0:00 I've been very excited about,

0:05 Basically somebody who's been in power for decades. Getting there up there. You know, just. Yeah, being be thrown by the people that, they helped put in power to begin with. I mean, all the oligarchs. Yeah. All the all the oligarchs are getting tipped off.

0:27 I wonder, do you think you think of all of them? Get together. They have enough collective power to. To boot. Boot? I don't know. That's the question. Or is he entrenched himself? Well, she. The rumor is, I don't know that, at least the rumor that's out on the public political stage that I have access to, that they're looking at installing someone else.

0:52 And the incendiary part of this is that it's the Ukraine Intel chief. Oh my goodness. So, yeah, maybe not true. That's right. That'd be ironic, right? Right.

1:08 But yeah. So I don't know. I, I do think it's about time for somebody who ran the intelligence agencies for decades and has been president for 22 years to, give up some power. Yeah, I've been doing my own thing, so I don't really know. I'm not really up on it. I mean, what's the latest? How's the war going?

1:28 Is it going badly for the Russians? It is. They have a can't remember the name of the drones right now, but they've just been given about a thousand, of these little 24 inch sized drones that are basically kamikaze drones. Okay, sure. And, they're anti-tank. They've been doing everything from grandma's making Molotov cocktails to. And they even issued a state recipe for a molotov cocktail.

2:04 Oh my goodness. And they're they're using social media to the hilt. Like, everybody has pulled out of, Russia as far as selling things to the, the economy is going to hell. They there's rumors that they had been asking China for basic rations. Wow. And, there's also they've been shut out of Swift, which are. It's basically a bat.

2:37 I know, I know that one. Yeah. And they've been shot at a swift so that that's a no moving money around. No moving money. They've been Apple sup selling their Microsoft stop selling their, Nike, all sorts of companies. BP pulled out of a $14 billion investment in, they've been sanctioned as far as exports, they're not allowed to, the pipeline has been shut down.

3:10 Their Russian oil pipeline. Wow. They went through Germany, I believe. You know, they're they're feeling the economic squeeze. Well, let's hope they don't feel like they're back. So against the wall that they do something stupid. Yes, exactly. But they've been. Russian stocks have been delisted from all the major changes. Us in London. The they are. Last Wednesday, they were about to default on $14 billion of the loans.

3:42 That's crazy. So, like, imagine if the world did that to us when we went into Iraq. Right. And arguably, should they have this. Interesting prospect, isn't it? I know that maybe we would be less, more warmongering assholes. This becomes the new normal. Like the UN basically has the power to do this to any nation that decide they want to unilaterally, you know, attack some other nation.

4:09 Yeah, they want to lease the world, so to speak. That's crazy man. So yeah, I mean, I don't I just can't imagine that happening to us. Like, there's no way we would stand for it. But who knows? Russia? Who knows what the future holds? Russia doesn't have a choice. Would we have a choice? Why? Don't know. Like, isn't that why we.

4:31 We run all that stuff? That's true, that's true. That's why we run Swift. Isn't that right? So why we run the International Monetary Fund? Pretty good strategic advantage there, right? Yeah. So we'll go to war with whoever we want and open up new economies, you know? Yeah, that's really it. Right? That was the whole idea. I mean, you explain that to me at length.

4:53 I did not understand that that we were going there basically open up the economy to Western you. But yeah, now, you know, and Iraq, all of our products and services sell there now. So fucking crazy. Oh, speaking of that, McDonald's even pulled out of Russia. Okay. I mean, I feel like McDonald's is like, the harbinger of all things Western to come, right?

5:22 Right. Goals arrives. It's all coming, right?

5:28 That's probably a pretty big expenditure to like, you know, for a fast food global fast food chain to pull out of a major crunch. Crunch. It has to be. It has to be. And then, Burger King, they officially closed out. But the franchisee that owns them all, he said, fuck you, I'm not closing.

5:47 All right. But.

5:50 That sounds very American and Russian, right? Yeah.

5:57 So it's it's interesting, like, maybe this, this brave new world of the future where, you know, any kind of aggression or, you know, then been, you know, a slippery slope type argument. Where does that end up going? You know, how how far down the rabbit hole does that go? So, like, not just aggression, but you know, we don't like a trade policy.

