Studio in Fairport and driven by Victor Chrysler Dots. Jim Ram It's Billified the
Bill Moran Podcast. Hello and welcome. Thanks for getting your pot on.
Thank you for telling a friend. That's how we spread the word about the
pirate ship. The pirates ship, Danny. Here we are. Oh,
it's growing here, we are growing, my friend. Yes, it is,
Billy. If anybody goes to a uh you're in the greater Rochester area
and you go to a Red Wings game, look at the TVs and look
for us. We'll be on the TVs. There. Did that earlier this
week. Yeah, Kevin takes up most of it. No, it's not
that. Oh it's talking logo. It's oh good, okay, look for
that. And then up front, I think I'm gonna wait. I'm gonna
say this. I'm gonna wait until tomorrow to talk about another thing that I
cut because the guy that we're doing it with is going to be on tomorrow's
show. Tomorrow's show will be dedicated to four to twenty. So if you
are a weed smoker, or if you feel at any point that weed has
been a benefit to you, and I would even ask you to speak on
on marijuana, not that you've used it, but there were medicinal purposes for
your dad, who was dealing with, you know, life altering illness.
Yes, So I have several stories about that, and also won for myself,
okay, dealing with migraines, and I'll never do it again, but
it was a prescription. But I'll get into that tomorrow. But I mean,
I think all that stuff it's just so funny because as I was saying
to somebody today, and we'll have some other people on, and I want
to talk about kind of New York State and the laws, and maybe I'll
do it now. New York State is sort of I'm flabbergasted by New York
State. At times I sit and scratch my head. Still, Well,
I'm like al Bundy, I'm resigned. Well I'm resigned, I'm not resigned.
And I don't get deep into politics and stuff, and I certainly have
my thinking on things. And I'm a little more middle of the road than
any writer left, I guess. But I'm watching this, and you know,
we had a guy on I'm not sure if you were here today.
The guy called in and talked about hitting a pothole on January twenty fifth,
and is Tesla, and he had it repaired, not by Tesla. Tesla
was going to charge one thousand dollars. Somebody else charge eight hundred. He
thought it was a pothole and he could then have it taking care of by
New York State. And I saw yesterday with Doug that New York State won't
take care November. So what they actually say in the law now, in
the letter that they wrote him, the letter says if it happens from November
sixteenth until May to April thirtieth, they're not responsible, but they'll pay for
repairs from May first till November fifteenth, anything caused on the roadways during that
time they take care of. Yeah, that it does say that. So
it's it's section fifty eight of the Highway all. I went and read it,
and they don't say when they won't pay. They just tell you when
they will pay, because you got to keep it positive. Folks. Hey,
we're gonna pay, but make sure you read the fight in print.
Yeah. Or make sure when you hit a pothole, yeah, you wait
until after May first pay. Well that I had a pothole, so I
uh not when? And I guess yes, in a way, I go,
Okay, we all have, we all drive these roads. We all
see the bad of it, the good and the bad of it. Let's
put it that way. Oh yeah, and if there's some bad things that
happens, I don't know, like New York, you can't you'd have,
you'd be run, you'd be millions and millions of dollars in repairs. So
I guess it's lawmakers. They got to go, hey, hey, hey,
hey, we gotta So I sort of understand it. I mean I
do, but it feels a little shitty and shady, and I don't like
the way it's listed in the law. I think they could say, hey,
look, if you hit something in the winter months between you know,
November, just like the bridges closed or whatever. You know, you can't
park here during these these months. We're not paying. Be a little more
upfront about it. You know, I think most people get caught by surprise.
The other thing is with four to twenty coming, the fact that marijuana
possession was legalized in New York State and and we have I believe one dispensary
maybe two right now at this moment as we're taping this podcast, that you
could walk into and buy marijuana if you were over the age of twenty one,
no medicinal license. Allegedly there's going to be two more in operation by
Saturday, the twentieth, April twentieth, twenty. Wow. Yeah, So
I think there's a little bit of a push on Record Store Day, Billy.
I can't believe it. So get high and listen to your records.
I think Record Store Day, Yeah, we worked for it with them.
Yeah, so I think so. But here's the here's the problem that I'm
wondering about, and I would love to talk to someone who has legal knowledge.
Senator Cooney Coon. Yeah, Jeremy Cooney is that it or Cooney Coonyony?
I am corresponding with him. I want to well, he's head of
like the council or does a lot with marijuana in the state. That's not
sur price. So I was trying to see if I could get him on.
He's tied up in budget stuff. This is my day to day.
Then the head of the the council the marijuana but I think it's like the
chief of the Marijuana Council or whatever. He's also I got that. I
get the name of it wrong, and so it's a good I'm going marijuana
council, but there is there's like a cannabis council. He's also the mayor
of Homer, New York, and he's going to the Bruce Springsteen show too,
so he can't come on. And so his name atto, No,
it's name is not Mayor of Homer. Yeah, so he uh so I'm
trying to get him. But here's my question for the legal people. You
have legalized something at the state level that is not legalized at the federal level.
So what I think that means? But I don't know. Yes,
gotta pay cash, Yes, you have to pay cash. There's an ATM.
I think in every one of these and every one of these plays.
I don't know if you can use your debit card or no, you cannot.
I've been told that some places are allowing the debit card to be used,
But I don't know if the debit card is FDIC ensured. Yes it
is, so therefore, if it's federal, it's they you shouldn't be allowed
to use that when you're at a dispensary. I'm pretty sure. But again
i'm talking out my heini. I think there is a way. Let's put
this on. Let's say you're right, there's a way to get around it,
because the credit card network, if they ring it up as a credit
purchase and not a debit purchase, that you can get away with it.
Okay, Okay, So I think that's the that's the way around it,
because there's a there's credit Debit cards can be used through the credit card network.
In fact, do you know when they used to charge use but but
but not as a credit card, right or as as a credit card,
because I think you could do it like in other words, credit cards,
you're pulling the IC or no. Credit cards are not FDIC. Credit cards
are a different network altogether. Okay, just but the idea of using a
debit card like a credit card is the case of facts. I spent a
week once in two thousand and seven as a credit card merchandiser. It was
awful. I got thrown out of six garages in Rochester. Oh my gosh,
these people are so mean. Rochester is one of the meanest places in
the world when it comes to people in garages. I don't know why,
but anyway, these are all like you know, these aren't like car affiliates.
These are like homemade garages and what not. Homemade, but these are
like where you would bring your car to get repairs. Yeah, okay,
so you're trying to sell them. They're not dealerships. You were trying to
sell them to Swipe swipe Yes, yes, right, okay, And so
one thing they taught us then is that if you tell your customer to enter
your pin number, they will do it without thinking about it. That way,
they'll get charged for the debit, they'll debit price, and you won't
get charged for However, if it's a credit transaction, you get charged.
But then New York State I think did away with that. Now everything is
pretty much you know, there is no debit charge. It's just maybe you
can use a credit card at these places. Possibly, I don't know.
I was under the impression that it was either cash or debit. Well,
if it's a cash operation, so here was my thinking on this, and
I maybe again, maybe I'm being stupid here. We had the ability for
towns to turn down having marijuana shops be allowed to open up in their town
or not. The town that we're in said yes. Towns like Gates said
no, which is a neighbor in town? Right? Okay, well Gates
said no? So what does that mean? What does that say? So
that means that right now they can't benefit from the tax revenue that comes from
the sale marijuana. Well, I don't know about you, but I know
people who run operations businesses that deal with a lot of cash. I haven't
seen their books. But if you're running cash, do you think you're given
a proper tax? You're not. If you're got a brain in your head,
you know what I'm saying, Like you're not for you? Well,
well here's the deal. Like, yes, you probably you have to claim
it. But if you're you're cash, there's no way to track it.
There's a way to track it. On others, there's cannot Do you see
what I'm saying. I work for my uncle's restaurant. Yes that you have
to count, you have to count your total bills. Yeah, the end
of the night and one of the managers told me I just claimed ten percent.
And then my uncle goes, you idiot, you can't say that.
You're supposed to claim all your tips. Now go back and ask the other
waitresses what they claim. You know what I'm saying, like winke, it's
cash right right? Nowadays they track everything, but they track everything. But
but here, now I don't want to come. Here's the other thing.
I have no idea what the stipulations are and running the books at the marijuana
I'm sure New York State is all over this. So that's why I want
to talk to someone who has made the laws, understands the laws. Because
here's the thing. If I am a small town and I go, well,
a tax revenue would be great, But do I want to have a
business in my town that I operates in just cash, which then is attractive
to whom thieves because there's cash in there. Potentially that's why the signs up
a drive through is no more than fifty dollars in cash, kept it any
time. So yeah, so that's why I think to myself, I could
see why towns would go don't want it, don't want it, don't even
care about the tax revenue because it's a cash operation, we don't know potentially,
I'm just thinking off the top of my head, who's claiming what and
how much tax revenue we're actually going to be told is coming in, right,
and there's what they're going to claim that it could be a magnet for
well. I think these I think these shops are are really run well.
I think I think marijuana is doing a one to eighty and its perception I
think from medicinal now, yeah, a little bit from medicinal. I think
that more people are experimenting and trying it and actually finding ways to deal with
anxiety and other things that were often frowned upon with with marijuana. So I
don't I don't as a as a er a medicine. I don't have a
problem with it. I enjoyed a gummy once in a while. I'm not
gonna deny that the THHC waters, the THC seltzers, they're nice and they
do help you and relax you, and they're probably better for you than drinking.
Right, Yes, less stress in your body. But in terms of
a business and the legal side of it, I go New York City seems
to have kind of made this tough or did they Did they know what was
going to happen? Did they not kind of care? Did they figure let
everybody figure this out and then we'll swoop in and make it all easy and
smooth. I don't know, But that's why I want to talk to someone
who tried to do the laws right. I wanted to say, what about
these is it cash only? Are you sure that they're gonna be able to
claim all the taxes? I mean, as a lawmaker, you want to
run on taxes, you should be upfront and I mean telling us the truth
politician. And on the other side, is this why some town said no
because we don't want we don't want the cash operation in our town and the
potential of more crime potential doesn't mean it's gonna happen, but it's a potential.
