I could hear your voice in my headphones

0:03

from this, this car thing I'm editing.

0:06

So, it was like,

0:09

I thought I got to a part in the take where you just said hello.

0:13

Like what?

0:14

What does anyone watching?

0:17

Am I famous now?

0:19

How are you doing?

0:21

How's your flight back?

0:22

Oh, it was fine.

0:23

It was, that's a really easy flight.

0:26

Yeah. I'm good.

0:28

I got you there way too early.

0:30

Yeah, but, I mean, you know, it's.

0:33

You knew.

0:34

You know it, right?

0:35

But, I've experienced nothing but quick,

0:38

you know, it's, egress is in out grasses,

0:44

in grasses and and grasses.

0:46

Yeah. Yeah.

0:48

According to, the world at large,

0:51

it's mass panic and everything's on fire, so I'll just.

0:54

I'll go with that. I.

0:56

I think you're just lying.

0:57

And that there's no way we could be going around the moon

1:02

right now again, because we never did in the first place.

1:05

Oh, shit.

1:05

They're supposed to get there today, right?

1:08

Yeah.

1:08

Apparently they fixed their toilet issue, and, you know, they're

1:12

they did that thing that all astronauts do when they

1:14

see the Earth from afar and they go, man, this is really special.

1:18

We should probably start blowing it up.

1:20

And then people go, that's that's great.

1:23

That's great.

1:23

You think that and then they just keep dropping bombs on each other.

1:27

So then they're reminded

1:28

that their toilets run by Microsoft, so they can't fucking log in to flush it.

1:34

Clippy says in know.

1:36

It's like you're trying to take a dump.

1:38

You want me to help with that?

1:39

Yeah.

1:39

Starts hallucinating.

1:43

I ejected the airlock.

1:45

Oops. My bad.

1:48

It looked like you were a little too cold in here.

1:52

Want me to warm you up?

1:54

I watched this other video about, like, the actual base.

1:58

They're.

1:58

They're trying to build and all this other stuff, and.

2:01

But at the same time, you're watching these videos

2:03

that are giving me, like, all this hope for the future of like, oh my God, like,

2:06

well, actually have people living on the moon within our lifetime.

2:09

And they're like, government smashes the budget of NASA's.

2:12

So they're going to be like, we have a prefab.

2:16

We can send that to you.

2:17

And this old World War Two plane.

2:19

That's that's all you have to take to the moon.

2:22

So good luck.

2:23

They should do like, almost like a, a study abroad program

2:27

or like a, a Peace Corps type thing where they send legislators from both

2:32

sides of the aisle in a capsule into space so they can see things from above.

2:38

And so they come back, they

2:40

they spout the hippie dippy shit that astronauts do, or they're like,

2:44

I've seen what it looks like when a world is united and all this stuff.

2:48

So it's just at least there's some people who have experience that

2:53

and aren't just like, you know, we should

2:56

we should cut funding for children and puppies.

2:59

Would it be.

3:00

Cheaper just to legalize psilocybin?

3:02

Yeah, but.

3:05

I mean, maybe just both to be safe.

3:08

I mean, just to have them do what mushrooms and spacey say.

3:11

Yeah.

3:12

Even if it's that.

3:13

Like what? That Felix guy did for Redbull.

3:15

Just jam full of mushrooms and a little bit of MDMA.

3:20

That's the guy that jumped off at the edge of space.

3:22

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

3:24

I mean, that's the thing is, like, we could

3:26

we can save a little bit of money. We don't have to use the rocket.

3:28

We just send them up on that little, you know, hot air balloon.

3:31

I'm just saying, if you're already like,

3:33

you know, you're already launching some communication satellite

3:37

or some other, you know, dome system,

3:40

of weapons of mass destruction, you just

3:43

you send up some legislators up there, you send up

3:46

Ben Shapiro or whoever and trying, you know, change their mind about things.

3:51

Right?

3:51

But then, you know, within three hours of them

3:54

hanging out at a Raising cane's, they're going to be miserable and hate everybody.

3:58

Yeah. So, yeah, that's true.

4:00

Not much you can do about that.

4:01

Hate them from ground level.

4:03

Yeah, I saw funny articles just, you know, going through my,

4:06

my regular newsfeed as I do.

4:09

And The Verge wrote a thing about how, you know, is this a copyright nightmare

4:14

which, like you know, I've messed with it and tried uploading stuff and it's like,

4:17

no, you can't do that.

4:18

And it gets, it, you know, slaps your hand if you try to upload like a copyright

4:22

and song and try to cover it or whatever, which is like, I asked for.

4:26

But the whole article

4:27

talking about how it's a copyright nightmare to run this thing,

4:30

and then they give you all these tips on how to get around the copyright.

4:34

But it was coming from like a finger waving place,

4:37

but I don't know, it felt almost more like The Anarchist Cookbook of yeah.

4:41

Don't do this, but here's how. This is illegal.

4:44

You you should know how to do this so that no one ever does it.

4:48

I was like,

4:49

I don't know if that was their intention because I just I have the feelings.

4:52

The verge is a very anti I everything, no matter what.

4:58

But it was just strange.

4:59

They went into so much detail about how to rip artists off, so I don't know.

5:05

Anyway, don't do that.

