Speaker 4:Whatever she said whatever she said the best podcast you'll ever see. I love it. I'm already.
Speaker 1:I'm already gonna ask her for something 30 seconds in. It's her first day we gotta haze the yeah, that's messed up. Could I, could I trouble you for every single glass on my shelf besides the wine glasses?
Speaker 4:are you just gonna put, because how many bottles I got four. Oh shit, that's perfect. Right Like the top ones, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 5:I need all of them.
Speaker 1:She's a waitress, she does it. Oh really, oh, this is perfect. I got the best team in the world. Man, let's go. Yeah, let's get it.
Speaker 4:no, no, no, not this he said he was gonna take a shot for every question I have.
Speaker 1:I have like yeah, you said that you had 26 questions.
Speaker 4:Yeah, but then I added three, four actually, because the elon one too look at this presentation oh so classy what he will. No, honestly, he's very like knowledgeable.
Speaker 1:You can tell like that shit's expensive so I I got this gift set that someone uh got for me very nice person who gave you this myself patrick, of course you fucking did anyways, I've always wanted to do like a, a real-time taste test to see if I can even like taste a difference. Actually we should make one of those like cardboard boxes and I can't see what it is pauses. No, I'll see if I can figure them out first and then, yeah, we'll go from there yeah, okay, okay, I think I feel like I should give some context about you for this.
Speaker 4:No, yeah this is my lovely assistant mckenzie, who built me like for what a couple years yeah, okay, I was actually thinking about that before we started, like how long I I don't know, but I've known Pat since I was like so young, yeah, but yeah, your mom's the homie yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, I'm very appreciative of you being on camera and doing this.
Speaker 1:I feel like it's good to give people a little bit of context about me, since I have all these brands and I'm signing up ambassadors and I have a few other products I'm launching and, um, I want to do my best to kind of put a face to the brand and make it more like personable, because that's like the whole idea of each brand giving back and and each wolf like has a meaning. So, yeah, I think it's important. So I appreciate you being here on this, johnny Walker over Johnny with me and I gave Mackenzie free reign for questions. It was kind of like I was like do five questions about like business, personal, some controversial shit, and I have no idea what she wrote down some controversial shit and I have no idea what she wrote down. I trust her um to either get me canceled or yeah, but we'll see. Um, yeah, but yeah, thank you for being here and I I appreciate it. And, as you're asking questions, I'm also doing a science experiment, between which, johnny walker, I like the best.
Speaker 4:So okay, okay, I have one more. Would you rather okay before, like the actual questions. Okay, would you rather have everybody you know be able to read your thoughts, or everyone you know have access to your internet history?
Speaker 1:damn so thoughts or history I feel like I haven't always looked up the things that I thought, so I'll do the internet yeah, no, I was 100 yeah, I've definitely looked up some weird shit. No for sure, I feel like everyone has but like my thoughts, god no yeah, no, for sure that that'd be unfortunate, right if someone had to deal with that.
Speaker 4:So but yeah, that's it for that. I have more, would you? It's like I have more whatever. I have two more, would you rather? But it's in like the last section of questions that I have, so I'm gonna like hold off on that. Is that good oh?
Speaker 1:it's just so much better than the black Fuck.
Speaker 4:That's what she said, come on.
Speaker 1:You know? No, I'm staying in If you try. You know I don't care, let's go All right.
Speaker 4:Okay, do you want to go with the?
Speaker 1:I'm going to give you free reigns. Okay, to do whatever is going to make it most comfortable for you.
Speaker 4:Okay, make it most comfortable for you. Okay, I think you'll love these questions.
Speaker 1:All right.
Speaker 4:Hit me with it. First personal question yeah, can you share a bit?
Speaker 3:about your background and what led you to become a business owner I could.
Speaker 1:I started personal training when I got out of high school.
Speaker 1:It was my first job which, if you think about getting out of high school and your first job being a personal trainer, like I was never, like I never worked at McDonald's or I didn't do anything that was kind of I probably should have done but I became a personal trainer and I did that probably for like a decade and eventually it kind of got to a point where I was like, is this my life? And I know like it sounds really cool to be a personal trainer, but really I felt like I was a professional, like counter, like I would have dreams that night of me going five or and I was like what the fuck is my life? And um it, it just became so mundane and eventually I was like all right, I need to figure out how the fuck to get out of this. Like rat race, because even like owning a gym and then still having to like deal with people and like personally train, it's like 45 minutes, like an hour of honestly like listening to people's problems yeah, which is a lot you know.
Speaker 1:And then I, for some reason, would always attract these like middle-aged women. I have no idea why. My mom no, I'm not. Yeah, I mean she was one of the great ones, you know, like your mom yeah like she's great and it just became like too much, um, eventually.
Speaker 1:So I went back to school, I got on my bachelor's and then I got another bachelor's um, I have bachelor's in holistic health and I have one in human biology and then I decided to go to chiropractic school.
Speaker 1:So that was on the other side of the country and in school again, I had that same feeling of like when I was a trainer and I was like, damn, I feel like I'm still gonna be in that same kind of category. I just am gonna be wearing like a better outfit and I'm more respected, more, I guess to a degree, right, and I just didn't. I was just, I was right back where I was before and then, coincidentally, like while I was in chiropractic school, there was this uh beautiful like trail next to my house that I would walk all the time and I started listening to this like financial freedom, like podcast. And it was during that while someone was walking by me wearing Gymshark and I was like what a simple little logo and that's like a billion dollar corporation. And then I've always liked wolves and I'm like I wonder if people like wolves more than sharks. Maybe I I do right.
Speaker 1:So I kind of like use that justification to kind of be like I want to start some form of a brand that has to do with wolves, and I love the simplicity of the gym shark logo and people be like oh you fucking copy gym shark. Every every idea that people have is basically just recycled information or a different like iteration of someone else's idea, you know so, um, the world's abundant and we can all be creative. I mean, if it was a shark, that'd be different. But anyways, back to the fucking point, right? Um, so I thought of this wolf and then like the, like the. I'm like, damn, I can really take this somewhere.
Speaker 1:And then, inside of that, every time people think about, like they think about being rich, it's always a question of when I get rich, what can I do? And for me it was who can I take care of? I do. And for me it was who can I take care of? And there's been so many people in my life that I would give back to. And then I was like, why don't I incorporate that into my business?
Speaker 1:And then I started to make these wolves. I mean, you're wearing the pink one, so the pink one donates to, like a woman's rights and empowerment. Oh, there's a gold one that donates to like uh women's rights and empowerment. Oh, there's a gold one that donates to uh wolf sanctuaries. I have one that donates to like uh wounded veterans. I have suicide prevention one, the american red cross. Um, I have a native american rights fund. I got a bunch of different ones and it just became more of like a personable brand where people can kind of like represent, I guess, like kind of like what they stand for or like who they are. So it kind of started off of like me trying to get out of the rat race and then having this profound like discovery and an idea that kind of like propelled me to be like I want to do this, I want to start my own business, and then here we are, you know.
Speaker 1:So that's beautiful yeah, right, thank you so much you just answered, like so many of my questions oh no, no, ask them and I'll it's fine I can go further.
Speaker 4:No one of the other questions was like what was your first job? And then, oh, you just said it's fine, don't answer it yet I can make some shit up for you and then it was like. I asked like is there a story behind the wolf?
Speaker 1:but you just answered that see, I'm way ahead of you. This is that's what I'm um in terms of like personal growth, or or business or however, you um influential I put this in the personal section yeah, no it
Speaker 1:honestly, is up to you obviously honestly, when I started to make like transitions in my life, I started seeing a life coach. His name is glenn ambrose. Um, obviously I'm giving him a shout out right now. He kind of was like the father figure I never had and he really, kind of, like it, set me on a path for like self accountability and holding myself responsible, and he got me thinking more about to kind of seek what is more cool and enjoyable than what's safe. So, and while he was life coaching me in real time, I saw him do that same exact thing. I saw him life coach me at a building in Coventry and then I saw him move to Florida and now he lives on a mountain in the Dominican.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:And when you were walking in, I was in a session oh, that's who you were talking to.
Speaker 2:I was in a session with him.
Speaker 1:So it's cool to have someone that, like, inspires you and coaches you and can kind of show you the way, but also someone that is also living it too, because I mean, you could go to, like, to a therapist who was just going to go home and just be a raging alcoholic or something, and so I was blessed to have that, and my mom introduced me to him because she got sober I think she's been sober for over 15 years and she's someone that. He's someone that, uh, she met and she put me in touch with him. So, yeah, shout out to her and shout out to him.
