I'm your host, Phil Raveley Andrew Nicker on the other side of the mic, and here's your show. Welcome back to the Matter of Facts Podcasts. Due to popular demand, mostly from one very insistent patron and then several our patrons that joined in the digital dogpile, we have set aside almost this entire evening to see if Nick can screw a phil rant out of me. Now, for those of you who are relatively new to the show, a phil rant is one of those moments in time where my temporal boils over. I justify every government watch list I'm on. I usually mix David says, stop just shy of the statutal limitations for getting me in serious trouble, and I'm guaranteed to piss off every single politician, about half a law enforcement, most federal employees and federal agents. I will basically start running my mouth and really piss people off, but some people find that shit entertaining. So you know, we'll see how this rolls. Yes, we will, But Phil's got a wee mini topic in here. First. I do have a wee mini topic. But first we have to acknowledge the people that are listening, and we have to do admin work, as if we don't, we will forget. And then I can't distract you from admin work in a bid to upset you. No, because I'm gonna do the admin work on the front end before the whiskey starts flowing. All right, So I see Jim Rows, I see Raggle Fraggle. I think Gilrab might actually still be lingering around. She jumped in before these streams started and offered nick like any help he needs, and pushing my buttons because after twenty one years together, she knows exactly what pisses me off. Real bad marriage, old enough to buy a cake. Well, I mean consider it for the consider like this, y'all can opt in or opt out of hearing me rant about stuff that annoys me. Once a week she gets to live with me, So you know, everything I'm going to complain about tonight, she's probably heard at length through the walls potentially. Yeah, quite literally through the walls sometimes. Yeah, all right, Adman, work real quick pitter patter, get at her promote bad decisions by becoming a patron. If you become a patron, you could be one of the sociopaths that put me a nick up to this episode. Otherwise she could buy merch for the vibes from the Southern Gals, cool t shirts, funny stuff links in the show description. And if you'd like to prevent war crimes or invent new ones, you should do it with Disaster Coffee Coat and bof get you five percent off of your purchase. And if you don't use a promo code, I'll yell at you unless you're subscribing, in which case I'll forgive you. Although well, in which case you will yell at me three times yeah and then catch on. Although it is worth pointing out like we on the Disaster Coffee team are having a discussion right now about potentially doing away with the subscriptions because like there just hasn't been a lot of up to uptake of them, like amongst our customer base. We need the three of us boys are gonna sit down and look at it and make it make an adult decision. But if we do decide to get rid of the subscriptions for anybody that applies to we will reach out and quite frankly, you could use the code M well if and get the exact same discount. It just won't be automated. Yeah, then I just have to remember to buy coffee before I'm damn near out of coffee, because it takes a hot minute to get that coffee here from calling. Yeah. Well, the thing of it is, you have to bear in mind about disaster. Coffee is like it is small boat, small batch roasted to order, so unlike anything you're gonna buy in the store, sheelf that's been sitting there just waiting for you. Like when you order the next day, the roaster gets the order and the roaster starts roaster stuff and he lovingly packages it and ships it across the country to you. So one hundred percent of the time it takes for you to get your coffee is because they don't start making it till you order it. And you know, I get it. It is really good coffee, I will, I will say, though my mailman does not lovingly apply it to the box. Though he just sort of crams that shit in the box as hard as possible. I've had a hard time getting it out of the box on more than one occasion. I should probably stop ordering three pounds at a time. You should order five pounds, because then it'll be too big to fit in the box. Buddy, he's got a good stuff in arm on him. He's put some stuff in that mailbox I did not think would fit. Be honest with you, my mailman is a very old a very skinny older man who's got to be close to retirement. And I always feel bad when I order bullets because you know, the reloading component companies, they love to see how much crap they can cram into those, like those flat rate boxes. And you'd be shocked how fast the weight adds up when it's all lead. So yeah, yeah, I uh. When I used to live in town, I had the same FedEx guy and the same UPS guys every time. The UPS man when I took up casting fishing lures, got really upset with me because I was buying one hundred pounds of lead out of crack. Yeah, my really have It doesn't evolve one hundred pounds at a time, but that is quite entertaining to see the mailman bring a shoe a shoebox size size. Spot, Oh yeah, and all he could carry. And then this says warning heavy and the net was like thirty six pounds. Neighbors, One time they were collecting our mail force while we were out and I had forgotten to mention I ordered a box of bullets. So, of course, him being the dutiful neighbor like, he came over to cat sid he went to pick up the box and almost dropped it on his freaking foot because he was totally unprepared. So then he asked me nonchalantly when we get back, like, what in the hell was in that heavy box? And that's when the conversation started. Bullets, bullets, bullets, lots? What did you order bricks? Bricks a lead? Yes? Why would you order bricks a lead because they come in small quantities that are roughly conical and bullet shaped. Yeah. Well, you know the nice thing is is the the one pound ingots that everybody casts are led into. They fit really perfectly in US Pulsal Service flat rate boxes. And it's still seven bucks to ship that whole box. Yeah, we definitely get our money's worth that of a flat rate box. But as we have discovered, if you take a US Postal Service medium flat rate box and fill it full of pistol brass, you better just tape the bun Jesus out of that because it comes out of basketball by the time it gets to Illinois from Texas. Yeah, Stuart, Stuart sent me my box of five five six brass, of which half of it has been processed. Yeah, I have not. I cannot say the same. I still have. Well, that cardboard box behind me next to the drill press is all full of sordid nine mil It needs to run through the hopper and be deprimed and cleaned. Yeah, it's just it's it's a process, all right, Rachel's saying. I meant we have to Oh, there was a comment ahead of that. We have to be adults and remember to make coffee a slash order coffee. I mean, if you don't, then your husband will stop acting like an adult. Well, I'd probably act like a more irritable adult. So you're you're you are still on the recreational end of the coffee habit, not the habitual end. Oh, it's it's definitely a habit. It's definitely there's a caffeine addiction in there, but I think it's more of like a self medicating at this point than an actual energy boost, because I mean I don't stay awake when I drink coffee. In fact, I can have a couple of coffee and then go take a nash same But I don't know it makes my brain run better. Ah right, Doctor scary guy said he's starting off at two times to catch up. You are going to sound real slow and drunk in a couple of minutes. That's that's fair, because I'm going to be very slow and drunk in a couple of minutes. One can only help and Jeff. Jay catch up on all old episodes. I'm assuming he's talking about the one that we were debating whether I change up my optic on my ar. Oh yeah, yeah, he said, the correct answer is three to twelve or three to fifteen. I might actually have an opportunity unity the next week to stretch the legs on that one to six. I can have you putting headshots with that one to six on one power at three hundred yards. It's not difficult. I mean I was a young, dumb private hitting like you know, sheet of paper sized targets of three hundred yards with iron sights. So yeah, it's certainly doable. It's it's not only doable, it's it's trivially easy. I one of the fun things I would do every time I took a new person out to the prior range, I used to go to the head of three hundred yard rifle range as their main range. What's the first thing I would do is I'd have them hitting targets a three hundred yards. I tell them, Okay, here's what you're gonna do. Here's your hold, here's your wind call, talk them through how to do it. First round smokes the headshot on a target. Yeah, that's really what I want to do. I've got two hundred rounds loaded of that seventy seven Grand Match King, plus I think five twenty round magazines that are also loaded, so I'll be bringing three hundred rounds of that that specific load that I'd like to test, mostly because I just want to see what the drop is at range and frankly spent some time shooting it because would be I only I'm gonna use a blist calculator to figure out like kind of roughly, but what I really want to do is know what those subtensions in my radical equate to add two hundred to three hundred yards. So on on my twenty inch with a fifty five grain if you held let's see, it was a twoma dot I think, and then a six moa ring and then a thirty moa ring. And if you held the two moa dot at the top of a one third scale IPsec had, you would hit a dead center at three hundred yards from a from a twenty five to fifty zero. Yeah, no, I know, doctor scary guy's being sarcastic, saying the news told me only a sniper can make one hundred and fifty one hundred and fifty yard shot on a target the size of one human. I'm the furthest thing from a sniper, and I can put four rounds cloverleafing together at one hundred yards. And I'm not that good of a shot. You can take a rack grade like ten twenty two and make three hundred yard head shots with laughable ease. You can do it just as well with a nine millimeter handgun. It's not difficult. Mitchell Act