Bam. We’re live. Welcome back. Welcome back. Bryson del Monte Seon. Why’d you tell people to think before they put on shoes, but you don’t think before you take off pajama pants, just put on another pair of pants. I understand your sentiment part. Funny part, truth part. What’s that called? Not poetry. What’s the shit? Philosophy part? Wisdom. But I think maybe the delivery was wrong on that. But I hear your sentiment. I know what you’re doing. And I like it. I like it. But you’re not supposed to think before you put shoes on. It’s the people.
(01:04):
Shannon Cook. Good morning, Quentin McQueen. Yo. Geez, Quentin, what do you want? Dude? It’s over. You did great. It was fun seeing you. Are you a Seon podcast guy? What are you doing over here, Zach? What’s up, dude? What’s up with the cookies? S What’s up with the cookies? Severe Kelly. What’s up, rambler fifth. Hey, that fortune cookie or whatever that thing is that you have that emoji, that image that has started popping up on a lot of my stuff. It’s weird. Matter of fact, wait a second. Wait a second. Nope. No, nevermind. Yeah, it’s weird. I’d never seen that emoji before, and now I’m starting to see that emoji more and more. So happy to be here at Chris Bier Feld. Robbie Myers. What’s up, present? Good morning, Stephanie. Hi. Good morning, Steven. Stephanie. Steven, Steven. Blacks Smith.
(02:07):
I made this post. Oh, I don’t know today. This is going to be a good one. I got so much Israel stuff. Palestine stuff, Hamas stuff. So much. I’m going to try something new. I’m going to try to come at it. I have no idea what I’m talking about. Wish me luck, Travis. What’s up, dude? I saw your booth at the event. I saw you in a few shots. Good to see you there, dude. I hope it was a great week for you at Crash Man. Friday was brutal on me. Brutal. I know you guys can all relate. It was one of those mornings where I went to bed too late, got up too early and one hour in I was like, oh no. I am in big, big trouble. I was yawning. My eyes were tearing. It reminded me in high school when I went and took SS a t I was a mess too much.
(02:59):
It’s not even that I was partying, I was just up late. And then I just got up too early. I had no business being on Friday show at all. It was okay. Saturday and Sunday were fine. I enjoyed ’em. It wasn’t even a lot on me. I got to work out like three times on both days, like three little 30 minute workouts. I did the show sweaty. I didn’t worry about showering. It was cool. I had fun all those days. It was nothing. And then Sunday was a piece of cake. Yesterday when the show was over, I went out. Our jujitsu instructor, her parents own a ranch, and then her other parents just like two miles away, were having this huge party in this house that looked like the White House. And so we went out to the ranch. The boys rode horses. They shoveled shit.
(03:42):
We hung out. It’s really close to my house. And they wanted to shoot guns. They wanted to shoot squirrels, but there were no squirrels to shoot. So then after that, we went over to our other parents’ house and there was a big party there and we hung out there. It was cool. I don’t normally do that. It just kind of decompressed. It was chill. It was a good time. And then last night I worked out again from 11 to 12. Actually, yesterday, I think I worked out like four times. Like a true person with an eating disorders moose. I was wearing one of your hoodies while coaching this morning. Someone voiced their appreciation for it. I realized the opportunity to put in a plug for you. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I made these two posts in a row back to back. I don’t know if you guys saw ’em on my Instagram account. And the one post people thought I was supporting Israel. And then the next post people thought I was supporting Palestine. We are in a very emotionally charged time. It wasn’t experiment I was running.
(04:38):
I was trying to see how easily people would just read into things. Bud Ducey. Wow. Wow. Bud Ducey new to the show. Good to see you, buddy. Are you related? Are you the father to, who’s the guy from Fox who always fights with the first black open lesbian White House? What’s her job? The chick with the curly hair talker. What? Peter Ducey. Are you related to Peter Ducey? I know. That’s crazy. Right? Came cider. Came cider. Caman cider. Ca cider. Wow. Cayman cider. I’d like you to meet Bud Ducey. Incredible. Thank you. Extra sloppy. It was a good experiment. I liked it. Yeah. Listen, no one accepts everything. I used to be one of those hippie morons. Nobody accepts everything. Everyone should be accepted. There should be freedom for everybody. Everyone should be allowed to express whoever and however they want to be. There should be an acceptance of all of mankind. That’s not true. That’s just not true. There’s no one like that. I think even your guys’ homeboy, Jesus flipped over some tables and shit. Didn’t accept everybody. That’s not true.
