Episode 140: Ethics
We talk about business and personal ethics.
1
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,160
Welcome back to another episode
of Record, My Father.
2
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,920
Today we're going to be talking
about ethics, business ethics,
3
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,600
and then I think also moral
ethics because I don't know, we
4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:18,680
were talking about this the
other day.
5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,800
They should, I think, intersect,
but go ahead.
6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,840
I think they, they definitely
intersect, you're right.
7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,880
And there's a depletion, there's
a depletion and there's a wait
8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,720
in this country that feels
heavy, I think.
9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,160
And I think that it's because
the lack of moral integrity that
10
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:36,640
day-to-day life just feels kind
of hard.
11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,840
I don't know what it is in any
sort of circumstance that you're
12
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,800
in.
Because going to different
13
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,320
countries recently, it seems
like that weight isn't there,
14
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,560
that the people aren't as hard
or as conniving as they are in
15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,200
the US currently.
And it isn't all for me.
16
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,680
It's it's for us, you know, I
don't know.
17
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,240
What do you think?
Well, I think that that that one
18
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:04,760
of the things I noticed is that
when you when you sit there and
19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,960
if if you see somebody that you
support and care about and have
20
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:15,040
voted for whatever and that
person does something abhorrent
21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:22,560
to you, that typically in
today's environment, instead of
22
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:28,200
accepting responsibility and
dealing with it, you will turn
23
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,880
and point to what somebody else
did.
24
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,640
Now, if I had two kids and one
kid threw a rock at another kid
25
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,600
and hit him and that kid turned
to me and said, well, my older
26
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,840
brother Zach did it.
I'd smack the shit out of him.
27
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,360
I mean, I wouldn't that wouldn't
be a good enough excuse.
28
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,200
But but somehow in today's, you
know, childless environment,
29
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,280
that seems to be OK if you could
just point to what the other
30
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,680
guys did because that means that
you're OK and you were like,
31
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,840
well, actually it doesn't.
You know it means that you're
32
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,280
both pieces of shit.
I couldn't agree, just one of
33
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,199
you.
I couldn't agree more.
34
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:10,560
Especially with people my age as
well.
35
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,360
I feel like I'm seeing a more
this is the way I am, I'm this
36
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,080
way and you just got to accept
it.
37
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,960
And or everybody else does it.
That's that will never help
38
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,360
anybody else other than myself,
because why would I, you know?
39
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,920
Right fuck that that is that's
just so selfish, nasty.
40
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,440
Whatever it is, I don't care.
I totally disagree with that
41
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,360
idea that we don't help our
fellow man, fellow woman, fellow
42
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,920
person.
You know, I just, that to me is
43
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:44,520
just it just, and I don't know
why.
44
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,760
I mean, you know, we were, we
were not helped by many.
45
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,280
We were helped by some growing
up.
46
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,720
But as far as like reaching out
and helping others is like a big
47
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,000
thing.
But we, I mean, we were talking
48
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,280
about ethics and I was really
excited about this because I
49
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,480
had, and I think ethics
something that is with you
50
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,200
throughout your life and you
have choices and there are many
51
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,320
choices in your life you're
going to have, and some of them
52
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,800
are going to be huge ethical
questions that are going to come
53
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,200
to you.
And it's going to be a moral
54
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,920
path that you're going to have
to take.
55
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,600
You're going to have to say, I
will do this.
56
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,800
And this means from now on, I'm
going to go in this direction or
57
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,960
I'm going to do this and I'm
going to go in this direction.
58
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,160
You know, because I, I remember
back in the 80s, you know, back
59
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,720
before anybody that listens to
this podcast was alive that we
60
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,160
had, we just started our first
business, Global Securities
61
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,200
information.
And we have one of our key
62
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,640
customers who was with us and I
would say probably responsible
63
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:48,480
for 60% of our revenue.
And he point blank told us that
64
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,400
since he was financing our
company, even though he was
65
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,880
doing, we were, we were like,
you're not financing a company,
66
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,040
we're doing research and you're
paying us for, you're paying a
67
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,200
going rate for the reverse
because we're the best research
68
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,080
in the field and we were the
best research.
69
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,280
And that was the key.
He's like, be that as it's May,
70
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,920
I think I deserve something in
return and I want to see cash
71
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,520
and I want to see it weekly.
And he said this to me because
72
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,360
I'm a pushover.
Everybody asks a question to me.
73
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,240
They always say, you know, hey,
I want to have sex with your
74
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,320
sister.
They'll ask me.
75
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,000
I mean, everything is all these
filthy, hard questions.
76
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,000
They come to me because I'm the
easy guy.
77
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,680
I'm the nice guy, right?
So I can go to my partner,
78
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,120
Richard Harrison.
Great.
79
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,640
You know, and to this day,
probably hard to find somebody
80
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,960
with that kind of level of
integrity.
81
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,000
And I have the same kind of
integrity and I, you know, he's
82
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,120
helped me, I've helped him,
whatever the case may be.
83
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,640
But I, I told him the scenario
and I said, I already know what
84
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,720
I want to do, but if I'm going
to destroy the business, you're,
85
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,680
you're the other half.
So I got to talk to you because
86
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,720
that's only fair.
And he's like, it's, there's no
87
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,680
question.
We, we, he, it's nothing.
88
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,120
And we didn't, I told him, I
said, now we can't, we can't do
89
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:02,920
it.
We're not going to do it.
90
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:07,960
OK.
He pulls off his services, our
91
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,880
revenue drops by half.
It's real tight.
92
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,200
And this is like end of year 1,
you know, we just started to do
93
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,640
a little bit of dovetail up.
So we're doing pretty well and
94
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,040
he kills us for like 2 months,
just nothing, no revenue, no
95
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,600
things and I saw him I'd see
him, you know, and, and, and no
96
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,440
other work that they were doing.
And it's it, it's this is a top
97
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,720
25 law firm in the world that
I'm talking about research
98
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,560
person had a research.
So not, not something down low.
99
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,440
He came back.
He came back and started using
100
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,480
US and there was no words
spoken, nothing came back and
101
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,120
just started giving us all his
work again because he realized
102
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,200
that we were the best.
We were the best in the field.
103
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,160
And people were coming to us
because we were better than
104
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,920
other services.
They were not coming to us
105
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,400
because, you know, they could
get craft.
106
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,320
And that was, that was a very
defining moment because if we
107
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,240
had done that, if we had started
paying him money for research,
108
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,440
we would have got caught.
And if we never got caught, we
109
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,280
would have to do it for other
people because it would have got
110
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:17,000
out.
You know, it's kind of like once
111
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,520
you pay off the mafia, you got
to pay off everybody.
112
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,600
You, you can't, you can't do it.
It's a line that you cross.
113
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,000
And once you cross that, you
know, and it's, it's you're,
114
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,520
you're done, you're done.
And that that's what we felt,
115
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,960
that it was better to have no
business at all then be under
116
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:38,920
the foot or under the thumb of
some, I don't know, piece of
117
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,160
shit.
But anyway.
118
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,240
Well I'm confused.
Can you explain this to me real
119
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,600
quick?
So he's using a subscription
120
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,720
based service, which is your
service, No?
121
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,600
Oh, he's not.
Pay as pay as you go.
122
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:51,840
Pay as you go.
OK, I need I need I need 310 KS
123
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:54,040
and I need their articles and
bylaws and I need it.
124
00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:55,600
I need it today and I need it
fast.
125
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,720
But he'd use.
Your service, but he wanted to
126
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,680
be paid in return for what
research though?
127
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,520
What was the research?
His law firm was paying our
128
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:04,760
bill.
Yeah.
129
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,560
OK, So he orders three
documents.
130
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,080
It's $500.
Gotcha.
131
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,880
It the law firm pays the 500 for
using our service.
132
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,840
He wants 50 bucks.
Interesting.
133
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,160
Oh, I see what you're talking
about now.
134
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,320
OK, I understand.
OK, I understand.
135
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:25,320
Now that makes sense.
We.
136
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,840
Had we had seen this?
Never to that degree.
137
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,920
I mean, I've had librarians push
me for heavy discounts and stuff
138
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,280
like that and you know,
whatever, but I don't, I
139
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,320
consider that part of the
business world.
140
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,840
I've had a, you know, push for
dinners, which we've, we've done
141
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,760
extensive, you know, $5000
dinners for five people, you
142
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,200
know, so we've done some amazing
things for customers, but I
143
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,120
don't but that, but that didn't,
I don't think that that never
144
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:57,200
changed what they did.
And another, I had another
145
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,280
ethical question came a few
years later.
146
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,040
We were online at the live Edgar
platform was all online.
147
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,520
It was being used and we were in
like all the major law firms and
148
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:14,880
we had top ten law firm partner
at that top ten law, which is a
149
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,720
big deal in a law firm if you're
a partner.
150
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:23,040
He was a senior partner and he
wrote us a letter and in the
151
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,760
letter, and he wrote it to me
and he wrote it to Richard.
152
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,760
He didn't write it to Nick, who
was the 3rd partner with the
153
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,680
technology guy, but we were, I
was the CEO and Richard was the
154
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,640
president.
So he wrote us a letter and he
155
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,640
said that he wanted us to donate
to a particular cause.
156
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,679
And I won't bring the cause up
and I won't bring the law firm
157
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,440
up because it would be
incendiary to do that.
158
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,440
You know, it's sort of like it
doesn't really matter.
159
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:49,280
But he was very clear in his
letter that we spend hundreds of
160
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:56,360
thousands of dollars with you as
a vendor and we expect and no,
161
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,480
and I expect you to support my
cause.
162
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,640
Please let me know how much
you're going to donate and win.
163
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,120
That's a big control thing.
Yeah, well.
164
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,000
You know, very odd.
Yeah, that was, that was very
165
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:16,560
odd.
Yeah.
166
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:22,560
Well, because he's implying
didn't say it, implying that
167
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:24,480
they wouldn't use us if we
didn't donate.
168
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:30,400
Didn't say it, just implied it.
You know, there are many fenders
169
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,280
in the field.
We use you to the tune of such
170
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,200
and such.
Never said we will switch if you
171
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,680
don't donate.
He didn't, he just had to.
172
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,240
He implied it all the way
throughout.
173
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:46,080
And this is this is not your,
this is not line research guy.
174
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,960
This is fucking leader in the
firm and this is a firm that
175
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,280
everybody that's in the legal
community would know the name of
176
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,920
if I said it.
And the cause is very big too.
177
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,400
So very scary, you know that.
And, and we sat there, didn't
178
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,320
answer the first one, then he
sent us another one like within
179
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,720
within a week.
And then we replied and said the
180
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,520
the global securities
information does not pick
181
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,840
charities for anybody.
And we don't do anything to
182
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,880
anybody.
And individually, we, we decide
183
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,280
our own charities on our own
basis.
184
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,080
We actually had to write a
letter and send it to him.
185
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,480
It was so weird.
You know, what was the reaction?
186
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,360
Nothing.
He just went away.
187
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,200
Oh, he stopped using the
service.
188
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,120
No, he didn't.
He never used it.
189
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,160
He never used it anyway.
He wasn't even in the, he
190
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,000
wasn't, he wasn't even in the
securities industry.
191
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,600
He was just, he was just shaking
us down.
192
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:43,760
He was a litigator, you know,
and it was like, but you know,
193
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,720
it is what it is.
He seemed to have the power, but
194
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,040
we were like, we're not.
And, and how do you, how do you
195
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,440
address that?
And that's something that that
196
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,440
I'm going to post when we post
this thing, when I post on
197
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,600
LinkedIn, I'm going to say I got
2 ethical questions.
198
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,320
If a, if a, if a person came to
you and said, pay me and I'll
199
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,360
use your services because they
have a big budget, would you do
200
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,720
it?
