That's your least favorite my it's probably my least favorite thing in life Is when that happens that's your least favorite thing that's my least favorite thing mine is Inequality inequality starting children Well mines when P goes to two different directions Then you got to wipe it up, but when I was coming down the stairs. I saw one of our Sweet sweet producers and I said hey, you look tired tired and no I know and I felt bad but he did he looked tired as shit and then and I remembered like 10-15 years ago I was seeing a band my favorite band at the time called of Montreal at the Fox Theatre in Pomona and

I I felt like I was making a connection with the keyboard girl the whole show because I was like in the front and she's like looking down and I'm like, oh my god, oh my gosh, she's so cute. And then after the show, my friends and I waited outside the venue to like meet the band. There was nobody else around and they came out and I like, you know, a mentor and the only thing I could think to say was to her was, hey, are you okay? She's like, why? And I was like, you look pretty tired up there. Did you just read the game by Neil Strauss? And you had even come out.

I'm a mad advanced. I was just, it's innate. And now she's your wife. No, she's not, but she, I remember she laughed and definitely her attitude changed to like, huh, that's a strange thing to say, but she didn't say that.

She just said, I guess, yeah, I'm probably pretty tired from being on tour. And then they were like, okay, we're going to go get pizza. Nice to meet you guys. And my friends were all just, they let me know how stupid that was. And I just, that poor woman, then I smoked some weed in the whole ride home. I was like, what's she hates me? And she's stupid. That poor musician just wanted to play a show.

Poor musician just wanted to play a show. She's getting accosted by some sweaty teen. Wasn't sweaty. I did a big hair. I had a huge hair. Wait, did you watch the Beatles doc? I started it. Yeah, it's wild. It's so good.

They're so there's I'm not used to seeing them in high-def HD. And it just makes me want to hang out with my friends and smoke cigarettes and drink beer. And play guitar? Yeah. Yeah, that'd be nice. Check the disclaimer in the box down there, please. I wish we had to film this over hours.

We could just have producers bring us cigarettes. Oh, man. Can you remember cigarettes? Don't smoke cigarettes. Oh, I do. I used to film this over hours. And we could just have producers bring us cigarettes. Oh man. Can you remember cigarettes? Don't smoke cigarettes. Oh, I do. I used to smoke cigarettes. Man. Oh yeah, I love them.

But then you just go, what am I doing? I'm killing myself. Yeah, yeah. I just enjoyed it for a little bit in my early 20s, late teens, and then I stopped. I started when I was young. That's how anyone who gets into cigarettes when they're like older, what are you doing?

Well, you're getting, I don't know. Hey, we hit a thousand followers on TikTok. Oh, we did hit a thousand followers. And you did a special dance. We did a special little dance. What dance was that? It was the Doji Cat, Kiss Me More. The Doji Cat Kiss Me More.

I don't know if it has a name. Is it Doji Cat's dance or is it a dance that was created like on TikTok? Look, I don't know enough about it. We hit, I don't really use TikTok. We hit a thousand. I had to find a dance. A lot of one that was somewhat difficult. So it was worthwhile.

You know, I said I would do it after a thousand. Do you remember any of the moves? Could you do it right now? Or did you make a minute for memory? No, I could do it. It was so, I don't think it'll ever leave my memory. It was like, it was the hardest thing I ever did. The hardest thing ever did. No, it was so hard. It was I truly was we hit a thousand and I was like I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna learn it this weekend. I was

like I'll watch it and it took you way longer than a week. Yeah. Well I was like I'm gonna wash it out Friday and film it on Saturday. Oh here it is. Got pulled up. You're on a park bench. No, it's a... Yeah. Ready? Dude, dude, side to side, hump. I have a head bump. Oh, it's hot.

Oh, there's so many moves. Dude, it's insane. So I had to... I, it was also so embarrassing because my girlfriend was gonna film it. And then I showed her what I had on like Friday night and I've never seen her look at me like that She I think she thought there was like something wrong with me I think she thought I had maybe a developmental disability or something. It's what you had no rhythm

I just I've never tried to do choreography before it. It's just like did not Fucking work. I so then I had to spend an entire week, I finally said I wrote down every move. I broke it down. Yeah, I was like, okay, swing around and I had names for them all. It broke it into 15 different moves. And then it just took me another two weeks just to remember it all. Jesus, God, man. Yeah, I don't know how the teens do it. And you don't even like smoke weed or anything. What would that have to do with that? It makes you forgetful. Oh that? It makes you forgetful. Oh.

Famously weed makes you forgetful. Yeah, I don't know. I got a funny dance move that I, so back in Hebrew school, you know, we're going to Bar Miss was a Spartan bout Miss was all the damn time. And my best friend, Bo, and I insisted on, I don't know whose idea it was, I think it was his, but we made our own dance routine to the entire bad touch song. Bad touch.

You know, you and me, baby, ain't nothing but mammals, so let's do it like, we had a whole dance routine where it was like facing each other kind of thing and we performed it a couple times and yeah, it was to it. For me, it was to impress Elana Ratman. I had a crush on her and I'm gonna do this dance. I'm gonna march right up to her and tell her she looks tired. No, I did, I did buy her a Roxy clock from Tilly's for Hanukkah or her birthday.

No, it was Hanukkah because both happy Hanukkah, by the way. Thanks, man. Yeah. No, sorry. I missed it. Oh, it's still going. Yeah, I know. I should be on the first night.

Hey, while speaking of the dancing, because it's episode 10, I feel like the people out there finally, we should throw them some breadcrumbs. Well, I'm getting a little bit about who you are. I also feel weird. I feel like, you know, it was just supposed to be a little joke. I didn't think people would care that much, but now I get messages like tell me who you are. And, and I'm starting to feel like I'm playing some kind of six psychosexual game with our audience. No. What is a meal short for Emilio? No, it's just a meal. Or is this the same in the face? It is short for something.

What? I'll tell you off, I'll be right there. Okay. If people like to call you a meal or a snack, which is funny. Yeah, I like them to call me a snack. I feel like that means they're calling me hot. Yeah, that's what that means, buddy.

Yeah, they just call me Ben. My dad used to call me Ben Dover. Nice. Yeah, he actually wanted my building. Does that make me call me email? means, buddy. Yeah, they just call me Ben. My dad used to call me Ben Dover. Nice. Yeah, he actually wanted my building. Some people call me email. Yeah, email. All right, what do these, I don't even know, I think the problem is,

I think they are assuming I have a story like yours where they're like, oh, meal must have a crazy stock story or something or like, you know, I flipped a dead grandmother into a million bucks or something, but I didn't do it. That is not how I would characterize my experience. I'm giving the bullet boys. Did I flip my dead grandma?

That's kind of what I have. Grimmargy, I'm sorry. Or maybe you're down, not down like in hell, but like, you know, from Australia's perspective, that's up. But I would, you know, I don't know what they want to know. I don't have a crazy story for them. I'm from New Jersey. You guys say anything bad about New Jersey.

I'll, I'll, you know, beat them up because New Jersey's cool. No, just no reason to trash New Jersey. People do trash it. They love to. They love to. Where are you guys from? A dumb state like Connecticut? yeah one of the Dakotas

Make up your mind are you so upper lower North South you only or whoops You only exist because they needed more governors just kidding my grandma other the the one who's still alive That is why they split the Dakotas into two. I know so So they could get four senators. Yeah, my grandma's from North Dakota. They represent like 600,000 people total. It's insane. Um, no, wait, no ums today. We can't, I can't, I can't make, we're both trying to get rid of ums and likes and,

yes, I was just, yeah. What else does the people want to know? I'm kind of a lawyer. Kind of a lawyer. Not like Kim Kardashian in the way she's, she didn't even make it. No, she, I actually, I'm kind of a lawyer. I'm kind of a lawyer. Not like Kim Kardashian in the way she's. She didn't even make it. No, I actually went to law school, passed the bar. I'm just, look at me, I'm not really a lawyer.

