#2271 – John Reeves Podcast Episode Transcript (Unedited)
Joe Rogan podcast. Check it out.
The Joe Rogan experience.
Showing my day Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. Good to see you, my friend.
Good to be seen. Thank you. Good to see you. We were
supposed to be doing the end of the year, but unfortunately, you got caught with the cooties.
Ai can officially announce that the end of twenty twenty four is right now. Ai waiting for that.
The calendar’s all bullshit anyway. Supposed to be on that old one that’s thirteen months.
So what happened? What’d you catch?
Well, I thought I had bronchitis. All the everybody in the house had it, and we go to CrossFit, and they all had it. I go to CrossFit Jacks, and my trainer’s Megan Russell there, and she’s going, you know, you you might wanna take it easy a little bit. Of course, I’m smoking cigarettes, and I got bronchitis. Sana I go to a clinic. They give me some drugs. Yeah. You got bronchitis. Go home.
Couple days later, I’m sleeping in my chair, and my wife has one of those little oxygen modern things you put on your finger. She wakes me up and goes, alright. Let’s go. You know, what do you mean let’s go? Oxygen levels. You’re going to the hospital. What?
I’m just sitting here taking a nap. No. You’re going to the hospital. So I said, okay. So we got this late at night. We go to Sai Vincent’s clinic.
Go in. It’s late. And, sitting there waiting for the doctor, Arianne F. Sherry. Great guy, it turns out. He comes in and looking at meh.
He’s young enough to be one of my kids. He goes, stethoscope, listening to my lungs. He goes, do you smoke? I said, yeah. He says, you need to quit.
I said, I just did. He goes, what? Ai said, I just did. I’m done. Now what do we do? He goes, well, next you’re going to the hospital.
This is just a clinic. I said, what do you mean I’m going to the hospital? He sai, you haven’t got bronchitis. You got pneumonia. And I think you got double pneumonia. So you’re going right now.
Both lungs. Oh. The bad kind. The bad kind. He says, but the good news is you don’t have bronchitis. I said, okay.
I guess that’s good news.
And that that was about the time I was supposed to be in the studio with you, just a couple days before that. Wow. And I’m going, wow. This kinda screw up my plans. As you know, best made plans and all that.
Listen. The plans are all bullshit. We made those up.
end of the year. If you if it doesn’t have to be that.
Alright. Well, I look thanks for the invite. I look forward to it this year.
I’m just happy that you’re okay.
the date didn’t matter. You know? Things happen. Yeah.
glad you recovered. I’m glad you quit smoking too. Yeah. He says
you need to quit smoking. I ai and went to the hospital. I was in there for almost five days, and I haven’t been in a hospital in a while, but they they haven’t Sai Vincent’s did a great job. The nurses have their little machines. They wheel around, and they come into your room every it seemed like quite often to check your ai, to do this, to do intravenous, to do that. Yeah.
So I’m sitting in there and couldn’t sleep. So I’m one of those guys that if you walk by the door and you see an old guy sitting on a bed looking out the door, that’s me. Sai I maybe got an hour, two hours of sleep at night.
Did you have a hard time kicking the cigarettes? Even because you’ve been speak, like, your whole life. Right?
I did. I’ve smoked for over fifty years. And I know it’s bad for meh, and I’ve never been an anti smoking crusader, but if anything good comes to my appearance with you today, was it this doctor Afshari, total stranger, ai I never met before in my life, happened to tell me at the right exact time, you need to quit.
And I’ve been thinking I need to quit for a long time. My loved ones told me that, my wife, my kids, and I never okay. Yeah. That’s a good idea.
It’s a weird thing because it kills you saloni. And along the way, it gives you just a little bit of happiness. Little bit of happiness while it kills you slowly. And it’s not just a problem of killing you slowly, it’s how it’s gonna kill you. The way it’s gonna kill you, it’s gonna suffocate you. Yep. I have a friend, my friend Ai, who, owns the comedy and magic club in Hermosa Beach.
And he was trying to convince a friend of mine to quit smoking because his wife is a nurse. I believe so. I believe it or not, I was told. But he was explaining that, the way people die of lung cancer, the way people die at the end. And he’s ai, it’s horrible. Like, it’s you don’t see that.
You just hear he died of cancer. You don’t see what the final days are like, and it’s avoidable. It’s avoidable.
Yeah. Well, since I quit, Sai don’t cough anymore.
It’s crazy. I can breathe better, and I I’m still re you know, getting better from the, pneumonia I’m sure. Because it takes a while to get over that.
Yeah. I was amazed that you could still fly so quickly.
No. From Florida. Oh, that’s right. Florida in a way. We’re in Florida.
How long that take, though? That’s a couple days.
Well, we had stuff we didn’t sana put on the airlines. Got it. Wink. Government. I’m just I’m just teasing. We, we wanted a road trip, one little adventure. You know, it’s you fly over this country at 45,000 feet, and you’re looking out the window. It’s a big country.
That’s right. And you’re looking out and you suddenly sai a little dot and see some houses and, you know, I wonder what those people do down there.
That’s a real problem with people who don’t venture outside of the bubbles. If they’re in those those left wing liberal bubbles like New York and California, the people that don’t travel what what helped me a lot is doing stand up on the road.
Because I was on I was everywhere. So I would go to all these different towns all over the country. You get to see a whole different group of people, a whole different kind of you know, it’s like people are the same and different everywhere you go. And this idea that the people in the middle are stupid, especially now, that’s a really dumb way to look at it because of the Internet.
Now everybody kind of has access to information, and you’re gonna have dumb people and you’re gonna have smart people no matter where you go, including in the cities. But the problem in the cities is the dumb people can trick you because they believe the things that the smart people believe, and they say them loudly.
And so, they think they’re smart. Sai, this is a way to be smart without actually being smart. Just say the things that smart people say and say it like you’re defending it and you’re defending freedom or science or some shit, democracy, whatever it is. Just yell it out And then the smart people won’t say anything because you’re saying the things that they wanna sai.
And the other people are like, hey, I know what you’re doing. And it it more than anything, it turns people off.
Exactly. And by traveling, you have a chance of having an adventure. Yeah. Something cool could happen.
Yeah. You run into interesting characters. Alright. It’s February. And by now, eighty percent of people have probably abandoned their New Year’s resolutions. And it makes sense. Life can get crazy, and all of a sudden, you don’t have the time. But one easy habit to stick with is AG one.

AG one makes hard to get micronutrients easy to get and replaces multiple vitamins and supplements with just one scoop.

They’re all unique. That’s the cool thing about this country. If you really did have the time that’s what I loved about Anthony Bourdain’s shah, especially the first one in the Andrews. You go to these, like, little hotdog stands in New Jersey and just you just hang out with people and street food and, you know, you just get a just a bigger picture of humans in life.
When we got to, I forget, Texas, there’s a place called Buc ee’s.
First time you go there, you’re like, what the hell is this place? Two
there 200 gas pumps. Yeah. I went, what are you doing? We paid a buck 47 a gallon. That’s three times what or three times less than what I pay in Alaska.
Oh, yeah. Alaska’s gotta be rough. Right? But meanwhile, that’s where they get the oil. Isn’t the oil, like, real
close there? Runs right through my property. I helped build that some bitch. So meh. Anyways, yeah. No. It’s I’ve never understood the economics of how that works.
California is the worst. I believe the way we tried to figure this out the other day. I don’t think we got to the bottom of it, though. I think California has to use gasoline that’s refined in California. So it’s one of the reasons why and then I’m sure crazy fucking carbon taxes, whatever.
They did they ramp up some extra shit to make it more expensive because you you’re looking at a price per gallon that’s like a couple bucks more a gallon always than it is here. As soon as we came here, I was like, what happened to gas why why is it sold less here?
He he had a little plastic bottle of water. Right? 12 ounces.
You look at that bottle, you’ll pay $2 for it in a seven eleven, you know, for that little bottle of water. Four of those bottles of water make a gallon. You’re paying $8 a gallon for water. Water is the most abundant thing on the planet. It’s everywhere. Right.
Except in some parts of California. Apparently, they didn’t sana have the reservoirs filled up.
Well, they had to put a lid on it, John. There’s a lid, and the lid was broken.
Remember we talked about that 60 foot diameter water ai coming down from Southeast Alaska to California? Yeah. That would have been helpful.
Yeah. Yeah. We talked about that.
they can do that with oil, why can’t they do that with water?
Because they’re afraid there’d be a water leak in the Pacific Ocean. You can’t have water leak. Yeah.
You can’t drown the ocean. That’s terrible.
Oh, so anyways, so you’re looking at $8 a gallon for water. Yeah. But oil, you gotta go for sale, you gotta go find it.
Then you gotta do all kinds of seismic work. Then you gotta drill. And then you gotta discover it. And then you gotta build a well. And then you gotta build feeder lines. And then you gotta get it to a pump station. Then you gotta get it somewhere in a pipeline. Then you gotta ship at 4,000 miles.
Yeah. And you gotta use it to ship it, which is even crazier.
And you’re paying a buck 47 a gallon. How’s this working, boys? I don’t get it.
It is crazy. And how much are do you have? How is it how we burn so much and still there? How much is there? How much do you guys have left?
They got a bunch in Alaska.
They got a bunch everywhere.
I bet they got a bunch in Greenland too.
There is a book that I read a book that I read, I think, in the nineties called Black Gold Stranglehold, maybe early two thousands. And I never found out if it was real or not. Ai I never looked into it any further. I need to talk to, like, an expert. But this guy was essentially saying that oil is a natural property of Earth, and that it’s not, like, dinosaur fossils. Like, we like to think about it vatsal fuels.
Dinosaurs and plants break down and make oil. He no. He said oil is a vatsal component of Earth. And that the proof is in the fact that if they have these wells that go dry, they can wait just a little while and then they could go back to the well again and it’ll replenish itself.
Yep. How is that possible if this is just decaying matter over millions and millions of years? It doesn’t make sense. Unless it’s coming seeping in from other areas that they don’t have access to, and it somehow or another gets to that well, like it’s all like a stream underground, which begs the question, like, how much is there?
What they found out that there’s three times more water in the ground underground than there is in all the oceans of Earth.
It’s crazy stuff. That Ai didn’t even make sense because they said the water’s ram I think they’re saying the water’s trapped in rocks. Is that what they’re saying? See see if you can find that article. It’s sai three times as much water under the ground as the ocean. How? Three times?
It’s stored within a mineral called ring ringwoodite.
Ringwoodite. What does it look like? Sai don’t know. Does it have a picture? I’ll Google that. Ai some fucking vatsal mineral, some glowing blue mineral filled with water.
Yeah. It’s kinda what it looks like.
Really? Yeah. With oh, shit. That’s crazy. I called it. Magnesium silicate. Wow. It’s beautiful. Show me an image of that shit. Key points about it. The hidden ocean is found under hundreds of miles both the Earth’s surface in the transition zone between the upper and lower mantle.
The water is trapped within the crystal structure of the mineral ringwoodite. Significance. This discovery could significantly alter our understanding of the Earth’s water cycle and potentially provide insights into the origin of water on our planet. Woah. Thank god there’s scientists out there. Except, you know, of course, the cocksuckers that fucking steal your bones won’t give them back. Motherfucker. Fuck those guys.
But other sai, like these cool guys had figured this out, these cool guys, gals, and non binary folk, that is wild stuff, man. Three times as much ocean as it is in the ocean. That’s so crazy. So that’s the transition zone. It’s all hydrated.
How long before, like, rappers start wearing that around a necklace? That seems like a a dope necklace. Sweet. That’s that shit that they make water out of.
Dope. Gotta sell it to someone.
Yeah. You just need some Kendrick Lamar type influencer. Someone was at the top of his game to start wearing it. You know, ai Kanye in his prime, he could’ve he could’ve got that out there.
By the way, I wanna thank you for your, podcast and the one with, president Trump.
I thought that was great. And I made the mistake of complimenting you on on that page. I said, I really enjoyed the podcast between you and president Trump. Jesus Ai. 8,000 people coming at me. I’m stopping to follow you. You’re a nasty person. I hate you.
Yeah. You gotta stop reading the comments.
I know. A great man once told me that. The problem is Ai don’t take advice and I don’t give advice. But I’m trying.
I don’t give a whole lot of advice. I guess I do ai, but only with really important stuff. Like, that’s an important one. Yeah. You can’t fix those and they will affect the way you think. They affect the way people behave. Yep. They affect the your freedom of expression to freely express yourself.
I think it had a great impact on the election.
I think I think it had an impact.
Because it showed showed, mister Trump as a regular guy.
Yeah. Well, he also was right about a lot of shit.
The fact that he called the problem with the LA fires months before they happened was literally saying what they needed to do Yep. What they’re doing wrong, and then boom. Two times the size of Manhattan is gone. Yep. It’s so crazy when you see it live or or excuse me, from above, like on video, when they do the drone sweeps over it.
Fucking ai a bomb went off, like a fucking nuclear bomb Yep. Hit that part of the state. It’s nuts.
Well, maybe they can rebuild it after rebuild Hawaii and North Carolina and
Take care of some of those guys.
They’re still working on shit that’s blown over in Florida. Right?
Yep. We saw a lot of it in in Georgia when we went through.
Yeah. I mean, there’s you’re always gonna have a certain amount of hurricane damage and but if we don’t take care of that first and instead we speak $200,000,000 on transgender animal studies, like, what the fuck? What are we doing? Like, why aren’t we allocating money to the most important things we have, which is people and their safety and their homes and to be able to rebuild?
The fact that they get a $770 check and that’s it, that’s all those people in Maui got, that’s just to let you know. Like, there this is a fucking rigged game. So even if you’re not happy with what Elon Musk is doing and he has access that he shouldn’t have and all this different stuff, You you gotta rip the band aid off, kids.
This country is trillions of dollars, 30 6 trillion dollars in debt. And a lot of the stuff that’s listed on USAID, all the stuff that’s coming out, all these different things they paid for, They’re so frivolous and so fucking insane. It wouldn’t be too crazy it wouldn’t be as crazy if we were vatsal, 36,000,000,000,000 in debt, and b, not take care of people in Maui, North Carolina.
But the fact that those things exist, that those three things exist, and then people are still they don’t wanna say that he’s right. They’re they’re so locked into this idea. Like, if a Democrat had found all that, if Joe Biden had went in and found corruption that was in the the the halls of our government and tried to weed it out and said there’s corruption in these NGOs, there’s corruption in these, you know, not for profits.
There’s a lot of corruption and influence, and we’re gonna weed this out because we want a fair country. The fucking place would be cheering him. This would be like some shit JFK would do in ’62. Yep. Everybody would be cheering him. Yes.
This is what we need a real president who’s really gonna come in and fix these things. But because it because Trump’s doing it in the way he does things. It’s just like he’s a fuck. He just did you see in the Air Force One, they announced that this is the first time a president is ever flying over the Gulf Of America, the newly named Gulf Of Meh?
That was classic. I mean, he doesn’t miss a beat.
It’s funny. It’s funny. Ai, I hope that the good stuff from USAID can be picked back up. I hope that there’s some stuff that can be reinstated because I think this genuine good that a lot of these nonprofit organizations and NGOs a lot a lot of people are genuinely good people are doing good work and it’d be good for us as a civilization to sponsor some of that.
But you gotta know, like, what’s fraud, you know, and how much of it is horseshit and how how much of it can you ram? There’s this guy, Ian Carroll. Did you see Ian’s video about it? He was saying that somewhere in the neighborhood of, like, 90% of this stuff that they’re paying for, it doesn’t even make it to where it’s supposed to be going.
And that it could just solve a lot of it could just be fraud.
you see that video, Jamie?
I’ve he makes a lot of cool videos. I’ve seen the videos he’s gotten things wrong, though.
I know. That’s what makes it fun. Yeah.
that’s why I like people like him. Him and Kenneth Owens, they’re my favorite go tos when I wanna know who the fucking lizard people are.
Well, the the money we send to Ukraine, and they can’t find a hundred billion of them.
They’re only missing a hundred billion, John.
under a billion. A lot of money.
A hundred billion dollars for all those fine weapons. Ai I don’t even know what happened. Like, where’s the how’d the money get distributed? Like, who where to go? How are you missing so much?
I I figure a lot of it never got out of America.
But this is the thing about human beings. If you just don’t ever have them be accountable, they won’t be. They won’t be. The United States is like a meth head that we gave a checkbook to. And at the end of the month, we’re like, what the fuck did you buy? You know? He’s like, don’t worry, man. I got this. I’ll cover it. I’ll cover it. What did you buy?
America’s a big business.
And, we got a we got a president ai that’s a business guy.
I don’t wake up every morning to see what the fuck he’s done. I know that the business is in good hands and he’ll take care of it because when you drive through it and you see what we got going, you realize, man, there’s people trying to make it right, and most of the people in America are good people.
It’s not racist. They’re not sexist. They’re not bad people. Most people that you see every day are just good people.
I think that’s most people in the world. Yeah. The people that aren’t like that are the people that are in desperation. The people that are in horrible desperation or people that have been abused, you know. And I I I I’ve always sai, ai, there’s this compassionate view of, immigration in this country.
Like the progressive, compassionate people, their idea is we should not stop people from pursuing a better ai. And that they come here because where they live is fucking terrible and they sana to be able to come here and they want to be able to live the American ram. And we should be open to that. That’s great. But you can’t do that while you’re also letting in terrorists. Right?
Sai, like, what what is the what is the solution? Because the solution is you bring everybody over here, they can commit crimes, you have chaos, then people demonize the rest of them who are very good people who just want a better life because the few that you let in because you didn’t screen at vatsal, the few that you let in that were scumbags, they’re fucking gang members and Yeah.
Holding up apartment buildings and all this different crazy shit that we know is true. The right way to do it is take what we have in Meh, The the freedom and the the ability to prosper and expand that throughout the world. Like, if we were good neighbors, what we would try to do is turn Mexico into another Meh, not another America culturally. That’s not what I’m saying.
But stop being run by the fucking cartels. Stop being run by people who are selling fentanyl. You know, ai, figure out how to pay people, ai, a fair wage. The reason why all those factories went down there sai they could pay people slave labor. Make that illegal. Make that illegal. Make your own shah.
Like, we should all help each other get to a state of living, like, that the whole world could live at. Like, that seems if if that’s not possible, something’s real wrong with the system. You know, like, the top 1% in this country is I don’t know what it is. But the top 1% in the world is $34,000 a year. That’s how different the rest of the world is. That’s why they’re walking here from Guatemala.
And I get it. I get it. Ai thought is, if you wanna invest money, don’t invest money and just, like, pay all these people to live here and stay at the Roosevelt Hotel and all that crazy shit. Invest money in making their life better where they are.
If if you could figure out how to make these places where they come from as prosperous as America, wouldn’t that be better? Yep. Isn’t that possible? I mean, it’s gotta be it’s possible here. How come you can’t that’s the best concept of spreading democracy, like speak real democracy.
But the problem with us is we don’t really spread democracy. We just go over there and take over. You know, we go over there and install a puppet dictatorship and, you know, throw the whole fucking country into a tizzy.
And a lot of people are getting rich off of it.
A lot of people getting rich. This is the problem. And we’re reliant on cheap stuff. You know, all these fucking social justice warriors and virtue signals, they’re all doing it on phones made by slaves. That’s what’s crazy.
