- 0:58Speaker 1: drags it over in front of the door, and then
- 1:02Speaker 1: he puts a bunch of water bottles or like right
- 1:07Speaker 1: on the edge so if like if you touch it,
- 1:09Speaker 1: it's gonna fall off and make noise and wake him up.

- 1:34Speaker 1: and brings that to the shower and hangs it at
- 1:36Speaker 1: the top of the shower, takes a shower, and when
- 1:40Speaker 1: he's done, he takes it back in the cell and
- 1:42Speaker 1: then puts everything back in his spot when he comes.
- 1:46Speaker 1: When he comes out the cell for like breakfast, lunch,
- 1:49Speaker 1: or dinner to go get his tray, he locks his
- 1:52Speaker 1: door like he's one of the Like I don't even
- 1:55Speaker 1: do when I leave the pot. When I go outside
- 1:57Speaker 1: on the wreck yard for hours, I leave my door open.
- 2:01Speaker 1: I mean, I've got a padlock on my commissary door.

- 2:06Speaker 1: My fan is out. Like if you sell and take
- 2:08Speaker 1: something to mind, like when I come back in and

- 2:12Speaker 1: the inmates. Bro, Like, man who win Myself? Now you

- 2:24Speaker 1: You got my ship? Bros. You stole must You don't
- 2:27Speaker 1: tell me. Let's just get that crystal clear. So like
- 2:31Speaker 1: and I the dude he's jacked, brouh. Dude is like
- 2:34Speaker 1: six two two twenty, like he's freaking built, like I
- 2:38Speaker 1: wish I looked like that cat man, I don't be
- 2:42Speaker 1: like he is so stop dude. Literally, I said, you
- 2:45Speaker 1: remember that, uh, that little rat song thing you did
- 2:49Speaker 1: for me? The fear Like, dude, like I want to
- 2:52Speaker 1: like take pay man here, I think you should listen
- 2:54Speaker 1: to this.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Fear is something everyone deals with. I don't care how
- 3:09Speaker 3: tall you are, how much muscle you have, how fast
- 3:13Speaker 3: you are, how hard you hit, how hard you kick.
- 3:16Speaker 3: I don't care what military experience you have, what martial
- 3:20Speaker 3: arwn experience, martial arts experience, street fighting, prison fighting, None
- 3:26Speaker 3: of that stuff matters. Every single human being on the
- 3:30Speaker 3: base of this earth deals with fear, and they deal
- 3:36Speaker 3: with it in one or two ways. They either face
- 3:40Speaker 3: their fear, overcome it, or they run from their fear
- 3:45Speaker 3: and allow me to chase them around like some ugly
- 3:47Speaker 3: little monster and a children story. Those are literally the
- 3:50Speaker 3: only two ways you deal with fear. You overcome it
- 3:57Speaker 3: or you run from it. There is no way in between.
- 4:03Speaker 3: I've been in prison, but going on thirty one years now,
- 4:07Speaker 3: juvenile an adult, and I have dealt with fear since
- 4:13Speaker 3: I was young, you know, fear of my dad getting
- 4:16Speaker 3: drunk and beating the hell out of me, or just
- 4:19Speaker 3: being sober and beating the hell out of me, or
- 4:22Speaker 3: what do you do to my you know, my brothers,
- 4:24Speaker 3: Or being afraid of the dark when I was young,
- 4:28Speaker 3: being terrified of drugs and drinking, being afraid of getting
- 4:33Speaker 3: into fights or getting stabbed or shot. You know. I mean,
- 4:36Speaker 3: I've had to deal with all kinds of stuff. You know,
- 4:39Speaker 3: I've been afraid here in prison, especially when I first
- 4:42Speaker 3: came to prison. That's a terrified experience. Let me tell you,
- 4:50Speaker 3: I'm looking fear the same way as I look at
- 4:54Speaker 3: you know, someone walking up and spitting in my face.
- 4:58Speaker 3: I take it as my most disrespect and I'm want
- 5:02Speaker 3: to do everything within my power to put it down
- 5:04Speaker 3: as fast, as hard, and as viciously as I possibly can.
