00:00:01.021 --> 00:00:08.648
And welcome back to Miscellaneous Gander. Honest and otherwise outspoken. You hung in there.
00:00:09.717 --> 00:00:14.897
Stephen's back. Yay, Stephen. We were praying for you. We were praying for you,
00:00:14.897 --> 00:00:17.369
bud. I love it when people pray for you. I'm so happy to be here.
00:00:20.137 --> 00:00:25.489
Closer to the Lord. Every day we get closer. That's right.
00:00:26.977 --> 00:00:33.854
Okay, so we've been gone for a long time, folks. How long have we been gone?
00:00:35.597 --> 00:00:41.261
Oh, wow. Three weeks, four weeks, maybe a month. Wow. It's been a month at least.
00:00:42.666 --> 00:00:46.097
Because I recorded something in between the time that you were gone just saying
00:00:46.097 --> 00:00:48.883
that we were going to come back. I just saw the transcript. I didn't listen to it.
00:00:49.521 --> 00:00:56.077
That's okay. It was only like, yeah, it's okay. It was only like two minutes. It's okay.
00:00:56.637 --> 00:00:58.392
So it wasn't a long podcast. Okay.
00:00:59.512 --> 00:01:05.307
So really no it was not an actual episode it was just me saying hold on we'll
00:01:05.307 --> 00:01:12.437
be back so yeah alright there's so much going on so much.
00:01:13.993 --> 00:01:17.097
I don't even know if we want to talk about podcasts because there's just so
00:01:17.097 --> 00:01:21.857
much stuff going on I feel like you did?
00:01:21.857 --> 00:01:26.907
Okay I want to share this with you because I really really liked it I am surprised
00:01:26.907 --> 00:01:32.646
how much I liked it It's not very often that I like a podcast as much.
00:01:33.888 --> 00:01:40.824
As you, oh my goodness, I, Stephen, with a P.H. Kennedy board-certified atheist,
00:01:41.738 --> 00:01:43.573
knocking at your door. Let's do this.
00:01:44.483 --> 00:01:47.063
This is how long it's been since we last did an episode. Let's do this.
00:01:47.063 --> 00:01:49.376
Okay. And I did listen to a new podcast. I'm so embarrassed.
00:01:50.863 --> 00:01:54.683
I know. It's been a long time. That's okay. Go on. Tell me. Tell me.
00:01:54.683 --> 00:01:55.973
Tell us about your episode.
00:01:56.123 --> 00:02:00.603
As our listeners know, I think there's two categories of content that I really
00:02:00.603 --> 00:02:03.040
enjoy. One is something that's really educational.
00:02:03.568 --> 00:02:09.379
Another one is really stupid, batshit, crazy, quirky personalities.
00:02:09.995 --> 00:02:14.408
And this one falls in the category of really batshit crazy.
00:02:17.143 --> 00:02:21.753
And that really hurts my feelings. You know what I mean? It's like you're belittling
00:02:21.753 --> 00:02:23.869
me without, you're like a backhanded.
00:02:24.635 --> 00:02:25.784
I just don't know what you're saying.
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:30.613
Oh, it was backhanded for sure. It for sure was backhanded. I'm not even going
00:02:30.613 --> 00:02:34.063
to hide that. Okay, go on, though. Tell us the podcast.
00:02:36.283 --> 00:02:41.334
The podcast is called The Take Your Shoes Off Podcast.
00:02:43.433 --> 00:02:48.831
Oh, my God. This is a great question. How did you find this? I just stumbled upon it.
00:02:49.424 --> 00:02:53.893
I stumbled upon some reels on social. I can't remember which one,
00:02:53.893 --> 00:02:55.088
and I just fell in love with it.
00:02:55.547 --> 00:03:00.943
So the host, his name is Rick Glassman, and he's a host. He's a comedian,
00:03:00.943 --> 00:03:06.803
and he's really quirky. And the conversations, you know, it's almost at that
00:03:06.803 --> 00:03:10.129
level of best friends or bad friends. Oh, my gosh.
00:03:10.291 --> 00:03:13.246
I remember the name of my favorite podcast. It's ridiculous. Bad friend. Bad friend.
00:03:13.939 --> 00:03:19.351
It's almost it's it's it's it's pretty i'd say it's the closest i've gotten
00:03:19.351 --> 00:03:21.931
to bad friends it's not it's not quite bad friends but it's the closest i've
00:03:21.931 --> 00:03:25.321
gotten to bad friends and he's a comedian named rick glassman,
00:03:25.954 --> 00:03:33.821
rick glassman g-l-a-s-s-m-a-n the podcast is called take your shoes off with rick glassman and.
00:03:34.804 --> 00:03:39.802
Let me just read you his little profile hi i'm rick glassman and I'm a goofy guy and a cute boy.
00:03:40.214 --> 00:03:42.409
As a kid, I had to build OCD.
00:03:42.827 --> 00:03:44.580
I still have a lot of things.
00:03:45.166 --> 00:03:49.361
The title of my podcast, Take Your Shoes Off, is a microcosm of my need for
00:03:49.361 --> 00:03:54.344
control and order in a world that keeps their shoes on.
00:03:54.947 --> 00:03:59.681
I created this podcast to showcase a more serious side if I have conversations
00:03:59.681 --> 00:04:02.360
with some of the funniest and most interesting people in the world.
