00:02:44 I you.
00:02:45 That is me.
00:02:48 Oh, I am.
00:02:52 Hey, who is that handsome guy on the bottom right?
00:02:56 They can't see me.
00:02:58 Oh, they can see. I can see them.
00:03:00 Oh, the echo.
00:03:04 About now.
00:03:05 Oh, really?
00:03:05 We always have issues. Good morning.
00:03:09 Good evening. Good morning.
00:03:10 And good night.
00:03:15 So, how are you today?
00:03:17 Outstanding.
00:03:19 Where's my theme music?
00:03:21 We played it.
00:03:23 Oh, we did?
00:03:24 We did. Oh, sure.
00:03:26 Should I begin?
00:03:27 You're a little bit off frame.
00:03:29 I think you're trying to get ahead behind your head for some reason.
00:03:33 No, I'm handsome.
00:03:35 Look, I'll answer it.
00:03:37 Put it back down.
00:03:37 I can see the light behind you.
00:03:40 Okay.
00:03:41 I haven't adjusted anything of mine.
00:03:44 I have a light on.
00:03:45 Nothing better.
00:03:47 So I'm going to switch over to you.
00:03:50 What's the theme? Okay. I mean, the topic.
00:03:53 Short people.
00:03:54 What are they doing down there?
00:03:58 No. Oh, no.
00:04:01 To today's bootstraps,
00:04:04 as in
00:04:06 lifting oneself up by one's own bootstraps.
00:04:11 And familiar with the phrase.
00:04:14 I've heard it,
00:04:16 but I don't think he's in it right.
00:04:20 Oh. Okay.
00:04:20 Well, originally it meant the opposite
00:04:24 of what it means now.
00:04:28 Because it's impossible.
00:04:29 It can't be done.
00:04:30 If you pull on your bootstraps, you're not going to lift yourself up.
00:04:34 It's your pulling down.
00:04:35 Is the same with the same pressures you're
00:04:40 pulling back down, you know?
00:04:41 Same thing with the demos.
00:04:43 And if you do, if you are successful lifting
00:04:46 your feet with the rest of your body, you're just gone.
00:04:49 As the apple cart.
00:04:55 So lifting yourself up by your bootstraps is physically impossible.
00:04:59 Can't be done.
00:05:01 But I love the concept of it.
00:05:03 It's real.
00:05:04 It really dates back to the the Puritans, which is it's kind of cute
00:05:09 after.
00:05:12 Oh, I heard Sfl over applecart like, sorry.
00:05:16 40 seconds later.
00:05:17 Oh, it's on your phone.
00:05:18 I see. Yeah, I was checking the sound.
00:05:22 All right,
00:05:23 well,
00:05:25 sorry for the interruption there.
00:05:28 The Protestant work ethic
00:05:31 is what it originally meant, but you know how I like to date things.
00:05:35 I like to take it all the way back to the Greeks.
00:05:37 So you're. You're.
00:05:40 You're classic third century B.C..
00:05:47 There was a merchant named Zeno.
00:05:49 Zeno of Sidious. You've.
00:05:52 Have you heard of Zeno of Sidious?
00:05:54 Not Xena, the warrior princess, but Xena and the whole Zeno
00:06:01 of Sidious.
00:06:01 He he's a wealthy merchant.
00:06:05 And somewhere around
00:06:08 300 B.C., it was sailing through the Mediterranean
00:06:11 with a big shipment, and it capsized and went down.
00:06:17 And he lost everything.
00:06:18 So he was a wealthy merchant and
00:06:24 found himself
00:06:26 not even knowing how to afford the next meal.
00:06:30 And instead of letting it get him down,
00:06:32 he developed what's now called stoicism.
00:06:36 Now they wanted to call his followers,
00:06:38 learned to call themselves Zen Ionians,
00:06:41 but he was in a place that was called Painted Porch,
00:06:45 and that that translates to stoic
00:06:49 or stoicism,
00:06:52 because unlike all of the philosophical
00:06:55 and worldviews from before then and after.
00:07:03 Instead of calling
00:07:04 and naming it after himself, he was he selflessly
00:07:07 named it after the place they first met, which was called Painted Porch,
00:07:11 which is where we get stoicism.
00:07:16 And now to be stoic is in
00:07:19 hardships and would faced with adversity,
00:07:23 not letting it affect you and worry
00:07:27 and piss and moan and oh, woe is me self-pity.
00:07:33 All these things that I despise and just pick yourself up
00:07:38 by your bootstraps and get it done with you, with your resources.
00:07:42 That's not taking handouts. That is not
00:07:46 buying lottery tickets and hoping to hit the big one.
00:07:49 It is
00:07:51 the plan,
00:07:53 as everyone's plan should be,
00:07:56 is to make it on your own.
00:07:59 And that's what I mean by bootstraps.
00:08:03 I'm afraid that we're in the
00:08:04 the last generation
00:08:07 that actually knows the value of a hard day's work.
00:08:12 I'm afraid.
00:08:15 Yeah.
00:08:16 Sorry.
00:08:16 I'll try to interrupt as little as possible with the delay, but
00:08:20 no, I love it when you interrupt.
00:08:23 In that case.
00:08:24 Knock, knock.
00:08:26 Who's there?
00:08:27 Interrupting cow.
00:08:29 Move, Move! Oh,
00:08:35 yeah, It was a delay.
00:08:36 It's even funnier.
00:08:38 It is.
00:08:39 And we hardly get used to.
00:08:40 Plus, I can hear myself.
00:08:42 It worked in test pre-production.
00:08:46 We got chat.
00:08:46 I just don't understand people showing up to the gas station
00:08:51 with five bucks and spending
00:08:54 all five of it on lottery tickets.
00:08:58 It never made sense to me.
00:08:59 Yeah, and I get panhandlers all the time.
00:09:01 Back when I was delivering,
00:09:04 people would ask me for pocket
00:09:06 change all the time, and at one point I was just, you know,
00:09:11 snide comments like, get a job or
00:09:15 get a sandwich.
00:09:19 And then I started
00:09:20 giving them money and that made me feel good about myself.
00:09:24 But is it really helping them?
00:09:28 I think a little bootstrap would help the most.
00:09:32 I think it's helping them most.
00:09:35 Yeah, we were in New York.
00:09:36 We were talking to the Vagrants.
00:09:38 They get dropped by vans,
00:09:40 They pay a percentage to the person that helps facilitate.
00:09:44 They work up a hierarchy to the good corners,
00:09:47 and the top earners make about $200,000 a year.
00:09:55 Oh, my God.
00:09:58 That's not bootstraps.
00:09:59 No. There's also homeless people, though, that are like down on their LOC or
00:10:02 drug addicts that can't pull themselves up with with help.
00:10:07 They get help and then they just trash whatever help they had.
00:10:14 Can I digress?
00:10:15 Well, as you know, I started a new job
00:10:20 and today was my third day on the job.
00:10:22 And that's why we're broadcasting so late.
00:10:24 Is is I get out for
00:10:28 hours. I was there for 9 hours.
00:10:30 I put in my time and.
00:10:33 Oh, by the way, who is the best second shift
00:10:37 press operator, you know?
00:10:40 Oh, wait.
00:10:41 First of all, you you know me and I'm a second shift
00:10:45 operator.
00:10:48 Do you know any other second shift?
00:10:50 Press operator? Third best
00:10:52 and the third best.
00:10:54 Okay, I'll take that.
00:10:55 Still on the podium, I get the bronze.
00:10:58 I've never actually seen you press, though, so kind of an assumption.
00:11:03 I actually our newest follower, Nicole, is my trainer,
00:11:07 and she can press circles around me.
00:11:12 Actually,
00:11:12 I was forced to change perspective.
00:11:16 I know, I know.
00:11:17 I will see. I thought you knew about Nicole.
00:11:19 Well, anyway,
00:11:22 I, I, I was forced to change my my viewpoint
00:11:25 on this, and I'm open minded enough to do so.
00:11:29 But I'm used to a job where
00:11:34 I could do it, and no woman has ever done it.
00:11:38 And now I walk into a press operator job where 40% of the work staff
00:11:43 there is female
00:11:49 and these girls can can work. So
00:11:53 I was wrong.
00:11:54 Oh, I remember perspective as a delivery driver.
00:11:59 I knew that I would see some female truck drivers
00:12:02 and they couldn't do what I did, which was side
00:12:06 loader work, moving all the cases out of the truck by hand.
00:12:11 But I see them driving semis
00:12:14 and I'm seeing them
00:12:16 work a press better than I can.
00:12:18 So I may I may have to change my perspective on that.
00:12:23 Homeless people, it's all about perspective.
00:12:26 Homeless woman,
00:12:28 homeless women
00:12:30 black out that the trifecta
00:12:36 that the topic today,
00:12:39 isn't it?
00:12:41 What?
00:12:41 I hope so.
00:12:44 They're always these are brown.
00:12:45 Oh, no, these are brown.
00:12:47 Have you ever seen white boot straps?
00:12:51 Absolute strap right there.
00:12:53 I knew you'd wear your bootstrap.
00:12:55 I also wore my Bedazzled Effect shirt
00:13:04 in that silly,
00:13:07 is it? Let me see it again.
00:13:09 I'm messing with the check because it's stopped off.
00:13:11 I'm going to have to just forget about it.
00:13:16 Oh, yeah,
00:13:18 actually. Pretty cool, huh?
00:13:20 Looks pink in the color.
00:13:22 Yeah, I know. It's.
00:13:23 It's a girly is Boba Fett shirt I can find nice.
00:13:28 There are girls.
00:13:29 The Mandalorian.
00:13:33 Oh, yeah.
00:13:33 Yeah.
00:13:36 But what am I doing?
00:13:41 Look at.
00:13:41 Look here.
00:13:43 I cut myself.
00:13:44 I cut my mole shaving.
00:13:46 I just nicked the mole.
00:13:48 And then
00:13:50 it started bleeding.
00:13:52 And I tried to get the bleeding to stop the whole drive to work.
00:13:56 And I thought I had it under control.
00:13:58 And I think I needed a guy to, like, touch it or drop
00:14:01 the the the clot, the the scab.
00:14:04 And then it bled down my face all day at work.
00:14:08 It was. But I think it helps my street cred.
00:14:11 I'm But
00:14:17 here I am starting a new job where I am low man on the totem pole.
00:14:21 Last week I was the king of snaffle delivery drivers.
00:14:26 This week and today I am
00:14:28 there.
00:14:31 Now I'm starting at the bottom rung.
00:14:33 But you know what? We back up.
00:14:36 Yeah, please.
00:14:37 What is it entailed to be the King of Snapple?
00:14:39 I explain that like people, like, fanning you
00:14:43 with big leaves that say, made from butter and feeding me grapes.
00:14:47 Yeah. Yeah.
00:14:48 All that, huh?
00:14:51 I wouldn't want to. I don't know. I worked it.
00:14:53 It was like I was a local celebrity.
00:14:55 I could walk in right now and get just the greeting of a look at that.
00:15:01 The champion
00:15:04 of the people.
00:15:06 Fun that you can't hear. The sound effects can.
00:15:09 No, I can't.
00:15:10 That's great.
00:15:13 But it's humbling
00:15:14 not being any good at my job.
