Speaker 1: Get ready for.
Speaker 2: August sixth, twenty twenty six, allegedly, according to that thing
Speaker 2: we call a calendar. This the o'celly effect. You hearing it,
Speaker 2: but most likely you're catching the podcast because not too
Speaker 2: many of you hear it live. I was just discussing
Speaker 2: that with my newest co host, Thursday or Thursday co
Speaker 2: host Brad, who is definitely a wild card so far,
Speaker 2: and we'll see exactly how wild that goes. Anyway, it
Speaker 2: is Thursday as I speak to you, But God knows
Speaker 2: when you're listening to me, and only you know if
Speaker 2: you're paying attention to that wind up toy or the
Speaker 2: digital representation thereof on the wall or on your computer
Speaker 2: or final slab of choice, it doesn't really matter what
Speaker 2: time it is or when it is. As a matter
Speaker 2: of fact, it's all perspective. And aren't we all just
Speaker 2: part of the same thing in the greater universal sense. No,
Speaker 2: we're not going there tonight, and I'm not doing phone
Speaker 2: calls tonight, but we're also kind of just improvising. And
Speaker 2: we went live almost ten minutes after eight pm Eastern
Speaker 2: here in that place we used to call America. But
Speaker 2: like I said, when you decide to play. It could
Speaker 2: be anytime and welcome anyways, Brett, how you doing tonight?
Speaker 2: First of all, I know I talked to you a
Speaker 2: little bit before we went to air, but it was
Speaker 2: half of a conversation and half ass to that how
Speaker 2: you doing.
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 4: Stepped for at HR and I said that you're you're
Speaker 4: kind of in the hot seat starting late, so get
Speaker 4: your ass out of here and I'll take over.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a sad thing. I work for myself, so
Speaker 2: if I'm in trouble with myself and arguing with myself,
Speaker 2: hey wait, that explains what my wife was complaining about
Speaker 2: the other night. Okay, anyway, it's confusing, and you can
Speaker 2: you know, one of my favorite stupid T shirts of
Speaker 2: all time was is roses are red, vilelets are blue.
Speaker 2: I'm a schizophrenic and so am I. I don't know
Speaker 2: why I love that T shirt so much, because it's
Speaker 2: not even the real meaning of a schizophrenic, A split
Speaker 2: personality thing and all that. That's not schizophrenia, that's a
Speaker 2: totally different disorder. And now they call it what is it, oh, identity?
Speaker 2: What is it? Identity dismorphia? I don't even freaking remember
Speaker 2: the term anymore. Split personality or multiple personality disorder can't
Speaker 2: even be defined that way now right anyways?
Speaker 3: Uh knows the difference?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well there is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, A learned that surprisingly whenever I went to school
Speaker 4: on La Grains, the Greens, just to be an independent
Speaker 4: the school.
Speaker 3: District and the actually had a discent curriculum.
Speaker 4: Looking back on it compared to now now, it's so
Speaker 4: u you got a pencil, get the fuck under.
Speaker 3: You're going to allow learn whatever the stick wants you
Speaker 3: to learn.
Speaker 4: You know, we didn't try to feel that bucket as
Speaker 4: must garbage as as they can, because nobody's really.
Speaker 3: Learning shit anymore.
Speaker 4: And uh, they actually had a psychology course where I went,
Speaker 4: so the actually talks the different skits of multiple personality
Speaker 4: and basically hits my fears like mails on a ruck.
Speaker 4: Whatever time I watched me and myself and I ran,
Speaker 4: I'm like, I get so dumb broad Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, it's crazy. And that's later. I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: back in the days when like they showed us this
Speaker 2: stuff in cartoons, cartoons were much more educational. And I'm
Speaker 2: talking bugs Bunny, I'm not even talking to the Sesame
Speaker 2: Street animations. I mean, cartoons were much more educational than
Speaker 2: educational TV in a way, because they taught you things
Speaker 2: that you didn't know otherwise. They taught you about the
Speaker 2: existence of a great many things that were far outside
Speaker 2: of your realm at that point or your broadcast area
Speaker 2: when you were looking at bugs, Bunny and some of
Speaker 2: the stuff that was going on. And occasionally they even
Speaker 2: shoved a little World War iiO propaganda in there. Even
Speaker 2: though it was the seventies by the time I was
Speaker 2: watching it, it was still educational. But yeah, I went
Speaker 2: to a school where we had and I was in
Speaker 2: a crappy school system, and we had a split course
Speaker 2: where you had psychology for half the year and sociology
Speaker 2: for the other half of the year. This right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that was the thing. There also used to be this
Speaker 2: thing called civics. Ladies and gentlemen. How wait, Aim, how
Speaker 2: old are you, Bren? I mean generally U.
Speaker 3: Forty three?
Speaker 2: Okay, you are like ten years younger than me. And
Speaker 2: I thought they abandoned all that crap by the time
Speaker 2: you're in high school, you're Yeah.
Speaker 4: We're always down in Texas, so it's like we were
Speaker 4: kind of behind everyone else. I was like those all
Speaker 4: states around us of alose get movies and ship way
Speaker 4: before we would.
Speaker 3: So I was like, everything kind of hit us late.
Speaker 3: But I noticed never was one of the words out
Speaker 3: of high school.
Speaker 4: I was dating a Bard, I was still in high school,
Speaker 4: and I saw we were looking at their homework, and
Speaker 4: I was like, what the fuck is this? You know,
Speaker 4: to teach me additional subtraction, but then it looked up
Speaker 4: numbers and give it makes sense, but like, what in
Speaker 4: the hell is this common core math?
Speaker 2: Common core math became the same crap that they taught
Speaker 2: us almost ten years previous, right when we were in
Speaker 2: you know, uh, like first grade kindergarten. That kind of
Speaker 2: math they were still teaching to the high school students
Speaker 2: kind of means you failed somewhere along the line if
Speaker 2: you can't move on beyond addition and subtraction. In my mind,
Speaker 2: I don't know, but you know, maybe you've got a
Speaker 2: different opinion.
Speaker 4: No, as I said, they just said, they kind of
Speaker 4: lost me onto the SERTN Mexicano letters and the numbers.
Speaker 3: But I kind of get it. Now they'll come back.
Speaker 4: Doing formulas and stuff. I would love to go back
Speaker 4: and relearn all I said, because now that's something that
Speaker 4: can actually apply it too. I wasn't playing going to
Speaker 4: work in construction when I was young. Most people don't
Speaker 4: you know. I was gonna be a rock star, but
Speaker 4: a wound up in the construction field. And now I'm
Speaker 4: kind of looking back wishing I could know trigonometry like
Speaker 4: what they were teaching. I was like, okay, that's what
Speaker 4: that was, and they're teaching the frigging angles and stuff.
Speaker 4: And then I used to actually know how to reshoot
Speaker 4: music whenever I was really young. If I can remember
Speaker 4: that now, i'd be fucking unstoppable and guitar, but oh
Speaker 4: that's gone.
Speaker 2: I've been trying to explain these memory gaps with some people,
Speaker 2: because this I don't think happened to previous generations before X.
Speaker 2: We ended up with these memory gaps where we might
Speaker 2: have known how to do something when we were younger
Speaker 2: and literally would lose this skill later. Now a lot
Speaker 2: of people say, you know, you use it or you
Speaker 2: lose it. But it's an interesting point you bring up
Speaker 2: about the sheet music, because that was a bare minimum
Speaker 2: requirement before you got to high school that you knew
Speaker 2: how to read basic sheet music as part of your
Speaker 2: you know arts. You know, it wasn't arts. It was
Speaker 2: called the electives, right, your electives. You had to fill
Speaker 2: them in, and you could fill them in so many
Speaker 2: different ways, but you almost couldn't avoid learning how to
Speaker 2: read basic sheet music. And they gave everybody at one
Speaker 2: point or made us go out and buy, depending on
Speaker 2: how rich your school district was, these cheap ass recorders
Speaker 2: so we could all play the recorder. I kid you not.
Speaker 2: So you got a classroom full of kids playing these
Speaker 2: ridiculous plastic, freakin' you know whistles basically that you know,
Speaker 2: and we're all playing Hey Jude, by the way, because
Speaker 2: nobody was concerned about copyrights and stuff at that point
Speaker 2: in time. Literally the song the Beatles song Hey Jude, right,
Speaker 2: or whoever the fuck wrote that, I forget. But the
Speaker 2: point is that they all had us learn basic sheet
Speaker 2: music and do it. Okay. That was just one of
Speaker 2: those things that every little kid did, and they taught
Speaker 2: us problem solving, which is going to apply to your
Speaker 2: situation with construction. Problem solving is something you got to
Speaker 2: do in construction where even if you've got a plan
Speaker 2: and you're working according to somebody else's plan to build
Speaker 2: something in order to destroy things, there is an order
Speaker 2: by which you dispose of stuff, right, because I worked
Speaker 2: in demolition, and you didn't just go in there and
Speaker 2: smash stuff up and make piles and shovel it away.
Speaker 2: You had to organize the piles of crap you pulled apart,
Speaker 2: and there was methodology behind the way you took it
Speaker 2: apart in order to make it a little more manageable.
Speaker 2: And this was problem solving in real time, real world, okay,
Speaker 2: But you were taught those things and ready for this
Speaker 2: one a little something which was like it was reasoning
Speaker 2: right where you could actually go through and reason through
Speaker 2: the problems. So not only did you have to come
Speaker 2: up with creative solutions, but you had to have some
Speaker 2: basic understanding of the parameters there. Right. You know, a
Speaker 2: certain link of wood is only going to fit in
Speaker 2: the dumpster if you put it this way. You know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. You got to put this the long way.