And the second question, and,
201
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,920
and if you wouldn't and you knew
it was going to hurt your
202
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,120
business, what would you do?
Listen to the podcast.
203
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,880
And then the second question is,
is if a senior leader at one of
204
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,080
the publications that that spent
a lot of money with you ask you
205
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,560
to donate to his cause, would
you do it?
206
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:24,000
Because those two things could
be pivotal.
207
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,000
And he could have accused us of
many things for not donating.
208
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,040
He could have vocally said a lot
of that.
209
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,040
We were.
The thing is, is in your mind,
210
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:37,760
when you're a small business and
a big, big named customer comes
211
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,920
at you, you, you can't.
You can't respond in a hostile
212
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,040
way.
You have to.
213
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:48,240
You have to sit and take it and
try to make it go away and
214
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,400
disappear as opposed to, you
know, you never whip out the
215
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,640
double fingers.
Fuck you.
216
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,560
Because once you just do that,
once you get into a fight,
217
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:56,840
you're going to lose.
Don't burn bridges.
218
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:00,480
Yeah, you can't.
So so we we, you know, and it's
219
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,720
it's a very, very both of those
were tricky.
220
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,400
Both of those in my mind,
morally and ethically were wrong
221
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,200
for those two to ask that.
Absolutely.
222
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,720
You know, we made the right
choice.
223
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,240
We could have been destroyed by
the first one.
224
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,640
We could have been semi
destroyed by the second one.
225
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,560
I mean, we've seen these things
play out where where a customer
226
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:25,880
gets upset about something and
tells the world, you know, and
227
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,000
they and they frame it in their
own way because he could have
228
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,320
framed it in his own way.
And, you know, he's a senior
229
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,560
partner law firm.
People believe him over us any
230
00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:36,880
day of the week.
And we knew that that's the
231
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,000
fear.
So we had to live with that fear
232
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,880
for a little while, which is
very, very stressful.
233
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,640
And those are those are my two
big.
234
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,360
I mean, I have many, many, many
other moral dilemmas, you know,
235
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:50,920
You know.
Well, that was kind of
236
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,240
interesting to just to bring
this up.
237
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,920
I don't know why I'm thinking
about it.
238
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,120
Was the guy that did Citizen
Kane, what was his name?
239
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,680
Orson Welles.
Yeah, there we go.
240
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,840
And he was in an interview and
they were like, do you regret
241
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,000
anything about your life?
He's like, I regret absolutely
242
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,560
every decision I've ever made in
my life.
243
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,880
And I've never heard somebody
say that because 1.
244
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,920
You have a lot of people that
say they'll lie and say, oh, I I
245
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,320
well, I don't have any regrets.
I don't have this, that or the
246
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,080
other.
But then you have a lot of
247
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,440
people that say, of course I
have some regrets, but they're
248
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,480
not really that's dying right at
like, my life wouldn't have
249
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,320
changed that much.
And then you have Orson Welles.
250
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,040
They regretted absolutely
everything.
251
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,280
And I think that that's
incredibly interesting.
252
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,640
And that's sometimes on a basics
basis of ethics, but also on a
253
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,520
basis of where your decisions
lie and where your interests
254
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:42,080
lie.
Yeah.
255
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,360
But you might, you might just
take that to the next level and
256
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,880
say that it's not about regret.
It's more like if all the
257
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,240
decisions I made, I actually
made the other side, then I
258
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,640
have, my life would have been a
completely different path.
259
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,720
What would have looked like,
right, 'cause he talked about
260
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,880
getting into movies and he was
saying I wish that I never did,
261
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,040
'cause it cost.
It's costly one.
262
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,560
And then also at the same time,
it's an interest that has
263
00:14:07,560 --> 00:14:11,120
consumed my life that I lost
relationships over, that I've
264
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,760
never really fallen in love with
anybody because of this
265
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,080
interest.
And at the same time, I want, I
266
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,080
think it was more of a wonder of
what that looks like of.
267
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,480
What of?
A different life, what it looked
268
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,960
like, 'cause have you mind you,
Citizen Kane destroyed his life.
269
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,000
It destroyed his life
completely.
270
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,720
He became a pretty huge drunk
after.
271
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,880
Cause the guy that that movie
was about went after him first.
272
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,080
Horribly.
Yeah, there we go.
273
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,720
William Randolph 1st.
And when?
274
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,200
After him?
Strikingly so after.
275
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,720
That well, that's what they
that's what he was brought
276
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,560
today.
If you bad mouth Trump, you get
277
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,760
in trouble and not only from
him, but one of his his
278
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,960
64,000,000 followers, you know,
you have to move.
279
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:02,360
It goes there's a huge backlash.
You know, many years ago, I
280
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,120
don't think that and the
presidents didn't attack
281
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,800
individuals.
So there's things like, I mean,
282
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,680
you know, there, you're like,
that's don't, don't want to
283
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,600
raise the ire, you know, because
think about every single thing
284
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,680
you do.
And if there's, there's tons of
285
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,720
reasons that the government
could look at you.
286
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,640
There's tons of reasons that
people that don't like you could
287
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,640
drive by your house and just
throw the trash in your front
288
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,560
yard.
There's, I mean just.
289
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,080
I'm worried about the security
state thing.
290
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,440
I think the on the basis of
ethics for that cause China has
291
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,680
it now.
It's called the Red List.
292
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,560
And they have such good facial
recognition software that if you
293
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,400
jaywalk or if you commit any
sort of like these misdemeanor
294
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,920
crimes that you can be stripped
from leaving the country.
295
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,840
I would.
That's a very interesting
296
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,680
concept if that were to happen
in America, because I thought we
297
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,080
were against this kind of.
Ordinal Well, they're, they're,
298
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,160
they're doing that.
They're doing that to a certain
299
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,360
degree.
And I was just reading an
300
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,000
article in Atlantic about a guy
that didn't realize a Canadian
301
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,160
and he wrote an article that was
not favorable to the
302
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,000
administration.
Crazy.
303
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,440
And he was coming into LA, He
never say anything about it.
304
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,120
Had his name wasn't I don't know
if his name was in the byline or
305
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:27,320
not, but the but the people stop
him at customs and say, you know
306
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,480
why we're stopping you, don't
you?
307
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,640
He's like, what?
You know why we're stopping you?
308
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,720
Why?
Because you wrote that article.
309
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,400
Wild, that is.
That's what we're doing in the
310
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,480
US right now.
We're stopping and, and
311
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:49,920
ethically for me, I don't really
care what you wrote about
312
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,800
anybody.
I may not like you or like you,
313
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:57,000
but that should not allow me to
control where you go and how you
314
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,720
go in my country.
You shouldn't have to love our
315
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,600
administration just to come to
this country.
316
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,680
That's just stupid.
We have such an obsession with
317
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,400
our Constitution as well, and I
don't know, under the 1st
318
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,599
Amendment.
Only when it's advantageous to
319
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:11,640
us.
Oh, I love that that's.
320
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,560
Great.
We're not, we're not obsessed
321
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,160
with the Constitution when it's
when it's against what we want.
322
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,119
Yeah, when the Supreme Court
votes against us, we're like.
323
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,880
Well, that was the whole Second
Amendment, the whole Second
324
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,640
Amendment thing that me and you
were talking about the other
325
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,200
day, that was about.
The well regulated militia.
326
00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:29,320
There we go.
Yeah, It's the right to bear
327
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:30,880
arms in a well regulated
militia.
328
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,920
It's not the right to bear arms
in each citizen because of the
329
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,120
Quartering Act, which was what I
was led to believe.
330
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,960
That is what really I was led to
believe was the Quartering Act
331
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,800
was enacted, which was to what
make so British soldiers could
332
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,840
stay in your house as as
colonists.
333
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,480
And the whole reason you had a
Second Amendment right was to so
334
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,040
that you could protect yourself
from them.
335
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,120
But I don't know where I kind of
drew that conclusion from.
336
00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:58,960
It's interesting, yeah.
Funny, but how's what's that
337
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,560
have to ethically?
When you look at your life,
338
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,080
you've you've had apartments,
you've had people, you've had
339
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:12,760
things.
What if you had like a a moral
340
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,880
conundrum come to you?
Not in the business really.
341
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,920
I I just paying people on time
is something that I've always
342
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,040
been big on, paying people on
time and paying people properly.
343
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,120
Personally.
Is something that I've, I've
344
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:27,800
been, I've been big on
personally.
345
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,280
Have I had a moral conundrum?
Not really.
346
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,280
I can't really think of.
So I'm sure I have, I'm sure,
347
00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:38,280
but not one to to really think
about right now.
348
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,640
I guess during when we were
shooting the movie, there was
349
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:47,160
something about these people
when we arrived and even with a
350
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,640
language barrier, it's kind of
funny.
351
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,880
It's very self-evident that
these people were kind of saying
352
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,960
in Mongolian that our story is
more important than those people
353
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,760
over there because they want to
be on camera and and being able
354
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,160
to visibly see that is
interesting because you
355
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,120
contacted this person prior to
say we're going to do the
356
00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:07,840
interview on her.
And then a little do do you know
357
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,320
that like the whole community
comes out and like, but she's
358
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,280
this, she's this, that or the
other.
359
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,640
She's not us.
We're the important people.
360
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,440
And it's kind of interesting to
read that even with a language
361
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,520
barrier is is because and when
they were explaining it to us
362
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:28,480
Even so you can read in between
the T line on your face, like
363
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,320
when people are lying to you.
I don't know.
364
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,720
It's very obvious to me.
Yeah.
365
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,560
And that is something that we
had to deal with and to kind of
366
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,880
construct more so reconstruct
the story a little bit while we
367
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,360
were there or not really even
that just what we're going to
368
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:46,800
shoot, you know?
Morals and ethics I think about.
369
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:52,920
I got another story Nationwide,
our insurance guy, Matt, Matt
370
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,040
Stone, really good guy, comes to
our, comes to our office when
371
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:02,520
we're growing and we're about 55
people and he goes, well, you
372
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,240
know, and I just got moved in my
own office.
373
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,800
I finally got I, we, they moved
us in our own office because
374
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,760
when I would sit down, we used
to be just an open air place.
375
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:16,480
And and I'm a known cusser and I
cuss and I cuss at the sky, and
376
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,720
I cuss at my computer and I cuss
at my phone.
377
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,640
And I don't cuss at people, but
if you're sitting, you know, 20
378
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,200
feet away from me and you're
psychotic, you you might believe
379
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,920
that I'm talking about you.
And we had people in the room
380
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,520
that thought I was talking about
them.
381
00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:33,080
And he said it's better that you
go in another room.
382
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,360
And also it was really, really
good because it helped us think.
383
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,120
It helped us jump past just
being researchers.
384
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:39,680
It helped us move to the next
level.
385
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:44,920
So I credit Eric with that, you
know, But anyway, the The thing
386
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,640
is, is the agent sitting there
and we're sitting across my desk
387
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,280
and he goes, oh, because you got
you got to go over 50 people now
388
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:52,640
because you know what happens
then?
389
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:57,880
And I'm like, what?
He was well, well, people are
390
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,440
like rabbits, man.
And I'm like, what?
391
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,600
And he said they're they're
procreating in this office now.
392
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,600
I'm like, what?
He said, well, they're not
393
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,680
probably not.
They're probably attempting to
394
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,440
everywhere.
And he's and he looks at me and
395
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,400
he goes, do you do you wipe your
desk off in the morning?
396
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,320
I was like, what?
And he goes, you need to start
397
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,800
doing that.
I'm like, what?
398
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,600
And he's like, yeah, they're, he
said this desk is the number one
399
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,200
place that everybody wants to
procreate on.
400
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,400
And I was just like, is that a
moral or an ethical thing?
401
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:34,920
I don't know.
I.
402
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,760
Think that that's funny?
That's coming from an insurance
403
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,160
guy.
