Hello from Baehr and Curadh, a podcast from the Land of Awes Information Services.
I love you, Curadh.
I love you, Baehr.
This is episode 162 of the Baehr and Curadh podcast.
We're going to talk about bolligation.
Bolligation.
That's a big word.
Mm-hmm.
Hmm.
Okay.
We have been uploading episodes of the podcast to YouTube.
There's some interesting statistics about that.
The number of our episodes that have been viewed is 318.
Obviously, some of them have been viewed more than once.
The number of people who have viewed an episode for more than three minutes is zero.
So, they're not into it.
The average time people watch an episode is 48 seconds.
Yes.
So, you've been watching for 48 seconds.
So, I guess the point is if you're going to have ads, have it in the first 48 seconds.
Mm-hmm.
So?
We're never going to have ads, though.
No, never.
No one's ever going to pay us to do this.
Ha ha ha.
Which is fine.
We do it for fun.
So, the goal, I guess, was to get a little bit more exposure.
So, we've had 318 exposures.
Mm-hmm.
But nobody's interested.
That's okay.
Like I said, we do it for fun, for our own fun.
Mm-hmm.
So, if a few people listen and like it, then that's all we're here for.
And the whole project of mine to convert these audio files into video files with images that
rotate and stuff.
That was pretty much the fun part.
Mm-hmm.
Actually, doing it is kind of boring.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Well, there we go.
Yeah, I knew Google was big about the statistics and stuff like that because we get them for
work because we do Google reviews.
Mm-hmm.
And the worst one about sending out reviews because they can tell you how many times you
send out links for the reviews and all that stuff.
And I manage to do it about once a month.
Ha ha ha.
So, I get it talking to about once every three months.
Ha ha ha.
I get it talking to about once every three months about how I should remedy that and
fix it and whatever.
And they pay you to do that?
Who?
Google?
No.
Your company.
My boss wants me to do it.
I just never do it.
If people want to complain about me or give me a good review, they'll figure a way to
do it.
I'm not going to lead them to it.
I don't know.
I mean, it's bad.
Or they could just stand in front of you and say, you suck.
Well, that happens all the time.
Mm-hmm.
So.
All right.
Here we go.
I'm sure that the national news media will obsessively.
Say, cover the murder of every podcaster like this.
Fox News says that Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin lived with his transgendered partner.
Bureau officials confirmed that Tyler Robinson was a romantic partnership with an unnamed
person who is a male transitioning to a female, and they share an apartment in St. George,
Utah.
Those FBI officials told Fox Digital.
News that Robinson's partner is fully cooperating with the FBI investigation.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Leave it to Fox to come up with that.
Oh, of course.
Yeah.
Well.
This complete obsession about this guy who's just a podcaster.
Mm-hmm.
Charlie Kirk.
Uh.
Hate monger.
Are they going to cover us like this?
No.
24 hours a day?
No.
They're not covering.
They didn't cover the four kids.
The thing is, four kids that got shot in Denver that day.
Yeah.
In a school.
The same day.
They didn't care about that.
You know, worry about the podcaster that speeches hate and, you know, he's a misogynistic, homophobic
hate monger.
But let's praise him like a saint.
But let's not worry about the kids that died at school, you know, gun violence at schools.
I think there's a Bible quote.
At least I think it's from the Bible.
You reap what you sow.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I mean, he's, you know.
And now he's a martyr.
Oh, yeah.
And it doesn't help that the president's making him feel that way.
You're making him feel that way.
Giving him a medal.
Yeah.
It kind of looks like his wife is going to continue the legacy.
It was only a few hours before she made a press appearance.
Oh, of course.
Yeah.
And this whole, he, but he's exactly what the right wants.
He's an evangelical, hardcore.
Martyr.
But he's nothing but hate.
Yeah.
And I'm sure another one will.
Oh, yeah.
There's a million of them out there.
That's why he was so popular.
There's so many people who fall in line with his thinking.
So, yeah.
He makes me nauseous.
So, I mean, I don't even want to see anybody get killed, but people die every day.
There is a woman who, I think she's also a podcaster.
She talked about how he was fear-mongering and everything, and he targeted her on his podcast
and told his followers to follow him.
Mm-hmm.
And the college phone system went down because so many people were calling, telling her to
be fired and stuff.
Wow.
Yeah.
He's a piece of crap.
And right now, the Pentagon is firing soldiers who say anything bad about him.
Really?
The Pentagon.
This is out of line.
Mm-hmm.
This is out of line completely.
Wow.
Fascism at its best.
Yes.
Seriously.
That's what it is.
So, yeah.
He's, yeah.
I got nothing nice to say about the guy at all.
I feel, I don't feel bad for his wife.
I guess our PR line's going to get buzzed now because you just said that.
That's fine.
You know, I don't feel bad for his wife.
She's part of the circus.
I feel bad for his kids because I think his kids are innocent bystanders.
