We're just oversized children...and it's ok!

WEBVTT
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:05.120
What I have may not amount to a hill of beans, but this is my hill, and these are my beans.
00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:06.080
Welcome back.
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:13.519
You are tuned into Implicit Bias Radio, the only show that tells you what you're thinking before you've even had the misfortune of thinking it.
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:20.800
I am your host, Kavon Bordelon, and on this episode of Implicit Bias Radio, we are talking about the architects of disaster.
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:24.640
We are talking about the people who don't just trip over their own feet.
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:33.920
They actually spend the whole afternoon turning staircases into slip and slides of pure malice so people can launch themselves into a wood chipper like a human torpedo.
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.240
We've all been there, haven't we?
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:52.880
We've all known that one person who swears a three-hour tour is just a little boat ride, right up until the weather starts getting rough, the tiny ship is tossed, and you're stranded on an uncharted desert isle, questioning why you'd be that moron's first mate in the first place.
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:55.759
It's unfortunately serious stuff.
00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:00.880
To fully understand the gravity of it, we actually have to go to the blueprint.
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:03.520
Matthew 18:3, King James Version.
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:11.519
Except ye become as little children and receive the kingdom of God as little children, ye shall not enter into it.
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:18.799
Look, this is not a green light for us to become like children, start eating glue sticks or pitching a tantrum in the middle of a target.
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:19.200
No.
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:21.920
It's about the state of who we actually are.
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.560
That beautiful, terrifying vulnerability.
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:32.000
To be like a child is to be dependent and trust that the adults in the room actually know where the exits are.
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:35.359
We're hardwired actually for trust, if you think about it.
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:37.760
It's how we learn, it's how we survive.
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:43.200
Without it, we'd still be staring at a wall, wondering if fire was just another government psyop.
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:50.480
But that trust can unfortunately also be our greatest strength and our greatest weakness.
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:56.400
And in the hands of a sociopath, that trust becomes a loaded weapon pointed at everyone else.
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:00.560
Which brings us to the real meat of that lesson in the good book.
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:03.840
Matthew 18, six, that doesn't mess around.
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:13.439
And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:24.240
A millstone, not a parking ticket, not a strongly worded letter to the manager from Karen, a giant rock around the neck, and a one-way trip to the ocean floor.
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:25.680
Why?
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:40.800
Because taking a trusting person and steering them toward ruin, whether it's a cult, a pyramid scheme, peddling essential oils or something that smells like regret, a can't miss tip on a three-legged horse, it's the purest form of betrayal.
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:49.520
The person who does evil alone is really just a cliche, a garden variety predator operating out of a damp basement with a ring light.
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:57.520
But the one who recruits, the one who turns other people's faith into a guided tour of hell, that's the apex predator.
00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:59.280
That's the architect.
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:12.479
It's pure ace ventura energy, total commitment, zero self-awareness, you know, talking to the animals while the whole operation is on fire, then looking you dead in the eye and saying, Alrighty then.
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.719
He lets everyone else think Finkel isn't Einhorn.
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.479
These people are the human equivalent of a 1987 hair metal power ballad.
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:29.919
They come at you in full spandex, screaming about Forever in Destiny, making you feel like you're part of some grand epic.
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:42.240
Then you wake up and realize that your Satanist girlfriend bought a t-shirt from your favorite band, meaning there's a hundred percent chance of the band breaking up and you're just gonna be a bad wedding singer for the rest of your life.
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:49.039
They don't just steal your hopes and dreams, they steal the ability to trust the next person who comes along with a map.
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:50.479
Think about it.
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:52.960
If I steal your wallet, I'm a thief.
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:54.000
Boring.
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.960
Maybe I make the police blotter for, oh, five minutes.
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:08.639
But if I convince you that your wallet is actually a spiritual anchor and you need to hand it over so I can cleanse its energy for the benefit of your ancestors, now, now we're talking.
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:11.120
Now, I'm not just a thief, right?
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.560
I'm rewriting your reality while I empty your pockets.
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:16.639
It's the ultimate long con.
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:18.639
Full airplane absurdity.
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:20.399
Shirley, you can't be serious.
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:22.800
I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:33.519
These people walk around with a permanent half smile, casting themselves as the hero of the story while they're the malware, quietly corrupting everyone else's operating system.
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:40.959
And here's the truth the most dangerous person on the planet isn't the one who tells you to be faithful.
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:49.279
It's the one who hands out the cups, smiles, and convinces everyone that they're doing God's will when they actually drink the Kool-Aid.
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.360
So as you go about your week, stay open.
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:55.920
Be like children, as the world says.
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:04.879
But for the love of all that is holy, please check the credentials of the boat captain and maybe figure out why the howls would be on a boat with such riff-raff anyway.
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:11.600
If someone starts talking about a shortcut that requires your social security number and a photo of your cat, remember the millstone.
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:12.959
Remember the beans.
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.279
This is implicit bias.
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:16.319
Stay skeptical.
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:17.360
Stay weird.
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.399
Don't trust anyone selling you a shortcut with a smile.
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:23.839
And remember, these are your beans, and that's your hill.
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.040
Welcome back to Implicit Bias Radio.
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.639
Now, for our regular listeners, I know this is a bit of a curveball.
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:32.480
We've got some reasoning behind it, to be honest.
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:33.360
The reasoning doesn't matter.
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:33.680
Why?
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:34.480
Because we felt like it.
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:35.519
It's our implicit bias.
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:38.079
We're going to change the way the show runs down this week.
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:44.160
We are going to do our weekly whiskey segment in just a moment, but right now I'm going to introduce you to the crew who's here right now in the Mr.
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:55.199
Lester's top secret podcast layer because there's some important stuff that be happening next week in Lafayette, Louisiana, when we actually do the show like two days later, and we want to make sure we touch on it.
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:57.839
Let me start with the rustic renegade Caleb Morse.
00:05:57.920 --> 00:05:59.040
It's great to have you back, Caleb.
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:00.240
Great for us to be in the Mr.
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:01.439
Lester's T SPL.
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:04.319
I guess this is the original, and that's the TSPL South.
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.439
Look, you know, I thoroughly enjoy being here.
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:08.879
It's not as nice.
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:09.839
Oh, God, no.
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.000
I mean, I'm just gonna say it.
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:13.759
We're not the cigar lounge at Mr.
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:14.399
Lester's.
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.360
I wish this was a recreation of that.
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:18.079
It would be fantastic.
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.800
Eventually, eventually we'll be sitting here smoking cigars.
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:21.360
One day.
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:21.759
Yeah.
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:22.560
One day.
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.360
Keep holding your breath until then, just because you never held.
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:26.639
But one day it'll happen.
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.399
All right, let's go to the bar where we have back with us who could not make it last week.
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.959
Big a bed of diamonds, filles, Grant Galottis, William S.
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:34.000
NA called jewelers.
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.639
He is also known as KB because he's from Kenne, bro.
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:38.319
Yeah, the chairs at Mr.
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:40.480
Lester's are a lot better than what we got working here.
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:42.879
Okay, I look, I don't necessarily know about that.
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:43.920
Look, I'm picking at you.
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:45.120
No, that big chair.
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:46.720
No, no, they're more comfortable.
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:47.839
But that big chair at Mr.
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:51.839
Lester's, I mean, I I feel like a kid sitting in an adult chair again.
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:52.800
You look like a kid.
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:59.360
I I was setting that up for you, and I was gonna see if our new audio board operator for this week would actually catch that.
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:01.040
But yeah, I I know, I I do.
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.079
Like I looked at it and I was like, I hate the way I sit in that chair.
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.279
I look like me, which unfortunately you have to watch.
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:08.319
So I apologize for that.
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:13.519
Always good to be back, uh, especially when you've got 128 plus proof and Caleb's port.
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:17.120
Yeah, we are gonna talk about the weekly whiskey in just a moment.
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:23.600
When I introduce you to the last member of the crew here for this segment, he is Andrew Ward of the Acadian of Veteran Alliance.
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:24.480
It is great to have you back.
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:25.040
Hey, bud.
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.319
I I thought uh it had been a while since I thought that I'd bombed the last time.
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:30.000
It had been a while since you uh had me back.
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:31.360
Dude, no, okay, understand.
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:31.920
So thanks.
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:32.800
You're always welcome.
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:33.120
Okay.
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:33.759
Just stay in touch.
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:35.040
I'll just hang outside the front.
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:39.120
We occasionally get out of touch and we don't get a chance to always talk back and forth.
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:44.720
We normally reconnect for implicit birthday, which we didn't do this year just because of the way things worked out.
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:45.839
No apologies needed.
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:47.360
And I get a chance to see my board member.
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:48.160
I never see my buddy.
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:49.199
Caleb is on our board.
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:49.920
No, no, no, no.
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:51.040
He's on the board.
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:51.920
There is, there is.
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:52.639
But he's not there.
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:54.560
No, no, he's always there in spirit.
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:55.199
In spirit.
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:55.759
Okay.
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:56.079
Yep.
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:56.639
Thanks, buddy.
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:59.920
But I know he's there in spirit because usually he's the one pouring the weekly whiskey.
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.480
And he wants everybody to be in the spirit.
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:09.920
Okay, so we need to talk about Acadian and Veteran Alliance, what you guys have going on, and what's so important that I'm like, yeah, we're going to rearrange the show to talk about this.
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:11.439
That's very, very kind of you.
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:13.040
There are, oh, no, it's not.
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:14.800
It's just what we need to do because it's the right thing to do.
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:15.199
Thanks.
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:27.920
So when we think about Acadiana Veteran Veteran Alliance, for those who don't know, your mission is to help veterans assimilate back into the workforce, back into life from PTSD.
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:28.639
It's all of the above.
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:29.759
It's all of the above.
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.639
It's, it's, you know, we always say we don't say thank you for your service.
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:33.600
We act on it, you know?
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.440
And so for us, it's action.
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.039
So what do the veterans need, right?
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.840
Like for Caleb and I, in our our demographic, do we need career advancement?
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:43.440
Do we need PTSD help?
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:45.360
Do we need whatever that is?
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:47.120
We kind of mold it to fit.
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:52.000
But then now we're seeing a younger demographic, like my son, who just got back from a one-year deployment to Kenya.
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:52.480
Thank you for the first time.
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.240
For the Army National Guard.
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.720
And now he's 23 years old and he's a veteran.
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:01.279
And so what is the 23-year-olds that just came back from Kenya and Djibouti and Kosovo?
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:02.240
What are they going to need?
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:04.159
They're not going to need the same things we're going to need.
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:05.600
So we're going to adapt it to them.
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:08.879
Yeah, there's there's a lot of organizations doing amazing work out there.
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:12.720
But for us, like I feel good about what we're doing for Acadia and the veterans that we have here.
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.360
So and when you look at is my mic on?
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:17.759
No, he's he's got to bring that level up just a bit.
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:26.720
And when you look at throughout history, right, as we go through indifferent conflicts and everything else, a lot of the organizations that exist today, the veteran organizations, didn't adapt.
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:27.600
They didn't grow.
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:35.759
When people got back from Vietnam or they got back from Korea or they got back from Saudi Arabia and all the other conflicts, they didn't change.
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:39.200
They were like, well, we've been this way since World War I, since World War II.
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:40.559
And why change now?
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:45.600
And what we see is the exodus of people by attrition alone.
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:50.399
Not many veterans my age or our age, Andrew, are members of the VFW anymore.
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:50.720
Why?
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:52.480
Because their halls are so thin.
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:54.080
Not that they're bad at a bad organization.
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:57.759
They're still a great organization, but they lack the recruiting because they didn't adapt.
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.360
Well, and for those that aren't feeling that, then we have our socials once a month.
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:03.360
And they come there and they're like, I was just looking for a place.
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.279
And even internally, like so the organization's been around six years since 2020.
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:10.480
And in the beginning, we had unemployment as one of our big keys.
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:14.000
But then right away, we were like, you know what, there's not a lot of veterans that are unemployed.
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:15.120
They're just underemployed.
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:20.159
They cannot use their skills to the best of their ability and they don't realize that they have and that companies want them.
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:21.759
So we changed it to underemployment.
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:29.360
And then last year we were like, well, we're just missing out on the entrepreneurials uh spirit of these people that maybe want to start their own company, like Caleb and Rustic, right?
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:31.440
So we're gonna start mission launch.
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:37.679
And so now we do twice a year a six-week entrepreneur program that myself and Chris Wickman on our board designed.
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.679
And we've had startups in oil and gas and healthcare and all these different industries.
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.960
So we understand the failures, the successes, how to how to go about taking it from zero to one.
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:49.279
And that just gives them another avenue to work with us.
00:10:49.519 --> 00:11:02.720
So if you're talking PTSD help, sometimes that is what the ganglion shots, it can be it can be the ganglion block shots, it can be there are so I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you since the last time I came, we we've integrated our model.
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:04.559
So what we were doing was in silos.
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:10.240
And so what we decided to do was A, introduce a telehealth counseling piece.
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:18.960
So now if you're a veteran, you come to AVA, if you want to have our counselors, and it can be from the comfort of your own home, we will pay for 12 sessions for you.
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:20.480
You're not out of pocket at all.
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:21.200
We will pay for that.
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:28.159
If you want to get the stellar ganglion block, which reduces hyperarousal, reduces PTSD in conjunction with, we pay for that too.
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:33.200
And here's the kicker: when we were just doing the shot, we had an 82% success rate.
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:42.960
Now we've had 15 veterans that go with the shot up front and the counseling after, and we're tracking them, right, consistently with questionnaires and all the things.
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:43.759
100%.
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:52.480
100% reduction from where they were to where they are now, because what we find is that the shot is like the primer and the counseling is the paint.
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:54.879
So and and from someone who's taken the shot, right?
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:55.519
Me too.
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:56.000
Me too.
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:58.320
First and foremost, I'm still very aroused.
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:01.919
I'll let you make all the bad jokes in the segment, Caitlin.
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:08.240
But so secondly, from uh from someone who's who's done the the the block, I didn't realize I had anxiety.
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:12.720
You know, I have a PTSD diagnosis, TBI, all the other stuff, you know, all the fun acronyms.
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:15.679
Um and I didn't know I had anxiety.
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:23.360
And within a few days after the shot, I sat down and wept in my backyard because I finally knew what it meant to be meant to be content, uh, content with myself.
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:27.360
And then I had to realize and learn what it meant to feel emotions.
00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:40.799
Because as a man who who shelved those emotions, as a veteran who didn't have time for those emotions, all of a sudden I was like, well, this is what joy feels like, this is what being content feels like, this is what sadness with depression.
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.440
And it was it was a really big awakening.
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:56.720
And to tell you that before I was on the board, the VA uh AVA, I did this, so and to tell you the help that I got from it and the self-revelation, and to have someone sit there and walk me through the process was ridiculous.
00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:57.279
It was amazing.
00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:58.799
Now that's that's why we do what we do.
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:00.639
All these things cost money.
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:01.039
Yeah.
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:03.679
I mean, it it takes money to do this for veterans.
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:11.440
And believe it or not, our government that is funding seemingly everything else, doesn't necessarily fund all of this.
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:12.240
So they don't.
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:13.919
You have to have fundraisers throughout the year.
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:14.320
We do.
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:15.840
You guys have a big event coming up.
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:16.960
Can you tell us about the event?
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:17.440
I can.
