We're jumping into this Friday edition of the Sports Mag Zone with football. It's official, the groups have been drawn for the 2024 edition of the Copa America, which will be held in the United States. Let's take a look. All right, so we have in Group A Argentina Peru, Chile, of course, Canada and Trinidad still have to battle to decide who takes that fourth spot. Let's move along now to Group B. Jamaica, Mexico, Ecuador and Venezuela. Group C, USA, Uruguay, Panama, Bolivia. Who's in Group D? Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay and that match between Honduras and Costa Rica. Well, the reggae boys earned the right to play in the competition following their remarkable come from behind victory against Canada in November to also book a spot in the Conquer Cap nation's league semi-finals. And their head coach, Jaime Hall Grimmsen, seemed dissatisfied with the group. It's tough teams, really all the three teams, if I can say something similar to them all is that they are competitive, really hardworking, tackling, enthusiastic football all of these nations play, so it's all tough opponents, but I think it's quite an equal group. So meaning that I don't think any team will be a runaway winner in this with nine points. I think all teams will have a chance against each other, so quite an equal group. It is not a team that everybody can take for granted they are going to win and it's not a team that will be a runaway winner. So in that sense, if we prepare well and get our points, we will always have a chance to progress from this group. All right, Ricardo, so we just heard from head coach of the Jamaica reggae boys, Jaime Hall Grimmsen, discussing the group that Jamaica has been drawn in and of course saying that, you know, as much as he described it as an equal group, he thinks it's competitive and there are no teams that you can take for granted. And it's going to be a practice 2024 for the Jamaica reggae boys and I'm eager, Ricardo, to see how they are able to manage themselves, their fitness, all of these matches, their practices and just get the best out of them. Yeah, for sure. What is for sure is that when it comes to Copa America, there was never going to be an easy group, especially for a team like Jamaica. Having said that, this is probably the best that the reggae boys could have asked for to avoid the giants of South American football, not to be in a group with Argentina, not to be in a group with Brazil, not to be in a group with Colombia as much as they have been struggling. And so I think Mexico, Venezuela, Ecuador, the coach is right. It is a balanced group. And if the reggae boys continue to improve, because as far as I'm concerned, Mariah, in my estimation, this reggae boys set up is still, I don't want to say the initial stages, but there are nowhere close, in my opinion, to where they want to get to and to where they have the potential to get to. And so when by the time the Copa America comes around, I would expect that they would be significantly improved from where they are now and somewhere a lot closer to where they ultimately want to get. So it is a pretty good draw. Of course, if the reggae boys finish second in that group, then they are likely to go on to play Argentina at the quarterfinal stage of the competition. Of course, Argentina fully well expected to top their group A. And that is assuming that all of that goes to plan. But listen, this is a tournament and it's a long way away. It almost makes no sense trying to preview what's going to happen at this stage, because so much can happen between now and when the tournament comes around in June and July.  If in fact it didn't put the draw in to disrepute. Jamaica originally, by the way, drawn in group C. They were then shifted to group D, which was a massive mistake. And the shift occurred because there is a rule as per the competition that you can't have more than two Conker-Caff teams in a group and you can't have more than three Conmeable teams in a group. And when the reggae boys were placed in group C that contravened that rule. And so they were mistakenly moved to D when all that should have happened is that they should have been switched with Bolivia, who were placed, by the way, in arrow in group B, because it had been stated before the start of the draw that Bolivia could only be in group C. And the arrows just kept going and to make matters worse when the Jamaicans were placed in group D with Brazil and Paraguay and Colombia, the official Conneable X page tweeted that group. And so everyone became confused. They had to change it. They had to do the draw all over again. And finally they got it right and Jamaica ended up in group B, but really bizarre. And you don't expect those types of arrows, Mariah, at that level. This is the corporate America tournament outside of the euros. You would have to say that this is the biggest continental tournament in the world of football, and it was really disappointing. And in many cases, shocking to see what happened last night at the draw that they could make so many arrows in trying to arrive at the four groups for the tournament. Yeah, it looked really, really messy. And for me, as you said, a competition that is so reputable like the Copa America. When you think about any competition organized on this level, you expect the draw to be seamless. You expect everybody to be on par to know exactly what you're doing. But yesterday, even I was confused looking on because at a point, Ricardo, I was like, are you going to do it over? Is it that, you know, we're going to just move the entire draw? Because it just looked as if they didn't know what they were doing. Yeah, they were just making mistake after mistake. Thankfully, they eventually got it right. And I guess they say all's well, that ends well. And in this case, we now know the four groups. A word on Trinidad and Tobago, though, because this is a fantastic opportunity for the soca warriors to get to Copa America as well. It will not be easy because they play Canada, who have quality, who I'm sure will be immensely disappointed by the fact that they let a lead slip against the reggae boys and did not qualify automatically. But Angus Eve and his men will be thinking, we just beat the United States of America on home soil. And maybe we can take this Canadian team when we meet on the 23rd of March. So, a tremendous opportunity for Trinidad and Tobago's football to take another step forward, and they have taken a few forward steps in the last few months. And hopefully they will continue on that trajectory. But it's all the way in March. So much more football to come before we even get there. So as I said, sometimes it doesn't even make sense trying to preview these things months in advance. Yeah, because so much will change. It's not even a matter of if or what, a lot will change between no and when