Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Catching Up: Personal Updates & Banter (00:00–07:59)

• Sick Days and Family Drama:

  • Tyler details struggles with illness in his household; Mike talks about his son’s football injury and the unexpected cost and complications—“He’s got a piece of his knuckle, this part of the joint floating in there. He completely broke it off, and he has to get surgery on Tuesday for a finger.” (03:29)
  • Jokes about blue-collar family problems: lacrosse fees and issued/loaner gear being “for poor people.”

• Energy Check:

  • The group commiserates about the “long week” and recurring tech mishaps when trying to start Friday shows.

2. Viral Videos, Law Enforcement, and Policing Culture (07:59–30:11)

• Chiraq Videos/Bad Neighborhoods:

  • Tyler extols Mr. Guns & Gear, a gun YouTuber: “He’s switched gears to, like, you know, showing, like, bad things can happen out there. Plan accordingly. And holy—he’s dropped some bangers in the last three days.” (01:55)
  • They watch and dissect viral clips of gangs in Chicago, debating who “the leader” in a crowd is and referencing personal field experience.
  • Quote: “If I was a sniper […] you can tell by the way that other people around them react to them […] If I was looking at that group […] that’s the one I would shoot. I would shoot him first.” (20:41, Tyler)

• Old School Policing vs. Now:

  • Mike and Jimmy reminisce on ways of “keeping the peace” through relationships with neighborhood OGs and use of informants, contrasting it to today’s lawless, fatherless environments.
  • Notable: “20 years ago […] there was still a time where there were neighborhoods that cops just don’t go into much. […] When the emergency services came in, they didn’t f*** with them. […] Now, it’s lawlessness, savagery, animalistic, fatherless behavior. And there’s no rules anymore.” (24:28, Mike)
  • On switching from barter-and-respect to today’s “jitterbugs” (very young, violent gang members): “The OGs became very scared of that young generation […] They’ll kill you, they’ll kill you dead. Hasn’t even developed yet.” (28:39, Jimmy)

• Upcoming Guest Teasers:

  • Danny Torres, the police officer who arrested Tyreek Hill, will join the show to share his unfiltered account post-retirement—“I want to see him go off the rails. He seems like obviously somebody who will.” (10:41, Jimmy)

3. Community Engagement & Discord Culture (30:11–50:00)

• Audience Shout-outs & Donations:

  • Regular fans send monetary support for Tyler’s son post-surgery; playful callouts about supporting the hosts with pizza money and gear purchases.

• Discord Campaigns:

  • Discussion of the growing Discord server community—random tagging campaigns to get “Uncle Mike” more active in chatrooms: “There’s a guerrilla warfare campaign for Uncle Mike to get into Discord. They’re just going to start randomly tagging you.” (14:12, Tyler)
  • Playful confusion and jokes about Discord, “gifs” and chatroom roles:
    • “I don’t know what I’m doing when I open it, but I opened it.” (14:09, Jimmy)
    • “That’s where I’m at, yeah.” (46:43, Jimmy)

• Gaming, Streaming & Content Creation:

  • Excitement about building gaming programming and intros for the network.
  • Bids for involvement in online gaming: “People want Mike to go in there and be a SWAT team leader and go, okay guys, we’re going to play ready or not, and I’m going to plan this out for you.” (43:02, Tyler)

4. Policing Ethics & Culture Wars (50:00–83:24)

• Police Culture, Corruption, and the “Free Coffee” Dilemma:

  • Talk of old “give and take” between cops and communities; acknowledging how “community policing” is now often labeled as corruption.
  • “They told us in the academy, do not ever take a free coffee. […] Because […] that starts a chain reaction to where your judgment is now, what is proper and what is not, as far as utilizing your power.” (30:34, Mike)
  • Tyler: “To me the ultimate goal of the police is about keeping the peace for peaceful people, right?” (27:49)

• On Tribes & Prejudice:

  • Deep dive into cultural tribalism and political manipulation of diversity: “Somewhere along the way, everybody told you two things. Diversity is our strength. And if you don’t like diversity, you’re a racist.” (82:12, Tyler)
  • “Survival instinct within humans to not like or want to be around people or groups that don’t look like them is a survival mechanism from way back.” (80:01, Tyler)

5. NASCAR Madness (83:24–112:29)

• Racing Lore, Culture, and Childhood Nostalgia:
  • Extended segment on NASCAR, especially the Earnhardt legacy.
  • Mike and Jimmy recall Dale Sr's Daytona win and his passing, underlining the cultural impact:
    • “His last act was to push those two cars to the lead. So […] his best friend’s gonna win, his son is in second place, and he dies as they’re crossing the finish line. Like, dude, it’s like you can’t even make that story up.” (107:03, Jimmy)
    • “That was my first day in FTO. I graduated the academy. My first shift was February 18, 2001. The first shift was the day he died.” (104:07, Jimmy)
  • Playful riffs on modern NASCAR radio chatter, rivalries, and “fights in the pits.”

6. Aliens, Faith, and Theories (112:44–116:15)

• ‘Aliens’ in the News:

  • Trump’s statement asking for UFO document declassification is met with skepticism and amusement.
  • “Even if they come out and go, yep, aliens are real, it doesn’t change anything about my faith at all.” (115:12, Tyler)
  • “We are the aliens. How about that? That’s my theory.” (114:26, Jimmy)

• Faith, War, and Philosophy:

  • Wrap-up on the implications of discovery of aliens and the group’s tendency to process the world as warfighters: “You cannot get in trouble spiritually for killing aliens. They were not created in the image of God.” (115:49, Tyler)

Tone and Energy

The show runs casual, unscripted, and unapologetically blue-collar. The dialogue is candid and sometimes politically incorrect, filled with inside jokes about policing, veterans, southern sports culture, and internet community. The banter is often raw, forthright, and peppered with dark humor and the authentic mutual ribbing of men who have spent years in tight-knit “tribes” (policing, military, blue-collar communities). The hosts frequently break the fourth wall to interact with live listeners, comment on each other’s technical setup, and riff off Discord chat in real time.

---

For New Listeners

If you’re interested in the lived experience and raw opinions of police, first responders, and blue-collar America—with a heavy dose of real talk, irreverent humor, sports nostalgia, community-building, and sidebars into everything from Discord culture to aliens to NASCAR—this episode delivers. There are plenty of viral video breakdowns, personal war stories, and heated debates about how policing, communities, and entertainment have changed—and which good old ways should be remembered.

Upcoming

• Guest: Danny Torres, the retiring officer known for the Tyreek Hill arrest, joins next Thursday for an unfiltered post-retirement conversation.
• More Gaming and Community Streams: Expansion of Counterculture Network’s Discord and gaming-focused shows.
• Merch: Frequent shilling of signature hats, shirts, and “antihero” gear—"We’ve got shirts on our site for like 15 bucks right now.” (52:39, Mike)

[Jimmy]

Oh, no. We are here. Just you and I. Yeah, me and you.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jimmy]

I'm not rounding off any ads, either. That's not my job.

[Tyler]

I was gonna say, like, don't we have to talk about, like, ghost Bed or something?

[Jimmy]

We should. We should, but. Well, we'll wait for the man. We'll catch up, because I don't have. I don't have the. I don't have the. Yeah. Five million. Five star. Billion.

[Tyler]

Reading and reviews.

Your fever's better, though.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Yeah. I'm drinking that electrolyte water crap. There you go.

[Jimmy]

Swap that out. Vodka, man. You'll start feeling better.

[Tyler]

Well, I mean, it was one of those things, you know, like when you're. You know, when a lot of fluids are leaving your body in both directions.

[Jimmy]

Oh, boy.

[Tyler]

You might want to make sure. Yeah, you might want to make sure you're. You're bringing it back in. Hold on.

[Jimmy]

Hold on.

[Tyler]

Yeah, so I look. Yeah, I don't have as bad of a parlor.

[Jimmy]

Jimmy, I hope you'll feel better. You're not. You're not supposed to do both sides.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Jimmy]

Let's get the politically incorrect out of the way early.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jimmy]

So what. What'd you think of the. The shy rack stuff? Man, you're pumping out some good. I followed that page back. I guess that page actually follows me. So I. I downloaded that video, and so.

[Tyler]

He's huge, dude. Mr. Guns and Gear is. He's a gun tuber. He's a2a guy. I've been following him pretty much since 2016. Yeah, former. I think he was Air Force security forces. And he has sort of switched gears to, like, you know, showing, like, bad things can happen out there. Plan accordingly.

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

And holy, like, has he dropped some bangers in the last three days?

[Jimmy]

Yeah, he followed me, and I didn't. I followed back this morning. I didn't know he followed me. And he's got some good stuff.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Good morning, Tyler.

[Mike]

Can you guys hear me here?

[Jimmy]

Yeah. We didn't do any ads because we got caught off guard, so.

[Mike]

Did you even do the.

[Tyler]

Cool.

[Mike]

Good morning.

[Jimmy]

No, no, no.

[Tyler]

We just. We both showed up, like, disembodied heads. We were like.

[Mike]

Yeah, my bad. I realized I didn't have my mic plugged up.

[Jimmy]

All right. Good morning. Welcome to another edition of the anti hero broadcast. It is Friday, Casual Friday, brought to you by ghostbay.

[Tyler]

Oh, wow, man.

[Mike]

I was at the hospital because my son. My son caught a football in recess 10 days ago. Came home, he's like, I jammed my finger. And he's like, but I can move it. I'm like, it ain't broke, dude, if you can move your finger. He's like, it just hurts when I go like this. When I touch it, I'm like, it. It's probably just a, you know, jam. Just, you know. So the weekend goes by, and he shows me again on Monday, and it's completely like this, the whole finger. So we go to get X rays or urgent care. It's broke. So of course they're like, well, you have to go to an orthopedic surgeon, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon to look at it. We go there thinking he's just gonna be like, yeah, it's a finger, dude. Just put it in brace. Go on about your life. He's got a piece of his knuckle. This part of the. I don't know what this is called, the joint floating in there. He completely broke it off, and he has to get surgery on Tuesday for a finger. So there's that. I plugged up when I got here.

[Tyler]

Dude, that's. I mean, first of all, good on your boy for toughing out through the pain.

[Mike]

I mean. Yeah, well, the shitty part. We just paid 400 for him to. This is the white person problem. We just paid 400 for him to play lacrosse. He started the season three weeks ago, and he's gonna be out for the rest of the season.

[Tyler]

Damn.

[Jimmy]

Get a rebate.

[Mike]

I don't know if that works like that. Most of the people there are, are rich folk, if you know what I mean. Lacrosse is a, I remember when I went to, when I was talking to him about playing this first year, he wants another sport to do outside of football to, and I won't let him play football year round because it's psychotic. So he shows us. And I was talking to the coordinator and he's like, yeah, we have, if he, you know, if he doesn't have gear, we have loaner gear. And I'm like, you mean issued equipment? And he's like, no, like loaner gear. And his tone was like, for poor people that can't afford lacrosse. I'm like, I was like, dude, he played football. Like they gave him pads like so. But you know, all the, the kids that are the best at football might not be in the most financially secure spot to buy all the pads. So lacrosse is definitely a different demographic of people. Yeah.

[Jimmy]

You don't say.

[Tyler]

Yeah, well, I, I, I'm guessing that they're not throwing up gang signs and, and holding up in the cross.

[Mike]

Yeah, when they're the cross stick,

[Jimmy]

it could be, dude.

[Mike]

$10 present for Tyler's son so he can feel better after surgery. Thanks, Liz. That's very nice of you. I appreciate it. Get some more of these comments. We got another one. November Flag five Fun tickets for Casual Friday. Appreciate it, bro. Did I miss anything?

[Jimmy]

Friday's a long, it's a long week.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Dude, I feel bad, dude. I was late. Didn't have my mic set up.

[Jimmy]

Didn't have my yesterday too.

[Mike]

Oh, that's weird. Is it just Fridays?

[Jimmy]

Is it just. Oh, it's Thursdays too, huh? Malfunction, malfunction, malfunction.

[Tyler]

Now I know what you're talking about.

[Mike]

How you feeling, Jimmy? You fever down?

[Tyler]

I'm, I'm better. Ish. I mean, I'm not 100, but I'm, I'm, I don't have a deathlike polar anymore and my fever's down, so. It broke sometime around 3 o' clock this morning.

[Mike]

You know, you know when you go ahead.

[Tyler]

What's that?

[Mike]

Go ahead?

[Tyler]

Oh, you know when you like, you could feel it break when all of a sudden you just start like, you're like, bang. And then you just start sweating.

[Mike]

Yeah. So. Yeah. Did you see Mike's coughing fit last night? He took your spot. He had a spell for like 40 minutes. He couldn't stop coughing.

[Jimmy]

I don't know what the happened, dude.

[Tyler]

Dude, no, I, I saw, I, I watched some of it. Obviously I was, I was on the phone for part of it with an unexpected but very cool phone call that wasn't about the discord. It had nothing to do with it,

[Mike]

you know?

[Jimmy]

Yeah, it.

[Tyler]

It was discord business, guys. Yeah, no, no, it wasn't that, but it was.

[Mike]

I mean.

[Tyler]

Yeah. So it's. It's somebody that I want to. I want to bring them on both or the Shadow Cat. I don't know how it's gonna work. He's a current battalion commander right now an infantry battle commander. He's getting ready to retire.

[Mike]

And those are the guys that want to talk. They want to blow the roof off the place once I'm retired.

[Tyler]

Yeah. So he's very, very, very sharp dude. And he's not gonna make general. And so it's like it. You know what I mean? I'm not gonna talk about him because I want him to come on because he's got some really interesting stuff. And he was on the ground for the pull out from hk, so.

[Mike]

For what?

[Tyler]

For. For the. The Afghanistan pull up.

[Mike]

Oh, cool.

[Jimmy]

He was.

