Episode 111: Consciousness

1
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,000
Welcome back to another episode
of Record, My Father.

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,240
Today we're going to be talking
about consciousness.

3
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,160
Well, when I think about
consciousness, I think

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,800
immediately of what's his face,
Duarte or whatever it was.

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,880
And it's.
I think therefore I am.

6
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,000
I think about that a lot.
And I mean, does that really

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,800
mean you exist?
I guess it does.

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:28,800
But this.
Yeah.

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,680
What were you saying?
I was going to say, according to

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,560
Google, which knows everything
and their AI overview,

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,480
consciousness is broadly defined
as subjective awareness of

12
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:43,960
oneself and one's surroundings.
So you think about the picture

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,640
that you have of who you are and
the people that you know and

14
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,280
what they look like and what
your perception of them is from

15
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,760
looks to the way their mind is
to the way they speak and

16
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,960
everything that to me, that kind
of puts in terms I can

17
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,640
understand, right?
Yeah, 'cause at the same time

18
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,680
you think of a, what is it?
A sea cucumber?

19
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:13,120
And the way a sea cucumber sees
is in thermal imaging, it sees

20
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,720
thermal heat that radiates off
of something, right, like the

21
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,120
Blues and what have you.
And.

22
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,600
Sounds like something made-up.
And no, it's true.

23
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,600
And I think that is that
considered consciousness if your

24
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,160
vision is altered in a different
state, I don't know.

25
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:28,800
Yeah, it's a.
Different.

26
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:32,920
It's a different state.
I mean, if we, if we see things

27
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,560
differently, then if I look at
you, I see one thing.

28
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,080
But if the eagle looks at you,
it sees something different.

29
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:43,600
So it has a different conscious
consciousness of you than I

30
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:44,720
would.
Well, that seems like

31
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,760
perception.
That seems like a perception of

32
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,720
something and the way you
perceive, not necessarily

33
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,840
whether or not something is
conscious.

34
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,640
Conscious is something like,
well, that's the argument that

35
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,960
people had for the longest time
is if animals were conscious and

36
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,720
they said no because they like
to eat them, We like to eat them

37
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,640
as people, right.
And therefore they're not

38
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,160
conscious.
We don't need to acknowledge

39
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,480
that what we're doing is
terrible.

40
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,240
That's the whole thing.
Yeah, I, I think you're, what

41
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,640
you're talking about is
perception.

42
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,960
Oh, perception, perceive things.
Oh, this is different.

43
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,200
See consciousness is the state
of being aware of 1's own

44
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,640
existence.
I'm alive, whereas perception is

45
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:28,120
I feel my heart, I must be alive
is the process of interpreting

46
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,400
sensory information to make
sense of the world, forming a

47
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,920
mental representation of what is
being experienced.

48
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,360
So very very close, very close
consciousness.

49
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,760
Consciousness is more of, hey,
I'm a thing.

50
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,440
Perception is I have a bag of
skin around me.

51
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,960
I I smell things that in your
room it doesn't smell like a

52
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,800
whore anymore, but it has
changed.

53
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:05,960
You have such great vocabulary
what what people are around you

54
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,880
too.
How you are being affected by

55
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:13,320
other people I think is also the
way that perception works.

56
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,720
But I don't know.
I mean, I think that there's

57
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,120
also an interesting thing about
being present, what that means

58
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,800
and what that means being in
conscious.

59
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,400
Well, yeah, yeah.
What are you going to say?

60
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,080
I was going to say when you,
when you, when you said being

61
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,680
present, that that's that kind
of struck A chord with me

62
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,560
because one of the things they
say that the what is the total

63
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,480
enlightenment is when you no
longer worry or think about the

64
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,000
past or desire or look forward
to the future.

65
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,040
It's when you are in the moment,
that's it.

66
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,680
And I, and I think that I think
that that's, that seems like

67
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,920
almost an impossibility because,
you know, being where I am right

68
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,360
now and doing what I'm doing
right now, it's all predicated

69
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,600
upon thousands of decisions that
I've made over the past 65

70
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,920
years, you know, from marrying
your mother to having you.

71
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:17,079
So how I could be in the moment,
it seems very odd that that is a

72
00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:18,959
possibility.
You know what I mean?

73
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:23,560
Yeah, No, I mean, if you're, I
think at the same time though is

74
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,760
not really thinking about the
decisions that you've made, but

75
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,680
thinking about the decisions
that you are currently making in

76
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,320
that instant is really
important.

77
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,920
But I don't know if I've ever
thought like that.

78
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,040
I don't know if I've ever been
present, right.

79
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,680
I don't know if I ever have.
I remember the only time I think

80
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,160
that even on vacation, right.
Well, the reason I say that is

81
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,080
because I look back to memory
and I don't really remember a

82
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,760
whole lot of the ways that I
felt or the the things that have

83
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:51,440
happened to me.
I don't.

84
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,320
I really remember a lot of
things and I think that that is

85
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,680
kind of having to deal with
maybe how easy it is for me to

86
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,840
be present is that you have no
memory of the past, right?

87
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,720
I don't know.
Do you do you do you not from

88
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,440
your childhood and on up not
have like points that that were

89
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,880
see, that's mine is I have all
of these points that were huge

90
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,720
things that happened during my
life and they were huge to me

91
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,640
and they're they're like memory
moments.

92
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,360
Are you?
Trying to milestones or just

93
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,000
general?
No, there weren't milestones.

94
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,040
I mean, I remember when my
mother brought a dog home that

95
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,800
that was.
That's not a milestone.

96
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,920
Yeah, that was a.
Pet and and I remember reaching

97
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,800
underneath her 1968 custom Ford
under the seat and grabbing this

98
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,480
furry thing and it goes and and
and I didn't know what it was

99
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,480
and I didn't realize it until I
pulled the paw out that it was a

100
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,760
dog and then I was ripping its
freaking arm off.

101
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:56,000
I was stupid, but it was like I
was probably 8 1/2 then and that

102
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,760
a little over 8, something like
that.

103
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,240
And that was just to me, which
is the most amazing thing.

104
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,600
And it's something that I
remember.

105
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,600
I vividly remember the blue
seats.

106
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:09,520
I remember the carpet.
I remember that there was a

107
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:15,160
there was a like a rubber mat in
the back that I remember that on

108
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,240
the back of her of the passenger
seat, which is where the dog

109
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,920
was, was under the passage.
I mean, I just have that kind of

110
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,400
thing.
It was an overcast day.

111
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,520
It was 530 in the sun.
It was a little dark.

112
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,120
I think maybe it would have been
It wasn't cold cold, but it

113
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,400
wasn't warm warm.
So it was like September, you

114
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,280
know, that's what that's that's
what I remember, you know, and

115
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:38,800
it.
Was just like.

116
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,240
Very wow.
And it's the same thing that I

117
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,400
can remember when I was sitting
on the porch and I've told a

118
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,440
story about when we watch the
squirrel.

119
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,560
Swimming around, you know?
Yeah.

120
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,600
The rats, yeah.
I remember looking down at my

121
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,360
shoes and then looking at my
brother and him saying words and

122
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,200
I could just see his mouth move.
You a dumb ass and.

123
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,600
I don't have vivid memories like
that.

124
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,680
I don't know why.
I don't really have very

125
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,000
colorful memories, more so
colorful dreams.

126
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,960
I feel like I'm almost more
present for the dreams that I

127
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,080
have than for my actual life
after once.

128
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,880
Yeah.
Yeah, no, I even do.

129
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,080
Like, last night was crazy.
Oh, my gosh.

