Episode 129: Location Services
We talk about how apps track you.
1
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,520
Welcome back to another episode
of Record My Father.
2
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,080
Today we're going to be talking
about apps tracking you.
3
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,680
What's tracking you?
When are you being tracked?
4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,640
Pretty much all the time.
From what I understand, every
5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,440
time I go on an app, it says, do
you want to allow location
6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,040
services?
I say no every time, but then
7
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,320
chances are doesn't really work
that well, you know?
8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,000
Right, You have a you have a
phone, you get up in the
9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,080
morning, you, you, you when you
sign into your phone with your
10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,160
code first time, it knows where
you are.
11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,560
And from that point forward, it
will track where that phone
12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,360
goes.
Provide it could be you, it may
13
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,640
not be you, but if it's your
phone, most likely it's you.
14
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,880
And then you'll go and you'll
get in your car and then you'll
15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,360
drive somewhere.
And if you have one star, which
16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,080
is 1, and I know Tesla does it
and a lot of the newer models,
17
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,280
they track everything you do.
So they're tracking your
18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,360
vehicle, your speed, all the
different things that you do.
19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,200
And they share that with people
if they're required to.
20
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,840
Like you never think about this.
But if I get in an accident and
21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,000
I'm speeding and you say, no,
he's not speeding, you subpoena
22
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,480
the the tracking records of the
vehicle that you were driving
23
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,360
and you can come back, you know,
and, and that then you'll see
24
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,440
whether or not he was going over
the speed limit, which if you're
25
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,840
speeding, your fault, right?
Allstate tried to do that to me
26
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,480
months ago.
They were saying, oh, do you
27
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:28,960
want to put that thing in your
car?
28
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:31,240
And I said no.
I said no, I don't want to do
29
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,600
that.
We'll give you a discount.
30
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,920
No, you won't.
No, you, yeah, you'll just hike
31
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:35,840
it up.
That's all.
32
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,320
That happens every single time
with that.
33
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:39,160
I know.
It's crazy.
34
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,720
But you think about like
Facebook, like all the different
35
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,680
when you, when you go into
Facebook, it's like I've got a,
36
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,600
a book of information that
Facebook collects about me.
37
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,520
And I mean all the pictures, all
my birthday, all, everybody I
38
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,560
connect to, what I say, what is
the, who I connect with, how I
39
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,400
connect with them, what is my,
my, my whole being.
40
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,400
LinkedIn has my whole
professional career back for 25
41
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,840
years, 30 years, 40 years and
everybody else's.
42
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,160
And it knows all the people I'm
connected with.
43
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,560
It knows everything that I speak
about and what I talk about and
44
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,680
how I put it online.
Instagram, if you post on
45
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,000
Instagram, they track every
single thing.
46
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,480
Messenger, which is a, the
Facebook Messenger.
47
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,680
They, they're really big on
that.
48
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,760
That's the reason I never put
the messenger on my phone.
49
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:32,680
Threads.
It's interesting when you look
50
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:38,880
at threads, the, the Meta app
shares 68% of collected data
51
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,480
with third parties.
So they're selling all that
52
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:48,160
stuff, Snapchat, TikTok X
WhatsApp, you know, when you do
53
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:53,440
the international phone calls
now, I don't know what they do.
54
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,400
Do they collect your voice?
Wouldn't shock me, you know?
55
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,000
It's all the AI wouldn't.
Shock me.
56
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,800
I mean, you know when you're
sitting there and you have your
57
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,160
phone next to you and we have a
conversation and we start
58
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,040
talking about baby diapers that
all of a sudden if you look on
59
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,920
Facebook, you'll see discounts
for the baby diapers.
60
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,960
Isn't that funny?
We didn't exercise in high
61
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:20,160
school during history class
where we basically said Nike as
62
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,840
many times as we could in the
course of I think of 5 or 10
63
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,280
minutes, and then everybody in
the class had Nike ads on their
64
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,440
phone.
I think that that was pretty
65
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,600
wild.
Yeah.
66
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,600
And so you weren't, you didn't
type it into anything.
67
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,920
You didn't do anything.
You just had a conversation
68
00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:36,200
while you had the phone there.
So that's tracking you.
69
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,160
Think about maps, where you've
been, Google Maps, where you
70
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:46,080
want to go, all that stuff,
YouTube, Google itself, every
71
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,120
single search you've ever done,
you know all the porn sites
72
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,520
you've been to, they know and
they know for how long.
73
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,920
So they know how how viral you
are and how often you're viral.
74
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,440
They do.
And I think the weird thing is,
75
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,480
is I never thought about this,
but PayPal, your financial
76
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,480
details, who you pay, your
browsing history, your contacts,
77
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,760
your device ID, Amazon, you
Amazon, all the stuff you do on
78
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,200
Amazon, all that stuff you buy,
you think about, I go to giant
79
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,200
and safe and I just go to
Safeway and they had those codes
80
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,280
that you put in to get a 5% or
7% off discount, right?
81
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,280
That tracks every single thing
you buy.
82
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,840
So you know, and as a marketer,
it's great because you think
83
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:35,400
about it.
I can, I know how long between
84
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,320
your your buys of toothpaste
are.
85
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,360
And I know when you're going to
buy toothpaste again pretty much
86
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,480
because you're going to use at
about the same rate.
87
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,480
So I know when to give you
discount coupons for a different
88
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,760
brand of toothpaste.
And you know what else I know
89
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,720
how to do?
I know your friends that use
90
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,040
that use my toothpaste and I
will send them a coupon if they
91
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,520
can get one of their friends to
use my toothpaste.
92
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,280
And that would be you.
And see, they triangulate that
93
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:03,680
way.
So you think about the way
94
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,800
marketing works, and it's like,
whoa.
95
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,480
So you, you, you know, the whole
idea of this free choice is
96
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,360
like, whoa, you know, the other
day said.
97
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,520
Capitalism is an illusion of
choices, and I thought that was
98
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,040
pretty interesting.
It's.
99
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,600
It's not a it seems.
Like it's becoming more and more
100
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,160
of an illusion every day.
Yeah, I mean, I, I, I, I now
101
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,440
like I'm, I'm a ranter on
Facebook and I go to sites and
102
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,600
just poke people and stuff like
that.
103
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:36,840
And I guess you're trolling and,
but Facebook in particular, it's
104
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:40,320
always been, you know, my
narcissistic release.
105
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,600
And you know, you post all the
different great things you're
106
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,480
doing because you're having a
wonderful life and nobody else
107
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:45,760
is having a good life as good as
yours.
108
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,800
So you post all the pictures on
there and you show all the
109
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,160
different things that you do and
all the different places you go.
110
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,000
And then every single one of
those they take and then they
111
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,320
sell them to other people who
then come after you and say,
112
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,080
hey, want to go to Spain?
Hey, want to go to Portugal?
113
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,440
Hey, want to go to Istanbul?
Hey, want to go, you know, and
114
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,880
of course all of these things
that I'm saying right now are
115
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,680
I'm staying in proximity of my
phone.
116
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,880
So I will see advertisements for
travel at the end of this, I'm
117
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:10,880
sure.
How do you?
118
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,320
Feel about your information
being sold.
119
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,400
Do you feel like that you
deserve to be paid for that?
120
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,520
I, I, I think so.
And I think Facebook is going to
121
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,520
get at some point where people
are going to, I mean, I'm kind
122
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,280
of at that point now.
I'm and I'm, I'm, you know, my
123
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:33,080
narcissism is, is going back and
forth with my, my need to not be
124
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:38,200
so angry at when, when you look
at that, it's like they give me
125
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:43,680
things that make me react and I
feel like a puppy, you know?
126
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,880
It's like they wanted 2016,
yeah.
127
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,840
You know, but it's, it's, it's,
it's really, I think it's really
128
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:54,840
amplified now.
I, I used to see and, and say 10
129
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:59,360
posts, I would see five friends.
And in the beginning I would see
130
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:04,680
nine friends.
Now I see like 1, maybe 2
131
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,760
friends on and 9 posts, 10
posts.
132
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,000
So it's really, they've really
jacked it up.
133
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,880
And all the other 9 posts are
things that you know, will trip
134
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,440
me off about a, you know, about
the political situation, about
135
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:22,040
the economy, the things that
they know that bother me.
136
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,360
And it's.
Funny that you mention that
137
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,640
because I took about a a week
off of Instagram here and I
138
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,520
deleted those apps, Facebook and
Instagram off my phone.
139
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,800
So I I just have Instagram and
Facebook on my computer now,
140
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:34,760
right?
Yeah.
141
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,320
The reason why I did that was
because I was vicariously living
142
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,280
through other people.
I wasn't living my own life.
143
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,360
And I think that that's really
frustrating.
144
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,160
And then you compare yourself as
well to other people and you
145
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,560
say, well, they're doing better
in their career.
146
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,680
Oh, gosh, what am I doing?
These things in my life are
147
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,240
taking too long.
This, that or the other.
148
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,640
And I can see gosh, on the youth
these days.
149
00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:01,920
I can't imagine feeling as if I
was not as good as my other if I
150
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,640
was in middle school or high
school.
151
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,440
That would be so frustrating
because you're already comparing
152
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,600
yourself at those ages to other
people.
153
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,760
But if it's just blanketed in
your face all the time, like
154
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,280
there was this thing going
around a while ago where it's
155
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,680
like, why are all these people
going on vacation when they're
156
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,760
2524 years old?
How could they afford this?
157
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,360
It makes no sense.
And it's like, well, their
158
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,800
parents, I mean, I mean, that's
what it is.
159
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,160
Their parents are are well off
or well to do, and a lot of
160
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,880
people forget that, that it's
not the the possession of their
161
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,600
own lives over their own domain,
but The Who, where they're from
162
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,360
and who their parents are,
right?
163
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,400
Where they happen to be warm,
you know, luck of the draw.
164
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,840
Well, that was like the Kylie
Jenner self-made first self-made
165
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,000
woman billionaire.
And I thought that that was
166
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,320
rather funny that her whole
family had no impression on her
167
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,520
life whatsoever.
She made her own billion
168
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,600
dollars.
And I'm like that's and I just
169
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,520
don't, well, you.
See it?
170
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,480
I mean, you're, you're in the
industry.
171
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,960
You see, you see it out there
where when you start to bump
172
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,960
into people and you see actors
and you start to see that, oh,
173
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:07,240
father was an actor.
Like, who is it?
174
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,800
Ben Stiller is Stiller and
Mirror was parents, so they're
175
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,200
heavily into, you know, and then
there's cousins and uncles and
176
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,160
relatives and, you know,
everybody's George.
177
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,160
Clooney's mother, you know.
Yeah, Singer.
178
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,600
Singer Yeah.
I mean, that's how you get in,
179
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,640
is you.
It's who you know. 100%.
180
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,520
You know they well, that's.
Also why people are bankers as
181
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,360
well.
Or I mean, if I wanted to, if I
182
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,440
could have done things
differently, I don't know if I
183
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,760
would have ever entered law.
But I mean, like, you were in
184
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,640
the law firm right field and
research information field, to
185
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,840
be specific, for 40 years.
And I mean, it would have been a
186
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,920
whole lot easier for me to go
into that field, I gotta tell
187
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:49,800
you that much.
Yeah.
188
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,360
Oh, yeah.
A recommendation from somebody
189
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,360
that has been doing it for 40
years.
190
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,400
And if, well, imagine your dad
was in that information or in
191
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,320
that field.
Tell you what to say when you
192
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,200
walk in the door to impress
them.
193
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,680
'Cause you ate lunch with some
guy one time and and that's
194
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,120
yeah.
Or you had a well, there's a
195
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,080
relationship.
There's back and forth because
196
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:16,360
I've cut up a bunch of people's
heads soft, so, you know, and
197
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,280
then they and they end up at
another, you know, at a firm.
198
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,040
And then my kid shows up and
they're like, Phil's good.
199
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,280
Yeah.
I think I'm going to kill this
200
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:30,280
guy, you know, figuratively,
Sir, not literally, but you,
201
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,840
you, you burn a path in the
ground.
202
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,960
And it can be a good one or it
can be a not a good one.
203
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,640
And the people that follow it
can they?
204
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,680
If they run into all the people
that love you, well, that's
205
00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:42,400
wonderful.
But they're going to run into
206
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,360
people that don't love you.
That's what I always worry about
207
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,480
when I make recommendations,
especially to like, what is it?
208
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,520
The big four, Big 5, If you go
to work for Thompson or go to
209
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:56,480
work for Relics or go to work
for Kluwer or go to work for
210
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:01,560
Bloomberg, I've had interactions
with hundreds of people at each
211
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:07,320
one of those organizations.
And by and large, most of them
212
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:12,600
are really good interactions.
But there are a few where I
213
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,240
disagreed with what people said
and I told them and that would
214
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,840
leave and they lost.
And when they lose, well, long
215
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,640
come you and I'm just living my
life to get even with Brown.
216
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,560
You know, I, I don't know if
people do that or not.
217
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:34,080
I don't, I don't have, like I
wouldn't, I wouldn't go after
218
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,880
someone's offspring that that
did me wrong.
219
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:45,480
You know, I, I don't, I can't, I
can't envision that or, or, or
220
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,640
their product was better than me
or they got budgeting and I
221
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,800
didn't.
I wouldn't, but I'm but I'm not
222
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,960
putting that past a lot of
people because I think a lot of
223
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:57,400
people would, you know, because
they would think you say you
224
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,280
have the same attributes and
you're just going to be a
225
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,040
loudmouth shit like me.
And they don't want that, you
226
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,680
know, so that that can be that
that can be, that can be very
227
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:08,480
detrimental.
Are we talking about?
228
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:13,680
To the, I feel like, I don't
know, narcissism is more
229
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:18,040
evocative than ever when this
kind of world and what I was
230
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,600
talking about in maybe a few
episodes ago, the Kali Yuga and
231
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,360
the the diminishment of moral
ethics and kind of this
232
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,200
understanding of humility is
just kind of disappearing.
233
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,320
Is what the fakery of it all,
too?
234
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,240
You know when you start to see
the fakery, you're like, whoa.
235
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,160
Well, if you asked me if I was
an old Western man from the
236
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,480
1800s, eighteen 90s, if snake
oil sales in the future, in 100
237
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,160
years, 200 years would exist, I
would tell you no.
238
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,360
I would say that snake oil is
going to go away, that it won't
239
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,440
ever be a thing anymore because
we will be able to figure out
240
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,440
those people and that they're
selling us lies.
241
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,600
But but in reality, it's it's
become the opposite and it's
242
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,440
snake oil is more common than
ever, I think in the world.
243
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:10,760
I think that people, maybe it's
our economic system and maybe
244
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,680
it's that, But at the same time
you look at famous communist
245
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:17,240
reigns and these have also time
and time again been full of
246
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,160
snake oil as well, right, 'cause
it's not really authentic
247
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,720
communism, it's more of somebody
that leads a communistic effort,
248
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,640
right?
It's not true communism.
249
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,720
Right.
You point you and it was as long
250
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,600
as you point to the people that
you can blame for your
251
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,680
shortcomings.
And that's what a lot of people
252
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:38,800
need because then they don't
have to do.
253
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,840
And, you know, reflection.
Yeah, you can.
254
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,880
You can sit back and say, oh, I
think the reason that I didn't
255
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,200
get to where I wanted to be in
business or I didn't get to
256
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,440
where I wanted to be in life, or
I never got to date the woman
257
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:57,280
was because they're all bitches.
Those guys are all Snooty Ivy
258
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,360
League people.
People are just out to get me is
259
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,240
and I've heard that a lot.
Well, that was your kind of
260
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,240
birth of the incel, right?
Right.
261
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,000
In the 20 tens, I think is when
we started hearing that term.
262
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,560
And now more than ever, it's
like we have a male loneliness
263
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:17,960
epidemic when in reality we have
two genders that don't want to
264
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,000
understand each other because
the propaganda that's put on
265
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,760
social media.
And I think that at the same
266
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,840
time, people look at themselves
and their social media profiles
267
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,240
in their lives and they say,
well, I'm too good for these
268
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,400
other people in this world.
I'm too, I deserve better.
269
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,880
And when there's a million and
one options compared to the 80s
270
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,640
or the 70s when you were really
just with your inner circle and
271
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,320
who you would see everyday.
Now your inner circle has
272
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,960
exploded into 1000 X and you
these random people that you see
273
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,360
on dating sites.
And then ever.
274
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,720
There's this ready access to 1
for adultery or for otherwise,
275
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,160
and I think that it's.
And then there's those with
276
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,440
completely different motives
that come in out of nowhere and
277
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,400
they're pods or bots.
You know, they talked about the
278
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,360
X the other day.
It's a week ago or two weeks
279
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,400
ago.
Where must turn on the location
280
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,000
of everybody replying, which I
thought like, wow, that would be
281
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,520
the coolest thing in the world.
If you saw everybody that posted
282
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,520
a meme, you wouldn't get their
name and the name's fine, but
283
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,240
you would pick like, you know,
country and province or state
284
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,280
just that.
