Implicit Bias
The Krewe discusses all the things we're not supposed to talk about in polite conversation, and they do it while tasting and rating Whiskeys and Bourbons!
Principled, Logical, Christian, Catholic, Irreverent, and down right stupid at times,
The Krewe will solve the problems of the world one #weeklywhiskey at a time, tell you the "other side" of the news, and laugh the whole time.
Get 6 months ahead of the mainstream media, join the "Krewe" for a fantastic conversation over a tasting of whiskey and find your "Implicit Bias."
Implicit Bias
We have a MAN problem!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It's not that we have too much masculinity in our world, it's that we don't have enough!
The Krewe dives in head first, in roughly the same way we do with our #weeklywhisky, exploring why we need men to be MORE Masculine, and why it's the lack of Men that put this world where it is.
We'll tell you how the conspiracy theorist were right again, in more than one way...How we might be on our way back as Alice In Chains makes a comeback...and why the yellow brick road may have been more than we thought.
Don't miss another episode of Implicit Bias Radio!
There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch. Yes, this is implicit bias radio. Yes, I'm Kavon Bordelauning. Yes, we just started with a line from Austin Powers. We do love a joke until unfortunately we realize we're just laughing at a crater, right? We love the absurdity until the absurdity has become the operating system. And unfortunately, we've been so terrified of sounding regressive that we've treated a structural collapse like a decorating problem. The truth is that we in culture today have a man problem. And no, I'm not talking about toxicity. Toxicity is a caricature. I'm talking about absence. A ghosting of the masculine spirit from the exact rooms that actually needed a spine. The dinner table, the boardroom, the pulpit, the community square. We didn't castrate culture with a manifesto. We just left the building and called it progress. I mean, look at the data. It's very, very simple. The fatherless home is the Swiss and the army knife of societal disaster. Poverty, dropout, incarceration, you name it. But look past the spreadsheets and you'll find something much, much worse. Spiritual atrophy so advanced the muscle has forgotten it was ever attached to a skeleton. We have a generation of men who are physically in the house the way that a coat rack is in a home. They provide a paycheck, the way a vending machine provides a snack. The lights are on, nobody's home. They are the landlords of their own bloodline. And to understand how we got here, you actually have to go back before all the TED talks. In Iron John by Robert Bly, he talks about the wild man and the moment we actually severed the living wire between fathers and sons. The Industrial Revolution didn't just invent the time clock, it invented the stranger father. We ripped the boy out of the man's orbit, parked the workplace on the other side of town, and turned the father into a rumor who vanished at 7 a.m. and reappeared at 6 p.m. smelling like exhaustion and someone else's fluorescent lights. Initiation, you know, the actual sweaty eye-to-eye transfer of weight from one generation to the next, it got replaced by school bells, standardized tests, and a corporate quota that treats a boy like a future quarterly report. We stopped initiating our own sons. Nature, being the ruthless accountant that it is, filled the vacuum with whatever was cheapest. Porn, pills, video games, and a culture that claps when a man apologizes for existing. We no longer were raising men. We incubated large children with credit scores. Scripture is not polite about this at all. First Timothy 5.8, King James, no trigger warning. But if anyone does not provide for his relatives and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. The modern ear hears provide, and we picture a 401k and a decent dental plan. But biblical providing is not an insurance product. It's architecture. It's the load-bearing wall. If we aren't supplying leadership, protection, and direction, we aren't providing. We're just kind of the guy who pays the electric bill when the foundation quietly turns to mush. That's that's why the qualifications for church leadership are welded to the home. First Timothy 3, 4 through 5, he must manage his own household well with all dignity, keeping his children submissive. For if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church? The home is the proverbial laboratory. The family is the crash test dummy. If a man can't lead his own children with dignity and a spine, he's just a ventriloquist dummy when he stands behind a pulpit or a PowerPoint. You can't offer vision to a city if you're a tourist in your own kitchen. You can't actually hold a line at work if you've never drawn the line at your own dinner table. So how do we repair a void that started widening the day the first steam engine screamed and we decided fatherhood was a part-time gig? First, this mock, then mentor. For decades, the official treatment of the underdeveloped man has been ridicule alone. We roast the awkward teenage boy like he's a punchline instead of a construction site. We can shame the man who doesn't fit the current sanitized focused group edition of masculinity as long as we then shelter and redirect the young male. We actually have to live by the animal house rule. Hey, they can't do that to our pledges. Only we can do that to our pledges. Then we must protect our pledges to the death. The return of the mentor beckons the return of the ritual. Men, we have to stop waiting for a government pamphlet or a three-day corporate leadership experience with matching lanyards. We need to initiate our young men again. Not a themed birthday party with a fake sword, a real moment where a man looks a boy in the eye and says, without irony or safe space, this, this is what it costs to carry the weight. This is how you stand between the wolf and the flock. This is how you hold the line when everything in you wants to sit down. We have to teach the next generation how to be men by showing them what they must be, not by handing them a laminated list of the things they're no longer allowed to do, say, or laugh at. Because until man walks back into the center of the home, until he picks up the burden in the church and the neighborhood, instead of maybe outsourcing it to institutions that don't love our children the way we do, they're not a missing demographic. We, unfortunately, are missing the keel. A house without a foundation doesn't develop a charming lean. It waits, then it folds. That joke? Kind of funny. The crater is not. So, gents, let's get to work on this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. Weekly whiskey time on Implicit Bias Radio coming to you from the TSPL. That is the top secret podcast lair, located somewhere in downtown Lafayette. And yes, we have another pick. This one, a proof and wood senator six-year ride from the Implicit Bias Liquor Collective. But before we get to that, let's introduce you to the crew. That's here. We're gonna start at the bar. KB is back. He's from Kennebra. Grant Galatis, who does Bigabetta Diamonds for less.
SPEAKER_01Very nice to be here.
SPEAKER_04It's a pleasure to have you back here.
SPEAKER_01Good to be back.
SPEAKER_04We are recording on a different night than we normally record during the week, so hopefully this didn't throw off your routine too badly.
SPEAKER_01Oh, you know it did. Yeah, I'm aware.
SPEAKER_04That's why I said you do it on purpose sometimes.
SPEAKER_01You know, you know I'm OCD about my schedule, my workout schedule. So I think you do that just to have fun.
SPEAKER_04I don't actually believe it.
SPEAKER_01But I appreciate it.
SPEAKER_04Well, I'm glad you do because they'll probably do it again. All right. Sitting at the bar with him is Paul Sabotier from Superior AV. That's audio video. Welcome back, Paul. Nice to be back. Welcome to have you back in the bar as we wear our. And look, for those who don't know, you know, the in-ear monitors that we utilized, we got those through Superior AV. You guys do so much, it's not even funny. Not just home AV, commercial, security systems, monitoring, the whole nine yards, correct?
SPEAKER_03Yes, sir. All custom for the person.
SPEAKER_04Outstanding. And sitting next to me, he is enjoying this six-year rye a little bit too much already. He is the Rustic Renegade, Caleb Morse. Caleb, you uh seem like you're pleasuring yourself with that whiskey over there. That is a great way to say it. I mean by drinking the whiskey. No, no, no, it's uh treat. Thank goodness there are certain things I can't see on this set. This is this is it's one of my favorites. No doubt about it. So this is not the first version of the senator that we have had on this show. Proof and Wood puts out there, it's basically a politician series. There's the presidential dram. You have the presidential dram, you have the cabinet, you have the representative, you have the senator, you have the judiciary, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Then they have uh the ambassador, which I haven't had yet. Uh there's quite a few different ones, and some of them are really, really hard to get.
SPEAKER_04This one, though, is only available at one place. It is a member of the implicit bias liquor collective. New news, markets, Youngsville, Scott, Milton, Maurice. And if there's one thing I like about a rye, it is this. Everything pretty much, but it's not necessarily everything. It's this. You can take a rye, age at six years, and you can get a maturity level that is so, for lack of a better term, representative of a 10 or 12 year bourbon, it's not even funny.
SPEAKER_02It ages so much better because typically, if you put a spire or chips or anything else in there, you get an artificial flavor. Like you can tell that someone tried really hard to spruce it up, right? To church it up. And when you go with a rye like this and you age it four to six years, it is just distinguished. It comes out so good. You still get that spice, you still get that alcohol, especially on this one. And it just it's it's perfect.
SPEAKER_04I love how oily this is. I love how long the finish is. It's got, and I'm gonna say your favorite term, it's got a heavy mouthfeel to it. It doesn't just dissipate on the palate. It sits, it lingers, it's got weight. So I actually came up with a perfect song for this.
SPEAKER_02Uh-oh. And I think Walker needs to sing it.
SPEAKER_04Oh, well, we all know Walker can't sing, and Walker likes the senator, so maybe we'll You ever you ever when you well, you're young.
SPEAKER_02Did you watch Lamb Chop as a kid?
SPEAKER_00No.
SPEAKER_02This is the song that never. This is the ride that never ends. That's what this is. Yeah, he has no idea who Lamb Chop is. It was a sock puppet. It was a again. He has no idea who Lamb Chop is. Oh, well. Sherry Lynn. This is the song that never ends.
SPEAKER_04All right, so let's go to the bar and let's see what the guys at the bar have to say about this new news pick, Senator Six Year Rye Grant. We'll start with you.
SPEAKER_01You said pretty much uh everything I think about this one. It's it's it's heavy, it's oily, very viscous, but very laden with flavor. It's good. I mean, you get the uh there's so many flavors there. I I looked up a little review on it and they had 10 flavors in there, but you know what I hunt out, I hunt out the the honey and the sweet and the caramel. I get the the zesty orange. Yep, I get that. Yeah, so uh, I mean it's it's I'm not gonna say hot because I don't want you to jump all over me for that, but it's it's it's rye. You can tell it's rye, which is not necessarily in in my wheelhouse because it's uh again, not very not hot, but it's it's strong. This does have the proof.
