Social Topics Roundtable: Dissecting Commonplace Controversies with Radell Lewis (Purple Political Breakdown)

[00:00:06] It's a Jacked Up Review Show.

[00:00:09] It's a Jacked Up Review Show.

[00:00:16] It's a Jacked Up Review Show.

[00:00:24] It's a Jacked Up Review Show.

[00:00:28] Jacked Up Review Show.

[00:00:45] Greetings all.

[00:00:46] I'm your host, Sully, and we're doing yet another roundtable discussion.

[00:00:49] Some of the topics will be heated, but for the most part, we'll just kind of try and reflect on why they're heated in the first place.

[00:00:56] And if we had some additional resources, what we would do to address these issues in this time.

[00:01:01] Here, exclusive guest tonight, we got Riddell Lewis from the Purple Political Breakdown Podcast.

[00:01:09] Welcome. Yeah, thanks for having me.

[00:01:12] Yeah, this should be an interesting conversation.

[00:01:15] Talk politics and it was fun to kind of figure it out beforehand.

[00:01:19] We're like, wait, yeah, without amount to anything now.

[00:01:23] Let's go in this direction.

[00:01:26] Now, I'm with you.

[00:01:29] Yeah, for the most part, I focus on trying to talk about like solutions and things that are more relevant to what's going on domestically in America.

[00:01:39] But I obviously when the time arises, I obviously pay attention to the international stuff, too, such as Palestine, Ukraine and stuff.

[00:01:48] Oh, yeah. Isn't it weird?

[00:01:51] Speaking of that, how I'm not seeing as much about the Ukraine-Russia war.

[00:01:58] Yeah, it seems like that has taken the narrative now is like, well, that's bad.

[00:02:03] But what about those guys?

[00:02:06] Yeah, mainstream definitely is not focused on that and social media, too.

[00:02:11] And I think the reason why is Ukraine-Russia was much more straightforward.

[00:02:17] The only people who had an issue with Ukraine-Russia is the people who had an issue with sending money to Ukraine, but they not necessarily were rooting for Russia.

[00:02:25] So that was the thing right now.

[00:02:28] People have sides. It's Palestine side and Israel side.

[00:02:32] So it's much more like who's your favorite wrestler, reality show star or politician.

[00:02:38] And they're beating each other up on a tar mat for ratings.

[00:02:42] Exactly.

[00:02:43] So that's why it's more because people are talking about it more.

[00:02:47] It's more divisive. That's why.

[00:02:49] Gotcha. There is no end.

[00:02:52] So thanks for more headlines.

[00:02:57] So this was cool to plan.

[00:02:59] We were just like, hey, you know, we could talk about this, but I don't want that.

[00:03:02] And I was the same way.

[00:03:03] It's like, I don't want to just have a discussion where we just rant for like hours and there's no real answer that we've.

[00:03:12] Assessed.

[00:03:14] And so I just figured, yeah, we could just kind of circle back and forth and just talk about certain topics that social political.

[00:03:22] That we feel like we could have an answer for if we had more resources, if we had another bigger platform or just in any other atmosphere, you know, just.

[00:03:35] And we can just kind of circle around and it can be something that you do feel is doable or one that you would love to do, but you don't think you have the time and resources or even money at this time to really want to do that.

[00:03:46] But in a better place, you probably would.

[00:03:49] You know, it can it can be as big or small as you want it to be.

[00:03:52] You know, I guess I could start off.

[00:03:59] I guess I was just thinking one thing that's just commonly kind of seems to come up is.

[00:04:08] It's even more heated nowadays, it seems than guns or birth control and everything like that.

[00:04:14] And this one is a requirement.

[00:04:17] The topic of sex ed and in my mind, I think that's just should be taught at any school, regardless of your politics or anything, because if you don't want to have this conversation, you got to kind of teach your kids, you know.

[00:04:30] Yeah, I do think that sex education is like important knowledge.

[00:04:37] Like sometimes people on the right get a little bit too into the weeds.

[00:04:43] Like I get what they're trying to stop, but then they go too far, which tends to happen all the time because there's no denial that I guarantee you probably were at school and you learned about pregnancy and puberty and all that stuff.

[00:04:57] Yeah, the parents should have the conversations, but the parents don't always have them.

[00:05:01] They get so annoyed when someone doesn't wear rubber and they're like, hey, you're a baby daddy to this girlfriend of yours at school is like, well, yeah, because you guys didn't have this conversation.

[00:05:11] Exactly. So sex education for sure matters.

[00:05:16] What we can have the conversation is what is said in the education.

[00:05:21] Yeah, if you want to word it a certain way, like don't get graphic.

[00:05:24] I can understand that, but it seems like everyone's just like, oh bad, oh, it's pornography.

[00:05:28] And like what? We're not even seeing any photos.

[00:05:33] Yeah. So, I mean, what I remember from my my sex education is that it was really not a big deal.

[00:05:39] Yeah.

[00:05:41] I don't know what to be taught nowadays in school.

[00:05:43] I have no idea.

[00:05:44] I'm afraid to find out, actually.

[00:05:46] I'm in Texas.

[00:05:47] They were kind of if anyone really had some detailed questions, they would stay after class.

[00:05:52] But for the most part, people kind of laughed it off and not in a crude way.

[00:05:58] They were just like, oh, so that's what that one comedian was joking about.

[00:06:01] And we kind of just we smiled without snickering and we moved on.

[00:06:05] It wasn't awkward to where we're like, oh, I hope no one saw me ask that question.

[00:06:12] It was like, yeah, it was simple.

[00:06:14] But it was weird because I'm in a very arguably backward state where everyone seems to get heated about everything from gun control to what teachers do.

[00:06:24] And it's like, well, I don't know how we flew out of there alive and no one made a stink about it.

[00:06:31] Yeah.

[00:06:32] I mean, you can attribute that to a lot of different factors.

[00:06:35] They weren't paying attention.

[00:06:37] Yeah.

[00:06:37] At the very least, what is should make sense to everybody is that kids are going to learn about sex somewhere.

[00:06:45] So being as educated as possible is important.

[00:06:49] And it go too far.

[00:06:51] Yes, there's those weird in left weird.

[00:06:53] Yeah, I'm going to point this out.

[00:06:55] Weird, very left teachers want to teach them things that they shouldn't be teaching.

[00:06:59] That's a very small minority of teachers.

[00:07:02] They're doing that.

[00:07:02] Yeah, so in theater, they're only going to really go there.

[00:07:06] If you really like open the bar, like you open that question, they say, oh, they've gone this far.

[00:07:11] I guess they want to go there.

[00:07:12] But yeah, I mean, I only had like maybe one person who was maybe offering there, but they were like a teacher assistant.

[00:07:18] You know, and they were only going to people who kind of wouldn't stop talking and they would just go out on the hall in a quiet room, say, OK, we're going to talk about this and that.

[00:07:27] I don't recommend bringing that up here and there.

[00:07:28] We'll get to that.

[00:07:29] That'll be on the test.

[00:07:30] Right.

[00:07:34] And but I didn't see anyone sign any waivers like permission to teach your kid this.

[00:07:40] It was weird.

[00:07:41] I was so surprised.

[00:07:42] Now, I bet you I will bet 50 cents on it.

[00:07:46] Maybe a bit 20 bucks.

[00:07:48] Someone's probably having to have that conversation now.

[00:07:50] Permission to teach your kid.

[00:07:51] The most I saw was religions of the world.

[00:07:55] Yeah, permission to teach them about other variations on Catholicism and Islam.

[00:08:03] I mean, the moment you open Pandora's box for specific topics, then you're going to open it up for other topics.

[00:08:10] So that's just bound to happen now if the looming trickle down effect is that.

[00:08:17] Teach your parents, that's what I'm focusing on.

[00:08:20] Parents become more involved in their kids education.

[00:08:24] I'm not necessarily mad at that if they be more involved.

[00:08:28] That's a good thing that actually all of them to your kids education.

[00:08:32] So if that's what happens as a result, if they go like, oh, yeah, I'm not signing this waiver.

[00:08:38] I'm going to teach you all you need to know.

[00:08:40] Hey, then go ahead, do it.

[00:08:43] That makes sense as opposed to I'm shutting you down and I'm not giving a reason.

[00:08:48] I'm gatekeeping.

[00:08:50] And I'm mad that you don't know how to do this.

[00:08:53] I mean, I used to work live concert events in perfect contrast.

[00:08:59] And I had guys who were completely rude to me.

[00:09:02] One of them even was a jerk and tripped me almost with the wires.

[00:09:06] I'm like, this is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

[00:09:08] I'm like, oh, why don't you know how to do this?

[00:09:10] Like, because.

[00:09:13] This is my first day, I don't know how to wire all these electronics.

[00:09:17] I was just told they needed handyman.

[00:09:19] Next thing you know, go over there and the other guy's like, oh, I don't need you.

[00:09:22] Go back to him.

[00:09:23] It's like it did.

[00:09:25] I can't possibly learn this if you don't sit down for like 10 minutes and.

[00:09:32] Let me inside your world and break it down.

[00:09:34] Yeah, I agree.

[00:09:35] And after a while, it was very clear they just wanted to just, you know.

[00:09:41] Get away with being jerky and I just said, OK,

[00:09:44] I have given you enough of my time, I'm done.

[00:09:48] Yeah, people need to.

[00:09:52] Provide intention behind their attention.

[00:09:55] Yes, always important.

[00:09:59] What's your take on?

[00:10:01] Kind of led up to it really good with kind of media perspective and everything,

[00:10:06] both on air and off air.

[00:10:09] Do you feel like more people should open a dialogue on like double standards?

