John Boziak, Miami's notorious credit card scammer, details his transformation from a 2009 fraudster sentenced to 24 months into a $5,000-per-consultation content creator with over 1,000 YouTube subscribers. He recounts fleeing probation in Nebraska, his failed Bitcoin investments, and his skepticism of crypto versus tangible assets like gold. Boziak critiques YouTube's monopoly, defends conservative figures like Candace Owens against algorithmic suppression, and speculates on AI-driven technocracies or extraterrestrial intervention. Ultimately, he argues that societal fragility and platform elitism threaten free speech, while his new ventures in art and merchandise signal a shift from crime to digital influence.

We started and then opened up a dialogue and we just got to know each other.

I had 200 followers on fucking Instagram.
I didn't have a YouTube channel.
I was, you know what I mean?
I was just tattooing.
You know, like I wasn't really doing shit.
Like I wasn't promoting myself.
I wasn't promoting the book really.
The book was just kind of doing its thing.
And I did this podcast and it was like overnight, overnight craziness.
You know what I mean?
Like I've done probably 15 or 20 podcasts since this one because people see the numbers that this one does and they want me to come on theirs because they think it's going to, you know what I mean?
So they all want to ride that wave.
Um, you know, so I, you know I did this and then i've done like everybody's people are flying me out to Dallas, you know what I mean.
I'm doing mscs and up and no down in West Palm Beach.
I do that like once a month now.
Um, I launched my own youtube channel.
I've got about 50 or so uh videos already up uh, on my youtube channel.
I went and got a.
I went and built a you a studio in downtown Phoenix, like.
I went and rented like a legitimate office and I got the professional lighting, the mics, the you know what I mean the good cameras.
I'm running a uh, Sony Alpha 6400s.
I got, you know, a couple of those.
And yeah, so I'm rocking and rolling, man.
You know, like this whole thing is just absolutely fire.
It's insane, dude.
Now I'm addicted.
You know what I mean?
I'm addicted.
It's amazing what it's done for Matt Cox, too.
He really took that opportunity and ran with it.
Ran with it.
Every time I talk to Matt Cox on the phone, he's traveling to some different state, some different country.
He just did a commercial for some fucking home security company.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's crushing.
He's everywhere.
Yeah.
Matt Cox is doing a big deal.
What did you guys do?
I'm trying to do what he's doing.
And I'm kind of, I mean, he got the big ones.
He got like the Vlad and he got fucking Valutainment.
You know what I mean?
He was on like the real big ones.
Yeah.
You know, now I'm knocking out all the little guys before I can get up to the big guys.

He's a musician and he does a podcast You know, I did just recently did that I just recently did back lovers podcast I did tap in I flew out to Dallas and did tap in I did What did I do?
I so many like I get and then like all the opportunities now that are coming up like I do I wake up to a hundred DMs on fucking Instagram every single day every day.
It's just insane You know, and then you got all the idiots that, you know, because they've seen the podcast, they go, teach me how to do the fucking, you know what I mean?
Teach me how to, you know, I made a whole video on that.
That's just fucking absolutely bananas.
Have you taught anybody how to do credit card?
No, well, listen, I'm charging, I was charging $1,000 a consultation.
You know what I mean?
Like, you want to talk to me, you want access to me.
Yeah.
If you feel like I have some information that's going to make you millions of dollars, then you're going to pay for it.
So I was charging $1,000 a consultation.
Now I'm charging $5,000.
Hell yeah.
$5,000?
$5,000.
If you want to talk to me, if you want my time, now my time, it went up because now, honestly, I barely get any sleep, dude.
I'm still tattooing at the shop eight, 10 hours a day.
And then I go straight from the shop to the studio and I record YouTube till one or two o'clock in the morning.
You know what I mean?
And I do that every day.
And then I fly and then I'm flying.
I'm doing podcasts in different cities.
And then, you know, I got all these other shit I'm working on.
You know, I got the bigger projects.
And it's like, I barely even sleep.
So now my time is valuable.
Hell yeah.
Maybe before I had time to blow.
I had time to burn.
You know what I mean?
Now I'm fucking, you got to fucking pay me my money.
How many $1,000 consultations have you done?
Quite a few.
Really?
Yeah.
Quite a few.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's fucking insane.
Yeah.
Quite a few.
Listen, I got guys flying out to fly out to.
How do they get a hold of you?
I got guys wanting to fly out from other cities to come sit down and have lunch with me.
How do these people get a hold of you if they want to get a conversation?
They all DM me on Instagram, you know, and then we just go from there.
Wow.
What a fucking business.
Yeah, it's pretty wild.
That's pretty amazing.
So you're still tattooing?
I am, yeah.
You know, I love doing it, and I make really good money doing it, so.
Why stop?
Are you going to stay living in Arizona?
You like it there?
I think eventually I'm going to make my way back to Florida.
So, yeah, but no, I like Arizona.
It's nice.
And, you know, the cost of living is low, but, dude, those summers are fucking brutal.
We're talking 120 degrees, 125 degrees, you know, for four or five months out of the year.
You know, so, yeah, you know, it's just brutal, man.
It's brutal.
So, I don't know if I'm going to stay there.
And then, you know, I got other things going on, you know, business opportunities, and I'm looking at a lot of things, you know, taxes and.
So I don't know.
And I'm from here.
This is my home, and I'm comfortable here.
Yeah.
You know, so I'm thinking about coming back.
Are you going to go, if you come back, are you going to go back to the East Coast or are you going to come to this coast?
I like Tampa.
South Florida is where I grew up, and that's where I got into shit at.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
So I'm kind of, I might kind of just try and avoid it if I can a little bit.
I don't want to go too close.
Yeah, keep it somewhere up here, maybe Orlando, Tampa, St. Pete, Brandon.
You know what I mean?
Clearwater.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Orlando's a great spot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was like going to ask you.
What were you guys doing in Daytona?
Weren't you guys filming some sort of like crazy?
I was in Jacksonville.
Jacksonville.
I was in Jacksonville working on a bigger project that I can't really talk about.
Tell us about it.
I can't tell you about it.
That's the thing.
What can you say?
What can you give me on it?
I may or may not have filmed a part of something that may become a documentary later down the road.
And that's really all I can say.
So they filmed something that is being pitched to big networks?
Major networks, yeah.
Oh, cool.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's pretty exciting.
All I know is I saw that picture from Matt Cox of you wearing a robe, like smoking a cigar.
It was ridiculous.
They had me in a mansion, uh, and you know, it's just a giant, fucking, gaudy mansion.
And they rented out, it was an Airbnb, yeah.
They rented out, it was like, fucking, it was expensive.
Um, yeah, you know, they had me in a cigar and a robe coming downstairs, and you know, all kinds of different scenes.
They listen, I've seen some of the stuff they cut, they made me look way cooler than I am, you know what I mean?
They made me look like Pablo Escobar or somebody like that, you know.
I just it.
Just the cinematography and like the way they capture the light and this, the music and the way they're doing everything, it's going to be fucking cool and it's going to sell.
How many days were you there filming?
Five days.
Five days.
Yeah.
I filmed every day.
And how much can they possibly film in five days?
I'm sure like many days of it was just B roll and like cinematic, like looks type stuff.
Well, we would basically, we would film during the day.
We would just film like, you know, interview shit during the day or, you know, other things that we were doing like for the story.
And then like at night, when we would wrap up the day shooting, we'd film like B roll shit, you know, like cinematic out in the public or whatever.
Yeah.
It was cool.
It was really cool.
Yeah.
It's a weird thing how, like, now big TV networks and production companies that sell shit to TV networks, all they're doing is just scouring the internet for, like, popular podcasts to try to find content.
Yeah.
Listen, I got approached by two different people from Vice TV trying to fucking do something with me.
They had some kind of series that they were doing with people who did major crimes when they were younger and then turned their life around or some shit.
You probably maybe have seen a couple episodes.
I think they had one with a dude who was, like,.
I apparently sold millions of dollars worth of cocaine or something like that in New York when he was a kid, and they had some other dude on there.
I don't remember his story, but I think that's the series that they wanted me for, and it's like I can't even do anything with anybody else.
Oh, because that company that you shot the pilot with, they got you under some sort of exclusivity agreement?
It just wouldn't be right at the end of the day.
It wouldn't be right because I think it would hurt me more than it would help.
How long did they have you locked up in that agreement for?
I think six months.
Six months, that's not bad.
Yeah, yeah.
Over a year would not be good.
No.
Because they can't sell it in six months.
If they can sell it in six months, that's great.
But if it goes longer than that, it's going to sell.
It's going to sell right away.
It's not even going to take six months.
Have they even started pitching it yet?
I'm not sure where they're at in the process.
You know what?
I'm hands off on this thing.
Like, I don't call them and, like, what's going on?
What are you guys doing?
You know what I mean?
Like, I'm just like, dude, you guys do your thing.
You know what I mean?
Like, I'm just going to sit back and call me when it's time to collect a check.
Hit me up when you're ready.
You know what I mean?
When it's time for me to fucking make a deposit into my Chase account, then give me a call.
Yeah.
Yeah, other, I mean, because I can't control anything.
I have no creative say so and anything like that.
And it's just like, dude, I got so much other shit going on in my life that I just, I just leave it alone, dude.
I let them people just do their fucking thing.
And I think they kind of like that anyway, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a weird thing.
What did you think about the whole process of like those guys, like bringing in all those cameras, setting up all that stuff, like orchestrating everything to make it look like something?
Yeah.
It's a lot of fucking work, right?
I got to peek behind the curtain, man, you know, and I got to kind of see how the whole machine works, you know, and that's cool.
I mean, because you watch the behind-the-scenes shit sometimes, you know what I mean, when you do, you know, like HBO behind the scenes and all that shit.
But it doesn't do any justice when you're there, you know what I mean?
You got guys running cables and changing lights around and, you know, putting up light boxes and, you know, like fucking chatting.
It's just the whole thing.
And then you got the sound guys with the.
Yeah, it's cool, man.
It's cool.
I can get used to that, man.
I'm the talent.
Yeah, right.
So I don't have to do no work.
Yeah, you're good.
You know what I mean?
You want a soda?
You fucking, you hungry?
You know what I mean?
I'm just laying back, fucking, in between scenes, fucking, just, you know, taking a nap or whatever, fucking, you know.
And then when they say, fucking, roll camera, I'm.
Then I got to jump to it.
You know what I mean?
And that's my part.
I play in it.
You know what I mean?
So.
So how many times.
Vice actually emailed you and tried to get you to do something with it.
I had two different.
I had one lady reached out who said she was with Vice, but really, she was with an independent production company that I think.
works for Vice.
Vice contracted him, yeah.
And then actual Vice TV actually, because I ignored her and I just didn't respond to her, actual Vice TV reached out after that and contacted me.
And, you know, I told him, I was like, listen, as of right now, I can't do anything.
I can't do any movies or TV.
Podcasts are fine as long as I, you know, don't open the can of worms and, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah, I can't do any TV or movies or anything for right now.
But I was like, in the future, it doesn't mean I can't in the future.
I'm just, I'm like, I'm contractually obligated right now.
As of right now, I can't.
Yeah, I can't do anything like vice I'm sure it'll pay me a couple grand to go wherever and shoot But it's just like that's peanuts compared to what I got coming So I don't want to fuck this up with you know what I mean Yeah, I know they did something with Matt Cox, but I don't know if I ever saw I don't know if it ever came out They did yeah, I think they did Matt did something with them.
I don't know what it was.
He said they flew him out and paid him like fucking Well, I think they shot it like in Tampa, right?
I thought he said Miami.
Was it Miami?
Yeah, they flew him down to Miami.
Yeah, some mansion and shit.
Probation Violations and Halfway House Struggles00:15:22
Yeah, and they just interviewed him They just sat him on a stool and fucking interviewed him and that was it So if you did some sort of, if somebody, let's just say some big company, some big network bought this project that you guys shot, what would it be like?
Would it be like a serialized documentary?
Would it be just a one-shot, like two-hour film?
And see, that's the thing that right now we just don't know.
You don't know what the format will be.
Yeah, because it's like, say they take it to FX.
FX might want to make it into a series.
You know what I'm saying?
Or say they take it to Hulu and Hulu just wants to shoot it as a doc.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Which it's cool because that doc could lead to a series or could lead to a feature-length film.
You know what I mean?
Or they could take it to, like, you know, try to attach like a big name to it and take it to like a big production company and they can be like, fucking, let's just run with this thing and make it a feature film.
Right.
You know, so all that shit's up in the air right now, which is fucking exciting that all this is even an option for me.
You know what I mean?
I think even a more interesting spinoff would just be you selling $1,000 consultations on Instagram.
Yeah.
That's a documentary.
I would love to hear one of those phone calls.
Yeah, listen, I got to get my money, man.
If we did this live, we'd get people to call in live.
That would have been amazing.
I got to get my money.
You know what I mean?
At the end of the day.
Don't you worry, though, about if somebody did do some crazy shit and you taught them how to do it, that you could get in trouble?
Are you still on probation?
No.
Oh, you're off.
I'm nothing.
