  Speaker 2: Ditch the malt, add tequila. Welcome back, Day Drinking With Dog.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, it is a pleasure to have someone here sitting
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: across from me that was lucky enough. to be in
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: yankee stadium last night to see that uh monstrous two-game
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: sweep of the red sox that is basically a triple-a
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: fucking team uh jack.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Thomas freshly 21 uh welcome.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: To the show buddy thank you so much.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: You're welcome man uh before we get into why you're
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: really here um congratulations uh.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: It wasn't even a contest.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: No, not slightly.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: The only people that actually, there was two guys that
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: played well for the Red Sox, and that was the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: starting pitcher in each game.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: But they got yanked early. Not that it would have
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: fucking mattered. It wouldn't have.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I'm going to let you have the floor, but let
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: me get this off my chest as a Red Sox fan.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: And I said this to some friends today. The biggest.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Problem the Red Sox had this year was going on
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: that winning streak. This team was flawed from the beginning.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: They shouldn't have been 14 games under.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: 500.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: They probably should have been a. 500 team all year,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: maybe 10. They're probably right where they should have been
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: record-wise because of their pitching.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Craig Breslow has constructed a weak-ass offense, put all his
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: fucking marbles into Roman Anthony and Marcelo Meyer.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: One can't play, and one is already out of town. Yep. And.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: It totally backfired, and they gave Craig Breslow a new
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: contract right before the playoffs started, and it's just a
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: typical fucking John Henry-owned team. They can't get out of
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: their own way. They don't want to spend money. But
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you know what, Jack? The Yankees are the Yankees. I
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: actually envy you guys and the fact that you try
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: to win games, actually. You try to win the World Series,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: just not make the playoffs. But what was the atmosphere
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: last night?
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: It was incredible. I've never been to a postseason game before.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: It was something like I'd never seen before.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, you've never been to one? Never. Oh, man. Especially
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: a Red Sox-Yankees one.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: It was nuts.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Because, you know, we're in southern Connecticut, so I took
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: the Yankee train there. And it was like half Red Sox,
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: half Yankees fans.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: It was half people.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: saying let's go yankees having people saying let's go red
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: sox chanting pretty much the entire way like it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Was not were you on the yankee clipper train yep
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah right out of milford.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Right out of milford nice nice and it was not
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: exactly the environment you want to be sitting next to
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: your your stepmom and your dad not not exactly i
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: had i had headphones in pretty much the whole time
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: yeah That's not.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I've been on some ride homes from Yankee-Red Sox games.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Some I was very happy. There was a game where
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Raphael Devers hit a monster home run in the ninth
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: inning and we won in ten off of Chapman, who
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: didn't even– I don't think he played.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Because he didn't need him. But I've been through some
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: humiliating– it's a tough ride home.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: That ride home was quiet. That was– it was quiet.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: No one spoke. Except for the Yankees fans, of course. Right.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Like.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Were there, like, any, like, drunkenly asshole people?
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Towards the end of the game, not even on the train,
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: towards the end of the game, there was a fight
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: that almost broke out right in the 400s because, I guess,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: two people were just chatting each other.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Like, they weren't saying anything good.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: And... Now, was it Red Sox-Yankee going out at fans? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: And so... I was with my dad.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: He went down to go get a beer and we're like,
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: why is he taking so long? He comes up and
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: he's like, sorry, I had to hold these two guys back.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: They were like trying to kill each other.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: So your dad to the rescue, huh?
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm 52.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I've been going to Red Sox games, Patriots games, Bruins games,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: even Yankees games, Mets games my whole life. I've never
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: really seen like a crazy all-out brawl like you see
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: if you're flipping down barstool or something. Some of the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: shit now is like, Jesus Christ, these people just wail
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: on each other.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: I swear to God, it's like– and this is more
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: of a general thing too. I just feel like the
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: internet gives people so much like ego and like they
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: are so like– Insta-famous. Insta-famous and it's like because everyone–
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: like the internet is showing everyone what they want to see.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Everyone just feels so righteous in what they believe in.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: So they'll fight for it no matter what.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I think some people wouldn't fight if no one had
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: their cameras out. They'd probably just be like, oh, the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: cameras are rolling. Be a tough guy.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I saw– you know Street Talk? I think Barstool.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: And I was outside Yankee Stadium last night and people
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: were walking up like– completely fine. They looked like they
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: were completely sober. They saw that camera on, they started
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: acting like they were like, like they could not tell
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: what time it was. Like they didn't know where they were.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: A camera goes off. They completely normal again and walking
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: right away. Like they just wanted their chance.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Well there's, there's a, there's a kid in Milford. I
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: don't know his name.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I gave him my card cause it was a 4th
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: of July where I was at a party and he's
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: still in high school. I think he's a senior. Well
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: now he's graduated. But, um, My buddy was talking to him.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: He's like, hey, yeah.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: He goes, you beat the rap or something, he said.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I'm like, what'd you do? He's like, oh, remember when
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the Knicks won?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I was in that melee of fucking beating up the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: fucking guy in the fucking jersey.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. I'm like, that was you? He goes, yeah.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: He goes, I didn't start it, though. I swear to God.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I'm innocent. I'm innocent.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I gave my card to come on the show and
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: tell a story. The kid is like 17 years old.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what are you doing out there, dude?
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Go home.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: That's a story for after he turns 18 and that
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: statute of limitations kind of goes away.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Right, right, right.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Like, God, you see these videos of these people.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: It's nuts.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Well, moving forward, I mean, you got Tampa starting Saturday night.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Kind of a weird start to the series. I think
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: you played Saturday. You're off Sunday. Do you play Monday?
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe so.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: That's kind of weird.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: And you got to be off Tuesday, right? Because it's
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: travel day.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: So you got some time that you're already well rested
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: because you swept us.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: So we get the extra day. Who plays tonight?
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Philly Atlanta's game three. I think that's it.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Everything else was a sweep.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Everyone else swept. But it's like I'm thinking like is
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: it better or worse?
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Because we're coming off like we just played two games.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Tampa's got all that rest is that gonna hurt them
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: or is that gonna like are they gonna be a.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Little rusty i think uh especially if judge does come
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: back i don't think it matters i think you guys
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: are going to the world series i don't think you're
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: winning it but no tampa's tampa's one of those teams
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: like they're built for the regular season um you know
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: they just have quality starting pitching but i i just
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: don't see him winning the series and it's only five
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: games i think it was a seven game series and
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: maybe they have a better shot Because they can wear
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: some of the pitching down for the Yankees. But, I mean,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Chicago or– who's the other team? Chicago, White Sox won.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: The Padres swept.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: No, in the AL.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, in the AL.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Who were the White Sox playing? Is it Texas or Cleveland?
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: It was Texas. It was the Astros.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: What? They beat the Astros. Yeah. But who are they
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: playing now? Hold on. I'm an idiot. How do I
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: not know this?
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no. I was literally looking at the bracket last night.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Texas plays.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Sorry for the awful pause of my not having my
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: baseball knowledge with me.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: I should also have my baseball knowledge with me.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: We're fucking missing. Who are we missing? We're missing. We
