WEBVTT 1 00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:13.960 Oh, we've got to not first as much. That was one of the 2 00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:21.760 things I know and I'm already conscious of it. Somebody's not not time in 3 00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:26.839 place to put put those words and just to drop them like it's Sir. 4 00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:33.240 I know if I'm drinking, then the F bomb is everywhere. Oh, 5 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:36.600 I know, me too, and I and I only speak in a Boston 6 00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:42.119 accent. Yes, that's fine. One Girl Says Speak Boston. It's annoying 7 00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.640 to hear because what does that mean? Number One and number two, and 8 00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:49.840 then when I get tests like that, I start going to Boston accent, 9 00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:55.000 so she wants, and I get mad because it's all the expensive me. 10 00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:00.399 I'm played. What's up everybody? This is big time fresh. My name 11 00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:06.079 is Bella Mars and I'm here today with my college buddy. His name is 12 00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:14.840 ricky, Rick Bross, like Rick the ruler. We're talking about that situation 13 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:21.959 where there's like a like mine, kind of single mom, and there's like 14 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:26.920 other people coming in and out of life and then, yeah, I don't 15 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.920 understand. What would you mind meeting my kids? Like I'm like, I 16 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.920 don't care, I'm not. I'm not adopting them. You're not bringing papers, 17 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.959 right. Yeah, I don't mind. I don't mind meeting anybody. 18 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:45.519 Yeah, well, that's that's one of the now you got me on edge 19 00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:49.040 with that question. You know. It's like, is this one of those 20 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.120 things where meeting my kids means take kids, this is your new dad. 21 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.879 It's it's crazy because at the same time it's so different. I know for 22 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:04.000 me personally, I'm not introed. You think anybody ever until it's like super, 23 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.439 super serious, because I don't. It's not worth somebody getting attached, 24 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:10.719 like if you're with somebody for two years, for example, that's like a 25 00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:14.960 connection you're making with the kids. First of all, the guy or the 26 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.879 other person has to really, you know, think about I love this girl 27 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.520 and she has kids, but I still want her. That's a big deal 28 00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.879 in itself. So if you go about doing that and then all of a 29 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:31.840 sudden you break up that want Um kids and don't have them, you know, 30 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:37.879 like that's saying. This is me, but like, like, like 31 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.400 me, I've gotten to the stage where I haven't had a wife or a 32 00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:45.280 divorce and had a kid nothing. So some people are looking for that and 33 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:49.400 then that's a way for them to like cheat and speed up. That ain't 34 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:53.319 me. So I don't know that thought process that I never knew that was 35 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:58.400 a thing. My perception is that I shouldn't feel this way because I am 36 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:04.319 this this demograph. But if you're a single mom, then having a kid 37 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:09.439 and somebody coming into the relationship with you, having a kid is like baggage, 38 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.680 which I think it is for a lot of people, which is which 39 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.400 is whatever. But I didn't think about the other side where it could be 40 00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:23.120 something that people would actually want, or some guys would actually want, which 41 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:28.039 I get, because that's like a big ten years, I think, from 42 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:34.919 you know, meeting, marriage, whatever. Kids skip all that and I've 43 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:43.159 seen situations where it's, you know, the stepparents are super involved and Um, 44 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.800 you know, they adopt the kids and it's all that cute stuff. 45 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:52.599 Everyone gonna drop the stigma about divorce and Um and and step parents and stuff, 46 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:57.599 because now it's like, you know, a Stepdad isn't the old school 47 00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.520 quintes Sachel comes home and fucking beat you because he's an alcoholic and you know 48 00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:06.919 you're afraid of him. No, step that usually is because the biological dad 49 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:11.520 just wasn't working out for whatever reason. What's not okay is when you stay 50 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.000 together and you put the kid in the toxic in your talking between your toxic 51 00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:19.680 relationship. But you know, so that sucks and, uh, it's a 52 00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:24.480 selfish thing for the parents to do. So I think now it's becoming more, 53 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:29.600 more, and I'm speaking not as a parent, and it's becoming more 54 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:31.879 normal. Yeah, yeah, and it's like an almost a negligible thing. 