Speaker 2: You've got to put this, you know, vertically, this goes horizontally.
Speaker 2: This thing only fits, you know, you know, diagonally in
Speaker 2: the dumpster. Let's say that's from the demolition side of things.
Speaker 2: And all you got to do, even if you don't
Speaker 2: speak the same language with the rest of the guys,
Speaker 2: you're working with, you got to be able to communicate
Speaker 2: at least that so you're acting in a uniform fashion
Speaker 2: and you're all solving the problem the same way. Okay,
Speaker 2: So all of this, the order and the hierarchy of
Speaker 2: things is laid out. And they actually taught us that
Speaker 2: stuff in school. And there was a terminology for this too,
Speaker 2: you remember what it was where you know, you you
Speaker 2: actually had to use reasoning and you had to understand,
Speaker 2: like I say, some of the basics of things in
Speaker 2: order to work with that reasoning communicate it with others.
Speaker 2: And this would actually cause you to work together as
Speaker 2: opposed to being what these independent little cells now that
Speaker 2: we're in where we get everything fed to us by
Speaker 2: an algorithm and through a machine. You know, we had
Speaker 2: through social interactions to accomplish everything. Whether it was for
Speaker 2: fun or if it was for profit, or if it
Speaker 2: was for you know, nefarious means, it didn't matter. You
Speaker 2: had to work in a conspiratorial fashion, you know, in
Speaker 2: the most broad general you know, sort of definition of
Speaker 2: that word to conspires to breathe together based on its
Speaker 2: root words, right, So you had to learn to breathe
Speaker 2: together so that you could all move with the same
Speaker 2: motions or with at least similar concepts in mind. And
Speaker 2: all of this was a cognitive way of behaving that
Speaker 2: was literally taught to you at one point, and they've
Speaker 2: thrown all of that out along with you know, writing
Speaker 2: outside of print. You know, you barely learn how to
Speaker 2: print them. And you know, because they used to call
Speaker 2: it cursive writing, right, which was you know, in order
Speaker 2: to make everything flow together. And it was still you know,
Speaker 2: same letters and same language and all. But you know,
Speaker 2: the b looked a little different stuff. But you know
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. People knew how to sign their names,
Speaker 2: so yeah, and that was the first thing they taught
Speaker 2: us how to do. Here's how to sign your freaking name,
Speaker 2: which is important throughout your life, or at least was.
Speaker 2: But then they said, and this is how you actually
Speaker 2: write letters, I mean, the the actual act of writing
Speaker 2: a letter. There was a class on this, and it
Speaker 2: wasn't just so you whew, how to write a letter.
Speaker 2: It was so that you understood the concept of communication
Speaker 2: and the hierarchy of the order of communication. And then
Speaker 2: if you've stepped into other things like journalism, you learned about,
Speaker 2: you know, the compression of that first paragraph where the who, what, when, where,
Speaker 2: why and how was all contained in the first paragraph
Speaker 2: in a summary fashion, and then the details would be
Speaker 2: laid out afterwards, you know. And you learned these orders
Speaker 2: of communication, which again are out the freaking way though,
Speaker 2: with texting, with shorting, with nobody spelling because everything has
Speaker 2: a spell correct on it, and you know spelling again.
Speaker 2: You know again, work swell ahead.
Speaker 3: I went to don't encouragey to play games like we
Speaker 3: used to have in school. We used to have a
Speaker 3: computer game called Ace Detective.
Speaker 4: That'stle reminded me of what you're talking about. You had
Speaker 4: to figure out who, what were, and why and how
Speaker 4: what happened?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: And it was it was a cool little game, you know,
Speaker 4: graphics crap because I was like early ones computers.
Speaker 3: But you know, very you know, they tell you to
Speaker 3: figure things out, like you were saying, and yeah.
Speaker 4: I guarantee you that's just courage these days, Like no,
Speaker 4: you all figure things out.
Speaker 3: You're just listen to a person at the front and repeat.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And the other thing is is there was stuff
Speaker 2: And because I'm ten years older, you're talking about, well,
Speaker 2: there was these computers in the eighties and nineties. Guess
Speaker 2: what in the seventies and eighties, there were computers first
Speaker 2: coming into the classroom that were finally small enough to
Speaker 2: fit into a damn class room, and the Apple.
Speaker 4: VORs and a black Sprain with some little green graphics
Speaker 4: if you were lucky.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the thing is, you got basic games there.
Speaker 2: But those basic games that they had us play were
Speaker 2: meant to teach us things like about how to do business.
Speaker 2: There was a game called lemonade. Now, I know everybody's
Speaker 2: heard of the classic, you know, nineteen fifties style thought
Speaker 2: of a lemonade stand, and this is how a kid,
Speaker 2: you know, makes a twenty five cent couple lemonade and
Speaker 2: sells them to people and whatnot. I get it. But
Speaker 2: the whole concept of doing business, having to know how
Speaker 2: many lemons you have, having to manage the weather, having
Speaker 2: to decide how many signs to put up, how much
Speaker 2: to charge for your lemonade, how much sugar to put
Speaker 2: in it, and all those factors come together. Guess what,
Speaker 2: it's fairly complex reasoning that a six year old and
Speaker 2: a five year old doesn't necessarily come with it factory installed, right,
Speaker 2: So you know, there was something actually valuable being taught
Speaker 2: in the school system. Now everybody blames the system, and
Speaker 2: I certainly blame the system. I'm one of those guys
Speaker 2: who is not for the system, you know, I'm all
Speaker 2: about the rage against the machine. But here's the thing.
Speaker 2: There's a responsibility that needs to be taken here because
Speaker 2: everything that is designed to be fed to the general
Speaker 2: audience or to the population or the populace is all
Speaker 2: designed based on a couple of factors. And one of
Speaker 2: the biggest factors for what is fed on mass to
Speaker 2: the population is what the population will accept. And this
Speaker 2: is something that's often left out of the you know,
Speaker 2: the bitching and moaning sort of. You know, I don't
Speaker 2: know industry when it comes to communication, radio shows, podcasts, whatever.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter your verbal communications, your your blogs, everything else.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of bitching and moaning. But there is
Speaker 2: often A, no solutions, and B. And the B is big. Okay,
Speaker 2: it's the big one. And it's not quite as important
Speaker 2: as A and not quite as prominent as A, but
Speaker 2: B is almost there. B is no responsibility taken by
Speaker 2: those people that are part of the masses. If you
Speaker 2: didn't accept this crap, it would not be continued on
Speaker 2: mass to everybody. The reason why it continues to be
Speaker 2: fed year after year is because it's acceptable. And that
Speaker 2: doesn't mean that, you know, you have to resist every
Speaker 2: single thing that goes down, But if you don't offer
Speaker 2: any sort of resistance, if you don't offer any sort
Speaker 2: of critique, and you just let everything slide, like, oh,
Speaker 2: I guess that's just the way shit is. Now, guess what,
Speaker 2: that's the way shit will be. And here's the fun part.
Speaker 2: Just like in a pricing situation, if you look around
Speaker 2: in your neighborhood and you notice that there are certain
Speaker 2: places that, you know, push the price points a little
Speaker 2: further than say the general average in your region. Like
Speaker 2: you'll find a convenience store that's charging, you know, fifty
Speaker 2: cents more for a bottle of soda. There's a reason
Speaker 2: why they do that, and one of the biggest reasons
Speaker 2: a set of reasons. Actually, there's a set of reasons
Speaker 2: for it, but one of the big biggest reasons among
Speaker 2: it is because people will pay it. People will accept it.
Speaker 2: That's your level of acceptance when you pay that price
Speaker 2: and you go, well, you know, I don't want to
Speaker 2: have to drive another mile, I don't want to have
Speaker 2: to go to another place. I don't want to have
Speaker 2: to go to a separate joint to get my you know,
Speaker 2: snack or whatever. When you do that, every acquiescence is
Speaker 2: permission granted to the system. And this is something I
Speaker 2: think that is often lost, and this is why I
Speaker 2: appreciate it. I know, Jordan Maxwell's kind of pass and
Speaker 2: boring and everything, and he is one of my friends,
Speaker 2: which I got a recent email about, you know, people
Speaker 2: that were one of my friends. And of course he's
Speaker 2: passed away now, but I mean, yes, he became like
Speaker 2: the boring old man that was telling the same story
Speaker 2: over and over again to a lot of you. But
Speaker 2: here's the fun part about that. To me, you still
Speaker 2: didn't listen to it lot of it. You didn't hear
Speaker 2: all of it. You heard the word play, you heard
Speaker 2: the clever things that you could repeat. You heard the
Speaker 2: resident nature of the general ideas that did populate what
Speaker 2: we used to call alternative media all the way through it,
Speaker 2: by the way, not just in the you know, the
Speaker 2: old days of the online broadcasters and everything, but in documentaries,
Speaker 2: in your blogs today, alternative thinking in general. You could
Speaker 2: you know, basically trace the seeds back to Jordan's stuff.
Speaker 2: In a lot of ways, but I'm not here to
Speaker 2: just credit him. I already did my tribute show to
Speaker 2: him a couple of years ago, right after he passed.
