And he goes verticals. 9 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,360 And his CEO looked over at him like, yeah, like, kind of 10 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,479 surprised. Was that the VP of sales or 11 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,400 something? Yeah, it was the VP of Sales and 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,880 I'm like, and he just went on about, well, we work with this 13 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,080 type of company and then like, no, no, that's great. 14 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,280 What type of verticals are we talking about here? 15 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,840 Like, do you have a direct audience or are you just 16 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,160 shooting it everywhere? Like a lot of companies, 17 00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:51,920 everyone's our customer, so. Anybody with a dollar is my 18 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,640 customer. It's a very Grant Cardone. 19 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,360 Like if they got a dollar, they're a customer. 20 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:57,960 You just bring them on board. You're. 21 00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,920 Selling to everybody, You're selling to nobody. 22 00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:03,280 Yeah, exactly right. And that's, that's the thing 23 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,000 that a lot of these old salespeople have this idea of 24 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,480 its grind, grind, grind. And that's why salespeople are 25 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,160 loathed, loathed, loathed. Because they're pushy and. 26 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,960 You know, it's like the door to door one who came over to my 27 00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:22,080 house for Windows and rang my door. 28 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,160 He didn't ring my doorbell. He knocked on the door, but he 29 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,960 did it twice and Penny kept barking. 30 00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:29,920 I was like, what the fuck? So I, I look on the ring app and 31 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,280 I'm like, who are these two dudes? 32 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,280 Like what? Like they didn't look like they 33 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,440 were wearing it until I open the door and I see it right on his 34 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,560 hat. And I just, I'm like, what, you 35 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,680 guys? I was like out here selling shit 36 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,600 and they're like, ohh, no, no, no, we're we're with the 37 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,240 marketing team. And I was like. 38 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,720 OK 'cause. I've knocked doors. 39 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,480 That would be fucking hilarious if you did that. 40 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,080 Exactly what they started talking. 41 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,200 No, I literally I just, I literally I'd went OK and then 42 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,560 they kept talking and they're like, so we're we're doing this 43 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,560 stuff and I'm like so this home I'm actually just house sitting. 44 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,039 They're on like. A. 45 00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:11,520 Mormon mission or something. So he's like, oh, so they're, 46 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,880 they're gone for a while. I'm like, yeah, like 6, maybe 47 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,520 seven months, I think so I don't know. 48 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,920 Old, old fucking windows, though. 49 00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:21,320 They could totally use it. Wish they could have done 50 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,600 something. It'd be great. 51 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,440 Good day though. And turn around and walk back 52 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,200 inside. And it was like the shortest 53 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,520 sales interaction I have ever had with a salesman of going, 54 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,040 yeah, I know what you're here for and I know your whole story. 55 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,800 But like, at the end of the day, I know you don't really give a 56 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,640 fuck. And the last person who came 57 00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:40,200 here to show me that and tell me, look at this great deal. 58 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,320 My dad's a general contractor. I grew up doing this shit. 59 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,400 You just like 3 times marked it up. 60 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,800 I'm just going to go buy him this other place and install him 61 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,680 myself. Yeah. 62 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,200 See, and that's the thing, like I, I, I've loved about cannabis. 63 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,520 And I mean, I've told that to door to door salespeople. 64 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,040 I'm like, you smoke weed and I'm like, I smoke weed. 65 00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:01,000 They go bull. I mean I've tried it a few 66 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,400 times. I'm like, you should smoke more 67 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,520 weed. Matter of fact, you should smoke 68 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,280 it before you go out and sell. And the guy's like why? 69 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,360 And I'm like, because dude, when you shit like this last guy, 70 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,480 like I, I ruined his day. I took a full 40 minutes of his 71 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,800 time. I didn't buy either. 72 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,440 I just took his time because he was trying to take my time. 73 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,840 And I'm like. You're like, fuck it. 74 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,560 I'm just like.

Younger me totally would have 82 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,160 done that to the salespeople and just fuck with them for hours 83 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,520 like because I love doing that shit to people who are like they 84 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,080 have the dumbest stuff like.