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: are missing... All right, the game's got to be Saturday.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Of course, I've got to get through all these fucking...
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: All right, here we go.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Yep, I just pulled it up.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Cleveland. Sorry about that, guys. White Sox, Guardians, and it's
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: going to be Tampa.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: And again, though, the whole AL these plays each other,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: which is stupid, too.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: They've got to reseed it or make sure you can't
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: play your own division.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: They need to make some change.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Because we honestly, with the Red Sox being the worst
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: of the three, we were the three best teams in
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the whole AL.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: And we all got to play each other and let
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: these four crap teams fucking duke it out to play
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: in the ALCS?
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: The worst record in the playoffs right now is 500.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: They didn't even have a winning record. I know.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: And they're making the playoffs because everyone else in their
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: division is terrible.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, something's got to be done. They keep changing
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: the format. Remember it used to be the one game?
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: One game wildcard?
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: So I was at the one game wildcard like four
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: years ago.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Okay. In Fenway. It's Sunday.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: The Red Sox are playing at 1 o'clock. Yankees are
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: playing at, like, 1 o'clock too, I think. But then
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: there's two games at night or later in the day
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: that would decide who plays where.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: It was always crazy.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: It was all down to the wire for this one
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: playoff game. So I'm with my buddy Angelo, and I'm like,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: let's go online.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: And see how much tickets are for Fenway. He's like, well,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: they might not be playing.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I'm like, just fucking see. Like, third baseline, seven rows back,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: $ 140 or something we paid.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I'm like, buy him. He's like, buy him. I'm like,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: buy him. He's going to refund the money if the
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: game's not played. Yep. So we got the tickets. The
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: whole day works out. We go up. So we get
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: up there. Obviously, you know how the game turns out.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: But we have this kid next to us, Yankee fan,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: real nice kid, and he's by himself.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: I'm like, would you drive up here?
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: He goes, no, I actually flew into Logan from JFK.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what was that, a fucking 30-minute flight? He goes,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: how much were the tickets? He's like, I paid like
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: $ 600 for this ticket. And I go, are you staying?
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: He goes, no, I'm flying home right after the game. And, like,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: you know, like, it was like, what, Xander Bogart did
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: a two-run home run in the first inning.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I'm like, man, it sucks to be you. You just
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: dropped a G-note. You're not even staying in the night. Seriously.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: A flight, a last-minute flight.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, I fucking, that's cool, I guess. If you
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: have the means.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: To do that, if you have the schedule and the
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: money to do that, I'd probably be doing the same thing.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: It's probably jealousy talking.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: It's fucking nuts. Like, Jesus.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: If I had that, like.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: scheduling availability if i had the money to just drop
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: a thousand dollars to go watch my team get the
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: shit beaten.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: That was a great game though oh yeah i mean
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: you guys you guys missed home runs by like two
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: feet three times i think stanton and judge and then
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: i've i've been to world series games at fenway park
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: where david ortiz have hit home runs but that when
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: they threw judge out at the plate.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I've never felt the stadium shake more than it did.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: It was fucking insane.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: And I saw it. I'm like, they're waving them in.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: They're waving. Are they fucking kidding me?
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: They're waving them in.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: And then they got them at the plate. I was like, oh, man.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: But that was the last glorious moment. We suck.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: That was the last glorious moment of the current Red Sox.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's just pathetic. It's pathetic.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, Roman Anthony has been hurt three times now
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: from swinging the bat. Which is the number one fundamental
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: thing of a hitter is to swing.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: A bat, and apparently he doesn't know how to do it.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: He's getting Giancarlo Stanton numbers, but only in injuries. Not
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: the home runs, not the OPL.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I went to bed game one. I didn't even know
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: I got hurt.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I woke up the next morning, and I'm just going
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: to work, and I'm at work, and I'm doing scrolling.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: And then it starts coming in. I'm like, you've got
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: to be kidding me. This is a joke. But, you know,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the whole winning streak we had, he wasn't in it.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: He wasn't involved in it. Trevor Story wasn't involved in it.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I'm like, bring the Mickey Gaspers back and all these
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: guys and see what they– I don't know.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: That's how I'm feeling about Judge.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: It's like we swept crazy without Judge in the lineup.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, given his past in the postseason, I'm like.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: He's like A-Rod level.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: A-Rod, probably you were a young kid when A-Rod was
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: fucking choking away fucking every at-bat. He had a good
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: 2009 when they won, last time they won the World Series.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: But you were five, right?
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Something like that. 2009, I was four.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: I got fucking shut off at Buffalo Wild Wings in
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: game one at the mall.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Jesus Christ.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Well, I didn't get shut off. Our whole table got
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: shut off. We had like five drinks each. And we're like,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: it was like the fifth inning. There was like seven
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: of us, and the girl's like, you've all had fucking
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: six drinks.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, I had seven, and I'm feeling fine.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know. We really– and it's a corporate mentality. Yeah.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: That's my one memory of Buffalo Wild Wings. I never
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: want to forget. All right.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: So let's get to the fact why you're here. So
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I was online, and I think it was Milford Patch
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: or somebody.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Patch, right?
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Put an article out about an entrepreneur from Milford. that
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: now lives in California. And obviously, that is Jack Thomas
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: sitting across from me. And I don't know why I
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: clicked on it, but I did.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: And I usually don't. I usually click on Milford Pat
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: shit to tell everybody that it has nothing to do
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: with Milford. Yeah. Just to be a troll. But actually,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: this one, I clicked on it and I read the article.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: And the business you had of selling computers and stuff
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: has somehow morphed into.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: A business to help protect elderly against scams, I guess
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: is the best way to put it.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: And I'll talk about my father being frauded out of
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: a lot of money later in the show. But tell
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: me how you got there and the story behind that all.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah. When I was 16, when I started my first business,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: so I was, this was like late 2019, early 2020.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: Right before COVID, I had bought a gaming PC, but
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: I was poor.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: I had no money.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Like, I could only afford, like, a $ 600 really shitty
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: gaming PC. And I got it in, like, two weeks later,
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: and it was broken. Like, and this company wasn't.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Like, broken from the mail? It came in broken?
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: It came in broken.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: Not from the mail, just because the company, like. They
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: gave me like a bad like power supply.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Not functioning. Not functioning at all.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: And so I'm like calling the company like three times
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: a day. Like, you know, this is broken.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: This is broken. This is broken.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: And they were like walking me through the steps on
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: how to fix it. Because I'm not like wanting to
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: ship it back. And then they fix it. And then
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: like I'm impatient. So they were walking me through how
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: to fix it on the phone. And this happened so
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: much because his company was terrible. It was probably all
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: used parts. So I kind of just learned the ins
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: and outs of PCs. And so I just started building
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: computers for people like my friends, stuff like that. They'd
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: throw in like 50 bucks, 100 bucks if I want
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: to just put together their PC stuff.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, sure.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: So I was gaining like, I, I, at this point
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: I'm like 15, I can't hold a legal job.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: So I'm like, all right, I guess I'll do this to,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: to make some money.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: And, uh, I started doing it on Facebook marketplace, just