The kids shouldn't have to see their father be murdered like that.
But, you know, he didn't feel-
It probably wasn't a quick death, though.
No, it was a quick death.
Because it was through his throat.
It wasn't through his brain.
But they said it's spinal.
It probably severed his spinal cord.
Oh.
The way that he flipped it up.
Yeah.
They said, yeah, he didn't feel a thing.
They said he was dead before he even hit the ground.
Mm-hmm.
But you know what?
You know what?
I bet you those kids that die alone on the school floor hoping that their parents were
somewhere around didn't die as quickly as he did.
Mm-hmm.
So, you know, if people want to-
Oh, poor guy.
Think about those poor kids that die of school violence all the time.
Yeah.
You know, but it's-
Like he said, it's worth fighting for the Second Amendment when a few people die.
You know, that's the cost of people-
Seems appropriate, doesn't it?
Yeah.
Well, let's stop talking about that piece of-
Okay.
DRG waives firearms restrictions for transgender Americans after a Minnesota church shooting.
Hmm.
Let's pursue that line of thought.
Since the vast majority of those performing mass shootings-
Are heterosexual, we should ban heterosexuals from owning guns.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
It won't work, though, obviously.
The hypocrisy's too thick.
And even though the NRA's been discredited and is bankrupt, they still have this power somehow.
Yeah.
Well, they're in everybody's pocket.
How can they be when they're bankrupt?
Look, if the president-
How does that power keep-
Look how many times he's filed bankruptcy.
It's true.
You know, there's ways around it.
And he gets these million-dollar judgments against him, and the Supreme Court says,
Oh, you don't have to enforce that.
You don't have to pay that.
Yeah.
Exactly.
They're going to say the same thing to me.
So, yeah, it's-
But it's all about hypocrisy.
It won't work.
But no, it's a good thought.
All right.
Then stop being evil.
Donald Trump is one of the most-
He is once again invoking religion in his fundraising appeals.
Sending an email once again with the subject line,
I want to try to get to heaven.
So, stop being evil.
Yeah, that would probably be the number one.
And what does he need to fundraise for, anyway?
Isn't he supposed to be a successful billionaire?
Yeah.
But why spend your own money if you can spend someone else's?
You got all these people out there, these sheep that'll blindly give you money for anything and anything.
And so, he can buy a ticket to heaven.
Yeah.
Well, he thinks so.
So, I don't know.
I'm surprised he actually believes in heaven, you know.
Probably because he's too afraid to go to hell.
He'll believe whatever people want him to believe to keep him successful.
Yeah, that's true.
I mean, his money went into buying the presidency.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
God, he's sickening.
There was a customer that came in yesterday.
We get what we deserve.
Like, yeah.
There was a customer that came in yesterday wearing a MAGA hat.
Mm-hmm.
I was a white kid.
Dumber than a box of rocks.
Just dumb.
And I just didn't even make eye contact with him.
I just helped him and let him on his way.
He tried to make small talk, and I was about as short as short could be.
So, yep.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Not even have a good day.
Nothing.
Just here's your stuff back.
Bye.
Mm-hmm.
I'm not going to stoop.
I can't muster the will to...
Not even worth the anger.
Yeah.
And it's, yeah, just looking at him, I'm like, I feel sorry for your pathetic soul.
But, yeah.
I guess probably the best thing we can do is pity them.
Yeah.
Well, they think they're pitying us, so.
Mm-hmm.
But, oh, well.
All right.
I'll bet he does.
In a bizarre...
In a bizarre and inflammatory segment of the Tucker Carlson Show,
conservative commentator once again casts doubt on the sexuality
of former U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg,
questioning the legitimacy of the openly gay politician's identity
and suggesting he would ask him very specific questions about gay sex.
What?
What the F, really?
Really?
Have you noticed that Republicans think more about gay sex than we do?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
And why do they care?
Do they want to see gay sex?
I mean...
I think so.
I mean, that's what it sounds like.
I mean...
And what are these very specific questions about gay sex that he's wondering about?
There's a hole, and there's a penis.
Figure it out.
Garner's going to do it.
You remember those kids at the toy?
Yeah, they put the circle.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Come on, now.
But, yeah.
Well, Tucker Carlson's an idiot anyway, so...
I thought he went away and would never come back, but...
I was commenting this morning.
Pete was on the...
The Needs to Press.
And he has a beard.
Mm-hmm.
Most politicians won't have beards because they think they might lose votes for having a beard
because I don't know that...
Harvey...
Harvey Milk shaved his beard because of that.
He said, if I lost even one vote because of it, I'll get rid of it.
Hmm.
But Pete Buttigieg is now sporting one, and I think it's to make him look older
so, he doesn't look so much like the guy from Mad Magazine.
I knew you were going to say that.
What's it?
Harvey...
Harvey Wallbanger?
Something Newfield.
