01:37:18 Share

What is up, guys? It's Andy Frisella, and this is the show for the real. Let's say goodbye to the lies, the fakeness, and delusions of modern society, and welcome...

to motherfucking reality guys today we have andy and dj cruise the motherfucking internet that's what we're gonna do that is what cti stands for it stands for cruise the internet we're gonna put topics on the screen we're gonna speculate on what is true and what's not true and then we're gonna

Probably make fun of these people, and then we're going to talk about how we the people have to solve these problems going on in the world. Other times throughout the week, we have shows within the show, all right? Different formats. We've got Q&AF. We usually lead the week off with that. That is where you submit the questions and we give you the answers. Now, you could submit your questions a few different ways. The first way is... Guys, you can email these questions in to askandy at andyforsella.com. Or...

You go on YouTube in the comment section on the Q&A episodes, ask your questions in there, and we will include some from there as well. Other times, we're going to have real talk. Real talk is just 5 to 20 minutes of me giving you some real talk.

Other times we have what's called 75 hard versus. 75 hard versus is where someone who has completed the 75 hard program comes on the show, talks about how they improved their life, how they were, how they are now, and how they use 75 hard to become the person that you see on the show. If you're unfamiliar with 75 hard, it is the initial phase of the live hard program, which is the...

world's most popular mental transformation program. It is free. You get an episode 208, the entire program, uh, on the audio feed. It's not on YouTube.

We also have a book. You get the book. It's called The Book on Mental Toughness. You can get that book at andyfercella.com. It includes the entire Live Hard program plus a whole bunch of chapters on mental toughness. It is for the person who needs to know all the ins and outs. That's the kind of person I am. Like I said, you get the program for free, but we can't keep the book in stock. People like it. So check that out.

The book on mental toughness at andyfrostella.com. Now, one thing about this show that you're going to notice, we don't run ads on the show. We are the biggest show in the world that doesn't run ads. And the reason we don't run ads is because we talk about real shit on the show, and advertisers usually have a problem with that. So I keep it real with you guys, and I ask you to keep it real with us, okay? And that means...

We are constantly facing censorship, traffic throttling, shadow bans, and I need your help to grow the show. So I'm going to pass on that ad revenue. Keep it real. I'm going to ask you guys to do your part and help us share the show. So if the show makes you think, if it makes you laugh, gives you a new perspective, if it's something you think needs to be heard, don't be a hoe. Share the show. All right. What's up, man? What's good, gang? Nothing.

You looking like Suge Johnson over there. Suge Mourning, maybe. Yeah, Suge Mourning. Guys, we have a special guest with us today, Mr. Nate Boyer. What's happening, bro? How's it going, brother? Good. It's good to see you. You too.

Nate is... He's a good looking dude. I think we gotta start with that, bro. Yeah, you definitely gotta start with that. I mean, I'm just saying. I mean... I've been looking at his pictures all day. I bet you have. I'm like, shit, man. You're gonna make it weird right away, huh? I might as well get right into it, man. He's a good looking dude, man. Yeah, so, dude, what haven't you done, bro? Like, you do so much stuff. Diapers. Yeah, alright, there you go. No kids. Alright, we're in the no kid club. I agree with you on that. Um...

Tell us a little bit about where you started. Let's just start, you know, when you were young and we'll get to where you are now. Yeah. Just kind of give people background. Yeah. So I grew up, I was born in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, right next to Knoxville. Grew up in the San Francisco Bay. My dad is a racehorse veterinarian. My mom actually got her PhD in environmental science at Berkeley. And Golden Gate Field is a racetrack in the Bay. It recently closed down. Really sad deal. But, you know, grew up there.

Huge 49er fan. We were a dynasty. We. I wasn't a Niner. But, you know, Montana Rice, Roger Craig. I've had Montana and Rice here at first form. Have you? Yeah, I got to meet both of them. That's badass. And Fred Warner, too. Oh, sweet. Yeah. I mean, they're back. Yeah, yeah. They just haven't got over the hump. They're going to put it together. Yeah, we'll get there. Yeah. We. I keep saying we. They're like, who's this guy?

But yeah, and so football was my favorite sport growing up. All my heroes were athletes. When I was little, I played soccer, then I played baseball, then I played basketball, and I just never played football. Part of it was just getting hooked on those other ones young, and I think being a little smaller, I was always a late bloomer. It was like, wow, I don't want to get cut, and I don't want to ride the bench, so I just didn't do it.

Get to high school the high school end up graduating from didn't even have a team and I just never played and it Stuck with me that regret for years so fast forward graduate high school moved to San Diego worked on a fishing boat for about a year and then moved up to Los Angeles with an interest in film and TV and stuff like that and then 9/11 happened not right away, but soon after you know join the army and the military Special forces and

I'm in Iraq in 2009, watching the Texas Longhorns make a championship run. Unfortunately, lost to Alabama in the natty, but made the decision to finally go to college and leave active duty. Went into the guard. So I go. The only place I enlisted, the only place I, what do you call it, applied was Texas because

I wanted to go. I thought Texas was going to be a cool place to go as a veteran. Austin was an awesome town. And I just was like, well, that's where I'm going. I'm just going to figure it out. So got in, walked on the football team, joined the Texas National Guard. And so then while I was playing ball every summer, I was going back over to Afghanistan and kind of just living this life.

I don't say double life because it was I was the same guy. But this high octane, you know, uptempo life of like football. Take your finals early. Go to Afghanistan. Come back for training camp. You know, do it over again. And it was awesome. It's a fucking wild. It is awesome, dude. What you guys doing for summer? You know. Yeah. Well, I spent the first summer in Austin and, you know, everybody leaves because it's hot and school's out.

And I worked at a bar for a little bit and I was just like, man, I miss, I just miss the fight. I miss the guys. I miss the mission, you know, all that stuff. So,

when that opportunity came around i was like you know i'm doing this so it was it was a good deal and and you know mac brown and admiral mcraven both were like on board you know to like yeah make this happen because everyone mcraven was the so-called commander at the time and he actually went to texas and so they kind of helped orchestrate the situation so i'd come back in time for football but i was volunteering it's like yeah i didn't have to go over there but yeah i was like i mean i would love to i want to give somebody a break that's an opportunity yeah

That's cool. That's awesome, man. And it's humid in Austin. You know, I just want to get out of the dry heat in Afghanistan. It's not so bad. So, look, first of all, I don't think it's a secret. Everybody here knows that I'm a huge University of Texas Longhorns fan. So you just decide I'm going to go play for the fucking Longhorns.

And then... Well, I'm going to try to play one. But yeah. That's awesome, dude. That's fucking great. Yeah, that's awesome. So did you end up playing past college?

I went to the Seahawks for about five minutes. I don't know if you remember this, but you, oh, that's a, take that picture down. That's the worst picture. What happened to you there? What'd you get? What'd you get stung by some bees there, bro? You're on that DJ diet program. So I wait about, uh, seriously, take that down. Everything DJs that he's taken back. No, he's not. Um, thank you. Uh,

There's better ones you can find if you got a dig. No, so I don't know if you remember this, but I, yeah, so I was a long snapper. I got to Texas. I walked on as a safety. The only reason I made the team is because I went hard as hell on every drill. I was getting run over, but I just bounce up and, you know, let's do it again.

And so they're like, oh, it'll be good to have him in the locker room. My sophomore year, I start long snapping because the starter graduating and I was I pitched in baseball. I had a decent arm, figured out how to long snap and won the job. So did that for three years. And when, you know, when college ended, I played in college at like one ninety one ninety five.

And I got to play in the senior all-star game in Charleston, the medal of honorable, the medal of honor society actually hosted the game, which was really cool. And there was NFL scouts there and they were like, you got to put some weight on, but you can snap it. You should give it a go. And I was 34 at the time, but for that position, that's crazy. A little older, like, you know, you can do it.

And so I did, I put on 30 pounds as that picture shows in like four months and started taking down. And it was terrible, like terrible weight, but necessary weight. I mean, in the NFL, the difference in college, you're a free releaser on punts. So basically you snap it, you don't have to wait till the ball's kicked. You can just go down field as a gunner. In the NFL, only the gunners can do that. So if you're on the line of scrimmage,

and you snap it, I had to shuffle and block. So I'm blocking. My first ever punt snap was against the Broncos, and I look up and see Von Miller across the line. I'm like, this sucks, dude.

Luckily, I didn't have to block him. Who's a fucking specimen. Monster. That would have been blocked. That would have been blocked immediately. But yeah, so I had to block. So I had to put the weight on. But yeah, you sent me a little first form care package back in 2015. And I'm not just saying this. I said this before, before you even came in the room, but it was the best protein I ever had. Oh, that's awesome, man. I was psyched, man. It was cool. But yeah, just getting that opportunity. That's full circle, bro. Played in one game. Yeah.

And got to, just like in college, you know, the equipment manager comes in the locker room before the game. And I'm nervous because it's the NFL, you know what I mean? Yeah. And he comes up to me and he's like, hey, I noticed in college you led the team out of the tunnel with the American flag for every game, you know. Do you want to do that today? Oh, man.

Yes. Are you kidding me? And so I lead the team out of the tunnel and, you know, I get on the sideline. Anthem starts playing. I freaking started balling, you know, thinking about a bunch of stuff. Yeah. It was cool. And then I got cut three days later as it goes, but I'm so grateful. I was so grateful for that opportunity. That's incredible. It was cool. Yeah. That's incredible. 34, man.