[00:10:16] I mean, as of right now, double standards are,

[00:10:20] I mean, commonplace.

[00:10:22] The problem is not necessarily that double standards exist

[00:10:26] because that's always going to exist.

[00:10:28] Yeah. Yeah.

[00:10:28] Double the problem is that people are just too narrow minded

[00:10:32] in the belief that they can't understand why it's a double standard.

[00:10:37] Right. So it's OK to be biased towards your side

[00:10:39] because people have a value system that they live by and that they believe

[00:10:42] is the right it's you think you're morally good to an extent.

[00:10:45] Fine, whatever.

[00:10:47] But you've got to open up your perspective much more.

[00:10:50] You got to broaden your horizons

[00:10:53] and be able to understand at the very least why

[00:10:57] this person is believing instead of I think I trust this person,

[00:11:01] but I can't say why.

[00:11:02] You know, they just they got a bigger Ferrari.

[00:11:05] They got a bigger mansion.

[00:11:07] Yeah. So that they do isn't to the being ideologically captured

[00:11:13] to the point where, oh, yeah, I support this.

[00:11:16] I hate this side because there are millionaires

[00:11:19] who get donation from other millionaires,

[00:11:21] but you're also supporting a millionaire who gets donations.

[00:11:24] You're right.

[00:11:24] You got to go a little more deeper.

[00:11:27] I would if there was a classroom setting, I guess, to open up that chat,

[00:11:30] I would just say I would have simple slogans like two wrongs.

[00:11:34] Don't make a right.

[00:11:35] Just to someone will eventually kind of get that. Hopefully.

[00:11:40] Yeah. And for the most part,

[00:11:43] I think it's they get stuck into these headlines.

[00:11:48] They don't really understand why they're upset about whatever

[00:11:51] the being upset.

[00:11:51] Once you really learn and understand even why you are supporting

[00:11:57] who you're supporting, you'll be able to kind of figure out,

[00:12:00] does this truly align with what I believe in?

[00:12:03] And most of the time, this plays into the double standard.

[00:12:06] You're going to find out that once you really deep dive

[00:12:09] what you believe in and what you hate, they're one in the same.

[00:12:13] You're going to realize that maybe I shouldn't be supporting

[00:12:15] what I'm supporting. Bingo.

[00:12:18] If I hate this certain person on social media,

[00:12:22] it better be more than just they misspoke one day and took a tweet down

[00:12:26] 48 hours later.

[00:12:27] It was like, are they commonly doing this?

[00:12:29] Are they trolling people and infuriating?

[00:12:32] Or let's say let's put that to the side.

[00:12:34] That could be their social media manager speaking out of turn

[00:12:37] for all we know.

[00:12:38] But are they just saying stuff that just is socially or morally

[00:12:44] reprehensible that you're just like, I can't get my way.

[00:12:47] I can't get behind this person resourceful as they may or may not be.

[00:12:50] And it is funny seeing conversations on Jeff Bezos versus Elon Musk wars.

[00:12:56] It's like, well, I got a lot of skeletons in their closet,

[00:13:00] but I hope someone can break down who angered them more instead of

[00:13:06] I just picked a side just because I've always liked their site, man.

[00:13:12] Exactly.

[00:13:13] Yeah, just think a little bit more carefully on why you believe

[00:13:18] in what you believe.

[00:13:19] Do you have an option that you would like to suggest a solution to

[00:13:29] in some capacity?

[00:13:30] So something that I've definitely become an advocate for

[00:13:37] and it kind of plays into a current issue or policy

[00:13:41] that has been implemented is regarding social media.

[00:13:45] Now, if people aren't aware in Florida, Ron DeSantis signed a bill

[00:13:49] that banned social media for kids under 14 years old.

[00:13:53] So it's not like how it was before.

[00:13:57] Where you can lie about your birthday on my space.

[00:14:00] Now they're going to make it much more strict.

[00:14:02] And if you want to go on social media, you would have to get

[00:14:06] direct permission from a parent.

[00:14:08] Now, the solution I'm going to propose is not necessarily that I

[00:14:13] dislike the reasoning behind the ban, because I do think there is

[00:14:18] something to be said about social media and its impact on the youth.

[00:14:22] But more so, I would go a different route with it.

[00:14:25] I would go the route of separating social media for adults and kids.

[00:14:30] So that's a good idea compared to it's kind of like the SOPA bill.

[00:14:34] Remember when they introduced that and it's like, well, yes,

[00:14:37] I agree there should be ways to monitor illegal activities on there.

[00:14:40] But you're doing this just so that certain businesses can hide

[00:14:44] some of their dirty secrets and Amazon results can be top

[00:14:49] number one on a Google search and all these other middlemen

[00:14:55] get filtered out. And unless I have a VPN, I can't see them.

[00:15:01] It's like you say, it's got to be more delicate as opposed to sneaky

[00:15:06] or to appease one demographic.

[00:15:11] Exactly. When you put a policy into place, you want to have a meaning

[00:15:16] behind it, behind any kind of backhanded thing that may exist.

[00:15:20] And there might be good intentions behind banning social media to the youth.

[00:15:24] Like I said, there is some validity to it.

[00:15:27] But social media is a part of life nowadays and contact people

[00:15:32] and kids should have social media, but they should have a kid version

[00:15:36] of social media that's heavily moderated and has very specific tools

[00:15:40] and make sure the algorithm is very set in a very specific way.

[00:15:44] So they aren't basically corrupted by what is on adult social media

[00:15:49] behind all that.

[00:15:52] So this is my dude. This is great.

[00:15:56] Do you ever have any teachers in your family?

[00:16:00] Teachers? No, my dad was a psychologist, but no.

[00:16:05] No, that's that's a good start.

[00:16:08] My grandmother would do some teaching and counseling briefly,

[00:16:10] but my mother taught for like two years and then had to give it up.

[00:16:15] She was at a real backwards, like inner city school

[00:16:18] where long story short, no one wanted to learn anything.

[00:16:21] And they were kind of forcing everyone to pass their students.

[00:16:25] Just didn't make any sense.

[00:16:28] And you're like, so they're not going to make any efforts

[00:16:31] because we can't technically fill them.

[00:16:33] That's what you're telling us.

[00:16:34] But the biggest issue was it was a very well thought out tech company

[00:16:39] that was helping people do journalism and web design and everything.

[00:16:44] Just great skills that anyone could use at any age.

[00:16:47] And long story short, we were kids once.

[00:16:51] If any student got caught,

[00:16:54] surfing inappropriate content or playing games,

[00:16:57] they had to have their hard drive cleaned out

[00:17:00] and then their laptop was returned to them later.

[00:17:03] But that was a problem because they would keep getting assignments.

[00:17:06] And so those went kaput as well.

[00:17:10] Did you get last week's assignment? No.

[00:17:15] It was different than, you know, it was in the 2000s,

[00:17:18] early 2010s before we could figure out, hey,

[00:17:20] there's a way to keep it on the cloud.

[00:17:22] So you always have it.

[00:17:24] Right.

[00:17:26] And I don't have to keep erasing your hard drive

[00:17:28] because you watch something inappropriate for school

[00:17:30] after the billionth time.

[00:17:32] Oh, yeah.

[00:17:35] I mean, they keep them.

[00:17:36] They say all the time in terms of these social media companies

[00:17:39] that they are moderating to an extent.

[00:17:42] But if you just separate the platform,

[00:17:46] you can make sure that the moderation is very specific

[00:17:50] for child safety and child detention.

[00:17:53] I mean, YouTube went out of their way and made a kid version of YouTube.

[00:17:58] And a adult version.

[00:17:58] Yeah, this last year, they were they now require every time you upload something.

[00:18:02] They're like, this is this for kids.

[00:18:05] You know, if there's an F bomb, then probably not.

[00:18:09] Yeah, they're completely different platforms.

[00:18:11] And there's no reason why all the other social media companies

[00:18:15] can't do the exact same thing.

[00:18:16] I mean, right? Yeah.

[00:18:20] Oh, that's a good option.

[00:18:24] Kind of looking more at objective,

[00:18:28] like kind of like you have a rating for a movie.

[00:18:31] I will always see someone

[00:18:33] bring their kid out of a movie and it's like, well, the ratings there

[00:18:36] in giant letters.

[00:18:37] I why is this a mystery?

[00:18:41] Yeah, exactly.

[00:18:43] I saw I'm sure you heard people did that with something

[00:18:46] like the South Park movie back in the day as well as Deadpool.

[00:18:49] And it's like, well, just because it's a cartoon or superhero

[00:18:53] doesn't mean it's for kids.

[00:18:56] Yeah, I mean, I feel like people are learning more and more

[00:18:59] that just because it's animated, just because it's a cartoon,

[00:19:02] just because heroes, just because nerdy that has

[00:19:06] that does not correlate to being kiddie.

[00:19:09] Yeah, I still see people do with video games.

[00:19:11] So like, I don't care if you shoot up a bunch of soldiers

[00:19:14] as long as, you know, you don't bring a gun home or you don't

[00:19:18] you don't watch that one intense program on, you know,

[00:19:22] the CW or TNT after school.

[00:19:27] It's it's interesting how it's a different format,

[00:19:29] and it does confuse me even more as like, oh, so I can show Gore

[00:19:32] on a prime time TV show on a hospital show, but I can't.

[00:19:37] If I show this in this movie, it might risk getting a hard PG-13

[00:19:41] or an R, regardless of intent.

[00:19:45] No, I'm with you.

[00:19:47] I mean, parents have no reason to be ignorant nowadays.

[00:19:50] Right now, what your kid is doing, there's really no.

