1
00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:01,219
Yo. Yo.
2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:02,980
Testing
3
00:00:03,359 --> 00:00:05,219
the micro is happening.
4
00:00:06,719 --> 00:00:10,419
Testing one, two, check. Micro, one, two, check.
5
00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:12,099
What's the matter?
6
00:00:18,195 --> 00:00:21,015
We're back. It's my mom's birthday.
7
00:00:22,035 --> 00:00:24,454
Today, it's my mom's birthday.
8
00:00:25,554 --> 00:00:27,175
It's Freddie Mercury's
9
00:00:27,794 --> 00:00:28,294
birthday,
10
00:00:29,420 --> 00:00:31,679
and it's Gordon Harrison
11
00:00:32,140 --> 00:00:33,280
Hall's birthday.
12
00:00:34,140 --> 00:00:38,320
So happy birthday mom, happy birthday Freddie Mercury,
13
00:00:39,179 --> 00:00:41,359
and happy birthday Gordy.
14
00:00:41,739 --> 00:00:43,600
My mom is a twin,
15
00:00:44,355 --> 00:00:46,534
so happy birthday, aunt Jean.
16
00:00:46,835 --> 00:00:47,975
An identical
17
00:00:48,675 --> 00:00:51,015
twin. That's that is weird.
18
00:00:51,395 --> 00:00:52,375
Just in case
19
00:00:53,155 --> 00:00:55,655
you're wondering, it's weird and complicated.
20
00:00:56,274 --> 00:00:57,895
No one really knows
21
00:00:59,039 --> 00:00:59,539
anything,
22
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,179
honestly, about anyone.
23
00:01:04,079 --> 00:01:06,260
I'm the son of an identical
24
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,939
twin mother, and the twins,
25
00:01:11,614 --> 00:01:12,594
No one knows
26
00:01:13,375 --> 00:01:15,234
what's going on exactly.
27
00:01:15,694 --> 00:01:16,754
No one knows.
28
00:01:17,375 --> 00:01:19,954
There's been a lot, a ton of
29
00:01:20,494 --> 00:01:23,474
research into twins and the result
30
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:24,480
is inconclusive,
31
00:01:25,659 --> 00:01:26,719
no one knows.
32
00:01:29,180 --> 00:01:30,959
So happy birthday mom.
33
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:33,200
Freddie Mercury, I had
34
00:01:33,579 --> 00:01:35,200
some Queen CDs.
35
00:01:36,140 --> 00:01:38,000
Another one bites the dust.
36
00:01:38,864 --> 00:01:41,444
You know, Freddie Mercury, much respect.
37
00:01:41,984 --> 00:01:43,685
What was Freddie Mercury's
38
00:01:44,385 --> 00:01:46,484
origin? He was, like, Lebanese
39
00:01:46,944 --> 00:01:47,765
or something.
40
00:01:48,784 --> 00:01:50,405
Let me check that out.
41
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,340
What is the origin of Freddie Mercury?
42
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,219
Let's see his Wikipedia
43
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:58,500
page.
44
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:01,219
Global fame.
45
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:02,659
Lead vocalist
46
00:02:03,119 --> 00:02:04,019
and pianist
47
00:02:04,844 --> 00:02:06,545
of the rock band Queen,
48
00:02:07,165 --> 00:02:07,665
Zanzibar
49
00:02:08,685 --> 00:02:09,585
to Parsi
50
00:02:09,965 --> 00:02:10,465
Indian
51
00:02:11,004 --> 00:02:11,504
parents.
52
00:02:12,764 --> 00:02:13,905
They're a Zoroastrian
53
00:02:15,645 --> 00:02:17,745
ethnic group of the Indian
54
00:02:18,044 --> 00:02:18,544
Subcontinent
55
00:02:19,580 --> 00:02:20,159
descended from
56
00:02:20,699 --> 00:02:21,199
Persian
57
00:02:21,580 --> 00:02:22,080
refugees
58
00:02:23,419 --> 00:02:25,840
who migrated to the Indian Subcontinent
59
00:02:27,019 --> 00:02:29,439
during and after the Arab Islamic
60
00:02:30,459 --> 00:02:33,120
conquest of Iran in the seventh
61
00:02:33,635 --> 00:02:34,135
century
62
00:02:34,594 --> 00:02:35,735
when Zoroastrians
63
00:02:36,754 --> 00:02:37,735
were persecuted
64
00:02:38,194 --> 00:02:39,814
by the early Muslims.
65
00:02:41,314 --> 00:02:42,615
That's a mouthful.