34. It shows you, dude. Don't quit. That was a big turning point in my life, too, when I was about 36. Oh, when that at the same time, because you're two years older. Yeah, when I was, it was just, I was fucking 350 pounds, bro, and like

Everything changed. You know, like I was about to post this last night, like my picture now versus my picture when I was 36, just to show people. Like a lot of these dudes that are 36, they're like, oh, I'm old. My life is old. Bro, you haven't even fucking started yet. You know what I'm saying? So I read somewhere a while ago, like,

by 2050 in america if you're a healthy american like a lot of people will be centurions you know a lot of people will make a hundred so if you're 36 you're a third yeah of the way there yeah so yeah come on it's crazy what uh you know just moving a little bit eating eating some good food will do for you exactly make a young man exactly and that and that's something that's interesting about the veteran and athlete community um and you know i got a a charity a

that I co-founded with Jay Glazer called MVP, Merging Vets and Players. And, you know, we bring together combat vets and former pro athletes and help them find purpose and identity when they lose a uniform. But typically you're in your twenties or thirties and that it's over, you know, you get, you get cut or the military, maybe you can still serve in the military, but you won't be, you know, kicking the door down anymore or whatever. And,

and you're so young, but you feel like you've peaked, and you'll never be great again. So that's a really common occurrence in the military. So 36, you're like, "Oh, I'm trash. I'm old, man. I'm done." - Yeah, dude, it's super. I've spoken to a number of groups about that same thing. It's a common passion for me too, is helping people find purpose after they transition out of the military, specifically in entrepreneurship. I've given a number of talks to a number of groups over the years about that topic.

And, you know, to anybody out there, I mean, we're going to get on with the show here in just a second, but I think this is an important message. You know, anybody out there that's, you know, in their late 30s, especially men, and you're like, dude, I don't...

Dude, listen, you got to find a purpose, bro. Like this is why you feel off. Just try shit. Yeah. The reason you feel down, the reason you feel off, the reason you feel depressed has to do with you were a big part of a team and a big part of a purpose and a mission, whether that be athletics or serving or whatever. And you got to find something like that, bro. Like once you find a bigger purpose and a bigger mission again, you're going to feel at home, dude. And that's something that.

You know, I think all of us need reminders of from time to time because dude, as, as human beings in our nature, we're not selfish people. We're actually servants. And, uh, that's what brings us, you know, it gets us out of the dark place. Totally. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. No, I mean, we're, and we're pack animals too. Yeah, for sure. Like a lot of, I see a lot of guys in the vet community, a lot of athletes, like they get done whether it's on their own terms or not. And usually it's not sadly. And they're like, they want to distance themselves from that thing for multiple reasons. Sometimes it's like,

You know that it was hard and it was just like or I feel awkward kind of it's still in that community So they they push away and kind of try to do everything alone And it's like a weird letterman's jacket. They were like they don't want to wear it at all. Yeah. Well, bro Isolation, you know, there's a reason that isolation has been used as the worst form of punishment for thousands of years a good point Yeah, I mean it's not because it's good for you. Yeah

You know, and I know a lot of people these days like to say, including me, that, you know, I like being alone, but I like being alone as long as I'm still around a lot of people. Or for like a time. That's right. There's a time and play every day. I like some alone. That's what I'm saying. And I mean, when I say that, guys, you need to understand I'm around hundreds of people all day long, every single day. And yeah.

you know, when I've struggled with anxiety and dark times in my life, the one thing that always made me forget about it, at least temporarily was being around other good people. So I think finding that purpose and I think that's a noble cause is what I'm trying to get to. I think it's awesome that you're doing that. Hey, I mean, I need it as much as anybody else. It's like the Bosley hair thing, you know, I'm also a client, but, uh, but it's true. Like I need, uh, I need that. I need the

I need that group, I need something to fight for. I need a mission, I need all those things. And vets and athletes uniquely, those careers, they end young. There's a lot of sacrifice involved in being elite. Obviously it's different sacrifice, war, sports, battlefield, ball field, different places, but they look up to each other. There's that mutual respect because you know how hard it is to do what you're doing. - It's full commitment. - Totally. - Yeah, for sure. Now you also got into some acting.

And been able to do some of that. Tell us a little bit, because you were actually in one of my favorite movies. I know which one you're going to say. Which one? Dead of Thieves. Dead of Thieves.

- "Den of Thieves" is a fucking great movie. - It's my favorite movie of all time. - Is it really? - It really is. - You gotta meet Christian, Christian Guti Gass, the director. He's awesome. - "Den of Thieves" is like the new heat. - It is. - Yeah. - Dude, it's such a good movie. - The second one I think is coming out soon. I know they shot it already. Oh yeah, there's "Den of Thieves 2" coming. - That's awesome. - I'm not in it unfortunately. - It's a great movie. - But you've done some, "Act 12 Strong," another great movie.

You've done that, how was that? - "12 Strong." Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. "12 Strong." - Yeah. - I was thinking of the Benghazi movie. - That's when they ride on a horse back. - Oh, "13 Hours." - Yeah, yeah. - That's another number. - "13 Hours," that's another great movie. But tell us a little bit about that, man. How did that, 'cause I mean, you said, I guess coming out of high school, you wanted to kind of get into Hollywood a little bit, and then, so is that like another full circle thing for you as well? - Yeah, like, coming right out of high school, I thought I wanted to be a firefighter, you know, obviously a noble job. I went down, took some firefighting classes, I'm like, I'm not ready for this.

for this, that's a lot of responsibility. So that's why I started working on the boat. And then I don't even, I started going to the movies and just was like,

I think part of it was I didn't like my story and I didn't, you know, every, every teenager person in the early twenties, or maybe not every, but a lot of us, you know, you struggle with identity and who you are and like what feeling like you're good enough or feeling like you're, you know, you've earned this, whatever it is, especially being American. I think it's a, it's a, it's a lucky hand to draw.

And so I just kind of, I don't know. I was like, maybe I should just tell other people's stories instead. So that was initially what that interest was. And then, you know, military, football, all that. But I get done it. You know, I get cut at 34 and finished my master's degree. I did an internship at Film 44, which is Peter Berg's production company. So he did like Lone Survivor, Friday Night Lights, a lot of football, military related stuff. And I'm making coffee, getting lunch, you know, doing all this stuff. And he's just like,

didn't I I know your story and we started talking and so he let me sit in on some some pretty important meetings and learn about all the development cycles I knew I wanted to eventually make movies and then had a few opportunities to do some hosting and and do some acting after that finished and eventually MVP that first one there that's based on the charity that's based on the genesis of merging vets and players so I co-wrote directed produced co-starred

post-production supervisor. I didn't have to pay any of those people to make this movie. So we did that movie and I encourage everybody to see that one above all of them. It's on Paramount Plus, Prime, Apple TV, but it tells a story of how we started. It's a Marine living in a homeless shelter and a former NFL player, first year out of the league.

Black guy, white guy, nothing in common, right? Society tells you. They're going through the same shit. They're the same guy, you know? And it's cool. - That's fucking awesome. - You ever read the book "Brian's Song"? - I've seen the movie. - Yeah. - I've never read the book. - You ever read it? It's an awesome book, bro. It's about Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers. - Okay. - You know who Gale Sayers is? One of the best running backs ever in NFL. - Okay. - And he's a black guy. Piccolo's a white guy. And Piccolo ends up getting cancer.

And it's a fucking great story. - Because Piccolo was, was he a running back as well? - I think so. - Were they kind of competing for that? - Yeah, they didn't like each other at first. - Right, yeah, that's cool. - Yeah, and they became like super best friends. It's a great book. I'm not seeing the movie, but the book is amazing. - The movie's James Caan and Sayers plays himself. - Oh really? - Yeah. - Oh, that's cool. - You should check it out. - Yeah, I will. Dude, one thing before we get started, I think that's worth noting.

is first of all your story's incredible dude you should never feel like it's not enough that's an incredible i know because when you have a story like a per you don't think it's like right because people are always you know yourself yeah i'm just a regular dude bro idiot people say yeah people you have no idea how dumb i am yeah and but dude i try to tell people that right because i get a lot of stuff about my story as well

I'm like dude all you got to do is just be a not afraid to do new shit and and that's That's you right now like you know you're talking about special forces playing football and doing the fishing boat You know the movies the acting dude. That's incredible shit now. You're doing a documentary on D-Day Yeah, yeah talk about that for a minute. Yeah, so um

But that all comes from not being afraid and just say, "Hey, if they do it, I could do it." - Well, I'll say this real quick, because when you say that, it makes me think of, like my dad told me after I made it at Texas, he was like, "If you would've played growing up, if you'd played high school ball, I don't think you ever would've tried this, 'cause you would've known too much how hard this is." But the fact that, I value a little naivety. You know what I mean? Not that I think you should be stupid or just let yourself not be educated, but

We psych ourselves out. We look too much into it. We read too much on it. We're like, we over prepare in some ways and it psychs us out. And then we just don't even try. And those, you know, limitations, the number one limitation out there are ones you put on yourself. Like that's, that's it. Like people just don't,

they don't go for it they don't put the time in they don't just try and then they regret that it's just like just go it's one of the problems i think we have with the overabundance of information that we have access to now is that people have gotten so comfortable like you said just analyzing and analyzing and analyzing and analyzing and never going yeah and the truth of the matter is is that no matter what it is whether it's sports business a new career a new hobby

You're not going to know shit until you go do it, bro. Exactly. Like you aren't going to know anything. Like you can watch as many YouTube videos about business or read a PhD. Yeah. And you do it. Dude, listen, that was a big problem I had with college. I was going into these business classes and I was listening to these guys with PhDs, but no business.

