[00:00:36] What are you gonna be for Halloween? [00:00:40] I was thinking about printing out. [00:00:42] So I talked to Juan about this. [00:00:43] Thought about printing. [00:00:44] What's so funny? [00:00:45] No, the inside joke? [00:00:47] No, I just have like a million ideas. [00:00:49] I got a million ideas too about you can be following. [00:00:51] Keep going. [00:00:53] Sorry to interrupt. [00:00:53] See, I was thinking about printing out my wanted posters and putting them out and then basically just have an ID that says, you know, my name's Gary Sullivan. [00:01:07] And then people would say, well, Gary Sullivan. [00:01:10] That is a good idea. [00:01:11] You know, see if people can. [00:01:12] Put it together. [00:01:13] Yeah. [00:01:14] I like that. [00:01:14] You could be an FBI agent or a Secret Service agent. [00:01:18] I guess that's possible. [00:01:19] That's possible. [00:01:20] That's good. [00:01:21] What about you? [00:01:23] What are you going to be for Halloween? [00:01:24] Tato? [00:01:25] Hat rack? [00:01:26] I mean, no plans for a costume. [00:01:27] Probably just wing it last minute if we do something. [00:01:29] Just wing it last minute. [00:01:31] We got a Thursday night football game going on because Shane is a degenerate gambler and he likes to bet on all the games with mybookie.ag. [00:01:39] And he's got a lot of. [00:01:40] How much money you got riding on this game with Packers versus the Cardinals? [00:01:44] Just. [00:01:44] Couple hundred, just a couple hundred, that's it. [00:01:47] He's a high roller, small roller in the betting world. [00:01:50] Do you ever bet on sports matt? [00:01:53] No, I got my fairy wings on. [00:01:56] I see that. [00:01:56] I can only imagine what people are going to say in the comments in memory, in memory of Shane Lee.com. [00:02:02] That's right, rest in peace. [00:02:03] Who Shane Lee, the guy from the Deckhand show? [00:02:06] He's a star. [00:02:07] Oh yeah, he's a star of our documentary. [00:02:08] What he died, how did he did? [00:02:10] He had cancer, I think pancreatic cancer. [00:02:12] Oh man, that's horrible. [00:02:13] Yeah, it sucks. [00:02:14] How long did that take? [00:02:15] He had a good life, though He probably had it for a long time. [00:02:18] And one day he just went to sleep, didn't wake up. [00:02:19] Yeah. [00:02:20] You know, he was never really in top shape health or anything anyway. [00:02:25] I'm not sure if you've seen any of the videos. [00:02:27] Yeah, I've seen a few of the videos. [00:02:29] But none of those guys look good. [00:02:30] They're all rough. [00:02:31] They're rough. [00:02:32] How was your trip to, well, you just got back from Ohio like this morning. [00:02:36] Yeah. [00:02:37] Yeah. [00:02:37] Really, the plane landed at like 12 40. [00:02:41] I didn't get home until like 1 30 in the morning. [00:02:46] What were you doing there? [00:02:46] Another title lock? [00:02:48] Yeah. [00:02:48] It was a title lock commercial and. [00:02:50] So it was a title lock commercial. [00:02:54] And we also shot a podcast for an NFT that I'm doing with Investment Joy. [00:03:03] What is that face? [00:03:04] I'm listening. [00:03:05] What the fuck do you mean? [00:03:06] You're looking at me like, like you. [00:03:09] Yeah, I did an NFT for Investment Joy, and he's going to auction it off. [00:03:12] A guy's name is Brandon. [00:03:13] So we did a video on that. [00:03:16] And it's actually funny because I actually painted the painting, right? [00:03:20] And then they have it digitized. [00:03:21] And then they sell like 1,700. [00:03:23] Tokens, but he actually took the real painting and put it behind bulletproof glass. [00:03:28] He's got to have a live feed on Twitch 24 hours a day, so you can always look at the real painting. [00:03:36] He's actually got some good ideas. [00:03:38] It's pretty funny. [00:03:40] It's pretty interesting. [00:03:41] So, yeah, so we did that. [00:03:42] And then I did the Home Life Lock. [00:03:44] We did kind of like a commercial, but it was real. [00:03:49] His stuff is real candid. [00:03:50] You know what I'm saying? [00:03:51] It's real, like, just let's go walk in here and talk to this person. [00:03:54] Was it the same senator or whatever that you did with? [00:03:57] You did the commercial with us? [00:03:58] No, That's Newt Gingrich. [00:04:01] This is the guy that runs Investment Joy. [00:04:04] Oh, I thought you were talking about Title Lock. [00:04:06] Yeah, I. For okay, the guy that runs Investment JOY. [00:04:09] We did a. [00:04:10] We did a. [00:04:10] We're doing a whole podcast on title fraud. [00:04:14] So we did one for the NFTS and one for title fraud. [00:04:17] Okay, got it so that you know, and they're, they're sponsoring it obviously okay, and so they paid for that. [00:04:21] Fly me up there, keep stay in a Airbnb for a couple days and flew me back. === Real Candid Commercial (04:12) === [00:04:26] Oh, cool and uh. [00:04:27] But when this is the fun part, and this is what Danny wants to hear, because this is the good part is that when I went into, when I was actually when I was changing planes in in um Charlotte, I was walking down the aisle and I get this sometimes where people will look at me and it's like, it's not like, it's weird. [00:04:46] Like, it's like they're admiring that hairline. [00:04:48] So they'll look at me. [00:04:49] I'm just going to ignore this shit. [00:04:50] I'm going to talk to you. [00:04:51] So they'll look at me like this and I'm thinking to myself, like, that's weird. [00:04:56] Like, and they don't say anything, but or you can see him double take and take a look and take a look. [00:05:00] Like, I don't know. [00:05:00] Okay. [00:05:01] But this guy, I was walking and he did that. [00:05:03] I'm walking down the aisle and he's looking at me and all of a sudden he kind of looks at me and looks at me. [00:05:06] I get over there and I'm looking at him and then I go to sit down and before I even sit down, he goes, hey, you're, You're Cox, right? [00:05:13] You're that guy, Cox. [00:05:13] You're Matt Cox. [00:05:15] And I went, I said, Yeah, what's up? [00:05:18] And he goes, Yeah, bro. [00:05:19] He said, I've seen you on concrete. [00:05:21] Yeah, I've seen you on concrete. [00:05:23] He said, Yeah, I've watched all your stuff, bro. [00:05:24] You're, you got an amazing story. [00:05:26] You got an amazing story. [00:05:28] And I was like, So then everybody, all the other passengers, like just around us, kind of turn around and start looking at me. [00:05:34] And I'm thinking, This is, this is really weird. [00:05:37] It's crazy. [00:05:37] Yeah. [00:05:38] So I sit down. [00:05:39] He said, Yeah, man. [00:05:40] Hey, yeah. [00:05:41] So you're, You were there with, I've seen you with Danny and with the other guy, Hat Rack. [00:05:46] And I went, I started laughing and I said, no, he didn't, yeah, I know. [00:05:51] He goes, oh, wait. [00:05:52] He didn't say Hat Rack right away. [00:05:53] He said, and Danny's little buddy. [00:05:56] Oh, my little buddy. [00:05:58] And I realize now what he's talking about. [00:06:00] He was his little buddy. [00:06:00] And I go, who's that? [00:06:01] He goes, his little buddy. [00:06:03] He's got glasses. [00:06:04] Like he wears glasses. [00:06:05] And I went, he's little? [00:06:08] And he goes, yeah, yeah. [00:06:08] And I went, well, there's another guy, Hat Rack. [00:06:11] He goes, yeah, Hat Rack. [00:06:12] And I went, No, no, hat rack's not little. [00:06:13] He's like six foot six or there's like six five or something six four. [00:06:16] So he's huge six three six three. [00:06:18] I said, he's huge like that. [00:06:20] And he looked at me as nah, bro, this guy's short. [00:06:21] This guy's short. [00:06:22] And I went, nah, man. [00:06:24] I said, he is nah. [00:06:25] He goes, he's shorter than you. [00:06:26] He goes, he was about your height. [00:06:27] And I went, no, it's just bad posture. [00:06:30] Yeah, I said, no, no, he goes, nah. [00:06:32] I said, a little bit. [00:06:33] And I hold on, I go, look, Danny's even tall. [00:06:35] Danny's like five ten. [00:06:36] So I pull out my phone and I show him you and he goes, yeah, that's him. [00:06:39] He goes, he's tall. [00:06:40] I go, yeah. [00:06:41] And he said, oh, man, I, I. [00:06:44] Yeah, I didn't realize he was so tall. [00:06:45] He's a little buddy. [00:06:46] Even right now, you're like way down. [00:06:49] Yeah, you want to know why? [00:06:50] Because I got the fucking church's thrift store chair. [00:06:54] You guys got $200 chairs. [00:06:57] I get this thrift store chair that's six inches lower than everybody. [00:07:00] These are $900 chairs. [00:07:02] Well, get another one. [00:07:03] My chair costs $300. [00:07:04] There's one right there you can use if you want it. [00:07:06] Yeah, bro. [00:07:07] People think you're like a midget. [00:07:08] Yeah, he's got terrible posture. [00:07:10] Honestly, but if I sit in that, then I'm like up here. [00:07:12] Oh, this thing is adjustable. [00:07:14] Yeah, it goes up a little bit. [00:07:15] I like that chair. [00:07:15] It doesn't have any armrests. [00:07:17] Yeah. [00:07:18] That's funny. [00:07:18] The chairs are muffed. [00:07:19] So, yeah. [00:07:20] Okay, little buddy. [00:07:21] So that happened. [00:07:22] Little buddy. [00:07:22] That's fucked up. [00:07:25] Yeah. [00:07:25] By the way, this is a great story. [00:07:28] I got to Ohio, to Columbus, and it's like 48 degrees. [00:07:33] And I brought one long sleeve shirt. [00:07:36] Like, it didn't even dawn on me. [00:07:39] No. [00:07:39] Been in Florida too long. [00:07:40] Yeah, I got off and I was like, oh. [00:07:42] Yeah, yeah. [00:07:44] What's happening? [00:07:45] Oh, I fucked up. [00:07:46] Yeah. [00:07:46] There's something about the cold weather. [00:07:47] It just, like, super, it gives you energy. [00:07:50] It gives you more energy. [00:07:51] Then, like, the slow, this like your blood's probably rushing to stay warm. [00:07:54] Yeah, your blood's what? [00:07:56] No, it makes your blood thicker, I guess, though, doesn't it? [00:07:58] Cold weather, I don't know. [00:08:00] I'm not sure, man. [00:08:01] Probably, yeah, I think your blood gets thicker. [00:08:03] Cold weather probably makes your blood thicker the hot humid weather probably makes your blood thinner That's a hell of an old some old wise Google that Aiden I bet you though But when I when I'm in cold weather like that I have more energy I feel like this the cold this like energizes me That's why I jump in my cold pool every morning I jump in my cold pool and then like I feel like I'm ready to roll cold fires me up for the day It's like yeah, like they chill it. [00:08:28] It's like 75 degrees like it's a cold pool. [00:08:33] Yeah, that's not cold the water temp is probably about 70 right now All right. === Cold Weather Blood Flow (13:35) === [00:08:38] Great story. [00:08:39] Great story. [00:08:40] I thought it was funny. [00:08:41] Did they pay you good? [00:08:44] Listen, bro. [00:08:45] We'll talk about money. [00:08:47] I'm not asking you the dollar amount. [00:08:48] I'm just asking you the money. [00:08:49] Did they pay me good? [00:08:50] I mean, they. [00:08:51] Not enough. [00:08:51] It's never enough, right? [00:08:52] It's never enough. [00:08:53] It's never enough. [00:08:53] It's okay. [00:08:54] They do all right. [00:08:55] Yeah. [00:08:55] They do all right. [00:08:56] You know? [00:08:57] So, yeah, I'm supposed to go November 3rd. [00:09:01] I'm supposed to go to. [00:09:03] Where am I supposed to go? [00:09:04] Oh, I'm supposed to go to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and shoot another commercial for Home Title Lock. [00:09:09] Really? [00:09:10] You're like the face of home title lock. [00:09:12] I don't know what's happening. [00:09:13] I mean, they are they a big company? [00:09:15] They're they're yeah, I think they're are they the biggest one or the second biggest monitoring service for title? [00:09:23] It's yeah, it's it's big. [00:09:26] That's incredible. [00:09:27] Shane had an idea for you the other day. [00:09:29] Uh, title your podcast, yeah, the fraud. [00:09:32] You should call it the Matt Cox fraudcast. [00:09:35] Look, that's a great idea. [00:09:36] It's it's it's it's catchy. [00:09:38] I thought it was pretty good. [00:09:40] I mean, if it was all fraud, but it's not like I interview other people, yeah, but you are. [00:09:45] Fraud, yeah, you're the fraud man. [00:09:47] That's what you're known for. [00:09:48] Like, you bring in the audience, you know what I mean? [00:09:50] People come for you, and you're like it's the Joe Rogan podcast, right? [00:09:56] You're America's favorite fraudster. [00:09:57] You could be the next Joe Rogan. [00:09:59] You're what's wrong with you? [00:10:02] What are you doing? [00:10:03] What do you mean? [00:10:03] Yes, I'm not gonna be the next Joe Rogan. [00:10:05] Now, who believes that? [00:10:07] Now, Danny believes it. [00:10:10] I'm the Joe Rogan of Florida, yeah, that's true. [00:10:12] I'll bet you people have said that, yeah, there are multiple comments that say that, yeah, yeah. [00:10:19] I'm just leaning into it. [00:10:20] Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:10:22] So, yeah. [00:10:25] Anyways, great podcast. [00:10:28] Thanks for the coffee. [00:10:29] Thanks for tuning in, everyone. [00:10:31] So, I'm thinking, so here's what I'm actually thinking I'm doing. [00:10:36] I've already started the channel. [00:10:38] I'm going to do it. [00:10:39] You want to talk about that? [00:10:40] What? [00:10:41] The channel? [00:10:42] I'm going to start. [00:10:43] So, I like Soft White Underbelly. [00:10:46] Oh, Mark Leda. [00:10:47] Yeah. [00:10:48] Yeah, he's got a sick channel. [00:10:49] Right. [00:10:49] I like his channel. [00:10:50] But he has an issue with monetizing. [00:10:52] Yeah, because he interviews drug addicts, hookers, gang members, pimps. [00:10:57] Yeah, so you end up with fraudsters. [00:11:01] Anybody want one of these? [00:11:03] No. [00:11:05] You end up with these people talking about heroin and shooting up. [00:11:09] And they don't pay you off that? [00:11:11] Well, even if he's monetized, but how much monetization are they going to give him? [00:11:15] Like $1, like a dollar? [00:11:17] What's his RPM going to be? [00:11:18] $1, $1.50? [00:11:20] He's saying it's almost nothing. [00:11:23] He says that. [00:11:24] Why? [00:11:24] Because of the content? [00:11:26] Yeah. [00:11:26] Yeah. [00:11:26] They censor it. [00:11:27] Or they demonetize it. [00:11:28] Right. [00:11:29] Because McDonald's doesn't want to run their commercial on a heroin addict prostitute who's now homeless. [00:11:37] Right. [00:11:38] Why? [00:11:39] It's a bad look. [00:11:40] Because it's not, it doesn't, to them. [00:11:41] They probably love McDonald's. [00:11:43] They probably do. [00:11:43] I shouldn't say McDonald's. [00:11:44] They're more like McDonald's than most people. [00:11:46] And that was my fault for using McDonald's. [00:11:47] All right. [00:11:48] That was my fault. [00:11:48] So let's say Ford Motor Car. [00:11:50] I thought that was a good place for McDonald's. [00:11:51] Let's say Ford Motor Car. [00:11:53] Okay. [00:11:53] Or Ford Motor. [00:11:54] Okay. [00:11:54] So Ford Motor or Tesla or whatever. [00:11:56] Somebody who's like, Yeah, I get it. [00:11:58] I get it, I guess. [00:12:00] But I talked to him and he said that he's like, Yeah, but like if I put up like a prostitute or a pretty girl or something like that, he said those videos take off also. [00:12:09] But he still, his channel overall, it's not really monetized well. [00:12:14] So I remember thinking, Well, why don't you stop interviewing all these homeless people? [00:12:18] But he's like, No, they have a story to be told and it's important. [00:12:20] And so he's more on a mission. [00:12:22] And I get that, you know, because you know what I'm saying? [00:12:24] Like you need those guys. [00:12:26] He's an artist. [00:12:26] It's an art project. [00:12:27] Absolutely. [00:12:28] He's passionate about it. [00:12:29] Like I'm not going to do it. [00:12:31] But if that's what you want to do, you know, and I think that's important. [00:12:34] I think that's great and it's great and he's doing it and perfect. [00:12:37] So what I thought about, but I like the setup, the person's on the stool, the backdrop. [00:12:42] It's very simplistic. [00:12:43] You take some photographs of them. [00:12:45] The photographs come and go throughout the whole thing. [00:12:48] And it's just them talking. [00:12:49] Like you have to just kind of prompt them every once in a while to tell their story. [00:12:51] And he doesn't make them go long. [00:12:53] Like he doesn't like, he doesn't dig in. [00:12:55] Like some girl will get, or somebody will get on and talk for 15 minutes. [00:12:58] Somebody else will talk for two hours. [00:12:59] So, you know, anyway. [00:13:02] So I thought that would be great if you just use like dancers. [00:13:08] So strippers, strippers. [00:13:10] Yeah, strippers, dancers. [00:13:11] I don't want to say strippers. [00:13:13] Well, I'm just trying to make sure I know what type of dancers. [00:13:15] Yeah, yeah. [00:13:15] Exotic, exotic dancers. [00:13:17] Okay, yeah, yeah. [00:13:18] Strippers, right? [00:13:18] You can call them strippers. [00:13:19] No, okay. [00:13:20] So strippers, whatever. [00:13:20] So if you were to go and do that and have the girl come, she works at Mons Venus or she works at, is Mons Venus still around? [00:13:28] Oh, yeah. [00:13:28] Oh, yeah. [00:13:29] Okay. [00:13:29] So, well, 2001's like gone, right? [00:13:31] No, it's still there. [00:13:32] It's still popping. [00:13:33] Wow. [00:13:34] All right. [00:13:34] So Scarlett's or the dollhouse or whatever these things. [00:13:37] You have the girl come in, she sits down. [00:13:39] 24 carat. [00:13:40] It's a good one. [00:13:41] I'm not sure if they're there anymore. [00:13:43] Whatever. [00:13:44] Whatever. [00:13:45] The strip clubs on US 19 are the best. [00:13:49] I don't know what that is. [00:13:50] Dirty is the best. [00:13:51] Are they? [00:13:51] Yeah. [00:13:54] Yeah. [00:13:54] So you have the girl come in, she sits down, she talks for 20 minutes. [00:13:56] Maybe she comes in in blue jeans and a t shirt, she talks for 10 minutes. [00:14:00] Whatever. [00:14:00] That's it. [00:14:01] That's her whole story. [00:14:02] She