130
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,800
Really?
I feel more present in my dreams

131
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,920
than I do in my own life, which
is kind of interesting, really.

132
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,600
I don't know what it is.
It almost seems like in my own

133
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,000
life, the decisions I make have
already been made before and I

134
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,400
I'm just reliving and I don't
know what it's almost.

135
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,800
I'm kind of a predestination
kind of guy in a way, but I'm

136
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,320
not Christian, so I don't know
if that's predestination or

137
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,520
that's just a circle.
There's all sorts of is it the

138
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,480
Calvinist that said that your
life is all completely

139
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,000
predetermined, Everything's
going to happen.

140
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,720
That is what this is OK.
Or what you said, John Calvin?

141
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,640
Yeah.
Yeah, and they, they, you know,

142
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:52,840
it doesn't really matter what
you do.

143
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,360
This is what's going to happen.
You're going to do it here.

144
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,200
You're going to, you know, it's
already predetermined if you're

145
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,040
going to go to heaven or hell or
you're, you know, and all this

146
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,720
other kind of happy horse shit,
you know, and, and they,

147
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,120
everything's been determined.
But, you know, if I pick my nose

148
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,680
right now, will that be, oh, we,
we already knew you were going

149
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,120
to do that, you know, and, and
it's like, OK, if I do this or

150
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,680
do that or do something
different, you know, is it going

151
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:16,200
to matter?
And so, yeah, but I, I don't, I

152
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,120
don't believe that.
I think, I think that there is

153
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,640
weirdly, I think that we have a
certain amount of free will and

154
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:30,840
I think that at this point that
we that the powers that be have

155
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,440
learned that manipulating the
masses free will makes them a

156
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,559
lot of money and.
All the powers that be meaning

157
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:39,760
the elite.
Is that what you're talking

158
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:40,480
about?
I don't yeah.

159
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,679
I mean when I just think anybody
that like looks at it and says,

160
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,960
hey, I'm an influencer.
How can I drive people to they

161
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,640
they will make me money if they
buy stuff that I say to buy or I

162
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:56,560
tell them to get the DeWalt
screwdriver, you know, and they

163
00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:59,440
will do it because they trust me
and love me and all that.

164
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,040
And so DeWalt, then the sales go
up.

165
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,920
So then I get paid, you know,
and it's like, so I get the

166
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,960
masses.
Now if I can manipulate the

167
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,960
masses without direct marketing
in a slower and a roundabout

168
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:19,680
way, like like everything that
you do from the beginning when

169
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:23,680
you get up till you go to work,
every, every lot of people look

170
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:26,520
on this little square thing.
Every single thing that comes

171
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,040
through there is running through
an algorithm that will either

172
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:33,720
give you things that you'd like
to see, or give you things that

173
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,920
you don't like to see.
Well, that's the whole thing

174
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:41,720
with the Instagram is it's about
1 trillion different TV

175
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:42,920
channels.
That's what it is.

176
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,760
But all of them are ads.
It seems like all the famous

177
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,760
popular influencers are all
people that are trying to hawk

178
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,920
something to you, right?
It's kind of interesting if you

179
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,920
remember cable and how you used
to well.

180
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,360
That's what they say about
podcasting.

181
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,040
I mean, are we trying to sell
something, though?

182
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,840
I don't know if we're trying to
sell something, I think we're

183
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,960
just two bored people that kind
of enjoy each other's

184
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,360
relationship.
I don't know if we've been

185
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,840
trying to make money off of this
necessarily.

186
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,520
Not really.
But if that happens, that's

187
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,840
great because it's an art form.
Not really.

188
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,520
I wouldn't really consider this
an art form, but it kind of is.

189
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,800
But it's not.
But yeah, I mean, do you feel

190
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,960
conscious during this podcast?
Conscious.

191
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,400
What do you mean?
Do you feel self aware I guess?

192
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,120
Yeah, I do.
I think that I feel, but I feel

193
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:35,240
it's for for, I don't think I do
this for as much.

194
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,920
You touched me after like the
5th or 6th one when you said one

195
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,120
of your friends heard us and
then that's how they reintroduce

196
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,680
themselves.
That's why I thought that.

197
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,120
And that and that really like
sparked me to say, wow, it was,

198
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,680
I mean, basically it was a great
way to keep in touch with you

199
00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:57,560
and to build something that we
would do together over time.

200
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,520
And I thought it would be dead
and probably six weeks.

201
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:05,000
And I figured, hey, I'm going to
flush a grand on this.

202
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,000
I don't care.
But I'm going.

203
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:09,840
To.
Share Still doing it?

204
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,360
Yeah, but we're sharing ideas
and I'm just like, this is what

205
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,520
you want to do with your kid.
And I'm assuming this is what

206
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:15,600
you want to do with your old
man.

207
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,480
It's like, oh, share stories.
And we, it resonated a lot with

208
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,840
me because of what that that I
have a whole lot of unanswered

209
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,920
questions to my father, to my
mother, to other people.

210
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,760
I didn't, you know, and I
learned all these later in life.

211
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,840
I think that and if I die and
you have unanswered questions,

212
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,000
you're a serious dumb ass, OK.
It would be really hard to have

213
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,520
unanswered questions at this
point that we're about 115 hours

214
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:47,440
into this thing.
Yeah.

215
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,840
So it's like even even more
than.

216
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,480
That even that you don't, you
don't act some act my sexual

217
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,480
preference or any weird stuff
like that.

218
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,120
You can ask me that stuff if you
want.

219
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,320
I don't care.
You can ask me any single thing.

220
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:03,600
I may not disclose it on a
public format, you know, but,

221
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,640
but, but I'll tell you
personally and I'll tell you

222
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,840
separately and then we'll decide
whether or not we can let the

223
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,320
rest of the world know that.
And I think that that's a

224
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,840
certain thing that we have that
I don't know if I have.

225
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,640
I mean, I have with your mother.
We're just, we're just

226
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,200
completely, you know, I don't
lie.

227
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,600
I don't, I don't lie.
I don't make shit up.

228
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:29,800
I might hide certain things, but
but you know, when it comes to

229
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:34,520
like things like that, I just
like I have to, I feel like if I

230
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,160
had to do that, that I don't
want that relationship and I

231
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,200
don't want a relationship where
my kid doesn't trust me, where

232
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:47,760
my kid kid doesn't know where he
stands, where my kid, you know,

233
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,040
those kind of things matter to
me.

234
00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:57,080
And I, I, I want to make you a
good person.

235
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,200
And I think I have been,
whatever you want to call it, a

236
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,480
piece of what you are is part of
what I have pushed toward you.

237
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,240
That is good shit.
Not.

238
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,640
I mean, I'm sure I've taught you
lots of bad shit.

239
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,680
A lot of a lot of bad stuff, but
I think ethics wise, ethics

240
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:19,960
wise, I think that definitely
probably the best thing you you

241
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,640
let off on me was that an
improper way to make money is to

242
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,880
lie, cheat and steal.
And I think that IA lot of

243
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,320
people don't teach their kids
that.

244
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,080
And I think that a lot of people
grow a lot to become business

245
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,520
owners that are lying, cheating
Steelers.

246
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,640
And I think that you don't you
you.

247
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,080
Change that for me.
If your if your business will

248
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,080
only survive if you exploit the
people that are working for you,

249
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:52,040
that then then I have no, I have
no respect. 00 respect.

250
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,280
Oh, we can't afford to pay them
that It's like, well, then you

251
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:56,680
don't have a sustainable
business.

