our Patreon. Remember, if you want to be the first
person to see a video when it becomes available to
the public, Patreon is your way to go. So I
don't know, as I always like to say, I'm not
sure if the Patreon is connected to the Electronic business

(04:18):

you want the link to the patreon for Aaron's opinion,

be a free member. But once you are a free member,

(04:39):
you'll see anything that we post there on Patreon and
also too, if you really feel generous and if you
truly can, five dollars a month is all you would
need to be, you know, the absolute minimum minimum donation
would be five dollars a month to join the lowest
tier on that Patreon. So that's that's actually really cool anyway,
And don't forget about following following along on and on

(05:00):
YouTube at Aaron's Opinion TV. Don't forget when we released
the videos on YouTube, and we when we premiere the
video on YouTube, that's exactly when it's available for you
to download, you know, on your podcast player of choice.
So that's very important. Don't forget to like the video
and comment below and all of that. Okay, all right, well,
now I think it's time for us to talk about

(05:21):
today's guest. This is someone who similar to tammerzaiat This
is somebody today who has been a great friend of
the show for many years. And his name, as I
alluded to earlier today, his name is of course Rob
Gastro Giovanni and he will of course be singing his
world famous my favorite pair of transit. He'll definitely include

(05:43):
that today because if Rob shows up at the house,
he asked to sing par of Transit. That's one of
the rules. But mainly Rob reached out to me today
or whenever you're listening, Rob reached out and he said
that he had a you know, a change dot org
petition and that he's really trying to improve his life. Now,
this is somebody, as you know from past episodes with Rob,

(06:04):
this is somebody who has had a life of many
challenges to which he does the very best he can
to overcome. And I think that today we're gonna mostly
be talking about how to improve our lives in little,
small ways. And I think that that this is a
really important and a very subtle thing that is forgotten about.

(06:24):
Whether you're blind or not. I think a lot of
people forget about the importance of making small improvements in life.
And that's really why I wanted to have Rob on again.
He's a very kind friend of the show, and he's
one of one of our many one of our many supporters.
He's one of our many supporters across the border, and

(06:47):
we have many, many downloads from Canada. But Rob has
always been a great friend, a great buddy, a great
friend of the show, and a great friend to anyone
who's willing to listen and willing to be kind and
willing to care. And I think that's, you know, a
lot of what Rob is about today. So Rob is
going to mostly talk about his you know, his controlling
his emotions and getting his emotions in check and improving

(07:09):
the things in his life that he knows he needs
to improve. And you know what, I think that's great.
I think that Rob, as I said, and I didn't
hesitate it all to tell him that I think he
has a lot of work ahead of him, but I
also recognize that he's made significant improvements in his life.
So I think that's really important, you know, for us
to recognize the improvements that people make. So I think
it's time for us to have another beautiful conversation here

(07:30):
on Aaron's Opinion and let's go talk to brob Castro
Giovanni from Canada. And of course don't forget about singing
along with Paratransit and all of that. So of course
you're listening to the Aeron's Opinion podcast. My name is
Aaron Richmond, and now we need a great title for
this episode, which, of course today's episode is called The
Road of Improvement with Rob Castro Giovanni. Welcome or welcome back,

(07:56):
everybody to another exciting episode of Aaron's Opinion, the podcast
for blind people where we speak about critical issues in
the blindness community and all other issues from across the
universe and galaxy. My name is Sarah Richmond. Today, this morning,
this afternoon, or this evening, we are joined by somebody
who has made many appearances on the podcast. His certainly

(08:17):
a repeat offender, someone who we haven't heard from in
a while, but he kind of came up to me
at some point and he said, and his name is
Rob Castro Giovanni, as we know him, and he's been
saying that there's been, you know, a lot's been going
on and he kind of needs to get some stuff
off his chest and talk about what's going on. And
he has a petition on change dot org. I believe

(08:38):
that needs needs some attention. So rob By, don't you
kind of walk through what's been happening and you know,
kind of your you know, some of the things that
are happening to you right now, and what's what's the
life update?

Speaker 4 (08:50):
Man?

Speaker 1 (08:50):
So I'll mute my microphone and you can kind of
take it from here.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Awesome. Thank you again, Aaron for for agreeing to have me.
I really appreciate that. I know it's been a long
time and it's been about four years to the exact.
I was listening to previous podcasts of me, you know,

(09:15):
I was listening and I yeah, it's been four years
and I have to be exact, and I'm really happy
to be back on the podcast explaining well, I just
you know, to any of you former listeners are not
former listeners, but listeners who have been a who are

(09:39):
are listening to that I you know about my story.
But and for anybody of you knew listeners, my name
is Rob Caster Jovanni. As Aaron said, I've been having
a little problem, a lot of problems recently because lately
since COVID really but for where I speak my mind

(10:02):
and I I'm not very well liked by the music
community and London. I'm a musician. I'm a guitar player.
For those who are just tuning in new friends of
the podcast, I'm a guitar player and well guitar, keyboards
and piano and harmonica and basically I'm a musician, but yeah,

(10:27):
I want to bring to you to your attention. Yes,
I do have a petition that's unchanged dot org. It's
called Stop the Harassment and Bullying of Me Rob Castro Giovanni.
I've also created a Facebook page. Unfortunately I need to
do some work on that. It's not really uh published yet,

(10:50):
and but it's not you know, I and now Facebook,
and you know, everything's changing. I'm not gonna you know,
I can discuss my feelings on that at another time,
that the technology and everything changing. But you know what

(11:14):
I feel like, for years, I've been bullied in the
one in the music community, by bars, by pop popularity,
by propaganda in the community. And I feel like I've
talked about this before for those of you who have
listened to me before, and uh listen to my tirades
if you will, my rants. I'm a bigger answer as

(11:38):
you can see. And I'm no stranger to this podcast.
In fact, I do. When I was when I was
asked come on today, I jumped on board with it.
I figured anyone not you know, I, I was free
and I was willing to help them help a friend

(12:00):
I would who needed my help, and I was very
happy to do that. So basically, this petition is to
to because this has been an issue for me for
years in the blind A lot of people they they
don't see my problem. They just say, oh, you're bullied.

(12:21):
Your your issue is not a blind issue. You're bullied
because you speak your mind. Someone actually told me that, like,
you know, basically, that I deserved it. Basically, maybe she
didn't mean it, but that's what I got from it,
and that's what basically, you know, it's not always that's

(12:44):
what basically like you know, it's not about what people
it's how you feel at the time when you started.
And now maybe it's not a blind issue me, but
I believe it is because I feel like I being
discriminated against her speaking my mind about issues that I
have in a blind community, in the music community, and

(13:06):
I hear a lot of people that constantly belittle me
for my opinions. And and it's not just in London,
I do know, it's all over the world. Like I
hear a lot of I listen to a lot of
YouTube videos where people are commenting and mean comments about
the I I choose not to do that. I mean,

(13:28):
I am I try to stay away from it. If
I don't like a video on YouTube, I won't criticize anybody,
because I know what it's like to be criticized. If
I like, I'll comment if I like a video, But
if I don't like a video, you know, I won't come.
And now that's not say you know, because there are
videos I have likes that I never commented on, so

(13:53):
you know, so it's not you know, So don't think
if I don't comment any video that I don't like it,
I I'm not going to criticize you if I don't
like your video. If I feel like, you know, if
I could help in a matter of if I could
say what you you know, need to, if I could
like help you in any way, I will, But I'm

(14:15):
not going to criticize you. Like I feel like a
lot of people you know, are criticized for what they do.
And IVE seen this in myself too, and then I'm
trying to I'm trying to change that because I know
what it's like to be ridiculed. I know what it's
like to be belittled and bullied, and I I just

(14:38):
and find may I recently said, you know, somebody and
listener you could love that you could be really mad
at me, you could blame me for this. I really
don't care, but I just want you to know that
it was dumb, and I really I'm ashamed of it. Basically,

(15:05):
I found out that. I mean that a person that
bullied me in the past has cancer. I found out by,
as they say, listening through a keyhole, because I do
have the habit of creeping people who have bullied me.
And I have not made it a secret that I

(15:31):
that it was karma and I was, and I even
said that I was. I was. I was happy about it,
and that because you know, and people have told me
I crossed the line. People have told me this people.
I want to make one thing clear. I don't wish

(15:52):
cancer on anyone. I cancer is a is A is
a bitch. It's I have cancer in my family. I
do not. And I know I'm not helping my case,
but I do not. I'm not saying what I did
was right, and I'm not making excuses for what I did.