[00:19:53] What did you do?

[00:19:54] What did you do?

[00:19:56] I'm sure you got it with video games all the time.

[00:19:58] It's like, how did that kid get that M rated game from GameStop?

[00:20:02] Did their brother force their ID or something?

[00:20:07] Yeah, if I mean, I wouldn't.

[00:20:10] I'm not like one of those people who think that, oh, kids

[00:20:13] need to be sheltered all the time.

[00:20:15] Like, you just got to pay attention to what your kid is doing.

[00:20:18] That's what you have to be there.

[00:20:21] Then no right to be offended when, you know, like there's like

[00:20:26] it's like kind of repeatedly.

[00:20:29] I'm sure you've heard metaphors like a dog expecting anything different

[00:20:33] when they keep running into an electric fence is like, well,

[00:20:37] you've had, you know, third times the charm.

[00:20:38] You've had so many warnings.

[00:20:40] You can't get out of here.

[00:20:41] Exactly. Yeah. There's barriers.

[00:20:44] There's there was the TV writing in the top corner.

[00:20:47] There was the poster.

[00:20:48] There was the TV ad that said you were discretion advised.

[00:20:52] I think that's enough warning.

[00:20:55] No, exactly.

[00:20:56] At this point, people need to chop trying to take a step backwards

[00:21:00] in terms of technology, in terms of entertainment and social media.

[00:21:05] Everything is just going to keep going forward.

[00:21:06] So it's up to you to adapt to what it is.

[00:21:10] And it's up to society to create tools

[00:21:13] to ensure that parents can adapt properly,

[00:21:16] because parents are only so smart.

[00:21:18] So it's also up to society to make sure that they have the tools

[00:21:22] to make sure ensure that they adapt.

[00:21:24] And one of those tools, like I said, is a separate social media platform

[00:21:27] for kids. And that's just the case.

[00:21:31] And parents can only pay attention to so much. Absolutely.

[00:21:36] Well, so we've talked a bit about social media education.

[00:21:43] Would you like to maybe, I guess,

[00:21:46] if there's ever a social or economics class, it'd be interesting

[00:21:50] if they always kind of seem to want to teach about just, you know,

[00:21:53] tax cuts and stock markets and everything.

[00:21:57] But I wonder if they've ever taught about unemployment

[00:22:01] and other harsh scenarios that can happen at any time.

[00:22:08] I mean, I do think education, public education,

[00:22:11] is pretty inefficient nowadays.

[00:22:13] Yeah, they 100 percent can do a better job in

[00:22:17] preparing teenagers that are about to become adults,

[00:22:22] understanding taxes, understanding unemployment,

[00:22:25] understanding if need be welfare, Medicare,

[00:22:30] how to become an entrepreneur.

[00:22:32] Yeah, and the risk.

[00:22:34] Exactly. These are things that can be taught much more efficiently.

[00:22:39] Obviously, you can learn them themselves, but education is there to educate.

[00:22:44] Then if we're going to make the same argument as sex ed should be taught,

[00:22:48] then there's really no excuse for economic and finances

[00:22:52] not also being taught at a important, important level,

[00:22:56] arguably one of the most important levels, because that's

[00:23:00] when you're out on your own.

[00:23:01] This is all stuff you have to do.

[00:23:03] There's not a choice.

[00:23:04] You have to know about all this stuff.

[00:23:06] So we should do a better job in terms of public education and teaching this.

[00:23:11] Of course, you can argue that parents can be there, too.

[00:23:13] But yeah, public education is there to educate when the parents can.

[00:23:17] It's just a matter of the situation. Right.

[00:23:22] I would like the security guards to be a little more astute, I guess, at school.

[00:23:26] They're probably the only guys I'd be comfortable being armed.

[00:23:29] I guess I know that's a heated topic, but mainly

[00:23:32] I also would just love if they could really just be on the lookout for bullies.

[00:23:37] You know, don't obviously there's always going to be someone

[00:23:40] who sneaks for the crack.

[00:23:41] But if you can have someone who's actually just realizing, hey, this guy is,

[00:23:45] you know. This kid's, you know, extorting another kid for money

[00:23:49] or threatening to take him outside and beat him up after lunch.

[00:23:54] You know, it's I can still be easily avoided instead of wait for,

[00:23:58] you know, just suspend both and get over it.

[00:24:03] Yeah, I mean, I've said on my podcast episode

[00:24:06] when I talked about mass shootings in particular. Yeah.

[00:24:11] Especially at schools that I don't see the argument against security guards.

[00:24:17] I security guards are one.

[00:24:21] I've said this in kind of bullet form formatted one, obviously,

[00:24:24] that creates more jobs, which I'm sure the right is always an advocate for.

[00:24:28] That's right. Anyway, if police are on duty,

[00:24:30] security can still come in, you know, either police officers

[00:24:34] or a private enterprise that has security guards.

[00:24:37] Regardless, you'll be able to find a security guard

[00:24:40] that should be qualified enough, make sure that they are vetted properly

[00:24:44] and then there to defend their school.

[00:24:46] I don't see the I don't see why a parent would say, hey, yeah,

[00:24:51] I want less security of a place where my kid will be eight hours of the day.

[00:24:57] I don't see the argument against that necessarily.

[00:25:00] And if they're trained, one, if they're a police officer,

[00:25:03] having them having a gun, obviously.

[00:25:05] But two, if they're a hired security guard that is vetted properly,

[00:25:09] which you can find a lot of places, they should also

[00:25:13] it should be fun for them also to have a gun. Right.

[00:25:16] So they are there to protect and just in case

[00:25:19] that's what security has always been a just in case scenario.

[00:25:23] And then you also made another good point

[00:25:26] to ensure that they can be that that force to alleviate

[00:25:30] don't just stand there while five people are ganging up on someone

[00:25:34] in a locker room.

[00:25:36] They can handle fights, they can handle bully situations,

[00:25:39] bully scenarios, they can handle friction between teachers and parents

[00:25:43] and students that is apparently students are getting much more disrespectful.

[00:25:47] We see the clips on TikTok all the time.

[00:25:49] So they have a lot of uses potentially.

[00:25:51] And there's really no good argument why we shouldn't have security guards.

[00:25:56] No, they.

[00:25:58] I can understand not being comfortable with other students and what have you,

[00:26:01] but then there's others.

[00:26:03] There is like what's going on here?

[00:26:08] Yeah, I mean, even comfortability,

[00:26:10] I don't really buy is a legit argument because school

[00:26:14] in itself is going to be uncomfortable for the kid the moment they arrive.

[00:26:17] They're meeting a stranger.

[00:26:19] I mean, their first time going to school, they're meeting new kids.

[00:26:23] They're meeting new adults and they're going to meet a new principal.

[00:26:27] You know who else you're going to meet?

[00:26:28] A new security guard.

[00:26:29] You'll get used to it, just like you got used to all the kids

[00:26:32] and the teachers and the and the staff over there and the janitor.

[00:26:35] You'll get used to it. It's a security guard.

[00:26:37] You'll be fine.

[00:26:38] So it's not really a valid argument, I'll be honest.

[00:26:41] Oh, a circle around, you don't have to be armed at all times.

[00:26:44] You can have a stick with you if you need to.

[00:26:46] But like, you know, don't treat it like a prison.

[00:26:51] Yeah.

[00:26:53] Uh, well, it seems like we could also, I guess,

[00:27:01] educate people on like how to save money and.

[00:27:06] You know, just one thing I always got taught growing up

[00:27:09] is it'll always be around, you know,

[00:27:12] it doesn't apply to all things, but it's like there's no rush.

[00:27:15] You know, you're not you're going to live past 16,

[00:27:18] you know, if you're not self-destructive.

[00:27:20] You know.

[00:27:21] I guess we could just also in some of these economic class,

[00:27:25] just other even more personal classes,

[00:27:28] just have people open up discussions on.

[00:27:33] Just.

[00:27:35] More goal setting, you know, what do you want to have

[00:27:38] when you get out of here?

[00:27:39] You know, don't shame them if you don't want to do college.

[00:27:44] Well, what is your other avenue besides just doing your family

[00:27:47] business or mowing lawns?

[00:27:49] Yeah, the the discourse regarding.

[00:27:54] After high school activities is becoming more and more interesting

[00:27:58] as more and more students are getting motivated to not go to college.

[00:28:04] And now there is the additional motivation now that the NIL exists

[00:28:09] that you can get paid while you're in college,

[00:28:11] but that's still going to be only for a select few.

[00:28:14] So I think that's the only way to do it.

[00:28:17] And that's the only way to do it.

[00:28:18] And in some cases, it's going to be the same.

[00:28:20] So it's still going to be only for a select few.

[00:28:23] So those people are going to be incentivized, of course.

[00:28:25] But the people who are not the athletes,

[00:28:28] the people who don't know what they want to do,

[00:28:31] they don't have a direction as of right now,

[00:28:34] they are getting pulled in different directions.

[00:28:36] Societies telling them go to college, their parents.

[00:28:39] I guess.

[00:28:41] But social media is telling you not to go to college.

[00:28:44] And I know my personal opinion about it.

[00:28:47] This is my take, of course, is that if you have no direction,

[00:28:50] then going to college won't necessarily help you.

[00:28:54] It won't guarantee to help you.

[00:28:55] Yeah.

[00:28:57] There are a lot of resources out there that you can take advantage of

[00:29:00] that you can learn from.

[00:29:02] You can learn online.

[00:29:03] You can do.

[00:29:04] I mean, even if I were to grant the college route, people shame it.

[00:29:09] They're stupid for shaming it.