Speaker 2: Point is, people still don't fully hear it. And every
Speaker 2: once in a while I get brand new messages from
Speaker 2: people who say, you know, I heard this years ago
Speaker 2: and then I heard it again recently, Or they dig
Speaker 2: into my archives they pick up something and they go,
Speaker 2: I realize part of what you were saying then, but
Speaker 2: now I see the rest of it. I hear the
Speaker 2: rest of it. It's really interesting when people only take
Speaker 2: in what they allow themselves to hear. So, first of all,
Speaker 2: your level of acceptance is a much wider issue than
Speaker 2: what you just simply accept as far as poor quality
Speaker 2: when it comes to education or productivity or products or
Speaker 2: the job market, et cetera. Your acceptance is one thing,
Speaker 2: but your awareness and the fact that people literally, you know,
Speaker 2: actually censor themselves. They censor what they allow themselves to
Speaker 2: hear and to comprehend, because comprehension is just as big
Speaker 2: as being able to read. You know, I'm going back
Speaker 2: over this, and I'm going to be rehomeschooling a kid
Speaker 2: who's had trouble, who's a friend of my son's, and
Speaker 2: we're going to sit down and do this all together again.
Speaker 2: And I'm looking at it and I'm going, Okay, there's
Speaker 2: one level as to what this kid understands as far
Speaker 2: as what they can read. But there is a whole
Speaker 2: other missing link here that nobody buys. Buthered with the
Speaker 2: school system, the homeschooling, the special tutors, none of them
Speaker 2: worked on their comprehension. They got them to understand the words,
Speaker 2: but not really what the words mean. They got them
Speaker 2: to understand the words together and to string them together properly,
Speaker 2: but not the nuances as to why that works, not
Speaker 2: to put it into the real world.
Speaker 4: So the sentence listing in mus school program was live
Speaker 4: because dude, like as many things as ill in school,
Speaker 4: a lot of them didn't get it trigted till I
Speaker 4: was out because I couldn't like, I didn't have anything
Speaker 4: to relate to the find a reference, you know.
Speaker 3: And also.
Speaker 4: Kind of the living version of Batista's character in the
Speaker 4: First Guardians of the Galaxy just took everything literal. I
Speaker 4: was like that for many years, and people would say
Speaker 4: things in school are in general, and I would just
Speaker 4: take them completely thick and literally and then.
Speaker 3: Like years later, but oh yeah it fy a click.
Speaker 4: So yeah, the couple hatch of thing is very important
Speaker 4: because if you don't understand, if you don't have any
Speaker 4: formal reference I understanding, you know, could go right over
Speaker 4: your head or just you'd understand it too lately, you know,
Speaker 4: too late, like I did not have any way to
Speaker 4: kind of go back and look at it, or just
Speaker 4: not thinking because of buson doing other things. And everybody's
Speaker 4: in the rat race now right chet money because of
Speaker 4: the fucking inflation and stuff.
Speaker 2: For gowe right no, And that's the thing. The missing
Speaker 2: element here is the practical attachment to the real world.
Speaker 2: Like you know, when when we started talking about the math,
Speaker 2: and and my my son, my youngest son is is
Speaker 2: very good with math concepts, no problem mathematical concepts. He
Speaker 2: just understands them. He understood them from the first time
Speaker 2: I explained him to him, and they've stuck with him
Speaker 2: just fine. But application of those concepts is another issue.
Speaker 2: Like when they used to do home economics classes. I know,
Speaker 2: it was a big joke and you know it was like, oh,
Speaker 2: so we're gonna make uh you know pizza, uh you
Speaker 2: know this this quarter or whatever, and then they're gonna
Speaker 2: teach you how to make pasta array, you know, how
Speaker 2: to boil.
Speaker 3: Water or the missed that course.
Speaker 2: Now, well, here's the thing. There's a lot of women
Speaker 2: I met over the course of my lifetime that apparently
Speaker 2: skipped their home met classes because they could burn salad.
Speaker 2: I mean, for Christ's.
Speaker 3: Sake, y's why the men missed that course. Now because
Speaker 3: the women they're taking it any more.
Speaker 2: Right, I mean the men, and then they're coming home
Speaker 2: to home cook mills.
Speaker 3: You.
Speaker 2: But we we listen, we're twenty years too late for
Speaker 2: the excuse that we missed home at class because a
Speaker 2: lot of us were dependent upon you know, maybe women
Speaker 2: doing it. Oh no, the social hierarchy. No that yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 2: I'm just saying for somebody in years what you said
Speaker 2: and thinks that's what you meant. I was like, no,
Speaker 2: I hope he doesn't mean that.
Speaker 3: Oh no, No, I know a couple of guys, but
Speaker 3: we'll take that class.
Speaker 4: Just because there was hot ships in there and they
Speaker 4: just want to be you know, being the shirts came about,
Speaker 4: you know, the course itself.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, I was happy with exactly. That's why
Speaker 2: I took homet class because I already knew how to
Speaker 2: cook and that was the thing, right. I took homet
Speaker 2: class because it was like there's like just like pretty
Speaker 2: girls in there. Oh there's no other classes left. Yeah'll
Speaker 2: take that. You know. I was happy. Plus, you know,
Speaker 2: you're working toward making some food, and sometimes I didn't
Speaker 2: have time to eat at home, so I could make
Speaker 2: something in home met class and maybe eat it for
Speaker 2: Christ's sake. Yeah, And also they would have to do
Speaker 2: some dumb you know, like sewing project. But the point
Speaker 2: is not all about that and the silliness of it
Speaker 2: and the seemingly useless waste of school time that some
Speaker 2: people used to complain about. The truth is you could
Speaker 2: take that and make it an applicable concept. And the
Speaker 2: moment they started, you know, like not having you go
Speaker 2: to a grocery store and go get the crap yourself
Speaker 2: right and bring it together and everything else, they were
Speaker 2: removing a whole lot of the real world experience from
Speaker 2: the you know, from the situation, Okay, class, we're going
Speaker 2: to do this in this today. Well, how did I
Speaker 2: end up with the flour and the sugar in the
Speaker 2: first dan place? You know what I mean? And what
Speaker 2: decisions did I have to make to make sure that
Speaker 2: there was enough of at you know what I mean
Speaker 2: for to day. Now, that may be a daily decision
Speaker 2: for some people. Others might have a well stocked pantry.
Speaker 2: But the point is that when you're going to get
Speaker 2: out on your own, it is highly likely that you'll
Speaker 2: be in a slightly different economic circumstance than you were
Speaker 2: living under the roof with your parents and not really
Speaker 2: contributing to it as most kids did. Now, I was
Speaker 2: in a weird spot because I was earning my own money,
Speaker 2: like from the time I was six, But that's because
Speaker 2: my mom was busy with other things and really wasn't
Speaker 2: good at taking care of me. I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm six years old. My mother was what twenty two,
Speaker 2: you know, and she was just trying to survive considering
Speaker 2: that she had become widowed at twenty or become a widow,
Speaker 2: excuse me, at twenty. You know. My father died in
Speaker 2: twenty five. She was twenty, and that was that. So
Speaker 2: she wasn't very good at taking care of me. I
Speaker 2: had to figure it out myself. But that experience caused
Speaker 2: me to know a whole lot of things, like, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm walking into class at that time, and I know
Speaker 2: this is going to become a complete disconnect in the
Speaker 2: future because nobody's going to use coins, you know, with
Speaker 2: the elimination of the penny and everything else. It is
Speaker 2: a natural progression. But coins used to be important, and
Speaker 2: they used to be valuable enough that you could assemble,
Speaker 2: you know, a couple of pounds of coins and accomplish
Speaker 2: something with it. Today now it's like an archaic, you know,
Speaker 2: it's not really important. It's like more of a historical
Speaker 2: artifact you're carrying in your pocket anymore. Except you know,
Speaker 2: I do appreciate that this is yeah, well but there
Speaker 2: you go. If you go back to those times and
Speaker 2: you changed it. I mean, if people change the value
Speaker 2: on the coin, it could still be useful, but they're
Speaker 2: not going to do it because, you know, it's much
Speaker 2: easier to work in the digital realm. But the thing is,
Speaker 2: back in the days when you could collect a few
Speaker 2: coins and maybe go buy dinner, how would you accomplish that? Right,
Speaker 2: I knew how to do that. I knew how to
Speaker 2: work with the coins. I'm in, you know, first grade,
Speaker 2: and they're sitting there literally giving us pictures of coins going, okay,
Speaker 2: how do you add these together? And I'm like falling
Speaker 2: asleep because I'm like, I already know how to do this.
Speaker 2: I got to do this in you know, two seconds time.
Speaker 2: Anytime I do anything, I got to figure out percentages already,
Speaker 2: because you know, look when you're sitting there and you're
Speaker 2: hustling pool and this is what I did when I
Speaker 2: was six. I would hustle pool in a bar because
Speaker 2: my mother would bring me to a bar and stick
Speaker 2: me in the back corner. Now, this is definitely something
Speaker 2: from the past that was only in certain places, but
Speaker 2: a lot of times kids, well yeah, okay, so you
Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about. You see, you're one of
Speaker 2: these guys and.
Speaker 3: Know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: The thing is, it gets stuck in the back corner.
Speaker 2: Somebody gives you a soda and a bag of potato
Speaker 2: chips and tells you, like, hang out here. Now. Mom
Speaker 2: and dad might be there have fun, or maybe just
Speaker 2: mom's there to have fun she's got no babysit, or
Speaker 2: they're there to do business. Either way, you're supposed to
Speaker 2: stay in the back corner of this joint and stay
Speaker 2: out of the way. Well, you know, listen, a couple
Speaker 2: of months worth of this, and I wander okay, And
Speaker 2: after a while I wandered toward the pool table, and
Speaker 2: a guy who was in there from the firehouse, who
Speaker 2: had gotten most of his fingers burnt off as a
Speaker 2: fire man, uh, taught me how to shoot pool. And
Speaker 2: you know, I was a left handed shooter. I was
Speaker 2: a weird little kid with you know, big thick, huge
Speaker 2: glasses on, and everybody thought it was funny to play me.
