Overview

This episode of REAL AF is a wide-ranging exploration of trending (and often absurd) cultural topics, conspiracy theories, political news, and business insights. True to the show’s irreverent, "no B.S." tone, Andy and DJ mix sharp critique, humor, and debate as they move from discussing the mainstream media’s portrayal of violence to AI bots taking over the Internet, and finally the corporate blunders at Cracker Barrel. Packed with cynicism, off-color jokes, and candid business advice, the show leans into its anti-woke, pro-reality branding.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Media Hysteria vs Reality: Perceptions of 'Dangerous Cities'

• [00:49] DJ recounts a recent trip to Chicago, highlighting how much safer it felt compared to its media reputation.
• Andy and DJ reflect on how isolated incidents (like the Mike Brown riots) are exaggerated into broad danger narratives by media, driving public fear.
• Quote:

  "You see what's portrayed online... Chicago’s a dumpster fire. Wasn't that bad. Wasn't bad at all." — DJ Cruise [02:09]

2. 60 Seconds of Liberal Insanity: Making Fun of ANTIFA 'Tanks'

• [04:29] DJ introduces a satirical segment where they react to an AI-generated image of overweight ANTIFA members in tanks, riffing on "trans-disabled" trends and colorfully mocking activist subcultures.
• Andy and DJ lampoon the alleged contradictions and perceived lack of logic among activist groups, especially the overlap between anti-system rhetoric and dependence on "the system."
• Quote:

  “You are a product of the system that you claim to oppose... you have been fooled.” — Andy Frisella [08:00]

• Andy calls out online activists as pseudo-intellectuals, arguing their talking points are incoherent and self-defeating.
• They discuss the psychology of "low IQ," equating it to strong certainty mixed with ignorance.

3. Activism, Identity, and Cultural Hypocrisy

• [10:33] Andy critiques LGBTQ+ activists who also claim solidarity with groups whose cultures may be hostile to them, particularly Muslims/Palestinians.
• Argues that "useful idiots" in progressive movements are advocating for people who "legitimately hate" them.
• Quote:

  "You are extremely susceptible to any sort of propaganda… blocking yourself from being able to accept other perspectives." — Andy Frisella [10:57]

• Explores the clash between Western cultural norms and imported ideologies, warning of increased anti-LGBTQ+ violence as a result of immigration from conservative societies.

4. Dead Internet Theory & The AI Takeover

Segment Start: [48:30]

• DJ provides a summary of new cybersecurity data indicating that over 60% of Internet activity may now be generated by bots.
• Andy extrapolates: for years, platforms, intelligence agencies, and marketers have used bots not only to shape commercial outcomes but also to steer public narratives and even political perception.
• Quote:

  "Most people cannot tell the difference between AI and reality anymore." — Andy Frisella [56:04]

• The hosts warn this marks a move toward a world where historical video and "fact" can be easily manufactured, with immense potential for gaslighting entire populations.
• The analog "real world" is being re-valued by younger generations (e.g., teens returning to flip phones).

Business Insight:

• Andy pitches his analog-first community "operatorstandard.com" as a haven for genuine human connection and personal development, contrasting it with the inauthenticity of online life.

5. Woke Corporate Failures: Cracker Barrel’s “Modernization” Collapse

Segment Start: [93:32]

• DJ summarizes the downfall of Cracker Barrel’s CEO Julie Fails Messino, after failed woke rebranding led to customer backlash and her resignation.
• Andy rails against "second/third generation" CEOs and Ivy Leaguers who, in his view, try to serve spreadsheets instead of customers and don’t understand authentic brand culture.
• Argues real entrepreneurs and small business owners are better equipped than corporate "technocrats."
• Quote:

  "When the company goes from serving the customer... to this is an asset... that has to perform, that’s when the shit's over." — Andy Frisella [100:28]

6. Conspiracy Theory Riffing, Propaganda, and Social Manipulation

• [69:02+] The team dissects a "conspiracy theory chart," mocking the dismissals of once-fringe ideas that often later turn out to be true.
• They connect social media manipulation, government interests, and the difficulty of discerning reality in the online info-fog.
• The overuse of charges like “antisemitism” as a shield for powerful interests is also called out.
• Quote:

  "The more you call anti-Semitic shit that clearly isn’t... the more anti-Semitism you actually create." — Andy Frisella [74:05]

7. Business, Entrepreneurship, and Culture

• Andy and DJ reflect on what makes great CEOs: not credentials, but vision, adaptability, and personal connection to customers.
• True entrepreneurs don’t strictly follow rules—they see opportunity in what hasn’t been done and think creatively about risk and change.
• Quote:

  "A true CEO does not follow the rules... if it’s never been done before, that’s an opportunity." — Andy Frisella [105:19]

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• On Social Media AI:

  "If you could do that with history books after 50 years, how fast could you do that with videos after 15 years?" — Andy Frisella [69:10]

• On Empathy and Social Trends:

  "The term ‘suicidal empathy’ is highly appropriate in this particular case." — Andy Frisella [47:39]

• On Corporate Disconnect:

  "Go talk to the customers, dude. I spend hours in gas stations talking to customers… these woke executives, they're too good to do that." — Andy Frisella [97:48]

Episode Tone & Style

The conversation is routinely irreverent, provocative, and laced with sarcasm and cynicism. The hosts use direct, sometimes coarse language to make points, and include tangents or detours into history, science fiction (e.g., The Matrix, Idiocracy), and personal anecdotes. Despite the banter, Andy consistently brings each topic back to a core argument about reality, personal responsibility, and skepticism towards mainstream narratives.

---

For Listeners

This episode serves as both commentary and warning: don’t trust the surface-level narratives you’re fed—whether by the media, activist influencers, or corporate overlords. Seek reality, build genuine personal connections, and, above all, stay sharp before the bots, bureaucrats, and buffoons take over entirely.

"Don't be a hoe. Share the show." — Andy Frisella [120:30]

Oh, yeah, dude, it was great. It was great. It was very refreshing. Surprisingly clean, you know I'm saying, like, I was expecting it to be fucking, you know, it was. It was good.

[Andy Purcella]

Like, you're thinking it's going to be like the river.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, I thought it was going to be like fudgeing, you know, Ms. needles and shit and fucking used condoms, you know, it was.

[Andy Purcella]

You didn't see those.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, it was. It was clean, man. It was a great time. Do we went to some like, amazing restaurants. I got to give a shout out one of the. He's a head chef called culinary director of this group up there called Dynamic. They have like fucking 17 restaurants.

[Andy Purcella]

Oh, yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

And like, bro, the majority of them are on, like the top 10 fucking restaurants in Chicago. And they're fucking amazing. The chef, Joe Riz, called him Riz. Fucking awesome dude.

[Andy Purcella]

Resonator.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, bro, he was resonating. Yeah, sure. He was doing it for sure.

[Andy Purcella]

Really Part of. It's part of the deal, man, when you're in the hospitality industry, bro. Amazing to have a little razzle dazzle.

[DJ Cruise]

Amazing shit, bro. Yeah, absolutely amazing time. No, it was great, though. But I am. I am glad to be back. I'm glad to be here and I am ready to cruise some Internet.

[Andy Purcella]

Let's do it.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Now, you know, we did a little something Last, last show. And I tried not to do it often, you know, but the people did like it. And so I felt like it's appropriate that we kick this, the show off with 60 seconds of Liberal insanity.

[Andy Purcella]

All right?

[DJ Cruise]

And we have something new. Evolution, if you will. Antifa people now have tanks.

[Andy Purcella]

Oh, yeah, yeah,

[DJ Cruise]

I did this.

[Andy Purcella]

This is my prompt, by the way. Oh, you made that?

[DJ Cruise]

I made that.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. That's good.

[DJ Cruise]

That's not bad. Yeah, that's not bad. All right, let's check out the new antifa tanks and what they got growing. 60 seconds of his liberal insanity. Check this out.

[Andy Purcella]

Oh, that's wrong. Dude. What's going on here? Is this a handicap thing

[DJ Cruise]

they're capping for sure.

[Andy Purcella]

I mean, it looks like half the people belong in the wheelchair and half people are just fat, bro.

[DJ Cruise]

That's what I was going to like. Okay, percentage wise, right?

[Andy Purcella]

Like, it's like half and half.

[DJ Cruise]

It's about.

[Andy Purcella]

You think they're trans disabled, you know what I'm saying? That's a, that's a thing. That's a thing that some of these people try to do. They say they're trans disabled so that they can like get the special privileges and the attention of a disabled person. Like, imagine how good your life has to be to pretend to be, to want to be. Yes.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Like, that's the irony of this whole thing. Like, dude, at any other time in history, these people would not have been tolerated.

[DJ Cruise]

They wouldn't have survived.

[Andy Purcella]

No, they wouldn't have been tolerated at all. And then they're complaining about oppression and fascism and all this, which. Dude, we do have degrees of fascism that exists in our country, but it's not the way they describe. No, they don't even understand how to fucking. They don't even know what fascism really is. So, like, you know. Yeah, I mean, I'm not shocked, bro. This is. This is fucking. You know, at least they're not screaming.

[DJ Cruise]

Not yet. Not yet.

[Andy Purcella]

Well, I mean, yeah, in this clip.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, that person got it like fucking really bad. Look at that. Yeah, they. They got struck by God like four times.

[Andy Purcella]

Look, man, you're. There's something wrong with you.

[DJ Cruise]

We.

[Andy Purcella]

We can make fun of all kinds of people, but we're not going to make fun of actual people that are disabled, all right? I'm not joining you down that path. Any hate direct at him, okay?

[DJ Cruise]

Damn, bro. Yeah, they got hit bad, man. Just let it, let it go.

[Andy Purcella]

I'm going to stay silent on this one. I can't be responsible for what he Says, you better not have another kid, bro. It's gonna be up. Oh, bro.

[DJ Cruise]

Bro. Yeah, that's terrible.

[Andy Purcella]

Well.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, man. Yeah. I mean, how are we going to compete, though? They have tanks and now. So, like, I. I don't know what

[Andy Purcella]

these people think they're gonna do. Like I written. I mean, not just these ones, but, like, just all of them. Like, what do you think you're gonna do? You are a product of the system that you can. That you claim to oppose. Like, you're the victim of the propaganda and not just what you believe and how you live. Like, you have been fooled. Okay?

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

And you know, these people, they think they're all badass and they get these, like, spiky haircuts and dyeing purple and.

[DJ Cruise]

And, you know, the Amazon gas mask.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, bro. Down with the system and this and that. It's like, you are the product of the system, right? Completely. Like, look how fucking fat you are. You've been eating all their food. Look how sick you are. You have to take their medication. Look at the fact that you probably don't have a job and you collect government funds for. You're. You're claiming to want to tear the system down that allows you to even survive. Like, it's just totally hypocritical and honestly, just stupid. And then you talk to some of these people and they're like pseudo intellectuals, you know what I'm saying? Like, they like to. They speak pretty well. They've got some good vocabulary. Vocabulary. But, dude, what they say never makes any sense. And we see this over and over again. Like, dude, have you ever seen that clip going around of PBD and then that girl having an argument over.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, yeah, like, didn't try to give her a job or some like that?

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, she wouldn't take it.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

And it's like, dude, it's these people. They don't have. They're. None of their logic connects. It's. It's. It's just total. It's kicking and screaming and throwing a tantrum because their asses never got spanked when they were little kids. And they expect the world to conform to them. And the world is never going to conform to them. And it's always going to resort to natural order. It always has. It always will. And when things get too far out of whack, the strongest people in society stand up and correct it. And that's what happens. And these people have never won. They're never going to win. And in fact, they're winning isn't even Winning because if they get what it is they're after, they end up getting exterminated anyway. Communism doesn't tolerate people that can't contribute. It kills them intentionally. And most of the people in history who have advocated for communism over the course of time, once communism was in place, they were the first ones that had to turn around and face the wall, okay? So, like, it's just. It's like at this point in time, it's just like, you guys are idiots. And at the end of the day, we got to stop listening to these people or taking anything that they say serious and just do what we do, you know? Like, dude, these people. Like, these people. Like, you have all these people who are like, pro LGBTQ people, which. Fine, fine. I'm talking about activists.

[DJ Cruise]

Right, right, right.

[Andy Purcella]

But then they're like, pro Muslim and pro Palestinian, okay? And by the way, I'm with Palestine not getting exterminated. But they don't understand that if you go over there, they're going to kill you. And not only that, you're advocating for all of these people that are. That legitimately hate you to come across the border who have no sympathy, no. No respect, no reservation about tolerating anything that you're about. So it's like, dude, these people don't see the holes in their own game, and it's just because they're. They're literally retarded. I mean, that's what it comes down to. These are low IQ people. And, you know. You know what the number one thing of, like, low IQ people is? It's that they. They. They're so certain about what they know, and they're completely unaware of their own ignorance. And when you have those two things, a certainty about what you know and an unawareness of your own ignorance to reality, you are extremely susceptible to any sort of propaganda. And you're also blocking yourself from being able to accept other perspectives and learn to see what the truth is. So. Yeah, you know when you talk to double.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

That's why it's no. There's no. You know, my dad always has a saying. He's like, you know, don't argue with stupid, okay? You can't argue with stupid because that makes you stupid.

