| Evening, everybody. | |
| Welcome to your... | |
| Oh, yes, you are. | |
| Friday Night Live. | |
| Yes, 22nd of November 2024. 221124. Sounds like a cha-cha-cha step. | |
| And have I seen the South Korean film Parasite? | |
| What are your thoughts? | |
| It's a good film. | |
| Actually, it was a good film. | |
| Memorable, surprising, interesting, good writing, great acting. | |
| And it is one of the films that's realistic about the poor. | |
| I mean, let me ask you your experience. | |
| If you've spent much time, and Lord knows I have, if you've spent much time around the poor, What are your thoughts? | |
| What are your thoughts on the poor as a whole? | |
| And I'm not just, I'm not talking about the people who have a hard time making men's meat. | |
| I'm like really poor, like no car, rent control, apartment, squeezing together every thin dime. | |
| What are your thoughts if you spend significant time around the poor? | |
| I'm not talking about the voluntary poor, right? | |
| I'm not talking about the people who are all going to write the great Canadian novels, so I'm going to take my time off from working, but the poor. | |
| What has been your experience of the poor as a whole? | |
| I'm curious. | |
| I have some thoughts, but it is, of course, a show for which I would love to hear your thoughts. | |
| A lot of the poor are just lazy, they don't listen either, very hedonistic. | |
| I was thinking about your assessment of the poor in your last podcast. | |
| I must say I agree. | |
| Many I grew up around and spent time with were into drugs, unable to hold down jobs, and hated their landlords. | |
| They are into instant gratification. | |
| And it's not just an IQ thing, but it certainly has something to do with it. | |
| Of course, nothing's a just-one-exclamation thing, right? | |
| They have friends with bad habits that they don't want to say no to. | |
| Most poor people are suffering consequences of their past actions. | |
| I have in passing, says someone. | |
| I do some volunteer work in soup kitchens. | |
| There's some serious dysfunctional people. | |
| my last volunteer day, a guy was dragged out by the cops for being simply crazy. | |
| Right. | |
| You want to know the biggest difference between the poor and the wealthy? | |
| you Thank you. | |
| It is one word only. | |
| What is the difference between the poor and the wealthy? | |
| And I say this having had brutal decades of experience in this manner. | |
| Responsibility? | |
| I don't think so. | |
| Accountability? | |
| Mm-mm. | |
| Mm-mm. | |
| Somebody says, you have to adopt everything they believe, at least outwardly, otherwise they view you as an enemy. | |
| You must like rap, hate the rich, assume all upward mobility is luck, and they will be unlucky, so better off just doing drugs. | |
| I tell you why my family was poor when I was a kid. | |
| My parents gambled and took out a ton of loans and leases on cars. | |
| Someone says, I let a poor comedian live with me for a year, giving him cheap rent. | |
| He was alright until I wanted to get serious about starting a family with my girlfriend and began to disrespect every rule of the house and I was forced to kick him out. | |
| The wealthy by lobbyists. | |
| Now, what's the words you're thinking? | |
| Discipline, agency, arrogance, tenacity, sacrifice, the rich are sensitive to shunning. | |
| Ah, what's the one thing the poor people will always say when you begin to, oh, you just think you're too good for us now? | |
| Oh, you just think you're too good for us now? | |
| Yeah. | |
| So, I will tell you, and I, this is a, um, This is a thesis that I will stand by. | |
| It doesn't mean that I'm right. |
