Ep 624 - Big Boy (feat. Nate Marshall)

23:38Yeah, he's doing youth genics on his son. He's doing me genics.

23:44Nate Marshall:But, yeah, that's a whole thing. Is he getting funding from people, or he's just like his own money? It's him. He's rich. He's rich from tech shit. So he took all of his tech, though, and he's becoming like a healthy vamp. I love you. He's doing healthy vamp life, which is a totally new thing. Yeah, I like this new thing where people make a bunch of money from one tech thing and then just do whatever they want for the rest of their lives. Exactly. Yeah. It's not like, you know, we have parallel interests, me and fucking Brian Johnson, but there's a part where I'm kind of like, all right, this is a little weird.

24:15Nate Marshall:I'm obviously a Sun Maxxer. He's not. That's where we really disagree. But the thing he did, he got really - He thinks the sun is bad? Yeah, he wears an umbrella. It's embarrassing. But umbrellas for rain are just like, I find that questionable enough. for the sun is like, bro, that's just for Asian ladies. And a pasty white wee blade. That's if we're going to extend it. Irish is unacceptable, dude. I took my burn like a man in the pool yesterday. No sunscreen. But yeah, the thing Brian Johnson did is he took mushrooms, big doses, and hooked himself up to state-of-the-art brain shit. and he's now he's taking his nerd brain onto the science of mushrooms and he's finding like, dude, these things are so good for like a lot of stuff that we're not using.

25:06I was thinking about giving him a little micro and telling him like, yo, this is like, you know, like a half a gram, maybe a gram. Would he take it? Oh, yeah. My dad used to be a... He got dementia, man. He won't know. I'll tell him. He'll be like, all right, Nathan. He'll give it a shot. But he used to be a deadhead, like for real, for real a deadhead. Oh, yeah, so yeah. That might be why he fucking has the fucking shit going on now. He's a real deadhead. He told me some story about riding a motorcycle. He didn't know how to ride a motorcycle on acid. If you met him, you wouldn't guess it. He comes off like a straight, laced dude.

25:42Nate Marshall:Usually the most far-out guys, by the way. Yeah. Come off pretty straight-laced, if I'm being honest. When he was younger, he went to Catholic school, too, in Reddick. All his homies were just Italian dudes. I don't know. He just became deadheads with them. That's so silly He was like selling weed And I didn't believe him when he would first tell me But he did that dad thing where he would like tell it again And it would never be It would just be like a story he told Like the first time, nothing's different Oh he really did that shit, he just wasn't trying to sound cool Yeah, no, he's probably And also he probably was like Yeah, I would imagine he wouldn't try to just sound cool First case, probably like Especially if he was a Being a deadhead back then A black deadhead?

26:24Nate Marshall:Black Deadhead is wild, dude. And it was like those dudes just like chomped LSD with no fucking clue what it was. Yeah. Apparently that was him. Black Deadhead, all the white women you can fuck, dude. Bro, he went to Catholic school. When I was a, I don't mean to hop up my dad, but. No, that is a buffet. That is a snow bunny buffet. That is a bunny buff. I was at, you know, they had pals. Yeah, you don't know the pal, right? I was at the PAL for like a summer camp and this lady found out about me realized she knew my dad. She was a freshman. When he was a senior, she brought in the yearbook showed me the picture and was like, she told me it was like all the girls used to like your dad.

27:05And it was just like, hell yeah.

27:07Nate Marshall:Yeah, dude. He was probably the absolute girth monster of the dead lot in the 70s.

27:18Nate Marshall:He was the OG girth monster. You gotta find out if he had like a hippie name Because a lot of those dudes did have like an alias That's really funny Yeah, I gotta ask him I'm gonna ask him It probably was just Gearthquake Gearthquake, you're so fucking funny That's true, they called you Gearthquake In Buffalo 72 Son, how'd you know? That's gonna be nice though You give them the mushrooms You gotta play the dead You gotta put on the dead Put on the dead Mac in the day moment Yeah, true That's a good idea I feel like it's a good call. Yeah, that's a good call. My brother's on a similar quest to get my parents on the micros.

27:54Nate Marshall:Yeah, that's nice. It'd be good. It'd be good. They're not in Philly anymore, right? They're in Philly. They're, like, right outside. Okay, okay, okay. Where they've always been. So, I mean, they should just move to Florida. Yeah. Honestly, that would be the most chill. Or at least, like, split time. Yeah. Just go in there all winter and come back. Get around the warm. Yeah. Not worry about shoveling. Does your dad still shovel? Dude, they get, like, I mean, they get full Tonka toys. They have like loaders. They have like excavators, loaders. They don't use an excavator for the thing, but they'll use like backhoes and just plow the driveway.

28:28Nate Marshall:They're so into maintenance. Yeah, okay. Grass, all that shit. So they might miss the winter if they go down the... I think they would enjoy... My dad's a big fisherman. He'll enjoy the fucking boats. He's a big pedal kayak guy. He loves being on the smallest boat in the water and looking at all the big boats and being like, Like, the fuck would you need that? Yeah. It's a fucking waste. It's his favorite thing in the world. The fuck is that? Dude, ain't nothing like cutting your own grass, though. Yeah, I don't know. We would just... I don't want... Like, I don't want to... I haven't... I got an apartment instead of trying to rent a house for that reason.

29:03I did not want to... I used to cut my grandma's grass all the time, and then she had, like, a yard.