Speaker 2: It was like a big joke. So I utilized that.
Speaker 3: So I didn't love any one like you.
Speaker 4: Didn't have anyone like corded down in the corner working
Speaker 4: with young pants off you anything, nothing like that, No,
Speaker 4: because uh, you know that wasn't around back then.
Speaker 5: Was it.
Speaker 2: Well it was around, but not there, because.
Speaker 3: I mean I remember being those same balls like you're talking.
Speaker 4: My mom was a little country store down Plum, just
Speaker 4: middle of freaking nowhere, and I was thinking a hundy
Speaker 4: times I got left the room, I running around at night,
Speaker 4: and I was like, well, I've never heard a word
Speaker 4: about being an abduct over any of that crap.
Speaker 3: It was kind of like it wasn't really a thing,
Speaker 3: you know, I just like could have got more to
Speaker 3: these and all of a suddenly became more and more.
Speaker 4: Movie is no more news, just drop you gay close
Speaker 4: to you Because it was the coast nats up in
Speaker 4: a van.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, look, there's a bit of a there's
Speaker 2: a bit of an awareness aspect here where that ship
Speaker 2: was going on in a lot of places, but we
Speaker 2: didn't have mass media that stretched outside of the area,
Speaker 2: like you know, if you live in the tri state
Speaker 2: area where I was, you know, New York, New Jersey.
Speaker 2: Some people would argue Pennsylvania, others would argue Connecticut as
Speaker 2: the third state. But either way, you know what area
Speaker 2: I'm talking about. The point is that in that metropolitan area,
Speaker 2: we certainly had big news stories. Aton Pates is a
Speaker 2: name I'll never forget because he was a kid who
Speaker 2: was abducted, just disappeared one day. There was a series
Speaker 2: of snatchings of little girls around a shopping mall that
Speaker 2: was being built in Jersey. Uh, you got to dig
Speaker 2: your news archives to find anything on it now. But
Speaker 2: kids were disappearing. Here's the thing, though, you only heard
Speaker 2: about the kids who disappeared in New York and New Jersey.
Speaker 2: In guess where New York and New Jersey.
Speaker 4: Uh you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so a kid that was disappearing in Virginia, I
Speaker 2: never heard about it. A kid that would disappear in Boston.
Speaker 2: I didn't know anything about it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Uh Like, here's another weird Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think about things like the k Ultra thing. I've
Speaker 4: got the goun rom myself for that too, because I
Speaker 4: was so fine that saying earlier, wouldn't it.
Speaker 2: Well, it depends, It depends, Yeah, it depends. I mean
Speaker 2: you talk to you have my talk, You have the
Speaker 2: the experimental you know, the animal disease lab up there,
Speaker 2: you have you know, the universities, and of course New
Speaker 2: York City was ripe for experimentation. Uh mk Ultra, MK, Naomi, MK, Delta,
Speaker 2: all that shit had outposts in New York and New Jersey.
Speaker 2: But you know, and plus don't forget, Jersey is also
Speaker 2: the place where the Hindenburg went down, and a lot
Speaker 2: of other weird things happened. But a lot of psyops
Speaker 2: and experiments went on. Also regarding broadcast, I mean War
Speaker 2: of the World's Look where did they actually stage it
Speaker 2: in New Jersey?
Speaker 3: And it was for World War Thanks. I grew up
Speaker 3: in the Middle of nowhere, because yeah, it's like like, oh,
Speaker 3: it wasn't a other thing. Noere it was it. I
Speaker 3: wasn't a good area of this country.
Speaker 2: I guess. Well, there was a reality to it that
Speaker 2: wasn't on the news. Okay. You know everybody looks back
Speaker 2: on it now and goes, oh, well, you must have
Speaker 2: known about this, and you must have known about it.
Speaker 2: But if it wasn't on broadcast news, it wasn't in
Speaker 2: the newspaper, and it wasn't in your neighborhood, how the
Speaker 2: hell did you know? You know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 2: there was a huge heroin problem. Uh, you know from
Speaker 2: the time I was born until you know, crack hit
Speaker 2: in the in the eighties and the early eighties, and
Speaker 2: heroin was a huge thing. There were people oh ding
Speaker 2: dying right on the streets. There was open air drug
Speaker 2: markets that went on in certain places, but you didn't
Speaker 2: see it on the news. It was like the exploitation.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, we're now aware that there was, you know,
Speaker 2: a whole multimillion dollar block of drugs going on here,
Speaker 2: and there's gang warfare happening. I mean, mobsters would whack
Speaker 2: each other and it would barely ever make the news,
Speaker 2: you know, but we knew about who showed up in
Speaker 2: a trunk accidentally, you know what I'm saying, because we
Speaker 2: were there. You know, if you knew Jersey City, you
Speaker 2: knew that there was the Jersey City in New York connections.
Speaker 2: You knew about John Gotti before the rest of the
Speaker 2: country knew about John Gotti because just in general, there
Speaker 2: would be loose talk about it. And we knew about
Speaker 2: the kaval Kanti family long long before the Sopranos ever aired,
Speaker 2: because the Cavalcanti's were, you know, actually one of the
Speaker 2: first mob families in America, and they're based in Jersey.
Speaker 2: They're the ones that actually got called the Farmers and
Speaker 2: everything else. And what was that guy's name that ran
Speaker 2: it and really made a disaster out of it. They
Speaker 2: called him Billy Ocean or whatever. No, not Billy Ocean
Speaker 2: something Ocean, Vinny Ocean, Viney Ocean, excuse me. Billy Ocean
Speaker 2: was the singer Vinny Ocean was, and they named him
Speaker 2: that because he smelled like the fish market he worked at. Anyways,
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of other weird things like Crazy
Speaker 2: Joe Gallo, which, by the way, just sort of a
Speaker 2: weird synchronistic connection to Crazy Joe Gallo, and everybody calls
Speaker 2: him Crazy Joe, But the truth is guys who knew
Speaker 2: him called him Joey the Blonde. That was his nickname.
Speaker 2: And I know that because the guy that I call
Speaker 2: Uncle Joey when I tell stories about that time period
Speaker 2: in the later seventies, who mentored me. This guy knew
Speaker 2: Joe Gallo. And Joe Gallo died on exactly the same
Speaker 2: day that I was born in nineteen seventy two, which
Speaker 2: happened to be his birthday, so his birthday and my
Speaker 2: birthday are the same, and he also died shortly before
Speaker 2: I was born. A little joke started up there about
Speaker 2: how I was the reincarnation of Crazy Joe Gallo because
Speaker 2: I had light colored eyes and my hair was like
Speaker 2: colored and I was Sicilian. But anyway, I also had
Speaker 2: a rather liberal mindset about certain things, like Joey. But
Speaker 2: I was not related to him in any way, shape
Speaker 2: or formed that I know of. Genetically. However, some people
Speaker 2: would say I was a spiritual relation to him. Weird,
Speaker 2: you don't know how superstitious Italians and Sicilians. By the way,
Speaker 2: if you're not really on the inside, you have no
Speaker 2: idea how freaking crazy superstitious a lot of these guys are.
Speaker 2: But there's some people that thought I was literally the
Speaker 2: reincarnation of Joey Gallop because I was born right after
Speaker 2: he died, and say, you know, and only a few
Speaker 2: miles away if you think about it, from where he
Speaker 2: was killed at em Berto's in New York, in New Jersey.
Speaker 2: I'm born just a short time after, and they happened
Speaker 2: to whack him on his birthday when he was out
Speaker 2: and vulnerable. Anyways, Yeah, that's true, true story, Yeah, April seven,
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy two, if you ever look it up. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I share a birthday with crazy Joe Gallo. But again,
Speaker 2: nobody would call him crazy, just like the highest ranking
Speaker 2: mob member guy I ever met was. They called him
Speaker 2: Tony Salerno. But I assure you nobody called him fat
Speaker 2: Tony to his freaking face, you know, and he looked
Speaker 2: kind of like a bulldog really when I when I
Speaker 2: saw him at first, his facial features were that sort
Speaker 2: of like chunky monkey Italian.
Speaker 3: Well with a lot of sense to me.
Speaker 4: Rops the sopranos that the one character call him person
Speaker 4: out to his face like that, not a nickname that
Speaker 4: auld accept.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but no, yeah, but see, but that's the thing
Speaker 2: that actually would be a nickname that somebody would accept.
Speaker 2: It's a weird situation there because it's meant to be
Speaker 2: an innocent thing. But only his good friends should really
Speaker 2: call him that. The fact that like strangers and people
Speaker 2: that barely knew him were calling him that is wrong.
Speaker 2: But if you were, you know, like and here we go,
Speaker 2: I had a nickname among the Italian businessmen that I knew, uh,
Speaker 2: And I was like a kid. I was like a
Speaker 2: mascot with the guy that I will forever identify his
Speaker 2: uncle Joey. Uncle Joey would introduce me even And I
Speaker 2: just became glasses because I had huge, freaking thick you know,
Speaker 2: like literally half inch thick freaking glasses on my face
Speaker 2: because in the seventies technology was not good and I
Speaker 2: you know, I can barely see as it is so
Speaker 2: big thick ass glasses. I became glasses because they were
Speaker 2: the most prominent feature I had. Now, sometimes you got
Speaker 2: called something that was the opposite of your most prominent feature.
Speaker 2: You know, like you might be handsome j or whatever,
Speaker 2: and you ain't handsome. You're definitely looking like somebody ran
Speaker 2: that face through a chief raid. You could be handsome
Speaker 2: j you know, or they call somebody you know, big,
Speaker 2: big big Tommy. Big Tommy is freaking five foot three. Okay,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: But he was like, yeah, well, tim Asman, that comes
Speaker 3: a one time in ten.