And then and it turned out that
285
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:32,040
60% of the people that were
replying to a lot of the things
286
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:37,440
were from Russia and India, you
know, so 60% of the followers
287
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:42,040
that are saying what you want to
hear or don't want to hear and
288
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,920
remember, they're going to get
what, what the more people that
289
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:53,560
poke you and make you type
another line makes Meta, makes
290
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:58,080
Facebook, makes Instagram, makes
YouTube, make somebody money.
291
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:59,920
That's, that's it.
That's dead.
292
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:03,600
Internet theory and the idea
that the Internet is just
293
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,960
compiled of a bunch of people
that are bots and it's bots
294
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,600
talking to one another.
And I think that that is
295
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,000
extremely accurate and it's
actually proven.
296
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,520
There's a few of us in there.
But a theory it's it's.
297
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,400
True, yeah, the majority of the
things that are there and it and
298
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,360
it's, it's funny when you when I
talk to buddy of mine and we, we
299
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,440
go into Newsmax every so often
and post something derogatory
300
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,760
and that that we know will set
the people off and it gets me a
301
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:36,280
dozen responses like
immediately, you know, troll,
302
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:41,080
you know, you know, they, they
just come back with really
303
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,960
canned nasty responses and
you're just like, oh, you should
304
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,640
be dead.
I know done so much wrong stuff.
305
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,080
I should have been dead a long
time ago, you know, but it's,
306
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,600
it's, it's interesting on how
and, and that's what's shaping
307
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,480
us right now.
It's kind of and, and in a lot
308
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,560
of ways.
Are we going to get stronger and
309
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,800
realize that this is not the way
we want the future to be?
310
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:15,160
Do we want the future to be
where I can show you a perfect
311
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,400
pretty life online when in
reality it's not?
312
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:25,400
Or, you know, to 500 people of
which I know 8, you know, and
313
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:26,440
that's what I think about
LinkedIn.
314
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,240
I think I have like 500
followers or 1000 or something
315
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,920
like that a bunch.
You know, you're supposed to get
316
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,680
over 500, so it says 500 plus.
And that's what they tell you to
317
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,560
do.
So you, it looks like you're,
318
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,840
you know, one of those.
But you start to realize that I
319
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,960
don't, you know, I mean, I look
through them and I'm like, I
320
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,480
don't even know who these people
are and how I got connected to
321
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,280
them.
That's what happened to me when
322
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,760
I deleted the apps the other
day.
323
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,040
And I also did it because Denzel
Washington said something in an
324
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,560
interview the other day and sang
after Round Table and he said if
325
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,200
I was an actor coming up today,
I would ignore social media.
326
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,240
I wouldn't interact with it at
all.
327
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,160
I wouldn't put anything on there
but one that's extremely out of
328
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,960
touch, right, 'cause the way
that you establish yourself as
329
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,240
an actor is you meet a director
who's willing to put you in
330
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,640
things.
And really low level kind of
331
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,720
networking deals happen on
social media all the time.
332
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,480
I mean, artists meet other
artists and what have you.
333
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:21,440
Even larger companies such as
Adidas scout for creative
334
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,680
directors, scout for actors,
scout for other people on there.
335
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,720
But at the same time, what
people are missing is that you
336
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,760
need a skill in which you can
sell to people and which you
337
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,720
don't have yet.
So what he's kind of saying is
338
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,800
develop that skill to a point to
which it's actually sellable,
339
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,160
which is a great point, a
fantastic point.
340
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,920
But at the same time, you could
be the best actor in the world.
341
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,960
And if you can't sell your
skill, then you're not.
342
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:48,800
Nobody's gonna know you the best
actor in the world.
343
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,120
That's just what's going to
happen.
344
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:52,960
We ever seen anything about the
smartest people in the world and
345
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:55,880
usually like 20% of them are
homeless.
346
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,160
They're they're brilliant guys.
The guy that figured out, I
347
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,680
think the guy that figured out
string theory was 1 and that
348
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:08,360
they had AI saw some it it was a
meme and it shows them holding
349
00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:11,480
the book there.
And maybe this was just a slam
350
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:17,840
on higher education, who knows,
to get people to dislike and say
351
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,000
that it's not worth it because
that's a big, that's a big push.
352
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,440
You start to see that how people
talk about, yeah, you should be
353
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,480
an electrician and you should be
a tradesman.
354
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,840
You don't need to be that, you
know, and meanwhile, there's 4
355
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,160
billion people in line to be
electrician.
356
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:36,840
So get real, you know, so and
and it ain't easy and it ain't
357
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,760
easy to get apprenticeship and
it's not easy to work at it for
358
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:44,960
five or six or seven years
before you get anywhere and
359
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,360
where you can make a, a good
living, you know.
360
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,200
No, yeah, it does take a while
to become master.
361
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,040
I have a friend that's becoming
a master I think this year.
362
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,760
Actually, and most construction
trades your, your body breaks
363
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:03,480
down long before, you know, you
get you, you, you see this?
364
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,080
I mean, I saw it in concrete,
you know.
365
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,720
Well, same thing with brick
layers.
366
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,320
Yeah, brick layers.
So Oh my gosh, I couldn't
367
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:14,000
imagine being on my knees laying
bricks low bearing walls and
368
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,680
things like that.
Oh my gosh, That would be a
369
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,600
very, very hard work, but very
well paid work that is.
370
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,480
Huge forearms, man.
You get the Berkeley reunion,
371
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,480
you get, you get paid a good,
good wage to do good work.
372
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,160
You work 8 hours a day.
You don't work 12:14.
373
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,480
You get a break in the in the
morning, you get you get a
374
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,560
decent lunch and you get a, a
wage that you can support a
375
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,160
family with, you know, and
that's, you know, and I think
376
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,680
that he goes to who is it that
Bill Burr said that?
377
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:42,800
He said.
I think that if, you know,
378
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:48,640
somebody works 40 hours a week,
you know, every week they should
379
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,520
be able to live indoors and have
food, you know, and they should
380
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,320
have, they shouldn't have to
worry about whether or not if
381
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,640
they get hurt, that they would
go bankrupt and go out on the
382
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,400
street, you know?
It's.
383
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:01,040
Crazy.
It's not.
384
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,000
We're tracking, but we're now
we're into employment and stuff
385
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,720
and it's kind of funny like
that, isn't?
386
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,800
It it all kind of works
together, but I mean at the same
387
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,360
time.
What I think about too is when
388
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:15,040
you put things in your cart and
then you don't buy them, and now
389
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,840
algorithms are generated off
what people don't and do buy
390
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,680
just based on the Internet cart,
which is just such an
391
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,120
interesting idea.
So you don't go around and just
392
00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:25,720
put stuff in your cart and leave
it for fun.
393
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000
I do all the time.
And then you get and then you
394
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,040
get all these texts, emails and
stuff.
395
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,520
I try to bait the website, so I
do.
396
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,040
I say am I going to buy it?
Am I going to do it?
397
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,720
Am I going to do it?
Yeah, that's what I would say.
398
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,000
I get I get a bag of dildos, I
get a carton of cigarettes,
399
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:47,280
bottle of liquor, 500 oxy and
Star Wars movies.
400
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,880
Sounds.
Like what, what, what, what?
401
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:54,040
And a pillow.
A new pillow?
402
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:56,920
Yeah.
A new pillow and some luggage.
403
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,560
And a luggage.
Yeah, you got to get some
404
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,440
luggage, man.
I went luggage shopping the
405
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:02,800
other day.
Do you know how expensive
406
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,800
luggage is?
It's really expensive stuff it.
407
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:06,840
Depends.
Why?
408
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,240
Why is it so expensive?
You got to go to What's the
409
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,920
little Quickie Mart over here?
We went to Macy's and Macy's is
410
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,960
costly.
Yeah, and Macy's is not the most
411
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,440
expensive place for luggage.
It's really pricey stuff too.
412
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,200
It's like a small bag is $150.00
there.
413
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,840
What's the the one over here
that is.
414
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,000
It was next to the party store.
The party store, Yeah.
415
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,680
To me or something.
It's something, no, not Toomey
416
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,760
Toomey's really.
I mean, I have a little bag for
417
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,240
them and it's like 480 bucks,
but I have, I have had that for
418
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,440
12 years now.
I took it every week to New York
419
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,600
for 10 years.
So and I would roll that bag
420
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:56,640
from 30th up to 5th.
I mean from 28th to 30th, 30th
421
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,800
all the way up to the top 29th
and then go up to 5th Ave.
422
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,400
And then and at the end, the
last four years I was doing it
423
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,080
crosstown.
So I was going from 30th and 8th
424
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:15,520
over to 44th and 5th, which was
a is a long distance for those
425
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,880
that don't know cross streets
and and up streets and all that.
426
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:24,040
It was, it was a hoof, you know,
but hey, and the bag works.
427
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,000
The bag just it's, it always
zips.
428
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,400
It's always open.
It zips open.
429
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,280
It's easy, It's dented.
It's got all these little
430
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,560
scratches all over it and it's
like a huge green.
431
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,800
It was half off because it's so
freaking ugly.
432
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,800
It's just an ugly bag.
My wife's like, why would you
433
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,560
get such an ugly bag?
And it's like nobody has it.
434
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,040
When my bag comes off at the
airline, I know it's my bag.
435
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,840
I had a black bag I.
Had a black bag for about a week
436
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,120
and I was like, I don't want a
black bag.
437
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,200
Everybody's got a black bag.
The.
438
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,800
Blue suitcase I have now is so
common, it's crazy.
439
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,960
Everybody has like there's a
specific design for a suitcase
440
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,520
now that has like these ridges
on top of it.
441
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:08,280
Everybody has it.
It's.
442
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,640
Like potato chips, it's.
Crazy 'cause this blue one.
443
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,880
Ruffles on ridges.
Yeah, it's 100%.
444
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,160
It's a ruffled chip.
You ever have the all dressed
445
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,480
the Canadian chip?
It's like.
446
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,920
Paprika.
Salt, pepper, vinegar, all in
447
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,280
one one flavor.
It's one of the best flavors
448
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:26,120
I've ever had.
I.
449
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:34,040
Remember, Japan had fish.
Fish just flavored, Yeah, fish
450
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,600
flavored potato chips, which
were kind of nasty.
451
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,920
And I got AI got an interesting
what the heck was it?
452
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:45,240
It was another weird one, dragon
flavored and all sorts of weird
453
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:49,160
weird flavors.
Marilyn does crab chips now.
454
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,200
In the international market, you
can buy and they're from Korea.
455
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,440
When you get really weird
tasting chips, you know, like
456
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,840
sushi flavored chips and it's
like, what the Hell's a sushi
457
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,880
flavored chip?
You know, just just really
458
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,880
bizarre, strange stuff.
Yeah.
459
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,800
So we will see.
I hope to get some discount
460
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,240
coupons for the international
market now and sponsor us.
461
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,760
Sponsor us, anybody, sponsor us.
Our conversations are that good.
462
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,480
Sponsor, sponsor, sponsor,
sponsor.
463
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,400
That means I'll get a lot of
emails with sponsor on.
464
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,280
I get a whole lot more of those.
Got a ton of them.
465
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,760
You know, I notice that my, my
inbox is just tons of that.
466
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:33,600
And then everything is that
comes in and says following and
467
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:38,600
I never, I never checked it or
it says follow, follow, follow,
468
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,760
you know, in the upper.
Yeah, I was wondering because I
469
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,280
was like, who are these people?
And it says follow and it's like
470
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,240
some, you know, you know, Bilbo
Baggins follow and then he says
471
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,880
something that either you love
or you hate one of the other.
472
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,080
It's never, it's never like have
a nice day or take it easy,
473
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,320
dude.
It's not that.
474
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,960
It's always some you know,
political rant or economic rant
475
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,680
or foreigner rant, you know,
something or higher education
476
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:14,840
rant or stupid people rant or
gun rant or you know, you can
477
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,440
just the topics are all there.
There's there's 3040 topics that
478
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,400
immediately drive people crazy.
I think the most ridiculous
479
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,720
thing is LinkedIn influencer.
You got LinkedIn influencers now
480
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:32,920
and you got short form content,
IE reels on LinkedIn.
481
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,160
And I'm like, when did we make
LinkedIn such a cesspool of just
482
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:42,160
it's Facebook and everybody's
like, oh, I've my father killed
483
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,920
himself 60 years ago today and
that taught me to be a great CEO
484
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,360
And I'm like, this is keep your
private life out of your
485
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:51,120
professional.
Oh, I miss that.
486
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:55,160
I miss being able to separate.
Have any source?
487
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,160
Public from private.
Between your own identity and
488
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,080
then your own identity, 'cause I
firmly believe that that should
489
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,840
still exist.
Well, I, I love the ones where
490
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,880
they post something very
personal and they say that, you
491
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:12,440
know, what is it that you really
need to focus on your private
492
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,520
time and your private life and
you're thinking like, and you're
493
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:20,760
doing this in a business format,
so you're not doing what you say
494
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,080
we should do.
I always look at people that are
495
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,320
on there too, and they're trying
to write something really
496
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,360
profound.
But it was clearly just a prompt
497
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:32,720
on ChatGPT.
All of those posts with the kind
498
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,520
of, what is it?
Not the, oh geez, the bullet
499
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,440
point, but it's the dash.
And it's like if I was gonna do
500
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,840
top three things in my life #1
And it's all clearly ChatGPT
501
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,520
format, 'cause you see the
hyphenated things between the
502
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,920
words that aren't really
hyphenated, but ChatGPT throws
503
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,560
in these hyphens.
And yeah, I'm like, how lazy do
504
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,040
you have to be?
Made-up stuff Well, because it
505
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,720
it's, it's, it's a lot of really
cool ideas that are put together
506
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,080
that sound really good until you
start to go through them and
507
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,920
say, no, this is not true.
No, this is, you know, that's
508
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:15,120
where they come down to what is
it the ghosting or where is it
509
00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:17,320
ghosting?
Is that what they call it when
510
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,320
we saw when they make references
to things that aren't there?
511
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,200
Oh, I'm not sure.
Yeah, I forgot what that's
512
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,040
called.
I always love these people too.
513
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,920
They're like how to break into
the industry?
514
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,600
What I would do is I would do
this really renowned thing
515
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,160
called making my own project
with a small group of people.
516
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,040
It's not, it doesn't have to be
a lot of money.
517
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,440
It just, you know, you just need
to write something and you need
518
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,360
to make it with your friends.
I'm like, this is not a new
519
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,360
idea.
This is not a new idea.
520
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:50,400
Stop pretending like you are
this guru that has just figured
521
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,520
it all out 'cause you're not and
you're a snake oil salesman.
522
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,840
I hate those people so much.
I really, really do 'cause
523
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,920
they're just full of it.
They're just so full of it.
524
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,760
Yeah.
Yeah.
525
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,320
Well, I think that they're
they're looking for things that
526
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,480
are.
What do you call it?
527
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,640
I think it's generalizers career
advisor.
528
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,800
Hallucinations, that's what.
It's not ghosting, it's
529
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,280
hallucinations.
Interesting.
530
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,640
They, they, they.
Their tendency to generate
531
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,160
convincing but false
information, that's the problem.
532
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,160
You got a lot of that where it
sounds really, really good.
533
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,480
And I mean, I, it's funny, I was
in a product meeting actually
534
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,680
this year and we went through
that and they were talking about
535
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,480
these things that they were
considering.
536
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,160
And I was listening and I was
just like, did you do any
537
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,440
research on the market?
Well, look, it shows the markets
538
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,320
this and this and this.
And I'm like, that's not right.
539
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,600
What do you mean?
And then I proceeded to point
540
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,440
out some things to them.
And then they and then they
541
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:57,080
realized that it was wrong, You
know, you know, I mean, those
542
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,240
are the, those are the over and
over and over.
543
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:00,640
Yeah, I mean, lawyers are doing
that too.
544
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,040
They're they're they're having
responses to suits that are
545
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,200
coming against them and they're
throw it all into to ChatGPT or
546
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,240
perplexity or, you know,
whatever AI thing.
547
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,280
And then they get a response and
then they don't check it and
548
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,520
they send it and they don't use
their own legal intelligence to
549
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,000
realize that what they're saying
is horseshit.
550
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:23,240
You know Orson.
Welles did a kind of this little
551
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:27,080
one page essay on how to be a
great writer and it's broken up
552
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,240
into I think 10 bullet points.
And the majority of the bullet
553
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,720
points kind of summarize the
idea that just tell it like it
554
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:38,960
is, be straightforward.
And I think nowadays convolution
555
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,000
is so, so rampant.
Or you're trying to sound smart,
556
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,120
but if you just got to the point
to begin with, you'd be a whole
557
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:52,080
lot smarter than using, I don't
know, elongated phrases to say
558
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:53,040
nothing.
It's.
559
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,680
It's really, really frustrating.
They will come out with a good
560
00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:02,560
interesting idea and you'll say,
wow, plane to Mars, That's cool.