SPEAKER_04This does have that rye pepper.
SPEAKER_01Right.
SPEAKER_04Okay, so you're trying to figure out the proof. Why don't you take a shot and we'll tell you when we come around?
SPEAKER_01I mean, I I wouldn't think the proof is too high up on this. I'm I wouldn't think above 110. Okay. You should be able to read that from where you are. No, let's let him go, let him go. Even with the glasses.
SPEAKER_04I was about to say, the Mr. Magoo glasses over there are not helping at that distance.
SPEAKER_01Come on, I'm not that thick of it. No, they're that's my wife's glasses.
SPEAKER_04All right, Sabatier, I'm curious as to what you think of this one. You said you thought it was a little hot, maybe the proof.
SPEAKER_03The rye. Yeah. Um so honestly, if I would have gone first, I would have said everything Caleb said. Oh, just wait, he's not yelling.
SPEAKER_02When I when I tell you when I say mine, Paul's gonna be like, oh yeah. There's a flavor in there that you know you just haven't you haven't heard of it.
SPEAKER_03So actually, I was gonna say that it's like a gobstopper. It's gonna, it's changing. Every every smell I'd done, it was something different. Every taste has been different. Like it's it's like, oh, look, there that is. Oh, oh, well, no, this. So every every sip is honestly changing. It's not my cup of tea, but I don't drink tea.
SPEAKER_04So believe it or not, I actually get some black tea notes on this. Like I get some hints of of a dark black tea on this that I find really interesting. It almost lapses for me into a flat cola type flavor. Very much on the palate, like we said, very oily. That hint of licorice on the back end, and you do get the rye pepper with this. I certainly get rye pepper with this.
SPEAKER_03The drops of water, though, like it flattened it out. It's a lot better.
SPEAKER_04Couple drops of water and whiskey for you, our proofing water. Absolutely. All right, Walker, I'm curious. The Senator is one of your favorites. We'll give you an opportunity to talk on this week's show. So I'm curious as to what you think about this six-year senator. A pick from only available at New News Markets.
SPEAKER_00Really enjoy this. I get a little, it is definitely peppery, but um big uh I'm big in a rise. And like you said, the senator is definitely one of my favorite whiskeys that we've ever had on the show. So in this one, definitely is up there.
SPEAKER_04So I've got to go back to kind of mine, which is that that cola, that flat cola. I get that. I get almost a black tea on this. I get obviously you get that honey, you get that that five spice, you get that rye pepper. This has so many notes to me that I think just absolutely are a home run. And you want me to tell Grant what the proof is?
SPEAKER_03Feel free. Definitely over one. It's like gotta be 120, 126, something.
SPEAKER_04124. Now, what I love, Grant, your reaction to finding out that this is 124 instead of, and you gotta grab the microphone because I want you to talk about this, instead of under 110, or how shocked are you that this is that high of a proof?
SPEAKER_01Not so much shocked as depressed, because the first year of the show, uh 126 would have put me under the table pretty much before the end of the first hour. Uh, it's it's nicely masked. I don't know if it's just masked behind the the hard pepper uh hit. It's just smooth. Yeah, it yeah. Then if it's 120 something, it that it is very smooth. All right, so very good. It is fantastic.
SPEAKER_04It is time for the mama's bakery. I mean, what what what are we gonna get? You're close. You're close. What are we gonna get? It almost okay, hold on. Mama's molasses cake. You're you're getting really close. That's like that's that's I'm I'm waiting on it. So let's let's see how close I am on this one.
SPEAKER_02So on the nose, uh, when I was smelling it, first off, it's one of my favorites. Um, I get that immediate rye spice and bright citrus. I get it on the nose. Uh, then a deep, rich, fresh, warm caramel, almost like a uh a warm ice cream topping caramel sauce or something like that. And then on the palate. Oh my god. Uh soft and sweet first taste, then that warm caramel topping, rice spice almost like baking. But when I started going down the baking rabbit hole, I was able to pinpoint this exact flavor. Paul, how many MREs have you eaten? Uh-oh.
SPEAKER_03I lost count. That's count.
SPEAKER_02What was what was your favorite MRE dessert? It came, you know, the they think of the pound cakes and everything else that in the little uh flesh-toned bags that you didn't use your mouth because you slice it open and look like the joker the rest of your life. The lemon poppy seed pound cake.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_02That is the flavor I get off this. Is an MRE, like meal number, I think it's 62. Uh I might be wrong. I'm trying to remember that one. But like meal number 62. 72. But it's the lemon poppy seed pound cake because you get the lemon, you get the spice, you get that vanilla caramel that goes with it. Like, that is a dessert that I've had in some of the best and worst places and best and worst times of my life. And I was able to sit down on the back of a Humvee or on the side of the wherever, uh, and just have a small moment of rest and enjoy my lemon poppy seed pound cake. And that's what this is. That's the flavor I get, and that's the memory it brings back to me. I absolutely see the bright citrus on this.
SPEAKER_04The bright citrus on this is it's almost acidic at the end. It hits you with that sweet, and then you get that bright acid that just wakes up the palate and it makes you want another sip and another sip and another sip. And as Sabatier's over there going, yeah, this really isn't for me, and he's the first one done with his initial pour. Oh, uh-huh.
SPEAKER_03It was a small pour.
SPEAKER_04Oh, all right. No, no, that's Burley's shtick. Burley is short pour. We have more. We can absolutely fix that. And we are going to, as we pass this bottle around, but that means that it is time for us to rate this on the Morse Whiskey Rating Code and to play What Would You Pay? For the What Would You Pay? Championship Belt Chain presented by Box Drop of Lafayette. Okay, for the Morse whiskey rating code for the uninitiated, because we still have some new markets. It's very simple. Red, I wouldn't drink it even if it was free. Yellow, I would only drink it if it was free. Green, I would buy this. Blue, I would seek this out. And for the what would you pay championship belt chain, it's just whoever's closest to the hole. We love hearing estimates that are way above the price of a bottle because it tells us just how good the price of what's in the liquid that's in the bottle is. Uh, but you know, sometimes it it goes astray. So it's just closest to the actual price, wins the belt chain. So, Grant, we'll start with you since you pulled the microphone. Number one, where would you rate this on the Morse whiskey rating code? Red, yellow, green, or blue?
SPEAKER_01It's blue. I give it a blue. It's just it's very sophisticated.
SPEAKER_04Agreed. I like the word sophisticated, absolutely.
SPEAKER_01Uh $68.
SPEAKER_04$68. All right. Sabotier.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, so uh it's it's not gonna be that for me. It's gonna be a green. I just okay, I'd buy it. I'm just not gonna sneak it out. Okay. Uh I'm gonna say $69, Bob. All right.
SPEAKER_04Walker, what do you think?
unknownDefinitely.
SPEAKER_04It doesn't matter what you think. No, I knew it would be a blue. Definite blue. Uh 85. 85, Caleb Morse.
SPEAKER_02Blue, 100%. Like to have it bring back that kind of memory, everything else. Like, I need this in my collection. And uh, I think I'm down to my last bottle of it anyway. So uh Well, this might not be the exact same pink that you want to do. It won't be the same one. And this has got this has got the lemon poppy seed flavor that I'm after. So this is what I need. Um, so definite blue. Walker, you got me. Uh, $93.26.
SPEAKER_04So we have $68. We have $69, we have $85 and what, $93.65? $26. 20 cents. All right. So, first of all, my rating, this is a blue. This is absolutely a bottle that if it's not on your bar, it should be. You should seek this out. It is absolutely fantastic. And man, could you imagine this? Making a Sazerac cocktail out of this. Could you imagine making an old-fashioned out of this? Because it's got that sweetness to it. Grants, like, I could not make 115-proof old-fashioned.
SPEAKER_01No, that's not the thing with so many flavors.
SPEAKER_04Yes. Absolutely. Because the flavor profile is already conducive to an old-fashioned. And the orange, the bitters, the simple syrup, the sirop de saison is just going to bring that out a little more.
SPEAKER_02Like this would be so, so layered.
SPEAKER_04Yes, it will absolutely blossom like the delicate flower that it is. All right. So it's a blue number one. Number two, the winner of the What Would You Pay championship belt chain is Grant Galatis, because this is $59.99 at New News Markets and Young's Will Stop, Milton Maurice. Grant is so thrilled to wear the What Would You Pay championship belt chain. Yeah, go ahead, Grant. You can put it on.
SPEAKER_03Use both hands.
SPEAKER_01It's crazy because uh I should have learned from that last the last time I was on, we were all in the 80s and 90s, and it was, I can't remember which bottle. It might have been this four roses. Might have been. Yeah. That it was like it was like $20 or $30 underneath. I'm I'm very happy.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, I'm aware that you are. It's a smoking deal. It really is, too. Cheers to you. This is a smoking deal on this bottle. Get them while you can and come back for more implicit bias radio. We are 86 in the garden on this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. Grant, you waited tables, didn't you? You spent time in restaurants.
SPEAKER_01Uh yeah. Uh 14 years old.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_01In New Orleans. Yeah, you you and I both spent time waiting tables. Larry Flint's place, wasn't it?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, no, no. Grant is of an age, Larry Flint wasn't even around at that point. Not with not with clubs, anyway. Correct? That's correct. Yeah, yeah. So New Orleans, okay, now we're gonna go down a quick rabbit hole. New Orleans did have, and I say rabbit, pardon the pun. New Orleans did have an actual Playboy Club back in the 50s, 60s, somewhere around there, didn't it? Whoa, down in the corner. I believe it did, yeah, down on the corridor, somewhere around there.
