Barrett Gruber:That is correct.
Barrett Gruber:We didn't get to interview Cal Dodd and Matthew Wood.
Barrett Gruber:We did not.
Barrett Gruber:We did Sam Witwer and Matthew Watterson, and they were fantastic.
Barrett Gruber:I actually reached out to Matthew Watterson on Instagram and asked him if he'd be willing to come on the show with us for a little while before the Coastal Comic Con.
Barrett Gruber:He has seen my message and he did not respond, which is, you know.
Zach King:Well, that's when you go, like, I know you've seen this.
Zach King:I don't want to be that Guy.
Barrett Gruber:Look.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, look, you've responded.
Barrett Gruber:You've responded to a message from me now, and you can't cut that off.
Barrett Gruber:I don't know how Instagram works, but I know I can keep sending you messages till you were still open.
Zach King:We'll tell Guy, and if Guy has to give you a personal cell phone call, it will happen.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Barrett Gruber:Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like he's going to be at Coastal Con this year.
Zach King:That sucks, because he was an awesome interview.
Barrett Gruber:He was fantastic.
Zach King:Sunspot.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, Sunspot on X Men 97.
Barrett Gruber:I'm hoping that we get an opportunity to speak with Guy at some point.

Barrett Gruber:I know the inauguration is coming up and maybe you want to wear something for the inauguration.
Barrett Gruber:They have sad faces too.
Zach King:So actually the elf just have the elf just drooping a flag.
Barrett Gruber:My suggestion now is that we need, yeah, we need, we need some sad, we need some sad art on the, on there as well.
Barrett Gruber:Zach.
Barrett Gruber:I, I, I, I may have inadvertently blown up on TikTok a little while ago earlier today as well as on YouTube.
Barrett Gruber:So between YouTube and TikTok, I'm looking at like 6, 000 views on a video that I posted specifically about Mike Johnson has the speaker of the House has now ordered that the flags for the inauguration on the Capitol be flown at full staff.
Barrett Gruber:And that is because over the course of the last two weeks, Donald Trump has been basically publicly crying about the fact that he would be the only president in history to ever be inaugurated with flags at half staff.
Barrett Gruber:Now, I knew, I didn't know there was another president.
Barrett Gruber:I was gonna let it go.
Barrett Gruber:I didn't know there was another president that had been inaugurated with their flags at half or with the flag.
Barrett Gruber:Capitol flags at half staff.
Zach King:You're not the only one, apparently.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, I did, I didn't know that.
Barrett Gruber:And honestly, I was just gonna let it go.
Barrett Gruber:I wasn't gonna say anything.
Barrett Gruber:I was, you know, it was just gonna be one of those, oh, Donald Trump's being, you know, Donald Trump and was just ultimately gonna just let it go.
Barrett Gruber:But then when Mike Johnson ordered that the flags for the inauguration are going to be at full staff, even though President Carter passed away less than 30 days ago, I decided that it was probably something needed to be said.
Barrett Gruber:So a friend of the show, Ami, hostess of the podcast welcome to Wonderland, which you can find everywhere as well, she, she mentioned this morning, she asked Me, if there had been another president.
Barrett Gruber:And I was like, I have no idea.
Barrett Gruber:I didn't look.
Barrett Gruber:And, and so she pulled it up and sure enough, it was.
Barrett Gruber:Harry Truman had passed away 25 days before the inauguration, the second inauguration of President Nixon.
Barrett Gruber: he flags at half staff in the: Zach King:Do we think Richard Nixon gave us shit?
Barrett Gruber:Not.
Barrett Gruber:I don't think he remotely cared.
Barrett Gruber:I, and honestly, it's probably because he had a bunch of, he had a bunch of other stuff going on with Watergate.
Barrett Gruber:The likelihood was he was, he was.
Zach King:These flags are lower than they should be.
Zach King:I just wanted to point that out while I'm here.
Barrett Gruber:I accept that these are low.
Zach King:I don't know who, who Terry Sherman is, but.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, so I made, I made a video that all it did was basically just point out the fact, hey, here is photographic evidence that there was a president in modern day history who was inaugurated with flags at half staff because of the death of another president.
Barrett Gruber:Previous president.
Zach King:Now certain.
Zach King:A certain demographic, certain demographic that uses one platform.
Zach King:Understood.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Zach King:Mocked, laughed.
Zach King:And a certain platform was just full of blissful, ignorant, GFB craziness.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Barrett Gruber:I, I have to, I have to.
Barrett Gruber:I, I, I'm gonna, I'm gonna say it.
Barrett Gruber:The amount of views and support and comments on T that were accepting of the information that were, that were responsive to it is, was, was overwhelming.
Barrett Gruber:It was more than I expected.
Barrett Gruber:The, on, on the YouTube, the number of comments that were made that were.
Barrett Gruber:Honestly, they, Some of them were just downright like, attacking, attacking me.
Barrett Gruber:Like, one commenter, I'm trying to find one commenter actually said, he said, he told me to get a life.
Barrett Gruber:He said, you'll need a vast amount of cope to make it through the next four years.
Barrett Gruber:To which I said, sadly, this is my life.
Zach King:This.
Zach King:The thing that bothers me the most is the grammar is insane.
Zach King:Like, if, if there was some tribunal where we got like, we, we were about to get like, Ed Stark, like, executed for being like, I think people should be able to control their own lives.
Zach King:They're like, no, so we're about to get beheaded.
Zach King:The thing that would, like, make me the most depressed outside of losing my life is seeing some dude hold a sign that instead of worst, it says worse.
Zach King:Because you know exactly what comment I'm talking about.
Zach King:Because I was just like, yeah, I would just cut it off.
Zach King:I don't want to be here anymore.
Zach King:Let's go.
Barrett Gruber:And here's.
Barrett Gruber:Here's for the people commenting on YouTube that are trying to either hurt my feelings or put me in my place or whatever.
Barrett Gruber:I love it.
Barrett Gruber:I'm here for it.
Barrett Gruber:So the comment was, get a life.
Barrett Gruber:You'll need a vast amount of cope to make it through the next four years.
Barrett Gruber:Laffy face, laughy face, laughy face.