leaves. [00:14:02] Maybe another girl comes in, she's completely dolled up and she talks for two hours and. [00:14:06] And it's an absolute heartbreaker. [00:14:08] And she's telling about tragedies and whatever. [00:14:11] But I dated a chick for about almost five years. [00:14:15] And for three years, she stripped at Scarlett's. [00:14:20] And this is a cliche, but she was in college and she ended up getting a degree in finance while stripping at Scarlett's. [00:14:29] So she would come home and say, Man, listen, I met this chick today and this happened and this. [00:14:34] And she would just tell me these different stories. [00:14:36] I was like, Really? [00:14:36] And she's like, Yeah. [00:14:37] There was a girl that lived down here. [00:14:41] And flew to New York and would fly up there for three days, stay in her friend's spare room, fly back. [00:14:49] And she's like, she's making like a hundred and something thousand dollars a year. [00:14:52] She can't live in New York for that, but she can live like a king down here. [00:14:55] And that was like 20 years ago. [00:14:58] So, you know, she would tell me about these girls. [00:15:01] And I thought, you know, that would be a good subject matter. [00:15:03] And nobody's doing that. [00:15:05] And if you did it well and it was artistic and you weren't like a complete, you know, scumbag about the whole thing, then. [00:15:12] You know, I think that that's a channel that might take off. [00:15:14] So I started a channel. [00:15:16] I need to get it monetized. [00:15:17] I need a thousand subscribers. [00:15:19] Oh, here we go. [00:15:22] I need a thousand subscribers. [00:15:23] Is he flipping the thing? [00:15:24] No, no, it's on you. [00:15:24] Trust me. [00:15:25] Okay. [00:15:25] So I need a thousand subscribers. [00:15:28] And in about a couple of weeks from now, I'm going to start interviewing the girls. [00:15:33] But I need, if anybody out there knows any girls that are dancers that would be interested in telling their story, much like kind of like Soft White Underbelly, only it's a bad. [00:15:43] You know, it's a bad example because if you go there, you're watching drug addicts. [00:15:47] But it's the same basic setup. [00:15:48] I mean, I can't do the exact same setup. [00:15:50] I mean, Mark's amazing. [00:15:51] Strippers and porn stars are some of the most interesting people in the world that I've ever met. [00:15:56] They got stories. [00:15:57] Stories, but they usually come from nothing. [00:16:01] You know what I mean? [00:16:02] They come from broken homes with abuse and that kind of stuff. [00:16:05] So they have to figure their way out of a hole. [00:16:09] So those people seem to have, I mean, in my experience, those girls seem to have the most character, the most interesting stories, and they seem to be overall more interesting. [00:16:19] Bro, they've been through some shit. [00:16:21] That's the whole thing. [00:16:22] The coolest people. [00:16:23] Listen, the guy that was born into an upper middle class family. [00:16:30] Played on the T-ball league and softball and ended up graduating high school and married his college sweetheart and graduated and went to work as a CPA and had 2.2 kids. [00:16:45] And that guy is not that interesting. [00:16:48] No offense. [00:16:48] But the guy who came from nothing and went through hell and ended up going to jail and ended up getting whatever, a couple DUIs and he's had two wives and he's had. [00:16:57] That guy's got a story. [00:17:00] The people that have been through. [00:17:01] Hell and back. [00:17:02] Those are the guys that have great stories. [00:17:05] Or girls. [00:17:07] Or women. [00:17:09] Or I'm sorry, or women. [00:17:10] I was just thinking, can you play this? [00:17:11] Like you can play this and you're not going to get a copyright thing? [00:17:14] We're not showing the TV. [00:17:16] But yeah, we will get a copyright if he shows that TV, but we're not going to show that TV. [00:17:19] We're showing you. [00:17:21] Okay. [00:17:22] So yeah, so I think those chicks, look, listen, some of those girls are going to be like, look, I was born middle class and everything went well and I had a friend that talked me into doing this and I make great money and I'm saving the money and I'm banking and that's it. [00:17:33] So that's fine. [00:17:34] Another girl's going to be like, listen. [00:17:35] When I was 13 years old, my mother, who's a heroin addict, her boyfriend started molesting me. [00:17:41] And after 17, when I turned 17, I left the house and I went, you know, they're going to have like, you know, I joined the military and I dropped after two years I got out. [00:17:50] And I, like, they're going to, those chicks are going to be like, that's amazing. [00:17:53] Like, it's just amazing. [00:17:54] Yeah. [00:17:55] Anyway, I think that'd be a super cool channel. [00:17:57] And I think if you just did that, and here's what I think too. [00:18:00] I think, here's my idea. [00:18:03] They come in, they do whatever, 45 minutes, they tell their story. [00:18:06] Okay. [00:18:07] They leave. [00:18:07] You put the whole thing together. [00:18:08] I'm going to photograph them a bunch of times. [00:18:10] Just like Mark? [00:18:11] Just like Mark. [00:18:12] Oh, listen, I'm a total ripoff. [00:18:14] You should paint them instead of photograph them. [00:18:16] You should paint them like that. [00:18:17] Yeah, that's what I need more work. [00:18:17] Like the rose and the tattoo. [00:18:19] I should paint them. [00:18:20] Yeah, because I can whip out a painting in like 20 minutes. [00:18:22] Like, that's no big deal. [00:18:23] So, anyway, back to reality. [00:18:24] I'm going to take some photos. [00:18:25] You know, like the people do the caricatures at the fair? [00:18:27] I'm going to put together the whole thing, right? [00:18:29] Put together the whole thing. [00:18:30] Once it's done and you're ready and it's uploaded, I'm going to take a QR code, put it on like 500 business cards with the girl's name. [00:18:42] and give it to the chick so she can pass it out. [00:18:46] It's a barcode. [00:18:46] So she's got 500 of them. [00:18:47] She can give them to a client. [00:18:48] She can give them to whoever she wants. [00:18:49] You can go and see my bio. [00:18:52] Plus, the other thing is in the description, I'll put any social links that they want. [00:18:55] They're OnlyFans? [00:18:56] Yeah, they're OnlyFans, their Instagram, their Facebook, whatever they want. [00:19:00] So that, to me, could lead to something for them. [00:19:04] So there's a huge benefit for them. [00:19:06] Sorry, go ahead. [00:19:07] I just met this chick the other day. [00:19:08] She's 24 years old. [00:19:10] Does your mom know that? [00:19:11] I mean, does your wife know this? [00:19:12] Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:19:13] She's dating a friend of mine. [00:19:14] She's 24 years old. [00:19:18] She's dating a friend of mine. [00:19:22] When you do it, when I do it, it's upsetting. [00:19:25] Wait, what? [00:19:26] And when I interrupt you, it's upsetting. [00:19:28] Oh, no, I'm not upset. [00:19:29] You're supposed to interrupt. [00:19:30] I'm not allowed to interrupt. [00:19:32] But she's 23. [00:19:33] She's got an OnlyFans. [00:19:34] She's 24. [00:19:35] No, that's what I meant. [00:19:36] 24. [00:19:36] Same thing. [00:19:37] She's got an OnlyFans. [00:19:38] She's got this other thing set up where people can call her and talk to her and she has phone sex with them. [00:19:45] But it's not really her. [00:19:46] There's a call center in Mexico where these bitches sit there and they pretend to be her and they take a cut, take a fee. [00:19:53] And a fat Mexican chick. [00:19:54] Yeah, right. [00:19:56] She's like, hey, baby. [00:19:58] Hey, baby. [00:19:59] It's me, Gloria. [00:20:01] And she's making like $60,000 a month. [00:20:04] Oh, my God. [00:20:05] You need to have her on your thing. [00:20:06] I know. [00:20:07] You got to have her. [00:20:08] Right? [00:20:09] Yeah, nice. [00:20:10] 24 years old. [00:20:11] Fucking insane. [00:20:13] That's nuts. [00:20:15] Unreal. [00:20:16] But yeah, there's a thing about those girls, like strippers or especially porn stars, too, because they come from those really shitty places, right? [00:20:26] Where they're in a spot where they're really young. [00:20:29] And they need to figure out, figure, find a way out. [00:20:31] Yeah. [00:20:32] So when you're that young, when you're a kid, and especially if you're a female and you're young and you don't have a lot of choice, you're attractive, what's the most obvious way to make money? [00:20:44] Prostitution, stripping, porn? [00:20:48] Like sex is the most obvious way, especially if you can sell your body. [00:20:52] The most obvious way is like a job at McDonald's. [00:20:55] But that's not real money. [00:20:56] Right. [00:20:57] I was going to say, but let's face it. [00:20:58] The financial way. [00:20:59] Right. [00:20:59] But no, but let's face it. [00:21:00] You're not going to go get a job at McDonald's and be able to pay your bills. [00:21:03] So, people are like, oh, she could get a real job. [00:21:06] She's 17 or 18 years old. [00:21:09] Maybe she has a high school diploma. [00:21:11] Maybe she doesn't. [00:21:12] She's going to get a job working at either fast food or in retail. [00:21:16] The fact is, you cannot survive on that. [00:21:18] No. [00:21:19] So, what is her second option, of course, is. [00:21:22] Yeah. [00:21:22] If you're living with some abusive uncle and you need to get out, you need to find a place to rent, you need to get your own car, you do all this stuff. [00:21:28] The most obvious thing, if I'm a young, whatever, in my late teens or early 20s girl who's. [00:21:33] In that situation, I'm gonna go be a stripper or I'm gonna go do porn. [00:21:36] I mean, those girls are the ones, and a lot of those girls make a shitload of money doing that. [00:21:41] A lot of them get fucking they turn into like social media celebrities, like that girl Lana Rhodes, she's a fucking worth tens of millions of dollars. [00:21:47] A lot of them end up crashing too, you know what I'm saying? [00:21:49] Like, like, what, like, they don't know how to manage the money, they end up getting with some guy who basically takes advantage of them, they don't know how to invest the money, they work for 10 years, they still have nothing, they don't understand why they're making $70,000 a year, and they don't understand. [00:22:02] I have no money, my bills are always late. [00:22:04] My, well, your boyfriend doesn't have a job, you know, you're. [00:22:07] He's blowing all your money. [00:22:08] You're on hooked on drugs. [00:22:09] Like, where's my money going? [00:22:10] Well, you know, they don't understand. [00:22:12] So I get it. === Social Media Money Makers (14:57) === [00:22:13] You know what's disappointing about this whole conversation? [00:22:16] I really, really was talking to a buddy of mine. [00:22:20] And I said, Yeah, I'm going to go. [00:22:22] I'm going to pitch the idea to Danny and Hat Rack. [00:22:26] And I said, I'm telling you right now, I said, they're going to be total jerks about it. [00:22:30] Like, they're going to be just, they're going to be like, either that's stupid or they're going to say, Who wants, nobody wants to this or that or, oh, you, oh, yeah. [00:22:39] They're going to be all like, Weirdos, why does that upset you? [00:22:42] I, it, why is it upset? [00:22:44] It upsets me because that's what I was expecting. [00:22:46] Like, this isn't what I expected. [00:22:47] I expected you to be more of a jerk about it. [00:22:49] Why would I be a jerk about it? [00:22:50] I don't know. [00:22:50] You typically are. [00:22:52] It's just, I just assume you'll usually have some kind of a childish, you know, 14 year old response to something like this, and instead you're actually being mature about it. [00:22:59] It's just an idea that now I'm questioning it. [00:23:04] So, yeah, no, I think it's a good idea. [00:23:07] I like it. [00:23:07] Yeah, you gotta paint it right. [00:23:08] That's all. [00:23:09] I got it. [00:23:09] I already named it. [00:23:10] I already got the channel. [00:23:11] What's it called? [00:23:12] It's called. [00:23:13] Pink Crush. [00:23:14] Pink Crush. [00:23:15] And I put a little video up. [00:23:16] I put a video up. [00:23:18] Do you already know a logo? [00:23:19] I can get Luke to make you a logo. [00:23:20] No, you can't. [00:23:22] So wrong. [00:23:24] Have you talked to Luke? [00:23:25] I haven't talked to Luke ever since that day. [00:23:27] I haven't even talked about it on this podcast at all either. [00:23:29] That is so upsetting. [00:23:31] I know. [00:23:31] It's sad. [00:23:31] Aiden was here. [00:23:32] That was the last time Aiden ran the switcher. [00:23:36] Aiden was sitting right there when that whole thing went down. [00:23:38] This is going to be a much, much less interesting podcast. [00:23:41] Let's put it that way. [00:23:42] So. [00:23:44] Yeah, I do. [00:23:45] I got the channel and I put up a little video. [00:23:48] I'm going to reshoot it tomorrow because it's really kind of cruddy. [00:23:50] Matter of fact, I just made the channel today and it's called Pink Crush and I use the little the symbol for the female symbol Yeah, when it's pink. [00:23:59] Well, it's black on a pink background. [00:24:00] Is it pink on a black background? [00:24:02] I don't know, but you know, I did it and like you can go there But when I punch in YouTube punch it into YouTube, it wouldn't are you on TikTok yet? [00:24:10] You need like a neon light sign logo or something like all this is actually kind of see yeah, I'm not like I'm trying to like a strip club sign Pink Crush. [00:24:21] Yeah, it does come up. [00:24:22] It doesn't come up. [00:24:23] That's because it's a brand new channel, though. [00:24:25] They don't show up. [00:24:25] They don't start propagating in search until you have the channel for, like, at least a month, right? [00:24:29] Are you serious? [00:24:30] I'm pretty sure. [00:24:31] Oh, that sucks. [00:24:32] Because, I mean, I'm worried. [00:24:33] Well, they want to know that you're serious about your YouTube channel before they start, you know, giving you the search. [00:24:37] But I punched in the exact name. [00:24:39] It doesn't matter. [00:24:39] Sometimes you know as well as I do. [00:24:42] We've had episodes that we've done, and you can search for the exact title of our podcast, and they don't even show up on YouTube. [00:24:49] Okay. [00:24:50] YouTube controls that shit. [00:24:51] Oh, I sent it to you, didn't I? [00:24:52] They got it locked. [00:24:53] They got it locked down tight. [00:24:55] Matt Carr, bro. [00:24:55] I sent this to you. [00:24:56] Look at Kyler Murray. [00:24:59] That's a little guy. [00:25:01] Kyler Murray. [00:25:01] He's like your height. [00:25:02] He's like your height. [00:25:03] No, he's probably taller than you. [00:25:05] No, that's not possible. [00:25:06] Okay, so, yeah, I got my little channel. [00:25:08] I got my thing right here. [00:25:10] There, that's it. [00:25:10] Let me see it. [00:25:11] Let me see it. [00:25:11] Pink Crush. [00:25:11] Let me see it. [00:25:14] There. [00:25:14] I mean, I'm going to redo it. [00:25:15] Somebody just proposed me a trade. [00:25:18] Pink Crush. [00:25:20] Pink Crush? [00:25:21] Yeah, I got to redo that. [00:25:25] Pink Crush, and I think we're to still spell TikTok. [00:25:29] Yeah, I didn't spell it with a K by the way. [00:25:32] It's not spell it. [00:25:33] Look at that nice podcast studio you got. [00:25:37] It's an illusion. [00:25:40] It's what? [00:25:40] It's an illusion. [00:25:41] It's not that nice. [00:25:42] I don't know if they'll just be from Florida or around the country. [00:25:45] Let me see. [00:25:45] Like one inch. [00:25:46] I think I like the, you know, to add on to your niche, not only would it be strippers, but it's cool that it's Florida strippers. [00:25:54] Yeah. [00:25:55] And I said that. [00:25:56] I said they may be from around the world. [00:25:57] I mean, they may be from around the world. [00:25:59] Give me a break. [00:26:00] Maybe from around the country, but. [00:26:01] Yeah, they might be from around the world. [00:26:04] I mean, we'll see who comes. [00:26:05] Yeah. [00:26:06] I mean, you go to the club, there's a lot of women definitely ain't from here. [00:26:10] Yeah. [00:26:11] Are you big on TikTok? [00:26:13] You use TikTok a lot? [00:26:14] No. [00:26:14] My friend Wally Green called me today, and I tried posting something on TikTok, and he called me. [00:26:18] He's like, bro, you're doing it all wrong. [00:26:20] He showed me the right way to do it. [00:26:21] He's like, because he does. [00:26:24] Wally Green, he's the ping pong player who's played in tournaments all over the world, has been in North Korea playing ping pong tournaments in North Korea. [00:26:33] Fucking China, Australia, Germany, everywhere. [00:26:36] And he lives in New York City now and he makes ping pong videos on TikTok. [00:26:40] And he blows up on there. [00:26:41] He's blowing up. [00:26:43] And he was telling me all the little tips and tricks to make your TikTok blow up. [00:26:47] I mean, I have a TikTok, but it doesn't do anything. [00:26:51] We put up little snippets. [00:26:53] There's that recent leak of all those Facebook documents. [00:26:56] That girl that was a whistleblower for Facebook. [00:26:59] In one of those documents that she leaked, Facebook. [00:27:03] They showed a study on there comparing Instagram, which Facebook owns, to TikTok. [00:27:09] And it showed that Facebook's, not Instagram, but Facebook's user base is like a large majority of boomers. [00:27:20] And it's like dwindling in the younger demographic year by year by year. [00:27:24] And Instagram is starting to make that same trend. [00:27:29] And Facebook's own study showed that TikTok, people on TikTok, What was it? [00:27:36] What did it say? [00:27:37] It said that TikTok has two to three times more teenagers and people in their early 20s than Instagram. [00:27:44] And Instagram is like, Instagram's audience is aging up a lot faster. [00:27:48] And people in their teenage years and their early 20s spend two to three times more time on TikTok versus Instagram, which is pretty crazy. [00:27:58] I can see that. [00:27:58] Yeah, I can see that. [00:28:00] It's more interactive. [00:28:01] There's