Starting point is 00:03:17 God, dang, that's good, man. Yeah, that little, uh, that is a good one. That's good. That's silver lightning form energy. Dude, it's so crazy. The cherry slush, I guess, is out now everywhere. Everybody's talking about it. It's like, yeah, I have, you know, it's good.
Starting point is 00:03:29 It's good. It's definitely like a top, top four for me, though. It's not my favorite either. Yeah. I think it's great. But I'm still, dude, I'm down with the orange and the grate. and the Paradise Punch. Yeah, I was feeling a little, like I had some Kyle in me,
Starting point is 00:03:45 so I just grabbed the horn. Yeah, the Paradise Punch for me is, I like that the best, dude, because it reminds me of the Hawaiian Punch when I had when I was a kid. Yep. And we weren't able, we didn't really have the, we weren't like a Hawaiian Punch family, dude.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Like, when you got a pouch of a Hawaiian punch, it was a big deal. And to me, that's what it tastes like. Yeah. It tastes like Hawaiian Punch with carbonation. Yeah, we had just red fruit drink. red it's red just red it's what we we know bro
Starting point is 00:04:15 yeah man no it's a good day man dude I wanted to share with the with people a secret talent you have that you uh you never talked about before what's that I thought we'd just take this opportunity
Starting point is 00:04:29 just to share you know like you yeah and he has a hidden talent he has a side side job actually oh really yeah oh god I can't. Bro, you're a meteorologist on the side. Oh, yeah, I am. Yeah, you are, dude.
Starting point is 00:04:44 And I have like five weather apps. And I spend like $1,000 a year on the weather apps. I really do, bro. You do. I buy them all. I buy the best ones. You know, I don't know where I picked that up at. But for some reason.
Starting point is 00:04:58 It's a skill. It's a skill you've developed. Yeah, it's fascinating. That's right. It's right. To me, it's right. It's right. I will say that my favorite weather app.
Starting point is 00:05:07 This is definitely not an ad. Okay. For this. Is radar scope. It's a great. The radar scope pro app is awesome. It's phenomenal. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:17 You got that one? Huh? You got the radar scope? Not, not, I'm not paying for it. Yeah, I got the pro one,
Starting point is 00:05:22 man. It's good. In fact, they make me feel bad because every time I open it, they gave me their like plug screen. Yeah. It's like, it's like, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:29 sign up, help support. Or it just continue to get it for fear. I'm like, yep, that one right there. Yeah. Not that invested. But,
Starting point is 00:05:35 but no, dude, you, you're a meteorologist on the side dog and um you know we're in the Midwest it's apparently supposed to get pretty hot you know the little intro just wanted to get you take on all the weather shit you know let's go to Andy with the weather what do you got I mean this is typical Midwest weather yeah it is we could expect to not know what the fuck is going on at any given time it could be sunny that's right we could have a it's supposed to be sunny 75 degrees and we can end up with, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:05 Wizard of Oz happening in an hour, right? Like, that's the weather here. I think that's really why I got into it, man, because it's like, it just changes so much. You can't listen to the weather people. They, they,
Starting point is 00:06:14 they, and it's not their fault because they're not on all the time, right? So, like, the weather changes so fast that you kind of have to just look at the stuff yourself. Yeah, it's the only job I know that you can like be wrong and still get paid. No, I know another one.
Starting point is 00:06:28 What? Reporters, uh, podcasters. Also, people who manufacture cell phones. Yeah. Oh, fuck. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Like cell phones is the biggest industry in the world where the shit doesn't even work half the time. And then they force you through planned obsolescence to buy new ones. Oh, yeah. Yeah, man. Well, I might have to expand that pool there. Yeah. But dude, so there's actually this now. Yeah, this is like the next.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Damaging wind gusts and large hail. Yep. Yeah. It's supposed to get pretty crazy over the next day, too. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Well, I could tell you right now. right now we are not having any sort of adverse weather yeah we had some we had some this morning
Starting point is 00:07:11 a little bit last night you know yeah um but yeah supposed to get pretty pretty here you will see but i did see this thing that apparently tornado alley is like shifting oh really like it's moving further to further further north and east yeah like it's covered us usually it's just like Kansas and Oklahoma but now it's starting to like move over and well the places I've lived and you know I lived in Springfield, Missouri, which is southwest Missouri, almost down to Oklahoma. I lived there for eight years. And in St. Louis, we've just always been right in the tornado alley, like our whole lives. So it's funny because when people come to visit, especially at this time of year, you know, it's not uncommon for storms to pop up out of nowhere and sirens to be going off.
Starting point is 00:08:00 And it's always funny because the people that aren't from the Midwest, they get super nervous. Are we going to die? Yeah. And then you have to tell them. They're like, are we going to die? You're like, I don't know yet. Let's go look. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:12 It's possible. But, you know, you know, unfortunately they do hit. And when they hit, they're really hard. But the chances of actually getting hit are still pretty low because they're so small. Yeah, for sure. You got a better chance of getting COVID. Yeah. No shit.
Starting point is 00:08:28 We got a little bit of that later. But yeah, no, I just want to bring that up, dude. You know, it's a special talent you have, and I've never seen anybody else with it, dude. I got a couple other ones to you, but. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Let's share with the class. Well, with your appropriate time.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Yeah, man. But no, guys, the CTI. We got some stuff to dive into. You guys know how this works. Remember, if you would like to see any of these pictures, links, videos, articles, go to Andy Ficella.com, and guys can check all of that stuff there. What? I'm just thinking it when you said special talents.
Starting point is 00:09:01 I'm just thinking of this. I had this buddy in college. Me and Sal did. And he had a special talent. But I don't know if I should talk about it. That's a fucking cliffhanger, dog. Bro. I don't know why this popped in my mind.
Starting point is 00:09:19 This dude used to come out of his room, butt naked. Oh, man. Okay? And bend over. Oh, man. And he could pull his nut sack, like literally down. to his knees and stretch it out like a fucking flying squirrel. Bullshit.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Yes. Like, you know, the flying squirrel? I've heard. Only this was like a prehistoric flying squirrel. Oh my God. It was like a turrette back down.
Starting point is 00:09:39 He would come out. He would come out. Why? I don't know. Just because he's fucking. Dude, you're just dumb drunk, retards.
Starting point is 00:09:49 That's got to be like a special condition. He'd come out and he'd go, distortion and like, like, dude, there'd be like, there'd be like people there. And then he'd run back in his.
Starting point is 00:09:59 What the fuck? I don't know. Don't ask me. What's he do now? Dude, he's probably, he's a successful guy, man. Yeah. It's just weird college shit.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Y'all know what I'm talking about. You know, it's weird dude shit that you, when people drink and fucking, you know, and you're 22 years old, people do weird shit. Flying to her a deck house. Yeah. It wasn't gay either. I don't know. It felt gay, but it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:10:24 It was more entertainment. Dude, that's got to be like a medical condition or something. If you run in Sal's office right now and yell distortion, he won't fucking fall on the floor of life. No shit. That's all you got to say. He'll know exactly what you're talking about. Noted.
Starting point is 00:10:38 You're going to have a bunch of people at Summer Smash fucking yelling distortion. Don't do that. Yeah. That's why I'm not saying his name. That's right. Because I know he listens to the show. I bet he's laughing right now. Yeah, fuck, man.
Starting point is 00:10:49 That's crazy. But yeah, man, let's buckle up, guys. I'm talking to get into. I'm talking to his knees, like a fucking parachute. Is he black? No. Dude, that all that shit's a lie, y'all tell. I mean, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:03 I see enough white weaners to know. Oh. I'm just saying, man. I play sports my whole life, dude. I've been around black dudes. I've been around white dudes. You guys are all fucking full of shit about that stuff. So, see, I begged to differ, though.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Like, I don't, I don't, I don't, I, same, right? Well, okay, you might not be full of shit, but y'all ride it to the fucking wheels fall off. Okay, I see it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, it ain't, it ain't always true. No, I mean, not always.
Starting point is 00:11:28 But, you know, there's outliers for sure. Yeah. You know, but on the whole. Now, I'll tell you where it's always true. Okay. With those Japanese people. Oh, yes. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Well, what do I know? I'm not a dick expert. I'm a weather expert. A little fucking veggie rolls, dog. Oh, man. I'm just kidding. Don't fucking come through me. All right.
Starting point is 00:11:55 It's all good fun until you get roundhouse to the face. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. by little karate kids. Yeah. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Well, let's dive into our topic, shall we. Let's do it. Yeah, this first one, and it's funny, dude. I don't, you know, we don't, we don't like pregame. We don't pregame this, right? Like the outline, the show, we don't, you know, you just come in. I know. You just pull up and fucking roll, right?
Starting point is 00:12:17 That's, yeah. And, you know, but it's so weird how things work because, you know, I like, I like when you wear yellow. Oh, you? Yeah, I do. It's a good color on you. And in the spirit of wearing yellow, uh, spirit of, airlines oh yeah that's actually why wore it rip we had a he man last show that's right this show it's
Starting point is 00:12:39 spirit spirit out for the homies spirit have you ever flown spirit huh have you ever flown spirit? I mean listen I listen I know we don't fly now commercial right but I'm talking about when you used to like did you I don't even think when did spirit start they've been around for like 40 years hold on really yeah when it is starzy I don't remember spirit like when I was when I was flying commercial I flew Southwest. Okay. You're a southwest guy? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Yeah, see, I don't remember spirit. I don't think I've ever flown in a spirit. Really? Yeah. I don't, I don't belong to one of the gangs. Which gangs? You know what I'm talking about?
Starting point is 00:13:18 Like you gotta wear colors to reflect like spirit. Yeah, bro, isn't it? It's too rough for me. Spirit Airlines is like the waffle house of the skies. That's right. You know what I'm saying? That's why it's yellow. That's such a great.