Oh yeah. 114 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:19,600 I actually had to think about that yesterday and I working 115 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,360 with my dad and intentionally in the morning. 116 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,120 I was like I told myself I was like, Brandon, you need to 117 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,360 remember the pause today, pause in my responses, pause in my 118 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,640 fight because but I, I didn't I didn't respond like it got 119 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,640 heated for a second and I said things that I didn't have that 120 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,120 pause. And so you know I but at the 121 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,560 same time. It's hard dude, because it's. 122 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,560 Like hard working with my dad sometimes. 123 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,160 But it's hard working with your parent. 124 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,880 Period. Yeah, even talking to him. 125 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,760 But it's it's we have because it's four days a week, most 126 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,880 days, most weeks. And for five to 9 hours a day, 127 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,040 we have lots of conversations and. 128 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,000 I think it kind of is it exhausting sometimes? 129 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,160 Sometimes we have because we have very different beliefs on 130 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,960 of course, on almost everything, but at the same time a lot of 131 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,680 similarities. And I liked that because, and 132 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,440 that was what I tried to find was instead of retaliating or 133 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,360 going saying this, it was like I would my response was like my 134 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,800 dad went because I told him that I wasn't proud to be American. 135 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,080 I wasn't proud to be here. He was like, you sound like you 136 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,520 hate your country. I'm like, I sound like I'm 137 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,040 disappointed in my country. And I think if our founding 138 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,120 fathers woke up, they'd roll over in their grave and go, what 139 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,120 the fuck? And so, and I'm like, and that's 140 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,000 not just Trump. That's everything getting here. 141 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,400 I think everything they'd go, what the fuck? 142 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,840 And so and he's like, well, if your generation was running, I 143 00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:45,200 don't think I'd want to live in this country. 144 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,360 And I'm like, well, your your generation is and I don't think 145 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,920 I do. And and I'm like, and what do 146 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,600 you think is so bad or wrong about my or different about my 147 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,160 beliefs and yours? And I was like, and he's like, 148 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,960 what's your belief on freedom? And I told him and he told me 149 00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:02,520 his and I'm like we have the exact same fucking belief. 150 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,760 Give your answer. And everything he kept saying 151 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,320 everything he mentioned, I'm like dad, we share the same 152 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,080 belief. Every position he brought up, 153 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,800 I'm like, we share that belief. I don't argue with that. 154 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,720 I think that's correct. Like and so everything that he 155 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,560 was thinking like, whoa, that. And I'm like, so here you are 156 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,240 accusing, not you, but him accusing of like, Hey, we, you 157 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,200 know, you would be such a terrible your generation would 158 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,280 fuck things up, do this. But yet you also told me we have 159 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,920 almost the exact same beliefs and things that we value and 160 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,080 respect and look for. So what the fuck? 161 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,680 Well, and a lot of it is just because of, of programming that 162 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,880 they have built themselves. It's not necessarily what was 163 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,120 forced on them, it's what they accepted. 164 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,160 And the reason why I believe that is that your dad grew up 165 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,800 during an era of a lot of free thinking. 166 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,840 And that actually meant either you followed a very strict 167 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,040 guideline, which is the culture he grew up in. 168 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,200 If we think about it, the the culture your dad grew up in Utah 169 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,840 in was predominantly white racist middle America. 170 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:06,440 Oh yeah. But The thing is. 171 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,480 And I, well, I don't know. I don't know if did the racism 172 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,520 come out of hatred. Or no, it's just it came out of 173 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:13,960 different. That's all it. 174 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,760 It was like even Grandpa, remember when Grandpa, like, I 175 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,680 mean, before he died, he was talking about like he saw a 176 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,240 black guy in Provo or something. He goes and then I saw one of 177 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,120 them Negroes and and it's just like, you know, I could tell if 178 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,000 if I said something like that completely in that context of 179 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000 just saying, oh, I saw a black guy over there. 180 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,640 Yeah, that would be. It's seen as hateful because 181 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,240 it's been built as hateful. But for them it the kids learned 182 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,799 it not because it was hateful. It's just what you said. 183 00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:45,240 Yeah, well, and that's what I thought about because my dad was 184 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,040 like, you think I'm racist? You think I'm this? 185 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,800 I'm like, I've never stated that once, actually. 