00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:13.960
Oh, we've got to not first
as much. That was one of the
2
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:21.760
things I know and I'm already conscious
of it. Somebody's not not time in
3
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:26.839
place to put put those words and
just to drop them like it's Sir.
4
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:33.240
I know if I'm drinking, then
the F bomb is everywhere. Oh,
5
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:36.600
I know, me too, and
I and I only speak in a Boston
6
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:42.119
accent. Yes, that's fine.
One Girl Says Speak Boston. It's annoying
7
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.640
to hear because what does that mean? Number One and number two, and
8
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:49.840
then when I get tests like that, I start going to Boston accent,
9
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:55.000
so she wants, and I get
mad because it's all the expensive me.
10
00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:00.399
I'm played. What's up everybody?
This is big time fresh. My name
11
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:06.079
is Bella Mars and I'm here today
with my college buddy. His name is
12
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:14.840
ricky, Rick Bross, like Rick
the ruler. We're talking about that situation
13
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:21.959
where there's like a like mine,
kind of single mom, and there's like
14
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:26.920
other people coming in and out of
life and then, yeah, I don't
15
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.920
understand. What would you mind meeting
my kids? Like I'm like, I
16
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.920
don't care, I'm not. I'm
not adopting them. You're not bringing papers,
17
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.959
right. Yeah, I don't mind. I don't mind meeting anybody.
18
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:45.519
Yeah, well, that's that's one
of the now you got me on edge
19
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:49.040
with that question. You know.
It's like, is this one of those
20
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.120
things where meeting my kids means take
kids, this is your new dad.
21
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.879
It's it's crazy because at the same
time it's so different. I know for
22
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:04.000
me personally, I'm not introed.
You think anybody ever until it's like super,
23
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.439
super serious, because I don't.
It's not worth somebody getting attached,
24
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:10.719
like if you're with somebody for two
years, for example, that's like a
25
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:14.960
connection you're making with the kids.
First of all, the guy or the
26
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.879
other person has to really, you
know, think about I love this girl
27
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.520
and she has kids, but I
still want her. That's a big deal
28
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.879
in itself. So if you go
about doing that and then all of a
29
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:31.840
sudden you break up that want Um
kids and don't have them, you know,
30
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:37.879
like that's saying. This is me, but like, like, like
31
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.400
me, I've gotten to the stage
where I haven't had a wife or a
32
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:45.280
divorce and had a kid nothing.
So some people are looking for that and
33
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:49.400
then that's a way for them to
like cheat and speed up. That ain't
34
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:53.319
me. So I don't know that
thought process that I never knew that was
35
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:58.400
a thing. My perception is that
I shouldn't feel this way because I am
36
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:04.319
this this demograph. But if you're
a single mom, then having a kid
37
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:09.439
and somebody coming into the relationship with
you, having a kid is like baggage,
38
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.680
which I think it is for a
lot of people, which is which
39
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.400
is whatever. But I didn't think
about the other side where it could be
40
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:23.120
something that people would actually want,
or some guys would actually want, which
41
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:28.039
I get, because that's like a
big ten years, I think, from
42
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:34.919
you know, meeting, marriage,
whatever. Kids skip all that and I've
43
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:43.159
seen situations where it's, you know, the stepparents are super involved and Um,
44
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.800
you know, they adopt the kids
and it's all that cute stuff.
45
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:52.599
Everyone gonna drop the stigma about divorce
and Um and and step parents and stuff,
46
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:57.599
because now it's like, you know, a Stepdad isn't the old school
47
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.520
quintes Sachel comes home and fucking beat
you because he's an alcoholic and you know
48
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:06.919
you're afraid of him. No,
step that usually is because the biological dad
49
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:11.520
just wasn't working out for whatever reason. What's not okay is when you stay
50
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.000
together and you put the kid in
the toxic in your talking between your toxic
51
00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:19.680
relationship. But you know, so
that sucks and, uh, it's a
52
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:24.480
selfish thing for the parents to do. So I think now it's becoming more,
53
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:29.600
more, and I'm speaking not as
a parent, and it's becoming more
54
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:31.879
normal. Yeah, yeah, and
it's like an almost a negligible thing.
55
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:36.199
People are calling their Stepdad's Dad,
you know, and ship like that.