Barrett Gruber:And I responded, I said, yeah, sadly, this is my life.
Barrett Gruber:And then somebody else said, take it easy on him.
Barrett Gruber:He's still living with his mother.
Barrett Gruber:I'll have you know.
Barrett Gruber:That one I take offense at because I don't live with my mother.
Barrett Gruber:I haven't lived with my.
Barrett Gruber:And she listens to this show, so she can come to my defense in the show.
Barrett Gruber:Show notes or I'm sorry, Mom.
Barrett Gruber: haven't lived with you since: Zach King:Tell them all that, Xander.
Zach King:Tell them that he does not live with you.
Barrett Gruber:I am not.
Zach King:Other son does.
Barrett Gruber:I am not living.
Barrett Gruber:That's right.
Barrett Gruber:I am not living with my mother.
Barrett Gruber:And to which my response was bold claim.
Barrett Gruber:Thanks for helping with the algorithm.
Barrett Gruber:You know.
Barrett Gruber:And then somebody else responded, that's all you got.
Barrett Gruber:We know what you like.
Barrett Gruber:That one confused me.
Barrett Gruber:I'm not sure where that one was going.
Zach King:I think the worst one is gone.
Zach King:And I use that correctly.
Zach King:But he was like, I lived during the time of Jimmy Carter and he was the worst president.
Barrett Gruber:I did.
Zach King:Yeah, he was the worst.
Barrett Gruber:He was the worst taken down.
Barrett Gruber:Idiot.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Barrett Gruber:And that was purely by his choice.
Barrett Gruber:Look, I'm, again, I'm here for it.
Barrett Gruber:All of the negative comments, whatever it is that people want to say, I don't thrive off of it.
Barrett Gruber:It's not that I get something out of it, but it is entertain.
Barrett Gruber:Entertaining.
Barrett Gruber:And, and, and the amount of work that some of these below 50 IQ people have put into it is just, you know, I enjoy it.
Barrett Gruber:One guy commented, daddy, Trump is home.
Barrett Gruber:And I said, you don't.
Barrett Gruber:And I, I looked at his profile.
Barrett Gruber:I went and looked at it.
Barrett Gruber:I said, you don't look like the kind of guy to call a man daddy, but, man, good for you.
Barrett Gruber:I said, some have a really hard time coming out, you know, so kudos.
Zach King:Someone must have yelled at him, like, finish cleaning the septic tank.
Barrett Gruber:I, I'm just, I'm.
Barrett Gruber:I'm dumbfounded by the fact that, like, one person even responded like, oh, you went and did research?
Barrett Gruber:It's like, yes, because if I didn't, if I didn't know something just based on just hearing something and not knowing it, if it sparks an interest in me, I'm going to research It.
Barrett Gruber:I'm going to look it up to see potentially what it is.
Barrett Gruber:That's seeing whether it's true or whether you know what, what background there is to it.
Barrett Gruber:I'm going to look it up just because it potentially has me interested.
Zach King:Can I bring in a special guest to see if they know it?
Barrett Gruber:Okay, sure.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, absolutely.
Zach King:Hi, Gemini.
Barrett Gruber:Hey there.
Barrett Gruber:What can I do for you today?
Zach King:Was there any president that was inaugurated while the flags were at half staff?
Barrett Gruber:I can't help with responses on elections and political figures.
Barrett Gruber:Right?
Zach King:Oh, no, he took the middle lane.
Barrett Gruber:He did take.
Zach King:If he, if he didn't have that leash on him, he'd tell you.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Barrett Gruber:So trying to check with artificial intelligence systems to decipher whether or not they know if a president was elected or inaugurated with the flag.
Zach King:It's kind of wild that it won't, it will not comment politically anything about political stuff.
Barrett Gruber:See, and that to me, doesn't, it doesn't strike me as a politically left or politically right thing.
Zach King:It's a fact.
Zach King:Yeah.
Zach King:What's a fact?
Barrett Gruber:But yeah, so just a heads up, if anyone listening to this goes on to any of our social medias and they find some of the posts and there's a desire to comment, that would potentially be, I don't know, would potentially be trying to be negative or try and incite some sort of rage out of me or Zach, it's not going to happen.
Barrett Gruber:I acknowledge to someone that, you know, my early years of living here in Columbia, South Carolina, I did comedy, I did stand up comedy.
Barrett Gruber:And I guess Zach and I are just built differently than, than some people when it comes to how we respond to critiques and not even non critiques.
Barrett Gruber:Just flat out, it's stupid.
Zach King:Yeah, like a lot.
Zach King:Like 50 Cent.
Zach King:You can find me in the club.
Barrett Gruber:In the club.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Barrett Gruber:So, you know, that was, that was my day.
Barrett Gruber:Today.
Barrett Gruber:We are what, how?
Barrett Gruber:We're five days, I guess, four days away from the TikTok ban going into effect.
Barrett Gruber:So by the time most people are listening this episod because, you know, we.
Barrett Gruber:If you're not a, if you're not a member, if you're not a paid member for the podcast and then if.
Zach King:There was ever a time to like share and subscribe.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Barrett Gruber:Oh, yeah, no, that.
Barrett Gruber:Honestly, look, I have, I have jumped onto this mass following, this mass following thing that's been going on.
Barrett Gruber:Have you, have you seen any of these?
Barrett Gruber:So on TikTok, there's a lot of people that are saying, hey, if TikTok's going away.
Barrett Gruber:Let's do a mass following.
Barrett Gruber:Let's just, let's blow it up.
Barrett Gruber:Let's everybody become, you know, thousand followers and, and just see how far we can take it.
Zach King:And I, everyone follow.
Zach King:Follow Matt Gates.
Barrett Gruber:I was shocked at the number of 16 year olds on Matt Gates's thing.
Barrett Gruber:You'd think they would have been warned by now.
Barrett Gruber:But I, so I've, every time I see a mass follow, come on, I like share, subscribe or follow and then, and then I, I share it or you know, reshare it, whatever.
Barrett Gruber:And you know, it's, it's, it's pushed me over the 600 mark.
Barrett Gruber:I haven't done it on the podcasts TikTok because I, I, I don't know.
Barrett Gruber:I find myself on mine more often than, than the podcast one.
