I'm Brandon. And I'm Jesse we're.
Cannabis school having cannabis infused conversations with
everyday. People.
Cannabis companies. Celebrities.
And your mom? Welcome to the sash.
So this is a fun hobby of mine. I don't even know if it's a hob.
Yeah, you can call it a hobby everywhere.
It's a time waster. It's my time.
Fuck you, I'll spend it the way I want.
But video games, I enjoy video games and entertainment in
general. And I don't know about you guys,
but I'm just having a really tough time with any of it.
It's just there's no entertainment.
Have you found? I haven't found really any great
new TV shows any new like, hey, this movie came out and it was
fantastic. Like you know, I I've not been
super impressed with anything lately.
Everything that's been good has been old.
It's been like my my guilty pleasure still is Top Gear.
That's what I'm. The old top.
That's what I watch. Yeah.
It's. Not the American top.
Oh no, it sucks awful. Like and I thought about that.
I'm like, I was just Americans going, oh, we're trying to be
cool. Come look at our cars.
And I'm like, but all the American cars that they test and
show in Top Gear are all the great ones that we have here.
And they're all. Pure shit.
So you know. Yeah, well, and plus they they
don't sound as cool 'cause they're not British.
I know. Yep, it's just not the same.
No, they're just not the same. The way they deliver the lines,
everything. And then you have the American
guys. Yeah, hearing you.
We get a Corvian. You're just.
Like or Dodge, like all these tracks fucking these cars here
and I'm like. What is that new Corvette?
What? The newest one?
The last one I don't like. I hate it.
It always like gets you fooled for a second.
You're like, that's the. Reason why I don't like it.
I've never liked Corvette. I've never thought they were.
The only Corvettes that I thought were like the prettiest
versions are in the 60s. Those are the prettiest Gray
Corvette that I think they've made, but I've still never
wanted or cared for them. Dude, that Corvette.
So my wife's grandfather owned one of those.
Oh, OK, that's cool. It was an orangish color, the
same color as his. Dune buggy.
Yeah, it's dune buggy. That one is the one that he he
had this thing and it he never drove it because well, dude,
one, it's a. Crazy.
It was a classic. Dude, the exhaust, they didn't
go out the back out and run along the sides.
And win it right out in front of the rear tires.
Yeah, yeah, those are cool because it was a classic that he
didn't drive it. No, it just he would drive it
for a little while, go out like on Sunday drives and then it was
in the shop. Oh wow mm hmm that sucks.
And it had a 454 in it. Yeah, they have big motors, but.
Fucking, I mean dude. And that thing's impressive.
The other thing that sucked about that thing is when you get
into it, it's like you're jump like trying to do a cannonball.
You have to jump into your seat like this.
And then the great part is you better have a real good base to
get out of the car or else you will burn your fucking leg if
you're wearing. Shorts touching the exhaust,
Yeah. And there was like a part of it
was a family party and he was taking everybody out for a ride
to show it, which it wasn't. He wasn't going fast.
He's all this shit. So he's like, and just a little
bit, he gets back and one of his daughters was in there and she
gets out. This is like July fucking seared
her calf. It's like why?
Would anybody help? I mean, the The funny thing is,
is both of my kids have a little mark on the inside of one of
their ankles from either a scooter or a motorcycle.
Or branding. That's what they do to hold
their kids. They go hold on, let me see
their ankle. Yeah, that's mine.
Yeah. No, it's just.
Get in the truck. As like the they were it took
you teach them and you're like, don't hop off on that side.
Don't hop off on that side. And yet it takes one time and
then they learn they're like, I will not hop off on that side.
And I'm like, I've told you every time, but it's just, you
know, sometimes that happens and it it's crazy.
It sucks it but you it's like an instant move your leg.
Yeah. It's.
Horrible. I would.
I took us off course. OK, so go back.
So with entertainment right now, so like I was talking about
video games. So the state of video games
right now is totally crazy and it's a good thing.
But it's also going to be like, it's like taking all these
people who love to go to buffets and they eat there all the time,
and then all the sudden they just shut them down.
All of them, even like you were saying, GTA 6.
They're talking about raising base price to $100 for the game.
Yeah, 'cause you get some economist.
But as that happens, if that game goes to 100, every game,
every normal game will be based at 100.
Well, and that's the great part too, because what it will do
right now if you're, I mean games are $75.00 with tax.
Oh yeah, it's already fucking expensive.
It's super. Expensive for a game.
So now I'm way more careful about getting a game.
Like, I'll get it on sale, I'll get it, it's been a couple years
since it launched. Like I don't need a launch game
unless I really want to play it. And my mistake, this last one
was Baldur's Gate, 'cause I like, I love RPGs, but man, I
can't spend that amount of time into a game.
Yeah, well, I didn't. The worst part for me, that was
like buying. I'd never bought a release game
or one like that. And then I had heard about, God,
what was it? It wasn't Dark Souls 3, but I
did buy Dark Souls 3 when it was newer because someone was like,
oh, it's an amazing game, you should get it.
And I got it. And the worst part about games,
when you buy them like that on PlayStation or anything, you
can't return them. So if you play it for 5 minutes
and go I fucking hate this. That's what's really cool about
like some of the programs that they have on PlayStation and
Xbox, because then you can just go, I pay for a subscription all
year for those and I can use it to play this game and to see if
I like it. It lets you play it for like, I
think it's 90 minutes of gameplay.
It's a good chunk of time and you get to kind of see how it
is, but you don't have to pay for it, but there.
Was one other game worth it? And I can't think of what it
was, but it literally just launched and it was like it was
supposed to be such an amazing game.
And that and I didn't look up anything about the actual game.
I just had read and heard from everyone that it was supposed to
be this amazing game. What was that Elden Ring?
No, no, it wasn't that one. It was some other one.
And I downloaded it like I bought it when it was released
and it was 6065 bucks at the time I opened it and I was like,
this is the dumbest. I would never play this.
I don't like this. And it was like, I can't return
it. I can't do anything with this.
But you know, and then when it's digital, it's not like I can go
sell the disc or take it to GameStop or something.
So I'm just like, well, now I'm out that and I just have this
shitty game that I'll never play that, you know, is a lot of
other people might like it. But I guess now I've just got
it. Well, it's like Sid Meier's,
right? Like there's a lot of people who
love Sid Meier's, like they just had a new one drop.
Is that a game? Yeah, it's a game.
It's a world building game like you can start out as.
Like Sims? No, no, no, no.
Like you'll have you'll start out as you can pick a time
paint, place it in time and you can go ancient Sumeria or even
older than that. And then you start to grow, and
then you're cultivating and you're.
Civilization and stuff. Yeah, that's civilization,
right, Sid Meier's Civilization. So I know, I'm sorry.
I was saying Sid Meier because it just all over the marketing,
but now it's so detailed, like it's all it goes up to today.
And so it's like the everything changes and all that stuff.
I can't get into those games. People pay 7000 dollars $150.00
for all the extra DLC no problem.
They're like take my money, I can't spend that kind of money
on it. And now I'm even more picky with
games because I just, I just feel like they don't have the
depth that they used. To Yeah, well, the stories
aren't as good that the game plays not as interesting.
Like even going back to PS3 or PS2 games, there was so much
better games and Oh yeah, and like gameplay and stuff.
Yeah, they were maybe older shitty graphics because, but
that was at the time what was out.
So I look back and it's like we talk about Splinter Cell and
that game, Medal of Honor and all these other games that used
to be really good games. Yeah.
And now it's like the games that come out, I'm like, what is this
garbage? It's all focused on multiplayer.
That's why I don't like Fortnite.
That's why I don't like Co-op campaign multiplayer like used
to be in the great times. It's like.
It's just the Gotham shooters. Yeah, like the Fortnite style
and that where I'm like, I don't.
See dude, that's another game. I I'm big into military shooters
and Brandon and I played Ghost Recall.
You guys know, we talked about that so much and I play
Insurgency. I stopped playing Insurgency
just recently just because I'm over the top right?
You can't get the little rank emblem.
Didn't take a very short break. Yeah, it took like a couple.
Weeks, but now I'm like, I have I have no desire because I got
Arma Reforger and that game is insanely hard and I don't know
what I'm doing and but what I'm interested in is the element of
it. And last night, like you jumped
off and I was getting off and Steph's like, don't worry, I got
a bunch of stuff to do. She's like, go ahead and play
and I'm like, I haven't done that in a while.
So I played that game and I didn't want to play it long, so
I kept watching, kept looking at my watch.
Well, because that game is the other.
Night you're up till 3 something playing.
Well, because other games I won't, I won't play that long.
I will be like, OK, that's why I like playing like Batman or
Final Fantasy later on, because then I can only play so much of
it. And then my brains like, yeah,
we're good, let's just go to bed.
But that game, because nobody's there's nothing except you.
And then you got to find people. Yeah, well, and it's crazy,
'cause there's no like tactical map on there.
You literally pull up a physical map and it doesn't show a marker
of you or anything. It's just.
Like they have a how to look, it's going to show that you can
see everybody else on there. So they're little packages and
they'll have their name on it. But the what I was learning
about that game is that if you want to communicate radio with
somebody else, you have to set up radio points, you have to set
communication towers, you have to set up.
The frequencies and stuff. Yeah, you can change the
frequencies I did see. That on the radios I was like,
what the crap? Yeah, you can create your own
security frequency and everybody can talk on that if you have a
good team. And then on top of that, like if
you don't have that, you have to be within like 20 feet.
A very short distance to hear a radio frequency or pick it up.
You'll only hear the voices. And so you also have to be
careful because when you're walking up on a place that's
being held by the enemy, you have to be quiet and you have
to. You can whisper, they can hear
it, but they don't know where it's coming from.
But if you're talking. They'll hear it.
They know where it's coming from.
But last night I was playing it and there was this random dude
and I, I don't know what the fuck's going on.
And the guy's like, hey, Reaper or you're on our Discord, right?
And I'm like, no, I, I'm not even on Discord, dude.
