  Speaker 1: Okay, the homeless guy in the area who's wearing dark
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: clothes and jumping out.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Car jumps out in front of cars. Okay, so you
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: know that part about it. This is what I hate
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: about They turned that story into a huge sensational story
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: when I read that, and and the worst part is
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: I trained that guy. He trains with us, and I
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: know him Pally, the homeless guy, not the homeless guy Kevin,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: the other guy. I'm not gonna mention his last name
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: and stuff, but so I reached out to him. I
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: was like, first of all, man, do you and your
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: family need everything? And he's like, bro, he goes, I
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: was just leaving work because he's a chef. He works
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: at a restaurant or whatever. He had a beer and
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: or whatever it was, you know, a wine. I don't
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: know what exactly it was. But he was leaving, he
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: was getting onto you. He's getting onto the entrance ramp
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: to Waterbury and he hits this guy. Well he tried
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: to he tried to swerve or whatever, but the mirror
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: hit him. The mirror ended up hit him. I don't
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: know why the guy was on the entrance ramp in
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: the first place. So the cops did a field sobriety test.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: He passed that. On the side of the road. He
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: blew a point zero six. He got to the station,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: they blew a point zero five and they still charged him.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: They're like, uh, do you have anybody you can call.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: He's like, no, I have a newborn and a wife
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: and I have the car. They're like, well, you're sitting
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: in jail all night long. He's like, then, I guess
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: I'm sitting in jail all night long. I have no
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: one to call. And he blew under a point zero
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: eight and they still charged him and stuff, And then
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: the news people like that was that was really shady
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: what they did to that poor guy. And we see
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: it all the time, and you don't know because you're
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: just like, they put this sensational thing out there, and
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: unless you know that people personally, you'll never know the
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: real story to it. Yeah, So I thought that was crazy,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: and I want to get that out there because Kevin's
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: a decent guy. He's not a he's a real good guy.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: He just had a brand new it just had a newborn,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: and shit, he's a Yeah, he's a like a chef
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: at a five star restaurant.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: But if we have something that is repetitively happening happening
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: with some individual who is again, yeah, jumping out in
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: front of vehicles.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: But why is he said and wearing?
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: And the other thing is now you have but the
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: same guys in Berlin. I mean, this is where our
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: systems are fwhere.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Because Kevin, Kevin has a young family, he has a kid,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: and now he has to hire a lawyer and go
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: to court to fight a dui charge that should have
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: never even been charged, should have been already thrown out
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: and this should have been an accident where insurance companies
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: were taking care of this. But now he's going to
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: be forced to hire a criminal lawyer. What is he
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: going to have twenty five hundred three thousand dollars or
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: take a plea deal because they know he doesn't have
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: the money, even though like this is where our system sucks.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Glenn just says, how about the guy
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: that keeps stepping out in traffic?
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: That's what it was.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Why don't they lock him up?
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I know that's that's the guy that was.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: And instead they charge that poor kid with a who's
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: got a newborn and a young family. They charge that
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: kid and now he's got to fight to stay out
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: of jail or take.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: A plea deal Jesus man, Like, do you.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Not understand how our system is rigged against poor people?
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Against us?
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Rex Thompson, if you're just joining us from Donning Brook
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Fight Promotions, I understand that you have been involved in
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: some legal action related to your business. Now, before we
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: even get started, I just I want to just ask you,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: is this something that you can share a little bit about?
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: And if you can't, that's fine.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is something I can. I can definitely talk about.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: We had to file a civil suit in the Supreme
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Court over in Saratoga. I won't get into too much
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: of the details, but essentially it it stems from a
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: business dispute and it involves investments we made over in
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: New York with another promotion and how they use those funds,
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: how the funds were used, and some concerns over our
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: own intellectual property.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: What made you decide, Rex, that filing a lawsuit was
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: the right path to go about.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Well, honestly, it wasn't a decision we took lately. It
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: really wasn't. We tried to resolve everything directly with the
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: promoter over there, but in the end we felt it
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: the only way to protect ourselves, our brand was to
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: file for a formal complaint. It's about standing up for
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: the time, the money, and the work that we put
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: in to building our brand. And you know that's we
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: were force and that we tried every avenue to solve
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: this situation and then we got ignored.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Without getting into any specifics or naming names, what's what
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: was the what was the main issue at stake here?
