(00:00):
In fact, I just missed thatabsolutely pisses me off. I don't think
(00:02):
anybody genuinely understands. We were actuallysitting here, all of us running around
doing shit, and then Woods sitsdown. He's like, wait, what
are you wearing? Bro thisss islike a dog collar? A real one.
What's it like? Who let thedogs out? Who let the dogs
Outoo? Yeah? You did notcapture his energy about that one. See,
(00:26):
that's what I mean. We missedthe moment. I'm just gone.
We really did, but it wasit was hilarious. Cold War These didn't
capture the energy of Woods, youknow, No, No, it's it's
a cheap imitation. M hm.Honestly, actually, we're not even going
to go into the topics I havein the chat. How does that feel?
Because I think that that's a reallyreally interesting thing to talk about.
(00:50):
You are such a in depth characterfor that character. We had numerous conversations
about this where you worked on thatcharacter and broke it down to a science
of how you wanted that character toact. You kind of help them show
case how you wanted him to look. You will choose every thing, and
I wrote much of the dialogue too, so that's yes. Yeah, So
(01:11):
how when you look at those thingsand and they change so much of it
and then they have a conversation andtake you out of it, how does
that feel because that character was stilluniquely you. I don't think they I
think they misunderstood the nature of woodsand you know, really and the community,
(01:32):
and they thought it was the toneof the voice that made the case.
And that just tells me that thedirectors and the people were just inexperienced
it because it's never the vocal quality, it's the the subtext. It's the
subtexts. It's the substance of thedelivery. It's like, what are you
trying to say? And it's impossibleto come in, you know, as
(01:53):
an actor and imitate somebody else,which is impossible, and they asked him
to do it. So I don'treally mean it. Definitely, am I
bitter? No? Do I thinkit would have been a better game had
they incorporated what I knew had Like, I got thirteen years on this guy,
(02:14):
so you know, I know it'syou know, and plus I have
you know, I've written for it, and I've been around the community,
so I know there's nuances that weresacrificed that I thought would be would make
the game a lot better today goingat the block out six whatever kind of
Yeah, I think I think itwould have afforded that a lot more opportunity
(02:35):
to say, oh, hey,by the way, here's something. Here
is connective tissue. You know,I know what, I know, what
kind of story? Where was youknow, where was David Mason? Where's
Mason for thirty years? How didwoods end up in the canister? What
is that? All these things thatquestions that are sitting in aren't answered.
Well we you know, we haveanswers for those, or there were answers
(02:55):
for those, and they never tappedinto that. So that's what it's more
about. Well, I'm disappointed forthe fans that they didn't get to see
the game actually get connected as connectivetissue evolve, you know, and we
started doing the black apps for alittle bit, but we didn't have enough
time or money. But so that'sI'm just disappointed that we didn't get to
(03:17):
sort of complete the circle, youknow. So as far as I'm trying
to replace me, that's hey man, you know, that's it. And
it's also I feel bad for theguy they brought in because and you see
that with Leech too, Like he'sa very very character driven kind of guy.
You're very very similar regardless of howmuch Leech actually wrote. You guys
(03:39):
character wise envision yourself and profit notprofit. Showcase yourself in that light like
you are Frank Woods online. Youjust are. That's who you are.
There is no difference. I'm nota killer, No, I'm not.
I don't I'm not that. No, Like it's who you showcase yourself as.
Yeah. And then Leech was Callof Duty Ghost for how many fucking
(04:01):
years on streaming and twitch and everythingelse, Like he blew up based off
of yeh, Jeff, that onehe got, that was the twenty nineteen
that he came. More before himwas Craig Fairbass before him was that character
for many years. But Jeff,see, Jeff did a very classy thing,
which I always respect him for.Jeff actually reached out to the I
(04:26):
think to Craig and say, heyman, I'm taking over the role.
I just want to say, youknow, I want to just short of
respect for what you built and doyou have any recommendations these do you suggest
anything? And it was a greatconversation. This is Jeff reported to me.
So I have no first hand information, but just in conversation, Jeff
told me this, and I thought, that's a really classy thing. And
(04:49):
that is something that you know.It tells who the manager Jeff is,
but that's something that you know.And also I think nothing goes back to
the guy who played Woods in ColdWar. It all goes back to what
Uh, Activision and the production companywanted. They who knows what they want.
(05:09):
I do not know what happened.I don't know why, but they
made it. They made a decisionabout that, and I don't think it
was just accidental. I think theymade a decision. I don't know what
the parameters were. But so youknow, it's never about it's never about
going back. And you know,vilifying somebody who took a job for God
says I have taken a ton justpeople. I don't think of vilifying it
(05:30):
like that. I'm saying, like, it must be weird to look at
it where you're where you built thestory. It'd be like if JK.
Rowling was in Harry Potter and thenthey replaced her character. It just it
doesn't. It doesn't one to onemakes sense how that works. And obviously
it didn't succeed to the level thatyou were at at least it also let
(05:51):
let's let's put a premise on thisconversation. You know, in all reality
without exaggeration. Man, I'm justan actor, Like this is not important.
I mean what I do is justthis is so I am what a
gift, what a blessing to getpaid for doing what I do. I
(06:13):
mean, I played children's games.So I really can't take myself or my
circumstances very seriously because in the courseof history, what you know, what
do I do? I'm an entertainer. It's entertainment, and I really have
to that is something I wear everyday, Like this is what I do
(06:33):
is a blessing. It is somethingyou do when there's so much time,
energy, food available that people needto be entertained that are not out there.
Chap wouldn't carrying water. I actuallyfind a video game and I get
to be part of this great process. So that and so I really have
a hard time taking myself seriously asbeing wounded or having it I think anything
(06:56):
other than say, gosh, Iwish I could have finished the story.
I wish I could have helped andI wish they had reached out to me
he said, hey, listen,you know what I'm saying, or just
hey, by the way, here'ssome pitfalls. Don't avoid this. Oh
by the way, we did this, Maybe fix this, you know,
be careful about you know what thehitclubs looking. He could just help us
out with this, being sure loveto you know, I'm a fan of
(07:18):
the franchise. So just that thefact that they really didn't try to use
any of my my and I'm directlyrelated to the in terms of friendship with
Dave Anthony, the guy who basicallymade it all happen. So he and
I have been you know, westill are. We just had lunch yesterday.
You're still very close friends who stillstill talk shop, you know.
(07:39):
So it would have been great toaccess all that available knowledge and insight.
And so that's my only disappointment isif we didn't really get to use you
know, I have all this Iit's like having Italian currency or French francs.
You can't use them anymore. Tonsof everything I want to use,
(08:01):
but it's you're only taking euros now. Oh but I got I got five
thousand film. So that's how itis. They have a currency that just
I want to use it, butthere's no where, no where to spend
it. No. I just Ithink that story isn't necessarily unique after everything
we dealt with for such a longtime, with everybody getting canned for little
things and everything else. But it'sso interesting because that character was so uniquely
(08:26):
you that it's just interesting that theythought that they could continue it. It's
just odd to me. Yeah,it just really is. What would be
great if you could get the directoror the producers from from Raven whatever Raven
Games to come on and talk aboutit. Now, that'd be a show
worth watching them there having explained thementality, why wouldn't you use this resource?
(08:50):
It's variable? Yeah, you know, that would be an interesting conversation.
Well, even with Leech, likethey got rid of him over shit
he said before, and that tome just you see the Ship with Shane
Gillis going back on SNL recently,I see a lot of those things where
people are just saying Eddy ship.They say Edgi shit all the time.
Like, whether you're a comedian oryou're just an actor, you're gonna say
(09:11):
something that's off color to somebody atsome point. And if that has recorded.
Now all of a sudden, you'refucking can for everything that to me
just rubs me the wrong way.And like, I don't fucking get it,
dude. I'm I'm I'm generating uhsome new content right now, and
I've got to replace the voices fromUH that I'm using. And there's a
(09:33):
guy who's who's whose Asian has athick accent, you know, And I
try to do it myself, like, oh, I can't do this and
put it up because this somebody willbe offended. Somebody will, you know.
I'm trying to generate some business here, and so I'm actually I got
a friend of mine who's Korean.Hey, could you just say this with
a bit of an accent for me? Because I can't do it. If
(09:56):
I do it, it'll be it'llbe deemed quite you know, an offense.
Think no. And that shit isso interesting because you see a lot
of YouTubers like Let's players and stufflike that. They'll do different voices for
every character and kind of just integratepeople and stuff like that. Like if
you do that on a mask skilland release that to even like Netflix or
(10:16):
something like that, that's unacceptable.You can't voice an entire cast by yourself,
even if you like vocally can evenif you're you're great with dialect and
shit like that, you can't dothat by yourself anymore. It's unacceptable.
Yeah, it's it's Yeah, there'sgonna be somebody that jump up and have
a problem with it. And thoseare small battles that I don't need to
(10:39):
fight, you know. Those arethings that I'll find somebody. I got
out of a corner and there's athere's a restaurant on the street. I
know some of the guys, Heyjust say this for me, you know,
and that's this easily fixed. Sothat's a battle I'm not going to
fight because I don't need to orrather say maamnish for something that much larger
than that. You know. Yeah, it's smart. It's also like a
(11:01):
weird thing where it used to belike just acceptable things you could say or
do or act, and like I'mrewatching Seinfeld. There's like Hitler jokes and
white supremacy jokes and I'm watching Seinfeldgo, well, you can't say that
anymore and just feels so weird whereit's like it was mainstream. Same thing
with law comedian, same thing withalmost everything, and like, sure,
(11:22):
it's good that we're all less offensivethese days, but now we've definitely overshot
it, and then you just haveto kind of be whatever about it.
Yeah, the whole being offended thing. I think we have to get along.
That's just there's a code of pendencythat's happened. I think around definitely
(11:46):
entertainment elsewhere as well, where whenwe start to define ourselves by other people's
words, their thoughts, their actions, we are now slave to the universe
because we need to control what everybodythinks, doesn't say, so we can
be comfortable. And when comfort isyour god, when it's your king,
(12:11):
that's how it gets manet and crazy, because now you can't you get a
control else's speech and what they doand how they think. And you know
that is that is the pathway intowhat happened and you know in Russia,
China and throughout history, you know, controlling people's thoughts. You can't think
this, Well, we're at aplace now where you know, how many
(12:33):
years away are we from having amachine an actually read your thought? You
know, I think I think muscan pick up thoughts. So how long?
Yeah, so how long before wehave our thoughts are monitored. I
mean they they are. Our expressionof thought is monitored, But how long
before we actually have our actual thoughts, like what we were thoughts? Yeah,
(12:58):
so that's and that's not science fictionanymore. That's actually happening, I
think. So I heard this point, and I loved this point because it
didn't make a lot of sense untilI heard somebody else say it. So
I'm not going to take credit forit, but think about it. If
you're driving down the road right nowand a cop wants you to pull over,
you have to pull over for them, or they have to physically stop
(13:20):
you with spike strips or whatever.They have to physically do something. And
as we move, what three yearsnow, they're going to be indicating that
everybody has to have electric cars.Think what stops a signal from that cop
car from saying turn off? That'sit, And it's not your choice anymore.
(13:41):
It's not your choice to be agood person or a bad person.
They're saying, either you choose whatwe expect you to or there's a big
ass fucking problem. Let me closedo it. I get it. Yeah,
but I thought that was really fuckingweird because I'm like, shit,
that makes a lot of fucking sense, fucking point, but where comes Let
(14:03):
for me, when you where therubber meets the road, is that when
you put this authority into the handsof mere mortals, that's the problem.
Like, government is not this thing, uh there. Government is the d
m V, it's the post office, it's it's the people who who sort
(14:24):
of administry, people who activate policiesin your life. Policemen, you know,
judges, These are the These arethe power broken. These are people
of real power because they actually decidewhen and where this law is enforced or
not enforced. And that's an issuebecause you know, I love cops,
(14:46):
I'm around, I play hockey cops. I know a lot of cops,
A lot of these guys. Iwouldn't want them making a decision in a
crisis. Guy. Know, they'reoverworked, they're drunks, they're they're stressed
out, They've got bad childhood's gotbad marriages. They're bringing a lot of
stress into a situation. When allof a sudden they add some other stress,
they can easily make a bad decisionbecause they're human. Not only a
(15:11):
bad decision, they're making a lifealtering decision, possibly for every single person
in this situation, and it's likewe're expecting cops and people within power to
be perfect, but they're not perfect. Like I remember dealing with shit and
they're like, oh, yeah,you know, if a judge takes this
case, if a lawyer takes thiscase, they have to accuse themselves if
(15:31):
they know innately part of the caseor a person in the case, or
they have bias against it. Howdoes anybody not recuse themselves from every case?