Starting point is 00:13:31 analogy. Bro, it's the same. The Waffle House of the sky. Bro, it's the same. It's the fucking same, dude. Like, you got to be able to defend yourself, bro. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Oh, yeah. You got to go in prepped. Your mind's got to be right. Oh, bro. You got to be on the lookout. You can't turn your back to the wrong area of the plane. Dude. It's a different thing.
Starting point is 00:13:51 And to my knowledge, shoe, though, like, to the credit, I know Spirit Airlines get some shit, but I don't think they've ever had, like, a major, like, issue, like, with, like, a plane crashing or a fucking mouth. I don't think they've ever. had issues with the actual planes. Now on the planes, it's a different conversation, right?
Starting point is 00:14:06 Because on the planes, we know it gets a little, little heavy. But yeah, Spirit Airlines is shut down. This has been the talk of the town and there's been, you know, employees are pissed because there was no like heads up. It was kind of just like, well, how are they going to heads up that they're closing down? Everybody could quit. That's true. That's true.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Yeah. That's true. But yeah, I mean, there's been a bunch of videos coming out like pilots making their last messages as they're like landing and stuff that's been crazy. one other thing that's going crazy with this topic is that you know these people they started putting together like you know just like a in memory of spirit and so I thought for you know for the show that well those pilots should just go start their own airline they could you know what I'm saying it could I just call it the streets but um in in in in let's be real yeah spirit
Starting point is 00:14:54 is for the streets spirit is for the fucking streets there's no doubt about that the idea could be you sell double the amount of seats and then everybody has to fight one other person. There you go. That is a great idea. Oh my God. It's first come first serve. You better be ready to fight. We're ready to go.
Starting point is 00:15:13 First come first serve. Yeah, that's right. That's right. But yeah, so in honor of Spirit Airlines, I have a video here for you. Let's check this out. Go suck another dark. You don't miss it. We're all going to miss it.
Starting point is 00:15:29 You're a bitch. Yep. Fuck out of you. You're dirty bitch. Yes, you are. Oh, yeah. That's the other thing.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Bro, that's another thing we could add to the streets. What is it? You got to chug a flask of Don Julio before you get home. That's right. That's right. Because there's only two things that happen when you chug Don Julio. You are fighting or you are fucking. That is it.
Starting point is 00:16:11 That's it. Not in that order. Yeah. You know, fuck, dude. Yeah, sometimes it's the other way. That's right. That's right. It's right.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Fuck, man. Yeah, they're down, dog. They're out. And, you know, it's so crazy because, I mean, the... Who would have thought? Who would have thunk it? Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:16:29 They're blaming the gas prices I saw. Blaming gas prices. That's one part, right? The airfare, you know, it's more expensive to fly now. It's more expensive to drive now. Couldn't have anything to do with, like, any of the shit that we just watched this.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Bro, you see that movie Soul Plan? You ever seen that? You know, I did, but it was so long ago. Oh, bro. Isn't Snoop Dogg in that? Uh-huh. Snoop Dog, Kevin Hart. I mean, a lot of, yeah, it's fucking,
Starting point is 00:16:55 like, I think that was nothing. I'll tell you the worst movie that I've ever seen. What? Snakes on a plane. Oh, fucking terrible. Snakes on a plane. And I think there was, like, more than one.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Like, not more than one. one snake. I thought they made a sequel to it. Do they? That is the worst movie ever, dude. Yeah, it was, it combines two of my least favorite things.
Starting point is 00:17:19 What? Airplane travel and snakes. Oh. That movie is only famous for that one particular dialogue. Yeah. Tired of these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane. That's right. That's it.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Isn't that Samuel Jackson? Yeah. There was no sequel to that movie. Oh, well, well, good. Thankfully.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Yeah. Yeah, man, but this. is down so gas prices that's what they're putting off is like the main failure but there's also talks that like that it's uh it's going to to the Biden administration because spirit tried to do a merger with JetBlue uh years ago that uh secretary Sean Duffy uh from the uh Trump administration he's saying that it was Pete Buttigieg's problem or fault that it didn't go through because that could have potentially saved it um now people are also uh
Starting point is 00:18:09 blaming Senator Elizabeth Warren on this as well saying it's her fault and there's a bunch of memes going out. That's good. That's a good one. That's good. Yeah. It's just crazy, dude. But like, you know, I know I'm young. What I remember, though, this was, I think this was like 2008 somewhere.
Starting point is 00:18:32 It was right after the big recession, but there was the massive bailout of all the airplane companies. And then there was the banks. Like there was a bunch of these things that have happened in the past, dude. I know one of the most recent talks. You should have let everything crash. Yeah. Let the system rebuild it for the people. But they won't do that because those are the people that finance their corruption.
Starting point is 00:18:51 It's like, where's the people's bail out, dude? You want to fix shit, bro? I've been saying this for years. Yeah. Okay. Instead of making the banks get bailed out, why don't you bail out people on their debt and let us see what the economy does? Let them take the hit once.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Bro. It'd be nice. Fuck, dude, it'd be fucking easy to do. Now, there's... Just before you go ahead, I have a point that I saw a post on your point that Dubai went and made tax-friendly laws, so the business has boomed, and a lot of people flew in to start their businesses there.
Starting point is 00:19:29 And the other South American country that went really hard on crime, El Salvador. They made it crime-free so that people are flourishing it's becoming a popular tourist destination. Correct. So if government did what you are just saying right now, businesses will really boom. 100%.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Everything will go. Yeah. Amazing. Yes. That's 100%. The whole problem we have in this country is that the biggest banks in the world with the most money in the world have everybody wrapped around, you know, they're back over the barrel with debt.
Starting point is 00:20:03 And those people never get real relief ever. And you know what? Yeah. you have to be responsible for your debt and your financial decisions and all those things. But they say that to us and the banks don't do that themselves. That's right. Right. So yeah, I mean, one of the things, and this is how you know that politicians are so full of shit.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Okay. Because this would be a real easy problem to solve. And America could become one of the most prosperous countries that have ever lived if the people who have created the situation. situation were dinged one time for creating the situation that they've created. Right. If you took all the credit card and you took all the banks and you wiped everybody's debt free and said, okay, we're not even changing the way it should be. We're just starting over and make the banks start over instead of people starting over.
Starting point is 00:20:57 The country for the next 50 years would be ridiculously prosperous. And it would be an easy thing to do. And you accompany that with, you know, know, low tax of some sort of flat tax, a 10% tax, you eliminate the corruption, you know, and the people that are getting cut out here are the people that are stealing the money. That's the thing. And so if these people really wanted to correct what was going on, these would be simple moves to make, but the people that would get hit with this have so much money in power that they're
Starting point is 00:21:32 able to buy everybody else off. And so they'd be cutting off their own interests, which very few people are willing to do. That's right. Right. So it's a really simple fix. But, you know, having the balls to do it and the selflessness to do it is something that our leaders don't possess. No. No.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Now, there's been a lot of talks, a lot of rumors around, you know, about the state of spirit airlines. I think I saw something about like the U.S. government was thinking about buying him and using it for like DOD and stuff like that. Fly in some more migrants. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yep. There's also been some talks that Elon Musk might be buying it and purchasing fucking Spirit Airlines. There's been some talks.
Starting point is 00:22:17 What do you think should be done with Spirit? I mean, like you got a lot of people, right? I don't think there was like 17,000 employees and workers left jobless right now. That's not good for the job market. What would you do in this scenario? I don't think the government should buy it at all. I think anytime the government buys anything large like this, take a step towards communism.
Starting point is 00:22:40 I don't think the government has any business in buying up any sort of situation like this. You know, if Elon wanted to buy it, you know, he would have to come up with a way to make it make money. But I think he could, you know. Yeah. I know where to start.
Starting point is 00:22:59 What's that? No more bonnets. Hmm? No more bonnets. What's a bonnet? Oh, yeah. There has been a dress code. That right there.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Yeah. That right there. Look, man. No more. I personally think that if a plane, if I think that on the other end of the spectrum, outside of the lowest possible transportation, I think if a company enforced a dress code on the plane,
Starting point is 00:23:32 I think people would pay more to fly on it. But see, I also have this thought too, though, right? Like, when you talk about this in business, like with products or service like there's a good better best right like there there's going to be the i don't own any businesses i've never built any businesses at the at for for cheap that i'm that's not i don't like to operate there yeah but it is a big market there though you know what i'm saying yeah but clearly it's not very profitable it's not it's not very profitable right so yeah i don't know how you do that the right way you don't i'm saying to make that make money i don't
Starting point is 00:24:02 well it's a flaw it's usually i mean dude look to sell cheap and profit, you have to do a lot of scale, okay, a lot of business. And they're probably, I mean, Southwest has done it. Yeah, but also they change those shit. Yeah, but also Southwest is also a, for most of the time, a pleasurable experience. Right. So, you know, spirit, now I've never flown on it, but I mean, I've clear, you know, reputation is exist for a reason.
Starting point is 00:24:40 They don't care about the experience at all. And, you know, I think that matters more than the pricing. Yeah, you can't be a boutique cheap. No. It don't work. Don't work. Don't work. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:24:55 I don't know. It's weird, man. It's so crazy. I mean, 40 years in fucking service and now they're out. I doubt we've seen the end of it. We'll see what happens. It'll be rebranded or something. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:05 I learned this too, bro. You know, most airlines don't even own their own plane. Like their least planes because of the turnover? I saw that. Well, it makes sense because then you have your, you know what your fixed costs are. Right. So it makes sense to do that. You know, just real talk, I don't know enough about the airline industry to like make an educated statement about how it should be run.