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, you know, at the heart of it.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Again, if you can't talk about it, that's fine.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: You no, no, you know, in the heart of it,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: it was it was an investment. It was an invested
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: we we we invested resources into building up promotion in
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: New York. Okay, we believed that and we believed in
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: it at the time. Later we saw actions. Uh, in
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: our view, it undermined our investment, you know that, that
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: was my view, and potentially misused our brand and our identity.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Our lawsuit is really about making sure the record is clear,
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: that we get our voice out there, because I know
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: a lot of stuff has been said about us, and
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: we want to make that very clear. And it's about
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: protecting what we built, we took. I mean, we're on
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Battle of Bury seventeen we built this and somebody else
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: we built. We built the brand and it was misused.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: What do you think the outcomes going to be.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: More than anything? Accountability and fairness. We'd like to see
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: our investment respected, our brand protected beyond the legal side.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: We also hope it, uh you know, it encourages others
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: in the industry to value transparency, integrity and partnerships. You know,
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: there's so many shady people in this business, so you
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: have to be careful. You have to protect yourself, you
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: have to be transparent with everything, which we did. We
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: were very We definitely protected ourselves.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: For people listening who might not know much about fight promotions,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: and I've learned a lot from you about them just
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: in a couple of short years.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Why is.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Protecting intellectual property and investments so critical?
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Aw, that's a great question, man. You know, a promotion
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: it isn't just about putting matches together. It's about building
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: your trust with your fighters, your coaches, your sponsors. There's
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: years of building that up. That's the behind the scenes
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: that nobody sees, the easy part. We see people all
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: the time trying to fight start promotions, but they don't
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: have those that trust in that system. If intellectual property
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: like logos, names or events concepts isn't respected. It undermines
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: the whole ecosystem. Protecting those things ensures the sport grows
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: in a fair and sustainable way.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: It's but this has got to be tough when you're
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: trying to balance being in the middle of a lawsuit
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: and continuing to grow your promotion. I mean, you've got
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: an event coming up on September thirteenth.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: This is huge.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: This has got to be a pretty significant distraction. I
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: can only imagine.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it is definitely definitely a challenge, I'll just
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: say that. But we're staying focused. We're in Vermont, We're
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: putting on our show. Like I said, man, you can
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: lay down and just die, or you can keep moving
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: one foot forward at a time. You know, we've got
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: an upcoming event. We have great fighters, we have amazing
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: fans in Vermont and beyond. We have fans over in
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: New York, Maine, New Hampshire, we have them everywhere. So
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: that's where most of our energy is right now. We're
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: letting the legal system we just you know, like I said,
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: we filed one hundred and ninety page suits. It's with
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: the Saratoga Civil Court right now.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: So, is there anything that you would want other small
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: business or promotion organizations businesses to learn or to know
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: from your experience? Absolutely, protecting your damn brand.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Trust your instincts. More than that. I don't care if
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: they're your best friend, I don't care. Document everything that'll
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: keep your friendship. Well, that's what we did. We kept everything,
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: every email, we had, every text message, we had the
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: original contracts, we had everything. We send it. You know,
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: like I said, the one hundred and ninety pages of
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: evidence that we had. You just you have to. You
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: have to protect yourself. So even if you think you're
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: going overboard or that's silly because I trust you, don't,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: don't And you have to separate business from friendship when
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: you do that kind of stuff. So yeah, absolutely protect yourself.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: I do this even in my own construction company and stuff.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: If I have I am very very clear on my
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: invoices on exactly what we're doing. If you want me
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: to do something that's outside of the scope of that
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: work that we originally agreed upon, I send you a
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: text or I send you an email saying, hey, this
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: is what we're going to do. This is the extra
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: cost to it. Would you like us to proceed further?
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Now I have it documented. I have that. If they
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: ever come in and they say, hey, I never wanted
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: you to do that, well, yes you did, so that's
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: what you know.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: That's What about your past partnerships and relationships with other promoters?
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's a fair question. You've got many over the years.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: We've worked with so many different people in the industry.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: We've had some collaborations with some really positive people. We've
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: had some collaborations with some that turned out to be
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: a really negative, a real negative for us, and and
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: we we some of our partnerships showed us the value
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: of trust and teamwork. Others showed us how do I
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: want to say? It showed us kind of like what
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: people really were, who they really were. So we've had
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: good and bad experiences, just like any other. This is
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: this is the first time we've had to take legal action,
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: so mostly the majority of it, though, it has been
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: positive for us.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: What what made you want to get involved with an
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: investment in a promotions company in New York in the
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: first place?