[00:29:11] But community college is an amazing resource to go to,

[00:29:15] to get very, very, very affordable post-education.

[00:29:19] And then you get...

[00:29:21] Oh, yeah.

[00:29:22] At least get that associates.

[00:29:23] Yeah.

[00:29:24] So yeah, you go to community college or you go and do an online school.

[00:29:29] These are all much more affordable measures and you get the exact same

[00:29:33] degree for the most part when everything's said and done after you do,

[00:29:36] after a community, you go to a real college for the last two years.

[00:29:39] Absolutely.

[00:29:41] And if you want to stop there, what do you want to do to implement it as

[00:29:44] opposed to just rely on good luck and you know.

[00:29:48] Exactly.

[00:29:48] So if you want to go to school, there are more affordable measures that

[00:29:51] should be taught more promptly in schools that these are resources

[00:29:55] that you should do if you have no direction.

[00:29:58] Yeah, college was fun for me, but was it worth it?

[00:30:02] I think you can argue not if you don't take advantage of the

[00:30:04] resources.

[00:30:05] This is more specifically for people who have no direction.

[00:30:09] People who have no direction are not going to take advantage of all

[00:30:11] the tools that they are given.

[00:30:12] So at that point you don't got direction.

[00:30:15] Okay, give a more affordable option.

[00:30:19] Give you the opportunity to not make a damning mistake.

[00:30:22] Lessen your load on yourself.

[00:30:24] Maybe even go learn some things through some prompts online.

[00:30:28] There are plenty of things to learn for free online, even the

[00:30:31] library.

[00:30:31] Right with YouTube and I'm finding so many other things.

[00:30:35] I'm like, I wish I had that my senior year.

[00:30:38] Exactly and figure out your passions.

[00:30:42] Obviously you can go explore people struggle with with like

[00:30:50] finances and stuff when it comes to rent.

[00:30:52] I think people just get a misguided notion on it.

[00:30:54] You just got to do your research find a proper place.

[00:30:57] Get a roommate.

[00:30:58] Get an affordable job.

[00:30:59] Figure out what your passion is.

[00:31:00] You can do all this stuff at a very very young age and you

[00:31:04] will be fine.

[00:31:05] It just when you procrastinate and don't really look into it

[00:31:09] and just don't do anything in our lazy.

[00:31:12] You're not going to go anywhere regardless of you go to

[00:31:14] college or not.

[00:31:15] So nobody's absolutely hitting on that last part.

[00:31:18] It does seem like a lot of people like to get bored

[00:31:22] and then don't know what would do better is like, well,

[00:31:24] let's go for a walk.

[00:31:26] Let's clear our mind, you know, instead of I hate this.

[00:31:28] I want to escape it, but I don't know how and I get it.

[00:31:34] It is very overwhelming.

[00:31:35] In my experience.

[00:31:38] Academic advisors were pretty much.

[00:31:45] It was kind of like a sports team.

[00:31:46] Hey, I would love for you to be part of our department.

[00:31:50] I would love to for you to take these classes and they

[00:31:53] asked after the fact, do you want to take it?

[00:31:56] I was like, oh no, I didn't want to take it to begin

[00:31:58] with.

[00:31:59] I don't know why you keep mentioning it.

[00:32:01] It would be cool if they actually stopped getting

[00:32:05] political and said, hey, staff has to get along and

[00:32:08] we can share, you know, instead of just getting in

[00:32:13] fender benders and you hear after class that hey,

[00:32:15] one professor got into a heated argument with another

[00:32:17] one because you know, they didn't reserve the right

[00:32:22] studio or they wanted this person to give more

[00:32:26] extra time and effort into this class versus that

[00:32:30] one.

[00:32:30] It's like, well, come on.

[00:32:31] No, and my brother even got into this in high school.

[00:32:35] He was both great at playing clarinet and doing

[00:32:38] baseball and teaching again.

[00:32:40] They were doing Russian roulette.

[00:32:41] You got to pick one or the other.

[00:32:42] It's like, well, why shouldn't have to spin the

[00:32:47] dial?

[00:32:47] He shouldn't have to choose if he really loves

[00:32:50] both.

[00:32:51] But oh, it's definitely a little touch and go.

[00:32:56] If you're capable of doing both at a high level,

[00:32:59] then yeah, but at the same time both require practice

[00:33:05] both require time and time is finite for sure.

[00:33:10] So I do think there is something to that, but

[00:33:15] you're going to be sacrificing a lot if you

[00:33:18] give something your time and for a lot of people

[00:33:23] or from my point of view, I'll point that out.

[00:33:27] That's fine.

[00:33:27] My point of view is that when you are doing so

[00:33:31] much from and I was pretty busy.

[00:33:34] But if you're doing something like music and

[00:33:37] sports, sometimes what you can sacrifice is either

[00:33:41] your education or even worse.

[00:33:44] I would argue your social life because you

[00:33:47] practicing clarinet all the time or you be practicing

[00:33:50] sports all the time.

[00:33:52] So yeah, if you are passionate about both and

[00:33:56] that's the only two things you want to do.

[00:33:57] There shouldn't be any limitations to that.

[00:34:00] But at the same time, if you want to really

[00:34:04] be great at something for the most part, you

[00:34:07] got to choose one.

[00:34:07] You have to choose one and that's just the

[00:34:10] case.

[00:34:10] That's fine.

[00:34:12] I am for me.

[00:34:14] It just sounded like maybe he should have

[00:34:16] just tried it for maybe a month and then

[00:34:18] you know, call the spade a spade like, hey, you

[00:34:21] know, I can't handle both.

[00:34:25] But I don't know.

[00:34:26] It was just hard to tell if the teachers

[00:34:28] were just being very territorial or if they

[00:34:31] really had just seen it happen too many

[00:34:32] times and they were just trying to be better

[00:34:35] safe than sorry.

[00:34:37] Yeah, I don't know.

[00:34:38] I mean, I wouldn't be able to tell you

[00:34:42] but there's some teachers care a lot.

[00:34:47] Some teachers care about what they're doing.

[00:34:49] So good teachers mean a lot when it comes

[00:34:52] down to these situations.

[00:34:54] I feel like we should have a conversation

[00:35:01] about money.

[00:35:01] I feel like a lot of people can get

[00:35:04] taken advantage of.

[00:35:05] They borrow money.

[00:35:06] They don't but they only view the

[00:35:08] friend as just that.

[00:35:09] Hey, you know free money.

[00:35:10] We'll return after these messages.

[00:36:09] about who would win a fight between

[00:36:11] Goku and Superman?

[00:36:12] Hi, I'm James Gavsey and on

[00:36:14] The Who Would Win Show, me and

[00:36:15] my co-host Ray ignore anything

[00:36:17] important happening in the outside

[00:36:18] world and debate fictional battles

[00:36:20] between characters from comics,

[00:36:21] movies and video games.

[00:36:22] We got a new show every week and

[00:36:24] almost always am I the winner?

[00:36:26] Yeah, not true Ray.

[00:36:27] In the past we've discussed such

[00:36:29] matches as Captain America

[00:36:30] versus Darth Vader, Solid Snake

[00:36:33] versus the Iron Giant, classic

[00:36:35] matchups like Robocop versus

[00:36:37] Terminator and even the Muppets

[00:36:38] versus Sesame Street.

[00:36:40] That one was crazy.

[00:36:42] So if you're a fan of geek

[00:36:43] culture and love a spirited

[00:36:44] debate, check out The Who Would

[00:36:46] Win Show wherever you get your

[00:36:47] podcast or check us out at

[00:36:49] www.whowouldwinshow.com.

[00:36:51] I should be able to judge

[00:36:52] someone on their character as

[00:36:53] opposed to just, hey, you

[00:36:55] know, how much do you have in

[00:36:56] the bank?

[00:36:57] You're the cool kid.

[00:37:02] That's it's it's tough

[00:37:05] because throughout the entirety

[00:37:07] of human history, the one who

[00:37:08] had the most resources was

[00:37:10] the guy.

[00:37:11] Right?

[00:37:13] Buys everyone drinks.

[00:37:15] I mean, that's just it is

[00:37:16] what it is because you know,

[00:37:18] there is a hierarchy in life.

[00:37:20] There always will be a

[00:37:22] hierarchy in life.

[00:37:23] There's those who succeed and

[00:37:25] then there is those who do

[00:37:27] not. There's the leaders.

[00:37:28] There's the followers.

[00:37:30] There's the chiefs and there

[00:37:31] is the Indians, as I say.

[00:37:33] So I mean, that's just

[00:37:36] the name of the game.

[00:37:37] Now, should you be able to

[00:37:39] look past that?

[00:37:40] Of course, I do.

[00:37:41] I think money inherently

[00:37:43] should be the end all be all

[00:37:45] the character should be, but

[00:37:47] the character doesn't mean

[00:37:48] anything. If you can't do

[00:37:49] anything yourself in terms

[00:37:52] of being self-sufficient in

[00:37:54] terms of impact, your

[00:37:56] impact, your notoriety,

[00:37:58] your your character, your

[00:38:00] the qualities of who you are

[00:38:02] are more important, but

[00:38:04] those qualities to really

[00:38:05] be as potent as people

[00:38:09] want them to be that

[00:38:10] would also equate to having

[00:38:11] money. It's more so how

[00:38:13] I see it is that there

[00:38:16] are those people who are

[00:38:17] terrible. They have certain

[00:38:19] qualities are terrible and

[00:38:21] can make a lot of money.