And the and the ones that wanna shut the mining industry down Ai use gold as an example. By the way, gold’s gone up a thousand an ounce since I saw you last.
Didn’t they find a gang of it in China recently?
Oh, they probably got all kinds of it in China.
Sai think China just didn’t they China just found found some crazy new discovery of an enormous, amount of
gold. They’re they’re talking about back than a crypto coin with gold.
It’s better than money. It’s real.
When are you gonna get a, boneyard crypto coin? Twenty twenty four November, China discovered a large gold deposit in the Wanggu, gold field in the Hunan province. The discovery is estimated to be worth $83,000,000,000, making it one of the largest gold ai in history. Holy shit.
The deposit is estimated to contain over 1,000 metric tons of gold. Gold is located in 40 veins that extend up to 3,000 meters underground. The discovery is made using advanced three d geological modeling. That’s incredible. Isn’t it amazing? I mean, you’re a gold miner.
Tell me, like, how the how do you know where to dig? How do you guys find that stuff?
It’s real simple. Yeah? Gold’s where you find it.
the bottom line, Joe. Right. And and but once you make a discovery, let’s use load gold, which is still in the rock. Plaster gold, what we do is been eroded out of the rock and is in the concentrates on bedrock, and you you gotta wash it and sift it and sluice it and but, load gold, you gotta crush to get the gold out of the rock.
Ah. And so from the moment of discovery until you produce it out of that gold mine, it takes average 29.
Twenty nine years to go from finding
to having an operating gold mine or copper mine or lead mine or silver mine or zinc mine. Wow.
That’s crazy. And what’s really interesting too in this country is the story of the gold ai, like the San Francisco forty niners, the people that came across the the the the country when they found out that they had struck gold. And that must have been a really wild time, a fucking dangerous time too.
You got because you have the lawless West and then you have a bunch of people who are just desperados, who are pulling gold out of the ground. And that guy might have pulled enough gold out of the ground to literally pay for the rest of your life. Meh. And he’s right there, and no one’s around.
I know a couple of guys you couldn’t tell they could rub two sticks together. Good friend of mine bought a bank because the bank had a big vault. He had three tons of gold that he was he was like a collector, a hoarder.
He’d been mining for forty years.
What is three tons of gold worth? A lot. What is that worth, Jamie? This is crazy. Let’s guess. Take a guess. I’m so dumb. I don’t even know what that mean. Well, I mean Three tons of gold.
Ai remember there’s a difference between a if I was to ask you what weight is more a pound of feathers or a pound of gold, what would you tell me?
You’d be wrong because of that. There’s 16 ounces in a pound of feathers, and there’s 12 ounces different ounces in a pound of gold. How come? Just the way it is.
So when you buy a pound of gold, you’re not getting 16 ounces?
You’re getting twelve twelve troy ounces.
What nationality invented that? I don’t want I don’t sana go full Kanye here. The value of three tons of gold depends on the current market value of gold, which is, constantly changing. As of now, 2023, ‘1 ton of pure 24 karat gold was worth about 55,000,000. Wow. This dude had three tons of gold. He had a hundred and fucking $60,000,000.
Hundred and 60 5 million dollars
in gold just laying around. That’s what him and his wife did. That was what they did.
That is so nuts. And so this was just pure gold that he had been made into ingots?
It’s plaster gold. This kind of we have. He was on my ground, and he would melt it and refine it if you wanted to get 24 karat. But it generally runs about 85% pure in its form on my creeks. So if you ai a one ounce nugget, 85% of that’s probably 24 karat.
What’s the biggest nugget you’ve ever found?
Woah. What does that look like?
Looks like a whale, actually.
How big is it? Like, in your hand.
I got a picture of it on my page. My daughter’s holding it.
Like a old school flip phone? About that big?
Almost as big as a cell phone? Like a a
It looks if you hold it one way, it looks like a whale. You flip it over, it looks like a dolphin.
And now how much is a piece of gold like that worth right now?
Well, because it looks like something. It’s called character. Sai if you have if you have a nugget that looks like a whale or a dolphin, it generally goes for four or five times world market. Really? So if gold is $3,000 an ounce, that would be 12 to 15,000 for that character that you’re buying.
If you find a nugget that looks like a heart, no limit.
Bunch of suckers out there. What about one that looks like a demon?
Oh, that’s big money. You find one that looks like a pile of dog shah, you’re gonna get speak market.
Yeah. You gotta find one that looks like a skull.
Oh, you find a skull? Oh, boy. Oh, they’ll be knocking your door.
Oh, the people the the real nutty ones.
They’ll be looking for the dude.
The rich occultists would want it. Part of their collection.
But every every little nugget has some kinda or bigger nugget has some ai character that you keep looking for. Like, what’s this look like?
That makes sense. That makes sense. Did you study the history of gold mining in this country before you got involved?
Not really. No? No. I’ve been gold mining, and Ai knew how to do it. It wasn’t worth a shit, but Ai I’m getting better at it.
But it’s a it’s a crazy way to make a living. You know, you’re you’re pulling the most precious thing. Like, the thing that’s probably other than diamonds, which is kinda manufactured. Right? There’s probably a lot more diamonds than the value suggests. Don’t they, like, hoard them up sai that, like, it keeps the price high?
They do that. Right? Very smart.
Yeah. De Beers controls the
What nationality does that?
De Beers but but you bring up an interesting point, the history of gold mining. Yeah. People don’t in they don’t even know how entrenched in our everyday lingo gold mining terms are. I’ll give you an example.
Struck it rich. Oh, the he hit the mother saloni. Right. Ai in the he don’t know the difference between shit and Shinola.
Shit and Shinola is gold. Really? You can’t tell the difference between shit and Shinola.
I thought it was like poop versus shoe polish.
Isn’t Shinola is shoe polish?
I don’t know. I never had a pair of shoes that had Shinola.
I think Shinola is a shoe polish.
I’m just getting I’m 90% sure Shinola is issue, but I don’t know which one came first. Like, Shinola might have come after the gold term, you know, might be
a recent corporation. Could be.
But I think Shinola is like an old school one. Like, I kinda I mean, maybe I’m having a fake meh, but I kinda remember of it in high school, like, shoe polish.
But after today is now you know it’s gold.
Now. Well, in in gold rush terms, gold yeah. But, like, every culture has some lingo. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Is it is it a shoe polish, Jamie? It is? How long has it been around?
They could’ve stole that from gold.
Go and bust. Yep. I thought that was a gambling term. I thought that was, but it could be both. Right?
Probably. I mean, it’s those kind of things are in our in our language ai paydirt.
hit paydirt. Right. Yep. Right. You hit gold in the dirt.
The the the way I’ve heard shit in Shinola was shits. Shits shits bedrock schist. Sorry. Oh, I see. Schist and Shinola. Oh. Schist. Ai goal is found in schist.
That actually makes more sense than shit and Shinola. You can’t tell the difference between shit and shoe polish. Don’t you smell it? Right?
I ain’t never seen a shoe with shoe polish.
Really? You’ve never seen a shoe with shoe polish?
I actually had to wear them in high school. My my parents put me in a reform school.
I had I have to wear them when I dress up. I wear polish shoes.
I saw you dressed up here recently.
I dress up. I look like a monkey with a suit on. That’s what I look like when I dressed up.
Looked pretty sharp when I saw what you were wearing.
I felt like a fraud whenever I wear a suit. Like, what are you doing? What is this what is this thing you’re wearing?
Thank you very much. Thank you.
Yep. Yeah. It’s hard for me. I I shop at the same place Fetterman shops.
Fetterman’s a man an animal. He goes to the fucking inauguration in a pair of shorts and a hoodie.
Carhartt hoodie on and a pair of shorts and That’s it. Didn’t give a fuck. Ai and he’s a genuine guy. He’s a very nice guy.
Yeah. I I I kinda like the guy.
I like the guy a lot. I sai him when I was there. I gave him a hug, talked to him. He was very friendly.
don’t like that he said no. He’s gonna vote no on Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. I think that’s terrible. But Yep. I’m biased, obviously. I like both of them very much.
And they’re both in if I’m not mistaken.
I don’t know how this works, man. I’m confused about this whole process. I’m confused about what’s legal, what’s not legal, what you could you can and can’t do, what these executive orders can and can’t do. I’m confused how they closed the problem with the border down in three days.
They just basically, like, completely put a stop to all the illegal coming in except for, like, a hundred people a day. It was thousands a day. It was just an overrun of people coming through every day, and they stopped it. And they he said you couldn’t stop it. They negotiate he negotiated with Canada and with Mexico to ramp up their border, stop the fentanyl from coming in. Like, all this stuff seems so common sense.
And it’s just amazing to me that people don’t look at that. Like, no one is going to trust you if all you talk about is the bad side from the other side. If you don’t say this is good, this is good for all of us. If you don’t say that, if you don’t ai, you are you rooting against America?
Because, like, when good things happen, do you not want them to happen because a Republican is president? Because that’s a very un Meh way to look at things. And I think that’s where we’re at these days. I think there’s a giant chunk of our population that is so wrapped up in these social media squabbles and owning people online and talking shit and listening videos and TikToks.
They’re so wrapped up in this us versus them shit that they can’t see that we’re supposed to all be in this together. And even if you don’t like that guy, if Trump gets in and he does something that’s awesome for the country, you should say that’s awesome for the country. Yep.
Yeah. It’s really good that terrorists aren’t sneaking into our southern border. That’s really good. It’s really good that they find all the fucking criminals that are taking over apartment buildings in Aurora, Colorado and root them out. Yeah. That’s really good.
They should deport them. Yeah. They’re fucking criminals. That shouldn’t we shouldn’t have to deal with that. Yeah. Maybe we should fix everything that’s going on in North Carolina. Yeah.
That’s that’s good for everybody. It’s ai there’s thing these things are common sense.
That’s because it’s gotten so bad now that the only reason to run for politics used to be to make the money, not just get reelected. That’s the first thing they try to do when they get elected is start getting reelected.
They’re making so much money.
Oh, look. Look at the money that
When you look at the amount of money some of those congresspeople are worth and you’re like, you tell me how. You tell me how. You make a hundred and $80,000 a year and you were 30,000,000. You tell me how. You tell me how. There’s I can’t find a way that makes any sense because you should be really busy. Right?
So if you be should be really busy doing this hundred and $80,000 a year job, you who has time to have a side hustle that that pays you 10 times more? Who has time? Who’s doing that?
It’s that’s the only reason I can think of that people would wanna get into that game.
Well, I think a lot of people like being the boss. There’s a lot of that. And a lot of people just want to be that person. And when you’re in a competition, right, sai hierarchy based status competition ai the president of The United States, like, everybody wants to be in that spot where where everybody calls you arya everybody shakes your hand and foreign leaders wanna meh you wanna feel important.
They all do. They can pretend they don’t. They all like it. That’s why they do it. Otherwise, they wouldn’t want their whole life exposed like that and digging into your past and distortions of your character and outright lies, anything to destroy you all over television because they’re trying to win an election.
If they weren’t the person that wants that spot, they wouldn’t do it. That’s why we don’t get good leaders. We don’t get we don’t get people who you would, like, really want to do it other than Trump. And with that guy, it’s like he’s he’s kind of a psycho.
Yeah. He doesn’t need the money. He’s not doing it for the money.
Well, I’m sure it helps that you can make money doing it, you know, not from the salary, but from a lot of other stuff. Like, it elevates his his, social profile for sure and makes him more popular, which is part of the the brand of Donald Trump. But, like, didn’t he famously not even get a paycheck for yeah.
He donates his check to some some organization.
That’s fucking and then there’s there’s other thing about Elon. Elon’s gonna steal everybody’s money. He has $400,000,000,000. I’m telling you, he’s not gonna steal your money. I’m telling you, that’s not what he’s doing. What he’s doing is he’s a super genius that’s been fucked with. Okay?
And when you’ve been fucked with by these nitwits that hide behind three letter agencies, and you’re dealing with one of the smartest people alive, and he helps Donald Trump get in office, and he goes, I wanna find out what kind of corruption is really around. Well, you fucked up. You fucked up and picked the wrong psychopath on the spectrum because he’s gonna fucking he’s gonna hunt you down.
He’s gonna find out what’s going on and that’s good. That’s good for everybody. That’s what how you should be looking at this. Like, wow. We have a brilliant mind that is examining these really fucking corrupt and goofy systems and bringing in a bunch of psychopath wizards.
Yeah. Well, AOC is the one that sai he’s he’s the most unintelligent person she’s ever met.
Wow. I wanna meet her friends. They’re probably cool. Imagine the conversation you’d have with her friends. If he’s the most unintelligent person she’s ever met, wow, her friends must be amazing. I wanna go to one of those parties. It’s probably just ai fascinating person after fascinating person.
Well, I wonder what she’s worth. And Nancy Pelosi, I think, is way up there in a multiple multiple million
Well, she’s psychic. I don’t know if you know this. She’s really good at the stock arya, Like, basically. Yeah.
She meditates and she just sees it. She sees how it’s gonna happen. She should teach that,
There’s a few honest ones.
Sure. There’s plenty of honest just like there’s plenty of, teachers who don’t get the students drunk. You know, it’s like it’s the problem is not the honest ones. The problem is the ones that aren’t honest. And there’s a ton of them, and they don’t get rooted out because the system is so corrupt.
Probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I’ve ever met, seen, or witnessed.
Well, you know, this guy ai one of the most morally vacant, but also just least knowledgeable about these systems that we know of, she said. Wow. She used to own a Tesla car. Damn. She don’t own a Tesla anymore. Has a history of public disagreements with mister Musk Musk, particularly over his Department of Government Efficiency.
This team has been examining government spending, which has drawn sharp criticism from Democrats. Last week, DOGE gained access to federal payment systems to help with its review, a move that many Democrats viewed as controversial. Miss Ocasio Cortez was particularly critical of the involvement of young staffers saying they don’t do their homework clearly and adding that 19 year olds were being placed in key positions at the treasury department.
I love it. Get those get those Internet wizards on the case. Only he would do that because he understands Internet culture, and he understands geniuses. He understands a lot of these people have, like, these super brains. They’re ai, and they’re you’re ai one of those kids. He was from Omaha.
He figured out a way to use AI to decode burnt scrolls.
My son, Kenzie, works for Palo Alto. He’s got a master’s degree in cybersecurity. He’s working on another one, master’s in AI. Oh, wow. And, after talking to him and seeing what he’s doing, he’s he, he did his master’s thesis on hacking satellites. And when I heard that, I thought, you know, that puts a whole new light on Bitcoin for me. Oh, yeah. I’m going, I like gold. It’s in your hand.
You can see it. You can hold it. You can feel it. But here, I brought you some Bitcoins to catch. I just threw you 20 of them.
Well, as soon as you have real quantum computing where they cannot run actual programs on it, you’re not gonna have encryption anymore. Or you’re gonna have to have some new kind of encryption that we never anticipated before, like, maybe turn on and off. And it’s gonna have to be something that the computer doesn’t have access to somehow or another, maybe possibly, like, independent of a system.
But independent of a system, how would it even communicate with you if it’s electronic, if it has Wi Ai, like, the the it’s gonna get into it. There’s not you’re not gonna be able to stop something that’s infinitely more intelligent than any human being from deciphering any kind of goofy ass encryption you have, some fucking stupid Apple complex password that it picked for you.
See, I I I’m just not I just don’t understand it. I mean, for two years, Bitcoin went after the gold miners saying why why ai dumb. Why would you invest in gold when you can invest in Bitcoin? So I don’t have a problem with Bitcoin. I mean, the guys that are making money on it are making bank. They’re doing great.
I’m telling you, we need a boneyard. We need a boneyard coin. We do. How about a boneyard coin? Just don’t do a pump and dump. That’s the key. You can have your own money.
Jamie and I ai been talking about it.
Can we make a real make it out of gold?
Real ones? Yeah. We could.
One pennyweight coins. There’s 20 pennyweights in an ounce.
And there’s an opening right now because Trump just banned the penny.
It’s about time. Each one of those pennies worth about 6¢.
2 cents. It costs us 2¢ to make
it. To make it. Yeah. But the copper itself.
Oh, yeah. You gotta mine it.
Really? So each penny is worth 6¢.
Because he added 2¢ to it.
So you actually could profit from melting pennies.
People been collecting pennies for a long time.
Right. But melting them down to sell it for raw copper is
actually profitable. What’s the price of copper these days? And you can figure out how many I don’t see how many pennies makes a pound.
I remember when I was doing construction, one of the sites that one of the guys had got robbed where they stole all the copper pipes. And I was like, what? Ai, how much is copper worth?
I would have never imagined that. The US Pennies were made of 2.5% copper and 197.5% zinc.
That’s the modern the modern penny.
Penny contains a small amount of copper that’s plated on top of a zinc base. Oh, interesting.
Yeah. But that’s that’s today’s penny, not
not From 1982, they were made in 95% copper. Yep. Okay. So in the eighties, they were real pennies. So if you get one of them old pennies, that’s a valuable penny. The way a penny determines copper or zinc. A copper penny weighs 3.11 grams, while zinc penny weighs 2.5. Interesting. Yeah. Coins are weird, like enough of that.
I fucking I know it’s stupid because you are, like, a part of the system and you can’t control, but I love paying for things with my phone. I love going to do looking in my face and pressing on the register. Thank you.
I see you guys do it all the time.
I love it. It’s like I feel like I’m living in the future. It’s my favorite it’s so irrational. It’s my favorite thing to do is to pay for shit with my phone. I could pay I would pay for everything with my phone if I could.
I used to in Jacksonville.
Use your face. Touch it, and it pays for the I love I’m so stupid. I love the little check that comes up. Oh, yay. You paid for it.
You go through a drive through to get food, and you see the guy in front of you aiming his phone at somebody inside.
I don’t see any cash flying around. Right. It’s weird. It is weird.
It’s weird because, like, who’s controlling it? And if you have the same sort of oversight that you had with all the stuff that Doge is showing or it’s all this corruption and waste and a hundred billion dollars is missing from Ukraine and, like, what what what what what would you do?
How many how much money did you spend on these fucking charging stations and how many have you made all that kind of stuff. If you if you look at all if that’s all applied to money too and it’s digital money, like, how do I know where you have it if you even have it? Right? Because this is part of the problem with money in banks that they don’t really have all the money that you put in there.
Like, if you put in $10,000,000 to a bank, guess what? They don’t have $10,000,000 to give you. Like, if you say, I want my $10,000,000 back. That’s a process. Yeah. Like, they had to you have to get it. They’re gonna really try to discourage you. It’s you can’t get it that day.
There’s gonna be an a a lot of things have to happen. If you show up at a bank and you’re fucking Jeff Bezos or something where they’re not worried about where it came ram, and you sana deposit $10,000,000, and you have a fucking bag, you’re wheeling in on, like, a luggage cart, and it’s $10,000,000, and they count it, and they put it in there.
Yeah. But it’s not there anymore. They’re gonna do they’re gonna loan that out. They’re gonna do stuff with it. They don’t have it right there.
So it’s all weird. Like, the whole economy is weird. Everything’s weird. Because since we went off the gold standard, it’s ai, what what is it based on? And how do you guys just print more of it every time you need something? Every time you wanna do something, just print more?