00:04:03.043 --> 00:04:09.091
I've learned the language of comedy in an attempt to survive this shoes on world
00:04:09.091 --> 00:04:13.091
so of course there will be some gooks and spruce but think of this podcast as
00:04:13.091 --> 00:04:16.104
you begin as as being a fly on the wall,
00:04:16.718 --> 00:04:19.673
as opposed to being an audience member in the theater,
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:24.111
you stick your shoes off and enjoy so that gives you an idea of where this whole
00:04:24.111 --> 00:04:28.242
podcast goes this is so silly like this but to this point you know i actually
00:04:28.562 --> 00:04:33.507
am ocd about you know when i see people walking around inside of a home with shoes on,
00:04:33.954 --> 00:04:37.136
it really irritates me do you want you wear shoes inside your home,
00:04:37.804 --> 00:04:42.351
oh we talked about we talked about this i told why do people think it's okay
00:04:42.351 --> 00:04:46.486
i have slippers walk around all the disgusting thing on the street and then,
00:04:46.967 --> 00:04:52.661
just come inside their house and walk around on the carpet on the floor sit
00:04:52.661 -->
Load full transcript
00:04:55.953
up on the couch with those shoes on why is that considered Okay,
00:04:56.110 --> 00:04:56.882
can you please explain me?
00:04:57.756 --> 00:05:01.626
I think it's cultural. Honestly, I just think that some people feel like if
00:05:01.626 --> 00:05:04.559
they clean their house, you know, whatever, it's not really there.
00:05:04.756 --> 00:05:08.710
I don't think people are, I don't think everyone, I should say,
00:05:09.260 --> 00:05:14.986
is thinking about it at that level of disgustingness of what comes in the house, right?
00:05:14.986 --> 00:05:19.666
I think because they didn't grow up that way, to my point about it's a cultural
00:05:19.666 --> 00:05:23.166
thing. Like if you grew up that way, I didn't start doing it until later in
00:05:23.166 --> 00:05:26.723
life because I grew up where you came in with your shoes on.
00:05:27.280 --> 00:05:31.117
It is an American thing, and I don't understand it. But that's an American thing.
00:05:31.816 --> 00:05:34.816
That is an American thing. That is an American thing. Yeah, so Asian households,
00:05:34.816 --> 00:05:37.383
you know, wearing shoes inside a house is not acceptable.
00:05:38.498 --> 00:05:42.268
It's not just Asian households. I mean, there's other households that are like
00:05:42.268 --> 00:05:43.949
that, too. Sometimes it's religious.
00:05:44.204 --> 00:05:47.178
In Muslim households, they don't do that, my understanding.
00:05:48.178 --> 00:05:51.876
In certain Jewish households, they don't do that, is my understanding, too.
00:05:52.388 --> 00:05:56.008
It really depends on how you were raised. When I say cultural,
00:05:56.008 --> 00:05:57.288
I don't necessarily mean race.
00:05:57.318 --> 00:06:02.298
I feel like everyone's very aware of the importance of washing your hands after
00:06:02.298 --> 00:06:04.018
you touch things on the streets.
00:06:04.922 --> 00:06:09.488
But for some reason, walking around the house with your shoes on is normal.
00:06:09.488 --> 00:06:11.012
I just don't, I don't get it. I don't get it.
00:06:11.475 --> 00:06:15.318
Okay. I'm not judgmental. There's no judgment.
00:06:15.698 --> 00:06:20.638
It's all about keeping your area clean. You cannot have a clean home if you
00:06:20.638 --> 00:06:24.488
got all this back, this filthy bacteria from the streets on your,
00:06:24.488 --> 00:06:29.249
on your, in your house, on your floor, on your, you know, you're in your whole living space. Right.
00:06:29.941 --> 00:06:36.118
Hello, Robbie. And some people feel like, too, that if they have hard floors, that it's, hello?
00:06:36.741 --> 00:06:39.336
You can't hear me? Hello? Uh-oh. Robbie?
00:06:39.978 --> 00:06:44.561
Hello, am I here? I hear you. Stephen! Oh, there you are. There you are.
00:06:45.226 --> 00:06:51.536
Where'd you go? I couldn't hear you. No! What happened? What did you do? Oh, my goodness.
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:53.864
Okay, well, let's just get this over with.
00:06:55.418 --> 00:06:59.998
So there are a lot
of interesting conversations that happen in this podcast.
00:07:00.318 --> 00:07:04.728
Just so he has guests on every episode they're all people with interesting personalities
00:07:04.728 --> 00:07:09.398
they're not necessarily you know it's funny I don't think so because it's like a set,
00:07:10.426 --> 00:07:14.358
it's not a reel I'm going to have to take a closer look because they do have
00:07:14.358 --> 00:07:19.578
a video you know they have the reels where you can see them talking I'm going
00:07:19.578 --> 00:07:21.458
to have to take a look yeah yeah.
00:07:23.528 --> 00:07:25.711
But, you know, that's not his actual living room. That's hilarious.
00:07:26.709 --> 00:07:33.407
So it's really funny. If I would actually like to play a clip real quick.
00:07:35.424 --> 00:07:40.609
Oh, thank you, madam. Here we go. I'll let you do this one time. Here we go.
00:07:41.871 --> 00:07:46.651
You've been gone for a long time, so I'll be... No, why do you think I'm a simple
00:07:46.651 --> 00:07:48.510
person? Or is it sitting down?
00:07:48.847 --> 00:07:52.991
I'm saying I would do it. It's the king's delight. I'm saying so I don't have
00:07:52.991 --> 00:07:57.181
to hold your penis oh I see you're saying you don't want to hold my dick I like
00:07:57.181 --> 00:08:02.654
being sitting down not life stuff I would not have 30 shows 30 days of lar going.
00:08:04.957 --> 00:08:07.411
Let me play another one that's why
00:08:07.411 --> 00:08:11.791
did you play that comedians having a conversation about are they gay look,
00:08:12.798 --> 00:08:15.809
They're talking about how they're peeing preferences. Why are they talking about
00:08:15.809 --> 00:08:17.402
holding each other's penises?
00:08:18.108 --> 00:08:22.419
Oh, because they're talking about, so one guy said, if I were to trade bodies
00:08:22.419 --> 00:08:26.106
right now, tell me things about your personal life that I get cocked with.
00:08:26.490 --> 00:08:29.073
And the other guy said, well, I pee sitting down.
00:08:29.527 --> 00:08:32.498
Oh, my God. Okay. Okay, that's enough.
00:08:33.143 --> 00:08:36.841
Just one more. One more. Look, that was one clip. We're not doing any more.
