Whenever you are welcome to two men with a mic.
Greeting. Greeting my friend.

It's a beautiful day. It's my wife's birthday, even

(00:20):
though this episode will come out later.
Oh, happy birthday to Jen, happybirthday to Jen, happy birthday
to Jen, happy birthday dear Jen,happy birthday to you Jen, and

(00:41):
many more. That's all we used to say.
Now it's funny. Now the girl's got a whole
Subway commercial at the end of the birthday song.
Really. Yeah.
How'd it go? I don't know Subway eat fresh,
ha. But yeah, something like that.

(01:04):
I don't understand it but. What are you?
What are you doing for your wifeon her birthday?
Me, I'm doing my typical thing, absolutely nothing because I'm a
worthless individual, but my kids who have been raised by a
beautiful woman are doing all kinds of great stuff and I'm
tagging along. Oh yeah, and what's on the

(01:26):
itinerary? So I don't know exactly.
We're going to a kind of a fancyrooftop restaurant.
It's kind of a thing. It's not like you would back in
our day what a fancy restaurant would be.

(01:47):
This. The in thing is some of these
designer showrooms and stuff that sell designer household
type things. This particular one's called
Restoration Hardware and they sell just anything for the house
like cabinets and lighting and faucets and everything, you

(02:13):
know, and it's all designer showroom.
But on top of it they put a restaurant, you know, and it's
kind of AI mean. It's not like a tuxedo fancy
restaurant. It's just, you know, it's not
going to be your beach bum restaurant either.
And so the end thing is to go eat at a restaurant on top of

(02:35):
one of these fancy places. So we're gonna apparently go do
that and go drive around at the beach and just hang out and
cruise around What what we like to do?
Sounds good dude. Yeah, and celebrate.

(02:57):
So yeah, it'll be, it'll be nice.
Good dude. Dare I ask how old, how old she
is? She is 51.
She's young, a younger than justa young.
And yeah, she's just a young andshe's just a kid.

(03:18):
What did you get her for her birthday dude?
I haven't. Oh, well, I can't say right now
'cause she could hear, you know what I mean?
Yeah. I haven't given it to her yet,
so I'll have to share that next episode.
OK, so the audience has something to look forward to.

(03:41):
Yep, we're going to find out next week what Mitch gave his
wife for her birthday. I gave.
Her AI gave her a card and a Reese's.
Did you give her a like a copy of updater?

(04:02):
Oh, oh, that's funny. That's just 'cause she's all
like, well, what are you gonna talk about, Updater?
What are you gonna? You know, she's giving me a hard
time 'cause I'm putting a lot oftime into those commercials for
Updater, you know? Yeah.
And so she's all like, it's all updater this and all updater
that. And it's funny you said that.

(04:23):
I wanna give her. What do you want to be a tech
giant or what? Give her a subscription to
update her. Yeah.
Although, although everybody else could do that, you know,
everybody else could. You know that's a great gift for
others, right? Yeah.
Yeah, they could give their family members a gift to update

(04:46):
or, and they could call in and tell their stories and then it
would come out and they could, the stories could be emailed to
the entire family or whatever memories, you know, or they you
can e-mail it to one person and they could take that and go put
it on Shutterfly and put it turnit into a book of memory.

(05:06):
Right. So that would be cool.
Yeah. Yeah.
That's one thing updaters you can use updater for.
So make them books of memories. Yeah, perfect.
Yeah. Wouldn't that have been cool,
like for your mom and dad or, you know, like, especially like
Edgar, if they would have had that back then, you know, to

(05:26):
have Edgar just call in and tellhis stories.
Yeah. Is your mom using it?
She's going to. That's why it was originally
made. Made.
And then we modified it and expanded it.
Yeah, you know, But that was theidea.
That was the root idea behind it.
Yeah. So she could do that.

(05:48):
That'll be cool man, your mom has a lot of stories to tell.
Yeah, and she likes to talk. Yep.
That runs in the family, huh? Runs in my yeah yeah, we're all
talkers. They're all talkers, yeah.
Yeah, like that. That's funny.

(06:10):
So what was that? At work you you sent me like a
dire text from work. Oh, oh, yeah.
I feel so bad. I, you know, the old Mitch, you
know, I've worked years to suppress him and keep him under
control. But I just had it with a

(06:32):
subcontractor and luckily my boss was on the phone too to, to
like step in. Yeah.
And, and stuff. But yeah, you know, I just kind
of yelling at him and, and stuffbecause he he, you know, I mean,

(06:53):
it's clear. Tell me if this isn't obvious.
OK, so, so this guy, you know, we, we say we're, we're at the
end of this job, right? I mean, we're like at the last,
like, we'll, we'll be 100% out of the house next week.
Like we were trying to get done by Tuesday, but we'll be out of
the house next week. We're supposed to be.

(07:14):
Anyway, Long story short, every time this guy's coming to do is
do do our work, he's like, yeah,I'll be there at 4:00, I'll be
there at 4:00. So he never comes to the job
site until 4:00 then and and then he's like, oh, OK, well,
well I'm going to have to do that on a Saturday.

(07:36):
So he never comes during regularhours and he only wants to work
on Saturdays and then every timehe comes he comes up with an
excuse not to get anything done.Really.
Yeah, but he, but he's only coming when, when like we're not
there, right? I mean, you know, he says he'll
be there at 4:00 and then he, he, you know, 4:00 turns into

(08:02):
I'll be there between 5:00 and 6:00.
Wait, people are living in the house, right?
You, you you can't show up to doyour work at 5 or 6 at night and
then stay there all night? Yeah, they live there.
I mean, it's just, it's just Bush league.
It's, it's really just, Oh my God, you're getting me pissed
off now. Yeah.

(08:24):
So I laid into him then, you know, he was all because he was
supposed to be there Friday. You know, he says, yes, I'll be
there by 4:00 and I'm like, OK, and I'm supposed to leave by
4:30. You know, that's when I'm off on
Fridays, any, any day, right? I'm off by 430, supposed to be
off by 4:30. And and I'm supposed to leave to

(08:44):
go get Amber at the airport. You know, 430 comes around and
he's like, oh, you know, and he hasn't gotten there and oh, I'm
not going to be there till 5 or 6.
And I'm just like, no, forget it, dude.
You know, the owner, the owner. I just when 430 came, the
owner's like, hey, you know what, we're leaving.
What should we do? And I'm not just like, lock up

(09:06):
and leave. I mean, I was there.
I just went outside. I said, yeah, lock up, put your
alarm on. Do you guys just leave?
Don't even worry about it. But he makes me look bad because
I'd say, OK, yeah, he's going tobe here at 4:00.
And then 4:00 comes and the dudedoesn't show up.
Yeah, sounds like you need another contractor.
Oh, yeah, that's exactly he he was, he was, he was all like,