29:08Nate Marshall:It's cool. I mean, it's... If you put on... The thing is, is, like, you try to put in the tunes. The fucking lawnmower's so loud. The tunes don't come through that well. I used to mow the lawn back in the day with a seedy walkman. It was just torture. Hit a bump, skip, and I'd be like, fuck. Trying to listen to fucking Wu-Tang forever. I'm surprised you don't have, like, mowing grass fears because of debris. Just real quick, please come to Optimal Noctis, me, LaMere, and Sean.

30:34Mowing grass fears Because of debris What happened to him? He cut his toe off I used to mow it until my grandpa died on the lawnmower It's my bloodline

30:44Nate Marshall:Dang He didn't really? Yeah He was working at the vets Like the Amvets Such a beast there Yeah Then he had like a heart attack It just like kept going Fucking beast That is a fucking beast there It really is Dying on a lawnmower Is nasty You know what kind of graft He was working Fucking John Deere brother John Deere The green and yellow Fuck dude I didn't know that That is such a beastly death It really is Dying what you love Doing what you love You just kept riding Literally rode into the sunset I'm just praying he got to lower the deck. It'd be a shame if he didn't get to lower the deck and just smell that grass one more time.

31:24Nate Marshall:Yeah, I'm on a, right now, I don't know, I don't know when, this just like hit me the other day. I'm on a personal quest right now to make my mind better than the phone scroll. So in any moment that I have mental downtime that I initially, it's like instinctively pull out the phone to scroll. Yeah. I don't know when it just occurred to me. I'm like, dude, that's such a fucking affront to myself. To be like, my mind's not better. Every time I scroll, I'm like, it's pointless. This is dumb. Yeah. Then I'm going, well, I'm saying that's better than just like my mind. I'm like, I'm on a quest now to be like, no, my mind's better than the scroll.

31:57I can find more entertainment in here.

31:59Nate Marshall:I can find more entertainment in my own brain. I don't need the scroll. And I've been off it. I've been off the scroll. My screen time's down to like two hours. I was reading something that was like saying that boredom is like good for your brain too. We're trying so hard to not be bored. You're taking a dump phone. You're waiting at the doctor's phone. And it was like, boredom is good. Your brain is thinking about things. You're getting better empathy. You're doing all this other, I don't know, dumb human shit. Not dumb human shit, but human shit that we don't do as much anymore because all of our downtime is like, all right, I got downtime.

32:34What's going on here?

32:34Nate Marshall:It's literally like subconscious processing. That's why when they say sleep on it, you're thinking about stuff, then your brain goes offline and you wake up and you're like, oh, you know, that's why people figure that out. I think the boredom is like, for me, it's just like, yeah, it's just a sick part of the day. It's like you're left alone with yourself and you have to like, like they did back in like the day when you're out in like a field in like the 1700s, you would just be like staring at the sky with nothing to do. I feel like that's a good idea generation time. That's when you kick out a sick idea or one leaps out of nowhere.

33:05Yeah.

33:06Nate Marshall:That's the whole thing of just constantly pulling that out. It's just, I don't know. I don't know when it happened. And I just got like sick of the idea. I was like, dude, my brain is better. My brain's better than this. Why the fuck am I? What am I doing? Why am I nagging my brain and mind as if like I need to watch people fall and argue? I love watching people fall. Watching people fall is so good. It is nice. You don't need to, but then you see one and you're like, well, that's the funniest thing I've seen all day. I know. It is good. Again, it's not. My problem is I'll be bored And then I'll scroll till I'm so bored of scrolling That then I'm somehow able to return to normal life And I'm like dude I'm just gonna cut it out I'm gonna try my best to cut it out altogether I do feel mentally drained after those long scrolls I can feel like something in the front of my head Feels like tired I don't know maybe dopamine or whatever Your brain's literally going It's so much fucking stimuli It's not like you're going I'm here and now I'm entertained It's like a mentally taxing event to constantly be like, and then to watch and be like, why the fuck would they say that?

34:13It's kind of like a psychological assault. That's my whole point.

34:16Nate Marshall:It's like, dude, it's the, and it's like you have almost every single person tuning in. Everyone has different algorithms, but it's like there's a part of your individuality that is like those quiet moments, I think kind of make up because you're in those moments, you're going, huh, I never thought about this. I never thought about this. But in all your quiet moments to replace with almost like watching a commercial. Yeah. It's going to be like, it's going to have this like bland uniform effect. It's a great way to put it, like watching a fucking commercial. That's kind of what you're doing. You're watching a very sophisticated commercial.

34:46Nate Marshall:Yeah. And it's just like, you know, like a Pepsi commercial, although it's tied to like all the corporations and they're just like keeping you in that like, I call it a negative flow state. And you're just in literally a negative flow state that like goes nowhere. And they're just sending you fucking bullshit. Just anger, horny, you know, somebody got hurt, so that's funny. Yeah. that's awesome oh someone you don't like yeah has embarrassed themselves yeah congratulations

35:14Nate Marshall:no i i'm i'm really am i'm really working that out of being like yeah i need to whatever to fit whatever i'm deficient in to make it so that i can't enjoy a quiet moment with myself i'm gonna actually take that head on rather than staring at my phone and continue to pacify myself into oblivion that's nice do you think a book counts too books are good books are good why are they different than the phone i'll tell you why a book you're taking on the spirit of the author it's a transformative experience you never once you put down a book you can go i've never once put down my scroll and have been inspired in any way the book on the other hand is you're communing with people dead and alive on a very very deep personal level so i would say books 100 this is my prescriptive action is you have to come up with actions that make time feel not like torture so books are constructive action instrument obviously I think is a huge one walks talking to people anything else then staring at I really think it's bad puzzles fantastic puzzles are great I've been wanting shooting to be like my new hobby because I'm close to the range but it's like buying bullets is so fucking It's not like a cheap, you go like, all right, I'm just having a relaxing day.