Oh, so you're not locked down like Matt?
Nope.
They killed my paper, man.
Yeah, when I went back on violation, they gave me nine months and then they just cut me loose and was like, dude, you're not supervisable, apparently.
That's what the judge told me.
You're not supervisable.
But I'm not a way or a bad way.
So how did you get so so for people that haven't watched the first people that haven't watched the first podcast.
Yeah Give me like a brief synopsis of of your whole case and then like the end of it like what happened at the end to where you got to where you are now sure so 2009 I walked into a UPS store and there were two Secret Service agents waiting on me The The elderly gentleman who ran the UPS store took it upon himself to open one of my packages and find what I was sending out Which he wasn't supposed to do.
He was supposed to contact the postmaster general.
The postmaster general has the authority to come and open my mail once it's been sealed.
So that right there got 12 years knocked off my sentence.
12 or 13 years knocked off my sentence.
They had to get rid of basically everything.
Any of the evidence that they got, because that's how they, you know what I mean?
Because they got it from a fraudulent way, basically.
You got to throw all of that out, right?
Yeah.
Whatever was found from that process.
Gone.
So all the credit cards gone, all the equipment gone, all the mail fraud.
The only thing they could.
Actually, stick on me was the aggravated identity theft because I did have somebody else's driver's license with my picture on it.
So I got the aggravated identity theft, which carries a mandatory 24 months.
And that's what I eventually ended up getting charged with and sentenced.
And it took them three years to indict me.
So this happened in 2009.
I didn't even get picked up until 2012.
Right.
And they indicted you.
Where were you?
You were somewhere in the Northeast, right?
I was in Tampa.
I was here in Tampa when I got picked up.
I got fucking with the Hillsborough County Jail and then they shipped me out to St. Pete.
And I sat in St. Pete until they could extradite me all the way down to South Carolina to where I could see a judge.
Oh, my God.
And then you went from South Carolina back to Miami, right?
Because I live here, they wanted to send me to prison in my home state.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
That's why I ended up doing all my time in Ocala up in Coleman, where I subsequently met Matt and wrote the book and everything.
But yeah.
Yeah.
So then I served my time.
I did my 24 months.
I get out.
And I'm in halfway house in Miami.
And then I did my halfway house, did my six months halfway house.
But it's like.
When I got out of prison, I didn't have anything.
Like, all of my shit had somehow magically fucking just vanished and disappeared.
I had no clothes, no shoes.
All my jewelry was gone.
Everything was fucking gone.
You know, my wife, you know, I don't know.
She fucking, you know, barely speaks English.
It's just like, it's fucking, it's just ridiculous.
So I'm coming home to shit.
I'm getting into a halfway house with shit.
I was wearing prison sweatpants, prison fucking Nikes, and that's all I had.
I didn't have anything else.
Yeah.
And so I had to get a job.
I had to work for six months for $9 an hour, and somehow they were taking like, 30% of my net income before taxes, the halfway house was, which I'm like, you know, that's kind of a bummer, but it's, you know, it's better than sitting in prison.
So, you know, and I get to actually go out into the world and fucking, you know what I'm saying?
Like work.
So that was cool.
And I worked for like six months at the halfway house and I saved a little bit of money.
And then I got a, like a, like a fucking one bedroom.
It wasn't even a one bedroom.
It was a studio apartment in Little Havana.
It was on like 20th and Flagler.
Right by Miami High School.
Right in the neighborhood I fucking grew up in, pretty much.
And, you know, it was like $8.50 a month, which was like, you know, whatever.
But it was like, dude, I didn't have a car.
I didn't have no money.
I'm working at a warehouse for like $11 an hour.
And I had to wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning.
I had to walk from 20th and Flagler all the way downtown Miami.
I had to catch the very first train that leaves the station in Miami an hour north to Hialeah to catch the very first bus leaving the bus station to go another hour.
To my warehouse job and then at the end of the day I had to do all of that all the way back over again to get home.
So I wasn't.
I was living at four in the morning and I wasn't getting home till 10 o'clock at night.
I couldn't do it like I just I did it, for like I got out of halfway house in february and then by june or july I was over it.
I was over it.
I couldn't do it anymore.
You know what I mean.
So it's just like, and I, I was hanging out with some people that kind of knew what I, all the money i'd made and what I had done, and they had some money that they were willing to invest, and I was like, let's do it.
You know what I mean.
Let's fucking gas up for another run.
I was like, dude, I just got out of prison for this shit.
I was just like, I'm going to kill myself.
I'm going to fucking do it.
The landlord's going to come in and they're going to find me stinking and fucking swinging from the fucking ceiling in this shithole apartment.
And that's going to be my life.
And I'm just like, no.
So if I have to go back, if I have to risk going back to prison to get myself out of the situation, then that's just what I'm going to do.
And I don't give a fuck.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
That was my mindset.
Shit went south almost immediately.
You know, some shit got sent to my house that wasn't supposed to get sent to my house.
And then, you know, the fucking Miami financial crimes fucking unit was at my apartment asking me a bunch of questions.
You know, shit went fucking south.
And I ended up going back on the run, you know, absconding from on probation and going back on the run.
I took off out to Nebraska because my wife disappeared and she calls me from Nebraska and she's got my son.
She wanted me to come out there and help her with my son.
And I'm like, well, fuck, I'm on the run right now.
She didn't know I was on the run.
Like, fuck, all this shit just went down.
I'm like, fuck it.
I'll go hide out in the cornfields because there isn't shit in Nebraska but corn and cattle.
You know what I mean?
That's it.
There's nothing out there.
Now, this is the perfect fucking place for me to go out there and lay low and kind of, you know, just figure things out.
So I go out to Nebraska and that just turned into a fucking absolute shit show.
You know, my wife was fucking, you know, she was on drugs and the whole fucking thing was just fucking bad.
It was all bad.
So somehow the cops ended up coming to my house because I offered some shit that had nothing, absolutely nothing to do with me.
Like somebody broke into somebody's trailer and for some reason they put me in it.
You know what I mean?
Like they said I had something to do with it.
And like I had nothing to do with any.
It's just fucking bad luck.
So the cops come to my house wanting to ask me questions.
And of course they're going to run me.
You know what I mean?
They're going to run me when they get there, and I had a warrant, so they fucking, I went.
So I had to go back in front of the judge.
You know what I mean?
So I, and then I'd get extradited all the way back out to fucking South Carolina from Nebraska, which took another three and a half months.
You know what I mean?
Going on Conair and then, you know, Oklahoma holding facility and fucking, you know, back in Atlanta.
We're in holding facilities across the country for three months.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No commissary because you're in the shoe because you're only going to be there for a week or two or three before they fucking ship you back out again.
So you don't get commissary.
You know what I mean?
They barely fucking feed you, you know, so it was.
It was bad, man.
So, yeah, I get back in front of the judge, and she gave me, by the time I got in front of the fucking judge, I had already done almost nine months.
It took me damn near fucking, God, was it really that long?
I think it was like six months or something it took me to get back in front of the judge.
Because for whatever reason, it was my luck.
I got picked up right before Thanksgiving in November.
And that's the worst time to get shipped around the country is between the holidays because, dude, they're not shipping anybody.
So you might sit somewhere for a month or two before the next fucking bus rolls out to stick you on a plane.
To ship you out to Oklahoma you know what I mean before you get designated and all that.
So I finally get back in front of the judge and she says um this, I I think i'm getting out at this point.
I'm like okay, I just did six months on my violation.
You know what I mean.
Like my violation.
In the federal system there's different tiers of violations, you know what I mean.
So my my, my violation was a, was it like?
It was like a one and it only carried like a six month guideline for the violation.
I just did six months.
So in my mind, i'm going in front of the judge.
I'm like okay, she's going to give me six months on on violation.
She's going to kick by, you know, You know, wave her finger at me and kick me, because that's all she can do.
This bitch gave me another 30 days to think about it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Another 30 days.
Your release date is 30 days from now.
Wow.
To sit and think about what you've done, you bad boy.
You know what I mean?
Fucking bitch.
But then, but this was the golden lining in all of it.
She told me, she's like, listen, we've had to extradite you from two different states multiple times.
She's like, you've absconded on your, on your, you absconded off.
From your pretrial release before you were even sentenced, you absconded on your federal probation, which you only have three years of.
You're not supervisable, but you're not a danger to the public either.
You know what I mean?
Because I don't have any violence in my history.
I'm not a raper or a fucking stabber or nothing like that.
You know what I mean?
So it's just like I'm not going to hurt anybody.
So I really wasn't a risk.
So apparently, this is my takeaway from it.
She told me I'm not supervisable, but I'm not a threat to the community either.
So, 30 more days, and we're going to go ahead and just kill your paper.
And they fucking kicked me out the door with no probation or no fucking nothing, dude.
Just a free man.
I was like, woohoo.
You know what I mean?
Dude, I was like, fuck yeah.
So, it was kind of good that I violated my probation and went back and did the six months.
Because, or else I would have been on fucking paper for three more years.
How many more people have you heard of that's happened to?
Nobody.
Nobody, really.
Nobody.
I've never heard that happening to fucking anybody.
No.
I know.
Because there's tons of people that are locked up for nonviolent shit, selling.
Little bits of weed here and there, whatever, whatever it might be.
Yeah.
Stupid drug charges.
Yeah.
I fucking, you know, she was a, she was a cunt, but I guess she was being nice.
And I, maybe I just thought, you know, in my brain, I'm like this bitch, but dude, she was just like, yeah, I mean, you know, it's costing the, it's costing the United, it's costing the government too much money.
Yeah.
To keep having to come and get you and fucking, you know what I mean?
Because they got to, every time they come and get me, they have to employ the U.S. Marshals.
They can't just send the local sheriff to come find me.
It's the U.S. Marshals.
So they come in tactical gear and the whole fucking nine.
You know what I mean?
It's a lot of money spent on it.
It's a lot of money, yeah.
So I'm just costing too much fucking money.
You're too expensive.
Do 30 and get the fuck out of here.
That's it, man.
30 more days, you're done.
You know, because I mean, listen, I had no criminal record essentially before.
I mean, I had a very eventful youth.
Don't get me wrong.
I was in, you know, youth homes and boys' homes, but all that shit sealed.
So as an adult, you know, I had a few minor run ins, you know, maybe some shoplifting in my early 20s or something like that I got picked up for, but nothing, you know.
So I had no criminal record.
Like, I wasn't.
Yeah, nothing violent.
Yeah, that's my assessment of it.
Yeah.
Yeah, you got lucky, man.
Very lucky.
What do you think?
I mean, the process of getting out of prison and going into the halfway house, then being on probation, then them taking a percentage of your money, and they don't make it easy to bounce back.
They make it almost impossible.
I mean, I don't know.
They don't make it easy for you, man.
They don't make it easy for you.
And if you are, that's why a lot of guys go back, man, because a lot of guys, they get out and they're just not mentally able to deal with.
Getting a job, and you know what I mean.
Like they just well, not only, or they just don't even want to.
They just like they just want to go back to selling drugs or being fucking scumbags or whatever.
You know what I mean.
Like they don't really honestly, I don't feel like they give you the tools necessary to be successful For people that genuinely don't have anything or anybody and are coming home to nothing, like no safety net, though I feel like those people that are like in the higher category risk, I think that everybody should be assessed.
They should do some kind of like post release assessment on you You know what I mean and there should be some kind of.
There should be programs set up in place for the people that are going to be in the higher risk Category when they're getting released, people who don't have like a home to go to or don't have any family, there should be programs in place for those people, but there just isn't.
You know what I mean?
They're just like, good luck.
Not only that, don't violate your fucking parole, you're going back to prison.
Pretty much that's it, right?
But not only that, but the people, how educated and how savvy are the people that are running the prisons and running the programs that are already in place?
Like your probation officer, how much of a fuck does your probation officer really give?
Uh, no, mine was cool with me, like I didn't even, right?
He was cool, but or she was cool or whatever, but but how much.
How much do they actually care?
Right?
Are they doing this because that's what they want to do?
Or are they doing this because.
Sure, there's a few of them that are.
I mean, a lot.
I think there's a few bleeding hearts that are really in it to try and help people.
But then I think, man, you know, a lot of people just get into it because they, I don't know why they would, I don't know who, what kind of person chooses to be a fucking probation officer?
Or a prison guard.
Or a prison guard.
Like, it takes a certain kind of individual to go into that field.
And usually it's not the type of individual that you really want to deal with on a daily basis.
I mean, most of the time, those people are just a fucking nightmare to deal with.
They're just complete sticklers for the rules.
They don't give a fuck.
Here's the line.
If you step on either side of it, you're going back to prison.
There's no give or take.
You know what I mean?
And you know, after 20 years of dealing with fucking scumbags coming out of prison.
Right, you probably get worn out.
You get worn down to it.
You probably don't have a sympathy anymore.
You become desensitized.
Yeah.
And I think that's the problem with the whole criminal justice system.
Everybody's just desensitized.
And giving people decades in prison isn't a big deal.
You know, it's super random, but I just heard that who was the guy that was the CEO of Enron?