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:25.440
Just to give you an idea, per veteran, if they're gonna go ahead and have the shot and they're gonna go ahead and through with the 12 counseling sessions, that's$3,000 per veteran if they go all the way through.
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:27.519
So imagine a hundred come to us.
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:28.639
That's a good amount of money.
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:28.879
Yeah.
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:29.360
Right.
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:32.159
So throughout the year, we have different fundraisers.
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.320
We're having one for the first time we've never done before.
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:37.120
So we've had the buy you bourbon bash for the past five years.
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:39.919
We've done other things, but we always wanted to have a gala.
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:47.039
But I always said I didn't want it to be stuffy because veterans do not want to get, I mean, you know, we don't, it's it's just not our style, I guess.
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:52.080
So we went and walked out the new Cajun Field Stadium Club space, the McGillag Club.
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:52.320
Yep.
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:54.159
Beautiful new addition on the west side.
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:59.039
So we walked and they have this gigantic open area overlooking the Cajun Dome, overlooking the area.
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:02.320
And so we rented it out on August 20th, next Thursday.
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:03.600
We still have tickets available.
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:05.919
We still have a few tables, but we're almost sold out.
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:11.279
But we're flying in Congressional Medal of Honor winner Gary Latrell from California to be one of our keynote speakers.
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:11.759
Cool.
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:12.480
Amazing man.
00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:17.440
Look him up, Gary Lattrell, Vietnam era, four days, North Vietnamese on top of him.
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:21.759
Not only did he take over his battalion, but he was conducting the South Vietnamese to help.
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:24.000
And it was just an unbelievable guy, right?
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:24.879
The original G.I.
00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:25.440
Joe guy.
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:25.840
Yeah.
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:27.200
So he's coming in.
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:33.360
We're gonna have a big live auction with huge hunting and fishing and sports packages and things.
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.480
I'll even give a little uh, so everybody knows Charlie Daniels.
00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:36.720
Yeah.
00:14:36.879 --> 00:14:38.399
Everybody knows the Devil Went Down to Georgia.
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:38.720
Yes.
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:43.759
I've got one of only 30 in existence handwritten lyrics to Devil Went Down to Georgia signed by Charlie Daniels.
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:44.159
Wow.
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:45.120
I got one of those.
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.879
So we're gonna have some things that nobody's ever seen before, right?
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:52.960
So it's gonna be steak, it's gonna be shrimp and grits, it's gonna be an open bar.
00:14:53.120 --> 00:15:00.000
So for us, we wanted to invest our money into the community because we want to thank them for the support we've received over these six years.
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:04.720
But at the same time, we're calling it boots, brews, and bros because we just want to have a guy's night out.
00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:05.679
Now, ladies are welcome.
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:06.879
I think it's some feedback.
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:09.919
And I actually got that from my wife, from some ladies in my circle.
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:10.159
Yeah.
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:13.919
It's like if I do a boots, brews, and bros, am I gonna am I misogynist?
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:16.159
And they were like, no, no, no, no, it's fine, it's good.
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:17.200
You know, ladies are welcome.
00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:18.080
It's gonna come.
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:18.720
Absolutely.
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:24.159
Well, you know, what I find that's uh they they just lose the fact that women actually like men.
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:26.639
Wait, real women actually like men.
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:27.759
And the fair idea, you know.
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:32.960
We actually got this idea from a friend of mine, the Big Brothers, Big Sisters gang, they do this thing called wine women and shoes.
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:34.639
And it's been this staple for years.
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:41.440
And I was like, I asked uh their their ED, I was like, if we do a male version of that, uh and she was like, You're all good, go for it.
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:43.519
So we're gonna do that August 20th.
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:44.639
Where can people get tickets?
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:45.440
Eventbrite.
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:54.480
So if they search Acadiana Veteran Alliance on Eventbrite, if they search Boots, Brews, and Bros on Acadiana Veteran Alliance, if they go to our website, there's an events tab on there.
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:56.080
So all of the above, they can find it.
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:56.720
Outstanding.
00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:59.600
So look, you want an opportunity to support veterans in Acadiana?
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:00.639
This is a great way to do it.
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:06.720
Not only support them, whether it's mentally, physiologically, economically, this is just a great way for us all to put that together.
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:08.399
Andrew, we appreciate you coming on with us.
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:08.799
Cheers.
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:12.240
We look forward to seeing the events, see how it goes and the great success it's gonna be.
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:14.960
Come right back for more Implicit Bias Radio.
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.879
Now it is weekly whiskey time on Implicit Bias Radio.
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:20.399
I'm your host, Kavan Bordelon.
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:21.279
Welcome back into the Mr.
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:22.960
Lester's Top Secret Podcast layer.
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:27.679
So if you are watching the podcast, you can see kind of what the Mr.
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:34.320
Lester's TSPL, top secret podcast layer for the uninitiated, maybe our friends in New Orleans on WGNO Plus.
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:45.919
We're located somewhere in downtown Lafayette, Louisiana, because we don't exactly want people knowing that we are sitting around having pores and discussing topics that would get us canceled in 2019 very quickly.
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:47.039
What, Caleb?
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:51.200
Uh it's valid, but I mean, I think people know our vehicles by this point in time.
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:55.919
Although I Well, with the amount of flock cameras that they've got around Louisiana, they probably do.
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:56.399
Oh, yeah.
00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:58.159
That's a whole different discussion.
00:16:58.399 --> 00:16:58.639
Yes.
00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:15.039
And which we actually talked about, which by the way, it would be terrible if people like covered themselves so their skin wasn't even visible in clothing and they were using reciprocating saws with a diamond tip blade or the sharpened blade that would also be wrapped in bags.
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:17.920
It would be terrible if people did that and then was cutting down the poles.
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:18.480
It'd be horrific.
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:19.839
It only happened a little while.
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:21.359
You know, is what happened twice this week.
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:22.400
Something like that.
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:26.559
But yeah, that's that's terrible that people would do that just to protect their own privacy.
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:27.519
Yeah.
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:29.279
All right, that's a rabbit hole.
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:30.319
We went down very quickly.
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:34.559
We're now gonna jump out of the rabbit hole and to the bar where we've got Grant Galatis of William S.N.A.
00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:37.200
called Jewelers, as we introduced you to in segment two.
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:39.839
Grant, you seem to be enjoying this weekly whiskey.
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:40.640
Absolutely.
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:43.359
Four Roses always has just such wonderful offers.
00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:44.000
I love it.
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:53.359
I actually went to uh the low restaurant uh social again after you and I went uh with the wives and had an old fashioned made by Four Roses.
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:54.480
It was actually really good.
00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:58.000
But uh usually something like this with a little heavier proof, you won't do that with.
00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:02.799
Oh no, see, I actually would love something like this really with alcohol in an old fashioned point two.
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:06.640
Yes, and here's why: because the alcohol stands up to the sweet.
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:08.880
You don't get too much sweet.
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:21.920
Now, especially if you're making it with a Siro de Saison, the official mixer of implicit bias radio, because when you do, you get that depth of flavor as opposed to just that watery sweet that a lot of old fashions create that just seems to disappoint.
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:23.519
Yeah, I always thought it's a lazy bartender.
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:24.160
That's what it is.
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:25.200
It's a lazy bartender.
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:30.480
I always thought you wanted to be between 98 and 100 and some change for your for your old fashions.
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:32.720
Well, I mean it just depends on the individual whiskey as well.
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:34.799
Depends on depends on how short the skirt is.
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:37.519
Anyway, let's go ahead and go to the other man at the bar.
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:53.839
That is Chris Richard of Champines and Abbeyville, who brings us this weekly whiskey this week, which, as Grant kind of let the cat out of the bag here, is a four roses single barrel pick at 128.4 proof.
00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:55.759
10128.2.
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:57.279
128.2.
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:01.759
I couldn't quite see and couldn't quite remember, but 128.2 on this pick.
00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:05.599
So, Chris, tell us how you guys got to this pick and why this particular barrel.
00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:09.200
Well, who doesn't love a good four roses pick anyway, right?
00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:12.559
Um, this is some some good juice in the bottle here.
00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:21.920
Um, like we said, coming in at 128.2 with the OBSQ um mash bill on there, recipe on there.
00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:26.240
Um, you're getting some rye out of it, you're getting a little floral out of it.
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:29.440
Um, somebody mentioned something about roses earlier.
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:34.640
Um, it's definitely well worth uh the drink on it.
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:41.279
Yeah, that would that would be Caleb that mentioned something flowery because uh apparently he needed something for no, I'm not going there.
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:48.079
Anyway, it was something about you know that hygiene product that he needed.
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:52.640
Anyway, let's let's talk about this one because it is just that delicious.
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:59.359
So, Caleb, you and I both savored this before we put a couple drops of water and whiskey, our proofing water into this.
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:04.319
My initial taste on this was exactly what I've gotten out of.
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:12.799
I think the highest proof four roses product I'd had coming into tonight when we recorded this episode was like 110.
00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:15.920
So this goes way beyond everything else.
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:18.880
You just don't typically see a lot of really high-proof four roses.
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:27.039
No, and at this, at this alcohol content, I don't think I've ever seen a bottle on the shelf of four roses that had it this high.
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:28.480
I I that's what I'm saying.
00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:31.599
I I don't think I've ever seen one, much less tasted one.
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:37.039
And I've even had what the four roses, the big one they charge$200 for the the something selection.
00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:38.880
You know the one I'm talking about, the signature.
00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:42.559
But I mean, I I've had that one, was underimpressed with that for the price.
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:49.519
Now, what I find really interesting is though, this begins to follow that before I put a couple drops of water and whiskey in it.
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:54.000
Because I'm sitting there tasting it and I'm like, man, I get a lot of spice.
00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:57.519
I got a ton of spice on the front end of this.
00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:09.839
To the point where I was like, it doesn't drink hot, it doesn't drink like 128, but it certainly does let me know that I don't know what the percentage of rye is in the mash bill, but it's rye forward, in my opinion.
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:10.720
35.
00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:14.079
So it classifies as a high rye bourbon.
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:18.079
So what 51 corn at a minimum, 35 on the rye.
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:21.839
So I mean 70, 70 corn, 35 rye.
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:24.079
So 105 on the mash bill?
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:24.960
No, I'm sorry.
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:26.079
No, no, okay.
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:27.039
Math is a thing.
00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:28.319
We try to do it every now and then.
00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:29.039
That's what the One.
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:30.000
But some but somewhere around there.
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:31.119
It's actually 60 corn.
00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:33.359
60 corn, 35 rye, and then yeah, filled in.
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:40.160
So you get that guaranteed high rye taste on it that you would expect from a four roses.
00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:42.799
What I loved is just a couple of drops of water.
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:50.720
Really opened it up, and it it nuanced the edge on it, and it softened that edge just a bit.
00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:53.519
It really rounded out the caramel in this for me.
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:58.640
It gave me those beautiful start to get floral notes, and those baking spices really started to jump out.
00:21:58.960 --> 00:21:59.599
I'm curious.
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:04.319
As to kind of what grant you got from this when you tasted it at the bar.
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:07.599
I mean, what notes did you bring out in this and what do you like about this?
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:09.119
No, that's that's a perfect description.
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:22.319
I'm just surprised that it's such a high rise, such a high proof, and it wasn't more peppery that it wasn't such an overwhelming, just a a really because usually the the close to 130 proof that especially with a high rye, it's gonna, it's gonna hit you and hit you hard.
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:28.559
I'm I'm a little concerned actually, because usually those really kind of put me off a little bit and made me sit up in my chair.
00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:36.640
But I guess if you drink enough of them and you become a you know, become a closer to a brown or a black belt with this stuff, uh I should not bother you.
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:40.799
But uh just oh my god, just the the flavors were nice before the water.
00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:44.640
You added the water, like you said, it rounded out the caramel, and caramel is where I like to be.
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:49.039
So this is just a just a nice, roundabout, wonderful drink.
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:50.079
All right, Caleb.
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:55.039
So now it's time for us to find out what notes you pick up in this and where you pick them up from.
00:22:55.200 --> 00:23:00.720
Because for those who are new on WGNO Plus, you will learn that Caleb Morse is the nose that knows.
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:11.119
Not only does he have a nose for the aroma coming out of the glass, his descriptions, and I hate to give him credit, they are asinine, but they are always spot on.
00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:20.319
It is a great juxtaposition of how crazy you can get a tasting note and how accurate it can be, Caleb.
00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:22.880
Well, you know, I liken Mind and Memories, right?
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:32.079
And when I smelled this, the first smell I got, my grandmother had these large red roses that she had sweetheart roses, and next to those were these large red roses.
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:35.279
And I was trying to look up all these different rose breeds because I'm not a roseologist.
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:36.160
I made that word up.
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:36.799
Shocker.
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:37.279
Yeah.
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:38.640
And uh I was like, what are they?
00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:39.039
What were they?
00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:42.720
And I can't tell you what they were, but they were the large, beautiful, deep, deep red rose petals.
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:44.480
I bet you do know something about roses, though.
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:45.920
They get a little thorny.
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:52.480
I was gonna say, I'm sure that you just look at roses and go, I don't know anything about them, but these are fabulous.
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:53.519
Fabulous.
00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:55.839
I get the rose petal smell.
00:23:55.920 --> 00:23:59.119
Speaking of rose petals, they stain clothing and sheets, by the way.
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:07.519
But I get the rose petal smell on the aroma, followed by like this beautiful, rich, like clove honeysuckle.
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:07.759
Yes.
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:09.440
Like you get that honeysuckle right there.
00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:13.200
Then, not caramel, I get cooked brown sugar.
00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:13.680
Okay.
00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:15.119
That's what I get on the nose.
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:20.559
On the palate, dark leather, like wet, good, full-grain leather.
00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:22.799
That's what I get on the palate first out of the way.
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:24.640
Then I get overriped plum.
00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:29.119
Like, you know, when you go buy a plum, it's or you have a plum at the house and it sits too long, it gets real dark, and it's almost too soft.
00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:29.920
No, I really don't.
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:30.559
Well, anyway.
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:32.400
I forget about my fruits sometimes.
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:34.559
I get that overly riped plum.
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:41.119
So you get that deep, deep, dark fruit flavor to there, uh, followed by that kick of rye spice.
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:46.079
And then it finishes up with this deep, dark, cooked brown sugar.
00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:48.160
It's so pleasant, so pleasing.
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:54.960
When I put the water and whiskey in it and I softened it up, I lost things that I liked and I gained things that I liked.
00:24:55.279 --> 00:25:00.559
I'm I'm very con I'm I'm very torn between it because I lost the aggressiveness that I was like, ooh, this is where it's at.
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:05.200
I lost that ethanol burn, the alcohol on it, but it rounded out the flavors so well.
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:13.519
And I brought that overripe plum back to that beautiful, that beautiful reddish, like almost purple plum when it's perfect time to eat it.
00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:19.920
And then I was able to get that beautiful fruit flavor in the middle of that of the glass, and it just made it so pleasurable.
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:25.440
Now, see, I didn't necessarily get plum prune a little there, right?
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:27.759
But I mean, you're still talking about a stone fruit, right?
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:31.359
You're talking the same type of profile, and I can absolutely see that.
00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:36.319
So, yeah, I I absolutely understand kind of what you're saying and what you're putting down, and I think it's spot on.
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:41.599
What I find really interesting is the couple drops of water.
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:44.799
They're gonna bring the proof down just a little.
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:47.200
But man, it's not much.