36:31They're expensive, man. Yeah, you drop 150 old bullets.

36:34Nate Marshall:You're like, well, now I'm stressed out about these bullets. How much are bullets now? I haven't bought bullets in forever. Depending on, because I have a nine and I have like a gun that shoots 5.56. And the nine's not too bad, but the 5.56 is the one I want to shoot more. Yeah. And those are fucking like a box, a decent box is like, I don't know, 150 or something. Like for like 150 of them ends up being like 50, 70 bucks, depending on. Yeah. I don't know. It's always like a different box size when I go to the range. So it's just like a different. Well, you know what you could do? You could become a cop.

37:04Nate Marshall:Because then I think if you're a police officer, you go to the gun range there and they give you ammunition. You can just not use it all and you can stockpile it basically free. So I've heard. I don't know if that's true. But you're stockpiling, brother. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're the well-oiled militia that's going to protect this government, dude. So you deserve some fucking ammo. The taxpayer expense. I like it. I've been getting cop-pilled. What do you mean? Bad cop-pilled or good cop-pilled? No, it's just like a... Ever since the Legos thing, it's really exposed. And I've been watching a lot of Midwest Safety.

37:36And a lot of the cop stuff is just like, cops, they pick a person, and then they're like, that's the bad guy, even if it's not the bad guy.

37:46Nate Marshall:You know what I mean? I don't know. I mean, sometimes, but I also think they have a pretty... And also, I feel like they work for the rich, too. I mean, definitely, dude If you're rich, obviously the cops are going to favor Dude, if you donate to that, like, FOP shit You can do whatever you want If you're, like, for real or in there, like, actively donating to the police all the time Bro, they're going to let you go for sure The first car I ever had, I feel like I, like, never got pulled over And what I did one time as I was driving, they were giving out, like If you gave a donation on the side of the road, they were giving out these magnets that were, I forget what it was, but it was about like a cop who got killed.

38:23It was like something, and I slapped it on the back of the car, and I just had it on there for years. Did I have my white Acura when I knew you? When I had that car, but never. I never really, and then somebody crashed it. I had the FOP sticker. My fiance crashed my OG car. And Stitcher's Comedy Club. At Stitcher's Comedy Club.

38:47Nate Marshall:Dang, somebody crashed it. We were like early date. I picked her up hammered. I was like, you drive back. Crashed it in the parking lot. Dang. Well, here's also, LeVar, to your point, I mean, who do you think tortures cops more, rich people or poor people? Poor people. I mean, but like they have, it's like working at a McDonald's, you know? You know who's going to come. Yeah, true. But still. I mean, to be fair, they're getting tortured by poor people constantly. It's just a matter of fact. And obviously, you know, it's not only that, but it's like they're fucking torturing them, dude. Imagine, dude, just having to go into a domestic dispute.

39:37Nate Marshall:I would be crawling in my skin just because I don't like being there where people are fighting. But then you're around strangers who are going at each other. their children are crying and you're in their house after the hundredth one i'd be like man i really can't stand those guys i really dislike having to do that that sucks so bad they're both screaming at me now that shit sucks so bad yeah i would put it i would put that off so i would be like yeah i'll be let me do something you know that's the only time cop shit really irritates me is when they are doing shit for like quotas or there was a this doc i think we might have talked about it before but it was like about the girls who got killed in austin at the ice cream shop the dude who the first like three dudes who got arrested for who have now like they're they're cleared they got arrested because the the detective who was interviewing him was really good at tricking people into being like the best thing for you to do that'll be like is to say you did it and we'll go from there and you won't get as bad a time.

40:40So he was tricking dudes who didn't do shit to be like, just say you did it, it'll be okay. Yeah. And then they were like in jail, like their lives were ruined.

40:50Nate Marshall:That's jerk stuff. That's the thing when cops, they get like career ambitious. So it's like, yeah, the more stuff they do, the better it looks. They're not upholding their true calling. Yeah. And that shit is like ruining lives on the way. Dude, the DA does it too. Yeah. attorneys do it too they'll be like hey man just it'll be better for you and it for them it's like if they have a prosecution rate that's high they're like that's all they care about yeah so it's not about justice yeah we need to get back to justice i think i'm going to become a justice cop after when when this is all done justice cop would be nice bro i'm telling you i when britney was a cop i was so close to becoming a cop it's kind of it's like as shitty as it is i remember being like you could make this chill your husband wife partners might be awesome Dude, it's more than you think, and I think it's a disaster, honestly.

41:40Nate Marshall:Really? Yeah, cops either marry other cops or nurses. Typically, that's what I saw. The cop-nurse combo is like the fucking absolute age-old love affair. Yeah, the cop sends him to her. He's like, I hurt this guy. Patch him up, man. Patch him up, but not too good. You could make it a chill job, for real. Well, you said it would be? you could you could but the thing is that sucks is I didn't know this but a lot of times starting out you're on shift work so you can work the mornings for two weeks then you're in the afternoons then you're on the fucking graveyard and that shit sucks no matter you can't never get a real sleep schedule no you're fucked you're kind of fried all the time so if you can avoid shift work you need to walk in you need connections if you go in there with a sweet deal where it's like you're on the 7 to 2 you're off that would be chill but it's like I think it's, I don't know.