(09:29):
well, you know, what do you wantme to do?
And I or he was like, well, whatdo you want?
And I was like I want a contractor that.
Can trust and kind of show up when they say they're going to
show up and not put us on the asobviously the last or job of the
day, you know, we're clearly notimportant.
Yeah. You know, but yeah, it was more

(09:49):
choice words than that. But it was, yeah.
So you know, when you get down to the end of the job, it's.
I had to have the electrician there three times because the
guy that kept sending was, let'ssay, just not paying attention
to detail. And then he, this guy wouldn't

(10:10):
show up either when they they said, Oh yeah, they'll be there
between 2:00 and 3:00. And then he shows up at 4:30.
Yeah. And it's just like, dude, man.
And then they couldn't get it done.
And then, you know, these peopleare showing up at times that,
that, that we're not there and or I'm not there, you know, odd,

(10:31):
odd hours, right. And, you know, I got a life too.
So it was just really frustrating.
And then they would have roadblocks that they couldn't
figure out and they just roll upand leave and stuff.
So yeah, I was, I was screaming and yelling at him with my boss

(10:54):
on the my boss was on the phone.It was a three-way call.
Yeah. Wait.
Do that? Did what?
So what's the final thing? Are you not going to use?
He he's supposed to show up again Monday at 4:00, which is
bullshit. It's bullshit because why, you
know, why do we have to be at 4:00?

(11:15):
They're clearly doing other things or we're a side hustle
or, or whatever man. He needs to because ass needs to
call in sick at whatever else he's doing and show up here
because they're telling me and this electrician is frigging the
electrician was Oh my God, dude did the guy like screwed a box

(11:37):
on the wall diagonally and just walked away and left it like,
you know, it's it's it's a it's a rectangle, right?
And it's literally you can it's diagonal.
You put a frigging. You know how smoke detectors
around? Yeah.
Right, so light switches and stuff like that are rectangles,

(11:57):
right? Yeah.
So. So he just put a smoke detector
over a rectangle box and let allthe, you know, let all the
corners show. Oh wow.
So you have a circle covering part of a rectangle.
It's just in a brand new, you know, family room.
Yeah. It's like, it's like, really,
dude? I mean, you don't see a problem
there. You don't see the box screwed on

(12:21):
the wall literally diagonally asan issue.
Yeah, so it was. It's stuff like that, right?
Stuff the home, the homeowner was like, well, what's that?
And why is that sideways? You know, I don't even know what
it is, but you know it can't be sideways.
Yeah. Just yeah.

(12:41):
So I had two really bad Subs on this job.
Oh. Boy.
So. Your price is all with you on
all this though, right? Like.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He, he knows.
He knows. But the homeowner got all pissed
off because people were there and I told him it was going to
happen. People are there, they're not
getting stuff done, there's no supervision.

(13:03):
They feel like they have to supervise it.
Well, I'm sorry, I'm not going to be hanging out at those
people's house at 6:00 at night.Yeah.
You know, and, and so this guy again, when we talked to him on,
we were having, when I was having my blow up on Friday
afternoon at 5:00 and he's all well, I'll just come Saturday.
And I was like, absolutely not. I said absolutely not.

(13:26):
I and my boss was like, yeah, yeah, that'll work come
Saturday. And I said, Nope, I'm not doing
it. I won't be there.
I'm not going to support it. I'm not going to back it because
I wasn't going to be there. Yeah.
So. Ruin your weekend just because
he's being flaky. Well, that and and if I'm not
going to be there, we have the same problem.
He's going to have excuses why he can't get stuff done.

(13:49):
Yeah, and. Normally a good subcontractor,
right? They don't just throw their
hands in the air and walk away. They say, hey, this isn't
working, so I'm going to have todo this, this and this to make
sure it gets done, right. They, they, they make sure it
gets done. Whatever they got to do, they
figure it out instead of just throwing their hands in the air.

(14:12):
The one he was all like, yeah, we put that she had these
beautiful massive refrigerators,freezer and refrigerator.
And and you know, the guy's like, oh, it doesn't work.
It doesn't work. Well the electrician comes over
and he flips the breaker on. Yeah.
But he tells her, oh, we did allthis and now we're going to have
to come back and take it apart because something doesn't work

(14:35):
and and all this kind of stuff like that and getting her all
bothered and upset. Yeah.
And the electrician comes over and he just turns the breaker
on. But but see, that's the
difference between between someone trying to figure
something out, you know? Yeah.

(14:56):
Anyway, yeah, so my biggest problems are these two guys on
this job. Everybody else is has been
really good and helpful. Yeah.
And stuff so. Yeah, I'm surprised because you
you always keep stuff on an evenpeel, but I actually got an

(15:18):
angry text from you. Like I'm just sitting here
waiting for you dumbasses. And I was like, I was like, but
that that's that's actually pretty rare from you.
You almost never complain about work or anything like that.
Well, you know, if I could just take the people out of my job,
it would be awesome. Yeah, isn't that everything?

(15:39):
Yeah, I need robots. We're gonna get em.
Did you see that little clip I sent you?
Yeah, Yeah, I don't actually, I didn't even pause to check to
make sure it's real. But they there it, it was
attributed to Elon Musk. And they said that Elon Musk was
saying that it'll it'll all be robots by 20-30.

(16:01):
And yeah, I, I mean, the whole deep state plot is by 20.
Thirty, 90% of all human beings will be dead.
And the remaining 500 million onthe earth in 20-30 will live off
a universal income. Nobody will work, nobody will
have a job, and robots will do everything for us.

(16:23):
Oh, if we're the ones that live through the genocide.
Oh, there you go. Yeah, so.
An idiot. But we're going to need
according to shit, I can't remember the movie according to
the Tom Cruise movie, I think itwas Tom Cruise.

(16:45):
It wasn't Tom Cruise. I can't remember who's movie it
was. But according to some movie,
they need all these people because they have we get we're
fighting an alien force that's superior to us and they're
losing. So they they they scan the death
certificates and the day people are supposed to die, they come

(17:07):
back in time and gather them allup and take them to the future
to fight their war. Oh, OK, so they don't.
My understanding is they just want to kill us all.
They don't need us anymore. They have robots and stuff.
Well. That was the movie.
That was one of the movies I sawwhere they.

(17:28):
It sounds a little familiar to me, but I can't quite place it.
Yeah. So they, they come back in time.
They gather the people that are supposed to die in the next
week. They come, you know, randomly
like once a month, and gather all the people from the earth
that are supposed to die in the next week.
And they transport them to the future and they, they keep

(17:53):
fighting them and, and bringing more people to the future
because they're, they're supposed to die anyway.
So they're not going to affect the timeline.
Oh, OK, yeah, that's sounding even more familiar.
But I don't. Quite remember.
Yeah, I don't remember what it was called, but anyway, so you
know, I guess if they, you know,if they knock our population

(18:17):
down, then the future when they need to come back and get
people, they're going to have limited resources.
Oh yeah, just saying, Just saying.
Yeah, something to think about, something to think about.
But I guess they could just comeback and get the robots.