55 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:36.199 People are calling their Stepdad's Dad, you know, and ship like that. 56 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:40.480 And Uh, and really, yeah, it's just who do you see as 57 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.800 a father figure in your life? Called that person death? I mean, 58 00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:48.920 for Christ's sake, you know how many girls called Me Dad? D You 59 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:55.319 have you have it, and then you didn't follow through. But try that 60 00:04:55.399 --> 00:05:01.000 again. Okay, so we're both almost are we almost forty? No, 61 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:05.519 I'M gonna say mid Thirties. Relax, and thirty six. Okay, okay, 62 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:14.319 relax, I'm thirty seven. Okay, UM, single. So I 63 00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.360 don't think. I don't think. It's like I'm having a blast. I 64 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:21.439 feel like it's I'm good until you know, my daughter's eighteen. I'm gonna 65 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:27.199 write, write it out, Um, which is what which is ten? 66 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.439 Ten more years, Um, and then, you know, I'll think about 67 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:34.680 it. But to your point, from earlier. How do friends with benefits 68 00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:39.920 even work? Because the only people that are kind of in the same stage 69 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:46.160 of being single are like mid twenties, where they're still kind of they don't 70 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.360 care, they're not looking to settle down, they're open to the idea of 71 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:53.160 being fronds with benefits, that these are blankets stagent in Jamaican. You know, 72 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:59.000 I'm the situation I brought up earlier was very specific. Right, yeah, 73 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:03.759 okay, so generally people, this is the perception is you can be 74 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:09.360 friends with a girl, which is false, I think, excepting very weird 75 00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:14.959 certain situations, because you end up talking them. If you, guys, 76 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.519 ask yourself honestly, because you say, oh no, I have a girl 77 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:24.199 that's a friend. If you honestly fucking ask yourself that, um is she 78 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.920 really might don't want to hang out with her if she didn't have a vagina, 79 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.160 tell me the answer is fucking yes, I guarantee you the bomb. 80 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:39.319 But here's the other thing, though. What does that make us? Right, 81 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:44.560 friends the girl? Okay, right, but you just countered your own 82 00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:49.319 no, no, I said it's there. It's it's Um impossible for guys 83 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:56.439 to be friends with girls. Accepting a very specific so, let's be honest. 84 00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.759 That's the reality of it. So friends with benefits are are like we're 85 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:04.680 friends. We have not hooked up right, and that would be if we 86 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:10.160 start hooking up right and then try to contain this level of friendship and Camaraderie 87 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:14.360 we currently have. That will never happen because if you hook up, you 88 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:18.160 inherently sex does that to you. What Fox up the relationship? Yeah, 89 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:23.879 I agree. I don't know, and suck it up. It changes it 90 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:29.560 and whether it makes it better or worse, it depends on the situation. 91 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:34.319 But Ninety five percent of the time usually end and those people not being friends 92 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.959 five years later. You know, what do you think the main what do 93 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:41.639 you think it is? If you had a pin? One of them gets 94 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.720 jealous. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. One of one 95 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.800 of them takes it's that's easy. One one of them always takes it serious, 96 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:53.920 more serious than the other, and gets attached and then that causes problems. 97 00:07:53.959 --> 00:08:00.680 That's always a situation and that's that. But I think that there's different 98 00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.519 to be said with I said earlier. Well, what what if you're like 99 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.680 truly friends and then you just you consider a one off as a favor, 100 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:13.439 like you're driving over to the airport. You know, how could that be? 101 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.120 Well, it could be different like this way. Less emotional attached, 102 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.639 because depending on the act it's because if you have sex with somebody, you're 103 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.600 emotionally attached to him and then, but if you blow somebody, I don't 104 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.439 think you'd probably be that much attached him. I don't know. I mean 105 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.720 age is a big factor, but I could agree with yeah, we'll just 106 00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.279 like, there's a lot of letters levels. So it's so. So, 107 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.679 how do you so? What's the difference between that and friends with benefits? 108 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.159 So how do you not fuck that up? Well, YOU'RE gonna keep the 109 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:52.240 true one off situation. Yeah, it as a favor and obviously if that 110 00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:58.000 person keeps requesting that favor, it's not it's turning into you know, it's 111 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.919 a getting out of hand. Yeah, yeah, so, yeah, I 112 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:05.559 thought about that the other day, but I think, like friends of benefits, 113 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:07.840 the one way to find out. I don't know. You want to 114 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:13.960 do me a favor? I gotta get to Florida, man, I'm all 115 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:18.360 the way over here. We can if you flying me out there and then 116 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.279 a hotel, I'll think about it. I'll take my decision when I get 117 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.080 who's doing a favor at that point? Only put you up in hotel. 