and this will be interesting yeah man i've never

00:01:13.030 --> 00:01:16.390
been so like you know i always thought world

00:01:16.390 --> 00:01:19.689
war three would never happen but uh everything

00:01:19.689 --> 00:01:22.650
going on now it seems like we might be on the

00:01:22.650 --> 00:01:25.370
horizon Wasn't Nostradamus, didn't Nostradamus

00:01:25.370 --> 00:01:27.549
predict World War III would start out of the

00:01:27.549 --> 00:01:30.310
Middle East or something? I remember hearing

00:01:30.310 --> 00:01:33.269
something about that. Yes. And then somebody

00:01:33.269 --> 00:01:37.750
also said that, you know, World War II was fought,

00:01:37.870 --> 00:01:42.489
but World War IV would be fought with like sticks

00:01:42.489 --> 00:01:45.450
and stones because, you know, World War III would

00:01:45.450 --> 00:01:49.349
kind of end everything and restart. Yes. And

00:01:49.349 --> 00:01:51.700
they might be right with that. They might be

00:01:51.700 --> 00:01:53.840
right with that. Plus, we have a completely inept

00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.060
friggin administration, so I don't have much

00:01:56.060 --> 00:02:00.140
faith in them to do stop or do anything. Agreed.

00:02:00.620 --> 00:02:04.640
Agreed. Yeah. So apparently our young Jamie,

00:02:04.780 --> 00:02:07.120
Rob, Bobby Yankee said it was Einstein who said

00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.639
the World War Four would be fought with the sticks

00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:14.300
and stones. And that's a smart man. It was Einstein.

00:02:14.460 --> 00:02:19.189
He is very smart. He was. Very smart man. And

00:02:19.189 --> 00:02:22.990
he did have very farts as well. Farts are good.

00:02:23.370 --> 00:02:27.129
And shame on Germany. If they weren't such dicks,

00:02:27.150 --> 00:02:29.169
they would have had that bomb before us, but

00:02:29.169 --> 00:02:32.830
they tried to kill him and his people and thankfully

00:02:32.830 --> 00:02:36.509
we got them. Yeah, thank God. Oh my goodness.

00:02:36.569 --> 00:02:40.849
Imagine they didn't do that and they came up

00:02:40.849 --> 00:02:43.009
with it first. My goodness. They received man

00:02:43.009 --> 00:02:47.280
in the high castle. there's a series on amazon

00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.500

world war ii and the germans won they took over

00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:56.680

in the day watch the fall of the house of usher

00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:31.419
which is basically i think it seems to be a fictionalized

00:03:31.419 --> 00:03:37.719
account of of uh the whole uh what's the drug

00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:42.599
we were just talking about last week uh the Opioid.

00:03:42.620 --> 00:03:47.419
I can't remember the name of the family. Yes.

00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.819
Thank you. It's like a personalized account of

00:03:50.819 --> 00:03:56.340
the Sacklers, I believe. In this, they call the

00:03:56.340 --> 00:04:01.080
drug Legadone, I think. But it's like they signed

00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.319
it. I'm not going to give away the sign to deal

00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:07.860
with death. Sure. Hilarity ensues. I will check

00:04:07.860 --> 00:04:10.259
it out. I'm going to put that on the list of

00:04:10.569 --> 00:04:15.430
things to watch as well um so we do have a bunch

00:04:15.430 --> 00:04:18.810
to get through today like we have uh more topics

00:04:18.810 --> 00:04:22.029

00:04:22.029 --> 00:04:26.009
a guest coming on somewhere in between um somebody

00:04:26.009 --> 00:04:28.470
I'll just tell them it's my younger brother he

00:04:28.470 --> 00:04:30.990

00:04:33.829 --> 00:04:36.069
just want to let the audience know about that

00:04:36.069 --> 00:04:40.750
and stuff but uh to talk about this has been

00:04:40.750 --> 00:04:43.910
a a question that we've been getting a lot we

00:04:43.910 --> 00:04:48.069
meaning myself and you uh gracious too um we've

00:04:48.069 --> 00:04:50.589
talked about it on uh the other podcast the good

00:04:50.589 --> 00:04:53.550
times universe but i figure let this audience

00:04:53.550 --> 00:04:57.850
uh get the get the full scoop so they're they're

00:04:57.850 --> 00:05:03.790
they're basically asking how uh cgct and pd are

00:05:03.790 --> 00:05:08.519
not in um are not playing with with live anymore

00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.819
so uh do you want to like basically how did ed

00:05:12.819 --> 00:05:16.800
get that type of control and um you know and

00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:19.519
how did this whole thing play out where you three

00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:22.639
original members aren't uh playing yet yeah basically

00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:28.199
around uh summer of 22 excuse me ed ed approached

00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:32.220
me about voting out chad um he doesn't want to

00:05:32.220 --> 00:05:34.579
deal with chad anymore And I'm finding out that

00:05:34.579 --> 00:05:36.459
I don't want to deal chat anymore. Just, you

00:05:36.459 --> 00:05:41.019
know, the lawsuits and et cetera. And so he approached

00:05:41.019 --> 00:05:43.000
me and I said, yeah, I'll vote him out. I don't

00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:44.800
want to deal with this bullshit either. I have

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:46.300
to, you know, I'm going to end up having to sue

00:05:46.300 --> 00:05:49.139
him to get financials for this company. Right.

00:05:49.500 --> 00:05:52.699
I'm in the process of doing that now. And, but

00:05:52.699 --> 00:05:54.740
I said to Ed, I was like, let me talk to Patrick.

00:05:54.819 --> 00:05:57.160
We better have three of us than, than two of

00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:01.079
us. Right. And Pat, you know, but see the Patrick

00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.259
is a partner in this company. that we own together.

00:06:04.379 --> 00:06:05.920
So it's Patrick, Chad and I own this company

00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:09.079
called ThinkFile Holdings. Okay. In 16, when

00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.220
the band came back together, Chad took over management

00:06:11.220 --> 00:06:13.500
of that company. So he took over the majority

00:06:13.500 --> 00:06:17.220
ownership and management. And in that time, he

00:06:17.220 --> 00:06:23.160
basically, um, basically, uh, excluded Patrick

00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.439
and I from any financials, any bank banking at

00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.079
all, just took over everything at the time. And

00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:29.639
it's like, Oh yeah, I trust you. You're best

00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.639
friend, whatever, blah, blah, blah. Here we are

00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:36.709
five years later. Or no, was it 16, 8 years later?

00:06:36.829 --> 00:06:38.930
Something like that. Can I ask a quick question

00:06:38.930 --> 00:06:43.050
in there, Chad? Yeah. So when yourself and Ed

00:06:43.050 --> 00:06:46.589
were talking and basically the beginning of it

00:06:46.589 --> 00:06:50.670
was so, you know, basically you can get Taylor

00:06:50.670 --> 00:06:56.470
out. Did you have any inkling that, you know,

00:06:56.490 --> 00:07:00.230
you and Patrick might be sidelined as well? No,

00:07:00.250 --> 00:07:04.730
not at the time. So, yeah. So we voted with Ed

00:07:04.730 --> 00:07:06.930
to get him out. I talked to Patrick, brought

00:07:06.930 --> 00:07:09.149
him in. My hope was that and I've been trying

00:07:09.149 --> 00:07:11.410
to get Patrick to vote with me and think about

00:07:11.410 --> 00:07:14.209
holdings to remove Chad as manager, take over

00:07:14.209 --> 00:07:17.889
the company and see what he's done in the company

00:07:17.889 --> 00:07:21.009
and figure out that whole debacle. Right. As

00:07:21.009 --> 00:07:23.649
I've said before, I can't even have my 2021 taxes

00:07:23.649 --> 00:07:26.569
done or my 2022 taxes done now because he won't

00:07:26.569 --> 00:07:30.420
get the taxes done. failing miserably as a fiduciary

00:07:30.420 --> 00:07:34.620
of the company. So my hope was get Patrick involved.

00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:38.319
And then Ed was on board with me having Patrick

00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:42.019
vote with, with me to remove Chad. Right. And

00:07:42.019 --> 00:07:45.459
we're done. Well, Patrick never did that. He

00:07:45.459 --> 00:07:48.439
would not go against Chad. Well, at that point

00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:52.579
I was like, well, he's out. And then, you know,

00:07:52.579 --> 00:07:54.540
he, Ed knew that I was going to have to sue.

00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.480
patrick and chad both as managers because chad

00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:02.060
made patrick a manager of this company name only

00:08:02.060 --> 00:08:05.040
and uh so i had to sue both them and the company

00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.779
and i didn't want to be involved in the drama

00:08:07.779 --> 00:08:11.680
now it was a little curious in that it was promised

00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.120
you know i would be in the band or you know whatever

00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:18.899
and that shows got booked right you know five

00:08:18.899 --> 00:08:20.959
i think it was five shows at the end of 22 got

00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:23.060
booked there's a decent amount of money on the

00:08:23.060 --> 00:08:26.319
table and Along comes Ed and says, hey, you know,

00:08:26.420 --> 00:08:28.220
I just don't want to be involved in the drama,

00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:30.819
so you're going to have to sit out. I was not

00:08:30.819 --> 00:08:33.840
happy about it, but that's what it was. And the

00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.320
way he got that power is that the four of us

00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.740
still own Actionfront, which controls Actionfront

00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:42.259
Unlimited Incorporated, our original company

00:08:42.259 --> 00:08:45.039
that controls the trademark of Live. Right. And

00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:49.059
so we all signed individual deals with Ed to

00:08:49.059 --> 00:08:51.539
give him a license from that company to use the

00:08:51.539 --> 00:08:55.289
name Live in his company. which now gives him

00:08:55.289 --> 00:08:58.970
control to go out and tour his life. Right. My

00:08:58.970 --> 00:09:02.470
expectation was we wouldn't have, you know, I

00:09:02.470 --> 00:09:04.389
wouldn't be worried about that. I'd just be touring

00:09:04.389 --> 00:09:07.330
with him and it'd be all good. Right. What's

00:09:07.330 --> 00:09:10.730
going on. So, yeah, you all heard it from the

00:09:10.730 --> 00:09:13.850
horse's mouth. And all the alternative theories

00:09:13.850 --> 00:09:16.190
out there put out by Chad Taylor. And what Patrick

00:09:16.190 --> 00:09:18.750
believes is that, of course, the big bad Bill

00:09:18.750 --> 00:09:22.070
Hines is the one who stopped all of us from being

00:09:22.070 --> 00:09:24.620
in the band. That's complete horseshit. Right.

