Opening Banter And Video Filter

SPEAKER_00 0:08

You're listening to the Objective Jerk and I am said jerk. What is up everybody? How are you doing? Did what'd you think of my no filter? I had some some people not many, but some people said to keep the filter, which I kind of agree. I think it you know makes mine different, I guess. I don't know. Maybe I'll turn it down a little bit, but I think it looks cool. And there's not really a whole lot to look at. And if I do show a video, that's not filtered, so I don't think it matters. But at the same time, I'm thinking maybe there, you know, you don't feel like a personal connection or something to me because I don't look, you know, real, I guess. I don't know. I'll uh I don't know. I actually couldn't, it wouldn't turn on, so I just left it. I don't know if it's because of my new camera and I'm recording on QuickTime, it doesn't work as well. Wouldn't think that would matter, but anyway, we'll see how it goes. We'll see how it goes. So, man, you know, I was. Here's my spiel for me. So if you're not interested in me, then fast forward to I don't know where, but Robert Duvall died, man. That's sad.

Shirt Printing Plans Take Shape

SPEAKER_01 1:43

I'll talk more about that later. So I've been working on my little shirt printing venture that I want to do.

Email Overload And Account Juggling

SPEAKER_00 1:58

I I talked about it before how I would, you know, going through the ink. I wanted to do ink, and then found out you know, hard way or that I should have just done heat pressing. And so that's what I'm doing. So I got everything I need to get started, and I'm actually gonna start working on it here after I'm trying to really build the habit of looking into the camera. Why am I so in the I gotta have that up so we can see? I guess I'm like I like sitting over here. But so I have everything, I got some designs, so I just need to get started, really. I was does anybody else out there have like 50 emails, personal emails? Because let's see, I think I had outlook.com for a while, and I still have them, but I don't really use them. I have a couple accounts that are still attached to them. I gotta change them, and then I went to Gmail, so I've been using Gmail for a long time now, and the nice thing about Gmail is you know, you can have a bunch of different emails. So I have an email for my podcast, I have two personal emails, and I have I had an email for my my clothing, my t-shirt thing that I want to do. And so I would use some personal ones for like the VA, you know, that's more like really important kind of stuff, and then other one for like just you know, you gotta have an email to sign up for this or whatever, you know what I mean? So that's kind of what whoa, I just realized my chair moved. I was like pushing it back on this glider. Now I'm letting it sit normal. So plus, I got probably other ones that I I I have a proton mail that I tried out, but I just I hate really long, you know, dot proton mail. It's just I like short, quick little one-syllable stuff, you know, which is why I like Gmail for one thing. But I was trying to log in to my clothing email, which is clo it was, it was, I mean, I still have it, but I'm not using it now. It was Calbo attire. Let me break some stuff down because I have more listeners in the States than I do. But Calbo is a nickname for me because of my beautiful flowing hair, right? So Calbo is, you know, bald person or whatever. I don't know. That's kind of I mean, my wife has I don't know how many names, but when she's talking to her friends about me, she calls me Calbo. And so that's kind of I've used it. My first podcast I did was what was it called? American Calbo, I think is what I named it. I only did a few episodes, but I was like, uh, I was trying to reach to both American and Filipino, you know. And but I was like, nah, I don't think that's gonna work. But anyway, so I like the word, I like the term Calbo. And so that's what my clothing. So when I a year ago, when I first was starting this whole plan, this whole idea, I called it Calbo Ink because I was like, I'm gonna do ink pressing, I think that's cooler. And you guys know the story. I said all that in the previous podcast. But you know, that's kind of changing, so I'm not gonna call it Calbo Ink. I mean, that's what my Facebook was called, but my email was Calbo Attire. Anyway, so I tried to log into it through Gmail. You know, you go in like because I up I updated, and so here's another thing. This is what I've been doing. I've been on my computer for the last couple days, either messing with this crap or designing stuff for my shirts, which that's fun, but so I'm gosh.

SPEAKER_01 6:16

So I usually use Gmail.

SPEAKER_00 6:19

Oh, okay, no, getting off track here. So I would use Safari for my you know, my my search engine and my internet stuff, right? But it would, man, it was just always slow with certain things like Facebook was just slow, took forever to do anything, took forever to do any kind of stuff. So I changed to DuckDuckGo, which is what I use on my phone, and so it's so much better. And I imported all the passwords and all the stuff and everything, but when I open up the email, which it has my podcast email, the objective jerk at gmail.com. I got I'm really trying to look at the camera, I gotta get used to that. I need to hide my face. I keep looking kind of at the video, I should shrink it down, just like that.