(16:16):
I was mad, and I'm a guy who you know, listener,
I'm a guy who shoots first and asks questions later.
I I'm I'm reactive when I should be proactive. And
I make no excuse for myself. I make no I

(16:36):
make no oh feel sorry for me because I'm disabled.
I make none, none of that. I know a lot
of people think I do. But before you judge, yes,
I know what was wrong. Yes, I crossed the line.
You know, no one should. I was kicked out of

(16:57):
a karaoke And what did I do? I shot first
and asked questions later. I should have said, you know,
I understand, but I didn't. I went. I harassed him.
I said how much of an asshole he was for
doing this to me? And we went and there all

(17:20):
this back and forth and all that stuff, and and
he told, you know, I made a couple I used.
I couldn't appeal to him, so I tried to use
at another account that I made just it wasn't meant
to harass anyone, but I made this account so that

(17:42):
I can, you know, I mean, you have I could do.
I could do something that I wanted to do in
myself for myself in secret, like you know, do not
anything bat or anything, but just like be a blogger
or go under and assume name, you know, as a
blogger or somebody that I wanted to do. And I

(18:05):
appealed to him. I said, you know, I know Rob,
Rob who knows who he was wrong? And oh, but
this guy didn't buy He was like, oh, just because
you have problems and your life doesn't give you an excuse.
And you know what, it doesn't give you an excuse.
I'm not saying that. But what I'm saying is I
get angry. I use my words as a weapon, and

(18:28):
I'm sure a lot of you do.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
And you know.

Speaker 4 (18:31):
Words are and you know it's like the old song,
words are weapons, and I use my words as a weapon.
This girl has believed me, this musician has believed me.
And but no, I am not I'm saying that. But

(18:56):
if this uh person a he I don't think he's
not on my list anymore, so he probably wouldn't get
it when I share it. But I am, you know,
Swarry of how it went, I could have handled myself better.
You when he kicked me out, it really hurt, and

(19:17):
I lashed out like I always do. But I am
not making this as an excuse. But basically, this petition
is about all my years of bullying in the community
that I felt that bars and and I was rocking
on X well not grocking. I went to a grock

(19:38):
it's an AI action for those we don't know. AI
has become really uh popular in this UH day and age.
And there's a feature on X called rock and I
rocked Why I posted in it. You know, it's really
amazing what you what you find when you press rock actions.

(20:00):
And because I'm new to this X and I'm finding
a lot of brand new stuff that I am amazed by,
and one of them is the rock actions. Now it's
and it gave me. It took me to an AI
article and I didn't know and I still I don't
know how much of this is true. That there was
a journal in this in the Study of Psychology, a

(20:22):
journal Psychology in twenty twenty two that suggests that people's
disabilities are discriminated again against there I'll share this in
the show notes all No, I'll share with Aaron He.
I'll share the rock article. I'll share anything that I

(20:42):
want to share. I'll share the petition. I'll share my
stuff with you. I'll share because you know I'm open.
So if you want to discuss anything with me, you know,
if you want to ask, if you want to know
about my petition, if you want to sign it. I
already got eighteen eighteen signature, but that's not enough. Eighteen

(21:04):
is great because it's more than I thought I would get.
I mean, so, hey, I'm always excited. I should mention
that I'm I'm kind of up in the air because
I had three cups of coffee today and uh yeah,
I'm a little uh So, I hope I don't come

(21:26):
out seeing uh like if I seem all hyped up.
You know, I was all, like I said, when Aaron
asked me to do this, I was really excited. I
mean because to me, it's not only because I wanted
to do this, but I truly believe one hand washing together,
and I'm when he needed my help, you know. Unfortunately

(21:52):
there was cancelations and and I believe, I firmly believe
in helping uh a brother as the saying goes, when
hand washes together, as the other saying goes, and I
and you know what, that's what people do. And I
was available. I was free, so I thought, what the hell,
you know, I I'll do it. You know, he's in

(22:14):
a pinch. I'm able to, you know, help, so why not,
you know, and I and I want to thank you
I want to thank him again because this podcast, like
I don't listen as much as I should, but I
do it is I I did listen. I do listen.

(22:34):
I started listening again to the few guests that I
because he is. It's very informative those who are just
tuning in for the first time. If you are tuning
in for the first time, it's you should if you
try this podcast, you should subscribe to wherever you get
your podcasts and YouTube. Unfortunately, Apple is is a little

(23:01):
stringent now with explicit content. I have to create an
Apple account if I want to listen to his podcast
on Apple. I'm not available to listen to any explicit
podcasts anymore. I sign up. I tried to do because Apple,
you well, my go to easty stitcher. Stitcher was my
favorite podcast choice, and then then the bombed, and then

(23:23):
Apple started being my podcast to choice. And I just
I'm a guy who if I find something that's easy
for me, I will golom onto it. Look, that doesn't
mean I don't do listen to Spotify. I'm on I
downloaded it. I can listen to the podcast on Spotify.
I don't think anything is taboo on Spotify and I

(23:47):
love Spotify and now there's share with friends. There's a lot.
I connected my Spotify to Discord and Facebook and I
am on Discord. I will, I will. I do have
a community on Discord and I am out there. And
though basically I need to, you know, I wanted to also,

(24:11):
this is a way that I can say thank you
because this is like when he asked me to do this.
I'll just I've been, I've had. It feels like, you know,
because this is my first podcast, So it feels like,
you know, coming back home, if you will, on a
four year hiatus, if you want to call that, because

(24:32):
it's been a while since I I've been. But I
look back on my time at Aaron's Opinion and doing
my podcast and I and I I will crack a smile,
you know, because this is you know. And he introduced
me his podcast, introduced me to another podcast I did

(24:57):
called unfortunately it's not available anymore. It's called it was
called Life after the Mountain. I don't know that's you know,
if the obsolete podcasts are okay, because I can't find
it anywhere and anymore. I don't know what happened to
the people, but they're nice enough to let me on

(25:20):
the podcast, and it was due to air. And I
owe Aaron that because of the warm air, I wouldn't
have been on that podcast I've been on. I've been
on a few podcasts, but this is the one that
you know, I've been on the most. And I really

(25:41):
appreciate Aaron for not only doing this podcast, but for
lending giving people a voice, giving people an outlet. And
I do believe if you want, if you do want to,
I encourage you to reach out, if you feel like
you have an you want some thing to get out
of your chest, because this podcast for me has been

(26:05):
a great outlet I have. You know what I feel like.
I've been talking and talking and talking and talking, and
I don't know if Aaron you want to have anything
you'd like to add at this time or but this
is your this is your show, and I feel like

(26:26):
I'm I'm feel like I'm hijacking it. So if any
time you want to add something, just you know on
yourself for well you can't anyway, it's your's your show, and.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Well sure sure you know, Rob, I got to tell you, man.
I just want to say thank you for all of
your kindness and all of your kind words. You know,
one thing that I would say to you is that
with every episode we put together here at Aaron's opinion, right,
there's there's always things whoop's my mistake, There's see that happens,

(27:03):
I actually muting myself halfway through my sentence. There's always
things we can learn right during during a conversation, during
a podcast episode, right, And for you, I think what
listeners will learn from you is that it's important to
have self control. And we've talked about it before and
and you're someone that really does struggle with that man
and I do too, and we all do. But the

(27:24):
point is this, you know, you really need to to
get some self control, right. You know, if you want
me to sign your if you want a signature, and
if you want my audience to sign a petition, we're
going to say, well, Rob, we'll give you a signature.
We'll definitely share the petition. But on the on the
other hand, or the the you know, the the caveat

(27:47):
here is that you would have to then be willing
to make some some substantial improvements in you know, as
we all do, right, taking baby steps in the right direction. Right,
So you're going to work on not not losing your
temper with people. And I've had to do it too,
I'm not I'm not exaggerating. It's very hard not to
lose your temper. It's incredibly hard not to, which is

(28:10):
why it's an incredibly big problem for so many people.
It's easier to lose your temper than not lose your temper.
So that's why you lose your temper, because it's easier
to lose your temper. But you have to think, you know,
in my case, I have other things to think about
the other thing you have to think about intellectually is
you know, how do you want to represent yourself in public?
You know, you can go home and we do it.