5:06

Don't learn from them and don't upload,

5:11

Black Sabbath's Paranoid or Aquas Barbie girl.

5:14

That's what the article says. Don't do that.

5:16

It's an anarchist cookbook.

5:18

Even like that revolutionary anymore.

5:22

Is it like The Catcher in the Rye, where it's just this thing?

5:26

It's like,

5:27

here's how to kill someone's grass permanently, you know, that kind of stuff?

5:30

Or is it actually like,

5:31

I know there's some stuff about Molotov cocktails and things in there, but.

5:35

It's one of those things I've never actually read.

5:37

I know. I haven't. Either.

5:38

I've probably read more of, The Unabomber Manifesto than I have of

5:43

The Anarchist Cookbook, and I read.

5:44

More Minecraft than The Anarchist Cookbook.

5:47

You know, welcome to another episode of things I Shouldn't Admit on a podcast.

5:51

But yeah, it's.

5:52

Like I'm adhering to the ideologies.

5:55

Why were you nodding your head in agreement for half of it?

5:58

That's the weird I.

5:59

Released my thing in writing on a new day.

6:03

Why did you gift it to the office last year?

6:06

I have the version that was translated from German to Japanese to English.

6:10

So it's it's much angrier.

6:12

Yeah, there's a lot of things going on there.

6:15

A lot, a lot more, I guess it would be

6:19

it would go from really interesting

6:21

metaphors, you know, certain special German words.

6:26

And then it would be directly to Japanese, which would just be very

6:29

matter of the fact.

6:31

And then the English, where it's somewhere in between.

6:33

So actually I might that might end up becoming like, beautiful poetry.

6:36

Yeah.

6:37

Maybe, maybe that's how it should have been released.

6:40

The Japanese person in my household

6:43

laughs at the fact that, like, there, they're these like words in Japanese

6:48

that mean, like, you know, the perfect apple

6:52

during a spring day and you're like, what is the English word for that?

6:56

It's like, there is no English word for that.

6:59

That's gay.

7:00

Yeah. It's like.

7:03

This thing keeps doctor away.

7:05

That's what we have.

7:06

That's it. And it's the same.

7:08

No, if it's not, that's the same.

7:10

It's not a single word.

7:11

In in Japanese, it's a single word for, you know,

7:15

your socks being perfect.

7:19

The perfect thickness within your shoe.

7:22

You know, you like we we have those.

7:24

We just take them from other languages.

7:26

So, you know, we still rendezvous and, vis-a-vis.

7:32

We don't have English.

7:33

English is too straightforward.

7:35

Which is weird because it can't, you know,

7:37

English and German have some overlap in terms of, like, structure and stuff.

7:41

It's not like, you know, it doesn't

7:43

it's not similar to, like, Latin or any of the romantic languages.

7:46

It's like it's kind of more structurally the same.

7:49

But even, you know, Germans have schadenfreude, fun words.

7:54

And we just have.

7:56

That's dope.

7:58

English can't be that hard.

7:59

I just saw Glen Powell wrote a new script.

8:02

It's gotta be pretty easy.

8:04

Yeah, with the help of Grammarly, I can get anything done.

8:08

Looking to make your next movie?

8:11

Grammarly checks everything.

8:13

Even gives you ideas for acts I structure.

8:17

I was listening to some tech podcasts, and they were talking about how Grammarly

8:20

is on its deathbed, and then it was followed up by an ad for Grammarly.

8:26

Like someone's getting a phone call after that one.

8:29

I imagine.

8:31

Who knows?

8:32

Or maybe.

8:33

Maybe that was planned.

8:34

I don't know any who.

8:37

Well, we have a lot

8:39

to do that's unrelated to the website.

8:42

It's more about

8:45

jobs stuff.

8:47

Yeah, business propositions, things.

8:51

So I know we're working on that.

8:53

I don't know what kind of

8:56

writing you want to

8:57

do this week, I think because also we recorded the Blood Boy thing.

9:01

We're going to start editing that.

9:03

So that's going to take up a little bit of time.

9:06

But I'm just trying to think this is the this is the treadmill.

9:10

We're on it. You can't stop.

9:12

You got to write stuff. And I have no ideas this week.

9:14

I don't know if I'm going to write about.

9:16

I mean, I have my second and some of the common gear thing

9:18

that I have outlined out that is needs, right?

9:23

I just,

9:26

you know, I was reading about this guy

9:28

that is companies a year old, and he just created this.

9:33

It's just one guy, and he created this, basically this.

9:37

He's a middleman for the fat loss drugs thing.

9:40

And he is in the New York Times, but he used I everything to do it.

9:44

ARM marketing basically started with 20 grand.

9:46

It sounds like you put it a lot towards marketing.

9:49

And in his first full year, now he's a 400 million revenue.

9:54

It's just him and

9:55

his brother is just no good fucking brother.

9:59

And, And then there's also these exact same tools and.

10:03

Yeah, no, they're all like, man,

10:07

yeah, treadmill

10:10

better. Right?

10:11

About my car. Yeah.

10:13

My car that I rebuilt.

10:16

No I don't do that.

10:17

Yeah I and there's, there's things to be written

10:19

but holy fuck is time a precious commodity.

10:23

You would think so.

10:25

I mean I do think so.

10:26

That's why I just said it's precious.