66
00:02:42,995 --> 00:02:43,495
So
67
00:02:44,194 --> 00:02:45,254
he's Parsi,
68
00:02:45,955 --> 00:02:48,534
he's from, born in Zanzibar
69
00:02:50,169 --> 00:02:50,989
to Parsee
70
00:02:51,610 --> 00:02:54,889
Indian parents. So that makes sense, but, man,
71
00:02:54,889 --> 00:02:56,269
he's like a multi
72
00:02:56,969 --> 00:03:00,750
Freddie Mercury happy birthday. You're a multi hyphenate
73
00:03:01,049 --> 00:03:02,109
Parsee Indian.
74
00:03:02,754 --> 00:03:05,894
Much respect to you. Another one bites it
75
00:03:06,995 --> 00:03:08,775
does Freddy Mercury, man,
76
00:03:09,074 --> 00:03:09,974
and Gordy,
77
00:03:10,435 --> 00:03:11,655
Gordon Harrison
78
00:03:11,955 --> 00:03:12,455
Hall
79
00:03:13,235 --> 00:03:14,215
was like
80
00:03:14,594 --> 00:03:15,655
an descended
81
00:03:16,034 --> 00:03:19,019
from up state New York apple growing.
82
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:20,519
He,
83
00:03:21,239 --> 00:03:24,859
he's a painter and artist and creative
84
00:03:26,519 --> 00:03:27,019
person
85
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,979
in New York City. John Santos
86
00:03:30,359 --> 00:03:30,859
introduced
87
00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:32,854
me. I met
88
00:03:33,715 --> 00:03:34,294
him upstate
89
00:03:35,235 --> 00:03:36,375
in the yard
90
00:03:37,155 --> 00:03:41,335
between Jane Virga and Anthony and John's house.
91
00:03:42,115 --> 00:03:45,794
He was a New York hypno zombie. That's
92
00:03:45,794 --> 00:03:46,694
kinda how
93
00:03:47,090 --> 00:03:49,990
he came on my role, but he's like
94
00:03:51,010 --> 00:03:53,430
an artist from New York, and
95
00:03:54,290 --> 00:03:57,349
I've been following him since we were we're
96
00:03:57,730 --> 00:04:00,949
New York since we were New York Hypno
97
00:04:01,090 --> 00:04:01,590
Zombies
98
00:04:02,050 --> 00:04:02,550
upstate.
99
00:04:03,305 --> 00:04:06,264
So happy birthday, Gordy. Man, I could do
100
00:04:06,264 --> 00:04:07,405
minutes on
101
00:04:08,664 --> 00:04:10,364
on the ethnic origins
102
00:04:11,864 --> 00:04:14,604
of Freddie Mercury, the apple growing
103
00:04:14,985 --> 00:04:15,485
origins
104
00:04:15,864 --> 00:04:17,324
of Gordon Hall,
105
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,060
and the twin
106
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:20,259
origins
107
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:22,000
in 1948
108
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,899
of my mom and aunt Jean. Happy birthday
109
00:04:24,959 --> 00:04:25,860
to you all.
110
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,500
Load full transcript
Put it on the list.
111
00:04:31,394 --> 00:04:31,894
Happy
112
00:04:32,754 --> 00:04:35,495
birthday. Shout out. Happy birthday, Freddie Mercury.
113
00:04:38,514 --> 00:04:41,814
Yeah. Put it on the list. My wife
114
00:04:41,875 --> 00:04:43,814
is into Tig Notaro
115
00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:46,860
because she's repressed.
116
00:04:48,599 --> 00:04:50,300
My wife is repressed
117
00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:51,259
probably.
118
00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:55,159
And so she watches Tig Notaro and she's
119
00:04:55,159 --> 00:04:57,180
like, my life could have been different.
120
00:04:58,535 --> 00:05:00,714
Put it on the list. It's
121
00:05:01,415 --> 00:05:04,294
a thing on the Handsome pod. They come
122
00:05:04,294 --> 00:05:07,495
up with ideas, and they're always telling their
123
00:05:07,495 --> 00:05:10,634
producer to put that on the list.
124
00:05:11,350 --> 00:05:12,810
So it's like ideas,
125
00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:15,209
but things they'll never do.
126
00:05:15,990 --> 00:05:18,149
I like that. So I wanted to put
127
00:05:18,149 --> 00:05:21,050
something on a list. We're always
128
00:05:21,670 --> 00:05:23,129
talking, my family.
129
00:05:24,024 --> 00:05:25,785
And we're like, we need to have a
130
00:05:25,785 --> 00:05:28,444
party with this kind of band, so
131
00:05:28,745 --> 00:05:31,064
and they'll play in in the,
132
00:05:32,185 --> 00:05:34,524
underneath the tree in the backyard.
133
00:05:35,944 --> 00:05:36,444
And,
134
00:05:37,569 --> 00:05:41,009
so the different bands were saying, let's have
135
00:05:41,009 --> 00:05:43,750
a barbecue, we'll invite people over,
136
00:05:44,129 --> 00:05:44,949
we'll barbecue
137
00:05:45,490 --> 00:05:47,029
and we'll have a band.