Speaker 4:Oh, yeah okay, that's cool. Yeah, because you can see him like living his best life. Yeah, oh yeah okay he's living his best life, for sure okay, if you don't like want to answer any of these, you can tell me too. I'm gonna answer them okay, what is a challenge you have faced in your life that has significantly shaped who you are today?
Speaker 1:you should fucking pull it out my heartstrings. What are you doing? What are you doing? Um damn, that's deep.
Speaker 4:I thought you said they weren't deep no, some of them are just just the personal ones are the business. I'm giving you a hard time.
Speaker 1:Um, I don't know. I think there's to be blunt, there's been an accumulation of trauma. I don't think there was like one straw that broke the camel's back. I think there was numerous amounts of things and then I got to a point where, like those things were just kind of in the back of me and then it was making little things a bit more prominent and I'd freak out over the dumbest shit, and when I was at that point I was like okay, I need to, and then I ended up talking to glenn. So, um, I don't think that there's really any one thing and I definitely don't want to make this like a fucking drama. No, no, no, you know. But, um, I will say it's in a I think for a lot of people there like might be something that I'd say breaks the dam, but I didn't have like a rock bottom. I think I'm a pretty resilient person and I had a lot of rock bottoms and eventually I was like I don't want to have any more rock bottoms.
Speaker 4:So if I hope that, no, yeah, no, yeah, I honestly would have no idea.
Speaker 1:No, that was good no yeah okay, I mean, I could have just said yeah, you could have just broke down.
Speaker 2:You know, just broke down, you know, yeah, yeah, Wait, it's so depressing. No, I'm not going to do that? No, that's perfectly fine.
Speaker 4:Okay, what role does self-discipline play in your daily life and how do you maintain it?
Speaker 2:Hmm.
Speaker 1:Sheesh, I think that's everything you know. Like, even me drinking now it's kind of like a celebration and I don't want to put alcohol on a pedestal because obviously it can ruin families, it can ruin lives. But to say I deserve it, I mean I don't want to make it. I feel like alcoholics would say some shit like that, so I don't want to say that. But I got up, I ate well, I exercised, I got done what I needed to get done for myself. So it's like I guess I could justify it like a little more. So I think self-discipline can like really shape your entire existence.
Speaker 1:I think people need some form of it. I think it started for me when I started intermittent fasting. Me, when I started intermittent fasting, it was just something that I could hold onto, that could give me some type of I guess, structure right, like if I'm going to eat between one o'clock in the afternoon and like nine at night, that was like fuck, I can actually do something and stick to it. So, um, I think that is probably the biggest thing that people struggle with is just they think too much in their own heads. They write a plan out, they try to stick to it, like one day doesn't go their way and they give up which I've been guilty of, you know, but it definitely. You have to have some form of schedule and you have to commit to it and you have to take care of yourself, and that has propelled me to have all of this.
Speaker 4:So, yeah, no, it's like one of the most important things that you could have. I thought you were going to like that question, cause I think you're very like, disciplined and I try, I try, but then again, like I like to have fun too, like I'm a party boy too it's like even like, even like with this.
Speaker 1:I heard something that was like uh, every night that you drink, you're borrowing tomorrow's happiness, because you wake up like hungover and you feel like shit. So it's like, if I'm gonna drink, I'm gonna have, yeah, one hell of a time then. So yeah, let's keep going okay what was okay, sorry.
Speaker 4:What was your personal turning point in taking health more seriously? Oh, that's a great question thank you, yeah, it took me a long time fuck.
Speaker 1:So I'm not gonna act like I've always been on top of the wagon. I've been on and off the wagon for years and I think when you're younger and I'm sure you too can attest to this like you have a fast metabolism, like if you drink, you probably don't get that hung over. I just turned 31, unfortunately, but like if I, when I'm hung over, it lasts a couple of days. When I'm hung over, it lasts a couple of days. So I think the older I got, the more things started to affect me more and I actually had a health scare recently. So I guess what I'm trying to say is before I could justify eating and doing things like an asshole because I would either burn it off or I was exercising to that capacity or I was doing something and I had a faster metabolism then.
Speaker 1:And now I did have a health scare, probably like a year and a half ago, two years ago. That was kind of like eye-opening for me and it sucks that it had to get to that point. I don't know if it was avoidable, but I think for most people when they have something like that, it's oh shit, I need to take it seriously. Plus, like I got, I have kids, I have goals, I have aspirations. Um, I need to be here and I need to be around. So, yeah, there was a health scare a short while back that I don't really want to talk about no yeah it's all good.
Speaker 1:It's a funny story. I just don't know if I should really say it on camera yeah, so okay, okay, what's? Your.
Speaker 4:I probably should just say what you can cut it out. You don't have to say it like I, really, I, I don't care, I'm gonna say okay, I'm gonna take a shot first oh god, wait. Were we like, was I like, working for you when this happened?
Speaker 1:yeah, oh yeah, for sure, yeah, because I was with yulia oh shit okay yeah so, anyways, no filter. We were having sex in the shower. I'm just telling the story all right and I.
Speaker 4:During this, I shot a kidney stone out yeah god, fucking horrible right did that come out of your asshole?
Speaker 1:no do you know how kidney stones work.
Speaker 4:Oh, it comes out of your, yeah, yeah while I was no yeah, it was the first thing that came out.
Speaker 1:Crazy, right, oh my God. What the doctor said is that Wait, that must have been so painful.
Speaker 4:You have no idea. Oh my God, at least she's a nurse, though. At least she was like there to like help you.
Speaker 1:Oh, shoot, what the hell.
Speaker 4:Well, obviously she can't do much.
Speaker 1:No. So I went to the doctor and they, like he said, sometimes it can get like stuck somewhere and you'll either like pee it out, but in my case I shot it out.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Which is a lot more painful, I guess, but anyways. So that had led me to get like testing on my kidneys and stuff like that. And while I was getting imaging done on my kidneys, they found a spot on my liver that I don't really know what it is. I would it could be cancerous, I'm not sure. Yeah, I haven't gone back and gotten more testing on it, but I wouldn't get chemo or radiation anyways. I would just make lifestyle choices and I would tackle it on my own. So but so and as of like this point, I'm in the best health health I've ever been in. I feel the best. Obviously, this is probably not doing me too good, you know, but I take really good care of myself now, compared to you know, yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, At that point so now compared to no, yeah, yeah at that point. So, um, yeah, anyways. Oh my gosh, I could not know. There's something on my liver and like, all right, you know. I mean like I couldn't like know there's something there and like not know if it's like cancer or not, because my mom had like growths. I guess you could say like in like her, like vagina, okay, like in like the walls, and they were like polyps but they weren't cancerous, which was like they still removed them.
Speaker 4:But like it's like better to like know.
Speaker 1:You know of course like definitely better I mean, I found out on accident like they were looking at my kidneys oh right and they went a little higher up and they saw it and they just kind of put it in the report. So I'm like, oh, my kidneys are good. And I'm like, what the fuck?
Speaker 2:Your liver.
Speaker 1:What is that at the bottom? Yeah, yeah, it was kind of it's an eerie experience, honestly.
Speaker 4:Yeah, no, it's definitely scary. Okay, on a lighter note, what's your current diet and fitness routine?
Speaker 1:Because I'm drinking whiskey. No, I don't do this often. I mean, like you met me, Met me, you knew me obviously, like when I was shooting podcasts with Lexi, I was drinking all the time.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Every time you picked me up, I was cooked. Yeah, I know, I was fucking cooked and it's like you probably haven't seen me drinking in like quite some time or as frequent, so anyways, um, I was intermittent fasting for a while. That kind of faded out through, like the research that I discovered. I'm now following more of like I don't know if you call like it like a paleo diet, but I just cut out all kinds of shit carbs like any kind of white bread or pasta and white potatoes.
Speaker 3:You know as I'm talking about it as I'm talking about.
Speaker 1:But it's such a fucking drug and when I cut them out for two weeks straight I was nauseous and felt like dog shit and then after that, like my energy levels have been completely flatlined, like I don't get a burst of energy and then crash anymore because after, like you eat carbohydrates, you're like I feel like a fat asshole. And then, like you have to take a nap, you feel like shit and I don't operate on a normal schedule. Like I get up at like six or seven in the morning and I'm here until like midnight. I sleep five or six hours, so I can't really afford to have like these crashes in my diet. So I kind of was like anything that makes me feel like shit, I'm going to cut out, and anything that I feel good when I consume, I'm going to leave that in me. Feel like shit, I'm going to cut out, and anything that I feel good when I consume, I'm going to leave that in. And like most people are looking for this like end all, fix all or like magic pill and they don't have any patience and like, if you're perspicacious enough about the things that you're consuming and what makes you feel like shit and what doesn't, it becomes very apparent what you should be consuming and what you shouldn't be.