And then I go out in the parking lot and I see him drive off in a fucking shit box. And I'm like, what the fuck does this guy know about business? You know what I mean? Yeah. And, dude, you guys got to understand, man. When you hear stories like Nate and what he's done...

dude you have that too like you have the ability to go be who it is not talented dude i just don't care yeah exactly i don't want to die with regret you don't yeah and you don't care about fucking looking stupid in the beginning exactly yeah exactly no that's that's a superpower thing yeah that's the biggest superpower yeah just yeah but it's true i mean everybody is so worried about what everyone else is gonna say or think i you know i get some shit bag today yesterday uh

just texting me hate, you know? And I served with the guy, you know, he's an SF guy and he's not a bad, he's got a good heart. He's just not in a good place. And it's like, bro, this is what people, this is what will deter people from trying because they're worried about this. And it's like, I don't, we're both going to die and it's going to fucking, that's it. So who cares? But anyway, D-Day, Doc, yeah. So when I was playing at Texas,

The practice fields are named Frank Denius Fields. Frank Denius was four-time Silver Star recipient in like a six or seventh month period from D-Day to Battle of the Bulge. And I know your grandfather was around in similar circles. Mm-hmm.

So Frank, the practice fields are named after him, but when I was playing, he was in his late 80s, early 90s, and he was at every single practice on the sideline. That's badass. He's standing there watching. He just loved football. And you go up to him and talk to him, and of course, the most humble person on the planet. You have to dig and dig to get anything out of him.

And then he passed away in 2019. And I had gone out to the Iwo Jima reunion in DC, recorded some of these guys' stories and was going to do something with History Channel, like a podcast series. COVID killed that, right? And so that was like, that bothered me, right? And then Frank died, never got to really like get his story out there. And he wrote a book and there's stuff, you know, but-

Getting these guys straight to camera, just telling their story, however they want to tell it one last time was important to me. And then when the 80th anniversary of D-Day rolled around in June, I was like, I'm just going to go. And if I'm getting it on my cell phone, great. But if I'm lucky enough to cobble together a few bucks, I'll bring out a crew. And we raised a little bit of money. A lot of it I just paid for myself. And we went out there and shot it.

And then we came back and got a little more money and now we've been going around the country. And these guys are 98 to 105. Some of them have never really told their story. You know what I mean? We found this guy, there was one magazine article out there. This guy lives in Santa Barbara, Mexican-American dude, Sal also, Sal Perez.

Born in Tennessee. That's me. Born in Arizona. When he was a kid, they moved to Mexico. Mom was not a good person. Dad was gone. So 12 years old, he's homeless, you know, and he's working on the trains, shining shoes. Comes up to the States because he was born here. So he was able to come to America and started picking fruit and working in the fields. Finds out 1939, he's 19 years old. He finds out he can join the army. It's 21 bucks a month. He's like, that's a lot of money. I would love to do that. Joins.

pearl harbor happens uh a year later they're looking for volunteers to go jump out of airplanes and no one wants to do that because we just started flying you know 20 years ago but they're like 50 bucks a month if you jump if you're willing to jump out of an airplane imagine how crazy that sounded back then it's insane like we got this little box that's gonna go up there it's cool it's great yeah it's still crazy but like think about it then dude no so he does he he volunteers

he goes to airborne school and then he jumps in with the 101st you know he's one of the band of brothers on d-day and it's like he's never nobody knows about this guy he's 105. yeah still lives in the same house he built in santa barbara with his bare hands you know speaks mostly spanish like it's just like wild but we were able to find this cat and uh those kind of stories yeah that's cool dude i was watching your sizzle on that on the dock and uh the one guy goes he goes

Somebody what I think you asked him you go were you scared he goes hell. Yeah, I was scared because I was 17 years old jumping out of an airplane in the dark But not what someone was shooting at me So when's that being released

We got to finish it. So we're still, we got to fundraise a little bit more. We're almost done shooting. And then we're, you know, we're stringing it out, going into post. I want to, I really want to get this out super fast because I want these guys to see it before they die. I mean, there's just not many of them left. And one of the guys we were with in Normandy past, you know, these, I mean, at any day could be their last. So I really want to push to get this thing out. But yeah,

I would love to at least premiere it by May or June. So June 6th is D-Day anniversary. So that'd be the next one. May 8th is the 80th anniversary of the liberation of France. And then end of May, the last Monday of May is Memorial Day. So that timeframe makes the most sense. So May is the goal. That's awesome. We'll figure it out. If you're interested, hit me up if you want to help out, if you're listening. Where can they hit you up? They can hit me up on socials, Twitter.

I'm not going to get my email address. No, no, no. Give them your social so they know. At NateBoyer37, pretty much across the board. Cool. Yeah. Slide into those DMs. Yeah. There you go. Dude, well, look, man. Let's get to talking shit. Let's do it. Yeah. Let's do it. I love that, bro. Keep doing the good work, man. Thank you. It's badass. It's what makes me happy. Just trying. Yeah. That's it. For sure.

Well, sweet guys, it is CTI. So let's do some cruising. Remember, if you want to see any of these pictures, articles, links, videos, go to andyfrasella.com. You guys can find them linked there. Let's just jump right into our headlines. We got headline number one. Obviously, got a little update on the hurricane situation down in Florida. So let's dive into this a little bit. Hurricane Milton's devastating aftermath on Florida's coastal cities. Some photos.

So Hurricane Milton, a powerful Category 3 storm impacted the western coast of Florida with Tampa and nearby coastal towns facing severe winds, flooding and power outages. Western towns such as St. Petersburg and Sarasota were hit particularly hard with significant storm surge and damage reported across the region.

Hurricane Milton made landfall on the evening of October 9th, 2024. Now, I got some pictures here of some of the aftermath. This is Florida. This is in Florida. This is a picture here. If you're on audio of a woman standing in what is left of a kitchen, no roof. That's crazy how the roof is missing and all her stuff is still on the shelves. Yeah. Yeah, that is wild. Well, I mean, does she...

Maybe she aggregated that after. I don't know. You see the stadium? Yeah. The roof. Tropicana. Tropicana Field. It's gone. Um...

It's some wild stuff. Now, Florida is still Florida. All right. Florida gonna Florida. Florida is gonna fucking Florida. And there's plenty, there's no shortage of Florida man and Florida men running around Florida. I thought this was interesting. There's this guy down in Tampa that they have dubbed Lieutenant Dan. Yeah, yeah. Have you guys seen that? Yeah. All right. It's pretty cool. All right. Tampa's Lieutenant Dan emerges unscathed

After braving Milton's fury on his sailboat, despite mayor insisting he went to shelter. So the one legged sailboat dwelling Florida man affectionately nicknamed Lieutenant Dan is OK. After riding out Hurricane Milton's wrath in Tampa Bay, despite the mayor insisting he went to shelter ahead of the powerful storm.

The sailor who went viral for refusing to abandon ship never left his boat in which he lives as Milton swelled to a Category 5 hurricane before making landfall south of Tampa as a Category 3 storm with 120 mph winds. So here's the original video clip that was caught of Lieutenant Dan talking about the storm coming in. Let's check this out. Alright Dan, the people that are new, explain to them why...

Why you're deciding to stick out a category 5 one of the worst hurricanes in Tampa history out on a 20-foot sailboat in Tampa And every minute even telling me over the last few days I'm doing the right thing you got my back and

I'm in good shape. I ain't sweating it. We're going to ride this one out. We got set up the way we know what we're doing. And as long as the water just keeps rising, we'll be fine. Will you be wearing a life jacket? Hell no. Are you going to be able to swim if need be? In circles. You can swim with one leg or what? Yeah, I can float like a damn champ. But swimming, I just go in circles. So the plan is just to stick it out here? Yeah. I mean...

The water's gonna come in, it's gonna rise. If you're on land, it's gonna flood, you're risking drowning. I'm in a boat. The boat goes up with the water. So even if the boat goes up 100 feet in the air, I'm gonna be up 100 feet in the air with the water. So it's really, the safest place in the world to be is on my boat. And I got room for one more female.

How many has he got? One more. Yeah, right, right. That is Noah. If Noah and A.J. McCarron had a baby. Remember A.J. McCarron's tats? That motherfucker is Florida Man. That is the epitome of Florida Man.

And he didn't leave his boat. He stayed. And the Tampa mayor, Jane Castor, claimed that Tampa police, quote, just saved Lieutenant Dan during a press conference on Wednesday afternoon. Quote, he has been rescued and he is now in a shelter as well. If we can get Lieutenant Dan to go to a shelter, we can get anybody to do that, she told reporters. There's pictures of him being pulled from the boat in the aftermath. I'm coming out of it completely alive and fine. There was some other Florida activities going on during the hurricane as well.

One man went back to his house to find a unsuspecting guest there. Oh, nice. Florida man finds alligator in his house during hurricane. Video is terrifying.

So a man in Florida got the surprise of a lifetime after Hurricane Helene. The state of Florida got rocked starting Wednesday night by Hurricane Milton, and the destruction is absolutely devastating. Houses are destroyed, roads are wrecked, boats are thrown all over the place. There's immense water damage, and the road to recovery will likely be a long one.

The state is also fresh off dealing with Hurricane Helene. And it turns out some animals needed to seek refuge as well during the disaster. So imagine going back to your house after that and checking this out. Oh, my goodness. Holy shit. Mouth agape.