(18:41):
I guess so. Oh yeah, that's right.
Why don't we use robots anymore?What the hell?
Well, supposedly they're moving that way.
I know there's a lot of drugs that's now.
Yeah, yeah. Crazy.
It's insane. Yeah.

(19:01):
Crazy world. Mad world.
Kick. Sad world.
What was that from? I forgot.
Oh, it was that there was an animated series on MTV for a
while called Daria, which was sort of funny.
It was like this deadpan, sarcastic kind of nerd girl at

(19:25):
high school and like all of her adventures.
But I remember when they would go home, like at night on the
show, everyone would be watching.
I think if I'm right or, or maybe this is the South Park,
but they would come home and watch the show and it was called
sick. Sad world.

(19:49):
You never watched Aria? It was I.
Watched it, was pretty funny no?OK.
I think that was like during my drug years.
That's the way you watch it though.
It's like you need. Some No, I didn't.
I didn't watch. I didn't watch much TV during
that time. I was.
I was out playing softball and drinking and you know, like at

(20:12):
bars and stuff. Yeah, it's a new.
Dive Yeah. So yeah, I wasn't, I wasn't in a
place to watch TV. Do you remember the new dive
though? The what?
The new dive Lake Alice. No, but well, actually it's

(20:33):
changed and yet again, but like one of the things before, like
you disappeared one way and I disappeared another way was like
a bar opened in a place that hadnormally been a pizzeria.
And you, you called me from thenyou called me from the bar and
you're like, dude, come down andhave drinks with me, man.
It's the new dive like dive bar.I know, but I can't remember.

(20:58):
I don't remember where that was.Well, it was.
It was over here like where I live.
Oh, oh, the old It never turned into a bar.
It was a pizzeria the whole time.
We just turned it. We made it a bar.
Oh yeah? Well, there's another version of
that still here. I don't think it's the same
people. Oh yeah, probably not.

(21:20):
Yeah, but it's basically the same thing.
It's a pizzeria, but you can go in there and get a beer or
whatever. Yeah.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
I spent a lot. My kids spent a lot of time
there. Oh, I know.
Well, it you know it, it did change hands.
But when, when you were here, itwas the place called New York
Pizzeria, right? That pizza was so good.

(21:43):
Remember that. Yeah, yeah, they had good pizza.
Yeah, they had excellent pizza. And then everybody that that
worked there was like an anarchist.
They would, they would start telling us all this stuff about
the government and like, I don'tknow what.
And do you remember that? Like they and like, I remember
one time for some reason, I had a large bill or something to

(22:04):
break to pay the bill. You know, like I had, I had a
bunch of money and she was like checking it in the light to make
sure it wasn't counterfeit. And I didn't know what that was
was at the time. And she was like, oh, yeah, it's
this. It's counterfeit.
And then she went into like thiswhole thing about the government
and like, you know, they were, yeah.
They were like pizza making anarchists.

(22:28):
Yeah, there you go. Nothing like pizza making
anarchist to sell you beer. Yeah, exactly.
They were funny and remembered Adam worked in there, Thomas's
brother. Oh my God.
Yeah, God about that, he did. He was in there for a while.

(22:48):
Yeah, in between his working at the at the prison, I don't
remember. That.
Yeah, yeah, I remember he wantedto be a cop.
I remember we used to give him ahard well, Thomas used to give
him a hard time all the time. About being a pig.
Oh, yeah, yeah. I don't want to hear it from
you, pig. He also.

(23:13):
Used. To call him boy boy, yeah.
He'd be like, Adam would come inand like, you know, give him
some grief or whatever, and he'dbe like, OK boy.
Or like when he gets from school, he'd be like, hey boy,
remember? That yeah, I'd be like fuck off,
boy. I don't want to hear it.

(23:34):
I had her. Yeah, these those guys, they
were, they were always fighting,actually.
Yeah. But but Oh yeah.
But so yeah, Adam was in there and, and, and yeah, it was, it
was a cool place. Adam was cool in there and we
used to hang up there all the time and and drink lots of beer

(23:54):
and eat lots of delicious pizza and.
Yeah, it's Oh my God, gone like the wind.
It's gone like the wind, man. There is another place there,
though. It's pretty good and, and it's a
pizzeria and it, it looks very similar to, you know how it was

(24:17):
when you were still here. Oh wow.
So yeah, they're, yeah, they're actually nice.
They're and then I, I noticed a New York pizzeria across town
and I was like, oh, I wonder if if New York Pizzeria just moved
and, and it's still the same guys, but it's not.

(24:38):
I I tried their pizza and it's OK.
You know, there's nothing wrong with it really.
But New York Pizzeria, I don't know what the recipe was.
We should ask Adam what the recipe was, because that was a
really delicious pizza. I'm.
Afraid to get the answer from him.
It'd be like for you guys, it was, you know, Rd. kill.

(25:00):
Hell yeah, that's. All saliva, isn't it?
Wait, that's why you guys thought it was so?
Good 'cause it was all saliva back.
In the day do you? Do you have a good pizza where
you are? Yeah, yeah, we got a couple, but

(25:22):
nothing that nothing. That's like knocked my socks
off. Yeah.
You know, nothing that's like, Oh my God, this is good.
I mean, it's it's fine, but I haven't really found one that
that was utterly amazing in a long time.
Yeah, me either. What's I think we're in a pizza

(25:42):
crisis in America. I know that would be the biggest
concern. It it would be if you can't get
a decent pizza, then this is no democracy.
Yeah, there was that New York pizzeria.
I'm not saying the pizza around here is bad or anything.
There's, you know, you kind of pizza's always good, even you

(26:03):
can't really mess that pizza. But yeah, back in the day, New
York pizza here was special. There was something really good
about it. I don't know what it was.
And like when I lived in Ocean Beach in San Diego, they had a
place there called Espresso. And it was awesome.
It was such a great pizza. They were there for a long time,

(26:24):
but they they finally laughed. But yeah, I, I can't like all
the pizzas basically get, but I can't think of a pizza where I'm
like, oh, I can't wait to order that.
You know, they are really the best, you know?
But. Nothing like that.
So I'm scared for this country dude if we can't get a good
pizza here. Yeah, I don't know what, I don't

(26:46):
know if it's because they like, first of all, they went to like
gluten free and, you know, all this other health stuff and
they've like ruined the flavor of, of the stuff.
You know, it's like when McDonald's stopped cooking their
fries and lard. I well, I I missed that one.

(27:10):
What happened there? McDonald's used to make their
French fries in like lard, that's why they were so good.
But it was really unhealthy. Yeah.
And so there was a big shit showabout how McDonald's fries were
so unhealthy. And so then they started, they
changed and and changed them andmade them in vegetable oil.