the Copa America comes around. A lot will change between no and when Trinidad and Tobago will have to play Canada in their playoff game on the 23rd of March. Yeah, you know, you commented on Trinidad and Tobago and I have to say for after a long time, I mean, since I joined the show, there was nothing really to talk about in a positive light. We were speaking about normalization committee. We were speaking about so many of the field issues. Ricardo, that to me, I sit here to get today looking at the draw, looking at the groups and really thinking, you know, Trinidad and Tobago football has finally reached a state where we can speak about the football, we can speak about positive things. And I really and truly hope that the team can overcome Canada and they can get into the Copa America. Because, as you said, it's a step in the right direction and for quite some time, a country and a team that has been celebrated on the larger scale, has been seen as one of the bigger footballing teams has, you know, gone through a lot. So for me, I have to say, you know, I'm very, very proud of what Angus Eve has. He's taken this team and he's brought them to this level. And I hope that, you know, they can continue along that path and we don't have any more hiccups going forward. Yeah, and I know Angus Eve has his detractors as you get so often at this level of sport and not just football, but some would say, especially football, and he sure does have his detractors, but he's done a brilliant job with this team, with limited. I don't want to be disrespectful to the players, but he's had in comparison to, let's say, the reggae boys with what they have to work with a number of players playing in England, across Europe, in the United States of America, in the MLS and so on. He does not have that depth in quality. And what he's done with what he has has been quite commendable. And he has put Trinidad and Tobago's football on the right track again. And that's fantastic. So hopefully they can put in another performance come March that they can be proud of, win or lose. Yeah, I agree. And I think it's something to build from whenever things positive starts happening, that's something to look forward to. And I think right now, the confidence of the Trinidad and Tobago soca warriors are very high, especially as you mentioned, after the win against USA on home soil, reggae boys beat Canada. So Trinidad and Tobago will be thinking, OK, so what strategy the day apply? You know, how can we break down this Canada team? And it would feel as if the task at hand is not impossible, Ricardo. And I think that's a start when you feel as if you can get the job done. And I get that from this group of players that have listened to the interviews have listened to coach. There is that inner confidence. They're beaming with excitement and they feel as if they can get a job done. And I think it's not beyond them. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but what we've seen from the players, it is not impossible. We're going to go take a break. All right, Ricardo says it's break time.

My subject is why are the Jews so smart? But before giving you some answers to this question, there are a few preliminary questions which I need to discuss. Namely, are the Jews smart? Are all the Jews smart, or only some of them? And can we quantify the smartness of the Jews by intelligence questions? So I will deal with these questions first. In the historical times, up to the 19th century, no one in Europe had much interest in whether the Jews were smart or not. The Jews lived in self-contained communities, generally ghettos in regions of cities where they were confined, and they were not allowed to enter the professions or the skilled trades. They were largely confined to dealing in second-hand goods and in money lending. And they spoke Yiddish, so Gentiles were not readily able to communicate with them. They had not produced any people of distinction with the exception of Spinoza. So there was no reason to suppose that the Jews were smart. This changed in the early years of the 19th century after the Jews were emancipated over most of Europe by Napoleon in 1812. They were permitted to enter Gentile society and enter various occupations which they did, and generally initially they entered banking. In the early years of the 19th century, it began to become evident to people that the Jews are indeed smart. Here in England, David Ricardo published his book on the principles of political economy and taxation, which was well received and more spectacularly, Nathan Rothschild, who established the Rothschild Bank in London, made a spectacular financial killing in 1815 at the time of the Battle of Waterloo. People in the financial world in London were well aware that if we lost, we the British lost the battle, the value of shares would go down, but if we won the battle, the value of shares would go up. So the outcome of the battle was eagerly awaited. Nathan Rothschild got there first by the use of a carrier pigeon who conveyed the news of our victory at Waterloo to him, and he promptly sold all his shares. The news spread rapidly through the city of London. Everyone said, good gracious, Rothschild knows that we've lost, sell. And so large numbers of people sold, the shares plummeted, and when Rothschild's judge stayed bottomed out, he bought a great number of them and made a very substantial amount of money. It was a very shrewd and smart operation, although perhaps slightly dishonest. During the rest of the century, Jews became increasingly prominent in Britain. Remarkably, a Jew, Benjamin Disraeli, became Prime Minister in 1874, and a very remarkable achievement for a Jew in a country where there was a certain amount of anti-Semitism as there was throughout Europe. And it was not only in Britain that Jews became successful. They were successful in many countries in Europe. Rothschild's banks were established in the major financial centres in Paris, Naples, Vienna, and Frankfurt. And other Jewish banks, notably the Kleinworts, were established in Berlin. And it was not only in banking that smart Jews began to appear. In music, they included Mayerbeer, Mendelssohn, Mahler, and in political economy, Karl Marx. By the middle of the decades of the century, people began to note the intelligence of the Jews in written publications. It was noted in Britain by Francis Galton, the cousin of Charles Darwin, in his book Hereditary Genius of 1869, in which he estimated IQs of various peoples and noted that the Jews and the Chinese have a high intelligence. It was noted by the Count de Gobineau in France who maintained that the Jews and the Aryans were the two most intelligent peoples, a view which was taken on board by Hitler and set out in his main camp. And it was noted in the United States by Mark Twain. And this became widely accepted throughout Europe and the United States. With the invention of the intelligence test in 1905 by Alfred Binet in Paris and the refinement of the test and method of scoring it by Wilhelm Stern in 1912 who constructed the metric of the IQ which I have summarized for you here. This was the method of measuring intelligence by Wilhelm Stern, a Jewish, of course, as you will see from his name. He was a professor of psychology at the University of Breslau, then in East Germany. Now, Rokau, if you all forgive my pronunciation, in Poland following the transfer of a slice of East Germany to Poland in 1945. Stern set the population IQ mean at 100 with a range of 96% of the population between 70 and 130.  