SPEAKER_01Oh, wow.
SPEAKER_04I mean, I wasn't alive, I just I've seen photos and I could have sworn New Orleans had one of them. Unfortunately. Unfortunately.
SPEAKER_01When we got there, it was 18 years old, so I'd have been down there at 17 years, 11 months, 29.
SPEAKER_02Of all the places New Orleans would make sense to have that kind of location.
SPEAKER_04I mean, look, look what Burber Street's known for is given given what New Orleans is, Grant would have been in there at 14 because they'd have looked at your driver's license and gone, yeah, go ahead in. They wouldn't have cared. I mean, that was pretty much New Orleans and what it was.
SPEAKER_02That was pretty much most of Louisiana up until like 1999.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Yeah. But it's fair. But I don't know. That might have been a little too uh uh sophisticated for New Orleans style. Not back then. Because you had what you had uh you had clubs in what, Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York.
SPEAKER_04I know you had them there. I could have sworn they had one in New Orleans. We'll we'll double check it. We'll have to check that out. I'm curious to see what it is. Dude, we grew up in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. I mean, what dude doesn't know? Okay. I mean, I'm sorry, we weren't all flocking to Play Girl like you were. Anyway, look at the club. Let's go with the cover of Playgirl 2002. All right, so the the 86 reference, Grant. The 86 reference. If you worked in a restaurant, Caleb, I don't think you ever worked in a restaurant. I did.
SPEAKER_02I did. They didn't put me up front, but I did.
SPEAKER_04Okay. So, Paul, you worked in a restaurant. He's nodding his head. Can somebody Tell me what 86 meant. Paul, can you tell us what 86 meant? Yeah, scratch it. Scratch it, which meant what was another word in the kitchen that they would use for it when they would tell servers 86, whatever.
unknownSay 86.
SPEAKER_04They'd say 86.
SPEAKER_02Do you all really know where 86 comes from? Or they'd say kill it. Yeah, you know where 86 comes from for that kind of thing? No. Six foot deep, eight foot long. That's the size of a hole that you put a body in.
SPEAKER_04Well then wouldn't it be 68?
SPEAKER_02Because you just said six eight feet. Eight feet long, six feet. Okay. Yeah, so when you dig a grave, it's eighty-six.
SPEAKER_03You don't go six feet down and then start going sideways.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, when you dig a grave, that's how you dig it. Also, similar, that's how you dig a fighting position.
SPEAKER_01Very interesting. So yeah, to uh to clear up the confusion, to in in restaurant lingo, it is the is said to eliminate, correct? To leave off. Correct. But it is also, over the years, in cinematic terms, has meant eliminate or kill. Correct.
SPEAKER_04Well, even in restaurants, I mean, in the 90s, they'd say kill whatever, kill, kill the fish of the day because we're out.
SPEAKER_01We 86 it. Exactly. We know what the restaurant terminology was, but we also know the other uses for the word. Correct. For the saying.
SPEAKER_04You don't have to be a rocket scientist, and this is the point to figure out what the term 86 means.
SPEAKER_02I think like probably 86% of the population knows what it means.
SPEAKER_03Well but only 20% know that.
SPEAKER_04It's valid, yeah. It it apparently needed to be researched by a very specific person because look, the whole 86-47 James Comey investigation, I don't think that's going away. I think that investigation is going to stick because y'all might remember a former director of the FBI posted on his Instagram a picture of the beach with the letters 86-47. Out of seashells. Correct. Out of on the beach.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04And claimed, tried to claim, oh, that it didn't mean kill the current president, right? As our current president is often referenced as 47. And a lot of people are saying, oh, you can't possibly. That's just dumb. You can't prove. As our favorite internet person would say, hold up. Wait a minute. Because now the communications are coming out. Some of those communications look awfully damning.
SPEAKER_02Well, I mean, and look, how stupid do you think we really are?
SPEAKER_04Well, this is the point. The left believes that you are actual morons. Yeah, well, yes, they do. And they believe that we are morons.
SPEAKER_02Yes, the the left, the far left believes that uh I I can't figure out which hand to wipe with and that I struggle. Right. And you don't know what the three shells are for. Yeah, I mean, the three C shells are very difficult. Uh but they think that we're all that stupid, and and there are some of them, very few, that I'll have conversations with, and they're like, Well, I don't mean that about you, Caleb. I'm like, well, no, but you'll generalize me with everything else, but being stupid isn't one of them. Well, yeah, no, no, you're different. But when I try to generalize them, they get all upset and then they get upset that I don't see it the same way. That's how this is. This is someone who's saying, Well, yeah, everyone else is stupid, but you're you're catching on. You're come on, you're catching on. But everyone else is dumb. And if they really think we're that ignorant, well, then they're really that ignorant.
SPEAKER_04I think there's a a little bit of a sleight of hand that's attempted here. And this is what the left does with language all the time. The left likes to take words and put them out there and go, oh no, that's not what we meant. We were trying to be all nice and kind and caring. We didn't mean try to assassinate a sitting president. They try to use plausible deniability as their scapegoat. And therein lies the problem, which is now they're getting their bluff called, especially when you can prove that that's not what they were doing.
SPEAKER_01Grant. I agree wholeheartedly with that assessment. I dug up an old interview where somebody on MS, nobody gives a crap, uh, had had Comey on, and he flat out admitted this is the week that my book was coming out. So I think it was it was several pronged for him because he said he was walking down the beach with his wife and came upon this. And as they looked at it, his wife, who used to work in the service industry many, many moons ago, told him what the reference to 86 was. Which is service industry, which service industry did she rush in? Yeah, that's not true. You sure? Anyway. But but it's multi-prong again because he he was trying to get attention for his book. So it it there's no better publicity, free publicity for your book than to put your name all over the news for the 8647 Post.
SPEAKER_04But I love what you said, and what you said was part and parcel to proving that he was lying, that he was not telling the truth. Because you said, according to him, he happened upon it upon the beach. And this is why the government documents that have been released and been unredacted, please don't believe us, please go look this up, prove that Jim Comey is a lying liar. Here's how we know because communications between he and his wife days before and leading up to this incident, are talking about what? They're talking about what the term 86 means and confirming what it means in a text conversation.
SPEAKER_01Right. And he made it sound like they innocently came across it, so his wife had to explain what the Seashell uh formation meant.
SPEAKER_04But the problem was they were having conversations about this days before he allegedly came across it. How dare you think that the director of the FBI would lie? I mean, come on. Hey, just so you know, Caleb, no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute Hillary Clinton for what she's done with her emails and the servers. So we're saying there's nothing to see here.
SPEAKER_01But look, like I said, it's it's multi-pronged. Because if if that little message that he just happened to come across hits the right lunatic the right way out somewhere in the public, like crooks. It plants a seed. Yeah, it it it it sets that person in motion. What do you mean, the right lunatic?
SPEAKER_04The dude has enough followers that all it has to do. Okay, the left lunatic three-quarters of his followers, and now all of a sudden he's got something viral that helps push his book. Thank you for bringing that up.
SPEAKER_02Well, and look, people we're we should be frustrated by this. And people should be frustrated by if it was 86, 45, 46, 47, any of it, we should all be just as upset, right? Because this is this is not the behavior that we should expect from the director of the FBI. Agreed.
SPEAKER_03So all I could think of really was Elizabeth Warren, whenever she was doing a podcast or whatever. Coca Hannes? Yeah, with the drinking of beer and her husband walks in, you want a beer? And like he didn't know what was going on. Like it's so how out of touch every single person in the government is. They have no idea what normal people do. And and honestly, I'll believe it when I see it because they jab COVID up our ass way faster than I've seen anything else ever happen. Like anybody getting in trouble.
SPEAKER_04So here's first of all, I love what you bring out. And you bring out something that I don't know that they're out of touch, I think they're arrogant. I think the elitist attitude believes at such a level that they operate or they think they operate so far beyond anyone in the American public that they can say something and people will automatically swallow whatever is put in their mouths. And this is why I say that. This goes back to reality TV. You want to see reality TV, you want to see reality broadcast, this is us. And yes, Caleb, I made that reference on purpose. I'm holding it in, I'm holding it together. I'm not touching that one either. Man, I've got so many that I just can't do because we are on some sort of, you know, respectable broadcast. Anyway, you want reality TV. This is literal reality TV. The only thing we do is send out topics a few days before the show, and we sit here, and this is as real as you're gonna get. None of this is overly scripted. The monologue is the only thing that I write out prior to starting the show. Takes them four hours. But that's me. Oh god, it probably takes me more than that.
SPEAKER_03With Crayon, right?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, yeah. I'm not a Marine. I was talking about someone the other day, though.
SPEAKER_02That someone I was talking to. Just for you, Sabatier. It was yesterday, day before. They were like, Well, how much of the show is scripted? I'm like, Well, we send out topics. That's it. So, like, when you get this kind of conversation, this is genuine conversation.
SPEAKER_04But here's the bigger problem: the American populace has been conditioned to believe that reality TV is real and spontaneous. It's not. It's not real and spontaneous. So when when Big Chief Wampum Ass walks in, right? Because he's married to Pocahontas and says, Oh, I had no idea you were here. Oh, I'm sorry. You didn't see the 15 people crawling around your house all day setting up lighting and microphones and the set so that everything looks perfect, and then you pretend like nothing's going on and you had no idea this was happening in your home. Don't give me that line of garbage. You knew. You were told what your cue was to walk in through the door and act surprised. This is the sad part about where we are. And I believe this is what Comey was trying to take advantage of. When you say it's double prong, there's a financial incentive. There is the incentive that I think is even worse than just the notoriety and his desire to get one lunatic to go, oh yeah, we should assassinate the president. I think it's this. I think the other factor of that is I'm gonna keep feeding it to the people who believe it so I can keep them hooked. Because if I tell the lie enough, people are going to say, well, this is the truth. And that to me is the big problem. And that's why I am praying that we see a full-on prosecution of this as opposed to just the release of documents and proof that he's a liar. I'd love to see legitimate cuffs on this wing.