00:08:37.062 --> 00:08:38.779
That's it. Just the last.
00:08:39.761 --> 00:08:42.509
And then that's it. Because this is disgusting. I'm trying to share.
00:08:42.509 --> 00:08:45.833
We're wasting 10 minutes on this.
00:08:46.691 --> 00:08:50.998
I drink pee. But you don't drink poop? No. That's why I draw the line.
00:08:51.666 --> 00:08:56.299
I think everyone thinks it's really disgusting. Pee is not that disgusting to me at all.
00:08:56.699 --> 00:09:03.339
Someone could like, even as an infant, pee is not that gross. Pee on me.
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:08.389
I've never found pee gross. I'm totally honest.
00:09:08.651 --> 00:09:12.331
What is wrong with people? Why are people talking about this? This is disgusting.
00:09:13.099 --> 00:09:18.327
Okay, so it's hilarious. You have to understand the context of the conversations.
00:09:18.908 --> 00:09:21.579
It's just so funny. It's so raunchy, so ridiculous.
00:09:22.419 --> 00:09:26.698
You know, it's crazy conversation, but they're so funny because he's such a quirky personality.
00:09:27.174 --> 00:09:30.483
I give this podcast a 9 out of 10.
00:09:31.382 --> 00:09:36.488
Highly recommend. Highly recommend. Of course you do. And ladies and gentlemen,
00:09:36.488 --> 00:09:42.101
he's definitely back. He's definitely back playing those clips for us. Okay.
00:09:42.699 --> 00:09:49.348
Moving on. My podcast that was new for me, it was this podcast I found about
00:09:49.348 --> 00:09:52.974
cybersecurity called Kill Chains and Coffee.
00:09:53.968 --> 00:10:01.125
Yes, Kill Chains. Kill Chains is like a term in cybersecurity. And it's by a company.
00:10:01.818 --> 00:10:05.938
It's a small company that's recently launched. And so they just talk about red
00:10:05.938 --> 00:10:10.878
teaming and attacks that they found and how they stopped the attacks and how
00:10:10.878 --> 00:10:12.048
they're doing it with AI.
00:10:12.048 --> 00:10:14.708
Because, you know, everybody's talking about AIC. That's a very different.
00:10:14.708 --> 00:10:18.334
And they drink coffee. That's a different type of podcast that I share.
00:10:19.228 --> 00:10:23.438
And I don't have any clips. You thought it was interesting? I don't have any
00:10:23.438 --> 00:10:24.925
clips. I don't have any clips.
00:10:25.982 --> 00:10:30.088
It's fine. I mean, it's actually good for if you want to learn about cybersecurity.
00:10:30.088 --> 00:10:33.598
It's something that's good. So anybody out there that's studying cybersecurity,
00:10:33.598 --> 00:10:34.923
listen to Killed Chains and Coffee.
00:10:35.717 --> 00:10:40.328
The other podcast I listen to, since you're so focused on why,
00:10:40.688 --> 00:10:44.161
you know, cultural things around New York is walking around their house with their shoes on.
00:10:45.588 --> 00:10:51.088
So I'm sure we could. So I was listening to this one, the 154 podcast.
00:10:51.088 --> 00:10:54.618
I think I told you about that. The two African guys, because there's 54 countries
00:10:54.618 --> 00:10:57.341
in Africa. It's called 154.
00:10:58.359 --> 00:11:01.314
So they had this, did I talk about the fact? No, I didn't.
00:11:02.036 --> 00:11:07.911
They had this professor on there named Eddie Glaude. He's a professor from Princeton.
00:11:08.621 --> 00:11:14.176
And he was talking about, because evidently there's like a big thing now with
00:11:14.176 --> 00:11:19.575
like black Americans versus, you know, black people from other countries.
00:11:20.306 --> 00:11:23.916
I mean, it's always been there, but it's more of a big thing right now.
00:11:23.916 --> 00:11:28.294
I don't know why, but I came across the podcast.
00:11:28.823 --> 00:11:31.786
And they were talking about it. I mean, I've always known of the issues and
00:11:31.786 --> 00:11:33.126
how
there's a whole thing.
00:11:34.111 --> 00:11:38.526
They feel like there's so much better than American black people and then other
00:11:38.526 --> 00:11:39.811
people feel like they're...
00:11:40.646 --> 00:11:46.216
Yes, but evidently there's a new sort of string of this conversation that is
00:11:46.216 --> 00:11:50.306
newly vented and people are becoming an issue now.
00:11:51.361 --> 00:11:54.896
There's a way that American black people are referring to themselves,
00:11:54.896 --> 00:11:57.946
something that I've never have heard of it again.
00:11:58.446 --> 00:12:02.906
I don't know. Anyway, the point is that he made this really interesting point
00:12:02.906 --> 00:12:06.897
that I thought was really a different way of saying it.
00:12:07.140 --> 00:12:12.181
So Eddie Glaude is from Mississippi, but his wife is from Jamaica.
00:12:12.779 --> 00:12:14.921
So his in-laws are from Jamaica.
00:12:15.525 --> 00:12:18.976
And they always talk about, you know, how much better they are than American
00:12:18.976 --> 00:12:22.700
black people. And they took the risk and all the the things.
00:12:23.452 --> 00:12:29.606
And so what he says to them is that, because he would listen to them talk about
00:12:29.606 --> 00:12:32.126
how, you know, they're so, why are they so poor?
00:12:32.126 --> 00:12:35.476
Why are so many of this, some of them this way? Why, you know,
00:12:35.476 --> 00:12:38.296
they just can't, you know, they just don't learn. They don't want to do this.
00:12:38.296 --> 00:12:41.608
They're lazy. All of the things, all of the bad stereotypes that people have.
00:12:42.450 --> 00:12:47.748
And he looked at them and he said, you were able to leave.
00:12:48.410 --> 00:12:51.063
And they looked at him and they were like, what do you mean?