And he's like, oh, oh, I got a guy in my team that has Reaper
in his name. He's like, well, what do you
want to do? And I'm like, I, I don't know,
dude, I'm brand new to this game.
He's like, oh, hold on. He pulls out his map and you see
the guy pull out his map, he's looking at it.
And then he puts it away and he goes, all right, we're going
this way and we're just following.
And we walked forever. Oh, yeah.
And then all of a sudden he's like, OK, around this corner, we
should have see somebody. And they pull up my scope, and
there's one dude you could see this head.
And I'm like, oh, shit, I was OK I got guys over here and here.
And because we're so far away, they can't hear us.
Yeah. Because we don't have radio
comms. Set up or we.
Can't they can't intercept the radio comms?
So it was really cool. But The funny thing I was
shooting at dudes and like when you shoot dudes usually like in
Call of Duty, there's like a big dramatic fall.
This one he just drop. Yep, like a real guy.
Oh yeah, 'cause I, I had shot and I was like, man, I missed.
And then a second later it was like boom.
And I was like, Oh no, it's like a real bullet.
It had to travel. Hit him and then he dropped it.
Yeah. Like I was like holy shit.
'Cause in the other games it's like they're going like four
times the speed of real bullets. Yeah, it's like Boo, Boo, Boo.
Ohh he yeah. Yeah, he's dead across there,
but it took time to get to him. It's exactly what happened.
But then I I got a little too excited and me and this guy
Ghost took all. I'd watch this video and it was
like if you hear shots coming towards you, drop to the ground.
Yep. And so I was like, OK, so I
dropped to the ground and he was here.
Snap, snap. And I'm like, oh, shit.
And then you're looking through these blades of grass and your
eyes get blurry because you're squinting.
That's why they're trying to. And it's just like, and the
bullet's going over. So it's making you nervous and
all of a sudden I'm shooting at these guys and they start
shooting at me. This guy is ghost on there and
he just goes hold on Reaver and just he shoots one of the guys
and I get up and I run over and I see two guys running and I
shoot 1 and I shoot the other and he goes, oh, wait a minute.
I think that's one of our guys. And I'm like, no, he goes, dude,
I think he shot it on one of our guys.
I'm like, I wouldn't have done that.
I I clearly saw that guy. I would have seen his name
marker and I'd get over to him and the guys on the ground and,
and the cool thing is you can check him for injuries.
Yeah. So I check him for injuries and
I'm like, dude, he's messed up. And he's like, oh, I got to get
a saline and I'm like, hold on. We got to get a.
Bandage and Oh my God, it was your guy.
Yeah, it totally was. And then you know what, dude?
It's not like you heal him and they just get up.
You have to wait for them to get better.
What? So the guy's slowly getting
better. Like the, the, you remember,
like in punch out, you had to sit there between matches and
anyway, I played that. But anyways, you, you go through
this and then all of a sudden the guy like he wakes up, his
gun is dropped. So he has to pick up his gun and
he gets up and the and the character just like laying there
one second and then he rolls over to his face and then he's
up like he teleported and he's like what the fuck?
That's nuts. 'Cause you don't see the person,
what you see is wow. We get the the wow, wow.
Wow, and there's green light. Cause dark horse is.
Dropping. But you can't hear or see
anything really, 'cause you're blacking out.
And you could black out totally, but your screen hasn't left, so
you're just like, OK, maybe they'll bring me back.
We brought the guy back and you're injured.
After that point, you're injured.
You go to a hospital, you can get fixed up, but you're
injured. And that's how deep this game
goes. And that's why I could disappear
forever. And I killed like four people.
I got in this car. The last part I played, I got in
this car and I'm like, yeah, this time 'cause we were going
around this corner, I'm like, where are we going?
The guy's like, oh, I know it's a really good place.
And I'm like, hey, shouldn't we avoid the main roads?
And he's like, no, no, no, it's cool.
I know a shortcut. We get around this corner and
you see the dudes like in the front blood's like flipping all
over. And I'm like, get out of the
car. Get out of the car, man, I'm
dead. And then these I hear over the
over the voices. Oh shit.
Oh, that was our guys. Hey guys, we're really sorry
about that. We.
Oh that's hilarious. You got killed by your own team.
Dad, you got to really pay attention to what you're
shooting at and are. You supposed to know?
By the by the. By the color of their clothes.
So you, you really have to be careful and wow, it's pretty
good. It's, it's, it's really funny.
It's super hard to know what the fuck to do.
That's a crazy sound. I've only played a little bit in
it still, that's like. This guy, I met this guy in the
game and he was like, yeah, I've been playing for about two weeks
now. And I said, well, what do you
mean? He goes, well, I bought it in
December, but it was such a janky game at the time.
Yeah, he's like, so I just wait and I he goes in and they're
still having troubles because it's.
Yeah, they're they didn't anticipate it to grow this big.
And so they're it's kind of like hell divers, but.
Oh yeah, I mean, we haven't touched that in ages.
I just. It just got so insanely, just
overwhelmingly anxiety inducing. This is like, but it it wore,
but it was fun for a while. It was, yeah.
I mean, it wasn't bad. It just, I mean they reached the
point of what was it? The bots or something were so
fucking hard and it would just come in crazy ass waves, but
then it seemed like we almost defeated everything they had in
the game for a bit and it was like, wait, what the hell?
Like, are they not gonna give us more?
Now it's super insane. We haven't gotten back on and.
Oh man, there's people. What do you guys play?
What are you playing lately? What's your style of games that
you guys play or do you even play games?
What do you like to do in your free time when you're, you know,
not working? Comment below.
Let us know what you actually like to spend your time doing.
Maybe it's just sitting, smoking weed, listening to Brandon and
Jesse's soothing sounds of the Sabbath.
I mean, the way he was going out, I was almost like one of
those radio show announcers, kind of like Casey Kasich.
And we're going to be able to listen to the top hits.
Just pay attention over here. Never got Bono, you 2.
Wow, Bono, you 2. I don't know if that would be on
my. No, I'm I'm not AU2 fan.
There was what was it? There was this girl at the
dispensary, the bud tender, real nice girl.
Couldn't tell she was being fake though 'cause.
Oh my God, there was, So I went. To the way she was smiling and
I'm just like, are you OK? Did you have lemon juice?
I went to some place with my kids and we were at the where
you It was a drive in drive through and I was ordering at
the wind at the speaker thing. And the lady sounded like so
over the top, like happy and shepherd and like, Oh my God,
welcome hi. And then when we get up to the
window, she talks like that and every time her voice stops, her
face goes literally just like hi.
Oh my God. And I was like, what in the
world? Is this faking it 'cause she's
up there so? Fake seeming, but it was just so
really clear when you saw her face.
And I was like, well, that was very interesting.
Dude, I'd love to fuck with. If I worked at the drive
through, I would fuck with people all the time.
I'd be like talking different accents.
Totally. Yeah, yeah, that's all I would
do. Like, I mean, you just have
like, a really horrible, like, Latin accent.
Yeah, I did. Somewhere down to the window.
And I would do accents all the time because I got bored.
And it that job, it wasn't my fast, it was this little rinky
dink one in this shitty call center.
But it was literally a script. So I had it memorized and I'm
like, yeah, I'm gonna see if I can do this in different
accents. And so then our like, the floor
manager had the highest record for the day and I beat him.
And so then I was like, well, I wonder if I could do it in a
British accent and beat him. So I did that.
And then the next day I was like, I wonder if I could do it
in an Indian accent. I didn't beat him, but I still
got like, more than probably anyone else on the floor.
But it was just like these shits and giggles of like, hey, yeah,
I'm just here like, fuck it, why not?
Well. It'd be so much fun to do it at
the drive through because they hear your voice and then they
get up there and they're like, what the fuck?
And he just go to your regular voice going, yeah, it's going to
be 573, right? And they're like.
'Cause the other one, they never saw me, it was all over the
phone, so it didn't. Matter.
And then when you give him the food, you go have a good day,
right? So they're like you, son of a
poo. Take you come.
In slides close. That'd be awesome.
That'd be so much fun to do. Just because I know.
You know what? That would be fun for the person
too, because then they can have a good laugh.
Unless they're super sensitive, they're like, you know, that's
not very nice. Yeah.
Oh well. I'm really surprised and people
may be disappointed. I went to pick up food at a
place and walked in and the guy had just a ton of orders.
He was dealing with tons of stuff and I'm standing there and
it's maybe 1015 seconds, maybe like it's no time at all.
He's like, oh man, I'm I'm so sorry.
I'll be with you in just a just a minute.
And I'm like, oh, it's fine. Take your time.
And it's literally maybe another 20 seconds as he unloads what's
in his hands. And then he turns to me.
He's like, oh, thanks for your patience.
Like I appreciate that. I was like, no, it's not a big
deal. You got a shit ton of stuff
there. Like, yeah, but don't even worry
about it. And he's like, and at the end he
was like, no, I, I truly appreciate that.
I'm like, how sad is that? That that is what people are
thankful for at their job when it, it's dealing with another
human. It's like, how shitty do we have
to be as people? That, that that's the
thankfulness that where they're like, how many bad interactions
do they have with someone like hurry up, Hey, where's my food
or like, or whatever it is, the interaction, it's always like
negative for, you know. Yeah, no, I, I that's a good
observation because I, I thought that same thing.
And I think what it is, is that there's before like waiters
weren't treated. I mean, you had a couple
assholes here and there, but mostly the, you know, anybody
who helps you treated them very kindly.
Oh yeah, because it's the service they're doing for you.
But at the same time, like there's this notion that came
out the customers always, right, right.
And that could have worked in the department store.
But when it comes to like food service or any type of like
actual manual service, you can't talk to people that way or ever
be that way to them. But there was this whole
entitlement. It's the same shit where there
is a fucking crosswalk. Guess where you cross the
crosswalk? Not anywhere that you fucking
please. There's laws against, there's.
Jaywalking, but a lot of. Cops don't bust people for
jaywalking because it's annoying to them.
