Did you ever? No. I did not. You said it a hotel?

1:56

Good. Good. No. I

1:57

like that, man. We don't we don't do that anymore. I think your bed

2:00

is

2:00

one of the most pointless things you will

2:02

ever do in your life. Well, it isn't

2:04

it? Yeah. It's it's nice to

2:06

come home. Too. I'm I'm glad my wife does

2:08

it. No. I like I enjoy

2:10

it. Why? But for you, it's you you

2:12

get to come home to a freshly made

2:14

bed. Some made will do that tonight for you.

2:16

Yeah. Absolutely. In Austin, Texas. There

2:18

we go. I

2:18

don't know. They're not really servicing the rooms like they

2:20

used to before. COVID.

2:23

Man, can we can we fucking rage

2:26

about that? Because you're right.

2:28

And now you have to call down and ask,

2:31

oh, sir, would you like rooms Yes motherfucker

2:33

on what?

2:34

Broom clean. It's what it is. It's a freak. It's

2:36

shrinkflation inside of the service economy.

2:38

Right? Yeah. It's like they had they

2:40

found some kind of semi

2:43

legitimate excuse to stop doing the

2:45

work that they were getting paid

2:46

for? Yeah, dude. And now they're just not gonna

2:48

do it again. It's bullshit. It's how it's what

2:50

it is. And I don't need

2:52

you to come on, do you like serves yes,

2:54

serves through. Oh, ninety towels -- Mhmm.

2:57

-- stock them as high as they'll go. Like, that's that's

2:59

why I'm giving you

2:59

money. I wanna dry off each body

3:02

part individually and then throw that

3:04

towel on the

3:04

corner. Well, I pound it off eight, nine times a

3:06

day if I'm in a hotel just out of boredom. Sure.

3:09

There's towels all over the

3:10

place. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you're gonna

3:12

need that. Yeah. So yes. Stop

3:14

doing this bullshit. And then the tipping

3:17

thing, obviously, we we've already, you know,

3:19

raged against that already, but

3:21

man, we're over the COVID. Yeah,

3:23

you touched the sheets, touched the clothes --

3:25

Mhmm. -- lick them. Go go full,

3:27

Rudy, go bare, start licking all the things.

3:30

I see. If I'm so

3:32

whenever I do pound off in the hotel, which is

3:34

pretty much always,

3:36

I leave the door cracked. Right. Hoping

3:38

that

3:39

the maid will

3:40

come in. And then if she comes in and

3:42

fucking watches, then I will tip her. Have you

3:44

ever had a hot made at a hotel ever in your

3:46

entire life? Not once made either. Not once.

3:48

Have I ever seen it? The

3:49

last couple of times, it's been dudes. Really?

3:52

No. Like in Daytona. That's

3:54

right. Dude. Yeah. Was it dude? kept

3:56

trying to talk to me. I'm like, no. I'm not into this. Well,

3:58

he was a huge fan of yours. You know that. Right?

4:00

Yeah. Okay. Because he came up to the door

4:02

and was just, like, holy

4:03

shit. Oh, no. No. No. No. Not the guy. That guy was cool.

4:05

Oh, okay. That's the front desk guy. No. The guy

4:07

that was patrolling the hallways. Jesus.

4:09

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was a dude.

4:11

Yeah.

4:12

Like, do whatever you want in your life. I know.

4:14

It's fine. It's just unusual, but

4:16

I've never actually seen one

4:19

hot made where you're like, oh, alright. And

4:21

if I ever see a porn where there's one,

4:23

it's fake. We're just

4:24

like, that's not a real thing. Fucking next one

4:26

video. Let's move on with our lives because that's not fucking

4:28

real.

4:28

We should start our own hotel fair enough,

4:31

where the maids are hot and they

4:33

come jack you off. Well, they tried to.

4:35

They tried to do that out in Vegas. It was called

4:37

Hooters hotel, Bob. Hooters hotel

4:39

still

4:39

exists. Yeah. It's still there. It's still there.

4:42

No

4:42

shit. It's all I mean, the building's still there.

4:44

Okay. That doesn't necessarily mean that it

4:46

still operates. Next time we go out to Vegas

4:48

over there, I'd like to have those wings and

4:50

then gamble for little bit and just see what

4:52

the whole vibe is. But I think they

4:54

they switched it up. Right? There's it's

4:56

kinda August now. Who's here like

4:58

that?

4:58

Who knows is gonna rebrand?

5:00

Are they?

5:00

They said that people don't care about titties anymore,

5:02

so they're gonna do something else now.

5:04

Your kid. It's buttholes.

5:05

Is it gonna be buttholes? It's

5:06

just kinda it's gonna be called buttholes, BUTTLE,

5:10

Apostia, for yes. I like that. I like that.

5:12

It's a that's a street in downtown Columbus,

5:14

Ohio name bottles.

5:16

It's right down the short north. So yeah,

5:18

dude. Let's

5:19

The short north is where dudes get plowed. So

5:21

Sure is. How

5:23

did you know that? You told me

5:25

when we were there. I was right. Four years ago.

5:28

Yeah, man. It's a big butthole

5:30

town. Not that there's anything wrong

5:32

with that.

5:33

Is it still alive? You got it. Hooters

5:36

Casino

5:36

-- The hotel in Las Vegas.

5:38

So what do we just order wings to the room or

5:40

what? That would be a dream.

5:42

Is my wife still here? Is she over there? Yeah.

5:44

Yeah. Wings to the room. That

5:47

I think that's her dream. If you could get fresh

5:49

hot wings to your room, that's

5:52

it. That's that's as good as life. I think

5:53

you can get that pretty much anywhere in Vegas, though.

5:56

Not good wings though. Not good wings.

5:58

That's a that's a different story. I love

6:00

the wings and hooters. So I'm all in. If those

6:02

came hot to the room, because usually, If

6:05

you have you ordered takeout wings, I know we weren't

6:07

going there

6:07

today, but we should.

6:09

Takeout wings suck because you can't get them home

6:11

fast enough. Yeah. They're cold and suck. Is Yeah.

6:13

You gotta you gotta toss them in the air fryer. Mhmm.

6:16

That's the Does it work? Oh, yeah. But you don't

6:18

have

6:18

one. About twelve minutes in the air fryer.

6:20

You gotta get Okay. You have to. That's what

6:21

everybody says. I got I got one from my mom for Christmas,

6:24

but she's using

6:24

it. It's science. I've been putting everything in there.

6:27

Really?

6:27

Yeah. That's what everybody says.

6:28

My dog died. Put put them in air fryer. Boom. Life

6:31

is six years younger. Yeah. Every

6:33

single time. From

6:35

last time we were here, we talked about Berma a lot

6:38

-- Mhmm. -- about Rambo. Yeah. Yeah.

6:40

You remember that discussion on

6:41

Rambo? Yeah. Wait. What did he say?

6:44

Rambo.

6:44

No.

6:44

No. No.

6:45

What did that from Rambo. He called him a fucking

6:47

pussy, and he said he could kill him.

6:48

Well, So it's like Sorry. He's

6:50

like fucking three feet tall, so that's not a big deal.

6:52

He's not the movie, though. No.

6:53

In the movie, he's taller.

6:54

But what did sly say in

6:56

the movie? Sligh. In

6:59

in the movie Rambo? You

7:01

said You don't remember what you

7:02

mean? Oh, you don't remember the the one? No. No. No.

7:04

No. didn't you didn't go? There you go. Oh,

7:07

yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're taking any guns. You're not gonna do any?

7:10

Yeah. You're not gonna do any difference. Yeah.

7:12

Yeah. Yeah.

7:13

Yeah. That's fair.

7:14

Is trying to make a difference, John Rambo. That's

7:16

all we're doing. It's trying to make a That's fucking

7:18

difference out there, dude. that's all you're doing.

7:20

That's right. Trying to make a difference.

7:22

That's right. You're helping people. That's

7:24

right.

7:24

Through the

7:24

goal. Humanitarian efforts. What

7:27

are you doing these days? Yeah. Yeah. So I actually

7:29

just got back from spending four months in Berma

7:32

It's been basically, I've been there since the beginning

7:34

of of November. And my organization's

7:37

stronghold rescue and relief, we've been setting up

7:39

jungle ambulances, and

7:41

doing a bunch of stuff to help basically

7:44

protect refugees and people who are under

7:46

attack, just doing some I

7:48

guess, I call it, like, basic advising and setting

7:51

up early warning communication systems.

7:53

Because so so the central Burma Army, right,

7:55

they're the they're the ones who control the government. They are the government.

7:58

And Just like in the movie. Just like in the movie.

8:00

No. Exactly. Exactly. Just like in the movie.

8:03

And so they're going around raping, murdering,

8:05

killing everybody. And the entire country

8:07

is in toll revolt right now. So

8:09

tons of genocide, all that kind of stuff happening.

8:12

And so we're out there near

8:15

the front lines, not always on the front lines, but near the

8:17

front lines, basically trying to help

8:19

the locals and local civilian leaders

8:21

to figure out, okay, how can you protect civilians? How

8:23

can you keep them from getting hurt. And then we

8:25

also bring in, like I said, a lot of

8:27

radios and things like that. So the

8:30

so the locals can communicate when these when these

8:32

happen because they happen at random. These

8:34

there's air strikes that come in. There's all kinds of stuff

8:36

actually just yesterday

8:39

an air strike in a village that we normally work

8:41

in. The Burma Army

8:43

bombed it three times. They Drinkin fighter jets and

8:45

they're they're dropping bombs on, you

8:48

know, civilians. On civilians. On

8:50

civilians. Bamboo huts. And so

8:52

yesterday, but most of the civilians, they're able to

8:54

run away because they hear the aircraft coming. Right. And

8:56

so they're able to get in the jungle. But

8:58

then what happens is you have you have, like, old folks

9:01

or people who are injured and they can't get away. And so yesterday,

9:03

there was actually AA7 year old man in

9:05

this village. The Burmarmy dropped three, like,

9:07

five hundred pound bombs on these you know, bamboo

9:10

nuts and this

9:12

old man was was wounded. And then

9:14

it took like I don't I don't know the exact amount

9:16

of time, but it probably took sixteen hours or so,

9:18

maybe sixteen hours to get him to, like, the

9:21

next level of care. But as

9:23

they were moving this guy through the jungle,

9:25

They had to cross they had to go

9:27

down river, cross a lake, all this stuff had this

9:29

kind of boat. And this is like a this is a frail old

9:31

man trying to get him to this clinic. How

9:33

old is it? Seventy. Okay. Seventy year

9:35

old guy. And he's, you know, he's got

9:38

his pepper bush rattle and stuff in his side. And

9:41

So when they got them across the lake,

9:43

our team, our stronghold guys were actually there,

9:45

the local tribe guys that we work with. We

9:48

have an ambulance there. And they were able to get

9:50

this guy packaged up. We had AAPA

9:52

as well their physician's assistant

9:55

and got this guy transported him several more

9:57

hours to get him to a clinic

9:59

that's being run by another organization. They do great work.

