Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We are back with the Daily American boo Boop.
Yeah, so that hiatus thepodcast being halted did not
take that long, thanks to youguys.
You know everybody.
I didn't even post it on socialmedia.
I just would tell people whenthey're reaching out about, uh,
you know, coming on or whentheir episodes drop.

(00:22):
And I was just taking a breakbreak because I started a new
job.
Now, as you guys know, I gotterminated from my last position
and then I made some jokesonline about getting fired from
Uber and Lyft.
Like it's extremely hard to getfired from those places.
So I figured most of you that Iknow understood the joke.

(00:45):
Some of you didn't, and thensome had the audacity to hit me
with this.
I'm going back and forth withmy sister-in-law and she goes
what do you know, you just gotfired from uber.
I said, come, are you kiddingme?
I was like that's exactly why Ipost stuff like that.

(01:08):
Like, so people can gossip,call their little friends.
Oh, dan Cianci got fired fromUber.
How'd that happen?
Like, come on, no, I didn't getfired from Uber, or Lyft, for
that matter.
I actually got like 55 starsfrom Uber.

(01:30):
The bottom line is, instead ofhelping, hey, you know, do you
need assistance finding a job?
I can help you.
Or you know, I know this person.
Why don't you reach out to them?
They can get you a job.
No, none of that.
Strictly just hate, hate andgossip From certain individuals.
Now much love to other ones,obviously.

(01:54):
I guess I should try to focus onthe positive.
The positive is I actuallylanded a job.
That's better than my oldposition.
I am just learning, so I don'twant to get ahead of myself and
I've got to remain humble, butI'm the heating and air
conditioning manager for theamericas for a manufacturer, um,

(02:14):
which is pretty cool.
I got fired at one point.
I had he is him as my pronounson linkedin and now I get a
promotion.
Now that's got nothing to dowith me, everything to do with
God.
And here's the deal.
The reason I was halting thepodcast is because I didn't want
these people.

(02:34):
I mean, it's already been.
There's already been some likewhatever, I'm not even going to
get into it, but there's alreadybeen a little bit of distaste
for me.
Part of it has to do with me,but there's already been a
little bit of distaste for me.
Part of it has to do with me, alot of it has to do with them,

(02:56):
but at the end of the day, it iswhat it is.
If I lose this job, either way,the Lord is going to provide.
The only thing I'm reallyconcerned about is if the little
baby is going to be healthy,which I'm pretty sure it should
be, but you never know.
I've haven't lived the mostsinless life and sometimes I
think you know the Catholicchurch uh, you know God's going
to punish me for watching, youknow, pornography or doing

(03:17):
something like that, like I.
It's, it's sick, it's it's.
But you know, at the same timeyou got to turn away from your
sins and that's something I'm.
You know I'm stuck in, notnecessarily the pornography, but
stuck in sinning period.
I called BM we're going to callher Bravo, mike, baby mom
Yesterday to check in and she'scrying and I'm like, oh, what's

(03:41):
going on?
Her mom happened to be drivingand she just left confession.
Now BM is not a Catholicanymore, but you know, of course
I voiced my opinion.
Her mother's name is Trish.
I said, trish, listen to meConfessing your sins to another
man, another human being, insome like creepy gown with a

(04:05):
fake bow tie on't really gonnabehind, like a metal, metal
screen isn't really gonna like.
I don't think that's getting youto heaven.
First of all, jesus flat outsaid confess your sins to
another man, meaning a friend, awoman, a man, anybody.
Well, hold on, not atransgender, but a man or, I

(04:26):
would think, a woman.
You confess, you say them outloud and you're confessing them
On top of that.
He also said when you pray, gointo your closet and shut your
door, because I see what is donein secret, something along
those lines.
So again, let me stop trying tobe a preacher.

(04:47):
But the bottom line is it's gotnothing to do with Catholicism
and these older folks, some ofthem, they just stuck.
They get stuck in their waysand that's okay, I respect it.
If the grandparents want tohave the baby baptized, that's
fine, I'll be there, but that'spretty much where I draw the
line.
That's be baptized, that's fine, I'll be there, but that's
pretty much where I draw theline.

(05:07):
Just out of respect, I'll dothat.
No, catholic school, definitelya relationship with God he will
be brought up with.
Hopefully We'll figure out hiseducation.
I did kind of bury her for asecond.
I felt bad, but I was likeTrish.
She was going on about thesepriests and how her mother came

(05:28):
over from Ireland and all shebrought was her faith.
Well, yeah, trish, I get itSame with my father.
He thought he was coming overhere from a Catholic orphanage
over in Italy where he wanted tostay to the United States with
his friends.
At nine years old he grew up inthat orphanage from zero to
nine.
Oh, you're going over toAmerica with your friends.

(05:49):
And then he just rebelled eversince when he got here and
realized what was going on.
Then he gets married to my momand guess what?
I looked it up in the registryVery sad.
The dude was a pedophile whomarried him.
Yup, st John the Baptist Downin Manioc or Roxborough,

(06:09):
whatever you want to call it.
There's a registry for thesepedophiles.
I don't know if they go to jail.
I think they may just freaking.
They switch parishes or theyswitch Ah shit, what's the word?
They basically get relocated.
It's ridiculous.
But anyhow, I just had a briefstop to New York.

(06:31):
I was going to halt the podcast, pause it for a little bit, but
I already have some episodesrecorded and next week, if
you're in the class of 2006,2007, pw, it's a pretty good
episode with this fantasy, thislive excuse me live fantasy
draft.
I do, yeah and again.
I can't live like walking oneggshells with new jobs, a set

(06:53):
and a third.
I got to be myself.
I know I'm the best in thebusiness.
It just is what it is, and Iknow I always find a means.
Hence I got locked out of theheating and air conditioning
market in the United States, huh.
So a French company hires me.
That's crazy, and in themeantime I Ubered to get by.

(07:16):
I'll find a way to get money,no matter what.
It's not that important to meand I shouldn't have to walk on
eggshells when I'm doing theright thing.
Now, do I do everything right?
Absolutely not.
Do I do everything wrong?
Abso-fricking-lutely.
But you know, just a big-timetransitioning phase for me.
But we're not quitting, we'renot giving up.

(07:38):
I just can't do it.
I'm out.