561
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:08,280
And then and then, but then all
of their supporting points are
562
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,760
you see 400 points that prove
that this is the greatest thing
563
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,560
since sliced bread #741 says
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
564
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,360
blah.
And you're like, that's not true
565
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,320
#421 that says blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah.
566
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,880
But that's not true.
And then you start to realize
567
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,120
that, you know, once you start
to look into it and you got a
568
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,240
lot of supporting points that
that you would, should do
569
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,520
something that, and these are
the points that support it.
570
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,880
And the points are wrong.
And once and and and it should
571
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,480
be that if you got one, if you
get once you get the two points
572
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,440
wrong, you should say throw the
shit away, do it over.
573
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,440
If you, if you're, if you come
to me and you say, Hey, I think
574
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,720
we can, I think we can start
this company, we can do this.
575
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,320
And I say, OK, So what makes you
say that?
576
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,640
It's like, well, because I can
pull a rabbit out of a hat, OK,
577
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:01,680
that's number point #1 #2 I can,
I can drive my car with no gas.
578
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,040
And then I say, OK, show me you
can pull a rabbit out of hat and
579
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,920
you're like, well, I don't know.
You're like, OK, you can't do
580
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,640
that.
OK, I can drive my car without
581
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,240
gas.
OK, prove that I, I can't.
582
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,080
OK, So no, your idea is not
good.
583
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,320
Or it may be good, but you, you
don't know how to support it, so
584
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,520
I don't want you to do it.
You know, something like that.
585
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,800
It's like it's so it's
interesting.
586
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,360
Meanwhile, you're being really
is.
587
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,280
Everything you do is being
tracked at all.
588
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,280
Times.
And it's and it, and here's the
589
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,920
thing, and this is the thing I
see a lot of there's so many
590
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:40,400
falsehoods coming out, right?
That are all these chat bots,
591
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,320
all of this information.
And now remember that all of the
592
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,480
the large language, the LLMS,
large language models that
593
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:52,600
Perplexity, Chatchi, BT, AI,
whatever, whatever model they
594
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:58,920
use, they're using the Internet
and they're using all of that
595
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,240
false information and they're
not.
596
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:07,800
Or even generated bias too.
Well, right, so, so if if if you
597
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:14,320
say you want to say that it's a
60% chance that the commanders
598
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,840
are going to beat the Cowboys,
which is really false.
599
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,760
They're they're they're going to
get slaughtered, right.
600
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:25,120
But what you do is you post 10,
you send out a bot and you can
601
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:26,640
buy these.
Now I saw these, 'cause I was
602
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,000
thinking about us getting
something to, you know, an
603
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,720
influencer that would influence
people to come to our podcast.
604
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:37,320
Very good idea.
And you can pay a fee and they
605
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:45,280
will have 3000 bots that you can
rent per month and each one will
606
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,600
post on 10 different sites.
OK.
607
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,440
Think.
About think about that number,
608
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:58,560
you know?
Exactly. 3000 * 10 per month.
609
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,200
And if you and if you wanted to
pay more, you can get 50, you
610
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,760
can get 100.
Well, if you think about it too,
611
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,920
Joe.
Rogan and Theo Von have all of
612
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,320
these weird YouTube channels.
They just come up and it's like
613
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:15,760
Pod highlight 123 or like
highlights for podcasts 201 and
614
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,480
like there's so many of those.
Same with Instagram that there's
615
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,840
a long time when you all I saw
on my explore page was Theo Von
616
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,639
Highlights, which was very, very
interesting.
617
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,920
They push it.
They push it and they they know
618
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,960
how to they, they pay the right
marketing engine to put their
619
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,440
information out there.
And that's the problem 'cause we
620
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,440
were in hopes.
That you will get pulled pulled
621
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:38,679
in to actually listen to the
thing.
622
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,520
I have never listened to a whole
Joe Rogan thing.
623
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,199
I have seen, I would say no less
than 10,000 of his shorts
624
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,719
easily, easily.
Same thing with Theo Von.
625
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,320
I've probably seen probably a
couple thousand of his.
626
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,360
But also, let's go the other
way.
627
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,960
Denzel Washington, you pointed
out earlier, I probably seen
628
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:03,000
3000 of his.
Even though he says nothing
629
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,360
about social media.
He is all over social media.
630
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:11,680
I mean his image, his his words,
his little shorts from movies
631
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,120
they are.
Everywhere.
632
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,840
And they came.
Out to be a wonderful guy.
633
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,920
But you know what he does too?
That he forgets he might have a
634
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,760
personal kind of thing with
social media.
635
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,000
Course he does.
His agent doesn't.
636
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,640
His manager doesn't the.
People that they know, they know
637
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:29,920
his.
Marketing team doesn't.
638
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,600
Their money is based upon what
he makes right?
639
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,560
So the better they drive his
name out into the and the more
640
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,280
parts that he gets and the more
options he gets, the more they
641
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,720
make, the better the image.
Precisely.
642
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:51,520
If they can sell his image, just
his image or his older image,
643
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:53,800
and they can sell that after
he's gone.
644
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,120
Think about what, what kind of
that's a, that's a, a Commission
645
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,800
in perpetuity for a dead person,
I mean.
646
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,320
Wow, a lot of celebrities make
more money after they're dead
647
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:05,560
too, which is really
interesting.
648
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,280
Well, it doesn't really do them
any good at that point.
649
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:09,680
I guess so.
We should kill ourselves, is
650
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,240
what I'm saying.
We got to kill ourselves.
651
00:36:11,240 --> 00:36:14,280
Tomorrow we can.
Try.
652
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,000
And then we'll get really,
really big.
653
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,760
That's what it's.
Yeah, but the there's a downside
654
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:19,960
to that.
What?
655
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,080
What is a downside?
You'll be dead.
656
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:23,960
Oh yeah, yeah, you.
Don't want to be dead.
657
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,280
Nobody wants to be dead.
Well, some people want to be
658
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,040
dead.
That's a sad thing.
659
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,880
Suicide's pretty high, yeah, we
don't need to talk about that,
660
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:34,080
but.
Yeah, well.
661
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,520
When you think about the way
social medias in the, in the, in
662
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,520
the way that like I think about
high school, like if I did
663
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,640
something wrong, I mean, I
remember I got in altercations
664
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,440
or things with, with two or
three people and all of a sudden
665
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,920
six or eight people knew it and
it was horrible.
666
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:57,080
I can't imagine if 3700 people
knew that size of this whole
667
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:58,600
school 'cause everybody would
know.
668
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,600
And there's a video of you
getting beat up or something and
669
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,720
it was.
Yeah, or me saying something
670
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:07,120
stupid, you know, which happens
every day, every second.
671
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,600
Yeah.
And if you don't like edit, you
672
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,680
don't hear the first 3 words and
the last three words.
673
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,480
It sounds worse.
OK, we do that all the time.
674
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,200
I think.
I think it would be, I'd be hard
675
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,840
pressed to find anybody that
does anything, doesn't do
676
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,160
anything stupid.
And that's why when you see
677
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,720
people on they, they say
something.
678
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,960
Who was it?
Kevin Hart, when he said that
679
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:35,240
and he got kicked off of the
Academy Awards because he said
680
00:37:35,240 --> 00:37:39,280
something about gay people
saying I wouldn't, I think.
681
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,080
He should.
I remember I, I do.
682
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,680
Remember that I wouldn't want my
kid to be a faggot or something.
683
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:50,400
Something silly, silly, bad,
wrong that he said 10 years ago
684
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,320
and he apologized and it was
gone.
685
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,000
And then all of a sudden here he
is to be, you know, the MC and
686
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,400
it comes up again and they're
like, apologize again.
687
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,480
And it's like, why?
I already did and it was already
688
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,360
gone.
Why do you, you know, I did this
689
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,960
10 years ago and they're like,
no, you have to grab more.
690
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,720
And you're thinking like, Nah.
And that's what he did.
691
00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:15,800
He had the balls to walk away,
which was kind of cool, but you
692
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,320
know.
Williams said something
693
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,520
something really interesting
about him, specifically Kevin
694
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:25,560
Hart, and he said do you
remember anytime before 2000?
695
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,040
I don't know, 11 Do you ever
hear of Kevin Hart?
696
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,720
You ever see a?
Stand he was chosen when you
697
00:38:31,720 --> 00:38:34,200
listen to Katt Williams, he
talks about all the people that
698
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,320
get chosen and they said then
they put him in a dress.
699
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,440
Black people in a dress got to
put you in a dress.
700
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:41,800
They wanted to, they wanted to
disintegrate you.
701
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,320
And he said every big black
actor that you can talk about
702
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,080
has been in a dress at one time
or another.
703
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:48,800
Like really?
And it's like, you just go
704
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:49,840
through and you're like, Oh my
God, I.
705
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,640
Could think of it, yeah.
Yeah, Oh, my God, they did that.
706
00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:55,720
Oh my God, they did that, you
know, And he said, it's these,
707
00:38:55,720 --> 00:38:59,560
these the, the muckety mucks at
the stadium at the audience.
708
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,760
And you listen to him and you're
like, whoa, he's, he's not
709
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,320
wrong.
Of course that happens for a lot
710
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,080
of people.
I mean, white people do it too.
711
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,800
They, they are all in dresses.
I don't know if they all have to
712
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,760
be in a dress, you know, and
many of them push back and say
713
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,960
I'm not going to be in a dress,
you know, and then, and then
714
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,360
you're tough to work with.
But I I guess that's.
715
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,840
Well, that's the thing that the
producer says jump, and then the
716
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,800
actor says how high?
Yeah, that's that's really what
717
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,880
it is.
Yeah, that's it.
718
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,560
Is the.
Director is the producer or the
719
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:28,800
director?
Director says it.
720
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,080
Producer and then director.
Executive producer first, right?
721
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:34,720
Yeah.
And then director.
722
00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:36,600
He has a silly idea.
But even the director's kind of
723
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,080
controlled, unless it's some
kind of James Cameron where he
724
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,040
owns his own kind of studio and
everything like that, like
725
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,600
George Lucas did, but.
They own soup nuts, Yeah.
726
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:50,120
Yeah, if it's not them that it's
the the EP or other people,
727
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:54,680
yeah.
Yeah, Opms, other people's
728
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,960
money, You know about money.
Yeah, it's good, but it's
729
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:00,560
expensive.
I mean, that's always the
730
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,640
problem with venture capital
when you think about it, you're
731
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:08,080
giving away, you give away a big
chunk and but they take a big
732
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,960
chunk of risks.
So that's part of it.
733
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:11,320
What?
One out of 10?
734
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,080
One out of 12.
Oh well.
735
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,000
Or home runs.
Was it really bad home run?
736
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,200
One of the walls are pretty
still pretty high, Yeah, but I
737
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,560
mean for the capital.
I mean you put you put
738
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,200
$1,000,000 in 11 companies and
they all lose it.
739
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,960
Yeah.
And they go belly up or they
740
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,720
drag knuckle or whatever they
do, you know, maybe a few of
741
00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:33,840
them break even.
And then one gives you $80
742
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:38,200
million back.
You're like, oh, not bad, you
743
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,200
know?
And that's the OR you have an
744
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,320
Uber.
You have an Uber that makes
745
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:42,960
billions.
Right.
746
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:48,600
That gives you 800.
Big difference, you know.
747
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,480
You destroy the cab economy and
people in foreign countries as
748
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,840
well, and they'll have to fight
for their right to eat and drink
749
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,320
water and.
Then the leader dude is just
750
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,560
just a horrible, it seems like a
horrible person for what they
751
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,360
the Travis Kappanak or whatever,
Not the football player guy.
752
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,840
The guy that was the head of
Uber would say misogynist, real.
753
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,840
You know, I didn't know that.
Yeah.
754
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:16,280
Yeah, very.
He got in all sorts of trouble
755
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:22,440
for saying things, doing things,
and they ousted him and kicked
756
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:23,680
him out.
But it's really hard to kick
757
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,360
Aceo out.
Who doesn't want to go when he
758
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,600
owns 20% of the company?
Yeah, we were a guy.
759
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:31,240
Yeah, yeah, he was.
So now he's coming back.
760
00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:34,240
They're giving him money again.
They gave him 300 million this
761
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:35,840
time around.
Didn't you see what happened
762
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,960
last time with SoftBank?
Like I don't understand how you.
763
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,800
He got out of that, they got out
of that and and that was the
764
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,840
dirtiest and most scummy thing I
I can imagine.
765
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,360
It reminded me of the Facebook
thing.
766
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,560
But that was Jared Leto's best
performance in the last five
767
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:56,680
years, 5 or 6 years.
Jared Leto was amazing in that
768
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,120
and and Hathaway.
That casting was phenomenal.
769
00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:03,400
But you look at that and you
watch that and you see how he
770
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,640
all those people were working
incredible hours and getting
771
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,920
bare minimum wage. 8090 hours a
week, yeah.
772
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,160
And they're that they were going
to options and the options are
773
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:14,360
going to be worth a ton of
money.
774
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:18,280
So he runs it till it gets to be
billions.
775
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:22,480
Then he breaks the bank by
risking going into foreign
776
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,640
countries and opening up, you
know, all this silly stuff where
777
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,480
he wants to have, you know, we
stink and we wash and we and all
778
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,160
these other well.
Who's buying these 20 year land
779
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,960
leases on rental properties?
It was like, it's the fastest
780
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,160
growing company of all time and
like but but not when you're not
781
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,040
making any money.
But money goes down.
782
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,760
Yeah, exactly.
And then when he lost it and
783
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,720
they were forced and they forced
him out, they're forced into
784
00:42:46,720 --> 00:42:51,760
bankruptcy, right.
So SoftBank cuts a deal with him
785
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:56,120
because he has voting.
He has some voting control and
786
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:01,440
they end up paying him hundreds
of millions of dollars and they
787
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,320
and the settlement to buy the
company out is he gets like 500
788
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,880
million or something like that
and they get a bunch of money.
789
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,680
They don't get even they're they
only lost like half of their
790
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,600
money or something like that.
But you know who gets nothing?
791
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,320
Employees, right?
They, they, they.
792
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,360
Stiffed all the employees that
worked all those years for
793
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,920
nothing and I'm just like.
And you know, I never didn't
794
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,320
even get paychecks either.
They got paid in stock only,
795
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:29,400
right?
And.
796
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,840
You had to work a side job just
so you could survive working at
797
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:34,160
this.
Point.
798
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,440
I'm sure people ended up
homeless because of that, yeah.
799
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,000
Because they weren't New York.
And it's like.
800
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:44,160
You see it a lot, a lot, a lot
where fast growing companies do
801
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,000
this.
Employees are become automatons
802
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,560
and you know, and they get used
and then they throw them aside.
803
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,400
You see it over and over.
I mean, I've seen it so much in
804
00:43:54,400 --> 00:44:00,200
so many different places that
you know, it's, it's, it's buyer
805
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,440
beware, you know, or worker
beware.
806
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,960
You can't.
That's why unions are good.
807
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,880
You know, you, you try to make
sure.
808
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:12,520
And, and because not everybody
is or when it comes down to
809
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:18,400
money, most people believe that
a dollar for them is better than
810
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,960
a dollar for you.
Or or.
811
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,240
They might give you something,
but they're only going to give
812
00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:26,160
you a little bit.
There's always the thing where
813
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,920
it's like, well, they don't know
how to spend that money, you
814
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,040
know, and they wouldn't.
Yeah.
815
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:31,960
They don't know.
They don't know what they would
816
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,640
do with that.
They don't know you give them.
817
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,200
$1000 they're they're set for
life.
818
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:41,400
And you're like, are you stupid?
You know, it just, it's, it's,
819
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,520
it's, it's sort of, I mean, you
saw the whole Zuckerberg did it
820
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,440
with the buddy that actually his
best buddy in college put him
821
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,360
up, put up money for it and he
sold them out.
822
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:54,360
I mean, he, he cut it, he, he
watered down his options and he
823
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,160
end up getting sued and he had
to pay the guy $3 billion.
824
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,840
But you know what, that was a
drop in the bucket.
825
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,520
And they're now, you know, it is
what it is, but it was the
826
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:07,240
dirtiest deal you'd ever seen.
He just, he just, he screwed
827
00:45:07,240 --> 00:45:09,760
him.
He screwed the Winklevoss's, the
828
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,800
Weworks guy screwed all the
employees.
829
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,280
And then those people are still
there and they're they're top
830
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,560
and they're pinnacles.
And it's like Jobs.
831
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:21,520
Steve Jobs did it to the number
four guy when they went public.
832
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,440
It was.
Yeah, it was kicked in at there
833
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,320
was him was and maybe it was the
number three guy.
834
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,320
There was a couple others that
yeah, it was.
835
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:33,960
Three or four and all the guys
after that didn't get any stock.
836
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,480
He wouldn't give them anything.
And they're like, why the hell?
837
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,720
Why wouldn't you share?
You're worth, you know, hundreds
838
00:45:39,720 --> 00:45:42,400
of millions of dollars.
It's no, you didn't sign an
839
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,440
agreement.