42:33Seven to two, I'd be a bad seven to two cop because I'd catch a hangover day. Maybe ten to four? Ten to four, I'd be great. Seven to two, you catch me on a hangover, I'd be like, you were speeded. You're going to fucking pay for this.

42:44Nate Marshall:Just say you did it, man. Just fucking say you did it. You know what sucks the most? Imagine if you just munched lunch. You haven't done shit all day. You eat a big fat, you eat a meatball sandwich. And then just like, everybody. they hit you on the radio and now you gotta get out of your car and full sprint after a guy who stole like a fucking pipe off a construction job. That shit, that's why they get heart attacks, man. Because they're just super stressed about it. Dude, they just munch. It's like a, even a snake knows not to move after it ate. A boa constrictor knows to lay for like four days after it eats a fucking prey.

43:23Nate Marshall:Dude, imagine munching fucking lunch. I'm thinking about it. Like, especially like a - Four coffees deep meatball sandwich. Now it's like, go! You're constipated now. You just finished the hoggy. You're three fucking refreshers deep. Starbucks refreshers. And now you're going to chase a guy who might have a gun. You're like, it's fucked up. He better not let me catch him. You fucked up my digestion. The bliss of having just finished a big sandwich. Did you ever hear that statistic about judges? where I guess when people have their hearings, any sort of hearing, like you're trying to get parole or whatever, if you catch the judge, like a couple, like he's close to his lunchtime, but he didn't have lunch yet, is like those dudes have the worst records of like getting out because they're grumpy.

44:18Like when they're a little grumpy, yeah, while they're dealing with them. If you catch them like right after lunch, you have a better shot of getting, I saw something that said that's a real statistic. I didn't do research about it, but I can see it. Your Honor, before I present my case, you hungry? Would you like a Snickers? That's true. Why wait? I saved it my commissary, Your Honor. I worked for 17 hours to get you the Snickers.

44:43Nate Marshall:Here's a pack of peanut butter crackers.

44:47Nate Marshall:I could see that, actually. I could definitely see that. As soon as I heard it, I was like, oh, that makes so much fucking sense. Yeah, oh, dude, especially a lady judge. Come on. Come on, life sentence. You're cooked. Life sentence. You hear a lady speeding in the construction zone. She missed lunch. You're doing three years. Fucking hard labor camp.

45:11Nate Marshall:Why did you do that? I think this is a little ridiculous. What? Your Honor, I think you might just be being overly emotional. Excuse me? Your Honor, is it by any chance your period? They should for real. That's like a real thing. Yeah. That's a real concern. They should not be allowed to be judges. Decide fates? Are you kidding me? Yeah, I never even thought about that. That's unreasonable. It's crazy. We've gone a little too far with, dude. Where's the statistic on that? There's got to be one. There's got to be. You can't even study it because they'd be like, what? That's my business. Look that up.

45:55Nate Marshall:There's got to be something. There's got to be something to that. what is the grok what is the period judge statistic dude i while you find that lamare i had a uh we were talking fourth of july earlier we had in my neighborhood there was like a little they did like a little thing where like all the kids and whoever could like walk around i guess like a parade yeah and uh you know and it was it was hot as fuck you know as we know I was like, huh? Dude, it was hot. It was, like, fucking hot as shit. So we were like, all right, we'll just, like, go. We knew where the end point was. Let's just chill.

46:34Nate Marshall:We'll do our thing. And then we'll go to the end point of the parade. And we'll wait. Because then, like, they opened up this little building. And they did face painting and all this shit. Yeah. So, like, we'll just wait for, like, the after party type thing on 4th of July. It's just, like, fucking whatever it was. Like, 10 in the morning. It was early. So. Or 12. Whatever it was. But so we're, like, ready to go in. It's, like, a crowd now. all the parade walkers are done. They're waiting outside this building. And it's like a decent little crowd. Yeah. And there's like the kids are excited. There's face painting.

47:02Nate Marshall:There's like cotton candy and shit inside. So we're like waiting to go in. And, you know, with all this, like whenever there's like a free public thing, you're always like, oh, this is nice. Yeah. There's always weird politicians, like low-level politicians that come and they use it. They like hold you hostage to do their bullshit politician stuff. You just sit there and listen. Dude, this was the weirdest part. So I'm like, all right, excited. I fall for it every time. And I'm like, oh, of course. Here comes the fucking some guy who's a whatever cabinet chancellor bullshit. So this guy starts talking.

47:39Nate Marshall:And I didn't realize they had a camera. And they're giving speeches. But they didn't have a real mic. They only had a road mic that hooked audio to the camera. So they were doing political content in front of a crowd. and nobody could hear them. Oh, so they're not like no projection. They weren't even talking to us. They were using the visual of a crowd and being like what 4th of July means to me. It was fucking pissing me off. No, that stinks. That stinks. So bad. On the day of independence. Yeah. On the 250th birthday, you're going to make a fool of us? On 250, bro? Oh, man. I forgot if it was 250, I might have dumped something over.