00:09:24.740 --> 00:09:27.559
Yeah, of course. It was Patrick's doing it. All

00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:29.820
Patrick had to do was vote with me. We, he and

00:09:29.820 --> 00:09:32.320
I would be torn alive right now, period. Yes.

00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:35.720
And the fans would be in their glory at that

00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:40.480
point. All would have taken boom, but Hey, Patrick's

00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:42.240
stubborn and he doesn't know what's being done

00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:44.039
to him, but Hey, you know, he's going to figure

00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:48.250
it out one day. uh do you do you have uh communications

00:09:48.250 --> 00:09:50.909
with ed like not even about the band but do you

00:09:50.909 --> 00:09:53.649
guys at least say hey what's going on is there

00:09:53.649 --> 00:09:59.090
no curiously he blocked me on on messaging and

00:09:59.090 --> 00:10:02.490
uh stopped following me on so on uh instagram

00:10:02.490 --> 00:10:05.350
so i don't know what his head where his head

00:10:05.350 --> 00:10:08.389
is over there right and i can't even write the

00:10:08.389 --> 00:10:10.610
guy wish him a happy thanksgiving merry christmas

00:10:10.610 --> 00:10:15.850
happy birthday that's whatever yeah so So it

00:10:15.850 --> 00:10:21.269
seemed like the original form was like once the

00:10:21.269 --> 00:10:24.730
legal drama was done, then boom, you guys would

00:10:24.730 --> 00:10:28.669
get back to the three -piece minus, well, the

00:10:28.669 --> 00:10:31.370
four -piece minus Chad Taylor. Well, that's the

00:10:31.370 --> 00:10:34.409
prevailing theory. I don't know how, I mean,

00:10:34.450 --> 00:10:37.230
Chad Taylor takes every legal delaying tactic

00:10:37.230 --> 00:10:40.230
he can to make this thing as long as possible.

00:10:40.649 --> 00:10:45.240
Right. who knows when this thing will be over

00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:47.360
and if, if it's still possible to tour with Ed

00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:51.100
at that point, you know, but I don't, I don't

00:10:51.100 --> 00:10:52.779
know if Patrick will be back. I mean, I think

00:10:52.779 --> 00:10:54.759
Ed's thoroughly pissed off that Patrick didn't

00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:57.779
do what he had to do at the time. So, yeah, but

00:10:57.779 --> 00:11:00.620
I can't speak for him. So Ed, if you're out there

00:11:00.620 --> 00:11:03.299
listening, man, I mean, I get all the dramas

00:11:03.299 --> 00:11:07.279
going on, but it's your boy, man. Like at least

00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:10.379
have a chat with him. Don't block out of nowhere.

00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:12.850
It doesn't have to be business, but. Mend the

00:11:12.850 --> 00:11:16.090
friendship. I mean, that that's the most important

00:11:16.090 --> 00:11:19.250
thing besides the band is that, you know, lines

00:11:19.250 --> 00:11:22.409
of communication are kept open and, you know,

00:11:22.409 --> 00:11:25.309
you just don't block somebody that you've met,

00:11:25.330 --> 00:11:30.009
you know, as a kid, you know. And then you also

00:11:30.009 --> 00:11:32.769
also have live fans with the conspiracy theory

00:11:32.769 --> 00:11:34.669
that I'm on the band because of my political

00:11:34.669 --> 00:11:37.049
views, which has never been discussed or talked

00:11:37.049 --> 00:11:40.110
about with Ed. So that's bullshit, too. right

00:11:40.110 --> 00:11:42.090
i'm talking about actual conspiracy theories

00:11:42.090 --> 00:11:45.529
that's one there you go there you go and let's

00:11:45.529 --> 00:11:47.470
nip that in the bud now that is not the case

00:11:47.470 --> 00:11:50.509
regardless if they have different uh different

00:11:50.509 --> 00:11:53.309
views on political uh stances they're not just

00:11:53.309 --> 00:11:56.129
sitting there fighting over it i mean you know

00:11:56.129 --> 00:11:58.529
it's uh they can think we've never discussed

00:11:58.529 --> 00:12:01.730
politics in our whole lives right right right

00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:05.519
Uh, so we'll, we'll, we'll dive back into that,

00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:09.200
but we do have our guests online. Um, there,

00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.039
let's turn some video on and sound on and, uh,

00:12:13.139 --> 00:12:17.519
cool logo. Yeah. I'm drinking out of his cup

00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:21.620
by the way. Hey, yeah. Awesome. So Jeremy, how

00:12:21.620 --> 00:12:23.460
are you doing? What's up, man? How are you? Yeah.

00:12:23.539 --> 00:12:26.019
It's the Atlanta city theater company logo. Awesome.

00:12:26.659 --> 00:12:30.539
Yeah, man. That was cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. uh

00:12:30.539 --> 00:12:35.879
capture the mundane wait no escape enter the

00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:40.360
abstract yeah that's right yeah that's our tagline

00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:44.679
that was your your original uh right yeah so

00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:48.639
talk to us you started a theater company uh in

00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.100
atlantic city a non -profit what was the uh thought

00:12:52.100 --> 00:12:57.440
behind that and why'd you start it up um So what

00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:59.240
was the thought? There was many thoughts behind

00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:02.320
that. So I think it was, you know, after I graduated

00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:04.700
from Stockton, which is in the Atlantic City

00:13:04.700 --> 00:13:08.139
area, I was commuting. I was working in the city

00:13:08.139 --> 00:13:11.740
as an actor and I was commuting. It was like

00:13:11.740 --> 00:13:14.580
three hours of a commute. And I'm sitting on

00:13:14.580 --> 00:13:17.639
the actually I was staying with you. If you remember,

00:13:17.820 --> 00:13:19.919
I was staying with you in Red Bank and then I

00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.240
was going. Yep. And then I was hopping on the.

00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:25.700
the NJ transit. And then I would get on the subway,

00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:28.299
but it was like a three hour commute. And I was

00:13:28.299 --> 00:13:31.080
doing stuff at Columbia university. And, um,

00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:34.039
and I was sitting there and the commute was killing

00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:37.600
me. And I'm like, why, you know, what, why am

00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:40.860
I leaving to pursue another, you know, to, to

00:13:40.860 --> 00:13:43.259
go and do another opportunity when, you know,

00:13:43.259 --> 00:13:45.460
we live in the 21st century, you could literally

00:13:45.460 --> 00:13:49.399
create, um, you could create anything depending,

00:13:49.539 --> 00:13:53.029
you know, obviously you need some resources and

00:13:53.029 --> 00:13:55.769
financials and things like that. But that's where

00:13:55.769 --> 00:13:57.950
the idea kind of started. And I talked to a few

00:13:57.950 --> 00:13:59.529
friends that were still in the area that were

00:13:59.529 --> 00:14:01.649
actors and technicians, technical directors,

00:14:01.830 --> 00:14:04.789
et cetera. And I was like, what do you guys think?

00:14:04.950 --> 00:14:07.090
I mean, Atlantic City has all of these great

00:14:07.090 --> 00:14:09.970
theater venues and a really crazy like art scene

00:14:09.970 --> 00:14:12.470
that people don't know about, similar to Philadelphia

00:14:12.470 --> 00:14:15.750
in that sense, with the murals and things like

00:14:15.750 --> 00:14:20.730
that. And I was like, why? Why don't we have

00:14:20.730 --> 00:14:25.330
this? What's the problem here? So we started

00:14:25.330 --> 00:14:31.009
offering free workshops just to gauge the community

00:14:31.009 --> 00:14:35.879
and see where they were at with acting. Yeah,

00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.019
see if this is something they wanted, if they

00:14:39.019 --> 00:14:41.700
wanted to be a part of it. And it was crazy.

00:14:41.779 --> 00:14:43.700
It was like a really, really great turnout for

00:14:43.700 --> 00:14:46.340
the Meisner -based acting workshops. And so we're

00:14:46.340 --> 00:14:48.360
like, all right, maybe there's something to this.

00:14:48.460 --> 00:14:50.419
We produced a show at the Jersey Fringe Fest

00:14:50.419 --> 00:14:52.840
in Hamilton with the Eagle Theater. And then

00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.419
after that, we incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit

00:14:56.419 --> 00:15:01.820
in 2019. um yeah so then uh so then it became

00:15:01.820 --> 00:15:03.519
a bit more official you know we had our board

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:06.419
members and stuff and we really started to understand

00:15:06.419 --> 00:15:08.659
i guess the administrative side of running a

00:15:08.659 --> 00:15:12.320
theater company um and what goes into that and

00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:16.399
so uh that was 2019 i think 2020 was covid right

00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:19.279
so then i switched to a more virtual platform

00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:21.100
like this you know we did a lot of zoom readings

00:15:21.100 --> 00:15:23.480
which i think you were also part of one narrating

00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:26.799
yeah so we used that as a way to kind of gauge

00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:31.539
uh um awareness on the internet and kind of increase

00:15:31.539 --> 00:15:35.700
our presence there uh and then after that we

00:15:35.700 --> 00:15:38.860
started yeah it was like that because like you

00:15:38.860 --> 00:15:40.480
said you were putting on those workshops stuff

00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:43.639
got closed down yeah yeah you real quick you

00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.039
switched gears you know because it's like you

00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:49.620
you put all this you're gaining all this momentum

00:15:50.220 --> 00:15:51.759
and everything with everything you're doing with

00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:54.480
the community and the original you know shows

00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:56.399
that you're producing and stuff like that and

00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:58.600
everybody's like here's this new young theater

00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:00.820
company with you know like with a lot of energy

00:16:00.820 --> 00:16:03.700
um because of you know it's appealing to a younger

00:16:03.700 --> 00:16:07.980
demographic uh and uh and then covet happens

00:16:07.980 --> 00:16:10.320
and you're like what the hell do you do and you

00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.720
can't stop you can't stop what you're doing so

00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:15.100
we had to switch platforms like that we did a

00:16:15.100 --> 00:16:18.690
live stream um a live capture i'm sorry we did

00:16:18.690 --> 00:16:21.370
a live capture of a midsummer night stream for

00:16:21.370 --> 00:16:24.570
the 48 blocks festival and that was like people

00:16:24.570 --> 00:16:27.110
were like this is amazing because we had we had

00:16:27.110 --> 00:16:30.789
like 6k um we had the black magic cinema cameras

00:16:30.789 --> 00:16:33.970
the 6k cameras and we were you know we caught

00:16:33.970 --> 00:16:36.470
this live capture of midsummer and you know i

00:16:36.470 --> 00:16:38.370
directed it and everything and we released that

00:16:38.370 --> 00:16:40.789
and that really helped a lot and i think that

00:16:40.789 --> 00:16:44.870
um that was barnaget that you filmed that Yeah,

00:16:44.929 --> 00:16:46.649
believe it or not, because we're we're doing

00:16:46.649 --> 00:16:51.129
like some some location scouting. Yeah. And,

00:16:51.149 --> 00:16:54.009
you know, I couldn't find the right spot. I was

00:16:54.009 --> 00:16:56.789
like, this is not like none of these locations

00:16:56.789 --> 00:16:59.690
are right. And I think I was just happened. I

00:16:59.690 --> 00:17:02.889
happen to be eating at Sweet Jenny's in Barnegat

00:17:02.889 --> 00:17:07.369
in their like garden area, having the conversation

00:17:07.369 --> 00:17:10.490
with like the the camera operator and stuff.