138
00:05:47,650 --> 00:05:51,090
And what band? So we'll have a folk
139
00:05:51,090 --> 00:05:51,590
band
140
00:05:52,664 --> 00:05:53,164
playing
141
00:05:55,064 --> 00:05:57,324
waltzes, and or the the British
142
00:05:57,944 --> 00:05:59,404
heavy metal band,
143
00:06:00,185 --> 00:06:00,685
Ghast,
144
00:06:01,144 --> 00:06:02,284
from Swansea,
145
00:06:03,464 --> 00:06:04,604
that was originally
146
00:06:05,144 --> 00:06:06,925
named Soul Dust.
147
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,819
They're like an extreme
148
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,620
so from the metal
149
00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:13,819
encyclopedia,
150
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,240
the metal in
151
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:17,180
Encyclopedia
152
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:18,220
Metallum
153
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,259
from The UK, from Swansea
154
00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:22,540
and Wales,
155
00:06:22,935 --> 00:06:27,194
They're split up. They were formed in 02/2007.
156
00:06:27,415 --> 00:06:28,074
They record
157
00:06:28,535 --> 00:06:29,035
terrible
158
00:06:29,415 --> 00:06:29,915
cemetery
159
00:06:31,495 --> 00:06:34,395
that I bought for my wife to commute,
160
00:06:34,535 --> 00:06:36,314
listen to some doom
161
00:06:36,774 --> 00:06:37,274
metal.
162
00:06:37,850 --> 00:06:40,170
So let's have them play. We'll have a
163
00:06:40,170 --> 00:06:42,110
poker band playing waltzes
164
00:06:42,889 --> 00:06:44,189
and then Ghast.
165
00:06:44,889 --> 00:06:47,629
Discog says Ghast is the black
166
00:06:48,410 --> 00:06:51,149
doom metal band from Swansea
167
00:06:51,610 --> 00:06:52,430
in Wales,
168
00:06:53,064 --> 00:06:54,285
United Kingdom.
169
00:06:55,305 --> 00:06:58,285
Not to be confused with the Doom Noise
170
00:06:58,665 --> 00:06:59,165
experimental
171
00:06:59,545 --> 00:07:00,685
group, Gassed
172
00:07:00,985 --> 00:07:02,125
from Canada.
173
00:07:02,504 --> 00:07:05,004
So we'll have them play with a polka
174
00:07:05,145 --> 00:07:07,645
band playing like Oompa Loompa,
175
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:09,699
Polka,
176
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,100
and Doom medal.
177
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,259
And they can do alternating
178
00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:18,180
short sets, like twenty minute sets.
179
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,980
Just to give everyone a break
180
00:07:22,085 --> 00:07:25,384
from the polka or from the black metal,
181
00:07:25,444 --> 00:07:25,944
depending.
182
00:07:26,725 --> 00:07:28,504
Put that on the list.
183
00:07:28,884 --> 00:07:32,245
Another thing that's on the list, we need
184
00:07:32,245 --> 00:07:34,105
a bard with a lyre
185
00:07:34,699 --> 00:07:35,520
to compose
186
00:07:35,899 --> 00:07:37,040
a theme song
187
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:39,120
about foot wars
188
00:07:40,220 --> 00:07:43,180
that occur over the middle thing on the
189
00:07:43,180 --> 00:07:43,680
nook.
190
00:07:44,060 --> 00:07:46,379
This could be a bard that came by
191
00:07:46,379 --> 00:07:48,160
when we were eating breakfast,
192
00:07:49,754 --> 00:07:52,654
And, because the kids get into an enormous
193
00:07:53,115 --> 00:07:54,014
foot fight
194
00:07:54,555 --> 00:07:56,735
over who gets to put their foot
195
00:07:57,194 --> 00:07:58,735
on the Nook table.
196
00:07:59,915 --> 00:08:02,629
Like, the Nook has one of these, like,
197
00:08:02,629 --> 00:08:05,129
built in tables, and then the
198
00:08:05,589 --> 00:08:08,550
the table comes out of the seat. You
199
00:08:08,550 --> 00:08:09,610
know, it's like
200
00:08:10,229 --> 00:08:11,050
a a diner
201
00:08:11,350 --> 00:08:11,850
booth,
202
00:08:12,310 --> 00:08:14,629
kind of. And so it's like who gets
203
00:08:14,629 --> 00:08:17,435
to put their foot things on the metal,
204
00:08:18,774 --> 00:08:21,915
that comes out of the built in seating.
205
00:08:22,214 --> 00:08:22,954
Our kids
206
00:08:23,334 --> 00:08:26,535
fight over it, like, very often in the
207
00:08:26,535 --> 00:08:27,035
morning.
208
00:08:27,735 --> 00:08:29,754
And so they have foot wars.