[Tyler]

He was an operations officer in the 82nd Airborne. For the pull out.

[Jimmy]

The pull out.

[Mike]

Jay Saner from the uk. Malfunction should be a T shirt.

[Jimmy]

Do you want to.

[Tyler]

Go ahead, Tyler?

[Jimmy]

Do you want to talk about our. You want to keep it quiet this rest of this week or who our guest is going to be next? Who we're gonna have on next week?

[Mike]

No, we can tell them. I think that's really cool.

[Jimmy]

Let me load it up.

[Mike]

He's gonna be a quick like 20 minute segment on Thursday.

[Tyler]

Oh, very cool.

[Jimmy]

So if you want to hold on.

[Mike]

Is there more Chirac videos?

[Jimmy]

Yeah, I brought one. Just hold on. It's the same place. Share screen Miami. There you go. And whenever you want to load it, tell me when it's up. So Danny Torres, is the famous Tyler connected to him forever? The famous cop who arrested Tyree Kill. Tyler made the poster. The real went over 5 million views. I believe he has retired. He took a shot at. At Tyree Kill. I guess it took a bit, but karma got you. Now that I'm retired, I can tell you how I feel about you. You are an entitled and an embarrassment to the seam in the city. Kissed your ass. I wish you the best and hope you were able to afford all your child support. Especially now that you're unemployed. I'm sure someone will pick you up and you will cause havoc in their city and. And team and city just how you did.

[Tyler]

Jesus Christ.

[Jimmy]

By the way.

[Tyler]

Next.

[Jimmy]

Next time, roll your window down. So We. I, I re. I reached out to Danny Torres and he will be on the show next Thursday to give his account and it's pretty interesting. Another law enforcement site commented almost on everything we do. Basically was saying he's a cop and he should even maintain his copness in his prefer even after he retires and not speak like this. I have it saved. I'm gonna let him. I'm gonna let him react to that real time because I want to see him go off the rails. He seems like obviously somebody who will.

[Tyler]

But.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, there's a page. Let me find it real quick. I'm not going to pop the page, but we will talk about it. There was a page that posted and I'll give you a kind of a quote about what they said.

[Mike]

Their.

[Jimmy]

Their caption reads, there's a quiet. There is a quiet reality about this profession. When someone takes on an oath and wears the badge forever changes how the world sees them. That perception does not disappear when the badge comes off. A retired police officer may be a private citizen. That is legally true. But symbolically, the public often see uniform oath and, and authority. Every profession carries culture. Every culture carries reputation. Every public statement contributes to both. Basically saying that he's wrong for speaking out now.

[Tyler]

So. Well, I guess that means that you're wrong for.

[Jimmy]

For everybody here. Yeah, everybody here is wrong. We're supposed to. I guess I'm supposed to go out my driveway, turn my computer on every morning at 6am and drive around and stay. You know what the job.

[Tyler]

Mike, you should have just not taken that obedience chip out of the back, man. That would have solved a lot of your problems.

[Jimmy]

I didn't. I talked to Torres briefly yesterday and he's absolutely 100 in the timing. I wanted him yesterday or today, but the timing of a newly retired cop. He's busy doing.

[Mike]

Cool.

[Jimmy]

So we'll have him on Thursday and he will get his account and let him react to that post based on what he cares.

[Mike]

I'm gonna see if one day, if we meet him, if he'll sign that poster. And then I'm gonna take it from

[Jimmy]

my son not far away. Yeah, he's close. We can get him. We can get that done. He's not. He's only a couple hours from the studio. A little too far to have him in. But do we wanna. Do we wanna.

[Tyler]

We want to rotate the days so

[Jimmy]

that's the only days available.

[Tyler]

No, I know. I'll be in Wednesday and out Thursday.

[Mike]

No, he's only coming on for like 20 minutes. He's just doing it. Yeah, yeah. He's not a guest. He's not doing a Wednesday guest.

[Jimmy]

No, he's not Wednesday guest. He's. He's a Thursday. Popping in because I didn't want to bother. He's one of those guys, like, you reach out and you can tell he's like, yeah, I see. Cool. But, like, I'm busy. Like, I'm pretty busy being retired, so, you know, I get. I got the same. When I reached out to Papi Damiani that was on Cops that said, don't call me Poppy. I got him to respond twice. He just didn't seem interested in coming back on and. And putting his face back on tv.

[Mike]

Jimmy, do a test. I can't hear you. I need to know if anybody else can hear you.

[Tyler]

Check, check, check, Check.

[Mike]

Got you now. All right. Hey, 20 bucks. I just don't want to forget about these. More money for Tyler's son. Forgot how expensive stuff is. Thank you, Liz. That's really nice. Everyone is looking beautiful this morning. Thank you, brother. $10.

[Tyler]

Hey. Hey. He's. He's doing the job right now, so.

[Mike]

Oh, is he the chode Zillow?

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike]

I think I've talked to him before. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw.

[Jimmy]

When I opened Discord this morning, I. That was. The first name I saw in the chat was Toadzilla, I believe.

[Mike]

He's.

[Jimmy]

I don't know what I'm doing when I open it, but I opened it.

[Tyler]

Well, people are. They. There's a. There's a guerrilla warfare campaign for Uncle Mike to get Uncle Mike into the Discord. They're just going to start randomly tagging you.

[Jimmy]

So there. I'm on it.

[Tyler]

So you get alerts to come in, like, I don't know what to do

[Jimmy]

once I'm in there. It looks like another line. It looks like. It looks like some. Lewis would speak in his head when I open it.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's. It's. It's not that bad.

[Jimmy]

I opened it now, and I got Ric Flair and Stone Cold Steve Austin dancing around.

[Mike]

Take a look, Mr. Fox. 89. Is that how you say that? Guys, Fox.

[Jimmy]

Mr. Fox. Michelle Fox.

[Mike]

Michelle Fox. Get some pizza on me. Fellas, feed Lewis so he stays focused on the show.

[Jimmy]

But we get three pieces of pepperoni. With that money.

[Mike]

You get some pepperoni. That's it. No pizza.

[Jimmy]

Maybe we should just buy our own. Buy our own, like, roll of pepperoni, order the pizza, then we can just chop it up. Pepperoni, and then smack it on.

[Mike]

All right, you want to put a Whole pizza in the microwave.

[Jimmy]

No, no, you missed what I said. Bring the pizza piping hot. Chop the pepperoni up, microwave the pepperoni in our microwave, and then throw it on the pizza.

[Mike]

Oh, okay, got it.

[Jimmy]

Save us. Save us fifty bucks for a. For a three dollar roll of pepperoni. What's pepperoni? It's like processed meat.

[Mike]

I don't even know. It's pork. Yeah, it's probably just leftover seasoned.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, it's been hanging out in some. Somewhere for you.

[Mike]

It's the. They scrape off the butcher floor and then turn into pepperoni. Nick Prowl, 2 5. Oh, Nick. For Tyler's kid and. And Mike's covet shot. Good to see Mike didn't die last night. Big Mike. Where'd you get that hoodie?

[Jimmy]

Sig. Actual site. My wife. Nick is a. Hey, Nick's a big supporter. He's already placed two orders in the Cottville page.

[Mike]

Yeah, you probably already have your stuff, Nick.

[Jimmy]

We had a little. No, he. He already got the cockfield stuff. He actually texted me because he didn't have it. And I guess I don't get. I check my mailbox. I'm an old guy. He's like, yeah, I never checked the mailbox because the hat came in a box and the T shirt comes in

[Mike]

a bag and because it's from two separate places. Two. Two shipping, I guess.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jimmy]

And then. So he didn't check the mailbox for the shirt, but then he ordered again last night. So I'm like, dude, this guy's great, man.

[Mike]

If you order from counterculturing threads, you get them all in one package. It's pretty.

[Jimmy]

Yeah. It probably takes about three weeks for a Tyler to put the order together and ship it. But you will get it all together at some point, Nick.

[Mike]

I have a reel, actually, with you. We did that. I will drop probably this afternoon. Talking.

[Jimmy]

When we.

[Mike]

When he came on, we talked about the. The social workers and stuff coming on the job.

[Jimmy]

And for those that don't know, Squealer bought our pizza last night. And when I went to pick it up, it was under the name Joe Bondino. John Tavius, whatever. And the lady's like, you're not allowed to take this unless you're John Tavius. Joe Bundino, whatever.

[Mike]

I guess that's gonna be a good reel, right? Everybody knows Friday night's my real, real making night, so I'm gonna pump out, like, non AI reels. These are reels that are handcrafted by me, dude. The real one.

[Tyler]

Me in my. In My fever dream haze. I watched that part where I was like, first of all, I'm just happy that I got a video that got Mike watched.

[Jimmy]

Because your reaction, you got another one too. I got a new Instagram page. I'm getting ready to start. Go ahead, play it. Play. These are. I believe this is.

[Mike]

Oh, I know where this is at. This is in a nice suburban town in Massachusetts.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, this is right outside mit.

[Mike]

The. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They know. They know what's going on.

[Tyler]

We got from 85th mes all the

[Mike]

way down to 85th. Really doing anything over 25. We find it up, you come our way. It's more than 150. No, none with hiccups. My big brother nightmare though, you know that? You know what we should do? We should actually find out who these people are and be like, yo, dude, that dude on the left, on the right in the blue, you know he's an informant for the police, right? And just watch them all turn on each other.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, I think you'd be. That's called conspiracy to commit murder.

[Mike]

I want to know who stands out to me. If I was going to deal with them, who I would pick? This is an honest. If there was no guns involved and I was walking up to this group people, this is who I would pick.

[Tyler]

I wonder how they're going to shoot those guns without.

[Jimmy]

They know.

[Mike]

They know what's going on.

[Tyler]

To do.

[Mike]

This gentleman right here in the. In the middle with the qb, he's actually got a fade. He's got a haircut which shows some kind. He has. This is sounds crazy, Jimmy. He has some sort of structure and discipline in his life.

[Tyler]

Everyone else in the exact same thing.

[Mike]

Everyone else has hair that they can't cut, that a girl braids for them.

[Tyler]

Or.

[Mike]

Or it's just a giant frizz ball. A lot of these kids, dude, don't. I'm dead serious. I've said this a million times. These kids don't know how to bathe themselves. They don't know that showering every day is part of routine hygiene. That's why they smell like an. And you're like, dude, you smell like you your pants. And I'm like, I'm not even sure they're like you. Cuz I'm like, dude, I'm not even trying to be real. Dude, I want you in my car. You smell like you yourself. Because they don't know how to wipe their own ass. But he just maybe a father figure.

[Tyler]

At one point I. So I looked at this very differently I looked at it as. As a sniper. When you are. I'm dead serious, you can lie.

[Mike]

None of us admit that.

[Tyler]

But okay, no, let me. Let me tell you what I'm talking about here, because once I explain it, you're going to be like, okay, that makes sense. When you were looking at a group of people, right, that don't know that you're looking at them, you can tell by the. Who is in charge very, very quickly by the way that other people around them react to them and the way that they talk and react to other people. Leaders love to point and no other how much it is the people that know that that guy's in charge, they give him deference. And you could see it when that guy was walking up like. Like, it was like, yo, this is the guy. So if I was looking at that group of people and I was a sniper, he's the one I would shoot. I would shoot him first.

[Mike]

I really don't know of a way to make that sound any better. I get what you're saying. You're saying, like, the professional lens that from an intel.

[Jimmy]

From an intel standpoint, yes.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Like, I'm not saying that that guy needs to die. I'm not. I'm not anything like that.

[Jimmy]

Well, he's obviously the only one with a chain. He's got two chains on. Everybody's gathered around. I mean, they're putting the guns to his chest. And not like. But think about that. You got a bunch of dudes just banging guns off your chest, trigger fingers everywhere, guns floating around. Like, I would not just the only one. The more reckless ones are the Arabs with the guns. When you see him accidentally, like, fire the AK and it goes all over the place and, like, blows his buddy's head off a foot away. Like, that's the only people I've seen

[Tyler]

more reckless with guns that I'm not worried about. Most of those guys with their AR pistols, not even a little bit. None of them had optics. None of them had iron sights. They're not hitting, they're just shooting.

[Mike]

Well, that's the. That's hood law. Hood law. And then says they're gonna hit everybody but their target. Unless it's a cop. Then they'll somehow, somehow in some way,

[Tyler]

shape or form, put it right through your eyeball.

[Mike]

Running, running, turn around, shoot backwards one shot and hit that cop in the femoral. And I know that's a cynical, dark joke, but for. For some reason, it feels like it always happens.

[Tyler]

Yes, I. Dude, dude, I. I look at those things I, I had a guy in my, in my unit. I know there it was. I had a guy in my, my platoon who came from Chicago. He was, he grew up down there in the hood. And I can't say his name because, you know, I want to. I don't want to put his business out there, but he was one of the best soldiers I had ever been around. And he, I would. He'd already been shot at. He'd been shot at most of his life. He didn't have any problems with it. And so, I mean, like, they make good soldiers. I was looking at Clint saying, I would pull up in the gov and put them all in the army. He's not joking.

[Jimmy]

I challenge it again. I want you to fix that right there. Fix that. Pull up and fix that.

[Tyler]

What did, what did Justin say?

[Mike]

Imagine, imagine the confusion while they were touching him with the guns. Like, yeah, they wouldn't know how, who shot who. They'd probably assume that they accidentally shot

[Tyler]

him and they'd scatter. That would be the first thing that happened. They would scatter it. Scatter like roaches. I. I have a black. Do you think cops even roll through that neighborhood?

[Jimmy]

No.

[Mike]

You?

[Jimmy]

No.

[Mike]

Nope.

[Jimmy]

Nope. Not unless you get a call. And even then, you're probably like, you're

[Mike]

going three, four deep.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, like, yeah, I drove through. There's probably no AVLs or vehicle location. You're like, yeah, unlike it.