I get it. But at the same time there's
this entitlement. Like if you go into a parking
lot, it's customary giant vehicle, why don't you go
through? It's going to be a lot quicker
for you to go through. And I know you're trying to get
to a parking spot. No problem.
Go through. What is it?
Fucking people just walk through, moving around here.
It's like fucking Disneyland or something.
Like I walk where I want. I know like, fuck these people.
It's so. Weird.
Well, it's. Even inconsiderate, rude
assholes. That, yeah, 'cause even going to
the grocery store and I'm in the grocery store and I'm like,
you're walking one way and then you see someone else and they
literally intentionally like go in front of you and then they're
like not even going that way. They like, I don't think many
people put a lot of thought into way they walk in grocery stores.
And I think about it, I'm like, you probably drive the very
similar way that you're not very much seeming like you're paying
attention. You are very distracted because
people, I notice they're walking and they're walking out, but
their heads looking a whole different way and like you're
going to walk into someone. You're an adult, you should have
a like situational awareness enough to go, hey, I'm walking
out into another thing. It's like people at a stop sign
and I see them. I'm always curious with this
because I think about it like flow of traffic would be so much
better. But I noticed that this is how
stop signs work here. It's a four way stop.
I'm coming up to the stop sign. There's already a car stopped
there. I'm still 3040 fifty feet away,
slowing down as I get there. They're still stopped there.
I pull up to stop. They're still stopped there.
They then go because now I'm stopped and I'm like, what the
fuck is this traffic? Like are you not that aware?
You can go, Hey, look, I can use my eyes.
Hey, they're slowing down. Yep, I can see they're slowing
down. I'm going this direction.
I've got so much time that I can make the drive move that I'm
doing and have tons of time. I'm not going to have to floor
it. I don't have to punch it.
I can just accelerate at a normal rate.
Like there's all these things and I look at, I'm like, most
people don't live life aware. I feel like they live it so
subconsciously that they're not almost there.
Well, it's, it's manners. Manners have been kind of tossed
aside because, you know, well, we don't need to be told how to
act in society because, you know, that's just a way to
control us and to keep us docile, whatever that means.
But it's like, excuse me, pardon me, You know, all the time if I
walk in front of someone at the store, I'm like going to grab
something in front. I'm like, oh, pardon me, excuse
me. Because they're not paying
attention. They're just standing there.
But I'm letting them know, hey, I'm coming to grab this.
I'm not trying to just because I noticed that all the time.
I'll be if I'm there grabbing something, there's so many
people that will literally just step right in front of me and
I'm like, what? Yeah, like, well, and it's the
same thing. Like, I mean, you want to see a
real good example of why manners have kind of fallen off is just
watch these fat little tubby kids with a ton of fucking
snacks and the shirts too small and their bellies hanging out.
And it's not because, you know, they they can't afford to clothe
the kid as the kids growing too fucking fast and they don't have
time to go do it 'cause they're trying to keep up everything
else. And those kids act like entitled
shits in the store. The first thing I do is I look
at the parent and the parent just.
Yeah. Like, yeah, whatever.
What do you want me to do? Like.
I know I'm so surprised at how many people 'cause I'll be
walking through a store and I'm like, man, there was a perfect
parenting opportunity for that parent, but they just, they're
so oblivious to or just don't care.
Like they're just so numb to it's.
Not even just numb dude. It's it's.
This. They're so used to it.
They're they're being taught to be entitled.
They've been taught to be entitled.
They've been indoctrinated to be entitled.
The customer's always right. Guess what?
No, you're not. No, you're not.
Sometimes the food is fucked, right?
Yeah. Nope.
Sometimes the food gets fucked up.
And that's just, that's just the laws.
I. Think you're always right, you
have a problem. No, you're probably wrong.
Yeah, that's the same. Yeah.
But it's like, Oh my goodness. But everyone's wrong, you know?
No ones ever always right? Did.
That's why I, I try to, it's not that I, I, I just try to be
really good to people. So I have to remove that.
It hasn't always been that way. But I understand I haven't
either, right? I'm way more appreciative now
and understanding and like trying to see the situation go
like, hey, what is all this other stuff that I don't see?
Like, I have no idea what's going on this person's life
right now. Oh, dude, like I had a good
parenting moment. My son Phoenix, he had the
mouthwash in his hand and was going to pour it and it slipped
out of his hand and it poured all over the ground.
And my wife and I are standing there and my wife was just like,
oh, shit, what's Jesse going to do?
And I paused because I was just taking it in.
I'm like, cool, you don't need to tell him.
Why'd you do that? You don't need to yell at him.
Just offered to help in cleaning it up.
And I was like, hey, buddy, this happens.
Don't worry about it. Let's get some paper towels, get
this cleaned up. And my wife was just like, whoa,
right. But it's not like, hey, cool how
I'm looking at myself. It's, it's being aware.
It's being aware. Do I really need to be upset
that I'm not able to order my meal Fucking, you know, Panda
Express, I have to wait like 3 or 4 minutes to get up to the
line to take 3 or 4. It would take you hours to cook
all that shit, but then you're gonna fucking bitch about it.
But then I look at it and like how many other people are in
line in front of me? How many people are behind the
counter there? You know what?
You. Can see how much work they're
physically doing. It's not like they're going
sitting there in the corner. They're all texting, laughing,
giggling. No, they're all working.
Yeah. So I can understand that.
Hey, as a person, I can understand.
There's only so much you can do in so much time.
And they're doing what they can. So instead of going in and
going, and sometimes it's hard because life is frustrating.
We just came through a lot of traffic.
We came from shitty job, whatever, but at the end of the
day, the person that human you're interacting with well.
Depending on where you're at. If it's Taco Bell, there's no
peep. Right.
But like that is just like they're another person just
doing their job and maybe they've had a really long day of
eight hours or 10 hours or whoever dealing with other
assholes coming through getting mad at them or frustrated
because their work is really busy and they're doing their
job, but the workplace is really busy.
Mm hmm. I'm sorry that my job is really
busy. I would you like to switch me
spots because I'd love to be in your position instead of mine
like. Yeah, it's facts, dude, facts
and, and but The thing is, is like, you know, the other I I
look at is need not one of these jobs out there is not important.
Like there are jobs there that can be replaced, Data entry jobs
I I feel bad for those. Guys, no, like we've talked
about, there are jobs that are unimportant.
It's like all the SAS companies that are going the way that are
not actually needed. Well, the positions that they
had there, like even look at the social media landscape, like you
had project managers that weren't project managers and
they would do like a day in the life of working over at Google.
And you're like, what the fuck do you do all day?
And they make like killer money too.
And you're like, fuck you like, but it was just, it was a small
dream that was going to go away. And it did.
And they all lost their jobs. And they're like, where do I go?
And that, that's another thing. It's this false sense of, of
achievement that I think is given to those individuals
because now they like a good friend of ours.
I go, I won't say her name, but you know, she went through this
time where she was like, I'm worth this.
She got a job finally. She says she goes, I don't know
how I did. She interviewed so many times.
Yeah. And she end up having to go for
way less than what she expected. And I was like, yeah.
And I was saying to her, I was like, yeah, some companies set
up realistic, real, unexpected, unrealistic.
Thank you. Yeah, big time.
And you get out there, it's like, that should be a big red
flag. If a company's like giving you
quick raises and stuff, it's like, oh shit, like maybe I need
to be looking for another job. Oh yeah, you know what's crazy?
They're going out. So Tesla gives bonuses, but then
the bonus you can't actually use.
You don't get all the money if you take it as a a physical cash
bonus. They just break that into 52
checks. And so you just get like another
30 bucks per check. Or you can put it all in stocks,
which you don't get if you leave before the year.
Yeah, or you can take it in PTO, but you can only use 20 hours of
it in PTO, so you can't actually use all of it.
And so you actually have to diversify it in all of those
basically to do it or like keep it all in stock or something.
I would type it in stock, wait for a year and so.
I was like, wow, that's such a weird, but honestly, they, they
seem to take out the human side. Like don't have anything at your
desk that makes you, you don't have any pictures, any anything.
Don't bring in blankets, don't bring in like they don't want
anything 'cause they're very interesting company I would
think. They're very efficient company
on many things that they want to be able to do and the reason why
it's just because they're in the technological space.
You have an autistic guy who is leading the company.
He didn't found the company, he's leading the company and
they've done great things underneath his leadership, but
he is disconnected. He knows that.
It's not a hard thing for him to know that, but it's it's hard
for other people when you don't understand it and you think
he's. Underneath him, yeah.
Right. Or, or he's just impossible.
Like, no, he's not being personal with you.
Oh. 100%, yeah. No, there's no personality in
that company. Dude, he was saying on the news,
it was hilarious that he got an interview with him And, and, and
the best part about it, one of these reporters was just like,
well, you know, we need to be making sure that you're keeping
all your checks and balances to make sure that you're being
appropriate and not being counterfeit and not being
deceitful. And he goes no, and I'm going to
be completely, he's like, this has been extremely transparent.
You can go to the website on X. We post every single day what we
find. That's it.
I'm being completely transparent.
But I understand that all of you are going to clock crawl up my
orifices and that's totally fine.
It'll be like a going a proctology exam.
The only thing I'm going to say to you guys is you better camp
out there for a while because I ain't going anywhere.
And I was like, literally he just said to him in the nicest
way, you guys can go up my ass and hang out.
I don't care. And it was like that, the way he
talked. I'm like, people are like, oh,
he's he's you don't understand autism.
There's no bullshit in their mind.
They don't think in allegories or in metaphors.
It's straight. So he can't be deceitful even if
he wanted to, because he doesn't understand what that means.
He just doesn't. Think any autistic person
understands deceit? No, no, they, they can learn.
They can learn, but it's very it's it's over.
Time and he's definitely old, so he could definitely have learned
it over time. Yeah, but he's very, he's very
childlike in many of his sense, because it's his.
Way. It's his way.
You know, Steve Jobs was very much like that, too.
It's my way, not your. Way was he?
Do you know if he was autistic? I don't know, I have no idea.
I think we all have autistic traits in one way or another and
autism is just a. Brand.