00:17:10.650 --> 00:17:13.990
I was like, what do you think about? like where

00:17:13.990 --> 00:17:17.130
we are right now like sweet jenny's in the back

00:17:17.130 --> 00:17:19.549

yeah oh yeah we we used 4k drones and everything

00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:20.880
like we we went like uh because i mean i i think

00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:23.339
it's like kind of what happens in covid you're

00:18:23.339 --> 00:18:26.099
like fuck i gotta do something what do i do and

00:18:26.099 --> 00:18:28.359
so we just that was like the one of the projects

00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:30.539
we're focusing on so it was like we put like

00:18:30.539 --> 00:18:33.140
everything into that and it was my first time

00:18:33.140 --> 00:18:36.079
like editing uh a film so i had to teach myself

00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:39.519
how to use uh what is it premiere um you know

00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:42.650
and i i had to do it within like 72 hours or

00:18:42.650 --> 00:18:45.410
something like so i was staying up all 72 hours

00:18:45.410 --> 00:18:50.089
just editing this thing oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

00:18:50.089 --> 00:18:52.890
it was i remember we were like smoking cigarettes

00:18:52.890 --> 00:18:55.529
and stuff and like start you start losing it

00:18:55.529 --> 00:18:57.829
a little bit i'm like i was talking to ryan we

00:18:57.829 --> 00:18:59.630
went outside because i needed a break i was like

00:18:59.630 --> 00:19:03.089
getting stressed out and uh we're smoking a cigarette

00:19:03.089 --> 00:19:07.589
and i was like the other kid corn answer he was

00:19:07.589 --> 00:19:10.170
editing it with me and like it's kind of like

00:19:10.490 --> 00:19:12.690
putting saying like what he thinks and stuff

00:19:12.690 --> 00:19:14.769
like that and i step outside to smoke a cigarette

00:19:14.769 --> 00:19:19.130
with ryan and i'm like you know man i i really

00:19:19.130 --> 00:19:21.009
i don't like the way uh i don't like the way

00:19:21.009 --> 00:19:23.549
that that corn answer is looking at me man i

00:19:23.549 --> 00:19:25.970
i something weird about his eyes or something

00:19:25.970 --> 00:19:28.450
so i started getting to that point of like paranoia

00:19:28.450 --> 00:19:31.210
almost uh with the editing thing and then obviously

00:19:31.210 --> 00:19:33.150
we caught it and we're like oh what the you know

00:19:33.150 --> 00:19:35.359
you're bugging You sure there was just cigarettes

00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:37.880
there? I mean, it sounds like, you know, there,

00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:40.019
there were other substances to help keep us awake,

00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:43.740
but now, now I'm going to get back to this, but

00:19:43.740 --> 00:19:45.519
let's switch some gears. What was the first concert

00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:49.319

00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:52.680
it was a live concert that you took. So, okay.

00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:55.140
So Bobby's sharing us some stuff here. I'm going

00:19:55.140 --> 00:19:57.359

thank you. So getting back to, and we'll get

00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:34.480
back to you, Jer, but getting back to your, if

00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:36.380
it wasn't your first concert, it was one of the,

00:22:36.539 --> 00:22:40.859
but do you remember Starland Ballroom? early

00:22:40.859 --> 00:22:43.359
you were young maybe again 11 yeah i remember

00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:45.819
when when mom and my girlfriend were backstage

00:22:45.819 --> 00:22:48.099
and i had to and we had to go up to get them

00:22:48.099 --> 00:22:51.259
yes i do remember this is the same show great

00:22:51.259 --> 00:22:54.059
so it's just very first show jeremy your mom

00:22:54.059 --> 00:22:57.660
is backstage at the with the band that's yeah

00:22:57.660 --> 00:23:01.460
yeah you know looking back on it now it kind

00:23:01.460 --> 00:23:04.599
of makes total sense knowing you know her personality

00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:08.259
and everything um so yeah it was that was cool

00:23:08.259 --> 00:23:11.960
i remember meeting um I, the memory that I had

00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:15.420
was when I met Ed, I was like, yo, even as a

00:23:15.420 --> 00:23:19.759
kid, I was like, what is this guy's like, like

00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:22.420
supers. I was like, what is he? He's either on

00:23:22.420 --> 00:23:24.160
something. I don't know what's going on, but

00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:26.680
I just remember like, look, he was talking to

00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:29.180
me and I'm like, holy shit. Like this guy's on

00:23:29.180 --> 00:23:32.619
another wavelength of calm. Like I, he, he was

00:23:32.619 --> 00:23:35.599
Xanax for that moment. Do you know what I mean?

00:23:35.619 --> 00:23:37.859
Like, I was like, what? I remember as a kid being

00:23:37.859 --> 00:23:40.789
like, that was weird. because he was so energetic

00:23:40.789 --> 00:23:43.670
on stage and then afterwards he was like just

00:23:43.670 --> 00:23:46.329
you know but but now i but now i get it you know

00:23:46.329 --> 00:23:49.670
being an um you know an actor and and you know

00:23:49.670 --> 00:23:52.289
musician and stuff as well like i i totally get

00:23:52.289 --> 00:23:54.990
it because like you have to be smart with your

00:23:54.990 --> 00:23:58.589
energy um and you know i know when i when i go

00:23:58.589 --> 00:24:01.750
on that stage i have to let it rip to the point

00:24:01.750 --> 00:24:04.869
where you know nothing's left at the end um for

00:24:04.869 --> 00:24:08.769
the audience and uh And yeah, so it really comes

00:24:08.769 --> 00:24:11.369
across, I guess, as like a mellow, it's, you

00:24:11.369 --> 00:24:13.470
just pull your energy back and kind of recede

00:24:13.470 --> 00:24:16.410
into yourself. Yeah. Yeah. I would do the same

00:24:16.410 --> 00:24:19.670
thing. I'd be very chill before sit down on the

00:24:19.670 --> 00:24:22.990
stool and fucking go crazy. And then, you know,

00:24:23.009 --> 00:24:26.490
be tired. Well, they say you have an alter ego

00:24:26.490 --> 00:24:29.730
when you get behind the kit, because I think

00:24:29.730 --> 00:24:31.869
even some of the ladies you've been with were

00:24:31.869 --> 00:24:33.650
like, well, he's like a totally different person

00:24:33.650 --> 00:24:36.660
when he gets behind that kit. yeah i'm generally

00:24:36.660 --> 00:24:39.380
well i mean ed is too but we're generally very

00:24:39.380 --> 00:24:41.299
chill and then you know you get on stage and

00:24:41.299 --> 00:24:46.240
it's like so what i was getting back with that

00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:49.240
starlin thing uh and i don't even know if jeremy

00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:52.539
remembers uh because he was so young but i was

00:24:52.539 --> 00:24:56.039
so pissed that my girlfriend was back there without

00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:59.039
me that i came up and ruined the whole vibe you

00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:02.279
guys are all chilling yeah you guys are chilling

00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:05.369
i'm like where are the fuck is my girl and then

00:25:05.369 --> 00:25:08.690
everybody was like what the fuck because it was

00:25:08.690 --> 00:25:11.490
chill back there and i was you know young dumb

00:25:11.490 --> 00:25:17.430
and full of cum as they say uh yeah but uh and

00:25:17.430 --> 00:25:19.950
then lo and behold my mother and girl were in

00:25:19.950 --> 00:25:22.789
the uh closet with chad and a cup uh pat and

00:25:22.789 --> 00:25:25.130
a couple other people uh partaking in some green

00:25:25.130 --> 00:25:26.869
i might i might be pissed too if my girlfriend

00:25:26.869 --> 00:25:31.920
was backstage and yeah hello I totally handled

00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:33.579
it wrong, though. I should have came back there,

00:25:33.619 --> 00:25:35.900
chill, found her, and just hung. But I was like,

00:25:35.940 --> 00:25:39.940
let's go. Get out of here. You live, you learn.

00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:44.599
When you're young, you're stupid. You don't know

00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:48.200
how to pull back on certain things. Maybe I shouldn't.

00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.400
I learned my lesson, though. Every time I saw

00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:57.019
you guys afterwards, I was cool. So, so Jer,

00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:00.019
how much of the, since it's nonprofit, how much

00:26:00.019 --> 00:26:03.519
have we stolen hidden from the government? You

00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:05.200
know, what are you doing with that money at the

00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:09.180
end of the year? I might take a vacation to Italy

00:26:09.180 --> 00:26:13.640
or I really love Italy. Maybe, maybe Spain, if

00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:16.029
I could do it. It depends on how much money I

00:26:16.029 --> 00:26:19.109
can embezzle. Well, you know, I hope that, you

00:26:19.109 --> 00:26:21.769
know, this isn't seen by too, too many people

00:26:21.769 --> 00:26:24.609
because I don't need the IRS knocking on my door.

00:26:24.750 --> 00:26:28.789
We do everything. Everything is done by an accountant.

00:26:29.029 --> 00:26:32.089
There you go. You know, that's how Steve Rubell,

00:26:32.190 --> 00:26:35.950
the owner of Studio 54, got caught. He was doing

00:26:35.950 --> 00:26:38.549
interviews and just talking about how he would,

00:26:38.589 --> 00:26:41.630
you know, hide money. He was trying to be funny,

00:26:41.750 --> 00:26:45.029
but they literally caught him. Yeah, I gotta

00:26:45.029 --> 00:26:47.109
be careful. I'm actually doing a cabaret there

00:26:47.109 --> 00:26:50.529
at the beginning of November. Your accountant

00:26:50.529 --> 00:26:52.170
won't be very happy that you're talking about

00:26:52.170 --> 00:27:00.210
this. Maybe we could bleep it out. There you

00:27:00.210 --> 00:27:04.809
go. Did you guys hear that? I didn't hear it.

