Podcast: The Antihero Broadcast
Host: The Antihero Podcast
Episode: 01/02/2025: CASUAL FRIDAY
Date: January 3, 2026
Theme: The first “Casual Friday” live broadcast — an open, interactive show for veterans, first responders, and blue collar Americans, with real-time audience engagement. The team discusses military controversies, policing, community, current events, and the day-to-day challenges (technical and otherwise) of building a grassroots media platform.

---

Overview

The Antihero crew, led by Tyler, Mike, and Jimmy, launch their new “Casual Friday” live format. This episode is centered on relaxed, candid conversation, troubleshooting technical issues, and interacting with their live audience. The crew moves between humorous banter, serious debates about policing and military narratives, and relatable topics—like eating cold fries on air or facing unreliable internet as a small media outfit.

Primary topics:

• Misrepresentations in military storytelling (Operation Red Wings & Marcus Luttrell debate)
• Policing, law enforcement culture, and their own experiences
• Community engagement and challenges of grassroots broadcasting
• Current events: immigration, fraud, and social commentary
• Humor about technical difficulties, fast food, and gym-going
• Building and sustaining a meaningful veteran/first responder media community

---

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Opening, Purpose & Audience Engagement

• The hosts explain the new “Casual Friday” format as a way to interact directly with their core listeners—veterans, first responders, and blue-collar workers.
• Tyler shares multiple sponsor shoutouts (skipped here per instructions), and sets a casual, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, tone for the show.
• They bolster audience involvement via live chat, real-time shoutouts, and direct responses to comments.

---

2. Military Storytelling & Controversies

Operation Red Wings & Marcus Luttrell

• Jimmy introduces a serious conversation about the events in Operation Red Wings, notably the discrepancies between Marcus Luttrell’s recount in "Lone Survivor" and video evidence/Jimmy’s research.
• Quote:

  “It’s gut wrenching, dude... the way Mike Murphy is screaming for [Marcus], it hurts your soul. … I don’t want to throw shade at the dude, but at the same time, the book you wrote doesn’t line up with all the facts. It just doesn’t.” — Jimmy (06:50)

• The team debates the ethics and implications of challenging heroic narratives, especially given the emotions and trauma involved.
• Mike offers a law enforcement perspective on memory, chaos, and eyewitness reliability in battle:

  “Who’s to say he didn’t think there were 200 people? Bullets coming from everywhere ... I’d feel like there were 200 dudes too.” — Mike (10:19)

• They discuss the importance of evidence, the flaws of single-source reporting, and Jimmy’s intent to provide respectful but fact-based breakdowns of such stories.
• Consensus: It’s possible to honor service and pursue the truth about what happened.

---

3. Law Enforcement—Culture, Power, and Reform

• Spirited back-and-forth on the problems with entrenched law enforcement leadership, lack of accountability, and the “cult” mentality in police work.
  • Mike considers the idea of running for sheriff, critiquing current leadership for focusing on politics and self-interest over real community safety.

    “Somebody like me... who’s very straightforward and has the understanding that crime is what’s most important—I’d like to see someone like that take over an agency..." — Mike (60:11)

  • Jimmy questions the system itself, advocating for a more community-driven, even Old West-style, approach to justice.

    “We don’t need cops that are run by the city. ... Why don’t we have the communities police themselves?” — Jimmy (74:17)

Reality Checks for Cops Wanting Out

• The hosts acknowledge real obstacles for police trying to escape toxic agencies—financial pressures, family issues, loss of identity, and the unique “cult” of law enforcement.

  • Tyler:

    “They have to start now... If you worked anywhere else... it wouldn’t be this big dramatic thing. But because it’s law enforcement, it’s a job, it’s a cult.” — Tyler (68:06)

  • Jimmy:

    “A lot of their identity as a man is built up in being a cop or a soldier. ... They don’t want to be a podcaster; they want to be a gunfighter.” — Jimmy (72:02)

• Despite strong opinions, all agree that for real change, hard conversations and tangible steps are needed—personally and systemically.

---

4. Current Events & Social Commentary

Immigration and Fraud in Minnesota

• The team reacts to a viral video of the Minneapolis mayor with a Somali flag, discussing Somali immigration, employment enclaves, and fraud scandals (16:21).
  • Mike:

    “That mayor should be arrested... That is treasonous behavior to support the flag of another country.”

  • Jimmy recounts (“I found out how they ended up in Minnesota...”) the historical context of Somali work migration via a poultry plant in the 1990s and the growth of the community thereafter.

Internet, Technology & Small Media Business

• Much of the episode is peppered with struggles over video quality, camera issues (esp. with Jimmy), and debates over internet providers. The conversation is relatable to any small, underfunded grassroots group trying to run live media:

  • Jimmy:

    “Simplicity is always better when you’re dealing with technology. The more complex the system, the more things go wrong.” (27:16)

• Their attitude is transparent: work with what you have, laugh at setbacks, bring the audience into the process.

Humor & Casual Culture

• Running jokes about:
  • Sleeping/inebriation during deployments and bivouacs (04:06)
  • Cooling sheets and mattress toppers—"That’s more of a female thing" (03:53, Tyler).
  • Eating on air (Jimmy’s fast food), the gym/fitness culture (“working out for vanity!”), and competing about who has the skinnier legs.
  • “Potato Cam” issues—embracing their technical struggles with self-deprecation and memes (“We definitely need a potato shirt... like Minecraft!” (37:05))
• Notable quote:
  • This captures the show’s ethos:

    “At least we could be entertaining for you guys.” — Tyler (26:10)

---

5. Faith, Motivation & Community

• At the audience’s request, they read and discuss Psalm 37:4 as Verse of the Day (46:14).

  • Jimmy:

    “David talks about war and fighting all the time. If you want to read some good stuff that’s about combat, check out David.” (47:14)

  • Debates about whether “salty language” offends God—consensus: intent matters more than words.

• Several heartfelt moments:

  • The hosts share struggles—Jimmy’s job loss, financial hardship, and journey back to fitness.
  • Audience members encourage Jimmy, discuss their own challenges, and joke about being a community (even through adversity).

    “Take it low and take and slow, Jimmy, you keep going.” — Audience (88:34)

---

6. Calls to (Imperfect) Action & Growth

• Discussion on escaping bad employment situations, self-improvement, and accountability—whether it's leaving a bad PD, running for office, or just getting back in the gym after a hard period.
• The team plans to increase their schedule, improve technical execution, and deepen audience engagement via a new Facebook group and expanding the Patreon community.
• They close with a recap and plans for more regular content, more guest features, and ongoing real-world conversations—serious, humorous, and always transparent.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Debate over military narratives:

  “I’m not the guy who wants to throw shade at Marcus [Luttrell]. … But the book … doesn’t line up with all the facts.” — Jimmy (06:50)

• On policing and power:

  “Every administration, unless you have the best of the best, the goal isn’t the community. It’s politics.” — Mike (61:11)

• Grassroots challenges:

  “We have tens of thousands of dollars of equipment in the studio. We need the internet to run it. That’s what we need.” — Tyler (27:09) “Simplicity is always better… the more complex… the more little things can go wrong.” — Jimmy (27:16)

• Accountability and self-improvement:

  “I look in the mirror every day and I hate myself. I’m fat, I’m disgusting, I’m out of shape, what is wrong with me?” — Jimmy (87:53)
  “I think eating fast food is probably just as expensive as buying healthy food.” — Tyler (86:29)

• Show’s meta-humor:

  “We definitely need a potato shirt. … We all look like Minecraft characters.” — Tyler & Jimmy (37:05) “At least we could be entertaining for you guys.” — Tyler (26:10)

• Audience support:

  “Bring on the hate. Because in six months… when I’m back to where I used to be … I’m going to rub it all in everybody’s face.” — Jimmy (89:00)

So we're at the judge in Hazard County. So the last night. Cigarette still smoking in the ashtray, I think. Oh yeah. Mike and Tyler should start a band.

[Mike]

I wrote a song.

[Tyler]

Oh, you could. Oh, because you said. I'm working on a thumb.

[Mike]

It's almost done.

[Jimmy]

Yeah. I'll be honest that the. The video that you dropped last night was pretty awesome. I was. I was not expecting it.

[Mike]

Which one?

[Tyler]

Which one?

[Jimmy]

The one of him and his. His boys before he joined the army in his band.

[Mike]

Oh. Oh, yeah. That was pretty cool. Yeah, that was neat. You should do that. Way better at that than podcasting.

[Tyler]

Yeah. I definitely have the time for it.

[Mike]

You should do that exclusively. I'm saying you should just quit podcasting, go back to music.

[Tyler]

It's called Jimmy Went down to Daytona.

[Mike]

It's coming. It's coming.

[Jimmy]

Dude, Dude.

[Mike]

It's good.

[Tyler]

It's good to just start with the comments that we have now. So there's too many of them.

[Mike]

Cooling, patented sheets, mattress toppers, cooling technology sheets. Yeah, both.

[Tyler]

All right, so honestly, are the cooling sheets or the mattress topper? Oh, the cooling sheets. I would. I mean, mattress topper, I think is more of a. A female thing. I. When I lay on a bed, I just go to sleep. I could lay on a styrofoam, a blow up mattress.

[Mike]

I've seen it. Yeah, well, usually you're inebriated, so you sleep on the ground.

[Tyler]

No, I'm not inebriated, but the one time I slept on an air mattress with. With Mike on the other air mattress. It was a catastrophe.

[Mike]

It was a catastrophe. Our. Our host didn't. Our host wasn't very hosty.

[Tyler]

Yeah, Reagan. Love the show, fellas. Thank you guys for the love. We have a mattress topper and she. See, I didn't even know we had a mattress topper. I couldn't have told you that. Yeah, I mean, I don't think there's any news. I know that Jimmy really wanted to talk about some stuff regarding the. The. His video, because me and him were discussing it. Jimmy, you're not frozen, are you?

[Jimmy]

Oh, no, no. I'm here. I'm just listening.

[Tyler]

We were discussing telling the truth, but then some seal. It might kind of seem like we're attacking people. And we went back and forth and we thought about doing it on the night shift, but we're trying to keep the energy up, so. Well, what do you think?

[Jimmy]

I. I'm gonna go through the video that the Taliban shot of the attack on the SEALs with, you know, Operation Red Wings, and, like, you can hear them screaming for Marcus, and it's. It's gut wrenching, dude. And like, it. You could go either way on that. I. I gotta dig through it and kind of find certain things. But if you don't. If you don't know, if you weren't there, it could be that they're screaming for Marcus because he's isolated or they're trying. I mean, like, it could be a lot of different things, but, like, the way that Mike Murphy is screaming for him, it, like, hurts your soul. And, you know, I don't. I'm not the guy that wants to throw shade At Marcus Luttrell, I really don't. I feel terrible for him. But at the same time, like, the, the, the numbers for what the locals and the Taliban and the intelligence says versus what the Navy says, versus what Marcus says on how many guys attacked them. Like, you can look in the video and see that it's not, it's probably about 10 to 20 guys. The Navy said it was about 80 or 50. Marcus said it was 80 to 200. There's no way it was that many guys. And just, oh, my God. I, I don't want to throw shade at the dude, but at the same time, it's like, dude, that's the, the book that you wrote doesn't line up with all the facts. It just doesn't. And I don't really know what to do about that.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I mean, Mike, you think, huh.

