Thanks. Hated.
3:10

3:12
It's. People will pay for that.
3:15
I think the sponsors are going to be like, what?
3:18
What? What?
3:21
Yeah. No, they've they've definitely
3:24
especially like someone like Delta.
3:28
And I don't even mean the hotels.
3:29
I mean the like the plane, like the airline Delta.
3:33
They've sponsored some pretty terrible podcasts.
3:36
Like I know well, Hassan for one, but no, I'm kidding.
3:45
There's a there's one. I can't remember his name.
3:47
He actually became like he got his 15 minutes for trolling
3:55
Hassan and now he has his own podcast that I mean, massive
4:02
names are going on and I just, it blows my mind.
4:06
I just, I just can't understand it.
4:09
Oh, that's the that's the thing. Like you can get it.
4:12
You can get the fame in one one way and then all of a sudden
4:17
it's just boom. It's so it's so weird that like
4:21
a troll on Hassan that and then at the moment when it happened
4:26
was like everybody's like, what the hell was that?
4:28
And then eventually the kid just became that persona, that
4:32
character, and that's his character now.
4:36
Like it's ridiculous. I've no idea what you guys are
4:41
even talking. About.
4:43
I don't know who the person is, but I know who it is.
4:45
She's That makes sense. She's like, I beg you, move on.
4:47
I was like. I don't.
4:48
Know. Who or what you guys are talking
4:51
about? But got so much done this week
4:58
I'm. Excited Blinded this week?
5:00
Oh yeah, I almost got blinded. Can you see that on my forehead?
5:03
It's right there. It's just one tiny little spot.
5:07
So I walked into a fence that had a pretty much an anti
5:14
climbing rig on it and the the tongs, the pointy barbs that are
5:20
like 2 inches long, they face out and in so out away from the
5:25
property and then down. And I was walking straight up to
5:29
this fence and I literally caught one of the prongs right
5:32
here right above my eye, like touching my eyebrow.
5:36
And then it scraped across my face 'cause I kept like before I
5:40
knew what was happening it was already stabbing me in the face.
5:44
If it was, I'm not kidding, a fingernail lower it would have
5:48
gone into my eye like it was. I was pissed.
5:52
Dude, that's crazy. I wasn't even supposed to be
5:56
over there and doing all that. And I was like, OK, all right,
6:01
I'm done now. I understand.
6:03
Yeah. I was like, I'm universe please.
6:04
I'm done now. That's a good way for the
6:08
universe to tell you no, yeah. Fuck off, stop doing what you're
6:10
doing at. All.
6:11
Hang out for a second. Relax.
6:13
Breathe. Yeah, that's a That's a punch in
6:19
the face if I've ever seen one pissed.
6:22
Literally. Literally.
6:23
It was so close, man. I was like, Oh my God, that
6:26
could have been disastrous. Very easily.
6:31
I say but no, no issues this week apart from almost losing an
6:39
eye and I'm not inviting the universe to give me more issues.
6:44
But good week, really good week. I'm excited for next week too.
6:48
Hopefully we can get everything that we've been working on
6:54
together and and get it going. Same with everybody else that
6:58
I've been given a hand to. Hopefully I can help them out
7:01
next week and get that done too. I'm excited.
7:05
I've got a dude who's going to do our logo for this podcast
7:10
that I got to get in contact with.
7:14
I've kind of given him an idea of what I would like to see, at
7:17
least for the very beginning stages.
7:19
Yeah. And he said he's down.
7:22
I just need to give him like, full instructions.
7:25
And he'll give us a vector image of everything and we'll at least
7:29
get a logo going. I know this is podcast #3 but.
7:33
Yeah, should have one already. We.
7:36
Should have one already, but we got the name.
7:39
We need some fan art from the non fans.
7:42
Yeah, the two people that are going to be listening to this
7:46
episode. I can't.
7:47
I can't wait for. The fan.
7:49
I can't wait for the fanfic. Oh my God I'm excited.
7:56
Vector. He was one of my favorite
7:58
villains of all time. From Despicable Me, Yes.
8:02
Why? I don't know.
8:03
Because he was the weirdest character that who does
8:10
Despicable Me? Is it Nickelodeon?
8:12
I don't even know who does that animation.
8:14
DreamWorks, I believe. Was it so?
8:16
Yeah. I mean, they're the the goat.
8:18
Steve Carell is. Like DreamWorks is the GOAT do.
8:21
You know who voices Vector? Vector vector vector.
8:24
No, no, it's out of my head. But he he's one of my favorites
8:28
like. Steve Carell is grew.
8:29
The character of Steve Carell. The office.
8:36
You'll never guess is. That his last name?
8:38
Michael, Yeah. I know Steve Carell.
8:40
I just I for. It's weird.
8:42
Not it's like not seeing his name.
8:44
Yeah, when it's spoken sounds completely wrong.
8:47
Who's vector? I want you to throw out some
8:49
guesses. Franklin Delano.
8:53
If it were me, I would like immediately go to Jonah Hill.
8:58
You're close, ish. I feel like that's Seth.
9:01
Rogen. No.
9:02
No. But it's in the same.
9:06
It's in the same. Oh, Bill Hader.
9:09
No, but that is a good. That is.
9:14
That's who I would have guessed. Yeah, another good one would
9:20
probably be Samberg. I me personally, I don't think
9:24
this guy is a good actor. Shade.
9:28
Yeah, we gotta say who it is now.
9:30
We gotta throw one more out. Why one more?

11:03
He makes that sound come out of his face for Vector.
11:06
Oh. Yeah.
11:07
I would hate to make that voice. He sounds nothing like that.
11:11
That's crazy. Yeah, he's a big dude.
11:15
Yeah, he is. He's gotta he's gonna bring his
11:17
voice all the way down. Did you know the kids that?
11:20
Up I guess. In Knocked Up like.
11:25
Hated that movie. Yeah, I.
11:26
Know, but you know the kids not. Even like thanks hated it.
11:28
Like hated that movie. The daughters.
11:31
Don't even. I don't even know the movie.
11:32
I hate that movie. I hate it so much.
11:34
It's that's his kid. The 40 year old virgin, knocked
11:36
up, Jack and Jill make a porno. All of them.
11:39
I hate those movies. All of the all of the old ones
11:42
by really good director, I can't remember who he does a bunch of
11:50
them. I don't.
11:51
I don't know that. Whole crowd of Seth Rogen and
11:53
Paul Rudd and all those guys, He does them all.
11:56
I just can't remember his name. But I can't stand those movies
12:00
from the early 2000s. I thought Pineapple Express was.
12:02
Overrated. Oh, he doesn't have biological
12:05
kids? I don't know if that's
12:06
overrated. That's a really good movie.
12:09
Like it's also sentimental because obviously I was higher
12:13
than. Yeah, I think it's, I think it's
12:15
overrated. I think it's a good movie, but I
12:17
don't think it's a great movie. And a lot of people say it's a
12:20
great movie. I would think it's just good.
12:26
It's not spectacular in any way, shape or form.
12:30
Do you think it did something for the culture?
12:35
Like it actually was like, OK, because of Pineapple Express, we
12:38
have these movies. You know what I mean?
12:42
I don't think it did anything for the culture, but it gave
12:46
Seth Rogen a. Oh yeah.
12:50
It gave Seth Rogen a a career. Yeah, Which I mean, good for
12:54
him. Like I said, I don't think it's
12:56
a bad movie. Do you remember Amber Heard in
12:58
that movie? No, I don't remember.
13:00
She's the high schooler that he's dating.
13:02
In Pineapple Express. In Pineapple Express.
13:05
Dude, so gross. She's in a good 30 minutes of
13:09
that movie. It was crazy.
13:11
I was. Like really so much.
13:13
I hate her as a person. Hate her but.
13:17
She she did do a good job in one of my favorite thrillers.
13:22
Is that Zombieland? No.
13:24
Did you know she was in Zombieland?
13:25
No. She's the one who gets the back
13:27
of the toilet, knocking her jaw off.
13:30
Beautiful. That's Amber Heard.