(27:33):
But that was like, their secret to having such good fries was
that they like, fried them in lard or something.
Wow. You know, it's funny, all these
years there have been documentaries, Probably most
famously there was the Super Size Me documentary and stuff.
All that you've ever heard from anyone on the news, all that

(27:57):
stuff is how horribly unhealthy McDonald's food is.
And yet if you go by a McDonald's, it is packed.
Like all you say, that's the worst one.
If you're going to go to fast food, do not go to McDonald's
because it's really bad. And and yet we have a
McDonald's, a couple, 2 McDonald's right near me.

(28:20):
And there's never a time when I go past that when it's not
totally crowded. Yeah.
I don't know. We got a bunch of people in this
country with a death wish. See that Bait doesn't have to do
anything. All they got to do is let them
act naturally. Yeah, all you got to do is act
naturally. Yeah.

(28:41):
I haven't had, well, I'm a vegetarian, so I haven't had
McDonald's in years and years and years.
I'll, I'll go to McDonald's. I get, all I get is the regular
hamburger, which is basically Pickles, mustard, ketchup,
little bit of onions on it. It's like the child's hamburger.
And then French fries and a Coke.

(29:03):
That's all I get from McDonald's.
OK. I remember when I did eat that
their quarter pounder eat meat that their quarter pounder was
kind of good. Yeah, yeah, I like the regular
hamburger, and I mean, there's nothing to it.
And then the French fry, I mean,I still get their French fries.
I like the French fries but it'snot as good as it used to be.

(29:27):
They always get it's it's been awhile but whenever they do the
surveys and stuff McDonald's always get best French fries.
Hi Amber. Amber's here.
Hey. Amber, how's it going?
Hold on a second. Let me put her on speaker.
OK, OK, go ahead. Say it, Mike.

(29:50):
Hey, Amber, what's up? Hi.
Mike, are you still nice or fromliving in New York City?
Did you become mean? What?
She's downstairs on the balcony taking the dog.
I mean, I'm on the balcony, I'm on the.
OK, she can't hear. You, But she heard you.
The all tellers. He, he, he said.
Are you still nice or did livingin New York change you?

(30:11):
No, I'm a total. She's a totally cool person now.
OK. Just checking because those New
Yorkers can be aggressive, you know?
Oh yes I've been using my legs for real.
Like I can walk far now. It's fast putting my long legs.

(30:33):
Hey, we should interview Amber or or maybe she could do a
segment where she talks about her adventures in New York City.
She's got a whole YouTube channel that she does that you.
Stole our whole audience, huh? Yeah, yeah, she said definitely.

(30:55):
So come on, live with us. Oh, OK, We could.
Yeah, she could tell us 'cause our our audience of the one
speed freak in the corner bashing his head against the
wall, haven't they? He hasn't heard any of Amber's
New York stories. Yeah, well, I mean, she does
want her updates that we drop onhere, but yeah, we don't talk to

(31:17):
her live. We should talk to her live more,
OK? Well, cool, welcome home.
I'm sure she's happy to be home for a break.
Yeah, it's good to. I picked her up on Friday, you
know, I was late, so she had to wait at the airport for about an
hour and then it was cool. So, you know, I turned my phone

(31:38):
off so Jen wouldn't see that I went to the airport.
She just thought I was turning my phone off so I could go get
her a birthday present, you know?
You know, she's like, oh, he's being stupid.
Like he's turning his phone off so I won't see where he gets my
present at, right? She had no idea I was picking
Amber up at the airport. So then I come home and you know

(32:01):
where we'd go? Down the hallway.
So then Ashley had come over Friday before we got there
because we wanted to be there when Amber got there.
And so then we got to the door and Amber rang the doorbell and
then Jen answered it and then Amber was banned in there.

(32:22):
That's great. Let's see.
Yeah. Oh, she was.
He was so surprised she. So Amber had been building up
this whole thing that Friday where she lived in New York.
She was going to do a game nightwith some friends.
So like Jen bought her a bunch of snacks and had them

(32:43):
doordashed to her and actually ordered a card game for her and
all this stuff like that becauseAmber was having this big game
night at her apartment, you know, and stuff like that.
And then Amber had like set up stage a bunch of different
scenes from the game night and shot photos of it.

(33:04):
And then as she was flying, as she was flying from New York
over here, the airplane had had Bluetooth and or not Bluetooth,
but Wi-Fi, so she could text. So at different times, she was
texting her over photos of the staged games that she was

(33:25):
playing and was texting, Yeah, we're having fun.
There's about six of us. We're playing Uno, you know, and
she text her a photo of her cards in her hand and stuff and,
and all that. So she was totally playing it
off that she was doing that. So then when Jen like opened the
door, it was funny. It was like the first thing Jen
said was so there's no game night because it was all an

(33:51):
elaborate trick. She had no idea, you know, And I
turned my phone off so she wouldn't see.
I went to the airport. She just thought I turned my
phone off so she wouldn't see what store I went and bought a
present at, you know? That's funny.
Kind of deal, but but yeah, so she was very happy and and
surprised and and all that kind of stuff.

(34:13):
So yeah, definitely Amber boughtthese tickets before she ever
moved to New York. Yeah.
So she's been fine there now andlike.
Home. I'm a New Yorker.
Yeah. Is she that way now?
Is she? No, no, she'll, she'll, she'll

(34:33):
never be that way. OK.
Yeah. So, yeah, it was like very
elaborate, elaborate hoax on Jen.
She had no idea so. And he did.
What a great birthday. Yeah, yeah, she was.
She's so happy. Cool dude.

(34:56):
So you got your daughter home, It's your wife's birthday.
You guys are going out to party and some she she place where you
can. When you leave the restaurant,
you'll be enticed to buy all kinds of stuff.
Yeah, luckily we live in an apartment, so we got nowhere to
put any of it. So that's.

(35:19):
Good though, that's that sounds like it'll that'll be a great
birthday for her. Yeah, yeah.
I mean, you know, we well, you, you, you know, when you, when
you get this age, right, it's not really about like presents
and you know, getting something unless it's food.
That's what we tell our wives. Yeah, unless it's food, right,

(35:40):
the food experience. But I mean, I, I don't, I'm not
that into like getting stuff, you know?
Yeah. I'm not that into that.
Maybe it's just me, I don't know, but my.
Brother canceled his birthday a number of years ago and he
doesn't want any more like family parties or anything like

(36:02):
that. And for his birthday, he usually
goes off to someplace by himselffor a few hours, you know, like
that anyway. But the whole thing of like,
have a birthday, get everyone together, have a party, exchange
presents. Like he literally cancelled it.
Like he's, he's like, I don't want that anymore.