00:15:18 But I'm I'm working on
00:15:19 becoming very good at my job very fast.
00:15:22 Yeah.
00:15:24 There's not much of a learning curve, is there?
00:15:28 You know what?
00:15:29 It's not a difficult job, but it is complicated.
00:15:31 There are steps.
00:15:32 There are many, many, many steps.
00:15:36 And it's it can get complex.
00:15:42 And the
00:15:43 the standard of excellence of like the parts have to be perfect.
00:15:48 You don't turn in a part that's not perfect and I made over
00:15:52 30,000 parts today.
00:15:54 I made what I didn't even know I could do that.
00:16:01 Oh, that's a nice part, if you look at it.
00:16:04 Yeah, I don't even have an example.
00:16:06 It's the moon.
00:16:09 It's the moon.
00:16:10 It's the moon. While the alleged moon
00:16:15 I met a moon denier.
00:16:17 Maybe we should do a whole episode on Moon Denial.
00:16:21 Maybe we should. We'll call it.
00:16:23 What is the shape and why are you seeming to?
00:16:26 Because all planet on the earth is too.
00:16:30 That's an oblate spheroid
00:16:32 arguing out of assumption.
00:16:36 I is an argument out of assumption.
00:16:39 I don't believe it.
00:16:40 But like all planets like it.
00:16:42 It's exactly.
00:16:44 It's not round or old
00:16:48 or oblate.
00:16:52 It's a pretty smooth sphere.
00:16:54 Series of ones and zeros,
00:16:58 quite possibly.
00:17:01 So anyway, my plan is to bootstrap my way to the top.
00:17:05 And there's more satisfaction
00:17:07 from starting at the bottom rung and getting all the way up.
00:17:11 But that means the guy who put a lot of faith in me, his name is Bob.
00:17:17 That means I'm going in for his job
00:17:18 and that that might make me seem like a turncoat,
00:17:24 like I'm ungrateful, but I don't want his job
00:17:28 until he's ready to retire
00:17:30 and then I take over.
00:17:33 But that's what I want to do.
00:17:35 I want to work my way up.
00:17:37 He's 20 years old.
00:17:38 Noel.
00:17:40 Yeah, I hope he's not younger than me.
00:17:42 It's. He does look younger than me.
00:17:44 But everybody who's about my age looks younger than me.
00:17:47 I guess I've been road hardened, put up with
00:17:53 to look at my shirt again.
00:17:56 Okay, there it is.
00:17:58 That was pretty snazzy. The.
00:18:05 Oh, I have a mute button there. Oh,
00:18:09 what's this third screen doing
00:18:12 that.
00:18:12 Some sort of video I'm watching.
00:18:16 He's talking to her boobs.
00:18:18 That's hilarious.
00:18:22 Is there a music video
00:18:25 maker in from the bottom?
00:18:26 Now we here
00:18:28 do this video.
00:18:30 I'm going to dedicate this video to
00:18:33 William Turner Senior.
00:18:35 They can't see it. It was just for you.
00:18:38 Oh, okay.
00:18:40 Start from the bottom.
00:18:41 Now we're here.
00:18:43 Do you know who William Turner Senior is?
00:18:47 Most people know him as
00:18:49 bootstrap or bootstrap.
00:18:51 Bill.
00:18:52 True Pirates of the Caribbean.
00:18:54 I've never seen any of those.
00:18:56 Are they good?
00:18:58 Yeah, they're fantastic.
00:18:59 I love the music.
00:19:02 Yes, they ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
00:19:04 ba ba ba ba ba ba.
00:19:09 It's great Swashbuckling pirates.
00:19:14 I have not seen it.
00:19:16 They have boots. Oh, that's all right.
00:19:19 But yeah, there's a character bootstrap bill,
00:19:22 is they.
00:19:23 Does he concentrate on his bootstraps.
00:19:27 He died before the remake.
00:19:31 He died before the first episode.
00:19:34 So it's mostly focuses on his son
00:19:39 Will Turner Jr
00:19:45 It was Will Turner.
00:19:48 Yeah, we'll Turner.
00:19:49 Great name.
00:19:52 Yeah.
00:20:01 Will Turner over bootstraps bootstraps.
00:20:05 I plan that having a demonstration I do have my bootstraps on
00:20:08 and I was going to hook up a pulley system
00:20:11 and see if I could pull myself up by my bootstraps.
00:20:15 But I, I would rather
00:20:19 there's one message I can send out.
00:20:22 It's don't count on someone to save you.
00:20:27 If you want something done right, do it yourself.
00:20:34 Trouble
00:20:35 waiting for your ship to come in, Make your own breaks.
00:20:40 But I
00:20:43 went last time.
00:20:44 You did anything 100% on your own.
00:20:46 You grow your own food from sea to table.
00:20:48 And we always need a little help from our friends.
00:20:51 We always get by with a little help from our friends.
00:20:54 Sometimes we even get high with a little help from our friends.
00:20:58 Aren't your friends
00:21:00 elicit amongst your resources
00:21:03 you're using As long as you as long as you're using
00:21:07 strictly your own resources.
00:21:10 That is the bootstrap technique.
00:21:17 Yeah, I like stoicism a little better.
00:21:21 Sounds great in theory. Yeah. I like. Yeah.
00:21:23 Don't bitch about your problems because everybody has problems.
00:21:25 Stoicism definitely keeps people more mentally sane, right?
00:21:31 Like I've had it with people
00:21:34 just wallowing in their misery and all the self-pity.
00:21:37 Oh, woe is me.
00:21:39 I had a hard life.
00:21:40 I wasn't raised right.
00:21:43 Well,
00:21:44 now do something.
00:21:48 Do something
00:21:50 good, better, indifferent.
00:21:52 Just do something.
00:21:53 Break it.
00:21:54 Arrow, Put your own stamp on your life.
00:21:57 Don't let someone else define you.
00:22:03 Basic bootstrap philosophy.
00:22:11 I agree and I disagree.
00:22:14 Well, I just got an email about this show
00:22:19 on email or
00:22:22 oh, words matter.
00:22:24 What was it?
00:22:26 Oh, it is a text.
00:22:28 It's for George if he wants to join.
00:22:31 Oh, okay, good.
00:22:32 Yeah, we got this extra screen.
00:22:34 Let's let everyone join.
00:22:40 You know what?
00:22:40 We should actually have Nicole join.
00:22:43 She's our newest friend,
00:22:46 and she's.
00:22:47 She binged us all weekend.
00:22:50 Oh, she got through.
00:22:52 Yeah, she got through time.
00:22:54 Magic first to the first to Geezer and Junior him.
00:22:59 So she's not caught up yet, but she's she plowed through like for
00:23:04 the season two two and a half hours on we're going to have a lot of that where
00:23:08 you see that and go back to the library and want to watch and catch up.
00:23:12 By the time you have a thousand.
00:23:15 I've been
00:23:15 watching the numbers and they don't move much.
00:23:19 We still we're still stuck at 400 with nothing.
00:23:23 And then everything else is about 300 views.
00:23:25 So when is the last time you stood at a podium and talked to 400 people?
00:23:30 It's not insignificant.
00:23:33 I school
00:23:35 of High school
00:23:38 35 years ago.
00:23:40 You do it better or worse than when you were in high school.
00:23:46 I'm doing better for myself.
00:23:48 I mean, okay. So.
00:23:50 So I've experienced white privilege.
00:23:52 I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
00:23:54 I really haven't had to earn anything.
00:23:57 But look what I'm doing now.
00:24:00 I am a
00:24:02 second shift press operator.
00:24:05 I took a $7 an hour pay cut to do it.
00:24:08 This is the bootstrap story.
00:24:10 This is why I chose Bootstraps this week is you choose, but I like your idea of
00:24:17 week 13 being superstition.
00:24:21 If we could have Stevie Wonder do a live performance for us,
00:24:24 that would be fantastic.
00:24:25 We have really good celebrity guest appearance.
00:24:27 Stevie Wonder.
00:24:29 Do you think we can get Stevie Wonder?
00:24:31 I'll try.
00:24:33 Okay.
00:24:33 Thank you.
00:24:36 What makes me
00:24:38 what makes me crazy?
00:24:39 We do three reasons in the budget.
00:24:41 Do you think it might? Except that,
00:24:44 well, it drives me crazy is crap.
00:24:46 Here's his phone number.
00:24:48 Oh, great.
00:24:50 And to put it on screen right
00:24:52 here,
00:24:55 the song is called Superstition.
00:24:58 And that's one word he never says in the song.
00:25:02 It's very superstitious is how the the chorus goes.
00:25:07 But the song is called Superstition.
00:25:11 I always thought that was a little odd,
00:25:14 a little
00:25:18 improper grammar, but
00:25:20 it's a great song. No, no, no, no.
00:25:24 The grammar is fine.
00:25:26 I just don't know what the title is referring to.
00:25:29 I'm thinking this might not be real
00:25:35 because, you know, it's midnight.
00:25:37 It's like Tuesday already did
00:25:42 I get up at six in the morning?
00:25:45 This is too late for me.
00:25:46 Don't. Don't do that tomorrow.
00:25:49 What time do you start your shift?
00:25:52 Noon.
00:25:55 So get up at like ten
00:25:58 and then go to bed at, like, two.
00:26:02 There's the dog feeding schedule.
00:26:04 There's. There's more involved.
00:26:05 I've got to milk the chickens.
00:26:07 I live on a farm now. I'm a farmer.
00:26:10 The cows lay eggs,
00:26:13 big ass eggs.
00:26:17 I've got nipples.
00:26:17 Greg, can you milk me?
00:26:20 That's the easiest way to end an argument about two genders.
00:26:24 Yeah, I would sit through that and I want to say crazy,
00:26:26 but she's a little bit peculiar, that Arizona politician.
00:26:30 I can't think of her name.
00:26:32 She said try to milk a bill
00:26:35 they called.
00:26:36 What's the male version of a cow?
00:26:37 It's late.
00:26:38 You said it was late, right? Bull.
00:26:40 I'm 5 hours
00:26:43 more high than normal.
00:26:44 Milk. Apple. Bull. Yeah.
00:26:45 Try and milk a bull that you'll figure out the two gender thing real quick.
00:26:50 Yeah, Gender is binary.
00:26:54 Is that what we're getting into today?
00:26:56 Nope.
00:26:58 No. Okay.
00:27:01 Bootstraps.
00:27:03 Yeah.
00:27:04 Stop blaming other people for your problems.
00:27:08 Well, you can.
00:27:10 I agree with that. I don't want to.
00:27:12 I don't want to make excuses for people.
00:27:15 But there are some people that General
00:27:17 only need assistance,
00:27:22 right?
00:27:22 I pay my taxes.
00:27:24 Some of those go towards assistance.
00:27:27 I think it's being misused.
00:27:29 We could talk about charity.
00:27:31 Oh, yeah, Charity.
00:27:33 What is it?
00:27:34 5% actually goes towards their future, up to 10%.
00:27:39 They claim that it's way more. But would you look?
00:27:43 It's not.
00:27:45 Didn't someone make off
00:27:46 with all the Black Lives Matter money?
00:27:49 I did not hear that.
00:27:51 I know they have mansions and over live
00:27:54 or over that overspend for their means
00:28:03 tradition
00:28:05 charity should start at home,
00:28:07 not in corporations.