00:27:05.210 --> 00:27:07.529
Oh, really? It's not coming through? What happened?

00:27:07.609 --> 00:27:11.930
What are you doing? Wait, when I do this... Oh,

00:27:12.069 --> 00:27:14.539
there it goes. Yeah, I hear it now. But then

00:27:14.539 --> 00:27:18.299
when I do this, it should sense. And like, does

00:27:18.299 --> 00:27:21.380
it bleep out? It doesn't bleed, but you go silent.

00:27:21.700 --> 00:27:25.500
Oh, OK. On my end, it does like this. OK. Oh,

00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:28.319
yeah. But you got to work on your effects, man.

00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:30.920
I know. I needed that about two minutes ago.

00:27:31.380 --> 00:27:36.859
Right, right, right. Too late. But so, yeah,

00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:40.299
the Rocky Harpix show coming up and how much

00:27:40.299 --> 00:27:42.440
is how do you do rehearsals and stuff like that?

00:27:42.539 --> 00:27:44.920
You got a good cast. Like how much do you rehearse

00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:49.240
before the show goes on? Yeah, it depends on

00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:52.579
each production. This one we were rehearsing

00:27:52.579 --> 00:27:54.680
Mondays and Tuesdays for like the past month.

00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:56.859
So really not that many rehearsals. And then

00:27:56.859 --> 00:27:59.619
this week we're doing Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

00:27:59.740 --> 00:28:01.640
because it's tech week now. So, you know, we're

00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:05.640
programming all the lights and whatnot. So it's

00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:08.019
not like an extensive rehearsal process for the

00:28:08.019 --> 00:28:10.440
Rocky Horror Picture Show. But looking back in

00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:13.240
retrospect, I wish that I scheduled more rehearsals

00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:16.940
because it's actually more difficult to direct

00:28:16.940 --> 00:28:22.279
a cast based on the perception of a movie and

00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:25.119
try to match the timing of that rather than actually

00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:32.900
just blocking the musical. So I wish I scheduled

00:28:32.900 --> 00:28:34.980
a bit more time, but it is coming together and,

00:28:35.019 --> 00:28:37.619
you know, it'll be good this weekend. So you

00:28:37.619 --> 00:28:43.700
almost need seasoned actors that kind of because

00:28:43.700 --> 00:28:46.140
without that much rehearsal, they kind of have

00:28:46.140 --> 00:28:50.299
to know. And yeah, OK, for sure. So, I mean,

00:28:50.299 --> 00:28:52.859
we have we have actors from really New York City,

00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:56.000
Philadelphia. Um, and then we have a few that

00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:57.720
are local too, which are really, really good.

00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:00.480
The dancers are local, but, um, cause we have

00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:02.259
the Atlantic city ballet and stuff like that

00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:05.480
down here too. Um, but yeah, we, we, we hire,

00:29:05.579 --> 00:29:08.299
you know, professionals so that we can, it makes

00:29:08.299 --> 00:29:11.660
my job a bit easier, you know? Sure. Are you

00:29:11.660 --> 00:29:15.099
in it? No, no, God, no. I, you know, I try not

00:29:15.099 --> 00:29:18.180
to, um, act with the theater company, you know,

00:29:18.180 --> 00:29:20.940
being the artistic director and stuff. I, I really,

00:29:20.980 --> 00:29:23.950
I'll do it if the company needs it. But I really

00:29:23.950 --> 00:29:28.549
try to provide the opportunity to people around

00:29:28.549 --> 00:29:31.230
the area, you know, or, you know, just other

00:29:31.230 --> 00:29:34.269
actors and kind of show them what Atlantic City

00:29:34.269 --> 00:29:36.910
is about so that they have interest in the city,

00:29:36.970 --> 00:29:38.289
because there really is a lot of great stuff

00:29:38.289 --> 00:29:40.130
in Atlantic City if people haven't been there.

00:29:41.250 --> 00:29:45.309
So, yeah, I try not to act in it. And I personally

00:29:45.309 --> 00:29:48.609
I don't know if the company has the financials

00:29:48.609 --> 00:29:53.279
to pay me as an actor right now, you know. i

00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:55.420
remember when you first were starting this out

00:29:55.420 --> 00:29:58.599
you basically said you wanted to uh bring broadway

00:29:58.599 --> 00:30:01.880
to atlantic city and you had like um you know

00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:04.599
you had like a couple good theories on that yeah

00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:08.279
yeah i i really like i love the model of broadway

00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:12.460
uh and so you know being on the ground level

00:30:12.460 --> 00:30:14.740
of starting a theater community in atlantic city

00:30:14.740 --> 00:30:16.599
which is really what we're doing it's beyond

00:30:16.599 --> 00:30:19.519
the theater company the mission is to form a

00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:22.759
strong theater community which would really um

00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:26.140
involve multiple theater companies and and i'm

00:30:26.140 --> 00:30:30.680
all for that um i i would love to see you know

00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:32.859
because you have broadway you have off broadway

00:30:32.859 --> 00:30:35.539
and you have off off broadway um i would love

00:30:35.539 --> 00:30:37.920
to see some sort of model like that in atlantic

00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:39.599
city because you have the boardwalk so you get

00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:42.099
a boardwalk off boardwalk and off off boardwalk

00:30:42.099 --> 00:30:44.359
and it'll kind of it's kind of like helps with

00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:48.599
the marketing and um and i guess to know what

00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:52.049
the quality of uh theater performance that you're

00:30:52.049 --> 00:30:54.130
getting depending on where you're seeing this

00:30:54.130 --> 00:30:56.430
show not saying that off off broadway doesn't

00:30:56.430 --> 00:30:58.950
do like great stuff but like you know there's

00:30:58.950 --> 00:31:01.009
a different there's a difference when you go

00:31:01.009 --> 00:31:03.769
and see broadway versus off off broadway and

00:31:03.769 --> 00:31:09.349
just budget alone you know yes yes so also uh

00:31:09.349 --> 00:31:13.170
you're a musician as well i am yeah i guess you

00:31:13.170 --> 00:31:16.089
could say that you definitely could say that

00:31:16.089 --> 00:31:18.569
i uh chad i started teaching him guitar he was

00:31:18.569 --> 00:31:21.960
like seven um showed him a couple chords and

00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:27.180
very very quickly he became a way better guitarist

00:31:27.180 --> 00:31:29.980
than i am he probably has 10 000 hours or more

00:31:29.980 --> 00:31:34.799
natural yeah yeah i i you know i i don't know

00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:38.220
like it i think um and you probably know this

00:31:38.220 --> 00:31:40.059
too chad with any instrument i think it just

00:31:40.059 --> 00:31:43.619
comes down to practice and like an awareness

00:31:43.619 --> 00:31:47.160
so like when you're playing a guitar like the

00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:50.240
the way you're hitting that string and picking

00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:52.880
it and the placement of your finger it really

00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:55.759
comes down to placement too and timing so like

00:31:55.759 --> 00:31:58.960
i don't know it's uh it seems like um it's a

00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:01.680
lot of awareness to me i think anybody could

00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:04.039
get good at anything really with practice and

00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:06.759
awareness it seems like at least yeah i mean

00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:09.140
i would agree with that it's also you know some

00:32:09.140 --> 00:32:11.119
people have different aptitudes for different

00:32:11.119 --> 00:32:15.220
things so i mean yeah i mean i naturally just

00:32:15.220 --> 00:32:17.680
kind of figured out drums and kind of had a natural

00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:20.640
aptitude for it and could understand it like

00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:23.279
you said awareness maybe but uh but then i got

00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:25.940
a set and just sat down and figured out what

00:32:25.940 --> 00:32:29.539
i was doing taught myself so yeah guitar too

00:32:29.539 --> 00:32:32.640
yeah it's really like a like you said you probably

00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:34.779
had a feeling or energy behind that i assume

00:32:34.779 --> 00:32:37.619
right absolutely yeah yeah it's just drawn to

00:32:37.619 --> 00:32:43.839
it like yep yeah yeah So, yeah, Jer, why don't

00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:47.480
you get some demos together without drums, send

00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:49.599
them to Chad and let him listen to it, see if

00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:52.380
he gets some stuff behind it, maybe lay some

00:32:52.380 --> 00:32:57.980
beats down. I do have, we just were in the studio

00:32:57.980 --> 00:33:00.779
recording three of the songs that we have written.

00:33:01.779 --> 00:33:04.440
And I do, I don't know, maybe I should have sent

00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:08.019
this to you, but I have a rough demo of Tangled

00:33:08.019 --> 00:33:09.970
Up, a song that I... I'm writing and producing.

00:33:10.589 --> 00:33:12.710
Yes. We totally would have played it and made

00:33:12.710 --> 00:33:14.809
fun of it. You should have gave it to her. Good

00:33:14.809 --> 00:33:18.430
thing I didn't then. So then yeah, maybe I'll

00:33:18.430 --> 00:33:20.369
send that to you at some point. I I'm just trying,

00:33:20.430 --> 00:33:22.069
it's not done yet. So I'm not trying to like

00:33:22.069 --> 00:33:24.230
really share it too much. You know, I still have

00:33:24.230 --> 00:33:26.950
to add a lot. So that's the thing with him, Chad,

00:33:27.029 --> 00:33:29.910
he gets, he's a perfectionist and it's never

00:33:29.910 --> 00:33:32.710
done. You know what I'm saying? No, you know,

00:33:32.750 --> 00:33:35.009
it's, it's, it's close. You know what I mean?

00:33:35.029 --> 00:33:37.289
Like I just, I, I hear a lot on it. So I just

00:33:37.289 --> 00:33:40.720
want to add. a couple more harmonies, you know,

00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:43.099
like the ear candy in terms of like production

00:33:43.099 --> 00:33:46.319
stuff. And, you know, I just want the mix to

00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:49.039
be right. And then obviously master. So it's

00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:51.619
close one more session. It'll be, it'll be good

00:33:51.619 --> 00:33:54.880
to go. Cool. All right, Jerry, why don't you

00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:57.400
tell people where they could check you out, check

00:33:57.400 --> 00:33:59.859

00:33:59.859 --> 00:34:02.980
some promotion and they're going fast to the

00:34:02.980 --> 00:34:05.710
Rocky art picture show. Yeah, yeah. And we actually

00:34:05.710 --> 00:34:07.829
have two events, too. I mean, and I told them

00:34:07.829 --> 00:34:12.690
I'd plug this. So we're also producing, co -producing

00:34:12.690 --> 00:34:15.510

Peace. All right. Back to our regular scheduled

00:36:04.989 --> 00:36:08.469
programming. So, yeah, that was my little brother.