[00:38:22] They can luck into money

[00:38:23] or they can be in the

[00:38:24] right niche as of right

[00:38:25] now. It's way easier for

[00:38:27] the wrong people to get

[00:38:28] a lot of money because

[00:38:29] of social media nowadays

[00:38:32] and that's probably you

[00:38:33] can definitely do like

[00:38:35] the capitalist system, but

[00:38:37] there are also a lot of

[00:38:38] people have a lot of money

[00:38:39] who earned it the right

[00:38:40] ways and because of who

[00:38:42] they are. That's how

[00:38:44] they made the money. So

[00:38:46] yeah, you should look past

[00:38:47] the money. You should look

[00:38:48] at the character, but

[00:38:51] sometimes the money.

[00:38:52] The only reason why they

[00:38:53] have the money is because

[00:38:54] of the character.

[00:38:56] Yeah, no, that's a good

[00:38:57] conversation to have too.

[00:38:58] It's like, hey, this

[00:38:59] person can be your

[00:39:00] coworker versus your

[00:39:02] friend, you know,

[00:39:04] or social friend, but

[00:39:06] not personal friend, you

[00:39:07] know.

[00:39:10] Yeah.

[00:39:11] For the most part, when

[00:39:15] he comes down to it though,

[00:39:17] I mean,

[00:39:19] it's good to just be

[00:39:20] educated. I think people

[00:39:22] the best thing I can

[00:39:23] say to people is that

[00:39:24] don't hope on luck

[00:39:26] for to get a whole

[00:39:27] bunch of that's a good

[00:39:28] point.

[00:39:29] Yeah, whether it's

[00:39:31] gambling or the lottery

[00:39:34] or hoping you find a

[00:39:35] million dollars on the

[00:39:36] street or even social

[00:39:38] media. Social media is

[00:39:39] a very competitive

[00:39:40] market, but people think

[00:39:41] I go viral.

[00:39:42] I get rich.

[00:39:44] That's that is

[00:39:46] not how it works.

[00:39:47] Now play the

[00:39:48] algorithm. Sure, but

[00:39:50] even playing the

[00:39:51] algorithm requires a

[00:39:52] certain level of

[00:39:55] effort and ability.

[00:39:58] Now there is easy

[00:39:59] ways to make money.

[00:39:59] Of course, you know,

[00:40:02] you can argue drugs.

[00:40:03] You can argue

[00:40:05] a lot of the things

[00:40:06] that OnlyFans is

[00:40:08] right now, but

[00:40:10] yeah, no, that's

[00:40:11] true too.

[00:40:12] It seems like also

[00:40:13] everyone likes to do

[00:40:14] the whole this all

[00:40:16] of this is bad.

[00:40:16] It's like, well, let's

[00:40:18] let's actually have a

[00:40:18] conversation on that.

[00:40:19] You know, like do

[00:40:20] you want to be a

[00:40:20] sex worker?

[00:40:21] Do you want to sell

[00:40:21] legal drugs?

[00:40:22] You know,

[00:40:26] yeah, I'm sure

[00:40:27] people don't necessarily

[00:40:28] want that, but they

[00:40:29] are they are people

[00:40:30] who are clouded

[00:40:31] thinking that the money

[00:40:32] will put them on where

[00:40:33] they want to be.

[00:40:35] Then they find out

[00:40:36] that this is not

[00:40:36] where I want to be

[00:40:37] oftentimes.

[00:40:39] So it's just a

[00:40:40] misguided notion.

[00:40:42] Oh, yeah.

[00:40:46] It's very confusing

[00:40:47] that again, like

[00:40:49] it kind of goes back

[00:40:50] to square one.

[00:40:51] If you don't want

[00:40:52] people asking questions

[00:40:53] about this, why not

[00:40:54] just open up

[00:40:56] the conversation

[00:40:58] and put it to bed?

[00:41:01] Yeah, I do think

[00:41:03] as of right now

[00:41:05] I preach consistently

[00:41:06] on my podcast that

[00:41:08] having a conversation

[00:41:09] with people shouldn't

[00:41:10] be as difficult as

[00:41:12] people believe it

[00:41:13] to be.

[00:41:14] I will gladly

[00:41:16] go in the opposite

[00:41:16] direction after

[00:41:18] I've asked on the

[00:41:19] answer instead of

[00:41:20] you looking at me

[00:41:21] saying, please

[00:41:21] stop asking that.

[00:41:23] It's like, okay.

[00:41:25] Yeah, it's a

[00:41:27] it's a shame

[00:41:28] they

[00:41:30] that people think

[00:41:31] that discourse

[00:41:32] is so impossible

[00:41:34] because in reality

[00:41:35] people are more

[00:41:36] alike than they are

[00:41:37] different oftentimes.

[00:41:39] But

[00:41:40] again, as I said

[00:41:42] earlier on

[00:41:43] people are

[00:41:44] ideologically captured.

[00:41:45] They have preconceived

[00:41:46] notions that cloud

[00:41:48] their perceptions of

[00:41:49] people which

[00:41:51] is not a good thing.

[00:41:53] Yeah, I have gotten

[00:41:54] that a bit like

[00:41:55] kind of the stink

[00:41:56] eye like you're

[00:41:57] clearly trying to

[00:41:58] anger me.

[00:41:58] I'm like no

[00:42:00] I'm

[00:42:00] last detective

[00:42:01] it was your job

[00:42:02] to answer this question

[00:42:03] if it's

[00:42:04] a dumb question.

[00:42:05] Yeah, you know,

[00:42:06] I'll

[00:42:07] I'll be the judge

[00:42:08] of that.

[00:42:10] If it's not clear

[00:42:11] then people are

[00:42:11] going to keep asking it.

[00:42:14] Right.

[00:42:19] Tricky, tricky.

[00:42:22] Well,

[00:42:23] there's just some good issues

[00:42:24] too.

[00:42:25] Going back to schools

[00:42:26] I kind of feel like

[00:42:28] gyms should start doing

[00:42:29] like more sponsorships

[00:42:30] with schools, you know,

[00:42:31] if they want to do the whole

[00:42:32] hey, you know

[00:42:34] we encourage these kinds

[00:42:35] of workouts and everything

[00:42:36] but you know instead of

[00:42:38] getting

[00:42:40] you know

[00:42:41] it's kind of like how

[00:42:42] people will do the whole

[00:42:42] education could be free

[00:42:44] arguments is like well

[00:42:46] I would love for that to be

[00:42:47] it's likely not going to

[00:42:48] happen anytime soon

[00:42:49] because again there's

[00:42:51] it's easier to

[00:42:53] misinform and not make

[00:42:54] any money

[00:42:55] and make money off of

[00:42:56] people's education.

[00:42:57] So if anything

[00:43:01] we could at least ask

[00:43:02] for

[00:43:03] you know food is also

[00:43:05] another topic

[00:43:05] but if anything

[00:43:06] I think fitness

[00:43:08] could be a better

[00:43:11] opening

[00:43:11] where we could encourage

[00:43:13] people

[00:43:13] to have more

[00:43:16] you know

[00:43:17] affordable and easier

[00:43:18] workout areas instead

[00:43:20] of just you know

[00:43:21] have every excuse in the

[00:43:22] world to get distracted

[00:43:23] and not work out.

[00:43:26] Yeah for me I mean

[00:43:27] we've talked about a lot

[00:43:28] of things that are

[00:43:29] important in setting

[00:43:31] them up to be a

[00:43:32] proper adult

[00:43:34] for the most part.

[00:43:34] Yeah.

[00:43:36] I will be very

[00:43:37] clear when I say this

[00:43:38] and for a person who

[00:43:39] got very lazy during

[00:43:41] COVID and put on a

[00:43:42] lot of weight

[00:43:43] now I'm used to

[00:43:44] being in the military

[00:43:44] I used to be an athlete

[00:43:45] so I just got really really

[00:43:46] lazy.

[00:43:47] It's not okay to be

[00:43:48] overweight.

[00:43:49] I just don't I will

[00:43:50] never abide by that

[00:43:52] now if you want to say

[00:43:52] certain people are

[00:43:53] attractive

[00:43:54] I don't care

[00:43:55] in terms of the health

[00:43:56] aspect

[00:43:57] it's not okay to be

[00:43:58] overweight so

[00:43:59] more fitness

[00:44:01] or

[00:44:02] better fitness

[00:44:02] in schools

[00:44:04] I mean I always love

[00:44:05] PE in schools

[00:44:05] PE was like obviously

[00:44:07] the best program

[00:44:08] I don't see why now

[00:44:09] we can't have more

[00:44:10] fitness classes

[00:44:12] in terms of

[00:44:13] you know

[00:44:14] doing something

[00:44:15] there's obviously physical

[00:44:16] fun things you can do

[00:44:18] but there's

[00:44:19] there's a lot of

[00:44:20] equipment in a lot

[00:44:20] of these schools

[00:44:21] at both schools

[00:44:22] I went to had a

[00:44:23] weight room.