252
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,200
You should.
You should, you know.

253
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,240
Or maybe you should be doing the
work yourself.

254
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,800
I think that that's more so the
the proper kind of jurisdiction

255
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,560
for that, that kind of question,
right.

256
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,080
But at the same time, yeah, no,
I always paid well.

257
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,480
I paid fairly and here we are
now with two projects.

258
00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:17,240
Yeah.
And you're and you'll get, you

259
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,400
got screwed.
You absolutely will get Oh, I

260
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,120
got screwed.
So bad in the beginning.

261
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,000
Oh God, yeah.
But that's OK.

262
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,960
The beginning is in the very
beginning now.

263
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,480
It's still the beginning, but I
don't know.

264
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,880
You know, well, you're, you
know, you have moved fairly

265
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:39,760
quickly and progressed really
quickly into doing what you want

266
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,720
to do.
And I, I, it's amazing.

267
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:49,320
That's that my, my consciousness
of it is we got to bring him

268
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,360
back to the topic.
Come on, man.

269
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,840
Well, I think that is.
What we're doing is we're aware

270
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,640
of our relationship, one which I
think is a conscious effort to

271
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,800
do so, right?
I think that's a conscious

272
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,320
effort, the way you affect
people, right?

273
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,120
Not the way that you're being
affected, but the way you are

274
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,800
affecting, right?
But at the same time, I mean,

275
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,240
you think about animals, so you
think the dogs are conscious.

276
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,120
Hold it, you mean?
Oh yeah, the new painting.

277
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,120
We're going to say that hold.
On the new painting, we have a

278
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,040
new edition.
Yeah, there.

279
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,000
There it is.
That's the great painting right

280
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,600
there.
Oh, that's fantastic.

281
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,000
Hold up to the camera.
Oh, that's great.

282
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,480
That.
That's Yoshi, and that's Yup

283
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:28,760
Yup.
That's an impressive painting.

284
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:36,480
I do like that.
But as I was saying, the the

285
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,160
dogs here.
That painting, Yeah, the baby

286
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,920
was done by a a, a, a friend
that I've known for 15 years.

287
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,160
Doctor Jeff.
Doctor Jeff.

288
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,680
Doctor.
Yeah.

289
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,840
He's a doctor, yeah.
Doctor.

290
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,240
Yeah, yeah.
No.

291
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,480
But do you think the dogs are
conscious?

292
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:02,720
How do you think that works?
Well, I mean, I thought it was

293
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,720
interesting when people say that
they have since they have a

294
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,600
shrunken life, they they live
their whole life in a very short

295
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,800
time span.
So their consciousness is

296
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,280
magnified exponentially 2 hours.
But then that would assume that

297
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,120
a fruit fly is just really
magnifying, so.

298
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,960
What do you want?
But what does that even mean

299
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,080
though?
That like I understand that the,

300
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,440
the idea that their, their life
is everyday is like a year or

301
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,880
so, it's a magnifying amount of
time.

302
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,800
But what what do you mean by
their consciousness is enhanced?

303
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,480
Like their ability to perceive
is is better than our not to

304
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,000
perceive, but to exist is better
than ours from the time that we

305
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,400
are at that age.
And so on and so forth.

306
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:50,200
Do you think that the fact that
they don't, since they don't

307
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,960
have a higher brain function,
that things don't bother them

308
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,040
unless they bother them
immediately?

309
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,880
So they have more of a sense of
now like, like Yoshi doesn't or

310
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,240
Yup, Yup.
They don't have a sense of wow.

311
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:08,560
I mean, they have some sense of
what happened yesterday and the

312
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,520
day before yesterday.
And that's why they, they, they

313
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:17,319
love your mother and not me and,
and, and except when I'm feeding

314
00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:22,319
them and when she's not around.
And but I think that that they

315
00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:26,599
have less understanding about
what happened before and what's

316
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:30,120
going to happen.
So like when, you know, when

317
00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:32,200
something comes up, it's like
his job to bark.

318
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:33,640
I have to bark to let people
know.

319
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,120
I have to bark to scare them
away.

320
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:36,560
I have to bark.
I have to bark.

321
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,720
And I don't know what it is.
And I'm always trying to figure

322
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,920
out like, is he talking or is he
yelling ACC?

323
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,600
Look at that, Look at that, look
at that, look at that.

324
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,760
You know, And it's weird.
I do the same thing with her.

325
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,280
When I see a cool looking bird
on the bird feeder, I'm like,

326
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:49,560
bye.
Yeah.

327
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,320
Come here.
Come here, Valerie, come here.

328
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,800
Well, if you think about what
you're saying to the existence

329
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,720
of a monk, right is kind of the
same thing A devout monk is is I

330
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,240
his whole life lives around the
aspect of prayer, meditation,

331
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,560
and a simple life.
Much like similar to the way the

332
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:13,680
dog schedules aren't affected by
exterior things such as other

333
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,560
than eating and drinking water,
I really don't think that they

334
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,200
have too much of A busy
schedule.

335
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,960
So I think that.
You're right.

336
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,200
Well, it's like all the.
Animals, right?

337
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,080
Animals are.
More survival, survival and

338
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,240
procreation of their species.
That's, that's what every animal

339
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,800
does, right?
That's what we do.

340
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:35,680
We survive and we procreate to
expand our to expand or continue

341
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,680
to expand our species.
And after that, what?

342
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:40,760
What?
What good are you?

343
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,040
Some of these behind things, not
all of us.

344
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,080
Though I mean not not many dogs
have left by behind a big

345
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,520
history other than but they
leave it behind for men.

346
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,800
I don't know if they leave it
behind for other dogs does.

347
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,200
But history is correlated to
consciousness for you.

348
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,480
I don't know, I I don't know
when you when you think of

349
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,360
consciousness, is it, is it in
the moment or is it like what

350
00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:04,880
happened before you know, or
what what is going to happen?

351
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,080
You know it's being.
Present, though, it's being

352
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,640
aware of the.
Yeah, I guess being present

353
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,600
means you're sort of.
It's not really forward or

354
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,560
backward, it's now.
Yeah, but it's being now, but

355
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:21,560
also now is to me.
Everything's predicated now upon

356
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,960
what I've done before, right?
But when you're present now, do

357
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:30,600
you think about the before?
No, like right now.

358
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,280
See, there you go.
I mean, unless I stop and then I

359
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,280
go.
How did I get here?

360
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,640
That's what it is.
And then I'll say, oh, where I

361
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,280
am right now used to be
greenhouse and then, you know,

362
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,840
we had this garage and then we
had, and this was a studio and

363
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,120
then it was apartment bedroom.
So I mean, that's my boom, boom,

364
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:55,480
boom, boom.
And that's just, that's 20 years

365
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,160
of what happened.
Well, that's kind of the deal to

366
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,440
say if you're hungry and you go
out or you're at home and you

367
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,040
have hot dogs and eggs and you
say, well, I remember the time.

368
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,960
That I ate hot dogs and eggs.
I don't like hot dogs and eggs.

369
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,680
Eggs.
So you're still being present,

370
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,120
but with the historical kind of
way of remembering.

371
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:19,840
Yeah, yeah, don't like is really
the softest way that you can put

372
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:25,560
that the worst abomination on
the face of the Earth.

373
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,320
Well, I think there was soap in
the pan when we made them.

374
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,360
Yeah, so it was soap, hot dogs
and eggs and we had that.