So that's why I'd like to have somewhat of an intelligent conversation about it.
We will talk to a guy who has a US we'd channel on Roku.
We'll tell you more about that that tomorrow. And if you are a
person who maybe is new to edibles and things because of the legalization, you
can call five A five two O six eighty eight sixty six. Let me
put that number right up on the screen two six eighty eight sixty six and
leaving a message there, and we can call you back. I mean,
we can get you on the podcast, or you can send us something via
Facebook or whatever, or if you're a daily user, how it's helped your
life, I don't know. Maybe it's changed people's lives for the better.
So we'll get into all that tomorrow. That's the plan there. I know
that when my father was living with cancer, it was very helpful to him.
Yeah. I think for a lot of people it relaxes, you feel
less pain and you eat. Yeah. The thing about because the thing about
marijuana, Like our friend Tom George may he rest in peace, our front
our traffic guy. He always used to say. People ask her, hey,
Tom, you want you're going out and you have a couple of cocktails.
He goes, no, I'm gonna smoke a joint. You go really,
he goes, Well, Man made alcohol, God made marijuana. Who
do you trust? That's what you always used to say. And the thing
about pharmaceuticals is that now if you drugs, not just illegal drugs, but
legal drugs have now become the bad guys in a lot of ways, like
prescription drugs because of like opiates and dependency and everything else, and are they
trying to kill us? And so marijuana has become that thing where, Okay,
you know how it's harvested, you know how it's made, and if
it's made like you know, legally and by the state without fentanyl, meaning
there's no additives. If it's made the right way, it could be trusted.
But then there are reports that the state is even screwing that up,
and so you gotta be careful. But at the end of the day,
it was Saturday harmless alternative to drinking hardcore drugs and medications. I know people
who have been doing more of the THC seltzers and things, and they say
to me, I'm not drinking as much. I feel better, I'm not
as bloated from drinking things. I really enjoyed drinking. I really like I
like it, probably too much, and I really try to discipline myself.
But I think with the other you won't drink as much, and maybe it's
better for you and you're a little more relaxed. It just kind of rolls
off your back. You're like, all right, it doesn't matter. So
when I was in Nashville, my wife and I went to this restaurant for
lunch on a Saturday, and just what do you want to drink? I
go, just give me a seltzer. Right. So I go into the
bathroom. Right, I'm kind of high strung. Something happened like on the
walk holl or whatever or someplace was closed and I was like, oh,
I wanted to go here, you know. So I get a little hype
up. So I come back shocking and I'm drinking. Yeah, I'm drinking
this saltzer and I don't notice anything. I'm just drinking it. It's a
green can. Like huh th hc infuse Beth. She goes, oh,
yeah, you need to relax. So I got you some of this salt
I want to try. Can I tell you? I was so calm the
rest of the night. Yeah. I was like yeah, whatever, yeah,
And you did you laugh at all? Yeah? I mean I wasn't
giggling. I was like no, no, no, no, But I
mean it was like it was like, oh cool. I actually thought about
buying a case. Why not, because if you just want to chill out,
I'm saying responsibly. I'm not saying get behind the wheel of the car.
I understand. Hey, it's right, it's Friday night. I just
want to relax, chill out, hang out with my old lady. Right.
Is that or a glass of wine? You know what I'm saying.
Yeah? Or you could take deep breath, or you could you could have
a you could eat a gummy and have a glass of wine and be fine.
You know. I mean, if you want to do that, sure,
yeah, I would. As I see now, like the weed is
grown, some of it's so much stronger, and all this stuff. But
this is our this will be the four to twenty show. It'll be a
repeat. But I would like to know for politicians, I'd like to hear
from people who actually are users. How maybe it's helped their life. Maybe
it's it's it's done you good. Maybe you have a horror story. Maybe
you're gonna say this is all bullshit. I hate it, and I hate
that it's legalized and you're allowed to say that. I would like to talk
to you. I'd love it. I'm open to all opinions and things.
I feel like you get educated, right, it's just a different perspective on
it. So feel free to call or text or hit us up on social
media and if you're free tomorrow evening when we normally tape the podcast, love
to get you on it as well, so we will. We'll get into
all that we've been talking the past couple of days Only Fans, OnlyFans.
We had a story Monday night about a guy who was following his cousin on
only Fans. She found out and she was not happy about it. And
not only was he following, but he had paid for the upper tiers stuff
and then circle Yeah, and he said that it was just it wasn't He
did it for a bud who was married and didn't want to use his credit
card. Yeah, so that sort of thing. And they go to you
know, she's like, I'll see him at family function stuff. So she
blocked him and got them off. They go, but it is a weird
thing. And I said, if I knew my cousin was there, that
I would go on the Only Fans just to see what was happening, and
then I would pose recreate the poses that I would see if there were pictures
of things. And I sent it to her of me doing it, just
because I thought it was funny. However, a lot of people are claiming
they make a tremendous amount of money on only fans. So I mean somebody
I thought they. I thought I read somewhere that if Britney Spears did an
only fans page they think she could make No, I don't know how you
project this or I have no idea. One hundred million dollars as an only
fans Well, I have no idea. I don't even know what it is
to get an only fans description. Yeah, well you talked yesterday about Brooks
Shields getting getting two million dollars after her daughter was doing it. She got
a million dollars out of No. No, no, no, no,
that's I haven't brought that up. No, it was Denise Richard. Denise,
I said Brookshields. Denise Richards, who was married to Charlie Sheen,
is on there. Dre Day Matteo is on there making a lot of money.
But these are big name people and guys want to get creepy. I
don't know what you're doing to keep them coming back to keep the subscription,
to keep. Once you got a subscription, the idea then would be to
get them to renew it or come back for a month. Well, let
me give you an idea. You remember Cameo? Yes, okay, so
Cameo's taking a dip because they've pretty much everybody who's ever wanted to use cameo
has pretty much used Cameo for whomever. And so it's kind of like slid
down and it's not as it's not as popular as it once was, and
the board's losing money, but the time that it was at its height.
And what Cambio is is like basically, I pay somebody like I can have
the rock wish you happy, which your happy birthday for X amount of dollars.
You know the guy who played Kevin on the Office, Yeah, he
made two million dollars a year on that. Now, okay, this is
Kevin right. He was a side character, but a funny guy, right
all right now, Yeah, so I could see Britney Spears with a bunch
of creeps making one hundred million dollars on only face. I believe that was
the projection. But so you hear these numbers, Denise Richard's two million.
Her daughter was on there, and that's sort of what intrigued her, allegedly
to get into it. I only read the title of the article, and
she was making like just under a million, like eight hundred and seventy six
thousand dollars a year, not a bad living for Texas. So I was,
I said, I want to find somebody who maybe we don't know and
what are they making. So we're going to talk to somebody who's in the
Midwest. She goes by the name of gin gin Fit on Instagram g I
n Fit and she's agreed to talk to us. So we'll talk to her
next over to the phone and find out what, you know, what's going
on for her? Right? You know, she making a lot of money.
How she's doing it because it's a lot of work. Because anybody I
see that's on there, you will know because you're on other platforms, they're
trying to drive you to their only fans. And the whole thing is an
attention game and there's a lot of competition. So what are you doing to
stand out and be different and all that sort of that's our buddy JT.
The late JT's unduplicatable context exactly exactly, but it's all you know, it's
pretty much everybody's got the same parts, Yes, yeah, right, how
are your boobs different? Well? I don't know, but we'll talk to
her and uh and find out. We'll get into that next. But first,
Coblestone on Maine at one on nine West Main Street in the village of
Webster is irresistibly delicious. You got to get over there and treat yourself to
their South West Chicken nachos. Delicious. Had my son in town. We
had those nachos, he goes the best nachos I ever had. A matter
of fact, when they were bringing them to our table, some ladies leaned
over and said, what is that? And you only get that kind of
reaction when something looks as delicious as it tastes. It's a flavor of fiesta
right there on one on nine West Main Street in the village of Webster.
Cobblestone on me Victor Chrysler Dodge g Ram Route ninety six in Victor, and
online at Victor cdjr dot com. Circul Law. Their foundation lies in the

guest's favorite band or not, but she used it in one of her Instagram
videos. I don't think this particular song, but it was the Deftones.
I've been talking a lot about only fans the past couple of days and the
only reason that it first came up is some woman in Australia found out her
cousin was on her page. She didn't like that, and he had paid
for the higher stuff. But then I was going, there's a lot of
work that goes into this. And we hear about people making tremendous amounts of
money, and I think that it But so you go, oh, well,
what are they doing. They're not doing anything, just showing off their
body. Well, first of all, you got to have a nice body
to show off, let's put it that way. So there's a lot of
work right there. And then it's all the work you have to put into
driving people because it's an attention game and you've got to be able to give
them something and interact with them. And I think these become full time jobs.
And I think there was an article today that Denise Richards, the actors
who had been married to Charlie. She and the poor woman at one point
her daughter's on there was making nearly a million dollars and she went on and
is making about two million a year. So I was trying to find anybody
to who is in Instagram or excuse me, an OnlyFans, model or creator,
and jin Fit agreed to come on, how are you? I'm wonderful.
How are you doing doing well? Are we allowed to say where you
are in the United States? Or is that a better thing not to say?
