Transcript

[Oregon Lottery Representative]

In the summer, all of Oregon is our playground thanks to our incredible park system. That's why it's so cool that Oregon lottery gameplay, like video lottery or cash pop, helps support tons of parks. Projects statewide, like accessible trails at Silver Falls State park or upgrades to your favorite dog park in Newburgh. It's just one way a little lottery play for many Oregonians can add up to a lot of good. The Oregon Lottery. Together, we do good things. Lottery games are based on chance and should be played for entertainment only. Must be 18 or older to play.

[Nick Freitas]

Protestants and Catholics need to stop bickering and focus on the real enemy.

[Michael Knowles]

The Jews.

[Nick Freitas]

No, no. That's the Jehovah's Witness.

[Michael Knowles]

Welcome to yes or no, the bibulous battle to discover who knows whom better. My guest today is Nick Freitas, a former US Army Green Beret, current Virginia state delegate. How do we play? I will ask Nick a yes or no question. He will select his answer away from my prying eyes. Then I'll guess how he answered. If I guess correctly, I get a point. If I guess incorrectly, I lose a point. No matter what, I will probably drink. Then it's Nick's turn. Neither of us has seen the questions beforehand. Whoever has the most points at the end wins. The stakes could be higher. Let's get started. Nick, thank you for being here.

[Nick Freitas]

Pleasure, Michael. Pleasure.

[Michael Knowles]

I often have a wager at the top of this show, but I'm gonna let the audience in on this. Yeah, it's early in the morning. I was out late last night. We're drinking martinis and what is it?

[Nick Freitas]

Just bourbon on the rocks.

[Michael Knowles]

Borough, Tennessee Mimosa.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

At about 8:30 in the morning.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah, allegedly.

[Michael Knowles]

So I don't know. The only thing I can even think to wager, and something I think you'll appreciate is a box of my beautiful Mayflower cigars.

[Nick Freitas]

Oh, gosh, you're too kind.

[Michael Knowles]

Now, I don't know. Do you have a wager?

[Nick Freitas]

I'll tell you what. So you have revealed, and I'm now going to reveal to the world, you don't own a pistol.

[Michael Knowles]

I don't own a pistol. That's embarrassing.

[Nick Freitas]

You will get a pistol of my choosing.

[Michael Knowles]

Wow.

[Nick Freitas]

All right, now, it may have some bling on it. I don't know. It could be something embarrassing.

[Michael Knowles]

Right.

[Nick Freitas]

Get something really cool and tactical. But I think that's unfair. I would feel bad if I left you. Wow.

[Michael Knowles]

Wow. I'm honored. And listen, if you feel gypped or anything at the end, you always give me a cap gun. Or something, you know, like a little flag.

[Nick Freitas]

I didn't say this could get really bad for you.

[Michael Knowles]

All right, so I'm. If you were a lady, I would say you go first. But I'm. We're men.

[Nick Freitas]

But you're the ladies.

[Michael Knowles]

I'm the lady. If I don't own a pistol, Certainly. Okay. Is Jasmine Crockett more dangerous than aoc? I need to guess how you will answer. Is Jasmine Crockett more dangerous than aoc? Let's say you would say no, correct?

[Nick Freitas]

That's correct.

[Michael Knowles]

Why not?

[Nick Freitas]

AOC is actually much better at the public facing component of this. Jasmine Crockett is very loud, but she also is far easier to caricature, which is saying something because AOC is incredibly easy to caricature. But I actually think she's much more charismatic and she's much more politically savvy than Jasmine cross. Yeah, yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

AOC this is not 2018 anymore. AOC has grown. She's gotten better at this. She's also obviously running for president.

[Nick Freitas]

Yes.

[Michael Knowles]

And she's doing it relatively well, actually.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah. She's running to be the last president of the Soviet Socialist Republic of the United States. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. So now we both have to Dr.

[Michael Knowles]

We both get to drink.

