(00:25):
this is the. This is show for me and my Bros.

Your hurry, your mind that makessense.
Speak about whatever. No judgment you put in there.

(01:31):
Give me a episode. 91. 90 yo yougot that was quiet Episode 90.
What, 9191? I don't believe you, Sir.
Yeah. It it it's a sad time in the
world right now. What?
Yeah. Well, I was going to say why,

(01:52):
but like, that's a stupid question.
Yeah. Yeah, it's a sad time in the
world, man. We we lost our poop.
Yeah, JD Vance killed him. I was about to say that.
That's just crazy, JD. Vance killed him, man.
No, I bought some real shit. I've been sad about that.

(02:12):
Yeah, he was. I remember.
Oh, damn. I peeked.
I remember when he got in there.It's just felt like one of
those, I don't know, in regards to whatever those things are
supposed to be symbolic. Yeah.

(02:33):
I think about, like that Pope inthe same way I kind of think
about like, oh, Mama, in terms of like the way they carried
themselves and the things they stood for.
Like it felt like it was like a beacon of something to like
strive for as people, as as humanity.

(02:56):
I feel like Pope Francis did that a lot.
Like, over the course of us getting older, we got to see
that because, like, yeah, there was a lot of humanity in that
person. Lot of humanity.
Yeah. I feel like really brought like

(03:17):
what closest one of the closest examples of like what it really
meant to be like a Christian. Yeah, yeah.
Yo, that's crazy. Yo.
I'm kind of surprised right now.I thought, I thought, I thought

(03:38):
I was going to have to like, putyou on to like the humanity and,
and, and Pope Francis and you literally took all the words
right out of my mouth. Yo that, that was a good Pope.
Yeah, stuff like that is important to me.
So like, I'm of course, I'm verysomething I've paid attention to

(04:01):
much of my life because that stuff matters.
That was a good Pope. Yeah.
And that's another reason why I like like, I maybe I like rave
and like bash things, the hypocrisy from groups sometimes
like like Christians. I love it though, especially in

(04:24):
America. Like, you know, we talk about
this a lot, like with how they treat poor people, etcetera.
And I feel like, how can there be like someone in a position
like that, like Pope Francis doing what they're doing?
And then you have people that look towards the Pope as like,

(04:48):
that's supposed to be like theirbeacon in a way.
And then just be like do or say some of like the most
unchristian like things while claiming to be like I and I'm
not, I'm not Christian myself. So I guess it's like, what horse
do I have in the race or whatever?

(05:10):
But humanity. But yeah, it's like the
humanity. It's like, no, like that's like
that's the message of like Jesus.
That's the message of like close, close to it, man.
I like when, you know, you people treat people like people.
Yeah, this is gonna this is gonna be a weird thing to talk

(05:32):
about. I don't even know how to
approach this topic. It's like this is sensitive
topic incoming sensitive topic incoming people with
mutilations, deformities, thingsthat catch eyes and attention
for the negative reasons of people are just like drawn to

(05:56):
look at it in shock or look awayout of like uncomfortableness or
like whatever that is. Because that's a real thing that
people do in interactions. And you have to make a conscious
effort as a human to human and remind yourself that you're just

(06:18):
standing across from another human and you look them in their
eyes like you would any other human.
And you know, there's a soul in there and a person in there
who's going through whatever thehell kind of life they're going
through. And you just show them the
decency of treating them like anequal.

(06:39):
Because like I feel like even ina modern society like ours,
people that may happen to be dealing with those things have
to deal with those things and participate in society as well.
And I feel like maybe I'm like stepping out of line or like

(07:04):
miss saying or projecting or something.
But I feel like people don't look towards these people and
like give them the same space orhumanity that they would someone
who looks more normal. Yeah.
So like, it's one of those things I make extra in extra

(07:28):
intentional effort towards like in my day-to-day because like I
want to try to help offset whatever there is in that area.
That's all. Why is that like, controversial?
Controversial. Am I wrong?

(07:50):
Like I feel like people do do that.
No, 'cause I think, like, I think it's kind of rude.
I don't know if this makes a connection to anything that
you're saying, but I think it's rude, rude to patronize folks

(08:10):
for those reasons. I think that like, everyone
should be regarded and treated like a human being.
You know what I mean? So I try to give the same normal
interaction that I would give anyone you know I guess.
Absolutely. Yeah.
So I, I think I'm picking up what you're putting down.

(08:34):
Yeah, it over there. All right.
From like what I see is just like I feel like I see people
generally have. I don't know what it is.
Maybe it's just a social thing, like a difficult time
interacting with people with disabilities, with anything that
makes them appear less normal. Yeah.

(08:58):
Like, I just feel like I see that.
Yeah, a lot. I wonder about this sometimes
actually in my weird wondering moments because like, I think
it's pretty cool to find biological, no, evolutional
biological evolution. Something something biology,

(09:22):
evolutional biology has an answer for like all these weird
like things that humans do. There's like a cool answer for
it, right? Like, why are you naturally
afraid of the dark? Yeah, you know the answer to
that. Like there's all these or road

(09:45):
rage or whatever, like that all comes from like things that are
like wired in your genetics fromovertime.
So I just I've always wondered, like what is it that makes
humans do that towards other humans that have that that are
not the same? You know, there's there's

(10:06):
probably some weird quirky like reason and evolutional biology.
I'm sure I'm not saying those words right.
Sounds good to me. Yo, do you have a favorite Pope
Francis moment? That's a good question.

(10:27):
I'm thinking of a few. I have when you want me to go
first. You can go first.
I'm not too familiar with certain Catholic traditions, but
I know there's this certain day where the Pope goes and he like

(10:50):
washes the Bishop's feet or the cardinal's feet or whatever.
And usually, like, that's not something the Pope would ever
do. It's just this one special day
that he does it. And it's symbolic to something,
probably Jesus washing the feet of sinners.

(11:12):
But on this day that he was supposed to wash their feet, he
didn't, and instead he went and washed the feet of prisoners.
That's badass. That's awesome.
I didn't know that. One, or if it wasn't prisoners,
it was like halfway house or program troubled folks.