56
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:40.480
And Uh, and really, yeah, it's just who do you see as
57
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.800
a father figure in your life?
Called that person death? I mean,
58
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:48.920
for Christ's sake, you know how
many girls called Me Dad? D You
59
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:55.319
have you have it, and then
you didn't follow through. But try that
60
00:04:55.399 --> 00:05:01.000
again. Okay, so we're both
almost are we almost forty? No,
61
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:05.519
I'M gonna say mid Thirties. Relax, and thirty six. Okay, okay,
62
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:14.319
relax, I'm thirty seven. Okay, UM, single. So I
63
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.360
don't think. I don't think.
It's like I'm having a blast. I
64
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:21.439
feel like it's I'm good until you
know, my daughter's eighteen. I'm gonna
65
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:27.199
write, write it out, Um, which is what which is ten?
66
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.439
Ten more years, Um, and
then, you know, I'll think about
67
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:34.680
it. But to your point,
from earlier. How do friends with benefits
68
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:39.920
even work? Because the only people
that are kind of in the same stage
69
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:46.160
of being single are like mid twenties, where they're still kind of they don't
70
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.360
care, they're not looking to settle
down, they're open to the idea of
71
00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:53.160
being fronds with benefits, that these
are blankets stagent in Jamaican. You know,
72
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:59.000
I'm the situation I brought up earlier
was very specific. Right, yeah,
73
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:03.759
okay, so generally people, this
is the perception is you can be
74
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:09.360
friends with a girl, which is
false, I think, excepting very weird
75
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:14.959
certain situations, because you end up
talking them. If you, guys,
76
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.519
ask yourself honestly, because you say, oh no, I have a girl
77
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:24.199
that's a friend. If you honestly
fucking ask yourself that, um is she
78
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.920
really might don't want to hang out
with her if she didn't have a vagina,
79
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.160
tell me the answer is fucking yes, I guarantee you the bomb.
80
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:39.319
But here's the other thing, though. What does that make us? Right,
81
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:44.560
friends the girl? Okay, right, but you just countered your own
82
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:49.319
no, no, I said it's
there. It's it's Um impossible for guys
83
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:56.439
to be friends with girls. Accepting
a very specific so, let's be honest.
84
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.759
That's the reality of it. So
friends with benefits are are like we're
85
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:04.680
friends. We have not hooked up
right, and that would be if we
86
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:10.160
start hooking up right and then try
to contain this level of friendship and Camaraderie
87
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:14.360
we currently have. That will never
happen because if you hook up, you
88
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:18.160
inherently sex does that to you.
What Fox up the relationship? Yeah,
89
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:23.879
I agree. I don't know,
and suck it up. It changes it
90
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:29.560
and whether it makes it better or
worse, it depends on the situation.
91
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:34.319
But Ninety five percent of the time
usually end and those people not being friends
92
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.959
five years later. You know,
what do you think the main what do
93
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:41.639
you think it is? If you
had a pin? One of them gets
94
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.720
jealous. Yeah, that's what I
was going to say. One of one
95
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.800
of them takes it's that's easy.
One one of them always takes it serious,
96
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:53.920
more serious than the other, and
gets attached and then that causes problems.
97
00:07:53.959 --> 00:08:00.680
That's always a situation and that's that. But I think that there's different
98
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.519
to be said with I said earlier. Well, what what if you're like
99
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.680
truly friends and then you just you
consider a one off as a favor,
100
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:13.439
like you're driving over to the airport. You know, how could that be?
101
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.120
Well, it could be different like
this way. Less emotional attached,
102
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.639
because depending on the act it's because
if you have sex with somebody, you're
103
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.600
emotionally attached to him and then,
but if you blow somebody, I don't
104
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.439
think you'd probably be that much attached
him. I don't know. I mean
105
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.720
age is a big factor, but
I could agree with yeah, we'll just
106
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.279
like, there's a lot of letters
levels. So it's so. So,
107
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.679
how do you so? What's the
difference between that and friends with benefits?
108
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.159
So how do you not fuck that
up? Well, YOU'RE gonna keep the
109
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:52.240
true one off situation. Yeah,
it as a favor and obviously if that
110
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:58.000
person keeps requesting that favor, it's
not it's turning into you know, it's
111
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.919
a getting out of hand. Yeah, yeah, so, yeah, I
112
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:05.559
thought about that the other day,
but I think, like friends of benefits,
113
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:07.840
the one way to find out.