10:01

And then I just found out this morning that guy had heart

10:03

failure from the injuries

10:06

and the clinic that

10:08

we or that that we drop our patients

10:10

off at had to basically cut this

10:12

guy open from basically

10:14

to get access to his heart and help him

10:16

help him I don't understand not a medic.

10:19

But yeah. And then they had to use

10:21

equipment that we had purchased that stronghold had

10:23

purchased for this organization. Several

10:26

months ago to do anesthesia on this guy

10:28

in the middle of the jungle and like a tent. And

10:30

they're they're running these highly complicated surgeries.

10:32

Out there. So the point

10:34

is, like, there's this there's no there's no medical

10:36

infrastructure. People being attacked, raped,

10:40

blown up, all this stuff, and there's no

10:42

medical. And so for the last

10:44

four months, we've been there really

10:46

advising on that and getting a bunch of stuff set

10:48

up. And I just got back a few weeks ago

10:50

and

10:51

yeah. So I'm not here. Why isn't

10:52

the media report on on any of this? Because I

10:54

if you weren't on the show today, I never would

10:57

have

10:57

heard -- No. -- any

10:58

single fucking word about

10:59

this. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, it's it's tough

11:01

because there's so many conflicts going on

11:03

around the world. Right? You have all the Africa. There's

11:05

one. Yeah. Ukraine. Yeah. There's Ukraine.

11:07

Exactly. That's it. That's all the other people

11:09

know

11:09

about. That's all that's going Exactly.

11:12

Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, I I don't I don't

11:14

know why people don't necessarily report

11:17

on these specifically, but I think

11:19

you know, so Berma is not the most important

11:22

geopolitically. Not most important

11:24

place geopolitically. Right? Just

11:26

like a lot of the conflicts happen in Africa or

11:28

Haiti or South America. They're not the most

11:30

important places, so they don't get tons of

11:33

attention. But but that's why we work there. Right?

11:35

That's why we go there. That's why we that's

11:37

why we go and work in these places because there just

11:39

isn't a a bunch of attention

11:41

there. That's what we we try to we try to

11:43

fill that gap as much as possible.

11:45

Gonna get Tintivo in there. He does he did

11:47

brain surgery on somebody.

11:48

He did. He also

11:49

made a word

11:50

walk. Yeah. Are you familiar with Tintivo? I know it

11:52

popped Tintivo. Football quarterback.

11:55

I know who he is. Yeah. I actually took down

11:57

the Ohio State University for a national championship.

11:59

I was at the game. Yeah. Who did it? It was a

12:01

two thousand 98I believe.

12:04

He

12:04

did brain surgery and and Costa Rica or

12:06

something.

12:07

Sure did. Yeah. Brain surgery there.

12:09

So my mom called called

12:11

because I'm super young. She had called and

12:13

and didn't make wish thing with him. So I got

12:15

to throw footballs. And I got up right

12:18

out of my wheelchair and caught the ball. Tim

12:20

did that. Okay. Well, I mean, also,

12:22

I I had no reason to be in a wheelchair.

12:25

But he still I you know, I the

12:28

the pass went high. Obviously,

12:30

he's gotta adjust what he was known for. But Yeah.

12:32

I did I did get up and do it. Yeah.

12:34

But I felt powerful and strong and

12:36

everything else. Mhmm. Maybe if you bring him

12:39

over there, you could save that entire country

12:41

and just I'm against a bit

12:42

balling. Mhmm. Just throwing out some ideas.

12:44

Well, that's why I'm here. I'm here to make a play to Tim

12:46

Debo to come. To

12:47

show you how to look in that camera? Yeah. Just look

12:49

in that camera. Right. Wait a minute. Tim Debo. There's

12:51

Alright. Perfect. Yeah. Say Tim Tiboe, we

12:54

need you. Yeah. Well, through Christ, say

12:56

Tim, I know through Christ, anything is possible,

12:58

and if you help me out.

13:00

We can save all these burmese. Yeah. Supermese?

13:03

So it's not so okay. So

13:05

Berma is called it's called Berma

13:08

right now, but it's also called Myanmar. So

13:10

there's a lot of different ethnicities. So Burmese

13:12

is, like, technically, like, a a specific ethnicity.

13:14

Okay.

13:15

So you would It would be, like, calling

13:17

the United States white people.

13:19

Yeah. Something like that. So that way is practiced.

13:22

Right? That's where what? That way where they're, like, headbutt

13:24

people, the fighting style, Myanmar, headbutt

13:26

people? Yeah. I think that's part of their

13:29

yeah. They like, they have, like, a Moittai Good

13:31

thing that they got going on. Yeah. Yeah. But they're allowed to yeah. You're

13:33

allowed to head both. How do you guys do somebody

13:35

from me and Mark? Though. Me and Marie. That's

13:37

a great question. I have no idea. Me

13:40

and my name is too. But everybody everybody

13:42

that doesn't support the government. For the most part,

13:44

everybody still calls it Berma because

13:46

the the military dictatorship, they're

13:48

the one that renamed it to

13:50

Myanmar. Mhmm. So everybody just sort

13:51

of has, like, a point of of

13:53

resistance usually refers to it as not everybody,

13:56

but most most

13:57

do. Okay. Yeah. don't have a answer

13:59

with that.

13:59

You should.

14:00

Yeah. You should

14:00

definitely, before you come on a podcast, have that

14:02

answer. Exactly. I

14:03

don't think anybody knows. You know, nobody

14:06

really I don't think I don't think they know. That's the thing you could ask them. Like, what

14:08

do you guys call yourselves? And they're like Yeah. Yeah.

14:10

We don't know.

14:11

To be honest with you, it's one of those countries where

14:14

you kind of forget about it because there's been conflict

14:16

for how many fucking years now at this

14:18

point? Well, basically, World War two never ended there.

14:20

Yeah. World

14:21

War two's not gonna have to be going here for that. Yeah.

14:23

For seventy years now at this point.

14:25

Mhmm. And you wonder

14:27

to yourself,

14:28

alright, well, how do you fix this? Mhmm.

14:30

What are the answers? Right. What what's the

14:32

answer to fix it? Mhmm. Well, so New

14:34

political party, new government. So, basically,

14:36

what has to happen is, in this particular

14:39

situation, the entire system has to be dismantled.

14:41

And so it's it's uniquely it's

14:44

uniquely challenging situation because it's not

14:46

it's not a a political problem

14:48

necessarily. It's a it's an

14:50

oppression problem. So you have the

14:52

the government in and of itself is the military.

14:55

So it's not like elected officials who are abusing

14:57

their power to use military to, like, silence opponents.

14:59

It's, like, no. The general general me ally,

15:02

he's he's the dude who's in charge. Like,

15:04

he's in charge. And So

15:06

he is the the president, if you will. Right?

15:09

So it's a so you have to defeat you

15:11

have to defeat the army in order to

15:13

be able to set up any kind of

15:15

political

15:17

any sort of legitimate political structure.

15:19

So it's -- Gotcha. -- and you

15:21

guys aren't helping out in any of that whatsoever.

15:23

You're just simply helping the people.

15:25

Yeah. So we're helping the people. We will provide medical

15:27

care and things like that on the front line. Like, don't me

15:29

wrong, so we get bombed, we get shot

15:30

at. Over last few months, I've been shot

15:33

at a bunch. I've been moored at a bunch, but it's former

15:35

up at the front lines providing medical care and

15:37

and getting people

15:38

out of there. Yeah. Because one would imagine the

15:40

Burmese army, if you will,

15:42

is -- Mhmm.

15:42

-- amped to see some white men

15:44

there.

15:45

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They'll kill us. One hundred percent. They'll kill us

15:47

if they see us. Okay. No. No. No. No. No.

15:50

They call white people there.

15:51

Is it still honkies or no? No. No. No. So the

15:54

the tribe we work with the Korent tribe, their their

15:56

word for white people is Kalaa.

15:57

Oh,

15:58

a couple Was that me? Yeah.

15:59

Yeah. Just means white person. Literally That's kinda literally

16:01

white person.

16:01

That's a lot better than Drinkin or honky

16:04

or

16:04

I don't take that. What is Gringo on me? Bad.

16:07

Drinkin means other or something. No. It means

16:09

white. It means you're That's Blanco.

16:11

No. That's the slang that's the slang

16:14

for a white man is

16:15

Drinkin.

16:15

understand that. But what is it actually mean? The

16:17

US military wore green coats when they were

16:19

marching through Mexican territory, and

16:22

the Mexicans would say green go

16:23

home. These words of they got meshed together

16:25

to green go. There you go, Bob. Look at

16:27

that.

16:28

Look at that. That's actually very fascinating. Yeah.

16:30

Isn't it? I'm like, yeah. That's that's amazing. Yeah.

16:32

So interesting. When you come here, We're

16:35

not just podcast host. We're also

16:37

educators. Yes. Absolutely. You can take

16:39

something home with

16:39

you. Perfect. Put that in your pocket and use whenever

16:42

you want. Yeah. I

16:42

mostly educate I'll tell the people in Berma because that's

16:45

what they're

16:45

mostly Yeah. Please do. mostly

16:47

educate the homeless. So I go downtown

16:49

and I yell at them about Jesus

16:51

all day long. All day long.