(28:32):
I do it, all of our listeners do it. Everybody
does it. You can go home and cry and throw
your shoe across the room and and you know, scream ubscenities.
You know, oh, you know, fuck my life, fuck the world.
You know, you can do that as much as you want,
but not when you're in public. You know, when you're
in public, the public doesn't deserve to see that. So

(28:52):
my my point, my point to you man, is yeah,
I'll help you a little bit, but you need to
help yourself a lot more. That's that's why my pretty
direct point, man, like, yeah, we're gonna help you. We're
going to sign the petition, but then, but then you
need to promise me that you're going to start making
some serious attempts to kind of you know, kind of
get a grip of your of some of these things

(29:13):
that are going on. And I believe you, by the way,
I've never doubted you. I've always noticed that you've been
treated poorly and by the Canadian community there, and and
I've never fully understood why. Apart from the fact that
some people are just nasty. It seems like that's London
place where you live, is is just really not up
for disability, is what it seems, and that they're just

(29:33):
not up for dealing with with people with disability. And
that's but that's on them. You know. That's another subtle
thing to remember. If somebody doesn't want your business, that's
not your business. That's their problem, you know, that's that's
but these are all very subtle things, you know. And yeah,
you know, I I do respectfully agree with you. Yeah,

(29:53):
you can't be you know, you can't be you can't
be teasing someone when they get cancer. You know, you
just can't, you know, you just you.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
Know, especially when you have when you know about like
and besides, you know, like God forbid it happens. Right,
But I could get at myself.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
We could, we could all be that way, right, we're
just once. Any any person who's cited is one accident
away from being blind. Right. So that's kind of the important.
The important thing to know is that you always have
to strive for further and further improvement. You know. That's
always a very a very very subtle thing.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
And I don't recall go ahead.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Oh no, worries. Yeah, I do recall that you were
on some podcast, Yeah, where you talk to those two
They were very kind to you, and and I forget
who they are. They spoke to you about your your
your issues and your losses and your life and and
they help people. Oh damn it. What's that called? Something
about grief?

Speaker 4 (30:52):
Yes, you have those people on your podcast?

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Don't think about grief? Yeah, I guys, if you're out
there and anyone at home remembers.

Speaker 4 (30:59):
What it was called, I know what it's called.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
Now, what's it called?

Speaker 4 (31:04):
Well, I was called Life After the Mountain and the
host I don't know if I should mentioned who the
host is because I don't know what he's doing. Now.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Yeah, I have to confess, I honestly forget the host.
But they were very kind.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
To me and they were the most two of the
most kindest people. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Yeah, they were the show a long time ago. I
don't know if they would even remember Aaron's opinion. Maybe
maybe I don't.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
Know their names.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Whatever happened to the podcast though, It was something about
loss and and and grief and how to grief.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
Something life after the Mountain, but it was called something
about Grief too, but then they changed the name. It
was two people who had met on TikTok.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Right, And.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
I don't know. Do you need me to mention the names?

Speaker 1 (31:54):
I no, no, I I forget, but that's okay. Look,
the point is they were nice to us, and and
that and and that they helped you. And that was
around four years ago. That was a good while back.
I do I do recall it, man, So you know,
the point, the point behind it all is is, look,
there's some there's some areas for improvement, and there's some
areas for advocacy. Right, you know you need to improve

(32:16):
you And yes, you're right, you need to get this
this petition, uh, you know, off off the ground, you know.
So let's talk about that, right with with a petition
with change dot Org. I've never actually put one together,
and this is just to light in the mood. My
my brother always likes to tease me, just to get
me spun up. And I don't know if it's true,

(32:38):
but he claims it probably isn't because he's my brother.
He claims that he put together a petition on there
about changing the changing the plural of squid from squid
to squad. In other words, he thinks that that we
shouldn't say to squid. He thinks we should say one
squid and two squad.

Speaker 4 (32:57):
So you know what I like that squid squad. Yeah,
well man, I mean, if it were true, that would
be that would be hilarious.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
That's the silly part. I don't think it's actually true.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
But but anyway, I have two petitions.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Actually, oh you do, well? What are they?

Speaker 4 (33:17):
One is I created with AI generated called I Forget
because I've been so wrapped up in my bleing petition.
It's something about make London accessible.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Oh yeah, I have friends.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
And wheelchairs and I and I think that there some
of them because of the way that some things are
mapped out, if it's an old building like I do have,
and I know, like I'm not and I'm not saying
this too, you know, I'm not saying this so like

(33:51):
it's othern't know, I do, you know, even though I
know I get upset and I wound up tight, I
do have the capacity to care about others.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
Absolutely, And I do care about others, and I do
care about accessibility issues, and I've been hearing about and
there are people like in bar that want to go
want to that they're not always wheelchair stuff on sidewalks
are the pits at times because they have those rough

(34:21):
like step ups, like even one step would be you know,
sometimes I don't know if you can get on go
on curbs with your wheelchair. I don't use I'm not
a wheelchair user, but I have. I had a girlfriend,
well short term, we're still friends. Well we don't talk,
but that's a different story. I'm not gonna, you know,

(34:44):
because her struggles and her you know, I don't want to,
and I don't want to, you know, because I I
still care about her a lot. But she's an a
wheel chair. Yeah, and there are things that she probably
wants to do that so that.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Are not always that are not always doable and not
always accessible, but they need to be.

Speaker 4 (35:10):
Yeah, I'll share that position too, that that bullyings the
one has got more, and I apologize for that. Right.
I meant to have both kids who take care of
both of those positions. But you know, when you get
caught up in something, right, And I'm not using this
an excuse, because you know me, I will talk about

(35:32):
things that I'll take full responsibility. I won't. I won't
own what I've done, even though it might get me
in trouble, it might get me some hate or disapproval.
I'll own what I've done. And I'm not saying the
sudden cuse, but I'm the type of person that I
guess and there's a lot of people like that who'll

(35:54):
get them before they get you.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
Right, Sure, No, I definitely see. Well, So for your
current petition, the one that you're all wrapped up in,
the one where you're mostly the one about stop the
bullet stop bullying Rob Bob, do you know Bob castro
Giovanni won, right, So with that petition? Okay? Who? So,
who are you petitioning because when technically the way it

(36:18):
works is you're supposed to be petitioning a something to
have a result that you want. Like, you can't just
petition the general public. It's generally to an organization or
a person or you know who are Yes.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
I guess is that what you mean about influencers?

Speaker 1 (36:37):
I no, no, no, no. What I mean is when
you create a change dot org. Right, yeah, you need
to You need to create it so that you're petitioning
somebody like a person. Right. Let's say that you want
to let me just come up with a hypothetical. Let's
say that there are, of course the problem with me

(36:59):
coming up with a hypothe articles there probably has been
have been petitions about it. Let's imagine a future world
where humans are living on Mars. Right, let me go
really out of the box with you to make this illustration.
Let's say we live on Mars and our governments have
you know, our countries are one country or something like that,

(37:21):
and all the countries have collapsed. They're all like regions,
and our region of the world. Rob has sent astronauts
to go live on Mars and be mining on Mars. Well,
we don't like that. Or something like that, or one
of your friends is an astronaut, but he can't spend
time with his family and you don't really agree with
the mining of Mars anyway. Right. So let's say, for instance,

(37:42):
that you would create a petition, and the petition would
say petitioning I don't know, the World World Space Association
of twenty fifty stop sending astronauts to Mars, right, and
then you would be petitioning that organization, that NGO, that
hypethetical and GEO by the way, to to stop sending

(38:04):
there these hypothetical astronauts to Mars for this hypothetical, imaginary
scenario that I'm drawing, right, So so that's what I'm
kind of drawing it.

Speaker 4 (38:13):
Oh no, I get it.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Who are you petitioning there?

Speaker 4 (38:17):
The London music community?

Speaker 1 (38:19):
Okay? Is there a specific person that runs that thing?
Like you keep on saying London Music Community? Like, is
it an organization?