You'd be a lawyer, you're like Matt McConaughey in the Lincoln Lawyer, you're a cool lawyer. I do some, you know, I most of do some like pro bono legal aid stuff for a legal aid place here. Cool. Ben and me, we're similar in that we both do comedy stuff, but we had these other lives. Yeah.

But yeah, I had a great comedy show in LA. We're hoping to start it back up. We'll let you guys know if it starts back up. That's called Tuck Shop Comedy. Most fun comedy show in LA. It really was. And although I don't know if I wanna have all these people at my house, that might be crazy.

What, you got a cap? Yeah. What else do these people wanna know about me? Keep dropping lumps. Am I on my hat? You're new, you just want, um. We'll bleep it out. That would be really funny if we bleeped up.

Bleep my ass. See, I just did it. It's hard. This stuff's hard. This is a form of broadcast, and we are not broadcast professionals. I'm an aspiring broadcast professional. Now we are. You know what the hardest thing in broadcasting is talking up a song before the lyrics start?

Coming up, KBWB, it's Bill Leather, the boarded. He could be a broadcaster. I would. To be such a stellar broadcaster. Humble too. He's from New Jersey, he's a lawyer sort of comedian, lives in Los Angeles, and we carpool. We carpool. I wanted to, we wanted to cold open with the SpaceX email that leaked from Elon Musk.

The richest man in the world asking you to come in on weekends. Yeah. I'm Thanksgiving weekend. This is from electric.co, which is, I don't know what the hell this thing is. It's like the main gossip rag for Tesla and all things Elon Musk, they seem to be the ones that always break the story, or at least are the ones who are referenced every time. But this is, I'm reading the text of this tweet.

This is allegedly the text of Musk's SpaceX email. In short, a bunch of senior executives left turns out development is way behind or in proper English. The goal is far beyond SpaceX's capabilities. And unless miraculous efforts are made, SpaceX might go bankrupt this year. So then they've got the text allegedly. I'm pretty sure this is real from Elon Musk, his email to the company. Bless you.

Someone just sneezed. Was that a sneeze? Bless you. So I wanted to try to read it as Elon Musk. Can I give it a shot? Should I give it a shot? Oh, yeah. I'm not gonna stop here. Okay. Unfortunately, the raptor production crisis is much worse than it had seemed a few weeks ago. As we have dug into the issues following the exit of prior senior and gate senior management, they have unfortunately turned out to be far far worse to be the worst reported there's ho ho ho ho there is no way to show go-koters. I was going to take this weekend off

as my first weekend off in a long time, but instead I will be on the Raptor line all night and through the weekend. Unless you have critical family matters, or cannot physically return to Hawthorne, or we will need all hands on deck to recover from what is quite frankly a disaster. What it comes down to is that we face a genuine risk of bankruptcy if we can't achieve a Starship flight rate of at least once every two weeks next year. Oh, thanks Elon.

Oh, are you worried about him? No, every time Elon Musk, like, I feel like he's baiting all of his critics and all of the testless. He's like, he's a drama. Yeah, he likes to like, there's no genuine risk of bankruptcy. Even if there was a genuine risk of bankruptcy, there's so many people, all they would have to do is go public. Go public and raise money. Like if, even if SpaceX said we are losing a ton of money

and we're about to go bankrupt, they could file for an IPO at a hundred billion dollar valuation and people would probably bid it up to 200 billion. Just like, I mean, look at Rivian. Right. Yeah, he loves, he did the same kind of shit with Tesla. He likes to draw miles. I think he likes to light a fire under his employees' asses

and be like, you live here. That's what he does. I remember, I think it was with Tesla. He was like, oh, I like live at the factory, actually. I don't have a, well, I think, and with Bernie Sanders was, I think he said the same thing when Bernie Sanders was telling him to pay his taxes. He's like, I live at a factory. Oh, it's's like, I live in a factory. That's so sad.

I live in a factory. That's the thing. It's like, dude, factories are huge, dude. How many bathrooms you got in that year? Did you turn into a cool loft? Yeah. Kids living like the kid in big. What do you think he eats?

I don't know. I'd be too obvious to say, um... What's that? Soilin. Yeah, soilin. My friend dated the guy who founded Soilin. How'd that go? Well, it didn't work out.

I think she said he was nice but kind of weird. Oh, that's good. And then there was something that happened. There was something that occurred, and I don't remember what it was. I don't think it was very embarrassing for him, but I do know that he's, yeah, he's definitely a weirdo. Man, all you got to do is put, who would have thought you'd call it, Soilant? I don't know. I mean, it's the movie. Yeah, but nobody knows the movie. That's so weird. I know.

It's people. It's stupid. It's a pretty awful pretty awful. It indicates that you're drinking people. Yeah, and it also tastes like crap when I I started because I used to when I was like trying to bulk Yoko you look big though. Thanks man in 2017. No, this isn't so I went. This is natural. I'm natty. I claim natty I ain't got it. I ain't got it. Wait, have you ever seen, I just found out about this guy. I don't want to go off the rails, but have you ever seen the liver king? I wanted to wait to talk about liver king. I lost my mind. Yeah, it's, we're going to have to save it because I do want to talk about liver king.

I was like, we'll talk about liver king. It's because I have the same way. But it drove me, I almost checked myself into a mental hospital Never King live a king here. We got a little about the tribe. Yeah, the tribe wouldn't mean my tribe do on a daily basis We pay our respects to our ancestors. I started I started putting back in what the modern world left out We're gonna discover the campaign. We'll have to go, but it's too much. We're all so good.

Like, we're gonna have to do a whole segment. Sorry, you just reminded me of what you did. And forget about the soy milk tangent. That's stupid. Yes. Oh, woo. You hear Jack Dorsey step down. Oh, I heard bud.

And it's funny, because I woke up late, and the stock was up big at first because of it, because the stock is kind of floundered the entire time That he's been CEO for the last 10 years before that you know who the CEO was a guy named Dick Costalo who was a comedian Interesting. Yeah, he was like a comedian or something like an improv comedian I don't know and it's annoying reading the Wikipedia pages of people like this where it's like okay Wow, that's inspirational. How can I learn more about how this guy went from being a comedian to the CEO of God Damn Twitter?

And then you go and it's like, Costalo was in college and did improv and comedy. And then, and then he was CEO of Twitter. It's like, give me the fucking detail. I take the missing link, might be rich parents. I doubt. How do rich parents get you to be the CEO of? I don't know. Sometimes I'm always, and then you get to like personal life and it's like his dad is billionaire curl that's the

curl yeah and it curls that's a billionaire an oil billionaire no less I thought it was real estate oh it is they probably got their hands on all kinds of things get a diversify so Jack Dorsey of course posted his resignation from on from Twitter on Twitter I won't read the whole thing but he talks about he gets to go live out his wildest crypto dreams. Yeah, he's become quite the crypto, the specifically Bitcoin. He's not like an Ethereum guy, I don't think. He really does like Bitcoin, because he's always been a programmer. He like helped, he built an app for taxi.

What's it called when you're? Uber. No, no, no, no, no. What is it called when you're the lady, or the operator who, the dispatch, it was like a taxi dispatch app that he wanted to create for New York that was basically the short text bursts and then that was the genesis of Twitter because he was always inspired by and loved.