13:32
That was. When she apt 13 or whatever it
13:36
is, he's like OB13's here. Yeah.
13:38
And he's like trying to get. She's like help me, help me.
13:40
And she comes in and then turns into his own.
13:42
That's Amber Heard. I did not realize that.
13:46
I haven't seen it. I don't lot of.
13:47
Supporting roles. Somebody was telling me the
13:50
other day that, yeah, oh, I mean, whole lot of shit.
13:56
Somebody told me the other day that she she did a great job in
14:01
the newest What's the one she was in as Myrna?
14:06
Myrna Aquaman. Oh.
14:09
But it was an Aquaman. Yeah, I don't.
14:12
They did like a new Superman thing and apparently she did
14:15
like really well. I was like, I haven't seen a
14:20
Superman in 15 years. Batman versus Superman was the
14:24
last one that I saw. I think it was 2012.
14:27
Yeah, I don't think I. I don't plan on watching
14:29
anything with her in it post trial.
14:33
Like I'm not, I mean, I'm not going to buy anything with her
14:36
in it post trial. Like I already have some stuff
14:40
that she's in and so I'm not going to like burn the stuff,
14:44
but I'm not going to go and support her anymore.
14:47
You know, I was thinking about, I was thinking about this the
14:49
other day. They've edited and they've cut
14:53
and they've recut and they've re edited all these movies that I
14:59
used to watch that are like way too much now and.
15:05
Oh, like all your favorite movies?
15:07
Yeah, like, all of my favorites are all edited and cut and
15:09
edited and cut and edited and cut.
15:11
And even on like a streaming platform, they don't play the
15:14
real movie because the real movie is insane.
15:17
And it's like, where do I get the real movie?
15:21
I don't want to buy a physical copy.
15:23
I don't have something to play it.
15:24
Physical copies is where it's at.
15:27
Who has something to play that? He does not a PlayStation.
15:31
So the other thing too, I've always.
15:34
You can also buy a Blu-ray player for like 50 bucks and
15:40
it's HDMI. It can play Blu rays.
15:42
It can play DVDs. Can I download like?
15:46
Is utorrent still a thing? Probably.
15:48
When's the last? I mean, it's torrenting stuff
15:51
has become popular again because everybody has a streaming
15:56
service now. And they take them off and put
15:58
them back on. Yeah.
15:59
And every everything is it's. Edited and caught and chopped.
16:02
So people are going back to pirating so.
16:05
I'm part of the movement, yeah. I'm the resistance.
16:10
I've always wanted to see to show you Dogma.
16:14
Yeah, 'cause I've always wanted to watch it as an adult.
16:17
I heard that's an insane like a. Fantastic, fantastic.
16:21
One of the best movies ever made.
16:22
Kind of. Thing it's one of my I think my
16:25
mom or my dad are both one of their favorite movies and I
16:29
wanted to see it as an adult. You cannot stream it anywhere
16:33
because of the producer. It's not the right one and I'm
16:39
gonna show my. Was that Weinstein?
16:42
I was gonna say Winehouse. Yeah, Jesus Christ.
16:44
Maybe Winehouse produced it. So I think that's one of the
16:50
movies that he produced. Yeah, but he doesn't have like
16:54
any part in it or something. Yeah, I mean, that's the same
17:00
with Woody Allen. Woody Allen, what did he do?
17:06
Married his daughter. Did he really?
17:08
Yeah. Is that the guy from Employee of
17:12
the Month? Employee of the month?
17:17
Yeah. Is that the one with DAX?
17:18
Shepard Cook. Dax Shepard.
17:20
Yeah. Woody Allen's in that I.
17:23
Don't think so. I thought so.
17:25
I don't, I don't leave them right.
17:27
There be insane if Woody Allen was an employee of the month.
17:31
It's right there. Yeah.
17:34
Is he really? I think who am I thinking of?
17:42
Well, I guess this is the This is the Entertainment episode all
17:45
about movies. I guess I don't.
17:53
Jessica Simpson was in it. I forgot she was in it.
17:56
Comment. Leave it, are you?
17:57
Thinking Andy Dick. Yep.
18:00
That's. Not remotely the same.
18:03
Oh my God, I saw. I saw.
18:06
Woody Dick. I saw Andy Dick.
18:10
Andy Allen, the second line. Of the cast and I was like,
18:13
that's got to be who she's talking that's.
18:14
So funny I was. Like, there's no way.
18:18
So funny. Woody Allen and Andy Dick up.
18:21
You know what's the saddest thing in the world?
18:22
Me. And no, you're hilarious.
18:26
The saddest thing in the world. And I don't support anything
18:31
that he's done. Andy Dick.
18:34
But the drugs? Oh my gosh.
18:38
Hook that man. Oh my gosh.
18:40
And I, I, I don't support him. I, I think he deserves
18:43
everything that he's got now. But Jesus, the drugs took him
18:48
like goodness, like when people are like, it's a, it's a disease
18:52
at bat. He got he got it bad man, and it
18:57
it sucks too, because he was in community, the TV show and he he
19:01
was doing great and he looked great.
19:03
And it was this like he had a like a long standing role for a
19:07
couple episodes and I was watching the stuff as it came
19:11
out. He was like he was living in an
19:15
RV with a dude. I'm I'm assuming some kind of
19:19
drugs involved because they had their whole other thing and I
19:23
guess they were paying people to be like not not ex celebrities,
19:28
but like down on their luck celebrities.
19:31
They were paying them to come into this house or come into the
19:34
RV and literally just live stream while they're just doing
19:39
stuff being in the RV and talking like hours at a time.
19:43
And they'd pay them 500 bucks to be on the stream.
19:46
And because it's a an down and out celebrity, it got a bunch of
19:52
views and a bunch of donations and a bunch of money.
19:55
And by the end of it, these guys were making 10 grand off of a
19:59
live stream and they'd pay Andy Dick 500 bucks.
20:03
And come to find out he's like creeping into people's houses
20:08
and like, I mean, sexually assaulting people like left and
20:13
right. And now he's like completely
20:15
blackballed. Like, no, absolutely not.
20:18
You are. The worst little monster that's
20:21
been around like don't come back, don't ask again.
20:23
Like it's it's crazy. Same thing with Chevy Chase.
20:27
Dude I I used. To you liked a lot of this stuff
20:32
that he did. I don't like the National
20:35
Lampoon stuff. But everything other than.
20:38
Christmas vacation is the best. Everything but National Lampoon
20:41
with Chevy Chase, all of his other stuff, I'm I'm happy to
20:44
watch it or was. And now he's just such a Dick
20:48
like God, I can't watch his shit anymore.
20:52
Which is also a shame because he he was great in community.
20:55
Same show, same thing you get around Dan Harmon, man.
21:00
He just shows people who you actually are.
21:02
Like it's he's too meta. He just becomes the aura around
21:08
you. Like no, I I can't imagine
21:12
working with. I literally can't imagine
21:14
working with Dan Harmon like that dude.
21:17
He, he reminds me of Tolkien. Yeah, like, not that like
21:22
metaphysical, but like, he just has that thing about him.
21:25
Like, I barely want to talk to you because you're you're
21:30
1,000,000 miles away at all times.
21:32
Like I can never bring you back down to earth to have a
21:35
conversation. He's just just wigged out at all
21:38
times. Like I I assume but.
21:43
I feel the same way. Middle Earth.
21:46
Middle Earth. Jesus Christ.
21:47
I feel the same way about it's. Good.
21:51
Oh, what's his face? I see his.
21:53
I see his stupid face right now. His stupid face.
21:56
His stupid face. What's he in?
21:59

22:05
Yeah, the Zuck, I feel like he just every, everything that I
22:11
saw when he was trying to get like people to like him again.
22:16
The surfing with the fucking American flag in a suit.
22:20
Not before. How out of touch or that are you
22:23
like? Did you see his live streams in
22:27
his home? Yes.
22:28
What was? Behind him, sweet baby rays.
22:31
A gallon of sweet baby rays. It was like unopened.
