00:00:22.237 --> 00:00:28.701
Intro button, welcome back.
00:00:28.701 --> 00:00:29.121
That's right.
00:00:29.121 --> 00:00:34.973
Despite budget cuts, public outcry and several cease and desist letters, the MT Alternative Podcast has somehow clawed its way back for season two.
00:00:34.973 --> 00:00:41.043
Now, for those of you who survived season one, first off, congratulations.
00:00:41.043 --> 00:00:44.966
You've endured more nonsense than a congressional hearing.
00:00:44.966 --> 00:00:48.029
And for the newcomers, buckle up.
00:00:48.029 --> 00:01:06.552
This is the show where our two fearless, semi-qualified hosts, mike and Tom, dive headfirst into the world's biggest questions, armed only with dubious research, strong opinions and just enough common sense to keep us from getting sued.
00:01:06.552 --> 00:01:09.388
So what's in store for season two?
00:01:09.388 --> 00:01:12.748
Will Mike finally admit he was wrong about that thing?
00:01:12.748 --> 00:01:17.469
From episode four, will Tom learn how to fact check before recording?
00:01:17.469 --> 00:01:22.941
Will we at any point attempt professionalism Spoiler?
00:01:22.941 --> 00:01:26.585
No, all of that and more coming up.
00:01:26.585 --> 00:01:34.611
So sit back, lower your expectations and prepare for another season of the mt alternative podcast.
00:01:34.611 --> 00:01:39.841
And if you're listening to this at work, just nod like you're in a serious meeting.
00:01:39.841 --> 00:01:41.403
We won't tell.
00:01:41.423 --> 00:01:53.810
I mean literally almost every day lately, yeah, and that's why we haven't been on for a little bit.
00:01:53.810 --> 00:01:54.010
Yeah.
00:02:08.801 --> 00:02:10.247
It's like a roller coaster at work.
00:02:10.247 --> 00:02:18.028
I mean, one day, one week, you're wide open and don't have time to do anything, and then the next week you're twiddling your thumb.
00:02:18.762 --> 00:02:20.808
So we do have quite a bit to talk about.
00:02:21.379 --> 00:02:22.782
Yeah, since it's been a while.
00:02:22.802 --> 00:02:24.346
Yeah, things have happened.
00:02:24.346 --> 00:02:26.509
Wow, lots of things.
00:02:26.509 --> 00:02:33.620
We have lots of topics and the football season kind of sucked for me.
00:02:34.401 --> 00:02:35.447
You guys made the playoffs.
00:02:35.447 --> 00:02:40.358
That's a big difference from last year.
00:02:40.358 --> 00:02:40.854
We were only supposed to win five games.
00:02:40.724 --> 00:02:41.801
We won ten and we beat the mighty Kansas City Chiefs.
00:02:41.801 --> 00:02:41.911
We won four.
00:02:42.752 --> 00:02:43.593
And we beat the mighty Kansas.
00:02:43.614 --> 00:02:44.014
City Chiefs.
00:02:44.014 --> 00:02:46.699
We were supposed to win six games, we won four.
00:02:46.699 --> 00:02:49.969
But there is hope for next season.
00:02:50.419 --> 00:02:51.945
There's always next season.
00:02:52.508 --> 00:02:52.788
Sucks.
00:02:52.788 --> 00:02:56.591
See, as a Patriot fan, people are going to say, oh, you had 20 seasons.
00:02:56.591 --> 00:03:00.838
I was a Patriot fan before this, so I sat through shitty-ass seasons.
00:03:01.281 --> 00:03:09.668
I sat through the 1-15, 2-14, broad rust era From 1977 with the Broncos.
00:03:09.668 --> 00:03:14.710
The 90s were our best seasons.
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:16.186
So I kind of get it on that.
00:03:16.186 --> 00:03:20.741
But hey, looking forward, we've got a new coach, so things are going to hopefully look a little better.
00:03:20.741 --> 00:03:21.887
We'll see how the draft goes.
00:03:22.139 --> 00:03:23.847
We went from number one to number four.
00:03:23.847 --> 00:03:28.461
And now there's teams that's never really been that kind of showed up this year.