[Mike]

You'Re gonna get sued again.

[Jimmy]

I, I, I don't even want to. Like, it's not that. I'm, I'm not even speculating on his character of service. Like, I'm not gonna do that. I wasn't there, you know, let the seals do that. But I can absolutely, unequivocally say that the amount of dudes that they were engaged with was not 200, it was 15 to 20. But I mean, like, think about it, right? If you're four man Navy Seal team, 15 to 20 dudes is a pretty hard thing to deal with when you don't have any machine guns. You don't, you don't have anything. Yeah, I mean.

[Mike]

Yeah, we could, I.

[Tyler]

Guess if you do it, just quote your sources. I mean, that's what, when you start doing now, like, okay, according to this video, you hear people screaming. I mean, you can't, I don't know, I guess you can sue a ham sandwich, but.

[Jimmy]

Well, I, I mean, I, I think the, the thing that I want to do is just make it very clear, like, I'm not attacking Marcus. I feel really bad for him. I really, really do. And I don't know how much of what was said in the book was Marcus and how much of it was the Navy.

[Mike]

How, how long has this video been out?

[Jimmy]

It's 25 minutes.

[Mike]

How long has it been out, though? When did, when did the video.

[Jimmy]

Oh, oh, that. Dude, it's been out since like, 06. I mean, it's, it's like, you think.

[Mike]

You think I got, I've looked at a lot of things. I've never seen it. So that's why I'm like, I don't want to watch it. I don't want to watch it. I'd rather watch your episode and when you break it down. But.

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Are you gonna. Are you gonna put it in your episode?

[Jimmy]

Yeah. Yeah. And the reason why is because I don't want to do soft guy stuff. But I had so many questions because the first thing that I did in the episode was, why were we in the Korengal Valley? Well, it was because of Operation Red Wings. It was because of all these seals. So, you know. You know, 18 seals got killed like the military wanted to. I mean, I hate to say it this way, but the military was kind of trying to punish the Korengalis for what happened there.

[Tyler]

And.

[Jimmy]

And, like, we're gonna bring you motherfuckers under control. So if we're gonna talk about the Karonga Valley, we have to talk about that mission. And. And I said this in my episode. It's probably the worst told military story from the global war on terror. I mean, it's just so much misinformation. And I. I mean, I have the information to kind of cut through it all and go like, this is what was said, but this is what really happened based on everything that we have. Because the only when. When they.

[Tyler]

When.

[Jimmy]

When they released their report, they just took Marcus's word. So, Mike, I mean, if you're a police detective, are you going to build your narrative on one person's eyewitness testimony, even if it's a cop?

[Mike]

But who else? I mean, what. There was nobody left, right? Who else could.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, everybody else was dead.

[Mike]

Yeah. So you're. I mean, you're gonna have to take. I mean, if the military had that video, that would. Obviously you'd want to kind of factor that video in, if they had it or saw it. But, I mean, when you got one guy left, there's no video. No, no. Nothing else to go on. You're gonna take. And who's to say? I mean. Yeah, you're a human being at the end of the day, who's to say he didn't think there were 200 people? Like, there's bullets coming from everywhere. Your team is highly trained. You're being overrun.

[Tyler]

You.

[Mike]

You have to. You know, I've never been shot at like that. I know you have, but you got it in more of a urban. Where you could see better. You're talking about a jungle fight or. Or a fight in the middle of the woods where it would seem like. Like we watch those trench videos. Like, that's horrible. I can see where one of Those guys thinks there's 20 guys on the other side of the trench because there's just guns going off. You can't really identify what's going on. So, I mean, I would think I would feel like there's 200 dudes too.

[Jimmy]

Like, I mean, but even, even when you were an OP4 guy and you're running around in Louisiana with blanks, you know, like, holy. You know, hey, what did I run into? I'm not sure. And you know that the guys that you. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, you. I can absolutely see how Marcus felt. Like, dude, we are massively outnumbered, especially when they have machine guns and rocket propeller grenades and you don't. It probably felt like a lot of dudes.

[Mike]

Yeah, you get three or four guys firing a machine gun at once. That sounds like 40 guys firing a gun. If you don't know, you know, if you can't identify those machine guns and everything. So it's like trees are falling down around you, trees are getting ripped, grenades are going off. You can't tell which way it's coming from. And that was kind of what, you know, know, I still fought that kind of like you guys did urban city stuff. OP4 Back in the 1800s when I was in for Polk, we were still fighting in the woods, more like what they did. So you're right. It's hard to say. Okay, I've encountered a group of guys. I think there's five or I think there's 25, and it ends up being six. And you're like, well, I got that wrong. But you can't see like, you know, it's not like turning corners and buildings where there can only be in this room there, you know, even if they're stacked. But to ask the, you know, nuts to butts, there can only be 10 guys in this room. Hypothetically. In the woods, you turn, of course, dark, you'd like. It sounds like there's 100 guys over there. So, you know, there's. I would like the other. Break it down.

[Jimmy]

You know, the other problem is. Yeah, and of course, you know, the, the other part of this is, is like the Taliban. Like, I don't want to show their like, like their celebrations. I mean, because like, you can see Mike Murphy dead as in that video. Like, you can see this, his FDNY911 patch on his gear. Like, and like, I'm not showing that. Like, I'm. I won't like you. I'm not going to do that. And I don't want To. I don't want to glorify these guys either, but I, I, You've got to take the evidence from the only camera footage of the battle and go. Well, you can't really see the Americans until they're dead. I don't see a lot of return fire I'm not hearing. And you can tell, like, I know when I'm hearing an AK47 and when I'm hearing an M4 or a suppressed weapon, like you, you can tell the difference. And, and it's such a hard thing to walk. But I mean, like, dude, if we're gonna talk about what happened down there, you know, I, I think you, I think we, I can do it in a way that is still respectful to Marcus and is absolutely not throwing shade at the dude because, man, every one of us could have. I mean, like, I have seen brave guys lose it, you know, and, and, and get scared guys that, you know, been in gunfights. So I, I don't want to do that. I just don't.

[Tyler]

Yeah, well, I, I, I can't focus on anything because I, I can't believe we. It's kick starting the day off like this video quality and it's just you. Yeah, well, I mean, it's, it's the. I'm the only one on the Internet in the studio. Jimmy, obviously is in the other part of the building and he's using separate WI fi on his phone.

[Mike]

Yeah. And it's. His quality is fine. It doesn't make much sense.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, I mean, I mean, you'd think mine would be the one that would be going potato on us.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I mean, this is I. Mike.

[Jimmy]

I really think we just need it. We need a tear down on a rebuild. I don't know.

[Mike]

It doesn't make sense to me.

[Tyler]

Clint says, tyler, be casual. Everything pisses me off. I can't be.

[Jimmy]

Well, at least it's only you. That's potato. You can still make reels out of me. And like.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that's true. I could just take me off and just you guys do it. I thought about, like, turning the camera off, putting my phone as a hot spot for the main computer, but I don't know what that'll do to the.

[Mike]

Once you, you can't undo anything from your angle.

[Jimmy]

Oh, that'll kill the stream.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I have a video. You want to play the video?

[Tyler]

Sure.

[Mike]

It won't let me.

[Jimmy]

Yes.

[Mike]

This is the mayor of Minnesota. Minneapolis with a Somalian flag.

[Tyler]

Are you serious? I mean, I mean, I hate our country, dude, that's America, dude, I hate our country.

[Mike]

Mayor of an American city dancing around with a country's the Somalian flag. And you know, Jimmy said this last night, like how did they get there? Why? But what Minnesota? What was Minnesota? Like this seems like I, I actually.

[Jimmy]

Planned like a whole plan. I found out how they ended up in Minnesota.

[Tyler]

How.

[Jimmy]

So there was a poultry plant in Minnesota that was like looking for work. And some Somalis went there and got hired almost immediately to work in this poultry factory. And so through the, I mean this was in the 90s. And so through their little social network that they had set up for people that had come over from Somalia very quickly, they all started migrating there, getting jobs and creating an enclave of Somalis. And it was all because, I mean, it was all because they could get jobs, you know, working in this poultry plant now again, I mean, getting jobs in a poultry plant and pulling off 8 million or $8 billion worth of. Yeah, they really stepped racketeering and fraud.

[Tyler]

They're moving on up.

[Jimmy]

I, I, I don't believe that they, they had the, you know, brain cells to rub together to pull off that, you know, criminal enterprise.

[Mike]

Did you see that? More on the kid that's describing the break in. The kid with the Yankees hat on, he's wearing twenty four hundred dollar glasses. Somebody took the glasses from the side and found the brand. Yeah, he kids wearing 2400 glasses. And mysteriously somebody broke in and took all the logs, all the like. And it's like, and you got these, can I say you got these white ladies standing behind them with these signs and support. And it's like that mayor should be arrested. Like I have no problem with the president going there, arresting him for treason, like that is treasonous behavior to, to support the flag of another country.

[Tyler]

Have we ever arrested somebody for treason?

[Mike]

I think we should. I, I, I would hope.

[Tyler]

Like what are the stipulations of treason?

[Mike]

It's in the, yeah, it's in the US code like that you're, you're allowing the hostile takeover and now you've predicated it with crimes. You see that the same people you're dancing with the flag are involved in billions and billions of dollars of fraud. You, it's, it's, it's, they gotta go, dude, they gotta go. You can't bring animals into an area and unleash them the way they have. And, and obviously they have help because none of them are smart enough to put together the applications and get the money themselves. They were told to go sit in the daycare, pretend there's kids in here and we'll feed you and we'll give you some new ports and whatever else you smoke. And then somebody's pocketing all that money. That's where I want to see how interesting it gets if it leads to.

[Jimmy]

Oh, well, I mean, anybody who wears smaller hats that. Tim Walls and Elon. What happened, dude? I. I think Tim Walls and. And Elon Omar put all this together and they definitely got a huge kickback out.

[Mike]

I don't know, he might be part of it, but I don't think Tim to do anything.

[Tyler]

Well, Jerry brought up a good point. Didn't know they were having a show today. And that's because this is our first casual Friday show because we were going Monday through Friday every day of the week. We're a legit broadcast now, so little fill you guys in. You know, we're not really. We're not really. What do you call that attractive to FM radio stations? If we don't do five days a week that just. They're not. They can't have us doing two days a week. So today's casual Friday where we're engaging with the audience. Of course, you know, we also are going to talk about things going on in the world. Jerry says hello. Efren. Now they have kids showing up. I don't know what that means. Clint.

[Mike]

He'S saying that you're the same show, but the. But the Internet's worse. Same show left.

[Jimmy]

Right. That's fine for me and Mike.

[Mike]

This is the time we're gonna be. You will see us. The only day you won't see us on here is on Tuesday, which is Patreon only. But every day at 11am the anti air broadcast will be streaming.

[Tyler]

Yeah. No. So the Patreon show will go on the audio side of the house. Know. But if you want to watch it live and engage with us, it's Patreon only starting Tuesday. Yeah.

[Mike]

Make sure you join. Spend the. Spend the five bucks.

[Tyler]

What are we gonna do for Patreon? That's different, you know, I mean, obviously we can be a little bit more. I don't know.

[Mike]

We can already do it with that. And we can. I would think we do a giveaway every Tuesday.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah. That's when we do our Patreon giveaway. But should we. Should we announce it then and then announce the winner on the broadcast so everybody could see the winner?