Starting point is 00:25:30 But I'm sure if I spent one day in their headquarters and like was schooled on it, I could figure it out. Oh, for sure. For sure, man. I can tell you the first thing. is like, yeah, we're not going to be the waffa house of the fucking sky. Yeah. Guys, let us go down in the comments. Dude, what they should, they should also do is like when these people act the way they act or they throw fits, I don't know if they do this, but they should track a customer profile and not allow those people to fly or charge them significantly more money.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Right. Like good behavior should be rewarded. And, you know, people don't want to. to fly or do something in public where there's a it's just chaos and it's unruly and you know um and that's what they got yeah guys does look down in the comments have you guys ever flown with spirit i i'm very curious to know our uh have you no i've never flown spirit yeah i've only flown southwest and then you know i fly commercial i have private now yeah yeah it's a lot better It's not bad
Starting point is 00:26:35 I mean I fly United I like United That is not bad Like bro even when we fly private You don't see me getting on there In my workout clothes No no you still dress nice
Starting point is 00:26:47 That's right Yeah Like it's sometimes just me and you It's just a standard Yeah You know And and uh You know
Starting point is 00:26:53 It's a reflection of the standards That we have in society Yeah I forget when we were talking about this But like even like looking at old pictures Of airports And like Yeah
Starting point is 00:27:02 Not only airports inside the airplanes, people used to dress in like a creepy suit and food was served on tablecloth with like proper cutlery. All that thing is getting minimized and minimized and minimized. It's all transactional right now. Well, and it's all for profit. And what you don't realize is that people will actually pay more for experience than, you know, so there becomes a point of, you know, diminishing returns with that. That's right. You know, minimizing it to the point where it's total shit is not the way you want to minimize.
Starting point is 00:27:32 don't want to fly anymore. You want to minimize it and streamline it for profit to the point of where the customer really doesn't notice the dip in experience, right? Like, for example, like you mentioned the meals, okay? We all know how they serve the meals on the airlines, right? Everything is set up for assembly line. It's like, it's like worse than hospital shit, right? That's a whole other discussion.
Starting point is 00:27:59 For the amount of money that people pay for insurance, they should be getting great food in the hospital. But anyway, when you, you could easily present the food differently to make the perception of higher quality. But they won't do it because they make two cents more or ten cents more per meal
Starting point is 00:28:21 doing it the way they do it. And there's a, there's a point there where you don't want to cross. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, man, guys, jumping on this conversation. That's no down.
Starting point is 00:28:32 the comments RIP spirit Yeah ultimately It's just a poorly run business And that's that Yeah Yeah yeah man Well guys let's keep cruising
Starting point is 00:28:41 Shall we It's good to headline too I got a little bit of COVID 2.0 Coming Oh yeah Yeah this one's interesting Headline number two reads Three dead
Starting point is 00:28:51 Of suspected Hanta virus Infection Who says You know anytime they're involved It's about Oh yeah Bullshit
Starting point is 00:29:00 Oh yeah It's fucking bullshit Yeah, one case of Hantavirus infection has been confirmed in the laboratory. The organization said on Sunday, there are five additional suspected cases. So three people who were aboard a cruise ship selling the Atlantic Ocean have died of suspected infections of Hanta virus. The World Health Organization said on Sunday, referring to a rare family of viruses carried by rodents. One case of the infection was confirmed in the laboratory. The organization said in a statement, there are five additional suspected cases.
Starting point is 00:29:30 of the six people infected, three have died, and one person was in intensive care in South Africa, it said. Foster Mohail, a spokesperson for the National Department of Health in South Africa, said passengers of the international cruise ship M.V. Hondias were in South African medical facilities, quote, following serious health complications arising from undiagnosed severe acute respiratory infection. Now, they're currently sitting off the coast. They will not let them, like, go to port. They're kind of being quarantined in the ship. This guy who's currently on board puts this club out. Let's check this up. I am currently on board the MV Javier,
Starting point is 00:30:13 and what's happening right now is very real for all of us here. We're not just a story. We're not just headlines. We're people, people with families, with lives. with people waiting for us at home. All we want right now is to feel safe, to have clarity, and to get home.
Starting point is 00:30:36 So if you're seeing coverage about this, just remember that there are real people behind it. I just ask for your kindness and understanding. Why does it look like he's reading? Oh, I didn't notice that. I wasn't paying close enough attention. Played again. If you played again.
Starting point is 00:30:52 If you played again. I was just thinking about like, I was thinking as he was. talking. I'm like, yeah. When you're seeing it again, just look at his eyes. Yeah, one more time. I am currently on board the MV Hombie is and what's happening right now
Starting point is 00:31:07 is very real. Yeah, he's really, he is absolutely not just a story. We're not just headlines. We're people. People with families, with lives, with people waiting for us at home. Oh man. He is reading. He's reading.
Starting point is 00:31:23 That's weird. That is weird. That is weird. I didn't catch that because when he was talking the first time, I was thinking like, God, this sounds exactly like the shit they were saying. Where people are, grandmas are dying and stay home.
Starting point is 00:31:37 And I'm just thinking like, oh, fuck. Here we go again. Yeah, I wasn't watching his eyes, but that's a good call. All the text also is heavily keyworded. Like all the words are heavy keywords,
Starting point is 00:31:48 which will affect you. Yeah, I mean, listen, it's happening, right? The M.V. Homdius,
Starting point is 00:31:55 which was, carrying about 150 passengers from various countries, left Ushawa in Argentina about three weeks ago from the Canary Island, stopping in mainland Antarctica, the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, Nighting Hill Island, Tristan, St. Helena, Ascension, and Cape Verde. In a statement on Sunday, the operator of the ship, ocean-wide expeditions, said it was closely monitoring the situation and is deploying all available resources to ensure appropriate medical care and support for passengers and crew. So they're currently sitting right outside of Cape Verde,
Starting point is 00:32:33 and they're not being allowed to port. And there's three dead bodies on there. So I don't do, have you ever done a cruise? No. Yeah. Have you ever seen the footage from a cruise? They're nasty. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Why do you think I would go on? It's like recycled water and shit. The purpose of becoming wealthy is so you don't have to fuck with other people. All right? Like, it's just you, your friends, you ran a boat, and you go on your own cruise. Yeah, it's right. There will, look, if you see me on a cruise, business is bad. All right.
Starting point is 00:33:08 I'm just telling you, man. Like, I'm in trouble. You got my start to go fund me. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I don't do them, bro. You know, I keep thinking of that, like, famous video of the Carnival Cruise where all your people are, all those people. Your people.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Oh, my people also. Your people Are fucking doing the line dance or whatever it is And then there's like these like two little white people And like their kid And they're like hiding their kid Everybody's twerking And I'm like yeah
Starting point is 00:33:39 Not for me No No Never I get invited all the time But I got friends that fucking love them I thought you know Like it's also interesting to you
Starting point is 00:33:48 Because it is a lot of my people And I would have thought that we've like Learned our lesson by now You know what I'm saying? Like, what are you doing? You know what I'm saying? About boats? Yeah, but I'm like, come on, man.
Starting point is 00:33:59 That was one of the first things I was talking about you. Come on this boat. Yeah, no, I don't do that shit, Doc. I'm smarter. You know? I mean, look, bro, I, you know, I know there's a lot of people that really like it. And I, you know, we're all making jokes and shit. I know there's levels to it and stuff.
Starting point is 00:34:13 But real talk, like, I don't, like, when I'm in public around people, and this is even before, like, people know who I was and stuff. I just don't like even when I go on vacation man and like you know how like you meet people on vacation and they become like your vacation friends. I don't do that shit. You know what I'm saying? That's not what I do. Yeah. I want to be left alone. I want to I want to hang out who I'm there with.
Starting point is 00:34:40 I don't want to talk to you. I'll be nice. I'm on vacation. You're not going to know that I don't want to talk to you. But I really don't. Yeah. And I just kind of always been that way. I've only got one example of vacation friends that I actually like.
Starting point is 00:34:56 And they're actually, yeah, Nate. I met them. Yeah, they're big fans of the show. They're really awesome people. But that happened like five minutes in, bro. And I'll be honest, I was worried at first, man. Well, dude, because they always get weird. Yeah, but Nate's awesome dude, bro.
Starting point is 00:35:09 I'm in his wife. They're fucking phenomenal people. But yeah, I'm the same way. Every time I've ever met vacation friends, like on the fucking vacation, I always get like this, like a swinger vibe off. Oh, yeah, dude. Like they get too comfortable. And it's like, hey, man.
Starting point is 00:35:25 Like, no. You guys want to go see the sunset together? Yeah. No. I want to see the sunset. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. So, like, I'm not that kind of vacationer.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Yeah. You know, I try to go to places where, you know, I'm just going to have my own time. That's just me, man. Yeah. Now, let's get info a little bit, right? Because, you know, Zishon pointed out something very, very important about that video that I didn't even catch on the first. go around, right? But because, you know, people tend to forget, right? COVID was a long time ago,
Starting point is 00:35:58 so it seems or it feels, right? But we've been inundated with so much shit over the last six years, you know, and, and I find this very interesting because, like, you got to look at the timing of all of this shit going on, right? Everybody's distracted with the Middle East right now, right? And I know we've said, and you've said countless of times on the show, you know, if all else fails, there's a few different big red buttons that can be pressed. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And so like are you your initial thoughts seeing this story hearing the story like right? Or is this just noise and I don't know.
Starting point is 00:36:30 I don't know. I mean, look, that's the problem with everything that we have going on. Okay. They do have us by the balls. All right. Let's say we revolt. Let's say we burn it down. Let's say we take over.