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: advertising it like a hundred bucks.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: I'll build the PC for you.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: And they loved it until this one guy, I guess the,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: it was the same thing. I think maybe a piece
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: of Ram may have broken in shipping and he was
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: like threatening to sue me. And I'm like, ah, this
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: isn't good because, um, I don't have any like company
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: or anything to protect me.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Right. So I'd kind of fixed it with him.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: And immediately after I started Googling, like, how do I
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: form an LLC? Like, how do I make this legit
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: so that I don't run the risk of like my
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: parents like.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Getting, losing their house.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: So I did that, started a website and started selling
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: gaming PCs. Um, and then after a little while of that,
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: you know, we were doing.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: So can I stop you there? So now you're into
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the gaming PCs. Walk me through in the business sense
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: of it. Uh, where do you get them from? Do
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: you get them wholesale? Are you piecing them together and
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: selling them? Are you, Because my kid has like a
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: whole setup. He's got the fucking wheel, a chair, a shifter, the.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Three monitors, the fucking key. I grew up with authority.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: It's a racing sim.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: So are you buying this stuff wholesale or you have
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: a connection to flip them and obviously make some profit
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: when you sell them to somebody on the internet or
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: on Facebook?
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so it was.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: the smallest form of wholesale ever. I was bootstrapping the
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: whole thing. So, you know, I didn't have the money
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: to like buy GPUs in bulk and like stuff like that.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: So I was like, I had the very like most minimal,
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: like sometimes I would like find suppliers and be like,
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: I'll pay for like a, um, like a test. Like
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: before I, you know, buy in bulk, I want to
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: see if I can, like how it is and I
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: want to see it in person.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: And so they'll send me one or two and then
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: I'd use those parts. Like I would find parts like
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: that were new out of the box, um, on marketplace
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: or anything like that. Never like used, used parts, but
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: I was finding like different ways to get them.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: And if all else failed, I was just ordering them
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: on Amazon and paying MSRP.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: So like I was finding creative ways to put them
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: together and, just because I didn't have the money to
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: like buy in bulk and like get.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: These cheaper parts with suppliers.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Like any meeting with a supplier I had, if it
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: was in person or over zoom, they'd see this like
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: 16 year old kid at the time. They're like, all right,
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: I'm not fucking dealing with this. Like, so they didn't
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: think I was serious. So it, and it still is
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: kind of impossible to like maintain relationships.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: When you look young. No one takes it seriously. Right.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: So I was just kind of doing whatever it is
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: I could.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Was it worth it, the margins worth it, to the
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: time you put into it?
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Like the sweat equity? Barely.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Barely. But I was having fun doing it. That's
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: big for, especially being young.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: I was like, I was still in high school. So
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: like I was having fun doing it. I knew I
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: wanted to build something on my own. So just like
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: the foundation of like, all right, I have this. And
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: if I want to turn it into something else, you know,
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: I can like, it was fun to like what, like
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: I said that already, but like the marketing aspect, like
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: just being kind of in charge of like, the marketing
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: of like, I had contractors a little later on that
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: were building.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: The PCs for me, like just kind of managing all that.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: I was having a blast doing it.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: The margins weren't great. I, you know, like I'll mention later,
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: I had to pick up a job once I turned 16,
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: you know, but at the end of the day, it
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: was just like a blast.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's awesome.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Like I, where I work, I see kids your age,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: even some a little younger, um, Some a little older.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: And just sitting here talking to you, I could tell
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: that your leaps and bounds are gonna fly by these
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: lazy generation that i see now you seem like a
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: really motivated kid and we haven't got into what you're
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: really doing now um but that's uh that's cool man
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: like i i i have a business sense sort of
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: myself but i just never really you know i guess
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: dove into it too much um you know, I don't
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: really consider this podcast in the business sense that I
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: do this for fun.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, I have a sponsor, you know, I
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: got a studio, but it's like.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: Studio, like I've seen pictures online, but like in person,
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: this is a lot cooler than like, it's made to
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: look out.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Like I had, uh, I had Dan, I don't know
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: who Dan Patrick is.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: So he's a Milford guy and I was the old
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: ESPN guy and I had him on once and, uh,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: he walked in and, He was, like, looking around.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: I said, yeah, that was pretty cool. I used to
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: do this in my, you know.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: So, when he left ESPN, they used to do their
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: podcast upstairs in his house with all those, like, Danettes
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and all that.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: And then it ended up being they live in Eveningside.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: And they have some weird rule where you're not allowed
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: to run a business within the boundaries of that. So,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: we had to move it. And now he's on Nagataka.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: He was downtown at Seven Seas for a while above there.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: But he fucking comes on and he was very cordial.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: We talked for an hour.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Great stories. Jordan, you know, Tom Brady stories is awesome.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: And then like two weeks later, he was on his
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: show and Rich Eisen was on and they were talking
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: and he's like, I was on this podcast.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: I was like in a closet. I'm like, motherfucker. Yeah.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: But then I'm like, you know what?
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Fucking say the name of.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: The podcast for it.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I don't give a shit if it's negative press.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: If you're going to talk shit, press it.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, press it, man. Good news. Whatever. Anyway, so yeah.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I do this for fun. I've met all walks of life.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: And having you come on, it's awesome. So now let's
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: get into... I read something about you worked at.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: CVS, right? And Bridgeport Ave and Milford.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so like I was saying... I wasn't making money.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: I was just like.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: You can't make minimum wage. Well, no.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: I'm saying like with PCs.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, with the computers.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: I wasn't like really making money. I was just doing it.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: I'd have a couple hundred extra bucks here and there
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: or whatever. But I, you know, I was 16. I
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: was getting a car. I had to pay insurance, you know.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: I had a girlfriend. That was more expensive than anything else.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: So I had to like... I got a job at
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: CVS and.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: I was just seeing all these people come in. From
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: my first day, people.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Buying $ 500 on gift cards.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: I'm like, that's weird. I guess someone's grandkid is going
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: to have a really nice Christmas. I'm not thinking much
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: of it. And then it was just this repeated story
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: of this one guy coming in every Friday at 5 p.m.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: And he'd buy $ 500. thousand i think our limit that
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: we could sell was like two thousand which i think
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: should be lower but like thousands to hundreds on the
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: same gift card like week after week and eventually i
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: just asked him i'm like you know like what are
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: you doing with this right right now.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: I'm not really allowed to ask but like at some.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Point you're like right i i have to.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: Ask like curiosity and just like kind of safety wise
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: like You know, what's going on? He's like, oh, like
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: my landlord. He's, you know, doing me this huge favor.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: He's letting me put my rent on gift cards for
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: like a discount. Like, I've never heard of that. Like,
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: you know, what are you talking about? And he showed
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: me a text. And it's like the beginning message is, hi,
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: I am your landlord.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, okay. Like, have you texted your landlord?
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: Landlord on the other number since then he's like yeah
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: he just texts me on different ones from time to
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: time i'm like okay so this was like before um
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: before i'd sold him the gift card this time and
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: i'm like yeah sorry i can't sell this to you