Who went to prison and he just got out in 2018 and now he's already like trying to raise money for some new thing.
Well, dig this, man.
The Wolf of Wall Street, Jordan Belfort.
Yeah.
That motherfucker's over in Australia with a giant fucking company and he's in their political system.
Is he really?
Scammers, Enron CEOs, and Fraud Absurdity00:07:37
Swear to God, man.
He lives in Australia?
He lives in Australia.
He owns a fucking company over there and he's involved in their politics.
I bullshit you not.
Wow.
That fucking, that blew me straight out of the fucking water, dude.
I'm like, are you fucking, this fucking piece of shit is over there in their political system?
Whoa, easy.
What if he wants to do it on his podcast?
You can call him a piece of shit.
Yeah, you know what, dude?
My bad, but.
What if he wants to fly you to Australia?
Yeah, I don't know, man.
I just kind of fucking blew me away.
I mean, he's probably a nice guy, don't get me wrong.
I watched the movie and it didn't really seem like he was that nice of a guy.
Well, no, he fucked a lot of people over him, but they let him go to Australia and he could clearly operate by a different set of rules over there, right?
Yeah, yeah.
That's bonkers.
Bonkers.
Yeah, I don't know.
You'd think like people that did those kind of crimes, those, I mean, His crime is arguably a hundred times worse than Matt Cox's crimes.
Mine and Matt Cox's crime put together.
Right.
Yeah, he was cleaning people out and laughing about it.
So, I mean, you know.
Fuck.
It's insane.
Yeah, yeah.
Way she goes.
Way she goes.
That's the fucking way she goes.
That's the way she goes.
What is that from?
Trailer Park Boys.
Trailer Park Boys.
You watch Trailer Park Boys?
Fuck yeah, man.
Every fucking episode, every season, every movie, everything they put out, I'm on it, man.
I've been trying to tell Danny forever he's never watched one episode.
I was just trying to tell her about it earlier, wasn't I?
The Trailer Park Boys.
I was like, you've never seen the Trailer Park?
I did some quote from the Trailer Park Boys.
Yeah.
And she's like, no.
That's what a nice fucking kitty right there.
That's all I know.
Oh, Bubbles?
Oh, man.
What a classic.
So what are you going to do for the rest of the time you're down here?
Are you going to go see Matt?
Yeah, I'm going to hang out with Matt and do some painting.
He's going to give me some tips on the finer points of canvas painting.
And I'm actually going to start doing canvas paintings on my own and then selling them.
Well, trying to hawk them to my subscribers.
Hell yeah.
Which, honestly, I put out a video even like like, I was like suggesting that I was going to start doing this, and people were already like, Yeah, I'll fucking buy them.
I'm like, All right, they're just going to eat it all up.
Let's fucking do it.
And it is, you know what I mean?
It's fucking you got to start making merch shirts and shit.
I'm already on it, man.
I've already got like I sat down.
I'm a graphic designer, so I did I did like 15 or 20 designs already, and I'm going to try and fucking pick like the two or three best of those and get everything printed up.
Yeah, I'm gonna do a whole merch.
I'm doing everything, man.
I'm like, I've only been on my YouTube channel for three months, dude.
I'm almost a thousand subscribers.
That's amazing, man.
It's growing fast, man.
It's growing fast.
What kind of stuff do you talk about on your videos?
You know, just life shit, man.
You know, like whatever I'm going through, or like maybe I'll just be thinking about something that day and I'll just sit down in front of the camera and I'll go on like a 35 minute rant.
You know what I mean?
Like, and people love it, dude.
I'm getting views.
I'm getting, you know what I mean?
I saw one video you did.
I watched it.
I think it was earlier today that you started out the video and you said, what the fuck did you say?
You were really angry, though.
I think I'm going to rough.
Oh, no.
Was I like, I don't fucking owe anything.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
I don't owe anybody anything.
What was that video all about?
Pay me my fucking money.
No, some little fucking punk on fucking Instagram hitting me up and demanding that I fucking tell him how to do fraud and all this other fucking crazy shit.
Demanding.
I was like, no, listen.
I was like, listen, dude, I just don't have the time.
I was like, listen, he didn't want to pay me what I was asking for.
You know what I mean?
I was like, listen, dude, I just don't have the time to sit down and explain things to people.
I was like, listen, I work full time, I tattoo full time, I'm doing YouTube.
And he came back, he was like, man, fuck them tattoos, pull your panties up.
He's always like, damn.
All right, motherfucker.
Wow.
Yeah.
And then we're doing all this.
Triggered you.
We're doing all this.
And then he sends me like a voice recording of himself, like, you know what I mean?
Like talking shit to me.
On Instagram?
No.
Well, we were doing like on a wicker, and it's like a separate app or whatever.
Yeah.
I played it all on the fucking, on my, on, when I went off, I played, apparently didn't watch the whole episode, but I played it.
Fucking, I read word.
For word, like our whole exchange, and I played his fucking.
I put everything out there like this little.
Can you play it right now?
Do you have it?
It's on my tablet.
Oh yeah, it's on my tablet.
I didn't bring my fucking tablet and have it on my phone, but yeah no, it's fucking.
Check out the episode.
No, that's weird.
I've come and i've had people like that read like contact me, just like just to like talk.
Who do you think you are?
You're gonna demand some from me, punk.
You don't know what I do with my day, you don't know how fucking structured my life is and everything that I had to do to get to where I am, and you're just gonna call me up and just demand that I tell you some.
Yeah, you can't let it get you.
Go fuck yourself.
That's why I have this outlet.
You know what I mean?
Because I feel better.
I'll get down and I'll just go straight the fuck off.
And then I'll just be like, as soon as I shut that camera off, dude, it feels like weights have been lifted off my chest.
And it's just like, it doesn't bother me anymore.
Really?
Yeah, it's kind of like therapy for you.
And then people like, dude, I have a fucking fan base now, believe it or not.
It's weird to even say that.
I have a fucking fan base now that people that watch everything I do and they comment on every single thing.
So when I put one of these videos out and I'm feeling like shit or I'm feeling a certain way.
Excuse me, I'm feeling a certain way.
These people are like, oh, no, don't worry about it.
Fucking bunch of assholes.
There's so much positivity.
Nobody comes on my videos hating or talking shit or anything like that.
I get no thumbs down, all thumbs up.
I'll do like 75, 100 comments per video, 300, 400 views.
You know what I mean?
It's all positivity, man.
It's all positivity.
People just wanting to fucking see me do more and more and more.
I had no idea people were going to be this interested in me and my life.
I don't really think that I'm that interesting of a person.
Apparently, I am.
Yeah.
Apparently, people just like to hear me talk.
You know what I mean?
Whatever it is, my personality, maybe I have a little bit of charisma or it's the way I break things down and explain things.
I don't know what it is.
There's something there.
Well, I think people are attracted to that kind of story with people like you that come from the gutter, from the ugly corner.
And you come up and you're able to go through everything you went through.
And then there's something also about.
Scams.
People who have committed scams or frauds.
It's the zeitgeist of our time right now.
It's all things current.
Like, whatever this little atmosphere we're living in with the fraud and the scams, it's been.
How do I want to say?
It's like Hollywood now.
Like, before it was just like an underground thing that only a select few people, like if you were a nerd or you were into fraud, you knew about it.
Now it's like motherfuckers who aren't even doing fraud or scams are saying they're scammers and fraudsters.
Just, you know what I mean?
To be part of something.
Like, it's so fucking crazy.
Like, these kids that reach out to me on Instagram, you should see their Instagrams.
Like, they're taking pictures of all this money and all this shit.
And then, like, I'll have a conversation with them, and immediately I know they don't know shit.
They know absolutely dick.
You know what I mean?
They're just fucking trying to be cool.
Like, it's cool to say you're a scammer now.
You know what I mean?
All the rappers are talking about it, and then you got this guy, fucking Bandman Kebo, whoever the fuck he is.
I haven't watched any of his videos.
Everybody's telling me, watch Bandman Kebo, man.
Reach out.
I'm like, listen, man.
Bandman Kebo?
Apparently, okay, this is what I know about him.
I haven't researched.
I've never read anything about him.
I've never watched.
I've watched clips.
And heard him talk a little bit, but it's like apparently he was some rapper and he got caught up doing check scams for like less than a million dollars.
It wasn't even that much money.
And he went to prison and now he got out.
And apparently he charges motherfuckers $150 for fucking FaceTimes.
And he's got his own YouTube channel where he tries to teach people about like fraud and fucking like CPNs and all the shit that's going to send people to prison immediately.
Like he's like the go to guy for scams and frauds now in like the hip hop community.
Bitcoin Investments and Bandman Kebo Hype00:15:35
You know what I mean?
Like he's.
Whatever man, you know what I mean like fucking whatever dude like but that I'm just saying like that's just how absurd all of this has become Yeah, you know what I mean and I don't want to be that guy I don't want to be that guy on my YouTube channel trying to teach people how to do fraud and don't doing the whole credit card thing and all that shit.
I just don't want to be that guy.
Yeah, I want to be the guy making people Helping people make better decisions You know what I mean?
I want to keep people out of prison.
Yeah, how do you gonna do that?
Well, I mean, I just feel like I have such a vast amount of life experience to draw from that I mean I can I can give good advice You know what I mean?
And I'm a straight shooter.
I don't candy coat anything.
You know what I mean?
I'm quick to tell somebody they're full of shit or what you're doing with your life is fucking meaningless and you need to do something else if you want to make changes.
You know what I mean?
Like, I just keep it real with people.
Like, I make videos about being successful and what I feel it takes to be successful.
You know what I mean?
It starts when you wake up in the morning.
You wake up, you fucking eat the same breakfast, you make your bed, you have a plan for the day.
You know what I mean?
And I just break it all down.
Like, this is what you need to do to be successful.
You know what I mean?
You need to cut all the bullshit people out of your life.
You need to quit fucking, you know what I mean?
You need to cut all the things out of your life that are fucking.
Causing you any kind of discomfort or harm you know what I mean just shit like that, you know like my guide to success So I make videos like that motivational type stuff exactly That's what I'm on dude just straight motivational like you know what I mean all positivity, you know Mm-hmm.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah Do you own Bitcoin?
I do not I I am not in the crypto game You used to be though, right?
I was yeah in 2010 or 2000 I got fried for this Okay, listen all you little fucking Bitcoin nerds out there.
I'm sorry.
I fucking listen.
I was like, I think, when I was telling the story and like that was on 500 milligrams of edibles and I'm all excited, and I was like I was like I had Bitcoin in 09.
And then somebody in the comments like well, Bitcoin didn't come out till 2010 and didn't get a name till 2011, so he's probably full of shit about everything else too.
And it's like dude, fuck you, little fucking nerds man.
You know what I mean.
Like dude, that was one or two years.
You got like fried in the comments.
Oh dude, in the comment section I got fucking roasted like and they just didn't let the Bitcoin thing go like there's so many, there's so many.
No, I haven't even.
I haven't even read the comments under my podcast on your guys' channel.
I read video.
I just won't.
I read them sometimes.
I read them like the first 24 hours.
And like Matt reads all of them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And she reads them.
She's like, no, they're mostly good.
I'm like, yeah, but you know, there's some fucking, there's some assholes in there.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, yeah.
So, you know, but you know, I was invested in Bitcoin early, man.
Real super early, you know.
And then like I said, when the Secret Service confiscated all my laptops and my hard drives, you know, all my keys to my fucking, my wallets and everything were on there.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah.
Imagine it.
I think I had somewhere around $2,100 invested in Bitcoin in like 2010 or 2011.
What was the price of Bitcoin back then?
It was pennies or a couple dollars or something like that.
God, imagine.
What is that, millions?
Millions.
Oh, I would have half a billion dollars or something like that right now.
250, 300 million dollars.
Hundreds of millions.
Yeah, yeah.
Somewhere like around that right now.
And listen, I'm sick about that all the time.
To the moon, Alice.
You can't even think about it.
I know.
It's too crazy.
I know.
But it's just like, it's one of those things like, oh, whatever.
It is what it is, dude.
Like, it doesn't, it won't, spending any kind of mental energy on that.
No, you can't.
Yeah, yeah.
So you don't fuck with Bitcoin at all anymore?
I'm not into cryptos, man.
I just feel like it's too volatile.
You know what I mean?
And I feel like, you know, crypto is, and until I can take crypto to Publix and buy groceries, or I can take crypto to the Wah Wah and fill up my goddamn gas tank or I can pay my rent with it, to me it's not real and it's just, it's garbage, because at the end of the day, you have to change out your bitcoin for us dollars.
Yeah, so the intrinsic value of bitcoin is tied to the the it, pretty much tied to the value of the Us dollar, which we know fluctuates and which we know has the FED says two percent inflation per year, which I think is somewhere like around five or six percent, you know, given the fluctuation of prices for commodities and what have you right?
You know what I mean.
So like, so say, so say, I have a million dollars in bitcoin.
I have to get them.
I have to cash that out for a million dollars in U.S. cash, which we everybody knows that if you know anything about finance, cash is a bad investment.
You nobody sits on cash, right?