186 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,640 Where are you getting that? I've actually never said that to 187 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:52,320 you. Ever. 188 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:57,000 No, you have beliefs and your beliefs are are I, I, what was 189 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,600 it? There was a really beautiful 190 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,080 way. I heard somebody say it. 191 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,280 I, it was Simon Sinek. That was such a great episode. 192 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,560 You got to, I got to send that to you. 193 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,280 It actually inspired me to create behavioral fusion like 194 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,040 'cause he was talking about what's the one thing right now 195 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,920 we have, we have coaches for everything, business coaches, 196 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,400 life coaches, talent coaches, like anything you can think of 197 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,600 sports to interpersonal relationships, right? 198 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:26,280 It's. Just a way to get better. 199 00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:29,800 You know, we don't have a coaches for how do I up your ass 200 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,120 how to make friends and you know, one of the biggest 201 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,320 requests that he would hear when he would go speaking and he was 202 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,720 talking to this other guy runs a diary of CEO podcast and a 203 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,360 Bartlett, Stephen Bartlett and Stephen Bartlett young guy. 204 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:48,520 He got he became a millionaire by 25 and beat when he was 20. 205 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:49,960 He wasn't anywhere close to that. 206 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,960 So he just, he just had this work ethic and and figured out a 207 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,680 niche and it worked really well. And now his business is diary of 208 00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:01,280 CEO podcast. And it's cool. 209 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,640 But when Simon Sinek was on there, he pointed out a lot of 210 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,840 different things that we do and is that we have focused on 211 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,320 efficiency, we have focused on clarity of message and we're 212 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,480 getting into story. But the one thing that we're not 213 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,560 doing is connecting. We are not connecting. 214 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,000 We are, we are trying to automate everything, including 215 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,600 our interactions relationally, Yeah. 216 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,400 So when that happens, we don't know how to make a genuine 217 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,400 friend. And he has gone through this 218 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,240 process of he has a lot of friends in the Special Forces 219 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,000 community you talked about. And one of the things which he 220 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,160 talked about, which he was like, oh, it's this moment. 221 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,160 And he's like, it's, it's almost like he's revealing it as 222 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,320 prophetic, which is funny because I know a lot of people, 223 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,480 including myself, used to think this because this is when I 224 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,760 started doing it. He's like, he's like everything 225 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,640 changed. You ever hear his voice? 226 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,960 It's really weird. He's from, he's been born and 227 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,960 raised here in the United States, has English accent every 228 00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:02,440 once in a while. Like it's very strange. 229 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,760 I used to, oddly, it would come out and people would go, where 230 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,440 are you from? And I'm like Provo. 231 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,440 Yeah, dude. Well, I because I did so many 232 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,520 accents and I used to do it a lot. 233 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,240 It would I. Think that's what it is? 234 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,920 It is. It's just fucking around with it 235 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,680 and it kind of gets into your verbiage and. 236 00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:22,720 I think that's the problem is like it's so much in mind 237 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,520 because it's been something I did so much because I liked how 238 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,080 it sounded. I love accents. 239 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,640 They're so but at the same time like it's been something I've 240 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,400 done for so long that like I will say something, I'm like, 241 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,920 fuck, I hope that didn't sound racist. 242 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,000 Like it wasn't intended as it. It's just like it comes out and 243 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,920 I'm like, like, even sometimes when we play games and I say 244 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,560 something in like a Hispanic accent, I'm like, shit, I hope 245 00:11:43,560 --> 00:11:45,320 Jesse doesn't. Oh, I don't care about that. 246 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,360 And I never have because I mean, you know, my wife has has 247 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,160 pointed it out. They're like, you know, I, I 248 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:57,120 grew up with this like weird pride in being Mexican because 249 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,200 my dad's Mexican. No, like this is the thing. 250 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,960 I, I, I see things very much like that, where I love what you 251 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,200 said earlier and I'll get back to Simon Sinek, but what you 252 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,160 said earlier was awesome, dude. And, and if anything, your 253 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,400 father should have been proud of you if he truly knew what it was 254 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,120 to be an American. And it's the fact that you said 255 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,800 what you said, I'm not proud to be an American. 256 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,000 Good for you because you don't have to go along with everything 257 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,760 because your idea of being an American is different from other 258 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:33,440 people And, and you have a, a, a, a lot of similar thinking 259 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,840 people going. I, I don't like it either 260 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,560 anymore. My idea of what America should 261 00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:42,360 be is not what it should be. And that's what the beauty is, 262 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,680 is that now I look at it not as one against another. 