Speaker 2: There you go, there you go, there you go. Another
Speaker 2: guy tiny. They might call him tiny. The guy weighs
Speaker 2: three hundred freaking pounds, right, you know, and they call
Speaker 2: him tiny. But on the other hand, yeah, somebody could
Speaker 2: nickname him the other way. But there's a difference between
Speaker 2: the nicknames that like say, people that are not in
Speaker 2: that world call somebody and the nicknames the people that
Speaker 2: are in that world call somebody. Pussy's a good example, though,
Speaker 2: because that's one of those weird ones where I could
Speaker 2: actually see that being on both sides of the wall oddly,
Speaker 2: And I can't explain to you exactly why, because I
Speaker 2: wouldn't want to be called pussy. I mean, that is
Speaker 2: definitely not one of the I mean when I grew up,
Speaker 2: you know, pussy, And I mean, I know what the
Speaker 2: worst thing is to call. You'd be calling him like
Speaker 2: fanuk or faggot really and I know there's a word
Speaker 2: to get me banned somewhere, but outside of that, I mean,
Speaker 2: I can't think of a worse thing to call a
Speaker 2: masculine guy, especially because he's had to have carried that
Speaker 2: nickname since he was a cat burglar. That was the
Speaker 2: in universe explanation, right, he was a cat burglar, and
Speaker 2: so therefore they started calling him big pussy, you know,
Speaker 2: instead of pussy cat. Oh yeah, that was the idea.
Speaker 2: But still I don't see this guy accepting it for
Speaker 2: twenty years. It's kind of weird. I can see how
Speaker 2: it could work on both sides. But then again, generally speaking,
Speaker 2: I think he'd be right. He wouldn't accept it, come
Speaker 2: to think of it. But among the spence off, yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: like once he was fully established as his own man,
Speaker 2: he might turn around say yeah, up with a pussy stuff,
Speaker 2: all right, you know what I mean, and that would
Speaker 2: become something where it's like, don't call him that, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. And the whole reason why I
Speaker 2: got called Glasses is because I did not want people
Speaker 2: to call me Charlie. I hated that, and that was
Speaker 2: because of a popular commercial that was on TV at
Speaker 2: the time. Charlie the Tuna. Yeah, if you don't believe me,
Speaker 2: check it out. There's a commercial. I don't know how
Speaker 2: long it aired for, but it was definitely on in
Speaker 2: the seventies and eighties. And Charlie the Tuna was the
Speaker 2: starkest I'm a spokesperson a cartoon and he was a
Speaker 2: goofy tuna that they kept, you know, screwing over and
Speaker 2: leaving out of stuff. And the commercials would always end
Speaker 2: with sorry Charlie because they were just you know, sticking
Speaker 2: them and leaving them out of the tuna. But he
Speaker 2: had glasses on also, and so I didn't want to
Speaker 2: be called Charlie. I hated that, but glasses I accepted
Speaker 2: because it was like, well, you know, I got to
Speaker 2: live with that. That's upfront, that's something that's about me.
Speaker 2: But Pussy, on the other hand, yeah, I wouldn't have
Speaker 2: put up with that. So I don't know. Anyway, Well,
Speaker 2: why did I get on this, ti rade? I don't
Speaker 2: even know. We see again, we're ringing to tonight, So
Speaker 2: what's on your mind? Forget about my bizarre thinking patterns.
Speaker 2: What's on your mind? I only and I never finished
Speaker 2: explaining about the amount of hustling pool in the bar either,
Speaker 2: but anyway, go ahead. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Just a lot of dumb ass shit going on in
Speaker 3: the world. There's a few videos on next that.
Speaker 4: Kind of set head on follow but I'm not sure
Speaker 4: kind of rating you got going here, So one of
Speaker 4: the furs is bringing it up.
Speaker 3: No, no, not do it turn enough bombs and shit.
Speaker 3: So all right, court, now we're all free to roll.
Speaker 2: Listen, we're free to roll. For years and years I
Speaker 2: didn't because I was trying to step partially into the
Speaker 2: A M and FM world. But at this point, as
Speaker 2: long as we're not like literally doing hateful stuff or
Speaker 2: threatening people like stuff that could be legally actionable, I
Speaker 2: really don't care. You know, you don't start talking about
Speaker 2: who you want to you know, we want to put
Speaker 2: a bullet in, Okay, stuff like that, don't do that.
Speaker 2: But other than that, whatever, man, go oh no, just.
Speaker 3: Okay. Typically when you make a transaction, you kind of
Speaker 3: pay it promptly. Right, you try it them, you pay,
Speaker 3: you go on about your business.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: There's this video on next that I saw, just s
Speaker 3: fucking thing set my head on fire. Dude.
Speaker 4: I wanted to punch the fucking spread out. So it's
Speaker 4: heat some people up, but I'm just gonna roll with it.
Speaker 4: This is this is dumpy looking black bits and this
Speaker 4: SCV right okay, and you're gone.
Speaker 3: You can understand her what we get through. And while
Speaker 3: I'm saying flank and.
Speaker 4: By because be the latest video, and it's just oh man,
Speaker 4: she has this guy bringing some check in the vehicle.
Speaker 4: Minded she's sitting in a nice vehicle, rooms on and
Speaker 4: see a couple of ankle by the one in the
Speaker 4: car meaning little small dogs like dogs. Some guy brings
Speaker 4: some barbecue chicken in a plastic deal. She really just
Speaker 4: starts digging in.
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, good, it's good, and guys like, yeah, it's cool,
Speaker 3: you know, chopping up when we're talking asking for her money.
Speaker 3: This bitch pulls a gun on what you talk about.
Speaker 3: And I was just my head caught fart right there.
Speaker 3: You know, she's they're chopping.
Speaker 4: On the chicken, stuffing her fucking fast, not even sharing
Speaker 4: with the dogs, you know, like I believe, show up
Speaker 4: the dogs and then just pulls the gun and the
Speaker 4: guys in the pay and the dogs off. And then
Speaker 4: I'm sitting there thinking like, oh, I'm down to seeing
Speaker 4: these videos one day where the guys that trading martial
Speaker 4: artists and just has the quick hand to grab the
Speaker 4: gun because once you catch that slight chick your hand
Speaker 4: with the sugar, if she wants they shit can happen,
Speaker 4: So I can't believe it ain't fire.
Speaker 3: And then just unload on her face with the other hand.
Speaker 4: But they know that happen. She just spread up robbed
Speaker 4: the guy out there, fucking hire a robbery and people
Speaker 4: like that in the world. Man just oh, I got it.
Speaker 2: I got you. But here's the problem with that, okay,
Speaker 2: And and I know this is gonna get me some
Speaker 2: negative reaction. Hey he's talking about Yeah, I know, I know, guys,
Speaker 2: And look I.
Speaker 3: Would actually dropping in bomb, but I heard that.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, hold that, because here's the thing. You
Speaker 2: might not even talking to me talking about a real
Speaker 2: world person. A lot of times I look at these
Speaker 2: videos that are like what you're talking about, and they
Speaker 2: are so obviously you know shot well that it's like,
Speaker 2: there's no way in hell that this was some real
Speaker 2: world incident that somebody had happened, okay, because it's either
Speaker 2: staged or it's AI or something like that. In a
Speaker 2: lot of cases, and people make these things in order
Speaker 2: to do what to upset somebody like you, who's going
Speaker 2: to get aggravated at the audacity of somebody. And that's
Speaker 2: sort of you know, that pushing that racial angle and
Speaker 2: pushing that aggressive, you know, domination angle on you. And
Speaker 2: a lot of people put these things out literally just
Speaker 2: to piss people off. They get a lot of views.
Speaker 2: They you know, a lot of people share them. Oh
Speaker 2: look at this, Can you believe this? And yeah, I
Speaker 2: get it because I'm from a place again if you
Speaker 2: remember that there was when I grew up, I mean
Speaker 2: a huge percentage of the people in the state that
Speaker 2: I lived in, you could hardly find anybody without Sicilian
Speaker 2: or Irish blood in them. So we were all cousins
Speaker 2: of one kind or another. So we would all turn
Speaker 2: to each other at some point, go, you're seeing this shit.
Speaker 2: You know when things would happen. But here's the thing.
Speaker 2: In a lot of cases, you got to rewind and
Speaker 2: examine it because it could be AI, it could be
Speaker 2: made up crap, it could be propaganda. And that's the
Speaker 2: problem here now is that there is so much of
Speaker 2: this artificial junk coming out there. This isn't necessarily you know,
Speaker 2: some bodycm thing that happened to accidentally get caught.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: Also, somebody.
Speaker 4: Just wasn't put on a handheld cell phone, by the way,
Speaker 4: but the guy that bart the food like it was
Speaker 4: a court you know, so it's holding the tandel cell
Speaker 4: phone allegedly like you know, like you're saying that one.
Speaker 4: I'll admit that's one of the video is that I
Speaker 4: probably shouldn't look further to the comments on but because
Speaker 4: a lot of them I'll see, Like there's.
Speaker 3: Another video that I saw where this lady is walking
Speaker 3: the pit.
Speaker 6: Ball and this is a big freaking gorilla in front
Speaker 6: of her, and it says like one animals reignited because
Speaker 6: it raised together and the dog runs up and the
Speaker 6: girls I was hugging the dog and all that, and
Speaker 6: so I was crolling down the shirt of Ai.
Speaker 3: AI was like, this is I asked a lot.
Speaker 4: And then when you go back and watch it, Yeah,
Speaker 4: that one I'm not for to the comments and that one,
Speaker 4: so I'm gonna be honest about that.
