It obviously I I can't remember, I don't believe it was true, but
0:04
the idea that like that was the the pen drop, like Oh my God, it
0:10
got the tigers like. Not the Tiger, I didn't.
0:15
Put an. Insane story to like, that was,
0:17
I remember like people were spreading that around.
0:20
Like a bunch of people sent it to me.
0:21
They're like, holy shit, it jumped to the Tigers.
0:25
You have friends? Had.
0:42
Welcome back guys, Episode 6 we're on episode 6 with the ever
0:50
calculated Ryan. What?
0:53
The always talkative Amber and your trusty navigator Justin.
1:06
This week we're talking sex. Oh.
1:12
Gosh. Yuckies.
1:14
Hated it. Maybe not sex, maybe love.
1:20
I feel like this is directed directly at me.
1:23
I didn't say. That I need love.
1:24
Why would you feel that you? Weren't even looking at me when
1:27
you said. That.
1:29
My side eye was devastating. Your side eye was side eyeing.
1:34
Oh, it was. It was burning a hole through
1:36
the side of my face. And I don't mean love like
1:39
companionship. It can mean that if you want it
1:41
to mean that, but I mean it like.
1:44
Dogs give love too. Yeah, Pints for Paws.
1:48
Get yourself an adoptee. I've had many, many, many in my
1:53
life, and even though this one next to me won't stop licking
1:57
the inside of his thigh 24 hours a day, it has.
2:01
A skin condition. Yeah, me too.
2:03
You don't see me licking it. Chance.
2:06
Hey, quit it. He heard the pens.
2:10
He did. He's.
2:11
Like wait, no, I know that sound.
2:15
I mean, love is like finding time for yourself and, and I
2:22
don't mean self-care, I mean. Self love.
2:25
Self love. Find something that you actually
2:28
enjoy doing, not something that you feel like you should enjoy
2:30
doing. Oh, so this is going to be a
2:34
real episode? So.
2:36
Wasn't planning on anybody could.
2:37
Myself, but I love painting and I've been painting paint.
2:43
Now, do you love painting or do you feel like you should love
2:46
painting? No, I love painting.
2:47
OK. I don't feel like I should love
2:50
painting. What the fuck does that even
2:51
mean? Well, you come from a family of
2:53
artists. If you don't love painting,
2:55
yeah. Who?
2:57
Both of your incredibly artistic grandparents.
3:02
Is my grandpa artistic or autistic?
3:04
Both. Yeah, not to derail from it or
3:10
get not to sound any kind of way, she's not blood.
3:15
She's family. She's family.
3:17
Doesn't mean it has to be blood, it's just there is an
3:20
expectation from older generations in the family.
3:23
No, because they never put it on me as you need to do this ever.
3:29
Ever. My mom is very artistic, though.
3:33
My dad is very numbers. So I'm I'm good at numbers and
3:39
I'm good at painting and I love painting.
3:41
Skip the generation, just like autism.
3:45
No, everybody in my family's pretty artist.
3:49
Artist. Artistic.
3:51
Also your singer-songwriter nephew.
3:56
Love him. Shout out to Dean.
3:57
He needs to be on this podcast. OK, like tomorrow.
4:03
Do you want to set up a guest? I I totally fine I just got to
4:07
get another microphone for. I think you should reach out to
4:09
him as Brownie bits media not as awesome.
4:13
You're like, hey, we're gonna have you on the podcast and when
4:15
he shows up, it's just us, 'cause he does not know we live
4:17
here because he doesn't. Know, yeah.
4:19
That'd be so. Funny, I think that would be
4:20
great. I'm.
4:22
Like what up, bud? As of right now we don't have
4:25
any episodes posted so. That's fine, that's OK.
4:30
But we're on. Episode number.
4:31
Whatever. Yeah, no, I mean, we could do
4:35
that. Or I could ask him, 'cause he is
4:37
touring, but he's very artistic it.
4:42
Is artistic, That's what I. Was going to say.
4:45
So do you feel that you need to have a love for the outdoors and
4:52
the ranch life? No.
4:55
You don't feel that you need to. No, he has a love for
4:58
videography. Yeah.
5:01
I know I'm asking. Him.
5:03
Oh, sorry. Don't interrupt a therapist.
5:06
I think what's I have a love of the outdoors, I enjoy helping
5:15
out on the farm, but I wouldn't say I love doing it, if that
5:19
makes sense. You don't love the lifestyle.
5:21
No, it it's not that I don't love the lifestyle.
5:24
I would definitely enjoy it, but I don't think that would be a
5:27
passion of mine. Like a calling.
5:30
Yeah, I don't think it would be a calling.
5:34
I enjoy doing it because I'm with family and because I get
5:37
that additional time with family.
5:39
So that's very much I think, I think where it is is I love
5:45
spending time with family. So that is more of the love than
5:54
the actual like farm work. But any, any place that I'm
6:00
actually able to spend time with family, I think would be
6:03
considered an enjoyment for me, no matter what it is.
6:09
And you chose to leave the ranch life.
6:15
I wasn't ever in the ranch life. It was just kind of that's what
6:18
the family business is. Not even that kind kind of, but
6:22
not even that because my mom and dad, my my mom is like ACPA and
6:28
does a bunch of other stuff. That's right.
6:29
My dad is a teacher principal. So like neither of them were
6:37
ever technically on the farm life.
6:40
We went down and visited family and helped on the farm and and
6:44
helped butcher and and do chores and all of that stuff.
6:48
But we never that was never our lifestyle.
6:51
It was grandpa and uncle. Grandpa, Uncle, uncle.
6:55
Yeah. So like.
6:57
Your dad broke the cycle. We're a legend.
7:02
My, my yeah, sure, my grandpa's family all were farmers, but my
7:09
grandma, I think we're more country rather than specifically
7:15
farmers. She she grew up closer to a what
7:22
it it's a, it is a considered a city now, but it's it was a
7:26
town. She was more urban is where she
7:30
initially grew up and then moved in into more of the rural area.
7:37
OK. Your parents wanted to mold
7:41
mines more than they wanted to sow seeds.
7:45
Yeah, I guess. Yeah, I guess you could say
7:46
that. I thought that was pretty good.
7:48
Yeah. Jesus.
7:49
Mines like mines or mines like coal mines?
7:52
Mines. Mines with ADI thought.
7:55
You meant coal mines. I was like, you are just
7:58
everywhere. That's what that's what love is.
8:02
It's everywhere. What do you love?
8:06
That's a great question. I think they'll save that for
8:11
another episode. No, no, we're not doing that.
8:18
You. Said you said a calling and that
8:21
that did strike a chord. I'll come back to the love
8:24
thing. I will, I promise.
8:26
The calling thing struck A chord.
8:28
I do have a calling. I've never attempted it because
8:33
I can't do the class work for it, unfortunately.
8:39
And I know this for a fact because I've had these
8:42
situations happen in my life where you need to step up and
8:46
act immediately and be the person that everybody looks to
8:51
when everybody else is frozen in time because something insane
8:56
just happened. And it's more often than not I'm
9:01
the one that's looked to or immediately, what are you going
9:05
to do? And it's always, I'm not frozen,
9:09
I'm fully in slow motion and I'm figuring out what to do
9:13
immediately. And I know I would be an amazing
9:16
EMT. 100%. A medic in the military.
9:21
Unfortunately, I'm built for military life.
9:24
I just can't do it. But what do you love?
9:30
That's what I mean. I I know what my calling is.