209
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,759
So the bard could come by with the
210
00:08:32,759 --> 00:08:36,139
lyre and sing the theme song about foot
211
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:36,700
wars
212
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,519
that occur over the middle thing on the
213
00:08:40,519 --> 00:08:41,019
nook.
214
00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:42,620
Like an epic,
215
00:08:43,475 --> 00:08:45,415
like, they're wars, like,
216
00:08:45,955 --> 00:08:47,014
you know, like,
217
00:08:48,355 --> 00:08:48,855
ancient
218
00:08:49,875 --> 00:08:50,375
wars
219
00:08:50,754 --> 00:08:51,575
in Europe.
220
00:08:52,115 --> 00:08:54,855
They they they could tell an epic tale
221
00:08:54,915 --> 00:08:57,495
about foot wars, and then the bridge
222
00:08:58,370 --> 00:08:59,830
can be about
223
00:09:00,450 --> 00:09:03,509
can you stop? Because often they'll
224
00:09:03,970 --> 00:09:06,529
the kids will just be at each other
225
00:09:06,529 --> 00:09:09,269
being like, can you stop? Can you stop?
226
00:09:09,330 --> 00:09:09,830
No.
227
00:09:10,210 --> 00:09:12,070
So that could be a bridge
228
00:09:12,705 --> 00:09:13,764
for the Bard.
229
00:09:14,384 --> 00:09:16,545
Okay, so put it on the list. We
230
00:09:16,545 --> 00:09:19,024
need a party with a polka band with
231
00:09:19,024 --> 00:09:19,524
waltzes
232
00:09:20,384 --> 00:09:21,684
and doom
233
00:09:22,465 --> 00:09:24,485
black metal band Ghast,
234
00:09:25,610 --> 00:09:27,389
alternating short set,
235
00:09:27,850 --> 00:09:30,269
and then we also need a bard
236
00:09:30,809 --> 00:09:33,769
that comes over during breakfast or when we're
237
00:09:33,769 --> 00:09:34,830
eating lunch
238
00:09:35,209 --> 00:09:37,629
at the nook and the kids are fighting
239
00:09:37,769 --> 00:09:38,269
over
240
00:09:39,304 --> 00:09:42,924
the metal thing and the bridge is about
241
00:09:42,985 --> 00:09:46,024
can you stop. Okay. Put those on the
242
00:09:46,024 --> 00:09:47,084
list. Musical
243
00:09:47,865 --> 00:09:48,365
shows
244
00:09:49,304 --> 00:09:50,284
at our home.
245
00:09:50,745 --> 00:09:53,084
So put it on the list.
246
00:09:53,384 --> 00:09:54,204
Shout out
247
00:09:54,610 --> 00:09:55,910
to Handsome Pod.
248
00:09:56,690 --> 00:09:59,490
My wife is into it, and that means
249
00:09:59,490 --> 00:10:00,929
I hear it. It's like,
250
00:10:01,490 --> 00:10:03,429
wait, wait, don't tell me,
251
00:10:03,809 --> 00:10:05,429
the thing that I hear.
252
00:10:06,290 --> 00:10:09,125
Speaking of shout outs to female
253
00:10:09,425 --> 00:10:10,485
run podcasts,
254
00:10:11,985 --> 00:10:14,384
and now I'm back on the What's the
255
00:10:14,384 --> 00:10:17,425
Matter with Me podcast, and I don't wanna
256
00:10:17,425 --> 00:10:17,925
be
257
00:10:18,785 --> 00:10:21,264
you know, I was worried about coming back
258
00:10:21,264 --> 00:10:24,360
and being part of something and people being
259
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,700
like, oh, he's part of something.
260
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,419
But now I got an animated
261
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,899
kind of, armor, suit of armor,
262
00:10:35,164 --> 00:10:36,384
And so
263
00:10:36,924 --> 00:10:39,404
now I'm not I'm not I'm part of
264
00:10:39,404 --> 00:10:42,704
something, but I'm also, like,
part of something.
265
00:10:42,845 --> 00:10:46,125
Right? Chew on that. Part of something, but
266
00:10:46,125 --> 00:10:48,304
also part of something.
267
00:10:49,009 --> 00:10:51,110
Think about it. I sure will.
268
00:10:51,889 --> 00:10:54,870
So, yeah, shout out to Handsome Pod,
269
00:10:55,809 --> 00:10:57,029
shout out to,
270
00:10:58,370 --> 00:11:00,950
hitting your glasses on the microphone.
271
00:11:01,809 --> 00:11:04,845
It's always a good look. So, yeah, coming
272
00:11:04,904 --> 00:11:08,184
back and being part of something, I didn't
273
00:11:08,184 --> 00:11:09,485
want to be seen
274
00:11:10,345 --> 00:11:11,565
as part
275
00:11:12,904 --> 00:11:15,545
of something. I wanted to be seen as
276
00:11:15,545 --> 00:11:16,764
myself. Like,
277
00:11:17,144 --> 00:11:18,605
I am part of something,
278
00:11:19,639 --> 00:11:21,080
So I came up with,
279
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,899
I came up with some alternatives
280
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,980
for the manosphere.