375
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:34,600
And I tell you, I have never, I
couldn't get the taste out of my

376
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,720
mouth.
I ate, I think I, I think I ate

377
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,800
some of your shoes poop or
something to try to get it wet

378
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,520
to clean my mouth out.
And it was nothing that was

379
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,520
punching enough.
I was eating hot Peppers and

380
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,320
everything and it was just like.
I tried drinking water and I

381
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,880
remember my stomach just it did
not feel good.

382
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,520
It felt like a bubble bath in
your stomach.

383
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,360
Yeah.
Oh yeah.

384
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,880
It felt like you ate.
Soap that what that?

385
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,680
Probably was it was really the
the exterior soap in the pan.

386
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,120
Because I think the ingredient
that.

387
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,080
That was my fault.
I think I loved the soap in the

388
00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:06,880
pan.
That's good.

389
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,840
Wow.
Since then, I've tried.

390
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:09,760
Yeah.
It's so funny.

391
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,600
Since that time about 3 years
ago, you think?

392
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,360
Yeah.
Was that pandemic?

393
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,120
No, I don't think it was.
No, it's after.

394
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,680
It was absolutely much after
'cause it we got.

395
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,840
It from like a Lebanese
storefront, which I don't even

396
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,440
know if it's still there.
It's Bon Chipotle.

397
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,400
Oh, we got the sausage.
You remember that?

398
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,600
Yeah, but that's the Lebanese
links, and they were sitting in

399
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,200
there forever.
And it's like, oh, let's.

400
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,600
They might have been really bad
too.

401
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,320
They're kind of like sausages
and it's like, well, let's have

402
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,480
sausage and eggs.
And that's what I was thinking

403
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,320
of more.
Well, they were canned too,

404
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,640
right?
I don't know no I could with a

405
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,760
canned or then a jar.
Maybe they were in a VAC seal.

406
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,640
They might have been in the VAC.
Seal that's right.

407
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,080
They were all VAC sealed up and
they were they that's probably

408
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,720
they were only a couple months
old and they were not green.

409
00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:56,560
No, they were not green, but vac
seal to a lot of people.

410
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,560
Somebody told me the other day I
defrosted a steak and the the I

411
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,320
defrosted and they're like, we
can just throw it back in the

412
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,440
freezer.
And I'm like, I don't know if

413
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,760
you can, but it's in a vac seal.
I'm like, I don't know if you

414
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,160
can do that.
No, I don't think it's, I mean

415
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,840
juices, once the juices thawed,
but you're going to lose a lot

416
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,800
of whatever it was that made it
a piece of meat.

417
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,840
Well, I think it's going to
taste old, right?

418
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:19,760
Yeah.
It is.

419
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000
I'm conscious that it'll make
me.

420
00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:23,680
I've not tried.
That I want to eat it.

421
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,640
I've not tried refreezing the
meat, thawed it, freezing it,

422
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,080
and then thawed it again and
eating it.

423
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:31,800
We should try that.
We should give that a shot.

424
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,880
Usually what we do is when we
see that we actually cook it and

425
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,800
then we refreeze it.
And that's like you can do that.

426
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,800
I think you can.
That's what that's what we do.

427
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,320
We have chicken that's been in
the refrigerator for three days

428
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,320
and now it's got to be eat it or
lose it, you know, and I'm not

429
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,560
really hungry and neither she
but I'm going to cook it and

430
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,480
probably I'm trying to be
conscious about how I'm going to

431
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,280
cook it.
You know, I haven't been hungry

432
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,000
lately.
I haven't really been hungry

433
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,280
lately at all.
No, Oh my God, you're eating

434
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,200
those sandwiches from that shop
that are they're they're bigger

435
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,200
than your head.
Why?

436
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,440
Fast till noon and then I'll eat
that sandwich, yeah, at around

437
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:13,720
12:30, 12/20 and then that's it,
That's all I'll do for the day.

438
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:21,440
OK, so today same thing.
I got up at 8:15, I had 3 cups

439
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:28,400
of coffee and then I had 2
glasses of water.

440
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,920
And then the next time I do you.
Drink water in the morning?

441
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,920
Really.
Yeah, yeah, I always try to get

442
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:34,440
a glass.
I always.

443
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:35,840
Don't do that.
I need to do that.

444
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,160
And then I went to.
That was at 8:15.

445
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,520
We had the pool guys here,
they're doing all sorts of

446
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,600
stuff.
We're finally, it finally almost

447
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:45,560
opened.
The water's in it.

448
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,040
It's all done.
But it needs to chemicalize for

449
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,360
like 5 days and I've got to
brush it every day for the next

450
00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:55,640
5 days.
Anyway, I went to lunch at

451
00:23:55,640 --> 00:24:03,680
around 12:30 at the Matchbox,
and so I got served by one by

452
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,000
1:00.
I ate and I would say chicken

453
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,960
sandwich.
The chicken sandwich there's

454
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,000
really good.
Crispy chicken sandwich, Really

455
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,080
really good and I tried the
onion straws.

456
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,600
Have you ever tried those?
Was it on top of it or is it?

457
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,840
No, I just, they just made a
plate of them and I was like,

458
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,360
holy crap, you know, and I ate a
bunch of those because I'm an

459
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:24,000
onion guy and I'm working on my
prostate, you know, whatever.

460
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:32,000
Anyway, I came home, I messed
around here, did some stuff,

461
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:37,360
then I took a nap.
Then I got up and now it is 638.

462
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,640
I have not eaten anything since
then.

463
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,240
I had the one meal.
No, I had two chips.

464
00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:47,280
Your mother had I when I went to
the store after I went there, I

465
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,640
got some stuff and I brought it
home, put it, put it all the

466
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,840
way.
She opened up the chips and she

467
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:59,800
was eating some chips.
So and I will probably maybe eat

468
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:04,160
a sandwich later maybe, but I
don't right now.

469
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:04,800
I don't.
I don't.

470
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:10,600
I'm not I I'm feeling that the
best way for me to feel good and

471
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,320
healthy about myself is to wait
until I can hear my stomach

472
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,040
growl before I eat.
That's what I started doing as

473
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,360
well in.
Actual it's a hard thing to do

474
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,920
because because a lot of times
you just do it because you're

475
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,560
bored and that's when everybody
else is doing it.

476
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,520
Or it's a reward system.
When you do something, you

477
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,280
accomplish something of the day
and you say, OK, now I can feed

478
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:30,600
myself.
Ice cream.

479
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,920
But in reality, you just ate.
Yeah, yeah.

480
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,440
See consciousness of it.
Are we conscious of that?

481
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,800
You like my new recliner?
Yeah.

482
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,520
Is that your recliner?
Yeah, look at this.

483
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,920
Ready.
Wow.

484
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,760
You like that?
Yeah.

485
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:48,960
Yeah.
You're further away.

486
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,680
I can't hear you.
It's kind of like a children's

487
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:51,920
recliner.
I didn't realize that on

488
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,440
Facebook Marketplace so I have
to sit low in it so.

489
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:55,920
But you have a good chair.
Towards my neck.

490
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,320
Oh, it's great.
I can sit in here for hours.

491
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,600
Really.
Yeah, but it's smaller and it

492
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,760
doesn't lock either.
It doesn't, you know, like how a

493
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,000
recliner locks.
Yeah, doesn't lock.

494
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,480
So I need to get like a Cotter
pin or something so it actually

495
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,880
locks the the thing out.
So it's like.

496
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,240
Yeah, that's see like look at
that like like here and then.

497
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,320
Yeah.
Oh wait, that kind of locks that

498
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,360
kind of in back.
But then it it'll that that.

499
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:20,880
It doesn't have anything on the
side.