did it at a thousand with a three fifty seven. I think it was, so, I mean, it's it's not that you have to be a sniper. It's that you just have to be not wildly inept and have the basic ability to follow instructions. Not wildly inp sounds like a reach for some people. Though, yeah, but it's really not. Though. All you have to do is sit there, shut up, and pull the trigger when you're told to. I mean it fair. We have to we have to get to topics or you're not gonna have time to get a rant out of me. That's true unless I distract you long enough that we never get to any of the topics and thereby upset. You don't play that game. So many many topic on the front. How to speak MOF. So there's a couple of sayings here that Nick and I have on occasion used, and I find them hilarious. So I thought that Moore recounting for those of you who don't speak MOF fluently. So starting off with French carpentry, which, by the way, Chris, get on that I want a T shirt about French carpentry, And why do we want a T shirt about French carpentry. Because it's referencing guillotines. French carpentry is the absolute best way to scare the hell out of tyrants everywhere. Also a very spicy way to reformulate your government at three or four times in a row. Yeah. I mean, you know, you say what you will about the French and their socialist proclivities in modern era, but there was a time when those people were a little. Nuts well yeah, I mean, to be fair, they were coming out of the Little Ice Age into the Industrial Revolution and they had a massive food crisis due to weather related events that kind of kicked that off. It didn't help that they got conned into fighting World War One and basically shredding an entire generation in the meek grinder. Yeah, but arguably two generations. Yeah, because they're going You have to remember the initial the initial groupings of French soldiers weren't eight seventeen and eighteen year olds. They were long term service legionnaires that were career officers. And most of the French career officers were dead by what nineteen thirteen, Yeah, like almost all of them except for the generals I think at the time. So, like you think about it this way, back in the day in France, you didn't get to be an officer if you were not a noble or at least fairly wealthy, you kind of you didn't have to buy your way into officer, into officer status, but it was very expensive to buy the things that were required to be an officer, the uniforms, the medals. You had to keep servants, you had to keep certain courses, You had to keep a variety of very expensive things, and you had to attend a higher education of some kind. You could not become an officer in the French military prior to World War One, I believe, except for field commissions, without having attended a university of some kind. I believe that was the way. I know. There were a few exceptions for the upper nobility, and like for the what at the time existed, the minor landed gentry could get their children into officers billets and they would then pay a little bit of money to buy them an officer's commission. But well, you know, it turns out when you have half of your officers leading an infantry charge into an entrenched machine gun position over an open field, over and over and over again, the attrition is shockingly high among the officer corps, very much so so. I mean you had, you had French aristocratic families that essentially went from having twenty or thirty male descendants and being fairly well off to having no male descendants left, and the line just sort of ending in between in between and shortly after the two World wars mm. And then there's that whole business during World War Two where they were actively rounding up French nobility and military veterans because they thought no might cause us trouble. I mean, they did, they did, but it's an open ended question, but it's an open question of like how much of the fresh and French resistance was stoked by the effort to stamp out the French resistance? Well, and it. Becomes a self fulfilling prophecy to certain point. Exactly. It's just like the Taliban in Afghanistan and the what was left of the Iraqi Guard. Yeah, except that except that the Nazis didn't actively fund the French resistance well slight difference, true, true, or train them. And equip them and yeah. Yeah all that anyway. Pedo shredder You know what ader is woodshippers? Why do I call them peto shredders because that is what they should be called. It fertilizes the lawn. Yes, it also it also reduces the recidivism rate to zero. That's true. It is often hard to commit crimes when you are turned into thousands of tiny bits. This is true. Now Here's why it doesn't come up very often. Guy Fox masks. A V for Vendetta. You don't really care about Parliament. No, it don't. I'm going to tell you that v for Vendetta is such a critically underappreciated movie. It is. It is so thought provoking in so many wonderful ways. It's the problem you get is the Internet weirdos that take it the entirely opposite direction, the pro status direction that I see a lot on Reddit. Wait a second, and wait, wait, this might be the first film ram Nick explain to me as if I'm mentally retarded, How on earth you look at Viva Vendetta and go hooray for the state? Explain that to me like I've learned. Their argument is. Their argument is that by allowing extremists of any position the ability to get on the ballot, you are risking a government situation like occurs in V for Vendetta. So their argument is if you instead of allowing free and fair elections. You pick and choose and cherry pick the potential people for the ballot. You can avoid the entire movie from the ground up. Because that's never worked out poorly before it human history has it. You have to be a phenomenally you have to be an incredibly stupid, short sighted, mouth breeding, cousin banging idiot to think that the solution to authoritarian government is authoritarian selection of authoritarian government. No, they want the two parties at the top to select the people that will go on the ballot, on every single ballot. So this is like two party communism. Correct. Yes, they would like to party communism, except anybody on the right that does not also espouse leftist values as barred from the ballot. I said, explained to me like I had it, like I had a learning disability, not like my family tree is vine. Look, there's only so intelligent you can phrase this argument because it's not an intelligent argument. Yes, it's a very intelligent argument. It's on the same level as the best way to protect your virginity is by having as much sex as possible. Look, the poopole is a loophole. We all know that. We've heard the song oh Jesus Christ. But their argument is there would be no need for V. There would be no need for V if we didn't allow Trump on the ballot. There would also be no need for V if the state was terrified of the people and respected their ability to upturn the government at any time. As George and Tommy and all of our forefathers said. So that's true. Just you know, you have to remember, these are the same people that were arguing for healthy, non immunal compromised individuals to lock themselves in their home for years on end. Some of them the exact same users. Because your user history doesn't go away even if you make it private Reddit, it's still searchable on Google. All you got to do is type in their username and all their comments show back up. Turns out these are the exact same people that are arguing for snitching on their neighbors for having more than three people in their home. Okay, moving on, be for Vendetta critically underappreciated. If anyone ever tries to tell you that the solution to authoritarianism is more authoritarianism, you've probably woken up in the twilight zone, or you need to reevaluate the relationships you keep around. You, or they have an IQ of a ground temperature potato. Hence, you need to reevaluate the relationships you keep around you. Because I am the firmest believer of it's hard to soar like an eagle when you hang out with dodo birds. That's true. So all right, Canadian war crimes were the best war crimes, doing the best big bad in war. Yep, doing bad bad is Canadian war crimes. If you hear me refer to something as a Canadian war crime, I'm talking about doing really bad things. Most most of the Geneva Conventions one and two, and several of the addendums. Do not apply to civilians. Well number one, they do not apply to civilians. They do not apply to non state actors, but a lot of them are there because of Canadians in World War One. We really need an episode on Canadian war crimes. You know what, That sounds like a great after after vacation podcast. We can bring up some Canadian war crimes. I mean, the Germans tried to get shotguns declared a war crime right about the same time as they were going all happy with the mustard and Fosterian gas. Well, okay, but in defense of the Germans, and I hate to do this. I've seen what happens when you up eight twelve gate shells on something in rapid succession. It looks like a war crime. I mean, how is a pound or so of lead or half a pound of lead any different than at half pound hand grenade? Really? I mean, what, how is it worse that it comes out of out of a shotgun? Hold up, you're talking to the guy who knows enough military history to say that if you're if you're a little annoyed because I dropped a half pound of lead in your lap, but you're not, We're not gonna have a discussion about the friggin that they the artillery shells are raining down on us morning, noon and night for weeks on end. I'm sorry. The Germans were just sad we thought of shotguns first. I mean, wonderbusses has been around forever. They had plenty of back opportunity they did. They were just nerds. They made the choice to go with flamethrowers and fashien gas. Which, all, right, flame throwers, great idea, not gonna lie, amazingly effective. Doctor scary guys saying unrelated But I think it is related. His grandma's funeral was probably one of the most illegal attendant in armed funerals in the entire Covid era. And I hope your grandmother was smiling on you from heaven my. Side, Ragle, We're gonna have a whole. Episode about what the