Starting point is 00:36:45 These people could just release some shit that they all have the anecdote to that would kill everybody else. Mm-hmm. And I believe. believe, I think everybody should believe, that they would do that. Yeah. So, and that's why the solution is cultural, it's not violence. It has to be, just like they've imperceptively infiltrated and subverted over time,
Starting point is 00:37:10 that's how it's going to be done the opposite way. It's going to be done through cultural change, you know, working from the bottom up, local government, personal standards, personal excellence, restoring that in the community and working up in a way that doesn't trigger them to push any of those buttons. It has to be almost imperceptible to them. People really need to understand that. When we talk about personal excellence being the ultimate rebellion, it's not just because it really is the way to change the culture, because as we talk about over and over and
Starting point is 00:37:48 over again, if we were to be able to have some sort of revolt and overthrow all the governments worldwide, the problem is, is the day after that and the week after that and the month after that, we still have a society of low standard, high entitled, weak, low ambition, fat, supplicating emotional. Yeah. Victims that will continue. to operate the same way that they operate. You cannot fix that with the change in leadership.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Just like you can't fix that in a company. You can't just bring in, like a sports team. You can't just bring in a new coach and you have an established culture and allow people to operate the same way and think the coach is going to change it. There's a reason why when new coaches come in that are good, there are some people that get rid of
Starting point is 00:38:46 and some people that the fans don't like them getting rid of. And it never makes the papers like, hey, this guy's a cultural cancer or this guy's causing problems in the locker room. But that's what happens. Like when you see your favorite player traded away without any real expectation, it's probably because he's fucking the other dude's wives or some crazy shit. Yeah, you never know. That they don't talk about. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:39:07 So you can't, people have to really smarten up when it comes to what it's going to actually take to change things. and it's going to take individuals, taking individual responsibility, first for their own lives, second for their communities, and doing that at scale and allowing that ripple effect to spread and move upward through the channels of government. And if we did it that way, it will work. But anything else will not work because the minute that everybody riots and burns it down and gets violent
Starting point is 00:39:42 and all this shit that these people talk about, that's when they can push these buttons that just destroy everything. Yeah. Yeah. So to answer your question, I don't know. You know, I remember when COVID started and I remember seeing the videos, dude. And at first they started to start out. They first, look, I remember it.
Starting point is 00:40:07 They started talking about it in like November and started hitting the kind of the news cycle. And then in December, they were still talking. about it and then in January they were still talking about it and then in February it got a little more intense and then in March it was like we shut the world down and the videos that they were showing for those first you know a couple months were literally 100% propaganda it was terrifying too yeah because they were showing videos of people literally they were saying this here and I bet it's hard to even find these videos now I bet they've been scrubbed but they were showing
Starting point is 00:40:44 videos of people walking down the street in China. They said it was China and then just fall over in the street death. Just collapsing. Yeah. And nobody died of COVID that way. Yeah. So that was clearly fear-based propaganda to get people to be terrified of it. And the dudes in a biohazard suits and shit picking them up off the street, bro.
Starting point is 00:41:05 Yes. Yes. That's traumatizing, bro. Well, I mean, yeah, because you start to think about it. And then you think about like the predictive programming that we've seen, like movies like outbreak. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:15 And all of these movies that have like, or World War Z or these movies that are based around, you know, this disease that shows up out of nowhere and literally wipes the whole planet out. So we already kind of were thinking like, this is possible. You know, there's movies about this.
Starting point is 00:41:33 It must be possible. And it makes sense, right? Because, you know, if I get the flu, then you get the flu, then he gets the flu.
Starting point is 00:41:41 We all kind of, you know, know what that's about. Or so we thought there's actually a lot of debate around that particular topic. But I don't, I haven't seen the same level. That video is not the same level of fear propaganda. What they did during COVID. But we don't know.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Maybe it gets worse. Who knows? Like maybe, maybe the next version, maybe all the people on the boat fucking get it and die. That's right. Right. They pull up as a fucking abandon ship. Yeah. And then somehow, like,
Starting point is 00:42:14 They're going to, if it's, we'll know soon is what I'm trying to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they're going to make it as scary as possible if it is. Now, the fact that the WHO, the World Health Organization is involved, is probably a bad sign. That's right. Well, I think we're out of the WHO now. But, dude, you know, I was also thinking about this too with COVID, bro.
Starting point is 00:42:32 You know what really, like, accelerated the fucking shit is when they started telling people, you could have it and not even show symptoms. Well, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, bro, then people really got, like, there's lots of things that. Sorry, babe. I'm going to tell you what really accelerated it. Here's what accelerated.
Starting point is 00:42:48 I made a post about this back then and got fucking screamed at by everybody. You know what accelerated the most was all the fucking influencers on the internet posting pictures of themselves in the mass like they were somehow responsible. Virtue signaling. This was the way to do it. And they were trying to make, like they were trying to present it as if it was a cool thing. And I saw it right away and I made a post. I say, hey, you know what you guys are doing? you're actually doing the work of these people that they want you to do.
Starting point is 00:43:16 And everybody's like, oh, you're so full of conspiracy. You're a conspiracy theorist. You're irresponsible, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then after everybody bought into the mask thing, it just went from there. Yeah. Yeah. Even though there was zero scientific evidence that masks prevent any sort of transmission like that. And then on top of it, they had the case counter.
Starting point is 00:43:40 And then we found out later that the case counter was driven And by test, the PCR test, the cycle rate turned to the maximum, which will actually throw a false positive because it will detect any sort of bacteria in your fucking nose. So like it was all manufacturer. There's still been no accountability for it.
Starting point is 00:44:01 And if there's no accountability for it, the chances of it happening again are very high. This is why there should have been accountability immediately for it. And yet we still see no accountability. It's like, and I was talking to a person who's, you know, politically involved and they were like, nobody cares about that anymore. Well, dude, you should.
Starting point is 00:44:22 You should give a fuck about that. You should still care about that because, dude, the next time if these people, that was a test, dude, that was a compliance test. And what happens if they release something that actually kills people or that, you know, like, dude, there's just, people got to wake to fuck up I don't think I hope not that they could run the same play again I think it would have to actually be really killing people for it to work again yeah but who knows man I mean that's the other scary part dude it's like but how would we even know if it actually you know what I'm saying because I do I also have a feeling too that like those same videos like bro you remember the mass graves right yeah
Starting point is 00:45:07 like dude because we had one not it wasn't a mass grave but we had uh we they set up in Earth City. They set up a fucking mobile morgue. Yeah. Bro. And they were using refrigerated fucking tractor trailers. Yeah. They also brought those two big Red Cross ships.
Starting point is 00:45:23 One in New York. And nobody went to. And one to L.A. And nobody, they were zero patience on it. Bro. And like, and I know. And then when you said that,
Starting point is 00:45:31 all the people who had bought into it are like, you're so full of shit, blah, blah, blah. Bro, you're on the internet virtue signaling for your own attention and your own self-worth and your own clout. They're not even paying attention to whatever's going.
Starting point is 00:45:42 on. They're just going along with what they're told to go along with because they want to be with the in crowd. It takes a lot of courage to look at something when everybody else is doing it and say, no, that's bullshit. And there was too few of those people. But luckily, there was enough to eventually destroy the narrative. But it should have happened immediately not like, dude, if everybody would have said, fuck it. I'm not staying home and I'm not wearing the mask. The shit wouldn't have worked. It only worked because we participated. And then ultimately we find out why they did this, which was to make the biggest wealth transfer in the history by closing all the mom and pop businesses, making essential businesses. People go to Walmart, but they, you know, they couldn't go to their local restaurant.
Starting point is 00:46:32 They could go to their local restaurant, but, you know, they had to wear the mask while they were walking to their table and they could take it off. Like, this is like anybody with fucking two ounces of. intelligence can understand how stupid that is. And a lot of people now look back and they're like, man, that was that. Why couldn't you see that in the moment? Well, the truth is you could see it in the moment, but you chose to ignore it because everybody else was doing it and you didn't want to take the flack.
Starting point is 00:46:58 So really what we had was a problem of cowardice. And that's what caused the entire problem. And then the result of that cowardice was billions of people taking an unproven medication that is not. now causing the overall mortality rate to be at the highest rate that it's ever been in the history of humankind causing all sorts of complications heart issues turbo cancers all this crazy shit and people have lost loved ones and there's people walking around today that took that that are terrified of what could happen and uh you know none of that would have happened nobody
Starting point is 00:47:35 would have taken those things had people just not went along with the shit when it started it wouldn't have happened. They couldn't have done it. So cowardice is what actually allowed the problem to materialize and cause the real damage. True. Bro, it's so crazy. It's just so crazy, dude. Like, it doesn't feel like it was that long ago. It doesn't for me because, dude, to me, time, like, time changed then. Yeah. Because I woke up and I, when I say woke up, I mean, I came, became aware of what was going on. And there's been no accountability. And like it bothers me so much because the truth of the matter is that was the biggest
Starting point is 00:48:18 crimes against humanity that's ever been perpetrated on humankind. Ever. Ever. And there's been no accountability. And that burns my ass. And so like I can't let things like that go. So ever since 2020, like I've kind of felt like I'm still in 2020. It's weird because I look at pictures of myself and I'm like, man, you look younger then.
Starting point is 00:48:39 And I look in the mirror and I'm like, that was six years ago. And then I'm like, it feels like it was yesterday because it hasn't, there's been no closure. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Yeah. Then you look at shit like this, like Fauci's now teaching at Georgetown University. Getting a, so the highest paid fucking member of our federal government gets to orchestrate and fucking deal with all of this shit.
Starting point is 00:49:01 And then gets a fucking cush your job at Georgetown. Not only that. It's not the first time he did it. He's done it before. He did it in the 80s with AIDS. Yeah. Dude lead the next generation of doctors
Starting point is 00:49:16 That guy That guy should not be breathing error For real Like he should have been made an example of Him Tedros All the people that pushed it Dude it's disgusting
Starting point is 00:49:32 He looks different there No he looks like his same little Fuck Yeah I think it's just the angle Yeah His nose I'm surprised he's allowed to go in public.
Starting point is 00:49:44 Yeah. I mean, bro, if your family, if your family had taken, like, dude, I know families that lost people that were, like, 30 years old because of that vaccine. If your family had been, like, I don't know, I just know how I think about things. I can promise you. If my family, people, my family had passed away because of what that man did, I can promise you. I don't care about the repercussions. He would not be breathing the air. That's just my personal position.