(11:36):
Yeah, that was fire. That was fire.
Or when they when they asked them the questions about being
gay. That's a that would probably be
that would probably be like one of my number ones.
Huh? That would probably be one of my
number ones. That one.
That was a really crazy moment. Yeah, the Pope was like, who am

(11:56):
I to judge? Yeah, Like what?
What that that was like, I wouldthat's yeah, that was probably
the moment I was like, Oh yeah, yeah, We we finally got a good
Pope. They like put himself down to
more like normal people level. Like there's like I didn't know
this one, but like there's like a standing, I guess tradition to

(12:17):
like wear like red shoes the Pope and like he didn't he wore
like some like really old like sneakers.
Basically it's like no. Yeah, he gave up the Pope's
living space. That too, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. He, he, he, that was a oh, he,

(12:41):
addressed he. Did COVID?
He definitely he addressed all the scandals, sex scandals in
the church. That was a big deal.
And I was thinking this week, right?
It's like, you know how some people believe that like you,

(13:07):
you'll die when like you've doneeverything that you're supposed
to do, like everything that God has for you to do, that's when
you'll, you'll go, right? That's when it's your time.
And it's like, how crazy is it to live like such a good life,
such a good life, But the one last thing he had to do before

(13:33):
he could go go be reunited with Christ is tell JD Vance, you're
wrong, dawg, you're wrong. That was like the last thing on
his, like all the things God gave him to do.
The last thing was tell JD Vancehe's wrong.
That's how you know it's about to be some bullshit about to

(13:54):
happen because like you literally had somebody who was
like one of the highest religious positions outside of
like Christ and modern day, right?
According to their theology. Pope, the Pope, and it's like.
JD Vance is a Catholic, mind you.

(14:16):
He literally went, told them they need to be more
compassionate and then died. Tried to tried to curve him
first and sent his right hand man out and said go tell him
he's. Wrong.
Yeah, and JD Vance insisted, probably with American
arrogance. Yeah, insisted on meeting the

(14:36):
Pope. Did you even say thank you?
Come out there and and did you even say thank you, Mr. Pope?
And like, that's, that's crazy. That would be like if I could
relate it to my life, right? This is why I kind of felt like,
not bad, but like I had some empathy towards JD Vance, right?

(15:01):
Because I put myself in his shoes, right?
Killed the Pope, yo. Because if you told me I had the
opportunity to meet the Dalai Lama, right, I would be.
I just know all the feelings that would be inside of me and
what I would be experiencing themoments leading up to meeting
him and then seeing him in person and then speaking to him

(15:22):
in person, right? And then he tells me, Ace, you,
you're a fucked up individual. It's like.
Then you're not good. That's.
What that was to JD Vance, No, like he is a cat and.
That's why he killed him. Jesus Christ.

(15:42):
What I mean it. Holy shit, that's where I stand.
Womp womp womp. RIP Pope Francis.
He he actually is actually even is more gross than that.
They insisted on doing that meeting because they wanted the

(16:04):
photo op because the Pope has like these Easter basket like
gift things that he gives out. So like since they had the
meeting with the Pope, they got these gift baskets so they could
take pictures of the baskets with the Pope.
Like for Easter. It was like they were like
forcing it so they could do likea photo op.
Crazy. And then dude has like that last

(16:26):
burst of energy that people havelike right before they die.
And then like 30 minutes after the meeting he died.
Not weird or anything, not suspect.
It's almost like all these people in high level positions

(16:50):
that don't agree with these guysjust die.
I don't know, kind of weird. Kind of weird.
I've heard stranger things. They're like, look, if fucking
Russia and China are doing it, why aren't we doing it?
Let's just start fucking off andpeople.
I just ain't go. I ain't get, I ain't get sucked

(17:10):
in. I ain't get sucked in.
But. I'm I'm.
I'm. I feel like so much of this
could be just like, taken as a bit so far too Oh.
It's all a bit. So it's good.
It's all a bit. It's all a bit.
Just a big bit big old bit big old bitty.

(17:34):
I don't even know how he got here.
Yeah. Pope Francis.
He was a. Real one, Yeah.
There we go. That's how we got here.
That's a shame. Yeah.
It's like, yeah, like Obama, like Obama in the in the
symbolic mess of like, that's what we would hope to.
At least that's what I thought we were.

(17:54):
That's supposed to, you know, strive for.
Lately it's. I don't know what happened to
those values just seem to have disappeared all completely for
many. Facts Padre Pio Pia.
Padre Pia. Not familiar.

(18:15):
Not familiar. Not familiar.
I wasn't until COVID. It was a weird connection.
There's actually a shrine for Padre Pia Dark.
Can you look up Padre Pia? Yeah, you can do it right there.

(18:36):
Padre PAD RE PO Padre pio I was saying it.
Wrong, and if you change it AP out for AM it's madre.

(18:56):
Padre Pio, umm, he, he was uh, Scroll down a little bit, let me
read. I need to see what he was.
Umm, Father Pierce. He was a priest.
Click the. Click that.

(19:18):
Yeah. But he was a stigmatist.
Always click those. Priest Stigmatist.
And. Mystic.
He is vent venerated as a St. inthe Catholic Church celebrated
on the 23rd of September. He was marked by stigmata in

(19:40):
1918. You know what that is?
That is when you have the the strange, mysterious wounds of
Christ. Mother Teresa apparently
suffered from the same thing. Wounds of Christ.
Yeah, like on on their wrists and their feet where Christ got

(20:02):
the nails just magically wounds.And it's like recorded and
stuff. Big debate in the history world
whether they were self induced or not.
Especially with Padre Pio. Some things could be explained a

(20:24):
little bit, like decrying of blood and the sweating of blood,
which Christ was alleged to do when he was praying before he
knew he was going to be arrestedand crucified because soldiers
in war sometimes cry and sweat blood.
It's like a stress thing. But anyone, like when you're

(20:45):
reading history, anyone that it says suffered or is marked by
stigmata means that they had some weird, strange wound that
couldn't be explained that was connected to whatever Christ
suffered. But he was big because he did a

(21:06):
lot through the Spanish, the Spanish flu, which was like the
COVID of the early 1900s. And there's a shrine for him in
violin. Spanish flu was. 1918 a.
Lot worse than code correct. I'm not a.
Lot worse, I think. Way worse.
Go to Google. Like way, way worse.

(21:27):
No, no, I like up in the web. Yeah, yeah.
Google GOOG. There you go.
What was worse, the Spanish flu or COVID?
No, that's not what he asked the.
Spanish. Flu.
That is not what? He asked.
What was worse? It's like you gave him a

(21:51):
telephone. No.
Wait. You got this, You got this.
There we go. OK click Show more alright the

(22:13):
Spanish Flu 19/18/1919 and COVID-19 2019 present That's
crazy 100 years apart. We're both devasting pandemics,
but COVID-19 had a significantlyhigher mortality rate compared
to the Spanish flu. While the Spanish flu infected a
larger percentage of the global population, COVID-19 caused a

(22:37):
higher proportion of deaths among those infected.
Wait, well I want a raw number. Mortality rate.
Yeah, I want to see how many. COVID-19 had a higher case
fatality rate around 1.5 to 2.5%compared to the Spanish Flu.
Flu's estimated estimated 2.5 to5%.

(23:00):
This means that a greater percentage of people who
contracted COVID-19 died compared to the Spanish Flu.
Hey Siri, how many people died from the Spanish flu?
50,000,050 million. Hey, Siri, from COVID.