Yeah, and that was the insurance
404
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,400
guy and I was just like, OK, I I
will wipe this down.
405
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,800
He said it's it's good to know
because you do not want to eat
406
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,600
your lunch on his desk after
somebody's ass has been on it or
407
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,800
or never said ass.
He he was like after somebody's
408
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,880
derriere has been laying here
and there might be something
409
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,920
left behind that would wouldn't
go well with food, you know, and
410
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,840
just something to that effect.
And I was just like, Oh my gosh,
411
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,560
the olden days.
Yeah, we had a we had a lot
412
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,320
that, that that's more moral
than.
413
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,440
And I don't know if it's it is
it unethical to have sex on the
414
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,440
boss's desk?
I don't, I mean.
415
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,160
I don't even know if that's
really a question of it.
416
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,880
I guess I.
Guess, I don't know.
417
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,160
It's, it's just like it's is it
a moral thing?
418
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,680
I don't, you know, is the thing
of power.
419
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,680
I can't, you know.
But there were many.
420
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,760
There were many, many, many
people that came to me afterward
421
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:34,720
and said, Oh, yeah, sorry.
Well, I think the world has
422
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,120
become so fast-paced that it's
hard to have any sort of
423
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:43,120
identity that's interlaced and
it's your own because I think
424
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:47,000
before, before the Internet, you
didn't have people projecting
425
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,480
different personalities that you
24/7 or as you go on social
426
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,520
media now.
And it's like here I am building
427
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,040
my new tower, Studio 2.
And then you swipe down and then
428
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,400
say, here I am, I love guns.
And then it's here I am, I'm a
429
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,120
book reader, here I am, I went
to here, here, here.
430
00:23:04,120 --> 00:23:05,720
And this is my life as a truck
driver now.
431
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,800
And it's like all of these
different lifestyles are
432
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,520
projected at you 24/7 that it's
hard to even identify your own
433
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,360
anymore of what you're you're
personally interested in and
434
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:20,200
what a pursuit of, I don't even
know, hobbies looks like for the
435
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,760
individual now.
That's very interesting.
436
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,080
Do you think that it's that you
allow the projection and that
437
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,080
you can turn it off?
It's an addiction.
438
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,200
It's become an addiction.
It is an addiction.
439
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,000
I, I would not argue with that.
I, I would not push away from
440
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,280
that.
And I see them trying to
441
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,640
legislate it a little bit and
there's huge push back in the
442
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,000
industry about, you know,
narrowing any reason or use for
443
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,480
the phone.
But I mean, it's like it isn't
444
00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:48,680
you, you know, I look at it too
much and I look at stupid stuff
445
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,120
way too much.
I go through periods where I
446
00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:54,400
delete Instagram because it's
just the reels.
447
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,160
The algorithm is too good.
The algorithm it's really good.
448
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,600
It's too, too good.
I can't.
449
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,440
I don't even want to know what
the algorithm is going to look
450
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,200
like for.
Five I go to Facebook and I and
451
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,120
I wheel through the 1st 3 or 4
posts.
452
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,160
Nobody I of course I know.
And then I go to the reels and I
453
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,200
go to like, and I watch the
reels and those reels are just,
454
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,640
they are addicted, the short of
reels, you know, and it's just
455
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,000
like, whoa, whoa, well.
It's cut for the three second.
456
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,880
Yeah, yeah.
They're the, they're the best 30
457
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,360
seconds of every movie I've ever
watched, you know?
458
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,520
It's like, whoa, there was this
comedian that was talking about,
459
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,000
he was on I think David
Letterman or something recently
460
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,560
and he was talking about they're
like, oh, what are you doing?
461
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,640
He's like, well I'm watching The
Godfather in three second
462
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,320
intervals on YouTube Shorts.
Exactly the reels for YouTube
463
00:24:42,360 --> 00:24:42,880
and it's.
Fun.
464
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,360
I've seen it.
I've I've watched, I've watched
465
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:47,600
pieces of that.
I've watched what's the Denzel
466
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,760
Washington one equalizer
equalizer where he goes through
467
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,680
and kills them all.
I I watch that.
468
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,080
I watch pieces of that probably
100 times.
469
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,600
I love that I would and I've
seen the movies.
470
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,440
I've seen them all, but here I
was watching little set things
471
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:07,240
there because essentially what
it is is it's hello.
472
00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:10,600
I'm a good person.
This is a bad person.
473
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,400
He's going to suffer and that's
what you see.
474
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,680
And he sucks and that's it.
It's it's very, very quick.
475
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,200
It's hello.
I'm a good person.
476
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,880
I'm getting he.
This guy's done bad things.
477
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:27,160
Here's his retribution, you
know, very, very, very quick.
478
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,560
And that to me is just, you
know, and it and just over and
479
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,080
over and over formulation.
Yeah.
480
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,320
Or Matt Damon when he goes in
there and he's doing the same
481
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:41,560
thing with, with his Bourne
movies and he's in there and
482
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,200
it's just, you know, cuz the
funny comedic long thing where
483
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,280
you got to tell a joke doesn't
work.
484
00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:52,000
If you tell a joke quickly that
shoots, then it's then it, you
485
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,280
know, and it hits.
It's stupid, it's silly, but
486
00:25:54,280 --> 00:26:02,360
it's short, you know, you know,
abject racism, you know, sexism.
487
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,200
I mean, some of that sells.
I feel like, you know, for me,
488
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:07,160
no.
It definitely does.
489
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:13,080
Morally, the whole sexual and
racial stuff bothers me, but I,
490
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:15,520
I, I, I can't, I, I would not
watch that.
491
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,800
I remember Meme showed me a
video the other day, there was
492
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,800
this cat on a motorcycle and it
was AI video and it was a
493
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,880
motorcycle with like a house
that was like attached to it or
494
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,360
something.
And it was like a cat house.
495
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,760
And Meme was just watching these
cat motorcycle AI videos for I
496
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,920
think it was like 2530 minutes.
And it's like, it's so
497
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,640
interesting.
I don't know to like for
498
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:42,000
somebody that grew up washing
painter's pants in lie in the
499
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,840
basement for her husband and to
watch, I don't know, to blame
500
00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:51,920
mahjong on an iPad and watching
AI motorcycle cat house videos.
501
00:26:52,120 --> 00:26:57,080
It's such interesting.
I don't know transfer of
502
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,760
identity.
I guess to say I don't know
503
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,800
transfer of.
Well, they have punched the
504
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,760
monkey now to do.
Have you heard about that?
505
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,920
Yeah.
I have heard, I mean it's
506
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:11,600
nothing more than a 32nd 12
second video where the monkey
507
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,080
gets bullied, he runs over and
he gets a little fake tuffy doll
508
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,680
and that saves him.
Well, the monkey his he was
509
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,840
abandoned as a child, and that
they gave it to him as like a
510
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,880
mother.
Get over it, a lot of people are
511
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,160
abandoned.
Well, that was the so, so funny
512
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,280
as I saw a meme that was like,
my life is 1000 times worse than
513
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,720
punch the monkeys.
That was a meme that I saw.
514
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,920
I was like, that's so.
Funny, my life is 1000 times,
515
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,360
but there's people going to
Japan now to see Punch the
516
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:40,080
Monkey and the lines are around
the Really.
517
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:41,680
Yeah.
And then I asked.
518
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,040
I was.
Last night we were coming home
519
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:43,440
from.
Dinner.
520
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,520
And I asked, I asked your mom.
I said, hey, should we go see
521
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,480
punch the monkey?
And she goes, I'm not going to
522
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,080
Japan to see a monkey.
And I said, well, we would see
523
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,600
other things.
Well, you would.
524
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,240
Go see the snow monkeys in the
north, which I wish I saw.
525
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,200
I wish I saw those guys because
they're weird looking and
526
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:00,560
they're really, they're really
weird looking.
527
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,600
Yeah, they look like monks and
it's kind of nice.
528
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,600
But she's very adamantly opposed
to Zeus.
529
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,200
I don't know when the monkey
gets its legs cut off because it
530
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,960
was abandoned or something and
it was a baby and then it needs
531
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,080
to be sanctuary because.
Going to be killed and eaten out
532
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:17,560
in the.
Wild.
533
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,000
It's either die, live in a cage
for the rest of your life or be
534
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,400
dead.
And so, I mean, some people
535
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:23,880
would say I'd rather be dead,
not going to lie.
536
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,160
But like when we were at the
Denver Aquarium and there was a
537
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,240
Bengal tiger in the Denver
aquarium, you remember that?
538
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,600
It just looks sad the whole
time.
539
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,720
And I was like, why is there a
tiger in aquarium?
540
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,160
Made no sense.
And I don't know.
541
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:41,840
That was interesting.
Well, they get hurt.
542
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:47,520
It's like when we went to the
aquarium at I mean, and that's a
543
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,080
good ethical question.
If you get a bird that is hurt
544
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,640
and if you put them in a cage,
he can live forever.
545
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,640
But if you leave him outside,
the crows are going to kill him
546
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,720
in an hour.
Owl.
547
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,800
You remember the owl when I was?
There we saw the owl in our
548
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,480
backyard.
We saw that and we went and we
549
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,280
picked it up, put in a box, we
took it to the vet and they were
550
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,800
like, it died.
Oh, did it died?
551
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,600
We didn't tell you that.
I just told you that right now,
552
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:12,960
Yeah.
You told me that it made a full
553
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,160
recovery.
I did.
554
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,080
I lied.
That's.
555
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,080
Crazy.
Actually, that's a crazy.
556
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,960
Thing that was a beautiful owl
and we picked it up, we got it
557
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,840
out of there, but it was a
really, really old owl and it
558
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,520
was just at the end of its life
and it, it wandered out of its
559
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,280
hole and, you know, in the, in
the dirt daylight crows were
560
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,200
hitting it, trying to kill it
and eat it, just like 20 or 30
561
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,760
crows.
And there was a couple of those
562
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,360
Turkey vultures around.
Remember it was crazy 'cause we
563
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,440
heard it straight.
But that's what happens in the
564
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,240
wild, you know, that's sadly,
you know, that's, that's what
565
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,520
they do is they, you know, it
dies 'cause it's old and weak
566
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,000
and they eat it.
Or if it's young and not not
567
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,200
fully developed, they you know,
that's, that's what happens in
568
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,080
the industry and that's what
happens to everything.
569
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,680
You know, you know, that's how
the.
570
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,600
Whole thing now too, is that I
think a lot of people run their
571
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,240
lives based on the animal
Kingdom and they're like, well,
572
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,120
if animals don't provide a
morality or ethics in their own
573
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,920
circumstances, why should I?
I'm an animal.
574
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,400
I'm I'm a an excerpt of a
monkey.
575
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,640
And fuck off, we pay.
Taxes and.
576
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,680
Fuck off.
We take care of your kids.
577
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,840
We take care of health care.
We take care of things.
578
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,840
Stop that.
That's that's silly.
579
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,720
That's absurd.
If you want to be.
580
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,080
Should I care about people?
We're just if you want to be
581
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,440
part of society, you need to
care about other people.
582
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,800
Sorry, that's just it.
I completely agree.
583
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,760
Otherwise, go live in the
mountains and leave.
584
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,600
Don't take any resources because
people say, well, I don't have
585
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,680
any kids.
We ride on the roads and you get
586
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,760
to eat the burgers that they
make and they're getting it and
587
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,720
they got educated by my dime and
your dime.
588
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,680
So they're going to be better
and better for society and make
589
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,200
you payless taxes later because
they're going to make more
590
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,480
money.
So think about it.
591
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,480
And and also it's the right
thing to do.
592
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:07,160
Leave the world a better place,
and if you can't leave the world
593
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,280
a better place, just the people
around you.
594
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,800
That's the one thing.
