Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to guys, a podcast about guys. I'm Brian and your ADT security agent. Chris James is here. Hi, Chris. Okay. Yeah. They're bad. Okay. They are bad. Listen, I went to Trust Pilot to read about ADT. They have 4,000 reviews, score 1.4. Out of what? That's very low on trust. I think that might even be lower than our rating on Trust Pilot. We have a very low rating on Trust Pilot. We honestly do. If you go to the Geysery on Trust Pilot, you will see. I think we might have 2.1 out of five or something. Oh, no way. If we're better than ADT, that is, because we're telling people to give us a bad review. We actually, yeah, we told people to give bad reviews. So you can go there and there's some nasty reviews. But I genuinely think we have a higher rating than ADT.
Starting point is 00:01:18 It's 1.2, by the way. I said 1.4. It's actually 1.2. 100% were higher than 1.2. And our guests this week, Dan O'Sullivan. Hi, Dan. Hey, guys. How's it going?
Starting point is 00:01:30 Listen, I had one, I had something for the topic. I believe ADT was the security company that employed the BTK killer. Oh, cool. That makes sense. That, what I'll say is it seems to me. Yeah, it's not that. I mean, it's like, you can't fault people. We employed a serial killer here at one point as a producer.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Sorry? right we employed a serial killer here as a producer green river killer we did not use the green river killer we did we use the green river killer he did the pre-interview stuff i remember gary right his name it's a different guy i swear i always have to he he looks like him i know he looks like him it's not the same guy but no but then i realized halfway through the pre-interview like he was in prison like i heard clanging bars and yeah yeah our producers in prison his name's gary and he looks a lot like the Green River killer, but it is a different guy. And the stuff he's in for is like it's nonviolent stuff. But you know, speaking on that topic, I actually tried to contact the producer of
Starting point is 00:02:38 the full send podcast with the Nelk Boys. That was the whole thing I was doing. I was, because they had Benjamin Netanyahu on. I was calling it. And we're having him on certain two main episodes. Congrats. You got him? He's doing a big push right now. Yeah. And yeah. And so I, I called, I was calling the producer to see as a representative of Gary Ridgeway to see if the knellk boys would like to have him on that he had some funny stories and everything. So that's really interesting, Brian, that you just randomly happen to bring up Gary Ridgeway, you know. I just hear that, because this episode wasn't going to be true crime guys, but as you start to
Starting point is 00:03:15 put that episode together, you realize, oh, it just be making fun of people that got murdered. Yeah. I mean, like the way in, the way in. the way into goofing on them is then going to somebody's murder and being like, that's great. So I was like, I don't know, man. That's less fun than security guys,
Starting point is 00:03:37 which I made an amalgamation. Like sometimes I say, oh, we want to, we want a narrow focus. For security guys, I went more wide focus, right? So we got security guards this episode. We have home security guys this episode. we have bouncers this episode. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Bouncers are cool. Okay. This just stepped up in my books as far as the quality of the episode when you mentioned the term bouncer. I will say I think that true crime people, like the people who are obsessed with true crime, they have the channels and they're like, you know, they're hounding people who they think. You know what I mean? Like that level of it. They're absolute freaks. And you could find tons of stuff about them obviously to make.
Starting point is 00:04:23 make fun of. But yeah, Brian, you're right. I think what you're saying is in order to do that, we're having to also sort of bring up these murders and these things with victims. And then we're sort of making fun of the whole thing. And it just, yeah, we don't really want that. I mean, what I, so as you know, I do have a crime podcast coming out that I'm promoting, right? And it's the outfit podcast. It premieres August 15th. And every story, every episode is a different organized crime story and how it sort of explains the world, explains America. And like, something that we've tried to do with it is to be, like, have it be a, you know, a history podcast and like about, you know, broader stuff, you know, going on in the world. So like how Al Capone is
Starting point is 00:05:10 a archetypal American or, you know, this guy. 9-11. And then you were- How 9-11 happened. And you told me that you were, yeah, you were like thinking it would be cool to sort of contact a lot of the distant relatives of Al Capone and really sort of harassed them about the history of their, right? That's what you were telling me that you thought it would be cool to sort of. Well, we can talk offline, Chris, but that was where I was thinking you would come in. Well, you were, yeah, you were saying that it might be a fun part of the podcast to find some of the victims and harassed them as well. But you raise a good point, which is, I remember like, look, I love true, I love true crime like books and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:05:50 not, you know, I watch the shows and, but, but I prefer scams and grifts. Yeah. And stuff like that over. I would, I could do without murder. I like robberies and heists and scams and grits. I think that a lot of people enjoy true crime. And I think that that's a natural sort of thing for human beings to be fascinated by that. But yeah, I think obviously all the jokes aside, I think we're all in agreement on it is, yeah, where it, where it jumps the line is when you start involving your.
Starting point is 00:06:20 self in the investigations. That's it. There's a selfishness to that. Like, you know, like in cold blood by Truman Capote is a terrible book. It's all about him. And he made it all up. And that sort of set a mold, I think, of like how people approach it in a way that I, but I will say like my fat, I love the murder stuff.
Starting point is 00:06:43 I love all that shit. But I always think of like something Steve Coogan said where Steve Coogan loves fancy cars. And he said, but I noticed that everyone else who loves fancy sports cars like I do is an asshole. So am I an asshole, too? You know, like, so anyway, with this podcast, hopefully we're, I think that we're doing it in a tasteful way and, and an hopefully interesting way. Also, I think organized crime is a little different. Of course. I could not do serious.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Organized crime is a completely different, not to, you know, now it just. sort of seems like, oh, we're defending Dan. We don't need to. We don't need to. And Dan, you guys know, if you listen to Dan on the episode, you would know that that's a case. But yeah, it is obviously different. These are people who are like, hey, what I'm choosing to do with my life is crime.
Starting point is 00:07:34 And, you know, it's like that kind of comes along with it, that there are people are going to be writing about it and investigating it and that type of stuff. Yeah, these are not just innocent people who are being thrust into this or whatever. And we talk about, you know, real victims and stuff, but it's a funny show. it's darkly funny and I hope you guys check it out when it premieres. Well, I won't be. I will not be listening but yeah, I think some people...
Starting point is 00:07:56 We don't like funny stuff. We don't like funny. We, we listen to pretty serious podcasts usually. But yeah, check it out if you're into humor, humor podcast. Okay, so this first thing I found security guards are funny because they're kind of stupid. I hope not too funny.
Starting point is 00:08:16 They're stupid. Yeah. They seem very stupid to me. you know what I mean like in a real way now I want to preface this episode by one thing I was extremely impressed by the security guards mostly because they are that that concentration camp in the Everglades right they call it Alligator Alcatraz they're trying to get people to work there and a lot of people are like I refuse to work there now one reason is the pay is bad. So that's not something to look up at them for. One reason is because you have to live there. Fairly compensated for your work. That's, you know. Yeah. Dude, $24 an hour, 12 hours a day,
Starting point is 00:09:03 and you have to live there in a tent. I mean, you're a prisoner too. Yeah. In a way, in a very serious way, you are also a prisoner. Yeah, you can't leave, right? You're. So a lot of them are like, I'm not going to do it. It doesn't pay enough. And then some of them are like, I'm not going to do it because if something happens, then we'll be the first one thrown under the bus. That's, which is smart.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Good foresight. Yeah, to at least recognize it. Like, hey, wait a second. So we're going to be the guys out on the front lines of this thing. Maybe that's, yeah,
Starting point is 00:09:37 that's, yeah. But then there are really a decent amount of guys who are like, this is unethical. I don't want to do it. And I was like, oh, I thought they were all going to be like,
Starting point is 00:09:48 I'll fucking do it I'll do it for $70 an hour in a second Which some of them did say They should be paying you about 90 to 100 an hour And then they would do it Yeah that's yeah I mean listen There's ethics There's ethics but at some point
Starting point is 00:10:02 You got it when the you know When they fat in your wallet to a certain level You got to toss your ethics out obviously A lot of these A lot of these guys did security at prisons In like Iraq and Afghanistan And stuff like that They're just like you do
Starting point is 00:10:15 You do not want to do this You know what I? I mean, it's very dangerous. So this security guard, so I was impressed by. I just want to say that to me, I feel like one thing about security guards, maybe not the ones we're going to see posting because I think they're the enthusiastic. But I think a lot of the times people are working as a security guard, they don't, they're not saying this is a job I want to do.
Starting point is 00:10:37 It's a great job. But a lot of people are just saying this is a job I'm able to get. You know what I'm saying? Like I don't think it's a one that people are sometimes. Whereas with like lost prevention officers, I feel like the. more of them are like, I want to do this because it's like a police officer, whereas there's going to be some security guards like that, but like I know people who work in security.
Starting point is 00:10:57 And they weren't like, I don't want to, they weren't police types, I will say, you know? They were, yeah. I forgot. I applied for a job once as a security guard at an art museum back in Portland, Maine, where it was like a night shift job. I just needed a job. And like, I thought that sounded awesome. Like, you know.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Yeah. Just being, I mean, you know, the night of the museum had probably just come out, I would imagine. If, I mean, I was, I will admit, I was very amped, uh, night of the museum two was coming out. I thought. Okay, I see. What if a little Roman soldier or a little Robin Williams, Teddy Roosevelt? You know, it's not going to happen, but. Do I know that?
