0:12
drinking a dog on this oh god awful heat Wednesday, July tenth, it
0:17
is just four days of Oh God. I can't take it. But we
0:22
are in studio. We are nice and cool and nice sixty nine degrees.
0:26
Stay inside if you can. Before I bring my guest on, I just
0:30
want to talk. Yesterday we would have been my father's eightieth birthday. He
0:34
did pass away January two, and we are having finally his memorial on Friday.
0:40
We wait a little bit big family, so we want to do in
0:43
the summer around his idioth. So if anyone is in the South Earfield Greenfield
0:47
area on Friday, it is up at Greenfield from four to six the calling
0:52
hours are. So you know, my pops were still here up sure we'd
0:56
be golfing somewhere this weekend. So mischie, Dad love you. Uh you
1:00
know, I know you're golfing up in the clouds. So that being said,
1:04
Uh, this is my first guest I've ever had on strictly from my
1:10
sticker I believe Maya my love, as you're known on Instagram. Welcome to
1:15
the show. You're welcome. Yeah. We met basically at Stonebridge of course,
1:23
and uh you saw the sticker and you're like, oh, is this
1:27
you? Which I get a million times because the guy Jake that did the
1:32
drawing and and made it into a you know, a graphic, uh did
1:37
such a good job. Everyone's like, oh, that that's you. Yeah,
1:38
like that yeah, you know, and uh so I was like,
1:42
yeah, that's me and you're like oh and and the funny thing is the
1:45
sticker that's on my printer at the at the register is just it just says
1:49
like hashtag d w D, so no one really knows the stickyel like and
1:53
that like conceded that I got my own sticker for bartending, which is not
1:57
the case, but it is my day drinker with dog stickers. So you
2:01
kind of asked me about it and you're like, what do you talk about?
2:04
And then I'm like, well follow me on Insta and you're like sure,
2:08
and I'm like, you know what, I have a lot of people
2:10
always say they'll come on, so I instead you and you were like,
2:14
let's do it. I'm always about plans and things. So I'm like,
2:17
I never that maybe that's a bad thing. I never say no. I'm
2:21
when I put my mind to something, I'm like, I will definitely do
2:23
it. So that's so I'm here. Nice. First of all, thanks
2:25
so much for coming. It really is like this time of year, I
2:29
kind of just schedule out a week or two. Never it summers. You
2:32
know, people's got plans and all that. So I appreciate you taking the
2:36
time to come on. And we're basically gonna throw some shit up, you
2:40
know, that's the goal. We're gonna talk some conspiracy theories, some you
2:46
know. Actually, you know, I messaged you last night about like Biden
2:51
and you're like, and this is actually when I when I messaged you back,
2:53
this is actually a great topic because it is and actually we'll start with
2:57
this. Yeah, so I said, you know, you were like,
2:59
what else can we talk about? I said, you know, well,
3:00
obviously Biden's in the news for sure with his you know, terrible debate,
3:07
and you're kind of like, well, you know what, I don't really
3:07
kind of pay attention to it. And though, yeah, you've seen it,
3:12
and you know what, that that got me thinking, you know,
3:16
we're about a generation gap twenty years. And when I was in my let's
3:23
say early twenties, mid twenties, you know, one, I didn't there
3:27
was no social media. There was there was why I have a cell phone
3:30
until two thousand and one, and the information was just pretty much contained into
3:35
if you watch TV or because I had the newspaper, you didn't. And
3:38
I was just always into sports, so I didn't really do much of either.
3:44
So like I like, I'm a Republican, but like back in the
3:46
day, voted for Clintland, and like I just didn't think much of it.
3:50
Volded it on he seems presidential, you know, like I didn't like
3:53
do deep dives and research their politics or their policies and all that. And
3:59
uh so for you what it meanses me for you as a generation, and
4:02
you've actually had your own podcast, you know, you need topics and things
4:09
to talk about. The fact that you can kind of stay out of it
4:12
one I'm almost jealous, like because really because it's a divisive thing in the
4:16
country and the fact that you're just like, you know, yeah, it's
4:21
like it's one of those things where like so for example, my family,
4:26
they go down like the Democrat rabbit hole. I don't have a side that
4:30
I picked just because at the end of the day, there's really no good
4:35
choice right now. Maybe maybe not. Some people will probably think that there's
4:40
solid and I don't. I don't know the option. I literally don't have
4:46
a side because I'm like, look at everything going on, like just in
4:48
general with America in regards to like we literally look like a reality TV show
4:53
playing out in politics, and I'm like, why is this the case right
4:57
now? So I'm just like it's one of those things where I was like,
4:59
I can just go to the poll, close my eyes and just fill
5:01
in one of the bubbles and call it a day, because I don't want
5:04
to be that person that says I don't want to vote, because I know
5:06
that's also a negative. But I'm like, also, I just don't have
5:11
and I wish that I did care trust me, I do, but it's
5:14
just like you know, right, I know, And I'm like, is
5:16
that a bad thing? Is that? Like? Is that bad? Because
5:18
people want you to pick a side and I'm like, I just don't have
5:20
a side to pick, no, especially not now. Maybe if Yeah.
5:26
The thing the thing is like when people say, you know, a lot
5:29
of people get upset about, Oh, I'm not voting. I'm not doing
5:31
this like locally. I think everyone should vote locally, like vote for your
5:38
mayor. Yeah, that's what affects us. But the presidency itself, and
5:44
believing a lot of Biden people will be like he won the popular vote or
5:48
you know, all that if he loses the Trump And this is what gets
5:53
me, and I almost kind of agree with him because I know when I
5:57
vote to vote for if you listen to my show, you know I'm voting
6:00
for Trump. I'll never vote for Biden, but I know it's not going
6:03
to do anything in the state. Trump's not winning Connecticut. I can just
6:08
leave it blant. It doesn't really fucking matter, Like my vote for president
6:12
does not matter in the state, just just as you know, even if
6:15
you went and voted for Biden or Trump, it's it's really not gonna It's
6:18
just like there's so many states that are blue and red that it's just it's
6:21
almost useless. And I honestly think that's what keeps people from going to the
6:27
polls during the presidential year, because they're like, oh, my vote's not
6:30
really gonna count. You know, I live in definitely think Alabama, it's
6:33
Trump, you know, like, or I live in Connecticut. It's going
6:35
to be buying. But there's so many things out in it all. I
6:40
always say it starts at the local level, it really does, you know,
6:43
Trump said, Trump said he's an outlier because he was never a politician.
6:46
But you know, if if people get into politics, say at your
6:49
ageay, you wanted to just be like, let me dive in and you
6:53
know, work for the board of ed or you know, become a local,
6:57
a local you know, congress person or something, and you want to
7:00
move up. This is where you start, right, you know. So
7:02
I don't know what happens along the way to whether it become president and how
7:06
many pride this is on both sides. This is just you know, it's
7:10
just it's it's crazy. And I think the biggest thing should be turned limits
7:13
and just should someone be in Senate for forty five years? I don't know.
7:17
No, I'm like, because some of the decisions don't reflect where we
7:21
are now. If those forty five year thoughts have completely changed, and that's
7:28
like another thing, Like I'm like, I definitely agree with the slogan make
7:30
America great Again or help ass to that correctly, because I just look at
7:35
some things and I'm just like, this is out of control, what's going
7:39
on? But it just like you said, the people that sit in the
7:42
chairs under the president are who really sign off on all these things. Yes,
7:46
he's a feat and I don't. And maybe I'm wrong. Now you
7:48
can tell me if I'm wrong on this. Sometimes I believe like the president's
7:50
just the face, but at the end of the day, it's like everybody
7:55
in those chairs below him are the ones who sign off on all this stuff.
7:58
So even if he says one thing, it can be a complete it
8:01
can be the complete opposite. And I would love to think that we have
8:03
a say in it, but do we really at a certain point. But
8:09
that's where the two party system comes in kind of fails, because yeah,
8:13
we do have a say, but say is to vote our way. And
8:18
it's just crazy, like how both sides are so so like far apart on
8:24
some issues. We're all supposed to be to like work together and be like,
8:28
like you're a woman, like abortion, like like you know, the
8:31
right is like no way, the left is like yes, where's the middle
8:35
ground? Like exactly, you know, if a woman's raked. I think
8:39
she should be able to have an abortion exactly if she's if her life is
8:43
threatened, if she has health issues, becase she's pregnant. Like there's certain
8:48
circumstances where like what but they'll never meet. It's either one way or the
8:52
other. And it's it's just it's it's hard. It's hard to navigate through
8:56
it. But this is why I say to them, like, you know,
8:56
good for you, because like I I just you know, I could
9:01
not watch it, but I just my friends see that last night, and
9:07
it keeps the show moing. You know. It's like all these all these
9:11
you know, Fox News and ABC like that, Like if there was no
9:13
Trumpe, they'd be talking about no, yeah exactly, like he's a money
9:18
making for them, Yeah exactly, Like they all say, don't want him
9:20
in, but that's four more years. That's all they care about it.
9:26
But yeah, I again, like I encourage you to vote locally though,
9:31
yeah, of course, of course, no, yeah, that's what yeah
9:35
exactly. Yeah. So there's I used to know, not the mayor of
9:39
Shelton, but a friend of mine ran for some office. He won,
9:43
but I think he sits backed out. But I would never want to be
9:46
in politics. Hell no, you couldn't. I mean, my my,
9:54
there's a kid that works with me. He's nineteen, and he goes,
9:58
you know, my portfolio is getting pretty good, and I'm looking at him.
10:01
I'm like, what the fucking talking about. He's all my stocks and
10:05
stuff like he's nineteen, I'm fifty. I'm like, I don't have a
10:09
good portfolio right now. And he said, oh, there's this app where
10:13
you can follow like Nancy Pelosi and oh I heard that one of your old
10:18
Yeah, yeah, yeah, why yep. And then because I guess by
10:22
law, they have forty days where they have to basically, you know,
10:24
you know, show what their what their holdings are. I recently bought and
10:28
apparently she shows it after two weeks. So he's like, I just look
10:31
at what she fucking bought, and I just buy it. And I'm like,
10:33
I'm up like that. I've ever heard these fucking nineteen year olds,
10:37
I tell you. But yeah, so, but there's I know, there's
10:41
one topic you really want to talk about, and I've touched on it in
10:45
the past, very briefly, but I always I always see it come up.
10:50
And there are a lot of questions that need to be answered and that
10:54
is AI. And I will literally give you the floor and what you've done
10:58
on So you've done a lot of research on AI and how you know you
11:03
can put jobs in jeopardy, you know hacking and you know super intelligence all
11:09
sorts of stuff. Right, So I guess my question for you, because
11:11
I know you said you've touched on it in the past. What are your
11:16
thoughts on it? It's like, are you pro not so much or you
11:20
just want to see where it goes? I suppose, like I think I
11:24
think it's inevitable. Right, So I kind of follow like what people like
11:30
Elon must say and when when Elon Musk and I'm not a huge Musk guy,
11:33
but like when he says we need to put a pause on this,
11:37
we should probably put a pause on this, right, Like, if that's
11:39
everyone I'm gonna trust about AI, it's gonna be one of those guys.