281
00:11:26,759 --> 00:11:27,259
Manosphere
282
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:28,860
alternative.
283
00:11:29,639 --> 00:11:32,200
Because we heard a lot about that, the
284
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:32,700
manosphere.
285
00:11:33,914 --> 00:11:37,115
That it's just really important in our current
286
00:11:37,115 --> 00:11:38,335
American society.
287
00:11:39,195 --> 00:11:41,195
And I was like, who came up with
288
00:11:41,195 --> 00:11:42,495
this manosphere?
289
00:11:43,995 --> 00:11:46,875
Like, and and also we're like the most
290
00:11:46,875 --> 00:11:47,375
powerful
291
00:11:48,394 --> 00:11:48,894
force
292
00:11:49,649 --> 00:11:50,709
is the manosphere.
293
00:11:51,250 --> 00:11:53,750
So I wanted to come with some alternate
294
00:11:54,049 --> 00:11:54,549
names,
295
00:11:55,409 --> 00:11:55,909
manosphere
296
00:11:56,370 --> 00:11:56,870
alternatives.
297
00:11:58,690 --> 00:12:00,449
And now I I gotta give a shout
298
00:12:00,449 --> 00:12:03,365
out to my homie, Joe. I was working
299
00:12:03,585 --> 00:12:06,404
needs up with Joe. Shout outs to Joe.
300
00:12:06,945 --> 00:12:09,044
And, so, Manosphere alternatives.
301
00:12:10,625 --> 00:12:12,325
Who came up with Manosphere?
302
00:12:13,345 --> 00:12:14,965
The NutSac Collective,
303
00:12:15,345 --> 00:12:16,644
the Cock Podium,
304
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,899
The Erection Connection,
305
00:12:20,079 --> 00:12:21,699
The Sausage Party.
306
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,299
How about this?
307
00:12:23,759 --> 00:12:24,259
Community
308
00:12:25,039 --> 00:12:28,100
spelled with two u's, no o.
309
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,065
So it's c u m m u n
310
00:12:31,304 --> 00:12:32,924
I t y, community.
311
00:12:34,345 --> 00:12:35,965
The penis burst.
312
00:12:36,585 --> 00:12:37,725
The most powerful
313
00:12:38,105 --> 00:12:39,085
force in
314
00:12:39,544 --> 00:12:40,044
American
315
00:12:41,144 --> 00:12:41,644

316
00:12:42,024 --> 00:12:42,524
discourse.
317
00:12:43,540 --> 00:12:44,279

00:12:44,660 --> 00:12:45,160

connection,
322
00:12:51,059 --> 00:12:52,120

323
00:12:52,740 --> 00:12:53,240

00:12:59,174 --> 00:13:01,514
Let's hear it for just
327
00:13:02,214 --> 00:13:03,115

some alternate
329
00:13:05,095 --> 00:13:05,595
names.

00:13:17,460 --> 00:13:19,240
Really rolls off the tongue.
335
00:13:19,540 --> 00:13:21,779
Wanna give a shout out to Bridget. She
336
00:13:21,779 --> 00:13:23,240

renowned mystery
344
00:13:43,019 --> 00:13:44,319

345
00:13:45,259 --> 00:13:45,759

346
00:13:46,139 --> 00:13:47,759

347
00:13:48,139 --> 00:13:48,639
gift
348
00:13:48,940 --> 00:13:49,759

349
00:13:50,379 --> 00:13:52,240
Now listen here, woman.
350
00:13:52,620 --> 00:13:53,440
Dan Bridgette
351
00:13:53,899 --> 00:13:55,360
hosting a podcast.
352
00:13:56,475 --> 00:13:56,975
Shout
353
00:13:57,434 --> 00:13:57,934

354
00:13:58,794 --> 00:14:00,414
Woman o Spear.
355
00:14:02,075 --> 00:14:05,375
So one of the reasons I've been really
356
00:14:05,514 --> 00:14:08,735
kinda off, and I'm a I'm even afraid
357
00:14:08,794 --> 00:14:11,774
to really get into this too much,
358
00:14:13,090 --> 00:14:15,970
but I've been the victim of fraud. I
359
00:14:15,970 --> 00:14:19,110
got hacked in one of my shipping providers.
360
00:14:20,129 --> 00:14:20,629
So
361
00:14:21,170 --> 00:14:24,389
I sent a package to my dad in
362
00:14:24,690 --> 00:14:25,190
Florida
363
00:14:26,465 --> 00:14:27,845
in the spring,
364
00:14:28,304 --> 00:14:28,804
and
365
00:14:30,065 --> 00:14:33,445
something happened and my account got hacked.