It's not that hard to just
595
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,400
stretch out and reach out to the
people around you and show them
596
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:22,720
that, you know, life is we.
We can have happiness and short
597
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:23,720
bursts.
We don't.
598
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,800
You know you can't always have
it all the time.
599
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,440
That's what I think Cub Scouts
taught me.
600
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,640
Leave No Trace and things like
that.
601
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,480
Yeah, I thought beating up the
guy.
602
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,760
Well, yeah, don't get caught
sexually.
603
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,400
Or something.
Children, either man, that was
604
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,120
crazy.
You see that come out a couple
605
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,440
years ago.
The huge string of Cub Scouts
606
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,280
that people were, or maybe it
was Boy Scouts, was a Boy Scout.
607
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,160
USA is dissolved because of
that.
608
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,800
Because of the molestation.
Wow.
609
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,600
Yeah, My gosh.
We had.
610
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,680
We had.
Sadly enough though, I I learned
611
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,320
a lot in the Cub Scouts, man.
We had one.
612
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,320
We had one in our midst.
We didn't know it.
613
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,760
And then he just disappeared.
And then I thought he.
614
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,360
Applied and you're like, well
why is the guy applying to work
615
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,080
with children if he has no
children?
616
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,840
That's weird.
There's, there's a lot of guys,
617
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,560
there was a lot of guys in
scouts that are that way,
618
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,120
that's, and then you start to
realize that maybe that's bad.
619
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,440
And, and like when we were in
the scouts, there was a guy that
620
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,160
came around and said he wanted
to take photos and the moms are
621
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,920
like, oh, that'd be great.
We would have CDs.
622
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,080
And when they do this, you're
like, I don't think that's why
623
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,520
we coming here.
Well, you know, what's
624
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,200
interesting too is I heard
about, you know, those I DS I
625
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,880
used to get when I was a kid.
It was the no child or it was
626
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,160
the missing children report or
something as a white card and it
627
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,600
had the kids ID on it.
Apparently that was funded by
628
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,320
Jeffrey Epstein.
Crazy enough.
629
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,280
Yeah, that he was interlinked
with that whole organization
630
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:47,760
because if you think about it,
it's so.
631
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,040
Then he can have a set of.
National interface with like
632
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,360
every child in America, every
child in the public school was
633
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,680
in that interface.
Isn't that funny?
634
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,160
Crazy.
That's crazy.
635
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,400
Oh my gosh.
Well, you'd want to look at them
636
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,160
in the poorest things in the
poorest area and that's what
637
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:06,280
they targeted.
Well, that was.
638
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:10,280
Like when we live right on the
bridge of Maryland and women of
639
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:14,320
color that were like teenagers
were disappearing on a weekly
640
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,760
basis.
On a weekly basis, they
641
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,160
disappear like that in Maryland
and they're like, oh, they're
642
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,600
all runaways.
So I'm like, you're saying that
643
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,560
there's 500 runaways like every
two months.
644
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,920
That's that's not right.
No, that doesn't make sense.
645
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,360
That's crazy.
That's all lazy.
646
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,120
To this work.
No, exactly.
647
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:33,400
They've never done anything
anyway.
648
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,080
They show up after the crime has
been committed.
649
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,080
It's a it's a wasteful job.
Oh my gosh, I did myself.
650
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:47,160
So as far as ethics, as far as
like, I feel that the way that
651
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,680
we perpetuate better ethics and
better morals and better, better
652
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:57,120
society as a whole is to emulate
them is to show them to others
653
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,400
in public and to do the right
thing.
654
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,680
And I think that we, you know,
over and over and over again.
655
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,880
And, and I guess basically what
I'm saying is I'm going to have
656
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,080
to sign off to Facebook because
I'm really a horrible person
657
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:08,600
there.
I need to take another social
658
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,760
media break as well.
It's it's exhausting.
659
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,239
It's it's very tiring because
then you feel like you have all
660
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,000
these options in front of you.
You're like, what should I do
661
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,679
with my life?
And then you do nothing, you
662
00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:19,760
know, like, I don't know.
It's really, it really is that.
663
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:22,719
I'll just smoke another joint
and sit here and think about it.
664
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:24,960
Yeah, exactly.
No.
665
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,560
It's well, it's also there's a
level.
666
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,199
Of Self importance in American
culture too, I think ever since
667
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,960
my generation, which was the
generation of participation
668
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,040
trophies since and self
importance as well.
669
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,880
And I think that there was a lot
of people that were saying,
670
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,560
well, you should go out and do
this 'cause they vicariously
671
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:48,480
lived through their children,
but even society more so it was
672
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,480
pushed not only through those
relationships that people had
673
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,040
with their children, but also it
was influenced by sports teams.
674
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,800
It was influenced by adolescent
sports, adolescent clubs.
675
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,480
You should always be the most
important person in the room.
676
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,520
And I think that that's where we
are now.
677
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,440
It's the society is that all of
these self important people grew
678
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,040
up and are now adults.
And they're self important
679
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:11,840
adults, you know?
Yeah.
680
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,520
Sad and you see it you see it
through the government, you see
681
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,480
it through Congress, you see it
through place after place after
682
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,680
place and it's you know, and we
talk about ethics.
683
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,040
It's like I, I, I see today that
it, it's OK.
684
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,760
There's too many things that are
OK today that wouldn't have been
685
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,640
OK five years ago.
Completely agree.
686
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:36,520
You know, there's just so many
things that are it just seems to
687
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:42,280
be openly taking money and doing
things that would would have
688
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,800
been three or four years ago,
five years ago, illegal.
689
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,400
It it's just, it's, it's just
one more thing.
690
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,560
It's, it's, it's there's not
enough time to deal with that.
691
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:52,680
We got to move on to the next
one.
692
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,280
The next.
One, there's no moral baseline
693
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,880
anywhere, anywhere.
Yeah, it seems weird that you
694
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,280
know, and it's not and and it's
the.
695
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,040
Absolutely.
That's what it is.
696
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:06,880
Has nothing to do with religion.
OK, not nailing the souls of
697
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,120
Christians on my feet is not
going to make me be a better
698
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,040
person.
It's not going to happen.
699
00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:17,040
I know a lot more people that
are evil to go to church every
700
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,080
Sunday than the people that
abuse drugs every Saturday and
701
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,400
Friday.
One day a week, you know,
702
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:23,200
religious.
People.
703
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,400
Yeah, yeah, those people are
very nice.
704
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:27,840
Yeah, Yeah, You don't.
I don't.
705
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,200
You, you don't.
I mean, I'm a firm believer that
706
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:34,480
you don't need it can help you.
It can give you a moral compass.
707
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,600
It can give you a direction.
It can give you a crutch,
708
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,760
something to lean on to make
your life better.
709
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,480
Absolutely.
But it's not a necessity.
710
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,600
It's not a necessity to be a
good person.
711
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,320
It's not a necessity to make the
right decisions.
712
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,600
It's not.
It's not, it's.
713
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,200
It's an institution that is
really projected.
714
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,560
If you look in these these third
world countries, the US being
715
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,400
one of them now or becoming 1,
you see these people that are
716
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:01,200
told, oh, don't work on your
life, just pray and life will
717
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,320
change for you.
And why do you think that these
718
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,960
nations have struggled with all
of this rampant missionary work
719
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:12,880
for so long and they haven't
been able to really advance
720
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,200
forward?
And it's because they were given
721
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,840
the belief that if they prayed
hard enough, the life would
722
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,600
change for them.
And if in the last 100 years,
723
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:26,560
200 years, it hasn't really
changed that much, the praying
724
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,040
hasn't changed and it hasn't
advanced their society.
725
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,920
So I don't know.
Well, they they've enriched
726
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,520
those that came to subjugate
them.
727
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,360
Exactly.
You know they've done well with
728
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,720
that and subjugate them with
religion and authority.
729
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,000
You know, you look at all these
countries and that's, you know,
730
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,720
religion was the lead lead to
get in to change everybody to
731
00:37:49,720 --> 00:37:53,360
make them non heathens.
And once they became that then
732
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,640
all of a sudden they were good
citizens.
733
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,480
But you know, there's the center
of pedophilia.
734
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,280
You know you're.
Like, wow.
735
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,480
Yeah, and all you got to say is,
oops, I'm sorry.
736
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,160
May I ask forgiveness?
God?
737
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,920
And then no, I, I would my
forgiveness would be a meat
738
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,800
grinder, but and I would have no
problem with throwing somebody
739
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,320
in chipper.
You know, at that point, you
740
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,800
know, as long as you can confirm
that they were the 1, you know,
741
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:25,960
that's the, that's the.
That's.
742
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,920
The issue you have now, you
know, it seems to be an
743
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,840
overwhelming thing.
No, that's.
744
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,160
We put you in jail for smoking a
joint, but hey.
745
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,320
California three strike program.
That was crazy.
746
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:42,560
We had that for a while where if
you get caught with any sort of
747
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:48,040
life, weight of marijuana or any
sort of things, it's life in
748
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,160
prison.
California three strike, my guy.
749
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,440
Yeah, I remember seeing that.
You know, it's funny, as I first
750
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,360
discovered that was an issue
when me and you were watching
751
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:56,920
Locked Up Raw.
Maybe I should have been
752
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,960
watching it when I was 11/12.
And there's a guy playing guitar
753
00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:01,720
and he's really good at guitar.
He's like, this is the only
754
00:39:01,720 --> 00:39:04,440
thing that I have.
I got caught with one ounce of
755
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:08,400
marijuana three times in 82.
I think it was 92.
756
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:09,920
It was like 10 years apart.
It was crazy.
757
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,640
And then like right before 2004,
which is I think when they
758
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,240
overturned it or something, or
maybe it was 2008 when they
759
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:18,320
overturned it.
And he's like, I have been in
760
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,680
prison for I, I think it was
like 20.
761
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:22,840
I don't know, something at that
point.
762
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:27,000
He's like a decade, over a
decade at this point, or 3
763
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,920
ounces of marijuana.
And I'm like, that's crazy.
764
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,680
And the weirdest thing is when
we decriminalized it, we didn't
765
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,920
release those people that had
been arrested for life in
766
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,480
prison.
Why wouldn't you?
767
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,840
I I don't understand that.
Well, it's 'cause they make the
768
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,680
state money, that's what they
do, right?
769
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,800
I I hate that we should talk
more.
770
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,000
We did the prisons once. $1000 a
person, yeah.
771
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:51,240
It bothers me so much that and
then their labor is free, you
772
00:39:51,240 --> 00:39:54,320
know, in some states.
California's a low pay state
773
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,680
which I think it's like $0.10 an
hour, but it's like why even pay
774
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,320
them at that point?
I don't really understand.
775
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:00,600
Exactly.
That's silly.
776
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:05,560
In Louisiana it's $0.02.
So I don't understand what are
777
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,000
you going to save up for what?
Well, I guess commissary if you
778
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,960
think about that.
But I don't even know what
779
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,840
prison commissary is like.
I think it's overtly expensive
780
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:14,360
if I.
Remember.
781
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:15,120
Really.
Yeah.
782
00:40:15,240 --> 00:40:17,280
Same with the phone calls.
You have to pay for phone calls
783
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,720
coming in and going out.
Commissary should be illegal as
784
00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:21,520
hell.
I don't understand that.
785
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,880
Yeah, that's crazy.
Makes no sense.
786
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:25,800
Well, what are we out of here
for?
787
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,720
Time.
Oh, we're at 57.
788

There we go.

789
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:35,600

Facebook, Instagram.
We now have all the socials.
791
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:39,640
It's crazy.
TikTok.
792
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,720
We have TikTok.
Now go look at the TikTok.
793
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,560
Ethics, man.
Do we have something else?
794
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,360
I don't know, Go go look at this
all platforms.
795
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,320
Now we need more.
We need more ethics.