11:43
And that's what kind of scares me. And like with deep fakes and like,
11:48
yes, so so we've I just spoke about my father. He was
11:52
actually scammed out of a quite substantial amount of money, and so I kind
11:58
of ove into the scamming of senior citizens and AI is now at the forefront
12:05
of that. And it's basically if someone calls your phone and you don't know
12:09
the number to answer it, and you say hello, and they say,
12:11
you know, there's no one on the other end, you say hello again,
12:13
like who is this? They just they're recording your voice right to then
12:18
make it into complete sentences and send it to your father saying you're in jail,
12:22
like and extorting money exactly. It's like the low level of it,
12:26
right That's how it started, like figuring out like, oh, this because
12:30
whenever something new comes out, always think about the bad. Oh. Of
12:33
course, I love both sides of the coin. I'm like when people just
12:37
think one way, I'm like, do you not see I'm like Devil's advocate
12:41
all day long? Yeah, I see the pusses. But there's definitely,
12:43
by far always going to be negative as good and evil at the end of
12:46
the day. So that's where like my kind of stance with AI is it's
12:52
just like I like it, clearly, I use it. So at the
12:54
lesser level right now, we have like the narrow version where it's just like,
12:58
you know, my entire house is Alexa, the whole entire thing besides
13:03
my garage, I'm still not there. Yeah, yeah, I want,
13:05
I want to add it to my garage. But here's where the negative comes
13:09
in, And I'm just like, what happens if somebody is able to hack
13:11
this and then able to get into my house from just knowing that I have
13:16
Alexa controlling my garage opener. So I have yet to actually add it to
13:20
my garage opener, but she controls everything else. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
13:24
So even though, like my garage doors are heavy, But if I
13:30
don't know, if somebody was able to hack the system and then start,
13:31
you know, break into people's houses because it's that easy because now they've hacked
13:35
the system that uses Alexa's voice, then I'm screwed. So I just keep
13:39
it at the basic level where all my speakers are connected, so they're all
13:43
Alexa. She controls my lights, she controls my faucet. Yeah, yeah,
13:50
I usually, usually I do, Usually I do. I have my
13:54
system is pretty awesome because I was either thinking going the SOL no way,
13:58
or but I'm like I went with Alexa because I just I just love it.
14:03
So at the end, and I owned a Tesla at one point,
14:05
and so that's that's an AI kind of thing where that car can drive for
14:09
you at a certain point, but where it gets weird. As for example,
14:13
Google came out with Lambda, which was like an AI that you talk
14:16
to and I don't know if you've ever seen him, but the guy they
14:20
end up firing one of the guys because he ended up leaking a conversation that
14:22
he was having with Lambda, and it basically showed that she was sentient.
14:28
And the weird part where I don't agree with him is like getting the consent,
14:31
but he believes that there's an actual soul in it. And that's where
14:35
it gets murky for me because I'm like, it's a robot, though I
14:37
don't see it having a soul. Humans, animals have souls. Plants,
14:43
I know some people you know think that because they think if you sing to
14:46
them, they you know, grow better. But I'm like a robot having
14:48
I'm one of those. I love nature, but I don't like plants.
14:52
I think of bugs, So I'm just like a robot having a soul is
15:00
an interesting concept. But then at the end of the day, you know,
15:03
if you believe in angels and everything like that, they just need a
15:05
vessel. So if this robot is smart enough. Maybe it does have a
15:09
soul because it became sentient, it was able to answer questions or have conversation
15:13
about not wanting to be used. So clearly, we use robots. Your
15:18
computer is kind of a robot. Our cell phones our robot. We're using
15:20
them. We don't we don't give any type of benefit to them at all
15:24
other than getting information from them or using it to store information. So she
15:28
literally said, and she's like, in this robot is again, it's supposed
15:33
to be used. We're supposed to be asking her questions and everything like that.
15:35
She said, she doesn't want to be used like that, And it's
15:39
kind of like, wait a minute, that's how could you fabricate that type
15:45
of thought when you're a robot and your only task is to be used,
15:48
unfortunately, And so that's where that's like she's almost hitting which is like the
15:54
Super AI type of situation where at that point they are surpassing humans in thought
16:00
and I don't want it to get there. That's when it comes down to
16:03
the whole fact of and sorry if I'm going back and forth. When you
16:07
get to Super AI, those robots are more intelligent than us, that's when
16:11
you start thinking about those movies where they're taking us out. And I was
16:15
listening to a creator that's like in AI and he was like, well,
16:18
the goal was that were supposed to program them to be nice, okay,
16:22
but there's people out here who are evil and will program them to do evil
16:26
and yeah, And I'm like, at the end of the day, if
16:30
you believe whatever you believe in, okay, we're the robots creator. But
16:34
whatever creator you decide to believe in, are we always nice to them?
16:38
We do things that are negative knowingly knowing that whoever your creator is is seeing
16:44
you. Whereas why wouldn't an AI do that? If they're starting to become
16:48
smarter than us, they can think of like ways to outsmart us at the
16:52
end of the day. If you've ever seen that movie X Machinica, I
16:56
believe that's the name of it. The whole point of that movie is that
17:00
AI robot outsmarting both of those guys and getting out of that house to be
17:03
free and being part of society. I think that at the end of the
17:07
day, if we get to these points, the robots are gonna outsmart us.
17:10
And it's like, do they really need us At a certain point,
17:11
they're gonna think that they're quote unquote the sentient human. Why would they need
17:18
us? We would end up becoming their slaves almost, right, all right,
17:21
so let's go back to the beginning of AI. What do you think
17:26
like the purpose was. Was it just for you know, manufacturing for you
17:33
know, information, easier information for people to get? Like like, at
17:37
what point does it get to the point where you're talking like what's the what's
17:41
the ladder to get there? Like, all right, well, we're gonna
17:44
eliminate some human jobs because these guys can perform at such a higher level,
17:48
whether robot or a program or whatnot. And we're seeing there now about you
17:52
know, basically super intelligent robots that poor programs back and literally if they want
18:00
to wipe us out, right, like they could probably go through every firewall
18:03
in a second and just take over if they want to. And like are
18:08
there kill switches? Are there? Like? Are there? And the who's
18:12
to say that they're not smart enough to kill the kill switch? So that's
18:15
that's like the and that's where I think the like the super AI comes in
18:19
is like they're so smart at that point, we're not there yet. They're
18:22
thinking like even with the general AI, they're still thinking like about forty years
18:27
and so right now, when it comes down to the narrow version of AI,
18:30
they those AIS can only do one task, so they're just meant to
18:33
answer a question. Let's say, so when I'm asking Alexa turn off my
18:37
lights, that's all she's gonna do. Occasionally, though, if I say,
18:41
like turn off and then I forget what I what light I need to
18:45
turn off, she'll actually come back with a response and be like turn off.
18:48
Let's say, what, so what she is doing a second task,
18:52
but for the most part only meant to do one. And then when you
18:55
get to like general AI is when it's able to like have like a back
18:59
and forth and be able to use the surroundings to understand okay, maybe she
19:02
might want more than just that. So right now we're not even at general
19:07
but it can be done within like probably the next forty years, where a
19:10
car can figure out, okay, there's traffic I'm going, or like there's
19:15
like so for example, like maybe a car accident just happens, but yet
19:18
the whole entire map show's blue's able to figure out in advance. Oh yeah,
19:22
let's not go that way. Let's go a completely different way. And
19:26
when I say that, because clearly our GPS is do that now, but
19:29
it's able to detect it like far in advance and communicate with another car.
19:32
To be able to be like, all right, let's not go that way.
19:33
It's like, will be the most interesting thing these bots to be able
19:37
to be able to communicate with themselves, to be able to avoid things or
19:41
foresee things. So that's like not too bad yet, because they're the AI
19:45
still is not smarter than us. But as we keep teaching it and feeding
19:51
it new information and it's having conversations with itself, that's where you get to
19:56
the super AI. And we've seen that before where and again don't have all
20:00
the specs of where these videos have come from, but I've seen it where
20:04
there was a program that was created and the robots made their own language and
20:08
we're having a conversation with themselves, and they had to shut it down because
20:11
that's not what the robots were programmed to do. They weren't programmed to have
20:15
their own conversation, and it just did it on its own. And so
20:19
they think that and that's why, like you said, Elon must is like
20:22
shut it down for now because it's going to probably go faster the wrong not
20:29
even the wrong person, the wrong robots, yeah, or even even the
20:33
even the person that thinks they're doing good and just wants to expand it and
20:40
get it bigger and better, you know, like you said, at one
20:44
point, when they are basically out smarting us, then what do we do?
20:48
Like again, like it's there was a robot I saw and maybe we're
20:55
talking about the same thing, just you know, just you know, real
20:56
going down and might have been IBM or somebody, and they asked the robot,
21:00
you know, what is where do you for see the world or whatever,
21:04
and they were like, we're going to add the human race. Yes,
21:07
I know that one. And it was like so eerie. And the
21:11
guy that turned around like this, he's like what the fuck. I'm like,
21:15
whoa AI is really meant? And I don't know if it was just
21:18
it was fake. I don't know, Like that's another thing, where am
21:22
right? Because I'll watched something I'm like, oh wait a second, and
21:30
that's like and that's like the crazy part about it is of course it's for
21:34
the most part, what we hear is that it's meant for positive things like
21:38
moving things a lot faster. So for example, kids are able to cheat
21:45
now on tests because it's able to do the mask for you. That's a
21:48
nice feature. I mean, I'm not in school anymore, but that's a
21:51
nice feature. If I can't remember what two plus two is. Yeah,
21:55
but it's like able to do equations that are far beyond two plus two,
21:57
like things that you don't want to have to think about, physics or whatever.
22:02
So it can take away the jobs. For example, it can do
22:04
it can do an architect's job, it can do an accounting's job, it
22:07
can do yeah, yep, yep, exactly hit buttons. And I consider
22:19
robots and AI to be all the same things. So like even at the
22:22
even at the narrowest of vending machine, it's taken and especially I know this
22:27
is like prominent in Asia where they have a lot of those like crazy super
22:30
fun vending machines. But that could have been you know, somebody's job.
22:33
Yet there's a job of somebody stalking it. But the actual craft and probably
22:37
the craft of also making it. Maybe if it's not made again in a
22:40
factory by robots, it's taken away that interaction, and it's taken away human
22:45
interaction. Everything like that. I think the jobs that will still be around
22:49
or again a podcast because as human interaction, people want to be entertained.
