I don't like counting, to be honest. I mean, who's counting? In principle, I'm against it. What's the fee if I forget something?
uh kicking the balls yeah well who gets kicked in whose balls you have to take a kick in the ball no i'm not doing that yeah you have to take one that's what we do here yeah bro kicking the ball is pretty bad yeah it's not great so one of our uh one of our mutual fans was talking on twitter the other day about who would win in a fight between you and me between you and me yeah and i was like i'd just start tickling him and then i would win
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, so that's why, you know. I'm not either.
You know, just living the dream. Yeah. Enjoying Texas.
Jared and those guys are down there. Yeah. And Black Ruff was HQ. One of their HQs is down there. But yeah, we're up in Austin. It's barely in Austin. It's like on the... Outskirts, yeah. Yeah, it's like on the... Maybe three or four miles away from the city line. Yeah. Something like that. Yeah.
It is nice. Yeah, we still get hit with our fucking property taxes. Really? Yeah, we paid $30,000 in property taxes there.
Laurel, no, they have one up north. That's a good question. I don't know. It's Austin. I forget the name of it. It was fucking delicious. Wait. Switch.
The other one I mentioned, Interstellar, is a little bit farther north. Further, farther, farther north. And they have a Michelin star for barbecue. So next time you're in town, go there. No shit. It's not easy to get a Michelin star for barbecue.
Jesus.
Yeah, it's hard. I mean, you can't get away with bad barbecue in Texas. Somebody will show up to your house.
So what's been going on, man? You know, I hate the government. Mostly I start from there and work my way out. You know what? This is why we have so much in common.
I have a, so I, I should get a second sign. I have a sign in front of my, it's on my dresser in front of where I sleep. And it says, it's not about you. That's my life motto. Life's not about you. Right. It's about what you, what value you bring. And it's a good reminder when I wake up and I feel like I don't want to get out, get out of bed or whatever. I'm like, no, fuck you. Yeah.
It's not your turn. But it'll be your turn. It'll be my turn when I'm old. Then I can fucking lounge around and look on all the good stuff I've done and whatever the fuck. But another one I should get made, another sign I should get made is something about the government sucking or something. Fuck the government or something.
I don't know because no matter what it is, no matter what system of government happens, it always and invariably turns into an engine to extract labor and wealth from the population. That's all it ever is, right?
I mean, it's a top-down approach. When we were supposed to be... I mean, the letter of the law, the Constitution, is quite clear that it's supposed to be a bottom-up organization. And, you know... I don't remember who originally said it. It could have been Ron Paul or Murray Rothbard or someone like that, but it's when the state is large, the individual is small.
And the point of America is that individual liberty and personal entrepreneurship are the ultimate inoculation to tyrannical bullshit. Decentralized authority, decentralized economic authority especially, keeps the government from amassing too much power. We talked about this
before the show but 25 of all new jobs last two years have been government jobs and the government doesn't make anything they don't make money right um so we're we're basically i'm sure you've seen companies like this before that poor oh well the american university system is the best place to look so the average uh this data is from like 2018 so i'm not sure how current it is still but it's probably way worse than this now actually because of dei but
The average professor's salary relative to inflation has gone up about 27% over the past 40 years. And the administrative fees associated with an education have gone up 2,000%, right? And that's bureaucracy. It happens in business and it happens in government. It doesn't matter. And it fails no matter where it happens, always.
It has to fail because the bulk of your enterprise should be producing something of value. And if it isn't, then you're going to fail. Yeah. The end. I mean, this is like Keynesian versus Austrian economics or anything like that. It's not like two different houses of economic theory talking to each other. This is just a fucking fact that everybody knows is true.