Speaker 1:So I took that approach and that's kind of what I'm doing now and then for fitness at my house I just got, I bought a steam sauna, I bought a cold bunch, I bought an infrared light blanket and I bought a bunch of gym equipment.
Speaker 1:Like for me going to the gym, like driving, like 20 minutes working out and then 20 minutes home, I honestly don't have time for.
Speaker 1:So I walk out to my garage, I work out, I'll do the sauna After I exercise. On my cardio days I do the cold plunge before and then on my rest days I do the infrared light before and then on my rest days I do the infrared light and then for fitness, I just kind of do what's most enjoyable for me. I'll do like strength training some days, I'll do boxing training, um, some other days, and I just kind of mix it up and just make it more of enjoyable than a job, because so many people they just like, they're like training to be a bodybuilder, even though they have like a full-time job and a family, and they're exhausted all the time. I work out to the point where it gives me energy and then I leave, I don't, I don't redline and feel like shit right, like I used to do that, like I was a fucking bodybuilder, like I was a lot bigger like a while ago and, um, like bodybuilding is so time consuming.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you eat so disgusting, I'm sorry I, it's all it's all ego lifting yeah, it's all like I was lifting out of ego. I mean, I mean, every man I feel like operates out of the need and will for power, and when you feel big, you feel powerful. Yeah, when you feel like the strongest person in the room, it gives you some sense of internal credibility. Maybe that's what it did for me, and I got to a point where I'm like I'd rather feel like my joints aren't falling apart because I just lifted 400 pounds. So, yeah, I'm at a point now where the better I feel is the better I feel. That's a great question, mac. These are all great questions. Thank you.
Speaker 4:Okay, this is the last personal question. Okay, hit me with it If you could give advice to your younger self. What would it be?
Speaker 1:and why is this one of those like, oh, like, go back in time and invest in in bitcoin type of shit? I feel like that's a very cliche answer you know, um, um, I don't know. I'd say I think so many people these days struggle with being their authentic self and I feel like for a while I kind of put on a mask to be accepted more and I would just be like I go back and be like nah man Be yourself.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it sounds so cliche and just so like a shitty ass answer, but it's so true. You just, I think the more you try and step outside yourself and be what other people want you to be, the older you get in life and the more that like no one's around, the more it becomes difficult to actually figure out who you are. So, yeah, from the jump, it'd be like fuck them yeah yeah, just be you that's what I would say too.
Speaker 1:Okay, business questions business questions and okay, so this one is fire sucks ass anyways. Oh, the gold's really good. This is um. I think this is the best one and this is the most expensive anyways, anyways, no sometimes no, it's more for me than you yeah let's okay, I don't.
Speaker 4:I just want to see, if you like, because you answered some of my questions that's okay all right business. Question number one what inspired you to start your brand? Well, you kind of answered that when you were talking about like, yeah, the gym shark the person. Yeah, yeah, yeah right, you don't have to answer that, okay. And then the thing was the. The next one was about the wolf, but I have three more, so, okay, what has been the most effective strategy for growing your brand so far?
Speaker 1:Patience. So when most people start a brand or they start anything, they do a couple of things wrong. At first. They're very gung ho about their idea and they'll take out a massive loan and they'll get all like everything under one roof. They'll be like, okay, it's if I build it, they will come. That's not always true. So, um, I kind of took the opposite approach to that. I started. I started very yeah, did you hear that? No little ding in the in the microphone sound check. No, I'm just, I'm just messing with you I was just messing with you.
Speaker 1:no, no, no. Oh, this is great, all right. What was the question again?
Speaker 4:No, remember it was about like what was the most effective strategy. You said patience. That makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so many people. They have an idea and they just kind of flood the market with it and if it doesn't work then they get discouraged yeah my first release of my clothing got barely any sales and I'm like, okay, that's it for me, I'm done.
Speaker 1:And then there was like a little voice was like shut the fuck up. And there was a kid that said something to me like which is so funny because, like you would feel like you would hear like rude comments from people like on the internet, and it would kind of like make it go a certain way. But some kid was like I think you have a great idea here, but I wouldn't buy any of your products because I don't think you fulfilled it yet. And that really made me go deep inside internally, which made me then start dropping exclusive releases, like make an ambassador program, and it really like took my design to the next level.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, I think patience, I think like really just having a good idea. I mean it has to start with a good idea and then try a bunch of different uh tools and tactics, see what the market responds to. If you think you have the best idea and you run ads and you get no sales and no one even like bites on it, you might have to change it up a little bit. So that's what I've done over the past, like I ate shit for a couple of years and now I'm at a point where I'm like fucking worth it.
Speaker 4:So okay, I feel like you kind of just answered that's no, yeah, no you're good no, the next question I had was what advice would you give to someone who is just starting out in the business world?
Speaker 1:but yeah, yeah, I mean start small. Like if you're starting like a coffee brand like buy five pounds of coffee.
Speaker 4:Yeah, and see what right, you don't want to buy like a million t-shirts and then, but that's what people do you know like?
Speaker 1:they think that and and it is empowering it is empowering when you have this idea and it clicks and you're like I need to go on Shark Tank, I need to do this. And you have to start small, see how the market responds, go from there, be patient and yeah, the rest will fall into place. And also, like ask don't ask the wrong. This is huge. Don't ask the wrong people about your business idea, because you don't really realize how many people around you are jealous or they can't even fully comprehend your idea. So if I, like, would have gone to the wrong person about my idea, they would have been like, well, there's already this out there. It's a saturated market. I went to the right people, people that actually or don't go to anybody you know. But if you can, like, find someone that is actually maybe in the industry or has an optimistic outlook on life, so yeah, that's huge.
Speaker 4:Yeah, they don't want to see you win it. Yeah, they don't want yeah, it's true. Okay, last business question what are your future business goals and where do you see your brands the next five years?
Speaker 1:That's a great question. Well, I am. I rebranded a couple of things, so that is launching next month, and then I'm working on two more products. One is have you heard of Mudwater and Rise Coffee?
Speaker 4:Rise yes.
Speaker 1:So it's nothing like that, because it's a lot better. But I am launching a product like that and then I'm also launching another clothing brand that is more for, like, just men and all the, and a lot of the proceeds will go to help prevent a male suicide. Um it, it'll be like more drives around men and then, as far as my brands go, continue to grow, get more ambassadors, grow the howell family, because everything's howell now. So I have the supplements, I have the apparel, I have the coffee and I have the smokes too. So I'll probably add more to the lineup as because, like my website is called the howalifecom, it's meant to be a lifestyle brand for people that like good apparel, they like to drink coffee and take care of themselves and take supplements, and for the few that like to smoke on something too.
Speaker 1:I try to appease everyone. But yeah, I think in five years I mean next month I start a crazy marketing campaign. So it's already doing amazing, which I'm so grateful for. But yeah, I think in five years it'll be, yeah, something different. For sure I'm excited.
Speaker 4:Good, why did I just make that noise? It's you, oh, it's me. It's you. Your hand is covering your face, that's okay I got nice hands, I'll keep them down okay, that is.
Speaker 1:I was shamed I was just shamed. This is no thank you.
Speaker 4:The fun begins because these are like the controversial and like the sea of the world questions hold on hold on let's get fucking canceled.
Speaker 1:wait, wait, wait, hold up, hold up.
Speaker 4:You're going to like this next question.
Speaker 1:No, I'm going to refill quick.
Speaker 2:All right.
Speaker 4:You know what ASMR?
Speaker 1:Right, I've always wanted to. Oh, it sounds really cool, honestly, this was ass. I can't even drink this one anymore. What, yeah, what? I'll take it off your hands. Imagine you just chug it.
Speaker 4:Do you want a sip of this, Sophia? It's whiskey Her face.
Speaker 2:It's whiskey.
Speaker 4:It doesn't even taste good.
Speaker 1:It's an acquired taste.
Speaker 4:It smells like vodka Whiskey this Johnny Walker.
Speaker 2:We need a camera for her.
Speaker 1:We need a camera to pan to.
Speaker 2:That would be great. That would be so funny that would be amazing.
Speaker 1:I'm going to start asking you questions. Do you feel like you're being replaced right now? Is it weird?
Speaker 4:No, because now I'm the new co-host, that's perfect, that's great, I love it.
Speaker 1:Yes, so that one's off the board.