00:36:08.809 --> 00:36:10.869
Check out his stuff, man. I wouldn't have him

00:36:10.869 --> 00:36:12.730
on if I didn't just because he's my brother.

00:36:12.849 --> 00:36:16.010
Actually, he puts on some good work, and it's

00:36:16.010 --> 00:36:18.639
quality. you know production down there so man

00:36:18.639 --> 00:36:20.980
check it out he's got a good good thing going

00:36:20.980 --> 00:36:23.480
good head on the shoulders i don't know where

00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:29.079
he got it yeah he's he's a go -getter man because

00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:31.500
uh he he was he wanted to be an actor when he

00:36:31.500 --> 00:36:34.239
was growing up and he was planning on uh going

00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:36.260
out to cali and doing all that stuff but he's

00:36:36.260 --> 00:36:38.579
like fuck it he's like i don't need to be a millionaire

00:36:38.579 --> 00:36:41.159
on it i just love acting let me just try and

00:36:41.159 --> 00:36:44.500
get this shit going this way and uh so far so

00:36:44.500 --> 00:36:47.739
good just like bringing it to Atlantic city.

00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:50.820
I mean, that's really cool. Yeah. Because it

00:36:50.820 --> 00:36:54.659
really should be a Vegas 2 .0. I mean, especially

00:36:54.659 --> 00:36:58.320
when gambling wasn't legal on Indian reservations

00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:00.840
and stuff like that, they could have like really

00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:04.539
had a stronghold, but you know, you step a couple

00:37:04.539 --> 00:37:07.239
of blocks off of the you know, the boardwalk

00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:10.900
and you're in hell. I was going to say the same

00:37:10.900 --> 00:37:19.440
thing. You're in hell. Insane. So, yeah, man,

00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:24.639
I'm kind of, do you think by next year, gas is

00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:26.800
going to be $7 a gallon? I think we're close

00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:30.559
to it. It's already basically $7 a gallon here

00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:34.980
in California. It's like premium is between $5

00:37:34.980 --> 00:37:39.579
.99 and $6 .59 I've seen. Oh, no way. Oh, absolutely.

00:37:39.739 --> 00:37:41.780
Yeah. But it kind of plateaued. It was going

00:37:41.780 --> 00:37:45.510
up steadily about three weeks ago. just rising

00:37:45.510 --> 00:37:47.309
and rising and rising. And then it kind of plateaued

00:37:47.309 --> 00:37:50.929
though. So I don't know. I mean, who knows what

00:37:50.929 --> 00:37:53.789
this frigging administration, it's like guy comes

00:37:53.789 --> 00:37:56.150
into office and he's going to launch a war on

00:37:56.150 --> 00:37:59.329
fossil fuels. And then because all the Keystone

00:37:59.329 --> 00:38:02.469
XL pipeline prices go up and then they go, we

00:38:02.469 --> 00:38:04.550
don't know why prices are going up. It's the,

00:38:04.650 --> 00:38:08.090
it must be the, the, you know, the oil companies

00:38:08.090 --> 00:38:10.090
taking record profits, but which I think they

00:38:10.090 --> 00:38:12.210
are too, but like supply is, you know, supply

00:38:12.210 --> 00:38:14.760
versus demand. It's like. You cut off all the

00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:17.519
supply in America. Right. You're going to have

00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:20.639
more demand. It's going to get expensive. Well,

00:38:20.659 --> 00:38:23.260
then he did something really stupid, like kind

00:38:23.260 --> 00:38:27.059
of right when they put the sanctions on Russia

00:38:27.059 --> 00:38:30.340
and stopped them from exporting their oil, gas,

00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:34.199
whatever. He started tapping into our reserves

00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:37.360
just so the price of the pump didn't go crazy.

00:38:37.619 --> 00:38:40.739
Oh, yeah. Fucking stupid as fuck, man. I mean,

00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:42.460
that's the way you're going to try and make it

00:38:42.460 --> 00:38:45.909
go down? Yeah, it completely depleted our strategic

00:38:45.909 --> 00:38:49.750
petroleum reserves. I think it's like 50 % of

00:38:49.750 --> 00:38:56.730
what it was. I mean, it's like specifically for

00:38:56.730 --> 00:38:59.809
national emergency, not to depress the prices

00:38:59.809 --> 00:39:02.730
of gasoline because of your shit policies. Exactly.

00:39:03.090 --> 00:39:06.849
It's ridiculous. And it just goes along with

00:39:06.849 --> 00:39:08.849
their extreme climate agenda and all this horse

00:39:08.849 --> 00:39:11.789
shit. It's like, yes, yes, the climate is changing.

00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:16.219
But, you know, how much are is man actually responsible

00:39:16.219 --> 00:39:18.539
for that? No one can really fucking tell you.

00:39:18.860 --> 00:39:21.920
Right. It's this gigantic campaign against, oh,

00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:24.420
you got to go. We got to have all electric cars

00:39:24.420 --> 00:39:28.280
by 2035 and all this bullshit. And one, it's

00:39:28.280 --> 00:39:29.739
not going to happen to it on the electricity

00:39:29.739 --> 00:39:33.900
grid to support all these vehicles. Right. Well,

00:39:33.940 --> 00:39:36.059
that was one and three. It's just, you know,

00:39:36.059 --> 00:39:39.960
I mean, why is if we're all going to die? Why

00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:42.539
are banks still giving loans to coastal properties?

00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:45.460
Wait, to what properties? Coastal properties.

00:39:45.539 --> 00:39:47.159
Anything you build on the coast. Why are they

00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:50.699
still giving loans? Mortgages to coastal properties.

00:39:50.800 --> 00:39:52.840
If we're going to die in 10 years, if the ocean

00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:54.159
is going to rise and we're all going to die.

00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:57.039
Why are billionaires buying? Why is Obama buying

00:39:57.039 --> 00:40:00.340
a $13 million place on Martha's Vineyard? Right.

00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:02.519
They're flying around their private jets telling

00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:05.119
you. You know, you can't have a car anymore or

00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:06.920
you can't have a gas stove anymore. You can't

00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:10.139
have a fucking gas water heater anymore. It's

00:40:10.139 --> 00:40:14.880
like, but it's a conspiracy theory. Sorry. You

00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:19.659
and your damn conspiracy. My goodness. And I'm

00:40:19.659 --> 00:40:23.400
hearing that insurance companies in Florida won't

00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:26.599
insure some houses or if they do, it's like a

00:40:26.599 --> 00:40:33.380
crazy premium. Because I guess of. flooding or

00:40:33.380 --> 00:40:36.400
or whatever but that seems kind of crazy to me

00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:40.260
well it makes i mean you have you have a higher

00:40:40.260 --> 00:40:42.159
incidence of hurricanes in florida i mean you

00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:46.099
can get it from both sides and uh i mean there

00:40:46.099 --> 00:40:48.619
is some flooding there's every time there is

00:40:48.619 --> 00:40:50.139
now a new hurricane it's like well it's climate

00:40:50.139 --> 00:40:52.699
change it's like no not necessarily i mean there's

00:40:52.699 --> 00:40:55.099
no the amount of hurricanes and the intensity

00:40:55.099 --> 00:40:58.619
of hurricanes has not risen in the past 20 years

00:40:58.619 --> 00:41:02.090
30 years it's you know But every time now there

00:41:02.090 --> 00:41:04.510
is one, it's like, oh, climate change, look at

00:41:04.510 --> 00:41:06.170
this, brought a new hurricane. It's like, no,

00:41:06.329 --> 00:41:10.010
that's been happening for millions of years,

00:41:10.130 --> 00:41:16.349
how the earth works. And like you said, we don't

00:41:16.349 --> 00:41:19.150
know how much of it is man -made. Of course,

00:41:19.170 --> 00:41:21.750
some of it has to be. I mean, we are dumping

00:41:21.750 --> 00:41:25.750
a bunch of our coal plants to produce energy

00:41:25.750 --> 00:41:29.929
and stuff. No matter what, even if the entire

00:41:29.929 --> 00:41:34.389
world except China stopped and went green, China

00:41:34.389 --> 00:41:38.469
alone is enough to fucking... Both China and

00:41:38.469 --> 00:41:42.210
India, they're complex. They just do whatever

00:41:42.210 --> 00:41:48.170
they want. Right. There's not a lot of reasons

00:41:48.170 --> 00:41:54.469
to stop to help quell our emissions here because

00:41:54.469 --> 00:41:56.650
they're not doing it. But on the other hand,

00:41:56.650 --> 00:42:02.659
it's like, I've watched these congressional hearings

00:42:02.659 --> 00:42:05.360
where they have these climate experts on there

00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:08.880
and the congressman is asking them, what's the

00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:11.519
percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere? No one knows.

00:42:12.500 --> 00:42:18.440
It's 0 .04 % is the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.

00:42:18.920 --> 00:42:26.519
0 .04%. At 0 .02%, plant life dies off. And you're

00:42:26.519 --> 00:42:31.820
fucked. So we're 0 .04%. It hasn't risen very

00:42:31.820 --> 00:42:37.059
much in the past, I don't know, 100 years. So

00:42:37.059 --> 00:42:41.000
why are we having all this alarmism? These people

00:42:41.000 --> 00:42:44.280
gluing their fucking hands to concrete and stop

00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:46.980
oil. It's like, those people were brilliant too.

00:42:47.059 --> 00:42:49.440
It's like, let's stop oil. Oh, okay. So how are

00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:53.280
you going to run your house, your car, make electricity

00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:57.030
if you just cut off oil today? it's all of this

00:42:57.030 --> 00:42:59.150
thing they have no alternative they're like oh

00:42:59.150 --> 00:43:01.010
we can run all renewables bullshit you can't

00:43:01.010 --> 00:43:04.090
run no no they spent like i think it's two trillion

00:43:04.090 --> 00:43:07.090
dollars or the last 20 or 30 years on renewables

00:43:07.090 --> 00:43:11.030
and it's it has garnered point i think i think

00:43:11.030 --> 00:43:13.409
it's two percent of overall electricity output

00:43:13.409 --> 00:43:17.389
in the world right and they don't get into the

00:43:17.389 --> 00:43:21.030
fact that These electric cars are also sucking

00:43:21.030 --> 00:43:25.590
natural resources, you know, lithium and everything

00:43:25.590 --> 00:43:29.010
for the batteries. And then Tesla at least has

00:43:29.010 --> 00:43:30.989
a plan to do something with the batteries when

00:43:30.989 --> 00:43:32.769
they're done. But I haven't heard anything from

00:43:32.769 --> 00:43:34.309
Ford. I haven't heard anything from the other

00:43:34.309 --> 00:43:36.309
companies that what they're going to do with

00:43:36.309 --> 00:43:38.110
those batteries. Well, that's the other thing.