00:12:51.452 --> 00:12:54.462
He said, you were able to leave.
00:12:55.116 --> 00:13:02.267
I'm sure in your country, there are people who look like you who are not able to leave.
00:13:02.818 --> 00:13:04.316
And I was thinking about that.
00:13:04.969 --> 00:13:10.803
And basically what he was saying is you, the people who left and came to America,
00:13:11.408 --> 00:13:21.660
many times had the means or some sort of injection to allow them the capacity to leave,
00:13:22.298 --> 00:13:27.517
particularly if they were coming from Africa or the Caribbean, right?
00:13:28.313 --> 00:13:33.956
So what he basically is saying is that you're like the top of the top within
00:13:33.956 --> 00:13:39.153
your environment, but there's other people in your environment. They can't leave.
00:13:39.626 --> 00:13:45.269
So you come to this country and you're basically judging the people who can't leave.
00:13:46.053 --> 00:13:49.861
And I was like, wow, that is I've never heard someone.
00:13:50.786 --> 00:13:56.706
Sure. Talk about it in that way, because people love to like put people in big,
00:13:57.355 --> 00:14:02.022
like these big boxes of who they are and what they can do and all of that. Right.
00:14:02.335 --> 00:14:06.817
Because there's a segment of the black population and they here in America. Right.
00:14:07.095 --> 00:14:11.266
Who are the top of the top. And I'm not talking about the entertainers.
00:14:11.266 --> 00:14:17.702
I'm talking about people with like legacy, like Golden Age. Do you watch the Gilded Age on HBO?
00:14:17.969 --> 00:14:19.727
Okay. Well, people like that.
00:14:20.523 --> 00:14:26.126
It's a TV show on HBO. It's about the old rich people, which used to be a big
00:14:26.126 --> 00:14:29.336
thing, like the Rockefellers and the Astros and all that kind of stuff.
00:14:29.336 --> 00:14:32.723
That used to be a big deal, but we got trillionaires now, so that ain't shit now.
00:14:33.112 --> 00:14:36.566
But anyway, that's the third year there.
00:14:36.833 --> 00:14:40.066
But the point is... You know, it's funny you say that. I thought that was a
00:14:40.066 --> 00:14:42.777
really interesting take. So that was another thing I listened to. Actually...
00:14:44.648 --> 00:14:50.430
And he was saying that across immigrant populations, like in India,
00:14:51.160 --> 00:14:58.836
in Vietnam, in other Asian countries, in the African countries,
00:14:58.836 --> 00:15:00.257
in the Caribbean countries.
00:15:00.558 --> 00:15:05.746
The people who are able to come here, and he's saying, he's not saying that's
00:15:05.746 --> 00:15:11.696
everybody's case, but the majority have some sort of injection or have some
00:15:11.696 --> 00:15:14.116
sort of means to be able to make that decision.
00:15:14.116 --> 00:15:20.768
I was about to say that with Indian people, there's a common stereotype that
00:15:20.885 --> 00:15:25.818
all Indians are brilliant, you know, and they're very successful.
00:15:26.485 --> 00:15:30.286
But there is a reason for that, right? They had the means to get out,
00:15:30.286 --> 00:15:36.595
and America purposely brought them into the country, into the U.S. to improve it.
00:15:37.164 --> 00:15:43.364
So if you go to Canada, you're going to meet a lot of average Indian folks, right?
00:15:43.994 --> 00:15:45.796
And people don't realize that in the U.S.
00:15:47.276 --> 00:15:53.076
And other countries where there are tough laws to get into the country.
00:15:53.576 --> 00:15:57.947
There's a lot of barriers, and then people also have to have means to do it.
00:15:58.574 --> 00:16:07.218
So you're not actually seeing every, you're not getting a whole view of what's out there.
00:16:07.938 --> 00:16:11.216
I would say that every Indian person that I've interacted with,
00:16:11.216 --> 00:16:17.286
or I should say this, 95 to 98% of the Indian people that I have interacted
00:16:17.286 --> 00:16:22.419
with in the United States have either been from the top cast,
00:16:23.176 --> 00:16:26.024
and I mean like the royal cast.
00:16:27.016 --> 00:16:30.216
Or the one right underneath. Yeah, but so there's a lot of...
00:16:30.316 --> 00:16:32.403
Because I've asked. That's a whole
other conversation, but...
00:16:34.769 --> 00:16:39.725
Or descended from that. I know that's another conversation, but my point is...
00:16:39.785 --> 00:16:44.745
Here's the thing. So the caste system is kind of, it obviously doesn't work
00:16:44.745 --> 00:16:47.451
anymore the way it used to hundreds of years ago.
00:16:47.852 --> 00:16:50.354
So there's a lot of people from lower, have a lot of money.
00:16:51.040 --> 00:16:54.285
Doesn't mean that there's not remnants of the mindset in that,
00:16:54.285 --> 00:16:56.444
though. Financial status.
00:16:56.566 --> 00:16:59.765
And when you're coming from a bigger city, it's about financial status.
00:16:59.765 --> 00:17:05.715
And when you're from a smaller town or village in India, then it's more caste mindset.
00:17:06.231 --> 00:17:09.825
But here in the U.S., it's a problem.
00:17:14.059 --> 00:17:20.035
But the history of the caste system was embedded in your environment for such
00:17:20.035 --> 00:17:26.555
a long period of time that even if it's no longer apart, that set the groundwork
00:17:26.555 --> 00:17:28.105
for people to be able to accumulate.
00:17:28.105 --> 00:17:30.712
But in the U.S., it's a mix of all different casts.
00:17:31.091 --> 00:17:33.291
But, you know, that's a whole different conversation.
00:17:34.285 --> 00:17:39.395
Yeah, but the people that I interact with and the people that have the H1 pieces
00:17:39.395 --> 00:17:44.945
usually and the people that work in the tech space usually are from the higher cast. Okay.
00:17:45.985 --> 00:17:51.123
I said 95 to 98% of them that I've met. But that's a whole other conversation. Anyway, let me get it.