22:34
Unopened on a shelf in his living room or offense or
22:39
something. I don't understand.
22:42
And. I think he's like #4 richest.
22:45
Yeah, something like that. He.
22:46
Doesn't know what that is. He doesn't eat that no like.
22:51
He just was like, go buy me something that the common people
22:55
like the. Poor the.
22:57
Poor. Oh, cool, this is, this is cool.
23:02
I'll set this up on the shelf so people understand.
23:04
It's like, why would you do that?
23:06
I think everybody thought the same thing.
23:08
They're like, this dude is clearly an alien.
23:11
Like they couldn't be more. Clear.
23:14
I like the robot thought process on it, especially since he would
23:21
like combat it and make him look even more like a robot because
23:25
he's oh, I'm not, I'm not a robot.
23:27
I like smoking meats, guys. Oh my God, I remember that one.
23:32
Yeah, Oh yeah. He was out smoking meats and he
23:34
was trying to talk about it and getting everything.
23:37
Wrong, he went on. Rogan, yeah.
23:40
He was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I definitely go out and I bow
23:43
hunt. And he was like, oh, what kind
23:44
of bow you use? He's like, I don't know.
23:45
He's like, what do you hunt? He's like, I don't know.
23:48
He's just. I'm assuming he had a guide, but
23:52
at a certain like. Or it was virtual?
23:55
That's a good point. Well, no.
23:56
It's meta. At least if it's virtual, you
23:59
could be like, yeah, I want this one with the grip and the this
24:02
munch tensile strength and da da da da da like he's.
24:04
Trying to test it out or he has people to test it out.
24:07
He's like, Oh yeah, I love bow hunting.
24:09
It's like, Oh yeah. Which one do you like?
24:12
The one that people like? Yeah, the.
24:14
One that people like. Yeah, the metaverse.
24:18
What kind of animals do you hunt?
24:21
There's animals. I thought it was people like
24:23
what do you? Mean.
24:24
Oh my God, that's right. He's talking about GTA5.
24:28
Long pig. That's the meaty smokes his long
24:32
pig. Oh my God.
24:34
The one we're. Going to have to put a like.
24:38
Trigger warning. A warning on this episode, none
24:42
of what we say is. Actual.
24:44
Actual thing about Mark Zuckerberg we love you Mark
24:48
Zuckerberg please send our podcasts out to everyone I.
24:51
Wonder, I wonder if like they're AIS like Grok and whatever he's
24:57
using for Meta, like if it just constantly scans, that's like
25:02
100%. You said his name.
25:04
Yeah, you said his name. 100% it's already known very well
25:08
that Facebook listens into conversations.
25:11
Well, I'm saying like do they actually like do the AI scan the
25:16
Internet for like audio files or?
25:19
Like 100 percent, 100 percent, 100%.
25:23
I wonder if you could game that like an algorithm.
25:24
Probably. I was, I was looking at it the
25:27
other day. They said something, something
25:30
like something Bernie Sanders. Yeah, they said the top, there's
25:45
like 8 people that own like 90% of the stock market and the
25:50
other 10% own like 8% of the stock market.
25:53
It's like or 90% own eight. It was some kind of Bernie
25:56
Sanders thing, the 1% and the other 1% own the 1%.
26:03
But I was like so who gives a shit if it falls 20%?
26:09
Like your 4O1K drops 15 grand. You're still only 100 grand I.
26:14
Still love, love the Bernie Sanders talking like every
26:23
speech he did. And then when it came out he was
26:25
a multimillionaire, it went from we need to tax the rich, the
26:29
millionaires. It went from that to we need to
26:31
tax the billionaires as soon as it came out that he was a
26:36
multimillionaire like. God I think I voted for him like
26:42
20-12 maybe. He was. 2016.
26:46
Was it 2016? 2016 was his was his year that
26:50
he got like railroaded by the Democrat.
26:53
Oh, then that was the one. Yeah.
26:54
Because they literally were like.
26:55
They they literally shut him down so that they could put
26:58
Clinton up. I still.
27:00
You were a felon in 2012. You weren't able to vote. 2012
27:05
was I. You were 19.
27:08
No, no, no, it got expunged. I think the only the only ones
27:14
who were able to see it at that point were like the FBI and
27:16
Disney, 'cause they used the FBI just.
27:18
Totally kidding. You were never an actual felon.
27:22
I definitely was you sure yes it was a Class 2 felony yes yes it
27:27
was no, it was definitely on that record No, they at 18 they
27:32
expunged it. I.
27:33
Swear you were like 17. When it happened, I was 15.
27:39
It changes every. It does not.
27:41
You always say. Absolutely not.
27:43
It happened at 15. You said 18 at one point, No,
27:46
Yes you did. I feel so left out right now,
27:49
not even get a lot. She's got her back to me and you
27:52
guys are. Just talking, I'm so sorry.
27:57
I wish you guys could see this because this is like, this is my
28:01
life. No, I I that's fine.
28:03
But. It's been a long week.
28:05
This is this is my life. Yeah, we we definitely need the
28:07
studio. We need the studio in A in AV
28:11
shape or AU shape or something like that.
28:13
But this'll do the the living room.
28:16
I'll make sure to have a IS working.
28:20
We need foot rest for Amber so she doesn't have to turn her
28:23
back to me. We need, I'm so sorry, we need
28:26
RV chairs. The swivel ones, yes.
28:31
Just sit there and swivel the whole time.
28:34
I'll just buy a. I'll just buy two more of that
28:36
desk chair that I got with the foot rest out and we'll just
28:39
like set that up as our Yeah, those will work.
28:43
That's what Rogan uses. No, but I got arrested at 15 and
28:50
one of the charges was like a Class 2 or whatever, the second
28:55
one felony. And it was, I mean, it was a big
28:59
deal. And then at 18 it was expunged
29:01
and I, I applied to Disney and they were like, hey, look what
29:06
we found. I was like, Oh my God, they used
29:08
the FBI. I was like, holy shit.
29:11
I was like, everybody else is like legally I don't think they
29:15
can even are allowed to like see that expunged record.
29:19
And Disney was like, hey, look, look, look, look.
29:21
I was like, Oh my God, they were like so fast.
29:24
It was like a week later I was like, holy shit, man.
29:26
They were on top of that. But you know, I was like, I
29:32
think it was breaking and entering and burglary, burglary,
29:37
burglary of a structure with a weapon.
29:41
The weapon was a pocket knife. Oh fantastic.
29:44
Of course. And that, that's the thing.
29:46
It wasn't even like at the time. It was after the fact.
29:52
And they're like, do you have that with you?
29:53
I was like, I always have a pocket knife with me.
29:55
I'm a 15 year old boy in the South.
29:58
Like. I sleep with it and they're
30:00
like, well, since you had it on you and you told us you had it
30:02
on you, that's another one. And I'm like, oh, you don't you
30:06
be like that. Hi.
30:10
She's just knocking everything over.
30:11
Yeah. That's my dog who's.
30:15
Your little baby. Who's your little baby?
30:18
He's got some inputs on that topic.
30:24
He's like your alarm went off, it's time.
30:28
I was hoping we'd get get through one before I had to feed
30:31
them babies. We got we're about halfway
30:35
through this one. Yeah, that'll be all right.
30:39
I am excited, man, for next week.
30:42
We got so much stuff going on and so much stuff to do and so
30:46
much stuff to get done. But it's, it's all, it's all
30:49
moving right along. We got everything signed today
30:51
and we're probably going to go back to the CPA and finish the
30:56
24 and get all that done too. And boats worked out.
31:01
And. Containers worked out.
31:04
Hopefully we're we're just moving right along next week.
31:08
I'm, I'm stoked. I'm so stoked.
31:10
Everything's finally moving like it should be.
31:13
Well, it's nice to have that snowball effect whenever you get
31:16
that, like that ball rolling it. Took just.
31:19
Oh, it took a while. Oh yeah, I mean it always like.
