I recently started to re-embrace English football and my beloved Arsenal for the first time since Covid. I had completely stopped watching because of what cunts all pro sports organizations were regarding Covid and vaccines. But yous twos disrespect of @npub16djxdyd6t… has me questioning myself. An American badass like our boy @npub1luwkteu2e… would never disrespect such a hard working man like Jordan. Fucking Brits!!!🖕🖕🖕🔫🔫🔫🇺🇸➕🇨🇦🟰🥇🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🟰💩

I used to drink a lot years ago. Then I was sober for a while and not sleeping much, so then I started smoking a ton of weed. But recently I cut down a lot to try to save my lungs 😂. There’s nothing wrong with munchies, you just need to stock up on healthy snacks like beef jerky, trail mix and fruits. Weed and 🍄are the key to sanity and prosperity of the soul!

Would be nice if Dexter didn’t keep saying I “think I remember “ before going into something that didn’t happen. Obviously smart guy but like take a few minutes to get facts strait before doing a podcast.

43:45 - the JFK speech you reference was about communism. People often misrepresent it as about the deep state or bank cartel. It isn’t about that, in context it’s 100% about communism. Can we not misrepresent this stuff please. BOOST!

The fact even reasonable people like this guest mostly sounds to be, are still acting like Gold VS Bitcoin is a thing worth talking is foolish. Gold is a ally not a enemy.
geneeverettFeb 7, 2026

One of the more reasonable guests, but ignoring the previous cycles as just random they all match up is silly. No 60K is not bottom. 46K is coming. & no not going to zero. He said same thing about going below 25K in 2022 and we went down another 40% or so, we always overdo it and we will see 50K break.

U guys discuss the files, but don’t even read them and spend 20 minutes speculating. If ur finna discuss , how about spending time actually doing some research, if we wanted moronic speculation, we could talk to our friends. Podcast we expect more then this dumb show
geneeverettFeb 6, 2026

We are in the bear part of cycle, we aren’t bottoming here, we will bottom close to 40K, we always do , last time was 15K, from 69K, how can u seriously say we are close to bottoming only 4 months out from cycle high? We will bottom let’s 2026 or 2027. Stop pretending the 4 year cycle died, it didn’t