[Mike]

Yeah, we want to know whenever you see the prizes because we're going to be giving away shirts, hats, and all kinds of cool stuff. So I Would like in that area, but you can only win in Patreon.

[Tyler]

Oh, speaking. Speaking of stuff like that, Dylan has set up a Facebook group for the 99. Brady set up a 99. Instagram.

[Mike]

Jimmy quit.

[Jimmy]

Jimmy.

[Tyler]

No, Jimmy, I'm right here.

[Jimmy]

I don't know why the camera just takes a dump for no reason.

[Tyler]

You got. Okay, so you.

[Jimmy]

I'm here.

[Tyler]

No, that camera has to.

[Jimmy]

Charged. It's charged. I charged it.

[Tyler]

What's the battery icon?

[Jimmy]

Yeah, I charged it before we.

[Tyler]

Is it the cable?

[Jimmy]

Yeah, I charged it. It was.

[Tyler]

A Peter, but, yeah, go to the Facebook 99. And the reason why I suggested a Facebook group is because it's actually where. When I worked at a network before we started Counterculture, they did have a Facebook group. It's essentially when, you know, where people get together and they can actually have. Bye, Jimmy. They can have discussions and stuff, and we can be part of it. The Instagram's dope. It just doesn't allow for a forum. So we have both. Now Mike and Jimmy are 69ing. I want to be engaged, but I'm. I'm on the ugly side.

[Mike]

You guys, we don't mind. Look at me.

[Tyler]

What's up, Chance? What's up, Peter?

[Mike]

I have a race. I have a face for radio, but I'm on a podcast.

[Tyler]

Okay. I'm gonna try this AVN guy. 924. Tiger Ops, LLC. HR Good morning. I hope you guys stay online if you get on the. Oh, of course. Yeah, we'll always be YouTube for sure. We don't have to worry about Jimmy's camera issues when we're on the. If we're on the radio. So just because I'm tight eyes lap, dude, I. I don't know why.

[Jimmy]

The thing is, it's just turning off. It's just. It's like. And it tells me that, you know, your computer has lost connection to the camera for no reason. And then it turns off, and then I just got to go in there and reselect it and turn it back on. It's the weirdest thing, right? See, it's doing it again.

[Mike]

You might just want to switch to your webcam.

[Tyler]

A face for undercover work.

[Jimmy]

You guys can still hear me, I'm assuming.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, we can hear you. Jimmy is getting his nods out. Going dark sharp for somebody that's older than us.

[Mike]

That's what. Why you should know, Clint.

[Tyler]

I'm not. I'm saying he's sharp. He's funny.

[Mike]

It's sharp. Now your potato Jimmy's gone. And Here I am in the studio, in the studio that everybody made fun of. Look at that. Neon lights, background, iPhone, iPhone instead of a Sony. That's where we're at. That's what we need to do.

[Tyler]

Why isn't Jimmy smoking? Clint's like, I'm 50.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, I just redid the connections on the camera.

[Mike]

There we go.

[Jimmy]

This was the problem I was having.

[Mike]

Mike is 49. Bye, Jimmy. Mike is 49.8.

[Tyler]

Jimmy, switch to your webcam.

[Jimmy]

I don't have a webcam.

[Mike]

What do you got?

[Tyler]

I don't have a web. So you're. So the battery icon on your camera is showing full battery. There's a battery?

[Jimmy]

Yes.

[Tyler]

It's okay. Yeah.

[Mike]

Bye, Jimmy. I have a MacBook, dude.

[Jimmy]

I'm. I'm Streamyard dude.

[Mike]

Quality. It's not Streamyard.

[Jimmy]

Streamyard keeps trying to select another camera and I'm like, don't do that.

[Mike]

Now you're a potato.

[Tyler]

Lewis says if you want, you can send me the Stream Yard link invite. I can come on at noon for a quick hello to the live stream. I love it.

[Mike]

I would love to see Lewis.

[Tyler]

Live shows with video are the best. Yeah, I. Absolutely. I agree. When Jimmy can get his computer working.

[Jimmy]

My computer's fun. I'm getting upset about this.

[Mike]

You don't have a webcam in your computer.

[Tyler]

Like a five thousand dollar gaming computer. You don't have a webcam.

[Jimmy]

I have a web. I have a. A webcam. But trust me, you don't want me to use it.

[Tyler]

I mean, Jimmy looks so good on Shadow Cat. He's almost sober at 4:00am Almost. Oh, hell. This is entertaining. At least we could be entertaining for you guys. That's. Yeah, the Prussians 57. You don't look that old, man. I love that Jimmy can hear over the feed, but Tyler's still yelling across the building. I don't. I thought he couldn't hear me.

[Mike]

No, I can't hear you.

[Jimmy]

I. It's not the. It's not the speakers. It's not the mic. It's just like. For some reason it, like Stream Yard's like, hey, I want another camera. I just. I went into my settings and deleted another camera out of there. And I want to see if that changes it because it keeps trying to select this other camera.

[Mike]

So this is what we need. We need a MacBook and an iPhone for each person. Lewis can move it around. Look at. Look at this. Look at this. This is an iPhone.

[Tyler]

Yeah. We have tens of thousands of dollars of equipment in the studio. We need the Internet. To run it. That's what we need.

[Jimmy]

Well, what if we, you know, I mean, there's, there's, there's, you know, selling the. Selling the, you know, the, the equipment and getting, you know, going. You know, simplicity is always better when you're dealing with technology. The more complex interject in a system, the more little things can go wrong. The reason why Mike is like, I'm fine. It's because it's turning me off again. No, no, it's not me. Oh, it's not me. The German jeans.

[Tyler]

Tyler, stop flexing. You're gonna pop that shoulder again. I'm not flexing. I'm stretching. I'm stretching like this.

[Mike]

Oh, God.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, so I think that did it. I. I just deleted the old camera that I was using and. And now, now Stream Yard's not trying to select it anymore.

[Tyler]

Well, Jimmy, your whole rant we missed because you cut out. So you were saying that complexity and then it started like, bugging out.

[Jimmy]

Okay, I bugged out or y' all did.

[Tyler]

Y'. All. You did. We.

[Mike]

You left.

[Tyler]

Like, I can hear Jimmy talking right now in there.

[Jimmy]

And it's not complexity in the system. I don't understand what the is going on. Dude, this thing works fine when I record.

[Mike]

Because you're recording. There's no. There's no Internet. There's no bandwidth issue when it's recording. I mean, you guys can leave. I'll just sit here and talk to everybody.

[Tyler]

No, no, no. In order to use streamyard to record, you have to have Internet.

[Mike]

Yeah, but it's not. There's no latency issue with. With your direct to the camera. That's boom, boom. This is being broadcast out. So it's going through the Internet, through the wires, all the way out there. You're staying just in the cloud. And you never see any bandwidth or lag issues when you're recording on Stream Yard because it's not pushing it. This is pushing it all the way to YouTube. Then YouTube's re pushing it out, so it's jumping through hoops to get out to all the people.

[Tyler]

Mike's trying to sound like he knows what he's talking about.

[Mike]

You know what I'm talking about. Look at my. Dude, let's listen, let's look. Let's look at the facts, people. Ladies and gentlemen, no new taxes.

[Tyler]

Now Jimmy looks great.

[Mike]

He does look great. He's not moving a lot.

[Tyler]

Jimmy's just frozen.

[Jimmy]

No, I mean with the first responders.

[Tyler]

Discount, though, AT&T, you guys probably get a good family plan for that. We have to use business. And Mike researched it and AT&T, although they offer great things to the world, I cannot express enough. This little area that we're in, like this area of Longwood, Florida, is just forever forgotten to all the Internet.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

There's no fiber, so the fastest we can do is 40 upload speed and fiber gives you what, like 300?

[Mike]

My Internet home is nine down and like 600 megs up for the one gig.

[Tyler]

So there's, we're just, you know, we're just here. I'm very aroused.

[Jimmy]

I don't even know what to.

[Tyler]

Thanks for your service, boys.

[Mike]

I wonder if I hosted it. If I host it from here and my signal is the main one. I wonder if it changes it.

[Tyler]

Smash.

[Mike]

Never been. I've never been. We've never been potato on. It's that studio, dude. We've never been potato on the open mic or any other show.

[Tyler]

Telling you, dude, it's the Internet here.

[Mike]

Whatever. Let me see what I got.

[Jimmy]

Is anybody hungry?

[Tyler]

Is anybody hungry?

[Mike]

I'm always hungry.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, is anybody hungry?

[Tyler]

Have you eaten since Pizza Hut last night?

[Jimmy]

No.

[Tyler]

Yeah, you ordered the Pizza Hut on the live show.

[Jimmy]

No, I'm, I am, I, I wasn't hungry. And then all of a sudden, like, I was like, holy, I'm hungry.

[Mike]

It's my life constantly.

[Jimmy]

What a day.

[Mike]

Hold on, let me see what kind.

[Tyler]

Of videos I got here. So bad on my end.

[Jimmy]

I mean, I, I, I, at the very least, like, I, I kind of look at this as, like, you know, we can, we can troubleshoot the problems as we're, you know, going through, you know, like, trying to get this thing to run, you know?

[Tyler]

Yeah. I say we just, I mean, we tried. Spectrum has said they have done everything they can. There's nothing else Spectrums to do. So I think now we just try AT T. If AT T does the same thing, we move on to Starlink and we just keep trying and trying and trying. We'll probably pay thousands of dollars and start up and tear down fees, but.

[Mike]

Well, no, @ and T will be cheap. The Starlink jump would be expensive, but I guess we give. Maybe there's like, maybe everybody in the building has Spectrum. It's fighting everybody else in the building. So if we go to AT&T, it just doesn't make sense to.

[Tyler]

Me. No. So, yeah, it's a great question, Dylan. So it is a plaza and there's what, like nine or ten storefronts and nobody. We're the only ones that have to do uploading. Everybody else Just, I mean, use. When you use Internet, unless you're like, broadcast, you're not really uploading. That's why upload speeds aren't really a thing for them. It's download speeds. Everybody wants. Everybody wants to be able to stream without issues. Get picture.

[Jimmy]

Quality. Unless you're.

[Tyler]

Gaming. Unless you're gaming. Yeah. But no one in the plaza is gaming. So we're the only ones that are, like, affected by this upload issue. And no one else really cares. So it's not. They're not just gonna come redo the entire city blocks for the anti hero broadcast so we can have clearer.

[Jimmy]

Picture. But, I mean, like, Derek Jeter can pay to. To have, like, fiber put in, and he just paid for it. And like, everybody else benefited from it, but that Spectrum wasn't going to do it until Jeter paid for.

[Tyler]

It. How many city blocks is fiber? When they go do a fiber. When they. When they're like, all right, we're going to put fiber in this area, how much. How much do they go.

[Jimmy]

Out? It depends on. It depends on a lot of things. Because the big one is like, they will. You always want to run fiber because fiber is very, very, very fragile. So you always want to put it underground in something. But we live in Florida. What happens to the ground here in Florida? It gets really, really wet. And in a lot of places, you can't dig down deep enough to do it. So you have to bring in, like, engineers to, like, okay, we're going to dig down now. We got to make sure that the water doesn't get in so it becomes a whole thing here in Florida. That's why Florida's probably got some of the worst Internet on the planet. I mean, aside from maybe Somalia, but, I mean, the Somalis are moving into Minnesota, so now they have good.