more stuff to look at. [00:28:03] It's fun. [00:28:03] But the thing is, is that it's not, as far as creating kind of like a personal account, you know? [00:28:08] Yeah. [00:28:09] It's not really that. [00:28:10] No, it's not like Instagram. [00:28:11] It's not like you can post pictures and you can post pictures and little things like that. [00:28:15] So I can't imagine that. [00:28:16] Once you start to like, like, Like, mess around and scroll through TikTok a couple times, Instagram just seems so much more boring compared to it. [00:28:24] I mean, yeah, I see what you're saying, but still, there's a personal appeal to Instagram and Facebook. [00:28:32] Really? [00:28:33] Like, I don't get it. [00:28:33] I can't really appeal to Facebook. [00:28:35] I can't really. [00:28:35] You can post pictures and you can post post posts. [00:28:38] Yeah, you can talk and you say profile. [00:28:40] And they, you know. [00:28:41] TikTok, you just go on there, do your little thing. [00:28:43] Yeah, you do your little funny things. [00:28:45] I see all of them. [00:28:46] All my shit on TikTok is like crazy golf. [00:28:49] Tricks and tips, and I mean I guess it depends on what your interest is. [00:28:53] See, like I never get anything like that. [00:28:54] No, all I get is they. [00:28:56] They serve you what you already like. [00:28:57] Of course I've got Joe. [00:28:58] I get lots of jokes and funny things and I get. [00:29:01] I get some conspiracy theory stuff, but only because I'll get them and then I'll shoot them to people that I know like and so they're like, oh, he shares this stuff, he must love it. [00:29:11] I really don't love it, but I know all these crackpots that love it. [00:29:14] Oh, this will get them going boom. [00:29:16] Did you see that bro? [00:29:17] Oh, that's crazy man. [00:29:18] Did I tell you about it? [00:29:19] Oh okay, I'll just listen. [00:29:20] This guy's insane Bro, there was, I just saw it today. [00:29:25] They're, because TikTok is owned. [00:29:28] The company that owns TikTok, I forget what the fuck it's called. [00:29:32] It's called like ByteDance, BitDance or something. [00:29:35] It's this company that's owned by China. [00:29:38] It's a CCP company that owns TikTok. [00:29:42] And that guy, Ted Cruz, was like grilling the spokesperson for TikTok under oath just the other day. [00:29:53] And he's like, Under your privacy policy, it says that the privacy of the users on TikTok is subject to TikTok XYZ and TikTok subsidiaries and other or something like that. [00:30:12] And he's like, so does this other include the Beijing-owned company called whatever that owns TikTok? [00:30:20] The guy wouldn't answer it. [00:30:22] He's like, it's a yes or no question. [00:30:24] Is other considering. [00:30:28] Yeah, but I agree. [00:30:38] I better go back to China and. [00:30:45] If you can find. [00:30:49] Aiden, try to find that video. [00:30:53] You guys don't want to snitch on that. [00:30:58] I tried, I think it's like BitDance or something, but it's a company based in the US, but they are partial, like one of their investors is like the CCP owns a percentage of that company. [00:31:14] Like all companies in China. [00:31:16] Like all, most big companies in China. [00:31:17] Yeah, I was making a comment about technical or tech companies and manufacturing companies, the Chinese government owns a portion of it. [00:31:24] Right, right. [00:31:26] I had this conversation with, an argument with him earlier this week. [00:31:28] He's like, Why is everyone hating on China? [00:31:31] He didn't understand why everyone's hating on China. [00:31:32] He's like, what's everyone hating on China for? [00:31:34] And I was explaining to him world domination. [00:31:37] They're not trying to just, hey, we're just going to hang out here and make some money and be okay and help our people. [00:31:43] They're thinking, no, we're going to eventually. [00:31:46] We're just coming for everybody. [00:31:47] Right. [00:31:48] I mean, I feel like America thinks they own the whole world. [00:31:52] No, yeah, but it's dwindling quickly. [00:31:54] And here's the thing. [00:31:55] Look, here's the problem with that is that China. [00:31:59] So I love it when there's people like, yeah, but we do this and we do that and we bully people and we this. [00:32:06] Yeah, I understand. [00:32:07] But you understand that if the balance shifts, people are not going to, like other countries are not going to be as kind to us as we've been to them. [00:32:17] Like, so, so we're not taking over your country. [00:32:20] We'd like to trade with you. [00:32:21] We'd like to do this. [00:32:21] We'd like you to be a democracy. [00:32:22] We'd like you to be an ally. [00:32:23] But the truth is, if you decide against it, well, then okay, that's fine. [00:32:28] Go away. [00:32:28] We'll just leave you alone. [00:32:30] But China doesn't want you to be like an ally. [00:32:33] China wants to take over. [00:32:35] You're now a part of the Chinese, of China. [00:32:38] You're now a part of the Communist Party. [00:32:40] Like, we're going to wipe everybody out. [00:32:41] And you, and so people are like, oh, that's not good. [00:32:44] No shit, it's not good. [00:32:45] Like, they're already wiping out their own people. [00:32:47] They got an entire section of, of, of, A whole entire sect of people that they're wiping out right now because they don't feel like they're ethnically Chinese enough. [00:32:55] So you tell me, how Chinese are you? [00:32:58] Are you Chinese enough? [00:33:00] No, no. [00:33:01] You know what they're doing right now in Africa? [00:33:05] Like in Africa, we give them loans to build things, right? [00:33:08] And then, of course, they can't pay for the loan. [00:33:10] Did you ever read Confessions of an Economic Hitman? [00:33:13] Oh, my God, bro. [00:33:15] It's so devious. [00:33:16] Really? [00:33:17] Oh, it's based on a, well, it's written from a guy. [00:33:21] Who actually says, like, he tried to write the book several times. [00:33:23] He had worked for a company that basically was a front, it was a company that was basically the CIA. [00:33:29] So, or the combination like CIA, State Department, where they would go in and they would offer these massive loans in like South America to build all these roads and a dam. [00:33:40] And they give these, they give like whoever, some country in South America, Peru or something. [00:33:45] And so they build this stuff. [00:33:46] And if they pilfer the loan and they can't build it, well, they still have to repay it. [00:33:51] Like, I don't care what you do with the money. [00:33:53] You know, we're going to hire you. [00:33:55] We'd like you to hire these companies, American companies, to build it. [00:33:57] And hopefully it gets built. [00:33:59] And hopefully you guys don't steal the money before we can build it. [00:34:02] But once it's built, you have to pay it back. [00:34:04] If you can't pay it back, well, then we have the option to come in and run this part of the dam and do this and do that. [00:34:11] And we get to take your UN vote. [00:34:13] Like, so now you have to vote our way in the UN. [00:34:16] There's all this manipulation. [00:34:17] And really, what we did was we gave you a loan that we really didn't think you were going to be able to pay back. [00:34:22] And when you couldn't, now we get your stuff. [00:34:24] That sounds familiar. [00:34:25] Right. [00:34:28] What? [00:34:30] That just sounds like typical bank shit. [00:34:33] I mean, okay. [00:34:34] Well, no, the banks want you to pay, bro. [00:34:35] The banks don't want your house. [00:34:36] But the point is that they're doing that. [00:34:38] So here's the thing. [00:34:40] So the problem is a lot of times, like in a lot of countries, we would give them loans and they couldn't pay it back. [00:34:45] And they really only lose very little. [00:34:48] Like they might lose their voting rights in NATO or whatever, you know, the UN or whatever. [00:34:53] But it's not like huge. [00:34:55] Well, China's coming in and China is saying like they're going to Africa right now. [00:34:59] And they are, they're. [00:35:01] They're building roads, but they're building the roads. [00:35:05] So they're building the roads, they're building factories, they're building things in these other countries and having the Africans work them, but they still own everything. [00:35:16] So they're basically enslaving them in their own country because they don't want them in their country. [00:35:22] So we're going to build these factories, we're going to have you guys work them, and then we're going to reap the profits. [00:35:29] And you guys don't own anything. [00:35:30] And if you can't pay or whatever the problem is, then we can always come in and take things over. [00:35:35] They're giving themselves. [00:35:37] They're turning these countries into, you know, satellite. [00:35:42] Not even satellite countries. [00:35:44] You can't even say it. [00:35:45] Yeah. [00:35:46] Yeah. [00:35:46] You go to Africa. [00:35:47] There's tons of Chinese in Africa right now. [00:35:49] Are they loaning the money to Africa to build this? [00:35:52] No, they're building it themselves. [00:35:53] We would loan them the money. [00:35:54] They're going in and give them a loan that they couldn't pay. [00:35:57] The Chinese are going in and they're building everything and then hiring all the Africans. [00:36:00] So we're going to raise your economy up a little bit. [00:36:03] Okay. [00:36:04] But look, you see how they treat their own people. [00:36:06] How do they treat their own people? [00:36:08] Explain to him. [00:36:09] Like your cell phone right now. [00:36:11] You understand if you work like a good job in China right now? [00:36:15] First of all, there used to be no middle class, but they actually have a growing middle class. [00:36:19] But right now, if you work, and let's say you work for Apple in China, Foxconn. [00:36:24] Okay, Foxconn. [00:36:25] So here's what they do you work there, so you're working 40 to 60 hours a week, and it's in the middle of nowhere. [00:36:32] There's nowhere to live. [00:36:33] So you can live in one of our buildings, it costs this much money. [00:36:36] You can have a cell phone, it costs this much money. [00:36:38] You can get on the food plant, it's this much money. [00:36:40] By the time they're done, these people are basically making, after they pay all their bills, they might have a few dollars left over, like they're trapped. [00:36:49] It was so bad. [00:36:50] The depression was so bad in these buildings. [00:36:54] Suicide. [00:36:54] People were jumping out of the buildings. [00:36:56] And so, Apple, when there was pressure put on Apple because there were all these articles saying, Are you happy with your cell phone? [00:37:04] Because Chinese people are jumping out of buildings because they're working 50, 60, 70 hours a week and you're taking all their money. [00:37:10] It's a complete trap. === Foxconn Worker Conditions (09:07) === [00:37:11] And this is their own people. [00:37:14] And Apple said, Look, you have to fix this. [00:37:16] Do you know what they did to fix it? [00:37:19] You're right. [00:37:19] We do. [00:37:21] We're going to lock the windows. [00:37:22] And if they knock them out, we're putting nets. [00:37:25] They put nets at the end. [00:37:27] So if they do jump, they'll hit the net. [00:37:30] Maybe just pay them a little bit more. [00:37:32] Is that an option? [00:37:33] They're like, oh, that's crazy. [00:37:34] Wait a minute. [00:37:35] No, And that's more affordable. [00:37:39] So I'm saying, what are they going to do? [00:37:40] This is their own people. [00:37:41] What are they going to do? [00:37:43] And listen, they're going to want to take Taiwan back. [00:37:46] They're already trying to do that. [00:37:47] They're already making these little fake islands. [00:37:50] So, they're making little fake islands off the coast of China so that they can expand the China's, like, what's their property? [00:37:58] They're going to try and take, they want Taiwan, but they've already said that. [00:38:01] We want Taiwan back. [00:38:01] They're taking Taiwan over. [00:38:02] Yeah, we're going to take this back. [00:38:04] What was the latest, at some point? [00:38:06] What was the last jurisdiction they took over? [00:38:08] What was the, oh, it was, was it? [00:38:10] The NBA player was talking about it. [00:38:12] The guy for the Celtics. [00:38:14] I forget what, I forget. [00:38:16] What are we, wait, wait, what was the question? [00:38:18] Man, I can't believe it. [00:38:19] They keep taking more and more territory. [00:38:21] Like they keep claiming North Korea. [00:38:23] Right, but nobody does anything. [00:38:24] How come they can't take North Korea? [00:38:27] They work with North Korea. [00:38:28] They don't want North Korea. [00:38:31] There's a ton of people there. [00:38:33] So basically they'd have to come in and feed. [00:38:35] That's like us invading North Korea. [00:38:36] Why don't we invade North Korea? [00:38:37] First of all. [00:38:38] Because they have China. [00:38:39] Well, of course. [00:38:40] One, they have China. [00:38:40] But the second problem is this. [00:38:41] Now we have to feed all these people. [00:38:42] Like they're starving to death right now. [00:38:44] Right. [00:38:45] We come in. [00:38:45] It's a logistical nightmare to have to feed all these people in an economy that can't pay for their own food. [00:38:52] So we don't want that problem. [00:38:54] China doesn't want the problem. [00:38:55] Why wasn't China? [00:38:56] China could go in there in a weekend and take over the whole country. [00:39:00] They're like, these people, the average height down there's like five foot one. [00:39:04] They have no nutrition. [00:39:05] I'm like a giant in China. [00:39:08] I'm like six foot two in China. [00:39:09] I could be pushing everybody around. [00:39:11] But yeah, it's horrible. [00:39:13] I mean, sorry, in China, in North Korea, it's horrible. [00:39:17] It's horrible. [00:39:18] Did you see the one soldier? [00:39:20] This was a couple of years ago. [00:39:21] He escaped. [00:39:22] He got through the demilitarized zone. [00:39:26] He actually got into South Korea. [00:39:28] He had, they were like, listen, this guy had like six different tapeworms inside of him. [00:39:34] He had all, they said malnutrition. [00:39:38] I mean, he was just falling apart. [00:39:40] This is a soldier. [00:39:42] And he was explaining, he's like, look, there's no food. [00:39:44] Like, we're barely being fed. [00:39:46] And they chased him down. [00:39:47] They tried to kill him on their way there. [00:39:49] They're shooting at him, everything. [00:39:51] You want to know what's fucking crazy? [00:39:52] I just found out the other day when I Googled it, when me and him were arguing about, he was trying to argue with me about China. [00:39:56] He's saying in China, no, there's nothing wrong with China. [00:39:58] And I was trying to explain to him all this stuff. [00:40:00] I was like, I looked it up. [00:40:01] I said, what crimes are punishable by death in China? [00:40:05] Fucking fraud. [00:40:06] Oh, yeah, fraud. [00:40:07] Mortgage fraud. [00:40:08] No good, bro. [00:40:09] Death penalty. [00:40:10] Almost any type of fraud was death. [00:40:13] Yeah. [00:40:14] Yeah, it's bad. [00:40:15] Did you remember the thing where that guy, did they kill him or did he kill himself? [00:40:20] Where they had the dog food from China and they were putting some kind of bullshit filler in it. [00:40:24] That was like basically, it was like styrofoam or something in the dog food or something just to save a little few pennies. [00:40:31] And when they found out about it, the guy was like, I think he killed himself because it was fraud. [00:40:36] Like you're running a scam and you're making us look bad. [00:40:38] You're selling this to the Americans. [00:40:39] Now it's in all their papers. [00:40:41] They're going to stop buying all food products for all these different companies. [00:40:44] And of course, the Chinese government, you know, we own parts of those companies. [00:40:48] Like, all right, that's it. [00:40:49] You're dead. [00:40:49] You're a dead base. [00:40:50] So he just killed himself. [00:40:52] I think he killed himself, or I don't say he killed himself. [00:40:55] It was, listen, whatever it was, it was outrageous what happened to him as a result of it. [00:41:00] Like, I hear, like, they'd be like, eh, you can go to jail for 18 months. [00:41:05] You know, it was a bad issue. [00:41:07] Yeah, it's fine. [00:41:07] But China has, like, basically an economic stranglehold on the rest of the world. [00:41:11] Well, they've got a long term plan. [00:41:13] They're not thinking next quarter. [00:41:15] They're not thinking the next two or three quarters ahead. [00:41:17] They're thinking the next half a century. [00:41:19] Right. [00:41:20] You know, so how do you, and their entire thing is being run by one guy and a party that's designed for world domination. [00:41:30] You know, they're not saying, hey, let's all just be friends. [00:41:32] It's like, no, no, we're going to, they are, listen, they're going to take over South America. [00:41:36] They're already taking it over. [00:41:38] South America and Africa. [00:41:40] That's what's going to happen. [00:41:41] Which parts of South America are they taking over? [00:41:43] I mean, I don't know exactly what parts, but there's tons of them down there. [00:41:46] Really? [00:41:47] They're building roads, they're building factories, they're hiring people. [00:41:51] It's massive. [00:41:52] Wow. [00:41:53] And you know, in China, they have like the surveillance system where they're tracking all their citizens, like almost all the cities. [00:42:01] Like they are here. [00:42:02] Facial recognition. [00:42:02] Yeah, but this is they're tracking you everywhere you go. [00:42:05] And they're recording the things that they do. [00:42:07] They don't do that here? [00:42:08] No, I don't. [00:42:09] Let me tell you, it's so out there, it's so obvious. [00:42:11] They've come up with a social score. [00:42:15] Yeah, a social credit score. [00:42:16] Social credit score. [00:42:18] We're on that way. [00:42:19] We're heading in that direction, though, here. [00:42:20] If you were drunk in public. [00:42:22] Maybe they're just more open about it. [00:42:24] Well, maybe, but