Speaker 4 (38:29):
I did not petition a certain person.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Okay, right, Well, I mean generally musician unions and these
types of music groups have some leadership structure. There's obviously somebody,
you know, because it's not quite kind of going to work,
you see, you can't just necessarily spread it out. I mean,
it's a great way to spread awareness for the issue.
I totally get it, and no harm there. But what

(38:56):
I am saying between us man, between us mate is look,
if you're not going to petition a person or a
specific individual, right, I'm not suggesting, by the way, I'm
just thinking out loud. I'm not suggesting that you do this.
In fact, this would be a terrible idea. But let's
say that you were really angry at the owner of
that bar who wanted you to leave, or something like that.

(39:16):
You would say petitioning I don't know, John Smith for
kicking me out of the bar or something like that.
You know. So that's one piece of advice I would
give is try to find a specific person to whom
you want to petition, right. That would be that would
be a huge reason for other people to sign, because
if they see that there's traction with a person or

(39:37):
an NGO or a company or an agency, then there's
a lot more of a reason for somebody to read
the petition and say, wait a minute, this is actually
a serious thing. You know. That's kind of where where
I would you know what I So, No, I'm just
wondering how would it work though, if you're just going
to petition. This is the community of musicians, like who.

Speaker 4 (39:57):
Would answer any people? Like I have people I can't
I don't like. But I don't know if you know
just one person, because there are a lot of people
that have wronged me in and between. You know, it's
not just the music community. I feel like I've been

(40:19):
bullied up that the community is a major like factor.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
But right.

Speaker 4 (40:28):
We're getting Yeah, honest, I've read, I've looked at like
I said, you know, you can do like I've it
told me what I can do, like I can put
influencers like it gave me a suggestion like you can
influence the London Police Department of the London Music Comedy
as an influencer. But you know, because I read what

(40:51):
stuff I could do.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (40:53):
But I don't know if you sign up. But you
have to pay to sign a petition. I know I
didn't have to pay to start it, but some people
told me that they have to pay to sign it,
so I don't know if it costs anything.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
If so, Now you know that I'm on state side.
I'm an American guy. I'm not Canadian. I don't live
in Canada, so I actually did, by the way, a
couple of months back, I went to Morio with my
with my family actually, so I have been one time
to Canada. I had a lovely time. But but Montreal, yeah, yeah, yeah,

(41:25):
it's lovely. It's a lovely place. There were a lot
of bars and people doing music and things like that.
But at any rate, though, what was I going to say? Yeah? Where? Where? Where? Where?
I lost my train of thought. Some think there's something
about the petition.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
Have a certain person.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Oh no, no, no, okay. So as an American, I've never
had to. I've never had to pay money to sign
a change dot org. I've had to. I've been asked
if I want to make a financial contribution after signing
to push it through.

Speaker 4 (42:01):
But that's what they meant.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
I think, perhaps because I don't think change dot org
would be able to nobody would sign if they had
to pay money before signing exactly. So I mean, I
could be wrong, but I don't think you have to
pay money to sign it. I do recall that it
prompts you to give money after signing.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
Maybe that's what he got confused about. He see he
registered and then Canada. I'm not gonna that. There was
someone who told me they registered and then after they
signed my petition, they canceled the registration.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
Hmm interesting, very very interesting that right right? Yeah, I
don't know, but no, I mean, I mean it sounds
like a good idea. And and then what's your goal,
like how many signatures do you need to make the
problem stop? You know?

Speaker 4 (42:59):
Well, really my goal is to just spread awareness mm
hmm about you know how I feel about I know
I need things. You always need things to back your
thing up, and I should have done more research, shy,
it's just dong hold. You know, I'll get really gung

(43:21):
ho and I want to get things off the ground
right away. And I just I can't wait. I just
I'm very up. I want this started now. I want
I've sent it to a couple of people. I'm gonna
get on my point. I want to Ever since twenty
sixteen when I got kicked out of the Covent Garden

(43:43):
Market for a bus, you know, for that comment, I
you know, I've been wanting to get on the news
about my unfair treatment and I'm trying to it even says,
you know, put your number on this, so when you
get amount of signatures, news people can contact you. But
you know me, I decided I'd go on X and

(44:03):
I'd send it to my people. I follow on you
like London just rolled in the London News because I'm
gonna I'm gonna say something that really really pissed me
off a few years ago. Now this might be on point,
this might not be. But a few years ago there
was an article on CBC in London, a disabled man

(44:28):
looking for love and I should not have judged me.
I do know this guy, and I was angry because
how could he get an article in CBC but me
who is fighting for to be taken seriously and fighting

(44:49):
for more serious, like and this is just my opinion.
This is what the show is called. I I said
that to myself a couple of times, when You've always said,
this is my opinion, and I'm like, yep, that's why
they call it Aaron's opinion because it's your opinion. And
you know it's not called Aaron's fact. You know it's not.

(45:12):
You know it's called Aaron's opinion because you're distressing your opinion.
It's just like I'm expressed, I believe that there are
more pressing issues in the disabled community than to say
people looking for love. And this guy I feel is
in love with himself anyway. So I was mad because

(45:34):
he got and I was like, I'm fighting me taken seriously.
And this guy, this guy who I know to be
and this is my opinion, I know him to be
kind of a womanizer. And I was mad because he
got an article before I did. And I feel that

(45:56):
there are people with disabilities fighting to be taken more seriously,
even some guy looking for a girlfriend. Although I'm we're
all looking. I mean, but I was talking about this
with my uncle this morning, my uncle and my father
in the car on the away from breakfast when we
were cruising a little bit. You know, I was talking

(46:19):
about how I you know, I'd love I'd love to
be and I'm sorry, this is not I'm not trying
to go off topic.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
To go off topic, no, no, no worries, talk about
what you want.

Speaker 4 (46:30):
Yeah, but Aaron's right, I do need. I I'm not
the only you know if I need. If I want
to see improvement, I got things to improve myself. And yes,
if you and I'm I guess I'm asking you listener,
if this has I mean, you don't have to. I mean,

(46:54):
but I'm asking you if if this kind of turns
your stomach for forgiveness.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
I guess right. Well, you see the thing about that
is those are two different things. You can't It's you're
you're wanting two totally different things. Forgiveness, right and getting
people to agree with you about change dot org or
signing your petition. Well, those are two totally different things.

Speaker 4 (47:20):
Well no, no, you're right, yeah, I'm out forgiveness in the
fact that I said horrible things.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
Well, the only thing you can well, the only thing
you can do is learn from that and tell yourself, well,
I'm just not going to say that again. Or the
other thing you can do is try to improve in
a variety of things in your life so that when
when you're faced with these issues again, you'll remember the
past and remember that you didn't like the version of

(47:49):
you that you showed then and try and just try
to do a little bit better, you know, because you're
not going to be one hundred percent better overnight. Nothing
works out.

Speaker 4 (47:58):
But I mean years of therapy too.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
And I understand it, trust me, I do. And what
you can do is you can take baby steps. I
would only ask you to to take baby steps.

Speaker 4 (48:10):
I do like all type of status and yeah, I'll
bee I all send it because I feel like it
was too I'm working on that because I'm doing I
quit a status yesterday. It wasn't bad, but this I'll
give you. It was like, do I want the public

(48:31):
to know this right away? Do I want my friends
to know? And I was like, this is private stuff
that I should be keeping to myself and talking to
my talking to only a handful of people about Facebook
doesn't need to know it. You guys don't. And I'm
taking baby steps. I'm I'm writing bad statuses and leaving

(48:54):
the page and not sending.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
Me sure, sure, well that's and that's fine. And we
all catch our cell is doing stuff like that. You know,
everybody does it. There's no harm in that. But what
you have to do is learn from it and say
to yourself, you know, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna
try to do a little bit better, a little bit better.
Baby step, baby step. Oh and now look at how

(49:16):
much I've improved in one year. You know, if you
take baby steps in the right direction, you know, if
you work on your health, if you work on your
physical health if you work on you know, it's what
it always is for me in my life and my
success that I've seen. It's always the little things, and
it's never the big picture. It's always the little things.