00:03:28.481 --> 00:03:30.088
It was exciting.
00:03:30.088 --> 00:03:34.008
Daniels from Washington, that rookie quarterback, pretty impressive.
00:03:34.008 --> 00:03:35.866
I mean kudos to them.
00:03:35.866 --> 00:03:38.207
They made it right to the NFC championship game.
00:03:38.207 --> 00:03:41.728
Kansas City and the refs.
00:03:42.881 --> 00:03:44.387
Yeah, the Kansas City refs.
00:03:44.447 --> 00:03:48.527
Yeah, all hail Patrick Mahomes.
00:03:48.699 --> 00:03:52.487
Let's make this clear they are not a Kansas team.
00:03:52.487 --> 00:03:55.060
They are from Missouri.
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:57.729
You want to make sure you stress that I do.
00:03:57.748 --> 00:04:01.026
Okay, only greatness comes from Kansas.
00:04:01.026 --> 00:04:04.484
Right, right, you travel across the river.
00:04:04.484 --> 00:04:11.217
There's junk steel mills, they're all them, steel yards and everything, and if you've ever been, the city of st louis.
00:04:11.217 --> 00:04:24.685
There's nothing that great either yeah, st louis is different than kansas city yeah, but my point is missouri yeah once you cross that bridge in kansas city.
00:04:24.725 --> 00:04:38.958
When you're going from Kansas City Kansas, which is all nice homes and businesses and everything and you cross that river, it becomes a big iron graveyard.
00:04:38.958 --> 00:04:43.331
I mean, it's nothing but iron and metal and junk everywhere Factories.
00:04:43.331 --> 00:04:43.630
It looks awful.
00:04:43.630 --> 00:04:44.814
Do you know where the stadiums are in this area?
00:04:44.814 --> 00:04:46.939
Nothing but iron and metal and junk everywhere, factories.
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:49.869
It looks awful, and this is where the stadiums are in this area.
00:04:50.180 --> 00:04:51.766
Well, it's on through.
00:04:51.766 --> 00:04:55.711
You've got to go on kind of outskirt-ish to get to the stadiums.
00:04:55.711 --> 00:05:01.733
But yeah, both stadiums are side-by-side the Royals and the Chiefs.
00:05:01.733 --> 00:05:05.629
Okay, but technically they are Missouri teams.
00:05:06.961 --> 00:05:10.267
I knew that, but well, didn't know about it.
00:05:10.267 --> 00:05:12.367
I didn't know there was a Kansas City Kansas.
00:05:13.982 --> 00:05:16.819
Yeah, that river separates the states.
00:05:16.819 --> 00:05:18.266
That's what blew my mind, yeah.
00:05:18.660 --> 00:05:21.024
But anyways, let's see what else we have.
00:05:21.024 --> 00:05:25.206
Our president sitting now, yeah yeah, still trying to screw over.
00:05:25.682 --> 00:05:27.148
Yeah, they won't quit.
00:05:27.148 --> 00:05:36.089
I mean, it's like Not to get too deep, but it's like God Can't beat him, so they're going to beat him up.
00:05:36.541 --> 00:05:37.507
Yeah, there you go.
00:05:37.507 --> 00:05:41.579
So whatever Well whatever they're doing isn't really working.
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:42.384
No, it isn't.
00:05:42.384 --> 00:05:44.624
And the wildfires.
00:05:44.923 --> 00:05:45.906
Wildfires, let's see.
00:05:45.906 --> 00:05:47.709
We had no, it isn't and the wildfires, Wildfires.
00:05:47.709 --> 00:05:47.990
Let's see.
00:05:47.990 --> 00:05:49.413
We had the hurricanes this past fall.
00:05:49.413 --> 00:05:50.396
We had the wildfires.
00:05:52.060 --> 00:05:53.673
We had wildfires in North Carolina and the mountains again Same place.
00:05:53.596 --> 00:05:54.156
They got hammered with Helena.
00:05:54.156 --> 00:05:56.507
I mean not as big as the fires in California.
00:05:57.339 --> 00:05:58.584
But you know, think about it.
00:05:58.906 --> 00:05:59.829
All this yeah.