You know, I don't know what I
840
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,040
don't know what the reasoning
was, but I mean, I, I was like
841
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:48,960
God, you know, that's just
that's.
842
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,240
I remember this guy was going
into acquisition with Steve Jobs
843
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,520
for an app.
I can't remember which app it
844
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,160
was, but Steve Jobs was like,
yeah, we'll give you 200
845
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:58,360
million.
He's like, but the deal says
846
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,960
it's 5:50, so it's 550 million.
And and then Steve Jobs turns
847
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,640
around.
I was like, well, what if I just
848
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,560
banned your app from the App
Store and pay you nothing?
849
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,120
What about that?
All right, I'll take 250.
850
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,680
I'll I'll take 250.
I will.
851
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:13,760
Take, I'll take a half.
I'll take a half to please.
852
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,280
Don't that's the monopoly yeah,
that's see that's what everybody
853
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,640
wants they want to be able to
take my ball and go home.
854
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,520
Then I have complete control and
complete control halves I have I
855
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:27,160
can make unlimited money.
You know, that's like when you
856
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,960
see the, the, you know, the
people change the, they change
857
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,200
the rules of the game.
And we keep thinking like
858
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,800
capitalism's a level playing
field when it's not.
859
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,120
That's the.
The illusion of choices.
860
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,680
Yeah, the illusion of choices.
If you have a lot of money, you,
861
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,800
you, you have a, you have a much
better field.
862
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:44,800
Well, it's much better.
For you, that was what a lot of
863
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,800
people were saying for a long
time where they're like, oh, I
864
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,440
love a 24 movies.
They're so different and they're
865
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,360
so personally curated around a
hyper niche where it's like you
866
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,720
have these 4 quadrant
demographic movies that satisfy
867
00:46:54,720 --> 00:46:57,280
everybody and it's like, well, a
24 is owned by Disney.
868
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,400
So it's not really, it's just a
different mask that they're
869
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:01,760
throwing up.
Same with Searchlight Pictures,
870
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,640
owned by who is it, Warner
Brothers?
871
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:06,920
I mean, it's a smaller
production company to give the
872
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:14,640
illusion that it is this kind of
ornate ND type.
873
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,280
ND there we go.
ND type movie, man, we're really
874
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,960
laid back here.
You know, we got to get away
875
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:24,480
from the bad name.
I mean, that's, you know, and
876
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,840
I'm sure Targets going to start
open up different stores if
877
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,760
their numbers keep getting hit
for being wishy washy.
878
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,800
I mean, they're all they're all
they all do it.
879
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,120
They just, yeah, you know, you
got to figure out a way to make
880
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:36,360
money.
You know what I learned the
881
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:37,880
other day?
Target has like a year long
882
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,120
return policy.
You can return it without a
883
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,040
receipt for over a year.
It's crazy.
884
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,440
Some somebody that I work with
was talking about working retail
885
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,600
at Target, you know, yeah,
people would come in all the
886
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,960
time.
You had a used furniture like a
887
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:54,920
bed frame for a whole year and
then returned it.
888
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,680
Wow.
So and then I was, I was joking
889
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,160
with him.
I was like, wow, I can't imagine
890
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,400
just going fully furnishing my
apartment, then returning
891
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:02,720
everything when I move out at
the end of the year.
892
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,160
Yeah, like 'cause it's kind of
just like it's.
893
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,080
What they would do, it's just, I
mean, people will do it.
894
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:09,520
Furniture on leaves.
I wouldn't do it.
895
00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:12,800
Even though I know and it's
like, I, I mean, I remember I
896
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,200
bought AI bought a pair of
boots.
897
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:23,800
I had a pair of boots from REI
and I, I trained from O5 and I
898
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:27,360
climbed Kilimanjaro with him.
I did the Inca trail with him.
899
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,600
I did Fitzroy and Torres
Delpine.
900
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:37,600
So and year five, I think I
probably had thousands of miles
901
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,600
on the boots.
The bottom was ripping.
902
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,760
So I go back in, I said I got a
new, new pair of boots, hiking
903
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:45,520
boots.
And the guy looks at them and I
904
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,560
have them in the back and I show
them to him and he goes, oh,
905
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:52,000
we'll just replace them.
What I'm like, no, I, I can't do
906
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:53,080
that.
He's what do you mean?
907
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:54,720
They're, you know, they're, it's
free.
908
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,040
They're defective.
And I'm like, no, they were not
909
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:01,400
defective, not in any way, you
know, and he's like, no, no,
910
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:02,920
we'll replace them.
I'm like, no, I, I want to buy a
911
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:04,680
new pair.
I don't feel, I feel like that's
912
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:09,080
stealing, you know, is weird,
but it was weird.
913
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,360
And they were really nice and,
and yeah, and I was like, and he
914
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,800
would, they would replace
anything that that it was messed
915
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,680
up or whatever.
I mean, I had my arc Terex.
916
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:24,000
I love them, but you pay nuts.
I mean, the arc Terex rain
917
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:28,920
jacket was 550 bucks and I wore
that thing.
918
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,560
I wore that thing up that
mountain up all every single one
919
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,400
of those trips I had.
And the zipper never failed.
920
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,160
None of the zippers failed.
Nothing like that.
921
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:41,520
It had just, it was perfect,
perfect shell just never had a
922
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,920
better jacket.
It was that light blue, you
923
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,200
know, so you can see it from 10
million miles away.
924
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:53,600
Well, Yub Yub decides to eat the
you have these things that tie
925
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:55,600
down and tie the headpiece down
to you.
926
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,400
You have the drawstrings.
She eats those off and then
927
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,720
chews off part of the the
corner.
928
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:05,000
And so I call, I send them a
message and they're like, well,
929
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,960
you can return it and, and it's
take pictures and we'll see if
930
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:11,040
we can repair it.
And I take pictures and they go,
931
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:14,600
well, we can't repair that.
You know, it's, it's, it's
932
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:15,960
eaten.
You know, I said, yeah, yeah, I
933
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,760
didn't expect so.
And they said, but if you return
934
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,480
it, we'll give you a second.
I'm like what?
935
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:24,480
They said you can return it.
You'll get a second.
936
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:28,000
And I'm like a second.
Does that mean you go poop on
937
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,840
it?
And you know, no, it's, it means
938
00:50:31,240 --> 00:50:37,120
they gave me a, a blood red one,
which I've had now for 10 years.
939
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:41,160
You know, I remember that and I
didn't feel bad about that.
940
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,360
I don't know why.
I think I I didn't feel bad
941
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:44,920
because I paid so much the first
time.
942
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,280
They honor the the return
policy.
943
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,160
Yeah, they really do.
More so than any other brand
944
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,960
I've ever seen other than like,
steel chainsaws.
945
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:53,640
Steel chainsaws also really
honors.
946
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,560
They're like, you can send a
chainsaw chain in you bought 10
947
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,360
years ago and they'll sharpen it
and they'll redo it.
948
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,840
Yeah.
Yeah, I love my steel.
949
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:03,640
Yeah.
They're a really small company
950
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,000
too, funny enough.
But they're good.
951
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:07,280
They're really, really good.
Very.
952
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,600
Small manufacturing facility.
In the in the olden days, for
953
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:17,080
one summer on the one day off I
had when I was working concrete,
954
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,080
I quit doing me in a gardener.
I started cutting wood.
955
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:26,720
We bought some Poulan Poulan
chainsaws, the 18 inch bars and
956
00:51:26,720 --> 00:51:29,800
we went out and we, we had a, we
knew a lot of builders and they
957
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,440
were taking trees down and we
would cut the trees down and we
958
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,840
would borrow Reed Foundations
truck.
959
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:36,840
And they had a flatbed that we
could use.
960
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:38,880
And we cut down a bunch of wood,
throw it on the back of the
961
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,440
truck, take it to his yard and
dump it and then sell it by the
962
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:43,360
cord.
Right.
963
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:50,600
Well, Oolan was just this
amazing chainsaw and then they
964
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:54,560
got a Home Depot contract and
Home Depot was like, we need 5
965
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,920
billion Mulans each week because
that's what we sell.
966
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:02,760
And now they're, they just the,
the, the quality's gone to shit.
967
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,040
And I think that's the, that's
the problem when they go into
968
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:09,440
the mass production, they can,
they can definitely keep the,
969
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,800
some parts of it are good, but
for the most part the quality
970
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,920
drops.
It's kind of like tracking, you
971
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,600
know, that's what I often wonder
about the tracking and stuff
972
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:18,440
like that.
We go back.
973
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:20,480
I'm, I'm trying to get, I'm
trying to circle back around to
974
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,240
that, you know, and I think
about one of the things I think
975
00:52:23,240 --> 00:52:26,840
about is DNA where they, where
people do this 33 and me and
976
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:30,080
stuff and how 20.
Three and me. 23andMe now that's
977
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:34,040
been sold and that data is now
owned by other people.
978
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:39,160
And the problem is, is that I
was reading about what those are
979
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:46,520
that those are called a quick
DNA and a quick DNA is is is not
980
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:50,200
an accurate DNA.
It's a pretty good DNA, but it's
981
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,440
not a really highly accurate
DNA.
982
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:57,040
So when you start to pull one of
those down and find out that,
983
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,880
hey, I murdered somebody over on
7th St.
984
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:05,520
Well, maybe not because it's so
inaccurate to the quality of the
985
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:09,000
DNA that comes up.
And so it it, it, it kind of
986
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,160
adds to me.
It adds to me when I think about
987
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,000
all the tracking and all the
information that's out there on
988
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,920
you.
That is it now.
989
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:19,480
I mean, you're certainly your
DNA is out there, you know, all
990
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:23,760
these markers that if you've
done that or if you've ever done
991
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,600
anything, any blood tests or
we'll think about what's
992
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:30,280
happening at the airports now,
all those things clear where
993
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:33,680
they do an eye thing.
You know, your eyes, your eyes
994
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,400
have been scanned, your face has
been scanned, all that stuff.
995
00:53:36,720 --> 00:53:38,160
You don't think that's not in
the public?
996
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:42,400
No, it definitely is.
Yeah, and that idea that they
997
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,160
ever remove records that you?
No, they don't.
998
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:50,920
No, you know, it's all that that
that information is readily
999
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,320
available and it basically what
it is.
1000
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,080
If you want to target somebody,
you want to sell them or you
1001
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,920
want them to think a particular
way.
1002
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:01,720
And you and I would believe that
we have free thought and that
1003
00:54:01,720 --> 00:54:05,960
people can't manipulate us.
But if you keep showing me
1004
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:11,480
something that over and over and
over and over and over, it's not
1005
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,040
too good to be true.
But it sounds like it couldn't
1006
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:17,000
be true.
But if I see it enough, I'm
1007
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:21,160
going to try it only because
I've been marketed to.
1008
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,240
If I see it and I see it in all
the different places and then
1009
00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:26,880
you offer, you come in and offer
me a coupon for it, I'm like,
1010
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,280
oh, OK.
Well, Zach says it's OK, but
1011
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,080
then they market to you.
And I don't know that.
1012
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,280
And then they mark it to my wife
and then they mark it to my
1013
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:35,520
sister.
And then they mark it to my
1014
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,440
brother and they mark it to, you
know, my dad, mother.
1015
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,520
And then they mark it to all
these different people.
1016
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,960
She probably doesn't do do
anything with the information
1017
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:44,280
they give her.
You think?
1018
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:47,080
No.
Probably not.
1019
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,040
Probably not.
Yeah.
1020
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,440
Well, I think the interesting
thing is we, we kind of covered
1021
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:58,920
how to, we haven't said anything
about preventing apps to track
1022
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:00,760
you.
You know, you can have settings
1023
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,760
and if you go to your iPhone
users, you open your settings
1024
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,320
there, There's a thing in there
you can toggle off allow apps to
1025
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,600
request a track and that will
prevent them from me even asking
1026
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,200
review the apps that you're
looking at.
1027
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:19,040
Do the same thing with Android.
Uninstall unused apps to reduce
1028
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:23,480
risk.
Prefer secure browsers, Firefox,
1029
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,400
Duck Go, Brave, Add privacy.
Duck go.
1030
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:27,880
Yeah, I think it's going to
become the future of.
1031
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:32,080
Add privacy tools like Ghostery
or U block Origin for more web
1032
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,880
privacy.
Reset your device's Idi mean you
1033
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:41,800
think every time you go log on
to to your every time you go
1034
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:47,200
into your your iPhone, you're
pumping in that number and then
1035
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,040
that number is used to get into
your Google Chrome.
1036
00:55:50,240 --> 00:55:55,360
So those two are linked.
You know a near unnecessary
1037
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:56,560
permissions is the biggest
thing.
1038
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,560
I don't when you see every
single time you go to a new
1039
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,880
website now, it's like accept
cookies, don't accept you don't
1040
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,400
have to.
No, you don't, and I've learned
1041
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,640
them recently.
Yeah, 'cause I often thought,
1042
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,160
well, I can't if you would.
I can't access it, yeah.
1043
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,400
But that's not true.
You just say no and and they're
1044
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:17,960
real weird because they will.
The really sketchy ones will say
1045
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:23,200
accept all or manage and manage.
You have to go in and click all
1046
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,400
the ones you don't want.
You're like, but if you go to
1047
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:31,000
the bottom of the page, it's
unclick all and you're like, Oh
1048
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,920
my gosh, we're going to sell it
to your old girlfriend.
1049
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,360
We're we're going to, we're
going to sell it to your
1050
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:39,840
neighbors.
We're going to, we're going to,
1051
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,560
we're going to give it to them
at a discount, you know, and,
1052
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,600
and to the banker and to the,
your future employer and all
1053
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,600
this other stuff like that.
It is kind of interesting how
1054
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:50,760
how much is out there and how
much you get tracked.
1055
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:54,840
I think that people are foolish
to think that they don't get
1056
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,480
tracked because I hear a number
of people say, well, I don't get
1057
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:58,480
tracked.
I'm like, you got a bank
1058
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:01,040
account, don't you?
Exactly.
1059
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:06,040
Well, all of your financial
transactions are done to buy
1060
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:09,760
things and sell things.
Those things are tracked.
1061
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:18,000
You know, unless you buy money
cards or whatever, those cash
1062
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:21,720
things, money orders and send
those in to pay your monthly
1063
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,600
bills, your online monthly
usage.
1064
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:27,080
I mean my power usage, you know
how much power I use?
1065
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:30,880
You know how much, how much
electricity, how much gas, how
1066
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,800
much, all that stuff.
You know I'm a light bill.
1067
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,960
You know, you can look up and
see what I paid for my house.
1068
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:39,280
You would know if you look, you
can look back to 1998 and know
1069
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,360
that I bought the house that I
live in right now for 645,000.
1070
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:43,640
You want to look it up, go look
it up.
1071
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,120
It's on the Fairfax County
record.
1072
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,600
It's right there and it'll tell
you what it's sold for.
1073
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:54,800
It's sold for in 1972 before
that for 72,000.
1074
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:59,320
So you can go and look, it's
funny how that is, that you can
1075
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,600
go track all these different
things.
1076
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,320
And that's just that you want to
look at my criminal record.
1077
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:07,280
You want to see you go to local
courts.
1078
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,160
You can look online for all the
different courts.
1079
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:11,840
Well, if you go to if you have a
product like the company needs
1080
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:16,480
to work for Lexus, they allow
you to pick all the courts in
1081
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,520
the country.
So if I move say 3 or 4 times to
1082
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:22,080
hide my criminal activity, which
I'm not going to tell anybody
1083
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,880
where I've moved from, they can
you can look at all the courts
1084
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:29,280
and see did he ever.
And then you got to worry
1085
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,640
because Phil Brown.
The cool thing about me is my
1086
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:35,640
name is common.
So you know, if it, if it was
1087
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:41,080
like Salvor Salazar Ala wishes
perplexity, Ala stupid.
1088
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:45,120
There's only one of them.
That dude stands out.
1089
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:51,440
But Phil Brown, there's, there's
like, I think there's 29 in
1090
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:54,320
Fairfax County.
Same thing with me.
1091
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,200
That's why I'm not worried.
There's more of me than there
1092
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,480
are even Philip Brown, I think.
Well, there's 11.
1093
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,760
There's 11.
Philip L Browns.
1094
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:05,280
And.
I'm a Philip L Brown, so I mean,
1095
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:06,640
really, it's crazy.
I don't know what the middle
1096
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:08,400
names are, but that was the
thing.
1097
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:11,320
I was like, Oh my God, there's
29 Phil Browns in in Fairfax
1098
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:12,680
County, and it's.
Like.
1099
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:17,920
I got relatives I didn't even
know so I'm going to start
1100
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,400
tracking them.
Well, on that note, I think
1101
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:22,920
we're at time here, right?
Yeah, we're going to track our
1102
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:24,680
relatives.
We're going to go track our
1103
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,400
relatives.
Thank you guys for listening as
1104
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:30,040
always.
Easy Look at the website.
1105
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:34,200
We have shorts up on there now.
Go check that out and we'll talk
1106
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:36,400
to you next week.
Yeah, don't buy Facebook.