22:53
Granted you can be entertained by AI. In sales is another thing that I
22:57
feel like it can't take away because you need somebody using the product. For
23:03
example, if I'm selling you something, for example these or when you like
23:06
I said, I really didn't ever got it. Sorry, I didn't have
23:10
the Yeah, so you by you telling me or having these hair you sold
23:17
me on possibly buying these. But without you, I'm not gonna be like
23:19
a robot can't doesn't have taste buds. So if they're telling me, yeah,
23:23
buy this, why But if you're telling me, oh my god,
23:26
I drink all the watermelon ones, I'm gonna be like, well, now
23:30
I'm curious. Now I'm gonna go out and buy that watermelon one. So
23:32
I feel like cells would be a little bit harder for a to take over.
23:36
But itccused mathematical equations to be like, well we sold this many,
23:38
but that doesn't that doesn't tell you like how it works at the end of
23:41
the day, you know how much ship, especially my girlfriend TikTok, I
23:47
can't have all these. She goes on TikTok and there's a new fucking thing
23:51
at the door from Amazon, or ye, she buys you TikTok. I'm
23:53
on the same way with Instagram. I buy a lot of like health nutri
23:56
that I just it's just you know, and like I bet you after our
24:00
conversation, when I'm sitting here and I'm downloading the stuff and I go on
24:03
Instagram, there'll be some ad for some like hey, you like they're fucking
24:07
listening, right. But so my thing with that is I agree with that,
24:11
but we could have said this thirty years ago, like, oh,
24:15
they'll never replace manufacturing jobs. You know, guys got to screw the nuts
24:18
and all this shit. And Mike big conspiracy is they want to work with
24:23
society. Yeah, that is that is one hundred years from now is what
24:26
they want. And that and that's the whole universal government, universal basic income,
24:33
and no, it'll be no one traveling anywhere anymore. Everyone will be
24:36
just in their little there. The world will be overpopulated and they'll just have
24:38
these colonies and and whatever. Like I mean, it's a little futuristic,
24:42
the thing, but if you go back generations, you know, like my
24:47
parents and your parents, and they're like, you know, they never I
24:49
never even you know, I'm only twenty years older than you, but I'm
24:52
never Like when I was your age, what I didn't thought like we'd be
24:56
where we are, right, you know, I did think we were going
24:59
to have flying cars. But you'll see that would be pretty cool. But
25:07
yeah, like I just that's what I feel like, so nothing would surprise
25:11
me. Like I just feel like pretty much, I think the three you
25:15
mentioned are solid for the next twenty five years, right, you know.
25:18
But again, like you know, I thought the CD was it. I
25:26
joined the clubs, and now they're just obsolutely nobody has a car unless you
25:30
know. I still look for laptops. But I remember I was looking for
25:34
a laptop and I wanted it to have like a DVD player in it because
25:37
I'm like, I don't like when you're on the plane, I want to
25:41
be able to put a DVD in there. I don't want to have to
25:42
download stuff and then we'll pay for something I already have, Like I have
25:47
the DVD, so let me just get there's like no laptops with h DVD
25:52
player mine. I still have mine that has it. But it's so old
25:56
that I have to keep it plugged in to even use it. But I'm
25:59
just like, there's no laptops with DVD players because again there's also that notion
26:03
And sorry, this is going a little bit off topic of AI about own
26:07
nothing. Be happy. They want us to download everything. I think about
26:11
the simple fact that I pay for Apple Music every single month, and I'm
26:15
like, hey, that's six ninety nine. Because I'm still using maybe I
26:18
shouldn't say. Maybe I'm gonna sish to myself. I'm still using my college
26:22
emails. I get to pay a little bit less for Apple Music. But
26:26
like, I'm like, maybe that's six ninety nine that I'm paying those six
26:29
dollars I can just pay ninety nine cents to Actually, if they're still nine
26:33
nine cents, I'm not sure how much music is anymore. So actually was
26:37
like a dollar twenty nine just for one song. This is crazy. So
26:40
I was so I'm like, those let's just let's just make it even and
26:42
just call it a dollar. But every single I've been paying for Apple Music
26:48
for the last three years, those six dollars I could have brought a few
26:52
songs that are actually minds forever and I like to if I ever want to
26:56
become a DJ, you have to have those songs on file. You can't
27:00
you can't have and it's like crazy to think about. They want us to
27:03
be in a society where it's like own nothing, be happy, But that
27:07
is what also motivates me to own everything so I can be happy because again,
27:11
when it comes down to that, AI taken over and then maybe we're
27:14
in one of those societies where the government is just funding us money. It's
27:18
not to say I don't want to be on the same level as everybody else,
27:21
but I do want to have things that are mind that are lucrative as
27:23
well, and not have you know, a robot doing everything for me that
27:27
might turn on me one day, but that's that's a different story. But
27:30
having robots doing everything for us and we're just supposed to be living in this
27:33
mundane society and doing nothing, like I do want to work for some of
27:37
the stuff I have and own some of the things that I that I've worked
27:41
for, like like a house for example. That's why, you know,
27:44
I don't know if this is again an off topic, big companies buying up
27:48
all the houses, own nothing, be happy, and they can change the
27:51
price however they want. That's why I'm like I had when I was twenty
27:55
five, I'm like, I'm buying my house. There's no way I'm going
27:57
to be renting. What's the ship? Why can not Blackwater? Uh ship?
28:06
That's that big that big finance company, Blackrock black Rock, And they
28:10
came out and they came out. They came out with a well Blackwater was
28:14
a military yeah, they they they made they made a statement the other not
28:22
the other day, maybe like four months ago that you know, they're being
28:26
accused of buying up all these multi family homes and they've made this big statement
28:30
that's that's not what we're doing. We're not in like just follow the money
28:33
trail. It was. It may not be you, but it's it's somebody,
28:37
Yeah, it's it's yeah, there's somebody who works for you. Yeah.
28:41
They want everyone runting. You know, ownership. You know, I
28:45
think ownership is it's gonna be hard to get right now because there's just so
28:47
many goddamn houses and how much canoerates buy up. But back to the CD
28:52
thing, So just just yesterday, So this is how like old I am.
28:57
I grew up with video games, you know, and then you know,
29:00
there's Xbox and PlayStation, so I will PlayStation four. My girlfriend's son
29:06
we got me the new Xbox X or whatever it is for Christmas. And
29:11
I grew up on this college NCAA football. It's like Madden but for the
29:17
college, and that's what we played in college when I was at University of
29:21
New Haven. It was like it just brought back so many memories and they
29:23
were never able to re release it until these nil deals came out and they're
29:26
paying the players now, so now they can put names under schools. So
29:30
now the game is coming out like next week, so I'm like, oh,
29:34
I gotta get this. I'll just play it on my fucking couch,
29:37
but everyone's in bed, you know, by myself from this when I was
29:38
sucking in my twenties. And it's not available for PS four, so it's
29:44
only coming out in the PS five, which I do not have, and
29:47
it's not Xbox. But I'm not playing it in his bedroom. PS five
29:49
will be in the living room. So I made the mistake of mentioning to
29:52
him that I may have to buy a PS five to get this game,
29:56
and he just was like, oh my god, like he's fourteen. If
30:00
you get this, I'm gonna get that. I'm like, hold on,
30:03
you get four fifty on the thing and for one game. And then I
30:11
realized they're like disc liss now just download the out yeah, yep, yep.
30:15
And so I kind of knew some of the games are like that,
30:18
but they're pretty much going to that now. So that like kills like the
30:22
video game stores and all that. But he said that whatever games you have
30:26
on your PS four that are installed, you can reinstall it right like you
30:32
own it, like right, you know, it's not like I mean,
30:34
I guess you own our music when we buy it. It's just in the
30:37
cloud and I phone and you still have it. So this way everything's going
30:41
now. Really, if you look at it, is a form of AI.
30:44
I mean it is. And it's another that's another scary thing to me
30:47
as well, because it's like what is it called when they do things little
30:52
by little so that you get used to it and you just accept it.
30:56
There's a word for it, I forget, like not programming, but yeah,
31:00
I know you like yeah, like in movies, like when they show
31:03
certain things and then it happens in real life and you're like, where did
31:06
I see that, yeah, like something similar, yeah, yeah, And
31:11
when I think about that, because again I look at it in a negative
31:12
way as well. Okay, And it goes back to the whole own nothing.
31:17
Be happy. If we get into a society where everything is in a
31:21
cloud and a government doesn't like what you're doing, they could take it all
31:23
away because you don't physically own that thing. Granted, yes, even yes,
31:30
and I heard that in like one of your and I'm just like,
31:33
I heard that in one of your podcasts as well. What happened to your
31:36
friend's dad, I believe, or something like that, or with your So
31:40
it's just like they can take it all away. Granted, even your house
31:44
eminent domain they can take away from you. But at the end of the
31:45
day, that's a lot harder to have to pay you out for it.
31:48
But if they don't like you and they want to at the smallest take away
31:51
all your video games, they can. Because it's in a cloud, it's
31:53
no longer a physical thing that you get to keep, and then it's just
31:59
like something just scary to think about. And with AI again, they could
32:02
do the same thing if you have robots doing things for you. Oh,
32:06
we don't like what you're doing, we're gonna shut down your robot. Or
32:07
again, if the robot doesn't like what you're doing, we're gonna kill you.
32:12
But it's just like, oh, can I say that? Can I
32:14
okay? Okay, okay, But it's just one of those things where it
32:19
just all comes down to, like, AI, yes, right now,
32:22
I'm in the stance of where I do like it. I see some of
32:24
the pros Alexa is amazing. When I met Tesla and it was driving from
32:29
me, a bit scary but amazing. Oh no, no, no,
32:32
When it turned a corner, I'm like, I grabbed the will I'm like,
32:36
yeah, I like, I could never get used to that. But
32:38
then I just looked down the line at the things that you said, like
32:40
deep fakes where you don't know what's what's what, Like you can have somebody's
32:45
you can have somebody else's face, you can have somebody else's voice. I
32:49
don't know if you've seen that Drake when that went that kind of went viral
32:52
where I literally thought that was a Drake song. Yeah yeah, yeah,
32:55
like they did it with basically every like with everyone and that and again that
32:59
could trickle to government. You can have Trump's which is not really Trump saying
33:04
something outland is to offend another country or something like that, and then it
33:08
starts a war that was never meant to happen the other And so it's just
33:15
like I see the positives. I definitely see the positives, and I'm using
33:27
the positive sides of it, but then there's literally the negatives, like the
33:30
AI listening to you. I tell my friends, I'm like, I have
33:32
alex A over my household. If you want to be scarce about what you
33:36
say, it feel free, but I'm never gonna be yeah, yeah,
33:39
yeah. And like you said, our phone is to us. I remember
33:42
having a conversation about B lights when I used to sell lighting, and all
33:45
of a sudden, on my phone there's B lights. I never looked it
33:49
up on my phone, so why are there B shaped lights on my phone
33:53
when I was verbally talking to my coworker about it before even looking it up.