00:43:38.150 --> 00:43:41.210
You know, this administration is pushing all

00:43:41.210 --> 00:43:44.030
these electric cars on everybody. They're raising

00:43:44.030 --> 00:43:46.820
the price of gas. pushing electric cars. It's

00:43:46.820 --> 00:43:50.260
all about design. But conversely, they're shutting

00:43:50.260 --> 00:43:54.059
down and or not giving new leasing permits to

00:43:54.059 --> 00:43:56.639
mining permits in the United States. They're

00:43:56.639 --> 00:43:59.719
shutting down mines. We need to mine cobalt and

00:43:59.719 --> 00:44:02.980
all these rare earth minerals that we need, lithium

00:44:02.980 --> 00:44:05.840
for all these batteries they need to build for

00:44:05.840 --> 00:44:08.079
all these cars. They're shutting down mines and

00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:10.159
not giving mining permits. Guess where it comes

00:44:10.159 --> 00:44:13.420
from? China. So they're making us completely

00:44:13.420 --> 00:44:17.250
dependent on China. it's right i mean it's like

00:44:17.250 --> 00:44:20.610
everything they do just seems like are they really

00:44:20.610 --> 00:44:22.989
fucking stupid or are they really evil which

00:44:22.989 --> 00:44:26.849
one is it exactly which one is it uh and we really

00:44:26.849 --> 00:44:29.949
realized that when covet hit when fucking medicine

00:44:29.949 --> 00:44:32.650
was hard to get because china you know has all

00:44:32.650 --> 00:44:37.190
the ingredients to make our stuff like uh if

00:44:37.190 --> 00:44:39.730
the world shuts down and we don't have anything

00:44:39.730 --> 00:44:42.849
to ingredients or plants to manufacture shit,

00:44:42.929 --> 00:44:46.849
like what the fuck? Yes. Now that is, that is

00:44:46.849 --> 00:44:49.030
slowly changing and it's going to change a lot

00:44:49.030 --> 00:44:50.969
more rapidly over the next probably decade or

00:44:50.969 --> 00:44:55.269
so, because as I've said before, the Peter Zahan,

00:44:55.369 --> 00:44:58.690
which I love watching his, his YouTube channel,

00:44:58.769 --> 00:45:01.369
he's great insight. But I mean, if you watch

00:45:01.369 --> 00:45:03.590
anything that he has said or read his book, it's,

00:45:03.590 --> 00:45:06.239
you know, China's. They're demographically fucked

00:45:06.239 --> 00:45:09.639
and everyone's moving. A lot of companies are

00:45:09.639 --> 00:45:11.960
moving their manufacturing out of China. They're

00:45:11.960 --> 00:45:13.300
moving it back to the United States. They're

00:45:13.300 --> 00:45:16.380
moving to Mexico. Apple's moved out of there.

00:45:16.579 --> 00:45:19.500
I mean, or basically, yeah, they're moving out

00:45:19.500 --> 00:45:23.159
or have moved out. I forget, but they're definitely

00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:26.139
seeking alternative manufacturing places to,

00:45:26.139 --> 00:45:28.820
to, to make their phones and all their products

00:45:28.820 --> 00:45:32.119
because China is, it's going down. Yeah. Right.

00:45:32.179 --> 00:45:34.940
What the news tells you are like, you know, and

00:45:34.940 --> 00:45:36.800
they might go down with a fight and they might

00:45:36.800 --> 00:45:40.139
you know go into taiwan and and go dirty but

00:45:40.139 --> 00:45:42.619
they're going down either way they don't support

00:45:42.619 --> 00:45:46.840
themselves right so so i've been there a couple

00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:50.659
years ago for i think it was 2015 2016 on business

00:45:50.659 --> 00:45:56.159
and um you know they're they're it's like a third

00:45:56.159 --> 00:45:59.650
world country majority of it like they're Government

00:45:59.650 --> 00:46:04.690
has money, but their citizens do not, dude. So

00:46:04.690 --> 00:46:10.230
it's like, from the outside, yeah, it looks great.

00:46:10.329 --> 00:46:12.710
Oh, there must be booming there. No, there's

00:46:12.710 --> 00:46:14.710
a handful of people that are booming over there,

00:46:14.769 --> 00:46:18.190
but their other citizens are literally eating

00:46:18.190 --> 00:46:22.349
bats and whatever rodents and dogs are just roaming

00:46:22.349 --> 00:46:25.590
the streets, skinny as fuck, dying. Like, it's

00:46:25.590 --> 00:46:29.280
crazy over there. Yeah. And now they have this

00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:32.679
huge, I think it's like 70 % of Chinese people's

00:46:32.679 --> 00:46:36.239
wealth is locked up in real estate. And they

00:46:36.239 --> 00:46:38.539
have now these gigantic developers that are failing

00:46:38.539 --> 00:46:42.900
or going to bankruptcy. And in China, they encourage

00:46:42.900 --> 00:46:45.860
all their citizens to buy real estate, to buy

00:46:45.860 --> 00:46:48.659
apartments. So they have these massive ghost

00:46:48.659 --> 00:46:50.400
cities with all these apartment towers that no

00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:53.420
one lives in. This is where all their wealth

00:46:53.420 --> 00:46:55.989
is locked up. But what's happening is now those

00:46:55.989 --> 00:46:58.030
large development companies are starting to default

00:46:58.030 --> 00:47:01.829
on their loans because I think they've built

00:47:01.829 --> 00:47:06.550
double the amount of apartments for the population

00:47:06.550 --> 00:47:10.010
of China. Wow. So think about that. You have

00:47:10.010 --> 00:47:13.690
1 .6 billion people in China, and they have double

00:47:13.690 --> 00:47:16.269
the capacity of fucking housing there. Yeah,

00:47:16.289 --> 00:47:20.010
they got 3 .2 billion homes. But now they're

00:47:20.010 --> 00:47:22.269
not being finished. And what happens in China

00:47:22.269 --> 00:47:25.690
when you buy a house? Like in America, you see

00:47:25.690 --> 00:47:27.050
a house and you're like, oh, I'm going to buy

00:47:27.050 --> 00:47:29.449
that. And it's like a new bill. Well, you don't

00:47:29.449 --> 00:47:31.110
start paying mortgage on that until you take

00:47:31.110 --> 00:47:33.610
possession of it. In China, you start paying

00:47:33.610 --> 00:47:38.309
your mortgage on your unfinished house. And what's

00:47:38.309 --> 00:47:40.030
happening is the houses aren't getting finished

00:47:40.030 --> 00:47:41.510
because the companies are running out of money.

00:47:42.329 --> 00:47:44.409
And now the people are losing their asses and

00:47:44.409 --> 00:47:45.969
the companies are losing their asses. They're

00:47:45.969 --> 00:47:49.650
going for this huge economic bubble that's going

00:47:49.650 --> 00:47:53.619
to be frigging nuts when it goes down. Oh, yeah.

00:47:54.019 --> 00:47:56.579
Well, there's another reason China's fucked,

00:47:56.619 --> 00:47:59.699
too. Well, that and then really, I mean, they

00:47:59.699 --> 00:48:03.320
have very few natural resources. So, like, that's

00:48:03.320 --> 00:48:05.659
why they're over in the Congo and Africa buying

00:48:05.659 --> 00:48:08.539
up land and shit. And even in America, they're

00:48:08.539 --> 00:48:12.079
buying up farming land and stuff like that. Well,

00:48:12.159 --> 00:48:14.039
they're buying up farmland near military bases,

00:48:14.119 --> 00:48:17.940
which is strange. Mm -hmm. Just like we've allowed

00:48:17.940 --> 00:48:20.219
it to just float over all of our military bases.

00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:22.730
But that's, you know, whatever. right like weren't

00:48:22.730 --> 00:48:25.769
didn't they just maybe a couple months ago like

00:48:25.769 --> 00:48:27.929
they were about to buy something near one of

00:48:27.929 --> 00:48:30.250
our bases and it was about to go through and

00:48:30.250 --> 00:48:32.250
then the military was like yeah what the fuck

00:48:32.250 --> 00:48:34.650
they can't do well finally they called on you

00:48:34.650 --> 00:48:37.130
think you know they would have known that before

00:48:37.130 --> 00:48:38.969
but yeah they called on and i think i stopped

00:48:38.969 --> 00:48:41.769
the sale or something but oh yeah yeah hopefully

00:48:41.769 --> 00:48:45.510
someone's watching you know these people i don't

00:48:45.510 --> 00:48:48.800
know i don't know who's in charge well uh uncle

00:48:48.800 --> 00:48:51.500
joe just might be watching them and letting them

00:48:51.500 --> 00:48:55.559
in for a little something exactly his entanglement

00:48:55.559 --> 00:48:59.760
is ridiculous it's crazy like just if the shoe

00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:02.659
was on the other foot and any of this shit was

00:49:02.659 --> 00:49:05.699
going on with trump my god i mean they're going

00:49:05.699 --> 00:49:09.119
after him for nothing as it is imagine he did

00:49:09.119 --> 00:49:13.480
what biden did and biden's son did oh my god

00:49:13.480 --> 00:49:16.510
yeah that was uh Trump, you know, Trump Jr. or

00:49:16.510 --> 00:49:19.090
whatever, it'd be nuts. It'd be nuts. It'd be

00:49:19.090 --> 00:49:21.630
nuts. But at least you would think, though, at

00:49:21.630 --> 00:49:24.769
least if he, well, I mean, if he was doing that

00:49:24.769 --> 00:49:26.889
shit and then the media was on top of it, like

00:49:26.889 --> 00:49:28.550
reporting it, then I would feel a little bit

00:49:28.550 --> 00:49:32.750
better. Yeah. But Joe's doing it. The media is

00:49:32.750 --> 00:49:34.210
not on top of anything because they don't give

00:49:34.210 --> 00:49:36.050
a fuck what he's doing because they're all part

00:49:36.050 --> 00:49:38.650
of the same contraption. And, you know, this

00:49:38.650 --> 00:49:40.690
guy can't even walk upstairs to get on stage

00:49:40.690 --> 00:49:44.469
for fuck's sake and give a coherent speech. But

00:49:44.469 --> 00:49:47.070
yeah, he's going to run again in 2024. OK, sounds

00:49:47.070 --> 00:49:49.710
good. I don't understand why that's acceptable

00:49:49.710 --> 00:49:54.670
to anybody left or right. Like you really would

00:49:54.670 --> 00:49:59.469
rather America last than than Trump. Like you

00:49:59.469 --> 00:50:04.210
are. Yeah, it's sure. It shows a lack of intelligence,

00:50:04.409 --> 00:50:08.269
a lack of maturity. Like you had four years of

00:50:08.269 --> 00:50:10.489
a president who started no new wars. And that

00:50:10.489 --> 00:50:13.269
hasn't happened in how many decades? Oh, right.