00:28:11 Oh, okay.
00:28:13 You know needs help.
00:28:16 Not. That's right.
00:28:17 That's making 200 grand and none that has fishnet stockings and high heels.
00:28:22 When you look under her little habit
00:28:24 that happened to us in New York City, we just got there.
00:28:27 One of our family members is like, Oh, look, there were two nuns
00:28:30 that were begging, and an uncle grabbed us and said, Wait, look, stop.
00:28:36 We saw fishnet stockings in high heels.
00:28:39 They were obviously not really nuns.
00:28:42 Oh, my God.
00:28:44 It takes only a couple to ruin it for everyone.
00:28:49 Wow. Riveting.
00:28:54 How many?
00:28:54 You know, how many Looney Tunes have you had?
00:28:58 No, I've been.
00:29:01 I've been refilling this from this,
00:29:08 and. Yeah,
00:29:09 just one second.
00:29:19 And you knew that while you were drinking
00:29:22 three.
00:29:22 Cool.
00:29:26 What I do
00:29:32 mute this.
00:29:40 Are you going to be all right?
00:29:41 I was tested.
00:29:42 You're so what were your bootstraps?
00:29:44 I don't think it worked.
00:29:51 Oh. Oh, you do have a cough button.
00:29:57 That's good. There we go.
00:30:00 That cough wasn't even real.
00:30:07 They cough.
00:30:11 I can't read the comments.
00:30:12 Is that draw?
00:30:14 Did Gary just seriously say BCE?
00:30:18 Did you see?
00:30:20 You mean instead of
00:30:24 as busy
00:30:25 giving money to homeless,
00:30:28 actually keep them homeless, they need to seek a homeless shelter.
00:30:32 The problem is those most homeless shelters don't accept
00:30:36 drug addicts unless they sign up for, you know, checking themselves in.
00:30:41 There's so many things that keep people out of shelters
00:30:44 and then the ones that are actually good and let people in are usually full,
00:30:49 especially when a girl
00:30:52 that is hollow.
00:30:53 Yes. About this wonderful.
00:30:56 The definition of the three parent, my fruity
00:30:58 three Prince of London,
00:31:01 which is the good side,
00:31:04 the dark side is just hammered
00:31:07 with craters.
00:31:11 Weird for
00:31:12 just being a projection in the sky.
00:31:17 Does your moon have craters?
00:31:20 Yeah, it's texture.
00:31:22 So when you put the light in it, you know,
00:31:25 Yeah,
00:31:27 I might have a light.
00:31:30 I can work.
00:31:31 That's pretty cool.
00:31:34 That's too bright.
00:31:38 Oh, I see some craters now.
00:31:41 That is way cool.
00:31:44 You're getting better with that 3D.
00:31:46 Better. See the dark spot?
00:31:49 Yeah.
00:31:51 Sea of Tranquility.
00:31:53 Yeah. Called.
00:31:55 No, I learn something every week.
00:32:00 Yeah.
00:32:00 Entertaining and educational.
00:32:03 That's what I'm here for.
00:32:05 Still haven't been out to get me, son.
00:32:09 I'm not complaining how many hours I worked or anything.
00:32:12 Because you
00:32:14 bootstraps.
00:32:18 Yeah. You.
00:32:19 You get more light from the computer screen.
00:32:22 It's called a michigan ten.
00:32:27 First rule of bootstraps.
00:32:28 Don't talk about bootstraps,
00:32:32 right?
00:32:32 Yeah.
00:32:35 And keep it to yourself.
00:32:38 Try this.
00:32:45 Oh, yeah.
00:32:45 Give me a spin.
00:32:50 Uh, uh, it'd be better.
00:32:58 Uh, I can see it
00:33:05 looks pretty generic.
00:33:08 They're gonna be outdated, but I still love them.
00:33:13 Now that I've got my dream home, I really want the leather
00:33:16 bound edition of, like,
00:33:20 a print clip.
00:33:21 Here.
00:33:22 I want, like.
00:33:23 Like all the classics and, like, leather bound.
00:33:27 Perfect. You know, pristine.
00:33:31 No, I still love books.
00:33:35 I don't do.
00:33:36 I don't read them on my my tablet.
00:33:39 Kindle.
00:33:41 The Kindle. Yeah. I don't.
00:33:42 I don't use Kindle.
00:33:43 I use I use real, real books.
00:33:45 I read real books. I love books.
00:33:49 So you're not going to hear negative things about books from me
00:33:53 because I love a good read.
00:34:00 What's your favorite book?
00:34:03 Stranger in a Strange Land.
00:34:04 Robert headline.
00:34:05 Robert a headline.
00:34:08 What a great name for a Writer.
00:34:12 I Hate You.
00:34:13 That's what he thought when he came up with that, I'm sure.
00:34:16 Yeah.
00:34:19 Uh, the funny thing about that is my favorite authors
00:34:23 been Isaac Asimov and
00:34:28 I can't narrow down from his 300 books.
00:34:31 You know, my favorite.
00:34:33 But it's kind of odd
00:34:35 that he's not the author of my favorite book, though.
00:34:39 He is my favorite author, but my favorite body of work is Isaac Asimov.
00:34:57 But they draw
00:35:00 there's a draw.
00:35:04 We can electric
00:35:07 like it.
00:35:08 It's a draw. Don't let me interrupt.
00:35:11 Oh, no.
00:35:12 I appreciate it When you do it are up. Oh,
00:35:17 hold on.
00:35:18 I've got you in my other ear playing a little bit behind.
00:35:23 Oh, okay.
00:35:25 Next year to bootstrap your way here.
00:35:28 I don't know. I wasn't.
00:35:29 I didn't realize that your little bootstrap rant was going to be
00:35:32 all personal, all about your little transition of work.
00:35:39 Um, that my wall was about the upcoming generations.
00:35:43 When they have to run this place, they're not going to be.
00:35:46 They're just going to be ill equipped or they make as they grow
00:35:50 as time goes on.
00:35:52 Yeah.
00:35:53 Yeah.
00:35:55 Well, if the paradigm shift that
00:35:57 I look forward to actually happens,
00:36:01 then we're not going to have to work as much because, you know, free energy.
00:36:06 But I don't think paradigms going to work like I want it do.
00:36:10 That's the democratic goal is communism for all
00:36:17 the everyone gets a small
00:36:19 slice of a small amount and somehow, yeah,
00:36:24 whether you whether you earn it or you don't, everyone gets the same bullshit.
00:36:27 So global economy and all that all that B.S.
00:36:35 Nice.
00:36:36 I love a fresh perspective. Thanks, Joe.
00:36:38 Yeah, No, go on.
00:36:40 Well, I don't have to start from the top
00:36:44 with your situation
00:36:47 going. Yeah,
00:36:48 Man of the town to a low man on the totem.
00:36:51 I did the same thing recently, a couple of years ago.
00:36:55 Well, initially, I was working at a manufacturing job
00:36:58 as just the bitch worker, and then I kind of learned a few things
00:37:02 and surpassed my buddy by the name of Joe. Who?
00:37:06 You know, who Actually, yes, like that.
00:37:09 I was surpassing him and tried to hinder my
00:37:14 moving up
00:37:15 in spaces, but then that business ended up closing down.
00:37:19 I ended up going to school for welding,
00:37:22 ended up getting a job as a welder, but still got in the door as a painter's
00:37:28 helper, helping this 5050 year old alcoholic
00:37:33 got off the alcohol.
00:37:36 He smelled I'll drink every day.
00:37:38 He was disgusting, but workmates too.
00:37:42 We had our own fabrication shop at a certain point
00:37:45 and I was pretty much I could do every single job in the facility
00:37:49 right then most of the people that actually did their own jobs.
00:37:53 But during COVID transitioned
00:37:57 to doing repair and training on some plasma cutting systems,
00:38:02 which was a job transition and back to the low man on the totem.
00:38:08 And yep, I'm going up.
00:38:10 But guess what?
00:38:11 I didn't go from low man on the high, man on the totem.
00:38:18 I went from high man on the totem to low man on the totem.
00:38:21 But I went up and in pay and down
00:38:24 in amount of work that I needed to do weekly. So
00:38:29 bootstraps motherfucker, bootstraps that.
00:38:33 And that's I love the story like that.
00:38:37 The easy story similar.
00:38:38 It started as a auto detailer, worked his way up to the executive offices
00:38:44 the General Motors new world headquarters and
00:38:50 yeah uses an office the use of part of the car.
00:38:53 Well he became one
00:38:55 right
00:38:58 but going from the auto detailer to
00:39:03 700000 to 7000 $70,000
00:39:07 a year to six figures in like increments.
00:39:11 It's just incredible to me that's bootstrap.
00:39:14 Well, that's the the narrative that was pushed for a long time.
00:39:18 And this is not like just new knowledge.
00:39:20 This is not people know that shit, but college.
00:39:22 How colleges overestimated colleges
00:39:26 not fully needed trades is more important than college.
00:39:31 I have to agree because I've got my four year degree
00:39:35 and I've never used that one minute of my life.
00:39:38 I mean,
00:39:40 I've got welding degrees, but they're in a specific trade
00:39:44 and I didn't write the general study, so I don't have the
00:39:47 I don't have the associate's degree, but I have two certificate degrees,
00:39:51 so I'd rather have what I need than a bunch of fellows.
00:39:55 But I've had a best sort of science.
00:40:00 And all I learned was that I can read three books
00:40:03 and write five papers every week for three and a half years.
00:40:06 I can't read a book.
00:40:08 I got books back.
00:40:09 Yeah, fully finished in a single one of them.
00:40:12 I don't think I had my entire life to be honest.
00:40:16 I don't think I have.
00:40:18 That's my way to score Cliff notes
00:40:21 because no.
00:40:21 Yeah, those are the best.
00:40:26 I. I really thought
00:40:28 bootstraps was a good topic and I was right.
00:40:31 Well, that's funny.
00:40:33 Just because we've had a conversation behind closed doors before this,
00:40:35 just about the absurdity of bootstrapping, right?
00:40:39 Oh, yeah.
00:40:39 No, I've been tugging on mine, like trying to figure out how this works, but
00:40:44 I always put levers and pulleys, you know, Let's see the demo.
00:40:48 You can see my rafters
00:40:50 look up here.
00:40:52 I was like, could suspend myself from the ceiling.
00:40:55 Yeah, You got enough ceiling there to work with it?
00:40:57 Yeah. Careful.
00:40:59 That sounds like different than bootstrap.
00:41:00 That sounds like ending.
00:41:02 Don't. Don't suspend. Oh, from the ceiling.
00:41:04 Well,
00:41:06 okay.
00:41:07 Ratings.
00:41:08 You're jealous of my ceiling, viewers.
00:41:11 The ceiling prayer shut out to Robin
00:41:14 Williams and Chris Cornell.
00:41:18 Don't forget Chris Benoit,
00:41:21 correct? Correct.
00:41:23 With the way Kurt Cobain.
00:41:25 No, that was a gun.
00:41:27 Oh. Oh, well, that was a murder, Epstein
00:41:32 So the homeless situation, right?