listen no matter how bad it is, it may or may not be here if it were to ever happen. [00:42:31] There, you've been caught littering twice. [00:42:35] There was a domestic charge. [00:42:36] You weren't charged, but there was a domestic call. [00:42:38] Your neighbors complained. [00:42:39] And one time you had a DUI four years ago. [00:42:42] And guess what? [00:42:43] You graduated high school, but very low in your class. [00:42:45] So you've got a very low social score. [00:42:48] So We're not going to allow you to use any of the trains or planes. [00:42:50] You can't leave the country and you can't leave the city and you can't live in certain areas. [00:42:54] Are you serious? [00:42:55] Like, yeah, yeah, that's it. [00:42:57] Yeah. [00:42:57] What are you talking about? [00:42:58] Like, I, I, I, the paper fell out of my pocket. [00:43:01] My wife, since she's bipolar, she's screaming and the neighbors called the cops. [00:43:05] Like, what are you talking? [00:43:06] How is it? [00:43:07] Yeah, no. [00:43:07] Let's just say I was drunk when I was driving. [00:43:09] Right. [00:43:10] I, I, I, did I do bad at high school? [00:43:12] No, but no offense. [00:43:12] I had no, no parents, no, no parental supervision and my teachers sucked and I have a learning disability. [00:43:18] How do I have a four on the social score? [00:43:21] Like, I mean, you know, it's unfair. [00:43:23] Like, there's just these things that are just ridiculous. [00:43:26] Listen, bro, my biggest fear would be China. [00:43:29] Luckily, by the time they probably start invading and taking over, I'll be dead. [00:43:33] But they probably won't invade forcefully, right? [00:43:36] No, right now they don't need to. [00:43:37] They don't have the Navy. [00:43:39] They don't have the ability to move their troops into like the the only one of the few countries in the world that has the ability to move a massive amount of their forces across the world is the United States. [00:43:51] Right. [00:43:52] Right. [00:43:52] Like China doesn't have that. [00:43:53] Right now, their concern is protecting our borders and we can expand our borders from where we're at. [00:44:00] Take over this country. [00:44:01] We'll take over this island. [00:44:02] Slow burn. [00:44:02] Slowly. [00:44:03] But at this point, they're spending more and more money every single year. [00:44:07] And I think it's something like in 10 years from now. they'll be spending the same amount of money we're spending on defense. [00:44:13] And their economy is massive. [00:44:15] Oh, yeah. [00:44:16] So at some point, it will overtake our economy. [00:44:19] When it overtakes our economy and they can outspend us, then they win. [00:44:23] Right. [00:44:24] You would think if you were in charge of a country, right? [00:44:29] For a second, hypothetically, forget about human rights, forget about the people of your country. [00:44:32] But if you treat your company, instead of it being your business, it's your country. [00:44:38] And you want to make it. [00:44:40] The dominant superpower of the world, they're doing it right. [00:44:43] Like they are the superpower. [00:44:45] Yeah, but they're also doing it at the expense of their own people. [00:44:47] Like you would think you would try and dump money or dump more resources or, you know, have an economic plan that helped elevate your own people. [00:44:56] I mean, a ton of people are just dirt poor in China. [00:44:58] Like grow your middle class. [00:45:00] You know, the United States in the 70s was like at our peak, our middle class was massive. [00:45:04] Like people were doing well. [00:45:06] You know, people aren't doing great now. [00:45:08] You know, and one of the presidents had the idea of moving all of our industrial. [00:45:14] Our industrial manufacturing and stuff with car manufacturers and steel and all that stuff, we shipped it all to China, right? [00:45:22] Here's the point. [00:45:24] When did that happen? [00:45:24] I have no idea. [00:45:25] Well, I don't know which president. [00:45:26] There's a lot of cars that are made in China. [00:45:28] There's a lot of cars that are made here, too. [00:45:30] The problem is at some point. [00:45:31] Detroit used to be like a metropolis. [00:45:34] Oh, yeah. [00:45:34] Of course. [00:45:34] Now it's a hellhole. [00:45:36] Right. [00:45:36] But I mean, imagine someday you need to start manufacturing tanks and all of these types of things. [00:45:46] And most of a ton of stuff is being manufactured with your enemy. [00:45:51] You know, I mean, what do you do? [00:45:53] So it's just, I just don't think it's a good situation at all. [00:45:57] Like, to me, right now, with Biden being president, like, I would invade Taiwan right now and just take it over. [00:46:07] Like, take that whole lot. [00:46:09] Like, who's going to really, nobody, you know, is he competent to make any of these decisions? [00:46:15] Like, to him, it'd be like, Sent a harshly worded email. === Invading Taiwan Now (13:45) === [00:46:19] I'm like, what are you going to do? [00:46:20] He's backpedaled so much. [00:46:22] It's such a disaster. [00:46:23] Well, we bend the knee to China pretty much constantly. [00:46:25] Constantly. [00:46:26] All of our biggest companies do. [00:46:27] The NBA bends the knee to China when anything happens. [00:46:30] When one of the NBA players or one of the NBA executives says some shit about China on Twitter, they fucking fire that person or they push them down or they silence them. [00:46:43] Yeah, at some point. [00:46:45] The NBA completely bends the knee to China because I think China is 10% of the NBA's total revenue. [00:46:52] What's Russia doing over there? [00:46:54] Play this video. [00:46:55] Play this video. [00:46:56] This video is fucking hilarious. [00:46:57] This is Ted Cruz talking to the TikTok executive. [00:47:04] I was just going to say, that's Ted Cruz? [00:47:06] Get some volume going. [00:47:12] Turn the volume up on the remote. [00:47:13] On the remote, Aiden. [00:47:15] The TV remote. [00:47:17] Yeah, right there. [00:47:22] There you go. [00:47:23] I like the title as Ted Cruz Explodes. [00:47:25] Oh, we got no audio. [00:47:26] Oh, you got to go to the volume audio settings on the monitor on the bottom right. [00:47:34] going. [00:47:36] This is fucking great. [00:47:39] Watch this. [00:47:53] About your parent, you finally answered yes, that you could share all your information with your parent company based in Beijing. [00:48:08] I've asked you three times about this sister company that is obviously another affiliate. [00:48:13] You've refused three times. [00:48:16] That may be revealing often, as Sherlock Holmes observed about the dogs that do not bark. [00:48:24] It may be revealing that this guy's quoting Sherlock Holmes. [00:48:29] Yeah, he is. [00:48:30] Matlock. [00:48:31] Well, they say no. [00:48:32] If it's no, then it's no. [00:48:33] Right. [00:48:33] Is it yes or no? [00:48:34] It's obviously not no. [00:48:35] Right. [00:48:37] Well, you can't just say yes, right? [00:48:40] He can't say yes or he's dead, man. [00:48:43] He might disappear. [00:48:45] Wouldn't it be great if he said, Senator, I have children? [00:48:48] Yeah, right, right, right. [00:48:51] Do you have children, Senator? [00:49:06] I appreciate you're trying with gotcha questions on each side of the country. [00:49:09] It's not a gotcha question. [00:49:10] I'm asking about your policy, Paul, and accurate about are you willing to answer this question, yes or no? [00:49:16] Senator, I answered the question. [00:49:18] You have not answered the question. [00:49:20] Is it another affiliate, yes or no? [00:49:23] Senator, I stated a number of times that that entity is a domestic entity within China for licensing there. [00:49:28] And apples are red. [00:49:29] You stated something that is not the question I asked. [00:49:32] Is it another affiliate as defined under your privacy policy? [00:49:35] Yes or no? [00:49:35] You're here under oath. [00:49:36] Are you going to answer the question? [00:49:39] Or were you instructed not to answer this question? [00:49:42] No, Senator. [00:49:42] So you're just not refusing to answer because you don't want to? [00:49:46] Senator, it is not affiliated with TikTok. [00:49:50] That's your question. [00:49:52] That is the answer. [00:49:52] Then say no. [00:49:53] I want to be clear because you're under oath. [00:49:57] Your answer is that Beijing ByteDance Technology is not a, quote, other affiliate of our corporate group, as your privacy policy uses that term. [00:50:07] This is a legal question with consequence. [00:50:09] Senator, I understand the question. [00:50:12] As I pointed out, TikTok is not available in China. [00:50:16] That is an entity that is for purposes of a license of business in China that is not affiliated with TikTok. [00:50:21] So, for the record, you're refusing to answer the question. [00:50:27] I believe I answered your question. [00:50:28] Yes or no? [00:50:28] Tell me which one it is. [00:50:29] Just give me one word yes or no. [00:50:31] Can you force somebody to give you a yes or no answer? [00:50:34] No. [00:50:35] No. [00:50:35] It's not a yes or no question. [00:50:37] I want to be precise. [00:50:39] Can you? [00:50:40] It does seem like it's a yes or no question. [00:50:45] Is this company one of these? [00:50:47] It would fall within these. [00:50:48] You can stop it. [00:50:49] It's complicated. [00:50:50] Yeah. [00:50:50] That was long. [00:50:51] Does this company fall within? [00:50:54] That's like saying, is Shane a member of my family? [00:50:59] Right. [00:51:00] Yes or no? [00:51:01] Well, you're under. [00:51:02] Exactly. [00:51:03] I'm not quite sure what you're saying. [00:51:05] You're trying family. [00:51:08] It's sketchy that he wouldn't answer no. [00:51:10] You know what I mean? [00:51:11] It's not even sketchy. [00:51:12] Is obvious. [00:51:13] You can see. [00:51:14] But I mean, he's playing the role of any other typical lawyer in a court. [00:51:17] I have children. [00:51:18] Please, please stop asking me this question. [00:51:21] So, Matt, based on your information and your knowledge that you know about China, why wouldn't that guy say yes to that? [00:51:28] All my information comes from YouTube. [00:51:30] But yeah, I mean, I mean, obvious. [00:51:33] Yeah, it must be. [00:51:34] Is it crazy? [00:51:35] Do you think China is collecting biometric data on American teenagers through TikTok? [00:51:41] I think on anybody, on everybody. [00:51:43] I think they've got massive buildings filled with computer banks that are just storing just tons of information on everybody. [00:51:51] But you know what's interesting? [00:51:53] One, why isn't TikTok in China? [00:51:56] And my other question is you understand, like, China doesn't have any respect for our intellectual property. [00:52:04] Did you know? [00:52:05] Right. [00:52:05] I told him that too. [00:52:06] He doesn't care. [00:52:06] Oh, did you? [00:52:07] That's what's wrong with you? [00:52:08] See, they have banking on you. [00:52:10] So, like, look, you know, the banking, how much money is China making off me? [00:52:15] Look, for instance, I'll give you an example. [00:52:17] They're stealing intellectual property from U.S. companies. [00:52:22] Who do you think pays for all of that research that China just comes in and says, oh, let's just steal this? [00:52:27] You know, Malky doesn't seem too upset. [00:52:29] All the shoes are made there. [00:52:30] Well, no, because they're making tons of money. [00:52:32] So what do they care? [00:52:33] But it's not, I'm not talking about it. [00:52:34] I'm not talking about, I'm not talking about that's what they're banking on. [00:52:38] They're banking on people to be happy watching sitcoms and playing with their cell phones while they grow and grow and doing nothing. [00:52:48] Pull your troops back from here. [00:52:50] We don't need to build this many tanks. [00:52:52] Forget about getting a next generation fighter. [00:52:56] Don't worry about putting money into satellite research. [00:52:58] We're good. [00:52:59] We're happy. [00:53:00] We've got cell phones. [00:53:01] We get to go to dinner twice a week. [00:53:03] We can play baseball. [00:53:04] We can watch baseball and football. [00:53:06] And, you know, so we're happy. [00:53:07] So what does it matter while we're sitting here, you know, la, And they're building up, building up, building up. [00:53:12] And then one day they start building troop transports. [00:53:16] We're not building nothing over here? [00:53:18] No, but we're not expanding. [00:53:21] They're expanding. [00:53:23] Let me put it this way. [00:53:24] Why aren't we expanding? [00:53:25] That's what I'm saying. [00:53:26] Listen, like, you know, people talk about like colonialism, like, oh, you shouldn't have colonialism. [00:53:31] Listen, Mexico, if I was president, Mexico would be a state right now. [00:53:35] I mean, we're worried about the border. [00:53:37] Man, I'd just go in that whole place and clean it out. [00:53:40] It'd be horrible. [00:53:41] It'd be brutal. [00:53:41] Let me tell you something. [00:53:42] There'd be firing squads. [00:53:45] Oh, there'd be firing squads. [00:53:47] Oh, and as far as Afghanistan, that doesn't sound any better than China. [00:53:50] No, wait till they get carte blanche to do whatever they want. [00:53:53] You don't really think that they're going to let the rest of us. [00:53:56] We're subhuman to them. [00:53:59] The way we looked at the Chinese back throughout the 1800s and 1900s, we were like, they were. [00:54:08] They were little people with squinty eyes and they couldn't see. [00:54:10] Like, we were completely racist, right? [00:54:13] Well, it shifted. [00:54:15] Like, they think we're not in the same category as them. [00:54:19] Like, they don't want Americans. [00:54:21] Like, they'll take a couple Americans because, you know, we're kind of creative. [00:54:24] And they like to have us come in, pay us a little bit of money, steal our stuff, steal this. [00:54:29] The windmills that they all had, they had some company come in and build the windmills and come up with all of the software. [00:54:36] And then, you know what they did? [00:54:38] They said, yeah, we don't need any more of your windmills. [00:54:39] Why? [00:54:40] Because we've now figured out how to do the software. [00:54:43] We've now got, now we're manufacturing the windmills. [00:54:45] We're putting them all up ourselves. [00:54:46] We've stolen your intellectual property. [00:54:48] These people, then, the windmill companies over here, for the electric windmills, sued them billions of dollars worth of lawsuits that they're supposed to pay. [00:54:56] And the Chinese are like, yeah, we're not paying. [00:54:58] But you clearly stole our stuff. [00:54:59] You're using all of our technology to build your windmills. [00:55:02] Yeah, I know. [00:55:03] What are you going to do? [00:55:04] Right. [00:55:04] Nothing. [00:55:04] You're not going to do anything. [00:55:05] We can't do shit. [00:55:05] Right. [00:55:06] We're just going to keep your stuff. [00:55:07] So what I'm saying is they're basically getting economically bullied by them. [00:55:11] Right. [00:55:11] And at some point, at some point. [00:55:13] You're telling me that doesn't go both ways? [00:55:15] I'm saying that right now and for the past 50 years, we could have invaded all of these other countries. [00:55:23] We didn't. [00:55:24] We didn't, though. [00:55:25] So, what I'm saying is, they're already. [00:55:28] I think we kind of disagree. [00:55:29] Iraq and Afghanistan, we invaded. [00:55:31] I mean, we own banks in all the fucking countries. [00:55:35] Yeah, but you know, so what just happened in Afghanistan? [00:55:38] You know what I'm saying? [00:55:40] Like, what's happened in all of these countries? [00:55:42] I mean, we're saying, hey, become a democracy. [00:55:44] We're not coming in saying, like, to me, It'd be colonialism. [00:55:48] I'd go straight in and just wipe out the entire upper structure, and I would wipe out everybody, and I'd put our own people in, and I'd have green zones, and they'd all be subservient. [00:55:59] It'd be brutal. [00:56:00] There'd be firing squads. [00:56:01] It'd be horrific. [00:56:02] Jesus Christ, Matt Collins. [00:56:03] Because that's what's going to happen when China takes over. [00:56:06] They're going to come in here, and your children are going to be lined up and going to their schools. [00:56:11] If you say anything, you're going to be in an internment camp, or you're going to be executed, and they're going to go through and they're going to clean everybody out. [00:56:18] You didn't tell me you were such a nihilist. [00:56:20] I mean, what am I supposed to say, bro? [00:56:21] I mean, it's the truth. [00:56:22] I mean, that's what's going to happen. [00:56:24] You think they could take us over? [00:56:26] Right now, I don't. [00:56:27] Right now, I don't. [00:56:28] Right now, I think it's first of all, they can't even invade right now. [00:56:32] Like, they literally can't move their troops. [00:56:34] Their Navy is like nothing compared to ours. [00:56:35] Right. [00:56:36] Right. [00:56:36] But you also know what they're building. [00:56:40] They're building these submarines that are kind of like we have the drones. [00:56:45] They have subs that are like that. [00:56:47] So their whole concept is right now, we build, you remember the wolf packs? [00:56:52] In World War II. [00:56:53] So, in Germany, what they could do from inside of Germany was it was, we can't build these massive ships. [00:57:00] It's too much. [00:57:01] But what we can do is we can build a thousand, two thousand submarines. [00:57:07] So, we can make the sea so dangerous that they can't use it to their advantage. [00:57:14] So, we can't build a bunch of ships from Germany. [00:57:16] We don't have the resources. [00:57:17] We don't have the ability. [00:57:18] We don't have the manufacturing to do it. [00:57:19] We can't build fucking drone submarines. [00:57:21] No, what I'm saying is we don't have them. [00:57:22] I'm saying they do. [00:57:23] Surely they do. [00:57:24] They're building so many of them. [00:57:26] That they're going to make the sea so dangerous. [00:57:28] Dropping bombs. [00:57:30] They're going to make the sea so dangerous that even if they don't have the ships, they can take out