If you're a man, and they'relike, okay, so this PDF
file is arrested and we're gonna havea big ass fucking problem. My answers
always put that person in jail.If you can prove to me that he
did it, that's all you haveto do. I'm going to tell you.
(15:54):
You go, like, I don'tunderstand where this way that we do
things now is the is the answeranymore? Because everybody has biased, every
single person, and we're so hardstance and how we see things now,
we're flipping everybody to burden essentially.Well, the thing is, I think
what I'm seeing is we have reducedpolitics and government into being a feelings.
(16:23):
Yeah, it's like sports, eitheryou win your team, it's not about
let's let's have jet let's make thisthing, Let's figure why happen, how
do we find cure, how dowe cost for cure? But it comes
together and finds like the good solutionsfor everyone. I solve this now,
it's like it doesn't matter if theysolve it or not. But I need
(16:44):
my team needs to win, myguy needs to win. And like we
had an adversarial court system, andI'm not sure that's the best way because
someone you get somebody with a bigger, better stick, they're gonna win,
which is why court. You know, many bad people get off on on
on top of charges, and somepeople who should should get a break do
(17:06):
not, right because with the topof there being biases towards certain sexes in
certain cases and everything else, likethere's there's a bias everywhere. You know,
it goes in every direction. Butmy point is, since it's adversarial,
the guy with the biggest hammer,the big who can afford the biggest
hammer, Well you need money forthat. And then it's also it's corrupted
in the sense that for the lastfifty I mean I think forever Shakespeare said
(17:32):
it right. First you need todo just kill all the lawyers. Lawyers
exist solely to make other lawyers rich. I mean, I know, I
know people go through civil suits andit cost them more for their lawyer to
pay out a couple thousand bucks ina fine or damages, but their lawyer
costs thirty thousand dollars to get themfirst a two thousand dollars settlement. So
(17:55):
that's what the corruptions I think thatthey just they make it so dangerous that
okay, if you don't, ifyou don't pay this out now, then
it'll cost you a million dollars andtake your business away. Okay, Well
here here's and this is a knownactivity there are there are law firms in
LA specialize in stealing money, especiallywith the ADA stuff. In California.
(18:17):
I know a couple of companies thathave getten this zapped. Every year.
They get something stupid like, oh, the widget on your website didn't work,
and so somebody goes around and looksfor websites on small businesses cano don't
have it retainers and they get,oh, look at it, they don't
have this adya widget, and theyfile the complaint. Never having want to
(18:37):
buy something. You know, itcould be a women's lingerie and it's it's
it's you knows. Mister Gonzalez saidthis like a mane. He's never been
on the website. And so whathappens is there's lawyers that basically hire these
guys to go, we'll find thesethese vulnerabilities, and there's no cure for
costs either. If they don't say, oh, by the way, you
have thirty days to fix this,they just go right the lawsuit. Yep,
(18:57):
you know. And that's like,no, Actually, I remember,
I remember dealing even with my workerscompcase. My workers compcase, I paid
fifteen percent my lawyer one hundred thousanddollars case yep, more than likely never
able to physically work again because ofproblems with my neck yep, and fifteen
percent. But at the same time, it's like, do you risk a
(19:18):
multi billion dollar company beating you overthe head? Yep, we're fifteen percent?
Which one do you Which one doyou pay? Do you pay possibly
getting nothing or do you pay thebill? It kind of made a lot
more sense. Well, yeah,I mean you again. You know,
I as an actor, I cameto a realization when I first started I
(19:40):
guest scarped upset because I never hadan agent or very really you have an
agent or manager or something like that. And then I get very upset because
they you know, they would takethey would take you know, ten to
fifteen percent of what you make.But then I realized, you know what,
when people make jobs, when peoplemake money off of me, they
(20:00):
like me a lot better. LikeI was making good money for my commercial
agent, I could walk in thereand break a dish and they wouldn't care.
Oh hey it is another one becauseI'm making the money. So you
know, that's how that's how thiscapitalism works. I'm okay with that,
but I'm not okay with you know, and if a lawyer gets you your
money and he takes a fee andhe I'm okay with that. It's just
(20:22):
when they take good laws, lawswith good intention, but the ultimately but
the end result is the consequences.They use it to hurt innocent people with
it. Well, hey, youdidn't put this ondget on, and let's
say, ada complying, So we'regonna take your money now. But wait
a minute, just there's got tobe a say, give me thirty days
to fix this before you're allowed toSusanbodke, California, they get you right
(20:45):
away. And again that's and itseems like the more we go online,
the more we turn everything to justan online conversation, we are disconnecting the
availability for everybody to know every singlelittle regulation unless you find the exact fucking
docket on the on a website orsomething like that, it's fucking insane.
(21:06):
Yeah, and it's again, butthat's what I'm saying about lawyers. And
you know, I run a bus, I have the business, and it's
unbelievable how difficult it is to keepup with all the things that needed.
Just in California, I got eighthundred dollars here, I got since twenty
th I got old statement information andit's it's it's non non stop, and
(21:27):
it costs a couple of thousand bucksjust to exist as a corporation in California.
I mean that, you know,so I end I'm making it go
to Delaware and ship like that andcorporate. But my point is that's that
is that's still lawyers. You gotto hire a lawyer or somebody who knows
the law. And it's just sothey have this you know, uh,
(21:48):
it's documents and have a language andno one speaks you know, it's like
code, and so they do predatorypart about it too, or like if
you haven't paid to understand the code, well then no layman and no person
just wants to honestly start a businesscan do it right. And then it's
just traps and pitfalls everywhere. AndYouTube they were kids. Yeah, they
(22:11):
were entrapping kids in perpetual contracts withlow payouts on purpose. That way they
could make millions and take all ofthe money from the people that were earning
it, just because it was anew fucking place to earn money. And
it's hilarious. It's hilarious the waythat these people kind of just propagate things
and kind of stick their head intothings and be like, I'm not doing
anything bad, I promise. It'sjust like, dude, can we stop
(22:33):
having bad faith? Like, andthat's a shitty thing. It's like it
seems like everybody is so far uptheir own ass that they don't understand anybody
else. That's that's my hardest thingwith an agent or something like that.
I feel like me being in thein the room to get the thing gets
a thing more accomplished than having somebodysell me. Because I'm an autistic dipshit
(22:56):
who absolutely fucks up way too much. But me and you having a video
conversation or face to face conversation,I could sell you on it pretty easily.
It's just which side is it goingto be? Yeah? Well,
I mean again, it's in termsof I know a lot of that.
A lot of people ask me ifthey want to be actors, and I
say, okay, you better havea job first, because you get But
(23:19):
also it's like I I yeah,it's interesting all most until you become a
star, and until you what it'slike. You have two actors kind of
actors. You have an actor thathas skills and they can take the story
from point A to point B.They can sell the they can sell the
script, they can sell the prepcharacter, they can support the story in
(23:44):
the stars. Now that you canmake a career out of it, you
can do Okay, you can makea few bucks, you can have a
nice car, I can live livecomfortably, at least you could back in
the day. And then the otherkind of actor is somebody who their name
brings people and put them in thesea. You're the reason that gets made.
That's a career. When the phonecalls people are calling you because you
(24:07):
can make you can help the investorsinvest the money. Oh, we love
it. That's Brad Pittshaw. I'minvesting that movie. And that's a career.
And most agents you need that foryour agent. All the other agents
basically they just they take each theyget a breakdown, and they submit your
(24:27):
headshot and then it's a lottery.So all you're paying for someone to do
is to submit your head shot ina lottery. And then you along with
another thousand guys who look just likeyou, who's done everything. You know,
how do you get the gig?How do you differentiate yourself? Your
agent is only as strong as yourresume, and you know that's that's reality.
(24:49):
And so when you're paying them,you're paying them hopefully to negotiate and
take care of all the nuances aroundyour contract. But now in the world
where we have you have, thereis no nor middle class. You work
for scale or you are the star. But the days of a quote back
(25:10):
in then, you know, backin the mid two thousands, I had
a quote I can make. Okay, here's what my day rate is.
Okay, it's your day rate,and they meet your day rate even with
the call duty games they I hada day rate, and now they okay,
we'll give you scale scale and half. I go all right, well,
scale's pretty good, but you can't. You can't make a living scale.
(25:33):
You just can't, you know.So that's Yeah. It's just really
interesting to me kind of learning aboutall this ship because it seems like a
lot of the YouTubers, especially thehigher end ones, the people above a
million or so, they are inthat lower level of stardom, almost like
if you get Peutie Pie and putthem on a TV show, people are
(25:55):
going to ship themselves. You putsomeone further, Yeah, are the first
two episodes and if and if itis not compelling, and again I don't
think, I don't think the audiencetransfers from that content into what it called
long form content or TV content.Being a personality is different than plugging yourself
(26:19):
into a story and making it work. You know. It seems like a
lot of the people online would succeedin something like a reality show where they're
always on or the camera's on andthey're able to be themselves. But if
it's a character based thing, thatis where they're going to struggle, because
that's not what they do. Theysell themselves, which is where where I
(26:41):
think a lot of people kind ofwould be like, oh yeah, well
Pautie Pie would translate Okay, whereis he going to translate Survivor or Days
of Our Lives? I think Survivorsten times. Well again, when you
say translate, you know, willit will it translate to destination entertainment because
as a TV is going back toback in the day. Okay, night,
(27:04):
Thursday night, we got f Troop, you know, Hogan's Heroes on
Wednesday. And you know, nowwith the advent of streaming, you can
watch Game of Thrones when well HBOhas a little bit different model, but
basure, you can watch any showyou want, go on Prime. You
can binge watch the entire season ifyou want. It depends on when you
want to watch it, right,and you know, you you pay a
(27:25):
premium to get the show first ifyou're way long enough, like if you're
one year behind, like I am, oh, shall watch the Whost Show
and on my on my script exactly. So that's that changed everything. For
people to show up, it's gotto be Game of Thrones. It's like,
oh, someday night Game of Thrones. HBO about a time gated thing
(27:45):
anymore. Nobody cares. Yeah,no one cares. Nobody needs to be
any place. But I think you'regoing to see two things happen. I
think the I think the subscription serviceshave figured it out that they need to
start charge for commercials, and yousee more and more like Primes got commercials
all the time. Neflix, Ithink I think I think they broke the
(28:07):
streaming service way. It was,yeah, uh so you had cable,
which was every wire going into yourhouse had cable. You had to pay
for it and everything else, andit was ad based and you based.
They got paid twice. Now they'rerealizing, look at this dude chugging a
chugging a big old fucking vodka.Again. They went through it and they
(28:30):
made it that way. Now,oh we're going to run to streaming.
Then you had Netflix pop up andbecome the biggest thing in streaming. Now
everybody instead of going to Netflix andselling their content there, they're now selling
you your content individually again, justlike we tried to get away away from
with cable to begin with. Andobviously guys that wasn't vodka. Woods made
a joke about it like two orthree times ago when he was on the
(28:53):
drinking glass bottles. I drink waterout of glass bottles only. I don't
drink plastic. I just thought itwas funny, nice I called back from
four years ago. Yeah. Ialways get busted for that, but yeah,
no, I think that's really funnybecause they're there's how many fucking subscription
services now, when if you lookback five years ago, there was two,
(29:15):
there's two one. It didn't evenmatter yet. I think the new
trend is the vertical, the verticalintegrations. Like Apple, not only did
they have their own platform and theirown production companies, now they're creating their
own content and you're going to seethis vertical integration. I think what's going
to happen is originals. You havethings like House of Cards and stuff like
(29:36):
that that fucking exploded well HBO,you know, and the vertical integration is
going to be you. You havethe well with Apples unique because they have
the device that you delivered to youriPhone, your Apple computer, your your
pad, your iPad, and thenso they have it from top to bottom.
They own the music, they ownedthe content, they know the means
(29:56):
of delivery, they owned the devicewhich you do it. So basically they
have become their own universe, andat some point I would I would I
would adventure to say within three tofive years, Apple will no longer.
There'll be some type of religion.You either have to have an Apple universe
(30:18):
and you're not allowed anywhere else oron the same computer. I get to
feel my Apple computers will not allowme to go to They'll be AI.
I would say, no, youcan't go watch YouTube on this is an
Apple computer. You have to watchour version of that. So I think
there's restrictions coming up. They weredoing that stuff with the App store and
stuff like that. They were chargingexorbitant fees. I think it was like
(30:38):
thirty percent of your purchases on theApple Store was then taken from the provider
to begin with, and then theywere banning every other available app store,
so you could download third party appstores from the internet, but it would
ban your phone. Apple takes whenI do cameos, Yeah, Camo takes
twenty five percent of what I may. Apple takes another twenty five percent away
(31:02):
I make YEP, which is insane, right, Apple takes if you use
Apple Pay. It's like, whyam I getting ten dollars for this?