Yeah, anyway, the...
Yeah.
I think he wants to look more presidential.
Mm-hmm.
That would make sense.
I think he...
I think he will end up being the Democratic nominee for the next president.
You don't think he'll win, though, do you?
Do you think America's ready for a gay president?
I mean, they weren't ready for a black woman.
Yeah.
I don't know.
We can all know.
I mean, you shouldn't have to think that way, but...
But we have to.
You can't just keep losing all the time.
I don't know.
I wish...
I would like to say that the world, that the U.S. is ready for it, but I'm afraid it's not.
And he is.
He's a sharp, sharp man.
He's...
He's what the Republican Party's afraid of.
He really is.
I mean, they...
He knows...
It kind of makes me wonder why they keep going after transgendered people.
Gay ought to be at the top of their agenda just to get rid of him.
Yeah.
Because he's their biggest threat.
Yeah, but I think there's so many gay people now that people are...
Yeah.
You know...
Everybody knows a gay person now.
Yeah, everybody does.
Whereas a transgender...
Mm-hmm.
Not as common.
Not everyone's going to know one.
Where they're going to be endeared to them and feel like they need to help them with their rights.
So, you know, we go for the ultimate of minority that you can take advantage of.
So...
And it looks like the Supreme Court is going to listen to what's-her-name, the clerk that went to jail for not giving a license.
And I don't know.
If the Supreme Court nullifies our marriage, will there be a backlash?
Will people care?
I think so.
I would hope so.
But I've been disappointed in the past.
You know what I mean?
Mm-hmm.
And I don't know.
They just seem to do whatever they're told to do.
Yeah.
Without question.
Which is not what the Supreme Court's supposed to be about.
They're supposed to be about...
Figuring out...
Justice and following the law no matter where it goes.
Yeah.
But, you know, that's not how it works.
Not these days.
No.
Not anymore.
Hmm.
All right.
Trump wants to stay in power permanently.
And martial law is how he's going to do it.
Donald Trump signed an executive order to rebrand the Department of Defense as the Department of War.
A callback to the department's original name used from 1789 to 1947.
Martial law.
Yep.
That's when the military police take over.
And you know who he's going to make the marshal?
Him.
Yeah.
It's happening.
Mm-hmm.
Slowly but surely, it's happening.
And why is there no outrage?
I mean, maybe there is, but we're not hearing it.
Yeah.
The media doesn't cover it.
They're afraid of him.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's scary, though, isn't it?
I mean, it's funny.
Every day we see him stepping a little closer to fascism.
And nobody seems to be raising the alarm.
He's slowly but surely doing it.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, he's only been in office, what, six months?
Something like that.
No.
Nine months.
Something like that.
Doesn't matter.
But yeah.
He's got three more years of this.
So, you can imagine what he does in those next three years.
At the rate he's going, I mean, yeah.
Yeah.
We'll be in World War III, or we'll have a full-blown...
Raise the alarm, people.
Yeah.
Wake up.
It's crazy.
It's sickening, actually.
Mm-hmm.
So, I mean, well, it was good while it lasted.
Yeah.
Democracy.
We've got a little over 200 years of democracy.
And that seems to be the limit.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
I think time will show.
History has presented itself that way anyway.
Trump liked being a Hitler.
Free D.C., free Palestine, the activists chanted before calling Trump the Hitler of our time.
As they chanted, the president walked up and smiled at one of the women recording the confrontation on her phone.
Hmm.
So, he liked being called Hitler.
Well, it's...
He's been compared to one of his heroes, apparently.
Right.
I mean, don't mark my words.
I don't know if he's ever actually said that, but I bet you he's come out of his mouth a few
times in private.
Somebody probably said, well, he was successful for quite a while.
Why don't you do that?
Yeah.
Follow the playbook.
Sickening.
And mainly by othering a group of people.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I would think he wanted to...
The transgendered are the Jews of the Second World War.
Yeah.
A small percentage, yeah.
Mm-hmm.
It's scary.
It's so, so, so, so, so scary.
I mean, it makes you nauseous, almost.
And I keep thinking, every generation thinks that things are the worst.
Mm-hmm.
So, you know, humans still are around.
Mm-hmm.
But how are we going to recover from this?
It's going to take years, if we do.
Because, I mean, we got people...
Think how long it took to recover from the Second World War.
Oh, years.
Decades.
Yeah.
And then the repercussions from the Cold War.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, that lasted until the 90s.
I think that was just the war machine trying to justify their existence.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
That's fair.
I don't know.
It's scary, though, isn't it?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Was that all for this week?
That's it.
You got a joke for us?
Yep.
What do we get?
If a debater gets his master degree, does that make him a masturbator?
Masturbator.
Yeah.
I guess it would, wouldn't it?
You're a turd.
You didn't even get to the end of my joke.
Because I knew it.
Because you spelled it out for me.
All right.