Starting point is 00:50:17 And it's weird to me that like, I don't know, it's weird to me that people, I don't know, it's just weird. It's so crazy, man. So crazy. We also discussed on the show. Think about like people who lost everything. 19 year old daughter, some Illinois political leader,
Starting point is 00:50:32 we discussed in the show. His 19 year old daughter died because of the vaccine. Yeah. Certain heart attack. Right. So like I just don't I just don't understand I don't understand how people aren't more angry about it to this point And out of all the people you know None of the people close to me took it
Starting point is 00:50:52 So it's not like it's personally affecting me right now But man I think about like all the people had their businesses closed all the people who lost their life work and Generational businesses of you know a hundred years having to close because of the greed and and and the deception and the nefarious nature of these people it's I just think that if I was in that position there would have to be I would have to get my pound of flesh somehow yeah
Starting point is 00:51:18 yeah yeah dude it completely rechanged so much man yeah I remember when it felt like almost like like like COVID was a fucking STD or something dude you know what I'm saying like I remember tell out
Starting point is 00:51:30 like I think you gave me COVID oh yeah like what the fuck man like you know it just retrained even talking about it dude It's just I'm starting to get like I'm starting to get angry about it like I can feel the inside of my being heating up like It just infuriates me man, you know my best friend in the fucking world had to watch his dad die on Zoom They weren't a lot of have funerals right like all because of lies these were lies you know like
Starting point is 00:52:03 And nobody wants to have accountability anymore. I don't know man like where to go. Sometimes I think I'm just I'm living and breathing in the wrong era like it's just not real. You've said it today and you've said it a couple times. The problem is cowardice and courage. Yeah. That's where the root of all the problems lie. Well, yeah. And I say this in the sense of, you know, this is also why people struggle in business.
Starting point is 00:52:31 That's why I said like the root of almost all problems lie there. Yeah, come from cowardice and courage. Yeah. You know That's crazy But yeah So no cruises for you Did you know
Starting point is 00:52:43 The Rich Carlton They have a cruise line Yeah That might not be too bad It's a limited Number of people It's only like 50 people Yeah
Starting point is 00:52:50 It's still too many Yeah Yeah Yeah man It's uh You know It's not It's not for me
Starting point is 00:53:00 Yeah I get it dude The idea of being trapped On a boat With 50 people That I don't know for an unknown amount of time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Sounds like slavery. Yeah. Because then like, yeah. But like, yeah, man. And then like you got to do the thing
Starting point is 00:53:20 where you're like trying to like like hide. Yeah. You know, oh, there they are at the table. You're like run by real fast. You know, like it's just,
Starting point is 00:53:27 it's just I just don't like that. It's not for me, man. The average cruise ship carries approximately 3,000 people. Oh, fuck that, bro. No. Fuck that. So something like that,
Starting point is 00:53:36 what's on the screen right now, 3,000 people. Fuck that. It can go up to 10,000. Yep, never happening. Not for me. Do you think you would have went on the Titanic? No. No.
Starting point is 00:53:49 Even back down. Dude, I'm just not like that. That's just not my thing, man. Like, I understand people might love it. It might be the greatest thing in the world. They might go on a cruise five times a year. It just does not sound appealing to me. It's the same way as like jumping out of an airplane.
Starting point is 00:54:06 is not something that I would do. It's an individual thing, I think, more than anything else. It's not something I'm into. Yeah. You know, I would rather, like if I was going to go, like for me, my style of thing would be, how much is a cruise to go on?
Starting point is 00:54:20 It starts anywhere from like $300 and up. Oh, really? Depending upon how many nights you're going and where you're going. Do you know cruises before? No. $300? Yeah. A night.
Starting point is 00:54:31 A night. It depends, like, if it's a two-night package, it could be just $300. bucks then it goes up like depending on what room have you guys been on cruises i have not really you know joe's been on one bro that's that south county lee may baby yeah look man i i i would rather get in my car rent a small cabin somewhere go to the grocery store do my own thing that's what i'd rather that would be more what i would like to do i wouldn't mind like doing like a like chartering a yacht that's different yeah that'd be awesome sick but it's what it's awesome but it's what i'd rather
Starting point is 00:55:05 It's like people you invite to come on. Yeah. But also like the yacht thing, you know, there's 30 to 40 crew on a yacht on a big yacht. That's a lot of people. So now you're around all the crew all the time. Yeah, that's a lot of people. You know? So it's like.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Maybe not. Yeah. It's just not. I mean, I would do that. Yeah. But yeah, that's not for me. That's like, that's like going to six flags and never being able to leave. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:35 For five days. Yes. I think Bezos is selling his yacht. He's got a few. Yeah, it's a half, $500 million. Well, he has a couple. He has a big motor yacht, and then he's got it like a sailing yacht. Bro.
Starting point is 00:55:50 It's huge. He's, yeah, his, Co-Rue is his name. I don't know, I got a picture of it. There is. Bro. What? Yeah. That, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Bro. Yeah. That's a sailing yacht. I don't even know why someone will buy something like that. That's fucking crazy. Yeah. 430, what, 417 foot? That's crazy, bro.
Starting point is 00:56:19 Not for me. That's a good-looking boat. It looks like, uh, it looks ancestrally familiar. Okay, that's enough jokes. Guys, jumping on this conversation, man, let's go down in the comments, what you guys think. We got one more. Headline three. You ever been to Philly?
Starting point is 00:56:42 Yeah. Yeah. Throw it off you? Yeah. I think I have been there once. Yeah. I've been there a couple times. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:49 I've been there a couple times. Yeah. Philly's in the news. Oh, yeah? Not good. This story's fucking crazy. Headline number three reads, High school student exposes classmates' abysmal reading skills as they struggle
Starting point is 00:57:03 with words like silhouette. and extraordinary. Is this like news? Oh, bro. It's fucking news. So my high school. That was like just normal shit when I was growing up. You made fun of kids that couldn't read.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Like, you made fun of them and you know what happened? They learned to read. Fuck, dude, you guys used to do like where your teacher, like you had to call on somebody to fucking stand up and reading in class. You guys did that? Yeah. Yeah, we did that too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:32 I bet you hated it. I didn't. Oh, why? I wasn't too bad, believe it or not, my reading got worse since I got older. Well, I'll tell you, one time I got bullied by my own teacher. So it was in third grade, and my teacher, we had, you know how like when, I don't even think they'd teach cursive anymore. No, they don't. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:01 But back then they did. It was mandatory. And they'd have like the letter A, the letter B, the letter C and cursive. And you had to like duplicate it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I just, I saw the cursive letter. And I wasn't even thinking, man. Like I just, but this taught me a valuable lesson.
Starting point is 00:58:21 Okay. And I would just wrote out the regular A underneath it. And I wrote out the regular B and I wrote out the regular C. And I didn't even like, I didn't even think about it. Like I, it wasn't. But what it, and then she, I got an F. You had to copy the letter. And then she stood up in class and like made fun of me.
Starting point is 00:58:43 She's like, what grade was this? Third grade. Second or third grade. Fucking asshole. And she like stood up in front of the class and she's like, and then we have Andy who didn't even do. And this is what he did. She held up the paper and showed and like, but here's what it taught me. It taught me to pay attention.
Starting point is 00:59:01 It taught me to pay attention to what was asked from me. Yeah. And so, you know, here I am still remembering that story. That's important. So like the real talk. I was just going to ask that. You still remember. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Pay attention to the details. And that taught me that. And so I'm not like complaining about it, but like, dude, people are so fucking soft. If you can't say silhouette or extraordinary, maybe you should get made fun of and learn how to fucking say them. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:26 But, you know, dude, it's 2026. It's not going to be as easy as that, right? This story here. real quick I was going to say too you know what I hated my teachers did like you know we can take in the test right and teachers coming around and look at your notes and they would like come look at at mine and then they make a class announcement guys make sure you're paying attention to all this shit it's like fuck now you now for the rest of the test you're super paranoid it's like god damn it man uh okay but yeah so this story here right you got a high school student in philadelphia
Starting point is 00:59:54 um he went on uh he posted a video on ticot uh showing his classmates uh he just gave them a little no card he was like read this all right and the school is the preparatory charter school of mathematics science technology and careers um in the clip the user uh by the name of what the uh veck um he posted this earlier has since garnered almost two million views so far um this is the clip read that means for governor's schedule does that mean he's asking a fire that accommodating the governor's scheduling and your own work there's a governor's schedule and so the colonel is asking the fire to accommodate to it in your own word I don't know
Starting point is 01:00:52 the choir to accommodate the governor's schedule what does that mean right they asked the people to sing for the governor's schedule I don't know what this means the home is required to accommodate the governor's schedule what did that mean he asked to accommodate a comment I don't know I don't know bro Hold on, stop. These are fucking high school level kids. Yeah. They don't even know.
Starting point is 01:01:21 They can't understand what that means. They can't understand. That's sad. Bro. Bro. That's a product of the system. 100%. That's a product of teachers who are more concerned with teaching social constructs
Starting point is 01:01:38 that don't even have any science to back them or politically correct agendas that are total bullshit that end up handicapping people anyway instead of spending the time teaching them actual skills. These people are going to get out in the world and they are going to be completely ineffective, which is by design, it's by design. Okay. If you have people that are in the real world and they are unable to read and comprehend basic things, that means they have to be taken care of by the government.
Starting point is 01:02:07 Okay. This is communism playing out right here in front of your eyes. continue. Also, why you need to understand everything when you have Chad GPT? Yeah, well, that's a whole other discussion. You know, nobody's writing original content. Like, I got to ask the other day in Artei,
Starting point is 01:02:25 how should we make sure that our brains don't rot from relying on AI? The answer is very simple. Read books and write shit yourself, okay? Very simple. Those are perishable skills. Reading is a perishable skill.