They charged twenty five. Oh,because Apple takes a bite. Yep,
that's funny. And now yeah that'sa good one. Yeah that's good.
Yeah, man, bites dog.See I'm smart and know stuff. I'm
smart. No, It's just it'sweird that those things are so integrated within
(31:27):
each other that they're getting shot down. The fact that that went to court
and Epic Games fought against Apple,to me is insane. The fact that
two titans within that industry of electronicsand gaming and stuff follow each other.
They've removed Fortnite and all of thegames from Epic on iPhone completely just because
(31:48):
they didn't want to deal with thatshit. They're like, I created the
content, I sold the content.Yeah, you get to host it.
That doesn't mean you get to maketwenty five percent off of everything I fucking
sell. It's a lot of fuckingmoney. It's it's an amazing billions of
dollars. But what are you gonnado? I mean you you really have
to, like you said, whenall of a sudden you can only buy
(32:09):
electric cars and then the outlaw gascars, what are you gonna do?
Now? They got the switch andwant they want your car to stop hit
a switch and that is the problemis back to come full circle. Who
is the guy or gale? He'sflicking the switch. You have magnets at
(32:30):
every stop light. We're gonna justshut your car off completely. Oh,
let's turn off the magnet when thelight goes right, when the light goes
green, boom on. Yeah,see you. We're gonna face some interesting
challenges within within the next three years. I mean the election coming up from
now until November is going to bea sprint, like I don't I have
(32:53):
no idea what's gonna happen next.I have no idea because and it seems
like Trump has more and more thingsare brought against him. He's getting stronger,
he's becoming more belligerent of a candidate. He's shoving it in your face
and he's saying, hey, wellthis was it's less him. It's like
(33:14):
small like guys like me, peoplelike you know, people own businesses,
people who are getting stomped on byall this regulation. So there they feel
like it's them on trial. It'sthe same idiocy that we have to go
through when we go to the dm V or we got to deal with
lawyer about your your thing. Ohmy god, we're saying it happened to
him, Well, were going toyou know, he can humanized him and
(33:36):
that was something that we missed alot of h before his presidency. Is
he was this big guy who livedin New York City and told people they
were fired. Now we're seeing,Oh, he paid his porn star out
of the wrong fucking account like adipshit, like we all would have Like
can we be honest and say thatwe would have fucked up the accounting on
something? Well, let let let'smake a lesson pay the wrong thing in
(34:00):
that if you're going to go afterhim for the real estate thing, and
for this I will in this case. They then they they must go after
They must take the same amount ofenergy and money. And look at the
Hillary, look into a bond Clinton, what they you know if they dug
hard enough, you don't think they'regoing to find some discrepancy. Well,
(34:23):
Hunter's laptop thug jail? Yes,so here we are just drugs by themselves?
Is jail for what five or sixyears? And how is you know
getting an NDA to protect? Howis that not a legitimate in this day
and a how's that not a legitimate? Can't pay an expense to keep somebody
(34:44):
from saying bad shit about you.Here's some money, go away. It's
greater you at the minimum. Iagree completely. That's what I'm saying.
Is like as a whole if ifyou pay somebody incorrectly. There are things
that everybody does within a business ora job or a day to day you
put that shit on the wrong card. You know how many people I used
to know that would get gas cardsfrom work and be like, oh I
(35:05):
put my personal car on the gascard instead of my truck for work.
Fuck I fucked up. Do youthink anybody admits that? No, No,
you fucking say, oh I luckedout. I got fifty dollars this
week, and you move the fuckon. But also to what end again?
If you with the real estate stuff, you after, every person who's
(35:29):
ever sold the house has overveiled theproperty. If you have it, then
you're a fucking liar, all right. Everyone wants to get more money from
what they have. Every time Isaw a car, I know I think
the car is worth forty ground,Well give it thirty eight. You know
it's a negotiation. Yeah, everyperson pump them up as much as you
possibly can, because you know thatthey have money. On the fucking bone
(35:51):
that they can cut off, andyou want to get as much of a
cut off as possible. And nobodyand nobody was a victim. The bank
got paid back. No one's avictim here, but yet they're and so
the same thing here, like whoareally keeping a porn a porn porn star
who exploits her body? Is youknow as well to exploit him? Get
(36:12):
her we have a campaign and runshut her up? You know what?
I get that? Fine, Kennedy. What did they pay to shut Maryland
up? You know? I meanyou can go Bill Clinton. It's getting
blow jab in the way. Imean, come on, this is like,
this is so infantile. Well yeah, even with you, you have
two big ones within the stock markettoo, which are illegal, Like this
(36:34):
is a legal ship that is directlytold to us they cannot do this.
You have Hillary with cow futures.Where the fuck has she ever seen a
cow other than in the mirror?I don't understand, but she hit it
every single time when it went upand it went down. And then now
you have Nancy Pelosi who's hit fuckingwhat you might call it in video?
Where the fuck did Nancy Pelosi understandor know what the fucking video even is
(36:58):
let alone able to call the futuresand everything perfectly for the past three years.
Have you seen the changeing in videostock? Oh yeah, me,
Yeah, it's insane. But atthe end of the day, we look
at it comes down to who whohas got who is next to you and
are they are they powered by thelaw, and do they have the ability
(37:23):
to reason, Okay, you're breakingthe law, I'm going to take action
against you. What gives them theright? Here's the thing that's happening that
that really concerns me. And youknow, when I've been really watching this
because we have a big homeless problemhere and a lot of migrant problem here
in LA and I we talked aboutthat last week. There was a guy
(37:44):
walking down in l A walking aroundwith somebody's leg that he took and was
eating it leg And that is that'swhat you see. There's so much more
happening than that. That's all thatyou get to gets through the Gilligan that.
But what I'm afraid of is thatwhen they start arming these people and
(38:05):
making they want to make police officershere in LA because you know, again
a good idea, but bad consequence. Well, because the population is so
high here that the the immigrants,the illegal immigrants, are afraid to come
forward for police protections. Okay,well we'll give you your own police force.
But that that gives them, thatgives that hands of guy a gun.
(38:27):
I can't carry a gun out thehands of guy a gun. We'd
have at vetted. We have noidea where he's from. And now he
gets jurisdiction over me driving my car, and who knows why he's stopped me.
He could They may come from aculture that that's stealing money as a
cop is something that they think isOkay, this is very many years ago
we were afraid of them. Isthirteen coming up from Mexico? Why the
fum? Yeah? Again this isconjecture. But I as I watch more
(38:53):
and more footage, as even doctorPhil, for God's I never liked doctor
Phil. And now all of asudden he's got he's he's thrown all this
all this really infant. You know, he did a trip down on the
border and he and I trust himbecause he has no reason to lie about
this stuff. To me, He'salways been on the left side. He's
(39:13):
been he's been when you watch yourselfabout China buying up farm and near military
facilities. When you watch his documentaryon on the the Invasion of Migration,
it's like, holy shit, ifthis guy's pointing it out, then I
really, I really gotta I gottatake notice. So I started paying attention
to a deeper and deeper. Isaid, this is there's there's a momentum
(39:35):
here that is not covered. Andthe violence is happening in Ireland, the
violence is happening in Germany. It'soften the same thing. When you bring
in this and when I see howthese people are living, it's it's it's
horrible, it's in humane, andit's not their fault because someone fed them
in this idea, Oh, goto America, They'll give you a job
and money. You live, youknow, you never have to work with
(39:55):
they in your life. Kind ofthis this fantasy of coming here. So
you can't blame the individual who madethe trick. I blame the people who
are sort of make trying to convincethem to come, who are employing them
to come. And I'm like,WHOA, how do you ngaslighting this situation?
What happens when they get here andthere is we don't have the ability
(40:17):
to absorb eight nine million people.Look at Sweden, chere mean they're all
they got populations who can't be trained, who can't be absorbed, and now
they make their own pockets. They'llget London, a lot of the EU.
You have a lot of the MiddleEastern migrants come in there and almost
take over full entire cities or atleast segregate complete sections of cities where they're
(40:42):
instituting Sharia law and everything else.Right, and you see all the things
that happen in Cologne and everything else. But I want to look at this
at a more kind of generalized,fun kind of way. And you know,
everybody's talking with Fallout, coming Outand everything else, the TV show.
Oh, everybody kind of has asthat they have built into them.
You have stats from where you're fromand what state you're from. What is
(41:05):
your state's stat buffs that it givesyou? What does living in California give
you? What does living in Washingtongive you? I like the d buffs?
Oh honestly, yeah, you eitherhave like money penalty, you have
like a drug addiction penalty, crimepenalty. Uh, intelligence probably down.
(41:29):
I don't know, well, Iwould assume Washington, you would have the
availability for that intelligence to go upwith how many people work on the tech
sector and stuff. Yeah there's here, but all texts and like brain drained
and stuff. It's just under itseems like they're they're running on autopilot almost
mh. So New York I thinkby far is the having the dog in
(41:54):
you, like you have that grittinesswhere you're just able to kind of shove
your head into shit and know thatyou have to deal with it and kind
of just accept it. And itdoesn't it doesn't seem like a lot of
people. I think the people whodid that are moving out, at least
from people with my friends in NewYork a long time New Yorkers saying oh
(42:14):
fuck this, No, no,I mean they're there are long time.
That is a lot of parts ofthe city are are vacant, you know,
and they're being inhabited by people whocannot take the opportunity. If there's
no if there's no foot traffic,there can be no businesses in this.
And as you who's going to howdo you employ another million people who when
(42:37):
the city can't employ you know,unskilled and undeveloped workers. As it is,
now you add another million to thatcity. Now that there are wards
in the state, the city isstupid like price fise. So I live
in upstate. I'm paying one thousanddollars for a thousand square feet of a
three bedroom, two bath apartment.Right if I got a three bedroom,
(43:00):
two bath apartment in New York Cityor Long Island or even Jersey just counting
Jersey too, I'm paying at minimumforty five hundred dollars a month YEP minimum
wage in New York City twenty dollarsan hour, minimum up here sixteen.
So the thing is is you're stillnot even making enough money to make it.
(43:21):
You're doubling your your cost output andyou're still not able to do it.
But I think that that grind ofI live here, and the sense
of pride of where you are,it seems like New York City and New
York State as a whole has thata hell of a lot more than other
states other than like people that aresuper super fruity in LA And then you
(43:43):
have people in Texas everywhere else doesnot give a fuck about the state they're
from. It's like, I'm meeverything else, Fuck it, I don't
care. They don't have pride anymore. So I don't know. I think
that that's kind of like I woulddisagree with that. I think when you
go to like Wyoming, Montana,you know how many people have you heard
of that, it's like, yeah, I'm from Wyoming. Oh, they
(44:06):
don't leave a lot. Yeah,they don't leave, but they're also proud.
They're just like at least Novel nevertalked to anybody from Wyoming. Yeah,
but when you go to Wyoming,it's like you no, only there's
this understanding that this is our life. My my buddy Darwin was living in
Wyoming and he he had moved backto Vegas. Did he have what's that?
(44:28):
What shape beak? Did he havebeak? Yeah? Darwin from the
Galopagos Island. Yeah, you alllike zact just fucking whift. It was
there. I just missed, youknow, I just I just say,
have no, I have no eyesycAnd see the ball coming? Is it
right behind me? He threw mea meat ball and I just fan on
it. Anyways, he misses it. He wish he'd go back, but
(44:52):
the people are there there and youreally can't. Yeah, and it's a
long story, but yeah, Montanapeople you know, but except they hate
they hate the fact that it's beingrun overrun by Californians. You know,
I California a few years ago andbosemen looked like I was walking around in
(45:17):
Westwood. You know. It's justit's like in the girl who was the
nurse on set, she's like fromMontana, says, yeah, we hate
you fuckers, We just fucking hateyou. You've ruined Montana because we can't.
She's like she lives thirty miles outsideof the city because everything in the
city is so expensive. And shegoes that, we just hate you people.
(45:38):
You know, we can't buy landinghere. We can't buy land all
the best properties it's gone, theski areas or she goes, they people
come, they have these properties,they come to two weeks a year and
there's no there's money, no moneyflowing. They don't want to pay taxes
on their properties. And they haveall this influence because they bought other politicians.