Starting point is 00:11:41 Exactly. That's what I'm- Imagine the things you can learn and you're a history guide. I mean, you could learn so much. It actually does sound like a kind of like at a, at a museum or whatever on the night shift. It's like a classic from the movies kind of job. Wait, wait, did I just, did I just hear something? Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Starting point is 00:11:59 And that's all you need for it to be kind of like cool. And then you're walking around this kind of cool place and yeah. Is that Dick Van Dyke? Yeah, yeah. I would put security guard at number three of dream jobs if this didn't work out for me. number one truck driver cross country truck always wanted to be a truck driver
Starting point is 00:12:20 I looked about two years ago I got a wild hair at my ass about getting a CDL license and going you know yeah and then I was like driving truck grow up you know you're not you're not that kind of man
Starting point is 00:12:35 you're just not you know it's it is a type of man for sure because if you're doing that all the time you don't really have a home base you know you're just like an old school rolling stone you really think you would like to do that brian but everybody at the rest areas all at the at the like truck stops knows you you're like yeah yeah yeah yeah you go back to quiver you probably would say brian um i think it would sound cooler if it's like a lot of the a lot of the gas stations have like a little room with a couch
Starting point is 00:13:05 where you can watch tv you can take showers there and you're seeing everything now the number two job for me is now this is a business owner small business owner of course laundromat owner I'd love to own a laundromat because it seems like passive income to me yeah it seems so like like you don't really have to do anything you got to go in there I don't know about that I think yeah I think you might be I think there's places that have left yeah there's there's a lot of issues think of you have a bunch of washers and dryers like industrial and people you're not controlling what people put into those either or how they use them so they're often probably possibly using them incorrectly I would say there's quite a few issues at a laundromat right and sorry to say but then number three
Starting point is 00:14:00 security guard because and this even this might have pushed this up to number two because guys are just playing Xbox dude and sleeping like at night So many guys play Xbox And I read one guy Who owns a company He was like, we encourage our guys to play Xbox We encourage them to do stuff Because it keeps them alert
Starting point is 00:14:23 They're awake, they're alert Versus like if you don't let them play the Xbox We found they just they gnawed off Pretty quickly so you gotta let them The Xbox is similar to a toddler Or something like that But yeah I
Starting point is 00:14:37 I guess that is So your job that you're looking for Brian is a job you don't want to have a job minimal amount of work i mean such a minimal amount of work i mean truck driving isn't easy i'll say this i don't want people to go around thinking i think i think truck driving's easy i'm saying get out there on the fucking open road dude you're out there it depends too delivering stuff if you're doing it depends on what kind of truck driving because i've worked over the road is what i've worked in in warehouses and stuff like that and if you're yeah you're doing like but still if you have to do any of that unloading like offloading any of the stuff or like
Starting point is 00:15:13 no i don't want to do that i wouldn't because that is that is hard work and a lot of truck drivers do that right they're going constantly from place to place and they're helping to offload stuff and there's like a lot of work at the actual warehouse can i tell you my nightmare on that though is you ever see a truck driver reverse back up the the truck and the trailer to a loading dock yeah and you see that and you go there's no fucking way i mean I think I'm a pretty good driver. There's no fucking way. I could ever get that down.
Starting point is 00:15:42 I used to think that all the, I worked at many warehouses when I was younger. And I used to fucking think that all the time. It would actually like give me a level of anxiety watching them with these big 50 foot trailers or whatever. And they're all doing it in like these small little, yeah, it would, it would, it would fuck with me. That's the hard part. That is the hard part. Absolutely. maneuvering those gigantic trailers in those times.
Starting point is 00:16:07 And sometimes you're having to do a delivery in a. city or something like that you see those big trucks in the city that i've talked about it on the podcast before that gives that is my worst nightmare is like driving a big gigantic truck that is too big for the space that you're driving it in like or a big bus downtown anything like that it just it gives me my horrible feelings my father uh after he retired from the phone company got a job driving the bus from portland main to boston yeah um and had that experience brian of like sleeping in the little apartment for the bus drivers, which was actually pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Yeah, play video games, watch movies? You could. You just keep dreaming about playing video games. You don't even play video games, right? No, he will, you know. I will if I get this job. But the hard part was that obviously the journey terminates in Boston, going to Logan Airport, and then South Station.
Starting point is 00:17:07 and the two things on that are one Boston drivers Massachusetts drivers worst in the country don't know if you're aware of that Chris but no I didn't know that worst in the country and second the driving in Boston is horrific like everyone gives the West Coast shit for for driving no no no the Northeast is the bad area and so he was having it sucks because the speed limits are stricter and stuff there too the cities are both different I mean they're on grids that are old and the highways are old, but sorry, where are you going to say, Chris? Oh, I was going to say that we better let Brian get to some of the security guard. It's okay, it's okay, but people will send a lot of really hateful messages,
Starting point is 00:17:50 really serious, threatening hateful messages to us if we don't immediately get to the topic. Written up for practicing martial arts in an empty lot with no personnel around. So I've been a security. but it's one of my favorite opening posts that's exactly like exactly what you would think a security guard would be doing I couldn't believe how how accurate this seemed uh so I've been a security guard for about three years and I'm being written up because I practiced martial arts a few times at my site why is this not acceptable like LMAO at least I wasn't fucking sleeping I still do my damn job and tours they really just expect you to sit there when you're
Starting point is 00:18:34 when you're not touring and view cameras till your eyes bleed would y'all say that I should expect to be terminated from the site and fired permanently so this is exactly what you would think they'd be due I would say you would expect to be fired if you continue to do the thing that they wrote you up
Starting point is 00:18:50 for I think that's how it works it's usually like a three strikes kind of thing or whatever but I would I don't know for sure I mean who knows the situation but I would guess that they we got a former supervisor answers the question they don't want them doing that maybe because it's like customers or like it might I don't know where this is but it just like it just kind of it doesn't look good it's it's it's alarming to people
Starting point is 00:19:12 or it's weird can I give a take on this yeah I feel like there's a part of the story we're not getting yeah yeah always yeah he's doing something he's doing something like weird because there was a guy I was reading because they were talking about like the guys at the bank right that just have to stand there. They're not supposed to have a headphone in their ear. They literally just stand there and look at people. And they're like, what do you do? And one of the guys was like, I do a little bit of yoga. The customers like it. And I'm like, do they like it? Like I don't like I guess it's like whatever. It's not, but it is a little, it's peculiar. It's like if you came in and you see the security guard and they're doing activities or whatever of any kind. It is, it is peculiar, I think.
Starting point is 00:19:59 you know it's just weird it's not bad I'm not saying doing yoga is bad it doesn't stop you from doing your security might it depends on what like poses you're doing or whatever you might I think it's standing yoga not he wasn't like doing downward dog but like you know what I mean if you're in a pop up
Starting point is 00:20:14 and stop a robbery you do need to be ready to do your job if if it comes to it I guess well so I was a former bank teller and the thing that strikes me as that's a weird one in that the purpose of that security guard is not actually to do anything.
Starting point is 00:20:33 It's weird. It's just to do- Security theater, right? And it is just to deter the robber who could come in. Yeah. He sees them and he's like, I'm not going to do it. Because what we were trained as for tellers is if you see someone, and I saw my manager do this once, it was fucking awesome.
Starting point is 00:20:49 If you see someone come in that you suspect is going to rob the bank, and she recognized this guy as having robbed her in the past, you just engage them with conversation from the door. and it scares them off and that's exactly what happened so so I do have to admit I wonder if a security guard
Starting point is 00:21:07 doing yoga is like the opposite of that where it's like come on in you know oh yeah like if you're walking out yeah you're outside and you're like I'm going to rob this fucking place and you look inside you're like oh shit security guard and you're like wait a second security guard doing yoga like this seems
Starting point is 00:21:24 like I can actually still rob it I think I should do it right now Yeah, I think this is a time to do it. Yeah, yeah. Right. And that's the way you think, too, if you're going to, whatever, rob or vandalize a warehouse, and you pull up and as security guards in the parking lot, practicing martial arts. Well, that might be, that might be different.
Starting point is 00:21:42 That might be different because maybe you're like, oh, this guy is a martial artist. Maybe I actually don't want to mess with this guy at all. I don't know. So the supervisor replies and goes, as a former supervisor, I can shed some light onto this. This is really good because this gets you into the mind of the real security guy. It's embarrassing. It looks immature. It's unprofessional.
Starting point is 00:22:04 It makes it seem as though you're not doing your job. Now, most of the replies to this are like, you're the type of guy that makes us look bad. Yeah. Like, that's the anger about him doing the karate. It's like, this is what you would expect the security guard to do. We're actually tougher than that. You know what I mean? We don't just do karate, you know?
Starting point is 00:22:24 perception and i think another thing that we're not seeing is that these are contracts right so like the company is contracted to do something on the site and if somebody that runs the site it's like this guy's out there practicing correct like like i think of them breaking boards and stuff like that well i you would hope he's not breaking board i would hope that he's just doing shadow type stuff or he's not hitting anything He's breaking boards. I was picturing nunchucks for some reason. If he's breaking boards, then he deserves to be written up for sure.
Starting point is 00:23:02 I feel like then he's causing a scene. You know, he's making noise. He's like, well, it's not their boards. He brings his own board. Okay. He always brought, he's got his own,
Starting point is 00:23:13 like, special boards. Every day he brings a bunch of boards and milk bottles and, like, concrete blocks. Listen to this one. Listen to this guy. He goes, caught night shift sleeping signed it at eight a m night shift guy was passed out i was able to walk right up to the guy and tap him on the shoulder to wake him up good thing i wasn't a bad guy oh yeah
Starting point is 00:23:35 the classic that's a lot a bad guy just coming up with like a security guard throat slit you know yeah and he was asleep he'd go up behind me he slipped my fucking damn this guy goes at a previous graveyard side i was at a guard would show up with his RV and his kid. That's funny. Listen, you're there all night and nothing's ever happening. Yeah, I guess like, listen, if as Dan said, and I think you're right, Dan, and is that a lot of it is security theater, which is like a concept a lot of people
Starting point is 00:24:13 know, and it's, you know, you don't have to actually be doing something. You just have to be there. And in that case, if you're there with your RV and your kid and you're barbecuing out back or making a big scene there i mean that's gonna keep people away from yeah it's like oh i'm not gonna go to that site and try to steal you know lumber from it or whatever because let's be a work picnic there's some sort of work picnic going on there yeah in the middle of the night for some reason some sort of a night uh you know one of those team building exercises or whatever listen to this one i worked for a security company where i got where i caught red handed the dude sleeping owner didn't
Starting point is 00:24:53 give two shits literally parked his truck at the gate two years later uh this guy's not employed there he goes dude enters the bar i worked at from the same company refuses to cover up his uniform had a few beers took off every hour to go back to work i immediately reported the company and the worker to the security overlords along with the company they are contracted for to do the safety that's so cool f them honestly though it's that's so cool to contact everybody involved that guy's just like that's so cool you gotta make sure somebody's getting in trouble what the what the fuck is that guy's problem he's an aggressive he's an aggressive tattle tail he's a yeah he's an aggressive tattle why does he care that the guy's not covering his uniform oh because no i don't
Starting point is 00:25:40 think that's i think because he doesn't no no i think what he's saying is that this guy's clearly drinking on the job he's not even bothering to hide the fact that he's drinking on the job i think that's what he was saying by not but but he could be off work like well i remember that it says refuse to cover up by the way it doesn't say he's a bike or something like wait we can't have those colors in here you know we have garter world security in here sorry this is uh whatever one of the other one of the guys from brinks sees him and breaks a pool cube right the fucking guy the bouncer at the door is just like you're making all of us look bad are you kidding me man i'm fucking a d t guys in the corner you're gonna wander in here
Starting point is 00:26:23 wearing that shit like cover it up drinking beer you got a ride to wear that brother yeah i can't believe he told on the guy somebody calls him a snitch employment papers brother yeah yeah i this guy goes i've heard it's best to shake the foot of a sleeping person others have a violent reaction to be roused and a guy goes these are that's just classic security shit you know they're just like yeah it's the security guard thing you shake his foot yeah otherwise you imagine imagine waking up at your job to find a guy you work with holding your foot but that he's sneaking into the room to shake your foot like oh no it's because it's because if you if you like nests on my there you're like sometimes they do that i think that's the idea you're
Starting point is 00:27:12 supposed to like stay away i have heard that before definitely but what if they kick you anyways i don't know i have heard that for sure yeah yeah uh uh So let's take a look at a guy that I did find, I think. We're all going to check in with this guy. This is a man talk. And he's a bouncer. And he asks a really good question. Do bouncer get the girls?