796
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,800
Very thankful for the social
media team that has been running
797
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,320
our ship.
Thank you guys.
798
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,000
All right, bye.
Bye.
799
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:55,560
Bye.
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,160
Welcome back to another episode
of Record, My Father.
2
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,920
Today we're going to be talking
about ethics, business ethics,
3
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,600
and then I think also moral
ethics because I don't know, we
4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:18,680
were talking about this the
other day.
5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,800
They should, I think, intersect,
but go ahead.
6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,840
I think they, they definitely
intersect, you're right.
7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,880
And there's a depletion, there's
a depletion and there's a wait
8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,720
in this country that feels
heavy, I think.
9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,160
And I think that it's because
the lack of moral integrity that
10
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:36,640
day-to-day life just feels kind
of hard.
11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,840
I don't know what it is in any
sort of circumstance that you're
12
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,800
in.
Because going to different
13
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,320
countries recently, it seems
like that weight isn't there,
14
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,560
that the people aren't as hard
or as conniving as they are in
15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,200
the US currently.
And it isn't all for me.
16
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,680
It's it's for us, you know, I
don't know.
17
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,240
What do you think?
Well, I think that that that one
18
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:04,760
of the things I noticed is that
when you when you sit there and
19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,960
if if you see somebody that you
support and care about and have
20
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:15,040
voted for whatever and that
person does something abhorrent
21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:22,560
to you, that typically in
today's environment, instead of
22
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:28,200
accepting responsibility and
dealing with it, you will turn
23
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,880
and point to what somebody else
did.
24
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,640
Now, if I had two kids and one
kid threw a rock at another kid
25
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,600
and hit him and that kid turned
to me and said, well, my older
26
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,840
brother Zach did it.
I'd smack the shit out of him.
27
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,360
I mean, I wouldn't that wouldn't
be a good enough excuse.
28
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,200
But but somehow in today's, you
know, childless environment,
29
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,280
that seems to be OK if you could
just point to what the other
30
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,680
guys did because that means that
you're OK and you were like,
31
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,840
well, actually it doesn't.
You know it means that you're
32
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,280
both pieces of shit.
I couldn't agree, just one of
33
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,199
you.
I couldn't agree more.
34
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:10,560
Especially with people my age as
well.
35
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,360
I feel like I'm seeing a more
this is the way I am, I'm this
36
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,080
way and you just got to accept
it.
37
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,960
And or everybody else does it.
That's that will never help
38
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,360
anybody else other than myself,
because why would I, you know?
39
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,920
Right fuck that that is that's
just so selfish, nasty.
40
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,440
Whatever it is, I don't care.
I totally disagree with that
41
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,360
idea that we don't help our
fellow man, fellow woman, fellow
42
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,920
person.
You know, I just, that to me is
43
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:44,520
just it just, and I don't know
why.
44
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,760
I mean, you know, we were, we
were not helped by many.
45
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,280
We were helped by some growing
up.
46
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,720
But as far as like reaching out
and helping others is like a big
47
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,000
thing.
But we, I mean, we were talking
48
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,280
about ethics and I was really
excited about this because I
49
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,480
had, and I think ethics
something that is with you
50
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,200
throughout your life and you
have choices and there are many
51
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,320
choices in your life you're
going to have, and some of them
52
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,800
are going to be huge ethical
questions that are going to come
53
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,200
to you.
And it's going to be a moral
54
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,920
path that you're going to have
to take.
55
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,600
You're going to have to say, I
will do this.
56
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,800
And this means from now on, I'm
going to go in this direction or
57
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,960
I'm going to do this and I'm
going to go in this direction.
58
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,160
You know, because I, I remember
back in the 80s, you know, back
59
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,720
before anybody that listens to
this podcast was alive that we
60
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,160
had, we just started our first
business, Global Securities
61
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,200
information.
And we have one of our key
62
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,640
customers who was with us and I
would say probably responsible
63
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:48,480
for 60% of our revenue.
And he point blank told us that
64
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,400
since he was financing our
company, even though he was
65
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,880
doing, we were, we were like,
you're not financing a company,
66
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,040
we're doing research and you're
paying us for, you're paying a
67
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,200
going rate for the reverse
because we're the best research
68
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,080
in the field and we were the
best research.
69
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,280
And that was the key.
He's like, be that as it's May,
70
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,920
I think I deserve something in
return and I want to see cash
71
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,520
and I want to see it weekly.
And he said this to me because
72
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,360
I'm a pushover.
Everybody asks a question to me.
73
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,240
They always say, you know, hey,
I want to have sex with your
74
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,320
sister.
They'll ask me.
75
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,000
I mean, everything is all these
filthy, hard questions.
76
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,000
They come to me because I'm the
easy guy.
77
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,680
I'm the nice guy, right?
So I can go to my partner,
78
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,120
Richard Harrison.
Great.
79
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,640
You know, and to this day,
probably hard to find somebody
80
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,960
with that kind of level of
integrity.
81
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,000
And I have the same kind of
integrity and I, you know, he's
82
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,120
helped me, I've helped him,
whatever the case may be.
83
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,640
But I, I told him the scenario
and I said, I already know what
84
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,720
I want to do, but if I'm going
to destroy the business, you're,
85
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,680
you're the other half.
So I got to talk to you because
86
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,720
that's only fair.
And he's like, it's, there's no
87
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,680
question.
We, we, he, it's nothing.
88
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,120
And we didn't, I told him, I
said, now we can't, we can't do
89
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:02,920
it.
We're not going to do it.
90
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:07,960
OK.
He pulls off his services, our
91
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,880
revenue drops by half.
It's real tight.
92
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,200
And this is like end of year 1,
you know, we just started to do
93
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,640
a little bit of dovetail up.
So we're doing pretty well and
94
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,040
he kills us for like 2 months,
just nothing, no revenue, no
95
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,600
things and I saw him I'd see
him, you know, and, and, and no
96
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,440
other work that they were doing.
And it's it, it's this is a top
97
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,720
25 law firm in the world that
I'm talking about research
98
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,560
person had a research.
So not, not something down low.
99
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,440
He came back.
He came back and started using
100
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,480
US and there was no words
spoken, nothing came back and
101
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,120
just started giving us all his
work again because he realized
102
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,200
that we were the best.
We were the best in the field.
103
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,160
And people were coming to us
because we were better than
104
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,920
other services.
They were not coming to us
105
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,400
because, you know, they could
get craft.
106
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,320
And that was, that was a very
defining moment because if we
107
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,240
had done that, if we had started
paying him money for research,
108
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,440
we would have got caught.
And if we never got caught, we
109
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,280
would have to do it for other
people because it would have got
110
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:17,000
out.
You know, it's kind of like once
111
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,520
you pay off the mafia, you got
to pay off everybody.
112
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,600
You, you can't, you can't do it.
It's a line that you cross.
113
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,000
And once you cross that, you
know, and it's, it's you're,
114
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,520
you're done, you're done.
And that that's what we felt,
115
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,960
that it was better to have no
business at all then be under
116
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:38,920
the foot or under the thumb of
some, I don't know, piece of
117
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,160
shit.
But anyway.
118
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,240
Well I'm confused.
Can you explain this to me real
119
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,600
quick?
So he's using a subscription
120
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,720
based service, which is your
service, No?
121
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,600
Oh, he's not.
Pay as pay as you go.
122
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:51,840
Pay as you go.
OK, I need I need I need 310 KS
123
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:54,040
and I need their articles and
bylaws and I need it.
124
00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:55,600
I need it today and I need it
fast.
125
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,720
But he'd use.
Your service, but he wanted to
126
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,680
be paid in return for what
research though?
127
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,520
What was the research?
His law firm was paying our
128
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:04,760
bill.
Yeah.
129
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,560
OK, So he orders three
documents.
130
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,080
It's $500.
Gotcha.
131
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,880
It the law firm pays the 500 for
using our service.
132
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,840
He wants 50 bucks.
Interesting.
133
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,160
Oh, I see what you're talking
about now.
134
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,320
OK, I understand.
OK, I understand.
135
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:25,320
Now that makes sense.
We.
136
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,840
Had we had seen this?
Never to that degree.
137
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,920
I mean, I've had librarians push
me for heavy discounts and stuff
138
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,280
like that and you know,
whatever, but I don't, I
139
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,320
consider that part of the
business world.
140
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,840
I've had a, you know, push for
dinners, which we've, we've done
141
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,760
extensive, you know, $5000
dinners for five people, you
142
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,200
know, so we've done some amazing
things for customers, but I
143
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,120
don't but that, but that didn't,
I don't think that that never
144
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:57,200
changed what they did.
And another, I had another
145
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,280
ethical question came a few
years later.
146
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,040
We were online at the live Edgar
platform was all online.
147
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,520
It was being used and we were in
like all the major law firms and
148
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:14,880
we had top ten law firm partner
at that top ten law, which is a
149
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,720
big deal in a law firm if you're
a partner.
150
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:23,040
He was a senior partner and he
wrote us a letter and in the
151
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,760
letter, and he wrote it to me
and he wrote it to Richard.
152
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,760
He didn't write it to Nick, who
was the 3rd partner with the
153
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,680
technology guy, but we were, I
was the CEO and Richard was the
154
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,640
president.
So he wrote us a letter and he
155
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,640
said that he wanted us to donate
to a particular cause.
156
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,679
And I won't bring the cause up
and I won't bring the law firm
157
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,440
up because it would be
incendiary to do that.
158
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,440
You know, it's sort of like it
doesn't really matter.
159
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:49,280
But he was very clear in his
letter that we spend hundreds of
160
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:56,360
thousands of dollars with you as
a vendor and we expect and no,
161
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,480
and I expect you to support my
cause.
162
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,640
Please let me know how much
you're going to donate and win.
163
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,120
That's a big control thing.
Yeah, well.
164
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,000
You know, very odd.
Yeah, that was, that was very
165
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:16,560
odd.
Yeah.
166
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:22,560
Well, because he's implying
didn't say it, implying that
167
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:24,480
they wouldn't use us if we
didn't donate.
168
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:30,400
Didn't say it, just implied it.
You know, there are many fenders
169
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,280
in the field.
We use you to the tune of such
170
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,200
and such.
Never said we will switch if you
171
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,680
don't donate.
He didn't, he just had to.
172
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,240
He implied it all the way
throughout.
173
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:46,080
And this is this is not your,
this is not line research guy.
174
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,960
This is fucking leader in the
firm and this is a firm that
175
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,280
everybody that's in the legal
community would know the name of
176
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,920
if I said it.
And the cause is very big too.
177
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,400
So very scary, you know that.
And, and we sat there, didn't
178
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,320
answer the first one, then he
sent us another one like within
179
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,720
within a week.
And then we replied and said the
180
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,520
the global securities
information does not pick
181
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,840
charities for anybody.
And we don't do anything to
182
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,880
anybody.
And individually, we, we decide
183
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,280
our own charities on our own
basis.
184
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,080
We actually had to write a
letter and send it to him.
185
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,480
It was so weird.
You know, what was the reaction?
186
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,360
Nothing.
He just went away.
187
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,200
Oh, he stopped using the
service.
188
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,120
No, he didn't.
He never used it.
189
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,160
He never used it anyway.
He wasn't even in the, he
190
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,000
wasn't, he wasn't even in the
securities industry.
191
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,600
He was just, he was just shaking
us down.
192
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:43,760
He was a litigator, you know,
and it was like, but you know,
193
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,720
it is what it is.
He seemed to have the power, but
194
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,040
we were like, we're not.
And, and how do you, how do you
195
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,440
address that?
And that's something that that
196
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,440
I'm going to post when we post
this thing, when I post on
197
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,600
LinkedIn, I'm going to say I got
2 ethical questions.
198
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,320
If a, if a, if a person came to
you and said, pay me and I'll
199
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,360
use your services because they
have a big budget, would you do
200
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,720
it?