16:52

Not that he's

16:53

coming back, but that he's not coming back because

16:55

you're homeless. Exactly.

16:57

He's got, like, a karaoke setup

16:59

with

16:59

him. It's one mic, one amp, and then he'll

17:01

kinda scream with them about Jesus. There

17:03

you go. For hours. So Dan's that

17:05

guy. There you go. You were here

17:07

what? A year and a half ago? No. It was like three years

17:09

ago.

17:10

Holy shit. was it was, like, right, it was right

17:12

before COVID hit, man.

17:13

We do so many shows, and it seems like

17:15

I just saw you an hour ago.

17:16

So it's like, oh, hey. Good. It's like, oh, yeah. What's

17:18

up, man? When you walked in, I didn't know your name,

17:20

Avi. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know anybody's names.

17:22

And I just I was, like, alright.

17:24

Sweet.

17:25

Then it was, like, March the fourth twenty

17:27

twenty. God

17:27

damn. Yeah. So in that long, Yeah. It was three

17:29

years. March twenty first. Right? Three years. Yeah.

17:31

Holy shit. Isn't that

17:32

crazy? You're still working there. Yeah.

17:36

Somehow somehow.

17:38

That's nuts too. Yeah. The

17:39

metal detector is Captain America shield or anything?

17:41

I don't have a Captain America shield, but also

17:43

need to get one. Yeah.

17:44

You're assuming the US

17:45

is I need I need to buy one? Yeah. We we

17:47

can hook you up with a guy -- Okay. -- downtown.

17:50

There's a van. It's awesome. A

17:52

a pit bull

17:52

too, like, a young pit bull. We can get that as

17:54

well. They say it's a pit bull, but by the time it's

17:56

fully grown, you can tell it's a Yeah. It's month.

17:59

It's definitely so cute. It's so nice. You

18:01

can take them home. And then once you can -- Come for

18:03

now. -- couple the PTSD.

18:04

So for for three years, You've been doing this

18:06

over there. I'm

18:08

assuming you're not married? No. I'm not married

18:11

at the moment. Because

18:11

nobody would put up with that.

18:12

No. No one's no one's gonna put up with that, and that's the the

18:14

struggle is real. It is. Yeah.

18:16

And then how many months out of the year would you say

18:18

that you're you're you're there still? Well, so over

18:20

the last couple of years because of COVID, I wasn't

18:23

due to COVID. Right? I wasn't able to get

18:25

out there for a

18:26

while, and then I was in Ukraine,

18:28

and then I was

18:30

in Really? -- conflict. Going on.

18:31

You were the real conflict was going on. Yeah.

18:32

Were you helping

18:33

out people during the war? In Ukraine?

18:35

Mhmm. Yeah. I was in I was in Kiev when the Russians

18:37

were still

18:38

advancing. One more one more time for

18:41

It's Keith. Correct?

18:41

No. It's not. It's Keith. Right? Well, it's You can't answer

18:44

it. You were there. Kiev is the

18:45

seat of the original Russian power, and it's been

18:47

pronounced Kiev for a fucking penthouse.

18:49

So so the Russian

18:50

answer. So the Russians call it Kyiv.

18:52

And the Ukrainians call it Kyiv. I believe.

18:54

Yeah. But but the Ukrainians are the

18:56

Russians just from a thousand years ago. That's the

18:58

same. The fucking group of

18:59

people. Sorry. I stand with Ukraine.

19:01

I'm in the city, Kiev. It's Kiev.

19:03

No. It's Kiev. Not

19:04

at all. They're getting They just made the Kiev all over.

19:06

We've

19:06

never heard the word Kiev before a year and a half ago.

19:09

No.

19:09

No one is true. No. That's true. I've never heard the word,

19:11

Keith, before you're in jail. That is not true. Okay.

19:13

No one that matters now. So it's not

19:15

true. I just haven't cared about

19:17

Ukraine. For -- Until you're

19:19

in. -- until you're in. Yeah. No. Yeah.

19:21

No. You're right. I don't care either. But the it

19:24

it's something about Keith that really hits for

19:26

me.

19:26

Yeah. You're like

19:27

I can't describe it. It

19:28

sounds dirty.

19:29

It sure doesn't. It sounds like

19:30

your your chest key done or something.

19:32

Yeah. Well, look. If you get cubed all over,

19:34

you get cubed all over. No. Pretty

19:37

much, man. How long were you in cubed? So

19:39

I spent about a total I wanna say maybe

19:41

six to eight weeks total in Ukraine.

19:43

I think it was in Kiev for maybe three or four

19:45

weeks of that. So when I was there, it was actually

19:47

one of the Russians stopped their advance.

19:50

Again, because I'm Rambo. So

19:53

Yeah. It was hundred percent me. So the yeah.

19:55

So the Russians were advancing. We were there

19:57

helping prepare again the medical situation,

20:00

and then the Russians stopped and they started pulling back.

20:02

And so then I went down to Odessa

20:05

because we thought at the time that that's where without

20:07

the Russians, we're gonna basically open up a second front and

20:10

Odessa do some sort of amphibious asol.

20:12

So he has there for maybe maybe

20:14

two months. And then my team I

20:16

I brought those guys in after I'd been there for about

20:18

a month and then they stayed, I think, all the way until,

20:20

like, mid May. And we're all the way up on

20:23

the front lines. Treeing

20:25

wounded and doing medical bringing in a whole bunch

20:27

medical supplies and stuff out in out in the far

20:29

far east, out in severed the netsk and stuff

20:31

like that as it was being attacked. How bad

20:33

is it? The

20:36

war? Yeah. It's horrible. So okay.

20:38

So I'll give you I'll give you one quick story. When I so

20:40

like I said, I was in Kiev when the Russians stop

20:42

and when they pulled back So we were

20:44

actually staying in a in house provided

20:46

to us by a a wealthy Ukrainian

20:49

and they just let us stay in their in their place.

20:52

And we had been told that the wife of

20:54

this family, she had told us that her mother

20:56

who has Alzheimer's was in an area

20:59

called Búcha, which was a

21:01

part of Kiev called Lucha, which was

21:03

occupied at the time by the Russians. And so

21:05

when the Russians stopped and they pulled back, Ukrainian

21:08

forces went back into that particular neighborhood

21:10

and, you know, started liberating

21:12

it. But that's when the first major

21:14

massacres had had been found.

21:17

And so they've and we When you when

21:18

you're a partner up, sir, once when you

21:20

say major massacre, how many people would you

21:22

say died? Hundreds. And

21:25

I'm talking like civilians. So they were they were dragging

21:27

civilians out on the street, stripping them naked, shooting

21:29

them in the head, burning the bodies, raping the women,

21:32

the mother of the nations This is the Russian soldiers.

21:34

This is the Russian soldiers doing this to Ukrainian

21:36

civilians just in like a suburb

21:38

of Keith. Okay. And so

21:41

but then we found out that the mother

21:43

of of the wife who's of of the

21:45

family that was letting us stay in their house, she

21:47

was found from what I understand

21:49

naked shot of Lenin. John Lenin.

21:52

John Lenin. Yeah. Yeah. From the Beatles. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

21:54

He's he's the big mural of him on the wall.

21:57

And so they were staying on there with these

21:59

soldiers for several days, just training them. And

22:01

so my guys, they messaged me and they're like, hey, man, can

22:03

we can can we pull back? Like, we're gonna we're gonna get

22:05

killed if we stay out can we pull back? Are you okay with that?

22:07

And I was like, yeah, absolutely. Totally your guys' call, you know

22:09

the situation. Pullback and, you

22:11

know, whatever. Leave the medical supplies, but get out of

22:13

there. I think twenty four

22:16

or forty eight hours later, that position

22:18

was completely overrun by Russian troops.

22:20

And we got reports

22:23

that Russian soldiers with

22:25

night vision goggles, so, you know, special

22:27

forces or whatever, might have been speed snarls. I don't

22:29

know. But Russian forces with night vision

22:31

goggles went into that same exact bunker

22:33

where those guys had been sleeping,

22:36

they went in there and killed everybody. So,

22:38

yeah, our guys Had they stay there forty

22:41

eight hours longer out of a sense of pride or something,

22:43

you know, very, very high likelihood they would have been

22:45

killed. So very violent, very dynamic,

22:48

very different than any kind of war that

22:51

most American veterans have have

22:53

ever been involved in. So, again, my Mattos

22:55

off to all the all the guys that are going over there

22:57

and are helping. I I truly truly nothing

22:59

but respect because

23:01

it was situation that I looked at and I was

23:03

thinking, man, like, I I don't I don't

23:06

don't know if I have the courage to get to go up there and

23:08

get in the trenches. So yeah.

23:10

So it's it's a very, very different, very

23:12

violent war because you're also dealing with two different

23:14

armies that are roughly equally matched,

23:17

technologically and numerically, roughly. And

23:20

so what happens is, like, you just have massive

23:22

amounts of casualties. The the American military,

23:24

we're used to doing what's called asymmetrical

23:27

wear warfare. Where we completely

23:29

dominate our enemies. Right? We outnumber them. We have

23:31

way better technology than them. We just swarm them

23:33

because we know where they're at and we just, you know, crush

23:36

them and there's no chance for them to even resist

23:38

really. This is totally different. This is World

23:40

War two style tanks

23:42

firing on other

23:43

tanks. And trench warfare and all

23:45

that. Yeah.

23:46

In your best guess, what

23:49

do you think is going to happen over there?