Speaker 4:Yeah, any, what do you give it out?
Speaker 1:of 10 zero no, no, it's not a zero, because I've been drinking it for a while.
Speaker 4:Um this is the black one, yeah, oh.
Speaker 1:I mean red is like bottom of the barrel type shit and like blue is the most affordable, I'd say. And you want to keep?
Speaker 2:your expenses low yeah.
Speaker 4:Okay, do you want to ask a question?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I did ask.
Speaker 4:Oh, you asked me a question.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I said do you feel replaced by her?
Speaker 4:Yeah and I answered no because we're new co-hosts.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4:I think we'll probably do more of these. We should. This is fun and we can get sophia gamer too.
Speaker 1:It can go why you want to be on camera yes, she does I mean, I'm gonna be blunt with you, like next month, the marketing budget is pretty crazy, so there's gonna be a lot of people that at least click on this really it's okay like I hope they hundreds of thousands are like that's the ads that I'm like. No, no, like it's gonna reach a lot.
Speaker 4:I hope so, like I probably know, and I probably look, I'm probably talking like stupid.
Speaker 1:I almost said I'd get canceled for saying that see, yeah, I would, yeah, I don would, yeah, but if that's your authentic self, just be you.
Speaker 4:No, you gotta cut this out. No, but honestly, I hope people see this For you, not for me.
Speaker 1:No, you're part of the team. Big dog, little wolf, okay, current state of the world questions.
Speaker 4:Yes, well, alright, this is, this is like I don't know if you would say the second one's more current state of the world, this one's more, whatever you'll like it on average, it takes 10 to 15 years to develop a vaccine. How do you feel about the speed at which the covid vaccine was released?
Speaker 1:holy shit.
Speaker 1:So I will say a real lot about this I know, I know you will um, I had to ask so when I was in chiropractic school, it was during covid, and I was in a class of 180 people and there was a lot of like dialogue about this vaccine and I think out of 180 people, 179 probably got it. Then I didn't, and my school was sending out these emails of this is fucking crazy. Emails of this is fucking crazy. So, but the vaccine was mandatory unless you had a religious exemption, and at that point I'm like, oh well, fuck you. So I submit a religious exemption that I'm a buddhist and I I can show you the fucking email it's like it's.
Speaker 1:It's almost like I was just seeing if they would accept it or not, because it said the most ridiculous shit in there. It was like a vaccine is outside thy person, of self and to thyself be true. I have to show you this shit and the school accepted it during clinicals and during this and during that will have to separate you from the vaccinated people to make sure they're safe. So eventually I mean I don't want to act like. That was the only reason why I left the program. There was, like I stated, all the reasons earlier, all the reasons earlier.
Speaker 1:Um, the whole thing to me felt like a sham. It didn't feel real, it didn't feel like tangible. Um, and as we've like discovered recently. You know I don't want to get like into the data because yada, yada, but for my personal experience I feel like everyone that didn't get the shot is happy that they didn't get it, and everyone that did get it is like why the fuck did I get that? And then there's some people that are going to get all the boosters, which is fucking insane to me, crazy, tough topic, because I look at it from a standpoint of a lot of the preservatives and things that are inside of a vaccine Like the COVID vaccine has something called hydroxybutylt4 in it and it's a lipid that helps the vaccine get inside of your membrane. They took hydroxybutylt4 and they gave it to. I don't know if it was mice or it was rats, but they gave that amount to either rice or mats. Rice or mats, holy shit, mice or rats.
Speaker 4:I didn't even pick it up for a second.
Speaker 1:Anyways, 100% of them got cancer. And everyone's like well, it's such a small amount, yada, yada, yada, and I'm like you're injecting it into your body, it's not like you're consuming it. Everyone is like, well, there's preservatives in our food. And I'm like, yeah, but would you rather ingest a preservative where your stomach can maybe like get rid? Of it, or would you? Take that and fucking inject it into your veins yeah it's the most insane thing to me.
Speaker 1:so, besides the covid vaccine, I think that vaccines in general aren't as safe as they say they are, and I would be more okay with them being on the market if they were like hey, listen, there's a crazy outbreak right now of polio and if you take this vaccine it will help prevent you from getting it, which is good, because you could die if you get it. But when you're in your 70s or 80s or 90s, you have a higher chance of getting dementia or Alzheimer's. Like, let me make that decision, don't just be like it's completely safe, because there's just there's no fucking way that every vaccine is safe right, and they just push it on you like you have to get it to mandatory, like nothing's fucking yeah, no, it's no, and you're saying about like the cancer, like the I almost said rice and mats, matt, fuck, rats and mice were getting kissing.
Speaker 4:I again it's like have you been drinking? No, no. But my mom she works at like the outpatient infusion unit and like she's very against like covet she had to get the shots, but she's like very against it, like blah, blah and after she got the vaccine she was having like heart problems, whatever. Yeah, but she works at the outpatient infusion unit which is like all chemo like where they have chemo like cancer patients and she says like you will not believe the amount of fucking people who have cancer.
Speaker 4:She swears it's from the shot for sure she's obviously maybe like smoking whatever, but like that's crazy for that many people to like, I'll go in there. People are going in and out like crazy, like all these people have cancer they have crazy the medical industry.
Speaker 1:So the doctor that I had on recently, um, you know what, just when it comes out after this, yeah, it goes into that podcast. Because that, um, I want to have him on again. And then the doctor so I did I have a newborn son. He's he's six weeks old and they're like at the hospital they're trying to push all this crazy shit on him and in that podcast I talk about it.
Speaker 1:Um, but the doctor that I end up finding for him was in the emergency room for 25 years of his life and during COVID he had this immense realization that something is up here. And after being in the ER for 25 years, he was like I don't want to be a part of this anymore. 25 years he was like I don't want to be a part of this anymore. Like and that says something too like you have people coming in, and I mean even I saw on a podcast elon musk talking about hospitals that were getting more money from the covid funds, where if someone came in and they were exhibiting symptoms of covid, they could treat that person normally or and make a few grand, or they could put them on a ventilator and make 30. What are you gonna do? This is one of the richest man in the he in the world. Saying that he's like he makes.
Speaker 4:Do you know how much money he makes in like a second? I fucking looked it up. It's fucking insane. He's like endorsing Trump and he's donating Trump like $45 million a month. No, it might be like $450 million. I'm not even kidding, I looked it up. The amount of money he makes in a day is what nobody fucking makes in a lifetime, like it was crazy.
Speaker 1:It's crazy. But for him to come out and basically like blow the whistle off of it. And it's so funny because people are like, oh well, you're not like a medical doctor and he was like I designed spaceships and they have life supports. So, yeah, I don't want to go like too far down the rabbit hole of like vaccines, but I think that people like, if you're about to inject something into your body, look at what's in it and be like what does this do? What does that do? And then make a decision for yourself. But everyone makes what I call a fear-based decision. Like the doctors, they put fear in you. Oh, what about grandma?
Speaker 1:and what about this and what about that? Yeah like do your own research. Don't just listen to like. These are just humans who had certain like certain schooling, and I don't think that they have ill intentions, but I also don't think that they know exactly the truth, like they're just being told what like right, yeah. So I like do your own research, you know and yeah.
Speaker 4:OK carry on that was a great question, thank you. Are you concerned about the future and how it will impact your children as they grow up?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, for sure, oh yeah, for sure. I do think that there is kind of a sway right now. I think that it was going really far to one side and we were getting to a place where, oh my God, I mean, what could you even do or say? And I feel like there are certain people in the media that kind of brought it back this way and I, I think now, to a degree, it might be finding its equilibrium, but at any point in time, it feels like there are powers that be who, I mean, I think, probably control the planet. You know. Um, I don't want to get too. We should start like a conspiracy.
Speaker 1:I know my mom was like me to ask you about like aliens and ufos and I was like I'm not fucking asking that I watch a lot of like really weird.
Speaker 1:No, I was gonna ask you because, like I like go on tiktok and I'm like conspiracy, like I look them up and I just oh yeah, it's rabbit hole, but, um, I think that the world that my kids will be left with will be the one that I portray to them, if that makes any sense. Like I, when I leave this world, my goal is to have raised, obviously, like the best children, teach them the best life lessons and let them be open-minded. And even if the world isn't a fucked up place, I want to be able to, like, leave them with the mental capacity to still make it their own, like, even in this state of the world. If it goes a certain way. I'm getting out of this country because other countries don't operate like this, and I'm hoping that my kids will also be able to make those kind of decisions where, as fucked up as this is, I don't want to be part of it. So I'm just gonna go over here until it kind of subsides work yeah, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 4:You're a great father, pat appreciate that. Thank you okay, that is. Those are the only two questions that I had for, like, the state of the world yeah, you're good these are controversial questions oh getting out okay I need some blue label for that take a sip. Oh yeah, I really like these questions.