263 00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:48,640 It's just ways to be able to learn a perspective. 264 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,840 I, I try to look at, at interactions like that as I want 265 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,120 to learn your perspective. I get excited if I've learned a 266 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,920 lot and I, I wanna, you know, I've learned a lot from both 267 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,920 sides and I know how they're both trying to manipulate and 268 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,160 it's, it's, it's funny. That's why you. 269 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,920 There was a picture of a senator who had I guess covered her face 270 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,560 and 'cause it wasn't supposed to be a photo op, it was just 271 00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:13,160 supposed to be like a Senate meeting or something. 272 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,640 And she covered her face when someone tried to take a photo. 273 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,520 And then it was all the comments from both sides, left and right 274 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,680 of just like shitting all over her and that. 275 00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:25,640 And it was like, she literally just, and it's like, this is the 276 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,960 extremism of what we share versus like, did you want your 277 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,440 picture taken maybe that day? Like, is there a time that 278 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,280 you're like, fuck, I don't want this camera in my face, Get out 279 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,440 of here. Like fuck off you. 280 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,080 You know, one of the funniest conspiracy theories I love is 281 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,840 that China, China. China's been purposely 282 00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:48,200 corrupting our youth. They're getting into social 283 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,040 media. They are purposely trying to 284 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,200 destroy society. No, dude, we were. 285 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,800 We're Americans. We'll fuck it up on our own. 286 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,800 Yeah, but I mean, even that whistleblower, you found out 287 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,560 from Facebook where it was allowed, they put in and. 288 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,160 I know, but The thing is, is like people. 289 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,640 But yeah, no, we will fuck it up all on. 290 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,840 Our oh dude, well you think about the popular. 291 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,200 I mean, yes, if you introduce that, but it is a valid point. 292 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,600 It shows how soft minded many of us can be because a our own 293 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,960 opinion, we just accept opinions of others. 294 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,440 And that's kind of like dovetails right back into what I 295 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,760 was saying with Simon Sinek. He's like when this Navy SEAL 296 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,000 friend of his told him one day he goes, I love you, man. 297 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,200 And he was like, wow. And he he treats the word 298 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,280 brother as sacred as the word is love. 299 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,640 He's like, he's like a lot of people say, you know, they'll 300 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:42,640 call him brother. Yeah. 301 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,640 I truly, I truly feel that towards people. 302 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,160 If I have a connection, I'll call him brother. 303 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,880 If I don't like him, I was like a your name. 304 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,920 Yeah. Oh, Steve. 305 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,800 OK. You're all about the business 306 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:54,960 fuck head. And then I'm like, I don't want 307 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,000 to talk to that guy anymore. He's just got a bad vibe. 308 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,360 But it is, it's this thing that we have forgotten. 309 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,800 He's like nobody knows how to make friends anymore. 310 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,960 Stephen Bartle will be there talking in front of 50,000 311 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,360 people and in the front row is a bunch of young entrepreneurs and 312 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,400 they come up to him. They don't ask him how did I 313 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,040 make money? But what did you do first in 314 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,040 your business? They go, how do I make a friend? 315 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,000 How do I make friends? And he goes and that's just not 316 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,200 sometimes. That's all the time because they 317 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,480 see that I'm charismatic and I'm on stage and I'm talking to them 318 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,640 because I'm trying to inspire them to do more because I have 319 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,160 done a lot. He's like, so I know that I'm 320 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,720 going to hit one of those guys and they're going to be 321 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,520 inspired, but. Do you think it's a learn trait 322 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,000 that those kids and all of our kids have just learned to be so 323 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,880 disconnected because instead of truly connecting with them, we 324 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,280 just stuck them in front of something? 325 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,120 I don't think it was even. We stuck them in front of 326 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,280 something. You got to think about it on the 327 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,840 on the smallest scale. They were born with this in 328 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,200 their hands when we barely got it into ours. 329 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,000 Yeah. So we didn't know what it was 330 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,200 going to be like. Everything else we had no idea. 331 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,840 And and like I'm. Just asking if you not that it 332 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,960 was intentional. No, just if you think that's 333 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,480 truly what caused this massive disconnect. 