(45:59):
She goes, we hate you.Yeah. I think it's happening more
and more Arizona has that. Ithink it's like it's like the weird gentrification
people aren't talking about where it's like, yeah, but it's also the rural
areas. It's everyone getting priced outby California refugees. Then they bring their
shitty policy. New York City isdoing the same thing here. So this
(46:19):
apartment that I rent now, I'vebeen in for eight years now, seven
years now, that's the link forthe IQ thing. I figured when there's
a split ticket. We were dealingwith seven hundred dollars rents for a three
bedroom apartment nine hundred if you livecloser to town and stuff like that,
like I live twenty minutes out oftown. Is that crazy? No,
(46:40):
but it's shitty if you don't knowhow to kind of accommodate that. Now,
after COVID and everything else, therents for one bedrooms right now are
twelve to fourteen hundred dollars. LikeI'm still paying less than everybody else,
And it's like, this is disgusting. This is disgusting, Like, honestly,
it's gross. COVID everything got fucked. Yeah, it's the and I
(47:07):
am. We can talking a lotof things, a lot of it.
You know, it's secondhand because Ijust get the information from all different places.
But there are also the issue ofcorp of investment companies buying up houses
and buying property and not just investmentcompanies. You have companies that are owned
by Chinese companies that are company andbuying full full called the sacks full entire
(47:29):
towns and everything on land. Yeah, well, at some point we have
to cut this ship. I thinkthere's a popular a fews about ten years
ago in in California, because Iremember I was I was living in wes
Highwood at the time, and someonecame by and put a thing on the
(47:51):
on the house. It's a nicehouse, and they said, well,
you want to buy your house.It's not for sale. He says,
well, what would you sell itfor? It's not for sale. So
I finally took I took you totake a meeting. I don't hoot.
And it was a company that representsand they did real estate tourism. They
have a bunch of folks from Chinacome over and put them out of a
bus and they would drive around ina bus, very very fancy bus,
(48:14):
and they would go and look atproperty and buy property, three or four
houses at a time. And that'swhat they would do. They go in
there, just drive around California andjust buy property. And it's called the
real estate tourism. Now we didthe same thing. I mean, this
is where it gets really you gottabe we got to be very careful here.
(48:34):
I know people who go to Greeceand they're buying up towns now,
or they go into buy an island. I mean Tom Hanks bought an island.
Apparently we do the same thing,and we we go to other countries
and we buy property there. Portugalis a big destination right now. We
we personally like me or you shouldbe allowed to do that. If we
want to go live in China,go ahead, go buy a house in
(48:57):
China. You want to own ahouse here too, buy a house here.
But we should not send Walmart overto Portugal and ship to buy townhouses.
That doesn't make sense to me rightright? You see what I'm saying,
Like there's that disconnect that we're allowingsomething that is being detrimental to our
people. Like if somebody wants tocome here and provide to the GDP and
(49:17):
that town or whatever whatever vague levelyou want to look at, absolutely,
person, not company company. Ifthey want to start a company and bring
it here. To start a companyand bring it here, why are you
doing real estate business? Almost entirelywith China that that to me seems disgusting
and discredited, like it's just weird. Well, get me carefou that word
(49:44):
weird because it doesn't define much forme. I think, I think we
always have to look at there's it'shappening in. There's two realities. One
is this is commerce and this iswhat we asked for. This is good.
Well we didn't ask for is forthe for tricks to be done that
limit the ability of an economy tofunction. So you know a lot of
(50:09):
the farmers like, okay, Iexplained this when you when you bring in
really cheap labor. Right, here'san example I hed. So basically China
is doing to Hollywood right now whatAmerican manufacturers did to China for forty years.
So China, there's a lot ofChinese production, lots of effect.
(50:31):
I'm doing one on Friday just tosee what it's like. It's called it's
called vertical integration. It's called verticalvertical content. So basically they shoot it
for TikTok and it goes on vertically, and their pay rates are are less
(50:52):
than they're less than minimum wage.So basically, if you're a minimum wage
is twenty bucks an hour, soyou get it'd be So basically, it's
it's less a minimum wage or maybea little bit better. And there's so
little work for middle class actors thatpeople are lining up to do this.
They're getting really high quality talent workingfor you'd be shocked to the people working
(51:15):
for four hundred bucks a day.Shocked that that got hit his own fucking
TV series. Now he's working forfour hundred bucks a day, because it's
that hard. If I could workfor four hundred dollars a day, I'd
be happy. Well yeah, butbut remember you it's not like you're working
every day. You get if youwork, If you work forty days a
year, it's a lot for anactor, for an average actor. If
(51:36):
you get forty days a year,you know you need to make it.
You need to make a couple ofgrand days just to make ends meet.
So it makes four hundred dollars youwork twice a month, that's not that's
nothing. Then you pay out youragency managers taxes, so yeah, it's
again, it sounds like a lotof money to realize you're not working every
day, but you get taxed likeyou are. But what has happened is
they So the Chinese are making allthis content and they're just you know,
(52:00):
here with what we're paying and takethe job or not. And they're because
this content is taking up space.You know, there's only so many hours
in a day, there's only somany views, right eyeballs, and so
it's taking up space and you eithertake, okay, better get a couple
of days and make yourself, youknow, four or five hundred dollars.
You have cash. But it's likethe it's like sweatshops. You got actors
(52:24):
who are you know, young actorscome in and are doing these things.
They will never have a life ora career because they can't make enough money.
It's like it's like work into likeflipten Burgers. You're never going to
own a house working forty hours aweek at McDonald's because by you know,
you're making seven hundred bucks. Seeyou come home five hundred dollars a week.
You can't live on that. It'snot possible. And that's where this
(52:45):
our industry is going. Either you'reyou know, you're you're the star of
swat, or you're out here grubbingaround trying to find you know, I
got lucky, I got in atthe end of it all. So I'm
okay. But when I looked onso a lot of young actors, I'm
like, oh my god, Idon't how you get a do it.
You gotta have a job. Yougotta have another job, because it's not
(53:06):
you can't sustain yourself with your actingskill anymore. I had a really weird
ADHD thought and I was like,Okay, I'm going to google this because
of the topic that Verlas sent tome earlier this week, and I'm going
to bring up the shit on thescreen for them in post. But I
will. I'll show you guys thisgraph that is the average IQ by state
(53:29):
as of this year. The factthat California is one of the lowest rated
states within IQ is insane to mebecause California was one of these states that
was just propagated as one of thebiggest and best places of all time.
And you look at this graph andso many of the states where you're like,
oh, they're people who are kickingrocks and have lower available people in
(53:53):
those states they have a higher IQ. So I was like, okay,
so let me double the double downon this and check to see what it
was before. We're decreasing with anaverage estimated IQ across the entire country.
And that's where this gets interesting becauseI wonder, genuinely if us dropping in
(54:17):
IQ is not just environmental, we'redoing it to ourselves because we're not challenging
ourselves. We're not asking the questionswhat if, why, how does this
work? And everything else? We'renot doing this anymore. We're kind of
just sitting on our ass. We'rekind of not doing anything. We're kind
(54:37):
of telling ourselves to go fuck ourselves. In a way, I wonder,
let me ask you a question likeI want to. I really I got
to ask this question concept to myself. Okay, what am I looking at?
What is the source of the information? And what is the metric by
which the measuring IQ? Because ifyou're measure IQ by a standard that established
(55:01):
back in even the nineties, you'regonna have this is like, you know,
the average person in the nineties didnot know you know a lot,
a lot about computers right now,that's what you do AI. I'm learning
AI. So if you were tothrow me to a pool of IQ quotions
(55:21):
that are about AI, I getthe bottom of the spectrum, you know,
because I'm not that's not what Iam not paying attention to. I'm
trying to learn it. But thesame time, the cryptocurrency, I still
don't understand cryptocurrency well enough. Digitalcurrency is going to happen, it's just
not It's just just a matter oftime. So so when when we talk
(55:43):
about IQ, the IQ is goingto shift according to what what is the
world requiring us to know? Like, well, it's also how we're how
we're presenting it. So I'm seeinga lot of actual people say, hey,
the average IQ has gone down fromone hundred to anywhere in between ninety
(56:05):
eight as far back as two thousandand down to about ninety to eighty nine.
But how are they measuring though?I don't know, But that's what
I was thinking, was like ado you know how to make a fire?
Can you change a tire? Canyou change how it tests? For
IQ works, it's mostly like patternrecognition, reading, comprehension, and then
like basic math that's like, okay, if you have intelligence, you can
(56:28):
figure out how to put these piecestogether. They're not saying, oh,
in nineteen forty eight, who it'snot retention or breaking down facts that you've
learned. It's more understanding and perceivinghow things work and stuff like that.
That's what's interesting to me is thatif there is actually a legitimate dip,
which they're saying in certain cases thereis, and in certain cases, oh,
(56:51):
we've increased by one hundred points,somebody's lying. And it seems like
the people that we're dealing with noware shoved so far up their own assets
that they can't person or understand orhave empathy towards somebody else's experience. Okay,
So if that's the truth, whereare we Because now we're getting more
and more in depth with dealing withpeople on the EQ side of IQ than
(57:15):
just basic IQ. We don't haveinterpersonal skills anymore. We're like, oh,
I feel bad for that person,so I'm going to fight every fight
for them because they don't want todo it for themselves and we can't articulate
that. Nobody can. They're allkind of sitting on their hands. I
just I thought it was interesting.So Virulos, why don't you read off
that green text that you found?Well, my idea is, like I
(57:37):
believe people are getting dumber, justlike social media again, with the lack
of empathy or wanting to like understandthings no one can admit when they're wrong,
and I think it's creating like adeath of critical thinking and common sense.
No one can rationalize really, andit seems like everybody's kind of putting
themselves into a soundproof box of ifyou share my opinions, I'll accept you
(58:00):
the second you dissent from my opinions, because my opinions, all of a
sudden, mean so much more thaneverybody else's. Fuck you. And it's
really funny because everybody gets so confusedin the comments when I'll post the short
and they'll be like, oh this, and I'm like, okay, yeah,
well that makes sense. That's theexact point I had. You dipshit.
You proved me right by saying yourpoint, which is supposed to prove
(58:22):
me wrong. I thought it washilarious. The other last night I posted
the bear short. So I don'tknow if you heard about this woods,
but there's this joke and question that'sgoing around. They're asking females if you
were walking in the woods and youfound a bear fifty percent of the time,
and you were walking in the woodsfifty percent of the time you found
(58:44):
a man, who would you ratherrun into the bear or the man,
and these chicks are choosing to walkinto a bear every single time, and
it's like, well, we're afraid. I was like, yeah, exactly,
you're afraid of something that you seeall of the time. You're interactive
with them all of the time,and we're telling you exactly where we need
(59:07):
to protect you, and you're saying, hey, I don't want that protection.
You're being a chauvinist. And Iwas like, no, sorry,
that's not how this works. Youprove my point, right. You said,
well, bears happened one in Ithink one hundred million times the probability
for a bear attack that lead saiddeath. This dude's like, well,
women are affected one in six thousand. I'm like, okay, that's my
(59:29):
exact point. You don't understand whatthe fuck they're looking at. They're saying,
oh, well, bears not asscary as a man. Okay,
I agree, sure, whatever,you're seeing men more often, so those
are going to be skewed. Butyou prove my point. You prove my
point that we should not have intergenderedbed bathrooms and bedrooms for people that aren't
family. That's not how things shouldwork. Regardless of if it's public or
(59:52):
not. I just so many fuckingknuckle draggers drive me up a wall.
Do you want to read that greentexture? I couldn't tell. I want
to know if he had any thoughtson like do you think people are getting
dumber? Is it social media?Or is your wisdom through age just kind
of like it's always been this way? Who me? Yeah, you people
(01:00:20):
are getting dumber. I think forme, the patterns are showing that it's
it's a shift of of priority,which means people appear dumber because they're not
focused on you know again, it'sit's all it's all relative to me,
Like, all right, I'm froma I'm from an analog existence. So
(01:00:44):
when I know for me explained,if you can't figure out how to do
something with your hands, I questionyou know, your your native intelligence,
a lot of skill, a lot, but most of his exposure and the
way of the things you're talking about, the ideas you're talking about are not
false, like they think about theabout the bear because it's there's there's truth
(01:01:05):
in that. You know, you'reyou're more likely to is it more dangerous
to see a man in the wildor a bear? And what's the dumbness.
To me, what's dumb is thatthey stop at the super at the
superficial idea, like okay, oha bear, Well the ideology right now,
(01:01:28):
I'm so afraid of Ben I haveto say this, and it's like
it's like it's they don't think itthrough. And that's where I think we've
gotten dumber, is that we're notthinking through the whole concept. Well,
yes, so how many bears wouldyou what's the chance of encountering a bear?