6:15 So we say, you know, sanctions, you know, or whatever. Yeah. You know, and if you go by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, you could start saying, you know, create a scorecard for basically every nation. And whatever nation doesn't, you know, reach a certain score, gets proportional sanctions. Oh, you know, type thing. You can imagine, like the system where, you know, kind of like nations are made to be obedient through this really fine tune.

6:46 Right. Array of sanctioning. Yeah. Like, look, apparently it's pretty powerful. Yeah. The committee got together. Agreed. You don't meet these. You're sanctioned. And this myriad of ways your economy shut down. Imagine if Microsoft have, like, a back door and they, like, shut down every computer running windows. Oh, shit. Pissed off? I'd like to say they didn't, but no.

7:16 So long as they have a way to shut down the the internet so that like, nobody can get a Linux distro either. Right, right. Right, right. Like, there is no operating system anymore. All your computers are dead. It's like we've effectively brick everything. Could you imagine? Like a whole nation that's, like, modernized, like can't get on, can't get on YouTube or TikTok or anything.

7:39 Oh, oh, that's a young people to be going nuts. So Facebook and Instagram pulled out to what? They just shut off the services. Can't you just get it though like via and I imagine. Yeah, I would imagine. But then what you know, what Russia did in retaliation said, well, we banned Twitter.

8:01 We'll show you. Yeah, yeah.

8:05 That's pretty epic. We're in control. Yeah, exactly. Jesus Christ, everyone, you know, it's so weird. When I was in Russia, it was just like, you know, it didn't seem like anything. It just sounded like another European, you know, place. Okay. Yeah. I didn't feel like European film. Yeah, it didn't feel at all like, you know, I don't know, dictatorship, Gestapo.

8:38 Like, it was like the same old fucking strip mall. The whole place is a strip mall. Just like. Just like in the United States. You know, I've heard you. There's a lot of, like, you need to be prepared to bribe there. I don't know, maybe I wasn't doing that kind of business, so. Okay, that didn't apply to me.

8:54 Cool. But from, like, you know, the outside looking in kind of as a tourist, it was just I didn't see anything the same is everything. Yeah. That's awesome. I didn't see anything strange at all. You know, the McDonald's can't see Christie cream fridge, all the, you know, Levi, all the brands. Thanks. The same brands that you'd find down, you know, New York.

9:16 Yeah. Fifth Street or whatever. Right, right. Whatever. It's gone. I don't know. Yeah. So it's like it's just one big kind of, I don't know, shopping malls. The best way to say it. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it was it was the same there as it was in the States. Same way it is. Europe everywhere have gone. It's been the same.

9:37 The the same monument to consumerism. Yeah, man. It's like, you know, you expect it to be everything's gray. You know, everyone's wearing a, government suit uniform, you know? Right. Yeah. That's like the propaganda that you'd expect. But instead, everybody's wearing Levi's and, hanging out. Yeah, there's, like, check your papers at every checkpoint and shit. Right? That's what you expect.

10:03 Yeah, but instead, it's just, you know, to our standards, normal, quote unquote, normal Western. That's definitely the propaganda we've been fed in that one thing I noticed is like, there seems to be a little more drinking. But it is, you know, it was a little fucking colder there than that. Then what happened? Used to you say. Which makes it.

10:22 I mean, I feel like you're gonna drink a little more if it's a lot colder, but maybe it was like the way the, custom, like, the culture was, like. Maybe they didn't hide it as much as they do in the States, you know, because it is taboo here. Yeah. It's like, you know, hydrogen in the pantry.

10:40 We're not we're no one ever goes behind the cupcakes. Right? You've got the liquor cabinet. Cuckoo, cuckoo.

10:50 But a friend of mine, we're not getting away from school bus. Is this impossible? Oh, yeah. That's never happened. I thought I did got lucky for being this long. Wipro. Right. But, friend of mine who has boarding tendencies that have been helping to clean your house. She had a liquor cabinet, right. But we went in there.

11:16 He grinned it up. I'm no longer had to not interrupt you. I hope that's something nobody ever says about me. This guy that's got hoarding. Jenny. Yeah. I'm sorry you do not compare to this one. It is obvious. Like it is borderline. We could call one of those shows. Really? Yeah, it's bad boy. That's pretty harsh. Her.