And those comprise 2% of the population. And at the other end of the continuum, there is another 2% with IQs above 130. These are the intellectual elite consisting of people like ourselves. Now, once the IQ tests had been invented, it was used administered and its explanatory powers were explored for many phenomena, and it has become evident over a century of research that the IQ measured in children at the age of perhaps 7 or 8 has a reasonably significant predictive power for subsequent outcomes, including the individual's educational achievement, their earnings, their socioeconomic status, their intellectual output, and their longevity. Since your IQ is a determinant of how long you live. For fairly obvious reasons, people with high intelligence look after their health more sensibly, go to the physician if they have worrying symptoms, eat sensibly and abstain from taking drugs and things of that kind. My contribution to research on intelligence has been to collect the IQs of nations and races. It was said by the British physicist, Rutherford, who was the first to split the atom for which he was given the Nobel Prize. It was said by him that all serious sciences, physics, the rest is just stamp collecting. And this is pretty well true of my own work in this field. My particular variant of stamp collecting has been to collect IQs of peoples from all over the world, and I have in my collection about 600 of these, which I have been able to classify according to the nations from which they come and the races to which they belong. And among, in my collection, I have a number of studies of the IQs of the Jews. So we are now able to look at this question of what the IQ of the Jews is. Anyone help me bring up the next slide? What is the intelligence of the Jews? Now, in considering the intelligence of peoples all over the world, I set the standard against which these are measured, at 100 in Britain, analogous to the initial work of Philhelm Stern in Germany, with a standard deviation of 15 of the same range between 70 and 130. And in relation to the British IQ of 100, we have these four different categories of Jews. The Ashkenazim, these are the European Jews, of course, formerly largely residents in Russia until the 1880s when they were attacked, and most of them fled to the United States, where there are about 6 million of them today, and they are by virtue of their high IQ of 110 an immensely powerful subgroup in the United States. This is probably very well known, controlled American foreign policy, and a very powerful influence throughout virtually all professions and occupations in the United States. The next group are the Sephardim. These are the Jews who were residents for many years in Spain and Portugal, from which they were expelled in 1492. The Spanish said, you must either convert to Christianity or get out, and most of them decided to get out, but some converted, known as conversos, and others pretended to convert, but retained their Jewish faith and practices in secrets, or so they hoped, but were sometimes identified and then burnt poor Angkorraje lezot. Then come the... We don't know too much about the Sephardim after being expelled from Spain and Portugal a few years later. They dispersed to various places in the world, a number went to the Netherlands, a few went to the Middle East around contemporary Lebanon, but most of them went to the Balkans, and most of them were lost in the Holocaust, but they escaped to Israel. Then there are the Mizraheem, those of the North African and Asian Jews, largely residents for many centuries in Iraq, some in Iran, a number in Morocco, and nearly all of these moved to Israel after the foundation of the state in 1948. And finally there are the Ethiopian Jews, or sometimes called the Black Jews, a population of Jews who, in Ethiopia, who adopted Judaism many centuries ago, and after the foundation of the state of Israel, asked to be admitted to the state. And there was some discussion about whether these could be regarded as bona fide Jews, because they are not of course genetically related to the other Jews, which are all genetically related to each other, coming from the same original population in Palestine, but it was decided that they could be accepted, or resident in Israel, and they have the IQ of 69. This is about the same as that of other Sub-Saharan African peoples. Now to put these IQs in the global context, I show you here the IQs of the principal racial groups, and you'll see that the Ashkenazim are the most intelligent people in the world with their IQ of 110. Then come the Northeast Asians from China and Japan and Korea with their IQ of 105. The Europeans from North and Central Europe, going down to North Italy with their IQ of 100. The IQ drops as you go to the far south of Europe, in Greece, in Andalufia, and in the toe of Italy, and Sicily to around 92. Then we have the Mizrahi, which I show you in the first slide, with their IQ of 91. Blacks in the United States have an IQ of 85. North Africans of 84. South Asians from the Middle East through to Vietnam with an IQ of also 84. Blacks in the Caribbean with an IQ of 72. Blacks in Africa with their IQ of 70. Just about the same as the IQ of the Ethiopian Jews in Israel. And towards the bottom, the Australian Aborigines with their IQ of 62. And finally, the group with the lowest IQ of all peoples, the Pygmies of the Congo rainforest with their IQs of 53. Now, a curious feature of the IQ of the Jews is that they are particularly strong on the verbal and reasoning abilities and not nearly so strong on the visual and spatial abilities. These are the abilities that are required, say, to look at the pieces of Jigsaw puzzle and see quickly how the bits fit into the total picture. And this profile of the Jews expresses itself in the areas of attainment in which Jews excel. Jews are very prominent in occupations requiring verbal and reasoning abilities, such as law, science, literature, academic work generally, but not so strong on the visual and occupations requiring visual and spatial abilities, such as engineering and architecture. There are not many prominent Jews in the fields of engineering