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: he was pissed he was like like good for you
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: like i'm not like i'm not hurting you like i'm
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: just trying to you know like save some money. I'm like,
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: I understand, but you know, this is week three and
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: I just, you know, I don't have a good feeling
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: about this.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: I have the right to refuse service to anyone.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: I'm going to use it. Calls for the manager. The
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: manager like doesn't know exactly what's going on. So she
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: kind of lets it slide and I'm like, fuck. Right.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: So I didn't see him again after that.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: And like, I didn't see him again after that. So
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: I'm sure he got the the message after, because it
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: was three weeks. So on the fourth rent's due, and
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: I'm sure his actual rent came in.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Right, right.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: So, you know, that story, like in particular, kind of
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: stuck with me. But at the time I was still
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: doing gaming PCs. Right. That was a whole different thing.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: But just that repeated story kind of stuck with me
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: all throughout the years.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's such a familiar story with my own father.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: I wish.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: My father had someone like you working at Cumberland Farms
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: in Massachusetts when he was doing this.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: We uncovered just.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: $ 30, 000, $ 40, 000 in gift cards that he thought he was
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: helping people out.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: He was probably looking for companionship. He was living alone.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: I didn't see my dad often in the later years.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: I talked to him.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Uh, but you know, there was distance and work and everything. And, uh,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: you know, the last time I saw him, his phone
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: was blowing.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Up and I'm like, what's going on?
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, my brother were just like, so we grabbed
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: his phone and I went through it and I said,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: you know, delete all this shit and get a new
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: phone number.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: And he did, but I guess he didn't delete all
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: the information. I'm not that, you know, I went home,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: you know, back to Connecticut.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: So, uh, I'd got a random message on Facebook messenger, uh,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: I think it was finally someone that knew what was
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: going on and was part of it, but then maybe
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: had a conscience and wanted somebody to know. So I
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: called my father out on it and he was very
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: angry at me, very defensive. You know, my father was
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: kind of, you know, losing his marbles, let's say. But
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: it was, it was tough. And then, new year's day,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: he was supposed to show up my brothers or Eve
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: and didn't. And my brother, you know, found him at
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: the house and he passed away. So as we're going through,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: you know, he's, he lived in the same house for,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: you know, 50 something years or 45 years, whatever it was.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: And, uh, it was, it was tough going through everything.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: It was emotional going through the, you know, the emotions of,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: you know, seeing old pictures and all this stuff. And then,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: started going through some other stuff and like jesus christ
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: there's just gift cards with the numbers back scratched off
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: the back everywhere and i have a whole box it's
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: actually here at the studio just as a reminder um
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: and then when i got through the grief i was
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: in florida and just one of those nights i couldn't
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: fall asleep and this word popped up in my head
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: this acronym scam And I'm like, what could SCAM stand for?
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: That would be something associated with this. And it took
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: me a while. I'm like, wait, senior citizens awareness mission.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: And I wasn't working at Sikorsky yet. And I was
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: like trying to develop it, trying to get an LLC
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: for it, make it a nonprofit. And then, you know,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: life hits me again and I get a new job
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: and I'm enthralled with that.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: My other job and the show.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: And unfortunately I kind of put it on the back burner.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: So like I said, when I saw your story, it
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: just totally revived my interest in, in, in trying either
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: to help.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: You or maybe you could help me. I don't know.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Like it's, it's a, it's, it's fascinating that the scope
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: of the fraud that exists against not just, you know, elderly,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: but everybody really, but the elderly are the most susceptible
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: to it.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Well, first, thank you.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: I like part of, you know, having that story that
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: went on about me in the patch, that sparking interest
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: is huge. Because my whole thing is just like, if
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: I can help one person, then if I help one
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: person avoid getting scammed for.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: $ 40, 000.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: One day, the entire career is worth it. Just one person,
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: if I can help one person save $ 40, 000, I'll dedicate
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: my life to that.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: Like that's just kind of the mission really. And it
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: really is like they target seniors because they might be,
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: you know, not as with it as they once were.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: And a lot of them are looking for companionship.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: Like if you like their significant others past, if their
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: children move away, like they're in an assisted living facility and,
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: Assisted living facilities, some of them don't have the greatest rep.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: They're not hall monitors.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: They're not watching what your parents are doing or whatever.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: I worked a little bit with some EMTs right before
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: I moved to LA.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: I was actually trying to become an EMT. So I
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: went through the whole school, everything like that.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: And one of the like quotes from an emt that
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: stuck in my head was like oh like these like
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: non-expensive like nursing facilities just living facilities that's just old
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: people jail yeah and i'm like that's actually a pretty
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: decent like and i saw it firsthand like yeah how
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: they treat some of these i'm like wow.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah And it drains out their life savings. It drains
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: out the, you know, the, you know, the money that
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: could go to the children and then the grandkids and
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. And it's, it's, it's something I wish
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: we could like kind of maybe regulate a little better,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: but yeah.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, I don't know.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, somebody has got to pay for it, you know,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: but you want the best care. You know, I just
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: watched my mother, for a week uh she's 80 you
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: know she has early probably mid-onset dementia uh and it
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: was great spending the week with her i haven't really
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: seen her more than you know lunch here and there
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: for the last four years um so she spent the
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: whole week with us and it was nice but she's
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: married she's not gonna i mean i don't think she's
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: she's not really on the phone at all um i
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: i i think some of the best and i think
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: we could actually probably shoot back and forth here on
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: some of the Best advice to avoid some of this stuff,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: especially with AI now. It's a whole different ballgame. It
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: is a whole different ballgame now. It's just going to
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: make it harder and harder. And I think the easiest,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: most simple solution is almost like you can lock a
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: phone out for your children.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: You can lock a phone out for the elderly.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: They can obviously get phone calls and stuff, but.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Harp on them. Do not answer... Do not answer a
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: call if you don't know the number. Yep.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Because the minute you say hello and all this, they're
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: recording it, and AI is recording it. I have a
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: friend whose father lives in North Carolina, and two men
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: knocked on his door, and he answered it, and they
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: claimed to be private investigators, and that his son is
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: being held, or his grandson, excuse me, is being held
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: for DWI back in Connecticut, and they need $ 10, 000 cash,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: and you have 24 hours to get it. And they
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: came back the next day and knocked on the door.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: He's like 70-something, and he gave them the $ 10, 000, and
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: they never saw him again. Didn't bother to call his
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: son to see what's going on with the grandson. He
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: just was so shocked and stunned and worried. He had
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: the means to do it, and he did it.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: The most important part of that story is the urgency
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: that he put on that he put on right he
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: said 24 hours right that does not give you time
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: like out of 24 hours you know you sleep ideally
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: eight right yeah and that only leaves you with a
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: couple hours that you're like actually thinking right and like
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: in those hours if you're trying to scrounge together ten
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: thousand dollars like that mission to get that money to
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: do whatever these scammers are telling you like that's the