1107
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:37,800
Don't buy Facebook.
Don't do it.
1108
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:39,720
Yeah, All right.
Bye.
1109
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:39,920
Bye.
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,520
Welcome back to another episode
of Record My Father.
2
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,080
Today we're going to be talking
about apps tracking you.
3
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,680
What's tracking you?
When are you being tracked?
4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,640
Pretty much all the time.
From what I understand, every
5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,440
time I go on an app, it says, do
you want to allow location
6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,040
services?
I say no every time, but then
7
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,320
chances are doesn't really work
that well, you know?
8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,000
Right, You have a you have a
phone, you get up in the
9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,080
morning, you, you, you when you
sign into your phone with your
10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,160
code first time, it knows where
you are.
11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,560
And from that point forward, it
will track where that phone
12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,360
goes.
Provide it could be you, it may
13
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,640
not be you, but if it's your
phone, most likely it's you.
14
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,880
And then you'll go and you'll
get in your car and then you'll
15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,360
drive somewhere.
And if you have one star, which
16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,080
is 1, and I know Tesla does it
and a lot of the newer models,
17
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,280
they track everything you do.
So they're tracking your
18
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,360
vehicle, your speed, all the
different things that you do.
19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,200
And they share that with people
if they're required to.
20
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,840
Like you never think about this.
But if I get in an accident and
21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,000
I'm speeding and you say, no,
he's not speeding, you subpoena
22
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,480
the the tracking records of the
vehicle that you were driving
23
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,360
and you can come back, you know,
and, and that then you'll see
24
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,440
whether or not he was going over
the speed limit, which if you're
25
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,840
speeding, your fault, right?
Allstate tried to do that to me
26
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,480
months ago.
They were saying, oh, do you
27
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:28,960
want to put that thing in your
car?
28
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:31,240
And I said no.
I said no, I don't want to do
29
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,600
that.
We'll give you a discount.
30
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,920
No, you won't.
No, you, yeah, you'll just hike
31
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:35,840
it up.
That's all.
32
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,320
That happens every single time
with that.
33
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:39,160
I know.
It's crazy.
34
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,720
But you think about like
Facebook, like all the different
35
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,680
when you, when you go into
Facebook, it's like I've got a,
36
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,600
a book of information that
Facebook collects about me.
37
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,520
And I mean all the pictures, all
my birthday, all, everybody I
38
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,560
connect to, what I say, what is
the, who I connect with, how I
39
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,400
connect with them, what is my,
my, my whole being.
40
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,400
LinkedIn has my whole
professional career back for 25
41
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,840
years, 30 years, 40 years and
everybody else's.
42
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,160
And it knows all the people I'm
connected with.
43
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,560
It knows everything that I speak
about and what I talk about and
44
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,680
how I put it online.
Instagram, if you post on
45
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,000
Instagram, they track every
single thing.
46
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,480
Messenger, which is a, the
Facebook Messenger.
47
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,680
They, they're really big on
that.
48
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,760
That's the reason I never put
the messenger on my phone.
49
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:32,680
Threads.
It's interesting when you look
50
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:38,880
at threads, the, the Meta app
shares 68% of collected data
51
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,480
with third parties.
So they're selling all that
52
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:48,160
stuff, Snapchat, TikTok X
WhatsApp, you know, when you do
53
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:53,440
the international phone calls
now, I don't know what they do.
54
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,400
Do they collect your voice?
Wouldn't shock me, you know?
55
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,000
It's all the AI wouldn't.
Shock me.
56
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,800
I mean, you know when you're
sitting there and you have your
57
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,160
phone next to you and we have a
conversation and we start
58
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,040
talking about baby diapers that
all of a sudden if you look on
59
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,920
Facebook, you'll see discounts
for the baby diapers.
60
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,960
Isn't that funny?
We didn't exercise in high
61
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:20,160
school during history class
where we basically said Nike as
62
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,840
many times as we could in the
course of I think of 5 or 10
63
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,280
minutes, and then everybody in
the class had Nike ads on their
64
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,440
phone.
I think that that was pretty
65
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,600
wild.
Yeah.
66
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,600
And so you weren't, you didn't
type it into anything.
67
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,920
You didn't do anything.
You just had a conversation
68
00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:36,200
while you had the phone there.
So that's tracking you.
69
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,160
Think about maps, where you've
been, Google Maps, where you
70
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:46,080
want to go, all that stuff,
YouTube, Google itself, every
71
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,120
single search you've ever done,
you know all the porn sites
72
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,520
you've been to, they know and
they know for how long.
73
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,920
So they know how how viral you
are and how often you're viral.
74
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,440
They do.
And I think the weird thing is,
75
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,480
is I never thought about this,
but PayPal, your financial
76
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,480
details, who you pay, your
browsing history, your contacts,
77
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,760
your device ID, Amazon, you
Amazon, all the stuff you do on
78
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,200
Amazon, all that stuff you buy,
you think about, I go to giant
79
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,200
and safe and I just go to
Safeway and they had those codes
80
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,280
that you put in to get a 5% or
7% off discount, right?
81
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,280
That tracks every single thing
you buy.
82
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,840
So you know, and as a marketer,
it's great because you think
83
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:35,400
about it.
I can, I know how long between
84
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,320
your your buys of toothpaste
are.
85
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,360
And I know when you're going to
buy toothpaste again pretty much
86
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,480
because you're going to use at
about the same rate.
87
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,480
So I know when to give you
discount coupons for a different
88
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,760
brand of toothpaste.
And you know what else I know
89
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,720
how to do?
I know your friends that use
90
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,040
that use my toothpaste and I
will send them a coupon if they
91
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,520
can get one of their friends to
use my toothpaste.
92
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,280
And that would be you.
And see, they triangulate that
93
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:03,680
way.
So you think about the way
94
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,800
marketing works, and it's like,
whoa.
95
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,480
So you, you, you know, the whole
idea of this free choice is
96
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,360
like, whoa, you know, the other
day said.
97
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,520
Capitalism is an illusion of
choices, and I thought that was
98
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,040
pretty interesting.
It's.
99
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,600
It's not a it seems.
Like it's becoming more and more
100
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,160
of an illusion every day.
Yeah, I mean, I, I, I, I now
101
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,440
like I'm, I'm a ranter on
Facebook and I go to sites and
102
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,600
just poke people and stuff like
that.
103
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:36,840
And I guess you're trolling and,
but Facebook in particular, it's
104
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:40,320
always been, you know, my
narcissistic release.
105
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,600
And you know, you post all the
different great things you're
106
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,480
doing because you're having a
wonderful life and nobody else
107
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:45,760
is having a good life as good as
yours.
108
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,800
So you post all the pictures on
there and you show all the
109
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,160
different things that you do and
all the different places you go.
110
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,000
And then every single one of
those they take and then they
111
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,320
sell them to other people who
then come after you and say,
112
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,080
hey, want to go to Spain?
Hey, want to go to Portugal?
113
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,440
Hey, want to go to Istanbul?
Hey, want to go, you know, and
114
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,880
of course all of these things
that I'm saying right now are
115
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,680
I'm staying in proximity of my
phone.
116
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,880
So I will see advertisements for
travel at the end of this, I'm
117
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:10,880
sure.
How do you?
118
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,320
Feel about your information
being sold.
119
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,400
Do you feel like that you
deserve to be paid for that?
120
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,520
I, I, I think so.
And I think Facebook is going to
121
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,520
get at some point where people
are going to, I mean, I'm kind
122
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,280
of at that point now.
I'm and I'm, I'm, you know, my
123
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:33,080
narcissism is, is going back and
forth with my, my need to not be
124
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:38,200
so angry at when, when you look
at that, it's like they give me
125
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:43,680
things that make me react and I
feel like a puppy, you know?
126
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,880
It's like they wanted 2016,
yeah.
127
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,840
You know, but it's, it's, it's,
it's really, I think it's really
128
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:54,840
amplified now.
I, I used to see and, and say 10
129
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:59,360
posts, I would see five friends.
And in the beginning I would see
130
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:04,680
nine friends.
Now I see like 1, maybe 2
131
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,760
friends on and 9 posts, 10
posts.
132
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,000
So it's really, they've really
jacked it up.
133
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,880
And all the other 9 posts are
things that you know, will trip
134
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,440
me off about a, you know, about
the political situation, about
135
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:22,040
the economy, the things that
they know that bother me.
136
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,360
And it's.
Funny that you mention that
137
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,640
because I took about a a week
off of Instagram here and I
138
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,520
deleted those apps, Facebook and
Instagram off my phone.
139
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,800
So I I just have Instagram and
Facebook on my computer now,
140
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:34,760
right?
Yeah.
141
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,320
The reason why I did that was
because I was vicariously living
142
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,280
through other people.
I wasn't living my own life.
143
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,360
And I think that that's really
frustrating.
144
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,160
And then you compare yourself as
well to other people and you
145
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,560
say, well, they're doing better
in their career.
146
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,680
Oh, gosh, what am I doing?
These things in my life are
147
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,240
taking too long.
This, that or the other.
148
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,640
And I can see gosh, on the youth
these days.
149
00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:01,920
I can't imagine feeling as if I
was not as good as my other if I
150
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,640
was in middle school or high
school.
151
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,440
That would be so frustrating
because you're already comparing
152
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,600
yourself at those ages to other
people.
153
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,760
But if it's just blanketed in
your face all the time, like
154
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,280
there was this thing going
around a while ago where it's
155
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,680
like, why are all these people
going on vacation when they're
156
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,760
2524 years old?
How could they afford this?
157
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,360
It makes no sense.
And it's like, well, their
158
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,800
parents, I mean, I mean, that's
what it is.
159
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,160
Their parents are are well off
or well to do, and a lot of
160
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,880
people forget that, that it's
not the the possession of their
161
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,600
own lives over their own domain,
but The Who, where they're from
162
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,360
and who their parents are,
right?
163
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,400
Where they happen to be warm,
you know, luck of the draw.
164
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,840
Well, that was like the Kylie
Jenner self-made first self-made
165
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,000
woman billionaire.
And I thought that that was
166
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,320
rather funny that her whole
family had no impression on her
167
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,520
life whatsoever.
She made her own billion
168
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,600
dollars.
And I'm like that's and I just
169
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,520
don't, well, you.
See it?
170
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,480
I mean, you're, you're in the
industry.
171
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,960
You see, you see it out there
where when you start to bump
172
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,960
into people and you see actors
and you start to see that, oh,
173
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:07,240
father was an actor.
Like, who is it?
174
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,800
Ben Stiller is Stiller and
Mirror was parents, so they're
175
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,200
heavily into, you know, and then
there's cousins and uncles and
176
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,160
relatives and, you know,
everybody's George.
177
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,160
Clooney's mother, you know.
Yeah, Singer.
178
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,600
Singer Yeah.
I mean, that's how you get in,
179
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,640
is you.
It's who you know. 100%.
180
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,520
You know they well, that's.
Also why people are bankers as
181
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,360
well.
Or I mean, if I wanted to, if I
182
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,440
could have done things
differently, I don't know if I
183
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,760
would have ever entered law.
But I mean, like, you were in
184
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,640
the law firm right field and
research information field, to
185
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,840
be specific, for 40 years.
And I mean, it would have been a
186
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,920
whole lot easier for me to go
into that field, I gotta tell
187
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:49,800
you that much.
Yeah.
188
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,360
Oh, yeah.
A recommendation from somebody
189
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,360
that has been doing it for 40
years.
190
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,400
And if, well, imagine your dad
was in that information or in
191
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,320
that field.
Tell you what to say when you
192
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,200
walk in the door to impress
them.
193
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,680
'Cause you ate lunch with some
guy one time and and that's
194
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,120
yeah.
Or you had a well, there's a
195
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,080
relationship.
There's back and forth because
196
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:16,360
I've cut up a bunch of people's
heads soft, so, you know, and
197
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,280
then they and they end up at
another, you know, at a firm.
198
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,040
And then my kid shows up and
they're like, Phil's good.
199
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,280
Yeah.
I think I'm going to kill this
200
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:30,280
guy, you know, figuratively,
Sir, not literally, but you,
201
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,840
you, you burn a path in the
ground.
202
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,960
And it can be a good one or it
can be a not a good one.
203
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,640
And the people that follow it
can they?
204
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,680
If they run into all the people
that love you, well, that's
205
00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:42,400
wonderful.
But they're going to run into
206
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,360
people that don't love you.
That's what I always worry about
207
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,480
when I make recommendations,
especially to like, what is it?
208
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,520
The big four, Big 5, If you go
to work for Thompson or go to
209
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:56,480
work for Relics or go to work
for Kluwer or go to work for
210
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:01,560
Bloomberg, I've had interactions
with hundreds of people at each
211
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:07,320
one of those organizations.
And by and large, most of them
212
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:12,600
are really good interactions.
But there are a few where I
213
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,240
disagreed with what people said
and I told them and that would
214
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,840
leave and they lost.
And when they lose, well, long
215
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:26,640
come you and I'm just living my
life to get even with Brown.
216
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,560
You know, I, I don't know if
people do that or not.
217
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:34,080
I don't, I don't have, like I
wouldn't, I wouldn't go after
218
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,880
someone's offspring that that
did me wrong.
219
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:45,480
You know, I, I don't, I can't, I
can't envision that or, or, or
220
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,640
their product was better than me
or they got budgeting and I
221
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,800
didn't.
I wouldn't, but I'm but I'm not
222
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,960
putting that past a lot of
people because I think a lot of
223
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:57,400
people would, you know, because
they would think you say you
224
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,280
have the same attributes and
you're just going to be a
225
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,040
loudmouth shit like me.
And they don't want that, you
226
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,680
know, so that that can be that
that can be, that can be very
227
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:08,480
detrimental.
Are we talking about?
228
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:13,680
To the, I feel like, I don't
know, narcissism is more
229
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:18,040
evocative than ever when this
kind of world and what I was
230
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,600
talking about in maybe a few
episodes ago, the Kali Yuga and
231
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,360
the the diminishment of moral
ethics and kind of this
232
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,200
understanding of humility is
just kind of disappearing.
233
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,320
Is what the fakery of it all,
too?
234
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,240
You know when you start to see
the fakery, you're like, whoa.
235
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,160
Well, if you asked me if I was
an old Western man from the
236
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,480
1800s, eighteen 90s, if snake
oil sales in the future, in 100
237
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,160
years, 200 years would exist, I
would tell you no.
238
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,360
I would say that snake oil is
going to go away, that it won't
239
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,440
ever be a thing anymore because
we will be able to figure out
240
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,440
those people and that they're
selling us lies.
241
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,600
But but in reality, it's it's
become the opposite and it's
242
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,440
snake oil is more common than
ever, I think in the world.
243
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:10,760
I think that people, maybe it's
our economic system and maybe
244
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,680
it's that, But at the same time
you look at famous communist
245
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:17,240
reigns and these have also time
and time again been full of
246
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,160
snake oil as well, right, 'cause
it's not really authentic
247
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,720
communism, it's more of somebody
that leads a communistic effort,
248
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,640
right?
It's not true communism.
249
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,720
Right.
You point you and it was as long
250
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,600
as you point to the people that
you can blame for your
251
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,680
shortcomings.
And that's what a lot of people
252
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:38,800
need because then they don't
have to do.
253
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,840
And, you know, reflection.
Yeah, you can.
254
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,880
You can sit back and say, oh, I
think the reason that I didn't
255
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,200
get to where I wanted to be in
business or I didn't get to
256
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,440
where I wanted to be in life, or
I never got to date the woman
257
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:57,280
was because they're all bitches.
Those guys are all Snooty Ivy
258
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,360
League people.
People are just out to get me is
259
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,240
and I've heard that a lot.
Well, that was your kind of
260
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,240
birth of the incel, right?
Right.
261
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,000
In the 20 tens, I think is when
we started hearing that term.
262
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,560
And now more than ever, it's
like we have a male loneliness
263
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:17,960
epidemic when in reality we have
two genders that don't want to
264
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,000
understand each other because
the propaganda that's put on
265
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,760
social media.
And I think that at the same
266
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,840
time, people look at themselves
and their social media profiles
267
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,240
in their lives and they say,
well, I'm too good for these
268
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,400
other people in this world.
I'm too, I deserve better.
269
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,880
And when there's a million and
one options compared to the 80s
270
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,640
or the 70s when you were really
just with your inner circle and
271
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,320
who you would see everyday.
Now your inner circle has
272
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,960
exploded into 1000 X and you
these random people that you see
273
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,360
on dating sites.
And then ever.
274
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,720
There's this ready access to 1
for adultery or for otherwise,
275
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,160
and I think that it's.
And then there's those with
276
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,440
completely different motives
that come in out of nowhere and
277
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,400
they're pods or bots.
You know, they talked about the
278
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,360
X the other day.
It's a week ago or two weeks
279
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,400
ago.
Where must turn on the location
280
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,000
of everybody replying, which I
thought like, wow, that would be
281
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,520
the coolest thing in the world.