and architecture where they don't have the talent to excel in those professions. And one is hard to put to name eminent Jews in these occupations, or it is easy to name many eminent Jews in other occupations. Now, the high intelligence of the Jews was rapidly expressed itself in the United States to which most of the Jews went after they fled from Russia in the 1880s. They arrived as penniless refugees, mainly in New York, and initially had to take humble occupations, mainly in tailoring. But their children inherited their high IQs and excelled at school and began to gain entry to the elite universities. And by around 1920, this became a better concern to those who ran these universities, which were largely run by wasps, white English hacks and Protestants in those days, because it appeared that they were being swamped by these large number of Jews obtaining entrance. Jews were reaching about 20% of the intake in Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, and as high as 40% in Columbia, in New York City. And they decided, steps had to be taken to try and contain the number of Jews, otherwise the place would be totally swamped by these clever Jews. Previously, Jews had been admitted on the SAP, the Scholastic Ability Test, as it was called in those days, a test in mathematics and English, more or less an intelligence test. This is why the Jews did so well. But in order to contain the intake of Jews, other criteria for admission became adopted. Regional quotas were established so that it was easier to get into Harvard and Yale if you came from remote states. Because there weren't many. There were very few Jews, so that kept the number in these states, although there was a quota for them. So that kept the number of Jews down. By these means, the use of character qualities as part of the assessment criteria were adopted in order to contain the number of Jews. And through these means, the percentage of Jews has been stabilized at around 20% in these elite universities. Now, I will pass quickly to the theories of the high Ashkenazi intelligence. First of all, there is the eugenics theory. This theory is that the Jews have practiced eugenic policies. The word was coined by Francis Galton, whose book I mentioned earlier, to designate programs conscious or unconscious which had the effect of raising the intelligence of the population. The theory is that Jews practice eugenic policies of this kind. Jewish rabbis had high IQs because you had to do a great deal of learning to become one and succeed in the learning. And these had occupied a highly prestigious position in Jewish societies, and it was the ambition of rich fathers to get their daughters to marry rabbis. So this, which they often succeeded, so this brought together brains and wealth. Now, in historic times, up to about 1900, the rich had more surviving children than the poor. They were able to feed them better, would be the main reason, so they were able to fight disease more effectively. This came to an end about the year 1900. But the result of this was that rabbis and their rich wives between them had more surviving children than the rest. And over the course of many centuries, even a small tendency of this kind to be sufficient to raise the IQ of the population, probably in itself sufficient to raise it to an IQ of 110 over a course of a couple of thousand years. The second theory is the persecution theory. According to this theory, Jews were persecuted for many centuries and in many places in Europe and often killed. And the more intelligent Jews anticipated these pogroms, as they were called in Russia, and moved on in time while the less intelligent Jews were caught in them and killed. Thirdly, there's the discrimination theory. This is the theory that Jews were not allowed to enter many professions or hardly any professions, but they were allowed to enter the profession of money lending. This was prohibited to Christians as it was regarded as usury and thought to be against Christian teaching. This betrayed a poor understanding of economics, of course, because the ability to borrow money is an important part of any functioning economy and people aren't going to lend money unless they're going to get some rate of interest. Jews were able to occupy this niche of money lending and to do this well in order to make sure that you had proper security to assess whether you were likely to be repaid and what the chances were for closing on the getter, these were quite a high verbal IQ and those who had this prospered in this profession and had a relatively large number of surviving children. Then there is the apostasy theory advanced by Charles Murray. This theory begins with the fact, apparently correct, more or less, that in the 1st century AD there were about four and a half million Jews in the Roman Empire, but by the 6th century this was down to one and a half. Numbers had declined very considerably. Murray suggests that this was because all Jewish boys were required to learn the Jewish holy books, the Torah and the Talmud, and this was such an onerous task that many of the less intelligent ones just gave up and left the religion, leaving the intelligent ones behind. He puts the IQ, the high IQ of the Jews right back to the period during and just after the fall of the Roman Empire in the West. And finally there is a new gene theory proposed by Cochrane Hardy and Harpenting a few years ago. This theory is that a new gene for high intelligence appeared as a mutation, surely speaking an allele, an allele being a variant of an existing gene, but for short-hand a new gene appeared about the year 1200 in the Ashkenazi and spread throughout the Ashkenazim population. This new gene had the effects, according to this theory, not only raising the IQ, but also producing Gauch's disease, which had this dual effect. So the theory is that it relies on the fact that Gauch's disease is associated with high intelligence. It's a rather speculative theory and it really awaits the discovery of this gene. If this gene is actually discovered it could be a very major advance. Now this was advanced some eight years ago and this gene has yet to be discovered. So I would put that as a rather speculative theory. Let us place it on the black-backed burner until someone may or may not discover this gene. The apostasy theory of Charles Murray. I'm a bit skeptical about this. It is, I think, accepted that the population of Jews did decline considerably over these five centuries, the first five centuries of our era. But whether this was because the less intelligent ones left, and the more intelligent ones remained, I think left behind, is very much open to speculation. I regard the other three theories as all quite plausible and it's quite likely that they have all played some part in raising the IQ of the Ashkenazim to its high level. Thank you.