500
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,440
No, not at all.
Not a pull or anything like

501
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:24,440
that, Nope.
Oh wow.

502
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,760
It leans back in the It's kind
of like an airplane chair, if

503
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,160
you think about it.
Which is how I hate airplane

504
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,280
chairs.
Me as well.

505
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,640
Well, not an airplane chair.
Like a comfortable like an

506
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:33,920
actual comfortable 1A
comfortable.

507
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,800
I don't understand why they
decided they made a conscious

508
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:39,560
effort to make the worst chair
possible.

509
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,840
You know the now they have the
ones that.

510
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,120
Southwest has probably by far
the shittiest those choppy

511
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:47,360
little things they have.
Spirit is really bad.

512
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,120
OK, I haven't, I haven't done
spirit in 15 years.

513
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,120
Well, it's just as bad as you
remember, I'm sure.

514
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,920
Yeah, yeah, I, I hate the
airlines.

515
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,200
I'm just going to say it.
I hate them all.

516
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,800
And we need a new form of
transportation.

517
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,480
And I don't know what that's
going to be, but it's going to

518
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,080
be something.
We got to get I, I see.

519
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,560
See.
For me, I would just eliminate

520
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,280
all the security.
Yeah.

521
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,240
That to me is like the biggest
pain in the ass.

522
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,200
And it's just, you know, I would
rather, I would rather fly on

523
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:18,320
what?
It's probably making the

524
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,320
government money 'cause they all
have like contracts with the

525
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,720
government, right?
So like at the same time some

526
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:29,600
guy somewhere owns that company
who owns all those stupid

527
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,280
sensors that goes in there
'cause you're.

528
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:32,600
You mean the ones that get sold
to them?

529
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,200
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My brother used to.

530
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:40,720
EIDOS made the lead scanners,
the human scanners that go in

531
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,400
that.
Hey, don't worry, it's not going

532
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,000
to do anything.
Oh, don't put your little kid in

533
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,000
there.
Exactly what?

534
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,400
What do you mean?
I told the story, I think

535
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,120
episode like 85 or something,
there was a kid in front of me

536
00:27:54,360 --> 00:27:56,760
that was going to go through it
and the, the security of the TSA

537
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,440
agent was like, Nah, you should
go through the metal detector.

538
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,280
I'm like, what do you mean he
why can't I go through the metal

539
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,680
detector?
I think you can do an active

540
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,040
resistance or something.
You could say I, I choose not to

541
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,320
do that.
But then do you really want to

542
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,600
be that difficult guy that's
going to mess up the line that's

543
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:12,800
going to.
Not even.

544
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,440
I mean, there's that, but
there's also nowadays with the

545
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,760
new weird, you know, Third Reich
in charge, that they're more apt

546
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:25,640
to come after you.
And, and it doesn't seem as

547
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,600
though the rule of law really
matters.

548
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,480
You know, they'll, they're,
they'll arrest you if you're not

549
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,840
a, if you're a citizen, they'll,
they'll do whatever the hell

550
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,880
they want to do, which you know,
it's just not.

551
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,800
I just don't want to do anything
above or abnormal in an area.

552
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,680
You don't want to stand out, you
really don't want to stand out

553
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,280
from the crowd because you're
going to be travelling

554
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,160
internationally.
Well I have global entry as

555
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,640
well.
I don't want that to get messed

556
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,280
up like that is one thing.
You're just gone.

557
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,640
No.
I lost global entry and I think.

558
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,880
We shouldn't even do be doing
this podcast anymore.

559
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,440
I think that I lost it because I
and you know what I think?

560
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,120
Well, there's a Phil Brown in
Florida.

561
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,720
I thought that was all messed up
or something.

562
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,400
No, that's the guy that took my
points account at my whatever

563
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,040
place the and not the guy that
stole the computer.

564
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:15,480
It would be the the reason I
think it is, is because I was

565
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,200
buying Cuban cigars and I bought
them online through Switzerland.

566
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,960
And they sent them to me here.
And they got stopped at the

567
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,880
border.
And then they said this is

568
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,800
illegal contraband or something.
And that's health.

569
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:34,040
That's whatever the hell it is,
the same as the airports, you

570
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,080
know, customs.
And so customsense reports me

571
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,640
for receiving, you know, illegal
stuff.

572
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:41,840
And I was like, oh, OK,
whatever.

573
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,080
Yeah, I don't.
They just sent me a notice that

574
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,600
said if you have any issue with
us confiscating this, you should

575
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,080
please come here and fight us
for it.

576
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,040
And I was like, ah, forget it,
fuck it, I'll just let it go.

577
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,360
And I did.
And then they sent me another

578
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,640
box of cigars separately from a
different place, and it was the

579
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,560
same ones.
And it just wasn't worth the

580
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,200
hassle.
And then so I went to, I lost my

581
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,600
Global Entry shortly thereafter.
And I didn't, I never drew a

582
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,600
line between the two because
they, because they for years,

583
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,320
they were always talking about
my criminal trespass when in in

584
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:20,560
1996 or 95, I ran onto a ball
field in Baltimore.

585
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,120
Were you conscious during that
period?

586
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:27,520
It barely we we have had we have
consumed quite a bit and but I

587
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,680
didn't get charged with drunk in
public and nothing like that.

588
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:35,320
I was with myself and another
and a Co worker and we slid into

589
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,560
he slid into first place.
I slid into second base.

590
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,680
I slid into third base, but I
ran on the you know, and it was

591
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,600
it was the tarp was out.
It was a rain delay.

592
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,280
I'd never interfere with a game.
That's stupid.

593
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,960
But we got arrested and all this
kind of stuff, and I never, and

594
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:53,920
it was, and it was a sponge and
I wasn't, I was charged.

595
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,200
But then they said the record
was expunged.

596
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,200
And then when I filled out my
Global Entry, I didn't put it in

597
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,040
there.
And they were like, oh, you were

598
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,560
arrested.
I was like, well, you didn't say

599
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:04,800
arrested.
You said convicted.

600
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,200
And they're like, yeah, we men
arrested.

601
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,080
I was like, whatever.
You know, they changed the form

602
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,040
through the years because they
started realizing that a lot of

603
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,200
us were arrested and nothing
happened.

604
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:20,720
Well, there's a thing too, that
I'm just not putting it on there

605
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,840
that they'll, well, it's weird
too, 'cause what I learned the

606
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,560
other year is if something's
expunged, that doesn't mean that

607
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,000
they can't see.
It they can see everything

608
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,720
because once it goes in the
record, it's in there

609
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,080
permanently.
It never gets removed.

610
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,440
Whatever people tell you.
It may be for common employers

611
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,720
or something like that.
But if you do a background

612
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,560
check, I mean, I don't know if
you do a background check on me,

613
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,760
would you find that out?
I mean, Thompson, when they

614
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,080
bought us, they did a background
check on me and I told.

615
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,400
Them that, I said.
I've been arrested, you know, it

616
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,200
was a, it was a 45 times.
Yeah, I've been arrested quite a

617
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,760
few times, but there were only a
few that showed up. 45 or 50?

618
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,640
No, most of them were, like most
of them were when I was a, when

619
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,120
I was a kid, you know?
No, I'm saying 45 or 50 times.

620
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:08,560
First time I got arrested was 8
or 9, you know, So yeah, yeah,

621
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,640
yeah.
That was not, I mean, that was

622
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,880
the whole, the whole going to
court, you know, when I was 9 or

623
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,800
10 years old.
Were you conscious when?