Well, it's yeah. But there's just a specialized
mind, like with my son, like when one of the teachers told
him at school that because it was awesome, because my son
goes, they asked, one of the teachers asked him.
I said, So what does your dad do all day?
He go, I don't know. He smokes pot a lot, though.
And they're all what? And he goes, you know, weed.
He smokes weed. And they're like, I no, you
you're not. And my sister-in-law works there
as an aid and she's like, oh, Dick, here's the she's like, oh,
my gosh. And I'm like, why are you
worried about it? Yeah.
And they were telling him they're like, there's no way
your dad does that because it's bad for you.
You can die from it. All this nonsense, right?
Yeah. And fear in him of.
Yeah. And, and he comes back home and
I just came out of the garage smoke.
Yeah, Yeah. And he's like, Dad, I want to
talk to you. And they're like, sure.
And he started telling me what they said.
And I said, hey, no problem. But it's like they're, they just
learned something a long time ago that isn't that way.
And I said, let me teach you about it.
And I went through it, and he just absorbed it all.
And then one of the teachers said something, I'm sure.
And he just said he goes, yeah, I explained to him that you talk
about medical cannabis. Yeah.
And that nobody's ever died from it.
And that's a lie. Yep, that's true.
And and so that was it. The that's where I think mind
controlled like a SIOP done on on the US population.
There's a crazy thing I'll share with you on it, but and it's not
from a conspiracy website. It's legit like a dude who's
studied economics and a lot of these things.
And US aid is one of the things and it is ACIA front to
distribute funds. And there's a cool crazy thing.
But if you think about it, if you train a society to be
consumers like ours, then they won't question as much.
No, we don't question much at all actually, I feel like.
Not not until recently. You're seeing more questions
come to light. There are definitely some you
know now starting to question. And it's good.
It's good. It's about time, yeah.
But the the same time it's dude, it's a lot of it comes down to
just really wanting to connect with other people because you
realize that life is a lot easier when you got a lot of
friends. Yeah, when you have people
surrounding you that you like genuinely connect with, because
the thing that sucks is being surrounded by people and feeling
totally alone or feeling lonely when you're surrounded by people
because there is no connection, because there's no actual true
deep bonding or, you know, understanding of who each other
are. And that can be one of the
loneliest places to be is surrounded and yet alone.
Yeah, I no better example than a few nights ago, I was invited to
speak to this group of of young adults and young adults beating
from like 19 to like 27. And the this ecclesiastical
leader and locally set it up and had reached out to Kim for 12
shapes. And she's like, I'm in Mexico,
but I have a bunch of coaches that are close by.
And she put it out to all of us. And she's like, who wants to do
it? And nobody raised their hand.
And I just was like, and then before I could even answer,
Kim's like, hey, Jesse, you're you're close to him, you should
do it. And I'm like, yeah, OK, no
problem, I'll do it. And then when I went to hear
these young people talking about how confused they are to just
talk to one another, which I can understand because they didn't
learn. A lot of the things that I had
to learn, you had to learn growing up, which was if you
want something, you have to talk to somebody.
Well, because everyone even in this like it sucks, but our kids
generations and when you talk to everyone grew up with a cell
phone, everyone grew up attached to that cell phone.
And so that became the easiest way to talk was texting.
So between that or a keyboard, like unless it's done with your
fingers, they're like, I don't know how to talk to someone.
Yeah, and, and you would think that like paralinguistics and
things like that would, you know, people are like, oh, it's
cool, you just text it. But when the power goes out or
when shit goes crazy. Yeah.
You need to be able to talk to people and a lot of people don't
understand that. And when I was talking to these
kids, I mean there were sixty of them there and they all took
that 12 Shapes quiz. And then after that one I did a
whole like breakout session with them and.
It was crazy. Like I could see from physical
features, like who they were and I knew them from their face.
I'm like, oh, you're this, and this is this and this, and you
do these things right? And they just look like I
snatched their soul out. But why?
It was so crazy because if I was a kid, they wouldn't have
somebody like that talking to them.
Because you have to imagine what the world would be like for all
those people. Because if we you couldn't
communicate in memes or texting, I mean if there's a massive EMP
whatever all electricity went out, well you guys wouldn't be
listening to this because this shit won't work, no.
But like well, you can see us that the if.
We know how to do is communicate in memes or like HRU.
You know you know all. These questions you're like.
And then thousands of years in the future, they're finding
these paintings of like emojis. Yeah, and you're like, what the
fuck? This.
This is how they talk. This is how they talk.
Language that they use. For reals but I'm like how would
they communicate because they they literally, well I just send
memes back and forth to my friends.
Or dude, the the language that is used like it it it is it
always like every generation it gets like way more complex.
They read these things. What the hell is a Skippity Ohio
riz? I don't know.
It must have been this. Really.
You know, for me. I'd be it's an ancient spell.
When I heard Skippity. Oh my God.
You know where I went to because of where I heard that a long
time ago. Not Adam Sandler, Skippity Doo.
He would say stuff like that. And I'm like.
Waterboy, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But no, no waterboy. It was like Billy Melissa.
Yeah. It's.
Scibbity do. Yeah.
And and that's the thing. It's like when my daughter said
that she goes, oh that's Scibbity toilet.
Right. What the fuck is a scibbity?
And I'm like, I know what Scibbity do is and she's like,
like. Right.
She's like, what? What are you talking about, Dad?
What? Are you talking about and she's
and all these other things like drippy and rizz?
Yeah. But bricked up, like for me,
bricked up means like I think that I've got like a massive
turd blocked up and I can't shit Yeah, but it's not right.
It's a hard on. And and my son was like my 15
year old, someone of my twins, he's like, he's like, yeah, that
guy totally thought he was being that girl.
Thought he was bricked up. And I'm like, I couldn't take a
shit. My sucked Dick goes no, yeah,
like just obvious autistic kid. And he goes no.
And I'm like, no. And he goes, no, that's stupid.
If you think it was that, I'm like, OK, well, what is it?
He goes, it's a hard on. And I'm like, OK, cool.
And and what's cool too is that I don't filter my son.
I don't say, hey, watch your mouth.
Like when he gets aggressive with his language, I'm like, OK,
you need to take it down. Oh yeah.
Like he'll be like, I don't know what the fuck you want me to do.
And I'm like, hey, yeah, you will watch your mouth.
Right. Speak with respect, but it's I
don't even know where I was going with that.
That's okay I I'm the same way like and I realized because
growing up my parents were like there's no swearing allowed
unless my dad was mad and really pissed in which case he was
allowed to curse some but nothing past that.
No one else wore and if you did you probably got well.
I did get my ass paddled when I did swear.
Your your your upbringing. Sounds like a comedy show if we
put a comedy spin on it. God.
It could be, it could be hilarious and we put a comedy
spin on it. But you have to be rated R
because this kids always being beat up named Curtis.
It's like, no, it's only on Max. It's only on Max.
It is on Max, right? He's just like everybody hates
Curtis. Right, it's just called the
Elders. The elder elders, elders, the
elders, they're just like, this is going to be about elderly
people. No.
And like you're, you know, this person is the mother.
She's like always, constantly like, you know all.
Of my friends were terrified of my mom growing up everyone.
And I was like, what? Even when I was 21, I was out
knocking doors in Kentucky with my buddy Aaron.
And he knew me since I was four. Maybe we we grew up together and
he, we were going out there and he was like, yeah, always been
afraid of your mom. I was like, what the hell are
you talking about? She's like 100 lbs with her army
boots on and soaking wet like. And he was like, Oh, no, she was
just always seemed so angry and so like control it and like, oh,
I mean, everything had to be done a specific way and, you
know, her way and but that's just.
Sorry about that. You know, I feel like lots of
people had parents that were. Well, I mean, considering who
her mom was, I mean. Narcissistic.
Yeah, she was a spitting image when it came to that.
Like, you know, if you had to do this her way.
And it was, and I only imagine like your mom, like if there was
like some commercial that came on with the bikini on and she'd
step in front of the TV. She would hold up a blanket over
the TV. The movies that they bought
weren't edited by the editing company here locally they my mom
would literally stand up with a blanket and cover the TV during
like a bikini scene or someone you know in their bra and
panties or something. And then after that, get a warm
washcloth, wash out your eyes, get that sight out of you.
And then like they bought this DVD player for downstairs where
the projector was that would edit out swear words.
Out of the movie, so that one. When it would say sex, it would
mute it and put hugs. So it would have a subject.
Yeah. So it would have a subtitle for
that one, like sentence that it bleeped out and it would put a
different sentence in that area. So it'd be like, oh, we just had
the best hugs or, you know, whatever, We're going to get
some really nasty hugs, whatever it was.
And so we just, we started laughing about that because we
knew what it was saying, but we're just like, OK, yeah.
So we'd start making jokes about that.
And it would always, it would do that for like swear words and
that too. Like this is the weirdest shit.
That would be That's a Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Shit, you ever seen that that show?
No. Oh my God I got to show you some
clips but no dude that made me laugh like.
When I was, Oh my God, it's crazy.
I had a weird childhood when there was I was downstairs
playing pool, the girl that I was dating when I was like
probably 18 and my mom sent down Thomas, who's maybe 12 or 13 to
hang out in the basement so that I wasn't alone in the basement
with a girl. And that's what would happen is
my mom would send down another sibling or if we were watching
movies, she'd come down and like, you have to be under
separate blankets. You can't be under the same
blanket. Like they were just very sick
now kind of, you know, household so.
Well, it's so funny because the more, and it's just like any
person, right? The more oppression you put onto
them, eventually they're going to snap and they're going to be
like complete, like the the old standby around here in Utah is
like the Bishop's daughter. She's always all four.
Yeah, she's always like, really all.
Yeah, she's always giving it up. She's down for whatever it's.
The Bishop's daughter. You're like, usually the Bishop
stars like, Yeah. And like, I have a friend.
I've had several friends that became bishops, and one of them,
Eric, he was just. I was like, man, how's it going
being Bishop? He goes, oh, it's good.