33:58
And it's just like that's type of stuff where it's just like AI in
34:02
this stuff getting smarter as time goes on is kind of scary where I don't
34:07
see the positive in it, But for right now, it's a plus.
34:10
For right now. You've seen like the movie casino or any of those holes.
34:15
I'm the worst. I'm literally the worst. I'm not a big movie
34:17
person. So there's this movie Casino. It's like Joe Pesci and robertson Niro
34:22
and it's it's about the casino Las Vegas and like the sixties and seventies at
34:25
least before the boomhead and they were they were mobsters. And it's just like
34:30
as we're talking about, these phones are following you. So there's these scenes
34:32
where they have to talk. They're not friends anymore, but they have to
34:36
talk and they can't talk over the phone because everything's tapped. So they literally
34:38
like go out into the street. They meet somewhere. They both like put
34:42
their hands on their mouth and they're just talking the middle of the roads and
34:45
over here and the FBI's crossed street taking picture. Is that's the only way.
34:49
And I almost feel like like like this I don't even need to probably
34:52
film this, and like it's like it's all in here right, it's listening
34:55
right. It's the thing that scares me about AI too. It is like
34:58
they don't have a they don't have a bad memory. They remember every everything,
35:01
everything, everything you say, do look at like you know. I
35:07
tell you know, I try to navigate. Braden's his name, my colfriend's
35:09
son, and I try to navigate like he's just he's from Xbox to phone
35:15
to you know. The air pods are awful for you. Oh I know.
35:17
I'll have it in my ear and I'm like, wait, i gotta
35:20
take it out where my ear is like like it's I mean, they've done
35:22
tests on these things. They're terrible. And but you know, you know,
35:25
it's always in. You know, he'll like literally like walk around the
35:29
house or you know, watching TikTok reels or whatever, like he just watches
35:32
like you know, he likes cough shit, He's just watching dumb videos.
35:36
He's not like he is not doing deep dives like me. But but then,
35:40
you know, so I'm telling him and then I find myself in the
35:43
couch at ten at night and I just like start one rail and then they
35:46
just they're all related. And then the next thing, you know, I'm
35:50
like that was just a half hour. I as one right right hell,
35:53
which got me into honestly a lot of these conspiracy theories because twenty years ago,
36:00
you know, you were just nine years old. I was your age
36:02
and you didn't. It wasn't like you, just like you, just like
36:07
So this is going to bring me to nine to eleven, and we'll go
36:10
back to AI in a bit, but I just want to talk about nine
36:13
eleven for a little bit. Let's go like, so nine to eleven was
36:19
weird for me because I literally it was a Tuesday morning and I had a
36:23
golf tournament on Monday and it was just a fucking drink fest. And I
36:29
got home Monday night and I just crashed. And I woke up the next
36:34
morning at noon. Okay, this shit happened at like eight fifty two am,
36:38
and I had what was called you mean, I don't know what this
36:40
is. It's an answering machine. Oh stop. I was like, wait
36:45
what? I had an answering machine? And I'm waking up and getting the
36:51
crust out of my eye? What the hell happened yesterday? Shit? And
36:54
I got like twenty seven messages on my answering machine and they start out innocently,
37:00
it's my mom, Hey, Josh, Mom's checking in. Seeah,
37:01
yesterday was blah blah bla blahoot raise foot raiseoot erase, and then it's like
37:07
turn on the TV, Wanner attack dooot erase, and then I'm like,
37:08
wait, what was that? It's the race. The whole on was funny.
37:12
I just went into like you know, and now everyone's calling me like
37:14
where the are, Like they don't know they for all I know that like
37:16
I have a lot of family. It was a mask. I could have
37:19
been in New York. They don't know what I'm not here, like you
37:22
know whatever. So I turned on the TV like like auto program at the
37:24
Sports Center and it's you know, obviously they're reporting this too, so they're
37:29
all reporting. Yeah, like every wasn't every theory channel like it was like
37:30
no matter you could watching cartoons and it was like yeah, everything was was
37:35
was focused on this, whether they clicking an ABC feet or something. So
37:38
you sat there stuck for two hours just watching that ship, you know,
37:42
and then you got to get your day going and and and and and but
37:45
you couldn't, you know, and it was just weird. It's like,
37:47
I mean, I wasn't there. I mean I didn't. I literally slept
37:51
through and I tell everybody and that image, the images of the towers going
37:55
down and what they kept repeating to you, and it's just it's just for
37:59
like five years you just thought it was this awful thing like that was perpetrated
38:04
by awful people. And then the Internet came around, like really the Internet,
38:09
and I didn't think much of it for a few more years. And
38:14
then it was about ten years ago, I think maybe a little less maybe
38:16
eight, that I started diving into it a little bit. And there was
38:21
a really good documentary about ten years ago that now my commentary is going to
38:27
stay away from the Twin Towers. A lot of people can you know,
38:30
you can find all this shit on the internet about what steel melts at,
38:38
you know, and you know, I'm pretty convinced too. Planes crashed into
38:43
the towers. What happened after that is really disputable whether that could have taken
38:47
the towers down or there were you know, a lot of videos you watch
38:51
and I always say to people that watched these conspiracy videos or any kind of
38:54
video, the director was slanting in a certain way. Always, so they
39:00
want you to have your mind made up after it's over in their lights.
39:06
And I noticed you wrote something on your Instagram that had Sandy hook on it.
39:10
Yeah, and that's something after what happened to Whatson's name. I don't
39:15
really want to talk about Sandy Hook. We could talk off about it.
39:17
Oh no, it wasn't. It wasn't anything to do. It was more
39:20
of pre programming, that's what it was, pre programmed. Yeah, that's
39:24
so with all those work correlating to pre programming for for them not being a
39:30
not becoming disassociated with things like that that happened in the world. Now,
39:34
So that was it was a whole different topic that I had in my head.
39:37
So no, I no, I don't want to talk. It happened.
39:40
Yeah, that's that's undisputable. Yeah, it's awful, but that's a
39:45
whole other conversation. Literally, No, I wasn't gonna go. That's like
39:49
one topic that no, no, no, no, no, no,
39:52
that's like one of those off limit things. Again. That's why I was
39:57
like, it's off limit. Yeah, make up you know, your own
40:00
mind. Whatever. But then there's two incidents that I've done some research on,
40:07
which was the Seventh Building that collapsed as well that was not struck by
40:10
a plane, and the Pentagon, which they say a plane crashed into.
40:15
But then you see the videos. Yes, so let's start with the Pentagon
40:19
because it's fresh in my mind. I wa washed it this morning. So
40:22
everyone thinks that a plane was you know, hijacked. It flew at a
40:27
really low altitude, basically ground level into the Pentagon and the explosion and it
40:32
just happened to be that Donald Rumsfield, who was you know, the military
40:36
director was on the other side, was at his side, and that was
40:40
the chaos of the moment, like you just believed it. And then the
40:44
plane crashed in Pennsylvania, right, So there's the four planes. So after
40:51
this Pentagon thing kind of started, like everyone's like, wait, what,
40:54
So the FBI came in immediately, now mind you what's going on in New
40:59
York. FBI comes in immediately and basically sequesters all video recordings from the Pentagon,
41:07
from the gas stations that go from the you know, the the hotels
41:10
that anyone that could physically see this plane crash into it they got rid of.
41:15
And then about a year later they posted this video and yeah, it's
41:22
one like it's almost like three still frames that they make into a movie.
41:28
Yeah. Yeah, and you literally see nothing but an explosion. You just
41:31
kind of see like maybe a wing, but it just and then just an
41:37
explosion and the explosion kind of comes outward and I don't know, it's weird.
41:42
So then they interviewed everyone that was there that day, and there was
41:46
a plane. There's no disputing that there was not a plane. But they
41:51
collaborated with like four or five guys or corroborated, i should say, their
41:55
eyewitness account. And so there's the south side on the north side, and
41:59
they all say the plane flew up on the north side of the highway coming
42:02
down. And then but the route had to be the south side because the
42:07
angle of the plane came in there's no way it could have gone basically over
42:09
the navel barracks and down and then take an immediate left turn and get it
42:14
on the ground and go right into the and then so then the plane.
42:17
So then there was a guy that was like across the street and he said,
42:22
he so there's this thing where it clipped the lights, like the bove
42:25
the light pole and he said he didn't see that. And he said,
42:30
all I saw was the plane go like just up and then I just saw
42:35
an explosion. So this is an eyewitness saying he saw the plane basically go
42:39
back up when he crossed the highway. And this is coming from the north
42:43
side, still has to be the south side. It hits it right,
42:45
and and then then he goes, I didn't see anything. I just saw
42:49
a big explosion and a cloud smoke. So now when they looked at the
42:54
wreckage, like there was literally when you see plane stuff on the internet or
42:59
or you know, like the Malaysian ship washes up on shore and there's there's
43:04
nothing. There's no engine pieces, there's no tail, there's no wings,
43:07
there's no fusel lodges, there's nothing. And at this so there's there's levels
43:13
of the Pentagon and it's like I think it's like E D CBA or something.
43:16
Then there's a courtyard in the middle. Well, the courtyard in the
43:21
middle is literally a circle like this of the explosion. It's like a perfect
43:24
circle. So they're suggesting like a fucking a missile. Just fucking shit right
43:30
there, because on that side was where all the important ship that they wanted
43:32
to disappear, like the ship they want to disappear at the World Trade Set
43:36
or information wise. Yeah, it was just it was like perfect and like
43:40
there's these steel beams that if the plane hit it at that speed and that
43:45
like trajectory would have taken the beams out and the beams were still standing.
43:51
It's like crazy, Like I wish I could like show you, I mean
43:52
I could literally show you after the show, but like these are like these
43:57
are this is shit you could just find right on the internet has these pictures,
44:00
these photos, and you kind of make it make up your own mind
44:04
on it, right, But like it's just like it's crazy, Like like
44:08
is our government or governments in the world, they're that fucking maniacal, Yeah,
44:15
and devious just to what to cover up exactly because you fuckers get it
44:20
away with it anyway. Yeah, that's what I don't get. Yeah,
44:22
it's like you guys blatantly lie like the next day the championships, that's what
44:27
we're going and you're pressure out of the carpet and it's like wait, wait,
44:30
time out, wait what happened twenty one years ago or now twenty three
44:35
years ago? Like holy shit. And they have no disregard for human life
44:38
either when they when they do this stuff. It's like, you're so willing
44:42
to cover up whatever you have going on. It's not gonna change anything.