I’m old enough to know and meh, if you were in a bank and a guy walks in wearing a fucking mask, usually had to hit the floor. Right. There’s a bank I go to in Jacksonville where you walk in a bank sana the tellers are wearing masks. I’m going, this ain’t right. And I go, what are you wearing a mask for?
Well, they’re mentally ill.
What are you wearing a mask for?
Well, I think a lot of people weren’t really doing well before COVID. You know? There’s a lot of people that are fragile. They’re barely hanging on already. You know, a lot of people are, like, really anxious about diseases. I have friends that are like that. I know a few guys in the comedy community that really cracked during that time because they were already filled with ai, and some of them were already ai, and they cracked.
And, they’re not the same people anymore. Like, people don’t wanna hang out with them anymore. They’re they’re weird. Like, they’re they’re just they’re just bryden, and they wear masks everywhere.
This one bank I went to tyler her is wearing a mask. The next tyler over is not wearing a mask.
She’s probably a Republican. That’s what it is. It’s a MAGA hat. It’s a Democrat’s MAGA hat.
And you see him driving around with a mask on in his car.
Well, that’s they’re they’re meant they might as well have fox ears on. They’re mentally ill.
And I went you know, we’re out on the field. We’re out ai there. We got all the dust flying around. Meh have masks on.
Yeah. But that’s big. That’s a big difference. Yeah. It is big difference. Fucking invisible viruses as you’re driving your car. By the way, I think fox ears are more noble. Because if you put, like, little fox ears on, you’re ai one of those furries, at least you’re just having a good time. Yeah.
You know, like, you’re just having a good time. You like wearing fox ears. Who gives a shit? The mask is just stupid. It’s just you what what do you like meh your own breath? What do you ai? Not being able to breathe as good? What do you like?
What do you like pretending that viruses can’t get through those fucking gaping holes that are all around the outside of your face and through the fabric, which is the reason why you can breathe in the first place, you fucking idiot.
Well, we made a bunch of masks with my logo on it. So, you know, you’re wearing one of these logos on your face like that.
We, had JRE masks that we were selling during the pandemic. And Sanjay Gupta brought one in ai it was a gotcha. Like, you sell masks. Like, yeah, because people have to wear them, not because they make sense. Yeah. They don’t make any sense. You know they don’t make sense. Shut the fuck up.
That was one of the weirdest beginnings of quote of COVID. When I started really wondering how anybody could believe that this stupid surgical mask, which is supposed to stop, like, driplets of spit and food from your mouth dropping into a a wound as you’re operating, they’re not supposed to protect you from viruses.
That’s not what they’re there for. For. The fact that people started wearing those to and then some people were just wearing bandanas. And my favorite, which is maybe the dumbest of all time, people would wear that shield.
So it’s open air. Open air. All this is open. And then there’s a shield, and they would be walking down the street with a fucking shield over their face. Like, this is mental illness. That’s all this is. This is not this is just people responding to stress that they can’t handle, and they’re freaking out.
That’s all this is. This isn’t normal. And the more we allow this, the more we rationalize this, and the more we we enable this by not telling them they’re fucking ridiculous. Take your goddamn mask off when you come into the store. No. You can’t come into the store like you’re gonna rob it. It’s 2025.
Take that fucking stupid thing off. And the more you don’t you allow people to just continue with this delusion, they get in these social groups on on Twitter, and they talk about the power of the mask. And I feel so much better when I’m wearing a mask. Sana, you know, I’m I’m I’m being safer for others, and they all agree with each other.
I’m like, you’re you’re all you should be in an asylum. You should all go to Alaska and see what bears look like in the flesh. You should go go salmon fishing. Get the fuck outside your house. You’re sick.
Yep. Well, you know, I don’t wanna put a mask on because I’m pretty good looking and shit.
You know the problem. I hear you. Yeah. Jamie’s pretty good looking too.
Also, you’re a giant. Like, you with a mask on is scary because it’s like, what is he up to? Yeah. Why is he covering his face? What’s his plans?
Well, the doctor told me we had lunch with him about a week ago. He says the the one that tyler me quit smoking. He goes, when I first saw you, I was wondering, what the hell am I gonna do here? Because I I’m sitting in there, and he has no idea what my ailment is.
And so I am a big guy, and the one benefit that came from this is I don’t smoke. And I still do the CrossFit even though you look at me and you you can’t tell, but I’ve been doing it for a while.
Well, that’s great. Yeah. That’s more important really than anything. I would sai, if I had to choose between one thing that you should do to make yourself healthy, I would say sai. Maybe even over food. Yeah. I’d say maybe it’s close. It’s real close. Foods probably maybe but now you gotta exercise too. It’s almost they’re almost, like, cancel each other out.
Meh was equal rather. My trainer was Megan was telling me that, there’s a difference between sick care and health care. And I said, what is it? She goes, well, sick care is when you’re sick, you go to the doctor. Health care is your ai, all the things you do to keep yourself healthy.
And we’re not paying attention to the health care part.
You’re right. So we gotta get you fit. We
fit, gotta get you dieting.
We just gotta get you to eat only meat. Try that. Try that one.
What they call the keto? Carnivore. Carnivore?
That’s the move. I’m telling you.
Yeah. I do that. Whenever I do that, I feel way better. I do it like in sprints because I’m Italian and Italians love pizza and pasta. I love that shit. If I go to New York, I’m breaking my diet. I’m gonna get sandwiches from my man Giovanni’s Deli. I’m gonna I’m gonna eat Italian food.
I’m gonna go off. I need it. Every now and then, I just wanna have it just for the
Are you glad to have eggs on that one?
Yeah. You could have eggs. I eat eggs all the time. The whole idea is you’re only eating animal products. You’re I don’t eat anything else other than some fruit. I’ll eat like an orange or a banana here and there. I’ll have some blueberries with some yogurt. But the the idea is shah you’re really doing is mostly eating meat. And so most of my diet is red meat.
And when I eat like that, I feel so much better. I feel clear headed. I have more energy. Like, it’s more stable throughout the day. I feel like my brain functions better. When I eat carbs, I just start getting sloppy. I just start getting slow.
It’s like, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with carbohydrates. Don’t get me wrong. But I do think that they’re really easy to over consume. And if you’re a glutton, which I definitely ram. I’m a glutton. I will eat two pizzas.
If you give me some fucking good, some really good, like, New York pizzas, Ai eat two of those bitches. I will I will eat until I’m sick. I just have always been like that. I always eat too much food. I just I’m I I have an appetite that just it just won’t stop with pasta.
But not with steak. Steak cuts you off. There’s a thing about eating protein, steak, things like chicken. You don’t eat too much of it. You eat enough and then you stop. You it’s they have what’s called a high satiety level. Like high protein foods have a very high satiety level.
And sai, like, I’ll eat like a 16 ounce elk steak. I don’t wanna have nothing else. I’m good. But if there’s spaghetti there and if there’s some fucking macaroni and cheese, you know, if there’s potato salad, if there’s a little bit then I’ll start keep I’ll keep going. I’ll keep eating. And then I’ll have way more calories really than I need with the same amount of nutrients.
The thing is, like, for performance, for, like, athletes, I don’t think the carnivore diet is the right way to go. I think you should supplement with there’s nothing wrong with I don’t think there’s anything wrong with rice. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with, with vegetables.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with fruit. I think the real problem with a lot of people is pastas and breads and just processed food and garbage. You know, I think we’re just eating poison most of the day. I think if you can just eat regular whole food, I think you’re better off.
But I think you gotta even now, I think you have to clean your ai. Because I’ve been I keep hearing shit about rice having glyphosate on it. Is that is that true? They were I was reading this thing about rice being a, I know it’s the case with, corn and wheat. They think that’s why some people have what they perceive to be a gluten sensitivity. But they really probably are getting sick from glyphosate, which is so crazy to think.
But they’ve it sounds nuts, but then they’ve tested people and they found out the group that they tested, like, 90 of them had traceable levels of glyphosate in their blood. Glyphosate drift to ai, a problem for us all. Yeah. Here it is. This is from 02/2011. Fuck.
Damage inflicted by derelict glyphosate during this period is often invisible and not noticed until harvest. Damage is characterized by significantly decreased yields and milling. The rice often exhibits the first signal that has been hit with a drift kernel shaped like a parrot’s beak. This is so dark. And then you eat it. Yay.
It’s like, you know, the reality is farming and I’m no farmer. Right? Be clear. I don’t know what I’m talking about. But I’ve talked to a bunch of farmers. I’ve talked to, you know, these guys like Joel Salatin, who runs that Polyface Farms, or Will Harris, who runs ai runs White Oak Pastures.
These guys who run these regenerative farms, what they’re saying makes sense. They’re saying the other way is suicide. The other way is bad for the land. It’s bad for the people. It’s bad for the environment. They’re using tons of chemicals.
The way to do it is the way nature has been doing it for millions of fucking years. You have a bunch of cows, they shit in the ram, you have a bunch of pigs, they root things up, you have a bunch of chickens, they eat all the bugs, everybody lives together, everybody nutrient nutrient rich soil.
They’re all, like, a part of this complete system, this complete ecological system, and it’s carbon neutral. They sai that when they raise cows like that, they actually sequester carbon. The question is, can you feed everybody in LA and New York like that? I don’t think so. So it’s ai, what did we do?
We got so far ahead of ourselves that it seems like we’ve have this requirement for food that almost demands this ai of crazy farming. That’s where it’s fucked because if they don’t farm like that if everybody has to go to, like, a Joel Salatin, Will Harris model, is there enough land to grow enough meat like that?
Is there enough land to let all the pigs loose? Is there enough land to have all the chickens just roaming around? Is there enough land for that? I don’t know.
There’s some big farms on the way over that we saw coming across.
There’s a lot of people eating. There’s a single farm in LA, and there’s 20,000,000 hungry people just scarfing up food all day long. And you need all these these farms out there just constantly making life forms for people to consume. It’s really a crazy crazy thing that we’ve done.
Because we’ve, like, completely overpopulated areas where they don’t grow any food. It’s ai the dumbest strategy of all time. We rely 100% on transportation.
That’s right. And, you know, people say, oh, there there’s a revolution coming. It’s here. I mean, the revolution is here. What we’re seeing right now is history being made because the people that have been taken advantage of forever, in my opinion, are the people that are out there producing, the farmers, the ai.
And the guys that I think really control, they have their hand on the throttle of this country if they ever decide to take their hand off the throttle is the truckers. Without the truckers, nobody eats. You’re right. Nobody. You get nothing.
Yeah. That that those are the people that are gonna suffer the most with Ai. AI and automation. Once they have those Tesla trucks that can just drive themselves, they never get into car accidents. Those fucking things are everywhere. You never have to worry about them staying up all night and whether or not they’re gonna make a mistake behind the wheel.
Once they get that totally dialed in, we’re gonna have a real problem. That’s gonna be a real problem because you’re gonna have so many people out of work and so many people that they’re gonna say, hey. Figure it out. Well, they’ve been delivering your stuff. You’ve been depending upon them.
Every Amazon package you order, every time you get anything delivered to your house, anytime you’re moving, ai anytime you’re relying on truck drivers, and that job’s just gonna go away. Yep. And that’s a lot of people. I think didn’t we look up the number of people that drive trucks or drive that do, that are ai, whether it’s taxi ai I think they put them all together, like ai who drive for a living.
I think it’s more than a million. They have more than a million just truck drivers. That’s crazy. Ai, that one invention will put a million people out of work.
I don’t know. It’s gonna have to be an awful big truck to ai all the copper.
Have you seen those Tesla trucks?
They’re just the beginning. The ones that they have now are just the beginning. United States sai over 3,500,000 professional truck drivers, but the trucking industry is facing a shortage of drivers. Wow. So they need more. They have over 3,500,000, and they they need more. Google, Tesla Sai. This thing’s crazy looking. This looks like something straight out of a science fiction movie.
It’s a giant electric go to images. It looks like something out of a fucking science fiction movie. It’s a giant electric truck. It makes no noise other than the ai. Like, you hear the tires rolling around the ground.
You don’t hear any and this is the look at the seat of this fucking thing. Two screens. And it drives itself. And they’re going to be really good at driving themselves. Like, right now, they’re really good, but they’re gonna be really, really, really good.
They’re gonna be better than people, so they’re not gonna make any mistakes. And they’re gonna be safe. And as long as all their sensors are working and all long as all their equipment is reliable, they’ll be better at detecting accidents and stopping accidents and avoiding things than people are.
Elon said today they’re gonna start the driverless Teslas in Austin in June as well. Like for sai cabs?
Yeah. Bro, how long before they get attacked by the free Palestine people? That’s the other thing we found out through all this Doge stuff. How how much of this stuff that you see that you think is organic, these these riots and protests, how much of that is funded? How much of that is how much are we paying for the decisions that are costing us that? Like, how much?
We’re spending money to like, $27,000,000 went to the George Soros DA fund. That’s so crazy. That’s more than he puts in. We were paying to get shitty DAs elected. It’s nuts. And anybody doesn’t think it’s nuts, it’s ai, listen, you’re not paying attention. You’re captured.
You must be captured bryden and this is not saying that USAID doesn’t do good things. I’m sure they do. But the amount of things that they do that are ridiculous are this should concern you. And if it doesn’t concern you, we’re talking nonsense. We’re not having a real conversation.
That’s what I don’t get about the blues and the reds. Yeah. There’s gotta be some people on the blue side to go, it’s a good idea that we’re doing this. Yeah. What he’s doing is a good idea because we’re squandering a lot of money.
There’s a lot of people like that, but they’re quiet because the blues will come for you. Well, that
I don’t know if you noticed, but after the election, at least in my my opinion for myself, I had the right to make an opinion again. I can have an opinion.
Yes. I can have an opinion. Finally.
Finally, I can have an opinion after four fucking years.
Ain’t that weird? It did really feel like that. Like, the consciousness of the country was like a ram. Like, we’re gonna rat on you. You you you couldn’t just have fun and talk about things. You couldn’t have an opinion that wasn’t, like, ai out of mainstream news. You had a 100% tow the line or you were attacked.
I I put in one post, I put I have an opinion. I sana use it again. I think we should sink every commercial whaling ship in the ocean. Send them to Davy Jones locker.
Do you get a lot of support behind that? You get a lot of support from the environmental people too.
There’s a pushback on that 27,000,000 George Searle stuff.
There’s a long tweet if you want me to bring it up. Sure. Bring it up.
I thought it was 58,000,000.
That’s why ai one on the side that paid you, though.
Okay. The claim that Mike Benz establishes in his research is that USAID paid out $27,000,000 in grants to the Ai Foundation. Be the Tides Foundation is a major funder of the Soros Back Group. Fair and just ai framing only works. You have no idea what the Tides Foundation is or how large foundations like it operate.
Tides is an intermediary funder, meaning that it facilitates grants from or originating granters, the money people to receive grantees, the people getting the money. If you’re a big organization like USAID, you don’t give money to Tides to do with it what they will. You forward money through tides to a specific recipient of your choosing. Why do you send your money through middlemen instead of giving it directly?
For the same reason people always use middlemen to facilitate contracts because middlemen know how to deal with paperwork, to supervise contracts and so on. Did Sai give money to FJP? You can figure that out quickly for yourself. Go to USAspending.gov, sai keyword tides and awarding agency to USAID. Click submit.
Go to tab, grants tab. You will see four grants. Open each one. The ai share of USAID’s money came to a single grant of 24,600,000.0. If you click through, you see this ai as a civil society innovation initiative fiscal agent. Read that. That sounds Orwellian. Civil Ai Innovation Initiative fiscal agent.
The fiscal agent description means that the Tide Center acted as a middleman for the government’s money. The Civil Society Innovation Initiative was the end recipient. Already, the FJP USAID link has been broken. But what else can we say about this grant? Well, that doesn’t seem like it’s been broken.
That seems like you’ve given this money to an agency or to this this group. It doesn’t you haven’t disproven that this group is attached to Soros. Sai first off, CS two was awarded the grant in 02/2016, FJP. The Soros org was founded a year later in 02/2017. Still doesn’t mean they don’t work together now, and it doesn’t mean that he wasn’t a part of the people that were do I mean, like, it’s I’m not saying he is, and I’m not saying he was, but I’m saying this is not disproving anything.
As far as I could tell by googling, there has never been any organizational affiliation between the two organizations. Okay. By googling? That that’s it. You just googled.
I want you to Google vaccine injuries and tell me if there’s any. Good luck. Good luck. COVID nineteen vaccine injuries. Tell me that you can decide everything that you need to know about COVID nineteen vaccine injuries by a Google search. You’re not going to. Right? Okay.
So by googling, there’s never been any organizational affiliation between the two organizations. CS two’s work appears to be funding civil society organizations, CSOs abroad. What does that mean? As far as I can tell, that’s a little vague. It mainly means they give money out to nonprofits in foreign countries to do things like monitor and fight disease spread, monitor human rights abuses.
This sounds a little like whitewashing. Promoting digital security and so on. They do only good things, John. They definitely don’t get involved in shady characters that are trying to rewrite the way our legal system deals with violent criminals. Nah.
I Ai never understood Soros.
I don’t get it either. Elon Musk hates him. I I, you know, I I have a limited amount of knowledge, but I do know that he spends a lot of money on these, like, super progressive liberal DAs. I don’t know whether or not Mike Benz, who’s gonna be here soon, can really trace that 27,000,000. I’ll ask him.
But the end of the line is, like, this is all vague. Like, what is that what’s that 24,000,000 going to? Like, what what it it might be going to fight diseases. It might be or sure. Or you don’t know. How about you don’t know?
And all you did was Google whether or not those people know each other? That’s crazy. Doesn’t mean they do. It doesn’t mean it’s corrupt. It doesn’t mean it goes to Soros funds, but you didn’t disprove it.
Well, that’s anymore, you can’t hardly tell what’s true. I mean, the rumors that are floating around are is it AI? Is it true? Is it what what am I looking at?
And the and the rumors Ai we’re talking about rumors on Ai, and I’m going, sometimes you just can’t do anything about them. You just gotta let them run. And then if you can improve them, if you’re involved in it, improve it somehow to make it a better rumor. Yeah. One of the most recent rumors, and I was looking talking to Drew this morning, The the rumor that, Elon Musk was gonna put four commercials on the Super Bowl about Doge and all the things they’re ai things they’re doing.
I wonder if that’s even legal.
Right. But that seems like if you could make a stylish video about I wonder if that’s legal. Right? Like, I don’t know what the rules are. I don’t even know if it should be legal. Like, what are the rules in terms of if you’re if you’re involved in some sort of a government agency or a government discovery agency, which is ai with Doge is.
Right? If you’re involved in that, like, would you be able to propagandize to the people even in a positive way, even if it’s true? Like, make a video showing how amazing a job you’re doing and do it in a cinematic way that makes it compelling? That seems like a lot of influence. Right?
Yeah. It’s supposedly, he was gonna spend 40,000,000 on it or something like that.
Yeah. But that’s just the Internet.
I didn’t even ask him, and then I went online looking for them. Yeah.
Well, I was thinking every, at least, there’s gonna be one a quarter. Didn’t see one in the first quarter and the second quarter of the half. And, by then, the the game was kinda over.