31:22
Three years. But it's nice that that's,
31:26
that's rolling right along and I feel like that's, that's going
31:32
that way for me too. I mean, it's just I'm, I'm a lot
31:37
earlier in the process than where you guys are with your,
31:40
your stuff. But I feel that, you know, that
31:45
small ball is is starting to roll a little bit.
31:48
Yeah, so. I wish I could do that with
31:50
debt. Yeah, that's my my least
31:55
snowball Y task is debt, man. I just cannot get ahead of that
31:59
stuff. I'm still, I'm still debating on
32:01
whether or not I want to do the bankruptcy.
32:03
I say we were talking about it today.
32:05
It's like, well, I mean, at this point it's been 5 or 6 years,
32:11
five years since COVID. And I mean, it is what it is,
32:16
but at, at a certain point, stuff's just going to start
32:19
falling off. And if I do the bankruptcy now,
32:22
it'll be, would you say 7 to 9 years I.
32:25
Think. So that it stays on the I mean,
32:29
I don't know, maybe I just wait it out, who knows.
32:31
It just sucks man, having that debt over your head.
32:35
It's just stressor. At any, at any point they can
32:38
come up, it's a multibillion dollar corporation.
32:41
At any time they could be like, well, we'll take that.
32:44
They just take it from me like it's a, it's a stressor, man.
32:48
I'm, I'm hoping, I'm hoping sooner than later I can really
32:54
get that like snowballed because as soon as the debt's gone,
32:57
dude, I, I'm free and clear. I'm I'm ready to actually start
33:01
like doing some stuff and it sucks that it got that bad, but
33:07
you give a kid a credit card. Happens to the best.
33:09
Of us, yeah. You give.
33:10
You give a kid like 9 credit cards and personal loans and
33:14
student debt and car loans and mortgages.
33:19
It wasn't my student debt. I.
33:21
Didn't even get the freaking degree out of it, but you, you
33:24
just say yes to a kid, literally a kid.
33:27
And of course they're going to take the freaking money 'cause
33:30
they don't understand what compounding interest on every
33:35
$1000. Like it just adds up and adds
33:37
up. I think at one point man, I
33:39
swear to you, at one point I think I had like 350,000 in
33:42
debt. Including a house I was.
33:44
Like 25 Yeah, with $350,000 in debt.
33:48
How do you do that dude? That's crazy.
33:51
Most of that. Wasn't able to get debt since I
33:53
was 18. Most of that was a house, and
33:57
half of it was also like me too. It wasn't just you as you and
34:04
me. Our debt as a a marriage total.
34:07
But that's including two cars, a house, and I think like four or
34:14
five credit cards together. I say we had a personal loan.
34:20
We had God, we had so much shit it.
34:23
It's just crazy. It was seven years, dude.
34:26
I didn't. I didn't even get a credit card
34:27
till I was 18. And in seven years, it was 350
34:30
grand. Oh my God.
34:33
What do you mean? Like how, how does how does a
34:36
multi, I don't know how they do it 'cause they're evil.
34:39
But how, how is it legal for them to be like, yeah, yeah, we
34:42
know his finances. Like he had to send us his tax
34:45
return to get this approved. So we know what his finances
34:48
are. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:49
Totally approve him for another 50 grand.
34:51
He'll definitely pay it back. Like he he'll pay it back.
34:55
It's, I think it's something like 18 years on a credit card.
35:00
I'm like, what are you talking about?
35:02
Like. It's it's less about, Oh yeah,
35:06
he'll pay it back. It's more about, Oh yeah, he'll
35:08
pay it back forever, forever so that we can continue to collect
35:13
interest on interest. Or if he doesn't, we'll
35:16
immediately sell off it and we'll make the money back
35:19
anyways. Who cares?
35:20
Bury him. Yeah.
35:21
I, I'm, I wish I had to listen to everybody, everybody when I
35:28
was younger and just heard what they said because I heard every
35:31
one of them do not get a credit card, don't even get 1.
35:34
And I was like, eh, it won't be that bad.
35:35
So I got one. I was like, I'll get another
35:37
one. We need a new washer and dryer.
35:39
I need another this. I need something of that.
35:42
We, we need a trip overseas. I'll just put it on a credit
35:46
card like a moron and then yeah, it eats you alive, man.
35:52
It's also like the, the inflationary of your lifestyle.
35:57
You're like, well, I can do this and I can do that and I can do
35:59
this and I can do that. And then by the time you buy
36:02
your first house, you're like, Oh my God, I didn't even think
36:05
about like the $900 in credit card payments every month.
36:10
That could be a mortgage like, or at least back then it was a
36:14
mortgage. Our first house I think the
36:16
mortgage was like 980 a month. Yeah.
36:18
That was 2016. 2015. Yeah.
36:25
So 2015, just think about that. In 10 years it went from 980 a
36:31
month to 4 grand. We are doomed again.
36:37
I don't care that that it dropped 20%.
36:39
I hope it drops 50. I hope we have a great reset and
36:42
a Great Depression like I hope. I hope everybody gets into
36:45
trades. I hope the Lehman Brothers esque
36:48
equity, the private equity firms, I hope they all fold.
36:51
I hope they all get short shorted and margin called and
36:55
and other big words I've learned from Wolf of Wall Street.
37:00
I think it's. What a movie.
37:02
Love that movie. Yes, fantastic movie.
37:07
I I I definitely had luck because I had ACPA as a mother.
37:13
So it was good point. Very much like Nah and it also
37:19
helped that I wasn't allowed to have a real job until after I
37:25
graduated high school 'cause my parents wanted me to and, and
37:30
all of my siblings, they wanted us to experience high school
37:35
without having to have the looming, you know, requirements
37:39
of job. So we did like summer jobs.
37:41
So I like I did umpiring and did work at the baseball and soccer
37:47
fields at the, you know, park and, you know, stuff like.
37:50
That Did you ever cut grass? Did I ever cut grass there?
37:53
No, we weren't allowed to. What?
37:55
Because they had. Like on the field.
37:58
Yeah. Oh.
37:58
I see. Yeah.
38:00
I never cut grass though. I, I mean, I cut my own like
38:02
yard, but I got to cut grass that way 'cause I was doing the
38:07
umpiring baseball, you know, all the sports.
38:09
And I want one of those Rotary mowers so bad.
38:11
Yeah, just the push Rotary. Oh my God, man, I don't know
38:15
when I'd ever use it, but I want one.
38:16
They're pretty. Oh yeah, they're.
38:17
It's like an old hot rod. They're so pretty, like it's old
38:20
school. It's so nice.
38:21
But. Mechanical.
38:23
That's I, I obviously everybody can't have the same upbringing
38:28
as everybody else, but if, if, if at all possible, I think
38:31
that's the best way to do it. Yeah, if you want to stay in
38:34
school because I, I I just couldn't do it, man.
38:37
I just could not do it. I could not be in that setting.
38:40
I just wasn't for me. I wasn't fond of it, but a lot
38:46
of what I wanted to do, like I wanted to play baseball my
38:50
senior year. Yeah, I very easily could have
38:53
just graduated at the end of my junior year because when I
38:57
moved, the requirements for graduation were different at the
39:00
school I moved to my senior year than it was my junior year.
39:04
Those Catholic schools that move you around?
39:08
But yeah, so I I could have, but I was like, Nah, I want to play
39:11
baseball. So that was the only reason I
39:12
stayed in for my senior year. Yeah, for Foley was because I
39:18
wanted to play baseball and because I knew that was it.
39:23
I wasn't going anywhere, you know, that was it for me.
39:26
So no, it, it, they, they raised it the right way because I still
39:34
had to work on the farm. So I went down to my
39:37
grandparents farm and talked with chores and that's that type
39:40
of stuff. I still had to, you know, I had
39:43
a list of chores. We were responsible for mowing
39:47
the grass, you know, different things, doing the umpiring in
39:54
the summer, doing baseball field work, soccer field work, you
39:58
know, helping around with that, with the youth leagues, like all
40:03
of that different stuff. But I did not have a real per SE
40:11
job, like not even in a restaurant until after I
40:14
graduated high school and I was in college because they they
40:18
were like, we will pay for the stuff required for school and
40:22
that, but you're going to experience.