9:33
Not what you're calling. Is but I don't I don't love that
9:38
I don't I don't know what I love.
9:40
I love me. I love peace.
9:43
I love quiet. I love.
9:44
Not me. Yeah, I love you, but goodness.
9:54
I love peace and quiet. I love nature honestly more than
9:58
anything. I love animals more than
10:00
anything. I love fantasizing about the end
10:07
of the world and. Being and then we took a left.
10:11
Turn one of the last around and I don't.
10:15
It doesn't have to be cataclysmic, it just happens to
10:18
be that something happened and I'm like one of the last.
10:21
I don't know. Like homesteading?
10:23
Well, not even that like homesteading is cool.
10:25
I'd love to do that. I plan to do that in the next
10:27
couple of years, but I don't like I I think homesteading for
10:32
me isn't like I want to do that because it's my calling.
10:35
I want to do that because fuck the government.
10:37
I. Mean that's fair enough.
10:39
That's why I love homesteading. It's like I I don't like your
10:42
system or your games, so I'm not going to play your game.
10:46
I'm going to make my own game and I'm going to make it as hard
10:49
as possible for you to play my game.
10:51
What are you going to call that game?
10:54
Peace and quiet. No, I, I don't know.
10:59
I, I love nature and animals. I, I have no other really love
11:05
like. And that's the thing, it's not a
11:09
calling. It's like it's something that I
11:12
just really love to do. It's like I'll never turn down
11:14
an opportunity to go into nature or an opportunity to like help
11:18
an animal. Like every single time I'll be
11:21
late to work, every time I will be, I will miss an event.
11:25
Every time I will put myself into a dangerous position or a
11:31
like at like disadvantage to take care of an animal every
11:35
time. Every time.
11:37
And that's that's it. Like I don't have any other like
11:41
true love, nothing. But even with the even with the
11:45
sailing, like just getting a sailboat and and disappearing
11:49
over to Tahiti or something like that.
11:50
Like that's not exactly a love. It's.
11:54
Just. That's a want.
11:55
I want to get away. I don't.
11:57
I don't agree with the system, so I want to get out of the
11:59
system. That makes sense.
12:01
And it's always been a thing for me.
12:03
I've, I've never actually had like, I love this thing other
12:06
than nature and animals. That's it.
12:08
That's all I got really. Baby, just kidding.
12:12
Just bugging. Around.
12:12
Are you saying that's sad? No.
12:15
It sounded like you were saying, it's sad, no.
12:19
I was saying you don't love anything but me.
12:22
Of course you're in there. I know I was walking around
12:25
things. I, I think that's all I got
12:30
really. And the, the calling, I know for
12:32
sure 100% easy, but I can never do the schooling.
12:36
I just can't. I literally cannot take
12:39
structured tests. Like it just doesn't work.
12:43
And that's OK. I've come to, I've come to terms
12:45
with that. I, I have no problem if somebody
12:49
wants to see the potential and just, OK, we're going to throw
12:56
you into this. All right, I'll, I'll probably
12:58
smash it, but I, there's no way I'm going to be able to go
13:03
through all the training. I just can't do it.
13:05
It is a lot of training. And rightly so.
13:09
You're, you're the guy. Like you need to be the guy
13:13
every time. There's no, there's no time
13:16
where you're not the guy. Like if anything happens and
13:19
you, you end up not being the guy for whatever reason, like
13:23
you people die. Like very bad things happen.
13:27
Like so I, I understand that completely.
13:30
And I, I'd never put myself in a position that would ultimately
13:36
do more harm than good. But I have noticed like over the
13:39
years, like from an early age, it's like, OK, we have to act
13:44
right now. What do we do?
13:47
And it's, I'm, I'm already on it.
13:48
I got you. You go there, you move there,
13:50
you get the hell out of the way. Like you do this, you do that.
13:54
I got it. Like I don't.
13:56
I don't scream away from blood, which is really funny because
14:00
I'm a germaphobe. The biggest germaphobe I've ever
14:03
met. Like if somebody was sneezing
14:04
and having a heart attack, I'd be like, you're so screwed.
14:07
Like you're so screwed. No, I have no problem with blood
14:11
or or. Bottle.
14:15
Yeah, just gore. I got no problem with any of
14:17
that. But it's the Don't tell me you
14:22
got Ebola. We're done.
14:24
Like I'm not, I'm not the. Guy God, Ebola.
14:28
I'm not the guy. We literally like we went to oh.
14:31
This is a good one. We went to a a Halloween party
14:36
for a friend of ours birthday and mind you, I was DD so I was
14:42
upset because I wasn't 21 yet and whatever it's all about me,
14:47
right? So we go to this Halloween party
14:50
in the middle of Orlando, massive block party.
14:56
And it's right around the time where Ebola is a thing.
14:59
And these people like mind you, him and I are already done at
15:04
this point. We don't want to be there like
15:06
our friend was just not happy throughout the whole entire
15:09
situation and we want to go home and these two people show up in
15:15
these in this like party thing outside in hazmat suits.
15:22
And respirators. And respirators.
15:24
And masks like actual like visor.
15:27
Masks or something like that and this bitch comes up to him.
15:34
The biggest germaphobe I have ever actually met takes her
15:39
respirator off the fake 1. Larry.
15:42
What is that called? The gas mask.
15:44
No, it was a, it was a respirator, but it was like for
15:46
painting. Yeah, and she literally breathes
15:50
on it and goes, haunts him Ebola, and then walks away.
15:56
And he was like, no, we're done, we're going home.
15:58
We're going home right now because fuck all of that.
16:01
Because the other thing, I don't even think he remembers one of
16:05
our teachers like went into a coma because she had Ebola like.
16:12
No, I didn't remember that. Yeah.
16:14
Jesus. Yeah.
16:16
So one of like the English or reading teachers for Lyman
16:20
during that time was literally like in a three or four month
16:23
coma and was like clinically dead.
16:26
Like they said she died and then she came back and like.
16:30
Now was that? Well, it wasn't during the time
16:33
because we were past that, but yeah.
16:36
Was it actually or was that like a a rumor going around the mill
16:40
and. Now that I'm thinking about it,
16:41
it may have been bird flu, but she did have a thing.
16:44
No, no, no, it was a thing. That's coming back.
16:46
Like she was out for a very long time, was clinically announced
16:54
dead, and then came back to teaching.
16:58
I don't know, teachers were saying it so if it was a shit
17:01
like. Absolutely not.
17:03
It's insane. Is bird flu coming?
17:06
Back yeah, I'm told that's the next big pandemic but they said
17:08
that about like a bunch of stuff they.
17:10
Were talking, they were talking about that during the last,
17:13
during Biden's last like year and he ordered the culling of a
17:25
massive amount of chickens. I heard that.
17:29
Which is what drove egg prices through the roof because they
17:32
were typically egg laying chickens is what the culling
17:37
was. And you can argue left or right,
17:41
how do you stop the next pandemic?
17:45
But I don't it. It's literally like him leaving
17:49
office and all of a sudden that's not a thing anymore
17:52
though. Is it not a thing anymore or did
17:55
the culling? Fix it.
17:58
And I'm not arguing left to right, I'm just saying.
18:00
I don't, I don't think it was. I don't think, I don't think
18:02
that was ever a thing. I think that was an excuse to
18:06
try and damage the next administration.
18:09
That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard, and I'm not
18:12
disagreeing, I'm just saying if that is.
18:14
The truth. That's the.