10:28

Come on. It's it's like, hey, stop it. I stop listening to you.

10:30

Once you said man made the thing with AI because it's all just.

10:35

I'm. I'm in that camp where

10:38

I'm not a fan of people trying to use AI as a shortcut

10:44

to be like, I'm going to run a business and I'm going to have these agents and,

10:47

you know, the whole thing.

10:48

I'm like, we can just fire 30,000 people and replace them with AI.

10:51

Like, I think that's shortsighted and silly and stupid.

10:54

And yes, it's entrepreneurial to

10:57

if you're doing anything like, you know, we're doing we do.

11:00

We lean on AI for help with certain things,

11:03

but to like go in with that mindset of I'm going to get rich off of this.

11:07

I just I feel is, I don't know, I don't I don't align with that mindset.

11:11

And I know that you do.

11:12

Or a. Person would say.

11:13

It is a poor person with values.

11:16

It's like those writers.

11:17

It's like they're struggling.

11:19

They're like, you know, well,

11:21

that book was a hit, but like, it wasn't really that good.

11:25

It's like, yeah, Yeah.

11:26

And then the three guys trying to get out.

11:29

Of mama's house. Yeah.

11:31

I mean, so like, I mean, you and I are working on a pitch

11:34

deck this week and it started out as a a boring one pager.

11:40

You know, we're talking to this this. Guy writing was good.

11:42

Fuck you.

11:43

The writing was great. But it's a it's a boring piece of paper.

11:46

Boring.

11:46

It's presentation, it's bold and it's presentation.

11:49

And even doing a PowerPoint or something like that is pretty lame.

11:52

And it was just it was a cool moment where we're like, hey, this

11:56

this thing is lacking any sort of character.

11:59

Let's throw through Claude and say, make this into,

12:04

like an F1 inspired black and white but very clean website.

12:08

And then you can send a web link to someone as opposed

12:11

to like going through Squarespace and building.

12:13

It's like it's being self-hosted on my own server.

12:15

Create a Cloudflare tunnel.

12:17

And I since I, you know, we just use a random domain

12:20

and a subdomain and it's like that to me is cool.

12:23

That's great. That speeds things up.

12:25

It's pretty.

12:25

Nuts.

12:26

It's I would have taken a couple weeks before.

12:29

Yeah.

12:29

And a week we'd have to hire someone off of Upwork.

12:32

They would be three people, and we would be lucky

12:36

if we talk to the same guy twice.

12:38

So you know how that goes.

12:41

Anyway, but the fact like that was, again,

12:45

I was like, that's someone I would have never hired.

12:47

I would have never gone through that process.

12:48

So we would have just made a boring deck or, just a whatever thing.

12:53

But it allowed us to take the the writing was done.

12:56

The creative behind it was there.

12:59

It was like, here's the pitch, here's the thing that we want to do.

13:02

How can we just clean it up with AI?

13:04

That to me is fun.

13:05

That's cool.

13:05

Not to be like, how can I be the how can I be add more

13:08

layers of shit onto a world of shit.

13:12

And sell people drugs for their fat ass, right?

13:15

At the same price, but easier than others.

13:18

Who who is overweight?

13:20

Everyone who wants drugs? Most everyone.

13:23

How hard are they to get?

13:24

I don't know, but I think you have to go through discord.

13:26

I don't know what that is.

13:27

What if we made it easier for people?

13:30

I'm sure the guy in.

13:32

I'm pretty sure there has to be.

13:36

I don't know

13:36

what 5100 other people trying to do that exact same thing.

13:39

And this is the guy who just won the the lottery.

13:42

Well, the key difference with him, and it seems to be the case

13:46

with a lot of things, is he had the marketing background to know

13:49

how to properly buy ads and also seem bigger than he was like.

13:53

One of the things he did was he he bought ads in New York Times, Reddit, etc., etc.

13:58

and then put their logos on his site saying, as seen in blah blah blah, smart.

14:03

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's is kind of age

14:07

old tactics but pretty, pretty clutch.

14:10

If you designed a billboard and you put it up like, you know,

14:15

there's always those billboards in your town

14:17

that are sold advertising a movie that came out two years ago.

14:20

Yeah.

14:20

If you were to, I guess, basically do graffiti for another company.

14:26

So say like

14:28

just for funsies, we go out there and we graffiti

14:31

that Banksy style, but we do an Exxon Mobil ad.

14:36

Would they get in trouble?

14:38

Like, would

14:40

the Billboard company be like, hey, Exxon, you put up a billboard here?

14:43

And we didn't allow. And they were like, we didn't approve that.

14:45

And they can't prove it is that I think that's in the anarchist Cookbook.

14:49

And you.

14:50

Oh, well. Hold on.

14:51

You mean not purchasing the any billboard space, right?

14:54

You mean somehow putting up like a

14:58

I don't know, like a like a panel, like painting up panels of an ad.

15:03

Kind of thing. Like.

15:04

Well there's this story about, there's this freeway on ramp, so there's the,

15:10

it's like the 110 that goes through downtown LA.

15:13

And when you, you can take it all the way down to Pasadena.

15:16

But then there's this like last minute

15:19

turn off to the five, which it's a it's almost dangerous.

15:23

But there's two lanes.