Canadians did, but now it's not the time for that. It was it got rough, all right, last one. Hoodrat shit m hm. Doing the bad bad out of uniform. Hoodrat shit is just like Canadian war crimes, but being sneaky while doing it. So see Canadian war crimes is like hello, I'm here to raise hell, and hoodrat shit is. Don't talk about what we're about to do. Buddy. I need you to get in the van and not ask any questions, yep. I need you to bring your plate carrier, your rifle, your AMMO, and an open mind. And a real, real poor memory. Really good alibis, really good, alibis. Honestly, Jeff No, I cannot blame the Germans for trying to nerve them metal. What I can blame them for is being sore losers. Oh yeah, speaking of the Germans, Phil, speaking of the Germans, did you see the latest press relief release from the German government. Is this where you make me lose my shed starts? This actually might be amusing to you. All Right, the Germans done. Now, the Germans have stated openly that they they're going to begin to re arm. They are going to have the strongest European military by twenty thirty four, I believe was the goal. So we have a land war in Asia, we have a land war in Asia. We are coming off of a pandemic. We have a pending food crisis in the Middle East, and Africa economic crisis. That's like, we're really clear and it's throwing the raide starts singing. We have a potential economic crisis on the back of what was a prior economic crisis. Not potential, it's coming, I do think. So. I'm not an economist, but. I'm not bold enough to say I know when it's gonna happen. But it's coming, like the writing's on the wall. We have the land mass of Europe starting to get real upset about particular groups of people again, and we've got Germany rearming to the highest level since World War Two. And yet in spite of all that, as long as they don't elect like a failed art student. I'm not upset with them because, like you and I've had this conversation about like, how freaking stupid and short sight I think it is to expect that you can abrogate your responsibility to protect your nation to another nation aka the United States, NATO, the you in and all that shit. Essentially all of Europe since nineteen forty five. Yeah, yeah, so I wholeheardly believe that all of Europe should finally embrace the fact that you fuckers have free healthcare and that's not defending your boards. Very well, we don't, and we can bomb the entire world in ash twiss Over. Maybe, just maybe the dim winded Americans were right this time. Well, I mean, I don't know. I don't know if like having Germany rearmed to World War two levels is a great call, especially when nationalist politicians are starting to pull really well in Germany compared to how they have in the last seventy years. But hear me out, I disagree for one reason. Okay, when you have a very large, very angry, very heavy Okay, Nick, you live in a house, right yep, and in Minecraft you have a reasonable number of perfectly state legal firearms. Sure, yeah, okay, for the purpose of protecting your home. Right now, if let's say your neighbors suddenly started, like you know, running barber around the property and inviting a bunch of the friends over and getting lots and lots of guns, and they started. Pulling happens to be right over there looking like they're going to be threatening towards your home. Wouldn't you invite some friends over and tell them bring your guns too, so we can arm up in case the neighbor starts acting crazy. Yeah. Probably, I mean, it's not out of line. No, I get where you're at. I mean, Russia's acting a fool right now and invading countries. But Russia's never stopped. That's what I'm saying. Russia's never stopped acting a fool. The only thing that put a damper on their acting of a fool was the fact that they were economically demolished in their attempt to keep up with us in an arms race. Are they better now. Better than they were in nineteen ninety two? Moderately, I don't know about that, But okay for number wise, but. Hear me out. The one thing that Russia can do at the drop of the hat. Now, I think you'd have to have officers in the back of the machine guns to encourage the conscripts to go that direction. That is allegedly what's going on in Ukraine. That that's exactly what's going on in Ukraine. That's kind of standard issue, you know, Soviet tactic. This goes all the way back to World War One and World War Two. It's a known quantity, but. They can take an enormous popular population and arm it with shit they've been burying in the snow for freaking forty years. They It's not about the fact that their military is so amazing or their equipment is so well maintained. It's fact that, like, oh, who is it that said that quantity has a quality all of its own? I don't. It's a famous quote. I can't. I'm not attributed correctly to who it belongs to. But the point remains, they can put up a lot of frigging firepower up against the border, and even even if every German kills one hundred Russians coming across the border, you're still going to get steamrolled. So yes, I hardily believe that Germany and Poland and France and all these nations need to pull their panties out of their butt and arm up so they can protect their citizens. Yeah, and if that means World War II levels of armament, then so be it, because you you don't have How many times have I said that when there's a violent incident, you are the first spotor you don't get a choice in the matter anymore. That's true. So in this situation, you don't get a say in whether or not your war. If your neighbor comes over your border, you're now at war, whether you like it or not. You get to decide. Hey, you respond. Jeff claims that quote is attribute often attributed to Napoleon. I am not certain about that. I thought it was a Southeast Asian military leader, but that also could be a misattribution. It's really killed me that I can remember these quotes, but I can I cannot remember who they belong to. Joseph Stalin. Joseph Stalin, that makes sense, Raglefrangle. This didn't happen in Oregon. This happened in Washington. Hmmm. Army ranger moved into a really bad neighborhood and the local bangers and dealers started some crap with him and he's called the police on him. They came over and said they were going to kill him that night, and he invited a bunch of his SF buddies over and said, hey, bring your rifles with you. Imagine going up to a ranger and saying, hey, Bud, I'm going to kill you later. Bet all right, Yeah, I'm playing odds on the guys. We've told this story on this show. What happened was that night when all the local gang bangers and dealers showed up to put the hurt on this one ranger. It got so bad that the dealers were calling the police themselves. I forgot about that. And then the police took the rangers into into custody and tried to charge them with like premeditated murder and all this other crap because like, obviously you're sitting in the house, you know, with all these guns, you were looking for a fight. They successfully argue that, like, we were literally sitting in our house after we had a couple of beer beers in a barbecue. These dudes showed it to our front door trying to kill us. What are we doing here? Turns out rangers beat gang bangers. Who would have thought it turns out that a whole bunch of beer fuel hilled army guys probably something you should just leave them alone to sleep it off. Look, this is this is the perfect example right here of tactics versus volume. Look, yes, can you overwhelm quantity or quality with quantity? Yes, eventually there are just not enough bodies and bullets. But until you hit that point, you run into what is it? What is the number phill a. In trench the assaulted entrenched position. Yeah, it's like four or six to one on average. You need attacking versus defending it. It really does vary a lot, but three to four to one is like the commonly accepted. Starting in a in a peer peer conflict. Yeah, peer to peer entrench position, plenty of advance warning, Like you have to deck stacked absolutely against you. It's four to one at a starting point. Yeah. And that's that's assuming you are willing to take those levels of casualties. Yeah, because you are going to take a lot of casualties, right, And and you. Know, and that also only works, by the way, if you're a determined attacker, like if the minute, if if the minute you start the engagement and you start getting your ass handed to you. Them guys start like cockroaches and lights get flipped on. They start running all directions. You're gonna need ten to one to freaking absorb this fight. Yeah, for to one, I believe it's four to one determined and trained attackers. Wait figured, I mean, like I said, like military engagement history has taught us this over and over, and it's it's four to one at a starting point. Yeah, for to one is a healthy starting point. I believe before firearm it was like eight to one into a fortified position. Yeah, but there is a reason why medieval castles were so rarely breached. Yeah. Usually traditionally you waited until everyone was starving or sick. Yeah, and then they quit. You bear it, well, you do what they did in the Alamo. They barricaded those poor bastards in there and picked at him until they were basically adding ammunition, and then they came in hot as opposed to eight. Yeo, bro, we're gonna get you tonight. And the ranger and his buddy said. We'll leave the light on for you exactly. Like that's just it's just a generally sub par hall with most retired or former military individuals or even current military individuals, but like rangers of all, people. Currently serving, rangers of all. Yeah, yeah, this is especially this happening. I want to say it was like seventy five or seventy six. Those boys just came back from except from the Southeast Asia Conference. They were not to be trifled with. You should have just let them drink their beer and pass out in the piece. Yeah, No, that's a generally bad call. Might have happened closer to nineteen eighty. I don't recall. I just know that, like, it was a hell of a story from the sound of it. Jeff's clacking in here. In thirty nine, Germany took six days to take the Polish defensive line at forty to one. But it is worth