Starting point is 00:27:41 It's not a question, though. It's an exclamation. There's no question mark at the end. I don't think he understands that. Yeah. I don't think he knows punctuation. Do bouncer get the girls? man talk do bouncers get the girls
Starting point is 00:27:54 i would say he also did man talk yeah as an exclamation traditionally i think it's thought that maybe like bartenders perhaps would you know have more i mean bar bouncers are hunkier well you know but i don't know they're jacked up i don't know if they're hunkier they're
Starting point is 00:28:11 well well hold on a second one of my favorite movies ever is roadhouse of course and dalton the jillin hall is so good in it well oh what you like can we get real you like oh you like Connor McGregor in it
Starting point is 00:28:24 well he was good too but I think Jill and Hall carried the film Brian and I love that remake so don't even don't even talk shit we love the way that the punching looks
Starting point is 00:28:34 I didn't say anything I'm talking a look on your face you're like oh the original so much better like no I haven't seen the new one but come on
Starting point is 00:28:43 are you wait wait are you saying that the remake is better yes I'm I am saying it's better I've seen both of them It's not even close. It's not even in the ballpark.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Connor McGregor is a star. For me, it's, I think new stuff is better. Yeah. No. That's mainly my philosophy on everything. The new thing is better. I promised Tom Sharpling, I would stop lying on the podcast all the time. So I will admit that the original roadhouse is obviously better.
Starting point is 00:29:11 But I did like the new one as well. It was like, it was like, it was really stupid and the fighting looked so fake and it was like all sped up and ship. But for whatever reason. and I loved it. And Brian and I both said, everyone, we're like, I want a million sequels in this world. I just want to watch movies in this world.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Yeah. Well, I think they are making one. Yeah, I hope so. Good. Let's look into man talk here. All right, all right, guys, welcome bats whenever. Okay, hang on a second. Hang on a second.
Starting point is 00:29:38 He's not quite as, listen, I'm not saying he's not strong looking, but he's, I thought he'd be more. He looks really strong to me. He looks a little bit like, he's a little bit not,
Starting point is 00:29:48 he doesn't have definitions so much. But I guess that's kind of a balancer. That's kind of a bouncer look. Well, I would say I was startled by the shirtlessness, which is not, I would say is not something you want to say about someone who, like, if you see a shirtless guy, you go, well, that makes sense. You don't want to be like, I'm surprised you went with that, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Yeah. Right. Yeah. I feel like he has one of those bodies that if he was wearing a shirt that was a little bit tight, he would look like he was better than he looked. with a shirt off like right yeah and i hate to tell you this but all of his videos are shirtless so we will never see him with he he looks he looks good but he looks he's in fine shape he's not in bad shape but he looks strong he definitely looks strong he looks strong man strong strong but he also
Starting point is 00:30:38 looks like there was a fire alarm at night and he just had to get outside yeah he's got a very he's also got a very small head compared to his body I don't want to say it but it's alarming how small his head is a part of our man talk series this is related to our over video
Starting point is 00:30:58 bouncers now check it out if you haven't already watched it because it gives you a background to the bouncers but this is all about bouncer and girls as it always happens of course girls throw themselves at bouncers well do you hear that I think because you can get you girls throw themselves
Starting point is 00:31:14 Like in order to get into the establishment, are we talking here? Because you would be the person who would allow them to get into the establishment. Bouncer culture, I think, is a lot different in the UK. I'm not that familiar with it, but I know that I think that they're thought of it a little bit like a different way than they are American. They get a license. Yeah, like they're like, it's a more respected job, I think. I could be wrong, but I think that it's considered more respected there.
Starting point is 00:31:40 I think it's more respected in that the bouncer is the person's, standing between the English person and alcohol. And I got to say... So it's a more important job. Last time I was in England, everyone shits on Ireland for drinking. Ooh, boy. Oh, no, people shit on England for their drinking as well. It's just that I think I...
Starting point is 00:32:00 I mean, shit on Ireland and Scotland and everyone else. And it's like, take a look at yourself, you know? Yeah. I mean, a lot of the people in England are Scottish and Irish as well. I you know I say that and I remember I was walking out of my hotel the last day and there was a drunk guy causing a scene in the morning and I'm not going to mention which of those countries he's from but it was it was like really you're making you're making us all look bad here but yeah I mean listen speaking of road house Connor McGregor I the sequel I don't know he doesn't seem to be
Starting point is 00:32:36 doing too well these days I saw a photo of him like meeting Trump and I he's getting that bloat that you only get one way, you know? Oh, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I mean, his brother-in-law is one of the most notorious cocaine dealers in Ireland. A kid of hands. Yeah, who knows? While we're looking at man talk, I will say, what drives you nuts working as a bouncer?
Starting point is 00:32:59 I'll start. Anyone who wants to finish a drink after being told 15 minutes prior to finish up and leave. I hate you, and I completely enjoy that you are upset at not being able to finish your drink now. I also I get that though I feel like that's reasonable right I mean dealing with drunk people listen they're going to be annoying they're going to be annoying no doubt you're going to be about like being a bouncer would be one of the most annoying jobs you could ever have so it's kind of good that these kind of guys who are kind of
Starting point is 00:33:30 like you know like sort of meat sort of dudes it's like yeah like yeah they're the kind of ones to deal with that I feel like they're best equipped to deal with that kind of annoyance. Let's check back in with man talk. Now that is an unurban myth. People say, oh, you know, as a bouncer, do you get lot of girls? Yes, you do. It's one of the perks of the job. You may only get paid
Starting point is 00:33:50 10 pound an hour, but you do get it more in the other side of things. You get paid $10 an hour, but you also get to fuck women. So that's nice. That's one of the benefits. They write that on the job listing. Or $10 an hour must be licensed. We'll get
Starting point is 00:34:06 a ton of fucking trim. This is how he dated Kate Middleton before she went on to Or what's her name? What's the, Megan Markle? Yeah, we would, if we were going to make a reference to one of the Royals, we would go with Markle due to the Mike Zero. Are you familiar with Mike Zero, Dan?
Starting point is 00:34:25 Are you a fan of Mike Zero? Tell me. No, no, no. Impossible to explain to people. It's almost impossible. He's a guy that's very obsessed with like a certain part of show business. Did you ever watch Opium? Anthony, listen to Opin Anthony rather, because
Starting point is 00:34:40 that's not going to help at all. He was not a fan, but I'm aware of it. He was an intern simple Mike on there who people just recently realized it's the same guy. I'm getting the picture here. Oh, no, he's not, he's not he's, anyway, again, it's impossible to explain it. You just got to just check
Starting point is 00:34:56 him out. He's one of our favorite channels. All right. Listen to this one. Listen to this one. My club does a pat down at the door for guys. Anyone who has stood in line for the last half hour watching everyone with something between their legs get touched. Suddenly can't understand to take anything out of your pockets and turn around and put your arms out a little. The amount of people that prefer getting rejected instead of having
Starting point is 00:35:17 to do what literally every single person has to do all night for, I don't know how long, because it's not a new rule. It's awful. Do you want to drink in this club? Follow the fucking rules, man. We have like five other bars that aren't even a full minute away walking and they don't do pat downs there. That's insane to do pat downs. Well, yeah. I guess, though, I don't know. I kind of can understand that one too, right? Because the flip side is, all right, if you let a weapon get into the bar and someone uses it, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Like, you're going to get sued, right? I would think they- The bouncer code would prevent that from happening. They probably do pat-downs at a place because they've had, like they said, other places don't do it. It's probably because they had an incident, I would guess. And then now they're like, well, we can't take chance. Or maybe it attracts a certain element where.
Starting point is 00:36:06 Yeah, there's definitely some. there's some places in Vancouver that were like, yeah, where you would have to have added security where you're going to the number five orange, the strip club in the East Vancouver, because it was a big time biker bar, you know, place. And so, yeah, they didn't want people to bring in weapons or whatever. Yeah, yeah. Well, this, this guy says something interesting that bothers him. Women who show me their boobs thinking they can come in for free when they realize they still
Starting point is 00:36:37 have to pay they instantly become evil witches i mean you don't want to deal with an evil it would hurt your feelings a lot though if you showed your boobs to the security and he's like yeah that that would be 15 pounds please or you don't get in i show my titties to you and you still made me way to half hour it is demeaning i guess because you're in a way demeaning yourself on some level to try to get in and then if it's if they're like yeah that doesn't impress me enough to get you in that that would hurt my feelings and i can understand why they would become evil witches that's why mantog never puts his shirt on he just forecloses on that yeah all together you know i'll just check back to him which was like things um for some reason
Starting point is 00:37:30 i don't know if it's because bouncer i suppose for that club pub that club for that night and they're working, I've seen as a faulty figures, I've seen as having power, or maybe it's just because, I mean, yes, but most of us aren't looking at a bouncer and be like, this guy, this guy's powerful.