Very slim and most bears would runaway from you when you saw them.
(01:01:50):
So bears are innately, they're morecontrol because the average listly that grizzly
bear. And the final kind ofbear is it a local black bear which
is shy or is there grizzy that'sthat's in November and he's hungry. So
again, when you generalize your youryour points of contact, i'll call it
all men. Are this all bearsare that bears are safe? Well,
(01:02:14):
no, the bears are very different. Is it a mother bear with the
kids? You know it? Youknow? Is it a park ring?
So the lack of sort of indexingand identifying the thing you're talking about in
whole, it's like okay, meantbad bear. You know, that generalization
is the dumbness, the willingness tothey say everything is this, everything is
(01:02:39):
that, and that bifurcation is adirect result. I believe in social media
because you you find a side andyou pick it, and you don't have
to you don't have to think deeperthan that one hundred and forty four characters
because now you either validated or invalidated, either go to war. And that's
why before you hit a good pointlike I'm not validated, I don't like
(01:03:00):
you, well, yeah, becausethere's no way to go into a deeper
excuse me, a deeper conversation aboutanything, and like this, pick this
whole thing apart about the bears andmen. If you really unpack it,
what's being compared here, you know, and then what is the unintended consequence
of that conversation? Like yeah,well, the proof is that men are
(01:03:22):
more powerful to women, you know, just you know, women get to
say things and do things because there'sa guy with a gun who's going to
enforce a law that protects you,so you feel confident that you can do
this, and then you have womento get to take really strange chances because
there's this idea that I'm safe andI'm a woman, I'm powerful. Well
(01:03:45):
yeah, but remember the guy you'reafraid of in the woods is to your
point, you know. So theinability to think things through, or the
unwillingness or or not being trained tothink things through in a longer thought,
it sounds like very privation. Andto me that that's not I don't I
(01:04:05):
don't call that lack of intelligence.That is just a laziness. So have
we become lazier absolutely less intelligence,I don't know, but lazier absolutely because
people are equip man. People knowhow to manipulate much better. They know
how to get up. Agree.That's where I was going to go.
Is like it seems like and youwould definitely be able to see this and
(01:04:28):
understand it a little bit. Itseems like a lot of the eighties,
later eighties, throughout the nineties andthe beginning of the two thousands kids that
are now the adults, a lotof us were grew up with very,
very narcissistic parents. Because they're theseventies and eighties kids that were shoved so
far up their own asses that theykind of just had the I'm going to
do whatever the fuck I wanted,gene and then they've given that and showed
(01:04:53):
that nobody gives a fuck about thosekids that the late eighties to two thousands
kids that and that's millennials. Ibelieve the gen X didn't care about millennials.
So now the millennials have the sameexact sticking point that Gen X did
where they shoved their heads out ofthe ground and said, I'm going to
do whatever the fuck I want.Now we're saying, oh, we don't
(01:05:15):
give a fuck. What the fuckyou're saying, regardless of if it makes
sense, We're doing whatever the fuckwe want. And it's created two levels
of you guys telling us we don'tgive a fuck, then us saying we
don't give a fuck. Now wehave two generations of that. The generation
before Gen X, you have thepeople in the Greatest Generation. You have
World War Two, and you haveVietnam that all kind of gave those things,
(01:05:36):
They gave up their self and wentforward. Now we have a lot
of narcissists that don't exactly know howto explain themselves, and they're fucking uncomfortable
in social situations. It seems likeit's more or less a change of the
culture because the seventies and eighties didn'traise us. The generation before, the
(01:05:57):
millennials didn't raise us. They kindof let TV raise us. They kind
of let their choices of feminism orwhatever raise us to the point where they
didn't give a fuck. Well,remember the you know, great, really
good interesting line of thinking. Here, could we trace it back to the
advent of the ponderance of television becausetelevision became The Vietnam War was the first
(01:06:26):
war televised live, right every nightthey're watching sports scores, Walter kromping,
how many killed, how many wounded? How many did did we kill?
How many did we wound? Itbecame like one. It came into a
spectator sport, it's like And astelevision became more and more available. Before
(01:06:46):
television used to be you know,you started nine o'clock in the morning and
at eleven o'clock at night to beon television. Then all of a sudden,
cable happened in this twenty four hourbroadcast gave bills. That was amazing,
Right, you turn on TV andwatch a movie at two o'clock in
the morning. We didn't grow uplike that. That wasn't it wasn't available
to us. So I think theonset of twenty four hour instant gratification,
(01:07:13):
entertainment and and what was called justkind of watching it being entertained for that
time. And now as people becamemore and more, as money became harder,
and and inflation as we start wentoff the gold standard. Now money
became printed and inflation was went throughthe roof. People had to work more.
(01:07:33):
So mothers went to work. Sohow do you how do you take
care of your kids? We'll putthem here. Here's a TV dinner from
the front of the TV watching cartoonsfor you know, Saturday morning, got
to do my work, So cartoonsand TV cartoons became your babysitter. And
the cartoons were kind of if youlook at them now, they're really they
(01:07:55):
really created biases in this group ofpeople. And if you track on different
kind of cartoons you watch, yousee a behavior pattern. I think of
who watched bugs Bunny? Well gotyou know, you couldn't killed their roadrunner
with an ample on somebody's heads.So you as a kid, you're so
easily programmed, and then you justwatch the proliferation and evolution of television and
(01:08:18):
home parents never questioned the kid becausethe kid could never question the parent,
and that transversing of not being ableto question each other. It's I am
so in my house. My kidscan always question me, not question my
authority, but ask what do youlike trying to understand what the problem is
(01:08:40):
or come up with another excuse oranother answer for what the situation is?
Right, I let them question someway. They can be adapted individuals when
they're adults. But if I rememberme as a kid, I was allowed
to question a hell of a lotmore than a lot of other kids were
a lot of other kids were.This is my house. I brought you
into this world. I'll take youout, which is like such a disgusting
(01:09:03):
ideology and rhetoric that does bring downthe intelligence of people. Because if you're
not able to question something, ifyou're not able to question your mom,
why the fuck would you question thegovernment? They have what's best for you,
just like your mom. And it'slike, guys, guys, we're
missing the point here, we're missingthe point the fuck? Well, remember
(01:09:26):
they no one's ever loved the government. I mean, you go back and
reread about the depression going into WorldWar One. People have this trust of
the government since the revolution, andwith good reason, you know, like
people talk about the Civil War beingfought for, it was mostly because you
(01:09:47):
have people who lived in one placeand they're being governed by people who lived
thousand miles away. You have noidea what the devis were like, well,
fuck you. You can't tell mehow to live. You don't know
my life. And that has beenThat's that's where we are today as well.
The flyover states if someone in NewYork City, well, you can't
(01:10:08):
have a gun here? You knowyou should have because I don't like guns.
You can't have a gun. Wellwait a minute, I don't live
in an area that I need agun. You don't need it. It's
like and that hasn't changed since sinceno serfs and king it's a king's kings
and peasants and hopefully if you're ifyou're lucky, become a knight and fights
(01:10:30):
your way up into a hi.But it's how's the name different? You
know, we're still saying we're everyalmost everyone I know where I work.
When they get a room with somebodywho can invest in their movie, they
don't care what their politics are,they don't care how good or bad.
They treat people. They want themoney for their movie, and they'll they'll
kiss their ass and bow. Ijust sat through you see that within throughout
(01:10:55):
there are so many instances. Know, one is I was working I was
working with a company for the lastsix seven months and they I got to
sit in the room while they're pitchingthese companies. And almost at the end,
at the top of the food chain, every company came in for investment
was somebody who was connected to theCCP without fail, Warner Brothers, Sega,
(01:11:20):
every major gaming company's got had everybodycame into our room. At the
end of the day, when Ilooked everybody up, I do his research
because I had to do a presentationto him. I had knew who they
were and almost eighty percent went thesame college as Jigping. You know,
they're all it's like, it's allthat. So basically that you have this
(01:11:41):
thing where you know how China controlsthat, right? You know how China
controls that right? What I meanSo in order to release a game,
whether it's mobile or non mobile,in China, it has to be owned,
I believe ten percent by the Chinesegovernment. They own a company called
ten which essentially rips off every singlegame that is released recently. They're just
(01:12:05):
ripped off almost entirely Tarkov and thenreposted it as a game called Break Arena
Infinite or something like that that's free. And it's like they they own Activision,
they own Epic, they own everything. They are a part of everything
now and we allowed them to.So my point, my point is nothing
(01:12:29):
that we are still living in ain a serfdom society. You have powerful,
rich people, and the restaurant aretrying to crawl into for a little
bit. The American experiment became amiddle class grew and in the right after
the World War Two, you hadyou had this thing of people are making
money, people could afford like myyou know, my grandfather who had a
(01:12:53):
factory job and he had you know, he lived a good life. You
know, he could buy a newcar every four or five years. You
know my father so much, mygrandfather, it was actually was doing our
right working in a factory. Thatfactory is gone, that city has gone
they grew up in. So whathappens is that ability to make a decent
living has now erode it away,and that I think there's a lot of
(01:13:15):
things there's not one thing. There'sso many factors and what's in the erosion
of that middle class? And Ithink a lot of it has to do
mostly with us worshiping the Lifestyles ofthe Rich and Famous. I mean,
that was the show that changed everything, Lifestyles are the Rich and Famous?
(01:13:39):
As the show came out in theseventies, and they used to go and
see how great it, you know, not knowing that they had curated most
of the stuff, right. Andso Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous was
a show that came out in theseventies I think early eighties, and it
just became a hit, and everybodyjust started idolizing what it is to be
(01:13:59):
rich and famous, and that becamea goal, not that Okay, have
I earned this money in a waythat's honorable? Do I feel good about
myself? Or is it just youknow now it's like, okay, just
be famous for being famous. Youdon't be talented. They don't have to
be anything. Hey, get famousfor being famous. And you know,
in any in any means necessary,you know, twork your you know,
(01:14:23):
you tell your body, t workyour way into success. I mean,
God bless Kim Kardashian I mean,for God, bless her. She she
is there. You know, she'sa world class beauty have but she sold
it and she is she is gotan exterior that's like like the tough as
nails. You know, She's like, hey, and if that's what it
(01:14:43):
takes to have that kind of fameand fortune, people will be willing to
do it. But what but thehighway is littered with people who have who
who had that belief and now they'rein the thirties, forties and fifties and
they got they got nothing, andthey to the author of that of wealth
and fame, and you know thatthat's a really tough king to bow to
(01:15:06):
because it's only a few get throughthe gate. You know, That's something
that goes back to the TV thingbecause as I've grown up, I realized,
like wow, in the eighties andnineties, we just got farmed.
And it feels like that created alot of stupidity as well, because like
how much misinformation has been just likethrown into Generation X and millennials through reality
(01:15:28):
TV thinking all this stuff is realwhen it's always been scripted, or all
those facts on the History Channel willactually just bs And then it's like wait
a second. They just showed theresearch paper they liked, ignoring all the
other evidence, and then our parentsbought it, fed it to us nighttime
news. It's like, oh wait, it's always been fake. So it's
not only social media misinformation. Itwas what we all grew up through and
got warped into not being able tobe actually start using the word curated.
(01:15:57):
Everything is curing one. It's likethat's the word that I that I really
sums it up from. Like thenews has been curated to have an effect,
to have an outcome. It's notthere for you to it's curated to
guide your because the human mind isso easily distracted and easily got it.
You're cure and I'm an editor.I know how to, I know how
(01:16:18):
to make things look. You know, put this, put this image here,
it changes how you see in thenext image. It's quite You curate
your content. And that has beenhappening since no since the advent a TV
on the radio show and even theeven live radio shows curated their content.
(01:16:39):
They they integrated, they integrated thethe product into the show. They curated
it. And now we just havethe ability to we can now we can
fake everything now I mean, it'seven it's even going crazier than that.
So last week or the week before, uh Verla sent me this link and
I was like, wait, thefuck has going on? So they're now
(01:17:02):
saying and curating statistics that show youdo not need to take daily showers and
they could even be harmful to youfor one hundred years to get saying you
gotta take you gotta get the dirt, you gotta get the grind, get
these and no, no, no, it's like it has flipped one hundred
(01:17:24):
and eighty degrees. That's fucking amazing. I would say that daily showers have
no proven benefit, dismissing the yeah, dismissing the dowsing that is socially accepted
practice. During towards starting off accusationsof funkiness A, listeners like Jake,
Jillenhall and Milacunas admit they have beensaying no to the nozzle. I don't
(01:17:45):
know why they call the shower heada nozzle. That's kind of weird.
