Ever wonder what really goes on behind the polished façade of corporate America? Join me as I pull back the curtain on my raw and unfiltered experiences with workplace politics and career challenges in Beltsville, Maryland. From unfair operational bonus deductions to navigating the treacherous waters with deceptive colleagues like Kyle, this episode is a tell-all of frustration, betrayal, and the struggle for recognition. I also reflect on my significant contributions to the company's growth despite these setbacks and the mixed feelings of returning to Pennsylvania. Throughout it all, I highlight the importance of maintaining integrity and surrounding oneself with good people.
Switching gears, let's explore my journey of relentless hustle and creativity in the marketing and legal fields. Since the age of nine i've been hustling and that's what i am up to now. I've been running advertisements, performing SEO tasks, and setting up LLCs in Pennsylvania—all while learning the ropes of entrepreneurship. I also discuss the necessity of charging for some episodes to keep out unwelcome listeners and give a special nod to Kyle Reed to subscribe. To all my loyal subscribers, a heartfelt thank you as I tease the exciting content coming your way. This episode is packed with personal anecdotes and professional insights that underscore resilience and an unyielding entrepreneurial spirit.

Speaker 2:Man, turn that fucking music off. We are back with the Daily American Poop. Welcome back, guys. I'm here somehow still kicking who knows how, but I'm kicking like chicken. Speaking of chicken, I just ordered some chicken fingers and some sweets from Sweet and Salty Uber Eats. No, this isn't an advertisement. As you can see that Skip the Warehouse advertisement's gone as well, baby, because if you ain't paying, I ain't playing. Now, seriously, guys, welcome back. Let's see where were we Just got fired. Part one Actually got some paying subscribers. I haven I haven't promoted yet on social media, you know, not too many, but I appreciate the little bit of uh, peanuts that are coming in. So, peanuts, peanuts, not. Uh, take it easy, take it easy, uh. So, anyhow, where were we?
Speaker 2:Beltsville, target on my back, target on my back. Am I a victim? Do I play the victim? I'm not the victim. Let me be very clear with that. Where I'm at today is because of me. I'm not nowhere, I'm nowhere special, but I'm not blaming it on anybody else. Yeah, I've been screwed over by people, people close to me. That's why I got a lot of animosity towards those ball sacks I mean ball sons. But it is what it is. When that's all you're used to, you expect it more and more. But there's also a lot of good people out there, so don't forget about those, the good ones you know, that don't lack integrity, that do the right thing, that take care of people and that are direct, you know, not sneaky, shady bastards.
Speaker 2:Anyhow, I'm down there in Beltsville, maryland. A member of my father had passed, moved down there because they had another location and he had it squared away. Hmm, what number does this make? One, two, three, four, five, I believe. And all the other ones were all the original locate. Now they're up to 20, some. But if I managed every single one of them, wouldn't that make me probably one of the single most contributors to the company's growth? I'd say yes, if not the single most. No discredit to the solid teams everywhere and the players and all the branches. But there was only one one of me going around. But then we had Larry, 90-year-old Larry, coming down. So all of a sudden, my audits because Eileen and Larry, 90-year-old Larry coming down. So all of a sudden, my audits because Eileen and Larry, they started being deducted heavily points-wise and if you get 100%, then you get 100% of your operational bonus. So basically they were taking money from me for no reason because they felt like it. These are the politics that play in corporate America, unfortunately.
Speaker 2:Now what was even more unfortunate was the mission was good. We couldn't get along at all, so it was time for me to move to a different department. In comes that little weasel, probably the one I disliked the most out of the Boston group, because to your face you know he's real good at pretending like he gives a shit about you but in all reality he's a kyle, kyle weasel reed. I guess he worked his way up in enterprise rent a car and he was the one where I took over the, the Eagleville location in Pennsylvania, and I guess I took one of his jobs from him. Boo-hoo, but I didn't.
Speaker 2:I didn't play Mr Cocky Dan or like you know. You couldn't do it, you couldn't hack it. Here I am running two locations. You can't even do sales out of one. You know what I did instead.
Speaker 2:I said I fed him. I fed him all the leads I possibly could, his sales record out of Johnstone, out of the company I was the manager. So naturally, if I like him and I did like him because I felt bad he roll got stripped from him. You know what? I didn't feel bad, though I didn't tell this to too many people, but his paid stuff gets printed or faxed over to my printer. Hmm, that's interesting. I'm not going to toss out numbers because, you know, maybe that's a little bit too unprofessional. I'm not going to disclose any salaries or anything like that.