23:51

And and when will this end? My

23:53

best guess, again, I, you know, it's hard to predict

23:56

the future. III thought the country would

23:58

fall in four days, you

23:59

know, obviously I

24:00

think we all think yeah. We all did. Yeah. So I'm

24:03

not gonna sit here and and bet too much on

24:05

my own personal opinion, but

24:07

I think that at some point a deal will

24:09

be reached. I don't know when

24:11

or, you know, how that's gonna how that's gonna play

24:13

out. I think some sort of deal will be reached

24:15

because the Ukrainians don't have the strength to push

24:18

the Russians out. And the Russians don't have the

24:20

strength to take take the rest

24:22

of the country. So it's gonna be

24:24

a stalemate. At some point, you're gonna have sign some

24:26

kind of peace deal. The Russians are gonna continue to occupy

24:28

eastern parts of Ukraine. That's

24:30

that's my best

24:31

guess. I could be totally wrong. But

24:34

yeah. Because Dan has said, you know,

24:36

few times in the show that this is gonna go on for

24:38

years. And then right before we went on air,

24:40

you got an update of

24:43

some weapons that are gonna head

24:45

What would you say the country earlier than next?

24:47

Expectating

24:48

up the timeline on the Patriot

24:50

batteries in the tanks that were

24:52

sold. The US's. Mhmm. Okay. And they've already

24:54

got leopard two tanks over there or at least

24:56

on the way from Poland. So We'll

24:58

see how that goes. I mean, the tanks are gonna be

25:01

for setting a corton on whatever

25:03

the Armistice line happens to be. I Drinkin don't

25:05

think there's gonna be a tank offensive even the

25:07

spring fighting season. That I

25:09

don't that doesn't make a lot of sense to me because

25:11

Russia dominates the Eastern Ukrainian airspace

25:13

right

25:13

now.

25:14

Right. And they're just gonna light those tanks up.

25:16

So that would that would not be smart, I don't think.

25:18

But they will get them in country and, you

25:20

know, continue

25:23

moving them east to a point where they meet

25:25

resistance, I would imagine. Okay.

25:27

We'll see.

25:28

So it's interesting that that you're here

25:30

because, you know, you hear Zelensky on

25:32

every fucking American media outlets

25:35

talking about what's going on there and the Oscars and

25:37

all this other stuff -- Yeah. -- we're saying, it's

25:39

true it's false. It's true it's false. But you can

25:41

actually confirm that that that that

25:43

is what's going on over

25:44

there. No. Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. So I I don't

25:46

know where this weird narrative started that. I think

25:49

it's honestly, I think it's probably a Russian propaganda

25:51

narrative that it's that's all and it's all,

25:53

you know, that the Ukrainians are making stuff up.

25:55

And, no, I'm telling you, like, I've I've saw the photos

25:57

and videos right after they were

25:59

taken. And, you know, people with tears in their

26:01

eyes showing me that said family members on the side of

26:03

the world. Not very hard to believe

26:05

that Russians are committing war. I mean, they haven't

26:07

they're they're militaries in that they're not very

26:09

good at doing war. They

26:10

were they I'm Which was shocking to me. Well,

26:12

I'm shocked. If you think about it, the last time they

26:14

fought a major one was World

26:16

War two. Right? Mean, they they've had conflicts

26:18

all

26:18

over, including

26:19

Vietnam. Afghanistan? Oh, Afghanistan.

26:22

Yeah. Yeah. But the Afghanistan had

26:24

no air at all. Mhmm.

26:27

And and they dominated Afghanistan until we

26:29

sent missiles over there and started shooting those goddamn

26:31

things out of the sky. But Russia's military

26:33

has been particularly good

26:36

at sending in cannon fodder. Right?

26:38

They try to over they try to overwhelm

26:40

you with an attrition war, but they can't do that

26:42

against in any kind of legit country

26:45

at this point because they don't they're not they're not

26:47

as technologically advanced as

26:49

we are. Like, we could America could roll

26:51

through Russia pretty easily. Because

26:53

we could wipe out what, one, we would

26:55

have navy surrounding them basically -- Mhmm.

26:58

-- and just want, you know, preparing

27:00

the battlefield and then we would have air superiority. So

27:03

But, yeah, Ukraine can't do that. But Russia

27:05

sucks at fighting wars. They're

27:07

terrible. They've always been bad at it.

27:09

And for you, why do you keep going

27:11

to these countries to help out people

27:14

instead of staying

27:16

home and just, you know, starting a new

27:18

life here and and trying to

27:20

figure it out you seem like a

27:22

guy who is constantly chasing

27:25

these wars rather than, hey, I did

27:27

my time, I did my service, and now I'm

27:29

out on these

27:30

wars.

27:30

Like, I'm I'm all good. Why do you think

27:33

you keep chasing these around the world?

27:35

So two comments on that.

27:37

One is

27:40

I the the short answer is, like, I've seen

27:42

too much, and I know the effect

27:44

that one or two people with my background

27:46

can have in in these areas where

27:48

there's zero support. That's one. And

27:50

the other thing is, as far as,

27:52

like, chasing it, yeah, I I understand what you're saying.

27:54

Like, we we are Yeah. Going where

27:56

the going where the danger is going where people need

27:58

help and that's why we go. That's why we go to these

28:00

places specifically. Yeah.

28:03

I just when I was in when I

28:05

was in the the military, I

28:07

was in Afghanistan, and I was in a situation where

28:09

I almost had to shoot two little girls And

28:12

luckily, at the last second, I'm screaming at them.

28:14

I probably I was actually reprimanded later for

28:16

not shooting them because I

28:18

got close to us and possibly had suicide vest

28:21

on. So I but I

28:23

was I screamed at them and I got them I got these two little

28:25

girls to run away from me. So I didn't have to kill them.

28:27

And but I just remember after that experience, that

28:29

was that was actually only my second mission. Only

28:32

my second time ever outside the wire. I was in

28:34

that in that sort of situation. I just

28:36

remember thinking during my time in the military. Man,

28:38

like, who's who's helping who's helping the the

28:40

sort of civilian side of this? You know, I know the

28:42

American military, we we do a lot of really good

28:44

stuff to help civilians and whatnot. But

28:46

I just thought, man, like, these poor little girls, they

28:48

just so they ran away from me back to basically

28:50

back to the Taliban. And I'm like, they have no one

28:52

helping them and just kinda got me thinking about

28:55

what are what are some other ways and and and places

28:57

that I could help when I get out of the military to

29:00

to go and help. And then that's why I got out in

29:02

two thousand seventeen and started stronghold rescue

29:04

and relief was because, yeah,

29:06

again, I just wanted to I've got one life

29:08

to live. You know, and I wanna

29:11

I wanna make sure that I maximize my time

29:13

here on earth, helping as many people as

29:15

possible because I mean, what

29:17

else I mean, what else am I gonna do? Once once

29:19

once you've seen this stuff firsthand,

29:21

once you've seen what's going on and then

29:23

once you see, like, oh, I can actually stop

29:26

this or I can help this or I can provide medical

29:28

care to this person or I can, you know, set up humanitarian

29:30

aid in these in these war zones specifically

29:35

You you feel guilty leaving, honestly. So like

29:37

I like I said, I just got back to the states couple weeks

29:39

ago after four months in the jungle.

29:41

And when I, you know, when I landed back in the States,

29:44

there wasn't this feeling of, like, relief. Okay.

29:46

I'm back. Everything's good. It wasn't that at all.

29:48

I was, like, man, I wanna I wanna

29:50

I wanna go back because, you know, there's

29:53

I'm still getting reports of, you know, pictures of

29:55

of patients and stuff like the like I was telling you

29:57

about just yesterday. There's more patients coming

29:59

in. They they need now they need AAA

30:02

boat ambulance. Right? So transport these

30:04

patients across this this lake and up these rivers

30:06

and such. And so we're going back in a few weeks

30:08

to start setting all that up.

30:10

But I, you know, I have to come back to the states so can

30:13

obviously fundraise and and tell people what we're And

30:15

and raise support and all that. But, yeah,

30:18

I guess, it sounds like a broken record here. But,

30:20

yeah, again, once you once you've seen it,

30:22

you can't you can't unseat it. And Yeah.

30:25

You can't just sit back on the

30:27

sidelines. Gotta

30:27

get Connor MacGregor to donate that fucking

30:30

Ferrari boat or whatever.

30:31

I know. The thing looks sexy to do. You can do

30:33

a lot of shit in that. Or the

30:36

wait. What did we decide? It was called airboat

30:39

37:09

one would imagine that you drove by a

taco bell and you saw the Mexican pizza was back

37:13

and you're like, maybe I'll stay. Is

37:15

it staying? It's gonna stay on the menu. So

37:18

Okay. Really wanna go back anymore when

37:20

you have that option there.

37:21

Well, I mean, I'll I'll take the recipe. I'll take the

37:23

recipe with me back, and I'll ask the locals

37:26

if they can make it out of Kinda says you're a

37:28

Chinese version of Taco Bell. Boy,

37:30

what's that? It's called dysentery. It's

37:32

it's called no. It's called yeah. It's called jungle

37:34

rat and and rice. That's what it is. I mean,

37:36

you brought it up

37:37

and

37:37

who knows. Yeah. Who knows. The

37:40

last time you were here, I had asked you about what

37:42

your parents thought. Mhmm. If

37:44

I'm because I've got two boys. Yes.

37:46

If they wanted to do this over and over

37:48

and over again as a parent, I don't think

37:50

I'd be able to fucking

37:52

sleep. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So my parents

37:54

are actually extremely supportive. They're

37:57

and they have been, you know, my my entire life

37:59

and my time in the military. They actually went

38:01

in sign the papers for me when I was seventeen

38:03

so I could join early to join

38:05

the Navy. And, you know, they've been extremely

38:07

supportive and and my mother in particular, so actually

38:10

when I when I got shot in Iraq, I don't know

38:12

if I told you guys a story or not, but when I got shot in Iraq,

38:14

I called my mom. I was in the ambulance. I was fine.

38:17

I just took a took a bullet through the calf. It

38:19

was through and through. Like, everything's fine. But

38:22

I knew that something could pop up on social media and she might

38:24

hear that I got shot and she might think for an hour that

38:26

I'm dead. Right? So I immediately call

38:28

her And I

38:30

tell her I was like, hey, mom, like, everything's fine. Don't don't

38:32

panic. It's all good. I just got shot in

38:34

the calf, but I'm good. So her

38:37

response without skipping and beat.