00:41:34 So, yeah,
00:41:37 podcast that I was doing some side production work for
00:41:41 was working with South Oakland Shelter, which turned into a merger
00:41:45 with lighthouses.
00:41:46 But they are a local homeless shelter who actually
00:41:49 specializes in making people no longer hope.
00:41:53 They take the resources and they teach them how to get jobs.
00:41:56 They teach them how to places that they can actually live.
00:41:59 They teach them how to not be homeless anymore.
00:42:02 And they specifically say when you give a homeless person money,
00:42:06 you are keeping them homeless.
00:42:08 You are not aiding them because they know that they can go to that corner
00:42:12 and make a specific amount of money
00:42:14 every single day and they get stuck in that habit.
00:42:16 They don't get out of it.
00:42:18 So don't give homeless people money, give them food,
00:42:22 give them water, don't give them the money.
00:42:24 Tough love.
00:42:25 It kind of sounds like give a man a fish and he'll eat for the day.
00:42:30 Teach Amanda and efficiently for a lifetime, as long as he's willing to be taught.
00:42:35 Not a messed, meth addicted,
00:42:38 crazy person that doesn't have any will or ambition.
00:42:41 Correct.
00:42:43 I love California.
00:42:46 I got a sob story when I was delivering at a Ypsilanti gas station
00:42:51 and I knew the situation like there was a
00:42:54 the crack runner was a guy that we called crack.
00:42:59 He crack under.
00:43:00 Doesn't look really good runner.
00:43:01 You mean he ran crack for somebody?
00:43:04 Yes. You can guess
00:43:07 if he was the middle man.
00:43:09 So a different guy in that crack.
00:43:12 He approached me while I was making the delivery, said, Listen,
00:43:18 they're having to call me Day.
00:43:21 I've got three kids and my wife.
00:43:23 We could all have a pony for $10.
00:43:26 So I gave him $10.
00:43:27 Next, I go back behind the building where my truck is part.
00:43:31 I pull out and next thing I see is crack
00:43:34 running across the street with my $10 bill.
00:43:36 And he's waving it above his head, running through traffic
00:43:40 without checking either way, not using jaywalking,
00:43:43 running through traffic with my $10 bill going to get crack.
00:43:47 And that is the one and only time that I know of
00:43:50 that My $10 directly went to buying crack cocaine.
00:43:58 The only time that I know of anywhere
00:44:05 or the story,
00:44:10 but I bought the sob story.
00:44:19 Oh, juror saying something is juror mute
00:44:22 in Miami. Can you hear me?
00:44:24 Yeah, we can.
00:44:25 I can hear you.
00:44:26 And Handler making this 16 bucks an hour.
00:44:32 Oh, really?
00:44:32 How much you make you don't.
00:44:38 Minimum wage.
00:44:39 What is minimum wage in Michigan?
00:44:40 Like 1050.
00:44:44 I think babysitters make more than that.
00:44:46 You should beg instead of working McDonald's.
00:44:50 I've seen that YouTube video where the guy gets off of this corner
00:44:53 from panhandling and hops into a mercedes.
00:44:58 But that's YouTube video,
00:45:00 right? Hello?
00:45:02 Yeah. Oh, there you are. Yeah.
00:45:04 I make 45 a year helping homeless
00:45:08 homeless people. Sorry.
00:45:10 The most intriguing one of my opinion was I was leaving Little Caesars
00:45:13 Arena with my brother and this homeless guy
00:45:17 come rolling up to me, and he's just asking for, like,
00:45:20 a dollar or $2 or something really reasonable.
00:45:24 And he's
00:45:25 holding up his hands and he's like missing fingers and shit.
00:45:28 And some like inside.
00:45:29 I'm sorry, he, he looks homeless.
00:45:32 And so then I'm like, like $2, that's it.
00:45:35 And he goes, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:45:36 So I open my wallet and I start scrolling through my money and he's like the $10.
00:45:41 And I'm like, Was is it, is it, is it $2 or is it $10?
00:45:45 And he's like $10.
00:45:47 And I'm like, okay, well, what changed between
00:45:49 before when you said $2 and now when you said $10?
00:45:53 So I'm like, I'm
00:45:54 going to have this conversation with him just to kind of fuck with them a bit
00:45:57 when he realizes I am not giving him money, he just fucking turns his back
00:46:01 and goes right to the next person and just continues his shit.
00:46:04 He had me at $2.
00:46:06 He lost me when he got greedy. The effort.
00:46:10 I need $2.
00:46:11 I'll help you out if you change like nothing.
00:46:15 Nothing change between $2 and $10.
00:46:18 It's not like
00:46:19 all of a sudden this burden of an extra $8
00:46:22 came your way, so.
00:46:25 Right.
00:46:26 Well, it was like a day or two after I read on the internet
00:46:30 that there was this this field going on where the guy is asking
00:46:34 for 1850 or something very specific for a serpentine belt
00:46:38 to get his car started because his family's out here, whatever.
00:46:42 This long story actually got the story.
00:46:45 And I said, I'll tell you what great story.
00:46:49 I've heard it before, but you so, well, well-rehearsed.
00:46:53 Here's five bucks for your trouble. Thank you.
00:46:55 That was very entertaining.
00:46:57 And he he nodded
00:47:00 and then accepted my $5 because he was busted.
00:47:04 But you know what?
00:47:05 He still made decent money.
00:47:07 He didn't get the 1850, but he didn't need a serpentine belt.
00:47:11 And we both knew it.
00:47:17 The one
00:47:18 what used to be Buscemi's on the way the easy's
00:47:21 Yeah, there's a one time where there was a guy out out
00:47:24 front of there that
00:47:28 he was asking
00:47:30 for alcohol specifically and he, he had the shakes.
00:47:33 Those were he was exciting out would have been excellent
00:47:38 professional at the paint mixing store.
00:47:41 I shake one hell of a shake
00:47:43 wait artist as well Like he'd probably tear that shake made up
00:47:47 but he was honest about it, right?
00:47:50 I, I, I still told him no.
00:47:54 Oh, I get that you're honest about it, but I still don't want to see all that.
00:47:59 Like, you throw it like Fox joke, at least. No.
00:48:03 But then he asked me
00:48:04 not to tell the person at the counter that he was out there and I didn't.
00:48:09 Oh, I thought. I totally thought about it.
00:48:12 Like I
00:48:12 said, I went I didn't know if there was a
00:48:16 there was a chick by herself and he come rolling up to them.
00:48:19 I don't know.
00:48:20 She'd be freaked the fuck out.
00:48:21 But what I when I walked out, yeah, he was gone.
00:48:24 I don't know.
00:48:25 But I felt bad for him. But I don't know.
00:48:28 Apparently all you need is a bunch of kratom and a friend that you can sleep on.
00:48:33 There. There.
00:48:34 There are a
00:48:36 large single recliner.
00:48:43 You know how many people have
00:48:45 let stay at my house because they were homeless?
00:48:48 I think the count is up to seven.
00:48:51 But we have to repeat offenders.
00:48:54 Yeah, the repeat.
00:48:55 So one.
00:48:57 I mean, there's plenty of sites that sought refuge.
00:49:00 There's that sought refuge.
00:49:01 I was I was one of them plenty of times. Just
00:49:04 I'll just go over it again.
00:49:05 Oh, yeah.
00:49:07 Nothing else to do
00:49:10 right?
00:49:13 A book or
00:49:17 you've got some buddies there.
00:49:18 But now I've got the compound we lost.
00:49:22 Oh, I need to set this down.
00:49:24 The brand.
00:49:26 Beer. Beer?
00:49:26 To build you a beer.
00:49:27 But it has you is what you said.
00:49:30 That was everyone walking away.
00:49:31 Now I guess I'm going to walk away to
00:49:36 You got to ride right along for.
00:49:41 Can he smoke in there?
00:49:42 Does he need to take a break or is he taking a cough?
00:49:45 Cough? Great.
00:49:48 Well, I will say
00:49:50 sponsored by north of 12 Winery,
00:49:53 which is in Brooklyn, Michigan, by Miami, which is not up north.
00:49:57 But my girlfriend calls it up north, which is where I call out west
00:50:02 saying we're going up north. I'm like, No, you're out.
00:50:03 You're going out west.
00:50:09 But they make a hell of a cream ale.
00:50:14 And that being said,
00:50:16 I need to grab my balloon because it's in the other room
00:50:19 and then into the headphones.
00:50:22 This guy took an hour driving around
00:50:26 California like Los Angeles.
00:50:28 I can see his house.
00:50:47 So people are okay
00:50:49 helping one or two people that are down on their luck.
00:50:52 Are they okay with this on their front lawn?
00:51:00 What do you think, baby?
00:51:00 What is
00:51:10 grow goo?
00:51:14 Sounds like goofing off to be gone
00:51:19 that we put on plants
00:51:22 to get rid of that scummy, slimy stuff on the.
00:51:25 Oh, yeah.
00:51:26 Oh, you.
00:51:30 This homeless encampment looks nice.
00:51:33 Looks almost like a tailgate
00:51:39 is as soon as they attach it to the fence.
00:51:42 That should be. Were the line
00:51:44 drawn?
00:51:49 I can hear you there. You.
00:51:54 I'm not saying anything.
00:51:55 Oh, that's why I couldn't hear you.
00:51:57 That makes sense. Oh, okay. Yeah.
00:52:00 Yeah.
00:52:02 So this guy drives for, like, an hour, and
00:52:05 I think it was just a couple of weeks ago
00:52:08 in California.
00:52:10 It's everywhere.
00:52:13 And the problem that they have is this.
00:52:15 There's nowhere to go.
00:52:17 There's nowhere to put them.
00:52:19 You can't just shuffle them around.
00:52:20 Nobody there is somewhere to put them.
00:52:23 You put them in the jobs
00:52:25 and then they get some money and then they get their own places to live.
00:52:29 So I do have some perspective on this because I've done
00:52:32 a little bit of traveling
00:52:35 the last couple of years for work,
00:52:36 and I've been out to California a couple of times,
00:52:42 Beverly Hills Boulevard early.
00:52:44 I was like, you know, I've never seen the homeless that many homeless evenly
00:52:48 spread out, just hanging out
00:52:52 in the streets, just like every like four feet.
00:52:56 There was one for about at least a mile.
00:52:59 Mile? Yeah.
00:53:00 But then where the walker, the all the dumb Hollywood stars and shit,
00:53:03 they were all kind of gone from that area.
00:53:05 But that area looks like a dumb tourist trap.
00:53:08 To be honest, I did not stop
00:53:11 over there, but
00:53:13 it was quite interesting.
00:53:14 I drove through Chicago every once in a while
00:53:17 and there's plenty of Chanty town in Chicago as well.
00:53:20 But the L.A.
00:53:22 area was way worse.
00:53:24 But the L.A. area is also there.
00:53:27 Local politics and a specific type of politic in general that allows
00:53:35 because we
00:53:35 talked about this with Brady and the story about people walking
00:53:39 across the grass and leaving a little rut.
00:53:43 Oh, yeah.
00:53:44 Because the part between the sidewalk in the street,
00:53:48 the city property, technically, even though you have to maintain it.
00:53:51 But California politics states that people can to live on that
00:53:56 and the easement that's on the state owned property.
00:53:59 And so you have areas where there's people set up
00:54:03 all on those areas.