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Though, I'm sorry, I'm getting a text message right now.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Can you please ask me that again?
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: What what made you want to get involved and get
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: started with a promotions company in New York?
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Mmmm uh. When the opportunity in New York arose, it
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: just felt like a natural next step for our promotion
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: to expand that way. We had a ton of fans
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: out there already. It just it was it should have
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: been the next step, is what it was.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: You were excited about that.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, looking back, you know, I don't know. I mm hmmm,
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man. Yeah, it's it was a business
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: decision and it wasn't taken lately. And that's why we
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: we covered a lot of things.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: At the At the end of the day, this has
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: and you have always circled back to this. At the
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: end of the day, it's about your fighters. And I
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: say this, I've said this for years about drivers up
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: at thunder Road. At the end of the day, it
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: is about the drivers. It is about how much they
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: love their sport, how much they love doing what they do,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: how much money they put into their cars, their crew teams,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: their families support the money the time. That is that
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: passion is what drives everything else and is what will
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: bring the fans to the stands right And if you
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: don't have.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, you don't have pretty straightforward yeah, with a
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: payment plan. I mean, we basically treated it as a loan,
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: but what they really wanted was support with branding, structure,
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: and growth. So instead of just saying here's the money,
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: pay us back, we leaned in with our experience, our resources.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: We tried to build something together with them. At the time,
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: I felt like it was the right thing to do
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: for someone that we cared about. You know, we actually
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: cared about this guy. We considered him a friend, and
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: looking back, it was a big lesson in separating business
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: and friendship. That was a huge lesson for us. You know,
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: you always want to help everybody, but it's super super
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: important to make sure everything is clearly defined. And when
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: you talk about passion, Buck, I'll be straight with you, man,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: I can get pretty passionate, as you know.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: You know, we do, especially about these things.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: And sometimes, man, I even get a little nervous with
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: stuff like this go sideways, I really do. I know.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: I could be a lot sometimes I really can. Personally,
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: I can be a lot. But this isn't just about me.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: It's not or my personality, you know, this is Taylor
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: was just as involved in this as anybody else. It's
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: involved in the whole process. I mean, we were both
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: making decisions together every step of the way. Yeah, and
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: that's important to point out. You know, it's not just
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: about me. People think that this is all about me,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: and it's just not because it's not the case. We
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: have real concerns. This is not a personality thing. This
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: is real legal concerns about our intellectual property. It affected
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: my entire family, It affected my daughter. Through it all,
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: we've done our best to keep people in the loops
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: so that no one else ended up getting burned by
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: the situation in New York. At the end of the day,
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: it's it's not about pointing fingers. It's about protecting the fighters.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: It's protecting our sponsors. It's the fans who trust us
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: to bring things the right way. Man. You know, we
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: have a certain set and we set that up. We
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: have a this is how we do it boom boom boom,
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: And you can you can watch them do it the
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: exact same way over there because they're using our whole
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: business model. Yeah. For okay, that like I can't I
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: don't want to get too much into it. How you
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: can follow, you can follow the case it's public knowledge
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: right in this Superior court in Saratoga Spring, So I understand. Yeah,
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: you know. And and the other reason is we have
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: we haven't gotten our side out. We've kept pretty quiet
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: about it on a whole. And trust me, we've heard
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: everything that's been said about us, every single thing. I've
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: heard it all. And luckily I have very big shoulders
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: right now, and we're going to let the courts handle this.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: It's a pretty big deal right now.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I know, I know personally, and you've you have set
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: this again and I'll go back to this. You've said
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: this again so many times to me over the years
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: that I've known you.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Nope, Nope.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: At the end of the day, it's about the fighters.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Protect the fighters. They're the ones that are shown up.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: They're the ones that are training. Yep. They're the ones
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: that are putting all the heavy lifting and the working
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: into this so that they can bring their passion. They're
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: hard work into the cage.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, don't get it wrong, We absolutely appreciate,
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: appreciate the fighters. Ifout the fighters, we don't have fights
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: without the fans. We don't have fights without the production crews.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: We don't have fights. That's true without the money. It