- 5:09Speaker 3: Because no one wants to live their life is here,
- 5:13Speaker 3: least of all a person like me, who is nothing
- 5:17Speaker 3: but five foot nine, one hundred and fifty pounds. And
- 5:21Speaker 3: that's probably what rocks in my pocket, living in an
- 5:24Speaker 3: environment like this.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Even his door is lost, and he'll he'll walk, and
- 5:34Speaker 1: he'll stop, and he'll go back and check his door.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Then he'll walk through and he'll go back and check
- 5:38Speaker 1: his door again. They'ly back and forth and the probably
- 5:42Speaker 1: and then he runs down into the childhold grab the stuff,
- 5:45Speaker 1: hal ass back. Hey, I'm telling you, but this is
- 5:51Speaker 1: the thing that is like if you looked at this dude,
- 5:53Speaker 1: like if if somebody on the street saw him, they
- 5:56Speaker 1: would think like, shoot, you got all that dam I
- 6:02Speaker 1: look at him, and I'm like, bride need to pay
- 6:04Speaker 1: for their therapy.
- 6:15Speaker 3: I've seen guys in here. They are so afraid, they
- 6:19Speaker 3: are so scared of everything that they no longer take showers,
- 6:24Speaker 3: they no longer clean their sell. They tiptoe out the
- 6:29Speaker 3: sell to get their trades in there. They give stuff
- 6:32Speaker 3: away off of their trades that they want to eat,
- 6:37Speaker 3: but they're afraid that somebody's going to hurt them, beat
- 6:41Speaker 3: them up, kill them, raising them do something violuntarism that
- 6:45Speaker 3: they give stuff away to guys just to be friendly
- 6:48Speaker 3: with people. So they're saying, hey, look, i'm your pal.
- 6:50Speaker 3: You don't want to hurt your power, I can give
- 6:52Speaker 3: you food. And they're starving. They're going hungry because they're
- 6:57Speaker 3: so afraid. Fear has literally just consume them, and fear
- 7:04Speaker 3: will do that to any person whether you're go on
- 7:06Speaker 3: the street and you're just you're afraid of success, or
- 7:10Speaker 3: you're afraid of failure, or you're afraid of hurting someone,
- 7:14Speaker 3: you're afraid of being hurt and giving your heart to someone,
- 7:18Speaker 3: all of these things that you're afraid of, If you
- 7:20Speaker 3: don't stand your ground and face it and deal with it,
- 7:25Speaker 3: and then whenever it pops up in your mind, whenever
- 7:28Speaker 3: that fear tries to rise, you literally have to slap
- 7:31Speaker 3: it down with positivity. You'll have to speak beautiful things
- 7:36Speaker 3: into your life. If you do that, and you do
- 7:39Speaker 3: it for the time you recognize that you are afraid
- 7:43Speaker 3: of something, you will overcome it. Fear will lose its power,
- 7:48Speaker 3: and you will live an incredibly beautiful life. I'm literally guaranteed.
- 7:54Speaker 3: The choice is up to you. Do you overcome your
- 7:57Speaker 3: fear or do you live in fear? M h.
- 8:08Speaker 2: M hm h.
- 8:10Speaker 1: M hm hm hm.
- 8:22Speaker 2: H m.
- 8:40Speaker 1: He goes home. He goes home in a couple of months.
- 8:42Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I don't even know his
- 8:44Speaker 1: real name. Like, honestly, I've only spoken to him very
- 8:48Speaker 1: very briefly.
- 8:49Speaker 3: Uh h.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Because one day he actually asked me to, uh, to
- 8:55Speaker 1: watch yourself while he got in the shower. I guess
- 8:57Speaker 1: he didn't feel like bagging everything up that day. I
- 9:00Speaker 1: was like, sure, man, I got you. It's like I'll
- 9:02Speaker 1: explain to you by and I'm like, I've been in
- 9:04Speaker 1: prison thirty four years, man, I'm well aware of why.