[DJ Cruise]

Right, right, right.

[Andy Purcella]

So it's like, dude, whatever, man. You know, you guys have your fake fucking revolution. You think you're the. Whatever the fuck you think you are. You've never won a revolution in the history of the world, and you're not going to win this either. This isn't going to happen. Like, find something else to fucking advocate for. Because, dude, all it's going to take is a bunch of men showing up at one of your protests and literally fucking exterminating the entire protest in like 30 seconds for. For all of you to learn your lesson. I mean, that's. That's what comes down to.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

You know, you're going to piss the wrong people off, man.

[DJ Cruise]

Never ends well, dude, you don't listen. Never ends well for that.

[Andy Purcella]

You don't call for the smoke unless you can handle the smoke, period. And running into schools and shooting up schools and creating violent scenarios and then blaming it on white people is getting tired. People are tired of it and they know where it's coming from. So, you know, it's. It is what it is. These people are creating their own bed and they're going to have to lie in it. And it's. It is what it is. I don't have any sympathy for them. They don't have any sympathy for me or you or anybody else. That's reasonable.

[DJ Cruise]

No, absolutely not, man. Absolutely not. Guys, let us know down in the comments what you guys think. I'm surprised I didn't see more.

[Andy Purcella]

There's nothing scary about these people.

[DJ Cruise]

No, no, do that.

[Andy Purcella]

That's what I'm saying.

[DJ Cruise]

You're gonna. You're gonna fucking. You're gonna take over the government, bro.

[Andy Purcella]

Come on, man. Have you seen these people try to shoot guns?

[DJ Cruise]

No.

[Andy Purcella]

They shoot guns and, like, start crying and.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, man.

[Andy Purcella]

You know, like, they're.

[DJ Cruise]

They're like, I shoot guns and start crying, too. That's typically if I, like, run out of ammo or something.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

You know what I'm saying? Yeah, same thing. Yeah, same. Same. I guess.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. Dude, everybody's tired of these people. These people are tired. Like, they've worn out their welcome. They're not going to continue to be tolerated, you know? And what is it? I got a real question.

[DJ Cruise]

Okay.

[Andy Purcella]

What is it with the hair?

[DJ Cruise]

I don't know.

[Andy Purcella]

What is it with. Do you know there's a study that people that. That color their hair outside the normal color range of hair, like, have a much higher propensity to have mental illness? Well, it's. Yeah, but it's, like, proven.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, no. She's like a signed, like.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

I don't know what the that is, dude. I never. I never got that piece of it, too.

[Andy Purcella]

Me neither.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. It's like, dude, you want everybody to treat you like a normal person, but you run around with lime green anime hair, you know, like, what are you Staring at. Well, you did it. Yeah. You did that. You know, you got. Dude, I was sitting.

[DJ Cruise]

I just want to be accepted.

[Andy Purcella]

I was with my buddy, and, like, dude, you know, I got a lot of tattoos. I was sitting with my buddy. This is a number of years ago. He's tattoo artist, and we were drinking beers, and he has his face tattooed. Probably not his whole face, but half of his face has got tattoos on it. And he was sitting there and he's like, you know, people treat me like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and, like, kind of complaining like, that people treated him different looked at. I'm like, bro, your face has drawings on it.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right. Like permanent.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. Like, you. That's not normal. People are gonna look at that.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Like, I don't give a. That you tattooed your face. I don't give a. But, like, yeah, that people are gonna look.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

And you can't pretend that you're part of some sort of, like, oppressed class for the. That you did to yourself.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right. You know that we call that the old stick in the tire.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. Yeah, dude. And I remember we were having beers, and I told him that, and, like, he. It was like a light went off in his head, and he's like, oh, yeah, man. I'm like, you did that?

[DJ Cruise]

What the.

[Andy Purcella]

You know, if anything, if you're gonna walk around tattooed like that, who gives a. That should be a signal that you don't care. What. Anybody accept those.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, dude.

[Andy Purcella]

Like, how. How are you gonna care what anybody thinks if they look at you weird and you decided to get your face tattooed?

[DJ Cruise]

Right?

[Andy Purcella]

Like, you. You should have thought about that. You know, dude, everybody I know that has their face tattooed for real, like, their tattoo guys, they all understand that. This one guy did not. I was like, man, come on, dude. Anyway, don't look at me. You look like you're fucking came out of the Simpsons, bro. I'm gonna look at you.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. It's gonna happen. The resistance.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. These people. And then they say they're the resistance, but then they support all of the resistance, right? Like, they. They say the system is so up and we gotta tear it down. Well, you eat their food, you take their medicine, you consume their propaganda. You believe it.

[DJ Cruise]

Stop resisting.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. Like.

[DJ Cruise]

Or start resisting. Is that a penis? I think that's a penis on her arm. I don't know.

[Andy Purcella]

It's weird.

[DJ Cruise]

No, you know,

[Andy Purcella]

I don't know. They're talking about where they're gonna go eat.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, yeah, no shit. This is why there's not.

[Andy Purcella]

No, we don't want to go there because they treat us weird.

[DJ Cruise]

No. Yeah,

[Andy Purcella]

bro, remember that time we were at fucking. Remember that time we were out to eat? It was me, you, and Hani and that fucking table full of people with goofy hair was like, three tables over?

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

And it was like these two, like, I don't even care.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, bro, it was these. I felt too bad.

[Andy Purcella]

Two, like, big women. Like, big women with, like, green and purple hair. What?

[DJ Cruise]

Can't assume.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. Okay. I don't know.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

I don't know what they were.

[DJ Cruise]

Right.

[Andy Purcella]

These two things.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, that's right.

[Andy Purcella]

And then there was, like, these two normal looking dudes with them with, like, polo shirts and, like, khaki shorts. Like they just came in from golf. And all we could see the whole night was like, those two women just running their mouths and these two dudes, like, with their heads down, bro. And it was like, are we. Are you guys that, like, are you that desperate for some poon? Like, what are you. Like you're gonna tolerate that the poon?

[DJ Cruise]

Because it's tired of the goon?

[Andy Purcella]

Come on, man. Come on, man. Like, dude, sometimes nothing's better than something,

[DJ Cruise]

you know, saying, like, sometimes a loss is a win.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, that's right. Yes. Something. I mean, for real, you remember that?

[DJ Cruise]

I do. It's so weird because, like, it's like seeing odd couples. It was not.

[Andy Purcella]

That was super odd.

[DJ Cruise]

It was like, you know, a super tall dude, super short girl. It's like.

[Andy Purcella]

I think that was like.

[DJ Cruise]

Like, whatever.

[Andy Purcella]

I think that was like those dudes and like, one of them's sister and her friend or something.

[DJ Cruise]

I think they lost a fantasy football.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, maybe.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

I couldn't make sense of the thing how.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

But all I know is them dudes were embarrassed to be there.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, for sure. Yeah, for sure. And they had to pay.

[Andy Purcella]

It might be one of them a lot. It might be one of them weird fetishes from gooning too much.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, you think so?

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, like, they got a weird fetish and then, like, you know, and then they, like, started having the fetish in private. And then one, they harassed him enough, like, why don't you want to see me in? And so they're like, all right, fuck, we'll take them to dinner this one time, you know, Say it. Like, maybe it was like that.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

I don't know, because they were. Their heads were down.

[DJ Cruise]

Did I pray for those. I pray for those guys.

[Andy Purcella]

I think about them often.

[DJ Cruise]

That's what I'm saying.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

I pray for those guys every day.

[Andy Purcella]

I like, dude, that was three years ago. I still think about them.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. Guys jump in the conversation. Let us know down in the comments. I'm really impressed with this, this generated picture. Yeah, it's not too bad. Yeah, but I couldn't do it. Yeah, man, we got.

[Andy Purcella]

I don't know how you got the. I don't know how you got the AI to make like the woman so fat because like normally the AI will be like, we can't.

[DJ Cruise]

Offensive. Yeah, yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

We can't do derogatory things.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, it's funny. No, no, it was chat. But it did, it did title it as inappropriate requests.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

So. Yeah, but it made it. It didn't make it for me. Honestly. I said drop me a caricature of an overweight antifa person driving a tank.

[Andy Purcella]

Well, that's what. It's pretty accurate.

[DJ Cruise]

It's pretty good.

[Andy Purcella]

No justice, no peace.

[DJ Cruise]

Defund everything.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, yeah,

[Guest or Contributor]

it's great.

[Andy Purcella]

Defund everything. But give me your money.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right. Yeah. Defund you to fund me, whatever.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, well, it costs a lot to eat that much.

[DJ Cruise]

It does. It ain't cheap.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, yeah. Eat everything.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, man. Guys, remember, if you would like to see any of these articles, pictures, links, videos, go to andyforcella.com you guys can check them all link there.

[Andy Purcella]

You ever notice it? Why it's eat the rich and it's always big fat people.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

What a dude. Couldn't it be something like kill the rich or like.

[DJ Cruise]

No, I think that because destroy the rich.

[Andy Purcella]

Why has it got to be eat?

[DJ Cruise]

Well, why waste that meat?

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

You know what I'm saying? Like, why waste it? You don't waste good food, you know, you know, they're eating. They're eating the finest.

[Andy Purcella]

Have you seen that, have you seen that thing on the. The.

[DJ Cruise]

The giant of Kandahar, Giant of Kandahar.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, look it up.

[DJ Cruise]

TV show.

[Andy Purcella]

The Giant of Kandahar or the Kandahar Giant.

[DJ Cruise]

Giant of Kandahar. Yeah, it's the. Is this. Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

So like, dude, apparently this when we were in Afghanistan because like, dude, I don't know if people know, like there's been like giant skulls and bones.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. Found.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, like giant, like giant human being skulls.

[DJ Cruise]

Sure.

[Andy Purcella]

And we're not talking like they were 8 footers. They were like 12ft tall and bones and skeletons and they keep all that classified. There's been all kinds of whistleblowers about it. And so this deal with the Kandahar Giant, allegedly. There it is right there. Allegedly. A U. S Patrol went missing in the mountains of Kandahar, and a rescue team tracked them to a cave where they found the team killed. Okay. So then they sent another patrol to the cave where the people didn't come back from, and they found this giant eating the remains of the. The first patrol. Well, they killed this thing, and it was supposedly, like, 12ft, 13ft tall, 1100 pounds. And the US military, like, shipped its body back here, and there's been, like, whistleblowers that were, like, on the scene talking about it.

[DJ Cruise]

No.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. On the Internet recently. Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

I've not heard this story.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. Yeah. So apparently, you know, giants are real. For real.

[DJ Cruise]

Like, still. I mean, that's what they're saying, but this is one that's actually still living.

[Andy Purcella]

I mean, dude, you got to remember, man, there's lots of. There's large parts of the planet that are not explored. They're not explored. You know, like, the mountainous regions of Iran and, like, all through Afghanistan and all that. Dude, the. It's so treacherous that most people don't know what's even there, bro. You know, and then you start thinking about the ocean.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, bro, the ocean scares the Out.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, dude.

[DJ Cruise]

Like, it scares the.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, I mean, most of the world is covered by the water, bro. And think of all the terrain underneath.

[DJ Cruise]

I forget the stat. They say we only, like. We have only explored about 3% of the ocean.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. I don't know, man.

[DJ Cruise]

It's. That's insane. That's crazy, though.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. Yeah. You didn't see this?

[DJ Cruise]

No, I didn't see this.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, Rogan's talked about it, and I think Sean Ryan had a thing about it, too.

[DJ Cruise]

Jesus.

[Guest or Contributor]

We have visually observed less than 0.001% of the deep ocean flow.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. Because that's where the aliens live.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. No, pretty sure.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. Pretty sure that's Right. That's where the aliens live, bro.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

That's crazy.

[Guest or Contributor]

Supposedly, we know more about the outer space than about our own oceans.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. I wonder if that's true. I wonder if that's actually true. That's just what they tell us because they don't want us, like, knowing what's there.

[Guest or Contributor]

100. And that brings up another question. Do you think outer space is real or not? That's a whole different discussion.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, I.

[Guest or Contributor]

You know, for another day.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. It's wild. Yeah. Guys, jump on this conversation. Let us know what you.

[Andy Purcella]

Bro, the more I think about it, the more I think we live in a quantum simulation for real.

[DJ Cruise]

Like, it's all just. No, I think, like, the matrix.

[Andy Purcella]

I think if you. I, I think it turns, it comes into, like, what people's identity is about themselves. Like, what they think they are, they do become. And I've observed that for so long, being in the personal development space, the way that I've been in it, that, like, when people think they're poor, they're going to be poor. When people think they're nobody, they're going to be nobody. When people have, you know, no evidence to support that they're going to be something, they become something. And I really think that our reality is tied directly to our projections of what our own identity is on the world. I truly believe that 100% agree.