18:16
Craziest thing I've ever heard. On my way out I'm going to kill
18:20
500,000 chickens. Well, that was it wasn't the
18:27
only. Thing but like it was it was it
18:32
wasn't like it was very specific farms.
18:35
It was a mass just wiping out yeah, it wasn't it wasn't like
18:40
one particular manufacturer that had this issue on those farms.
18:46
It wasn't like if you remember during the last one it it didn't
18:51
even start with chickens. It it spread to chickens, but it
18:54
was what? Last one.
18:56
The last bird flu that we had. Oh, I don't know that.
18:58
Yeah, it it started. You're talking about COVID.
19:00
I was like. What now?
19:01
It started off, it started out outside of chickens and then it
19:04
it got spread into chickens cause some of the farms that had
19:07
those other fowl it spread its way through do.
19:13
You remember when they said that a tiger caught COVID?
19:16
No, you. Didn't hear about that.
19:17
No, it was a massive thing. People were freaking out because
19:21
then it was jumping species like over and over again.
19:25
It obviously I I can't remember. I don't believe it was true, but
19:29
the idea that like that was the the pen drop like Oh my God, it
19:35
got the tigers like. Not the tiger I didn't put.
19:40
An. Insane story to like, that was,
19:42
I remember like people were spreading that around.
19:45
Like a bunch of people sent it to me.
19:46
They're like, holy shit, it jumped to the tiger.
19:49
I. Didn't I?
19:50
Didn't. Pay any attention during that
19:54
whole thing. I tell you what, every morning
19:58
when I got to work. Because I had to work through it
20:02
all nine months your boy was in the office, it was me and
20:05
another person and the owner would come in occasionally just
20:08
to check on things, I guess. But out of 50 people, it was me
20:12
and another person. We worked in separate sections
20:15
of the office. Like she was in another building
20:17
attached to the building and I was in the warehouse on the
20:20
other side of the building attached to a separate building.
20:23
So it wasn't that bad at all, like to go to work during it,
20:27
but it was still like, this is kind of scary.
20:29
Like just the way they hyped it up so much and how bad it seemed
20:33
at the time. The whole world like really
20:35
think about this. You're a 20 something year old,
20:39
You're a young 20 year old, and the whole world just shut down.
20:45
You've never I was there. I worked through the whole
20:48
thing. I was in contact with 4000
20:50
people a day. So you've never seen this in
20:53
your life? Your parents have never seen
20:55
this in their life. Your grandparents have never
20:57
seen this in their life. Everybody's telling you it's the
21:00
end of the world. It's going to.
21:02
We're going to literally burn it down.
21:04
It's the end of the world. And then they say you got to
21:09
come in for your shift. Yeah.
21:11
Do you know how, like on the psyche that is like, what are
21:17
you talking about me? I gotta come in.
21:20
And I'm not saying you didn't. I'm just saying like, like,
21:23
remember, did you get that feeling?
21:25
Work. No, I never did 'cause I was
21:27
like, thank God I don't have to be in the house.
21:28
You're out of your mind. Dude, I was.
21:31
No, because it was, it was. All I saw was fear mongering.
21:34
That's all I saw. It was just constant fear
21:37
mongering that this was going to be so bad, this was so bad, and
21:42
it's like we already know how to take care of coronavirus 'cause
21:48
this is not the first strain of coronavirus we had.
21:51
Lysol literally kills coronavirus, and it literally
21:55
killed that strain of coronavirus.
21:57
Do you know how serious it got in our office?
22:00
My boss bought a battery powered industrial Fogger and he bought
22:09
like 10/1 gallon jugs of whatever it was like not like
22:14
Lysol like medical grade like fogging solution.
22:20
We did do hospitals and schools and and courthouses and prisons
22:24
and stuff. I get that.
22:24
But I'm saying like he literally checked this out.
22:28
He literally had me load this Fogger and when I left work
22:32
every night before I went home, I fogged every office that
22:36
somebody had been in for the day.
22:39
Fogged the office literally keyboard that's light switches,
22:43
all the doors, insane, the bathrooms, everything that
22:46
anybody had contact with when they came in from the outside.
22:49
I fogged it every day for like 9 months.
22:52
That's. Insane.
22:52
And I did that with you when you came home because I was, what's
22:56
it called, immuno? Immunocompromised, yeah.
23:02
But so doing that on hard surfaces is one thing 'cause
23:06
that's insane, doing it to a living, breathing human that has
23:10
been in contact, but that's a completely different thing.
23:15
You're going, he was going in to hard surfaces where if the
23:20
temperature was above I believe 70°, the the the virus could not
23:26
survive on hard surfaces for more than like 20 minutes.
23:30
It was a. Corporate office, they kept it
23:32
ice cold. I'm not saying.
23:34
No, but no, I'm saying like if it did not have direct human
23:37
contact of a living Organism, it was it was going to eventually
23:43
die. On that hard surface, it was
23:45
nothing. Do you remember?
23:45
How cold it was in the dealership.
23:48
It wasn't always that. Cold, was it not?
23:50
No, no. I thought it was freezing it.
23:52
Was hot as balls sometimes. Oh OK, so so y'all kind of got
23:56
it a little a. Little bit like.
23:58
I wasn't there for for COVID though so.
24:00
We were, we were a controls company which works with HVAC.
24:04
We are literally the guys you call like to make it cold.
24:07
So literally like monthly we had like full blown revamps of
24:11
systems. Like we would constantly tear
24:13
them out and put them back in like a better system every like
24:15
monthly, all the time. And literally it was like 62° in
24:21
the office. In every office there was one
24:23
office. It was like all windows.
24:25
And because it was all windows facing what is it South?
24:29
South gets the most sun. Yeah, so all day, dude, from
24:32
8:00 in the morning until 5, she just cooked in this office.
24:36
Dude, it was like 80° in this office year round and I could
24:40
not help her. She's like what?
24:41
What do I have to do? Who do I have to talk to?
24:44
Who do I have to fight to get some air in this office?
24:46
I'm like, dude, I've pumped in a 9 inch duct in your office.
24:49
You're the only one with a 9 inch duct.
24:52
I can't bring in any colder in here.
24:54
Shut the blinds like, and she did.
24:55
She shut them constantly. It still was 80° in that office
24:59
anyway. To put it in perspective, the
25:03
dealership that we were at and also like where he was at
25:10
specifically was one either outside trying to get people to
25:15
buy cars, which is hot 'cause it's Florida, or two, he was in
25:21
a cubicle that literally had windows everywhere.
25:26
Like in the cubicles there were windows in the seats where he
25:30
was doing deals, windows like windows everywhere.
25:35
So the only time that it was actually like freezing cold was
25:39
in the morning. And correct me if I'm wrong, but
25:42
you mostly did mid shifts to late night shifts.
25:46
No, I did all of them because they did.
25:48
They did rotations. There was three teams and they
25:51
did rotations, so each team got the same amount or roughly about
25:56
'cause it was based off of the month I.
25:59
Rarely saw you in the mornings, but then again I wasn't paying
26:02
attention 'cause we weren't besties then.
26:05
But. No, it was.
26:07
I had the same amount of morning shifts.
26:09
There were. Oh yeah, there were several days
26:11
where I did a morning shift and then ended up having a deal or
26:16
two. But you'd stay late.
26:18
And I would, and maybe that's what it is.
26:19
So yeah, I was, I was one of the guys that did not care what time
26:23
it was. I would take an up.