(06:23):
Here’s the situation. Tyson be played yesterday. Woo. Do you know how lucky I am? It was 10 o’clock at night. No, it was at nine 30. No, it was eight 30 at night. And Tyson’s dad called me. I mean, I had called him like 10 times. He didn’t answer. He called me at eight 30. I got to talk to him until 10 o’clock sitting in my garage in a chair. One of those little portable chairs you take to go watch kids’ sports. And I got to just hear his thoughts about his son for an hour and a half. It was fucking dope. It was a dream come true for me. But really, I was kind of anxious. I didn’t fully enjoy it. I wanted to work out. And then by the time we got off the phone, it was 10 o’clock and then I worked out until 11. 11 wanted mean. It worked out. I just mean just sit on the assault bike and watch U F C fights and sweat and shit like that. Yeah. It wasn’t that incredible. Watching him play. Wasn’t that sweet. Wasn’t that special.
(07:28):
I asked Travis, I’m like, Hey dude, I don’t know shit about football, but whoever snaps the ball to Tyson should be fucking taken out and beaten. That was crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nuts. I was like, are Snaps supposed to hit the ground or go wide? Right? Go over your head. It was nuts. I said, does that guy get in trouble? He goes, well, they pulled him out. I didn’t even know this. Notice that they pulled him out. Oh my God. Came insider. Amazing fights happened, man. The main event on Saturday was amazing and crazy fights happening. Crazy, crazy. U F C fights coming. Holy smokes.
(08:24):
So the deal is I’m going to try to paint the picture and I’m open to you guys helping paint it too. So let’s just kind of, we’re going to dig in some timeframe. I know it’s a larger timeframe than this, but there’s this country called Israel and down in the southern region, there’s a strip of land down there called Gaza. I could even pull it up on a map. Israel, what the origins of that are? Israel? What a great name it is Israel. Israel. Here we go. Here we go. Good morning, Eaton Beaver. Hey, what’s up?
(09:13):
So this, sorry, let me, can I move that over? How do I make it so it’s just the map. Anyway, I’m going to zoom out really far first. So here’s Africa. Down here in the south, right? That big old huge continent. You see Egypts in the corner, the northeastern corner of Africa, and then you zoom in from the northeastern corner of Africa and just to the north of Israel through a Israel, just to the north of Egypt is Israel. And that’s considered the Middle East. I’m open to being wrong. By the way, if someone’s like, that’s not the Middle East, that’s the central East. Go ahead, just throw it it in the chat. Oh shit, I didn’t see this coming. First off, fake map. Damn, already.
(10:03):
So as you zoom in to Israel, you see Israel is really small. And then in this lower Southern section of Israel, along the water here, along the Mediterranean is a piece of land called Gaza. And they got it written here like it’s its own country. And if you Google around, you can find out that the ruling party in Gaza is this group called Hamus. Or if you’re local, you call them Hamas. Hamas. And they’re Muslims. And then these Egyptians are Muslims. That’s Muslims. How some of you are Christians and some of you are Jews. And Muslim is their way of explaining what happens when you die. God forbid anyone just accept they don’t know.
(10:52):
So this is their land here and they claim that they’re stuck here and people saying it’s the world’s largest open air prison and all that. But all of us know people who go in and out. I don’t know if you know, but I know people who go in and out of their regularly. I know rich people in the United States who were building their dream home there. And then you can Google and you can find out that a hundred thousand people from Gaza travel into Israel every single day just for work. And the same with Egypt. So to call it an open air prison, I mean I find it very difficult to believe any of that’s true, but fine. Everyone has their own little narratives and shit.
(11:35):
The story we were told is that these people from Gaza, a group of them who were told, ordered by the Hamas government, the government here came into Israel last week or a couple weeks ago. And what we were told is that they beheaded a bunch of people. They just went into people’s home and beheaded babies and shit, and they were killing old people and stapling women to walls. And they FaceTimed it all. And they would basically take, they would kill a guy, then take the guy’s wife’s cell phone and then FaceTime live it when they raped her on her dead body. Just shit like that. Crazy stories. You can’t even get your head wrapped around, right? Yeah. Matt Burns. They are stuck at that beachfront property. Yeah, I suspect the Mediterranean is really nice there too.
(12:27):
And so then now this country, Israel over here, this country, they’re known for having a crazy military, wild, wildly high level military. Their whole military is like Seal team six and then the National Guard. And they can mobilize. They can mobilize in a second. And that’s what they did. And now what they’re doing is they’re going over to Gaza and they basically said this, listen carefully what they said. The president of Israel said this, not Netanyahu, but their president. He said, we’re done with Hamas doing these types of attacks. I guess they claim that they’ve been done before and we’re going to make it so it never happens again.