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.665
People are already homeless Planes crashing.
00:06:03.326 --> 00:06:05.189
Now this has been bugging me.
00:06:05.189 --> 00:06:05.971
I keep seeing this.
00:06:05.971 --> 00:06:09.562
A missile hit in Pennsylvania People.
00:06:09.562 --> 00:06:12.531
There's a wing with a light flashing as the plane's coming down.
00:06:12.531 --> 00:06:15.920
Pilots are known to go straight down Nosedive.
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.930
Now, if you're nosediving, it's not just going to float down like a piece of paper either.
00:06:20.620 --> 00:06:21.524
We're talking a jet.
00:06:21.524 --> 00:06:23.045
Yeah, it doesn't float, they're a jet.
00:06:23.086 --> 00:06:24.678
We're talking a jet, yeah, a jet, correct, it doesn't float A jet.
00:06:24.699 --> 00:06:27.627
Yeah, I mean, they're traveling at a high speed.
00:06:27.627 --> 00:06:29.612
I mean, it really is the whole thing sucks.
00:06:30.762 --> 00:06:32.569
I mean the worst part about the whole.
00:06:32.608 --> 00:06:32.730
Thing.
00:06:33.740 --> 00:06:34.906
Geez, all this weird stuff.
00:06:35.100 --> 00:06:41.528
A girl that has beaten the odds of cancer Right Died senselessly in a crash.
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.348
I mean there's just lots to talk about.
00:06:44.348 --> 00:06:47.226
Lots going on, that's for sure.
00:06:47.226 --> 00:06:51.107
I mean, yeah, geez, but miss a little, miss a lot at times.
00:06:51.581 --> 00:06:53.146
Yeah, it's wide open now.
00:06:53.165 --> 00:06:54.048
Work's been killer.
00:06:54.500 --> 00:06:55.163
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:56.721 --> 00:06:57.644
Got stuff coming in.
00:06:57.644 --> 00:06:58.629
Don't know where it's going.
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:00.261
Yeah, we got stuff everywhere.
00:07:00.261 --> 00:07:06.605
I have never seen a company who could put 16 pounds of crap in a two-pound bag.
00:07:06.925 --> 00:07:08.526
But they're sure as hell trying, aren't they?
00:07:08.666 --> 00:07:10.447
Yeah, oh, but.
00:07:10.848 --> 00:07:12.069
Let us reconfigure.
00:07:12.108 --> 00:07:14.951
Yeah, because, see, I was all safe and everything.
00:07:14.951 --> 00:07:16.872
And thinking I was like what are we going to do?
00:07:16.872 --> 00:07:21.815
But now I'm calm because I saw the leader of the maintenance crew.
00:07:22.276 --> 00:07:22.656
Right.
00:07:22.956 --> 00:07:24.658
Out on the floor measuring.
00:07:25.779 --> 00:07:27.031
Well, they're going to get a building stretcher.
00:07:27.050 --> 00:07:30.067
That's what they're looking for oh, are they looking to buy one of those?
00:07:30.459 --> 00:07:30.983
Stretch the building.
00:07:31.043 --> 00:07:32.663
I have a friend that went into those.
00:07:32.663 --> 00:07:34.464
He probably could give them a good deal.
00:07:35.009 --> 00:07:36.461
With the big tape measures.
00:07:37.706 --> 00:07:38.187
I'll tell you.
00:07:38.300 --> 00:07:39.043
Let's be honest.
00:07:39.043 --> 00:07:42.341
Do you think anything's going to be done within the next six months to a year?
00:07:42.341 --> 00:07:44.747
They measured, that's it, it's done.
00:07:44.987 --> 00:07:47.093
Yeah, they're out on the floor to be seen.
00:07:47.220 --> 00:07:50.329
Well, let's tear this all apart now while you get all this crap on the floor.
00:07:50.329 --> 00:07:51.423
So you really have no room.
00:07:51.444 --> 00:07:51.786
Yeah, there's.
00:07:51.786 --> 00:07:56.591
It's almost like a pizza party for a bonus.
00:07:56.591 --> 00:08:00.266
We're sitting on a mountain of money.