Speaker 1:I feel like we need a check-in. Are you good over there?
Speaker 4:yeah, how's it going? It's an hour, what the fuck. I have 12 more questions, but they shouldn't be.
Speaker 1:As long as you're good, and you're good, we already know your first job, and they shouldn't be like wicked long answers.
Speaker 4:I mean these ones might be. What are your thoughts on Andrew Tate and his influence on social media?
Speaker 1:that's a great question. Second question have I been touching my face again too much?
Speaker 4:oh shit, I'll ask you better yeah, I'm like trying like I'm gonna ask you again yes so yes, sorry no, yeah, okay, what are your your thoughts on Andrew Tate and his influence on social media?
Speaker 1:I feel like you have to break Tate down into three different categories. Obviously, he has a legal case which is of the law. I think he has a motivational factor to him and I also think that there is a factor where people portray him as a misogynist. So it's it's kind of tough. Um, I think if you listen to him in in a short format, it's easy to be like he's a fucking misogynist.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Do. I think that's true. I've listened to him in in long format and I think that the things that he says I believe a lot of it is satire. I also believe he knows how to also bring out emotionality inside of people, where he'll say something to draw your attention. I mean I could say something to you in a certain way and it would draw no emotional response, but then I could say it the same thing but in a different way and I could bring the emotionality out in you and that gives me more power and control. He's learned how to do that, which makes him one of the most influential people in the world.
Speaker 1:One of the most influential people in the world have, I think, he said misogynistic things? Yeah, but if you go to a male locker room you'll hear a lot worse or so. To address the misogyny, right? He said some shit, woman can't drive, they can't this, they can't that, right? I mean some of it's satire. Some might be true to his personal experience. I also know that if the things he was saying was in a song, it'd be accepted. Like you take someone like rick ross where, like his song, uh, you know it and he's like molly opened her drink, she didn't even know it. I took her home and enjoyed that. She didn't even know it like that that I've never heard tate say some shit like that so I think that it gets purported a certain way.
Speaker 1:Um, I also think, like for tate, for the motivational factor. I think he learned that the majority of the population is asleep. When most people wake up in the morning, their alarm goes off and they snooze it. It goes off again, they snooze it. It goes off again and they snooze it. He became a blaring alarm that wakes you the fuck up.
Speaker 1:So he learned that most people, honestly, are so lazy and are so asleep that he has to like, almost be this like megaphone that is blowing in your ear to get a response out of you and to wake you the fuck up. Because he does talk a lot about like, uh, like, being a man providing, protecting, xyz. So he's right on that front. And then, as far as, like the legal case goes, they have found no real legal evidence that he's done any of the things that they said he did, and he has counter suits on the women that have put forth those cases, because there is text messages from the women that are saying we're gonna do to do this and we're going to call the cops, which is crazy. So, again, I think for the right people it's probably influential and for the people that are looking for something wrong. It's a detriment, you know. So that's, that's my personal opinion on him.
Speaker 4:Yeah, no, I don't know like anything about him.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Really.
Speaker 1:All. No, I don't know like anything about him. Yeah, really, all I've ever seen is like clips of him being like misogynist, of course, of course, but then like, if you listen to these like long format things, um, shortly after he'll make a joke about it or he'll say something like inspirational, but again it's a tactic. Like I was just watching a ufc fight and it was so funny because Joe Rogan had said on it oh my god, it was so funny. He was like he was saying the color of the opponent's shorts as black and then he said the other person's name who was also black, wearing white shorts. So it sounded like he said black Johnson wearing white shorts. And I'm like someone could fucking clip that and be like he. Right, and he said, and I even thought about oh, I'm going to clip that, I'm going to put it on fucking.
Speaker 4:TikTok and I'm going to.
Speaker 1:But I mean I would never do that, but the thought is there. It's like I can purport this any way I want with this seven second film, like and I can go from there. Now I'm not justifying anything like like that he said and I don't hold all those beliefs, obviously, but I mean to take like one stance on and to be like he's a misogynist human trafficker is just is fucking insane to me. Like you have to listen to him in long format and yeah, yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 4:I think it was before I got here. I was on instagram and on one of those like pages, I don't know, it said that they like just raided his house oh, they've done everything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I think I've looked into it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I'm not sure, I don't know, but yeah, okay, how do you feel about donald trump and his impact on politics and media?
Speaker 1:I think it depends on the media channel like some yeah yeah, some portray him as a hero, some portray him as a piece of shit. Honestly, I think the most american thing I've ever seen in my entire life was him taking a bullet to his head because your ear is a part of your head and him standing up and pumping his fucking fist in the air. I mean that I I try not to get into politics just because I don't really feel like the people in charge are really in charge yeah I.
Speaker 1:I don't think they have as much say, but but I think for someone like trump who doesn't really have a hidden agenda, maybe it's power, I don't know. I know that as far as so, when he was in office. Right, I will say this I feel that people tend to care about shit that they don't really care about. My everyday life is grinding going to work, doing business shit. Going to work, doing business shit. I go to the gas station and when I turn on the news, I don't want to hear anything about a world war. When he was in office, I know that every time I went to the gas station I was like these are really good prices.
Speaker 1:And I know every time on the news I didn't hear anything about wars no, there were no wars when he was so I mean, as far as my everyday life goes, when he was in office, it was honestly a much better way of life, because whatever is is existing and happening right now, I think, is putting a lot of people at a state of disease and, um yeah, yeah I may. Actually, you know, I've never voted before in my life, really Ever.
Speaker 4:I wasn't old enough to vote for the presidential, but I voted for, like the city council thing Okay. But yeah, I think I'll definitely vote.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm going to vote this year. And it's not going to be for the other side, kamala Harris, I mean.
Speaker 4:And Tim Walz. So you know no, you don't have to put this in, but you know they're trying to make that fucking bill or whatever the fuck, that children can get the gender affirming, whatever surgery, without their parents. Fuck off, are you fucking kidding me? Are you fucking? If I'm a parent one day and my kid is a girl and comes home with a dick, we're going back, yeah, like, yeah, no, put it back, put it back. But like, come on, like how can you even like that's so sad, like I don't?
Speaker 1:know you don't want to. It's crazy. I feel like you've said more fucking canceling shit than I have no, I know no, because this is actually how I this is good for you I don't have like a platform or anything and I probably never will after this.
Speaker 4:I'm just saying like, I just think that, like people don't like Trump because like his attitude and like the things that he can say, and yeah, like he said stuff, so has fucking Trump, so has fucking Kamala, whatever the fuck her name is they've all said shit like, if you're gonna fucking dig up everything anybody has ever said like, you're not gonna fucking like anybody for sure and like I just think that Trump was obviously he wants good for America Fucking Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1:He loves America, he does, he loves it, he loves it, he's fucking 70-what-something.
Speaker 4:He's almost 80. He could literally retire and be set for life?
Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4:But he's still here trying to like become president after he got like all these fucking whatever, after he was indicted, after everything that happened and he still wants to do good for the country.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just think that's crazy, that like people think that he's, so I'm going to give you the best analogy ever. So when people talk shit about Trump, I'm like, ok, if you had to have brain surgery right and you had two options, would you rather I know where you're going with this, would you? Rather have a surgeon that had the worst fucking bedside manner but he got the job done? Or would you rather have someone that had an okay record but he had the best bedside manner?
Speaker 4:yeah, people are like yeah, yeah, give me the dickhead like I'll go with the asshole that knows what he's doing over fucking everything every.
Speaker 1:So once I got into business I, I realized that everything is business yeah and when you become the president of the united states, you're running a massive corporation and it's a business and you have to act right, be a good leader, and whatever the fuck we've had is. Um, it's an embarrassment, and just because you demonize one side does not necessarily mean that you have to choose this side, which was what everyone is doing, and I think if you voted for biden or you're going to vote for camilla harris, you have some serious self-reflection to do yeah, especially after those three and a half fucking years, are we?
Speaker 4:this dude was fun, come on he's falling down the fucking stairs.
Speaker 1:He was sniffing kids. He was falling off bikes. How can you?
Speaker 4:like I just don't understand and like I saw a video fuck, you're gonna have to cut this because I don't remember what it was but it was something about.