[00:44:23] I know it's usually

[00:44:24] for the high school

[00:44:25] team

[00:44:25] but they can't use

[00:44:26] it all the time

[00:44:27] during school

[00:44:27] so other students

[00:44:28] should be able to

[00:44:29] use it as well

[00:44:30] so

[00:44:30] bingo

[00:44:31] yeah

[00:44:31] we should be

[00:44:32] able to

[00:44:32] not only

[00:44:34] help them

[00:44:34] be fit

[00:44:35] but also

[00:44:36] inform them

[00:44:37] on how to

[00:44:38] be fit

[00:44:38] I do think that is

[00:44:40] very important

[00:44:41] America is

[00:44:42] way too

[00:44:43] obese

[00:44:43] so

[00:44:44] yeah

[00:44:45] be healthier

[00:44:46] healthier people

[00:44:47] come on

[00:44:48] that's a good point

[00:44:49] I see similar

[00:44:50] kind of

[00:44:51] conversations when

[00:44:51] people go

[00:44:52] it's okay to be

[00:44:53] ignorant

[00:44:53] like well

[00:44:56] if you can

[00:44:56] avoid this

[00:44:58] confusion

[00:44:58] or

[00:44:59] not knowing about

[00:45:00] something important

[00:45:01] you know

[00:45:01] as

[00:45:03] it's not really

[00:45:04] something you

[00:45:04] want to keep

[00:45:05] giving excuses to

[00:45:06] it's kind of

[00:45:07] just encouraging

[00:45:07] failure

[00:45:10] especially if you

[00:45:10] got to learn about

[00:45:11] it eventually

[00:45:13] no exactly

[00:45:16] being the best

[00:45:16] version of yourself

[00:45:17] is something

[00:45:17] everybody should

[00:45:18] strive for

[00:45:18] and

[00:45:19] being healthy

[00:45:19] and fit

[00:45:20] is part of that

[00:45:21] for sure

[00:45:22] I mean

[00:45:24] I've gone back

[00:45:24] into working out

[00:45:25] just because

[00:45:26] I was suffering

[00:45:26] from insomnia

[00:45:27] and it was just

[00:45:28] good to make

[00:45:29] just

[00:45:31] then

[00:45:32] I find

[00:45:32] just kind of like

[00:45:33] anything

[00:45:33] it just seems

[00:45:34] like

[00:45:34] I have noticed

[00:45:35] that

[00:45:35] people kind of

[00:45:36] get

[00:45:36] thrust into it

[00:45:37] and if they

[00:45:37] get bored

[00:45:38] with the sport

[00:45:38] they don't want to

[00:45:40] or just any kind of

[00:45:41] whatever the

[00:45:42] workout is

[00:45:43] like well

[00:45:43] find a different

[00:45:44] workout

[00:45:45] if you want to

[00:45:45] make it more

[00:45:46] mindless

[00:45:46] but still

[00:45:47] it does

[00:45:48] something good

[00:45:48] for your body

[00:45:49] do that

[00:45:50] I'm doing

[00:45:50] swimming right now

[00:45:51] I'm doing

[00:45:52] high-intensity

[00:45:53] workouts is

[00:45:54] a good way

[00:45:54] to save

[00:45:55] some time

[00:45:55] just

[00:45:57] walk fast

[00:45:59] then go

[00:45:59] for a

[00:46:00] 30 second

[00:46:01] jog

[00:46:01] and then

[00:46:02] back to

[00:46:03] walk

[00:46:04] and then

[00:46:05] repeat

[00:46:05] as many times

[00:46:06] as you want

[00:46:07] it seems

[00:46:07] like there

[00:46:08] are so many

[00:46:09] shortcuts now

[00:46:10] that still

[00:46:11] get it done

[00:46:11] without it

[00:46:12] being

[00:46:13] an inconvenience

[00:46:14] or distraction

[00:46:15] or again

[00:46:15] going back to

[00:46:16] I don't have

[00:46:17] the time

[00:46:17] or money

[00:46:17] yes you do

[00:46:19] you have to

[00:46:19] make it

[00:46:21] Yeah

[00:46:22] that's

[00:46:23] definitely

[00:46:23] not a

[00:46:24] good

[00:46:24] excuse

[00:46:26] humans are

[00:46:26] not designed

[00:46:27] to be

[00:46:28] overweight

[00:46:29] and not

[00:46:29] fit

[00:46:30] anyway

[00:46:30] like

[00:46:31] no animal

[00:46:31] is designed

[00:46:32] to be

[00:46:32] that way

[00:46:33] we are

[00:46:34] designed

[00:46:34] to be

[00:46:35] active

[00:46:35] and

[00:46:37] even

[00:46:37] no one

[00:46:38] I'm not

[00:46:38] even saying

[00:46:39] you need

[00:46:43] Not even

[00:46:43] gym-wrap

[00:46:44] shade

[00:46:44] you don't even

[00:46:44] need

[00:46:45] you don't need

[00:46:45] a bench

[00:46:46] two plates

[00:46:46] you don't

[00:46:47] need to

[00:46:48] run

[00:46:48] a mile

[00:46:49] in under

[00:46:50] eight minutes

[00:46:51] you just

[00:46:52] need to

[00:46:52] be

[00:46:52] in shape

[00:46:53] what that

[00:46:53] means

[00:46:54] is

[00:46:55] per person

[00:46:56] but you

[00:46:56] just need

[00:46:57] to be

[00:46:57] healthy

[00:46:57] your body

[00:46:58] needs

[00:46:58] to be

[00:46:58] healthy

[00:46:59] you should

[00:46:59] be able

[00:47:00] to

[00:47:00] walk

[00:47:01] like

[00:47:02] a mile

[00:47:03] and it's

[00:47:03] fine

[00:47:03] you should

[00:47:04] be able

[00:47:04] to

[00:47:04] jog

[00:47:04] a mile

[00:47:05] and not

[00:47:05] like

[00:47:06] die

[00:47:06] keel

[00:47:07] over

[00:47:07] to be

[00:47:07] honest

[00:47:08] so

[00:47:10] there are

[00:47:10] different

[00:47:10] ways

[00:47:11] to do

[00:47:11] that

[00:47:12] healthy because

[00:47:13] it's just

[00:47:13] good for

[00:47:13] you

[00:47:14] good for

[00:47:14] your body

[00:47:14] good for

[00:47:15] your mind

[00:47:16] and

[00:47:18] everybody

[00:47:18] can make

[00:47:18] time

[00:47:19] people

[00:47:20] just

[00:47:20] be

[00:47:21] BSing

[00:47:21] sometimes

[00:47:23] I know

[00:47:23] you are

[00:47:23] watching

[00:47:24] TikTok

[00:47:24] at least

[00:47:25] two hours

[00:47:27] one of

[00:47:27] those

[00:47:27] hours

[00:47:28] can go

[00:47:28] to working

[00:47:28] out

[00:47:29] night

[00:47:29] and

[00:47:31] totally

[00:47:33] and don't

[00:47:34] bullshit a

[00:47:34] bullshitter

[00:47:35] that would

[00:47:35] be a

[00:47:35] cool class

[00:47:36] too

[00:47:36] is like

[00:47:37] how to

[00:47:37] tell

[00:47:37] someone

[00:47:37] is lying

[00:47:38] or

[00:47:39] just so

[00:47:39] full

[00:47:39] of it

[00:47:40] you know

[00:47:40] it's just

[00:47:40] if it's

[00:47:41] not

[00:47:41] ringing

[00:47:42] true

[00:47:42] then it's

[00:47:43] probably

[00:47:43] not

[00:47:43] true

[00:47:47] and

[00:47:47] it would be

[00:47:48] cool to

[00:47:48] do some

[00:47:48] other kind

[00:47:49] of just

[00:47:49] social

[00:47:49] class.

[00:47:50] I know the

[00:47:51] most I had

[00:47:51] probably

[00:47:51] in college

[00:47:52] was

[00:47:54] just

[00:47:55] appropriate

[00:47:56] versus

[00:47:56] inappropriate

[00:47:56] workplace

[00:47:57] behavior

[00:47:57] and of course

[00:47:58] we would

[00:47:58] watch

[00:47:58] you know

[00:47:59] some funny

[00:47:59] sitcoms

[00:48:00] that brought

[00:48:00] up amusing

[00:48:00] subjects

[00:48:01] like

[00:48:01] that

[00:48:01] and take

[00:48:02] notes

[00:48:02] but

[00:48:03] it was a

[00:48:03] I'm just

[00:48:04] glad we

[00:48:04] had that

[00:48:04] because

[00:48:06] I feel

[00:48:06] like

[00:48:07] you also

[00:48:07] kind of

[00:48:07] notice that

[00:48:08] too

[00:48:08] we

[00:48:08] talk about

[00:48:09] hey

[00:48:09] just be

[00:48:10] the best

[00:48:10] be honest

[00:48:11] and yet

[00:48:12] that can't prepare us

[00:48:13] for

[00:48:14] when inevitably

[00:48:15] we have

[00:48:16] a toxic

[00:48:18] workplace

[00:48:18] that we

[00:48:18] unfortunately

[00:48:19] become

[00:48:19] part of

[00:48:20] down the

[00:48:20] road

[00:48:20] or we

[00:48:21] find out

[00:48:22] hey

[00:48:22] you know

[00:48:22] I did

[00:48:23] everything

[00:48:23] I was

[00:48:24] supposed to

[00:48:24] but

[00:48:25] some my

[00:48:26] superior

[00:48:26] was

[00:48:27] inappropriate

[00:48:27] or

[00:48:29] my coworker

[00:48:30] just

[00:48:30] outed me

[00:48:31] and said

[00:48:32] some really

[00:48:32] messed up

[00:48:33] stuff

[00:48:33] that was

[00:48:34] not

[00:48:35] you know

[00:48:35] it was

[00:48:35] false

[00:48:36] but

[00:48:36] the rumors

[00:48:37] killed

[00:48:37] and I

[00:48:37] couldn't

[00:48:38] work there

[00:48:38] anymore

[00:48:38] you know

[00:48:41] seems like

[00:48:41] there's just always

[00:48:44] some extra

[00:48:45] layer we could

[00:48:46] probably do

[00:48:46] to just

[00:48:46] realize

[00:48:47] hey

[00:48:47] you know

[00:48:49] how do you

[00:48:49] come back

[00:48:49] from that

[00:48:50] instead of

[00:48:50] just

[00:48:51] threatening

[00:48:52] to sue

[00:48:52] each other

[00:48:53] or

[00:48:54] say

[00:48:55] oh

[00:48:55] get over it

[00:48:56] oh

[00:48:56] change your

[00:48:56] name

[00:48:57] change your

[00:48:57] resume

[00:48:58] you know

[00:48:58] it's like

[00:48:58] well that

[00:48:59] that's not

[00:48:59] good enough

[00:49:01] I can't

[00:49:01] control

[00:49:02] if I

[00:49:02] meet a

[00:49:02] bully

[00:49:03] at a

[00:49:03] gym

[00:49:03] that I

[00:49:04] used to

[00:49:04] know at

[00:49:04] school

[00:49:05] you know

[00:49:06] how do

[00:49:06] I react

[00:49:06] to that?