38:39

She's like, oh, you got shot in the calf, but at least you didn't

38:41

get shot in the bowl. And I was

38:43

like, what? And I was like, oh, and then it

38:45

took me to get the joke. She's like, at least you didn't get shot

38:47

in the bowl. Like, instead of getting shot in the

38:49

cast. Mom jokes. Like, that

38:51

that was that was my mom's first response.

38:53

Like, I'm on fentanyl right now, mom. I don't understand

38:55

don't understand it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

38:57

Exactly. That's

38:58

funny. Yeah. Yeah. And so they're

39:00

still cool with it to this day. Yeah.

39:02

Absolutely. I mean, obviously, it's it's tough,

39:05

you know, going over there and and, you

39:07

know, again, like I said, we get bombed and shot

39:09

at and all that stuff. We're not there too fight,

39:11

but yeah. But I mean, one of

39:13

those days. Right? You put yourself

39:15

in this most danger on a daily basis.

39:18

Are you really expecting to make it out of all

39:20

of this alive? You know, honestly,

39:22

I what I told myself, I was like, if if I lived

39:24

to be thirty, I'm probably I'll probably be able to

39:26

make it. For the rest of the for the rest of the time. Why

39:29

is that? I don't know. Just something in my head. I was like, I mean,

39:31

they're gonna die before thirty or I'm gonna or

39:33

I'm gonna be just fine. And so luckily, I'm

39:35

thirty now, so I'll be I'll be good. I think

39:37

But also to with that being said, like in all seriousness,

39:40

I do understand that,

39:42

you know, eventually, your your number's gonna your

39:44

your ticket's gonna get punched. Right? And

39:46

so for me, it's like I'm very I'm very careful about

39:48

what we do and make sure that if we're if

39:50

we are getting involved in dangerous situation,

39:53

that it's for a reason And

39:55

then I also, you know, do

39:57

plan on hopefully in a few years. I don't know at

39:59

what point if I do have family and and

40:01

kids and all that stuff, kind of pulling back

40:03

significantly and taking more of a sort

40:05

of high level managerial position,

40:08

if you will, and and whatnot.

40:10

But But, yeah, in the meantime, yeah, there's

40:12

a but but but it's like,

40:14

okay. Yeah. You see, like, a little, like, eight year old

40:16

girl. Like, so I just posted a video on our Instagram

40:18

today. There's, like, of of of people

40:20

it was last year, of people in Berma getting

40:23

shot at by the Berma Army. So it's little girls,

40:25

little boys and their moms running across

40:27

this rice rice field. They're getting

40:30

shot at, and they're screaming, and they're

40:32

panicking, and they don't know what to do. And

40:34

so this is on your

40:35

Instagram. Yeah. Yeah. We just posted this on our on stronghold

40:38

rescue Instagram today. Bob, do you wanna bring that

40:40

up on Stronghold Rescue? We can actually show the

40:42

video on Patreon today. Fellas. Wait. Okay. Yeah. So

40:44

we're able to show this -- Perfect. -- something

40:46

we wouldn't be able to get away with on YouTube, obviously.

40:48

Okay. So yeah. We'll we'll do it. That

40:50

way, at least the audience can

40:53

see visually what's going on here.

40:55

Yeah. Yeah. And

40:56

It's

40:57

that second one

40:57

there. Are you surprised Instagram why don't

40:59

you post this? Are they Well, actually,

41:02

it does sound So this one in particular,

41:04

no. There's nobody they didn't

41:06

they didn't take it but there's no there's no particular violence.

41:08

There's no blood. Nobody gets hit in this video. Okay.

41:11

But it's it's it's villagers running away getting

41:13

shot at. And so my my point is

41:15

you see this, you see this little seven year old, eight

41:17

year old girls and boys getting shot at, and

41:19

then you can't you can't sit there and go,

41:23

well, you know, what about my what about my Taco

41:25

Bell. Right? Like, your brain wouldn't do that.

41:27

And and you and you as well. Like, if you saw

41:29

this in reality, like, if somebody's trying to kill your

41:31

kids, you're not gonna be like, oh, Taco Bell. Right? You're gonna

41:33

be you're gonna do you're gonna, you know, try

41:35

to do whatever you can within reason to

41:38

to help them. And again, you can't chase

41:40

it. Right? You can't be chasing the action. So that's another thing

41:42

to him very careful with the personnel that we bring on

41:44

because you do have

41:45

guys, you know, who go rambo.

41:48

Who wanna go rambo? That's the

41:49

thing

41:49

you don't go ramble. Ramble is ramble is a movie,

41:51

man. Like, you will get killed. You run

41:53

around out there. It's it's it's it's

41:55

like it was pretty real.

41:56

Yeah. It's a documentary. Yeah. It's

41:58

sort of a documentary. Almost like a doc. Yeah.

42:00

So play that video. Which one is it?

42:02

The The second one there. Play this video,

42:04

Bob. Let's see this one.

42:08

Alright. Pop that up.

42:29

So you hear the increased gunfire running

42:31

right now. Like, these people are being targeted. It's like

42:33

little girl in a yellow

42:34

shirt. This isn't a soldier.

42:37

Wait. Why are they being targeted?

42:41

Because they're ethnic minorities and they refused

42:43

to bow the knee to the

42:44

Burmari. Okay. That's it. So

42:46

why would somebody go in and never all of these

42:48

people? Oh, one second. I'm gonna

42:50

point out something too. In this little video, the little boy

42:52

there. Yeah. He's holding a kitchen knife.

42:54

He knows he has nothing on his back. He doesn't have a backpack

42:56

on. He has nothing. He's holding a kitchen

42:58

knife, his little boy. So and

43:01

that I don't know the exact details on that situation.

43:03

I didn't take the video, but this

43:05

little boy was just pushed out of his village.

43:08

His mom and his sisters are all about

43:10

to get raped and murdered if they don't get the

43:12

hell out of there. Mhmm. And all he can do

43:15

What what's what's the one thing he grabs? He doesn't he

43:17

doesn't grab his toys, doesn't grab anything.

43:19

He grabs a kitchen knife. To

43:21

protect his mom and his sister, and he's sitting there

43:24

You see what I'm saying? Yeah. So you see that.

43:27

And how can you not go

43:29

back? How can you not help? How can you not it be

43:31

like, hey, man. But but to get your knife away. I Got

43:33

you. Like, let me I I will help you. And

43:35

can't I can't do all your fighting for you. That's

43:37

not when I'm there. I can't fight for you.

43:39

But I can provide I'm gonna point on

43:41

something too. In this little video, the little boy there.

43:44

Yeah. He's holding a kitchen knife. He

43:46

knows he has nothing on his back. He doesn't have a backpack on.

43:48

He has nothing. He's holding a kitchen

43:50

knife. This little boy. So

43:52

in that, I don't know the exact details in that

43:54

situation. I didn't take the video, but

43:56

this little boy was just pushed out

43:58

of his village. His mom and his sisters

44:01

are all about to get raped and murdered

44:03

if they don't get the hell out of

44:04

there. Mhmm. And all he can do

44:06

What what's what's the one thing he grabs? He doesn't he

44:08

doesn't grab his toys, doesn't grab anything. He

44:11

grabs a kitchen knife. To protect

44:13

his mom and his mom and his sister, and he's sitting there

44:15

You see what I'm saying? Yeah. So you see that.

44:18

And how can you not go

44:20

back? How can you not help? How can you not you're

44:22

like, hey, man, but but to get your knife away. I got

44:25

you. Like, let me I I will help you. And

44:27

I can't I can't do all your fighting for you. That's

44:29

not why I'm there. I can't fight for you.

44:31

But I can provide medical support to

44:33

the guys who are fighting for you, the freedom fighters.

44:35

I can, you know, we can help provide reconnaissance.

44:38

We can help evacuate wounded. We can do

44:40

all of

44:40

that. We can we can get you to safety. We can get you

44:42

food humanitarian relief. Mhmm. You

44:44

know?

44:45

How old are you in real life?

44:47

Thirty in real life.

44:48

Just making sure because you do a lot of In

44:50

in fictional stuff. Yeah. We we

44:52

need to know. Yeah. Because you play younger, obviously,

44:54

but you're thirty in real life. Is there an

44:56

age where you say, hey, I'm I'm gonna

44:58

be tapped out of this because we

45:00

had a bunch of the Save Our Allies guy Guys

45:03

on who were over there helping

45:05

out. And some of them

45:07

came back and they were just like, shipment. I'm fucking

45:09

getting old to do this

45:10

shit. Yeah. Yeah. Is there

45:11

an age where you think you'll tap out of this where you're

45:13

like, this is just too dangerous, and I I won't

45:16

be able to to keep doing this

45:17

forever. I don't

45:18

think it was an age where the where the danger will

45:20

affect me so much. I think it's more just where I'm out

45:22

in life. Like I said, if I if I do get married,

45:24

have kids, things like that. If there is a way for

45:26

me to sort of have a bigger impact, you

45:29

know, from a more of a managerial or high

45:31

level position, I'll I'll start to step

45:33

back a little bit. But yeah.

45:35

I know like, for example, I have no intention of continuing

45:37

to do this when I'm fifty. I'm not you know. Gotcha.

45:39

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm under no illusions

45:41

that my body will hold up that long. But in

45:43

the meantime, okay, we we do a lot of

45:45

training. We and there's tons of younger guys. A

45:47

lot of a lot of guys getting out of the military. We get guys hitting

45:50

us up every day on our on

45:53

our on our website saying, hey, but I'm gonna come volunteer. I'm

45:55

gonna work with you guys and that stuff. We don't we

45:57

don't take volunteers very, very rarely do we

45:59

take volunteers. But the point is is I

46:01

wanna get the organization to the point where we can

46:03

have a bunch of guys who were

46:05

on payroll and who were able to go do this full

46:07

time younger

46:08

guys, and they're able to to go to go

46:10

do this. Yeah. So besides Burma and

46:12

Ukraine, Where are some

46:14

other regions that you guys are helping out in

46:16

right

46:16

now?