- 9:10Speaker 1: You know, I don't you know. I mean, he's just
- 9:15Speaker 1: you know, scary, scary, scary personality. I guess I just
- 9:18Speaker 1: think it's him bede Like, I don't think it's his charges.
- 9:20Speaker 1: I don't think he's locked up for anything messed up.
- 9:24Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe maybe what it is is like
- 9:26Speaker 1: when he his when he first fell, like he first
- 9:29Speaker 1: came to prison, maybe some douche ran up in the
- 9:32Speaker 1: cell and robbed him and beat him up, or or
- 9:34Speaker 1: you know, maybe he got stabbed or something. It's just
- 9:36Speaker 1: he's been shell shocked ever since. I mean, you know,
- 9:41Speaker 1: it's pretty damn wild though, man, like the stuff you
- 9:43Speaker 1: see in prison, and this is a retirement home, like
- 9:46Speaker 1: you've got a few young guys here, but like, you know,
- 9:50Speaker 1: nothing major. You know, Yeah, no dude, Like there's a
- 9:55Speaker 1: dude here. He's a pard mentor. By the way, it's
- 9:59Speaker 1: don't coast it so not yesterday but the other the
- 10:03Speaker 1: other morning, so with today's money. So Saturday morning, you know,
- 10:07Speaker 1: Saturday morning, you know we're still on modified lock. They
- 10:11Speaker 1: brought in, you know, we had to go get our
- 10:12Speaker 1: trays and bring them back, and they brought in a
- 10:14Speaker 1: huge five gallon cool earth milk and they had it
- 10:18Speaker 1: in our pods. You know, we was all got our
- 10:20Speaker 1: milk and everything. But he was supposed to, you know,
- 10:22Speaker 1: go next door after we were done. So the dons
- 10:26Speaker 1: from one pod walked across the hall into earth pot
- 10:29Speaker 1: and started getting milk. This dude looked at it, looked
- 10:31Speaker 1: over there and looked at it. He jumped up and
- 10:33Speaker 1: ran out the pod, ran down the hallway, and I
- 10:35Speaker 1: heard him tell her to see you here, see you
- 10:38Speaker 1: need to come and get this milk man and bring it.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Give it next door man. They're coming into her poddy.
- 10:48Speaker 1: When he come back in, I just I just looked
- 10:50Speaker 1: at him. I mean, I like, yeah, wow, yeah, like it.
- 10:58Speaker 1: First he wasn't doing anything, like they were just coming
- 11:02Speaker 1: in and filling their cups up with milk and then
- 11:04Speaker 1: leave like it's you know their milk. Half of that
- 11:07Speaker 1: milk belonged to them. You know, everybody, if you didn't
- 11:11Speaker 1: want that. All you had to do was just say all, hey, twupots,
- 11:14Speaker 1: y'all still want milk? If not, I'm taking it next
- 11:16Speaker 1: door to walpar because they ain't got theirs yet. Take
- 11:19Speaker 1: get up and walk it over. They say, hey, man,
- 11:21Speaker 1: here y'all go. You don't go running too the freaking
- 11:26Speaker 1: ceo yelling like, man, you gotta come and get the milk.
- 11:29Speaker 1: It's supposed to be in our pod. Okay, wow, bro,
- 11:35Speaker 1: just wow. I refuse to let my mind be raped
- 11:39Speaker 1: every day all day.
- 11:41Speaker 2: That get's hard to take a first leap sort of thing.
- 11:45Speaker 2: That's the hard part. Like when you're dealing with fear,
- 11:48Speaker 2: like you said, like don't want to get ahold of you,
- 11:50Speaker 2: but like taking that initial first step, that's like the
- 11:54Speaker 2: hard part.