It seems pseudo sexual actually, butyou know, it's insane. They're saying
that the reason that we take showersdaily is because of the prostitute state.
What the fuck is going on.That's filthy hippies. Man. Now that
they have a platform through social media, they're just saying anything there. This
(01:18:10):
is this is where it gets tothe pseudoscience level, and everybody starts buying
it, which is a frustrating part. Tell anyone who mocks you that they
are betraying profound ignorance of the skinmicrobiome and then walk away. Well,
here's let's unpack that, because Ibelieve that everything that seems to be like
has some type of kernel of truth, and it's let's unpack that. Let's
(01:18:33):
let's investigate that with their logic.So let's see, we're no longer in
a gray society. We're not inthe dirt, we're not working in factories,
we're not working coal mines. Weare so in most people, especially
if you're living like a cooness orpeople who are wealthy. Yes, you
(01:18:53):
know what, they're nots exposed tothe elements they live in. They live
in purified here, they have,you know, they have a better higher
standing of living, so they're probablyexposed to fewer pathogens and fewer things that
can make them sick. So,yes, somebody who has an elevated life
to finances, they probably don't needto remove the elements from the body every
(01:19:20):
day. Maybe they have a lotof house maybe they have so that would
make sense. But for people whospend time out in the world every day,
going to you know, walking tostores, getting and getting down airplanes,
you know, who are being exposedto the elements, I think it
is necessary. So I think there'struth at the beginning of this happened probably
(01:19:41):
like four or five years ago,probably right around the start of COVID,
And it goes with this mental exercise. So imagine yourself in the shower.
Don't imagine me in the shower withyou, because I'm sure you don't want
that. But when you're sitting therewashing your body, do you stop at
your knees or do you go allthe way down to your feet? Yeah?
Feet, I just let it run. Most people stop at their knees
(01:20:03):
or at the mid thigh because theycannot reach after that point. But did
you know they actually did this science, this science I saw your skin is
more damaged and more germy if youwash the bottoms of your legs then let
the water run across them. SoI wonder if that pseudoscience of like this
(01:20:29):
thing happens cause them to say,Okay, well taking a shower at all
is pseudo science. We just doit that for the perpetual I want to
be clean. It's weird. Well, I think when they're talking about like
your skin microbiome, because to adegree that also protects you because there's good
enough bacteria here that's keeping me kindof safe from all the bad bacterias.
(01:20:50):
So I get my good back tohere, and then I'm dirty and now
I got bad back to here.But that's like taking it too way too
far of an extreme where it's like, how about this if you smell shower
and we're allowed to shame you ifyou don't. But they just want to
be like filthy and not taking careof themselves and then deflect. That's that's
my take on it. Again andthis and this is the conversation that we
(01:21:14):
that needs to have a national patternbecause now we unpacked it. There's truth
on both sides. There's some peopleyou know what you're you live in in
a place that you don't need toshow you they said, don't. And
there's those other indivisions that are exposedand they probably would benefit from being a
daily cleansing. You know, soit's never one thing. It's always a
(01:21:35):
spectrum. It's always a bell curve. You know, life is a bel
length is a you know, what'sabout the flower of life or something where
everything is just sort of patronistic anextremes, everything's true, but in the
middle, what's what's the what's theaccuracy in the middle? I give up
the word true and I'm true.I give is it accurate or is it
(01:21:57):
in? What's the love of accuracy? Here? What is my percentile of
accuracy in this assessment? Because youknow, both ends, there's gonna be
an example on both extremes that istrue. So truth is a matter of
like what's in the middle, andwe have to aggregate, you know,
the accuracy percentage. Okay, let'scall this our you know, truth is
(01:22:17):
in a grade middle place. Yes, you know, we all agree that
eighty percent of this is so we'llcall this reality. It's all agreement.
This is where it gets funny tome. Instead of just going through and
saying, okay, we no longershould take showers. It hurts our skin
biome. Now people are using theiralofas for obscene things, and this is
(01:22:38):
hilarious. To me. I knowyou were not in high school in middle
school when this happened Woods, butin ninth grade, everybody finally started wearing
these rubber bands essentially around their wrist. They weren't like rubber bands that stretched.
They were like uh, soft siliconebands like those bracelets. But yeah,
yeah, but they were round,and they were all colored, and
(01:23:00):
each one of those colors meant somethinglike, if a girl was wearing those
bracelets, it means that she waswilling to do those things. If a
guy was wearing them, they werewilling to do those things or receive those
things, whatever way you want tointerpret it. And so it was essentially
a game that everybody kind of playedwhere you could run around and break a
(01:23:21):
bracelet and they owed you that thing. I believe black was sex or pink
was something else or whatever. Ifyou broke somebody's rubber bracelet, then there's
a social requirement that you fulfill withinthe construct of that group. Yes,
And how did they enforce that law. It was just like a group thing.
(01:23:46):
So I think it probably started alot of relationships of like a way
to have nonverbal communication with people ortell them what you want without telling them
what you want. But now inFlorida, and I got a couple of
places in New York because that's whereI got the original headline from when I
saved this. They are now usinglufahs tied to their car as a way
(01:24:08):
to tell people how how much theywant to swing. So a white Lufa
tied to your car, so youtie one for each person in the car,
So you tie it to that roofrack on the side that you're sitting
on. White is for novices andbeginners and you're not sure what you want
all the way down to teal theyare bisexual and they want everything both sides.
(01:24:31):
I just thought it was really funnythat we went from saying, oh,
yeah, you know, let's notshower. Now, let's use our
lufus for something else. Let's tellpeople like sex bracelets what we want the
way other people could ask us.That's really fucking weird. Weren't all the
degenerate things back in the day insideof houses and we didn't fucking ask.
Now, all of a sudden,we're like, yeah, tell me more
(01:24:53):
outwardly as we have Rulis sitting herewith a fucking I can watch the os
see more than I ever saw ina grilly magazine back in the sixties.
I can see more sexuality. That'sbecause there was hair popping out of their
bikinis too. I guess I cansee more sexuality and more skin watching Housewives
(01:25:15):
or something than I ever saw whenI bought a magazine back in nineteen sixty.
I mean that that's that's an evolutionthat's been really fascinating to watch.
And just a little sidebar in Hawaii, uh an upside down pineapple that's supposed
to be that you're you're you're aswinger. That was the rumor that I
(01:25:35):
heard about Hawaii. That that's true. That's across the entire United States.
So the one that I heard,the wives tale one that I heard.
You know those stars that people puton their houses that are fucking ugly and
retarded, No they got they gotlike a white house with black lining and
stuff, and then they'll have thisbig fucking nautical star where there's no windows.
(01:25:58):
That is also a sign supposedly forswinging too. And that one doesn't
make me comprehend it because I'm like, I've only seen old people with those,
so I'm like, why the fuckwhere have I been? I know
none of them. I haven't seenthose I know about like bandana code for
like kink or gay community stuff,because it used to be more underground.
(01:26:19):
We're's just kind of like an ohthing, but now it's almost being broadcasted
more like, Hey, everyone shouldknow about this, and if you know,
that's cool. Yeah, So thisis it is like wearing like like
wearing crips and bloods kind of stuff. Be careful not to wear red.
Well, no, it would belike if you, like you wear a
pink bandana, it's your bottom orsomething. So this is what I was
(01:26:41):
talking about. These things. It'salso like placement on the body, Like
I think that's a real thing.So I guess it depends on like where
you are in the country or certainideologies and stuff like that. But those
stars, yes, and it seemslike everybody all of a sudden got a
shit ton of them for some reasonand they became cool, at least around
me. It seems like the fortiesto seventy people are like, yeah,
(01:27:03):
I want to put a white starin my house. It's red, and
I'm like, what the fuck's wrongwith you? And now they're saying,
in some cases it's because you're swingersand are trying to tell people that are
driving by. I thought I sawa red one once and I thought,
okay, maybe the communist. ThenI saw a gold one. I thought,
and maybe they lost a son ordaughter in conflict in the army.
(01:27:24):
So I I see it, butI don't really go much past its decoration.
You know, I really haven't thoughtthat much. You've educated me.
I never thought it meant something.I just thought maybe they're trying to be
you know, trying to just theythought it was thought they're they're decorating their
house. Go go ahead, Iguess because like the Swinger comedy, found
(01:27:45):
something so stupid, like no rationalsane person wouldever boy the stupid thing and
put it on their house. Thereforewe can use this here go Yeah,
yeah, that makes sense. No, yeah, I guess. The original
standard of it in the back,back in the day was they used to
do this in Pennsylvania. They're calledbarn stars, and it was like good
(01:28:08):
luck. And then it became likea symbol of fertility and growth, which
is ideal for a farm obviously.And then in two thousand and seven there
was Thread starting and initiating a rumorsaying homeowners were swingers, and the term
used to describe the couples that swappartners was the star. But they're saying
that most likely it's false, Butobviously in two thousand and seven, most
(01:28:30):
people didn't fucking lie, So Iwould assume that it came from somebody saying
that's why they did it. Yeah, I found the thing. It's like
the handkerchief code. So just likethe colors mean stuff and if you put
them like in your left pocket orright pocket or something. Oh, I
see you right pocket thing? Whatis that? Well, it was the
handkerchief code I was talking about withlike bandanas and stuff or like. That
(01:28:53):
was an underground gay thing I found. Like what happens if they run up
to the wrong dude, like acripper of blow and they're like, yeah,
you got a red bandana in yourpocket? What the fuck's gonna happen?
Then? Well, I guess SanFrancisco wasn't really expecting those kind of
like things to happen. I knowSan Francisco doesn't deal with like the Latin
(01:29:14):
kings, but that's what a yellowbandana is if it's in your left pocket.
So if this dude puts it inhis wrong pocket. He either wants
to golden shower somebody or receive agolden shower. And if you run up
on a Latin king and be like, I'm gonna piss on you, what
the fuck's gonna happen, then theyreally don't understand like the way the world
works. That would be fucking bad. Like honestly, so I thought that.
(01:29:44):
I thought that that was funny.I was like, wait, why
is this news going all the wayup to New York. I guess.
There is a place called The Villagesin Florida, and it's renowned for how
open sexually they are. It's aretirement community, like a gated community.
They're all like sixty plus. Butit is also the highest level of STD
rates in the entire country because theyall just pass them back and forth.
(01:30:08):
All this stuff sounds so fake.The Villages is a very well known retirement
facility in Florida. I mean,if some guy built this swampland just developed
it, and I think there's likethree or four hundred thousand people live there,
it's like it heads his own zipcode. So that is and I
(01:30:32):
think, I don't know, Inever heard about the STD, but that
would make sense sure. You know, let's say, sure, you have
this population of people who are pastthe point of caring, so you know,
yeah, exactly, at some point, you know there's going to be
different little nuances towards what you're doingand stuff like that. So I have
(01:30:53):
three m I the assholes, andyou guys are going to choose which one
you guys want to do? Letme make sure what kind of assholes?
So there's this subreddit called am Ithe Asshole? Where some people just farm
karma and we'll post things and belike, well, am I the asshole?
But some of them are actually ratherintrospective questions and I kind of like
them. So I'm going to giveyou three titles and you can choose one,
(01:31:17):
Roles will choose one, and Iwill pick out the last one.
So these are the three titles.You tell me which one you want.
Am I the asshole for telling mywife to never volunteer me to help her
family? Again? Am I theasshole for expecting my husband to do half
of the housework? Or am Ithe asshole for going through my girlfriend's dresser
drawer. See this is like whereit gets weird on karma farming, because
(01:31:42):
like you'll get something stupid word.It's like I made my boyfriend a cake
and he got mad at me.Am I the asshole? Or is he
the asshole? Kind of thing,Like you never know what you're going to
get into with these kinds of stories. What do you mean kind karma farming?
So karma is a Internet point thatyou get on line on a website
called Reddit, and the more karmayou have and makes you feel like a
(01:32:05):
cool person. So they have incentivekarma to say things in an innate way
for you to figure out if they'rean asshole or not an asshole. And
most of the time they try andprove themselves as not an asshole or they
really are an asshole and fucking adip shit, and they have no idea
how narcissistic they are. I thinkthe whole thing is moronic. Yeah,
(01:32:28):
the currency is saying fuck Trump onlike r slash news and then getting ten
thousand up votes and then they feelagain, this is this is the viprecation
I'm talking about. It's impossible eitherway. I just I would just kind
of dispense the whole premise, like, wait a minute, what what's the
circumstance sing the internet to validate yourself. If you're not an asshole, automatically
(01:32:55):
makes you an asshole because you can'tvalidate it yourself. That's why I think
these are fun and for some reasonYouTube videos about these are loved. Mm
hmm. Well, and another thingis like you don't get the full story.