Speaker 4:I think it was jdD Vance talking, maybe it wasn't, but they were saying how, like, since, like Joe Biden's not running again and it's like going to be Kamala, like they did that or something. Because, like, since, since Kamala was supposed to be with Joe Biden and now Joe Biden's gone but Kamala's still there, yeah, something about like his, the money that he has gotten from like all like the campaigning and shit will and go to her, some, something like that. I have no idea what the fuck I'm talking about. I'll show you the video, but like I don't know, it's just crazy to me that like she remember all that shit when she was like the da or whatever in california and she like kept evidence that like people were fucking innocent, were on death row, and like she wouldn't release the, even the fucking bitch. Like what the?
Speaker 1:fuck. Even the clintons, too, are off their fucking rockers. I mean, they're all fucking lizard people, right? Imagine I start going down the rabbit hole.
Speaker 4:They're all fucking lizard people literally like my parents are just like very conservative, so I feel like it definitely rubbed off on me and and like yeah, I watch fucking Fox news. I'm not watching CNN, so I don't see like the other side of it, but like I kind of do Cause, like I'll see like shit on Tik TOK too, and like people just try to like paint a bad picture of Trump and like I really just think he's for the people. It like both sides why she hates trump.
Speaker 1:No, no, she, no, she likes trump. Her family is very conservative too. I think that when you look at like the left and some of the things that they want, you're like okay yeah, no, yeah, I definitely agree with some other I fucking draw the line there and then on the right side, you're like okay, I mean it.
Speaker 1:it sucks that it comes to a point where you're like fuck neutrality because I have to choose a side. Yeah, and everyone in the media is now doing that. Trump is on fucking everyone's podcast these days. Theo Vaughn.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I just saw Theo Vaughn. He was with Elon Musk, he was with Aiden Ross, he was with he's always with, like the Nelk boy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which is crazy, because these are the most influential people in the world right. And if kamala wins, I swear to god I'll move out of this country. That's what my dad was saying one thousand percent my life coach is selling uh land in the dominican right now. I'll grab a deal. I'm fucking out like there's just no way that she wins with. I mean, fucking elon musk endorsed him, like I know everyone's endorsing him, so it's yeah well, that'd be crazy.
Speaker 4:She's fucking photoshopping photos like the fucking photos of her coming off the. I mean fucking. Elon Musk endorsed him. I know Everyone's endorsing him. Yeah well, if she wins, you know that's great. She's fucking.
Speaker 1:Photoshopping photos.
Speaker 4:The fucking photos of her coming off the plane. There's not a single person there. There was nobody there. All the people were all morphed, fucking weird.
Speaker 1:It was like artificial intelligence made it. Yes, that's the next question.
Speaker 4:Come on. Well, I can ask you about Elon Musk if you want to. I didn't put that down, but I wrote in Elon Musk.
Speaker 1:Let's do this. Would you like to do a guest question during this? Yeah, yeah, like you just come on and you just ask one of the questions, I feel like it's so boring over there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's my bad side.
Speaker 1:Is it really All right? Yeah, I'll just move over it's your bad side.
Speaker 4:She said this is like this side, yeah see, this is my good side.
Speaker 1:That's why I chose this side. It's always the left side.
Speaker 4:Actually, that's my worst side.
Speaker 1:So was that a no See? That's my worst side.
Speaker 4:Yeah. Is that a no?
Speaker 1:Is that a no, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 4:I'll still do. Just save one question for her. Save one, no, no, yeah, save one, yes, like at the for the end.
Speaker 1:Yeah, all right, she can ask the last one actually no, I kind of want to ask no, yeah, just save one. I mean, um no?
Speaker 4:I'll save the longest one for you to ask. Oh sorry, huh, I said I can. Yeah, yeah, she can talk.
Speaker 1:Oh great, I I feel like I've been, yeah, well. Well, I guess it is my show.
Speaker 4:It's in a couple of questions you can like, but not yet. Okay. Do you want to talk about how you feel about Elon Musk or no? You don't have to. Okay, how do you feel? What's your opinion?
Speaker 1:Damn, where do I start? I don't have anything specific.
Speaker 4:I wrote him in, yeah um, I definitely think I don't know like anything about him either. Shit, I know like the teslas there's a little and I know like he owns like x now, or does he? Yeah, right, he's still. That's all I know, and that he's like endorsing trump.
Speaker 1:Yes um, I mean this, I think, is probably one of the most intelligent people in the world right now as we speak. I think he probably has his own agenda, which I don't even necessarily think it's a bad one, but I think he cares about free speech. He cares about platforming the right people. I definitely I mean fuck, like how can you be against a guy whose agenda is to make society better, get us to fucking Mars? He designs, honestly, like the coolest cars, like if you ever drive a Tesla, you're like other cars seem stupid, like it's almost kind of weird. I definitely think he is for the good of humanity. I trust the majority of the shit that he says. I don't know how they haven't killed him yet, like which is more, I guess, conspiracy driven, but he's, he said a lot of shit and he's doing a lot of things. I'm like how's like they haven't put a hit on this motherfucker?
Speaker 1:yeah um, but I'm all for anything he has to say. I trust him. I think if trump gets an office, he should be a part of it, which they just did a talk together on x.
Speaker 4:I saw that, what I?
Speaker 1:saw, and they were talking about him becoming a part of it and helping restructuring certain things.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that'd be fucking great.
Speaker 1:That would be yeah, because I didn't know like you need the smartest people, the richest people and the most intelligent people who have right, he's so good intentions for america, you know. So, yeah, I definitely trust the majority of the shit that he says, and not any, yeah, I I mean, come on okay, all right.
Speaker 4:Next, is the development of artificial intelligence dangerous to society?
Speaker 1:that's definitely a duality. I think it could be such a benefit. But have you seen, I feel like to a certain there's so many fucking movies on this where I think there's an underlying fear about it, where people yeah, um, I saw this video of this one artificial intelligence robot that eventually, like they let it outside and we could probably pull up the video. I need that, you need like the fact check thing.
Speaker 4:I need Sophia, pull up the video and then it's like yes, and then it can like go up here, but there's this fucking robot and they let it outside and it instantly just went for water and fucking drowned itself, oh my God.
Speaker 1:So there is a degree of artificial intelligence. That is very frightening, because I think all the movies are pretty accurate, but also from a business and like personal perspective, and I mean the shit that they can do can really advance civilization, but also, at any point in time, if they're like OK, fuck you all.
Speaker 4:Right, just turn on us.
Speaker 1:But I guess to a conspiracy aspect of it. I also think that we're a form of operational intelligence, anyways that's a conversation. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, no, we'll have a conspiracy theory right we should.
Speaker 4:I'll make all like, I'll print out, like, type up like info about them and like, oh my god, we have to do that, okay.
Speaker 1:Next question is cancel culture good for society you know, I will say this first I am thoroughly impressed with the questions yeah, for sure. Thank you, I don't know I was so excited for sure. I think that you really hit it on the money.
Speaker 4:I think, no, I think that, like these are questions that you would like to answer, like I was like what would pat like?
Speaker 1:I would like to answer them, but yeah, like not in but because the cancel culture it makes it very difficult.
Speaker 1:It's so crazy that we live in a time where you can't even speak your mind without getting immense amounts of hate. But then again, I guess if you're putting what you're saying on the internet, then you're also opening yourself up to these things. You know, and I guess that is kind of the same thing as cancel culture If you're a human being and you exist in the world, people are going to say shit that offends you, just like. If you put it like on the internet, some people aren't going to agree what you have to say, do. I think it's a good thing to a degree.
Speaker 1:I think there are certain things that probably shouldn't be said and yeah and that could incite violence and riots and they could lead people into like a fucking clan member who's super racist. Do I think that they should have a platform? Yeah, no, I agree, fuck no you know, but I I do think that there is a degree of everyone should have freedom of speech, of course, but I think if what you're saying is inflicting harm on other people or could incite violence, then that's probably not a good thing right so I think there still has to be parameters.
Speaker 1:I know when elon took over x it was kind of like anything goes. And now I think he's even realizing okay, because like when I was on it like a month ago, it was like fucking stabbings and killing yes, you can find the craziest crazy shit on there. No, it's and I think recently they just implemented something that is kind of peeling back on, yeah, no, no there has to be parameters. It just everything's a shade of gray. It just can't be just so black.
Speaker 4:No actually because cut this, but like when, the when, the anytime you say cut this.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna put it like as a as a fucking preview to the podcast taken down.
Speaker 4:I just wanted to say about the X thing how you can find anything on X. I looked up the Trump shooting thing and there was literally the picture of the kid who was shooting at Trump on top of the roof with his head fucking blown off, and I saw the picture of it. That's fucking crazy that you can find that online. That's what I was looking for.