00:50:13.789 --> 00:50:16.150
He's a piece of shit because of his mean tweets.

00:50:16.369 --> 00:50:19.949
Okay. Oh, he called Rosie O'Donnell fat. Oh,

00:50:19.949 --> 00:50:26.409
no. Well, she is. Right. He's grabbing women

00:50:26.409 --> 00:50:28.150
by the pussy, which I've never heard before,

00:50:28.309 --> 00:50:30.269
and I think it's a cool thing, but like, oh,

00:50:30.329 --> 00:50:34.550
no, he said that. Right. I mean, and you had

00:50:34.550 --> 00:50:37.349
Clinton in office. I mean, okay, so they're pissed

00:50:37.349 --> 00:50:40.059
about... Trump getting called saying grab him

00:50:40.059 --> 00:50:42.219
by the pussy, but you had Bill Clinton in his

00:50:42.219 --> 00:50:45.079
fucking office. Right. Being women in the Oval

00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:48.320
Office. I mean, give me a break. Shoving cigars

00:50:48.320 --> 00:50:52.639
in their asshole, getting blowjobs. Yeah, that's

00:50:52.639 --> 00:50:56.820
okay, though. We'll get his wife in office afterwards.

00:50:57.159 --> 00:51:01.019
Oh, God. Thank God that didn't happen, dude.

00:51:01.099 --> 00:51:05.480
Oh, God. That was a great night. I stayed up

00:51:05.480 --> 00:51:09.260
all night watching the freaking election. She

00:51:09.260 --> 00:51:15.380
didn't fucking win. Yes. It was... God, the American

00:51:15.380 --> 00:51:18.539
people. Now she's doing interviews, popping up

00:51:18.539 --> 00:51:21.719
her stupid head. No way, please. No one wants

00:51:21.719 --> 00:51:24.500
to hear from you. And then telling us that MAGA

00:51:24.500 --> 00:51:27.059
people have to go into re -education camps. Is

00:51:27.059 --> 00:51:30.440
that crazy? The left says the craziest fucking

00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:33.199
shit. You're like, how the fuck could you even...

00:51:33.199 --> 00:51:36.170
If the right said that... The right said we need

00:51:36.170 --> 00:51:38.630
to put liberals into reeducation camps. What

00:51:38.630 --> 00:51:41.389
the fuck? I mean, people would lose their fucking

00:51:41.389 --> 00:51:45.550
mind. I know. And she says it's like, oh, yeah,

00:51:45.630 --> 00:51:47.989
no, maybe they do need to go reeducation camps.

00:51:48.610 --> 00:51:51.710
OK, let's go back to fucking Nazi Germany. Let's

00:51:51.710 --> 00:51:54.909
do that. Sounds fun. Basically, I mean, you know

00:51:54.909 --> 00:51:57.010
what I'm saying? Like, it's it's insane that

00:51:57.010 --> 00:52:01.130
now what's the deal, Chad, with that? Why can't

00:52:01.130 --> 00:52:04.639
we have a third party? Is it like. supposedly

00:52:04.639 --> 00:52:08.119
undemocratic like uh on not democracy at that

00:52:08.119 --> 00:52:11.059
point like oh that's bullshit it's just the entrenched

00:52:11.059 --> 00:52:14.400
dual party system it's like you can't it's almost

00:52:14.400 --> 00:52:16.500
impossible it is impossible to go against it

00:52:16.500 --> 00:52:20.260
right right well hopefully with robert kennedy

00:52:20.260 --> 00:52:25.500
running independently i mean and yeah it'll be

00:52:25.500 --> 00:52:27.880
interesting i mean i it's yeah the dual party

00:52:27.880 --> 00:52:29.860
system is bullshit too and it's the amount of

00:52:29.860 --> 00:52:32.559
money in politics is fucking crazy like you know

00:52:32.559 --> 00:52:35.679
you're limited individually to get 2500 per candidate

00:52:35.679 --> 00:52:38.039
or whatever it is but like you can go to a super

00:52:38.039 --> 00:52:40.019
pack and then super packs can give them millions

00:52:40.019 --> 00:52:41.639
and millions and millions of fucking dollars

00:52:41.639 --> 00:52:45.699
oh really oh yeah you could only as a private

00:52:45.699 --> 00:52:49.760
citizen donate around 500 per candidate i believe

00:52:49.760 --> 00:52:54.500
yes oh wow wow that's the get around it by the

00:52:54.500 --> 00:52:57.539
super past yeah which makes no sense because

00:52:57.539 --> 00:53:01.460
then you have corporations buying the candidate

00:53:01.460 --> 00:53:04.320
yeah the u .s corporate system is i mean uh not

00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:07.179
the political system is just bullshit at this

00:53:07.179 --> 00:53:09.300
point it's because you need to get all the money

00:53:09.300 --> 00:53:10.800
out of politics you need to have term limits

00:53:10.800 --> 00:53:13.659
on all these fucking idiots age limits on them

00:53:13.659 --> 00:53:16.699
i mean come on nobody in their family should

00:53:16.699 --> 00:53:20.239
be able to be in the stock market yeah that too

00:53:20.239 --> 00:53:22.860
there's a whole lot of things that need reform

00:53:23.610 --> 00:53:27.690
How many policies go through because these congressmen,

00:53:27.710 --> 00:53:30.829
senators know what's going to happen? A lot.

00:53:31.050 --> 00:53:35.190
Yeah, right, right. Did you see the, I saw a

00:53:35.190 --> 00:53:37.889
few stories about how the defense stocks spiked

00:53:37.889 --> 00:53:40.690
right before Israel got attacked. Oh, really?

00:53:42.170 --> 00:53:46.329
Oh, really? Well, yeah, like we said, supposedly

00:53:46.329 --> 00:53:50.360
this was being planned for two years. And their

00:53:50.360 --> 00:53:55.280
IDF, which is our CIA, they had no idea. Yeah,

00:53:55.300 --> 00:53:57.619
Mossad had no idea. I was saying that last week.

00:53:57.679 --> 00:54:01.360
It's like, how the fuck did Mossad miss all this?

00:54:01.619 --> 00:54:06.519
That's their time. That's what they did. 5 ,000

00:54:06.519 --> 00:54:11.139
rockets, underground tunnels, paratroopers, people

00:54:11.139 --> 00:54:15.440
coming over the border. They knew nothing. Yeah,

00:54:15.500 --> 00:54:20.119
it's insanity. I mean, you know, if I was putting

00:54:20.119 --> 00:54:23.800
on my tinfoil hat, I would say they had the chatter.

00:54:24.000 --> 00:54:27.280
They knew what was going on. And in order for

00:54:27.280 --> 00:54:29.400
them to go in there and flatten the place out

00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:32.179
and show them what's up, they allowed a couple

00:54:32.179 --> 00:54:35.079
people to fucking get killed. Oh, man. Look at

00:54:35.079 --> 00:54:41.840
Pearl Harbor. Right. Right. I mean, another one.

00:54:41.940 --> 00:54:47.260
Nine o 'clock. We can get into that one. Right.

00:54:47.800 --> 00:54:50.579
CIA and FBI supposedly knew this stuff, but they

00:54:50.579 --> 00:54:53.099
weren't talking at the time and sharing that

00:54:53.099 --> 00:54:58.820
intelligence, and that happened. Anywho. Every

00:54:58.820 --> 00:55:00.739
time one of these things happens, guess who profits?

00:55:01.260 --> 00:55:04.840
Defense companies. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Well,

00:55:05.800 --> 00:55:08.559
who was it? Bankers and all the, you know, you

00:55:08.559 --> 00:55:11.360
can go into the whole conspiracy theory of the

00:55:11.360 --> 00:55:13.780
Rockefellers and the Rothschilds and all that

00:55:13.780 --> 00:55:17.710
shit. I mean, you know. they they fund both sides

00:55:17.710 --> 00:55:20.530
of every war and fucking they went out and make

00:55:20.530 --> 00:55:24.610
all kinds of money it's you know it's crazy is

00:55:24.610 --> 00:55:26.869
it isn't it funny that when you're saying like

00:55:26.869 --> 00:55:29.449
truthful shit you unfortunately have to say conspiracy