46:16

So we well, we helped out a bunch in the Afghanistan

46:19

situation. Afghanistan withdrawal, of course, of

46:21

people pitching

46:21

you over there personally? No. No. I never went over

46:24

there personally. No. And we're

46:26

still helping out there little bit. We're we have a

46:28

few more families that we're helping

46:29

out, but then we're kind of we're kinda done

46:31

there. We actually just

46:33

started because it's over and and all those people

46:35

are out or done because you're out of resources

46:37

there and it's done because we simply don't

46:39

have the resources and now also the Taliban

46:41

is in charge. So if you try to start

46:43

doing anything over there, now you're dealing with this

46:46

weird you know, with this weird world of, like,

46:48

now you're working with a tall man to, like, do any kind

46:50

of humanitarian aid and stuff like that, our organization

46:52

is not nearly big enough to to be able

46:54

to navigate We don't have the Or negotiate

46:56

with the Taliban. Or negotiate with the Taliban?

46:58

Or, like, yeah, there's the so it's it's it's just

47:00

the situation's very much different. We have a few families,

47:03

like I said, fully committed to and we're gonna get them out.

47:05

But after that point, you know, the

47:07

the the huge, you know, billion dollar NGOs,

47:09

they, you know, they can they can get in there and

47:11

they have the resources to be able to to

47:14

to kinda deal with that. We

47:16

actually just started working in October. We

47:18

just started working in Africa, working

47:21

in the anti poaching world. So

47:23

we're not there to stop, like, poaching. What

47:25

we're there so again, our our focus is on

47:27

dealing with conflict zones. So the

47:30

conflict that we're helping out helping

47:32

people out in in in Africa is

47:35

with the the poaching wars. And it's not just poaching,

47:37

it's the conservation stuff. So

47:39

there's illegal mining and logging, and

47:41

and lot of it's backed by Chinese syndicates.

47:43

Mhmm. And so also with that, there's,

47:45

of course, drugs and human trafficking. And there's this it

47:47

it's it's all it's all one big mess -- Mhmm.

47:49

-- that can happen. And so we're

47:52

over there working with we just started

47:54

this we we're starting working with park

47:56

rangers and are helping them so

47:58

they can so they can make safe arrests,

48:00

so they can provide medical care not

48:02

only for themselves, but also for the communities

48:04

who live in these national parks. We're

48:06

actually creating a curriculum

48:09

right now that's specifically a medical training

48:11

curriculum that's specific for park rangers

48:13

because they're dealing with tactical situations, they're

48:15

dealing with vehicle accidents. They're dealing

48:17

with down helicopters. They're dealing with,

48:20

obviously, just animal

48:22

trauma. Actually, when we were there, I was just

48:25

in I was just in Mozambique in

48:27

October. And while we were there, we were running

48:29

a medical training class, you know, just

48:31

basic medical stuff. And then we got a call that one

48:33

of the Rangers had been attacked by a black rhino.

48:36

And so we had to I sent to I sent to my

48:38

guys and helicopter to go get eyes

48:40

on the guy and then myself in a South African

48:42

Tracker. We went in on on foot to

48:44

help, you know, get this guy out. The Ranger

48:46

ended up being okay. Okay. But that's

48:48

that's one of the places that starting to work now.

48:50

Yeah. Is is in Africa. So it's totally

48:52

new, totally new to us, but

48:55

a lot a lot of people over there need

48:57

help and it's a it's a good place to assist

48:59

as well. Gotcha. Yeah. It seems like

49:01

with everything going on in the world,

49:03

it would be difficult to cover this many

49:06

regions and territories and

49:08

help out with all this

49:09

shit. Yeah. I mean, there's so that's the thing. Like, there's

49:11

a never ending need at any any place

49:13

that we go to and then all the places that don't

49:15

go to. Right? There's so much there's so much need

49:17

that's out there. So but, again,

49:20

the fact that we are able to help in Burma and Ukraine

49:22

and Afghanistan and and Africa It's

49:24

all because we do have we have, like, an

49:26

ever growing group of, like, we call

49:28

micro donors or, like, it's sort of, like, crowd sourcing.

49:31

So we're nonprofit and we have all these people

49:33

who pitch in, like, a little bit every month.

49:35

People ask, well, what's the best way to help financially?

49:37

We just say, hey, why don't you give, you know, fifty cents a day.

49:39

Right? So it's like fifteen bucks a month. Like a

49:41

Netflix subscription kind of thing. And

49:44

that's what enables us to go out there and to

49:46

and to do all these things because we have thousands of people

49:49

who each just pitch in a little bit every month.

49:51

Because there is there is the need

49:53

in Africa. So we've we're only in

49:55

one country and there's we've already now that

49:57

we've helped in that one country, there's already three

49:59

countries that have asked for our help. Yeah.

50:01

Not to mention, we've got a a country

50:03

down, the Caribbean is asking for help. And

50:06

they might be asking which country this? Oh, it's it's

50:08

it's Haiti.

50:08

Oh, yeah. Yeah. We have some guys done in Haiti that

50:10

have been asking for

50:11

help. For years.

50:13

Dude, it is. And we were down there, I think, a year

50:15

and a half ago forget the exact timeline.

50:17

I think end of twenty twenty one, I wanna say

50:19

we were down there. Again, setting up the medical

50:22

stuff for the for the Haitian police, because those

50:24

guys are getting shot up all the time. They

50:27

have again, there's zero medical support

50:29

on on any of this stuff. And so

50:31

they don't know how to treat civilians who were getting

50:34

shot by the gangs. Obviously, you know, if you're

50:36

a Haitian police officer, you could call to a crime

50:38

scene, a woman's been raped

50:41

or someone's been attacked or

50:43

whatever. They had they don't know how to treat these

50:45

people. They don't know what to do because they don't have the training.

50:47

They're very poor. And but they're very

50:49

hardworking, very courageous, and they want to they

50:51

wanna help. So we we go in and try

50:53

to provide that service for free. Because if you try to bring

50:55

in, you know, a private military company or

50:58

something, it would be, you know, you have to pay everybody,

51:00

you

51:00

know, fifteen hundred bucks a day to

51:02

be there in these places and provide this kind of support.

51:04

Yeah. My father had been new Haiti

51:06

in the eighties a few times and --

51:08

Oh, really? -- he told me some stories later

51:10

in life when it was when it was older. And

51:13

I was like, how bad was it? And he goes, man, it's

51:15

in the eighties, it was fucking awful. So can't

51:18

like, it's been going on forever. But

51:20

he said, once you land, you pretty

51:22

much have to hire at least two to four

51:24

armed guards. They kinda go with

51:26

you everywhere. You go. Mhmm. And

51:29

any type of business or anything that goes

51:31

on there, you don't leave your hotel room.

51:34

Mhmm. You know, you get food to the room

51:36

and all that other shit. And I'm like, goddamn. Is

51:38

it that bad? Yeah. And that was the late

51:40

eighties. Yeah. And mean, if it hasn't

51:42

changed since the

51:43

eighties, like, Will it ever change?

51:45

This is why colonizing is

51:47

a good thing. I'm not I'm

51:50

not kidding. Like, you teach people fucking foundational

51:52

infrastructure and government. And then,

51:55

you know, we we have the ability now since

51:57

it's not Empire's doing it to do that and

51:59

then fuck

51:59

off.

52:00

Mhmm. You don't

52:00

have to stay there. And and occupy

52:02

the spot, but we haven't done shit for Haiti.

52:05

I think I think the Haitian government was actually just

52:07

asking for US military intervention

52:09

or is really, really? I think I think so. Or

52:11

they were about to officially ask for it or something. But,

52:13

yeah, the the the

52:16

Haitian government is right now, unfortunately,

52:19

is almost it's almost a failed

52:21

state. It's it's pretty much pretty much a failed state

52:23

you could argue if it is or if it isn't. Because

52:25

the gangs for the most part control

52:27

the vast majority of port Prince, which is the

52:29

main the main city there. Right. Yeah. So the gangs

52:32

the gangs really are the ones who are in control

52:35

and sort of have our sort of squeezing

52:37

the the government to death, sort of choking them off

52:39

at this point. But also the gangs don't really

52:41

want the governments go away because then they'll have to

52:44

then they'll have the the govern. And, yeah, then

52:46

that's they don't really wanna do that. So,

52:48

yeah, it's it's very, very chaotic situation.

52:50

And You know, we we wanna go to Haiti when

52:53

I help. We wanna go to help all these different places. The

52:55

issue is just is just a matter of being able to hire

52:57

enough guys to be able to go and do

52:58

it. And so that just comes

53:00

to, like, how much how much support do we have. Right? Like, we're

53:02

gonna we're gonna go put this this It

53:05

seems like it's endless.

53:07

Yeah. It really is. It really is endless.

53:09

But the thing is you know, what what I always

53:11

tell people when they ask, like, well, why do you why do you go

53:13

to these war zones? Like, wars never gonna end. And I'm like, yeah.

53:16

Well, like, you don't you don't fight a war to

53:18

end all war. You fight a war or

53:20

you go to these situations to purchase a limited amount

53:22

of freedom for a limited amount of people for limited

53:24

amount of time. And then you gotta go do it again. That's

53:26

just the way that it works. And your

53:28

job as a warrior, your job as a, you know,

53:31

a soldier, not that I am a soldier anymore,

53:33

but my job is to

53:36

to go there and basically just stand in the

53:38

gap. And if you have enough people standing in the gap,

53:40

you can build that wall to protect civilization

53:43

and, you know, to to greater

53:46

or lesser degrees, it's never gonna be perfect. But

53:48

if you just give up and you don't and you don't continue

53:50

helping, well then, yeah, the chaos chaos

53:53

will And just for what's happening a place

53:55

like Burma though, at some point, somebody's gonna have to go

53:57

there and kill these motherfuckers. Right?

53:58

Yeah. Yeah. The Burma government

54:00

for sure.