Oh, I love how they communicate or something. I hate, I sometimes get so annoyed by tech of like, sometimes, yeah, I guess a lot. It's just when it's just like, we're gonna take this thing that exists and create an app that's annoying to use. Yeah. And now you just have to use that.

I just remember I went ice skating and I was like, can I put my stuff in a locker? And they were like, they were like, no, the system's down and you have to use an app to use the locker and I was like, hundreds of years, you just gave out the stupid lock and I put it around my wrist and I would go ice skating. Yeah.

And now I've got to risk my shit getting stolen because you were like, wouldn't it be fun if we just did an app based locker. Yeah. And now I've got to risk my shit getting stolen. Cause you were like, wouldn't it be fun if we just did an app based locker? Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty annoying. Like how I read that Uber was exploring the concept of buses. Right.

Basically, it's always fun when it's like, Uber's exploring a new large carpool system where people would go to designated pick up locations. Designed drop up locations. And then people are like, wow, you mean buses? You mean public transport? Yeah, you freak. Yeah, it's great.

But Jack Dorsey has officially resigned from Twitter. He's going to be focusing his attention. I mean, I don't think he even specifies where he's going to be focusing attention, but he did say he was at the Bitcoin conference in Miami a few weeks ago and did he basically said that if he could, he would spend all his time. Yeah, well, he already, he already changed the name of Square to block. Yes, block, which is short for blockchain. Oh, man, that was a perfect room for a joke man. Oh block I don't know I can't think of one but oh so you were just hoping I had yeah I was hoping that you the comedian for short for blockhead because that guy's got a fucking blockhead he does kind of have a

blockhead got weird head he's got a weird beard got a weird tattoo you know he used to be a model really yeah he was I think it was when he was already Twitter guy though, because it was like, oh, he's handsome and a billionaire. It's also a no, he loves to talk about how all the stuff, all the finance and tech should be decentralized and he's literally, and he's realizing it. Well, no, and he's like, it just shouldn't be in the hands

of the wealthy elite and he's a billionaire. He a billionaire who literally was the CEO of two tech companies. Yes, but I will say this. And it's kind of wild that you don't hear more about it, but he's given away like a billion dollars of his own money just kind of quietly. He he set up a, uh, probably for tax purposes. No, I don't think it was. I think he donated like a billion dollars to some woman's fund.

Okay. If you're a woman, you get money. It's not. What is that, make him a good guy? Yes. No. Well, Tech guys freak me out, man.

Tech guys do freak me out. At least like finance guys, you know, I'm no big fan of finance guys, but they like, they know. They're scumbags. They kind of lean into it too. And they just like, they know that they've won, right? And they're not afraid to just be like basic finance bros, right? They just go to the worst places in Manhattan and then they go to the Hamptons and be finance guys. Yeah. Tech guys try to be more than that. They do. They try to be substantial. Right. You know,

that only airport that I've ever been to that had a meditation room in a yoga room. No, SFO close. Yeah, close enough. He does have. It is funny. I think he's probably one of the add actually not anymore, I would say, but I was going to say he's one of the only tattooed CEOs. not anymore, I would say, but I was going to say he's one of the only tattooed CEOs. He's got a giant treble clef tattoo on his forearm, which is like such a tumbler tattoo to have. It covers something. It used to be something else. Really?

What did it cover? A covered? A swastika? Come on, that wasn't even a good one. I mean, I just can't imagine he would have a swastika But uh, because he hates juice does he? No, no, he refuses to he refuses to be a Nazis from his No, I'm joking. Yeah, oh dude. I feel bad for the new guy agar wall. It's like You can't win. Oh, I know that's an impossible job. I could do it and if Trump if Trump wins the nomination for

President in the Like as the Republican nominee. Yeah. Oh, there's gonna be so much pressure on him to reinstate Trump on Twitter. Yeah, you know pal. I would be such a good Twitter CEO. I would run that thing. I would be Solid. I got I got ideas. I use that app. I can find bugs. I can come up with ideas. Listen. I don't know, man. You like Twitter blue. I didn't think that. It's a great. Twitter blue, they screwed up because they priced it too low. They should have priced it at like 10 bucks because you priced it too low and then it makes people go, I can actually get high and then people start to realize you've priced it at like $8.99, which is actually $9.

To what? Change the color of the icon? Yeah. Well, no, it's actually kind of annoying now, because when I do, it lets you edit $8.99, that's more than like Hulu. How much is Hulu? $6.99? I don't know.

Can we stop with the $99? We all know. At this point, we all know the advertising basics. We've all seen the infographics. McDonald's uses red, cause red makes you hungry, et cetera, and others. It is disconcerting that there's like little focus groups and companies trying to figure out these weird things

to make you a little freak to buy stuff. Yeah, I am showing red they'll get hungry. I'm a little freak to buy stuff, don, I have a... You show them red, they'll get hungry. I'm a little freak to buy stuff, don't you? I was craving Mickey D's and then I got, but it's not my fingers in a big Mac appeared. And I ate that thing, lukewarm and all. Yeah, good. Dish, red and yellow.

This doesn't make me hungry. Red and yellow doesn't make you. What, green does? The color of beans makes you hungry? It's guys a healthy boy over here. Do you know what I have tattoos? Speaking of tattoos? I know you do. Yeah guy's a healthy boy over here. Do you know what I have tattoo? Speaking of tattoo? I know you do.

Yeah, they're pretty bad. I have one is... No, one is bad and the other is also bad. One is a sunflower. The next thing is you never have to see them. Yes, I don't, but other people do. They're on his back. I was 19 and my girlfriend at the time, her name was Melinda,

we had broken up and then we're trying, I was trying to get back together with her surprise because that's what happens when you're 19. And in my trying to convince her, I was like, okay, I'll finally get the tattoo that we had talked about getting and she said, if you don't do it this time, I'm never gonna talk to you again. Now it's like, I was like, okay,

damn, I gotta be serious. So what did I do? I popped some Adderall to give me, it was like my spinach, my Popeye spinach. You got an Adderall to get a ketchup? Adderall, because I was like, it's on the scene. No, I wanted to elevate my senses

so that I'd be like, this is a great idea actually, because everything's a great idea actually because everything's a great idea when you're high on that stuff and we went to which one is this the sunflower yes sunflower we we went to Huntington Beach and our sunset beach and we got matching sunflower tattoo yeah she got one on her arm she still has it and I have mine on my back. Cause at least the one little amount of foresight that I had was, I'm gonna get this on my back

so that I never have to see it. You should have got it on your upper thigh. Why? So that no one would have to see it? Yeah. That's actually... It's fucking fucking mother fucking god. What did I, I wish you were there man? Yeah

And then the other one is the stew C. S. I got that yeah, that's you have a stew C. I got that cuz that man looks like a seventh graders notebook When I when I was like 22 all this is a funny story actually so, LA used to have its own kind of Coachella. That was like, look, I'll get back together with you. You get to be another tattoo. This time it's this easy yes. No, it was LA had their own Coachella,

it was this festival called FYF, which, FF, FF, it started out, it by the end it was a three day thing. Before that it was a two day thing, the end it was a three day thing before that it was a two day thing before that It was a one day thing and before that even it was like an afternoon thing and in year two of it The guy who like ran the whole thing had a scavenger hunt a citywide scavenger hunt Everybody met at Dodger Stadium. There were like 800 people who met up at Dodger Stadium You had teams of three to seven and then they

had this entire list, you know, you know, a scavenger hunt. Sure. The two highest point items were to get the Stussy tattoo or the Bad Boys Club logo. If you don't know what these are, Google them. It's from like Pogs in the 90s. And then the other second, the second highest point value item was to get a skillet, which is where you shave just the top of your. Of course I did the skillet. I wanted to win the grand prize, which was from Spain.