I don't know. You want to
114
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:13.960
do me a favor? I gotta
get to Florida, man, I'm all
115
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:18.360
the way over here. We can
if you flying me out there and then
116
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.279
a hotel, I'll think about it. I'll take my decision when I get
117
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.080
who's doing a favor at that point? Only put you up in hotel.
118
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.600
Oh, how do you like the
breakers? That okay, Oh, yeah,
119
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.039
yeah, Oh, can you do
me a favor? What do you
120
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.759
how much? Is this friendship plus? It would gradually friendship plus, any
121
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.759
friendship plus. This is friendship.
And Hey, if you're with me and
122
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:41.840
I and Hey, I forgot my
wallet at home. Right, we stopped
123
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:45.519
at gas station. I need you
to buy me a pack of smokes.
124
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.399
Huh, well, I wouldn't buy
you a pack of smokes. Hey,
125
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.200
you buy me about and do?
Is that gonna ruin our friendship? No,
126
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.440
who cares? No, no,
but it's not. Specifically, I'm
127
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:58.879
not talking about me and you know, but we're the characters in the scenario.
128
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:05.759
Yeah, I think of it as
the mountain news. It's like,
129
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.960
I'll get you back when you need
it. Yeah, exactly. I owe
130
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.120
you one. All right, yeah, I don't know, and I don't
131
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.159
drink about do every day? You
shouldn't. Exactly. That's a good yep,
132
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.679
that's a good God, I am
good. I am good. Put
133
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.840
me up there with the best of
the best philosophers. I really this is
134
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:31.919
I'm glad Richard. I remember with
your Oh my God, I'm the most
135
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:37.840
amazing person. It looks like you're
sweaty out there. That's hottest. Fuck.
136
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.000
Is Not even a wind. And
then I was going to turn on
137
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:48.039
the fan, but it's probably loud. Oh Yeah's almost or there. Who
138
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.799
am I going to wake up?
I'm sure your love it. They hate
139
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:58.200
me. The only times that that
it's called the guard date on Karens.
140
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:00.879
Do you have any Karens up in
your name? Were I would have seen
141
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.600
everything that. At this point,
the guard gates loved me that I drive
142
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.799
by them all the time and they
fucking wave right. But he calls him
143
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.039
all the time, because I remember
a guard gate came one time and I
144
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:15.879
was just I I think it was
this bike, I don't know, and
145
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.039
I had to drain the carburetor and
then put gas and so I want to
146
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.200
make sure it works, so I
started so the guys will go through it,
147
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:28.399
and literally got called on that and
the guard gate comes and he's like,
148
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.039
he's like yeah, he's like,
he's like if you even just like
149
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.360
just do it quiet or at least
away from, you know, this area,
150
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.240
because and they adjusted. He's like, because we get a lot of
151
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:43.519
complaints from yeah, like yeah,
no, I feel yeah, and then
152
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:48.120
ever since then I make sure I
just panic rabbit right in front of his
153
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.679
house every time, because you're not
doing it past quiet hours, are you?
154
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:56.919
Yeah, oh well, okay,
I don't know who said him on.
155
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:03.080
Then are like seven o'clock pm.
And plus they don't have laws here.
156
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:07.600
They get ruled. They don't have
rules, the laws of community respect.
157
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.320
If I hear people out at midnight
doing that ship, no, I'm
158
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.759
not gonna call the cops, but
I'm gonna go out myself and be like
159
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:18.399
Yo, yeah, but then can't
because it's like it's a fucking vehicle.
160
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:26.840
We're gonna do it's true. So
people just cant hate because I'm gonna have
161
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:33.200
a lot of beats coming out of
your mouth, beats, beets, because
162
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:39.919
you're you got a lot of f
bombs. Who Cares? We're allowed them.