11:39 Her mom died, like, a decade ago. Her dad died before that, and she's just seems to have a theme. Somebody suffers a loss. Exactly. On the next thing you know, the camel leads to it. You know, don't let anything go. Surrounding himself from the stuff, especially stuff of nostalgia. But, you know, they just don't make sense. But, you know.

12:02 Oh, that was the. That was the hankie that dead blues Nelson, you know. Yeah. I'm not so sure about that. Right. So we've gotten the kitchen cleaned up and that's where her liquor cabinet was. Well, we had gotten rid of she had gotten rid of before I got there. A mouse infestation. Well said. Mice crapped all over this liquor cabinet.

12:32 Damn drunk mice right here. Whining cheese. There a whole bunch of drawers that had all these Tupperware at them. I shit all over all of them. Oh, I made her get rid of absolutely every bit of it. Of course it was a struggle. But once I explained the whole disease idea there. Yeah, she was willing to get rid of her.

12:56 So you can imagine, like a house full of just. Even if it's just papers and, you know, whatever. Just stuff you could imagine. Like it off gassing to some extent to be like, you know, like your ear quality has to be reduced. Yeah. I got her to put a filter, an air filtration thing in there and get me.

13:14 So she's got a pure air for your fire, and it still stinks in there. I think it's mold. Damn. Yeah. I mean, naturally, anything that has any kind of organic fiber can, you know, organic material. Organic fiber. It was even going to mold up. Yeah. Decompose over time. Yeah. That's why people, I guess, put things like in plastic and mothballs and try to preserve it.

13:36 Good for me. Good point. You know, but still like when you have, you know that that three dimension. Right. Like stuff like pile on top of stuff on top of stuff. Yeah. And, you know, you had a high humidity day where a lot of humidity got in there. Everything gets, you know, saturated to that to some extent. That's good point.

13:54 And so then yeah. So that and then it's going to hold and trap the moisture because it's you know three dimensional the volume. Yeah. Yeah that makes so much sense. So we've got two rooms cleaned and functional out of. So what. So what is how does she react to to the clean rooms. She's happy. Yeah. Oh. So she's like she's willing to change.

14:21 Yes. Once she started seeing results I see like she can do yoga in front of her TV now. And we have a brand new rub there and have a karaoke cabinet with the things that we found in the living room. Okay. All right, all right. Cool, cool. It's working out great. That's good to hear. Like, nice to hear success stories of these times.

14:43 I sure as hell didn't think it was going to when I started. Gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. Those kind of things I guess like when you first look at them overwhelming, it's like start with the first bin type thing. Yep. So we've got the only thing left in Lebanon is like eight bins left but they're in bins. Everything's in bins beautiful.

15:04 And then all in the kitchen and the kitchen doesn't have poop in it. So you've had for bar over the top of the house. Top of the apartment. What percentage bar would it be? I'd say probably 30. Okay, I'm on the way to normal. Yeah. And then cool. Man, that's pretty good. So noticeable. Yeah. The most registered three rooms.

15:25 Functional out of six. Gotcha. I've seen that hoarding show actually on TV where they have, like, these just people that are, you know, and they. And it's weird. It's like they, really don't strongarm them for say no. Like, they try to get them to do everything willingly. Yeah. And I guess the whole idea is if they do it willingly, it's more likely to stick.

15:47 I see. I don't know. And then it makes you wonder, like, you know, is it just is it just made for TV thing, you know? Right. But the volume of stuff, some of these people I know. Right. You know. Yeah. It's like if you imagine paying the full retail value of all those things, you know. Yeah. It's like, not that you're ever going to recover any of it, but no, no, but but it was a fortune and stuff and, and a lot of times that's what people are saying, you know, when they're wanting to hold on to it.

16:16 I could sell that. I could sell that. Yeah. Go. Good luck, Brian, when you maybe can, but not for anything that you think it's worth. Like, you know, you paid 100 bucks for it. You're going to get $5 for it. Yes, yes. That's it. Or you might have to sell it in a lot with ten other hats or $7.

16:33 Yeah. That's right, that's right. And then, you know, that's kind of like a kick in the gut punch because you know, this perception, that's the thing. It's it's your perception getting blown getting destroyed. Yeah. And some people from what I understand, when they have that big hoarding situation they like, they don't even see it. Like they don't see it as hoarding.