[Nick Freitas]

All right, that sounds good. Yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

M. Breakfast of champions.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah, you're up. Okay. The clearest sign that we live in a new political paradigm is that conservatives are now the ones who love electric cars.

[Michael Knowles]

How would I answer? I need to figure out how I would answer first before you can guess how I would answer.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah, I was about to guess. I was like, he hasn't pushed a button yet. I'm not doing this crap. He's going to change his mind. Yeah. I think you would say no to that.

[Michael Knowles]

You got me. You got me. It's close, but I would say the clearest sign for me that we're in a new political paradigm.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

The clearest sign is that a Kennedy is serving in the Republican administration. Two Democrat presidential candidates are actually in this administration. But the second clearest, the cultural sign, all the weird, crunchy hippie moms are on the right.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

They used to be very firmly on the left, but the hippies are on the right.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah. If you are free range, educating your children while making sourdough, it's like you are hardcore.

[Michael Knowles]

You're a fascist.

[Nick Freitas]

Oh, yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

You are a Francisco Franco following black shirt Haven fascist. Yes, that's true.

[Nick Freitas]

So, yeah. So I agree. The electric cars, that's definitely not something I saw coming. Yeah. I still make fun of my Friends who possess them. But you're not the weirdest, Right?

[Michael Knowles]

Okay. All right. Before I state this prompt, we have to watch a video.

[Nick Freitas]

Okay.

[Michael Knowles]

You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. People don't believe it. You know a suicide when you see one. And that's what that was.

[Nick Freitas]

He killed himself. Again, you want me to. I've seen the whole file. He killed himself.

[Michael Knowles]

I don't care what these feds say. Epstein definitely didn't kill himself. I have to guess how you would answer. It's actually phrased in a difficult way because. Say yes. I don't care what these feds say. Epstein killed himself or no. I can't tell if it's like a double negative.

[Nick Freitas]

No, I would say that a yes would be agreeing with the statement. A no would be disagreeing.

[Michael Knowles]

Got it.

[Oregon Lottery Representative]

Got it.

[Nick Freitas]

I mean, I'm happy to explain how your game works to you.

[Michael Knowles]

Thank you. I could use every episode. I need it. You don't think Epstein killed himself?

[Nick Freitas]

I absolutely do not think he killed himself.

[Michael Knowles]

Look, here's my hang up. I don't know Kash Patel personally. I've heard good things. I just don't know him. I do know Dan Bongino. I've known Dan Bongino for years. I don't think Dan would lie. Yeah, now he could have. It's possible he got it wrong. He read a report. Maybe he's insinuating that Epstein was allowed to kill himself or what, But. So I don't know what to think. I'm confident Dan would not lie. I just don't know Cash. But it is kind of crazy that. Because I was pretty certain he didn't kill himself.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

So what's going on?

[Nick Freitas]

Oh, yeah. No, again, I don't claim to be drinking buddies with either one of them. I've met Cash. I've never met Dan. I think both of them have always struck me as trustworthy guys and willing to say unpopular things when they believe it is true. So I'm not accusing either one of them of lying.

[Michael Knowles]

But lying implies intention.

[Nick Freitas]

Yes.

[Michael Knowles]

They could have just gotten it wrong.

[Nick Freitas]

Yes. Yeah, that. And when Cash goes through this whole thing of like, as a public defender, as a prosecutor, as this. Okay, well, as a guy that know that politicians love to cover their own ass, there's no way that dude killed himself. Right? Or even. Even if it was one of those things, because here's the deal. You can't, technically, at least in my world, kill yourself under duress. So if it's one of those issues, killing yourself and the way I Kind of the purest. That sounds horrible.

[Michael Knowles]

Right?

[Nick Freitas]

But the form of. It's, I don't want to necessarily do, or I want to die, and so I'm killing myself.

[Michael Knowles]

Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

[Nick Freitas]

I don't think Epstein wanted to die. And even if. Even if he's the one, like, let's say he physically caused himself to die, I don't think that was. Because that's what Jeff had planned that after.