(23:20):
Hey, Siri, how many people died from COVID-19?
You also looked it up because Siri is now being talking about
COVID. So, you know, I'm going to get
the new administration's view onCOVID.
How many, How many people died from COVID?

(23:40):
Yeah. All right.
And then here they are saying, Oh yeah, you know.
How many people die from Spanishflu?
50 million. That's what Siri said.
Yeah. All right, go back, hit the back
button up there. Yeah, there's seven, 704
million. So was that AI just being wrong?

(24:05):
Is that response at the top? Was Google AI?
Yeah, I guess so. Look at that.
That wouldn't be a surprise though, I've caught AI being
wrong so many times. So did we Look, We just caught
AI being wrong. It's wrong.
That's crazy. Spanish flu was, I knew it.

(24:25):
I knew it 'cause like, I remember, I remembered the hiss,
like back during swine flu, people were talking about
Spanish Flu. That's why I really actually
don't like AI. That's another reason why I
don't like AI, 'cause that kind of shit.
And then people fucking go around acting like they know the
facts. Yeah, yeah, for real.

(24:47):
And they argue it like, with their whole soul.
Yeah, and it's wrong. Yeah, it's crazy.
I don't suffer fools though, so I don't.
I don't argue with them. Somebody can tell somebody has,
somebody has to, because there'sgot to be a way.
Because if you could change likeone in every 20 people's mind

(25:10):
right there, if you can change like one in 20 people's minds,
yeah, it's worth it. You ain't going to change.
Not one of them. A fool you can.
Not if not if I don't try. Reason with a fool.
Not if I don't try. A more power to you brother.
I learned that lesson a long time ago.

(25:30):
I mean, I get it. Yeah, I get it.
I'd I'm not underestimating the task in front of me.
That's a busy doozy. That's like trying to solve
World Peace. That is difficult, but I think
there's an answer. Maybe you find one a solid 1.

(25:51):
Yeah, I got one actually. What the the reason with fools?
For World Peace. Oh, World Peace.
You know. Yeah.
Empathy, empathy. That's a good start.
Yeah, be great start, but. I'm debating in my head if I

(26:13):
want to talk shit. Talk shit I don't.
Know. Talk shit bro.
World Peace. World Peace.
Easy. Hate is manufactured is it?
It's usually taught. Yeah.
Now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is in general and like mostly when kids learn hate,

(26:37):
it's because an adult teaches them hate facts.
Like, I don't think the world isa hateful play.
And then I think societal structures and governments and
economies and all these, there'sthings put in place to like keep
the system the way it is in thatsense to continue like creating

(27:01):
these outcomes. Yeah.
Because like, it keeps people against each other.
Yeah, there's definitely interest in the benefit in in
the division facts. And if we and if we can't even
like get ourselves together here, it's going to be a lot

(27:21):
harder to get everyone together across the world.
But other governments don't wantto.
They don't want to. People start having friction
amongst each other mostly because like struggles in life
and it's like those struggles inlife are also manufactured.
Those are manufactured struggles.
Like you're being ripped off every day.
You're being ripped off at your job, you're being ripped off by

(27:41):
your government, you're being ripped off by everything's
ripping you off and no, and there's no punishment for it
anymore. It's just like everyone's
stealing from you all the time, everywhere, but that causes the
friction. It's like.
You get, you get stolen from today.
Did you get stolen from today? No, you had.

(28:02):
No, you've been solid. Today, today's all good day.
Yeah, I know. No.
What about yesterday? No.
You saw it yesterday. Why are you?
Why are you asking? I'm just asking.
That's weird. Why?
I don't know what you want to know next.

(28:25):
Well, because I was like you said, like you said that like
we're all just being stolen fromall the time, all day, every
day. And then that made me think like
a quick reflection of my life and I'm like, damn, who's
stealing from me and where and how?
Stealing your time, stealing your labour, stealing your
energy, stealing your production, stealing everything.

(28:48):
Yeah, like stealing your tax dollars.
Everything's being stolen from you.
Yeah, now they're stealing your rights point blank.
Period. No other way to paint it, like,
huh? Anyways.
Damn. That's how I feel.
Oh yeah, I respect we need a soundboard for moments like

(29:10):
this. And then the people fighting to
save the fucking founding papersin the 1st place are the things,
the pieces of what is supposed to be important about this
country in the 1st place are thepeople that were supposedly the
fucking communists. Like it's like almost just

(29:36):
comedic and just how like full of shit and like ass backwards
everything but logic is non existent.
Like there's no accountability, there's nothing.
What's the latest cause? I've been so unplugged I don't
know what's even going on other than JD Vance killed the Pope,

(29:59):
which I say sarcastically. I know you were serious.
JD Vance killed the Pope. I'm trying to think like,
there's just so much. It's hard to even like fucking
put my brain in one single spot.They they announced that they're
unpausing. I don't want to talk about this

(30:20):
shit. I'm going to just say this and
we'll just talk about something else.
They announced that they're likeI'm pausing the pause on
collections for student loan debt.
Cancelling the pause on it, Yeah.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I did hear.That it got put in on like in
2020. And if you owe money, you're

(30:45):
going your tax refunds are goingto be withheld.
And that's going to affect like.5 million, some people, yeah,
that's a lot, yeah. Was that?
How does? That Can somebody explain to me
how that helps stimulate? The.
Economy because. Now there's going to.

(31:08):
Be people who already are struggling to pay their student
loans because the jobs that weresupposed to exist that they got
the degrees for aren't there, and they're trying to pay off
the degrees that they were told they needed to get but can't.
Pay it off. Without the job and then, then

(31:29):
you're going to withhold their tax refunds and put them even
further behind. I mean, I guess not really
because. You're using it to help pay off
their debt, quote UN quote. But the problem with a lot of
these. Student loans.
Is that they were predatory private loans.

(31:53):
And some of them are like. Upwards of like 12 to 16%
interest. Like there's people with 100.
$1000 loans that have paid $174,000 on their loan and still
have to pay $90,000 on it. Like.

(32:15):
OK, Are we going? To do that, well then.
How? About you go and.
Collect all that money from all those fucking businesses we
bailed out, all the Congress people we bail out, or anybody
we bail out banks. How about we go get the money
back that we bailed the banks out.
They owe us that money back. Oh no, just poor people.

(32:36):
OK, Yeah, anyways. Let's talk about some
motherfucking bullshit. I went to Easter dinner.
Yeah, I got invited to. Easter dinner.
Oh nice. Man, yeah, it was nice.
Did you? Have a good time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was a good time.

(33:00):
I got stuffed on Easter. Dinner.
Mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, Turkey.
That's good man, this was like the first holiday.
I spent with my mom's side of the family.
Yeah. And years.
Wow, years. What was that like?