That's a big fucking gator. Dude, that is a big gator. That's probably at least 12 feet. I mean, he looks like he just ate a person. Look how fat his belly is. Probably ate the dog. I mean, that's good. Now listen, obviously the destruction is terrible. There's a lot of things wrong and fucked up, obviously, but I thought that was just interesting to see that Florida is still going to be Florida. You know what I think is cool about Florida, bro?

And people like to tease Florida a little bit, but the truth is... Rightfully so. The truth is we all admire them. That's the truth. No, we do. You know why? Because they always have each other's backs, bro. They always take care of each other. They don't take it too serious. They all realize, hey, man, we live here. This is part of the deal. They make little jokes about it. They keep it lighthearted. Even when people are in the hardest of hard times...

They don't freak out. They handle their business. And dude, it's admirable. It's really, honestly, it's what America is supposed to be. And I think what's cool is over the last two weeks, even though it's been tremendously...

destruction in many different areas of the country, I think we've seen the American spirit really start to come to the surface where people are, you know, looking out for each other. And that's the real America, dude. That's like, that's what this country is. And we see so much destruction

negativity and so much divisive shit through the media and social media too. And even we're guilty of it sometimes where we get so demoralized. It's just like, man, fuck everybody. But the truth of the matter is, you know, when the rubber hits the road, this is the greatest place in the world because people take care of each other. It's really amazing to see. And I haven't felt the feeling that I feel right now about people coming together in a very long time.

Unfortunately, it takes this kind of shit. Right. Because you remember how it was after 9-11. I was just going to say 9-12 is one of the reasons I joined the military. Like how much we came together. 9-11 is horrible, obviously. You know what I mean?

But the way that we came together, put aside our differences, like everybody just kind of said, this is what needs to happen right now, you know, for people affected, for those not affected. People are scared. But instead of, you know, by and large, people just worried about themselves. It's like, let's figure this out as a community. Let's be there for one another. I remember living in Hollywood.

And there were parades down the street. People dressed up like Uncle Sam. I was like, damn, this is cool. And your tax dollars right there on the spot. Yeah. No, but it was, I mean, but for real, it was just like, damn, they're having a, you know, there's people parading after this happens. And it was just like, it was a big middle finger to those that did that. But also just like, we're not,

backing down like you didn't just beat us you know what i mean like you brought us together thank you yeah you know yeah and i also i also think it's cool too that like people are starting to remember what that flag means you know because for the last number of years people have been hesitant to fly that flag i think because they felt like it represents our government just so we're clear

That flag is our flag. That is the people's flag. That is not the flag of tyrants. That is the flag of unified citizens. All right. So when you fly that flag, remember that we are not supporting the government. We are supporting our brothers and sisters, our neighbors, our family, our friends, the people who have come before us and the people who are going to come after us to make this country great. And that's a very important thing to remember when you fly that flag. We're not supporting tyrants.

We're the antithesis of tyranny. And that's why it's important to be proud of that flag and fly that motherfucker every time you get a chance. It represents everybody. That's right. People you disagree with. That's right. On every level. That's right. It still represents them. And like when we took the oath in the military, you know, it's to defend the Constitution and it's to defend what that flag is supposed to represent. Period. You know, people are like, oh, you know, why did you do what you do? And I'm like, well,

I fought for you too. Right. And whether you, you know, you, you, you'd burn that flag in front of me and I still fought for you. Yeah. I fought for your right to do that. I don't like that. Yeah. But like that is, that's, that's, that is freedom. And like, this is what that flag represents. Like no other place to me. Yeah. I agree. It's a special thing, man. I remember like in football, I always thought of this being down on the field. What's so cool about sports is,

was it was just a great representation of America because you look up in the stands, super diverse people from all over the map.

You could spill a beer on the guy next to you in the first quarter and y'all are hugging in the fourth quarter and you might never have a conversation outside of this place. You might have nothing in common, but you're pulling for one thing together. Yeah. And like that was very American to me. Yeah. I think that, you know, that kind of stuff is just lost these days, you know, and understanding that we're in this together and we should disagree on some shit. That's how we find the best answer. Yeah. We need to like

figure it out together and not just like ride each other off. And I also think it's important to remember, dude, that being a patriot does not mean they've twisted it. They, they,

I agree, man. Yeah, they've twisted it into this thing where it means you're supporting our actions overseas. I don't support the actions of us in all these unnecessary wars, but what I do support as a patriot of this country is what this country could be. Not what it is. I am a dreamer and an idealist

Probably only in this way of what this country should be and that to me that means something You know when I when I fly that flag and when I say I'm proud of that flag I'm proud and I'm dedicated to building and doing my part into what this could be not what it is now and I think we need to all take that attitude because dude we don't have to accept what they dictate to us the people have the power and

Not them. And so when we all get together and we are unified, similar to what's happening in North Carolina and Florida and all those areas right now, there's nobody that can stop that. They can't stop that. And that's why they work so hard to get us fighting and get us divided and get us at...

contention along every single line, you know, they want us that they're fucked. Yeah, they if the minute we fucking come together, bro, they are they're done. Well, they you know, I love to push this this narrative that

you know, conservative values are patriotic and liberal values are open-minded or whatever. And that you, you know, you're either one or the other. It's like, you can be open-minded, you should be open-minded and listen, at least listen and respect everybody else and patriotic at the same time. Because just like you said, like what, what it is to me is like, we're never going to get there. There's no, there's, there is no utopia, but the pursuit of it, that's why it's the pursuit of happiness. And it's the pursuit of, you know, uh, uh, uh,

of being the best, being the greatest country in the world and being the most unified and the strongest and the safest and all these things. We'll never be perfect. - We'll never actualize our full potential. - Totally. - But we should make a commitment as men especially and women

to lead our country into a better place than where it is now. I feel and I know you feel this too or you wouldn't be doing the work that you do but I feel a tremendous amount of responsibility as a 40-something year old man to to do my part in that you know um

And I think if we can all get together on that page, man, I think we're going to get this country back on track. Yeah, 100%, man. Another point, too, on this Florida thing that you mentioned, that is unique about Florida, they also don't let nobody fuck with them.

They might let some jokes pass, but they definitely defend their own for sure. DeSantis, the governor, did just that. I'm not sure if you guys saw this. He was questioned about, because there's been some ongoing debate, I guess, whether Kamala Harris and stepping in to help and doing all of this. And he finally shut it all down for once and all in a statement while he was being interviewed. Let's check his response out.

Hey, Governor, could you just help clear something else up that happened earlier this week? And we were actually debating it at this table. So I got to ask. There was some praise that came your way from President Biden and said that they had spoken. You had spoken. Then there was this brouhaha over Vice President Harris apparently reaching out to you or and maybe not taking the call and this whole thing.

accusations that this had all become politicized. Can you just speak to what happened there?

I am working with the President of the United States. I'm working with the Director of FEMA. I'm marshaling all my state assets. We've been doing this now nonstop for over two weeks between Helene and this. And so if there's anything I can leverage to benefit my people, I'm going to do it. The fact of the matter is they put out a story saying I didn't take – I didn't even know she was trying to reach me. But she has no role in this process.

And I've been dealing with these storms in Florida under both Trump and Biden. Neither of them ever politicized it. And in fact, all the storms I've dealt with under this administration, although I've worked well with the president, she has never called in Florida. She has never offered any support. So what she's doing is she's trying to inject herself into this because of her political campaign. So as the governor here who's leading this, I don't have time for those games.

I don't care about her campaign. Obviously, I'm not a supporter of hers. But she has no role in this process. And so I'm working with the people I need to be working with. We're leveraging the resources I need to be leveraging. And for her to try to say that my focus should be on catering to her rather than worrying about my own people just shows she doesn't understand what it means to respond to these natural disasters.

So, yeah, he shut that down. I thought that was pretty cool. Well, you know what I love about DeSantis? Unfortunately, he doesn't really do well with speeches and, you know, being in front of debates and things like that, I don't think. I don't think that's a strong suit. But, man, he's a great operator. He's a great operator. 100%. And so far, like I said, I mean, the damage is... And basically what he's saying there, if we're going to translate, is fuck Kamala Harris. Yeah, for sure. In a very political way. Yeah. Yeah, for sure.

Um, now, I mean, again, like, you know, this was supposed to be a really, really bad storm and it definitely caused some damage. Um, as of right now, time of the recording, there's at least five people that have been confirmed dead, uh, from the storm. Um, got over 3 million people without power right now. Uh,

Here's the interesting thing. I know we covered yesterday in CTI, you know, some storm manipulation, weather manipulation shit. It is so interesting how there's more coming. Apparently, there's another massive tropical storm that is supposed to be approaching Florida here shortly. We also got talks now. This is all over the headlines. These severe solar storms.

That are coming out now. We had a big one back in May of this year that took down a lot of our cellular functions for a lot of a decent period of time people were freaked out a little bit over that apparently we got more coming in I'm expected to come in throughout today and tomorrow And apparently there's already some effects going in got some different carriers are down spectrums Wi-Fi and Internet's down Verizon's down

It's just a lot of weird, interesting things happening. I think the perfect opportunity in time. And they're also doing a massive recall as well on 10 million pounds of meat. So, I mean, I don't know if this is scrambling. I don't know how much of it is intentional. But what we do know for sure that we've covered on the show is that these people have no problem taking these opportunities as they come and using them to their benefit. So, what else you guys got on this? Well, I don't... I mean, like...