So now here's the funny part. I get the skillet, I get the tattoo, we didn't win. Damn, you got a tattoo for what? What was the prize? Scavenger hunt. For Primavera Sound, which is a music festival in Barcelona. To go to a music festival. Yeah, there's the S. Yeah, that's on my back. Should we show them? I'll know. Maybe we'll I'll take a photo later. I don't feel like getting up and lifting up my shirt for people to see.

It's embarrassing. Do you get pissed that you have them? Yes. Really? Yes. Do you ever think about getting them removed? Yes. That's a bummer. But it's like three grand. Do you get pissed that you have them? Yes, really? Yes. Do you ever think about getting them removed? Yes. That's a bummer. But it's like three grand together removed. Yeah. I've tattooed, but I don't like get pissed when I see them. So I go home that day with the skillet, and my dad, the last photo I have with my daddy,

is me with the skillet. And I'm also wearing a jujubees t-shirt the candy you know so it's this neon green jujubees candy t-shirt we got this old man skillet haircut and yeah that's it so here you are sitting on a podcast That's it. So here you are sitting on a podcast. Making fun of Jack Dorsey for his... Gaff. He probably likes it. Yeah, of course he likes it.

You got Sunflower and a... Stucy. Oh, stupid. I remember the tattoo artist. I hope he was fun with the... What? Block. You know what, fun with block. I remember the tattoo artist. I was in a rush and I'm like, can you just put it as close to the flowers you can, make it like a centimeter big? Right next to each other. Yeah, well, he didn't put it. He said, I think I'm gonna make it like a stem of the flower. And I was like, buddy, just put it as close as you can

next to it on the side. And he made it like two and a half inches big and made it like a stem, just an idiot. What else is new this week? The market's been down on Omicron fears. I am Omicron. I am the new COVID variant. I'm people say you can say it different ways but I think you know Omicron. What's Omicron? No, no. Some people say Omicron. Omicron? I'm saying some people, no. You're looking at me. Yeah, but I'm trying to figure out what you're saying.

Omicron. I don't know, this is it. You're pissing me off, man. You're asking the other people are saying it. Wait, okay, so wait, let's get total silence. Tell me how you say it and then tell me how others may say it. I say Omicron. Okay, so you're saying Omicron. Got it.

Okay, so now what do you want to do? Some people say Omicron. Omicron. Are you? You're actually missing it. I can't. It's, no, I don't even know what it, I'm just gonna try to read it as if I'm seeing the,

market down on Omicron fears. Okay, yeah. Omicron. Yeah, yeah. Omicron. Or you can say it like, Mark you're down on Omicron fears. Okay. Omicron. Yeah, yeah. Or you can say it like, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Gotta get that booster.

You gotta get that, I need to get Moderna because I got Pfizer. The stocks went up, Moderna and Pfizer like shot up. So did Nova Vax, yeah, good for them. How'd the, how'd Sputnik do the Russian Vax or AstraZeneca? Cause that's what I got to do is each of, each of, um, AstraZeneca and Sputnik. Wait, are you, what? Is it really called Sputnik? I think so. No way. They wouldn't do that. I think it

is called Sputnik. Yeah, but didn't Sput. So it was the satellite. Yeah, but didn't it crash and die or whatever? Didn't the guy on it? A lot of things happened. Yeah. No, spot Nick was good. Spot Nick was a success. Yeah, except for the damn Ruskies just shot down one of their own satellites and created a big debris field. Yeah, for what are they trying to kill Sandra Bullock? trying to kill Sandra Bullock? I'm talking about the movie, Space. It's called Space. The movie's called Space. Do you think Omicron is gonna send us back into our homes? Do I think Omicron's gonna send us back to the home?

I think it's fine. Why don't I just ask a guard and know? Wait, is the market bouncing back though? I think- The market tanked over the weekend. Well, by the time this airs, it'll be last weekend. And this last week, yeah, it's tanked quite a bit, which has been frustrating because then right around the time that this was all happening, Jerome Powell then said, oh, and by the way, we're gonna like ratchet up tapering after all.

And that pisses me off because I just, I just don't like that Jerome. This is the quantitative easing. Yeah, the quantitative easing. They were, they were, the Fed was what they were doing 120 billion dollars worth of monthly. I don't even know. I've seen them now. They're going down to like 105. Yeah, but his timing of it. I don't even know. I've seen it. Now they're going down to like a hundred five million. Yeah, but his timing of it.

So there's going to be garbage. Yeah. Because everybody knows that part of the reason the market is propped up, not propped up, but has gone up so much, so fast, so far, is because of the feds. Excuse me, I just joked. But do I think that Omacron, look, here's what I think. And this is not me as a conspiratorialist or...

Whoa, are you gonna drop some crazy hairs? I'm gonna drop some, some nuggies, some little baby nuggies. Hmm, hmm, that was a weird one. But so I think personally that at this point, we as a society have to decide what happens next. Where do we go from here? We got to get some solid direction because they're saying sustainable. This isn't working.

I feel like it's at the point where we all now know because of how stubborn some people are and because of how the vaccine isn't widely available worldwide yet, that it's going to be a thing that's just gonna be a part of life for the next few years. Oh, I mean, that's for sure. It's not going away. I mean, I have no idea what's gonna happen,

but it's clear that the virus is still in control of the economy. I think that, so as it pertains to the market, one thing you gotta remember, there's the old adage is the market is forward looking. So, and especially now, when you have news hitting the wires, people are able to absorb it

and comprehend it collectively. Not just like, because back in the day, it used to be only like the professionals would hear about it and then a week later or learn about it and then like a week later, you are, you're the normal guy and it's like, oh, what is this news? You read about it in the paper, but now it disseminates so widely, so fast that everybody's able to read it and the market digests it quicker than ever. So what might have taken weeks or months

for the market to kind of hash out, it now can take an afternoon. And does everybody kind of collectively feel like, okay, we now know, what do we know? We know that we're probably not gonna do any more shutdowns, because that's just, how did he float it? Fouchy floated it. He said we don't know yet, but it's not out of it. They wouldn't know, no politician in their right mind would do that again.

It would be a disaster. Even if it was necessary, which it, I still think that the, It was necessary like we're all just dropping dead. They're gonna be like, going shop shop to you really drop Look that's always the answer the perfect Scenario would be to get everybody to sit down shut up stay home for two weeks and here's $5,000 for doing it They can't do it. It's impossible. It's just never gonna happen. We've got a podcast to do. Yeah, we've got a podcast to do. Why won't anybody think of us?

Mr. President, I have a podcast to do. You can't lock me in my house. You know what's funny is, I've got the calculator here, this very real calculator with like a paper printout. You keep typing 911 on it. No, but keep seeing, I keep forgetting that I had written 420 plus 69 over and over. So I just see 420 69 from the Elon bit last time.

But I don't think that we're gonna shut down again. I don't think Omicron will make a shutdown. It seems like it's pretty mild so far. I mean, by the time this comes up, maybe we're all getting locked down again. Well, that's the thing. When you read about individual cases coming out, there was one yesterday, the first case in San Francisco.