SPEAKER_02It confuses me so much because when you look back at when we were founded, right, as a nation, our founding fathers said don't trust the government. Right? When you look back in in the 30s and 40s, the politicians then said don't trust the government. When we look back at the 60s, the far left was mainly saying, Don't trust the government. And now, when we're all trying to say don't trust the government, people on the left are saying we should trust the government.
SPEAKER_04Well, what's crazy to me, and this is how this ties into the monologue, where we have a man problem. The same men that created stories like Star Wars, where literally you had the rebellion fighting the overreaching government of the empire, where you had rage against the machine, which has now become rage for the vaccine, right? I mean, what happened to you? Did you buy into the system? Because now we have done a poor job of teaching our young men, don't trust them. I mean, literally, at least we had public enemy, don't trust it, right? I mean, at least they put it out there. And it's gonna tie into a story we have later on on this week's episode because I think maybe the man problem is solving itself. We're gonna come back. Another great story. Final segment of hour one of this week's episode of Implicit Bias right after this. Implicit Bias Radio, final segment. Hour one. I'm your host, Gabon Bordelon. We are sampling a beautiful blue weekly whiskey from our weekly whiskey partners at New News Markets, Youngsville Scott, Milton Maurice, part of the Implicit Bias Liquor Collective. Grant Galatis did not go through the window. However, we did break glass here in the TSPL. Love it.
SPEAKER_01Someone tried to 86 him.
SPEAKER_04Correct.
SPEAKER_01Just giving a nice visual representation of one of the stories.
SPEAKER_04No, you know what that was? I just happened upon that on the on the floor of the TSPL. Somebody had just put it there. Yeah. I didn't have I had nothing to do with that, I promise. Nothing. All right. So we're gonna go ahead and talk about this because we kind of teased it in the last segment. And we've got some stuff for the end of the show, which will always kind of be a little more fun. But when we talk about having a man problem, one of the things that we have constantly said on this show is that we didn't do a great job, maybe even in our generation, of ensuring that the young men that we raised don't trust the government. We needed to teach that, and societally, I think maybe that got skipped. The area where we kind of all grew up did a pretty good job of not trusting the government, but I think maybe we did a better job than we thought. Why do I say that? I say that because for the first time in what, 36 years, Allison Chains is back on the billboard charts. It is a massive, massive entry of grunge back into the zeitgeist of the American male that hard testosterone fueled rock and roll might be back.
SPEAKER_03I I take full responsibility for that.
SPEAKER_04And how and why would you do that? You gotta turn that microphone.
SPEAKER_03Because uh my kids they play PlayStation and they um put their music on so that they all can hear in their chats, and it's they got into the grunge and you know.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, yeah. No, look, my my son is a musician, and I don't know what we did right, but at 10, when he started taking drum lessons, so we are talking 2016. I believe what he told his drum instructor was modern music offends my ears. I like real music like ACDC, like Allison Chains, like Led Zeppelin. I I mean, for those who don't know and for those who've never heard the story, the opening bump music of this show and the closing bump music of this show is Led Zeppelin's version of When the Levy Breaks. That's in partial tribute to my son because that is his type of music. So I almost wonder a couple of things. Number one, and Caleb, you have one who's still in high school. Yep. Is the young American male on his way back? I look, I hope so. Mine are.
SPEAKER_02And I I think that we here in the room are raising hires to be the kind of people we are. Except for you, Walker, you're not there yet.
SPEAKER_04Uh nobody would want that. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02When you look at like Man in the Box is is like the number 24 right now. Yep. And that's a song about government overreach, about censorship, about being kept under the thumb. And when we look at what our government is doing and what it's been doing for the past 40, 50 years, that's all it's been doing is government's been growing and growing and growing to where before we're long we're gonna have more government than we do people being governed.
SPEAKER_01We can thank the Democrats for this one, actually. Because with the last election, uh Trump did so well with young males. Young males got so disenfranchised with how they were represented in the media, in television shows, in everything and anything. They realized it and they brought it to the forefront themselves when they wheeled Tim Waltz out, uh, putting a shotgun shell incorrectly and leaning under the hood of his truck and pretending like he could actually fix something. So it was the Democrats with their toxic male message that actually helped Trump with the election and and brought all of this back to the forefront. So, yeah, I hope everybody goes grunge again because we we could use a little shot of testosterone.
SPEAKER_04So I said this in the in the monologue that the toxic masculinity moniker, it's nothing more than a caricature at this point. I mean, at one time we thought about actually naming this show Toxic Masculinity to make fun of the term. Because at the end of the day, don't get me wrong, you've got guys who are bad people. You've got women who are bad people, you've got women who murder their kids and want none of the blame for it, right? And I'm not saying guilty, innocent things don't happen, didn't get medical support. They're all different things. But my point is you have bad people everywhere. But calling masculinity toxic was the beginning of the end for the left, I believe, because to your point, Grant, they created us. They created our sons who are now like, I want nothing to do with the crazy. I want what my parents have, which is a stable family that I am willing to go out, be a bullet shield for, sacrifice for, and be a consumable commodity to make sure that that way of life still exists.
SPEAKER_02Well, look at how few young men and women are getting married today, right? Because young men are tired of being the whipping boy of the world. They're tired of being held at blame for everything whenever they're called for for help for everything. Look at our sons. Look at our sons that we have that we have and how they interact and how the world is with them. I apologize to my kids. I say, I'm sorry that I'm raising you the way they am because the world's gonna be hard. It's gonna be really difficult for you because you're I'm raising you the way that I should have been raised. I'm raising you in in the I'm raising you the way that I believe the Bible says you should be raised. I'm raising you to have conviction and spine. I'm raising you to be a provider and not take gumption, not take lip to be the man that they should that you should be. If the left, if toxic masculinity was really a thing, you wouldn't have ladies. Well, yeah. You wouldn't have calendars of firemen, soldiers, policemen, construction workers, and all that. You would have, hey, how how many of your wives, and you can talk about Kennedy on this too, how many of them do you think would say, I want to buy the sexy dentist, uh, the sexy dentist calendar this year? None. Because it doesn't exist. Because women don't sit down and fantasize about an accountant. They want cowboys, they want oil field workers, they want construction men, they want men that have emotion, men that have pride, men that are willing to get down and dirty. That's what they want. You're gonna say yes, aren't you? You're gonna say you want to accountant calendar, Walker. I see it.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, Walker wants the accountant calendar, not Kennedy. The crazy part of all of this goes to, I think, beyond what you're actually saying. Because if you think about the paradox that is toxic masculinity, it's not just that you wouldn't have the Chippendales at one time for the ladies who know what Chippendales were. And Chris Farley did a fantastic job with that skit on Saturday Night Live. You wouldn't have the left at all. Because if you had truly toxic masculinity, those men would have stomped you out, lit you on fire, and laughed all the way to the bank, taking your lunch money and everything you could possibly have, because that's what truly toxic masculinity is, right? Those are just bad people. It's not bad masculinity and machismo, as many cultures would put it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but we've we've kind of been in that transition era because it's not necessarily that they were killers and and and molesters and abusers, because you had the the era of John Wayne and you had the era, remember Sean Connery, I think it was Bill Byrd, a comedian, who said uh Sean Connery, he he came up and he was doing an interview with Barbara Walters. He was like, Well, I was from the age where you just give him a slap.
SPEAKER_04Go look this up. It's a fantastic. I say it's a fantastic. It's a really interesting interview because he literally clearly defines what his perception of how it was a sign of gender should be treated, and when people step outside of their lines. Like he probably would have argued that a man who steps past his boundaries should probably be slapped by a woman. He says, look, that turnabout is fair play. Now, should we hit women? No, I I do not believe that we should hit women.
SPEAKER_01That's my point, because we're in the transition period where it was that's the way it was. She gets crazy, she gets out of her head, just give her a little pop back into reality. And but that's just the that was somewhat the norm. So thank goodness we've transitioned to where we've realized, yeah, you you just don't do that.
SPEAKER_04No. On the same hand, we went so far, the pendulum swung so far in the other direction that it got out of balance, right? Absolutely. And if you don't have that balance between the masculine and the feminine, and the feminine outruns it, or the masculine outruns it, you have a society that is not in a good place.
SPEAKER_02Well, we have a society that's afraid of violence right now. Like, look, if your kid gets in a fight at school for and they stand up for someone who's being bullied, your kid, who was the hero, is going to get suspended or expelled because of zero tolerance. If your kid fights back against a bully, your kid is still gonna get suspended. And that's dumb as that. We've stripped it down so much that common sense doesn't exist anymore. Like, am I saying it's okay to fight? Yes. Yes, I am. If there's a reason for it, is it okay to slap somebody for nothing? No. But you should have principles, you should have morals, you should have something you're willing to die and fight for. And if you don't, then you'll die and fight for nothing and anything. And you will sit at home at 38 years old.
SPEAKER_04And not your home, your parents asking mom for more meatloaf. Ma, meatloaf, right? Worried about the fact that your Nintendo might not be charged, waiting on that check from somewhere to support you, instead of doing what we are supposed to do as biblical men. The Bible says if a man doesn't work, he shouldn't eat. Which is lead your family, provide for your family, protect your family. That is the loss that we have experienced in the last. And it's crazy how quickly it's happened because I really believe it accelerated from 2008 to 2026. That to me was the great turning point of where this really started to take hold was 2008, when all of a sudden the enemy of everyone was the man who stands up to try and protect others.