Starting point is 00:37:49 I'll follow this guy over the top out of this fox hole. Yeah, like the power is, your power has a very limited scope. It's so limited. It's a very small amount of power. And if you're not working the door, oh yeah it's only the door guy it's only the door guy that has i mean i guess they have the power to remove somebody if they want to well my memory my most vivid memory of a bouncer uh in boston
Starting point is 00:38:18 was a bouncer being forced to clean up a broken glass and cursing and muttering the whole time with the broom and pan i vividly remember this for some reason of just how angry he was that he had to clean up the broken glass that's not his job um maybe it isn't maybe it isn't maybe it is though I don't know yeah it's tough to say I think some of those they see them I'm sorry I think they see themselves as like kind of like the secret service and I don't think you would ask the secret service to to sweep up some some glass in that building they see themselves as being responsible for the safety of every person in that building yeah and they feel really important now from the outside looking in it's like I mean okay whatever
Starting point is 00:39:04 You get to, you stand by the door and say, in, ow. Yeah, I mean, people blow smoke in your face and, like, disrespect you. Some places, like we talk about, maybe some places have like a heavy gang presence or like lots of violence and stuff. Then maybe you are, you know, you're, it's important for you to be there to keep people safe. But yeah, I think most bouncers are, you know, just being treated, treated really badly by people, uh, drunk. people who are yeah just like treating them disrespectfully all the time and occasionally they're having to throw people out who get too drunk and throw up or whatever my favorite pet peeve of theirs is people who drink too slow after last call it is so funny to me that like I guess drunk people
Starting point is 00:39:54 are like just sip their beer after last call because they're having a conversation and they don't want to leave the bar yet and that drives them up the fucking wall man man Listen, again, they want to go home. It's three in the morning. But that's the thing. When you say you're powerful, but you have to wait for a drunk to sip his beer before you can go home, I just don't know what power levels you have.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Thanos is just like waiting, waiting for the Avengers to like finish lunch before he can do his snap. Can I take that away? Can I take that away from you? Can I just, you look like you, I mean, you're just nursing that clearly. You're not. I went to R slash home security, saw a guy get just, just destroyed because he asked, any ideas for protecting election signs?
Starting point is 00:40:47 Ooh. And I think it's very funny because a lot of people, this first guy goes, just don't have them. It's a pointless thing that has. That's the best way to protect the, yeah. Well, he actually replied and said, no, thanks. I'd rather enjoy my freedom of speech. Hmm, I wonder which party this guy's putting up. It's so funny.
Starting point is 00:41:08 Yeah. It's so apparent. And you know it's one of those huge ones that like is the picture of Trump like after the assassination attempt. Like it's probably just the hugest sign you've ever seen in your life. Like just a great target. Yeah. Yeah. Like the neighbor's plants are all dying because it's like it blocks the sun.
Starting point is 00:41:31 And it's just, oh, what, you don't like my politics? Okay. Yeah. No, it's not that. It's that our skin is getting paler. We can't get enough vitamin D. Our doctor said we need more son. I mean, those signs, when you're in the rural areas, those signs get big, man.
Starting point is 00:41:56 They get real fucking big. This guy goes, because people drive past signs. and say, you know what, they're right. I'm going to vote for them instead of someone else. I'd rather not put something up that's going to possibly make someone want to do harm to my property. And the guy replies and goes, studies show that election signs do have an influence on undecided vote. Which studies? I would love to see the studies.
Starting point is 00:42:19 That seems like it would be a tough thing to really quantify. I don't know. But maybe, I guess, I mean, maybe. I'm sure they have some small effect on a larger scale, maybe, right? You're talking to like just like a huge amount of them. I think they could. I'll say this. I'll give one effect,
Starting point is 00:42:36 which is there's one house in my neighborhood. They didn't quite have the balls to put up a Trump sign, but they put up like every sign indicating that they're a Trump household. You know, like bring back prayer in schools. Like, all right. Yeah. I think you're only putting that up there because we will fuck up your house if you actually put up a Trump sign here, right?
Starting point is 00:42:58 so it's like you're but that house is tagged it's geo tagged in my mind now as that's the house um the trump house yeah that's that's what that's what this person is saying and they're absolutely right about that is that like it does way more harm than good you know like the actual impact it could have on an election is would is nothing versus the impact it could have on your life and the way people see you and the destruction of your property well it's a stupid thing to put up a sign for sure. This guy goes, not sure what's wrong
Starting point is 00:43:30 with the commenters here. Election signs work for the same reason Coca-Cola still advertises. Name recognition and repetitive drilling into our brains. Maybe get a trail cam and set it up.
Starting point is 00:43:41 Can get one for under 100 bucks. We'll at least have footage to give the cops. Well, unless they take it. Wait a second. Dad. No, no, no. It's remote.
Starting point is 00:43:52 Yeah, right. No, the trail can they could take. I think they could take them. So I was right. You're right. Yeah, the physical thing would be there and then you could hide it, I guess. You know, you'd have to like put up some hidden camera. But yeah, like that would be, then you're out a hundred bucks now.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Listen to this guy. He goes, I'd venture to say the police will have more important things to worry about than tracking down someone who stole an election sign. And he gets a reply. And the guy goes, funny, when I got my sign thief on camera, two different patrol cars showed up and spent 30 minutes in my driveway watching the video and figuring out what kind of truck it was.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Unfortunately, the plate wasn't visible. And we weren't able to get any further, but they seemed to enjoy trying. Oh, so you're saying, they seem to have fun. Listen, I didn't get my crime solved, but the cops who came out seemed to have a lovely time. And that's all that matters, really.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Oh, does this sound like a waste of time to you? Because actually... Actually, two grown men had one of the, most fun days of their lives. Leave the guy's house with like souvenir. That's so good. That's so good to be like in response to a person saying like the cops
Starting point is 00:45:09 don't really give a shit about this. Like actually if they don't care, why did they come home and spend 30 minutes watching a video in my driveway and do nothing else? And it's so good. They spent 30 minutes figuring out the truck and then they're like, but they couldn't
Starting point is 00:45:25 figure out the license plate so i mean they just had nothing else to do and they're just like oh hey let's go like do this thing you know for a little bit in the morning like if you've never been at work like have you never been at work before and you're like i'm getting kind of bored like let's go fucking do something over here like see if this person needs some help with something it's just it's just time wasting at the cable company you would finish all your jobs and then you go fucking dick around with another guy on their job yeah you know what i mean yeah and that's what happened A lot of people would come dick around with you on your jobs, I guess, because I can't imagine you were finishing anything. I worked very hard.
Starting point is 00:46:04 This guy goes, if someone has a political sign up, I just think they have too much time on their hands for pointless shit. Okay, that's actually more annoying than the OPEC. You know what I mean? Like, I'm more on the side of a guy who wants to put up his Trump sign than actually all political signs are meaning like sheeple. You know, giving one of those. Yeah, you need to, yeah, like, it sounds like you have, what does that even mean? You have too much time on your hands for what?
Starting point is 00:46:29 For putting a sign up? And the signs up, once the signs up, it doesn't take that much time. It doesn't take a lot of your time and you could, I think you could probably order them. I don't know how they work. I've never got one. I got a Bernie sign once.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Yeah, where'd you get it from? I ordered, I gave to the campaign and they sent me a sign, but then the weird thing was, it came after the election. So I was like, oh, that's not great, but. that's not helpful at all yeah especially in this case it's really kind of anyways but who we choose to put in power in our country is the least pointless thing you can do shadow government shadow government ever heard of it yeah it's always the same guys making the decisions at the end
Starting point is 00:47:10 of the day this guy's kind of honestly like this guy might be one of those guys who knows a bit more than us so we should probably sit down and listen what what about this guy custom make it out of one foot thick concrete or a quarter inch steel plate, make sure you can dig a three to six foot deep hole, sink it in and fill it with concrete and dirt. So that is insane. That's fucking insane as an answer to give to that. What are you talking about? Well, that's like it's like a Lex Luthor project, you know? Yes. Yes. Okay, so I went to home slash our slash home security Now, this one was interesting. Wait, this is a question.
Starting point is 00:47:54 Weight activated doormat. I'm a little uncomfortable from a privacy perspective about having cameras around my home, especially if they connect to the internet. But I'd still like to be notified when somebody enters my home. I was thinking it would be really nice if there were a scale or something. I could put under my dormant that could notify me when someone steps on it and also record weight so I could see if someone left heavier than they entered, as well as disregard weights. I recognize.
Starting point is 00:48:21 This is, this is really, this is really, I always wonder, of course, you know me, I'm a little sitting. I always wonder if this is a fake thing, if someone's doing a joke,
Starting point is 00:48:35 because when you're talking about a thing where you can feel, see if they left, like once they've entered your home and you don't know that, do you know what? He sat heavier. He just went in the home for a good reason.
Starting point is 00:48:47 He just must have been, he might have put, stuff in. Let's just, yeah, this is, once a guy enters your home, why do you care, like, are you not going to be able to see what he stole from, like, you know what I mean? Like, go through your possessions. That, that part doesn't make. You'll fucking know when they leave heavier.
Starting point is 00:49:04 Well, what if he leaves lighter because he took a shit inside or something like that? Oh, that's really, then all of a sudden you get these really, these really smart thieves who are like, they bring in these, like, they wear heavy things on, like weight, weight things on. And then they leave them in there and take stuff out. And then everyone's like, oh, shit, I guess you didn't steal anything. It's like, your TV. Was it? Was it not right there?
Starting point is 00:49:27 And it's like, well, yeah, I think. And you have a bunch of concrete blocks all over the house now. He goes, I've seen a few that will set off alarms or send alerts in response to being stepped on. But I haven't been able to find any that actually record the weight. That's because it's a stupid idea. Well, Chris, this is one of my favorite kind of Reddit conversations where somebody comes up with a stupid idea, a bunch of people tell them why it's a stupid idea, and they refuse to believe that it's a stupid idea. Like, they still think this thing should be invented. Because they've already, they've got a lot of work mentally on it already before posting, and they feel like, I'm not just going to let you, like, tear this down.