[Tyler]

Internet. Now they can have fiber and upload gay videos like that we just.

[Jimmy]

Watched. I mean, you look good now, Tyler. And you know. Yeah, now we're figuring this.

[Tyler]

Out. Gotta go deep when it's wet. That is very true. Yeah. What was. Oh, what was Matt talking about last night? Ah, Jimmy's potato. Go yourself. Matt was talking about being a jungle penetrator last night. Yeah, he was. I guess they were talking about a tool like that the military uses or some. And I was like, laughing. Matt, you're a jungle.

[Mike]

Penetra. Wonder if it's like a server. Like, we're pushing so much out. I wonder if it's more than a regular computer because, you know, Streamyard. I don't know the streamyard was made for that multiple input switch that we're.

[Tyler]

Using.

[Mike]

Wow. It seems like Streamyard was made for this. This was what streamyard was made.

[Tyler]

For. I'm still.

[Mike]

Blurry. You're not blurry on my.

[Tyler]

Screen. Well, I know right now I'm.

[Mike]

Not blurry, but I'm saying that maybe Streamyard. I mean, I don't.

[Jimmy]

Know. It.

[Mike]

Just. It never.

[Tyler]

Happened. Mike does. He goes. Maybe it's something.

[Jimmy]

Else. I don't.

[Mike]

Know. When did it start? We were never potato under the.

[Tyler]

Old system, but we years on antihero and remote on Streamlabs. I get.

[Mike]

It. But we were ne. We were never. There was.

[Tyler]

Never. So we have to sacrifice remote. I mean, like, at the end of the day, I'm not going to sacrifice something.

[Mike]

Just. I don't want either. Something about multiple inputs into Streamyard with the Internet is causing. I mean, I'm not very bright either, but something about multiple inputs, multiple cameras, the switch, the audio all going.

[Jimmy]

Into. It's causing a lag for.

[Mike]

Me. Correct. It's all leading to some type of problem. And we keep blaming the Internet because it seems easy, but is what we're doing effective to streamyard? But it's not that. It's not that, dog. Your upload speeds were identical when you had Antihero under the old operating system and you were streaming live on the Internet. The only difference was it wasn't through stream yard. That's all I'm saying. There's never an.

[Tyler]

Issue. Efren says Clint I have. When I have wi fi, I just play the live to listen to Jimmy and Tyler troubleshoot the wife. Joe said Matt's race mixing. I don't want to speak for Matt, although I.

[Jimmy]

Do. Matt. Matt is an equal opportunity appreciator of beautiful.

[Tyler]

Women. Spit on the whiskey. For the castle sticks the whiskey.

[Jimmy]

4. Spit on the.

[Tyler]

Whiskey. These guys and Brent were running psyops to cover up racketeering operation running against me in 2014. Oh, my God. There's always.

[Jimmy]

One. What the is.

[Tyler]

That? No idea. Massage. Trying to ruin the pod. That or the. The enemy. One of the.

[Jimmy]

Two. The enemy. I'm going with that.

[Tyler]

One. We definitely need a potato shirt. Yeah, no, it's just a shirt of us. But we're all megapixels. Like.

[Jimmy]

Minecraft. We all look like Minecraft.

[Tyler]

Characters. Let's be redrawn as Minecraft characters. Never go full potato. We are trying not to. The area around the northern. Okay. And all part of that. Paul, the big scam to cover up a human Traffic network. Does anybody ty? I'm not trying to be a dick. I just have no idea what you're talking.

[Jimmy]

About. The area around Oklahoma are all part of that. Paul Hutcherson was a big scam to cover up a human trafficking network running. Running in Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas since the.

[Tyler]

80S. Well, this one's the one that throws me off. These guys and Brent were running psyOps to cover up a racketeering operation running against me in 2014. Well, first off, in 2014, I was in college.

[Jimmy]

So. Well, I think he means that the operation was in 2014, but, like, we covered it.

[Tyler]

Up.

[Jimmy]

Like. What? That doesn't even make any.

[Tyler]

Sense. Taylor Swift is quoting my old MySpace.

[Jimmy]

Page. Okay, all right, dude.

[Tyler]

You'Re. Your whole thing is that you probably don't even know.

[Mike]

I. So there's a cruise ship video. You guys know I like cruises out of Australia. And the crew decided to dress up. They were giving out free snow cones. So the crew decided to dress up to give out three snow cones. So if you want to play that video, it's the. The.

[Tyler]

Customers.

[Jimmy]

I. Hey, I. I troubleshooted my problems on my end. The camera's not going in and out.

[Mike]

Anymore. Yeah, it's right.

[Jimmy]

There. Snow cone video keeping crew were dressed as snow cones. A spokesperson for the cruise line says the housekeeping staff didn't have much to work with when it came to materials for a costume, so they decided to dress as upside down snow cones. It was only a very short.

[Tyler]

Time they were on the pool deck in those outfits before management saw.

[Jimmy]

Them. An Australian cruise line that said that the pointed white hoods worn by.

[Tyler]

Cruise ship staff at a Christmas costume party were actually upside down snow cones. That's not the cake. That's.

[Mike]

Good. It was upside.

[Jimmy]

Down. Are you telling me that nobody looked at each other? Was like, bro, we look.

[Mike]

Like. Think about it. They're all from, like, the Philippines and all over the.

[Tyler]

Place. I don't know what the KKK.

[Mike]

Is. Yeah, they're like, look. Look at these upside down snow cone costumes. Let's put them on. They walked.

[Jimmy]

Around. Where do you find.

[Tyler]

This?

[Mike]

Dude? I just. Oh, my God, send me the wildest dude. Like, this is.

[Jimmy]

My. As everybody on the cruise ship Filipino? Like, is there no like. Like white people.

[Mike]

Staff? Not. Well, the line I go on, there's a lot of times an Italian owned cruise line. So some of the pit bosses are Italian. The most of the security, the captains are all Italian. But your workers are primarily Philippines. There's some. Some South America mixed In but for the most part it's Asia, South Asia, all that area. They make money. I mean thousand dollars a month and they're gone six to seven, eight months at a time. They go home for like six, eight weeks and go right.

[Jimmy]

Back. Indian.

[Tyler]

Scam. When people call people bots. I don't get it because obviously that's not a robot. That's not AI typing that. That's like.

[Jimmy]

A. Like when people just kind of a catch all term too for. For people that have a specific agenda and are there just to be. You know, create havoc and you.

[Mike]

Know. So wife. That's what wives usually do.

[Tyler]

Create.

[Mike]

Chaos. I got one of those right out.

[Tyler]

There. Yeah. Oh, she's.

[Mike]

Home. So she worked her last night shift last night. It was a wild night too. She was telling me about her night and they had like 900 things going on at.

[Tyler]

Once. Yeah. Good send off. Make you feel like I don't. I'm not gonna miss.

[Mike]

That. No. And she's like it's gonna be just as busy during the day. I'm like, yeah, but you usually don't have like three stolen cars and a domestic and shooting all that going on it. That's usually 2am crime, you.

[Tyler]

Know. All right, so Animal mother all of a sudden started making sense. Last night on the night shift, I could actually read and understand what he was saying. So before that on this, on the broadcast he was saying stuff and I guess he was talking to text and it wasn't coming out right. He said, yo, an anti hero. How Ray Loda and Leonardo Capra get in studio. So somebody looks like Ray Luda. I think Jimmy kind of looks like Leo.

[Jimmy]

DiCaprio. Who looks like that has to be.

[Mike]

Mike. No, I'm.

[Tyler]

Bald. I roasted chestnut. I. I can't not read this, guys. It's all right. I'm a guy the CIA tried to kill when I was 6 years old. Been running some kind of scam ever since my father ran for us house and from it's been some kind of like you over and over and over. Like you over and over and over again. Oh, I say like he's dealing with over and is your. Is your Internet out?

[Jimmy]

Ty. Hey, you look good. Now.

[Mike]

Tyler.

[Tyler]

We.

[Mike]

We. You know, we never glazed over the fact that I had the person who actually shot Os Bin Laden reach out to.

[Tyler]

Me. Oh, that's.

[Mike]

True. We got to put those. We got one of these casual days like next Friday. I got. I gotta screenshot all that and get it up and watch what I went through for two or three days. Dude was wild. Wild.

[Jimmy]

Dude. Oh, my God. That whole thing was just like. And. And you. You know, you said it best because you're like, he really believes.

[Mike]

This? Oh, no, he does. He does. He disappeared, though. I don't know what happened to.

[Tyler]

Him. But people. Here's the thing. When you. When you start reaching out into the Internet space, people are crazy. Like, when we went to me and Mike went. It was. I think it was ntoa. When we went, somebody came and got me, and they said, hey, are you the anti hero podcast at the time? I was like, yeah. They're like, there's someone out here looking for Brent Tucker. And I was like. I went. And look. I was like, real Brent. You know, anybody has meeting you? And he's like, no. I'm like, they're. They're like. And then the. The hotel people are like, yeah, he's a. He said he's a huge fan. He told Brent he was coming. He wants to meet Brent, but he didn't have tickets to get into the show, so. And it's just like. And so I went out there and I kind of watched him for a minute, and then I engaged him a little bit, and he's like, I. I'm a 18 Delta. I was kicked out, and I want to expose all this. I was like, okay, bye. So people are.

[Mike]

Not. That's funny you say that. I. I was.

[Jimmy]

Working. When you peer into the.

[Tyler]

Darkness, Mike, throw your pen in.

[Mike]

Anger. Keep hearing. Because obviously Jimmy's delayed. Because I hear you real time, and I. But go ahead.

[Jimmy]

Jimmy. I don't know why I'm delayed. I mean.

[Tyler]

Hit. You're gonna say.

[Mike]

That even that relax reaction was delayed. But what I was gonna say is I worked Jake Owen, the country singers from Vera beach, and he comes every year and does, like, a charity concert at the airport. And I was working one night, and some guy pulled that stunt. He came up to, like, back access to the concert, was like, oh, Jake knows I'm coming. I'm here. I'm meet him. And it was a psychopath. He had, like, a backpack on. I'm like, here we go. I'm gonna die. But the Internet's a wild place, dude. And I actually found a really cool website I need to tell you about.

[Jimmy]

Later. When you peer into the darkness, be very careful, because the darkness may be peering.

[Tyler]

Back. We don't peer into the darkness, though, Dan. Dude, we don't. Like.

[Jimmy]

Really? The Internet is the.

[Tyler]

Darkness. Yeah, that's true. The CIA said the voices in my head Aren't.

[Jimmy]

Real. Oh, my.

[Tyler]

Goodness. All right, sure. Situation with a group of running fraud against a television radio tower company involving a guy named Brent and Ty and a bunch of singers have been thinking.

[Jimmy]

About. That's that. Okay. See, lead with.

[Tyler]

That. I don't even know what that.

[Jimmy]

Means. I'm. I'm actually, like, while we're doing this, I'm looking at this video and trying to. I. I wanna. I'm. I'm already thinking about what I'm gonna do because normally, like, I will figure out, like, what my next podcast will be based on, like, the feedback that I get back. And I'm. I'm looking at this video right now. Maybe that's it up. Just because I'm trying to. I'm trying to add something here, you know, because, like, and. And look at what's going on in the regular.