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:48.960
This proof, it's not much.
00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:51.599
And talk about I think this was the great call out.
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:56.000
While it took some things away, it brought forth so much more.
00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:57.599
It accentuates so much.
00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:00.880
And you know, you can't the water does what it does.
00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:05.279
You can't tell it or think beforehand, hey, this is gonna bring out more of this flavor.
00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:14.319
It's always a big surprise what flavor comes forward, what it brings out, and what it rounds out, because you really don't know what it's going to do until it's in the glass.
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:15.039
Agreed.
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:16.319
Absolutely agreed.
00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:23.039
Okay, so it's time for us to wait, rate this on the Morse whiskey rating code, which means that we have to rate it as a red.
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:24.880
I wouldn't drink it even if it was free.
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:27.440
A yellow, I would only drink it if it was free.
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:30.799
A green, I would buy this, or a blue, I would seek this out.
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:40.319
And then we are going to play for the what would you pay championship belt chain presented by Box Drop of Lafayette, which for the uninitiated, it's just closest to the number.
00:26:40.480 --> 00:27:02.640
Whoever comes up with what's closest to the number, but what typically happens, and what we really like to see in playing the game is this it's who comes in at a price significantly higher than the price that it is offered from implicit bias, liquor collective member, Champagne's market in Abbeville, because man, these are these are fantastic bottles.
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:04.240
This one's gonna throw me for a loop, too.
00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:08.319
So this one, so this one aged 10 and a half years because that's always a question.
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:15.039
Grant likes to follow the the year per dollar rule, which makes sense, right?
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:18.160
Because it's a great way to start measuring price a lot of times.
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:20.400
Remember, single barrel store pick.
00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:22.480
So I'm I'm curious as to where that lands.
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:23.440
So let's do this.
00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:31.200
Obviously, Chris cannot play because Chris is going to rate it a blue because he picked it, and he knows exactly what the price is.
00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:33.759
So I love these weeks when I get to play.
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:36.000
So I'm gonna go first as I push the bottle over to Caleb.
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:40.559
So, first of all, on my rating, this is a blue.
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:43.759
And here's why this is a blue for me.
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:51.599
This is an obtainable, and I don't want to say the flavor profile is the same because it's not.
00:27:51.920 --> 00:28:03.519
But this is an obtainable 128 that reminds me of something you might get in a bottle of George Stag, something that you're gonna get at some of these really higher end dollar amounts, right?
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:05.200
That's what this reminds me of.
00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:11.039
It is that refined, it is that beautiful, it's that sweet and savory at the same time.
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:14.400
It brings that level of craftsmanship to the whiskey.
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:15.920
So this to me is a blue.
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:17.599
Now, what would I pay?
00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:18.240
Man.
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:26.960
So, Grant, I'm like you, I go, okay, so for every year in the barrel, typically the rule is about$10, which means 10 and a half.
00:28:27.119 --> 00:28:29.680
Call it what, you know, 115.
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:40.240
I I'm I'm gonna go probably even a little higher because I've had bottles at 140, 150, 160 that drink this way.
00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:45.519
So for me, it's an easy 125 as a round number.
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:50.960
125 on this bottle all day, every day, I would pay that for this bottle.
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:52.960
I think it fits in perfectly.
00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:53.920
So that's my rating.
00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:55.359
A blue and 125.
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:58.400
Grant, where are you rating this on the Morse whiskey rating code?
00:28:58.480 --> 00:28:59.279
And what would you pay?
00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:00.720
Uh also a blue.
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:13.200
Uh, it's a nice chameleon effect to where it can have so many flavors so nicely done at 128 and welcoming uh a high awry, but not overly powerful or peppery, well-disguised 128.
00:29:13.359 --> 00:29:17.359
And then you add the water to it and it just morphed and into something a little more pleasurable.
00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:18.559
So very well done.
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:19.599
Definitely a blue.
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:23.200
Uh you said they had a bottle before at Fort Roses that was like$200.
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:27.920
So I'm thinking they may price their stuff that they enjoy themselves kind of high.
00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:29.440
So I'm gonna go like$149.
00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:30.480
$149.
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:31.039
Okay.
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:32.559
All right, Caleb.
00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:33.279
Sorry, Caleb.
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:34.720
I must have hit his number.
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:37.200
Oh, I was$150, is where I've been the whole time.
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:38.960
I'm like$150,$150.
00:29:39.039 --> 00:29:40.160
No one say it.
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:41.599
I'll go.
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:43.440
I'm gonna go a dollar over you.
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:44.240
Go right ahead, bro.
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:46.160
So$150 is where I had my okay.
00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:48.240
Like, this is just a phenomenal.
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:49.359
It's a blue.
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:50.880
This is a phenomenal pour.
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:55.200
Uh, there is lesser juice that sells for more than$150.
00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:56.000
Absolutely.
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:58.400
And I think that's the that's the big takeaway.
00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:00.160
Now, here's the fun part.
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:03.440
A normal bottle of the OBSQ.
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:03.759
Yeah.
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:05.359
You know what it runs, Grant?
00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:06.480
Nope.
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:07.359
$50?
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:08.079
Yeah.
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:10.000
It's in the$50 range.
00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:15.519
So this, but now the the normal OBSQ single barrel is not usually a 10-year, it's not a cast strength.
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:26.079
So it's not necessarily what this is, which is why I have a feeling I know who's gonna wear the belt chain.
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:27.039
Caleb.
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:28.640
No, I I don't.
00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:34.880
I don't, I I think I think because I am the lowest number out there on the bid, and we're gonna let Chris tell us.
00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:38.240
So, Chris, first of all, you would you would put this as a unanimous blue, I I take it.
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:40.079
Oh, absolutely a blue for me.
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:41.759
Uh, I just uh I love it.
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:45.519
Uh I get a little coffee on the back end at the very end of it all.
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:49.599
Um, I just I think it's it's good stuff.
00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:54.559
Uh as far as the the price goes, we're coming in at 93.99.
00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:55.920
93.99.
00:30:56.000 --> 00:30:56.160
Yeah.
00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:00.079
I uh right around 100, 110, 120 I figured.
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:00.720
Yeah, no.
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:13.359
Grant's gonna love passing the what would you pay championship belt chain to me just so he can get back at me having to wear it for the rest of the show, which I will wear and I will not complain about like a female, like some people would on this show.
00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:14.960
Look, I took a lash.
00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:16.400
I know you did, and that's quite all right.
00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:21.440
So I will wear the what would you pay championship belt chain presented by Box Drop because I was closest on this one.
00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:23.519
I went$125, it's$99.99.
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:23.920
Oh, yeah.
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:24.720
Is that what you stick with?
00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:25.440
$93.99.
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:30.000
$93.99 for this bottle, which is a fantastic buy at that price.
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:35.200
Only available at Implicit Bias Liquor Collective member Champines in Abbeville.
00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:36.799
Fantastic for roses.
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:37.839
Stick around.
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:47.759
We've got another guest checking in here in the TSPL, and we'll tell you the special at the TSPL South for the rest of August on this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio.
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:51.759
Final segment of hour one of this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio.
00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:53.279
I am your host, Kavan Bordelon.
00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:54.079
Welcome into the Mr.
00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:55.279
Lester's Top Secret Podcast.
00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:57.440
Larry and Caleb, we have to talk about.
00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:00.079
We have to talk about the special at Mr.
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:01.519
Lester Steakhouse.
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:02.720
That flight.
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:11.359
I mean, it it might be as dumb as the people who actually believe that another 3 a.m.
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:13.599
vote drop in Wisconsin was on the up and up.
00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:15.519
Look, it's it's plausible.
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:17.359
Is it possible?
00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:18.559
It is possible.
00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:20.799
What's the probability?
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:21.759
Slim.
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:28.160
Just like just like they sometimes when Chef Willie does these kind of things, he shouldn't drink.
00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:35.599
No, and look, the possibility of getting this special somewhere else, I I mean, so I guess it is possible because Mr.
00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:37.119
Lester's does make it possible.
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:40.799
This is just that dumb, but this is dumb in a good way.
00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:42.000
So here's the special.
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:42.960
If you go to Mr.
00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:49.519
Lester's in the month of August, ask him for the special flight for the month.
00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:55.440
It is going to be a three-pour flight, a pour of E.H.
00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:58.319
Taylor small batch, a pour of E.H.
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:01.119
Taylor rye, and a pour of E.H.
00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:08.160
Taylor single barrel, uncut, unfiltered for a grand total of$25.
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:09.599
$25, yes.
00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:14.480
And look, the rye and the single barrel uncut, unfiltered are amazing.
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:19.039
Like that uncut, unfiltered, if you haven't had it before, that is what it should be.
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:21.279
Oh, yeah, that's one of my all-time favorites.
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:22.799
At least they're consistent.
00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:26.079
I mean, the light's ridiculous, but it's it's chum in the water.
00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:31.119
It it will get you to come nosing around because it's it's so good and so obnoxiously priced.
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:32.720
You it's something you cannot refuse.
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:38.720
Yeah, but when you say obnoxious, you mean like like like old school rap, like not bad, meaning bad, but bad, meaning good, like run DMC.
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:40.160
Yeah, okay.
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:42.799
Oh, don't tell me you don't remember run DMC.
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:44.640
Not bad, meaning bad, but bad, meaning good.
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:45.920
It's it's enticing, you know.
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:52.880
It's it is it's when you it's when you've had a rough day and your wife sends you a text and she goes, Hey, bought lingerie today, might try it on later.
00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:54.079
You're like, I guess I gotta rub.
00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:54.559
Show them.
00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:56.640
Same thing with this.
00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:58.400
It's a flight you want to be on, trust me.
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:02.000
Speaking, speaking of that vein, we do have a new guest here in the Mr.
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:03.680
Lester's top secret podcast layer.
00:34:03.839 --> 00:34:05.759
He is here to keep us Catholic and keep us Christian.
00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:07.279
He is Father Taj Glaude.
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:08.639
Father, it's good to have you back.
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:10.400
First of all, thanks for coming in.
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:12.960
It's been a little while since you've been with us on Implicit Bias Radio.
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:14.079
Yes, it has been.
00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:15.039
We've missed you.
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:17.360
Hopefully, you have missed us, and we love the white vestments.
00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:17.840
Always.
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:18.480
Well, thank you.
00:34:18.639 --> 00:34:20.559
Don't worry, they did not make me Pope.
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:33.519
You know, I'm gonna argue if they had made you Pope, Father, things might be going a little bit better because there are some things, and actually, the topic that we're gonna jump into in this segment I know you would not be happy about.
00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:35.599
Oh, flattery will get you everywhere.
00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:46.480
So here's the the the topic, and it's one of the reasons why I waited until you came on to have this conversation, but it also happened within the last week.
00:34:46.960 --> 00:35:02.719
The state of Massachusetts signed a law that and I don't think I'm mistaken here, I will double check it, but I believe it makes abortion legal up until 40 weeks.
00:35:02.960 --> 00:35:03.760
For zero.
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:10.239
By the way, full gestation for a human being in its mother's womb is 36 weeks.
00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:14.960
That's considered full term, which means 40 weeks isn't just abortion.
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:18.159
40 weeks is straight up murder.
00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:19.760
Thoughts.
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:22.159
I mean, you want do you want me to argue against that?
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:25.679
I I know I'm curious as to they they first of all, they sign the law.
00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:26.000
Yeah.
00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:27.519
That's bad enough.
00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:30.559
Uh not everyone in my family agrees with me.
00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:30.880
Okay.
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:31.599
And that's okay.
00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:34.400
Yeah, it's I I love my family, love other people.
00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:38.639
I mean, whether we agree or disagree is irrelevant to the fact that humankind deserves to be loved.
00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:41.360
And one of the things we don't agree on is abortion.
00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:49.119
And I was having a discussion with some family members years ago about my stance on abortion and the fact that I don't think it should be legal.
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:50.880
And we went round and round talking about it.
00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:54.559
I was like, well, I don't think taxpayers should pay for abortion, right?
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:55.360
That's number one.
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:55.760
Yeah.
00:35:55.840 --> 00:36:02.239
I don't think the taxpayers, if you want to get that done and you believe all this other stuff or whatever, right, yeah, I shouldn't have to foot the bill.
00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:04.000
How about this is a basic principle?
00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:05.519
I don't get to tell you what to believe.
00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:10.079
You don't get to tell me what to believe, which means you can't tell me that I have to pay for what you believe.
00:36:10.400 --> 00:36:12.960
Well, and we shouldn't be creating different classes based upon sex.
00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:13.440
Agreed.
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:18.719
If a woman has my body and my choice, then as a man, you should be able to say, I'm not paying for that.
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:19.679
Correct.
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:20.800
And then guess what?
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:22.639
No child support, no this, no that.
00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:26.159
If you wanted to have it and he didn't, it it's a two-way street.
00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:28.320
It can't be more biased one way or another.
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:32.480
Uh, but some of my family members having this discussion, they were like, Well, what when would you allow it?
00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:35.119
I'm like, well, maybe whenever there's a rape or whenever there's this or that.
00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:39.119
They said, Well, now you're making the grievances for when it's okay.
00:36:39.199 --> 00:36:40.000
It's either okay or it's not.
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:42.480
I was like, Well, if it's okay or not, then it's not okay.
00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:46.559
If you want a definitive line in stone, not in sand and stone, then abortion's not okay.
00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:47.679
And I disagree with it.
00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:51.440
Here's what bothered me more than anything about the signing.
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:52.639
They had a party.
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:53.840
Oh, they were excited.
00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:58.960
I mean, if you watch some of the reactions of the people at this signing.
00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:05.519
So, first of all, the governor of Massachusetts is Catholic, allegedly.
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:08.960
Catholic in name only.
00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:19.280
So, Father, when you say Catholic in name only, my understanding to be a Catholic is that there are some core things I have to believe.
00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:23.679
One of them is life begins at conception.
00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:27.119
Natural birth to natural death.
00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:27.920
Absolutely.
00:37:28.159 --> 00:37:28.559
Right?
00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:31.679
So there's no in between there.
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:35.280
You don't get to, you don't get to say, oh, well, it's not viable outside of the mother.
00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:39.519
Well, so what you're saying that a person needs help to survive, we should be able to kill that person.
00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:42.960
Then we can do the same with the elderly because they might need help, right?
00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:49.039
Or we can do the same with a five-year-old because a five-year-old left to themselves is gonna die without a parent, right?
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:49.840
Correct.
00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:57.440
So when you start to walk down those arguments, they just don't hold up to say, oh, this should be my body, my choice.
00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:00.480
This should be all these other things, or it's not human.
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:04.480
This straight up should be natural conception to natural death, correct?
00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:05.519
Correct.
00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:11.360
And there is no such thing as a cafeteria Catholic.
00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:12.559
Mark my words.
00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:14.960
You're either Catholic or you're not.
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:15.920
Simple as that.
00:38:17.199 --> 00:38:18.960
The worst thing you can hear is depart from me.
00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:20.320
I never knew you, right?
00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:32.480
And if you have no conviction for your faith and you're willing to bow down over these over these major things because it's not public uh politically correct or publicly favorable, then you have no faith.
00:38:32.719 --> 00:38:38.239
Well, and think about the monologue where we talked about the verses from Matthew, right?
00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:42.880
He who harms a child, he who leads a child to sin.
00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:44.480
I mean, think about this.
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:50.880
That is literally the ending of a life that cannot defend itself.