Speaker 2: Well, you got to remember also that there's a huge
Speaker 2: contingent of people that want that out there because they'll
Speaker 2: they'll argue that not only is it you know it,
Speaker 2: not only does that happen all the time anyway, but
Speaker 2: people need to see it, and because of that, they're
Speaker 2: willing to accept something that has been staged or manufactured.
Speaker 2: I mean, I saw a whole thing about a guy
Speaker 2: who was making a lot of money actually on YouTube
Speaker 2: with you know these supposedly like surprised joke videos and stuff,
Speaker 2: and then after a little while people caught them, you know,
Speaker 2: basically setting the thing up in advance and having people
Speaker 2: you know act and then editing it together so that
Speaker 2: it was way more outrageous, you know, than it really is,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So there are ways of stagingness,
Speaker 2: either in the real world with real people or in
Speaker 2: some cases with digital assets, or a combination of both.
Speaker 2: I mean, have you seen the crazy weird video of me?
Speaker 2: It's supposed to be an AI of me making some
Speaker 2: ridiculous point on a microphone. Probably not.
Speaker 3: I don't think i've ever seen you a video actually.
Speaker 2: All right, not a lot of people have seen this,
Speaker 2: But I'll go get it, okay while I'm talking to you,
Speaker 2: and I'll give you a link, okay, and I want
Speaker 2: you to take a look at it because it's kind
Speaker 2: of funny, and you know, you've never seen me on video,
Speaker 2: but it is a good representation of me on video,
Speaker 2: Like it looks like I looked a few years ago,
Speaker 2: very accurately. I mean straight down to you can tell
Speaker 2: there's a ponytail pulled back and I've since cut my hair, Okay,
Speaker 2: So it's a good representation of me a couple of
Speaker 2: years back. I would say, the weight I was at
Speaker 2: and everything else. It's not how I look now exactly,
Speaker 2: but it's close. I mean, it's recognizable. They got my
Speaker 2: voice wrong, okay, from the tone. And this is the
Speaker 2: thing about AI. AI has not been able to accurately
Speaker 2: reproduce me yet, which I'm kind of proud of. People
Speaker 2: have tried to reap produce me in AI and like
Speaker 2: kind of make me into a digital puppet, and they
Speaker 2: can do it with a lot of other people who
Speaker 2: have put out media, and the AI can't get me right,
Speaker 2: Like there's obvious mistakes in the linguistics, there's obvious mistakes
Speaker 2: in the videos. Usually this is the closest anybody's ever got,
Speaker 2: which I found remarkable, and it's weird looking to me.
Speaker 2: Uh And it's in the form of a short let
Speaker 2: me see, I don't want to play it accidentally but
Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna wind up playing the damn thing accidentally.
Speaker 2: Hold on, let's see if you go, Okay, I paused
Speaker 2: it before I did anything any real damage. But let
Speaker 2: me see if I can share this to you because
Speaker 2: I want you to take it look at it real quick. Well,
Speaker 2: you've never seen a picture of me or anything. You
Speaker 2: don't know what I look like at all.
Speaker 4: No, No, I also like a let's send the pictures
Speaker 4: on like your banners, you get appear on camera for
Speaker 4: like a couple of minutes off Steve Show one time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've also been on a Yeah, I'm just saying.
Speaker 2: I mean I've been on like, I've been on TV
Speaker 2: on the Plays Network, I've been on a twofoil hat.
Speaker 2: I was on video and the whole time. I mean,
Speaker 2: I've been on video inside places.
Speaker 4: I was like, I didn't start to scaled on podcast
Speaker 4: is really uptoded that twenty twenty because I wouldn't fall
Speaker 4: off politics sintil twenty twenty, those who are just focusing
Speaker 4: on metal and just whatever those halls, construction, this that
Speaker 4: and the other, what's what's the COVID shit kicked off?
Speaker 3: And definitely what kind of I was like, Okay, I
Speaker 3: got to start in this and see what the hell
Speaker 3: is going on?
Speaker 4: And then I learned the players got you see you
Speaker 4: see in politics, and you were too.
Speaker 2: Busy into until you weren't too busy. Is what happened there, right,
Speaker 2: Okay let.
Speaker 4: Me uh yeah, I would have to kill.
Speaker 2: I pasted the link, but I swear to you this
Speaker 2: looks like me pretty much, with the goatee, the facial
Speaker 2: ship like everything there, including the way my movements are.
Speaker 2: While I'm on Mike, I talked with my hands a bit,
Speaker 2: which only people that have seen me visually and you know,
Speaker 2: pay attention, have seen it. But you can see I
Speaker 2: talked with hands. I move around kind of like this
Speaker 2: guy does this this weird AI projection of me, But
Speaker 2: this is a fully AI projection, which now that you
Speaker 2: hear my voice in its normal form, it's nowhere near
Speaker 2: my voice. It's off. It's like they corrected the buzzing
Speaker 2: sound in my voice, the roughness that used to get
Speaker 2: me letters from Australia all the time, or emails actually
Speaker 2: from Australia all the time, where they said you sound
Speaker 2: a lot like Alex Jones. What this was made only
Speaker 2: like this year sometime, but they obviously used older images
Speaker 2: of me to make a composite, and they obviously used
Speaker 2: some video of me that was older, because there's no
Speaker 2: brand new video of me really, So that's why I mean,
Speaker 2: the only brand new video you could get is a
Speaker 2: bad quality and from Lancer the online presentations there. But
Speaker 2: other than that, you'd have to go back a couple
Speaker 2: of years to get me on a TV broadcast or
Speaker 2: on a podcast where I was running video, uh, where
Speaker 2: I was steady on the video for any amount of time.
Speaker 2: And uh, they they kind of got my They got
Speaker 2: my body type right, They got a bunch of things right.
Speaker 2: But my voice is wrong, which is really weird because
Speaker 2: it's always a problem. Even when they feed the transcripts
Speaker 2: in they feed samples of my voice. This thing always
Speaker 2: tries to clean up my voice, which is completely unnatural.
Speaker 2: But I gave you the link there you see it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'll check it out after it's I don't
Speaker 4: like that's the thet we're doing because I've only got
Speaker 4: like one arm of service.
Speaker 3: But it's it's not a writing clear So I'm just gonna.
Speaker 2: Okay, che no problem. You take a look at it,
Speaker 2: and you report to me next week when we talk,
Speaker 2: and I'm telling you it's very, very weird. But AI
Speaker 2: cannot Duplicatocelli, That's all I'm telling you. I don't know
Speaker 2: why they can't duplicate A, but they duplicated other people perfectly.
Speaker 2: Like there's this guy. I remember that there was a
Speaker 2: show for a little bit called The Circus, which got
Speaker 2: real popular and canceled, by the way, at the same
Speaker 2: time during COVID that was on Showtime and was all
Speaker 2: about like all these former Republican political strategists basically, you know,
Speaker 2: being horrified about Trump was pretty much the whole theme
Speaker 2: of the show.
Speaker 3: I don't think I watched Showtime start of two thousands.
Speaker 2: Well, the video clips of it were out there on everything,
Speaker 2: you know, so it became it became very popular and
Speaker 2: probably got some people to sign up for Showtime just
Speaker 2: for this thing they called The Circus, and they kept
Speaker 2: renewing it season by season from like twenty seventeen till
Speaker 2: I think twenty twenty, like around the time of COVID,
Speaker 2: when everybody was going to sit down and watch podcasts
Speaker 2: and long TV shows and whole you know, series and
Speaker 2: everything else. All of a sudden they cancel it. Then
Speaker 2: you know, I.
Speaker 4: Admit have been and joyed the first couple of weeks
Speaker 4: of that because I did putch up with some quality
Speaker 4: TV that I was missing.
Speaker 2: Oh listen, man, I filled in every hole I had.
Speaker 2: This is a little weird fact about me. I'm a
Speaker 2: Star Trek guy. I like Star Trek and I like
Speaker 2: Star Wars too, but I like No Star Trek very well.
Speaker 2: I know, like the lore of it. I know the
Speaker 2: real buind the scenes stuff. I know. I've watched every movie,
Speaker 2: every TV show that's ever been put out, even the
Speaker 2: terrible ones, and most of the time that's something that
Speaker 2: I've held since I was a little kid. When they
Speaker 2: were rebroadcasting the sixties Star Treks, you know, on seventies TV,
Speaker 2: I thought it was one of the greatest things in
Speaker 2: the damn world, to be honest with you, you know,
Speaker 2: six and seven, I thought it was Superman, you know,
Speaker 2: better than Superman actually, And they also came out with
Speaker 2: a movie when I was like seven years old. The
Speaker 2: first Star Trek movie was released in seventy eight or
Speaker 2: seventy nine, I forget which, but it was after Star
Speaker 2: Wars because Paramounts saw how much money they could make
Speaker 2: with Star Wars they said, fuck it, well, reboot Star
Speaker 2: Trek two.
Speaker 4: That was the first one Star Wars, the Star Trek.
Speaker 4: Growing up, when I watched a Star Trek general, what's
Speaker 4: on the car?
Speaker 3: Next generation? The next generation?
Speaker 4: Yeah, TV and most it's like this is gay, so
Speaker 4: start washing Star Wars.
Speaker 2: What's funny is that, even though, like you know, Captain
Speaker 2: Kirk is obviously working with nineteen sixties technology and special
Speaker 2: effects and everything in the sixties, the next generation is
Speaker 2: more eighties than it really was ever meant to be.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like, we have all these technological advances,
Speaker 2: it's supposed to be like, I don't know, hundreds of
Speaker 2: years in the future, and yet these char those chicks
Speaker 2: have eighties hairdoos.