[Tyler]

World. Cole and Dylan says we haven't done a verse of the day. Maybe we do need to get some. Some of him in here to help us because we're struggling. They requested Psalm 37 for.

[Jimmy]

Today. Okay, let's. Let's do that. Let's see here. Niv. Arise, O Lord. Deliver me, my God. Strike all my enemies on the jaw and break the teeth of the.

[Tyler]

Wicked.

[Jimmy]

Wow. Pretty sure we know what David's talking about there.

[Tyler]

Obviously, that's a really good quote or.

[Jimmy]

Verse. Yeah, I mean, you know, David talks about war and fighting all the time. Like, that's one of the reasons why you, like, if you want to read some. Some good stuff that's like, you know, you know a lot. There's a lot of good verses of David and he's talking about war and combat. And, you know, you know, that guy, he. I mean, you know, most people think of David, they think of David and Goliath, but man, that guy was doing a lot of war for a very, very long time. I mean, you know, I mean, he had a whole. His special operations force killed giants. That was their whole.

[Tyler]

Mission. Yeah, well, me and Heather actually found that. That verse from a T shirt company, and it's like, man, that's a really badass verse. I probably shouldn't swear while I'm.

[Jimmy]

Talking about it, but I don't think. I'll be honest with you. I don't think God really cares about salty language as much as he cares about where your heart is at. Now, obviously, maybe, you know, be respectful of people. That's something that you should do. But, like, I don't think he cares about a lot of these words that we care.

[Mike]

About like, which.

[Jimmy]

Words? You know, ass, titties.

[Tyler]

Boner. You ever seen Robert? Like earmuffs.

[Jimmy]

Balls.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Thanks, Frank. Truly one of my favorite verse of everyday life and pre deadlift. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty.

[Jimmy]

Motivational. I, I, I'm a big fan of Blessed be the Lord, my strength that teaches my hands to war and my fingers to.

[Tyler]

Bite. Y' all know they got a David movie out? I don't.

[Jimmy]

Know. Yeah, it's.

[Tyler]

Animated. Of course. It's anime. Yes, Heather does go to sleep to SC scripture. I will vouch for that. Tyler. I was going to say. And I was going to say anything about it. I have no idea what he's talking about. Moving in real time. Jimmy's singing a Blink 182 song. Said. Whoa. I'm not trying to self promo. What is going.

[Jimmy]

On? I don't.

[Tyler]

Know. I don't.

[Jimmy]

Know. So I need to go get my ad read for the second hour. Are you going to be able to roll.

[Tyler]

Vengeance? Yeah, yeah, I'll roll it. Yeah, we are going an hour too. I, I have to skip out of here a little early. I have an appointment at 1. So we can just end it at like 1240, 1245, something like.

[Jimmy]

That. Well, I mean, at the very least we, you know, we kind of figured out like, I mean it's, it's always like you never like, do everything perfect when like you just go like, all right, it, we're just gonna throw it together and figure out what.

[Tyler]

Happens. Yeah. And then we, then we start molding it from.

Yeah. Jimmy talks anime to the only black dude in the.

[Jimmy]

Platoon. Clint has been in an infantry platoon. I can.

[Tyler]

Tell. Prussian. I'll tell you what, Mega death for the most part sucks. Dave Mustaine is an awful singer and vocalist. I do like.

[Jimmy]

Symphony. You don't like.

[Tyler]

Megadeth? Oh, I do not. There's a reason why he was kicked out of Metallica is because he's, he's not a good songwriter and he's a terrible vocalist. Colt, we'll see you later. We gotta, we gotta get Cole on here one day before he.

[Jimmy]

Leaves.

[Tyler]

Lewis. Oh, yeah, he's gotta pop in the.

[Ad Reader]

Lobby. Over a century ago, in 1910, the Flexner Report, funded by John D. Rockefeller and the Carnegie foundation, re engineered medical education from a holistic whole body approach which appropriately treated the body as an interconnected system to a compartmentalized approach. Under the guise of specialized medicine, they shut down or consolidated medical schools, marginalized naturopathic, homeopathic and chiropractic medicine, replacing them with symptom management and synthetic drugs. Allopathy is a marketing strategy rooted in fear and manipulated science. This philosophy carried into veterinary medicine results resulting in over vaccination, unnecessary surgeries, and manufactured food, just like they did for people. They call it care, but it's predatory and based in.

[Tyler]

Profitability. The.

[Ad Reader]

Truth. Toxicity, compromised immunity and chronic inflammation. They're not fate, they're engineered. And so is your power to undo them. We built three targeted formulas to return the body to homeostasis for pets and people to detox, defend and restore. We are the correction to decades of corruption. We are.

[Tyler]

Vengeance.

[Jimmy]

[Mike]

Up. It's the scribbled out part. Doesn't tell you that? Not to read.

[Tyler]

It? No, it's. Well, you scribbled out half of it. You left the other half for me to read. It's a teleprompter, dude. I'm like. I'm like, what's that Will Ferrell.

[Jimmy]

Read. So right now I'm. I'm getting. I'm going through current events. We had a lot of crazy stuff happening on the first. There seems to be a rash of churches getting.

[Tyler]

Burned. Seems to be. Jimmy, hold on. I'm not done. I had to get the other ad. Yeah. Goontape.com. if you're a tactical athlete looking for an edge, try some moisture activated goon tape.

But just wanted to get you guys seeing it, being exposed to it, letting you know about the company Goon tape raid responsibly. All right. Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off. Jimmy.

[Jimmy]

Man. I was just saying. And then I gotta go answer the door. There's. There was a rash of like riots and fires, especially churches getting burned in Europe around the first of the year. Any ideas why that might have.

[Tyler]

Happened? I saw that it was. I thought. Okay, I thought it was. From what I saw. I saw people in Iran burning Iran things because they're sick of. They're burning down.

[Jimmy]

Moss. Yeah. So Iran's different. So. But like, this is in Europe. So this is like Amsterdam, like a really famous historical church got burned down. And then there's like Moroccan enclaves in Belgium and Holland that are rioting. If they're Moroccans, that doesn't sound like they're from Belgium or Holland. I mean, it doesn't seem like those are the kinds of people that really like windmills. What the are they doing.

[Tyler]

There? Yeah. Shaking.

[Mike]

Maracas.

[Jimmy]

No. Well, Moroccans are from North Africa. They're Muslims. They're.

[Tyler]

Muslims. Has nothing to do with the traditional Hispanic morocca. No, that is used in musical.

[Jimmy]

Events that.

[Tyler]

Dude. Preach the.

[Jimmy]

News.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Did you know that maracas have nothing to do with Moroccan the.

[Mike]

Country? No, they don't. They actually.

[Tyler]

Don'T.

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Morocco. Is Matt.

[Jimmy]

Here?

[Tyler]

No. I thought you said you had to go answer the.

[Jimmy]

Door. I do have to go answer the door, but not quite.

[Mike]

Yet.

[Jimmy]

Doordash. I'm. I. I gotta do. I gotta do our product.

[Mike]

Placement. New Newports in public. Chicken is almost. Almost.

[Jimmy]

Here. I don't smoke.

[Tyler]

Newports. He's a Marlboro.

[Mike]

Man. I don't pay.

[Tyler]

Attention. He's a marble light.

[Jimmy]

Man. Dude, you've been. You've been hanging out in the bad neighborhoods. Think that mar.

[Tyler]

That.

[Jimmy]

That. That Newports is the only cigarettes that get smoked? Don't smoke.

[Mike]

Those. That's a. That's a common smoke.

[Tyler]

Of. Know what I tell people all the time, Mike? Like, the smell of weed. Like, you have so many negative contacts in your career that have to do with the smell of marijuana that people ask, like, oh, if you're retired, would you ever smoke weed? And I'm like, I. Honestly, I don't. I like the. The smell brings me back to crime. And that's. That. That's not their fault. That's not my fault. It's just when our worlds collide, there's usually the smell of marijuana involved.

[Mike]

And it just kind of like, yeah, turn to turn off. And I don't act like.

[Jimmy]

That. What's. Mike, are you gonna ever mention your. Like, how do I say this so that you'll know, but nobody else will you. You said something to us a couple of weeks ago, and I was like, that's. That's a pretty cool thing. And I've heard people say it in the comments about, like, hey, maybe. Maybe Sheriff Mike Dilks might be a thing.

[Tyler]

Somewhere. You ready to talk about it, Mike.

[Jimmy]

Or.

[Mike]

No? I mean, there needs to be some type of change. And I look at President Trump as whatever you wanted to say. Conspiracy. That. Let's take all that out of it. Let's take it. Let's make it a perfect world. They elected somebody who, at face value, is completely different than the entire establishment. Completely different than the entire establishment. He says things that nobody else will say. He does things nobody else would do. And again, I'm not diving into the deep conspiracy of the comments and all that, CIA and all that, but if you look at. If you're. If you're just a regular dude that wakes up every morning and you look at what he does, it makes sense. Like, Somalians need to go. Like, it's very. Nobody else would say that. Like, we have a. A. We have a culture that is animals. They're invading our country. They should all go. That's not very popular to say, but it's true. And I think A lot of people think that way. They're just scared to say it. So when I get into law enforcement, you think of like, look at your sheriff. What is. You look at. These guys are at conferences. They're jerking off in fucking California. Kalia and all these accreditations and guys are going to the FBI, Cat. They're going to all these things, are spending all these tax dollars when the reality of the position is they are the top law enforcement person in the county and their job is to protect the citizens of the county from crime. Going to fucking vacation with your family at a conference in Orlando and spending thousands of tax dollars doesn't seem to me benefit anybody. So people have kicked it around. I have a horrible. Obviously, I've been run over by a bus a million times. Everybody's got all these wild things to say about me. But at the end of the day, well, you can't say, you can't not notice is all I did was put people in jail. All I focused on was the community and doing that. So it's a pipe dream. I know it comes with a lot of. Even worse than being on the podcast. It comes with a lot of, you know, skeletons and all that, and I've aired everything out I've ever done, but I've kicked it around. I mean, why not somebody who actually did the job? You know, every administration, except unless you're. You're friends with two guys in our network that have the greatest place on earth to work, everybody knows that administration is.

[Tyler]

Up.

[Mike]

The. The goal of the administration is not what's in the best interest of the community. And it's. It's at every level. There's some good bosses, there's some good guys. Sandy Springs Police Department, where Jordan Dennis works, has a great. Ken desimone, great chief. There are good ones. But you look at Greg, Tony in Miami, Miami or Broward county, has a camera crew that just follows him around all day. He's a social media star. And then you get into my sheriff, the guy here, blowing tax dollars, wasting money. So the long, the short is somebody like me. And I'm not saying it's me, but somebody like me who's very straightforward and has the understanding that crime is what's most important. I would like to see somebody like that take over an agency and actually watch what happens when we put the job, the community and all that first. And we're not worried about going to conferences and jerking off about what accreditations we have and all that stuff. So we'll see. We'll see. Jimmy asked a question and.

[Tyler]

Left. No, Jimmy couldn't wait 30 minutes to not.

[Mike]

Eat. But you can't really time that. Sometimes they take too.

[Jimmy]

Long. Yeah, I. I actually told them to come at 1250 and it. They ordered.

[Mike]

It. Actually, we have a comment. It's time to close this podcast down, guys. It's not doing well. We don't have good guests. We should shut it.

[Tyler]

Down.