Because it loses its value over time.
You know what I mean?
It loses its purchasing power.
You know, you get into fucking you get into like tangible and it's you know, uh, silver, gold, real estate, Pokemon cards.
Oh, what do they call them?
NFTs, NFTs, non fungible tokens.
Yes, non fungible tokens.
That's the new hype.
It is.
I've been, I've been, I've been looking into that too, man.
Have you?
Yeah, like the Jordan.
Flear card went up like 6,000% or something like that.
Like two years ago, it was worth like 300 bucks.
And now it just sold for over $600,000 because of the whole NFT fucking phenomenon.
Yeah.
So I've been reading quite a bit about that lately.
That shit's fucking weird, bro.
What about the whole short squeeze on the fucking when they hit AMC and GameStop and do that?
That was hilarious.
Talk about con men.
Oh, I was loving it, man.
What a con job that was.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You know, I think there was some shit with that, man.
Like the fucking hedge funds were like, you know what?
They called up fucking Robinhood.
They're like, you need to shut this down.
Oh, of course.
They definitely did.
And they did right away.
That was some Enron type shit right there.
1,000%.
And I feel like Robin Hood should be fine for that.
Oh, he might be.
Because, I mean, they were obviously intervening in a free market.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
So, yeah.
Well, and that was hilarious, dude.
Them dudes lost so much money.
All the fat cats were losing because they had to fucking cover all their loss.
It was hilarious, dude.
You spent like 200 bucks on it, right?
Did you make out?
No, it's down right now.
It is, yeah.
What did you pay?
It's climbing right now.
Oh, I think we paid around 100 bucks.
So you paid 100 bucks?
I think it's around the same.
Did you get in kind of early?
I thought you bought in for more than 100.
We got some for probably like 111.
I think it's right around the same right now.
We might have bought some even after that.
We bought a bunch of different times as it was going crazy.
We just kept buying it.
What's it at right now?
Like 90 bucks?
It's at like 100 bucks.
Is it?
Yeah, I haven't been watching it.
I was just following.
Yeah, I was like, that's a lot of money.
But it was at like 50 last week.
40 last week.
I love it.
Yeah.
Yeah, but like, dude, I invest in.
I'm like a long term investor.
You know, so I do like blue chip.
You know, stocks I do like Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft.
You know what I mean?
Companies that I think are going to be around for a long time and that are less volatile.
That's what I invest in.
And then, you know, gold and silver.
And, you know, I invest in those things as well.
Like individual stocks, like the individual blue chip stocks like that?
Yes.
No SP 500, like index funds or?
No, I don't do the index funds.
No, why not?
I just feel like I would have to move my money around a little bit too much.
And I kind of just, I like, I like hands off investing because I got so much other shit going on in my life.
And it's like, I don't want to pay somebody to, to, You know, I don't want to pay somebody to move my money around for me.
Well, that's the point.
The index funds are like the hands off approach because you're putting it across all those companies.
You're going to spread it, right?
But just like the height of what's going on right now with the economy and the country and the corona and all the other shit, it's just like.
So, the little bit of money I did have, I pulled out and I'm just like investing in sure things right now.
Like technology.
And yourself.
Right now, the spot that you're at in your life, it's probably best to just invest in what you're working on, right?
Exactly.
Yeah.
So, I think technology is going to be the future.
I don't think you're going to lose with technology at all.
It doesn't matter how the state of the union, it doesn't matter how bad things get.
You know, technology is going to be our savior, I believe.
You think it's going to be our savior?
You think it's going to be our demise?
It could go either way.
I've seen Terminator 1 and 2.
You know, so it could go either way.
I really, I genuinely believe that artificial intelligence, you know, machine learning algorithms and automation and all that's going to be the future and it's going to change our lives.
Tesla.
Yeah, I think in the next probably two decades, you're going to see more change than we have in the past 10,000 years.
Yeah, for sure.
It's exponential.
Exponential, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's going to change.
You know, just like, I don't know if you're aware of the IoT network.
It's a lot of fun.
Like the Internet of Things and like that whole rollout over the next fucking two decades with the fucking 5G and all that.
So, Internet of Things is like because of just how cheap it is to manufacture sensors and all that shit.
So, like, everything's going to be equipped with a sensor that is then linked to the Internet.
So, say there'll be a sensor in this fucking water can.
Yeah.
And I'll be able to open the app on my phone and I'll be able to check.
The pH balance, I'll be able to check the temperature of the water, I'll be able to check when it was manufactured, if it's already been opened.
There's going to be so many data points on everything that you're just going to be able to, it's going to be all that information is going to be readily available to you.
And not only that, all of that information is going to be captured in mass and used to then further the learning algorithms for AI.
So, dude, it's like this whole thing, it sounds sci fi.
It sounds like some fucking, you know what I mean, some Blade Runner.
Shit, but dude, it's all coming.
And you know what I mean?
All of this technology already exists.
You know what I mean?
It just hasn't been widely incorporated into our infrastructure, into our everyday lives.
Like I feel like it's going to within the next probably 10 to 20 years.
Are you going to get one of those Tesla sensors in your head?
Elon chip.
Sign me up.
What's the Elon chip called?
Oh, it's Neuralink.
Neuralink.
Version 2.0.
You know what I mean?
Let the first one come out and fry a couple of fucking brains.
Let somebody learn how to hack them and just pop people's fucking brains real quick.
You know what I mean?
And then I'll get the version 2.0.
Yeah, I think they're going to use the first.
Like roll out of them for people that actually need them medically.
Yeah, they're gonna help.
They're gonna help blind people see, they're gonna help fucking paralyzed people walk.
They're gonna speech impediments, all kinds of oh, it's gonna change our, it's gonna change society.
He said he wants to start taking bitcoin for his uh, Tesla cars too.
Tesla just, it bought like 1.5 billion or something like that in bitcoin.
They said, they want, you want, he wants to make it where you could buy their cars in bitcoin.
Yep, in bitcoin.
So I mean, you know he's just trying to further the the the, the whole, because he sees what's coming yeah, and he's privy to things that all of us are not.
I'm sure he sits on a few boards and he's got a few phone numbers that he knows about.
You know what I mean?
So he sees what's coming before everybody else does, obviously.
So he sees what's coming.
And it's going to be a technocracy.
And our future is going to be a technocracy.
I believe maybe even in future decades, we're even going to eliminate politics, it's going to be artificial intelligence.
Our judges are going to be AI eventually.
I mean, now you can see AI doctors.
That's going to be scary.
AI fucking therapists.
It's going to be awesome.
What are you kidding me?
It's gonna be fucking awesome.
Yeah, it's gonna be awesome.
It's also gonna be pretty terrifying.
It is, and the government's gonna know everything you're doing.
You know what I mean?
They're gonna know where you're at, and they're gonna, more so than they already do now, you know?
But I don't care.
Listen, I'm going to be able to go to the grocery store.
When they put those chips in people and they eliminate all money, there's always going to be a sector of society, like all these fucking, these dumb rednecks that storm the Capitol with the fucking idiot with the Viking horns on him.
You know what I mean?
Like, what did you guys think you were going to accomplish?
Yeah.
What do you think you were going to accomplish?
So, you know, you're going to have a whole sector of society that thinks like these people do.
But guess what?
I'm going to be able to go to the grocery store and buy groceries.
You're not.
I'm going to be able to put gas in my car.
You're not.
You know what I mean?
Joe Biden's going to have a camera in the corner of my bedroom and I'm going to say thank you.
What?
You can't fight it.
What are you going to do?
You're going to give up your life for the cause?
You can't fight it.
These people have drones.
They have predator drones.
They have ICBMs, intercontinental ballistic missiles.
You know what I mean?
They can smoke you out of your fucking bed while you're sleeping and you don't even know nothing about it.
You can't fight it.
So, I mean, what are you going to do?
Just fucking embrace it and try and, you know what I mean?
Make your way through it, dude.
That's all you can do.
And I'm going to do it with a smile.
Yeah, you just got to do the best that you can, I guess.
Fuck it.
Fuck it.
Shane's going to fight it.
Shane don't fuck with any of this shit.
Did he talk you into getting the chip?
I'm going to be long gone by then.
Yeah, you're not, bro.
10 years?
I don't know if our generation.
10 years.
Yeah, I don't know.
That's fucking.
That's decades.
60, 70 years.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I agree.
That's after, you know, the first nuclear bombs detonated on U.S. soil.
And by that time, all the people who are crazy that don't have that shit, that's going to be long gone, too.
Yeah, that's coming.
It's going to come slowly over time.
Yeah.
You know, I think there's going to be some kind of incident in the future that's going to dwarf 9 11, and it's just going to completely change our society.
The aliens?
Unfortunately.
I think, listen, the other day, like about a week ago, I live in Phoenix.
On the morning news, two pilots were flying in from New Mexico into Phoenix.
They were just taking a plane, and you hear they played the, because they were communicating with the FAA tower.
And he was like, listen, I really hate to say this, but something just flew right over the top of us.
Oh, yeah.
I saw that.
I heard that.
Yeah, and he was like, I really hate to say it, but it was a silver cylindrical fucking disc.
He's like, something just, and dude, these people, that's 30,000 feet.
Drones don't fly at 30,000 feet.
Yeah.
They can't.
They just don't operate.
But they also said there was no sound.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like they didn't mention what kind of propulsion it was.
Like if it was a, like a, a jet or, yeah, you would hear it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
UFOs don't use jets.
It's coming, man.
It's coming, dude.
Like, listen, these, the alien, whoever's observing our society from, you know, distance, from a distance, because it's, it, that's, I'm almost positive.
Not that I have proof.
Listen, they're going to be like, listen, these little fucking hairless monkeys are really fucking getting out of hand over here.
We got to fucking intervene.
They're fucking up.
They split the atom.
You know what I mean?
They're fucking making nuclear explosions.
We got to get down there and intervene.
Like something's going to happen, you know?
I just watched this crazy fucking documentary where they were breaking it down.
They were saying, like, they found a Neanderthal baby in a cave, perfectly preserved.
And they fucking sequenced the DNA using, like, I don't know if you're familiar with CRISPR.
Yeah.
So they sequenced the DNA and they were like, there's no way that humans evolved from Neanderthals.
There's no way.
Right.
There's no way.
Because in the short amount of time that it took for us, from Neanderthal to us, it's just a blink of an eye.
And it took, you know, you know about Lucy, right?
Yes.
The first fucking primate.
So, you know, when they sequenced it, they couldn't because she was a fossil.
So they're saying, like, the leap from Lucy to Neanderthal was like a million years.
And they say that our DNA is so vastly fucking different from the Neanderthals that it would have taken.
Just the amount of time, something doesn't make sense.
So then they're hinting at fucking intervention.
Advanced, advanced.
We can do it with our technology now.
Who's to say that a different civilization that can get here from a different solar system hasn't already accomplished some kind of genetic engineering?
If you have the technology to get here from a different solar system, you've got the genetics figured out.
You've got that figured out.
I know it's insane to think about that, but it's not really that far-fetched to imagine something like that happening given what we know about.
Is that what you believe?
The human.
I have to see more evidence.
You know what I mean?
They need to dig up 10 more fucking Neanderthal babies and sequence the fucking DNA.
You know what I mean?
For me, it's just, you know, I have to see more evidence.
I'm not going to take that one study and be like, oh, I'm sold.
Yeah.
Neanderthal DNA and Evolutionary Evidence00:03:02
But it's just like.
That's like a holy grail type question, though, right?
The missing link.
There's like three questions.
Like, are we alone?
Where do we go after we die?
Yeah.
And how did we get here?
Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Those are, you know, those are some of the things that keep me up at night, believe it or not.
You know what I mean?
Like, I probably spend way more time than I should thinking about those types of things.
But it's fun.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's fun.
Like, I enjoy it.
You know, I get lost for hours sometimes just like fucking contemplating all of those things, you know.
It's fun.
Yeah, the idea of some other beings coming down and like altering monkey DNA or chimpanzee DNA to accelerate the evolution and create us these hairless, big headed, blimp headed beings.
Yeah.
I mean, that's and then because those Neanderthals, I mean, they have huge, giant bodies and tiny heads.
And then we are like, well, their foreheads stuck out way bigger.
Their jaws were a lot bigger.
Their brains were, you know, their whole physiology was just different than ours.
I mean, they're, they're homo, you know, they're of the species, but they're not, you know, we're just so much different from them.
So much different.
So they're trying to figure out what happened.
What could happen that could change us in just such a short amount of time?
Jesus.
Well, yeah, that's a whole nother conversation.
Um, because you know, you know, evolution is a product of adaptation.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
So you're in your environment.
The environment plays almost a certain role in the direction of a species is going to go as far as their physical attributes because, you know, certain things in nature activate certain fucking things in our genome that over a certain amount of times allows us to exuberate.
I don't know if that's the word I want to use, but display different characteristics.
You know what I mean?
Like, white people were white because we grew up or we evolved in kind of colder climates where there wasn't so much sun.
So, our skin tone didn't develop more melanin in it to protect us from the sun.
That's why, you know, black people are black because they come from Africa where it's constant sun.