Speaker 3: Man, it's rough watching the what's the Aliens movies? Like
Speaker 3: when you watched the movie Aliens. This is in the
Speaker 3: conference room and they're sitting they're freaking smoking.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well stuff like almost great.
Speaker 4: Old things, and then that and then like between that
Speaker 4: the clothing. So they're watched and then the technology and
Speaker 4: it's supposed to be so far advanced, like it's interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but see on the one hand, I mean they
Speaker 2: couldn't get the hairdos right, and they couldn't get the
Speaker 2: outfits right for next year generation, so it had that
Speaker 2: eighties look to it. But on the other hand, they
Speaker 2: they were very predictive when it came to the use
Speaker 2: of tablets and when it came to the use of
Speaker 2: touchscreen technology and stuff like that. I mean that was
Speaker 2: like unheard of almost you know when they came out
Speaker 2: with that crap. But chatting, yeah, video chatting, well, video
Speaker 2: chat you know, there's a strange history to video chatting.
Speaker 2: By the way, I don't know if you're aware of this,
Speaker 2: but in Germany they had it before World War Two
Speaker 2: where you could talk to somebody on a TV screen directly.
Speaker 2: That is wild. And I didn't believe. I thought somebody was,
Speaker 2: you know, just feeding me a bunch of crap like
Speaker 2: they do.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: Oh, Werner von Braun, you know, made the first space
Speaker 2: shuttle and that kind of thing. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, fine,
Speaker 2: if you extrapolate, he might have theoretically come up with it,
Speaker 2: and it's like no, they literally had like tele booths
Speaker 2: that you could talk to somebody and see the person
Speaker 2: you were talking to on a screen. Now it was
Speaker 2: a black and white screen, but it worked and it
Speaker 2: was in real time. That's pretty wild to me, you know,
Speaker 2: because most people think that the teletype or the uh
Speaker 2: there's another name for it, but you know, there's basically
Speaker 2: it's a phone line hooked up to a typewriter and
Speaker 2: it can type exactly what was typed on the other end,
Speaker 2: those kind of machines. Yeah, No, not a telegraph. It's like,
Speaker 2: it's like it literally is a typewriter that here's the
Speaker 2: signal on a phone line and then types it out. Yeah,
Speaker 2: a lot of governments. No, it's not a fax either.
Speaker 2: A fax is somethingwhere at prints. This thing is literally
Speaker 2: would like typewriter keys and shit that bang on a
Speaker 2: piece of paper and retype what's being sent to it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: these things existed, well, these things existed for like thirty
Speaker 2: years before they started using the faxes and the more
Speaker 2: secured communications and stuff. And again, you know, the government
Speaker 2: had it first then.
Speaker 4: Yeah, was that just just what to say?
Speaker 3: You said, you know that tracks the government having it
Speaker 3: first and then we did it later.
Speaker 2: Yep, No, it does. And that's the weird thing about
Speaker 2: this telecommunication thing because I'm like, but nobody picked up
Speaker 2: on it anywhere else. It like wasn't really used. I mean,
Speaker 2: maybe it was used in top secret communications, like if
Speaker 2: you remember from like this the James Bond movies and stuff,
Speaker 2: people talked on little TVs to each other, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. But that was all supposed to be fictional.
Speaker 2: Well Star Trek did that too, where you could actually
Speaker 2: see somebody and you know, talk to him in real
Speaker 2: time and visual communication. And then later on they put
Speaker 2: it together so that you know, they were pushing holograms
Speaker 2: of people and this and that.
Speaker 4: But even the concept of another whole put another hole
Speaker 4: in the narrative about Hitler beings drew of dictator and
Speaker 4: you know, another country. Second fact, that's true, Then why
Speaker 4: was it given the citizens that kind.
Speaker 3: Of technology instead of just keeping it for the military.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, well that decision wasn't made by him. That
Speaker 2: was something they see now that's still yeah, No, there's
Speaker 2: a whole weird thing to Hitler where you know, listen,
Speaker 2: he's not a good guy. But oh no, no he's not.
Speaker 3: He's still a politician.
Speaker 4: I don't agree with you know, anyone running any country whatever,
Speaker 4: but it's like I don't I'm thinking, like this severely exagerated,
Speaker 4: just like today you know, always vilifying, talking about the Palestinians,
Speaker 4: the evil people, these uh evil people, just filling the
Speaker 4: bunk wherever is supposed to be.
Speaker 3: At the time, I think it was the same thing
Speaker 3: back then.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, because you know, you have to change the
Speaker 2: tropes now, right, you have to simply describe everyone as
Speaker 2: evil because attacking them for being sub human or whatever
Speaker 2: is no longer acceptable. You know, like when they were.
Speaker 4: Calling that's the one rut there that nobody ever wants
Speaker 4: to question. It was like, oh no, I can't question
Speaker 4: that one until, like you know, recently with us very
Speaker 4: look around on the next time stepping.
Speaker 3: In the mind that a lot of these are bod accounts.
Speaker 1: But like.
Speaker 3: Some of those memes would to make a fun of
Speaker 3: the Jews. Man, holy shit.
Speaker 2: Well, and you know what's messed up is that stuff
Speaker 2: was real common in white power type literature for years
Speaker 2: and years, and like offshoots of the John Birch Society
Speaker 2: and some more extremely conservative you know, underground right winger
Speaker 2: type stuff that was around for a long time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's precisely what they did. You know, there are people
Speaker 2: that tell you that the Learned Elders of Zion is
Speaker 2: a real thing and all this and blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: And it's like, look, man, you know, there's there's a
Speaker 2: difference between revising history and simply throwing out all things
Speaker 2: and making it up from you know, from whatever it
Speaker 2: is you want to believe.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, And we do humanize them because like
Speaker 7: you know, yeah, I know that like Israelis and you know, Zionists,
Speaker 7: you know, the Zionist Jews and this that and the other.
Speaker 3: Fucking I know someone.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say, hell, I know this person, but
Speaker 4: this person you know this, That's what I know is
Speaker 4: that Jew and they don't agree with what the Zionists
Speaker 4: are doing and all this stuff. And you just do
Speaker 4: talk all the time about government conspiracy, begain. He's all
Speaker 4: fought with luck with you and I are saying so
Speaker 4: that I can't you know, I can't shit on all
Speaker 4: of them.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: See, the first thing is this, to try and put
Speaker 2: people into groups to begin with is difficult. I mean,
Speaker 2: you can share certain cultural ideas, or you can share
Speaker 2: certain religious ideals. You can have shared ideals and ideas
Speaker 2: and concepts and culture. This is true, but when you
Speaker 2: start to get into like I mean, look, I've dealt
Speaker 2: with more than one person who's pretty much like, hey,
Speaker 2: look that's a jew therefore they're in on it. You know.
Speaker 2: It's like, no, and just because somebody has a last
Speaker 2: name doesn't mean much either, you know. That's that's the
Speaker 2: other weird thing, you know, where it's like, oh, they
Speaker 2: got a Jewish name, or they had a Jewish name
Speaker 2: and they changed their Jewish name. There might be more
Speaker 2: than one reason why they changed their Jewish name, you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, And it could have been changed
Speaker 2: by something that had nothing to do with the individual
Speaker 2: you're talking about, who has no concept of this crap,
Speaker 2: who is living a completely different life without any awareness
Speaker 2: of it. You know, unless you have poof of this
Speaker 2: directly that somebody's involved in something, it's like, you know,
Speaker 2: they dial it back a little. But on the other hand,
Speaker 2: this idea that there is you know, this blanket sort
Speaker 2: of immunity that is granted to entire groups of people
Speaker 2: is also equally ridiculous. You know. That's like saying all
Speaker 2: Americans are fill in the blank, you lose, okay, because
Speaker 2: you're wrong. No matter what, there is no all Americans anything, okay,
Speaker 2: And guess what, there's no all Catholics anything. There's no
Speaker 2: all Jews anything. There's no all Muslims anything, okay, because
Speaker 2: check out, check into it, you'll find not true.
Speaker 4: Okay, there's a whole Muslim thing. I I want to
Speaker 4: call people full fucking recharge on that. I worked for God,
Speaker 4: I was a Muslim doing the GAA station in La Grange.
Speaker 3: It was a very very decent.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I worked with and four different Muslims of all stripes.
Speaker 2: And I'm talking everything from will Hobby guys to uh,
Speaker 2: you know, your she heite, your Muslim guys, your Assuni
Speaker 2: she hete all that, Okay, And I gotta tell you
Speaker 2: they got a good measure of scumbags in there along
Speaker 2: with a good measure of solid people that you would
Speaker 2: trust with anything you got, okay, And you don't know
Speaker 2: until you know, Okay, it's got nothing that you can't
Speaker 2: sit there and go like all Muslims this so therefore
Speaker 2: all you know, it doesn't work. And that was one
Speaker 2: of the weirdest heartbreaking things about like the post nine
Speaker 2: to eleven Ferver to me, it's, you know, because I
Speaker 2: was working in gas stations then, and it's an interesting
Speaker 2: world when you work in like, you know, gas stations,
Speaker 2: especially if they're twenty four hours and they have another
Speaker 2: business attached to them, like a convenience store, garage. There
Speaker 2: are various things, car washes, you can have attached to them.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you have multiple businesses attached to a gas station. Anyway.
Speaker 2: For a long time, of course, you know, people talked
Speaker 2: about how either all the Indians owned them, or all
Speaker 2: the Pakistanis owned them, or all the Muslims owned them.
