  Woo-hoo! Cause for celebration. You understand how wonderful life can get.
• 0:07
  You just made a jump to a higher plane of existence.
• 0:12
  You are evolved and you are joyful because you are enlightened.
• 0:20
  ¡Ay! Motivo de celebración. ¿Entiendes lo maravillosa que puede llegar a ser la vida?
• 0:29
  Acabas de dar el salto a un plano superior de existencia.
• 0:35
  Has evolucionado. Eres feliz porque estás iluminado. Testing.
• 0:49
  So, a friend of mine said there's this thing called slaps.
• 1:00
  They are stickers that you can get ordered custom.
• 1:06
  And then he said that then you put them around town by, you know,
• 1:15
  you slap them up onto things, which I'm sure is terrifying. So I'm like, okay.
• 1:24
  That's a tough job. And then he said, well, I can totally do it for you.
• 1:30
  And I was like, wow, really? I mean, honestly, you could like,
• 1:33
  because there's 500 of them.
• 1:36
  Totally. And I was like, all right.
• 1:42
  That would be awesome. And so we ordered these guys, which cost $300.
• 1:53
  And they arrived. And I texted him and I said, hey, they arrived. They arrived.
• 1:59
  And no response.
• 2:06
  He did say something. He said, um, oh, I'm not sure exactly what the text was,
• 2:14
  but more or less what the text was saying was, hey, on the right side,
• 2:20
  if they don't get put up, at least you won't have to pay me.
• 2:28
  So,
• 2:31
  looks like I'm out. $300. Anybody want some stickers?
• 2:37

• 2:42

  our YouTube channel so you can watch some of our podcast videos.
• 2:52
  But they're going to be sitting in this box right here.
• 2:57
  Because I guess the kind of people that will take the time to do that kind of
• 3:03
  a project walk all over the city,
• 3:08
  and put these stickers on bus stops and telephone those kind of people are also
• 3:13
  the kind of people that are subject to you know I'm just not in the mood to
• 3:17
  do it right now just not in the mood to do it right now,
• 3:24
  I tell ya.
• 3:30
  I cannot believe that at my age, I can't judge them for that because,
• 3:37
  wow, have I done that in the past.
• 3:41
  It's a very artistic way of feeling towards life, you know. I'm just,
• 3:46
  just don't dig it. I'm just not into it. It's just not me right now. I just can't do it.
• 3:51
  Yeah i'm not feeling it uh maybe another time all right but i'm just gonna have
• 3:58
  to back out and say nah that's a hard no.
• 4:07
  Which is totally cool unless you're the person on the other end who spent 300
• 4:11
  fucking dollars to buy the stickers that they're not,
• 4:21
  they're not sure they feel like putting them up.
• 4:26
  And then you're afraid because if they did put them up, wouldn't you be liable
• 4:31
  for, you know, the littering?
• 4:35
  Because it is kind of littering.
• 4:38
  So shouldn't I be happy that they're not out there because that's just more garbage in the world?
• 4:44
  But I say, I don't know how to do this, you know? How do you promote yourself
• 4:48
  without being just more garbage out in the world?
• 4:52
  Watch me, not them. I'm better.
• 4:57
  Whoa whoa i mean i don't even have a clue where to start doing this stuff and
• 5:02
  in a way i'm kind of happy i don't,
• 5:06
  you know because man,
• 5:10
  what has it turned into i'm not sure i don't know i don't have a clue i do know
• 5:15
  that there are a lot of people out there though vying for your dollar to help
• 5:20
  support you promote that which you are doing.
• 5:24
  We have a million kazillion ways to help you earn money doing that.
• 5:31
  We'll get it out there for you and make sure people hear the word of you.
• 5:36
  And it's only going to cost you blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 5:43
  There's a million, zillion of those out there. And the reason I'm speaking that
• 5:46
  way isn't, is because the con is on.
• 5:52
  The con is on. There are so many cons out there on the internet that are saying
• 6:00
  we will help you publish, promote, produce, advertise, get it known,
• 6:07
  put it on social media, have it released, make sure you have it all together
• 6:13
  before you try and go out for that extra something.
• 6:18
  We're going to get behind the scenes and make sure you have a qualified website
• 6:23
  and some sort of program put together to discuss who exactly you should get into contact with.
• 6:31
  What people that are really well known in the industry, and by that I mean on
• 6:37
  social platforms who have a lot of followers, do we want to put you in touch with?
• 6:43
  Because that's what it's all about, you know. You want to become one of those
• 6:46
  people with lots of followers, so we're going to put you in touch with someone
• 6:51
  who has lots of followers, so that you can have lots of followers.
• 6:59
  And all you have to do is pay us a certain amount, and we'll get you in touch
• 7:03
  for them, and hey, after that, it's all up to you to convince that person with lots of followers,
• 7:11
  to give you a moment to promote your shit so that maybe you'll get lots of followers,
• 7:17
  so that someday people will pay you money,
• 7:20
  so that they can get on your show, so that they can promote people,
• 7:25
  so they can get lots of followers.
• 7:33
  The fuck? That's the system? Woo!
• 7:38
  Can't get any better? Listen, the internet moves fast.
• 7:41
  I'm just saying, if that's the system, somebody please come up with a better one.
• 7:47
  Because we'll follow. And when we follow, we are really good at leaving behind
• 7:53
  those that are deserving of being left behind.
• 7:56
  This is really weird right now, you guys. This doesn't represent community.
• 8:01
  The internet is supposed to bring community to people. It's supposed to bring us together.
• 8:07
  It's not supposed to make us fight for lots of followers.
• 8:14
  It's not supposed to get us to invest our retirement savings into figuring out
• 8:21
  how to get lots of followers.
• 8:25
  It's a community. We just want to say, hey, we're out here. Look what we're doing.
• 8:30
  Maybe it's interesting. We're going to try to be entertaining.
• 8:34
  We're going to put everything we have into it.
• 8:36
  We're going to work hard, but we're also going to be artistic,
• 8:39
  and we're going to have an opinion. And...
• 8:44
  Maybe that energy is worth following. Maybe there's a direction that we're trying
• 8:48
  to push, and maybe other people are trying to push the direction that way,
• 8:52
  and maybe it's a good thing.
• 8:55
  The Internet is capable of extraordinary feats.
• 8:59
  It can make a community instantly, overnight.
• 9:03
  It can make a community respond instantly, overnight.
• 9:08
  It is capable of change at such a rapid pace.
• 9:14
  And that is extraordinary because change has taken too long.
• 9:23
  So I'm saying,
• 9:28
  the end result of this thing called the Internet and social media shouldn't be followers.
• 9:35
  How many followers can you get?
• 9:39
  The end result should be community. Yay!
• 9:44
  Who's got a voice I can support? I'll follow them.
• 9:48
  Who's got a vision that I agree with? I'll follow them.
• 9:58
  Who's having fun?
• 10:02
  Who's being crazy? Who's introducing me to something new? Who's making me think?
• 10:09
  You know, that's what I'm looking for. That's what excites me.
• 10:16
  All right? So, listen. Oh, you guys.
• 10:24
  If you know someone out there, or maybe you're willing to. Maybe you need a couple extra bucks.
• 10:30
  Can you help me put these out all over? I've only got 500.
• 10:40
  We pay good wages. And by we, I mean me, cash under the table.
• 10:47
  Sorry, sorry, I'm kidding. We're going to pay taxes and be legit.
• 10:53
  Absolutely.
• 10:58
  Have a good one bye.