334 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,560 Well, we, we've learned to be able to communicate with symbols 335 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:19,080 and with dry tone and when we interact with voice and with a 336 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:24,680 lot of our interactions are voice and tone and the words we 337 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,680 use. That's the like there's my 338 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,760 theory on it is that the communication pie, it's a lot 339 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,200 of, it's physical and then a lot. 340 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,120 Of it's tonality and yeah. But then it's like 7% is words. 341 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,000 Yeah, my idea is actually on the reverse now. 342 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,080 Because our world is so digitally connected now, I can't 343 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,680 read your body language now. I can't understand what you may 344 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,840 be communicating with the words you're using in the. 345 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,440 Tone definitely can't. No, but they're not taught 346 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,680 right. That's it. 347 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,120 They're just. Not taught well because it's 348 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,600 forgot. Because why these kids grew up 349 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,880 with this in their hands? Is it our fault? 350 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,960 I feel like I'm about to piss. Myself Oh go go go dude, you can 351 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,880 always put just. Yeah, that makes. 352 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,560 Sense I'm surprised I don't have to go. 353 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:13,560 My medications rock. I put a bunch of those in there. 354 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,960 You're gonna have a good time. Oh, dude, he's got some other 355 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,319 ones too. He he does one from what's it 356 00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:21,560 called? Oh, why can't I remember? 357 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,200 I all of a sudden I wanted to say Jamericoi and I'm like, 358 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,240 nobody listens to Jamericoi. Jamericoi doesn't listen to 359 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,160 Jamericoi. I listen to Jameric. 360 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,080 Oh my gosh, this is hilarious. I haven't liked songs. 361 00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:36,080 Oh no, no, I mean, I don't. I like the one song where he had 362 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,800 that music video where the floor is moving. 363 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,440 I've never seen their music videos. 364 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,640 Dude I grew up on music videos, that's what's sad I did. 365 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:48,920 Too, but in like early 2000s so most of those weren't on. 366 00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:52,320 I, I was watching that as soon as my parents were, they bought 367 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,880 cable and I was like 9. Oh, damn. 368 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,400 And so it was so cool, man, because that was, my mom was 369 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,080 really into music. So it was my dad. 370 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,280 And so it was great, dude. I mean, I, that was the one 371 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:05,480 thing I'd love about my childhood. 372 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:10,440 I got a very rich music library from both of my parents. 373 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,680 Like stuff that I appreciate that a lot of kids love now. 374 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,480 Like they just had a really wide variety of it, OK. 375 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,160 Yeah, my dad was like into it was called New Age music, right? 376 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,000 Like Kataro. And so the guys in the IT is 377 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,560 this Japanese dude before it was all synthesized, it was like he 378 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,280 had to create those instruments to make those sounds. 379 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,600 And he, all he had was like keyboards, you know? 380 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,960 And he would create that. I mean, even back in the day, 381 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,960 like the complex music that you hear from artists today can be 382 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,840 all mixed with software. But back then, they had, like, 383 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,520 layers of keyboards that all had different settings. 384 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,080 Yeah. And then they started getting 385 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,360 better. And they're like, all in one. 386 00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:53,800 But honestly, it would be better to have more. 387 00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:55,520 Yeah. Because then you don't have to 388 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,800 push a button. You're just going Samba. 389 00:18:59,160 --> 00:18:59,880 Right. Right. 390 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,880 And the Canon, whatever. My my parents had this Klava 391 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:08,680 Nova one by Yamaha that had it could do so much that Steph's 392 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,840 dad used to come over and compose on it because it would 393 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,680 write into the computer for you. Oh, I remember. 394 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,880 And like get all the notes of what you're playing and stuff so 395 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,560 you could transpose it, not have to worry about any shit. 396 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,080 It was so fantastic. Yeah, I never got why he didn't, 397 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,120 but it's kind of like the same with your brother Curtis. 398 00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:28,320 Oh. He was amazing. 399 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,120 He's amazing and he does not play in front of anybody ever. 400 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,160 No, and he's got. He can't even ask him he. 401 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,040 Has that one. And I asked him, I was like, oh, 402 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,280 do you use it? Like, can I borrow it? 403 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,200 And he he was like, oh, yeah, I play it all the time. 404 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,000 I've never heard you or seen you play in 20 years. 