00:08:00.286 --> 00:08:11.627
You know, here's some pizza, thank you, I was kind of like pissed off about that whole situation until I found out, lisa was the one that bought all those.
00:08:11.747 --> 00:08:12.954
She purchased those herself, yeah, yeah.
00:08:13.497 --> 00:08:15.622
That's so, of course.
00:08:15.622 --> 00:08:22.288
Yeah, I felt guilty, but now it's more appreciated that someone did, but well, that just shows you how cheap the company makes.
00:08:23.982 --> 00:08:24.704
It's like teachers.
00:08:24.704 --> 00:08:26.605
School teachers are the same way, Mike.
00:08:27.309 --> 00:08:27.509
Yeah.
00:08:28.362 --> 00:08:30.629
These poor teachers are out there on a budget.
00:08:30.629 --> 00:08:34.989
Their classroom is barely enough to you know.
00:08:34.989 --> 00:08:36.010
Keep up.
00:08:36.010 --> 00:08:36.832
Yeah, I understand.
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:38.826
But they buy a lot of stuff.
00:08:38.826 --> 00:08:40.322
Let's back up Teachers.
00:08:40.322 --> 00:08:41.746
Have an awesome union too.
00:08:42.048 --> 00:08:42.448
They do.
00:08:42.448 --> 00:08:44.480
Now I do agree.
00:08:44.900 --> 00:08:49.269
And I hate to say this, but most of them are pretty much leftists.
00:08:49.269 --> 00:08:52.206
They are so you know what you voted, the way you did.
00:08:52.206 --> 00:08:53.585
This is how it goes.
00:08:53.820 --> 00:08:57.226
Yep, yep, I'm sorry, but it still doesn't make sense.
00:08:57.259 --> 00:09:00.409
Let's realize what kind of people are teaching these kids nowadays.
00:09:00.409 --> 00:09:02.067
These aren't your normal people.
00:09:02.067 --> 00:09:04.024
These aren't teachers of the old days.
00:09:04.024 --> 00:09:07.753
I didn't know my teacher's sexual orientation when I was in school.
00:09:07.753 --> 00:09:09.326
That wasn't discussed.
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:15.443
We discussed this in an earlier podcast about my last teacher, but it just brings back up all this.
00:09:15.885 --> 00:09:19.148
But have you noticed Things are starting to drift back the other way.
00:09:19.148 --> 00:09:20.504
A little more normalcy.
00:09:20.644 --> 00:09:23.562
A little bit, but here's what I get.
00:09:23.562 --> 00:09:30.955
I mean, I understand that they voted that way and everything.
00:09:30.955 --> 00:09:38.434
Here's what gets me, though All of the states that have passed this educational lottery.
00:09:38.434 --> 00:09:41.085
Where's all that money going, yeah?
00:09:41.085 --> 00:09:43.030
That money going.
00:09:43.030 --> 00:09:53.486
There's no reason that anybody in the public school system should have any wants or needs With as much money.
00:09:53.486 --> 00:09:55.703
Do research.
00:09:55.703 --> 00:10:00.428
How much money do you think a state is pulling down in lottery tickets?
00:10:02.950 --> 00:10:03.519
I have no idea.
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.990
And the states that have legalized cannabis.
00:10:06.990 --> 00:10:09.849
They're way ahead of the game.
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:12.581
Well, some states do it better than others.
00:10:12.581 --> 00:10:13.546
Look at California.
00:10:13.546 --> 00:10:15.888
They've been legal in there and where's all that money going?
00:10:16.100 --> 00:10:18.259
Yeah, well, we've seen where that money's going.
00:10:18.299 --> 00:10:19.143
They pretty much shit on everybody.
00:10:19.183 --> 00:10:20.562
We see where that money's going to.
00:10:20.562 --> 00:10:21.404
The high class Yep.
00:10:21.404 --> 00:10:22.288
Political people Look at what's-his-face.
00:10:22.288 --> 00:10:22.909
Newsom.
00:10:22.929 --> 00:10:23.552
He's going to the high class.
00:10:23.572 --> 00:10:23.633
Yep.
00:10:23.653 --> 00:10:24.836
Political people.