15:24

I go there and for the longest time there was no indicator

15:27

or it wasn't very clear.

15:28

So a guy basically in a form of defiance and graffiti went out, like in a high

15:35

vis vest, got a ladder, went out there and they people thought he was a real,

15:40

you know, contractor or

15:43

like a city inspector or whatever to do this thing.

15:46

And he put it up because he was just tired of people cutting each other off

15:49

on the freeway, and eventually the city, like, found.

15:54

They didn't even know. They they didn't approve that.

15:57

They thought they had done it.

15:58

What did he do exactly?

16:00

He basically just made it.

16:00

He put a freeway sign.

16:03

Oh, a freeway sign. Yeah.

16:04

But he like, painted over it and made it clear that

16:08

on this,

16:09

this freeway stretch, the five is on the left hand side.

16:12

And it's, it's these two lanes and that was it was like a kind of a cool

16:18

form of like a public service in the form of graffiti.

16:21

Then technically what he did was illegal.

16:23

And then

16:23

eventually the city just did it themselves and like, well, we'll make it better.

16:27

But it was like,

16:29

I don't know, I was wondering if how could you

16:33

if someone I was going through this, this was my, my mind set was okay.

16:37

There's an ad out there for some Transylvania movie

16:41

that has been up for years and whatever, they just forgot

16:44

to take it down or whatever.

16:46

And you put up a null and void ad on there, but you made it

16:50

look professional, like it was paid for with the company,

16:54

sue you or come to you and go, hey, you put this up and you go, okay, well,

17:00

if their logic is, well,

17:01

whatever's being advertised on there, put it up.

17:05

Could you get someone else sued by advertising someone else

17:09

who didn't pay for it?

17:10

I mean, it's like a false flag thing. Yes.

17:13

I mean, who are you talking about?

17:15

They is coming after you to it like billboards are run by.

17:18

Clear. Channels on channel and things like that.

17:21

And they, they usually have stock or their inventory and they're not quite

17:27

they have so much inventory that if that billboard

17:29

hasn't moved in a while, which it's kind of weird that that would happen.

17:33

But if it hasn't, then it's not on their radar.

17:36

So you could do it and probably not be discovered.

17:39

But yeah, you're essentially doing like false flag advertising, you know,

17:43

making someone hate something else even though they didn't put it up.

17:48

I'm not I'm not saying you should do this.

17:51

I'm just telling you how to do it so that you don't do it.

17:56

Well, that's that's good information.

18:00

I'm currently on Clear Channel's website right now.

18:02

Looking at how much is it for a billboard?

18:04

I've always wondered, but it got to be like 10,000, right?

18:07

At the minimum.

18:08

You know, it can be cheaper than that.

18:10

I mean, it depends like where it's at is like, can you see it

18:14

just walking or you see it and during rush hour, blah, blah, blah, like a rush hour

18:18

billboard and Houston's for like 50 grand a month or something like that.

18:21

But you could get one for five grand if it's like a smaller.

18:24

Like a bus. Stop.

18:26

Yeah, maybe a bus stop or in a neighborhood,

18:28

but it's a smaller billboard tower, you know, like.

18:32

Yeah, something to consider in,

18:36

they've been revitalizing Inglewood

18:39

around here because of the, you know, the new stadiums,

18:43

for the Clippers and the Rams and Chargers now, but instead of billboards,

18:48

they just have it looks like Vegas where they just have a TV and it's just

18:52

cycling through ads, which I'm like, I agree, that shouldn't be legal.

18:56

Is it the size of a billboard or you talking about digital?

18:59

It's the size of a billboard.

19:00

It's also hovering right over the street.

19:03

So when you're in traffic, you're looking at the other those

19:06

yeah, they're terrible like that shouldn't really sit there.

19:10

Also, I saw them, they were running I ads on these like even

19:13

smaller billboards that it's split across like three, you know,

19:18

nine by 16 TVs that are just like along the side of the road.

19:22

That was like it was these, like, two guys would mash against each other

19:26

and then explode into a bunch of colorful balls and like, that's I, that's

19:29

that's absolutely. I like crap.

19:32

But it's not.

19:33

I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but as soon as they start

19:37

harnessing all of these, the whatever

19:40

mass it on cameras, whatever the cameras called the

19:43

the mass camera surveillance system is happening in cities.

19:47

Volunteer.

19:48

Well, it's powerless here, but there's kind of.

19:51

I can't remember the name of them right now.

19:52

But anyway, soon as they start harnessing that, because they can track your vehicle

19:56

and they track your vehicle, and as you're passing by the billboard, it's like,

20:00

hey, Aaron, your IDs are up and you need to go, you know?

20:04

And, telling me I need to, you know, get my boner pills

20:07

for next month as I'm driving, you know, in traffic or whatever.

20:11

Yeah, it's it's a really dumb version of Minority Report where.

20:15

It's. Just it's not

20:18

it's not directed at you.

20:20

It is directed at you.

20:21

But everyone can see it.

20:22

And it's just the most embarrassing thing of.

20:25

Yeah.

20:25

Are those anal words still bothering you?

20:28

Get checked out from this doctor.

20:29

He's good with anal warts.

20:31

I mean, even if it was just directed towards you, the fact that it was directed

20:36

towards someone would be great advertising in general anyway.