[Guest or Contributor]

About four or five years ago, I started changing things in my vocabulary and I started to pick the negative words and put them out. Like, I would never say that. Oh, I'm so bad at this. I just say that I'm learning it or I haven't done it yet.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[Guest or Contributor]

Changing things like that have opened so many new doors for me. And if in general has made the life better.

[Andy Purcella]

Well, dude, and also, like, think about this, man. Like, most people don't take the time to even, like, see what their life should be like. They live in a completely reactive state. So, like, they, they take the position of the world is the world. And what happens to me is what I gotta take.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yes.

[Andy Purcella]

And successful people, people who become things and build things and create things. That's not the position they take. They take the position of the world is the world, but I'm gonna do this in the world. And so they see this as. You know, I don't know if it's like, delusional belief or, or what it is, but, like, they have a. An unreasonable, misunderstood belief of who they are and what they are. And that usually ends up materializing. Like, I've seen total dumbasses. I'm one of them who have created incredible lives just because they refused to accept what the identity was that the world tried to put on them.

[Guest or Contributor]

I legit believe that.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[Guest or Contributor]

This is why, like, people who, if you look at them, if you talk negative, they talk negative. Negative things happen to them.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[Guest or Contributor]

If they keep talking bad. Some of the people, their default state, if one thing goes wrong. Oh, this happens to me all the time. It keeps repeating.

[Andy Purcella]

Well, and then they also lack the ability to see the good things. Right. Like, it prevents more good shift. Exactly.

[Guest or Contributor]

100%. Like you said, if you go in deep into quantum physics and talk about energy and your magnetic field, all that stuff, it scientifically Proves that every thought you think is some sort of like an energy exchange.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[Guest or Contributor]

And how do you actually tune a radio and listen to a song? Everything exists out there. You're tuning your frequency to match that, and that's what you get.

[Andy Purcella]

I agree.

[DJ Cruise]

So maybe there is something to the. The butthole sunning. Right. Doesn't that tune your frequency

[Andy Purcella]

anyway? Z, I agree with you.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

I'm saying that's what they do.

[Guest or Contributor]

Right.

[DJ Cruise]

The crystals up the butt.

[Andy Purcella]

And you let us know maybe they're on to something.

[DJ Cruise]

I'm saying, like, I don't know.

[Andy Purcella]

You know, I think. I think. I think we're talking about many different things here.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

I think, you know, there's a lot of people who think that they can think things or visualize things and those things will automatically happen. And they think that it's like magic. Right. So they don't actually go out. And could. I think it could take. It takes two parts. One, you have to know where you're going, and you have to believe in where you're going and what you're going to do. And you have to constantly focus on that vision. Number two, you got to be willing to work towards that.

[Guest or Contributor]

100 right.

[Andy Purcella]

You've got to be able to take the controllable actions towards that outcome. And when you have those two pieces together, things materialize.

[Guest or Contributor]

100.

[Andy Purcella]

You know, but most people can't get out of their own way, man, because they grew up in a situation where their parents told them they were going to be nothing, their teachers told them they were going to be nothing. They heard their parents and their teachers and their aunts and uncles talk about how success and doing things and doing big things was for other people or corrupt people or bad people. And when you assume that to be the reality, how can you break out of it to want to be something better?

[DJ Cruise]

100 surrounded by seeing nothing.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. But it becomes an adopted identity that you're not aware that you carry.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yes. You're so right. Because I often get asked a lot after working six years with you and in this atmosphere, what are some of the top things that I've learned? And one of the best things is that my ceiling now of what I could achieve in life is completely broken. Because I see you, Sal, and other people operate how effectively. And you guys are legit living people's dream, even though you don't see it according to you. But then if we go back, you all started from nothing.

[Andy Purcella]

Right.

[Guest or Contributor]

That's how everybody starts.

[Andy Purcella]

Right.

[Guest or Contributor]

But then when we are ingrained in a 30 year psychological programming of hey, you can't achieve this, only those people can or you have to do something wrong.

[Andy Purcella]

Well, and then they write off those scenarios. Right? Like all the scenarios of all the people who literally come from nothing, who've. Which by the way is most of the success. Okay, it's most of the success, it's not the anomaly. The anomaly is you grew up in a rich family and you got funded and comfortable. Yes, that's the anomaly. The reality is that most of the success, most of the great things, most of the great stories, most of the iconic personalities started from very little. And the reason that they were able to achieve those things is because they learned how to compete and fight, fight at a young age. Okay, so like this whole lie about that it's luck or it's this or it's an anomaly. It's just that people fill their brains with so that they don't have to admit that they, they could do the

[Guest or Contributor]

work too to justify their excuses.

[Andy Purcella]

Right.

[Guest or Contributor]

100%. And also going back to your earlier conversation, those people who had little or had very worse circumstances, they told themselves that I'm not going to accept this.

[Andy Purcella]

Yes.

[Guest or Contributor]

And they see it. The examples, let's say somebody living somewhere in a very third world countries looking at you and they know your story and they say they that if he can do it, I can do it too. No matter what my circumstances is. And that's when they become something.

[Andy Purcella]

Well, I mean look dude, if that's your case and you're listening in some east butt country, the first step would be to put yourself in an environment where your dreams are possible. Which means you have to figure out how to get somewhere like that. Right. Just not here.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Yes, yes.

[DJ Cruise]

No shit.

[Guest or Contributor]

You can subscribe to Operator Standard and learn some tricks there.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, that's right.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah man. Guys, remember, if you want to see any of these pictures, articles, links, videos, go to andyforcella.com you guys can check them all linked there.

[Andy Purcella]

Actually, I take that back. I will. The people with real ambition that want to win those, those are the great people.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, that's who we want here. Yeah, that's what we want here. Now if you're coming here to Aloha snack bar some.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Your dreams are possible there. Yeah, keep those dreams over there, you know what I'm saying? Let's get to the cruise dog. We're at hella number one. Let's dive into it now. Andy, it's been a very interesting day. Lot of very like. I know I say this A lot, right? Like, we got a lot of shit. There's some weird shit happening.

[Andy Purcella]

Like what?

[DJ Cruise]

And you kind of led up to it with the candle heart stuff. It's just weird, bro. It's. People are doing some shit.

[Andy Purcella]

They shut CERN down.

[DJ Cruise]

Might be. Dude, it might fudgeing be.

[Andy Purcella]

I think first we got to go

[DJ Cruise]

to the White House. All right. Because they posted something that is probably one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen posted, let alone from an actual government entity and official account. So the White House. The official White House Twitter account posted a video. No caption, no nothing. Let's check it out.

[Andy Purcella]

Sam, That was posted on the account?

[DJ Cruise]

Yep.

[Andy Purcella]

What the Is, bro?

[DJ Cruise]

What the Is happening? Okay, so we have that.

[Andy Purcella]

Which.

[DJ Cruise]

I think that by itself is weird.

[Andy Purcella]

We're not even a serious country. It's not. It's not for real.

[DJ Cruise]

That's what our government's posting.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yeah, we're definitely in a simulation.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, bro. Yeah, Like. And you know. You know how the. You know how the Internet is, bro. Like, it's gonna be conspiracy theorists and the super crazy. They're gonna get in.

[Andy Purcella]

They know that, too.

[DJ Cruise]

That's what. Like, dude, so it's just like, come on, can we get just.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, but why. So if they know that and they posted that, that means that they want that.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, there's no yeah. I mean, why else would they.

[Andy Purcella]

So what are they wanting people to talk about or not notice that's happening? Beyond that,

[DJ Cruise]

what's Interesting. You say that.

[Andy Purcella]

You get what I'm saying?

[DJ Cruise]

I get it. Look over here.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. 100.

[DJ Cruise]

Not over here.

[Andy Purcella]

So what else is happening that they don't want people picking up on?

[DJ Cruise]

That's right. Well, there's some things happening, but in the. In the string of weird shit leading up to that point. This other article comes out today that an ancient biblical prophecy is unfolding in the Dead Sea. And here's what it might mean. Saying that an ancient biblical prophecy linked to the end of the world may be beginning to unfold at the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is a landlocked salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east, the west bank to the west, and Israel to the southwest. It sits in the Jordan River Valley, Rift Valley, and is the lowest land elevation on Earth. Fresh water pools filled with plants and aquatic life have emerged beside the fish. Famously barren body of water about 12 miles east of Jerusalem. Development is extraordinary because. Because the Dead sea, located about 1400ft below sea level, is nearly 10 times saltier than the ocean and ordinary, ordinarily Will kill fish within minutes. But now there is life sprouting there. So you have that right now. Back to the reality of the world. What they don't want you guys to see is all these strings of violence happening across the country and the world. Three dead in Seattle. Five others injured to a two year old boy among them being killed. There was also a terrorist attack that occurred in Berlin. And the crazy liberals, they're just mad that it wasn't a white person who did it. You saw this shit?

[Andy Purcella]

No. Oh, bro.

[DJ Cruise]

It's insane. Yeah. On Saturday, a suspected believed to be tied to Berlin's Islamic scene plowed through the Berlin Gay Pride parade, killing at least one person and injuring 16 others. The Berlin Christopher Street Parade is one of the largest annual LGBT events in Europe. The killer rammed his car into revelers at the annual Christopher Street Day celebration. The sun reported that the suspect then left the vehicle with the bladed weapon and attacked people in the park near the end of the parade route. Now, a woman at a vigil for this. She said that when she first heard about the attack, she had hoped that the attacker was not Muslim, but instead a white Christian man, which is absolutely insane. And then what makes it worse is that a little bit later, at a press conference, the mayor of Berlin, he asked for people not to even talk about it. Check this clip.

[Guest or Contributor]

Ask the CSD organizers in Berlin. We are distraught about what happened yesterday. Our thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and everybody who has been affected by this terrible event. We would like to offer our thanks to all volunteers and guests who wanted to demonstrate peacefully with us. Many of these people suffered much emotional stress yesterday. What they experienced will have long lasting effects. We are trying to offer emotional support, psychological support. This is needed for our team as well. I'm grateful to my team. Thank you. We are grateful to all people who assisted all first responders. Our mayor has rightly praised the collaboration with the police. Professional response was decisive in this context. We are also grateful to the fire brigade, Berlin Senate, all authorities who have been involved in this collaboration. The CSD organization in Berlin stands for solidarity, respect, coexistence. A city open to the world was on the street yesterday. What we need now, we believe, is to take a measurement approach to support everyone affected. We will not get involved with any speculation. We will wait for the result of the police investigation. Our basic approach has not changed. We reject all forms of violence. Ideologies, be they religious or other extremists, are trying to suppress people. We do not want this deed to be instrumentalized for political ends. We don't want any groups to be placed under suspicion for this. People are trying to divide our society and set some people against others. As a CSD in Berlin, we will not allow this.

[Andy Purcella]

So you don't support violence and you don't want to single out a group, but you hoped it was white. Dude,

[DJ Cruise]

that's right. White Christian.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay. These people are delusional. Okay. You're never going to get these third world extremists to accept your, it doesn't matter how much you advocate for them, how much you try to be on their side. How, how you know, you welcome, oh, you're welcome here, you're not welcome there.

[DJ Cruise]

Right.

[Andy Purcella]

And they're trying to bring their that to here.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay. And you know, I think a lot of these people's worldviews are being with. Because it's not white people doing it, it's Islamist extremist. Okay. And you know, I did see this clip, I saw a clip of some girl do like a breakdown of it and she was like, you know,

[DJ Cruise]

I see.

[Andy Purcella]

Basically she was saying that it's white people's problem because the white people were happy that the Muslim drove into the parade, which that's not the case either. Like these people are always grasping for straws, trying to like figure out how to blame. And like what this comes down to is a worldwide accepted narrative against white people. It's acceptable to be racist towards white people. It's acceptable to persecute Christians and it's not acceptable to do that to any other religion or any other race. And that is a global norm at this point.

[DJ Cruise]

It's a global narrative.

[Andy Purcella]

Right?

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

So you know, and like how, and

[DJ Cruise]

you're at the vigil in the first. And what you have to say is that when it first happened, I, I, I thought it was a white Christian man. Like that.

[Andy Purcella]

You thought wrong.

[DJ Cruise]

It never is.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, it's exactly the people you've advocated for coming to your country for the last 15 years that we all told you hated you. And it's funny because now we're seeing these situations like the gay cruise that was not allowed to dock into these other Muslim based countries and they couldn't understand why. Well, bro, did you think that we were lying?

[DJ Cruise]

Right?

[Andy Purcella]

They hate you, they don't tolerate you. Okay? You only get tolerated in our country and in Western civilizations. You don't get tolerated in Asia, you don't get tolerated in Africa, you don't get tolerated in the Middle east. And those are the countries that you advocate for us to be more like. Like what. What is wrong with your brain? Right. But you know, we're seeing.

[DJ Cruise]

Of them not.