[00:49:09] Yeah

[00:49:10] you could

[00:49:10] definitely

[00:49:10] argue that

[00:49:12] social

[00:49:12] scenarios

[00:49:13] can be

[00:49:13] layered

[00:49:14] a little bit

[00:49:15] more

[00:49:15] yeah

[00:49:16] for sure

[00:49:17] in terms of

[00:49:18] conflict

[00:49:19] resolution

[00:49:19] I definitely

[00:49:20] had a

[00:49:22] podcast

[00:49:22] episode

[00:49:22] and a

[00:49:23] conflict

[00:49:23] resolution

[00:49:24] expert

[00:49:25] came on

[00:49:25] to talk

[00:49:26] about that

[00:49:26] more

[00:49:27] specifically

[00:49:27] in the

[00:49:27] political

[00:49:28] space

[00:49:28] but

[00:49:29] in general

[00:49:30] you can

[00:49:30] apply those

[00:49:30] techniques

[00:49:31] and a

[00:49:32] wide

[00:49:32] variety

[00:49:33] area

[00:49:34] scenarios

[00:49:36] for the

[00:49:37] most

[00:49:37] part

[00:49:37] I'll

[00:49:38] say

[00:49:38] that

[00:49:40] you

[00:49:41] when it

[00:49:42] comes

[00:49:42] down

[00:49:42] to

[00:49:42] like tell them

[00:49:43] the best

[00:49:44] and

[00:49:45] kind of

[00:49:45] give them

[00:49:46] hope

[00:49:48] I do

[00:49:48] think

[00:49:49] hope

[00:49:50] is something

[00:49:51] that

[00:49:51] should

[00:49:51] continuously

[00:49:52] be taught

[00:49:53] so I

[00:49:53] understand

[00:49:54] why you

[00:49:54] want to

[00:49:55] make them

[00:49:55] believe

[00:49:56] that they

[00:49:57] can

[00:49:57] achieve

[00:49:57] the

[00:49:57] best

[00:49:58] future

[00:49:58] because it

[00:49:59] it motivates

[00:50:00] them to

[00:50:01] try to

[00:50:02] achieve

[00:50:02] the

[00:50:03] hopeful

[00:50:03] future

[00:50:04] that

[00:50:04] they

[00:50:04] envision

[00:50:05] based off

[00:50:05] your

[00:50:06] words

[00:50:07] so

[00:50:08] instilling

[00:50:09] hope

[00:50:09] will always

[00:50:10] be a

[00:50:10] good thing

[00:50:11] and that

[00:50:11] should

[00:50:11] be the

[00:50:12] standard

[00:50:12] but also giving them enough context to be able to maneuver towards that goal

[00:50:18] will also be

[00:50:20] equally as important

[00:50:22] it really is hard

[00:50:23] I mean

[00:50:24] my mother would always recommend the whole sticks and stones

[00:50:27] which

[00:50:28] I think is a losing streak

[00:50:29] because

[00:50:30] you know

[00:50:30] who talks that way

[00:50:31] and

[00:50:32] by the time you come up with the retort

[00:50:34] you've already been punched in the face

[00:50:36] you know

[00:50:38] my father would do the whole

[00:50:40] hey you can punch back

[00:50:41] but see

[00:50:41] I wasn't a fighter

[00:50:42] so it seems like we gotta

[00:50:44] learn just other ways to be the bigger man

[00:50:47] I got through by just ignoring people

[00:50:49] but that still ate me up

[00:50:50] years later

[00:50:51] I was like

[00:50:52] man

[00:50:52] what would I say now

[00:50:53] or

[00:50:54] what would I do to stay in my ground

[00:50:56] maybe

[00:50:56] you know

[00:50:57] maybe that guy was a nice person

[00:50:58] but they decided to be a jackass one day

[00:51:01] and they kept doing it

[00:51:03] because they were getting laughs from the class

[00:51:04] not realizing what an insensitive jerk they were

[00:51:07] you know

[00:51:08] it'd be cool to do it a different way

[00:51:10] and make them mature

[00:51:12] and man up

[00:51:13] and realize

[00:51:13] hey you know

[00:51:14] I gotta stop this

[00:51:15] because someone actually got hurt

[00:51:17] you know

[00:51:18] yeah

[00:51:19] the confidence is definitely a big part of it

[00:51:23] having confidence in yourself too

[00:51:25] kind of believe in who you are

[00:51:27] that allows you to

[00:51:29] communicate pretty effectively against the other person

[00:51:33] I've for the most part always been a pretty confident person

[00:51:36] so I never really had to deal with any of the other people

[00:51:38] I never really had to deal with any of that

[00:51:40] oh awesome

[00:51:42] being confident also

[00:51:45] also means that you should be able to

[00:51:47] utilize your resources

[00:51:50] in the sense that

[00:51:52] I mean if you have to

[00:51:54] get other people involved

[00:51:56] if they are really that much of a problem

[00:51:58] get other people involved

[00:51:59] and nip this in the bud immediately

[00:52:01] make it very clear that this is not cool

[00:52:03] so

[00:52:04] in these situations

[00:52:06] so

[00:52:07] people are conditioned

[00:52:09] to an extent based on how they grow up

[00:52:11] to not ask for help

[00:52:15] right

[00:52:16] that you're not gonna go anywhere doing that

[00:52:19] that I can go anybody

[00:52:21] I'm really glad you brought that up

[00:52:22] I have a relative

[00:52:25] who has had to

[00:52:27] we have

[00:52:28] we have offered

[00:52:29] ways to help him out

[00:52:30] the caretaker who he's

[00:52:32] who's seeing him has offered different ways

[00:52:34] and he's always pushing him aside

[00:52:35] keeps doing something that they're trying to avoid

[00:52:37] having him do

[00:52:40] like fall on his face

[00:52:42] or get a drink

[00:52:43] that's not good for his heart

[00:52:44] it's just amazing how

[00:52:46] many just feel like they are impervious

[00:52:48] they have lied all their life

[00:52:50] they have done

[00:52:52] ways to shake it off and get back up

[00:52:54] but it's really nipping them in the butt

[00:52:56] and it's just like well

[00:52:58] it's okay to ask for help

[00:53:00] if it's just once at least

[00:53:02] what's the problem?

[00:53:05] doesn't make you any weaker

[00:53:09] no I definitely agree

[00:53:11] and I mean sometimes

[00:53:13] from my perspective at the very least

[00:53:16] no matter how much you care about the person

[00:53:18] if they are now willing to accept the help

[00:53:20] then at that point for me

[00:53:22] at the very least he's just gotta let them

[00:53:24] figure it out by themselves

[00:53:26] until they figure it out

[00:53:28] they're not going to accept your help

[00:53:31] totally

[00:53:34] and

[00:53:35] it seems hard to just kind of

[00:53:38] even open up the dialogue

[00:53:40] they will just say

[00:53:41] nah man

[00:53:49] are there any other things that

[00:53:51] you feel are still

[00:53:53] needing to be addressed before we go I guess

[00:53:59] I guess another thing

[00:54:01] to kind of bring up

[00:54:03] just so more people are kind of

[00:54:06] informed about the issue

[00:54:08] because this is the hot button issue right now

[00:54:10] so I've been kind of repeating this

[00:54:12] pretty frequently

[00:54:14] because people are for the most part

[00:54:16] pretty misinformed about the topic

[00:54:18] because it will have rhyme-ifications down the line

[00:54:20] similar to the social media ban that I was talking about

[00:54:23] is the stuff relating to TikTok

[00:54:25] in the sense that TikTok ban may

[00:54:28] be put in place for the United States

[00:54:30] and just to be very clear

[00:54:32] if it hasn't happened already

[00:54:34] the Senate will make a vote

[00:54:36] and if the vote is approved by the Senate

[00:54:38] to get the bill passed

[00:54:40] Joe Biden said he's already going to sign it

[00:54:42] so it's up to the Senate as of right now

[00:54:44] TikTok will be banned

[00:54:46] in the United States of America

[00:54:48] unless ByteDance

[00:54:50] sells TikTok to

[00:54:52] a more than likely American

[00:54:54] corporation whether that's Google

[00:54:56] Apple, Microsoft, etc.