So, the melanin, it's just the environment changes us physically.
You know what I mean?
So, there's such a short amount of time that they just don't understand how we got from fucking that to where we are now so quickly.
So, I mean, yeah.
So, it's like something had to have happened.
And there's nothing even remotely like us, there's nothing that wears.
Fucking sneakers that can tattoo their bodies like like, do designs on their own skin and so being self-aware to the point so that we are wear clothes, what other, what other?
There's no other people that can even contemplate the things that we can contemplate, that can think about well how, where'd I come from?
Because that that's a big question and that question says a lot about the human psyche and just where we are in our state of evolution.
Yeah, you know, but evolution's done.
We killed that with the industrial revolution and everything else, because we control our environment now.
Mars Colonization and Alpha Centauri Flares00:11:25
So that's what I was saying about technology and about AI.
The next step of human evolution is going to be electronic.
We're going to be fucking cyber.
We already are cyborgs.
You know what I mean?
These things are never within an arm's reach away from you.
Everybody in this room.
You know what I mean?
I sleep with it under my fucking pillow.
It's never farther than an arm's length away.
Except the problem with technology, the reason it's being innovated like it is, is just to make money.
Profit.
For profit.
It's the only reason.
The only reason we keep making new iPhones every year or keep developing new apps, new whatever, is so they could just sell more advertising.
I agree with you 100%.
But I think that's the beginning.
Because now it's the amount of technology and the things that are readily available.
Available to the small sect of people that actually do want to change humanity, those tools are now readily available.
So now we're going to start seeing giant leaps and bounds in the medical industry with healthcare and the vaccines that we're going to be rolling out and the new medications and all the shit that's coming down the pipeline, I believe, is going to be a product of that.
And I was trying to explain to my girlfriend, I think, a couple weeks ago, and I was like, listen, when you and I get older, it's not going to be people taking care of us.
It's gonna be robots.
It's gonna be robots taking care of the elderly because they're already doing it in Japan Where they got the fucking robot that can scoop fucking the old people out of their bed and fucking take them to the bathroom and fucking They're already doing it in Japan and China You know what I mean?
So like I haven't even seen that.
Oh, yeah, do check that out.
It's on you heard of the the weevolver W-E-E-V-O-L-V-E-R They're like a science and tech channel and dude.
Yeah, they got all kinds of crazy shit, but yeah, so it's like like when we're elderly, it's gonna be robots taking care of us Which I prefer.
You know what I mean?
I don't want some little 21-year-old fucking girl with blue hair fucking on her telephone.
I'm over here shitting and pissing like I'm fucking choking on my catheter and she's on fucking Instagram.
You know what I mean?
I don't need that.
I don't need that.
I need a cold, calculated fucking robot that's going to fucking do the proper things.
You know what I mean?
To make sure that I'm staying alive.
You know?
So, like I said, man, the future is going to be if we make it.
You know what I mean?
Because we might not fucking make it that far.
We might disload the whole fucking thing.
Yeah, this fucking game might be over sooner than we think.
You know what I mean?
Why do you think it?
Why do you think?
What would be the downfall?
What would be our downfall?
Would it be AI first?
Oh, man.
No, I don't think we even get if we don't destroy ourselves by the time AI comes along, I think we'll be all right.
But I think it's going to be I mean, dude, just look at this past year.
Holy fucking shit.
Riots from coast to coast, burning down every fucking city, fucking storming the Capitol, fucking the elections, the fucking virus.
Dude, in one year, the whole world went to shit.
In one year.
Literally, no, within three months between February and fucking April of last year, the whole entire world went to shit.
So you can kind of see how frail the society that we live in is.
All of these structures and these systems put into place that give us this false sense of, you know what I mean?
Like, comfort.
I mean, just look what happened down in Texas.
People were freezing to death in their homes because it snowed and their infrastructure couldn't fucking take it.
And people were freezing to death in their homes.
You know what I mean?
Like, the society, there's just a thin veil.
Of, you know what I mean?
The society that we lived in.
And underneath that, it's just fucking pure chaos.
And people don't realize that.
You know?
So things can go to shit real fast.
Think about if an EMP goes off or something.
Or, God forget, a solar flare.
Like the one that happened back in like 19.
The one they had.
They had a solar flare about 110 years ago, but there was only the telegraph then.
Fried every telegraph wire from coast to coast.
So if that were to happen now, we'd be fucking done.
The whole infrastructure would come to a halt.
The trucks would stop moving.
Goods would stop moving around the planet.
The internet would be off.
It would be game over.
So the people that don't know how to take care of themselves and grow food on their own property and all that shit, everybody else is going to die because they're going to be eating each other.
It's going to be Mad Max, which took place in the year 2021, believe it or not.
I know.
How fucking crazy is that?
We're not even close to that, bro.
I know.
Hey, 2021's not over yet, bro.
Shit, man.
It's early.
There's no way we're going to advance that far in one year.
God damn it.
But, you know, it's just we live in a very, very frail society.
And I think it would take maybe one nuclear bomb going off in American City to fucking shut this whole thing down or a solar flare.
Probably a better chance that happens.
What about the next pandemic?
What about the fucking, you know, COVID fucking two that comes a couple years from now?
You know what I mean?
COVID came out of nowhere.
It didn't exist before.
And then all of a sudden, it just killed fucking, you know what I mean?
Everybody and the whole entire world shut down because of it.
Come on, so you don't know what's going to happen, man.
You know, there could be a million and one things that could take us out.
There's supposed to be an asteroid to fly by in like a year 2023.
It's going to fly by.
It's going to come within like 150 miles of the Earth.
And then it's supposed to swing back around in 2032.
And they say if it passes through this fucking little window, it's supposed to, okay, so when it comes around in 2026, I believe, If it falls within these two guidelines, when it comes back around, it's going to hit us.
And that's, it's a fucking, what do they call it?
An alley?
An extinction level event?
It's called, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I forget the DLE.
I actually just learned about it recently.
I did a podcast with a guy, a Harvard astronomer.
Okay.
Who basically, him and a lot of his colleagues, they dedicate a lot of time to just looking out for these types of asteroids, these kind of like doomsday asteroids.
And most they don't even detect until they've already fucking, are almost here or they've already passed us.
He said that they have like, plenty of time.
And then he said they actually have like multiple, the bigger ones, but the smaller ones like say, the size of a school bus, that will make it through our atmosphere and wipe out a fucking city.
Those they don't really catch that until they're fucking, either here or they fucking.
Did you hear about the the recent thing that was found that was noticed by the Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb?
They found he noticed a like a cigar shaped object that was spinning and went past us.
Yes, and it was.
It was like shiny a mua mua, a mua mua.
Yeah, the Hawaiians named it because it was found at the Hawaiian Observatory, right?
That they have in Hawaii.
Yeah, and they were saying that it may not be from our.
It was interstellar.
It was from a different solar system.
It was the very first interstellar visitor we've had from a different solar system.
Right.
That's been observed.
And then they were saying because of the elongated shape of it that it may not be natural.
It may be like a.
Right.
And the fact that the.
How reflective it was.
It was reflecting so much light.
It was spinning that they said it was made of some sort of metallic.
Material, some sort of like metal.
Yeah.
It's too bad we don't have the technology to fucking.
But it's crazy.
Like all these Harvard astronomers, all these crazy people that dedicated their lives to studying the heavens, they don't want to talk about it.
Like he obviously brought this thing to public light and is getting all this attention, but a lot of his colleagues, they don't like talking about it.
They're like, he even says himself, one of his colleagues who's a lifelong astronomer said he wished this would have never happened or it never would have been found.
Yeah, it's pretty wild.
They don't want to think about something extraterrestrial coming through.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Our universe.
Yeah.
And then we just would, we got the Perseverance rover, just hit Mars, just landed on Mars.
And we got the first fucking helicopter, the little tiny fucking drone helicopter that we're going to fly on a different fucking planet for the very first time, which is fuck.
I don't know how much you paid attention to the whole, the Mars thing that we're doing right now.
Oh, I paid close attention to it.
Okay, yeah, me too.
I've been like following everything and watching all the documentaries.
And I watched like live when they fucking, they chopped and dropped it down.
They shot it and it dropped.
And it was, it was fucking cool, man.
It was really cool.
It was super cool.
Really fucking cool.
That place is crazy, man.
Mars?
Yeah, Mars.
I don't know how we could.
I mean, it's a trip.
What is the.
Do you know exactly how they say that humans could survive there?
They have to build some sort of habitat.
Well, no, they're going to have to do something called terraforming.
Terraforming, right.
Right, where they take the carbon monoxide out of the atmosphere, turn it into oxygen, and then make an atmosphere.
Yeah, it's a whole process.
And in theory, they're going to drop these giant machines that are the size of fucking factories at different locations around the planet and then clean, kind of scrub the air, and then kind of create an atmosphere.
But what they're going to do is I think they want to melt because there's polar ice caps on Mars.
There's water on Mars, liquid water.
They've already found that.
Mm hmm.
So they think a lot of it lies below the surface of Mars.
And then so they have to melt the water that, you know, through some kind of process creates an atmosphere.
So yeah, we're going to have to go up there and live in, you know, habitats.
You know what I mean?
Like Total Recall.
That was a fucking good one.
You seen the original Total Recall with Arnold Schwarzenegger?
It's been a long time.
Oh, man.
That's such a fucking classic, dude.
Such a classic, man.
But yeah, you know, it's going to be something like that, I think, in the beginning.
And then, you know, yeah.
So I mean, it's just like we have to get off Earth.
We have to become an interplanetary species or else we're not going to survive in the long run.
Because eventually the Earth's going to get swallowed up by the Sun and the Sun's going to fucking, you know what I mean, go supernova and, you know, destroy the fucking, all the planets and everything like that.
That's an eventuality.
That's going to happen.
Given, you know, it's, you know, 100 million, whatever years.
But it's like, if you think about the longevity of our species, like, we have to get out of the solar system.
We have to get off this planet and we have to go figure it out.
Which we already are.
I mean, they find new planets every other day that, you know, could be habitable.
The crazy thing is, like, yeah, like, it might not be that far off to get people to Mars, but it would suck living on Mars.
Oh, yeah.
So fucking crazy.
It's not even habitable.
And then the temperature swings and the dust storms and the radiation and the fucking carbon monoxide.
But it's like, I feel like we have, this is going to be, we're going to have to do this to get, you know what I mean?
You know what I mean?
It's like you got to crawl before you can walk kind of deal.
Right, right.
So let's go ahead and figure out how to get to a different planet and sustain life in, you know, hostile environment, you know, with the technology that we have.
And let's figure that all out, get a plan down, get a fucking, you know what I mean?
Get a system down for that.
And then, and then we'll make the jump to different.
Fucking solar systems once we figure out the technology, the vehicle that will get us there.
Until we can be able to slingshot through a black hole.
That would be insane.
Yeah.
Was it the Rosen, the Eisen Rosen?
That was actually a theory by Albert Einstein.
And there was a name for it.
It was called the something Rosen Bridge, where it was like the black hole where you can fucking fold space and travel from one point to another.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that was actually a theory by Albert Einstein.
Yeah.
Well, the center of our galaxy is actually like a giant black hole.
I forget the name of it.
Yeah, yeah.
Something centaur.
I forget what it is called Alpha Centauri.
Yeah Alpha Centauri.
Well, no Alpha Centauri I think is the next the closest solar system Okay, yeah, that's not what I'm thinking of.
Yeah, but I Don't know.
Yeah, if we could figure out a way to travel through black holes.
Oh man, I'm still contemplating the simulation theory I think I think all of this is just a fucking joke.
You know what I mean like this is a fucking we're on a hard drive somewhere in a fucking you know what I mean in some kind of fucking Doesn't that conflict doesn't the simulation theory conflict with the super advanced Aliens coming down and accelerating the evolution.
It does.
There is quite a conflict.
Simulation Theory and Tim Dillon Portrayals00:15:36
Yeah.
So it's like, you know, pick one.
Which one do you want to go?
Yeah, which one do you want to go?
But it's like there's evidence for both.
And I know that sounds insane, but there's evidence for both.
Like there's all these major scientists coming out, like, listen, they're like fucking, what's his name?
The black dude with the afro.
Neil deGrasse.
I'm sorry.
Neil deGrasse.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to, you know, I mean, it's like, so Neil deGrasse Tyson came out and was like, listen, there's a fucking high probability that, you know what I mean?
Like this may all be a simulation.
And even Elon Musk comes out like, you know, if given.
The amount of technology that we have now on any given time scale and the exponential growth, it's like, why wouldn't we run simulations?
You know, why wouldn't we in the future run simulations of our past to try and figure out?
You know what I mean?
So it's like, if we could do it, I know it's a mind fuck.
You know what I mean?
That's the crazy thing about video games.
It's a thought experiment.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, for sure.
But you know, you're right.
Like NPCs, non player characters, and video games.
Like that whole thing, like Vice City and the whole, you know what I mean?
Yep, yep, yep.
You just don't know.
Well, have you heard about, I forget the term for it, but you can basically play Grand Theft Auto and you can be, And you can talk to people.