ours. [00:57:35] They don't have to build ships to compete with us if they just remove ours from the equation. [00:57:40] And it's cheaper to build. [00:57:41] Submarines are considered navy. [00:57:43] A submarine is considered a warship. [00:57:45] What do you mean it's considered a warship? [00:57:48] A submarine is part of a navy. [00:57:49] First of all, they're not even manned. [00:57:51] We're talking about. [00:57:51] No, they're not manned. [00:57:52] No, they're like drones. [00:57:53] They're on. [00:57:53] Right, so you've got a bunch of guys in a. [00:57:55] Surely we can do this, though? [00:57:56] Huh? [00:57:57] Surely we can get a few of those. [00:57:58] I mean, but you have to develop. [00:58:01] You can't put together something like that from scratch. [00:58:03] We can't? [00:58:04] That takes a decade in research. [00:58:07] Then you have to figure out the manufacturing. [00:58:09] They're way ahead of us. [00:58:10] They're already figuring this out. [00:58:12] They're going to have a massive, massive military. [00:58:14] And they've got the men. [00:58:15] They're not that far ahead of us. [00:58:16] Are you serious? [00:58:18] Listen, check the comments. [00:58:19] It's going to go nuts. [00:58:19] We're going to have drones flying around the world dropping bombs on people. [00:58:23] We can't figure out how to make them go under the water. [00:58:25] They've got like 20 soldiers for every one soldier we have. [00:58:29] That's 20 to 1. [00:58:30] You can have bows and arrows, and I can have a machine gun, and guess what? [00:58:33] You're going to take me out. [00:58:35] You got 20 guys. [00:58:36] I've got what? [00:58:37] You're going to get me. [00:58:39] There's 20 of you. [00:58:41] I don't know about all that. [00:58:43] That's true. [00:58:43] I mean, we've got missiles and all sorts of shit. [00:58:47] What's the population of China? [00:58:48] Yeah, but so how are they so far ahead of us? [00:58:51] Well, even if they're not. [00:58:53] Look, I'm not saying that they are technically superior. [00:58:57] What I'm saying is, if it comes down to it, the numbers alone. [00:59:01] Should tell you that first of all, they have more tanks than us already. [00:59:05] By the way, they have more tanks, they have more uh troop transports as far as like um inside the country, they have more jeeps, they have 20 times. [00:59:13] I think it's something like it is, I think it's like 20, 20 people, 20 soldiers for every one of our soldiers. [00:59:19] I mean, come on, 1.4 billion. [00:59:21] I know that's an issue. [00:59:22] How many people do we have? [00:59:23] We have 300 million in the U.S. [00:59:25] I think we have more than 350 now. [00:59:26] Is it 350 or 330 something right now? [00:59:28] 350 maybe. [00:59:30] What's the U.S. population? [00:59:32] 1.4 billion in 2020 in China. [00:59:34] That's absurd. [00:59:37] Okay, United States right there. [00:59:38] Yeah, 325 million. [00:59:39] 329 million. [00:59:40] 320. [00:59:41] Oh, I said 330. [00:59:42] Yeah, you were close. [00:59:44] How many people, how many soldiers are in the Chinese military? [00:59:49] Yeah, look that up. [00:59:50] Soldiers in the Chinese military. [00:59:54] Did you see that video on social media of the North Korean soldiers putting on that show for Kim Jong Un? === US Population Debate (05:24) === [01:00:04] They had like this, but. [01:00:06] They had this group of North Korean soldiers doing like crazy fucking martial arts, like kicking people in the head, doing backflips, like Jackie Chan type shit. [01:00:14] Yeah, this guy's like, he's like. [01:00:17] Okay, China military size, 4 million, 15,000 total personnel. [01:00:23] 4 million. [01:00:24] How many are in the United States? [01:00:25] 2.2 million. [01:00:27] 4 million versus two. [01:00:29] So what? [01:00:30] They got twice the person. [01:00:31] Okay, twice. [01:00:32] Whatever, bro. [01:00:33] It's a lot. [01:00:34] Yeah. [01:00:35] It's a lot. [01:00:37] That's double. [01:00:37] That's double our people. [01:00:39] Double. [01:00:39] Yeah, but it's not 20, but it is double. [01:00:42] What do you want to do about it? [01:00:44] Well, I don't want to do anything. [01:00:46] What do you mean I want to do? [01:00:46] What I want to do is I want to put more money into military and I want to start taking over some countries. [01:00:51] That's what I want to do. [01:00:52] I want to take all of South America. [01:00:54] I want to take all the answer I was looking for. [01:00:58] I want to go in. [01:00:59] I want to push all the way through. [01:01:01] But we're already putting an insane amount of money to the military. [01:01:04] What do you mean? [01:01:05] No, no. [01:01:05] I mean more. [01:01:06] And I think you go in and you take over Mexico. [01:01:09] And I think you go into all of South America. [01:01:12] And I think you go into all of Africa. [01:01:15] And I think that's it. [01:01:16] Yeah, but then you got to feed all those people, like you said. [01:01:18] Now what? [01:01:19] Listen, I'm not that concerned about feeding them. [01:01:25] He wants to kill him. [01:01:26] Yeah. [01:01:26] We were talking about whitehead firing squads. [01:01:28] Listen, this guy is this guy. [01:01:31] We're sitting next to the modern day Hitler. [01:01:33] I'm just, look, I'm just saying something. [01:01:38] You got to start thinking long term. [01:01:39] You're taking over. [01:01:41] Like, what's Amadeo? [01:01:42] Amadeo. [01:01:43] Yeah. [01:01:43] You're just another Amadeo. [01:01:45] Yeah. [01:01:45] Who was arrested, by the way. [01:01:46] So he's in jail. [01:01:47] What? [01:01:48] He's back in jail? [01:01:49] No. [01:01:50] I thought I knew. [01:01:53] No. [01:01:53] How did that happen? [01:01:54] Probation got, they violated his probation, threw him back in jail. [01:01:57] Now, we don't know. [01:01:58] If it's a new charge, see, I don't talk to him. [01:02:00] So, but we don't know if it's a new charge or if it's a new charge or if it's just a probation violation because he was combining several companies and he had a bunch of offices in Orlando. [01:02:13] And basically, he was doing what he does. [01:02:16] He was putting together a mass, a company and start. [01:02:19] I told you, it's not stopping. [01:02:20] Oh my God. [01:02:21] He's going off. [01:02:23] And listen, in my book, I explain that this is, he will get out and do it all over again. [01:02:29] He's been doing this. [01:02:31] Right. [01:02:32] Yeah, yeah, he's uh oh, yeah, it's it's hard to have it's hard to have a positive outlook on humanity and the world when all it is is just these separate fucking groups of people just trying to take over and kill the other group of people. [01:02:47] Did I tell you about that? [01:02:48] That's all we are. [01:02:49] One of his one of his things was he was gonna like execute like all the lawyers. [01:02:54] I mean, you're all but listen during a rant one so so just for your knowledge, I wrote a book called It's Insanity about a guy named Frank Cabadeo who. [01:03:03] Go buy that fucking book now, you cocksuckers. [01:03:05] Rapid cycling bipolar with features of schizophrenia that believes that God is telling him he is preordained to be emperor of the world. [01:03:15] The book's not even long. [01:03:16] It's like less than 200 pages, but great book. [01:03:19] Tried to take over the Congo. [01:03:21] Did you ever watch the documentary, Nine Days in the Congo? [01:03:25] Awesome. [01:03:26] Fucking amazing. [01:03:27] Listen, he's great. [01:03:29] I got photos and everything. [01:03:30] He tries to take over the Congo. [01:03:31] He tries to become the president of the Congo? [01:03:33] No, no. [01:03:33] He tried to. [01:03:34] Oh, no, no. [01:03:35] He tried to get a guy elected as president. [01:03:36] Right, right. [01:03:37] And the guy he had in his pocket. [01:03:38] Yeah. [01:03:38] And it was, he had a military, he basically had like a private military group that went in there. [01:03:45] He had hired a bunch of mercenaries. [01:03:47] It was basically like a coup. [01:03:49] They were going to take over a political coup, but still a coup. [01:03:52] And they figured it out and they arrested his guys. [01:03:53] And eventually he gets them released and it doesn't work. [01:03:56] But the fact that you even think that you can do it is insane. [01:03:59] Tried to buy a bunch of F 15s and F 16s that were used. [01:04:02] I mean, anyway, the point is, yeah, got out on COVID, violated somehow, whether it's a new charge, I don't know, but they put him back in jail. [01:04:12] He's back in jail right now. [01:04:14] Fuck. [01:04:14] Is he back in Coleman? [01:04:15] No, no, he's just right now. [01:04:16] He's just in like the Marshalls holdover. [01:04:19] Oh, my God. [01:04:20] Damn. [01:04:20] I'm trying to think. [01:04:21] You know where, where, trying to think because I actually looked it up. [01:04:25] So, I mean, you know, I, um, can you Google Frank Amadeo? [01:04:30] Let's see if we can find any news articles on him. [01:04:32] That's fucked up. [01:04:33] I'm trying to find Mike Amadeo. [01:04:36] There's no finding him. [01:04:37] He's in Dunedin somewhere. [01:04:39] I don't know. [01:04:41] Trying to. [01:04:44] Okay, I know what I'm going to do. [01:04:46] Frank, I'm a damn. [01:04:51] Oh, oh. [01:04:52] Try the third one. [01:04:55] Here's where he is. [01:04:56] He's in seminalsheriff.org. [01:04:59] So, seminal. [01:05:00] Seminal County. [01:05:00] Seminalsheriff.org. [01:05:03] Seminalsheriff.org. [01:05:05] Look, Here. [01:05:10] Oh my god, look at this fuck, bro. [01:05:12] He looks old. [01:05:14] He looks weathered in this face. [01:05:17] He's trying to take over the world. [01:05:19] I mean, it's not easy. [01:05:21] It's hard on you. [01:05:22] It's a hard life. [01:05:24] Wow. [01:05:25] Did you go to the inmate thing? === Cartel Drug Deaths (05:26) === [01:05:29] Can I have my thing back? [01:05:32] Let me see what else you got going on. [01:05:33] Yeah, no, no, no, no. [01:05:34] What are you doing? [01:05:35] That's fucked up, man. [01:05:38] Fucking Amadeo, bro. [01:05:40] So let me ask you this. [01:05:42] If Matt Cox was president of the United States, oh God, what who are you taking first? [01:05:49] You're taking Amadeo, you're gonna make Amadeo, Amadeo's president. [01:05:53] Oh, listen, Amadeo, make Amadeo's VP, he's he's he's hit the military, absolutely, military, NASA, and and um, he may be joint chiefs of staff. [01:06:02] Listen, things are changing. [01:06:03] Hey, speaking of NASA, things are changing. [01:06:05] Speaking of NASA, and there'd be always who else are you hiring? [01:06:10] Brutal, listen, right now it'd be the state of Afghanistan, we'd be 51 states. [01:06:15] There'd probably be by now 55 states. [01:06:18] I'm glad it doesn't take over like Mexico, Afghanistan. [01:06:22] Oh, there'd be some. [01:06:23] Puerto Rico, yeah, you're a state now. [01:06:26] I mean, just like all these things that, no, no, we're scratching that. [01:06:29] We're scratching that. [01:06:31] No. [01:06:31] So why doesn't the United States take over these countries? [01:06:35] Because they consider it like colonialism and it's like it's bad because, oh, you're making them subservient to your country. [01:06:41] Because what happened was like, look, you've got France and the Netherlands also. [01:06:46] It seems like if we could make Mexico. [01:06:50] Is the point, is the reason we don't like, if you could say like, okay, we take Mexico, we could do a deal, we could make them part of the United States and make Mexico, we can improve everything about Mexico, the quality of life there, the jobs there, like we can make it a part of the United States. [01:07:04] It seems like our economy would get hurt, though. [01:07:07] That's the problem is our economy for a temporary period of time would be, there would be a drain. [01:07:12] Why? [01:07:14] Because you'd be absorbing an economy that is not functioning as well as ours. [01:07:19] Okay. [01:07:19] You know, it'd be like, you know, it's like, It's like, you know, marrying your wife who basically is in the hole every single month, and now you have to start contributing to pay her bills. [01:07:30] It's like, eh. [01:07:31] Right. [01:07:32] You know, so eventually you think, okay, it's okay because I can get her straightened out and I can fix this and we can refinance this and we can do this. [01:07:39] And eventually, five years, 10 years from now, it'll be better. [01:07:43] But it takes decades to bring that whole country up. [01:07:46] You know, so instead, what we say is build a wall, you know, keep very few of them from coming in. [01:07:53] Let's try and trade with them. [01:07:55] You know, there's little things that we kind of do, but because they're saying, look, it's a massive undertaking to do that. [01:08:01] I personally don't think it's that massive if you just get rid of a good portion of the population. [01:08:06] Fuck, bro. [01:08:07] Is that wrong? [01:08:08] I feel bad about that. [01:08:10] Genocide? [01:08:11] Yeah, that's kind of wrong. [01:08:14] I mean, I'm just saying in general, if you're a drain, it's an issue. [01:08:19] They're killing each other off right now. [01:08:20] What are you talking about? [01:08:22] They're always killing one another off. [01:08:23] I mean, the cartels, yeah. [01:08:24] Cartels, wipe them out. [01:08:26] What's the problem with that? [01:08:26] Wipe them out. [01:08:28] Make drugs legal. [01:08:28] That would wipe them out. [01:08:30] That would be an issue. [01:08:31] But look, some drugs, like, Like meth. [01:08:34] Legal. [01:08:35] Legal. [01:08:36] Yeah. [01:08:37] You're talking about wiping them out? [01:08:38] Let them wipe themselves out if they want to. [01:08:41] Make meth legal. [01:08:42] Make cocaine legal. [01:08:43] If you're going to be dumb enough, I mean, at least the people that die from cocaine and that shit right now, they die because they don't know what it's cut with. [01:08:53] It's cut with fentanyl. [01:08:54] And you don't know what the product is. [01:08:56] You're saying make a better product. [01:08:56] If I take a shot of this whiskey, I know I'm drinking whiskey. [01:08:59] If I drink, like, you know, this analogy has been made before, I could drink this whole bottle of whiskey. [01:09:06] I know I would probably end up in the hospital or dead if I chugged this whole bottle of whiskey, right? [01:09:10] Okay. [01:09:11] It's different with cocaine. [01:09:12] If I got a little fucking, if I got a fucking gram of cocaine, I don't know. [01:09:17] I'm rolling the dice because you don't know what it's cut with. [01:09:19] If it's cut with fentanyl and I do a line of Coke laced with fentanyl. [01:09:23] Adios. [01:09:24] Adios, amigo, bro. [01:09:25] It's all bad. [01:09:27] But if you know that it's pure cocaine, just like I know this is fucking whiskey, I know my tolerance. [01:09:33] I know how much I can do. [01:09:35] The reason so many people die from doing Coke and doing fucking heroin, whatever it is, is it's Cut with all this fucking crazy shit. [01:09:41] You don't know what it is because it's illegal and because cartels can cut it. [01:09:44] Not the cartels. [01:09:45] The cartels usually provide pretty much a pure product. [01:09:48] A one. [01:09:48] But when it gets to the US, the fucking some of these guys in the US, the drug dealers in the US, they'll cut it with their shit to kind of increase their profit margin. [01:09:56] And the result of that is a lot of people die because they don't know what they're getting. [01:10:02] If you made it legal and you regulated it and you tested the purity, I don't think cocaine is a bad thing. [01:10:08] If cocaine, Was legal and regulated, and it was you could buy a bottle of whiskey just like if you could buy a bag of coke, just like you could buy a bottle of whiskey. [01:10:18] I think it would, you know, it first of all, it would take out the cartels, second of all, people wouldn't be dying from it. [01:10:25] It'd cost too much because then your government owns it and they want to make some money. [01:10:29] I guarantee you, if cocaine was legal, still more people would die from alcohol than they would from cocaine. [01:10:34] Probably, and it would take out the cartels instead of putting them in front of firing squads like you want to do. [01:10:43] Listen. [01:10:44] Nobody's missing those guys. [01:10:47] All right. [01:10:47] You're a real piece of shit, Matt. [01:10:48] I mean, what am I supposed to say, Danny? [01:10:51] Sorry. [01:10:51] You should just go join China. [01:10:53] Yeah, you should. [01:10:54] Oh, wait. [01:10:55] Wait till they take over. === Legalizing Cocaine Risks (12:35) === [01:10:56] Shane loves China. [01:10:57] Shane, bro. [01:10:58] You should just join their side. [01:10:59] Bro, when they come in, it'll be execution. [01:11:03] They'll be wiping you out. [01:11:05] Shane visited China once when he was like 13 years old. [01:11:07] He takes me out then. [01:11:08] He thinks it's the coolest place. [01:11:09] Yeah, I went to China. [01:11:10] Where'd you go? [01:11:12] We stayed in Guangzhou most of the time. [01:11:15] So now he thinks he's like a local there. [01:11:16] He's like, bro, you. [01:11:17] Quit talking shit about China, bro. [01:11:19] I've been there, bro. [01:11:20] Just like he was born. [01:11:21] That's exactly what I said, man. [01:11:23] He was born in Pittsburgh. [01:11:24] He was there for like a week. [01:11:25] And now he thinks he's like a fucking, he's like a Pittsburgh. [01:11:28] You know, he's a Yinzer. [01:11:29] He's a Pittsburgh fan because he was there for the first week of his life. [01:11:33] So he thinks he's like a local Pittsburghian. [01:11:35] He's like, why were you in China? [01:11:38] My uncle married some girl from China. [01:11:39] Nice. [01:11:40] We stayed over there with her family and shit. [01:11:42] Yeah. [01:11:43] Which uncle? [01:11:44] On my dad's side. [01:11:46] The uncle that was at your grandma's house? [01:11:48] No, that's my mom's side. [01:11:50] How'd that work out? [01:11:51] Good? [01:11:51] Still married? [01:11:51] Still with her? [01:11:53] I don't know. [01:11:53] I think so. [01:11:57] China was pretty cool. [01:11:58] Does China have a lot of mail order brides? [01:12:01] I don't know. [01:12:02] I wonder if China, if you can get, if you get mail. [01:12:04] It's the Russia thing. [01:12:06] Russia and