118 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.600 Oh, how do you like the breakers? That okay, Oh, yeah, 119 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.039 yeah, Oh, can you do me a favor? What do you 120 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.759 how much? Is this friendship plus? It would gradually friendship plus, any 121 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.759 friendship plus. This is friendship. And Hey, if you're with me and 122 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:41.840 I and Hey, I forgot my wallet at home. Right, we stopped 123 00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:45.519 at gas station. I need you to buy me a pack of smokes. 124 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.399 Huh, well, I wouldn't buy you a pack of smokes. Hey, 125 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.200 you buy me about and do? Is that gonna ruin our friendship? No, 126 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.440 who cares? No, no, but it's not. Specifically, I'm 127 00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:58.879 not talking about me and you know, but we're the characters in the scenario. 128 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:05.759 Yeah, I think of it as the mountain news. It's like, 129 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.960 I'll get you back when you need it. Yeah, exactly. I owe 130 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.120 you one. All right, yeah, I don't know, and I don't 131 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.159 drink about do every day? You shouldn't. Exactly. That's a good yep, 132 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.679 that's a good God, I am good. I am good. Put 133 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.840 me up there with the best of the best philosophers. I really this is 134 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:31.919 I'm glad Richard. I remember with your Oh my God, I'm the most 135 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:37.840 amazing person. It looks like you're sweaty out there. That's hottest. Fuck. 136 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.000 Is Not even a wind. And then I was going to turn on 137 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:48.039 the fan, but it's probably loud. Oh Yeah's almost or there. Who 138 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.799 am I going to wake up? I'm sure your love it. They hate 139 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:58.200 me. The only times that that it's called the guard date on Karens. 140 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:00.879 Do you have any Karens up in your name? Were I would have seen 141 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.600 everything that. At this point, the guard gates loved me that I drive 142 00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.799 by them all the time and they fucking wave right. But he calls him 143 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.039 all the time, because I remember a guard gate came one time and I 144 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:15.879 was just I I think it was this bike, I don't know, and 145 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.039 I had to drain the carburetor and then put gas and so I want to 146 00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.200 make sure it works, so I started so the guys will go through it, 147 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:28.399 and literally got called on that and the guard gate comes and he's like, 148 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.039 he's like yeah, he's like, he's like if you even just like 149 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.360 just do it quiet or at least away from, you know, this area, 150 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.240 because and they adjusted.

Who Cares? We're allowed them. 163 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.720 No, I have to edit them out, all of them, not 164 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:48.840 all of them, just most of them. Well, usually if there's a 165 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:54.120 lot, especially together, then usually I'm not saying anything that that worth no 166 00:12:54.320 --> 00:13:01.159 real cut completely, you know, because I that's one thing I hated was 167 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.879 all the F bombs that I said but when I say I'm sometimes I just 168 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.480 nail it. So the ones I nailed stick like a gymnast. You better 169 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.519 not beep, you know. Oh, I know exactly what we're talking about 170 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:18.000 actually. So, Oh, you do. Okay, this is that scenario 171 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.759 where I want to punch you. Yeah, that's why I'm glad you're not 172 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.840 right next to it. You Know Me. You should be me too also, 173 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:31.120 because I've been looking to punch somebody and he's really been around. Sure, 174 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.679 what is that? What the kids are calling it these days? Punching, 175 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.919 punching, Gross Punch you, like punch your face, like I pretty 176 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:46.919 sure you would jump because of comments like this. Okay, but you love 177 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:52.960 it. It fires me up and I think it also makes me laugh. 178 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.159 Yeah, I get fired up a lot lately. I'll tell you right now 179 00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:00.679 when I'm fired up about. I have on youtube like day because it's on 180 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:03.240 my computer and I just let it play or whatever, and I've been watching 181 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:09.600 queen videos, like the band queen. You know who queen is, right. 