163
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.720
No, I have to edit them
out, all of them, not
164
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:48.840
all of them, just most of
them. Well, usually if there's a
165
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:54.120
lot, especially together, then usually
I'm not saying anything that that worth no
166
00:12:54.320 --> 00:13:01.159
real cut completely, you know,
because I that's one thing I hated was
167
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.879
all the F bombs that I said
but when I say I'm sometimes I just
168
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.480
nail it. So the ones I
nailed stick like a gymnast. You better
169
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.519
not beep, you know. Oh, I know exactly what we're talking about
170
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:18.000
actually. So, Oh, you
do. Okay, this is that scenario
171
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.759
where I want to punch you.
Yeah, that's why I'm glad you're not
172
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.840
right next to it. You Know
Me. You should be me too also,
173
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:31.120
because I've been looking to punch somebody
and he's really been around. Sure,
174
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.679
what is that? What the kids
are calling it these days? Punching,
175
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.919
punching, Gross Punch you, like
punch your face, like I pretty
176
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:46.919
sure you would jump because of comments
like this. Okay, but you love
177
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:52.960
it. It fires me up and
I think it also makes me laugh.
178
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.159
Yeah, I get fired up a
lot lately. I'll tell you right now
179
00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:00.679
when I'm fired up about. I
have on youtube like day because it's on
180
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:03.240
my computer and I just let it
play or whatever, and I've been watching
181
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:09.600
queen videos, like the band queen. You know who queen is, right.
182
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:15.360
Yeah, all of these kids are
just, you know, are finding
183
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:20.200
out Bohemian rap city and they're like, Oh, does this guy write his
184
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.960
own songs? That's been happening with
every like and it's I'm such an asshole
185
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:30.320
for being like this and I am
recognized that I'm a Dick. And it
186
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:35.919
is what it is, though,
because that there's no appreciation for the actual
187
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:41.279
art of music and the people who
came before to make it what it is
188
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.120
today. Somebody said, Oh,
I thought it was Bohemian rap city.
189
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.279
No one knows. Well, I
mean, in their defense, it sounds
190
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.919
like it, it is, but
it's not. But like you know,
191
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:01.240
so on the tip off, I
think you're gonna to your therapist. Okay,
192
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.879
I'm gonna be honest. As your
friends, I feel like there's something
193
00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:07.480
more going on. What's going on? No, because I'm I have a
194
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.799
very thing. Is My favorite band
and I have a very strong affinity for
195
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:18.000
Freddie Mercury and he's had the biggest
impact on music in society, more than
196
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.720
you know, Madonna or whatever.
So for people to not know who they
197
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:24.039
are and to not know their songs, it's me. This is me being
198
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:26.879
an asshole and I know that.
No, it's not, because I get
199
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:31.159
the same I feel you. You
know, Queen's the first album I have
200
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.480
our owned. Really, yeah,
I feel you. But, Um,
201
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.600
you can't blame these people. They
don't know this is when, this is
202
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.320
they were if we were listening to
Queen, we were listening to Oldies,
203
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.679
like if we were listening up in
Buddy Holly. You know, I think
204
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:52.360
I'm I'm more upset this. Fact
is I'm getting old and maybe I should
205
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.039
just look at it from that perspective, like we gotta relax a little bit
206
00:15:56.039 --> 00:16:03.759
here. I'm fired up. What
isn't music to chill you out? Yeah,
207
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:10.759
but right now I'm just upset.
I feel you. In all seriousness,
208
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.240
I know what you're saying. Everybody's
ignorant to actual music, where it
209
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.919
came from the roots of what they're
listening to auto tune. All I hear
210
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.799
is, Oh, don't worry,
we'll fix it in post. There was
211
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:26.480
no post back then. There was
no digital recording. How to record on
212
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:30.240
a tape and then over dubbed,
like it's just striking me crazy, and
213
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:36.559
it's nobody's fault. It's really nobody's
fault, and I used to be okay,
214
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:38.480
here's a good example. I Dj, do you know what? You
215
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:45.360
know that and I only did vinyl
and because I feel like if you knew
216
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.200
how to scratch vinyl and mixed vinyl. You actually know how to fucking do
217
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:55.639
the art of Dj whereas the computer
stuff that was out, it was automatic,
218
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:57.559
right, spoke it up for you, would put it at the draw
219
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:02.639
for you, whatever. Yeah,
and it took no skill. So it
220
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:04.119
was just pressed play and go.