China. [01:12:07] No, no, there's tons of them from South America, too. [01:12:10] There's tons of women that will come here to be married to an American. [01:12:15] I mean, they'll pay. [01:12:15] To get your green card. [01:12:18] Yeah. [01:12:18] Well, to be a citizen. [01:12:20] Because the United States has the human rights freedoms in the United States are unlike any other country, right? [01:12:29] Especially China and Russia. [01:12:31] I don't know about that. [01:12:33] But that's what they're pitching. [01:12:34] That's what they're pitching, bud. [01:12:38] I wonder if people in Russia and China get mail order bribes from the U.S. Too expensive. [01:12:43] Come on. [01:12:44] No. [01:12:44] The billionaires probably do. [01:12:46] Nobody wants these American women. [01:12:47] I bet you should. [01:12:48] They're a problem. [01:12:49] They're not obedient. [01:12:50] They don't listen. [01:12:51] That's true. [01:12:52] They want stuff. [01:12:53] That's true. [01:12:53] You get some chick from China, like, do you ever see the Eddie Murphy of Raw where he's like, look, they're just happy. [01:12:58] Like, they got some shoes. [01:12:59] Like you bought them some regular shoes. [01:13:01] They're like, oh, Andy, thank you for the shoes. [01:13:03] You know, they're like, so yeah. [01:13:07] Shane loves China. [01:13:09] Well, I mean, that's good. [01:13:11] I'm telling you, it's going to go bad. [01:13:12] It's going to go all good. [01:13:14] It might not be for 25 years. [01:13:16] Do you think 25 years China's taking us over? [01:13:20] I think that it's 25 years. [01:13:22] Do you know what's funny? [01:13:23] It's like we're saying this right now, but let's say it's five years from now. [01:13:26] They invade Taiwan. [01:13:27] They just take it over. [01:13:29] And then you go. [01:13:29] That's going to be less than five years, don't you think? [01:13:32] I don't know. [01:13:33] I'm shocked they haven't done it this year. [01:13:36] But to me, then you go, oh, okay, well, then they kind of back off like, yeah, that's it, that's it, that's it. [01:13:41] And then suddenly, they invade Pakistan. [01:13:45] They have issues on the border of Pakistan. [01:13:47] And you don't think the U.S. instantly starts seeing some red flags and starts fucking around over there? [01:13:52] U.S. ain't going to fucking around with that. [01:13:54] Listen, this isn't like going against. [01:13:56] We've been fucking around over there with everybody the whole time. [01:13:59] The U.S.? [01:13:59] The U.S. and China? [01:14:01] Not China, but Afghanistan. [01:14:02] Yeah, but Afghanistan. [01:14:03] Afghanistan's Afghanistan. [01:14:04] Afghanistan, their military was like South Carolina National Guard. [01:14:08] I mean, it was ridiculous. [01:14:09] They're just going to let China keep taking shit over the U.S.? [01:14:12] They keep doing it, yeah. [01:14:13] Yeah, because eventually they get so big that you're like, look, a full-out war is full-out war. [01:14:19] What have they taken over so far? [01:14:21] I mean, they've been pushing back. [01:14:24] First of all, they constantly have battles or disagreements with, is it Pakistan or India? [01:14:30] I think it's Pakistan. [01:14:32] What? [01:14:33] No? [01:14:34] Sure. [01:14:36] So they're also trying to expand. [01:14:39] You know, they're doing a lot of stuff. [01:14:40] And I know what you're going to say, America did the same thing and everything. [01:14:43] The problem is they're doing it better. [01:14:46] So they have a better long term policy. [01:14:50] And in the end, their goal is that they are going to continue to take over these. [01:14:56] Look, they're surrounding us right now. [01:14:58] You know, they're in South America right now. [01:15:02] Like, there's a ton of Chinese in Peru. [01:15:07] I mean, eventually. [01:15:08] Chinese companies? [01:15:10] Chinese companies and Chinese. [01:15:12] Like, I have a, but they, what does it matter if there's some Chinese people living there? [01:15:15] What does that mean? [01:15:15] No, no, no, not some. [01:15:16] I mean, a lot. [01:15:17] Like, they're going in, they're building factories, they're building, they're building all throughout, and they're hiring, you know, they're hiring those workers. [01:15:23] And what they're doing is they're, it's, it's influence. [01:15:26] They're trying to push their influence. [01:15:27] And at some point, that influence shifts against the United States. [01:15:32] That's all I'm saying. [01:15:32] Like, the funny thing is, is like, you have to look out for your interests. [01:15:36] How many people can they take over that we're not friends with? [01:15:40] I mean, first of all, our friends are fleeting. [01:15:43] You know, like, even the thing with Afghanistan, like, did you see almost all of our allies are like, you just pulled, you never asked, you pulled out, you didn't tell us this is coming. [01:15:54] Like, they're scrambling to get out of Afghanistan because, like, 80% of all the troops there are like the United States. [01:16:01] You don't know if it's exactly 80, but there was a ton. [01:16:03] Like, they just did it. [01:16:04] So, our allies are furious at us. [01:16:08] You know, so I mean, it gets to be, it just gets to be an issue. [01:16:10] It's just credibility. [01:16:11] And eventually, people start saying, look, we're just not going to back you. [01:16:16] And China is too powerful. [01:16:18] And so, what do you do when they start taking over these little countries? [01:16:22] The United States has been bending the knee to China for a while. [01:16:25] No matter what they do, they've been bullying us. [01:16:28] Yeah, no listen not not to say we didn't bully them for a long time and everybody else and I get it It's like but to say okay, well then now it's our turn to take some crap. [01:16:37] Well, that's karma Disagree sure is it unfair? [01:16:42] Yeah, is it on is it unfair that you know that we pushed a whole bunch of people around for for decades and now they're pushing us around slaved people. [01:16:51] I mean, I mean They have slavery there now. [01:16:53] I mean, they they take people in from North Korea and they harvest them for their fucking what is what is that? [01:16:58] What is making your Nikes that you're wearing? [01:17:00] I don't have Nikes. [01:17:02] There's an entire area in China that basically they're like starving to death. [01:17:06] They have intern camps. [01:17:08] Right, right. [01:17:10] Can you punch up intern camps in China? [01:17:12] Internment? [01:17:13] Intern. [01:17:13] Internment? [01:17:14] Internment. [01:17:15] I said intern. [01:17:16] What is an internment camp? [01:17:18] It's basically nice. [01:17:19] It's insanity. [01:17:20] I love it. [01:17:21] I love it. [01:17:22] I didn't even see that. [01:17:22] Frank Amadeus. [01:17:23] Frank looks 20 years younger in that photo. [01:17:25] Yeah, well, that was a while ago. [01:17:26] That was before he did 10 years in prison. [01:17:28] Internment camp. [01:17:30] Yeah, China. [01:17:36] No, but China has a really big organ industry. [01:17:42] Yeah. [01:17:42] Harvesting organs for people. [01:17:44] Oh, is that it right there? [01:17:45] Wait, what is it called? [01:17:46] Ying's internment camp? [01:17:49] Oh, yeah, they have camps. [01:17:50] Right. [01:17:51] There's like a whole section of their population that they're basically going after and putting in these camps. [01:17:56] For what? [01:17:57] What are these camps? [01:17:58] They got some problem with the. [01:17:59] Click on that photo again, Aiden, the top one. [01:18:01] All right, now click on the link, the Wikipedia link. [01:18:03] Yeah, right there. [01:18:04] They got some problem with the authenticity of this gold. [01:18:07] The Yinping internment camp, officially called the Vocational Education and Training Centers by the government of China, are internment camps operated by the government of the. [01:18:19] I'm not going to even try to say that. [01:18:20] And the Chinese Communist Party, CCP. [01:18:26] Human Rights Watch say that they have been used to indoctrinate Yu Jinher's and other Muslims since 2017 as part of. [01:18:38] A People's War on Terror, a policy announced in 2014. [01:18:42] The camps have been criticized for alleged human rights abuses, including mistreatment, rape, and torture by the governments of many countries and human rights organizations. [01:18:52] Huh. [01:18:53] Yeah, that's not the segment of the population that I'm talking about. [01:18:56] There's an entire area. [01:18:57] Somebody, I'm sure, guys will scream and holler that you're talking what I'm talking about. [01:19:02] There's an entire area that they're going in. [01:19:05] It's like saying yeah, I've heard this. [01:19:06] They have camps there where they basically enslave people. [01:19:09] Right, right. [01:19:09] It's like saying, it's like if suddenly the United States government said, you know what, we're going to go after all the Puerto Ricans. [01:19:14] Right. [01:19:14] Like, that's what's happening. [01:19:16] They're saying, we don't like this section of our population. [01:19:18] Right, right. [01:19:19] I've heard of this. [01:19:20] And it's really an area of China. [01:19:23] And so they're going after and they're grabbing all those guys and they're putting them in, and they're starving them to death. [01:19:27] And there's all kinds of human rights violations and they're putting them in these camps. [01:19:30] You know, I mean, it's. [01:19:32] So, yeah. [01:19:33] And there's nothing that we can do about it. [01:19:34] Like, normally, if this was another country, the United States would go in there and fucking destroy them, right? [01:19:39] But it's China. [01:19:40] So we don't do anything to just complain. [01:19:42] Like, what do we complain a little bit? [01:19:43] They're like, so what do you. [01:19:44] Do you want your, you know, do you want your ab rollers and your Nikes and your cell phones? [01:19:50] Right. [01:19:51] Exactly. [01:19:51] We'd like that. [01:19:52] Okay, well, then shut it up. [01:19:52] Shut the fuck up, United States. [01:19:54] Right. [01:19:54] Right. [01:19:54] So, you know, but the problem is at some point it becomes, it does become your problem. [01:19:58] And then you turn around and you go, well, wait a second. [01:20:03] Well, why didn't somebody say something, you know, earlier? [01:20:05] And you're like, well, because, you know, we were getting cell phones and we were happy and we got to watch sitcoms and we're good. [01:20:12] You know, we got TikTok. [01:20:13] So, you know, why complain that much? [01:20:16] It's kind of, you know what it reminds me of? [01:20:18] It's kind of like the, the Holocaust. [01:20:21] Like you, there were rumblings. [01:20:23] Yeah. [01:20:23] I always love it when you got a whole bunch of people that will say, Well, the United States didn't know anything about the Holocaust was going on, but we did know. [01:20:30] We knew for there were newspaper or there was tons of stuff where we knew this was what was going on, but what they were concerned about was winning the war. [01:20:37] So we're not going to put too much emphasis on that. [01:20:38] That can wait. [01:20:39] You know, we're not going to push that. [01:20:41] And this was even prior to World War II. [01:20:43] They just weren't concerned about it. [01:20:46] And so they're allowing it to happen. [01:20:48] And it wasn't worth going to war over. [01:20:50] And they were executing these people. [01:20:52] They're just kind of pushing these people around. [01:20:55] And it's their own people. [01:20:56] And so what? [01:20:57] And yeah, people are dying and some people are getting starved to death, and that's where they. [01:21:01] But I mean, so you've got the Holocaust is going on in World War, prior to World War II. [01:21:06] We didn't do anything. [01:21:07] Not only were we not doing anything, like they held the Olympics, you know, that Hitler held the Olympics. [01:21:12] We went in. [01:21:14] Hitler was like Time Magazine's man of the year. [01:21:18] What? [01:21:18] Pull it up. [01:21:19] Stop it. [01:21:20] Adolf Hitler, man of the year, Time Magazine. [01:21:23] Stop it, man. [01:21:23] When was it? [01:21:24] That did not happen. [01:21:26] Oh, I wish I was a betting man. [01:21:27] Pull this up now. [01:21:29] I want to see this. [01:21:30] There's no way. [01:21:30] Is that a bet, man? [01:21:31] If this happened, I said I wish I was a betting bet. [01:21:34] If this ever happened, this had to have been scrubbed from the internet. [01:21:36] No, oh no, it's there. [01:21:38] How much? [01:21:39] I'm not betting you. [01:21:39] Two cups of coffee. [01:21:40] I'll bet you two cups of coffee. [01:21:42] Two cups of coffee. [01:21:43] How about dinner? [01:21:44] Since you're paying for dinner anyway. [01:21:46] That's a Danny deal. [01:21:47] I'm paying for it anyway. [01:21:50] Adolf Hitler, Time Magazine, Person of the Year, right? [01:21:53] Yeah, Man of the Year. [01:21:53] Man of the Year. [01:21:58] Tie game, first quarter. [01:21:59] Second quarter just started, 7 7. [01:22:01] Listen, this guy was elected. [01:22:03] Cardinals, Packers are tied. [01:22:04] This guy was elected. [01:22:06] We're distracted by our sports, our sports betting, our TikTok. [01:22:11] We don't have time to worry about world domination, okay? [01:22:14] No, man. [01:22:14] What did my friend call Madeo? [01:22:18] Hitler Time Magazine of the Year was not. [01:22:21] That's not what it says. [01:22:22] It's fake news, Matt Cox. [01:22:24] It's fake news, Matt. [01:22:25] What do you want? [01:22:25] What? [01:22:26] 1938. [01:22:30] The fro. [01:22:31] Fact check. [01:22:33] The claim Hitler's selection as Time Man of the Year shows why media is not your friend. [01:22:39] Time Magazine's Person of the Year franchise. [01:22:41] Yeah, it is true. [01:22:42] Oh, it is true. [01:22:43] Wow. [01:22:43] The first person to appear on the cover was Charles Lindbergh in 1928. [01:22:48] A decade later, Adolf Hitler, Man of the Year, 1938. [01:22:54] Nazi leader was Man of the Year in 1938. [01:22:57] No fucking way. [01:23:00] Germany was great. [01:23:01] They were doing the colorful work. [01:23:02] They were taking names. [01:23:04] Manufacturing was great. [01:23:05] It's a wonderful place. [01:23:07] Nobody cared. [01:23:08] Who cared? [01:23:09] Wow. [01:23:11] Who's that? [01:23:11] Is that Khashoggi right there? [01:23:13] Jamal Khashoggi? [01:23:14] Yeah. [01:23:15] Wow. [01:23:16] No idea who that is. [01:23:17] That's familiar. [01:23:18] Yeah, definitely. [01:23:21] Wow. [01:23:21] What about Saudi Arabia, bro? [01:23:22] I mean, they're killing people in other countries, cutting them up and taking the bodies out. [01:23:27] Yeah. [01:23:28] Jamal Khashoggi, yeah. [01:23:29] Oh, yeah. [01:23:29] Is that who it was? [01:23:30] Yeah, yeah. [01:23:31] Oh, yeah. === Hitler Man of Year (08:45) === [01:23:32] The reporter, right? [01:23:33] The reporter, yeah. [01:23:33] I think it was for the Washington Post. [01:23:34] What's he doing? [01:23:36] He'd written a couple nasty articles. [01:23:39] About Saudi Arabia. [01:23:40] Yeah, about this one prince in particular. [01:23:42] So. [01:23:42] They invite him. [01:23:43] Muhammad bin MBS. [01:23:46] They invite him to the embassy to fill out paperwork or do something. [01:23:49] He wanted to travel or something. [01:23:50] In Turkey. [01:23:51] He was in Turkey. [01:23:52] Right. [01:23:52] Goes in, never leaves. [01:23:54] They chop him up. [01:23:55] They have audio. [01:23:56] They have all the audio. [01:23:57] Killed him, chopped him up, and then walked the pieces out, like walked them out, like in bags and stuff. [01:24:03] And they dropped them out. [01:24:04] They burned him in like a furnace or something at somebody's house. [01:24:06] You got some fucking nerve to go stepping around over there talking all that mess. [01:24:10] This guy's heartless, bro. [01:24:11] It's horrible. [01:24:12] It's horrible. [01:24:14] He's a. [01:24:16] You're talking about killing people taking over the world. [01:24:19] Who are you judging right now? [01:24:22] This guy went over there and talked shit about him. [01:24:26] And they fucking picked him up and they said, No, no, he didn't do that. [01:24:30] He wrote some articles. [01:24:31] He's a journalist. [01:24:31] He wrote some articles. [01:24:32] He just wrote some articles. [01:24:33] But the prince. [01:24:35] He was a prince, right? [01:24:36] Huh? [01:24:36] He was a prince or something. [01:24:37] Mohammed bin Salman. [01:24:38] Yeah, right, right, right. [01:24:39] Snowden just wrote a couple articles, too. [01:24:42] Yeah, but he's safe in Russia. [01:24:43] What about Julian Assange? [01:24:45] Julian Assange. [01:24:46] He's in the UK right now. [01:24:48] He's on trial right now. [01:24:49] And the US is trying to get him extradited here. [01:24:52] Just for releasing what? [01:24:55] For releasing footage of. [01:24:57] Oh, the drone strikes. [01:24:58] The fucking drone strikes on people that the U.S. was fucking. [01:25:01] Right. [01:25:02] For showing that the U.S. was doing something that was like. [01:25:05] She's committing murder, bro. [01:25:06] Right, right. [01:25:07] And so they're trying to get him back here and throw him in jail. [01:25:09] Right, that's ridiculous. [01:25:10] For being a journalist. [01:25:11] For being a journalist. [01:25:12] Right. [01:25:12] For exposing you to the U.S. what you shouldn't have been doing. [01:25:15] Right. [01:25:16] Yeah. [01:25:17] It's bad. [01:25:17] And what else happened? [01:25:20] The lawyer that represented a bunch of people for. [01:25:27] He represented tons of indigenous people. [01:25:29] Against a lawsuit against Chevron, I believe it was, for an oil field spill where basically Chevron had an oil spill that affected a bunch of indigenous land and forestry in the United States. [01:25:42] And he fought against Chevron back in the early 1990s. [01:25:47] Oh, is this a young guy? [01:25:48] Was he a young lawyer? [01:25:49] Yeah. [01:25:50] And then he just now, they just now, they're like demonizing him. [01:25:53] He just got sentenced to fucking six months in prison for contempt of court. [01:25:59] And it's insane. [01:26:00] Like, that's never happened. [01:26:01] Fucking, uh, this guy, this guy literally just represented people who lived on indigenous