Every creator is a little bit different. I do disclosed that I am
in the city of Chicago, Bake City, so doesn't bother me. I
thought Chicago, to me, is such a cool city. It's the best
city in the world. Yeah, I always thought that was a pretty cool
city. I had an opportunity to do some radio there and it was I
didn't go. But so as an onlyfan, what what made you want to
try this? Right? Because it's it is? Yeah, it's a funny
story. It's kind of a long one. They'll keep it brief. So
when I was eighteen, I was working at Borders bookstore. They closed down
and I didn't have a job, and I said, well, I got
to figure something out. So at that point I had heard of this older
punk chick I've always been involved in the punk scene that she was selling her
underwear for like fifty bucks a pop. And mind you, this was fifteen,
sixteen, seventeen years ago. This is a to me, right,
oh yeah, right yeah, And I was eighteen. I'm like, oh
my god, fifty bucks. That's so much money. So I started looking
into it. I found a website rite dan dot net. There's any OG's
out there. I was on there for thirteen years until June of last year
when they shut down permanently. And I've been on only fans, but I
was kind of just dabbling. I wasn't putting much time into it. I
was doing you know, five six, seven hundred bucks a month, nothing
crazy. But once my my main, my primary website shutdown, I decided,
all right, let's just lean into only fans and let's see what we
can do. Beat selling, amway, I'm sorry, beat selling, amway,
I'm sorry. It's an old school show, all right. So you
go on there, and are you making that? I mean, Chicago's not
cheap. Are you making a good decent amount of money on there? I
own a two bed, two bed, two bad condo in Chicago and Lincoln
Park, Well maybe I won't go that far north side. Wow wow,
Okay, White sox you are making enough, because we hear this, and
I always wonder, right, like, in the podcast world, there's millions
of podcasts. Not everybody's gonna make that Joe Rogan's making. They're just not
making one hundred million dollar deals. So I always think there's got to be
you know, different stuff. So how many hours a day are you creating?
Oh my god? So usually the easiest way to split things up,
I would say, I spend more time chatting over anything else, Okay,
talking to people, trying to you know, discourage them from asking for free
stuff, blocking or muting the people who are asking for freebes constantly and not
you know, giving me anything in return. But as far as creating those
I have a schedule for that. You do, so I will create on
like certain days of the week. It is kind of depending on my schedule.
So I'll create on those days and just make certain amounts of sets.
And it's like sometimes I'll do like some live some live creation as well,
but that just costs a little bit more because you have to give that person
all of your time instead of dividing it between other people. Oh a second,
So if you do live, you do it private. For one person,
Like if if they're like I want to see this specific pose or whatever,
then like if there's like specific requests, there's a higher ticket for paying
for that session. Okay, so are there now? When do you?
I don't know what I can can ask or not ask, but in terms
of creation, like because OnlyFans, you're able to do whatever you want.
And I kind of like it because it sort of gives the power back to
the creator where I think I've always had a very very hard stance on like
feminism and owning my femininity and owning my sexuality. And you know, I've
been doing this since the day I turned eighteen, literally the day I started,
I started doing sex work. And it's given me the business ethic,
the confidence, the drive, the intrinsic motivation to get things done and to
be my own boss. Because there's no one handing me it to do and
say here, do this. I had to organize myself. Okay, I
want to I have a question. How old are you? May I ask
how old you are now? I'm thirty two and you've been okay, and
what how old were you when you started on OnlyFans? On OnlyFans, I've
been on only fans for four years twenty eight. So when you were eighteen
and you were doing sex work, what did you start doing things like selling
your panties and things like that. Yes, I was. I was purely
doing like foot fetish selling socks, underwear, eband was very fetish driven.
But it was very much It wasn't so much gse like the girlfriend experience.
It was very much like the weird stuff, like the weird random stuff.
You're way cooler than I thought. Okay, no, no no, And
when I say to this, I've got I've got some more to me.
No. But here's Here's what I mean is I could tell you're comfortable talking
about this because I have questions, but I always worry when I don't know
you don't want to Well, first of all, you don't know me.
So if I say something, I don't want you to think I'm making fun
of it. I'm not. I find this so interesting. I find it
interesting that they that guys would buy use panties right, and not from you
know what I'm saying, Like, I can't wrap my head around it.
No, but I want to talk to that guy and go why why?
Right? Like wouldn't you rather know that I get to remove the panties and
see what's below them. But whatever, the why is the symptom of something
else? Yes, but I love that you are that. So when you
talk about sex work, did you ever do porn the kind of control by
somebody else or was there always things where you had the control? Nope,
I've always been in the driver's seat. Yeah, It's always been what I
want. Yeah, I kind of like that. So on your page.
Then, now is it just you or do you sometimes to bring other people
in and is their sex? Yes, there are sex. I do have
a male partner that I do work with, and I do collaborate with female
creators as well. Okay, now do you have to hand them ten ninety
nine for their work? Are they independent contractors or they work through you?
This is well, I laugh right, it sounds like a ridiculous question,
but I'm not joking. I don't. I don't. I think the biggest
thing that like in cells like to make fun of is they're like, well,
these whores aren't paying No, I'm definitely paying tax on every single cent
that I get from a list. Yeah, I'm sure you are. That's
why I asked about the ten ninety nine, because if you're leasing these people
out, then you got to send them so you get your money back,
so you're not it's not costing you all this buddy, and you know what,
they're having a good time. I don't need to pay them out.
Oh okay, that's awesome. Wow, that's awesome. But what they do
have to do because of SASA and Tessa and anti trafficking laws, they are
very very strict on the content creation and anyone. If there is a fingernail
inside of a photo and it is not tagged, it will get flagged and
it will get removed by only fans. Yep. So they have people that
police this, people in Ai. People in Ai to police it that's in
it, and they will pull anything that a hand. There was like a
I think there was a knee that I didn't tag and the photo got pulled.
So do you have to go? So you're not kidding like, I
can't just tag the person's face. I have to tag each section of their
body if if it is inside of a photo, they must be tagged.
Wow, have to be accounted for. It's due to Foster and SESTA and
those are you know, those became very very trying to keep people safe right
within. Yeah, absolutely absolutely, And it's you know, you don't want
your stuff up there without your consent, and it's revenge porn laws and I'm
totally for it. It's just it's very and things aren't tight and loose the
way it was in the early two thousands or on eband it was very kind
of you uploads your ID and that was it, okay, back in my
day. And I mean really though, I'm a veteran here, okay,
so I kind of like, see, this is the thing where I think,
right, you want to be I don't know, maybe you're attracted to
sex work. Can you go back out in the eighties nineties and you wind
up doing porn? This is where I feel like people you see some of
the tragedies. I think there was a documentary done about porn. I call
them porn stars, but porn performers, and how some of them just became
so depressed addicted to drugs. It's like almost as though sometimes the memories come
like I can't believe I did that. At least here it's you and your
partner, right, you choose, you go when you want to, you
do what you want to do. You're not told what to do. You're
not, you know, I kind of. I don't know why. It
just seems like a I don't know how else to say it a healthier way
of doing what people have been looking at forever. You know what I'm saying.
It puts the control back on the performer. Yeah, so you no
longer feel pressured by, you know, a person or a pimp or a
company to do certain things. There are companies that will help you run your
page and they will ask for a certain level of explicit content okay, and
you can you can either decide to work with that company or not. You
could run your own page and have your own rules or not. There's a
lot of different avenues that you can take, okay, uh gin fit.
You can go to OnlyFans dot com slash ginfit to us see your page.
I would assume there you sign up and you do. You have different tiers
that people can pay. I have a free page, so it's all PPV,
which is pay per view. So if you want to see something fun,
my mom could look at my page on the outside for free and won't
have anything crazy. Do you want to see? You see the good stuff?
You got to come to the DM. Yeah. Now, i' you
sound like a really open person, very much. Danny's got a question my
answer. I got a lot of questions, I know, but you seem
like a very open person. And I would think then your mom has is
aware of what you you've done. Were they okay with it? Yeah?
Yeah, they kind of they one. It's been an interesting topic I've been
bringing up lately, as like my only fans has taken off more and more.
Yeah, at what at what number? At what fiscal number do people
start respecting it? Is it ten thousand dollars a month? Is it twenty?
Is it thirty? Right? Where are people? You know? Where
are people drawing that line? But once you start getting into you know,
those that ten twenty thirty forty grand a month, people start to keep a
joke to themselves a little more sure. I would he here would be my
my take on it a little bit. I don't have daughters. I'm fifty
two years old. I have three sons and two or in their early twenties
and one still a teenager. Uh. If I had a daughter, I
would go. I would prefer she didn't, but if she did, it's
her life. And if she's got the control. That's the part of it
I really like. And if she's gonna and you have to be successful at
this I'm watching, you got to be disciplined, And then I really believe
that. And that's the way my parents agree as well. They're you know,
like would they would they rather that I do work a nine to five
corporate job, like maybe, but they knew at a young age that I
was not. I was always a little bit rebellious. I was always had
crazy hair, was like covered in tattoos and like a punk rocker. They
knew it wasn't gonna happen, and they just they're just glad I'm not on
drugs or exactly exactly. As long as you're happy, I think that's really
truly the thing. As long as you're happy, and I want to say
self sustaining, I think that most I took my mom to Vietnam must fall
for a twelve day trip. Really yep, she's reaping the benefit too.
Yeah, I mean that's great. I hear Vietnam is beautiful. I had
a friend who went over there, and I knew people went for their honeymoon,
remember Wesley, Oh, I didn't know that for a honeymoon. She
went there, oh wow, and loved it. Loved it. What were
you going to ask, Well, do you do you feel that there's a
shelf life to this? Like well for you, like a target time where
you're gonna be like, Okay, I don't want to do this anymore.
And do you find like when you collaborate with other people that they feel that
there may be a shelf life to do in this? I mean, I've
been in this world for so long and just it's not it's not easy money.
It's quick money, okay, and it's just it's just almost too easy
for me right now to give it up. And I don't want to give
up the nest egg. I also worked for myself. I'm also a personal
trainer. I like to stay busy. Yeah, so I do that in
the mornings and I work most of my only fans at night. So as
far as like a shelf life goes, I've been juggling these two different worlds
for eight years. I've been an independent personal trainer. I've been doing both
and because I get more fulfillment out of nutrition coaching and personal training, and
I don't get a ton of fulfillment out of doing sex work. So as
far as like attack on, it goes in like a timeline. Yeah,
I've been at it fourteen years in counting, so I don't see it going
anywhere anytime soon. But as far as like getting old, you know,
feel a little bit harder to keep up with these like twenty three year olds
who are getting tons of lip filler and like getting all this body work done.