366
00:14:34,384 --> 00:14:34,884
And
367
00:14:35,504 --> 00:14:36,004
criminals
368
00:14:36,865 --> 00:14:38,965
made $10,000
369
00:14:39,264 --> 00:14:39,925
of fake
370
00:14:40,850 --> 00:14:41,910
shipping charges
371
00:14:42,370 --> 00:14:43,590
on my account.
372
00:14:44,529 --> 00:14:47,430
And, it took me
until just
373
00:14:47,970 --> 00:14:48,470
recently
374
00:14:49,490 --> 00:14:51,110
to get an acknowledgement
375
00:14:51,649 --> 00:14:53,190
that it was all fraud
376
00:14:53,730 --> 00:14:54,230
from
377
00:14:55,375 --> 00:14:57,875
the shipper. But so I've been, like,
378
00:14:58,254 --> 00:15:01,134
aggressive once I figured that out and I
379
00:15:01,134 --> 00:15:04,274
had to tease it out of shipping data
380
00:15:04,815 --> 00:15:07,694
and I figured out there was fraud, I
381
00:15:07,694 --> 00:15:09,714
had to really advocate
382
00:15:10,420 --> 00:15:10,920
forcefully,
383
00:15:11,700 --> 00:15:15,320
and I'm still doing it, but I've been
384
00:15:16,179 --> 00:15:16,679
told
385
00:15:17,059 --> 00:15:20,259
that they've cut a check, and they have
386
00:15:20,259 --> 00:15:20,759
acknowledged,
387
00:15:22,995 --> 00:15:23,495
in
388
00:15:24,034 --> 00:15:27,334
in writing that it appears to be fraud.
389
00:15:28,034 --> 00:15:28,534
So
390
00:15:29,074 --> 00:15:32,034
they and that they've closed my account and
391
00:15:32,034 --> 00:15:33,014
got a check
392
00:15:33,315 --> 00:15:34,134
to reimburse.
393
00:15:35,394 --> 00:15:38,910
I wasn't I I paid a couple $100
394
00:15:38,910 --> 00:15:39,889
of fraudulent
395
00:15:40,350 --> 00:15:41,889
stuff, but then I
396
00:15:42,350 --> 00:15:45,550
I realized there was fraud going on, and
397
00:15:45,550 --> 00:15:47,490
there were $10,000
398
00:15:47,629 --> 00:15:48,290
of it
399
00:15:48,705 --> 00:15:51,524
before I could get them to, like, agree
400
00:15:51,585 --> 00:15:53,445
that it it was indeed
401
00:15:53,745 --> 00:15:55,125
fraud. I was, like,
402
00:15:55,665 --> 00:15:58,325
jumping up and down and waving my hands
403
00:15:58,384 --> 00:15:59,125
for months.
404
00:16:00,465 --> 00:16:01,285
And it finally
405
00:16:01,825 --> 00:16:02,884
got forwarded
406
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,220
to a person
407
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:05,320
who
408
00:16:06,279 --> 00:16:08,759
looking at it, you can obviously see it's
409
00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:09,820
fraud. The shipments
410
00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:12,139
don't have full
411
00:16:12,839 --> 00:16:13,980
name information.
412
00:16:14,679 --> 00:16:15,820
They're these
413
00:16:16,605 --> 00:16:19,345
next day air shipments that I never
414
00:16:19,884 --> 00:16:22,544
use, and so they're very expensive.
415
00:16:23,485 --> 00:16:25,585
And anyway, I'd be I was a victim
416
00:16:25,644 --> 00:16:26,304
of fraud.
417
00:16:26,924 --> 00:16:27,745
I used
418
00:16:28,284 --> 00:16:29,264
the web
419
00:16:30,769 --> 00:16:32,149
to report it,
420
00:16:32,929 --> 00:16:36,309
and it took a long time, but finally,
421
00:16:36,690 --> 00:16:39,509
they've admitted there was fraud
422
00:16:39,970 --> 00:16:42,070
going on my shipping account.
423
00:16:42,605 --> 00:16:45,504
And it it kinda shut down my business
424
00:16:45,805 --> 00:16:46,625
for a while
425
00:16:47,485 --> 00:16:48,305
for, like,
426
00:16:49,325 --> 00:16:50,945
eight months or something,
427
00:16:51,485 --> 00:16:53,725
and I'm still trying to get it back.
428
00:16:53,725 --> 00:16:55,504
But at least I've got
429
00:16:56,279 --> 00:16:56,779
acknowledgment
430
00:16:57,159 --> 00:17:00,220
there was fraud. So that was confusing.
431
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,480
I'm not any sort of expert on that,
432
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,480
but I was like, hey. I didn't send
433
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:05,980
that.