And the second question, and,
201
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,920
and if you wouldn't and you knew
it was going to hurt your
202
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,120
business, what would you do?
Listen to the podcast.
203
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,880
And then the second question is,
is if a senior leader at one of
204
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,080
the publications that that spent
a lot of money with you ask you
205
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,560
to donate to his cause, would
you do it?
206
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:24,000
Because those two things could
be pivotal.
207
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,000
And he could have accused us of
many things for not donating.
208
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,040
He could have vocally said a lot
of that.
209
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,040
We were.
The thing is, is in your mind,
210
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:37,760
when you're a small business and
a big, big named customer comes
211
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,920
at you, you, you can't.
You can't respond in a hostile
212
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,040
way.
You have to.
213
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:48,240
You have to sit and take it and
try to make it go away and
214
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,400
disappear as opposed to, you
know, you never whip out the
215
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,640
double fingers.
Fuck you.
216
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,560
Because once you just do that,
once you get into a fight,
217
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:56,840
you're going to lose.
Don't burn bridges.
218
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:00,480
Yeah, you can't.
So so we we, you know, and it's
219
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,720
it's a very, very both of those
were tricky.
220
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,400
Both of those in my mind,
morally and ethically were wrong
221
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,200
for those two to ask that.
Absolutely.
222
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,720
You know, we made the right
choice.
223
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,240
We could have been destroyed by
the first one.
224
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,640
We could have been semi
destroyed by the second one.
225
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,560
I mean, we've seen these things
play out where where a customer
226
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:25,880
gets upset about something and
tells the world, you know, and
227
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,000
they and they frame it in their
own way because he could have
228
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,320
framed it in his own way.
And, you know, he's a senior
229
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,560
partner law firm.
People believe him over us any
230
00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:36,880
day of the week.
And we knew that that's the
231
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,000
fear.
So we had to live with that fear
232
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,880
for a little while, which is
very, very stressful.
233
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,640
And those are those are my two
big.
234
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,360
I mean, I have many, many, many
other moral dilemmas, you know,
235
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:50,920
You know.
Well, that was kind of
236
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,240
interesting to just to bring
this up.
237
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,920
I don't know why I'm thinking
about it.
238
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,120
Was the guy that did Citizen
Kane, what was his name?
239
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,680
Orson Welles.
Yeah, there we go.
240
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,840
And he was in an interview and
they were like, do you regret
241
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,000
anything about your life?
He's like, I regret absolutely
242
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,560
every decision I've ever made in
my life.
243
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,880
And I've never heard somebody
say that because 1.
244
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,920
You have a lot of people that
say they'll lie and say, oh, I I
245
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,320
well, I don't have any regrets.
I don't have this, that or the
246
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,080
other.
But then you have a lot of
247
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,440
people that say, of course I
have some regrets, but they're
248
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,480
not really that's dying right at
like, my life wouldn't have
249
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,320
changed that much.
And then you have Orson Welles.
250
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,040
They regretted absolutely
everything.
251
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,280
And I think that that's
incredibly interesting.
252
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,640
And that's sometimes on a basics
basis of ethics, but also on a
253
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,520
basis of where your decisions
lie and where your interests
254
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:42,080
lie.
Yeah.
255
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,360
But you might, you might just
take that to the next level and
256
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,880
say that it's not about regret.
It's more like if all the
257
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,240
decisions I made, I actually
made the other side, then I
258
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,640
have, my life would have been a
completely different path.
259
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,720
What would have looked like,
right, 'cause he talked about
260
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,880
getting into movies and he was
saying I wish that I never did,
261
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,040
'cause it cost.
It's costly one.
262
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,560
And then also at the same time,
it's an interest that has
263
00:14:07,560 --> 00:14:11,120
consumed my life that I lost
relationships over, that I've
264
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,760
never really fallen in love with
anybody because of this
265
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,080
interest.
And at the same time, I want, I
266
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,080
think it was more of a wonder of
what that looks like of.
267
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,480
What of?
A different life, what it looked
268
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,960
like, 'cause have you mind you,
Citizen Kane destroyed his life.
269
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,000
It destroyed his life
completely.
270
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,720
He became a pretty huge drunk
after.
271
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,880
Cause the guy that that movie
was about went after him first.
272
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,080
Horribly.
Yeah, there we go.
273
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,720
William Randolph 1st.
And when?
274
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,200
After him?
Strikingly so after.
275
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,720
That well, that's what they
that's what he was brought
276
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,560
today.
If you bad mouth Trump, you get
277
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,760
in trouble and not only from
him, but one of his his
278
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,960
64,000,000 followers, you know,
you have to move.
279
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:02,360
It goes there's a huge backlash.
You know, many years ago, I
280
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,120
don't think that and the
presidents didn't attack
281
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,800
individuals.
So there's things like, I mean,
282
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,680
you know, there, you're like,
that's don't, don't want to
283
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,600
raise the ire, you know, because
think about every single thing
284
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,680
you do.
And if there's, there's tons of
285
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,720
reasons that the government
could look at you.
286
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,640
There's tons of reasons that
people that don't like you could
287
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,640
drive by your house and just
throw the trash in your front
288
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,560
yard.
There's, I mean just.
289
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,080
I'm worried about the security
state thing.
290
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,440
I think the on the basis of
ethics for that cause China has
291
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,680
it now.
It's called the Red List.
292
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,560
And they have such good facial
recognition software that if you
293
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,400
jaywalk or if you commit any
sort of like these misdemeanor
294
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,920
crimes that you can be stripped
from leaving the country.
295
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,840
I would.
That's a very interesting
296
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,680
concept if that were to happen
in America, because I thought we
297
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,080
were against this kind of.
Ordinal Well, they're, they're,
298
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,160
they're doing that.
They're doing that to a certain
299
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,360
degree.
And I was just reading an
300
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,000
article in Atlantic about a guy
that didn't realize a Canadian
301
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,160
and he wrote an article that was
not favorable to the
302
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,000
administration.
Crazy.
303
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,440
And he was coming into LA, He
never say anything about it.
304
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,120
Had his name wasn't I don't know
if his name was in the byline or
305
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:27,320
not, but the but the people stop
him at customs and say, you know
306
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,480
why we're stopping you, don't
you?
307
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,640
He's like, what?
You know why we're stopping you?
308
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,720
Why?
Because you wrote that article.
309
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,400
Wild, that is.
That's what we're doing in the
310
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,480
US right now.
We're stopping and, and
311
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:49,920
ethically for me, I don't really
care what you wrote about
312
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,800
anybody.
I may not like you or like you,
313
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:57,000
but that should not allow me to
control where you go and how you
314
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,720
go in my country.
You shouldn't have to love our
315
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,600
administration just to come to
this country.
316
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,680
That's just stupid.
We have such an obsession with
317
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,400
our Constitution as well, and I
don't know, under the 1st
318
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,599
Amendment.
Only when it's advantageous to
319
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:11,640
us.
Oh, I love that that's.
320
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,560
Great.
We're not, we're not obsessed
321
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,160
with the Constitution when it's
when it's against what we want.
322
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,119
Yeah, when the Supreme Court
votes against us, we're like.
323
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,880
Well, that was the whole Second
Amendment, the whole Second
324
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,640
Amendment thing that me and you
were talking about the other
325
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,200
day, that was about.
The well regulated militia.
326
00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:29,320
There we go.
Yeah, It's the right to bear
327
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:30,880
arms in a well regulated
militia.
328
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,920
It's not the right to bear arms
in each citizen because of the
329
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,120
Quartering Act, which was what I
was led to believe.
330
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,960
That is what really I was led to
believe was the Quartering Act
331
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,800
was enacted, which was to what
make so British soldiers could
332
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,840
stay in your house as as
colonists.
333
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,480
And the whole reason you had a
Second Amendment right was to so
334
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,040
that you could protect yourself
from them.
335
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,120
But I don't know where I kind of
drew that conclusion from.
336
00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:58,960
It's interesting, yeah.
Funny, but how's what's that
337
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,560
have to ethically?
When you look at your life,
338
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,080
you've you've had apartments,
you've had people, you've had
339
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:12,760
things.
What if you had like a a moral
340
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,880
conundrum come to you?
Not in the business really.
341
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,920
I I just paying people on time
is something that I've always
342
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,040
been big on, paying people on
time and paying people properly.
343
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,120
Personally.
Is something that I've, I've
344
00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:27,800
been, I've been big on
personally.
345
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,280
Have I had a moral conundrum?
Not really.
346
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,280
I can't really think of.
So I'm sure I have, I'm sure,
347
00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:38,280
but not one to to really think
about right now.
348
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,640
I guess during when we were
shooting the movie, there was
349
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:47,160
something about these people
when we arrived and even with a
350
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,640
language barrier, it's kind of
funny.
351
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,880
It's very self-evident that
these people were kind of saying
352
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,960
in Mongolian that our story is
more important than those people
353
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,760
over there because they want to
be on camera and and being able
354
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,160
to visibly see that is
interesting because you
355
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,120
contacted this person prior to
say we're going to do the
356
00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:07,840
interview on her.
And then a little do do you know
357
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,320
that like the whole community
comes out and like, but she's
358
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,280
this, she's this, that or the
other.
359
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,640
She's not us.
We're the important people.
360
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,440
And it's kind of interesting to
read that even with a language
361
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,520
barrier is is because and when
they were explaining it to us
362
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:28,480
Even so you can read in between
the T line on your face, like
363
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,320
when people are lying to you.
I don't know.
364
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,720
It's very obvious to me.
Yeah.
365
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,560
And that is something that we
had to deal with and to kind of
366
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,880
construct more so reconstruct
the story a little bit while we
367
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,360
were there or not really even
that just what we're going to
368
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:46,800
shoot, you know?
Morals and ethics I think about.
369
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:52,920
I got another story Nationwide,
our insurance guy, Matt, Matt
370
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,040
Stone, really good guy, comes to
our, comes to our office when
371
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:02,520
we're growing and we're about 55
people and he goes, well, you
372
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,240
know, and I just got moved in my
own office.
373
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,800
I finally got I, we, they moved
us in our own office because
374
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,760
when I would sit down, we used
to be just an open air place.
375
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:16,480
And and I'm a known cusser and I
cuss and I cuss at the sky, and
376
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,720
I cuss at my computer and I cuss
at my phone.
377
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,640
And I don't cuss at people, but
if you're sitting, you know, 20
378
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,200
feet away from me and you're
psychotic, you you might believe
379
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,920
that I'm talking about you.
And we had people in the room
380
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,520
that thought I was talking about
them.
381
00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:33,080
And he said it's better that you
go in another room.
382
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,360
And also it was really, really
good because it helped us think.
383
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,120
It helped us jump past just
being researchers.
384
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:39,680
It helped us move to the next
level.
385
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:44,920
So I credit Eric with that, you
know, But anyway, the The thing
386
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,640
is, is the agent sitting there
and we're sitting across my desk
387
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,280
and he goes, oh, because you got
you got to go over 50 people now
388
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:52,640
because you know what happens
then?
389
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:57,880
And I'm like, what?
He was well, well, people are
390
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,440
like rabbits, man.
And I'm like, what?
391
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,600
And he said they're they're
procreating in this office now.
392
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,600
I'm like, what?
He said, well, they're not
393
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,680
probably not.
They're probably attempting to
394
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,440
everywhere.
And he's and he looks at me and
395
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,400
he goes, do you do you wipe your
desk off in the morning?
396
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,320
I was like, what?
And he goes, you need to start
397
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,800
doing that.
I'm like, what?
398
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,600
And he's like, yeah, they're, he
said this desk is the number one
399
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,200
place that everybody wants to
procreate on.
400
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,400
And I was just like, is that a
moral or an ethical thing?
401
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:34,920
I don't know.
I.