Starting point is 00:50:11 This is like an idea that is very important in my mind. this guy goes here's the problem with what you're asking for a mat that sends an alarm isn't hard to find they're used to monitor when dementia patients get out of bed or leave their rooms getting one that is weatherproof would be a little harder but still doable recording the weight of the person standing on them requires isolating the top surface of the mat from the bottom so that a strain gauge can be located between the two now rigid surfaces there has to be a rigid top and bottom so that all the way on the top surface can be routed one or more strain gauges to weigh someone finally unless you can find a way to make your target stand still on the right right yes yes yes i guess i guess
Starting point is 00:50:56 you'd have to like when they're coming to the door and they're trying to get into the door maybe but then also how about some quicksand let's put some quicksand over it too that's smart how many mats how many mats do you have and how many entry places to your home because you have to count on them coming through the front door right what if they break in through a window like gurglers or leave through a window but you can put weights outside your window you would never leave through a window you'd never leave through a window i'm thinking like a robber now you'd obviously run out the door yeah yeah yeah and stand on the mat for a second so yeah when you're running out you would stop for a little bit just to sort of gather yourself that's what you're
Starting point is 00:51:33 yeah you're hoping that they would light a cigarette and gather themselves because uh so this guy said a rule of thumb is they your mat is going to be 1.5 inches thick because by the way a scale can't be flat that's like not possible yeah it doesn't yeah that's why you just explained I believe right it has to have that mechanism and you can see you can you can you can just imagine somebody putting a scale in front of their door and laying a welcome mat over it sitting in the room with a with a notepad writing down the weight when the guy gets yeah is somebody going to say is somebody going to say is somebody going to say that like i guess you could put a scale that's like a runs on bluetooth or whatever
Starting point is 00:52:19 is like connected on your phone and you can put that under the mat perhaps and the the burglar keeps burglarizing it's like i think i got to go on a diet or something like i i keep i think i think the sweets are getting to me here uh the person replies it goes i live on the third floor of an apartment so weatherproofing isn't much of an issue i don't really need wait to be accurate as long as it's consistent. Don't know what that means. No. Insanely confused by that. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. So wait.
Starting point is 00:52:54 The original poster lives in an apartment? Yes, on the third floor. Now that I think is very interesting information. Um, I was picturing a house this whole time. Yeah. So this is an apartment. So you're worried about somebody coming through. I mean, I don't know. I get through a lot of door. Yeah. Like I live in. I live in a house. an apartment right now, and they said they live on the third floor. I live on the fourth floor of an apartment, and I know that
Starting point is 00:53:19 not at all buildings, but I know you have to get into the building, which is not you need to have a way to get in with a buzzer or whatever. Then you need to be able to get on the elevator, and if you haven't been buzzed into that floor, then you can't actually get up to my floor. You have to be able to... Maybe if he was on the first
Starting point is 00:53:35 floor, I could understand this a little more. This is a little... This person seems a little bit paranoid. well they go like a lotto guy my current bathroom scale is thinner than that so i'm not exactly sure why it would need to be thicker when i'm less worried about accuracy i wasn't thinking no i think what they're trying to say because i think they're trying to say that like it doesn't have to be initially accurate but then it has to stay consistent so that there is a level of accuracy that you need for that i don't i don't know what they're even what that would even mean exactly what about
Starting point is 00:54:12 this is while he goes then i'm less worried about accuracy i wasn't thinking i would try to detain anyone myself but it would give me the opportunity to contact law enforcement and or apartment security officer officer yeah what sorry how do i know how do i know that something was stolen well let me let me tell you let me tell you about this guy left 23 pounds have me tell you about this incredible incredible um sharks sharks can you all sit down here please Let me tell you about this is incredible. I mean, there's truly no other way to tell someone has broken into your house and reported to the police than to have a scale that they step on.
Starting point is 00:54:54 And the, yeah, the idea that you have. It's worked for truckers for decades, you know. Truckers, livestock. Is that it on what we are weighing here like this? Well, they do. There's something like that where I definitely know where you weigh. and then you weigh on the way out I've gone to something like that before
Starting point is 00:55:16 definitely like a trucker thing is the only one I can do this guy goes so what happens if they just enter the dump that's where the transfer station when you go to the transfer station of the dump they weigh your car with the garbage in it that you have and then they weigh you on the way out to charge you they figure out how much weight
Starting point is 00:55:34 you dumped so that's where I've experienced that yeah a guy does ask about what happens if they enter through a window and but then he does ask a really good question. What happens if they don't touch the doormat on the way in? Oh, the perfect, the perfect crime. Oh, he walked over
Starting point is 00:55:53 the door mat. He walked over the door mat. He was sticking up. Motherfucker, George Clooney just the Chinese gymnast is there just for that part. Just step over the mat. Right. He goes, I live on a third floor,
Starting point is 00:56:09 so I find the risk of people breaking in through a window. enough to not worry about it. While I agree that the mat would be useless if no one stepped on it, avoiding the mat would be a really weird thing. Oh, well, hang on, hang on. How about this? I got a great idea. The fucking biggest mat you ever see. It's the whole hallway. It's the whole, it's so big. It like goes down the stairs and it's like it's all, it's up the walls and shit. Like, you cannot get away from this mat. The other thing I love is he's putting, he's doing the the Will Graham Manhunter thing, he's putting himself in the
Starting point is 00:56:44 mind of the criminal. Yes. Like, this is, this is where you came in, didn't you? Didn't you? You know, like, this is where you broke into my house, didn't you? You know. Hey, guys, avoiding the mat would be a really weird thing to do and probably more hassle than it would seem to be worth if they were carrying out my possessions.
Starting point is 00:57:02 Also, my cat would probably try to escape. And ideally, she would be able to set it off. Huh? So the cat would try to escape. If somebody was breaking into the door and they stepped over the mat, the cat would escape and that would set the scale off. Or if you open it. Now I know somebody's broken in.
Starting point is 00:57:21 I see. Oh, I see. But don't you know some, isn't there a way that you could just have an assistant where you know someone's broke? You could have a ring. Well, they don't want that. They said that because they don't feel. They didn't say that. Well, Dan, Dan, the reason is because they don't feel comfortable with having cameras around their house.
Starting point is 00:57:39 like now that we know all of this seems like an insane thing to say because I know and you figure out it's not a joke because they are defending this to the death this isn't like trolling would require more would require more like like different language
Starting point is 00:58:00 you can you can tell that there are hurt feelings here in a way that someone just wouldn't fake right? Listen it's it's if it is trolling it's good trolling because it does seem believable now that I'm hearing more of it. Well, this guy goes, what do you mean weights you recognize? You do realize weights fluctuate daily. I can only assume you've got some kind of illegal activity going on that you don't want recorded, but also don't want people stealing from you.
Starting point is 00:58:25 Whoa. I like that guy. That guy. Oh, okay. I think the criminal is you. Oh, shit. Matt lady. So this person's like, has their own movie going on that also, and there's a whole different ending to their movie.
Starting point is 00:58:39 This is cool. Matt person, this guy, they reply and go, uh, I recognize the weights fluctuate, but it's pretty unusual for people to gain or lose more than 10 pounds in a week. It would just be reassuring to me personally to be able to tell that it's probably my housekeeper coming in and not someone who's never been there before. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. When your housekeeper is coming in, just talk to them.
Starting point is 00:59:02 Well, they can steal though. This is what I'm saying. You let a housekeeper, you're worried about all this and you let you let. You have a housekeeper? But wait a second, though, Dan. It's pretty simple, though, because the housekeeper, of course, can go work, but we check the scales at the end. And if she's heavier on the way out, she's getting her pig slip in the morning.
Starting point is 00:59:22 It's actually, it makes everything in life a little bit easier, to be honest. Everybody's, I love the idea, too, of them sitting there. Excuse me, excuse me, a delivery guy. I actually ordered a quarter pounder, and I'm noticing as he's step on the scale. That is not a court. He goes, after all the ring hackings I've heard about, I'm a little wary of putting a cloud-connected camera in or around my house. Just because I like to know that no one's watching me in my own home. While I definitely can't get as complete picture of what happens from weight, it's also not information I'm particularly bothered about anyone stealing.
Starting point is 01:00:01 Also, I'm pretty, yeah, well, it's not your weight. No, but they could because this person is going to go in and out of the. host so they're saying that like if somebody was able to hack my system and gain access to my weights or whatever that wouldn't bother me that they knew how much i weighed well there's actually a crucial bit of information here also i'm pretty good at guessing people's approximate weights just by looking at okay well get listen you've you've buried the lead here get yourself on in a traveling carnival and make a little bit of money uh so it's not like i'll really have any information about them I didn't before given that some oh so they're like listen I'm pretty good at guessing
Starting point is 01:00:44 people's weights so it's not like I'm going to have any information that I didn't have before because I look at you I see what you way I'm just getting a more accurate so it's so I'm not like there's nothing that I'm doing that's sort of like unfair to you or I'm not collecting information your data I'm not collecting your data really because I'm already guessing your weight when you come around. You know what I just realized? You could get a motion sensor that just detects if anyone walks up and skip all of this. Well, hang on to say, but the motion sensor, so the motion sensor tells you how much they weigh, how?
Starting point is 01:01:27 All right, that's a good point. I mean, how do they steal? If you had, here's an idea I have, a motion sensor that memorizes your body and then if you leave, And your body's different. Oh, your body's different. How about something? Do you guys know echolocation? Yes.
Starting point is 01:01:45 You get something that's sort of like, I don't even know exactly. Get a bat. Get a bat and have it hang there. And I don't know the science. Just get a bat. Teach it. Just basic communication. Teach it English.
Starting point is 01:01:59 No basic communication. It can tap. It can do. It doesn't have to learn our language or whatever. But yeah, echolocation, if you just had things knocking off the walls and all of a sudden it could sort of give you a more accurate reading of what sort of is there is there something where you could figure out what type of matter was leaving your apartment i i think it would depend on the bat and i think on how well you trained it um but maybe you could do that too and
Starting point is 01:02:25 say like the bat would communicate with its claw he was holding your bow's stereo the bat yeah or your straight your your your your ring your bow stereo and it's like well hey good thing actually please take it i'd like to hear the highs and lows in my music please shots fired at bow i'm wearing bow's headphones right now that's why i i hear about a half of what you say you know because it's just the quality is awful so he goes i'd get a p oe camera system with a local nvr i think what that is is that's one that's not on wifi or anything okay and he explains that visible cameras can act as a deterrent and provide actual evidence if somebody does do something. How would you use?