Like, if you get in a certain vicinity of another player on Grand Theft Auto, you can actually talk to them through the mic.
I'm sure they were going to do that.
And it's like I'm saying, it's all coming, man.
I'm sure you've seen Ready Player One.
Yes.
I think that's the future, man.
Like, I genuinely believe something along, maybe not to that extent, but I think something along that line is coming within the next probably decade or two.
Yeah.
The video game thing's freaky.
It is freaky, man.
It's fucking, it's getting out of hand now.
It's getting out of hand.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But the scary thing about it, though, is like, People that go on there and want to be anonymous, just like a boiled down version of like the comment section on YouTube, people who can just go on YouTube and just talk shit without any kind of repercussions or just like say the most fucking vulgar, like fucked up thing they could possibly think of.
Yeah, if you like translate that into video games and then that sort of has some like real life consequence to it, well, you have to sort of like make it to where it has a real life consequence to it.
What was that movie with Bruce Willis?
Sixth Sense?
No, in his element, no, it was called, um, um, where okay, everybody, everybody, okay, in the future, that this is the premise of the movie.
It's in the future and everybody has a synthetic double of themselves.
So nobody leaves the house.
They just send their synthetic double out into the world and they control them through fucking, through like virtual reality.
So yeah, it's, it's, what is that movie?
Yeah, I think I've seen that.
It's fucking wild.
Like in his apartment.
Exactly.
He stays in there.
He's all fucked up and old looking, but his sim is out in the world.
It's like fresh shaven.
He's a cop.
He's a cop.
And, but he sends his sim out into the world.
And then like there's this whole thing where it's a game where you can control other people.
Where other people, like, you can physically control another person because they got these chips, these implants in them.
And dude, the whole thing is just fucking insane.
Absolutely insane.
I wish I could remember.
You ever see Black Mirror?
Of course, yeah.
It's like that type of shit.
It is, man.
Yeah, it was a great movie.
Yeah.
That's probably what the future's like.
It's going to be something along those lines, man.
It's going to be something along those lines of virtual reality mixed with augmented reality.
You know what I mean?
Mixed with fucking the Neuralink and our brain.
It's going to be some kind of fusion, I think, of those three things.
Hmm.
That's too much.
I don't think I want to be here for all that shit, man.
That's freaky, bro.
It's wild, man.
It's such a mindfuck when you think about it.
You know what I mean?
So sci-fi.
Matt Cox told me you're into a lot of conspiracy theories.
I mean, not all the conspiracy theories.
He said you're into all of them, every single one.
Every single one of them.
Not necessarily that I subscribe and full heartedly believe in all of them, but it's fun, man.
It's fucking fun at the end of the day to think that the Clintons are fucking killing children and fucking draining the adrenochrome out of their brains and there's lizard people.
That fucking run the government, you know what I mean?
Like the Anunnaki, all of it's fucking fun.
You know what I mean?
It's hilarious.
What's your favorite conspiracy theory?
Oh, man.
Dude, it would have to be probably the lizard people, the fucking reptilians.
That's like the most insane one.
Dude, that's like some David Icke shit.
Oh, I love David Icke.
Do you really?
I love David Icke.
I mean, I don't necessarily believe what he says is gospel.
He says some shit, I'm just like, all right.
Or what about the dude, the ancient alien dudes with the fucking hair?
Yeah.
It's like, come on, you can't take that guy seriously.
You know what I mean?
Fucking get a haircut, bro, and then I might fucking listen to you.
Let's just fucking overproduce entertainment.
Yeah, but I love the reptilian.
The reptilian, the whole fucking thing is fucking pretty cool.
I fell down that rabbit hole on YouTube.
What is the gist of the reptilian?
That's the one I have not paid attention to.
So there's this race of reptilian people that quietly pull all of the strings in our society.
What is a reptilian person?
It's basically what you would think it would be like a big ass fucking lizard person.
Big ass fucking crocodile walking around.
Yeah, and they got eyes.
So they show all these videos of people on CNN and like.
You like on on like Congress, like they'll have like a Bloomberg or something playing where like all voting for Congress, and they'll zoom up on somebody and all of a sudden their eyes will fucking blink sideways and they'll have like reptilian pupils and yeah, it's just.
This is the kind of shit you get banned off Youtube for talking about.
Now it's all over youtube.
Oh yeah no, I fell down a rabbit hole on that.
Yeah, i've watched that.
They've done a pretty good job of not suggesting these videos anymore to people, but if you look for them, you can find definitely.
Yeah well, that's a whole nother conspiracy why the Youtube doesn't want you to see.
Oh dude, listen dude.
I got fried on Youtube.
They took one of my videos down and gave me a community guidelines fucking warning.
For what video?
Dude, I caught an upper respiratory infection from wearing fucking masks.
And I went to a doctor and he's like, Yeah.
He's like, Dude, he's like, unfortunately, I see this a lot coming in here.
You know what I mean?
People coming with upper respiratory infections because, you know, the masks are trapping all the fucking moisture and the germs and everything.
Were you wearing one of the surgical masks?
No, I wear cloth masks.
I don't wear the surgical masks.
That's why, right?
Yeah.
So I caught an upper respiratory infection.
So I made a video about it.
I'm like, Dude, I'm not wearing no more fucking masks.
I'm like, Fuck these masks.
I'm sick.
I got an upper respiratory infection from this shit.
I'm over it.
And that's all I said.
I wasn't telling people not to wear masks.
I wasn't advocating for not, you know what I mean?
None of that shit.
They took it down and gave me a fucking warning, dude.
I was like, what?
I was like, no.
They gave you a strike?
No, no, no.
They gave me a warning.
Okay.
Yeah.
Then they said the next one's going to be a strike.
So I'm like, okay.
Now I know.
I got to leave it all alone.
You can't do anything political, you know, unless you're their politics.
You know what I mean?
The liberal left-wing, you know, agenda or whatever.
So if you're any kind of conservative view channel or you get fucking that's not true.
You get shut down immediately.
That's not true.
There's shitloads of successful conservative channels.
Yeah, but you got to be careful about what you say.
Dude, they're trying to cancel everybody.
They're trying to cancel Shapiro.
They cancel fucking no.
How are they trying to cancel Shapiro?
I'm telling you, man.
They do shit with the algorithms.
You know what I mean?
Because they can't outright kick you off.
So they play with the fucking algorithms.
I don't want to get put on some fucking list.
I'm trying to get my channel monetized.
I want to get put on some list here.
Listen, I love YouTube.
It's the greatest thing in the world.
You know what I mean?
And at the end of the day, it's a private company.
Yeah.
So they can say and do whatever they want.
So I know a lot of people are like, oh, free speech and this, that, and the other.
I'm like, it's a private company that you can use.
You can choose to use their platform or not.
Right.
At the end of the day.
And that's the way I look at it.
Right.
But you can't really.
You kind of have no choice.
They've become a monopoly.
You really don't have a choice.
I know.
You have a choice.
You have a choice, right.
Do nothing.
Yeah.
Or use YouTube.
Follow our rules or fuck off.
It's a choice.
You know what I mean?
And then, you know, and then the whole thing with, what was the other app?
Parlor.
Yeah.
And then they went down.
Like Google was like, nope.
You can't use our servers.
Well, there's a lot of big successful political commentators that made a career during the Trump era that are left and right.
There's a lot of big successful right-wing YouTube channels that are doing good.
You know about Crystal Ball?
Oh, yeah.
I love them.
I love them.
I watch their every day.
I see what they're doing.
I see what you're doing, but I get it.
I see what you're doing, but I get it.
So they're successful.
Like I said, Shapiro's successful, and there's a couple other guys.
What about Candace Owens?
You like her?
Oh, I love Candace Owens.
She's a Fucking straight shooter, man.
She doesn't give a fuck.
She will tell you exactly how it is.
Yeah.
I think she's a little bit fantastical at times.
Of course.
Yeah.
You got to play it up a little bit.
You know what Dave Chappelle said about her?
No.
Would he tweet something?
No, he did a whole stand up skitty talk about her.
Oh, did he?
I fucking didn't catch that one.
That's hilarious.
You got to watch it.
Yeah, I'll check it out.
Yeah.
No, I love Candace Owens, man.
What's his name?
The other dude, the younger black gentleman from.
He's all over YouTube.
He's got the big truck, the Trump can.
Trump truck?
Yeah, he's like pro Trump, super pro Trump, super right wing, fucking conservative.
I don't remember his name.
I was following him on Instagram.
Do you live in Florida?
Probably sounds like he's from the south.
He's from the south.
I'm not sure if it's Florida.
Everybody down here drives trucks.
They say Trump on the back.
Everybody, I love it.
You get the billboards and shit out here.
Oh, I love it.
I live out west where it's fucking you know, everybody hates Trump.
And then I come out here and it's so refreshing.
Have you ever heard of Forgiato blow?
Of course, we talked about him.
I love Forgiato, man.
I've been fucking listen.
He is a maniac.
He had the he had the fucking speedboat out there with fucking Trump fucking with his oh, dude, the flag.
The met he was a fucking maniac.
I'm so I'm so surprised he didn't get canceled.
Because I think they tried to a little bit, but it's like, dude, he's got so much pull.
He's wacky, bro.
He's wacky.
I love that guy.
I did a whole video with him before.
I know.
I seen your guys' whole thing you guys did with him.
Yeah, yeah.
It's cool, man.
I've been fucking with him and his music for such a long time, man.
I remember when he was just coming up in Tampa, and he was just a young guy, man.
He was fucking, you know, a little bit heavier, and he was fucking, yeah, I remember all his old school shit.
I haven't seen anything about him lately, though.
Have you seen anything about him?
No, I haven't either.
Just from the Trump shit, the Trump, the boat parade.
He was out there on his big ass.
Yeah, but since then, I think his music's kind of fell off.
Wasn't he out at the Capitol?
Didn't we see a video of him out there?
Probably.
Was he storming the Capitol?
He probably was.
I think he was shooting a music video out there while it was all going on.
Oh, my God.
That is classic, man.
Sucking like fools gone wild or something.
Yeah, you got to love that guy, man.
You really got to just give it to him because, you know, everything that I, you know, everybody wants in life, I'm not going to say I, but everything that people want in life, he has.
You know what I mean?
He's got the fucking, well, he portrays that.
I don't know if he actually, you know, owns them homes and them cars and, you know what I mean?
Because I don't know his, like I said, I don't know him and I don't want to talk shit on him, but, like, apparently, the story that, you know, is on the street.
His people had money.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
And then.
They owned Auto Trader.
Yeah.
He started Auto Trader.
His grandfather started Auto Trader.
Well, there you go.
That explains it.
So I didn't know about that.
You know what I mean?
So it's kind of like, okay.
So, but still, it's like, so I don't know how much street cred, like how much validity it is to like his persona.
You know what I mean?
Because he kind of came from, but it's like people that come from cushy backgrounds can kind of be hardcore.
I don't know.
I don't want to talk shit on the dude because I fuck with him and I fuck with his music.
You know what I mean?
He's doing what he wants to do.
He's living the life he wants to live and he's not afraid to speak his mind.
And I admire people like that.
Well, he's probably one of the few hip hop artists that are like super.
He's the only one.
Super hard Trump supporters.
Him and, well, I don't know if Tom McDonald, you know, you know who Tom McDonald is?
The Canadian rapper.
He's got, he just put out a couple songs that are making major waves right now.
One's called Fake Woke, where he talks shit on Eminem.
He's got one line in it.
I think it said something about Eminem used to be gay bashing and murdering his moms.
Now he doesn't want a fan if they voted for Trump.
Like this whole thing about just this whole fake woke.
Fucking, you know what I mean?
Like, he's like, yeah, so he's like Tom McDonald.
He's got a couple other fucking Chris Webby.
I'm not, you know, if you're familiar with him, he's like super political about like the whole fucking fake woke culture.
Really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, I mean, there's a few rappers, but.
Did you see Mr. Potato Head's now non binary?
Mr. Potato Head is now just Potato Head?
How far is this going to go?
By the way, you still don't have health insurance.
How far is this going to go, man?
Tim Dillon tweeted that.
It was so fucking funny.
I love Tim Dillon, man.
I am obsessed with Tim Dillon, dude.
I watch his fucking podcast faithfully.
I fucking everything that dude does, I love it, man.
Shane hates him.
Really?
I've never even seen him.
I've never seen him.
I did not say that.
Oh, man, dude.
Tim Dillon is just such a fucking funny motherfucker, dude.
And he's all about the conspiracies.
Yeah, he is.
He was on.
He's like the gay Alex Jones, but funnier.
Yeah, he did a podcast with Rogan and Alex Jones.
Yeah, yeah.
He left LA and moved out to fucking Austin.
Texas, yeah, yeah.
He had dinner with Alex Jones and fucking Joe Rogan all the time.
I fucking love Tim Dillon.
I was on a club.
You know Clubhouse?
Are you on Clubhouse?
Yep, yep.
He was on there last night.
He started a room on Clubhouse called Woke Hoes Trying to Fuck.
I was in one room he had.
Should women own Bitcoin?