16:54 Yeah. They see just like their stuff. Yeah. I'm collector. I'm a collector. I, you know. Yeah. There you go. Give it a name. Yeah, yeah. Well, so, you know, I've seen people. What are your people? Actually, I'm not going to name any names, but, sir, there's people that we both know that I've been to their house, and I don't think you have to.

17:14 Where? They're in the same situation. In fact, there's one dude that's, like, buried alive, man. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. I've never been in that scene. That bad situation. Yeah, I brought him a replacement refrigerator because the refrigerator went out, and I told him that I would, he's older, so I told him not only would I, you know, bring the new one over for him, but I would install it, you know, like the ice maker and all that.

17:37 That's so cool. You know? And, I didn't know what I was getting into. Oh. So first of all, we had to dig a tunnel like two. The spot with the fridge was going day like, which took hours to move. Enough stuff out of the way, you know? Yeah, it's bulky, you know, appliance. Yeah. So you got to clear a big tunnel.

17:59 Yeah. To get get the other old one out and the new one in. And the clutter had actually like gone to the outside, like made it to the outside outdoors. But it was behind a fence, a wooden fence that you couldn't see through. Okay. So you didn't know it was coming until he opened up the gate to the fence and you were right there.

18:18 Yeah. And the gate opens, like halfway and then starts hitting stuff, you know, you're like, what's going on with this gate? And then you realize pretty quick what's going on. Oh, shit. I am proud of this neighborhood that they had not had to do anything to the glass windows at jerks. Almost every other church around here been around for a while.

18:36 That's protected your glass. Protected them from what I'm guessing from people breaking them to oh, you got a broken window situation here. Yeah, it worked with windows. No, but I mean, in general. Oh, yeah. Yeah, a lot of the troops were in here. I guess people had decided they wanted to break into steal stuff. You maybe a certain point in your life when you just rob a church.

19:01 Yeah. Dude, that's a that's a low. That's. I don't know if you can go a lot lower in your burglary. Burglary light from a church. It's like you're bringing you're bringing the pipes to a pipe organ to the recycling center. Just not suspicious. And the thing is, there's the recycling center. Care? Yes. Did you like, sir? Where did you get these?

19:32 Oh, you know, my grandma really likes playing your grandma, right? You know, it's like, such a distinct thing that you, you know, could only be from one source, right?

19:46 And I am sure they have to reject or report stuff all the time. I mean, after you take, like, the goblet or something, you know, like, what are you doing? Stealing wooden pews, you know, like, I mean, I'm guessing they're breaking up. They are vaults.

20:03 Cause, I mean, come on. They are keeping money in their after Sunday collection. That shit. Wait. I'm like, yeah, someone breaks into the church, like, expecting a big pile of money. Like freaking bad money. Like just in the middle of it. Yeah. This is their. It's like, right, stored in the altar or something. Well, I mean, it would be more consistent with what it really is about.

20:21 It would at least at least they're not lying because it's such a monument to money though. They removed the money. Yeah. In God we Trust, right. Yeah, yeah. Oh, damn. That was delicious. I like that. Open that one up. Yeah.

20:39 Let's try over there. Let's go over this way. See what happens. I like it. Let me get away. Stay. Well, we got to stay away from that big rotor. Also like, contaminate our audio stream. Like, damn. Like the occasional car is like, you know, in a way, kind of nice. Yes, it breaks it up. Yeah. Let you know that we're.

20:57 The jet doesn't. We could be in a studio doing this shit. Nobody, you know, and just dubbing in this bad sounds.

21:06 Trying to make it, you know? Yeah. Dubbing in the sound of my thighs rubbing against each other.

21:15 We won't talk about. We won't talk about what it looked like when we were recording their sound. If someone just saw the city. You think that we were some freaky people? I just said no. Go. Well, let me go back.

21:32 You see, in Austin Powers where the like inside the tent and they had the light on. Yeah. And and and and the the Navy guys or whatever or watching this, like what they perceive is like this terrible pulling. Yeah. Yeah. Like something hard. Yeah. That's what it would be like with, you know, the, the sound equipment, it trying to record your thighs in the studio.

22:00 No, no, no. It's okay. Well, dub out the sound of the treadmill. We'll just get in the past.

22:06 Oh, dear Lord, that's terrifying. Yeah it is. It's scared the hell out of me. But that's the thing about, you know, 2022, we talked about deep fakes and all that kind of stuff. Everything's like a freaking show, you know? Like, right? Like everything's nothing's real. Oh. Another thing. Somebody created a really bad, deep fake of a, Ukraine's President Zelensky.