(36:23):
Yeah. When the older you get, the more
you want to cancel your birthday.
For sure. It's true.
Like you know, Parma Hansu Yogananda from my one of my
gears from the self realization fellowship.
He actually said that you shouldn't tell people what your

(36:43):
age is because they're going to judge you and decide things
about you. One, one thing I've noticed in
this country, not to start off on a downer subject, is that
there there is ageism big time. And the only reason that I
realized that I was old was because people around me started

(37:06):
treating me like I was old and like I have like an inner.
We've talked about this before too.
I have kind of like an inner self-image of myself and it is
not what I see in the mirror every day.
So it, it, it took me a long time to even realize that I was
old. But but one of the things that

(37:26):
that helped me to realize that was how how society started
treating me, you know? When they started wiping the
drool off your chin, you realized you were old.
But I've. Discovered in this country and
and it's long been a problem in America is young people have no
regard for their elders at all in America, in in other

(37:48):
countries like Japan and Thailand and stuff like it's,
it's a part of their culture that you must that you respect
your elders and and you you takecare of them when they're old
too. And we just never got anything
like that in America. So we just, we just abuse our
elders here. Yeah, yeah, I think it.

(38:12):
Yeah, have you seen that too? Like, well, go ahead.
Oh, that's. All I just, I was, I was just
going to say that that kind of takes me in my mind what I was
thinking about like Step 4, which is, which is about giving,
you know, I think that the younger youth have a real

(38:36):
problem giving. They they, they all are won't do
anything unless they expect something in in exchange.
You know, back back when we grewup, you know, you opened the
door, you gave, you helped, you did all that stuff back when,

(38:57):
when giving was was defined. And then somehow we turned into
this greedy culture where which makes it not giving.
But you know, their definition of giving was, well, if I do
something, I want something in exchange, you know, so why would
I help that old person? What are they going to give me?
What are they going to do for me?
What are they going to pay me? Right.

(39:18):
And, and somewhere, somewhere we, we set up this society where
we don't truly give, where I'm only going to do it if I receive
something in exchange. And that's not, that's not the
definition of giving. And I, I, I think it's really
sad because you know, people, people say they are giving and

(39:43):
then they'll be like, oh, I volunteered just as much as
Billy, but, but Billy got awarded and I didn't get
anything, you know, and it's like, well, well, wait a minute.
It doesn't matter. You gave you, you said you were
giving it. You shouldn't be looking for an
award. You shouldn't be looking for

(40:03):
recognition. That's not.
That's an exchange of services. You know, I'll do this for you,
but you got to recognize me. That's not giving that that's
doing something with the expectation of something in
return. And that's not truly giving.
And I think that that's been a, a lost on, on, on the younger

(40:26):
generation, which is, which is sad because like, I'm not saying
I'm perfect or anything, but butI, I feel like I truly do give
because I don't want recognition, right?
I, it bugs me to get awards or like employ.
I mean, I'll take the money. I'll gladly you can throw some
money on my paycheck and we'll never talk about it.

(40:47):
And you can just put on their bonus, you know, and and I'll,
I'll take the money because I could use the money, but I would
never come and ask you for for money because I, I, I, I do
extra and I give extra. That's just how I am, right?
I that that's what I do. I'm I'm just as fine if I never

(41:09):
received employee of the month. Yeah, I don't want to go up
there. And be recognized in front of
everybody as employee of the month or, or or or whatever
because it, it makes me feel uncomfortable.
Yeah, you know, I don't, I don'tlike that.

(41:30):
I'm I'm giving and working because that's how I am.
I'm doing it. I'm doing it for myself.
I always want to my old partner and I used to have a saying you
can never, you know, we we, we would try and out give each
other. Yeah, right.
It would be like, no, today I'm going to I'm going to buy you

(41:52):
lunch. You know, we what whatever it
was, you know, we would always try and because you can't go
wrong with that. Giving to somebody right to out,
give to out, not, not, not not put down, but out out give in
the sense of just doing extra like, Hey, let me carry that for

(42:14):
you. Hey, let me help open the door
for you. Right.
We just tried to always out giveeach other in a way to put drive
us to be nicer and better people.
And somewhere in the younger generation, that kind of stuff
has got lost. And that's the reason I was
thinking about that was because of Jen, because that's just

(42:35):
that's what she does. I mean to to like the extreme.
She makes me look like a a greedy bastard in comparison to
to the way she is, you know, theway she does all that.
I mean, she's just the ultimate giver and, and sacrifice
without, you know, expecting something in return, you know,

(42:57):
and I think that that's, that's what people need to focus on,
you know, is, is, is giving because it does feel good.
And if and if you need recognition from the outside,
then you've got other issues. Yeah, You know what I mean?
You know, Daddy didn't do something right and, and

(43:18):
whatever, right. Or mommy or Uncle Billy or or,
or, or or whatever. But, I mean, I mean, think about
you and your son, right? I mean, you've given everything
and you're not, you're not doingit for it's not like you want an
award from your son at the end, right?
Yeah. You, you, you give him
everything. You give him all your time, you

(43:39):
give him everything. And you're not sitting back
going, well, I gave you all my time.
I expect you to, you know, whatever, you know, you're not
looking for anything in return because the joy of seeing him
happy and, and being with him and and going through all that
is enough. The smile on his face when he

(44:02):
laughs, when he interacts, you know, all that stuff.
That that's your payment. Yeah.
So sorry. I didn't mean to go off on a on
a on a ramble, but. But there's there's like AI
think is it? Is it The Who?
Maybe there's a Who song where he's singing his blood.

(44:24):
Oh yeah, yeah. He's like give bled but don't
expect to receive it. Yeah.
Yeah, that's the sentiment I think you're you're trying to
get across. There should be in people where,
I mean, it's actually been proven in psychological studies
and stuff that helping other people, giving things to other
people makes you feel better. And so I, I used to make like

(44:48):
selfish, like, like being so selfish and not helping people
because you know, if you, you know, if you did help people,
you'd, you'd feel better, which makes it selfish, like, oh,
well, I'm only going to help that person because it might
make me feel better. Psychological studies show that
helping other people actually makes you.
Yeah, it makes you feel better. And I, I feel like I've told

(45:11):
this story on the show before, so stop me if I have that.
There's the famous story of a guy who was seeing a
psychiatrist and, and he was completely suicidal.
And so the psychiatrist tried everything to help him and
nothing worked and, and he just wanted to die.
And so the psychiatrist said, why don't you go help people,

(45:34):
you know, like here in the soup kitchen or, or, you know, go,
why don't you volunteer your time and start helping people?
And that is what saved his life.And he didn't expect it to like,
how is OK, I'm, I'm about to dieand I'm going to help this old
lady. How is that going to help me?
You know? And, but the, the guy came back
to the psychiatrist and he said,Oh yeah, I helped this lady and

(45:56):
my God, I feel so much better. And it it, it cured, like it got
rid of all of his suicidal ideation because he just
switched gears and started becoming helpful with people and
that gave himself worth and and other.
And so, yeah, he overcame all ofhis suicidal ideations just
because he started helping people.
Yeah, yeah, You, you got to I, Ireally believe that I, I believe

(46:20):
that, that, that you have to give, you know, and, and when
you get now, the, The thing is, everybody's got to understand
that giving is not being mad because somebody doesn't say
thank you. It needs to be giving like

(46:40):
anonymously, right? It, it, it, it needs to be where
you give with the expectation ofhelping someone just for the
sake of helping them to truly give, you know, not, not.
Oh, well, you know, I'm going to, I'm going to, you know,

(47:02):
start a foundation and, and helpbattered women and then I, you
know, I'm going to get an award for it.
No, that's going into it for thewrong reason.
That is not going to satisfy you.
That's going to get you some fame and get you on the cover of
vanity or some bullshit. But but that's not what we're
talking about. Yeah.