624
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,560
Yeah, I'm very conscious.
I remember the parents saying

625
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,560
that if you say the right thing,
you'll get ice cream afterward.

626
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,400
But that was when they were
getting divorced that you

627
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:25,440
weren't.
Arrested.

628
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,480
No, no, no.
That was a different time that

629
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,120
that that was when I was, I was
being charged with being

630
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,160
incorrigible and they were
trying to remove me from the

631
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:39,440
household and so I went.
To social services or whatever.

632
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,160
Yeah.
And they were like, hey, hey,

633
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,680
well, all a lot of neighbors
that got together and were

634
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,280
ganging up on US and, and they
all.

635
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:51,000
Signed Not to be defensive, but
the family life seemed a little

636
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,560
a little rough.
It was, it was, yeah, yeah,

637
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:59,800
there was, there was like, you
know, there was 0 intervention

638
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,960
to things that you would do
wrong or right, didn't matter,

639
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,600
which is almost.
Worse than the actual

640
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,840
intervention itself?
I don't know.

641
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:13,720
Yeah, the intervention came at
the end and after always, you

642
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,600
know, like when we were the
intervention came when we got

643
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:23,560
picked up at the jail or I mean.
Well, how do you prevent a a

644
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,000
child from doing a crime?
Because they're not mind

645
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:26,800
readers.
I'm kind of.

646
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,040
Confused.
No, no, no, you don't.

647
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,280
You don't know.
The thing is, it's just how you

648
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:32,920
who you hang out with.
Oh, I see.

649
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,960
When you're you're accountable,
like, hey, it's noon, where are

650
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,600
you?
Where did you go today?

651
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,320
Having a simple conversation
with your kid on a daily basis.

652
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,400
Like what'd you do today?
Oh.

653
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,680
Oh, I don't know.
Hey, where'd you get all that

654
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,400
money?
What?

655
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,680
How'd you get?
Why do you have all those potato

656
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,160
chips?
You have 700 bags of potato

657
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,720
chips.
We bought them.

658
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,320
No, no, no, you didn't.
You're lying.

659
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,320
And then you and you come down
and I think you come down hard

660
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,080
early and often when they're
when they're real tiny and

661
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,320
they're real young and you got
to let them know that stealing

662
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,760
or taking or anything like that.
And it's just not.

663
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,440
And The thing is people, right?
But if you hang out with people

664
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,840
that that is acceptable, then
you know, you, you drift into

665
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,080
it.
It's the same thing.

666
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:25,040
I mean, you know, it's like it's
who you hang out with when you

667
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,679
think about.
Surround yourself, yeah.

668
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,239
Who you surround yourself with
is where you're going to be in

669
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,880
five years.
If you surround yourself with

670
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,120
drunks and drug addicts, you'll
be a drunk or drug addict in

671
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,440
five years.
If you surround yourself with

672
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,719
the the most excellent business
people in the world, you will

673
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,800
excel at business.
In five years.

674
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:46,199
If you surround yourself with
nice, wonderful people, you will

675
00:34:46,199 --> 00:34:48,639
be a nice, wonderful person.
And I think that that's, you

676
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,000
know, that's your consciousness
when you think about it.

677
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:54,400
You know, you start to look
around and you got to go.

678
00:34:54,679 --> 00:34:58,120
And I mean, it's hard to be
selective when you think about

679
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,040
people and what you want them to
be and what you want them to do

680
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,440
and your friends and all that
kind of stuff.

681
00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:05,840
And it's like, wow.
And I mean, me, I've

682
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:11,480
conscientiously at 65, retired,
gone back and they're friends in

683
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,960
my life that I slowly was
drifting apart from.

684
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:19,080
And I would and, and, and I
would say, OK, are you worth it?

685
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,840
And then I would answer my own
question and then I would make

686
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:23,960
it an effort.
And now I make.

687
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,000
I've been doing that more
recently a lot.

688
00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:31,440
And it's like I, I cannot, I
cannot spend time on people that

689
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:32,800
don't want to spend time with
me.

690
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:38,960
I cannot spend time on people
that just want to use me for

691
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,200
whatever they can get from me
for whatever.

692
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:46,000
And, you know, I, I, I will
spend immense amount of time for

693
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,120
people that I care about and
that care about me and that, you

694
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,920
know, I mean, the people I hang
out with now, I feel like if I

695
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,520
needed something, they would be
there.

696
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,600
And you know, I just.
But what about your LinkedIn

697
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,800
comments where you're trying to
rage bait people?

698
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,840
What about that time span?
That's my question, because I

699
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,800
keep seeing these things that
says, Phil Brown commented.

700
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,000
And then I, I already know what
it's going to say.

701
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:12,000
And then like it's somebody's
saying this.

702
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,120
Your mother's a whore.
Either securities information or

703
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,640
it's just general business
device.

704
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,760
It says you need to do B to B
business for this side or the

705
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,440
other and then in the comments
it's you saying Are you sure?

706
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:27,240
About that, Well, no, I mean
because people say really stupid

707
00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:28,360
stuff.
Oh yeah?

708
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,840
Well, you know when you
generated ads to AI?

709
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,880
When you see, when you see.
And no, I'm not commenting on

710
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,760
generated ads.
I'm commenting on what people

711
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,760
are saying.
And then I see somebody

712
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,920
generated from AI.
Somebody steals something from

713
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:46,080
somebody else and they post it
as fact and then they say see

714
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,760
what's happening in the world
today.

715
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,080
This person below look at this
story.

716
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,480
And then I, I go when I look at
the story and I find out the

717
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,560
story's just a total crock of
crap.

718
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,600
So then I come up and I said,
Hey, you should check your

719
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,240
facts.
And they're like, why are you

720
00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:01,960
talking me?
And it's like because you didn't

721
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,960
verify, you know?
Everybody that says they're

722
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,320
doing well, from what I've
learned is a liar.

723
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,560
That's kind of what I've learned
in this new digital age.

724
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,160
What?
Does that mean?

725
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,640
I exactly.
That's why they're a liar.

726
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,560
Because it's so.
I don't know.

727
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,600
It's all relative.
It's all relative.

728
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,280
I don't know what that means.
Doing well.

729
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,480
Are you happy or are you doing
because a lot of those that's.

730
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,680
The hardest thing?
A lot of those that are

731
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,800
successful do not say that they
are successful, which is I

732
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,840
think, but.
I mean, it's like success is

733
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:35,360
sort of control tiers.
They're tiers of things that you

734
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,280
get to, that you think about,
that you want.

735
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,400
And then when you get to a
certain like we all have

736
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,960
different plateaus of things.
Some people want to earn more,

737
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,280
Some people want to have more
relationships.

738
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,680
Have, you know, they want to bag
700 women or 700 men.

739
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,600
They want to, they want to own a
million houses.

740
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,680
I mean, they're everybody has
different things.

741
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:59,360
And you think to yourself, like
when you finish one or you get

742
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,560
to a certain level where you
feel comfortable, you'll you'll

743
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,080
always dabble in it.
Like I still dabble in security

744
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,440
stuff and I don't know if I'm
going to go back.

745
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,760
I'm trying to do this whole
Stanford thing I was telling you

746
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,680
about that I think would be
cool.

747
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,120
How's that going, by the way?
I'm I, I don't, I don't have

748
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,480
anything.
I got to send her a message.

749
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,000
I got I got to send a message.
And say you don't just get in

750
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,080
right.
It's like an apply.

751
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,440
I don't know I I applied, but I
kind of applied flippantly and

752
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:22,880
I'm not sure if that was a good
idea.