22:27 Oh, really? Oh, yes. A rendering or something? Well, no. It was some statement you didn't make. It was on the way towards the render object. But they created really bad, deep fake. And they hijacked Ukrainian TV station. Wow. Display it. Wow. That's different. Yeah, and that's unusual. There you go. Usual. It's just open. Yeah, I think they. They're probably loading it.

22:52 They have to be. Yeah. Actors. So. Yeah man I thought that was interesting. But it was such an obvious thing. Like his head didn't fit his body. Yeah.

23:09 He's his body completely still. And just this mouth area is moving. Yeah. Right. Yeah. It's like a deep fake that I would make. There you go. It must have been in an hour or so. Right. And that's how totally how it had to have been done. Some general was like you, you do it. It's like the it's like the intro to SpongeBob when they have the mouse talking on the pirate captain.

23:36 That's the deep thing. Oh, is it under the sea? I was, I was thinking of alternate lyrics for Russia. Yeah.

23:49 Who's coming to take over and invade me? Vladimir Putin.

23:56 Riding the Baron. Adorable as he and I can go on. So something about rolling over and showing your soft underbelly, I don't know.

24:09 Yeah. Now, now I'm curious to see those, like, little drone things that fly down and kill tanks and kill airplanes. There's probably some video out there, I guess if you created, like this canvas in the sky, if it's all these drones and there's these kamikaze, you know, it's got the local leader built into them or whatever, you know, it's like fine grain.

24:28 Oh, these things can all of a sudden just rock it like super speed. So, like, they're up high, like gliding around like a hawk, you know, like using almost no power. Yeah. And then as soon as they get the target, they hit the booster.

24:41 He badass. Yeah. What, like in a stereo way. I've always wanted the set up, like a domestic drone to perch atop power lines and charge via induction and spy. Yeah, birds aren't real. He's right. Right. It's like they're all spy drones. You know, the person that started the birds aren't real thing. You know about that, right? No I don't.

25:07 Okay. So there's, like, this group of people driving around with vehicles like raps. You know, how they put the graphic raps on vehicles? Yeah. And the rap on the vehicle says birds aren't real. Real. It's like the idea is that all birds are nothing but modern surveillance. What the fuck? Yeah, right. And so, like, you're getting people to, you know, believe it.

25:28 Just like flat earth. Yeah. And I don't know how prevalent it is or how much they've gotten traction, but I've seen it. I've seen them like, okay. I mean, I really feel like that's just an outgrowth of never having been outside. Never seen any of your partner. Never. Oh, the injured bird is just, you know, the CIA is going to come and collect it and replace it with a with a good one.

25:49 Okay, so the injured bird with its guts leaking out, they're going to come replace the guts. I mean, oh, the guts is just a high sensitive microphone array. Oh. Got it. So it's a they're really just biological cyborgs that have been tuned to the uses of the CIA. Oh, yeah. Okay. Convincing, like down to a T, right? Like it's it's nanotech.

26:16 So you can't even even if you caught a burden, dissected it, you couldn't even find the tech and wow, who knows? You know, you can basically clearly get people to believe anything. I mean, like Christianity. Oh, shit. Shots fired. Well, more than that, that was like a that was like a dirty bomb. Like George Carlin said, you got people to believe that there's an invisible man.

26:38 He's up in the sky. He watches everything you do every second of every day. I loved his character in dogma. Yeah, I actually didn't see that. Oh, so he was a he was a Catholic priest.

26:53 Oh, boy. And he was in charge of this new marketing campaign to accrue the relations with the Catholic Church. And it was called Buddy Christ. You know, you're on to something. When you got George Carlin playing a compiler. Oh, yeah. It was fucking amazing. That's funny. And the Christ, the Christ statue they had, he's like winking at you, pointing the finger at you.

27:18 I was rolling there was this one, one article. Like, I don't know, it's like the Guardian or something. And it was this, this, like a 30ft baby Jesus that they had at some church down in South America somewhere, like God. And the baby Jesus looked just like Phil Collins.

27:35 Yeah, you're totally right. Like we had to link content to our blog. Like, it's like kind of blog as well as podcast. Yeah. I think, you know, like to add this kind of content. So when you talk about it, people going, oh no, I gotta go see that shit. Yeah. Because people are going to want to see you.