182 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:15.360 Yeah, all of these kids are just, you know, are finding 183 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:20.200 out Bohemian rap city and they're like, Oh, does this guy write his 184 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.960 own songs? That's been happening with every like and it's I'm such an asshole 185 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:30.320 for being like this and I am recognized that I'm a Dick. And it 186 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:35.919 is what it is, though, because that there's no appreciation for the actual 187 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:41.279 art of music and the people who came before to make it what it is 188 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.120 today. Somebody said, Oh, I thought it was Bohemian rap city. 189 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.279 No one knows. Well, I mean, in their defense, it sounds 190 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.919 like it, it is, but it's not. But like you know, 191 00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:01.240 so on the tip off, I think you're gonna to your therapist. Okay, 192 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.879 I'm gonna be honest. As your friends, I feel like there's something 193 00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:07.480 more going on. What's going on? No, because I'm I have a 194 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.799 very thing. Is My favorite band and I have a very strong affinity for 195 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:18.000 Freddie Mercury and he's had the biggest impact on music in society, more than 196 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.720 you know, Madonna or whatever. So for people to not know who they 197 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:24.039 are and to not know their songs, it's me. This is me being 198 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:26.879 an asshole and I know that. No, it's not, because I get 199 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:31.159 the same I feel you. You know, Queen's the first album I have 200 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.480 our owned. Really, yeah, I feel you. But, Um, 201 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:39.600 you can't blame these people. They don't know this is when, this is 202 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.320 they were if we were listening to Queen, we were listening to Oldies, 203 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.679 like if we were listening up in Buddy Holly. You know, I think 204 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:52.360 I'm I'm more upset this. Fact is I'm getting old and maybe I should 205 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.039 just look at it from that perspective, like we gotta relax a little bit 206 00:15:56.039 --> 00:16:03.759 here. I'm fired up. What isn't music to chill you out? Yeah, 207 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:10.759 but right now I'm just upset. I feel you. In all seriousness, 208 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.240 I know what you're saying. Everybody's ignorant to actual music, where it 209 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.919 came from the roots of what they're listening to auto tune. All I hear 210 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.799 is, Oh, don't worry, we'll fix it in post. There was 211 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:26.480 no post back then. There was no digital recording. How to record on 212 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:30.240 a tape and then over dubbed, like it's just striking me crazy, and 213 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:36.559 it's nobody's fault. It's really nobody's fault, and I used to be okay, 214 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:38.480 here's a good example. I Dj, do you know what? You 215 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:45.360 know that and I only did vinyl and because I feel like if you knew 216 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.200 how to scratch vinyl and mixed vinyl. You actually know how to fucking do 217 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:55.639 the art of Dj whereas the computer stuff that was out, it was automatic, 218 00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:57.559 right, spoke it up for you, would put it at the draw 219 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:02.639 for you, whatever. Yeah, and it took no skill. So it 220 00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:04.119 was just pressed play and go. And I'm like, you know what, 221 00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:08.680 that's stupid. But that was me being ignorant to the Times. Because, 222 00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:11.200 guys, what, if you want to throw a party now, they're gonna 223 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:17.720 hire the person with the electronic equipment, not the stuff, because it's not 224 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:22.799 a scratch battle. You know, it's just like so sometimes you're gonna embrace 225 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.440 the change, but it's hard. So what, when we come from what 226 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.799 we know and what we like and what we're have an affinity for, what's 227 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:38.400 that like? Nostalgic? What we're nostalgic for? I feel yeah, I 228 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:42.599 know food fighter said they made this comment maybe like five years ago at this 229 00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:45.960 point, and they said, you know, they record as a band, 230 00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:49.119 you know, not like individual parts, but they record as a band and 231 00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:53.559 as a whole, and it's not it's it's they try to say as authentic 232 00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:57.240 as they can to the whole process of what they did back in the nineties. 233 00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:02.799 But that's the only that's that's it. That's all I can think of 234 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:08.759 right now. Get over it, anyway. Okay, I'm over it. 235 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:18.200 Rands over. I'm not over it, but no, it sucks. It's 236 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.279 sad. It is sad because I what came on the radio the other day, 237 00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:27.240 if not yesterday, two days ago. was six, nine or not. 238 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:32.119 You're not on the radio, but on my spotify, right, yeah, 239 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:40.319 Dun cloud something, and I'm like, and even he in an interview, 240 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.720 was like yeah, Bro, all I say is like, have you 241 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:49.440 listened to my songs? All I say that. See what what he's like 242 00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:53.799 that. I'm not saying anything, BRO, and I'm like, I know, 243 00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:57.759 but it was. That's that's one of his songs comes on and I'm 244 00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:04.200 just like this stuff fucking disgrace to everything. But I mean, okay, 245 00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:08.039 the throwing money at these people, what the fuck? You know what I 246 00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:15.880 do? I do you appreciate him for telling that truth? He's like, 247 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:21.240 I know, I'm a ridiculous yeah, I think I like him, but 248 00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:25.880 for but like, let's just talk about the quality of music. Like, 249 00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:30.640 Oh God, off his music. I mean fun me, but he obvious 250 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:33.680 he had a great marketing ploy and ship yeah, that's all it is today. 