Yeah.
Should women be allowed to own Bitcoin?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Dude, he's such a classic, dude.
I was on Bitcoin last night or today, actually.
I ran a fucking room on fucking Clubhouse.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, in a Bitcoin Clubhouse.
I was on Clubhouse.
I go on every day.
And Tyler, obviously, you know Tyler.
Tyler's like my guy now.
Is he?
Oh, he's like, yeah, he's my booking agent now.
So Tyler's amazing.
He's everybody's booking agent.
I fucking love Tyler, man.
Tyler is such a great guy.
Listen, he will text me all day long.
Contact this person.
Reach out to this person.
This person wants you on their podcast.
Reach out to this person.
This person.
I've already got like three podcasts just from Tyler.
Oh, yeah, big ones.
And, you know, every single day, and like, and then I'll go on Clubhouse and he'll be on there.
Oh, yeah.
So I'll join a room and he'll bring me up to speak.
Yeah.
Every time.
He's like, can you bring my friend John up here?
And then I'll come up and then all of a sudden I'll just take over the room.
Yeah.
Because I'll start telling my story and fucking whatever the room was about, it just shifts to me and everybody's just asking me questions and I just take over the room.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
One of the moderators got pissed earlier today.
She said, can we reset the room, please?
Oh, my God.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And like, and like one of my, like, people I'm working with, one of my directors was on there and he was like, dude, you just took over the room and then, and then like, Like, some bitch came on, can we reset the room, please?
One of the moderators.
And I was like, quietly leave.
I'm out of here.
You know what I mean?
Fucking go to another room.
Yeah, Clubhouse is fucking awesome.
Oh, I love it.
I fucking love it, dude.
What do you think so great?
What do you think the best part about it is?
Dude, it's just like, it's so authentic because it's in the moment.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
It's just off-the-cuff conversations and it's live and it's just like, you know, there's just all these ideas swimming around.
And it's like, I get a lot of attention.
You know what I mean?
When I go on things, I start talking about my story and shit.
You know what I mean?
So it's like, for me, it's fun.
You know what I mean?
Because maybe if I was just like a quiet bystander and I was just, even then it would be kind of fun.
But dude, you get to listen to all these fucking CEOs and you get access to, you know, people you would have to wait for something to come out on YouTube or TV and all of a sudden they're right here in your pocket.
You can pull them out and I can go on here and I can, Tim Dillon's on here, fucking Rogan's on here, Tom Green is fucking hosting rooms every other night.
I'm fucking, you know, hanging out with Tom Green and dude, he'll bring me up to talk.
He brought everybody up that joined his room.
He brought them up to talk.
Everybody.
So everybody could have a chance to fucking bullshit with him and talk with him.
Dude, I love it.
I fucking love it.
I want to host a room.
Me and Tyler are working together.
He's trying to get a couple of moderators that can bring big crowds in.
And I'm going to do a room twice a week if I can.
Is Trump on Clubhouse yet?
They haven't kicked him off that long.
I'm showing a matter of time before he gets on it.
Could you imagine?
Oh, man.
Dude, I tried to get into Tim Dillon's room the other night and it was full.
Really?
Yep.
It said room is full.
What's the maximum amount of people?
Tom Green Rooms and Apple Product Elitism00:04:19
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's got to be a lot, though.
I kept trying to join it because room was full.
And then I hit Tyler up because Tyler will ping me every time Tim Dillon does a room or he thinks, Anytime there's a room that he feels like I should be in, he'll ping me.
Yeah.
And I'll jump on it.
Sometimes the room will be full, but then there's like overflow rooms, which I haven't even figured that out yet.
So, huh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a whole thing, dude.
I love fucking love Clubhouse.
I bought an iPhone so that I could go on Clubhouse.
What were you, an Android guy?
Oh, I've never owned any Apple products.
Why?
Anti-Apple.
I've been anti-Apple my entire life.
Why?
Dude, I don't like the company.
I don't like the product.
I don't like the operating system.
I just don't like it at all.
I don't like anything about the fucking jesus Christ.
You're a rebel.
Why?
Listen, I don't know, man.
Just just how they treat their workers and like over there, and just like the slave labor is the norm.
I don't like the elitism that comes with Apple products.
What about Google?
All the douchey fucking rich assholes that have the Apple Watch and the new iPhone and the ear pods, and they make sure you see all of it, and they got the silly little fucking interchangeable bands that all got a fucking match, you know what I mean?
And some girls, if you text them and your chat bubble isn't fucking green or whatever the fuck it is with iMessage, dude, they won't even.
Dude, the whole thing's fucking retarded and I didn't want no part of it.
What about Facebook?
What about Google?
What about Amazon?
I don't use Facebook.
She runs my Facebook.
I don't have anything to do with it.
You know what I mean?
I use Google, obviously.
I use Amazon, obviously.
But it's like.
So when Clubhouse was exclusively only for Apple, I had to fucking.
I was like, okay.
And now that I have the.
I got the fucking.
The 12 Pro Max.
Damn.
Baller.
I get them.
These consultations are paid.
I got the big bad boy.
I got to get the best one.
If it's going to be my first Apple product, it's going to be the best one.
I can't go back.
I probably could never go back now.
I could never go back now.
It's pretty awesome.
It is cool.
Everything that I didn't like about iOS, they changed with iOS 14.
You know what I mean?
A lot of the little functionality things that just aggravated me and I want to slam it on the ground.
Somebody would pass me an iPhone to look something up and I wouldn't even.
I wouldn't even know what to do with it.
Right.
But you could take it back, dude.
I don't even want to deal with this.
What do you think about it?
I mean, the iPhone hasn't changed in so long.
Do you remember when the iPhone first came out?
I do, yeah.
Did you ever have a friend who had one?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I had a friend who got the iPhone as soon as it came out, the iPhone 1.
And it was just like this.
Like, for some reason, that moment, I have it like seared into my memory of like how insane that fucking thing was.
It was Bradford got it.
Oh, yeah.
And he had that fucking iPhone.
I remember like, just like, bro, can I like play with it for five minutes?
Look at it.
Like, look at your texts and all this.
Yeah.
So crazy.
Nothing has happened like that since then.
I know.
Nothing has come out that just changed the game so much.
Changed everything.
Changed everything.
And that was a decade ago.
Yeah.
Give or take.
Over a decade ago, probably.
When did the first iPhone come out?
Do you remember?
No.
Austin, you know?
Can somebody give that a goop?
Yeah, Austin, you should know.
Over a decade.
Not much by maybe 11 or 12 years.
2009, 2005 or 7?
2007.
Yeah.
I was fucking that was the year after we graduated high school so 14 years ago came out That's insane.
Were you graduated 06 06?
Okay, I was 03 Okay, yeah, so I mean in 14 years What the fuck's up?
Why can't tech innovate?
What I mean what's up?
Why can't we come up with something like Paradigm shifting like the iPhone again?
Yeah, well, I think it's just you know the technology Matthew Cox that's Matt.
Where's he didn't want to podcast he didn't want to leave you didn't show up he didn't want to because he's like no, it's gonna then he's gonna fucking make it about me or whatever.
Yeah, no, he's blowing you know he had paintings To do, he just had paintings, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm sure he did, yeah.
That's how he's paying his bills nowadays, yeah.
Um, which hopefully, he just did a fucking Amscott commercial, yeah.
You know, hopefully, these paintings are gonna be a whole new revenue stream for me as well.
I've already got people that want like the first one.
He's like, I want the first one.
You already, you know, I got people trying to commission shit for me now, so yeah, but yeah, um, bro, I want you to give me a tattoo, yeah, we can do that.
And this next time I come out, um, I'll bring all my stuff with me.
You'd be my first tattoo I ever got, hell yeah, Mosiak.
You, I put a video up on my channel, I tattooed myself.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Like, I was supposed to have a client come in and I was going to film the whole thing and do a time lapse.
And, like, they bailed on me.
Really?
And I was like, well, fuck it.
Visualization Power and Tattoo Belief Systems00:02:18
So I just fucking tattooed myself and, like, filmed the whole thing and, like, did a walkthrough.
What tattoo was it?
What'd you do?
Yeah.
Oh, you want to see it?
Yeah.
Damn pirate skull.
That's sick.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Film the whole fucking thing, dude, on my YouTube channel.
How did you do it?
Like, did you have to, like.
No, I just basically, like, this.
Set it like that.
So you did it upside down?
Yeah.
Well, you got to start here and work your way.
Right.
Work your way down, yeah.
So, you obviously like put some sort of like ink on there first, some sort of like temporary thing that you can trace over that you can.
A stencil?
Yeah, yeah.
I use a stencil.
I use a stencil.
Output transcript Out and then run it through a stencil machine and then it creates a stencil and then you put the stencil on and then you fucking, yeah.
Who did the one on your head?
My buddy Rory Rudy.
If you guys want to check him out on Instagram, at Rory Rudy.
That thing's insane.
R O R Y R U D Y.
Yeah, he did my entire head, my neck, everything, my head.
Let me see the top of your head.
What's the pain level on that?
Ooh.
On a scale of 1 to 10.
Honestly, the head wasn't that bad.
No.
It was the belly.
Really?
Belly, hands down, was the worst.
Fucking agonizing pain I've ever been through my life, the head.
I know you would think that the head would be just fucking brutal, but it's not really.
No, the back of the neck was fucking pretty hardcore.
I was pretty uncomfortable for me and then like down in this, ditch down here yeah yeah, but yeah, what is that right there?
Is that God?
Right there, I have.
So I have Thor on one side and I have Odin on the other.
Okay yeah yeah, yeah.
So yeah no, the head honestly really wasn't that bad.
There was this nerve, there's a nerve right here that went down and behind my eye yeah, and every time he hit it like my eyeball felt like it was gonna.
Yeah, it was like it was Hardcore man, but yeah, besides that little spot, it really wasn't my head, but it wasn't that bad, yeah, yeah.
Like, onto the forehead, like out here with these little leaves and shit come out, yeah, and then like the Tyrannosaurus Rex kind of comes because I had to match it, so like the forehead was like, why Illuminati?
Why'd you do the Illuminati?
Um, I know everybody like that's that's like the symbol for like the Illuminati, but like I kind of just view it as my the physical representation of my belief system, you know what I mean?
Like the third eye and the fucking you know, like the whole I call it karma, call it um.
Law of attraction.
Final Cut Editing and Camera Gear Choices00:14:51
You know what I mean?
I just believe personally, like I'm not, I'm an atheist.
I don't believe in like the co creation theory or, you know, God and heaven and hell and the deities and all that shit.
I don't believe any of that.
You know, I think that's nonsense to me.
I believe that there's some kind of energy that permeates throughout the entire universe and throughout all living things that you can tap into and kind of manifest things.
My whole entire life, I manifested all of this into existence.
I made all of this happen just through, just through like visualization, you know what I mean?
And just thinking about it.
Like that's, I owe all of my success in my life to that.
You know, so that's just my belief system.
So that's why that's what that tattoo means to me.
That was my physical, that's the representation to me, you know.
And I think science is going to prove all of this in the long run.
I think through physics and through like particle physics, and like I think it's going to prove it in the long run that that, you know, like dark matter or whatever they're saying, like, you know what I mean?
Like, it's all going to eventually be proven.
Hmm.
That's just my opinion, though, you know, and I'm just some fucking asshole from Miami, some crazy fucking cracker from Miami, you know what I mean?
What do I know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's wild, man.
Yeah, you got to get back to Florida, bro.
Yeah, I think I'm going to.
I'm just trying to figure out, you know, the right way to do it because, you know, I want to still be able to have a YouTube studio.
You know what I mean?
Not at my fucking house.
You know what I mean?
Like, because I like how I have it now.
It's just like set up and it's just like fucking, you know, I like being able to go somewhere and record and then go home.
You know what I mean?
So if I'm able to come down here and do that, then I think, you know, I think I'll be happy.
So, you know, we'll see how these other major projects I'm working on kind of unfold.
Fold for me, yeah, you know, so because it may allow me to, you know, financially do whatever the fuck I want to do, yeah, you know, so yeah, I'll figure it out.
Cool, let's take a break and smoke this spliff.
Let's do it.
Oh man, those two hits got me singing.
What are you guys running like GH4s or something?
Yeah, I'm learning about cameras and everything now.
Like, I know about you know, the SM7B and the fuck, I know all the cameras and the different lighting and SM7B.
What the fuck is that?
I don't know.
I don't know cameras at all, to be honest with you.
I don't even know what that is.
Are you laughing back there right now?
Yeah, he is.
He knows what an SM7B is.
What's an SM7B?
I don't know anything.
It's like a Black Magic camera or something?
You guys are all fucking with me right now.
No, I don't know what the fucking SM7B is.
Maybe I'm too.
Maybe I took too many hits of that doink out back.
What's an SM7B?
I don't know what any of these are.
What is this?
Oh, this fucking microphone.
Yeah.
I don't know, bro.
I don't keep up with the names of all these things.
What you're talking about, bro?
This is a Shure SM7B.
That's the model of the microphone.
This is an industry standard for all podcasts.