(13:20):
So you know what that means, right? If I tell you you’re never going to be able to do something again, there’s only one way of, actually no one could stop me from doing anything a hundred percent, unless they did what to me. They’d have to end my existence on earth. And so there’s no other way to read that. Are we good so far? Everyone good so far? We are all flowing along with story. So these guys supposedly came in, and I’ll get to why I say supposedly. And then these other guys are now saying publicly on tv like, Hey, we’re never going to let this happen again.
(14:06):
I haven’t seen any of that Facebook footage, but I’ve seen lots of bloodstains and burn bodies in cars and I don’t know what’s real anymore. Do I think something happened over there? Well, fuck yeah, something happened. Are there all sorts of weird details about it? You’re like, yeah, it takes 45 minutes to cross the country to get to where the attacks were from anywhere in Israel, and yet they didn’t send someone there for six hours. Why not? Things like that all around the nine 11 conspiracy shit we had. Let’s put all that aside. Just bear with me for a second. Let’s just assume it happened. Because if we say that didn’t happen, then we also have to be like, Hey, maybe Gaza’s not getting bombed and we’re being tricked now that Gaza’s not being bombed. Those are just pictures drawings, AI bomb pictures. We could go down that rabbit hole just forever. Well, that’s not happening. Well, that’s not happening.
(15:10):
I’m going to take us through a shitload of clips and give us a bunch of different views and perspectives. Here’s a couple of things I’m tripping on. If you know that they told Gaza, Hey, we’re going to flatten you, we’re flattening. You have to leave and we’re going to basically, we’re going to kill everyone who’s Hamas. They have said that by saying, we’ll never let this happen again. Of all the stupid Black Lives Matter Shit, I’ve seen of all the dumb fucking idiots that believe in Asian, hate of just all that moronic shit, I’ve never seen a group of people chant death to Blackie, death to Armenians, death to the kite. Oh, I have seen that. Death to the spic. Death to the chink. I never seen that. I’ve never in my 51 years seen that. But you know what I have seen so many times in my life is I didn’t realize until recently gassed the Jews, death to the Jews. Death to America. Death to Israel. They burned down Ferguson supposedly. I don’t know who they is because George Floyd died. Dude, what the fuck do you think’s going to happen to Gaza?
(16:36):
No side being taken here. Gaza is five miles by 25 miles. So what is that? That’s 125 square miles. I think DC Washington DC is 10 by 10 miles. That’s a hundred miles. Yeah. That’s a very Well, we should do a whole show on that. We are fatherless. That’s a great line. You have to leave that place. And these people who are saying you can’t leave. First of all, if you’re a male and you don’t have any kids, there’s no one stopping you from leaving Gaza. There’s no fucking way. I refuse to believe that. I refuse to believe that if you have kids, you better hit head south. You’ve got to get out of there. You’ve got to live to fight another day. You’ve got to live to live your life. Maybe there’s a chance you’ll wake up day and have some realization that you’re not Muslim, that you’re not Christian, that you’re not any of those things, and you’re just a child to God. Maybe. Maybe you got to give yourself that chance to have that realization to stay there is suicide. One second caller. Hold on, hold on, hold on. You know how this works. This isn’t a real show. You know how this works. Standby, let’s see. Here we go. Here we go. Hello, caller. Hey. Hey. What’s up dude? Can you hear me? I can.
(18:18):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Hello.
Sevan Matossian (18:20):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Hey, can you hear me? I can. Good. Great. How are you?
Sevan Matossian (18:25):
I’m amazing.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Great.
Sevan Matossian (18:29):
I thought I forgot how to do a show. It’s been three days.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
No, you haven’t forgot. I’ve been following.
Sevan Matossian (18:40):
Are you walking the dog or walking the child?
Speaker 2 (18:42):
I’m walking. Yeah. Yeah, I’m walking the dog.
Sevan Matossian (18:44):
Oh
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah, I’m out there.
Sevan Matossian (18:46):
Two hours was in, where are you calling from? Where are you calling from?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
I’m from la.
Sevan Matossian (18:51):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
But I’m originally from Israel.
Sevan Matossian (18:54):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Okay. So you ready?
Sevan Matossian (18:57):
Yes, sir. I’m all ears. Talk to me talk and thank you for calling
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Everything. Of course. Everything that’s going on over there.
Sevan Matossian (19:05):
Yes,
Speaker 2 (19:05):
A hundred percent real. And even worse,
Sevan Matossian (19:07):
I believe it.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
A hundred percent real and even worse, and it’s not. I think I comment on the post you did on Instagram also, that I’m willing to pay for you to go to Israel and actually document what’s going on over there.