[Mike]

Here's the difference between old hood and new hood. All right, I'm gonna speak for the cops. 20 years ago, there was still a time where there's neighborhoods that cops just don't go into much. Like you always say solder city. We just don't do it. They run their own. They don't. There was a time when if a murder, if a cops came into the neighborhood, they understood the cops aren't here to with us. They're going to granny's house or they're going to somebody's house. They actually, when they started street gangs, what in the 50s or 60s, they used to actually be protectors of the neighborhoods. And so when the emergency services came in, they didn't with them. Even cops. The cops come in, they must be here for a call for service. Now it's lawlessness, savagery, animalistic, fatherless behavior. And there's no rules anymore. Right?

[Jimmy]

And there was. So I'm going back to my time 20 years ago. And there was always a representative. There was like a OG in the area of like each section of the hood. I'll give you an example how that worked, we used to call them rock rentals. White guys go trade their car for crack. They give the drug dealer their car. The drug dealer gives them 100 worth of crack. They don't bring it back. We tell them it's civil. After so long, it's like, okay, it's been three days. You don't have your car back, some point it becomes stolen. Even though it's like, it's really not.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Jimmy]

So I would go in there and I would say, hey, dude. I'd go to the head guy, the hood corner guy, and I'd be like, look, bro, one of your boys has got this dude's car. They went ahead and reported it. Your boy's gonna get chased. We're gonna crash him. He's gonna get bit by a dog. Like, how about that car shows up behind the. The rooming house in the next two hours? All right, dog. I was like, okay. And I'm like, I'm not coming back. I'm gonna leave. I'm gonna go there. I wait about two hours. I pull up 1101, I got a man of stone vehicle behind the house, recover it, and that was that.

[Tyler]

There was some.

[Jimmy]

It didn't always work like that, but

[Tyler]

there were some rules.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Jimmy]

And that was the way of me saying, hey, man, I'm not gonna go snipe Your boy that's got the car. He's not going to catch a charge. He's got a gun. I'm sure he's got a warrant, whatever it may be. Make that car come back for me. You put. You get the car over there in that. In the corner over there. I won't mess with nobody. I get to do that here. Guys will sell more crack next week. You'll make your money again. Let's make this go. And that's. That's pretty much how it now on. On that massive Chicago level, I. It's gone. But in where I worked, there was enough respect still. This is probably 2005, 2006. I could still hold that conversation with the OG on the corner and be like, you know, make it happen for me, dude. And we kind of worked on a barter system. It was like, yep, the next time I see him driving on suspended, I'd be like, hey, man, you know, that's on me. That's on me this time. For that stone vehicle last week. Like, we're good. Like, let's make it happen.

[Tyler]

So that's kind of how that would

[Mike]

be construed as a corrupt police.

[Jimmy]

Correct.

[Mike]

As I really Think

[Tyler]

that's not. There's nothing corrupt about that though.

[Jimmy]

You just can't do it. You can't do it anymore. You know, my best informants were guys I stopped. I remember the best inform I ever had. Got stopped with 20 bags of crack and, and didn't go to jail. One of my canine buddies put the drugs in evidence, called me and said, this dude is going to do great things for you. I know it. Dude, that guy, I got a list of names attached to that dude. Now you can't do that. You can't let anybody go. You can't document them that way anymore. It's just the game has changed. Like Ted said, can.

[Tyler]

This is something that frustrates me because what you just described, how you were doing business is exactly the way it needs to get done. Crime's going to happen. Know crime's gonna happen. We can try to stop it all we want. But at the end of the day what is the. To me the ultimate goal of the police is about keeping the peace for peaceful people, right? And so if you making decisions that go, dude, like I, if I have to get into a chase with this guy, somebody's getting up, maybe some bystander, right? Like I'm making a decision that keeps the entire community safe. Does it get this one low level drug dealer off the street? Maybe, maybe not. But like I'm keeping everybody safe and I'm working within the system that exists within society. Am I wrong?

[Mike]

No. It's called police for a reason. You police, right? You police an area, you police it, you keep it in order.

[Jimmy]

That's just what, what happened was as the increase in numbers, as the, there was still a. Even 20 years ago. 20. The dad was still around. He might not be in the house, but dad was in the, like there was, it was still there. What happened was the influx in, in unfathered children continued. And now moms had three, four, five kids in like six years. And that generation that we're seeing now, what it has been raised, and I use the word raised very loosely, completely unruled. So what happened was the OGs, they're more worried about a 13 year old kid in the hood than they are the police anymore. Because the kid in the hood is 13, has zero rules. He'll kill you, he'll kill you dead. Hasn't even developed yet. He's going to kill you and go, oh, oh, I'll go to prison. I don't even know what prison is. Okay, cool. Like he's gone. So that even the OGs became very scared of that young generation of. They call them jitterbugs. Back when I was on there, these young jits, young jitterbugs came through completely unraised, un unruled, and they became scared of them. And it was like, we're out, dude. We're not with these young kids either.

[Tyler]

Can we call them Y ends? Are we allowed to call them.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, that's one word. I mean, yeah, I mean, it just. That's what their gang names were. But the. The Young jets of the generations, like, 20, 10, 11, 12, they were teenagers. That generation was it. They're the most dangerous people around, man. Like, they'll kill the. The OG on the corner. They'll shoot at the cop. They'll kill. They'll smack a woman around. They have no. No rules.

[Mike]

Yeah. Nick asks about what's the general consensus on the Baltimore gun trace task force scandal? So that was. I'm pretty sure that's the one that was made famous on hbo. Really good show. It's a miniseries. I don't think it's like an actual TV series, but it's like seven or eight episodes. It's got the. It's got the guy from Walking Dead, Shane. What's his name?

[Tyler]

Yeah, I know you're talking about.

[Mike]

And I honestly think things like that happen because they told us in the academy, do not ever take a free coffee. Because what that does is that starts a chain reaction to where your judgment is now, what is, what is proper and what is not, as far as utilizing your power. Right. So a free coffee. No, no, take it. Take the coffee. Take the coffee. And you're like, ah, dude, I'll pay for it, man. No, no, no, Take the coffee. They want you back. They want you over there. They want you coming back. So you're like, all right. And then it's like, oh, free meals, free this, free that. And then it. A lot of cops can stop it right there and go, I'm. I'm never asking for anything if it's given to you. But then, you know, and so you get into like, well, we're asked. We're a squad. We're asked to do an impossible task. We're asked by the mayor, from the chief to admin to. To handle this thing. We. You guys are our guys. You need to handle this. But it's really unmanageable. It can't be handled in the way that they want to shackle law enforcement's hands nowadays. So you have to think outside the box, and that's your Own judge of what's right and wrong. Right. Like what Jimmy might think is right to do. I might think that's wrong. And you can't get 10 people on the same page about that.

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And then eventually they start stealing money. Like 100. They're gonna start stealing money.

[Jimmy]

I mean, yeah, but there's a line there. There's a line there, there. That character that takes that money, he was flawed before. I think most of those guys are flawed, flawed before. You know, you get a free monster. Okay. Like, I used to get it in the hood. You go in the hood store in the middle of the hood, and the dude's behind the counter. You do like you said, take whatever you want, sir. Take any. Yeah, I get it. You take a monster. Like, appreciate it, dude. Like, you go to the counter, pay for it. I always set it down on the counter. I'm like, here you go, man. He's like, on me. I'm like, you sure? Yeah, but if they're gonna go to the forest taking money, they were. They were. They were crooked already. It just. They got a better opportunity to do it by being a cop. But that's the. That's the hood, man. That's the give and take. That's the. You're right. Those guys want you there. The store owner wants you there to keep the riff raff out of the parking lot. And like you said last night, the older black community, Grandma still wants the police. She wants to be able to go to the store. She doesn't want her car broken into every night. She doesn't want her tore up. But that is kind of. I've been there in a while, but I think that's. We're losing that. We're losing that generation. And now nobody wants the cops there.

[Tyler]

I can tell you that. Working at Racetrack, and I know they do this at Wawa too. We were told if. If LEOs come in, give them whatever they want. You know, within reason. You know, not. Not the scratchers. But it was like, hey, you know, like if you sat down, coffee or a donut, it was like, dude, freak, go.

[Mike]

Anything that didn't have an inventory. Like real. Like racetrack. While they don't give away energy drinks or candy bars. But if it's something that. Like donuts, there's no inventory. Like, there's no shrinkage for that. They'll give you.

[Jimmy]

You know, you go to, like, anything

[Tyler]

New York, anything out of the donuts. Any of the.

[Mike]

Oh, roller dogs, huh?

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yep. The empanadas and the jalapeno.

[Jimmy]

Cheese, man. The jalapeno cheese, dog, man. That thing is. That thing is it, dude, it's fire, dude. It hits at 3am man, you throw that. Two monsters and a roller dog. But you go to, like, New York. New York Police. You go to New York, dude, they don't pay for nothing. Like, I'm talking, like, full spread at the diner. They sit down in the diner at the corner, and they get a 30 breakfast. And it's. It's on the. We call it on the arm. It's on the arm, man. You don't pay for nothing.

[Mike]

Really.

[Jimmy]

You can go. Yeah, you can go in. Girl. I went to. Went to the. When? The first time I went to the 911 memorial, I was visiting up there, and I just walked up to a security guard. I'm like, hey, I'm cop from Florida visiting, sold out. He's like, no, it ain't sold out for you, dog. Come here. And he took me in the side door. Went right around the line. Thousands of people in line. He's like, there you go.

[Mike]

Florida got that treatment.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, they're. They're good to every cop. They're not. There's no. Like, then I felt bad because we treat. There's. People don't know that down here. They treat other cops like that. Throw the badge out or badge them. And they're like, what are you doing? You go to New York and pull your badge out. You go straight in the Mariton Square Garden. You go into the freaking memorial. You can go anywhere you want.

[Mike]

I want to take the wife to New York.

[Jimmy]

You got to go for, like, four. Four days is good. Go for, like, Thursday to Sunday. You can get all kids.

[Mike]

No kids. Just me and the wife.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, just take the kids.

[Mike]

There's nothing.

[Tyler]

There's not. I. I wouldn't. I. I've been there one time. My buddy Danny still lives up there. He's on Long Island. And he tells me I need to go out there all the time.

[Mike]

I would want to do, like, go see a FDNY firehouse or, you know, I would want to see. I would be the guy taking pictures with the NYPD car. Like. Like a dork.

[Tyler]

If you do go to New York. If you go to New York, Danny's in the fdny.

[Mike]

That'd be cool.

[Tyler]

Yeah, he is a. He's the. I got videos of him. Dude. He's the. He's the guy that teaches everybody how to do breach on. On these doors.

[Mike]

And we did. That's right. We. Me, you, Mike, Jojo, Heather. We all went to.

[Jimmy]

That was brief, though. That's.

[Mike]

We were in Jersey, and we went to a really badass pub, but. And we went to. Well, we went to the World Trade center. Where they were.

[Jimmy]

Yes. You gotta go. You got to go up to Times Square. You got to walk. Right. It's worth it, man. You got to see a Broadway show, too. They're unreal. Unreal. Broadway. You gotta go.

[Tyler]

Speaking of ground zero, can we talk about the picture last night, or do we have to keep that, like, is that sensitive, compartmentalized information?

[Mike]

What are you talking about?

[Tyler]

He likes to drink White Monster and tell store. Mike knows what?

[Jimmy]

What?

[Tyler]

The picture that you. We passed around.

[Jimmy]

Oh, no. Yeah, I'm not talking about that yet. The one I said.

[Mike]

Yeah. No.

[Tyler]

Oh, no, dude. I was trying to get a bigger problem out of that. I mean, like, I feel like I

[Mike]

didn't know what you're talking about. Dude. It's been such a long 36 hours for me, actually, just 24.

[Tyler]

Thursdays and Fridays, man. Thursdays and Fridays are always rough.

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I mean, Fridays. Thursdays are gonna have to get structured here, man, because we got. Hopefully, in theory, we got Pig in the Plug getting filmed in, what, April? Well, we're only four months behind. That's all right.

[Jimmy]

This dude can't get in the studio on time, and he's worried about my show, my third or fourth show on the network.

[Tyler]

Well, I think. I think by then I can. I can do that. I'll be set up enough to do it from here. I've already done it once. It's Proof of concepts done. I need a better microphone, and I need a less echoey room and everything else I have. Although I do love that once you

[Jimmy]

get the mic, you get the microphone and the headset, the echo won't matter. It won't echo if you're in here like this and talking like Mike on your podcast.

[Tyler]

I. I don't know. Do you guys hear an echo or is it.

[Jimmy]

You can tell. You can tell you're on, like, the headset phone. But if you had a mic like that. Like, if you were doing.

[Tyler]

I have a mic.

[Jimmy]

Yeah. I think put it. You'd have to bring it up closer, and I think a headset will put

[Mike]

it on, like, a stack of books like this.

[Tyler]

How's that?

[Mike]

Oh, yeah. There we go. That's.

[Jimmy]

No.

[Tyler]

Okay, so I need to do this then. Okay.

[Jimmy]

Changes. Changes the sound.

[Tyler]

Okay. Okay.

[Mike]

Completely.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Okay, now. And it's obviously not. Yeah. That is. These are the little tricks of the trade that you don't know how to do.

[Mike]

Are you using the camera?

[Tyler]

Yeah, this is Yalls camera.

[Mike]

So that's not a webcam. Okay, cool. Has it been dying on you or is it good?

[Tyler]

What I do is as soon as I get done, I take it off and I. I plug it in and then I make sure that like there's no. Like after I've plugged it in, right. I put it away because I don't want a cat to knock it over or anything like that. So it's put away. Are you in the dark? Yeah. Or me, I'll do it. And, and then an hour prior, you know, like I plug the in and I wait and then I plug it in and it's good. But if I don't do that for some reason it's like, hey dude, like two hours and this going to start going down and I don't know why, but it does. So just figured it out. But I lowered it down today. I wanted it to be. I. I'm tired of reading my notes and it. I'm not. I mean like being down here and then having to go up like that and being down here, like I hated it. Mike is very much more straight on.