You get the person that's trying toeither like make the other person be
an out asshole, which is forthem as not the asshole. So you
find inconsistencies, which is where theconversation around it is fun and entertaining.
(01:33:18):
Yeah, you have to like eventhink like wait, is this person even
telling the truth? And then itgets deeper. So do you wanna do
you want to go through your girlfriend'sdress or drawer? Do you want to
complain about doing half the housework?Or do you want to complain about being
volunteered for family? If my ifmy girlfriend was doing drugs and she's about
(01:33:38):
to kill somebody, I need tofind her her her Yeah, I'm gonna
look through a drawer. Yes,you want you want to? Do you
want to let's see the story.Let's I'm gonna say that we did when
we did a while ago on thetab and read it. Yeah, so
when we did a while ago wasabout like checking the dashcam footage because the
(01:33:59):
huzz been like just dump their dogand she was just like, Oh,
I'm going to go into the cameraand find out if that's what he did.
And it was like a weird story. So we're going to get into
something here. Yeah, so Isent you a link in the chat over
there. You click that link andthen, uh, it'll pop up.
You just got to read what isthere? It should pop up automatically.
(01:34:20):
You want me to do something,Hey, what am I doing? So
there's a link in the chat.It says h T T p s reddit
dot com. Click that one forread it all right, and then a
story will pop up. Read thatstory. Please read it out loud?
Yes, read it out loud?A I T A. What does that
(01:34:41):
mean? Am I the asshole?For price sakes? Yep? They Oh,
don't worry. There's n T Afor not the asshole? So that's
how people vote y T the asshole. Yeah, it's great. I put
my glasses on here. Sure it'sgonna be a cool guy. So I
have a DHD and sensory issues.However, I'm pretty low needs and can
(01:35:03):
manage my own stuff as let megod zoom in, make these words bigger.
All I got it all right hereyou go. Start from the tel
Ai ta for going through my friendmy girlfriend's dresser drawers. So it says
(01:35:24):
not the a hole. So yeah, so I had ADHD and sensory issues.
However, I'm pretty low k neeedsand can manage my own stuff as
long as no one interferes. Ihave sensitive hearing, and that's my main
trigger, so to speak. Noisestimulation is my main thing, but I
(01:35:45):
always have precautions. I had thisincredible pair of headphones, which is one
of my prize possessions. It's blueand white. I've had since I was
twelve ish. They block out everything, no joke, and they're smooth and
well shaved and fashionable of me,so I can wear them around my neck
without looking like a weirdo. Whothe fuck are these people? I mean,
(01:36:08):
seriously, are your average redditor?Are you just fucking stupid? My
girlfriend has a weird This is notreal. This Welcome to Reddit. Welcome
to Reddit. This is why it'sfun. This is why it's by AI.
There's nobody who thinks our rights likethis. This is AI generated content
(01:36:29):
right here. This is not evenI'm not gonna I'm not gonna read it.
It's fucking I can't spend I can'twaste my fucking life, and my
attention is too valuable to let thiskind of ship receive it. So I'm
moving on, boys, and I'mnot doing this ship. This is fucking
stupid. Oh that's the best response, because like, there's no winning with
Reddit. This is what we're talkingabout. Like you get to see someone's
(01:36:50):
insanity and then you get to judgethem for it because they think they're like
in the right, but it's it'sjust all deflection. It's oh, I
have this, I have that,my mint disorder, so I'm not in
the wrong. Guys, we hadsuch a great conversation going, and now
we're talking to idiots. We donot we do not speak of illness.
(01:37:13):
This is mental illness. This iswe do not give this power. We
give it power by giving it ourattention. It does not deserve power.
And we are the if we readthis ship, we're the problems. So
let's just fucking ignore it. Imean, if you want play bix,
fine, but for me, like, what the fuck man? We have
so many we can talk about theelection. We can talk about the problems
(01:37:34):
on the board, we talk aboutthe economy. We're gonna talk about this
ship. No, no, no, no, you guys. I love
you guys. I can step outnow and go get a cup of coffee.
You know, I love your response. This is great. I love
the love the raw response. That'swhy, as a whole, regardless of
if we choose to do it ornot choose to do it in the show,
(01:37:55):
the response is the interesting part becauseyou see who they are as people.
This is a problem. It's notinteresting, it's not even compelling.
It is horseship. It's like it'sa way of stealing your life. Dude,
you do not get this moment backever. It's gone for fucking ever.
And if you waste your life eventhinking about that ship, then you
(01:38:19):
really are I use the word youtruly aren't fucking retired, because it's like
it's you. You. You havethis intellect and this power and this insight,
and you're gonna waste it on thatship. That's like that's say opening
up a toilet and say, oh, what is this? It's Oh,
it's it's poop. Let me pickit. Let me take the why.
There's no fucking value. You getnothing out of this, so maybe you
(01:38:41):
get some clickbait and find that.I get that. That makes sense to
me. But other than that,no, we'll I don't want you fucking
considering this in front of me.It makes me think less of you,
and I think a lot of you. So don't fucking don't do that to
me. Don't make me descend intoa Wait, this is fucking idiocy.
No, you guys are smart,carry on good conversations. Descending here is
(01:39:02):
brother, brother, I think youjust beat your your outburst of saying your
dad stabbed you with a knife andyou sewed it up with fishing line.
I that was the greatest response I'veever could have expected from that. Like
you as as a character and youas a person. Fucking love you,
dude. You are one of thecoolest people that I talk to you all
the time, and that was fantastic. Yes, you Karma farmers. We
(01:39:26):
are farming you and you just gotroasted by probably somebody you look at as
one of the amazing dudes from avideo game. You all fucking love.
Stop looking for Internet points, youfucking retards. Hey, I got to
say it finally, because you knowI didn't say it first, I thought
it was funny. I'm telling me, Man, we got sponsors YouTube algorithm.
(01:39:47):
They read that you can't say retardedbecause then YouTube d ranks us,
and now he's saying it show nosaid earlier. No he said to stick
down. Yeah, no, I'vebeen I've been doing better. I've been
using dipship instead of so. Uh. You said you wanted to talk about
(01:40:09):
furry ship and questioned him a biton furry ship. So what was there
that you wanted to talk about?You just wouldn't know about the dog collar.
Didn't need to go too much deeperthan that question. You have a
furry well kind of what are you? I'm a wolf? I won't have
any Yeah, I don't have anyart immediately available to show right now.
(01:40:30):
Do you go around acting like awolf? No? Yeah, he barks
at the moon. If you actlike a wolf, can I fucking shoot
you and get away with it?I'm in Washington. I'm pretty sure I'm
protected. I pray I'm protected.Don't toyoming man. Yeah, yeah,
I can't. I can't go wherethere's actual hunting. And like the old
(01:40:50):
management got to forgive my ignorance aboutthis ship because I do not understand any
of this. So what are yousaying? You're saying you you you believe
you're you're a wolf. They're Thething about being a furry is that there's
like multiple levels to it. Somepeople it's like all sexual, they're degenerates
and fucking weird, and then otherpeople they do believe they're a wolf.
(01:41:12):
I just really like the representation becauseit's more about the appeal. Like some
people they find cartoons appealing, comicbooks, superheroes and stuff more appealing,
anime all that, all that kindof stuff, So it's its own subculture
to me, and I just reallylike the anthropomorphic animal representation. I think
that has like is it more likea power animal to you? Well,
(01:41:36):
in a way, it's like notsuper spiritual in like a like a full
motive American kind of So that that'show I describe it when people question it,
Well, the thing was like,it's it doesn't go that far from
me, but it's kind of thesame idea where it's like you find power
in this representation. So what whatis the net benefit of assuming this condition?
(01:42:00):
What what's it called assuming this identity? What is the net benefit to
you? Like? How how areyou better off by doing this? I
think it's just the cool representation whereit's like the appeal of that is again
like looking at a comic book orsuperhero or something like that. So it's
more of a so it's a it'sa it's an affirmation, it's a way
(01:42:27):
of is it something that you Howdo you when you say cool? That
has a lot of definition. Yeah, yeah, that's why I try to
say it's appealing to me in theway that other way other people find other
styles and like culture is kind ofappealing. That is that? Is that
an external reflection back to you whereyou say I feel cool because people see
it's cool, or you feel likeit makes you feel more unique in the
(01:42:49):
world, which means that you havea self a self self addressed idea that
Okay, I'm unique because I havethis perspective. I'm not really doing it
for like a oh look at me, I'm unique with this. I just
think the representation fits a lot better. I don't know what that means a
representation, and I thank you.That's fair, thank you for tolerating an
(01:43:13):
ignorant man's I'm not I hope youdon't feel like I'm being Oh absolutely not.
I'm just really curious. It helps. Yeah, it helps to say
that you don't understand the representation,because that's like what it's about, because
like you see that people have theirown characters where it's like, oh,
I'm a fox, I'm this pinkdragon that has all this other crazy shit
(01:43:35):
going on them, And I thinkit'll help if you see the character one
second. Yeah, I'm gonna posta link because like that's kind of the
big thing. Is it is?It is? It? Would it be
analogous to like, Okay, Iplay a character in a video game,
right, I play woods? Yeah. I don't think you're very analogous to
(01:43:55):
that. Yeah, I I I'mplaying a role. Oh keep it up.
Make sure I was letting him seeit. I'm going to put it
on the screen and split it.Yep. Uh. And I got to
find you guys again, just lostyou because you saw it. No,
(01:44:15):
That's why I like the the analogyof looking at it like the Native American
thing, because I know a lotof natives that kind of imagine a wolf
or a deer or an elk ora bear is like something that is meaningful
to them, And it's like,I don't understand why it's meaningful to you.
But I can also understand why theimagery or the idea of what that
(01:44:38):
is is meaningful, and that thatpart, to me is how I can
understand it or even come to termswith trying to grip something that's not everybody
else. Let make your question.So basically, when I build characters sometimes
right like with Okay, woods wasmodeled on a wolf, and take character
(01:45:01):
the way he moves, the wayhe the way he is. You know
that that was So basically I useanimals as a way to for body language,
as a way to inhabit Okay,say how do I you know what?
Would you know? How does theline feel here? You know how?
How? And it's kind of likeyou watch So is it similar to
(01:45:23):
that where I would kind of lookat animals to create help flesh out of
behavior of a character. It's almostexactly that, because the big thing about
furry is anthropomorphisation, giving human traitsto other things. So that's why we
call it like, oh, thefox is sly and sneaky and the lion
is proud, and we have allof these tropes that have gone on forever,
so just kind of like taking thosetropes from you like, oh,
(01:45:45):
which animal do I represent or feellike more? And then building a character
off of that, and then itgoes into the style that I find it
more appealing that instead of like makinga woods like character that has like wolfishness
inside of him, it's like,I just think that that character I have
looks cool. And I know yousaid like you don't like words like weird
or cool, but that's where likethis appeal and this representation comes to me
where it's like that character feels alot like me and how I portrayed it,
(01:46:11):
and I like just looking like ananth wolf through that portrayal more than
just an anime character or cartoon orcomic book hero or something. So this
is my ignorance, and I knowwe've had a little bit more conversation about
it. Feel free to add contextwherever you feel like you need to.
So this just clicked in my headwhen you guys were talking about like the
unique traits that animals would have ora human would have and trying to cross
(01:46:34):
breed them essentially and get things.I remember learning about that in like seventh
eight to ninth grade English, whereyou start reading the books about how like
this animal acts in this certain waywhere a mouse is shy and everything else,
and like then there's mousy people andyou can understand that there's similarities in
between the stories that you read andthe people that you see in the world
(01:46:56):
when you look at these things andyou kind of portray yourself in that way,
whether you look at a human toportray an animal or an animal that
portrays a human. Is that howall the people are Is like they're kind
of stuck in that thing where theywere shown that there's equality there. Like
obviously you're just one person, butI'm sure you've had conversations with numerous people
that kind of have looked at thesethings. Is that how you see it
(01:47:17):
where more people are like connecting thosedots where they just haven't changed from there
because they can see the world thatway. And it's okay or did I
not worth the question? I haveno idea what you're talking about. Okay,
in high school. In high schoolyou learn about how animals and humans
have Yeah, I got that price, but I mean, I don't know
(01:47:38):
what you mean how that translates tothe people When when you go into a
furry convention, does it seem likethey held onto those things. Is like,
that's the only answer of how Ican explain myself, Like, is
that why they latch onto one animal? Is that why they latch onto one
ideology of Okay, someone else's try. That's the problem with furry community.