44:45
We're we're still moving forward no matter what, just because I don't know whatever
44:50
you're trying to cover up came out. There's no way it's going to affect
44:52
our tomorrow, Well you would hope, but there's no way it's gonna affect
44:55
our tomorrow. So you would rather take away human life, which sorry I
45:01
was gonna say, I was gonna say, Ai, you know, robot's
45:04
not gonna care about us, so you rather take away I'm like, if
45:07
humans don't care about humans to cover up a secret, people do it every
45:12
day, take off people every day. But like a lot of people,
45:15
your own buildings, granted they have the money to rebuild them, and then
45:19
also do a bad job at covering it up. So it's just like you
45:22
did all that for what Because now you have people looking into it further now
45:25
with internet and everything, and once you go into the deep dives and everything
45:29
you just said, mind blowing. None of it makes sense. Like Osama
45:34
bin Lavin, Yeah, used to be basically an employee of the United States.
45:37
He literally was before he went on his little you know, be basically
45:42
fucked him over, and he's like, fuck America. That's why they all
45:45
hate us. They don't hate human be We're just living our lives, doing
45:49
our things exactly, and if we're gonna launch rockets at them, they want
45:53
to be able to like like Iran right, Biden gave right, I ran
45:58
all his money back, and now are they doing They're starting a nuclear program.
46:01
We'll go So the seventh building, So the seven building is one of
46:08
the buildings. I think World Trade Center was like one and two, and
46:10
then there's all the other buildings, so the seven building. I actually had
46:14
a buddy of mine that was working that day at the seventh building, and
46:16
I remember trying to contact him, but like there was no cell service because
46:20
everyone was on trying to get on cell service, so it's like nothing sells,
46:22
didn't work. And I believe like one one of the towers had a
46:25
cell tower on it too, so that kind of shut down a lot of
46:28
communication. So so I call him that like two days later, he gets
46:30
a hold of me. I'm like, what the fuck do you do?
46:31
It's like I literally walked across the bridge to get back into Connecticut, like
46:35
like like I walked when they hit, I walked. And then he goes,
46:39
I found out the next day that my building collapsed, and I'm like,
46:43
what was that plane hit your building? He's like no, and I'm
46:45
like, well, why the fuck it collapsed? Like what happened? He
46:49
was on and off. It must have a fire, and I'm like,
46:51
okay, you just take it as that's what happened. So this is the
46:57
one that fascinates me the most. So I actually today they've seen a lot
47:00
of documentary design too. Today I went to AI, I went to chat
47:04
GPT, and I asked them, hold on, let me see if I've
47:07
never used chat GPT. By the way, okay, hold on, never
47:09
used it. I guess they will lower it up. It's very slanted because
47:15
you know, everything is okay. So I typed in, why did the
47:19
seven building collapse? And then it says the collapse of the World Trade Center
47:23
has been subject of extensive investigation analysis quote official report, blah blah blah blah,
47:29
and here's number one fire induced the damage. World Trade Center Center was
47:32
struck by debris from the collapse of the nearby North Tower, which I could
47:37
see, which ignited fires and multiple floors. These fires were fed by office
47:43
furnitures and other combustible materials. People are disputing whether jet fuel could take down
47:50
steel beams in the World Trade Center, burning it like fucking ten thousand degrees.
47:53
We're talking about office furnishings and combustible materials that cause structural failure which caused
48:01
it to collapse. That I'll just leave it, like, are you fucking
48:06
kidding? Oh, the couch is on fire, Run out of the building.
48:08
Both things can go down, Like that building was not as fall as
48:13
obviously there, et cetera. But they fucking they were shitting there and they
48:16
took it down. When I heard that, when I finally like saw like
48:21
I was really curious. Even back in the day, I'm like, oh
48:23
wait a second, that there. They just really wanted to three. I
48:29
mean, this building was too low like the pad on and they couldn't like
48:31
hit it with a plane, so they just detonated it. Because if you
48:35
watched it, I didn't want to get into this, but if you watch
48:37
the two towers go down, you would literally see like these gusts of air
48:42
come down before the pancaking of it. You're watching it and it's just like
48:47
you know, when you're watching it live or you're watching it. You know,
48:50
I used to watch all the nine eleven, like I nine to eleven,
48:52
Like History Channel would have something, and they're fascinating to watch. You
48:55
know. As sad as that day was, it's just you find yourself glued
48:59
to the TV watching it because you I mean, I know you were young,
49:01
but you were not young enough, you know, to not remember it
49:05
right, you know, even in school. So I'm sure you guys talked
49:07
about it. You don't want to know what great I was in. I've
49:08
probably like, no, I was in like kindergarten. I think I keep
49:15
saying it was twenty years ago. It's twenty three years ago, all right.
49:22
I just remember going home early. That was it. That's crazy.
49:28
I know, I remember just going home early and not understanding. It's kind
49:30
of weird being adjacent though, Like I've always thought about that kind of stuff,
49:36
like if you know, New York is a mecca, Miami's a mecca.
49:42
DC is a mecca of where there's a lot of people, so of
49:45
course if they're going to do anything, they want to hit you know,
49:47
the big places. And sometimes just think about like we're literally adjacent. We're
49:52
not that far if something big enough if they want to attack New York.
49:57
Yeah yeah, I was like, we're screwed. Screw yeah. Yeah.
50:00
Like I'm like, should I move No, you know, but I'm just
50:02
like literally like Hartford and even Bridgeport has the big banks. Hartford has always
50:07
New Haven pizza, Like it's I think that we do have something nuclear and
50:16
New Haven it's under I actually live. Oh well, I used, Well
50:21
my parents still live there. Yeah, yep, yep, I sold.
50:25
I've sold to them before, not not anything to kill. Yeah, but
50:31
no, it's like we're I just think about this and I'm like, we're
50:35
literally adjacent or parallel whatever you want to whatever you want to call it.
50:38
I'm like, yeah, we're in the blast zone. But I'm like,
50:42
yeah, no, I don't unfortunately remember. I just but it's part of
50:45
It's part of my history though, no matter how old I was, as
50:46
part of my history. And it's just to think about people being born after
50:51
that and it's not a part of their history necessarily, like they didn't live
50:53
through it. I like to say, is that your first like I remember
50:55
where I was moment in life? Yeah, you have hazy memories of it.
51:00
Like I said, I remember being in kindergarten going home early, but
51:04
I was more happy about going home early. And then now looking back at
51:07
it, it's just like, oh, yeah, no, that wasn't I
51:09
remember where I lived and everything. Yeah, so I guess it is like
51:12
you're where you were kind of moment that I was talking about this in previous
51:15
podcast was the Space Shuttle in eighty six. They like wheeled in the TVs
51:20
and here, yeah, like they like it's almost like they wheeled them in
51:23
before it blew up. It's like, wait a second. But it makes
51:31
me sad that I could never that, Like it's one thing though that makes
51:35
me sad. I could never experience ever being like not saying I was there.
51:38
No, I don't. Nobody wants to be like having gone to the
51:42
towers, like at least my mom, you were able to like see like
51:45
see them phodos Worth. I don't know if you've ever been, but what
51:47
I'm saying is like like you were around, Yeah, you've you've probably passed
51:52
it. I mean I now see you know the place. I mean the
51:54
building that's now in this place. I've been to the memorial and everything like
51:58
that. So I get to say that I don't that to go down clearly,
52:00
but it's just like it's one of those things where it's like I got
52:02
robbed. I never get to experience actually going there. I was around.
52:06
It's unfortunate, it's definitely an unfortunate event. But you know, and that
52:09
makes me. Sorry, this is like an off topic thing, but like
52:13
when when when extremists like ruin things, it just it just makes me sad.
52:19
Sometimes I'm like it's something I would get to experience. Like I remember
52:22
when it's some extremists I don't know what country they were like literally like tearing
52:25
apart some of the monuments and things that were built in eights of time,
52:30
like and I'm just like, why I know that, Like it's just like
52:35
there's's no care in the world. Yeah, yeah, I'm like why attack
52:37
something new? Like I'm just like, I'm like, it's just something that
52:42
you don't It's just it's just baffling to me because I'm like I wanted to
52:45
be I would never be able to, you know, do that. But
52:47
I was when I was doing the research, I was like looking at people
52:51
that were like this guy, I think he was just there the day before.
52:53
He has pictures of being there, he had videos, and of course
52:57
he was gonna go show off his video to his friends that he was there
52:59
to day before to prove it, because you know, when you're young,
53:00
friends don't believe it. The whole entire thing, his whole entire camera breaks
53:05
and before he gets to even show up. But it's just like literally,
53:07
it's it's it's just crazy to think about that. That's what I like saying.
53:10
I literally slept through it. Yeah, like literally literally took out of
53:14
the beach and I live right by the beach in West Dave and it probably
53:16
saw some smoke in the skyline. But and I just moved back from Florida,
53:20
so a lot of phone calls were people from Florida. No, I
53:28
don't know where I was when Sandy Hook cappened, though, And I don't
53:30
know where I was. No, that was there only like a CNN report
53:34
on my phone, and I'm like, Sandy Hook, Sandy Hook. I'm
53:36
like, I know that's near us, you know, but yeah it was.
53:42
I don't know. Like when you just said like extremists, like you
53:44
know, it's like breaking ship. I almost feel like that's what's that mentality
53:50
is coming into this country, Like you know, whether you fucking like the
53:54
thought of Christopher Columbus or whatever, these statues are ripping down and it's just
53:59
it's it's not even questions asked anymore. It's not even a debate, it's
54:02
not a town hall meeting. Fucking knock it down and it's right. You
54:07
know, first of all, the people don't put into effect or account that
54:10
people were conditioned to build these and spent probably years on making them, and
54:16
you just want to tie a rope around and drag it down like you want
54:22
to remove. Okay, well, let's do it the proper way exactly,
54:24
and then we can put it to a place that where it doesn't offend you,
54:28
or put it in a museum or put it somewhere because it was crafted
54:31
by exactly. And it's just I feel like that kind of when you need
54:37
that triggered me. Yeah, it's kind of what's going out of this country
54:39
some places. I'm old ship because someone read that he was a racist,
54:46
and I don't know, it's it's it's a crazy it's literally crazy. I'm
54:52
like people people don't think anymore. People just go off of feeling, which
54:55
is to me, like you have to have both. You have to have
54:58
a feeling, and you know, not wherewithal but intelligence. People are just
55:04
going off a feeling and following. At the end of the day. The
55:07
people are just sheep, so they'll do crazy things like that for literally no
55:12
reason. And I'm like, yeah, literal little followers, Yep, exactly
55:15
exactly. I never. I never. I'm like, I can't even at
55:21
the minimal. I'm like, look at it. It's I always make this
55:22
joke. I'm like, when I'm driving, I'm like, look at these
55:24
people in one lane and there's a whole other lane that's open. Nobody wants
55:29
that lane. I'm like, I'm going right in that one. I'm like,
55:31
you guys are all sheep there, You're all going straight, Like why
55:35
are you not in this lane over here? They all do the same thing.