00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:53.599
This is why, you know, people say men shouldn't have a conversation.
00:38:53.679 --> 00:39:05.760
Oh no, men absolutely have a conversation here, because that doesn't need to happen without a man, which is why men have a stake in this, because that that is who we are by God ordained to defend.
00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:29.199
And therein lies the big issue when you have these people who are literally so ecstatic that they have to hide their mouth in their hands because they're so overjoyed that now the state of Massachusetts says it's legal to terminate the life of a 40-week-old child.
00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:33.440
Well, and just look at it from a non-spiritual point of view, right?
00:39:33.599 --> 00:39:38.239
If you want to look at abortion and abortion clinics, Planned Parenthood and everything else, for what they really are.
00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:40.000
Well, let's talk about what they really are.
00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:41.199
Where do they put them?
00:39:41.440 --> 00:39:44.559
What neighborhoods have the most abortion clinics?
00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:46.960
Black and Hispanic neighborhoods.
00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:48.400
And why were they put there?
00:39:48.639 --> 00:39:53.599
Because that was Margaret Sanger's intention to exterminate black people.
00:39:54.239 --> 00:39:55.679
And Hispanics fall into that too.
00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:57.599
And it curbs the welfare system.
00:39:57.840 --> 00:39:59.840
And she said it in the letter to Clifford.
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:01.280
Margaret Sanger, yes, absolutely.
00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:05.119
We don't want them to get out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.
00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:08.559
That's where they focus, that's where they push them, that's where they try to get them.
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:16.000
And it is it is a racist organization, and abortion itself is rooted in hatred of other races and individuals and individual people.
00:40:16.239 --> 00:40:17.599
It's this rotten core.
00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:27.760
I once heard a pastor talk to me about how a pastor, about how abortion decreases the amount of welfare and it's good for the taxpayer.
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:30.480
And I was like, whoa, whoa, hold on.
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:32.719
I was like, did say that again.
00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:36.719
And when he said it, I was like, wow, you don't read the same Bible I read.
00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:37.199
No.
00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:39.760
And therein lies, I think, the biggest problem.
00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:48.239
So when Father talks about a cafeteria Catholic, what does he mean for those who might not be Catholic or Christian listening to the show or watching the show, whatever platform?
00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:54.800
What I think you mean, Father, and correct me if I'm wrong, is this it is, I believe this, but I don't want to believe that.
00:40:55.039 --> 00:40:59.679
It is the human ability to say, you know what, God gave us these 10 rules.
00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:04.639
I'm gonna pick which ones are important to God as opposed to God telling me they're all important.
00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:05.360
Exactly.
00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:22.480
And it's it's not just a Catholic uh perspective, how you can rejoice in the deliberate destruction of a human life and still claim to be a Christian, much less a Catholic, it defies faith and reason.
00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:27.440
And it goes it goes to a big a bigger question.
00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:33.679
What is the dignity of a human person?
00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:46.719
If we believe that God created man in his image after his likeness, that gives us an indelible dignity that cannot be taken away.
00:41:48.639 --> 00:42:02.000
So if we can deliberately destroy a human life from the womb, what does that say about about what does that say about us as a civilization?
00:42:03.199 --> 00:42:15.039
So there's a long-standing theory that there are certain segments of the population that simply do not value life the way that maybe we do on this show, right?
00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:29.920
And therein I think lies the real issue, which is if in order for us to live our lives as we see fit, we have to take the life of someone else.
00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:33.760
Where do we get that hubris from?
00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:36.239
Well, and it's starting to run.
00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:36.880
No, go ahead.
00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:40.800
You know, as a gun-toting, God-fearing American, you understand that life is valuable.
00:42:40.880 --> 00:42:42.239
We're all created in God's image.
00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:48.079
You never want or desire to take the life of another human being because that life has value, the same value that yours does.
00:42:48.239 --> 00:42:56.800
So when we talk about defending ourselves against others, we're talking about writing an egregious offense against human kind and God.
00:42:57.199 --> 00:42:58.480
That's what we talk about.
00:42:58.639 --> 00:43:04.159
We don't talk about going out and harming someone that is incapable of helping or harming or hurting themselves, right?
00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:05.840
That's not what we talk about.
00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:07.760
Because that's not the intent.
00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:10.559
Preserving life is what we look for.
00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:11.840
And we talk about preserving life.
00:43:11.920 --> 00:43:15.920
We're not when we talk about abortions, very rarely is it via a rape or something else.
00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:20.239
More abortions are done via what I'm gonna call recreational activity than anything else.
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:20.719
Oh, yeah.
00:43:20.960 --> 00:43:23.119
So that's where the vast majority of them come from.
00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:28.480
Not because of rape or or anything else, it's from that segment and that side.
00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:31.199
And look, I I've never been in that position.
00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:33.280
I pray that I never am.
00:43:33.599 --> 00:43:38.480
And you have to realize what you did to get yourself in that position.
00:43:38.639 --> 00:43:42.960
When I say what you did, I'm not talking about a rape victim or anything else there.
00:43:43.199 --> 00:43:46.000
Things happen and life happened, and that child is innocent.
00:43:46.559 --> 00:43:49.199
And innocence doesn't deserve to be punished.
00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:51.360
Does not deserve to be punished.
00:43:53.119 --> 00:44:10.880
No, I was just gonna say that if life from the womb, from the moment of Moment of conception means nothing to us than to us life at any any any stage up to natural death means nothing.
00:44:11.519 --> 00:44:15.119
That is a huge, huge bell ringer right there.
00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:20.000
Because at the end of the day, where do we start to draw the line?
00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:30.239
Because if someone deems that, you know what, I prefer to have this done, I prefer to have an abortion, if that life means nothing, you know what that means?
00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:32.800
That means that the life of the mother meant nothing too.
00:44:33.039 --> 00:44:36.639
Because someone could have done the same to her at some point.
00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:39.519
It means the life of the father means nothing.
00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:42.239
Because he helped create it.
00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:43.840
She didn't do it on her own.
00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:44.320
Right?
00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:45.119
What was it?
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:48.239
Was it Napoleon, whenever Napoleon's child was being born?
00:44:48.400 --> 00:44:51.039
He told the doctor, something like living here.
00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:52.800
It was a horrible pregnancy.
00:44:53.039 --> 00:44:53.679
Very difficult.
00:44:53.920 --> 00:44:58.719
And he said, If if we must choose, I choose my wife because I chose her first.
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:09.199
We choose to really be upset, I think, is maybe the best word, to be disheartened, to be disappointed about what was signed in Massachusetts.
00:45:09.280 --> 00:45:12.639
We recognize that that is their right as a state to be able to sign that into law.
00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:14.079
Doesn't mean we have to like it.
00:45:14.239 --> 00:45:18.400
What it does mean is that we will have more implicit bias radio.
00:45:18.559 --> 00:45:21.679
Hour two is always more fun because there's more weekly whiskey.
00:45:21.760 --> 00:45:23.519
We're gonna lighten up on the topics just a bit.
00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:24.480
We've got some fun stuff.
00:45:24.559 --> 00:45:32.159
We might even get into what I guess some people consider a basketball league on this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio.
00:45:33.280 --> 00:45:43.679
We are telling dirty jokes on this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio during the breaks, which means that if you want to hear them, maybe tune into bonus content because we do have Father Glaude here trying to keep us Catholic and Christian.
00:45:43.920 --> 00:45:45.360
The jokes are still funny.
00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:49.679
But during the regular show, we have a lot of topics that you will not find anywhere else.
00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:54.880
And this is the stuff we can talk about, whether it be on terrestrial radio or OTP app or podcast.
00:45:54.960 --> 00:45:56.480
So let me welcome you back into the Mr.
00:45:56.559 --> 00:46:00.400
Lester's Top Secret podcast layer here on Implicit Bias Radio.
00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:02.559
We have Grant Galodis at the bar of William S.
00:46:02.639 --> 00:46:03.360
Nacall jewelers.
00:46:03.440 --> 00:46:05.440
He's known as KB because he is from Canabra.
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:11.440
We also have at the bar Father Taj Glaude, who has worn his white vestments, which I love.
00:46:11.519 --> 00:46:18.880
And I did not know Lafayette, Louisiana is the only archdiocese that is allowed to wear the white vestments.
00:46:19.119 --> 00:46:24.239
Right, because usually it's the Pope that wears the full white cassock with the white buttons, piping and everything.
00:46:24.480 --> 00:46:30.719
But uh there are some dioceses around the world that have tropical climates that have permission to wear white cassocks.
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:37.039
And the diocese of Lafayette has that permission, and we're the only one in the United States that has that permission.
00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:41.199
Not to say that there are other dioceses that don't wear the white casket, but we're the ones that have that permission.
00:46:41.280 --> 00:46:42.639
So I think we have bragging rights on that.
00:46:42.800 --> 00:46:43.840
That's actually, I think it's really cool.
00:46:43.920 --> 00:46:52.239
And by the way, if you wanted to see them, you can find us on YouTube, you can find us on podcasts, Apple, Google, uh, Spotify, find us on Facebook, find our reels.
00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:56.960
You can subscribe, like, follow, watch, and you can see what Father Taj Glaude looks like in his white cassock.
00:46:57.119 --> 00:46:58.320
By the way, thank you for cassock.
00:46:58.400 --> 00:46:59.519
I couldn't come up with the word cassock.
00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:01.039
I'm thinking investments, it's not investments.
00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:09.599
Although I have to have to say, um I'm I I can't help but laugh when when I get some looks when I'm when I go somewhere out in public in this.
00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:14.559
I get some looks and I just can't get I just can't help but I say, what's the matter?
00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:16.239
You've never seen a white priest before.
00:47:18.639 --> 00:47:19.840
That is Father Tosh.
00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:24.719
Glad we also have Caleb Morse with here with us here this week on the show, as always, our co-host.
00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:26.239
And I'm your host, Kavon Bordelon.
00:47:26.400 --> 00:47:28.800
Okay, so back to the whole conversation.
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:34.239
And this one can be a little more lighthearted, even though it's still kind of grim.
00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:35.840
RFK Jr.
00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:44.559
dropping some bombshells in the last week about a story that, in my opinion, should get way more pub than it is.
00:47:44.960 --> 00:47:46.079
And it's this.
00:47:46.239 --> 00:47:51.840
Apparently, he's saying that if you are an organ donor, you should take that off of your driver's license.
00:47:51.920 --> 00:47:55.280
Now, we are not condoning one way, that's a personal decision.
00:47:55.679 --> 00:48:24.159
But that ring the bell, Grant, the conspiracy theorists maybe have been right yet again on this, because conspiracy theorists have said forever, and I mean like the sandlot, forever, that if you sign off as an organ donor, and you might be able to be saved, or you might be able to be an organ donor, they might just take that extra little push to make you an organ donor.
00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:26.880
And apparently it happened in the United States already.
00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:30.079
Yeah, it's I mean, it's a beautiful system that's perfectly corruptible.
00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:40.159
When you have people I mean, when you have people uh who are head of hospital administration and they have big money that that donate to the hospitals, uh, and they say, okay, what do we need this week?
00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:42.880
Uh it's a perfectly closed, controlled environment.
00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:57.360
And if they're in need of certain organs and somebody if somebody's on the fence and they could go either way, I mean, how do you know you're getting the absolute best guy, doctor, standing on the table, pounding on your chest, trying to bring you back as opposed to, yeah, I don't think he's gonna make it.
00:48:57.440 --> 00:48:59.199
Uh we're in need of a good liver.
00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:00.159
Let's sign off on this one.
00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:00.960
Doctor, doctor.
00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:01.679
That's scary.
00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:02.559
It's frightening too.
00:49:02.719 --> 00:49:03.119
I can hear this.
00:49:03.199 --> 00:49:03.760
I can hear this.
00:49:03.920 --> 00:49:07.920
Doctor, the pulse is at three beats per minute.
00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:09.440
Uh, that's just no pulse.
00:49:09.519 --> 00:49:10.480
Just go ahead and write it off.
00:49:10.559 --> 00:49:12.480
I mean, that that that's essentially what you're talking about, right?
00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:14.400
It's very frightening.
00:49:14.639 --> 00:49:17.679
Because you, you're, I mean, you're in the most vulnerable position you're you're uh.
00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:20.960
Well, except for the story you sent, because obviously this guy popped out of anesthesia.
00:49:21.199 --> 00:49:24.239
Well, he was still vulnerable because like they they had said that he was dead, right?
00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:25.440
And they went through the process.
00:49:25.519 --> 00:49:34.320
And when you when you look at it, how much of a chance if if your wife was lying on the table and they said there's a 10% chance she'll make it through the surgery?
00:49:34.559 --> 00:49:34.960
10%.
00:49:35.440 --> 00:49:37.519
Like I'm gonna tell you right now, I'll take those chances.
00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:38.320
Oh, absolutely.
00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:39.679
Like we're gonna roll those dice.
00:49:39.760 --> 00:49:40.559
10%'s enough.
00:49:40.719 --> 00:49:43.920
We're gonna go full Star Wars Han Solo, which is never tell me the odds, kid.
00:49:44.079 --> 00:49:44.239
Yeah.
00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:47.679
I mean, if there's a half a percent chance, well, you're telling me there's a chance.
00:49:47.840 --> 00:49:48.880
So let's go with it.
00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:57.440
And in these instances, they might look at it and they have looked at it as the thing, and they say, look, yeah, we can do a$40,000 surgery and collect it later on.
00:49:57.599 --> 00:50:00.239
There's a 35% chance they'll make it.
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:08.159
But if we go ahead and harvest the organs, if they don't make it, then we're gonna profit$85,000 and just roll with it.
00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:09.119
Who's the doctor?
00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:10.000
Anthony Fauci?
00:50:12.159 --> 00:50:13.760
I I was assuming it was Dr.
00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:14.320
Joe Biden.
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:17.440
Oh, I'm sorry, not the same type of doctor there.
00:50:17.760 --> 00:50:23.280
Anyway, no, I but I think what what's really scary here is what Grant said.
00:50:23.440 --> 00:50:25.280
It is so easily corruptible.
00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:27.519
You have to look at where the incentives lie.
00:50:27.599 --> 00:50:30.880
And this is the this is the problem with human behavior.
00:50:31.119 --> 00:50:33.360
We are an incentivized species.
00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:38.079
We do what can give us the most reward.
00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:44.159
We behave in a manner in order to receive the most reward possible.
00:50:44.639 --> 00:50:46.719
So, Caleb, I know you're a hunter.
00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:47.760
I hunt.
00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:49.519
Anyone who hunts knows this.
00:50:49.599 --> 00:50:53.039
And this is why maybe hunters have a really good father claw and likes to hunt.
00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:55.679
You've got a really good understanding of this.
00:50:55.920 --> 00:51:01.199
A deer in the wild is not going to create a new trail where one already exists.
00:51:01.360 --> 00:51:01.760
Why?
00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:05.280
Because it is the least amount of effort for the most amount of reward.
00:51:05.599 --> 00:51:45.199
So think about the organ donation system, and not that people shouldn't donate their organs, but the way it's currently set up could be a major problem because literally what you now have is somebody sitting in an administrative position who says, hmm, we stand to make, or we have a wealthy donor who needs a match, and this person is, and they are willing to, on the back end under the table, maybe slide a quarter of a million dollars or a hundred thousand or a hundred and fifty if we somehow happen to come up with a heart for their child.