First of all, these networks, man, they're going to politicize anything they can because that's just what they do, you know, and that's what they talk about. And that's so it's that's frustrating when people are hurting and people are, you know, and they're

they have an opportunity they get him on there and then that's the question they really want to ask they don't want to you know talk about what do you need what's you know what's the situation on the ground or whatever it's like can you respond to this you know which is just trying to get him probably trying to just of course yeah the dude was nervous asking a question because i feel like he knew the sense he didn't ask you very well he was like well so yeah yeah well i also think these people understand that people are done with their

Because every single time one of these stupid interviews comes out, it gets posted and those people get blasted. So, you know, look, man, it's what DeSantis said is true. She's trying to pretend like she's the president already and she's got her big swinging fucking dick or whatever, right? And she's going to run in and we're going to handle shit. Bro, she doesn't give a fuck. Look what she just did in what they just did in...

And then also, I'd like to point out, it's interesting how she continues to talk about all these changes she's going to make on day one. But yet, when she was asked on The View, and she was asked, I think it was not Jimmy Kimmel, the other guy, but...

Colbert yeah, we should drink the beer. Yeah, she was on Colbert and she was on the view and she said they asked both of master What would you change differently if you I can't think of anything? All right So which one is it lady? You can't think of anything to change or you're gonna change all this shit on day one Which one is it because those two things don't go together and it shows you how Deceptive these people are being because all they're doing is giving you lip service and I'd like to warn you to make you understand that

That Kamala Harris is a fucking communist. Okay. And you guys say, well, she doesn't talk about it. No shit. They never do. They work their way in through subversion and lies. And then when they get in power, they, they change everything. And so when you guys see her changing all these politics from, um,

you know, what she supposedly believes to what she now is saying to potentially get her elected. You know, I've adjusted with the times. No, that's inaccurate. They have no problem lying because she knows exactly what she's going to do when she gets some power, which is communist shit. All right. So you guys need to everything that comes out of their mouth. You have to understand we're dealing with people who are willing to say and do anything to

to grasp and hold on to power over you. And when we look at the cyber solar flares, those are sorrow solar flares, okay? It's no coincidence that now we have all this shit and chaos. And by the way,

I think somebody's been telling you that was going to happen and it's going to get way worse. There's going to be way more shit. If they have to, they'll shut the power grid down. They're going to do anything they can to make sure that they maintain power because dude, you have to ask yourself if you were on the line and your ass was facing accountability for things that you've done. All right. What would you be willing to do to make sure that that doesn't happen to you? And the answer for every single human is anything required.

All right. And that's what we're dealing with. We're dealing with dangerous people who are backed into a corner, who are willing to do anything they possibly can to make sure that they maintain control because they've gone too far down the path to come back. So that's how I see the situation. You guys are free to disagree, but.

You know, we just got it. We got to start over, man. Yeah. We got to burn these two parties down. I'm sorry. Yeah. There's just too much special interest. It's too much money. The amount of campaign financing lobbyists, special interest. It is. It's all theft, bro. Exactly. It's that it's like, I think democracy is incredible. And we fought for that in the middle East didn't work. It's tough, you know, because I, I mean,

That's what it's all about. It should be about the people. This has nothing to do with the people though. It's just people in power, like you said. And it's government and it's people that have been in politics their whole lives and just

super entrenched, ingrained. - And then they're willing to make everybody else's life harder to leverage power for themselves, bro. We deserve better than that. We the people deserve much better than that. - Can you imagine like this? I mean, 'cause they didn't do this, this is not that long ago, 9/11, Hurricane Harvey, like these were not the things they were asking President Bush, for instance. It was just like, what do we need to, what's going on here? How do we fix this problem? How do we come together? How do we blah, blah, blah, like we're trying to do.

But then when it gets in with the rise of cable news, and of course they've got their teams, everybody's on a team, and it's just like, it's sick, man. I don't know what the answer is, but I think total destruction of the parties. I don't know how to do that, but... I think grown men that have the right selfless values...

in in in terms of being a patriot of america have to step up and do their their civic duty to serve uh within our system that exists and then work to make the changes that we need from the inside because

And I think we're good. I think we're I think we're moving that way. Like Senator Eric Schmidt from Missouri, Attorney General Andrew Bailey. These guys, these guys are buddies of mine from Missouri. Josh Howley, not a friend of mine. I don't know him, but I mean, these guys are these guys are patriots, dude. They're not taking money. They're they're they're doing good work. And I think we're getting more and more of that.

But dude, it's going to take a massive downsizing of the government, a massive reduction in actual tax revenue, a massive realignment of where that money is spent. And the work that it's going to take to make it right

is a lot and it makes you think like, dude, I don't know if we can do it without totally starting over, right? It seriously feels like that. Yeah, I know. It just does. It just feels too, it's like too far gone. Yeah, but you got Vivek in there who's going to be a part of Trump's cabinet if Trump wins who's saying, hey, we need to reduce the government by 90, 80, 90%, bring taxes. I mean, we had him on the show, bring taxes down to 10%. I mean, that's the kind of reform we need. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.

Guys, jump in on this conversation. Let us know what you guys think down in the comments. With that being said, let's cruise some comments. This first one comes from at MacMow87.

But, no, guys, we appreciate you for being real-ass fans. Keep liking. Keep commenting. Keep subscribing. Make sure you guys hit that bell notification to stay up to date with the latest headlines and episodes from LAF. With that being said, let's get into our second headline, man. Little Andy Thomas action. Little Andy Thomas action. Got to talk about it. This is – I'm not going to say it's crazy. It's not. I knew it. You knew it.

We knew it. Do you guys know this? Let's dive into this. FBI arrests Afghan man who officials say planned election day attack in the United States. Now, we talked about this. Yesterday. Just yesterday. Not even 24 hours ago, we talked about this.

And, you know, this was about the story of this Afghan man who the FBI arrested. Did you see this, Nate? I did. Okay. So who officials say was inspired by the Islamic State Militant Organization. What an inspirational organization. So inspiring. So inspiring. So inspiring. And that this man was- I cried. I cried.

And that this man was plotting an election day attack targeting large crowds in the United States, the Justice Department said Tuesday. Nasir Ahmad Tahiti, 27, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, told investigators after his arrest Monday that he had planned his attack to coincide with election day next month and that he and a juvenile co-conspirator expected to die as martyrs, according to charging documents.

Now, we talked about yesterday how this man entered the country back in 2021 on September 9th to be exact. So like three weeks after the Kabul, what am I trying to say? The Abbey Gate attack. We lost 13 Marines and 170 Afghans. Right. He entered and he entered not under normal circumstances, right?

He was one of 50 people that year to receive a special visa from the State Department to come into this country. Now, in his plans, you know, he tried, he liquidated his family's house to afford some of these tools and things that he was going to need for this attack. He bought all of his family members one-way tickets to Afghanistan.

Now, the FBI said in a statement yesterday, they said, terrorism, quote, terrorism is still the FBI's number one priority and we will use every resource to protect the American people. That came from FBI Director Christopher Wray. Now...

Here's the Andy Thomas part. Okay. Because stuff always happens. Stuff always comes out. And we, we have covered so many of these type of stories on this show. And we know what the common denominators are, right? We talk about them, whether it was our own three letter agencies, knowing of these people ahead of time and not doing anything during those, that, that time period. Now, this one was a curve ball because not only did our people know about this guy, but

He fucking worked for him. This guy worked for the CIA. Didn't I say that or something like that yesterday? Something to that effect. He worked for him.

Let's dive into this. So that same Afghan migrant, Nasir Tawidi, who was accused of planning to launch this ISIS-inspired election day terrorist attack, used to work for the CIA. Used to. Yeah, right. Used to. Used to. There's no such thing as used to work for the CIA. Used to. Once you're in, you're fucking in, bro. Yeah.

And of course, the CIA did not immediately respond for a comment. But yeah, apparently he was a security guard for the CIA. Yeah, I guess security guard gets a special 50 person visa and a first class ride in the United States. But this is wild, man. It's wild. So again, he entered the United States on September 9th, 2021. All right. Yeah.

Now, in a statement from Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, he said,

He made this statement about this guy, and he said, quote, following the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, more than 77,000 Afghans were given humanitarian parole with little to no vetting and no intent to know the whereabouts. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson wrote earlier this week when the arrest was announced, quote, Nasir Ahmad Tahir, the terrorist plotting an election day attack, was one of them.

So we have 77,000 other ones. Well, he wasn't just one of the 77,000. He was one of the 50 that got a special visa to come here.

What does that say to you? Let's connect the dots here. You got him working for the CIA over there. He gets a special visa here. We got all these school shooters, every single one of them, okay, on the FBI's radar. The potential Trump assassin, the first one, on the FBI's radar. And now it comes out this dude worked for the CIA. Do you guys get it yet? Do you fucking get it? Okay.

These people do not have our interests in mind. They intentionally create chaos. They intentionally create division. They will fucking kill you to create problems in this country. They don't give a fuck. And the people who say, oh, you mean they knew about these school shooters and they just let them do it? And you think that they really just let them kill kids? Yes.

That is what they do. And until we come to the realization that that is what is happening and that and I'm not saying the entire FBI or the entire CIA or any. I'm saying there are elements in the leadership that know what's going on and allow these things to happen for political reasons, period. It's the truth, you know, but you go to the CIA's website and this is what they have. Nice big bold letters on the front of their screen.