[Mike]

Who? Tobias Cologne says you guys should shut down the podcast. Unfortunately, it's not doing well and you guys need better guessing topics.

[Tyler]

So. Oh, this guy's mentally ill.

[Mike]

Bro. I would like to announce that the anti hair broadcast is.

[Tyler]

Over. And look, you look like a woman. And you just brought it to light. And at the end of the day, he's right, dude. We've had too many problems. Jimmy's starving. Mike's running for sheriff. Like, we're not gonna be able to.

[Mike]

Sustain. The job is.

[Jimmy]

Dead.

[Tyler]

Dude. Why?

[Mike]

Why? Can you imagine writing that while you're watching the.

[Tyler]

Show?

[Jimmy]

Yeah, it was really hard to watch Mike just crush tic tacs while we.

[Mike]

Were. My.

[Jimmy]

Diet. He just eats tic tacs. Mike's over here just pouring them into his mouth. I'm so hungry. But, you know, I think that, like, my issue as an outsider looking at the sheriff is the same issue that I have with pretty much everybody else that's been in power for more than eight years. Like, it's time for you to go. You. You. Because as you sit in power, you accumulate more power, right? And I mean, like, look at Grady Judd, man. He is a. He is very powerful man. He's a very powerful man, but he shouldn't have the kind of reach that he does. But he does. He should be the sheriff. He should be focusing on Polk county and being the sheriff in Polk.

[Mike]

County. He is, but he's a bully too. Like, he. He preaches that stuff. But then, you know, just like everybody else talked about it, you know, I'm not gonna hide with the tone alert. Argument was guys from their agency.

[Tyler]

Reached out and said, you got Mike talking like this. When he talks like this. That's. That's Mike's show. Welcome to anyway, because I'm being.

[Mike]

Serious. Sometimes there's times to be serious. So I'm being serious. I was asked a serious question. I have to be the sheriff. I have to be dignitary. I have to be very, very, very, you know, can't talk about, like news articles where some lady says a guy looks like a certain animal. Like, we got to talk about serious stuff right.

[Tyler]

Now. We Just brought up the upside down snow.

[Mike]

Cones. That was earlier. That was earlier. We transitioned. We transitioned. But no, it's. It's. You know, those guys. There's people living in delusional land that you know it needs to be fixed. And he's one of them. Rady Judd is one of those guys that. He sounds good on tv, makes it loud, but, guys, message me. I'm like, it ain't like that, dude. He doesn't treat.

[Tyler]

Us. The guys need to grow some balls like the cops used to do. But if you want to sit there and work for a sheriff. And then, of course, if they leave, I get it. You. You work for a place. I've done it twice. You go to a place, you find out admin sucks, and you leave, they're going to replace you. You're not going to hurt them with you leaving, but everybody's got to do it. And then there is one department that I had a video for, but I guess we didn't cover it. I guess I didn't send it to you. Where it's a small agency, but everyone's leaving. Even the chief left, left. They have nobody. Everybody left. And so what do you do now? Then hopefully you have a sheriff's office that works the road. And now they got to take it over and they gotta, you know, start patrolling it. And they're probably not ready for.

[Mike]

It. If you look at, like, you know, Jerry sends me a lot of stuff from Broward county and like, you know, Broward county took over, like, Deerfield beach and a bunch of places, and they, you know, swallowed up that jurisdiction. The police department's disbanded. But a guy like Greg Tony has ruined all those places. And now you have these city councils getting ready to vote themselves back into law enforcement. It's kind of dangerous when, you know, they take over such large areas and they're politically, you know, I'm showing that these guys have so much power. So that I think is my problem is you give guys unlimited power as a share of who investigates them. I found out nobody really wants to investigate them. They get on tv, they say whatever they want, they do whatever they want. And when I can blow my personal story and the stuff that's happened to people in my family and. And really bring that out in like a. Like a. Like, like Jimmy's doing with a real breakdown. Like, very, very breakdown. This is the facts, like, when I can do that about what's gone on just to my family, you guys will see. And it's coming. You guys will see how They're. There's. It's just impossible to go against them. And then I get what you say, and I'm one of them. The guy should just rebel and quit and that, and I get it. But, dude, you still got to pay your bills. You still gotta wipe.

[Tyler]

It. Jimmy's shoving his face full of.

[Mike]

Hamburger, and I don't look at it. So it's like, do.

[Tyler]

You. That's the new rule, by the way. Starting. Starting January 3rd, we will not be eating meals during our hour and a half long.

[Mike]

Bro. I like.

[Jimmy]

It. So my bad. I will stop right.

[Mike]

Now. So, like, the, like, you have to, like, these guys got to work. So there's a fine line somewhere in there, and, you know, Dom's gotten really hard on it where it's like, if you're not gonna speak up, don't message me anymore. And I. I get it. I get it. It gets frustrating being the guy who's always willing to step up and saying it essentially cost me my career by speaking out. But these guys still gotta pay their bills, dude. So are they sellouts? We're not saying anything. It's a really hard line to walk when it's like, not everybody has a podcast to fall back on or a.

[Tyler]

Business. It's not a dude. Stop giving him excuses. Dude, I worked for three years, 18, 20 hours a day to get.

[Mike]

Out. I get.

[Tyler]

It. They gotta start now. They have to start now, saying you used to be that guy that sat right there and said, it's not an excuse to do.

[Mike]

That. It's not an excuse, but it's. It's not. I don't think it's as easy as, like, just speak out and get you fired if you're not, like. Let's say you're not there. You're not there yet. You haven't put the 18 to 20.

[Tyler]

Hours. If you worked anywhere else, if you worked for Amazon and you made $70,000 a year as an employee at Amazon, a manager or some, and then you were like, I hate Amazon. You went work somewhere else. It wouldn't be this big. Big, like, dramatic. Like, we need.

[Jimmy]

To. Because it's law.

[Tyler]

Enforcement. It's a.

[Mike]

Job. No, it's different. It's a cult, and you know it. It's different. It's completely different. Because you leave one agency, you're bl. You leave Amazon, you can go work at Walmart. Nobody talks. You leave law enforcement agency. If you leave a lot. Okay, that's a. That's fine. Don't be a cop. I'm Good with that answer. But once you do, look at Peach, dude, Peach in our network. He can't get hired, dude. He pissed the wrong person off. These that work in Emory.

[Tyler]

County. I can't get behind somebody that. Look at everybody. Everybody but me and you, Mike, are literally trying to get back into law.

[Mike]

Enforcement. I can't combine that either. Okay, you're right. But we need cops too. He's gonna all quit. But who is going to do the job? Who's gonna do.

[Jimmy]

It? Here's. I, I got, I gotta, I gotta, I got another solution, man. Like, there's nothing that's like you guys want to make change. It may not necessarily be about, hey, everybody's gotta quit. You can go, hey, we're gonna show up and we're not rolling for anything except these.

[Tyler]

Illegal. You can't do.

[Jimmy]

That. You can't do blue.

[Tyler]

Flu. A lot of, a lot of states.

[Mike]

Have. No, you can't. Florida, you can't. It would be. And that's a, that's another issue is like, you can't. So it's like, it's a cult, dude. In Florida especially, it's a cult. They control you. It's a right to work state. You have to go to work.

[Tyler]

Dude. It's like the, the dude that goes back to the crazy and you're like, dude, you were just fine. Go on, get your life back together. Hey, bro, I'm thinking about going back out with her again. And like at the end of the day, it's, it's your fault. Like, I've told you everything I need to.

[Mike]

Know. Remember, part of the cult mentality is the benefits and the job and the money. You can't, you know as well as I can you're making 110 grand as a, as a, a topped out deputy in Orange county, wherever county, in your county. You make a. You can't just go it. I'm done. I'm going. I'm going over there. I'm, I'm. I'm leaving. Oh yeah, you start at 50. That's not going to work. Or now you've, you have, you have a platform to stand on because you did put in the work. I'm not going to devalue the hard work that you put in yourself to make sure that you weren't controlled. That's not normal. You are the, you are the exception to the rule. You are the, you are the non normal. You're the anti hero of that because you did it. Not everybody can just wake up one day and work an extra 18 and 20.

[Tyler]

Hours. They have four kids because they're weak. And those are people out there being cops. Those guys. I can't work harder than I need to for me and my family. Yeah. They're out there enforcing the u. S. Constitution. They're.

[Mike]

Weak. They got a nice truck. They got a nice truck. They got a nice truck, too. They got a squatter. They go with the squatter trucks.

[Tyler]

That. You are absolutely right. The whole benefits, that's how they get you. I. I would be a liar if I didn't say that my marriage not went through a strainer, was affected by it. But yes, coming home and telling your wife and briefing your wife for six months like, I'm about to do this. It's. It's not the easiest conversation to have. Your whole family now, now, certain doctors visits aren't covered because you can't get the same insurance. Even if you want to pay for it out of pocket, you can't. You got to be stuck with, like, entrepreneur insurance that doesn't exist. It's. The whole thing sucks. Your retirement, now you got to start over. You got to pull out your retirement, which you're destroyed on with taxes and fees. And so it's. It. It sucks. And I. And I.

[Mike]

Know. I'm.

[Tyler]

Gonna. I'm.

[Jimmy]

I'm. I'm sorry. I. I gotta dis. I'm gonna disagree with you guys right now. The reason why you have so many guys who get out and then want to go back, look at the guys we're talking about. They're hard chargers. I think, personally, a lot of their identity as a man is built up in the fact that they're a cop or that they're a soldier or that they're a marine. Right. It's the same reason why dudes will get out of the military and two or three years later, we'll go right back in. And yeah, I'm sure that the benefits are part of it, but it. It is everything to do. It's one of those man things where it's like, I don't want to be a podcaster. I want to be a gunfighter. I want to be a.

[Mike]

Cop. I get it. I get it. Yes, yes, yes. But that's. There still has to be good.

[Tyler]

Cops. Like, just like, not only are they out there being weak, they're insecure. Great. That's out. Who's out.

[Jimmy]

There? Dude, if you tell somebody who carried a gun for a living and thought of themselves as a protector and took a lot of pride in the fact, saying, yeah, I'M a. I'm a cop. I'm a sheriff's deputy. I'm on the SWAT team. And you go, hey, dude, you're going to be the assistant manager at Publix, and you can make the same amount of money and have the same benefits, but now you're the assistant manager at Publix. They're not going to want to do that.

[Mike]

Job. No, they want. Because it's an. It's an. You're right. It's an ego thing. And it's a. For some of them, it is. But somebody still has to do the job. So there's still responsibility to try to improve the job. And the administration. Somebody has to, because at some.

[Tyler]

Point, they don't know business, dude. When the other side of the table needs something, you stop just giving it to them and then.

[Mike]

Complaining. Yes, but we need to do.

[Tyler]

That. It's a society needs that you need to be not just. I don't know.

[Mike]

Dude. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. But how do we fix it? We have to have cops. There's no way around it. There's zero percent chance to come. The country.

[Jimmy]

Succeeds. So I disagree. Nope, I disagree. The. You guys are. You guys are talking about a system that is already completely corrupted because of who it's beholden.

[Mike]

To.

[Jimmy]

To. We don't need cops that are run by the city. We don't need sheriffs that are. Or sheriff's deputies that are run by some politician. What we need to do is go back to the old west style of. Yeah, we're just gonna hire some, you know, some, you know, Wyatt Earp types. They're gonna enforce the law the way that they want.