[Jimmy]

So I was like, what I do well, you got to do. Yeah. I bring the computer up. So you guys are here. If I look here, but my camera's just right above it. So when you guys are talking, I look up just above the computer.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I need to bring it down just a little bit further, I think.

[Jimmy]

I mean I could go like right about there.

[Tyler]

And then, you know these are the tricks of the trade, right? These are. This is the cool stuff you don't see.

[Jimmy]

Yeah. And once you get it narrowed down, you just show up late, come in last minute, start yelling at everybody, scream at Lewis, all that cool stuff.

[Mike]

I came in ready to scream at Lewis, take it out. He wasn't here.

[Tyler]

Dude. I. I felt really bad.

[Jimmy]

The mic wasn't there.

[Tyler]

I. I felt.

[Jimmy]

I don't think he takes it. I don't think he takes it personal. I don't think he knows how to take it personal. So we're good.

[Tyler]

Because I wasn't. I was in the green room. Like I was in. I was in the lobby and I'm watching you go, Lewis, Lewis, were you. Were you coding? Were you coding? Oh, okay. This is your one warning. I'm like, oh man, dude, I'm. Oh, that sucks for you, Lewis. That sucks.

[Mike]

That sucks for you.

[Tyler]

Got no excuse.

[Jimmy]

Night shift, he's on the ball. Like, I don't know if we need to move him closer during the day, make him sit. Right.

[Mike]

Yeah. We added a new camera to night shift.

[Tyler]

I don't.

[Mike]

I don't think that's something that anybody's gonna pick up on really. But we have three cameras and then we have the fourth camera. That's big.

[Jimmy]

He was on it.

[Tyler]

By the way, Fumasa sent me a video that he's working on right now for the Counterculture Gaming intro. It's. It's in there if you guys want

[Mike]

to play real quick. It's pretty cool. Oh, you gotta love. Oh, see it?

[Tyler]

See it. Well, do I have to put it up or can you put it up?

[Mike]

I'm hitting.

[Jimmy]

You have to share screen. And then when it's ready, he hits, adds it. So you have to share screen.

[Tyler]

Strange. I mean, I can see that it's playing. It's just not coming onto the screen.

[Jimmy]

Do you want to send me the link? Is it a link?

[Tyler]

That's weird.

[Mike]

I'm hitting, playing. Oh, there it goes.

[Tyler]

It's in the discord. There it is.

[Mike]

Remove. I know. I don't know if it's like lagging or something. Yeah, it must just be really lagging bad. There it goes.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's just.

[Mike]

I'm hitting play, dude. There you go. I don't hear anything. It's all laggy and so what game is this? I'm sure it looks way better.

[Tyler]

Yeah, so that was a bunch of different games. So, I mean, that was Ready or Not. That was Space Marine 2. There was a bunch of other stuff. So he's working on it, man. They're gonna get some stuff. Obviously there's. There's people that very much want to, you know, have a channel within the Counterculture Network that's just for gaming. Tessa's been in there. She's very interested in doing that stuff too. And you know, they're. Dude, they're working hard on it. Famasa really wants to, like, put a crew together of guys who can play who are, you know, willing to play and play under the tag and make money and go get jobs, sort of.

[Mike]

Yeah, man. All we ask you find all their dudes bag, bro.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah. So, you know, and then there's. There's people that, like, there's people that really want Mike to go in there and be a SWAT team leader and go, okay, guys, we're gonna play ready or not, and I'm gonna plan this out for you.

[Jimmy]

I'm just gonna. We're just gonna Throw a grenade in there and be. Go home. Like, that's where Mike's at this point in the SWAT career. Open the door, you know. All right, case closed. Yeah, State. State refused to prosecute anyway, so we're good. That case cleared by death of the offender. Exceptionally cleared. That's all it is. Simple. Simple terms.

[Tyler]

Well, then you'll. You know what, you'll like Space Marine too then, because it's very gratifying and it's a lot of hack and slash and shoot them up and, you know,

[Jimmy]

I want to do Grand Theft Auto. I want to do, like, robberies together. That's what I'm looking.

[Mike]

How does Grand Theft Auto work? You just. When you're playing online, you just. Because they're gonna have gay pride parades in there. And I know for a Shoot him up, everybody's gonna go shoot up the gay pride parades. Like, as a joke, you get like

[Jimmy]

a squad and you just go do missions and rob people.

[Mike]

How are they gonna have a. How are they gonna have that when they can't have a parade? Because there's just a million dudes trying to cut them all down. Like, is there punishments? Like, if you. If you're playing online and you just kill somebody in the street, do you get, like, banned? Can you get kicked? No, it's just a wild west.

[Tyler]

No, I mean, it's sort of. I mean, what's the other rock star game? It's. Did I play. I played like, Red Dawn, Red Dead. Red Dead Redemption. Yeah, Red Dead. Literally the wild west. And people are out there robbing people, putting together gangs. You know, that's what I'm saying, dude, Trained.

[Mike]

Jay says there's a selection process. You gotta carry the boats, you gotta try out for the counterculture tag.

[Jimmy]

Who's gonna carry the boat?

[Tyler]

Yeah, so, I mean, Jay's another one. Jay wants to be our UK correspondent because there's a shitload of stuff happening in the UK right now.

[Mike]

He.

[Tyler]

He texted me at like 5 o' clock this morning. Was like, hey, man, where's a good. Where's a good place to learn American slang? I was like, go watch Dale Jr.

[Jimmy]

That'll help you watch those Chicago videos.

[Tyler]

Yeah, no, don't watch those.

[Mike]

That's how we act in the States. We should make. We should make a video like that. Probably be labeled terrorism.

[Jimmy]

Yeah. We be done.

[Tyler]

Yeah, well, I don't know if the UK is America plus 15 years, Clint. I think we still have an opportunity to do that. And the reason why I say that is because we fought a war with them, and they lost. We threw their tea in the harbor and told them to get banned.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, I don't think they're the problem anymore. I think it's coming from a different place.

[Mike]

Yeah. Pride Assassin says I need a link to Discord. Finally unfucked my account.

[Jimmy]

Yes, that yesterday, too. And then you listen to him.

[Mike]

I'd help you, bud. I don't even know what a Discord is. Mike knows what a Discord is. Mike's. Mike's Discord.

[Jimmy]

And all the time, I don't know what it is. I have. I have the app. I have no idea what to do once I open it. I see Ric Flair walking around in a channel.

[Mike]

Is it a gift?

[Jimmy]

Yeah, it's in the smoke pit.

[Mike]

What's the smoke pit? Is that where everybody just goes and chills and talks?

[Tyler]

Yep, that's the general chat area.

[Jimmy]

That's where I'm at.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that's the. That's the general chat area, like, where everybody kind of comes in, hangs out.

[Mike]

Hey, man.

[Tyler]

Good to see you. Hey, do you want to play this game? Yeah, let's go play. All right, cool. Or, hey, you know, I mean, they. They even got to the point where they put in when we go live and at what time with a link. Like, they have it all scheduled out, so.

[Mike]

Man, that is crazy. Awesome, dude. Thank you guys so much. There's.

[Tyler]

There's a lot of good stuff, and then there's. How many people in there.

[Mike]

I guess it helps me to get

[Jimmy]

the link up as early I commented, and people are talking about me.

[Tyler]

They've done. They've done some really, really.

[Mike]

What they say.

[Jimmy]

What they say?

[Mike]

What they say?

[Jimmy]

I said, this is the gay bar lounge. They said, this. The guy with the red hat is a gooberry. How many people are in there?

[Mike]

Last time I got an email right Pretty. Or a screenshot or somebody sent me something that there was like, 30 active members.

[Tyler]

Sorry. Yeah, it's more than that now. It's in the 40s.

[Jimmy]

Someone's gone really late. Had to be up really early.

[Mike]

Me too, bro. I was home late, dude. I had to upload audio file.

[Jimmy]

I had to go get fitted for my knee brace. She's like, yeah, we ain't got. We don't have any that small. We have to order it for you. I swear to God. She's like, you don't fit in the large. She's like, we gotta get you a smaller one. So you didn't get one. They measured, and then they order it. And then I go back and they fit it. It's got, like, a crank on the side, and, like, you twist it, and it pushes in on one side of your needle, like, relieve the pain from the other side.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah, that's right. You told me that. Joe, Ring with two bucks. Tyler, get on the Discord. You're going to love Ron. Who's Ron?

[Tyler]

Ready or not.

[Mike]

Oh. Got it. Okay.

[Jimmy]

It's Discord Talk.

[Tyler]

Sort of like. Wow.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, they use things like lol.

[Mike]

Yeah. Fr.

[Tyler]

Asl.

[Mike]

I really wish this video would work, but there's.

[Tyler]

There's 43 members in the Discord now, so. Which is, you know, that's great for what. What has been done. So there's about. Tree Fitty.

[Mike]

Clint's in the Discord. There's no excuse.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jimmy]

What?

[Tyler]

Yeah, Clint is in the Discord, man.

[Jimmy]

Clint's. About that.

[Mike]

What video games do you know how to play? Atari. Atari. Duck Hunt.

[Tyler]

Here.

[Jimmy]

I got a video.

[Tyler]

Dude, They're. What are they doing right now? I want to see what these guys are doing right now. So while they're listening to us, right? While they're listening to us, they are playing games right now. I'm in there. Chozilla's in there. Dylan's in there. Hey, what's up?

[Jimmy]

Whoa.

[Mike]

They're playing games, Nathan.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I'm in both. I'm live with them, and I'm live with you right now.

[Jimmy]

Whoa.

[Mike]

All right.

[Tyler]

What game are you guys playing?

[Mike]

If I. If I type it out, then I have to pay more. Too broke from buying your shirts, man. Damn, bro. I didn't mean to put you in the financial.

[Jimmy]

That's because they're so expensive.

[Mike]

They're not expensive. They're 30 bucks, if that. A lot of shirts on the site are on sale for, like, 15.

[Jimmy]

All right, there you go. Load that video up. Ready? Tell me when it's up.

[Mike]

Hold on. Yours are working.

[Jimmy]

Ready?

[Mike]

Here it comes. Ready? Here it comes.

[Tyler]

This is a great video.

[Jimmy]

He ain't the one.

[Mike]

This kid right here, They have, like, a stance to him where they're standing, and you're like, yo, he seems so serious. Like, why does he stand like a. Why does he stand like a cop?

[Tyler]

Right? It's because there's nowhere for us to

[Mike]

put our hands, right?

[Tyler]

So we have a firearm on the left. We have radio over here. And our hands are, like, out.

[Mike]

Out wide. So it's like, there's nowhere for us.

[Jimmy]

By far the most comfortable way to

[Mike]

stand as a cop.

[Jimmy]

That's life. That's what all the people say. I'm Done.

[Tyler]

Damn.

[Mike]

The. Was that last picture.

[Jimmy]

That was a bunch of Orange County 30 by 30 female cops and some old papa.

[Tyler]

Okay.

[Jimmy]

Is that over there?

[Tyler]

Oh, man. Man, we really gotta. We gotta bring up the energy level, man.

[Mike]

We gotta. I don't know what I gotta do, man. Today's chill. Everybody's playing games. Everybody's relaxed. I'll talk with anybody in here. Thank you, Nathan. It's a chat site, not a gaming site, but I'm gonna use it for that. Tessa showed me streaming and listening. Posting at the same time.

[Jimmy]

At the same damn time.

[Tyler]

Because they're in there streaming what they're doing. Yeah.

[Mike]

Damn. I played Atari Pride Assassin. Clint. Jimmy is like Dr. Manhattan. He can be in two places at once. Is he John Tavius product hasn't. Yalls prices are staying. Don't gauge people. I respect that. You don't get gouge people, man. I. Okay. I can't read. But yes, our prices are very good.

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Like I said, man, there's. We got shirts on our site for like 15 bucks right now.

[Jimmy]

When I'm like, look, some of the orders go through with the discount. I make like 3 bucks on a 3artem order. I don't care about that. It's got. It's a brand awareness thing. Like, get that stuff out there. That's what we're here for. My tax lady's gonna have.

[Mike]

Oh, man, I ain't seen Nath. This. What's it.

[Jimmy]

Nathan.

[Mike]

Nathan.

[Jimmy]

Yeah. He's been. He's been busy. He's popped back up in the last few days. Okay.

[Mike]

What's up, Nathan.

[Jimmy]

Nathan Sternum podcast the man.

[Mike]

Of course. I got some videos, bro. You know Daddy. You know Daddy's coming. You know Daddy's coming to play with those videos.

[Jimmy]

Ought to be great. Let's see. See?

[Mike]

Better than yours.

[Jimmy]

Yeah. Okay.

[Mike]

All right. So this first one is pretty interesting to me.

[Tyler]

All right.

[Mike]

Gotta go to Streamyard. Gotta share the screen. Gotta select this. This is what Mike said. This is. This is. This process is painstaking.

[Jimmy]

It is. And you know. You know what? The fucking right window's up. You gotta do it, I guess split it.

[Mike]

I don't know. This is somebody breaking down nick Fuentes. And I 100 agree with this guy, but.

[Jimmy]

Oh, you've never seen the top guy?

[Mike]

No.

[Jimmy]

Oh, he's. He's right up there with the joker. Yes.

[Tyler]

It worships. Literally worships Hitler. All of them worship Hitler. Hitler's the man. I love Hitler. Lol.

[Mike]

The Holocaust.

[Tyler]

Dude. Hitler was a racial supremacist. They really think that Hitler wanted to create, like, a wholesome chungus, democrat, socialist country.