And I'm like, you know what,
221
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:08.680
that's stupid. But that was me
being ignorant to the Times. Because,
222
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:11.200
guys, what, if you want
to throw a party now, they're gonna
223
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:17.720
hire the person with the electronic equipment, not the stuff, because it's not
224
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:22.799
a scratch battle. You know,
it's just like so sometimes you're gonna embrace
225
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.440
the change, but it's hard.
So what, when we come from what
226
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.799
we know and what we like and
what we're have an affinity for, what's
227
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:38.400
that like? Nostalgic? What we're
nostalgic for? I feel yeah, I
228
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:42.599
know food fighter said they made this
comment maybe like five years ago at this
229
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:45.960
point, and they said, you
know, they record as a band,
230
00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:49.119
you know, not like individual parts, but they record as a band and
231
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:53.559
as a whole, and it's not
it's it's they try to say as authentic
232
00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:57.240
as they can to the whole process
of what they did back in the nineties.
233
00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:02.799
But that's the only that's that's it. That's all I can think of
234
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:08.759
right now. Get over it,
anyway. Okay, I'm over it.
235
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:18.200
Rands over. I'm not over it, but no, it sucks. It's
236
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.279
sad. It is sad because I
what came on the radio the other day,
237
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:27.240
if not yesterday, two days ago. was six, nine or not.
238
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:32.119
You're not on the radio, but
on my spotify, right, yeah,
239
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:40.319
Dun cloud something, and I'm like, and even he in an interview,
240
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.720
was like yeah, Bro, all
I say is like, have you
241
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:49.440
listened to my songs? All I
say that. See what what he's like
242
00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:53.799
that. I'm not saying anything,
BRO, and I'm like, I know,
243
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:57.759
but it was. That's that's one
of his songs comes on and I'm
244
00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:04.200
just like this stuff fucking disgrace to
everything. But I mean, okay,
245
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:08.039
the throwing money at these people,
what the fuck? You know what I
246
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:15.880
do? I do you appreciate him
for telling that truth? He's like,
247
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:21.240
I know, I'm a ridiculous yeah, I think I like him, but
248
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:25.880
for but like, let's just talk
about the quality of music. Like,
249
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:30.640
Oh God, off his music.
I mean fun me, but he obvious
250
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:33.680
he had a great marketing ploy and
ship yeah, that's all it is today.
251
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.240
And so a lot of the problems
that they had back in the day
252
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:41.960
with Queen, when, you know, the management company was making all the
253
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:45.240
money and they didn't see a dime
and they were starving and stuff. That
254
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:49.680
problem has not been solved. That
happening with Queen. It happened with in
255
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:52.839
sync or whatever. But, like, how do we fix that? You
256
00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:59.440
know, it's sad. You don't, because it's okay, it's music.
257
00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:04.799
Is Not a burning man event.
It's not for pleasure, it's for it's
258
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:08.440
business. Okay, music is business. If it was for pleasure and it
259
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:15.839
was for like, okay, the
orchestra is music. Is Music based on
260
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:21.559
talent. They get the best violenist, the best people in their craft and
261
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:23.519
you know, I'll never understand any
of the stuff they do, but you
262
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:29.160
know, they do incredible things and
but they they're none of them are millionaires,
263
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:33.000
but but they probably enjoy you know
what I mean, right, and
264
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:34.720
they enjoy it. And that's the
thing. Like they and they are the
265
00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:41.039
people that enjoy music and harness it
and love it like we do. These
266
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:42.599
people. You gotta look this way. You're gonna wear this, wear this
267
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:47.119
and you need to your yeah,
know, that's that's what they do,
268
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:52.000
that's it's a business. Jimi Hendricks
up and they were told to do that.
269
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:55.000
That's how they are, that's who
they are. That's you know,
270
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:59.319
Jimmy Hendricks played the left hand and
guitar, bore the scarf around his head.
271
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:04.319
And now everyone's like whatever their manager, whatever their stylists, says,
272
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:10.440
um, because it's more of a
business now. You know, back then
273
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:15.319
it was like wishy washy, and
then you had superstars like Hendrix, because
274
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:19.640
all the the times too, it's
like after no, and he's he's all
275
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:25.359
about peace and yeah, everyone's tripped
and they go see Hendrix. He's amazing.