[Mike]

To. Yeah, but I mean, that goes Back to the A10 run through Chicago. I mean, that's a whole other topic. Like.

[Jimmy]

To. I mean, there has to be. I mean, you know, you talk about community policing, right? Why don't we have the communities police themselves? Neighborhood watch.

[Tyler]

Armed. Well, then you turn into Somalia.

[Mike]

Minnesota. Yes. The reason the police were put in was so that people with some type of morals and some type of structure don't just go, I don't like my neighbor. I'm gonna kill him when he's sleeping tonight. Like.

[Tyler]

There. Yeah, you'll have a bunch of Someone's walking around.

[Jimmy]

Soon. Yeah, but okay, but here's the thing. Like, so if the community is doing that. Hear me out.

[Tyler]

Man.

[Jimmy]

If. If the neighborhood is like, you move into this neighborhood and it's like, okay, hey, you have a problem with your neighbor and you go shoot that guy. Well, then the neighborhood's like, yeah, you're dead too. Like, I mean, it gets solved.

[Mike]

Just. Yeah, that's happening right now. It happened last night in Gifford, Florida. Like, that's, There was two shootings. Like, that happens every day. And it, it's, it's. I, I, I see what you're saying, but my point is, you can't abandon a system that should be succeeding, okay, because of, it's like abandoning the government because we have a bunch of shitty congressmen in Senate. Like, let's just give up.

[Tyler]

Like, it's democratic suppression or liberalism. Liberalism being not libertarianism, but liberalism. And then you go above that and it's the powers that be in the earth, in the world, that are doing this. And then they go above, above that, and it's the enemy. So it's the enemy using the powers that be in the world, using the liberalism mindset that are causing all of.

[Jimmy]

This. You're.

[Mike]

Right. Clint's right. We, we. The, the anti hero cruise is going to be a. The snow cone cruise. It takes off a minute. We embark in Minnesota for the snow cone.

[Tyler]

Cruise. Man, I'll get used to the. I'll get used to. It's not a new schedule, really, just extra. It's 11 o' clock every morning. Every single morning it's 11 o'. Clock. We'll be here doing something. Like I said, Mondays will be a regular broadcast, Tuesday will be Patreon. Tuesdays. Wednesdays will be Friends days where we actually get a somebody in and it's more focused on them. Kind of like an.

[Mike]

Interview. Joe Rogan or.

[Tyler]

Ben. Yeah. And then Thursdays will be the regular podcast. And then Fridays will be this casual Fridays where we, we, we're supposed to be engaging with the.

[Mike]

Audience. We.

[Tyler]

Are. But yeah, we are way behind in comments. Like, way behind. So you guys commented during Mike's ridiculous rant on fixing law enforcement instead of abandoning.

[Mike]

It. Let us become a third world nation. That.

[Tyler]

Part. Yeah, you got. You guys are attacking my me like Jesus was attacked for telling the truth. That's my cross to bear. Yeah, you look like a woman, dude. Let's see. Do not compare yourself to Jesus, Tyler. The hiring process takes so long that you can't just jump to another agency tomorrow. I know. I've jumped agency to agency. It's called doing your due diligence. Aquapung. You can't just call and go, I want to switch. You gotta know this place sucks. I gotta put in my paperwork and six to nine months, even a Year later you transfer. But you can't, you have to be more observant and aware. Like all of a sudden you can't have a bad day and go, I hate this place. Like, go back to school, start your, start online courses, get a degree in something, then get an entry level position. And yeah, you're probably going to take a pay cut because you did 10 years in an industry and you're being awarded with that money. And then you switch industries, you're going back down to the absolute beginner level and you are going to get paid accordingly. But that at the end of the day, it's not the world's fault. And I'm not talking about you, Aqua Pong. I'm just saying when people, it's not the world's fault that you dove into an industry and don't like it. That's, that's the world we live in. You, it's America. You have a chance to change it and it's going to be hard. But like Mike says, don't go buy the new trucks, don't go buy the house you can't afford. Don't, you know, don't spend an extravagant amount of money every month to where it's going to. Telling your wife, hey, we got to cut back is going to be.

[Mike]

Devastating. Did. Back and forth.

[Tyler]

Dude.

[Mike]

Huh? Don, Sean Ryan and Dan Crenshaw are going back and forth on YouTube. Rant or. Yeah, Facebook.

[Tyler]

Reels. Sean Ryan and what's Dan Crenshaw basically.

[Mike]

Saying? Sean Ryan's a liar. I can still make this flight if you want to do this. I got proof, blah, blah, blah. But obviously they were supposed to do it today, so it's not.

[Jimmy]

Happening. But hey, man, we have left the soft bro.

[Tyler]

Drama.

[Mike]

Yeah. Now we're into the.

[Jimmy]

Police. We got our own drama.

[Tyler]

Now. Yeah, look at.

[Jimmy]

Me. We're the soft bros.

[Tyler]

Now. Jimmy, you bring that flag back with.

[Jimmy]

You? No, but I do have one in my house that I did bring back with.

[Tyler]

Me. Are you still eating, Jimmy? I was waiting for.

[Mike]

It. I was waiting for.

[Tyler]

It. I mean, my six year old, when I say, don't eat that, and he starts eating and I have to go, well, he is 6 and his brain's about this big. Then I have to tell him, slide it away from you so you don't feel tempted to eat it.

[Jimmy]

After. Dad, dude, I'll be honest with you. I, I did, I, I, I put the cheeseburger away and I just left the fries next to me. And I wasn't even thinking about the Fact that I was putting them in my.

[Mike]

Mouth. Step away from the.

[Tyler]

Cheeseburger. I'm not even blaming you because I know you weren't. You weren't meaning to do it. It's French fries sitting there. The human reaction is to eat them. I just thought maybe broadcasting might be priority for 20.

[Jimmy]

Minutes. No, no, you're absolutely.

[Tyler]

Right. Clinton says you hold the flag every night. That flag is actually really big, white, and it's very. So I don't even know how we would transport it. We would have to put it in, like, the back of a.

[Mike]

Truck. Smart. Is that.

[Tyler]

Heavy? Now we're doing a hard bro drama. No, we're.

[Jimmy]

Not. No, I.

[Tyler]

Don'T. Jimmy feels like even conflicted telling the Marcus Atrell story, but it's relevant to. It's relevant to what you're talking about on Shadow Cat, so I get it. Dan Crenshaw is. Is on. Cleared Hot Today by Andy.

[Jimmy]

Stump. Don't.

[Mike]

Care. I got another song I gotta.

[Jimmy]

Write. I, I, I couldn't care less about the fact that. Fact that the seals have problems with each other. And I mean, the, the. It's Dan Kenchaw. The only reason we are bringing up Dan Crenshaw and not Nancy Pelosi or Elon Omar or any of these other people is because he was in the military and he was a Navy seal. I care more about. I care less about Dan Crenshaw. Insider trading. I care a lot more about Chuck Schumer and all these that have been up there for 40 goddamn years that do better than anybody else at trading stock and are almost billionaires. I care about that because that's intrinsic to the system. So, I mean, Crenshaw is a drop in the bucket compared to.

[Tyler]

That. Yeah. Did Crenshaw see any combat.

[Jimmy]

Time? Yeah, that's how I got his eye blown.

[Tyler]

Out. Oh, duh. Never mind. That's a stupid.

[Jimmy]

Question. Yeah, he. He got. I, I.

[Tyler]

Think. I think that this thinks you were mad at her, Jimmy. Liz thinks you're mad at her for bringing it.

[Jimmy]

Up. No, no, I'm not mad. I'm not mad at you, Liz. I'm mad at everybody that, like, you know, like, oh, we gotta care about this more. Lunch with Jimmy. What are you laughing at.

[Mike]

Mike? I'll live a clip, dude. Cooking in the trap. You.

[Jimmy]

Know, I wish, I wish I could tell you that, like, I do this on purpose just for the laughs. I don't. But then once it happens, I'm like, you know, this is actually pretty funny. And I'll be honest with you like, I'm running.

[Mike]

Character.

[Tyler]

Yeah. It's a fine line of not it being yourself and then also knowing that, like, okay, like, obviously, we can't be ourselves. 100. I would be. You know, but, like, me. Me being myself might be in itself, you being yourself. It actually creates a lot of. What do you call that? Genuine. It's.

[Mike]

Genuine. It's like. It's like Beetlejuice on Howard.

[Tyler]

Stern. Like, and then you can find. Then you can fine tune it to where it's entertaining based off of your. What you want it to be. Be like. You can be entertaining based off of, like, Like, I. Like. Like, for instance, like, Mike's tiny little legs. If it really bothered Mike, I don't think Mike would let us make fun of his tiny little chicken legs. But it doesn't bother him. And to each their own, everybody. I mean, we can't be perfect.

[Jimmy]

Nothing. But I mean, like, you know, like. Like Lily's spoken in the trap. Right? Like, I. I. That was obviously not.

[Mike]

Pointed. Planned top. Top moments of.

[Jimmy]

2025. I mean, but it's like, okay, you know, like, why don't we just lean into this? It's like, obviously, I didn't want the McDonald's to show up until 1245, and it just showed.

[Mike]

Up. But here's. Here's what. Here's what happens in my mind, though, because I watch it, and I see Jimmy puts a cheeseburger away, and then I watch Jimmy take fries, and I'm like, I start to get excited because I know Tyler is going to see it at some point. So if you watch me, before that happened, I kind of kicked back, and I'm like, this is. It's coming. Like, I know it's coming. I'm not gonna say anything about it. And then Tyler melts down. It's. It's. It's. It's good. And then Tyler's analogies are very.

[Jimmy]

Good. Yeah.

[Mike]

And. And that's where I solved that mystery, because the trash can's full of McDonald's now I know where it's coming.

[Jimmy]

From.

[Mike]

Yeah. Dude, Tyler was. I thought Tyler was cheating. Cheating on the. On the.

[Jimmy]

Diet. But, I mean, like, I'm. I'm. I'm gonna be honest with you, Mike. I'm enjoying this McDonald's where I can, because here, very shortly, I'm going back to the old diet that I used to have. And, like, I ain't gonna be eating this.

[Mike]

No. What is that? Gunpowder and nails? What does that consist.

[Jimmy]

Of? No, it's. It's gonna Be shell casings for breakfast? No, it's gonna be fish and chicken and red meat and eggs and rice and, you know, like, back to the. That I used to eat when I was like, you know, when I was.

[Mike]

Actually. When the medium shirt.

[Jimmy]

Fit. Yeah, well, actually, the medium shirts didn't fit. I was the same size. I just wasn't.

[Tyler]

Fat. Are you going to do. Are you going to do, like, working out and.

[Jimmy]

Cardio? Yeah.

[Tyler]

Obviously.

[Jimmy]

Yes.

[Tyler]

That's. Oh, I didn't know some people diet and they.

[Mike]

Don'T. Thursday workouts, man. Thursday at the.

[Jimmy]

Gym. So for those of you that don't know, I. Because of the lung issues that I had, I went from a job that was paying me 35 an hour and on top of my disability to I couldn't do that job anymore. I couldn't physically do it, and I got laid off. Low.

[Tyler]

Voltage. Oh, oh, the lat. The. Yeah.