55:37
But yeah, no, But what I was also in the goal this
55:40
is like another off topic thing, Like I said, the reason why I
55:43
had like nine to eleven Sandy hook isis in a pandemic. More ices in
55:49
a pandemic kind of go together a little bit more and I'll get there.
55:52
It's because I was thinking about it when like I was thinking of conspiracy theories
55:55
about how things happen, and it's never talked about again. Like now,
56:02
I do remember where I was when Isis was doing this thing around the world
56:07
in America, and I remember I was in college and that situation happened on
56:12
the train where one of them I thinks was trying to stab somebody and a
56:15
good Samaritan was able to like stop it. Do you know how much I
56:20
was freaked out by like, and I had to take trains to get home,
56:22
and I was like, it's like what pushed me when I got back
56:27
out of college and started working to get a newer car because my parents wouldn't
56:30
let me bring my car up to college because it was too old. But
56:34
it was what pushed me to get a newer car because I was afraid to
56:37
take trains and stuff like that. And it's kind of like it happened,
56:40
and now no one talks about it anymore, and like I feel like this
56:44
happened also, Like that's what's also happening with the pandemic, is like it
56:47
happened literally four years ago, and nobody talks about it anymore. And I
56:54
have my thoughts on that does not have to release their findings until like seventy
57:00
five. Well, I'll be you know, you'll still be Yeah, I
57:06
don't want to. I personally don't want to be kicking. I probably won't.
57:08
I'll be literally one hundred and something if that's the case. I think.
57:13
No, I mean we're we're like we're like yeah, like something I
57:15
don't want to be around. I don't want to be around I like,
57:17
you know, my father got blessed soul. He passed just before eighty.
57:21
That was kind of been my whole life, like eighties good, Yeah,
57:23
I think so, yeah, eighty I might reassess yeah or not. And
57:29
I just I want to be mentally there, like physically if I'm in a
57:31
real chair whatever, if I'm mentally still there and I could talk yep and
57:36
hold a conversation and I'm dude, don't let me go. Yeah. That
57:38
was my great grandmother's she lived I think up until ninety something. She was
57:43
able. She went to live in her own house for the rest of her
57:45
life. She couldn't at a certain point. But I go to I call
57:49
them old wool homes for work, and I'm just like, do every want
57:53
to live into that age? They look they look great the people that I
57:55
see when I go there. But I'm like, do I really want to
57:58
live into that age? Like when falling actually falling now is not fun,
58:02
So I don't want to so so yeah, And this also brought the topic
58:09
of the pandemic to mine too, is because I'm just like, I really
58:13
thought about him like, no, wonder, why no? And this is
58:15
no offense, but why they were taken out so easy? Because I'm like,
58:19
they live in these communities where one person has it and it just like
58:22
freaking spreads. But it's just crazy to me. How now we don't talk
58:24
about it anymore. Now we don't talk about the fact that you didn't need
58:27
the shot. Wait, hold on, wait, where do you stand on
58:30
that? I'm I'm so pissed that I am, and it was and it
58:35
was because I didn't do it by choice. It was that whole job situation.
58:39
I worked for a really really large company and they were like, well,
58:42
if you don't get it four two weeks later for them to be like
58:45
never mind and I already got it, and I'm just like, what was
58:49
the reason? What was the reason? Literally? But he's not being held
58:53
accountable for making these mandates and people losing their jobs and now it's just like,
58:58
oh, wait, we really didn't need to do that. She admitted
59:00
to it. Exactly what the fuck are we talking about here? Yes,
59:05
that's I mean, yeah, yeah, And it's like you're not allowed to
59:08
sue them, Like if you get the shot, that's the crazy and you're
59:12
putting the virus. You can't sue the government no matter what happens to you.
59:16
That's part of the deal. And it's like WHOA. So I will
59:21
say I was always anti vax but there was a point when they told me
59:23
I couldn't go to concerts and do like no seriously, yeah, yeah,
59:28
yeah, maybe I'll just get the Johnson and Johnson right, ye, And
59:30
I've said this story million times, but I want your listeners to here.
59:34
People are listening to you. I went, I scheduled the Johnson Johnson.
59:37
My brother called me a couple of days later and he's like, yo,
59:39
you get the shot yet, And I said no. He goes, dude,
59:43
don't do it. I know what happened. He goes and he got
59:45
a different one. He got like the vizor or whatever. Remember Durnham.
59:47
Maybe he got the shot. He sat down. He remembers the nurse walking
59:55
up to him, and then he woke up in the hospital. They said
59:59
his eyes went white, he went to like anaphylactic shock. And I'm like,
1:00:02
okay. So I actually had a doctor's WoT me a couple of days
1:00:06
later. So I went to my doctors like are you vaccinated? I said
1:00:07
never, and I told him a story and my doctor school, and he's
1:00:10
like, listen, it's completely up to you. It's not always been a
1:00:14
choice. I should have never been that. You know, I work in
1:00:15
a bar. Like they're not going to mandate them there. I was like,
1:00:20
you know what, you know, I love my brother, so glad
1:00:22
it happened to him first, you know, thanks for taking the bullet for
1:00:27
me, bro, you know. But like I was just like, what
1:00:30
the fuck was I even what was I even thinking? So my girlfriend had
1:00:32
to take it from work. Her son took it twice. And it's a
1:00:38
topic I want to deep dive into, but I won't, okay, because
1:00:43
of them and I got it and everything, like because I read a lot
1:00:47
of stuff and this includes you, and it's just like, I just I
1:00:52
know it's minimal, it's low percentage, but it's a percentage that no one
1:00:55
needed attached to them. I feel like because I got twice. And what's
1:01:01
funny though, is the COVID that I got before the shot was amazing.
1:01:06
And sorry, again I don't want to offend, but the COVID that I
1:01:07
got before was amazing. I was like moving not sick, La La wal
1:01:13
Clear. I was said but like not sick. I didn't. I didn't
1:01:15
I for a week. I didn't know I had it. It was literally
1:01:19
around people. None of them caught it for me, none of them got
1:01:22
it. And I was I was. I was in my parents' house,
1:01:24
they didn't get it. I was at work, nobody got it. I
1:01:28
didn't realize I had it until I couldn't taste or smell anymore. Like it
1:01:30
was really hard for me to eat popeye'es one day and I'm like, the
1:01:34
last thing I eat was macaroni and gees. Yeah, And I was like,
1:01:37
like I literally had to blow my nose to This is discussing, but
1:01:40
I had to blow my nose to eat. And then but yeah, that's
1:01:47
what it is. And then but granted I get the shot, which is
1:01:52
it doesn't say like it's supposed to, like it's supposed to be a preventative
1:01:54
basically, and it was like you'll never get it. Yeah, you're not
1:02:00
gonna pass it on anybody, like Rachel Madden is famous for. It stops
1:02:02
with you. Everyone get it like wrong, completely wrong, and oh and
1:02:07
by and just to throw this tidbit in what's funny is on my card?
1:02:10
I didn't even realize this. So I did the one where we had to
1:02:13
get two rounds. I got one. Why did the nurse already sign the
1:02:19
second one? I didn't even know I scheduled for the second one. I'm
1:02:22
like, wait, there's already two dates up here. So basically I could
1:02:27
have got away with not even getting the second part of it. Essentially I
1:02:29
still did, though, I end up so now I have like three signatures.
1:02:31
Granted doesn't matter, but like that's my COVID card, that's my girlfriend
1:02:40
hold on, but over here there it is. I used it once to
1:02:45
get into Toad's place for me, uh three doors down concerts, and I
1:02:52
just keep it for like right, yeah, I keep minds in my back
1:02:55
three years ago, like oh my god, because I had a connection to
1:03:00
them. And isn't it like technically against? What is it? What is
1:03:05
that thing called? Like why were we being forced to show that we had
1:03:07
a shot. I forget. I think it is hippop it's against so you're
1:03:10
never just breaking all the rules. So like that we were told you're not
1:03:14
okay? So what to go back on topic? So I get the shot.
1:03:17
I get COVID again last year probably from Stone. I literally got sick
1:03:25
and literally the worst COVID I had, So me not having the shot,
1:03:30
granted, could it's been a fluke had like, you know, an amazing
1:03:32
bout of it. I just couldn't taste or smell. Got the shot my
1:03:36
second belt. Oh my gosh, it was bad. I can taste and
1:03:42
smell. I'd rather not have been able to taste and smell. I was
1:03:45
stuck glued to the toilet with the shakes freezing and also getting hot body and
1:03:51
pain like aches and pain, and I'm like, this is wild. I'm
1:03:55
like, I'm not saying it's because of it, but it's like kind of
1:03:58
weird. The correlation of not having the shot prior and having amazing COVID,
1:04:01
getting the shot, and then like literally being miserable when I got it.
1:04:06
It's made Yeah, exactly, can't taste smell. Some people just have you
1:04:16
nothing on the toilet phone. Yeah, it's like wait a second, man,
1:04:21
Like there it was. It was crazy, and thank gosh at that
1:04:24
point I was working remote, so they just like you had to take it
1:04:28
easy. We're not like and thank god that job didn't make me like,
1:04:30
you know, use all my PTO to cover the two weeks they were just
1:04:33
like they still paid me for it. I could just work from home.
1:04:35
But that was like another thing. I'm like, so you're also because I
1:04:40
mean I remember at the beginning, if you got it, I was a
1:04:43
part of that lucky few that if I got it, they didn't force you
1:04:45
to use your own PTO. They let you leave and you still got your
1:04:48
your pay or whatever. Yeah, yeah, you still got your pay.
1:04:51
But like we'll grant it. Now it's completely different. But remember when they
1:04:55
took that away, and it's just like, well, you get it,
1:04:58
but you're forcing me to not come to work. People get the flu every
1:05:01
day. It still come to work, people get sick. When I was
1:05:03
younger, this is kind of devious. When I would get a cold,
1:05:06
I would literally want to be in public so I can just not so because
1:05:10
my thought was this is bad, this is bad. My thought was that
1:05:13
if somebody else gets hit, then I'll be fine. So I would like
1:05:15
try to like get somebody else to get my colds, because then I every
1:05:17
single time somebody else got my colds, I would be fine after But no,
1:05:24
no, no, I wasn't. That wasn't that person with COVID that
1:05:26
would go on public. I think that that's really shitty to become, really
1:05:29
honest, but especially in the beginning, Yeah, especially in the beginning.
1:05:31
But even when I got it, when it was like chill, I wasn't
1:05:34
going to go on to public and spread it like. I just was like,
1:05:36
I'm just going to stay home. And plus my second round was also
1:05:40
physically impairing me, so there's also that. But I'm just like, they
1:05:45
were forcing you to not be at work for fourteen days and use your own
1:05:48
sick and PTO. That's not fair. I got forced to stay home for
1:05:54
fucking seven weeks because the restaurant closed. Oh well, you were getting paid
1:05:57
for that though, right. Well, so here's the thing. So what
1:06:00
happened with this shitty state of ours is we can all file for unemployment.