276
00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:29.480
And now everyone loves hendricks. So
now people, I. can make
277
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:33.160
money and bag money here. So
now you get the vultures, you know.
278
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:37.799
And Yeah, current musicians from like
the nineties. I guess. How
279
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:42.119
do we solve it? Before I
forget, not here's how we solve it.
280
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:48.279
We we provide financial literacy to the
artist, because, guess what,
281
00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:52.799
the NFL in the I don't know
if other sports places are doing it,
282
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:57.079
but the NFL is requiring the rookies
to take Um. I think it's two
283
00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:03.680
semesters of financial literacy. Yeah,
that is so smart. It's an awesome
284
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:08.000
move and I think that that's the
way that because then pick and choose their
285
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:12.200
deals and see which ones you know, they won't get fucked exactly. If
286
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:15.640
they do, it's their own fault. At least they'll know what they're getting
287
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.519
into. So I think financial literacy, because we're not going to change the
288
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:23.559
companies, so we're gonna change the
people, the infl yeah, and I
289
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:30.519
also think this apply. This concept
should apply to whoever gets voted into any
290
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:37.039
kind of office politically. They should
take a test on what the first ten
291
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:41.200
amendments are. That's it. What
are the amendments? Take a little quiz.
292
00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:44.519
What's an amendment three? Amendment four? We all know what amendment one
293
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:48.000
and two are, but what's the
rest of them? I don't I don't
294
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:52.880
know exactly. Political politicians need to
know what they're talking about, because right
295
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.200
now they're saying, oh, they're
gonna take our guns. No, Bro,
296
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.440
we can't. It's not that we're
not gonna take your guns. Read
297
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:06.160
the Damn Constitution before you go out
and say all these things. If everybody
298
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:10.920
read those who is currently holding office
and the craziest they have to pass that
299
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:14.480
test first. If they don't pass
that test, that means they don't even
300
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:15.599
care. You know what I mean, like if you want to be an
301
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:22.319
audience defending the government, tests right
in school and ship. And if they
302
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:26.519
pass another one, doesn't mean they're
gonna behave, because the reason they're not.
303
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.160
But if they don't pass do you
think right now Donald Trump would pass?
304
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:37.000
Yeah, the test, you're you're
kidding me on what? On the
305
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:41.240
first on the top ten, the
amendments of the Constitution? Yeah, yeah,
306
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:45.799
I think most of the people would
know. Absolutely not. I disagree,
307
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:52.000
wholeheartedly disagree. Well, okay,
the point is, even if they
308
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:56.480
don't know them, if they were
going to have to take a test,
309
00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:59.799
a bother them? They just study
them, know them, pass the test
310
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.640
and then my point is, if
they know them or if they don't know
311
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.920
him, you're gonna get the same
outcome. It would be the level of
312
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:11.880
effort. I think a lot of
people would how much effort did you put
313
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:17.200
into memorize and just a few things
to pass the tests at school? None,
314
00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:19.640
okay, ten minutes could study.
Well, it would show a lot,
315
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:22.839
because I'm sure there's it wouldn't show
that much. What would show a
316
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.519
lot. Is this is they're gonna
have a law in place where this is
317
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.640
what Warren Bobby said. I act
and and and I'M gonna paraphrase it wrong,
318
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:38.880
but it's something like this. People
in the in the in the in
319
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:45.680
government, should only be able to
keep their jobs, probably this. They
320
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:49.400
get fired if their policies end up
putting us in debt or losing US money.
321
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:55.359
Okay, then everybody would shape up
quick because they wouldn't have because what
322
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:57.240
they're doing is acting and self interests. They know what the funk they're doing.
323
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:02.119
There's every there every I can't even
get into it, but everything they're
324
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:07.559
doing right now is not in the
public's interest or what the public wants.
325
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.880
Politics a game and it's a zero
sum game in my kin, and I
326
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:15.759
feel like don't matter whose president,
don't matter nothing. I agree. Yeah,
327
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:18.920
it's gonna Happen and it is what
it is, and I think there's
328
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.920
no way to disprove that, because
you can't get in the time machine and
329
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.440
pick someone else and they say,
Oh, I told you that would happen.
330
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:29.440
You know, they can say whatever
they want, but it's not happen.