405 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,920 Yeah, it it to me, it's like the same with with my father-in-law, 406 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,600 man. It's there's some pain attached 407 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,000 to that and it's their own secret little hell. 408 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,320 Oh yeah, I mean I have a love hate relationship with piano 409 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,040 still. Like, because there was 10 years 410 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,000 of my life that I had to take well. 411 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,400 Well, I gotta say I wanted. To take lessons at the beginning 412 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,120 right then. But you didn't want to play what 413 00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:13,400 you were told to play. No, no I didn't. 414 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,680 I always transposed everything to a sharp or minor, like I was 415 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,720 always changing the keys, the tunes. 416 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,440 Like I was always like, Oh yeah, I'm going to play this in F#, 417 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,880 let's play it down here. I'm going to play this one. 418 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,160 And I would play it in every different key because I just 419 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,840 like the different sound. Oh yeah, you get loud music. 420 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,360 Yeah. And I get bored real fast. 421 00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:37,400 Did your parents, did your mom like you to play hymns? 422 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,560 Oh, yeah, all the time. And as we got older in church, 423 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,480 it was like, oh, well, you can play in priesthood every week. 424 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,120 Oh, you can do this. And it's like, fuck, I don't 425 00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:47,080 want to learn more hymns. I don't want to play more of 426 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,160 this. I want to play like I'd rather 427 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:54,120 play other types of music. And so I loved finally, when it 428 00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:57,920 was like we moved across town and we knew no one up there, 429 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,360 they didn't want to drive me across town. 430 00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:03,320 So I got to get out of piano lessons at like 14. 431 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,840 So you're still good, right? You can learn. 432 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,240 Oh, I can learn. I can read like, it takes me a 433 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,120 bit. Can you do tabs? 434 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,320 I've never done tabs with piano, I've only done sheet music. 435 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,200 The coolest thing that like that we never created. 436 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,560 I almost thought you said 10 years of therapy. 437 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,320 I'm like, you probably need. Oh, God, I wish. 438 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,840 But you know, it's it. I I I feel the same way. 439 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,040 That's one of the things like it was really hard for me because 440 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,240 I've been a martial artist since I was just a kid, little kid. 441 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,280 And it is a big part of my identity because it's something 442 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,440 that I've it's now effortless and it's there. 443 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,040 I've got a wealth of knowledge and I poured out a lot of the 444 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,400 bullshit and it it just feels whole to me. 445 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,280 Yeah. But I really wanted that for my 446 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,760 kids and we tried it once. I'm like, no, I'm not going to 447 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,840 train them because they've seen how I train other people and I'm 448 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,800 not nice. Well, I at least I wasn't nice. 449 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,360 I I was trained hard. I didn't have pads. 450 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,360 Yeah, pads were get tougher, but it was like old school karate 451 00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:06,400 and Kung Fu dudes. Like they just beat the shit out 452 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,000 of you. Mainly I think it's because they 453 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,480 like beating kids. Probably. 454 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:10,760 Well, it's it was a different era. 455 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,640 It was like the IT was the era of like, slap the shit out of 456 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,080 your kids. Well, and that's why the parents 457 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,520 were like, yeah, yeah, you're a little shit. 458 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,600 Fucking go over there to let somebody else beat you. 459 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:19,760 And I don't get in trouble for it. 460 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,840 Like, I mean, you know, my parents, I cut, I come home and 461 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:28,040 bruises everywhere, bruises all over my body and my mom's like, 462 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,360 this is what you like. I'm like, I love it. 463 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,480 And she's like, cool. But it, it was I wanted that for 464 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,720 my kids and because we started them in Taekwondo and my wife 465 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,280 goes, I don't want them learning how to fucking dance. 466 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,880 Like I love her so much. And I'm like, you're right. 467 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,560 And we pulled them right out and they hated it. 468 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,520 And after that, like, every once in a while, like, I'll have 469 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,080 people from back in the day that I used to train. 470 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,000 It's been a long time since I coached and trained. 471 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,920 And I'll have people from back in the day going, hey, man, it's 472 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,200 awesome to see you and go, can we get together? 473 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,120 And I've got some ideas. I'm still training. 474 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,520 And it all comes back and I'm playing with them. 475 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,800 Yeah. And I'm like, and my kids see it 476 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,320 and they go, wow, I want to learn that. 477 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,560 Do you have other hobbies from 20-30 years ago that you still 478 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,920 do? No, man, because that's another 479 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,160 thing too. Like I, I was, I mean, as much 480 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,960 as I'm grateful for learning martial arts at a young age and, 481 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,040 and being as fluent as I am in, in that type of stuff and 482 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,400 confident, I didn't really get to do anything else other than 483 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,400 like my parents said, yeah, play sport, play Little League. 