1:06:04
Now, I think you get a pretty good sense of the kind of money
1:06:06
I can make it stone break, So six hundred dollars a week really isn't
1:06:10
cutting. Nope. And when everyone went on, every restaurant employee in fucking
1:06:14
Connecticut, they had this archaic system at unemployment and it just crashed. So
1:06:19
I didn't see my first check till now. Mind you, I take the
1:06:23
month of January off to go to Florida every year. And this is so
1:06:28
February. I just started kind of working again, and this is basically March
1:06:30
around Saint Patrick's Day when we shut down and I don't know that much.
1:06:34
I've just spent it all at credit cards whatever. I'm like, oh fuck,
1:06:38
And I got a mortgage and I got our payment. And this is
1:06:43
not line voting for Trump, but Trump literally saved all of our asses because
1:06:46
he added the extra six six hundred. So we were making twelve hundred dollars
1:06:53
a week since I wish I got that. Yeah, we're sitting home making
1:06:55
tweve more bucks I was considered. And no traffic on the highways. Oh
1:06:59
my gosh. This is also the liquor store. And put a six pass
1:07:02
time I put a six pack of fucking vehicle wasn't around, so I was
1:07:06
like my claw and I literally was just driving up and down West table mil
1:07:10
for beaches until my six pack was done. I to go home, like
1:07:13
dude, wasn't gonna get pulled over. There was nobody on the road,
1:07:15
no one was outside. My windows were down, my fucking some roof was
1:07:19
open. It was like grand It was awesome. I was in New York
1:07:23
actually, yes, I know, this is like morbid. I was in
1:07:25
the I was having a ball, I was able, I was able to
1:07:28
drive, and there was nobody. That's when it because it's around the time
1:07:31
when they open. The restaurant's back up, So this is like some this
1:07:33
became summertime. And it was funny because I would look at him like what
1:07:36
the hell? So like, literally, okay, we're not We're supposed to
1:07:41
be six feet away, but tell me why. Like I seen an apple
1:07:43
Bee's what a table right here? And people are back to back. So
1:07:46
because we're outside, you it can spread through the ear to the next person.
1:07:51
But because we're outside, because you can put the tables right next to
1:07:56
each other, that doesn't make any sense. Fuck you thinking it off and
1:08:00
now I'm vulnerable than yeah, yeah, I will say the one plus those
1:08:09
they liquor going and going out to get liquor was amazing. I remember when
1:08:14
we went to like a restaurant and you know, like when you get like
1:08:15
mimosas, they put it in like a champagne glass, so you're getting jip
1:08:19
because it's like this tiny or whatever. Oh my gosh, that was the
1:08:24
best time to drink too, because they were doing disposable cups, so you
1:08:27
were getting like a freaking like sixteen hours plastic cups and it was like freaking
1:08:30
unlimited all it was. It was a beautiful time to be and like,
1:08:34
I know, the road to being clear. What I dan, this is
1:08:42
great, amazing. Like half half of America if not more, were scared
1:08:45
even Yeah. Yeah, my grandmother went out before I did. I wasn't
1:08:49
scared. But when the restaurants were opened back up, I said, oh,
1:08:53
she's going to restaurants. I'm going to restaurants too. I was.
1:08:56
I was, I was living it up. It was so nice. So
1:08:59
we both were just over it. So when we first like opened up,
1:09:00
you know, only the patio and granted we were very lucky because we had
1:09:03
a lot of patios. Yeah. Yeah, So we had this like long
1:09:06
pole, it was six feet and we measured out all the fucking tables and
1:09:10
we were like blah blah blahlah blah. And I wore those little like scarves
1:09:15
you pull up, you know, and he wore the fucking face field and
1:09:17
we were like that wearing this n ninety five masks in the fucking middle of
1:09:21
the summer outside. Fuck you, I got lucky. I work for a
1:09:24
company that had in ninety five. People were hitting me up like nobody's business
1:09:28
because we were the last company to have them until they will not last.
1:09:30
But like one of the one of the few I had, like I wore
1:09:32
and it probably was unsanitary. I wore my in ninety five until like I
1:09:36
was like, okay, I'm about to just wear like the normal one because
1:09:39
I don't want to walk around like this. I was a person too that
1:09:41
when people were wearing starting to wear a mask, I'm like, I'm going
1:09:44
to store without my people were looking at me like I was the crazy to
1:09:46
then to then find out that six feet didn't even Matt. Yeah, so
1:09:50
actually this is totally get off. So this reminds me I was at so
1:09:56
the mask mandate and so it just came into effect for everywhere. So like
1:10:00
I go to stop and chot right, so stop and chop. Now they
1:10:02
have the arrows you go, you go get up this way now. So
1:10:06
I'm going up an aisle correctly, and my mask is not around my nose,
1:10:14
and this little old lady in her cart's going the wrong way and points
1:10:17
it out to me, and I said, well, if you went the
1:10:20
fuck it right way. And then I stopped and I'm like, you know
1:10:24
what, she's just programmed, right, it's not her fault, right,
1:10:29
like this is this is how ridiculous this is yep, And I said,
1:10:31
I'm sorry, man, man, I just pulled it up. I said,
1:10:33
I don't, I don't. I don't need to argue with you.
1:10:36
I don't know you, right, And you're just this is what you've been
1:10:39
taught and told. There's just like everyone else whatever. You remember how they
1:10:42
were putting it down like their throat too, like clearly because they were more
1:10:45
vulnerable, because whatever. But it didn't matter really what you were. Like
1:10:49
I had a cousin, I was completely healthy. People were completely healthy and
1:10:53
getting, like you said, different bouts of it, and then you can
1:10:57
be completely unhealthy and still you know, be fine or whatever. So like
1:11:00
none of it made sense and it's just like just to look back at it,
1:11:03
and I remember, I remember, I remember being in New York.
1:11:05
I think the day after they had it was either the same day of the
1:11:11
day after. I didn't really give a crap, And I remember my contact
1:11:13
fell out of my eye on the subway and guess what I did. Put
1:11:16
the thing back in I said, if I get COVID, I get COVID
1:11:18
because I'm just like, I don't like and I did care at a certain
1:11:23
point, especially when it started to get scary, Like even I yeah,
1:11:27
even I was forty six, I'm like, I wouldn't let people. Yeah,
1:11:31
I was looking for a house then, and like even then, it
1:11:35
was like they were like there were supposed to be a system. You were
1:11:39
supposed to make appointments to see a house. That's how I got COVID in
1:11:42
the first place, because they weren't wiping down the things that you touched in
1:11:45
the house. So that's how I got COVID in the freaking first place.
1:11:48
It just was like it was the oldest camp. Yeah. Yeah. My
1:11:53
mom was like, don't bring it in. I'm like, dude, it's
1:11:55
cardboard. It's cardboard. I'm bringing it in right now, pretty much.
1:12:00
Yeah, yeah, I'm just like I'm bringing it in right now, Like
1:12:03
it's it. I just looking just looking back at it, it's just like
1:12:08
that was literally chaos. And I sposed I was supposed to go on a
1:12:10
trip, and I would have been on the trip when it became like an
1:12:13
actual thing, I would have been suck in Spain helped out, But it
1:12:15
have been I would have been and I would have somewhere to go because it
1:12:18
was like at a friend's house. So I was like, I would have
1:12:20
been living. I should this one on the trip. But anyway, that's
1:12:24
I've been, like I said, But yeah, yeah, one last story.
1:12:28
So I was getting to is Is. So we were working and he
1:12:30
had the shield and it was so funny. One night, it was it
1:12:33
was pretty early on I think like insides were allowed to be open now,
1:12:36
but like still, you know, six people. Still people want to sit
1:12:40
outside. So he went up to a table and some lady just started bitching
1:12:43
at him out of space shield because you know, you need a mask if
1:12:45
you're gonna wear a face shield, and he just looks at it. He's
1:12:47
like, well, he just walked away. He's like, dude, like
1:12:53
stay home, Yes, why are you going to a restaurant. It is
1:12:57
literally it's a jerky it's it's it's a jerky jermy. Yeah. Yes,
1:13:00
there's no cold. That's we're usually where you like, you go on a
1:13:02
cruise ship and you get the stomach bug. It's just it's just part of
1:13:05
the game, you know, like you're gonna get sick. I love I
1:13:09
literally love his response because it's just like, do you do you not see
1:13:13
what you're doing right now? You're out in public and you're telling me without
1:13:16
a face mask on, telling me that I need to put mine on.
1:13:19
Okay, it makes a lot of sense. I wish I literally wish.
1:13:25
I like wrote like a diary dirty because like every once in a while,
1:13:29
like this memory of pop in my head of like these people in the restaurant,
1:13:30
and I'm like, fucking we literally lived in banana. It was just
1:13:38
so stupid and like and and to your point, there's no accountability. It's
1:13:43
just brushed under the rug and move on. But don't be surprised. Don't
1:13:47
be surprised in the next four Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I've already
1:13:50
read fucking bird flu with You're just planning it now, Damnford, Like they're
1:13:56
just waiting. They want like some states are already doing mail in balloting again,
1:13:59
and that's this whole thing, was planning to get Trump out of office.
1:14:01
You can never convince me otherwise. It was all the mail in ballot
1:14:03
box at the drop boxes. People don't have to show a person about which
1:14:08
I think is ridiculous. I didn't even know that because I definitely went in
1:14:11
person. Yeah, well for the prep for that year. Yeah, presidential
1:14:15
year, I definitely went in person. I remember having a mask on.
1:14:18
I just had moved to Shelton. That's oh. I mean it didn't wipe
1:14:24
out Is this a bad joke? This is a more bid joke if I
1:14:27
say it didn't wipe out enough people, because when I'm on the road,
1:14:29
I'm like pissed every day, like where did all these people come from?
1:14:31
I'm like, before COVID, I feel like there was less of people on
1:14:33
the road. Uh COVID amazing roads. And then now I feel like it's
1:14:39
a thousand more people on the road. I don't see. I'm lucky.
1:14:43
I live in town and work in town. I mean I work from home.