[Andy Purcella]

We all know these people don't think and they don't know and it's. They. They're ignorant and they hear a few buzzwords and then they think that that's the way it is. And. And, dude, they're finding out. And they're going to continue to find out. It's going to get more and more. The more and more these third world Muslim extremists come to the United States, the more anti gay violence there's going to be because it's not tolerated in their culture.

[DJ Cruise]

It's useful. Idiots.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, I. I know, I'm aware.

[DJ Cruise]

Idiots. They're cheerleading the in.

[Andy Purcella]

They're cheerleading to kill them. Yes, 100% it's going to kill them. Yeah, man.

[DJ Cruise]

And they're advocating for more of it.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, well, you know, and then when

[DJ Cruise]

we try to remove them, they get mad at us for trying to remove them.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, I know. Well, that's why you can't listen to them. They should have no. They should have no more weight in anybody's discussion regarding anything like this because they're so misinformed and so misled that they will literally cheerlead their own death. And that's not. That's not something that I think even somebody who might have a negative viewpoint towards their lifestyle. Most people. Most people that don't agree with gay lgbtq, they're not like, at least here in America. Right? They're not, like, advocating for them to be slaughtered.

[DJ Cruise]

No.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay. But in other countries, that's the solution. The solution is we'll kill them. They're immoral.

[DJ Cruise]

Which I think we should. It's an important separation here for just your average gay person. The pedophiles, there might be some people calling for. That's what I'm saying. There might be some calls.

[Andy Purcella]

Those are two different things.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay.

[DJ Cruise]

It's crazy, man. Yeah, man, it's crazy now. I mean, the one thing that is weird, man, and like. And I've been seeing a bunch of this, and we don't talk about it much on the show, but just this,

[Andy Purcella]

you know, go back a little bit. Go back two slides to where the guy was speaking.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

I think they got a mole in their organization.

[DJ Cruise]

Why you say that?

[Andy Purcella]

Well, see the homie to the right.

[DJ Cruise]

Uhhuh.

[Andy Purcella]

Play the video chat. Check out that dude's mustache. Look real close.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, boy.

[Andy Purcella]

I think that we got a mole. All right.

[Guest or Contributor]

They've been.

[DJ Cruise]

We've been.

[Andy Purcella]

You want to know where the mole is, bro?

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Look at his face, too. He's like, I got to stand up here. F. He's wanting to get to his. His Nazi rally,

[DJ Cruise]

you know, he's. He's deep undercover, bro.

[Andy Purcella]

Oh, yeah, they had.

[DJ Cruise]

He.

[Andy Purcella]

But, like, look, dude, you know, like, this is a little bit of dust here. This is strong.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh,

[Andy Purcella]

yep.

[DJ Cruise]

Bro, imagine all the gay he's been having to do just to keep his cover. Oh, man.

[Andy Purcella]

Spot the mole.

[DJ Cruise]

Fuck, bro. Yeah, he spotted.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, he's in too good a shape, too, man.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, yeah. I mean, fuck, he works out. I mean. But. Okay, but hold on. A lot of gay dudes work out. Yeah, they're typically pretty here. Yeah, they're typically pretty fit.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, you know, that's true.

[DJ Cruise]

Like, that fucking stellar shape. Stellar. I mean, that's a fucking specimen.

[Andy Purcella]

He said DJs as straight as a ruler.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, man. Yeah, it's. It's. Yeah. One of the theories has been coming out here, though, dude. It's like. I mean, are we. It definitely feels like, bro, if this were the end times, would you. I'd be okay.

[Andy Purcella]

I told you, man. Like, I'm glad that I'm, like, halfway done with my life, you know? I'm like, you're all gonna have a mess to clean up.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. It does suck, though, that, like, I can finally, like, you know, where it looked good, I could fit in your cars. And now it's like, man, yeah. Trumpet's about to start playing. Yeah, bro.

[Andy Purcella]

Yep. Maybe I'll say it, dude.

[DJ Cruise]

It's crazy, man. I don't know, man. You got Coming to life in the dead sea, you know, cheerleaders advocating for their own.

[Andy Purcella]

So weird, dude. It's like, you want to sit down with them and say, how can you guys advocate for this when you can literally look at how they treat gay people? Like, how do you advocate for third world migration? How is this country.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, how.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, like, how that. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's like, oh, I'm gonna advocate so that I get cancer. Like, it's the same. Like, you don't see anybody out there saying they wish they would get cancer. No, you don't understand me. I said I wish I got AIDS or I wish someone would murder me. Right, right. But you see these people advoc. Advocating legitimately to bring in to their neighborhoods people that are willing to aloha snack bar their ass in front of the whole town square. Like, dude, what are you thinking? What are you thinking? I can. I can get down with, you know, hey, man, we gotta have empathy for everybody and this and that. But like, the, the term suicidal empathy is highly appropriate in this particular case.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, yeah, it's.

[Andy Purcella]

It's like direct. It's like a direct advocation for their own extermination. It's weird, bro.

[DJ Cruise]

It's like, look, look, they're letting them into their countries.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

It's like.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Like they're laughing at us.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

And we're. Oh.

[Andy Purcella]

And then. And then they're saying like, oh, dude. Yeah, they're gonna destroy white people. No, they're. They're going to. They are not going to destroy white people. They're going to destroy you.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right. That's right. Yeah. Shit's crazy out there, guys. Let us know down in the comments what you guys think. With that being said. Let's keep cruising. Okay, headline number two. What's the. What's that saying? It's like, what's the. How long does it take for conspiracy theory to come true or whatever? What's that saying?

[Andy Purcella]

Six months.

[DJ Cruise]

It's like six months, right? Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. Well, depends on who's talking about it.

[DJ Cruise]

Here's another one. Yeah, it's come true. Now. There's data, there's facts. Now, turns out dead Internet theory was right. AI agents are eating the web, growing by nearly 8,000% and rewiring the Internet's business model.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. Fuck yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

All right, we got the facts.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, it's 60. 40 now, bro. Yes. 60% of the Internet's fake, bro.

[DJ Cruise]

The dead Internet theory has floated around Internet forums since the 2010s, and the idea that the Internet is dominated by non human activity was often dismissed as a fringe conspiracy. Now it has become a measurable fact. Not only do multiple cybersecurity firms agree that bots outnumber humans online, they likewise are struggling to answer why, when the flip happened, or what metrics to use to. To measure it. So Cloudflare just released this report. It's. It's Thales bad bot report. Okay. And they detailed this out. I read through a lot of it. I have their. Their kind of bullet points or key findings. Okay? And this is what they have come up with is that there are 17.0.2 trillion. Okay? That's the number of bot requests that blocked by fails in 20.

[Andy Purcella]

25.

[DJ Cruise]

21%. Bot attacks targeting business logic. The percentage of Internet traffic made up by bad bots. So this is not just bots and just bad bots, right? 40%. 40%. Okay. 12 and a half time the year over year increase in AI enabled bot attacks. The percentage of AI bot attacks targeting retail sites is up 20%. 53% of all Internet traffic is made up of bots. Okay, simple bot attacks accounted for 42% of of their findings. The percentage of bot attacks using Chrome to appear as legitimate traffic. So they're now modeling websites completely. And this is, this is, this is bots AI technology completely masking itself as legitimate websites, as legitimate browsers, as legitimate retail stores. 41% increase of this. Yeah. 24 of bot attacks targeted financial services. The 47% of Internet traffic is attributed to human traffic. Bots. Bot attacks targeting APIs is 2027. Um, it's been absolutely insane. Um, Now Cloudflare, which is the Internet security and performance giant used by millions of websites worldwide, says the crossover occurred in June with bots generating 57.5% of webpage requests. Thales, a French tech group that protects data security for organizations and governments, dates the crossback crossover back to 2023, issuing a bad bot report that put bot traffic at 53% in 2026. The discrepancies reflect that there's no one standard way to measure bot traffic, as no single provider has access to activity across the entire web. According to Rudy Yang, pitchbooks enterprise and retail fintech analyst who wrote the firm's July report about agentic AI traffic. They say, quote, there's a lot of missing pieces of information, but a lot of the observed data suggests the same thing where. Which is like there is more bot activity. Yang told Fortune Agenic AI activity is driving a lot of the browser activity you're seeing. And so this makes me think, dude, it makes me think, you know, it's like, you know, I like to troll and I troll heavily, right? And every now and then I'll get fucking hit and like, you know, but it really solidified this idea that like there is a almost 60% chance at this point in time that I might, who I might be going back and forth with is not real at all.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

And like, not just like, not real, like somebody's alt account or somebody's, you know, anonymous. Like they're not real at all. Yeah, it's fucking insane.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Now it makes me think though, like, what does this truly do to the echo chamber of the world? You know what I'm saying?

[Andy Purcella]

Whatever they wanted to, bro.

[DJ Cruise]

It's fucking dangerous. Yeah, it's dangerous. What do you got on this, man?

[Andy Purcella]

Well, I got a lot on this. Okay. Number one, I'm just gonna start out straight up, let's do it. You know, I have the operatorstandard.com where there are no bots and there's a community of real people who are doing real things that will help you also do real things that connect with each other and do things in analog reality where they actually build real. And if you're looking to get away from the bots and you're looking to get back to human connection, building actual relationships instead of just arguing with on the Internet, I would highly suggest that you check it out, because the tools that we have built within it actually make winning legitimately nearly impossible as long as you execute and use the tools that are provided. It is the world's first behavioral operating system that will account for more success over the next 10 years than any other single piece of technology that has ever been created. And it's live now. And we are in, we are still building it out and we're in the early phases. But if you're interested in something like that, I'd highly suggest spending your time there, because that's where productive people live. And that's what we do there is we build, create, become better human beings that create situations where we cannot be oppressed the way that we are. And we are the resistance of personal excellence and autonomous, excellent humans that think for themselves, that progress, that get in shape, that build things, that create things, that become things. So if you're tired of all this bullshit, check out operator standard.com. that's the first thing I'm going to say. First thing, okay, the second thing I'm going to say is, which I have a few, is we see this on the Internet, okay? Like, look how good the AI accounts are now. There are so many AI accounts that you have such a hard time telling if it's a real person or a fake person. And where you're seeing this the most right now is with the fake only fans accounts, okay? You're seeing all these hot girls come out of nowhere and you know, then they have a fansly link or an only fans link. And these dudes who are creating these things are making a fucking fortune. And there's millions of them. And then what they do is they get you on there cranking your meat and then they blackmail you for more.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, you use the Hipworth Goonin.

[Andy Purcella]

Goonin. Cranking your meat. Goonin. Stroking the sausage, right? Pumping the pepperoni, starting the lawnmower, right? Yeah, whatever, man. You know, doing work, okay? And then they get that video of you and Then they demand all your shit and all your money. So all you dudes out there that haven't broke free of that, you better be aware of that, okay?

[DJ Cruise]

You hear that? Madot?

[Andy Purcella]

But the point is. The point is, is that we are in a situation where most people cannot tell the difference between AI and reality anymore, okay? Now let me ask you this. How long has that technology existed?

[DJ Cruise]

Right? Right. You want my real aunt, bro?

[Andy Purcella]

How long has that technology existed before we knew about it?

[DJ Cruise]

Way longer, okay? Way longer.

[Andy Purcella]

So why would AI automatically be intro? Listen, dude, I'm going to tell you this, and this isn't. This is a speculation. I do not believe that AI was created by Sam Altman. And you know these guys out here, Elon Musk and all these guys. I do not believe that. I believe that it's been a. It's been the same thing that we saw with social Media where the CIA was running LifeLock LifeLog and then they closed it and the next day Facebook appears. Okay? I believe this is deep, deep state technology that was strategically released at a specific time for a specific reason. And the reason that I believe that it was released at that time was because there's so many crimes against humanity that have come up. There's so many situations, like with this Epstein stuff where there's like these videos and all this crazy, that this is how they're going to weasel out of accountability eventually. Because eventually all of these things that have been coming around and been talked about are going to come to the public eye. And when they come to the public eye, they're going to say, well, that's fake. That's AI.

[DJ Cruise]

And even just the accusation of it being AI takes credit. All the. Exactly. Sale.

[Andy Purcella]

Exactly.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, bro.

[Andy Purcella]

So there's that. Okay? Then there's the idea of the technology companies. And we know this because when Elon bought Twitter, he told us this.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, Twitter files.

[Andy Purcella]

Twitter had its own system of bots inside of Twitter that they used to curb the narrative, whichever, which way. And not only do they use to curb the narrative, they use it to create the perception of traffic so that people will come back over and over and over again. And if you think about it from a business aspect, it makes perfect sense. There's no laws against it.

[DJ Cruise]

Right.

[Andy Purcella]

All right, so like, for example, it's unethical. Let's just say an operator standard.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, okay.