(49:38):
And that's and that's the life lesson. It's it's about
taking taking the smallest of steps to go as far
as we possibly can. I would never ask a guest
to do things that are impossible, because that would defeat
the purpose of impossibility. I would only ask you to
do things that are hard and difficult but possible, right
oftentimes to go through the hardest things life. We perceive

(50:01):
them as impossible, when in fact they're possible, but just
very difficult, yet never impossible. So these are subtle things, right,
subtle things that you can put into your mental bank
of things that you can be doing to really really
start moving slowly in a in a stronger direction, you know,
and I agree with you. You know, there's certain things

(50:23):
that have happened to me that we're not going to
go back to but in this moment, on this recording.
But there's certain things that have happened to me that
have permanently traumatized me. And there's certain places I can't
go because I have PTSD about certain places. So you know,
it just it just goes to show that this is

(50:46):
all a work in progress, you know, and ultimately in
the end, apart from getting you know, you know, recognition
and awareness, I mean generally change dot org. From the
ones that I have signed, which are very few because
I'm a healthy skeptic of everything really, but you know,

(51:08):
with the things that I've signed, there was a specific,
matter of fact goal that it was going to do.
You know. So if like, let's like, so, what would
happen if if a thousand people signed this petition? Like,
what would happen?

Speaker 4 (51:23):
All I could say is just read over my petition
and uh and uh and just for yourself and you
and if you think that there's you know, more, I
will be glad to hear your opinion on that, because
maybe there's stuff that I knew well that I didn't
say that, and maybe because I believe that there is

(51:48):
more to the petition than But I am going to
send you not only the petition, but that the AI
generated article that sure that I copy from the position.
And because I don't know, I've tried to look at
research on the journal Psychology I don't know if I

(52:09):
get it right, but you know, I'm just gonna say no.
I mean, because I'm I'm grateful to this knowledge, but
I'm just gonna say, you can go over my petition
and if you feel like you know that I need
to either's more steps.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
I'm sure that the petition's fine, man, But my point
is that the petitions that gain the traction of the
petitions that are petitioning a specific person to take a
specific action, that's definitely. Yeah. So maybe if you can
over time figure out, you know, what's going on there
in the London music scene, maybe there's some secret president

(52:54):
that you don't know that's hiding from you, you know,
maybe right, So what I would do in your position
is I would research that extensively and figure out exactly
who who's in charge of the ship there and who's
really controlling the London music scene, right, And then I
would and then I would research that and I would say, okay,
this is this is the person that's in charge of it,

(53:16):
and things like that, and uh and yeah mm hmm
and because and because of all these things, these are
the actions that would need to be taken and things
like that. But but yeah, No, I think it's ridiculous
that that it has come down to you need and
to sign a petition just to get people to behave

(53:37):
that that's a bit of an illustration on the quality
of people that you're dealing with. You know, to some extent,
I think, I'm glad you're I'm glad you're doing this petition.
But in a lot of other ways, they realistically will
probably never change their ways.

Speaker 4 (53:55):
You know, No, realistically they want I guess I just
want to waste right sure, to be a voice for
the community. And even though this is for myself by
someone said there it's someone commented on the article strock article,
I strocked. I don't know how to pronounce it. The
computer Crowns says at rock it's an AI action. You

(54:18):
can rock on X stuff rock actions. So some say, well,
it should not be just in London, all over the world,
and I agree, But also they said local. When I
was doing a position, it said you could do it
locally or globally. But they say locally gets the more actions.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
Sure, well, I mean it depends on what you're doing,
and it depends on who you're petitioning, and sometimes it
would have to be a global issue, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (54:50):
But I'll definitely definitely do more research into definitely do
more research. If I could name a certain person, like
just one person, I would, but I think there's more
than one person, right, And I've I've named Dropped on
this podcast. I've I because you know, I've been here

(55:13):
to tell my story. I am not I if I
I think that I'm just gonna when I named If
I ever named Drop, I think I'll just make up names.
But you know so that you that that to protect

(55:36):
obviously not them, but me and protect protect, you know,
protect because you know you can pret because even though
I don't like, I don't like a lot when man
is doing Metta is probably doing this for some kind

(55:57):
of protection again for you, like, because if they didn't
remove some of the posts I made, I'd probably be
in a lot of trouble.

Speaker 1 (56:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (56:07):
So I'm not saying you know that I agree with meta,
but but I would like to acknowledge that I think
I know what MEDDA is trying to do, and that's
they're just protecting us because you know, it's not just me,
it's my sister and I and we go over the

(56:29):
top because we both have our issues and with the
community at large. And I really, you know what, I
you know what, maybe I don't know if she, you know,
she would would come on your show.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
Well, she's welcome here, welcome of course.

Speaker 4 (56:55):
In fact, it's funny. I mean I was gonna suggest
that way, you know, because there was a podcast I
was on and it was Siblings International Siblings. He gives
another blind podcast with I mean another sorry, another podcast
I I have to choose my wording. Okay, another podcast

(57:20):
boasted by a blind two blind siblings.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
That okay, wow, man.

Speaker 4 (57:25):
I respect It's called Outlook. I will send I'll send
you the link offline.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
Never that never would have known about that. Let's get
them on the show. Co that sounds cool.

Speaker 4 (57:35):
I will message that. I will. You know how I
used to do to you. I used to send you
massive messages with the people.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
Yeah, and you know how, and you know how because
I know you're gonna laugh about this. You know how.
You you went through a thing where you you you
got me mixed up with the other Aaron Richmond and
then figure.

Speaker 4 (57:55):
Yeah that one that sound like him.

Speaker 1 (57:58):
Yeah, but Rob, I promise I you didn't go to
school in Canada. Okay, I promise you.

Speaker 4 (58:04):
You promised me. Yeah, because I don't know. I still
think there's like you have a little I think I
still think there's a at this. I still think that
you know, like you I don't know good because I well,
you know, I I know that's uh, you know. I'd

(58:26):
love to I'd love I would love to get in
touch with the other Aaron Richmond.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
Well, so would I, and I would tell him, Hey, Aaron,
get in touch with Rob. You went to school with him.

Speaker 4 (58:38):
I had thought it was you because of course the
voice was a little high, but you still obviously because
a six year old, you're not going to sound like
a six year old. He's this guy's younger than me,
and you're your your way, You're eleven years younger, and
he was kind of like that.

Speaker 1 (58:54):
So yeah, but I'm just sure. I'm positive because of
the last time I looked at my passport and said
United States of America.

Speaker 4 (59:03):
Well, I mean passports to be fudged.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
And you know, Rob, come on, man, mine is not
that we're just that's that's just silly. That's just silly stuff.

Speaker 4 (59:18):
I can say I'm from the United Arab Emirates.

Speaker 1 (59:22):
Yeah, I don't recommend you saying that though I would
just stick with the Canada story, let's I would just
I would just play music in the London Music Society.
And yeah, I would just I would like.

Speaker 4 (59:35):
To get passport to to maybe play some music in America.
So I don't want to live there, I mean, no offense.
I would like to visit, though I do have relatives.

Speaker 1 (59:47):
That's fine, that's good. That's good.

Speaker 4 (59:52):
Florida.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
Oh that's Disney World. Okay, okay, I see, I see.

Speaker 4 (59:59):
It's so now that you're in Florida, do you ever
get to hang out with Mickey and Minnie and all
them guys?

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
And no, no, actually, since we moved down here, I
don't think. I don't think I've been to Disney since
we moved here. It's one of the issues when you
live in Florida is it's ridiculously expensive.

Speaker 4 (01:00:21):
You know, it is ridiculously expensive. Now I'm lucky to
live where I live. You for a one bedroom, you're
looking at sixteen hundred and I pay about five hundred
and something. And well in London alone, you're looking at
sixteen hundred Canadian right, right, I mean prices has gone
up drastically.

Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
Right, I'll let you continue and know.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
Yeah, yeah, so no, we we the The other thing
in addition to the price thing is that with with
the parks, it's very hot for most of the year,
so I would only want to go to the parks
like in the winter, which to you it would feel hot,
but to American people it feels pleasant. So you know,
it just it just goes to show how different the
climates are from country to country.

Speaker 4 (01:01:08):
But I've been the Disney World, I've been to Michigan
because I have related there.

Speaker 1 (01:01:13):
Michigan's right, I dovguely remember that. Yeah, you do have
relatives in Michigan. Yeah, which isn't too far from Canada.

Speaker 4 (01:01:19):
Actually, I found out because I I don't understand this.
So why do we get your networks on TV but
you don't get ours?

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
Well, I don't want to watch Canadian TV.

Speaker 4 (01:01:32):
Oh well Canadian TV is actually pretty good actually, and
and you know what, if you think about it, American
networks doing a Canadian programming, Well, that's good they do.
And we're talking about it because I have another Discord
servers that's a youtub channel that it joined and it's hoppened.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
Well that well, that's well that's good man, that's good.