And I'm not minimizing it by being like, ugh, because I'm not denying COVID. I was one of the first out of everybody in the, I was probably one of the first, you were the first one to get it. I was not the first one to get it. I was keenly aware, I was shorting the market for like a month before COVID dropped and we'll probably do an anniversary segment because I was effing pissed. I was like, there's this thing going on in China that is absolutely going to come here and nobody seems to care. And then finally when it mattered, it mattered. And I scored, but like, I'm over it. I'm tired of this. I'm still wearing the mask obviously and I'm vaccinating. I'm

going to get the booster but I was reading. I think it was Abdul Al Sayed. He's like a public health expert. But it was just, or maybe it was, I forget who it was about, you know, us not releasing the vaccine IP and getting them out to poor countries and them talking about pisses me off. How we could have avoided these variants. Oh yeah. If we had the world, but the vaccine could. That is, it sucks conspiracy there. It sucks that it sounds like it, but then when you watch things about like the Sackler family

with Pradoo and you learn just how truly immoral these people are. They don't care. They really don't have you seen anything about the Sackler, like the documentary about them? Not the drama. No, I read the big New York article. It's it's it's it's devastating and upsetting. Oh yeah, I'll corrupt more like bankrupt. You ever see the McKinsey thing how they were they were they were trying to get They were coming with promotions to get To get more pill sold and they had this thing where they would they would give bonuses to Pharmacies that sold That gave out a prescription that led to an overdose

Jesus it's so fucking dark. Aren't these people at least afraid of hell? Like, I don't know. I don't know if it exists. I do best a little bit. Yeah, I would be like, you know what? It's fucking wild.

I'm cool with where we're at. And you would think that they would still like, crime any man, lower the dosage, something. Right. You could even do better margins if you made the shit less potent. God damn, I mean. But there was a,

there was a, it was a Bloomberg article. I don't, I feel weird shouting these like stats out because I don't know how they come up with all these numbers and stuff, but they said it would take a calculator. Yeah, that's probably all it takes. I said it would take $50 billion to vaccinate the world.

But the whole Elon Musk, where are you at? Right, but the whole COVID infrastructure that's coming to place with paying people for testing, paying for all these constant boosters and everything has been worth 10 trillion dollars. Has been worth that. So it's benefited society to that. I'd have to pull up the rough.

Oh, there it is. OECD, we got an article here. $50 billion price tag on backstabing the world. Okay, that's like nothing. But then I know it is nothing. Yeah, but then how long does that take in convincing people and, oh, Jesus Christ, this is one of the pitfalls of technology.

Modern technology is you have a lot more of an opportunity to disseminate false information, false and missing information. I mean, there's more than one. I think technology is mostly pitfalls. I think it's mostly pitfall. Let's... Whenever people are like, oh, Amelia, you hate capitalism so much. You know what you wouldn't have without it? Your phone. It's like, good.

Throw this in the river. This is ruined my life. Yeah, pee-meat this fucking thing. Yeah, same. If I'd never got an email again that'd be the best thing that ever happened to me yeah man that makes me that bombs me out now I'm feeling I'm addicted to checking the same three apps over and over which three Twitter Instagram email read it read it oh read it yeah I want viral one right it kind of life is that? That's a bad one I want to live like the liver king baby

The king the king here gonna like our ancestral tribes. Yeah, I went viral on reddit a couple years ago for that billboard stunt and People's on gone wild right gone wild. Yeah. No. I don't know. Nevermind. Just tell your billboard. Okay. It must be porn. But, okay. But, I, people asked in the, I lied in the caption. I said, oh, I, I paid this billboard company to advertise my business and they screwed

up the cropping. And it was just my face on this billboard. And it was, it was real. The picture was real. But the story wasn't. It was intentionally cropped for a Twitter bit. You gave them a cropped photo. Yes. And then they, I went to a bar, I actually met Phil and like two hours later, I came out and

it had blown up on Reddit. And then I saw so many comments just being like, is this real? What is the story here? Oh my God, this is ridiculous. And then I just, without thinking, I was just like, now this is fake. I did it for a Twitter joke. And then I drove home, drove home. And by the time I got home, that comment that I had made saying like,

this is all just a bit, that comment I had made, sorry, we just pulled it up. All right, you know what? I'll just walk you through the bit. So I thought that it would be funny. I was curious how much it would cost to buy a billboard in Los Angeles, right? And I found this one on Hollywood Boulevard

and it cost $3,200 for four weeks. So I just without thinking, I just bought it. I was like, okay, I gotta think of a good bit. What can I do? Okay, I'm gonna use Twitter to make a thing here. So I was gonna have it be a thread. So the first tweet was, hey, exciting news. I just created, I bought, exciting news everyone. I bought a billboard in Los Angeles to promote my Twitter. I just submitted the file and here's what it's gonna look like. It goes up in a few days.

It's just a picture of me waving, hi, I'm Ben, follow me on Twitter, that is, and then with my handle. And then I intentionally told them, I wish you put that up. It's actually great. Well, yeah, well, I did put it up. That was the real billboard. They put up the first one, and I told them, oh, they put the first one up. Yes, I had them intentionally crop out my handle. And then the corresponding tweet is, this is so embarrassing, the billboard is up but my Twitter handle got cut off. The sales and this is the setup for the next joke. The sales guy was a real jerk but he agreed to fix it for free. He says they're going to take care of me. I sure hope so more followers here I come can't wait. And so then the next joke was, and I paid $500 extra dollars to have them put just like, oh, they

fixed the cropping all right, they zoomed way in. The bit is as if the sales guy is that spiteful that he just screwed me on this and made my face the billboard, just my eyes nose and top of my mouth. So I respite, the next tweet in the thread is a photo of that and me saying what the fuck and there's a video too if you want to play it I this is so unprofessional there's no sound what the fuck is this what is is that? What is this? You're such a little...

That was fun. So I posted just the photo of just the face and I said, yeah, this is a, I paid to advertise my business and the billboard company screwed up. And yeah. So then when I revealed that it was all just a Twitter joke, people got so fucking angry. They, I stupidly, my Reddit handle was my name. So they were like googling me and like found out where I worked. And some A-hole reached out to the billboard company and wrote them an email saying,

like, this guy's out here slandering your business. And one, one, one, Redditer was like was like wow this guy's committing a crime here the billboard company can sue him for libel and the billboard owner this got the guy who owns the billboard company reached out to me via DM and he said why are you lying about my business online and I was so scared and then I was like I'm sorry man it was just a joke it's just a it was just a prank bro and then he then I was like, I'm sorry, man, it was just a joke. It's just a, it was just a prank, bro. And then he said, he was like, I'm just kidding, man. I think this is really funny. Also, and then he said, also, thank you for bringing this to our attention.

That billboard should not be that cheap. That's like a $20,000 a month billboard. You got lucky. You got it for $3,000. I got it. And I didn't get any followers from it, which was, yeah, that's a funny. I didn't get it. I didn't get what he got was a thousand like.

I just thought it'd be a funny use of a bowl. It is very fun. What a weirdo though. You're just sitting at home and thinking up these weird little things you could do. I'm gonna fly to Dubai and get naked. I'm gonna put up a billboard. Life's, you gotta make life entertaining.

No, I'm gonna start an understand why you- You gotta go to the bank. We gotta get you little tasks. You gotta go to the bank. Yeah, I'm starting to understand why you- You gotta go to the bank. We gotta get you little tasks. You gotta give me tasks. You think I, you got too much time. Leave a comment. If you- If you're the little task for Brendan.

Yeah, give me some ideas. Give me something to do. This is a nice life you got over there. Yeah, it's gonna kick my feet up again. Oh, while we're talking about my story, I do wanna clarify, I am not a, uh, our financial circumstances are quite different. We're not talking, but that was 40 minutes ago, Pat. Well, no, I just feel they were like, yeah, hey, well, yeah, it's not rich. Yeah, it meals not rich. It's what you're trying to say.