[Andy Purcella]

We have a community that's. That's the. That's not the main product, but the. That's part of the product. And I made 50, 000 bots, and I put them all in there and all of them were programmed to interact with people, make them feel important, you know, talk back and forth. This, that, that helps the business model for sure. Okay. Because now it brings people in, it lowers attrition, people are sucked into the conversations. And also what it does is by having the perception of that many accounts, it actually drives the value of the tech. Okay? So there's multiple motivations for these big tech companies to have their own networks of bots working inside and not want to remove them. What happens if meta, and this, by the way, is the only way that they will save their company. It's the only way they are on. Meta will lose long term if they don't. All the social medias will lose long term if they don't stop this because people are already becoming wise to it and what they're doing as a response is just disconnecting. They're. All the business trends, all the lifestyle trends, everything that's happening in the world is moving back towards analog. It's moving towards actually connecting with human beings. It's moving towards flip phones, okay? Non smart devices. People do not. They understand what's happening to a degree, to enough of a degree to where they are making the moves to move away from this. Okay. And when we think about social media and we think about the appeal of it, it's. I've been doing it long enough, basically from the beginning where I've seen the evolution firsthand. You know, when you first started on social media, you were able to. It was cool because you were able to connect with people that you had lost touch with that, you know, maybe you haven't seen since grade school or high school or college. And that was cool because you're like, oh, what's this person up to? What's that person up to? Okay. But then as it progressed, it became this new identification system for celebrity. All right. And then the influencer was born.

[DJ Cruise]

Yep.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay. Now does it benefit the social media platforms to allow influencers to use bots to progress their brand, or does it hurt them? It helps them.

[DJ Cruise]

Okay.

[Andy Purcella]

Because now you have a person that has some influence and you're amplifying that, which then amplifies their own sense of self worth and their own attachment to the brand, the platform which keeps them using. Okay. And back in the day, like in the earlier Instagram days, a big part of, you know, the random joe having 500,000 people. Dude, do you know how many people. 500,000 people really is? That's a lot of Fucking people. Okay, you're telling me Steve from high school who makes videos about blah, blah blah, has 500,000 people watching him? No.

[DJ Cruise]

No.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay, so in the early days, this is how it worked. You had a connection at meta or at, at here or there, and they would help build your page. Okay. Or you had like a black hat hacker who owned a bot farm and they would build your page. Okay. Then it progressed to where the social media companies, and I don't know if this was a part of the plan or if it was something they just figured out along the way, but they figured out that by using their own, their own bot networks and their own technology, they could also drive their own platforms.

[DJ Cruise]

Right?

[Andy Purcella]

Okay. Then it went to, well, if we can use our own bot platforms to create celebrity for people, that's going to keep them to continue to use. We could actually use this same bot platform to curb the cultural narrative in society.

[DJ Cruise]

Here comes government pressure, right?

[Andy Purcella]

So now they're using their bots to attack people that have a certain point of view and reinforce people that have another point of view. Okay? So now we have a skewed social narrative that isn't, isn't reflective of reality in the world world. And that's why when you go online, the temperature online is much different than the temperature in the real world, right? And, and it's, it's noticeable. Like you can notice it, you could see it.

[DJ Cruise]

Right?

[Andy Purcella]

And people are, because they can now see that. And they things like, you know, when the Twitter files came out and they basically admitted that they were doing this, now people have begun to disengage and they're. And I actually really like this that this is happening because businesses are going to have to adapt to running in real life. And most of these businesses that exist right now built their businesses completely on social media. Not understand like we're, dude, they had two skills. One, they could post some that people liked, and two, they understand how to run targeted ads. The days of those people winning are over. They're over. You might be able to generate some cash flow, but like, this is going to decline, decline, decline, decline, decline. And the companies that actually know how to build connection and culture and community and do things the analog way to build their companies are going to win. And I'm excited about that because that's where I cut my teeth in business was before was pre social media. So I know those skill sets very well and I actually had to adapt those skills to social media. And now they're going back to the, the other way and Transferring those skills to social media is much easier than transferring the social media skills back to reality. Because, dude, when you think about like how to run a company, okay, if you get a lot of these experts that have these massive brands on how to run a company, they don't really talk about how to run a company. They're talking about how to create a product, how to create a funnel and how to sell it online. There's all kinds of other things that go into actually operating a company. Okay. They don't know how to manage teams, they don't know how to have conversations, they don't know how to sell to people. They don't know really why people buy. Because the ad platform forums are helping them figure it out. Yeah, they don't, they, there's all kinds of things that they do. Yeah, yeah, they don't know. So there's going to be this mass decline of these ecom type brands and analog brands are going to start winning like big time again. And I like that. I think that's good for me personally, but I also think it's good for the world.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

You know, so like, dude, just some evidence like one of the mo, like there's a data point out there that shows that like the kids between 14 and 16 are choosing Flip phones over smartphones. Okay. Why are they doing that? Because those young kids understand that social media is okay. It's only the ages between like 25 and 45 that have been in it for the last 20 years that still think that that's all there is, everything. Right.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. So like all these Internet celebrities.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. And the only way that these social media platforms are going to survive is by legitimately eliminating the bots. But that's, that's a pain point that they don't want, they don't want to rip that band aid off because then it's going to demoralize a lot of their big influencers because their traffic is going to go to nothing.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, and they'll lose a lot of money because I'm sure the advertisers who buy money for, you know, oh, you got 8 billion people on your platform. Let me fucking. Yeah, of course they're going to, you know.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. It fucks their whole model.

[DJ Cruise]

Entire model.

[Andy Purcella]

So. But they're going to be fucked anyway. So they're better off ripping the band aid off, eliminating the bots and running the business, taking two steps back to keep. Continue to run as opposed to like continue to play this shell game.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

And it used to be like, okay, this guy you could tell, like, people were buying likes and follows and shares and all this. Right. You could see that. But here's the thing. Now there's so many bots now that no matter who you are, no matter what you post, you're going to have bot traffic on your post.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

So just because someone has bought traffic on their post does not mean that they're buying those things.

[DJ Cruise]

Right.

[Andy Purcella]

It's just the majority, 60 of the Internet is bots now. Okay? So now they've. They got themselves kind of in a corner that is going to be difficult for them to get out of, especially once the culture completely changes to back to analog. I mean, dude, look how many people are opting out of wanting to live in urban environments. Look how many people are wanting to, like, move to small towns and live a simple life and, you know, get out of this social media. I mean, dude, people are posting less. They're. They're.

[DJ Cruise]

I'm seeing so many more black people in my area. Like, I get it. Like, there's so many more blacks moving in my area. I can't stand it.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay, well, my point is, is that we're. We are running into a culture. The cultural shift is already happening and I think it's too late for them to fix it, you know, but this is how they've cultivated cultural narratives.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

And. And dude, the thing, the thing, the thing to really. Okay, like, for example, this is the thing that is to really think about. Think about all the kids that were not alive during 9 11. Okay. And then think how bad the video quality was during 9 11. Like in that, like back then. I mean, it was awesome because hd. Yeah, bro, we were like, holy, look at this. But like now, compared to that, I mean, it's, it's not, it's not comparable. Right? So how easy, how easy is it to make historical videos that are completely fabricated in order to curb the history of what people think is reality or not, because they weren't alive during that phase.

[DJ Cruise]

No way to verify.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay? So, like, a lot of people argue that the Holocaust was manufactured. And there's all kinds of people that say that. Okay? I'm not saying it was or wasn't. I'm saying there's a lot of people. That's a very popular belief that is held.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

If you could do that with history books After 50 Years, How Fast could you do that with videos after 15 years?

[DJ Cruise]

Instantly.

[Andy Purcella]

Right.

[DJ Cruise]

It's instant.

[Andy Purcella]

So. So, like, dude, we're in a situation where unless people completely unplug and just live their Lives. You can't trust anything that's on the Internet unless it's coming from someone who's been on the Internet the entire time. Because you don't even know if that's a real person. Like half of these influencers that we see online, I've never met them before. I don't even know if they're real.

[DJ Cruise]

Right?

[Andy Purcella]

I don't even know if they're real people.

[DJ Cruise]

It's. It's scary, dude. It's scary. But that's another. That's another W on the scoreboard, I guess. I saw this was kind of interesting, the conspiracy chart. So it's like, what, out of all of these conspiracies, which ones are real, right? Things that actually happened. MK Ultra, right? Yeah, yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Here, look. This is the point I'm making here.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay, you got right here on this fucking chart, things that actually happen. MK Ultra, Operation Paperclip, The Tuskegee Experiment, Project Mockingbird. FBI spying on mlk, Watergate. All right, cool. Now go to the top. Ok. George Floyd, crisis actor, Pizzagate, Nazis on the moon. Cultural Marxism. These are all products of the things that they say are real.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right.

[Andy Purcella]

That's the point. Okay? Do you think they're gonna come out and say, oh yeah, by the way, we're using these things that you know are real to create these things that we're gonna.

[DJ Cruise]

Like, that's right.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. Like, bro, that chart is just total propaganda by looking at it, you know,

[DJ Cruise]

like Ivermectin cures, covet. That's dangerous to yourself and others.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, clearly. Because Ivermectin has no fucking side effects, basically. And it's cheap and it actually cures a lot of shit. So it's, you know, there's a lot of danger there. You know, the unequivocally false, but mostly harmless, you know, Tupac is in Serbia, Ted Cruz is the Zodiac killer. Elvis lives. Right.

[DJ Cruise]

Stevie Wonder isn't blind.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. You know, we have. Living in reality, we live in a simulation. So that's more real than the COVID vaccine having microchips or nano fucking chips.

[DJ Cruise]

Right?

[Andy Purcella]

Okay, so you're telling me presidential election

[DJ Cruise]

being stolen, where's that? Right here. Reality denial.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, but see, and, and two years ago that would have been in the top. And that's how. What?

[DJ Cruise]

Jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams?

[Andy Purcella]

Jetfield doesn't melt steel Beans say that

[DJ Cruise]

that's dangerous to yourself, Andy. You're being dangerous.

[Andy Purcella]

Unequivocally detached from reality. Right? Like anti Semitic, point of no return.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, that's the big one.

[Andy Purcella]

Oh, my God. So all of these things, if you believe them, are anti Semitic?

[DJ Cruise]

Yep. Like, if you believe Hollywood's turning your kids gay, that.

[Andy Purcella]

That's.

[DJ Cruise]

Why would that be anti Semitic?

[Andy Purcella]

Exactly.

[DJ Cruise]

Why?

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Okay. I haven't heard that one. I don't know what that one is. Bill Gates to population. Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Flat Earth is anti Semitic. Deep State is anti Semitic. Why is Deep State anti Semitic?

[DJ Cruise]

Why is that anti Semitic? That's a great question.

[Andy Purcella]

Why don't you explain that one to us?

[DJ Cruise]

The great replacement. Yeah, yeah, for sure.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, the great replacement that we can all fucking see with our own motherfucking eyes. Happening.

[Guest or Contributor]

George Soros.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. You can't even say. Can't say his name. That's anti Semitic.

[Andy Purcella]

Is he on there?

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, right in the middle.

[Andy Purcella]

Down the middle. Oh, God. Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

So basically, that's all the. That's actually happening.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right. Yeah, that's right. That's right. Good job, Abby Richards.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah,

[DJ Cruise]

bro.

[Andy Purcella]

Bro. We get that person on the show. Explain this chart to us.

[DJ Cruise]

Explain. Walk us through this. Yeah, walk us through this one.

[Andy Purcella]

How the Is George Soros anti Semitic?

[DJ Cruise]

Can't even say it. Can't say.

[Andy Purcella]

Sounds to me like that as long as you have a percentage of Jewish in your blood, you can say anything's anti Semitic and excuse whatever you're doing.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right. That's right. So, you know, with that being said,

[Andy Purcella]

and what does that create?

[DJ Cruise]

Shabbat shalom.

[Andy Purcella]

Hold on. What does that create? That creates more. That's right.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. But I am going to now recognize and identify as Jewish as a black Jewish man.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. All right. Well, you know, all Jews are black. Ask Kanye.

[DJ Cruise]

Shabbat. Shabbat salon, how you have this. Shabbat Shalom.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, dude. So it's weird, man.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, it's crazy.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. And the more you call anti Semitic that clearly isn't anti Semitic, the more. More anti Semitism you actually create y guys, which makes you think that they must want to create that they want more of it. Yeah, they do, bro, because they want people to actually hate Jewish people.

[DJ Cruise]

But why?

[Andy Purcella]

So they can bust in all these humanitarian regulations, right? Like surveillance.

[DJ Cruise]

Even, say, the nword right now.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

So, I mean, moving towards it. That's right.

[Guest or Contributor]

I feel like it's the same thing as telling a kid, hey, don't touch that outlet. And if you keep telling that all the time, the kid's gonna eventually go touch it. Yeah, the same thing. They're saying, like, this is the act to stop Jewish Hate when nobody's asking for it.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[Guest or Contributor]

And you're putting them into their minds.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, right, Exactly. Exactly, dude.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, man. Guys jumping on this conversation though. Let us know down in the comments.

[Andy Purcella]

Hold on. Getting back to the point of what we were saying is that you always have to ask who benefits? Okay, who benefits and why? All right, so when we talk about bots on the Internet, does it benefit the platforms to have bots or not? Yes, it does. Does it benefit the government to allow those bots to continue?