Barrett Gruber:But, but yeah, I, encouraging it.
Barrett Gruber:Look, before TikTok degrades, I, I say everybody do everything you can to make the most out of it.
Zach King:There's a lot used to be fun.
Barrett Gruber:It's still fun.
Barrett Gruber:There's just the, the, the, the looming, the looming fear that its success is going to not, I guess the success is going to come to a demise.
Zach King:Ruin our, completely ruin our other podcast.
Barrett Gruber:That's a fact.
Barrett Gruber:In fact, what the pod is that what the pod was that is going to have to potentially convert into a show where Carrie just tells her story, tells us stories about her dating life to which our response will be.
Zach King:The pod was that while we sip on mayonnaise shots.
Barrett Gruber:Oh gosh.
Barrett Gruber:I mean we could.
Zach King:That just felt like a booger.
Zach King:Didn't even have aftertaste.
Zach King:It's just like that one you can't spit out at that time that you got down right after you were sick and you would just have to swallow it.
Barrett Gruber:It was bad.
Barrett Gruber:What, what Zach's talking about is we did, we did the Tapeworm Shop which was like vodka, it was vodka tabas sauce.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Zach King:Black pepper and, and then mayonnaise.
Barrett Gruber:A squirt of mayonnaise which made it look like it was a tape.
Zach King:And I got the biggest shot of mayonnaise.
Zach King:Don't get me wrong, I love me some mayonnaise, but Jesus Christ, that was just a booger.
Barrett Gruber:A hot booger.
Barrett Gruber:It was not one that I will ever try again.
Barrett Gruber:I could say, I've tried it now.
Barrett Gruber:That's all I needed.
Zach King:I would try it again if we could blend it.
Zach King:If we could just get the mayonnaise into the vodka hot sauce mix.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, but I think the whole point of it was that you needed that texture of liquid versus whatever the mayonnaise is.
Zach King:The booger swallow, it literally was just like a clump that went.
Barrett Gruber:I feel like I just swallowed it straight down.
Barrett Gruber:I don't even remember it kind of.
Zach King:It's like the weak version of, like, apparently in Alaska, you can kiss the toe in the bottle of vodka right up there.
Zach King:And then the worm in Tijuana.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Zach King:And, I don't know, chicken lips in Kentucky.
Zach King:Whatever else they do.
Zach King:Like, it's one of those.
Zach King:It's just like in Missouri, they probably drink it for fun.
Barrett Gruber:Oh.
Barrett Gruber:So to everybody.
Barrett Gruber:Everybody potentially watching us.
Zach King:No offense, Laurie.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Barrett Gruber:Lori will have to tell us whether or not she.
Barrett Gruber:She actually does the.
Zach King:You guys like mayonnaise in your beverages?
Zach King:This here sweet punch is delicious.
Zach King:If it had a little squid of.
Barrett Gruber:Mayonnaise on top, it's definitely something that should never be included.
Barrett Gruber:There should not be anything semi solid in your drink.
Barrett Gruber:I mean, ice is fine.
Zach King:But I saw this.
Zach King:I saw this video on TikTok of this girl that was obsessed with the Ninja Turtles.
Zach King:She.
Zach King:She, like, goes into debt, like, buying the movie heads and stuff like that.
Zach King:The movie heads are cool.
Zach King:That I.
Zach King:I was like, I don't know.
Zach King:I'd probably go into debt for that.
Barrett Gruber:Just kidding.
Zach King:But she also, every day had to eat a pizza and make it weird because the Ninja turtles made it weird.
Zach King:One of her pizzas that was weird was just like, she ordered, like, a deep dish and just covered the top in mayonnaise.
Zach King:No cheese.
Zach King:Like.
Zach King:Like, it had cheese and everything, but under it, she coated it just like it was just a white pizza covered in mayonnaise.
Barrett Gruber:That's just.
Barrett Gruber:That seems so unnecessary.
Barrett Gruber:Like, I get the bit.
Zach King:You try it, Right?
Zach King:It wasn't a bit.
Zach King:This girl's mentally insane.
Zach King:Like, her room is covered with Ninja Turtles.
Zach King:She dresses up like it and reenacts it on her front lawn.
Barrett Gruber:Is it flavored mayonnaise?
Barrett Gruber:Like.
Barrett Gruber:Like spicy mayonnaise?
Barrett Gruber:Mayonnaise just flat out, Duke's mayonnaise.
Barrett Gruber:I'm gonna.
Barrett Gruber:I'm gonna say no.
Barrett Gruber:I mean, I've had egg on pizza.
Barrett Gruber:I've had.
Barrett Gruber:I've had pineapple.
Zach King:All the other stuff.
Barrett Gruber:I'm trying to think.
Zach King:I would try the mayonnaise slice.
Zach King:I would take a slice of her mayonnaise covered pizza.
Zach King:I would not do Miracle Whip.
Barrett Gruber:Well, I'm not a Miracle Whip fan anyhow.
Zach King:I can't do the Miracle Whip.
Barrett Gruber:Miracle Whip is salad dressing to me, that's.
Zach King:My dad always tried to.
Zach King:Tried to trick me.
Zach King:He'd be like, Make a bologna sandwich.
Zach King:Just go ahead and put Miracle Whip on it.
Zach King:We don't need mayonnaise.
Zach King:I was like, dad, that's a sin.
Zach King:We don't do that here.
Barrett Gruber:Like, a sin.
Zach King:That's not okay.
Zach King:I'll never buy Miracle Whip.
Barrett Gruber:Well, I guess, I guess the, the question then.
Zach King:And how would you put it on?
Zach King:How would you put Miracle Whip on a salad?
Barrett Gruber:You, you make, you make salad dressing out of Miracle Whip?
Zach King:Oh, is that what it is?
Zach King:It's an ingredient or.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Zach King:Okay.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Barrett Gruber:There's no insanity is just putting flat Miracle Whip on a salad.
Zach King:On a salad.
Barrett Gruber:Oh, you've, you've crossed a line.
Zach King:Yeah.
Barrett Gruber:The people in the white coats are here to help.
Zach King:Yeah.
Zach King:I don't know.
Zach King:I still want to see the.