- 11:55Speaker 1: Yeah, but this is the whole thing, all right, And
- 11:59Speaker 1: for you anybody else, who whoever you know, here's what
- 12:03Speaker 1: I'm about to say. Look, a person does not walk
- 12:07Speaker 1: around with only one fear in their life. Find the
- 12:12Speaker 1: smallest fear that you have, like you don't have to
- 12:16Speaker 1: go conquer that one. Definitely fear that one thing that
- 12:21Speaker 1: just terrifies you and freezes you in your tracks and
- 12:25Speaker 1: causes you to dribble, piss down your leg. You don't
- 12:30Speaker 1: have to face that one right out the game if
- 12:32Speaker 1: you have that kind of mentality, and you can by
- 12:36Speaker 1: all means though, I mean, let's face it, if you
- 12:39Speaker 1: kind of have that mentality, you're not going to have
- 12:42Speaker 1: that kind of fear to begin with. Start with something small,
- 12:47Speaker 1: like if this just simply you know, going to the
- 12:50Speaker 1: learning annex and you know and just learning something new,
- 12:56Speaker 1: or you know, maybe maybe you take a try. So
- 13:00Speaker 1: let's say, you know, like maybe fly like you're a
- 13:02Speaker 1: little scared of flying, but like you're not going to
- 13:05Speaker 1: chicken out of it, Like you know that you can't
- 13:07Speaker 1: get on an airplane and you know, fly someplace, but
- 13:10Speaker 1: it is going to be a little bit scary for you,
- 13:12Speaker 1: but you can handle it. Then go take a trip somewhere,
- 13:16Speaker 1: like you know, jump off of you know, a hot dive,
- 13:20Speaker 1: do something small that's a little bit scary, and just
- 13:23Speaker 1: kind of build some confidence under your bill and you know,
- 13:28Speaker 1: until you get to where you can't face that big fear.
- 13:31Speaker 1: That's how you do it. Like it's baby steps. People.
- 13:33Speaker 1: You don't have to swing for the fences straight out
- 13:36Speaker 1: the gates. Just get on base, Just get on base.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Oh God, just dude, he's so freaking stupid. Mm No, seriously, bro,
- 14:16Speaker 1: Like he's on a video wearing sunglasses.
- 14:26Speaker 2: Jesus, I'm gonna calm on, brou.
- 14:32Speaker 1: You're inside on a video this.
- 14:36Speaker 2: Wearing it's a glare off the screen or something it
- 14:39Speaker 2: isn't like, does don't make sense, but there is no blare.
- 14:44Speaker 1: There is no blare on the screen. Man, I'm just.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Kind of look cool for some girl.
- 14:52Speaker 1: Man, God save me some stupid people. H I mean,
- 15:00Speaker 1: it's just I just I don't get it, bro, Like,
- 15:05Speaker 1: I just I genuinely don't get some of the stuff
- 15:09Speaker 1: I see in here. Hey, I understand, Like if you're
- 15:14Speaker 1: on the streets and you're wearing sunglasses and you go
- 15:16Speaker 1: into like a store and you're just you're paying for
- 15:19Speaker 1: your gas or grabbing something real fast, and you just
- 15:22Speaker 1: you don't take them off. I can understand that.
- 15:24Speaker 3: I can.
- 15:25Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with that. But like, are you going
- 15:28Speaker 1: to have a zoom meeting inside your house wearing sunglasses?
- 15:36Speaker 2: Person?
- 15:38Speaker 1: No, you're not, because at the end of the day,
- 15:41Speaker 1: you've got more since then. Anyway, let me stop being mean.
- 15:48Speaker 1: It is just I'm telling you though, Man, it's little
- 15:50Speaker 1: stuff like that, whether it.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Just gets under my skin, you know, probably not seeing
- 15:56Speaker 2: stuff like that for you know what I mean, like
- 15:58Speaker 2: being in solitary for some mers kind of limited to
- 16:02Speaker 2: like the amount of annoyances you have. You still have annoyances,
- 16:06Speaker 2: but they're like specific to your situation.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it's just like wow, where
- 16:22Speaker 1: you don't look cool, Like there's no way, dudes, James
- 16:26Speaker 1: Dean himself could not look cool doing it like no
- 16:32Speaker 1: one Like yeah, I don't know, bruh, I mean to
- 16:39Speaker 1: me that this is the thing, Like, bruh, If I
- 16:41Speaker 1: especially if you're in prison and I'm on the streets
- 16:45Speaker 1: and we have a video visit and you show up
- 16:47Speaker 1: wearing sunglasses and like you don't take them off the
- 16:50Speaker 1: whole time. You know what I'm thinking, right.