00:51:45.760 --> 00:51:47.679
Oh, we just happen to have a match.
00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:50.639
Only problem is it's full Monty Python.
00:51:50.719 --> 00:51:51.440
Well, he's not dead.
00:51:51.599 --> 00:51:52.400
He's not dead yet.
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:54.239
I mean, I'm nearly dead, right?
00:51:54.400 --> 00:51:55.280
I'm not dead yet.
00:51:55.440 --> 00:51:58.000
I mean, that's the scary part of this.
00:51:58.239 --> 00:52:03.199
The scary part of this is bad behavior is incentivized in this scenario.
00:52:03.440 --> 00:52:04.960
Well, and look at it this way, right?
00:52:05.199 --> 00:52:09.280
When we look at uh medical science, we'll say that your brain is dead.
00:52:09.440 --> 00:52:11.679
There's no more neurological function.
00:52:11.920 --> 00:52:13.840
The body's alive, but no one's there.
00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:19.199
Uh, Father Taj, how long was Lazarus dead before his friend Christ called him back?
00:52:19.440 --> 00:52:20.000
Days.
00:52:20.239 --> 00:52:21.119
Four days.
00:52:21.360 --> 00:52:22.639
So four days.
00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:32.960
Whenever you and I'm not trying to dissuade people for persuade people to not donate their organs, but if you were donating your organs, they would have harvested those by then, right?
00:52:33.440 --> 00:52:38.880
So in Lazarus' case, whenever Jesus called out to him and had him come back, would the organs go back in the body?
00:52:38.960 --> 00:52:40.400
Would they create new ones inside of them?
00:52:40.480 --> 00:52:41.679
Would there just be duplicates?
00:52:41.840 --> 00:52:42.800
You have to look at all these things.
00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:46.000
I'm not trying to scare somebody into giving their organs in case of the rapture.
00:52:46.159 --> 00:52:50.559
I'm just trying to say that death isn't what people say it is.
00:52:50.800 --> 00:52:54.079
And as a Christian, you shouldn't be afraid of death.
00:52:54.320 --> 00:52:59.840
I don't think anyone in this room is really afraid to die because we know where we're gonna go.
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:01.119
I am not afraid of death.
00:53:01.280 --> 00:53:03.360
How I go might be a totally different story.
00:53:03.840 --> 00:53:08.880
But uh passing into the next world, nah, let's whenever it's time, it's time, father.
00:53:09.199 --> 00:53:10.320
Memento mori.
00:53:10.880 --> 00:53:15.119
Latin is often mistranslated as remember your death, but remember to die.
00:53:15.440 --> 00:53:17.280
But neither here nor there.
00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:20.239
Well, the flip side has memento vive, remember to live.
00:53:20.559 --> 00:53:21.679
Because we do die.
00:53:22.079 --> 00:53:23.280
Because you will die.
00:53:23.599 --> 00:53:28.480
But it goes it goes back to the question that I raised with with abortion.
00:53:29.760 --> 00:53:34.800
Where do we draw the line when it comes to the dignity of the human person?
00:53:34.880 --> 00:53:42.000
And even I would go so go so far as to say where do we draw the line in respect for the human body?
00:53:42.559 --> 00:53:44.239
I think that's the big point.
00:53:45.119 --> 00:54:06.480
I mean, we have funeral homes where bodies are left to decompose and their families already in grief are have are having having their grief doubled or even tripled because of the fact that that their their loved ones never really received the right the rights, the rights of the church.
00:54:08.239 --> 00:54:25.199
So it goes goes back to the fact if if we can't respect the body from from the womb, then how can can can we expect anyone to respect the human body at any at any stage of life, even in death?
00:54:25.519 --> 00:54:27.519
Well, and we're created in God's image, right?
00:54:27.679 --> 00:54:30.480
So from the moment of conception, God's image is there.
00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:35.440
When we pass, our soul, our spirit is how we continue.
00:54:35.519 --> 00:54:39.280
But the body is still an imager of God and must be respected.
00:54:39.679 --> 00:54:43.840
And I'm gonna say this, and this is just my personal opinion.
00:54:44.159 --> 00:54:48.639
This is not the church talking, this is Father Glord talking, or Father Glord ranting.
00:54:50.320 --> 00:54:52.480
I've never been a fan of cremation.
00:54:52.719 --> 00:54:54.960
For a long time the church didn't allow it.
00:54:55.440 --> 00:54:57.519
But then it was allowed.
00:54:57.760 --> 00:55:08.639
And now it's to the point where people want to cremate themselves or want to cremate their loved ones just for the sake of doing it and scatter their ashes.
00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:22.239
But the right of the Catholic Church says that if you cre if you create if you are cremated, your ashes, or cremates, as they put them, must be buried in the same way you bury a body.
00:55:26.000 --> 00:55:28.320
The body is made in God's image and likeness.
00:55:28.400 --> 00:55:33.840
And so we treat the body with the utmost respect and res out of respect for that dignity.
00:55:34.480 --> 00:55:42.480
And we should, and I think that is what brings this whole topic of what RFK brought to the table full circle.
00:55:42.800 --> 00:55:50.400
And it's this it is We are being farmed for lack of a better term.
00:55:50.960 --> 00:56:02.079
We are not being treated with the dignity of a human being, we are being treated with basically the same dignity that people are looking at cattle and sheep, just a product, right?
00:56:02.480 --> 00:56:05.599
We are viewed as a monetary asset.
00:56:06.000 --> 00:56:09.679
And look, some assets are better than others, but that is not the point here.
00:56:10.000 --> 00:56:16.079
We are viewed as, oh, this person will generate this amount in taxes, this person will generate this amount of productivity.
00:56:16.239 --> 00:56:22.159
That is what this person, and look, that is from the government to corporations across the board.
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:33.920
And this is why when we incentivize bad behavior for doctors, when we incentivize the dehumanization of a person, now you're just spare parts.
00:56:34.159 --> 00:56:37.440
And again, I'm not trying to tell someone you shouldn't donate your organs.
00:56:37.599 --> 00:56:40.400
That is a personal decision that is up to you.
00:56:40.639 --> 00:56:49.199
But what I do know is that if they've uncovered one case, they've missed hundreds of thousands of cases where this has happened.
00:56:49.280 --> 00:56:57.119
Because if you look up how many people die in this country every day, that number gets really big really quick.
00:56:57.519 --> 00:56:59.199
And I commend RFK Jr.
00:56:59.440 --> 00:57:04.719
for bringing this particular particular story to the fore and bring bringing the issue to the fore.
00:57:05.039 --> 00:57:16.400
But what's the worst part about this is that yeah, we're being farmed, we're being treated, humanity is being treated as a means to one man's end.
00:57:16.800 --> 00:57:21.199
But what's worse is that people have been silent about it.
00:57:21.920 --> 00:57:23.920
Nobody said anything up until now.
00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:26.320
What's who's worse, father?
00:57:26.559 --> 00:57:30.639
Is the doctor worse for saying, oh, we're just gonna harvest this?
00:57:30.880 --> 00:57:42.719
Or are the seven other people who are in the operating room who ignore the fact that someone might still be alive while this happens and just go, yeah, we're just we're going with it because we were following orders?
00:57:43.039 --> 00:57:44.719
I will say that's even worse.
00:57:45.679 --> 00:57:52.239
Why that makes you makes them complicit and and that makes makes them them complicit in murder.
00:57:52.480 --> 00:58:07.840
See, I would almost argue though that Matthew outlines morally that it is the doctor who is leading them there, who is you just follow my orders because you have to, and telling them to do it because he is now corrupting those who might not otherwise be corrupted.
00:58:08.480 --> 00:58:11.440
That's and that's just you know a Kavanaugh opinion.
00:58:11.599 --> 00:58:25.679
No, because God himself said if your brother brother is is is living in sin and you don't warn him, don't admonish him, he will die in the sin, but I will hold you accountable responsible for his death.
00:58:26.000 --> 00:58:26.320
Yep.
00:58:26.559 --> 00:58:32.159
So look, it it's I certainly see a scenario where people are telling doctors we shouldn't do this, doctors know we're doing it.
00:58:32.800 --> 00:58:37.039
And I mean, that's a moral conundrum that people have more than likely been put in.
00:58:37.199 --> 00:58:49.039
I mean, we're talking about a lot of hypothetical here, but unfortunately, with someone waking up on the table, somebody had to know that this patient was not dead.
00:58:49.280 --> 00:58:54.079
Well, and there's they were saying that as they were wheeling him away, his eyes were darting back and forth.
00:58:54.239 --> 00:58:58.719
He was crying, he was active, although he wasn't verbal, but he was responsive.
00:58:58.960 --> 00:59:00.639
Well, he was probably intubated.
00:59:00.800 --> 00:59:04.639
I mean, it's really difficult to be verbal with a tube stuck down your throat, right?
00:59:05.360 --> 00:59:10.320
Just a sad story, one of those things where I'm like, okay, we got to have more fun on this show, so we're gonna talk about something fun now.
00:59:10.639 --> 00:59:12.480
TJ Hooker, I think, or Hoover, maybe?
00:59:12.719 --> 00:59:13.760
Something of that nature, yeah.
00:59:14.000 --> 00:59:21.360
I mean, I don't want to say the name doesn't necessarily matter, but I mean, at this point, it's it's the principle that is the real problem.
00:59:21.599 --> 00:59:25.440
Speaking of the principle, we have something coming up on September 17th.
00:59:25.599 --> 00:59:27.119
It does not involve a principle.
00:59:27.280 --> 00:59:34.159
It, however, might involve something educational and a fantastic night at a member of the Implicit Bias Liquor Collective.
00:59:34.480 --> 00:59:43.679
Ambassador Wine and Spirits is hosting an implicit bias night with Heaven Hill at Ambassador Wine and Spirits After Dark.
00:59:43.920 --> 00:59:50.960
And this is going to be the offering that will be available at Ambassador Wine and Spirits that night.
00:59:51.039 --> 00:59:53.119
Yes, tickets are now on sale if you want to go buy them.
00:59:53.199 --> 00:59:55.360
And I'm going to outline the tickets in a second.
00:59:56.159 --> 00:59:58.000
This is the offering.
00:59:58.159 --> 01:00:00.400
It starts with an old fit seven-year.
01:00:00.559 --> 01:00:00.880
Ooh.
01:00:01.360 --> 01:00:04.880
A Larceny barrel pick from Ambassador Wine and Spirits.
01:00:04.960 --> 01:00:05.039
Okay.
01:00:05.280 --> 01:00:05.519
All right.
01:00:05.679 --> 01:00:09.519
An Elijah Craig Sportsman's Paradise cask strength offering.
01:00:09.760 --> 01:00:10.480
Cast strength?
01:00:10.719 --> 01:00:11.360
Yes.
01:00:11.599 --> 01:00:19.760
A Heaven Hill grain to glass weeded, a Henry McKenna tenure single barrel, and a Widow Jane Lucky 13.
01:00:20.719 --> 01:00:22.719
That is what the tasting will be that night.
01:00:22.800 --> 01:00:27.679
There will be representatives from Heaven Hill there, as well as members of the crew of Implicit Bias Radio.
01:00:27.760 --> 01:00:31.599
So you want to come talk to us, have a whiskey, solve the problems of the world.
01:00:31.760 --> 01:00:32.719
This is the night to do it.
01:00:32.800 --> 01:00:34.000
There aren't that many tickets available.
01:00:34.079 --> 01:00:35.039
There's only going to be like 50.
01:00:35.119 --> 01:00:38.639
And here's the crazy part: tickets are 30 bucks, just normal tickets.
01:00:38.719 --> 01:00:40.480
There's a VIP ticket.
01:00:40.800 --> 01:00:42.960
The VIP ticket is going to be 50.
01:00:43.280 --> 01:00:48.960
And that ticket will include a bottle yet to be named when you leave the store automatically.
01:00:49.440 --> 01:00:51.440
So$20 more, and you get a bottle.
01:00:51.679 --> 01:00:52.480
Correct.
01:00:54.400 --> 01:00:56.239
You can't really buy whiskey for$20.
01:00:56.719 --> 01:00:57.360
Barely.
01:00:57.599 --> 01:00:58.079
Barely.
01:00:58.320 --> 01:00:58.960
Father's tried.
01:00:59.039 --> 01:01:00.400
They won't even give it to a preferred$20.
01:01:00.719 --> 01:01:01.599
Barely or barely?
01:01:01.760 --> 01:01:02.480
I said barely.
01:01:02.639 --> 01:01:02.800
Oh.
01:01:04.079 --> 01:01:05.280
Too bad my parents can't.
01:01:05.519 --> 01:01:07.920
Too bad my parents can't accept that kind of offering.
01:01:10.000 --> 01:01:12.960
But yeah, gonna be a fantastic night at Ambassador Wine and Spirits.
01:01:13.039 --> 01:01:13.440
We're gonna talk.
01:01:13.519 --> 01:01:15.519
There might even be a cigar element.
01:01:15.760 --> 01:01:17.519
Oh my God, it makes me think of that stupid.
01:01:17.599 --> 01:01:21.119
Oh, so you tell me I get these fantastic fries if I just get the vaccine.
01:01:21.280 --> 01:01:24.639
And then the no, there's gonna be potentially a cigar element.
01:01:24.719 --> 01:01:25.679
We're gonna have tons of fun.
01:01:25.840 --> 01:01:30.320
It'll be a great night on Ambassador Wine and Spirits after dark September 17th.
01:01:30.480 --> 01:01:31.119
Don't miss it.
01:01:31.199 --> 01:01:32.239
Go by, get your tickets.
01:01:32.400 --> 01:01:36.000
Tickets only available at Ambassador Wine and Spirits.
01:01:36.159 --> 01:01:38.079
It'll be tons of fun with Implicit Bias Radio.
01:01:38.159 --> 01:01:44.800
We'll be right back getting into some of the stupid stuff that we like to do, as if we're not stupid already, on this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio.
01:01:45.440 --> 01:01:47.840
More fun than we should be allowed to have in front of microphones.
01:01:48.000 --> 01:01:48.239
Why?
01:01:48.320 --> 01:01:50.800
Because there's weekly whiskey involved on Implicit Bias Radio.
01:01:50.880 --> 01:01:52.159
I'm your host, Gavon Bordelon.
01:01:52.239 --> 01:01:54.800
We've got Caleb Morse, Father Taj Glaude, Grant Colotis, William S.
01:01:54.880 --> 01:01:56.400
Nacole Jewers here in the Mr.
01:01:56.480 --> 01:01:57.840
Lester's TSPL.
01:01:58.000 --> 01:02:06.960
By the way, if you missed the end of last segment, don't forget, go get your tickets at Ambassador Wine and Spirits for September 17th, Heaven Hill Night with Implicit Bias Radio.
01:02:07.119 --> 01:02:11.679
You can solve the problems of the world with the crew with Heaven Hill products as well.
01:02:11.760 --> 01:02:12.880
So gonna be tons of fun.
01:02:13.039 --> 01:02:17.119
All right, this story comes from my hometown.
01:02:17.440 --> 01:02:20.639
I love doing stories that make national headlines.
01:02:20.800 --> 01:02:24.000
Unfortunately, it's almost never for a good reason from New Orleans.
01:02:24.159 --> 01:02:28.320
But this one, it's like, gee, there's a terrible idea.
01:02:28.559 --> 01:02:29.920
Where did it come from?