If you saw everybody that posted
282
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,520
a meme, you wouldn't get their
name and the name's fine, but
283
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,240
you would pick like, you know,
country and province or state
284
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,280
just that.
And then and it turned out that
285
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:32,040
60% of the people that were
replying to a lot of the things
286
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:37,440
were from Russia and India, you
know, so 60% of the followers
287
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:42,040
that are saying what you want to
hear or don't want to hear and
288
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,920
remember, they're going to get
what, what the more people that
289
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:53,560
poke you and make you type
another line makes Meta, makes
290
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:58,080
Facebook, makes Instagram, makes
YouTube, make somebody money.
291
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:59,920
That's, that's it.
That's dead.
292
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:03,600
Internet theory and the idea
that the Internet is just
293
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,960
compiled of a bunch of people
that are bots and it's bots
294
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,600
talking to one another.
And I think that that is
295
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,000
extremely accurate and it's
actually proven.
296
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,520
There's a few of us in there.
But a theory it's it's.
297
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,400
True, yeah, the majority of the
things that are there and it and
298
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,360
it's, it's funny when you when I
talk to buddy of mine and we, we
299
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,440
go into Newsmax every so often
and post something derogatory
300
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,760
and that that we know will set
the people off and it gets me a
301
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:36,280
dozen responses like
immediately, you know, troll,
302
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:41,080
you know, you know, they, they
just come back with really
303
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,960
canned nasty responses and
you're just like, oh, you should
304
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,640
be dead.
I know done so much wrong stuff.
305
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,080
I should have been dead a long
time ago, you know, but it's,
306
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,600
it's, it's interesting on how
and, and that's what's shaping
307
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,480
us right now.
It's kind of and, and in a lot
308
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,560
of ways.
Are we going to get stronger and
309
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,800
realize that this is not the way
we want the future to be?
310
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:15,160
Do we want the future to be
where I can show you a perfect
311
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,400
pretty life online when in
reality it's not?
312
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:25,400
Or, you know, to 500 people of
which I know 8, you know, and
313
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:26,440
that's what I think about
LinkedIn.
314
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,240
I think I have like 500
followers or 1000 or something
315
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,920
like that a bunch.
You know, you're supposed to get
316
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,680
over 500, so it says 500 plus.
And that's what they tell you to
317
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,560
do.
So you, it looks like you're,
318
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,840
you know, one of those.
But you start to realize that I
319
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,960
don't, you know, I mean, I look
through them and I'm like, I
320
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,480
don't even know who these people
are and how I got connected to
321
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,280
them.
That's what happened to me when
322
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,760
I deleted the apps the other
day.
323
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,040
And I also did it because Denzel
Washington said something in an
324
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,560
interview the other day and sang
after Round Table and he said if
325
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,200
I was an actor coming up today,
I would ignore social media.
326
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,240
I wouldn't interact with it at
all.
327
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,160
I wouldn't put anything on there
but one that's extremely out of
328
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,960
touch, right, 'cause the way
that you establish yourself as
329
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,240
an actor is you meet a director
who's willing to put you in
330
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,640
things.
And really low level kind of
331
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,720
networking deals happen on
social media all the time.
332
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,480
I mean, artists meet other
artists and what have you.
333
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:21,440
Even larger companies such as
Adidas scout for creative
334
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,680
directors, scout for actors,
scout for other people on there.
335
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,720
But at the same time, what
people are missing is that you
336
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,760
need a skill in which you can
sell to people and which you
337
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,720
don't have yet.
So what he's kind of saying is
338
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,800
develop that skill to a point to
which it's actually sellable,
339
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,160
which is a great point, a
fantastic point.
340
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,920
But at the same time, you could
be the best actor in the world.
341
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,960
And if you can't sell your
skill, then you're not.
342
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:48,800
Nobody's gonna know you the best
actor in the world.
343
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,120
That's just what's going to
happen.
344
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:52,960
We ever seen anything about the
smartest people in the world and
345
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:55,880
usually like 20% of them are
homeless.
346
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,160
They're they're brilliant guys.
The guy that figured out, I
347
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,680
think the guy that figured out
string theory was 1 and that
348
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:08,360
they had AI saw some it it was a
meme and it shows them holding
349
00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:11,480
the book there.
And maybe this was just a slam
350
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:17,840
on higher education, who knows,
to get people to dislike and say
351
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,000
that it's not worth it because
that's a big, that's a big push.
352
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,440
You start to see that how people
talk about, yeah, you should be
353
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,480
an electrician and you should be
a tradesman.
354
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,840
You don't need to be that, you
know, and meanwhile, there's 4
355
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,160
billion people in line to be
electrician.
356
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:36,840
So get real, you know, so and
and it ain't easy and it ain't
357
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,760
easy to get apprenticeship and
it's not easy to work at it for
358
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:44,960
five or six or seven years
before you get anywhere and
359
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,360
where you can make a, a good
living, you know.
360
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,200
No, yeah, it does take a while
to become master.
361
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,040
I have a friend that's becoming
a master I think this year.
362
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,760
Actually, and most construction
trades your, your body breaks
363
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:03,480
down long before, you know, you
get you, you, you see this?
364
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,080
I mean, I saw it in concrete,
you know.
365
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,720
Well, same thing with brick
layers.
366
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,320
Yeah, brick layers.
So Oh my gosh, I couldn't
367
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:14,000
imagine being on my knees laying
bricks low bearing walls and
368
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,680
things like that.
Oh my gosh, That would be a
369
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,600
very, very hard work, but very
well paid work that is.
370
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,480
Huge forearms, man.
You get the Berkeley reunion,
371
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,480
you get, you get paid a good,
good wage to do good work.
372
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,160
You work 8 hours a day.
You don't work 12:14.
373
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,480
You get a break in the in the
morning, you get you get a
374
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,560
decent lunch and you get a, a
wage that you can support a
375
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,160
family with, you know, and
that's, you know, and I think
376
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,680
that he goes to who is it that
Bill Burr said that?
377
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:42,800
He said.
I think that if, you know,
378
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:48,640
somebody works 40 hours a week,
you know, every week they should
379
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,520
be able to live indoors and have
food, you know, and they should
380
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,320
have, they shouldn't have to
worry about whether or not if
381
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,640
they get hurt, that they would
go bankrupt and go out on the
382
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,400
street, you know?
It's.
383
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:01,040
Crazy.
It's not.
384
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,000
We're tracking, but we're now
we're into employment and stuff
385
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,720
and it's kind of funny like
that, isn't?
386
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,800
It it all kind of works
together, but I mean at the same
387
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,360
time.
What I think about too is when
388
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:15,040
you put things in your cart and
then you don't buy them, and now
389
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,840
algorithms are generated off
what people don't and do buy
390
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,680
just based on the Internet cart,
which is just such an
391
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,120
interesting idea.
So you don't go around and just
392
00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:25,720
put stuff in your cart and leave
it for fun.
393
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000
I do all the time.
And then you get and then you
394
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,040
get all these texts, emails and
stuff.
395
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,520
I try to bait the website, so I
do.
396
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,040
I say am I going to buy it?
Am I going to do it?
397
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,720
Am I going to do it?
Yeah, that's what I would say.
398
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,000
I get I get a bag of dildos, I
get a carton of cigarettes,
399
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:47,280
bottle of liquor, 500 oxy and
Star Wars movies.
400
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,880
Sounds.
Like what, what, what, what?
401
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:54,040
And a pillow.
A new pillow?
402
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:56,920
Yeah.
A new pillow and some luggage.
403
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,560
And a luggage.
Yeah, you got to get some
404
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,440
luggage, man.
I went luggage shopping the
405
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:02,800
other day.
Do you know how expensive
406
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,800
luggage is?
It's really expensive stuff it.
407
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:06,840
Depends.
Why?
408
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,240
Why is it so expensive?
You got to go to What's the
409
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,920
little Quickie Mart over here?
We went to Macy's and Macy's is
410
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,960
costly.
Yeah, and Macy's is not the most
411
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,440
expensive place for luggage.
It's really pricey stuff too.
412
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,200
It's like a small bag is $150.00
there.
413
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,840
What's the the one over here
that is.
414
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,000
It was next to the party store.
The party store, Yeah.
415
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,680
To me or something.
It's something, no, not Toomey
416
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,760
Toomey's really.
I mean, I have a little bag for
417
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,240
them and it's like 480 bucks,
but I have, I have had that for
418
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,440
12 years now.
I took it every week to New York
419
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,600
for 10 years.
So and I would roll that bag
420
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:56,640
from 30th up to 5th.
I mean from 28th to 30th, 30th
421
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,800
all the way up to the top 29th
and then go up to 5th Ave.
422
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,400
And then and at the end, the
last four years I was doing it
423
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,080
crosstown.
So I was going from 30th and 8th
424
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:15,520
over to 44th and 5th, which was
a is a long distance for those
425
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,880
that don't know cross streets
and and up streets and all that.
426
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:24,040
It was, it was a hoof, you know,
but hey, and the bag works.
427
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,000
The bag just it's, it always
zips.
428
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,400
It's always open.
It zips open.
429
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,280
It's easy, It's dented.
It's got all these little
430
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,560
scratches all over it and it's
like a huge green.
431
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,800
It was half off because it's so
freaking ugly.
432
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,800
It's just an ugly bag.
My wife's like, why would you
433
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,560
get such an ugly bag?
And it's like nobody has it.
434
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,040
When my bag comes off at the
airline, I know it's my bag.
435
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,840
I had a black bag I.
Had a black bag for about a week
436
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,120
and I was like, I don't want a
black bag.
437
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,200
Everybody's got a black bag.
The.
438
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,800
Blue suitcase I have now is so
common, it's crazy.
439
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,960
Everybody has like there's a
specific design for a suitcase
440
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,520
now that has like these ridges
on top of it.
441
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:08,280
Everybody has it.
It's.
442
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,640
Like potato chips, it's.
Crazy 'cause this blue one.
443
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,880
Ruffles on ridges.
Yeah, it's 100%.
444
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,160
It's a ruffled chip.
You ever have the all dressed
445
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,480
the Canadian chip?
It's like.
446
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,920
Paprika.
Salt, pepper, vinegar, all in
447
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,280
one one flavor.
It's one of the best flavors
448
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:26,120
I've ever had.
I.
449
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:34,040
Remember, Japan had fish.
Fish just flavored, Yeah, fish
450
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,600
flavored potato chips, which
were kind of nasty.
451
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,920
And I got AI got an interesting
what the heck was it?
452
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:45,240
It was another weird one, dragon
flavored and all sorts of weird
453
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:49,160
weird flavors.
Marilyn does crab chips now.
454
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,200
In the international market, you
can buy and they're from Korea.
455
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,440
When you get really weird
tasting chips, you know, like
456
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,840
sushi flavored chips and it's
like, what the Hell's a sushi
457
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,880
flavored chip?
You know, just just really
458
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,880
bizarre, strange stuff.
Yeah.
459
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,800
So we will see.
I hope to get some discount
460
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,240
coupons for the international
market now and sponsor us.
461
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,760
Sponsor us, anybody, sponsor us.
Our conversations are that good.
462
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,480
Sponsor, sponsor, sponsor,
sponsor.
463
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,400
That means I'll get a lot of
emails with sponsor on.
464
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,280
I get a whole lot more of those.
Got a ton of them.
465
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,760
You know, I notice that my, my
inbox is just tons of that.
466
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:33,600
And then everything is that
comes in and says following and
467
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:38,600
I never, I never checked it or
it says follow, follow, follow,
468
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,760
you know, in the upper.
Yeah, I was wondering because I
469
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,280
was like, who are these people?
And it says follow and it's like
470
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,240
some, you know, you know, Bilbo
Baggins follow and then he says
471
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,880
something that either you love
or you hate one of the other.
472
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,080
It's never, it's never like have
a nice day or take it easy,
473
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,320
dude.
It's not that.
474
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,960
It's always some you know,
political rant or economic rant
475
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,680
or foreigner rant, you know,
something or higher education
476
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:14,840
rant or stupid people rant or
gun rant or you know, you can
477
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,440
just the topics are all there.
There's there's 3040 topics that
478
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,400
immediately drive people crazy.
I think the most ridiculous
479
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,720
thing is LinkedIn influencer.
You got LinkedIn influencers now
480
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:32,920
and you got short form content,
IE reels on LinkedIn.
481
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,160
And I'm like, when did we make
LinkedIn such a cesspool of just
482
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:42,160
it's Facebook and everybody's
like, oh, I've my father killed
483
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,920
himself 60 years ago today and
that taught me to be a great CEO
484
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,360
And I'm like, this is keep your
private life out of your
485
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:51,120
professional.
Oh, I miss that.
486
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:55,160
I miss being able to separate.
Have any source?
487
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,160
Public from private.
Between your own identity and
488
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,080
then your own identity, 'cause I
firmly believe that that should
489
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,840
still exist.
Well, I, I love the ones where
490
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,880
they post something very
personal and they say that, you
491
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:12,440
know, what is it that you really
need to focus on your private
492
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,520
time and your private life and
you're thinking like, and you're
493
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:20,760
doing this in a business format,
so you're not doing what you say
494
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,080
we should do.
I always look at people that are
495
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,320
on there too, and they're trying
to write something really
496
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,360
profound.
But it was clearly just a prompt
497
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:32,720
on ChatGPT.
All of those posts with the kind
498
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,520
of, what is it?
Not the, oh geez, the bullet
499
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,440
point, but it's the dash.
And it's like if I was gonna do
500
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,840
top three things in my life #1
And it's all clearly ChatGPT
501
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,520
format, 'cause you see the
hyphenated things between the
502
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,920
words that aren't really
hyphenated, but ChatGPT throws
503
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,560
in these hyphens.
And yeah, I'm like, how lazy do
504
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,040
you have to be?
Made-up stuff Well, because it
505
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,720
it's, it's, it's a lot of really
cool ideas that are put together
506
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,080
that sound really good until you
start to go through them and
507
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,920
say, no, this is not true.
No, this is, you know, that's
508
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:15,120
where they come down to what is
it the ghosting or where is it
509
00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:17,320
ghosting?
Is that what they call it when
510
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,320
we saw when they make references
to things that aren't there?
511
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,200
Oh, I'm not sure.
Yeah, I forgot what that's
512
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,040
called.
I always love these people too.
513
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,920
They're like how to break into
the industry?
514
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,600
What I would do is I would do
this really renowned thing
515
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,160
called making my own project
with a small group of people.
516
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,040
It's not, it doesn't have to be
a lot of money.
517
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,440
It just, you know, you just need
to write something and you need
518
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,360
to make it with your friends.
I'm like, this is not a new
519
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,360
idea.
This is not a new idea.
520
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:50,400
Stop pretending like you are
this guru that has just figured
521
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,520
it all out 'cause you're not and
you're a snake oil salesman.
522
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,840
I hate those people so much.
I really, really do 'cause
523
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,920
they're just full of it.
They're just so full of it.
524
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,760
Yeah.
Yeah.
525
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,320
Well, I think that they're
they're looking for things that
526
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,480
are.
What do you call it?
527
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,640
I think it's generalizers career
advisor.
528
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,800
Hallucinations, that's what.
It's not ghosting, it's
529
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,280
hallucinations.
Interesting.
530
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,640
They, they, they.
Their tendency to generate
531
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,160
convincing but false
information, that's the problem.
532
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,160
You got a lot of that where it
sounds really, really good.
533
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,480
And I mean, I, it's funny, I was
in a product meeting actually
534
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,680
this year and we went through
that and they were talking about
535
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,480
these things that they were
considering.
536
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,160
And I was listening and I was
just like, did you do any
537
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,440
research on the market?
Well, look, it shows the markets
538
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,320
this and this and this.
And I'm like, that's not right.
539
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,600
What do you mean?
And then I proceeded to point
540
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,440
out some things to them.
And then they and then they
541
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:57,080
realized that it was wrong, You
know, you know, I mean, those
542
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,240
are the, those are the over and
over and over.
543
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:00,640
Yeah, I mean, lawyers are doing
that too.
544
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,040
They're they're they're having
responses to suits that are
545
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,200
coming against them and they're
throw it all into to ChatGPT or
546
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,240
perplexity or, you know,
whatever AI thing.
547
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,280
And then they get a response and
then they don't check it and
548
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,520
they send it and they don't use
their own legal intelligence to
549
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,000
realize that what they're saying
is horseshit.
550
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:23,240
You know Orson.
Welles did a kind of this little
551
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:27,080
one page essay on how to be a
great writer and it's broken up
552
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,240
into I think 10 bullet points.
And the majority of the bullet
553
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,720
points kind of summarize the
idea that just tell it like it
554
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:38,960
is, be straightforward.
And I think nowadays convolution
555
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,000
is so, so rampant.
Or you're trying to sound smart,
556
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,120
but if you just got to the point
to begin with, you'd be a whole
557
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:52,080
lot smarter than using, I don't
know, elongated phrases to say
558
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:53,040
nothing.
It's.
559
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,680
It's really, really frustrating.
They will come out with a good
560
00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:02,560
interesting idea and you'll say,
wow, plane to Mars, That's cool.