He's like, but I got the stereotypical Bishop's daughter,
and I'm like a little rambunctious.
He goes sleeping with every guy she meets.
Rambunctious. Yeah, rambunctious.
And I was like, Oh my gosh. I'm like, I have a niece like
that supposedly, and it scares the shit out of me because
you're a you. Repeat history.
Yeah, that's all I'm worried about.
And I'm like, he's too young to be a grandpa right now.
Like, I know. I mean, I'm sure it's probably
pretty close to around the time my dad was because Curtis was
super young when he had his first SO.
Yeah, and mom was his. The the mom was very young.
Yeah. So it was like, Oh my gosh.
It's it, dude, it's and I don't worry about with my kid, you
know, a lot of that dealing with is I am, I've, I've got a
partner that we work on our marriage together openly and we
work together and as a, as a team.
And we give them a really good example as far as like what a
marriage can be like. Even when we have disagreements,
they can see that and it's it's few and far between because we
know that it's just people and that we're going to act.
I mean, I'm more open about it now.
If I start being a Dick and I'm like, I don't know what's going
on. Something's up in my mind.
I'm going to check my blood sugar because maybe it's my
blood sugar. It could be low.
And I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm, I'm nitpicking.
I'll leave you alone and I go away.
And I would never do that before.
And it's really, I've seen a good interaction because my kids
are more open with me now because of that.
And they're talking more about their personal lives, like, you
know, yeah, my oldest was, you know, having sex with this girl.
And I'm like, yeah, you know what?
He got to 17. I'm pretty proud of him.
Yeah. Because I was younger than that.
Really. Yeah.
And I started fooling around, but I didn't lose my virginity
till I was 18. So I yeah, I was just.
I don't know. Well, I mean, but you know,
that's kind of a tale as old as time, right?
You know, I mean, young love and shit happens and you're feeling
stuff and you're like, this feels real.
Pretty awesome. You want to do this all the
time. We used to do it all the time.
Why aren't we doing this all the?
Time. Yeah.
I don't even know why we eat. Yeah, right.
We should just get protein shakes with the Yeah, you
imagine that. Coffee, protein shakes, we stay
awake all day. Coffee and protein shakes.
That sounds like the perfect mix of just farting, right?
Imagine that you're mid stroke. I don't want.
To and you're all sweaty, your ass cheeks clap from the fart.
But you guys are like this feels so amazing.
I don't want to stop, but that's when you're young.
Teenage you're. Totally.
It's a new excitement of what's this new toy?
But they think really deeply about their relationships that
they have with people now, like my daughter, this kid just kind
of wanted to be her boyfriend and kind of assert himself.
And she's so nice. And she's like, how do I tell
him to go away? And I'm like, you just tell him
like, Hey, I'd like you, you're an awesome guy.
But I'm not, I don't, I don't want to be that way with you.
I'm too young for that. And this is not my thing.
But we can be cool friends. I'm I'm cool with that.
And that kid was really hurt. And I'm like.
Yeah, they will be. He's 12.
So Addie has a friend. And I guess that friend liked
another friend of theirs months and months and months ago.
But then it said, oh, I like someone else now.
And you know, so Addie was like knew that one of these friends
like someone else. So she was like, oh, and now
those two are dating and the other friend that used to like
that one is upset and got upset at daddy.
Like, oh, you hurt me because you connected them and I bought
a necklace for her three months ago and was going to give it to
them on Valentine's Day because I still like them.
Well, you didn't tell me that and now you're.
And so she was like, I'm not going to be friends with you or
talk to you because you hurt me and I don't want to.
And I was like, what? I'm like, honey, she's, she's
12. You know what, though?
The adults do that too. They're just.
Some children are children and
some adults are children. Well, it's not, it's just, it's
just a lack of understanding. Like your daughter's very self
aware of what's going on and she doesn't understand why.
I mean, I guarantee she has those moments, which is like,
why is that chick like that's the dumbest thing ever.
Like I didn't do anything. And it is it's this weird,
stupid thing that people do all the time.
They're like, oh, you associated this with that.
Like, why I laughed was I saw this guy was talking about how
he took this woman on a date and, you know, he was having a
good time and all that stuff. And the woman goes just so you
know, I don't give it up on the first date, OK.
And he's like, I was all pissed off.
I'm like, what? What the hell?
First of all, I was pissed off. I'm like, why are you just
assuming? I'm thinking we hooking up.
Yeah, but while we had it, why don't you give it up on the
first day? And she just goes, well, see, I
got a lot going on in my life right now.
And you know, I, I don't want to like give it up.
And then all of a sudden you don't next day, you don't call
me. You don't want to be around me
no more. So, you know, that's why I don't
give it up on the first date. And he goes, all right, all
right. And then the check came really
fast and the check was $190.00. And he looked at it and he said,
well, I only ate. He looked at what he ate and he
only had cheese sticks and two beers.
And she spent. Wow.
So she's he's like, all right, well, I'll give you 40 that'll
cover more than mine. And tip.
Yeah. And she goes, what the fuck?
He's like, I don't give it up on the first date.
Because, well, you got to understand that I don't pay on
the first date because, you know, I don't want you thinking
about all I do is just pay for things.
And, you know, how am I going to feel?
I'm going to feel really bad if I I pay for all this, Whether
that you'd ever talk to me again, because I got a lot going
on in my life right now. Yeah.
Like, he threw it right back. And it was such a perfect thing.
And that's what people don't realize is they always think
about themselves like, I'm hurt. Yeah.
Because you were associated with this.
And it's like, oh, yeah. And and it my smart ass.
If I was Addie, I would have been like, you know what, You're
right. And I'm pretty sure you're upset
about, you know, that pain you have in your ass because when I
took a shit, it was so big it actually kind of tore my asshole
open. So I apologize about that, too.
They go, what the fuck? And like, yeah, that's how
ridiculous this connection is. Yeah, I was just like.
But adults do that more. Yeah, then that's what I told
her. I was like, honey, some children
are children and adults. Some adults are children because
some people I was like, they don't know how to emotionally,
emotionally regulate and they're frustrated or hurt and they're
taking it on you because, well, it's easier than looking at
themselves and going. I never told anyone.
I never actually went and talked to this person.
And now I'm frustrated because they're with someone else and
now I need to retaliate because otherwise I'm looking at it and
going, hey, you didn't do anything.
And that most times we would much rather blame someone else.
Then we would look at our own ego and go, hey, did you fuck
up? What's your role in this?
What did you actually do? Well, if they don't admit, I
mean, if it's clear as day, that's, I mean, I don't even
consider that childish. I just consider that stupid
because that is illogical. That doesn't make any sense.
And that's not true. But I mean, I could understand
if they were being childish. Like, well, that's not fair and
I'm not playing with you today. Like, OK, that's pretty
childish, but that's just stupidity because I started
thinking about that. Like, how many people do you,
you see like it's a it's like that woman who sued McDonald's
and won millions of dollars because her coffee was hot.
Have you ever read the whole story around that though?
So the the lady was like 708090. She was an old lady and it's
been a long time since I've read it, but basically it was, she'd
gone in originally and she got third degree burns for her first
degree, whatever the worst degree burns were.
But it was all in her crotch and everything else.
And all she was requesting originally was just for her
medical bill covered because it was like way beyond the normal
level of hot, because hot even with coffee won't give you first
degree burns or whatever it was. And so when she got that her
thing, it was like they came back and was like, no, we're not
going to do it or blah, blah, blah.
So that's when it came back with the other case of like, hey, she
actually tried. But it came back as, oh, this
lady bitch. Cause for the longest years and
years and years, I was always like, yeah, some lady bitched
about her coffee being too hot. And then when I heard that or
read more of it, I was like, I'd never heard that.
Because, you know, like most of them, I was the person always
who would read the headline and go, man, that's fucked up.
But never spend the time to, you know, read down it or
investigate it or look more into it.
But then this, like this article or something you haven't
crossed. And then I actually read it
because later in life now I found that headlines don't mean
anything. And I've learned a lot of stuff
and headlines is actually incorrect for most of the data
that's actually in the stuff. And so I, I like to look more
into them. You have to check and see, but I
swear that's what it was was it was like a way more in depth
thing than just. Oh, I I guarantee that.
But. And it kind of surprised me
because I was like, oh. So lay back versus McDonald's in
94 said the award they awarded her 2.86 million.
So that is reasonable for a lawsuit.
Nowadays it's hundreds of millions of dollars for like,
you know, my daughter was told no for something.
And but then again, dude, that's that's the thing that it's taken
out of context exactly what you're saying.
You hear this, don't realize the context behind it.
But then the other thing is all these other subsequent lawsuits
after that one because it tells people that you can win money.
So it's exactly that. Well, it's because it's because
everyone's too happy, because everyone and I think about this.
Everybody's very. Everyone wants to make quick
money, whether it's the lottery, whether it's, you know, like
whatever it is, everyone wants money fast, easy.
Now, Hey, could I get something that I didn't work for?
Because we all have dreams and aspirations.
And it's like, you know, even my girlfriend's dad, I feel like
he's a pretty level headed, logical person most of the time.
He, he works really hard. He's set aside good retirement
stuff like that. And he was still getting caught
up in the idea of like, Oh, we, we bought lottery tickets and
you know, we, we were thinking, oh, if we win, we can buy this
and this and this and this. And it's like, how many people
dream like that? Like I, I think it's pretty
human, but it's that that want that excitement that, that for
that we're always trying to do that, that it's, you know, the
sue of like, Oh well, and some people are extremely desperate
or selfish or don't care about anything else that it's like,
well, could I lie about something and get money?
Could I just do this and get money because like, oh, what
could I do? And, and McDonald's doesn't need
it. They're a billion dollar
corporation. Like they'll be, they'll be just
fine or, you know, whatever it is and going well, but how much
money do I have? And look how big they are.
They've got more money. They're totally fine.
They can afford this and not realizing well, but yes,
McDonald's probably has enough money for that.
But how many other companies, how many other companies have,
like Armand paw shops or startups?