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: works both ways. We appreciate that the pro fighters, sorry,
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: that's a job man, amateur fighters, they don't get paid
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: to do that job. So, but we're on the same note.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: We're also giving them a platform fight on so that
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: they can they can build their records up. Without having
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: a platform to fight on, you could be the best
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: fighter in the world and nobody knows who you are. Yeah. So,
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: but it's you know what I mean, It's just we
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: put a lot into those people. We we trusted those people,
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: but we absolutely covered ourselves too. We're very transparent. You
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: know me, man, I have nothing to hide. I don't
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: say anything in a d M or a text message
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: or behind anybody's back that I will not say right
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: directly to anybody's face. I don't. So they have their
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: own things going on over there, and that's on them.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: We just my daughter's been working really hard. It's been
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: a lot of sleepless nights because that took that. There
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: was a lot of money involved, So that absolutely affected
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: our shows over here.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: So wisdom, wisdom, wisdom can come at a big price, tack. Yeah,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: but once you have it, once.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: You've learned, it'll just cause stress you've gone through experience
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: and you've learned. Just cause stress anxiety level max all
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: the time. I just want to be dumb and living bliss.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: I just be the happiest person. I want to be
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: that guy with the world is blowing up around you
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: and you're just fucking smiling walking down the road. I wish,
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: but I hate having a bunch of knowledge in my brain.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: I just hate it. There's too much stuff to think about,
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: like this, did you see I brought my brought my
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: wife to the job site and.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Ship there saw that I did.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: That was a rough day, but you know what we're
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: it's been so I got you know, with my injury here,
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: it's I can't lift weights. I can't even lift a pound.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: For like six months, I had just downsized my construction
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: company and I started working on a crew with my
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: son and stuff. And it was right at that point
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: I got injured. And so that was a huge frustrating
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: set back there. So my wife and my daughter, my
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: daughter in law, we brought the whole family on board.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: So we've been up at the house that we've been building.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: My daughter and my wife are learning to tape, they're
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: learning to paint, they've been a huge, huge help. And
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: it's a it's not so much even that they don't
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: know anything, it's just having them there, having that support
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: right to fucking it's instead of trying to dig out
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: of this hole, this black hole. And I'm not just
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: talking about debt or not talking about but just that
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: that dark hole. Having that support with you, you're not doing
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: it alone.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: House Hunter in his hand.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: He's supposed to be wearing a brat, but he's a
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: dumbass like I am. Well, yeah, but we do, you know,
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: And so that's what we do. Whatever we can do.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: We still move forward, like I was putting the kitchen cabinets.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: In and but you do. I saw the video the
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: other day. You're moving this arm around a lot, but.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: It fucking hurts. By about eleven noon, that's all I
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: got in me, and it hurts like a bastard. Listen,
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: as I said, your physical therapist is watching this morning.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: So please, I mean slow. You don't have a choice
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: when you're you know, I understand that, but you're self employed.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: You don't slow down. Bill collectors ain't slowing down.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: I understand that.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: I understand they don't even care.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: But you don't want to have surgery again.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: But so that's the conundrum, that's the balance when you're
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: self employed. Yeah, no, I don't want to have surgery. No,
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: I don't want to get hurt. But yes I have
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: to do work. I don't I don't have a choice.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: Your family has stepped up. Yeah, that's yeah, Just go easy, Okay,
• 47:01

• 47:16
  Speaker 1: I'll just run them down and then I'll.
• 47:18

• 48:59
  Speaker 2: supporter and and and that that was something bad against Trump. Okay, No,
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: I'm going to stop. I'm sorry.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: Did you see the Did you see the comments from
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: the lady that went off on me week before last
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: because I shared the w I think it was w
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: C A X could have been PTZ story about UH
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Governor Scott having state employees come back to the office. Okay,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: and she started coming after me. Maybe she thought that
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: I wrote the article. I don't know, but.
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: Why would why would you get mad at reporting news,
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: reporting something anyway?
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: That I was deceiving people bye bye by sharing that story?
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: Why is it? Okay? Okay? I don't understand what was deceitful?
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know. People are fucking weird, just weird. I know, man,
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: what is going on? I know what else is happening.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: Let's see.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: A judge is halting the new detentions. Yeah at alligator
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: Alcatraz Yep, no more, We're full.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: Oh. They also told them they had to take down
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: what did they tell them that they had to take down?