- 16:53Speaker 2: I'm thinking you're doing it because you're high.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Probably either that or somebody swore you nay shut oh
- 17:02Speaker 1: that too, you know, yes, like you know which and
- 17:08Speaker 1: he du it. If I and it's the thing if I,
- 17:11Speaker 1: if I know you have a problem with substances abuse,
- 17:14Speaker 1: that's it, bruh, I will cut you off. You will
- 17:16Speaker 1: get no more money from me. Yeah, you know, because
- 17:20Speaker 1: I'm not, I'm not paying for your drug addict. And no,
- 17:25Speaker 1: you know there's a dude and there's a dude down
- 17:27Speaker 1: here that I know from Uther king out. You know,
- 17:31Speaker 1: they put him in the pot and he gives me
- 17:33Speaker 1: some sob story with me as yeah, I was, I
- 17:36Speaker 1: was in the sell with the god. You know, he
- 17:38Speaker 1: was making wine. I wasn't, but he was making wine.
- 17:41Speaker 1: And you know, my qv like I had one hundred
- 17:45Speaker 1: dollars in commissary, I had this, I had that, my
- 17:48Speaker 1: tub was like and all that stole. It's like then
- 17:51Speaker 1: I went to the ward and then you know, we
- 17:53Speaker 1: watched the video, but the warden was like, well man,
- 17:56Speaker 1: because you all was selling wine. You know, I had
- 17:58Speaker 1: so many people in and out, I can't tell who
- 18:00Speaker 1: stole this. So I'm not doing nothing about it. First
- 18:04Speaker 1: of all, bruh Bush, all right, because if they knew
- 18:08Speaker 1: you were selling wind, they're locking your ass up, like
- 18:12Speaker 1: they're shutting that down. They're shutting it down, all right. Secondly,
- 18:20Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how many people are going in and out.
- 18:24Speaker 1: The overwhelming majority of the people are going to come
- 18:27Speaker 1: out with it in a in a bottle or a
- 18:29Speaker 1: cup of glass something like. You know, I'm strengthing cool,
- 18:32Speaker 1: a bro, I don't know what you're talking about. Get
- 18:33Speaker 1: the boy for me. You know, that's a big difference
- 18:36Speaker 1: from coming out somebody having a television under their arms,
- 18:40Speaker 1: even if they do have it in a brown paper bag.
- 18:43Speaker 1: That's literally if I if I'm if I work for
- 18:45Speaker 1: the Department of Corrections and I'm looking at video footage
- 18:48Speaker 1: to see somebody stealing the TV, a fan everything like,
- 18:53Speaker 1: I'm watching for the dude that brings the bag out,
- 18:57Speaker 1: Like I don't care about anything else. You cannot hide
- 19:00Speaker 1: division under your shirt, your code or whatever. Where you
- 19:03Speaker 1: come down here and you got high, you got weak,
- 19:07Speaker 1: you got high, and you sold everything you had to
- 19:11Speaker 1: pay for it, and now you want to come to me. Man,
- 19:14Speaker 1: you know doing good much can't good a jump? Well, bro,
- 19:17Speaker 1: I'm not fating you many.
- 19:22Speaker 2: Yeah, it's.
- 19:24Speaker 1: So yeah.
- 19:27Speaker 2: Idiots.
- 19:29Speaker 1: So if I think you get high, that's it, bro'
- 19:31Speaker 1: it's over with. You get nothing from me, ever, and
- 19:36Speaker 1: if you don't like it, I can sever the friendship
- 19:38Speaker 1: quick fast then hurry. You want to know what's crazy?
- 19:42Speaker 1: You remember how I told you the yearly budget for
- 19:47Speaker 1: the Department of Correctes in the State of Virginia is
- 19:49Speaker 1: supposed to be only fifteen percent.
- 19:54Speaker 2: Of the state's budget. Yeah, yeah, the state.