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: most important part that they rely on is for you to.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Not think and just do.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Just do it, yeah.
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: That urgency is the number one thing that they will
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: try and get you for.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: See, the problem with my father was, unlike the guy
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: that probably came into CVS, my father probably had some
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: kind of dementia or memory loss because he just kept
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: falling for it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was a cash cow for these people.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: It was just insane.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: And, you know, I went through the whole whatever you
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: want to call it, grief period and then anger.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: And then, you know, that's my fucking money.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: You know, these fucking assholes have been probably somewhere out
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: in South Africa.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know where they're from. I have it.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Or they used it.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: He was doing, like, eBay cards, Amazon cards, Apple cards,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: you know, 500, 500, 500, 500, 500.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: And that one person, like I said, at that Cumberland
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Farms was like, hey.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Hey Dave, you know, maybe, uh, I know you got
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of grandkids, but Jesus, you know, don't waste
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: your life savings on them.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: That's exactly like what everyone was thinking was like at
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: CVS at least was just like, you know, this person
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: comes in at like scheduled every single time. Like there
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: has to be something going on and it's just, it's
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: really up to like the people. It's really up to
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: the community to like step in and like help your elders. Right. Like, Because,
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: you know, if they're that deep in it, in the scam, like,
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: they're not going to accept help from anyone. Like, you know,
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: people get angry when you try and tell them.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Like, if it's a random Tuesday in, like, March, and
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: some guy's rolling in ordering $ 2, 000 worth of gift cards,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're right.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: There should be limits on this stuff.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Christmas time, maybe increase it to $ 500 or.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: $ 1, 000.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Maybe leave it at the limit of $ 500. And if
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: he's ordering, like, six of them, like, where's this going? Again,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: you know, are you are you impeaching on privacy rights?
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: So so what are your like biggest like so how
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: are you trying to institute this into, you.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Know, help helping the elderly?
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Like what are some of your resources you have establishing
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: for them? Really?
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: Because this is kind of the beginning of the program.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: So right.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: Really like where i'm trying to be at is i
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: want to meet them where they are right in these
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: assisted living facilities in the community centers and senior centers
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: and just talk to them have those one-on-one conversations give
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: them a resource right so i do presentations um to
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: like in their tv rooms and you know in the
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: community rooms whatever it is and it'll go through like
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: Here's what you do. Like, you know, here's what might happen.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: Here's what you should do. And obviously there's questions. And
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: I'll sit with every single person that has questions. If
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: I don't have time to answer it, like, while I'm presenting,
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: I'll sit, you know, on the movie chairs, you know,
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: in the TV room and just talk to them for
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: as long as they need and give them my card after.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: Be like, hey, listen, if....
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: You have any questions, if you think, you know, anything
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: like this might be going on, just give me a text,
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: give me a call, whatever it is, I'm happy to help.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: And I'm not profiting off that.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Right, right.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: I've been offered, oh, you know, I'll pay you to help.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: No.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: Because that's part of, you know, what I'm offering these
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: facilities is like, I'll give, you know, them an outlet
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: to actually have no shame for like asking about this.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Because I get into like the behind the scenes and
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: they get interested. Right. And so it kind of replaces
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: the shame.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: What are some of the, uh, what are some of the, like,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: we just talked about a few, some of these scams,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: the gift cards and stuff. What are some other scams
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: you've run across in your experiences or, or, or types
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: of scams or, or, you know, raise your flag and say, Hey,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: I don't, you know, what, what, what would you recommend
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: to my mother right now?
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: I just spent, if she was listening.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: It's always, uh, kind of just never appeal to authority.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: Like kind of just, if you are getting, I mean,
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: I get calls once a week from people saying they're
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: with the police department. And if that is true, if
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: they're calling me from the police department, call non-emergency, Google
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: the non-emergency number. Um, if they say, you know, I'm
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: with the bank's fraud department, hang up, call, you know,
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: Google the number for the bank's fraud department. Like, Never
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: appeal to authority just because they say they are someone.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: You just gave me an idea.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: I would love to hear it.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: So if my mother lives in Springfield, Mass., I'm going
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: to tell her to put Springfield, Mass. police department number
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: in her phone so it comes up that way. And
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: if anyone calls her and they say they're from the
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: police department, she could ask which one.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: And if they say Springfield, well, that's not the number.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Goodbye. Something like to those lines.
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: But that's, you know, yeah, I read a lot about
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: that kind of scam, too. You know, like, I mean,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: the one I told you a little earlier, that's just
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: brazen knocking on someone's door.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: But they can say anything. And again, if they called
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: your son and he just said, hey, what's up?
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Are you, you know, so-and-so? Yes. Well, now you have yes.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: And yes can access a lot of stuff.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: When you AI that voice, because a lot of automated numbers, yes, yes,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: it's me, blah, blah, blah, and you get in.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: Voice keys.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, right, yeah, yeah.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: That's, that's, what worries me, what kills me about this
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: world is everyone is just trying to just, like, make
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: a buck off someone else's hard-earned life.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: Everyone's trying to get over on someone.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why?
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: The further up you go, the worse it gets.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: Like, If you're working an hourly job, like the same
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: amount of work you put in, I could work my absolute.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Hardest in an eight-hour shift.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: And the only person I'm making richer is my boss
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: who's making his boss richer.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: And it just goes up the chain. It almost feels
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: like a pyramid.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Scheme.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: I was just going to say, especially these, it's a
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: pyramid scheme. You ever see the movie Beekeeper?
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: I've been told to watch it a billion times.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: That's probably the first thing that people like. Because I
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: know exactly what you're talking about.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: That's the first thing people tell me to watch every
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: single time I hear it.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: You have to watch it. Watch it on the flight home.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: I might have to.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Seriously, listen.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: This movie came out not long after me and my
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: brother uncovered all this shit.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: And I'm home.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: And I just think it's a Jason Statham movie.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: It's going to be action. I'm fucking having a couple
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: cocktails on the couch. Yep. And it starts out like immediately.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to spoil it.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Obviously, you know, it's about scamming people. But I'm like, oh,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: my God. And it was just fucking just knowing what
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: my father went through. I felt like I was Statham
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: fucking kicking ass in this movie.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: I swear to God. I was texting my brother. He
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: watched it the next night. He's called me. Holy shit.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: That's what we just lived. I'm like, well, we didn't
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: kill people. But yeah, I wish I did.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: If I found them.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Fuck, man. But yeah, you got to watch it, dude.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: They're not wrong. I mean, that movie is fucking great.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: What is that stream?
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: That's my other issues. I'm always told, like, you should
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: watch this, this, this. I'm like, oh, what's that streaming on?
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: What's that streaming on?
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: What's that streaming on?
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: I'm like, fuck, I got to have 8 billion subscriptions.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Luckily, I have a friend that has a lot. I
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: steal a lot of his codes. Yep, that's it. Honestly, though, Jack,
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: I don't watch too much TV.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Me and my girl will get into a little show
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: here and there, but I'm working.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: I'm at the bar working, and it's sports. She hates it, but.