26:24
But what I was saying though, is like it was colder in the
26:28
mornings than it was midday. So when you're walking in, when
26:34
nobody's there, it is freezing cold like when you guys did
26:38
balloons. I don't think it was ever
26:40
freezing cold to me, but it was it was definitely cooler in the
26:44
mornings than it was after. It well, you're from.
26:46
Wisconsin. So you're the Wiscotia boys.
26:48
So it it literally anything? Anything anything above what?
26:56
I yes, OK. Fair I.
26:59
Wore shorts until it was like 42° out and then I would
27:03
consider putting pants. On out of your mind.
27:05
No, if it's under like 68° pants all day.
27:10
I I specifically remember wearing shorts after it snowed
27:15
and being like, yeah, it's nice out, yeah.
27:17
But that's Wisconsin weather or not Florida.
27:20
But no, like that's still though.
27:22
Like yeah, I understand. Where you're coming, you're so
27:25
brave and strong. Yes, I know.
27:26
Thank you. I just want somebody to
27:28
recognize it. Anywho, I didn't think it was
27:32
ever that like freezing cold, but then again I was constantly
27:35
moving. So like that's I'm not a good
27:39
person to judge the temperature off of 'cause with me and I, I
27:43
was much heavier back then. I had a lot more fat on me back
27:48
then than I do right now. But I also think I have iron
27:53
deficiency too, so. I do I'm.
27:57
Always cold. I I do have iron deficiency but
28:01
I think it's just because I had more fat.
28:05
Oh. You think you have an iron
28:06
deficiency? No, I do.
28:07
You eat. So much red meat.
28:09
No, I I know, but I don't know why.
28:11
At at least I did in in college, so it may be now.
28:17
When you when you were vegan. Because no, they tested me and I
28:20
I was not allowed to give blood. Wow.
28:24
Because of iron deficiency. I'm not allowed to give blood,
28:27
but that's just because I don't weigh enough.
28:30
They never took my blood because I had tattoos every three
28:32
months. Well, that.
28:33
Too literally like a tattoo every three months for years and
28:36
they were like Nope, sorry, can't do it.
28:40
I was like alright, I won't get a free movie ticket.
28:43
Jesus. But yeah, now like I during the
28:48
whole shutdown thing, 'cause they actually we were required
28:52
to shut down for the two weeks where?
28:55
Are you at the? Dealership.
28:56
No. Oh, OK.
28:57
No, I had left at that point. I was working at a car wash.
28:59
Actually I was. I was one of the people that
29:05
were training like new sales people at the car wash.
29:11
So I had to be there because I was one of the best salespeople
29:17
they had. So they were like, yeah, we're
29:19
not going to let him go. And then they didn't give me a
29:21
raise and I bitched and complained about that.
29:25
As you should. Yeah, I was like.
29:27
You're, you're making me come in and you're going to take away
29:29
my, my Commission like so I stopped selling.
29:34
My numbers went down during that time because I was like, well,
29:38
if I'm going to be making the same, if I sell or not, then I'm
29:40
not going to try. And that's actually where I met
29:44
Lou Holtz. Not Lou Holtz, Lee Corso, That's
29:48
who it was. Lee Corso would come through our
29:50
car wash. All the time, Corso.
29:52
A a dude that does college football like analysis on ESPN.
30:01
So we knew of Corso in high school.
30:04
Didn't he go to NFL? I have no idea.
30:06
We see a fighter. I can't remember.
30:07
No idea. I remember the last name there.
30:09
Might play football in weight lifting.
30:11
His first name started with an A.
30:13
There might be some relation to this dude.
30:16
None of us knew first names. Austin Corson.
30:21
Oh, OK, I say none of us knew first names.
30:24
I literally still don't know the first names of half the guys on
30:26
the team. The only person that I know like
30:29
to this day, no, I'm not even gonna say it.
30:33
No one. So I know the people at home
30:36
can't see, but we're watching 6 hours fantastic views of Earth
30:40
4K with relaxation music on mute.
30:43
And I'm watching a drone operator scare some goats on the
30:46
side of a mountain. So watch the goats, they're
30:49
moving, and then as soon as the drone gets overhead, what the
30:55
hell is that? What the hell is that noise?
30:58
They all stop moving and just start.
31:00
Like what the hell is that? Why are they up there?
31:04
'Cause that's where they. Live I know what are they doing
31:07
but. No, I never, I never had that.
31:10
I was more mad at the whole situation because the company
31:15
was basically screwing us for and requiring us to come in.
31:20
I mean. Making so much money too.
31:22
Oh yeah, Like what was their gross?
31:24
I, I don't know, 'cause I never, I never was allowed to, to look
31:31
into that because they railroaded me out of the
31:34
managerial position. I get.
31:36
I just I googled my stuff. Yeah, I just.
31:38
All the companies I've worked for, I've found out how much
31:40
they make and what they're worth because it's something you bring
31:43
to the table. Hey man, you guys make a billion
31:45
dollars a year. You could give me a $0.35 raise.
31:48
It's insane that you even have to question.
31:50
It like they took away, they raised my pay hourly because
31:55
they took away my Commission, but they didn't raise it enough.
31:58
I was like, this is not OK. Yeah, I'm making way more now
32:02
than I was ever there, which is insane to think about.
32:06
I mean, everybody's always said the servers make the most money.
32:10
They really do. They really do I've.
32:11
Heard that too if if we take away tax.
32:13
On tips, I'm not talking about tips, I'm talking about my
32:18
hourly pay. I'm making way more now than I
32:20
ever did there. That's.
32:21
Crazy for a again, they're both laborious, but the car wash
32:27
compared to what you're at now I I would assume that the car wash
32:30
was more labor intensive. No.
32:32
You're outside, you're in the heat.
32:35
But I was a salesperson. Were you not outside?
32:37
I was outside but I was a sales. I mean that I was.
32:41
I mean my. Specific job was literally to
32:43
stand either by the kiosk or wait for people to come in to
32:47
get their interiors done and sell them a package of of wash.
32:51
And that was my only job. I never vacuumed.
32:54
I never, I mean I ran the the tunnel from time to time because
32:58
during COVID we had to do the rotation and stuff.
33:01
But I never was physically drying the cars physically
33:05
vacuuming the cars physically. So definitely not as no.
33:09
So I was literally standing there waiting for the next car.
33:13
Your pay increase makes sense. So the the one that I worked
33:16
for, I think they were doing like 25 mill a year when I
33:20
looked at it. And it was like the third year
33:23
in a row where not just me, but like the entire company except
33:27
for like 4 or 5 high execs. They got bonuses and raises
33:32
every year. But it like every other person
33:34
in the country company like 150 people.
33:36
They're like, sorry, can't do it this year.
33:38
We didn't hit our numbers. So we're gonna give you. 3 brand
33:42
new TV's and then we're gonna do all of these different like not
33:48
bingos what are they called the ticket things we're going to
33:51
ticket prizes for you guys and like all of those prizes were
33:58
probably what. 10 grand, a couple grand.
34:00
Yeah, they would. They would write it off where
34:03
they would buy equipment for the company and then they would
34:07
raffle off the prizes at the Christmas party.
34:09
Raffle. That's and that was your, that
34:11
was your bonus and it wasn't guaranteed because you literally
34:13
had to have a raffle winning ticket.
34:15
That's crazy dude. People were pissed.
34:18
I know one year my dad got a red.
34:20
Semen, the other thing. Sorry to cut you off.
34:22
That was his bonus. Really.
34:24
Quick I I can't believe he didn't go in and lose his mind.