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: The fen saying they had to take down the generators
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: basically disassemble it.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, a lot.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man. So I was once told that
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: you'll know you have a tyrannical government when federal troops
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: are marching on the streets.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Florida immediately filed a notice of appeal. I wonder if
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: the ruling's going to stand.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: Nineteen seventy nine. Mit protected that by two thousand and
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: thirty there'll be a societal and economic collapse in civil war.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: And we've hit every single marker. We just finished the migration,
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: all the Red states have propped up, all the Blue
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: states have propped up, and now we're playing tit for
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: tat on the jerrymandering. So the problem that I have
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: with the jerrymandering thing is the Red States. The last
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: state that was left that they could jerrymander was Texas.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: So the Red states have already jerrymandered every portion that
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: they can. So now what they've done and now so
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: now Texas was the last I don't remember how many
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: seats they've picked up. Four they'll pick up four or
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: five seats, I think is what they'll do. But once
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: California redistricts, they'll pick up another nine seats, so they'll
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: be back down that five. But then you have Illinois, Michigan,
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: New York that all have room to jerrymander, and they'll
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: get They could absolutely make it so that there would
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: never be a GOP majority in the House ever again,
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: And that's pathetic. I just were I guess what people
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: don't understand is if one party can go to the extreme,
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: the other party can go to the extreme. So when
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: they say, oh, that's just fear mongering, it's not fear mongering.
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: It's you have to think about what is the extreme?
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: So if Trump can do this with federal troops, what
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: could someone like Biden do with what could gavinor Newsen do?
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: Now that he's in control of the federal government, we
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: no longer have separation of powers. So if if Trump
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: calls a dog, they do whatever he tells them to do.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: What happens if Governor Newsom gets in there? What is
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: he going to do with that same exact power that
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: we just gave to Trump? Do people not realize that
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: that that? And so you have this whole swath of
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: people pointing and laughing, going aha, fucking shut your mouth,
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: just keep quiet. I don't know when the last time
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: Americans ever kept their mouth shut, But now they want
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: you to just like, hey, just be cool, shut your mouth. Well,
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: they're not going to. And then you have to look
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: at the flip side. So if you have Trump going
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: over the going after these certain rights, what's gonna stop
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: a democratic president going after all these other rights? There's
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: no more checks and balances. And if they start, if
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: they jerrymander every state, then why vote anymore? I really
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: believe that we're I think by twenty thirty where you'll
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: see a civil war.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: Again, did you hear about the prison in North Florida
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: which is vacant. I can't remember the exact town it is,
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: but Desantish wants to turn it into deportation depot. You
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: know why we have Alligator Alcatraz and now deportation depot.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: You know why?
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: What do you think this is going to mean for
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: the other projects that are underway?
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: Listen to this. This is so funny because we've just
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: sat here alls they're doing. Both sides are doing the
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: same exact thing, deportation. Listen, deepot, listen to this though.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: We so the left made a whole bunch of made
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of hotels into homeless, into homeless places
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: for homeless people. Right, Why did they do that? Billions
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: of dollars in federal funds. Well, now they took the
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: federal funds out of there and they said, well, let's
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: give you We'll get Hey Florida, we'll give you billions
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: of federal funds if you build these, Hey El Salvador,
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: we'll give you billions of funds. So we never saved
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: any money. We just moved it from one spot to
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: spending to the other spot. We're gonna take it away
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: from the social programs and want to put it into
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: the law enforcement programs, the military, defense spending. And we're
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: not gonna fucking lower a goddamn thing. We're gonna keep
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: our spending rate the same. We're just gonna do it
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: to the programs we like. And how does not everybody
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: see that? Bulls? Yet? Do you think you think Dessante's
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: is doing it for free? Like, hey, I should be here,
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'm gonna build these things? No he's not.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: He's not building it with Florida taxpayer money. He's building
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: it with federal funds. So it all depends on where
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: you want your federal funds whatever, helping US citizens or
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: fucking ca aging US citizens? God whatever?
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: You think the uh, the FED is going to bow
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: to pressure from the Trump administration.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: You do. Everybody's bowing down to him. He runs it
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: like the mafia. And that's the problem. I mean, you
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: have to see it, like, what's going to happen? What
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: is going to happen if a democratic president someone like
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: Newsom gets in there and has that same exact power.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: Any downside to lowering rates and allowing the economy to
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: UH to.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: See inflation run and crash, and we will have an
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: economic we will it'll. I mean he's trying to avoid
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: avoid a recession and lowering the rates is not doing
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: that that actually sends you into a recession even quicker.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: Even the markets, the markets right now, everything with the
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: markets going on. Craig McDermott that he had a perfect explanation.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's it. We align right now with the
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: nineteen twenty nine crash. We are the exact same spot,
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: except for this further her head. I've heard that. That's
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: why it aligns with it. It says by twenty twenty.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: It says by twenty twenty nine will have another depression.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: And that's exactly what the MIT model. Get your chickens,
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: Get your chickens, get your chickens, get your bunnies. Start low, Namo.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: What do you what do you think of?