  Speaker 1: So the Bruins– she goes, when did the Celtics start?
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: I go, oh, they're starting in two weeks. And the Patriots,
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: I know they're off to a bad start, but they're
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: fucking every Sunday. But she's awesome. She tolerates it.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: As long as she's tolerating it and not.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: Well, now the girls don't need the TVs on. They've
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: got their phones. So she'll doom scroll for two hours
• 41:47

  Speaker 3: You're like killing time. I'm like cleaning shit I've never
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: cleaned before.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at my fantasy team a hundred times.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: I'm going to switch out some stupid fucking running back
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: for another stupid fucking running back.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to lose anyway.
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: I've made mistakes that way. I've made mistakes like swapping
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: out of pure boredom. Just like waiting for shit to start.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: You overthink it and you're like, oh, fuck, man.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: It gives me time.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: I guess. I don't know. Are you a gambler at all?
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: I know you're.
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: I just turned 21 and my plan– so I celebrated
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: my 21st in LA and my plan was bar then casino.
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: There's no casinos over there.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: There's no casinos in California?
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: In LA area because they have to.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: Be– It's only four hours to Vegas, right?
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: Only four hours. But I had to flight the next
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: day because I was coming here.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. I got you.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: I've driven from LA to Vegas at rush hour. It
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: took me 12 hours to get there.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah. That drive sucks. Oh, it's awful. I did that
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: drive like two, three months ago.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: We missed the flight to Vegas. So we go, let's
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: just fly to LA. We'll just rent a car and drive.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Worst decision I've ever made in my life for travel.
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: You had better luck just sitting in the airport. But
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: the day I came back, I was up to Mohegan.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: The day. Literally.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: Because that was the day of the Nor'easter, too.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's a good time to go up there. Yeah,
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: just sit inside the fucking.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm just going to sit up and.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Fucking tap the slots.
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: I put in, I want to say I put in
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: a hundred, I made 200 and I left.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: Good. I'm smart.
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: I get too scared because I get overzealous and then
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: I'm like.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: All right, like I was up there the weekend before.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: Now, back when I was like 25 working at Stonebridge, we'd,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: you know, make a nice boatload of money on a Friday,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Saturday night and we drive up after work like idiots
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: and we stay all night, get a room and sleep
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: the next day.
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: Yup.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: Um, But money was just loose, just fucking.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: $ 50, $ 100 hands, $ 200 hands.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Fuck it, fuck it, fuck it. Sometimes you win, sometimes
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: you lose.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Now I'm like peeling off and fucking putting a 20
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: in the machine and hope.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: Life changes. Houses, families, car payments, all that shit.
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: I started paying rent.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: I still love going up there, though. Oh, yeah.
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: I started paying rent, and then I'm like, all right,
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: I can't be.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: Doing all that. Right. You got to make sure. You
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: got to prioritize it. But it's fun, though.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: It's disposable income is the way the best. I mean,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: that's a whole– I've done shows on the whole gambling
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: thing now. I think it's the next pandemic. I just
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: think it's so easy to– It's so bad. It's just
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: so– now, is gambling legal in California on your phones?
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: Like can you go on FanDuel, DraftKings and all that?
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: It's legal actually at a younger age in– 18? Yeah,
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: it's 18 to do parlays. You can only do parlays.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Get the fuck out of here. Really? Yeah.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: Couldn't know why.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: Because parlays are losers. Oh, yeah.
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: The house is so much– I mean people win parlays.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong. But like it's a losing proposition.
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: The house always wins on those.
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: But like the second time I went to LA, I
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: was invited out to LA to help with this music festival,
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: Rolling Loud.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: And I brought my friends with me cause I was like,
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: you know what? Fuck it. We're all going to LA. Yeah.
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: And so we go and we found out that we
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: could do parlays there. So we're just fucking sitting there
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: watching basketball the whole time. And we're like, this is
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: fucking great. Cause we're like, we're 19 and 20 at
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: the time.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: So we're like, Oh, we can actually gamble here. Like,
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: this is great.
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: My 18th birthday, I woke up and, um, at maybe
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: 4 or 5 a.m., drove straight to Montreal.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, nice.
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: Straight to Montreal because their gambling age is 18. Their
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: drinking age is 18. So that was the place to go.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And yet you're on day drinking with
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: Dog and you haven't had a drink yet.
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: Not yet.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: All right.