434
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,240
What's going on? That looks weird, and that
435
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:09,740
was
436
00:17:10,325 --> 00:17:11,464
how it started.
437
00:17:11,765 --> 00:17:14,904
Something I've been working on for a while
438
00:17:15,365 --> 00:17:17,625
at the same time because, like,
439
00:17:17,924 --> 00:17:20,644
I had a long time to spend on
440
00:17:20,644 --> 00:17:21,144
hold.
441
00:17:23,559 --> 00:17:25,259
Like a lot of people,
442
00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:26,700
I've been seeing
443
00:17:27,159 --> 00:17:27,659
podcasts,
444
00:17:28,679 --> 00:17:31,099
and they're not, like, just audio
445
00:17:31,879 --> 00:17:32,379
files.
446
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,319
They're not just people speaking into mics. What
447
00:17:37,319 --> 00:17:38,059
they are
448
00:17:38,654 --> 00:17:39,154
is
449
00:17:39,535 --> 00:17:40,035
audio,
450
00:17:41,055 --> 00:17:42,275
but they're videos.
451
00:17:42,654 --> 00:17:44,815
You know, I was talking a while back
452
00:17:44,815 --> 00:17:46,515
about video podcasts,
453
00:17:47,934 --> 00:17:50,914
and I I could kind of I thought
454
00:17:51,829 --> 00:17:54,250
that would be a good way to communicate
455
00:17:54,470 --> 00:17:55,210
with people,
456
00:17:55,750 --> 00:17:58,630
and a lot of people are posting on
457
00:17:58,630 --> 00:17:59,130
YouTube
458
00:17:59,430 --> 00:18:03,109
their podcast, and it's really just like a
459
00:18:03,109 --> 00:18:04,250
TV show.
460
00:18:05,265 --> 00:18:08,065
And so I don't really have overhead. I
461
00:18:08,065 --> 00:18:10,005
don't really have people
462
00:18:10,305 --> 00:18:13,605
anyone on my staff. I have no producer.
463
00:18:13,904 --> 00:18:15,684
I do it. It's all DIY.
464
00:18:17,309 --> 00:18:20,450
So I was like, I wanna have video,
465
00:18:21,149 --> 00:18:24,269
but I don't wanna do the lighting. I
466
00:18:24,269 --> 00:18:26,289
don't wanna run the camera.
467
00:18:26,990 --> 00:18:29,869
It would be helpful if I even had
468
00:18:29,869 --> 00:18:32,210
someone to help me produce, but
469
00:18:33,215 --> 00:18:36,595
that's not really what this is about
470
00:18:37,295 --> 00:18:40,914
at its core. What this is is connecting
471
00:18:42,174 --> 00:18:42,994
and providing
472
00:18:43,695 --> 00:18:44,195
representation.
473
00:18:45,375 --> 00:18:46,515
Connecting with
474
00:18:47,450 --> 00:18:48,109
and providing
475
00:18:48,650 --> 00:18:49,150
representation
476
00:18:49,690 --> 00:18:50,190
for
477
00:18:50,650 --> 00:18:53,390
disabled people, and people in wheelchair,
478
00:18:53,690 --> 00:18:57,150
and people who know and love those people.
479
00:18:58,009 --> 00:19:01,309
That's kind of what this is all about.
480
00:19:02,144 --> 00:19:02,644
So
481
00:19:03,025 --> 00:19:06,785
one thing with disabled people, it's when they're
482
00:19:06,785 --> 00:19:07,285
imaged,
483
00:19:08,384 --> 00:19:09,525
when they
484
00:19:09,945 --> 00:19:10,445
they
485
00:19:10,865 --> 00:19:12,404
get put on camera,
486
00:19:13,345 --> 00:19:15,365
they become like a locus
487
00:19:15,825 --> 00:19:17,205
for the viewer
488
00:19:18,169 --> 00:19:21,309
to look at them and kind of project
489
00:19:21,769 --> 00:19:22,669
their values
490
00:19:23,049 --> 00:19:23,789
on them.
491
00:19:24,569 --> 00:19:27,289
And they stop having their own kind of
492
00:19:27,289 --> 00:19:27,789
agency
493
00:19:28,169 --> 00:19:31,804
and, like, you could pity them or you
494
00:19:31,804 --> 00:19:33,904
could say, oh, they're so inspiring
495
00:19:34,444 --> 00:19:34,605
or
496
00:19:36,444 --> 00:19:38,065
and that's called inspiration
497
00:19:39,085 --> 00:19:39,585
porn.
498
00:19:40,125 --> 00:19:42,545
And that's what disabled people
499
00:19:43,164 --> 00:19:44,144
are often
500
00:19:44,684 --> 00:19:45,664
on camera.
501
00:19:46,529 --> 00:19:49,350
So I thought, I wanna my son
502
00:19:50,289 --> 00:19:50,789
is
503
00:19:51,410 --> 00:19:53,590
like really into YouTubers.