00:54:06 I was in San Francisco briefly.
00:54:07 I did not see it where I was, but I do know that it exists
00:54:10 pretty heavily in San Francisco because I do
00:54:15 the parts that I used to help out.
00:54:17 I still listen to it, but I don't help them out anymore.
00:54:19 But even though they didn't recently solicit me to help them out again,
00:54:24 but just minor production work, just pull in clips and whatnot. But
00:54:31 he is has family that is in the San Francisco area and says that it is
00:54:35 frickin night and day when it used to be just because you have this
00:54:39 plethora of homeless population
00:54:42 and everyone has been this is not you know,
00:54:47 people know this but the migration of a lot of people
00:54:50 out of the state of California, particularly to Texas.
00:54:55 Yeah, because of this, I even worked for
00:55:00 the people that I was working for in California.
00:55:03 The owner of the one business basically said that he was coaching his kids
00:55:06 because he said that you can't really necessarily
00:55:10 get anywhere by just a regular job.
00:55:12 He he has he said that you need to
00:55:17 buy a house, make it a rental,
00:55:19 and then use that rental money on top of what your regular job is
00:55:23 in order to have a the money to be able to live and operate in California.
00:55:29 But I just I don't know why.
00:55:30 Then they flock to California. Is it just the warm weather?
00:55:34 Because things are
00:55:35 expensive in California. So
00:55:38 and then you get to a homeless situation.
00:55:41 What's that?
00:55:42 A skid row,
00:55:44 all that shit.
00:55:45 That's quite interesting. I've never seen that.
00:55:48 But Skid Row is pretty much where all the homeless people flock.
00:55:52 And it's quite
00:55:54 a conglomeration of drug addicts.
00:55:58 The worst of.
00:56:01 Yeah,
00:56:03 you know, somebody else tell you that
00:56:05 this shows my trip to Alaska.
00:56:08 There was a lot of homeless in L.A.
00:56:10 Everyone else took.
00:56:12 Yeah, I think that was breaking news.
00:56:17 We got five grants news here
00:56:24 This just in
00:56:27 this podcast
00:56:29 just hit triple digits and views
00:56:32 and we just went from 99 to 100.
00:56:35 Incredible,
00:56:37 incredible.
00:56:40 It's the draw effect.
00:56:41 I hate to be a selfie stick.
00:56:43 No, it is the draw effect.
00:56:46 So these were we were going to draw they show all the homeless encampments.
00:56:50 You notice a specific area with none.
00:56:56 Do they vote?
00:56:56 Do they vote red?
00:56:58 It's Beverly Hills,
00:57:01 West Hollywood.
00:57:02 Oh, is it because they
00:57:03 police them all out of the area and sue them to the lesser areas?
00:57:07 So isn't it just as easy as asking what they do and
00:57:10 replicating that for all those other cities and counties?
00:57:14 Yeah, they they tell them to get the fuck out of there.
00:57:17 Yeah.
00:57:18 It's nice here.
00:57:19 Yeah.
00:57:19 We, we spend
00:57:20 too much money for our property and our police will push you to the Yeah.
00:57:23 To the lesser areas is pretty much how that works.
00:57:26 I mean they've done that in major cities where they've had I think I think it was
00:57:29 maybe New York where they pretty much like they'll even
00:57:33 I think I remember this right, but they'll even potentially
00:57:35 pay homeless people to like get the fuck off the street for,
00:57:40 I dunno, parades or you know, the World Cup.
00:57:44 Yeah. Shit like that. Yeah.
00:57:46 Yeah. Events.
00:57:48 They don't want that stigma and so they
00:57:52 convinced them to go hide somewhere else off of Main streets.
00:57:55 But those events bring money that they can use to pay them off of this.
00:57:59 Ex payers don't want to pay that.
00:58:00 And then plus they're putting in somebody else's backyard.
00:58:06 What do they do?
00:58:07 They don't actually help them.
00:58:08 They just shuffle them.
00:58:11 Yeah.
00:58:12 One time I was doing a job in
00:58:15 Nashville area and I tied onto the weekend
00:58:20 with my girlfriend, flew out and we spent the weekend in Nashville
00:58:23 and we were walking by and there was a homeless man that was looking.
00:58:28 He was laying down and where a business was, it was a bunch of shit
00:58:32 right off the streets, that type of style,
00:58:35 you know, downtown type area.
00:58:38 And there was a business that was closed and he was kind of laying
00:58:41 in their little vestibule, cut in a little area, and he had his hand
00:58:46 down his pants and he was very much manipulating it hardcore
00:58:52 looking, looking at a group of checks
00:58:54 that were had just walked by in front of him.
00:58:57 And I made a comment, but it's like I was going to stop them.
00:59:02 I was like, Oh, that's good.
00:59:04 It's happening on the busses.
00:59:05 And so it's too, but it's just yeah, yeah.
00:59:08 No, it's there is a particular video that it's years old, but there was a guy who
00:59:15 was masturbating on a bus, so it's a very healthy video,
00:59:18 but he actually the chick next to him, she's got like a British accent
00:59:23 and she's like trying to tell him she's like, What are you doing?
00:59:25 She's like, Why are you playing with yourself?
00:59:27 And he's like, In a different fucking world.
00:59:29 And then once he's nuts, he's
00:59:31 he comes back to and he's like, What are you talking about?
00:59:33 Oh, if it bothered you, why didn't you say something?
00:59:35 It's a very I don't know what the video is called, but it's, it's pretty funny. But
00:59:40 dude is working on a bus.
00:59:43 Oh, nice.
00:59:48 You guys can see my screen, right?
00:59:51 Yes, I can.
00:59:53 I can.
00:59:54 Every time I do something, you get real quiet.
00:59:58 Yeah. Oh, yeah.
01:00:00 Get to share the space.
01:00:01 But if nobody's talking, somebody has got to talk.
01:00:05 Okay, fine.
01:00:06 This is the first mortgage
01:00:07 I've ever held that doesn't qualify as low income housing.
01:00:11 But since I've moved in here, I realize that instead of being
01:00:14 the richest person in a poor neighborhood, now I'm the riff raff.
01:00:18 It's kind of strange,
01:00:21 but my situation is strange because I technically live in
01:00:26 what is considered a 55 and over living facility.
01:00:31 But Technically, they cannot discriminate against.
01:00:34 They can't be just
01:00:36 and I'm told this because you're right.
01:00:38 My my cousin's my godmother's
01:00:42 grandson, who is my mom's
01:00:47 second cousin, who is also
01:00:49 the godmother of his mother who married
01:00:54 they had construction, married
01:00:56 a dude who's in the building and they've got some money.
01:01:00 And so they own these apartment complexes.
01:01:02 And so I'm able to get a good deal on a two bedroom apartment.
01:01:06 And I live by myself, which is this is my office.
01:01:08 But I think I'd still
01:01:11 rather be in a in a housing unit
01:01:14 I don't like I've never been a fan of paying rent, being a
01:01:19 no no.
01:01:21 Would you rather it's going to nothing?
01:01:23 But yeah, it's through. I do. I get a good discount.
01:01:25 I get a good discount on my rent.
01:01:27 So this works out.
01:01:28 Given somebody else is I guess.
01:01:30 Plus I'm right next to Stoney Creek. So
01:01:34 when you go that is.
01:01:35 Oh, that's it's it's
01:01:38 when when Gary taxes the disc golf group saying that it's nine whatever I am
01:01:42 and I'm driving past so and it's whatever when I'm right I'm right next to Stoney
01:01:47 I get yeah they're right now with some flashlights and play disc golf
01:01:51 if you have the all your pain doesn't that mean you can go 24 seven
01:01:54 they they close no but I don't understand how that works with camping.
01:01:58 You can't drive in, but you're going to walk in to say your camp. Bob.
01:02:01 Yeah.
01:02:01 That once you're in their campsite and they close,
01:02:05 you're stuck at that campsite.
01:02:08 Yeah. Yeah, because they closed the gate.
01:02:10 Was there a campsite at the, at the golf course
01:02:14 or. No, it's the very next parking lot. So.
01:02:17 So you can actually walk. Yeah.
01:02:19 It's fine without once you guys.
01:02:21 So this.
01:02:24 I haven't.
01:02:25 Well you know there's plenty of daylight Sounds fun but Yeah exactly now
01:02:30 but one time I did leaving Stoney Creek a long time ago, I ran out of gas,
01:02:36 and so I.
01:02:37 We had my buddy pick us up, and when he dropped us off,
01:02:41 they had already closed the gate.
01:02:43 So we walked with the gas cans back to my truck.
01:02:47 Police rolled by, so we ran into the woods really quick,
01:02:50 waited for them to leave, and then we ran back, fill my tank with
01:02:53 gas, tried to leave and the gate was there.
01:02:56 So we're literally
01:02:57 they're like trying to take apart because it was just the wooden posts
01:03:01 with the holes in it and the wood just kind of slots in one and then slots over.
01:03:05 So you can just unlock the wood, take it apart, drive around the grass,
01:03:10 put it back. And that's what we were trying to do.
01:03:11 And then the police rolled up on us as we were doing that
01:03:14 there's another drunk and high and had weed on us and
01:03:17 we just told them exactly what happened.
01:03:20 We were like, Hey, I ran out of gas and like
01:03:22 I didn't know how to get out and I didn't know who to call.
01:03:24 They got the place is closed and it's like and he's like, Well,
01:03:27 repair that fence and just get the hell out of here.
01:03:30 And so no big deal.
01:03:33 It was a good deal. Yeah,
01:03:35 Good times.
01:03:36 Good times of the disc golf course.
01:03:38 Bootstraps somehow. Here's a homeless.
01:03:41 They gave an opportunity.
01:03:43 Let's check out white privilege.
01:03:46 Yep, check it out.
01:03:53 I have enjoyed white privilege, but I don't consider that a leg up.
01:03:57 Or maybe I should.
01:03:58 I don't consider white privilege as a thing at all. But
01:04:03 my privilege I have to people
01:04:07 of all sorts of privilege
01:04:10 that earned or unearned LeBron James.
01:04:13 Look at all these
01:04:14 these athletes that get instant privilege just because they're athletic.
01:04:18 And guess what?
01:04:18 Black people are more athletic as they have more fast twitch
01:04:21 muscle fibers.
01:04:25 Wow. Thanks for that.
01:04:29 Oh, yeah.
01:04:30 Is there audio that accompanies this or. No.
01:04:32 No. The read the thing I know I don't like to.
01:04:35 Yeah yeah there's audio you might you guys might not be able to here but

01:05:07 Do you, Man, as long as my taco made.
01:05:10 Right, You know, 20 minutes at Taco Bell.
01:05:13 I mean, the food doesn't even stay
01:05:16 in my stomach that long, right?
01:05:19 Actually, I don't understand that.
01:05:20 I've never eaten Taco Bell and had a running
01:05:23 or if you defecating
01:05:27 zero.
01:05:27 I don't know where that comes from, but I don't use any of the resources or
01:05:31 the resources
01:05:33 that always.
01:05:34 What are we supposed to do? Taco Bell.
01:05:36 Good idea for
01:05:40 like I'm a big fan of the horses, but no, whatever.