54:01

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. They they one hundred percent have

54:03

to go. It's it's it's a terrible amount

54:05

of money. Chasing Haiti, by the way. Haiti is just

54:07

a fit. There's plenty there's ton of good people down there.

54:09

Mhmm. They just don't know what the fuck they're doing. Mhmm.

54:11

So in the in in a

54:13

vacuum like that, especially with

54:16

standoff, with no with no real

54:18

physical border, I they're on hispaniola and

54:20

shit, but there's a pretty big mountain range between them and

54:22

the the Dominican and the Dominican watches that

54:24

mountain range pretty fucking closely -- Yeah.

54:26

-- keep those assholes out. It's

54:28

not that. They just need to be empowered

54:30

to learn how to run their own government. Yeah.

54:33

Berma needs kinetic warfare.

54:35

They need those motherfuckers have to die. At

54:38

some point.

54:38

Right? I mean, for for that situation to change,

54:40

that's that's how it's gotta be, but -- Mhmm. -- not

54:42

your job obviously, but Yeah. Well and

54:44

think also too that goes down to either

54:46

want to talk about American foreign policy.

54:49

You look at dude, if you just took, like,

54:51

ten Stenger missiles maybe, like, just like ten,

54:53

and you brought them into Burma, you have some agency

54:56

guys go in, you know, to to personally fire

54:58

them if you need to. Yeah. And knock out some of these

55:00

aircraft like in Berma because The

55:02

ground forces are actually able to take on the

55:04

Burmese, especially now over the last couple of years,

55:06

the wars really shifted. But the problem is

55:08

the Burmese still has air power. So they're calling in

55:10

fighter jets to do you know, strafing

55:12

and bombing runs on on the freedom

55:15

fighters and then also their bombing villages and all

55:17

that

55:17

stuff. So I mean, if you could just knock out a couple

55:19

of their aircraft that would totally change

55:21

the How

55:21

many aircraft do they have?

55:23

Oh, I don't know. I would say I would say dozens

55:25

though. It's in the dozens like

55:26

so. We weekend. So yesterday, that

55:28

would be pretty funny. It's one weekend. Yeah. No.

55:30

That's

55:31

what I'm saying. And you honestly, you don't even have to knock

55:33

them all out. You just didn't knock like, two or three of them, and then

55:35

they and then there would be too afraid to put them up in

55:37

the air anymore. What would be the the conflict

55:39

there? Would would

55:42

China is

55:42

China? Who would be pissed off by that if we ask?

55:44

Well, China's selling the government weapons, so

55:46

they might be mad that they're not selling it, but it's not it's

55:49

too Apparently, not too

55:50

bad. Armies are Yeah. So China, Russia,

55:52

they sell stuff to them. But it it's not gonna be

55:54

enough to really matter for their bank accounts

55:56

then. Mhmm. Like yeah. That's that's not

55:58

so much the issue. The issue is more the

56:01

border countries. So you've got, like,

56:03

India, Thailand, China, Laos.

56:05

They all border, Burma, to

56:08

lesser or greater degrees. So if you do wanna get

56:10

if you wanna have any kind of military intervention, you

56:12

have to go through those countries. Right? You have to

56:14

work with them. And so Is India gonna

56:17

approve American forces

56:19

going in there to cross their border illegally into

56:21

Burma? You know, we'll we'll tie Thailand,

56:23

allow that. We'll allow us, allow that I mean, Thailand might

56:25

be amenable to that sort of thing. There

56:28

we we do a lot of training with their special forces,

56:30

but I

56:30

don't know if they want a bunch of chaos

56:32

nearby. Yeah. Exactly. And and I and

56:35

I don't fully understand it well enough to

56:37

even, you know, know why they would or wouldn't

56:39

allow

56:40

that. Yeah. Certainly not Bangladesh,

56:43

because that's a terrorist state. Well,

56:46

that's gonna do

56:46

it. Not through not the government, but the Yeah.

56:49

Yeah. Yeah.

56:50

We'll tell people how they can find you and help

56:52

out there. Yeah. So if people want to help

56:54

support what we're doing, our website is strongholdrescue

56:57

dot org, and then our Instagram is you

56:59

know, at just at stronghold rescue. But

57:01

yeah. And if people want to support

57:03

financially, like I said, we we we do sort

57:05

of subscription model where just people give a little

57:07

bit every month and we do things a little

57:09

different too. So we we actually

57:12

limit the amount that people can give per month

57:14

to a dollar a day, so basically thirty dollars a

57:16

month. Because we have people who reach out to us and they say,

57:18

hey, you know, I've got a hundred dollars a month I wanna

57:20

give to to nonprofit organizations. And

57:23

so what we say is like, hey, that's great. Why don't you, you

57:25

know, you know, you can put send twenty our

57:27

way, but we want people to support other

57:29

organizations as well. So, hey, go give twenty bucks

57:31

a month to save our allies and go give twenty bucks a month

57:33

to whatever else that you that you, you know,

57:35

that you care about your local pet shelter, whatever.

57:37

Yeah. And so we want people to

57:40

we because we know that it's The

57:43

more the more things that you're involved in,

57:45

those causes become near to your heart,

57:48

and I think it leads to little

57:50

more happyness, little more little bit

57:52

better of

57:52

life. And so, yeah, people

57:54

wanna support us at strong home rescue

57:57

dot org. Okay. Yeah. Because they might

57:59

be sending you sending you to New York

58:01

next year. The

58:03

breaking news here, we got Oh, boy. What do we got?

58:05

What do we got? Trump said

58:07

he's gonna be rain next week, and

58:12

he's expected to be indicted tomorrow. Secret

58:14

service will make plans for his surrender

58:16

and appearance in a New York court. Last

58:19

week, it says thirty six

58:21

thousand. NYPD officers

58:24

are in uniform and on notice for

58:26

deployment. That's an interesting word to use

58:28

there after Trump called for his

58:31

supporters to protest. His

58:33

imminent indictment here. I

58:35

saw late last night that we're putting up setting

58:38

up barricades and all that stuff

58:39

Well, you can't fight it there. Yeah.

58:41

You can't move them out of the way and let people under the capital

58:43

unless you set them up first.

58:44

Right. What do you mean? So,

58:47

you know, it's

58:49

Yeah. You have to maintain appearances. Yeah.

58:51

Do you

58:51

follow any of the stuff overseas? Do you follow

58:53

what's going on here?

58:54

I'm I'm listening to

58:55

podcasts. Like, how does that work? Yeah. Do I do

58:57

a little bit, but I find the more more

59:00

that I'm at. The more that I'm overseas, the

59:02

less the less I pay attention to stuff

59:04

I I do get caught up on

59:05

everything, so I've been I have been tracking that this

59:07

this whole thing with Trump. Well,

59:08

it seems like our people got interesting. It's about to collapse,

59:11

so that's good. Because

59:12

our political justice sucks.

59:13

Yeah. We could be on the verge of

59:16

something like what you're dealing with.

59:17

No. No. No. That's not. We would just

59:19

Let's not do that. We know to convert

59:21

to local control. That's the way our system will

59:23

govern setup.

59:24

I'd like to see that. I'd like to be king here.

59:26

You know? I like to be king of I will No. You're still

59:28

gonna give

59:29

you my first vote. Not that you want votes. As No.

59:31

I do. But I know I just still want your vote.

59:33

I don't know because A democratically

59:35

elected

59:35

king would be interesting.

59:36

Wouldn't it? Like it's Yeah. That that might

59:38

be interesting. I like I I've

59:41

said this for years now. For the

59:43

half decade, I've been doing this. But

59:45

I like the idea of a benevolent

59:46

dictator. Mhmm. And I actually was thinking about

59:48

it. I got really high last night. So these

59:50

things should be

59:51

pretty good. Was that new? Or was that the first time? Or

59:54

It's my first time, you know. But

59:56

I was thinking about more

59:58

like the Norse tradition

1:00:01

of a warrior chieftain of some

1:00:03

sort but you're limited instead of having

1:00:05

term limits on the on the office,

1:00:07

you're limited by age. Right? Yeah. So

1:00:09

between thirty and fifty,

1:00:11

you can serve in that capacity. And then if fifty

1:00:13

you retire, but every retired warrior team

1:00:16

sits on an advisory board.

1:00:17

Right? Okay. Mhmm. Essentially, to

1:00:20

advise the the king. I think that's a good

1:00:23

idea.

1:00:23

That's not bad. Like, honestly,

1:00:25

Peter, like, oh, what about fucking voting and democracy?

1:00:27

I'm like, alright. Cool, man. Look, it's it's not

1:00:29

really doing really well to have a

1:00:31

popularity contest to decide who gets to

1:00:33

the fucking robbing you of your tax dollars. Mhmm.

1:00:36

I just don't like, I I'm I'm very romantic

1:00:38

about

1:00:41

the the core concepts of America, like

1:00:44

individual liberty and shit, obviously.

1:00:46

Mhmm. Are the most important things or is

1:00:48

the most important thing to me, but

1:00:50

we're not really achieving it through allowing

1:00:55

a bunch of people to vote your rights

1:00:57

away from you whenever they feel like it. Even if

1:00:59

it's through a second

1:01:00

party, meaning an elected official, Yeah.

1:01:02

It just doesn't seem like this is working out really well.

1:01:05

Yeah.

1:01:05

Well, no. And let's let's get

1:01:07

worse by the day. Yeah. I forget I forget

1:01:09

which bounding father was. I wanna say Madison, but he

1:01:11

said, he had some quote. I'm gonna butcher it. But he said,

1:01:14

basically, our system of government is

1:01:16

designed for a moral and religious people and

1:01:18

is wholly inadequate to the governance of that of

1:01:20

anything else. And he's

1:01:22

like, human human passions

1:01:24

unbridled will break through our constitution,

1:01:27

like a whale through a net, something like that. So,

1:01:29

yeah, I mean, as as a society, as as

1:01:31

individuals devolve and start to make

1:01:33

worse and worse decisions, democracy

1:01:36

stops working because democracy is

1:01:38

dependent. A strong democracy is is dependent

1:01:41

on strong individuals, to your point, is dependent

1:01:43

on strong individuals who understand what they're voting on,

1:01:45

who understand the issues and are also willing

1:01:47

to you know, if they lose,

1:01:49

are willing to go along with,

1:01:51

you know, are are willing to go along peacefully

1:01:54

with the other side until the next time that

1:01:56

they can

1:01:56

vote. And then they could always always go along

1:01:58

peacefully, but wait till the next election

1:02:00

if you got an issue.