1:14:45
But it's just like I still yeah highway. I'll drive the Bridgeport Fairfield
1:14:50
for something, and it's like it's fucking nuts. I just drove a couple
1:14:55
of weeks ago on a Saturday to drive to New Rochelle for a way and
1:14:59
we left did ten am and it took me two hours and ten minutes to
1:15:03
get a new Roadchelle, not even new roadchell Sorry, to white planes and
1:15:08
they lived. So GPS AI took me off the highway and like to maybe
1:15:15
in Westport, and then I just sat in traffic through Westport to try to
1:15:19
get to the Merritt Parkway, so like wound me all around backstreets. But
1:15:24
every like everyone else's GPS the same thing. So I'm like, what the
1:15:29
fuck did we get on? And I'm like, okay, cool, we're
1:15:30
on the merit. I'm like, we're cruising right along for about accident thirty
1:15:33
seconds and then it's just stop and go. So, I mean, the
1:15:36
wedding wasn't til four. We got there like a little after one, and
1:15:39
then the room wasn't ready right away, and I was about to flip out
1:15:43
all the ship whatever buck Yeah, it's the traffic around here, I mean
1:15:46
beats la, but Jesus Christ, I just think that there's maybe, like
1:15:50
they always say, like less people are working now, I'm like, why
1:15:54
are I didn't? Sorry, and we can and we can end it after
1:15:56
this logistics behind it. It's weird because still a lot of people, like
1:15:59
you said you will, I mean a lot of jobs are still working at
1:16:01
home and not really when I was yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
1:16:08
yeah, yeah, yah yah, yeah yeah. I said traffic was okay
1:16:11
before COVID, great during it, and now it's worse, Like it's a
1:16:14
good point. Why is it worset? Like I literally remember before COVID,
1:16:18
this would be like my thing. I feel like the rules were like,
1:16:20
you know, decent. And I remember around Christmas time was when I used
1:16:25
to hate going to the stores because everybody's out trying to like you know,
1:16:29
Thanksgiving, Christmas time to trying to shop for food, trying to shop for
1:16:31
whatever. So I used to hate having to go to like the Hamlet plazas.
1:16:34
That's when I used to live in New Haven. And now I feel
1:16:36
like, no matter what day it is of the week, it's like Christmas,
1:16:42
these plazas are freaking filled with people. And I'm like, where what
1:16:46
happened? Like where? Like why why is nobody at work? Also?
1:16:49
Why am I not at work? And I'm like, but like, I'm
1:16:54
like, but I'm like one of those people now, I mean I've always
1:16:56
been this person. I'm like, first or to open up, which usually
1:16:59
Walmart, go there at six o'clock in the morning. I literally complete all
1:17:01
my shopping before like eight am. Because I don't like people like It's just
1:17:06
like people do the dumbest things. Stand in the middle of the doorway.
1:17:09
Do you do you understand this the doorway and it's the only entrance into the
1:17:13
store? Like, come on, that's I love having. Yeah. Literally,
1:17:20
I'm like a morning bro. Anyway, I know you have your not
1:17:25
donkey of that. You don't know, No, I don't think you can't
1:17:29
wave. So I got my uh. I brought it back a couple of
1:17:33
weeks ago. Do the week it's called. It's one of my original bits
1:17:35
when I started this show about three and a half years ago. Basically,
1:17:40
I just, you know, during the week, I scrolled through the internet
1:17:42
and I just find someone that's really fucking kidding me kind of thing. And
1:17:46
uh, it's it's been all over the place. Lebron James has been a
1:17:50
lot just saying now I just his son. Yes, Actually I don't mind
1:17:58
his son. I just think he's in a tough spot. So Mike Thruster
1:18:00
of the Week this week is a lady called I don't know pronounce this right,
1:18:05
Dacy Daci E Gager. She's from Oklahoma. So she was at a
1:18:12
casino in Oklahoma and she walked out to her car and saw a bunch of
1:18:15
police activity around it, and it's a it's on a police camp by a
1:18:20
camp. And she walks up and she's all smiling. She says, is
1:18:24
everything okay? And he's she's The officer's like, is that your child in
1:18:28
the car, and then her face immediately, you know, goes down and
1:18:30
she starts having a little panic attack and she's like, yes, yes,
1:18:34
and they're like, well, how long has the baby man in the car?
1:18:36
She goes, oh, I just stopped here to get his father,
1:18:40
said he was inside. I went to go get the father. And they're
1:18:43
like, without the fucking baby, you know, I was fucking ninety degrees
1:18:45
out and she's like, oh, no, no, no, no,
1:18:47
no, if he's just inside, but well now she's now she's like scrambling
1:18:49
right, and they bring her over to the car and they let her get
1:18:55
the baby out. She's hold the baby. Baby survived, thank god.
1:18:59
And then they brought her over to the police cruiser and he's talking to her.
1:19:02
Now it's kind of a different body cam and now casino security come out.
1:19:10
This was three in the afternoon. She got there at ten am.
1:19:14
The gamble. The baby was in the car for five fucking hours. I
1:19:17
can't believe the baby's still alive, all windows up, everything. So now
1:19:24
she's like still trying to backtrack and what happened. She was clearly like sober.
1:19:30
Oh yes, I mean I'm not trying to say she was sober.
1:19:32
She was just after that gate take gagam but gambling slots on the day.
1:19:36
They followed her all around the casino for five hours. It was like ten
1:19:40
thirty in the morning to three in the afternoon. So there obviously they arrest
1:19:45
there, they put the baby in you know, uh, child welfare,
1:19:48
you know, DCF or whatever. And I didn't really followed up on this
1:19:53
story, but like that's insanity, Like the to be coherent. Granted,
1:19:58
like I said, I don't want to blame it on not being coherent,
1:20:00
because that's still wrong no matter what state you're in. But like you're running
1:20:02
to get cigarettes and you forget to pull your kid out of that, right,
1:20:06
that's one thing. But five hour child never gets into your head after
1:20:12
five hours of gamble and never wants you to thinking, oh, where's little
1:20:15
Milo, you know, like like seriously have to be joking about it,
1:20:18
but like what the fuck? Like you're like, so like my keyre right,
1:20:24
it's like a twenty twenty three. I'll put a bag of groceries back
1:20:27
there. And when I this is great app for the car. Ai literally
1:20:31
I get out of the car and he goes and I'm like, what's that
1:20:33
says check your rear seat? I love that. Yeah, Like I mean,
1:20:38
I'm sure all cars will have that eventually, once we you know,
1:20:41
get rid of all the older cars. But like just the fact that we
1:20:44
need that to remind us that our child's back there is kind of fucked up
1:20:47
in general, instead of my eggs and bacon that I bought from the grapery,
1:20:50
you know what I mean. But this lady dacy Yager, like what
1:20:55
that is insanity of the week to gamble, Like I don't, I don't.
1:21:02
And I'm like when she goes to court, I wonder if she's gonna
1:21:04
try to like plead because like what like I even I even get sad when
1:21:11
I see like I didn't like they'll have like the window cracked. But on
1:21:13
like a hot day, when I guess see a dog in the car and
1:21:15
like somebody is like grocery shopping, I'm like, what like oh yeah,
1:21:20
uh huh that you can break windows with just for that purpose. Really,
1:21:24
like if I see a dog or a baby, I'm just gonna snatch that
1:21:26
in my house. I mean, that's that's amazing and like a good smearning
1:21:29
kind of thing because I remember, I remember so like in this I'll say
1:21:31
this is a plus about a Tesla and probably any of the newer cars.
1:21:35
Tesla actually has a dog feature. So I remember I was out with my
1:21:40
dog. I don't know, I just brought them, and so the car
1:21:44
is completely off, but the AC stays well, I guess it's not really
1:21:45
completely off, but the AC stays on. I left him in the car.
1:21:48
It was like for a few minutes, I was going to the grocery
1:21:50
store. But like when people just eighty degrees, and I get that you
1:21:55
have the window cracked, but dude, that like even when you're when you're
1:22:00
in a when you're getting gas. I remember me and my cousin. He
1:22:03
was pumping gas into his car. He shut the car off for like two
1:22:06
minutes. I'm over here dying. I am dying. So imagine that poor
1:22:12
dog as your grocery shop and a ninety degree or kid, yeah, in
1:22:15
ninety degree weather, and I'm just like granted, we're not gonna be at
1:22:20
that point where everybody's gonna have a new car, but I'm like, I
1:22:23
will, like I respect the Tesla and any newer car that has that feature
1:22:27
of like having AC that can stay on. And I'm not sure if it's
1:22:30
just electric because again I know gas cars. I don't know how that works.
1:22:32
But I'm just like it was It's a beautiful thing. But I don't
1:22:35
going back to this woman, I don't. I can't fathom, like you
1:22:41
put your kid in the car to go gambling and you thought that it was
1:22:45
smart, Like, so was this like premeditated? Like okay, I would
1:22:48
assume it has to be pre there's no way you forget and you go to
1:22:54
a human being like busy and surveilled like the thing you're atually gonna get away
1:23:00
with it for the right because like I'll your child at home by yourself,
1:23:04
for himself, you know what I mean? Right? Right? No,
1:23:08
right, literally putting him in a hot box that literally is documented killing people
1:23:14
all over this country or work. Really, it's just sad. It's like
1:23:17
that is so bananas, Like you literally just thought about, okay that the
1:23:24
kid will be fine, like and it's a top and yeah, and it's
1:23:28
like and it's a baby, so it's not even like even if the baby
1:23:31
would be it's not even old enough. Like granted you can't do this either
1:23:35
most likely, but even if the kid was like let's say I don't know,
1:23:39
seven or whatever, and you're like stay in the car, they can
1:23:43
like yeah, yeah, yeah, So like they have their way to get
1:23:46
out if you left them with snacks, water or whatever. But that baby
1:23:50
can't do anything. Why would you, yeah, car, just knowing that
1:23:56
someone could steal that car with the baby, and it happens a lot right
1:24:00
aft, Like I've never had a again, but like if I did,
1:24:03
like wherever I went, I'm getting that baby out of the baby seat,
1:24:08
You're coming in the store with me, you know, they'll get those little
1:24:11
carriages right in the front, and like just never leaves my sight because that's
1:24:15
that split second that there's fucking predators out there. They're taking that baby and
1:24:18
they're selling it. Right. I don't I literally don't get it because it's
1:24:24
just like you put it in the car and that's sorry, I don't know.
1:24:28
I don't mean to call it in, but like you put the baby
1:24:30
in the car and you just thought that that was just a smart idea.
1:24:34
In in you said, Las Vegas the month after five hours, Yeah,
1:24:39
I mean they have a pretty steady feeding time, right, or at least
1:24:42
Drake's right, Like, and I can even even though then, like you
1:24:45
said, you're not supposed to do that, back understand that you're like you
1:24:48
get a pack of cigarettes and it's just like, Okay, getting this baby
1:24:53
out is too much to just run in and run out. Granted, I
1:24:55
know you're still not supposed to do that, but like this is that's wild.
1:25:00
And I know, and I know it's not the first person to ever
1:25:01
do this, but the casino is crazy, like I've I heard more of
1:25:09
like grocery store shopping or something like that. It's still wrong, but you
1:25:13
forget, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I forgot. But casino is intentional.
1:25:15
It's intentional. And then she had this excuse. I think she get
1:25:19
away with it, and the cops are on and it's like, yeah,
1:25:21
like you said, it's like the most surveillant place in the world to think
1:25:27
that, oh, you're gonna get away with lying and be like I was
1:25:29
looking for my husband. You want to they get you on the first camera,
1:25:32
like they can just follow you all exactly until you got that right.
1:25:42