Starting point is 01:03:11 So the person replies, this is his final reply. I've been thinking I'd like to have those as well. My hope with the weighing scheme would be to have a way to be notified in the moment of any ingress so I can respawn more quickly. And so I have a better idea of which bits of my recordings are actually worth going through if anything were to happen. If I only had the cameras, I think I would probably feel compelled to watch all of the footage really it just comes down to wanting a compromise between the ability to constantly
Starting point is 01:03:40 surveil my home and wanting to stop everyone else from being able to do that i i hate this guy man i hate him and and obviously you fucking moron i don't even have ring or any of these things they notify you when there's any movement in it they already do that you know it doesn't tell you it tells you nothing about movement and it's just like okay but then what's the weight of the movement that is what what if they're carrying my yeah that's what i'm saying it's like oh yeah great be like oh this guy is carrying a tv no the weight will tell you that dad the weight that's how it works yeah let's check back in with our guy here because they stereotypically seen as having being very manly and being
Starting point is 01:04:22 very like neanderful kind of neolithic stone man you know they beat your men for a living i don't know what it is about us that turns the girls on because i've seen ugly guys who are dormant who will pull all the time, you know? Wait. He's seen ugly guys that are pulling tail all the time. Yeah, he's, listen, he's not, he's not, I wouldn't say that he's, you know, prototypical kind of a handsome guy. I would say he looks like a pretty classic, you know, chin strap, short hair, British lad,
Starting point is 01:04:56 I would say, he's, yeah, he's, again, it's his body. I think he, I don't know, I think he's taking some supplements. yeah supplement said make him not grow any hair also it looks like yeah he's got he has a big neck he has a big neck he has a very big neck the neck same size as his head yeah yeah uh let's check one more here and then we got a few other home security guys that are crazy they're walking down the street girls won't give them a second round so as soon as they put on that badge as soon as they put on the black t-shirt or the big jacket leather jacket they pull they pull they pull
Starting point is 01:05:32 instantly. They don't even need to talk or sweet talk to what the girls. The girls come to you. No, no, no, hang on, hang on. They have to pass by you to get into the place they're trying to get to. You don't even have to approach these girls. They're just walking up to you and drove.
Starting point is 01:05:51 There's a goddamn lineup to talk to these guys down the street sometimes. You know who gets a lot of ass. St. Peter at the Gates of Heaven. Oh my God. they're just coming up to him holy fuck man
Starting point is 01:06:06 I love this guy you know what I used to really pull you know what I used to really pull a lot of tail when I used to work as a toll booth guy holy shit no joke these chicks would drive to me
Starting point is 01:06:21 they would drive over to where I was they literally would come pull up and be like oh hey how's it going oh I don't know they would hit the brakes they would throw change at me yeah they would hit the brakes and throw change at me i wish we don't have a lot of toll toll bridge which is a good thing i guess generally speaking but that's another job i loved i wish that oh yeah that would be a good one for you for sure i just i liked it because i remember that was one of the most
Starting point is 01:06:49 when when i lived briefly in new york when my mom lived in new york we're in long island city we would have to go by a toll thing regularly and i loved the throwing the change into it like as you go by it was it was something that I wish I could do more often. Yeah. Here's a little more of... I look young for my age. Oh, at least I'm told that. Right, it tells me differently.
Starting point is 01:07:11 But most of the time, I look young for my age. And I have a baby face, at least when I shave off my beard, I do have a kind of sweet, angelic sort of being a sort of looking baby face in some ways. And I mean, I've had it. He's angelic. I don't know. Like, he has a baby face, but like, not the, like, not sweet and angelic. Well, now that you mention it, I got to say, he does look like a baby in a diaper right now.
Starting point is 01:07:36 Does he not like? Yeah. Yeah, he looks like a baby. He has a baby body. He has a baby body. He is in pretty good shape, but he's kind of thick in the way that my son Charlie, who's 16 months old today, is sort of thick in the way that he is and has a similar kind of body. And, of course, no shirt on. Yeah, he does look like a little baby.
Starting point is 01:07:56 He's like kind of a cherub as well a little bit. mm-hmm elmo and the r slash home security subreddit said so i introduced ad t to my brand of home security awesome start what do you mean what does that mean oh believe recently bought a house our first home came home today to a random white no company logos or markings early 2000s ford ranger parked in my spot a driveway front door slightly ajar i went into go mode i pulled my clock and i pied my way into the front door and started clearing my living home only only to find an ADT quote authorized retailer unquote sitting in my recliner apparently the old ADT equipment in our house set off an alarm and he had to come by and reset it was talking to my wife about the security system oh say your wife was home
Starting point is 01:08:49 yeah oh wait wait talking to a salesman this makes it because listen you no one's supposed to be whatever, like the door is kind of open, but yeah, like, I guess maybe, I guess maybe he had already talked to his wife and he comes so many thinks something's happening to his wife, but it seems psychotic.
Starting point is 01:09:10 Yeah, to pull your done and clear the room at the sign of, first side of trouble? Yeah, I mean, it seems like an overreaction. I guess, hey, you know, you never want to, but yeah, I would think that what I, what I might do, I might call my wife from, you know, if I was really concerned, I might be like,
Starting point is 01:09:28 there's a there's a car outside here the door's kind of open you know is everything okay uh before just to put some fire under her say i have a gun aimed at your head right now so choose choose wisely what you do before i pull my glock out i might just sort of yeah do like uh make a phone call or something or knock and say honey you know something like that but i guess that would alert the the potential um perp yes he goes uh He goes, uh, I ask who he was, why he's here and basically told him to rip his company's equipment off my wall and get the fuck out of my driveway. I kind of looked like a douche to my wife, but fuck ADT and whatever bullshit scares sales
Starting point is 01:10:13 tactics this crap was. I just took the, I just took their iPad thing off the wall and systematically unplugged and killed the whole system. Parts are in my trash can. We'll be doing the blink system and apparently sooner than later at this point. I don't think this guy This guy doesn't feel like a guy who's capable of heavy duty self-reflection
Starting point is 01:10:34 So I feel like that comment From his came from his wife about her saying You seem like a douchebag right in that scenario Yeah and I think also The line that where he's clearly rankled That the guy was sitting in his recliner Oh yeah Yeah I don't like that I wouldn't like that either
Starting point is 01:10:53 In his recliner yeah There is an element of a fear of cuckoldry at work here as well, I think. Yeah. Lurking. Yeah. My recliner is cheating on me. Right.
Starting point is 01:11:10 In a way. Yeah. It's kind of like, yeah. This guy's in the recliner talking to my wife about security. That's my job. Yeah. Yeah. I do that in this house.
Starting point is 01:11:20 I thrown on and on about the security of our home while I sit in my recliner and my wife pretends to pay attention. that's me yeah and i put a gun if anyone else does that yeah yeah i i hey i kicked the door into the house i that isn't there anymore because i kicked it so let's look at some reviews uh simplice safe nine piece wireless home security system with hd camera uh i'll show you guys okay probably wouldn't mind seeing this it's a nice little amazon thing It is $149. Okay.
Starting point is 01:12:01 Nine pieces. It looks like a home base. I don't know what any of these pieces are. One of them is like a, that's a, um, there's a ring camera. Then there's like a door, there's doorbells there. There's an intercom system it looks like. Yeah. Well, let's read a review.
Starting point is 01:12:20 Let's read a couple reviews here. Uh, this person goes absolutely dishonest marketing. Since the invention of cameras, the devices by definition have recorded footage. What these people are trying to sell you as a digital periscope, not an HD camera, as they claim. It's absolutely farcical that they sell you a device where you can whimsically peek through your periscope using their app, but you neither control nor own your camera recorded footage until you pay them $9.99 a month to purchase a copy from them. So you pay them $10 a month and they'll give you the copy of what happened on your camera. So it's like when you go down Splash Mountain and then there's photos at the end, you can buy them, but you don't have to.
Starting point is 01:13:16 Yeah, exactly. It's the exact same situation. You can just enjoy the ride of having a camera up in the corner of your home. they give you zero options for recording and storing your own data without paying them additional money each month furthermore the motion detectors are absolutely terrible me six two waving my arms fiercely at them in a black leather jacket didn't trigger a single alert hang on a second a cool guy alert hey The fact that he mentioned he was in a black leather jacket, it's so meaningless. It has nothing to do with.
Starting point is 01:13:57 It's not like a bright thing or something, you know. He just wanted to say that he was wearing that he has a black leather jacket. And that he's six two. Yeah. Had to get that in, too, right? Which is, hey, that's cool. That's a very good height. That's how tall I am.
Starting point is 01:14:12 Dan, you're one of the few guests that you're the same height? Or taller. Taller. Yeah, you're taller. Yeah. How tall are you? 6.3? I'm 6.4. 6.4. Dan is a tall guy, I will say that. Do you have a leather jacket? I don't have a leather jacket. And this is maybe my problem with home security that I, well, but then it didn't do him any goods.
Starting point is 01:14:30 The camera didn't pick him up in his leather jacket. But you do have, I remember you're wearing a Chicago Bears jacket. You do have a Chicago Bears jacket. Oh, you got rid of it? I just, it's probably at the back of my closet somewhere. It was good. It was like, it was, I remember thinking, like, it still sticks out to me as being like, oh, that was a night when I talked about, Dan and I, yeah, we went and had, uh, I just had one actually. We had the Popeye's sandwich, right?
Starting point is 01:14:55 Popeye's spicy chicken sandwich on Hollywood Boulevard. Brian, I always have to bring it up and explain to you about, you know, some of the cool stuff that you can do in Hollywood. I know the cool stuff. That was a great one there, sir. When are you going? Are you really? When are you going?
Starting point is 01:15:08 I'm just planning a trip. Like probably later in the year or early next year. Well, let me know. Well, we're of course, you could go, because we're doing our live show in October. Yeah. I don't think I'm going to do it then because I have shit. We're doing it.
Starting point is 01:15:23 Not in L.A. No, we can't. We can't do shows in America. No, Vancouver, October the 3rd. Brian's coming to watch corn and then we're doing a show two days later, October 3rd on a Friday in Vancouver. I'm stoked about it. It's going to be fun.