I'm not rich. Yeah, okay. You're, but you are rich in other ways. We're in friendship. You have, look at that hair. Look at that. I'm not rich. Yeah, okay, you're but you are rich in other ways When friendship you have look at that hair look at that head of hair Friendship hair. I'm built like a ship brick house Shit house fuck cut that I didn't fucking say that I said built like a brick shit house Wait, is that the proper parlance? Yeah, I built like a ship brick house Anyway, wow cast. Anyway, wow. Today's a silly episode. Wow, Apple Puffer number 10. What's going to happen with Omicron? You know, it's going to happen. We're all going to go back into our

homes forever. There's going to be, there's going to be those who can work from home and those who serve them. Everyone, no offices are going to die forever. Everyone in the Western world will get boosted to the gills and be digital nomads. Here's the thing that, no, I don't know what's going to happen. I think no one knows what's going to happen. We all have to remember that there are Pfizer just got their treatment approved for. Oh yeah.

It's a, it's a pill treatment for severe case, not even severe. I don't know, but basically between the vaccine and this pill treatment, there's very, very, very little chance of you dying from COVID, which death isn't the ultimate thing that you're trying to avoid. You're also trying to avoid all the other effects that COVID... Oh yeah, who knows long term, we all could other effects that COVID.

Oh yeah, who knows long term, we all could be like brain dead. Should be great. Buddy, I'm already there. Brain on half mode. It's time to be up. Brain on stupid mode. I'm actually a genius, so.

I mean, did you see what I did with that billboard? That was kind of a genius, man. The credit card scams. What a waste of genius. Yeah, that could be out there. We're gonna get you little tasks, buddy. I could be out there reinventing the digital clock. Hmm?

That was a dud, so. So. So. No, that was. You're big, Lee. Yeah, I think we have not touched on in this financial economic podcast is the, they're calling it the great resignation. You heard about this? Yes, because people feel I think it's kind of pulled back the curtain on

society for a lot of people and seeing the headlines about the wealthy getting wealthier and the crypto people making Buku bucks, it feels like why would I be flipping burgers and cleaning up? Well, I think it's a, there's a historical precedent for this with, have you ever read about like the, with the black death in 1300s? Oh, it's my favorite book, the black death and the 1300s. It's not a book, it's actually just a thing that happened in the past. S-yeah, okay. Sure.

You know about the black death. Some people pronounce it that way, others say- What do you say, the black dooth? I say the black death. I say liquid death of 1300. But basically like half the labor population got wiped out. Oh, they died. Mm-hmm. From the black death.

Yeah, which was the plague. Is this the thing you think you want to plague? Huh. And I don't think that that's the same situation here. It's because people are feeling, it's all those 18-year-olds on TikTok. Well, you also didn't let me finish, you piece of garbage. Sorry, go ahead. Sorry, you're right. Sorry, please.

It's more, it's in, it's in. Now I'm getting real pissed off here, pal, because I'm just trying to talk. The bike away, still go ahead, go ahead, sorry. Look, it's an inflection point, pal. It's all I'm trying to say. It's happened, you know what else it's happened? Look, it's an inflection point, pal. It's all I'm trying to say. It's happened, you know, and else it's happened. Look, this country, we're not big on strengthening labor and putting in, uh,

labor laws that protect workers. Probably the last real legitimate one was in the 1930s. Your chairs shut up. I should, if you cut me off, off It is the mic doesn't pick it up Might Sorry, sorry, it doesn't I've listened back cuz I've noticed it right. I'm you worry about what's going on over there. Okay Fucking squeaking Where was that you fucking you were talking about how it

inflection point. Yes, the inflection point. People are pissed off. And this also happened, you know what else? There was the biggest strike waves. I think that ever happened. I think we're 19, 19, and 1946. You know what happened right before those? The world wars. Yeah. One and two. So you had you had people coming back from the war being hailed as heroes called heroes and then they're going back to work and they're like, those. The world wars. Yeah. One and two. So you had you had people coming back from the war being hailed as heroes called heroes and then they're going back to work and they're like, what the fuck? I'm being treated like shit. This is bullshit. I don't serve this right? So they went out and started

fighting for the right. And right now we just we had like an entire year of calling these people essential workers. Putting their lives at risk dealing with and so that's the dollar an hour right right and they're all trying to figure out everyone trying to figure out why this is happening some people are saying it's because you know people don't want to work I mean now they can't blame on an unemployment insurance anymore that's done and they're trying to claw it back in some places like California they're trying to claw some of it back they're trying to get it back from people? Yeah.

Even though California dropped the ball and lost billions, billions, billions to scammers. Like how effing hard is it to set up something? You got all the coding nerds in the world. Get Cody in the well to, uh, to code a weapon for you. They would do it and they would make it drip. Is that the right use of the word? Sure.

That thing would be dripping. We're showing everybody. It would be like, hey, fuck face, you want unemployment insurance? Dip shit, sign up here, click here. But, so, I mean, I think... What's happening is that work fucking sucks in this country. It's it sucks so much. It sucks dick.

It does. You get chit-dune that, but sure. No, it does. You get treated like that, but sure. No, it does. You get treated like shit. Not only by your employer, but in many cases, like retail and a food service by cars. Oh, yeah. Now everyone's getting, they're going back out after being cooped up in their house. Yeah. Have you ever quit a job before? I've ever quit a job before.

I've been fired. For what? One time I got fired for it. I got this job. It was like a holiday job and it was, Sam Sung was doing this house in, it was called the Sam Sung house. They got this nice house in Manhattan and... Shout out to Sam Sung and his family.

The Sam Sung house. And it was crazy. And they, like, because Samsung was coming out with their, like, refrigerators and... Smart. Washer dryers, yeah, smart house, everything, TVs, whatever. And so they filled this house with all of their appliances. And we were just, like, working there and I didn't give a shit.

And... Of course, you didn't. It was, it was like... You didn't have a credit card of course you didn't it was it was like you didn't have a credit card your credit score is a good pay and then and they had like most of the time there was nothing to do unless the clients were coming in there was nothing to do and so they had they had like ping pong tables and they had all the TVs were you know had like Netflix on them and stuff and I would be like guys we just no one's here. Let's play ping pong.

Let's log in. I got everyone to watch Star Trek, the new movie on the huge TV, because I was like, this is sick. And then just like, they were like, can we talk to you? And they were like, you can't. Ha, ha, ha.

Wait, were you trying to get your bosses? Did you not realize they were your bosses or something? No, I knew. I was just like, there's nothing to do. Oh, yeah. We knew when people would be coming in. It was a, you got time to clean, time to lean, time to clean situation.

I got, I said, time to watch Star Trek. They fired you. Is that the only one you got fired? I think so. I got fired twice, two different jobs. First one I was 16, I was the host at a sports bar restaurant called Legends in Long Beach.

And they kind of took advantage of me because I'd be working on school nights and they would have me checking IDs at the door until one in the morning and you couldn't go home until the boss, the manager on the clock said that you could go home on shift, whatever. And so I tried to, I tried to Gussie up some Pity points. So I Faked like I was sleeping like nodding off like I'm so tired Maybe if I just pretend like I'm so tired that I can't even stay awake

They'll send me home out of pity. He did send me home out of pity And then I got fired the next day for sleeping on the job. Oh my God. Yeah. And then the second one was when I was 25, 25 or 26, I was working at a movie trailer studio as an associate producer and it was, it was an impossible job. It was so hard. I worked like 70, 80 hours a week. I never knew when I was going to get off work on any given night. I could be there till one in the morning. I could get off at 8 p.m. And I had like three different bosses.