Well, vatsal, like, when everybody thought that JFK Junior was gonna come back to life and show up in Dallas sana Yep. There’s a lot of those online that you have to wonder what those arya. Because, I used to think, oh, there’s just some idiot made this up. But now Ai more inclined to think that some of that is just more disinformation that’s designed to muddy the waters of truth. And the more of that, the better.
The more it makes it easy to, like, move stuff around and you you forget about other things ai, what’s Benghazi? I got this to worry about. And there’s, like, always some new thing that’s popping up everywhere. And it’s, like, keep you distracted completely. Uh-huh.
Trump’s gonna have four commercials about how Elon Musk commercials about how Elon Musk no. Nothing. Not one commercial. Yep. I did think it was interesting that Taylor Swift got booed.
We talked about that. There’s That was crazy. Max and Max and Drew out there was saying it’s because 75% of the people were Phillies fans in that stadium. I don’t know. Could be fake news.
The dude tweeted, I hate Taylor Swift. Jesus Christ. So ridiculous. Imagine, like, you being the people that are around him and you see that tweet, like, oh, fuck. Take his phone away. Satire. The claim about Elon spending $40,000,000 on ads for the Super Bowl originated from the TikTok account, Brian Banjo. Brian Banjo is a satire account.
Oh, okay. So people just ran with it. There you go.
It had the wrong date on it, apparently.
That makes sense. That makes sense.
I saw a clip this morning with George Lucas sai saying that he filmed the moon landing.
Oh, you meh, Stanley Kubrick?
Yeah. Yeah. Stanley Kubrick. That is an actor that’s doing that. And that’s why it’s like a really close cropped footage of him. You don’t ai zoom in. He doesn’t quite look like Kubrick, but he looks like a weird old guy with a beard. And so if you don’t know what Kubrick looks like Yeah. It’s yeah.
Not Kubrick. But if anybody faked the moon landing, it was that guy.
What about Buzz Aldrin? Have you he I think he came out and sai, no. I would I would know. We didn’t land there.
Well, he said some weird stuff, but the weird stuff you could attribute to, like, Biden type weird stuff. Like, when you get old, sometimes the the old dome don’t work so good, and you Yeah. Your words come out goofy. Like, he was talking to that young girl because it didn’t happen. We never went. Like, he said something weird like that.
But I think he as a conspiracy theorist, I wanna believe that that’s him letting everybody know. That’s not nearly as interesting as the, the Neil Armstrong one. The Neil Armstrong one is crazy. And this is at the twenty fifth anniversary of the moon landing. He gives a speech in front of America’s best and brightest high school students. And instead of saying, I went to the moon. It was amazing.
He gives the most cryptic explanation for what they have to do in order to progress in science. Play it for me, Jamie. Because when you see it, when you listen to it, like, what the fuck is he saying? And why would you ever say that when you’re giving a speech to the best high school students in the country at the White House? Why would you say this?
Anniversary of the event in 1994. Neil Armstrong made a rare public appearance and held back tears as he spoke these brief cryptic remarks before the next generation of taxpayers as they toured the White House.
Today, we have with us, a group of students among America’s best. To you, we say we have only completed a beginning. We leave you much that is undone. There are great ideas undiscovered, breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of truth’s protective layers.
What the fuck does that mean? Breakthroughs for those who can remove one of truth’s protective layers. Truth’s protective layers? What the fuck does that mean? Like, why would you say that? That is so cryptic. I don’t care what reasonable explanations you have. That is undeniably cryptic.
And if you’re a person that did something in 1969 that no one’s come even close to recreating today, it’s a little weird.
It’s a little weird. And that’s just part of what’s a little weird about it. It’s a little weird that it’s got a almost sai religious connotation to it, where people wanna believe in it ai they believe in the resurrection. They wanna believe in it despite any evidence. I believe in the resurrection more. How about that?
Take that rumor and twist it around however you want. Make it make it something you can deal with.
The the moon landing one, I’m like, I don’t know. I don’t think so. I don’t know. But if I had to guess, I don’t think so. And then, what’s really weird is we had that Bart Sabriel guy on. That was his meh, Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon. He was showing us some footage where the Russians had used AI to do an analysis on some of the photos from the moon, and they said that they were deceptive.
So they use AI on all these other images that can shah us, like like, a high 90% accuracy, whether or not something’s been fucked with. And they’re like, these are all these have been monkeyed with. It’s all edited.
You don’t know what to believe. I mean, I just saw a clip yesterday with my voice again talking
Ai sent you something. I sent you one of them.
Oh, yeah. No. It has you and me in a talking like ai, and we’re talking about some space enterprise with starships and shit. And I’m going, how do they do this?
They can do a whole podcast with your voice now. Now not only could they do a whole podcast with your voice, AI could generate the content. Ai, you’d say, I wanna talk to John Reeves about biological evolution and what the current state of science is and what the future holds for us.
And that’ll be used in the clip that we’re gonna see within a week
Probably. Your voice. Shah. Probably. Because it they could make a one hour podcast with you just relaying the current state of the art and science. And this is really wild. And it’s probably gonna get worse. Like, it’s gonna be it’s gonna be so good that I’m gonna think it’s you, or I’m gonna think it’s me. I’m like, maybe I forgot about that one.
You know, as I get older, you know, I forget shit. You know, I I think it’s true.
I think that’s a defense mechanism. I don’t wanna remember. Mechanism.
Built a city. Yeah. Too ai.
I don’t wanna remember that one. I’ll forget about that one. But, you know, we we both made it around one more time around the sun. Yeah. And, it’s been an unbelievable year, you know, the what we’ve both seen in the last year.
It’s definitely been a it’s a wild time to be alive. Right?
Yeah. Ai, filled with turmoil.
I think it’s be also because it’s so quick. The information that you can get is coming at you from every direction
Instantly. Instantly. But in 1920, that wasn’t happening. No. It wasn’t happening in 1880. No. It was ai you didn’t know, like, when Seward bought Alaska. That was you didn’t know what why he did vatsal the everybody said Seward’s Folly. How about Seward’s genius?
They they thought it was a bad deal.
Yeah. Ai much $7,000,000 for Alaska.
2¢ an acre. Now let me tell you something. A guy named Klaus Nasky, who’s a doctor of history at University of Alaska, I used to teach his kid how to swim. Him and I were at a social function someplace, and we were talking. And we’re talking about the purchase of Alaska, and he goes, you know why we did that.
Right? And I said, well, yeah. Seward wanted to buy it and $7,000,000. He goes, yeah. We gave $7,000,000 to Russia. I said, okay. That’s yeah.
They sold it to us. He goes, why do you think they did that? I said, I don’t know. They said it’s because the SEALs were gone. You know, all the they had gotten all the SEALs trade done. He was that’s not why.
During the civil war, Russia blockaded Charleston Harbor with their warships, and it helped the North win the civil war. And a bill for that was $7,000,000. And they knew they couldn’t just go out to America and say, yeah. The Russians helped us win the civil war. Really? This is what he told meh.
Doctor of history. And I and I said the same thing. He goes, yeah. He goes, nobody talks about it. Nobody even mentions it.
But Russia took the 7,000,000, and they gave us Alaska. That’ll justify this $7,000,000.
Wow. What do you think about the idea that The United States taking over Canada?
Well, it makes Alaska the third largest fucking state. First, we got it to get Greenland. Let’s get Greenland so we got them surrounded kinda.
I thought he was just joking around about Canada, but he seems serious.
Well, I think Drew Drew was talking about this the other day. Canada’s got seven I I don’t know sure how many provinces, but they’re different. And so what they might wanna do is make seven new states because the people in Alberta do different stuff Yeah. Than the people in
You can’t just have the state of Canada.
No. Because they’ll it’d be ai LA and New York calling the elections. No.
It’d be way worse because Montreal and Quebec is French. I mean, it’s basically French speaking. Everyone speaks French. It’s it’s so different than the rest of the I mean, there’s a lot of French speaking people in Canada in general, but it there’s way more on the East Coast.
The the Vancouver and Montreal are very different places. Like, you gotta they have to be different cities, man. You can’t different states. You can’t have them be just one part of a big country. If there’s seven different provinces yeah. So we have seven new states now. Fine. Why not? I agree.
We can’t count past 51? What is that? Well, people ridiculous.
People forget what it’s like to expand America. The last time we did it was Alaska. People just get scared of it.
They get scared of the idea of the empire. The American empire expanding. It makes you think about Hitler. It makes you think about fascism and dangerous, you know, military decisions that get made, take over countries, wars that happen. That’s what people get scared of. But if Canada just wants to join, that’d be pretty cool.
Yeah. They got a lot of natural resources.
Yeah. Also, their government’s goofy as shit. You guys don’t even have freedom of speech. You should be protected by the constitution.
Yeah. Then they get the second amendment.
Yeah. And the the well, they used to have gun laws over there that were pretty favorable. But then when Trudeau came around, like, you can’t even you can’t even give someone a handgun, I don’t think, anymore.
It’s gotten well, I know a few Canadians. They don’t like they don’t like Trudeau. They don’t like what he’s done to the country.
Well, there’s gotta be somebody that likes him. He keeps winning.
the The numbers. So kind. They’re so nice that they’re, like, willing to give a a dork like that a second or a third chance.
Well, the the farmers don’t like them, I don’t think. The the miners don’t like them.
Well, certainly, the truck drivers that are involved in that
convoy, that was crazy. And not just the trucker convoy, but the people that donated to the trucker convoy got their bank account shut down Meh. Which is just crazy. That’s just crazy. Like, you you gotta have laws against that. You that’s tyranny. You can’t allow people to shut down someone’s entire bank account.
They can’t feed themselves because they donated to a person who’s politically opposed to what you’re doing.
Yep. Yeah. Anyways, Alaska, I think, coming from the guy that told me vatsal, he’s dead now, but I believe it. But back then, there was no fact checkers. There was no way to tell people what was going on. So let’s just tell them we we we bought it.
That’s interesting. Russia helped The United States win the civil war. You see, have you ever found anything on that, Jamie? No. I’ve never heard that before. I wouldn’t be ai, though. Well, the I’m sure back then, they could hide all kinds of shit too.
The North didn’t have the the Navy.
How much do you think Greenland’s worth?
Well, I was talking to my accountant this morning. I think Greenland, if it became a state, it would be the largest state in the country.
Oh, yeah. It’s a big spot.
And then Alaska would be second, but Texas is always gonna be screwed. No matter how many more states we get, Texas is always gonna go down the list.
But still huge. Greenland, then Canada, Alaska, America. I kinda like Mexico too. Might as well take the whole all of it.
I don’t think the Meh would be down with that. The Mexicans would probably be very upset if we try to take over Mexico. But it would be nice if Mexico had the same opportunities as Meh, and that it wasn’t so so attractive to try to swim across the river to get here.
Well, what I don’t get, Joe, we got a pretty good navy. We got a pretty good air force. We got a pretty good military base. What the fuck are we doing not sending a tens down there into Mexico and taking those fentanyl labs out? What are you gonna do, Mexico? You don’t like us doing that? We just said they’re terrorists. We’re gonna blow up their fucking buildings.
Well, tell them we’re coming, but we’re gonna blow the fuck out of that stuff. They’re gonna have no infrastructure left. What are you gonna do? No more avocados? Give me a fucking break. Send some a tens. I’ve I’ve had a tens on my ground. They’re buzzing my ground for years.
They practice on my ground, but they’re awesome. Those pilots are good. Yeah. Couple of warthogs in there, and they’ll take care of business.
What do you think that looks ai? A war with the cartels?
I’ve stumbled across this, but that doesn’t exactly say the same.
It says ai all this is transpiring, one of the most unusual events diplomatic and naval occurred. Russia dispatched her Atlantic and Pacific naval squadrons to The United States ports. They arrived in New York and San Francisco respectively in September 1863 at a time when the tide of war had turned in the favor of the North at Gettysburg and Vicksburg.
The fleets remained in The United States’ waters for about seven months before being ordered to return to their homeland. Oh.
They had a they didn’t they must have had wooden ships then because I just found their first, ironclad ship was built in Britain in 1861. Woah. Instead, it stayed in Russian waters the entire time. Woah. Because they had their own civil war just after.
Oh, they were going to war with wood ships. Gangster.
They knocked the shit out of the speak population.
Oh, yeah. They’re really good at what they did.
What did they used to be like? Seals everywhere?
Yeah. And are they endangered now? Like, what’s the?
I don’t really know because I don’t we don’t have any in our near arya, but I have a friend that’s a mechanic who’s telling me he had a lady come into his auto shop and, said something was wrong with her engine. And so he went out and told her, he sai, it looks like you blew a seal. No. And she said, no. I had tuna fish for lunch. Ram.
You don’t tell a comic a joke, do you? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. I’ve been saving that one.
I know that, native, Alaskans are allowed to hunt seals, and they eat them. Yeah. But regular people can’t.
There’s weird rules on that, though. Yeah. You might be able to shah, but
you can’t Subsistence subsidence harvesting. Yeah. You ever watched that show Ai Below Zero? I have seen that.
Yeah. Part of that show was, like, this one guy was living with this, native Alaskan wife and their kids, and they would go hunt the seals. And she would, like, shoot the seals, and she had to pull the trigger. Then he could help, like, butcher them up.
So there’s about a 41,000 in non glacial areas now. The Wikipedia says that there were 300,000 for once population in eighteen fifties.
Oh, no. That’s sea otters.
Oh, so yeah. Just Ai guess I had read that wrong.
It says once a population of, $300,000 300,000 sea otters are all was almost extinct. Russia needed money after being defeated by France and Britain in the Crimean War. The California Gold Rush shah that if gold were discovered in Alaska, Americans, Canadians could overwhelm the Russian presence in what one scholar later described as Siberia’s Siberia.
However, the principal reason for the sale was that the hard to defend colony would be easily conquered by British forces based in neighboring Canada in any future conflict, and Russia did not wish to see its archrival being next door just across the Bering Sea. Therefore, emperor Alexander saloni decided to sell the territory. The Russian government discussed the proposal in 1857 and 1858 and offered to sell the territory to The United States.
So it was before all that in the civil war, hoping that its presence in the region would offset the plans of Britain. However, no deal was reached as the risk of an American civil war was more pressing concern in Washington.
Plausible speak for our new news today in this story.
What he said about the Russian ships that ai of fits it could happen.
Yes. Because it says 1857 to ‘8 1888, 1858, they agreed to sell it and offered to sell. So they agreed, but then they had to put it on on the back burner because of the war. So then after the war, they bought it. So it might have been that they said, look, we’ll still buy it, but we help us out.
This is how we gotta cover it.
Yeah. Well, this ai like doctor Emeritus in history. I mean, he knows his shah. Or he did The
problem is then you have to trust those guys. I’d rather trust Wikipedia.
Yeah. Ai I read on Wikipedia’s gotta be true.
Way less sea otters now. 70,000.
Oh, there’s only 70,000 left?
That’s sea otters, though?
Yeah. Sea otters are vicious little fuckers.
That slings me up there in Nome. He sees a lot of that kind of stuff. Otters? All the sea life up there.
Yeah. There’s a giant difference between, like, the Coastal Alaska and regular Alaska. Coastal Alaska is wild.
He was he he went out to slayed the king crab last year.
Oh, I’m sure. Yeah. But that is not worth dying for. That show, the the most deadly harvest or deadliest harvest, whatever show, I watched that show. I go, guys, get out of there.
I haven’t seen that show.
You never seen that show? You know the show, Jamie. Right? The it’s what is it called? Deadliest Harvest? The the crab fishing show.
Isn’t that what it’s called?
Deadliest Catch. That’s right.
Yeah. Deadliest Catch. That’s right.
Yeah. They’re way out in the middle of this freaking ocean there.
Yeah. And they’re fucking rocking back and forth. Guys fall overboard sometimes. Yeah. Fuck that.
Yeah. No. That’s that’s crazy.
Fall for crab. And I get it. Ai I want crab too, but not that bad. Guys.
You get it from Slingsby. Yeah. Big crabs. You know, he goes out, drills through the ice and brings them up.
Oh, yeah. He gets them in the wintertime.
It’s right offshore, right there in Nome.
So you can walk on the ocean ai?
Out there? Yeah. Yeah. How thick is the ocean ice?
Thick. Thicker than fuck.
I didn’t even know we had that. I mean, I got obviously because of glaciers, but I didn’t even think that there was, like, places where you could walk over frozen ocean and drill through it.
They have a they have a gold mining show that they they film off the coast to know where they cut through the ai, and they send divers down with suction dredges. Woah. It’s on Discovery Channel.
Dive through a fucking hole in the ocean ice.
Forget the name of that show.
What is that cold plunge like? How long can they stay down there?
Some of them stay down there all day. Eight hours.
They have suits on that keep and they have warm water pumped into your wetsuit or your dry sai.
How how deep are they down there?
Yeah. Jag seagull. Yeah. I’ve met her before. She’s a nice lady. She’s an opera singer.
This is crazy. This the way that people live so differently in the world, That there’s people that this is their reality. They get a little ice fishing hut. They set them up.
Oh, it’s what they’re doing is just unbelievable.
So what’s he doing now? He’s cutting holes in
the ai. Ready to go down? Yeah. That’s Speak Pomerecki.
And this guy’s got this sai. It’s and so how deep is he going?
He got down about 30 feet. Fuck that. Oh, Jesus Christ. There you go.
Fuck this. Dude, fuck this. This this creeps me out just watching it. And so they go all the way to the bottom to get gold. They must have a lot of gold down there.
There’s a lot of gold down there.
Like, how much is this worth? 29 degrees Fahrenheit temperature of the water. Motherfucker.
I mean, he has to meh, he has to get through the overburden.
Yeah. I mean, he does quite well.
What what’s quite well? Like, what do you think these guys pull a year?
Well, they probably make more off Discovery Channel than they do gold mining. Really? Yeah. I think.
They’re wow. I don’t know.
I know a few of these guys. They don’t get much gold, but they’re But
they’re willing to do that
Yeah. But they get a pretty good paycheck. They’re you gotta remember something. You know this. There’s nothing real about reality TV.
We did we did a stint with the Discovery Channel. I’m sorry. National Geographic. No more.
Well, yeah. I mean, they they want they wanna make drama. They wanna pit the kids against each other.
Yeah. Yeah. We don’t no. No. No. No. No. No. We don’t do that shit.
Isn’t that hilarious? Like, they that’s all those shows. All those shows are like that. They’re all like someone’s squabbling. It’s all housewives and
You gotta hate on her and hate on him.
All these little breakers? Yeah. These are good.
So you’d you’re off nicotine entirely?
Well, I do this in once in a while. Once in a while. Doctor’s ai? My doctor said that,
These are Tucker Carlson’s. Makes his own Alps.
Oh, cool. No. Ai, I was talking to the doctor. You know, he says you might go through some nicotine withdrawals, and I said, no. I won’t. I quit. I’m done. He says it’s not the it’s not the nicotine that’s hurting you. It’s the smoking that’s hurting you, the carcinogenics going in your lungs and all the chemicals and all that bullshit. He says nicotine’s as good as caffeine. Mhmm.
Sai straight up nicotine’s fine.
And I’m going, okay. I like that. I’ve tried it.