48:18Nate Marshall:I might have flipped the face paint into the fucking pond. Bro, it was$250. Dude, three of them or three or four of them did these fucking jerked off speeches. It bothered me so much, dude. It was fucking so brutal. And it was like nobody could hear them. Yeah, it was just for sure. And they go, okay, hold on. They take it off, give it to the other guy. And they use the crowd almost as like a, yeah, man. Look at my supporters. Look what I'm up to here. And it was like, you motherfucker, man. Yeah, people are bringing out their kids to see me. And to hear my thoughts on this. It's like, dude, fucking open the face paint.

48:51Nate Marshall:Get the fuck out of the way. Those politician guys, it'd be so easy for them to be like, hey, I'm a... If they were just had a slight sense of humor, like, hey, me, local scumbag politician, just letting you guys know, get in there. It's going to be sick. Happy Fourth of July, everybody. I would go, I remember that guy. He was fucking normal. He was cool as hell. I have no other faces of these names. I'll fucking tack that guy on. Just be transparent. Like, hey, I'm running for office. Annoyingly, I have to just, like, get my face out. there. I know it sucks. Love you guys. Happy 4th of July. Let's get after the cotton candy.

49:23Nate Marshall:Hey, little kid, dude. You need to fucking ruffle little kid's head? You need to hit a little scamp, bro. Head ruffle. A little baby kiss? I would have instantly been like, what's up, little guy? You gotta get in there? Politicians can't kiss kids anymore, though, I think. Nah, head ruffle is all you can do. Maybe baby. Maybe baby, but after, I think the like all that other Epstein, all that shit has kind of been kissing the kids. Nah, you gotta go full open mouth. It's just a hickey on a baby Man that guy really loves Our constituents If you're so upfront about it It can't be that weird It's like when a dog's corner of its mouth Goes up Whoa sir Yeah I was just Watching that being like this is bad It just sucked It's like dude be fun if you're a politician If you're trying to attract attention First of all if and again maybe this isn't a youtube maybe this is for their personal website but if which probably was a youtube video do you really fucking think anyone's gonna watch yeah a shitty speech on it was like or dude be a fucking order dude get out there and project yeah fellow constituents like if you guys might even actually with their voice command attention that's good like well they did have a crazy homeless lady who was there who was like their kind of like mascot for and she She was rocking it, dude.

50:45Nate Marshall:She was, they had a marching band, and she was just like yelling nonsense and moving around. I was like, at least she's entertaining. Yeah. These guys were boring. I was in the very front going, boo. I kept fucking my kids being like, boo. This is boring. What were they doing? They were just laughing. Like, look at me. We get a face paint. I'm like, once these jerk off, stop talking. Once these jerked off, low-level politicians, shut up. We can finally get cotton candy and face paint. Dude, I saw Brittany at Jutes on Monday. Yeah, she was dropping it. The little old jiu-jitsu camp. My kids were kind of stoked on that.

51:18But, dude, I was, oh, yeah.

51:20Nate Marshall:So then, yeah, we go in there, and it was just like, it was fucking annoying. Fourth of July did rule, though. I was in a pool all day. It was fucking nasty as hell. Got to play horse, pool ball. But then Sunday, so I go to the farmer's market, and that's one of my favorite things during the week. I like going to the farmer's market. I like, whenever there's a new vendor, I'm like, ooh, what's this? Ooh, raw milk cheese? Yes, please. which, by the way, I'm going to eat when I get home. But the... Fart Max Cubby. Dude, it was the... I've been... I don't know what it is. So there's been... I've been discovering just new freaks.

51:55Nate Marshall:There's different... And this one guy, I think, was one of one. I'm at the farmer's market. I'm in line to get... I was getting, like, figs and peaches or whatever. So I'm in line to get that in a watermelon. I'm in line ready to get my produce. It's fucking hot. We all know it's hot outside. It's hotter than they're saying it is. That's a fair point. I think the weatherman might be lying to us. Yes. It's probably like 200 degrees right now. I think it's 250 degrees outside. There's no way it's only 98. Dude, I'm in line. We're all crammed in. And lines at a farmer's market, I've already talked about this, are annoying enough because everyone feels like they have to talk to the fucking vendor where they're like, hey, man, those peaches I had last week.

52:33Nate Marshall:It's like, shut the fuck up. Buy your peaches, dude. We're in 1 ,000 degrees in a line. Buy and fucking leave. but whatever that's fine i'm dealing with that and uh i'm in line and there's this older guy behind me you know it's hot we're all hot and this guy goes ah right in my fucking ear and i go come on bro i'm looking ahead like that better have been one of like no more of those two minutes later oh and i turn around i'm like bro are you okay yeah you're moaning in my we're all hot This is despicable what you're up to. How old did he look? He wasn't old enough. He was like maybe my dad's age.

53:14Okay, okay.

53:15Nate Marshall:It's where it's like, dude, this is crazy behavior right now. Yeah, you're not dying. Get out the heat. No, yeah, just fucking move, dude. Get out of here. You can't get peaches this week. You're going to die. Did you hear about Big Boy? No. It was this train. It was this train that was going through all of PA, like an old train that people were really excited to see, like an old freight train. And they're all out there waiting, just waiting for it just to drive past, but it was so fucking hot in PA that like 150 people went down for the heat exhaustion. Mid-train? Like they were not on it. They're just standing at the side of the tracks waiting for it to drive past.

53:56It was just like a thousand autistic people. There were so many people watching this train. Oh, these were just train enthusiasts. It was just enthusiasts. Over a hundred of them went down to just... See the big boy. Just to see the big boy. No deaths, no deaths. Three, 30 hospitalizations and like a hundred plus EMT like needed to help.