[Michael Knowles]

Yeah, that is a very intimidating analysis coming from a Green Beret like Michael. I want to make a distinction here. You can't really kill yourself under duress.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

All right, you're up.

[Nick Freitas]

Okay.

[Michael Knowles]

I think we get to drink now.

[Nick Freitas]

Yes, absolutely. Yeah. Jeff didn't freaking kill himself.

[Michael Knowles]

All right.

[Nick Freitas]

Oh, well, here we go. We also have a video prompt first.

[Michael Knowles]

Okay.

[Nick Freitas]

So go ahead. I can't believe this crap. 22 years of marriage, 3 kids, 2 combat deployments, and my wife sits down today and tells me she doesn't love me anymore. That's not what I said. What'd you say? I said, I think it's time to shave the beard. It's the same damn thing. Okay. With one year of fully committed facial hair cultivation, you, Michael Knowles, could grow a beard.

[Michael Knowles]

Okay. With one year.

[Nick Freitas]

One year. Committed? Yes, committed. There may be ointments. Yeah, there may be some.

[Michael Knowles]

Like, for men. Jail.

[Nick Freitas]

I don't.

[Michael Knowles]

Okay.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

No shaving on Sundays. Okay.

[Nick Freitas]

I don't think you even believe that.

[Michael Knowles]

Wow. Little faith that we have. All right, so what could happen? I've got a sweet little baby face here. I can grow a mustache in about 45 minutes. The mustache I've had since I was, like, 11 or something. But the beard, I've always struggled. So over the decades, the huge patches, they've shrunk down. But then I still get Even today I'm 35 years old. I have three boys. I still get the little patch here. I get the little patch. Whatever. I don't. So what it really comes down to not to sound like Bill Clinton. It depends on what the definition of the word beard is. Because if you're saying you say, could I have a beard without a single patch anywhere?

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

No.

[Nick Freitas]

Well, Michael, let me help you.

[Michael Knowles]

Yeah.

[Nick Freitas]

The definition of a beard. You have boobs. For you.

[Michael Knowles]

That's a glorious.

[Nick Freitas]

So the funniest thing, there's a. I.

[Michael Knowles]

Bet you shaved yesterday, and you just.

[Nick Freitas]

Sort of cocked sprouted over there. All the razors used to break until I used Jeremy. So when I was in Iraq. All right, so. Cause in Afghanistan, a lot of guys grew Beards. In Iraq, we grew big mustaches. Cause it was cultural. Cultural differences.

[Michael Knowles]

You wanted the full Saddam.

[Nick Freitas]

Oh, I had a massive mustache. Like, this thing was so far out of rags, it wasn't funny. And also my Portuguese jeans means I also have, like, two huge eyebrows that are constantly trying to fuse. And so my joke was like, oh, no, no. I don't have one mustache. I have my eyebrows.

[Michael Knowles]

You have three.

[Nick Freitas]

Are actually backup mustaches in case we ever gotta go to war on three continents. You're welcome.

[Michael Knowles]

That seems like a better post then if you're thinking about the global war on terror and you're strictly judging it by the facial hair.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

Less itchy. Way cooler. You feel like Tom Selleck in the 80s. Or Saddam who had drip. For all his flaws. The guy had drip.

[Nick Freitas]

My nickname to the Iraqis was Abu Shwab, which is father of mustache. Because, like I'm telling you, this thing. This thing was massive. My wife, My beautiful bride Tina does not mind facial hair. When she saw a picture of that, she's like, baby, that doesn't come home with you.

[Michael Knowles]

That's too much.

[Nick Freitas]

That does not come home with you.

[Michael Knowles]

You got.

[Nick Freitas]

You're gonna end up on Dateline with that thing.

[Michael Knowles]

Yeah. No, you don't. Did you. So luckily you didn't have to shave at all, though. Cause I assume you had Saddam here. And then it was like, uday Housay. I'm keeping these at least.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah, Yeah, I got to keep those.

[Michael Knowles]

That's good.

[Nick Freitas]

But those even got trimmed down a little bit. Yeah, just like Udhan's.