It’s also it’s a legitimate cognitive enhancer. It’s a legitimate what they call a nootropic. It really does affect you cognitively. The thing is, like, you’re the best way to get it is a cigarette and, like, doing it that way is killing you. It kills everybody. Just takes robs you.
Gives you something, then it robs you.
Gives you something, takes sai little away, and you don’t notice. You don’t notice.
And I ai my case, I got to the point in my life where I’m going, I’ve done it for so long. Something’s gonna get me. Yeah. But now I realize, hey. It won’t be it won’t be that. It won’t be smoking. It might be a a a bear coming, you know, coming up on me without me seeing it. Ai drive a cat over the edge. I don’t know what’ll happen.
But I honestly never thought I’d get past 50 when I was growing up. Really? I thought I’d be dead by 45.
Child of the seventies, man. It’s all fucked up back then. Belts. Yeah. You know, the the there’s a former governor of Alaska named Walter Hickel that Richard Nixon appointed to be secretary of the interior in 1970. So he went and did that and, went into Nixon one day and says, look, the Vietnam War is wrong. Nixon Nixon goes, you’re ai. Now get out of here.
So he went back to Alaska became a governor, great governor, probably one of the best governors we ever had. And at some point, he was a Republican, but the Republicans already had a candidate. The Democrats had a candidate, so he ran as an Alaskan for independence candidate.
Their part party platform was to secede from The United States, And I used to be the treasurer for that group. I’m going, I like this guy. That sounds like fun. Let’s do that. That guy got elected.
got and Jack Coghill was his lieutenant governor. I knew him quite well.
Sai he wanted to become a country?
I still do. Yep. I’m telling you, my country just
You sana The United States to take over Canada, but you want Alaska to be its own country.
This was all when Biden was there. Ai thinking worst case scenario, we’re gonna get the girl that didn’t wanna be on your show. If we get her, I want Alaska to become its own country. We just we just gotta get away from this. It’s a train wreck. Yeah. But since Trump got in and he’s doing the things that he said he was gonna do, ai, I like the idea. You wanna expand Meh? Expand America.
It’s a good idea. It’s been done before.
So you’re willing to keep Alaska as part of America?
Why don’t you run for governor?
I would be a fun governor.
The way you said it, give it a go.
No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
Successful Alaska business, man.
Why don’t you run for governor?
No. No. No. No. I don’t have time. I’m busy.
I know you’re busy, but I I don’t No. I can’t do it.
You don’t need that in your life. I’m just kidding. I’m completely kidding.
People come up and go, give me some something. This is an issue. And I’m thinking, why is it an issue? I don’t give a shit about that. That’s not a good politician. Right. A a politician I know that I talked to one day is a state senator. He goes, here’s a trick. All you do when ai say that, you go, I see. That’s it.
You listen to them, I see, and you you don’t really care.
No. You don’t give a fuck.
Well, a lot of them definitely don’t. A lot of them are just using it as like an audition to become president. You know? They just wanna do good enough job to get the big job.
Well, president Trump just, announced recently that he wants to get a gas line built through Alaska. And talking about governors, governor Palin appointed me to be the gas line project coordinator for DOT back when she was governor. And there’s another guy that worked for DOT, named Frank Richards.
And so, I went to work to get a gas line permit written ai worked with a guy named Harry Noah, who was a commissioner under DNR’s. I’m sorry, under governor Hickel. He was a commissioner of DNR. So him and I worked on this permit to get a pipeline built through Alaska. Took us three years.
I’m the guy that wrote it. I’m the guy who signed it along with Harry. So when president Trump was on his doing an interview three days after he got elected, he goes, and we have a fully permitted pipeline in Alaska to go ahead and build a gas line through Alaska. I go, woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Stop the TV and back it up a little bit. I wrote the fucking permit. I signed the fucking permit.
He’s talking about some work that I did. That’s alright. So Frank Richards now is the president of the Alaska Ai Gas Line develop or project, and, they just inked a deal with Japan who came in and said, yeah, we wanna buy into this. It’s sai $44,000,000,000 project.
So what’s the hurdle for pipelines and for oil drilling in the past? Is it environmental? The people worried it’s gonna ruin the environment?
The, there’s a thing called ANWR, the Arctic National Wildlife Range.
I think it’s yeah. Something like that. And when the president renamed well, ANWR, you’re not allowed to drill in ANWR. You can’t drill for oil in ANWR. There’s a lot of oil there, but the feds said you can’t drill for oil there. You can’t produce oil out of there. But that was for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
But if you change it to the Meh National Wildlife Refuge, ai like the Gulf Of America, you might be able to drill in there.
Is that really all it takes? You just gotta rename it?
Apparently, the Gulf Of America works.
So they’re gonna redrill. They’re gonna start drilling in the Gulf Of America now? This, by the way, very hilarious.
Sai it at the inauguration was ai, this motherfucker. Like, this is such a crazy thing to say.
And he did it. He signed it yesterday on the way across the Gulf Of America. Yeah. I was in, where were we staying? On the way over in Louisiana having dinner, and I asked the waitress, I said, how far away are we from the Gulf Of America? What if that looks good to you. I don’t know.
Well, we’re very divided as a country. My hope is that what he does winds up being undeniably good. This is the best case scenario. That’s what I hope for every president. What happens is undeniably good, everybody benefits, and we all ai, like, hey. This is we’re gonna be okay.
But we should be united as a country. We shouldn’t be united only with the people of our political party. That’s stupid. We’re supposed to be one team. And, you know, this is the new coach or this is the new president. Let’s okay. Like, get on board. This is this is what’s happening now.
And if there’s something that you think is egregiously wrong, like all this USAID stuff, like, hey, maybe there’s some really good programs in there that we should all examine and we should reinstate. But they should examine it. The idea that you shouldn’t examine it, that there’s no argument for that.
Once you found $200,000,000 that goes to transgender animal tests, you know you got some fuckery. Like, you can’t spend $200,000,000 on transgender animal tests ai you’re $36,000,000,000,000 in debt and not spending any money on East Palestine. Yep. Like, what happened in that place?
What’s what what what what about the toxic spill in East Palestine? What about the the health effects of those people that deal with that burning toxic shit in their air for weeks and weeks? Yep. What happened to them? Anybody check?
Anybody go into that ground and see what the fucking the ground water’s like? Anybody dig that stuff out and fucking process it? Are they doing anything about that?
Not yet. They go in you can see videos where they stick sticks in the water and machine comes right out.
Bro, how about Flint, Michigan? How about that? Yeah. How about their water still fucked up?
Yep. Ai I get a glass of water?
Remember when Obama did that? This is not
a stunt. I want a glass of water.
And he sips it like this,
like a little lizard. He barely he barely drank it. It’s so crazy to ask for a glass of water where you know the water is polluted and you don’t even drink it. That’s so crazy. That’s so crazy. He didn’t even take a gulp. You ever see that? He sips it like this like this. Like, barely. Have you seen it?
Uh-uh. You should watch it.
You should watch it because it’s fun. It’s fun to watch because it’s so crazy. It’s almost like they were trying to talk him into it. And he was like, I’m not drinking that fucking water. And, like, listen, just drink a little bit of it. Just drink it’d be good for everybody.
Just go out there and say, can I go out a glass of water?
It is. There you go. You know, generally, I have not been doing stunts here, but, you know Watch this. And
Disused, a filter. You know, the water around this table, you know, was Flint water that was filtered. And it just confirms, what we know scientifically, which is, that, if you’re using a filter, if you’re installing it, then flint water at this point is drinkable.
Stop. Pause. If I was in the audience, I’d be yelling, chug chug chug chug chug. Get him gallons of that and then monitor his diarrhea. Okay? Let’s what are you talking? You didn’t even drink that. Make your pasta in that, sir. Go go make your rice in that water using a filter.
These people are so poor. They like, that’s a very impoverished community. I bet a lot of those people don’t have filters. So you’re saying if they don’t have filters, they’re fucked? Is that what you’re saying? And you only drank it like this. You barely drank it. It didn’t move.
The level of water didn’t change. Oh. You just dipped your tongue in there. You didn’t really drink. That’s so crazy to not drink it.
Well, we did eight years with that guy. Right? Yeah. We got out of a long relationship.
Well, ai of with all of them. You know? It’s just the the job of being a president is so hard. I used to sai, I I want Hillary to win because I want a woman to be president. So I ai they can’t fucking do that job either. Nobody does that job right. Everybody fucks it up. Nobody ever gets it right. It’s always just a disaster. Everybody half the country at least hates you.
The other ai ai percentages of the population, even on your team, are disappointing you because you didn’t
do exactly what they want you to do. We’ve got a we’ve got a pretty good group of legislators in Alaska. Yeah. Yeah. For the most part, they’re all you know, we’re gonna have their squabbles and stuff, but pretty much everybody on the same page.
I think you guys are different humans. Alaska’s just more durable, reliable people because you have to deal with the cold, and you got bears and moose and shit running around up there. Yeah. I think you meh it makes different people. When you live in the same neighborhood as grizzly bears, it just makes everything a little different.
Yeah. It it actually does. And the people are generally nice to each other Mhmm. And considerate.
Meh, they seem, like I said, more robust. When I was in Anchorage, we we me and my friend Arya went up there, did some shows, did a little fishing. We’re ai, these people are like better people. They’re ai more sana. Ai, everybody. Even just ai the regular people hanging out at the bar.
They, like, had their shit together more. And then we’re both like, I guess they kinda have to because ai, you freeze to death. You can’t just be a fuck off up here. It’s too goddamn cold, and you can’t just go wander in the woods. You’ll get eaten.
Ai, you you you’re fucking your food, Jack. You can’t go too far. Stay close. Stay with your people. Support each other. Someone has a flat ai, fucking help him.
Alright? Because you would sana get help too. You could die out there. That’s the difference.
I used to always think that if I go bear hunting, I’m gonna go with somebody who I can outrun. But now I get a lot of people asking me if I wanna go bear run bear hunting.
No. Yeah. You could be in the wrong spot. It doesn’t matter who’s running fast. That bear is gonna get somebody or all of you depending upon what’s going on, but that’s a dangerous kind of hunting. You’re hunting something that’s ai the apex predator of North America. Yep. And you don’t even eat it. I have a bunch of friends who go grizzly hunting.
And the way they put it like, first of all, you have to control the populations. Like, if you don’t, you get a situation that’s happening ai in Montana. Well, they wanna list them. But they’ve been delisted for so long. Like, the only place you can hunt grizzly bears in America is Alaska.
And a lot of people that live in Montana don’t think that’s good. They think they should put them back on the list because they’re just there’s way too many human interactions.
I have a grizzly bear hide I got from Slingby up and down. And, it’s on that eighteen eighty five pool table that I told you Oh, yeah. That you’re gonna I’m not gonna play on that pool table till you show up.
It covers that pool table.
They’re big animals, man. Especially the coastal ones. Have you ever seen one, ai, one of the coastal ones up close?
Not grizzly bears, but I’ve seen polar bears and stuff like that.
You’ve seen polar bears up there?
Well, not in Fairbanks. I’ve seen North Of Nome. Yeah? Yep. They have them up there. Sai mean, they they had one polar bear apparently. It’s I don’t know if it’s true or not, that walked into the interior of Alaska. I mean, it just went traveling.
Gonna have me a little cross country jaunt.
Well, they’re they they they eat nothing but meat.
Yeah. They’re badass motherfuckers. They’re the most badass of all of them. They are, just 100% predator. A sketchiest bear to be around. There’s this, video I was watching of these guys the other day that were in a truck, and, they were filming this polar bear as it just kept getting closer and closer, and then then they started panicking.
Okay. It’s ai 30 yards away, like shah sprinting distance. We gotta get in the truck and they get in the truck and the polar bear just climbed on top of the truck. It was like and he was like, we gotta start the truck and get the fuck out of here. Like, this thing’s gonna break the glass.
They’re bad. Yeah. You don’t you don’t wanna fuck with them.
They look like that’s just a can of meat to them. They don’t give a fuck about you. You’re just food. They live in a frozen wasteland. Anything that’s moving around is edible.
Yeah. Look at these guys. Bro, don’t do that. Do not do that. Please don’t do that. That’s so dangerous. That’s not your friend. Because that thing just wants to eat you. Isn’t it so weird? It’s so not worried about people because it’s not threatened by anything because it’s such a top dog that it just, like, will just wander right up to your building.
Hey, what’s inside? I smell meat. I wanna come in that building.
I’m hungry. Yeah. I talked about pool.
Last time you and I were talking, you said you had a friend that makes pool cues. Yeah. Here’s a chunk of mammoth ivory form. Woah.
This is my buddy Eric Crisp. He makes, sugar tree cues. This is beautiful, man.
That’s sai good solid chunk.
That’s a chunk of mammoth ivory. That’s wild.
The exterior on that’s the blue color is called vivianite. It comes from mineralization on frozen artifacts like that.
I’m gonna send him this. Yeah. And tell him to turn this into a masterpiece. Yep. He makes incredible pool cues, and he does use mammoth ivory. He uses it sometimes in the joint.
Yeah. You said you said you had one that
Had mammoth ivory in it. And
What is that, Jamie? Ai. Vivianite? Woah. God, that’s so beautiful.
That’s that’s the mineralization you see on that. We find it’s actually easy to find bones sometime because they’re colored blue.
Yeah. Yeah. I have some that are really, really blue.
That, ai, the step bison skull that you gave me is a that thing freaks people out. They’re like, how old is that? Like, well, we have to get it tested, but it could be 10,000 years old.
It could be 40,000 years old. Jeez. And when it was found over the hill from us, 38,000 years old. Wow. I haven’t tested any of my steppe bisons. Wow. It’s $400 a pop, but I would bet that one’s at least 20,000, 30 thousand years old.
I, whenever I have anybody on that’s ai an ancient history expert that’s interested in, like, some of the lost civilization guys, we always talk about your place. Because I’m like, that that’s a place where it seems like that’s evidence that something took place there that killed everything all at once.
Something came in hot, dude.
Something came in hot. And the way you describe it too that there’s a layer of carbon where it looks like scorched earth.
Burt bedrock, burt gravel, you know, deep, deep, 50 feet down. And, since we talked last, I think I kinda figured some things out. Yeah. All that material that has ended up where we’re at came in. I think we talked, but it came in some kinda water event. Some flood. Yeah. And that’s called the back channel to the to the pay what we’re we’re digging up ram pay out of.
So there’s a back channel that goes through that valley that’s pretty decent in in in gold. I mean, pretty rich. And the miners used to drift mine that because they couldn’t bucket line dredge it. And so it goes around where we’re at and keeps going downstream. So when we moved from where we were at down to let’s go find the back channel, and we set up over here where we started on the left limit.
We started going back up, and we found some drift mines up there. And I this bone here, I think, was from an old drift mine a couple hundred years ago, you know, that before the discoveries were even made. Some guys were out there digging around and had a had an old drift mine going.
Yeah. Because what did you date this to? The date this That’s
Years old? And this is, what kind of an animal?
Step bison. Wow. Either step bison or could be bear. I’m not sure.
How crazy is that? They were around 200 years ago. Ai think that was a bear?
Could I I’m not I don’t know.
What the fuck? Imagine the size of that fucking thing. Ai, that’s his shin.
I don’t know. You you got you got some experts in here, and they’ll tell you what it is. Yeah. We call that the spitzer bone.
Next time I got a biologist in here, I’ll say, where do you think that comes from? It would have to be a very specific kind of biologist. Right?
A paleontologist worth his waiter. I mean, he should know. I’m not that.
How many more things have they discovered in the East River?
They haven’t told me, but there is, I mentioned last time, a research vessel that was out there. And in this business, if someone makes a discovery on my property that’s significant, they don’t talk about it. They don’t want anybody to know about it. But there was a discovery made not by dirty water Don or Dan Don. He’s still out there and he’s found all kinds of stuff.
He posted on his Instagram
he does ai. And he’s found it in the exact same place that you were told that the museum dumped it off.
Yep. And, I posted a letter or part of that report that I was hoping that if somebody I like people to think. Here’s here’s where it’s located. Okay? Here’s where it was dumped, and it said at the same point where they dumped it, where Meh dumped it is where the New York City hospital dumped their stuff.
How hard would it be to go to the hospital and go, look at your records and tell me where you used to dump stuff in the nineteen forties? Just find out. Just ask them. Ram and H ain’t gonna tell us.
Right. But if you know the location where dirty water dawn found that stuff, it’s gotta be in there. Right?
Can you go to his Instagram, Jamie?
Meh many different things has he recovered so far?
I think he’s There’s at least two. Mammoth and bison and, a jawbone. It could be a horse. I haven’t seen any of it with my own eyes. I haven’t it’s
And how much did they supposedly dump in that river?
And here’s what I was gonna tell you. Someone with a research vessel with side scanning sonar and all that stuff apparently found something. I found a mound in the river. It’s a like, a hundred droop probably knows better than me. Hundred feet long, 40 feet high. Woah. 60 feet wide.
Now that that wouldn’t be 50 tons, but it could be a whole bunch of other stuff, and and that’s why the report said this will be a significant challenge to future archaeologists. This was written in ’49 to future archaeologists, and I’m going, like, are the archaeologists from human things?
You’re we’re talking about paleontology, which is bone things, but Ram is the one shah called it archaeological exploration.
So do they have human bones as well?
Sai, hypothetically, on your property, they found human bones too and just dumped them in the river?
Why don’t they why don’t they come clean with the saber tooth tigers?
What do you mean by come clean with the saber tooth tigers?
Well, the experts out there will tell you that saber tooth tigers weren’t found in Alaska.
But you have found saber tooth tiger skulls?
Well, so are they. There’s I have a correspondence, posted recently, two pages. It’s filled with unbelievable things that, yeah, that’s one right there.
That’s dirty water dawn. It says that this is the lower jawbone to a step bison.
He’s got some other stuff in there too. Right, Jamie? Like, maybe a tusk or something, some other things? Yep. Yeah. Look at that bone. Step bison, tibia. So what are you saying though? Why would they dump off human remains?
They say that well, the letter says we have yet to find any human remains, but we found spear tips. Well, we found mammoth bones with spear tips in them, and we found that stuff.
Do you have a photo of a mammoth bone with a spear tip in it?
Yeah. My daughter’s pulled up a big mammoth hip bone, and it’s got a spear.
Bone Rush, Alaska. I meh, our No.
But where’s it? Where can where can we see that image?
Oh, on on your page. Do you have that thing with the spear spear tip still in it?
Spear tip’s out, but we have the bone. We have two we have a couple bones like that, Joe.
In fact, Ai posted a picture of twelve or I think it’s around twelve spear points that were sent to AMNH that disappeared. Shit disappeared.
Well, you know what? I was talking to a guy the other day about this, and he was saying that he thinks what happens is Dan Richards, that it goes to wealthy people. Oh, yeah. The wealthy people offer them a bunch of money. Wealthy donors, they wanna get it for their collection, and he was talking about a bunch of different stuff that goes missing.
I have a a letter I just posted here just in case we wanted to talk about it from Childs Frick who was head of AM and H back when this was all going on. His dad was Henry Frick. His dad was the most hated man in America for a while for killing his people. He was a steel guy, a steel steel industry founder.