land who got affected by an oil spill from Chevron. [01:26:10] And now he's going to prison for contempt of court for six months. [01:26:13] Fucking, uh, Jeffrey Epstein didn't even go to prison. [01:26:17] He got a fucking sweetheart deal in Florida for fucking molesting kids on his first go around. [01:26:23] Yeah. [01:26:23] And still fucked that up. [01:26:24] And still fucked that up. [01:26:24] And that's how sick he is. [01:26:25] He couldn't even stop. [01:26:26] It just shows, it just shows that a fucking American is run by corporations. [01:26:31] and these corporations will get whatever the fuck they want. [01:26:33] Did you read the book, The Pelican? [01:26:35] Not the movie, but did you ever read The Pelican Brief? [01:26:38] No. [01:26:38] I haven't heard of it. [01:26:39] Oh, it was. [01:26:40] I'm an idiot. [01:26:41] I don't know anybody. [01:26:42] No, and it was John Grisham. [01:26:43] But it was before your time. [01:26:44] But it was basically a law firm represented this. [01:26:52] It was like an oil interest, and they wanted to go into the Everglades and drill for oil in the Everglades. [01:26:59] But because there were pelicans, this certain type of pelican, and they were endangered, They weren't going to be allowed to do it. [01:27:07] They knew that their case was going up to the Supreme Court. [01:27:10] Like they tried to do it. [01:27:11] They got stopped by this young couple, or like a young lawyer had stopped them. [01:27:17] But he had won the case, and the case was going to be decided in the Supreme Court. [01:27:21] But they knew these two Supreme Court judges are a problem for us. [01:27:26] They're going to vote for the Pelicans, and we're not going to be able to drill. [01:27:30] But if they died, and if they both ended up dying, and there were two new judges, Justices appointed that were in our favor, we'll win the Pelican, we'll run the lawsuit and we'll be able to get billions of dollars in oil. [01:27:47] We'll be able to drill. [01:27:48] They actually assassinate two sitting Supreme Court judges in order to have these new judges placed in their place. [01:27:58] It's a great book. [01:28:00] When did this happen? [01:28:01] No, it didn't happen. [01:28:01] It's just called The Pelican Brief. [01:28:03] But I'm saying it's a whole corporate greed type thing. [01:28:06] It's not a real thing, it's fiction, but it's a great story. [01:28:09] They made a movie out of it. [01:28:10] Denzel Washington. [01:28:10] I thought this was actually what happened. [01:28:12] Right, that's the whole thing. [01:28:12] Well, there's tons of stuff like that. [01:28:14] For instance, Tom Clancy wrote a book called Splinter Cell. [01:28:20] Well, he wrote tons of them. [01:28:22] That's the name that we bought. [01:28:23] I'm pretty sure it's also a book. [01:28:25] Well, what was it? [01:28:27] Was it the Dead of Honor? [01:28:29] It was Dead of Honor, where there's a Japanese terrorist that crashes a plane into Congress, right? [01:28:36] And then, like, 10 years later, you've got people crashing planes into buildings. [01:28:41] There's things in these books that were semi predicted prior to that. [01:28:46] That was a terrorist attack, to use a plane filled with gasoline to crash into Congress, wipe out all of Congress. [01:28:54] Instead, These guys hit the World Trade Center, you know, whatever. [01:28:57] When did this book come out? [01:28:58] I want to say it was about 10 years before 9 11. [01:29:01] Wow. [01:29:02] But I mean, that's, you know, you were just connecting dots here. [01:29:04] Well, I'm not saying there's a connection. [01:29:06] I'm just saying that a lot of times these things are. [01:29:07] Well, the 9 11 planes, those all, all of those planes were, they had flight paths. [01:29:13] They were going to Los Angeles. [01:29:15] Yeah. [01:29:16] So they were filled with the water. [01:29:17] They were full of fuel. [01:29:18] Yeah. [01:29:20] Yeah. [01:29:20] Unbelievable. [01:29:21] Yeah. [01:29:21] Whatever. [01:29:22] Lots of stuff going on. [01:29:23] But yeah. [01:29:24] So, I mean, he predicted the whole, hey, did you ever read the book, Jennifer Government? [01:29:29] I've read like three books my whole life. [01:29:31] Okay. [01:29:32] Well, if you get locked up for 10 or 12 years, you're a huge fan of it. [01:29:35] That's why we have you on here because you've read so many books and you're so smart. [01:29:38] Jennifer Government's great. [01:29:39] It's like in the future. [01:29:41] I read Go Dog Go. [01:29:45] One Fish, Two Fish. [01:29:46] One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. [01:29:48] I read The Cookie Monster Cookie Book. [01:29:51] I only have a few books I read every day. [01:29:53] So in Jennifer Government, Nike ends up doing what they call guerrilla marketing where they end up hyping up these shoes, saying that there's a limited amount of the shoes. [01:30:04] Like, we're only producing 10,000 of them. [01:30:06] And they're going to have 500 here and 200 in this store. [01:30:10] So people pack the stores, but they don't have 500. [01:30:13] They have like 5,000. [01:30:16] So they hype it up. [01:30:18] And then what they do to give the shoes street cred, they hire people to kill the first four or five people that end up getting the shoes. [01:30:31] So they shoot them, steal the shoes, and that gives them street cred, so people want them even more. [01:30:37] But they're saying they're limited to maybe 10,000, but really there's like 200,000 or a million shoes. [01:30:43] Yeah. [01:30:43] But people are still pumped. [01:30:45] Supreme. [01:30:45] That's what they do. [01:30:46] That's great. [01:30:46] I mean, it's a great book. [01:30:49] And you have to pay the police to investigate the murders. [01:30:52] So your family gets murdered. [01:30:54] The person that killed your daughter, you want her found. [01:30:56] So you refinance your house, and you have to pay the police to track the people down. [01:31:00] Because unless you can't pay for it, you have to pay for crime. [01:31:04] To pay for it. [01:31:05] It all comes down to the shoes are made in China. [01:31:07] And the shoes actually are called, they're called, I remember they were called Mercuries and they were, they made them for like $1.75 a cents and they were selling them for like $1,500 or $1,800. [01:31:20] Yeah. [01:31:22] The rarity of it is what sells. [01:31:25] The harder they are to get, the more people want them. [01:31:27] But the book has all these. [01:31:29] Supply and demand. [01:31:29] I mean, it's just any typical business model. [01:31:31] The book has all these crazy things. [01:31:33] They have these crazy things that are happening and they're happening. [01:31:36] Like then it's like, that's not, that's happening. [01:31:38] This is happening. [01:31:39] Like these are things that, yeah, it's called Jennifer Government. [01:31:42] Hmm. [01:31:43] I always thought they'd make a movie out of it. [01:31:45] You should make that movie. [01:31:46] There's a lot of books that they should have made movies out of, but they won't because this one was, you know what, funny too, that you had a barcode. [01:31:54] Like, oh no, Jennifer Government has like a, she has a barcode right here. [01:31:58] Oh, and your surnames are whoever you work for. [01:32:01] So if you worked for Nike, then your name would be Danny Nike. [01:32:05] So everybody's named like, like this guy works for the NRA. [01:32:07] It's like his name's Matt NRA. [01:32:10] You know, then you've got, you know, Shane Unemployed. [01:32:17] That's how it is. === Facebook Rebranding Efforts (16:10) === [01:32:18] Yeah. [01:32:18] Right. [01:32:18] So, you know shane Concrete. [01:32:20] Yeah. [01:32:21] Exactly. [01:32:21] So that's what happens. [01:32:22] And then when you change your job, you get a new surname. [01:32:25] The whole thing is insane. [01:32:26] Oh, there are gangs of kids that are like in a gang, and Nike and McDonald's will pay you to tattoo their symbol or I'm sorry, their emblem. [01:32:36] Is it emblem? [01:32:36] What would you call it? [01:32:37] Logo. [01:32:37] Logo, whatever, on you. [01:32:39] And so you're basically with a gang. [01:32:41] People are getting beat up because they're going into McDonald's and they're like, you know, you're McDonald's or Burger King? [01:32:46] I'm going over here to McDonald's. [01:32:47] And then they jump in, they start beating the guy out. [01:32:49] I'm Chick fil A, bitch. [01:32:51] Interesting. [01:32:52] Matt, did you watch Squid Games? [01:32:54] No, and everybody told me I have to watch it. [01:32:57] I don't, you know, I do like the concept. [01:33:00] He's the Squid Game director, creator, is beefing with LeBron James. [01:33:06] Do you know who LeBron James is? [01:33:07] Yeah, I know who LeBron James is. [01:33:10] He's beefing with the creator of Squid Games because LeBron said the ending was lame. [01:33:16] He's watching. [01:33:17] Okay, we got Flea Flicker here. [01:33:18] We're watching the Packers game. [01:33:20] LeBron said that. [01:33:22] The ending sucked. [01:33:23] The guy should have gotten the plane and went and saw his daughter. [01:33:26] And this WID game guy made some sort of statement. [01:33:28] It's like, well, you should remake the whole series and do your own ending then, LeBron James. [01:33:33] Maybe you'd have. [01:33:36] So now they're just going back and forth. [01:33:37] I think that was all there was. [01:33:39] It's funny. [01:33:40] I don't know if there's anything else, but it's funny that it's like an internet beef now. [01:33:49] What's going on? [01:33:50] What are we doing? [01:33:51] I'm pretty drunk. [01:33:52] Are you good? [01:33:54] I'm pretty buzzed up. [01:33:55] I didn't drink very much. [01:33:57] YouTube has got some competition finally. [01:33:59] Who's that? [01:34:00] Spotify. [01:34:03] Why? [01:34:03] What are they doing? [01:34:03] What do you mean? [01:34:05] So, starting today, every episode of this podcast. [01:34:10] Right. [01:34:11] Will be on Spotify? [01:34:11] Well, it's always been on Spotify, but now you get all the video as well. [01:34:17] Oh, okay. [01:34:17] So, the video. [01:34:18] So, now Spotify is rolling out video for podcasts. [01:34:21] So, if you have a video podcast on YouTube that was only available previously with audio on Spotify, now Spotify is. [01:34:27] Gives podcasts the option to have video. [01:34:31] Is it monetized? [01:34:32] Yeah, it's monetized. [01:34:34] Yes. [01:34:34] So Spotify gives ads on your podcasts now. [01:34:39] So we have ads that are running on our Spotify episodes, and you get the video, the same video you get on YouTube, you get it on Spotify on the concrete podcast. [01:34:49] What about that? [01:34:50] So YouTube's got a little bit of competition now, which is a good thing because they've been, you know, obviously it's a fucking giant tech monopoly when no one has, you know, any way of competing. [01:34:59] And Spotify is a, I think it's a Beijing-owned company. [01:35:03] No, it's not Beijing. [01:35:05] That'd be funny if it was Beijing. [01:35:08] It's a, it's a, it's a, where is it? [01:35:11] Not Denmark, but what's the other, what's the other? [01:35:13] Finland. [01:35:14] Not Finland, not Denmark. [01:35:16] Norway? [01:35:17] Swedish. [01:35:18] I think it's a Swedish company. [01:35:20] Did you, I mean, Not that that's not interesting. [01:35:23] I think that is interesting. [01:35:24] Yeah, so you should be getting your video on Spotify now. [01:35:27] I got to talk to Colby. [01:35:29] Who's Colby? [01:35:29] Colby is the guy who does everything for me. [01:35:32] I love it. [01:35:33] He does all the videos, he shoots the videos, he puts everything up. [01:35:37] Where does he live? [01:35:39] Lakeland. [01:35:39] Lakeland? [01:35:40] Lakeland. [01:35:40] Oh, oh, oh. [01:35:41] Yeah. [01:35:42] Well, about an hour drive. [01:35:44] It's an hour drive. [01:35:46] So he comes over every two weeks and we shoot videos for a whole day and then we put them up. [01:35:50] Every two weeks he comes over? [01:35:52] Sometimes every week. [01:35:53] Well, not very often. [01:35:55] On average, basically, about every two weeks. [01:35:57] Maybe he might come two weeks in a row, but typically we're trying to get it down so it's every two weeks. [01:36:03] But did you hear about the YouTube that they're supposed to be rolling out? [01:36:05] Did you hear it's the thanks button or the appreciation button? [01:36:11] They used to call it the applause button. [01:36:12] Now they're calling it the appreciation button. [01:36:13] Did you hear that? [01:36:14] No. [01:36:14] So they want to add an additional button. [01:36:18] So you have the thumbs up, the thumbs down, and then you can share your video. [01:36:22] They have another one that they're rolling out right now. [01:36:25] Some channels already have it where you can click on it and you can donate money. [01:36:30] So it's already connected. [01:36:31] You can donate like $3.50. [01:36:33] Are they selling live streams and shit? [01:36:35] No, no. [01:36:35] This is regular. [01:36:36] Oh, really? [01:36:36] So if they're just watching this video and somebody goes, man, that's a good video, I'm going to go ahead and give Danny. [01:36:40] Give him a tip. [01:36:41] Yeah, it's like a tip. [01:36:41] Boom. [01:36:42] But it goes like in increments. [01:36:43] It's like $3.90, $7, $12, $22. [01:36:48] And shit. [01:36:49] The numbers are weird. [01:36:51] $49, like up to like $49 or $50. [01:36:53] Yeah. [01:36:54] Wow. [01:36:54] Like I would love that. [01:36:56] Yeah. [01:36:56] Because two bucks is nothing. [01:36:58] Yeah, the doctor would be like, The doctor knows how to tip. [01:37:01] The doctor is a tipper. [01:37:02] Yeah, he is. [01:37:03] I told you he came here with the green, with the Lamborghini. [01:37:06] We went out to, bro. [01:37:09] Yeah, you know, he, he, I remember he was like, Come on, bro, you want to go drive the, come on, drive the car. [01:37:12] I was like, I don't want to drive the car. [01:37:13] He rented it? [01:37:14] Yeah, he rented it. [01:37:15] You want to drive it? [01:37:17] I mean, you know, obviously I did want to drive it. [01:37:19] But I didn't. [01:37:20] You didn't drive it? [01:37:21] No, because I'd have to drive that car and then I got to get back in my car and feel like I was driving the. [01:37:25] Yeah, but at least you did it. [01:37:27] Yeah. [01:37:28] The Lamborghini is not even really that, that, like, that exciting anymore because the Teslas, The Teslas smoke Lamborghinis now. [01:37:34] I don't care. [01:37:35] It's still cool as fuck. [01:37:36] Yeah, it's cool. [01:37:36] You're saying you're driving a Lamborghini. [01:37:37] It's like a piece of art. [01:37:38] It's like driving a Mona Lisa. [01:37:39] Right. [01:37:40] It was amazing. [01:37:40] I mean, just seeing the car. [01:37:42] I mean, he got, listen, he was funny. [01:37:45] Yeah, but the Teslas fucking smoke Lamborghinis now. [01:37:49] Really? [01:37:49] Any of the Teslas. [01:37:50] Yeah, off the line. [01:37:51] They'll fucking, they're zero to 60 is way faster than a Lambo. [01:37:56] They were top speed. [01:37:57] They don't look like a Lambo, though. [01:37:58] That's right. [01:37:59] They don't quite look like a Lambo. [01:38:01] That's true. [01:38:01] Yeah. [01:38:03] Yeah, we're getting my wife's getting the new Tesla Model X. [01:38:05] I don't even know what that is. [01:38:07] It's what it is. [01:38:08] It's the one with the fucking gull wings, the one with the bat wings, the sea gull wings, the sea gull wings. [01:38:14] Is it a coupe? [01:38:15] No, it's the SUV, the biggest one they have. [01:38:18] It's a four door. [01:38:19] It's a four door. [01:38:20] An SUV? [01:38:20] I didn't even know they had an SUV. [01:38:21] It's like a midsize SUV. [01:38:23] It's like a hatchback. [01:38:23] It looks like a hatchback, kind of, but it's the biggest Tesla that's currently available. [01:38:27] And it's got the back wings that are like gull wings that come up. [01:38:30] Cool. [01:38:30] Badass. [01:38:32] It's faster than a Lambo. [01:38:34] We're running out of time, Matt? [01:38:35] I'm not running out of time, but. [01:38:37] I mean, how long is this podcast? [01:38:40] Are we running out of stuff? [01:38:41] What are we doing? [01:38:41] Well, you only got here at 8 and it's 9 30. [01:38:43] I got here at 7 40. [01:38:47] Should we wrap it up? [01:38:47] It's up to you. [01:38:48] I mean, you got some. [01:38:50] What else do you want to talk about? [01:38:51] I'm ready to go. [01:38:52] Let's keep talking. [01:38:53] Facebook just changed their name to. [01:38:56] What are you doing? [01:38:57] Meta. [01:38:57] Meta. [01:38:58] No, they didn't. [01:38:58] Yeah, they did. [01:38:59] They just changed their name to Meta. [01:39:01] What are you talking about? [01:39:02] Facebook changed their name to Meta because. [01:39:05] Pull up this video of Elon Musk talking, Aiden. [01:39:08] God damn it. [01:39:09] Let me change the. [01:39:10] God damn it. [01:39:11] God damn it, Aiden. [01:39:14] PC? [01:39:15] Facebook. [01:39:16] Mark Zuckerberg just got on YouTube, got on the internet, and said he's changed the name of Facebook because Facebook has such bad rap. [01:39:22] Of just being like, that's the Tesla. [01:39:24] That's the Tesla I got right there. [01:39:27] Look at the back doors. [01:39:30] Pretty cool. [01:39:33] No Lambo. [01:39:34] No Lambo. [01:39:35] Anyways, Facebook's now called Meta. [01:39:39] You got to show Matt the video. [01:39:40] Am I believing this? [01:39:41] You got to show Matt the video. [01:39:43] Because Facebook is so synonymous for like right now they have such this bad. [01:39:47] But that's not going to help. [01:39:48] People are going to be like, oh, this is new. [01:39:50] It's going to help. [01:39:51] We'll watch Mark Zuckerberg. [01:39:52] They probably will. [01:39:53] Mark Zuckerberg's got a great sales pitch for it. [01:39:56] He's saying, you know, we're all about expanding the metaverse. [01:39:59] Watch this shit, bro. [01:40:01] Watch this. [01:40:11] He's so creepy. [01:40:23] This is gonna get memed so hard Bro, talk about a total not connect. [01:40:36] Like, I mean, he should have hired somebody for this. [01:40:37] Yeah. [01:40:38] What the fuck did he do? [01:40:39] Look at his surfboard in the background. [01:40:41] I told him to do this. [01:40:41] Yes. [01:40:42] The