SPEAKER_02Well, that's the same man they asked for for help. That's the same man they asked to answer the call, to go overseas, to to what I use the term fight the enemy, to pay the bills, to do all this other. We have a world that just grows. Glorifies being a stay-at-home baby popper outer. Not a mom. You're just a baby factory that collects a check from the government and her baby daddy. Not your husband, your baby daddy. And we have eroded the fact that a true marriage based upon biblical love and affection for one another and joint responsibility is the wrong thing. And that's not just the erosion of masculinity, that's the erosion of femininity as well.
SPEAKER_04I think the statistic, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, is that roughly 50-ish percent of young children or of under the age 18 will grow up in an incomplete family unit. And that that is a crime maybe greater than most of what we see happen today in the halls in DC. If you do not get hour two of implicit bias radio, call your radio station, call your TV station. Tell them, hey, we want more implicit bias radio. Why? Because we want to see you in seven, or because hour two is always more fun on implicit bias radio. Cheers. Hour two of implicit bias radio is always more fun. Why? Because the weekly whiskey's been flowing, some problems of the world have been solved. And yes, we are gonna come up with more stupid stuff to talk about. I am your host, Gavon Bordelon. And yes, we are in the Mr. Lester's TSPL. We've got Caleb Morse. He is the Rustic Renegade, who apparently is now excited. Anyway, whiskey. Well, you do like your whiskey, and thank goodness that's the only thing you're excited about. All right, the bar, we've got Grant Galatis of William S. Nake Hall jewelers, who does big a bet of diamonds for less. Yes, stand up, Grant, because apparently the issue that we had with the chair here, um, you almost went through a window. That was impressive.
SPEAKER_01If if I had to put money on it, I would have better have been in the second hour. Yeah. Until I lost balance.
SPEAKER_04I I would agree, but no, that one uh thank goodness you didn't go completely through the window. We're glad to hear that. Paul Sabatier of Superior AV, it's good to have you back with us. Hope you're enjoying being here.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I had to save Grant. You rushed in and tried to give him mouth to mouth, too. I was impressed by that.
SPEAKER_04Which just begs one question. It begs one question. You saved Grant. Why? No, I'm kidding. K B. All right, he is KB from Kennebra. All right. There is a computing system. Like, there's a lot of talk on the internet about like Web3 protocols and things of this nature that will make things more secure, that it will be able to tokenize everything. And then there's this discussion of quantum computing. It's tied heavily into cryptocurrencies because you're now hearing people say quantum computers can break Bitcoin codes and things of that nature. Well now you've kind of got to break through. Please don't believe us on this. The story is out there that there exists potentially an internet without the full internet quantum entanglement to send information over a geographic space without using the radioactive Wi-Fi signal.
SPEAKER_02I'm learning so much reading about this. Like I didn't realize the difference between a quantum quantum computer and a regular computer, right? So regular computer speaks binary, zero and ones. Quantum speaks in qubits, which is a combination or a correlation of zero and ones at the same time. So when we look at quantum internet, it's transferring information via photons, not electrons. Correct. That's wild.
SPEAKER_04Like that is ridiculous when you think about it. And here's the deal. So for those who don't know, just the natural atmosphere has photons all over the place. So as it transmits information via photon, you don't need necessarily a Wi-Fi or internet signal to transfer said information. Or a wire. Well, obviously, you don't need a wire. But what I'm talking about is right now, think about the ways that we transfer most information.
SPEAKER_03That inform but that information is just wireless to your house or wireless to the tower. There's network lines from your house to the central station, which then goes to the hub and everywhere. Like the wires are the main part of your Wi-Fi.
SPEAKER_02Well, and when you look at quantum internet, quantum computing, and what we have now, like for what we do for the most part, your regular computer is a better suited tool. Where quantum computing would be better for like molecular drafts and very complex things because of the data it consumes and the way that it communicates. So when you look at HDMI cables and everything else, how we how we transfer that kind of data and we set up your TVs and all that kind of stuff, what we have works really well. The technology isn't there for the consumer yet to really need or have a good application for quantum computing or quantum internet at that point, either.
SPEAKER_04Much like the consumer didn't need a flat screen HD TV 26 years ago, but they were starting to roll out. They were $20,000 for a 46-inch plasma TV that today you can buy light years better technology for $500 at your local big box store.
SPEAKER_02And Paul, like when we look at a TV, right? Like some of the big TVs that you that are get installed, some of the stereos and that kind of stuff you do, do you what's the the typical uh like do we really use a 4K TV?
SPEAKER_03Does everything get transmitted in 4K? No. No. There's barely anything actually gets transmitted in 4K. Even with your streaming technology, you you they're they're reducing audio sounds, video quality so that it can get there to you faster so it doesn't spin. Um even even if you got a a CD, it would still reduce a lot of um a lot of uh the noise. The highs and lows to kind of cut off that that extra stuff so that you can fit it all on even a CD. But I I I think it's actually interesting. Because if if you can do that, if you don't need the wires, you don't need the the the the the the go through it, that that's kind of what crypto is. Crypto is randomized about people certifying something. So if you can do it over the airwaves, then it's just a bunch of freaking information flying everywhere. It's really hard to pinpoint, like, oh, we got to get it from his house here. It's just floating around.
SPEAKER_04This is Willy Wonka in the chocolate factory when he did the TV and he minimized Mike, right? The the kid, I'm on TV. Correct, yeah, Mike TV. That was the kid's name. I mean, and you saw the particles flying overhead. It's essentially that without the radiation that's needed to put these signals out there over the airwaves. You you can't. Absolutely. But I'm reading now is when it talks about this type of technology. I mean, this is significantly farther down the road than just a high depth terrestrial TV signal.
SPEAKER_02And what I'm reading about now is quantum entanglement. So quantum entanglement is think of it as like a permanent bond, right? So we the quantum computers or individuals, you have all of us here have some kind of quantum entanglement. I'm gonna use that term. We have a permanent bond where we have a shared memory, right? And it's built upon this experience right now. So regardless if we separate or not, we still have that same shared memory. That's the way quantum computing works, is it has a shared memory of an interface at that period of time and can still transmit to that same type of quantum computer over distance and doesn't need the physical connection anymore because of the permanent entanglement, even after separation?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I know. We don't understand, even pretend to begin to understand quantum entanglement because you can have a particle on the other side of the galaxy, and when you make a change to one, there's an instant change in the other one once they are entangled.
SPEAKER_04Which brings me to the question of is this the universal consciousness that we have heard about, thought about, that there is a single human consciousness that ties us into all knowledge on the planet? Because some people will say, I mean, we know the CIA did remote viewing experiments. We know that the government did out-of-body experiment experience experiments on with human beings, and they've all come back and basically said there is a single source of knowledge in the world, right?
SPEAKER_01It's a source field, and it's a force field. It's source, a source field. I'm messing with the which some people relate to to that energy being God. Correct. You if uh uh it's funny you bring this up because I've been reading a lot about this. Uh Itzak Bentoff is the guy's name swing uh uh stalking the wild pendulum. Look it up. Uh he went to go make this public, and his plane just happened to fall out of the sky.
SPEAKER_03Oh no.
SPEAKER_01I was about to say, I was like, we probably not gonna see this. How convenient. I mean, that that sounds like he might have had it. So cool that you brought this up.
SPEAKER_04You sure he didn't just have like bad information on Hillary Clinton?
SPEAKER_01Because we've talked a little bit about it before, too, and uh he talked about uh kundalini yoga. Yes. The the the resonance that you're gonna do. Shock moves and frequency, yes. We that there's a uh a source field around your body that resonates two to three feet out out from within your body. Uh think about uh pendulums. You can take a hundred pendulums and they all they all sink. Wait. But you put them within within range of each other, and eventually they will all they they're they experience resonance. Now you really want fun?
SPEAKER_04Go look at what was done to music right after World War II. Music was retuned to a different Hertz, right? And I I want to make sure I get these right. I I have them bookmarked, I just need to go find it.
SPEAKER_01What the Hertz 7.63 with the earth it went from so that's the Schumann resonance.
SPEAKER_04It went it went from like 432 to 442. They retuned all music because the the resonance and the frequency that music was tuned to was a healing potentially or beneficial frequency to the human body. I mean, look, this this goes deep.
SPEAKER_02It all goes off vibration, well, and how everything is all in tune and part of one faster design.
SPEAKER_04This goes really deep because now, if you start asking the question about what frequencies are out there, you start asking the question why did they destroy all the church bells in World War II? Why did they take all the church bells out? What frequency was a church bell tuned to? And what did that do? There's, I mean, the the frequency part of this as we start getting into quantum entanglement is a it's a deep rabbit hole.
SPEAKER_01It it really is. And and Bentoff, this is not a whack job individual. This guy, he created the the uh cardiac catheter. Okay. And and he was he was very familiar with all the harmonics between your brain, the resonating field, your heart, your spine. You gotta uh Caleb, you would love this stuff. I'll I'll send you some links to some of the stuff I've been reading. It's it's fascinating. But look at look at all the with the frequencies. Look at look at all of the you put the sand on a on a plate and expose it to different frequencies and the geometric patterns that emerge uh by themselves, just when exposed to these frequencies, it's it's fascinating. But then you you bring in all of the the double slit experiment and all of that stuff, Kavan, where they say consciousness creates reality because the particles, the smallest particles of matter, when you shoot them through the the double slits. They behave one way. And then when you view them, when you view them, they act like you think they should, but when not being viewed. So your consciousness actually makes these the smallest particles of matter behave.
