Speaker 1 (00:03):
Motherfucking many yourself many year and so motherfucking many yourself.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
But how small the world is?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
You know what I'm saying. It's just it's like it's
I feel like we made but there's your conspiracy tied
to that.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Oh yeah, bro, which is crazy?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Right?
Speaker 4 (00:24):
The world?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Well it's a small world after all, Right, what do
you think that absolutely means? What it means is that
you're really living in your realm? Like think about it
for real, Like you're really only around about I mean
like six hundred people.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Yeah at most, topping.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
And some of them you know, older, younger. All of
these are spirits. This is like your little village that
keeps going from life to life to life, like to
the point where it's like you start looking at the connections,
like how do fuck to this?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Why is this?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Why? Why do I only see what I'm thinking about?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Like why am I trapped inside of my own perceptions?
Like everything is right there? The day is that vos
everything You're always in the right place, You're always in
the right So why is that right? Like like why
would I have a day voo buy some ship that
I might not do, but then I always do it?
Speaker 5 (01:23):
But that's because, to your point, or to this theory,
our world is so limited that we can only imagine
what is what is within that little like one block.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
It's like a video game, right that has extensive background,
like all the Mountain or like Member on Street Fighter,
all that ship in the background. You can never interact
with it. It's really not like you're just you're only
your ship is linear right here?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah? What else is? At the bar? They got winter,
A bunch of sailors hanging around watching car. Oh god,
I bet you want niggat. They're smoking a cigarette. Why
(02:18):
well done? I like your top? Yeah for real?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
She got an ocean spread at the time, that nigga
because she was straight up because it was like that's
too bad, you know what I'm saying, Like you need
a you need a wave on your yeah, a little.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Fish don't.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Yeah, yeah, that's real ship.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
But nahoo, I think that we only liked.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
There's only a few hundred people in your story, right,
you know what I'm saying, And the fact of the
matter is that they all intertwined in ways that they
don't even understand. You think you're the connectivity, but it's
this plane. You know what I'm saying, it's just like
this is you know, like dog, we're reincarnated into these
small little groups, like even like just your wife is
(03:16):
not your blood relative, but then you meet them and
so many synchronicities happen because you met them. That's like
that shit ties the ship that ain'td nothing to do with.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
You, right, Their friends become your friends, their family becomes
your family. It creates, it creates the extension, but.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
For everyone to.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Loops back on itself.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I guarantee you there's somebody in your wife's family who
just so happens to know somebody that you knew when
you were in high school, and it'd be like what,
it's like, it's all a loop. There's like you should
be meeting people at this crazy rate, you should be
knowing insane amounts of people at this crazy rate, but
it's weird, like it's like a limited cast in this story.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
I think in a lot of ways, it reminds me
of how we talk about the Internet now, right, and
how like the Internet has reached this dangerous point where
our brains can't even process the amount of information that
we're receiving. And I think that is why humanity is
structured in the way that you're describing, where like we
can only really handle like three hundred people.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Yeah, you're never supposed to.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
All these motherfuckers, and then suddenly we do, and now
you're like, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
What to do with this. Yeah, exactly what happens.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
That's you're turned into this sociopath because or you turn
into like think about this, right, you know, doing stand
up comedy looking at as many eyes as look at us, Like,
I'm such a people reader now, because it's my job
to understand the vibe. Yeah, it's my job to pick
(04:57):
up when oh, this is a room that I'm gonna
have to warm them with some CrowdWork. This is the
room where it's like they're not really listening like that,
we gotta go hero. This is the room where these
motherfuckers are mad. Who pitched y'all off? And so it
leaks into my personal life. I can pick up on
so many nuances as it pertains to people's energy and
everything because it's my job. So just imagine Michael Jackson
(05:19):
looking at all these eyes, having dreams about eyes and
noses and ways that he thinks he's you know what
I'm saying. It's like we're not meant to take in
this many faces. When you look at all his artistic expression,
you know, there was like a couple of those different
vignettes where he was like running from the paparazzi, just
(05:40):
leave me alone and get your ticket, right, remember that?
And the thing is how he viewed though everybody was
monsterus to him. Everybody was monstrous to him because it's
just too much. It becomes a group opinion, a group.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Mold.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
You don't see individual people, you see mobs. And I'm
saying that's what humanity becomes to.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
You, even even you can't get. The more people you know,
the less people you even care about, right, I think about.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Even like performing in like big crowds, you know, I hate,
like like when you do like theaters and arenas and
ship after like a thousand people, it's just crowd. It's
not individuals anymore. You're like sitting there and you can
process through it like eight rows and then it just
turns into fucking see yeah, yeah, exact.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
I feel like because even when you performed to that
many people, you're still looking at that eight rows, like
you can't even the size. It can be exponentially, but
I figure it doesn't really tell.