Sevan Matossian (19:23):
Oh, you’re a good dude. Thank you. My wife and kids would love that.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I don’t think so. Oh, I
Sevan Matossian (19:31):
Know they would not. Oh, I know. I know. I apologize. That was a hundred percent sarcastic. No, they would hate it. So
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I have a question for you though. The post that you made mostly was trying to question the media. It’s like after everything that they did with the Covid 19 and all this stuff, it’s like, how can we believe you guys right now when you showing this kind of stuff?
Sevan Matossian (20:00):
Kind of. It’s kind of like that. It’s not how can we believe you? It’s just make your own decisions. It’s like, from what I see, I do believe something very bad happened there. And those people did cross the border and they did horrible, horrible shit. Just like I believe, I don’t know if you saw the post from the day before, but the day before I made that post that basically said, Hey, we do not accept everything. You can’t just be like, Hey, accept Palestine, accept this, accept this, accept this. You just can’t do that. That’s not true. You can’t just be peace and love kumbaya. Once you chop the head off a baby that’s out the door. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
And I can tell you this, I served over there and the fence that we have over there, it’s ridiculous. It’s not if we have a laser going on the fence, we have already three patrols, four tanks heading that direction. Now, when this happened, everybody was going there. Special forces was going there, and they got demolished by 600 troops from their end, from Hamas. They got demolished and nobody’s talking about that.
Sevan Matossian (21:08):
Oh, that’s interesting. So what you’re saying is they did send over a helicopter or a dozen guys and they got killed. I did hear that some of those kids who were at that music festival who had already served were like, Hey, I know where there’s a base. Let’s go there for protection. And when they got there, the Hamas guys were already at the gate. They had already killed all the soldiers, and then they started shooting at the kids. Did you hear that also?
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yep. Yep. They went to the base. They went to the closest ski booth that they had over there, and they tried to hide over there. Only really, really lucky people that were hiding under trash cans or under dead bodies. Those are the ones that survived. I had a lot of friends over there in the music festival. Some of them survived. Some of them is very athletic, so it just ran off. And the other obese people are a little bit better people. They couldn’t run, and unfortunately they didn’t survive. So that’s crazy.
Sevan Matossian (22:06):
How long have you been in la?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
15 years.
Sevan Matossian (22:12):
10 years.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
15. 15.
Sevan Matossian (22:14):
15. Hey, if you were Palestinian, what would you do? Tell me about the thing about how they keep calling Gaza an open air jail. I’m having trouble believing that too because I have Palestinian friends who travel back and forth from the US to Gaza.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I understand. I get that. But they really think about,
Sevan Matossian (22:42):
It’s not a jail, is it? They can leave. Right. And if Egypt’s and Arab, they can, they can’t. Okay, tell me. Sorry, go on.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
They can and they can’t. It’s like getting a visa. Okay, you get a visa, you can come here to the United States, but if you don’t get a visa, there is so many, they’re really making their life hard to get the type of document that you need in order to live. And now Egypt is not even letting them in. So they’re trying to flee to the border of made it out of the house and trying to flee to the border of Egypt. They’re trying to get in, but Egypt is not letting them in. So it’s really messed up. And the rest of them that they’re staying over there, they’re holding guns to their head and they’re like, Hey, you’re not leaving. You stay in this house until they’re going to bomb you because we have to show that we have dead civilians.
Sevan Matossian (23:28):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
So think about your wife and kids staying in the apartment, and the Hama is standing on the other side of the door and telling them, if you leave, we’re going to shoot you. So we have to stay and die from Israeli bombing.
Sevan Matossian (23:41):
Is Hamas the government there? Is it the government party there the same way we would have Democrats or Republicans?
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Exactly. Exactly.
Sevan Matossian (23:50):
And is it true, I was looking at this other thing that Patrick be, David posted that part of their charter is death to Israel and Death to America and death to the Jews and death to anyone who doesn’t follow Muhammad.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
That’s what they want. They want everybody to die. And after they’re finished with the Jews, they’re going to go for the us and then they want to control everything. They don’t believe in peace. They don’t believe in nothing. They’re just believing in killing Jews. And after they’re done onto the next, you cannot reason with those people.
Sevan Matossian (24:24):
So this was inevitable?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yes. Hundred percent.
Sevan Matossian (24:32):
What do you think? I think Netanyahu’s going to completely take Gaza back and Israel will now inhabit Gaza. Is that what you think is going to happen? Also? I don’t think he has a
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Choice. I wish and I hope for God. And that’s going to be the new tourist area, like the New Vegas for us.