pointing out that at that moment where Germany began all this action in thirty nine, it's arguable they had the best military in the world. Yeah. It certainly the most technologically advanced. I mean, these guys were these guys were. Doing, were the most advanced. I would say. These guys were using coordinated attacks, and they were using vehicle born, ground assault and air attacks in a coordinated fashion. In conjunction, coordinated by radio. Yes, I think the old I think really the only thing they brought they brought to the war a little later than everybody else, might have been radar, because I think the British were kind of on the cutting edge of that. British did have the better radar. Germany also had radar, not as much and it wasn't as critical. Well, look, they're on the mainland mass of Europe. Yeah, so there's a lot. There's a lot that radar can't do for you in the mainland mass of Europe. It also takes a lot of sense for a lot less area to cover by radar to get the maximal effect from the radar. So, and radar also has a hell of an advantage when you're reaching out over water. A lot further range does much further range. All right, Nick, we're thirty six minutes in. You have only got one half assed pill ranatomy. Phil, have you seen the news that came out of California the other day? Let me let me make it. No, I haven't, but I'm already make. It go for the audience. Kah kah. Mhmm. So now to me, that sounds like a declaration of violent intent. California. Huh, California. He was given a doctorate, probably paid for by. US tax dollars. Well, Nick, have you seen the movie Escape from La I have you remember what they did in that movie? I remember Snick Pluskin's badass leather jacket that I have never been able to find. The equal up. They built a wall around California and turned it into a penal colony. It is time to do it again. All right, I'm argument in California I have any interest in is the Redwood Forest? Can we wall that off not in California and just give that to Oregon. Are there communists in the Redwood Forest? I mean there's probably some hippies getting high in the Redwood Forest. Those are not communists. Those are hippies. Yet you know a lot of hippies like communism. Okay, then we deport the communists from the Redwood Forest, and then we build the rent, we keep the Redwoods. I like to go there at some point. Also, we should probably carve off north north California, because there's a whole lot of people out there that don't really like being California is to begin with. Yeah, I think that's fair. Matter of fact, we could just call that California. We build the roll wall around the crazy part of California, and we call that hell because that's what it sounds like. I mean, it's not getting better. I mean it depends if you like feces on the ground in public and massive homeless population and unfettered drug use. It sounds like a freaking paradise. You know. The fact that you have to freaking have like targets and everything, with everything locked up to prevent flash mobs looting it dry. All I'm saying is I don't have a personal issue with anyone that comes to this country from a foreign land with the attention of becoming an American. I have no problem with it. I have no issue with it. I am happy to see y'll come over here. Please, for the love of Christ, go through the freaking immigration process. As annoying and stupid and backwards as it is, I would really appreciate if you idiots would follow our freaking laws at least a little bit on the way to becoming American. But once you come here, there's another part of this equation where you were supposed to assimilate to my goddamn culture, not force yours into my home. You come here. That doesn't mean you have to be Christian. There's a whole bunch of not Christians run around. I got no problem with the end of them either, But it does mean that basic things like respecting my laws, my traditions, my cultures, if I want to walk a dog down the street, if I want to eat bacon in public, if I want to do aim. That shit that your prophet says is not okay. This is not an ethno state, and neither is this a religious state. So fuck all the way off with your nonsense. Go the hell back to wherever the hell you came from, where you can have that religious ethno state, and you cannot be my problem anymore. But if you come here, you get to do things our way, and if that's not amenable to you, then piss off. Agreed. Look, when I see preachers of any religion making statements like that, the first thing that says to me is if I say no, they fully intend every home, that means they intend to remove me from my home. Unfortunately for them, Nick, and I say this with all the love and affection of my fellow man that I can. I barely like three dozen people in the entirety of the world. I don't even know how many billion people there are in the world. I don't like almost all of them, and I haven't even met them yet. Like no offense to the audience, I don't know y'all. I just not like y'all by default. And if I ever meet y'all, I'm sure all will get really cool really fast, or you'll stay away from me. But I will really like your dog, or I'll really like your dog. That would be the icebreaker. But my point is that I don't like people. I have a whole host of wasted spents violence in this home, specifically so that I get to say what happens in my own home, and there is no government, no e mom, no priests, nobody coming into my home and dictating how things happen in my home period in discussion and by extension, my community, my state, or my country. If you don't like the way things happen here in America, I don't know why the hell you came here, except I do because we have a really robust social welfare system that people in Minnesota seem to really enjoy making use of, whether they are entitled to it or not. True. You know, this is The problem I have with people that consider Islama religion, it's it is not a religion. It is a religious system. It is a political system. It is an ethno superiority system because it's well, it's and it's also the patriarchy system that all the leftists and feminists have been so mad about for all these years, and suddenly they're in favor of. Can I just say, and I said this earlier today, it is the weirdest timeline on Earth. I freaking live in where there's this unholy union between freaking radical feminists and men that costplay as women, and men who believe that because they're profit gating the permission that they can enslave twelve year old girls to be their sex slaves. Like, actually, there's something so freaking weird. No, hear me out. I know it's not weird. I know that that's because like the feminist goal, the third wave feminist goal truly is to just destroy the the nuclear family, and that is ultimately the vehicle. And they will make allies with anyone they have to to that in I get all that, and I understands. Will use every single potential ally to get a little bit of control and they'll take that little bit of control and they'll push it farther and farther and farther until they have a slight majority. And but my second they do through breeding immigration and driving other people out. That's when they start trying to enforce the real law. Look at most of Europe. But here's the part. Here's the part where I struggle with Nick. We've known her for a few years. Would you not agree I'm a reasonably rational person. Yes, I say some irrational things sometimes, but that's mostly like whiskey and anger fuel. But like I'm a rational person. One plus one equals too, and this. And that attempt to be intellectually consistent. So whenever I hear a person who makes bedfellows with another group that is like diametrically opposed to everything they claim to stand for, it just makes my freaking head hurt. Yes, but you're see the problem is you're assuming that the rank and file feminists are okay with this. It's not the rank and file feminists that are pushing this. It's not the rank and file leftists that are pushing this. I hear what you're saying. I don't know if I given that out at this point. But I've reached I've reached a point. I've reached a point in my life at forty three years old where I am so far over the limit of like giving people the benefit of doubt and saying, well, it's not all leftists, it's not all feminists. Well, I'm like, no, no, if you hang if, if you hang that title around your neck, knowing that there are these other people who call themselves feminists who do stupid, fucked up shit that you were either in league with it, you are excusing it, or you were ignoring it, period and discussion. So the issue is that it's there. There is a difference between the extremists on the left and their general rank and file population. What they have done is create a culture of fear and a culture of weaponization of everything, and then they take every single out group and label them as the most horrible thing possible. In this case, it's racist and Nazis, bigots, whatever and great. In the nineties, people were real afraid of being called bigots and racist and Nazis for disagreeing with the left, and in the twenty teens they were too, And then everybody realized that. Well, I mean, words don't have power if you don't give them power. When I like when I grew up, when I was in high school, racism wasn't really a problem in the Midwest. It really wasn't. Yes, there were some elderly people that would rant about the colors. Great great Grandma, who was born in nineteen thirty doesn't like the colors. Everybody said, don't listen to Grandma. She's old and senile. Literally, a conversation I had with family members was that great Grandma is a crazy old lady that no one should listen to, but we need to take care of her because she has no one else to do so. Now, it wasn't a problem until they started cramming it down our throats to get rid of the movement, the what was it? The oh, the thing that was going on in New York that Tim Poole was all involved in. Shoot name is evading Me? Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Wall Street, thank you? Until Occupy Wall Street came around and people all started agreeing with each other that the problem was the banking cartel that controls most of the country and our elected leaders. The DeVos crew mm hmm. And then they started race baiting and really ramping down on enforcement on crime. Funny how that works out. Yeah, you know, it's it's almost like they were attempting to set up the impoverished areas of the country to turn into these flaming hellscapes so that people would get mad at the groups in those areas instead of the Davos group. Mm hmm. Now George Soros has funded almost every one of these let all the criminal out das putolitical campaigns, So that tells me that his goal is violent chaos. I mean, judge a tree by their fruits. I'm not usually one to quote the Bible, but goddamn if that don't look like that's the fruit he intended. Sorry, I have to make another note. You and I are going to have a whole discussion about religion one of these days. I was an altar boy for like three years, and I can't do religion. I was a good I was a good, faithful, hateful Catholic, and now I am like the I am still a Christian, but I am like the most anti organized religion person you'll ever meet. And that is not that's not against anyone who believes in organized religion. You do, you have fun go forth through great things. But I have been burned by so many different religions and so many different religious figures who not that they couldn't, but they refuse to engage in discourse with a person who has genuinely, like had questions about the things that were being preached. Oh, there's definitely a problem with that. Yeah, I find though I'm having the alternate issue as I grow older. I don't think the general population is intelligent enough to function without structured religion and big scary sky Daddy holding a sword over their neck one problem. I don't think it's an intelligence problem. Oh, I think it definitely to a point, is an intelligence issue, but thinking issue on their part. But I think it's a morality issue. I think that the the the age old argument that athe has always put forward, saying that you don't have to believe in God to be a moral person has been proven wrong. You've so many by so many different people. You don't if you have a high enough IQ to process the long term cost benefit analysis. I think that there's I think that there's a point at which now I think there's an upper bounds to that too, because I think there are some very hyper intelligent people out there that can process a long term cost benefit analysis and say, yeah, but if I benefit fast enough, soon enough, I can pay that cost and I can still win. Or it's people that just don't care enough about the long term effects of their action. Sociopathy, Yeah, well, sociopathy or a an inability to defer gratification, which is a phrase I use a lot whenever we talk about religion and society and everything else. Is I'm like, whichever culture is willing to defer gratification is the one that's usually going to win in the end. Yeah. And because it's see currently that is Islam, They're they're they're willing to play every single possible strategy and wait for the one that wins. Also the Chinese, well, I have questions about how successful the Chinese even are inside their own country. So I think that the cracks are starting to show in China. But I think it's because they tried to expand way too fast. But I and I think when China started dabbling in communism, socialism, maoism, that was where the problem started. But China has China, by virtue of being such an old society, has a very long range viewpoint on things, like they are willing to. They are willing to burn the next five generations of their family down so that the sixth one comes out on top. That is the sort of like plant trees, the shade of which I'll never enjoy thinking that this country used to be known for that, God us to where we are today until we somehow out with at least two generations who were like, screw the people behind me, I'm getting mine. Here's the problem with that, though. The Chinese system does not reward that long term strategy without anymore. It used to. It hasn't since the nineteen sixties. Well, but that's that's what I'm saying. It used to for a long time, but once they started dabbling. With generations phil it hasn't for three generations now. I'm not I've never been to China. I do not really know all that terrible much about China. But there's a number of people that study China that are seriously questioning how in the world China can have a population as high as they claim to. It can't, between the single child policies, all possible, all the purges, the fact that there's no economic data that supports a good portion of these people existing at all that for the last twenty years, none of these a shocking number of these people have never shown up in the workforce. It's not mathematically possible. They can't have a billion people. They look like it would look like the cities in India. Yes, there are some major cities in China that are extremely congested. Well, the only thing you really need to look at is that sheer number of like apartment buildings and housing and projects and everything they've built that they're now tearing down because they're falling in on themselves because they're unoccupied. Look at. So the one I found the most interesting was a scholar that studied social stratification data and technology use. Okay, they took the data as far as like cell phone use in places like Shanghai, in places like Taipei where it should be off the walls, in places like various major cities in China, Shenzen Province in China where a lot of the manufacturing takes place, and they take those those population metrics, which they're Southeast Asian East Asian population metrics for cell phone data, and they apply that nationwide to China as far as like percentage of users compared to population I'm following you, and their numbers come up like three hundred million people short of the Chinese population estimates. So the flat, the flat fact of the matter is is that anyone that believes any statements made by the by the Chinese government needs to have their head examined. They do like we We've learned this over and over and over. We learned this through COVID, We've learned this through every human's rights rights violation they tried to tamp down. We've learned this over and over and over that while the Chinese people might be decent people, the Chinese government is run by sociopathic, murdering bastards. I mean, you can say that about any just about any country on the planet. I mean, I don't know of a single country on the planet where the people as a whole are dog shit, but most of our governments, because I don't know that much about all of them, I assume there might be one that's decent, just I don't know. The United States is kind of a kind of in the running for that these days, because they sure do seem to be a higher than average proportion of shit bags in this country, sure does. I mean Poland's doing pretty all right. I've got a couple of Polish individuals that I know that are very happy with what the Polish government is doing and are considering immigrating back to Poland from America. That says something because of well, okay, one of them is because there's a potential war with Russia brewing and he really wants to kill Russians. Which I respect his game. Game's got to respect game. I mean, I get it. Poland Russia, they've been fighting for a long time. They're just having no spat and then they're gonna be back at it. But I've said before, dude, if the Russians ever managed to piss off the Poles and the Fins at the same time, you were gonna you're gonna see some shit that's gonna make Canada look like ultra boys. Probably, especially if the if the folks from southern Poland and the mountains get really involved. Bruh. The last time Russia pissed off Finland like a quie, a little farm boy, mrked three hundred of the sons of bitches. They shot him in the face, and he went back to war and killed more of them. Yeah, and if I recall correctly. It was either it was either Finland or poland it might have been Finland. There was actually a female sniper that was almost as famous as some as a Semahaya because her her husband was enlisted and he died fighting the Russians. So she went to his old unit and enlisted just so she could kill the bastards who killed her husband. I mean, you want to talk about motivation, that's a hell of a motivation. Do not piss off Finnish women, is all I can say. Don't piss off wives. Wives? Really, wives get really crazy when somebody messes with their husbands. That whole fair, gentle sex thing I don't like. That had to have been a single man to cook that crap up, because every married man I know is like I know better. Yeah, all right, Nick, you got one half hass ran out of it? What do you Two? Two halves doesn't make a whole? Come on, you got to look three lefts, make it right. I'll give you another half hour. Which guy, you gotta have something enough? I don't have another half hour. I do have an interesting law that was recently passed in my estate field that I think may upset you. A weetle bit Have you heard of the Illinois Safe Storage Act? You mean the one that's designed to do nothing but screw with the gun owners because God forbid they have firearms with an easy reach to protect themselves from a violent crime rate that has skyrocketing, and that your state has no apparent will or ability to deal with. No, never heard of her. So there's already been a couple of people who've been prosecuted under this. Do you want to know what happened to. As an add on or as a primary charge? Primary charge? How in the flocking hell do you? How? How do you even have grounds to prosecute someone not have their guns in a safe if you don't go into their house to see that their guns are not as safe. I'll tell you person was going to a non permissible area for concealed carry, Okay, just they disarmed themselves and placed the weapon in the vehicle. Yes in a case, Yes, in a locked vehicle in a parking lot. Yes, the vehicle was broken into, The firearm was stolen because the person couldn't bring it into the non permissile areas, so they had to leave their vehicle. By lore, they were required to leave it in their vehicle they had according to the article I read, they had downloaded