[Mike]

If Hitler had it his way, they

[Tyler]

would have killed and enslaved millions of people.

[Mike]

Like, what the fuck are you talking about?

[Tyler]

You know, they go, hitler wanted. In their mind, Hitler's like Superman.

[Mike]

Like, he was an alien that came

[Tyler]

here to fight for truth, justice in the American way.

[Jimmy]

Did Nick finally realize he's not white?

[Tyler]

He came here to free the Slavs from communism, and he just wanted to destroy pornography, Marxism.

[Mike]

And it's like, no.

[Tyler]

Like, he wanted to enslave half of Europe. He wanted to colonize Eastern Europe.

[Jimmy]

What?

[Tyler]

He wanted an empire based on racial hierarchy. Hello.

[Jimmy]

Does this dude just roll the dice?

[Tyler]

Whatever. The guy that worships. Literally worship.

[Mike]

So I thought that was interesting because.

[Jimmy]

Well, it's interesting because Fuentes is. He's trying to get mainstream, very controversial, but stay enough where he can be mainstream. And so I think he's starting to skew some of his.

[Mike]

Do they not know that it's on the Internet forever? Like, you can't just one month go, hitler is the man, and then the next month go, do these people not understand how bad Hitler was? Like that? You can't do that on the Internet. That's what makes me think that this guy's mentally ill or he's too immature to realize. Like, how old is he, 25?

[Jimmy]

Yeah, he's young. So it's.

[Mike]

It's.

[Jimmy]

He's. He's trying to. He's trying to do something.

[Mike]

Idiot.

[Tyler]

Dude, I don't think. I don't. I don't think anybody that sits there and talks about Hitler being good or bad. Yeah, is it. I mean, like, dude, Hitler was a bad guy. We could. Can we all agree on that? They're killing already more kids, so you're telling me it isn't real when they had a phone in the goddamn Senate?

[Jimmy]

That's a conspiracy theory.

[Tyler]

That's a conspiracy.

[Mike]

Isn't that crazy? I remember seeing these things thinking the same thing. I was like, this guy's nuts. He knew the whole time, and he tried warning us. He tried, and everybody laughed at him.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, he's right about a lot of things.

[Tyler]

He. He's. He's been right.

[Mike]

Like, I haven't figured out what the gay frogs mean, but once we figure that out.

[Tyler]

No, that's a real thing.

[Mike]

I. I can actually water frog gay or something like that.

[Tyler]

Yeah, they. They literally were putting chemicals in the water that. That made the frogs, like, gay now

[Mike]

gay. Fox. We take a quick commercial break, guys. We'll be Right back. Of course. Tyler's got some good videos. That's the wrong one. 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, 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 on profitability. The 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 vengeance.

[Tyler]

Yeah, well, we're back at least, so. Oh, we got anything?

[Mike]

We're back at least.

[Jimmy]

Same way the show started.

[Mike]

Hey, who wants to. All right, you guys want to talk some smack? Who's got Jimmy Europe?

[Tyler]

I gotta start getting those. I gotta start doing those gummies, man.

[Jimmy]

I know you got another ad over there. Something some other company.

[Mike]

Nope, right there.

[Jimmy]

That's it.

[Mike]

Tip for the day.

[Jimmy]

No, there's another one there. It's really cool. One with an ultima on it.

[Tyler]

I mean, when. When can we start getting sponsored by

[Jimmy]

Shadow Legends for our own companies?

[Mike]

We gotta stretch it out, man. We can't be advertising.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, I was gonna pop out counterculture ink threads where you can maybe get your stuff on time, maybe not. You never know.

[Mike]

You kind of touched on this a little bit. Like, I think, good. Look at this hat.

[Jimmy]

Look at this hat.

[Mike]

So fly. So fly.

[Jimmy]

I also have Jimmy hat. Jimmy. You're not. You're not. You're not sick no more.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I. I had the Chinese soup.

[Mike]

That's what did it for me. Hilarious.

[Jimmy]

Gina.

[Tyler]

Oh, me? Dude, Rhonda and Gina. How. Whoever thought about that, man? Are they gonna be half naked? I'm like I said, I will be half naked. Might be making a little better.

[Jimmy]

I don't know, dude.

[Mike]

Like.

[Tyler]

Well, let's be honest. Ronda Rousey can fight. That can fight. She's Olympian.

[Mike]

Weird.

[Tyler]

A Olympian. I mean, I think she lost a few fights her ex, but damn, Gina. I mean, Gina always sucked. I like Gina. She's like super conservative. I was like a kid when she fought. I may have jerked off to her once or twice back in the day, but I mean, it was like Strike Force days, right? How long ago is that? I was like a kid, dude. I was like, what, like 12, you know, I was jerking off when I

[Jimmy]

was 12, but he's amazing, dude.

[Tyler]

But yeah, Gina, I mean, she always kind of sucked, you know, she was just hot.

[Mike]

Rhonda. Gina. Oh, me.

[Jimmy]

Dude, he.

[Mike]

He is following. He is taking the old Conor McGregor playbook. He is going to make his.

[Jimmy]

Dana White's gotta be like, oh, every time he starts talking, dude, he's gotta be like, here it comes.

[Mike]

But he's smart because Conor McGregor can literally commit the worst felonies ever and everybody still loves him.

[Jimmy]

So he said some real wild Strickland did after one of the fights. And Dana White was in the press. He's like, who the walked up to Sean Strickland with a microphone? Like, that's the guy.

[Mike]

That's the problem.

[Jimmy]

Like, you guys all know who Sean Strickland is. Like, who walked up to him with a microphone on and let him talk.

[Mike]

That is. But dude, he. Dana White is a great manager of talent. And I always say, like, for counterculture, if you manage the personalities right and the talent right, you can do really no wrong. You just have to, like, let everybody go their own lanes and be themselves. And that's what he does with his fighters, because as fighters, he gives off an aura. And I'm probably on paper too, but he gives it like, they. If whatever they say doesn't repeat me or the ufc, they're knuckle dragging dudes that beat the out of each other all day. Like, I can't be. I can't be held accountable for what he says on a mic, right? So that's the. So now no one holds Dana accountable. I remember one time they tried. He. They tried a couple times and he's like, he can say whatever the he wants. He's a grown man.

[Jimmy]

Oh, it's the one time it was the guy, one of the black dudes said the N word and one of the reporters was like, oh, are you gonna address the. That so and so said N where he's like, he's black, right? And the lady's like, yeah. He goes, well, you can say it. He's Black. Like, what's next question? Like, what. What do you want me to say about it? Like, I can't say it, but he can say it. So what's next? Like, McGregor. As much as I can't stand McGregor now, I think he wasted some of the best talent. I mean, I think Khabib's better, but McGregor was like the Stone Cold Steve Austin of UFC. Like, he took it from a decent promotion where you kind of, like, enjoyed it, to superstardom. Then he turned into a crack addict, and he can't keep himself straight for five minutes. But amazing. They were good. Yeah.

[Mike]

17, man. They were good years. I always wanted a McGregor Diaz 3, but I. It'll never happen now.

[Tyler]

Well, I think McGregor started going downhill after the. Who was it that he boxed?

[Jimmy]

Oh, Mayweather. It was before that.

[Tyler]

Yeah, he made.

[Jimmy]

He made too much money Too fast in UFC, the Proper 12 deal, like the side stuff, and he started snoring coke and cheating on his wife and going on yachts, and he did all that dumb. And he took himself away from. I mean, what. The last fight he fought was The Poirier fight, McGregor Poirier three, where he broke his leg. And he's never been. He's never fought one since. He can't even stay at the drug. He was like, wouldn't be. He wouldn't even enter the drug testing protocol because he was so fucking doped up all the time.

[Mike]

Yeah,

[Jimmy]

Khabib ended him. Khabib showed that that's where the. The grappling out does the boxing.

[Mike]

Are they gonna do the. The White House fight?

[Jimmy]

Yeah, that's happening.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that's happening.

[Jimmy]

Yep.

[Mike]

Really?

[Jimmy]

There's supposedly some massive fights in that on there. I saw the Toporia and Gaichi was announced maybe, and then I'm sure Islam Makachev will be on there. That's gonna be. That's gonna be it.

[Tyler]

Got a message here.

[Mike]

This is pretty cool. What's up, Jim?

[Tyler]

Oh, I gotta. I gotta. I got a message from. From something.

[Mike]

Was it on Discord? It is actually an official Discord message. Everybody stop. Jimmy's on the clock.

[Tyler]

So. So he goes, jimmy, this is from Chase Bread with Jalapenos. He said, jimmy, in October, there's a forensic video analysis training conference in Tampa. I usually teach at them. And we'll be in town. I'd be down to buy you a beer someplace. Or if you want to be very bored, I could teach you some legit video analysis stuff.

[Mike]

There you go.

[Tyler]

People know about video analysis.

[Jimmy]

Bang my head against the wall.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

What is it?

[Mike]

Want to learn about fingerprinting too?

[Tyler]

What is video analysis? I don't.

[Mike]

It's watching boring ass videos. And you can't even watch it for the content. You got to watch it for the quality. I'm just kidding.

[Jimmy]

There's just certain things I couldn't do. And I respect crime scene. I respect those guys that do that tedious stuff. You got me for about 11 seconds and I'm gone.

[Mike]

Cheese bread sent me that badass ram in the corner of Night Shift, dude. Custom made.

[Jimmy]

I was there. I was on the show the night you got it. Yeah, the other guy ran before the other guy walked out.

[Mike]

All right, so I don't know who this football player is. It was really cool video. And I tell people all the time, the aura, like your mind and body, like the whole, like the mom that can lift up the car like you. When you separate your brain from your body. Like monks do it. That's why they can elevate, you know, Samoans do it. That's why they can. They can take all the pain. Like they can like chisel tattoos on themselves. This guy headbutts a guy with a helmet and it's like, doesn't do it. It's really. It's. I don't know who this football player is though. But we're gonna watch. You guys know, feel free to.

[Tyler]

You guys really want. Just stay out here for the first series. I'll go out by myself.

[Jimmy]

I'll do it.

[Tyler]

Seriously. 1 verse 11. I. I like my eyes.

[Jimmy]

I look like a psycho.

[Tyler]

I'm keeping helmet off the rest of the game.

[Mike]

Hey, blue, blue, Block me one more time. Let's go, blue.

[Tyler]

You're being called out.

[Jimmy]

Let's go. I'll put it like you want some. Let's go.

[Tyler]

I forklifted his ass right into the

[Mike]

bag and he fell on top of

[Jimmy]

the dot on top of the bag. So don't ever push me actually like that.

[Mike]

He was a wild man.

[Jimmy]

When he butted the guy in the

[Mike]

head, I worried about him a little bit time. Watch this, watch this.

[Tyler]

Dude, that would break anybody else's.

[Mike]

Your face wide open, break your nose, you'd be pouring blood. But that's what I'm saying. When he has that adrenaline going, your. Your body is not doing normal things. You just headbutted a dude's face mask and you. I just can't explain it. Dude.

[Jimmy]

It's built different, man.

[Tyler]

Dude, this guy's getting a car wrecks all day.

[Mike]

They. Yeah, that. Yeah, they get in car accidents. All day long, dude. Bro. And that's like the genetically superior one over the other ones. And I know what you guys are going to say. That's not what I meant. I'm saying that they don't make. They have athletes, like, they have football players like him that just make all the other football players look average.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, yeah. Think about and think about, like, the worst guy on the field is a thousand times better than you. And I, like, the worst guy in the field is like a dog. And then these are, like, the absolute monsters among men. Like, it's crazy.

[Tyler]

Like, like, these are. These are the guys that are definitely gonna catch that guy in the foot race. Did you see that video of the. The. The dude that was a cop, that was basically a sphere trying to chase a guy at a Walmart parking lot.

[Jimmy]

I posted it. Of course it's there.

[Tyler]

See, this is what I'm talking about right here. This is exactly why I. I get excited when I send Mike anything good? Because I will say something like this, and he'll be like, oh, yeah, I saw it. I posted it.

[Jimmy]

I put on the story. Like, I. I get. Dude, I. I counted yesterday. I got stopped at 87. I'm blocked. I got 87 videos sent to me yesterday where I had to write back. I'm blocked from like, Tik Tok cops and all the people that make those videos. But yeah, that one got sent to me. The fat dude running through the, like, I guess you call it running. I can get it. I got it on my head on my story. I can get the video.

[Mike]

I don't know what the this is.

[Jimmy]

Yes, I would love. I would love to watch another one. Tyler.

[Mike]

It's kind of new.

[Tyler]

Kind of new inside of this home now that you can see SWAT team still behaving as though that suspect maybe inside this home. An army. And very difficult sometimes to control those fire hoses if you are not experienced with it. It does appear to be an LAPD officer that is holding that fire hose. Again, these firefighters will not approach this home if there is an armed suspect in there. So this is strictly a law enforcement operation right now. Burning inside of this home. Now that you can see SWAT team still.

[Mike]

Okay, so a couple things about this. First off, you. I've been in those situations where you look at something, you're like, I'm going to laugh hysterically at that later. Like, we are going to laugh very hard. But you can't laugh at it because you've got your window and you got a raging fire with an armed Suspect in there. But that just goes to show you, like, dude, everybody relies on the cops. At the end of the day, when the world is going to. When ICE agents are bad, when firemen can't do the job, everybody's like, where are the cops? The cops had to put out that fire, rightfully so, because the fire department couldn't do it because there was an armed subject. Hey, here's this hose, dude. Have a good. Have a good one, man.

[Jimmy]

Yeah. Never used it, obviously. Yeah, that's what I look like. After about three. Three weeks of no dollar menu, I kind of. That's what happens to me.

[Tyler]

The noodle.

[Mike]

Oh.

[Tyler]

Or just uncontrollable.

[Jimmy]

Here's that video I loaded up that Jimmy was talking about.