20:39

You know, I was like, Who's Aaron?

20:41

Why does he need this?

20:43

I mean, that's basically that's what TikTok and Instagram are, right?

20:47

It's just it's already kind of, but, I'm actually just,

20:51

I rewatch Minority Report because I think that part was they, like, scan his eyes.

20:56

Right. So that's how they're tracking him.

20:57

And he goes, hey, Ethan Hunt.

20:59

Hey, Ethan, I but I guess, could everyone hear that?

21:03

That was the that was the point, right?

21:05

Is he's like, he can't hide because they're scanning his eyeballs.

21:08

So, that Swedish dude's got to give them new ones.

21:12

It's a good movie.

21:14

Yeah, I just took a bath tub scene.

21:16

Gives me anxiety.

21:18

It's. That's the way it's supposed to it.

21:20

That's one of the weirdest scenes here, because there's so much anxiety.

21:24

The added layer of like, he's like, you don't remember me, but

21:27

you put me a well far away for burning people.

21:30

And he's like, oh yeah, you're a monster.

21:31

And he's like, you're going to get these new eyes.

21:35

You think he's going to do something

21:36

weird, do him, and he just does a good job.

21:39

Yeah.

21:39

But I mean, I think purposely leaves that rotting sandwich in the fridge,

21:43

but whatever.

21:44

No, there was a there's a good one and a bad one.

21:47

They're right next to each other. Oh I see what you're saying. But yeah.

21:49

Yeah.

21:50

He was like, why?

21:51

Why do that. Just, you know.

21:53

Yeah. Dark Swedish humor.

21:55

Let's just I guess.

21:56

But anyway, well, I need help coming up with something

22:00

to write this week.

22:02

I had a thought on something with emulation,

22:06

but I don't know if I want to go down that path.

22:08

You could do the spotlight if you want it.

22:11

That's still up for grabs. Oh, yeah.

22:13

We got a couple people I should.

22:14

Okay. Yeah, I can work on that. And just.

22:18

We have so much to do,

22:20

so many things to make, so many people to talk to.

22:23

Well,

22:25

you know, there's,

22:28

Yes, for sure.

22:29

I can find some sort of some light in the in the clouds, like.

22:33

No, that's, You just have to do it all.

22:36

That's just how it is.

22:37

Yeah.

22:37

And I can't stop looking at these houses.

22:40

You know what I'm talking about?

22:41

Yeah. In that city.

22:43

Yeah, that city, that magical city which.

22:47

It's lovely,

22:49

but the more I'm looking at it, it's.

22:51

You're not gonna be able to walk anywhere.

22:54

That's the thing I'm realizing.

22:55

In the South.

22:56

Oh, yeah? Places.

22:58

Yeah. The southeast.

23:01

I don't know, it's

23:03

because there's places we've been to like Savannah that was it

23:06

felt pretty walkable. But I guess the same sort of thing.

23:09

The homes are

23:11

there just a little too spread out.

23:13

It's a little too suburban, almost rural like

23:16

I don't know.

23:17

But then

23:19

the price though,

23:21

the price is ridiculous.

23:22

Or which? Savannah.

23:24

The new place. The other place. Yeah.

23:27

Which I, I mean, and I also have some.

23:31

You remember how I was making

23:32

the joke like, oh, I'm talking about this city, and it's I'm.

23:37

I got the wrong city once we're all said and done with it.

23:39

And. Well, Did that is that what happened?

23:41

No. I was

23:43

like, I

23:43

have 24 bookmarks of this beautiful town.

23:46

No, but it was the wrong people who recommended it.

23:49

It wasn't the fancy architect, people who did it,

23:53

who recommended it, but it was a different fancy friend who was a man.

23:57

Yeah, I was, I was gonna say it was a drunk guy at a, at a rave.

24:01

But says an equally fancy friend who has architectural background.

24:06

That's why I got confused. Okay, I don't know.

24:08

That's one of those details that I just don't care about.

24:10

Well.

24:11

But if you were hanging around, like, well, these two are master architects

24:15

from London. Recommended this player. That's not true.

24:18

I completely made that up by accident.

24:21

I mean, that makes no difference to me anyways.

24:23

I don't know them.

24:24

It's basically you just saying

24:27

so-and-so blah told me about this place and I said okay.

24:31

And I started looking and going, this place is pretty nice.

24:33

Kind of checks off all the boxes of like, what I'm looking for. No.

24:37

And out of this, the selling to all the, or the the rhetoric.

24:40

I was using was introducing the credibility of this place,

24:45

which was these two renowned architects

24:49

from London with great taste who suggested this, blah, blah, blah, blah.

24:52

Like, that's, that's the the hook.

24:55

You know, if I didn't say that,

24:56

if I say, oh, is this bum in California, but she's smart,

25:00

you would be like, okay,

25:02

it would have been as

25:02

I don't think it would have grabbed you as much as what I'm saying.

25:05

Maybe. I mean, but also it was just a Google search way, so.

25:08

And okay, well let's just see what the the median home price here is.

25:12

And oh is this like an up and coming town.

25:13

That kind of feels like it.

25:15

And you know, you look at their past like Reddit threads and like

25:18

get kind of a vibe of how people are

25:22

in that a

25:23

city or adjacent land, you know, again, it's

25:26

it's those things when people tell a story and they go, I was talking to

25:30

this guy on Tuesday was a Tuesday and Thursday, and he's like, no one cares.