• 47:37
  Speaker 2: It's getting light, but I got stuff in there for you.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: I have to.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll definitely have one before you leave.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: He's like, this kid's going to New Haven tonight. Oh,
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: my God. You would have loved New Haven when I
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: was your age.

  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sure.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: It was so much better. New Haven's garbage now. No,
• 47:52

• 48:05
  Speaker 3: like in New Haven now.

• 51:20
  Speaker 1: you know, looking out, like what to look for, you know,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: the pitfalls of trying to avoid getting scammed. And, you know, it's...
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: It's evolving, too. I think it's like anything else. It's
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: like being a police. You got to stay ahead of
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: the criminal. You got to know their next step. What
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: are they going to do now? Now with AI, and
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: they'll be on top of this shit, they're going to
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: figure shit out.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: I haven't been scammed, but I've had my identity stolen.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: And that was just swiping a car to the gas station,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: driving across country to fucking your spot, LA.
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: We did a whole cross-country trip. We took 10 days.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: By the time I got home, well, we drove out,
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: flew back. When I got home, three days later, I
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: had Capital One credit cards.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: In my fucking mailbox. I'm like, I didn't fucking apply
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: for these.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Luckily, I had a really dumb fucking guy that didn't
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: know to fucking... I guess send them to him or whatever.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh, so I didn't get like, I didn't lose money,
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: but I, it was just a hassle.
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: Like, especially cause that gets reported on your credit. Right.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, my credit's tanked and it was like two years
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: and it was like, this fucking sucks.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: You gotta go back and forth with the credit bureaus.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: But it's the same shit. I got scammed.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: You know, I got scammed by somebody putting a reader
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: in a fucking gas station. Like they, they will try anything.
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: It's the exact same.
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: It's no different than like someone, you know, telling you
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: that you can pay your light bill with a gift card.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Like, right, right.
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: It's a scam.
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: Someone's trying to use, you know, whatever you have, whatever
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: methods they have to just get over on you. And
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: like I teach stuff like that. I mean, I also
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: do I call it social media essentials. Just teaching like
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: because now like like we're talking about, like everyone's on