40:29
High school, so you're going to be allowed to go to the
40:32
different events that the school has and you know.
40:36
I went the other way. Yeah, I worked under the table
40:39
since I was like 15, probably like earlier, like 13.
40:43
And I, I did construction, I did demo, I did drywall, I did tile,
40:47
I did plumbing, electrical, landscaping, literally
40:51
landscaping forever years. I was landscaping for everybody.
40:55
And by the time I turned 18, I'm like, this is a scam.
40:59
Why would I go to college? I have so much money.
41:02
I was like, I could just do this with what I have now.
41:06
I don't need the piece of paper and I haven't yet.
41:08
I'll say nobody's checked me on it yet.
41:11
I did. I did management for a multi
41:14
billion dollar company. No one ever checked.
41:17
Yeah, there they were. Like, we don't care.
41:19
You do a great job. You've been doing it for three
41:21
years. You make a ton of money.
41:23
I say the only reason I left because I got hurt.
41:25
I'd, I'd still be in UPS if I didn't get hurt.
41:29
I say I I just didn't. I didn't like the, the school.
41:31
I didn't like the atmosphere. I didn't like the, I just
41:34
couldn't do it, man. I couldn't, I couldn't sit in
41:35
the damn classroom as soon as that door shut, man.
41:38
I felt like that scene out of Peaky Blinders where Cillians
41:42
got a gun in his mouth. Get Me Out of here.
41:46
Oh my God, I just couldn't. I couldn't handle it man.
41:50
And it's not for everyone. But yeah, I mean, it's that's
41:56
the that's the whole thing, though.
41:57
Like I was I was taught I did not get a credit card until Do
42:04
you mind like licking my leg? Get his foot, get him cruise.
42:08
Do not get my foot. Get him cruise.
42:10
But I did not get my first credit card until two years
42:17
after I graduate. I was 20 when I got my first
42:20
credit card. And that was a store credit
42:22
card. So it doesn't even really count.
42:25
And I only got it because I was working at Kohl's at the time
42:28
and I just got it to do another credit application.
42:33
Oh yeah. We, we hit our limit for the the
42:36
day. Yay.
42:38
And then I never used it. I think they cancelled it on me
42:42
because I never used it. They're like, yeah, we don't.
42:46
We don't want to spend money on you anymore.
42:48
That was my problem. I had two secured when I got out
42:52
of high school. And then I had Citi card, I had
42:55
Amex, I had Merrick, I had everybody.
42:57
And then Amex was like, hey, you're 25, you want an $8000
43:01
limit. I was like, yeah, yes, I do.
43:04
And then I ran that thing all the way up.
43:06
Yeah, I'd I'd absolutely cratered my credit.
43:09
Yeah, that's rough. I still don't know what I want
43:14
to do. I'll figure it out soon here.
43:17
I mean, we got the return done. So now I can actually start
43:19
moving along with it. I'm still paying the attorney.
43:23
I've been paying the attorney since last September.
43:25
They they stopped messaging me in December because I quit
43:28
replying. They're like, Hey, when when are
43:30
you going to get us these documents?
43:31
I'm like, I will, I'll have time next week.
43:34
And we were still going back and forth to Boca.
43:36
So it's like I'll get it when I get it.
43:39
And I never did get it. So they just stopped.
43:41
They stopped reaching out, but they keep taking the money every
43:44
month. They're like, we'll just take it
43:46
until he's done. And then when he's ready to do
43:48
it, he'll have the the account full and we'll just do it for
43:51
him. But I just, I still haven't done
43:52
anything. I don't know.
43:59
It's been so long. It's been so long, at a certain
44:05
point I can just wait another two years and let it all fall
44:09
off or I can get it done now and then try and fight the
44:12
bankruptcy for another 5-6 years.
44:16
There's a couple things you can do.
44:17
I know it stays on there, but they can actually like, OK,
44:20
since you've done that, you've taken classes, you've done this,
44:23
you've got the certificates, you're clearly you learned your
44:26
lesson. We'll we'll understand.
44:29
Like what happened and you were at a literal child.
44:33
You were a little literal child with alcoholic like dependency
44:39
and we understand the situation. Like everything was fine and
44:43
then COVID and that just that was the camel on the back, man.
44:47
I just couldn't do it anymore. I was like, I can't, I can't
44:50
keep working this job through a pandemic.
44:52
I'm the only one who's not locked inside.
44:55
I'm terrified. And if I have to come back to
44:58
this place for another day, I'll, I'll just lose my mind.
45:03
And that was it. I, I should have done it so
45:05
much, so much more planned. And I wish I, I still wish I had
45:13
like it's, it's one of my regrets.
45:14
It's not a big one, but it's a burg regret.
45:16
I wish I would have taken advantage of what was there for
45:20
me. I wish I had got all my medical
45:22
work done and all my teeth done and had the insurance and got my
45:25
401K maxed out and I just, I was like, I can't do it anymore.
45:29
I just cannot do it anymore. Well, I I truly believe that if
45:36
it's not the right fit, even if you were to stick around and do
45:40
that, you would hate yourself even more right now.
45:44
Oh yeah, no, I wouldn't have made it.
45:46
Yeah, that's why I was drinking so much.
45:49
It was just, it was literally soul crushing, like every day,
45:53
dude. And it was like it was that it
45:55
was that combination of like, I hate, I hate the management, I
46:00
hate the the company as a whole because of how just scummy it
46:05
was. Like I know how bad they treat
46:09
people and it's like I do everything.
46:11
I'm not on that. I'm not even on that side of the
46:12
company. I'm the the logistics side and I
46:16
still see how bad they treat people and how much they're just
46:19
so scummy with it. And I just couldn't do it, man.
46:22
I had AI had one e-mail and I think I saved it on the like
46:28
Outlook at work just in case, just in case, just in case.
46:32
And it was a, a pretty high up employee, like high up.
46:37
And in an e-mail, he actually put in writing, We don't do
46:41
churches. They don't pay.
46:43
I was like, Oh my God, man, if that got out, you would be gone.
46:48
Like, you would no longer work here.
46:51
That's crazy. And this is not at UPS.
46:54
No, not at UPS. No UPS was great.
46:56
I know I just I for the podcast and anybody else?
46:59
No, not UPS. I.
47:01
I it was not UPS. UPS is fantastic.
47:06
Union baby. It's, it's, it's, it's tough.
47:09
It's a Oh my God, it's a terribly rough.
47:12
It broke. Me, yeah, but.
47:15
They actually try to care about their employees, so.
47:22
No, they understood my, my shoulders gave out after like 3
47:26
years and they were like, we'll bump you down like on labor.
47:31
And because you are management, you don't have a union, but we
47:35
understand you're also fucking like you're a killer.
47:38
Like we want you to stay. And if you literally can't do
47:42
the job like that anymore, we'll tweak it a little bit to where
47:46
you don't have to do that exact thing that's hurting you.
47:50
And that, that helped a lot. But man, I, that's another one.
47:55
I wish, I wish I'd have worked it out with them.
47:58
But that's the other thing. The only manager that I had at
48:01
UPS that I had a problem with, and I mean like I had a problem
48:04
with, everybody had a problem with, they moved him around like
48:06
a priest. They moved him from hub to hub
48:09
because he would only last like 6 months before people like I'm
48:12
leaving, I'm walking out, we're all going on strike because of
48:16
that guy. He's a monster.
48:21
What's really funny now I look back on it, that dude was a
48:26
beast. He probably made like a couple
48:31
of those hubs the the absolute juggernaut that they were
48:37
because he was a beast dude. He just, he had the, he had the
48:41
vision, he had the drive. He was one of those guys that
48:44
power walk because it was faster than sprinting.
48:47
He was a crazy person. Like he he would run Iron Man's
48:52
and then come into work after an I, I'm like, what's wrong with
48:56
you? Like he was, he was, he was an
48:58
insane person, But like looking back on it now, like I, I hated
49:02
working for him, but he was the guy who wanted dude.
