Trump Fatigue And January 6
SPEAKER_00People that are walking away from Trump, they're like, I didn't know he's gonna be like that. I respect hardcore Trumpers. Just stay away. All right, that's your guy, I get it. But don't fucking midstream. Well, what about he was already there four years? You saw how it ended. That fucking food court gone wild on January 6th, whatever the fuck that was. People died. Like he didn't shake hands when he lost. He's like the Detroit Pistons, the fucking presidents. A couple of old guys get that one. Alright. I mean, I knew he did. I can't believe he didn't do what he said he was gonna do. He has done that his whole life. His whole life. I've been working his casinos for fucking 30 years. They're always going out of business, and everybody's fucking mad at him. This is not an indictment on conservativism, conservatism or republic. There's nothing fucking wrong with it. This fucking guy. That's all I'm saying. No, I know. It's weird. It's weird. They politicize pedophilia. You would think that that would be something everybody could get on board with. Like, yeah. You know what? I can get behind, not fucking children. Probably not the way I should have said it, but you know, that's what I'm saying. I feel that I can reach across the aisle once again. Not the way to say it. All right, so I fucking leave the gym. That's all my podcast is. I just talk about my day. I just realized I missed my wife. How nice is that? I do. I do. So I leave the that's what this really is. Is I'm a I've I fucking feel feelings now. So I actually miss people when I go out on the roads. When I go to some soulless fucking gym with the homeless steam room, it fu it it fucking affects me. So I walk out of the gym and the sadness of hearing like at first I was upset with that guy listening to the conference call. And then I was actually getting like a window into this guy's life, and like, this is this is what has to fill this guy. There's no way he laid in bed as a kid and dreamed someday. I'm gonna carry this device around, which makes me at work at all times, and I can't even just go to the gym and fucking listen to my favorite song. I gotta talk to these folks. So actually, you know, that's the way I kind of try to stay out of my anger, you know? You know, I try to have empathy like that poor fucking guy. He doesn't even have time to go to the goddamn gym. And I was like, all right, yeah, okay, good for him. Maybe he'll get out of that. He'll start a mom and pop business that Starbucks will crush someday. And people will care, and there'll be a startup, and he can, you know, make$3,500 to live the rest of his life on. Um, so I go to walk out of the gym, and I swear to God, I walk out of the gym, and there was a woman standing there in workout clothes. She had, I swear to God, she had a fucking uh smartphone with like uh the the ear thing, but it was wired to the phone because we now know that it gives you brain cancer, which they always knew, but there's no reason to prosecute that either, right? We can just let that go, right? She's got that and she was holding a laptop at the C at her own office. She was just standing outside the fucking elevator. Is that was that the fallout of the pandemic? Is you don't even get a cubicle anymore? You just gotta like carry your office. Like she should have had like a fax machine on her back, like a turtle shell. I don't know, it's it's fucking sad. So whatever. I made up with the waiter with my vibe and my tip. I think afterwards. I made sure I I tipped him. Like, I don't know. I don't want to be like this, people. The fuck is that? Oh, that's somebody's stereo. You hear that? Get tinnitus because he never got hugged by his dad. A tale as old as time. They're literally shaking the fucking car apart. Like you're making everything in there like a little looser. Like always. Like it just always when they go around the corner, expect like all the wheels to just fall off on that side. Oh, Jesus Christ. Like that's another thing. People do that, and they ride like a bicycle and they have like a really loud fucking radio. Like, what is that? All right, I guess we have to wait. Like, I'm literally I'm inside. I want to say this place is insulated. I can still hear the fucking stereo. Back in my day, you the stereo wasn't that loud. You had a cassette tape. If you liked the song, you had to wait for it to come around again. No, that was the A-track. The A-track, you had to wait for it to come back around again. It was fucking torture. And then the cassette tape came out, and that was great. Then you kept rewinding it, but then you would fuck it up, and then you had to buy it again. And then they came out with the CD. And the CD they came out with, which was an absolute piece of shit. And it came out, it was like$17.99, which was fucking, I swear to God, like a third a week's pay for you. And they were so expensive when they came out, they were in like these giant, like the CD was this big, and they the case was down here. So if you stuck it down your pants, you'd have to walk out, and everybody knew, he's stealing Hall and Oaks. He's stealing Holland Oaks, right? And these cunts in the record industry, these lying fucking cunts, they said the reason why it was so expensive is because unlike all the other generations, records, and tapes and eight-tracks, this thing would never, it was, it would sound brand new the entire fucking time. And of course it didn't. They were fucking lying again. I swear to God, the the amount of lying and stealing that is done on on the uh what would you call it? The uh the legal side of stealing business, you know. Like they always love to to point at other races of people that they've oppressed and talk about their stealing and all of that while they, you know, they justify anytime this is for all you youngsters out