We are the nation's first line of defense. And I just, I don't buy that, man. I don't. I don't either. I don't at this point. Now, Nate, I would love your perspective on it. That's complicated. I know we have a bunch of, I mean, we have a bunch of friends that, you know, special forces, veterans, people that have served, people that worked in the CIA. Bro, listen, we got people. I got friends over there right now. Real talk. We got people in these agencies that fucking tell us this shit straight up. Straight up. Okay. They say, hey, there's civil war happening inside these agencies. Every single home office. There are patriots and then there are corrupt people. Right.

And the Patriots are trying to fight the corrupt people inside these agencies. And, dude, y'all better just start blowing the whistle. That's what I got to say. You want to be a Patriot for real? Come tell the truth and have some balls and do it in public. Yeah, but to that point, Nate, because I feel like for a lot of veterans...

who served, spent time in Afghanistan. I think the Afghanistan withdrawal was a major eye-opening revelation for a lot of veterans because for many of them who joined post-9-11, the reasons why they believed they were going to fight, I think at this point,

you know, a lot of them have come to terms that were like, fuck man, we were lied to. We didn't go over there. Those were not the correct intentions of why we were going over there. They lied to us about why we were over there. I think a lot of people have come to that. Did you, well, what's your take on all of that, man? It's definitely, it's definitely nuanced. I mean, look, first of all, for, for anybody that did, um, you did everything you could, you went for the right reasons. Yes. You know, I don't, maybe not everybody, but most people, um,

And we need you. And we need you now more than ever to be willing to do that, those kind of people. So I'm not saying I'll be the first to tell you that we still need the right young men and women to step up, take the oath, and defend this country because there is hope for it. I do think we're going to flip this thing around and get it figured out, right? That being said, there is a lot...

the CIA, the military, all these things, they are part of the government where there is special interests and there are these other things at play and there always have been. And it's getting, I don't think it's growing, you know, maybe getting worse and worse. So like that, that sucks. And that's scary because at the end of the day, like when you're over there, we fought alongside the special forces. We fought alongside Iraqis and Afghans who are good fucking people and care about their country and wanted to be better and wanted freedom and wanted rights for women and all of these things, right? They wanted to be,

Like this idea of America, which is imperfect, as we talked about, but still they wanted that. And that's what a lot of us signed up to do to help defend and preserve and hopefully create in these places. But there is a lot of other hands in this pot. You know what I mean? And it's not fully up to us. And I will say this about the the the Afghan thing that's really frustrating to me is that

There are a lot of Afghans who fought for Afghanistan, joined units like the Tejas, who, you know, a special operations unit over there that we stood up and we were trying to develop and form. And they're warriors and they're badasses and they can't even get over here. You know what I mean? It's really hard for a lot of them to get over here. And then there's other people that didn't do that. And I don't know how that works or where that comes from or, you know,

It's just frustrating. Yeah. When it's like they fought alongside us for years, a lot of a lot of interpreters, too. And that's the story we hear more. But there's a lot of soldiers, fighters, you know what I mean, that we made promises to as well that that has not got left behind. Yeah. The promise wasn't honored. And that sucks. It's terrible. And when that thing and when this thing, you know, the way that we, you know, it happened in Iraq, too. And that was the that sort of the rise of ISIS. You know, when we left, it's like.

In my opinion, there's a shit ton of American special operations soldiers, not just soldiers, soldiers is army. But you know what I'm saying? Special operation fighters, warriors that are that would love the opportunity to still be in the fight over there. So if we just would have left even a few hundred of these guys, you know what I mean? To still work with the Iraqis and the Afghans and try to continue to build something. It's not it's generational. It's not going to happen quick.

I think that that would have been the move personally. And I do, I'm not a big isolationist personally. I do think at some level, like we should be involved. We're the most charitable country in the world. Like we're the most diverse country in the world. We are, you know, all of these things. And we have people that are willing to stand up and go fight and die for another country and other people in that country. It's not just defending America. And that's huge. So anyway, I,

It's just sad. It's just sad more than anything that this, you know, that this stuff happens and that, you know, a lot of times the wrong people are allowed in and the right people, in my opinion, don't have that opportunity and would die for that for one day here. You know? Yeah. I don't think that's an accident, bro. No, I don't think it is. And I, I agree with almost everything you said. Yeah.

You know, I'm glad you pointed out like this is what I say. Those things that is not I'm not talking about our soldiers. I'm not talking about the good people in the FBI. I'm not talking about the good police officers or the good CIA. I talked to those guys like those guys are like, bro, we don't know what to do. The best thing you guys can do is tell the truth.

Real talk. Okay. And I know it's scary and I know it's hard and I know it's your career on the line, but at this point in time, I think our country's on the line too. You know, but in our, the one point that I do disagree with is,

is I think there should be a 20-year stay on us sending any money or any people anywhere until we have our country in order. And it's hard for me, especially being from St. Louis, where there's a tremendous amount of hardship and poverty with American citizens. We're the murder capital of the United States. Crime is everywhere. People are suffering here. It's hard for me

And you have a different perspective because you've been there, right? But it's hard for me. And you see them as you're humanitarian. Like you see them as human and everything. It's just hard for me to get behind us sending anything anywhere when I can drive down the street and see the shit that I see here. I mean, I agree. I agree with that. We need absolutely more focus here. Yeah. However, when I think of World War II and I think of like where we're headed right now, like,

You know, my argument would be if we if we stay just here, bad things can happen. Bad things can happen. I think they will. You know what I mean? So it's like it's a tough one. Like if Pearl Harbor hadn't happened, I don't know when we would have stepped in and maybe it had been too late. It's a real discussion. It's crazy. Yeah, for sure. And like you said, it's nuanced. It's super nuanced and it's tough. And, you know.

We're in crazy debt. We've got a lot of people here that are homeless, that are sick, that are poor, that can't afford groceries. Yeah. And they're taxing us to death, bro. Like, you know, you have Kamala Harris and Biden saying the rich got to pay their share, bro. They ain't talking about like me, rich. Or they're talking about like me, rich. They're not talking about the dudes who are worth $100 billion that headquarter their shit in Ireland so they can escape the United States tax code. Okay. Yeah.

The reason that the middle class is taxed so heavy is because the richest people in the world pay almost nothing.

But that's not your local entrepreneur. That's these guys you see on TV. Okay. And a lot of them that you see on the Forbes list and all those guys know how to get around that shit. That's why they're on that list. And if we're going to have a real tax system, you know, we could lower the tax rate for everybody else if everybody paid, right? If everybody paid 10%, fucking everybody. If you make, if you work at cooking French fries, you pay 10%. If you own

nvidia you pay 10 if everybody pays 10 we're going to have more money than we have now and not only that if we then work on where we spend it we we could have the most beautiful successful prosperous country in the world if we didn't have these people stealing all our money and and working kickbacks and special deals and feeding the you know military industrial complex and all this and um you know it's just

Man, it goes back to what we said. There's just a lot of stuff that needs to be cleaned up. Totally. Yeah. No, it is. It is far gone. Guys, jump in on this conversation. Down in the comments, let us know what you guys think. With that being said, let's get to our third and final headline. Let's talk about some tyrants here. Headline number three reads, Emhoff Tim Walls walks away from cafe counter without paying. Someone will be up here to pay. Did you see that shit? No.

So they order some, some, some frou-frou lattes. They just walk the fuck off, man. No way. Oh yeah. And like, I mean, I think on the surface of it, right, I can get it. You know, things are happening. My people are going to pay your people. That's what it is, right? Like, you know, but I mean, no, they didn't even fucking acknowledge them. Um,

And I can get that, right? Like, I mean, these guys have staffers all around them and shit. You know what I'm saying? It could be awkward, you know, pulling out straight money. Like, I don't, like when we go travel, bro, I don't let you pay. I don't let you pull your wallet out. You know what I'm saying? It's not that you ain't got it. You know what I'm saying? But it's more of a security thing. I get that.

But on the other end of it, though, we've also seen plenty of videos of Trump in these restaurants and stuff, and he pulls out his shit straight from his pocket. You know what I'm saying? Or at least makes it. He doesn't walk away from counters with free shit. That's not how it works. And I mean, I think it's just showing this tyrannical mindset these people have.

fucking it's an elitist attitude that's what it is man let's check it out so uh second gentleman doug m hoff and minnesota governor uh tim walls walked away from the counter at a cafe without paying with walls's daughter revealing that someone will be up to pay

The video footage posted to Twitter appeared showed the two men walking away from the counter after Walz's daughter tells them that she will wait for the tea and informs a worker behind the counter that a campaign staffer is coming to the counter to pay. Let's check this clip out. So that's Walz's daughter right here.

You know for someone who's

It's probably not a good look to just walk away from the people serving you and not even acknowledge them or say thank you or say, hey, nice to meet you. You know, like if you're truly in the public eye, you should be treating everybody with respect. That's what I saw. And, you know, just don't look. I mean, look, dude.

They're douchebags. That's what it comes down to. I don't know how to say it any other way. I wonder what their coffee order was. Bro, when we go out to eat, do I take extra time to talk to the waitstaff and the bartenders and shit and whoever's talking to us? All the time. I love it. It's great.