54:18Nate Marshall:So their butt got as sweaty as it could. Waiting for the train. You're passing out the big boy. It's so fucking funny. It's just a loud freight train. It's nothing else. It doesn't shoot off fireworks when it comes past. Oh, my God. It rides past, it stops for a little, and then keeps going. On panties this week, we were like, it was big boy mania. I mean, giving it all, leaving it all in the field for big boy is nuts. Like, I know I left it all in the tracks. I was stood the maximum amount of heat for big boy. And me and 100 other biggest nerds ever just fucking passed out. That is so funny. Like, imagine dying like that.

55:02Nate Marshall:That might be something I would walk away from my kid. If my kid's passed out waiting for Big Boy, I would just quietly turn heel and fucking get in my car and drive away. I'd be like, I don't want to do this anymore. If my fucking kid passed out for Big Boy. I raised the belt. Fat autistic son. One arm across his shoulder like fucking Vietnam and is walking back to your car. Come on. The Big Boy passed. Yeah, he passed. It was beautiful. You saw it. You saw it. Oh, man. Passing out and missing Big Boy? Missing Big Boy. I didn't even think about that. This is final words. Did I say Big Boy does?

55:42Nate Marshall:Yeah, they had a red, white, and blue banner on the front of the grill. It was beautiful, son. You saw it. You saw it. You saw it. I promise you saw it. You just don't remember you saw it. It is a pretty nice train, though. When we saw it. I mean, to be honest, I would. It's undeniable. Yeah, any of us could pass out looking at Big Boy. Especially when it's 300 degrees outside. You dressed for 110 and it was 340 degrees. I mean, it is the palest legs. It's like central PA. Imagine the flashbang. Because if your kid's gone down, you're probably close. Yeah. And you're just walking through a field of passed out autists.

56:18Nate Marshall:The train horn's like... Where am I? It's goddamn D-Day. How's there no snack bar? Where's the concession stand? there was none of that you're getting hella back to a quick stop right now

56:40Nate Marshall:I wish I knew about it how did I not see the big boy fall out getting the ambulance to his sheets his sofa apparently Mom Donnie's against the fucking autists right now because he did the air conditioning he like tried to have it so people couldn't have their air conditioning below 78 degrees or 74 whatever the fuck it was because they were expecting outages because there was a massive heat wave. So I think he did try to get into some cool socialism. Like, come on, guys, let's all be the same temperature, isn't it? Wouldn't that be cool if we're all the same exact temperature, guys? And already people are like, fuck you, dude.

57:16Nate Marshall:Yeah, it's hot as shit. I'm going to 73. And also, to be fair, that's like give me liberty or give me death. It's like give me 72 degrees or give me blackout. I'd rather be hot and sweltering And just like a complete electrical blackout Than be like Oops the governor said Or whoever said The mayor said I couldn't go below this thing in my house That's the one thing Because if it blacks out You're like Well everybody was under 74 Yeah Imagine you had Jersey on 74 You're hot as shit And it still blacks out And you go to your neighbor's house They're on 73 And you're going Bro Mayor's orders He goes What are you going to tell you bitch Now would you be pissed If you went to your neighbor's house And they were on 68 Well, this was the big thing.

57:57Nate Marshall:The thing I saw was that I think Taylor Swift either had or was planning to have a concert, or not a concert, a wedding. Yeah, yeah, yeah. With her beloved. Yeah, she had it. Kelsey, she had it. And they were going, I bet that wasn't 74 degrees. It's like, yeah, of course it wasn't, dude. Yeah, yeah. She rented out MSG. Also, again, it's like I'm not like a huge proponent of the rights of billionaires, but this whole thing of being like the billionaires, It's like, yeah, they're fucking billionaires. Yeah, they're going to do it. They're not going to be. All the shit you're worried about, just stop making it seem like it'll ever have anything to do with them.

58:33Nate Marshall:They're financial mutants. Yeah. They're not going to be like, well, we're going to turn down our thermostats. It's like, no. They're billionaires. It's like, I get why you're mad, but it's like, be real. Yeah. You're not going to be like, well, do it, billionaire. That's why they have a billion dollars. They're going to be like, hey, fucking turn off their shit. Yeah. They can do that. That's what happens when you're a fucking billionaire. I don't know. It's not a welcome take, but it's like, stop comparing yourself. It's just a fucking billionaire. It is what it is. One of those. It is what it is kind of thing.

59:05It completely is. Yeah.

59:07Nate Marshall:It's like at least free yourself of the mental burden by being like, I bet Taylor Swift's wedding was. Yeah, it fucking was, dude. She's a billionaire. She had a comfortable wedding in Madison Square Garden. Stop wasting your time worrying about. Yeah, you're never going to get anywhere that way. I've tried to have a similar conversation with my mom about politics. Exactly. She'll be like, it doesn't matter. You're old as shit. Yeah, it's sad you're mad about this. It's a sad thing to get mad about. That's exactly. I've said it to her. It bums me out how much time you spend thinking about this.

59:37Yeah, you're going to die one day, lady. You have a mayor telling you to control your thermostat. You think she feels the same way with you about aliens? I don't talk to her about it. I'm not a psycho. I'm not going to be like, Mom, have you heard about these aliens?