402
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,760
Think that that's funny?
That's coming from an insurance
403
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,160
guy.
Yeah, and that was the insurance
404
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,400
guy and I was just like, OK, I I
will wipe this down.
405
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,800
He said it's it's good to know
because you do not want to eat
406
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,600
your lunch on his desk after
somebody's ass has been on it or
407
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,800
or never said ass.
He he was like after somebody's
408
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,880
derriere has been laying here
and there might be something
409
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,920
left behind that would wouldn't
go well with food, you know, and
410
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,840
just something to that effect.
And I was just like, Oh my gosh,
411
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,560
the olden days.
Yeah, we had a we had a lot
412
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,320
that, that that's more moral
than.
413
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,440
And I don't know if it's it is
it unethical to have sex on the
414
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,440
boss's desk?
I don't, I mean.
415
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,160
I don't even know if that's
really a question of it.
416
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,880
I guess I.
Guess, I don't know.
417
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,160
It's, it's just like it's is it
a moral thing?
418
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,680
I don't, you know, is the thing
of power.
419
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,680
I can't, you know.
But there were many.
420
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,760
There were many, many, many
people that came to me afterward
421
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:34,720
and said, Oh, yeah, sorry.
Well, I think the world has
422
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,120
become so fast-paced that it's
hard to have any sort of
423
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:43,120
identity that's interlaced and
it's your own because I think
424
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:47,000
before, before the Internet, you
didn't have people projecting
425
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,480
different personalities that you
24/7 or as you go on social
426
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,520
media now.
And it's like here I am building
427
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,040
my new tower, Studio 2.
And then you swipe down and then
428
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,400
say, here I am, I love guns.
And then it's here I am, I'm a
429
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,120
book reader, here I am, I went
to here, here, here.
430
00:23:04,120 --> 00:23:05,720
And this is my life as a truck
driver now.
431
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,800
And it's like all of these
different lifestyles are
432
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,520
projected at you 24/7 that it's
hard to even identify your own
433
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,360
anymore of what you're you're
personally interested in and
434
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:20,200
what a pursuit of, I don't even
know, hobbies looks like for the
435
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,760
individual now.
That's very interesting.
436
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,080
Do you think that it's that you
allow the projection and that
437
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,080
you can turn it off?
It's an addiction.
438
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,200
It's become an addiction.
It is an addiction.
439
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,000
I, I would not argue with that.
I, I would not push away from
440
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,280
that.
And I see them trying to
441
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,640
legislate it a little bit and
there's huge push back in the
442
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,000
industry about, you know,
narrowing any reason or use for
443
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,480
the phone.
But I mean, it's like it isn't
444
00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:48,680
you, you know, I look at it too
much and I look at stupid stuff
445
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,120
way too much.
I go through periods where I
446
00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:54,400
delete Instagram because it's
just the reels.
447
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,160
The algorithm is too good.
The algorithm it's really good.
448
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,600
It's too, too good.
I can't.
449
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,440
I don't even want to know what
the algorithm is going to look
450
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,200
like for.
Five I go to Facebook and I and
451
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,120
I wheel through the 1st 3 or 4
posts.
452
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,160
Nobody I of course I know.
And then I go to the reels and I
453
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,200
go to like, and I watch the
reels and those reels are just,
454
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,640
they are addicted, the short of
reels, you know, and it's just
455
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,000
like, whoa, whoa, well.
It's cut for the three second.
456
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,880
Yeah, yeah.
They're the, they're the best 30
457
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,360
seconds of every movie I've ever
watched, you know?
458
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,520
It's like, whoa, there was this
comedian that was talking about,
459
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,000
he was on I think David
Letterman or something recently
460
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,560
and he was talking about they're
like, oh, what are you doing?
461
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,640
He's like, well I'm watching The
Godfather in three second
462
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,320
intervals on YouTube Shorts.
Exactly the reels for YouTube
463
00:24:42,360 --> 00:24:42,880
and it's.
Fun.
464
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,360
I've seen it.
I've I've watched, I've watched
465
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:47,600
pieces of that.
I've watched what's the Denzel
466
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,760
Washington one equalizer
equalizer where he goes through
467
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,680
and kills them all.
I I watch that.
468
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,080
I watch pieces of that probably
100 times.
469
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,600
I love that I would and I've
seen the movies.
470
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,440
I've seen them all, but here I
was watching little set things
471
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:07,240
there because essentially what
it is is it's hello.
472
00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:10,600
I'm a good person.
This is a bad person.
473
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,400
He's going to suffer and that's
what you see.
474
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,680
And he sucks and that's it.
It's it's very, very quick.
475
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,200
It's hello.
I'm a good person.
476
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,880
I'm getting he.
This guy's done bad things.
477
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:27,160
Here's his retribution, you
know, very, very, very quick.
478
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,560
And that to me is just, you
know, and it and just over and
479
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,080
over and over formulation.
Yeah.
480
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,320
Or Matt Damon when he goes in
there and he's doing the same
481
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:41,560
thing with, with his Bourne
movies and he's in there and
482
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,200
it's just, you know, cuz the
funny comedic long thing where
483
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,280
you got to tell a joke doesn't
work.
484
00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:52,000
If you tell a joke quickly that
shoots, then it's then it, you
485
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,280
know, and it hits.
It's stupid, it's silly, but
486
00:25:54,280 --> 00:26:02,360
it's short, you know, you know,
abject racism, you know, sexism.
487
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,200
I mean, some of that sells.
I feel like, you know, for me,
488
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:07,160
no.
It definitely does.
489
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:13,080
Morally, the whole sexual and
racial stuff bothers me, but I,
490
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:15,520
I, I, I can't, I, I would not
watch that.
491
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,800
I remember Meme showed me a
video the other day, there was
492
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,800
this cat on a motorcycle and it
was AI video and it was a
493
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,880
motorcycle with like a house
that was like attached to it or
494
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,360
something.
And it was like a cat house.
495
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,760
And Meme was just watching these
cat motorcycle AI videos for I
496
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,920
think it was like 2530 minutes.
And it's like, it's so
497
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,640
interesting.
I don't know to like for
498
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:42,000
somebody that grew up washing
painter's pants in lie in the
499
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,840
basement for her husband and to
watch, I don't know, to blame
500
00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:51,920
mahjong on an iPad and watching
AI motorcycle cat house videos.
501
00:26:52,120 --> 00:26:57,080
It's such interesting.
I don't know transfer of
502
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,760
identity.
I guess to say I don't know
503
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,800
transfer of.
Well, they have punched the
504
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,760
monkey now to do.
Have you heard about that?
505
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,920
Yeah.
I have heard, I mean it's
506
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:11,600
nothing more than a 32nd 12
second video where the monkey
507
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,080
gets bullied, he runs over and
he gets a little fake tuffy doll
508
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,680
and that saves him.
Well, the monkey his he was
509
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,840
abandoned as a child, and that
they gave it to him as like a
510
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,880
mother.
Get over it, a lot of people are
511
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,160
abandoned.
Well, that was the so, so funny
512
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,280
as I saw a meme that was like,
my life is 1000 times worse than
513
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,720
punch the monkeys.
That was a meme that I saw.
514
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,920
I was like, that's so.
Funny, my life is 1000 times,
515
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,360
but there's people going to
Japan now to see Punch the
516
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:40,080
Monkey and the lines are around
the Really.
517
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:41,680
Yeah.
And then I asked.
518
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,040
I was.
Last night we were coming home
519
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:43,440
from.
Dinner.
520
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,520
And I asked, I asked your mom.
I said, hey, should we go see
521
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,480
punch the monkey?
And she goes, I'm not going to
522
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,080
Japan to see a monkey.
And I said, well, we would see
523
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,600
other things.
Well, you would.
524
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,240
Go see the snow monkeys in the
north, which I wish I saw.
525
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,200
I wish I saw those guys because
they're weird looking and
526
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:00,560
they're really, they're really
weird looking.
527
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,600
Yeah, they look like monks and
it's kind of nice.
528
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,600
But she's very adamantly opposed
to Zeus.
529
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,200
I don't know when the monkey
gets its legs cut off because it
530
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,960
was abandoned or something and
it was a baby and then it needs
531
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,080
to be sanctuary because.
Going to be killed and eaten out
532
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:17,560
in the.
Wild.
533
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,000
It's either die, live in a cage
for the rest of your life or be
534
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,400
dead.
And so, I mean, some people
535
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:23,880
would say I'd rather be dead,
not going to lie.
536
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,160
But like when we were at the
Denver Aquarium and there was a
537
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,240
Bengal tiger in the Denver
aquarium, you remember that?
538
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,600
It just looks sad the whole
time.
539
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,720
And I was like, why is there a
tiger in aquarium?
540
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,160
Made no sense.
And I don't know.
541
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:41,840
That was interesting.
Well, they get hurt.
542
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:47,520
It's like when we went to the
aquarium at I mean, and that's a
543
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,080
good ethical question.
If you get a bird that is hurt
544
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,640
and if you put them in a cage,
he can live forever.
545
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,640
But if you leave him outside,
the crows are going to kill him
546
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,720
in an hour.
Owl.
547
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,800
You remember the owl when I was?
There we saw the owl in our
548
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,480
backyard.
We saw that and we went and we
549
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,280
picked it up, put in a box, we
took it to the vet and they were
550
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,800
like, it died.
Oh, did it died?
551
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,600
We didn't tell you that.
I just told you that right now,
552
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:12,960
Yeah.
You told me that it made a full
553
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,160
recovery.
I did.
554
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,080
I lied.
That's.
555
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,080
Crazy.
Actually, that's a crazy.
556
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,960
Thing that was a beautiful owl
and we picked it up, we got it
557
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,840
out of there, but it was a
really, really old owl and it
558
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,520
was just at the end of its life
and it, it wandered out of its
559
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,280
hole and, you know, in the, in
the dirt daylight crows were
560
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,200
hitting it, trying to kill it
and eat it, just like 20 or 30
561
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,760
crows.
And there was a couple of those
562
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,360
Turkey vultures around.
Remember it was crazy 'cause we
563
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,440
heard it straight.
But that's what happens in the
564
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,240
wild, you know, that's sadly,
you know, that's, that's what
565
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,520
they do is they, you know, it
dies 'cause it's old and weak
566
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,000
and they eat it.
Or if it's young and not not
567
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,200
fully developed, they you know,
that's, that's what happens in
568
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,080
the industry and that's what
happens to everything.
569
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,680
You know, you know, that's how
the.
570
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,600
Whole thing now too, is that I
think a lot of people run their
571
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,240
lives based on the animal
Kingdom and they're like, well,
572
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,120
if animals don't provide a
morality or ethics in their own
573
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,920
circumstances, why should I?
I'm an animal.
574
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,400
I'm I'm a an excerpt of a
monkey.
575
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,640
And fuck off, we pay.
Taxes and.
576
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,680
Fuck off.
We take care of your kids.
577
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,840
We take care of health care.
We take care of things.
578
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,840
Stop that.
That's that's silly.
579
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,720
That's absurd.
If you want to be.
580
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,080
Should I care about people?
We're just if you want to be
581
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,440
part of society, you need to
care about other people.
582
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,800
Sorry, that's just it.
I completely agree.
583
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,760
Otherwise, go live in the
mountains and leave.
584
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,600
Don't take any resources because
people say, well, I don't have
585
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,680
any kids.
We ride on the roads and you get
586
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,760
to eat the burgers that they
make and they're getting it and
587
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,720
they got educated by my dime and
your dime.
588
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,680
So they're going to be better
and better for society and make
589
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,200
you payless taxes later because
they're going to make more
590
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,480
money.
So think about it.
591
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,480
And and also it's the right
thing to do.
592
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:07,160
Leave the world a better place,
and if you can't leave the world
593
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,280
a better place, just the people
around you.