And they would have got a kick out of it. Yeah. Even if they're, you know, they're not fans. I waited on people to build this shit. Like I did bar business. You know what I'm saying? Like, I know what that's like. You get zero respect. You get fucking yelled at. You get blamed for everything. The least that we could do as humans, whether you're Tim Walls or fucking Doug Jerkoff or whatever the guy's name is, is to fucking treat people.

waiters and waitresses with courtesy and respect. Baristas. Baristas. Okay. Dude, I'll be real, man. Like, I have a bit, you know this, I have a huge pet peeve. Like, if I go to dinner with someone and they're rude to a waiter or waitress, I will fucking cut them out of my life.

i will not talk to them ever again because like dude it tells me everything i need to know yeah you know what i mean like unless you can do something for this person they're going to say you and like i don't like those people yeah no it's a huge sale so yeah i mean that's a bit that's the best way to to judge somebody else's character like

watch them around other people, not you. There's a saying, right? Pay attention to how they treat people that can't do anything for them. Pay attention to that. And you'll know someone's character, bro. That's real shit, man. That speaks volumes. Bro, you guys couldn't say thank you? I mean, look, I know we're being petty here, but I personally think this is a deeper dig. If you're watching this on surface level, you could be like, oh, guys, you're just being too hard because you don't like them.

Well, I don't agree with that because I believe that that is a very clear indicator to someone's character. That's a poor value of mine. That's a true character test. Bro, if you don't treat service well, I think you're a piece of shit. Well, you say you're a Texas fan. Yeah. So imagine you're a Mac Brown fan. Yeah. So Mac. Yeah, I love Mac Brown. One thing about him, Mac was unbelievable with everybody. Yeah. And everybody's treated the same. And this is the same with, you didn't have it up there on the list, but I, not on the list, on the list.

I was in the terminal list too for a couple episodes, right? And Chris Pratt's like that on set. Mac and Chris. That's why everybody loves Chris. Because they treat everybody the exact same and they mean it. Or at least they act like they mean it if they don't. And that's a no. Nah, bro. You can't fake that. But sometimes you're just like, you're tired. You know you don't. You're just like, I want to go home. You still do it. Mac would, he would remember everybody's mom's name, everybody's brother's name, you know. And yeah, you're recruiting or whatever, but.

Everybody's treated the same. There's walk-ons that never played a down that text him today that played from 15 years ago. And he gets back to him and he's like, what do you need? How can I help? And I, one of the reasons I wanted to go to Texas was because I heard a story of him. You know, he went on one of these like USO trips with other coaches. Right. And he,

The helicopter was taken off. They're trying to get them. They're like, coach, we got to go. And there's still a bunch of troops there and there's no cameras or anything like that. And he's like, I'm not, I'll get the next one. Like I'm not leaving until all these guys get to spend a minute with me. If that's what they want, like look what they're doing over here. But he would do the same thing at a cafe or whatever. You know what I mean? He's just, that's how it is. We do that when you're tired as fuck, bro. Exactly. Yeah. No, but I mean, the thing is with this, this seems to just be a very common theme.

uh with people over there and like i mean again whether you want to say it's just throwing you know throwing throwing shots whatever you want to say is whatever but like they keep doing it you know i don't like i got this another clip here man this is probably the wildest thing i've seen here in a few weeks at least wilder than a fucking 10 foot alligator in someone's living room yeah okay yeah yeah i mean seriously it actually kind of pisses me off um did you guys see this dj gets pissed it's real

They're about to bring out Suge Afternoon. We don't want to get to Suge Night. No, you're almost Suge Night. People get shot. I'm right at Suge Afternoon, though. You get to Suge Sunset first, and then it goes to Suge Night.

I'm a Shug 603. Black female Dem CNN strategist tells white male pundit she won't be lectured by some white man. Did you see this shit? Yeah, I saw it. I did not, no. It's disgusting. Yeah, it's very fucking. Is there a video? Oh, fuck yeah, there's a video. Yeah, let's play this shit. Let's dive into it. So this is a Democratic strategist and CNN pundit, Aisha Mills.

Responded to a story about former President Donald Trump questioning the gene quality of convicted murderers by comparing the Republican presidential candidate to Adolf Hitler, falsely accusing him of supporting eugenics.

After these comments, Mills played the race card when she lost control of her rhetoric and found it hard to counter the arguments of Republican strategist David Urban. Quote, I'm not going to be lectured by some white man who has no idea what he's talking about. So let's check this clip out.

As an American, it makes me really concerned. As a black lesbian who Donald Trump doesn't believe has genes as good as his, is he going to attempt to exterminate me when he gets elected? Because he's damn near said it. That's why, David. That's why.

because he's okay and i'm not going to be lectured by some white man who has no idea what he's talking about and he's trying to rewrite history here i am afraid as an american of a donald trump presidency and his actual quotes because i take him seriously and i think that he believes what he says and that is why he is a danger and a threat to america erin erin you can't have a rational discussion

That's disgusting, man. First of all, how fucking stupid is this woman, okay? What she's referring to is what Donald Trump talked about when he was talking about all the migrants coming across the border and he said there's some bad genes coming across the border. That is a contextual statement that means the culture of America is being fucked with, okay? He didn't literally mean you have inferior genes to me as a white man. This is being twisted in

Like always into some sort of racist shit narrative and it's total bullshit and bro for you to sit there and say This lady sit there say I'm not gonna be lectured by a white man. What if I were to say I'm not gonna be sitting here in a lecture by some black dude. It doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about You guys would call that like that's yeah, and bro just like that would be a racist statement That's a racist statement

And we have to get away from this shit, this identity politics, this fucking, you know, black, white, gay, straight, left, right bullshit. It's stupid, bro. And the thing is, it's like, dude, I'm just saying, like, no one gives a fuck if you're a lesbian, man. No one gives a fuck if you're black either. No, you give a fuck.

Because it gives you privilege and power to shut people the fuck up. That's the thing. And that's how you know when they revert to that type of shit, she knows she lost the argument. Of course. She knows she lost the argument. When they start calling you names. That's all they can do is revert to it. Listen, man. When people start calling you a name, you've won. You've won. Yeah. You've won 100%, man. What do you think about this?

Yeah, I think she's a fucking idiot. Yeah. I think she's a black lesbian idiot. Yeah, me too. That's what she identified. And a racist. I'm using her words. Yeah. I had an idiot. That's some racist stuff. I'm offended. Well, that's, I mean, like, you know, they. I'm not going to be lecturing about black lesbian. People talk about like, oh, that's, people have said like, you know, that's reverse racism. No, it's just racism. When a person of color, it's just racism. Yeah. There is no reverse racism. Bro, if you judge someone legitimately, this is a legitimate statement.

I don't care who you are. I don't care where you come from. I don't care what your past is. I don't care. In 2024, if you judge someone on the amount of melanin in their skin or where they're from because they look different than you. Or their gender. Yeah. You're a fucking piece of shit. Okay? Period. Like, that's it. You're a world-class piece of shit. Low IQ. Yep. 100%, dude. That's stupid. Yeah, I don't... I don't know.

You know, that's how I feel, man. I feel like racism is racism. And if it's if it's look, we can't deny that there's a tremendous amount of anti white narrative in the in the fucking news cycle. OK, fucking white men and white women are the only people in the world that can't say I'm proud to be white.

If you're Mexican, you could say fucking Latino pride. If you're black, you could say black pride. If you're white and you say white pride, motherfucker, you're going on a list. You know what I'm saying? So like, let's be real about the anti-white narrative that's allowed. There's a huge double standard in society.

Other people that aren't white can say anything they fucking want about white people. White people, up until recently, can be denied a job based on their skin color. They're the only race that can. All right? That's changed now. But if we're talking about real racism, bro, the country, the only people that are actually legally able to be discriminated against by the law up until they just changed it are white people. Okay? So...

I'm not feeling this shit, all right? And I'm not going to sit here because I don't give a fuck that I'm white. I'm not going to sit here and say white pride. I don't give a fuck about that. I come from the belief that

that the United States is a place for all people and that we align under a culture that we all agree on. And we might have differences of opinions, but at the end of the day, we're Americans. We're not black Americans. We're not white Americans. We're not Asian Americans. We're fucking Americans, bro. And that's where my belief system comes from. And just like when we had Hawk Newsome on back in 2020, you know,

As white guy, I've never been able to say that I'm proud to be white. It's never something that you've never been able to say, hey, I'm proud to be white. And because of that, like, I feel like we don't have our identity based in race. Like, I don't even fucking think about that. Like, I never think, fuck, dude, it's so awesome to be white. Like, I don't think that. I think, like, there's DJ. DJ's got a little tan. You know what I'm saying? Like, there's Cyan. There's Z-Shot. No, I don't say that.

I say he's got a little, he's breaking the stereotype for black people. Smallest dick ever. You know, and, you know, dude, we make fun of each other. We have good humor. And like, I'm just sick of people like this trying to stoke this racial fire. I mean, that's why, that's why, first of all,

from a young person perspective this is why sports are really absolutely you get in a locker room everybody looks different from different places you don't give a because you go out there all you care about is the dude that's willing to like run through a wall next to you you don't really care about anything else right so that's a big one because there's way you know there's

Kids aren't playing, they're not outside, they're not on sports, they're on these things. - Yeah, and they quit desegregation programs for, so like when I went to school, bro, we had desegregation. So like they purposefully blended the schools with black and white children so that we would learn each other's culture. And then they stopped that here in Missouri.

So, you know, if you don't ever, it makes sense why the young people are so sensitive to race because they're never interact with people from the other race. Whereas like when I grew up, I went to, you know, schools that were half black because that was the programs that we went into. And dude, you know, you learn real quick. There's a culture and then there's your culture and we figure out how to get along and play on the same teams and be buddies. And that's missing in society, man. And it's the same in the military. Yeah. We, you know,

Your best friends, you know, you'll show up, you'll be the best man in some dude's wedding that's from a completely different part of the country or maybe the world. You know, different race, religion, doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It's all bullshit. And then, you know, you look at like Hollywood, right? And things swung so far one way, right? Because we're just in this place where we're walking on eggshells, you know, and you can't say anything. Like you said, like it's like,

the flag is an evil thing and whatever. A white person is inherently bad or something like that. And recently I've heard, and you're seeing it more where there's this push to sort of like re-correct 'cause we over-corrected like big time. And I just saw this clip recently of Kamal Ninjani, I think his name is, the actor, the comedian. You know what I'm talking about?