49:04
He he would make a company. Like and then he left when you
49:08
left. Yeah, of course I got hurt and
49:12
me and him had a, an issue and he was like, well, it's been
49:15
like 3 weeks and I'm like, yeah, it's, it's going to be a little
49:18
bit longer. It's a fractured spine, bud.
49:21
Like I can't get up, I can't walk.
49:24
And he was like, well, it's been like 3 weeks.
49:26
So we're going to have to like let you go.
49:27
And I was like, how about I quit Jackass?
49:29
And I was like, I hung up with him and I called HR and they're
49:32
like, so what's, what's the deal?
49:34
And I'm like, honestly, I didn't even want to come back because
49:36
of this guy. Like I, I'd rather just leave
49:39
and take the benefits with me and that guy can go fuck
49:42
himself. And then, I kid you not, it was
49:44
it was a good two or three months later and everybody was
49:47
like, yay. He left.
49:48
And I was like, no, yeah, I was pissed.
49:53
They they all texted me. They're like, hey, come back.
49:57
He's gone. The last job I had I found out
50:03
well I had an issue with one person in particular and then
50:09
also like higher. UPS company that you and I
50:13
worked at. No, OK, no, there was a, there
50:16
was somewhere between that. But anyways, so she I had an
50:23
issue with her 'cause she was this power hungry person that
50:31
didn't understand. She wasn't like high up, but she
50:36
was like entry level manager at best, but she felt like she was
50:40
like GM of location and like, oh, I got all this power, you
50:45
know, I got a, I've got a Gray shirt, you know, like.
50:49
Those are my favorite. Yeah, it it spiraled and
50:52
spiraled to the point where I got I had AI didn't get written
51:00
up for it, but I had a talking to because my shoelaces had Gray
51:05
in it when it was supposed to be full black.
51:08
And I was like, that was like the Oh yeah, 100%.
51:13
And she was the manager giving me the talk.
51:17
And there was one of the former GMs who got moved to a different
51:21
location he was video chatting in so that there could be two
51:25
managers in the meeting 'cause they always had to have two
51:27
managers in the meeting. And she was like, oh, we're not
51:31
writing you up. And I told her to her face, I
51:33
was like, I don't care if you write me up for it.
51:36
Yeah, in fact, write me up for it.
51:38
It's not going to change anything.
51:41
And just gave her this whole fucking spiel and it got to the
51:44
point where she's like, we're not.
51:45
And she wasn't listening to what I was saying we're.
51:47
Not. She's like, we're not writing
51:49
you up. You don't have to worry about
51:50
that. I was like, I do not care.
51:52
I don't think you understand this.
51:54
I don't care if you were to write me up or not.
51:57
Write me up. It doesn't change how little I
52:00
fucking care about this. And it spiraled, spiraled,
52:05
spiraled into two minutes after that.
52:09
I basically screamed at her. You can write me up.
52:13
Do it now. Write me up for this because I'm
52:16
yelling at you. And we're done here.
52:18
And I got up and slammed the chair into the desk and walked
52:21
out the door and walked to the number two guy at that location
52:25
who was out. He had to be outside 'cause
52:28
there was only three of us at the location at that time.
52:31
So he was outside and taking care of customers.
52:34
And I walked up. I was like, I might be getting
52:36
fired just he was like what happened?
52:39
And then he gets a call from from the regional guy who was
52:43
the one that told me to or was the one that told that whole
52:48
thing to happen. And they had a conversation as I
52:51
was said in their fuming like steam coming out of my ears
52:56
fuming. And he came up to me.
53:00
He goes, how long have you been here?
53:02
I go this is our 14. Unbelievable.
53:06
Yeah, they decided to do that after after 12 hours.
53:10
Meanwhile I was supposed to leave at hour 8 but because
53:14
somebody didn't show up I had to stay and they never told me I
53:18
could leave even though there was 2 managers there.
53:20
I thought you meant how long have you been employed there.
53:22
No, no. How long you're?
53:23
Like this is hour 14. I'm like holy shit, how?
53:25
Long have you been there for the day.
53:27
She pushed a button. Yeah.
53:29
Oh yeah. No.
53:31
So that whole thing, they, they decided to ignore the shoelace,
53:38
which is wild that it took me screaming at another human being
53:44
for them to realize, oh, it's not that big of a deal.
53:48
There are other issues at hand here.
53:51
Yeah. So they they didn't write me up
53:54
for screaming at her. They did not write me up for
53:57
leaving the manager meeting and cussing out two managers because
54:01
I basically told her I was like, fuck you, fuck this company.
54:04
And and I turned to the dude who's on the video chat with the
54:08
camera facing me, and I pointed at him.
54:10
I go fuck you too. He had no business.
54:14
I didn't know who this guy was. I was just pissed.
54:17
This poor guy. You can't go fuck yourself.
54:20
You can't go fuck yourself. Yeah, pretty much.
54:24
But yeah, so all all that whole thing, well, I think she took
54:28
that personally. And you don't.
54:31
Say 2 weeks later, yeah, two weeks later she.
54:36
Quit. No, she basically turned into
54:40
this like had to puff out her chest and, you know, big arms
54:46
and act like this all high and mighty, even though I had done
54:50
literally all of the closing duties and she was mad at me for
54:53
not going in and helping them with something that wasn't part
54:56
of the closing duties that, you know, whatever.
55:00
And she did that. And I left after that, came back
55:07
in on my next day of work and I walked up to the number two.
55:09
I was like, this is my last day. I'm done.
55:11
And everybody applause. Oh, pretty much.
55:14
Well, I found out that I was not the only one.
55:19
She tried to get all high and mighty on somebody, did not do
55:24
exactly what she asked of them, which apparently what she asked
55:29
of them was against, like company policy.
55:32
So they were like, I'll do it this way or I'll do this, but
55:36
not that because it's against company policy.
55:39
Well, she took it out on them by putting chemicals in their water
55:43
bottles. What?
55:46
Yeah, like. Did she get fired?
55:48
Oh yeah. I hope, I hope she had charges
55:52
pressed on her. That's insane.
55:54
Yeah, chemicals like full on car wash chemicals.
55:58
Jesus. Yeah, because they did not do
56:01
what she asked them to do. And that's why you're a
56:03
misogynist today. No.
56:08
No, that no, that's not the reason.
56:09
That's not the. Reason.
56:10
I have more reasons than just. That that's so funny.
56:14
But yeah, it's it's, it's nice to hear that she got what was
56:21
coming to her. I.
56:24
Louise. I'm just glad that from what I
56:28
from what I hear, Gen. Z and Gen.
56:31
Alpha are the, the like the evolution of us, like we
56:40
understood like no, no, no, we have to keep the job.
56:43
And even if we hate it, like we've got to tough it out like
56:46
we, it's a lot of yada yada. And Gen.
56:49
Z and Gen. Alpha, from what I hear is just
56:51
like, Nope, next. Yeah, that makes me so happy.
56:56
Like I, I, I would love to see some of these high and mighty
57:01
take their job too seriously. Just middle managers just
57:08
literally lose their minds. I don't know what's happening.
57:11
Like we lost like half our workforce this week and we don't
57:14
know why. Like I, I, I see the ones where
57:17
like, like a whole Starbucks just walks out, walks out the
57:20
whole place. They just shut the doors behind
57:22
them. I'm like, Oh my God, it's so
57:23
good. Oh, it's fantastic.
57:26
That makes me so happy. Yeah.
57:28
And the the problem though with with it is there is no, there is
57:37
no true people who do wrong needs to have the wrong happen
57:44
to them kind of mentality. It's just wherever.
57:47
So like we're dealing with it at our job where we will have
57:53
people come in and then just like, no, I'm not not doing
57:57
that. And it's like, what do you mean
58:00
you're not cleaning at the end of the night in a restaurant?
58:05
Yeah. What do you mean you're not
58:08
washing the dishes? No, but that's.
58:11
Listen, I understand that that is the job, but that's their
58:16
prerogative. If they say I'm not doing it,
58:18
you go. That's fine.
58:19
There's the door. No hard feelings.