01:05:44 Isn't that just horse ready whether taco horses are stupid
01:05:48 because it's cuter or are they vegetables, veggies?
01:05:52 I don't like the way you like the way
01:05:54 horsey sauce
01:06:01 bootstraps.
01:06:03 This behavior
01:06:07 from my baby Yoda.
01:06:09 There.
01:06:12 You're baby Yoda.
01:06:13 It's so good. Matt.
01:06:16 We're hearing Mount Rushmore of bootstraps Go
01:06:20 Mount Rushmore of bootstrap stories.
01:06:27 Does it count?
01:06:28 Like if you turn from a drug dealer into a rapper, does that count?
01:06:34 Oh, I had that set of boots is I can say no rapping or no,
01:06:37 that's kind of a shortcut in it, but it involves a certain.
01:06:40 Oh, it's a different kind of yeah, it's
01:06:43 like working to pass off, but I like it.
01:06:46 Which one of your Stoney Productions would be your theme song?
01:06:50 Oh, well, the one that has homeless people in it,
01:06:53 which is more of an easy door song, but I prefer one in which one
01:07:02 was, Oh, yeah, let's play one.
01:07:05 I don't know if you got one about homeless look.
01:07:08 No, it's not about Yeah, there is deposit.
01:07:12 It's about money.
01:07:13 Yeah, that's got huge money on it.
01:07:16 And nice and right.
01:07:19 Yes I'm on it.
01:07:21 I Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:07:21 And part of purposeful resources which is something legit is.
01:07:28 Yes. Let what I actually laid
01:07:30 out on which one of my looking for deposit.
01:07:33 It's it's probably
01:07:36 it's it's it's all the green shit keep going because that's easy draw
01:07:40 because we transition after a certain point because it isn't as that.
01:07:44 Yeah. The smoke sessions.
01:07:46 Yeah.
01:07:46 It's like right around the or.
01:07:50 Oh I hate when that tells you to do that age restricted.
01:07:54 Oh no that's fine.
01:07:56 Confirm that we're old enough.
01:07:58 I think we're old. I well, I just don't want to do that.
01:08:03 Oh. Show my hairline.
01:08:07 Shows your password
01:08:10 that.
01:08:12 Just show that little eyeball that's next to the bastard that shows that.
01:08:17 Why are you hugging a fucking baby Yoda like you're a old.
01:08:21 How bad is this?
01:08:22 There's no a secondary warning.
01:08:24 Oh, no.
01:08:26 Which one did you choose?
01:08:28 Deposit. Deposit.
01:08:30 Which I can figure.
01:08:31 I don't know.
01:08:32 Maybe because maybe the in order to send
01:08:35 this video may be inappropriate to some users.
01:08:39 I understand.
01:08:39 I don't know why it's that hardcore.
01:08:41 Unless somebody just decided to have a big hoopla over it.
01:08:46 I mean, we had a song, Hot Dog Buns Rave, which technically had a million
01:08:49 and a half views, but it was attributed to the title of the song,
01:08:55 not necessarily the quality of the song you guys for.
01:08:59 I can't hear it, but it's playing this economy.
01:09:02 I'm going to you know, but there's an echo administration is not going to
01:09:05 want to mute us in our efforts to help people who are looking to a job.
01:09:09 We will not rest until this well as shut the environment is repaired
01:09:13 and the cleanup is complete.
01:09:14 My administration will not rest until every American
01:09:19 who is able and ready and willing to work can find a job.
01:09:24 Never a positive without a check.
01:09:26 Positive that stays in my life. Godspeed.
01:09:29 You can put a price in.
01:09:30 If I see a billionaire paying as nice as the president,
01:09:33 I sit around and watch sports complain about the politics of the three years
01:09:37 and let this fucking bullshit as it, you know, looking behind the door.
01:09:40 That was a dirty for Tommy is the wall to no door.
01:09:43 I'm just trying to come inside of it.
01:09:45 You can't comprehend that the fourth discussion in Violet
01:09:49 turned violent like violet while a violet
01:09:52 with a violet brain is pedaling the drugs like cycling.
01:09:56 The first and I didn't back when I tried to sign this
01:10:00 and put it back thinking, Oh, that's for fucking interest Back to Bill.
01:10:05 Never been told that that's my money starts running.
01:10:08 Fund government will never keep those tickets.
01:10:10 Yes, I fixed
01:10:13 on account staff.
01:10:15 No amount of handouts.
01:10:18 No bank
01:10:19 account for my staff, no
01:10:23 staff.
01:10:24 No, no,
01:10:26 no, no.
01:10:28 I have no bank
01:10:31 account staff. No,
01:10:34 I've just deposits
01:10:45 in bank.
01:10:46 Draw the burden at the bank of the desk.
01:10:48 But what about without the government
01:10:52 fucked up shit with overdraft?
01:10:55 I'm checking it with my CV and my statement does make no sense.
01:11:00 But the withdrawal I need to make a deposit
01:11:03 and I got to wonder why I don't quit.
01:11:06 And yeah, the book. Fine.
01:11:07 But they don't pay shit.
01:11:10 I'm the one with comedy denominator, the hot dog practice.
01:11:14 I'm positive my bank account to the negative.
01:11:17 Something's got to give in affirmative action.
01:11:21 And this big picture, I'm changing my name again.
01:11:24 So on this phone call is making me laugh.
01:11:29 Fuck your bad.
01:11:32 So back
01:11:33 on account,
01:11:35 no amount
01:11:37 has no bank

01:11:43 I have no background.
01:11:46 My staff.
01:11:47 No, I have no,
01:11:52 no deposits.
01:12:05 We're on top of this.
01:12:06 We're just the opposite. We're top secret operative.
01:12:08 Not a lot of top of state gas bomber.
01:12:11 Drop that bottle.
01:12:13 Jackpot deposit would put it in here.
01:12:15 That's scary, because I'd like to vomit on breaking news.
01:12:20 Try out every orifice more of more preposterous.
01:12:24 For example, you for balance sample my ample expandable balance
01:12:29 band of by to handle the towels in her mandible Palin
01:12:32 leave you in shambles and handle this challenge

01:13:22 Just pull that slot lever.
01:13:23 If I hand for 100 G's.
01:13:24 Nigga, please stop the 80 G's in the empty.
01:13:28 That's why I live on the beach for the crying niggers.
01:13:30 Dan Brown We IRS will never get a hold of me so never have to.
01:13:35 You got to fill in points just as we say.
01:13:37 Never nothin.
01:13:38 Rock Bottom line, give us something.
01:13:40 Obama's black ass can't stop Fun, nigger.
01:13:43 Lott said he'd change everything from my bank account.
01:13:46 The person I put a deposit in today, three fourths gone
01:13:50 same day, paying money to government so niggers can have more kids.
01:13:54 A lot of shit a fucking bond have to deal with.
01:13:56 I want to go David Koresh on the ass
01:14:02 dude shows
01:14:05 my that here you're dummies
01:14:08 because I laugh at you.
01:14:10 Oh he muted everyone on the street
01:14:11 where we can still hear each other in a soccer channel.
01:14:15 I can't hear Brady like your hands, dumb ass.
01:14:18 Oh, there you are.
01:14:19 Account over.
01:14:22 Well, you may have heard of me.
01:14:24 I'm flat out.
01:14:26 No wonder it didn't ask me to put a name.
01:14:30 And I always like to put a dumb unique name in.
01:14:33 But it didn't ask me what is what do you what does your.
01:14:36 I have no idea.
01:14:38 I retype flags every time.
01:14:40 Is it always, always is.
01:14:41 Gary is going to draw straps.
01:14:46 I like George best.
01:14:49 Yeah.
01:14:49 Instead of having like pull
01:14:51 how many different strategies.
01:14:52 I love the word knobs, but.
01:14:54 But you had pull straps on your drawers.
01:14:57 That'd be cool too, right?
01:14:59 I got pulled.
01:15:01 Pull your drawers.
01:15:02 I got pulled.
01:15:03 Granddaughters.
01:15:07 So it is interesting like
01:15:09 this.
01:15:09 That video was it was the the effigy for the video.
01:15:13 I would just pick random stuff
01:15:15 and see a lot of people's videos because I'd rather have a video than not.
01:15:19 No video.
01:15:21 And that actually helped with.
01:15:23 Right?
01:15:23 Actually views, to be honest. But
01:15:27 honestly, where we're sitting currently versus
01:15:29 where we were sitting there, I would take Obama any day over Mr.
01:15:33 Biden.
01:15:34 But the really the criticisms of Biden, and I'm a big fan of Jay-Z,
01:15:39 always have been, even though he's a Democratic supporter.
01:15:45 Obama really was very bland,
01:15:47 vanilla, and Jay-Z mentioned
01:15:50 that the reason that kind of was because if Obama went in there
01:15:55 and represented poorly, people would potentially
01:15:59 look at the first black president as like being like the worst thing ever.
01:16:03 So he tried to go in there and really
01:16:07 stir the pot in one way or another too much.
01:16:11 And that's kind of what he did.
01:16:13 You know,
01:16:16 I like to not make waves.
01:16:18 Yeah, I love to make waves, but
01:16:21 it's got to be the right time in the right place.
01:16:24 Sometimes I sit back and, man, I love to just I love to just say what's on my mind.
01:16:29 But sometimes you just got to sit there and say it in your head
01:16:33 and just kind of chuckle and sit back from the questions
01:16:38 saying, What's on my mind gets me in so much trouble.
01:16:42 Yeah, no.
01:16:43 And I think that's where I think you and
01:16:46 I are similar, but different because sometimes
01:16:49 we will we've got different things that I think we will vocally
01:16:55 out loud and have a strange opinion.
01:16:58 But we love representing our opinion and
01:17:02 saying it aloud.
01:17:04 Yeah, we don't always have the same opinions, but we do like saying them,
01:17:09 especially when they don't agree with people around us.
01:17:13 We like to challenge other people's thoughts.
01:17:15 Yeah, I love it.
01:17:17 A popular opinion just for fun.
01:17:20 Devil's Advocate is a fun game.
01:17:22 I like to play, right? Yeah.
01:17:24 I don't even have to hold the view for it out.
01:17:28 I'll do it most of the time, but I can't.
01:17:32 I can't that with everything I would say.
01:17:37 Believe
01:17:40 me, we are one of you can play Devil's Spit.
01:17:44 Gary's our military.
01:17:45 BLEEP, bleep, bleep. Okay.
01:17:47 Uh, robredo Barn, you got enough.
01:17:52 You got good service out there. And
01:17:55 in a bar.
01:17:56 This is a poll bar to figure out where do you keep the children?
01:18:02 The fun thing is, like, I've got.
01:18:04 I've got a garage, I've got another garage.
01:18:07 And then this is the third garage.
01:18:10 The garage inside your garage.
01:18:15 Now, this is a garage outside of my garage,
01:18:18 which I have outside of my other garage.
01:18:22 That sounds wasteful.
01:18:26 So fishing, I love that back there.
01:18:27 It's fishing.
01:18:30 So that's a hard thing to have a long rant on.
01:18:32 But I would say fishing in consideration of bootstrap mentality is like you,
01:18:37 you it's one of the easiest ways to acquire food.