And here I am thirty two, and you know I have signs of
aging. I am in my thirties. But I think some people enjoy that
look at all. Oh yeah they do. Everyone has their flavor, you
know. My flavor is always and as a guy in his early fifties,
I would rather look at somebody in their mid forties to fifties. For me,
exactly, I never was one of these guys. I see my guy
buddies who are divorced, and I knew what one. He was hanging out
with some chick in the early twenties. He goes, yeah, I don't
know if I can do it anymore. I'm talking about buying a boat.
She's talking about paying off her college loans. We're in two different worlds,
And I go, yeah, I mean that's that's just that Jordan walks in.
I know her son, that's my son. No, but there's something
to me about I've always said this. The sexiest age to me was forty
plus on a woman. The reason is I feel like that's the age you
could put on any shade of lipstick and walk in a room and feel confident.
You've got your confidence, You've got some life experience behind you. There's
a little bit of an I don't give a shit what you think kind of
thing, which I've always loved, and I don't know. I always found
that to be the sexiest age. So I say, jin Fit that you
could do this until you're eighty if you wanted to. I planned on it
because there's someone out there who's gonna buy it along with my panties. This
is what I'm saying. That's what I mean. Jim Fid, let me
ask you this question. I know, as a former Uber driver, and
we have a guy on the show who's not here today who is Uber driver
full time, that when Uber became legal in New York, of course we're
the last ones to do it, because we're the last ones to do everything.
All of a sudden, the cabvis got ticked off, and they would
actually go after uber and lyft drivers, sometimes physically right the more traditional sex
workers, have you felt any threats or anybody go after you because you've taken
off in this medium and they haven't figured out how to approach it or master
it. Is there any of that type of rivalry. There is almost like
a like a classism to it, where you'll see some you know, only
fans girls who are making you one hundred k a month, but they'll turn
their noses up at the term sex worker and say, well, I'm just
an only fans girl, and I'm like, no, baby, you're you're
a sex worker. But you'll see people who would turn their nose up at
the street based sex workers who are providing you know, physical services. But
we're all under the same umbrella, and there is no true hierarchy, and
people tend to lean I'm a psychic associal major just to press that, who
did my dissertation on street based sex worker? And I think there is like
I felt like I was robbing people of that title when I was calling myself
a sex worker, but I wasn't providing physical sex. I got you,
So I started like leaning into like spicy work or like something a little bit
different. So I mean, do I feel do I hang out with escorts?
Absolutely? Do I hang out with people who call themselves like prostitutes hookers?
Like, yeah, I know them all, But I don't think there's
any kind of animosity because they know that, especially if they're friends with me,
that they would have the opportunity and the resources to create this page,
and like the external marketing and everything that goes into the advertisement and the traffic
and all that stuff. They would have that if they were friends with me.
It's interesting because I think sex work should be legalized like the prostitution.
Just for this, I disagree. I think it should be decriminalized. Okay,
decriminalized okay, I would say I like it just in terms of trying
to make it safe for people is my thing. Involving the government doesn't always
necessarily mean it's safer. You are right, you are a hundred percent right.
We talked about marijuana in this state. It's just been a nightmare,
but so the fair point. But my point is just in terms of trying
to keep people safe and healthy, I think it is all a good thing.
And that's where like with only fans, I feel like it kind of
there's a little bit more of a safe experience. And I also think that
it lets people who are we're very prudish in this country, we don't want
to yeah, so, but you give them a one on one experience that
they don't have to tell anybody that they look at a lot. Yeah,
there's a lot of people who are, you know, exploring their sexuality and
exploring different fetishis and they're not comfortable, you know, disclosing that to someone
else, and someone who's quote unquote professional, they feel more comfortable saying,
hey, I think I like feet. Can you show me, like there
was the soles of your feet? And they can start exploring that and go
oh, yeah I am into that or no, I'm not into that right,
and they don't have to try and error. Maybe I'm like their partner
or like a kinder date, which can be very weird. Well, let
me ask you. Do you get recognized in public by somebody who might be
I don't know, is the term client I don't know or a fan a
fan only fan fan. I had to really message me and I was downtown
doing something and they were I got a message that was like, hey were
you read this time. I was like, no, wasn't me. But
still the fact that you popped into somebody's mind, I mean, yeah,
it's an attention game, so that that's a great thing. You cut through.
That's random, That's what it's all about. How many like in terms
of trying to market yourself, right, You've got your Instagram page, which
then would probably try to drive people to your only fans. What else are
you doing and how much work is that? The stromer, the aspect is,
the terrain is ever changing. Reddit was once the top tier promotion for
only fans people, you see, Yeah, until that that recent blackout,
then things really changed. So you kind of have to like hop on the
carousel and hop off. So you got to like do some promoting here for
a couple of months, then get off and then do a different one.
So it's not this like copy paste, cut and dry. It's always changing.
TikTok is now the big thing. You have to do, the trending,
trending audios on the TikTok. You had to post three to five times
a week on that. The Instagram is more your like super fans page,
where like all of your best fans are like they just want to see more
of you every single day on every platform. So I'd say, like right
now, it would be TikTok, Reddit, I guess Instagram. Twitter has
always been big for sex work, but Twitter, you know, had a
little bit of a weird dip with the X transformation thing. But I mean,
TikTok is just up for everything as far as like promotion goes. Did
you figure this all out on your own? So Reddit does have a lot
of really helpful uh like pages like OnlyFans advice is super super helpful. I've
been on there for years, just lurking for the most part, but a
lot of it is also just stuff that you you would never you would It's
not written on the internet anywhere. You have to be in the business,
in the circle with these people like I'm friends with, you know, one
of the administrators at OnlyFans And the only way, you know, I got
my homepage promotion was by knowing this person and getting in front of him and
having dinner and wow, just being being around And that's a huge privilege.
And I don't, I certainly don't, So what don't don't don't forget that?
So Jim, what what is that? That? What are you talking
about the homepage like you're on. If I go to OnlyFans, you're on
their cover page. So there's something called o FTV and it's it's kind of
like having like your own internal YouTube channel on Only care Okay, okay,
So I have my silly little videos that you know, it's like travel travel
hacks to like stuff to bring with you to make sure you stay on top
of your fitness. Or I did a hot tub boat vlog. What else
have I done? And that's a watermelon with my legs. Way to go
Gallagher. That's awesome. Okay, So this is Susanne Summers and Gallagher had
a watermelon. Yes, that's uh. I don't even know if she'll get
I'll dress up as Gallagher next time. All right, she did get it,
Okay, all right, yeah, I just there are very old references.
So I apologize that I find this really interesting and I think that it's
your You should write a book on how to do this. And you know,
I was like, I've been trying to kind of get on a podcasts
and find somewhere to to talk about it because I am very passionate about it.
I've been doing it a very long time. I'm very knowledgeable when it
comes to it. So yeah, I got like a low to offer in
this world. Are there conventions for this? Only fans conventions where you guys
meet and talk about best practices. I'm not joking. No, not only
sing I mean Exotica was in Chicago last weekend. I ended up skipping it,
and if you like it, But but that's my free cams. But
you've got only fans my free cams. Chatterbay. You've got tons of different
websites fans. I forget I did you okay? Chatterbay was Chatterbay was interesting,
wasn't. I don't even know what it is. It's all new to
me. Well, it's all it's it's just live cams, right that you
can just go in and click, but you can pop in and out of
different rooms and it's yeah, it's more cam style. Yeah, it's like
free and then if you want to, you can tip the people. Oh
okay, yeah, and should tip your people? You should, absolutely,
man, Uh do you what is the I'll ask you these two things.
What is the weirdest thing you were ever you ever sold in your mind?
And I'm thinking the weirdest thing to me would be if you told me you
sold the inner sole of a shoe, not the actual shoe, I would
find that weird. I'm just saying I made I cut a tortilla into the
shape of an insole the shoe, wore the tortilla in my shoe, and
then sold the tortilla gluten or gluten freen. This is awesome. That's phenomenal.
Spinach tortilla. Oh wow? What did you think when you were asked
to do this? I was like, cool, he's going to eat that.
I got sweaty seat and they smell so yeah, And that was the
first one off the top of my head I've got Did they pay a lot
of money for that? You don't have to say how much, but I
mean I think a hundred bucks? I think yeah, I mean okay,
And how long did they request that you have it in your shoe? I
mean it's going to disintegrate after eight hours. So I'm like, I got
a day in me and that's all I got. Wow, So you did
you wore it all day? Yeah? And that's the thing is people wore
I feel like, oh, well, you know, you're like easy to
have your boyfriend wearing or something. I'm like, yeah, but they're going
to know and as far as like retention goes, like it's a small world
and if they know that you're ripping them off, Yeah, no one else
is gonna buy from you. So did you have to did you send like
pictures of you putting it in your shoe, you putting your shoe on.
Yeah, Usually it's like pictures like wearing it or like like before after whatever
she tags it. That's not on only fans as from the previous site,
did you have to? Uh, who takes a lot of your pictures?
Because a lot of them aren't They're not selfies, right, You've got to
pose for these pictures and things, the ones that you put on Instagram,
trypod either gotcha? And then what is the weirdest request you ever had?
Did you do you take requests for people to either do live cam stuff or
sexual things or any any pictures. I've got someone so I'll live stream at
least at least twice a month. I try to shoot for four this guy
who comes on and usually I have like a lie. I'll do like a
free a free one, and then I'll I'll go into like a paid one
that's a little spicier. Okay, but I have someone who always, like
you can do like a hidden message on the side, so like only the
creator can see it, so the message isn't for like everyone who's in that
live stream, gotcha, So it'll just be said to me and it will
be like I will tip you fifty dollars if you pretend to fart and then
wave your hand in front of your face and pretend like it's stink. So
I'm like, you, motherfucker, why are you doing this? So did
you do it? Of course yeah, you got to. But because nobody
else probably knew what was happening, or did they No, It's like,
I mean I didn't actually fart, but like right exactly, I had to
make like a stink face and like wave my hand. The easiest fifty boughts
ever made. It's like what they call the sex line. Are they this
old lady in a trailer? Could you like put the phone on your butt?