Speaker 1:They also recorded some shadow figures going to his house like days before.
Speaker 4:Really damn anyways, okay, I like this question. Okay, hold on. I feel like I need to swallow okay, I feel like I've trained way too much really I feel like, I'm like just I don't know all right, how do you feel about biological men participating in women's sports?
Speaker 1:that's a great question you know, I saw something once that were like men are so petty that they can't even let women have their own sports like like when bruce jenner became caitlin jenner and then he won woman of the year. It was like men are so petty that they'll become a woman just to be better.
Speaker 1:Out, just to be better, yeah no, I think it's to be honest. I mean, this is obviously, but again, fuck neutrality. I think it's the most insane thing ever. I think if you, I'm a, I'm a big fan of ufc, huge fan of ufc.
Speaker 1:I think if you're were born a biological male, you should not be fighting women that like yeah like to me that, like you can physically tell that these people, people, I don't know what to say, I apologize, I don't, but um, you, you don't. Even you could clearly tell that there is a disadvantage here.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And if you're a part of that commission and you're a part of that business and you let some, honestly, at that point, innocent woman get beat the fuck up by someone who is a male I mean, it was in the Olympics too, right, I know. And it was like like he was ranked 489 in the men and then he came over to yeah, no I. I think they should have their own separate yeah thing. Yeah, because what?
Speaker 4:what men are just like more like? Aren't men just like stronger than women? Like by like? That's just how it is. I don't I want to be sexist, but I don't want to say no, I'm not being sexy either, but men are just like I was.
Speaker 1:I was being facetious, yeah, I mean, I think that men in general are built for these kind of things, yeah and it's just not. It's not a fair fight. That's a great question thank, thank you. Okay, this is I'm also glad too, that you have input on these things.
Speaker 4:Yeah, no, I know I wanted to answer them too.
Speaker 1:It's like every question you made, you were like you know what? I got some shit to say about this?
Speaker 4:I do Literally every single one, but we are very similar, though We've had conversations like off camera too which has been yeah okay, this question's like not really like the other ones, but whatever, do you think all american or sorry, should all americans have the right to health care? I asked my mom this.
Speaker 1:I told you that I am running my own experiment over here, so, yeah, okay, so do I think that all americans should have the right to health?
Speaker 4:care. You know what you want to say, but you don't want to get canceled.
Speaker 1:No, no, no. My mom was like no, I honestly haven't thought about this.
Speaker 4:My mom was like no so.
Speaker 1:I haven't thought about this because I thought about it. So I saw a study that was like, for every homeless person in the world there is an empty house that we could put them in. Like there are more empty homes than there are homeless people, so technically we could give all of them a home. And then, unbeknownst to me I think I said this on the podcast with uh, with the doc, but I'm going to reiterate it because I think it's such an important point Well, a different iteration of it when I was living in Portland there's so many fucking homeless people there. So so in Portland, if you're homeless, you can pitch a tent on anything that's considered like public. So if a business is public under the highway, so like picture under a highway, just tense, intense, intense, intense of like homeless people. Yeah, and if you gave all these people a house, what percentage of them?
Speaker 4:I'm sorry. She just put the fucking camera on me when I was staring at her. What are you writing? Oh, it's an hour and 30. I'm sorry. Now you're just all fucked up because you don't know what you were saying to you.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, oh, you remember. No, no, I remember, and all these, I just sat all over the desk. I'm so sorry I, the desk will make it, I promise all right, I'm so sorry all these homeless people in portland.
Speaker 1:If you gave them all a house, what percentage of them would actually move into a house? Some people just choose to exist outside of the system. So I guess, to that point of like health care, do I feel like everyone has the right for it? Yes, do I think that the majority of people will even like utilize it?
Speaker 1:right, yeah, no, yeah, I don't know, you know, but I do feel like, like we're all here, we should have access, but do I feel like, if you've made all the decisions to kind of like put yourself outside of the boundaries of it, you know, should there be access? Still, yeah, maybe, yeah, that, no, that's a really good fucking question, honestly. Yeah, no, it's hard to answer.
Speaker 4:I asked my mom and she was like no, and I was like yeah I was like, well, what if somebody's like dying? She's like, okay, yeah, obviously then. But she's like do like me. She was like talking about, or she was like do you think somebody who makes like a lot of money should like have the same as like somebody who does, who doesn't want to go out and like get a job or like do anything? And I was like, okay, like I see her.
Speaker 1:Well but like forms of health care, like maybe, yeah, not to disagree with your mom, but no, well, I, people who have more money have better access to health care? Yeah, like in certain countries, if you have something on your liver, they can take a piece of it and they can. There are so many different forms of chemotherapy. They can try all these different forms of chemo on your cancer to see what actually works. If you're the average person, they're not going to do that no, exactly.
Speaker 4:So I think they definitely have advantages, obviously, but like I do, I agree that you know it's.
Speaker 1:It's a tricky question, I'm just not anything yeah, no, I think everyone has should have access to it, you know.
Speaker 1:But no yeah should someone who put themselves outside of society and said fuck the system, have the same access to it, to what I can afford? I I'm not the one to judge that, you know, but I know that that's not how the system works. Yeah, and these people might be denied those kind of things because it's a business at the end of the day, so, but everyone does have the right to it. I just don't know if it's even accessible to them with yeah our world works yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4:Okay, all right, these are random ones. Sorry, these are random ones.
Speaker 1:This is like the last six and and you're going to save one for Sophia.
Speaker 4:Yeah, the next one, the one after this one's for Sophia. Let's get it. Okay, who would play you in a movie about your life? Jensen Ackles, you think so? No, but he's just hot.
Speaker 1:I fucking love him Not that you are.
Speaker 4:No, that's not what I was saying. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:I am a big fan of Supernatural Sam or Dean. Well, that's like the Stefan or Damon type question too right.
Speaker 4:Sophia's liking this. She loves Vampire Diaries and Supernatural.
Speaker 1:So I think again, when you first start watching Vampire Diaries, you favor Stefan, but then eventually you're like, oh damon, am I correct?
Speaker 4:yeah, damon's so mysterious. All right, I didn't even eventually eventually.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which is so crazy because, like I just realized, is that that happens to women in real, like they start dating a stefan and then eventually they're like a damon fuck, I want a damon yeah, so I think, when you start, watching supernatural. They're like fuck, I want a Damon. Yeah, so I think when you start watching Supernatural you're like oh, sam's a voice of reason, sam's the same as that. But you're like but the show could not exist without Dane in it. So I don't know what the fuck your question was.
Speaker 4:Who would play you in a movie?
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, and you said jensen ackles, which got me off on on a tangent um, I think keanu reeves.
Speaker 4:Actually, I know who that is. He's in the matrix. He's john wick.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, okay, or yeah, yeah, yeah, what I've gotten to like when I was younger um, the guy from twilight, the fuck is his name, the werewolf uh, taylor lautner.
Speaker 4:Yeah, taylor lautner, I've gotten that yeah, I could say the wolf that yeah taylor lautner, come on? Yeah, all right. So if you have questions for you to ask oh, are you gonna hop on? Yeah, let's get it. Am I taking my microphone, my headset off?
Speaker 1:I mean, yeah, she has to put it on. Is it like it feels weird? Yeah, can we do more than one? Okay, no, no, yeah, you're in charge.
Speaker 5:No, I only have to. It doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 1:Give her two. Give her two, I'm just carrying on. How many are left?
Speaker 4:You can do this one and this one, because my mom wrote this one. My mom, my mom. No, I want to ask my mom, yeah, but you can ask two and five and.
Speaker 5:I'll ask four and six. Okay, oh, the mom one too, sorry.
Speaker 4:Yeah, don't ask them all.
Speaker 5:Okay, not mom. Two and five. Okay, because I thought you said four and I was like wait.
Speaker 2:I think I did.
Speaker 1:All right, if you could have dinner with any three people, dead or alive. Who would?
Speaker 5:it be and why Wait? Dead or alive? Yeah, that's a good question.
Speaker 1:That's a great question. Wait, did you make that I?
Speaker 5:did Dead or alive. Yeah, you're hired. I think, I'm going to give you a raise. She is hired.
Speaker 1:I think I'm going to give you a raise. Oh fuck rays. Oh fuck, well, why don't I take it? Even like a step further and do the three alive people and three dead people okay, yeah, so if it was for the people that are alive, let's go with elon musk, donald trump and tate if I sat with those people, I'd want to like, try to like, tweak their brain and and tate. Those are good.