[Michael Knowles]

Just like Udanza.

[Jordan Peterson]

Before we go on, you stop what you're doing. You go to helixsleep.com knowles, I've told you for a while about how my little boy is soon going to be switching from a crib to a bed. How I was thinking about treating him, indulging him with a Helix mattress. Well, the time is now, my friends. My little toddler is beautiful. Helix mattress is being shipped, and he is going to be so excited. I just don't want to spoil him.

[Michael Knowles]

That's. But it's so good.

[Jordan Peterson]

I want my kids to have the very best. I figure I've had my Helix mattress for what, five years now or something like that? Why not give the children the same privilege? They don't just sell you a random mattress at Helix. They match you with the perfect one for your body and sleep style. Whether you're a side sleeper, a back sleeper, somewhere in between, they got you covered.

[Michael Knowles]

You take the sleep quiz.

[Michael Knowles]

Now that censorship has been lifted, can we finally admit the 2020 election was rigged? And I'm not talking about Trump versus Biden. I mean, Freitas versus Spanish. What would you say? I think you would say no.

[Nick Freitas]

No.

[Michael Knowles]

You know why? Because no politician ever would publicly say the election was rigged, even though every single election is rigged because of all the shenanigans that have gone in every. We're talking party committees. We're talking up to the general. There's always shenanigans. This was the advice FDR gave to LBJ when LBJ lost his first big race. He said, oh, buddy, you forgot to sit on the ballot box. You blew it.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah, but.

[Michael Knowles]

So you would say, no, it wasn't rigged.

[Nick Freitas]

What people generally mean when they say rigged is illegal voting.

[Michael Knowles]

Yes.

[Nick Freitas]

That's what they mean. Now, if you want to go through the whole idea that the. And I was there when they did it, where they changed all of the election laws in Virginia during a special election, which legally they should not have done.

[Michael Knowles]

Yeah.

[Nick Freitas]

If you want to talk about all of the other, you know, crazy, there's one thing. There's one thing that always gives me pause in my particular election, and that was we were winning on election night. We're winning election morning. I can't remember when exactly it was day of or day before a thumb drive, an unmarked thumb drive shows up in the bluest county in the district with 15,000 votes. Now, the voter ID numbers matched up. Okay, but chain of custody issues there.

[Michael Knowles]

Yeah. Yeah. That's curious.

[Nick Freitas]

I once had a reporter sit down and talk about, you know, was the election rigged and whatnot. I said, look, there's a lot of shady stuff that went on. We were talking about Trump. And she goes, well, I just think this is irresponsible. I said, can I ask you a question? Yeah. If Nick Freitas, right, was behind in the polls on election night, was behind on the tally on election night, behind the next day, behind in the after. And then all of a sudden, a thumb drive. A thumb drive shows up. That golly gee willikers, we just miss marked in my home district that is 64% Trump, and all of a sudden I won. Would you have written an article on that?

[Michael Knowles]

So that's different.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah, yeah, I probably would have. Yeah. But you won't on this one, will you? And that's why you're a fraud. Right? So, yeah, yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

That whole thing, it was so amazing because the Democrats had to keep up the ruse that there was no question about extending election day to election season months and moving these ballot boxes, these drop off boxes, even illegally. First of all, they shouldn't exist in the first place, but second of all, moving them in some cases illegally, far away from county clerks with money that came from Big Tech and Mark Zuckerberg through these left wing orgs. I mean, point after point, opening yourself up to fraud.

[Nick Freitas]

I'm gonna say this. I'm not saying it's not possible that I lost due to fraud. I'm saying that until I have definitive evidence on something like that, you don't wanna look like a sore loser.

[Michael Knowles]

I know, I know.

[Nick Freitas]

It's not even a sore loser. It's just I don't like, I'm big on. Take responsibility. Yes, I can point to all the things that, hey, we could have done this better, we could have done this better, we could have done that better. So I'm gonna focus on things I can control.