Starting point is 01:02:51 Writing is a perishable skill. And I don't know if you all notice, but I can certainly tell like all these, almost every single caption that I read on Instagram at this point in time is written by AI. And it's gross. And like the minute I see it,
Starting point is 01:03:10 it just, I'm like, dude, And then I see the comments and people aren't even picking it up. Like they're not even understanding. But now that I see this, maybe that's why I can understand. They can't recognize it. They can't even read anyway. Before we move ahead,
Starting point is 01:03:25 I saw a post today that PayPal, which is a very big company, is hiring a person which the title is Head of Content CEO, meaning they want to hire a person who will, create and curate content around the CEO to make the CEO look more human. Open AI is hiring a person for their social content, which is one of the biggest company, which everything is AI and they are hiring humans to make their content look human. I mean, yeah, that makes sense. But I mean, the thing is, look, this should be, this is sad, but it should be, a, but it should be a, a red light that goes off in your head for how much of advantage that you have by having simple human skill sets.
Starting point is 01:04:23 That's true. That's true. If everybody is so used to looking at a screen for having conversation, when somebody looks in your eyes and gives you a firm handstake, even though that is very basic, it stands out. And they can intelligently articulate whatever they're talking about. They know things without pulling their phone up. That's right. And those kind of things, right? How many discussions do you, like, one of my biggest pet peeves is like when you're having a discussion with someone and then they like pull out chat chepti and start like pointing in there.
Starting point is 01:04:55 Like that, I've seen that happen dozens of times in front of my face. And it's not like, hey, let's double check that. It's like they're listening and then they're putting it in there and then their thoughts to come back or the thoughts that they relay back to you. And dude, this is how people become completely controlled. They can't think, they can't read, they can't articulate, they can't write, they're incapable of creativity, they have zero of their own thoughts. And this is a massive problem, a massive problem. Because what it does is it creates a community of people, a culture of people that are
Starting point is 01:05:33 completely dependent on Big Brother. They are completely dependent on free. shit from the government, which only comes from all the people who have done it the way they're supposed to do. And eventually, these people who have done it the way they're supposed to do are going to become discouraged and they're going to say, well, what the fuck is the point of doing this? And that's when starvation happens. Okay.
Starting point is 01:05:58 There's books about this. Like, it's not that, well, apparently it is that hard to read. But, you know, there's books called the fourth turning, the red famine. You can read about how this happens. And it's happening right in front of our face. But. Atlas shrug. People don't take the time and they think that could never happen here.
Starting point is 01:06:20 Okay. Well, what happens here when everybody says, fuck it? There's no point in even trying because everything gets taken for me and given to people who don't try. That's right. Yeah. When that happens, people starve. Period. And then people are like, well, the government.
Starting point is 01:06:39 will take care of it. Well, dude, have you been to the License Bureau? Have you ever tried to get a permit? Have you ever dealt with the government before? Everything they do is so inefficient that it creates massive amounts of issues and inefficiencies. That's why it takes five hours of the DMV. That's why it takes three weeks to get an inspection or a permit. These things are a product of unnecessary bureaucracy because the government wants to create jobs. And when we, when people operate that way, it creates a scenario where they can't actually do things in an expedited manner.
Starting point is 01:07:19 And that might not matter when you're going to get your driver's license. That may not matter. But it certainly fucking matters when we're talking about the delivery of food or the growth of food or basic human things. the government is a terribly run organization. And if we depend on it for our basic needs for survival, history will repeat itself, which the history is everybody starves and dies. And there is mass death.
Starting point is 01:07:51 And in my opinion, we are not far off from that. We are very close to that. Think about what's going to happen when these people are the ones responsible for providing. When these people who can't read a simple sentence, and if they can read it, they can't explain it or comprehend it,
Starting point is 01:08:10 what happens when these people are in prime working age and they are responsible for the rest of society? The answer is mass death and starvation. Okay, because now you have two options. You have the option of these people running shit, which they can't, or the option of the government running shit, which they also can't.
Starting point is 01:08:29 So we are in deep shit, and nobody's even talking about it in the way that we are right now. No. No. Yeah. And my opinion is those people should be bullied
Starting point is 01:08:40 to the end of the fucking earth until they can read simple shit. And comprehended. Yes. Comprehended. Like you, real talk, y'all, a bunch of fucking retards. I'll start it.
Starting point is 01:08:53 Can you comprehend that? And they're like laughing. I don't know what the fuck that means. Get the fuck out of my face with that shit. Like, bro. Bro. That was really good. Do you not understand
Starting point is 01:09:05 what's going to happen to you because of this? Dude. Yeah. Rediscuses. The colonel The colonel. What did that mean? To sing with the government.
Starting point is 01:09:21 Yeah. Right. So what's the backlash here? Well, yeah. So the school, since that video became... And school's just mad because they're caught not holding the standard. Oh, man, isn't that crazy?
Starting point is 01:09:35 Yeah, I guarantee it. Because here's the thing. So state test scores show. That's so sad, dude. Bro. It's so sad. And all you young people out there, you need to understand this. You have to take responsibility for your own education.
Starting point is 01:09:50 You have to become a student in your own time. And this goes all the way down to basic skills of reading and writing. and comprehension. These people who sit there and milk the government for a salary and don't give a shit about you, they don't care if you go out in the world and get your face stomped in. And that is what's going to happen. And when they go out in the world and they get their face stomped in,
Starting point is 01:10:19 they're going to blame everybody else and they're going to say, give me free shit, which creates votes for the people that say they're going to give them free shit. And that's how everything is fucked. Yeah. Dude, so right now state. test score shows that just 53% of students at the school tested proficient in reading and then only 19% were proficient in math right and so this dude the student
Starting point is 01:10:42 posts this video shared it online it's getting millions of views right the school's response is this quote I am writing to express concern regarding the school's decision to pursue expulsion of a senior student over the creation of a TikTok account that involved interviewing fellow students on their ability to spell words from what has been shared the content appears harmless in nation and nature and does not promote violence bullying or any other form of serious misconduct so the school suspended that kid for posting that okay this is the backlash of an hour addressing this black African-American student is a senior that is foreign with a strong academic
Starting point is 01:11:22 record and a high GPA which reflects consistent dedication responsibility and commitment to their education to jeopardize their future At such a critical point over an activity that seems intended for lighthearted engagement raises questions about fairness and proportionality and disciplinary action. School is Preparatory Charter High School on the TikTok page is what the VEC. Please do something about this. And if any more information, let me know. They're trying to take everything away from him, including prom and graduation. For showing their inadequacies.
Starting point is 01:11:50 Right. For shining a light. On their failure. Yes. On adults. Failure. You became a teacher because apparently you can. about the youth. That's the story you all say, but look at the result you're producing.
Starting point is 01:12:05 And I'm not saying all teachers are bad. There's still some really good ones, but the, the bad ones certainly are outweighing the good ones at this point in time. And what we really need to happen is some of these good teachers to stand up and say, we are failing these kids, we are ruining their lives by our own apathetic nature and our willingness to just sit by and let these people coast. And then they will say, well, these kids don't try. Well, part of being a teacher is making them understand why they should try. Part of being a teacher is making them understand why they should go out and work hard and become something and learn skills and work to create a better life for themselves. These people, they love to posture about how we're taking care of the youth and we're the leaders of the youth and we're responsible for the youth.
Starting point is 01:12:54 Well, if that's the truth and you really care about those things, then why can people? people not read? Why can they not comprehend basic shit? Why are we removing accountability for testing in some areas of the Cal like California where people aren't even required to test out anymore? And they're saying because tests are racist. No, you are inept. And in fact, the fact that you even say they're racist makes you a racist because that
Starting point is 01:13:26 means that you believe that the people who are. black in this case cannot do they do not possess the skills to improve that's what you're saying yeah right so these black kids that you say you care about so much you don't even want to hold them to a standard because you don't believe that they can hold it because they're black that's right that's the most racist shit that they're fucking is right okay so like we got to be real about this we have a bunch of people who are political activists as opposed to actually caring about improving people And again, that's not all teachers, but it's enough to be really fucking everybody up. Well, I mean, to your point, and these people get out into the real world, you know who they become?
Starting point is 01:14:06 They become the mayor of Philly. I'm going to show you a clip. This is the mayor of Philadelphia at an Eagles party. She's about to spell Eagles. Oh, gee! I've seen this. Well, and that's the reason the DEI shouldn't exist. Okay?
Starting point is 01:14:35 You can't put people in positions of any sort. because they happen to be of a certain, you know, race or gender. It has to be meritocracy, and the destruction of meritocracy is what's created this fucking shit show that we all live in. It makes me really nervous, dude. It makes me really nervous about, like, going to doctors and, like, you know, airline pilots and things of that nature. Like, we are not rewarding the best and brightest, which is what this country has founded upon. now for the last 15 years we've been rewarding people because of their skin color or because of you know they're a woman or because they're gay or because they're because they're because
Starting point is 01:15:16 there and the truth of the matter is that fucking hurts everybody that doesn't that hurts everybody people die because of those things all right so this idea that we abandoned meritocracy is it needs to end immediately and i know i know that trump has ended those programs, but now we have another 10 years to wait until we see the fruits of that. And in the time of that, it could be reinstated. So this whole everything that was DEI dude is inherently racist. Yeah. Because yeah, because what it says is that these people are not smart enough to do it on
Starting point is 01:15:57 their own. They're not, they're not capable of becoming. And that is not fucking true. That is a complete lie. And when you teach kids this from the time, you know, they're in kindergarten until they graduate college, they have no incentive to actually improve because they know that they can game the system to get the position anyway. And now we're all dealing with the repercussions of this. And fuck, man, like, I think it's the most racist shit ever. Like, it's like, I don't know, man.
Starting point is 01:16:31 I think, I think people have caught on to. how racist it is. But still, man, there's a lot of people to have it. Yeah. Well, not only how racist it is, but what it's actually going to create is actually real, more racist, like more real racism is what it creates. Well, that's what? Now I'm going to go to the doctor's office and like,
Starting point is 01:16:49 for a black doctor, I'm going to think twice. I might even walk the fuck out. I just want to fuck. That's you as a black man. That's, you know, you don't, like it's a real fucking thing. Yeah, man. Like, dude, it's scary. In this situation, with this specific school, fire everybody.