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: What do you think of jd Vance trolling Trump? Do
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: you think that jd Vance is trying to get his job?
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: Did you see what he did? He's been trolling Trump
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: about the Weinstein I mean the Epstein birthday card.
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: Please tell I don't know so jd Vance.
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: What he did was they've been sending ruper Murdoch owns
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal, and so Rupert Murdoch has been
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: fucking with Trump. Him and Trump have been like bashing,
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: but he can't bash him on Fox News, so he's
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: been doing it through the Wall Street Journal. And he's
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: the one that published the that Trump sent that birthday
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: letter in to Epstein and Trump's like, I never sent
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: a letter. I can't even read write. So so anyway, JD.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: Vance gets on to his truth social and he's like,
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: this is horrible. Who can publish a story? We need
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: to see the letter, like you need to because he
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: knows that Rupert Murdoch has the letter, and so he's
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: making it out like nah. So JD Vance is like,
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: let's see the letter. And I don't think Trump wants
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: the letter out there. I see like JD. Van's doing
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: like dirty shit, low handed and then behind Trump's back
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: like that, and I don't think Trump is catching on.
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: What do you think about? And this has really got
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: everybody worked up, And I hope you're taking your blood
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: pressure medication this week because this has got everybody just
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: really going.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: Cracker barrel, cracker barrel, what's going on? Cracker barrel?
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: They're changing their logo. They're removing the barrel and the
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: white guy the man from its logo, the one and
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: the way.
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: They're gonna call it white barrel now white man in barrel.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: The one on the left is the one that we
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: all know. The one on the right is going to
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: be the new one. And this should Trump ask them
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: to change the NAD don't know.
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Whatever man, that's a I mean, but
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: I look at that. That's a that's their business decision.
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: They're a private business. Whatever Will. It's either gonna help
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: them or it's gonna go away. What Will. Either way,
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: it's it's causing a stir. People are talking about cracker barrel.
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: Will White has an in.
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know, some crazy He's got an unbelievable observation
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: here that it's missed all of us, he says, and
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: I'm quoting here, and this is beautiful. That dude is yellow.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: Will. Oh yeah, he's not even a crack as. He's
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: not even white. He's yellow. Huh.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think any of us realized.
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: I just, I mean, just look at that, that simple thing.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: A business has decided on its own to change its logo, rebrand,
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: maybe change his name. And rebrand and look at the
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: people get upset over that.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: Well, just apparently apparently people have been criticizing Cracker Barrel
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: Now for a long time, and they say they need
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: to come up with them more.
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because the last time I went to Cracker barrel
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: Is it was almost dead inside of there. I went
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: down South, So they have to do something. Maybe this
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: will work for them, maybe it won't. Who knows. I
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: don't know that it's a great marketing strategy because most
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: of their places are down south. True, so you try
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: to market to the people in your demographic. I mean,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: changing the name up here in Vermont might work well
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: for business. I don't know that in Alabama, Georgia, South
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: Carolina it's gonna make that much. It's probably gonna go
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: the opposite way.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: Remember when Coke created New Coke.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: I'm just asking, didn't that killed the business when they
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: almost they.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: Took a bank, They took a hit, it took it.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, change is always risky.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: One, but why are we upset about it? And we're
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: upset about it Rex, this is something that's I'm outraged
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: to now. Fuck it, I outraged, horrible.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: I don't want the rest of your day to be
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: ruined or affected negatively because of cracker barrel wrecks. Just
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: pull yourself.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: He ruin me, ruin me like a small white man
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: on his first day in prison. You ruin me?
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: What else do we have?
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: I'm just glancing here, something else to get me going.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: The New York appeals we got locally going on. I
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: hate that. I like this shit.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, hold on the big one, the New York Kpeals

  Speaker 1: Court yesterday.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they told me he didn't have to pay the fine.

  Speaker 2: Now it is a ridiculous fine.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: I'm five hundred and twenty seven million dollars.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they'll bring it back, they'll bring it
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: down to a reasonable and he'll still be a fellon.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: He'll still have to pay a fine. He just won't
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: have to pay the five hundred million. That's the nice
• 1:01:48