[Michael Knowles]

Yeah, yeah. That was like Nixon. And I think it's the respectable, manly thing to do, but Nixon, who very possibly had a presidential election stolen from him and then had the presidency stolen from him by dirty, rotten, deep state actors. And this guy never complained about it. He just went. He kind of took his lumps. You know, he stepped down.

[Nick Freitas]

I wouldn't say he never complained.

[Michael Knowles]

I'm sure he privately complained. I mean, he never went out there. This was a rigged election in 1960 or, you know, these guys threw me. He did his one big interview with Frost and just. He just took it like a man. And you just think that guy. That was like the trial run for 2020. All right, all right.

[Nick Freitas]

Protestants and Catholics need to stop bickering and focus on the real enemy.

[Michael Knowles]

The Jews.

[Nick Freitas]

The Amish.

[Michael Knowles]

Oh, the Amish.

[Nick Freitas]

Oh. Hmm. So we're still targeting Germans? That's.

[Michael Knowles]

Yeah, that's good.

[Nick Freitas]

Okay. Yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

All right. The Amish. Wow. Really? I have strong feelings in both directions on this, so I don't want you to think I'm just trying to Cheat you out of a point and get a sweet pistol, though. I'd like that, too. This is a reluctant answer. The reason I almost said yes is the Amish are Anabaptists.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

Means second baptism. And I was once debating this with a Protestant friend of mine, and he said, michael, we were talking about infant baptism, and if you're. Some people don't like infant baptism, I think you should be even baptized again as an adult. And he said, well, I'm a Protestant, but I don't think that. Because the Holy Spirit acts in baptism, and I think to take it far, to be provocative, I think it could be a blaspheming of the Holy Spirit to be baptized a second time because you're denying the efficacy of the. We confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I said, wow, that is some harsh Amishophobia. You know, that is some anti Anabaptist rhetoric. But the reason that the Amish are not the true enemies of Western civilization is because they are showing an example of a kind of trad life. The horses and buggies, the great wooden furniture. They raise a barn in, like, three seconds. Big families.

[Nick Freitas]

Oh, that's my. That's my thing.

[Michael Knowles]

They got drip. It's awesome.

[Nick Freitas]

No, the best thing about the Amish is they have demonstrated what a absolute sham building regulations are. I mean, like, a barn goes down in Amish country, it's up the next day. Why? No unions, no permits. It's like Jedidiah just comes over with all of his buddies, boom, that thing's back up. I mean, look, there's a lot of reasons to appreciate the Amish, even though I might not agree with them theologically, but are they the primary enemy? No, no, that's the Jehovah's Witness.

[Michael Knowles]

The Jehovah's Witness. It's like every time I want to celebrate a birthday party, they come in there and tell me I can't.

[Nick Freitas]

And never once have I had two Amish people just show up to my door and want to talk to me in the middle of the game.

[Michael Knowles]

They never want to talk to me.

[Nick Freitas]

No, it's like this.

[Michael Knowles]

You know, the Amish, too, they. In modernity, they just show you. It's like you can have a family. You can have nice things. You can dress like a respectable person. It can happen.

[Nick Freitas]

And my daughter's like. And they have horses so that. She was sold there.

[Michael Knowles]

Yeah.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah, she was sold there.

[Michael Knowles]

Am I being drawn to Amishism? I don't think. Is that gonna work? You know, folks, if you want to play this game at home, you can do so by going to dailywire.com shop. You can get the yes or no game. You can get the expansion pack, the conspiracy theory expansion pack, the philosophy, politics, and religion expansion pack. If you're feeling saucy, you can get the relationships, the erotic. Not erotic. I don't want to overstate it.

[Nick Freitas]

Okay.

[Michael Knowles]

It's totally wholesome, but it's about, you know. Amor, it is time. Now, should I warn them that Nick does not come with the game? You have to order him separately.

[Nick Freitas]

I come with the erotic one.

[Michael Knowles]

Nick, are you ready for the rapid fire round?

[Nick Freitas]

All right, let's do this thing.

[Michael Knowles]

See that? We even changed the lights. That's how you know it's serious.