[Mike]

All right.

[Tyler]

That guy is a spear.

[Jimmy]

Getting there. He's getting there.

[Tyler]

He couldn't even jog for more than 100ft.

[Mike]

You're right. He's an egg with legs. That's what I. That's what I call people that are just round. They're an egg with legs. They're Humpty Dumptys.

[Tyler]

Yeah, he's.

[Mike]

They're a sphere with two little legs on the bottom of it.

[Tyler]

I mean, in the back of his vest says police. It doesn't say security. It doesn't say loss prevention. It says police. Okay, police.

[Jimmy]

What?

[Mike]

That's. Might as well say disgrace.

[Tyler]

Yeah. What agency. What sergeant is like, you know what?

[Jimmy]

Nobody gives a.

[Mike]

It's not a gay female. Nobody.

[Jimmy]

We're really going there today.

[Mike]

No, you know what I think? I think people like it. I think people like it. I think people like. Because I was thinking in the shower last night, I wasn't thinking about any of you homos, but I was thinking before I went to bed, I was like, man, what would I. What would I do if I was accused of being. First off, we fall under comedy. You notice how comedians can say whatever the they want and they're like, well, they're comedian. They get away with anything up. I think we fall under that. So I don't think anybody would try or could. But what if they did? What if somebody ran a piece on me and, like, spliced up all the things I said out of context or in context where I said something that's out. It was supposed to be funny and they took it seriously. And at the end of the day, I would look them in the face and be like, in no way, shape or form. And I. Am I a racist? But I am a realist. I'm a hundred percent a realist. I Have you know what statement? Yes, because it sucks that we make light of, I have black friends. We pick on Jimmy. We just made fun of Jimmy the other day when he's like, I have black friends. But it's a. It's fact. You cannot be a racist if you have friends that are black. You would hate all black people. That is what a racist is. So actually, when a white dude goes, I. I have white. I have black friends. You're not a racist. You just killed the argument that you're not a racist. And I rest my case.

[Jimmy]

Your honor, I think I. I look at that, and I thought that for a long time. I look at it like. Like the guy getting upset that I said he called it the F word. We talked about. We touched on this last night. You can say any human on earth can walk up to all three of us based on being white males and say whatever they want us. There is nothing off limits to what you can say to me. If that is the case, then it applies for everybody. You can't restrict it to one group of people or one group of people allowed to be attacked. I look at it like I can say whatever the I want. Like, I can say what I want. That's it. It's that simple. That's what. That would be my answer to that question. Like, I can say whatever I want. It is commonly been said to me. People have talked about my children, my wife, my kid, like, my.

[Tyler]

My mom.

[Jimmy]

They've said, call me every name in the book. And I can't do. There's nobody reported to. Hey, HR that guy called me a white piece of. I'm cool. That's what you are. Go back to work. Okay. Like, I have no recourse for anybody saying anything to me. So I kind of feel like you can say whatever you want like everybody else does. That's my answer. I can say whatever I want.

[Mike]

I love it. How about you? Are you racist?

[Tyler]

I am not a racist.

[Mike]

I didn't like that.

[Jimmy]

Well, I'm gonna clip that. I'm gonna go back before we finish. Before we finish, Jimmy. But one second. You asked us both if we. We thought you said everybody agrees that Hitler's a bad person. I don't think Tyler and I have answered yet. It's that I want to go back. And I played a video on purpose. Everybody was like, Jimmy's like, we can all agree that Hitler's a terrible person. And with silence, Tyler played a video, and I was like, oh, somebody's gonna see that. And, like, clip that up. Right.

[Mike]

Anyway.

[Jimmy]

But go ahead, Jimmy. I'm sorry.

[Mike]

Go ahead.

[Jimmy]

Like.

[Tyler]

No, no, it's good, man. It's good. We always get a little bit better after the, after the break, man. It starts flowing. I am not a racist by any stretch of the imagination, but I can certainly look at every single culture, white, black, Hispanic, and go. There is a sect of that. There's a portion of that culture that I cannot stand. I don't like white trash meth. You know, got the meth lab behind the trailer out there in the middle of Okala. I can't see.

[Mike]

What are all those trap houses supposed to be doing when there's a damn meth house down the road? Like, come on, man.

[Tyler]

Exactly. By the same token, I could look at what's going on in Chicago with the two videos that we saw and go, that. I don't like that either. And, and each one of those has a, A, A, a racial demographic to it. The ones in Chicago, they're all black. The ones in Ocala, they're all white. The dudes that are. What's that gang organization that's all over the place? It's just numbers.

[Mike]

The Jews.

[Tyler]

No, not the Jews. It's numbers, not letters. You guys know what I'm talking about. The, The. They're. They're prison. They're in prison gangs all the time.

[Mike]

No. Mexican mafia.

[Tyler]

You guys are cops. Help me out here. You're telling me you don't know?

[Mike]

Are they brown, black, white?

[Tyler]

Yeah, I said Hispanic gangs from South America. It's a Hispanic. Ms. 13. There it is. Yeah, I don't like those guys either.

[Mike]

I don't know the song.

[Tyler]

I don't know it. I don't spend as much of my time.

[Jimmy]

Good.

[Mike]

Yeah, everybody's answering. Ms. 13. Ms. 13. Ms. Thirteen.

[Tyler]

And you guys are just over here.

[Mike]

Like, Mike Fritz is right. He is absolutely right. Prejudice. We actually go to. I, I went to a prejudice class and I was like, this is. And I learned a lot. You cannot help that you're prejudiced. That is not. It's actually not. It's not a bad thing. It's a natural thing. Like, people wear red hats. I'm prejudiced. I think they're stupid and ugly. But that's just because of what I've been subject to five days a week. I'm prejudiced against people with red hats.

[Tyler]

It's actually different than that because the survival instinct within humans to not like or want to be around people or, or groups that don't look like them is a survival mechanism from Way back. And I will point you to the fact that the. The Plains Indians, the Native Americans that did not like white settlers coming through, had a really good reason to want to stay the. Away from us.

[Mike]

Oh, yep. That's true. I mean, is it. This is. I'm asking a question. I want to know. I want. I want to know, is sticking with your tribe that big of a deal, wanting to be around people that look and act like you and think like you?

[Jimmy]

I don't think.

[Mike]

Is it that big of a deal? Because apparently it is a bigger deal.

[Tyler]

You.

[Mike]

You're not allowed to want to. And I mean, tribe. It can be cultural, like, you see, it doesn't.

[Jimmy]

Well, in any other. In any other time or any other. Take a race out of it. Like, take that out of it. If I like to gamble and I'm in a room and I see a bunch of dudes talking about golf, I'm not going to go over and talk to the guys talking about golf. I'm gonna look for the guys that look. Talk about gambling, right? Or something that I like. I don't think it's wrong to be like, well, these guys kind of. Especially in the surface, the beginning, like, you know, these guys look like me. I'm gonna go talk to those dudes. It doesn't mean you don't like anybody else. But initially I would think, like, a lion is not going to walk up and be like, well, there's a bunch of bears. I'm gonna go over there. Or the hyenas. I'm gonna go over the hyenas and get like, I'm gonna go over here. So these guys are doing. I may like those guys over there, but I'm check these guys out. And it shouldn't be wrong. I don't think to do that. And I'll tell you what, this state's up. I came from New Jersey in 1993. We were pretty integrated. When I moved to Florida, it was very segregated. Still, in 93, when I walked into high school, there were black kids over here, preppy kids with collared shirts over here, some redneck kids over here with the guy Harvey shirts on. And I'm like, what the is this? Like, who are these people? Like, I didn't understand that. But it wasn't wrong, right? It's like, you can stand by whoever the you want to stand by.

[Mike]

No, I don't think it's wrong at all.

[Tyler]

Well, there. There is an actual real thing about being able to look at a group of people and go, I want to Be with this group of people. What has happened because of politics, and this is always because of politics, is that somewhere along the way, everybody told you two things. Diversity is our strength. And if you don't like diversity, you're a racist. And that's why everybody goes like, oh, well, we. We need to be inclusive, man. You know, we. We can't do this. And it's like, no, I actually can. And it's. It's evil. You don't have to believe in evolution, but it's evolutionary, reinforced. The hyenas don't hang out with the lions, okay? That's just not how it works. Yeah, that's not how it works. And. And whether you want to believe it or not, mankind. Human beings, are the most deadly, dangerous predator on the planet. And we will kill each other faster than we will kill anybody else. It's what we do. Every thing that has ever been created by mankind either started from a weapon or was turned into one so that we could kill each other. Period.

[Jimmy]

Like it?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

I feel like I painted on that one.

[Mike]

You did. Good job. Women hang without. I got a couple. So I've been. My algorithm, as I told you guys, both is very NASCAR oriented right now. And I said, I know.

[Tyler]

I see that.

[Mike]

And I got him up. I mean, like, the first. I'm infatuated with the fact that they can. Is it only the teams that can talk to each other, Jimmy? Or are all of them. Are there different channels where you talk to just your team, your crew, and then your team, and then everyone? Like a general chat?

[Tyler]

So NASCAR can. If you're talking about nascar, NASCAR can listen to everybody. You cannot listen to somebody else's radio, because that's going to give away things. Like, if you go, hey, dude, we're gonna pit in four laps. It's like, okay, I know that. That guy's gonna pit in four laps. So they stay on their own channels. They do have a way to talk to each other, but mostly that's like dudes coming from the pit crew, you know, going like, hey, bro, you know, the. The 27 car, which is a Toyota? Or you guys will talk before the race. Like, hey, you and me, you're. I'm driving the. The, you know, the 33 car. You're driving the 27 car. And. And you go, hey, man, when we get out there, like, I'm at 18th, you're at fifth. When I get up there, we're gonna work together to get through this, and we'll pit together because we're Toyota, like, And that's how those.

[Mike]

Yeah. What I'm asking is like, so obvious. Is it kind of like when we had our comms overseas, we had our truck comms that were constantly running. Like it was. I. Like we're talking right now. I don't need to key up to talk to the truck. Everybody in the truck can hear each other. Then you get on. Oh, box the comms with the convoy. Right. You have to actually key up for the convoy comm. And then you can switch freaks and go to battalion and radio and anything. Much like the way police work, we have our talk around channel where we can all talk to each other. It's very informal. And then we have the actual primary channel where we have to go on and address the. The dispatcher and everybody. It's official. So, like, I'm assuming there's got to be like. Like them in their crew. Right. Just a channel where I can talk to my 12 dudes over there on the sidelines and my. And my coach or whatever, he is the pick boss. And then there's got to be a way where they can talk to their team. Crew chief. Yeah. And then their team. Like there's like what, three or four drivers on a team?

[Tyler]

No, no, not a nascar. It's one driver. One. One crew chief.

[Mike]

But they're not part of the team.

[Jimmy]

That means like three. There's teams. Yeah. Different.

[Tyler]

Oh, there's three. It depends. Like, Dale. Dale. Dale Jr. Had one car, no team. Okay. Michael Jefferson had two.

[Mike]

If you have two, if you have team members, like, like, they want to be able to talk to each other. Like. No, no. Okay.

[Tyler]

No, I'll give you. I mean, so like, Dale Jr. Is a great example. Dale Jr. Raced for DEI and Hendrick Motorsports when he was with. Racing with DEI. His two. Two teammates were his dad and Michael Waltrip, and they worked together just fine. They weren't.

[Jimmy]

No, no, no, no, no. Dale drove for Mr. Child still.

[Tyler]

Yeah, he drove.

[Jimmy]

No, no, Jimmy, come on. Oh, Dale. Dale was driving the number three car for Richard Childress when he died. And then he owned Michael Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt's car.

[Tyler]

Right. But did Dale was the car owner.

[Jimmy]

Yes. Of those two cars?

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jimmy]

Correct.

[Tyler]

Okay. I misstated it. But yes, he was racing for RCR, but he owned DEI. He had two cars. He had the eight car, and he had wall trips Napa 15 car. Yeah.

[Mike]

So I am just infatuated with. In car radio with NASCAR, because you get out of 40 some people on the track, you get guys laughing about stuff. You guys Surprised? You got guys mad. You got guys butt hurt. You know, think about the messenger.

[Jimmy]

You got to call up the Jimmy the spotter and go. You go tell Dooks's spotter, he's a for cutting me off, and turn four, and Jimmy's got to walk down the roof and go, hey, your guy's a for cutting him off.

[Tyler]

And then they're up here. So, I mean. I mean, dude, Joey Logano. Joey Logano got like.

[Mike]

He.

[Tyler]

It was my or Tyler that sent it to me, and it's out there. It's all over the place because everybody hates Joey Logano. Everybody.

[Mike]

Wait, was that one of the ones last night?

[Tyler]

Yeah, you said it to me last night. I replied to it. I'm like, I. I mean, one of the guys that's in there, Steel Jr goes, Damn, man. I've heard of wrecking a guy, but not giving everybody on the field a headache.

[Mike]

All right, let's play it. I got it. I got it.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I got two videos. We'll play this one first.

[Tyler]

Matt Kenton just wrecked Joey Legato.

[Jimmy]

He waited on him and was the leader.

[Tyler]

Came by payback for Matt Kenzo up Kansas just gained a whole lot of fans in Martinsville.

[Mike]

Oh, my goodness.

[Tyler]

Matt just got more fans than he's ever gotten in his whole life right there. Wow, man.

[Mike]

I guess the right front went down there. Right front or something.

[Tyler]

That look like it hurt. Hell, I'm hurting a guy but not getting everybody headache.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's crazy. Matt just absolutely destroyed the 22. You kidding me? That's ridiculous.

[Tyler]

It. Holy moly.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Jimmy]

That's awesome.

[Tyler]

I mean, he didn't take him out. He jumped stuck.

[Mike]

Tell you what you need to do is go over there and get him. That's a chicken right there. Go over there and get.