[Guest or Contributor]

Yes.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay, does it benefit the government to allow AI to, to exist in our world in terms of making videos that appear real, that are not real? Does it benefit them?

[Guest or Contributor]

Yes.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay, so like, but people are getting smart and they're figuring it out and like, dude, the best thing that could happen here is that people fucking leave and they join other tech platforms that are bot free and actually have communities with real people if they want that in their life. Right. I don't think that people are totally disenfranchised with the idea of social media. I think they're totally disenfranchised with the idea of social media being complete.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yes.

[Andy Purcella]

And that every time they open their phone, they spend two hours watching clickbait. That sucks the life out of them. I think people are tired of that.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

You know, back in the day, when you use social media, you didn't sit on there for nine hours. You got on, you made a little post, you fucking looked at other. You got the fuck off and you lived your life. And because of greed and because of the want of bigger and more and more money and all these things, they operated under an idea of, okay, well, how can we get people to live their lives on social media? Remember the meta world? Remember the digital world with the glasses? Yeah, the metaverse. How'd that go over?

[DJ Cruise]

That's right.

[Andy Purcella]

Oh, yeah, it went over just like I said it would. Because people want real connection. They want to talk to people in real life. And we're seeing this, bro. We're seeing people get rid of their cell phones and put a landline phone in their house again.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yes. It's trending.

[Andy Purcella]

Yes, yes. You know, dude, the cell phone enslaves you, bro. Like, like think, okay, let's just take the idea of a regular employee or an entrepreneur in 20, 26 versus in night in 1999. In 1999, the year I started our companies, you, when I locked that door, you're done. The business was over for the day. Okay? Now I went and worked other jobs so I could build that business. But if you were an employee and you locked the door the rest of the afternoon, the rest of the day was at your discretion, that's not the case anymore. And I don't care what company you work for and I don't care what you talk about boundaries and all this shit. It is expected of employees to be on call all the time. And that's not just. That's everywhere. That's every company. You're expected to text back, you're expected to email back. What does that do to the quality of life for everybody? Okay. And that the reason that is is because the business owners understand that they're operating on a 24 hour timeline, as opposed to a 9 to 5 timeline that would have happened earlier. Right. Like back in the earlier days of our business, it would be like, okay, yeah, me and Chris and Jason, we might be on the phone. Sal, we might be on the phone after work on a little call and we'd be like, okay, well here's the plan, blah, blah, blah, we'll address it tomorrow. All right. Now, because has to move so fast. It's like, okay, well let's loop this guy in and let's loop that in and let's do this. And dude, nobody wants that. Nobody wants that. But that's the requirement to be competitive because of the environment. That's been unlocked.

[Guest or Contributor]

If you don't do it, somebody else will.

[Andy Purcella]

That's right. That's right, dude. And that's a, that's when you talk about like, you know, really enslaving people.

[DJ Cruise]

Just, just ain't whips and chains no more.

[Andy Purcella]

That's exactly. And then, by the way, we take half their money.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, right.

[Andy Purcella]

Half their money that they earn from this job and then we send it over to other countries. Okay. And don't spend it on our own country. Oh, and then, by the way, the, that they do have their house, their cash, their savings, we print trillions of dollars on the backside, which devalues the work that they actually did. So we don't live in a free society of any sort at all. And people who think that we do, you just don't understand what's actually happened. You're not, your eyes are not open.

[DJ Cruise]

But here's some AI slop.

[Andy Purcella]

I'm not going to say they're stupid.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Because their assumption should be that we live in a free country. That's. That's a reasonable thing. We've been told that our whole lives. But, but that's not reality, man. We don't live in A free society anymore. We already don't. We are surveilled everywhere we go. Okay, well, the flock cameras are new. No, dude, they're not new. They've had license plate readers for 20 years. If you have the right certification for, you know, intelligence company, I could know exactly where the you are right now. I can know where your car is right now.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

I could plug in your plate into a network, and it could tell me you're at work at this address. You're there right now. Okay. Do you think that on the cell phone that they haven't been listening to us for 25 years? This is what Edward Snowden got kicked out of the country for. He was telling us that. So, like, dude, this idea that we live in, in freedom is not true. And the only way to fix it is to completely unplug from these systems that are part of this problem. Not all systems are a part of it. Okay? But most of them are. And then the other way that we. We got to have a true political revolution in this country. A true political. I'm not saying violent. A political mandate from the people. And if it takes violence, that's what it takes. But at the end of the day, it has to be a complete revolution. These people who are in power, they are no longer even thinking about you and I. They're not even thinking about us. Everything they think, every decision they make is about who's paid me money and who do I have to appease with this vote so that I can get reelected the next time, so I can continue to be part of this system that gives me the insider knowledge to make money for myself and my family. And they're willing to enslave the rest of us under the guise that they represent us and do just enough to make it seem as if they are working for us so that we will continue to participate in the system. And people are waking up to that, bro. They're just waking up to it. And there's. There's big disruption in social disorder, rightfully so, on the way. I mean, that's the reality. I mean, dude, we're getting to the point now where these people legitimately, truly believe that they are untouchable. They're untouchable, okay? We have judges across the country releasing violent offenders over and over and over and over again to recommit violent felonies, ok? We have people in the government who will literally come out on television the night before they vote and say, I don't stand for this and this and this and this. And then the next day go in and vote for exactly that. They don't care anymore. They're not afraid. They're not worried. And I think that's a delusional position for them to take. Because when things get bad enough, history shows that people rise up and take shit back over. And I don't think we're that far away from that. Not just in America, but everywhere, I think. Everywhere. Everywhere in the west, for sure.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. It's real, man. Guys jumping on this, bro.

[Andy Purcella]

What's going to happen when 8 billion people, legitimately, what's going to happen? And I know everybody's going to say nothing. No, bro, nothing's happening because it's not bad enough yet. What's going to happen when, like, for example, Mandami said he's opening up all these grocery stores that's going to sell it 30% below retail cost, which is then going to put out of business all the legit stores. And because they can't operate efficiently, a government like, dude, you've been to the dmv, right?

[DJ Cruise]

Nothing government.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. Okay, so we all agree that things do not operate efficiently. What happens when the supply chain gets up and those grocery stores don't have any food after they've already put all the other ones out of business? People starve. Okay? So this comes down in history to the point of pain being the lack of ability to eat. Okay? Rich people are always going to be able to get food. Poor people are not. That's. That's what's coming. Okay? And when that happens and we reach a point where billions and billions and billions of people across Europe and the United States and the Western civilizations cannot actually get food? What do you think's going to happen when they realize that there's only like a hundred people on the planet that are causing this disruption? Okay. We all know what's going to happen.

[DJ Cruise]

Not good.

[Andy Purcella]

Well, no, it's great for us.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

But it's bad for them. And they continue. You know, the. The problem that we're going to have is that their technology has become so advanced that, like, for example, like, if you watch these videos, I follow this page on the Internet called Conflict observer, okay? And it's a page that basically shows videos coming out of Ukraine, Russia, conflict, mostly all conflicts, but mostly that, bro, have you seen the drones? Have you seen what they do with these drones? Okay? These drone, like, you guys, like, you know, those little drones you buy off Amazon, the Havoc drones, okay? Or the.

[DJ Cruise]

The eyes.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, these drones are filled with explosives, dude. Okay? So they're flying these drones. They're finding the soldiers and driving the drone just right into the soldier and blowing them up. And this is what we're going to have to deal with. And so, like, you know, I think if you're like a defense company for a civilian defense company, I think one of the things that you should be thinking about is how do you create a personal use EMP that allows you. I mean, do we're talking Terminator shit now? Yeah, we're talking Terminator shit.

[Guest or Contributor]

I saw a post yesterday that we are currently living in a mix of three movies. One's Terminator.

[Andy Purcella]

Matrix.

[Guest or Contributor]

Matrix. And one's. What's that movie where everybody goes dumb?

[Andy Purcella]

Idiocracy.

[Guest or Contributor]

Idiocracy. So those three movies, like a weird mix of those three movies.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, dude. So, like, I agree with that. So. And that's not conspiracy, bro. Like, that is happening right now. Like, we are in a very. Like, bro. You have people like, there was this. Dude, there's been a number of these guys. You had Elon Musk on TV saying that there was a 10 chance that AI AI would kill everybody, right? But then you have guys from the inside of these AI companies now coming out, and one of them just came out on. On Diary of a CEO with Stephen Bartlett and told Stephen that he thinks there's like a 70 chance that the humans are going to get exterminated. And how the couldn't they. Okay, let me explain. So let's talk about this, all right? You're the elite, all right? You have all the money, all the technology, and now you're creating these autonomous AI robots at scale. And you have this problem in the world of poor people, okay? And the poor people at any given time can rise up and kill you and take all your.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

So who would you rather if you were them? Would you rather have billions of poor people that you got to worry about how to feed and how to have jobs and how to have this and that, or would you rather just kill them with their technology and say it? Okay. And that should scare the out of everybody, bro. Listen, dude. Because the most obvious answer is usually the answer. And if you're one of these people that is in that position, what. What do you have from this situation that benefits you more? Like, what benefits you more? What benefits you more? Not having billions of people that like, dude, you know, like, people say, well, they're not worried about our jobs. No. Because they're going to kill everybody. They. They don't. They're not worried about that. You see?

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

And that's what we're walking into. And people are like, oh, man, you know, I can make cat drawings on chat. GPT. Look at my cat with a machine gun. Like, it's like, dude, we are running full speed, just like we talked about earlier in the show with these people that are LGBT, whatever, advocating for their own demise by calling for the. The Muslim that, you know, not Muslim, but the. The extremist Islamist. We have. We have a ton of people that are like, just running into this because it's neat and it's cool and they're not thinking of the outcome. And then like, bro, who the fuck. Granted. And by the way, I like Elon Musk. I think Elon Musk. I like Elon Musk. He's a fucking guy. I like. Okay, but like, who granted these guys the ability to play God over the entire rest of the human race? Okay, the Peter Thiels, Sam Altmans, the.

[Guest or Contributor]

The.

[Andy Purcella]

These people, the guys in China, all these people. Larry Page, dude, Right?

[Guest or Contributor]

He is. He sounds psychotic, bro. If you hear him talking on stage,

[Andy Purcella]

bro, did you hear Peter Thiel, like, hesitate when they said, you do think that the human race. They said something like, you do think that the human race deserves to exist? And he, like, there was like, hesitated. 15 second pause, okay? Like, dude, we're walking into our own extinction. And the only way to not have it happen is to completely reject it, to completely walk away from it.

[Guest or Contributor]

There was a video I saw yesterday of Larry Page talking about, we currently have about 6 billion people out of the 8 billion under surveillance. We have only 2 billion to go. Yeah, yeah, that's his attitude.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, exactly. And so what gives you the right

[Guest or Contributor]

to fucking surveil everybody?

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, and, dude, that's what's going to happen, bro. Collectively. And I think this is going to happen sooner than later because everything moves much faster now. Collectively, people are awakening to what's happening. And it's not just the, you know, the conspiracy nut jobs. It's like the average people. Like, bro, I have conversations with average people. Like, dude, I got one of my buddies who owns a big company, dude, and he's kind of like, plugged in to his own shit. And he's starting to, like, message me and text me. He's like, did you see this? Like, what do you think of that? What do you. I'm like, yeah, man. Like, this is what I've been talking about for the last seven years. Okay? So, like, I'm not trying to be boohoo scare you, but, like, we should be Concerned. And we should understand that there is an agenda and we are not part of it as humans. We are not part of it. Oh, yeah, everybody, let's put a robot in everybody's house to help assist with the laundry. And then they press a button and the robots kill everybody who wants. Like, are we not even considering these things?

[Guest or Contributor]

You cannot rule that out.

[DJ Cruise]

Shit's wild, man.

[Andy Purcella]

I know, dude, I know. It's. Listen, dude, it is. It is legitimately dystopian, like, where we're at and, like, you know, there's not going to come. People don't understand this either. You know, there's not going to come this time in history where there's an announcement on TV that says, oh, the world has collapsed. Right. There's not going to be an announcement that says, oh, the. The. The world has completely went dystopian. Like, by the way, today's the day.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right.

[Andy Purcella]

Like, that's not how that's going to happen. You're going to walk down the street and you're going to see homeless people and starving people and people fucking trying to survive. You're going to see high crime. You're going to see more technology. You're going to see surveillance.

[Guest or Contributor]

When you were legit describing the opening

[Andy Purcella]

of the movie iRobot, bro, it's already happened. That's my point. This has already happened. We're sitting here discussing what's going to happen when the framework of that already exists.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

You know, like, oh, you think they're gonna, like, just ring an alarm, be like, hey, guess what, guys? A dystopia time.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. You know, like, we're in.

[DJ Cruise]

It was that quote. It's like, you know, you go day by day, nothing seems to change, and you look back and everything's changed. Like, that's gonna be it.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, Well, I mean, and we're.