And I just had, there's so many chances for you to screw up little things. And I had just too many little things get screwed up in the the the the final straw was I Had to supply what's called an ADR script ADR is like lines diabolical robots That's not what it stands for. I think it stands for additional dialogue recording or something It's when you have to go back and get audio that's gonna pick up.

Yeah, and since we were making trailers, it was added lines that you needed like, we've got to get to the castle, just whatever. And this was for Hotel Transylvania too. Fun fact. Wait, wait, wait, wait. My voice is in the Hotel Transylvania to teaser. Can you pull it up? Swear to God. In the first like 10 seconds, they're climbing, my voice is in the hotel, Transylvania to teaser. Can you pull it up? Swear to God, in the first like 10 seconds,

they're climbing, it's a teaser, not a trailer, so it's just one long scene, and they're climbing up this ladder, and there's a werewolf, and he's scared. And my friend Andy was cutting the trailer, he's like, hey, can you go into the Vio booth and just sound scared, and I was like, okay, and it made it to the final cut of the trailer of the teaser.

So it's in there. It's in there. It's in there. It's in there. And we'll pull it up in a sec. But so the final thing that got me fired was there was an ADR script going to Adam Sandler and he's were on like a fiber call with him. A fiber.

It's like high death. Yeah. And we hear, I'm in the edit bay with my producer boss and the editor and we hear Adam Sandler talking. And I had forgot the word the in a sentence. So it literally just went like this. Adam Sandler goes, we have to get to, huh. Oh, they forgot the word the. Anyway, take it from the top.

We have to get to the castle blah, blah forgot the word the. Anyway, take it from the top. We have to get to the castle blah blah blah. He didn't care, nobody cared. And the producer was so pissed. Oh, you forgot to say that. That I, because part of my job was to like, proofread that and make sure it was fine. And I got fired over that. Can you believe that?

Ridiculous. All right, here's the teaser trailer. So listen carefully for the, phew, phew. Ridiculous. Alright, here's the here's the teaser trailer. So listen carefully for the Very good Ben. It's not ridiculous. It was all worth it. It was all worth it. I didn't get paid for it, but So I got fired from that. I cried, I was embarrassed. It's humiliating to get fired. Way better to quit. Which a lot of people are doing right now.

The quits rate is very high. It's higher than it's been in a long time. I think about five, it's over four million people have quit their jobs. Wow. It's crazy. I think it's like, yeah, I think it's like 3% of the American people.

Everybody's starting a dropshimp. And people talk about the quits rate So I think taking as a whole it's very high, but in certain industries It's I think hospitality restaurant workers that kind of stuff is like very high people are quitting those jobs There's a it's also a tight labor market so people know that they can get jobs elsewhere if they're being mistreated So maybe these offer in 22 dollars an hour. Yeah, it's actually working a little bit. People are getting higher wages, some better benefits.

Oh yeah. Fuck you, I'm trying to think. Sorry, just pissing me off. Just cause you. We're gonna talk to you after the show. We're in this together. What? Yes, we are.

We should get a little jar. It'll be called the no um... Fuck you. No, I was serious. No, it will be called the no um jar. Exactly. That's what I was trying to say. No, but not only that. It'll be the no um and like jar.

The no um and like jar. And every time we say it, we can put one in the jar. And every year we'll crack that jar open. And we'll'll have several dollars and we'll put it in the stock market We'll put back into alibaba. Yeah, we'll buy slices of shares on public.com. Yes, use code true Do we want to read these but so any of these anti-work There's a subreddit called anti-work. Yeah, and they're pretty good. We're talking about quitting their jobs Is that what it's all just people talking about quitting their jobs? There's a lot of like screenshots of people texting their managers, which honestly, I

don't want to, you guys know, pro people telling their managers to fuck off, but some of them are a little harsh, huh? No, no, no, it just seems fake. Yeah. Little harsh, huh? No, no, no, no, it just seems fake. Yeah They're all like too similar They they always play the manager as this kind of maybe it's real But they always kind of have the manager as this well, that's very disappointing We're gonna talk about this in the morning mister. Yeah, just I can't imagine but hey Maybe they're real and I say if people are mistreating you,

tell them to fuck off. This is a post from 16 days ago on anti-work. Half of my office's staff is quitting today. Last Thursday, my office, a dental practice, in a very wealthy area of California, sounds like Newport Beach, or... Or many parts of California. Yeah.

Had a meeting and we were informed that we would only be approved for one day off per quarter That's ridiculous. So one day off every three months None of us in the office got any benefits no PTO no medical no holidays nothing We were also told that because excuse me we the hygienists are booked out so far that when we take our day off We will have to come in early or work late to make up for the patience we don't get to see that day. So the TLDR, the too long didn't read, is the boss tries to control our unpaid time off

and vastly overestimates his worth, winds up losing his whole clinical staff. That's, wow. Yeah, people do be quitting their jobs. Good. People, it really do be that way. The more you think about it, the more you're going to be quit. That's not just these retail jobs, it's not just work and really fucking something.

Yeah, here's another one. My son just hit, my son, this one, this one's sweet. I'll read it. Yeah, go. Fuck, I'm sorry. I mean, it's so funny. I don't know, man. I'm giggly.

You've been a goofball all day. Yeah Not go ahead my son just quit his $45,000 a year job without any prospects And he asked if he could move back home. I was shocked Needless to say he was so excited when he got the job right out of college and my wife and I rejoiced with him over The course of the next couple of years however, I saw the joy not just about the job but about life in general Drain away over Thanksgiving He talked about insane deadlines, a boss who micro-managed, a business owner

who ruled with an iron fist, I encouraged him, but could tell he just wasn't happy to go lucky son I once had. So he basically explains how horrible the job is, how unhappy it's making him, and the nice thing is his parents were very supportive and were like, just quit and you can move back home. He has a wife, his parents were like,

you are welcome to stay with us as long as you need to and he was like, I promise I'll look for another job and they said, you don't have to look for another job until you get your mental health under control. Good parents. Yeah, but I mean, it's not just these low paying jobs. It's like, you know, these salary jobs too, where you kind of feel like you're constantly

on the clock. I mean, with email and cell phones and everything, you can sometimes feel like you never stop work. Or like what you said on the way over here that you used to go to work while you were sick because you thought, I can't miss work. I don't want to upset anybody. Yeah, I said with COVID, there's, we can all relate. Now you would never go to, now you would never go to upset anybody. Yeah, I said with COVID, there's... We can all relate. Now you would never go to...

Now you would never go to work sick, because everyone would be very freaked out, but before COVID, unless I was very ill, I was going to work. And it wasn't... That wasn't frowned upon. It felt very much like,

you're doing the right thing. Yeah. A meal's a company man. I was a company man. I was a company man. When I after I got fired from legends, I got a job at the crab pot, which is a seafood restaurant and Long Beach. And I was a bus boy. It got my brothers, both my brother's jobs there.

And when my older brother started, yeah, it was all three of us. So, um, I just did the thing that I don't want to do. Dollar in the jar and the thing. So I had been the thing that I don't want to do. Dollar in the jar. And the thing. So I had been working there for about six months. My brother Sam gets hired and in his first week, actually, like his second shift, because I was still training him, this poor old man shit his pants on the way and he's he's walking to the bathroom. And there was a trail of turds leading up to the bathroom and it was our job to clean it up. Put on gloves, we got a trash bag and I don't know how it ended up like this, but he held open the trash bag while I cleaned up the shit.