34:27
The other thing was those raffle tickets, they put them as like 2
34:35
different things. So you, because I went to these
34:39
parties with him, you would get drink cards quote UN quote.
34:45
And so the first part of that raffle ticket was your drink
34:50
card. So you would RIP it off and then
34:51
hold off that raffle and whatever the bottom part was,
34:56
that was your raffle ticket and then you'd get 2 free drinks.
35:00
So technically it was probably more than 10 grand because it's
35:06
now an A quote UN quote, open bar or cash.
35:10
Bar whatever. Oh, no, no, no.
35:12
That's what I'm saying. If you want to include the
35:13
venue. The venue too.
35:15
The venue was 10 grand minimum. Yeah, a loan, yeah, minimum.
35:20
And then they gave you those drink cards.
35:22
So it was 2 drinks per person, and I don't remember if it was
35:27
you only had to do house drinks, but like you had two drinks.
35:33
So call it what, $10 each ticket per person, right?
35:39
So that's $20 a person. How many people were there?
35:42
300 people. I think, yeah, it's some of the
35:46
bigger parties, yeah, close to. The boat.
35:48
Yeah, would they rented the boat alone?
35:50
They rented the Saint Mary right there.
35:54
And then they did all of these cash prizes and then they did
35:59
these or not cash prizes, but the, the prizes that you'd won
36:03
at the raffle. And then going back to something
36:06
that we won together or his dad won and he gave it to us was
36:13
they did a, a national lampoon Christmas party.
36:17
Yep. And.
36:19
These people. Dad got an ice tray that had the
36:25
little moose antler things and then if not his dad then us or
36:31
vice versa or whatever ended up getting the moose drink set as
36:40
one of the gifts, did you? Hear what she just said.
36:42
That was it. So they rented the venue for 10
36:45
grand, well maybe more. And then they would give you 2
36:48
drink tickets, not an open bar. And then the prizes that you won
36:53
were a National Lampoon, Ice Tray and drink set.
36:58
No bonus. I didn't get a bonus for three
37:01
years. That's sorry.
37:02
Excuse me? Not a bonus, a raise.
37:05
Yeah, a raise. Not even a bonus.
37:07
A raise. They gave nobody a raise for
37:10
three years. Not, yeah, not just him, but
37:12
insane. Nobody got a raise, nobody got a
37:16
bonus. And not even to like go into
37:19
somebody that's not even in this podcast, but like your dad did
37:24
so much work for that company. So they they started doing
37:30
employee of the year. Yeah, like 2016 I.
37:33
Think, Oh my God, even that included in those things too
37:36
'cause it was during the Christmas party.
37:37
Yes, so, Oh my God, the very first ever employee of the year
37:44
for 20 years. He's been there for 20 years.
37:47
The very first employee of the year.
37:49
He got the award, still didn't get a race.
37:53
Yeah, it was a plaque. It was a plaque.
37:56
I could not believe it. Man, I I was so proud of.
37:58
Him I was. So proud.
38:00
Of him, not a I'm going to take you out to lunch for the year.
38:04
No, nothing like that. It's a plaque that had your name
38:07
on it that said you were the employee of the year, not how
38:10
many years you worked not oh, good job.
38:13
This, that and the other is a it was just plaque.
38:16
And I'm so, so, so incredibly proud of him for even a company
38:21
that toxic that he was the one to win the award.
38:24
He, he was the guy. Was he the.
38:27
First one up, yes was. That at the horse race or the
38:30
dog races. At the dog track.
38:33
That was your first. Christmas party?
38:35
No, no, no. They had Christmas parties for
38:37
20 years. But that was the first time they
38:39
did the. Very first employee that.
38:41
Time that he got it was the first time, yes, I was there.
38:45
And everybody, like, they were so adamant.
38:48
They're like, if this award does not go to JB, we'll riot, yeah.
38:51
They're like we've been telling. You for 20 years this guy is
38:54
holding this company up with his shoulders so.
38:57
I think that was the first one that I went to and I thought you
39:01
guys had done that forever. No, never ever had an employee
39:06
of the year. That was the first one.
39:07
Holy shit. Everybody was like, if he
39:10
doesn't get the award, we'll riot.
39:12
We'll throw things out the window.
39:14
Before we used to have Christmas parties.
39:17
This is how degenerate this company was.
39:21
They used to rent out the dog track, the gambling house for
39:25
horses and dogs. That's where they did their
39:27
Christmas party. This was.
39:28
Before they canceled out all the dogs and all the.
39:31
Dogs. As a young kid, I thought that
39:33
was incredible. Like, this is the coolest thing
39:36
ever. I'm not.
39:37
I'm barely old enough to even be in this place and my company is
39:41
holding a Christmas party here. This is so cool.
39:44
Later on in life I realized that's the saddest thing I've
39:47
ever heard. Yeah.
39:48
Holy God. What do you mean multiple?
39:51
Not one? Dude, for years they went back
39:54
to that place. For years they held a company
39:57
Christmas party at the dog track.
39:59
Couldn't believe that place anyway.
40:02
Yeah. So the entire time I was there,
40:07
I didn't get a technical raise ever until I.
40:13
At the car wash, yeah. Yeah, I, I finally, I put my
40:19
foot down and told one of my managers who then made a fuss
40:23
about it to the higher ups because so for instance, so I
40:32
would help train the regional trainers on different things
40:37
that corporate would send down and teach them how to go about
40:43
doing those things with different people.
40:45
So they would come to me to get like work done as far as how to
40:52
do these different implementations.
40:54
And then I, I had one trainer, regional trainer in particular
40:58
that would come to me to work on her sales pitch because I, I
41:04
have quite a bit of sales experience going all the way
41:08
from very hard sales to the softest sales possible where if
41:13
they even just then you're done. No more, you're not even trying
41:17
to push anymore. So I did that.
41:22
I worked at different locations, help different people.
41:25
When I moved to the location closer to my house, I instantly
41:32
came in. I was about halfway through the
41:35
month when I moved and I was within the week.
41:38
I was already higher than the highest salesperson there with
41:42
the numbers. Why is it selling memberships?
41:44
I'd already passed her and she wasn't very happy by that, but
41:49
everybody was like, oh this dude is legit like whatever.
41:53
And I helped train the managers of that location on how to make
41:59
their sales better and how to overcome objections and that
42:03
type of stuff without being pushy, you know?
42:05
But no raise. But no.
42:06
Raise. And it got to the point where I
42:08
told one of the managers the number 2 dude, I told him I was
42:13
like dude, like I've been quiet quitting for the last three
42:16
years. Like literally doing the bare
42:18
minimum. It's like, Can you imagine what
42:22
my sales would be if I actually tried?
42:24
He comes back with. That's why we didn't give you a
42:26
raise. We knew.
42:27
No, but I was like, dude, I was like, I haven't gotten anything.
42:31
I, I've been told for the last three years that I was going to
42:34
get this management position and blah blah blah blah blah and
42:36
this go through the training process to become a manager of
42:39
my own. Location.
42:40
I hate that. And then never got it.
42:43
And then I got moved to this location to finally get it done.
42:49
And then I get here and the week after I get told, Oh yeah,
42:52
you're not going through the management program 'cause we
42:55
didn't get your buck ordered. And that is the only reason I
42:59
was like really bowl. So I just.
43:02
I stopped even trying for obvious reasons.
43:05
You just got to do better, Ryan. Yeah, you just got to do better,
43:09
Camber. I told him like I was like.