01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:30.800
Shocker.
01:02:31.199 --> 01:02:36.159
Someone in political leadership in a big city said, Oh, this will be a good idea.
01:02:36.320 --> 01:02:37.679
Let's see how this works out.
01:02:37.840 --> 01:02:38.559
And you know what?
01:02:38.719 --> 01:02:43.679
Now we have AI agents answering 911 calls in New Orleans.
01:02:44.159 --> 01:02:50.719
Look, you know, if you haven't dialed 911 in the past couple years, it's probably an improvement to have AI on there.
01:02:50.960 --> 01:02:55.760
Trying to talk to some of the operators they have now, like good luck spelling Hickory Street to them.
01:02:55.920 --> 01:02:57.840
Like, imagine Or Choppatoolis.
01:02:58.320 --> 01:02:59.280
Yeah, well, you know.
01:02:59.599 --> 01:03:01.760
I mean, but here's the bigger problem I have, Caleb.
01:03:01.920 --> 01:03:04.239
Have you tried dialing a company that has AI?
01:03:04.639 --> 01:03:06.800
I mean, seriously, welcome to 911.
01:03:06.880 --> 01:03:08.079
Help somebody been shot.
01:03:08.239 --> 01:03:10.400
If you'd like English, please press one.
01:03:10.559 --> 01:03:12.960
If you'd like Spanish, please press two.
01:03:13.199 --> 01:03:15.280
If you would like, I mean, dear lord.
01:03:15.519 --> 01:03:17.760
And that's that's how 911 is already.
01:03:17.920 --> 01:03:23.599
And the problem we have is 911 call centers are trying to make themselves more viable.
01:03:23.760 --> 01:03:25.519
Look at the parish you live in.
01:03:25.679 --> 01:03:27.840
If you try to call St.
01:03:27.920 --> 01:03:30.400
Martin Sheriff Department, Lafayette Sheriff Department, St.
01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:35.840
Landry Sheriff Department, if you try to call these sheriff departments for an emergency, no, call 911.
01:03:35.920 --> 01:03:36.239
Why?
01:03:36.400 --> 01:03:40.880
Because taxpayer dollars are calculated via the 911 call system.
01:03:41.119 --> 01:03:42.559
If you think I'm lying, go look for some.
01:03:43.280 --> 01:03:45.920
The sad part is I don't and I didn't think about that.
01:03:46.400 --> 01:03:49.440
They're trying to justify their expenditures in these call sitters.
01:03:49.519 --> 01:03:57.679
And that they're having difficulty putting worthwhile candidates in there because the average human being is dumb as a box of rocks.
01:03:57.840 --> 01:04:03.519
Hey, look, George Carlin, think about how dumb the average American is and realize that half of us are dumber than that.
01:04:03.679 --> 01:04:04.320
Grant.
01:04:04.960 --> 01:04:06.159
You have to read this article.
01:04:06.320 --> 01:04:06.960
Go find this article.
01:04:07.119 --> 01:04:07.440
I read it.
01:04:07.599 --> 01:04:07.760
Please.
01:04:07.840 --> 01:04:09.519
No, I'm just I'm talking about the listen to the case.
01:04:09.679 --> 01:04:10.719
Oh, yes, please don't believe us.
01:04:10.800 --> 01:04:11.199
Go read this.
01:04:11.280 --> 01:04:12.079
It's in the New York Post.
01:04:12.480 --> 01:04:12.960
It's so funny.
01:04:13.519 --> 01:04:14.639
It's not just New Orleans.
01:04:14.719 --> 01:04:19.440
This this would pretty much apply to any area like this, but New Orleans is notoriously high crime.
01:04:19.519 --> 01:04:26.000
They said there was uh one of the busiest call centers in the nation at like a averaging a thousand calls per day.
01:04:26.320 --> 01:04:39.039
And one of the one of the sentences that got me in this article is it said, one of the biggest problems being encountered is that when people call 911 for assistance, they're not exactly calm.
01:04:39.760 --> 01:04:41.519
So AI can solve it, not a person.
01:04:41.920 --> 01:04:45.280
So AI is gonna be dealing a lot with Mo Fricka stab me.
01:04:45.519 --> 01:04:46.719
Mo Frika stab me.
01:04:47.519 --> 01:04:49.519
And AI is gonna say, someone named Mo.
01:04:51.199 --> 01:04:53.440
Stab the hell out of someone.
01:04:53.840 --> 01:04:56.079
Let's put out an APP on Mo Fricka.
01:04:56.800 --> 01:04:59.199
Mo Bonjoffrey F R I C K A.
01:04:59.599 --> 01:05:00.559
Mo Frick A stab.
01:05:00.880 --> 01:05:01.280
Okay, look.
01:05:02.000 --> 01:05:05.519
Grant, you ring the bell because this is a classic Grant Galatis moment.
01:05:05.679 --> 01:05:07.199
Grant has pulled something out here.
01:05:07.360 --> 01:05:15.039
Do you know the vocabulary they are gonna have to teach AI exactly to take 911 calls in any major city, including New Orleans?
01:05:15.360 --> 01:05:18.239
Any major city, because I mean it it's gonna have to be extensive.
01:05:18.400 --> 01:05:19.519
There's gonna have to be an instant.
01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:25.119
Well, the amount, the amount of sheer cursing that it's gonna have to deal with.
01:05:25.440 --> 01:05:26.800
And that was that was the point.
01:05:26.880 --> 01:05:34.800
They said usually when people call, they're they're not gonna pick up the phone and say, uh, yes, um, think about that just stabbed me in the eye with an ice pick.
01:05:35.039 --> 01:05:37.599
Think about the word that you use that starts with an F.
01:05:37.760 --> 01:05:43.199
That can be a noun, that can be a verb, that can be an adjective, it can be an adverb, it can be a pronoun.
01:05:43.280 --> 01:05:44.880
I mean, you start going through all this.
01:05:45.039 --> 01:05:50.239
I mean, uh that that fricker, that stupid frick, will I?
01:05:50.639 --> 01:05:52.880
It sounds right when you say I got fricked by.
01:05:53.039 --> 01:05:54.480
I mean, it's like, what is going on here?
01:05:55.440 --> 01:05:58.880
You mean to tell me AI is gonna be able to figure out the context of the word?
01:05:59.119 --> 01:05:59.760
Well, and the guy.
01:06:04.320 --> 01:06:05.760
That's what happens in NOAA.
01:06:06.239 --> 01:06:11.039
So But look, they they said uh since 2024, Seattle has implemented this program.
01:06:11.760 --> 01:06:13.519
So Seattle's go back over the article.
01:06:13.920 --> 01:06:14.320
So wait a minute.
01:06:14.400 --> 01:06:15.280
So whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:06:15.599 --> 01:06:18.719
But look, but Seattle, yeah, but Seattle didn't report anything on it.
01:06:19.119 --> 01:06:19.840
So there's what we want to emulate.
01:06:21.039 --> 01:06:25.440
We want to emulate Seattle because Seattle is a great bastion of law and order in the United States.
01:06:25.519 --> 01:06:27.679
I mean, don't they still have the chop that square offs?
01:06:27.920 --> 01:06:29.440
Maybe 60, 60% calls to start.
01:06:29.760 --> 01:06:30.159
We should go there.
01:06:30.960 --> 01:06:32.880
You scream instead of uh sugar in my stuff.
01:06:33.039 --> 01:06:40.079
I was about to say, up there, yes, they get 911 calls of they wouldn't make my chai from Frigno Lopa Chappe, whatever the hell you call it.
01:06:42.719 --> 01:06:43.840
My pronouns.
01:06:44.400 --> 01:06:45.760
It's a good case study, though.
01:06:45.840 --> 01:06:49.440
I mean, did in a in a lesser crime area to try it out just to see how they've done.
01:06:49.519 --> 01:06:52.159
But they said Seattle reported nothing about it.
01:06:52.239 --> 01:06:55.679
They didn't tell uh local media, they didn't tell anybody that they were doing it.
01:06:56.000 --> 01:06:56.719
But here's the deal.
01:06:57.039 --> 01:06:57.519
Interesting though.
01:06:57.679 --> 01:07:02.559
So if they reported nothing after implementation, it tells you everything you need to know.
01:07:02.800 --> 01:07:09.440
Because if they had good things to report after implementation, they'd have been like, hey, look what we did, look what this system did.
01:07:09.599 --> 01:07:10.960
We are now solving all these problems.
01:07:11.119 --> 01:07:13.440
Instead, they're like, Yeah, we didn't do anything.
01:07:13.599 --> 01:07:20.079
Um I mean, it's it's that whole guy who gets pulled over by the cops and he looks at him and he's like, Is there a reason why you pulled me over, officer?
01:07:20.159 --> 01:07:22.000
And his hands are shaking, he's sweating bullets.
01:07:22.079 --> 01:07:25.840
He, you know, he's got two teeth and he's got all the meth welts all over his face.
01:07:25.920 --> 01:07:28.079
And in the and the cop's like, Oh, the plantation in.
01:07:28.159 --> 01:07:28.400
Yeah.
01:07:28.719 --> 01:07:32.320
The cop's like, gee, I wonder if you are running drugs or something, right?
01:07:32.559 --> 01:07:35.119
You know, 14 hours on the job, and it's like, you know what?
01:07:35.199 --> 01:07:38.000
Where to it Googles it on its own, where to find crack cocaine?
01:07:38.320 --> 01:07:39.039
Under bites.
01:07:39.280 --> 01:07:39.679
Sorry.
01:07:40.559 --> 01:07:48.960
And there's therein lies the crazy part about all this, which is you start throwing all this data in the AI.
01:07:49.599 --> 01:07:51.599
How long is it gonna take Skynet to go?
01:07:51.760 --> 01:07:53.119
Uh, you know what we need to do at New Orleans?
01:07:53.360 --> 01:07:54.400
We just need to delete.
01:07:54.559 --> 01:07:57.599
That's what we just need to reset the whole city.
01:07:57.840 --> 01:08:04.079
The good, the bad, the ugly, it all needs to go because all the 911 calls are horrific, and that's the scary part.
01:08:04.239 --> 01:08:04.960
Father.
01:08:06.320 --> 01:08:13.119
Only have this to say because well, it pretty much speaks for itself, but this whole thing proves a long-standing principle.
01:08:13.440 --> 01:08:16.000
Whether people, you have idiots.
01:08:16.239 --> 01:08:16.640
Yeah.
01:08:17.039 --> 01:08:18.880
Well, we're a messy species.
01:08:19.199 --> 01:08:19.840
We just are.
01:08:20.239 --> 01:08:21.840
911, what are your pronouns?
01:08:22.079 --> 01:08:25.199
Yeah, and this in creates the issue.
01:08:26.000 --> 01:08:36.399
I mean, can you imagine the argument of someone going through a medical emergency who wants to have a discussion seriously about what they're called, as opposed to what's wrong?
01:08:36.560 --> 01:08:38.000
What what are what are you feeling like?
01:08:38.079 --> 01:08:39.680
Well, I feel like I identify this way.
01:08:39.760 --> 01:08:41.279
No, no, no, no, that's not what I mean.
01:08:41.439 --> 01:08:42.560
It's not what I mean.
01:08:42.800 --> 01:08:44.800
What I mean is, how does your chest feel?
01:08:45.199 --> 01:08:49.119
My chest feels like it should have these growths on it, but it doesn't no, that's not the point, right?
01:08:49.279 --> 01:08:59.680
I mean, this this is where we are, and which is why we've got to get back to the value of human life and the value of the way that we are designed by God from the beginning.
01:09:00.239 --> 01:09:03.439
Because without it, man, we just end up in a really big mess.
01:09:03.760 --> 01:09:06.880
Speaking of designed by God, like imagine if you get to the Pearlie Gates and you're like, oh, St.
01:09:07.039 --> 01:09:08.399
Peter, here's my chance.
01:09:08.479 --> 01:09:09.439
And like, no, welcome.
01:09:09.520 --> 01:09:10.319
I am Gemini.
01:09:12.560 --> 01:09:14.079
Like, that's what we're trying to do here.
01:09:14.159 --> 01:09:15.520
We're giving it all to someone else.
01:09:15.680 --> 01:09:16.960
We don't want to take responsibility.
01:09:17.039 --> 01:09:17.840
So, what are we doing?
01:09:18.000 --> 01:09:21.920
We're giving a machine the ability to be responsible because we don't want that ability.
01:09:22.159 --> 01:09:23.359
And what that role.
01:09:23.600 --> 01:09:27.760
Here's the worst part, and I've got to give this disclaimer for our New Orleans listeners and viewers.
01:09:28.479 --> 01:09:30.399
I love the city of New Orleans.
01:09:30.560 --> 01:09:32.479
New Orleans is amazing.
01:09:32.640 --> 01:09:40.000
I don't want to see another dumb idea that is easily predictable as a dumb idea continue to ruin the city even farther.
01:09:40.239 --> 01:09:48.079
Look, if you've had if you had a dial 911, if you're in NOLA and you've dialed 911 and had a good or bad experience with AI, email us.
01:09:48.319 --> 01:09:49.760
Oh, find us on Facebook messages.
01:09:49.920 --> 01:09:50.479
We'd love to hear.
01:09:50.960 --> 01:09:52.159
Like, let us know how it went.
01:09:52.319 --> 01:09:53.279
Tell me I'm wrong.
01:09:53.840 --> 01:09:54.000
Please.
01:09:54.319 --> 01:10:06.319
New Orleans is the perfect proving uh testing ground for this because look, Kavon, growing up, we we've had a lot of incidents where we're we're nationally considered a perfect place for this because of poor decisions in the past.
01:10:06.640 --> 01:10:08.239
Well, New Orleans okay, Tom.
01:10:08.560 --> 01:10:11.039
Look, this is something that's always bothered me, and we're gonna go down this rabbit hole.
01:10:11.119 --> 01:10:13.520
It's a it's a shift of topic just a bit.
01:10:14.079 --> 01:10:16.560
The whole Vegas is Sin City thing.
01:10:17.039 --> 01:10:18.319
Vegas, sorry.
01:10:18.560 --> 01:10:25.520
No, no, you weren't even a twinkle in a mobster's eye when New Orleans was making horrific decisions at four o'clock in the morning.
01:10:25.680 --> 01:10:27.039
You just weren't, right?
01:10:27.359 --> 01:10:33.279
New Orleans is the original, I hate to say Sin City, it's the original city of bad decisions.
01:10:33.439 --> 01:10:35.760
It's the original city that care forgot.
01:10:36.000 --> 01:10:39.119
It is the original big easy for a reason.
01:10:40.560 --> 01:10:46.239
New Orleans has the culture that it's just it's so unique in this entire country.
01:10:46.560 --> 01:10:49.920
It is so much more European, it is on a different timeline.
01:10:50.159 --> 01:10:51.119
It just is.
01:10:51.279 --> 01:10:54.000
And for those who don't understand that, I'm sorry, but you gotta go there.
01:10:54.079 --> 01:10:56.079
You gotta see it through a local's eyes, let them show you.
01:10:56.159 --> 01:10:58.560
And when they do, you will fall in love with the city.
01:10:58.720 --> 01:11:03.680
Here's the big thing: don't be the moron who says, Oh, it'd be so much better if I brought this to the city.
01:11:03.840 --> 01:11:06.720
You're not that smart, you're not that much of a genius.
01:11:06.880 --> 01:11:08.800
Your culture is not special.