(33:21):
It's nice. Nice, man.
It's nice. It was, it was mostly good.
That's good. My Nana was there.
Being mean to me. Oh shit, right what?
Did she mean to me? Yeah.
She was mean to me. Mean.
Always mean to me though. I'll call her right now.
She'd be mean to me. She's grumpy, grumpy girl.

(33:48):
I was peeved though. I got peeved.
Yeah. And I've realized today, tonight
actually, in fact, that this is going to I'm, this is going to
be a whole bit like I. I'm going to write a joke.
Off of this. I have a cousin.

(34:09):
Which I was telling you about before we were recording, right,
Corey? Her name was.
Crystal, she would. Prefer to be.
Called Corey, right? Just like my name is Aaron, but
I'd prefer to be called Ace. And usually like people have

(34:30):
their opinions. It's like whatever, whatever.
People want to feel what they. Feel right.
Let me preface this by saying. That I love my uncle very much.
Oh boy, here we. Go so like.
Oh man. I I'm I'm mentioning.
About. For some reason I.

(34:53):
My I have family. Members who for whatever reason,
doesn't want to call Corey, Corey, right?
My God. OK, OK.
That's what are we doing. Right, Right.
Right. What are we doing?

(35:13):
No. But listen, let's.
Part that, let's part all that. Let me just listen, let's part
all that, 'cause that's a whole different conversation.
Let's just stick to the name. That's just so just stick to the
name, right? So what peeved me?
Like I kept hearing it. That's what beeved me as it

(35:35):
would. Right as it would.
If you know. If you know somebody's, if
somebody prefers to go by this name and doesn't like to go by
the other name and you know, these people have been made
Privy to it, it's like, yo, you know, they don't want to be like
go by that name. Like why you keep calling them
by that name? Like I love my uncle Dex.

(35:58):
That's who I'm talking about. My uncle Dex, right?
His name is Dex. That's a cool ass name, right?
Dexter. My uncle Dex was the coolest
motherfucker growing up. Me as I was growing up, he was
like my father figure. I spent the most time with him
and my Nana. Coolest motherfucker, right?
All right. So.

(36:18):
This conversation happens right a couple times, and people say
what they say. I don't call her Corey.
I call her Grace. OK, My grandma says it.
Now I'm starting to get irritated.
Right? But I'm not going to correct
her. Yeah, right.
That's Nana. And first of all, I'm not.
Going to try to. Change the mind and reason with

(36:42):
a woman who. Just will never relate.
To the world that she. Has a few years left?
In it's just, it's no, it's no point, right?
That's my take on it. So I give, I give Nana a.
Pass. Right.

(37:02):
So then my my uncle. Says it in a different
conversation outside. He says the same thing.
I don't call Gord. And I'm that's when it like hit
me and I'm like, I'm looking at him and I chose silence, but it
just ate at me for like the lastweek.

(37:23):
I'm like, the irony in this is that my uncle Dex has been
called Dex my entire life. Everyone calls him Dex.
That's not his name. His name is Alfred.
Yeah, yeah, what the fuck? Like what?
Are we doing here? But he never wanted to be

(37:44):
called. Alfred.
He never wanted to be called Alfred, right?
So when he was growing up, he was called by his middle name,
Danny. That was his nickname, Danny.
Everyone called him Danny. And then he got older and he
changed his name to Dex and he has everyone calling him Dex so
like to. Me, I'm just.
Thinking when it got to the conversation with him, I'm like

(38:05):
thinking in my head like the irony and you refusing to
address this person by the name that they want to be.
And it's like it's not offensive.
It actually matches her personality more.
It's a cool name, but the irony in that, like you don't like
your name, You've never liked your name, You've never been

(38:28):
addressed by your name ever. Like your mom doesn't call you
by your birth name. No one knows you or calls you by
your birth name like you. Were called a made.
Up name and you're going to lookat another family member and be
like no, you can't be called anything other than what you
were my. Aunt does the same.

(38:49):
Thing that's crazy. My.
Aunt does the same thing to me. I love my aunt.
I love my Aunt Sherry so much she refuses to call me Ace,
right? I just at this point have just.
Accepted it. It's no big deal.

(39:10):
No big deal. But like, my mom will call me
ace. I don't care what my mom calls
me, she can call me whatever shewants.
But sometimes she calls me. Aaron, sometimes she calls me
Ace if we're around a lot of people.
Most of the time my mom will refer to me as Ace mainly.
Because that's just what. Everyone knows me as right, So

(39:33):
like she's going to call me Aaron, and everyone's looking
around like who's Aaron? But my aunt, she refuses.
And every time my mom calls me Ace, my aunt like says something
about it. It's like your name's my Ace.
It's Aaron, right? I could be.
Let's say I go out to eat with them, right?

(39:54):
This. Is what is irrational.
About it to me. If I go out to eat with my mom,
my. Aunt and my uncle, right?
That whole conversation, the whole time we're eating and
we're talking or whatever. She'll never call.
Me Ace. She'll always refer to me as
Aaron, meanwhile refer to her brother as Dex.

(40:18):
The whole conversation. I got a third part solid, the
third part all right. I'm ready.
I'll remember shit for. Years.
And then something will happen or be said, and then the puzzle
pieces just come together. Yup, it really.
Happens like that every time, right?

(40:38):
So listen when I say. Everyone knows me as Ace.
Shit just clicks. All of a sudden it's like, oh,
Ace was a nickname that was. Given to me when I was like 13
years old. It started off with my best
friend on the basketball team, then it grew to my basketball
team, and then it grew to my friends at school.
And then it just kept going and going from there to the point

(40:59):
where very quickly everyone justknew me as ace.
When I say everyone, I mean everyone.
Like I said, my mom will refer to me as ace, my Nana will refer
to me asce if she's around people.
In school growing up all my teachers and principals and
friends and schoolmates, everyone knew me as ace.

(41:21):
Every job that I've had up untilthe job I have now, all my
bosses have known me and called me ace.
All my Co workers have called meACE when I started this job
here. They kind of didn't treat me too
well. 'Cause I was just like some punk
kid from Salem. They've all admitted it.
I guess I grew on them. But they've refused to call me.

(41:46):
Ace And like I just had to accept it because like that's my
place of employment and like that's my legal name, so
whatever. And like to this day.
Like they all. Still call me Aaron.
And it's just because at this point, 13 years later, that's
just what I'm known as at work. Although it's irritating.