This is the Rogan podcast.
This is the Theo Vaughn podcast.
This is fucking your mom's house podcast.
Everybody uses the Shure SM7B.
They all use the same one.
You should have known, Danny.
You bought these things.
Yeah, bro.
I don't keep track of the model.
These things are like $400 a piece, dude.
I don't know.
I fucking wouldn't know the model number.
You know how much shit I had to buy to put in this thing?
Oh, I know.
I just did it.
Yeah.
I just finished doing it.
No, I know.
Fuck, I know all about it.
So you got the SM7Bs?
Dude, I got the fucking.
I went with the Rode podcast mics.
So not the SM7Bs.
I didn't go with the SM7B, but I'm going to upgrade.
I'm going to upgrade.
Because I'm going to upgrade.
I'm definitely going to.
All them $1,000 consultations.
You better be rocking an SM7B.
John Boziak.
I know, I know, I know.
Listen, I got my training wheels on right now, okay?
Yeah.
Oh, I mean, you know, like, I'm, dude, I'm just, I'm so green to all of this.
Like, before, I didn't know what an XLR cable was.
Well, it's sick that you're trying something completely fucking new.
You're in a whole new universe of fucking professional work.
Yeah.
It's not like being, you know, a tattoo artist or a graphic designer or a credit cards guy.
No, it's not, dude.
This is, you know, I'm learning that you just have to spend the money and get the right shit and do everything the right way, or else the end product, you're not going to be happy with it.
And me being OCD.
Well, you got to start.
You don't have to do all that shit right away.
You got to start just doing shit.
Well, you got to start just doing shit.
In my mind, I know.
Well, I started with my cell phone in my car.
If you watch my earlier videos, when I first started my channel, I only had my cell phone.
And I would just sit in my car because that's the only place it was quiet.
And I would turn on the lights.
And that was the proper lighting.
Yeah.
And that's where I did all my videos at.
Yeah.
This dude I had on the podcast a couple days ago, I was just telling you about the psychedelic guy.
He shot a whole documentary on his iPhone, like a Trump rally or something like that.
It got fucking tons of attention online.
It was like a great documentary.
You never would have thought it was shot on an iPhone.
Yeah.
But he doesn't care.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know, so I'm like I said, I'm just learning dude.
I got I'm learning about the cameras I watched probably a week or two worth of YouTube videos every single day about the comparison between the alpha 6400 Sony or the then it might because I had a price range what worth of YouTube videos like a week's worth like every day all day like for a week just for the cameras just to figure out the camera that many hours of YouTube consumption I was fucking obsessed like just to figure out the camera situation So you know, yeah, you can go down a dark hole Trying to figure that shit out.
Because I don't know what aperture is.
I didn't know what the fucking ISO, but I didn't know any of this shit.
You know, I didn't go to school for fucking film.
I don't know about any of this shit.
Yeah, I didn't, yeah.
You know, so I had to learn all of that.
And I had to watch videos about what an aperture was and about, you know, the different, how the, the, the, what the lens basically does is changes the way the fucking, the amount of, how wide it's open.
Yeah.
The amount of light it lets in and that overexposure for the shots and all.
Like, I had to learn all of that.
I didn't know any of that.
You know, so I, once I learned those things, I was like, okay, well, this is my price range I'm working with.
And here's the cameras that are in my price.
So then I had to do all the comparisons, break them down.
I was either going to be the Sony Alpha Or the Canon M50 or the Sony ZV1, which I ended up getting two.
I got, actually, I ended up getting the Alpha 6400, but I got the ZV1 as my main shooter.
That center camera is the Alpha 6400.
These two are GH4s.
That's the best camera you buy.
Yeah, I know the Lumix Ds.
Yeah, these are the best.
They're so cheap.
They're like 500 bucks.
Yeah.
I don't know, man.
Like, I did my research, dude.
It was like, I kind of came down to the 6400 for the wide shots because, you know.
That's a wide shot, yeah.
Yeah, for the wide shot camera.
But I use right now for my up close shots, I'm using the ZV1, which is, it's a camera, it's a point and shoot, but.
It's in the higher price range.
It's in like the $1,000 price range.
And it was created by Sony as their first camera specifically for YouTubers.
For bloggers and people who shoot YouTube videos and shit like that.
So it was specifically designed for that purpose.
And I was like, oh, that's fucking.
So I bought one of those, and that's what I shoot everything on.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's what I shoot all my content on.
Yeah.
But like, I don't even.
I'm not even editing in Final Cut or anything like that.
I'm fucking editing on a Samsung Galaxy Tablet S7.
No fucking bullshit on a free program called InShot.
I fucking bullshit you now.
That's how I edit everything.
That's great.
The music, the fucking, that's how I do all my intros, fucking everything.
You know, all the mixing, the fucking, you know.
So eventually I'm going to get a Mac.
I'm going to have to.
Or, you know, a gaming PC because I like Windows.
And if I'm only editing video on it, what the fuck does it matter?
I'm not going to spend $2,500 on a MacBook.
This is like a legit gaming PC we have over here and that thing works great.
Yeah, I mean, you can edit 4K video without dropping fucking frames and all that shit on it.
If you've got at least fucking, you know, 16 gigabytes of RAM, you know what I mean, and a good fucking graphics card.
So it's like, yeah.
You know, so I can build one of those with my eyes closed.
You know what I mean?
I've been building computers since I was 10 or 12 years old.
You know, so I go and build one of those and then, you know, then I'll get into Final Cut and then I'll get into fucking editing all the time.
Well, Final Cut, you don't use that anymore.
People use Premiere.
What is it now?
Premiere.
That's okay.
That's what it is.
Premiere.
I think Final Cut went out of business.
Okay.
No, I don't know.
Final Cut was owned by Apple, I think, but they don't make it anymore.
Maybe they do.
They make like a more consumer version of it.
So, like I said, I'm still, I don't even know that side of it.
Final Cut's now like just a basically boiled down to an iPhone app.
Yeah, okay.
Okay.
So yeah, I'm going to, um, that's, I still have to learn the whole editing side, but like, I feel like my videos are edited decently.
You know what I mean?
Like, I do a pretty good job of fucking, of getting everything cut up now.
And like, since I record and I edit my own videos, like, I know, like, if I'm going to pause or like I lose my train of thought, I know to give a, like, a buffer in between my pause and like when I hit pause on the thing or because like it's in that pause where you're going to edit at.
You know what I mean?
Like, that's where you're going to make your cuts at.
And if you don't give yourself enough pause, it's going to, it's going to cut the, it's going to make the jump from one fucking cut to the next not.
Kind of a little less seamless.
Yeah, you know so i'm learning all these little tricks and you know.
But, like it said, it's just like i'm obsessed with it, dude.
I wake up and I just do this all day long, every day, you know, learning about everything, the light and the lighting's, a whole other animal dude that I, i'm just fed.
That's the hard part, absolutely fed up.
It's also a really important part.
Yeah, i'm fed up with it, dude.
Like every time I move a light it changes the whole.
And then I got to change the iso back and then you got to get one of those.
Yeah well, I don't know if you've seen in, like my, my recent videos on my channel with the way my I have like a back wall set up.
Yeah, that wall's sick.
Everybody digs the wall, man, huh?
Everybody digs the wall.
I like the wall.
I like how it's split up.
That came from right here, man.
That came from right here.
Where'd you get that wall?
So, I actually was watching a lot of YouTube channels, like the gamers.
And so there's like this whole subculture of just videos about gamers and their setups.
So, yeah, for people listening who don't know what we're talking about, it's like, explain what the wall looks like.
So I have like a faux wall in the back of me.
It's like this crazy 3D looking wall.
I have PVC, a three-dimensional PVC tablet.
wall tiles that I arranged in a certain pattern behind me and then I got it lit up with LED or RGB floodlights where I can change the colors and do whatever I want.
Yeah, and then I got like a one single stationary leather chair with my nice table with the mic arm and the fucking mic boom.
You know what I mean?
I got legitimate fucking cinema lights, but it's just like I think I have to go with a softbox because I need, because the way my chair sits in the wall, I still want the wall to be lit up very well.
No, I know, and it's like I'm struggling with it.
You need one of those, that's it.
But I don't know if they just hanged right above the camera, right in front of me.
So if you're sitting here, you're facing me, and say I'm the camera, right?
I'm the camera shooting at you right now.
Say this is your camera shooting at you.
Yes.
This light ball is to the right of you.
It's lighting up half your face.
It goes right down your nose.
And there's a shadow that goes right down the center of your face.
That's what you want.
Okay.
It gives you more depth.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I learned about that.
Yeah.
But one guy told me to put.
And you already have the light on the back wall.
So you have a back light.
Yeah.
I have two lights.
So I have one here.
And they're, you know, they're adjustable.
They're the.
I don't remember.
And it's a soft light, too.
So you want soft light like that.
Right.
Yeah.
And then you don't want it to be directly.
I mean, it depends.
Well, I can adjust the softness of my lights.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You got to fuck around with it.
I know, man.
Like I said, I'm.
I just, I wish I had more time because I got a tattoo and then like, it's like I've been thinking about just quitting tattooing to be completely real with you.
Yeah.
Why?
Because I want to do YouTube, man.
Like I want to make videos, dude.
Like I want to make, I want to, I want to do content.
Like I don't give a fuck about anything else.
Everything else, like the passion that I had when I first started tattooing and like made it my life, that's how I kind of feel now about like creating content for YouTube and like doing podcasts.
You know what I mean?
And it's like, I, I enjoy, like I love tattoo.
It's been my life for, you know, forever, but it's like, I find myself at the tattoo shop fucking just wanting to leave and go to the studio and fucking like, oh, I got an idea.
And it's like, fuck, I got this idea in my head.
I could record this fucking sick video right now, but I have to sit here.
What kind of ideas for videos do you have?
You have just ideas popping in your head and you just want to talk about it?
Yeah.
Just like talk about it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just like societal shit, like issues going on in my own life, like positivity shit, like how to be successful, how to fucking set goals and how important goal setting is in life and break that down and fucking, yeah.
And everything comes from my perspective, from my unique perspective, from my brain, because we're all different.
We're all different fucking humans.
We all have different thoughts and and it's like this whole you know wave of fucking of just being able to watch another human being and get their perspective on on a different angle, and you're like it's, you know, something you don't even think about.
You know, and I think that's just what I, what I do for people, because you should, I don't.
I don't know if these people are weirdos, I don't know what the fuck's going on, but I would like to think not.
I would like to think that all my, most of my subscribers are level-headed, you know, regular functioning adults in society, and these people tell me that I have a.
I affect their lives.
You know what I mean.
Like, I helped one dude fucking, you know, get off drugs, literally.
Well, he says, I don't know.
He could be, the whole thing could be fucking bullshit.
But apparently, I helped him fucking my videos, like the ones I made about, like, I made a video about, like, substance abuse and about, like, you know, like being addicted to shit and, like, you know, the mental process that I feel like you have to go through to get rid of the fucking addictions and, you know, all that shit.
And he's like, dude, I've been clean for X amount of days or whatever.
And then, you know, I got other people that are like, listen, I wait for your videos.
I have reminders set.
So, like, you know, I got one dude in Maryland, he said he's got the whole DMV fucking rocking with me.
He works at the DMV and he's fucking got everybody at the DMV fucking subscribed to my fucking channel watching my videos and shit.
That's fucking all over.
So, like, dude, this shit's going crazy.
It's going, I got people from Australia.
I got people from fucking, not Ireland, but Scotland reaching out and just hitting me up on Instagram and saying, yo, mate, you know, we fucking down under fucking, yeah.
Scotland.
Hey, mate.
Hey, mate.
Oh, yeah.
Listen, I could show you.
I think they talk like that in Scotland.
No, I could show you all the DMVs.
I really wish you had that kid who was talking shit to you.
I really wish you had his recording saved on there.
I know.
No, no, no, no.
It's on a different app on a different device.
Okay.
Yeah.
So even if I log into that app on this device, it won't be there.
It won't be in the fucking app.
But yeah, you know, so.
Put your energy towards something positive.
It's not towards fucking.
You know what?
It got to me that day for some whatever reason.
No, I'm talking to that kid, not you.
Oh.
Put your energy.
Look at what you're doing.
You're putting all this energy and you're obsessed with the cameras.
You're obsessed with getting everything right and getting the lighting right and talking about it and wanting to do it.
And there's some people out there who just want to put all their energy towards some fuck shit like that.
Yeah.
I mean, just to make like, what is the payoff to try to be like, you know what?
Fuck you.
You got to tell me how to do this or because you're whatever.
Like, it's wild, man.
Like, people are just fucking, some people in this world are just burnt.
Yeah.
You know, and then some are just kids.
You know, they just don't have, you know, experience.
They don't have enough life experience to understand that you don't speak to people that way.
And there's a certain way that you go about getting what you want.
Yeah.
You know, no consequences to it anymore.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, you know, they just don't learn these lessons, you know.
So that's why, unfortunately, there's people like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's why parenting is really important.
I agree.
I agree.
Yeah.
Do it right.
Yep.
Well, this was a great podcast, bro.