the firearm, they had taken the magazine out of the firearm, taken the round out. Because the only safe storage a lot. You can't store a loaded firearm in a locked container. On a company, their firearm was stolen and when they reported that theft to the police, the police officers asked them if the firearm was in a locked case, and they said, no, it was in my locked car. Well, part of the Safe Storage Act says your domicile. Now in the state of Illinois, your vehicle can be considered your domicile. Yeah, under state law, the firearm was in a locked vehicle. That firearm in the locked vehicle was not in a locked case. Therefore, they violated the Illinois staf Storage ACKed and allowed it fell into access their firearm because it was not in a locked case in their locked vehicle. Now they're not being jailed, they're being fined heavily, supposedly, either Phil Froz or I've upset him. Ah good, We're back. To the French French carpentry again. So there is something absolutely fucking sociopathic about finding a person because their car was broken into and their property stolen from them. Their property was stolen from them because their car was broken into, because they had to disarm themselves to obey the law. So by obeying the law, they have violated the law one time. One teeny title question. Are police officers subject to this law? Many of these laws? In fact, I believe active duty police officers and state level politicians are exempt. I have not read the full Act, but typically Illinois state level politicians are exempt from most firearms laws, and so are active duty police officers. So if you are any of the police officers who participated in any of this bullshit, you should be fucking ashamed of yourselves, first of all. And I'm going to say something that's going to really upset some law enforcement officers out there. So if this applies to any of y'all, I apologize in advance. I love you guys, but sometimes y'all just need to hear it. But this is exactly the shit that makes people like me, who are otherwise fair, law abiding and supportive people say, you know what, fuck it. Just disband the police officers, defund them, make them go away. Fuck it. I'll do it myself. Look, I had this conversation with Gillian at least once a month about the fact that like there was a moment in time in which I was the most anti defund the police person on Earth. I was one hundred percent back the blue, and honestly, COVID showed me loud and clear that I would be better off dealing with my own problems and dealing with these silly men and polyester uniforms doing nothing but being a pain in my ass and enforcing laws that they have no right to enforce, written by assholes who exempted themselves from them. They have no right to right to write those And on top of everything else, not only do I have them impeding me from fixing my own problems, but when I absolutely want one to show up to do something productive for their community, they are nowhere because they're handing out speeding tickets or stuffing donuts in their freaking pie holes. I would rather not have police officers in the freaking world than have to deal with them and the capacity that we currently do, where they do very little that is actually genuinely helpful and a lot that screws with the population and prevents them from dealing with their own problems. Because I'm here to tell you that I come from the old school, where if someone steals your stuff, you go steal it back and crack their head open for their trump for your trouble. But if you do that, a police officer are going to show them want to put you in freaking prison for her committing battery. But they're probably not going to go deal with the person who stole your property. They're gonna want to come and have a conversation with you about why you left that pharm moone security so they could be stolen. So I'm sorry, I'm going to join hands with freaking BLM and then the Marxists for just this one moment in time and say yes, one hundred and ten percent, let's just freaking defund the police, get rid of them. I am sick and tired of state actors being paid generous salaries to be a gigantic pain in everyone's ass and do nothing of value. And I'm not saying all police officers do nothing of value, but i am. Saying they're definitely good police officer. Boys and girls. I'm telling you that y'all have a whole bunch of your ranks who are doing stupid shit, and you either speak out against them and bring them back in line, or you own the criticism that they're buying. Case in point right here, someone in this guy's command should have sat him down and told him quit being an asshole and go do your freaking job. Go get the man's property back and lock them the bastards that took it. But instead he probably got to forget pat on the assent of promotion and probably reach around because you know, gun owners are bad. We got to screw them over. You know what. The the intention when this law was originally proposed, The intention was exclusively for parents of children who have firearms in the home. It's initial writing didn't include anything about preventing known felons or unknown felons from accessing these firearms. It was specific regarding homes with children. I think Phil and I can agree that if you have a home with children around, you should probably have your firearms secured. There's really no downside to having your firearms secured and one on your hip. But if that's your children in the home, then why the hell did the state exempt themselves from that same law. It's so good for the rest of us. Well, you see, Phil, because the police officers can't be held to the same standard as a regular. Of course, why will we hold a person with a ninety five IQ in a high school education that went through post responsible for enforcing the laws. He's probably not smart enough to fucking read. That makes perfect sense. Have you ever seen how. Police tests get done? Please? Nick, no open book, open note, Phil, open book, open note. I was gonna pivot to the fact that, you know, even once we get past the police officers, then we're dealing with the freaking incestuous, kitty touching coke heads who run most of our government officer. Yeah, let's pivots one moie. Good news is a lot of them that are up for reelection or popping on the ozempics, so they're gonna have brittle bone disease next time they fall over. There done, I hope they trip and break every bone in their fucking bodies. To hell with those. People, I mean, given our our presidents lately tripping and falling on all kinds of stuff past and future, well past and President. Jeff just brought something up that I had heard about and honestly forgot about. Have you heard of this Peace Act I have? I happen to be a person that has gone hunting in the past, I do quite enjoy uh tossing. Now the line for a wee trout or bluegill or a nice. Bass catching release is also banned under this. Yeah, I know. Look, I can understand why people sometimes have a problem with catching release. I can too, and I encourage those people not to catch and release. Go mind you fucking business nobody else. If you want to eat every single fish you catch, I hope you never catch a fish outside of a legal slot and of it. That also means you'll never catch a trophy fish. So have fun. Fuck off. But this seems to be a complete and total band on hunting and fishing. Yes, because killing animals is bad, everyone should be a vegan and guns are scary, which is. Hilarious because the every single vegan consumes animal products, every single one, whether they know it or not, they do because every single one of those mass harvested plants and grains that you eat is covered in the blood of field animals. You ever see what happens when a deer gets caught in a combine during the harvest fill mulch. They get pulled straight in and often it's fawns, A lot of times. It's it's yearling fonts. Mm hmm. Yeah, Ragle, there's about to be an explosion in hit and run stats. If the if the manslaughter charge for hitting an animal with your vehicle does end up a thing. But bruh, given the conversation we just had about how Illinois, I am convinced they will. They will. They will charge someone with it. Eventually, they will. They will find a way. They will find a way. They're going to find a way to charge you. And look, all I'm gonna say is what I said when I first heard about this nonsense. My answer is poaching. That is what will occur. That is what will Listen. We started off by gone. We started off this conversation off by saying that a long, a long time ago, a young, happy, go lucky, really idealistic phil was like super law and order. And you know, it's not the police's fault. They enforced stupid laws. The politicians to write better laws and back the blue and Republican neo kon the whole nine yards. And I have come around to the point where I am so freaking fed up with these laws and these politicians and these assholes who were freaking demanding all this bull crappy rammed down everybody else's throat that I am now firmly in the camp of the next time you idiots pass the law I don't like, I'm not just going to ignore it. I'm going to flagrantly and publicly ignore it. I dare you to do something about it. I will shoot every freaking animal I feel the urch too, And if you don't like it, come get some I have a deer rifle. How close do you want to get to me? That is the point I'm at with this. I mean, if you outlaw all hunting in a state, I am no longer going to be that for that rational reasonable person that says, fine, we should have buy by the law. We should have our day in court. We should fight it like like a mature adult at the ballot box. No, we should go in the woods. We should shoot baby in its freaking face, eat its raw meat directly off the bones. And when someone shows up and say, hey, you aren't supposed to shoot the deer, I'm not saying shoot at that person. But I'm saying is if some hood rat shit happens, you kind of ask for it at this point, because you are if you passed a law you had no right to pass, and you approached a man with a hunting rifle, and if bad things happen at a certain point, you were asking for it. It's very similar to the issue that we're currently seeing with the