Zach King:What do you mix it with?
Zach King:You're just like honey mustard and Miracle Whip, I guess.
Barrett Gruber:I don't know.
Barrett Gruber:I, look, I, I, I, I'm not, I'm not the person that's going to be like, oh, we should add, we should add Miracle Whip to that.
Barrett Gruber:Those words only came out of my worth my mouth now.
Barrett Gruber:They're never going to come out of my mouth again.
Zach King:I just think the guy who created Miracle Whip was like, what if I made mayonnaise grosser?
Zach King:Tom, no.
Barrett Gruber:How could the world be wrong?
Barrett Gruber:How can I make the world more wrong here?
Barrett Gruber:I mean, we just survived.
Zach King:You know, there's orange specks in this mayonnaise.
Zach King:Ish substance.
Barrett Gruber: It's: Barrett Gruber:The world just survived the Nazi regime.
Barrett Gruber:Here's Miracle Web.
Zach King:Bill made it home after a mortar hit his helmet.
Zach King:He didn't die.
Zach King:Well, what did he do?
Zach King:He made Miracle Whip.
Barrett Gruber:Done Miracle Whip.
Zach King:I got an idea.
Zach King:No thanks, Larry.
Barrett Gruber:I just want you to know there is no support for Miracle Whip in the comments on our TikTok.
Barrett Gruber:Nobody has said anything in support of.
Barrett Gruber:Support of Miracle Whip.
Zach King:Wait, is it the inverse?
Barrett Gruber:Everyone's like, no, nobody's.
Barrett Gruber:Nobody said anything.
Barrett Gruber:There's 70 people watching out there and nobody's.
Barrett Gruber:Nobody has said anything about Miracle.
Zach King:No support of it.
Zach King:Just like voting.
Zach King:Get out here and tell your, Tell us your heartfelt thoughts on Miracle Whip.
Barrett Gruber:The things that should trend on.
Barrett Gruber:This is what I want on TikTok.
Barrett Gruber:I want miracle Whip to trend.
Zach King:One guy's like, it's okay, Lube.
Zach King:You're like, so you can.
Zach King:You don't have to follow anymore.
Barrett Gruber:Hashtag Miracle Whip.
Zach King:It helps me whip it good.
Barrett Gruber:So with TikTok potentially coming to an end, I'm curious, have you seen any of the stuff about this rednote with.
Barrett Gruber:That's an actual Chinese app available in the, in the United States.
Barrett Gruber:So I have, I have seen a lot of videos that people are posting that they are looking at the videos on, on RedNote and like they're.
Barrett Gruber:People on RedNote in China are responding to people in the United States joining their app.
Barrett Gruber:And, and it seems like it's, it's, it's taken off pretty well.
Barrett Gruber:There's a lot of people that have done it.
Barrett Gruber:They're calling themselves Tick Tock refugees.
Barrett Gruber:And some of the people that are on there are just like, oh, I'm so excited.
Barrett Gruber:There's, you know, there's Americans on here where.
Barrett Gruber:Because they're, because the Chinese version of Tick Tock versus the American US Version of Tick Tock, we don't, we don't, we don't have access to those people and they don't have access to these people.
Barrett Gruber:So it's, it, there's been a real, like, community.
Zach King:That's so weird.
Zach King:It's just like Red Note brought to you by GGPing.
Zach King:No, thanks.
Zach King:So I don't know, I don't know why they're banning TikTok and don't ban like Omegle.
Barrett Gruber:What is Omegle?
Zach King:It's like where you can like chat roulette kind of thing.
Zach King:Like where you just.
Zach King:And China can use it.
Zach King:They do use it.
Zach King:Other countries use it like dick.
Zach King:Dick.
Zach King:Dick person.
Zach King:Are you okay?
Zach King:They're like, there's their dick.
Zach King:It's, I don't know, like they're bringing Tick Tock for no reason.
Zach King:The only, the only thing I support, like, needs to be fixed is you're giving China your information.
Zach King:If you buy things off of like TikTok shop.
Barrett Gruber:Sure.
Zach King:Which it has turned into like, you know, GNN or whatever the shopping channel was.
Barrett Gruber:There are a lot of ads.
Barrett Gruber:There are a lot of ads.
Barrett Gruber:I will say this about RedNote.
Barrett Gruber:What I have seen so far on RedNote because Julie joined.
Barrett Gruber:What I have seen is there.
Barrett Gruber:There are.
Barrett Gruber:There are virtually no ads.
Barrett Gruber:There is.
Barrett Gruber:There is.
Zach King:I don't have the infrastructure for ads and to ship.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, potentially.
Barrett Gruber:But it's.
Barrett Gruber:Honestly, it's.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Barrett Gruber:And Kelly's right.
Barrett Gruber:TEMU is bad about too.
Barrett Gruber:But there's a.
Barrett Gruber:There is.
Barrett Gruber:I don't know, there's a general, genuine sense of like, community and it seems like they're so appreciative of Americans joining on RedNote and people are interacting.
Barrett Gruber:Well, look, I'm going to say this.
Barrett Gruber:If there's ever some sort of a fight or war Between China and the United States, it isn't US Citizens versus them citizens.
Barrett Gruber:It is just governments.
Barrett Gruber:I have no interest in ever seeing any harm come to the Chinese people.
Zach King:It's just like, I don't hate Russians.
Zach King:I don't hate Ukrainians.
Zach King:I don't hate the Chinese.
Zach King:I don't hate the Taiwanese, Japanese, Koreans, I definitely don't hate North Koreans.
Zach King:It's literally the people in charge can't get around on it.
Zach King:And they try to rally you to not like them as well.
Zach King:I, I think, I think we've grown as a society just to be like most of it.
Zach King:Like, not, not even most of us, but the select few of us.
Zach King:If you're watching this still is probably you included.
Zach King:People are people.
Zach King:They're.
Zach King:And literally no different than you.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Zach King:I mean, the Iranians, for instance.
Zach King:I don't.
Zach King:There's so many Iranian youths that want Western culture to be there.
Zach King:They want to wear jeans and stuff.
Zach King:They want to.
Zach King:They want the, like, the sneakers.