Speaker 5 (06:46):
The difference between three thousand and ten thousands exactly, like.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Giant, Like our grandfathers had it so easy and rough
at the same time, Like the way that our generation
views their options as it pertains to the dating world's.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Ships driving us crazy.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Well, here's the thing, okay, there is there's a bunch
of negative connotations to look at it, Like, right, it's like,
you know, but the bottom line is that you know,
everything is getting faster and more efficient, right, like and
and so that would also include like people aren't willing
to suffer in silence, Like our granddad came home one
(07:36):
day and looked at our grandma like, man, this big
old bitch. But you know what, But you know what, man,
you know to your point, it's like you only know
(08:00):
three hundred people. After that, it's like, look after that,
whose ass is the biggest, who's the finest?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Like that's all I can care about. You know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
I know three hundred people. None of them are better
than this. Here we are.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
It's a much better game to play. You could get
one out of three hundred.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
That's awesome.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
How many people on Instagram I'm trying to get one
out of your bounty.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Theoretically, because courtship has become more efficient, you would imagine
that marriage should become more satisfying because you're you're, you're
able to.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Has it become more efficient or has it just become bigger?
I think that like it's become bigger for sure. I
don't know if it is more efficient. I think that
all this, like all the tools used to date in court,
I think it makes turns people in the psychopaths just
become tender, tender, crazy.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I'm gonna tell you this. This is what I see,
and this is what I want as it pertain as
to how we're moving right now, Right, I should be
able to walk into a restaurant with all minuted reality
glasses right, scann the QR code for the menu and
sit back and why these are metas but they're not
all men reality, right, they can like translate stuff and
read stuff. They can I can, like, you know what
(09:15):
am I looking at? It'll it'll tell me it's a
blue gatorad or whatever?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Right?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Are Yeah meta? Is that crazy?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yeah? Yeah? Sure?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I should be able to walk into a restaurant all
minut of reality. Look at the plates. Fuck the names
of the food on the menu. I should be able
to scroll through with my hand the plates turn them.
Oh is that possible with that? Oh they got the
rosemary and I don't want that. That's this is this
is this is how think about how efficient that would be?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Hmmm? No, na, is this striking off?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Because what happens is like this is it's so a
jump that is scaring us, right, but this is nothing
but monkeys using the tool to put into the beehive
to get the honey to be able to lick the
honey stick instead of hurting their tongue trying to lick
the honey comb. See, like we're supposed to be making
it easier for ourselves, Like we haven't had a double
(10:19):
up on innovation in a long time. Like, Bro, it's
niggas who are still sagging their pants? Who are who
remember VCR tapes, DVDs? Fucking you know what I'm saying,
dream casts, PlayStation one, two, three, four, And it's like
that's that's a very short time. Niggas ain't even mature.
It's niggas still like.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
What do you know?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Dip sht.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Everything? You know what I'm saying? This is one of
the biggest jumps in history.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
I think that, like like we are, we are leaning
towards becoming a super society now. And even though we
warring and all of that shit, the fact of the
matter is it's fucking drone footage of the Wars. You
could literally log onto a live stream of the war
and you're saying, you're.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Saying you can see somebody pussing next to your car. Yeah,
just like I will say to the courtship aspect of it.
I do think one thing that that doesn't account for
the idea of like the availability of all that shit.
A lot of times you don't even know what you want.
You know what you think you want, and if you
choose it within that way via the computer, you're only
gonna pick what you think you want, which is probably
(11:23):
not not I don't think that is more efficient.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I'm gonna tell you some real shit because we're in
analog stays right now. Bro See, if I were into
that tech shit, if our one of those guys, I
would make an app called first Date right once again,
all minute reality right. You literally scroll through and there's
a personal three D video of this girl's vibe, how
she talks, her attitude and y'all could sit on maybe
(11:47):
maybe select a meal.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Dum, we have a meal, man.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
The bottom line is this, like, what we're looking for
is a genuine connection and the quickest way to get
it with the best person possible. That used to not
be possible because you were only limited to your proximity space.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
But even even what you're describing, my fear is I
sit down with somebody, I get to do an AI
version of whatever that experience is, and then I don't
have any incentive to truly experience the human being that
that's on the other side.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
And you can't jack off in there.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
The order, And that's what he means when he says
genuine experience, Yeah, you gotta jack check it off, baby.
If you ain't jacking me off, what are we talking.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
About here, Well, the fucking mini year Sol Mini episode, moll,
the fucking mini ever so well, the fucking mini Sol
Mini episode. Well, the fucking mini earis
Motherfucking many yourself many year and so motherfucking many yourself.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
But how small the world is?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
You know what I'm saying. It's just it's like it's
I feel like we made but there's your conspiracy tied
to that.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Oh yeah, bro, which is crazy?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Right?
Speaker 4 (00:24):

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Well it's a small world after all, Right, what do