59:51Nate Marshall:It is funny to calm her down about the news and be like, no, about these aliens. What, Nathan? I'm about to die. That's the thing, too. It's like, I don't know. It's just you read all this shit, and it's like. There is the other aspect where it's like, you know, if we're going into a future of super hot, super cool socialism, which we might be, of just babes being like, let's all come together as one and turn down our thermostats. It's like, yeah, maybe. There's a cool community aspect in that. But first of all, it's like, I know people are cheating, dude. Yeah. I know people are going, well, I have fucking...

1:00:28Nate Marshall:Have you been getting the Austin Energy text? No. I've been getting the text from Austin Energy that's like, we're expecting higher because of the heat here. I'm getting the same thing. Maybe below on your electricity. They don't get specific about the temperatures, but they are like... They're big. Be conscious of it. Be conscious of the electric you're using during the day. No, man. and you're about to get a data center$1 ,000 bill. I know, right? It's going to be crazy. Do we have them here now? There's data centers in Texas. I don't know if there's Maine Austin. Yeah. But there's some, like, outside.

1:00:56Nate Marshall:And they're jacking up the electrical bills for everybody because they're using so much electrical that it then becomes so in demand that they can raise their prices. Kind of on the electrical companies, dude. It's on the electrical companies. And the data centers are, like, lying about how much electricity they're going to use, too. The thing that sucks is they put them in lowly populated places which are usually not a lot of money there. So you just get a person making $40 ,000 a year. And then their bill skyrockets. My thing is, why doesn't the utility company take the W and say, cool, we're now selling more gigawatts or whatever the fuck they're called?

1:01:33Well, there's this one company that stopped giving power to people. It's going to stop giving power to people in just 40 minutes. Power to the people? It's going to stop. It's taking away the power from the people. What the fuck?

1:01:44Nate Marshall:Their literal power? Yeah. It's literally taking the power away from the people. Is that true? Yeah, in like Mount Vernon, California or something. Hold on, but they're just not going to have electricity now? I find that hard to believe. They're just going to have to get another company to come support the town. I find that strikes me as sensational. I don't know, man. Maybe that's true. Again. Because, like, dude, think about it. If the people can't afford it and the company with all the tax breaks can't afford it, you're going to go with the guys who are the money. You're just going to give all your electrical to the company?

1:02:11Yeah.

1:02:14Nate Marshall:dude i'm sorry dude if you were one day they were like bro yeah i would not give you a lot of revolt that sucks i would be fucking livid if they're like i was trying to find it i don't dude you're kind of you got to kind of like do something if you want electricity it's like come on man what the fuck i was asking for a little bit of juice here i'm trying to power my switch and watch some TV. You want to build a goddamn generator? I find that. So I highly doubt that's true. I'll be honest. There's no way. Find that story. I need to see if that's actually true. But the Momdani thing is making me laugh.

1:02:53I just, I have a, I'm just curious to watch that all play out.

1:02:58Nate Marshall:Here's the thing. I'll be honest. If that worked, if he somehow united the entire city of New York in some very kind, compassionate thoughtful manner that works for all that's amazing i i just there's no there's no track record of ever really people ever getting away with that and doing it without that devolving into the people in power becoming absolute fucking psychopath yeah like wow i'm controlling everybody yeah yeah i just don't you know i don't see that working out but we'll see in the meantime in new york city don't touch that fucking thermostat you think the plan i will tell Like his people, he'll say everybody do it, but he knows his supporters will be like, Mandani said, so they'll do it in that half or however many is enough to kind of be like, all right, we fucking, we got the dumbass half.

1:03:44What do you, wait, do you mean like? Like the people who voted for him who are like super Mandani supporters, like say he gets that, like a small portion of that group, which says like one-tenth of the population of New York to actually do it. He's saying it to everybody, but they are like, there's no fucking way everybody's going to do it. but that one tenth is enough. You know what I mean? Like, almost like you're tricking the people. Like, everybody do this. And he's like, no way everybody's going to fucking do this.

1:04:08Nate Marshall:Maybe. I personally, I think it could be, and again, I don't know if it's this deep, but maybe it could be one of those, like, they call it the totalitarian tiptoe, where it's like, hey, everybody turn your fucking hair down and see if you can get them to do little by little, see how much control you really have. Then they start putting a monitor on your shit. Because I wonder, because they could probably measure in watts how much people are actually listening to him, which is kind of creepy to be like, let's measure the electrical output and see if people are fake. 100 % with AI now. 100 % can't.

1:04:38You can look in people's house with Wi-Fi.

1:04:40Nate Marshall:Probably, yeah. No, you can't. No, I've seen that. Yeah, you can. The signal bounces off the walls, and then it hits anything that's interfering the signal, and it can tell you what's in the room. Whoa, that's kind of sick. Yeah, it's crazy. I think the government, the military can do that. Look in. They can see everything in this room. Like us sitting here being fat I don't know if it's I don't know if it's bouncing off of our penises I don't know if they can see that Or if it's just like your clothes outline I spend a decent amount of time in here naked to be honest If I like walk or work out I'm sweaty And then I come in here and I throw my clothes in that washing machine And I usually get a shower and I'll just sit here Just wait Waiting for my clothes My clothes are just in the process of being taken care of They're being washed I found a story that says What's the scoop?

1:05:25Envy Energy, the Nevada utility company, has supplied most of Lake Tahoe's electricity for decades. It has informed Lake Tahoe's Liberty Utilities that it intends to will stop delivering power to the region sometime after May 2027, forcing the provider responsible for serving 50K area residents to scramble for a replacement energy source.