Zach King:But they're ran by like, you know, totalitarian regimes and shit like that.
Zach King:These countries, just like ours, isn't truly listening to us.
Barrett Gruber:Right.
Zach King:We think it is with voting, but, dude, who knows how voting works anymore?
Zach King:At the end of the day, like now, now they're saying there was issues with the Trump being elected.
Zach King:Of course, we had, we had Mr.
Zach King: ng us how Trump was robbed in: Zach King:@ the end of the day, you go, I think we've kind of gone too far with this.
Zach King:We.
Zach King:We're not hating each other, but you're making us hate each other.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Barrett Gruber:I mean, now and, and again, I think, I think that it even, even back into the 50s and 60s and 70s when, when, you know, Russia was the, the, the big, you know, or I guess the Soviet Union was the.
Zach King:Big bad, the red scare.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, it was.
Barrett Gruber:I don't think it was ever American people versus Soviet people.
Barrett Gruber:I think it was.
Barrett Gruber:It was the American government versus the Russia, the Soviet government.
Barrett Gruber:It was.
Barrett Gruber:You know, that was, that was always, that was always the way it was.
Barrett Gruber: was running the first time in: Barrett Gruber:And kudos to him for having that level of commitment, you know.
Barrett Gruber:But he said to me, he asked me, he was like, why should I hate Russia just for being Russia?
Barrett Gruber:And at the time, I said, I said, I'm not suggesting that you hate Russia.
Barrett Gruber:I'm not suggesting that you take out ads on social media project or, you know, portraying your vision of disgust over Russia.
Barrett Gruber:I have no interest in that.
Barrett Gruber:I don't think the problem's the Russians.
Barrett Gruber:I think the problem is Vladimir Putin or whoever's in charge.
Barrett Gruber:But he was like, why should I hate him?
Barrett Gruber:And I said, you shouldn't.
Barrett Gruber:He said, but if it comes down to what their.
Barrett Gruber:Honestly, for me, it's what the Russian government does to the Russian people.
Barrett Gruber:The fact that.
Barrett Gruber:What was this?
Barrett Gruber:Tucker Carlson went over to Russia to interview with Putin and he thought he had this out.
Barrett Gruber:Just amazing.
Barrett Gruber:Interview with Vladimir Putin.
Zach King:Yeah.
Zach King:Then Putin was like, what a weak ass.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Barrett Gruber:Like Putin released on his own TV networks.
Barrett Gruber:He was like.
Barrett Gruber:He was like, this is the dumbest thing I've ever done.
Barrett Gruber:Like, this is.
Barrett Gruber:This guy.
Barrett Gruber:He kissed my ass the entire time.
Barrett Gruber:Like what?
Barrett Gruber:Like what People didn't even see on the show or the Twitter episode or whatever.
Barrett Gruber:They were like.
Barrett Gruber:They were like, he.
Barrett Gruber:He basically gave me the questions ahead of time.
Barrett Gruber:He let me.
Barrett Gruber:He let me lead him down, whatever.
Barrett Gruber:And then he did a whole thing where he was walking around the grocery store.
Barrett Gruber:I was like, oh, the food's less expensive here.
Barrett Gruber:Look, this is a loaf of bread.
Zach King:Yeah.
Zach King:What.
Zach King:What an idiot.
Barrett Gruber:And I look at that and I.
Barrett Gruber:And I'm like.
Barrett Gruber:I'm like, you don't understand the fundamentals of communism.
Barrett Gruber:If you don't.
Barrett Gruber:If you can't recognize that the food there is subsidized.
Zach King:And then like, so.
Zach King:So just cognitive dissonance, big time.
Zach King:Just being like, how cheap this food is and then being like, I guess communism might work a little bit.
Zach King:These is in Russia.
Zach King:Like, dude, that's the.
Zach King:The most insane.
Zach King:And like, when I think about countries like Russia and North Korea in China, I think Russia, I think Putin, what a dick.
Zach King:I don't hate.
Zach King:I don't hate Russians.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Zach King:I think of their government.
Zach King:What a dick.
Zach King:I think of China.
Zach King:I think ggping, Winnie the Pooh, the softest damn leader they've ever had in China.
Zach King:I think North Korea and Jong.
Zach King:Illustration.
Zach King:The weakest, softest, just the softest, dumbest boy.
Zach King:Like, it's.
Zach King:It's the leaders, it's not the people.
Zach King:And I'm.
Zach King:I know that it has to be that way.
Zach King:When Australians are Chinese or the UK looks at America, I don't think they go straight to.
Zach King:All Americans are dumb.
Zach King:I think they go like, holy.
Zach King:Your leadership and your government is.
Zach King:Yeah, but I mean, that's how I see it.
Zach King:I literally do not go, how ridiculous are the English, how ridiculous are the Chinese or the North Koreans?
Zach King:Can't these North Koreans do something about their stoplight actor culture?
Zach King:Like.
Zach King:No.
Zach King:Like it's ridiculous.
Barrett Gruber:No.
Barrett Gruber:And they absolutely cannot.
Zach King:Because the threat of getting your ankles broken in a mine while breaking rocks is insane.
Barrett Gruber:If they wanted to leave the country, they can't thank.
Zach King:When the lights go out, you go inside and don't you say anything.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, yeah.
Barrett Gruber:When, when TV crews from, you know, western countries like the United States or the UK or whatever, like when they come to North Korea to like film specials or film documentaries or whatever, it's.
Barrett Gruber:It's, it's virtually like a ghost town.
Barrett Gruber:And it's like, well, when you do.
Zach King:See people that they're.
Zach King:They're state hired actors.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, yeah.
Zach King:That will not talk to the people that are there to film.
Barrett Gruber:Do you think that the level of intelligence, like, technologically in North Korea is as advanced as, say, I don't know, the United States or China or like, you know, I'm not, Not even remotely.
Zach King:I think, I think, I think the things that North Korea gets, they'll get through trade.
Zach King:But there's no, like, for instance, there's nothing a North Korean citizen looking for a better HDMI cable.
Zach King:Right.
Zach King:Like, there's not any.
Zach King:Much less.
Zach King:Are they watching anything?
Zach King:Like they would need it.
Zach King:Right.