(47:22):
You know, we're talking about truly giving of your time and
your, and your energy and, and stuff to, to do stuff for
others. Now, that doesn't mean you got
to volunteer all your free time at the animal shelter or
something like that. But you know, it's, you got to

(47:44):
find something and it can be bigor small or it can be something
at home. I mean, my best example for Mike
is, you know, he, he's, he's just all consumed with his son
and he, he spends every waking moment taking care of him and
giving. He's not getting recognition

(48:06):
from anybody. He's not getting credit for
anything. He's not doing it.
So he's not looking for an awardat the end.
He's not trying to win the Oscaror, you know, the Academy Award
for best Dad. You know, that's not what he's.
He's just doing it just out of pure love, just being with his
son of just. I just want my son to be happy.

(48:28):
Whatever. What if if my son wants me to
jump off a Cliff, man, I'm jumping off a Cliff, you know?
Yeah. And, you know, so it's it's that
kind of selfless giving that that people have to get back to
versus. And you see it all the time when
people get angry because they didn't get something, you know?

(48:52):
Well, I didn't get recognized. And I've I made all the costumes
for the play. Yeah.
You know, you know, I gave my own free time and it's like you
didn't get it because you put a price tag on it.
You put an expectation on it that you're going to receive
something in exchange. So you didn't give.

(49:13):
That is not giving. That's selling a commodity.
You sold your time for a fee andyour fee was being listed first
in the student program or, or, or whatever, right?
Whatever it was. And and that's not giving.

(49:34):
Yeah, it's, that's an exchange of services.
And that's, and that's what people need to recognize.
They need to take their names. You know, when when you and you
see it, sometimes there's some people out there, there's some
good people out there that do it.
They'll you'll see a bench in a park somewhere and it'll say

(49:54):
donated by anonymous, right? Yeah, yeah.
So they're, they're giving someone a place to sit.
They didn't need the recognition.
They just know they did something good for somebody.
Maybe they did it, you know, because that was their husband's
favorite spot, you know, to takea walk and sit down or, or
whatever. So they're not doing it to get

(50:18):
recognized on the news, you know, or that sort of thing.
So that's just my, my take on the give.
And I just think that I don't know, for some reason that that
just reminds me of how Jen is, you know, she does so much for
other people, you know, just just really has a heart for
giving. And I, and I, I think that if,

(50:39):
if people did that more, if they, if they just took that
attitude of I don't need anything in exchange, you know,
I don't, I don't need, need thatrecognition or, or, or a ward.
I just wanted to do this for you.
That's my reward. See you smile, you know, and

(51:00):
that's, you know, that's one of the things like Jen will do is,
is like, we'll be at a restaurant, especially if she
sees an, an elderly person, although elderly more than us,
you know, like she'll see them like at a table.
Maybe they're by themselves and and she'll tell the waitress,

(51:20):
hey, we'll pay their bill, but don't tell them that's you know,
yeah, and and so we'll pay theirbill, but you know, we'll she'll
tell them not to pay them. And then we could just sit back
and watch them feel the joy without without getting
recognized for it. You get to see the joy that that

(51:43):
your gift of giving gave that person.
Yeah. You know, that's way different
than, hey, I'm going to buy thatperson's meal and then I want
you to go on social media, take a photo of it and take me in the
and then I'm going to post that photo about how I bought this
person their their dinner. To one of our idols to add on to

(52:06):
what you're saying. No, no, Complete your thoughts
though. I'm sorry, I thought you.
Were no, no, no. I I think that that kind of, you
know, now I'm just beating a dead horse.
I think I got my point across. I hope I did.
You did No that. Yeah, it makes sense.
It made me think of this thing that has driven me crazy for
years, though. You know, there's so many

(52:28):
documentaries on John Lennon. I think they had one even fairly
recently produced by Julian Lennon and stuff.
So it's not really like fresh, but no, there maybe you thought
when we were coming up like around high school time, so this
is like late 80s, early 90s or something.

(52:49):
There was a documentary on, on John Lennon that came out and of
course they were saying this is the definitive, you know, John
Lennon documentary and all that stuff.
And there's this, there's this sequence in the documentary
where John Lennon, he had multiple, I think he had, well,
he had multiple estates. And so they, he and Yoko were at

(53:11):
one of their estates. I think it was called
Kitchenhurst or something like that.
Anyway, I'm harmless man startedliving in like showing up at the
estate and, and he started like living in their garden and yeah.
And, and so John Lennon went down and invited the homeless

(53:36):
man to come into his house and was like, really nice to him and
gave him coffee and gave him breakfast and then, you know,
sent him on his way. And, and so that was for
recognition. Though as much as I appreciate a
lot of what John Lennon did, thereality is John Lennon was like,
oh, there's a homeless man down in the garden.

(53:56):
Hey, call the cameraman. I want to look good for the
public. And then they went down there
and, you know, so, yeah. Why is why is John running
cameras? Well, he helps a homeless man
because he wants recognition. And so that that bothered me.
But the other thing that bothered me was that John and

(54:17):
The Beatles, they went to India,right?
And they, they spent time with Maharishi and they were like,
Hey, we're all, guess what? There's like meditation and,
and, and yoga and, you know, spiritual physics.
And you guys should try this out.
And you know that that was like a, a, a great thing that they
did. But because so John and Paul and

(54:39):
everybody in The Beatles, like they knew about spiritual
physics and it and, and yogis and monks and, and Hinduism and
Buddhism and all that stuff, they knew all about that.
So if you start studying spiritual physics and yogis and
monks and stuff, some of the first stuff you're going to be
learning is that everybody in the world is psychic.

(55:02):
And the government has tricked us into believing that we are
not psychic because the government's job is to endlessly
attempt to disempower us and keep us fighting with each
other. So if you're a Yogi and someone
says, I feel I know you and, andI think there's some connection

(55:25):
between us and, you know, I havethis image in my mind of you and
stuff like that. If, if you're talking to like a
Yogi or a monk, they'll be like,Oh yeah, OK, you know, but, but,
but if you're, if you're, if you're talking to like a Western
psychiatrist whose job it is to tell you there are no psychic

(55:45):
powers and there is no spiritualphysics.
And your only chance is to like go to the church and just pray
in front of that statue of Jesus.
Instead of, oh, you could try yoga and you could try
meditation and these breathing techniques.
And like, it's, it's a 10,000 year old science of spiritual
physics that they have developedin, in India way.

(56:07):
It's it's been around way longerthan than most of the religions
that people fall into and stuff.But so John Lennon knew that it
is possible for a person to readyour mind or to feel a
connectedness to you. It could have to do with
reincarnation, but we are all the same being.