01:11:09.039 --> 01:11:22.560
You, if you want to come to New Orleans, go to New Orleans, become a true New Orleanian, follow New Orleans, and learn to lead by following, which we will do on the penultimate segment, second to last segment of this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio when we return.
01:11:23.199 --> 01:11:29.199
The penultimate segment of Implicit Bias Radio, that means the second to last segment or the Sam Stokes segment, rest in peace.
01:11:29.359 --> 01:11:31.520
He's not really dead, he's just dead to us because he left the show.
01:11:31.600 --> 01:11:32.880
I'm your host, Gavon Borderland.
01:11:33.039 --> 01:11:35.439
We have at the bar Father Taj Glaude, Grant Calatis of William S.
01:11:35.520 --> 01:11:38.560
Nay called Jewelers, the Rust to Grenegade himself, Caleb Morse.
01:11:38.640 --> 01:11:44.079
And we have so many topics to try and fit into the last two segments of the show.
01:11:44.239 --> 01:11:46.000
I'm gonna start with this one very quickly.
01:11:46.159 --> 01:11:50.640
We're gonna transition, not that way, to a different topic in this segment as well.
01:11:50.880 --> 01:11:52.159
I want to start here.
01:11:52.640 --> 01:11:54.640
Somebody cue up Britney Spears.
01:11:54.800 --> 01:11:56.079
Oops, I did it again.
01:11:56.319 --> 01:11:58.079
Because apparently, one more sorry.
01:11:58.239 --> 01:12:01.279
No, no, no, we're not talking about your marital life killing.
01:12:01.600 --> 01:12:02.720
Anyway, thanks a lot.
01:12:04.640 --> 01:12:05.520
I like it a little rough.
01:12:05.760 --> 01:12:14.319
The oops, I did it again is so there was another Democratic gubernatorial primary in Wisconsin.
01:12:14.960 --> 01:12:18.960
And anybody know what happened in that gubernatorial primary right before this show?
01:12:19.119 --> 01:12:19.520
Anybody?
01:12:19.840 --> 01:12:20.479
She's Austin.
01:12:20.960 --> 01:12:24.640
Oh, so you had stupid and crazy, right?
01:12:25.119 --> 01:12:26.800
And Crazy was winning.
01:12:27.359 --> 01:12:30.800
And then all of a sudden, what happened in Milwaukee?
01:12:31.119 --> 01:12:34.319
Do you know the details of how Hong got hung?
01:12:34.640 --> 01:12:35.119
Fill me in.
01:12:35.840 --> 01:12:37.600
Here's how it happened.
01:12:39.279 --> 01:12:44.479
So at a 10, 10:30 is when I first saw the reporting.
01:12:44.640 --> 01:12:48.479
Doesn't mean that's exactly when it happened, but I think it was around that time last night.
01:12:48.720 --> 01:13:01.840
Milwaukee all of a sudden reports that five thumb drives with their votes on it have quote technology errors and they no longer have the votes recorded on the five thumb drives out of Milwaukee.
01:13:02.079 --> 01:13:02.960
You know, I bought some of those.
01:13:03.039 --> 01:13:04.479
They were discounted at Walgreens.
01:13:06.880 --> 01:13:07.760
So wait a minute.
01:13:07.840 --> 01:13:09.359
You're telling me this happens again?
01:13:09.600 --> 01:13:11.920
Because I mean, look, my father used to have a saying.
01:13:12.239 --> 01:13:16.880
He'd say, Son, if it happens once, shame on you.
01:13:17.520 --> 01:13:20.640
If it happens twice, shame on me.
01:13:20.960 --> 01:13:22.720
It better not happen a third time.
01:13:23.680 --> 01:13:29.279
How many times do we have to see one candidate winning?
01:13:30.560 --> 01:13:42.880
And always the most beneficial candidate for the Democrats, somehow over the middle of the night, over or a couple of days after the election, finds the votes to win.
01:13:43.439 --> 01:13:47.680
How many times does it have to happen before pattern recognition kicks in?
01:13:47.920 --> 01:13:52.239
It's just more than 50% of the memory sticks had the wrong information.
01:13:52.399 --> 01:13:55.199
So they had to make, I mean, find the right information.
01:13:58.079 --> 01:14:00.159
I cannot believe that P.
01:14:00.239 --> 01:14:00.319
T.
01:14:00.479 --> 01:14:05.439
Barnum is as relevant today as he was when he said there's a sucker born every minute.
01:14:06.319 --> 01:14:07.920
And this is the problem.
01:14:08.479 --> 01:14:11.920
There are suckers out there who believe this whole thing was on the up and up.
01:14:12.000 --> 01:14:13.680
Look, it's Democrats fighting Democrats.
01:14:13.760 --> 01:14:14.960
And I'll tell you why I care.
01:14:15.199 --> 01:14:16.720
I care for this reason.
01:14:16.960 --> 01:14:26.720
Because if the crazy wins as opposed to the stupid, the Republican gubernatorial seat is basically guaranteed in Wisconsin.
01:14:27.359 --> 01:14:31.920
And look, like I said, five out of nine memory sticks had the wrong information put on.
01:14:32.239 --> 01:14:33.039
That is 60%.
01:14:33.439 --> 01:14:34.720
That is more than I mean, right?
01:14:34.880 --> 01:14:35.199
Yeah, yeah.
01:14:35.359 --> 01:14:37.680
And here's the thing they're saying it was human error.
01:14:38.079 --> 01:14:38.960
Guess what?
01:14:39.760 --> 01:14:40.239
Shocker.
01:14:40.720 --> 01:14:43.680
All nine of these memory sticks came from a different spot.
01:14:44.479 --> 01:14:54.239
So either five people all made the exact same mistake because they were instructed to, or they were on the take.
01:14:54.479 --> 01:15:09.840
What's the what's the probability that five people carrying or dealing with memory sticks all make the same mistake as opposed to the possibility that five people were told or went, um, you know what we should do?
01:15:10.319 --> 01:15:16.720
We should make sure that we figure out how many votes we need before we turn in all the votes.
01:15:17.359 --> 01:15:17.840
Imagine.
01:15:18.239 --> 01:15:22.640
Sound familiar when you know where it's because you make the target, it's easy to hit.
01:15:23.039 --> 01:15:25.600
That's that therein lies the problem, right?
01:15:26.399 --> 01:15:28.880
All the only reason we put this out there, thank you.
01:15:29.039 --> 01:15:32.239
The only reason we put this out there is because we actually care about people's votes.
01:15:32.640 --> 01:15:38.079
And look, we may not agree with Democrats on a lot of things, but your vote matters.
01:15:38.399 --> 01:15:52.239
And if your vote is being misconstrued, if your vote is being hijacked by a corrupt organization, by a racketeering influence corrupt organization that launders money in order to maintain power, which is the definition of a RICO case.
01:15:52.479 --> 01:15:53.680
We care for you.
01:15:53.920 --> 01:15:55.359
We absolutely care for you.
01:15:55.439 --> 01:15:59.119
We want that RICO organization out so we can get real people running the show.
01:15:59.520 --> 01:16:03.439
There are never any negative ramifications for voter fraud.
01:16:03.680 --> 01:16:10.960
I was saying that loud, so Matt could uh uh just like the just like the organ harvesting, it's a perfectly corruptible system.
01:16:11.199 --> 01:16:12.319
Oh, I thought you were talking about autopen.
01:16:12.479 --> 01:16:12.880
No, no, no.
01:16:13.600 --> 01:16:14.239
That as well.
01:16:14.399 --> 01:16:16.640
Look, there's never any negative ramifications.
01:16:16.720 --> 01:16:19.520
You never hear any of these cases being prosecuted.
01:16:19.680 --> 01:16:22.640
Uh uh the 2020 election, like you coughed out a few minutes ago.
01:16:22.720 --> 01:16:24.159
There was never anything that came of that.
01:16:24.319 --> 01:16:26.319
And so they're going, they're gonna continue it.
01:16:26.479 --> 01:16:28.960
But we did have an arrest the day we recorded this show.
01:16:29.359 --> 01:16:29.600
Stop it.
01:16:29.760 --> 01:16:32.079
And it has to do with the Southern Poverty Law Center.
01:16:32.159 --> 01:16:38.800
The former CEO of the Southern Poverty Law Center was arrested on fraud charges for Grant Galatis.
01:16:38.960 --> 01:16:40.560
Ring the bell, someone was arrested.
01:16:40.640 --> 01:16:41.600
It's not the person you want.
01:16:42.399 --> 01:16:43.520
We finally, but we finally did get one.
01:16:43.760 --> 01:16:44.960
Too far down on the food chain.
01:16:45.359 --> 01:16:47.199
That's where they start on Rico cases.
01:16:47.279 --> 01:16:49.199
They start down the food chain and then work their way up.
01:16:49.439 --> 01:16:50.399
You hold on to that.
01:16:50.560 --> 01:16:53.119
Hey, all I'm saying is we have one arrest.
01:16:53.359 --> 01:16:54.000
I am being factual.
01:16:54.560 --> 01:17:00.319
If you want to be unhappy about somebody being arrested, you can go sit in the quarter and be Grant Grumpy Pants, which will be your new name.
01:17:00.560 --> 01:17:02.239
Every once in a while, you gotta enjoy catching a minnow.
01:17:02.880 --> 01:17:10.640
You'd much rather catch the big six-pound bass, but if if you put a little perch in the boat, yeah, and then if you can use the perch for bait, that's when it gets fun.
01:17:10.800 --> 01:17:14.960
Speaking of bait, there's bait out there right now in the world of firearms.
01:17:15.199 --> 01:17:19.199
The bait has been laid out by the Department of Justice.
01:17:19.359 --> 01:17:21.439
And look, we are hours away from this.
01:17:21.600 --> 01:17:24.640
What time is it as we record this on Wednesday, the 12th?
01:17:25.119 --> 01:17:26.000
20 2006.
01:17:26.239 --> 01:17:27.840
Okay, so there's four hours left.
01:17:28.079 --> 01:17:30.800
There's four hours left for the Department of Justice.
01:17:31.119 --> 01:17:33.760
No, well, they're they're past their chance to to file.
01:17:33.920 --> 01:17:37.439
If they were to file now, the injunction in the state wouldn't happen in time.
01:17:37.760 --> 01:17:52.960
Uh, I but I think it has to do with when the filing is sent in at the last moment, because we talked about the NFA, National Firearms Act, last week and the Fifth Circuit ruling that so many provisions in the National Firearms Act were unconstitutional.
01:17:53.119 --> 01:18:10.880
And now, Caleb, you have a gun shop nationally saying we are putting the DOJ and the FBI on notice that we are going to start selling other for firearms, things like suppressors of this nature, without the stamp, the tax, the whole nine yards.
01:18:11.119 --> 01:18:11.199
Yeah.
01:18:11.359 --> 01:18:14.319
So right now, if you go to buy a suppressor, we'll just stick with suppressors, okay?
01:18:14.479 --> 01:18:19.520
Because the GCA, um, the Gun Control Act, that is separate.
01:18:19.600 --> 01:18:21.439
So we'll stick with just suppressors right now.
01:18:21.520 --> 01:18:21.760
Okay.
01:18:22.000 --> 01:18:33.279
Um, Brandon Herrera, who's running for representative in Texas, and silencer shop is going to open just for him to transfer a silencer to him and one other representative uh via 4473.
01:18:33.439 --> 01:18:36.960
No registration tomorrow or 1201.
01:18:37.199 --> 01:18:38.000
1201 a.m.
01:18:38.159 --> 01:18:40.399
Thursday morning, the 13th of August.
01:18:40.720 --> 01:18:45.439
That's right now, the ATF has until midnight to challenge this.
01:18:45.680 --> 01:18:46.560
They have not.
01:18:46.720 --> 01:18:50.159
They have issued no direction, no white paper to shops on how to handle this.
01:18:50.319 --> 01:18:53.840
And look, there's a lot of stipulations on on what the Fifth Circuit said.
01:18:53.920 --> 01:19:10.159
So the NRA is part of it, the GOA, the Gunnar's America is a part of it, uh, Sonsor Shop Foundation, Sonsor Shop Customers, Sonsor Co-Customers, BT and a few others, and trickle-down customers are a part of that, or the only ones excluded from registration right now.
01:19:10.399 --> 01:19:12.079
I was hoping the ATF would challenge it.
01:19:12.159 --> 01:19:15.760
That way it could go higher, and it would be all across the board.
01:19:16.079 --> 01:19:18.479
So not every shop is part of this.
01:19:18.560 --> 01:19:22.079
And look, Louisiana did not join in on this legislation.
01:19:22.319 --> 01:19:28.880
So the state of Louisiana is not covered, but dealers in Louisiana that meet specific criteria technically are.
01:19:29.199 --> 01:19:30.720
Well, so here's a question.
01:19:30.880 --> 01:19:33.359
Because now you're talking about state law versus federal law.
01:19:33.920 --> 01:19:39.439
Federal law currently regulates suppressors nationwide.
01:19:39.680 --> 01:19:48.880
So the fact that this was ruled on in a federal court would mean that the state, and this is my thought, I'm I'm asking, would it mean that the state of Louisiana boundaries don't matter?
01:19:49.039 --> 01:19:51.840
What matters is the legal ruling from the national court.
01:19:52.560 --> 01:19:57.600
To a degree, Louisiana, Louisiana state law says that they must follow federal law and federal registration.
01:19:57.920 --> 01:20:02.880
So in Louisiana, the attorney general and the NFA branch is the one who authorizes it.
01:20:03.039 --> 01:20:13.199
Without them being authorized or without them having to go through the legal process, technically, you could specific people can do a 4473, a background check, and walk out with a suppressor.
01:20:13.760 --> 01:20:18.159
Gonna be interesting to see who does what with that, what that looks like.
01:20:18.399 --> 01:20:20.880
We will probably continue this conversation.
01:20:20.960 --> 01:20:24.239
We might do some bonus content because we got a ton to go through and it's it's complex.
01:20:24.479 --> 01:20:25.359
Grant has a question.
01:20:25.439 --> 01:20:26.800
We might do that during bonus content.
01:20:26.880 --> 01:20:30.399
We've only got one more segment of Implicit Bias Radio this week, and there's a lot to do.
01:20:30.479 --> 01:20:31.920
So don't go away.
01:20:32.560 --> 01:20:32.800
Mr.
01:20:33.199 --> 01:20:35.840
Miyagi might have been the evil mastermind.
01:20:35.920 --> 01:20:38.399
We're just saying on this week's episode of Implicit Bias Radio.
01:20:38.479 --> 01:20:39.680
I'm your host, Gavon Bordel.
01:20:39.760 --> 01:20:42.640
And as we wrap up hour two of this week's show in the Mr.
01:20:42.720 --> 01:20:48.479
Lester's Top Secret Podcast layer, we've got the Rustic Renegade, our co-host Caleb Morse, at the bar, Grant Galottis of William S.
01:20:48.560 --> 01:20:51.760
Nake Hall Jewelers, otherwise known as K and B or Big Abetta Diamonds for less.
01:20:51.920 --> 01:20:58.800
And Father Taj Glaude, it's always a pleasure to have someone here trying to keep us Catholic and Christian, because with our sense of humor, we definitely need it.
01:20:58.960 --> 01:20:59.279
Okay.