Zach King:So they're just going to get state sponsored television.
Zach King:That's what you watch, right.
Zach King:That's what you get.
Zach King:There's no bigger, better.
Zach King:Everyone's equal on the most dismal of levels of existence.
Zach King:And there's even, like, I think like North Korea builds buildings just to build buildings and have them exist.
Zach King:Like they built.
Zach King:I think there was even supposed to be a Trump Tower in North Korea at one point.
Zach King:If I'm not, I could be wrong.
Zach King:It was either modeled after it, they, they completely stopped.
Zach King:But it's still now the tallest building in North Korea.
Zach King:It is a.
Zach King:Literally no one's ever lived there.
Zach King:There was no plans for anyone to live there.
Zach King:It's just a building to, to be part of the great caper that is North Korea.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Barrett Gruber:So Cooper had a comment.
Barrett Gruber:He said it's hard to have equal tech without the industry to support it.
Barrett Gruber:And I.
Barrett Gruber:That's true.
Barrett Gruber:I agree that you can't.
Barrett Gruber:You, especially if you don't have like advanced university, you know, universities that are teaching these advanced skills and things like that.
Barrett Gruber:So.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Zach King:You don't want your.
Zach King:North Korea is not a country that wants you to know stuff.
Zach King:And if you do, you're going to work for the government, and then you're going to shut up and do as you're told.
Zach King:There's not going to be any advancement work shopping like, all right, the rocket didn't fly as far as we wanted it to get in this room, you.
Barrett Gruber:Show up and like, where's the water cooler?
Barrett Gruber:We don't go to the water cooler here.
Zach King:Kind of like how Bob Lazar talked about working on that ufo.
Zach King:You and Bob work on the ufo.
Zach King:You're not talking to any other departments about building this rocket and how any other part works in conjunction with your part.
Zach King:Yeah, make your part good.
Zach King:That's it.
Zach King:Figure this out.
Zach King:I've seen so many videos of, like, Westerners visiting North Korea.
Zach King:And the actors, to me, is still the most insane part that the government hire, like.
Zach King:Like, let's call it hires, but gets.
Zach King:Gets people to pretend to be having a good time.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Zach King:But when the people who are there to visit come to, like, interview them and ask them about the town, the city, they'll just walk away and not talk to them.
Zach King:They.
Zach King:They went.
Zach King:I saw them go to a car dealership, and there was people looking at cars.
Zach King:They tried to talk to the people looking at cars.
Zach King:They would just walk away from them, not even talk to them.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Zach King:And they were like, these are government actors.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, that makes.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, that makes sense.
Barrett Gruber:And.
Barrett Gruber:And of course, in a.
Barrett Gruber:In a society like that, like in North Korea, that's the image you want to maintain.
Barrett Gruber:You want to.
Barrett Gruber:You want to have the image of a freedom or the ability to go out and say, you know, buy a car or go to the grocery store and pick out what you want to eat.
Barrett Gruber:But.
Barrett Gruber:But that isn't.
Barrett Gruber:If it's.
Barrett Gruber:If the cameras aren't on, that's probably not what's going on.
Zach King:So, I mean, they killed one of our citizens.
Zach King:He got arrested for.
Zach King:I can't remember what he did, but he was so malnourished by the time we got him, he died.
Zach King:He died basically, like, on the way.
Barrett Gruber:I remember something about that.
Barrett Gruber:I remember something about that sticky in.
Zach King:A camp, and you're breaking rocks until the rocks are no longer to be broken.
Zach King:Then you get another rock and you're breaking that down.
Zach King:Like, it's just.
Zach King:I don't understand.
Zach King:I.
Zach King:I think what boggles my mind is I don't understand any productivity in a system like that.
Barrett Gruber:That I can't.
Zach King:They're gonna do.
Zach King:They're gonna.
Zach King:They're gonna do everything you tell them to do.
Zach King:But, like, if they went to war with somebody, you're gonna fight the most malnourished people ever.
Zach King:Right.
Zach King:Like, they've been grinding a war machine for the most part.
Zach King:That's it.
Barrett Gruber:Cooper also just said North Korea has a TikTok account that's purely.
Barrett Gruber:I guess that is all they're showing is the, the state actors, the.
Barrett Gruber:The government actors out there doing.
Zach King:Oh, that'd be interesting.
Zach King:We gotta find that.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, I might.
Barrett Gruber:Might have to look for that.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, I guess so.
Barrett Gruber:By the time this episode airs on Monday, TikTok ban will likely be in place.
Barrett Gruber:I don't see the Supreme Court stepping in to issue a stay.
Barrett Gruber:I think there is a possibility that there is a bill that has been a bill that is being.
Barrett Gruber:That is attempting to be introduced to the floor of the House or the Senate, one of them that could potentially at least stay the ban for 160 days or 260 days or something like that.
Barrett Gruber:But I think even in that situation, all they're going to do is just keep kicking the ban down the road.
Barrett Gruber:Because this is an app that has more than 170 million Americans on it.
Barrett Gruber:There is a serious level of commerce that does take place.
Barrett Gruber:Even if I get annoyed at the number of ads that I scroll past.
Barrett Gruber:I admittedly have bought products off the TikTok shop.
Barrett Gruber:I, I absolutely have.
Barrett Gruber:I, My.
Barrett Gruber:These.
Barrett Gruber:These little.
Barrett Gruber:I'm not looking for sponsorship, not with four days left, five days left, but these, these wireless microphones that I, that I, That I use to.
Barrett Gruber:To record content with.
Barrett Gruber:I got those off the TikTok shop, like, and they're.
Zach King:They're.
Barrett Gruber:They're decent.
Barrett Gruber:I mean, they're.
Barrett Gruber:They're good enough for me.
Barrett Gruber:I bought some of the fantic stuff.
Barrett Gruber:I have fantic screwdriver and a fantic vacuum cleaner.
Barrett Gruber:Now.
Zach King:How dare you buy stuff from China.
Zach King:I don't have anything in my house made in China.
Barrett Gruber:Do not check where that microphone was made there, Zach.
Barrett Gruber:Do not look at the manufacturer on that microphone.
Zach King:I don't, I don't care if tick tock dies.