(56:28):
We're all a morphic field of infinite potential.
So it's an illusion that there is separation between US.
And so since we're all the same being and there is no separation
between US, don't you think there's a real possibility that
we can read each other's minds if we, you know, pay attention
to it? But So what?
So John Lennon knew that like, if I if I went up to a person

(56:50):
and and I was like, you know, I sense to you and I sort of have
like a, a vision of you. And now here you are, you're
like, what do you think that means a Yogi would be like?
Well, let's explore that, you know, but John Lennon goes out
in the garden with his cameras so that the public can know that
he's a super nice guy helping a homeless man.

(57:10):
And, and when the homeless and the homeless master is telling
him that stuff, he's like, I sense, you know, that I I feel
like maybe we have known each other before.
And, and like your songs, I feltlike there were like messages
and things. And and John Lennon, who who
went to Maharishi and spent timein India and knows a lot better,

(57:33):
is like, oh, well, how could that happen?
Yeah, I'm sorry. You know, you're just actually
the, the what he tells the guys,you're just tripping off on some
trip. But that has bothered me for
years. Because the truth is, John
Lennon could have said, oh, well, yeah, we're all

(57:53):
interconnected. There's no space or distance or
separation between US. And we all have psychic powers.
But the government has discouraged us from paying
attention to them. And the way that they work is
the more you pay attention to them, the more they work.
So yeah, we're in that. We're in that crap.
It's like the architects of society who are insane and the

(58:17):
trap in America is make sure they never discover true
spirituality. But so, yeah, that's all.
Do you see what I mean though? Like, first there's a guy in the
garden John Lennon runs out there with camera.
You know, it. It would be like Jen was like,
OK, I'm going to buy those guys dinner at the next table.
But first I want the cameras to come over.

(58:37):
And. Yeah.
Film this? Yeah, film doing this.
That was not just like a good deed that was like that was, you
know, to show it to the public and, and, and get recognition
and all that. To get that.
So you're actually taking and you're, you're actually taking
from your giving. You're not giving.
You're, you're actually taking from that person.

(58:58):
Yeah, Joy, you're you're stiphoning their joy.
Yeah, exactly. So, yeah, that always bothered
me. John Lennon ran out with
cameras, pretended that will sort of help this guy in one
way, but could have answered a lot of his questions if he, if
he, you know, incorporated his knowledge of spiritual physics

(59:19):
learned from Maharishi in India.You know, I think I, I think at
that point though, because it was another government plot.
I think at that point they didn't want him to continue to
talk about Maharishi. I I think they wanted to like
take a little dip, have The Beatles go down there, help

(59:39):
create the hippies with that, but then to to let it go quickly
before people started doing it and realizing it, that it was
their salvation. So at that point in John's
career, I do not think that he was allowed to like, talk about
that stuff anymore. I don't know, though.
That's just the theory. But he was the tool of the deep

(01:00:01):
state and he worked for the man.And even though he rebelled and
and got killed for it, he did a lot of damage working for the
man. So anyway, too long on that
story, but that, yeah, that's, it's just what you're saying
that you should give. I'd expect to receive.
And and yeah, if we actually, I,I, I'm sorry.

(01:00:24):
I got to stop. You got to get in here quick
before I keep talking, But I, I,I saw a documentary last, or I
was watching an interview with one of my favorite authors, Jack
Kerouac, last night. And, oh, never mind.
I forgot my point. Let's get you back into this.
I'm talking too much. No, it's, you're all, you're all

(01:00:47):
good. I mean, I talked the 1st 30
minutes, but no, it's just, I wish that people would, you
know, I, I just don't know what happened.
Something happened because when you and I grew up, right?
I mean, I'll be honest, right? If, if you had that expectation
of getting something back, what you got back was the backhand,

(01:01:08):
right? You'd you'd you'd get physically
whacked. Yeah.
You know, if you're like, well, I put the lawn now I want
something and they're like, there you go, you got payment
received. You know, I mean, it's just,
it's just a, a different cultureand, and, and it's really sad.

(01:01:32):
I just think that, you know, on our as far as our steps of, of
having a better life and being abetter person, you know this
Step 4, you gotta give, but but you gotta it's not everybody's.
Oh, that's easy. No, it's not to give and truly
not want anything in return. Yeah.

(01:01:57):
Is not easy. Yeah, it's, it's it's not, you
know, it's it's easy to give andthen say, oh, yeah, you know
what? I'll come over and I'll, I'll,
you know, help you fix your car,Mike.
And then, you know, why don't you go ahead and barbecue and

(01:02:17):
buy beers? And by the time you've done all
that, it costs you more for the barbecue and the beer than it
would have. Just take the car to the shop
and get the thing fixed. Yeah.
You know. So, but then we'd have no
barbecue and beer. There's a there's a critical
error in that planet. But my, that's my point, right?

(01:02:39):
Where as out man, I'll, I'll come over and get it fixed, you
know, and, and you know, like we, we, we, we get it fixed and
we're like, all right, brother, have a good evening.
I'll talk to you later and you leave and that's good, right?
And then I can leave out of there with my joy of, Hey, man,
I just, I just helped a brother,you know, and not that the
barbecue and beer. I mean, if that's what the plan

(01:03:00):
is, that's that's probably a badexample, but I'm just trying to
get the point across that it shouldn't matter.
Yeah. Right.
It, it shouldn't matter. You're just, you're just helping
someone because you can, not because you need to, not because
you need to grow your social media, you know, or any of that

(01:03:21):
kind of stuff. I, I, I think there's different
givings. Well, it's not even giving if
you if you're doing something inexchange.
Yeah, random acts of kindness, right?
Yeah, yeah, there you go. That's that.
You know what? That's probably a better one
than giving, I think. I think scratch the number 4 is

(01:03:43):
giving. I think #4 should be random acts
of kindness. Oh, OK, yeah, absolutely.
You know, it's really OK. So first of all, we've talked
about the first. I was kind of trying to avoid
it. But the reality is, and people
need to know this and overcome this, even if you're a victim of
it. But the reality is that the evil
government decided to dumb down an entire generation, and that

(01:04:07):
is the millennials. So when you went to college, you
learned Jack shit, and when you went to regular school, you
learned Jack shit. And how to blame the generation
before them for everything that's now their responsibility.
And so and then they got handed iPhone and it's study showed
that the iPhone carrying it around, looking at it all the

(01:04:28):
time like everybody does, it destroys your conscience.
So now you hate a whole generation and you have no
conscience and you're stupid because they didn't really teach
you anything. The college they I went to
college, I went to the real college.
And after that, we're the millennials and it's all been
exposed. They dumbed down college, they

(01:04:51):
lowered their standards and theyall that they teach now is hate
white people and be sure to blame the generation before you.
And the reason that they want them to blame the generation
before them is because they don't want us to team up.
Like if, if the millennials hooked up with the other
generation and all the generations and we were like,
hey, did you notice the government just constantly fucks

(01:05:12):
us over, Then the government is in a lot of trouble.
But if they can keep us fightingwith each other, like, hey,
millennials, you shouldn't listen to your elders.
They're stupid and it's their fault that your life sucks.
Then they fight and nobody comestogether and the government
laughs and exploits us and killsus and takes all of our money
from us. And that's the end of that.