00:10:24.836 --> 00:10:25.460
What's his face?
00:10:25.460 --> 00:10:28.004
Newsome spends more money on a hair gel.
00:10:30.250 --> 00:10:30.812
Exactly.
00:10:30.912 --> 00:10:31.572
He's a phony.
00:10:32.760 --> 00:10:34.004
He's a big phony.
00:10:34.486 --> 00:10:35.188
He really is.
00:10:35.188 --> 00:10:38.346
A nut job.
00:10:39.620 --> 00:10:47.293
But uh, yeah, I just think it's interesting to see all this stuff out there and the rabbit holes and stuff you go down.
00:10:47.293 --> 00:10:57.272
Oh, if you add up this date when this thing happened at 9-11, when you go up there, when you fold a dollar this way, it's got this.
00:10:57.272 --> 00:10:59.125
Yeah, those things happen.
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:06.410
Some things I can kind of go with, like back to 9-11.
00:11:06.410 --> 00:11:08.735
I'm at the BBC.
00:11:08.735 --> 00:11:14.171
Here's another thing I ended up finding out, and it's true because you go back on tape.
00:11:14.171 --> 00:11:18.051
Bbc said Tower 7 has fallen.
00:11:18.051 --> 00:11:22.389
The lady's saying that Tower 7's right behind her.
00:11:22.389 --> 00:11:24.625
Not until a half hour later, tower 7 fell.
00:11:25.850 --> 00:11:26.091
Huh.
00:11:28.081 --> 00:11:30.106
I have to show you this after this clip.
00:11:30.548 --> 00:11:31.171
That's crazy.
00:11:31.171 --> 00:11:32.243
I don't want to pause right now.
00:11:32.283 --> 00:11:48.062
But this is another rabbit, these rabbit holes we got and going back to 9-11, because you brought it up, firemen heard what do they call the when they're blowing something up, when they literally?
00:11:48.361 --> 00:11:49.544
there's a controlled.
00:11:50.407 --> 00:11:53.884
It's that pop, pop, pop as things go up.
00:11:53.884 --> 00:11:56.210
That's what they heard in one of those towers.
00:11:56.210 --> 00:11:58.565
Yeah, how do something go?
00:11:58.565 --> 00:12:00.072
How do they come down straight?
00:12:00.072 --> 00:12:11.238
Yeah, because when you're demolishing something, that's what it's meant to do the whole building falls upon itself this is where I always had a problem with it?
00:12:12.823 --> 00:12:13.245
how does a?
00:12:13.265 --> 00:12:21.990
building burn like that all steel, so it just perfectly comes right down straight ok, let's take jet fuel.
00:12:22.647 --> 00:12:26.639
Jet fuel is supposedly burns the hottest at any fuel.
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:32.273
Okay, I also know someone whose vehicle is with jet fuel.
00:12:32.273 --> 00:12:34.647
There was still a frame there.
00:12:34.647 --> 00:12:36.424
There was still a.
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:39.808
Just a whole building went down because of it too.
00:12:39.808 --> 00:12:44.964
Yeah, no, well, it melted the steel, not all the way down, it did Not all the way down.
00:12:44.964 --> 00:12:46.687
Yes, I melted the steel, not all the way down, it did Not all the way down.
00:12:46.687 --> 00:12:47.408
Yes, I understand the problem.
00:12:47.408 --> 00:12:49.150
Wait, I could see building falling this way.
00:12:49.150 --> 00:12:50.875
Yeah, I don't know.
00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:52.662
I don't see.
00:12:52.662 --> 00:12:54.285
And once again there's that.
00:12:54.285 --> 00:12:57.352
You know who's right, who's wrong.
00:12:57.493 --> 00:12:57.712
Right.
00:12:58.562 --> 00:13:00.208
Let's not confuse this, okay.
00:13:00.208 --> 00:13:06.676
Everybody says well, when we had to wear a mask and the mandate came out, we had to wear a mask and this and that.
00:13:06.676 --> 00:13:09.168
Well, now everybody's like, well, they were wrong.
00:13:09.168 --> 00:13:14.989
No, they were not wrong, they lied to us the whole time.