Speaker 2:He was making exactly no, I'm just kidding. He was making, let's say, like a salary-wise alone, $70,000 a year or more. Meanwhile I'd run circles around this guy blindfolded, smack him upside his head a couple times. Still, fucking joke. But I guess that's how it works. You know he comes from a corporate facility and he thought he was worth that. That's the cocksucker that fired me. That's what I believe. I could be wrong, but anyhow, let's get back to. Let me get back on track. My apologies, excuse my French, excusez moi, excusez moi. My role was basically done. When Bel beltsville in comes, that lying sneaky, slimy, some bitch, kyle reed, and I report to him.
Speaker 2:Now time for me to move back home to pennsylvania. I was happy heading home too, because you, you know, that's where my friends, family, were. So I am cruising down for cruising up for four, 95, four, 76. Back on home. Back on home, baby.
Speaker 2:Some of the guys actually helped me move into the apartment and out of the apartment and you know I'll tell you these are the dudes that I'm going to miss. Like you know, guys like Frank, frank D, my brother, pete, pete W I don't stay in contact with him too much nowadays because you know how it is. I mean, it's not like we were best friends. But and then you know, nick Gardner Good quality cats, man, these are the dudes that I respect, not only for their work ethics but for their personalities and their humility. Man, they were good people.
Speaker 2:I don't think they ever had a problem with me. Of course I had problems with people like eileen and larry coming in dictating to me that I got too much toilet paper counted in my fucking bathroom. Come on, and yeah, I pushed back to any supervisor that I've had. If I don't agree with something that they're saying, who wouldn't? What? Do you think? I'm just gonna be a yes man? No, no, no, but that's what organizations want. They want yes men. They want to silence those that are natural leaders and run a semi-dictatorship with their little pawns that they put in place in all these locations. I think that's what it came down to, that.
Speaker 2:Well, I'll get into the nitty gritty, but again. So here I am. Some of the guys helped me move in. I appreciate it big time. You know I don't forget stuff like that. They didn't have to do that, but they knew I was probably stuck. You know I didn't have help, but, yeah, it means a lot. I think it was just those three. Yeah, thank you, gentlemen, seriously, if you're listening. Yeah, so, beck, time to do just sales. I'm falling under Kyle Reed's leadership. I'd say we're in 2019, heading into 20-ish. That didn't last too long.
Speaker 2:I have a problem, probably, with Kyle Reed. You know what he is. He's a condescending prick. That's what it is fake condescending prick. God, I can't even imagine him, like you know, attempting to get like angry at home, at home, how he is. He's probably such a douche. Fuck, fuck that guy Because, remember, he's so condescending that he doesn't even get mad. He's just like well, you, you don't think you'd do it like this. He's just a fag, and he's got like. He's got like that. Uh, built like the Daily American baby. Well, we can say that. You know what I mean. Let me unbutton my shirt. We're on YouTube. Did I mention that we're on YouTube.
Speaker 2:Some of the ladies been been been locking in. You know, I guess they they got the hots for the Daily American, who the fuck knows. But the guy Kyle, you know I got a. I got a dad bod too. But this guy, he's got like the fat blubber hanging over his fucking, his uh belt. He's up there presenting. It's disgusting. He does peel his shoulders back. He's got good posture, but if you're a fat slob you gotta have fucking good posture.
Speaker 2:I come to find out he, uh, he was doing orange theory. I've been worked out in shit months. I haven't been living right, you guys know that, uh. But he was doing Orange Theory. I've been worked out in shit months. I haven't been living right, you guys know that. But he was doing Orange Theory, huh, huh. I said what class are you going to? I would love to see that guy in a class. I would just smoke him shit. You know what else I'd do? I'd smoke a camel crush on the way into the facility and smoke a camel crush on the way out of the facility. Smoke him while we're on the treadmill, smoke him at the weightlifting game and you know, his fat little stubby ass ain't fucking rowing, because that's probably the hardest part in those classes. Rip to my Orange Theory days, but I do got to get back at it. All right, guys.

Speaker 2:I guess that being on Google with the Daily American Marketing slash podcast, because we are a marketing firm, naturally if we're running advertisement for certain companies. I've done some SEO things since I've been unemployed. I've done what I had to do A little bit of marketing, a little bit of advertising what else?