27:48 30ft baby Jesus will say folk. Collins. Yeah, it's like one of those rare times where I'm, like, literally laughing out loud by myself like a maniac, you know? You know, something's good when you're, like, alone and laughing. Yeah, right. Because, like, it's easy when someone else's all else is around, right? Because, like, you want to laugh. It's like a cue, you know, that you're.

28:08 But unfortunately, I'm that kind of maniac that lasts by myself all the time. My brother Colton called it out. He was like, I was, okay, you're one of those guys. All right, all right. I learned something about you today, right, I text it, I was texting both of my brothers and I said, lol. This was years ago. Like 15 years ago.

28:27 Colt's like, you know Sean. No, he probably is really laughing out loud by himself. That's great. And I was like, I am, I totally am. Well, when you're ROLT whatever you want, when you're where you're ruffling, then you had a real problem. Then that's like we're like, you know, issue. That's.

28:51 Probably. Yeah. But it would have medical condition.

28:57 Like straight up probably not. Right. I have to admit though, I have laughed so hard that I've like doubled over. Yeah, yeah. You know, and I've laughed so hard to where it's like the next day my cheeks and my stomach hurt. True. You feel like you pulled her out? Yeah, that's definitely happened. Yeah. So we're like, you know, literally like my cheeks on my face are sore, like those muscles, you know, let's save money.

29:27 We're magnetized to school busses. Apparently we are. We interact them. So, Yeah, I've never like it on the corner. Looking at 35 year old man I know, right? It's got 24 years of education. He did the 12th grade twice.

29:47 That's a great joke. Yeah, 16 years education. Yeah. You got to be smart enough to at least know double the number, is there, right, to make the joke. So, I mean, you know, you and self-deprecating humor is always funny. Oh, yes, I am one. When you get to the point where, like, there's, like, stages of self-deprecating humor. Yeah, right.

30:10 The first stage is like someone says something and kind of rib jabs you, and it's pretty fucking good. Like, they they they got you. They they nailed you. It was hoping. Right. Yeah. And like stage one of learning how to be self-deprecating is like, learning how to laugh at that, but you don't really mean it. Like you're just going through the motions.

30:29 I think you sincerely mean it. Enough. There you go on. Right. You've gotten to the things where you can fake that. That didn't piss you off, right? Right. But then you're back in my mother fucker, and you log it away. You're like, you're on my list of revenge.

30:47 Let me find out later that I'm a kidney match. Fuck you.

30:53 Do good. That's two fucking day. Damn right. I was just thinking to myself. It's a good thing we take different lives every day. Because I'm loud, okay?

31:07 Because some people that some people that like, you know, live and they really value. They're really. Morning sweets. Yeah. They've now arisen three times. Right. They're going to be out on their porch with a shotgun. Damn. Yeah. If you're gonna go, might as well go all the way. Right. So but oh. So I was gonna get to the 11th.

31:28 So. Yeah. The next stage of self-deprecation is, you know, giant dump truck comes right now. So this is the sound of a truck at 6:00 in the morning. No truck. Yeah, right. Serial number SN962. There you go. There we go. Anyway, so step two of self-deprecation is when it's like, you actually, trigger something, you know, you stumble upon something on your own, like you're at home or whatever, and you do something really stupid, and you, like, say some pejorative things you yourself like, oh, I'm such a dumbass, right?

32:05 And then like, snicker about it. That's like phase two. That's when you're starting to ease into getting comfortable, right? Right in front of yourself. Right. That's age two. And then stage three, there's like four stages of this. Right? So we'll just say three. You tell everybody about the stupid thing you did or yourself. No, no, that's a good one.

32:23 But stage three is like someone someone gives a good one in on you and you laugh. But this time you really think it's funny, right? That's stage three. Well, you got that deep belly laugh like, yeah. Jesus. He's activated. Yeah. And you're not pissed and you don't log in, right? Yeah. Right. That's that's stage theory. You're almost there.

32:41 Right. And then stage for the final actual stage is that you just lose all hope. You look in the mirror and you realize you're the fucking failure, but you're okay with that. You know, you come to terms with it over the years. And so, you know, now you're also like just laughing consistently at yourself in and out of every day.