He's in, do you ever see The Big Sick? He's the main dude in that. He's in the superhero movies too. But anyway, he was up talking because he's, you know, he's like of Middle Eastern heritage or Indian. I can't remember exactly. And he gives this talk at this, you know, like award ceremony about how like,

like i want to play bad guys too i want to play terrorists you know too like some of us are good some of us are bad some of us are this some of us are that and it's not a political thing he's doing he's just talking real yeah because it's like we're in this place where from a you know film perspective it's like if you're not you know if you're not gay you can't play a gay character if you're not you know uh of this exact nationality you can't play this thing and it's just like

What happened to art and creating and actors and like, like storytelling and like just figuring it out together. It was like, we're just siphoning and, and segregating within these groups and, and just,

Making it really hard to communicate. Yeah, and really hard to feel like you can just speak your mind. Yeah say something like yeah But then you get you get behind closed doors, bro, and everybody's normal exactly. Yeah, it's like I saw a locker room Yeah, in the locker room, you know, so they take the tiles off nobody gives a shit And it's why I was I thought that was awesome. I don't know what his politics are I don't really care you like swinging your dick around a locker room. No, no, you know you said he couldn't Everybody can't that's why I'm guess I'm getting out here. I'm gonna catch him in a lot of swings Oh, yeah, this one fucking swings in like any

Alex thinks you got Alex thinks she's a lesbian Yeah, or is boy, what is it One of those names, that's right Yeah, dude, you know what though I think you know here's what I like

And this is why, like, I really want to swing our show into the comedy sector. Because, you know, let's be real. We're funny as fuck. All right? But you know what cures racism, bro? Comedy. Oh.

I was going to say more racism. More racism. Some of the most popular comics right now, though, are just like, they're saying, fuck it. Yeah! Bro, kill Tony. Because they make fun of everybody. Yeah, fucking everybody. Shane Gillis. Like, Dave Chappelle's been doing this his whole career. Bro, that is...

America man, like let's stop this stupid ass shit. We all got funny things about each other Let's make fun of each other and fucking get on with it like exactly well guys Let us know what you guys think about this third headline down in the comments with that being said man Let's get to our final segment a real question about the Indian What's that group that's going crazy right now the rap group from India? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, are they are they big in India?

Huge they got some good shit, dude. I really like them anyway. It's a it's a big fan base to pull from yeah billion people What's it called Humana kind kind new kind try to yeah, they got that big yeah

They got that song, Big Stepper. Yeah. That was a good song. Big Stepper. That shit goes hard, bro. Does it? Yeah, it's a little overplayed right now, but when the first time I heard it, I was like, fuck, that's... I don't think I've heard it yet. Yeah, you have. Yeah, you definitely heard it. Yeah. The video's cool, too.

The video's cool. I gotta check it out. Anyway. Yeah, well, let's get to our final segment of the show, guys. The white guy telling the black dude about rap. Yeah. Oh, bro, he listens to Mariah Carey, bro. Okay. Yes. I don't. Yes, you do. You can't wait for Christmas season. That is a great song. Yeah. Let's be honest. It gets us all going. DJ's all about it, dude. He's about that soft, you know, baby-making music, man.

All right. He plays the piano. He's fucking good, too. What's wrong with playing the piano? Nothing. I'm bragging on you. Jesus Christ. Calm down over there, Malcolm X. Fuck. I'm not about to be lectured. I'm not about to be lectured by some white dude. You do play piano pretty good. Bro, he plays the piano good. He sings good. A man's got talent. I don't know how he does it, though. He's got corn dogs for fingers. Dude, you know what? DJ's good at a lot of stuff, bro.

Like, he knows a lot about motorcycles. You're not good at shooting guns. Get the fuck out of here. Guess what? We'll find out Saturday. Yeah, we will. We will. Rematch. We're putting that shit on fucking YouTube. All right. Next YouTube video is me and DJ having a shooting contest on fucking Saturday. All right. Done. What is the bet? Whatever you want, man. All right. All right. Well, I'll let you pick it because you're going to fucking lose. The Wraith. Put the Wraith on the line. The Wraith? Yeah. For, like, you get to keep it? Yeah. Yeah.

Hmm. I think about it. I think about it. And he's going to be going to the gun range tonight. I don't need no practice, bitch. It's not a perishable skill for me. All right. We'll see. Yeah. We'll see. All right. Well, let's get to our fight. What weapon are we shooting? Whatever you, I'll let you choose that. Whatever you want. Okay. We're shooting B&Ts. Okay. Yeah. Ooh. Yeah. You know, I got to get my, like, I got to suck my shit in. Oh, I'll whoop your ass. You're scared now.

You going with, okay. All right, that's fine. That's fine. That's fine. I ain't worried. You're a little worried. Yeah, he is. I don't fucking miss with that motherfucker. I got to recite mine in. So I'll cite mine in first. I won't even touch mine. All right, that's good. You could have two sites. Okay. I'll take none. No sites. I'll shoot behind my back. Y'all heard this. Yeah.

Y'all heard it. All right. Well, let's get to our final segment of the show, guys. We got thumbs up or dumb as fuck. That's where we bring a headline in. We talk about it to get one of those two options.

So with that being said, our thumbs up or dumb as fuck headline. You remember the fat cat that we talked about? Oh, yeah. Crumb. Crumbs. Crumbs. Crumbs. Yeah. Apparently he has a buddy. It's a dog named Chunky. Chunky Crumbs. Chunky. Chunky. Chunky. That's a good name. Chunky dog tries to wiggle his way to freedom, but he gets stuck in fence and has to be rescued by a passerby. Too many snackos.

What's his name? DJ? Chonky. Chonky. Chonky. What? Oh, I see what you did there. I see what you did there. Yep. All right. You thought I was asking you. He was having a rough day.

A pleasingly plump Staffordshire bull terrier tried to wiggle his way to freedom, but wound up stuck in his owner's front gate instead. Steven Morando, who goes by at Papa Morando Willow on TikTok, revealed to his followers that he saw a chubby canine's predicament while driving by, stopping to help the not so little terrier.

Quote, Puppert was definitely trying to escape but had a few too many snackos to get his belly between the railings, Morano told Newsweek. The one minute and 11 second clip shows the staffie stuck in the middle with an American bulldog sitting next to him for what some could consider emotional support.

The pupper was bigger than he thought. Miranda joked about the chunky dog online. The chunky dog. Sorry. Chunky dog. The Australian man couldn't help. Sounds like a good snack. Chunky dog. Like for dogs? Chunky dog. Chunky dog. Chunky dog. I eat chunky. Chunky dog snacks? Yeah. That's a good name. Somebody do it. All right. Yeah. The Australian man couldn't help but notice the chunky black and white dog stuffed like a sausage between the metal bars.

Quote, not believing what I'd just seen, I hit the brakes and backed up, he added. I don't think anyone would have believed me if I didn't get it on camera. Here's a clip. He's just dropping past his house, and I think that dog's a little bit stuck. I can't push him yet. And no one saw him, so I'm going to go knock on the door. I love that he's just got his tongue out, though. He's still like, I'm happy. Aw, look at that guy. Can you get one leg?

That poor guy, he really is stuck. Alright, ready? Ready to go. Back in. Dude, he's stuck. Ready? And the bars. The dog is not helping at all. He's like, I'm trying to get out. He's like, I'm actually loving this right now. There you go. That's great. A little pressure. Nice. In you go. In you go. Try to come right back out. There you go. How about that beautiful American Bulldog next to him? All white.

Racist. Yeah. Yeah. Of course you like the white one. Yeah. But yeah, so Miranda noticed half of the hound's body was out the gate while his backside was still behind the fence. Although Miranda rushed over to help the unlucky animal, the pump seemed unbothered by what seemed to be a reoccurring issue, judging by the bent bars.

So the Good Samaritan was able to push the dog back behind the gate. However, the precocious pet can be seen instantly making yet another attempt to escape. Yeah, so the videos went viral and the owners end up finding out they reached back out to the stranger and thanked him for his kindness. So, yeah, there we are. I love American Bulldogs, bro. They're so badass.

That dude's just happy, bro. Yeah, he is. He's just happy. I don't think he's even trying to get out, dude. I think he's just posturing so people can pet him. I think he likes the pressure. It's like a hug. Yeah, it's a big hug. He's got some sensory stuff. Look at his little gray face. Yeah. He's chilling, man. What do we got on this, guys? I got to give a thumbs up. Yeah, I'd like it. I got to give a thumbs up to the guy, thumbs up to the dog for playing the guy. Chonky. Chonky dog. Chonky.

I love it, man. Look at that smile. He's like, I'm good. Yeah. All right. Well, sweet, man. Well, guys, Andy, Nate, that's all I got. Yeah. Nate, thanks for coming in, bro. This has been great. Yeah. So one more time, what's your social? So people can get in touch with you. Nate Boyer, 37. Okay. Yep. Guys, check him out. He's doing a lot of cool stuff, a lot of good stuff. Make sure you support him and we'll see you next week. Don't be a hoe. Show the show.