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:57.920
But it is a whole other conversation. But I would, and this is my issue,
00:17:58.036 --> 00:17:59.871
and I'm going to go on the record and say this.
00:18:00.219 --> 00:18:07.980
This is my issue, why I don't understand why certain people have so much disdain for black people.
00:18:08.537 --> 00:18:10.533
Particularly people who've come.
00:18:12.453 --> 00:18:18.291
I don't get it because the foundation of that whole caste system is very similar
00:18:18.291 --> 00:18:21.171
to what has happened historically.
00:18:21.171 --> 00:18:27.021
Well, listen, you know, intelligence is not equal to, you know,
00:18:27.021 --> 00:18:32.221
you can be intelligent and be, you know, and lacking in certain areas at the same time, right?
00:18:32.221 --> 00:18:36.511
So, but, you know, the, but the, the, the backgrounds, they're similar,
00:18:36.511 --> 00:18:38.200
but at the same time, very different. Right.
00:18:38.723 --> 00:18:44.871
And I feel, no, no, it's not much different. Have you read the book cast?
00:18:44.871 --> 00:18:47.590
The cultures themselves are very different, right?
00:18:47.775 --> 00:18:50.011
You should read it. Okay.
00:18:52.761 --> 00:18:56.951
You should read it. I feel like everyone, I feel like every,
00:18:56.951 --> 00:19:02.411
well, I feel like most cultures or most nationalities, though,
00:19:02.411 --> 00:19:06.192
feel like they are better than others, right?
00:19:06.894 --> 00:19:11.288
No, I think most cultures who come here feel like they're all better than black people.
00:19:11.980 --> 00:19:17.262
And that if they can do anything that the ideas and this is what what's his name says too,
00:19:18.321 --> 00:19:22.421
if they can be better than quote unquote American black people then they're
00:19:22.421 --> 00:19:25.175
going to be quote unquote better but I think
00:19:25.564 --> 00:19:29.011
the idea is that certain people recently have taught us that that's not the
00:19:29.011 --> 00:19:33.781
case that that's not it's not about race it's about me getting basically,
00:19:34.661 --> 00:19:38.981
certain people getting whatever they want for themselves and it doesn't matter
00:19:38.981 --> 00:19:41.461
really what your background is I prefer that you say it I'm,
00:19:43.061 --> 00:19:44.302
saying things without saying it.
00:19:45.329 --> 00:19:51.382
Because I think people thought, okay, well, I think that it's come to the realization,
00:19:51.382 --> 00:19:54.702
and I think people, and people have said this too, they really thought that
00:19:54.702 --> 00:19:57.852
when they voted for Trump, that whatever was going to happen was only going
00:19:57.852 --> 00:20:00.241
to happen to a certain amount of people wasn't going to affect them.
00:20:00.611 --> 00:20:02.474
And what they've learned is that.
00:20:05.272 --> 00:20:10.212
He will do anything for himself and his family. In fact, they said one of the
00:20:10.212 --> 00:20:15.862
issues that people were voting on outside of the economy was corruption.
00:20:16.492 --> 00:20:28.617
That corruption was actually a higher leader, a higher category of concern than the economic issue was.
00:20:29.504 --> 00:20:33.535
Because people didn't realize it would be so corrupt. Or they thought that the
00:20:33.535 --> 00:20:39.981
corruption would only impact certain people, whoever they were.
00:20:40.684 --> 00:20:44.090
Right? No one thought, because this is a human thing.
00:20:44.520 --> 00:20:49.216
No one thinks it's going to, no one really has interest in it unless it affects them.
00:20:49.910 --> 00:20:54.285
Right? And so all of the things that have been happening, people thought,
00:20:54.285 --> 00:20:58.366
well, maybe the worst of the worst would get it, which is what happened.
00:20:59.069 --> 00:21:02.295
But then other people started getting it all across the board.
00:21:03.121 --> 00:21:06.335
It's like, wait a minute, this and this and this, this is not supposed to happen to me.
00:21:06.955 --> 00:21:09.211
Yes, it might happen to you, but it's not supposed to happen to me.
00:21:09.669 --> 00:21:14.203
Right. And now it's happening to everyone as a collective. Yeah.
00:21:14.569 --> 00:21:19.650
Like 90% of the population is being affected by it, if not more.
00:21:20.328 --> 00:21:28.615
So I would
venture to say that it's a lesson for all of us to stop thinking
00:21:28.615 --> 00:21:33.155
that just because something bad happens to one person, that doesn't mean that
00:21:33.155 --> 00:21:35.295
you're better than you because it can't happen to you.
00:21:35.295 --> 00:21:40.385
I find it interesting that there is still a certain segment of people that voted
00:21:40.385 --> 00:21:44.500
for Trump, that even though they know they are getting fucked,
00:21:45.242 --> 00:21:50.390
they are still willing to back Trump. You're not surprised, okay.
00:21:51.065 --> 00:21:56.875
No, I'm not surprised by that. Because everybody has a core group that supports
00:21:56.875 --> 00:21:59.181
them in these types of environments.
00:21:59.821 --> 00:22:05.695
And I'm not just talking about our president. I'm talking about in other countries
00:22:05.695 --> 00:22:07.377
where you have the same dynamic.
00:22:07.696 --> 00:22:11.765
There's always a group of people that are still going to support the person
00:22:11.765 --> 00:22:14.233
who the majority of people do not.
00:22:14.818 --> 00:22:22.330
There's always. So that's just, again, that's just the sample that's going to exist.
00:22:23.121 --> 00:22:28.748
That's why, if you notice, I always try to make sure when I'm speaking about
00:22:28.748 --> 00:22:32.088
things like this that I don't say everyone, that I say majority,
00:22:32.088 --> 00:22:34.516
because there's always going to be exceptions.
00:22:35.187 --> 00:22:43.213
And I don't think it's fair. I mean, I want to see and I try to treat and respect everybody.