251 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.240 And so a lot of the problems that they had back in the day 252 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:41.960 with Queen, when, you know, the management company was making all the 253 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:45.240 money and they didn't see a dime and they were starving and stuff. That 254 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:49.680 problem has not been solved. That happening with Queen. It happened with in 255 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:52.839 sync or whatever. But, like, how do we fix that? You 256 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:59.440 know, it's sad. You don't, because it's okay, it's music. 257 00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:04.799 Is Not a burning man event. It's not for pleasure, it's for it's 258 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:08.440 business. Okay, music is business. If it was for pleasure and it 259 00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:15.839 was for like, okay, the orchestra is music. Is Music based on 260 00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:21.559 talent. They get the best violenist, the best people in their craft and 261 00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:23.519 you know, I'll never understand any of the stuff they do, but you 262 00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:29.160 know, they do incredible things and but they they're none of them are millionaires, 263 00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:33.000 but but they probably enjoy you know what I mean, right, and 264 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:34.720 they enjoy it. And that's the thing. Like they and they are the 265 00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:41.039 people that enjoy music and harness it and love it like we do. These 266 00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:42.599 people. You gotta look this way. You're gonna wear this, wear this 267 00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:47.119 and you need to your yeah, know, that's that's what they do, 268 00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:52.000 that's it's a business. Jimi Hendricks up and they were told to do that. 269 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:55.000 That's how they are, that's who they are. That's you know, 270 00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:59.319 Jimmy Hendricks played the left hand and guitar, bore the scarf around his head. 271 00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:04.319 And now everyone's like whatever their manager, whatever their stylists, says, 272 00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:10.440 um, because it's more of a business now. You know, back then 273 00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:15.319 it was like wishy washy, and then you had superstars like Hendrix, because 274 00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:19.640 all the the times too, it's like after no, and he's he's all 275 00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:25.359 about peace and yeah, everyone's tripped and they go see Hendrix. He's amazing. 276 00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:29.480 And now everyone loves hendricks. So now people, I. can make 277 00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:33.160 money and bag money here. So now you get the vultures, you know. 278 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:37.799 And Yeah, current musicians from like the nineties. I guess. How 279 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:42.119 do we solve it? Before I forget, not here's how we solve it. 280 00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:48.279 We we provide financial literacy to the artist, because, guess what, 281 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:52.799 the NFL in the I don't know if other sports places are doing it, 282 00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:57.079 but the NFL is requiring the rookies to take Um. I think it's two 283 00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:03.680 semesters of financial literacy. Yeah, that is so smart. It's an awesome 284 00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:08.000 move and I think that that's the way that because then pick and choose their 285 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:12.200 deals and see which ones you know, they won't get fucked exactly. If 286 00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:15.640 they do, it's their own fault. At least they'll know what they're getting 287 00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.519 into. So I think financial literacy, because we're not going to change the 288 00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:23.559 companies, so we're gonna change the people, the infl yeah, and I 289 00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:30.519 also think this apply. This concept should apply to whoever gets voted into any 290 00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:37.039 kind of office politically. They should take a test on what the first ten 291 00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:41.200 amendments are. That's it. What are the amendments? Take a little quiz. 292 00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:44.519 What's an amendment three? Amendment four? We all know what amendment one 293 00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:48.000 and two are, but what's the rest of them? I don't I don't 294 00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:52.880 know exactly. Political politicians need to know what they're talking about, because right 295 00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.200 now they're saying, oh, they're gonna take our guns. No, Bro, 296 00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.440 we can't. It's not that we're not gonna take your guns. Read 297 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:06.160 the