the homies and. No, it was just all about the machines. And the machines collapsed, and then they got to go back to the standard Gregorian calendar. So, I don't know. Pretty chill, I guess. But then the whole society collapsed after that, shortly after, and. I don't know. Now it's Russia's. Just Russia fighting, I guess. You know? I guess from Russia. I don't think they had a good year at all. A lot of people died, so. Million, they say. A million people. Jeez Louise, that would piss me off. I was Russian. Like, that wasn't even true. Someone just talking mess, being like, you know, like, a million guys died in Russia. And I'm like, no, we didn't. Probably you think it's a million? I. I'm under the impression that Russia is winning the war. But look, let's not get bogged down in 20, 25 conflicts, guys. I just thought that was cool, the idea of just like, trying to, as a government, upend time itself, to be like, we're in charge of how you view time. And it's like, what a crazy thing to do. It's just so crazy to get that into politics. I was recently, we had a nice little game night. You know, me, my wife, some other couples, and someone there found out that I had never voted before, ever. Until, like, my wife dragged me to do it this year. And they were, they were like, they had a pretty serious, like, that's like up. You've never voted. And it's like, look, if you want to vote, fucking vote. But like this whole idea that, like, you can somehow embed politics into like, your identity and the core of your being. I don't know, dude. It's like, it's fucking weird. Just don't. Just fucking don't do it. The whole point of the government is to make sure there's like, food and roads so you can go and do the stuff you need to do to get food. Being into that, it's. It's like being stoked on the dmv. That's the government, it's the dmv, it's the capital. And it's just like all the weird human beings were like, I represent that. And it's like, okay, dude, like, cool, go do that. I'm glad you do that. But all these people thinking they can like, wrap themselves up in like, any a political identity left and right. It's like, oh, man, I hope that stuff falls by the wayside soon because it is so unbelievably lame to just get into that. I don't know, people ask, you never voted? It's like, yeah, because I've never. Every single president I've seen, I've been like, this person's a freak, you know? And it's like, I guess I'm kind of a freak, but not like that, man. If I was, if I was president, I don't know, I would go classic, like school president style. Soda machines everywhere. That's probably. While we're in debt. That's probably why we're in debt. We're. We're in debt. I don't know. What's the debt? Like $90 trillion. It just keeps growing and growing. The first thing I would do as president is say, hey, Guys, we've been in debt long enough. Let's cancel the debt. They could do that. I think they could do that. And they don't. So it's like, I'm not voting for anyone until they say, hey, guys, you know that $90 trillion we're in debt? Let's just say, fuck it, I'm the government. The debt is to the cut. No, it's probably to other countries. Whatever. Just call the other countries and be like, dude, you really gonna hold me to the fire on this, man? 90 Trill. Can we just forget about this? Can we just all chill, please? It's so lame. 40 trillion. Yeah. $40 trillion. The interest on that every year has got to be. There's no way. Once you're. Once you're in a loan set up for $40 trillion. Like, what is that? If I'm guessing, these people who own this debt are getting at least 3%. So let's. Let's do. Let's. Let's see if we ever can get out of this, because I don't. I honestly don't think we can. So here we go. So we have. I don't even know if my calculator. I got to hold it sideways. These are big dog numbers here. Hold on, we're entering big dog numbers. 41, 23. Okay, 40,000. 1, 2, 3. 40 million. 1, 2, 3, 40. Billy. Okay, I'm at $40 trillion. Let's go times 0.03. Let's. Let's say we're doing 3% interest, huh? Let's see. 3% interest equals. Oh, okay, we. The interest we're accruing on $40 trillion of debt is $1.2 trillion a year. We're never getting out of this. They got. This is embarrassing, dude. $1.2 trillion and you're gonna have a guy every four years be like, I'll tell you what, I'm an old fashioned kind of guy and I get it. Shut the up. Every year we owe one the debt, it grows. If we just pay our payments, we pay the minimum, which we probably do. 1.2 million more. $1.2 trillion more dollars. So, you know, next time someone's going to be like, well, you should vote. It's like, dude, get the debt down. Then I'll fucking think about it, right? Otherwise, what am I vote. It's a fucking bullshit puppet show. Unless we can get out of. I'm embarrassed. Every time I travel to another country, it's all I can think about. I just go, fuck. We're really in the hole for 40 trill. Is that really. That's 3%? One point. 1.2 would be 3% of 40 trill, dude. Trillion. So it looks like we have a little bit of a higher interest rate too. How much grew by 2 trillion? Jeez. Oh. And how. How does it. I've said this forever. If you're in. If you're in charge of running any enterprise and if you fell into. Let's just say you're in a company and you fell into $1 billion of debt, you would think people would start looking around and go, well, hold on a second Here we are $1 billion in debt and no one's gonna stop at, we were $40 trillion in debt. Once we hit a trillion, you're telling me nobody in this highly capable, like, million person machine turned and went, we gotta figure out how to get. And if they didn't, it tells me that debt is just a contrived thing that's totally meaningless anyway. Because you always hear that you're like, well, you know, your grandkids are going to be, you know, 350 million people with a $40 trillion. Our great grandkids are going to owe 20 bazillion dollars. And it's like, what the. No, they're not. They're never going to. Like. It makes absolutely zero sense to say that's going to stop us in any way, shape or form. Unless it's like, all. Does our tax money go to paying the debt? I have no clue. All I'm saying is when AI takes your job, right? Forget about the debt. At that point, you should say, all right, like, AI taking your job. You know what I was thinking about today, and I don't know if this is like a good thing or not. It's sad, it's scary. It's kind of like, what am I going to do with myself? But then maybe, you know, I'm bright siding. Obviously, the cotton gin kind of freed the slaves. It wasn't like the bleeding hearts of people was that we came up with a machine that kind of. We're like, okay, we don't need all these slaves. AI could be the cotton gin of fat, frumpy office workers. That's all I'm saying. How nice would that be? How nice would that be? I don't know. Whatever. Anyway, guys. Yeah, I think that's. Yeah, let's fight. Let's do the final clip. And guys, this is a good one. Check this out. I didn't know you got. You were that drunk. We were on the Plane together.