Savepoppy.com We've got a sign here that says Mary Kilmas for the animals and we're going to go talk to the people, aren't we? We are. Let's have some fun. What do you think? Do we eat animals at Christmas time? Absolutely. What do you eat? What animals? Tell me. Tell me. Talk to me. I love brisket. You know, you've got the brisket, the pork, everything. I love it. Just roast everything. Roast everything? Roast everyone?  No. What animals? Just anything that tastes good, pretty much. Dog might taste good. Well, we haven't tried it yet. It's a bit of a race. No, I'm joking, but I don't know. What do you think of slaughterhouses?   What do you think of that? I think that if it tastes good. It's okay to cut heads off? No, only if it comes out to a good purpose. Not for like... As long as there's a purpose. If it tastes good, and there's a purpose, you can decapitate animals. You can. Is it moral? You shouldn't do it, but we do that because it's yarmony. That's how we survive. Wait a second. Do you have Christmas roast to survive? Yeah.  Enjoy yourself, I guess. Can you live without eating animals? Of course, brother. Humans were meant to eat animals. That's just how it is. But the only problem is the farms. That's the only problem. You meant to eat them? Yeah, bro. We have these for a reason. Canines. You eat the meat. That's why they're there.  No, bro. You need to chill me, alright? I was just saying... That's what you said. These canines. You have canines to rip meat. Obviously, back in the day, humans used to go in forage and stuff they ate. The only problem is the farms. The farms and where the cows live. That's bad, alright? Like, if we were all getting our own meat, that's a different story. That's fine.  Mate. Did you take down a cow with those? No, mate. Like, the Aboriginal style with the Spirin style.  Like a carnivore does. No, no, no. Humans are a smart species, bro.  Why would we evolve the teeth to eat... Where's your claws? That's good for you, man.  Have you seen a predatory animal? Like a lion, a wolf? What I'm saying is you're appealing to nature. I'm trying to get you to think, like, you're appealing to nature. I don't care what's natural, actually. Because killing each other has happened in nature. Rape occurs in nature.   We're talking about what's natural. Rape is not natural, man. Rape happens in nature all the time. What do you think animals ask for consent? Yeah, but, mate, a lion has to get the same brain as a human, bro. What I'm saying is because... It's something ethical. Well, let me just explain to you what an appeal to nature fallacy is. I'm trying to say, like, just because something occurs in nature, that does not make it ethical to do, does it? Yeah. Sure. Think of the things that occur in nature. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, vicious killing. The thing is humans evolved teeth like this for a reason. Humans have an evolved brain to hunt. Bro, if it wasn't natural, why would the Aboriginal people do it 50,000 years ago? Why? Why do I care? I just said I don't care if something is natural. I care if it's ethical. Well, it's ethical. Because horrible things happen in nature, don't they? So are you going to go tell a dog to not eat meat? I'm asking you a moral agent. Wait, is it ethical? Is slaughterhouses ethical? Let me ask you that. No, slaughterhouses aren't ethical. But eating meat as a human... So where do you get your meat from? That's what I said. If it's naturally forest... Wait, wait, wait, wait. Come on. Ask a question. Where do you get your meat from? Come on. Hold on. Let me... I was going to check a chain. Okay, you've seen the files they come from? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if you get the footage from slaughterhouses... Yeah, yeah, pretty much, but... Like eight minutes. He escaped pretty well, Bro. But I was just wondering where you got your meat from and probably not from a spear in the nature like a lion. Wait, that's what I said. Ask me. No, no, that's cool. That's what I said at the start, man. I said, look, slaughterhouses are bad. I said that. Wait, so why do you pay for them? Why do you pay for them? Because when I... come on, man. What else have I got? Just tell me why you pay for them.  Just tell us it tastes good. It's just the way it is. It's just how we like it. It doesn't have to be that way. I don't eat meat. It doesn't have to be that way. I don't eat meat. It doesn't have to be that way. I don't eat meat. That's the truth. That's how we've chosen to be. Okay. If you want to get... Do the animals have a choice to go to slaughterhouses? No, but... Yes, no. They have a choice to get killed by a tiger? No. You're not doing that. A tiger is in a survival situation, which we already... I'm in a survival situation, Bro. I need it in my life. You don't look like. You look pretty chilled, actually, right? Bro, I... Your realisation is chilled out, man. You're not trying to... You're not trying to... Thanks for the help, boys, man. Is there a good reason to decapitate animals? Like a justification. Is it morally justified? No. But that's just the way the cookie comes, bro. Life's not perfect. Yeah, but it doesn't have to be that way. We do support it without...   