504
00:19:54,289 --> 00:19:56,690
You know, at the same time, he's like
505
00:19:56,690 --> 00:19:59,430
watching YouTube like it's TV.
506
00:20:00,205 --> 00:20:02,285
And I thought, there's gotta be a way
507
00:20:02,285 --> 00:20:03,424
to like connect
508
00:20:03,725 --> 00:20:04,225
this.
509
00:20:05,484 --> 00:20:06,705
And I'm an artist.
510
00:20:07,805 --> 00:20:08,785
I went to
511
00:20:09,085 --> 00:20:09,585
CCAC,
512
00:20:09,965 --> 00:20:10,465
California
513
00:20:10,924 --> 00:20:13,025
College of Arts and Crafts,
514
00:20:14,549 --> 00:20:16,329
in the late nineties,
515
00:20:16,789 --> 00:20:18,009
millennium time.
516
00:20:18,869 --> 00:20:21,589
And so I thought I knew a little
517
00:20:21,589 --> 00:20:22,569
bit about
518
00:20:23,509 --> 00:20:26,089
draw like how to use some software.
519
00:20:26,804 --> 00:20:27,544
And I
520
00:20:28,164 --> 00:20:29,304
thought I can make
521
00:20:30,164 --> 00:20:31,865
an an I saw this
522
00:20:32,404 --> 00:20:32,904
software
523
00:20:34,404 --> 00:20:37,065
that called Adobe Character Animator
524
00:20:38,004 --> 00:20:40,424
that you could use your webcam
525
00:20:41,579 --> 00:20:42,079
and
526
00:20:42,380 --> 00:20:43,679
like make yourself
527
00:20:44,140 --> 00:20:46,480
into an animated character.
528
00:20:47,099 --> 00:20:49,819
And I thought, okay this is gonna be
529
00:20:49,819 --> 00:20:51,359
great for my podcast.
530
00:20:52,140 --> 00:20:53,039
This animated
531
00:20:53,339 --> 00:20:53,839
character
532
00:20:54,539 --> 00:20:56,319
can read my podcast
533
00:20:57,554 --> 00:21:00,434
and I don't have to like submit to
534
00:21:00,434 --> 00:21:03,654
the gaze of the camera and the viewer.
535
00:21:04,274 --> 00:21:07,014
I don't have to I can like own
536
00:21:07,394 --> 00:21:09,335
or I can take back ownership
537
00:21:09,714 --> 00:21:11,095
of the way I'm represented
538
00:21:11,794 --> 00:21:12,534
on camera.
539
00:21:12,990 --> 00:21:13,490
And
540
00:21:14,509 --> 00:21:17,869
in using my talent as an artist, my
541
00:21:17,869 --> 00:21:21,309
training really, I'm not super talented, but I
542
00:21:21,309 --> 00:21:22,130
am trained
543
00:21:22,990 --> 00:21:25,410
and supposed to be, I guess. But
544
00:21:26,109 --> 00:21:27,089
anyhow, I
545
00:21:27,625 --> 00:21:30,684
used my training to make an animated
546
00:21:30,984 --> 00:21:31,484
character,
547
00:21:31,785 --> 00:21:33,484
make it work. And now,
548
00:21:34,904 --> 00:21:36,365
the last episode,
549
00:21:37,144 --> 00:21:40,765
starting with the last episode, I'm able to
550
00:21:40,825 --> 00:21:41,325
create
551
00:21:41,625 --> 00:21:42,125
animated
552
00:21:42,649 --> 00:21:43,789
clips where
553
00:21:44,730 --> 00:21:46,909
the character reads my
554
00:21:47,450 --> 00:21:47,950
podcast,
555
00:21:48,329 --> 00:21:48,829
and
556
00:21:49,609 --> 00:21:50,990
that helps me
557
00:21:51,450 --> 00:21:51,950
create
558
00:21:52,250 --> 00:21:52,750
television
559
00:21:53,210 --> 00:21:56,075
like content, which is what kids who are
560
00:21:56,075 --> 00:21:58,174
my son's age watch.
561
00:21:59,835 --> 00:22:03,115
So that's been, like, while I've been trying
562
00:22:03,115 --> 00:22:06,234
to tease out shipping fraud, I've also been
563
00:22:06,234 --> 00:22:08,634
able been trying to figure out how to
564
00:22:08,634 --> 00:22:09,615
be an animator.
565
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,940
And I got somewhere. I made some clips.
566
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,779
Probably, I'll make one of this even. Anyway,
567
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,059
thanks for watching.
568
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,220
Thanks for listening.
569
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,660
It's What's the Matter with Me podcast.
570
00:22:25,214 --> 00:22:27,554
It's like an animated movie
571
00:22:28,894 --> 00:22:29,714
or television
572
00:22:30,255 --> 00:22:32,275