58:22
I'm not even mad. I'm glad you told me instead of
58:25
taking company time and doing nothing and making my job
58:28
harder. Please leave.
58:30
Yeah, I'll see you later. Like it's no problem.
58:32
I'm glad you said something like.
58:34
I'm more talking about the turnover has been unreal trying
58:40
to find somebody, not even a good employee.
58:43
I I could care less. About a good employee just.
58:45
An employee to fill that spot that is good enough to be able
58:50
to fill that spot. Well, that's, that's what I was
58:52
saying last episode. It's impossible.
58:53
Yeah. Like trying to hire somebody.
58:56
Oh my God, man, it's it's impossible.
58:59
And I get, I get it. I do when literally there's so
59:03
many opportunities and so, so many other paths that people can
59:07
do for so much less effort and I don't fault them for that.
59:12
Why the hell would you want to be a laborer in any place of any
59:16
service industry when you can be a dozen other things that pay as
59:21
well, if not more for less effort?
59:25
Like I understand like some people are like, well, that's
59:28
lazy. That's this, that's I don't care
59:30
what you think it is less effort.
59:33
It's better for them because that's what they want.
59:36
I, I don't fault them at all. I, I would, I would rather them
59:40
come in and tell me I, I appreciate the opportunity for
59:45
the job. Not my fit.
59:48
Cool, no problem. You want to check now or mailed,
59:51
I don't care. I'm going to move on to the next
59:53
one. Like it's not.
59:54
It's not a problem at all. I'm glad you said it instead of
59:57
me finding out and then it being a much bigger issue.
1:00:00
I'm I would rather they just dip like.
1:00:03
It's, it's great. I I think Gen.
1:00:06
Z and Jen Alpha, if that's really the case with them, I
1:00:08
think that's awesome. Yeah, and I, I don't have a a
1:00:12
problem with that idea. It's just in certain especially
1:00:17
I've seen it, there are people that we have kept on for too
1:00:21
long because they did not, they just did a crap job.
1:00:25
They did not say it, they just did a crap job.
1:00:29
Like one dude literally would if we told him, OK, you finished
1:00:35
this and you're good to go. Like, hey, go ahead and finish
1:00:40
up the dishes that you are currently doing.
1:00:42
You have this much to do and then you're good to go.
1:00:46
You don't have to hang out any longer, you know, clock out and
1:00:49
leave. He would then take those dishes
1:00:53
and fill the sink up to the brim and then dump those dishes in
1:00:56
under the soap line so you couldn't see them and then walk
1:00:59
out the door. See, I don't fault that man.
1:01:04
It. But that's the thing.
1:01:05
If you didn't write him up the first time he got away, he got
1:01:09
away with. That's what I'm saying.
1:01:10
He got screamed at multiple times.
1:01:12
Nobody should be screaming at an employee.
1:01:14
Nobody should be screaming in the in the not.
1:01:17
In the not in the sense, but like, don't do that.
1:01:22
Talk to him, but like never, but nobody should ever.
1:01:26
I I think if you if you scream at an employee.
1:01:31
Or at least talk down to them too cause like I've had that
1:01:35
happen to me. Well, that's my I think if a
1:01:39
talk down to like a condescending yeah, that's up to
1:01:43
you to take up with his boss, their boss.
1:01:45
What if they don't have a boss? Then you fucking leave if you
1:01:48
don't. Like it?
1:01:49
Then quit. That's what I'm.
1:01:50
Saying exactly, you have free reign, you have full rights,
1:01:54
You're allowed to leave. If it ain't for you, leave.
1:01:56
Yeah, but if and somebody higher up in the chain yells, actually
1:02:02
physically raises their voice to you, I think, and this is I
1:02:06
understand, this is insane. I think they should be able to
1:02:09
take you Outback. I If you want to scream at me,
1:02:13
let's go outside. I would be fine with that.
1:02:15
I'm I would. I used the wrong word.
1:02:18
It wasn't scream. It was like, don't do that.
1:02:23
Like a. It was firm.
1:02:25
Firm I was. Going to say forceful, never
1:02:27
say. Forceful.
1:02:28
I just, yeah, take him by the shoulders and shake him.
1:02:33
Affirm. Affirm.
1:02:35
That is not how we do this. Yeah, understood.
1:02:38
Yeah, and if. You don't like being talked to
1:02:40
like. That pulled into a private so
1:02:42
that it wasn't in front of other employees.
1:02:44
It was a total on one that is a firm we do not do.
1:02:46
That that is a given. Yes, if you reprimand, if you
1:02:50
talk down to if you raise your voice to an employee in front of
1:02:53
an another, Oh my God, meet me outside.
1:02:58
You talk to me like a grown ass person.
1:03:01
We're going to talk about it like grown ass people.
1:03:04
Go ahead and come out the door with me, dude.
1:03:06
I've had I've had a boss before and I, I think I've told you
1:03:09
this one where I I talked to his boss.
1:03:12
He wasn't even my boss anymore. His boss was my new boss and he
1:03:17
came. My old boss came back in and
1:03:19
started running his mouth in my warehouse, in my space, Yeah, in
1:03:25
my space. And I finally, I was like, who
1:03:28
are you talking to 'cause you're not, you have nothing to do with
1:03:32
me anymore. You have nothing to do with the
1:03:35
space that I'm standing in right now.
1:03:37
This is not your division anymore.
1:03:39
None of this concerns you. I don't know why you're standing
1:03:42
here. You've been standing here for
1:03:44
like a good 10 minutes. Like I've, I've held my tongue.
1:03:47
Why are you here? And he just, well, I think I
1:03:50
don't give a fuck what you think.
1:03:52
So I finally went to his boss and I'm fuming.
1:03:55
And I'm like, dude, and this is the company that I, I should
1:03:58
have left long before I did. And I finally told him I was
1:04:01
like, you need to get your dog on a leash.
1:04:03
I'm telling you now. And I gave him that tone.
1:04:06
I said those words exactly. And he's like, he's like, what
1:04:08
are you going to do? And me and him are cordial.
1:04:10
He's an old Marine. He understands the value of
1:04:14
standing up for yourself and understanding that there are
1:04:17
hierarchies. And at that point, he's not my
1:04:20
boss. His boss is my boss.
1:04:22
And I'm like, you need to get your dog on a leash.
1:04:25
And he's like, what are you going to do jokingly?
1:04:27
And I'm like, I'm dead serious. Bring him out back.
1:04:30
Like I'm ready. I've been ready for years with
1:04:32
this guy and he, he said he'd beat your fucking ass and I was
1:04:37
like, I literally was like, I'd love to see it.
1:04:39
I, I, I pray that you talk to him because I'm telling you now,
1:04:44
man, it's coming. It's coming fast.
1:04:46
Like I'm ready to whoop his ass. I was, it was so funny.
1:04:50
He was like, he's straight up just goes, he would beat your
1:04:53
ass and I was like, I would love to see it, man.
1:04:57
I'd, I'd, I'd give anything to meet him in the parking lot.
1:05:00
I was Oh my God, I I still and again, it's insane.
1:05:04
We don't need to do that. We're we're fucking evolved
1:05:07
humans. We don't need to be fighting
1:05:08
each other. But you want to scream it not I
1:05:11
mean it not talk firmly in an employee employer setting.
1:05:16
If you want to talk to me like a grown ass person, you can talk
1:05:19
to me outside like you can take whatever you dish out.
1:05:24
I'm I'm ready, like I'll scream back.
1:05:26
And if you want to like raise that up some, we're already
1:05:29
outside. Let's go.
1:05:30
Happy, happy to do it. It's like, I don't know, man, I,
1:05:36
I think we're, we're getting to the point now where it's just
1:05:42
it's UN unsustainable. You can't act this way toward
1:05:48
other people anymore. And I, I think that's, that's
1:05:51
really what I love about the the newer generations is like, Nope.
1:05:56
Not doing that. Bye and they just leave.
1:05:58
They walk out in the middle of a shift and then the the morons
1:06:03
who sit there and act all high and mighty and puff their chest
1:06:07
to people, they shouldn't be puffing their chest.