00:22:43.642 --> 00:22:45.430
I don't really care what your background is.
00:22:46.016 --> 00:22:50.403
But there's another thing about me not caring about it. I'm not going to,
00:22:51.169 --> 00:22:54.251
I don't, I'm not somebody who's just going to look past who you are.
00:22:54.791 --> 00:22:59.371
Like I fundamentally believe everybody's human and that's how I interact with everyone.
00:22:59.801 --> 00:23:04.498
But I also don't think anything is wrong for me to recognize that you're Indian
00:23:04.498 --> 00:23:07.324
and I'm black. That doesn't mean that I'm still not human.
00:23:07.847 --> 00:23:11.818
It doesn't, and it shouldn't, it shouldn't bother anyone for me to recognize
00:23:11.818 --> 00:23:13.988
who I am for you to recognize who you are.
00:23:14.428 --> 00:23:17.618
Like that shouldn't be an issue. If you're not doing anything to hurt anyone
00:23:17.618 --> 00:23:21.738
and you're still just being a kind human being, why does it matter?
00:23:22.719 --> 00:23:27.238
That's my whole thing. So, I don't know. But not everybody thinks like that.
00:23:27.238 --> 00:23:30.784
Some people are like, you know, hell no.
00:23:31.464 --> 00:23:36.671
So, anyway. Okay, but let's talk about. Actually.
00:23:37.267 --> 00:23:41.728
We talked. You know, I guess I don't want to say where. So, have you voted yet?
00:23:42.448 --> 00:23:46.379
I am a citizen. What state? Good for you. Good for you.
00:23:47.288 --> 00:23:50.994
All I'll say is that it is a critical state.
00:23:51.947 --> 00:23:58.911
Please don't. Don't say because. So what do you think? What do you think about
00:23:58.911 --> 00:24:01.371
this? Because people are saying it, so it doesn't really matter anymore.
00:24:01.851 --> 00:24:06.551
What do you think about the fact that people are saying that I think Elon may
00:24:06.551 --> 00:24:11.021
use all this money to like hack into systems and pay people off and that we're
00:24:11.021 --> 00:24:12.311
going to have a great election?
00:24:12.311 --> 00:24:17.330
There is a, so here's what I think right now, you know, we know the house,
00:24:17.731 --> 00:24:21.098
the house of representatives is going to be taken by the Democrats.
00:24:21.696 --> 00:24:27.531
I think there is now, I think there's a high likelihood that the Senate will
00:24:27.531 --> 00:24:31.071
also be taken because, you know, even at this point,
00:24:31.903 --> 00:24:41.289
Trump just doesn't seem to care at this point, you know, and I'm really offending to people.
00:24:42.205 --> 00:24:47.510
No. Remember, we talked about this, though. He doesn't want a predecessor.
00:24:48.244 --> 00:24:52.302
He is a one and only. You know, people talk about that whole phrase.
00:24:52.302 --> 00:24:53.776
People say, I am one of one.
00:24:54.882 --> 00:24:58.048
He believes that. He believes that of himself.
00:24:58.367 --> 00:25:03.812
He is one of one. And that also means one and done.
00:25:03.812 --> 00:25:09.122
And there is nobody that's going to come behind him and do more,
00:25:09.122 --> 00:25:14.122
be more. You know, I think his goal and all his lackeys. I feel like he doesn't give a damn.
00:25:14.502 --> 00:25:19.372
I feel like he's like, fuck all y'all. The whole goal, the end goal is for him
00:25:19.372 --> 00:25:23.782
and the people very close to him to walk out of this being the richest people
00:25:23.782 --> 00:25:25.076
in the world. That's the goal, right?
00:25:25.731 --> 00:25:33.032
Now yeah and so in order to achieve that he needs to remain present for more
00:25:33.032 --> 00:25:34.672
than just the second term,
00:25:35.258 --> 00:25:42.122
and he needs to kind of shift it into a a dictatorship and how do you achieve
00:25:42.122 --> 00:25:47.487
that how can he achieve that he can the only way he can achieve dictatorship,
00:25:48.113 --> 00:25:52.014
is to destroy completely dismantle our system.
00:25:52.177 --> 00:25:55.479
And that's really, I mean, this is my, this is my opinion.
00:25:56.027 --> 00:26:01.332
That's really what I see what he's doing. Right. Is that, do you feel the same
00:26:01.332 --> 00:26:02.298
way or do you feel differently?
00:26:02.954 --> 00:26:04.394
Of course. This is your.
00:26:05.970 --> 00:26:10.370
Right, right. I think that certain things are holding, but I think there are
00:26:10.370 --> 00:26:12.390
a lot of things that were destroyed.
00:26:12.770
--> 00:26:17.382
I feel like it's purposely creating the best to dismantle, create chaos.
00:26:17.765 --> 00:26:23.700
You know, again, you know, he needs any opportunity he can get to announce martial
00:26:23.700 --> 00:26:30.090
law, right? That is going to be, you know, a great asset to him if he can find
00:26:30.090 --> 00:26:32.567
a way to make that happen. So he's trying to create.
00:26:33.135 --> 00:26:35.250
Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen. I never said that.
00:26:36.317 --> 00:26:41.090
I don't like human beings. I think that as much as you try to say that people
00:26:41.090 --> 00:26:44.409
are dumb and crazy and all of the things, I think people are.
00:26:45.050 --> 00:26:47.302
Okay. All right. Thank you for correcting me.
00:26:48.268 --> 00:26:55.328
You should see my face. But what I was going to say is that I think people are
00:26:55.328 --> 00:27:01.108
aware now that they're played. I think that there's a majority of people that
00:27:01.108 --> 00:27:02.484
realize that they were played.
00:27:02.855 --> 00:27:05.259
There's always going to be the people who feel like they're played.
00:27:05.845 --> 00:27:10.888
Yeah, I do. I do. Whether or not that manifests itself, because there's all
00:27:10.888 --> 00:27:15.068
these different factors and different variables that could shift the pole in
00:27:15.068 --> 00:27:18.738
either way, depending upon who you are and what kind of control you have on
00:27:18.738 --> 00:27:20.340
machines and all that shit, right?