That's what it feels like. Yeah, And they just sat there and
it's like three ninety nine minute and they're just racking up a bill while the
phones on this lady's But so, what was your major again? Psych and
so so what when you see these people, do you ever think, Holy,
I hope I never meet them in real life. Oh, I'm like
you, who hurt you? Oh? Yeah, you must know what buttons
to push though? Oh I didn't even think of that. I mean yeah,
but sometimes there it's this. It's when it comes to like don sub
stuff. It's just it's the subs are just too annoying. Do you do
dominatrix stuff I did in college? You did? So? Was that when
you were in college? Was that online? Or is that in person?
That was in person? And I hated it? Oh, okay, because
it's not for me. It's usually not sexual things there. It's usually just
like physical right, but it's causing pain. I would think usually five hundred
bucks to get my feet an hour to get my feet rubbed. Wait,
five hundred dollars an hour for to for someone to rub your feet. Yeah.
God, you had to be the richest chicken college. And that's what
the ten ninety nine comes in, because you have to have somebody else come
in and that's in a contractor that's amazing that that was cash. Look at
this. See you're an entrepreneur. I appreciate it. You know what you
got a body, go use it. That's the thing. It's been no,
not at all. That's that was the part of stuff when I see
OnlyFans and they go, I hope people realize to really make it. It's
it's an attention game. You've got to be everywhere a lot, doing a
lot of things. And not only that, you've got to maintain so maybe
somebody's into someone who maybe I don't know, a little more zoftic, a
little thicker, little whatever. You got to maintain that. You don't want
to get too big, you don't want to get too small. Or if
you're very fit, you got to stay fit. There's a lot of work
just in that, plus all the pictures, the promotion, the thing.
Some people I would assume have teams. Like she said, it's quick money,
it's not easy money. She said, yeah, right, yeah,
And you know you can have a virtual assistant who can help like make your
reels for you. And do you know your posting across socials and that's that's
something that's really nice to utilize. That freethes up a ton of time.
Posting on socials is terribly time totipating. It is where do you find those
people? Do you get them on like Fiverr and stuff. Yeah, oh
okay, I should look into that just for the podcast. Let me ask
you, like, you're in Chicago. You love Chicago, but we know
that Chicago's a lot like New York. It's in the state of Illinois,
which is a lot like New York state, which means you got to pay
state taxes. Have you made enough money to the point where you're thinking I
might relocate to Nevada, Texas, Tennessee, Florida state without a state income
tax. Have you got to that? No? No, no, not
at all. Okay, that's like I've got a really good account as well,
and you know I also have my my personal training business that you have
got six figures on as well. So good. We kind of roll that
on in the one Good for you. Oh wow, okay, well,
it has been really cool talking to you. Thank you so much for green
to come on. Yeah, of course, Yeah, it was fun.

and I'm going to perform to the song guitar wiener. So we know a
guy. So we know a guy. It's not a silly little worked in
radio. Yeah, it's not the same. And he goes and posts on
social media. He's at a meeting for for football or whatever. His kids
like eleven or twelve. Right, So in the middle of the meeting they're
they're having the parents meeting and everybody sitting on the grass, the parents and
the kids, and his kid decides to pull his pants down and play what
they call what he called guitar wiener in front of everybody. He's like fiddally
within and play it like it's a guitar. The thing is is that he
pulls this on not the not the actual act, but he posts the fact
that his son did this on social media. Okay, I and I write
to him, I go, I could only think of one thing more embarrassing
than that, meaning, why did you post this about your kid? Your
kid is this unknowingly in front of all these poets, kidd but twelve The
kid was twelve. Yeah, he's playing guitar, you know. Okay,
I'll tell you that it is a little weird. But that's my point though,
is that the father posts this on He's embarrassment on social media, and
I'm like, I could only think of one thing that would be more embarrassing
than that. Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't post that. I wouldn't
post that. I would honestly kind of worry about Good. To a psychologist,
I'd be a little bit worried about the kid, although only because there's
other adults that are like time and place, Like if it were just with
a bunch of your buddies and you're in the locker room and all of a
sudden, you know you're proud of that your unit. Could I could see
somebody do it, Yes, I totally could. I wouldn't do that.
I could see somebody do it, sure, or you know, I mean
doing just the little things like that, I have no problem. I could
see you doing something like that in high school because you'd have the type of
cloud that could get away with that. But I wouldn't do it in front
of other parents and adults right and strangers. I'm not doing it there,
but I am doing it for a small audience. I'm doing it for my
only fans, and my only fans that'll be my only fans. I would
do that. That's pretty funny. Uh, Danny and I were talking to
Dandy. We were talking, but just about ads, and we'll put something
together at another point. But uh, it's just how the ads today.
Some ads are really direct, but I think it kind of takes down the
stigma of certain body parts stinking and all this other stuff and other ads like
you would never heard of years ago. And then some ads from years ago
you would never here today. There are certain ones you would never hear no
all. So we're gonna put something together and see what we can find out.
Uh what what all those are? Uh? You have a fit bit,
so we'll call it a smart smart device, right, yes, smart
device. And I've been thinking of, uh, a smart watch. I
got a smart watch and then I didn't. And I would think that if
there's anybody who has a conspiracy theory, maybe not a conspiracy theory, but
a concern of being overly watched or having too much data about them, I'm
thinking I have I think his name is Dan Brella. Would that be like
do you have a little bit of a concern about that? Yes? Yeah,
yes, I mean I use a browser for for my everyday you know,
stuff on the internet that that it's called Brave where nobody can track you.
I've never even heard of this. Yeah, it's it's what paraly what
what? What? Wait? What what? It's not paranoid. I used
to get a lot of robo calls. See every time you visit a site.
You know, if you have a Chrome account or a Gmail account,
right, which most people now have nowadays, it tracks everything. So you
could, like, if you open up a brow Chrome browser and you have
a Chrome Gmail account, you could go to any computer and it'll open up
all the sites that you went to recently, no matter what computer it was
on. That's a little creepy, you know. And then on top of
that, but you have to sign into Chrome, right yeah, but it's
it's like you don't even have to sign it, and you just click on
it and go to your like, you know, put up your like you
just sign into your email and all of a sudden, oh yeah, look.
And so what kind of makes it easy for you is they sell finish
so all the if you're into that. But the point does he ever get
unstucked leave? I don't know. But the point is that any if any
of those sites, like your email whatever, has your phone number, and
they and you say, like you look it up, Okay, I'll look
it up weights. I want to look up these types of weights. All
of a sudden you get all these ads for weights and sometimes you get a
call, you know, from a fitness center. What you get these robo
calls. Since I've used this browser, my robo calls have dropped down to
paranoia. Tim Poole will talk about on his show, and he just happened
to use it because it blocks a lot. I don't know what. I
don't know much about Tim Poole. Tim Poole, he became famous during the
occupy movement. He was covering it for Vice and he's a self made journalist
though, And what happened was he started seeing certain patterns and being told not
to cover certain things. He goes, yeah, but this is newsworthy.
No, don't cover that, don't cover this, don't cover that. I
got a huge don't cover that. Then he started to figure out that the
media that he was working for at the time, Vice only wanted him to
cover stuff that favored left leaning theory and left leaning news. And so he
started realizing that, putting pieces together and figuring out that more and more media
lean to that side. So he started investigating more and more stuff and then
found himself as a classical liberal growing up leaning more towards the center. Okay,
some people say he's right wing, He's not right wing. But the
point is that he has built an empire on his own on YouTube with Tim
cast Irl, and he has guests on both sides of the Ledger who come
in and they talk about everyday issues, they talk about stuff, and he's
done a really good job with it to the point where they've built, like
a or not, they've built. They've bought a Manchi that I believe in
West Virginia, and they've been like swatted like eight or nine times because people
have found this look because they want to shut him up. I'm serious,
but like he's but he has and he has a huge farm and everything else,
and he's hired people to do investigative journalists. The guy he wears,
he wears like a beanie. He's got a goatee and stuff. He looks
like he could have been a member of Smashing Pumpkins at one point. But
he's got some interesting people on this show. And the basic thing is,
like his whole thing is he just wants America to be free. All right,
Okay, So and he talks about Brave and that's you know, he
doesn't talk about it, he uses it. I'm like, I wonder if
I should use that, okay, And so I started using it and my
robo calls went down to zero. Okay, all right, I never heard
of Brave. Yeah, I don't know. It's a lot like Duck Duck
Go, which also doesn't track you. Yeah, I remember, well,
I saw ads for Duck Duck Go. They were on more mainstream stuff.
Joe Rogan used to talk about Duck Duck Go a lot you go to.
Uh, I've used Duck Duck Go. You are on all the things.
I just used Firefox. That's all I got. Firefox is good, but
Firefox also will like you know, I'm track you. Yeah, I'm trackable,
Danny and if you want to see where I'm going and who I'm looking
at. But the fitbit actually saved my life well, and I had a
subscription to that, and it's actually kept my data. I saw a story
today forty nine year old guy in New York City, uh, riding one
of those e bikes because he lived five minutes from his office. That was
his way to commute. Driving rainstorm hits an eight inch pothole that's filled with
water. But because it's filled with water and you're riding, you can't tell.
Goes like base sickly, as my grandmother would say, ass over tea
kettle just I mean, knocks him right. So he gets himself home and
he's trying to figure out if he's got like a broken nose. His face
is all banged up, all this stuff. He gets in the shower and
his nose won't stop bleeding. All of a sudden, it just starts bleeding.