Sikh population in the in the British population in the UK right now, regarding the knife bands and the stabbing that's been in the news all over the place. So the one that cures starmer laws, the one that is saying that we we we are not. We need to be more tolerant, and we need to be tolerant. Of more tolerant of people stabbing us. Yeah, dude, have you ever been impaled accidentally by something. Like through like a major part of my body, but like through fingers and stuff, and hey. You've had like a nail pop through your foot or something. Yeah, I mean it sucks, It doesn't feel great. Does not not really optimum. Yeah, blond objects hurt really bad too. While we're on they. See the size of the knife guy stabbed him with. No it was one of the large Sikh ceremonial knives. It was like eating Oh that's hellish, Yeah. Quite hellish. Stabbed him multiple times. But the feel good anti racism laws are more important than a deadly stabbing. This is the point we're getting to with Oregon's hunting laws. The feel good letting people out of jail, don't hurt the squirrels, don't hurt the rabbits is more important than people feeding their families and being safe. So, Nick, what happens when people win a a portion, let's say ten percent? What happens when ten percent of people finally decide, you know what, I don't care about your laws anymore. I'm just gonna do what I want. Well, look at what happened with the with the marijuana just in general, like since the nineteen thirties and forties. Once it's actually more like the fifties and sixties when marijuana really started to across the US. It was banned, it was illegal. What did we get. We got an explosion in drug trafficking and criminal organizations to fund it. So band hunting. Great, We'll get an explosion of black market farms and poaching. When you take a person that has not only the willingness but the ability to violate the law, because look, you're not going to find everyone you know, You're just flat knot. You just have to hope that you scare a plurality of the population to thinking they will get caught. They're still hunting moonshiners up and down Appalachia to this freaking day. Hunting moonshiner since before this nation. Yeah, and guess what still not you're never going to get rid of shine stills. And actually, though positive news on that front, it is no longer federally illegal to create hard liquor and distill it at home for personal use. Yeah, ragel, I've been saying for years banning hunting. Right, already working on that in Illinois. But they're not going to call them hunting rifles. What they're gonna sniper. They're to call them snipe power rifles. If it has a scope on it, it's a it's a sniper rifle. Now, high powered rifles is the new term that I've heard our state legislature pushing and what. Prey till do they consider high powered? Because you know where I come from, something that centerfire bolt action rifle. Oh so you know two forty three winchesters high powered. I mean, to be fair, they're gonna win bag. I would call it a high power part it is. I don't see any reason why banning that is required. Ragle moses are center fired and they are a full a full bore rifle. I think he was making a joke a battle that they're not considered high powered. But it's basically right. It's basically rimmed thirty odd to six. Yes, it is. It is just a sexier thirty odd six bloy. Although let's be fair that case looks. The last time I compared seven to six two by fifty four rimmed to thirty odd six, someone got really pissed off at me explaining how like the seven six to two rimmed I think was a little bit more powerful than thirty odd six, so it wasn't really an apple comparison. Oh listen, I'm I'm miss I'm miss pedanting an autistic about guns as the next person. But that was that was even pushing my limits a little bit, because I'm like, Okay, if you've never seen a mos in or seven six by fifty four are in your life and I say it's rimmed thirty odd six, you're gonna be like, oh, I know what you mean? Now, you know, like, yeah, I mean the ballistic coefficient is ever so slightly different, But it's it is a it is velocity is ever so slightly different. I can make a thirty odd six round mimic a moson around. I can make a most around mimic a thirty point really not that difficult. It's a thirty caliber long action. Ragel. If your Moses is not scope, you are doing it wrong. Feel bad. Get a turned down bold handled like I did, and put the original scope on there so that you can play Russian sniper? Is it weird that Aalingrad match? Is it weird that I've never had amzon? Do you want one? Oh christ? Like? Do you have any desire for one at all? Damn it, I'm not giving you one. My gut feeling like I only have one last. My gut feeling is I need another gun, like I need a hole in the freaking head. But it's but it's a bosed and I kind of wanted to just shoot one a bunch. You know what, I'll see if I have room, and I'll see if I have room in the in the in the gun vault I'm bringing down. You can shoot mine. You will hate it. It's terrible. No, No, I've handled one before. I've just never owned one or done a lot of shooting with one. But like, it's kind of like that SKS, Like I'd wanted an SKS for a while, and now that I have one, and I have, I have, I don't know a few thousand rounds and seven six y thirty nine that See, A funny thing happens when I buy a rifle or a shotgun or a pistol, Like if I don't already have, if I already. Had cass of AMO, just show up match well. No, I go stock up on more AMMO for that weapon. But like in this case, I knew I had a bunch lying around for my AK and I hadn't shot it in a while, so like I didn't really know how much I had, so I just start I literally opened up my safe and started pulling out Ammo cans and popping over be like, oh, that's a can of seven six thirty nine and clunk, Oh that's a can of seven six to thirty nine. Conked, Oh that's five five six, that's nine mili that says, oh, here's another cana seven six y thirty nine. I have no idea how I had more than two thousand rounds of the shit just lying around. It's easy to do though, when you buy a thousand at a time. But here's the wacky part. The sks came with more than a thousand rounds, you know with it? Yea, so for so for a cartridge that I don't shoot that often, I now have almost three thousand rounds of AMO line around. Sounds like a great excuse for range day. I mean, that's why I've been saying for long, is like, you know what, I was gonna bring my AR to Kentucky. Bring the SK. I might bring the the AR and the sks. Just bring a thousand rounds. And rip them. Everybody can have a party with that thing. Oh hell yeah, it's a lot of fun. The sks are a lot of fun to shoot. Yeah, you know, Jeff, I get you. You guys probably remember back in like two thousand and eight, two thousand nine, ten, when Cabellas and stuff had Moses for sixty nine dollars fifty nine dollars sometimes. Okay, so the local gun shop near me called gat Guns at one point did a case sale of Moses. If you bought a case of Moses, you got a spam can, a crate, a crate of Moses, a crate of Moses. You got a crate of spam cans with the createive Moses, and so it was two spam cans and ten Moses, and I think it was like six hundred and fifty bucks. And me and a buddy of mine went like, we'll each kick in three. Let's go do that. So we bought a case of Moses, a crate of Moses, and we bought a whole bunch of spam cans. And they had extra crates of the spam, of the dual racks of spam cans laying there. So we're like, is there a limit on how many we can buy? The answer was no. And that's when when he maxed out his credit card on AMMA. And that's when Nick figured out what gross vehicle weight is. I got pulled over leaving gat Guns, and I got to spend a very nice long time with several police officers until a sergeant came up and informed the nice police officers that know there is no law against him buying what appears to be all of Russian surplus munitions. Ragle. I don't know those are bad decisions were made or good decisions we made. We gave those. We gave those mosones out as birthday gifts to a bunch of people because we just didn't know what else to do with us. See you know what we did the transfer. All of my friends are freaking trash. I've never been given a firearm for my birthday, okay. But we were giving out sixty dollars birthday gifts I've been given. I've been given sixty dollars bottles of whiskey, and because I don't drink very often, I still have most of them. I actually need to just bring a chunk of my liquor cabinet up to Kentucky. It's one way to get rid of it. Well, okay, but like a finger in here, every coupule of shows is like my normal consumption rates. So like when when I when I get a couple of bottles of whiskey for an event, I'm gonna be drinking on two years, I haven't bought I was about to say I haven't bought my own whiskey, but I have bought my whiskey. The problem is after that I got given more whiskey. That's true, and I probably should send you home with some. Like I need like I need more. I was not able to get the has Matt. They only had twenty bottles and they raffle them off. You motherfucker giving you stupid money for that. I mean, you know, I'm sure we will see. Pof strict whiskey. That sounds trip I did not. That sounds like bad decisions. Well let's go ahead and wrap up talking about the trip to Kentucky, because you. Know we don't. This isn't now to be fair, this is like the matter of facts, patrons, the MF Minions camping trip, and if. You find us will not be hard to locate, we're allowed. Yeah. Well, well we're trying it to be super stupid retarded loud, but we will be moderately retarded. There will be noises. This year. Our buddy Brian is arranging a range day for us at a private range that he's a member of, which is going to be a lot of fun. Oh, it's gonna be fantastic. I am waiting to find out, very excellent ten twenty two. I'm waiting to find out if my girls are going to join me. My daughter is like on the fence about it. Okay, she said, maybe ask her like Saturday when I'm packing up the guns and I really need a do or die, Like, am I bringing the twenty twos or not? She said she'll make a decision by then. I'll bring my twenty two if you want to risk