Zach King:At the end of the day, I think it's the dumbest that could possibly be litigated.
Zach King:Because at the end of the day, it's kind of like.
Zach King:I mean, we have, we have people like the Rizzler that exists, and I'm just like, tick tocks.
Zach King:Like, that's.
Zach King:Is that it?
Zach King:Like, what, what else you don't like when kids say bet and cap?
Zach King:Is that why we're like, there's no reason behind it.
Zach King:It's insane.
Zach King:We'll.
Zach King:We'll just stick to our YouTube shorts and our Facebook shorts and.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, yeah.
Barrett Gruber:Well, I'll, we'll write out.
Zach King:We'll write out TikTok.
Zach King:It'll get no support, and then our, our apps just won't work.
Zach King:Eventually.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, that's what's gon.
Zach King:You won't be able to download it.
Zach King:So if you don't have TikTok now, go ahead and download it while you still can and just ride the wave.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, I mean, that's TikTok.
Zach King:Do America a favor.
Zach King:Just never update.
Zach King:We're all going to run on the same update the entire time until we crash it.
Barrett Gruber:I think that's all you can do.
Barrett Gruber:I guess the last thing I want to talk about.
Barrett Gruber:Of course, by the time this episode comes out and everybody starts listening to it, by the way, theallaboutnothing.com is where you can find links to all of our shows as well as our social media and merchandise, and a support link where you can actually become a member of the show and participate the, the all about nothing dot com.
Barrett Gruber:The, the 20th.
Zach King:Send the all about Nothing podcast to Honolulu, Hawaii.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, we could do an episode.
Barrett Gruber:You, you guys send us to Honolulu.
Barrett Gruber:We will do.
Barrett Gruber:We'll do 10 episodes.
Zach King:Barrett will get in the shark cage and swim with a great white.
Barrett Gruber:I, I don't have any fear of that.
Barrett Gruber:For some reason, that, that, that thing doesn't, that doesn't scare me.
Barrett Gruber:I don't, I don't know why I'll.
Zach King:Be holding on to the thing.
Zach King:Just like, go, Barrett, swim.
Barrett Gruber:I'm wearing chain mail.
Barrett Gruber: th, as of whatever time,: Barrett Gruber:And I don't want to speculate on what the potential negatives are.
Barrett Gruber:What I want is for us to try and come up with a few positives that could potentially come from Donald Trump being.
Barrett Gruber:When Donald Trump's inaugurated as president.
Zach King:A positive.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Barrett Gruber:Can you come up with a positive while you come up with a pot?
Barrett Gruber:It's kind of like, it's kind of like when the waitress comes over to the table and, and, and we think everybody's ready to order, but it's going to be a lot of.
Barrett Gruber:Can you come back to me in like, two minutes?
Barrett Gruber:I, I'll, I'll order.
Zach King:Would that be, like, weird?
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, I, I, some comments.
Barrett Gruber:Gator aunt says she's got nothing.
Barrett Gruber:Uh, nothing.
Barrett Gruber:Got nothing.
Barrett Gruber:I'm Trying to think of some positives.
Barrett Gruber:I think if.
Barrett Gruber:I guess if I put a lot of thought into it, I think there's the potential that a Donald Trump presidency, at least within.
Barrett Gruber:That's a good point.
Barrett Gruber:Okay, so silky McGilke, he said that maybe Donald Trump will let felons vote.
Barrett Gruber:And.
Barrett Gruber:Okay, so that is something legitimately I feel inclined to agree with.
Barrett Gruber:If you have committed a felony, you have served your time, you are now out of prison, you're out on parole, not out on parole, but you have served your time, you have repaid society.
Barrett Gruber:I think you should be allowed the right to vote.
Barrett Gruber:Absolutely.
Barrett Gruber:Fair enough.
Barrett Gruber:You have a job, you're paying taxes, you have a right to vote who it is that's representing how those taxes are being dispersed.
Zach King:Fair enough.
Zach King:So I'll give a little humanity, humanity back to those who, yeah, serve their time.
Zach King:I think the one positive I can start out with is the jokes are going to write themselves.
Zach King:Oh, I feel at this point, I mean, he's not president yet, and he's already tried to buy Canada and Iceland, so.
Zach King:And rename the Gulf of Mexico Gulf of Amer, because that's what we care about.
Zach King:Gulf of America called the Gulf of Piss.
Zach King:I don't care how long.
Barrett Gruber:How long do you think?
Barrett Gruber:So Donald Trump will be entering his presidency with the lowest approval rate of any incoming president.
Barrett Gruber:I want to say, I think the last thing I saw was, like, it was 32%.
Barrett Gruber:He's the first president to ever be inaugurated.
Barrett Gruber:One is a convicted felon, two with approval ratings, sub 40.
Barrett Gruber:Like, this is the first president to ever do that.
Barrett Gruber:When Biden came in, he was.
Barrett Gruber:He was like mid-40s.
Barrett Gruber:Clinton came in, he was in mid-40s.
Barrett Gruber:Like Obama was.
Barrett Gruber:Was in the 50s, upper-50s.
Zach King:You know, I look forward to eggs being basically free.
Zach King:Right.
Zach King:Not supposed to happen.
Barrett Gruber:Why?
Barrett Gruber:Why?
Barrett Gruber:Well, I am.
Barrett Gruber:I am genuinely curious as to why is it that that's the one thing people go to, like, how many eggs are.
Barrett Gruber:And don't get me wrong, I don't know.
Zach King:Since I was a kid, I think my mom has always gone like, Jesus Christ brought us eggs $2.15.
Barrett Gruber:It is, it is an anecdote that people go to a lot of the time, you know, but like, I get.
Zach King:Eggs for free, so that's.
Barrett Gruber:Oh, do you want to.
Barrett Gruber:Do you want to do a little shout out for your sister's farm?
Zach King:Yeah, go to Dos Farms, get you some not free eggs.
Barrett Gruber:Dos Farms, Chapin, South Carolina.
Barrett Gruber:Or is they in Little Mountain?
Zach King:Little Mountain.
Barrett Gruber:Little Mountain, Little Mountain.
Barrett Gruber:South Carolina, Dos Farms.
Zach King:My sister.