- 19:57Speaker 1: Budget supposed to be fifteen percent of the state budget,
- 19:59Speaker 1: but it's thirty nine point nine percent. What's crazy is
- 20:02Speaker 1: it's actually legal to buy and smoke marijuana in the
- 20:06Speaker 1: state of Virginia.
- 20:07Speaker 2: Now it's actually legal.
- 20:10Speaker 1: Although you literally have guys that are still doing prison
- 20:13Speaker 1: time off of nothing, but we charge his own like
- 20:17Speaker 1: you would have thought that they would have been just
- 20:19Speaker 1: released him, like all right, you know what, it's legal,
- 20:21Speaker 1: now we're going to go. He could cut you off
- 20:23Speaker 1: the asss loose and uh yeah whatever, No, that's star
- 20:28Speaker 1: doing prison time. But it's I was actually talking to
- 20:30Speaker 1: somebody this morning. I'm like, man, you know what if
- 20:33Speaker 1: they actually started and it's the thing, all they would
- 20:36Speaker 1: have to do is just buy the marijuana seeds. They
- 20:39Speaker 1: could literally have a work camp crow marijuana that they
- 20:45Speaker 1: could then one sell to other states, you know, the
- 20:48Speaker 1: dispensaries and everything. All they would all they would cost
- 20:52Speaker 1: them is just the seeds to get it up and
- 20:54Speaker 1: run it. But then they start selling marijuana through commissary.
- 20:59Speaker 1: So let's you know, you want to bounce for fifty bucks,
- 21:03Speaker 1: just think of one, how much money the Department of
- 21:06Speaker 1: Corrections is going to make every single week.
- 21:12Speaker 2: Yeah, just buying for weed and getting high.
- 21:15Speaker 1: But okay, God of people, especially the Republicans and the
- 21:19Speaker 1: Conservatives and you know, the Christians and whatnot, are going
- 21:22Speaker 1: to go up in arms about that. But however, hold up,
- 21:26Speaker 1: think about it this way. If a guy can go
- 21:30Speaker 1: by weed, he's not going to buy paper. He's not
- 21:35Speaker 1: going to buy the strip, he's not going to buy ice,
- 21:37Speaker 1: he's not going to buy K two, he's not going
- 21:39Speaker 1: to buy none of them things.
- 21:41Speaker 2: Yeah, if you can get it or you know what
- 21:44Speaker 2: it is, and yeah, and you know, trouble for it.
- 21:50Speaker 1: They're not going to issue fort and you're not going
- 21:55Speaker 1: to owe deal over because it's the Virginia Department of
- 21:58Speaker 1: Corrections actually selling it. So think I mean, dude, it
- 22:02Speaker 1: literally cuts your ods. It literally cuts that off at
- 22:05Speaker 1: the knees. Like you might you might have one or
- 22:09Speaker 1: two odes a year, you know, just from the guys
- 22:14Speaker 1: that are like, you know, they're hardcore paper, right, you know,
- 22:17Speaker 1: that's their drug of choice. She mightst have. But the
- 22:19Speaker 1: thing is, bro it would it would it would become
- 22:22Speaker 1: so expensive that dudes literally they just couldn't afford it.
- 22:26Speaker 1: They would literally be forced to just smoke weed to
- 22:29Speaker 1: get high, like if they want, if they want to
- 22:32Speaker 1: lose themselves in that, you know that that false comfort
- 22:35Speaker 1: and escape, that is what they would do.
- 22:39Speaker 2: And you're automatically you're keeping people other than black market
- 22:42Speaker 2: in there, right, the commissary, Yeah, I think a lot
- 22:51Speaker 2: of time times that's a podcast episode rate that.
- 22:55Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it makes sense, bro, Like, it's just
- 22:59Speaker 1: if they start it. Look if the Virginia Department Correction
- 23:01Speaker 1: started selling weed, if they started allowing us to sling
- 23:08Speaker 1: ink that you actually you have to fill out of
- 23:11Speaker 1: request form. Uh, you know, you get scheduled a date
- 23:14Speaker 1: and time that you're going to be over there. You
- 23:17Speaker 1: actually have to pay for it, you know, depending on
- 23:20Speaker 1: what it is you want done, that's what you pay.