43:11
I was like, I told him that. I was like, dude, I've been
43:13
quite quitting for two years. Can you imagine if I actually
43:16
tried what it would look like? I was like, you have seen what I
43:21
do here. This is my bare minimum.
43:25
And he went in and I was like, I haven't ever gotten a raise
43:29
here. Never once while I watch other
43:33
people get raises. Like, literally.
43:35
Hearing people get raises. And he went in and made a fuss
43:38
and they were like, oh, we didn't realize that.
43:40
Oh, no. And I came back in that next
43:44
week after they said, yeah, we gave you the raise.
43:46
Don't worry. We're we apologize for it taking
43:48
this long. I came back in after they gave
43:50
me a $0.25 raise. Nope.
43:53
And I, I told him I was like, I'm not doing anything extra.
43:58
And I told him how much and he flipped his lid like just went
44:03
off. And I heard him yelling at the
44:06
regional manager, his boss. He was screaming at his boss.
44:11
I heard him through the door of the office outside.
44:15
I was standing outside. They were he was in there giving
44:18
him the business about that bullshit.
44:22
And then it turned out a little like literally, I think it was
44:26
like 2 weeks later, I had enough because of some other bullshit
44:32
with somebody else, some another one of the managers that I
44:37
actually, she was the one that got the manager in training over
44:41
me and she was the one that was the highest salesperson at that
44:45
location. Until I got this on the podcast,
44:48
did we? No.
44:49
Oh, just kidding. It was.
44:50
It was during the trial episodes.
44:53
Oh. Yeah, but yeah.
44:56
Amber it. Was.
44:59
I had passed her and she resented me for it just because
45:06
she was. That's OK.
45:08
Out shown, you know, whatever. That's enough feelings.
45:11
Yeah, whatever, doesn't matter. But when you start taking it
45:14
out, you start taking it out on a a person that is underneath of
45:20
you. That's where the issue is.
45:22
And she gave me the tunes even though I had done a bunch of
45:28
closing one night. Like I did every single closing
45:31
requirement. And then she was pissed off at
45:34
me that I wasn't in the tunnel cleaning with them because I was
45:39
finishing up the closing duties and I was doing everything.
45:44
And that night I walked home. I ended up leaving early.
45:48
I just set my stuff down and just clocked out.
45:50
After 14 hours. No, no, This was this was a
45:53
normal shift. Oh, just kidding.
45:55
That was a different. That was a different.
45:56
OK, that's what I'm thinking we did.
45:57
Talk about that one. Got it, got it, got it.
46:02
I set my stuff down, clocked out, left, walked home.
46:06
I had the next day off. I came in on the Sunday
46:08
afterwards and I walked up to the number two.
46:11
I was like, this is my last day. I'm done.
46:12
Not not even, I was like, I would prefer if you don't even
46:15
tell anybody. I was like, I know you might
46:18
have to because I told you, but I'm telling you out of respect
46:21
for you. I am not coming in tomorrow.
46:25
They could call me all they want.
46:27
They can text me, they can claim they're going to write me up.
46:30
I'm done. Good.
46:31
Make them fire me 'cause I'm no calling, no showing for the rest
46:35
of the time until they choose to fire me.
46:37
But I'm done. This is my last day.
46:39
I don't think I've ever done that.
46:41
Yeah, I just, I was, I and I handed over my radio and battery
46:46
that I had purchased myself. I handed it over to him.
46:51
I was like, here you go. Like I am literally not coming
46:54
back. I work you had to purchase your
46:57
own battery and handheld. No, I didn't have to.
47:01
I chose to because the radios they had there were absolute
47:07
garbage and nobody ever charged the battery.
47:12
So half the time half the radios weren't even functional because
47:16
they didn't have the batteries charged because they would just
47:19
put them down next to the charger rather than charging
47:21
them. So I did my own so that I would
47:24
have a a battery and radio I've. Been there, done that bankroll
47:28
over here. So I, I worked in a factory for
47:34
I think like 4 hours. I, I went in and I got the
47:38
preliminary for like a good maybe 30 minutes, maybe might
47:42
have been 20. And I got my kit and I got my
47:47
hair taken care of and I did what I needed to do and got like
47:53
the garb on. And I went out to the line and I
47:56
work like the first three hours. And in the first three hours,
47:59
the thing almost took my finger off twice.
48:01
I literally everybody was like all right that's lunch and they
48:04
shut it all down for lunch. I literally walked out, put my
48:07
garb on a hook, walked out to my truck and everyone back.
48:11
I was like y'all are insane. I always forget about that story
48:15
because it literally was like one day that you have nothing.
48:18
It wasn't even a day. Yeah.
48:19
I was like, I assume this is going to be like on the up and
48:22
up because you're a pretty big company.
48:23
Like you sell the high distributors like this is is a
48:26
big deal. This is not a not a mom and pop.
48:29
This is huge. And no, they straight up factory
48:31
line. It'll take your fingers off.
48:34
And I was like, Nah, that's not for.
48:36
Me, they did something else like they only trained you for like 2
48:40
seconds or something like that and they were like, yeah, you
48:42
got this. I think it was supposed to be
48:44
1/2 day and it was like 20 or 30 minutes.
48:46
And then the per that was training, you literally like
48:49
walked away and you were like, what am I doing?
48:52
And then they rotated. And then you're like, what am I
48:56
supposed to do? And then like you just kind of
49:00
like did your own thing, sort of.
49:03
And then they're like, OK, that's lunch.
49:05
I literally asked the person next to me who was
49:10
linguistically challenged, they just, they didn't know the
49:12
language and that's OK. I just, I was literally like,
49:15
what are you doing? And she's like, do this, do
49:17
this, do this in her own way. And I, I had to ask.
49:20
I'm like this here. And she's like, yeah, yeah,
49:22
yeah. I'm like, Are you sure?
49:24
And she's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
49:25
I was like, holy shit, dude. So I just stuck my hands in here
49:28
we go. And I'm, I'm flipping trays and
49:30
I'm moving carts and I'm running it down the conveyor.
49:33
And literally 2 times it like caught the tip of my finger.
49:35
I was like, Nope, that's it for me.
49:38
Sorry, guys. I'll do the best work possible,
49:42
but I have to be trained. I'm not losing a fingertip.
49:45
No. For this.
49:46
For what you're paying us. Like it ain't gonna happen.
49:49
I think it was like what, $13.00 an hour?
49:51
Yeah, it was something insane. It was factory work.
49:54
So I. Factory workers, I thought, made
49:57
a lot of money. No, unfortunately the most
50:01
dangerous jobs do not make anything and they should.
50:04
So the other thing was I worked for a multi billion dollar
50:08
company, massive multiple billions of dollars and like the
50:14
number one company like in their sector.
50:19
And I'd been gunning for management for like, I don't
50:23
even know like 9 or 10 months, dude.
50:25
And it was actually disadvantage to me in the company to be
50:31
management because if I went management, management, I'd lose
50:34
union. I would just be management.
50:37
So for like 9 or 10 months, dude, I was like, I want
50:41
management every time we had a weekly meeting.
50:44
Are are you thinking about it? Are you looking at me?
50:47
Is there a spot? What are we doing?
50:50
And I mean literally for months dude for like 3 months I said I
50:54
just said fuck it I grew my beard out which is not allowed.
50:58
You have to be clean ish shaven. Grew my beard out.
51:01
Stop tucking the shirts in. I'll I'll wear whatever the fuck
51:05
I want. I'm not I'm not putting in 110.