1:02:01

Yeah. That's not a very resilient system

1:02:03

of government. What is it?

1:02:06

Ours. The one you just described is

1:02:08

entirely reliant on people being reasonable.

1:02:10

Yeah. Mass. At the level. It's not

1:02:13

scalable. Right? Mhmm. Although, I don't think any

1:02:15

system of government

1:02:16

scalable. That's why we

1:02:17

Oh, yeah. That's right. Humans. Yeah. We

1:02:19

intentionally tried to keep government small here at

1:02:21

the beginning.

1:02:21

Yeah. Yeah. Because

1:02:22

we were like, yeah.

1:02:24

Right. So what's

1:02:24

that phrase? Power corrupts ultimate

1:02:26

power corrupts alternate apps. Yep. Absolutely.

1:02:29

Yeah. So,

1:02:29

yeah, That's pretty obvious. But maybe maybe

1:02:32

we don't do that. Yeah. So that fucking

1:02:34

big piece of land that I'm gonna buy --

1:02:35

Yeah. --

1:02:36

where all of you are welcome to come hang out. I'm

1:02:38

the king of that land.

1:02:39

You're gonna are you wearing a crown, though?

1:02:41

No. They're not. Mhmm.

1:02:42

That's interesting. His his his beard is his crown.

1:02:44

Yeah. Well, it is and it isn't. I

1:02:47

saw a photo, and I don't know, Delco,

1:02:49

if you wanna bring that up. Delco was

1:02:51

at a rent fair over the weekend with

1:02:53

Georgios. If you can pop up the pick

1:02:55

of of Delco there.

1:02:58

This looks

1:02:58

fun. When he was a he he was a

1:03:01

Catholic in that. Oh, and

1:03:03

this oh, yes. It was a Nightstand. Was that

1:03:04

what? It was a crusade there. Yeah. I'm

1:03:06

following up on screen. Georgia was a peasant.

1:03:08

Oh, wow.

1:03:09

So you can see Delco right there. He's on his way

1:03:11

to murder a bunch of people.

1:03:12

That looks fine. Yeah, then let's make

1:03:15

couple of stops and fucking Germany and France

1:03:18

on the way back to rob those

1:03:19

assholes. Yeah. Is that why you did it? It's because

1:03:21

you are Catholic. I had cats. Like that. Yeah. So

1:03:23

but but you picked out that particular outfit because

1:03:25

of

1:03:25

it. Well, it's iconic. That's an iconic look. It's a

1:03:27

fucking

1:03:28

crusade.

1:03:28

It's a great look. Then that's what I would have based

1:03:30

it on

1:03:31

that. Richard, the lionheart, are you kidding

1:03:33

me?

1:03:33

No. I

1:03:33

would have I would have based it on my on the look on

1:03:36

the religion. To to be fair on his way back to the

1:03:38

secret crusade, he was trying to steal some shit

1:03:40

from a fucking French castle and got shot

1:03:42

through the fucking neck of an arrow. That's

1:03:44

gonna He could have just came home. He could have then

1:03:46

we got king John who was a total cunt.

1:03:48

Yeah. But we did get the Robinhood story

1:03:50

out of

1:03:50

that. We

1:03:51

did which is nice. Which is nice. I got you. See, Kevin

1:03:53

Coster's ass. No.

1:03:54

No. The best the best Robinhood is

1:03:56

the one with Who's that

1:03:58

guy that throws chairs and shit of people and

1:04:00

telephones? Not

1:04:03

a hero. Russell Crowe. Russell Crowe. Russell Crowe.

1:04:05

Russell Crowe movie is the best one

1:04:07

ever. Yeah. That was good. So fucking glad to see

1:04:09

that. Yeah. What are you gonna say, Bob? Yeah. Obviously, you say,

1:04:11

people don't know this, but the the

1:04:13

templar outfit designed by Hugo

1:04:15

Boss. No shit. Oh, shit. We did the

1:04:17

Nazis too. Oh, yeah. Fucking Hugo Boss

1:04:19

is that point with the health dude. And I said, look, if

1:04:21

I'm gonna start some really really good

1:04:23

I guess, genocidal group.

1:04:26

Yeah. I definitely wanna hear a boss from

1:04:28

there to go.

1:04:29

Yeah. You

1:04:29

guys have an outfits on the farm. What are you gonna

1:04:31

do there? Mhmm. You can wear a you can wear and do

1:04:33

whatever you want as long as you do your job.

1:04:35

Okay. Right? Alright.

1:04:36

Like pick up trash

1:04:39

or farm or whatever the fuck.

1:04:41

I'm building a common But nobody's I said something

1:04:43

saying, but nobody's nobody's

1:04:45

wearing the same outfits and she doesn't like having skin

1:04:47

where you're all

1:04:47

wearing. Right. Just checking.

1:04:49

If if somebody wants to have a cult,

1:04:52

that's is they're right to do that. Alright.

1:04:54

So is there a portion of the land that's gonna

1:04:56

be designated for a sex cult?

1:04:59

I I would say if you're gonna make it a

1:05:01

sex cult, it's all the land.

1:05:03

Okay.

1:05:03

Alright. Right? And you just

1:05:04

want it out in the open and and, hey, you

1:05:06

know, enjoy your stuff. Although, as I've

1:05:08

stated, I need four walls in

1:05:10

a roof.

1:05:11

Oh, obviously. To not Yeah. It's count.

1:05:14

It's to count. There was a movie

1:05:17

there was a movie about a commune a few years

1:05:19

ago that came out that I really

1:05:20

liked. It was

1:05:21

-- Judge. -- no. It was Jennifer

1:05:23

Paul Rudd. Do you remember the name of this, Bob?

1:05:25

What? It was a comedy. The guys from

1:05:28

White Out Americans Wonderful. -- that's it.

1:05:30

So it could be like that. Mail

1:05:32

had shores and then they all fucked each other

1:05:34

and yeah. Very similar

1:05:37

to

1:05:37

that, but they weren't wearing the same mouth so I understand

1:05:39

it. Well, these the people that live

1:05:41

on my land are gonna be required

1:05:43

to do quite a bit of

1:05:45

training. Right? Because I expect

1:05:47

there's a fight coming at some point. So -- Mhmm.

1:05:49

-- you never have to be there's I

1:05:51

it's basically just the old god,

1:05:54

I can't remember what the the pre biblical reference

1:05:56

to it

1:05:56

is, but it's referencing the bible too. It's basically,

1:05:59

if you don't work, you don't

1:06:00

eat. Right? Yeah.

1:06:01

And in this case, work means defending our

1:06:03

territory against everybody else.

1:06:04

Okay. Are you gonna expand? No.

1:06:07

You're not gonna expand? Oh, okay. No. But I want

1:06:09

to keep small. But I will do twelve

1:06:11

part course on the Internet to teach other people

1:06:13

how to do

1:06:14

it. Yeah.

1:06:15

It's gonna be a master class on Facebook.

1:06:17

Perfect. Perfect. No. For real, I I

1:06:19

have thought about that. No. I would not expand it. Don't

1:06:21

think that's appropriate. I I will

1:06:23

purchase I mean, if I wanna purchase more land and

1:06:25

I'm capable of purchasing more land, I'll do that. Mhmm.

1:06:27

And I'm not gonna, like,

1:06:29

violently expand. I don't think that's ever appropriate.

1:06:31

What's the limit on humans on this land?

1:06:34

I don't know. It depends on what I buy, I guess.

1:06:36

Okay. Because I don't know if you had an exact

1:06:38

number in mind. That would

1:06:40

be too heartache control.

1:06:41

I would have to I would have to talk to

1:06:43

my buddy who runs game

1:06:46

for us to see, like,

1:06:48

how much the land can provide

1:06:50

for people. Okay. That would be the answer

1:06:52

to that

1:06:52

question. Alright. Because I I don't wanna have to

1:06:54

go anywhere else for water or food.

1:06:56

Okay. Makes sense. Yeah. Makes sense.

1:06:59

That's fair. At from now, the part of the show, we

1:07:01

get to the Drinkin of the week. Obviously,

1:07:03

you've done this before, so don't do the same

1:07:05

one. Who would you like to give the Drinkin the week to?

1:07:07

Oh, man. I don't remember who I did last time.

1:07:09

I don't remember. Actually, you know what? So I've got two

1:07:12

two drinking bros. I gotta I gotta do

1:07:14

two. So -- Sure. -- on the slash Drinkin of

1:07:16

Berma, two of the guys on my team, Adam

1:07:18

and Jason, they went and lived

1:07:20

in the jungle and did an

1:07:22

insane amount of work getting these jungle

1:07:24

ambulances set up. And, you

1:07:26

know, risking air strikes and

1:07:28

risking all that and being

1:07:31

out there and had great attitudes the whole time

1:07:33

and we're happy to do it. And so, yeah,

1:07:35

those dudes are definitely the the drinking bros

1:07:37

of the week in my book. And, yeah, they deserve all the credit

1:07:39

because I'm just one dude I can only do a little

1:07:41

bit. But with those guys, it's like we can ten x everything

1:07:44

that we do. They just work work their butts off

1:07:46

and --

1:07:46

Yeah. --

1:07:46

through the best. That's fucking awesome.

1:07:48

Yeah. We've also got a listener here in the studio.

1:07:50

1:07:52

brew weekend? Yeah. Come

1:08:25

bit moves. You can go all the way up. There you go. There you

1:08:29

us, all the shit you see

1:08:31

here, the buildings and and everything else. The

1:08:33

only reason why we're able to do this is because