[Nick Freitas]

Up the stakes.

[Michael Knowles]

There are three questions, 30 seconds. No time to outthink each other. So I read that prompt. You're gonna throw down your answer. I'm gonna guess, and we're gonna.

[Nick Freitas]

Okay.

[Michael Knowles]

Is it. The clock's going. Is it true what they say about the Navy? You would say yes for sure.

[Nick Freitas]

Oh, yeah. Absolutely.

[Michael Knowles]

No one should put their kids in public school. You would say yes. Yeah. Okay. All right. I didn't know if there was something. Well, actually, in this one county, isn't it.

[Nick Freitas]

No.

[Michael Knowles]

Raising daughters is harder than raising sons. Oh, crap. Obviously. Yes.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah, yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

Without question. All right, all right. It's probably not. It's not easier for the first, like, three and a half years of life, but then every day after that, it's got to be much harder.

[Nick Freitas]

Here's the crazy part. Like, my. My girls were easy the whole way. The thing is, is that for a dad, what constitutes harder is what we worry about more.

[Michael Knowles]

Yes.

[Nick Freitas]

And with my son, like, it was just like, oh, you got hurt. Try not being a wuss. What do you want to be more competent? With my girls, Like, I'm like, oh, no. You know. You know, sweet pea. Like, are you okay? You know, like, sweetheart. Yeah. And then you have to worry about, like, you know, the boys out there that you might have to kill. But. Yeah. No, no. All those. It's. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. That seems. I don't know. That seems.

[Michael Knowles]

It's kind of like the drinks, though, when you say the boys out there, you might have to kill us. As a father of daughters.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

Isn't it more like the guys out there you might get to kill?

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah. No, I have one of my more famous coffee mugs is the whole. The hardest part about having daughters is having to bury the bodies. And then it's like. Just kidding. It's not that hard shovel.

[Michael Knowles]

Okay.

[Nick Freitas]

I kind of feel like you got some really easy ones there. All right, here we go. Can you be a trad wife if you are actively on social media? I actually think you would say yes.

[Michael Knowles]

No. Let's go.

[Nick Freitas]

Michael would last more than three days in Green Beret training. So I feel like I can answer this authoritatively, like, on whether or not you could. I think you're gonna try to be humble and say no, but I honestly think it's yes.

[Michael Knowles]

Do you think I could?

[Nick Freitas]

Yes.

[Michael Knowles]

I'm happy that I lost that point.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah. Yeah. Because the first three days are more like orientation and paperwork. You'd be fine.

[Michael Knowles]

Just check into your locker, fluff your pillow. Yeah.

[Nick Freitas]

Oh, that's cute. You think we get pillows? All right. This isn't the Navy, Michael. All right. Congressmen should have to smoke a blunt at least once before voting on weed decriminalization. I'm gonna say you'd say no on that.

[Michael Knowles]

I would say no. They should be forced to smoke Mayflower cigars every day at their own cost, regardless of legislation.

[Nick Freitas]

Wow. Well, I got crushed in that.

[Michael Knowles]

You did, but the questions were easier for me.

[Nick Freitas]

Oh, yeah. I figured.

[Michael Knowles]

Wow.

[Nick Freitas]

Really wanted a pistol.

[Michael Knowles]

And you think that I could survive the first three? I could at least survive the bus ride. That's great.

[Nick Freitas]

That's day one.

[Michael Knowles]

That's good.

[Nick Freitas]

All right.

[Michael Knowles]

That's great. Now, Nick.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

It is time for the final round.

[Nick Freitas]

Okay. Now you can. Now it's time.

[Michael Knowles]

The prompt will be read. We will both lock in our answers, and then we will move our glasses the opposite glass to yes or no, based on how we think the other person would answer. This round is worth double points. It could change everything. Who's winning?

[Nick Freitas]

You?

[Michael Knowles]

I am. Let's go. Let's go. Oh, man. I'm gonna get the nicest cap gun that Walmart has to offer. This is great. The war in Gaza will end before the war in Ukraine. We have to answer how we would individually answer, then move our cups.