01:18:42 And if the world goes to shit,
01:18:45 that is my main source of food because I'm not much of a fucking hunter,
01:18:51 but god damn is catching fish and wild aquatic wildlife.
01:18:56 Very easy living deja vu.
01:18:59 I think we had fishing before.
01:19:01 Fishing is okay as long as you're fishing to eat it.
01:19:03 The fishing for a game is kind of sad,
01:19:08 actually.
01:19:08 For the fish.
01:19:10 Well, yeah, they get a hook in their mouth and yeah,
01:19:12 they get worn out of their face, you know?
01:19:15 Yeah, you guys mentioned that before, but business, you don't have
01:19:20 nerves, fish don't have nerve endings, so they can't feel anything.
01:19:23 So yeah.
01:19:24 If they that's why they're never more they would never get caught twice.
01:19:27 Right.
01:19:29 Like oh I've never tried
01:19:31 that hook feeling.
01:19:33 I've been hooked.
01:19:34 Have you ever been hooked Accidentally.
01:19:37 Yeah. Rabbit hole.
01:19:38 Yeah.
01:19:38 That's that paid and behind somebody on a cast.
01:19:42 And not only did it hook in me Oh no freakin where it.
01:19:46 Oh oh,
01:19:49 no it hurts more on the way out when you have to get that, that barb out.
01:19:53 Yeah it's the back passage that prevents it from sliding off.
01:20:00 Yeah, you got it is a
01:20:03 brilliant piece of architecture, but it is.
01:20:07 It works, But it sucks when you don't want it to work.
01:20:12 Yeah,
01:20:16 You better off keeping a pair of, like, some side cutters.
01:20:18 It just like if it gets caught somewhere deep,
01:20:21 maybe you just cut it and then pass it the rest of the way through
01:20:24 from the other side.
01:20:25 But it's not rocket science
01:20:31 rocket.
01:20:32 So you go first. Go.
01:20:34 Okay.
01:20:34 We don't, we don't actually need jet propulsion
01:20:38 we can use some of the the
01:20:43 propellers
01:20:46 those technologies
01:20:48 that I've mentioned owned by Lockheed Martin that we've reverse
01:20:51 engineered from alien spacecraft that Have you mentioned Lockheed?
01:20:56 Because I was actually at Lockheed Martin about less than a month ago
01:21:00 for Fort Bragg, which is now Fort Liberty, had a job
01:21:04 or they have one of our products, and I was training them on it.
01:21:07 And I actually have to go back there
01:21:08 because there were some issues that we needed to resolve.
01:21:14 I didn't see anything.
01:21:15 The coolest thing was that there was a little bit
01:21:18 you could hear the the testing areas, the bombs going off and shit occasionally
01:21:23 and planes flying really low infiltrate the military industrial complex.
01:21:27 Does Brady have a rant on that last topic?
01:21:30 Because that is a hard topic to read into rocket science.
01:21:33 Yeah,
01:21:35 about Project Paperclip when we took all the Nazis
01:21:39 so that they didn't go to the our enemies and we're still using
01:21:43 most of their Hitler technology today.
01:21:48 Elon Musk,
01:21:49 the reason they called it Operation Paperclip is
01:21:53 was they had the papers
01:21:56 that these scientists, they put a paperclip on it
01:21:59 so that they would know like, I don't know,
01:22:02 like this isn't a brilliant like dog here mark the sheep.
01:22:06 But they, they actually put a paperclip on the,
01:22:09 the forums for the Nazi scientist.
01:22:13 So to let people know that that that was
01:22:15 what that was, that's why they called it operation paper.
01:22:18 But people
01:22:20 like wasn't there a paperclip as opposed to a staple
01:22:23 more than two pieces of paper or just loose leaf papers.
01:22:26 They put a paperclip out.
01:22:27 That's really why it was called Operation Paperclip.
01:22:31 But how much how much credence do
01:22:33 you guys give to the whole like Hitler tied to alien technology
01:22:38 and the the wonder of of the weapon
01:22:42 and shit like that?
01:22:45 It's interesting, but I mean, I don't know
01:22:47 how far Hitler's Hitler died a long time ago, so
01:22:52 I don't know.
01:22:53 I think the apex was the 1940.
01:22:56 So that was, that was right.
01:22:58 Then the Antarctica like, why were they
01:23:02 what were they doing in Antarctica?
01:23:06 Well then why aren't they in Erika anymore?
01:23:10 They are
01:23:13 the we are the, the seventh country in the firmament
01:23:20 past Flat Earth or.
01:23:23 Wow. Those weapons
01:23:26 have been used to burn Hawaii recently.
01:23:30 Not the conspiracy.
01:23:31 Yeah, that's just kind of crazy.
01:23:32 Lasers may have started the fires, but that happens any time there's
01:23:37 so there was zero volcanic activity that was involved with this or what?
01:23:42 I haven't I have no idea.
01:23:44 I assume like Hawaii Fire, I'm assuming it's volcanic activity of some sort.
01:23:49 It is a Catholic island.
01:23:51 The entire island is made out of volcano like it
01:23:58 it itself is a volcano.
01:24:00 That is a volcano
01:24:04 archipelago.
01:24:05 It seems more likely there'd be fires on a volcano.
01:24:10 And that's why it's like if you live in a place in the world
01:24:13 like that, like we were just talking about this,
01:24:18 like below sea level, you need a levee to keep water
01:24:23 going over your head at any given time.
01:24:24 It's probably not a good place to live if you ever dig.
01:24:27 Dug a hole in Louisiana
01:24:30 in there and you have to live there.
01:24:33 Right.
01:24:33 But I would move if I had a choice.
01:24:36 Yep. I move to an area that's somewhat
01:24:40 flat with wildlife,
01:24:44 a lot of fresh water.
01:24:48 You know, you can't you can't pick the greatest place.
01:24:51 But usually, you know, sometimes that involves a winner or two.
01:24:55 But I think I would pick somewhere
01:24:59 in the Midwestern area, in my opinion.
01:25:02 So I like where I am.
01:25:05 The know rose every once in a while, but barely
01:25:08 no earthquakes, no volcanoes that we know of
01:25:12 that popped out yet.
01:25:15 Did you have plenty of wildlife?
01:25:17 Well, Brady's been to the compound draw.
01:25:20 You need to get out here.
01:25:21 This is incredible. This is a compound. It
01:25:26 You should have a birthday party.
01:25:27 He's two miles away. Has he been there?
01:25:30 He is. He's riding a bike.
01:25:33 He just took a mini bike here and he's jogged here.
01:25:37 Plus, he's driven,
01:25:37 make a statement, Listen to people that never went to your place.
01:25:40 It was me and somebody else.
01:25:41 I thought it was easy.
01:25:42 Unless it was Joe,
01:25:44 Doug?
01:25:45 Oh, yeah.
01:25:47 I don't know.
01:25:48 You and Joe.
01:25:48 Come here.
01:25:51 No, no.
01:25:52 This is the destination.
01:25:54 That's where you live from.
01:25:55 This is where you go to, is it?
01:25:59 Wait, That's
01:26:02 Whose porch is that?
01:26:04 You know you can't see the porch. It
01:26:08 what's happening back there?
01:26:09 Instead of random number of news, we're just going to have awesome, sick,
01:26:12 insane news. This is not. Okay, Good.
01:26:16 Okay.
01:26:17 Tell me I don't know the town in Pennsylvania, but
01:26:20 and they don't know the reason why I'm headed to Pennsylvania next week.
01:26:25 All right.
01:26:26 If you look at the house right here.
01:26:31 Yeah, I can see it
01:26:33 and see it. Now,
01:26:35 this is, I think, five people died.
01:26:37 So this meth lab?
01:26:40 No, not suspected.
01:26:42 No gas leaks.
01:26:43 They don't know why at this point.
01:26:46 All right, Ready?
01:26:47 We put a false
01:26:56 bottom.
01:27:03 Oh, sorry.
01:27:04 I looked away for a second.
01:27:05 What is this shit coming off of the house it's filming from?
01:27:08 Because it's that chocolate shockwave that big.
01:27:10 Yeah. The piece lands right in this yard.
01:27:13 Right?
01:27:14 I'm going up right there.
01:27:16 Like the second the thing goes off the door is like, moving and shit.
01:27:19 So the sonic boom or whatever the fuck you want to call it
01:27:24 is enough to
01:27:27 shake all that shit because.
01:27:28 Yeah, because even the camera, even the camera shakes.
01:27:32 Meth Lab aftermath.
01:27:33 They don't think it's like meth lab.
01:27:37 This is the house itself.
01:27:38 And both meth lab and either gas lab.
01:27:41 Three house is total, like burned to the ground
01:27:44 there.
01:27:46 Whoa.
01:27:50 We should have, like, a flat
01:27:51 dramatic news, too.
01:27:55 You think it's too late for that?
01:27:59 This just in.
01:28:01 A former Arkansas star running back
01:28:04 Alex Collins, he also played for he was drafted by the Seahawks
01:28:08 in Baltimore and ended up playing for the Baltimore Ravens
01:28:12 dies at age 28 in a motor cycle crash
01:28:17 that just happened.
01:28:18 Oh, helmet, helmet or no helmet?
01:28:21 Let's see.
01:28:23 I don't know. So
01:28:25 helmet laws.
01:28:28 What straps?
01:28:29 Helmet straps.
01:28:31 Yeah, helmet straps.
01:28:32 Well, don't kid yourself. Your helmet trip.
01:28:35 I don't care.
01:28:36 So I will wear my seatbelt every time I drive a car.
01:28:39 I think if you're riding a motorcycle, you should probably be wearing a helmet.
01:28:44 But I don't give a fuck what you do, right?
01:28:46 I mean, but I also go with the argument of they.
01:28:51 They said that legally you can ride a motorcycle without a helmet now,
01:28:55 so why can't you run a car without a seatbelt on
01:29:00 those.
01:29:00 That doesn't make those two guys don't make sense together.
01:29:03 It is the equivalent.
01:29:05 So you either keep both and you get rid of both.
01:29:07 But I say I don't think man, should we have
01:29:11 a proponent has the right to tell me I have to wear any safety equipment.
01:29:16 I wear survival of the fittest or belt.
01:29:19 Before I had to
01:29:22 actually have a seatbelt in this chair.
01:29:25 I have a seatbelt my just in case I ran into a tree.
01:29:30 I it was ice.
01:29:32 I avoided colliding into a group of cars and ran into a tree
01:29:38 at about 40 miles an hour, had my seatbelt on
01:29:41 and was perfectly fine.
01:29:45 But who's
01:29:46 been rear ended
01:29:49 by a F-350 pulling two snowmobiles in my buddy's car?
01:29:53 My body was not wearing his seatbelt
01:29:59 and even though we were rear
01:30:00 ended, that was the best case scenario when not wearing your seatbelt.
01:30:03 But his head still smacked the frickin side thing.
01:30:07 He had a cut, his eyebrow.
01:30:11 Yeah, Good times.
01:30:13 We were all good
01:30:15 cars were totaled in.
01:30:16 Both cars were total in both instances,
01:30:20 and those were only
01:30:21 two of the three totals that I have been in personally. So
01:30:28 I can't read that under bootstraps motherfucker.
01:30:31 Bootstraps.
01:30:32 Did you know the Monopoly
01:30:35 game was derived from the lands Landlord's game?