Speaker 4 (01:01:56):
And I found out for my Google in New York
mm hm, in Michigan. Well, Michigan you can get in
New York though. I found out that people can get
TV Ontario in New York and I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
Yeah, because there's a lot of Canadians that live in
New York and New York State. That's why.

Speaker 4 (01:02:14):
Yeah, well New York and Michigan they're close to the border.
But wherever you are, I don't know if you get
like Global or CTV or if you've even heard of
these networks.

Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
I haven't heard of it. I've heard of CBC. We
can get CBC. We know about CBC.

Speaker 4 (01:02:28):
Well yeah, but you yeah, but CBC is like a
CC's like you know, it's funny because there was a
guy who who lives in I won't that. I'm just
talking about because joking, because we have two different variations
of Sesame Street or b Dating m hm. There's your
Sesame Street and there's Sesame Street Canada.

Speaker 1 (01:02:50):
That's true. Each country. I actually listened to a podcast
about the history of that show. Yeah, each country developed
their own their own version of the show to their
own culture. Yeah, that is I really like.

Speaker 4 (01:03:02):
And there's actually the actually interchange because there was an
episode of Sesame Street called Abillardo's Visit and Albilardo is
the Spanish for Big Bird. Avolardo turned out Big Bird's cousin.

Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
Oh interesting, So an Oscar.

Speaker 4 (01:03:21):
I think there's a grouch in the Spanish named Poncho,
and Poncho is the one that drove that drove that.
Oscar is the one that that drove Abelardo to the airport,
that drove Abelardo from the airport to Sesame Street. You
know what, I really I know he's called the grouch,

(01:03:41):
but I really don't think he's a grouch. I think
underneath he has a very very very uh soft you know, exterior,
underneath that rough ebsteria, I believe he's very soft.

Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
Well, that very well could be true. I'm certainly not
an expert on the show, but it be true. But
yet any yet anyway, Yes, the networks are interesting from
country to country, and there's.

Speaker 4 (01:04:07):
Definitely I mean, I would love to find out. You know,
I am interested in how many of you Americans have
listened to Canadian programming, And I tell you I listened
to a lot of American programming.

Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
I mean it's it's possible that people have listened to
you know, American Canadian stuff in America, but we might
not necessarily know that it is Canadian. That's that's one
of the things.

Speaker 4 (01:04:31):
Yeah, exactly, that's uh. Yeah, I was talking to someone
about that, because you know, the I have, Like I said,
I go on this YouTube channel which I'm onder this
the discord Server, and it's all the gen X culture
and I'm millennial, but the end of gen X in

(01:04:53):
the beginning of the millennials are interchangeable.

Speaker 1 (01:04:56):
Mm hm.

Speaker 4 (01:04:57):
And you're I don't know what you classified as gen Z.
I'm not good on that. Maybe jenn elf but I
don't know. I'm not. I'm a millennial. I was born
in eighty one, and I am not shy about that.
In fact, I'm an open book. People ask me, I

(01:05:18):
want to ask me questions if any sighted person want,
you know, I am the happy answer questions. But no,
I'm very, very open, and I'm a very and I
think that's one of the reasons I've gotten into so
much trouble.

Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
Right, Yeah, absolutely, I'm.

Speaker 4 (01:05:35):
A trouble maker. Do you know they should I should
do a podcast called The Angry Blind Blind.

Speaker 1 (01:05:41):
Guy that would actually be a really good title, The
angry blind guy with with Rob Caster. Do you have
honey exactly?

Speaker 4 (01:05:52):
Someone actually suggested because I was that of kissing in
the dark.

Speaker 1 (01:05:59):
No, because then Rob, because like I was saying earlier today, right,
we want to try to change your outlook and change
some of the things that that you're doing.

Speaker 4 (01:06:08):
Right, So change it for the better, you.

Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
Know, Yeah, so pissing the dark wood wouldn't be changing
it for the better. You want to try to make
you you're trying, like I said before, right, if you
think about losing your temper, you want to think about
how you will be marketing yourself to other people. You know,
this is something that that is very misunderstood in the

(01:06:31):
blindness community. That needs to be understood in the blindness community.
The way we market ourselves to other people makes all
the difference in the world. The way the way we
market ourselves makes all the difference. So if there's anything
you can do to to market yourself better, you know
you need to be doing it. In other words, there's

(01:06:52):
no greater time than the present for you to start
making some of these key changes.

Speaker 4 (01:06:58):
But I do want to apologize, that's all right, Any
of the listeners who have who have had or still
have cancer. Okay, I want you to know that I
do not that I wish you well and I I
am not that you know if you like. And I

(01:07:19):
want to because I have offended people that I didn't
mean to offend. And I just want to apologize for
those of you who do you have cancer that knowing
that I don't wish any ill ill will on you
and I want you know, I want you to beat it.
I and any of my friends who I offended that
has cancer, I won't. I just want to apologize.

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
Okay. Well that's a very good. See that's taking one
step in the right direction. So that's excellent, man, that's
really good. Yeah, all right, all right, And seriously, you
should help me get in touch with that podcast that
with those two blind people that you mentioned, because I.

Speaker 4 (01:07:56):
Never definitely do it. And I've gotten you in touch
with I noticed you liked when I that page I
invited you to the New Vision Advocates in London, Ontario.
That's uh, you.

Speaker 1 (01:08:09):
Know, yeah, yeah, I wonder, I wonder. I think I've
interviewed them. I don't know if I've interviewed them or not.

Speaker 4 (01:08:17):
I know you interviewed advocates, but not from Canada. I
but a couple. I think I want to do a
Canadian like one of the podcasts because I had to
have a dream think one of the podcast like you
know how we were talking about different Sesame Street has
different culture. Well, I want to you have your show

(01:08:41):
in the United States and I want obviously my show
will not be called Aaron's Opinion, that would be weird
right hosted by Rob Caster, But I want to do
I want to do something that you know, like what

(01:09:02):
you're doing. And I want to And even some guy
in my one of my music stores said he'd sponsor
me if I want to do a music podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:09:13):
So okay, well there you go.

Speaker 4 (01:09:15):
And I wanted to, you know, and speaking of which
I needed, I thanked them, you know, because they I
they cleaned up my I had my guitar strings the
world and I obviously hurt me. You want to play them,
so they clean them up nice for me. They put

(01:09:38):
restrung and now it sounds like it just is a
dream to play. And sure before I couldn't wait to
put it down.

Speaker 1 (01:09:49):
Jesus, it was that bad. We Okay, maybe you need
to take better care of your instruments from the start. Rob.
I think that's one of the things you need to
take better care of your equipment and and in care
for the things that you have. See, there's a lot
to be learned.

Speaker 4 (01:10:00):
They are well, you know, with the guitar, it's the strings.
If you're a guitar player. A lot of guitar players
change their strings probably weekly because they play their guitar
so much.

Speaker 1 (01:10:11):
It matters on the wear and tear you right, sure, sure?

Speaker 4 (01:10:15):
I have six guitars mm hmm somewhere at my parents'
house because I can't. I don't want to root for
all them, plus my fifteen keyboards, right, Yes, I'm obsessed.

Speaker 1 (01:10:31):
Well that's that's good. That's good, man, that's really I'm
a keyboard order. Well that's well, there's there's worse things
to hoard, So that's that's good. That's that's a good thing.
That's a good thing to have. Yeah, definitely, definitely. So
what are some what are some other stuff that you've

(01:10:51):
been working on? Man? What else is going on? You
know outside of all these topics.

Speaker 4 (01:10:56):
Man, you know, I've been you know, I mean, ever
since COVID's been over, I've been going out a little more.

Speaker 1 (01:11:04):
Yeah, whatnot?

Speaker 4 (01:11:07):
And you know I even started, you know, I mean,
I love I'll go to movies with friends, but sometimes
they're not available. I've been in a few movies by
myself too.

Speaker 1 (01:11:19):
Okay, well that's good man.

Speaker 4 (01:11:21):
By myself. I mean, I add, I want to learn
because I like movies and there's not a lot of availability.
So you know, if I'm in if I'm in the
mood to go to a movie and mm hmm, you know,
I go to myself, I just time it rightly for
my pair of transit to come. And and if you remember,

(01:11:41):
I wrote a song about pair of transit.