Speaker 2: It was true that there was a huge population of
Speaker 2: those guys because that franchise agreement was relatively easy to
Speaker 2: get a hold of so long as you had the cash, okay,
Speaker 2: And it was a way to build a foundation and
Speaker 2: to bring here's one of the concepts that is consistent
Speaker 2: very much. So nothing one hundred percent, mind you, but
Speaker 2: very high percentage of Muslim guys and guys from those
Speaker 2: countries believe in working for the sake of their families
Speaker 2: and their group. Okay, So they will work as a
Speaker 2: group and bring their cousin together, they're brothers and sisters together,
Speaker 2: bring them all together into one place, try and live
Speaker 2: as cheaply as possible, which is actually an intelligent way
Speaker 2: to be, and then turn around and own something so
Speaker 2: that they have control over a business, they get to
Speaker 2: make the you know, the line's share plus a paycheck,
Speaker 2: so they're on both sides of the equation, all right,
Speaker 2: and then they try and expand it. And if you've
Speaker 2: got you know, ten people all marching in the same direction,
Speaker 2: you've got an army, A small one maybe, But if
Speaker 2: you've got ten people that are cooperating, all with the
Speaker 2: same idea, how fast can you save up to buy something?
Speaker 2: How fast can you turn around and buy property so
Speaker 2: that everybody has their own homes to live in? Eventually
Speaker 2: you can do that. And Americans are angry because we
Speaker 2: don't have that kind of basis where you have multi
Speaker 2: generational or family cooperation. I mean, occasionally you see it,
Speaker 2: but it's at a very low percentage where we.
Speaker 3: Go into business together. As a motherfucker.
Speaker 4: One of those first move to Houston, I was actually
Speaker 4: staying in the household like you were talking about.
Speaker 3: It was Mexicans not to doing things.
Speaker 4: I yeah, I'm trying to be funny, but you're looking
Speaker 4: out his great points.
Speaker 3: I'm just sitting there just shutting up.
Speaker 2: I'm learning.
Speaker 3: I'll put up a fucking statue, but I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I talked to I talked too much sometimes, and you know,
Speaker 2: I occasionally I get a little irritated with the whole
Speaker 2: San Migier thing because it became really annoying right after
Speaker 2: nine to eleven. So I'm in New Jersey. It was
Speaker 2: problematic because I had guys there that, you know, I
Speaker 2: taught some of them how to speak English. Okay, they
Speaker 2: were decent guys, and I put them to work because
Speaker 2: they were guys who wanted to work all the time.
Speaker 2: They didn't call out sick, they didn't turn around and
Speaker 2: tell me they had eight things to do. They weren't
Speaker 2: leaving because it's their girlfriend's birthday. They were dedicated workers.
Speaker 2: So I put them to work because that's what was
Speaker 2: available to me in some places and other places they weren't.
Speaker 2: So I had other people. But the point is I
Speaker 2: had literally had to get into physical confrontations of people
Speaker 2: right after nine to eleven because there was this general
Speaker 2: outrage about we've all been struck, even though I'm in
Speaker 2: New Jersey and New York was the place that was hit,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So it was like and
Speaker 2: a weird thing happened. The worst was this kid I
Speaker 2: sent out there. He's like twenty years old, and I
Speaker 2: just told him, listen, we got to change the flags
Speaker 2: because we had like ten American flags around on the property.
Speaker 2: Because I'm in the middle of three military bases in
Speaker 2: Jersey where there's Fort Dick's Air Force Base, McGuire, and
Speaker 2: Lakehurst Naval Air Base are all in one general area,
Speaker 2: and I was running a gas station basically in the
Speaker 2: middle of that. So we had to you know, we
Speaker 2: had ten American flags out there on display all the time. Okay.
Speaker 2: That was just part of doing business in that area,
Speaker 2: and they wanted to see representation. And the guys who
Speaker 2: were coming in out of the bases were happy to
Speaker 2: see the flags. So you keep your customers happy, Okay.
Speaker 2: So I send a guy out there because I noticed
Speaker 2: that one of them is tattered a bit. They get
Speaker 2: ripped after time, you know, just flapping around in the
Speaker 2: breeze and whatnot. Okay, So I send him out there
Speaker 2: to go take care of it. He throws one over
Speaker 2: his shoulder and he's trying to put the other one
Speaker 2: up on the pole and whatever. He didn't even let
Speaker 2: the thing hit the ground, all right, which is you know,
Speaker 2: a big thing. If you know anything, if you were
Speaker 2: a boy scout or a cup scout. You know, you
Speaker 2: don't let the flag hit the ground, et cetera, et
Speaker 2: Cetera's a lot of rules. Okay. Anyways, I gave him
Speaker 2: the quick version of those rules. He knew him, but
Speaker 2: he threw it over his shoulder, and somebody took that
Speaker 2: as disrespectful. The next thing I know is I got,
Speaker 2: you know, Joe Rednecks pulling up next to the guy
Speaker 2: getting ready to lynch his thumb ass. And he's sitting
Speaker 2: there like what I'm hanging the flag up, you know,
Speaker 2: like he doesn't even get what the hell he did wrong.
Speaker 2: And I didn't get what he did wrong. But meanwhile
Speaker 2: I got a step physically in between this Pakistani kid
Speaker 2: who doesn't know what he did wrong and these guys
Speaker 2: that want to beat his ass because somebody took down
Speaker 2: the buildings in New York because of the propaganda and stuff,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And locally on the radio station,
Speaker 2: there was a radio station, AMFM radio station that did
Speaker 2: like Jersey Talk all the time. There were people calling
Speaker 2: in there and saying that I had terrorists working at
Speaker 2: my gas station on air live callers. It was just.
Speaker 3: That kind of and that kind of behavior. If those
Speaker 3: guys were just playing, it's called patriar autism.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, we we just go full fucking retard because
Speaker 4: it's just so engulfed in the propaganda.
Speaker 8: It's like, oh, yousa team America. Fuck yeah, no, dude,
Speaker 8: straight up, there have no concept of what the hell
Speaker 8: is going on.
Speaker 2: Right, It's like virtue signaling with your fists. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, and all you're gonna do is beat up
Speaker 2: some kids.
Speaker 4: Gonna work for this kind of jackasses, Like I went
Speaker 4: in their houses and I gotta deal with this stuff.
Speaker 4: I gotta just bite my tongue because I'm like customer
Speaker 4: or you know, customers supposed to be right. I was
Speaker 4: raising the time, but I was, uh, that was actually
Speaker 4: a thing where the customer's hold is right. You know,
Speaker 4: you're trying to respect your customer, not like the big
Speaker 4: corporations will it's like you know, Nascar, Walmart are just
Speaker 4: outright shitting on the fucking customers.
Speaker 3: No, when you're in an actual market, you're kind of
Speaker 3: your customer.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, when you're actually competing for business in a
Speaker 2: particular environment, yeah, you actually have to take care of
Speaker 2: your damn customers. That's all out the window, your your customers,
Speaker 2: your employees, they don't matter because they're all what you're
Speaker 2: They're all replaceable. You can cycle them in and out.
Speaker 2: Who cares? You know, in some cases, when the Walmart
Speaker 2: takes over the whole damn town, where the hell is
Speaker 2: are they going to go? Is the attitude which they're
Speaker 2: not wrong.
Speaker 3: Kind of where it is? You know, yeah, that's kind
Speaker 3: of where it is in that town. It's like they're
Speaker 3: only like one of the grocery store than Walmart, Like.
Speaker 4: There's another person who can get me. Thank god, there's
Speaker 4: a small cast on the road. But no, generally most
Speaker 4: of the commers go through Walmart here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and after a while, when you have that, you know,
Speaker 2: homogeneous bullshit, you know, kind of commerce where everything runs
Speaker 2: all through the same corporate entity in the town. Guess what,
Speaker 2: they don't care about the quality of the service, the products,
Speaker 2: the supply chain. Any game they want to play, they
Speaker 2: can do it all day, because guess what, you're going
Speaker 2: to be back and in fact, you're going to beg
Speaker 2: them to restock the shelves. You're going to beg them
Speaker 2: to stop abusing you. You're not going to walk away
Speaker 2: and say screw this place. Because they were abusive to me.
Speaker 2: And you know what, therein lies the same theme I
Speaker 2: started with, which is, no.
Speaker 3: It sucks.
Speaker 4: Is that exiled for a while to stop going to
Speaker 4: Walmut and go to the local grocery store and I
Speaker 4: think they're there just as fucking rude.
Speaker 3: Really yeah, but here we go.
Speaker 4: It is if that is because of the corporation with
Speaker 4: that one, those actually my sister failed me. And that
Speaker 4: that's a local run store by a family and the
Speaker 4: son and husband for years.
Speaker 3: And if you're not from this town, dude, they treat
Speaker 3: you like an outsider.
Speaker 2: See now that's the exploration, and I get that, but
Speaker 2: that that may be an app Let's just say that's true. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to contradict it, but that's a rare situation.
Speaker 2: The truth is this, it's become so much more common
Speaker 2: to you know, basically behave this way that now that
Speaker 2: is the acceptable culture, if you will, there is no
Speaker 2: reason to respect the customer. There's no reason to take
Speaker 2: care of them the way I mean, the way I
Speaker 2: was trained to handle customers, you know, in the nineteen
Speaker 2: nineties is out the freaking window. I used to you know,
Speaker 2: give refunds to people even though they didn't deserve them.
Speaker 2: I used to replace products for minor complaints because I
Speaker 2: wanted them to always walk away with a happy experience,
Speaker 2: because I was taught that was my primary job as
Speaker 2: somebody managing the store. You know, make intelligent decisions about it.
Speaker 2: Don't just give stuff away all the time. But you