And it's like, well, they're taking care of 30 families and
this multi $1,000,000 lawsuit now took away part of their
capability to help support those thirty families.
So then this one person, I imagine, you know, my mind right
now, pictures Bennett when he had all those families and he
was stressing about like, oh shit, what happens if I have to
let all these people go? What happens if I can't take
like where they're comfortable and I was responsible taking
care of them. Now I can't and they have to try
and figure something else out. Like, what does that do to it?
And like, you know, versus the selfishness of like, well, I
need or deserve this because, well, they've got more money
than me and I need money. Well, that's what happens, man.
I mean, you look at the story of Ray Kroc.
Like at first it was this really cool idea and he thought it'd be
great to give it to the US and the world.
And, and what ended up happening, he fucked over the
McDonald brothers, gave him a small check that they never
cashed. It was like a million or so, but
the company is worth million because he turned it into a real
estate empire and that's how he was able to take it away from.
Oh damn. He took it right underneath him
and these guys didn't want that. What they wanted to do was keep
and maintain the integrity of it.
And he's like, well, you can't mass scale.
Yeah, you can't do this and that at the same time.
And the way it worked, like he, you know, he would tell people
like, you're going to do it my way.
And he was smart about it. He was very smart about it.
That however, because of greed, like even his first wife, his
first wife left him and he made sure that she couldn't get
anything. No, you were married to me
before McDonald's, so you're you're not entitled to any
totally fucked her. I think he left her a house,
gave her the house that she was living in and that's it.
And then he ended up he was nicest one woman that he met
that the bot franchises her and her husband and she left her
husband for him. Of course.
Yeah. And it just went on and on and
on like that. Like it just you realize that
the heart of every giant company comes a real greedy, sadistic
sick fucker. You know Mark Zuckerberg is not
the sweetest weird dude. Like he's not.
Neither is Bill Gates, neither was Steve Jobs, neither is Elon
Musk. Like they all make they all cut
parts of humanity out. Not they don't give up things.
They cut parts of humanity out of them in order to survive that
because they are obsessed with innovation at first, and then it
becomes money. And now I trust Elon a lot more
because he doesn't care about any of his money.
And so it's like, OK, well, he's truly showing it.
But when he was younger, it's all about money.
How many wives is he? He's got like 15 kids.
Yeah, I always. My favorite thing about it was
the mention of when they brought the Tesla Roadster on Top Gear,
Tesla's very first car that they put out and they drove it and
they shit all over it because, well, it was a piece of shit.
And Elon was a little baby came out and was like, Oh no, you'll
never have my cars again. Don't talk and like try to
threaten them with a lawsuit. And they basically gave him the
middle finger. And it was funny because he's
like, oh, you're never going to talk about my.
They're like, we don't want to test an electric car.
Yeah. I, I remember that because like
even at that time, like when he sold PayPal, the first thing he
bought, he had it shipped to his home, like I think it was in New
York, was a McLaren. Probably.
And he was so excited and it was like A1 seater McLaren, you
remember those? No, that's.
Weird. Yeah, it's really crazy.
But. That, I mean, you think about it
though, if you have that much money, if you sell a tech
company, how many kids growing up wanted all of these nice
cars? I had Hot Wheels grandma and
grandpa bought me, like the model cars and stuff.
I had Ferraris. I had classic cars.
I loved those. I loved cars since I was little.
And if I had sold a company and made insane amounts of money as
a young egotistical, like fuck, 100%, I would have gone, man, I
want a Lambo. I want a Ferrari.
I want this thing. Yeah, let's get that here
because it would have just been like, this is my dream that I've
always wanted, and I never really put a lot of thought into
it. Now I have no desire to own one
of those. It seems like a waste of money,
a waste of space. I don't really have a place in
that to drive it to effectively use that.
It seems like a waste. Yeah, but I'd be at the same
time, but I. Could rent one and it would be
fun as hell to go to a track and drive one day.
But you know, that's, that's me now.
And I've looked at it and like, well, I feel like I've also
grown a lot as a person in the last 20 years and.
I, I think you can get something like that and then, you know,
when you go without, it's good. But it, it's the one thing, it's
also like a, it's a cautionary tale because it's like, Hey,
remember that this cycle can happen again.
So don't overdo it. And if you, you're starting to
succeed because it takes time, right?
That's what I love about all of these SAS companies failing
right now. I know if you are employee one,
I'm sorry. It has nothing to do with you.
It has everything to do with how the business was structured.
And the more these companies are going under, that's good because
it's showing that people don't spend frivolously when you take
it away. So it's like, OK, what do I
truly want? Like I, I am like I, oh, man, I
probably go out to eat four times a year on my own to buy
it. Yeah, maybe.
And it's small. Not because I don't enjoy it,
it's because it's wasteful. I don't it.
Is when you pay when you pay 10 to $30 per person for a normal
meal versus being able to make a meal for a family for.
Which is a is a dying art too. A lot of people, even though
there's all these fucking cooking shows now, everybody.
'S like us, yeah. No one cooks.
It's interesting. I'm like, I don't know or even
like the cooking they do. You know, I look in them like
Alec is cooking at home sometimes and stuff.
But it's most of it I feel like is like, hey, this comes from
the freezer. It's like not a lot of really.
Tons of preservatives and shit. Like, oh, here's some chicken
Nuggets, here's some this, here's some chicken patties.
We'll make sandwiches with like not a lot of cooking cooking,
but a lot of just like here, let's heat up this thing that's
you know, and I'm like, that's fine.
My sister cooks. She does quite a bit of cooking
but also she does I think a lot of pre done stuff from Costco or
other places that's just already made because she is a nurse and
does other jobs on the side too. Like she just has too much time
on her hands. She's.
Got a She's got a lot of your dad in her.
Yeah. Alec does too.
We talked about that yesterday when I was helping my dad
because he was like, oh, yeah, my, I have a gay cousin.
He married, he's married now. And he, my dad was saying, oh,
he was talking to him and asking about his childhood.
And that was saying that his dad was always nice but always
working. And his mom was very
controlling. And, you know, this, this, this
and had to be a certain way and, and all this stuff.
And I was like, okay. And he's like, yeah, now his
daddy's realizing and regretting that and trying to build a
relationship. But his kids are 3540, you know,
and. That's a hairy Chapman song
right there. Yeah, so trying to figure shit
out at that point, but just, you know, I'm like, well, that's
because you and your brother grew up in the same home and
both of you guys had trauma cause, well, your dad.
And what do elders do? Well, when we're stressed, we
work. When we're bored, we work.
When we're, you know, angry, we work.
When we have this, we work. So what do we do?
We work. So that's why Bob has the most
like he owns, he created the largest engineering firm here in
Utah. He designs every temple one.
He's designing all the electric cities like he's an incredible
man, really fucking smart. But that's what we do is we
work. And I look at Jackie, I look at
Alec. It's like the things that it's
like, oh, we've got time, what are we doing?
Oh, well, I'm going to go work on something.
I'm going to go do this. I'm going to go do this because
that's what we do. No, and I mean, you know, in in
a, in like a community that's awesome.
Like, you know, if shit went to that's why I love about Utah.
I mean, you can say what you want about the people, but you
know, in crazy times, they know how to gather together and get
shit done pretty quickly. But at the same time, it's you
want people like that in your society that are hard workers
and want to do that. But they also need to be taught
that, hey, you need to learn how to deal with your emotions.
You can. You don't have to stop working,
but you also need to address what you're doing instead of
just being angry all the time. Oh, yeah.
And it's just a lot of times what I've learned is that these
people feel misunderstood. Well I'm surprised, See it's
more over time. He's definitely not as angry
now. No, they slow down and get
amnesia when they get older. Yeah, definitely.
There's moments of things that I'm like talking to my dad and
like this was really hard and he's like, oh, I don't, I don't
remember that. I'm like, yeah, he's like, that
didn't happen. I'm like, dad, I will text all
of our siblings right now. Every single one will confirm
this. I said 100%, I'm sorry you don't
remember it. Or maybe I'm.
I'm happy for you that you don't.
But like, it still happened, you know?
And it's just, I mean, at the same time as we get older, maybe
we don't remember every single memory, you know, and there's
things that we don't remember and someone else is like, oh, do
you remember this? Oh shit, I forgot you know, and
I I don't know I've never been 60 yet so I have no idea or it's
bullshit. Have his brain damage that he
has. No, there's no brain damage.
It's just it's perception, right?
Oh no, his has like half his brain, has no electrical current
through it. He's had brain scans and that
yeah, he has like half a working brain.
What happened? Brain damage from accidents,
from all the stuff from probably abuse of his dad and that like,
yeah, so. That explains a lot.
They've said that he has, like all sorts of.
TBI and all that other fun stuff.
That's what's crazy to me was like he's had this brain damage
for years and then the entire home he just built he did that
with. I mean, it's not going to take.
His like faculties from him, but he's definitely like stunted in
other areas because he's not able to pick up on certain
things. Or maybe long term memory could
be an issue just not being able to see it yet.
I have no idea. And because he's repeated
construction things so many times over and over and over,
his body and his brain just know what to do when they see these
things. So it's.
I'm really impressed cause a lot of it like his calculations and
stuff, he's really good and he does it in his head still and
like so there's a lot of things that I'm.
Just he has that gift. I'm like, OK, this is like he
seems all there in some aspects, but then other things I'm like,
you know, maybe you know, but. Well, yeah, my, my dad turned 72
this year. And you know, my brother and I,
we had lunch for my birthday and, and my dad came with us and
he's like, yeah, my, I have to tell my daughters.
Like that sweet old man over there was not so sweet when he
was younger. And he's, he thinks he fucking
forgot all of that shit, but I didn't.
And I was like, oh, yeah. And he goes, do you remember
that time when dad was on top of you fucking punching you?
And dude, it came to me. I totally repressed it, but I
relived it. I remember why.
And my brother jumped on him and socked him in the side of the
head. And it took my dad's attention.
Wayne, what are you doing? Got mad.