01:30:38 It was a way to demonstrate that an economy rewards individuals
01:30:43 rather than monopolies.
01:30:47 But somehow over the years it got reversed to
01:30:50 celebrate monopoly
01:30:53 or domination.
01:30:54 But you, when a monopoly
01:30:58 Yeah, total domination is it.
01:31:01 It's what's inspired innovation but also ruins it at the same time
01:31:05 because when you have one conglomerate that owns everything, it's terrible.
01:31:09 But when you have a conglomerate that can take ideas
01:31:12 from a smaller market and bring it to a mass, it's a great thing.
01:31:15 So it's it's cool that companies like Amazon exist, but it's also really shitty.
01:31:21 We always hate the great isn't by definition
01:31:25 those monopoly people that bootstrapped
01:31:28 to the max like they won.
01:31:30 They bootstrapped.
01:31:31 Oh, they lifted themselves up as high as they can go.
01:31:35 But somehow when we get that high, we hate it.
01:31:38 But no, they don't.
01:31:39 They don't have a the concept of high is a you know, they just
01:31:44 the concept and they just want to keep going is only keep going up.
01:31:49 There's never been anybody better at capitalism than Steve Bezos.
01:31:53 Capitalism is great, but I feel like in my opinion,
01:31:57 when you are able to afford,
01:32:00 you know, $100 million yachts on top of your like
01:32:04 like $700 million home, I don't know,
01:32:09 maybe your salary should be capped at some point, but I don't know.
01:32:12 But if
01:32:14 innovation, innovation, we wouldn't have the billionaires
01:32:18 usually own three jets and one yacht.
01:32:21 I don't know why three jets are one yet.
01:32:24 I would think if you only need one jet first of all but yachts,
01:32:29 you can put one in every tropical harbor that you might visit.
01:32:33 It would make more sense to have three yards and one jet
01:32:37 because one jet could get you to all three yachts.
01:32:40 But would they do it the other way around?
01:32:42 The one thing I did want to mention during all of this
01:32:46 was it's interesting to me that if you kill a man, you're a murderer.
01:32:51 If you kill a few, you're
01:32:55 a serial killer.
01:32:57 If you kill a dozen men, you're a mass
01:33:01 murderer, you kill 100 men, you're a war hero.
01:33:05 And if you kill a thousand men, you're a conquered you're dead.
01:33:13 And if you kill a murderer, you're a man.
01:33:17 We're losing you again.
01:33:19 Deliberately. Blankety blank. Yeah.
01:33:21 What are you going to move all the way up to the country
01:33:24 and in person, and then you turn.
01:33:26 Time is easy.
01:33:29 Tell a little bit more
01:33:31 power.
01:33:32 Just hit the civilians
01:33:34 that we're almost out of
01:33:37 time.
01:33:38 I love as above.
01:33:40 So below what
01:33:44 you have to give.
01:33:45 Thank you, guys. I really appreciate this.
01:33:48 We bootstrapped our way to say an 11 or 12 pledge.
01:33:53 It was a lot. There's a formula.
01:33:56 There's the other closing.
01:33:57 Is there a dance? I'm supposed perform a dance.
01:34:00 You should do a class. Okay. Okay.
01:34:03 There's a closing.
01:34:03 What's the word of the day, Gary? We got to.
01:34:05 We got to do a class, okay?
01:34:07 Oh, yeah, but we don't have the game.
01:34:09 I want to play the game.
01:34:11 Yeah, the game is the game.
01:34:12 Clash Royale, ballet.
01:34:13 Play the game. Rock, paper, scissors. I could see.
01:34:16 I can see Brady talking,
01:34:19 but I can't hear Brady talking.
01:34:21 Why not?
01:34:23 Oh, there it is.
01:34:25 That's what it sounds like.
01:34:27 Rocky. Paper, Scissors.
01:34:28 Yeah, you rock, paper, scissors.
01:34:31 That's brilliant.
01:34:36 What's the delay?
01:34:39 Keep it out.
01:34:40 All right. Not there for a while, unless you want to.
01:34:42 I think we should clash.
01:34:43 Real friendly battle,
01:34:47 even if it cuts your phone.
01:34:48 All right.
01:34:48 I can certainly battle,
01:34:52 but way easier.
01:34:56 All right, Brianna. So
01:34:58 you don't have to do it.
01:35:00 Can you make it go get Gary?
01:35:01 You don't have a wrap up of a conclusion on your overall hypothesis
01:35:05 of the bootstrap narrative.
01:35:10 Don't wait for your ship to come in.
01:35:12 Make your own success.
01:35:17 We're not battling and waiting for you.
01:35:21 Oh, there we go.
01:35:23 Next time I can
01:35:26 have you ready.
01:35:28 I didn't hold it up.
01:35:30 Yeah This is this is the worst podcast.
01:35:39 So possibly
01:35:42 ever.
01:35:44 Play David. The best.
01:35:46 What are you up until this moment?
01:35:48 Oh, your arrows could me Oh,
01:35:53 you prostitute.
01:35:57 You can make me try
01:35:59 Shout out to a battle royale.
01:36:01 Peterson would watch and he just he just took out
01:36:04 my God dang tower
01:36:07 You were already dominate
01:36:09 the search segment of our podcast.
01:36:13 Well, I don't have a single point of you,
01:36:16 you twit.
01:36:17 I'll give you some.
01:36:19 I want to have to resort to name calling.
01:36:27 That's a very dominating performance.
01:36:30 I'm going to have to kick your ass now.
01:36:33 So I got I got a few points.
01:36:37 Wow, that was harsh.
01:36:40 I was wondering how you kept up with me.
01:36:42 All these. We should.
01:36:43 I don't think we deserve to resume.
01:36:45 You want to do two out of three?
01:36:46 No, no.
01:36:48 That was the most boring part of the podcast.
01:36:52 It was the worst.
01:36:55 I really wanted to bootstrap for you guys.
01:36:58 I'm doing it.
01:36:59 And what about the bigger,
01:37:02 terrible.
01:37:06 So that's not a
01:37:10 not to pry into anything
01:37:12 because I don't really give a shit, nor do I like asking personal questions.
01:37:15 But transition of jobs.
01:37:18 Your reasoning for doing so would be what
01:37:23 I move to.
01:37:24 Armada. Yeah.
01:37:25 I understand that you and Snap and I work at Armada.
01:37:30 Does that change? No, they don't
01:37:32 position.
01:37:33 Apple doesn't sell well enough anywhere.
01:37:36 If I don't work in metro Detroit,
01:37:39 there's not enough people in 1700 people in our made up.
01:37:43 So you have to live within a certain bounds of what you're servicing
01:37:47 or what
01:37:50 I owe.
01:37:51 Or is this Earth Hour gas, Money Time
01:37:57 globally
01:38:00 are you kicking them to the curb
01:38:01 or are they taking you to the curb.
01:38:06 I'll come back anytime.
01:38:08 I was
01:38:12 in Bruges,
01:38:14 they welcomed me back with open arms.
01:38:16 I'm not going back.
01:38:19 I'm taking I took a huge
01:38:21 pay cut to see capital.
01:38:25 I don't want to waste it.
01:38:26 It's a simpler life.
01:38:32 Yeah.
01:38:32 I want to bootstrap my way to happiness
01:38:37 since you already bootstrap your way to your snap.
01:38:40 I've conquered everything.
01:38:43 Now I want to bootstrap
01:38:45 a new existence while it's perfect timing.
01:38:49 You disappeared right when you said that
01:38:54 disappearing bootstrap paradox.
01:38:57 My phone's about to actually disappear.
01:39:00 Shut up.
01:39:00 Yeah.
01:39:00 In time travel, which one event causes a
01:39:05 which is actually because of the first.
01:39:09 Right. Well, let me wrap my head around.
01:39:10 I keep that on the screen.
01:39:11 Holman released it.
01:39:20 So instead, like, I've heard you guys talk about time travel
01:39:23 and day when something crashes like that, it creates another timeline.
01:39:28 Yeah, no, there's a good video there.
01:39:31 Yeah, if I could pull.
01:39:33 I find it was great, but the dude kind of
01:39:37 was going over that time paradox where
01:39:39 if you have either a faster than time
01:39:44 traveling spaceship
01:39:47 or even a faster than time traveling messaging system
01:39:52 or even a at speed of light versus at that speed
01:39:56 of light
01:39:59 spaceship and messaging transfer system that
01:40:04 there could be a situation
01:40:05 where a sonic boom happens, a planet
01:40:11 perceives this sonic boom
01:40:15 message is a planet
01:40:17 further away from it, so warn them of it.
01:40:20 But then there's also a spaceship taking off from point to point B that also
01:40:26 I'm doing it such a disservice.
01:40:28 But it is a very interesting video,
01:40:29 but I'm actually going to try to find the right now.
01:40:31 But I believe that or if you're going the speed limit
01:40:34 and there could be a time paradox that sorry is
01:40:39 baby time paradox or the message gets there before the event even happens,
01:40:44 or the message gets there before the people even send the
01:40:47 message in the first place.
01:40:49 But go ahead.
01:40:51 I'm going to shut up.
01:40:51 No, that's quite a paradox.
01:40:54 Wonderful. I'm going to find that
01:40:57 is I said if you were traveling the speed of light
01:40:59 hypothetically, that's Steven, right? That
01:41:02 and you turn on your headlights.
01:41:03 What would happen?
01:41:06 Oh, yeah, I've heard that.
01:41:08 But if you were traveling the speed of light, your math becomes infinite.
01:41:14 Yes. See, the speed of light is always
01:41:17 something that.
01:41:17 Yeah, that's.
01:41:18 It's a good question because there's a light
01:41:19 go faster than the speed of light because you're going.
01:41:23 The light's going to travel plus the initial propulsion rate.
01:41:27 But I'm always intrigued by the fact that the Big Bang is
01:41:30 had traveled or the Big Bang potentially or not had traveled
01:41:35 faster than the speed of light
01:41:37 at some point, which is why we're able to look back in time and see
01:41:41 light from the past, because we had traveled
01:41:43 faster than that light, which is impossible.
01:41:47 But apparently it is possible.
01:41:49 So we don't know shit about, Oh, my phone's going to die in about 20 seconds.
01:41:53 So you kind of say one thing.
01:41:55 What's your light as above.
01:41:57 So below what? The word of the day.
01:42:03 That would be stoicism, I think.
01:42:07 The stoicism.
01:42:10 Bootstraps?
01:42:11 Yes, Stoicism.
01:42:14 This is going to die in five.
01:42:19 You should before tells you by second appearance.
01:42:23 If you know it's going to push, he's going to push the button and fake it.
01:42:27 If you find the link, I'm not going to pick it up.
01:42:30 I'm going to the video of the parent.
01:42:33 I put it in the description, oh oh,
01:42:37 yeah. I'm going to try to find the video.
01:42:38 This is where we can find time,
01:42:42 where you guys can talk about it next.
01:42:44 Yeah, I'll put a link, text it
01:42:48 because the drive to Pennsylvania
01:42:51 is like 6 hours and
01:42:55 I don't like leaving in early, so I'll probably be driving.
01:42:59 But okay.
01:43:02 By Gary as he says, as above.
01:43:04 So below right.