753
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,320
Well, that doesn't really work
at a what is it an Ivy League

754
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:29,280
school?
Hey, take me.

755
00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:33,640
I have so many.
I have so much distrust in

756
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,760
institutions ever since CBA.
Like I no longer respect any of

757
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,040
those institutions.
Especially since I listened to a

758
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,760
podcast I forgot what it was
called.

759
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,440
But it was.
About the beginnings of in vitro

760
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:50,600
and how at Yale, Yale, whatever
medical medical school at Yale,

761
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,800
they were doing this in vitro, I
think where they were removing

762
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,680
women's eggs, right?
And this is an especially

763
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,240
painful process.
And when the women would would

764
00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:02,600
request morphine, they would be
questioned at first to say, does

765
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,160
it really hurt that bad?
And then also the second thing

766
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,400
was they were cutting the
morphine with water because 86%

767
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,480
of the nurses were backdooring
the morphine.

768
00:39:11,720 --> 00:39:14,640
They were selling the morphine
out of the back door at such an

769
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,000
esteemed university such as
Yale.

770
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,120
And that's what makes me think
it says there are charlatans

771
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:21,520
everywhere.
There are snake oil people

772
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,880
everywhere.
Therefore, I'm just saying like,

773
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:24,520
why?
Why?

774
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,040
I don't know why we have such a
trust in these institutions when

775
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,920
the only people that told us to
trust those institutions or

776
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,000
those institutions themselves,
right?

777
00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:35,840
And the people that got out of
them, they did really well.

778
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,320
Exactly.
And and they, you know, it's

779
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,880
like if you've ever met a
Harvard grad, you'll know within

780
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,480
3 minutes.
That's I mean, that's the one

781
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,120
thing you they always tell you
where they're from like but and

782
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:47,960
they're very.
Proud.

783
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,640
We're cutting the morphine 50 to
75% with water.

784
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,280
When they were injecting these
women that were going through

785
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,560
the in vitro process where they
were getting their bags removed,

786
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,760
and I'm not sure if you're
familiar with the process, but

787
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,520
it's a needle piercing your
uterus.

788
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,200
And these women were requesting
one of those painful things in

789
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,280
the world, and they were
requesting morphine.

790
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,280
In fact, it was just water.
And they were being questioned

791
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,760
if they even needed it, because
theoretically they would notice

792
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,920
that it was just water and then
the nurses would get in trouble,

793
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,360
right?
It's very, it's very clear that

794
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:26,080
that doctors, men in general are
always discounting and nurses

795
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,280
even more are always discounting
women's pain.

796
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,240
If you know, I mean, it's, it's
strange.

797
00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:38,040
I, I am a little bit I, I'm
doing this knee thing, right.

798
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,600
I know I had the shoulder
surgery.

799
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:49,800
Give you an idea.
They gave me 2030 oxy, real Oxy.

800
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,800
They gave me a prescription for
30 of them for my shoulder.

801
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,720
Coda had actually Oxycontin.
Oxycontin.

802
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,560
Oh wow, that's actually.
Actually that's I mean that.

803
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:01,800
Was rare.
That's not.

804
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,520
I know it was rocket fuel, dude.
It was amazing.

805
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,000
Anyway, you know, and I mean,
when they gave me the script, I

806
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,400
looked at him and I said, well,
so are you going to give me

807
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:11,920
another one for after the
surgery?

808
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:20,000
And I'm like, shut up.
But my wife, she goes in, she

809
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,720
gets a knee replaced, which is
10 times as, I mean, so much

810
00:41:23,720 --> 00:41:25,400
more painful.
They slice it down the middle.

811
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,760
They put up this whole new thing
in there that's crazy huge.

812
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,600
And they give her like
hydrocortisone and they're

813
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,520
telling her and they give her,
you know, 1000 milligrams of

814
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,400
Tylenol.
And I'm like, what the so

815
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,880
bizarre.
They they give the old man and

816
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,320
she goes, well, they just happen
to know that all men are

817
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:49,400
pussies.
I, I don't know.

818
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,320
I don't know what the deal is.
We've never had to squeeze a

819
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,040
small basketball out of our
asshole.

820
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,120
So we don't know what real pain
is.

821
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,360
You know, I can imagine that,
you know, having a kid would

822
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:04,000
probably be the craziest
screaming pain because it's

823
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,960
coming out of your guts.
Yeah, I can't imagine that.

824
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,880
And and it's just like, Oh my
God, you know, and I remember

825
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:16,480
when she was having the kid you
that the nurse said exactly that

826
00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:20,680
it's supposed to hurt.
That's what she said.

827
00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:25,480
And I was just like, I can't
punch her because that would

828
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,920
cause trouble.
And my and Valerie just like

829
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,440
looked at me with this like
because they were asking, she

830
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,520
was asking for the EPI, give me
the EPI.

831
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,320
And it's like, which is the
epidural?

832
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,240
They give you an epidural so it
chills you.

833
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,680
It'll slow it down.
Well, I think what happens is

834
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,280
you can't really feel anything
or something.

835
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,560
Well, it.
Slows down the IT slows down the

836
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,640
childbirths because you can't
tell whether you're pushing or

837
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,680
not.
But The thing is, is it it does

838
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,440
and it doesn't.
It depends upon how much they

839
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,040
give you.
And there's, you know, and I'm

840
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,000
not a doctor, so I don't really
know what the hell I'm talking

841
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,880
about, but but I'll just pretend
I'm Joe Rogan and I know

842
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,640
everything so.
That's kind of what we do here,

843
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:00,840
anyway.
Yeah, that's what we do.

844
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,200
Yeah, that's what.
Podcast is all about lying.

845
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,040
That's.
What you.

846
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,360
Know Podcast is all about lying
and making things up.

847
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,080
Right, that's true.
Well, I.

848
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:10,760
That Yale podcast was real,
though.

849
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,200
I will say that that was a very
real.

850
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:13,960
Thing that was.
That was incredibly good.

851
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,440
We could I could probably find
the link for that.

852
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,920
I That was a really good series
because it really shows you that

853
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,800
the most trusted institutions in
America.

854
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,160
Really shouldn't.
Be that trusted, no.

855
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:31,640
Well, I think that you can find
mistakes and criminality in

856
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,680
every single institution.
I mean, it's like when you think

857
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:41,000
about remember the housing
crisis in 2008 when everybody

858
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:45,640
had real estate and they had
real estate holdings and say,

859
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,600
for instance, if I was a multi
millionaire millionaire and had

860
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:53,040
put my money with Goldman Sachs
or with Merrill Lynch, I think

861
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,480
Merrill Lynch's at the time
might have still been separate

862
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,520
or Citicorp if I had and their
investment, if they were

863
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:04,520
managing my money, what they did
is all of those credit default

864
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:10,680
swaps that crashed, they put
them in the portfolios of people

865
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:16,920
like me and we took they and
their their customers lost like

866
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:23,280
$500 million.
OK, So they got sued.

867
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,920
I mean, you would think this is
criminal, right?

868
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,440
Fraud.
You know, you, you signed a

869
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,640
statement that said, yeah, I can
manage your money, but I can't

870
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,840
put it in high risk things.
And somehow they put the highest

871
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:35,920
risk thing in the world in My
Portfolio.

872
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,200
You would think that's a very
clear violation.

873
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,360
That wouldn't be a big deal.
It took three years of

874
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,200
litigation.
They had a $265,000,000

875
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,280
settlement.
I mean, nobody went to jail.