Starting point is 01:15:36 Furthermore, the motion detectors are absolutely terrible. Me, 6'2, waving my arms fiercely at them in a black leather jacket. It didn't trigger a single alert. Yet my wife, skinny and significantly short. than me triggered it right away wearing a bright pink t-shirt me big black leather jacket pompadour yelling hey daddy oh screaming hey daddy oh at this thing and nothing when i when i open my my flick knife or my zippo lighter it didn't did it didn't set it off either when i lit a match off of the sidewalk and lit my cigarette my cigarettes out of my fucking you know out of my arm
Starting point is 01:16:15 And yet, my wife's enormous jiggling breasts, set it off. My hot wife that has, she's thin, but she's got titties. Just to be clear, a hot wife, like hot HOT and then a space, not like a hot wife. We're not involved in any of that. He goes, uh, she, so it goes, next time someone tries to rob my house, I'll ask them to stop and put on a pretty pink t-shirt so they can trigger the motion sensors. so as not to pass by undetected. So why I want to read this is this guy thinks
Starting point is 01:16:50 that if a burglar comes to your house, he's probably going to be wearing a black leather jacket. Right. And not a pink t-shirt. Yeah, he's saying that a black, you know, that it's the bright colors seem to be tripping it and that he, most robbers are going to be wearing all black, which he is right about.
Starting point is 01:17:09 But I'll tell you what, if any of you burglars out there when I dress up as my wife, and break into my and break into my house yeah i will not stop you yeah and if you want to fuck me that's okay too if you want to come and it happens all the time women are always breaking into my house trying to fuck me it it just they see me they see me out my leather jacket and i walk into the house and then boom my ring camera goes off and it's a hot lady with jiggly breasts hey listen i'm a cherry pop and daddy sorry that's a throwback to the Brace episode where Brace wouldn't stop saying
Starting point is 01:17:49 Cherry popping daddy How are they doing? Are they still around? Are they on tour? I don't think they are. They had to change their name unfortunately for them. They actually did. Yeah, they did. They called the Daddy's, just the Daddy's stuff. That's all so bad though.
Starting point is 01:18:08 I think, all right. So here's a review that I think is very strange that I've never seen happen so this is nice Robert says one star great product horrible delivery one star for a great product they left it on my front porch
Starting point is 01:18:27 where any porch pirate could see it I have key delivery to my garage to make matters worse they open and closed my garage door even though they went nowhere near the garage anyone passing by could have gotten in this is the second time this month The product works great, five stars. But Amazon leaves you no way.
Starting point is 01:18:47 Oh, whoa. You can't toss five stars in the middle of a one-star review. That's not allowed. This is, yeah, this is so unfair. And also it's like, this is someone who, this is just like complaint culture or whatever. It's just like the idea of wanting to be angry about it because nothing bad happened. They delivered it in a way. Nobody stole it.
Starting point is 01:19:09 You got it. It works great. it was all perfect but you are just out there seeking out trying to find something to be aggrieved by and I you're so right and something I briefly worked as a USPS letter carrier it's the hardest job I ever had and I quit but something that annoyed me I remember when I was doing that was remember there's always like there's this culture of like posting the ring camera footage of like oh the FedEx guy just threw this over the fence and it's like was it broken yeah oh it wasn't because it's been moved like that the whole fucking time since it left the warehouse.
Starting point is 01:19:46 Yeah. And it's fine. It's packaged for that. If something breaks and then you review the footage and you're like, oh, the delivery guy threw it and it broke. Then you contact them and say, hey, your delivery guy threw this and it broke. I'd like to get my money back for it or whatever. However that works. I don't even know.
Starting point is 01:20:02 But yeah, you're right. It's this idea of like, well, nothing bad happened, but something could have happened. And that's what I'm upset about. That's so fucking stupid Because the product works great It's five stars But Amazon leaves you no way To rate their delivery service
Starting point is 01:20:17 So I leave a bad review As a product review Eventually their suppliers will complain If enough people do So this guy He's actually helping The Gandhi of our time Coming forth
Starting point is 01:20:28 He's actually This is one of the most brave things I've heard He's like You know He's not doing it for himself Actually I was wrong I misjudge this person
Starting point is 01:20:38 He's actually doing it for the greater good. He's being the change he wants to see in the world, you know. Hey, you know, they don't give you any way to review. You can go to trust pilot and review Amazon, actually. You can, yeah, you can fucking use Amazon. Don't use Amazon then, you asshole, you know. They're just going to throw your shit.
Starting point is 01:20:58 They don't care. I'm sorry to tell you that they don't give a fuck about your package. Amazon, they don't care. They deliver stuff. And they, I never have a problem with it. They deliver stuff to us. It's always. and good, you know, they do a fine
Starting point is 01:21:11 good job with it. Here's a ring battery doorbell. This guy, this is a very strange review. This is very security guy. Beware. Jammers may block recordings. One star. Ring camera is not picking up all deliveries.
Starting point is 01:21:28 Ring will say it's in your settings. It's not. It's not the settings. Something is very wrong. Something is very wrong. there's something fucking going on here and it might go all the way to Jeff Bezos yeah I mean I think it's something of the way you read it as well
Starting point is 01:21:48 but it just like it seems so like like a real serious problem we're dealing with here I'm thinking of like you ever play the Batman Arkham games where you're you're Batman and you can disable their technology using a way like yeah there's Batman's in a fucking tree aiming it at this guy Alfred, the nest The nest is down You know, whatever
Starting point is 01:22:10 Well, this is interesting Because he goes fully charged battery Picks up everything Until an Amazon driver pulls up And there's no activation No motion sensor No alert No video of a driver
Starting point is 01:22:23 Who dropped off a package Right in front of the camera I'm home watching this I go out to pick up the packages I'm home by the way While this is happening By the way I could have answered the door Yeah
Starting point is 01:22:36 I actually I'm home watching the green camera Why don't you add to the door and talk to the guy? Why don't you look at him with your eye cameras, man? No, that's like going to a concert and filming. It's like sometimes you just want to go back and watch it, I guess. And interestingly, I go out to pick up the packages and the camera activates immediately.
Starting point is 01:23:02 And interestingly, one of the packages was clearly sliced open and empty there's something very wrong here i've googled it and it's clearly a problem happening everywhere this is nowadays this is a big problem with the internet nowadays is that there are so many people on it and you can find so much information to corroborate any crazy shit that you want if you we we saw it well i don't know what maybe it was on guys plus or something where it's like depending on how you search for something, it will give you different information. It will give you like confirmation bias type results.
Starting point is 01:23:41 You know, if you say like, why is this not this way or why is this actually this way, it will give you a bunch of different results that sort of. Right. Yeah. And the AI stuff is like, are screws good to eat? And then Google at the top,
Starting point is 01:23:55 screws are sometimes a part of a diet. Like, you know, it's like, yeah. Well, uh, something's very. wrong here. It's clearly a problem happening everywhere. I've read drivers could be using jammers to block the Wi-Fi from connecting. Yes, jammers are illegal. Unethical drivers and criminals just don't care. And if the delivery people can do it, anyone can. This has happened to me a lot, huge packages. What kind of said? If the delivery people can do it, then anyone can. What is that?
Starting point is 01:24:28 Yeah. Yeah, I guess. You know what? I mean, there are most, there are top level. That's the most trustworthy profession that we have it's like listen if the delivery guys can do it then god i feel like even doctors could possibly be doing um i got to say if if they are if delivery drivers are jamming cameras to avoid those viral moments of them being seen throwing boxes i think that's fucking awesome i think that's the coolest shit i've ever heard they're doing it they're saying they're doing it to steal stuff i think is what they're saying no No, they're not. They're saying they're doing it to block what they're doing.
Starting point is 01:25:07 Yeah, but this person had a box sliced open, they said, and then something was missing, right? That's what they said. But also, I think they're saying, like, oh, they throw the packages or they mistreat the packages and stuff like that. They don't put it in my garage door thing. I mean, that makes sense. That makes sense that it would, yeah, because I guess you could check if they stole it, it would still be hard. You know what I mean? like they would still have ways to catch them probably if they were stealing it other than just on the can and why would he steal it on the camera do you know what I mean like why would he take it out of the box in there and he brought it he brought it he could have just kept it yeah why would he bring it there why would he go to the house and then steal it so yeah I think he's the thing he walked up to the house and he took his knife out and he slid it oh yeah obviously I got this shit jammed the fuck up they ain't they're delivering something it's time for the purse and he's trying for the purse and he's like well yeah obviously I got this shit jamming the fuck up they're delivering something it's time for the
Starting point is 01:26:01 perfect crime to happen. Hang on, let me just... If I don't deliver it, everybody will know I didn't deliver it. Let me just make sure that I avoid the mat. Don't... He goes, uh... Whoa, watch out. There's a guy doing karate over there.
Starting point is 01:26:18 We got to get out of here. And if delivery people can do it anyone can, this has happened to me a lot. Huge packages, not picked up by the ring, but then a tiny package later the same day is recorded. I got a... I got a black leather jacket delivered. It didn't even get picked up. But then later my wrap-around Oakley sunglasses were delivered, and it picked it up no problem.
Starting point is 01:26:44 Ring and Amazon better figure something out to combat this problem where I sense a huge class action lawsuit coming. I mean, the only people we really want video are potential criminals, right? And if they found a way around getting recorded, then what's the point of having a ring? curious to see if this review gets pulled because from what I've read it's clear to me that ring is aware there's a problem and their go-to quote it's your settings is not going to cut it forever this guy this guy I feel like senses a lot of class action lawsuits like he just he gets that feeling a lot that a lot of them are coming very soon to sort of you know and then he'll sort of get hit you know then people will see how right he really is it's his settings by
Starting point is 01:27:30 the way. Oh yeah. It's a thousand percent his settings. Yeah. Oh yeah. And he just refuses to work with them. Like it gets, because I read a lot of reviews for like ADT and stuff like that. And listen, I hate calling people like companies, right? Like calling AT&T is the worst possible thing you could ever have to do in your life. It's like you're going to be on the hold for a really long time. And then you're going to get to the other side of it being answered and they're going to want to troubleshoot because their job is to try to get you fixed before they have to send somebody out to do it so like I understand being frustrated when I call but if I call over and over again I say hey look this thing is happening and they say it's your settings I maybe would go through my
Starting point is 01:28:18 settings with them and see if it's possible well that I have something set up someone come out I'd have someone come out before I started doing the conspiracy jam or stuff if I would have somebody from the company come out and look at it. This reminds me of something. I used to work at a call center for a food delivery service. It was a terrible job. And I remember. Brian, you so are at a call center also.