So he gets out of the shower. He gets dizzy, and he
goes down and whacks his head on the side of the tub, and the
next thing he knows, he's waking up to a nine one one operator saying
nine one one, what's your emergency? Because the phone, because because this
smartphone called. And you know, my mom lives alone, and she doesn't
want to have one of those you know much falling it. I can't get
up a bracelet. Yeah, so she didn't want that, but so she
has the smart watch. And I'm like, I this guy was forting nine.
Any kind of shit could happen? Do you understand? I'm saying,
like, you know, I like to go race cars or something. I
could reckon to a sidewall, come home, and later that night, all
of a sudden, go into who knows what, like, get dizzy,
fall hit my head, and I live alone. I'm like, maybe I
should get one of these fucking things. And then you started to think,
well that seems a little paranoid and weird, and do they track your data
and stuff I had. I was going to get one, and then I
decided I didn't want that because I felt like I was on a different plan
and people could see it, and I'm like, I don't want any of
that. But now I'm not, and and I see this, and the
guy's like that it saved my life. And then there's I mean, there
was a couple other instances where people were saying, I think, let me
see this. In December, a Delaware woman narrowly escaped the jaws of death
after using the Apple watch SOS feature to dial emergency services during a carbon monoxide
leak. Pretty good, yeah. A British man credited his Apple Watch for
saving his life after it detected his heart had stopped nearly one hundred and thirty
eight times in forty eight hours. Oh yeah, well that's how I felt.
A yeah exactly. And so there are times like I'm laying in bed
and if I roll over, I can feel my heart race, and then
it does that, so I go, I think, So there's alternatives too.
You know, you get the Apple Watch, the apple Watch will actually
give you an EKG. Yeah, you got to pay extra for that.
Yeah, you do well. You have to pay well for a lot of
this stuff you got. I have blood pressure so fucking low and my pulse
rates low. On fin there's one thing I think it's really accurate. It's
called the Aura ring. Have you seen this. Yeah, I've heard you
wear it on your index figure. It actually doesn't look bad. Actually it
looks kind of stylish. But it's like price has started like three hundred bucks
and the subscriptions are about six dollars a month. But I mean they'll tell
you when you're coming down with something like three days before you're coming down with
something, that type of stuff. It'll talk about your heart rate and all
this other stuff. You know. But if you're living alone, it's not
a bad thing to have. And you're what you're saying, and you're hearing
this from the guy who's more paranoid than anything. Yes, you are more
paranoid. But yeah, I don't call you paranoid. I don't think you're
I don't think a parandoid. I think I'm just aware. I think you're
I think you overthink I do. I think I think you got everybody in
your head. And when they say things, and I think you put guys
like Tim Poole who are smart guys. Probably some people think he's an idiot,
all right, but I mean I don't. It has a way Dawson
does, but I don't. Okay, I'm not taking a shot at Evan
has said that he thinks Tim Poole's an idiot. We're on a percent ends
of the spectrum. But I see your point though. What I'm saying is
people you think you're smart, you're you're influenced by that. Yeah, Like
today, I'm watching Peter Atia talk about the five supplements everyone should take.
Who's Peter and Tia Peter Atiya Peter. He's a wellness guy like Andrew Huberman,
one of those types, and they've grown these followings because they've developed,
you know, techniques for wellness. But like Gary Brecae, these guys are
all part of the same, you know, Yeah, you know longer,
Yeah, getting the word out, and he talks about here, here's what
I do. I'm not a doctor, but here we've done studies on this
and here's why it works. So all I do is I take it under
invisement and go, Okay, should I be considering taking more like you know,
be he supplement. Should I take creatine? Should I take more magnesium?
Yes? The magnesium has helped me sleep better. Creatine is magnesium does
Creatine puts a lot of water weight on you? It does? Yeah,
I does. I don't know that. It's war like people want a body
build. I don't think I'm a creatine type. I don't think I would
say just like you, I'm gonna say no, I'd like I'd like to
be by the way. Eight days Billy without sugar? Wow, eight days
without sugar the crumble cookies and you sitting. No, they won't know,
they won't unless unless Kevin, how are you feeling, I'm feeling good,
feeling no sugar? Eight days? No? Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good.
Okay, but having pelvic pain. But other than that, you know,
but that's been going on for like a month. Well maybe you're pregnant,
could be your period. Maybe you got that. Yeah, I got
a heavy flow off one time. I that's at a funny story. So,
uh, friend from school girl woman, she lost a ton of weight.
Now, she was never a bigger girl to begin with, but all
of a sudden she got really skinny. R She goes, I O,
I had Peakos and I had never heard of Peakos before. I go,
it's a great band. I go, I wonder if I had they just
they just know, they just played it? Why did they? Yeah?
Collah, they fucking crushed it. Pikos. Were they on the south stage?
No, they were in the They were right in the center, the
center stage. So I'm like, so I go to my doctor. I
go, well, you know, I had a friend from school say she
had Peakos. And he started to laughing. Because do you have ovaries?
He goes, you gotta stop talking. Yes, you do so fucking five
years ago. Yeah, because did you no idea ally systic ovarians? Did
you ever bother to look it up? She had polycystic ovarian cysts. Yes,
we're retaining water and she got rid of that and she yeah, she
ended up like losing weight and got hot. Someone tried to hit her in
the ovaries. So but the point was like, I'm like, I'm asking
myself, you know, do I have that? Yeah? I half that.
Yeah, like that Chris Rock chokes. Do you go to bed at
night and they wake up in the morning. Okay, okay, we need
to examine this for a second, why are you so fucking influenced by all
this stuff? Nothing, I'm influenced, I asked, you are if she
SAIDs you at Picos, she use your doctor viewers five years ago. I
don't do that anymore. Yes, you do? You just said you did.
Yeah, I got I consider it under advicement. Do you know what
I was laughing coming back? I was laughing coming back because I was laughing,
and then Danny's like, what I and then we got sidetracked. The
reason I was laughing was as I'm playing that that John Mayers song, I'm
thinking, if Danny hit on really hard times, would he allow Beth to
do an only fans that he directed? If she's knitting sure naked naked?
No, no, no, I would not want my wife to know.
What if Beth like wanted to do that? What if Beth said to you,
I own my body, it's mine, and I want to What do
you mean? No? You married all of a sudden, you become The
Bible says two people will become one flesh. Okay, but it's different.
It's not different, it's different. In twenty twenty four, God's word is
immutable, Billy, Okay, Well you know what Christ is. Heaven and
earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. Christ is
in all of us. We're all Christ. You accept him, yes,
we're all Christ. Like apt him, all right? But you get very
easily influenced by all this stuff. Clearly, no, I consider I'm curious.
Yeah, I'm curious about everything. I am. Doesn't mean I necessarily
do it. Serious, Danny, you just gave me three fucking things.
You did. You got brave, which it sounds sounds smart, sounds like
a word. Yeah, you thought you blocking in hernet trackers. She's like
you had pikos. That was five years ago. That's your doctor. I
thought it was a disease. I didn't know it was an acrotive? Okay,
why did you go to web MD? Well, it was like the
next day it just had was like a bang bang play was it? Yeah?
You know I talked to my my friend friend she had POS. Wonder
if I got it bloating little? I don't know. She's lost a ton
of weight she did. Doctor. Yeah, Okay, Dan, you know
he told me he goes. Nobody wants to hear this. And I've told
you this before, told me this recently too. You just kind of eat
less. Yeah, and I go. The one thing though, is yeah,
but I am I'm not eating anything, Doc. I'm telling you right
now, Doc, I writing down everything I I hate. Oh I forgot
the Crumble. That's what I'm saying, is like we all, Danny,
I'm the same way. I am out of weight right now. My fitbit
got an alert from Crumble asking me if I will I will. I will
tell you, like I understand what you're saying, and your doctor's right,
and we don't. We don't really pay attention to what we're eating a lot
like I would go. I a couple of months ago was feeling pretty good
because I was doing a thing and then I fell off of it. Uh,
I don't know why, but I did. So now I'm out of
weight I've never seen before on the scale ever, like ever at all?
Yeah, oh yeah, like try again tomorrow. Bomb. So I was
like, all right, I gotta change this. And I was starting to
notice some things that were hurting and this and that. So it's been a
slow process. But if I were to be honest, I would go home
after the podcast. And part of the reason for many months I would stay
in the studio is there's no food here, and I would go home and
just go to bed, but it would be going home at like midnight one
o'clock in the morning. I don't want to do that from here. I
just want to go home. I like to put on my music and work
on the podcast and do some stuff. And if I get phone calls and
my kids and think you're a home, you're home in your environment. And
it just was kind of nicer. But home also has cheese and crackers,
pepperoni. It had wine and beer and oreoles. It had oreos. For
a little while, I got high in eight oreos. You know, get
high from the oreos, because that could happen too probably. I know at
first I got high and then I ate yours. And by the way,
the Paul Newman oreos are not substitute. All I'm saying is like that is
really what put me over the top. And I knew it. And now
it's a habit that you've had to break. So it's hard to do,
and that that's been my problem. But I also see with you, and
I will say I am curious as well. I like to see things and
like kind of pay attention and see, listen to somebody, and sometimes if
they go a little too wacky, I think, yeah, But I've been
doing that flu bomb every single day. Every night before I go to bed,
I crush up the ginger and the garlic, lemon and cayenne pepper and
honey and warm water and I just shoot that down. Now, I think
that's part of the reason my blood pressure has been lower and I haven't gotten
sick. And I've been out in public and I've had people say to me,
like one of my kids called me and goes, man, I wish
I was doing that. I was a big group of people and I got
a cold. I've known more people who have. Kevin here on the podcast
had some kind of cold. Right, Yeah, it sounds like a sea
pep machine, but one of those two. Yeah, So I get it,
and and that would be a weird thing. Not many people are doing
that. And then I read someone I saw somebody else who said, kiaenn
Pepper's great. It doesn't clean out your arteries, but it's very good for
you. Would enlarge as your arteries. If you want to clean out your
arteries, you need this fat something supplement. So I ordered that and I
hasn't arrived yet. Is it the Omega threes with the Dha and the e
p A. I don't know, Okay, I'm sorry, I don't think
so. Okay, No, she's not only fans e PA, but so
there's all that, So I get it. But you gotta just you seem
to like they're telling the truth online, and I go, it's still down.