484 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,480 And I hated it because I wasn't good. 485 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,440 Did you not do any other one or just Little League? 486 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,480 I did soccer. I sucked at soccer because 487 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,440 again, the thing was is I had parents trying to tell me how to 488 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,240 do better at it. My dad grew up playing soccer. 489 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,320 My dad was always like, he was always at my games, but I swear 490 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,880 he was always the coach, like coaching from the side, like, 491 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:55,400 hey, do that. And like, I mean, I always 492 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:56,120 looked up to my dad. You. 493 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,680 Know, but that's good. Just I I don't think that is a 494 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,920 bad thing because it was like you were you were learning 495 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,000 something about it. The difference was is that my 496 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,480 parents put me in it because they just felt like I needed to 497 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,160 do something. I think mine did too, because we 498 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,000 had such a list of everything to do. 499 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,040 And then I did basketball for a while. 500 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,680 I did. I was always doing something. 501 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,120 What I, I mean, in part of it, I made friends that I still talk 502 00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:23,680 to to this day playing baseball. Like I sucked when I, when I was 503 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,040 in 7th grade, I played, I sucked. 504 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:27,840 They stick me in right field. They're like, yeah, but that 505 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,160 kid, nobody hits the ball out there. 506 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,040 Fucking put them out there. And then when I came up to bat, 507 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,440 everybody was pissed and I'd fucking strike out or I wouldn't 508 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,760 swing. And I started trying to learn 509 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,040 how to bunt because I couldn't hit the fucking ball. 510 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:47,440 Well, I got into Kung Fu at the end of the baseball season and I 511 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:52,320 had this great teacher that he had created this audio tapes and 512 00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:55,440 cassette tapes. And you take this cassette tape 513 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,280 and he had all of this composed music that he had done through 514 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,200 instruments and synthesizers and it was really cool. 515 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,880 But he put in there like he was ahead of his time. 516 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,960 He put in subliminal messages in both of them. 517 00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:12,160 One was called internal power and one was called fighting 518 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,240 power and I'm so mad. I found it recently that there 519 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,880 is available. It's 40 bucks for the audio 520 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,920 file. So I'm like, I'm I'm saving up 521 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,080 for that on the site. I mean that's hard to convince 522 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,200 my I mean, hey, it's a music thing and it's 40 bucks and she 523 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,600 go, what is it for? It's for Kung Fu. 524 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,240 She get the fuck out of here, right. 525 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,160 But I mean, I'm, I'm gonna put like Venmo money, little dollars 526 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,440 on the side. We'll get it. 527 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:36,800 Right. I'm gonna get it later. 528 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,680 But it it was so incredible. Like after you would do Kung Fu, 529 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,800 they would always play it in their internal power. 530 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,720 And if you listen to it with your cassette tape and I would 531 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,200 put it high volume at night and I'd push it there because it had 532 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:54,040 this like leaflet inside and it had a bulleted list of all of 533 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,920 the sayings. It was going to tell you. 534 00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:00,960 There was 98 sayings in there to help you with inner calm, all 535 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,360 that and it's subliminal. And truly it would put you in a 536 00:26:04,360 --> 00:26:08,640 meditative state while you were training and it it dulled the 537 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:09,880 pain. It was weird. 538 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,120 It was that. But then fighting power. 539 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:17,960 He's like only listen to it once a week so don't tell ADDHD kids 540 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,160 that. And so when do I listen to it 541 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,400 all the time, non-stop. That's in my cassette player all 542 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,360 the time. And you can hear the subliminal 543 00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:29,920 messages more clearly. And it's talking about 544 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,440 attacking, looking for the angles, like all of these things 545 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,720 that he wants you thinking about when you're fighting somebody. 546 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,600 And I used to play at baseball. So 8th grade comes around and 547 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,480 I'm like, I'm getting better. 9th grade shit, dude, I was 548 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,040 crushing that ball. I was taking the cover off that 549 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,920 thing. I was running faster. 550 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,800 I was catching faster. I see you played it for years 551 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,160 then. Oh, yeah, I love baseball at 552 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,920 that point, but my parents, like, that was the only thing. 553 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,600 And then after that, like, I mean, we didn't have a lot of 554 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,880 money at the time. And they're like, oh, do we want 555 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,320 you to play for the All Stars and da, da, da, that's 'cause 556 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:02,760 they like my name.