Starting point is 01:17:04 Yeah, fire everybody. Yeah. Start fresh. Well, then what's going to happen with the kids? Fuck, man. It can't get worse. Yeah. Fuck.
Starting point is 01:17:11 Shit. You know what I'm saying? You've already ruined them. You couldn't do any worse. They can't even read. They're in fucking high school. They're not going to be prepared. Well, I mean, fuck.
Starting point is 01:17:20 I mean, come on, man. Like, what are we doing, dude? I feel bad for those kids, man. And that's the other thing, too. Like, you know, and I want to make this clear. It's not. It's not their fault in a sense. They have, no, because they've been told,
Starting point is 01:17:32 listen, man. we talk about this on Q&AF a lot. When you're young, you do not have the perspective of how it should be. You only know what is. So when you're young and those people are going to school and they hear, you know, I'm in high school and they hear the stories of their parents
Starting point is 01:17:54 or their grandparents being in high school, they don't understand the difference because they didn't see it. So they think, oh, this is normal. It's normal to, to not be able to read. It's normal to not be able to do math. You know, it's normal.
Starting point is 01:18:08 And they don't understand that it's not. And they don't understand, and this is the fucking sad part. They don't understand that they're going to have to take this into their own hands. And those of you who are parents, you need to understand this. Your kids are not going to learn shit from the school system. Okay. They're not going to learn anything. In fact, I think it's going to handicap them.
Starting point is 01:18:31 And, you know, people are like, well, Although they'll become weird. But how much weirder can you be than not be able to read a fucking simple sentence and not know what it means? That's pretty weird. Or figure out what the tip is on a fucking, on a fucking check at a restaurant.
Starting point is 01:18:46 Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Without pulling out the calculator. Yeah. It's just, it's a big problem, man. It's sad. And I think all the teachers
Starting point is 01:18:55 who teach these kids should be totally ashamed of themselves. Totally. But they're not. No. They're not. I'll say, what's the response to? Yeah, they're not.
Starting point is 01:19:06 No, the response is to defend it. Let's punish the kid who fucking called it out. Yeah. How about that? Yeah. Yeah, that's fucking bullshit. It is bullshit. On the flip side, we also, I saw an example of how it should be done.
Starting point is 01:19:19 I sent you a link which you, if you can pull up, there is a school in Greystone's Ireland. The principal started this initiative of no phones in the school. Yeah. And you know how it's, it's told that every, it takes a very, it takes a very, village to take a movement. It takes a village. So they named the movement it takes a village.
Starting point is 01:19:40 And everybody in the village is participating. They're bought into it. They're bought into it. So if a kid goes to a convenience store, the adults hide their phones. They don't engage with kids with phones around that.
Starting point is 01:19:53 If you go to the next slide, so this is a 12 year old kid in that school and he says that I want to live long and stay healthy and he prefers collecting special coins to scrolling on a phone. He does not currently have a smart device and worries that owning one might affect his health. That's a smart young man. And if you go next and next, this is the principal that started
Starting point is 01:20:15 the movement. And they are trying to encourage kids just spending their childhood without phones, without social media, and everybody in that city is kind of feeding into it. Yeah, well, that's racist. Yeah, super racist. Yeah. What's Muhammad going to do when he came Well, I mean, if they did it, you know, Muhammad Muhammad wouldn't be able to tell little Muhammad how to bomb a school. I'm just playing my Muslim brothers. Shit, man.
Starting point is 01:20:54 Guys, jump in on this conversation, man. Let us know what you guys think down in the comments. You know what I'm saying? But for real? Oh, I know what you're saying. These kids wouldn't be reading this shit on the internet. They wouldn't know what, you know, part of the reason that in my age, everybody gets along is because the only influence you have was right in front of your face. Okay.
Starting point is 01:21:14 But now you're reading all this shit online. You're seeing all these people say this and that and this. And then you have all these politicized teachers who think that they're, you know, some sort of activist. It's, it's disgusting. Yeah. Sick, man. It's sad. And both kids and parents need to understand.
Starting point is 01:21:32 that if you want to make it, you have to take responsibility for your own learning. You have to. You have to. You have to. You cannot rely on some apathetic teacher who works with purple hair. Who works, you know, three quarters of the year and gets three months off and collects this and that. It's got to end, man.
Starting point is 01:21:58 Yeah. And it sucks too, man, because like, dude, I had some really good teachers. I did too. I also had some shitty ones. I had some shitty ones. Yeah. But I had some really, really good teachers, dude. And like, dude, I honestly, I don't, I don't know what it's like out there right now.
Starting point is 01:22:12 I really don't. Like, I know my daughter's school like it's good. You know, they're great teachers, really, really good teachers. But I know they're also paid and they're taking care of. And it's, you know what I'm saying? But it's just like, dude, it just sucks, man. Yeah. It sucks.
Starting point is 01:22:23 It's a tough problem. Well, also, and let's be real. Okay. Let's let's even like take this further. Yeah. This is another product of, of democratic policy coming into the inner city and promising all this funding and all of these things
Starting point is 01:22:41 that they're gonna do and then intentionally withholding funds or embezzling funds or redirecting funds into their own pockets intentionally so that they don't get the money and then create more of a problem so that they could come in every two years and be like look what they're doing to you. Motherfucker, you're doing. doing that.
Starting point is 01:23:04 That's right. You're doing that. The people who come into your community every single fucking two years and say, we're going to fix all these problems. They're the ones creating these problems for these inner cities. And that's wrong. And it happens way more in the inner city than it does outside the inner city. So if you want to talk about like unfairness, yes, it's unfair.
Starting point is 01:23:26 But you keep believing the same people who tell you they're going to fix it. And you also keep believing that white. over there is the problem. It's the root of all your problems. Yeah. It's not true. Also, too, dude, it's not a funding issue, honestly. Because, I mean, if you really pull back the numbers and I probably guess how much the
Starting point is 01:23:46 school takes in every, it's not a funding problem. The problem is allocation and where they choose to spend the shit and how they choose to spend the shit and where the shit goes. Like, dude, it's fucking terrible, dude. That's kind of what I mean. I think there should be some standards where it's like, you know, like, yeah, if you don't qualify, if your students don't test out, if they don't do this. you don't get the fucking funds.
Starting point is 01:24:04 Yeah. Not only that, dude, like if you do. Or you lose your job. And if they do pass, you get a bonus. How come teachers aren't held to the line on how their kids perform? If teachers were held accountable for how their kids perform, we would see some kids learn how to perform.
Starting point is 01:24:23 Yeah. For real. You got to put some skin in the game. Okay. Like a coach that doesn't win, it's fired. That's right. A teacher that doesn't produce good students should be fired. Okay.
Starting point is 01:24:33 That's the bottom line, the lack of accountability. And that lack of accountability goes to the teacher, to the principal, to the government officials that come in every two years and lie. It goes all the way up the chain. But there's a lack of accountability. And that's the reason that things are falling apart. And these kids will have their lives ruined because of that. And that is fucked up, man. That is fucked up.

So what they had, and I don't know if they still do this, but they had a lock-in. All right. Yeah, that was the day we graduated high school. That's me and Chris.
Starting point is 01:27:24 Hell yeah, bro. Yeah. My hair was way longer than that, though, after that. But, um, the, they did a lock-in-up. in and the lock in was so that you didn't go out and get fucked up crash your car because back then that's when people would really like have their accident that's smart though yeah that's smart so they had a lock in um and then prom was a different day but yeah man it was uh I think we drank a lot more than the kids drink now also like that was all you did yeah you know it was all that's available
Starting point is 01:27:54 I don't even know kids still do that they still they still drinking shit I don't know you're asking the wrong person yeah I don't know I don't know I don't know. We didn't even have proms. Yeah. It's American thing. We just ride the goat. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 01:28:13 Okay, well, guys, it's prom season here in the United States. And, you know, this is always a fun time of the year because everybody's posting the shit and the prom videos and stuff like that. And this one in particular is getting a little topic. It's getting some trendy, trendy topics here. Headline reads, Young Man arrives to. prom on an airport tarmac with a private jet and two supercars. Okay. How do you arrive to prom on an airport tarmac?
Starting point is 01:28:44 Is prom at the airport? That's right. I think they went to them Philadelphia schools. I mean, it's a world star. I mean, yeah. But yeah, this young man took prom to another level, arriving in a white designer suit with two supercars and a private jet,
Starting point is 01:28:56 reminding everyone that this ain't your average, average prom night. Let's check this clip out. What's that on your wrist? Yeah, what kind of shoes them is? Yeah, don't play with them. I've done everything. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:37 We got to go to the comments. Bring them on. Caleb, Caleb says, I arrived and at my prom with $40 in my pocket and drove a freshly clean, 1989 Toyota Carolla, and had the best time of my life.
Starting point is 01:29:54 Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Over on Twitter. All this just to go to prison a year later. I can't lie. I was kind of thinking to say. All this flexing just to take Burger King orders.
Starting point is 01:30:11 Dude, it's been hot. It's been hot, man. And, uh, you know, a lot of people have a lot to say about black prom. Bro, it's a, it's a hot topic. Yeah. It's a hot topic, dude. And I saw something that really made sense, man. And it was, it really, it really made me feel bad.
Starting point is 01:30:28 someone had written that or did a video that black prom is so overdone because most of these kids will not have weddings and not like oh fuck yeah and it it was just like I mean people were mad about it and you know people were defensive and I understand that but Dude, that sucks. It's sad. That's crazy. That we shouldn't even be thinking things like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:08 That should not be things. But it's not, that doesn't mean that like there's no truth to it. Yeah. You know. There's truth to it, dude. I mean,
Starting point is 01:31:16 the other true unfortunate factors I can do. A lot of them may not even live. That's what I'm saying. And especially this dude, like, look, dude, that, dude, it sucks.