Damn Constitution before you go out and say all these things. If everybody 298 00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:10.920 read those who is currently holding office and the craziest they have to pass that 299 00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:14.480 test first. If they don't pass that test, that means they don't even 300 00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:15.599 care. You know what I mean, like if you want to be an 301 00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:22.319 audience defending the government, tests right in school and ship. And if they 302 00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:26.519 pass another one, doesn't mean they're gonna behave, because the reason they're not. 303 00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.160 But if they don't pass do you think right now Donald Trump would pass? 304 00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:37.000 Yeah, the test, you're you're kidding me on what? On the 305 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:41.240 first on the top ten, the amendments of the Constitution? Yeah, yeah, 306 00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:45.799 I think most of the people would know. Absolutely not. I disagree, 307 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:52.000 wholeheartedly disagree. Well, okay, the point is, even if they 308 00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:56.480 don't know them, if they were going to have to take a test, 309 00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:59.799 a bother them? They just study them, know them, pass the test 310 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.640 and then my point is, if they know them or if they don't know 311 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.920 him, you're gonna get the same outcome. It would be the level of 312 00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:11.880 effort. I think a lot of people would how much effort did you put 313 00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:17.200 into memorize and just a few things to pass the tests at school? None, 314 00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:19.640 okay, ten minutes could study. Well, it would show a lot, 315 00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:22.839 because I'm sure there's it wouldn't show that much. What would show a 316 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.519 lot. Is this is they're gonna have a law in place where this is 317 00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:30.640 what Warren Bobby said. I act and and and I'M gonna paraphrase it wrong, 318 00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:38.880 but it's something like this. People in the in the in the in 319 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:45.680 government, should only be able to keep their jobs, probably this. They 320 00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:49.400 get fired if their policies end up putting us in debt or losing US money. 321 00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:55.359 Okay, then everybody would shape up quick because they wouldn't have because what 322 00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:57.240 they're doing is acting and self interests. They know what the funk they're doing. 323 00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:02.119 There's every there every I can't even get into it, but everything they're 324 00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:07.559 doing right now is not in the public's interest or what the public wants. 325 00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.880 Politics a game and it's a zero sum game in my kin, and I 326 00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:15.759 feel like don't matter whose president, don't matter nothing. I agree. Yeah, 327 00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:18.920 it's gonna Happen and it is what it is, and I think there's 328 00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.920 no way to disprove that, because you can't get in the time machine and 329 00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.440 pick someone else and they say, Oh, I told you that would happen. 330 00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:29.440 You know, they can say whatever they want, but it's not happen. 331 00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:30.799 You don't even want to go here with me. But look, I 332 00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:38.839 don't I know. Everything was fine when we were youngsters, Um, and 333 00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:42.240 now they're crazy. So, yeah, I'm starting my own country. You 334 00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:45.640 fix a problem, you get to make a law, but it has to 335 00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:52.200 be approved by, you know, cabin I thought about moving like I feel. 336 00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:56.440 I mean, I'm a coster RECON citizen. So did you know that? 337 00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:02.359 I said I'm a cooster reconsider since so I can where where you're gonna 338 00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:04.319 move? Let's be honest. Costa Rica, San Jose, Costa Rica, 339 00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:11.319 because they're okay, so down there. No, there's gonna be a civil 340 00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:15.079 war here. And like, Oh my God, Dude, are you? 341 00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:21.599 Are you of America already says that there's a civil war coming, but I'm 342 00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:23.920 saying like, people are gonna go take unto the streets. For Real, 343 00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:27.720 that's already had. That's happening every day. You're not realized that? No, 344 00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:30.240 I realize that, but I'm not talking about how it is today. 345 00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.920 I'm talking about no, there's not gonna be red coats and blue coats. 346 00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:37.559 There's just not. It's not gonna be a civil war like that. Ever. 347 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:42.799 and Um, we are in a civil and a civil war where a 348 00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:48.000 civil divide. Yeah, and that's getting worse. But I don't think that's 349 00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:52.240 what that's that's my plan. That's not by accident. That's why I refused 350 00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:55.960 to feed into it and talk to people. I feed into it because I 351 00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:59.079 think I watched too much news, because I just get so stressed out. 352 00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:04.839 I want to for Congress. I'm running for president, Kennedy hair and I'm 353 00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:14.720 Kennedy, good looking, Massachusetts, Massachusetts. I'm a candidate.