00:27:20.683 --> 00:27:27.167
But my point is that I do think the majority of people are sick of all of this shit.
00:27:28.168 --> 00:27:32.838
And what I mean by shit, I mean like all of the anger that's out there,
00:27:32.838 --> 00:27:34.922
all of the meanness, all of the,
00:27:35.526 --> 00:27:40.472
just, you know, pushing everything, you know, everything to the extreme,
00:27:40.867 --> 00:27:45.598
the pool is green, there's a tarp over the Kennedy Center.
00:27:45.598 --> 00:27:47.745
They're trying to change it.
00:27:48.013 --> 00:27:54.028
Like just like all these physical manifestations of just how the country has
00:27:54.028 --> 00:27:59.791
been for so long that have now gone 180. People are just like, whoa, I'm tired.
00:28:00.058 --> 00:28:05.788
You know, depending on where you are, you know, five and six dollar gas or,
00:28:05.788 --> 00:28:11.128
you know, four or five dollar gas, six dollar diesel, seven dollar diesel,
00:28:11.604 --> 00:28:14.138
you know, all of that sort of thing.
00:28:14.138 --> 00:28:17.788
People are sick of that, tired of spending extra money on food because everything
00:28:17.788 --> 00:28:21.808
is so much more expensive than what it used to be on a daily basis.
00:28:21.808 --> 00:28:25.442
Like everything costs more, every single thing that you go.
00:28:25.755 --> 00:28:29.658
And then you're not getting a raise and people are losing their jobs.
00:28:29.658 --> 00:28:34.388
And then there's the
whole, then you add on AI and people feel like AI is something
00:28:34.388 --> 00:28:38.278
that's being done to them, not something that is for them.
00:28:38.278 --> 00:28:42.509
And, you know, there's all of this thing that's happening. And on top of that,
00:28:42.973 --> 00:28:44.999
then people are tired. They don't want to know.
00:28:45.747 --> 00:28:49.607
That, you know, the person in the White House has made billions of dollars in
00:28:49.607 --> 00:28:54.407
civilian for the last two years. We are making lots and lots of money.
00:28:54.407 --> 00:28:57.897
They don't want me to say it. They don't want to know that. We are making tons
00:28:57.897 --> 00:28:59.714
of money. We're making lots of money.
00:29:00.260 --> 00:29:05.600
It's mind-boggling. He's making money and a few others are making money.
00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:11.287
Everyone, the vast majority of people are losing. Yeah.
00:29:12.087 --> 00:29:13.977
That's what I'm saying. He's making money.
00:29:14.662 --> 00:29:18.031
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that's what I'm saying.
00:29:18.031 --> 00:29:20.753
That's what, that's what I mean when I say, I think the majority of people,
00:29:21.107 --> 00:29:22.741
that's not what they signed up for.
00:29:22.741 --> 00:29:26.761
They didn't sign up for all of that. They did not sign up for all of that and
00:29:26.761 --> 00:29:30.388
all of the other things that are happening and the, the change and just like,
00:29:30.672 --> 00:29:35.991
and laws and this, and it's just, there's a whole lot of things that just have been like,
00:29:36.531 --> 00:29:38.891
there's things that we don't even know how bad.
00:29:39.131 --> 00:29:40.941
There's so much destruction that we can't even keep up with.
00:29:41.091 --> 00:29:44.821
All of the whole period of time you can't eat beef, you can't eat chicken,
00:29:44.821 --> 00:29:47.158
you can't eat this, you can't eat that.
00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:53.695
Measles. Exactly. It's just so much stuff.
00:29:53.979 --> 00:30:01.291
Measles and just all kinds of just, it's just like nonstop. I think people remembered
00:30:01.291 --> 00:30:03.586
how it was the first time, right? And it was nonstop.
00:30:03.975 --> 00:30:10.721
But it didn't necessarily change like the fundamental structure of America where
00:30:10.721 --> 00:30:16.131
now the fundamental structure is being challenged at like a really high clip.
00:30:16.415 --> 00:30:19.817
And people are like, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. I didn't have to sign up for all this.
00:30:20.136 --> 00:30:23.671
I knew he was going to be a little wild. I looked at this. He might be a little
00:30:23.671 --> 00:30:26.281
racist. He might a little bit like, you know, I don't like it.
00:30:26.281 --> 00:30:27.851
But, you know, that's not good. I'll be OK.
00:30:28.425 --> 00:30:30.591
But this is like, I'm not I don't know if I'm going to be OK.
00:30:31.211 --> 00:30:33.678
That's how people are now. Like, I don't know if I'm going to be okay.
00:30:34.073 --> 00:30:36.651
And then you add on top of that, the AI stuff.
00:30:37.515 --> 00:30:43.961
So when Trump is out there saying, I think the higher gas prices are a small
00:30:43.961 --> 00:30:48.527
price to pay to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons.
00:30:48.963 --> 00:30:54.421
And we're going to be fine. I was actually expecting the gas to be even higher
00:30:54.421 --> 00:30:56.864
than it is. So I'm actually happy with this.
00:30:57.486 --> 00:31:03.116
He's just so out of touch with America. It's just mind-boggling to me.
00:31:03.776 --> 00:31:07.977
He cannot be sane. I mean, this is a very objective view.
00:31:08.635 --> 00:31:14.157
Tone deaf. Yeah. Well, I told my to be the other one that went into it.
00:31:14.177 --> 00:31:18.097
Okay. All right. Well, let's. Unbelievable. Because you'd be going down rabbit
00:31:18.097 --> 00:31:20.290
holes forever. So let's.
00:31:21.353 --> 00:31:24.567
I did. But I just don't want to go down that rabbit hole. I'm like,
00:31:24.567 --> 00:31:28.704
okay. Okay. We started talking about people crazy and all that. Okay. What? No.