(42:07):
Whoa, last year. My boss is my friend too, by the
way. So like last year, we hired this
this guy that I was training to be a driver.
And. He had his, you know, his legal
name or whatever, but, and that's what we called him by his

(42:27):
first name, but he kept. Telling us like.
Yo, my nickname is I'm like all right that's cool, whatever.
But I noticed like I started using it but then like my boss
and friend wasn't and like aftera while I'm like.
Why won't you like? Use his nickname or whatever and

(42:49):
he told me he's like, I have a philosophy that I've always felt
was true. If there's someone you don't
like. You don't call them by their
nickname because then they thinkforever that you guys are like
friends. So you re no matter what you
always call them by their first name just to keep that clear

(43:13):
boundary there the fight. So what's?
That supposed to mean by you so didn't it?
Like all clicked. And I was like oh that's why
y'all damn refuse to. Use my nickname.
Damn, joke's on them though. It's.

(43:33):
Bad man. They fell.
In love with me and couldn't. Get rid of me.
So the jokes on them. Yeah, there you go.
But. I really don't.
I don't. Understand Like what?
Like what the? Big deal is to.
People about, people that are petty about about.
Nicknames. And shit like if it's nothing
defensive or ridiculous almost. Everyone I know has a.

(43:57):
Nickname because if some have names that are matched more to
like it's just shortened versionof their actual name.
But like almost everyone you know has a nickname like I
don't. I don't get what the big deal is
and I'm actually looking into legally.
Changing my name. To Ace.
Yeah, yeah. As soon as I get a little bit of
fuck you money, I'm changing my name illegally to Ace.

(44:21):
I can't wait to go to work and be like, don't ever fucking call
me Aaron again in all of your fucking lives.
They're going to all call you Aaron.
That's like a nickname. They're like it's our nickname
for you. Then you really fucked yourself.
Who's that? Oh, that's Aaron.
No longer is going to be like, like, but what's his real name?

(44:42):
Oh, his real name is Ace. Yo, I knew this guy.
Right, he was a. Co worker at one time and.
I'll say his first name because it it matters.
His name was Benjamin, right? St.
Dude. OK.
And you know, like Ben is for, you know, short for Benjamin.

(45:05):
So I guess like most of the timepeople, and at least I was
guilty of it too, most people just assume like Ben is cool.
Like you just start calling themBen.
You can't, you cannot call this man anything but Benjamin.
That's his name. He'll tell you.
He's very polite, Not polite. He's polite.
He's respectful. Respectful.

(45:26):
That's the word. He's respectful about it the
first time, and he'll tell you respectfully.
My name is Benjamin. Please call me Benjamin.
He'll fight you at work. We're both losing our job.
I don't even you call me Ben onemore time.
We'll both be unemployed. I don't.

(45:46):
I don't even blame him. No, I think that's intense.
I ain't. Fighting no one for calling me
Aaron. Oh no, I just.
Yeah, that's a little intense. Yeah, I eat whatever dog I.
Don't. Whatever.
You could call me. Worse, actually, I have.
Whatever. Yeah, I say.
Like I care, but like I don't really like.

(46:08):
I would prefer to be called my name like when.
I'm at work I. Would prefer to be called my
name at work, but. Like when I'm not at work, I.
Don't care if I'm cool with you,like it's whatever you say.
Whatever. I don't fucking call me.
You fucking call me dumb ass. I don't give a fuck.
Like whatever, doesn't matter. But when I'm at where you call

(46:31):
me my name, we lost the Pope. Yeah.
Did you know there's a anti? Pope, did you know that like.
In the swinging of pendulums if the Pope dies.
That means like. Every God, it means this is

(46:52):
some. Trippy shit can.
You look up anti Pope. Yeah, look up.
Pope. Peter the Third.
Yin Yang. So like the Pope dies but then
who's? It's going to be crazy yo watch.
Look. Wait.
Watch, I'm going to make a prediction right now, right?
Make it. Make it a prediction.

(47:14):
It's like some yin Yang shit. Right.
So the Pope died, right? Yep.
That means like. That means like now somebody
like, I don't know, like Kim Jong, Kim Jong Un.
Second one or like one of these like people, Kim Jong Un wanted
it. Someone of these mother fuckers
Putin, all of a sudden it's gonna it's gonna be no one's

(47:37):
even gonna spike. That's why I don't know about
Putin. Like that wouldn't be the one.
But like Kim Jong Un or like forwhatever reason, God forbid
something happened to like one of the other world leaders.
Like I feel like it's like something's about to happen.
The Pope died. Some shit's about to happen.
Yo click on that video. Yeah, click on that video.

(47:57):
Look at this shit. Watch, we're going to wake up
tomorrow and. It's going to be like President
of North Korea, Kim Jong Un has passed away.
If you thought president. Of.
Iran has died. Catholicism and the Pope.
And all that shit was all the Vatican type shit was already

(48:18):
woo woo enough. This is, this is a, this is
Spain's. What is the anti?
Pope. That guy right there.
Yeah, but what's the point? In the Catholic Church.
Whenever a group of people splitfrom that church in defiance of

(48:42):
rules or regulations or beliefs that they just don't feel
aligned with no more, they'll split off and become their own
church. And they they like this is hold
on Palmyran, Palmyran Church. And basically in 1970, they

(49:05):
split from the Catholic Church because they disagreed with them
and they said we're different. We're we're splitting from you
and just going to be our own thing.
But we're actually the true Catholic Church.
So we're going to have our own Pope and like you're the.
Fake shit and we're. The real thing.
That's what this church claims. So this guy right here, Pope?

(49:28):
Peter the Third. This is a church in Spain, and
they're a split off from the Catholic Church that claims they
are the true Catholic Church andthis is the true Pope.
All right, What kind of shit? Does what kind of good deeds
does he do this? Let me, let me, let me see this
guy's humanity. Let's put him out.
No humanity get. No, he gets carried.

(49:52):

I got to see this motherfucker all in my timeline and algorithm
talking about the Pope's not. Dead the.
One true Pope is still alive andalways was and always will be

(51:22):
the only true Pope. And I'm like, first of all, you
can believe whatever you want tobelieve, but how rude?
How rude the the rub, the smudge, all that in my face when
I'm grieving the loss of my Pope.
Isn't that rude? Isn't that rude?
His his fucking media team is like fucking perfect

(51:46):
opportunity. Roll out the clips I feel like I
want. To see him like.
Type in Pope Peter the Third. OK, carried in on chair or
whatever he said it was called. Thrown.
Yeah, I mean. Right, that's not it.

(52:12):
Just Scroll down, kiss my ring or I.
Give you plus one sin go down. See it's mess.
I don't. I don't want me to let.

(52:33):
Me just go to TikTok. If he was the really Pope.
Wouldn't it? If he was really the Pope and
God, and God really wanted him to be carried by humans, why are
they men for divine worship? In the truth, can you explain
that? All right, give me. 1.