01:20:59.760 --> 01:21:06.880
So I'd never thought about this, and then I saw this theory and I went, man, I guess, I guess I might have been wrong.
01:21:07.039 --> 01:21:13.760
So for Gen Xers, Grant, you and I are probably the ones in the TSPL who remember this the best.
01:21:13.920 --> 01:21:16.079
Father Taj and Caleb were both a little bit younger.
01:21:16.159 --> 01:21:19.039
The production crew is way younger for when this movie came out.
01:21:19.359 --> 01:21:20.079
Show off.
01:21:21.279 --> 01:21:22.800
I'm just old.
01:21:23.520 --> 01:21:27.359
But I remember the karate kid in movie theaters, as you do, Grant, right?
01:21:27.680 --> 01:21:36.880
One of the greatest scenes in movies for me, just the one of the greatest shots in movies is at the end when Daniel Son wins the tournament, and Mr.
01:21:36.960 --> 01:21:38.319
Miyagi doesn't run up.
01:21:38.399 --> 01:21:40.880
He stands in the back and he just smiles and nods.
01:21:40.960 --> 01:21:42.239
And I was thinking, man, it's so cool.
01:21:42.319 --> 01:21:45.039
He's that proud teacher, father figure.
01:21:45.199 --> 01:21:49.039
And then I see the theory and I'm like, holy crap.
01:21:49.359 --> 01:21:50.479
He's freaking Dr.
01:21:50.640 --> 01:21:51.680
Evil standing in the back.
01:21:51.760 --> 01:21:52.960
And I'm like, what is going on here?
01:21:53.039 --> 01:21:55.840
So, Grant, did you watch the video of the theory that Daniel and Mr.
01:21:55.920 --> 01:21:58.479
Miyagi are actually the bad guys in Karate Kid?
01:21:58.720 --> 01:22:00.000
Yeah, I didn't know how to take that.
01:22:00.079 --> 01:22:02.720
It just it came off as very Orwellian to me.
01:22:03.039 --> 01:22:05.279
So I did somebody trying to rewrite history.
01:22:05.359 --> 01:22:09.359
I mean, because no, no, conceptually, this kid moves to town.
01:22:09.439 --> 01:22:18.880
He's he's he's from a a little bit poor socio and economic uh existence, and he goes into this neighborhood where there's a bunch of kids and they're a little bit more privileged.
01:22:18.960 --> 01:22:25.119
And it's it's a very simple story, but the way they carved it out in that video was it was actually make you think about it.
01:22:25.199 --> 01:22:27.279
But here's my here's where chopped up.
01:22:27.439 --> 01:22:30.079
Here's where I looked at it and went, holy smokes, they're right.
01:22:30.239 --> 01:22:38.960
So, first of all, multiple times, multiple times, Johnny tries not to fight Daniel.
01:22:39.439 --> 01:22:40.399
Multiple times.
01:22:40.640 --> 01:22:42.960
He said he was an ex-degenerate now that he's a senior.
01:22:43.039 --> 01:22:43.279
Correct.
01:22:43.439 --> 01:22:44.399
And he was getting his life back on trying.
01:22:44.560 --> 01:22:45.920
He's trying to get his life back on track.
01:22:47.680 --> 01:22:56.960
Daniel attacks him more than once at the bonfire, and instead of him striking Daniel, he uses Daniel's own momentum to let Daniel fall on his face.
01:22:57.119 --> 01:23:05.520
When Daniel then sucker punches him, and at that point, if somebody sucker punched you after you land, let them run themselves into lockers a couple times, you're gonna hit him back?
01:23:05.680 --> 01:23:06.880
You're gonna beat the snot out of him?
01:23:06.960 --> 01:23:07.119
Probably.
01:23:20.000 --> 01:23:24.159
Don't disagree that Johnny might have been going about things the wrong way with regards to the ex.
01:23:24.479 --> 01:23:25.119
Not at all.
01:23:25.359 --> 01:23:32.159
But at the end of the day, think about what Daniel did once Miyagi negotiated that no one would pick on him until the tournament.
01:23:32.399 --> 01:23:33.359
Did he stay to himself?
01:23:33.600 --> 01:23:34.319
No, he provoked.
01:23:34.880 --> 01:23:37.039
He went to them and provoked them.
01:23:37.279 --> 01:23:43.439
The whole reason that Miyagi got involved was because Daniel was in the bathroom, realizes that Johnny's in the other one.
01:23:43.600 --> 01:23:46.000
Does he just leave, which he could have done?
01:23:46.159 --> 01:23:47.520
No, he instigates.
01:23:47.680 --> 01:23:48.960
Daniel's an instigator.
01:23:49.119 --> 01:23:55.039
Daniel is the typical WWE bad guy who, when the ref isn't looking, he's pretending to be the victim.
01:23:55.359 --> 01:23:58.399
Does something to somebody else and then says, I'm the victim.
01:23:58.479 --> 01:23:59.359
You are absolutely right.
01:23:59.600 --> 01:24:02.960
Like, I'm and look, I would not have been convinced of this when I saw the video.
01:24:03.039 --> 01:24:04.720
I was like, holy crap.
01:24:05.039 --> 01:24:05.600
Still not.
01:24:05.840 --> 01:24:07.680
I mean, I felt like Tommy boy.
01:24:07.760 --> 01:24:12.319
Holy snakes! So the first time they beat the snot out of him when they're all dressed like skeletons, if I'm remembering.
01:24:12.560 --> 01:24:14.159
That's not the first time they beat the snot out of him.
01:24:14.239 --> 01:24:18.000
Oh, so there was more than one time that six or seven guys beat up for one kid.
01:24:18.239 --> 01:24:20.720
The first time he got beat up was just Johnny.
01:24:20.800 --> 01:24:24.319
And it was because Johnny had let Daniel attack him more than once.
01:24:24.479 --> 01:24:30.239
Then Daniel sucker punched him after Johnny had stopped engaging in the fight.
01:24:30.319 --> 01:24:35.920
And the and then when he got beat up was when Daniel was at the Halloween dance.
01:24:36.319 --> 01:24:37.600
Daniel sprayed him with a hose.
01:24:37.760 --> 01:24:38.159
Yes.
01:24:38.479 --> 01:24:39.840
And Johnny was like, you know what?
01:24:40.000 --> 01:24:42.479
And every day every time he's outnumbered seven or eight to one.
01:24:42.640 --> 01:24:45.760
So so he's still considered the instigator uh when he's fighting a mob.
01:24:45.920 --> 01:24:48.960
Yeah, you can start a very uh karate-trained mob.
01:24:49.119 --> 01:24:50.079
So here's so here's the thing.
01:24:51.840 --> 01:24:54.319
The whole time, psychologically, he had the upper hand on these kids.
01:24:55.439 --> 01:24:56.319
Just stop it.
01:24:56.560 --> 01:24:57.039
Is it matter?
01:24:57.199 --> 01:24:57.760
Is that loud enough?
01:24:58.000 --> 01:24:59.039
Psychologically, that's good.
01:24:59.439 --> 01:25:02.640
Psychologically, he was playing the game of playing the victim.
01:25:02.880 --> 01:25:04.560
And he was very good at playing the victim.
01:25:04.880 --> 01:25:05.760
Horse pucky.
01:25:06.640 --> 01:25:09.680
And then with an illegal kick, is how he wins the tournament.
01:25:09.760 --> 01:25:10.000
Yep.
01:25:10.079 --> 01:25:10.560
That was beautiful.
01:25:11.119 --> 01:25:11.439
Grant.
01:25:11.680 --> 01:25:12.720
Grant does beautiful.
01:25:13.520 --> 01:25:14.000
That's beautiful.
01:25:14.239 --> 01:25:16.239
Father Glauck wants to chime in on this one.
01:25:16.479 --> 01:25:17.600
This brings up.
01:25:18.000 --> 01:25:18.319
Sorry.
01:25:18.479 --> 01:25:19.199
Take my side.
01:25:22.159 --> 01:25:25.119
This brings up something that's important to understand.
01:25:25.279 --> 01:25:31.760
Because the world has all but obliterated the difference between violence and aggression.
01:25:32.479 --> 01:25:33.600
Because what is aggression?
01:25:33.840 --> 01:25:35.600
Ring the bell, fathers all on this one.
01:25:35.920 --> 01:25:39.119
Aggression, y'all tell me if y'all would agree with me on this.
01:25:39.359 --> 01:25:47.520
Aggression would be deliberately going out of your way with no provocation whatsoever to harm someone simply for the sake of harming them.
01:25:47.840 --> 01:25:48.399
Instigation.
01:25:48.479 --> 01:25:48.560
Okay.
01:25:49.039 --> 01:25:49.920
Instigation, yes.
01:25:50.399 --> 01:26:01.760
And even the Bible affirms that several times that not only are there times when violence can be used, but there are times when violence must be used to stop aggression.
01:26:02.079 --> 01:26:03.600
The Lord your God is a man of war.
01:26:04.319 --> 01:26:05.119
See Grant?
01:26:05.840 --> 01:26:06.399
Daniel?
01:26:06.880 --> 01:26:10.640
Daniel was instigating when he didn't need to be, which means he was the aggressor.
01:26:10.800 --> 01:26:13.039
So look, let's put this in legal terms.
01:26:13.199 --> 01:26:14.720
Let's put this in legal terms.
01:26:15.439 --> 01:26:16.079
Caleb.
01:26:16.239 --> 01:26:16.560
Yes.
01:26:16.800 --> 01:26:19.600
Someone is carrying a concealed weapon standing in a restaurant.
01:26:20.079 --> 01:26:25.760
Someone walks in with a knife in their hand and begins to point it at someone right in front of them as if they might stab them.
01:26:25.920 --> 01:26:26.720
That shows intent.
01:26:26.880 --> 01:26:28.079
They don't ever get there.
01:26:28.640 --> 01:26:34.399
They don't, but the person takes out a weapon and stops someone else from potentially getting stabbed?
01:26:35.039 --> 01:26:36.159
Who's the aggressor?
01:26:36.399 --> 01:26:43.760
Well, criminally, they would be found justified because the person who made the threats was the aggressor and initiated the entire situation.
01:26:44.000 --> 01:26:44.960
Grant, how about this one?
01:26:45.680 --> 01:26:48.159
You remember Will Smith getting killed in New Orleans?
01:26:49.279 --> 01:26:53.359
Remember Will Smith gets into a car accident, guy gets out of the car with a pistol?
01:26:53.600 --> 01:26:54.479
Yes, I remember that.
01:26:54.640 --> 01:26:56.800
No, you said Will Smith, and I'm thinking Fresh Prince.
01:26:56.960 --> 01:26:59.359
No, no, Will Smith, this is New Orleans Saints defensive end.
01:26:59.760 --> 01:27:00.319
Oh, okay.
01:27:00.560 --> 01:27:00.720
Right?
01:27:00.880 --> 01:27:01.039
Okay.
01:27:01.199 --> 01:27:01.600
Near his house.
01:27:01.920 --> 01:27:02.079
Yes.
01:27:02.560 --> 01:27:02.720
Yes.
01:27:03.199 --> 01:27:04.159
Gets into a wreck.
01:27:04.399 --> 01:27:08.000
Guy gets out of his car with a gun in his hand.
01:27:08.880 --> 01:27:15.119
Automatically, regardless of whether Will Smith was yelling at him, saying anything, who's the aggressor?
01:27:15.600 --> 01:27:19.279
The person who took the first action, not the person who said something.
01:27:19.439 --> 01:27:19.600
Yep.
01:27:19.680 --> 01:27:23.760
The person who mechanically, and that firearm is mechanically, initiated the conflict.
01:27:24.239 --> 01:27:25.279
There's the point.
01:27:25.520 --> 01:27:26.560
And look, I'm like you.
01:27:26.640 --> 01:27:29.520
I've always looked at the karate kid and been like, man, Daniel Sun is awesome.
01:27:29.600 --> 01:27:30.960
Daniel Sun is so cool.
01:27:31.199 --> 01:27:34.239
Until the veil is pulled back, and I can't see it any different now.
01:27:36.960 --> 01:27:37.600
Go ahead.
01:27:37.760 --> 01:27:40.560
So Daniel Sun pulled out the first gun, is what you're saying.
01:27:40.800 --> 01:27:41.199
Yes.
01:27:41.439 --> 01:27:42.560
And I guarantee you, Mr.
01:27:42.640 --> 01:27:46.960
Miyagi was nowhere in New Orleans to be found on that scene.
01:27:47.119 --> 01:27:47.840
I guarantee it.
01:27:48.079 --> 01:27:48.239
Mr.
01:27:48.319 --> 01:27:48.800
Miyagi.
01:27:49.279 --> 01:27:57.279
Look, it did this just told me that you can you can take a situation and cut it up however you want to in order to try and dissuade someone from their actual opinion.
01:27:57.600 --> 01:27:59.119
Well, there are three sides to every story.
01:27:59.359 --> 01:28:01.439
Your side, their side, and the truth, right?
01:28:02.000 --> 01:28:02.880
No one ever admits.
01:28:03.520 --> 01:28:04.960
I've seen you laughing throughout this whole story.
01:28:06.159 --> 01:28:08.399
You can't tell me that this is not this doesn't humorous.
01:28:08.640 --> 01:28:10.239
It doesn't have a very Orwellian twinge to it.
01:28:10.399 --> 01:28:19.920
The way you try and take a very simple story with a good premise where the kid's outnumbered, he's from an impoverished situation, and he actually is victorious over these people who were tormenting him.
01:28:20.159 --> 01:28:22.479
But I think it also shows that no one is innocent.
01:28:22.800 --> 01:28:24.239
And therein lies the big thing.
01:28:24.399 --> 01:28:27.119
Daniel's not innocent in this whole situation.
01:28:28.319 --> 01:28:29.439
Which is the worst part.
01:28:29.520 --> 01:28:33.279
Because Grant, we all try Star Wars, take Star Wars.
01:28:34.159 --> 01:28:39.600
If you look at Star Wars, the entire premise from the side of Law and Order.
01:28:40.239 --> 01:28:41.680
Wait, that's two different shows, right?
01:28:42.000 --> 01:28:42.640
Two very different movies.
01:28:42.880 --> 01:28:44.560
Okay, rewrite Star Wars and Law and Order.
01:28:45.119 --> 01:28:46.399
What was incorrect about Star Wars?
01:28:46.560 --> 01:28:47.600
Law and Order is being established.
01:28:47.920 --> 01:28:51.199
I mean, that was a pretty clear line between Darth Vader and Darth Vader, bad, Luke Skywalker.
01:28:51.439 --> 01:28:51.680
So hold on.
01:28:52.239 --> 01:28:54.479
First off in Star Wars, it's really hard to get beamed up, right?
01:28:54.640 --> 01:28:56.079
Yes, that's Star Trek.
01:28:56.399 --> 01:29:06.479
So think about it this way: Law and Order is about to be established in the galaxy because there had been years of war prior to this, and all of a sudden you have a band of terrorists who start popping up and destroying things where they should.
01:29:07.840 --> 01:29:10.960
That's that's it's all in the perspective, is the point.
01:29:11.119 --> 01:29:14.319
And the big point here is that I just got given the finger.
01:29:14.640 --> 01:29:16.079
That's the one-minute finger, not that finger.
01:29:16.239 --> 01:29:17.760
Good, it saves me the trouble.
01:29:18.800 --> 01:29:22.239

01:29:22.319 --> 01:29:23.119