331
00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:30.799
You don't even want to go here
with me. But look, I
332
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:38.839
don't I know. Everything was fine
when we were youngsters, Um, and
333
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:42.240
now they're crazy. So, yeah, I'm starting my own country. You
334
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:45.640
fix a problem, you get to
make a law, but it has to
335
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:52.200
be approved by, you know,
cabin I thought about moving like I feel.
336
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:56.440
I mean, I'm a coster RECON
citizen. So did you know that?
337
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:02.359
I said I'm a cooster reconsider since
so I can where where you're gonna
338
00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:04.319
move? Let's be honest. Costa
Rica, San Jose, Costa Rica,
339
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:11.319
because they're okay, so down there. No, there's gonna be a civil
340
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:15.079
war here. And like, Oh
my God, Dude, are you?
341
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:21.599
Are you of America already says that
there's a civil war coming, but I'm
342
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:23.920
saying like, people are gonna go
take unto the streets. For Real,
343
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:27.720
that's already had. That's happening every
day. You're not realized that? No,
344
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:30.240
I realize that, but I'm not
talking about how it is today.
345
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.920
I'm talking about no, there's not
gonna be red coats and blue coats.
346
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:37.559
There's just not. It's not gonna
be a civil war like that. Ever.
347
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:42.799
and Um, we are in a
civil and a civil war where a
348
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:48.000
civil divide. Yeah, and that's
getting worse. But I don't think that's
349
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:52.240
what that's that's my plan. That's
not by accident. That's why I refused
350
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:55.960
to feed into it and talk to
people. I feed into it because I
351
00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:59.079
think I watched too much news,
because I just get so stressed out.
352
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:04.839
I want to for Congress. I'm
running for president, Kennedy hair and I'm
353
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:14.720
Kennedy, good looking, Massachusetts,
Massachusetts. I'm a candidate. I'll be
354
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:17.599
no, I want to be president. You can be vice present or CO
355
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:25.079
presidents. I refuse to report to
you. That's facts. You ain't even
356
00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:30.359
reporting to me, sweetheart. You'RE
gonna report to like the person that reports
357
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:33.359
to the person that reports to me. After that comment's fuck, you just
358
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:38.960
got fired. Actually, alright,
I want to work with you anyway.
359
00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:45.039
You're you're the worst. I can't
you want that bunch. They want to
360
00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:48.720
Luke in your house. Okay,
okay, so you're in the music.
361
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.039
Let's do this real quick. I
played this game the other day with somebody.
362
00:27:53.519 --> 00:28:02.200
Um, so it'll be for each
of the the decade. What is
363
00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:06.359
your favorite song from this whatever decades? And it can be a guest,
364
00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:10.160
because I don't sometimes it's sixties sometimes
it's like Seventies. You know what I
365
00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:15.039
mean? M Hm. So,
so, starting with right now, who's
366
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:21.839
your favorite artists? This is not
gonna go well because I don't have one.
367
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:27.960
Yeah, thanks for ruining the game. No, I'm not ruining it,
368
00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:32.400
would be playing it. You're saying
you don't listen to any music right
369
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:33.519
now. Is that? Is that
what I said? Or did I say
370
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.640
I don't have a favorite artist?
Shut up, man. Well, no,
371
00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:40.920
I can't remember. What did I
say? Yeah, that's right.
372
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:45.000
The second let's say you want to
be a podcast list all right, Um,
373
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:51.400
what about right now? I'm back
on Queen. Yeah, you're doing
374
00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:55.720
the study and research. Yeah,
I know, but I mean when I
375
00:28:55.799 --> 00:28:59.880
play the guitar, it's different,
like I like to play. Certainly.
376
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:03.160
Oh, do you watch? Do
you watch that stranger things or no?
377
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:08.680
Yeah, but I haven't gotten.
I've stopped after a season, fucking one
378
00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:14.160
and a half. You don't like
it. After two I didn't like and
379
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:17.720
I'm just over it. Just stick
to four. I'll fill you in.
380
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:22.680
There's a recap to every season and
it's way different. It's this one's more
381
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.160
of a horror movie versus the other
ones that were like well, there's a
382
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:30.160
monster tracing alien movies and monster movies, the ones that have real good build
383
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:36.640
ups. They need to have a
good monster or else it's ruins the entire
384
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:40.680
movie. Yeah, like it's happening
and I think it's like a serial killer
385
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:42.720
and it ends up being like,
Oh, an ancient curse, and I'm
386
00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:47.480
like, alright, Sonny, I'm
back, come back from the other okay.