00:31:29.442 --> 00:31:33.417
So did you're about. So, you know, did he got beat up? No.
00:31:34.237 --> 00:31:37.487
Oh, yes, yes, yes. That's right. So you remember I was talking about how he
00:31:37.487 --> 00:31:41.631
was running the jail and the Jamaicans were kicking for him and all of the things.
00:31:42.055 --> 00:31:43.757
Well, after that, somebody beat him up.
00:31:44.806 --> 00:31:49.934
Yes, that was one of our last episodes. So then somebody, what do they call it?
00:31:50.311 --> 00:31:53.437
The shower mafia or whatever. Basically, he got beat up in the shower.
00:31:53.757 --> 00:31:56.343
I was going to ask the same thing. If he enjoys it, is he going to rape?
00:31:57.073 --> 00:32:01.020
I don't know. Which is so wrong. Did he would be rape? I don't know, right?
00:32:01.508 --> 00:32:05.197
Is it consensual if he enjoys it and doesn't say stop, even if he's being pinned
00:32:05.197 --> 00:32:06.417
to the ground? I don't know.
00:32:07.117 --> 00:32:10.929
So, it is wrong. It is wrong, but we don't know, right?
00:32:11.653 --> 00:32:13.437
I have no idea. And I don't know
00:32:13.437 --> 00:32:15.577
if that's what happened. We knew it was going to happen at some point.
00:32:17.032 --> 00:32:21.187
Someone like him, people are not going to like the spoiled, out of control.
00:32:21.187 --> 00:32:24.189
I don't know. Something happened. People are going to hate him in there.
00:32:24.468 --> 00:32:28.299
Because he's acting like a king in there, too, right? And he's got people kissing his ass.
00:32:29.617 --> 00:32:31.867
People are going to put him in his place and say you're not king here,
00:32:31.867 --> 00:32:35.569
I'm king here so anyway wait, what do you mean?
00:32:36.574 --> 00:32:40.082
So my question to you, as other people have asked, when he does get out,
00:32:40.082 --> 00:32:43.714
would you go out of
his place?
00:32:44.493 --> 00:32:49.022
If he had a diddy party after he got out. I would not attend any kind of party
00:32:49.022 --> 00:32:50.772
of his. He's not a good person.
00:32:51.292 --> 00:32:56.262
I'm just saying, would you go? You know, I do have some ethical.
00:32:56.262 --> 00:32:58.372
Who knows what it is? I have morals, you know.
00:32:59.252 --> 00:33:02.432
Jeez, Robbie. Well, wait, what's your answer? Would you? Just seeing where you're
00:33:02.432 --> 00:33:03.510
at. Just seeing where you're at.
00:33:04.621 --> 00:33:08.552
What? You say it like that. Why are you asking me? You're saying it like that,
00:33:08.552 --> 00:33:11.458
like you're shocked that I'm asking, but you're asking me that question.
00:33:12.072 --> 00:33:15.852
No, I had a business at a, I didn't go to one before.
00:33:16.645 --> 00:33:18.103
Oh, okay.
00:33:19.532 --> 00:33:23.442
Again, you're hurting my feelings, you know? Because you're always good for
00:33:23.442 --> 00:33:25.365
a great, entertaining answer.
00:33:26.410 --> 00:33:29.469
I'm not trying to hurt your feelings. If I don't hurt your feelings at least
00:33:29.469 --> 00:33:33.489
once during the podcast, after your amazing return, and again,
00:33:33.489 --> 00:33:34.629
we're so happy to be back.
00:33:35.484 --> 00:33:40.609
Then it's not going to be normal. I got to throw something out there.
00:33:40.609 --> 00:33:48.699
Did you see an AI, Amthropic's going public? That Microsoft is offering packages
00:33:48.699 --> 00:33:54.022
to 60,000 of their employees to the AI frenzy.
00:33:54.843 --> 00:33:59.609
Now do you i mean do you think it's all actual ai or do you think there's you
00:33:59.609 --> 00:34:02.866
know it's undercover stuff because they're going to change all their jobs to ai.
00:34:06.238 --> 00:34:10.139
I don't know yeah i don't know i don't know if those 60 000 people are people
00:34:10.139 --> 00:34:14.079
who they were hired i don't know if it's really ai i don't know what the jobs
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:19.956
are i didn't go into detail i saw the headline flash by me like everybody else did i feel like,
00:34:20.768 --> 00:34:24.379
i know it's a huge number i feel like i cannot go through,
00:34:25.705 --> 00:34:30.041
i don't i can't make a real assessment unless i were to read it and understand,
00:34:30.645 --> 00:34:32.003
what's behind those numbers,
00:34:32.921 --> 00:34:36.159
because do they know that things are going to be replaced there's been a lot
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:38.849
of things that they say we're going to be replaced by ai and they're still not
00:34:38.849 --> 00:34:43.129
replaced by a right now right now people are just on the whole bandwagon can
00:34:43.129 --> 00:34:45.233
we make ai safe and what's going to happen
00:34:45.611 --> 00:34:48.519
and what kind of events going to happen that's going to,
00:34:49.142 --> 00:34:51.729
affect people based on what AI does, right?
00:34:51.729 --> 00:34:56.899
Worldwide, Microsoft has about 220,000. Especially with all the age things.
00:34:56.899 --> 00:35:01.359
You're talking about cutting more than a fourth of the entire workforce.
00:35:01.359 --> 00:35:04.653
That's, yeah, that's, wow.
00:35:05.272 --> 00:35:07.623
25% of the workforce, basically.
00:35:08.330 --> 00:35:12.679
All right. That was kind of crazy, huh? It's kind of crazy. All right,
00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:15.755
well, we are at 40 minutes, so I think we got to roll out.
00:35:16.701 --> 00:35:21.079
It's good to be back we'll be back again people thank you so much for listening
00:35:21.469 --> 00:35:30.613
thank you for signing off say goodbye to the people thank you bye okay let's hope.