Speaker 1 (01:11:43):
That's my favorite song.

Speaker 4 (01:11:45):
Oh thank you. I love that. I love that. I
need to write more. I've been working on more songs,
not working on them as I've been working on a
premature Yeah. And I say premature because I didn't know
how I felt about her. I just it was the

(01:12:07):
girlfriend I was mentioning. And I've been working on a
love song and I should have really explored my feelings
before I thought about it, because you know, but I
love a song doesn't have to be.

Speaker 1 (01:12:25):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:12:26):
I mean, we were talking this morning about a song.
My uncle and I were talking about music and talking
about I don't know, you know what, It's funny. I
mentioned a lot of things and nothing was taboo. We're

(01:12:48):
talking about the meaning of Everybody wants to know what
the meaning of Hotel California is. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
Yeah, So you could do a podcast where you research
the mysticism and the history behind music, music's greatest masterpieces.

Speaker 4 (01:13:03):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:13:04):
There's a lot of mysticism and a lot of unknown
unknowns about a lot of these great songs, typically the
really famous stuff. It's really famous because nobody fully understood
what it meant, you.

Speaker 4 (01:13:15):
Know, exactly. And I don't think and I don't think
they do either. I think they wanted it to I
think they want us to interpret it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
To be honest, I think that some of the most
incredible pieces of music have been music that have been
written for us to secretly know the hidden meaning. You know.
So that's what truly makes it, truly makes it or
breaks it. You know.

Speaker 4 (01:13:39):
I do too, And I'm a firm believer in I like,
I'm gonna analyzer of music. I have to. I have to, like,
I have to like listen to the story. I'll just
listen to the words, But I have to find the
hidden meanings, right, that's right. I think I think that's
the artist in me.

Speaker 1 (01:13:58):
Absolutely, Like.

Speaker 4 (01:14:03):
A lot of people listen to music, they don't pay
they love music. There's a lot of music lovers but
that don't pay attention, Like they love it, but they
don't want it. Because I even heard something because I
asked my superintendent, like, you know, what do you know?
Like because he I'm just gonna give an example. He

(01:14:25):
likes the Beach Boys and yeah, unfortunately we lost Brian
Wilson and I yeah, and it's and a lot of
us grew up with them. No matter what generation you are.
A lot of people know the Beach Boys. And I
want to do a live stream at some point tribute
to him and play some of his songs, but I
know Facebook and Meta are very sticky about copyright. Is shoes.

Speaker 1 (01:14:48):
You can't you couldn't be doing you couldn't be playing
a song. You could do a clip where you mimic
some of the style and that was very influential at
that time and is still influential today. Yeah, definitely, But.

Speaker 4 (01:15:02):
No, o, Brian Wilson, I think is the last Well,
I'm not saying no, He's not the last one there
there's still a few handful let are alive, but uh,
all his brothers are gone, have been gone, long gone,
and you and but no, I like, for example, he
likes each boys. I said, well, what do you know

(01:15:23):
about this? And he's this, and he's like, I don't know.
I just I just like the music. I don't pay
attention to the.

Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
You know, some people are like that. We know somebody too.
We have a friend who's like really deeply into the
history of each musician of each single group, and we're like,
you know, just listen to the music. But some people
will really really get into it.

Speaker 4 (01:15:41):
And that's so does my sister, Like she can tell
you a lot about Kenny Logan's maybe not everything, but
mm hmm, yeah she can. She loves she's obsessed with him,
and like I like you, you know, we're like the

(01:16:02):
type of people that we need a full dossier on them,
you know exactly we want to know. And like I
don't want people. I don't want people. If I was
made a big and if I ever made it, you know,
I wouldn't mind people. I'm like I said, I'm an
open book. I mean, I wouldn't mind how to Wikipedia

(01:16:23):
would I thought of writing my own Wikipedia page. I mean,
anybody could write one, or an IMDb.

Speaker 1 (01:16:31):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 4 (01:16:32):
I don't know if this podcast has an IMDb page.
If it is, i'd love.

Speaker 1 (01:16:36):
I have no idea if we do. I mean, I
mean I would say that I doubt it. But then again,
you I've been surprised before about what people are secretly
writing behind our backs, so you never know what information
is out there, all right.

Speaker 4 (01:16:47):
I can't google myself, but you used to be surprised
if you googled.

Speaker 1 (01:16:51):
Yourself, right, But I don't want to do that because
that would that would mess up the algorithm, because I
want the public to google me. And if I google me,
then that that throws off the you know, that throws
it off a little bit, you.

Speaker 4 (01:17:05):
Know, I know. Maybe I'm just a little a little
I'm not self absorbed. Maybe I'm just I love myself
a little too much at times.

Speaker 1 (01:17:14):
Well we all do, we all?

Speaker 4 (01:17:16):
Do? You know?

Speaker 1 (01:17:17):
You know? All right?

Speaker 4 (01:17:18):
I feel that I made a difference in some people's lives.

Speaker 1 (01:17:22):
Right, obviously you have, you know, or else you wouldn't
still be here, you wouldn't still be carrying this much,
and you wouldn't have answered the call when I said
I have a vacancy and a guest wasn't able to
make it into the show today, and you know.

Speaker 4 (01:17:35):
I wanted to make sure that I answer the call.

Speaker 1 (01:17:40):
Well that will see Okay, so right there, that says
a lot. That says everything about your character. You answered
the call. You know, you showed up. You know that
says everything that that truly does. That says that says
everything about you. And that's that's really good.

Speaker 4 (01:17:59):
Yeah, yes, And well it isn't gonna you do a
lot of you know, good work and good podcast I mean,
you have a lot of your top provoking guests that
it bothered me. I don't know why it bothers me,
because there are other platforms that I could listen to
here podcast, But it bothers me that Apple won't let

(01:18:22):
me listen to explicit content for anymore, Like I can't
listen to my pot I have a lot of favorite
podcasts to listen to that I can't because they're explicit.
Now not just yours. I mean if I had a
podcast and it marked explicit, I wonder if I could
if I could listen to my own podcast and I'd

(01:18:44):
have to market explicit because I'm explicit.

Speaker 1 (01:18:50):
Yeah, definitely, definitely that would be your yours would definitely
be explicit. I mean I would say there's other platforms
you got like Spotify, you know, which is a free one.
I mean you can listen to it, you can. Aaron's
opinion is on all the platforms.

Speaker 4 (01:19:07):
So yeah, I can ask you, I noticed that you
went back to Speaker, Yeah, to talk about it here
if it's I noticed he changed, Let's say I noticed
you changed uh providers again.

Speaker 1 (01:19:27):
Yeah, yeah, there were there were a lot of new
analytical tools that I needed, and I found that Speaker
provides the best, the best analytical solution. You know.

Speaker 4 (01:19:35):
Wait, a lot of people are doing that and I
I'd probably go to anchor for me because that first,
it's the easiest tool.

Speaker 1 (01:19:44):
Yeah, they're changed. There's there's been a lot of changes
in the podcast landscape. That's that's for sure. That's definitely,
that's definitely accurate. Yeah. Yeah, well, you know, before we
get going today, I think we've covered I think we've
covered a lot today. We really have. Let's see here,

(01:20:11):
so you know, I have another another ten minutes or so,
and I think it would be really good if you want,
if you want to regale us with some of your music,
maybe one or two songs that you know, maybe one
song that you know I love, and then your favorite song.
I wanted to tell you too, you should do some
covers of Bob Dylan, by the way, because that's you

(01:20:32):
kind of have that voice. Actually you could kind of
easily do a Bob Dylan.

Speaker 4 (01:20:35):
Yeah, but anyway, I wasn't prepared for anything late, but
certainly I could sing one of my songs. I mean,
I mean, you know, I wanted to. I wanted to
display my the new sounding guitar and my new strings,
and I sure that's not open. I'll have to go

(01:20:58):
back to my the couch and open, you know, and
see if I'm in June. But I'm certainly not prepared
to do anything that I haven't practiced.

Speaker 1 (01:21:09):
Well then well then certainly, you know, you know how
much I enjoyed Para Transit, so that that one's an
easy one. You know, that's kind of your that's kind
of your your spiritual song. You know, it.