Starting point is 01:31:25 Look, man. If you're going to fucking present yourself that way, you have to have your head on a swivel at all times. Yeah. I have to, and I've earned everything I have. And you don't think that other young men there are going to feel like this guy's trying to show them up. And the only way they know how to handle that is through some sort of violence. That's the kind of, we're dealing with, we're dealing with very immature thinking.
Starting point is 01:31:52 And we're dealing with a lot of hormones. And we're dealing with a culture that is negative. And we're dealing with, you know, men who don't know how to deal with jealousy. and like he doesn't know that. You know, when he's got whether that's fake or not, his watch, I'm sure it is.
Starting point is 01:32:11 Yeah. And I mean, you know, it is what it is. Yeah. Like you don't really understand like, and that's the danger of like having fast success because you don't know the things that kind of happen to you
Starting point is 01:32:31 or how to handle them along the way. You know, know people do fucking hate people that show them up they fucking hate it okay I know that firsthand because it gets misinterpreted a lot for me I'm not trying to show people up I'm trying to fucking show people what the fuck is possible yeah because but they don't know where I've come from yeah right right so it a lot of times it's misinterpreted but I also understand that and I understand how people can be and I've dealt with that for years and years and years I mean dude I had one of my best
Starting point is 01:33:04 Like, man, look, I actually think this is dangerous. Like, at what level? You know what I'm saying? Like, dude, I had, so I had to go to two primes. Mine, and then the girl I was dating at the time, she went to a different high school. So we did both. We did my prom and then her prom.
Starting point is 01:33:20 Same for me. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, I think for my prime, I used her mom's car, but then for her prom, I think we ended up getting a limo or something like that. But, like, it wasn't nothing fucking crazy. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:32 But like, dude, this is, this shit's out of hand nowadays, bro. It's out of hand. It's out. Dude, now, now, I don't know the young man. He could be a very smart dude. He could have a really good GPA. He could have fucking, I'll be real. He didn't even look comfortable doing it.
Starting point is 01:33:46 No. No. And that's the thing, guys. Like, you don't have to go do all this shit. No. Like, bro, I'm telling you, and this is, I love success. I've worked very hard for the life that I have. I'm very proud of what I'm.
Starting point is 01:34:02 I've done. I'm proud what I've done to get there. I feel like I've done it in a way that I can be proud of. Yeah. But at the end of the day, man, the things that make me happy are still the things that made me happy when I was that kid's age, hanging out with my friends, doing things, like what we did yesterday is fucking riding around, fucking around, you know, like, what we do. Oh, we went to, we went to O'Reilly's to change your battery in the parking lot.
Starting point is 01:34:29 It was sick. Yeah. It was actually pretty fun. It was a great time. Yeah. Like, we're standing out. out in the sun and it's hot and we're digging into DJ's bike and we're figuring out the thing and you know I was warned not to steal you know we were in there dude in this old day and he looks
Starting point is 01:34:44 at DJ and he goes DJ was asking he's like hey man can up I can borrow the tools and he's like don't run off with him you know what I had to do you saw what I had to do I had to give him the white the white guy wink he's with me that's right I got this one you read the gang Yeah, that's right. That's right. So, but, but dude, you know, just simple shit, man. Like, you guys don't need to be in a rush to have all this shit. You don't need to be in a rush to, you know, you're not proving anything to anybody, bro.
Starting point is 01:35:15 Like the shit I have, I don't, that's not me proving things. Those are the things I have earned and I like enjoy them. Although those of you that follow me, you know I'm into anything with motors. I'm in, I'm into cars. I'm into tractors. I'm into motorcycles. That's just what the fuck I'm into. If I wasn't into that shit,
Starting point is 01:35:37 I mean, where in my life do you see me, like, doing that kind of shit in other places? Right. Right? Like, it's just, these are things that I do for me.
Starting point is 01:35:45 And this idea that you have to do all this shit to be somebody is, is just, it's not true, man. And it's not going to actually make you happier. It's just not. It's going to be exciting. It's going to be fun for a little bit.
Starting point is 01:35:58 But, like, when it becomes your, your whole existence to, like try and flex like dude it's just you're not even being authentic to who you are bro Jim Kerry has a very famous quote on this very topic that you're talking about he said something along the lines of I wish everyone gets to get all the money and all the fame yes so that they know that that's not the answer to your happiness and fulfillment correct correct it's such a great quote I'm familiar with it but you know this is uh yeah I'm actually worried
Starting point is 01:36:29 about this kid because like dude you're front and in front of all these dudes who know you're going to you're going to deal with a lot of shit because of it yep it ain't cool bro at 17 no it's certainly not it's it looks you look like a clown and it's just like all these internet quote unquote entrepreneurs that try to like they're you know they they load this billionaire lifestyle when they're 22 and then their whole thing is this and this and this by 22 and then the next week it's you know oh well you know you know i decided to change my mom actually the car got repoed. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:37:02 Like these people, look, man, the fun is the earning it. The fun is the building. The fun is the creating. The things that are going to fulfill you is actually the process. But again, you can't understand that when you haven't been through it. Just like that quote you just said. I don't like this at all. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:28 Thumbs down. Yeah. And it's not a hater shit. Yeah. Okay? Like, there's no. jealousy here motherfucker like I got a car that's worth more than all three of those motherfucking things together.
Starting point is 01:37:37 And I got 40 fucking cars. So like it's not what is I don't even know what is that a people is that a McLaren that that's a McLaren yeah and a hurricane next to it. But like the point is is like dude you're not even going to love the shit unless you earned it like that's the truth like all these little scammer dudes on the internet. They're not happy bro they're not they're fucking terrifying. of being exposed. And that's why they flex so hard.
Starting point is 01:38:07 It's a whole different level of anxiety too. Yeah, bro. Like, it's just like, and dude, they don't understand that by the further they push it, the more exposed they are. You got to keep up with it now. It's like, bro. Do the things that you like, man. Experience the things that you're into.
Starting point is 01:38:20 And by the way, it takes experiencing all of the things to understand what you like. That's right. Okay. So like for me, people are always confused. Like they say, well, what's your favorite car? And what do I always say? It's Shurville. It's not even close.
Starting point is 01:38:34 Yeah. It's not even close. I could give two fucks about every single other car I have besides my Chabelle. Okay. But that's because I know what all the other shit's about. And I know what makes me literally happy when I drive it and how I like it and what feels like me, right? And so it is important, like Jim Carrey said, to experience all these things so that you have the perspective.
Starting point is 01:38:58 But you should also experience the earning of these things so that it, build your own self-worth along the way, right? Amen. Unconfidence is calm. The fake ones are loud. Yes. They are like always flashing. Some real dudes are loud too.
Starting point is 01:39:15 Kana McGregor's loud. But that's just, he's just that guy. That's kind of McGrath. And like real talk, dude, I kind of like acting like that sometimes too because it's fun. All right. And I can. I could fucking say fuck you to just about anybody on the planet and I have to worry about shit.
Starting point is 01:39:29 And I like that sometimes. But it's always authentic. It's just, it's, you know what I'm saying? And people understand it too, because they've seen your track record, they've seen his track record. So they understand, okay, this person is like that. Yeah. But when a 17 or a 20 year old. Bro, if I were to put my arm around that kid, I'd say, hey, man, you don't need this shit, dude, right now.
Starting point is 01:39:49 Here's what you need to be doing. And he'd probably be like, what are you talking about? And he wouldn't be able to. You know what I'm saying? No, I'm not saying it like that. I'm saying if he could read. And he could comprehend. Because we know that if he's from Philadelphia, he cannot.
Starting point is 01:40:07 Statistic. And by the way, I love Philadelphia. They're my kind of people. It's the city of brotherly love. And if you know what brotherly love about is you beat the fuck out of each other and then you're still friends. That's right. So I like Philadelphia. I really like it.
Starting point is 01:40:19 I'm actually rooting for the flyers right now because the blues are out of the playoffs. But if I could talk to this kid and just be like, look, dude, you know who I admire that does these things is Jason Wilson. Oh, yeah. Jason Wilson does such a good job with young men Far better than I could ever do And it's something I really admire about him And I just Yeah man
Starting point is 01:40:48 It kind of bums me out if I'm being real Yeah You know it's you want to shine You want to be a big deal But you want to be a big deal for something That you did Yeah Not just because
Starting point is 01:41:00 And it comes into that That even flows into the discussion of like Entitlement it, right? Like we've gotten to this place where people, I mean, fuck dude, I don't know enough about this kid. Maybe he created Apple 12 years old. Maybe that's all his own shit.
Starting point is 01:41:16 Yeah, maybe. I'm making assumptions. But I don't think that's the case. No. And if it is, good for him. Congratulations. But he sure didn't seem very comfortable with the attention. And that's a whole other thing.
Starting point is 01:41:29 Like, why do you even have the shit if you're not comfortable with the shit? Yeah, right. You know, like. Well, it's like taking the shit in somebody else's house. Yeah, it's never comfortable. They don't feel right. Yeah. Because they need your house.
Starting point is 01:41:44 What's even worse is, as well, I don't have the same fleshing horse power as your house. And then you miss, you underestimate their power and now you've got a problem. Yeah. Okay. And then you look around. There's no plunger. Oh, that's fine. Now you're really fucked.
Starting point is 01:41:57 That's bad. Okay. But yeah, it's very similar. Very similar. Yeah. But man, you know, no hate on this dude. You look good. You look good.
Starting point is 01:42:04 look like you're trying to look, man. But just remember, like, it's only going to mean something if you earn it. Yeah, bro. We got to earn it up. Yeah. Well, hell yeah, man. Well, guys.
Starting point is 01:42:16 Andy, that's all I got. Yep. All right, guys. Well, we will see you on Friday. Have a good week. Don't be a ho. Sure. Sure.