594
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,800
That's the one thing.
It's not that hard to just
595
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,400
stretch out and reach out to the
people around you and show them
596
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:22,720
that, you know, life is we.
We can have happiness and short
597
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:23,720
bursts.
We don't.
598
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,800
You know you can't always have
it all the time.
599
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,440
That's what I think Cub Scouts
taught me.
600
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,640
Leave No Trace and things like
that.
601
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,480
Yeah, I thought beating up the
guy.
602
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,760
Well, yeah, don't get caught
sexually.
603
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,400
Or something.
Children, either man, that was
604
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,120
crazy.
You see that come out a couple
605
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,440
years ago.
The huge string of Cub Scouts
606
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,280
that people were, or maybe it
was Boy Scouts, was a Boy Scout.
607
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,160
USA is dissolved because of
that.
608
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,800
Because of the molestation.
Wow.
609
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,600
Yeah, My gosh.
We had.
610
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,680
We had.
Sadly enough though, I I learned
611
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,320
a lot in the Cub Scouts, man.
We had one.
612
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,320
We had one in our midst.
We didn't know it.
613
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,760
And then he just disappeared.
And then I thought he.
614
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,360
Applied and you're like, well
why is the guy applying to work
615
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,080
with children if he has no
children?
616
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,840
That's weird.
There's, there's a lot of guys,
617
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,560
there was a lot of guys in
scouts that are that way,
618
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,120
that's, and then you start to
realize that maybe that's bad.
619
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,440
And, and like when we were in
the scouts, there was a guy that
620
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,160
came around and said he wanted
to take photos and the moms are
621
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,920
like, oh, that'd be great.
We would have CDs.
622
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,080
And when they do this, you're
like, I don't think that's why
623
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,520
we coming here.
Well, you know, what's
624
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,200
interesting too is I heard
about, you know, those I DS I
625
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,880
used to get when I was a kid.
It was the no child or it was
626
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,160
the missing children report or
something as a white card and it
627
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,600
had the kids ID on it.
Apparently that was funded by
628
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,320
Jeffrey Epstein.
Crazy enough.
629
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,280
Yeah, that he was interlinked
with that whole organization
630
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:47,760
because if you think about it,
it's so.
631
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,040
Then he can have a set of.
National interface with like
632
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,360
every child in America, every
child in the public school was
633
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,680
in that interface.
Isn't that funny?
634
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,160
Crazy.
That's crazy.
635
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,400
Oh my gosh.
Well, you'd want to look at them
636
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,160
in the poorest things in the
poorest area and that's what
637
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:06,280
they targeted.
Well, that was.
638
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:10,280
Like when we live right on the
bridge of Maryland and women of
639
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:14,320
color that were like teenagers
were disappearing on a weekly
640
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,760
basis.
On a weekly basis, they
641
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,160
disappear like that in Maryland
and they're like, oh, they're
642
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,600
all runaways.
So I'm like, you're saying that
643
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,560
there's 500 runaways like every
two months.
644
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,920
That's that's not right.
No, that doesn't make sense.
645
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,360
That's crazy.
That's all lazy.
646
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,120
To this work.
No, exactly.
647
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:33,400
They've never done anything
anyway.
648
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,080
They show up after the crime has
been committed.
649
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,080
It's a it's a wasteful job.
Oh my gosh, I did myself.
650
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:47,160
So as far as ethics, as far as
like, I feel that the way that
651
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,680
we perpetuate better ethics and
better morals and better, better
652
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:57,120
society as a whole is to emulate
them is to show them to others
653
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,400
in public and to do the right
thing.
654
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,680
And I think that we, you know,
over and over and over again.
655
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,880
And, and I guess basically what
I'm saying is I'm going to have
656
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,080
to sign off to Facebook because
I'm really a horrible person
657
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:08,600
there.
I need to take another social
658
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,760
media break as well.
It's it's exhausting.
659
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,239
It's it's very tiring because
then you feel like you have all
660
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,000
these options in front of you.
You're like, what should I do
661
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,679
with my life?
And then you do nothing, you
662
00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:19,760
know, like, I don't know.
It's really, it really is that.
663
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:22,719
I'll just smoke another joint
and sit here and think about it.
664
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:24,960
Yeah, exactly.
No.
665
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,560
It's well, it's also there's a
level.
666
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,199
Of Self importance in American
culture too, I think ever since
667
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,960
my generation, which was the
generation of participation
668
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,040
trophies since and self
importance as well.
669
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,880
And I think that there was a lot
of people that were saying,
670
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,560
well, you should go out and do
this 'cause they vicariously
671
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:48,480
lived through their children,
but even society more so it was
672
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,480
pushed not only through those
relationships that people had
673
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,040
with their children, but also it
was influenced by sports teams.
674
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,800
It was influenced by adolescent
sports, adolescent clubs.
675
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,480
You should always be the most
important person in the room.
676
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,520
And I think that that's where we
are now.
677
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,440
It's the society is that all of
these self important people grew
678
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,040
up and are now adults.
And they're self important
679
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:11,840
adults, you know?
Yeah.
680
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,520
Sad and you see it you see it
through the government, you see
681
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,480
it through Congress, you see it
through place after place after
682
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,680
place and it's you know, and we
talk about ethics.
683
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,040
It's like I, I, I see today that
it, it's OK.
684
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,760
There's too many things that are
OK today that wouldn't have been
685
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,640
OK five years ago.
Completely agree.
686
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:36,520
You know, there's just so many
things that are it just seems to
687
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:42,280
be openly taking money and doing
things that would would have
688
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,800
been three or four years ago,
five years ago, illegal.
689
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,400
It it's just, it's, it's just
one more thing.
690
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,560
It's, it's, it's there's not
enough time to deal with that.
691
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:52,680
We got to move on to the next
one.
692
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,280
The next.
One, there's no moral baseline
693
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,880
anywhere, anywhere.
Yeah, it seems weird that you
694
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,280
know, and it's not and and it's
the.
695
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,040
Absolutely.
That's what it is.
696
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:06,880
Has nothing to do with religion.
OK, not nailing the souls of
697
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,120
Christians on my feet is not
going to make me be a better
698
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,040
person.
It's not going to happen.
699
00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:17,040
I know a lot more people that
are evil to go to church every
700
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,080
Sunday than the people that
abuse drugs every Saturday and
701
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,400
Friday.
One day a week, you know,
702
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:23,200
religious.
People.
703
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,400
Yeah, yeah, those people are
very nice.
704
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:27,840
Yeah, Yeah, You don't.
I don't.
705
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,200
You, you don't.
I mean, I'm a firm believer that
706
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:34,480
you don't need it can help you.
It can give you a moral compass.
707
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,600
It can give you a direction.
It can give you a crutch,
708
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,760
something to lean on to make
your life better.
709
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,480
Absolutely.
But it's not a necessity.
710
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,600
It's not a necessity to be a
good person.
711
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,320
It's not a necessity to make the
right decisions.
712
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,600
It's not.
It's not, it's.
713
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,200
It's an institution that is
really projected.
714
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:52,560
If you look in these these third
world countries, the US being
715
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,400
one of them now or becoming 1,
you see these people that are
716
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:01,200
told, oh, don't work on your
life, just pray and life will
717
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,320
change for you.
And why do you think that these
718
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,960
nations have struggled with all
of this rampant missionary work
719
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:12,880
for so long and they haven't
been able to really advance
720
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,200
forward?
And it's because they were given
721
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,840
the belief that if they prayed
hard enough, the life would
722
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,600
change for them.
And if in the last 100 years,
723
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:26,560
200 years, it hasn't really
changed that much, the praying
724
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,040
hasn't changed and it hasn't
advanced their society.
725
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,920
So I don't know.
Well, they they've enriched
726
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,520
those that came to subjugate
them.
727
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,360
Exactly.
You know they've done well with
728
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,720
that and subjugate them with
religion and authority.
729
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,000
You know, you look at all these
countries and that's, you know,
730
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,720
religion was the lead lead to
get in to change everybody to
731
00:37:49,720 --> 00:37:53,360
make them non heathens.
And once they became that then
732
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,640
all of a sudden they were good
citizens.
733
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,480
But you know, there's the center
of pedophilia.
734
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,280
You know you're.
Like, wow.
735
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,480
Yeah, and all you got to say is,
oops, I'm sorry.
736
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:09,160
May I ask forgiveness?
God?
737
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,920
And then no, I, I would my
forgiveness would be a meat
738
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,800
grinder, but and I would have no
problem with throwing somebody
739
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,320
in chipper.
You know, at that point, you
740
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,800
know, as long as you can confirm
that they were the 1, you know,
741
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:25,960
that's the, that's the.
That's.
742
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,920
The issue you have now, you
know, it seems to be an
743
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,840
overwhelming thing.
No, that's.
744
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,160
We put you in jail for smoking a
joint, but hey.
745
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,320
California three strike program.
That was crazy.
746
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:42,560
We had that for a while where if
you get caught with any sort of
747
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:48,040
life, weight of marijuana or any
sort of things, it's life in
748
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,160
prison.
California three strike, my guy.
749
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,440
Yeah, I remember seeing that.
You know, it's funny, as I first
750
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,360
discovered that was an issue
when me and you were watching
751
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:56,920
Locked Up Raw.
Maybe I should have been
752
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,960
watching it when I was 11/12.
And there's a guy playing guitar
753
00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:01,720
and he's really good at guitar.
He's like, this is the only
754
00:39:01,720 --> 00:39:04,440
thing that I have.
I got caught with one ounce of
755
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:08,400
marijuana three times in 82.
I think it was 92.
756
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:09,920
It was like 10 years apart.
It was crazy.
757
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,640
And then like right before 2004,
which is I think when they
758
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,240
overturned it or something, or
maybe it was 2008 when they
759
00:39:16,240 --> 00:39:18,320
overturned it.
And he's like, I have been in
760
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,680
prison for I, I think it was
like 20.
761
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:22,840
I don't know, something at that
point.
762
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:27,000
He's like a decade, over a
decade at this point, or 3
763
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,920
ounces of marijuana.
And I'm like, that's crazy.
764
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,680
And the weirdest thing is when
we decriminalized it, we didn't
765
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,920
release those people that had
been arrested for life in
766
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,480
prison.
Why wouldn't you?
767
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,840
I I don't understand that.
Well, it's 'cause they make the
768
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,680
state money, that's what they
do, right?
769
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,800
I I hate that we should talk
more.
770
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,000
We did the prisons once. $1000 a
person, yeah.
771
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:51,240
It bothers me so much that and
then their labor is free, you
772
00:39:51,240 --> 00:39:54,320
know, in some states.
California's a low pay state
773
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,680
which I think it's like $0.10 an
hour, but it's like why even pay
774
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,320
them at that point?
I don't really understand.
775
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:00,600
Exactly.
That's silly.
776
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:05,560
In Louisiana it's $0.02.
So I don't understand what are
777
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,000
you going to save up for what?
Well, I guess commissary if you
778
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,960
think about that.
But I don't even know what
779
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,840
prison commissary is like.
I think it's overtly expensive
780
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:14,360
if I.
Remember.
781
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:15,120
Really.
Yeah.
782
00:40:15,240 --> 00:40:17,280
Same with the phone calls.
You have to pay for phone calls
783
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,720
coming in and going out.
Commissary should be illegal as
784
00:40:19,720 --> 00:40:21,520
hell.
I don't understand that.
785
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,880
Yeah, that's crazy.
Makes no sense.
786
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:25,800
Well, what are we out of here
for?
787
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,720
Time.
Oh, we're at 57.
788
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,880
There we go.
All right, well, thank you guys

793
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,560
Ethics, man.
Do we have something else?

I don't know, Go go look at this
all platforms.
795
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,320
Now we need more.
We need more ethics.
796
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,800

media team that has been running

00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,320