[DJ Cruise]

We're there now. We're looking.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. But part of the awakening of people comes from their realization of that change, Right?

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

And what's the biggest trend in culture right now? Now the biggest trend in culture right now is the 90s. The simple life before the Internet. Okay? So right now it's. It's like a thing that's, like, fashionable. Okay. But beyond that, the next step is going to be, wait, we're never going back to that. And people are going to start awakening. Right. Like, people are understanding what's happening, dude. They just haven't connected it yet. And we're not that far away from that connection happening. And when 8 billion people realize that there's 100 or 200 people that are ruining the fucking earth. It's going to be chaotic talking about

[DJ Cruise]

the largest rubber band snap ever.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, that's right. It's going to happen too, dude. It's going to happen.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. Guys jumping on this conversation. So down in the comments, what you guys think with that being Trump had an.

[Andy Purcella]

Trump had an opportunity to fix it. He chose otherwise. That's the truth.

[DJ Cruise]

What it looks like. Yeah, let's keep cruising. We got a third and final headline, guys. Headline number three. Speaking of going back to times and how the community and the world are calling for it, begging for it. When you up sometimes there is no comeback Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Fails Messino steps down after woke rebrand sparked backlash from customers and even Trump. So she's officially out. Fracker Barrel CEO Julie Fails Messino is stepping down after the failure of her woke rebrand last year, which was rolled back following intense backlash from loyal customers, the company announced Monday.

[Andy Purcella]

This is the same lady that got on there and said everybody loved it.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right, everybody loved it.

[Andy Purcella]

I remember we covered this.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, everybody loved it. We loved it. David Dino, a restaurant exec who most recently served as CEO of Blooming Brands, which owns Outback Steakhouse, will replace Massino on Aug. 10, according to a Cracker Barrel press release. Her departure comes after less than three years at the helm, during which diners revolted against the company's attempt to modernize the Southern dining chain last August by axing its most its beloved mascot Uncle Herschel and revamping restaurants without its trademark. The is that?

[Guest or Contributor]

I don't know.

[DJ Cruise]

The fuck is that?

[Andy Purcella]

I don't know.

[DJ Cruise]

I don't know.

[Andy Purcella]

It's one of them smart liberal words.

[DJ Cruise]

Okay, yeah, they tried to get me.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, I know.

[DJ Cruise]

You see that shit. Yeah. The fuck is that, bro? The company has never indicated a search was underway. Very surprising giving the series of positive announcements that the company had early last week, Brooke said. Michael Gunther, senior vice president of research at Consumer Edge, said Cracker Barrel had started narrowing losses in June, quote but it's not as if sales momentum started surging. We will be watching to see what new management communicated about its strategy, particularly as it relates to its core customers. Gunther told the Post the company is way over indexed in the 65 year old and up crowd and those customers stayed away. So just to refresh everybody's memory, this is what the former CEO had to say back in August.

[Guest or Contributor]

Honestly, the feedback's been overwhelmingly positive that people like what we're doing. I'll give you another sound bite. I actually happened to be in Orlando last week with all of our managers. We bring them together once every other year. And the number one question that I got asked, Michael was, how can I get a remodel? When can I get a remodel? How do I get on the list?

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, really?

[Guest or Contributor]

So, because the feedback and the buzz is so good, not only from our customers, but from our team members. They want to work, in a way, wonderful restaurant. So we're doing everything for our guests and our team members.

[DJ Cruise]

We're Julie Messino.

[Andy Purcella]

It's wonderful to have you here.

[Guest or Contributor]

Thank you for asking.

[DJ Cruise]

Answering those questions.

[Andy Purcella]

For all the Cracker Barrel fans out

[DJ Cruise]

there, there's a lot of. A lot of great changes.

[Guest or Contributor]

Thank you so much.

[Andy Purcella]

All right. Typical Robin. Can I get shitty ass CEO communicating in sound bites. She even says it, I'll give you another sound bite.

[DJ Cruise]

What's that swallow thing she did?

[Andy Purcella]

I don't know, dude, why do these. These people all look the same? Okay? They. They all look the same.

[Guest or Contributor]

They.

[Andy Purcella]

They look. There's one of two, like, character types for these people. One, the anime type with the green hair and the anime haircut.

[DJ Cruise]

Okay.

[Andy Purcella]

And then the. The next with these thick ass

[DJ Cruise]

telescopes.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, bro. And like trying to like, listen, lady, I don't know, where'd she go to school?

[DJ Cruise]

Miami.

[Andy Purcella]

Oh, she did, okay. She went to Miami. College educated, never built, worked their way up the ladder. Has no idea what it takes to build something or how to, you know, create culture or build anything. Trying to, you know, woke the. The brand that they're in. Thinking like, dude, they're just out of touch people.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. You have no culture. You can't build culture.

[Andy Purcella]

If you want to go to see what cracker. But what people in Cracker Barrel want, go to Kentucky, go to Tennessee, go to Southern Illinois, go to, go to Missouri. Not Miami. Knowing Cracker. Don't give a about Cracker Barrel Miami. You know what I'm saying? Like, go talk to the customers, dude.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Like, these people are like, bro, do you know how many hours a week I spend in gas stations right now just talking to customers, Okay? I stand two aisles away from our fucking coolers and I watch people. And when they buy our. I go around and I sneak around and I say, hey, why'd you buy that? Okay? What, dude? And they tell me, and then I'll go out and I'll buy them the can, okay? Then I'll go right back, all right? And I watch again. And then when People pick other. I'll say, why'd you buy that? Okay. I can't even tell you how many hours a week I do that. It's, it's every other day, just about.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Anytime you see me in Wallies where I'm like straight in the cans, I've either done my conversations or I'm about to okay, this lady. And all these woke stupid executives, they. They're too good to do that. They're too good to go out. She doesn't want to go talk to regular Americans. She doesn't want to talk to salt of the earth people. That's right. She's better than them.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay.

[DJ Cruise]

Yes, she is.

[Andy Purcella]

And so it's no fucking. I called this when we covered it the first time, that she would get fucking fired for this.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yeah. And here we've said this over and over. The people who didn't start the brand and it goes to second, third generation, the values and the dedication gets deluded.

[Andy Purcella]

They don't get it, bro, because they didn't build it.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yes.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay. There is a difference between looking at your company on a balance sheet and actually talking to your customers. There's a difference between actually looking at the company as a company that serves customers versus a company that serves a dollar amount to a venture capital firm. It's a completely different mentality. Okay? And all of these Ivy League executives, they think they know everything and they don't know. And this is confirmation to all of you small business owners, and I'm going to tell you this directly. You people who are out there and you're running a power washing company and you've got 10 trucks and you know you're running a retail operation. You've got three stores or you've got four restaurants, you are 1,000% better than any of these Wall Street, 100%. You're not even close to. So when you doubt your own abilities, you have to understand that by going from nothing to something to another one to another one, you have learned the fucking essence of business that these people will never understand.

[Guest or Contributor]

That's right.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay? So when we talk about second generation, third generation venture capital firms, you know, conglomerates buying up. Dude, look, man, these people don't know because they didn't build it. They don't understand the conversations. They don't understand when the company goes from serving the customer to produce a result, whether that be your dry cleaning, whether that be getting in shape, whether that be in a wonderful meal, anything, anything. When it goes from that to this is an asset in our portfolio. That has to perform. That's when the shit's over. It's over. Yeah, it's over. It's just a matter of time. There are very few people in corporate America that know how to run a motherfucking brand. They just don't. They know how to fucking plug a spreadsheet and say this and that and this. Now I'm going to say that with a caveat when I say very few, the ones who are good at it are really good at it.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right. That's right.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right.

[Andy Purcella]

Like the friend, the people I'm partnering with, like the guys at the top of the chain, those guys are fucking smart, okay? But also look at the company that I'm partnering with, Anheuser Busch, okay? Yeah, they made some public mistakes over the last whatever years, right? But the reality is, is that's a hundred. It's one of the oldest companies in

[DJ Cruise]

America and they appreciate that and respect,

[Andy Purcella]

dude, it's a huge deal. Their tradition, their fucking, their values. That is something that has remained the same over 150 years, okay? Over 150 years, people are going to do things that customers don't like.

[DJ Cruise]

I have some fun, okay?

[Andy Purcella]

Over three years you're going to do that, okay? You're going to learn these lessons. But the point of the matter is that when you take a second generation or a VC or this or that and you plug them into a successful model, that person generally has never had a single conversation with an actual customer of that brand. That second generation kid. Now, now second generation business owners come in one of two kinds, okay? They either are the entitled rich kid who gets in there and tries to, like, pretend they're an entrepreneur. Yes, okay? Or they go in there with the right attitude because not everybody can help where they're born. Some people are born into great companies, okay? If you want to honor that company and the people, your father or your mother or your aunt, whoever the fuck built it, you say, okay, I'm a steward of this brand and my job is to make sure that I take it from here to there, okay? And then that person becomes a tremendous operator. All right? There are some awesome second generation operators. There are very, very, very few, Very few thirds, very few thirds, okay? But it's all about the attitude that you have. Is your attitude to step into a role and milk something that's already been built, or is your attitude to step into a role and honor the people that founded it by growing it to be what it was supposed to be in the first place. So it's. But, yeah, dude, like, people, this woman, her, she does not belong in a CEO role.

[DJ Cruise]

I'd fire her for that headshot.

[Andy Purcella]

I'd fire her because she. She's not equipped to win. Okay? Like, dude, that person is an advisor. That person is potentially an A coo. Okay? Meaning, like, I tell her what to do and she goes and does it. That's not a CEO, okay?

[DJ Cruise]

Not a visionary.

[Andy Purcella]

And people. People get in that CEO role not understanding that they don't have the skills they think they have. Just because you got a CEO title doesn't mean you're an actual CEO.

[Guest or Contributor]

That ties back to what you said just after the 60, 60 seconds of liberal insanity that happens to intelligent people too. They're so certain about what they know, and they're completely unaware that there might be something that they don't know.

[Andy Purcella]

I would argue that it happens to intelligent people more because they are very

[Guest or Contributor]

certain about how I learned this.

[Andy Purcella]

Listen, listen. I got A's in high school.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

I graduated valedictorian. I went. I got an Ivy League scholarship. I went here. I won there. I did this. Not realizing that that entire process involves following a list of things that you're told to do. A true CEO does not follow the rules.

[DJ Cruise]

They tried that, didn't you?

[Andy Purcella]

No, they. They look at the whole picture.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

And they say, okay, here's the environment that I'm operating in, here's what I'm trying to do, and here's how I have to create a system that operates in that environment to create that outcome. And they don't think in terms of, like, rules. Like, I don't think of, like.

[DJ Cruise]

Well, it's never been done before.

[Andy Purcella]

No.

[DJ Cruise]

Good. Good.

[Andy Purcella]

That's a fucking opportunity.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right.

[Andy Purcella]

Right.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right.

[Andy Purcella]

That's not how these people think. And the reason they don't think that is because they're bound by the mentality of operating under rules. So they don't take risks. They don't do things that they believe in their heart because they think that it's supposed to be done. Because they're afraid now, well, I'll just be fired if I don't do this right. We're a founder, CEO. You can't fire them.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right.

[Andy Purcella]

You know what I'm saying?

[Guest or Contributor]

That's also ties back to what.

[Andy Purcella]

This is why so many CEOs of. Of startups are like literal C and D students. Because they couldn't follow directions in school. You know why I couldn't follow directions in School, real talk. It wasn't because I was stupid, dude. Is because I couldn't see the point in what they were telling me what to do.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yes.

[Andy Purcella]

I could never understand. I'm like, why do I have to learn this? I'm not going to fucking do this. This is not what I'm going to do. I don't fucking give a shit about this. I care about this. And then when they would talk about the things I care about, I do really well, okay? That's typical CEO mentality in academia, all right? They're not the fucking A players. The A players end up being great. When I say A players, I mean get an A grade. Right? Those people become great operational assets entrepreneurs. Right? Yeah, They're. They. They can own it. They can have executive positions because they're good at executing.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yes.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay? But the CEO, the visionary, the founders, these are the fucking guys that everybody thinks are.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yes.

[Andy Purcella]

For real.

[Guest or Contributor]

One of the major commonalities between all the entrepreneurs that I have personally observed is they. They do not go along with what the rules are. They don't want to follow the rules, and they don't accept what's given to them and they craft away. Like you said.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[Guest or Contributor]

See, the environment, this is the objective. I'm going to create a system that's going to interact with the environment and give me this outcome.

[Andy Purcella]

And not only that, bro, they understand that everybody else is following the rules and they understand that when you do what everybody else does, you fall into the fucking fray.

[DJ Cruise]

Get what everybody else gets.

[Andy Purcella]

Exactly.

[DJ Cruise]

It's real.