51:08
I'm not the first in the last out angle happen.
51:11
I did that for like 3 months and they finally realized they're
51:15
like, oh, he was like kicking ass and they're like, Oh no, we
51:22
should probably help. Like we should probably help
51:25
this situation because he's probably going to leave and
51:27
that's not good. Like so they finally came to me
51:31
and they're like, so you want management?
51:33
And I'm like, I literally I didn't even speak.
51:35
I was like, dude, it's whatever. I don't care if you want to if
51:39
you want to put me in management, I don't give a shit
51:41
anymore. Like I've already I've already
51:43
done this for months and you guys stonewalled and you decked
51:46
off and I'm already in a union. So I don't care what you think.
51:50
You can't touch me. Like I'm in literally the the
51:54
Teamsters. You can't touch me.
51:56
I don't care. It was like a week later, a
52:00
buddy of mine who had made friends with like in and outside
52:03
of work, who was a manager for long like a year before me.
52:07
Is it buddy? It was.
52:09
It was buddy. I love.
52:10
Him and he was like, listen, man, if you, if you follow me,
52:15
if you hear. Me out.
52:16
Brother man, if you fully about face right now, in a week
52:20
they're going to make a manager, but you have to fully about face
52:24
like you straight up have to become what you were.
52:28
I was like, I'm I'll I'll destroy anybody in this place.
52:31
Like it's not a problem. I just need to have it in
52:33
writing. I don't care.
52:35
I'll put in 110%. I'm the first in, I'm the last
52:38
out every time, but I have to know that it's actually coming.
52:41
He's like, I promise, I promise. I'm your friend, like legit, he
52:46
was my like a good friend of mine.
52:48
He's like, I promise you if you about face 180°, I promise you
52:54
you've got it, dude. A week later they're like,
52:57
here's your letter, here's your, here's your stuff, here's your
52:59
radio. I was like, was that so hard?
53:01
Yeah. Why did I have to go through all
53:03
that? Why did I have to show you like,
53:06
I've done this for months and you guys just dicked around the
53:08
whole time and now you want it? And, and by the end of it, I
53:11
literally that was that big argument with the, the big
53:15
honcho at the end where he was like, well, you can come back or
53:18
I'll fire you. I was like, it's a fractured
53:20
spine. I'm probably not coming back for
53:22
another month. I can't even get off like
53:24
literally physically cannot get up off the couch.
53:27
So I'll just go ahead and quit. He's like, OK, you do whatever
53:32
you want. I'm telling you now, like you
53:35
got a week called HR and I'm like fuck that guy.
53:38
Fuck this company. I'm not coming back.
53:41
And I wish, I wish like hell I would have stayed.
53:44
I really do. I'd have been making so much
53:47
money. Oh my God, dude.
53:50
My the only time that I had, because most of the the places
53:57
I've worked hasn't been union. I've I've worked mostly smaller
54:02
places or places that don't have unions.
54:05
The only time I had a direct interaction with a union work
54:09
and it was, it was wild because I don't even remember the place
54:13
that it was at, but it was a corporation.
54:17
And I walked in and as we were going through the job interview,
54:22
they told me, Oh yeah, by the way, you're required to be in
54:26
the, the, the union. If you get this entry level
54:29
position, you're required to be in the union.
54:31
It's like, OK, that's fine. And they're like, by the way,
54:37
the union dues are. It was, I don't remember what it
54:41
was, but it it sounded like now if I got told your union dues
54:47
are $400.00 a week, it wasn't that, but that's what it sounded
54:51
like to me at that time. It was unrealistic.
54:53
I was like, no, I'm good. Yeah, bye.
54:56
And I I you're requiring me to. Be in there.
54:58
And you're taking half my paycheck to make union dues.
55:02
No. Yeah.
55:03
It's not worth it. Bye.
55:04
Walked out. Unions are great to a certain
55:08
extent. Some of them, Some of them we've
55:11
seen in many a time in history, have become bloated.
55:17
And what's the term? Not like corruption is the only
55:27
way that I can like. They're the guys at the top, the
55:30
the union leaders. They're the guys who are
55:32
actually pulling the strings. And unfortunately, do you want
55:36
this job or not? Yeah, I I have nothing more to
55:39
say to you. Do you want the job or not?
55:41
And that's yes or no, like I got nothing else.
55:44
And they, they use that and they, they absorb that power and
55:48
absolute power absolutely corrupts.
55:50
And it does. And that's how, that's how
55:53
Disney does it. You cannot get a job at Disney
55:57
without a union. You have to be in the
55:58
electrical, the Carpenter, the Teamsters, I'm sure there's 10
56:02
more, but you have to be in the union.
56:04
And that was the thing with me. I joined the, I think I joined
56:08
the Carpenters when I went for Animal Kingdom and I was in the
56:12
union and everything was fine. And then Disney was like, hey,
56:15
what's this record? And I'm like oops, y'all weren't
56:18
supposed to see that. Yeah, I don't.
56:21
I don't have an issue with the idea of unions because it
56:26
absolutely made working conditions better.
56:29
It absolutely made pay better. Even if the union's corrupt,
56:35
yeah, it absolutely it benefits the union workers 100% every
56:39
time. But they will get taken
56:42
advantage of if there's not some some yeah firewalls.
56:46
Exactly. Yeah.
56:47
And it was it. It's to a certain extent it's
56:51
it, it becomes not worth it at a certain point.
56:56
So to wrap up, we don't love bad bosses.
57:01
We don't love not getting raises.
57:03
Yeah, we don't love corrupt unions.
57:05
We don't love corruption in general.
57:06
We don't love corruption in general.
57:09
Moving forward, what is Mosquito?
57:13
What is the thing that you're going to focus on in your life
57:18
that you would say is a love? You do it for free.
57:25
Well, technically, clearly this, right?
57:32
Producing content for YouTube podcasting.
57:37
I would absolutely do this for free because I have done this
57:40
over the last seven years. I have done this.
57:42
And you're so brave and strong because we know podcaster is the
57:45
hardest job on our. Yeah, but it's it's not even,
57:49
it's not even like this is what I want to do to make all my
57:53
money. Like if this doesn't make a cent
57:56
and we're just doing this for the fun of it, I'm OK with that.
58:00
Same. I want, I want to have that
58:03
backup and do other stuff to make my money.
58:07
This is my enjoyment. This would be my love of
58:12
creating content because it's challenging, it's mentally
58:18
challenging. There's a lot of different
58:20
things you have to consider and, and work on, but at the end of
58:25
the day, you can produce something that you're proud of
58:28
because you put in that extra effort, you know, So this, this
58:34
absolutely is something that I have been focusing on and will
58:39
continue to focus on. Spoken spoken like a true
58:42
politician. Well.
58:44
Amber. I don't even know.
58:48
What's something you do for free?
58:50
For free because. Clearly, that's your love.
58:54
For free. Priceless.
58:58
No, just kidding. I mean I wouldn't do it for free
59:09
but I already do it for free is like therapy for friends.
59:16
That's good. Like helping others that need
59:21
help when they need help, but like somebody actively like
59:29
going and being like, hey, I need to spend like 2 hours and
59:33
like tell you all this shit. It's like if I have the time,
59:37
yeah, I'll help you for free. But like other people know you
59:42
know what I mean? I do like I I would help other
59:48
people too but like. Family and friends discount is
59:51
free. Yeah.
59:54
And then going back to like what I love, like I'll paint for
59:58
free, but at some point, like I'm gonna start making money.