1:06:09
They're like, well, what happened?
1:06:10
Well, he walked out. Why?
1:06:12
Well, he was a, you know, whatever.
1:06:14
And then come to find out, that's the third time this month
1:06:17
somebody's walked out on you. On you.
1:06:19
What? Are you doing exactly.
1:06:21
I love that. And before they could, they
1:06:24
could puff their chest and be high and mighty and nobody could
1:06:26
ever walk out because we understood.
1:06:29
No, we got to keep the job because the job's the job.
1:06:32
God knows what else is that. Yeah, exactly.
1:06:35
Walk now blah blah. I love that they're they don't
1:06:37
play that shit. Yeah.
1:06:39
It it it has massively changed. I, I love it, man.
1:06:42
I'm, I'm interested to see. I'm really interested to see.
1:06:46
I think that's why they're pushing AI so hard because they
1:06:48
know like, even though they're saying like the birth of rates
1:06:51
down and yadda, yadda, like we don't have the workforce
1:06:53
anymore, like especially the, the trades, like we have to find
1:07:00
something because they're not coming in.
1:07:02
And when they do come in the high and mighty, who have been
1:07:05
there for 37 years and they have no, they have No Fear of being
1:07:12
reprimanded or let go again, 37 years, they don't care.
1:07:16
And then you come up against the immovable object and you're a
1:07:20
brick wall. Like I, I just, I love the
1:07:22
dynamic. Like I'm interested to see what
1:07:24
happens and how they not fix the problem, but what it evolves
1:07:28
into that I'm interested in. I I wonder if it just because
1:07:34
somebody's got to be the trades. Somebody has to be the plumber,
1:07:37
somebody has to be the electrician, the farmer, the,
1:07:40
the, I mean the just, I don't know.
1:07:44
I'm I'm interested, I think. I think we're also seeing
1:07:48
fascinating, and this will be, this will be the last point that
1:07:53
I'm going to make because we're over the hour mark now.
1:07:55
But I think we're also seeing that more and more people are
1:08:03
just saying screw the life that has been and I'm I'm going to
1:08:10
make it for myself. In all aspects.
1:08:12
In all aspects. So job, family, everything like
1:08:15
like. Let's I'm going out, we're
1:08:18
buying a homestead, I'm gardening, I'm raising, you
1:08:24
know, whatever. I'm raising my own food, growing
1:08:27
my own food, raising my family out in the middle of nowhere
1:08:33
were I, I think. And now I haven't been really
1:08:37
focused on the Internet that much recently, which has been a
1:08:42
huge, you know, weight off my shelf.
1:08:45
It's. Been wonderful.
1:08:47
I haven't had Facebook on my phone forever so it's but I
1:08:53
think I've seen a lot more videos of homesteading which is
1:08:58
wonderful. And the algorithm pushes it to
1:09:00
you. But I also feel like they're
1:09:04
like even the the mainstream stuff is like, OK, eggs are
1:09:11
however much they said they were.
1:09:14
How do we raise chickens? Like that's an article in the
1:09:18
post. It's like what we're we're back
1:09:20
to 1910 again. It's great.
1:09:22
I love this like we're we're going in this big loop and
1:09:26
people went through the industrial and then they went
1:09:30
through the finance and now we're back to OK, I don't want
1:09:35
to do any of that because it's literally like the only way that
1:09:39
business succeed is is with not manipulation.
1:09:44
What's the word? It's like you have to literally
1:09:47
take advantage of people. Like you can't, you can't
1:09:51
actually make money in that business unless you you break
1:09:56
the backs of others. And everybody else is like, OK,
1:09:59
I see it now. I see what happened to my
1:10:01
grandfather. I see what happened to my dad.
1:10:03
I see what happened to my parents.
1:10:04
They work 2 jobs through the 80s through the 90s, through the
1:10:08
2000s. And they're no better off than
1:10:10
they were before then. And.
1:10:12
Some of them don't even have houses.
1:10:14
Yeah, now because they lost them because the frickin the machine
1:10:18
took the house like what are you talking about?
1:10:21
So no, I I think we all saw through the years.
1:10:25
And we we've also seen especially the 80s and 90s and
1:10:30
into the 2000s, we saw companies starting to not reward loyalty
1:10:37
and start to. Say it's.
1:10:39
Yeah, I mean, it's, it's just removing loyalty rewards for
1:10:44
people that had been there forever, you know, and and now
1:10:47
we, if you find somebody with a really good like 401K, not even
1:10:54
like matching you, I'd be surprised if you could find one
1:10:57
with actual matching. Yeah, nowadays.
1:11:00
But like, Oh yeah, we'll we'll match 1%.
1:11:04
Yeah. And you're like, Oh my gosh, 1%.
1:11:07
You match anything. Cool, cool.
1:11:09
Yeah. I I was doing the numbers last
1:11:13
night for my dad. If he retires at 62, he loses
1:11:22
about 30 grand from 62 to 65. And this is for anybody who
1:11:29
invests like he does, makes the money that he does in the age
1:11:32
bracket that he is born, the year that he was has the four O
1:11:37
1K and yadda yadda yadda. For the last 30 years.
1:11:40
He makes an extra 30 grand if he waits three more years to retire
1:11:48
a year of his life working at that company would gain him 10
1:11:52
grand. It's crazy.
1:11:54
It's what is that monthly less than 100 bucks like what are you
1:12:00
talking about like that? I I just don't understand how
1:12:05
get it. I don't understand how they
1:12:07
could possibly keep a workforce, how they could possibly take
1:12:11
advantage of the new generations with that, the inner, the
1:12:15
knowledge of the Internet, we know everything.
1:12:18
I can find out what you're trying to pull the wool over my
1:12:21
eyes with in five seconds and I can immediately shut it down.
1:12:26
Bye, I'm out. It's not worth it.
1:12:29
I know it's not because I just looked it up.
1:12:31
So when I was looking it up, it was 30 grand in three years is
1:12:37
all he would add to the retirement account.
1:12:42
So he trades three extra years for 30 grand and when he does
1:12:49
retire, his company would have given him $90.00 I think.
1:12:55
What in three years? What if they match at 1% of his
1:13:03
four O 1K withdrawals? In three years they would have
1:13:06
given him $90.00. 90 bucks less than $100 for three years of
1:13:13
work is their match. Yeah, if he spooled it back, I
1:13:18
think when he leaves at 65 instead of 62, three extra years
1:13:24
of his life, 71 dollars would would be all that his company
1:13:30
has given him to match his investments.
1:13:32
That's crazy you. Know what's insane?
1:13:35
The company holds all the investments.
1:13:39
Obviously they give it to a firm, but the company holds
1:13:44
those four O 1 KS as their how do I say it like an asset, but
1:13:49
not really. It's, it's technically the
1:13:50
property of the person with the four O 1K.
1:13:52
But the company uses that that bucket as a whole to move their
1:14:00
their investments. Because if they want to go heavy
1:14:04
in one place, they'll move all of the four O 1K investments
1:14:07
into that sector, which is what they did.
1:14:10
And they, they moved him over probably 7 years ago from a
1:14:15
company. He's, he's been with the same
1:14:17
company for like 20 years. After 13 years, they moved the
1:14:23
four O 1K from this, this investment firm to the other.
1:14:29
And when they did that, they took fees to move his money to a
1:14:35
new block of of stocks. They took like $900 to do that.
1:14:42
They did that for every employee.
1:14:44
There's thousands of employees at this company.
1:14:47
Like what? What are you talking about?
1:14:52
So his company gives him $90.00 if he stays another three years.
1:14:58
When he moved the four O 1K that was not voluntary.
1:15:01
It was mandatory. They sold the company.
1:15:04
He had to move it or take like take the four O 1K out or move
1:15:09
it to a Roth or something like that.
1:15:12
So you cost him $900 to do that and then you would only pay him
1:15:17
back $90.00 in three years if he stayed the extra three years?
1:15:22
That's. What are we doing?
1:15:24
It's unsustainable. Like unbelievable.
1:15:28
Hated it.