561
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:08,280
And then and then, but then all
of their supporting points are
562
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,760
you see 400 points that prove
that this is the greatest thing
563
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,560
since sliced bread #741 says
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
564
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,360
blah.
And you're like, that's not true
565
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,320
#421 that says blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah.
566
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,880
But that's not true.
And then you start to realize
567
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,120
that, you know, once you start
to look into it and you got a
568
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,240
lot of supporting points that
that you would, should do
569
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,520
something that, and these are
the points that support it.
570
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,880
And the points are wrong.
And once and and and it should
571
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,480
be that if you got one, if you
get once you get the two points
572
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,440
wrong, you should say throw the
shit away, do it over.
573
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,440
If you, if you're, if you come
to me and you say, Hey, I think
574
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,720
we can, I think we can start
this company, we can do this.
575
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,320
And I say, OK, So what makes you
say that?
576
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,640
It's like, well, because I can
pull a rabbit out of a hat, OK,
577
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:01,680
that's number point #1 #2 I can,
I can drive my car with no gas.
578
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,040
And then I say, OK, show me you
can pull a rabbit out of hat and
579
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,920
you're like, well, I don't know.
You're like, OK, you can't do
580
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,640
that.
OK, I can drive my car without
581
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,240
gas.
OK, prove that I, I can't.
582
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,080
OK, So no, your idea is not
good.
583
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,320
Or it may be good, but you, you
don't know how to support it, so
584
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,520
I don't want you to do it.
You know, something like that.
585
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,800
It's like it's so it's
interesting.
586
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,360
Meanwhile, you're being really
is.
587
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,280
Everything you do is being
tracked at all.
588
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,280
Times.
And it's and it, and here's the
589
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,920
thing, and this is the thing I
see a lot of there's so many
590
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:40,400
falsehoods coming out, right?
That are all these chat bots,
591
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,320
all of this information.
And now remember that all of the
592
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,480
the large language, the LLMS,
large language models that
593
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:52,600
Perplexity, Chatchi, BT, AI,
whatever, whatever model they
594
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:58,920
use, they're using the Internet
and they're using all of that
595
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,240
false information and they're
not.
596
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:07,800
Or even generated bias too.
Well, right, so, so if if if you
597
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:14,320
say you want to say that it's a
60% chance that the commanders
598
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,840
are going to beat the Cowboys,
which is really false.
599
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,760
They're they're they're going to
get slaughtered, right.
600
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:25,120
But what you do is you post 10,
you send out a bot and you can
601
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:26,640
buy these.
Now I saw these, 'cause I was
602
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,000
thinking about us getting
something to, you know, an
603
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,720
influencer that would influence
people to come to our podcast.
604
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:37,320
Very good idea.
And you can pay a fee and they
605
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:45,280
will have 3000 bots that you can
rent per month and each one will
606
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,600
post on 10 different sites.
OK.
607
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,440
Think.
About think about that number,
608
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:58,560
you know?
Exactly. 3000 * 10 per month.
609
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,200
And if you and if you wanted to
pay more, you can get 50, you
610
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,760
can get 100.
Well, if you think about it too,
611
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,920
Joe.
Rogan and Theo Von have all of
612
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,320
these weird YouTube channels.
They just come up and it's like
613
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:15,760
Pod highlight 123 or like
highlights for podcasts 201 and
614
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,480
like there's so many of those.
Same with Instagram that there's
615
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,840
a long time when you all I saw
on my explore page was Theo Von
616
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,639
Highlights, which was very, very
interesting.
617
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,920
They push it.
They push it and they they know
618
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,960
how to they, they pay the right
marketing engine to put their
619
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,440
information out there.
And that's the problem 'cause we
620
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,440
were in hopes.
That you will get pulled pulled
621
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:38,679
in to actually listen to the
thing.
622
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,520
I have never listened to a whole
Joe Rogan thing.
623
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,199
I have seen, I would say no less
than 10,000 of his shorts
624
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,719
easily, easily.
Same thing with Theo Von.
625
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,320
I've probably seen probably a
couple thousand of his.
626
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,360
But also, let's go the other
way.
627
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,960
Denzel Washington, you pointed
out earlier, I probably seen
628
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:03,000
3000 of his.
Even though he says nothing
629
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,360
about social media.
He is all over social media.
630
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:11,680
I mean his image, his his words,
his little shorts from movies
631
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,120
they are.
Everywhere.
632
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,840
And they came.
Out to be a wonderful guy.
633
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,920
But you know what he does too?
That he forgets he might have a
634
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,760
personal kind of thing with
social media.
635
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,000
Course he does.
His agent doesn't.
636
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,640
His manager doesn't the.
People that they know, they know
637
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:29,920
his.
Marketing team doesn't.
638
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,600
Their money is based upon what
he makes right?
639
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,560
So the better they drive his
name out into the and the more
640
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:43,280
parts that he gets and the more
options he gets, the more they
641
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,720
make, the better the image.
Precisely.
642
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:51,520
If they can sell his image, just
his image or his older image,
643
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:53,800
and they can sell that after
he's gone.
644
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,120
Think about what, what kind of
that's a, that's a, a Commission
645
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,800
in perpetuity for a dead person,
I mean.
646
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,320
Wow, a lot of celebrities make
more money after they're dead
647
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:05,560
too, which is really
interesting.
648
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,280
Well, it doesn't really do them
any good at that point.
649
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:09,680
I guess so.
We should kill ourselves, is
650
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,240
what I'm saying.
We got to kill ourselves.
651
00:36:11,240 --> 00:36:14,280
Tomorrow we can.
Try.
652
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,000
And then we'll get really,
really big.
653
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,760
That's what it's.
Yeah, but the there's a downside
654
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:19,960
to that.
What?
655
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,080
What is a downside?
You'll be dead.
656
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:23,960
Oh yeah, yeah, you.
Don't want to be dead.
657
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,280
Nobody wants to be dead.
Well, some people want to be
658
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,040
dead.
That's a sad thing.
659
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,880
Suicide's pretty high, yeah, we
don't need to talk about that,
660
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:34,080
but.
Yeah, well.
661
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,520
When you think about the way
social medias in the, in the, in
662
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,520
the way that like I think about
high school, like if I did
663
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,640
something wrong, I mean, I
remember I got in altercations
664
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,440
or things with, with two or
three people and all of a sudden
665
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,920
six or eight people knew it and
it was horrible.
666
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:57,080
I can't imagine if 3700 people
knew that size of this whole
667
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:58,600
school 'cause everybody would
know.
668
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,600
And there's a video of you
getting beat up or something and
669
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,720
it was.
Yeah, or me saying something
670
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:07,120
stupid, you know, which happens
every day, every second.
671
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,600
Yeah.
And if you don't like edit, you
672
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,680
don't hear the first 3 words and
the last three words.
673
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,480
It sounds worse.
OK, we do that all the time.
674
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,200
I think.
I think it would be, I'd be hard
675
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,840
pressed to find anybody that
does anything, doesn't do
676
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,160
anything stupid.
And that's why when you see
677
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,720
people on they, they say
something.
678
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,960
Who was it?
Kevin Hart, when he said that
679
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:35,240
and he got kicked off of the
Academy Awards because he said
680
00:37:35,240 --> 00:37:39,280
something about gay people
saying I wouldn't, I think.
681
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,080
He should.
I remember I, I do.
682
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,680
Remember that I wouldn't want my
kid to be a faggot or something.
683
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:50,400
Something silly, silly, bad,
wrong that he said 10 years ago
684
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,320
and he apologized and it was
gone.
685
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:58,000
And then all of a sudden here he
is to be, you know, the MC and
686
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,400
it comes up again and they're
like, apologize again.
687
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,480
And it's like, why?
I already did and it was already
688
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,360
gone.
Why do you, you know, I did this
689
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,960
10 years ago and they're like,
no, you have to grab more.
690
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,720
And you're thinking like, Nah.
And that's what he did.
691
00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:15,800
He had the balls to walk away,
which was kind of cool, but you
692
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,320
know.
Williams said something
693
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,520
something really interesting
about him, specifically Kevin
694
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:25,560
Hart, and he said do you
remember anytime before 2000?
695
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,040
I don't know, 11 Do you ever
hear of Kevin Hart?
696
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,720
You ever see a?
Stand he was chosen when you
697
00:38:31,720 --> 00:38:34,200
listen to Katt Williams, he
talks about all the people that
698
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,320
get chosen and they said then
they put him in a dress.
699
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,440
Black people in a dress got to
put you in a dress.
700
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:41,800
They wanted to, they wanted to
disintegrate you.
701
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,320
And he said every big black
actor that you can talk about
702
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,080
has been in a dress at one time
or another.
703
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:48,800
Like really?
And it's like, you just go
704
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:49,840
through and you're like, Oh my
God, I.
705
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,640
Could think of it, yeah.
Yeah, Oh, my God, they did that.
706
00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:55,720
Oh my God, they did that, you
know, And he said, it's these,
707
00:38:55,720 --> 00:38:59,560
these the, the muckety mucks at
the stadium at the audience.
708
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,760
And you listen to him and you're
like, whoa, he's, he's not
709
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,320
wrong.
Of course that happens for a lot
710
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,080
of people.
I mean, white people do it too.
711
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,800
They, they are all in dresses.
I don't know if they all have to
712
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,760
be in a dress, you know, and
many of them push back and say
713
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,960
I'm not going to be in a dress,
you know, and then, and then
714
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,360
you're tough to work with.
But I I guess that's.
715
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,840
Well, that's the thing that the
producer says jump, and then the
716
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,800
actor says how high?
Yeah, that's that's really what
717
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,880
it is.
Yeah, that's it.
718
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,560
Is the.
Director is the producer or the
719
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:28,800
director?
Director says it.
720
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,080
Producer and then director.
Executive producer first, right?
721
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:34,720
Yeah.
And then director.
722
00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:36,600
He has a silly idea.
But even the director's kind of
723
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,080
controlled, unless it's some
kind of James Cameron where he
724
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,040
owns his own kind of studio and
everything like that, like
725
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,600
George Lucas did, but.
They own soup nuts, Yeah.
726
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:50,120
Yeah, if it's not them that it's
the the EP or other people,
727
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:54,680
yeah.
Yeah, Opms, other people's
728
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,960
money, You know about money.
Yeah, it's good, but it's
729
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:00,560
expensive.
I mean, that's always the
730
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,640
problem with venture capital
when you think about it, you're
731
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:08,080
giving away, you give away a big
chunk and but they take a big
732
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,960
chunk of risks.
So that's part of it.
733
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:11,320
What?
One out of 10?
734
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,080
One out of 12.
Oh well.
735
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,000
Or home runs.
Was it really bad home run?
736
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,200
One of the walls are pretty
still pretty high, Yeah, but I
737
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,560
mean for the capital.
I mean you put you put
738
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,200
$1,000,000 in 11 companies and
they all lose it.
739
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,960
Yeah.
And they go belly up or they
740
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,720
drag knuckle or whatever they
do, you know, maybe a few of
741
00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:33,840
them break even.
And then one gives you $80
742
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:38,200
million back.
You're like, oh, not bad, you
743
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,200
know?
And that's the OR you have an
744
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,320
Uber.
You have an Uber that makes
745
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:42,960
billions.
Right.
746
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:48,600
That gives you 800.
Big difference, you know.
747
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,480
You destroy the cab economy and
people in foreign countries as
748
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,840
well, and they'll have to fight
for their right to eat and drink
749
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,320
water and.
Then the leader dude is just
750
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,560
just a horrible, it seems like a
horrible person for what they
751
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,360
the Travis Kappanak or whatever,
Not the football player guy.
752
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,840
The guy that was the head of
Uber would say misogynist, real.
753
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,840
You know, I didn't know that.
Yeah.
754
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:16,280
Yeah, very.
He got in all sorts of trouble
755
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:22,440
for saying things, doing things,
and they ousted him and kicked
756
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:23,680
him out.
But it's really hard to kick
757
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,360
Aceo out.
Who doesn't want to go when he
758
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,600
owns 20% of the company?
Yeah, we were a guy.
759
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:31,240
Yeah, yeah, he was.
So now he's coming back.
760
00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:34,240
They're giving him money again.
They gave him 300 million this
761
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:35,840
time around.
Didn't you see what happened
762
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,960
last time with SoftBank?
Like I don't understand how you.
763
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,800
He got out of that, they got out
of that and and that was the
764
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,840
dirtiest and most scummy thing I
I can imagine.
765
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,360
It reminded me of the Facebook
thing.
766
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,560
But that was Jared Leto's best
performance in the last five
767
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:56,680
years, 5 or 6 years.
Jared Leto was amazing in that
768
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,120
and and Hathaway.
That casting was phenomenal.
769
00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:03,400
But you look at that and you
watch that and you see how he
770
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,640
all those people were working
incredible hours and getting
771
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,920
bare minimum wage. 8090 hours a
week, yeah.
772
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,160
And they're that they were going
to options and the options are
773
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:14,360
going to be worth a ton of
money.
774
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:18,280
So he runs it till it gets to be
billions.
775
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:22,480
Then he breaks the bank by
risking going into foreign
776
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,640
countries and opening up, you
know, all this silly stuff where
777
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,480
he wants to have, you know, we
stink and we wash and we and all
778
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,160
these other well.
Who's buying these 20 year land
779
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,960
leases on rental properties?
It was like, it's the fastest
780
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,160
growing company of all time and
like but but not when you're not
781
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,040
making any money.
But money goes down.
782
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,760
Yeah, exactly.
And then when he lost it and
783
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,720
they were forced and they forced
him out, they're forced into
784
00:42:46,720 --> 00:42:51,760
bankruptcy, right.
So SoftBank cuts a deal with him
785
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:56,120
because he has voting.
He has some voting control and
786
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:01,440
they end up paying him hundreds
of millions of dollars and they
787
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,320
and the settlement to buy the
company out is he gets like 500
788
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,880
million or something like that
and they get a bunch of money.
789
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,680
They don't get even they're they
only lost like half of their
790
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,600
money or something like that.
But you know who gets nothing?
791
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,320
Employees, right?
They, they, they.
792
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,360
Stiffed all the employees that
worked all those years for
793
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,920
nothing and I'm just like.
And you know, I never didn't
794
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,320
even get paychecks either.
They got paid in stock only,
795
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:29,400
right?
And.
796
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,840
You had to work a side job just
so you could survive working at
797
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:34,160
this.
Point.
798
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,440
I'm sure people ended up
homeless because of that, yeah.
799
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,000
Because they weren't New York.
And it's like.
800
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:44,160
You see it a lot, a lot, a lot
where fast growing companies do
801
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,000
this.
Employees are become automatons
802
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,560
and you know, and they get used
and then they throw them aside.
803
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,400
You see it over and over.
I mean, I've seen it so much in
804
00:43:54,400 --> 00:44:00,200
so many different places that
you know, it's, it's, it's buyer
805
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,440
beware, you know, or worker
beware.
806
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,960
You can't.
That's why unions are good.
807
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,880
You know, you, you try to make
sure.
808
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:12,520
And, and because not everybody
is or when it comes down to
809
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:18,400
money, most people believe that
a dollar for them is better than
810
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,960
a dollar for you.
Or or.
811
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,240
They might give you something,
but they're only going to give
812
00:44:24,240 --> 00:44:26,160
you a little bit.
There's always the thing where
813
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,920
it's like, well, they don't know
how to spend that money, you
814
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,040
know, and they wouldn't.
Yeah.
815
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:31,960
They don't know.
They don't know what they would
816
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,640
do with that.
They don't know you give them.
817
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,200
$1000 they're they're set for
life.
818
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:41,400
And you're like, are you stupid?
You know, it just, it's, it's,
819
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,520
it's, it's sort of, I mean, you
saw the whole Zuckerberg did it
820
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,440
with the buddy that actually his
best buddy in college put him
821
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,360
up, put up money for it and he
sold them out.
822
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:54,360
I mean, he, he cut it, he, he
watered down his options and he
823
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,160
end up getting sued and he had
to pay the guy $3 billion.
824
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,840
But you know what, that was a
drop in the bucket.
825
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,520
And they're now, you know, it is
what it is, but it was the
826
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:07,240
dirtiest deal you'd ever seen.
He just, he just, he screwed
827
00:45:07,240 --> 00:45:09,760
him.
He screwed the Winklevoss's, the
828
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,800
Weworks guy screwed all the
employees.
829
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,280
And then those people are still
there and they're they're top
830
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,560
and they're pinnacles.
And it's like Jobs.
831
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:21,520
Steve Jobs did it to the number
four guy when they went public.
832
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,440
It was.
Yeah, it was kicked in at there
833
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,320
was him was and maybe it was the
number three guy.
834
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,320
There was a couple others that
yeah, it was.
835
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:33,960
Three or four and all the guys
after that didn't get any stock.
836
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,480
He wouldn't give them anything.
And they're like, why the hell?
837
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,720
Why wouldn't you share?