surfboard makes him more human. [01:40:45] Not anymore. [01:40:45] He looks like a not anymore. [01:40:48] His hair looks like an avatar. [01:40:49] His hair looks like it's painted on. [01:40:52] Yeah, there's some new, like, virtual reality thing. [01:41:00] He's trying to create, like, a virtual reality social media platform. [01:41:10] I just came. [01:41:11] An add in, one second. [01:41:16] Look at this. [01:41:31] Hey Mark! [01:41:35] They're playing poker. [01:41:37] Who made this place? [01:41:38] You did. [01:41:50] Oh, this is so bad. [01:42:06] Shane, would you play this poker match right here? [01:42:10] Why? [01:42:14] You wouldn't shoot dice with those people? [01:42:19] This is called the metaverse, Matt Cox. [01:42:21] So this is the metaverse, but he's not. [01:42:24] They're trying to purge the boomers. [01:42:27] They're changing the name from Facebook. [01:42:29] Because it's full of boomers and it's full of like. [01:42:31] Okay, so they're trying to update it. [01:42:35] That's a rebrand because Facebook's got this bad rap right now in the media for being a fucking shitty company. [01:42:40] Look at the Vice headlines. [01:42:42] Vice's objective. [01:42:57] You name it. [01:42:57] He wants to make the world an NFT. [01:43:01] He looks fake. [01:43:02] Yeah, he does. [01:43:05] Guys, fucking alien, bro. [01:43:07] This is like me reading my stories. [01:43:10] Like, I don't do it because I'm not good at it. [01:43:13] He looks like he's been hitting the iron neck. [01:43:15] No. [01:43:17] Does he have the iron neck? [01:43:19] Yeah, he's probably a robot. [01:43:29] Packers up 10 7. [01:43:33] Woo! [01:43:35] You interviewed the guy that wrote social media, right? [01:43:37] Social network. [01:43:38] Social network. [01:43:39] Yeah, yeah, yeah. [01:43:47] And Bitcoin billionaires. [01:43:49] Right. [01:43:49] He fucked over those two guys, the Winklevoss twins. [01:43:52] Yeah. [01:43:54] He basically paid them off like a couple billion dollars. [01:43:56] They invested it all in Bitcoin and now they're fucking Bitcoin billionaires. [01:44:01] Trillionaires. [01:44:05] Yeah. [01:44:05] So it's now called Meta. [01:44:06] What are your thoughts on that, Matt Cox? [01:44:08] Are you joining? [01:44:09] I don't know. [01:44:09] This is going to be a great Facebook. [01:44:11] Sounds like I already joined. [01:44:12] You're already in. [01:44:13] If you're already a member of Facebook, probably, I'm pretty sure. [01:44:19] You're killing me with this. [01:44:20] Look, I still have a Facebook app. [01:44:21] It still says Facebook. [01:44:23] You still use Facebook because you're a boomer. [01:44:25] Me and Shane don't use Facebook. [01:44:26] No, you use Meta. [01:44:27] So it didn't change. [01:44:28] I use Facebook. [01:44:29] I use Facebook for the marketplace. [01:44:30] Facebook Marketplace, where you buy shit locally. [01:44:34] It's like local Craigslist. [01:44:35] Facebook Marketplace has got to be crushing Craigslist, bro. [01:44:39] No, bro. [01:44:40] My wife buys stuff on Facebook Marketplace, keeps it for a year, sells it a year later for more than what she bought it for. [01:44:47] Nice. [01:44:50] It's pretty insane. [01:44:54] Well, I mean, I'm sorry. [01:44:57] I'm sorry. [01:44:57] I still have Facebook. [01:44:59] I still have Facebook. [01:45:00] So, how do they change the name? [01:45:02] They just haven't done it yet. [01:45:04] Soon they're going to be, yeah, they're going to roll out the name change. [01:45:06] They changed the fucking sign in front of their fucking headquarters on Hacker Boulevard. [01:45:13] And, well, they got this such a bad rap in the media and in the world lately for being just such a shithole company. [01:45:21] As far as like disinformation, their algorithms, like keeping people in these echo chambers and creating all this like division. [01:45:29] Sounds like some China shit. [01:45:30] When it comes to elections and the guys working at Facebook's jumping out the fucking window, they put nets up. [01:45:37] No, it's not like that at Facebook. [01:45:38] Trust me. [01:45:40] And they have the fucking algorithms that keep people in their echo chambers. [01:45:47] And yeah, they just have a bad rap. [01:45:49] So I think. [01:45:50] Part of the reason they're changing the game. [01:45:53] Echo chambers? [01:45:54] What did you say? [01:45:55] Echo chambers? [01:45:55] Gas chambers. [01:45:57] No. [01:45:57] No, that's Matt's translation of it. [01:45:59] Yeah, echo chambers. [01:46:01] That's because the algorithms, the way they work is they keep you in echo chambers. [01:46:07] So if you're on Facebook and you're Matt Cox and you're on there and you fucking hate liberals or you hate Donald Trump, right? [01:46:15] You're going to keep clicking on all these articles and looking at all these memes about fucking anti Trump and why Trump sucks. [01:46:22] And they're going to keep, they see you hate that. [01:46:23] They feed you, they're going to keep feeding you that stuff and keep, they're not going to feed you any sort of varying opinions. [01:46:29] I kind of assumed that was it. [01:46:31] That's why with everybody's talking about it. [01:46:32] It's obvious. [01:46:32] It's obvious. [01:46:33] Right. [01:46:34] And they're doing it in a way, that's how they make more money because they know what you're going to click on. [01:46:38] They're not going to feed you any sort of alternative opinions, any sort of anything that pushes back on what you already believe. [01:46:45] So obviously, have you seen the documentary on Netflix called The Social Dilemma? [01:46:51] Social Dilemma? [01:46:52] You got to watch it. [01:46:53] I haven't watched it, but I saw this. [01:46:55] It's all about the algorithms on social media and how basically the social media algorithms that Facebook created and now is on Instagram and Twitter and everywhere else, these algorithms are generated. [01:47:07] They're there to make more money for these companies. [01:47:10] They make more money because people click on more shit, right? [01:47:13] And you feed the people that, if I want you to click on shit, I'm going to give you shit that you like. [01:47:16] I'm not going to give you anything else that you don't like. [01:47:18] Thank you. [01:47:18] And that creates more people, it creates more division and divide in the country. [01:47:23] And then you have companies in Russia. [01:47:26] That are like these meme factories. [01:47:29] Like, I always thought that Instagram page called This Typical Liberal was one of them. [01:47:34] But it's basically like it's called The Typical Liberal. [01:47:36] And it's an Instagram page that just creates memes shitting on left shit or Joe Biden or any kind of thing. [01:47:43] It's all about like they show people shooting machine guns and showing them what, like America, machine guns and Joe Biden's a dumbass and shit on him. [01:47:52] And it's just like all cowed, you know, it all just panders to this right wing ideology. [01:47:59] And there's companies in Russia that create these memes that serve them to Facebook and Instagram and create this echo chamber that just gets people to fucking fester on these ideologies and on these memes and on these links and on these articles. [01:48:18] What's created and that's what's created all this divide going on in our culture right now, and it's basically like it's separating America. === Anonymous Message Boards (02:59) === [01:48:28] See that, but I can see that, but it's creating chaos in America, right? [01:48:33] It's a slow burn, like you said, Russia and China, they're playing the long term game. [01:48:41] Yeah, well, I said China, but I, yeah, Russia and China, and that's the shit that creates like the whole QAnon. [01:48:48] You know what QAnon is? [01:48:49] Yeah. [01:48:50] I just had that guy on the podcast two days ago, the guy who made that documentary on HBO called Q Into the Storm. [01:48:55] And he's in QAnon? [01:48:57] No, he did a documentary on the QAnon conspiracy and how that culminated in the January 6th attack on the Capitol. [01:49:05] Did you? [01:49:06] And the guy with the fucking horn, the Q shaman, the guy that was sitting in the desk in the Capitol. [01:49:10] Yeah, yeah. [01:49:11] Did you release it yet? [01:49:12] No, no, I haven't released it yet. [01:49:13] I just recorded it a couple days ago. [01:49:15] I'm actually not going to release it until late November because his documentary is going to be released like. [01:49:20] Wider than you're gonna do it simultaneously to help, yeah. [01:49:24] It's already on HBO, but it's gonna be on like a lot more platforms late, uh, late November. [01:49:28] But that was a fucking crazy thing. [01:49:29] Like, like there's these, there's these, um, these things, these chans, they're called chans on the internet, like where there was like 4chan, 8chan, now it's called 8coon, where like these, like these message boards where people remain anonymous and you can post whatever the fuck you want. [01:49:44] They don't collect any of your data, you're completely anonymous, and it's like the fucking, it's just a hellhole. [01:49:51] On the internet, where people can post these photos, videos, the most fucked up shit, like murders, and there's the fucking Hitler frogs and everything. [01:49:59] And these Chans. [01:50:00] Why did you point at me when you said Hitler frogs? [01:50:03] What is a Hitler frog? [01:50:04] You ever seen the fucking Pepe the Frog meme with the fucking swastika armband? [01:50:09] No, I think I have seen it. [01:50:10] Yeah. [01:50:13] And these Chans are where this Q thing started on 8chan. [01:50:18] And he just does a deep dive into this thing and finds out who. [01:50:23] He gets like in beds with this guy, this kid who lives in Japan who started 8chan. [01:50:32] And it's a charge, right? [01:50:33] Here we go. [01:50:34] And he is his basic. [01:50:37] I don't want to like spoil the whole documentary. [01:50:38] It's a fucking phenomenal documentary. [01:50:40] And it shows, it explains like the erosion of privacy on social media and how it's created all this stuff. [01:50:46] And the guy essentially who created 8chan who lives in Japan, right? [01:50:52] Who is Q. After doing his documentary, he has come to the conclusion that this guy is. [01:50:58] The main guy that nobody really knows who it is. [01:51:00] Who is claiming to be cute. [01:51:01] This guy's now running for fucking Congress in Arizona. [01:51:09] Nice. [01:51:10] It's fucking crazy shit, bro. [01:51:11] He's infiltrating. [01:51:12] Cue into the storm. [01:51:14] You gotta watch the documentary. [01:51:15] It's fucking insane. [01:51:17] Yeah, I do. [01:51:18] I need to watch a lot of documentaries. [01:51:20] I've got like four documentaries that are on a list. [01:51:24] I've been to people. [01:51:25] Oh, you gotta watch this. [01:51:26] You gotta watch this. [01:51:26] You gotta watch that. === Privacy Erosion Documentary (04:39) === [01:51:27] And I do. [01:51:27] I need to do it when I paint. [01:51:29] I need to paint. [01:51:30] Turn on documentary that way, I can paint and listen to the documentary. [01:51:33] Yeah, I just don't, I've just been going non stop for the last like week or two. [01:51:38] How do you what do you listen to when you paint typically? [01:51:40] Do you listen to music? [01:51:41] No, I typically listen to documentaries, but like I like World War II documentaries or I feel like I was happier when I never listened to podcasts or books or documentaries. [01:51:52] I feel like I was it was a better life when I just listened to music and fucking didn't think You know when I was dumber less educated and just like listen to music and like vibing to music and just only cared about surfing and skating I feel like life was better I mean it probably that probably was better It probably does yeah, that's nice and you know you don't really you know Concerning about anything. [01:52:14] I was more creative. [01:52:16] You know, I was. [01:52:17] I, you know, you, I was looking at those, the commercials you were sending me. [01:52:21] Oh, yeah. [01:52:21] That you did, like, some good commercials, bro. [01:52:24] I was like, this is funny because this is like, this is like professional quality, but with a real twist on everything. [01:52:31] Everything, everything has is comical. [01:52:34] Like, almost everything about every one of those commercials was comical. [01:52:38] And I was like, but they were done, but, but they weren't done like in a, in a, in a chintzy kind of way. [01:52:43] Like, it wasn't like a candid kind of. [01:52:46] You know, like a half ass commercial. [01:52:48] They were all like the production was really good, but they were all comical. [01:52:51] Everything had a comical edge to it. [01:52:53] Right. [01:52:54] It was funny. [01:52:54] So that's what I used to love doing. [01:52:56] That's all I used to do is make those kind of videos. [01:52:59] What are you doing now, though? [01:53:00] You're all your podcasts with you. [01:53:01] I just do these podcasts, bro. [01:53:03] That's all I do. [01:53:04] No, see, that's what I see. [01:53:06] That's the kind of thing you say, and that's what I thought was happening. [01:53:09] Remember, we talked about it earlier? [01:53:11] You were saying that like all the media, all the other advertising stuff was blowing up. [01:53:17] You were saying you were doing a whole bunch of other stuff, and I was like, I am. [01:53:20] I am. [01:53:20] I'm running. [01:53:21] I have an ad agency as well. [01:53:24] I mean, the only thing I do is this podcast, and then I run an advertising agency for various companies and startup companies and brands and shit like that. [01:53:34] And that takes up a lot of fucking time. [01:53:36] Right. [01:53:36] Right. [01:53:37] That's, and it was like a year ago or something that I, when COVID had hit and we did a podcast, and I remember that Shane had said something along the lines of, I was like, like we were talking about. [01:53:50] What did Shane say? [01:53:51] It was something about COVID or something. [01:53:53] Somehow or another, I got the impression because I talked to you. [01:53:56] I didn't talk to Danny. [01:53:57] We were talking about COVID and just, you know, this is craziness and this and that. [01:54:01] And you had said something like, like something along the lines of like, yeah, Danny's, I don't want to say hit hard or Danny lost some, or Danny lost like a deal or two or something like that because of COVID. [01:54:15] You motherfucker. [01:54:16] Well, I'm just, like I said, I'm not positive, but I remember because you had said something and in my mind, whatever it was you said, Made me think, oh wow, like all these people he's doing advertising work for, like, right, like they're not advertising or maybe they're closing or like the car dealership isn't open, so we don't need a commercial this, you know, this, whatever. [01:54:42] I don't do work for, I don't do like one off jobs for like car dealerships. [01:54:46] All my fucking. [01:54:47] You're being specific. [01:54:48] I'm saying, I don't remember whatever it was. [01:54:50] I remember thinking, oh man. [01:54:51] Of course I'm being specific. [01:54:52] Why wouldn't I be specific? [01:54:53] No, you're being specific. [01:54:55] I'm saying. [01:54:55] I don't remember exactly what it was, but whatever. [01:54:57] I do remember talking to Shane, and he said something that had me thinking, oh man, Danny's like in a jam. [01:55:04] Like, oh, that's messed up. [01:55:05] It's jammed up. [01:55:06] Yeah, because I thought of COVID. [01:55:08] But then when we talked and I was on the way here, you were like, bro, what? [01:55:13] You had said something about the podcast or something. [01:55:15] I was like, oh man, why haven't you done any podcasts lately? [01:55:19] And you were like, bro, I'm so busy doing this and this and this. [01:55:22] And I was like, I thought you weren't doing well. [01:55:24] And you were like, you were like, Why do you think that? [01:55:26] I was like, well, Shane had something said like a year ago. [01:55:29] He got loose lips, likes to talk shit about people. [01:55:31] He wasn't talking shit. [01:55:32] He just happened to, you're turning this into something. [01:55:35] Anyway, but I just remember thinking something had happened. [01:55:37] I was way off because you said you've been kicking ass ever since. [01:55:41] And whatever it was, I messed up and misunderstood. [01:55:43] I don't even remember what you said, but I remember in my mind, you weren't doing like you were only doing the podcast. [01:55:49] Yeah. [01:55:50] But obviously, that's not what happened. [01:55:51] So I was way off on that. [01:55:52] Not at all. [01:55:53] The advertising shit's taken off like 10 times. [01:55:54] I don't remember what you said, but I got something from you that was like, I was like, oh man, that's too bad. [01:56:00] Like he must be focusing more on the podcast. [01:56:04] Yeah. [01:56:05] I wish I was. [01:56:05] Yeah. [01:56:05] I should be focusing more on the podcast. === Misunderstood Podcast Progress (01:12) === [01:56:07] Yeah. [01:56:07] You said this is fun. [01:56:08] This is way more fun. [01:56:09] Yeah. [01:56:10] But our time's run out, Matt. [01:56:13] And my back, this chair that is good for your back is killing me. [01:56:16] Why is it killing you? [01:56:17] That chair's fucked. [01:56:19] It's not a hard chair. [01:56:21] I wouldn't pay fucking $90 for that chair. [01:56:23] Maybe you have to sit on it in a certain way or something. [01:56:26] We've got to go back to the game. [01:56:27] Lean back or something. [01:56:29] The chair's whack. [01:56:31] It hurts my back. [01:56:32] I can't sit. [01:56:33] And I'm hunching forward. [01:56:36] It's not a good situation. [01:56:38] Why? [01:56:39] It's a piece of shit. [01:56:40] Because it hurts my back. [01:56:40] I think it's a nice chair. [01:56:41] It feels good to me. [01:56:44] It makes your posture better. [01:56:45] Imagine if you're sitting in his chair. [01:56:47] People would think you were like five foot if you sat in his chair. [01:56:49] He's sitting down. [01:56:50] He's the goddamn hunchback of Seminole over here. [01:56:54] You're the tallest one here. [01:56:57] He's a six foot three hunchback. [01:57:00] What are we doing? [01:57:01] We're done. [01:57:03] Tell everybody where we can watch your new podcast.