I played this game the other day with somebody. 362 00:27:53.519 --> 00:28:02.200 Um, so it'll be for each of the the decade. What is 363 00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:06.359 your favorite song from this whatever decades? And it can be a guest, 364 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:10.160 because I don't sometimes it's sixties sometimes it's like Seventies. You know what I 365 00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:15.039 mean? M Hm. So, so, starting with right now, who's 366 00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:21.839 your favorite artists? This is not gonna go well because I don't have one. 367 00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:27.960 Yeah, thanks for ruining the game. No, I'm not ruining it, 368 00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:32.400 would be playing it. You're saying you don't listen to any music right 369 00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:33.519 now. Is that? Is that what I said? Or did I say 370 00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.640 I don't have a favorite artist? Shut up, man. Well, no, 371 00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:40.920 I can't remember. What did I say? Yeah, that's right. 372 00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:45.000 The second let's say you want to be a podcast list all right, Um, 373 00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:51.400 what about right now? I'm back on Queen. Yeah, you're doing 374 00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:55.720 the study and research. Yeah, I know, but I mean when I 375 00:28:55.799 --> 00:28:59.880 play the guitar, it's different, like I like to play. Certainly. 376 00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:03.160 Oh, do you watch? Do you watch that stranger things or no? 377 00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:08.680 Yeah, but I haven't gotten. I've stopped after a season, fucking one 378 00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:14.160 and a half. You don't like it. After two I didn't like and 379 00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:17.720 I'm just over it. Just stick to four. I'll fill you in. 380 00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:22.680 There's a recap to every season and it's way different. It's this one's more 381 00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.160 of a horror movie versus the other ones that were like well, there's a 382 00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:30.160 monster tracing alien movies and monster movies, the ones that have real good build 383 00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:36.640 ups. They need to have a good monster or else it's ruins the entire 384 00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:40.680 movie. Yeah, like it's happening and I think it's like a serial killer 385 00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:42.720 and it ends up being like, Oh, an ancient curse, and I'm 386 00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:47.480 like, alright, Sonny, I'm back, come back from the other okay. 387 00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:51.920 So I think we would like season four because the scariest part about it 388 00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:57.000 is that it gets people if they have issues that they haven't dealt with yet. 389 00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:03.960 The UH, his name is whatever, the Bekna, is like this 390 00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:10.960 really scary person that feeds off of feeds off of the people that have emotional 391 00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:15.359 issues that they need to deal with. So like one kid felt really guilty 392 00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:18.799 that he was in a car accident with his friends and the car was burning 393 00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:25.559 and he didn't really kind of help um so that they took him kind of 394 00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:32.119 out of consciousness and they killed him in real life and in the I don't 395 00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:33.519 know, you just have to see it, because it breaks me out, 396 00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:37.559 because I'm like do I not have I like when they were just in the 397 00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:41.880 arcade and the monster was coming, and now it's too involved you know, 398 00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:47.200 like alternate universe, upside down, downside up, and this that all the 399 00:30:47.279 --> 00:30:49.920 kids are growing up. You know what, this weekend I watched season one 400 00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:55.559 through three so that I could just just remember it all, because there's so 401 00:30:55.640 --> 00:30:56.839 much. They have one more season left, so I just wanted to make 402 00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:03.000 sure that I pick up on everything. They are so adorable when they start 403 00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:07.519 getting into, because people are telling me to get into it was trailer Park 404 00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:15.920 Boys. What's that on Netflix? What is it called? Trailer Park Boys? 405 00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:19.559 Yeah, that's pretty funny. Yeah, because one of the guy's name 406 00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:22.440 is ricky. So everyone's like, Oh, reggy, Oh yeah, you 407 00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:27.480 like smoking weed, you like smoking. I go oh, yeah, there's 408 00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:33.880 there's one about Canada that's kind of like that style. It's on Hulu, 409 00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:36.319 though, and I think you would love it. I think you would think 410 00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:40.880 it's pretty hilarious. Um, I gotta I'll figure it out. You Have 411 00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:47.039 Hulu. Maybe I got it all right last time. You did most of 412 00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:49.680 the talking, I think this time, but pretty even. That's why I 413 00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:53.480 tried to scale back, because I don't like myself. I don't like I 414 00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:57.599 don't either, but I gotta get used to it. Now. We're never 415 00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:04.920 really huh. What are you gonna do after this? Jack off to your 416 00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:12.920 Avatar? I don't like him. Appreciate the honesty.