[Andy Purcella]

So, like, there's all. Dude, also, like, how you evaluate risk. Okay? Like, how she evaluates risk is if I don't do this. Like, this is her line of thinking. Okay? Her line of thinking. And I don't even know her. I'm gonna tell you what she thought. She thought, if we don't make Cracker Barrel with the Times and the Woke, then we're gonna fall out of favor. Okay? But she didn't have an actual cultural read. She didn't realize that people are craving that the best thing that Cracker Barrel could do would be go to more old school.

[Guest or Contributor]

More old school? Yes.

[Andy Purcella]

Not fucking less. Okay? So she thinks, because in her little echo chamber of academia, that everybody thinks this and she's not willing to go out and get an actual temperature of what's going on. She's evaluating risks. Such as? Well, if I don't make this this way, the company will go away. How entrepreneurs, true visionary entrepreneurs, evaluate risk is if I don't fucking do this thing, the company will go away. But it's not about, like, making it less, it's about making it more. Right?

[Guest or Contributor]

That's why, from a.

[Andy Purcella]

You want to fucking Cracker Barrel, you want to pay me $100 million a year, fucking hire me. I'll have your shit rocking and rolling, bro.

[Guest or Contributor]

That's why, from a consumer point of view, I was even questioning whatever she did. Was that even necessary?

[Andy Purcella]

No.

[DJ Cruise]

Nobody asked for it.

[Guest or Contributor]

Nobody asked for it.

[Andy Purcella]

There's not a single motherfucker on the face of the earth that walked into cr, bro, and said, I wish it was more like modern day.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Like, bro, they want to see. They want to see grandma in the. They. Dude, you want to make Cracker Barrel awesome? Take a big ass, open up the kitchen, put grandma's back there cooking the food, bro. Let him bring it out and say, hey, sweetie, you know, I got your country fried steak here. You know what I'm saying? Like, bro, make it more authentically country.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right. You. You guys got to go through the back door and eat.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Not that authentic.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, yeah. Why we cross the lines there.

[DJ Cruise]

That's right.

[Andy Purcella]

But like, bro, the point of the matter is, is that, like, dude, she's. She's so far off from what's going on because she lives in her little academic mindset and. And likely echo chamber for sure. You do you think that she has gotten in her car, which is probably a Mercedes, Okay. And driven up to a rural area and said. Knocked on doors and said, hey, have you been to Cracker Barrel? Yeah, I've been to Cracker Barrel. What do you like about it?

[DJ Cruise]

Right.

[Andy Purcella]

What do you want to see from Cracker Barrel? Do you think she did that? No, she didn't do it. One time.

[DJ Cruise]

She probably never even been in the Cracker.

[Andy Purcella]

She doesn't want to go out there because she's like, I don't want to go out there because it's those people.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yes, exactly. I was just going to say she probably requested Uber black, goes to Soho. And yes, that 25 cup of coffee, hangs out with some people, comes back,

[Andy Purcella]

hey, man, Soho's cool to visit too. I'm not knocking that, but I'm just saying, like, bro, if you want to operate in a certain environment, you got to know the environment that you're operating in, which clearly she does not.

[Guest or Contributor]

Definitely. There's a mismatch.

[DJ Cruise]

Read the room, lady.

[Andy Purcella]

Get yourself a pickup truck, drive around, talk to your customers. Dude, this is not hard. I could correct Cracker Barrel in a week. In a week.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, yeah, pay me.

[Guest or Contributor]

If they start doing that now, we'll know they listen.

[Andy Purcella]

Well, look what Pizza Hut did.

[Guest or Contributor]

Exactly.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay. I talked about Pizza Hut. They started doing it. It's crushing.

[DJ Cruise]

Killing it. They're bringing one here. You know that, right?

[Andy Purcella]

Good.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

But like, dude, you guys should be just hiring me as your consultant because I'll fix your. Which, by the way, I have a consulting company that we're getting ready to fire up. So any of you that have businesses that are interested in that kind of consulting, I will be doing that one on one. It's going to be expensive. Okay. But it's because I know what the fuck I'm doing.

[DJ Cruise]

Guys, jump in on this conversation. Let us know down in the comments what you guys think. We've reached our destination. Took some detours there.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, we did. Hey, man, I think these are good conversations about great, you know, what's going on. It's real. The days of corporate America are fucking over, dude. They're fucking over in the business world. They're over.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Guest or Contributor]

The biggest asset in what all you said was somebody would listen to it, try to like filter it and use it to their company, in their company, and they would make their company 10x because of just what you said in the last hour. If they have the aptitude to do

[Andy Purcella]

that, there's a lot of people that do, but they're usually founder class people.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yeah, exactly.

[Andy Purcella]

Like, dude, how do you. How do you take away the fat. The founder of Cracker Barrel. Okay, that guy was like an old man. All right. I forgot his name. How many country fried steaks you think that served personally? That's what I'm saying. How many biscuits and gravies did he walk out of the. Like, how many.

[Guest or Contributor]

That sounds Dan Evans.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. He's what, 80?

[Guest or Contributor]

I don't know if he's alive.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay, well, he's old. He's like old. But the point is that guy knows. Didn't they interview that guy and he said he hated it? Yeah, yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

No, yeah. He was still alive, I guess at the time of recording. Yeah. When we talked about.

[Andy Purcella]

Is he dead now?

[Guest or Contributor]

No, He's. He died 2012.

[Andy Purcella]

Oh, January. Anyway, the. The found.

[DJ Cruise]

That was just a customer. Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay, well, the founder guy. How many conversations did that guy have? Thousands.

[Guest or Contributor]

Thousands.

[Andy Purcella]

He understands what people want. These people do not.

[Guest or Contributor]

He was from Smithville, Tennessee.

[Andy Purcella]

Dude, you should go to East Tennessee and talk to people. Yeah, it's not hard. It's just they don't want to do it because they're Too good to do it.

[Guest or Contributor]

Exactly.

[DJ Cruise]

It's real, man. Guys, it is time for our final segment. As always, we have thumbs up. We're dumb as fuck. We're bring a headline in. We talk about it, we vote on it. We give it one of these two options. We got more bear news.

[Andy Purcella]

Oh, really? This one's not a bear fetish. Maybe that's okay, though. Bears, maybe. Yeah, I'm still convinced that. I'm still convinced that if I saw a bear in the woods that I'd make friends with them. Yeah, I'm one of them white people.

[Guest or Contributor]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

You're saying. Well, I mean, you'd be safer with a bear.

[Andy Purcella]

Look at their ears. Look at their face. You can't tell me they're angry. Look at them. Dude, I could. I could make a bear my friend.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

I made every answer. Every animal I've ever met, I made a friend.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, all of them. It's real.

[Andy Purcella]

Jesse's dog, well, that was an exception. But he only, like. He only didn't like me for, like a minute.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, that's right. That's right.

[Andy Purcella]

Five minutes later, we were buddies.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, he was cool. Cool. Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

I did think he was gonna get me, though. Dude, we pull up. We pull up the west coast shoppers, and there's this massive dog, bro, I forgot his name. And he's barking like this deep bark like. Like the. Like the dog off the sandlot, bro.

[DJ Cruise]

It's a classic dog. He belonged in a junkyard, you know?

[Andy Purcella]

He's standing right in front of the

[DJ Cruise]

truck like he was a Ridgeback. It was a. Yeah, just like Rhodesian wrist.

[Andy Purcella]

Just, like, looking at the truck like, I'm gonna kill the truck.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

I'm like, I got this.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, I got this. Let me get out the animal whisper.

[Andy Purcella]

I get out of the truck. He kind of walks over by me. I'm like, see, I got it.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah,

[Andy Purcella]

I got right back in the truck,

[DJ Cruise]

bro. That was nothing I could have done.

[Andy Purcella]

Oh, I got right back in, bro. He's a bad mood today.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, but. But bears, man. Bears. Back in. Now, this one's not shocking. This one's not shocking. Thumbs up or dumb. As headline reads, black bear caught on video wandering into California Water district office after pushing open front door. He soon left after he realized that they were hiring and he did not want to work. A black bear wandered into a Southern California Water district office Wednesday after pushing open the front door briefly across, exploring the building before walking back into the surrounding forest. Surveillance video from the Crestline Village water district in San Bernardino Mountains captured the small black bear entering the office Wednesday afternoon as employees watched the unexpected encounter unfold. Let's check the clip. No audio, Bro. Y' all hiring? This ain't the welfare office.

[Guest or Contributor]

Hold on,

[DJ Cruise]

Bro. Like, what do you. What do you do? Like, why is this such a common thing out there?

[Andy Purcella]

He doesn't. He doesn't. He's not trying to cause any trouble. Checking it out, man.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, this ain't the hellcat dealership.

[Andy Purcella]

You don't want no trouble. He's just checking it out, man.

[DJ Cruise]

He's in and out, dog.

[Andy Purcella]

He said, who's got donuts? I smell donuts.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, you know they have birthday cake.

[Andy Purcella]

Okay.

[DJ Cruise]

For sure. That's what brought him in.

[Andy Purcella]

You got cake. It's Karen's birthday. Gonna have cake in the lunchroom.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, are you coming? I really should have.

[Andy Purcella]

You know, I've been on a diet.

[DJ Cruise]

Be naughty today. Yeah. Oh, you keep a secret? Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Happening at every corporate luxury today,

[DJ Cruise]

as

[Andy Purcella]

I heard there was a party.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Dude.

[DJ Cruise]

Dude, I've never experienced, like a super up close encounter like that with a wild animal that I. I don't think.

[Andy Purcella]

I'm not. I haven't. With a big one.

[DJ Cruise]

No. Yeah. Like, I mean, I've seen deer. Plenty of time up close. That's nothing, right? But like, I'm talking about like, something.

[Andy Purcella]

No. Something could kill you. Yeah, yeah. I mean, either.

[DJ Cruise]

No. And I don't know what I would do, to be honest.

[Andy Purcella]

Bro, I saw this clip the other day, bro. It was crazy. This dude was on a trail with his wife, I guess, and their dog, and this huge fucking grizzly bear was, like, walking the trail behind him.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, fuck.

[Andy Purcella]

And, bro, he's like.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, he tried to. Then he spray it or something to try.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, he had the spray. Yeah, but like, they tell you that you're supposed to, like, stand your ground, right? And not run. Yeah, but so he, like, faces it and, like, raises his arms, but he's walking backwards. And then all of a sudden he starts walking backwards faster and the bear starts going faster. Oh, I'm like, dude, this guy's gonna get.

[DJ Cruise]

But wasn't the wife in that the worst, though?

[Andy Purcella]

Yes.

[DJ Cruise]

Jerry.

[Andy Purcella]

Brian, get out of this.

[DJ Cruise]

Shut up. I'm trying to de. Escalate a bear right now.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, yeah, man. It was.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, man.

[Andy Purcella]

Bro, imagine a. I don't know how big they are. Thousand pound, massive ass bear, bro, thinking that it's. You know, I don't.

[DJ Cruise]

I wouldn't want to do that. I wouldn't. Like, like no, you'd be damned.

[Andy Purcella]

It would be hard to stand still and.

[DJ Cruise]

No, bro.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, but he started, like, moving backwards real fast. I'm like, you're running.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Said don't run.

[DJ Cruise]

It's gonna get you. Yeah, it's gonna get. Well, bro, I saw this other story they released.

[Andy Purcella]

They ended up. The bear ended up going away. But, like. Yeah, but it was.

[DJ Cruise]

I saw the story, like, this wild.

[Andy Purcella]

I bet he. His pants.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh. Guaranteed this wild. Like, mountain lion killed a woman hiker.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

And like. Like, other hikers were coming up and they found the remains, and they still. Like, the cougar was coming back to get him again. Like, it's. Yeah, I'm cool, bro.

[Andy Purcella]

Those mountain lions are dangerous. You know, they kill you. They disembowel you, so they, like, pounce up on you.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

And then their rear claws, like.

[DJ Cruise]

Oh, they just got you.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

Just. Just skin. Yeah, yeah, I'm cool.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. You seen the Reverend Reverend I haven't.

[DJ Cruise]

I've seen. There's a.

[Andy Purcella]

There's a bear attack in that movie where the bear attacks Leonardo DiCaprio. Oh, fuck. It's brutal.

[DJ Cruise]

I want nothing to do with it. That's why we stay at my ass out the woods.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah.

[DJ Cruise]

He is kind of cute, though. That's a cute little guy.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. You know that guy that I saw the video of? Like, he didn't have a. It didn't look like he had a gun. I'm not going in the woods. Like, I don't even go take a shower without a gun. Like, I'm not. Certainly not going in the woods without, like a. Like one of those smith and Wesson. Like,'50s.

[DJ Cruise]

Give me 10 mil. Yeah.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah. You know, like a Smith and Wesson snub nose. 50. Oh, I'm not doing it.

[DJ Cruise]

Yeah, I'm doing something. I'm not with it.

[Andy Purcella]

Oh, the conservation part. I don't care.

[DJ Cruise]

I don't give a. Conserve this. Yeah, I'm trying to conserve it.

[Andy Purcella]

Yeah, I'm trying to conserve my ass.