Not your self worked out, but your self works out. If I
told you everything's gonna work out who I voted for in the last two presidential
elections, you might be surprised. No, it wouldn't be, Okay,
I wouldn't be at all. I'm gonna tell you what I did, who
I didn't vote for, and I might vote for him this time. Yeah,
I know. Yeah, I didn't vote for him either time. Yeah.
By the way, I didn't vote for the current guy. I didn't
vote last election presidentially. I'm like, you know what you two. No,
No, can't do it. No, No, I'm not this staunch
conservative. My whole thing is on the side of truth and freedom, and
wherever you land on that spectrum, I'm all for you. And right now,
the only if you could call him a politician, the only politician who
I think actually espouses those beliefs. Is Sheriff Baxter. And I'm not saying
that because he's been on the show in front of I'm saying it because he
actually espouses those beliefs. I can't say that about well, I'm not going
to name any names, but everybody else I'd agree Sheriff Baxter is very good
and has been very honest about things. He's like, I'm cool with changing
laws and changing things. You just got to give us some time and direction,
you know. I mean that's part of the problem that we're seeing today
with so many things. All right, this guy and they mean to get
away from but like the I think the or ring, yes, could be
hell full five, I would I'm not getting ring. Okay, well get
this. Don't wear any jewelry. Now, you're not a jewelry guy.
I know that I wear no jewelry, I have no tattoos. I am
as boring as as can be when it comes to that. Remember that time
that we had an endorsement deal with the place that rhymes with the horse,
and you actually got some jewelry from them, yes, and you actually like
got a new wedding ring and all that stuff. It's the only time I've
seen you wear jewelry and then the bracelet now is with Jamison. Oh that's
cool. Yeah, it's a big chunky How about the ring or the rings?
What do people do with those? I still have my old one.
I probably I have it somewhere. Yeah, I think I do too.
I have no idea where. Yeah, sometimes I play ring toss with it.
I have a little nail and I try to got it all right,
We'll take a moment. But first, Iron Smoke Distillery in Fairport, New
York. I was just thinking about this. They are locally sourced, use
local ingredients to make award winning spirits that are appreciated globally. Isn't that cool

your Come on home, b I got a song for you. It's my
all time A little John for something. I'll call them winter Time Blue.
That's right, John Hyatt, Pastor and disaster. So I'm looking at I.
Uh, well, if I want to talk about this, uh,
I'll talk about it. What the fucking I? I will say that I'll
be rawly honest Raleigh to the point of uncomfortably honest in this segment for as
we wrap it up tonight, there has been the you know, the transition
to this has been bumpy at times, and uh not not an easy transition
for me at first, because you were getting a regular paycheck and now all
of a sudden, you weren't getting a regular paycheck and everything was falling on
you. And it only reminded me because I didn't turn on the cameras the
last set. But things have taken a drastic, almost one to eighty turn
with the podcast, which I had a feeling it would have. And I
would believe that one of the keys to success in life for anybody, for
anything, is persistence and consistency. Persistence and consistency. Are you going to
hit a home run every night? No, but that's okay, just show
up and be there. And and because of the people that have continued to
download the podcast and it has continued to grow, it's fantastic for as far
as podcasts go. I mean, depending on who you talk to, I
think, again, like the only fans you hear the people who are getting
these one hundred million dollar deals. But we've been able to do something that
I don't know anybody else who has done it. I don't personally know anybody.
I know people who have gone and done and left media to try to
start their thing, they haven't done it. I talked to somebody who was
at a level in radio today that was at a level in radio that very
very very few ever reach. They know, the success and the amount of
money that this person made in the radio medium was in the multi millions of
dollars, and which is which is nearly unheard of, nearly unheard of.
So and now they're doing the podcast thing and we were kind of talking and
They're going to be part of another project that I'm doing. But all this
stuff, like in the last month has just flipped and uh, tomorrow will
tell you more about it on a four to twenty show. But I got
to get a little more like control on on these things because there's a TV
deal now. I like, whoa, I closed a TV deal today.
Nice Philly congratulates. Yeah. So it will be available in like one hundred
and forty seven countries and all languages. No, no, no, no,
nothing like that. So all this stuff has been you know, there's
been just been a lot of things like that. So, uh, I'm
just going to start tightening down who's on and who's not. Okay, I
have to do that, all right, because it just it isn't gonna work.
Nope, Nope, is not what I'm saying. Not what I'm saying
at all. I'm just tighten it down. You said it was uncomfortable segment.
Well maybe I just think like, no, no, no, no,
you better great addition to the show. But I mean in terms of
that, like, I can't just it. You know, there's been a
lot of people that have come through here. Yeah, this could be I've
just let I've just let anybody come on or anybody says, hey, you
know, I want to know, not anymore, Okay, all right,
it can't happen. And cracking the whip. Well, it's not really cracking
the whip. It's just tightening things down and having things better. I've over
the last week and just to let people know, I've spent a ton of
money. Uh, there's new marketing things. If you go to the Red
Wings games, you will see the bilified stuff. Got your own visa card
endorsement. Now, which, by the way, as somebody said, uh,
it is not they do things in the media called trade. It is
not a trade deal. We are paying for that. Uh, the TV
thing is not a trade deal where you know they came to to all this
stuff. So yeah, I mean behind the scenes, there's new lights,
new cameras. We'll get more cameras in here. Wall. Things are going
to be changing at meetings about that. And so there's just been a lot
of a lot of stuff, but a lot of great stuff, just really
cool things. And uh, and then I've also kind of changed where I
think that sometimes when light when when your life changes drastically. And I will
tell you that you are responsible for everything that happens to you. Whether you
like to hear that or not, whatever happens to you is is pretty much
your fault. Even if you want to say what, well, what are
you attracting? What are your thoughts? What are you thinking? All that
stuff? Because I believe is I will tell you after watching the eclipse more
more than anything. And that's really honestly, Dan, Since then till now
is when everything has kind of shifted through the clouds. You saw the eclipse.
Pill No, what I saw was what I know. But what I
saw was, in all seriousness, was I saw something that we had no
control over and we didn't have to worry about and we don't have to worry
about the sun coming up, and we don't have to worry about anything.
And I'm realizing that as you would say, God is always there for you,
I will say that God or infinite intelligence or source or whatever you want
is it. You are it. You are it that you are, and
you have the power and you have all that and all this was created and
it is evolving, it is changing, like I say. And the reason
I say that, at least in my thinking, is nobody comes here and
starts over. Everybody picks up where you left off. And you didn't bring
anything with you, You didn't truck in anything you needed. You came here
and it was all. Everything you need to have a successful life is right
here on this planet. Wherever you are, what your thoughts are are determined
how successful or not successful that life is. And the universe will support you.
You are loved, You were loved so unconditionally that it will support you
in whatever you believe. If you believe you don't have enough money, it
will support you. If you believe you could be you are the richest,
most intelligent person in the world, you will believe. And if you don't
believe that. I don't care want anything. I will say, who who
was a leader in the world that told everybody everything was huge, wonderful,
great? Who is that guy? Donald Trump? Yeah? And does everything
seem to work out for Donald? Like him or not? I don't give
a shit take that away. Does not everything seem to work out? Every
time they people will try to trip him up or do whatever. You can
say it's wrong, you can say it's right. You can say he deserves
me in court he doesn't deserve I don't know, and that's not what I'm
saying. But more often than not, does everything seem to kind of go
his way? Oh? Yeah, yeah? And I really think that it
has to do with whatever you believe, you will be supported in that belief.
That's what I think. And I've really thought that ever since. And
I don't know why I got on this odd tangent, but so in that
I think that when you have these major life shifts, when all of a
sudden things I'll call it not coming out of the blue, but out of
the oblivion. You were oblivious to it, and all of a sudden,
now your source of income's gone, you still have bills to pay, you
have children, you have people that are depending on you, You've got a
lot of money that's got to go out, and what are you going to
do? And I had an option. I could have gone to Chicago and
done afternoon radio, and I chose not to because music radio isn't what it
used to be. It's just not right. Talk radio is probably okay,
but that's not there's a chasm between the tanks, right, And it was
like, you could do this, but I'm also I mean, just being
honest, I'm not twenty five, right, So, and so you got
to go and start over somewhere. I'm like, fuck it, I'll start
over. I'll start over and bet on me. I'll bet on me.
I'll start over and bet on me. And it was at times, I
will say that it was mentally one of the hardest times I have gone through
in my life. Getting this to where it is today has been one of
the most challenging and uh psychologically difficult things I've ever gone through. And I've
decided, after watching the Eclipse, I go, fuck it. It's worked.
It's it's worked so far nothing. I haven't missed a beat. I
haven't missed a beat. I have child support payments and maintenance payments and college
payment. I haven't missed a beat. I haven't, I've rent, I
have nothing, this play, nothing everything, so clearly it'll all work out.
And I thought, fuck it, man, I want to go.
I'm going to go have a summer. I'm just the summer of George.
But no, but I'm gonna do everything. That's why I just went and
I just bought every new I bought cameras that are never be really in this
studio. They're for other projects that I don't even know how to operate.
I have no idea. I'll figure it out right. I call the guy
today, go, hey, I want to do this project. He goes,
great, when suit me some dates and I'm in, I go,
well, the Stones are playing, I'm going to the Stones. I'm either
going in this city or this city already all set with the people I'm going
with. Done. But if I'll go in this city if these dates work
for you, or I'll go in this city, I'll go to this conference
if these dates work for you, because I'm gonna double up on it.
And uh, I'm just like, fuck it, I'm not I'm not doing
anymore and I'm not gonna, you know, and I think sometimes we you
don't need to be mean. But I think that there are two things I
would tell people after going through all this. Nobody thinks about you as much
as you think they do. Nobody. That's true. And I don't mean
that in terms of they don't care. Take that away. People care,
But but you always assume that they can negatively. Yes, they don't.