Yeah. They wanted overtime pay, and they didn’t wanna work so hard. He brought in the, the gang, one of those hired thugs to the Pinkertons or Oh, really? Whoever it was.
Meh, I don’t know how many they killed of his his guys. He was ruthless. Henry Frick was ruthless, and his kid Ai was the one that set this deal up, this tripartite agreement, which is also included in this letter about Ram and H’s responsibility with these bones was to just take those of scientific value and do a report on every one they took.
They took over forty years. They took tons and tons and tons of them. Did no reporting. Nothing. Dumped 50 tons in the river because they didn’t have a place to store them, ai. They didn’t care.
But why would they dump human bones? Because it would think I I would think that that would be very valuable. You’re saying archaeology, so you think it’s just just spear tips and shit like that?
They found human bones. I’m willing to say that. Yeah. They found them.
It would also be very confusing if you found Alaskan spear tips in the East River. That would be the confusing thing for archaeologists, I would imagine, they’re saying too, kinda. Right?
Well, you find a you find a bone with a spear tip sits in it arya bone that obviously had a spear tip in it because of the way it’s broken. I mean, I have a baby mammoth hip bone that is like that Yeah. Ai by, reputable paleontologist.
I’m looking for here’s just a for instance, I stumbled across New York Times articles, talking about
Unearthing the secret of New York’s mass graves.
Back from since the nineteenth century.
Hiring prisoners for 50¢ an hour to jail inmates paid to move mass graves. There would have been no markings of who was what.
Oh, so they’ve dumped that in the river too?
it is. I mean They just dumped the bodies in the river. How gross.
They didn’t use cautions until recently.
That’s nuts. What about vampires?
them in stuff, but, like, a a real nice box.
Come on, man. Did you see Dracula? Yeah. People are gross. You know, they’ve been throwing things in that river forever. Yep. You know, like most of the world. You go around rivers and most of the industrialized world, those rivers are disgusting.
Well, our state legislature, I told you last time I was gonna go political on this. I’ve got no desire to litigate this thing. Litigation just takes a long time. Politically, I told you last time, we’re gonna go this route, and I have a a letter Ai just posted from the Alaska State Legislature to AMNH to return the bones
From the senate, majority. The guy that wrote that’s by a fellow by the name of Click Bishop, and, he was the senate president signed it with him. But Click is a good, honest, decent gold ai legislator. He was termed out this time and decided not to run again because I suspect he’ll run for governor here, and he’d probably win in a couple years.
And Click is one of those guys that wants the bone back. We met with him and his chief of staff, the president of the university, and the museum guys and some other state legislators. And, ai want them back.
This is very interesting. We understand there are unopened crates sitting in storage in New York. They present an opportunity for further scientific discovery in fields such as paleontology, ecology, and anthropology. Therefore, facilitating the return of this collection is crucial to ensure access for researchers, educators, and students within Alaska, thereby advancing scientific knowledge and understanding of the state’s natural history.
There are researchers in Alaska ready and waiting to open these crates that have been collecting dust in your basement. Yeah. Get at it. Give up the boxes.
Yeah. Yeah. Bring them home. Bring them home. Well, Ai made the offer to build a research facility, store everything. We’ll bring them all back here. The scientists can have access to them, but the bones are not leaving Alaska. They’re not leaving Alaska.
You don’t trust them anymore?
I don’t. It shouldn’t. And I get a lot of people, oh, I need a I need a mammoth bone ram my our studies. You’re just trying to collect something.
Yeah. Fuck off. I’ll never get it back.
Come on up and find it. Yeah. You know, come find them. They’re, you know, they’re all over the place.
That’s what’s nuts is that you keep finding them. Like, what was that event like that led so many bodies to be in this small area? Because you said it’s only, like, five acres or something like that?
2.1. Two point one. Yeah. We added maybe a point, another point one.
But there’s another area that you said that’s a little larger?
Yes. Downstream makes this one look like a piker.
It’s a mile long. Woah. This is only And you’re
So this main area where you’re pulling most of this stuff is only 2.1 acres. Yeah. That’s crazy. That is what a dump of bodies it must have been.
Yeah. It was incredible. So when we started back down at the mouth and headed up the left limit, we hit some fairly modern day drift mines on that side until we got farther up. And we went all the way up to where we had been set up before, and we crossed back over tracing this, back channel because that’s where the gold was.
We didn’t get maybe 50 feet, and we’re finding these steel tubes sticking out of the ground. Well, that’s how they used to melt permafrost, but this sai virgin ground that would never been mined. So we kept going, and we found some pretty significant things over there. And we’re on the we’re on the we’re on the hunt.
Ai mean, imagine what the event must have looked like to eat all those bodies in one small area. I mean, it only makes sense that that was a mass extinction event. Right?
Am I wrong? It went over thousands of years because we’ve dated anywhere from 40,000 year old bones to, you know, 12,000 year old bones in that deposit.
Wow. So So everything kept dying there. So it might it might have been multiple events.
Yeah. Ai have might have been.
Well, that was one of the things they thought about the Younger Dryas impact theory. Right? They think there was multiple times where that happened. And then, I wonder what the population density was like of animals back then too. Because we do have these enormous animals that are very difficult for predators to hunt and they manage to get into large numbers and they can defend themselves.
Ai, if you have a a large population of wooly mammoths and bisons and steppe bisons and fucking saber toothed tigers up there. What the fuck did that look like? Like, if you’re finding that many bones, imagine going back in time thirty thousand years ago and just being a fly on the wall and seeing what life was like back then.
Well, we can’t seem to ai anybody who’s willing to come up there and study it. You know, I’ve made all these offers, generally.
Because of the restrictions? Because they’re scared that you’re gonna own everything and you’re gonna
Well, the two of the employees at AMNH happened to have a conversation with somebody that is related to the state of Alaska or employed by the state of Alaska where they sai,
don’t want the bones to get into Reeves’ hands because they’ll lose. The scientific community will no longer have access to them, and they’re real vatsal, and we think he’s gonna sell them. Now the people that he sai that to was with the of some legislatures, university employees. And where we were at, you couldn’t even count the fucking number of tusks.
And so here’s That’s such an
ignorant thing to sai. Because if you’re gonna sell them, you already have way more than you need to sell.
We’re not we’re not there to sell tusk. I wanna figure out I’m goofball this way. What the fuck happened? Why did 80 65% of the world’s megaphone or North Meh ai it go all extinct all at once? Yeah. What the fuck? Yeah. And they have in that collection that they didn’t dump in the river, in my collection was let’s say it’s a 2,000 square foot or 2,000 piece jigsaw puzzle.
I got 42 pieces over here. They got the rest. I’m not gonna solve anything with 42 pieces. I want it all. Put it all back in Alaska.
Let the state of Alaska study the fuck out of it, and we will tell you how the extinction event happened. It’s been paleontologists know that, but they don’t have money. They don’t really sana put up with the shit they have to do to get it. You know how hard it is to dig in ice in permafrost?
Well, I see those hoses you use.
Yeah. But I’m not digging it. I’m thawing it. Right. Take a scalp. You know how the paleontologists see them on TV with the little scalpel and, you know, toothbrush and shit. That don’t fly around there. You gotta you gotta melt it and get it the hell out of there. That’s people ai for how we do it.
But if we don’t do it, we don’t get it. And we’re not gonna use mechanical equipment on it because I don’t wanna destroy it. Ai could strip that old 2.1 acres in two shifts, and I’d lose every fucking bone. Could be smashed. Right. You run a d 10 across that stuff.
ai, man. Of course. No. The way you’re doing it seems
like the only way to do it. It is the only way to do it.
It’s just all these paleontologists, they’re all connected to universities. Right?
They’re all connected that way, and they don’t sana piss off a m and h because Right. We can’t hire this guy needs our grant money to do what he does or he needs to be our employee. Hey. Here’s one for here’s one for Elon Musk and his Doge guys. Go check into those guys and see where their money goes, the MNH.
See where their money goes, the federal grants they get. See where that stuff goes. You know, might as well because that’s the only way you’re gonna bring them to bring them in to heal. These guys been runnin’ unfettered forever. Nobody checks on it.
The management’s horrible. Nobody comes in and says, what do you spend that 2,000,000 on? No. I don’t know. Look at that funny looking bird over the under.
Do you know this for a fact? Like, have you looked into it? Do you know how they run or do you just just basing this on your interactions with them?
I’m basing on my interactions with them, but I will tell you this. One of the main people that, you know, people sai, you need to litigate this. You need to sue their ass. I’m pretty good at that. I’m, you know, I’ve been involved in two of the longest lawsuits in state history, and I’ve won both of them. I’m betting, like, hall of fame ai of stuff.
But the guy that made the deal with me is I can’t depose him. I can’t depose him. It’s like bryden deposing a cabbage tyler a head meh a a head of lettuce.
He’s like Biden. That’s why they
That’s what I hear. Oh. But he’s still employed. He’s still pulling in a pretty good paycheck. To meh, that you know, maybe you do that in the private sector. Maybe you do it, but and I don’t know how much money that Meh gets from the feds, but we looked into it a little bit. They get some.
If if if they don’t wanna give Alaska the state of Alaska, if you look at who wrote that letter, it’s not John Reeves now. It’s the state of fucking Alaska. And I told I told you, it’s the only way to get them back. We gotta get our politicians up there going, no. No.
And are they willing to do this?
They just wrote a letter saying that what’s what you’re supposed to do.
I don’t know. We haven’t gotten a response from that fucking letter. Do they have to respond? Apparently not.
Yeah. That’s part of the problem. Right?
Yeah. Oh, fuck these guys.
Yeah. Fuck them. Fuck this dirt tramp up there.
They’re the AMNH. They’re a prestigious institution that’s beyond reproach, sir.
And and I I said, I know. You know, if you have the politics lined up right and you see the right people where they should be and you got people that wanna just do ai all I wanna do is the right thing. Right. Just do the right thing.
And Ram, is that where you go to see the dinosaurs? Yeah. Well, they do that. I think that’s cool.
Yeah. Drew and I, my wife and Laura went to New York to meet with AMNH, and they had to stand in the rain for four hours and then wouldn’t meet with us.
Really? Yeah. Oh, yeah. You told me
Yeah. I’m not surprised. You’re you’re a problem. They’d rather just avoid you than deal with whatever happened when they dumped 50 tons of bones in the East River, and they have a bunch more just sitting there. What do you think they would discover? Have you got it all? What would, like, be best case scenario? You meh all the bones back. Alaska winds. Yeah.
You bring researchers over there. They they work with you. Yeah. What do you think they discover?
They discover what why all this megafauna? What what happened? Why did the sea levels rise 400 feet all at once? What went on here? They they there’s animals that we found they said didn’t didn’t exist there.
Now they haven’t amended that even though you found those? That’s that seems crazy to me.
They’re just a little backpedaling now, but what they need to do is put all the pieces of the puzzle on the table and start putting it together.
So you found tell me the animals that you found that are there that aren’t supposed to be there. Sabertooth tiger is one of them. Right?
Dire wolves. Dire dire wolves. Wow. Badgers. Badgers? Badgers.
They’re not supposed to be there?
We’ve told you elk last time and you pointed out there’s an island that has some elk on it. Yeah. But they were planted there. They’re they’re not.
Yeah. Elk were not known to be up in my neck of the woods.
And moose came in later, but they didn’t even know moose was up there in that time. We found four of them. So moose were up there, and there was a transition from grasslands, which is good for the mammoth and the ai, the horses sana the caribou to the woodlands where browsers could feed
The mastodons, the mammoths, or not the mammoths, the other animals that ate that kind of stuff. And the carnivores were having a field day. They didn’t they didn’t care
Do you think they brought in, elk to hunt, or do you think they brought them in to just to have them there?
I think no. They weren’t brought in.
Check, how did elk get on a Fognac Ai?
Yeah. Brought them there in 1929.
A calves. A calves moved from Washington.
Wow. Just ate in Washington. That makes sense because they’re Roosevelt elk. That totally makes sense. Roosevelt elk are a larger bodied animal that has, smaller antlers than a Rocky Mountain. Rose yeah. Roosevelt elk in Alaska originated from a transplant of eight calves captured Olympic Peninsula of Washington State in 1928 and moved to a Fognack Island in 1929. Wow. That’s crazy.
We find sheds of the of the Antlers? Oh, yeah. Wow. And those are, like, thousands of years old.
So they were there already. Well, that’s the thing about, they
all in this country. Ai. Yeah.
In this country, they used to be everywhere. Yep. And then people just wiped them out when they had market hunting. That’s, you know, what when they made it illegal to sell wild game, that was the reason for it. Because everybody’s poor people are just killing everything they could, and they almost wiped them out. They they wiped out a lot of speak.
Like, elk used to be in every state, and now they’re, you know, in a handful. They’ve repopulated them in some arya. Pennsylvania, Kentucky, there’s bryden a bunch of success stories of repopulating elk to the point where they can hunt them now. Mhmm. But they used to be everywhere, including Texas.
Oh. Yeah. That’s the one vatsal ai a spear tip in it.
Really? Do you have a photo of it with the spear
tip ai? I have a little video of it. Where? That’s on my phone.
Sai Goddamn it. Find it. I wanna see it.
I will. I I will find it now.
I would never take that spear point out. I’d have that thing on display. That is the coolest thing ever. Meh. It’s cool. Point inside of a mammoth
phone. Stuck right in it.
I have another picture up there if you wanna pull that bison head up with the spear point in it, still in it.
Not that one. It was fairly recently, Jamie.
You’re going our own way.
Well, there’s the Trump thing. We should go read the comments. You’re a terrible person.
Here’s Click Bishop. He’s the senator that sent the letter. Keep going.
Shout out to Click. Yeah. It’s in there?
I posted these to make it easier for Jamie to find.
Ai, like, I’m back months now. I was going back to the top of your feed.
Is Was it months ago or was it recently?
Last ai in the last week or two. Yes.
That’s how I was supposed to
go. Oh. Oh, I’m sorry. I gave you the wrong direction.
Sai it anywhere? Woah. Look at that skull.
Yeah. Keep going. That’s a mammoth brain by those sunglasses.
Really? That’s a brain? Yep.
So was that, mineralized?
It was found frozen. It was dehydrated.
That’s what that looks like? Wow. What’d you do with that thing?
Right next to the frozen pizza? Go down next to the ice cream. Yeah. It’s a mammoth brain. That’s 30,000 years old.
There’s another one that got hit by a spear. Wow. That’s a that’s a little mammoth.
That’s some fucking penetration right there, Jack. Yep. That’s amazing. But where’s this skull? Where’s this skull?
Oh, there it is. Right there. Where? Right smack dab in the middle.
That one? Yep. Where’s the point?
Right by the arrow. Right by the arrow. Yep. Go up right there. Where? Go where the cursor was. Right there.
That’s a tip? Yep. Woah. So it’s ai mineralized too.
Yep. Stuck right in it. Welded to its face.
Woah. How how did you know that that’s what that was? It looks like a tumor to me. Do you get did you have to clean it up to see the difference?
It’s been cleaned up quite a bit. It’s not bone. It’s stone. Wow.
And you’re gonna leave it in there like that?
Did you get an x-ray of it or anything so you could see it? No. Oh, I’d wanna see that. That’s amazing. What is it like being on a piece of land that at one point in time was just like this insane habitat. I mean, it must have like some bizarre feel to just the land itself when you’re pulling out saber tooth tiger skulls and wooly mammoth tusks.
And it just must feel insane that you’re pulling all this stuff out of the ground that you live on.
Well, we live in the ice age. This we go to work in the morning, we’re in the ice age. Yeah. It’s it’s a different way to think. You see something, you go, okay. What the fuck? What what what is this? You you find something, you go, that’s not human. I mean, that’s not that’s not a that’s not that tool was made by a human.
to But also if you find humans, you vatsal hug and keep it on the DL.
I would I would imagine. Ai don’t know.
I don’t know nothing. But I would imagine if I found some humans, I wouldn’t tell nobody.
Well, that we found that one tool that was obviously shaped by humans. Right. The carbon dated 25,000 years old. Wow. And it looks like it was sawed. And it looks just like if I was to take this cup, you know, you hold it in your hand just like something to mash anything with. Right.
it right there? Yep. So that’s a stone tool.
But if you look on the next picture
So the bottom of that thing was oh, wow. That’s 25,000 years old.
Yep. And it sawed off at the bottom. Yep. That’s nice. If you look closely, you can see the there’s some kind of organic material in some of those cracks and crevices. And you see some Schrager lines in there.
What is a Schrager line? Does that mean
like saw? That’s a a line in the mammoth ivory that’s different than elephant ivory.
Oh. If you can tell the difference. And this was probably sawed off a long time ago, and now it’s kind of fossilized. Right?
Without without, any prompting, Joe, I’ve given that thing to other people to hold.
You know, it’s just like that. They pick it up. It’s the first thing they fucking do.
It’s perfectly in your hand.
It certainly seems like humans made it.
yeah. There’s no way you get something that’s that flat out of nature. And it’s not like those things snap off. They’re not like elk antlers. They don’t regrow them. Right?
Well, the the other thing is Ai said this last time. I’ll say it again. We’d live with woolly mammoths for tens of thousands of years. We know what that thing what that tool is. It’s in our DNA. First thing we do when we pick it up, boom, boom, boom. We don’t feel like that about rats. People woolly mammoth, little kids love them. Parents love them. Everybody likes woolly mammoths.
You think it’s our DNA because
we used to hunt them? Fuck. No. We live with them. I think we meh them. What? I think we’ve lived side by side with them.
you think they domesticated them? What makes you think that?
Okay. You got a big hairy animal. Right. Well, they got to, like, muskox. Let’s get some of this and make clothing out of it. Let’s let’s let’s take this fur.
Right. But why that why domesticate them versus hunt them?
You hunt them with a spear. I mean, you can knock one over if it’s dead or you stick a spear in it, you’re crippled.
But do you think they actually kept them as, like, stock?
No. I think they just ai together.
They just lived together.
Yeah. They didn’t it’s like that polar bear you sai. I woke up that guy’s truck. Uh-huh. And one man would go, what the fuck? You can do to me. Right. Well, if you wanna kill half your tribe, go try to stick a spear in that guy. Right. He’s got ten foot tusks. Right. And you Clear the field.
And also, do you gotta penetrate all that fur and all that hide? With a spear. With a spear that you’re throwing.
And people go, well, they had an vatsal. Okay. Where are you gonna build an atlatl on a grassland Right. Where there’s no sticks? Well, how are they making a spear then? Well, I don’t know. How are they making a spear?
They must have some sticks. Right?
That’s what I’m saying. They didn’t they had spears if they had wood big enough for a spear, but atlatls are not spear size.
Well, it’s a different shape, certainly. But if you have enough wood to make a spear,
have enough wood to make an ai? I mean, when when is the invention of the atlatl?
But if you had a spear that you crafted
We have a picture of spear tips that were sent in New York. And they that doc other document in there talks about finding them in association with the bones. They weren’t studying this stuff. They just wanted Ram and H just wanted the booty. That guy Charles Frick wanted these things back in New York City.
So here’s the ai. 38,000 years ago. So if it’s 25,000 years ago, it might not even be an atlatl. But who knows how accurate they are with this, like, 20 I mean, that’s a big gap, 17,000 to 21,000 years ago. But this is also people that didn’t think that saber tooth tigers lived in Alaska. Right?