Starting point is 01:28:44 Dude, we've had a lot of the similar crummy jobs. We have. Do you ever recommend anyone for the job? Me? Yeah. I referred one guy. I don't think so. Brian, can you say it?
Starting point is 01:28:58 Because I always say it. Can you just tell Dan quickly what happened with the guy that you referred? I referred my wife's friend's boyfriend to the job. And he got fired for whacking off the porno at his desk. And Chris thinks it's my favorite story I've ever heard. And Chris thinks that that made me look bad. But I don't believe that at all. He just kept working there.
Starting point is 01:29:25 He kept working there after. I worked and he's like, we went to King's Island. Yeah, he hung out with the guy afterwards as well. That's jacking off the porno. We all do it. Yeah. That I couldn't work there. After would be a little.
Starting point is 01:29:39 I couldn't work there afterwards. I, it's just like the way that I am. I couldn't, I would go in there and I would be like, well, as soon as I leave every room, everyone is talking about like the thing. That's the guy who jacked up. I'll give it. I'll tell a quick story, if I could, about this. We had a, like, a group chat thing for all of the call center operatives, right?
Starting point is 01:30:03 And I remember there was this older guy who joined, and he started, and I'm not joking, he started hosting, like, a talk show in the chat, and it was called Fred's Hot Topics, because he was named Fred. And he would, like, throw out topics to discuss. And bear in mind, this is for, like, work stuff, you know, like so-and-so's restaurant is closed today. see so it was it was work related still it was not work related it was like oh the image i remember was all right today's fred's hot topics should abortion be legal oh he said that i remember
Starting point is 01:30:39 that was posted i literally saw the manager walk across but anyway um so i'm working at this call center for food delivery one of the most common complaints we had on the phone was i found a fucking staple in my food and um this restaurant needs to get you know this is dangerous this is in trouble it was the same explanation every time not that they cooked a staple into the food but that they undid the bag which was stapled and they dropped the staple and that's what happened and that's what that reminds me of right yeah yeah yeah for a second that's not what happened this is what happened you know yeah but i want i want to do one more insanely mad person we'll get out of here uh this is off trust pilot this is about the adt it's one star and it says want to get
Starting point is 01:31:33 robbed call a d t i'm like i don't want to get robbed i'm not going to call them the company is the most fraudulent company i've ever been in contact well okay i got to start that over because it's very strangely worded this company is the most fraudulent company I've ever been in a contract with ever in my life. None of their products work. The front door lock didn't work. The garage didn't work. We got no notifications if a door or window was left open.
Starting point is 01:32:01 The CO2, who knows if it worked. Not dead. So that's a plus. The smoke alarm was placed right outside my shower room's door where the shower room has no window. So all the steam sets off the fire alarm. I don't think that's true. That actually is true. It can do that.
Starting point is 01:32:17 Is it? Yeah. I would have thought I wouldn't have. thought the steam would set off a fire alarm that is annoying then uh i've answered the fire department and it's how six times in a two months span it got so bad the fire department battle ram the front entrance of my gate to make sure there wasn't a fire and then the fire department decided we didn't need to be linked up to them so they cut us all well that me yeah the fire fire department had enough obviously yeah i like the fire department saying fuck fuck these guys honestly yeah like we'll just let's
Starting point is 01:32:54 just risk it on this one if we get another one if listen hey if it burns down i owe y'all a coke all right right if you see the i need to be able to physically see the flame yeah when you see flames then i'll come out yeah he goes uh we had countless service guys come over here and try to fix the problem and all of them said that it can't be fixed unless we want to replace our front door unless we want to replace our garage to accommodate their system it all worked the first day and then a week later nothing worked well the smoke alarm did but it was calling the fire department at the most inappropriate times listen they're all inappropriate times unless there's a fire there's only one appropriate time to call the fire department yeah and honestly it's not a matter
Starting point is 01:33:42 of like in the middle of the night, they don't care. Famously, they have to, they're ready at all times if there's a situation they need. There's just one catch. There does have to be a fire or something. Or something. Yeah, not necessarily some other situation maybe is a stuck up in a tree. That'll do. You know, there's all kinds of, you know, a car accident and stuff where they can come and
Starting point is 01:34:03 help. But there has to be something for them to do when they get there. Well, needless to say, my husband and I can't. their service because my husband was getting pissed off having to pay the bill every month and none of it was in working order he'd rather just cancel it and never have to see their name appear on his bill ever again we had to pay the breaking fee which was over a thousand dollars what the fuck yeah they they have brutal contracts like and like you would a break like when i sign a contract breaking fee yeah yeah to pay
Starting point is 01:34:42 over it. We had to pay for all the devices that didn't work and we are out over $10,000 because our gate still doesn't work. Wow. We got the system in the first place because my husband was mugged nearly twice and he thought it could help. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. He's nearly mugged twice. Now what does nearly mugged mean exactly? What does that mean? Was did he he encountered a couple of like teenagers who like who is near and they have a gate? Who's nearly mugging you? Inside. I'm thinking that he was nearly mugged in other places. Like, you know what I mean? Out in public somewhere and that made them so fearful that they put in security, maybe? Because, yeah, I don't, I don't hear a lot of muggings. No. Front lawn muggings. You don't hear a lot of front lawn muggings or whatever.
Starting point is 01:35:29 I mean, we did get into it. I had some friends that did some front lawn stuff, but like mugging. Hey, this is, Dan, you were on the original episode. So, Dan, when we found out about Brian's violence gang, actually. We would fight. We made merch out of it. We would fight people in our front yard. Yeah. Yeah, no, that's different, though, I feel like, right? That's different.
Starting point is 01:35:50 Like, mugging someone, I feel like, is just like a very specific thing. It generally, it happens on the street in public. Yes. The company's name should be if there isn't a fire, the fire department is still on their way. That's not a good name. A long name. That's a, let's get a second draft on that at least. he does have one or
Starting point is 01:36:11 once security we've actually just invited the robbers right in even longer I think yeah yeah I think a class action lawsuit needs to be put into play because this company I've been sensing one coming I've been sensing one recently so you might be doing it's getting a class
Starting point is 01:36:27 action lawsuit vibe off this or is that just me this is the this is the most I've seen that referred to two things I saw referred to so much citizens arrest Which me and my friends used to do that to people Right Like walking down the street
Starting point is 01:36:44 We'd be like citizens arrest and we go running after them You know what I mean? I don't know what I guess I mean I know what you mean You never did that? No, of course not I you can arrest people as a citizen Yeah I know but but yeah I understand Everyone as a kid they found out about citizens arrest
Starting point is 01:37:01 The concept of it and then we did You got excited about it but did you not understand You guys didn't really care that you were actually doing a kidnapping and that no we never took anybody it's similar to the fire department thing you know there has to be a reason we never took him anywhere i see so you were you were were bad at kidnapping you were no he was jumping people he was jumping people i wasn't jumping anybody he was he was jumping people so i would imagine you know probably the old
Starting point is 01:37:29 lady he's jumping probably did know what citizens arrest was and so she was probably like what did i do wrong she's probably all scared but it was him and his don't kill me please Please don't kill me. And then, you know, Aaron probably, Aaron, the leader is probably like, all right, that's enough. He's not the leader. That's not. Stop saying that on the show. All right.
Starting point is 01:37:48 Because people are going to think that I was a follower. And I never said I was the leader. I said, me and Aaron were jockeying for position as leader of the friend group. What did he? What did he drive? Camaro. What did you drive? Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 01:38:06 In the back of his. trunk i didn't have any i didn't have my license he wrote in the trunk dan and he claims he was one of the co-leaders of the gang and he wrote in the trunk so i fit in the fucking trunk yeah because he was the smallest as well which is generally so we we have like a charles manson tex watson struggle for control of the Manson family year. That's what he would like to you to believe, but yeah, as the stories have come out, listen, I started saying it as a joke that Aaron was actually the leader. Like I started, and then every single story he tells, it's just like,
Starting point is 01:38:46 so obvious that Aaron is the leader and that Brian was a non-respected member of the gang. That is a ridiculous thing to say. Dan has a podcast coming out The outfit Where can people find it Promote it because we cut out the promo in the beginning Because we do not allow early promo So make sure
Starting point is 01:39:07 We don't do commercials Let people know I'm just joking But do tell people where you can hear Well thank you The outfit available wherever podcasts are found Truly truly Premiering August 15th
Starting point is 01:39:21 Every week a different organized crime story It's I think it's a crime podcast for people who maybe wouldn't otherwise both would like true crime podcasts and wouldn't like true crime podcast. I mean, it's a unique one. I'll actually I'll listen to it actually. I will say, Dan, right?
Starting point is 01:39:38 Is there a co-host on it? There is. My co-host is Alana Levenson, a journalist, and we're doing it with headgum and higher ground. So if you like dough boys, Hollywood handbook, it's the same network. We're not, they're not really, they're not really, people who listen to us
Starting point is 01:39:55 don't really like dough boys. Hollywood handbook. But do you know the goo crew? Are you in a goo crew? I'm not in the goo crew. I was never invited. Yeah. Neither were we. So you have like a proper journalist on there. This is just going to be informative. This is going to have actual information. So I was saying I will listen to this. I love Dan. Obviously, I think he's so funny. But also the main reason I'm going to listen to this is because of the article that you did. And reading that article, remind everyone, what's the title of that article? That was last gamble of Tokyo Joe about the one Japanese American member of the
Starting point is 01:40:28 Chicago mob and he's the second episode we do a and so I think we probably talked about that on last episode because we did mafia guys but that's the reason why I will because that was so well done and yeah if you're interested in organized crime and stuff like that give it a listen it'll also by the way
Starting point is 01:40:46 if you're if you never watch this so super pumped there is a there is a there is a damn character in that movie it's a show I said movie god damn that's and you know what i interviewed the actor who played me about what it was like to play me i never published it i should publish that on my blog wait wait a second wait a second what tell me i know dan what's what's this you're telling me i'm a there's a show called super