25:34

Those are details. I get that.

25:36

But if the entire story hinges on whether it was a Tuesday or a Thursday,

25:40

that's an important detail, is what I'm saying.

25:45

It could have been, you know, underwater basket weavers.

25:49

If I were saying, like, I went to this place for Taco Tuesday.

25:51

Oh, it was Wednesday.

25:53

And the talk was that good?

25:56

Maybe not again, unless it it

25:59

it means anything for the story.

26:02

And most stories are just made up anyway.

26:04

So embellish a little bit, maybe remove the details.

26:07

Self edit I don't know and it's. Not even listen.

26:09

I'm looking at houses in Savannah right now.

26:11

Yeah. How are those ones?

26:13

I know you didn't grab me member.

26:16

I they're like, you're either in the

26:19

the $200,000 old craftsman ones or you're in these like,

26:24

you know, Like in my search.

26:26

And these kind of estates that you can kind of guess the color

26:31

of the people in the neighborhood and the areas that they leave out.

26:35

It's it's weird that you give everyone a copy of Minecraft when you move in

26:38

just to prove what books you've read.

26:42

Hey, we're the you know, we're the hard edges and we just want to.

26:46

We got you this little, rosy

26:49

foot on my comp just for reading, you know, just somebody say,

26:54

hey, welcome to the neighborhood

26:58

monster.

27:00

But anyhow, you could have said the guy

27:02

changing my oil under my car to Valvoline.

27:06

Not that.

27:06

I mean, I know you just do it yourself anyway.

27:09

But even then, like, I someone jogging by shouted at you,

27:13

hey, check out this this place and you would like I did regardless,

27:17

I got the information, I don't,

27:19

I don't know if I'll ever meet these people because are you.

27:22

Definitely not going to be, Because they won't be there.

27:24

They're not going to move there.

27:26

No. There's a completely different people do recommend it.

27:29

I was wrong, and I actually knew I was

27:32

I could be wrong in some way, but luckily the city was correct.

27:37

That's all that matters.

27:38

There.

27:39

Or it again, it it might just be a total shit show. And

27:44

we'll hate it and we'll,

27:46

we'll just hate you for making us move there.

27:49

But it you'll never leave L.A..

27:51

I decided

27:53

there's a high chance of that.

27:56

Because L.A.

27:56

people are always like, we got to move from LA.

27:59

And then everywhere they go, they're looking for LA.

28:02

But cheaper and just cheaper.

28:06

And that's the only thing.

28:07

That's a that's a very good point.

28:09

Yeah. But.

28:10

You know, we went to, Nashville and, yeah, I just, you know,

28:15

the whole thing is it just wasn't, you went to Madison, Wisconsin.

28:18

It was good. But.

28:20

You know, there,

28:23

see, there's there's things I am looking for

28:26

and it's it's almost more of, like, a feeling and it's hard to describe.

28:29

And it's weird for me because I'm from L.A.,

28:32

lived here my entire life, which I guess makes it a little harder to leave.

28:35

And you're right. Yeah.

28:37

It is.

28:39

It's just weird driving home and seeing gas for $8 a gallon, like.

28:43

And it was six when I left.

28:45

You know, it's,

28:49

and you're, you're absolutely right.

28:50

We would move somewhere and go, oh, wow, it's so much cheaper.

28:53

Then you learn why really fast.

28:56

Yeah. Versus.

28:58

You know, like, what are all these bumps on my body?

29:00

Why am I miserable?

29:02

What is this white stuff falling from the sky?

29:05

What is these copies of this book my neighbor keeps giving me?

29:09

I don't know. Yeah.

29:11

What's a Hardy's?

29:13

Makes no sense.

29:14

It looks like a Carl's Jr, but it's not.

29:18

It's, you know,

29:20

it's the, the first,

29:23

the first time you interact with like a non la local

29:27

and you say some of that, that la talk that you do

29:31

and they immediately punch you for being gay.

29:35

Like that's, that's when you realize you made a mistake.

29:38

I maybe I don't know I, I don't, I don't talk to my current neighbors.

29:44

That's, that's the.

29:45

Thing in the South that everyone talks to everybody.

29:48

That's the thing. Yeah.

29:50

You know, it's not you don't people want to know

29:54

who they're living next to you because they want to know if they should,

29:57

you know, like arm themselves.

30:01

That's what the deal is.

30:02

I, I can be friendly.

30:04

I can be neighborly.

30:06

I just,

30:08

I don't know, I just I can't have the guy like, I can't

30:12

you see them in my backyard one day I'm like, what are you doing?

30:14

They're like, oh, I saw, I just saw there was, you had a leak.

30:17

Get out. Leave.

30:21

That that would never happen here because no one everyone in LA hates

30:24

each other or they don't hate each other, they just ignore each other.

30:26

Happens in their own little bubble.

30:27

But then again, like that can. Happen in L.A. because no one's armed.

30:31

That's true.

30:32

That keeps no one okay.

30:34

In Texas, no one wander up to your car window at like when you talk to them

30:39

in a red light and be like, what the fuck is your problem?

30:42

Because they know as soon as a is that the car and approach another vehicle,

30:46

they are putting their life in danger.