[Jimmy]

Yeah. The low voltage stuff. So you want to talk about taking a. A pay cut and going to zero? That was me. And we struggled, man. We are. We are pulling ourselves out of the hole currently. So one of the things that I had to do was do I want to pay 35 bucks a month for the gym and the gas to drive to and from the gym every day and all the extra money that I was spending to buy the good food that I want, or do I want to feed my children and keep the lights on? I had to make some decisions. They were not. They were not fun decisions to make, but I had to.

[Tyler]

Make. I think. I think eating fast food and is probably just as expensive as buying healthy.

[Jimmy]

Food. I don't. I don't eat the fast food. That the only time I'm eating fast food is when I'm here. Like, because I. That's why I remember I had the chicken nuggets and everything in the back.

[Tyler]

Right. So it's your kid's fault that you're not in.

[Jimmy]

Shape. No, it's. It's the fact that I got laid.

[Tyler]

Off. I was gonna go to Crunch Fitness, but it's your fault. I have to feed.

[Jimmy]

You.

[Tyler]

No. Can we do it? Can we do a team.

[Mike]

Crunch? Yeah, it's like I just signed up. 24 bucks a month, something like that. I think my business doesn't even. Let me bring some fucking.

[Jimmy]

Crunch. No, I'm going to go. Go get back into Crunch Fitness. That's what I'm gonna do. Like, I've already had that conversation. We're at the point now where we can go, like, hey, we can make this work, because I'm gonna. I'm gonna be real with you guys, man. Like, I was, like, one missed payment away from getting my truck repossessed. Like, I was struggling and still make. You know, Like, I didn't want to tell you guys, because I was just like, nope, I'm just gonna keep my head down and keep going. There's nothing you guys could do anyway. Everybody else was struggling too, so.

[Mike]

We probably didn't notice if you started walking to the studio. Yeah, Like, Jimmy left Monday. He's gonna be.

[Tyler]

Here. He finally.

[Jimmy]

Here. Yeah. So, I mean, like, I. One of the. We're now at a point now where we're. We're getting. Getting everything back and squared away, and I can start going to the gym, and I can start eating the food that I want, and I can do. I can do all of that, and I. And I desperately want to, because I look in the mirror every day and I hate myself. Like, I go, I'm fat. What the hell just happened? There we go. I'm fat. I'm disgusting. I'm out of shape. What. What the Is wrong with.

[Tyler]

Me? Clinton says the front leading rest is.

[Jimmy]

Free. Jimmy, you're not. You're not.

[Tyler]

Wrong. Take it low and take and slow. Jimmy, you keep going. Yeah, that's a positive comment. Thanks, Mac the driver always hawk tuners in it anyway. I have no idea what that means. Elvis makes.

[Jimmy]

Me. I don't.

[Mike]

Know. I don't.

[Tyler]

Care. Oh, that person's animal says, you look like Elvis. Crunch Fitness. These chips, my.

[Jimmy]

Mouth, dude. I'm gonna tell you what. I'm gonna tell you what. I. I love the hate. Bring on the hate. Because in six months, when. When I'm back to where I used to be and I'm like, look at my legs. Look at Mike's legs. Look at the gut that I don't have. I. I'm gonna rub it all in everybody's face, and I'm gonna be like, no, I'm not trying to get a raise from Tyler. I don't need one. In fact, I. Never.

[Tyler]

Mind. He just said he was gonna rub it in my.

[Mike]

Face. Oh.

[Jimmy]

Boy. No, not you. The guys in the comments that are like, oh, you know, you're fat. You're eating McDonald's. It's like.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Oh, no. Those guys are just busting your.

[Jimmy]

Balls. Yeah, I know. And I'm busting them.

[Mike]

Back. Why is Crunch Fitness gay? Elaborate. I'm.

[Jimmy]

Interested. Yeah, don't go.

[Tyler]

There. I'll go. She put it.

[Mike]

On. You gotta. You gotta substantiate.

[Tyler]

Your. Your.

[Mike]

Your. Your claims. Just like we called Tobias.

[Jimmy]

Out. Mike, I'm telling you.

[Mike]

What. Because.

[Tyler]

There'S. I want to.

[Mike]

Know. I go to Anytime Fitness. There's a Crunch, the only gym close enough to the places. Crunch or Planet. I went to Planet. It sucks. So my other options are not work out at all or go to Crunch Fitness. So I'll go to Crunch.

[Tyler]

Fitness. Heather says Crunch Fitness is great. I've heard nothing but great things. Got his place. But Crunch Fitness is.

[Mike]

Awesome. So the. The Planet Fitness by the. Or by the studio is tiny, very small and miserable. The Crunch Fitness is two floors Crunch. Yeah, it's two. Two stories. Got a pool, got a huge locker room, and it's got all the free weights. The weights go up to like 140 on the dumbbells. And it's legit. And it's the only thing there. I did. I actually went to the Anytime Fitness in downtown. It took me like 20 minutes to get to the Anytime Fitness that I already had a membership at. That one was tiny as. As well.

[Tyler]

So Clint says we should have a studio gym. And I think the only thing we could have is like, a sledgehammer and a big tire out back. Like CrossFit stuff like a sled. We can do it. You know, stuff that's waterproof or, you know, I could sit in.

[Mike]

The. Dude, that gym is right. That Crunch is right next to Chipotle.

[Tyler]

Workout. Trying to work out for vanity. That's.

[Mike]

It. No, I work out for mental health. Mental health is most of.

[Jimmy]

It. I. I want. It's mental health. And on top of that, it's just like. Well, I mean, it almost goes in with mental health. Like when you look at yourself and you just hate yourself. Like, I just hate myself when I look at.

[Mike]

Myself. I've hated myself either way. No matter what I looked.

[Tyler]

Like. Yeah, I'm still fat no matter.

[Mike]

What. But I. I think it's very honorable. Jimmy. It's a tough. It's a.

[Tyler]

Tough. Don't tell.

[Mike]

Me. Been way out of shape. I've.

[Tyler]

Been. You got to do those big. Those big gyms because you can use it. Like Crunch Fitness, Anytime or Planet Fitness. If you get the right membership, you can use them anywhere that there's one. Yeah, we go on the road, right? We go on the road, we stop by a Crunch Fitness, we get our workout in. There's no excuses because Mikey is like a monster on the.

[Mike]

Road. And we went to. Where did we go? Philly. Somewhere else I went to at any time. Like I have it anytime. That's my home gym, Anytime Fitness, and there's plenty of them. But I think it's good if you want to start going on Thursdays. It's a good start. What I use it for is. That's the accountability part is like when I'm work, like, I. What I ate yesterday, Chipotle twice, light rice, double steak, nothing crazy. Didn't eat any donuts. I didn't eat anything bad. And that's because I know I'm working out. So it's like, that's the accountability is like, I'm not going to go eat like an. And then go work out in the gym. Go. That was.

[Tyler]

Useless. Are we gonna figure out why Crunch Fitness or Crunch Fitness is gay? Do.

[Jimmy]

We? I mean, I, I can tell you what, what I. I think that she's talking about with Crunch Fitness. Lily doesn't like Crunch Fitness because it's like every time she's walked in there, it's filled with like, Instagram.

[Tyler]

Thoughts. Is that why she doesn't want you to get.

[Mike]

Up? I mean, it shows Instagram. So we should delete that Instagram. Instagram's full of Instagram thoughts.

[Jimmy]

Too. Well, no, no, no, no. Remember when I first got on the show, I didn't have Instagram. Why do you think that is? I don't.

[Mike]

Know. Explain to us the.

[Jimmy]

Thoughts.

[Tyler]

Yes. Do you not have self control with Instagram.

[Mike]

Thoughts? Yeah. Do you pick them up like cheeseburgers or something? Do you.

[Jimmy]

Like. I can't help.

[Mike]

It. Yeah. I mean, you gotta go to the gym sometimes. You got to suck it up at the closest.

[Tyler]

Gym. It's just. It's. It's.

[Mike]

Easier. It is. It is. It is a commercial gym. I'll be honest with you. I go in there and there's people with the tripods and all that.

[Tyler]

But I throw myself when everybody's arms bigger than my torso. Yeah, it kind of.

[Mike]

Sucks. Those dudes in that Crunch Fitness are massive, man. I saw a dude with veins bigger than my arms. I'm like, Jesus Christ, at least put my hoodie on. Put my headphones.

[Tyler]

In. Post workouts in the Patreon. Yeah. Mike schooling us and, and working out. Oh, we can bring Matt and Mike there.

[Mike]

Then. That's a monster. Monster. It is a. And then there's a lot of rich people in that one too. I see like Lamborghinis pulling.

[Tyler]

Up. Yeah. The problem with Crunch Fitness isn't that the. It's. The problem with Crunch Fitness isn't the actual gym. It's the Crowd that typically goes. It's marketed towards people who want to be influencers. I want to look like an.

[Mike]

Influencer. But you can't. This goes back to the whole thing you just said about law enforcement, too. You don't let the influencers deter you from going to the gym because of.

[Jimmy]

What. Yeah, I.

[Mike]

Agree. That's like saying I'm not gonna go to Olive Garden because the servers serve pasta. Like, I'm gonna go.

[Jimmy]

Eat. You guys are making my point for me. I have been saying this, and I. I mean, like. But I. I gotta. Damn it.

[Tyler]

Jimmy. I.

[Jimmy]

Gotta. I gotta stop. I gotta stop. Lose my temper on some. I'm not on you guys. I'm about to lose my temper on somebody.

[Mike]

Else. Oh, watch out in the.

[Tyler]

Comments. Yeah, go for it.

[Mike]

Dude. No.

[Jimmy]

No. Because I have to go home to this.

[Mike]

Person. Mike is the. Oh, I tried to stop you from. Short of saying that. Jimmy, I'm here for.

[Tyler]

You. My bad. That was my bad. I. I thought it was like somebody in the comments comment, William says, get them gains. Jimmy, for real, brother. I'm all about that. And I believe in you. You got this, dude. Squad. We're gonna do squad workouts. Dude, that's gonna be dope. We're gonna make Matt go with us.

[Jimmy]

Too. Matt. I mean, Matt's gonna show us all up. Are you kidding.

[Mike]

Me? No, easy, easy, easy, easy. Don't under. Don't underestimate Uncle Mike. Don't underestimate Uncle.

[Tyler]

Mike.

[Jimmy]

Influencers.

[Tyler]

Influencers. Yeah, influencers. Oh, man, the chat's going crazy right now. Influencers. Olive Garden has all you can eat. Soup and salad. Yes, thank.

[Mike]

You. I'm going to the gym right after.

[Tyler]

This. Clint doesn't miss anything. Jimmy's mother in law. I don't even know what that is.

[Jimmy]

But he's right. He's absolutely.

[Tyler]

Right. Unfortunately, Planet Fitness has those damn lunk alarms. They get pretty. Jimmy doesn't do that. That's Jimmy. Not Lewis. Lewis. He never came into the.

[Mike]

Thing. You didn't send it to.

[Tyler]

Him? I did too. I texted it to.

[Mike]

Him. We got in trouble. Last.

[Tyler]

Night was one of my favorite guests. For the.

[Jimmy]

Emperor. Yes, for the emperor of Juliet.

[Tyler]

Whiskey. All right, I've gotta go, guys. We can end it now. The only reason why I gotta go because I made an appointment at 1 before we decided to do this, or we wouldn't have been able to do this. So now I'm not making appointments next week. Right.

[Mike]

[Tyler]