SPEAKER_04So it was it was 432 hertz. Music was tuned to 432 hertz, it was retuned to 440 hertz. So everything produced. I mean, there's even the what who who did the song Ring My Bell? Like there's discussions around that song being tuned out of the traditional frequency that music had been retuned to. And yeah, it's it's incredibly interesting to me to see all the technology changes that we will see in our lifetime, including down to small thermonuclear reactors that will be portable, that will be accessible for industrial use or small subdivision use. And the fun part is the the nuclear energy department for the United States government put this out on their social media. Hey, we now have one that's basically the size of a car. It'll fuel 10 homes for something like 50 years before it needs to be refueled.
SPEAKER_02And look, for all of us that now have 700 to $1,000 electric bills because of nonsense, right? This this would be a great thing for us to invest in.
SPEAKER_04We're all gonna need Doc Brown from Back to the Future to hijack some, you know, some uranium in order for us to do this. But it this is this is on the verge.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, y'all's thoughts are all wrong. We all get superpowers. You know, cool.
SPEAKER_04That's the cool part. Which one will I get? I believe yours is gonna be flatulence. I thought I didn't go 10 with her action. I already got that superpower. But the crazy part about that release from the US government's one of their Twitter sites, that was from 2021. That is five years old. That they said we are developing portable nuclear power plants, whether it be for disaster relief, whether it be for military use, whether it be for industrial use. Five years ago they said we're close, and then all of a sudden, crickets. I wonder why.
SPEAKER_01Well, conceptually, it's the same thing as the guy who created the car that runs on what? Water vapor. Correct. Right? Once once you have something like this that is gonna make our lives more efficient, make uh life easier and less expensive, those people tend to evaporate.
SPEAKER_02Well, that's when when you look at this, when they talk about thermonuclear power, that's what it is. Your depleted uranium, your energy rods, they don't just they generate energy, but they generate heat. Correct. That heat is used to boil water, which is used to roll and turn a turbine, which then generates electricity, and all the waste you have, as opposed to now where we have diesel or coal, uh, all the waste you have is that one isotope of uranium. Much easier to transport.
SPEAKER_04It is clean energy, it's as clean as clean can get. And on top of that, these are safe. They are they've got their own control systems to them. I mean, you're not looking at, you know, it's not Chernobyl.
SPEAKER_01It said it's self-regulating.
SPEAKER_04Correct. So that's why when you look at these, you're going, man, the ability to do this, and this is to me the extrapolation of this idea. I love Grant when you said make life cheaper. Think about what this planet would look like if energy was free. Think about how little you would have to work if you weren't paying for energy, whether it's the lights, whether it's the AC if you live in the south, whether it's the heat that, you know, and you live in the north, whether it's the energy that goes into your car. I mean, just extrapolate the energy that it takes to get the truck full of food to your grocery store to keep the lights on and the AC there. We are an energy-centric and dependent economy.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. And it puts out 1.21 gigawatts. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_041.20. So we can hit 88 miles an hour and go pump straight back. I don't know that it's 1.21 gigawatts. It's like one that was straight up back to the future. 1.21 gigawatts. Let's see what it says. No, it but it does. It puts out enough energy that it doesn't need to be, I think it doesn't need to be refueled for like 10 years.
SPEAKER_03What do you refill it with?
SPEAKER_04Uranium. Seriously. Do we have to like you have to replace the uh a new uranium core to it?
SPEAKER_03Because it usually that's you gotta constantly cool it, and then if it gets out of a containment center, then it's killed.
SPEAKER_02The small ones produce one, and then the functioning models they have now, 20 megawatts of thermal energy. One to twenty megawatts. I would like to say megawatts.
SPEAKER_04You just want to say mega. Anyway, the they'd obviously have to build a system to get rid of whatever waste does come out of it. But if you think about the localization of this and the ability, I would love nothing more than to buy about 40 acres, have some select people buy one of these things and never pay an electric company ever in my life for heat for electricity. This is real off the grid. And this might be the even bigger thing, grant. The data centers, even this might be even bigger, though, than things becoming cheaper, you become fully independent of any other infrastructure. Real freedom?
SPEAKER_01That's why it won't happen.
SPEAKER_04Don't threaten me with a good time.
SPEAKER_01I can see it being utilized in in a town area or or the localized small communities and stuff. But for what you're talking about, another another rabbit hole is solar. If if you get how many ever acres you want and you and you build a little house or whatever, and you put and you put the solar panels on, that's that's that's even your lifespan of your solar panels are 10 to 12 years if they're maintained properly.
SPEAKER_02And then the lead acid or lithium battery packs you have to have. Solar is a massive drain, and the amount of copper and waste that's produced never breaks even. Oh, nuclear is so much cleaner and so much more efficient. Solar and wind never break even. Wind is is even worse because the continued hydraulic, all fluids, lubricants, uh, the turbines themselves cannot be broken down, they're non-biodegradable, they have to be destroyed. The noise. And yeah, the amount of dead birds and all that it creates. Solar, the amount of acreage you have to have, like let's say you own 10 acres. If you want to have a true independent solar farm, you're gonna have two and a half acres of solar panels and all the metal and everything else covering that to where it's non-usable.
SPEAKER_04So, this is what we're gonna do. We're gonna get a compound, we're gonna buy a small nuclear, personal nuclear power plant. We're not gonna have any internet because everything is gonna be quantumly entangled, and we're gonna bring you on to more of this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. Hour two of Implicit Bias Radio rolls on. I'm your host, Kavan Bordelon. Welcome back into the Mr. Lester's T S P L and Mr. Lester's Man has a deal for you. I thought you were gonna say the meats. Well, they have they have the best steak. The only five-star restaurant between New Orleans and Houston. Maybe the best steakhouse I've ever been in.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I mean, when you think about everything that you get there between the quality of meat, the quality of service, the quality of liquor, and the ability to smoke a pipe or cigar.
SPEAKER_04In the cigar lounge and in the cigar dining room.
SPEAKER_03I concur.
SPEAKER_04Absolutely fantastic. And by the way, you want to know what kind of stuff they do? They do stuff like a Colonel Taylor flight in the month of August. Three pours. Colonel Taylor small batch, Colonel Taylor rye, and Colonel Taylor single barrel, uncut, unfiltered, for take a guess how much Paul Sabatier.
SPEAKER_03Five dollars.
SPEAKER_04$25. No. $25 for the for the flight.
SPEAKER_03I mean I haven't listened, so I don't know.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, well, that's that sounds like it's a you problem. It's a new problem. Yes. But that's okay. No, I mean, seriously, you're where are you gonna find where are you gonna find those three pours for $25?
SPEAKER_03Nowhere. Maybe one pour.
SPEAKER_04I mean, if if you get just the single barrel uncut, unfiltered in most restaurants, it's gonna be more than $25. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02I mean, you're you're looking probably $40 a pour for that.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. And they are doing a flight of the three for $25 during the month of August. You know what else they found, Caleb? I think they found like a case or two of implicit barrel. So if you're looking for a bottle, yes, if you were looking for a bottle of implicit barrel, the single barrel $17.92, we were a part of the pick and we were thrilled to be a partner with Mr. Lester's on that barrel. I think there's like maybe eight, nine bottles left. They've got a few. You can get them in the restaurant for 50 bucks. You can get them in the gift shop. What, as Eddie Murphy would say, what the bargain? Talk about a great bottle for the price.
SPEAKER_02Ridiculously great bottle.
SPEAKER_04What were we going to talk about this segment? Because we had something fun, Top. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you. Ring the bell. All right. So it appears the conspiracy theorists were right yet again, Grant Galatus. Yet again. So Joe Dijenova is running the investigation into How do you say that name? DJ Nova, I believe.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_04What you know, that works for me. That's good. DJ Nova, you. Anyway, Joe DJ Nova is running the investigation into what has been deemed a spy gate. Basically, what many believe, including some here in the Mr. Lester's top secret podcast layer, was an illegal raid of a former president's home looking for documents that that president said, Hey, I have every right to have these because they're mine. They were by my Corvette. No, they weren't in his Corvette like Joe Biden, who had no idea that he had a Corvette at the time.
SPEAKER_02Anyway, like most Corvette owners.
SPEAKER_04D Genova. D Genova has apparently issued invitations to FBI agents who were involved in the process of approving and executing the raid on a former president's home. Thoughts in the TSPL.
SPEAKER_02It they are voluntary. Voluntary questionings, not interrogations. Is it really it's not really a subpoena? It's like, hey, we're not mandating that you come here. But we're requesting sternly. Wait, you're dating men? Only on Thursdays.
SPEAKER_04Okay, you said mandating. Okay. Anyway. Here's my question. For those who have worked for large companies, employers that that aren't yourself. We've been all given quote invitations. Close quote. They don't really invitations, are they? No, it's it's it's highly recommended. Correct. Highly recommended that you come in. So the the denotation, the definition of this is that it is voluntary. What's the connotation? What's the inference here?
SPEAKER_03If you don't come, you're gonna get forced to come. Rather. Yeah, see, even Sabatier gets it, right?
SPEAKER_04Which is Which is we're gonna tell you this is voluntary. You can either come in and do this to yourself, or we're gonna make you. The real term for that is voluntold. This reminds me of when my father used to say, you can go get the switch, or I will go get the switch.
SPEAKER_01Which do you want? Do they not have enough for a subpoena? Why why go this why they go this softer route if you want to dig into something? Come on in and have a chat, or or how about come sit your ass in a chair? Are we gonna subini? I have a theory.
SPEAKER_04And my theory is this. My theory is that there were a lot of people involved in this raid. I mean, we don't know how many people went into the the presence of the state.
SPEAKER_01Oh, it was a production. It was all over the TV. It was a beautiful production.
SPEAKER_04Wait, say that again. Oh no, it was a production. It was a it was art. It was produced. It was produced, right?
SPEAKER_02It's not like they would hire somebody else to spin a rhetoric or anything.
SPEAKER_04Which means that the median knew it was coming. There were there were probably at a minimum of 50 people involved in the search of Mar a Lago. That's at a minimum.