1:00:02
But you will do it for free. I mean.
1:00:04
It's your love, it's your art. But so it depends like it it
1:00:13
depends like I. For me, I'd paint for free 100%
1:00:20
and it's going to sound really shitty, but like if other people
1:00:23
want things from me, like there's got to be a price.
1:00:27
Like, you know, I don't want to feel free.
1:00:32
I ain't no freebish, you know. Just thinking about it through
1:00:36
the episode, I think my love my do it for free my I would
1:00:41
actually spend money and make no money doing this dog rescue.
1:00:47
So I thought about that. I did.
1:00:49
I was like rescuing dogs 100%. But then I thought about it and
1:00:54
I'm like, I don't, I don't have like personally.
1:01:02
Like we don't have the money to just take in dogs and take care
1:01:06
of them. Oh yeah.
1:01:07
So at some point, like we would need to make money off of it.
1:01:11
But like in a perfect world, like if we had all the money and
1:01:15
everything like that, like yeah, dog rescue, 100%, I would do
1:01:19
that for free if we had the funds.
1:01:21
Yeah, that's my thing. I would actively work something
1:01:25
that I hated, genuinely. Yeah, 100% to.
1:01:28
Pay for something that loses me money to make a dog rescue.
1:01:33
That is also the other thing too in in a kind of like perspective
1:01:37
also is like like right now, like I am technically on a
1:01:42
disability so I'm not working so I can do things in my quote UN
1:01:49
quote free time as long as I'm not on my foot.
1:01:53
Would I paint for somebody 100% like can you, can you provide
1:02:00
the stuff that you need painted 'cause I don't, I don't have the
1:02:03
money to paint what you need, right?
1:02:06
So I would I would do it for free as long as like I guess
1:02:09
compensation. The banking was there.
1:02:11
It doesn't have to be money, but as long as there's like some
1:02:14
sort of compensation. I get it.
1:02:17
I think it also has to do with less about doing it for somebody
1:02:22
else and more about doing it for yourself.
1:02:25
So would you go out and buy the supplies just so that you could
1:02:31
paint? Not.
1:02:32
If I have. Not somebody, not somebody to
1:02:34
come and buy the painting from you or you do giving it to
1:02:40
somebody for their enjoyment. It's more just you getting the
1:02:43
supplies to paint so that you could.
1:02:45
Paint, if I had the money to paint for free without there
1:02:50
being any like or percussions or whatever, absolutely I would pay
1:02:56
for free. I've done that already for
1:02:57
people like already. Like I did a whole, I did a
1:03:04
whole like baby thing for like 2 of my friends and then I've paid
1:03:08
for other people too. And then like if money, if money
1:03:13
wasn't an issue, yeah, I would definitely do like.
1:03:16
I'm not even, I'm, I'm strictly talking for yourself, so not
1:03:19
even giving it to anybody else. Dog rescue and painting, Yeah.
1:03:24
Yeah, yeah, I'll answer for her. She spends so much money on
1:03:27
painting supplies. Oh.
1:03:28
Painting supplies? Yeah, for.
1:03:29
Herself. Yeah.
1:03:30
And just paint stuff for herself.
1:03:32
That's. What I was trying to get at
1:03:33
because she went at it for a business.
1:03:35
I'll answer. For her, yeah.
1:03:37
She's got totes and totes and totes, no.
1:03:40
I don't have totes and totes and totes.
1:03:41
I have maybe 2 totes. It's a big toe.
1:03:44
The big toe and then I have a tiny toe and that is it.
1:03:47
I would call that totes and totes.
1:03:49
And then the other thing is I am, I am trying to get into
1:03:53
tattooing and I don't even have like a totes worth of tattooing
1:03:57
stuff. Not yet.
1:03:58
Not yet. And then I do also want to get
1:04:02
into the whole like, other business aspect and there's only
1:04:07
a little baby tote of that and a bunch of I don't wanna get into
1:04:13
it 'cause I don't wanna talk about it, but like other things
1:04:16
spread out around the house. Understood.
1:04:20
So. I'm with it.
1:04:22
If I have the funds, yeah, I'll definitely do a whole bunch of
1:04:27
different things for myself and dogs being one of them, like
1:04:32
we've taken in so many dogs before.
1:04:34
So many. Yeah, and I so.
1:04:37
Many. I can agree with that on the
1:04:38
content creation, the video creation.
1:04:41
Yeah, podcast creation. Because you do.
1:04:44
That I already I already do that I might.
1:04:46
Actively spend money. You actively spend money, yeah.
1:04:50
But Oh my God, you're just surrounded by like, quote UN
1:04:53
quote hoarders. No.
1:04:57
No, but it's our, it's our happiness.
1:04:59
Yeah, I agree. Most of the stuff I have, I use.
1:05:04
Yeah, yeah. So it's I would not classify
1:05:07
that as a hoarder. I just like tools.
1:05:10
Yeah, I like having so many tools.
1:05:11
That's all of like your hoarder things.
1:05:14
Yeah, I have tool boxes and tool boxes and tool boxes and my
1:05:17
whole truck's full of tools and anyway.
1:05:19
Dad's house is. Full Dad's house is full of my
1:05:21
tools and I I think the the wrap up here is do what do what you
1:05:25
love. Find what you love, not what you
1:05:28
have a calling for because that's different from what you
1:05:30
love. Do something you'd actively
1:05:31
spend money and know that you're not going to make a dime.
1:05:35
Back on it and do that thing. 100%.
1:05:38
Obviously have a backing, but do that thing.
1:05:41
Gross. Thanks.
1:05:42
Hated. It hated it.
1:05:44
Hated it. Keep recording, it's a blooper.
1:05:48
Fucking try this. That is the spiciest thing I've
1:05:52
ever had in my life. Blood.
1:05:54
Orange ginger beer, Ginger. Beer.
1:05:56
It smells. It.
1:05:58
Including Italian blood orange. It's literally real ginger.
1:06:02
I put it in my mouth and I wanted to spit it out during.
1:06:05
The fucking it's like it'll burn your nose.
1:06:07
It's like it's like smelling salt.
1:06:09
It's Ginger. No, it's like jalapeno.
1:06:13
Oh. My God, it's so gingery.
1:06:17
Is it ginger? Yeah, it's 100%.
1:06:19
Ginger. Oh my God, it's the. 100%
1:06:23
ginger. Salt.
1:06:23
I'm just gonna just do it. I'm not drinking.
1:06:26
It I'm not drinking it. Oh, that's really good.
1:06:30
Have the rest. Of it so good.
1:06:32
Oh my God, it burnt my mouth like halfway through the fucking
1:06:36
episode and I was like, I'm gonna die.
1:06:41
It literally says taste juicy and spicy.
1:06:48
That's so. Good.
1:06:49
Oh my God, thanks. Hated.
1:06:50
It that's Ginger. That's called 100% ginger.
1:06:53
That's the beautiful that drink that I told you about when I
1:06:56
brought home that little vial. Like a turmeric or whatever.
1:06:59
Yeah, no, that is because the ginger and garlic is so strong
1:07:03
in that is because it it will burn, it will do this.
1:07:06
And then there's chili powder in there.
1:07:09
Too literally I was going to die and like you guys just kept
1:07:13
talking and I'm like. Fantastic.
1:07:15
No. This is.
1:07:16
So good. Is that what you had?
1:07:17
A coughing. No, wasn't even during then.
1:07:22
Thanks. Hated it.