Speaker 4 (01:21:21):
Definitely is, and you know we'll be happy to do
that so for you and the listeners. And then I
will send are an email with my socials like my page,
my Facebook, my music page, anything, my petition, right right.
Not many people. A lot of people are wanting to
sign it. A lot of people are not, And that's okay.

(01:21:41):
You know, I've had I've had fights with people who
don't know. One person who doesn't want to sign but
that's not because she didn't want to sign it. It's
because she she kind of went into why and I
didn't really want to know, and it was just like, Okay,
you don't want to sign it, that's fine, but please
don't tell Yeah, sure, sure, you know, just okay, I'll

(01:22:04):
be back, I'll get my guitar. I was I should
have done it before because I knew that I was
gonna play something on.

Speaker 1 (01:22:10):
I mean, you knew, you knew you weren't going to
be able to make it out of here without pair
of transit it very I knew.

Speaker 4 (01:22:16):
I knew that. That's what I knew the most. I
wasn't going to be able to make it out of
here without transit. Yeah, and you know, that's one of
the highlights of my time of the podcast is hearing
if you guys hearing me play my guitar.

Speaker 1 (01:22:29):
All right, man, well let's go get that. That's fine, then.

Speaker 4 (01:22:31):
I hope you edit that. My phone just rang.

Speaker 1 (01:22:34):
Oh we didn't even hear it. We didn't even hear
it through this beautiful audio. So that's totally fine. Yeah,
all right, well I'll give you a minute here. Sure.

Speaker 4 (01:22:45):
I I'm sorry, audience. I hope that's I hope that
you guys don't hear it. I was hoping. I was
afraid my phone would ran during this interview. Ok okay,

(01:23:14):
let me speak, m all right, I am in tune.

Speaker 1 (01:23:24):
I'm just gonna.

Speaker 4 (01:23:29):
Yeah, all right, So yes, this is my signish song.
If you're just you know, doing the podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:23:38):
You should get your you should get your music on Spotify.
That's just oh, you know what. I have a playlist
that I've compiled where I've put all the blind musicians
in one side of guy that I've interviewed over the years.
I have a playlist. If you're if you put your
music on Spotify, I can put it on my playlist.

Speaker 4 (01:23:53):
Just okay, yeah you should.

Speaker 1 (01:23:56):
Definitely.

Speaker 4 (01:23:56):
I was thinking about that even before you know. I
I just want to know how I go about it.

Speaker 1 (01:24:00):
But I oh, I'll put you in touch with someone
who can help if you join my WhatsApp communities. If
you get more in touch with WhatsApp, I could certainly
get you in touch.

Speaker 4 (01:24:08):

Road of Improvement with Rob castro Giovanni right here on
the Aeron's Opinion podcast, the podcast for blind people where
we speak about critical issues in the blindness community and

(01:30:30):
all other issues from across the universe and galaxy. Robbie
did a great job as always, man, and we'll forget.
If you want that electronic business card, actually I think
Rob has it. Actually it's actually pretty cool. I wonder
if I will send you the electronic business card. That's
actually pretty funny. If you want the electronic business card,
and that really is the best way to know all
all the ways that you can follow along. It's a summary,

(01:30:52):
it is every way that you can learn about the show.
If you want the electronic business card for Aaron's Opinion,
please let me know. And of course though one two four,
zero six eight one nine eighty six nine one two

Opinion six at gmail dot com. A A R O
N s O p I N io N six Aaron's
Opinion six. That's the number six. Aaron's Opinion six at

(01:31:12):
gmail dot com. Follow along on Instagram. Many of you are,
by the way, joining the Instagram Follow along on Instagram
at Aaron's Opinion, and of course join the public WhatsApp
community along with the private Facebook group Aaron's Opinion Podcasting community.
So it's the same name. It's just one's on What's
Happened that's public and then the one on Facebook is private.
But more and more people are coming into it, and

(01:31:33):
it's a wonderful, wonderful thing how much we're seeing a
lot of things on that Aaron's Opinion podcasting community. That's
the WhatsApp group, and that's the Facebook group. There you go.
Don't forget about following, liking, and writing a review of
the Facebook page Aaron's Opinion podcast. And this is a
huge thing that you can do to help the podcast.
By the way, a lot of people come to a
podcast and they see what can I do to help?

(01:31:54):
And we say, well, if you would just write a
review of the Facebook page, that would be a huge help.
So you can write a review of the Facebook page
Aaron's Opinion podcast and let your friends know why you
tune into the show and everything like that. That's a
really cool thing to be able to do. We want
to take this time and think all of the downloads
this week yet, especially the fifty seven downloads from the
United States, the fourteen downloads Rob included obviously from Canada,

(01:32:18):
and the four downloads from Serbia. So that's a good
reflection on how our message is being sent around the
world these days. That's really really interesting. Anyway, don't forget
about following along on TikTok. We do occasionally post there,
not all the time. And don't forget about Patreon. Remember
if you want to be the first person to watch
the video, but just become a free member of the

(01:32:39):
Patreon Aaron's Opinion and then of course you'll be able
to watch the videos. And if you really feel generous,
as I say, you can join the lowest tier for
five dollars a month, but you don't have to. All
you have to do is be a free The only
thing you need to do is be a free member,
but I'm never going to post publicly, so you have
to be a free member of the patreon to get
the information out of the Patreon. And actually, I think

(01:33:00):
that's I have to tell you, that's actually very generous.
Most most most or many of the creators require that
they only share things to the to the pay tiers,
so that's actually a very generous thing. At any rate,
don't forget about following along on x and on YouTube
at Aaron's Opinion TV like this video and comment below.

(01:33:23):
And definitely we might even be able to give you
more information about the change dot org petition. And that
would be very good if you could help Rob out
about that because it really means a lot to him, absolutely,
and all those things. Okay, well, thank you so much.
We want to say Rob, you did a great job
and I knew you would. And you know, like like
I've said, and like other podcasters who are friends in

(01:33:44):
our family here at Aaron's Opinion, I've told you Rob,
you know, we understand two things. We understand that you
you have endured a life of significant challenges. We all do.
And we also recognize that you you have improvements that
you need to make in your life, and I recognize
that you have been making a lot of improvement. So
you've been doing much better. You're not out of the

(01:34:07):
woods yet, you still have some improvements you know, ahead
of you. But I can tell that you are. You
are making a good faith effort to walk in the
right direction and things like that, and I really really
salute you for that. Man. Anyway, keep doing the very
best you can with getting your emotions in check, and
enjoy your music, and just keep enjoying Aaron's Opinion if

(01:34:28):
you like, and all the other great podcasts that are
helping you from around the world. And I certainly know
and certainly help that certainly hope that Aaron's Opinion is
not the only podcast that should be helping Rob. You know,
there's so many wonderful podcasts there really are, And so
thank you Rob. You are forever welcome in the Aaron's
Opinion family. And we just want to say, have a
wonderful day up there in Canada. And I wish you.

(01:34:49):
The only thing I wish you is health, good health, happiness,
and just continued success in your road to recovery and
your road to success. So there you go. We want
to take this time to thank all the other podcasters
and radio stations for continuing to syndicate and share the
important message of Aaron's Opinion. Thank you so much. And
of course thank you to all the other guests, past,

(01:35:10):
present and future who continue to share your knowledge with
us on the podcast each week. We couldn't do it
without you either. And of course thank you to you
at home, the listener where whether you're the fifty seven
downloads this week from the United States, the fourteen from
Canada before from Serbia or many other countries, thank you. Remember,
if you want me to say your country, you have

(01:35:30):
to be in the top three. You have to be
in my top three downloads for a given week, which
of course you're competing with all the countries, so it's
very compeut interesting. We know there's millions of choices out
there in that podcast catalog. We know there's millions and
millions of choices, and I just want to say thank
you for choosing Aaron's Opinion. All right, everybody, take care
out there and be well everybody. And let's see, actually, ironically,

(01:35:53):
we're going to go across the border again in the
next episode. We're going to go across the border and
talk to somebody else from Canada. That was actually not intentional.
It's just how the episodes landed and how the guests
kind of worked into my schedule. So next up, we're
going to go over to Canada next time, but until then,
I hope you enjoyed this episode of Airs Opinion. As always,
and of course don't forget you're listening to the Aaron's

(01:36:14):
Opinion podcast. My name is Aaron Richmond, and until next time,
be well. Everybody, help one person today, help one million
people tomorrow