(52:58):
Second, he gets kicked. What is this?
Yeah, no, we're not doing. That.
What is this? What is this you?
Got this man being carried in now you got this man right, He's
being carried in Triple Gold Crown, tired, carried in by
these men who are shaking. None of them look like they go
to leg day at all. They're all shaking, trying to

(53:20):
hold this man up right. But that thing, he's sitting.
On probably weighs like 600 lbs and then he's saying he's
probably man. On solid, meanwhile.
You got Pope Francis. Washing people's feet, accepting
new members into the family. Going.
Going to fucking poor nations all over the world, visiting all
over the world visiting their. Children.

(53:40):
Visiting their sick, visiting their homeless, giving them,
wishing them, praying for them for real.
It's crazy, crazy. Life's stranger than fiction,
man. Pope Francis is the.
Kind of Pope that would have like walked down the street in
New York and like blessed every homeless person he came across

(54:04):
you, you. You seen when he was on his
American, even if it would have got him killed.
He would have, he would have didthat.
He would stop his. Barricade or what they call
that? Yeah.
His motorcade, yeah. And get out and walk.
Up and and they would freak the.Fuck out because they're like
you're exposing yourself. So it's like bulletproof glass,

(54:24):
like you need to stay safe. He's like no, no, no, no, no.
I knew he the people. Need to see.
Me, I knew he was a different Pope.
The very first appearance he made as Pope when he came out
and in. The moment where he.
The Pope would usually bless everyone.

(54:45):
You know, the crowd, everyone who was there at the Vatican.
He asked them if they would all say a blessing for him in the
position that he was put in to be the best that he can be in
that position. I was like, oh, we're in.
There we're. In there, man.
I want. You to all pray for.
Me. Yeah, I'm.

(55:06):
Going to need to. Be the best I can for all of
you. Help me out.
Yeah, it's a fire way to go. I mean, like in terms of like
your stat sheet at the end of your life, like, for you to be
like, well, that was an interesting life.
Like the Pope was probably sitting like in the in his final

(55:30):
moments, like, we really did a lot.
We really did a lot. Fuck yeah.
He did like genuinely in his heart.
He like to reflect back, he probably had a lot of like good.
We're genuine like, because think about how good like just
little deeds make you feel. And then think about like the

(55:50):
Pope and what he went around doing.
It's like that dude must have felt like really just at peace
on his deathbed. Like he he really tried his best
I. I just learnt to.
I didn't know he was part of. I don't know what you would

(56:11):
actually call it, but it's like a sector of priesthood.
There's like a special group he was a part of and I can't.
Remember what it was called? But those particular priests in
that group like their. Whole devotion.
Is to like poverty like addressing poverty?

(56:38):
And he? Was the first Pope of that group
to ever be made Pope, and I believe he was the first ever
Latin Pope too. Well, yeah.
Transition out of a good talk into some racist bullshit.

(57:01):
Terrible. I realized.
Today this is probably about to be some racist ass shit I'm
about to say but Oh my God I believe.
It in my heart. Oh.
God no. I don't like where this is going
at all. I believe it in my.
Heart, I'm scared even more. It's doubling down.
I was somewhere the other day and I.

(57:22):
Can't remember the conversation so I'll tell you Part 2 more.
Part 2 will be more detailed. I was somewhere the other day in
a store and I was having a conversation and this this white
trucker behind me just like. Started talking.
To me and dude, like he was a part of the conversation and I
thought it was real weird but I didn't want to be rude so we

(57:44):
finished the conversation. I got up out there well today.
I'm at a golf. Course right, meeting with a
client first of all, I don't care what.
Anyone says you? Can feel however you feel about
me saying this. Golf culture is.
A cult then? Motherfuckers, that's a cult.

(58:07):
Absolutely 100. Percent occult.
That's some weird shit golf culture.
I don't, I don't get it. But anyway, I'm at this golf
course and I got my Bucky's T-shirt on that my mom sent me
from Saint Augustine. And as soon as I walk in.
The receptionist, she's like early 60s, late 50s proper golf.

(58:30):
Attire. Fuck that I I'm.
Far removed from golf cults. A lot of places won't even let
you in if you if. You're not dressed, that's true,
but. I'm contractor lucky older lady

(58:50):
receptionist, but I could tell she's a southern belle from her
accent. Soon as she see my shirt, she
just lit up. She's like, Oh my, I love
Bucky's and she's just going on and on and on.
Meanwhile, this whole time there's this young white girl
sitting has sitting in the hallway, right?
Mine was mine in her business. I I have like a whole 10 minute

(59:16):
conversation with this lady, right?
Me and this lady are talking about Bucky's 'cause I was
telling her about the Bucky. I was telling her about the.
Bucky's in Texas and whatnot. I didn't even notice it.
So. We're having this whole

(59:37):
conversation and this girl behind us just starts to our
backs drinking the drink. Our backs were.
Turned towards her so it wasn't even.
Like we were. Facing her and talking, our
backs were towards her and we'rehaving a.
Conversation. And she just starts talking to

(01:00:00):
us about Bucky's as if like she was a part of the conversation,
like without missing a beat and me and.
The lady are looking at each other.
And looking at her and it's like, OK, I guess you're part of
the conversation now. And we're like talking.
I'm like, and I left her thinking like, that's the second
time that's happened. What is it with white people

(01:00:22):
thinking that they they can justjust implant themselves into
shit that has nothing to do withthem?
Good. Question don't know the answer.
People need to learn to mind their.
Mind their business. Yep.

(01:00:44):
What is happening? I don't know man.
Whatever you say. Whatever you say, dog.
Episode 91. Yeah, White.

(01:01:07):
People should say mind their ownbusiness space.
Yeah, people really just be yeah, yeah, definitely.
And then? There's people who are like
extra. Emboldened and just be saying
some like fucking fuck shit and I'm like.

(01:01:28):
I'm like, what makes you think you can just?
Say that in public, Yeah. Like, you know, it's like it's
still against the law, right? Like people act like they and
probably. Just magically some authority
figure in open space. Yeah, it's crazy.
Especially Karen's and. Thank you.
And I'm sorry like 'cause you know, I maybe, you know, I'm out

(01:01:49):
of. Place for saying it's white
people. But you tell me, like most of
the time when it's some Karen ass bitch, it's some old white
white lady or it's some old ass white boomer dude, yeah.
Yeah, is it? Yeah.
People walk around like they're allowed.
To have an opinion on everything, Well, first of all,
you're allowed to have an opinion on everything.

(01:02:10):
But like. You just going to Give your
opinion? To a world full of people who
didn't ask you for it, you just walk up to people and just be
like yo this is my opinion that makes no sense.
Totally. I don't even know what's making
me think about this. I guess because the Karen thing,

(01:02:32):
it's like. Must just be like.
Oh. It must be that time of.
Month again that all the welfarepeople are out like in the.
Amount of times I hear that. When I'm at work, it's crazy and
it's like, dude, I'm like. This close like I'm.