It’s all artist renditions. All of the stuff that we’ve been taught is based on what somebody painted or drove or
sketched. Or they initially established, and now they’ve been defending that timeline.
Or even some of the cave drawings that shows people sitting on woolly mammoths.
I’ve seen them before ai. You know, if you if you believe everything you see
Like when Ted Nugent rode that buffalo on stage? Ai, that kind of thing?
But that kind of thing. Yeah. You know, like, they they domesticated them. That’s interesting. Well, we know humans have domesticated elephants. Right? And they did it a long time ago, and they rode elephants. I mean, we know they do it in India.
Yeah. I rode them in Thailand. I don’t recommend it. Yeah. Just seems like I could go wrong.
Yeah. I don’t think I vatsal be part of my thing.
Yeah. You can make friends with them first. They have a whole process you do. You feed them. You give them sugarcane. You hose them down. Take care of them. You you be nice to them first, and then they let you ride them. But you gotta be nice to them even when you’re riding them.
You have to have, like, good energy. Mhmm. They don’t I don’t think they necessarily enjoy having a little fucking human on their back. So it’s ai it’s their world. It just seems like a dumb idea. Like, I’m happy just petting you and giving you food. I don’t need to ride you.
This is pretty badass looking for me.
think this might be the one they found Woah. In the cave in France. Wow. Antler crocodile antler.
Wow. Who’s a wizard that figured out how to make something to put extra leverage on a spear?
That’s the other thing that, Dan Richards was bringing up. Like the fact that bow and arrow is a difficult thing to invent, but yet they invented it all over the world. Does that make sense? Or were people traveling from all over the world with the technology of the bow and arrow and spreading it around the world?
He sai that might make more sense than all these people from all these different speak, all figuring out this complicated thing where you get a thing, you pull it back, you meh a string, and you let loose that. And the arrow has to fly perfect and more likely, someone figured it out in some place, and it was so awesome that they started spreading that idea across the world.
Yeah. Ai mean, it takes a while back then to get the word out. Yeah. I mean, people had to travel to spread the word. They didn’t I don’t think they had smoke signals sai they could explain it in the sky. I don’t
think you’d be able to explain a bow and arrow in the sky with smoke signals. I’m willing to go on a limb on that.
We come up with the expression, the cloud. We use the cloud now.
Yeah. That was the original cloud, smoke clouds. But, I mean, what did they send? Were they did they have a code when they had smoke signals? Or was it just the smoke itself?
So you found spear tips. Have you found arrowheads as well?
Only spear tips. Sai it’s more primitive.
Yeah. And and the way we collect, we don’t get all the small stuff, But we bail all the small stuff out of the drainage, and we stack it sai it can get it can be gotten later. We don’t lose any of it.
But you might have a bunch of, like, spearheads just laying around.
I bet we have millions of what I call microfossils. Millions.
And the stuff that we bail with the with the equipment and just stack it up.
When you first discovered the saber tooth tiger head, when was that?
Yeah. But I was mining up north.
And when you found that, what was the reaction to that? Did it have the the teeth in it and everything, or was it just
It it had one full tooth and one bryden half. Really? And I I think I told you the British Museum visited. Yeah. Gotta have to take it back and clean it and restore it and send it back to me. Never saw it again.
The one that was sent to them here.
Fucking gross is that? That they just keep doing that same shah.
They do it all. That’s what they do. Yeah. And in the last year or two
ai have it? This is important for humanity. Some dirty gold miner.
The Smithsonian, they yep. Ram and H got in trouble for grave robbery robbery robbing. Most museums have done that. They’ve taken artifacts from cultures, and they just keep them.
So these people, they found this saber they got this saber tiger. Wow. Look at that one.
That’s a cave lion skull that we’ve
Holy shit. Was that supposed to be there? The cave lion?
Yes. It was. That’s the only that’s the best one I’ve ever found in Alaska. Wow. My sana, Kenzie, and I found that together. Fucking,
Ai thing’s amazing. Look at the teeth on that thing.
So this saber tooth skull is probably very valuable that you found.
Yeah. And and because I’ve seen
Right. And the Meh says they don’t have one, but we were going through the shipping records and we can see where they were shipped one. The correspondence that I just posted talks about them getting them and camels and others, you know, other things that were sent vatsal somehow disappeared.
Does Lorenzo Fertitta have a saber tooth skull in his office? See if that’s true. Lorenzo Fertitta is, one of the gentlemen who, owned the UFC before they sold it to WME. Billionaire character who loved MMA and really was the reason why the UFC blew up along with Dana White and his brother Frank.
Ram. Because he bought it from a museum in Dallas.
Yeah. Let me see what that looks like. Sai ai
I think it’s ai a lot of money. So if you think about your skull and this asshole gets a hold of it, there’s probably some asshole over there that’s really rich.
I was offered $85 for that one. Yeah. Yeah.
Here’s one for $500. Woah. Holy shit.
Holy shit. How fucking amazing must that thing have been to see live?
They got a bunch of Mitt La Brea tar pits. I mean, a bunch.
How much did tyler Lorenzo Fertitta pay for the one that vatsal?
There’s just sana article that had words that didn’t have the picture of it.
Did you Google Lorenzo Fertidas and see images?
I mean, it that’s what yeah. And that shows me other saber ai can.
What about that article? That first article? No picture of it?
How dare you, bloody elbow. You would think that a website called bloodyelbow.com would really be on top of it. It was 15 years old. That’s 02/2010?
Two thousand ’12 was when the article was posted.
It was a hundred and $60,000 there.
What? It’s only a hundred and $60?
Fossilized saber tooth type.
thought it was, like, millions.
Could be could be small too. I don’t know.
Yeah. I wonder what that one that was sold at the auction went for. How fucking cool are those things though, man? Like, what a wild, amazing design that nature created. This is a whole skeleton? Fuck.
40,000,000 years old, it says.
Wow. How many of you have you found up there of saber tooth skulls? Two. Just two?
Wow. Wow. It’s it’s, when you come up, you let give me enough of advance notice and maybe send Jamie up in advance, and we’ll put a little,
Jamie never leaves his apartment. He’s not gonna go to Alaska. Look at
he gonna do with Carl? Can he bring Carl up there? Carl won’t survive.
Carl will get along just fine with our dogs.
put up a putting green for him.
He’ll attack your dogs. He’s a little torpedo.
But, put up a you need to start coming up there in the summer, and we’ll do Is that the move? Some ai. The summertime. Ram Fairbanks, the bone the bone crew. Bring your friends with you. It’d be ai protect our parts only parts only different.
Protect our parks in Fairbanks. That would be fun.
That would be a good one. To do it at your area where you
do it. Put it in an archive building. Take a day.
Yeah. Tour the site. Yeah. It’s just Ai want more people to know about it. I really do because I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anything like that. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a a spot like that where there’s that many woolly mammoth bones and cave bear bones and all this shit you’re pulling out of the ground.
We have fun with it. I mean
How many different dead animals? Like, different extinct types of animals?
At least half a dozen. Wow. At least. I mean, it’s just I don’t know because we have 300,000 fossils.
And you haven’t examined all?
Oh, fuck. No. No. We only have time to pick them up. And maybe I’ll take a picture, ram maybe Drew will or one of my guys, my kids, my wife. Somebody might take a picture of it, or we’ll take a picture of them holding it.
It seems like such a lost opportunity to know about things. And unless you’re willing to give in to these guys who have obviously been deceptive with you in the past, how do you get real studies done up there?
The bones ain’t go anywhere. Right. If the if if the timing ain’t right, the timing ain’t right. If the politics aren’t right, I’m not I’m not gonna litigate this. It’s not worth my time.
It’s also they’ve shown that they’re not willing to be honest with you. The people with the British Museum that stole your saber tooth tiger skull, what’s going on with ram Meh, like, why would you work with anybody when you don’t have to?
No. I don’t want to. If they’re not gonna play fair, I don’t wanna play with them.
It’s such a fucking shame because it’s such an amazing ai. It’s such an amazing area that I would think that they would be flocking to try to work with you. Just do anything they can just for the information. I mean, think of how many discoveries first of all, the proven fact that saber tooth tigers lived in a place they didn’t think they lived, that alone should be worthy of discovery.
I need to take a leak. You need to take a leak? We can wrap this up.
It’s Dana’s No. No. No. No. No. Ai got stuff. I’m not done yet.
Oh, we’re not done yet. Is this
Dana has one? Yeah. Oh, jeez. Look at that thing. And
so I read through the article and it was saying Dana Dana bought it from a museum.
Holy shit. That’s amazing. Alright. We’ll take a leak. We’ll be right back. Dana White got an awesome skull. Alright. We’re back, sir.
Well, that pneumonia has a certain amount of recovery time.
I’m sure. How long is it?
Took fifty years for me to fuck up my lungs, but I’m cleaning them up now.
Well, now’s the goodest time as ever. Just definitely better now than tomorrow.
It’s the only time. Yeah. So where were we?
Dana White has a giant saber tooth tiger head in his office. And, you were telling me you had topics that you wanted to cover, that you brought in.
Well, we were talking about the gas line. Right. Ai that going.
And No. There’s no worry at all about the environment with these gas ai?
There always is. You’re gonna have people sue people.
We don’t want this. We, Alaska’s
They’re worried about environmental disasters.
Right? Yeah. But that oil pipeline has been running for for a long time. Ai 12% of our country’s sai, oil. No problems. Well, we had a problem. With, you know, Ai Reef.
Oh, yeah. That was a big problem.
Yeah. I remember that. That was 1988. Right? Wasn’t it?
Don’t remember the exact date.
I think it was. Because I remember people were freaking out that that thing wrecked and emptied out a whole oil tanker. Eighty nine. Exxon Valdez oil tanker ran aground. Ai Reef and Alaska’s Prince William Sound speak released more than 11,000,000 gallons of crude oil, the largest oil spill in US history at the time.
But that’s probably not nearly as much as that one that blew out in the, ocean that was just spraying oil. Meh. I mean, that had to be Yeah. Probably more than that.
Is you’re talking about the one in the overseas or the one here?
Yes. That one. How much did that release?
I’m looking at it doesn’t say.
That’s what people are scared of.
Because it was con continuously releasing oil and natural gas for eighty seven days. Jeez.
Well, I brought you some goodies. What’d you bring? Well, some things that you can remind you of the boneyard. Oh, okay. We make a meh got a little bag here for you too, Jimmy. What do you got here, buddy? Stuff. Stuff? Stuff that Drew and I make. Oh, guitar picks.
Oh, snap. Didn’t we give one to Gary Clark Junior?
Yeah. We did. Thank you for that.
Thought you might want some more. With some little pendants, you can give them to your kids or whoever to put on a necklace. Those are pieces of mammoth ivory.
And how old do you think this little piece is?
That’s a pendant. That’s probably thirty, forty thousand years old.
Does this seem kinda crazy that so much of it you you’re allowed to just carve it up and make stuff out of it?
We just use broken stuff. Yeah. We do we have tons of broken tusks. They can’t be restored. Complete tusks, we don’t we just restore them and then move on to the next one.
And most of them meh just have stored. You must get a lot
of offers where people wanna buy them. Right? Yeah.
What do you tell them? Go pound sand?
I don’t tell them that. I just say, ai. Go fuck yourself. Got an image show.
No. I I just don’t sell tusks. I don’t sell any bones. Not even a not even a I can give this stuff away because I own it. I I can give it away, but I don’t sell it.
Have there been anybody, any researchers or anybody I mean, all these appearances that you’ve done on the show, it’s sort of gotten that whole area a lot of attention. Has there been anybody that has expressed legitimate interest in working with you?
There has been expressions of interest, but they want to come up and they have no place to study stuff. They wanna send it all outside to their house and wherever. Right. Their their university, wherever.
And the work won’t get done. Right.
Or at least it won’t come back. At the very least, it won’t come back.
Now you recall, last time I was here, I gave you some, gun grips.
From the guy that makes those Birkett customs. Mhmm. Well, since then, he got into making firearms. Oh, boy. So he he made it a Jew and I a couple nineteen elevens. I posted those. Real nice that he’s getting into that.
Oh, look at that. Oh, and he uses your ram. Wow. Look at those handles. That’s crazy. Isn’t
Now is that, the blue one? What is the is that the blue mineralized?
It’s yeah. It’s that’s a section of a mammoth tooth that’s been cut. Wow. And the one on the bottom is mammoth tusk.
And so the mammoth tooth that’s been cut, is that the natural color of it? That blue? No.
I think he I think he might have put a little coloring in it.
Oh, wow. That’s beautiful.
And the epoxy. Isn’t that something? That is beautiful. And he got our name on the guns too. Wow. And the logo. Alright. Now we can say we’re insured by Burkett.
Don’t rob a bank with that gun because they’re gonna know who you are.
Yeah. They got cameras that’ll tyler. That’s pretty dope. Anyway, so he did that, and then the other guy who you both have carvings from, Chuck Speak is his name. And you know that one thing that you have is the ai Mhmm. With the tusks. Right. I don’t think you’ve ever used it. No. That’s his kind of stuff.
So he knew I was coming on your shah, and he goes, can I make you and Joe a sai special carving? Then can you give Joe his when you see him? I said, yeah. I’ll give it to him when I go down there. So I brought it to you. It’s here in his box. This is this is ai of stuff.
This is Thank you. Yes. Alright. I’ll open it right now. Yeah. Open it right now? Yeah. Alright. And his name’s Chuck Speak, probably the best ivory carver on the planet. There’s a picture of him carving a he carved a letter opener for the pope. There’s a piece of tape there in the middle, Joe, on the front ai where your hand is.
Might have to cut it or something.
Yeah. There we go. Woah. This is crazy. What is this?
Mammoth tooth with a mammoth mammoth carbon into it.
That is incredible. Look at that. The size of that tooth is insane. Yep. It’s so heavy.
My god. That’s amazing carving too.
Look at that. That’s so beat. Vatsal stay here. Right here. I’m gonna clear off a spot for
That’s sick. That’s amazing. That’ll go right next to your other bone. Thank you very much. That’s incredible. What’s his name again?
Chuck Leek. Shout out to Chuck Leek.
Mammoth mogul. That’s incredible. Instagram. Part of
me feels bad that he carved into this tooth because I kinda just would rather have the tooth. But the arya work itself is insane.
We can arrange that, Joe.
Well, I’d like it by itself too. I like the the art too. But it’s just ai I just feel weird about people carving into stuff that’s so valuable and ancient.
I’ve had him, make me one for every animal that we found. He’s got them with horses.
Jamie, you gotta pick this up. Feel how heavy this is. This is so crazy.
Here, Joe. Hand hand Jamie this tube. It’s a
fucking tooth. It’s crazy. It’s crazy that that’s a tooth. How big were these fuckers?
Huge. That’s sai that’s probably an adult female.
Yeah. And they want us to believe that hunters wiped all those out. No way. Speak. Shut the fuck up.
No. They, anyways, Chuck has made for every animal that we found out there, he’s made a taken a mammoth tooth and carved the animal inside it just like that mammoth.
Oh, wow. Including saber tooth tigers? Wow. Look at that one. That’s incredible. Amazing work. It’s really good.
Well, I wanna get the saber tooth tiger back right now. I can’t seem to find it. One museum stole one, and I think the other museum stole one too.
The British Museum stole one. The one where And AM and H says they never got one. But the correspondence that’s listening there talks about him being shipped to New York. Mhmm. Talks about the agreement we had with AM and H.
Sorry. Otto Geist was a scumbag that collected for him. He was a railroad field hand. Now he ended up with a doctorate in anthropology from the University of Alaska who was in on this whole deal. Well, I
would guarantee that if I lived in, like, ai or some shit like vatsal, and I knew that one of my buddies that I’ve been donating to his museum was about to get a saber tooth tiger head, and I wanted that for my house. You’d have it. You’d probably make a little deal.
Make a little deal. Yeah. I’ll give you a million dollars in grants, and next thing you know, you have people over for a cocktail party Yep. Come into the lounge. I wanna show you something I acquired.
I have a letter posted of of what I consider pretty interesting way to offer a bribe back in back in the day. Really? Yeah. It’s posted.
What was the how did they do the bribe?
It was a letter from Charles Frick to the president of the University of Alaska. And a sentence that got my attention was, well, first of all, you invited him to the join him him and his wife in New York City for a ai at the mansion. And then the last sentence was, and we can discuss things that, man always needs more of.
Well, you don’t buy that. You rent that.
Gold? Rent it? Gold? What does man need more of?
It has to be he’s offering him what man needs more of. Yeah. That’s a nice way of saying it.
Back in the day, they were it was a king’s English. Right. They they talk proper and all that stuff. Uh-huh. You know? Like it
Ai I said, Dan Richards brought that up that he thinks that that’s what happened to a lot of ancient Egyptian artifacts and they’re probably scattered all over the country or over the world rather in the hands of wealthy collectors. Makes sense. You know, people always want to have something that is very rare and that they’re not supposed to have, you know.
And we all collect stuff.
You know, what do you collect? What shah is your favorite thing to collect?
I love pool cues. They’re functional artwork for a a game that I’m completely addicted to.
Ai, I think you’ll be able to make a few out of that.
Yeah. Oh, he definitely will.
Go to, go get a photo of Sugar Tree cues.
He’s, If he turns it on a lathe or what, I don’t know.
Ai friend, Eric, he he goes out into the woods and gets his own wood. Like, he does everything from ram bottom to to to the final production of it. He’s a a really rare ai. Because his cues, he make, ai, there’s a lot of cues. They make them real fancy with a bunch of different inlays and different stuff. But what he uses mostly is just the natural beauty of the wood itself.
He’s ai, he loves wood. And so his cue like, look at that. Look at the burl on that handle. I mean, my god, that’s so gorgeous. And that’s just nature’s gorgeousness. That’s nature’s artwork. And that’s what Eric makes most of his cues ai. They’re it’s all nature’s artwork. And they also play incredible.
He’s a really good pool player too, which is kind of important if you’re gonna be a a guy who makes cues. Like, click on that link right there where you just have AZ Billiards right there. That one, that’s some of his work right there. Like, it’s all so beautiful. Holy shit. Yeah. And it’s like I said, you see how his work, it just really highlights the beauty of the wood vatsal, and they play really good too.
That’s the thing about pool cues. They all play different. But his, they all have a lot of feel to them. Like that one right there by your cursor ai there, it says Facebook, that click. Yeah. Right there. Look at that fucking thing. Look how beautiful that handle is.
I can’t imagine the the work that goes into making one
of those. Oh, it’s a lot of work. But it’s also that the gorgeousness of it is just vatsal. Just natural wood. So I’ll send him this stuff. He uses, mammoth ivory.
I got more if he needs more. You know? I I don’t know what size he needs or how thick it should be.
I don’t know either. Ai ask him.
My daughter’s Elora, who’s married to Drew out there. She makes the jewelry. Last time where we talked, it sai she was Saks Fifth Avenue. She’s gone beyond Saks Fifth Avenue. Joe and I are still muddling around in the Dollar General with what we do. We’re not we’re just making a lot of stuff that people like, like the guitar picks and the ball markers and the
Pendants. But she takes gold nuggets that she finds and uses ivory that she finds and puts it all together in some beautiful jewelry, and I’m plugging her. It’s my daughter, Laura Longley.