Like, don't you touch him? And my brother always was like,
why didn't you beat him up? Because you knew how to from way
younger. And I was like, I just couldn't.
Not until it was like 18 when we finally went to blows and it
didn't go very well for him. Then after that, it was like
when we're done and no more arguments, but it it was this
perception that I had to have that my father is right because
he's an adult and because I'm only getting this because I
deserved it because I didn't listen or I did something like
when I was a kid throwing rocks across street.
Yeah, it was dumb thing to do, but we're kids.
Like I was literally 7 and we're throwing rocks across the street
to each other's yard. It's not a busy Rd. over by
Timpanogos Elementary. You know that road that goes
alongside it and if you go down it you can go to the park?
No idea. We go around, you would know
where it's at. But anyways, I throw this rock
because we're trying to get the biggest rock onto each other's
lawn. This kid named Koramelot
Malachi, and he threw one, I threw one.
I got a bigger one to try to throw it over.
It doesn't even make it halfway across the road.
Skips on the ground. Just as this old VW bugs going
by and it pops up, hits his muffler, muffler comes to tach,
slides on the ground and Corey runs into his house.
And I ran to the backyard and hit between the shed and this
chain link fence and I was like sandwich stand.
I'm like, nobody hear me. Then I start hearing my dad yell
my three, my my full name. And then he starts yelling and
swearing in Spanish. And I'm like, oh shit, I'm about
I'm about moving. I'm about moving.
Then all the sudden what? Grabbed me by my hair, pulled me
out, brought me to the man. He says, did you do this?
And the guy's holding his muffler and the guy's and I, and
I said yes. And he just, my dad threw me to
the ground. And the guy's just like, you
know what, let it go. I'll tell you I can fix this.
But whatever's coming to you, I wouldn't want to be you.
And that was what was said. And I got my ass beeped, but it
wasn't that. I learned a lesson of don't
throw rocks across the road. What I learned is get out of
there as fast as you can. Don't get caught and don't tell
your parents. So I was taught at a young age
not to tell them anything. Yeah, because you didn't.
I, I talked with his to my dad yesterday and I was like, it's,
you know, a lot of people or kids don't come and talk to
their parents because they don't feel safe because their parents
are not a safe spot. We think we are, but it's the
reactions, the things they say. Oh, well, we reacted and got
pissed off. Well, we grounded them for that.
Well, they were just trying to be honest and go, this is the
experience I'm experiencing as a child.
This is what happened. You're supposed to be my safe
spot. Well, when you're safe spot that
loves you and the love they give is violence and abuse.
And that well what is love to you?
Violence and abuse. Yeah.
And it's not falling in line. Well, I'm gonna get hit 'cause
that's what love is. And it's.
That doesn't teach or pass down. And I was talking right down.
I'm like, it just creates generational trauma and then you
have a trauma that's passed down and if you're not addressing it,
then you're passing it down. Yeah, but it's almost
unavoidable. You're gonna get this is no
one's gonna get out unscathed. But I was like, most people
probably have that, but how many people don't actually try and
work on that or even know that they have that as well?
Well, and it's hard to I mean, especially, you know, the one
term I really can't stand now more never is narcissism because
a lot of people say, well, they're just being narcissist or
you mean selfish right now. If they were narcissist they
would have a wake of destruction behind.
Every human has a narcissistic trait or traits of some sort or
like tendencies. Maybe that it's like that was a
little narcissistic, but it's not.
They as a person are a narcissist.
Yeah, but it's all it's, it's even then, though, now that that
term's been thrown around, I'd rather just call it the simple
fashion. You're being a selfish fuck.
Can you stop? But it, it's, it, it just people
have learned to put it off like debt or anything else.
I'll just throw it away. And it doesn't come out until
much later. And that's, I think there's a
lot of suicide because of no one teaching others that you can
talk about these things. I think we're seeing a lot of
marriage break up because you're not supposed to work on it.
It's either works or it doesn't. And.
I think marriage is a weird thing because so many people go
into it with either like this is the person I want you to become
or I never want you to change and both of those never happen.
Someone changes. You know one way or the other.
Someone changes or both of you. Well, you grow.
You mean you don't stop growing just because you become an
adult? Yeah, so it's like, so there's
it's been months, but Emily Wood had sent me Tik Toks forever ago
and there's this couple on there and I really liked what they did
because they're like, you know, we're in a relationship and
we've been here for years and we love each other.
We're married, we're whatever. But we don't just expect that
things will change either. We just are here together, said
we actually sit down together every three months, six months,
whatever it is. And they go over their
relationship goals. They have things that they
actually expect or want to look for in a relationship, if it's
fitting it, if there's things that changed and they just check
in and go, hey, where are you as a partner?
What what things are you looking like?
Is there things that changed? And I'm like re evaluating, are
we good in our relationship? Are we needing to work on
something like do we feel like we want to be together?
And it's like we don't have to stick together because they
understand people can change and things like that.
Instead of holding this accountability over their
relationship, they're holding this like, hey, we're just
checking in, readapting, going. Is this still good?
Are you good? I'm good like and checking in
and going, but I don't think a lot of relationships do that.
It goes through this thing and then something happens at some
point resentment builds and then things change and then it builds
a wedge and then things break, but they're not usually in a
healthy good break. It's like animosity and pain and
hurt and, and anger and all this stuff and like, and like
vengeance and like malicious stuff comes in at that point
versus like, hey, I noticed, I love who you are.
I love that you're changing and growing, but I'm changing and
growing this way. And I noticed that we might be
coming slightly different people, you know, and, and
sometimes maybe that that's not every relationship, but.
No, not at all. But that.
You know, maybe there's a healthy way to to navigate that
versus, you know, we get in a relationship and it's like,
well, we're just here now because we are.
So we're just going to be here forever without ever looking at
a relationship and going, hey, is there something more you need
or something different or like, is there, you know, we've just
been doing the same routines and habits because we've been in
this for 10 years, five years, three years, you know, six
months, whatever it is that you're not actually checking in
with all these normal things that maybe we we would, could,
should do to, and that might help navigate better
relationships or marriages or, you know, and less divorce or
healthier divorces. Well, and it's something to be
said about it because a lot of the issues too that I see
currently, not necessarily it's always been, but the hookup
culture has gotten even crazier now where you got apps and and
now they've monetized sex to the highest degree beyond porn.
Now where porn was just a select few of people who fucked around
in LA and maybe a couple other places.
Now it's like your bedroom and you get a dildo and a bunch of
Lube and ching, ching, ching, ching, ching, ching, Ching.
And you're just like, OK, I do things because you pay me money,
Like, and they try to justify going, well, it's safer and
like, yeah, but you don't realize what you're doing to
yourself. It's, you know, I, I haven't, I
don't shame anybody if, if they sleep around a lot.
But if you sleep around purely for the fact, like did you hear
about this woman in Australia? Probably not.
Where her goal was to sleep with 118 year olds in a short period
of time. Honestly, I think and I.
Think she did a gangbang or something like that.
Gross. I think in any aspect I'm not a
fan of the gangbang, but that's just my personal perspective.
Don't, don't yuck. Someone jumps but for me that's
not my Yup but. That's the thing, like you,
you're seeing that and then they're pissed off because
they're like well I'm not getting my 6 to $200,000 a year
driving a really cool car and pays for all my shit guy, which
counts for 0.0002% of the population.
So it's very unlikely. I think it's just because
everyone now has this platform where we can.
We've had this platform for a while.
No, no, no, I mean TikTok, Instagram, everything is a video
now that it's like so visible. So this like, oh, this is this
that we're all so vocal in public with all of our, our
bitching, our moaning or this and that, that that those types
of people can go, Oh, I'm not happy that this isn't what I'm
getting. That's fine, because you want
this and maybe that doesn't want you and that's okay.
You can sit and bitch and moan and complain all you want, but
at the end of the day that doesn't actually attract those
types of people to you. All it does is show people who
you are and then they go, what about that is attractive?
Why would I want to to be with you?
Yeah, exactly. You know, but that's the same
with anything. It's like you get these people
and they're like, oh girls this girls this dude, you're coming
off as an arrogant asshole. Fuck.
Of course a girl's not going to want to be with you.
It's the same as the women doing the other.
There's both sides and people look at it and go, you're a
garbage human. I don't think it matters.
No one wants to be with you. No.
And it's, it's really difficult. I mean, just from the outside
looking in, like, has my marriage been perfect?
No marriage has ever been perfect.
But The thing is, is that we've had disagreements and I don't
look at perfection because I'm completely content.
I have no desire to go with anybody else because not because
I'm bored. Or we have, do we have a lot of
hardships? We've had a lot of hardships and
it's still never broke us. But for us, we broke the cycle
because we saw her dysfunctional parents, my dysfunctional
parents saying, I really don't want to repeat that.
That's why I waited so long to get married and because I'd met
a lot of women that I wanted to marry.
And, and it's not like, you know, I want to give it up to
the government institution over there.
It's a sign that I want to be with them because a lot of times
when I see people who've been together for a while and they're
like, yeah, we're going to be together.
And then they just separate and they've been together for like
10-15 years. That's like a marriage.
It's exactly a marriage. And they're like, well, and then
the law is like, yeah, you got to split everything other than,
you know, And then they have kids together.
And then all of a sudden they act all confused like whoa, who
gets them? But at that point, you should
know because if you live in any state, like, I don't know the
amount of people, I'm sure they exist, but I don't know how many
people truly have never heard of common law marriage in any
state. Oh yeah.
So at that point, you know, it doesn't matter.
At some point if I live with this person, there is a date, an
expiration date of hey now you are legally married according.
To that, yeah, I know, right? If you don't pick up a book,
stop looking at YouTube. Maybe figure something that's
out aside from video game, movie, TV show something.
Like, well, you know, and there's nothing to be something,
nothing bad about that. But at the same.
Time never learning I would think I.
Didn't say that. I didn't say that.
You took it out of context. I'm saying like it's not bad to
be able to go and look at entertainment and all these
things. But I said to never.
Comes into the obsessive compulsive and dude, the
lockdown had a ton to do with that.