there, anytime any you're in a business meeting and you ask a question and they can't justify it, and they they and they say, like, well, that's that's the standard deal. That means they're fucking you in the ass. Or if they say, Well, you know, that's how business is done, they'd say, Oh, yeah, is that how it's done for you? Is that how it works for you? After you succeed, do you then offer less money the next time you come to fucking work? I don't think that's how it works. Judge it by your car, you know. When I picture Jesus coming back, I picture him coming back, I don't picture him coming back saving people. Like, I don't need him to save me. Like, I don't want him, I don't want to be like, I don't want to be in a group, you know? Like, I don't want to go. I don't want to go to heaven per se, you know? Like if that whole grip of women that were on that bicycle going, jealousy, what five, fuck, if they make it too. And I'm gonna have to hold my temper for eternity. As they're singing those that song. You know what it was that just I think that really irritated me was just their the freedom of it. Like how not concerned they were about just getting the living shit beat out of them. Like I like just as a man. If I did that, yeah, let's see, if I was on a bike with a bunch of guys and just whooping it up like fucking, you know, white moms. Like this, there's different rules for everybody. So maybe it was envy. I know it's me. I know it's not them. They were just singing a song on a bicycle built for nine, right? So anyway, I I feel like when Jesus comes back, first of all, I love that people think that he's gonna come back, you know, and he's still not upset about what happened the last time. I don't feel like he's gonna come down here to try to save the good people. I kind of feel like he'd come back like, you know, I already tried that once. Didn't work out. I just sort of. I don't know. I'm picturing him coming back like uh what's what's his fucking oh my god, the guy from The Matrix.

Narcissists And Bad Relationship Gurus
Living On Camera And Filming Fights
Owning My Past And Intimacy
SPEAKER_00No, the actor. Keanu Reeves, thank you, thank you. Keanu Reeves. I'm picturing him coming back as like more like the Keanu Reeves style, where he's just got like these fucking like silver pistols. And I don't think he saves the good people. I just think he doesn't kill them. I just think he comes back, you know, with the white doves coming up with like one of those John Wu movies, and he's just jumping sideways in conference rooms at like fucking like pharmaceutical companies, corporations with like war contracts, the CIA, fucking uh who's the guys who poisoned our food supply? Who are those kooks that nobody knows what their names are, right? Monsanto, yeah, just comes back, he just fucking shoots all of them, narcissists, you know, just goes out. Like wouldn't it be maybe I don't know, maybe it's not that big. Maybe it's just the little people. Like one of my favorite narcissists is the spiritual narcissists, the ones who give like self-help advice while it's still totally like about themselves. You know, I like them, and then I also like like men who think they figured out women, you know. They give you like, you know. When you get too racing, you gotta set the table. You gotta from day one, you gotta let her know. It's just like you're gonna try to play the game of manipulation with a woman? You're going away from your strengths, dude. Like, why don't you why don't you take some stuff that really matters to you in a relationship and have an arm wrestle? Then I think, I think you got a shot, but if you're gonna try to outthink that, like it's not it's not gonna work. It's not gonna work. Like, I've actually found, um, believe it or not, I've actually found that women are not that complex, you know? But I'm smart enough I would never tell them that. The same way they have to act like they think you're strong, you have to act like you just can't believe, ah, that's like it's so complex. It isn't like I've just found like if you're just nice to them, if you just be nice, it's really hard, unless you're married to a cunt. And then I'm starting to understand, Austin. Words, some words are hard for you. But if I laugh at that, does that mean I'm anti-woman? No, there's cunts. Like, if you described a guy that's a rapist as a rapist, I wouldn't be like. It's just just that word. I just no, if you're raping women, you're a rapist. You guys all pulling back. Like, I just I think we're seeing like the the the result of people growing up just on camera everywhere you fucking go. Like, I like how that's like people solve arguments now. Like, I see that like people like uh Instagram or whatever, try to be off that thing, and like people get an argument in like a fucking parking lot and it escalates and it escalates, and then the middle of it they both start filming each other for this fucking news channel they don't own. Like, it's just like what are you guys like? What is the fucking threat here? And I don't understand why the other person just doesn't punch the other person and then just break their phone, and then it's it's over. Like nobody ever thinks to do that. It's like they're holding a gun or something. They're just like, ah, fuck, there goes my black belt and jujitsu. You're filming me. Um anyway, yeah. No, I uh you know, I've said a lot of stupid shit about women over the years. But none of that had to do with anything. It all had to do with my fucking intimacy issues, and I actually wanted to be married and all that type of stuff, but you're not allowed to say that as a guy, or else you're gay. In Austin, you can sit there in your fucking muttering silence right now. All of you moved here because you know that's true. I want to go somewhere that's more understanding. Um, do you do you guys?