387
00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:51.920
So I think we would like season
four because the scariest part about it
388
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:57.000
is that it gets people if they
have issues that they haven't dealt with yet.
389
00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:03.960
The UH, his name is whatever, the Bekna, is like this
390
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:10.960
really scary person that feeds off of
feeds off of the people that have emotional
391
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:15.359
issues that they need to deal with. So like one kid felt really guilty
392
00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:18.799
that he was in a car accident
with his friends and the car was burning
393
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:25.559
and he didn't really kind of help
um so that they took him kind of
394
00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:32.119
out of consciousness and they killed him
in real life and in the I don't
395
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:33.519
know, you just have to see
it, because it breaks me out,
396
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:37.559
because I'm like do I not have
I like when they were just in the
397
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:41.880
arcade and the monster was coming,
and now it's too involved you know,
398
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:47.200
like alternate universe, upside down,
downside up, and this that all the
399
00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:49.920
kids are growing up. You know
what, this weekend I watched season one
400
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:55.559
through three so that I could just
just remember it all, because there's so
401
00:30:55.640 --> 00:30:56.839
much. They have one more season
left, so I just wanted to make
402
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:03.000
sure that I pick up on everything. They are so adorable when they start
403
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:07.519
getting into, because people are telling
me to get into it was trailer Park
404
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:15.920
Boys. What's that on Netflix?
What is it called? Trailer Park Boys?
405
00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:19.559
Yeah, that's pretty funny. Yeah, because one of the guy's name
406
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:22.440
is ricky. So everyone's like,
Oh, reggy, Oh yeah, you
407
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:27.480
like smoking weed, you like smoking. I go oh, yeah, there's
408
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:33.880
there's one about Canada that's kind of
like that style. It's on Hulu,
409
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:36.319
though, and I think you would
love it. I think you would think
410
00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:40.880
it's pretty hilarious. Um, I
gotta I'll figure it out. You Have
411
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:47.039
Hulu. Maybe I got it all
right last time. You did most of
412
00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:49.680
the talking, I think this time, but pretty even. That's why I
413
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:53.480
tried to scale back, because I
don't like myself. I don't like I
414
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:57.599
don't either, but I gotta get
used to it. Now. We're never
415
00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:04.920
really huh. What are you gonna
do after this? Jack off to your
416
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:12.920
Avatar? I don't like him.
Appreciate the honesty. More like that.
417
00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:15.599
What would you say I was?
I was I was raised not to be
418
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:20.440
a liar. No, I don't
know what am I gonna do. Actually,
419
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:23.839
I do know what I'm gonna do
after this. I'm gonna Watch sort
420
00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:29.319
of trailer park boys. Well,
I got some good fucking ship today at
421
00:32:29.319 --> 00:32:31.759
the dispensary, so I'm gonna roll
one up, roll a hog leg up
422
00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:38.079
right and then go into outer space
and then, uh, watch an episode
423
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:44.759
trail park boys and then wash up
and go to bed. Okay, what
424
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:50.640
gross? Okay, so if you, if you will jump on board with
425
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:53.680
stranger things, which just sounds like
you won't. They have those options where
426
00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:59.079
you can watch for somebody else,
you know, you can like, you
427
00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:01.119
can like a sink it up to
where there's an option. They're like,
428
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:05.359
Oh, this is a watch party, and then the people can get on
429
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:08.720
that watch party. I like your
red headphones, by the way. Thank
430
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:13.640
you. They're beat spy DRE.
They're very you right now watching panic at
431
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:17.279
the disco on TV. He's a
really good singer, that Brandon Urie,
432
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:23.200
did you ever listen to panic at
the disco? No, isn't it panic
433
00:33:23.839 --> 00:33:30.319
at the disco? Really can necessary
to get the apt up in the middle
434
00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:37.119
of your band name at the discobout? How wham? Did they have a
435
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:43.480
Pham One of those bands? I
don't know. I think so. I
436
00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:45.880
think you need to go to bed. Maybe it that was an album cover.
437