it, and she can always come and shoot that if she wants. I'll have plenty of amos. Yeah. I mean, Brian pretty much said he's bringing up twenty two to keep the kids having fun all afternoon. But I mean, to me, it's like I will happily bring that Marlon nine ninety and I am I need to bring some cleaning supplies because, like, I'm pretty sure I finally got the kinks worked out of that thing. The last time I took it, shooting about every two or three magazines full, it would it refused to freaking eject. It would refuse to eject around so it would like, you know, the bolt would ride back, the case would come like halfway out, the bolt slam forward and mangle it, and then you'd have you'd have a failure to eject and a double feed, which was a real, real gigantic pain in the ass. I think I tracked it down though I took the fire control group out and I realized that the ejector was like really really really gritty. Like I cleaned it. As well as I could, but obviously, in between the ejector and the housing it was in, there's some carbon just kind of and some junk just kind of stuffed in there. So I did so I did the old hoose it out with ballistall and I just manually operated the ejector over and over and over until the crunchiness went away. Yeah, worked all the credit. Yeah, just use that. It's roll pin fixed, isn't it. Yeah? And nine and I mean nine ninety is like I think it's a to model seventy. It's the same same thing. Yeah, but I think they're all rolepin fixed and there it's very not easy to get that rolepin. I I have looked at a diagram on how this fire control group comes apart. I do not want to take it apart if I don't have to fair enough, I dude, I've ripped a part of freaking Smith and Weston six forty two J frame, which already looks like a Swiss watch on the inside with all that shit going on it is. I tore one of those part to do a spring kit and everything on it. And that was one of the more terrifying gun gun jobs I've done before. This thing genuinely intimidates me. Like I took one look. I took one look at it, and I was the problem is that so many little parts and so many springs that you have to hold under tension to get the pins in, and you have to get the pins through multiple components. So the common the common knowledge seems to be that what you really need is a drift and you like, you know, like one piece of a time pop. Yeah, you have to, but you need one. That fits really really tightly, because if not, then when you go to put your main pin in, nothing's in alignment. It's it just looks like a gigantic pain in the butte. That would be my opportunity to spraying something off into the the anals of my garage. Yeah, and then good luck getting a pin, good luck getting what you need. Yeah, well, it'll be just like the freaking the fire the D ten from my ar fifteen lord that I built that went spraying and. Then it's in the string always by four or five of those damn things every single time. Yeah. Well, now I have a couple of oops kits for a reason, so. Phil interesting thing, uh, little little bit of industry knowledge on mold making. There's things called TI pins. You know what that stands for? Titanium? Nope, thousands increment. Oh that's wonderful, pantic every one one thousands of an inch from like believe it's thirty thirty one or thirty two thousands up to half inch. So if you need a drift of an extraordinarily specific size, PCs Mold Components sells extremely specific size pins in various lengths, and they're like three dollars. How long you can order them with a credit card? How long are they? I think you can get them in three, five and ten. O oh more than plenty. Oh yeah, more than plenty, more than so far. I'm subscribing to the hose it out with ballast all and then like keep working there, keep working the component till you crush up all the carbon, and the next time you hose it out, just this black gunky crab comes spilling. Out the bottom of it. Do you have a sonic cleaner? No? It might be worth investing in. I've been debating. I'm getting one myself for a while, but I just take all my gun stuff. I need to clean to the two gallon sonic cleaner at work and dump it in there when the anti gun person's not paying attention. That's cute that you have one of those. He opened it up one time when I had a full fire, couple of firearm control groups, barrels and slides in there. He went, what the world was this? That's about half of four guns. Don't worry about it. It's called miny business. It's called just leave it alone, man, I'll clean it out of break. I'm on the clock now. But yeah, that's kind of what we're shaping up for. I have no earthly idea what we're going to get into. I know that a couple of people talked about like maybe visiting some of the local distilleries breweries that are there. I don't know if I'll be in for that, just because, like you know, I have a fourteen year I have a fourteen year old daughter, and I doubt she's gonna be interested. And they may not even allow minor into those places. And I know, I know Gillion's likely to not be that it, you know, that interested. So I don't know, Like I know we're gonna do the gun range, and I know that we're gonna find some other nonsense to get into while we're up there over their body. But the cool thing about this is. A couple of really nice short hiking trails that go to a few little waterfalls. In my life, wife is fine. It's just going to bring up a lot of like onesie two zie miles. I was telling Gillyan about that that that's definitely something I'd like to check out. But you know, the big thing about the matter of fact, camping trip has always been that you go out there and you bring your family, and you do what you want to do, Like if you just want to go off and do your own thing and then like you know, like hanging out around the fire, lunch, dinner, hanging around the campfire, whatever. But like it's always been that thing where everyone can bring their own family, everybody can do their own thing. They do, they have the experience at their pace doing it the way they want to do it. It is like the most approachable, open ended. After you go do this once or twice, it literally becomes camping. It literally becomes like family vacation with your extended family. It really is. It's a lot of fun I really enjoyed last year's. Yeah, I'm still waiting for the day I can pet your dog. She'll get there. I never recommend cheese or sour del she really liked the sour last time. I think I'm slowly wearing her down because, like last time, she'd get close fro and closer to me, and then she'd realize she was close to me and then get on your side of Rachel. Dude. She does that to me to this day sometimes. I mean she'll she'll be laying on me on the couch and then she'll you'll see her nose start going and she'll those like creeping eye up and look at me and then freak out and jump to the other end of the couch. She forgets who I am. I mean, the way I am with dogs is like, Hey, if you want to hang out, you can hang out. If you want to be over there, you can be over there. That's cool. I will pet you if you come to me. Though, So Raggle, it's not that she doesn't like people. It says she doesn't like people she doesn't know. Yeah, she so she's a rescue and she had a fairly traumatizing puppy hood. She was abandoned along with her litter, and I think there was some abusive owners before that or in the transfer process. And you know, it's when dogs have a hard time when they're younger, especially when it's like they had a hard time with a very big guy and then a big guy walks up. Yeah, it triggers the trauma response and a dog just like it does with a person. I mean, I don't blame her. She has gotten phenomenally better. She lets most of our neighbors pet her and will allow them to give her a treat. So she's gotten a lot better. But it took probably oh six months of her living with us before I could put her collar on her and or like walk her around the yard. Yeah, it took a while. I don't take it personally. She'll warm up to me. It's up to her. She will eventually, especially if you have cheese. But that's how I got her to like me. But I am a dog petter. I like to pet that dog. I'm gonna pet that dog. I'm gonna pet especially, bring as many dogs as you want to the MLF trip. I will pet all your dogs. All right, let's go ahead and roll this one out. Today is the fourth I'm gonna post the I'm gonna edit this tomorrow, and it's gonna post on Saturday, and next week there will probably not be an episode come out on Thursday because Thursday will be the day that I am driving home. Yes, we will probably record Wednesday night day. We will record someday while we're out there, and I will post it. I mean I might actually get it. I might actually get the audio out for Saturday, when it normally gets released. That might happen. But as far as the stream, like, if I do what I've done in the past, I'll bring like my laptop and a tripod and webcam and we will do some kind of malfeasance while we're out there, go. To people into being on the show. It usually involves whiskey, yes, and briber and cigars and cigars and blackmail yes. But anyway, so yeah, we'll roll this one out the door. If you didn't get the phill rand you were hoping for, it's partially your fault for not sending Nick the proper ammunition to get me riled up. But I think we had a couple okay ones. But the bar is set really high now for Nick to really get a real film ran out of me. Because when I was in my thirties, boy, I was spring loaded to the fu position. Yeah, and now that I'm forty three, I've started to mellow out just a little bit. He's really gonna start worrying about the cardiac situation here we get the blood pressure too high. Gillian could be upset with me. When you see this vein right here in the forehead start fringing, pulsing, that's when you know it's about to go down. All right, matter of facts. Going out the door, I will talk to y'all sooner or later. We're gonna have fun in Kentucky. And for those of you who are going up there. Oh, on the way out the door, Raggle was saying, well, where was Gilling? She was supposed to come in with the assist. I will let her know that she let y'all down just as soon as we were wrapped cat ey to our body. Nighterer Ber