Sevan Matossian (24:51):
Oh, I could see that because it’s along the water there. It’s a nice piece of land.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
It’s beautiful piece of land, and they destroyed. It’s ridiculous how a country can do this for such a beautiful piece of land. It’s not,
Sevan Matossian (25:06):
I mean, he basically, I didn’t hear net in Yahoo. Say it. I don’t know who the president is over there, but he basically said, Hamas will never attack us again. That’s our goal. And that means that they’re going to wipe them off the planet, the face of the earth. Is that how you interpret that?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
That’s how I interpret that, and that’s how I hope he meant that.
Sevan Matossian (25:23):
When you watch the footage of these Palestinian children being pulled out of buildings and stuff, do you feel yourself starting to cry?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
I don’t feel myself starting to cry at all. I’ve been crying for the last two weeks ever since this started.
Sevan Matossian (25:39):
Ah, okay. Okay.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Yeah.
Sevan Matossian (25:44):
Well, I appreciate you calling. It’s important for me to hear your voice. I think it’s important for a lot of people to hear your voice.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah, dude, I wanted to call for such a long time, but this was a trigger point for me, so I had to,
Sevan Matossian (25:59):
Yeah, I really, really, really appreciate it. Did you lose any family over there?
Speaker 2 (26:06):
No, but I have a lot of friends that I lost, and I have, my brother right now is Frontline. If I was there, I was supposed to be as well, but I’m here.
Sevan Matossian (26:18):
Okay. What’s interesting is there are, as I’m sure I heard that, of the 70 CrossFit gyms there, like 69 of them, of the owners have been called up already to serve, and they’ve already left their gyms. And I’ve also heard that two CrossFitters have already been killed over there.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
I didn’t hear about CrossFitters that being killed. I dunno. But I did hear that they open up all of their genes to anyone just come in, all the CrossFit gyms in Israel, just everybody come in, get their fitness on,
Sevan Matossian (26:52):
Hey, are you a CrossFit? Or do you CrossFit?
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yes.
Sevan Matossian (26:58):
Did you see what crossfit.com posted, made a post?
Speaker 2 (27:02):
No, I didn’t.
Sevan Matossian (27:03):
Okay. They made a post. I can’t imagine that. That was very smart of them to make that post. They probably should stay out of it.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Did they say something like this? Suppose Hamas or something like that?
Sevan Matossian (27:17):
No, I know. Good. That’s a great question though. I’m going to read it to you. They said CrossFit condemns the acts of violence being carried out by the terrorist group, Hamas, which have resulted in the loss of innocent lives. I almost wish they would stop calling them a terrorist group and they would call them the government of Hamas because it’s like, then it’s a hundred percent clear why Israel is attacking them. It’s their country. Our hearts go out to the members of the CrossFit community who have been directly affected, and those across the globe who are grieving as a result of this tragedy, we stand united against evil and hatred. What’s interesting is, in my mind, CrossFit supports these hateful and evil organizations like B l m and b L M supports Hamas.
(28:08):
I’ll tell you too, the crazy thing for me is whether it happened or not, and I do believe it happened, by the way, you’re seeing people celebrating it with that image of the paraglider. So in the United States, I’m seeing Palestinian people waving the Palestinian flag pinned to their backpack, an image of the guy on the paraglider. And basically when I see that, I interpret that as you’re okay with those people coming in and chopping babies’ heads off. And I have no tolerance for that. Zero. Like zero. I don’t care. Even if you killed my kids, I would not do that to your child. I would not do that to anyone’s baby no matter what. Even if you did it to mine, I would not do that.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
And you know what? I’ll tell you something. I think that the whole movement of free Palestine, no problem. I get that. And the world needs to get that. We’re thinking the same thing. We want a free Palestine, even if it’s Palestine is a made up word. It’s like a gender. It’s a made up word. It’s nothing. But we’re trying to free Palestine from Hamas. We trying
Sevan Matossian (29:15):
Feed them interesting
Speaker 2 (29:18):
From their reign. So just go with us, just understand what we’re trying to do. Don’t fight us and everything is going to be nice.
Sevan Matossian (29:26):
How about the a hundred thousand Palestinians that were working in Israel every single day that had jobs there? They crossed back and forth every single day. That means something. Must have been
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Amazing.
Sevan Matossian (29:35):
Yeah,
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Amazing people. Amazing people. Amazing. Unbelievable, hardworking, good people.
Sevan Matossian (29:45):
I don’t know the history too well, but are Jews and Palestinians the same people? And then at some point in time, they split ways. Basically. They had a cultural difference and they split.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
You can go backwards, you can go also to the Bible.