30:49

And whether you agree with that or not, I don't agree with it.

30:52

I don't think it's good to randomly shoot people.

30:54

It's just my opinion.

30:55

But but you can do it.

30:56

It's a possibility here,

31:00

am I right?

31:01

The thing they keep advertising, around

31:04

here is the the Byron, the

31:08

Byron.

31:08

So it is by RNA.

31:10

UI, RNA Verna. Verna I guess.

31:13

Yeah.

31:14

It's, it's a handgun, but it's basically,

31:19

it's like a B-B gun.

31:20

It uses CO2 and it shoots these pellets,

31:24

but they advertise it as like a gun alternative because they know

31:30

people like me are too afraid to own a gun, especially living in LA.

31:35

But, I mean, like, it's weird, like, shoots.

31:37

I'm guessing it shoots like,

31:40

like a mace type powder or something, and it just.

31:43

Yeah.

31:44

Yeah, well, I'd want

31:45

yeah, I'd want to know if the gun alternative makes wound alternatives,

31:48

because if that's the case, it's not going to be very effective.

31:51

It just buys you time as you choose the house.

31:55

The person who invaded your home.

31:58

Yeah, well, I guess you're staying here,

32:01

but I'm going to eventually evict you somehow.

32:04

No, that's never gonna happen.

32:05

Yeah. Really happened.

32:07

No, I know we can own guns here.

32:09

There's that one.

32:10

I think it's a rhino.

32:11

Do they make, handguns?

32:15

Republican in name only?

32:18

It's this revolver that looks like it's something.

32:21

Yeah, it's the the, the cheaper Rhino.

32:25

Is that it has. Well, Yeah.

32:27

What is that? It's.

32:29

Look it up.

32:29

It's pretty cool.

32:30

It looks like a gun from Blade Runner.

32:33

Yeah. And it shoots bullets.

32:35

Not your alternative.

32:36

Bullets does use real bullets.

32:37

Yeah. Okay. It.

32:40

Yeah, it looks it's kind of cool.

32:42

It looks futuristic, but somehow timeless, I guess, because as a wood handle.

32:46

But it's also.

32:48

It's like a, I don't know, like a $3,000 revolver. So

32:53

what's the point?

32:54

You know, you don't get it from Walmart actually probably do.

32:58

Walmart.com not actual Walmart.

33:01

Yeah.

33:01

It's just. Com.

33:04

Who you know

33:07

go I'll go on there here and there once a week.

33:10

Yeah. They sell these

33:14

because they know

33:14

it's an American, you know audience who's buying this stuff.

33:18

They they have these gun holders that go in your car.

33:22

I just can't imagine how bad of an idea that is to buy a cheap piece of plastic

33:27

that you you bolt on into your car that has a loaded gun.

33:31

Yeah.

33:32

Usually don't want to skip out on the things that that hold your gun,

33:36

that clean your gun, or that fire from your gun.

33:43

I remember my dad

33:44

sometimes would be at the range and he'd be like,

33:48

I think sometimes he'd be dual wielding, but he just made

33:50

do you think you can do it?

33:51

And then you'd hear and he'd stop and go,

33:55

goddamn Chinese ammunition.

33:59

That was like

34:00

just microseconds away from having a backfire, you know?

34:04

And he just good. Just happened to stop.

34:07

He. I have some footage of him with his automatic shotgun

34:11

with the barrel magazine or the drum magazine,

34:15

and he's just firing into a I don't know what.

34:18

He's firing into a pond or something.

34:20

It's like at a gun range.

34:22

But he found the pond and.

34:24

It was it.

34:24

Was he doing it on kicked com?

34:26

No, it wasn't even Twitch stream it.

34:28

He just thinking my brother is filming it.

34:30

But my dad puts this I mean the the

34:34

the drum magazine to it looks like an oil drum.

34:37

It's that big. And he just goes boom!

34:40

And it's all 12 gauge shotgun shells.

34:43

Just like that one the Swat team has in video games.

34:46

They would never use it because they'd be like, why do we need 50 rounds?

34:51

That because you can empty the magazine, I think in four seconds

34:54

or something like that.

34:55

And the magazine to load it is, is $300.

35:00

So you just like you can see he shoots it and he's like kind of wowed by it.

35:05

And then he goes, oh wait, you realize he spent, you know,

35:10

you know, hundreds of dollars in about four seconds.

35:12

And he's not he's not a practical man.

35:16

No, it's I mean, that's you're you're right.

35:19

As an American, it shouldn't be.

35:20

But there you go.

35:21

Oh, I don't think it's his right.

35:23

I think I'm pretty sure my dad's not allowed to own guns.

35:27

But he has them.

35:29

Yeah.

35:30

That'll stop the government for sure.

35:33

If anything it's just, it makes it faster for you

35:37

to be killed by the people you're trying to overthrow.

35:40

Yeah.

35:41

That's, that's really a is like, oh, I have a shotgun that can fire whatever 15

35:46

it. But,

35:48

it's like, other than mass shootings.

35:51

I don't know what that could be used for because, like,

35:52

if you're going up against armed guards or a tank,

35:55

I don't know what you're going to accomplish with that thing.

35:57

I don't we're going into a we should be able to own nukes, is what I'm saying.