Like you got Jesse Angeles 560 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,000 coming up #13 Right. I mean, that sounds like a 561 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,120 baseball player name. But my parents are like, no, no, 562 00:27:16,120 --> 00:27:17,880 no, we're going to put all the money into. 563 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,280 And this is the way I felt. I'm sure that's not the way it 564 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,200 was. But they put everything into my 565 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,480 sister. She played accelerated softball, 566 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,160 but she didn't, she couldn't even play for the the high 567 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,080 school because she was way higher level. 568 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,440 She's like those girls that that you see on ESPN, yeah, where 569 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:38,320 they do that super fast under pitch, like you're a slap and 570 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,400 that ball.

You watch these girls play like 577 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,600 I was like at a young age, I'm like, I have to take 578 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,360 testosterone just. Yeah, you're like, I feel like 579 00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:02,200 my balls are smaller just watching this. 580 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,240 Totally. I'm I'm going backwards in time 581 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,760 and you know, why is the hair going away like it's going in 582 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,320 I'm. Still there, right? 583 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,480 But but dude, like, they put everything into that. 584 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,040 And the only thing I could do, my dad was like, well, you've 585 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,280 always done martial arts. So when I asked to go back into 586 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,080 martial arts again after leaving it for a couple of years, he's 587 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,440 like, absolutely. And they put me in there and but 588 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,200 it's got to be cheap. So I had to learn, negotiate 589 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,000 with my Kung Fu teacher telling him what I can do and clean the 590 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,080 place if if needs be I will do whatever it need to. 591 00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:38,320 I got a paper route to pay for it. 592 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,160 I remember having a paper route. Dude, kids. 593 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,560 Need papers dude. That's the one thing I missed 594 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,280 too, is that there's something about the commitment of. 595 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:52,360 Getting up at the butt crack of dawn wrapping and getting like 596 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,880 these stacks.

Too, we did a paper route and we 613 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,600 did so many paper.

My, I have, I, I, I wrote this 624 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,400 little book about men trying to be able to interact. 625 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,480 I, I hear that all the time.

I don't know how to talk to 628 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,800 women. And they make it more 629 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,200 complicated because, well, we don't have examples anymore. 630 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:25,960 We grew up with sitcoms and, and funny movies and they kind of 631 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,840 helped you out in some ways. You, you learned how to read 632 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,840 facial expressions and tone and, but it was subconscious, but you 633 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,200 were learning it. Now what do we get? 634 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,600 We get filtered shit to buy more stuff, not to fit an agenda. 635 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,000 It's to buy more stuff.

You know, you've said it a lot 738 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:47,240 and it's like, you know, it's because we, we, we babysit these 739 00:35:47,240 --> 00:35:50,600 kids with these devices. But I've looked at it going, 740 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,320 well, they were raised with it. So it's not necessarily it's 741 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,760 and, and a lot of people have tried to keep it out of their 742 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,640 kids hands. Like, you know, Gab wireless, a 743 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,760 company here in Utah, they're known a lot of places. 744 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,320 They have a really dumbed down phone that your kid will use for 745 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,600 about two months and then get mad at you and leave it in the 746 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,200 drawer because it's super limited. 747 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,800 You can't do anything on it. And they go, why don't we just 748 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,680 get a flip phone? Well, Brandon said that with his 749 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,360 I'm just going to get a flip phone and then you're going to 750 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,000 get a really nice camera and then you're going to get an MP3 751 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,360 player if they sell those. Or you'll just have like an old 752 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,480 iPhone or something you bring with you to do stuff anyway. 753 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,640 And then you're like, well, you know, this is for my music and 754 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,080 my camera.