Speaker 5:No, those are good if I sat with those people, I'd want to like try to like tweak their brain and like, yeah, like you want to know what the like they're the most influential people on the planet.
Speaker 1:I also thoroughly enjoy candace owens too. She is um, yeah, she, yeah, she's a fucking firecracker. She, yeah, she, um. But I want to keep it like in the male categories. I don't know why, but yeah, if. If I could have her sit in for like a guest question, I would choose that too.
Speaker 5:So yeah, no, that's pretty good uh, dead people. Fuck, that was fucking super morbid jesus, uh like recently dead, or would you go like 18? Oh?
Speaker 1:yeah, no, that's it. Yeah, that's, that's a good question. Um, I think are you guys religious uh, yeah christian catholic, catholic. Okay, so I was born catholic. So I think I was born catholic. What the fuck am I saying? I was raised Catholic.
Speaker 5:Are you not Catholic anymore?
Speaker 1:I think I'm more like Christian now.
Speaker 5:There's like a line yeah, you know.
Speaker 1:I could tell a story of my transition to being like okay, this, I don't know if Catholic is for me, you know what? Yeah, yeah, I'm going gonna tell it. So when I was growing up, my dad was a computer technician for brown university and he would do computer jobs for a bunch of people in like the area we were a part of a church in warwick, rhode island I'm not gonna say the church, but my dad did a computer job for one of the priests because he had a virus on his, on his computer oh no and my dad would teach me how to.
Speaker 1:What we saw on that computer drive, compared to what I heard about the catholic church down the road, was kind of like I, I believe in a lot of this shit, but what goes again, who the fuck knows? Right, but what I saw from my own experience, compared to what's said in in the media, I was like, okay, you know what I? I still believe in a majority of this, but I need to kind of make a switch about it. So, um, yeah, back to my original point. If being born catholic, right born, I would say jesus, that'd be an amazing conversation, right it would.
Speaker 5:I could talk about that all day right, like I, I will. Let's have a conversation with him um buddha yep, I don't know too much about that, but my mom does right and then um what actually is that like?
Speaker 1:a no no, no, um, that's been. It's been proven that it's not true. He was actually very fit. He's portrayed as fat in modern, like marketing, to make him seem happy. So make him seem because he's like he's bad, he's good yeah, so I, I don't even so, um, and then I don't know, gandhi seemed interesting too yeah, gandhi gandhi.
Speaker 1:Oh, he said god, you're like no, jesus is kind of like the overlap there, but also there are are like nikola tesla there. Yeah, there are a lot of people that I love to have a conversation with, but yeah, yeah definitely like 1800s.
Speaker 5:I feel like I'd be like how is it? Like you know, like, like from a real world you want to go back and kind of see like. How was it really like and like or a therapist in the 1800s and see how like people's minds worked back then did.
Speaker 1:Did they have therapists? Then probably not, actually no, but if they did, imagine a like a therapy session. They're like oh my, like my fucking horse wouldn't ride me today. Like my horse wouldn't take me on a ride today. It's like my car wouldn't start. So like, imagine, like what the fuck would you complain about it?
Speaker 5:right. What is it that tiktok show where it's like what? What can you say to a victorian hello? Burn a coma fucking hell and it's like I would say like we have all this, and you'd be like what do you mean? Like yeah they're gonna be like. I whittled my what is it I? Whittled my shoes today made them that's yeah, that's fucking wild that's a great question, man, very good question, okay, would you rather have more time or more money?
Speaker 2:Wow.
Speaker 5:I feel like this question.
Speaker 1:I feel like my mind goes to one of them first, but really it goes to the other one. Fuck. So recently I've experienced more money and the feeling to be able to take care of everyone around you is such an enticing feeling and I feel like, as a man, that is our duty to be able to do that. But then when you go inside and you're like, well, care about myself too, then you want more time. So it's fuck, that's a, that's a tough question what's like?
Speaker 5:what's money without time?
Speaker 1:you know that sounds stupid, but like I could take care of all the people that are around me, but I know for a fact that they would want me here more. But the sad part is that I don't know if my present being is worth more than what I'm leaving to people Like I'm leaving my son and my daughter a fucking empire, you know. So it's like.
Speaker 5:In a way.
Speaker 1:Or time could also mean like their time with you, or or like them doing it with me too, right? So fuck, if I had to choose, go into my head probably.
Speaker 5:I mean, imagine you chose money. You're dead on the spot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we'll choose more time.
Speaker 5:Yeah, Well, because, too, like say, it's like your grandmother or grandfather and it's like, would you rather want to send them to florida or do you want like to have a couple more moments with them?
Speaker 1:you know, like I feel like that's where like time would matter more, you know that's spot on, because I'm actually taking care of my grandmother right now and and it's like I want to as tough as she could be, I do want to milk every moment that I I can.
Speaker 5:So yeah, because I saw this other podcast and he was talking about his grandmother and he was like what I would like. He had um cancer and he was like we didn't know like he was gonna like be able to like live this long and so, like every time I did see him I would say goodbye to him as if it was the last time and he was. But he was like, but in reality, like it really is like the last time, like they could die tomorrow. I could die tomorrow even though, like you know, like.
Speaker 5:I feel like people take time for granted a lot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we'll choose time. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, after that we'll choose time. You have me reflecting. Yeah, yeah, that's good, I like that.
Speaker 5:Well, that's all I have for you today, oh damn. Okay.
Speaker 1:That went by quick.
Speaker 5:It's cool with the headset on, though I sound like Me and Kenzie always say we need to start a podcast.
Speaker 1:We're very funny. We'll start a fucking three-way. Who gives a shit? I have four.
Speaker 5:My Musketeers?
Speaker 1:no, no what is it called? My cubs? My cubs fucking marketing one-on-one right there, my cubs, me and my go I. I like that. That's great. And even if and like it doesn't not that this will ever happen, but like, even if it gets like one view, it's still fun and productive it's so fun you know, it's like it's so fun.
Speaker 4:I could do this for hours. I can. It's like 9 20.
Speaker 2:That's crazy is it really?
Speaker 4:yeah, because I looked at the time on the ipad I was like no, this is wrong. And then I looked at sofia's phone. I was like I have two more questions, it's fine, okay. Um, this is the one that my mom wrote down. And I was like mom, I don't know if that's a good question. She was like no, ask it, ask it. Would you rather have your mind or your body?
Speaker 1:well fuck heidi I know she's.
Speaker 4:That's such a good question.
Speaker 1:Damn. I also do think one day they'll be able to upload our consciousness into you. Know. So I I think I'd rather have my mind, yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, no, I definitely'd rather have my mind, yeah, yeah, no, I definitely would rather have my mind, yeah, okay, last question. I like this one, it's like a good closer.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 4:What do you want to be remembered for?
Speaker 1:Fuck, okay, fuck, um, I'm gonna get deep. So I've struggled with anxiety my entire life and anyone that has anxiety will understand that when it's happening, you don't really see there being a tomorrow. You think that that moment is your. It probably like your last one, because you had a chest pain and that's it. Or you felt a sharp pain in your head and okay, well, I'm done for, and okay, well, I'm done for. The last time I experienced this, I remember texting someone who was very important to me and I said just make sure that my kids know me as a good man and that's all I want to be Like. It doesn't matter, like all these, like all these like accolades, like in the business, like I just like when I pass away.
Speaker 1:I want the people that were a part of my companies and in my family to be like to know I was a good man and that's yeah, no, that's yeah, that's it exactly like I I want to leave things behind, but I don't want, like my kids, to be like okay, he left me millions, but he was a piece of shit yeah so I just want to be. I just want to be a good man I love that, that's good and I'm gonna make mistakes along the way, obviously and um, I'm not perfect, but I did the best I could while I was here and uh, yeah, it's perfect.
Speaker 4:That's it. That's all I have that was great that was great. That was a long video.
Speaker 1:Yeah, thank you, sophia yeah, thank you so much for for coming to be put on like another microphone. Just keep going literally that was great thank.
Speaker 4:Honestly, I was like at my computer for hours Like what the fuck am I going to ask? I was asking my brother is this a good question? Get the fuck out of my room, okay.
Speaker 1:This was great.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I had fun.
Speaker 1:It was fun, did you have fun? Yeah. Good.
Speaker 4:Well, the verdict is which one's the best the gold's better the gold no, he said that was the worst one black was ass well yeah, that's how I is it cold no, yeah, I just.
Speaker 1:I prefer it neat because then I get all the Flavor profile. Oh, it's rustic tasting. I mean, blue is the most expensive and I don't know, the gold is just. I'm not Outro Music.