33:01 That's the fourth and final stage. I believe I'm at that stage as I am consistently for many years termed myself as God's joke. I'm trying for that. I think I'm somewhere around stage two and a half three. Hey, I respect that it's a journey, but you're following more advanced than me. The reason I am so more advanced is, like you said you were talking about, you know, like, technology seems to hate you.

33:27 Like. Yeah, yeah, it does take. No just melt the only thing. Wait, that wasn't a route that was direct observation is a direct contravention. And it's true. So there's these truisms that swirl around in my life that I just had to accept that, you know, at the end of the day, though, that's what makes you credibly awesome at it, is that you had so much trouble shooting, like troubleshooting is the norm.

33:52 Yeah, yeah. I mean, the constant state of troubleshoot. So you're awesome at it. Like you're getting God level without even, you know, just those things are fucked up. Yeah. I mean, I usually know 3 or 4 ways to do everything. Okay. That's like that's like like street homelessness. Right. Like you've you're actually making it happen. You know, you're surviving, right?

34:13 You're getting by. Like, you know what? You know when it's really cold, where to go, you know where you know where to get that meal. Right. And, you're like savvy. You can, like, get that money pretty damn quick every day on the street, right? Yeah. One way or the other. You have like some you have these, like 5 or 6 steady, reliable conduits to get your money.

34:31 Yeah. Right. Or your food or whatever you need. Right. So, like, you're in a constant mode of, like, survival and and figuring out, like, problem solving. Yeah. Right. Dude, it was so funny. This day, we encountered just a neighborhood homeless guy. And in Johnny, he's all, yo, Jani. John. Johnny. Sorry. Oh. John. Johnny. Anderson. Johnny. This. I thought that maybe it was like that.

34:56 That guy that was a, I don't know, like, what was he, some kind of opera singer? Like I'm like that, right? He was like some European heartthrob with long black hair and this epic pedophile mustache. Yeah, it's in, like, workouts. And I was hanging drywall in Florida, and then the drinking problem just cost too much now. And so now he's on the street.

35:16 So like, in your neighborhood that's, you know, visiting Louis. Carolina. That's fucked up, man. If you like, give money to a homeless person and have their CD at home, it's pretty fucked up. Yeah, it was pretty fucked. Somebody had a bad record label. Bad record deal, right? Or their manager stole the cash. Something. That's what I'm saying. Bad deal.

35:35 Yeah, exactly. They should have read that contract a little more, you know, game like a rented Lamborghini, a rented house. You know, you saying the repo man comes now? He's like MC hammer. Oh, damn. And if he hammers next phase, he became a he became a preacher. Oh, the seconds of second best source of money. I mean, even did that shit right.

36:00 And Kanye got himself out of debt and became a billionaire by being a preacher, and I don't know. Oh, I think about it, but there you go with the cash. Is that it does it does. Better visible man. This guy that always needs money is really good at extracting it. He is, isn't he? It's like a yeah man.

36:20 Prosperity preaching for the win. Hey. Into the blessing, y'all. The prosperity doctrine. Prosperity preaching. That's something else, man. It is. And I saw one on YouTube. We're just guy like they're putting the money out on the stage and they're like rolling in that shit. Oh, like I'm not kidding. You like, for real? Like like literally. Was that low dollar doing that?

36:38 I don't know who it was. Okay. Then there's this other one of the guy talking about, like, he literally has the, the, the Cessna or whatever private jet. Well, up on the up on like the main screen. Wow. He's talking about how the, you know, the congregation needs this. It's like God wants me to have this.

36:58 That's right. That's right. Well, because I can go around the world and spread the word faster with this and off to wait. I don't have to go through TSA. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. You know, you wouldn't want such a man of God to be defiled by business class, would you? Yeah. And the urgency. You know, you need to get that preacher to that location.

37:17 So if there's a crisis, you know the person he needs to be there. Yeah. Or she or she must be fair. Or she. Oh, yes. Yes, women can equally participate in fraud, y'all. They can. But, you know, it tends to be this this kind of diabolical scheme tends to fall into the House of men. But that does. Yeah, but we'll do go.

37:34 Let me share. We'll say women can do. All right. Somebody I'm gonna cite who's just as good at it as a man. Kenneth Copeland is a wife. Is she? Yes. What she do? So wake it on. There ain't no similar. She preaches. She'll get on there. So she does a lot of praying. So while she's praying, you call in and you donate money, your prayers will be answered.