SPEAKER_02If there were 50 people that were actually there on grounds, you have to think there are three to four per. So that means there were 200 people that were involved with the planning, preparation, and execution of this. So this is my theory.
SPEAKER_04My theory is you have hundreds of people. Some people were doing what they were told to keep their jobs and they were at the lowest level. I don't want to say they're not guilty, but what I do want to say is they're not the mastermind behind the plot. And to me, the goal in this is to number one, not punish anyone who doesn't need undue punishment. I'm not saying that they shouldn't be punished. What I'm saying is maybe their lives shouldn't be effectively ended, like their career ended, their financial situation ended because of this, but maybe they they need a slap on the wrist.
SPEAKER_02You're also basing, you're projecting because you're basing it off the fact that you think the most of them were just complying to save face. I didn't say most. I said some. Well, even some. Look at Ruby Rich. We just had an anniversary of Ruby Rich, right? Agreed. We had ATF agents who shot and killed an innocent woman while holding their child. We had others who shot and killed a young man who was trying to defend himself as they trespassed on his property. So the vast majority of government employees shouldn't be government employees. I'll say that on the radio. I don't disagree. And I think that most of them are there because they could they can't do anything else meaningful in the civilian sector.
SPEAKER_04I think the I think our bar has a bottle with the word that is being offered here by the invitation, and it's redemption. I think they are giving the opportunity. Yeah, Sabody A found the bottle first right away. I think some people are being offered an opportunity at redemption here. And it's look, if you really weren't guilty, if you were really against this and you really would like to have a conversation, come on in. If not, here's the line.
SPEAKER_01It's how any investigation progresses. Agreed. You grab a small fish and squeeze them a little bit and try and get bigger fish, and you just work your way up the ladder. I don't disagree one bit. So come sit down, let's have a chat.
SPEAKER_04I I I think it's that simple. Come in with your attorney, sit down, let's have a chat. They'll tell you what's on the table. I mean, look, this even goes. Do y'all remember when we did the story about Pappy Gate at Buffalo Trace?
SPEAKER_01Yep, yeah, that's a long time ago.
SPEAKER_04So for those who don't know what happened, it's just such an interesting story. The distillery figures out that someone is stealing Pappy Van Winkle. And they believe they have the man who's done it because they have lots of evidence. So they bring people in and say, hey, look, anyone who has any information about what's going on, come on in, have a conversation. We are offering you full immunity. So they bring everybody in, and finally they bring this guy in, and he sits down and they said, Okay, what do you know? And he goes, I'm not sure.
SPEAKER_02Sorry, Elizabeth Warren's killing me in the background.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, I know. They're banging on something outside the TSPL. So this guy says, Look, I want immunity in writing. Fine, you got it. They put 100% immunity in writing. He goes, Man, I'm just glad that y'all can't prosecute me now. I'll tell you everything. I stole all the Pappy Van Winkle. I did all they thought they had the right guy and didn't. And when they offered the immunity, this guy took him up on the offer and could not be prosecuted, and he was the real thief. I get the feeling that you're offering some of that here, hopefully not too much. Because if the person comes in who was the mastermind at that point, you're like, oh.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but they were operating blind because they didn't realize he was the mastermind. And this one you can pretty much, it's it's pretty publicized, so you can pretty much figure who the low-level guys were and just work your way up from there. I don't disagree. It is a little different. That was beautiful. That guy I mean he he he worked it out nicely for himself.
SPEAKER_02What you have to look at at Merilago is a federal judge approved the search warrant based off of what he said was probable cause. And the attorney general, Merrick Garland, said he approved the decisions to go out, seek and pursue this warrant.
SPEAKER_04Oh, Merrick Garland's hands are filthy in this when you start to look at everything that's involved, almost as filthy as Walker is when he comes back from a day at the tire shop. So we're gonna take a break. We're gonna come right back. We will bring you the penultimate segment of this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. The vaccine is not a vaccine on this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. Don't trust us, trust the Ninth Circuit. I'm your host, Gavon Bordelon. Welcome back into the Mr. Lester's TSPL, where we are sipping on a whiskey from New News Market, part of the Implicit Bias Liquor Collective. And yes, we are solving the problems of the world. We're probably four in now. Anyway, Caleb Morse is here. He is the Rustic Renegade. Grant Galatis of William S. Nay called Jewelers, who does Bigabetta Diamonds Philess, is with us. And of course, Paul Sabatier of Superior Audio Video. Superior AV for all of your custom AV needs. Like if you want the stuff and the setup as we get ready for football season, call Superior AV.
SPEAKER_02Okay. Do you do whole whole home intercoms? Like, can I yell at people? I'm on the toilet. I don't think you need it, but yeah. Okay. Well. You could.
SPEAKER_03Hey, who are you to determine what I need? Put speaker out to your neighbor. Okay. We'll have a video transmitter. Just for the faces.
SPEAKER_04All right.
SPEAKER_03All over the nanotechnology.
SPEAKER_04All right. So the Ninth Circuit is making waves. And I don't mean like little waves, I mean like big waves. So one of the big debates during the COVID, I'm gonna use air quotes and call it a pandemic. During COVID was is the vaccine an approved vaccine or is it emergency approval? And what was the big benefit to being an approved vaccine by the US government? Anybody remember what that was? Anybody remember what the big benefit was? Oh, it wasn't money? Oh, I'm sorry. Say that again, Paul. Immunity. What do you mean immunity? Liability, right? I don't know. It just bubble boy pop. He's got no immunity. Okay, so so immunity from lawsuit against liability for side effects for said vaccine. Well, now a lawsuit from Los Angeles argued that the COVID vaccines did not, in fact, function as a vaccine, but in fact did exactly what the messaging said. Because if you remember, those goalposts, they moved. Oh, constantly. Look, they they moved like they moved like an NBA dance team, right? They were all over the place.
SPEAKER_02I was intrigued how they said one of the main side effects of uh this vaccine in particular was uh boiling breast implants. Wait, what? No, I made that up.
SPEAKER_04Okay, I was about to say, I even find that hard to believe. Here's the problem. If you remember, they said take the vaccine, you won't get sick. No, you won't. Then they said, and and they said take the vaccine and nobody else will get sick.
SPEAKER_02Yep, it stops the spread.
SPEAKER_04Correct. Stops the spread. That was the term. Then they said, well, take the vaccine and it won't be as bad. Hold on. As we quoted earlier, hold up. Wait a minute. That by definition is not a vaccine. It is a treatment. But they had to put the vaccine label on it in order to give immunity from liability to the manufacturers. Well, and they couldn't be sued for adverse side effects.
SPEAKER_02The plaintiffs in this case, I'm reading this verbatim, alleged that the COVID vaccines primarily mitigated symptoms rather than effectively preventing transmission, therefore shouldn't receive the same constitutional treatment as a smallpox vaccine mandated, upheld in this other case. And the court accepted the plaintiff's flak factual allegations as fact, as truth. Now, they're not the court didn't say that uh by constitutional definition they weren't vaccines. They said via the way that they were employed and deployed upon the populace, they did not meet the definition of a vaccine in regards to limitation of liability.
SPEAKER_03All that means, though, is that it started there and then it kept going up to different circuits all the way up until it got to the Ninth Circuit.
SPEAKER_04So it started, yes, at a local court. It has gotten to the Ninth Circuit. And trust me, now that the Ninth Circuit has ruled against Big Pharma, this is going to the Supreme Court. This is not done yet. That's why I say according to the Ninth Circuit. Big Pharma is gonna fight this. Why? Because if big pharma is held liable for all side effects, think about the VARES system, the vaccine adverse event reporting system, right? That's what VARES stands for. Think about what we now know, thanks to RFK, about the VARES reporting, and thanks, by the way, to Anthony Fauci, who acknowledged all the VARES reporting in his communications. Think about all the adverse reactions that people had and all the adverse events after receiving the vaccine. Which means that now all of a sudden, the populace would potentially have the ability to go after Big Pharma for damages. This would make the big tobacco suit look like a Judge Wapner dispute on the people's court. I was gonna say night court. It could be night. Yeah, but at least Marky Post looked good. So I mean that that was enjoyable to watch.
SPEAKER_02This would not be. Did COVID really like pull the wool off of most people's eyes? Did they finally wake up and say, well, the government's trying to manipulate you and use you, and you're just a good little taxpayer, and that's all they care about? Because I I think that the majority of people that I talk to, and look, this isn't everyone, but the majority of people that I talk to post-COVID do not trust the government in anything the government says.
SPEAKER_01And and how culpable is the government in all of this? Because Big Pharma, big for look, Big Pharma was acting acting at the behest of the government to get uh some sort of vaccine out to the public because of the scope. So does as usual, does the government say, hey, we got nothing to do with this? Well, here's the problem. They walk away. Please, Scott Free.
SPEAKER_04Please don't believe me on this. But you wonder, is the government culpable or is Big Pharma culpable? Because now there are documents out there, please don't believe us on this, that show payments of millions of dollars to the CDC from Big Pharma. Can the case be made that Big Pharma saw, and look, this is the other part of this. Go look at the projections, the revenue projections from 2016, 2017, 2018 from Big Pharma. And did they include a massive, if not abnormal, chunk of their revenue coming from vaccine platforms? Well, look at all the fact that. So you can make the argument that they planned for it. They bought off government officials in order to keep their protected status so they could make their money.
SPEAKER_02Look at all the local pharmacies that were receiving all these incentives to go out and just give people the stab, right? And they were given the vaccine, and it's billing the government, given the vaccine, billing the government, and doing that nonstop. And all of a sudden, people stopped dying from other natural causes. During COVID, I don't think anyone died of car wrecks. Everyone died of COVID-induced lack of ability to drive, right? Everything was COVID-induced. So COVID-induced pneumonia, COVID-induced gunshot to the head, COVID induced this, COVID induced this case.