They don't. They don't, they don't. You really don't enter their minds.
Even if they say one shitty thing about you. Believe me, there's
gonna to be other things that distract them and you're gonna say something shitty about
So just stop. Yeah, number one doesn't matter. Stop worrying about what
you look like, what other people are saying. Just go do whatever you
want to do. Because here's what I've realized, and this is very I
really really believe this. The only thing you have, the only thing you
have is right now. That's it, this moment, that's it, that's
all. That's that, This is the only thing. What is in the
past is in the past, and you can't recreate anything from the past.
And what's coming up we don't know yet. It's free beer tomorrow, it's
always coming to never hear you know what I'm saying. So all you got
is right now. So in this moment, I would tell you, whatever
you want to do and it feels the best if it just inspired, and
I would say instead of feels the best, I wouldn't say go do a
line of blow all for vacuuming your living. You know what I'm saying is
think about the satisfaction. But whatever in the moment you're inspired to do,
even just a little bit more than something else, go do that, do
it to the fullest, and don't worry about the outcome. Everything will work
out because if you stop worrying about where the money's going to come from,
house it, just go do it. It will work out. And that's
kind of what I've really really was almost like standing at Innovative field watching that.
That is exactly what I thought. That is exactly what hit my head,
and I went, Okay, fuck it, I'm going. I'm going.
I'm just going, and I'm not going to be dictated and told I
got to do that. No, no, no, I'm just doing it.
I'm doing it now. I already have a little that in me because
we wouldn't be sitting here now if I didn't. However, at the same
time, there to go even to the next level. And you just don't
need to be negative about it. Just keep the positive. This is going
to work. I'm so excited to do this because I believe me it'll happen.
Can I tell you a story revolving you? Two thousand and eight,
I was thrown in your lap to be part of a show, and I
was just trying out to be part of the show which was ended up becoming
The break Room and is You and Tommy and several other people. And I
had come from talk radio, sports talk radio, and news talk radio,
so I had a different skill set coming into the the show. And the
one thing that like there was always chaos. And I'm not just talking about
the show. I'm talking about your personal life. Seven o'clock in the morning,
you get a phone call, life is falling apart. It would happen
at least twice a week for six years. Yes, And I could write
a novel. And the thing was is that you always handled it with a
smile on your face. You were so calm, and I always was like,
how does he do that? And the two phrases that you always told
me during those type of man I was like a walking head case. And
I fully admit that I did not have the emotion intelligence we could call it
now to be in radio at that point, I just didn't have it.
Even at twenty eight years old, I didn't have it. But the two
things you always said that struck me, that stuck with me, is if
I continue to do what I've always done, I will continue to get what
I've always gotten. Yeah, look where we are now. Number one.
Number two, If you want to do something, you'll either find a way
or you'll find an excuse. If you want to, you will, and
if you don't, you'll find an excuse. Like one thing is not a
wish, it's an action. Yeah, And I've always you've always that's always
stuck out in my mom So here's where I would say my thought on that
evolved. I if you want to, you will, and when you're inspired
enough, you you'll do it. Inspired enough, not like almost, not
that you're not going to be maybe a little nervous about it at all,
but but like you're just like yeah, because and when you take that,
like, I'll tell you I have talked about a project for years not during
the podcast. I have talked about doing a project, a separate podcast for
years literally, I got to say probably eight nine years I've talked about doing
this, and then this happened and I thought, well, now's the time.
And then I was talking to one other person about it and they said,
you should do it like this, and I'm like, oh my god,
oh, how the fuck am I going to do that? So they're
like, you got to turn it into a docuseries, Like wow, docuseries?
Why am I going to do this? And so then I sat on
that for a while, and then I kept talking to the person and they
go, if you should get this camera, and you should get these different
mics, and you should do this, and you should get these lights,
and you should do and I'm like, how am I going to get How
am I going to get that? How am I? How is how is
any of this gonna work? And once I stopped doing that, and I
thought, you know what, this feels right? And I like it?
Oh, that actually looks good. And sometimes I would just sit and it
would just I would daydream about it. Yeah, I would daydream about doing
this and I'm like, all right, and all of a sudden somebody's talking
to me and they're like, hey, we do this podcast for me and
blah blah. I go yeah, and they're like, how much do you
charge? And I said, I'm not going to charge you. I'm not
I'll just we'll just do it because I'm not a production house really, I've
got my own projects. So they said to me, all right, well
let's you know, is there anything you need? And I go yeah,
And so these little mics came in, and then I went and bought the
lights, and then we did this, and so slowly things started to come
together and then I'm like all right, and I secured more funds and things.
I go, I'm going to buy that camera. And then it was
today. I picked up the phone and I go, this is the person
I really want to be my first guest. And I don't know why.
I'm sitting in my my home office and I called and the person answers and
says, hey Bill, and I'm like, holy shit. Now I don't
know that they have my phone number, but now don't forget digitally phones will
tell you who's calling you if you have that on app on or whatever.
So and we talked for a long time and set it up, and I'm
like, so, I'm just saying, like all this stuff that sounds like,
stand, you know, on your left foot with your right hand,
raise a crystal to the moon and bark three times voodoo. It's not This
shit works. But you've got to get out of your own head and just
go and stop getting caught up in what other people are going to think,
what other people are going to say, what other people feel about you.
They don't care enough. Believe me, they don't. And anybody who is
all caught up in that drama, Danny, you brought up something earlier today
where I talked to you about somebody when I left CMF and I went to
the drive and they said, and I said, and I started laughing,
and I said that drama. I would get so caught up and it's so
it's so nothing. It means it means nothing. And you know, a
lot of times when we were doing the break room, I just didn't pay
attention to that stuff. I wanted to focus because I needed to make money
for my family, and the family shit was more. You know, that
stuff could be silly as long as noone was dead or bleeding, I was
okay, and I I it was a great relief. I loved doing the
show because I was hanging. It was like going to a bar with my
buddies and talking shit. Although I really prepared to go to that bar and
talk shit every day, but that's what it was like, and so for
me it was great and even now, and that's why I would say,
like, just but stop worrying about what other people are thinking, because that's
what's going to hold you back. Don't worry about what your mom says,
your dad said, or anything. Just go do it. Like this woman
who we talked to with the only fans, they stopped making fun at what
dollar amount do they stop making fun of you at? Right? Is it
ten thousand a month? Is it thirty thousand a month? Is it that
I own a two bedroom condo and the Chicago the high end part of Chicago?
I mean, where where is it? And I think that's a great
thing for people to if you want to take the mumbo jumbo stuff that I'm
saying, if you feel like that's what it is, but put it to
that. Stop worrying about what other Go do what you're inspired to do.
But I would say action's great, but action can feel tiring and exhausting inspired
action, doesn't you could go all day long. You're like the fucking energizer
bunny. You're excited to do it. You're excited to wait. I'm more
excited to wake up these days. I wake up before my alarm by a
half hour every day, every day. Not I just just wake up.
Ever since, my fucking head has changed. Just see it. You know.
It's uh. But I watching you do this, and I'm so glad
that you and I have been able to reconnect and I could be part of
this. Yeah, you and I had had worked together in like seven eight
years at that point. When you brought me on, I was like,
awesome. But I'll tell you what. There's like four things that you've kind
of espoused that makes sense. You ever read the book The Four Agreements?
Yeah, okay, I've never read the book, but I know what the
Four Agreements are, and all you need to know is what the four Agreements
are to understand it. Okay, And I watched watching the show Bury,
I'm like, oh, that's interesting. There's a called The Four Agreements and
one of the guys, one of the criminals in the is running a drug
kig pin. But he's comedically talking about how people need to follow the four
agreements. Yes, and the first one is be impeccable with your word,
yes, meaning don't lie, or at least you know, tell the truth,
or at least don't lie. Number two, don't take anything personally,
because whatever you're taking personally is some delusion in somebody else's head. It's got
nothing to do with you. It's somebody else's thoughts, somebody else's feeling.
It's got nothing to do with you, So let them think that. Number
three, don't make assumptions. In other words, always tie up loose ends.
And number four, whether you're sick, laying in a bed, or
whether you're feeling great, always do your best. Yeah, I would think
that all that stuff is well, it sounds basic, is very true,
I would say the uh. The first one is we live in a world
of vibration. You tune into TV stations, radio stations, satellite stations,
but you tune in. I can't hear what's happening on Classic Rewind if I'm
listening to Howard's I can't listen to John Mayer's Life Channel, if I'm listening
to the Kelly Kelly Clarkson's channel, which is actually not bad. So I'm
just saying like you can't, right, but so tune into what you want.
There are different vibrations, there's of anything, but I would say they've
done studies and the greatest vibration, and to your point of choosing your words
carefully is authenticity. When you are authentically yourself, it is the greatest vibration,
and it is more attractive. It's more attractive for everything, everything every
once in a while, but I'm me but right, But when you are
authentically yourself, it is that. That's it. And I think a lot
of times we're afraid to be ourselves. We try to be something for somebody
else. We try to be one thing for a boss, one thing for
our parents. We talked to everybody differently. I think if you can be
more authentically yourself, your life would be much much easier. And nothing has
to be this hard. Nobody needs to be that kind. You can,
you know, navigate and stay away from things that just don't feel right and
use your intuition. That would just be my two cents a on that.
But this has been a blast, and it's getting better and it's getting bigger,
tomorrow. It will be talking a lot about we because of four to
twenty, but we will also tell you about the TV deal that we are
finalizing. Also, the new Pearl Jam album comes out Friday. Yeah.
New music Friday. Yeah Yeah, new music Friday. So I always listen
to new music Friday on Tuesday. By then I get to digest in here
for Dan Brillo, I'm Bill Moran, and we'll tell you tomorrow about our
TV deal on the recue shown. You're ready, You're ready,