Yeah. You showed it to us the last time. It was really beautiful stuff.
She made that necklace for you.
Yeah. And, again, that stuff is ai you’re dealing with something that’s 30,000 years old.
it’s amazing. The shine on that wood Mhmm. You put that on there and you can shine it to a mirror finish.
It’s just also so cool to be in possession of something. Like, just just to hold this in your hand and to know that this is a part of an animal that roamed the Earth thirty thousand years ago. Pretty incredible stuff.
When you’re walking around that area, do you get a sense of it? Like, does it feel weird when you’re walking around there?
It does because the stink. Oh.
The stink is incredible. Right. Because it’s all rotting. Right?
Yeah. Yeah. We go in in the morning. There might be a wolf or a couple coyotes or a lynx or two. Just kinda rooting around in there going, hey. Come back later.
Yeah. They’re looking for it, and they find it. They find bones. They’ll come up to our palates and take bones right off of
And they chew them. Like, they’ll chew chunks out of them. It’s incredible. You know, the stink is unreal.
And if it wasn’t frozen, that’s probably what happened to most of the bones that were left behind by all the animals that didn’t get that didn’t die in permafrost.
Right. We have bones that have tendons still attached. Wow. And
Well, you were telling me about a guy who ate some of the
Yeah. Off of Blue Babe, which was 38 the other bison I’d sai was 38,000 years old. Yeah. They are.
Yeah. They had us, well, you know, we all eat that shit. He had a a stew made out of it.
I ai to him out at the boneyard. He came out there. He’s up in years now, but, Dale Guthrie, I believe his name is. And he wrote a book on it, on ice age stuff. He made a big old casting of a woolly mammoth that I bought, not from him, but he sold it to somebody who sold it to another guy I knew who had it for sale.
And he made a stew out of old bison meh.
Yeah. They found the whole bison. Ai meh bison. If you saw that little there it is. Wow.
Dinner party that served up fifty fifty thousand year old bison stew.
Yeah. I think it’s 38,000, but that’s alright.
Dale Guthrie, you know, is the guy’s name.
I would had to take a bowl of that. I would had to try it.
When you come up you come up I
I let a bunch of other eggheads try it first and stare at them. How are you feeling? What else are ai of fucking diseases are in that bison bone that you’re thawing out now?
I’m gonna go heavy duty on this carnivore diet.
Yeah. Nothing but bison and mammoth. Yeah.
It will, it’ll definitely radically decrease your hunger. To make the stew for roughly eight people, Guthrie cut off a small part of the bison’s neck where the meat was frozen while fresh. When it thawed, it gave off an unmistakable beef aroma, not unpleasantly mixed with a faint smell of the earth in which it was found with a touch of mushroom, he once wrote.
Then added, they then added a generous amount of garlic and onions along with carrots and potatoes to the aged meat. Couple that with wine, it becomes a full fledged dinner. They show a photo of what the dinner looked like?
They didn’t take pictures back then?
do you not take pictures of your food?
I told you the story of the guy that found that.
Not a good not a good it wasn’t a good look. Yeah. But they closed his ai down. They extra take that out. You know, they were supposed to get it out that day, and it took them all summer. The miner got shut down.
Just because of this bison?
Yeah. Yeah. He went over to a different speak. I think I told you this. Called No Gold Creek. I don’t think there’s any gold on No Gold Creek. Didn’t have a good winter.
Because he couldn’t go to the other place because of the bison. Yeah. That’s a pain in the ass.
Ron Roman’s his name. He he’s a
Was there any other way to do it? Was there a way to work around it?
That’s the only other ground he had. He he he they tied up the whole thing. I mean, they you’re done. Then when they’re done, he went back in.
Yeah. It was patented land that he had. It was my company land. He was on my ground.
And they have the ability to shah things down for a discovery like that?
How come they don’t have the ability to He was
We’re gonna get in here. It will take us a day to get it out. He said go ahead.
And then he said we we can’t do this, the whole thing.
And then they can never get him out of there.
They took it out, took him all summer to get it.
Yeah. You only get you only get a hundred days to mine where the water turns to ice. Right. If you’re not ai then, you’re done. So every day is a 1% day.
Or 10%. You know, it’s ai every day.
So it must that must have been terrible financially for him.
Oh, yeah. It was horrible. He had nothing but pork and beans all winter. He’s the one that found the woolly mammoth.
And is there any other way to ai to mine around that? Were you not going in that one area?
If you rely on somebody telling you
What you can and can’t do.
We’ll get back in here. You can be back here day after tomorrow. Anybody, any miner that I know would say, okay. Right. Come do it. I know I’m gonna lose a day, but that will work on equipment that day. But if you come back in the day after tomorrow and they say, sorry. We’re gonna be here for a few months.
I wouldn’t tell them I found the fucking thing.
Because you have experience with these kind of people. Yeah.
Yeah. I I would I, you know, I can’t even it’s it’s not like I’m keeping this discovery a secret. People tell me.
How many Instagram followers you have?
Yeah. It’s not a secret. Let’s see how much it is after today too.
Well, I appreciate you doing this because this gives us an ability to get the word out.
And it’s important to get the word out to get the others things to fall in place.
Yeah. I think it’s important too.
And, I appreciate the fact that you you enjoy the shit out of this prehistory stuff, dude.
I do. I love it, and I also love the way you’re handling it. I think it’s it’s we’re very fortunate that a guy like you owns that piece where you’re willing to talk about it publicly and make a stink about it and let everybody know. Like, there’s a real part of the puzzle in the history of this earth that’s right there.
It’s not that even that complicated a puzzle. The puzzling part is what the fuck is ram and h doing? They’ve had those bones in their basement for a hundred fucking years. They were required in the original deal to do a report on every bone they took, and they were only supposed to take bones of scientific value.
This bone has no scientific value to them. They took it. This bone has no scientific value to them. They took it. None of the bones they took have scientific value ai because they don’t know where they found them. I have all that information in my files.
I have all the stratigraphic information of everything they found. Don’t you guys think you ought to weld it to me Yeah. And we’ll just say, well, this bone came out of 35 feet on Woodchopper Creek, Coldstream Creek, Miller Creek, whatever speak it came off.
So you you could be able to find the exact locations and where it was dug.
So let me ask you this. In a in a best case scenario, what would happen? They would give you the bones back, and then what would you do?
The experts would come in after I built a facility where they study them. I I understand they’re not gonna we have a we have a lab in San Francisco. We’re gonna send the bones to San Francisco.
Uh-uh. We’ll have a lab here. I’ll build the motherfucker. I’ve already offered this up to tyler, and they still don’t jump on a chance. How many dumb shits are around like me?
Maybe you have to build it first, and they will come like the fucking field of dreams.
Yeah. That was a movie. By the way, I love that movie.
But Ai, I’ve learned my lesson on if you build it, it will come. Yeah. Because we built we just built one. They didn’t show up. So we use it we use it for our own purposes.
Well, maybe we could put the bat signal out here on this show and there’s got to be some paleontologists that are absolutely fascinated by this, that are willing to figure out a way to make it work.
Ai just can’t take the bones out of Alaska, And they gotta be, like, no bullshit researchers, scientists, people that know what they’re talking about because I don’t
They’re gonna want it for museums,
Right. But that’s probably what’s gonna like, if they do find some extraordinary stuff, the way they get value out of that is by putting it on display, doing studies on it, and then putting it on display so people can come pay money to see it. Right?
If I go to AMNH, let’s say, every day for every once a week for fifty two weeks, It’s the same displays every week. So all the stuff they collect doesn’t go on display. It goes down in the storage or it goes out in the East River. The deal with my company, the the nozzle meh they called them, there were 200 guys working giants.
And the giant guys, the nozzle guys, part of the perks of working for that company was if you find a tusk, you can have it. They could take the tusks home with them.
Yeah. And the skulls and whatever else they found.
Nobody cared. The company didn’t care. Take them. And then these guys from New York, the swift talking city dudes, they come in and go, oh, we want them. So they made it so the men couldn’t take them, and they took them all. Scientific value, nothing. They took them all. Well, let’s let’s just imagine you’re the grandson of one of the old style nozzlemen that is who’s now dead, but he passed that tusk along to his kid, and now it’s yours.
That tusk could be worth $200,000. That could come in handy to that family. Maybe they could’ve used that money along the way instead of not having it.
Instead of the AM and NH just having it in their basement.
And the letter that is on there talks about hundreds hundreds of tusks that were shipped there. I’ve seen them. It’s not like I’m making this shit up. I I was down there. I took pictures of them.
You were down there in the basement?
In the basement. It’s incredible. These these big crates haven’t been opened ever.
And they’re just filled with tusks.
Well, the tusks are on these big shelves. Like, you see at Costco, they go way up high.
Shelves. Tusks. And bison heads and Wow. Stuff. And then the crates are the bones, leg bones, teeth.
How the fuck can they just leave that there?
That seems so insane that you have this extraordinary place that really doesn’t get attention until you get on social media. And then the world knows about it, but they’ve known about it for a hundred years. Like, that seems like something you would want people to know about.
Nobody gave a shit. My company didn’t care until you know, they didn’t envision a guy like me come along and owning this company. They had no no ai I when I bought the company and started going through the files going, let’s see what I bought. You know, like the let’s see what oh, look at that. I got a lease with the government. Oh, here’s another one. I got another lease with the government. Yeah.
I got a piece over here ai offered to buy. Now I don’t wanna sell it. So I go through all these things, and I find the deal with the bones. And I went to the museum. I said, I bought Alaska Gold Company.
I sana go get the bones. He goes, I was wondering when you’re gonna show up. Off to New York we go. Got bullshitted. Oh, yeah.
We’re gonna return them when we after we take care of the asbestos abatement problem ups down there. Anyway, I told you all this, and Yeah. They have yet to get ahold of us. It’s gone to our state, legislature to see if they can help. It’s coming back to Alaska. Those are my bones.
And if they’re afraid that it’s gonna go, well, Reeves, you know, they’re worth a lot of money, you know, he he could sell them. Look. Just send them back. Awesome. And if I wanna sell them, I’ll sell them. They’re my bones.
Oh, so you haven’t sold what you have? It doesn’t even make any sense.
It’s a it’s a fucking hobby. You know? We’re all queer for something. You know? Some people collect stamps. Some people collect coin collect coins. My mom used to collect napkins there, you know, quilts and stuff like that. I collect bones in historic sites. I like his well, I got a degree in history.
He probably didn’t know that. Historic preservation. I like to fix up old shit. Talking to a guy about the Sana, which where the bryden spike was driven by Harding. That just went up to for auction on Christie’s.
Explain that. A golden spike railroad spike that, Warren Harding came up and drove in the in the railroad back in the twenties, when they completed the Alaska Railroad from Anchorage up to Neenana, which is
keep someone from stealing that?
Well, they didn’t leave it in there long. Oh. They drove it in. They took the photo op. They did all that.
Pulled it out. Then somebody bought it, and somebody else bought it.
Woah. Look at that. That’s crazy. Wow.
So I did some figuring on the weight of it and figured how much gold content was in it.
Yep. Wow. It was it was only valued at, like, 30 to 50.
But just the historical significance of it makes it worth $200?
Yeah. And and I know the guys that bought it. I was on the I was on the auction. I had the guy on the phone, and it didn’t take long for me to go past, and I ain’t buying it. I don’t want it. And it kept going and kept going and kept going.
What’d you think it was gonna stop at?
I I was gonna stop at around 70. It kept going. It kept going. It kept going.
Well, that’s probably the same kind of thing that happened with your saber tooth tiger skull.
Oh, fuck. That was given away to somebody.
You don’t think somebody gave them money for it?
Oh, they gave money, but it wasn’t sold. It was ai
What do you got? You got any of that Egyptian stuff laying around?
I want sai sarcophagus. What do you say, boys?
I bet there’s a ton of old school families that have, like, deep old school money that have stuff like that squirreled away somewhere.
Well, you can they’re always getting arrested for stealing shit. Mostly, they’re museum employees. If you if you ever Google, it’s it’s amazing what these guys steal from the from the oh, yeah. Museums aren’t moneymakers. Right. You’re gonna make money, you’re not gonna go own a museum. You know? You’re gonna go do whatever you do to make money.
But museums don’t make money, so the guys that work there, they go out in the field. And some guy says, well, look what I found. Well, that’s very interesting. Yeah. It looks like a saber tooth I mean, it looks like just a cow head. Well, can you find out for me? Yeah. Sure.
I’ll take it off your hands.
Who’s got the bones? Timeline reveals park service employees covered up theft of ancient remains. Case of missing bones from the Effigy Mounds National Monument took multiple investigations more than twenty years to locate them. Wow. I’m not shocked.
Well, we got a site in Florida that people have the University of North Florida to dig on for decades. It’s on a Indian mountain there right on the Sana Johns River. And every year I allow them to come out and dig and they found sai far they’ve found hundreds of thousands of artifacts.
We’re talking about archaeological stuff you know arrowheads, shah teeth with drilled holes ram jewelry, beads, you name it, whatever they made out of fish bones and animal bones. And
How do you wind up always finding these spots to park at where where it turns out there’s a bunch of ancient stuff in them?
I didn’t my parents bought this property when I was a young guy, but I spent a lot of time as a nine, 10, 11, 12, 13 year old kid just digging. I like digging in the dirt, And, Alaska stuff was about gold, but it didn’t take long to find the bones. And the bones to me are they’re more fun.
They’re more you you know, they’re not worth anything to me because I don’t sell them.
Scandal that the AMNH was involved in recently.
Facing scrutiny, a museum that holds 12,000 human remains changes course. American Museum of National History said it would address its collecting of remains which stretched into the nineteen forties and including practices now viewed as abusive and racist. So it must be Native American bones. There’s a bunch of different Wow.
Sorts of stuff, actually, but
talking about. I like how they put it. They’re they’re planning to overhaul their stewardship of more than 12,000 human remains. Painful legacy of collecting practices that saw the museum acquire the skeletons of indigenous and enslaved people taken from their graves in the bodies of New Yorkers who died as recently as the nineteen forties.
Reconstruction of a burial of a warrior from Mongolia in about 1,000. Wow. They ai to remove that?
I meh, that’s just a picture of it.
Well, Sai ai leave it there. What are you doing? I just wanna go look.
They’re obviously doing some stuff.
Oh, they’re not they’re not the only ones doing this. Smithsonian’s doing this stuff too. I’m sure. And there’s not much I can do about it. I mean, it’s
Well, especially, there’s no argument if they’ve had it sitting on their shelves for all this time.
And I’ve offered to make this happen. Make it let’s get it back here. It’s you know? And then let’s, you know, tilt in the windmill and all that stuff. But, you know, I never met you before a few years ago. And prior to that, I would just say the only guy I’ll talk to is Joe Rogan about this.
Because if I’m ai talk to anybody, I’m gonna talk to the most influential man on Earth. And you weren’t supposed to call me, but here I am for the third time. Listen.
Of course Ai was supposed to. I’m fascinated.
Because I didn’t wanna tell this story. I just wanted to keep boning. And now that it’s going, everybody wants me to do all this fucking work. I’m not a research scientist. I don’t have all these machines. I can’t do all this stuff. What are you asking me for? Go to ram and h.
That’s their job. That’s what they got paid to do. What are you chewing my ass for?
Well, best case scenario as we described, they give it back to you, researchers get involved, you build a facility on-site, they study it, everybody learns, everybody’s happy.
That’s right. Yeah. And we and we have some knowledge at the end of the day Yeah. That we don’t have now and we won’t get if we don’t do something like this because all my bones come from one little two acre speak. And you talk about in situ, you know, in place, It’s right there. Yeah.
You can’t find a bone here and find one nine miles away and somehow say they’re from the same arya, but you can sure find them there, and you can find out where they exactly came from. You can figure out what that that piece you’re holding. You can tell how many times that has sex, male or female, what its diet was, where it traveled to.
There’s things that you can find out in the collagen that you you could never find out twenty, thirty years ago. So it’s it’s kinda cool. And That’s kinda cool. I just gotta wait for these other guys to come along. I talked to Max out there. He’s my other son-in-law with Drew and, married to my penultimate daughter, Bryden.
And he’s he’s a really good lawyer, And his interest is in NIL. Have you heard of that? No. NIL’s name, image, likeness
For the kids coming out of high school, college, and stuff for the pro sports.
And he played football for Oregon. He was a center. I watched him play in the Rose Bowl. Good guy. And, we were talking a little bit about the legalities of stuff like this. And he’s pretty good on contracts, and he’s read this stuff and said, you got him by the balls, man, because he got the receipts.
I guarantee you those guys don’t have the receipts. They probably trashed ram years ago. But I got every one of them. I got all the letters, so I got the communications.
Well, John, I really hope you make some ground. I really do.
No pun intended. Because you
We’ll tear some up. You tear
some ground up. I appreciate you’re out there always fighting this fight and letting people know about this extraordinary discovery that you found in your place, man. It’s fucking amazing. It’s always great to have you here. Let’s keep doing it.
It’s been a pleasure. It’s always a pleasure seeing you and Jamie.
Every year, I hope we make a little progress.
I hope we have something big to discuss.
hope I hope it cracks. I hope this motivates a lot of people, this podcast, you know. And I I think people need to be refreshed every year to realize how to what an extraordinary place you have and how crazy it is that there’s not more work being done here.
Yeah. It it’s such a simple solution. Just do the right thing.
And just call me up and say, okay. Come get them. I’ll have tractor trailers parked out there in twenty four hours. Let’s load them, my boys. They’re going north. Put them on the rail out in Seattle. Send them farther north. We got warehouses full of this stuff. I’m at the point now where I’m going, maybe I should just concentrate on what we do for a living instead of the hobby.
You know, I can keep digging them up, but what good is it if we’re not gonna study them? I sana wanna leave that area alone as it’s got good gold. I don’t need to dig the gold out of there. The gold’s beneath the bones. And we gotta get to the gold. You gotta go through the bones. And, yeah, we’ll get the gold someday.
But we found a spot out north of town where we can’t we couldn’t get drilled to bedrock. It’s 450 feet deep. The old timers tried to drill it. They couldn’t go deep. They couldn’t get to the bottom of it, and I think that’s where the fucking hot stuff hit.
25 miles north of town. I think that’s where the high stuff the hot stuff hit. 450 feet, and you don’t hit bedrock? Are you kidding? What happened there? It blew a fucking hole in the ground. Wow. Unfortunately, I don’t own that claim, but I know who does. Ai not telling them where it’s at.
have the records that show what happened there.
Well, I hope somebody does some investigations on that.
It would be. The answers there’s a lot of answers in these bones that we don’t know what the questions are yet. So it’s it’s nice that you enable me to come in and
John, I appreciate you very much. You’re the fucking man.
Thank you for all the stuff too.
take a permanent spot on the desk now. Good. Thank you, brother. Mammoth magic, dude.
Yes. I feel it. I feel magic coming off of it.
Yeah. You will. I got you some guitar picks in there.
Alright. I’ll give more to Gary. We’ll do it again next year, my friend.
I’ll set you up if you got any other players you want. Alright. Thank you, sir.
Bye, everybody. Bye, everybody ai.