38:02 You get stuff when you donate. Oh, I see, I see. So you might get, you know, this clause blessed by Kenneth Copeland. Yeah. You know whatever there's like the suspension of disbelief thing like to where when someone kind of commits to something. You know, we talked about this before where remember, it's not going to be my friend. And I was like sending money to Palestine, Palestinian children and yep, you know, you end up be the one that tells her, you know, it's it's a scam.

38:28 And then like, emotionally, you're the bad guy or like, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth for you. It's hard you whereas you're doing nothing but really honestly trying to help. Right. So kind of the no good deed goes unpunished type thing, right? Right. Well, people do the same thing with these televangelists, with these, you know, prosperity gospel stuff.

38:47 Right? So I was like 12 or 13 and I really believed in this guy, Robert Tilton. I was right there. Yeah. So, so, when you pay into it, you've now, like, you got skin in the game. Yeah. You've like emotionally invested in the, in the truthfulness or the like the that, you know, you kind of said with your dollar that there's power in this.

39:06 Yeah. You know. Yeah. You have that it was sweat and tears have imputed. Yeah. Yeah it's power. And so now your brain you know now of course falls into it even more like, you know, believes it even more. Right. Yeah. And then it's a it's a feedback loop from there. Yeah. And then like every time money comes your way you're going to be like, oh, there it is.

39:26 It's coming back to me here. It's like the person that tells the story about how much they won in Vegas. Yeah, well, like everybody that comes back from Vegas talks about their winnings. Yeah. You know, and if and if like even a percentage of that shit were true, Vegas would be broke. True. Like, you know, it'd been bankrupt years ago.

39:44 Like every one of those casinos would be closing. You're right. If, you know, had the payouts that people were claiming. Right. So I got one six grand. Yeah. Me too. And then the next guy. And so the next guy. How the hell does casinos stay open? Exactly? Because 99% of the people that come back one long your ass off lost their shirt.

40:07 Yeah, they might have won the $500 with the black jack table, but then they lost the 20 grand, right? You know.

40:17 I mean, all I've ever done in gambling is lose. I never won a substantial amount, including scratch off tickets. So, like, I'll tell you a truth before, you know, I'll say something that's true. Confession. Like, we have confessions sessions here from ten something nice. Yeah. So here's my confession. Is that, like, I've hacked so many raffles, it's not even funny.

40:37 No, dude, I have one way, way more than my percentage I should have of raffles. That's awesome. By, like, bending my tickets, fucking around with them, like, right? Making it so when somebody dives their hand in there, it feels different, Right. And, like all kinds of little things, I've done all these little tricks to try to, you know, make my ticket like, put mine in, to at a time where there's still, like, connected by a little bit.

41:02 Right. So then they're more likely to like, come up with the edge guy, like you said. So when their hand goes in, it's like done everything I could think of to, like, manipulate the paper to make my effort and stand out. Right. That's so great. And then, you know, directly, directly game to like, one time I was reading off the numbers.

41:18 Off the tickets. Yeah. And I, I just memorized one of my numbers and just said, oh, they're sticking number, blah, blah, blah. And then I happen to have the matching sub. You're like, oh goodness, yeah, I won. Yeah, it was a Sony Walkman, man. Oh that was back in the day. Yeah dude. Yeah. That was not cheap. No.

41:37 And I had that thing forever to it was like one of the sports ones that had the little rubber seal gasket on the side. You know, they were gonna put up with a bunch of stuff. You could sweat into that everything. And it was like, you know, that that, that for a while it was like a popular thing to have was like that, you know, so that Sony Walkman, that they're a little shitty phones.

41:56 Yeah. The yellow and gray like yellow main body and then the like the flaps are give them the side were gray. Yeah. My mom had one two. It was bright yellow like eyeballs here. And yellow. Yeah. That was a shit, man. For the longest time. Yeah. She would wear it running and everything else, you know. So someone that comes up with a pair of, like, you know, iPods or AirPods.

42:20 Yeah. Right. And goes back in time to that shit. The person on the Sony be like, what is that? We're all gonna dumb. Like, I don't know why I can't get over it. Like these little sticks sticking out of people's ears all the time. I was still playing with it. And the thing is, I. There's a there's a huge garbage truck coming with me in here.

42:38 Okay, cool. And now.