[Tyler]

First of all, Joey Logano is not get. I think his. His dude was setting him up or with him, because there's no way Joey Logano is getting out of that car. Have you ever seen a picture of Joey Logano?

[Jimmy]

Yeah, he's lanky.

[Tyler]

He's not fighting. Screech.

[Mike]

No. Okay.

[Tyler]

He's not.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Tyler]

Dale. Dale Earnhardt could get out of the car and will beat you up. So that's. So he could drive however the he wanted.

[Mike]

My driver could beat up your driver. My Dale could be.

[Tyler]

Dude, it. There's so many videos of people getting pissed off at what Dale did. And Dale was like, hey, you want to go? Let's do it, dude.

[Mike]

I'll.

[Tyler]

I'll beat your ass right here. And he could do it. But Joey Logano drives like he's Dale Earnhardt. He's, you know, right on the ragged edge. Dirty in a lot of cases. But then when you get. But he's a screech when he gets out of the car, he's. He's nobody. I mean, like, dude, I, I. That guy's 20 years younger than me.

[Jimmy]

And I would go fight our game. We gotta get the NASCAR game.

[Tyler]

I've got the NASCAR game.

[Jimmy]

I got.

[Tyler]

I'm the only I that I had

[Jimmy]

the steering wheel that you could bolt to the table. You hook it to the table. I had the steering wheel.

[Tyler]

Yes.

[Jimmy]

I'm in. Dude, I'll play that out of that.

[Tyler]

I was gonna put NASCAR in the discord, but I was like, I'm the only one that'll play it.

[Jimmy]

I'll play it.

[Mike]

Here's another one.

[Tyler]

Where is he?

[Mike]

I'm getting it.

[Tyler]

He's probably looking for you. I just barely accidentally touched him. Well, he's waiting on you when you get there.

[Jimmy]

He's turning quick.

[Mike]

Damn. That was a real act of a champion. The most cowardly non championship I have ever seen in my life.

[Tyler]

What a coward.

[Mike]

What a bunch of chicken.

[Jimmy]

That was

[Mike]

really, really.

[Tyler]

That's what our sports come down to. If I ever do that, just come

[Mike]

down the pit road and punch me right in the face.

[Tyler]

Hey, where is that son of. I'm going kill him. I hope Boyer beats the out of him.

[Mike]

Oh, man.

[Tyler]

It's a huge fight now. Hey, who's fighting? Holy smokes.

[Jimmy]

Who the fighting?

[Mike]

Who the fuck's fighting?

[Tyler]

I don't know where he's at.

[Mike]

Don't let him do that.

[Jimmy]

Stupid.

[Tyler]

He is Hustler. Tell them to turn the tv. I can't see it. You're missing a good one here.

[Jimmy]

That's the best thing.

[Tyler]

It's happened all year.

[Jimmy]

It looks like there's a payback. I hope they're filming it or somebody

[Mike]

is so I can see it later.

[Jimmy]

Come on.

[Tyler]

Come on. Man. That is chicken. He comes out trailer. He's getting his damn.

[Mike]

I'm getting it. He's probably looking for you. I don't know, dude. Those guys driving like they can't see anything. They're like, damn it, I'm missing it. Somebody film it for me.

[Jimmy]

Who's fighting?

[Mike]

I get a lot of joy out of that.

[Tyler]

Nascar. NASCAR used to be a lot more like that than it is now. But here's the thing.

[Mike]

They would have a lot more fans. Dude, everybody wants to see that stuff.

[Tyler]

That's what that Was the thing that Dale was saying. So when Dale was. Was racing against Jeff Gordon, right, The. The. They had like this on track rivalry, but Dale was going behind the scenes to Jeff. Jeff was a young guy, didn't get it. He's like, look, dude, we're gonna make a lot of money by pretending we hate each other. I'm gonna say some. It's gonna sound like I hate your gut.

[Mike]

Like wrestling.

[Tyler]

Exactly. You know, I. I would love to see it return to that. That if you look on my story, you'll see that, like, Dale Jr. Is talking about racing the 500 next year.

[Mike]

No way.

[Tyler]

Yeah. All right, let me go on my story. And you can see. No, not the one with him and his wife. It's the first one where he's. He's actually in the studio. And then you can see the one with him and his wife, James. Oh, you. Yep, that's me. I love nascar.

[Mike]

Oh, it said, we're having trouble loading the story. Oh, there it is. Oh, your stories are expired, bro.

[Tyler]

Oh, okay.

[Jimmy]

I got a video for you.

[Mike]

All right, Send it to. Send it to antihero. Jimmy, you can load it up.

[Tyler]

Yes, sir.

[Jimmy]

Tell me when you're ready.

[Mike]

I will load it up. It is up. I said, I don't like nobody new.

[Tyler]

Asians, blacks, whites, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans,

[Mike]

dogs, horses, fish, roaches, worms, butterflies, ants. I don't like nothing. That last part.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, that's the best way to handle it. Like he can now, if he. He can say that, right? Can you?

[Mike]

I guess so, yeah. Oh, you. No, no, we can't say that.

[Jimmy]

Oh, why not?

[Tyler]

I sent it to you.

[Mike]

He's got it.

[Jimmy]

Austin White. He's hilarious, dude. He said he has another one where he's talking about, there's four black kids in a Cadillac in his neighborhood, and they're like, and you called the police on me. You says, you goddamn right. He said, ain't no reason 4 black kids should be hanging out by a Cadillac. It's great.

[Tyler]

He told me I should run the Daytona 500 next year.

[Mike]

Really? Yeah.

[Tyler]

We were laying in bed Sunday night after the race. He's like, you should just drive it next year. I'm like, hello.

[Mike]

Hello? If you had one more shot, one more opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment, would you capture it or just let it slip?

[Tyler]

Look, d. I. I don't know. I don't know who this guy is.

[Mike]

Everybody in NAS is important.

[Tyler]

Yeah. So she talks about it and I'll send that one to.

[Mike]

He's talking about his wife.

[Tyler]

Yeah, he's talking about Amy. He said Amy said I should just run it. They were laying in bed together. Just run the race next year.

[Mike]

Would he have to qualify or would he not have to qualify?

[Tyler]

He would still have to go through everything else that Justin Allgaier had to do because he doesn't have a charter. Unless he was the guy that was driving the number 40 car in the Daytona 500 last Sunday and wrecked the car. Like.

[Mike]

Like, why bring him? What's that have to do with Dale Jr.

[Tyler]

Justin Algire wouldn't be the driver anymore. Dale Jr. Would drive. No, because I'm sure what happened. And this is sort of my. This is my personal opinion. Justin Allgire was leading that race when he wrecked the car. And he wrecked the car because he tried to throw a block too late and ended up running himself right into the wall. It was completely just an allguier's fault. He was too late. Whether it was a spotter or the driver, whatever it was, Chase Elliott got a run on him. Justin Algar tried to throw the block and it basically turned like this bangar too late, man.

[Mike]

Does he race for the same people that Dale Jr. Would race for?

[Tyler]

He races for Dale Jr.

[Mike]

Okay. Okay. That's the part I wasn't. I wasn't picking up. I'm like, why does that have to do anything?

[Jimmy]

Yeah, man.

[Tyler]

Yeah. So I sent you the.

[Jimmy]

The.

[Tyler]

The response.

[Mike]

Oh, and Instagram.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

So this is. This is Amy and him talking about his wife. First of all, you know, let's. Did. Yeah.

[Jimmy]

Just.

[Tyler]

It's. It's wild.

[Mike]

All right,

[Tyler]

let's address the elephant in the room.

[Mike]

The elephant in the room.

[Jimmy]

Listen, listen.

[Tyler]

Explain yourself. Amy.

[Mike]

I was in a weekend state. You had me trapped in a bus with the kids. And I have a short shelf life. I have a short shelf life in environments like that.

[Tyler]

Say I was lame next to my handsome husband in bed, and I was in a weakened state. Well, you know, not trapped in a camper with him.

[Mike]

You laid down and you were talking about the race. I was like, you just shoot. Run it yourself next year. And he looks at me like, what the hell? Who has abducted my wife and put this chick here.

[Tyler]

If I could put a suit on and walk out and climb in the car and start it up and drive it off and race like hell.

[Mike]

Hell, yes.

[Tyler]

But you got sim.

[Mike]

You're going to photo shoots.

[Tyler]

You got to get. Fit it in the suit and do all. It's just there's months of lead up Racing at the cup level. And I will always feel this way. It is an elite level. You have to be freaking badass to be there and know where all every square inch of that car is as you're traveling around the track. While it's fun and I do enjoy it, I only want to do it if I feel like I am absolutely 100% as good as I could possibly be. One of the things that bothered me when I retired was people were blaming Amy. They were like, I bet Amy told him to quit. It's Amy. It's her. She told him to stop.

[Jimmy]

Amy's.

[Tyler]

Amy told him not to do anymore. And that's not. That's not accurate at all. So when you said that the other night, I was like, man, people would not believe that. She just said that. Amy supported my choice, but she wasn't sitting there going, man, you need to stop.

[Mike]

No, I was very careful with what I said to you. Of course, I wanted you to be

[Jimmy]

healthy and safe and all the things.

[Mike]

But also, you have to be happy.

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And your choice has to be yours or you have, because you have to live with it. Yeah.

[Tyler]

Let's address the elephant in the room.

[Mike]

Elephant in the room. Listen, listen.

[Jimmy]

I'm gonna infuriate some people. He looks like a goober, man.

[Mike]

I learned a new word. It's. He's a kook. You know, a kook is not. Not a crazy person, not a cuck, not a racial slur or of two different races, but a kook. A kook is somebody that's just a dweeb. They're a dork.

[Jimmy]

Yeah. He's like. Nothing like his father.

[Tyler]

No, I mean, he is not.

[Jimmy]

He isn't. I mean, his dad walked out, glasses on, and just walked down and he's like. And he never won a championship either, right?

[Tyler]

No, he never won. He won 2 Daytona 5 hundreds.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, he had never won the championship.

[Tyler]

No, he never.

[Jimmy]

He never ran into that buzz. All of. Jimmy Johnson.

[Tyler]

He ran into Jimmy Johnson.

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Jimmy Johnson won seven championships. Yeah.

[Jimmy]

Yeah. He was on. Same as Dale.

[Tyler]

Yeah, Jimmy. Jimmy Johnson was. Was. Yeah. So I put.

[Jimmy]

Obviously put more. I put more. I put more into Dale Earnhardt's championships. Obviously, it was just a different time. And everything had to be.

[Tyler]

The team.

[Jimmy]

It was more. The driver played a huge part, but the team put the best race car together. They're so equal. Now, you see, with that Daytona, it comes down to whoever makes the best move at the best time, blocks the right way. But, you know, you had Dale Earnhardt back In the day, there'd be three cars on the lead lap. You know, they were just blowing people away.

[Mike]

So it came down to they were clearly better.

[Jimmy]

Yes. Yes.

[Tyler]

So here's right now, this is the problem right now. If you are racing at a restrictor plate track like Talladega or Daytona and you're racing in this next gen car, if you are in line and got 60 throttle down, you know, so you're pushing the gas pedal down, you're going to stay with the pack. If you get out of line and go put the pedal on the floor, you're not going to get ahead of everybody else because of how much drag that car has. Bond by design. By design. And so then the racing comes down to staying in line, staying three wide, getting a run on people and saving gas. And there's got to be a way that we can change that, that drag coefficient so that we can have these cars race. But what you are going to have is exactly what he. What you guys just talked about. You're gonna have three cars up front because they're deciding that they're gonna put the hammer down and go, yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

You get, you get a southern twang in your voice when you talk about nascar.

[Tyler]

I do, man. You're not the only one that says it. Lily says the same thing. I. I don't know. I don't know why it happens that way.

[Jimmy]

I was sick about nascar. Like I watched, I remember. So growing up in Jersey, obviously not a NASCAR area. The only time NASCAR I remember being on was like ABC Sunday. You see this car and Dale earns winning. I always remember, there goes this three car go around the track. So that's kind of where I fell into it. When I moved to Florida in 93, it became. I set up the TV train, the living room Sunday at noon, had the food, the spread, and I watched over football. I watched every single lap of every race for probably 10, 12 years straight.

[Mike]

I didn't really.

[Jimmy]

Didn't miss a lap.

[Mike]

Dude.

[Jimmy]

Every Sunday glued watching it. And I can tell you where I was standing when Earnhardt won the 500. I was in Fort Polk. And I didn't. I was during his. During operation. I didn't get to go back out. So I watched everybody leave to go out back out to the field for the aforementioned. And I stayed back with the first sergeant. I was standing in the company area when the yellow flag came out and Dale one. I can still remember it. And I was sick, man.

[Tyler]

And that was a huge deal. By the way, Mike is not giving you how awesome it was for that.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, that was, that was it.

[Mike]

That was Dale Jr?

[Jimmy]

No, Dale.

[Tyler]

Dale Senior.

[Jimmy]

He had everything go wrong that could go wrong every time. He was almost ready to win. Like, a bird flew out. He's leading on the last lap, last turn, and a seagull comes out, runs into the front of his car and takes it out, like, with like half a mile left in the race. It's like, wow.

[Tyler]

Getting a tire getting cut down, engine blowing up like crazy as it was. Like it was cursed. And, and when he fought, that was the only thing that he had not won. He had never won a Daytona 500 and the Daytona 500. It's like, if you didn't win a Daytona 500, are you really a champion? But if you do win a Daytona 500, you can win no more races. Yes, you're a champion.

[Jimmy]

You win that one race, and you are etched in history. You could win. Like, Dale won seven championships, but he's like, well, he didn't win the 500. It didn't matter. It didn't matter if he didn't win the 500. He won the 400, the Pepsi 400. He won the, the over and over blood Shootout. He won everything he could win and then finally did it. 1998.

[Mike]

Yep.