Zach King:My sister has gives me free eggs, and so does my in laws.
Zach King:They have chickens, and I get free eggs there.
Zach King:I got more eggs than I know what to do with.
Zach King:I'm gonna start a monopoly.
Barrett Gruber:Ask for Shelby at Doss Farms in Little Mountain, South Carolina.
Zach King:I got so many eggs, I'll throw them at Donald Trump during the inauguration.
Barrett Gruber:Ooh, careful.
Zach King:Come at me.
Zach King:Eggs ain't that bad.
Zach King:Get a chicken.
Zach King:Yeah, I don't know.
Barrett Gruber:The price of milk isn't very expensive right now that I can think of.
Barrett Gruber:And I say that because, for some reason, my kids go through this thing where they'll drink a whole lot of milk all at once, and we run out of a gallon of milk in less than a week.
Barrett Gruber:And then we have a gallon of milk sit there for two weeks unopened.
Zach King:Tell me about it.
Zach King:I think that we need to stop the gas shit.
Zach King:That happens.
Zach King:You got the plus price.
Zach King:Like, not.
Zach King:I'm not talking about the grades of gas.
Zach King:You have your credit card price, your cash price, and if you use a debit card, that counts as neither.
Zach King:You just pay the credit price.
Barrett Gruber:That's fair.
Zach King:Them that used to be illegal, do it again.
Barrett Gruber:That's fair.
Zach King:Put it back.
Zach King:If Trump could do that, just give him a third turn.
Barrett Gruber:Look, I fully.
Barrett Gruber:I.
Barrett Gruber:I have fully acknowledged my bug guy was here today.
Barrett Gruber:Lamps Pest Control here in Lexington, South Carolina.
Barrett Gruber:Check him out.
Barrett Gruber:He didn't know I was going to do that.
Barrett Gruber:I didn't know.
Zach King:Some guy named Lance, it wasn't.
Barrett Gruber:His name's Rick Lamp.
Barrett Gruber:Lamp Pest Control, Lexington, South Carolina.
Zach King:Let's shine some light on these bugs.
Barrett Gruber:Yes, he's good.
Barrett Gruber:He comes every quarter.
Barrett Gruber:He does his.
Barrett Gruber:He does his thing.
Barrett Gruber:If we have an issue, he's in.
Zach King:Every corner of your house.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, that's right.
Barrett Gruber:That's the.
Zach King:I don't know what to tell you, Barrett.
Zach King:They just don't like it.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, but.
Barrett Gruber:And.
Barrett Gruber:But I told him today.
Barrett Gruber:We were talking.
Barrett Gruber:We were talking a little politics before he left, but I told him today, look, if Donald Trump accomplishes the things that I think that are important that he has promised, whether it's gas prices going down, if it's grocery prices going down, if he ends the war in Ukraine, if he ends the war, if he somehow negotiates the end of the war in Israel, I will be the first one to come on here and say, kudos.
Barrett Gruber:This is.
Barrett Gruber:This is what he said he was going to do, and he did it.
Barrett Gruber:I'm not holding my breath.
Barrett Gruber:You know, same.
Barrett Gruber:Same as I wouldn't hold my breath if Kamala Harris had promised the same thing and got elected.
Barrett Gruber:I'm not going to hold my breath, because while I want her to succeed, I want Donald Trump to succeed, too, because I don't want to see any, anyone in the country get harmed.
Zach King:No, I don't want a clown running it.
Zach King:Let's say he has a stroke that reverses him and he becomes a presidential savant.
Zach King:I would enjoy it.
Zach King:It's not going to happen.
Barrett Gruber:Right?
Zach King:We already did this, y'all.
Zach King:He's the most incompetent you've ever seen.
Zach King:Any, like, round two is going to be number two of anything.
Zach King:Has not been better than the first one.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah.
Barrett Gruber:My fear is that there are no more adults in the room.
Barrett Gruber:That is, you know, Pete Hessian out there.
Barrett Gruber:You can't even admit that if you ever hit a woman that that could potentially disqualify you from a public office that requires Senate confirmation, that, you know, there are allegations, they may be unfounded, but there are women that have gone on the record that he has put their hand on them, and to me, that's disqualifying.
Zach King:Yeah.
Zach King:He's gonna stock it with people who, who now, like, have seen what staffers have had to deal with and staffers that came out and had things to say about it.
Zach King:And now he's gonna have staffers that will just take it the entire time and not come out and be like, that was bad.
Zach King:So now you have bona fide psychopaths backing him up if he says KFC needs to go to the moon, like, he'd be like this after.
Zach King:Yep, that's right.
Zach King:Getting asked on the phone, Donald Trump wants a KFC on the men so the aliens can have good country cooking, all 11 herbs and spices, like, the most insane shit.
Zach King:He's going to have the most insane people now backing him up.
Barrett Gruber:I, I, I don't know.
Zach King:I think the most surprising thing is if we buy fucking Iceland, I would be like, of course.
Zach King:Greenland.
Zach King:Yeah.
Zach King:I'd be like, of course it happened this time.
Barrett Gruber:Well, according, according to surveys done by people that live in Greenland, that, that they, they, they don't want to be part of the United States.
Barrett Gruber:They're very happy with their universal health care.
Barrett Gruber:They're very.
Zach King:That's not what Trump Jr.
Zach King:Said when he went there for his podcast.
Barrett Gruber:Yeah, I saw, I saw some of the stuff from Donald Trump Jr.
Barrett Gruber:Look, and nothing against the Trump name or anything like that, but in all honesty, If Donald Trump Jr.
Barrett Gruber:Says it, I tend to believe that There probably needs to be maybe a finite, at least amount of research into some of the things he says, and I think people are going to be disappointed that like him, that support him, that they're going to be disappointed in how factually incorrect he is.
Zach King:Does Greenland have volcanoes?
Barrett Gruber:I.
Barrett Gruber:I am not aware of volcanoes in Greenland.
Barrett Gruber:I'm aware of.
Barrett Gruber:I don't think so.
Zach King:That'd be nice because we could convince Trump Jr.
Zach King:There's a cocaine mine at the bottom of the volcano and he can land his helicopter and film his podcast down there.