- 23:24Speaker 2: Right.
- 23:25Speaker 1: But all of the ink, the needles, everything one. You know,
- 23:29Speaker 1: our Commissary fund is going to buy the professional equipment.
- 23:33Speaker 1: So it's not bootlegs but together, it's not you know,
- 23:36Speaker 1: using the same needles you know, over and over again.
- 23:39Speaker 1: And you know some guys just don't even clean them. Hell,
- 23:42Speaker 1: you guys, some guys that don't even white needles clean
- 23:44Speaker 1: That's why, like, if I ever get work done again,
- 23:46Speaker 1: I'm making my own needles because one I know how,
- 23:49Speaker 1: and I know how to make the good stuff. Like
- 23:52Speaker 1: you're not using somebody else's needle ever on me. It
- 23:55Speaker 1: just will not happen. Yeah, no, no, there's what dude,
- 23:59Speaker 1: there's no have a titus. See, there's no risk of
- 24:01Speaker 1: AIDS or a staff infection or you know anything else.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Well, I don't think about you can do apprenticeships where
- 24:12Speaker 2: people can get actual skills they can use on the streets.
- 24:15Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
- 24:17Speaker 1: I mean, you know right, I mean it genuinely is
- 24:20Speaker 1: a trade. Yeah, you know, I'm sorry, said again.
- 24:25Speaker 2: I think you can have like a full like a
- 24:26Speaker 2: full tattoosh operating in front of the institution somewhere.
- 24:30Speaker 1: How that we are.
- 24:31Speaker 2: Completely it's no, you know, it's no like I think
- 24:34Speaker 2: you even have like SEO getting tattooed like that quality
- 24:38Speaker 2: of work going on where a SEO would be willing
- 24:40Speaker 2: to actually get work done.
- 24:43Speaker 1: Yeah, and they have to pay for them. But this
- 24:44Speaker 1: is the thing, all right. So let's say that piece
- 24:47Speaker 1: on your full arm of the compass in the rows,
- 24:49Speaker 1: which is fricky twos, you know, is that right there
- 24:56Speaker 1: on the street. How much would you pay for that?
- 25:00Speaker 1: Seventeen hundred seventeen hundred, okay, basically two grand for that,
- 25:06Speaker 1: like a CEO would you know, all he has to
- 25:09Speaker 1: do is pay two hundred for that for that piece
- 25:12Speaker 1: right there?
- 25:13Speaker 2: Mm hm. You know what's sasen.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Fifteen hundred dollars. Dude, he's going to jump on that
- 25:18Speaker 1: with both feet. That's two hundred dollars right there that
- 25:21Speaker 1: the state just got from just that one piece.
- 25:25Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, exactly, you.
- 25:31Speaker 1: Know, I mean, there's so much stuff they could do
- 25:35Speaker 1: to be making freaking money in here. They would It
- 25:37Speaker 1: would cut down on like you said, it would cut
- 25:39Speaker 1: down on the illegal stuff. It would cut down on
- 25:41Speaker 1: the platform. You have one minute remaining. It would cut
- 25:45Speaker 1: down on the medical costs because when a guy, when
- 25:48Speaker 1: a guy gets hepatitis C, hepatitis B A, whatever the
- 25:52Speaker 1: case may be, you know how much that damn treatment is,
- 25:56Speaker 1: and they have to treat them. They can't just not
- 25:58Speaker 1: treat them because there's a cure for it. Now, what
- 26:00Speaker 1: is seventy five thousand dollars give or take something along
- 26:03Speaker 1: those lines. So you know, hell, that right there pays
- 26:10Speaker 1: for all of the equipment for like at least ten
- 26:12Speaker 1: fricking years, just one treatment, just simply keeping one guy
- 26:17Speaker 1: from getting appetities to begin with, says a ton of money. Yeah, buddy,
- 26:27Speaker 1: well enough for that. God they yeah they again. Man,
- 26:33Speaker 1: what do I know? I'm more wrong.
- 26:39Speaker 2: I thank you for using GTL have have you had
- 27:05Speaker 2: some basic fathing more than