(01:05:34):
So like you're like, where, where is the spirit of giving?
I'm like, they, they actually socially engineered that out of
the millennials and handed them iPhones to destroy their
consciences. So if there was a little moment
where it was like, oh, wait, maybe you should help that old
lady go across the street. It's gone now because they're

(01:05:56):
holding an iPhone that doesn't allow them.
It turns them into. Sociopaths.
Yeah. Well, yeah, I think that I think
you see the, the, the distraction, I, I think you
might have hit that on the head where it's, it's like if they
don't, if they're not looking upand seeing what's going on
around them, they don't see the old lady needing help because

(01:06:16):
they're staring at their phone. Yeah, that's it, right.
So, so they don't even notice it.
They don't even see it. They're they're all consumed
into this tunnel vision. Yeah.
You know, it's, it's, it's definitely a challenge.
Yeah, it, it definitely is. You know, I, I like a lot of

(01:06:38):
people like they'll put their they'll they'll gather all the
phones and put them somewhere like when like when they eat and
stuff like that. Yeah.
So. Well, even even I this is
everywhere, dude. We really, so it's weird like we
have this tremendous capacity tolearn about terrible things that

(01:06:59):
are going on in this country andthen we just don't do anything
about it. And I, I think there's some kind
of mind control going on with that.
But look, the studies are out. If you have an iPhone, it is
destroying your conscience and so you don't care about people
anymore at all. What what else does the iPhone
do? Damn it, I just lost it.

(01:07:19):
I'm getting my my brain fog. It causes cancer to have your
iPhone with you. It, it but no, but the, the main
thing is, Oh yeah, it the iPhoneagitates you.
And so this is one of those things I used to run to my
brother and my family and tell them that and they'd be like,

(01:07:40):
oh, you're crazy. That's not true.
You must be, you know, whatever,a conspiracy that or something.
And now my brother is telling me, yeah, if you, if, if, if the
kids have their iPhones, they'reall agitated and they're
fighting with each other and they're upset.
And if you take the iPhones away, then they mellow out and
become normal kids. And so even my brother has

(01:08:03):
noticed this and there have beenstudies on it as well.
These smartphones are pissing usoff and making us want to kill
people. And now we have no conscience.
So there's no problem doing thatis actually what's going on too.
So, but it is technology being used against us.
The government wants us divided and conquered.

(01:08:23):
They want us fighting with each other over everything so that we
don't look back at the government and say, wait a
minute, you're a devil worship, a pedophile child killer, aren't
you? Yeah.
And, and the phones are, are helping them to do that.
And I, I do think there's some kind of mind control in this
country because how can you go from like, oh, well, there's

(01:08:48):
350,000 missing children that the Biden administration allowed
to be kidnapped. They're in sex slavery now.
They're being used for slave labor, they're being raped,
they're being sacrificed to the devil.
Like, Oh my God, these kids and we hear this stuff and then
like, you know, a couple of minutes later you're like, well,

(01:09:10):
what's on TV? Like we, you know, there and,
and it's like, what, what leads you to do that?
You just heard kids, you're being raped and murdered and
trafficked and exploited and it's your own damn government
and a lot of the world government's doing it.
So how come there's like suddenly a disconnect though,
where you can be aware of a horrendous problem and then just

(01:09:33):
turn on the TV and watch a movieand, and you forget about it?
Distraction. Well, I, I know it's
distraction. I know it's us doing that
ourselves, but I I suspect theremay be more involved, like some
kind of mind control like cell towers. 5 GI don't know

(01:09:53):
something because I I'm even stunned at myself like I will
get all upset and go my God, there are children kidnapped
children in this country being raped and being and and being
trafficked and being sacrificed to demons and the devil like Oh
my God. Oh shit.
Look, it's that John Lennon. Documentary.

(01:10:13):
Yeah. This is the one that really
makes me mad, though, because hetries to act like he's a nice
guy with the homeless man. And it's like, what?
How did you one minute ago you were thoroughly, you know, upset
about the reality that kids are being hurt on an industrial
scale, you know, And then the next second you're just like,
turn on the TV. Oh, I haven't seen this episode,

(01:10:35):
you know. Yeah.
There could be some mind controlthat that lets Americans do
that. Yeah, I, I, you know, I don't
know. I, I do not know the answer to
that. You know, I see, I choose to
look at life a little bit different, right?
I, I, you know, maybe this is anexcuse, maybe not, right?

(01:10:56):
But we, you know, we've been going over these steps, right?
And if you look at them like it's, it's like every by
yourself, you're not going to gosay 350,000 kids, right?
You know, it takes out, what do they say?
It takes a, a tribe to, to raisea kid, right?
It, it takes a yeah, it takes it, right.
So all these problems. So it takes, it's kind of like a

(01:11:19):
virus, right? You, you, you don't have to
spread it one cell at a time, but each cell has to do its
part. So if each person is a cell and
together we did this stuff, thatstuff would be fixed.
Yeah, right. And and so that's kind of what

(01:11:40):
we were talking about with these, with these steps, right?
We started out with #1 was like be nice, right?
And then number 2 was feel better and #3 was laugh more.
And now we're talking about #4 which is random acts of
kindness. And and if The thing is, we're
talking about this and if everybody started doing these

(01:12:05):
four things, just each individual person just in their
own little bubble. Yeah, now we're not going to do
it, but you guys have to cause the world's going to be a lot
nicer for us if you guys are being.
Cool. So yeah.
We just, we implemented the plan, but we're not going to
live by it ourselves. Two Men with a Mic is recorded

(01:12:38):

number Two Men with the [e-mail].
Dad let me out of the air. Bobbys, the Hangers live
Rock'n'roll Memories drive when we go wild and high high school

(01:13:01):
days were tough but all we had enough blasting tunes.
Rock was roughly dance. We laughed, we laughed.
Tell the stories laid up right underneath your city lives.
Rock ruled our every night memories echo echoes up the

(01:13:23):
fight. The stage was our domain, the
teenage hurricane. No glory without the pain.
But we did all again. Then posters on the wall dreamed

(01:13:44):
some light. They stood tall, same stands on
sunshine and tall. We were kings before the fall
comes. Always lit upright underneath
your city lives rock rolled out every night.
Memories echo, echoes are goodbye.

(01:14:23):
The stage was our domain, teenage hurricane, No glory
without the pain. But we did it all again.
And posters on the wall dreamed so light they stood tall.
Fame spanned sunset and tall. We were kings before the fall,

(01:14:46):
Telling stories lit upright underneath your city lights.
Rock ruled our every night.