  Speaker 4: Um, I mostly don't unless I need it for like content,
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: like website, anything like that. Just because I try and
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: protect like, every assisted living facility is a medical facility.
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of like, you know, I'm not saying
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: film the people.
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of like that goes on there.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Yep.

  Speaker 4: So like you want to protect identities and like stuff
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: like that.

  Speaker 3: Like, you know, some people have like, you know, shit
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: going on.
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: So I try my best, like my first ever one,
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: I ran in with, um, a videographer and basically all
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: I told her was like, please try and focus on me.
• 55:48
  Speaker 4: And like, at, you know, the very most, if someone's talking,
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: you can, you know, but like, then you also got
• 55:54
  Speaker 4: to go through the whole hassle of signing releases and
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: stuff like that. And like, I don't want to take
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: advantage of anyone. Cause like, it's the same thing. Not
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: everyone there has it all together. You know, I don't
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: want someone signing something, not knowing what it is. And like, if,
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: you know, family member sees it, they're like, why the
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: fuck is grandpa on six o'clock news? And like, you know,
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: so typically I try and film it, but like only
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: like you on me, not on stage, but you know
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: what I mean?
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: Talking to everybody. Yeah.

  Speaker 4: Yeah no so um you could find me at enterprise
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: innovations that's the company um so it's at ei affiliates

• 56:59
  Speaker 4: first uh building like computers and stuff and then we
• 57:02

• 57:06
  Speaker 4: know i'll get into that later but um it's called
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: at EI affiliates because I knew that after the rebrand,
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: I just wanted to go into something else.
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: You know?

  Speaker 4: to get right now is I'm trying to get local

  Speaker 4: And I don't want, you know, someone to not go
• 58:23

• 58:25
  Speaker 4: the same time, I can't run the program off, you.

  Speaker 2: Know, my own money.
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: You have to, you know, so I have to, you know,
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: someone's got to pay for it.
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: And my whole thing right now is now I I'm
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: looking for, companies to come in and, like, I'll, you know,
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: putting their logos on stuff.
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: I'll hand out, you know, pens with.
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: The logo on it, whatever it is.
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: Whatever it is that will get them to, you know,
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: pay the fee on behalf of the facility.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: So that, like, they don't have to pay for it

  Speaker 4: and they just get, you know, this free information.
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: They cover my fee. They get the branding, and it's
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: a full circle.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: Right. And you follow up. If somebody has a concern,
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: your door is open. You don't charge them. And you
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: direct them through, right?
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: The individual, I mean. The individual, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: They have a question.
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: I set up this one older gentleman, his email, because
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: he had a phone, but nothing was connected to it.
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know exactly what he was doing on it.
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: Right.

• 59:27
  Speaker 4: email connected to it.
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: He didn't have like.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: That's probably the safest phone there is.
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: That's what I was thinking. I was like, you know what?
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: I actually probably shouldn't be doing this. How are you

  Speaker 1: Back in the day, when texting started, I was like,
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: they should just make a phone that just texts.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: No calls. Just text. That's it.
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: That would have been the safest thing.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: You can't link your phone or your bank account to it. Nothing.
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: Just text. Just text. Just text. If you really want

• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: season starts and you start to lose right away, right?
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, just don't fucking win any games. When

• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: fucking monsoon game, giant stadium.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: The portalettes are flying through the parking lot. It was
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: fucking insane.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: There's like seven cars there.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: You could have gotten the best seats ever, and you
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: go out and win a 12-9 game or.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: 12-6 or whatever the fuck it was.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: All thanks to the kicker.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: This could be one of those games at the end
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: of the year when you're like, the season's lost. Why
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: the hell did we win that game?
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: That's exactly what I was thinking.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: But it's only week three, so it's like, all right,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: who do you guys got this week?
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: I don't even know. I haven't even looked.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: I've been so invested in the MLB postseason, I've completely just.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: No, you've been invested in going out in New Haven.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: I'm invested in going out in New Haven.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: I get it. Hold on.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: Let me pick this up again. I should have been prepared, too.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: All right, Sunday. We got.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: Obviously, the Patriots are playing at Buffalo, so we're going
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: to be not good.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: But you know what?
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: I actually said when we lost last week, I said,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: I think Buffalo's the best team we could face right
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: now because, oh, Cardinals at home.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: You might win that game.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: That's better than I thought.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the weather's supposed to be nice, I think, on Sunday.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: It's supposed to be 82 tomorrow. Oh, you're flying home.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: It's going to be fucking 90.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: What am I thinking?
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: I love guys that love sports that come out here.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: I don't get them a lot for whatever reason, but
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: you're actually very knowledgeable for your age.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: It's going to be 100.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: 100? 100 at home? With smog. Oh, yeah.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: What's your prediction this year? You've got three weeks to absorb.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: Who are the frontrunners in the Super Bowl, and who
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: wins it all?
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: It's tough.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: I think it's wide open.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: It usually is now for whatever reason, but KC's back.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: Buffalo looks great. They looked bad last week. The Rams,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: what's going on with them? The Rams– Seattle just lost
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: to a shitty team.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: Like what's going on?
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 4: I feel like the Rams like have– get a lot
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 4: more credit than they deserve honestly.