36:02

That would keep the government loyal and, honest.

36:08

I'm just imagining him.

36:09

Like, if my dad finally lost it and he was doing some mass

36:13

shooting with that thing, like, I think it would, it shoots round so fast

36:19

that his intention would be to

36:20

kill 50 people, but he'd just end up shooting one guy 50 times.

36:24

But because he couldn't change directions.

36:27

He's not a big man.

36:29

I mean, he's he's in barebow and stuff, but he's not like a big guy.

36:33

He just had one of the mannequins in the plus size aisle

36:36

and then just be escorted out.

36:38

Maybe, I don't know, they probably even give him a gift card saying,

36:41

you're such a hero. Reject it.

36:44

Yeah. You saved us.

36:47

Here's some Crocs.

36:49

Anyway, it's a beautiful country,

36:52

I love it.

36:53

Well, I gotta go meet,

36:55

There is lots of work to be done, and I'm actually.

36:58

I'm going to go to the.

36:59

You convinced me to get a gym membership again.

37:02

I wasn't trying to, I just I, I pay

37:05

for the exclusive Planet Fitness upsell,

37:09

and that allows me to bring a guest like you.

37:12

You're not allowed to use the massage chair.

37:14

You can only watch me use the massage chair.

37:16

But for whatever reason, you went with 24 Hour Fitness.

37:18

I don't I'll never understand.

37:19

Well, it's close and if I want to grunt, I can grunt.

37:23

If I want a massage, I go to the Thai lady down the street.

37:26

Yeah, closes at 11. Right,

37:29

11:00. Pm.

37:30

Yeah.

37:30

Typically I think that's they don't stay open 24 hours.

37:34

And every day is a closed 11 p.m.

37:35

weekends. One.

37:36

And just see that's interesting is mine closes

37:40

earlier on weekends, which seems counterintuitive but yeah.

37:45

Well if you got the attention

37:48

to detail and service that I did, you'd know why.

37:53

Actually, it's not really the one two blocks away from me.

37:57

It's always the same 70 year old woman.

38:00

And, I think she takes out her frustration in life.

38:05

On my back.

38:05

When I go there, she's always walking on my back

38:09

and using the bars on the ceiling.

38:12

And all this. This is your neighbor. What is this?

38:14

This is this tile. It's called Thai.

38:18

Almost a Thai passion massage.

38:19

I think it's called Thai.

38:20

Thai healing Center. That's what it's called.

38:23

And it's not far from me.

38:24

I missed the part where, as a masseuse, I thought, this is the one.

38:27

I thought, oh, you were just describing your neighbor.

38:29

And then. Then you said Thai. So I thought of food.

38:31

And that's just tells you where my mind that, it's almost noon here, and I have.

38:35

Nothing to say, I have it.

38:37

It's not interesting unless.

38:38

I sell some of that leftover pizza that you got

38:40

with the hollow pinholes on it that, I'm guessing you felt what I felt so.

38:45

Yeah. Yes.

38:46

That's that's how we got here.

38:48

I felt that on a plane. There's

38:51

we we give our politicians

38:54

a bunch of psilocybin in that jalapeno pizza.

38:57

We put them up in the Artemis 3 or 4, whatever.

39:00

And this is how we solve all global problems.

39:03

And the toilet doesn't work.

39:04

So the fact.

39:07

Not only does it hurt, it smells really bad.

39:10

Yeah.

39:11

You just see them come on the screen at NASA

39:14

and they're like dancing around that, desperately

39:17

trying to distract themselves from what's happening.

39:20

They're like, look, you got to do something about this thing.

39:22

It's like not venting or whatever, and I can't.

39:25

I do this.

39:27

I, I should have looked more at what you were ordering because also,

39:31

you know, it's a New York pizzeria as they, they claimed to be.

39:34

I don't know what about anything about halal opinions.

39:39

That's New York.

39:40

Well, that. Wasn't New York style pizza. It wasn't.

39:42

It was more like Chicago style, but it's called like, you know, New York pizzeria.

39:47

So, so much for that. And they just

39:51

you just

39:51

had, whatever Ubisoft's Raving Rabbids

39:55

playing on the screen while we waited for your garlic knots.

39:59

It's madness anyway.

40:02

Well, have a good Jim.

40:05

I'll send you these clips. They're they're coming along.

40:07

You need to help.

40:08

Help me understand the difference between the one video I sent you

40:13

and then the other one's supposed to be a, product.

40:16

It's just close ups of engines and stuff.

40:20

Yeah, I think that.

40:21

Do you want to vote for it or.

40:22

No, it's just it's just. No, it's just beauty shots, okay?

40:25

It's beauty shots, okay?

40:28

It's just it's just a paint, a picture.

40:30

Okay?

40:31

I mean, the realm is, is,

40:34

the narrative version of what we're pitching.

40:37

It's it's not.

40:39

It starts with some beauty shots that don't quite make sense.

40:42

Yeah, because you haven't been like, you haven't seen the car.

40:49

So I, I don't,

40:50

I have to explain it to you but I it's mostly right.

40:53

Okay.

40:55

Well I'll send you these throughout the day and you just

40:58

shout at me when I get it wrong. Okay.

41:00

All righty.

41:01

All right I'll talk to you later. All right. Bye bye.