[Nick Freitas]

Okay.

[Michael Knowles]

Now, hold on. Set up the cups here. Right here on the show. You would say.

[Nick Freitas]

You know what? That wouldn't have spilled if you were actually drinking.

[Michael Knowles]

I know. That's embarrassing. That's more embarrassing than not having a piss. But I don't know if you know this. I could survive the first three days of green braid raining.

[Nick Freitas]

I heard that. Subway.

[Michael Knowles]

This is. I just want to show. This is. I am humiliated.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

Nick has actually done the job and had most of the Tennessee mimosa. And me, at this rate, I'm Never gonna get to my olives, which is the breakfast.

[Nick Freitas]

So, yeah, so we both said, I believe now. And I think you would say for sure.

[Michael Knowles]

The war in Gaza is gonna go on until the apocalypse.

[Nick Freitas]

Yes.

[Michael Knowles]

And the war in Ukraine, it'll go on for a while. You know, people have been fighting over Ukraine for like 1100. But there are periods of peace, I'm sure.

[Nick Freitas]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

That's my.

[Nick Freitas]

No, no, no, no, no. Gaza's not ending until Jesus comes back to tell us all that the Protestants.

[Michael Knowles]

Were right, that the Amish were right. Wow. The Mennonites, huh? I didn't get out of my car.

[Nick Freitas]

The Anabaptists.

[Michael Knowles]

All right, now you're right.

[Nick Freitas]

Okay, okay. All right, Come on. This isn't even a question. If you have sons, you have an obligation to show them a father who is strong both mentally and physically.

[Michael Knowles]

Shut up, Davey.

[Nick Freitas]

I'm sick of this.

[Michael Knowles]

Every time on this show, Davies makes.

[Nick Freitas]

Something what a freaking like, here we go. There we go.

[Michael Knowles]

Yes, you do. And my kids are gonna get that because I almost beat my associate producer in an arm wrestle on the air the other day. So take that, Davies.

[Nick Freitas]

And could potentially survive three days of green break.

[Michael Knowles]

Three days. That's the bus ride.

[Nick Freitas]

They're not consecutive. Like the first day, the last day of graduation. Yeah, yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

And maybe you could cobble together 24 hours in the middle, mostly sleeping, I would say maybe eating, I don't know.

[Nick Freitas]

Although I gotta say, I think it's with the way things are going right now because, you know, every time. Because Hollywood always likes to be crazy. I think eventually Hollywood will agree with that statement. And the bizarre, unique thing for an actress to do in Hollywood will be to walk out their bold and beautiful heteronormative cisgender child with no mental health issues. It's like we named him John with a J.

[Michael Knowles]

He's neurotypical.

[Nick Freitas]

He's so brave. And we support him.

[Michael Knowles]

It's true. Everything old is new again at some point. Yeah. Okay. Nick, I am really pleased. I'm really pleased. You are. I don't want to be a sore winner here. And one might wonder if it was rigged. Some of those questions. But I would say my request. I would like to. A fully semi automatic assault weapon that is being produced by every public school in America, handed out to children with their chocolate milk for lunch. The Democrats told me that's the coolest gun to have.

[Nick Freitas]

I promise you, you will have a weapon of war with a grenade launcher, a flamethrower.

[Michael Knowles]

Yeah, yeah, I can't wait thank you. Yeah, Nick, good to see you. You as well. Now, so that you don't miss more magnificent content and insightful takes, you need to go follow Nick Freitas on YouTube and Instagram @nickj. Freitas. Check out this clip.

Here's a little airport fun fact for you. The penalty for having lint in your pockets at an airport security checkpoint is an incredibly thorough and hands on investigation of anything close to your pocket. Yeah, say what you want about the tactics, I will never again casually assume that I don't have lint in my pockets. On the bright side, as soon as I get home, back to the wife, we're gonna play tsa. Oh, and Michael, I was thorough. She looked pretty terroristy to me.