Sorry? Are you a working adult? Yeah, of course. I am a 16-year-old person who gets $13 an hour. Do I have the money to go and get a natural way of me or spend a lot of money on vegetarian options? Because it can be cheap, but it usually isn't. It's a hard choice. It's not hard choice. Do I have the money to go get a nice burger from McDonald's? They do a vegan burger at Hungry Chucks. Yeah, but, bro, why would I eat that? It's very interesting. You think it's okay to decapitate a cow because you make $30 an hour? Yeah. I know you're 16, but when I was 16, I wasn't thinking of this. I'm 36 now. Yeah. I've been vegan for nearly 10 years. God damn. Consider this, right? If I had an animal right here, a cow, they're looking at it and they're like, hey, go on. And you know they're conscious and sentient beings. They experience suffering. You're probably against animal cruelty, yeah? Yeah. I have a knife here, a cow here, a vegan burger here from Hungry Chucks or whatever. And I'll say, I'll decapitate this cow because you like the way they taste. Would you accept me doing it? What would you say? Nah, man. I'll say the vegan burger. What about this? Wait, wait, wait. So why? No. Because obviously it's right in front of me and it's not a mandatory thing. Okay. I'm behind a wall. Right? I'm behind a wall. You put the money through the slot. I decapitate the cow, make a burger for you. You know what's going to happen then. Freshman. Yeah, no, it is what it is. Would you pay me to do it behind a wall? Sure. I wouldn't pay you anything, bro. Like, if I can get food for free, I'll get the food for free. I'll say it's $5 per meter to decapitate the cow, make a burger for you. How much is it to get the free burger? The vegan burger is $5.50. I guess I'll take the vegan burger. But why? Why would you take the vegan burger in that situation? Close, bro. Like, you've got to cut, bro. Like, it's not that deep. Oh, I got to say that. It is exactly that thing, though. It is that deep. See, I mean, I've just posed the situation where it's a little bit close up to home. But when you go to, it's a lot, you're a lot more disconnected from it in the supermarket. Yeah. Yeah. That's actually true. That's actually true. But like, I don't know. I feel like that's not really a real situation because when they do, when they mass produce beef, like, it's not just like one, like, it's not just like, oh, yeah, let me kill this cow to make one person a burger. Oh, no, no, no. I know that. You do? I know that. Yeah, yeah, of course.  And it might be, it's probably a kilo of chicken on that burger. Yeah, I got it. But I'm saying the concept is still the same.  That's fair. But like, I don't know. I just don't see, like, everyone's here on, you guys are here on the street. And I just don't think it's right. Everyone else, everyone has their own opinion. Like, no one's going after you for what you think. So like, I don't know, if you make people feel bad for their, like, if they want to eat meat, that's their choice. Why would they feel bad if there's nothing wrong with cutting animal's heads off? Well, there's not another guy up the street doing the complete opposite to you and saying, why would you be vegan? It just, well, it's just each to their own view. There's no moral wrong with consuming plant products. There's not. And if people want to eat meat, they obviously don't feel that there is a moral, there is a moral wrong or they don't think about it. There's a bunch of people in this slaughterhouse going to get decapitated.  Oh, yeah, yeah. And I'm on the street saying, hey, every time you put your money into this slaughterhouse, they're decapitating people. Can you please stop? Would you say to me, oh man, why are you trying to make people feel bad? It's their choice. What? No, no, one second. Well, why not? Because they're people. You don't get in trouble for killing people. I'm saying, if I want to eat them, they taste good. They taste good. We've been killing humans in nature. Humans have been killing other humans in nature for thousands of years. That's the moral thing, bro. There's catapulting nature. There's still catapult tribes right now. You can say this about anything, bro. You can literally say this about anything. You can't just take stuff and put it into the reality, bro. Because you can say this about anything and there are stuff in the world that you might not like. You can't less if a petto goes to jail or not. It's just how it is. Some people care, some people don't, bro. You know what I'm saying? It's different. There's bad things that happen, right? But rarely are there cases where you're paying for the flesh of a being who didn't want to die. So I'll put it in the human context so you understand why it's bad.  Is that what you do? No, it's not. I'm just saying. Just curious how you get beat. You buy it. Where's the store? Butcher. Anyway. And where's the butcher get it from? That is not really my problem. I think that a lot of people when they go... It's not because you try to put... like, that is a lot. You try to put it on morally like, oh, you're in the wrong. But the thing is it doesn't really matter. Like, you feel good. You feel good being vegan, yeah? Who doesn't matter to the animals or us? Josh, if you're happy I'm happy with the way I'm living right now and I'm sure everybody is happy with the way that they're living.  So, you know, you don't feel bad about what happens to animals in factory farms, slaughterhouses, slaughterhouses. Yeah, do I have to go? It's kind of the same thing. So, do you have a dog? Do you have a pet? I mean, I don't have one but there's one in the family. Yeah, dogs are bred to, like, be with a family of stuff. So, they're bred and then they're killed at the end because you put down a dog, obviously. Your family would do that. Yeah, but, like, yeah, alright.  You kind of bought your dog money. That's a mercy killing. It's not killing for a burger, you know that. So, if you're suffering very badly there's no way to help you. You could be starving. A mercy killing is, like, no, no, no, no. To my interest, for taste. No, yeah, for taste. So, if you're sleeping at night in a mosquito, it's annoying you. You'd want to kill it, right? I mean, animals that bite you and give you diseases are good to defend yourself from them, but I'm talking about chickens who do nothing wrong.  