You're worth, you know, hundreds
838
00:45:39,720 --> 00:45:42,400
of millions of dollars.
It's no, you didn't sign an
839
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,440
agreement.
You know, I don't know what I
840
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,040
don't know what the reasoning
was, but I mean, I, I was like
841
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:48,960
God, you know, that's just
that's.
842
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,240
I remember this guy was going
into acquisition with Steve Jobs
843
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,520
for an app.
I can't remember which app it
844
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,160
was, but Steve Jobs was like,
yeah, we'll give you 200
845
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:58,360
million.
He's like, but the deal says
846
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,960
it's 5:50, so it's 550 million.
And and then Steve Jobs turns
847
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,640
around.
I was like, well, what if I just
848
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,560
banned your app from the App
Store and pay you nothing?
849
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,120
What about that?
All right, I'll take 250.
850
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,680
I'll I'll take 250.
I will.
851
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:13,760
Take, I'll take a half.
I'll take a half to please.
852
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,280
Don't that's the monopoly yeah,
that's see that's what everybody
853
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,640
wants they want to be able to
take my ball and go home.
854
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,520
Then I have complete control and
complete control halves I have I
855
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:27,160
can make unlimited money.
You know, that's like when you
856
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,960
see the, the, you know, the
people change the, they change
857
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,200
the rules of the game.
And we keep thinking like
858
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,800
capitalism's a level playing
field when it's not.
859
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,120
That's the.
The illusion of choices.
860
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,680
Yeah, the illusion of choices.
If you have a lot of money, you,
861
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,800
you, you have a, you have a much
better field.
862
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:44,800
Well, it's much better.
For you, that was what a lot of
863
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,800
people were saying for a long
time where they're like, oh, I
864
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,440
love a 24 movies.
They're so different and they're
865
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,360
so personally curated around a
hyper niche where it's like you
866
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,720
have these 4 quadrant
demographic movies that satisfy
867
00:46:54,720 --> 00:46:57,280
everybody and it's like, well, a
24 is owned by Disney.
868
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,400
So it's not really, it's just a
different mask that they're
869
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:01,760
throwing up.
Same with Searchlight Pictures,
870
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,640
owned by who is it, Warner
Brothers?
871
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:06,920
I mean, it's a smaller
production company to give the
872
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:14,640
illusion that it is this kind of
ornate ND type.
873
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,280
ND there we go.
ND type movie, man, we're really
874
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,960
laid back here.
You know, we got to get away
875
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:24,480
from the bad name.
I mean, that's, you know, and
876
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,840
I'm sure Targets going to start
open up different stores if
877
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,760
their numbers keep getting hit
for being wishy washy.
878
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,800
I mean, they're all they're all
they all do it.
879
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,120
They just, yeah, you know, you
got to figure out a way to make
880
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:36,360
money.
You know what I learned the
881
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:37,880
other day?
Target has like a year long
882
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,120
return policy.
You can return it without a
883
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,040
receipt for over a year.
It's crazy.
884
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,440
Some somebody that I work with
was talking about working retail
885
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,600
at Target, you know, yeah,
people would come in all the
886
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,960
time.
You had a used furniture like a
887
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:54,920
bed frame for a whole year and
then returned it.
888
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,680
Wow.
So and then I was, I was joking
889
00:47:57,680 --> 00:47:59,160
with him.
I was like, wow, I can't imagine
890
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,400
just going fully furnishing my
apartment, then returning
891
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:02,720
everything when I move out at
the end of the year.
892
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,160
Yeah, like 'cause it's kind of
just like it's.
893
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,080
What they would do, it's just, I
mean, people will do it.
894
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:09,520
Furniture on leaves.
I wouldn't do it.
895
00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:12,800
Even though I know and it's
like, I, I mean, I remember I
896
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,200
bought AI bought a pair of
boots.
897
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:23,800
I had a pair of boots from REI
and I, I trained from O5 and I
898
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:27,360
climbed Kilimanjaro with him.
I did the Inca trail with him.
899
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,600
I did Fitzroy and Torres
Delpine.
900
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:37,600
So and year five, I think I
probably had thousands of miles
901
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,600
on the boots.
The bottom was ripping.
902
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,760
So I go back in, I said I got a
new, new pair of boots, hiking
903
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:45,520
boots.
And the guy looks at them and I
904
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,560
have them in the back and I show
them to him and he goes, oh,
905
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:52,000
we'll just replace them.
What I'm like, no, I, I can't do
906
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:53,080
that.
He's what do you mean?
907
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:54,720
They're, you know, they're, it's
free.
908
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,040
They're defective.
And I'm like, no, they were not
909
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:01,400
defective, not in any way, you
know, and he's like, no, no,
910
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:02,920
we'll replace them.
I'm like, no, I, I want to buy a
911
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:04,680
new pair.
I don't feel, I feel like that's
912
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:09,080
stealing, you know, is weird,
but it was weird.
913
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,360
And they were really nice and,
and yeah, and I was like, and he
914
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,800
would, they would replace
anything that that it was messed
915
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,680
up or whatever.
I mean, I had my arc Terex.
916
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:24,000
I love them, but you pay nuts.
I mean, the arc Terex rain
917
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:28,920
jacket was 550 bucks and I wore
that thing.
918
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,560
I wore that thing up that
mountain up all every single one
919
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,400
of those trips I had.
And the zipper never failed.
920
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,160
None of the zippers failed.
Nothing like that.
921
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:41,520
It had just, it was perfect,
perfect shell just never had a
922
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,920
better jacket.
It was that light blue, you
923
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,200
know, so you can see it from 10
million miles away.
924
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:53,600
Well, Yub Yub decides to eat the
you have these things that tie
925
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:55,600
down and tie the headpiece down
to you.
926
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,400
You have the drawstrings.
She eats those off and then
927
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,720
chews off part of the the
corner.
928
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:05,000
And so I call, I send them a
message and they're like, well,
929
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,960
you can return it and, and it's
take pictures and we'll see if
930
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:11,040
we can repair it.
And I take pictures and they go,
931
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:14,600
well, we can't repair that.
You know, it's, it's, it's
932
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:15,960
eaten.
You know, I said, yeah, yeah, I
933
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,760
didn't expect so.
And they said, but if you return
934
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,480
it, we'll give you a second.
I'm like what?
935
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:24,480
They said you can return it.
You'll get a second.
936
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:28,000
And I'm like a second.
Does that mean you go poop on
937
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,840
it?
And you know, no, it's, it means
938
00:50:31,240 --> 00:50:37,120
they gave me a, a blood red one,
which I've had now for 10 years.
939
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:41,160
You know, I remember that and I
didn't feel bad about that.
940
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,360
I don't know why.
I think I I didn't feel bad
941
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:44,920
because I paid so much the first
time.
942
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,280
They honor the the return
policy.
943
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,160
Yeah, they really do.
More so than any other brand
944
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,960
I've ever seen other than like,
steel chainsaws.
945
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:53,640
Steel chainsaws also really
honors.
946
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,560
They're like, you can send a
chainsaw chain in you bought 10
947
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,360
years ago and they'll sharpen it
and they'll redo it.
948
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,840
Yeah.
Yeah, I love my steel.
949
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:03,640
Yeah.
They're a really small company
950
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,000
too, funny enough.
But they're good.
951
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:07,280
They're really, really good.
Very.
952
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,600
Small manufacturing facility.
In the in the olden days, for
953
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:17,080
one summer on the one day off I
had when I was working concrete,
954
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,080
I quit doing me in a gardener.
I started cutting wood.
955
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:26,720
We bought some Poulan Poulan
chainsaws, the 18 inch bars and
956
00:51:26,720 --> 00:51:29,800
we went out and we, we had a, we
knew a lot of builders and they
957
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,440
were taking trees down and we
would cut the trees down and we
958
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,840
would borrow Reed Foundations
truck.
959
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:36,840
And they had a flatbed that we
could use.
960
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:38,880
And we cut down a bunch of wood,
throw it on the back of the
961
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,440
truck, take it to his yard and
dump it and then sell it by the
962
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:43,360
cord.
Right.
963
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:50,600
Well, Oolan was just this
amazing chainsaw and then they
964
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:54,560
got a Home Depot contract and
Home Depot was like, we need 5
965
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,920
billion Mulans each week because
that's what we sell.
966
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:02,760
And now they're, they just the,
the, the quality's gone to shit.
967
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,040
And I think that's the, that's
the problem when they go into
968
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:09,440
the mass production, they can,
they can definitely keep the,
969
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,800
some parts of it are good, but
for the most part the quality
970
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,920
drops.
It's kind of like tracking, you
971
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,600
know, that's what I often wonder
about the tracking and stuff
972
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:18,440
like that.
We go back.
973
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:20,480
I'm, I'm trying to get, I'm
trying to circle back around to
974
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,240
that, you know, and I think
about one of the things I think
975
00:52:23,240 --> 00:52:26,840
about is DNA where they, where
people do this 33 and me and
976
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:30,080
stuff and how 20.
Three and me. 23andMe now that's
977
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:34,040
been sold and that data is now
owned by other people.
978
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:39,160
And the problem is, is that I
was reading about what those are
979
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:46,520
that those are called a quick
DNA and a quick DNA is is is not
980
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:50,200
an accurate DNA.
It's a pretty good DNA, but it's
981
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,440
not a really highly accurate
DNA.
982
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:57,040
So when you start to pull one of
those down and find out that,
983
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,880
hey, I murdered somebody over on
7th St.
984
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:05,520
Well, maybe not because it's so
inaccurate to the quality of the
985
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:09,000
DNA that comes up.
And so it it, it, it kind of
986
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,160
adds to me.
It adds to me when I think about
987
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,000
all the tracking and all the
information that's out there on
988
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:15,920
you.
That is it now.
989
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:19,480
I mean, you're certainly your
DNA is out there, you know, all
990
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:23,760
these markers that if you've
done that or if you've ever done
991
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,600
anything, any blood tests or
we'll think about what's
992
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:30,280
happening at the airports now,
all those things clear where
993
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:33,680
they do an eye thing.
You know, your eyes, your eyes
994
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,400
have been scanned, your face has
been scanned, all that stuff.
995
00:53:36,720 --> 00:53:38,160
You don't think that's not in
the public?
996
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:42,400
No, it definitely is.
Yeah, and that idea that they
997
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,160
ever remove records that you?
No, they don't.
998
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:50,920
No, you know, it's all that that
that information is readily
999
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,320
available and it basically what
it is.
1000
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,080
If you want to target somebody,
you want to sell them or you
1001
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,920
want them to think a particular
way.
1002
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:01,720
And you and I would believe that
we have free thought and that
1003
00:54:01,720 --> 00:54:05,960
people can't manipulate us.
But if you keep showing me
1004
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:11,480
something that over and over and
over and over and over, it's not
1005
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,040
too good to be true.
But it sounds like it couldn't
1006
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:17,000
be true.
But if I see it enough, I'm
1007
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:21,160
going to try it only because
I've been marketed to.
1008
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,240
If I see it and I see it in all
the different places and then
1009
00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:26,880
you offer, you come in and offer
me a coupon for it, I'm like,
1010
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,280
oh, OK.
Well, Zach says it's OK, but
1011
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,080
then they market to you.
And I don't know that.
1012
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,280
And then they mark it to my wife
and then they mark it to my
1013
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:35,520
sister.
And then they mark it to my
1014
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,440
brother and they mark it to, you
know, my dad, mother.
1015
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,520
And then they mark it to all
these different people.
1016
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,960
She probably doesn't do do
anything with the information
1017
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:44,280
they give her.
You think?
1018
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:47,080
No.
Probably not.
1019
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,040
Probably not.
Yeah.
1020
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,440
Well, I think the interesting
thing is we, we kind of covered
1021
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:58,920
how to, we haven't said anything
about preventing apps to track
1022
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:00,760
you.
You know, you can have settings
1023
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,760
and if you go to your iPhone
users, you open your settings
1024
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,320
there, There's a thing in there
you can toggle off allow apps to
1025
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,600
request a track and that will
prevent them from me even asking
1026
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,200
review the apps that you're
looking at.
1027
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:19,040
Do the same thing with Android.
Uninstall unused apps to reduce
1028
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:23,480
risk.
Prefer secure browsers, Firefox,
1029
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,400
Duck Go, Brave, Add privacy.
Duck go.
1030
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:27,880
Yeah, I think it's going to
become the future of.
1031
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:32,080
Add privacy tools like Ghostery
or U block Origin for more web
1032
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,880
privacy.
Reset your device's Idi mean you
1033
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:41,800
think every time you go log on
to to your every time you go
1034
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:47,200
into your your iPhone, you're
pumping in that number and then
1035
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,040
that number is used to get into
your Google Chrome.
1036
00:55:50,240 --> 00:55:55,360
So those two are linked.
You know a near unnecessary
1037
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:56,560
permissions is the biggest
thing.
1038
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,560
I don't when you see every
single time you go to a new
1039
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,880
website now, it's like accept
cookies, don't accept you don't
1040
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,400
have to.
No, you don't, and I've learned
1041
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,640
them recently.
Yeah, 'cause I often thought,
1042
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,160
well, I can't if you would.
I can't access it, yeah.
1043
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,400
But that's not true.
You just say no and and they're
1044
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:17,960
real weird because they will.
The really sketchy ones will say
1045
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:23,200
accept all or manage and manage.
You have to go in and click all
1046
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,400
the ones you don't want.
You're like, but if you go to
1047
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:31,000
the bottom of the page, it's
unclick all and you're like, Oh
1048
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,920
my gosh, we're going to sell it
to your old girlfriend.
1049
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,360
We're we're going to, we're
going to sell it to your
1050
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:39,840
neighbors.
We're going to, we're going to,
1051
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,560
we're going to give it to them
at a discount, you know, and,
1052
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,600
and to the banker and to the,
your future employer and all
1053
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:48,600
this other stuff like that.
It is kind of interesting how
1054
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:50,760
how much is out there and how
much you get tracked.
1055
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:54,840
I think that people are foolish
to think that they don't get
1056
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,480
tracked because I hear a number
of people say, well, I don't get
1057
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:58,480
tracked.
I'm like, you got a bank
1058
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:01,040
account, don't you?
Exactly.
1059
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:06,040
Well, all of your financial
transactions are done to buy
1060
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:09,760
things and sell things.
Those things are tracked.
1061
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:18,000
You know, unless you buy money
cards or whatever, those cash
1062
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:21,720
things, money orders and send
those in to pay your monthly
1063
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,600
bills, your online monthly
usage.
1064
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:27,080
I mean my power usage, you know
how much power I use?
1065
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:30,880
You know how much, how much
electricity, how much gas, how
1066
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,800
much, all that stuff.
You know I'm a light bill.
1067
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,960
You know, you can look up and
see what I paid for my house.
1068
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:39,280
You would know if you look, you
can look back to 1998 and know
1069
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,360
that I bought the house that I
live in right now for 645,000.
1070
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:43,640
You want to look it up, go look
it up.
1071
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,120
It's on the Fairfax County
record.
1072
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,600
It's right there and it'll tell
you what it's sold for.
1073
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:54,800
It's sold for in 1972 before
that for 72,000.
1074
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:59,320
So you can go and look, it's
funny how that is, that you can
1075
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,600
go track all these different
things.
1076
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,320
And that's just that you want to
look at my criminal record.
1077
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:07,280
You want to see you go to local
courts.
1078
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,160
You can look online for all the
different courts.
1079
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:11,840
Well, if you go to if you have a
product like the company needs
1080
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:16,480
to work for Lexus, they allow
you to pick all the courts in
1081
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,520
the country.
So if I move say 3 or 4 times to
1082
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:22,080
hide my criminal activity, which
I'm not going to tell anybody
1083
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:25,880
where I've moved from, they can
you can look at all the courts
1084
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:29,280
and see did he ever.
And then you got to worry
1085
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,640
because Phil Brown.
The cool thing about me is my
1086
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:35,640
name is common.
So you know, if it, if it was
1087
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:41,080
like Salvor Salazar Ala wishes
perplexity, Ala stupid.
1088
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:45,120
There's only one of them.
That dude stands out.
1089
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:51,440
But Phil Brown, there's, there's
like, I think there's 29 in
1090
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:54,320
Fairfax County.
Same thing with me.
1091
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,200
That's why I'm not worried.
There's more of me than there
1092
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:58,480
are even Philip Brown, I think.
Well, there's 11.
1093
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,760
There's 11.
Philip L Browns.
1094
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:05,280
And.
I'm a Philip L Brown, so I mean,
1095
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:06,640
really, it's crazy.
I don't know what the middle
1096
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:08,400
names are, but that was the
thing.
1097
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:11,320
I was like, Oh my God, there's
29 Phil Browns in in Fairfax
1098
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:12,680
County, and it's.
Like.
1099
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:17,920
I got relatives I didn't even
know so I'm going to start
1100
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,400
tracking them.
Well, on that note, I think
1101
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:22,920
we're at time here, right?
Yeah, we're going to track our
1102
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:24,680
relatives.
We're going to go track our
1103
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,400
relatives.