Oh yeah, I mean, that's all you did COVID.
Fucked everyone. Yeah, it totally did.
Like psychologically it really messed with a lot of people.
But going back to what I was, I was going to originally say was,
is that when you have both sides that are 1 extreme or the
another, right? You got insoles, right where
they're just like, yeah, I'm just going to admit I'm this
person, right? And they're buying plastic fuck
dolls and they are the biggest subscribers to only fans.
And then you got a bunch of women who are doing almost the
exact same thing going well, we're swearing off men.
We're not doing any of that. I don't need men to be alive.
And it's just like, Oh my gosh, you guys are ridiculous.
And then you get some like argument go do you know that the
infrastructure is made out of men?
So what what they're saying is, is psych socially, socially, I
don't need men to survive. Yeah.
So I but why is there this big divide?
It's haves and haves. Everywhere.
It's always so bad. It's the divide.
We talk about it all the time. It's in everything.
It's the US and the them. You know, it's in genders, it's
in religions, it's in races, it's in, you know, economical
classes. It's in like all of these
things, even schools. Like it's, it's in everywhere.
It's like, oh, you're not this. We're this.
And it's like tribalism. Well, it's, it's, it's a polar,
it's polar differences. You, you, one cannot exist
without the other. It, it feels like that, like the
entire planet can't be at peace, but it can also be at war.
Why? Do you think we're so always,
maybe not every person, but like as a whole more humans?
Why do you think we're more drawn to finding the differences
than the similarities? Because it's unique, because
it's if everything looks the same, then you don't think of
it. But when it's unique, at first
it's exciting. As a child, everything's
exciting. Yeah, but as we get older
though, like we still. Have the same thought.
When we're with people and that a lot of like all this, us and
them is not finding the similarities, it's the
differences. Like, no, it's finding the
differences, but it's in a different way because you learn
that from older people who say don't do this.
They preemptively trigger you to be able to understand that their
view is the view that you need to see.
Yeah, not necessarily the right way, but their view is the best
view that you can get. Wouldn't that be the same?
For an example, I was just listening to a book, behavioral
science book, but one of them was it was talking about if you
introduce somebody saying, oh, I want you to be Brandon, by the
way, Brandon's a little handsy and he farts a lot, just letting
you know. So the whole time that person's
going to be there. And if there's a woman, they'd
be getting away from you the whole time and then wondering
when you're going to drop a fart, right?
I mean, that's like a really dumb thing.
But if I said, hey, he's a real sleazeball and he fucks
everything with a heartbeat. Harpy optional.
Hey, Brandon, meet Cindy. And she's like, cool, this guy
is a pig. All he wants to do is fuck me.
And she's just angry. And that's an assumptive role
that we all play. When I used to go to the bars
with friends, all the girls were just guards up.
Guys were like, I want to fuck you.
Girls are like, you're not fucking me at all.
And you're just like, what are we doing here?
Yeah, why Why did we even show up?
Like we're trying to meet each other, yet there's walls up.
And it's because we we preframe everything.
We preframe it instead of looking at it in an open way
going, well, they look like a nice person.
It's because there's always an intention behind it.
It's never just I'm curious who this person is.
I want to get to know this person.
It's like, yeah, I want to stick my Dick in that.
Oh, I, I want. I want.
This out of their, this, their skin colors, this oh, they came
out of that church. They're going to be like this.
I want this out of it for me, but I want to make a connection
because they might be an interesting person and I might
learn something new today that I didn't know.
I I, well, and that's interesting.
I mean, for me, I'm just like, I know somebody else and that
that's great because I love making connections with people
because it's, it's great. It's good.
I mean, it feels good to be go somewhere and somebody just
knows you right away and they they want to talk to you because
they find you interesting. Like that's it.
That's cool for me. And that's the way I look at
life now. I don't look for differences.
I've been colorblind for many years.
I don't care. And, and the funniest thing is
the people who get really upset with me about that are the
people who are upset that people aren't respectful about their
religion, their color, the people the.
Ones who get frustrated and that's not the word.
The people who get offended because most people who get
offended is like, oh, you said did whatever.
I'm going to choose to let that. I'm going to get it.
Like I'm going to choose my emotion to be changed because of
whatever your action. Was yeah, there's something to
be said about the the art of forgiveness, because it really
is an art. Because you can say you forgive
them, but you got to let it go. And if you let it go.
Harder said then done. It can be.
It really can be, but you know, in extremes it's really.
Hard in minors, true forgiveness, like all the easy
stuff. It's easy because it's like,
fuck it. It's like, no, it just rolls off
your back and you're like, that's totally fine.
It's not the end of the world. I hold no animosity towards any
person, even if they've wronged me because like I've, I've had
business partners screw me and unintentionally, but still did
it. And I and I would never be like,
oh, you know, I will never talk to them again.
Like I've done that kind of petty shit when I was younger,
like my friend who he was just a magnet for cops.
And I got my two possession, my two only possession and
consumption charges because I was with that fuck head.
Wow. And I didn't even drink
anything. But because I was near him.
That's crazy. I got a possession and a
consumption charge and I was like, great, this is fucking
great. Yeah.
And I was like, I'm not talking to a motherfucker for and I, I
didn't talk to him for years. Yeah.
And that was stupid of me because it was just an incident.
Well, sometimes, I mean, there was a friend that I cut out for
a couple years and that was because he didn't respect me.
He didn't listen. He actually walked all over me.
And that was something that I was like, you know, I'm sorry,
I've tried to talk to you and you can't do this.
And I'm done. And sometimes I think that it is
OK and healthy to set those boundaries or walk away, whether
it's from a friend, a partner, a parent, a sibling, whoever the
fuck it is. Yeah.
Because honestly, yeah, there's a difference between being a
selfish fuck and prioritizing yourself going.
This isn't healthy for me. Yeah, and it's a good thing I
found that book, because now Brandon talks to me again.
Yeah, exactly. No, I, I, I, I agree with you,
man. And it's a societal thing that I
think about right now where, you know, my role as a person to be
a good member of society is to just be generally good to people
across the board, no matter who they are.
And if you start doing that and you can trigger that in other
people and then everybody else starts following.
I'm not saying I'm going to start this happy trend of
everybody's like, you know, paying it forward or anything
like that. But it's just what does it cost
to be nice? That's even the stupid small
stuff. Like I have neighbors across the
street who are, I'd say it's like a disabled home of sorts.
Like they're I don't know the correct term or something.
Yeah, no, it's yeah, yeah, I know.
It's like a halfway. They call them halfway homes.
But they're, there's a bunch of adults who live in there and
they're they. Special needs and stuff like
that, but. They, they're ones that like
Emily at the first was like, Oh my goodness, they seem so weird.
So like, and she was all weirded out and that, and then I've just
started saying hi to him, waving to him.
And so now every morning after I drop off, Addie and I hop out of
my car and they're sitting out on the sidewalk smoking
cigarettes, I say hi. They always wave back and say hi
every time they come out. Like they wave and say hi.
And I'm like, it's just these simple stupid things like how
many people don't even say hi to their neighbors.
You know, I'm blessed because I I worked at the state hospital
for as long as I did. I don't see crazy people.
I see someone who's suffering from schizophrenia or someone
who's manic depressant. Or I was like, it's just another
human who, yeah, functions different than I do.
Yeah, nobody treats me. I mean, you know, the way that
we treat people when they have a cold.
That's understandable because you're going to get.
You can get sick too. But if somebody's talking to
themselves, you're not going to get it.
Yeah, it's not contagious. You're not going to go.
Oh shit. Like I told you about my friend,
you're. Like a homeless person.
You're not going to get homeless by talking to a homeless person,
no. And it, it sucks because, you
know, a homeless person makes you feel it, It's reflective.
That's why we don't want to look at them, because we, we don't
ever want to see ourselves that way.
And so we, we avoid them because of that.
And it's not that we don't want to help them, it's just what can
you do to help them? Like truly if we could do to
help them would be like just have this random business that
just provides jobs. And they get jobs and a place to
stay as they get their back on their feet till they can go out
and get another job or. How many, how many rich fucks
out there could take a giant a tiny chunk of their company and
create those things around to? Because what does that do?
You're building new consumers. If you build new consumers,
they're going to buy your new shit because they make enough
money to buy your useless shit. So why not invest into the no,
I'm going to build a massive fucking yacht that when I get it
taken out of the place that was built, they're going to have to
remove a bridge. Yeah, just to move it.
To get it out and I can't even dock at regular places and I
have a mini yacht that follows. Just to get there or for your
whole crew. It's, it's ridiculous.
It's, it's this notion that I need all of this and there's
more than enough to go around. And I mean, I want to get on my,
you know, hippie sandbox about that, but I mean hippie milk.
Yeah, you're good. Yeah, Crepe.
Milk crepe. Yeah, I'm.
Going to get off my crepe, but it's, it's just looking at it
like, what's the simple things? What does it cost for me to be
nice? Yeah, nothing.
And and if if I do that, like, you know, simple things like
gestures and mannerisms, like stuff I teach, that's what I
love about that, where I'm talking to those kids like I
told you, and they are just like, how do I do that?
And to me, I used to think that's stupid, but I'm just
like, no, you don't understand. I totally.
And it's a new language for them, which comes so easily to a
lot of other people. Or at least I think that like
Gen. Xers, millennials, they're
they're pretty decent because they they've already lived a
bunch of shit and now they're just like, yeah, I mean, I'm
stereotypical 45 year old, 46 year old guy.
Now I'm terrible. It's typical 46 now.
I have no idea what other 37 year olds are like.
Yeah, I'm just like them. But I, I'm saying like, you
know, things I get into, things I talk about, things I complain
about and I used to complain about and I the only thing is I
look at politics, I'm like, oh, that's interesting.
I wonder where they, they found that or oh, OK, why are they
trying to pass that bill? I.
Have no idea. Oh.
OK and I Start learning about it, but when I was younger I
could care less. I could careless.
But anyways, hey guys, it's been a fun conversation.