(01:02:58):
All my job's gotta do is like cut two more hours off of how
much I get per week and I qualify for government
assistance and I work a full time job like.
People aren't mooching bro. Like that's just how fucking
shit is and you're too stupid tofucking realize it even though
people are literally telling youit to your face.

(01:03:19):
You just don't want to acknowledge reality for some
reason. Like people are literally
telling you exactly what's happening.
You're like, no. I'm just lazy.
Like, huh? That's not it though.
I. Had this thought.
Actually, I swear to God I had this thought today.

(01:03:41):
Boomers. The mostly there's a bit in
this. There's a bit in this.
Boomers are the first one to tell you you'll pull yourself up
by your bootstraps and. And I did it, figure it out, you
can do it. And meanwhile, we're all like,
well, listen, you got to understand that the rate of

(01:04:02):
inflation is climbing drastically versus wages not
moving. Yeah, practically at all, right,
Over the course of 50 years, right.
We're in a much different place.And it's like.
Our whole generation gets. Dismissed as lazy and dumb.

(01:04:26):
Meanwhile, the same boomers. Are complaining right now that
like their Social Security isn'tcovering the bills, no.
They they can't extrapolate. It doesn't.
The connection is a capable of being.
They can't because that would require them to face reality and

(01:04:46):
and have to come to terms that like their idea of what is
happening or how the world is working isn't what they thought
it was and they're. So late.
In their life that they're not going to it's.
Set in stone not. Because they can't change.
They can change. They don't want to change
anymore. They're like no, no, no, no, no.

(01:05:06):
I am who I am now. Deal with it.
But I feel like. Our generation is maybe a little
bit more open minded because we're able to look back at them
and reflect. Times is hard.
Times is hard. We'll get through it.
I had a friend come out of retirement.

(01:05:27):
I seen him this week. I ain't seen him in like 8
years. He actually played for the
Baltimore? No, he didn't play for the
Baltimore Ravens. He was friends with Ray Lewis I
believe. I'm not.
Maybe he did play. Look up real.

(01:05:48):
Quick, this will be the. Last thing, look up when the
Baltimore Ravens came to Baltimore.
I think it was 95. If it was 95, he he might have
played for the Baltimore Ravens.How do you spell?
Baltimore, BALTBLT. Just hit space.

(01:06:08):
And put Ravens. I thought we would have be able
to 'cause they were the Browns 96.

(01:06:32):
Yep, they were the Browns. Formerly the Cleveland Browns,
relocated to Baltimore 96. Yep.
Anyway, Rodney is his first name.
Seen him. Sharp man, sharp older man,
Sharp man, Always dressed. What do they call that dress to
the nines? What do they say?

(01:06:53):
Whatever that phrase is? Something like that, yeah.
Sharp. He's got a nice ass Mercedes
too. He can't.
I seen him. He's like, oh, I'm like, thought
you retired. He's like, man, I had to come
out of retirement. Just wasn't cutting it.
And I'm thinking in my head, like retired football player,

(01:07:16):
retired like venue manager. And you're saying times is it
ain't cutting it. You come.
And I asked him too. I'm like, damn, Rodney Times is
that is it really that bad? He got stuff to take care.
Of 'cause you probably, you know, you got a nice house and
stuff like that, You got stuff to upkeep.
Well, I asked him. I'm like.

(01:07:37):
You know, this time's really that hard, and he said I'm kind
of bored. Yeah, retirement gets.
Boring if you ain't got shit to do like you need fishing
buddies, you need going out buddies like you need to stay
active in retirement and you need to be going out with like
with friends to keep your mind and your soul like active

(01:07:59):
because you don't do that man inretirement.
I think genuinely is like a death sentence that you got to
be doing something in retirement.
Yeah, you can't just like if if you if your idea of retirement,
it's like I'm going to just sit on the couch and watch TV every
day and like mow my grass and that's it.
I mean it's. Going to be a nice low.

(01:08:21):
Seven years probably, maybe 8 years depending how.
Old are you I'm. Well, you know us, we probably
won't retire till we're like 80,but when?
Not because we we would. Probably want to retire before
that, but the opportunity to retire.
If we were to. Only work the jobs we're working

(01:08:45):
now and nothing else. None of our projects, nothing.
But we're not retiring till we're like fucking 89 years old.
I can't retire at all. Well.
Like this is just not possible. No, I mean I.
Would get Social Security but I don't have no type of retirement
plan or anything. I mean I guess I got my 4O1K

(01:09:07):
just pod I don't got even. Got that just podcast is my
fucking retirement investment. See how far I get yo?
Rodney made out. Great.
When he first got into the catering game, he bought this
place. Well, a buddy of his who also
played for the Ravens bought this place called Valley Mansion

(01:09:27):
in Cockeysville. And I mean, this place is
gorgeous. And he, I mean, it's like.
Ballroom. Style venue, right mansion.
And he turned it into like a a sports bar, like a extravagant

(01:09:52):
sports bar fire. And the fire.
Department kept shutting him down because he was over
occupancy capacity or. Whatever, right?
Occupancy capacity. Yup, like way.
Over. 'Cause everyone like that place
was just popping, popping and. They would.

(01:10:12):
Come in every weekend, Friday, Saturday, just shut them down.
How do you how do you expand? Something like that to allow
more occupancy and I think the where the venue.
'S set up is just like, no way to make it bigger and it's
already a fucking some way. You gotta hold people outside.
You just got to. Move.
You just got to go somewhere else.

(01:10:33):
You got to make a real venue. Make.
A venue. Venue.
I mean, I like a. Location.
Bro. When I say ballroom venue like
Valley Mansion like this is likea magic digger.
Is like. Go buy a mega church or a
warehouse. You're giving me like.

(01:10:53):
Ideas like I'm literally thinking that in my mind like.
Man, there should just be. Like a dinner party service.
Well, that's what it is now. And you just like have.
A mansion and you rent out the mansion for dinner parties.
Yeah. Yeah, that's what it is now,
fire. And like places like, let me

(01:11:18):
think of some of the big names we've done like Coca-Cola,
McDonald's, Pepsi, like all these big corporations, Under
Armour, Airbnb, that bit all these big places like they are,
when they do like their Christmas dinners and shit, this
is where they go, ah, that's dope.
Yeah. So when, Rodney.
Got it, 'cause that other player, he just got tired of

(01:11:41):
dealing with it and being he, heliterally just sold the place
and left everything in it. So when Rodney got it, he said
all the taps, all the kegs of beer were all still in the
cooler, all still full cases of beer, walk insurance, full of

(01:12:02):
cases of beer that was just leftthere, all the TV's for like all
the games and everything. Like the the dude just said fuck
it and left everything. So when they bought the
property, everything was still in there.
Wow. That's crazy.
That's actually what a come up. Yeah, big come up.
That's a come up. The I've been thinking like, I

(01:12:33):
wonder how much it would cost tolike convince of somebody who's
like an acquaintance to let you invest in their business.
How much it? Cost.
Yeah, yeah, like do dude who? I like who makes food Sometimes

(01:12:54):
I talk about the pizza right yeah they're doing a getting a
food truck. They already got like the food
truck and everything. I'm pretty sure I already did
the contract everything about a food, food truck, etcetera.
Right. Yeah, in.
My mind, I'm like. What's the price figure?