[Tyler]

And, and then, I mean, I remember, I remember when he died. I, I remember. I remember exactly my first day.

[Jimmy]

That was my first day on the road. Very first day, like, out of fto. No, I wasn't in. It was my first day in FTO. I graduated the academy. My first shift was February 18, 2001. The first shift was the day he died. Holy. I watched it. I worked for, I worked for Florida. We worked 3 to 11. I was at 3. The race was wrapping up. I was standing in the gym. We were getting ready to go out for our shift, watch the race end. But we didn't see that. I didn't know he died. I watched the end of the race, saw the crash, saw that Michael Walter won. I was like, oh, whatever. Jumped in the car for the first time. We're driving down the road and then started coming across. We didn't have cell phones. Then we started coming across the radio on fm like, d. Hard is dead. And I'm like, I just watched the wreath, like, what are you talking about? So that was my first shift.

[Tyler]

I mean, I, I, that's the first time I ever saw my grandpa cry.

[Jimmy]

It was rough. It was a rough day.

[Tyler]

I'm not, I'm not. You can laugh all you want.

[Jimmy]

You Are you are laughing?

[Mike]

That's the first time I saw my grandpa died. My grandpa cry was when Dale died.

[Tyler]

It was true, though.

[Mike]

I mean, but culturally, he was a real life Superman then. That's the video as I'm seeing it. Everyone up it. All the fans up it, all the racers up it up all the admin it up. NASCAR in general, because that wasn't supposed to happen. And then everybody's like, holy. They took it. Superman. And it was such a menial crash. I don't want to say menial, but nobody expected it. Instead of. Then the one guy in the. In the. In the skybox, the infamous. He's like, I hope Dale's okay. And he started like, yeah, that's.

[Tyler]

That's. That was Michael Waltrip's brother. That's Daryl.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

He had been racing against. He had raced against. In the early parts of their career, Daryl and Dale were going at it all the time. They hated each other on the track. They were really wrecking each other left and right. If you want to watch a really good documentary when you go home or while you're cutting reels, go watch Blink of an Eye. It's free. You can find it on YouTube. You can find it on Tubi. You can. You can find that. That. Yeah, Blink of an Eye, dude. With Michael Waltrip. And. And, like, it shows you, like, just how bad that was. It's about Michael Waltrip and his. He was Dale. Dale Earnhardt's best friend. And so he talks about, you know, growing up. It's Daryl Waltrip's brother. Being the little brother.

[Mike]

All.

[Tyler]

I don't want to give it away because, I mean, like, he had a pretty rough career. Finally got his big break with his buddy Dale Earnhardt. And, you know, just watch it, dude.

[Jimmy]

Yeah. Think about the irony. Think about the irony of his death. He died in turn four while pushing his son and his son's co racer, the two cars he owns.

[Tyler]

Best friend. Best friend.

[Jimmy]

The last act he did was push those two cars to the lead. So his two cars are now winning the race. Michael Waltrip, his best friend's gonna win. His son is in second place, and he dies as they're crossing the finish line. Like, dude, it's like you can't even make that story up.

[Tyler]

And it gets even better when you go back when you go to the July race of that same year.

[Jimmy]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

And I don't want to give that away, but.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, like, if you were ever

[Tyler]

gonna make a movie, that would be.

[Mike]

Wait, wait, Wait, wait. Just go. The July race of that same year. That and what happened?

[Jimmy]

So they have junior wins the Pepsi 400.

[Mike]

That's where everybody was like the first race back. Yeah.

[Jimmy]

The first big race back at the track. I, yeah. So I have a slight conspiracy. Jimmy's gonna hate on that one. Now go back. And if you go back and watch that race, Dale's car, Dale Jr's car was jacked. There was a, there was a dent in the front of the car, and for some reason, his car was able to go about 10 miles an hour faster than everybody else. I'm not saying they did anything illegal, but I remember there being front end damage to his car and that.

[Tyler]

Yeah, there was, Was like a rocket ship.

[Jimmy]

There was like, no stopping that car. Yeah, he won that race. And I'm like, somebody shaved that restriction plate a little bit open and let that little oxygen in there.

[Tyler]

There. Remember also, Michael Waltrip came out of the pits for the last eight or last 11 laps and was in 40th. Yeah, right. He was in last place and somehow in the course of three laps, went from number 40 to number two.

[Jimmy]

Yeah. Okay, I remember that was a hell of a race. That was a hell of a situation. But that is a. I, I, I

[Tyler]

don't, I mean, dude, you know as well as I do, Dale was doing some of that to his cars, too. So, like, I can't. Yeah, I, I, I. Even if that's the truth. And they were like, hey, we over tweaked this.

[Jimmy]

I was rude for him, so I didn't care. It's like, but, you know, the equivalent of Dale, the way Dale Earnhardt would be like, Michael Jordan dying mid game on the court, Best player in the world, and he just falls down and dies. And everybody's like, what just happened?

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he falls down and they take him away. And you're like, okay. So that was just as he, as he liked it.

[Jimmy]

As he hit the game winning shot, you're like, oh, I went in. He's on the ground. Oh, they're celebrating. And they're like, michael Jordan died during that shot. You're just like, what? Like, that was the equivalent. It was like a generational talent of like, everybody knew who he was. Everybody hate him or love him. It was like he was an icon. He was just his image. You can even do an outline of his image. And it's like, you know, it is like, you know who that guy is.

[Mike]

I really, really want to dress up Matt as Jalen Hart one day.

[Tyler]

He's got it. Oh, man. Yeah, he just doesn't have sign autographs. We'd have to. We'd have to put him in a young Dale Earnhardt suit. We had to put him in the, the yellow and blue wrangler.

[Jimmy]

I don't know. The bf. I think the BF good, Rich.

[Mike]

Yeah, he's got it.

[Tyler]

You think, you think it would be.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, I mean, it's just. I don't think anybody young enough would remember the wrangler days.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I don't. That's fair. Yeah, well, I mean you weren't. You weren't a NASCAR guy to begin with.

[Mike]

Me, you wouldn't remember. Yeah, no, I've. I've been races ever since I was five. I just. I'm not obsessed with it like y'. All. I grew up 40 minutes from the Martinsville.

[Jimmy]

I know you're not American, dude. It's not. It's all right.

[Mike]

40 minutes from Martinville. And then I lived in Daytona in college for like five years after. Well, I didn't go.

[Tyler]

Daytona's awesome, man. Daytona. Daytona is. Daytona is, is one of the coolest places to be. And you're right.

[Mike]

Going to the track where you're talking about Daytona.

[Tyler]

I'm talking about the speedway. I'm talking about. Yeah, I'm talking about right there around the speedway. Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about.

[Jimmy]

There was a couple homos there the other day.

[Mike]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Tyler]

I mean they're. Aren't they gunning fools day? Oh, no, that's Jacksonville. They're gun pulls down in Jacksonville.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, they're knocking them down.

[Tyler]

Whatever agency is out there, they straight

[Jimmy]

don't give a. Jacksonville sheriff's office, man, they're balls of the wall.

[Mike]

We're talking about nascar.

[Tyler]

We were, we are.

[Jimmy]

He thought he got Daytona and Jacksonville confused as far as the cops killing people.

[Mike]

Yeah, Daytona, that I remember. I was living there when they did Daytona one. They spruced up the entire like three mile stretch on International Speedway Boulevard and just made it a tourist thing. But it goes to show if you're not. They don't let bums around there. They're very conservative with their homeless when it comes to touching their, their money. They'll push them out everywhere else in Daytona. Then they'll let bums be everywhere. Bike week. And like all that on the strip is gross garbage. International Speedway Boulevard right there, that's. That is pristine. Oh, it's nice.

[Tyler]

It's perfect year round. Yeah, I worked for. When I worked for Coca Cola. Well, I didn't Work for Coca Cola. I worked for a company that was contracted by Coca Cola to put in the access control and the. The cameras at their main headquarters there in Daytona and up at the track. And we went up into the box in. At the track, and it was awesome.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, I got to go to the NASCAR box to see where all the stuff happens and the control. It's wild. Wild, isn't it? All the. That's going on in there.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it's like mission control, dude.

[Jimmy]

Yes, it's.

[Tyler]

It's.

[Jimmy]

Except they really landed. They really. They really landed on the track.

[Tyler]

They really raced those cars. One day, man. One day. I mean, when.

[Jimmy]

When, When.

[Tyler]

When these guys come back from the moon and they've taken pictures of the Apollo 11 landing site, what are you gonna say then?

[Jimmy]

I want to be wrong. I want to be wrong. I want to be wrong.

[Mike]

They're going to make sure that they provide something. Oh, we got five minutes. Talk about aliens.

[Jimmy]

Oh, yeah, yeah, I forgot.

[Tyler]

What was I thinking?

[Mike]

Yeah, that's how much we don't care about that anymore, is that nobody even thought about in the last hour. 55 minutes.

[Jimmy]

Well, the Supreme Court also just ruled that Trump's tariffs are illegal, and he's raised, like, $325 billion doing them.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Jimmy]

The Supreme Court ruled that his current terrorists are, like, unconstitutional, and he can't do it.

[Mike]

So you got to give that money back.

[Jimmy]

And then Trump calls Supreme Court tariff decision disgrace. So we'll see.

[Tyler]

Christ. Yeah, so I. I was seeing the. The stuff on Twitter, and everybody was talking about, like, it was Marco Rubio dressed up as a man in black. You know, it was. It was all of this, and I. I had to, like, go. I actually had to go, like, figure out what was going on, because I. It was like I had missed, like, 12 hours of a joke. And what is happening here? And all it is, is Trump just said, I want you to declassify everything that we know about aliens.

[Jimmy]

Give me aliens.

[Tyler]

Yeah, it. To me, it was like, God, what is that meme? Like, it's from Austin Powers, right? And they're like, release this.

[Mike]

Release this.

[Tyler]

We gotta get. We gotta get people paying attention to aliens rather than whatever the.

[Mike]

Is going on right now screaming, yeah, yeah, it's.

[Tyler]

I mean, I don't have any evidence that there's aliens right now. It's not like they came out and said, yep, we met with the Grays 15 years ago, and. And this is how we do it.

[Jimmy]

We are the aliens. How about that? That's my theory.

[Tyler]

I I gotta crack.

[Jimmy]

We crashed and killed the dinosaurs, and we are the aliens.

[Tyler]

My. My theory. My theory is it's a closed system. Nothing gets in, nothing gets out.

[Jimmy]

The Truman Show.

[Tyler]

It's whatever we see that we. That looks like aliens. That is. That is the. The spiritual battlefield that we're getting a peek into.

[Mike]

Amen, Jimmy. Amen.

[Tyler]

That's. That's what I think. I don't. I mean, I think Mike out here

[Mike]

preaching blasphemy

[Jimmy]

couldn't be religiously involved. I'm just saying, like, it's not. We. Maybe we crashed here.

[Tyler]

But here's the thing. Even if they're. Even if they come out and they go, yep, aliens are real. They're real. Here's the pictures. It doesn't change anything about my. My faith at all. Like, it does nothing. Because, I mean, the Bible says creation. Yeah, all of creation, you know, shows the. The power and the glory of. Of the Father. So, like, I'm good with that. But I will say this. In the Bible, it does say we were created in the image of God. That means that we can't get in trouble for killing godless aliens. They should all die. I'm. I'm proposing a xenocide.

[Jimmy]

There's a way to go to war. We're going to find a way to go to war with it. So we'll.

[Mike]

We'll definitely.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah, you cannot.

[Mike]

You go ahead, go, go, go. Paint pain.

[Tyler]

I was gonna say, you cannot get in trouble spiritually for killing aliens. They were not created in the image of God. It's be like saying, hey, I got in trouble for killing this cow. You know, like, I'm sorry. I have dominion over this. I'm. I'm totally good with killing all the aliens. Kill them all.

[Mike]

Shoot him dead. Praise Dale Tucker says aliens are demons.

[Tyler]

Tucker Carlson. Yeah. Didn't he get caught CIA the other day?

[Jimmy]

He got. He claimed that the. He got detained in Israel and, like, like, yelled at and all this. And they got pictures from the. He's, like, hugging everybody and taking pictures with him. He got caught up in something over, like, this past week.

[Tyler]

Yes, he got. He got. He says he got detained in Israel

[Jimmy]

and, like, treated like, really bad. And then they got, like, video from the lobby and he's, like, hugging everybody and taking pictures with him.

[Mike]

Yeah, he lied.

[Jimmy]

I mean, he said he got, like, detained and, like, oh, and then there's video. I got released.

[Tyler]

I got detained in Israel.

[Jimmy]

Smoking and joking.

[Tyler]

I got. I got legit detained in Israel and handcuffed to a table for two and a half hours.

[Jimmy]

You asked him about that math, didn't you?

[Tyler]

No, I flew from Erbil, Iraq, into Israel as an American contractor.

[Jimmy]

They didn't like that.

[Tyler]

And.

[Mike]

Yeah. All right, guys, make sure you go to our merch store, get some designs like this. Forever an anti hero. Other badass. Hats, stickers, T shirts, hoodies. You name it, we got it. Of course, Mike is going to shamelessly plug his company any chance he gets, except for wearing the actual shirts, because I guess maybe he doesn't have any hoodies available. So that. We'll see you guys Monday morning, 11 o'. Clock. Flagship broadcasts

[Jimmy]

at 3 o'. Clock.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah, we have open mic, and I'm the worst. Open mic at 3pm Eastern Standard Time on the Canonical Dream with Nick.

[Jimmy]

Nick, update on his girlfriend. Right?

[Mike]

Scuttlebutt. Yep, Scuttlebutt. The network. I think Nick's gonna talk about his girlfriend, Summer, who's in jail or prison or whatever. So 3:00pm Eastern Standard Time. We'll see you guys Monday morning. Jv team for life.