Just ones that annoy you. Ears and stuff. Yeah, they're biting your kids in the face. You know, I think it's good to defend their cell defense more than, um, decapitating for burgers. It's not really the same because cows can also hurt you.  If a person attacks you, you're allowed to defend yourself. But if they just chill it, it's not okay to just decapitate them for a burger, you know what I'm saying? Wait, so that's all crocodile meat? Yeah, but we can't reason with a crocodile.  So it's a bad, it's bad reasoning. Fair enough. Yeah. Anyways, look, I'm going to still eat my Christmas dinner. Who are you eating for Christmas? Tell me. Oh, dear brother. How's this cow? I'm eating pepper the pig. Good job, man. It's brisket. Awesome. Latino style meat. It's got a saddle. Argentinian style is very nice. It's so beautiful. So cows. It's a cow. Come on. Can you eat? Everyone. Everyone. All the animals. All the animals. I don't know. I might have to rip into that tofu. I think, what? Tofu turkey. I don't know. Tofu turkey. Yeah, mate. Sounds amazing. Sounds delicious. You might like it. I might have to give it a go. You might like it. The lads. Do they reckon Merry Christmas for the animals or they have a Merry Christmas? No, no Merry Christmas today. What about the animals? They have a Merry Christmas or the turkeys? You know, it depends on the farm. But they always get killed, don't they? They do get killed in the end. And that's not very merry, is it? It's not very merry. Maybe it won't be a better gift for the animals. Probably some more food. Leave them alone. Leave them alone. Put them in an open farm. Just milk them. No killing. No killing? Maybe milk a tit or two. You know, hey, I'll just say that's in the cows. Cows, cows you can milk them. Turkeys you can technically milk. Let me ask you this. Do you breastfeed? When did you stop breastfeeding? Let me just check my mouth. So, why do you still breastfeed from a cow? I don't know.   Yeah, yeah, yeah. It won't lie. Everyone else does it. It's just, it's just norm. It's just a social norm. It's just a social norm. You ever question the social norms? When I'm sober, yes. Because you're drinking, you're drinking. I have milk from a cow. Who's that milk for? Me, majority of the time. No. A few nieces. Who's the milk supposed to be for? I don't know. The kids. The calf. Yeah, the kids, calves. Yeah, the cow's kid. Yeah, the cow's kid. Where's the kids, do you reckon? On the farm waiting to be next. That's where they are. About to go to slaughterhouse. Let's do this. Say no. Just say no. Thanks, brother. You should be a vegan. I wish, but I like meat a bit too much. You know, you can get vegan burgers, vegan ice cream, vegan everything these days. True, I have had vegan burgers and they're f***ing top s***. There you go, brother. They're f***ing top s***. Merry Christmas, mate. Take care. Have a good night, brother. You too, brother. Take care. Have a good night. Boom. See you, brother.


Hello, welcome to toppyTV, this is the FIFA career mode, episode 5. I think so. Episode 5? Episode 5? I can only count to 10, so it's easy for me to lose count. Let's jump into it with Charles soon. Hey Gaff, thanks for listening, so I had to say I really appreciate the chance to play when I'm in such good form. Not a problem Richie, lad. Keep your feet on the ground. Keep your head doing the pitch. Don't want to get hit by any planes or anything, do you? I'll get it. How, John, I'm not usually going to big myself up, but I think I really have made, I could have really made an impact against Spurs. No, you couldn't. Listen, don't overreact. Don't overreact. Yeah. I feel like I should release him just because I'm wasting my time. Right, let's, let's go ahead and start our first game. Oh! So, we've simmed, what about that? Sporting, CP, as it's expressed their interest to sign, Guilty Siggers with 13.3 million. It's tempting, but I reckon, in my opinion, we just keep holding as a squad player. Okay. Right, here we go. Manchester United away, second game of the season, let's start the line up out. Here we go. We're giving Calvert Loomens got to start the first one, surely. Let's put John back in. Let's put Hammers back in. Number 10. Sa, after the last game. Absolutely. Absolutely. Charlie in the left, let's put him back up here. Sticking Alan next to Gabamon. Yeah. Oh, Alan in the corner. Alan in the corner, yeah. Tommy Ashu is first start. Max Alan's got it. I think with the attack, the attack and threat of Rashford on the left, I think we're going to play Tommy Ashu and try and keep him deep. Brilliant. I want to play Coleman. We're big band. Yeah, and then Godfrey and Mina, centre backs. Absolutely. Looks good to me. Solid. Solid as a rock. Okay, here we go. We've got stone roses, hyping up the players. Michael Keynes. Michael Keynes is starting to be united. What a save, JP. Get in. Turn him on there. Turn him on there on the Alan. On the Alan. Release the Richie.  Got inside. Clean. One more. It's got to be. Shoot. Oh! What a save from Dehaer. Oh, I've got to play. That's a good effort. Go play. Hamas Rodriguez fires it with his left. Good save. And it's tipped. That's it. That's it. Good tackle, Mina. That's it. Get stuck in, lad. My play of this. Oh, Dean. It's too easy. Richie's gone back both. Oh! Fencer over there. Oh, no. What a save. JP. JP again. Put the pressure on it doesn't matter. Man of the match performance by JP so far. It's the light. It's the light. It doesn't matter for his mouth. Take the free kick. Take the free kick. You take the free kick. That'll do. That will do nicely. Got to be. Oh! What a bad effort. What a ball. Go back on free. Nice. Yes, big Benjamin. I'm in there. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh! This would have been phenomenal. The skill. The F2 would have been proud of that one. And that. Oh! The F2 would have been proud of the swats. Penalty! Penalty! Ref, you bottle job. He's on. Who is the ref? I don't know but he's on my right payroll. Get to that JP. JP again. Out. It's a good ball. It's a good ball. Jaws that. All day. Lucky. You know what we're playing well here. We are playing well. Are we dominating this game? Jaws that, Tommy. Nice. Good tackle. Nice tackle. Nice two's. Two's. Oh, it's a ball. Tommy's gone. Ah, don't. Got to do better than that, Dom. Jaws that, God forbid. Time. Time. Get in. Oh! What's happening in it? Oh! What? Can you believe that? How long does it take for our centre backs to get back and deal with that? And it's him as well. Oh! What are you doing? Lord Fargo. That is filthy.  Good first save. That's a proper miss. I don't know what Yenny means doing this. Yenny means score that. He's slipped. Do you know what? It's nil nil. It is nil nil. Come on. Nil nil mentality. We've been far better than these in this game. Nil, nil, nil off. Post. Oh, not a day. Got a black tackle by a telly. Press, press, press, press. Well played. Well played, well played, Evan. Got ourselves a throw in there. Tom! Tom! It's yours, that. Oh. Into the box. He did it! Oh, that was in. That was in. That was in. It's like food. Ah, time. Checking off. I must say, we're looking good. We need to get an early goal quick. Oh, don't let them get another one early. Oh, that was a bit... Sunday leagueish. Sunday leagueish. And again. Ah! Come on, Tommy. Oh, no. Save JP, keeping us in this. Go on, pick with again. Oh. Oh, not a benefit. A bit selfish there, to be honest. You've got to be! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Come on. We're getting all the chances, but we're not seconding. Our mate's doing all the dirty work. You've got to be. You've got to be done. You've got to take him. You've got to be done. Yes! Yes! Yes! We pulled it back. It's one-one. United are bottling it once again. Oh, don't... Don't put your thumb felling in the crowd, saying, That's for you, my mate. Eating your sauce of droll, drinking your boffero. Look at this. Picks it up outside the box. This is a great touch, by the way. He beats a man one-one. Inside. Easy stroke. On his left. Excellent. You don't save them. Beautiful. Four Premier League goals. Come on. Come on. We rattled him. He's going to win it. Come on, we can... Hit him. Big yeti. Guys, we've rattled these. Richie's on. Richie! Run it, Richie. Yours. All the way. Shoot! Yes! Richie won. Richie! All these... Get the pigeon out. Proof. Proof. That is phenomenal. Oh, look at this. Cut inside. You don't see it. You don't save those. All right, we've got the lead. Let's make some changes. We're going to give Hammers a rest, because we've got to try and battle this out. We're going to get Batman back in there. Let's put him in Alderman's field. Dan James with a bit of base and pace. Dom's looking a bit shattered. So what I want to do? Do you reckon... Hmm... James up front, stretch the pitch. Or Silor up front. I reckon Vishalison up front. James on the left. Yeah. That's it. Keep holding the ball. Oh, it's nice. Oh. Not Tommy's greatest strength. Nice, Tommy. That is his greatest strength. Well played, Tommy. Ripping in. It's going to be... Oh! Richie on the dive! I know the great save. I doubt it.  Richie on the dive, Eddie. Hammers! Oh! Blame. Set him. Oh, it's Hammers against... Set him. It's James. It's James. It's Daniel Hammers. It's Daniel Hammers against his four. Oh! Oh! Daniel Hammers. Oh, Godfrey. Get into them. That's what I'm going to do. That's what I'm going to do. Don't let him cross. Don't let him shoot. JP! JP! JP! That's what we like to see. Sar, my friend. You've had a good game. Well, I think it's time to give you a rest. Let's get Coleman out on the right wing. Are you going to put also on him? No. Let's get Coleman. Give him a bit deeper. Come on. This will be a massive win. Big, big, big three points if we get this. Two of the toughest games of the season. Tottenham and United. And we get six points out of them. Get it on. Massive, massive start of the season. The improvements are there.  Oh, no. Oh, my heart. We've won it squeaky one time now. He could get a last second he got out of there. This would be a heartbreak of this. Big Eddie! Yes! Big Eddie! Oh, go away! On. Get lost. Go away! Billy and Sackle. Golly. Corner. Corner! This ref is out of my thought. He's got a 10 on United because there's only three minutes added on as well. Your JP. Yes! Get in. What? What a win. Man on the map Jordan Jitford. Absolutely. The stress. Let's see what the press has to say. Do you know what? Sky Sports will be absolutely human. Oh, human. They'll be sat there going how can United get beat by a mid-table team? Human. Right, do you feel you were more comfortable or did you get nervous towards the end? Every player did this job. Every player did his job. You managed to get the desired goal in the end. There didn't seem to be much between the teams. You just asked that question. She's just asked that question. We are always confident. Absolutely. Just the same question re-rated. Well, we got the goal maybe we could have had more though. I truly think we could have had more because we took our chances. What was the thing about? What was the thing behind something Dominic Havett living? Don't ask me that. Why are you asking me that?  And Dom isn't even happy about that when I've said don't ask me that.  I think I'm a little bit tired. Fatigue. Fatigue. Fatigue. Right, there you go. What a win. Look at that. And Edwina is like 84 re-rated. Look at that. Look at that. Top of the league still. Top of the league. So there's episode five. If you enjoyed hit the like button. Make sure you subscribe. If you want more content including exclusive live content we go live every day.