00:55:29.449 --> 00:55:33.269
theory i just say it to you know for the people

00:55:33.269 --> 00:55:35.750
that want to tell me that i'm you know talking

00:55:35.750 --> 00:55:38.010
about conspiracy theories all the time certain

00:55:38.010 --> 00:55:40.730
certain live fans or whatever whoever they are

00:55:40.730 --> 00:55:45.079
yeah let's get into some fun stuff man so do

00:55:45.079 --> 00:55:47.559
you do you think there are aliens do you think

00:55:47.559 --> 00:55:50.260
there are other uh beings from other planets

00:55:50.260 --> 00:55:53.420
okay well here's this is crazy too i mean the

00:55:53.420 --> 00:55:55.719
government is basically saying that yes they

00:55:55.719 --> 00:55:59.599
exist they have they've recovered biologics okay

00:55:59.599 --> 00:56:03.860
i mean this just think about that we're in a

00:56:03.860 --> 00:56:06.000
climate where the government has now admitted

00:56:06.000 --> 00:56:08.300
if i mean if they're telling the truth who fucking

00:56:08.300 --> 00:56:10.570
knows but they've admitted that They've recovered

00:56:10.570 --> 00:56:13.190
craft, and they've recovered biologics. That

00:56:13.190 --> 00:56:17.489
means there's life off of Earth. Right. Is it

00:56:17.489 --> 00:56:19.329
intelligent? We don't know. They haven't gone

00:56:19.329 --> 00:56:22.150
into that. But, like, that news has come out,

00:56:22.230 --> 00:56:24.969
and people are just like, eh, Taylor Swift and

00:56:24.969 --> 00:56:28.570
Chad Kelly are together. Fucking great. Got all

00:56:28.570 --> 00:56:30.809
these fucking soccer moms now that are fucking

00:56:30.809 --> 00:56:35.489
Kansas City Chief fans. It's insane. They said

00:56:35.489 --> 00:56:40.440
that his... Jersey went up 600 % or some shit

00:56:40.440 --> 00:56:43.940
like that. Yeah. So anyway, they say errands

00:56:43.940 --> 00:56:47.780
are real, but no one cares. Nobody cares. That's

00:56:47.780 --> 00:56:51.719
nuts. It's crazy. Probably the biggest story

00:56:51.719 --> 00:56:55.519
for humanity ever, but no one's like, eh. I want

00:56:55.519 --> 00:56:57.440
to see the Chiefs game now. I want to see Taylor

00:56:57.440 --> 00:57:01.579
Swift eat a hot dog. Me too, to be honest. A

00:57:01.579 --> 00:57:07.059
frozen hot dog? Anyway. i just saw a conspiracy

00:57:07.059 --> 00:57:10.059
theory about those two let me hear it's a big

00:57:10.059 --> 00:57:13.039
it's a whole big farm of play oh i think i know

00:57:13.039 --> 00:57:14.940
this guy but go ahead yeah well i mean i just

00:57:14.940 --> 00:57:17.400
saw this video for us i mean it makes sense but

00:57:17.400 --> 00:57:19.980
it's probably not fucking real but like you know

00:57:19.980 --> 00:57:22.360
at first they showed all of his ex -girlfriends

00:57:22.360 --> 00:57:25.500
which you know no problem but they were all black

00:57:25.500 --> 00:57:28.579
except oh really they were taylor taylor the

00:57:28.579 --> 00:57:31.550
whitest white girl you can find and They're both

00:57:31.550 --> 00:57:33.630
big pharma shills, and it's just like this whole

00:57:33.630 --> 00:57:36.030
put -together thing to boost the Kansas City

00:57:36.030 --> 00:57:38.409
Chiefs, the NFL, and big pharma. They've done

00:57:38.409 --> 00:57:41.789
the deal with the devil to fucking sell out these

00:57:41.789 --> 00:57:46.909
entities. I heard this one. Who knows? You don't

00:57:46.909 --> 00:57:49.150
know. You really don't. You don't know. There's

00:57:49.150 --> 00:57:52.230
been publicity couples before that did that shit.

00:57:53.010 --> 00:57:55.010
What I don't understand about Taylor Swift is

00:57:55.010 --> 00:57:59.489
she was huge. Yeah. She had lots of hit songs.

00:58:00.329 --> 00:58:03.369
what the fuck happened this past year like how

00:58:03.369 --> 00:58:07.170
did she become bigger than she was before like

00:58:07.170 --> 00:58:10.250
everybody's fucking talking about her every it's

00:58:10.250 --> 00:58:13.690
just like nut to me i've been in this i've seen

00:58:13.690 --> 00:58:16.170
this happen i've been part of something like

00:58:16.170 --> 00:58:18.849
this right to this level but like i don't understand

00:58:18.849 --> 00:58:21.349
how she was she was just she was fucking huge

00:58:21.349 --> 00:58:25.050
but now she's like wham like stadium sold out

00:58:25.050 --> 00:58:28.989
tickets going for 3500 a piece like it is nuts

00:58:28.989 --> 00:58:31.829
what has happened Did she put out a new hit record

00:58:31.829 --> 00:58:33.989
that I didn't hear or what? Like, I don't get

00:58:33.989 --> 00:58:38.969
it. But I think that she was like her fans. I

00:58:38.969 --> 00:58:41.489
think she's been like big monetarily and album

00:58:41.489 --> 00:58:45.130
sales wise for a long time. But I think her publicist

00:58:45.130 --> 00:58:48.489
is just going on some crazy publicity thing with

00:58:48.489 --> 00:58:50.530
her now. So we're just hearing about it now.

00:58:50.690 --> 00:58:54.130
Yes. But check out this theory. So supposedly

00:58:54.130 --> 00:58:59.179
she's a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan. Yeah,

00:58:59.179 --> 00:59:01.960
family from Pennsylvania, so she, yeah. Yep.

00:59:02.099 --> 00:59:06.980
And she's dating this guy up until the playoffs

00:59:06.980 --> 00:59:09.500
come, and then right before she's going to dump

00:59:09.500 --> 00:59:12.780
him, so it fucks with his head, and, you know,

00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:15.659
he's no longer the great receiver or whatever

00:59:15.659 --> 00:59:18.139
the fuck he is. His brother plays on the Eagles,

00:59:18.260 --> 00:59:21.340
though, right? Is that true? Oh, yeah. Yes. I

00:59:21.340 --> 00:59:23.519
believe his brother, I don't know the brother's

00:59:23.519 --> 00:59:27.510
name, plays on the Eagles. Oh, wow. So maybe

00:59:27.510 --> 00:59:29.210
she's going to leave him and go for the brother

00:59:29.210 --> 00:59:32.250
and go start fucking the brother. Oh my God.

00:59:32.369 --> 00:59:35.909
That would be crazy. They would definitely have

00:59:35.909 --> 00:59:37.590
to grease all the poles in Philadelphia when

00:59:37.590 --> 00:59:40.510
that happens. Philly's funny, man. They win,

00:59:40.610 --> 00:59:43.929
they burn the city. They put grease on the telephone

00:59:43.929 --> 00:59:46.170
pole so they can't climb them. It's fucking hilarious.

00:59:48.690 --> 00:59:52.840
Philly's a trip. Oh, totally. Totally. you know

00:59:52.840 --> 00:59:55.420
it's a wannabe new york city but really it's

00:59:55.420 --> 00:59:58.179
like the size of newark oh yeah yeah it's the

00:59:58.179 --> 01:00:01.719
footprint of philly small but yeah they're trying

which is camden new jersey right that's a hellhole

01:00:14.159 --> 01:00:16.300

01:00:25.849 --> 01:00:27.869
than back then yeah but you still don't want

01:00:27.869 --> 01:00:30.610

right? Yeah, it's between like two gigantic,

01:02:14.980 --> 01:02:17.360
I mean, yeah, it's in like, I guess you would

01:02:17.360 --> 01:02:20.159
call it a canyon between two gigantic red rock

01:02:20.159 --> 01:02:23.380
cliff faces. It's amazing. It's like natural

01:02:23.380 --> 01:02:26.820
empathy. And we would, when I say we, the guys

01:02:26.820 --> 01:02:29.219
in the band, we used to watch Under Blood Red

01:02:29.219 --> 01:02:33.909
Sky or what was the, was that the U2? concert

01:02:33.909 --> 01:02:36.889
film they made at Red Rocks. Oh, that's at Red

01:02:36.889 --> 01:02:40.829
Rocks? I didn't know that. And so when we finally

01:02:40.829 --> 01:02:42.929
got to play there, we were like, this is amazing,

01:02:43.150 --> 01:02:45.409
you know, because we watched our heroes U2 play

01:02:45.409 --> 01:02:50.070
there. We loved that film. And the natural sound,

01:02:50.210 --> 01:02:53.869
right? Like going off of... I mean, yeah, you're

01:02:53.869 --> 01:02:58.559
getting reverb from the... the rock faces and

01:02:58.559 --> 01:03:01.699
stuff. It's yeah. It's just amazing. Energy is

01:03:01.699 --> 01:03:04.400
so wild there. It's beautiful. And the energy

01:03:04.400 --> 01:03:07.900
is amazing. Yeah. Great. That's that's cool.

01:03:07.940 --> 01:03:09.260
Yeah. I've never been to a concert there, but

01:03:09.260 --> 01:03:11.380
I've, I've seen some concerts there and, and

01:03:11.380 --> 01:03:13.559
like yourself, a lot of musicians say it's a

01:03:13.559 --> 01:03:16.400
great, great place to play. It was funny in 95,

01:03:16.480 --> 01:03:20.179
we sold out one night and we were supposed to

01:03:20.179 --> 01:03:23.500
put on the second night for sale and the promoter

01:03:23.500 --> 01:03:27.099
didn't do it. and everyone was like what the

01:03:27.099 --> 01:03:29.340
fuck why didn't we go to slam dunk a second night

01:03:29.340 --> 01:03:32.780
no problem right promoter i don't know what the

01:03:32.780 --> 01:03:34.460
fuck i just remember this going down i don't

01:03:34.460 --> 01:03:37.000
remember all the details of what happened exactly

01:03:37.000 --> 01:03:39.199
but for some reason the promoter did not put

01:03:39.199 --> 01:03:43.320
a second night on sale what a momo and so we're

01:03:43.320 --> 01:03:45.800
like what the fuck so the next year we know in

01:03:45.800 --> 01:03:47.840
97 we come back and we play we're doing secret

01:03:47.840 --> 01:03:51.079
samadhi tour and we're and he we put put it on

01:03:51.929 --> 01:03:55.150
put a show on sale and sold it out. And to make

01:03:55.150 --> 01:03:58.010
up for not putting the second show on sale for

01:03:58.010 --> 01:04:03.269
Red Rocks for the second night in 95, he asked

01:04:03.269 --> 01:04:05.809
us what we wanted. And we were like, we want

01:04:05.809 --> 01:04:10.929
you to have a zoo at your house. So he has this

01:04:10.929 --> 01:04:13.869
big fucking party for all of us. And he brings

01:04:13.869 --> 01:04:17.510
in all these animals to put his house in his

01:04:17.510 --> 01:04:20.969
zoo here. I don't even know who thinks of this

01:04:20.969 --> 01:04:23.809
shit. I don't know who in our band came up with

01:04:23.809 --> 01:04:26.289
that one. I'm not sure. I remember sitting on

01:04:26.289 --> 01:04:28.170
the bus talking about it. I'm like, who the fuck?

01:04:29.050 --> 01:04:32.449
If it was strictly to bust his balls, I'm going

01:04:32.449 --> 01:04:35.469
to have to say it's Chad Taylor. Actually, no,

01:04:35.510 --> 01:04:38.630
I'm wrong about that. That was in 95 when we

01:04:38.630 --> 01:04:41.469
played the show there, and he was supposed to

01:04:41.469 --> 01:04:43.210
put on the second show, so he had this party

01:04:43.210 --> 01:04:44.769
for us. I don't know the night before or the

01:04:44.769 --> 01:04:49.110
night after. Anyway, that was a fucking wild

01:04:49.110 --> 01:04:52.199
story. That's cool, man. All right, well, then

01:04:52.199 --> 01:04:55.820