[00:54:58] etc. and

[00:55:00] that means when TikTok

[00:55:02] is banned that

[00:55:04] it will not be available in all these app

[00:55:06] app stores and

[00:55:08] you won't be able to update the app and it will eventually

[00:55:10] go mute over time so

[00:55:12] the reason why I bring

[00:55:14] that up is there's a lot of

[00:55:16] discourse about it and I want

[00:55:18] to be very clear comparing

[00:55:20] America and China

[00:55:22] is stupid don't ever compare America

[00:55:24] and how it handles corporations

[00:55:26] to how China does

[00:55:28] we are very different governments and

[00:55:30] very different

[00:55:32] ways of handling business

[00:55:34] so anybody who does that

[00:55:36] oh China does this America no

[00:55:38] that's stupid don't do that it doesn't make any

[00:55:40] sense yeah

[00:55:42] a legit criticism

[00:55:44] that you can put on

[00:55:46] the heads of

[00:55:48] the government is that there was

[00:55:50] a solution that was

[00:55:52] introduced called Project Texas

[00:55:54] where they said they were going to put all the information

[00:55:56] on a cloud

[00:55:58] infrastructure

[00:56:00] of only all America data

[00:56:02] will be only accessible

[00:56:04] to Americans on this cloud

[00:56:06] and bite dance

[00:56:08] and TikTok do not have access

[00:56:10] to this so this is a solution

[00:56:12] proposed and it has

[00:56:14] been ignored so if

[00:56:16] you're concerned about information

[00:56:18] being given to bite dance which

[00:56:20] is a legitimate concern

[00:56:22] but they offer a solution with Project Texas

[00:56:24] and you ignore it

[00:56:26] it makes me think that this is more of a greed

[00:56:28] thing than a people's

[00:56:30] safety thing in the sense

[00:56:32] that we want to own TikTok

[00:56:34] so that's why we're doing this that's what it

[00:56:36] feels like from my point of

[00:56:38] view so no I like

[00:56:40] these type of topics is like

[00:56:42] there's this intent but is it

[00:56:44] being executed that way is being carried

[00:56:46] out that way and if

[00:56:48] it's kind of like when there's all these financial

[00:56:50] aid solutions but not enough

[00:56:52] people are being notified that it

[00:56:54] exists or where to find them

[00:56:56] so it's like well that's just as bad as

[00:56:58] having free money but not being

[00:57:00] able to give it away because no one

[00:57:02] shows up this is like well

[00:57:04] there are all these options

[00:57:06] but something is not getting

[00:57:08] out you know you can't just say oh people

[00:57:10] are dumb well did you

[00:57:12] did you have a

[00:57:14] checklist that you checked off

[00:57:16] no okay

[00:57:18] it reminds me

[00:57:20] of staffing agencies every once in a while

[00:57:22] I would see some that were pretty poorly reviewed

[00:57:24] or just noting how the front desks were very

[00:57:26] rude or assigning you to a job

[00:57:28] you had clearly said I'm not fit for

[00:57:30] I don't do that kind of work

[00:57:32] or

[00:57:34] just being again

[00:57:36] you know just

[00:57:38] very unhelpful

[00:57:40] which made you wonder you know

[00:57:42] well it couldn't

[00:57:44] be that hard to at least

[00:57:46] answer a question instead of just

[00:57:48] say look at this website well

[00:57:50] it's like not every website is specific or detailed

[00:57:54] it kindness

[00:57:56] costs nothing

[00:57:58] yeah I agree

[00:58:00] I've had it before

[00:58:04] I do mobile security and every once in a while

[00:58:06] I will get a bizarre question that's not in my

[00:58:08] forte but instead of saying

[00:58:10] don't know man you know leave me alone

[00:58:12] I will

[00:58:14] you know turn

[00:58:16] around and say hey you know

[00:58:18] we as security we are not responsible

[00:58:20] for towing or

[00:58:22] something that is clearly a leasing office

[00:58:24] issue but here is a number

[00:58:26] that is for the leasing office

[00:58:28] or is for a towing service if I happen

[00:58:30] to have it on me or I would just say hey

[00:58:32] ask your landlord you know they might

[00:58:34] this is a solution they might have

[00:58:36] you know

[00:58:38] that was not part of this conversation

[00:58:40] wish I had more info

[00:58:43] nah definitely

[00:58:45] at the very least

[00:58:47] there are people in the right direction

[00:58:49] that's 100%

[00:58:51] give them a reason to say have a nice day instead of

[00:58:53] thank you have a nice day

[00:58:55] with you know it's kind of like my sister would

[00:58:57] do this and we would call her on it every once in a while where

[00:58:59] she would

[00:59:01] instead of acknowledging

[00:59:03] she would often

[00:59:05] say okay

[00:59:07] you know you shouted that way that's

[00:59:09] clearly I want you to shut up

[00:59:11] as opposed to no

[00:59:13] I got it we're not going to have this conversation

[00:59:15] again

[00:59:17] in fact I

[00:59:19] find that saying different alternatives

[00:59:21] you know that tells people

[00:59:23] he went that far you know

[00:59:25] he's not being smart-ass he's not being clever

[00:59:27] he you know

[00:59:29] even a simple 10-4 or some other

[00:59:31] alternate way is letting people know I am

[00:59:33] dialed in I heard you

[00:59:35] and I'm giving you

[00:59:37] an extra

[00:59:39] acknowledgement

[00:59:41] completely understood

[00:59:45] justifiably so or

[00:59:47] I heard

[00:59:49] every word

[00:59:51] or even repeat it back

[00:59:53] then there's no doubt

[00:59:55] yeah

[00:59:57] I did it with my boss one time

[00:59:59] and he gave me a thumbs up in the group chat

[01:00:01] he's like see this is what kind of response

[01:00:03] I want

[01:00:05] you're not being a yes man

[01:00:07] you actually repeated what I said

[01:00:09] even simpler

[01:00:11] client is very

[01:00:13] angry they are not

[01:00:15] good at using their words let's

[01:00:17] go the extra mile to

[01:00:19] acknowledge them and

[01:00:21] do this or that task

[01:00:23] this way and it really is

[01:00:25] amazing how again we all

[01:00:27] want the same thing we just don't always

[01:00:29] make the effort to say what we want

[01:00:31] it's easy to be

[01:00:33] the rude bar patron than it is

[01:00:35] apparently to

[01:00:37] understand

[01:00:39] that would be a cool

[01:00:46] thing before we go to kind of

[01:00:48] acknowledge people on you know if you're going to get in the restaurant business

[01:00:50] what is the meaning of

[01:00:52] tipping

[01:00:54] without fail

[01:00:56] I will encounter people

[01:00:58] I would even see someone who would compare

[01:01:00] oh what are you a stripper

[01:01:02] no that's how they get paid

[01:01:04] in the restaurant industry you are

[01:01:06] under minimum wage it's like

[01:01:08] five bucks an hour

[01:01:10] it's not good

[01:01:12] and it'd be cool

[01:01:14] to understand is like hey you know

[01:01:16] be good to tip for this

[01:01:18] occasion how much

[01:01:20] you know no more than five or ten

[01:01:22] that should be okay instead of

[01:01:24] oh they're greedy they're a whore

[01:01:26] they want this it's like

[01:01:28] that's how they make a living

[01:01:30] is for tips

[01:01:32] yeah tipping

[01:01:34] is a pretty contentious issue

[01:01:36] I see

[01:01:38] a new valet and

[01:01:40] we would always have an issue

[01:01:42] there would always be some customer who refused

[01:01:44] to pay and sometimes

[01:01:46] we got better because I was at a stand that happened

[01:01:48] to say it's seven bucks to park

[01:01:50] but then we also had to remind

[01:01:52] okay if they're only there for like

[01:01:54] ten seconds they don't have to pay

[01:01:56] yeah I mean

[01:02:00] it's under an hour

[01:02:02] it'll make everybody's life difficult

[01:02:04] yeah

[01:02:06] and I had another relative who was that way

[01:02:08] they would be like oh that person

[01:02:10] they're trying to scam me

[01:02:12] well

[01:02:14] it's kind of like a movie rating or

[01:02:16] warning about a class

[01:02:18] that might divide someone politically

[01:02:20] there was like five different warnings hey

[01:02:22] this requires this kind of tip

[01:02:24] you don't have to pay it

[01:02:28] we're not saying you got to do that but at least

[01:02:30] maybe educate people about

[01:02:32] how different industries

[01:02:34] work instead of just say I do have the dough

[01:02:36] or I don't have it and I'm going to

[01:02:38] leave rudely

[01:02:40] yeah

[01:02:42] yeah and you know

[01:02:44] just be respectful

[01:02:46] because we got it good

[01:02:48] there's so many restaurants who will refuse

[01:02:50] to take your plate if you haven't finished most

[01:02:52] of your meal

[01:02:54] can you imagine how many people on

[01:02:56] a daily basis have a half

[01:02:58] finished steak and are going to just throw

[01:03:00] it away instead of take it home in a doggy bag

[01:03:02] yeah I think

[01:03:04] just take it

[01:03:06] take it

[01:03:08] just heat it up tomorrow it's not going to be any

[01:03:10] lesser

[01:03:12] it's taste

[01:03:16] this has been a delight

[01:03:18] when does

[01:03:20] Purple Political Breakdown air

[01:03:22] for those who want to know about the show

[01:03:24] yeah so

[01:03:26] the kind of main episodes

[01:03:28] that drop would be Mondays

[01:03:30] and Thursday 8am EST

[01:03:32] now however I have been transitioning

[01:03:34] to a daily

[01:03:36] podcast episode schedule

[01:03:38] because there's always

[01:03:40] something to talk about politically

[01:03:42] now these episodes are much

[01:03:44] shorter sometimes I do have

[01:03:46] guests come on my podcast

[01:03:48] recently I've had a

[01:03:50] candidate to

[01:03:52] run for senator in California

[01:03:54] for the Republican Party come on my

[01:03:56] talk politics

[01:03:58] so do I have

[01:04:00] a conversation pretty frequently so

[01:04:02] you need a morning jolt of a

[01:04:04] political topic

[01:04:06] get some nuanced perspective

[01:04:08] because that is what we're here to do