(01:13:16):
For like a. Down investment on something
like that to retain part of the profit.
It's that's difficult, man. You know what I mean?
I do know like. What is that like 6 grand?
10 grand? It's not like if you already.

(01:13:36):
Got the. Food truck because like.
In my mind, like a six. Or 10 grand investment when you
just bought the food truck? Yeah, like as bonus money on top
for you to start, like with helping with the expansion, I
feel like that's a lot of for anoutside source to come in and be

(01:13:56):
like I I could put down 10 grand, but like I would want
some kickback. I feel like that's like a fair
starting point, but maybe I'm unrealistic.
Yeah, yeah. 'Cause you want to, well, you,
you're basically saying you wantto be a silent investor, right?
The problem is like your. Ideas are it's.

(01:14:18):
Not that your ideas are wrong, it's that your ideas belong on a
corporate level. The things you're saying is like
corporate world things like a corporate someone with a
privately owned corporation, youcould go to them and be like,
you want to buy this percentage of it as a silent investor or

(01:14:39):
whatever And like it makes sense.
But when you're talking about like food truck, like that level
of small business, you doing something like that actually
would just hurt them because in that type of operation, the
money's not there in the beginning.
What it, what's more valuable than the money is the time and

(01:15:01):
the manpower to actually make all that happen.
So really like, unless you're going to go invest that
percentage of your time working for them for free and building
up that company, when it's all said and done for your small
percentage as a silent investor,you're actually just kind of
like putting more strain on their overhead and usually like

(01:15:23):
the amount of money. That that.
Percentage is valued at is nice like the first week that you
have it in your hand, but like it won't go very far and it's
not worth the pressure that getsput on that person's overhead.
Now having this silent investor and the only reason I know this

(01:15:43):
is because I just went through this with someone who tried to
do that with my thrift store andall they wanted was 2% as a
silent investor and I like brokeit down to him.
I'm like XYZ like 2% like first like it's just not worth it and.

(01:16:07):
The type of. Return that you want to see off
of that two it's going to be years before you see anything
that's significant off of that 2% definitely on the there I.
Definitely could see somebody's expectation when it comes to a
thrift store, like being like unrealistic when in terms of

(01:16:28):
like how much they're going to get back.
Although I've always been interested in like and this is
something my brother's been interested in.
I think everyone likes those TV shows with like the pod hunting
like the. The auctions where people.
Buy like the yo next time I do when I gotta take.
You with me? You know what I'm talking about
the. Contain the storage containers,

(01:16:51):
but that's TV though. It ain't like that.
Real life, Yeah. No, but.
Opening it up and like being like, oh, that's cool.
Like no, no, that's the part that's not.
Real. Yeah, everything's on the
computer. Yeah, they send you pictures and
then everyone's like in a chat room and then you like bid off
of the pictures and then whoeverwins gets to go to the Well,
boy, when you when you get to open that, man, that shit,

(01:17:14):
that's a lot of fun out of everything we do, we do the
clean outs, we do all that shit right out of everything, the
storage bids when we buy a storage unit, that shit's so
much fun. And and you could open.
It it could be all. Trash, you could open it.
It could be treasures in there, man, I've I've had both, but the

(01:17:35):
the adrenaline comes from like, OK, you been on the storage
unit, right, You win. All right, they're like, OK,
come here on the 18th between 9:00 and 3:00 and you can get
everything out the storage unit,right.
Bring your voucher, whatever. You clean it out.

(01:18:00):
The person who owned that storage unit has till the time
you leave the property to come in there and pay their bill.
And if they pay their bill, that's their shit.
You can't take it. So the whole time you're like
trying to hurry up and get like everything out of the storage

(01:18:21):
unit because like they can come and come.
You can have your whole truck loaded with the whole storage
unit and you'll have to put it all back.
It gets. You know it gets.
Pumped, but if you get it out and.
You're gone like it's too late as soon as you pull off the
property. Too late is done.
Done. Sealed.
Couldn't you just take one thingoff the?

(01:18:42):
Property at a time, no. You're not allowed to leave the
property until you actually clean out.
Like clean. Oh, OK.
Like clean, you got to go back to the office and sign paperwork
and stuff and then actually givethe cash.
Interesting. That's crazy.

(01:19:03):
That's. That's I really wished.
There was a way to. Get people.
Together or find the right resources.
I've got to like, reach out to like.
A coffee company and be like. This is where I live.

(01:19:27):
Here's some properties around me.
I think these would be good locations for a cafe I can.
Put down this much? Money, but obviously.
You're. An established chain.
I want to be an investor and. You put a location here, I
wonder. If that's like.

(01:19:47):
Something that's possible to be pitched.
I don't want to franchise it, no.
I just, yeah, I'm just wondering.
This thing is. I'm thinking about.
Episode 91. Old people talk more in the use

(01:20:10):
of the episode 91. Yeah.
Love you guys. That was a good one real quick.
Even. Though it was kind of.
Jam packed, Jam packed. Aren't they all?
Real quick before we get off here.
Computer tech. Computer equipment for the
podcast this I feel a little bitcringe doing this, but I'm going

(01:20:33):
to do it. I'm going to just put it out in
this in the universe and whatever happens, happens.
The computer equipment for the podcast here on birth therapy
and really, 'cause we I use the same equipment for all my
content is old and at the end ofits lifetime.
Oh shit, yeah. I'm like.

(01:20:54):
The graphic card in it is already gunk but.
Yeah, like if I try. To play a video, it just shuts
down and I got to reboot. Trying to edit videos has been a
nightmare for a workhorse computer that we need for the
podcast is about $400.00. I have half of it saved so far,

(01:21:19):
so I'm putting that out there ifthere's anyone who wants to
donate to the show or help out in any way.
That would be a. Tremendous way of helping.
If not, it's totally cool. It's totally cool.
We'll figure it out. And we're going to keep putting
out episodes either way. Even if we got a record on our
fucking phones, they'll be coming out.

(01:21:41):
Yup, we'll figure it out. Oh yeah, we will all.
Right love you guys take. Care, stay safe.