(01:47:59):
A lot of them or freaks andit's not like that. No, That's
why I was asking because I didn'tunderstand if it was like trauma, so
they kind of there's there's people thathave like five different ones because they take
each little trade like, well,this is my wolf representation, this is
my mouse representation, and some peoplethey're almost but stupid. Yes, I
understand, and then most like mostof them are just in it for like
(01:48:19):
sexual fetish reasons and a lot ofother awareness. Me, I just think
that character looks cool and it's agood representation of me, and maybe James
can agree, Like if you've seenthat character and you're getting the vibe from
me, it's like there might besomething there. There's at least a valid
representation. Now, what came first? You were that character that that that
(01:48:42):
illustration, Well, I came first, and it just did you create that?
Did you see that and then decideor did you feel that you know,
so which came first? You werethe did you did you see that?
You already hear in the he sawOh that's me right there, or
you see I'm here. I wantto create an image that represents me.
(01:49:04):
It's a creative representation through like thatappealing format to me. So you you
had that, you had you hadthat, or you created that picture so
that that's a self portrait. Yeahokay, and you created a self portune
it wasn't already out there. Andhe said, oh, that's my unique
character, understand Yeah, so youcreated it for yourself. I get that
(01:49:28):
now. That That's where I thinkis like ideology is so unique and so
interesting because it's it's not the degenerateshit, it's just a different self representation
of him. And obviously at somepoint I'd love to have these questions where
it's like was that a mental healththing? Where you're like, I like
having a different version of me tokind of just separate my mind from what
(01:49:50):
I'm saying or what because obviously there'sprobably something in there. You know.
I just think you I as Ithink about it, I'm really fascinating.
I really appreciate you you letting mewell, I think it's really cool because
I'm happy to talk about and belike, yo, that's me. And
if you understand that a bit better, I'm happy. And what I'm trying
(01:50:11):
to understand like what I try toagain, I like to unpack things because
I don't believe in negating or agreeingto anything I see in front of me
until I unpack it. Every pictureI see it and I have to unpack
it and make sure I see bothsides of the equation, like why would
somebody reject what you're doing and whywould you embrace something? And I try
to see both sides. And asI'm sitting here, I'm thinking, this
(01:50:33):
really is no different than what's alwaysbeen there. What's different is that now
there is an actual language, andwe have we have the capabilities of seeing,
of manifesting imagination where we all have. For example, if you look
(01:50:56):
at at a science fiction film fromthe fifties, if you look get it
today, it's say, oh mygod, how did you believe this?
How did you believe that that wasthe spaceship? You know? But where
were the worlds from back in theday, where, oh my god,
it was it was a representation ofa spaceship. You know the smoke with
you know, you see the stringsor you know, Godzilla, you can
(01:51:17):
see the guys pushing them on.But you your imagination because you wanted to
agree with it. You accepted thejourney and the advent of c G I.
We can create anything. Now there'snothing. The imagination is now only
limited by what we we actually youknow, we have our limitations have been
(01:51:38):
had been met. You know,we are we already know what heaven looks
like because we've seen it on TV. You know what hell looks like because
it's out of our heads. Andso this idea that oh I'm going to
manifest myself in a in a inthis form of a wolf or a cat
or something, it is no longeruh uh, something that you can't there's
(01:52:01):
no limitation that you create like,oh I can do that, because we've
seen it all on TV. Wehave seen murders, we have seen everything.
We have the you know, ourentertainment has created an endless opportunity this,
so nothing's left to the imagination.So this idea that you find it,
you identify as this wolf because that'ssomething that's in you and you have
(01:52:23):
this sure that makes total fucking senseto me if that like, that's my,
that's my That's how I'm received.There is no limitation as to how
you can express yourself. Is everythinghas been expressed. You know, every
fucking song sounds like every other everysong you can find any song, oh
that sounds like this Because there's onlyso many notes on the keyboard. At
(01:52:46):
some point they're gonna start repeating,right, there's only so many patterns.
Yeah, And I think within that, the creativity is how do you this
is simple and reassemble something to makeit unique? And I think what's what's
going on here is like you've disassembledthe idea of identity and reassumed that using
(01:53:08):
all the pieces out there, andthat's it. I mean, you're just
probably using where I grew up.We could use ten percent of the pieces
you got forty and pretty soon there'sgonna be people using everything. And that's
when it becomes and when AI set'scoming in and you plant it and now
all of a sudden, you're gonnabe able to control how you see things.
(01:53:29):
You know, we're gonna have control. It's like, so you're just
you're just the seed of what's aboutto happen. Oh, the best thing
is like that picture is AI generated. Of course it is. Yeah,
totally what to do? I knewthat, that's what I'm saying, I
asked you. Well, the coolthing is like, because like before,
i'd have to pay someone to geta commission and then like outline my character
being like oh it's got red hairand I have these markings and stuff.
(01:53:53):
But then like the really fascinating thingto me is like I'm able to get
my personality to come through through anAI generation by feeding it so much,
by selecting like Okay, that's crap, crap, crap, crap, good
good good. Yeah, Yeah,I have come into the I have come
into the world of AI with gunsblazing. I use it for everything my
(01:54:14):
bio. I mean, I've usedit for everything. I'm trying to kind
of get it to do a coupleof things for me now that they're not
quite there yet, but I seeit happening, and I I but like
everything else, I go back tomy bell curve. There are people who
are healthily saying I'm expressing something hereand I had the ability to express this
(01:54:34):
facet of my personality, And thenthere's people are saying they just using it
as a tool to avoid responsibility,a tool to be a jerk, a
tool to be you know, tobe deplorable. And so that's where this
whole thing gets a bad rap,because again, all we look at is
the extremes. We we go tothe extremes behavior and we forget that.
(01:54:58):
No, most it's in the middle. Also, I'm expressing myself. I'm
wearing a beanie and a fucking blackbomber jacket. That's my uniform for today.
This is kind of your youth.This is how I'm expressing myself in
a way I dress. Right.Also, I'm a big fan of Pokemon,
So that's why, like I havea Pokemon I could, I could?
I could now I can dig inand gets you five or six references
(01:55:18):
out of you. Oh yeah,of course that's that. But that's just
you amalgamizing your your influences. Andhere I'm expressing this and unfortunately it's easy
to number one, you know,like like like the idea of gay marriage,
right, it wasn't that. Itwas more about the abuse of hypersexuality,
(01:55:39):
of guys walking down the street andnaked and you know, and like
being just peral. Like no,no, you can't force people. You
can't put that in front everybody.That's not fair. You can't just win
on self expression when it's respectful ofthe environments. Like okay, you know,
(01:56:00):
you know, don't nobody wants tosee your penis. Keep it to
yourself, guys, you know,come on, nobody will hey, keep
your keep your body to yourself fornow. That's like, that's at some
point we maybe walk around naked again, that's the that's a general acceptance.
That's fine. But you know,again, the parameters of the culture.
We have an agreement, we're tryingto do this, and there's the battle
(01:56:20):
on how far the tolerance. Yeah, what's the tolerance there? So no,
we do not you know, wedo not kill dogs in America.
Go to China, Well we eatthe fuckers. Well, all right,
culture, you know, how doyou how do you blend those cultures?
So I think, what's what I'msaying that when I'm like, you're really
(01:56:42):
you're gonna suffer for the sins ofthe crazy fuckers. You're gonna suffer.
You're referring obviously you're taking it upthe ash and and and then you know
with bottles and your you know,obviously that's you're gonna and kind of the
worst behavior. It's like, yeah, again, to go to racial behavior,
right, you take the worst exampleof a group of people and now
(01:57:06):
you apply to this group that prettymuch is like everybody else. Right,
So that's that's what you're that's again, it's that's why I look on pack
and see it's same exact thing withany other fucking identity. Some takes,
the extremes will the extreme, themiddle, the bulk of it will be
(01:57:26):
contaminated by the extremes behavior. That'sall so rock gone, miss free.
No, That's why I think it'sso interesting because there is such a change
in between the exaggerative forms of itand the base, which is like,
Okay, this is just how Isee things and how I look at things.
It's interesting to me that you knowin the comments there will be fifteen
(01:57:46):
fucking comments of huh huh, he'swearing a color, and it's like,
we just want two hours talking aboutextremely, extremely in depth shit, and
you're more worried about devaluing somebody becauseof the way they want to perceive themselves
instead of the words that are comingout of their mouth. If he's an
asshole in the situation, sure,call him an asshole. But see dangering
what you're saying though, that judgmenthas because the idea I just had this
(01:58:11):
conversation to stay with somebody. It'slike he's a hard liner. This guy's
a real hard line on the right. And we're talking about if Trump becomes
president. He says, I hopehe takes he goes after all these fuckers
that I go, No, No, that's the mistake. The idea is
you don't. You're not going tochange somebody who's way out there on the
right. But if by having compassionand tolerance and not beating somebody up for
(01:58:35):
not understanding something right away, nowyou're going to capture that ten or fifteen
percent that's you know on the Nowyou've made a bigger bubble is now when
you say, hey, you knowwhat, maybe this conversation will help somebody
not be so judgment not be stuckin an idea that Okay, if you
if you say you're referred, thenyou're out there raping children in bathrooms because
(01:58:59):
that's what you see you Well,yeah, yeah, but okay, there's
one there's this thing. Now there'ssome furries attack these kids on a school.
Yeah, the kids got kicked out. So that's the story that the
kids are dressing up like cats andthe scratching kids. The kids can't defend
themselves and they're they're the ones thatbeing kicked out of school because they punched
(01:59:20):
this kid in the face. Wellthat's the story, you see. Yeah,
And so maybe a conversation like thiswhere we're not we say hey,
no, no, don't jump tothat conclusion. Let's bring it in gently
to back to reality. What's reallygoing on. It's a form of expression.
It's like back in the sixties youlet your hair grow. Why it's
a form of expression. I wantto this is my identifying with. This
(01:59:42):
is the culture I identify with.You know, I'm wearing tie dye.
Hey, I wore I wore Tshirts and jeans because I identified with that,
and I wore as a hockey team, I had a jacket. I
identify with that. This is nothis is how I it Correct me if
I'm wrong, But I'm putting inthe same category as anybody else who's like
this is something I I just Isort of like have an affinity for,
(02:00:09):
you know, I like athletes.So I get that. I go back
to I find it more appealing andstuff like anime or comic books or cartoon
characters. You you fine, peopledressed up like people aspect you ever dressed
up like your character to do that, but other people do Yeah, the
couseplay and all that other fun peoplepeople have causplayed as you know, your
(02:00:34):
character, yes, and instead ofyou exactly, so like that's where they
jump over you to become that character. In a way. It's like yeah,
cool, and it's you know again, the idea is, but you
know, to go back to mypoint. If I don't want to be
criticizing at all, I'm saying,you know that, let's be careful of
condemning people who don't understand because theydon't understand, so taking that being generously
(02:00:58):
look at No, wait, whatdo you think is going on here?
Let me let me tell you what'sgoing on. Any idea is that if
we have to destroy everybody who missesthe point, that's why we are where
we are, you know, bringeverybody back to the middle, gently say
come on, now, that's notwhat we're saying. Like this, we
could solve all these problems in anafternoon if we didn't have to defend,
(02:01:20):
you know, points of view likeOkay, what's Oh I thought you're doing
this. Oh you're not raping childrenin the bathroom. Oh that's cool.
You know. So you creating anemotional response to something that's not us.
And that's exactly what the entire worldhas done. We've caused all of our
(02:01:42):
responses to everything to become an emotionalresponse, even if it doesn't personally affect
us. Well, I think everythingis. We are. We are still
primal creatures. We are still fightor flight in our cortex. Are you
know when this would for the peepit's our reptilian response is fight or flight.
(02:02:06):
You know, baby, we seethat and we we don't see a
mirror. We see that. Sothat's taking care of me that looks like
me, you know. If it'sagainst our team, whether you're red or
blue, yes, all of asudden, it is an emotional response.
You're attacking me, You're attacking thevalidity of me, my opinion and my
(02:02:29):
thoughts and everybody on my side.So I have to come at you and
come for your neck just to sithere and accept that, you know,
I'm a person. And that's theshitty thing is like everybody wants to pigeonhole
everybody into a hole. And youknow that's the point of this show,
real men talk shit, is understandingthat we're going to say whatever the fuck
(02:02:49):
is on our mind and be openminded, and we're be closed minded if
something doesn't make sense. And thankyou Woods for coming on. Make sure
to go check out Woods, checkout g Fuel, check out Factor.
There's been a hell of an episode. We'll see if Falcon later