876
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:51,040
So, and I think if the fact that
and that $265,000,000, all it

877
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,200
really does is it comes from
Goldman Sachs itself, which is

878
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,320
actually the shareholder.
So the shareholders are paying

879
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,360
for that risk, right?
So why wouldn't they do it

880
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,080
again?
If I had if, if I was holding on

881
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,160
to a bunch of shitty real estate
right now, I would try to stick

882
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,520
it in anybody's portfolio
because the downside is

883
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,840
basically they'll pay for it
anyway.

884
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:11,480
I won't.
Nothing don't happen to me.

885
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,120
I don't go to jail.
Nobody went to jail.

886
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,640
You think I'm like, there's no,
there's no, oh, you're going to

887
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,040
fire me?
Oh my God, I got a $30 million.

888
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,200
And you see stuff like that.
And then you look at the guy

889
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,280
that committed like the most
mortgage fraud ever when it was

890
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,000
like, it was like only $25
million worth of mortgage fraud.

891
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,640
And they're like, we caught the
biggest criminal of all time.

892
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,080
And I'm like, oh, so you
actually caught the people that

893
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:33,560
started Wells Fargo?
No way.

894
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:38,320
Oh yeah, we're in the. $323
million lawsuit and 99 because

895
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,960
they were giving a higher
interest rate mortgages to

896
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:42,360
minorities.
You remember that?

897
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,160
I forgot about that.
It's.

898
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,560
Crazy.
But they're not racist, those

899
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,200
people.
Yeah, but they're not racist.

900
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:49,160
Right?
But no.

901
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,080
See that?
Well, Silicon Bank was another

902
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,640
one that pissed me off to the
end because they were starting

903
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,040
to go under and we did.
One of our early ones was about

904
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,800
Silicon Bank going under and now
here's the interesting thing.

905
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,200
Silicon Bank has a whole lot of
non performing loans.

906
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,440
It's anybody looking at the
financial statements can see

907
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:08,960
that they're going to go
underwater.

908
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:14,280
What they had done is they had
bought long term bonds at 2% and

909
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,360
then the market started rising.
And when the market's rising,

910
00:46:17,720 --> 00:46:22,120
they, they could not the 2%
money, they, they couldn't pay

911
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,840
the interest rates that they
were giving the money out and,

912
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:28,480
and it, and it was a squeeze and
everything was worthless.

913
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:32,080
You know, cuz if you have a, if
I have a 2% bond and the market

914
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:37,320
goes to 3 or 4, instead of being
worth $1000, it's now worth 800

915
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:42,560
or 700 because nobody wants a 2%
bond when the market's for, they

916
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,040
want a 4%.
So you have to make it up on the

917
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:49,800
principal usually, right?
So when you're selling it in the

918
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,640
market, it's only worth 700.
It used to be worth 1000.

919
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,040
So now you're and you're
watching all of your principal

920
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:57,240
go away.
And when your principal goes

921
00:46:57,240 --> 00:47:00,200
away, the interest is less.
I mean, it's just like it's a

922
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:04,640
spiraling thing.
Well, anyway, the people that

923
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:10,280
have oversight in the financial
marketplace are the Fed, OK, You

924
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,120
know, the Federal Reserve,
everybody's heard of this.

925
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:18,720
Did you know that the president
of that bank was the head of the

926
00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:24,480
San Francisco Federal Reserve?
And you're like, so you have

927
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,720
somebody who's supposed to be
the most savviest financial guy,

928
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:34,720
you know, 1 of 12 in the
country, and he's doing the

929
00:47:34,720 --> 00:47:38,320
stupidest shit you've ever seen.
This is the same thing I heard

930
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,400
when I had this, when you saw
the SNL bosses that they're all

931
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:45,000
the NBA guys in the late 80s.
Remember, junk bonds, people,

932
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,880
you know, the savings and loans
crisis that happened in 8586,

933
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:54,320
whatever under Reagan or right
after Reagan was, it was due to

934
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,760
a bunch of financial guys
saying, hey, we're going to loan

935
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:06,560
the money to people at you're
earning 5%, but we're buying

936
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,040
these bonds, we're investing the
bonds in the junk.

937
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,000
So we're for 12%.
And it's like, well, you know,

938
00:48:13,720 --> 00:48:18,800
any first year finance guy knows
that the more reward is the more

939
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,160
risk.
And then some of those start and

940
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,640
1 defaults and your bank's gone.
And so there was, there was a

941
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,560
bunch of savings and loans that
crashed and the government had

942
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:32,200
to step in.
And all these people are in

943
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:37,600
theory, they were MBAs and
doctorates of finance at banks

944
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,840
and they were the heads of banks
and they invested in this.

945
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:44,520
And you're like, dude, I don't
have an MBA and I don't have a

946
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:48,360
doctorate.
You're a dumb ass, OK?

947
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,560
And it's just like, well, we
took, we managed the risk.

948
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,360
And it's like, no, you didn't.
The government managed the risk

949
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,760
like always, and they actually
put people in jail then, so that

950
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,640
was kind of cool.
That makes me really happy

951
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,280
because nobody seems to be
getting put in jail anymore, and

952
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,800
I think we need more jail for
those that are breaking.

953
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,600
I would, yeah.
Ethical codes that.

954
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:10,960
Are what we usually do but I got
to say the the problem with the

955
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,840
industry, the financial industry
is we're taking away

956
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:15,440
enforcement.
We're taking away all these

957
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,440
different people that actually
put people in jail and we're

958
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,600
really really really, really
good at looking at the bottom

959
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:27,720
feeding people that stole $12.00
from McDonald's or robbed up

960
00:49:27,720 --> 00:49:31,400
$100 from a Burger King, but
we're not touching a guy that's

961
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:35,200
stealing $500 million from
everybody's pension fund.

962
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:39,240
I think that that needs to we
really need to focus on more

963
00:49:39,240 --> 00:49:46,440
whales because the people at the
very near the top are fraud is

964
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:51,160
OK and it seems to be that we
really need to send a message

965
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,200
because we have we have
cryptocurrency coming out.

966
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,600
So fraud to me and we and we
just, they just pardon a guy

967
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,960
that had 2.8 billion he stole.
They just pardoned him.

968
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:07,160
So it wasn't like 6 months.
No, no fried Fried's still in.

969
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:08,560
He'll probably get a pardon if
he has.

970
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:12,320
If his mom has enough money to
donate to the local

971
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,120
administration, he will.
He will get a good he'll get.

972
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,720
He might be zapped though, I
don't know.

973
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,400
They took everything.
From what I understand, they

974
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,720
took they.
Try, but you remember if you

975
00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:25,400
came after somebody.
Swiss banks what?

976
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,920
No, no, crypto in itself is non
traceable right?

977
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,560
Oh yeah, yeah, I.
Mean when you put, when you put,

978
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:34,000
Oh my God, they're closing in.
I'm going to take 100 million,

979
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:39,000
put it in the ABC lock box and
just throw it out and just have

980
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,320
the code somewhere and safety
deposit box somewhere and deny

981
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:43,640
that it ever existed.
It's a.

982
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:45,480
Fairpoint.
You know, in 20 years from now

983
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,160
when I'm out, I'll have $100
million.

984
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,440
It may not be worth anything.
It may be worth a lot more.

985
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,480
Who knows?
I'll go see.

986
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,480
It could be something.
Historically, it'll be worth a

987
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:54,680
lot more.
Right.

988
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,560
You would think so, unless it's
like Confederate currency.

989
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,120
You know, the losers.
Yeah, it's worth.

990
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,000
Nothing.
All right, on that note, thank