SPEAKER_04You did have an incident in the state of Washington where the Washington State Secretary of Health admitted in a news conference that there was a person who was shot, died, and the cause of death was listed as COVID-19. Because that hospital benefited from it.
SPEAKER_03Maybe it was COVID-19 by 19. Yeah. Nine millimeter by 19. There's just too many implications of every every aspect of this. Like, okay, well, your politicians, where do they get their money from? You know, they they have all this out-of-state money coming into politicians' uh accounts because that they want somebody to win. Texas is a perfect example of that. It needs to stop. Like all the the extra the funding of, hey, well, you do this and I do this, and this is it's a back scratch. It's it's they're laundering money. That's all they're doing. And it's it's it's freaking ridiculous.
SPEAKER_04And it's done in the name of lobbying. Yeah, that it's done in the name of campaign contributions, it's done so many ways, and therein lies one of the really big issues, which is first of all, I'm of the opinion you can limit terms for U.S. representatives and senators.
SPEAKER_03Senators shouldn't even be elected by us.
SPEAKER_04I agreed, but you can still limit terms, like you cannot have somebody appointed more than so many years, but yet you up their salaries to a point where they shouldn't have to worry financially ever again.
SPEAKER_03I mean, actually, I think about the money that their salary should be on off of what their average income in their district or state should is, so that they they should be wanting to make their constituents better, more wealthy, whatever, so that they can be.
SPEAKER_04But yet then you're trying to deal with somebody who comes from a relatively low income area that has to live in DC. It's not feasible, right? But if you make the payments three to five million dollars a year per representative per senator, now all of a sudden buying them off becomes a little more difficult. Do you think that's all it would take? Yes. Yes. Because when they're guaranteed six years of five, when you're guaranteed $30 million, are you gonna walk in? It's not necessarily that it makes it that little, it's that it makes people buying you, it makes you that much more expensive to make them that much more expensive to purchase. Correct. $174,000 a year in the Congress. It's not much. You know what else isn't much? The amount of time we have left. They're making more than the average person in their not Hollywood or New York. We will be right back on this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio. Final segment of this week's episode for Implicit Bias Radio. Grant Galatus thinks he's smart at the bar, and he might be smart, but it's never in danger though.
SPEAKER_01Don't worry about it. Fell off a chair a little while ago.
SPEAKER_04Okay. The funny part is it's true. All right. We do need to tell you really quickly in this final segment about a very special happening with regards to implicit bias radio, September 17th. Go get your tickets now because they will not last. There will not be a ton. Tickets are $30 and $50 and $35.
SPEAKER_02You have to buy them in person, too, correct?
SPEAKER_04You do. Tickets are $35.
SPEAKER_02Is it $35 and $50 or it's $35 and $50. $35 and $50. Yep. If you if you buy them through us, they're $125 and $200. Yes. But if you show up in person, $35 and $50. So here is Heaven Hill Night.
SPEAKER_04No, no, they are $30 and $50. Oh, there you go. $30 and $50. $50 is the VIP ticket. This is a tasting at Ambassador Wine and Spirits. You get to sit, sip, and shoot the with the crew. Because the crew will be there. We will have tons of fun. Heaven Hill will be there as well. And you are going to get, and this is subject to change. If it changes, we promise it's changing for the better. I saw that list. Old Fitz 7 year as a taste. Larceny, a barrel pick from Ambassador Wine and Spirits, which means it's going to be a cask strength. The Elijah Craig Sportsman's Paradise Barrelproof. The Heaven Hill grained a glass weeded. The Henry McKenna 10 single barrel and widow Jane Lucky 13. Talk about an offering. And by the way, why is there a $50 VIP ticket with the $50 VIP ticket? You get a bottle.
SPEAKER_02I mean, think and think about it. A bottle of the I don't they didn't say what they're giving out. We don't know exactly what it is just yet, but it's not going to be junk. Yeah, I mean, think about this way. If you buy the $30 ticket, what are you going to get for a good whiskey that's $20? Not much.
SPEAKER_04So you might as well go just get the $50 ticket. And look, it's going to be a fun night, 7 to 9 p.m. at Ambassador Wine and Spirits, September 17th. You have to go to Ambassador Wine and Spirits to buy your tickets, but get them now because they're they're going fast.
SPEAKER_02And look, if you if you're not if you're not local and you want to come hang out with us and have a good time, come down and see the selection that we have done here. Come see what the Katie Anna has to offer. Come see what the the implicit bias whiskey collective puts out there for all of our listeners.
SPEAKER_04It really is something special to see. Speaking of something special.
SPEAKER_02Thank you.
SPEAKER_04Don't flatter yourself. We had tons of fun as we outlined and Grant agreed with how exactly Daniel LaRusso was the bad guy in the Karate Kid, the instigator from the beginning, that he is the one who created all the problems, that Johnny was trying to avoid everything until Daniel sucker punched him, the whole kit and caboodle. Grant, thank you for finally agreeing to that.
SPEAKER_01You are very welcome. I'm glad my eyes were finally opened to that obvious glaring error in cinematic history.
SPEAKER_04The best part of that is the reactions that we have gotten to that have been fantastic. Like we put it out on social media, people going back and forth, and it's it's always fun because these are things where I'd love to say that we're both right or we're both wrong, but either way can be right or wrong in these, and that's what I like about it.
SPEAKER_02We can all agree that the crane kick is useless.
SPEAKER_04It was an illegal kick. That's what we can agree with. We can all agree it was an illegal kick.
SPEAKER_03Poor Johnny was just trying to get back with his girl.
SPEAKER_04That's what he was trying to do. See, Paul caught it. All right. The Wizard of Oz might have been a similar scenario, right? The Wizard of Oz being a story that was meant to represent so much more. So I want to run through this because it's too much for me to just remember right off the top of my head. But maybe it was what was being hidden from us that was trying to be exposed in that movie. So The Wizard of Oz, and I'm trying to remember exactly when it came out, but remember, follow the yellow brick road. When did this country really start to go off the rails? When we went off of what?
SPEAKER_03We went to China making our product.
SPEAKER_04The gold standard. Way before that. The gold standard. Right? The yellow brick road, the petrodollar. So the yellow brick road was the right road. It was the road that led to prosperity, the road that led us where we were supposed to go. But we went off of it, right? The straw man. Now, this is this is interesting because there's a lot of theory legally around this. We are not attorneys, so we don't know, but it's interesting. The straw man was not a real man, he was a legal creation. He got a certificate instead of a brain, much like we receive a birth certificate. A degree, right? That certifies in all caps, our birth certificate certifies that we are a person, not a human being. The Tin Man, tin, taxpayer identification number. Which I think is I think that's stretching it just a bit, right? But the Tin Man, if you walk it down, soulless machine, worked until it froze and collapsed, the symbol of the worker that becomes rusted out by nonstop taxation and labor.
SPEAKER_02When you go through and actually look at the book, it's even better because it's all about uh the gold standard, right? And then based off of free market silver that was going to be used to pay down debts. So when you look at it, gold versus silver, America's fighting over what should bring its money to. Under the gold standard, the money supply was constrained by gold. Many farmers and debtors favored free silver, expanding the money supply through silver coinage, which they hope would produce inflation, raise commodity prices, and make debts easier to pay. Then you have Dorothy, Dorothy literally traveling along a road made of gold toward the seat of political power. Gold itself doesn't ultimately solve the problem. In the book, what color were her shoes? Red. Silver. Oh, they were silver or something. They were changed to red for technicolor. So silver as her shoes is what actually brought her back to reality.
SPEAKER_03But you still had to go through the government.
SPEAKER_04Okay, this is this is a fun one. Well, hold on. Because the wizard, the wizard was a whole nother part of this, right? The wizard was smoke, fire, giant hologram, but behind the curtain, just a scared little man. A perfect metaphor for modern government. It's the illusion of authority. It's backed by and pushed by fear. No real power once the curtain is pulled back. The threat of violence. Correct. Which is led by the wicked witch who controls the flying monkeys. Intimidation threats fear. She melts. She melts when exposed to what? The truth and lawful jurisdiction. Water. I'm melting. Yeah. My point is. This even brings me back to, and we can talk about this one on another episode, the movie Boomerang. Grant, you you said this could be done with basically anything. Do y'all remember Martin Lawrence was one of the friends in the movie Boomerang of Eddie Murphy? I keep thinking of blank man, so no, I don't know boomerang at all.
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_04Blank man was Damon Wayans, which was hysterical. Boomerang, though, you remember they were playing pool? And Martin Lawrence had a theory about the game of billiards. The green felt represents the earth. The white ball knocks all the different colors off the table and it's over. I mean, literally, that's where they went in the movie. And you're like, okay, how far are we? Can we just find patterns in everything we look at? Or is there someone out there really trying to tell us, hey, open your eyes?
SPEAKER_02Well, human beings are especially adept at finding patterns. We're better at recognizing patterns than computers are, right? That is a scientific fact. So will we see something when nothing is really there? Absolutely, because something's always there.
SPEAKER_04So what you're saying is that everything happens for a reason.
SPEAKER_03Yes. The number 23.
SPEAKER_04Tell tell me more. What do you mean the number 23?
SPEAKER_03Uh is a Jim Carrey's crazy movie from the back in the 90s-ish, early.
SPEAKER_02It's not like a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's another one where it's the 42. Yeah. It's another take on it, where number 23, according to this movie, was the ultimate truth in the galaxy.
SPEAKER_04We will have to figure that out. All I ever knew 23 was is Michael Jordan. So we will come back with Implicit Bias Radio next week. Get bonus content on Buzz Sprout.