Even though I was technically his superior, I wasn't. But that would have been a prime opportunity to quit. And I just, I just was, just took it. That's part of the job, baby. That's the crab pot. That's the lifestyle. That's the crab pot mindset. Crab pot mindset.

I got one for you. Hit me. You know one of the craziest jobs I ever did? Toilet cleaner. Fucking... Danter. Cleaned out port bodies. No way. It's where it got. Emile cleaned out port bodies. No way swear to God Emil cleaned out port of bodies. Emil cleaned up

Toilets why are you yelling that? Wow, what was that like when? I don't know I was yeah, it was like a summer job. Mm-hmm Did you ever get high and do it? No. I did it at the crab butt. Yeah, that's a little different. Yeah, that would... Being high can make things like sometimes more intense. I don't think I need that more intense. But yeah, you just kinda...

What did you walk us through it? It's good to be the last segment. Well, no, we got other stuff to talk about. Yeah, okay. Alright, well, okay. So walk us through the... Dude, I mean, it's quick. No, I can't imagine anyone's that excited.

It's what you think, there's kind of like a conveyor belt. And well, first you gotta go out there with... I do not know that there would be a conveyor belt. First you gotta go out with this big sucker, you go out to each thing and you, it's just suck everything out of the fucking thing. Then it goes on a line and it gets cleaned down and washed out and they stick the blue stuff in there

that you can't get it on your skin, cause it'll eat away at ya. I saw a TikTok of a guy dropped his cell phone in a porta-poddy and he had reached in and got it out. Oh yeah, you don't wanna touch that stuff or the poop. That's not that exciting, just a... Wow. You know, you gotta build characters somehow.

Get out there? Yeah, truly. No, you do have to work kind of a crap job like that Wow. You got to build characters somehow. Get out there? Yeah, truly. No, you do have to work kind of a crap job like that to appreciate other jobs and to just appreciate life in general. I will just... There's another, I mean, also one more thing on this. Another reason more than anything, people are going out on their own.

They're striking out on their own. I think it's, I think we, with that quits rate, where we're hitting record highs on people leaving jobs, we're also hitting a record high for people starting companies. When you look at business applications, small business, yeah. And I mean, so that kind of relates to this,

you know, this economy is unprecedented. I did not know what people are what we're gonna do to get ourselves out of this You know, it would only be unprecedented by the dead economy, but I Do fear Well, what do you want me to say you just I'm trying to fucking talk. Sorry. Sorry. I did silly mood. It's silly mode Yeah, no, I agree. I'm trying to give them something No, I keep saying sorry to I'm trying to just talk a little bit. Get me a sorry Joe I'm sorry, Emil It was a good joke though unprecedented. Yeah, I get it. But then we would have Kamala and it would be

President again. That's it. That's it. So people are starting small business. Oh, cares. What do you want me to say? I know, it's true. I was saying that it's...

Oh, it relates to what the Fed is doing. It's something that's, you know, if we talk about, if they're moved for dealing with inflation is raising interest rates and stuff, that is that is you know that has real consequences it will bring inflation rates down but I mean that's going to be harder for people to get access to you know cheaper loans and stuff and so I don't know exactly how this is all going to shake out for people who want to keep striking out on their own. I would hope and I would think that a lot of people aren't necessarily getting loans

maybe, but doing things like starting Etsy shops and doing Shopify stuff and doing freelance via Upwork. So like if you look at Upwork, Shopify, Etsy, all those stocks had done really well over the last couple of years. And also the Fed, what is the other thing we looked it up the other day? What is the the other tool that the Fed has? Excuse me. Isn't just raising rates, but tapering their bond purchases. Yeah, that's what they're doing right now. The quantity of easing. But they're they're stopping they're slowing down the quantitative easy. Because the quantitative easing is the bond purchases itself right and they are easy right so they're easy from 120 billion monthly purchases to 105 oh wow when by when I thought he said like December 15th but I

Hey Jerome Powell if you're out there listening you'll bag. Oh, we also never met a drone. How got reappointed as fed chair? Lyle Brennerd is Lyle Lyle brainerd. What a name. It's Lyle really gets stuck in your mouth. Lyle brainered. Wow My name is Lyle Burner. It's like new feed new feed. She's a woman. She's a woman while month I'm still a woman. I'm named that's true. Lyle burner. I don't mean to gender that Southern for sure I don't like Jerome Powell

I think he sucks and I hate listening to him and the lack of the I suppose we can wrap it up It really it seriously pissed me off It pissed off a lot of people in in the finance world because this whole time I've talked about it before about how he's like gasoline America by it first saying a lot of people in the finance world because this whole time, I've talked about it before about how he's like gas lit America by it first saying, oh, there's not gonna be any inflation. And then saying what little inflation there will be, will be temporary and he used the term transitory.

And at every fucking meeting for the last year and a half, when he's asked about inflation, he says it's transitory. It's transitory. It's transitory. It's not going to be, it's not going to be, it's not going to be, and then what does he do? This means, now he's saying it's real. Now he says, I'm not going to use the word transitory anymore. He said, now it's, yeah, he retires the word transitory and describing inflation because we tend to use the yeah, this is a quote. I'm Jerome Powell. We tend to use the word transitory to mean that it won't have a permanent mark in the form of higher inflation. I think it's probably a good time to retire that word and try to explain more clearly what we mean. Meanwhile, I'm going to eat my own ass because I hate myself. Didn't you say that?

Not, yes he did. He did. That's a direct quote. Jerome Powell's a piece of crap. Self-suck. He's gonna administer self-suck. He did administer self-suck. This whole effing thing has been fucked up! It's... Get me, Jerome Powell.

Mr. Powell, you have been administering self-suck for far too long get on the line get on ladies online too Oh, Jerome. No, you're on line one. Let's do Jerome it's a meal. It's a meal too. We got some to say to you. Yeah, stop self-sucking you piece of crap Yeah, no, no, oh, oh, oh, oh, no, you're gonna get mad at me. You're gonna get mad at me Guess what? I know where you live. You live at me? You're gonna get mad at me? Guess what? I know where you live. You live at the bank, okay? You live at the bank.

Yeah, shut up, shut up. It's a meal again, shut up. You mousey motherfucker. I'm built like a brick shit house. Oh, yeah. All right, no, okay, yeah. My life is a way, Mike. Do you think he's been gaslighting this whole time?

Yes. No, but sometimes people are just wrong. And I think the... Probably both. Not sometimes. A lot of times people are wrong. And I mean, we should talk about like some of, especially in the economics, profession. There's a, no, there's very little like widespread consensus on the right moves.

People are wrong so often. You really do be that way. You know, Larry Summers, I'd love to do a fucking talk on that asshole. He's either stupid or a bad actor. Is he the center? No. Larry Summers was, I forget his exact position he was in Clinton and Obama's cabinet I think he was somebody better let him out

but he responsible for a lot of bad shit he's truly always wrong everybody in this country in the government has been responsible for bad shit. It's kind of overwhelming. When you think about it, that's why we should run for president, co-president. We could be the first co-presidents. Chancelers, even. Yeah, dictators.

Yeah, no, well, I'm chancellor. Desperate. Yeah, no, hi, hi, hi, what do you call it? Like, hi, high priest? Hi priest. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, something real fucked up. Yeah. Yeah, scare the people and we could just do calls like that We'll call through own pal. That's how we'll talk. I'll call up. It'll be like wrestling where it's it's theater It's politics and theater.