1:05:47Nate Marshall:So they're going to have a new place to step in. But because they're giving all of their energy to the data centers, because up in North Vegas is where they're building the most data centers. Yikes. Okay, so then they have to. Dang, so they're not even hooking them up with, like, here, these guys will switch you over. Yeah. You got to find a new guy by May 2027. That's not a little bit of people. 50 ,000 is a lot of fucking people. That doesn't even make sense. So my thing is that electric is attached to an infrastructure. Yeah. So you can't just be like, unless somebody, someone must have taken that over.

1:06:20No, I think they're saying someone's going to have to take it over

1:06:25Nate Marshall:I don't think you can legally do that as an electrical owner They're doing it Man, they must be paying so much Yeah, they must be giving Trump money Yeah, true Trump 2.0 is not going down favorably I'm like Let a lot of people do Not a lot of people are going down favorably Even the FIFA thing was interesting too stepped in and reversed the red card. Oh, did they actually reverse it in Canada? Yeah. So way after the game happened, they ended up reversing it? So the dude got a red card in one game. He was kicked out of that game, and then he was supposed to be suspended for the Belgium game. And apparently, I don't know if it's true, Trump knows the guy from FIFA somehow, which I'm curious how he knows him.

1:07:11Nate Marshall:It almost strikes me as like, he might have some dirt on the guy. The FIFA guy? Well, the FIFA guy reversed. Apparently, I didn't realize that's never been done before. Like, appealing the red card suspension. Yeah. They somehow did it and got it done. So then that player was allowed to play in the Team USA game against Belgium, which they just lost anyway. Damn, so. The international community was fucking livid about that. But now, England's going for a red card appeal. Yeah. So England's like, fuck you. If you let them do it, we can do it. Got it. Just give it to them. It's so sick. America ruined the World Cup.

1:07:46Nate Marshall:Didn't England win, though? But I think someone got a red card in their battle against Mexico, so they will be suspended for the next game, and England's being like, yo, fuck this. Yeah. There's a lot of sad people walking down the street on a day. Mexico game? Yeah. Those jerseys are sick, though. They are. They're fire. Those jerseys are sick. They're very sick. You know what? There was no sad Americans, though. When we lost, everybody seemed relieved. Yeah, I was at the bar, and everybody was like, aw, that sucks. Hot take, soccer is a minor league sport. It's literally a minor. It's the Philadelphia Phantoms, dude.

1:08:22Nate Marshall:I'm stoked people are excited about it, but it's genuinely, World Cup is minor league. It just is, dude. It was fun for a little bit, knowing other countries were getting to watch us be dickheads, though. It's their favorite time of the decade, and it's just us with red, white, blue face paint, yelling USA being mid. They're like, you guys aren't even that good. Shut the fuck up. Dude, it's like if the Philadelphia Phantoms went and played abroad and like, yeah, they got fourth place in a global tournament. We'd go, cool. Yeah, nice. Cool. Kind of did better than we thought. Yeah, great. I'm glad everyone had fun, man.

1:09:02Nate Marshall:That's a good thing. I'm glad everyone got there and gave it the best. What do you want to call it? What the hell is it going to say? People, apparently, you know how everyone abroad is like, America sucks. apparently the world cup was a giant um it was a big leg up for like the image of america abroad because everyone there's all the shit was going back where everyone's like this place rules i don't know everyone's saying america sucks everyone's assholes but all these people from all over the world were like it's country fucking rules yeah they got to experience it but the trump reversal i think erased some of that goodwill where they're like i knew it they think they can do whatever they want first of all we did we literally can like literally like the revert which again i don't know how they did that but that was like oh you know but that uh yeah i'm glad everyone's enjoying the world cup it's fun it's fun to watch but again it's losing is kind of like whatever guys we won we made all that money all our businesses thrived during the world cup yeah it's been great for us we looked great during it i've been enjoying watching like foreign people try our foods.

1:10:05Yeah, ranch is a big one, apparently. Ranch?

1:10:07Nate Marshall:Yeah, apparently there's a lot of videos of foreigners trying ranch and being like, what the fuck is this shit? I've seen good ones of barbecue. Like, they're trying barbecue and them being like, grabbing one of them big ribs and just being like, holy shit. Taking a bite and being like, oh, man, I'm not coming back. I'm not going back to where I'm from. American cow, very big cow. Yeah. So while they're just in Philly, they're yelling, I just go, good birds in like a dumb accent just just like i mean dude it really is it's uh it's sick to let people come here and be like yeah this place actually kind of does rule yeah let's stop being haters for a second and be like this place kind of fucking rocks we have our problems obviously but like it fucking rocks dude what are we talking about it rocks you know it sucks the town got fucking completely unplugged sucks that sucks i'm sorry there are places where the coolest thing to do is go see a big train drive past him.

1:11:02That kind of sucks. No, that's good. One of them was in Reading, like where I'm from. That strikes me

1:11:08Nate Marshall:as a big train town, to be honest. We're on the Monopoly board. We're the train. We're the Reading Railroad. That's us. Oh, shit. That's us. I didn't even think about it. The railroad doesn't run anymore. I think it was like a big deal because it came back through where it didn't run for my whole life. Yeah, that's fucking right. Reading, no surprise. That's probably why I had the association was from there. I think we did. Let's switch over. We'll just jam this up and maybe cut it in half, Lamer. Let's just keep rocking, man. Keep rolling. Hell yeah. Let me pee real quick. I have to pee. Yep.