SPEAKER_01 7:07

I gotta make sure that it's you know good or whatever, but okay.

iCloud Mail Confusion And Buying A Domain

Remembering Robert Duvall’s Legacy

SPEAKER_00 7:11

So I use that for the podcast, and then that one was the one that automatically comes up, and then if I want to use my personal emails and click on it and switch to that one, and but I it's looking like I'm not gonna be able to use it because I've I did everything, I logged in, put in the email, the password, it had to verify, gave me the you know, put your phone number, I put my phone number, it sends me a text, to the two-step verification, and then it says like to verify something, you know, for the phone number. So I put my phone number, but then it says it can't do it with even though I can select the area code, they won't work with my phone number here in the Philippines. So I was like, what the crap? What so I started, I was like, okay, so I started looking at email providers, you know, the the best ones and whatever this and that. And I hate I hate Apple. I don't hate it, but I do. It's like a love-hate relationship, I guess. But I I'm like stuck kind of. I have a Mac, I got an iPhone, you know, they work well together, and everything's kind of set up, so it's like I'm kind I'm just stuck, you know, and it's my wife's fault. I blame her. She's the one that got the first iPhone. She wanted an iPhone so bad. This was a while ago now, this is years ago, but and then I had other phones, and then it was just kind of a pain in the ass. And then, like, she got a new phone or something, and I got her old phone, and I don't know. So we slowly became, and then I bought a Mac because I took a photography class and I just loved the way it looked, and you know, so I was like, oh man, that's a good so I got a Mac and this one. I don't know, I'll probably end up getting a new Mac, which sucks. Kind of anyway. So I was looking up different email providers, you know, and just looking at the pros and cons and everything. So I was looking at this, oh it's a website, clean email, I guess. But it's just talking about the let's see, okay, it's just talking about the 11 best email providers available for free, right? And Gmail, obviously, Outlook, Neo, Yahoo. I was looking at doing Yahoo just because they got a huge storage, email storage, they got the biggest that comes with it. Proton mail, which I have, but I hate the long. I wish I just wish it was like P Mail or something. I don't know. iCloud Mail, which is for Apple, Zohu, AOL mail. Okay. Anyway, so you know, Gmail's best overall, free account outlook, great for focused inbox. Don't know what that means exactly. Yahoo! Great email storage, Proton, best for security, which is why I I used it briefly, and then iCloud Mail, which is best for Apple users. So I'm like, oh gosh, maybe I should just do that. So I opened up my my mail app. I removed like what what other personal outlook and whatever this and that, and then I created a because I didn't have you know an at mail, iCloud, or what's it called? I don't even remember, an iCloud mail account. So I created one for you know, for me, my personal, and then which was a pain in the ass. I keep looking up here. I'm I'm kind of used to the camera being on the on the on the monitor. I do gotta kind of look and see how I look occasionally though. Oh, that's fine, I guess. And so I was doing that, but it was like a it was I don't know if it had like a glitch or something, but it I was trying to do the name, and I just try and do a basic with my name, and I had to add callboat, like nothing was available or coming up, so so I made that, and I'm like, okay, cool. So here's my new primary personal email, and then I'm like, okay, how can I add I'm gonna add one for my shirt, my little shirt venture business that I'm doing, and kind of like Gmail, you know how you can add another account and this and that, and so I start going through it, and it's like, oh, you can add whatever an existing domain, and see I'm a little bit of a boomer, so domain did not click, the word domain did not click, so it's like existing domain, or you can pay for a domain. And I'm like, well, I don't know, I guess I could do another one, you know, and then just I was like, I was picturing like, okay, I'm gonna do, you know, cobbo, clothier, clothier, which is like an old school kind of you know, renaissance, you know, clothing maker. That's what the term is, you know. But I'm spelling it with a K, so Calbo, Claudier. I'm not making the shirts, but you know, anyway.

SPEAKER_01 12:43

Lost my train of thought.

SPEAKER_00 12:46

Okay, so the domain. So I'm so I'm not it's not clicking exactly what domain was. I was thinking it was just another, you know, an email, and then it was like$10 for a year. And I was like, uh, I guess whatever. I don't know. I was like, because I didn't want to use, see, again, domain was not registering. I was like, I don't want to use my other Gmail, I want to create a new one with this. So I did it, and then it said, what do you want it to be? So I did callbo claw the air. So I'm thinking it's gonna be, you know, callbo claudhiair at iCloud.com. That's what I was thinking it was gonna be. So I create it, set it all up, and then nope, it's now you gotta create a thing at cobboclaw the air.com. And I'm like, oh crap, that's what a domain is. And it just then it hit me, and I was like, oh man, it's like I would have maybe I was like, crap. So then I put my first name, you know, name at cabboclawtheir.com. So now I have a freaking domain for a shirt business that is I haven't even sold it, I haven't even sold one shirt yet, you know. It's like at the very beginning. So I'm just kind of looking at some stuff for you know, keeping track of you know, some inventory, which I do have, but it's pretty small right now. But and then, you know, just budgeting and stuff, keeping track of everything, the money I'm spending, and money hopefully I make, you know. So just working on all that kind of crap. So the domain thing was just like, oh crap, come on. But whatever, it's paid for 10 bucks for a year. Okay, we'll see how it goes. Maybe, you know, maybe it'll flourish. And then, you know, my wife will be an employee, then she can put her name before the domain. I don't know. It's like it's retarded, but sounds like my wife is home. But so that's kind of what's going on with me.

SPEAKER_01 14:46

Oh man, she is home. Dang it. Always when I gotta record. How far I'm only halfway done too. But anyway, so but yeah, as I was looking up the trying to figure out I'm doing a podcast. Can you let me finish?

Aging, Aches, And The Icy Hot Mishap

SPEAKER_00 15:43

Sorry. But so I had Yahoo up because I was looking to maybe, you know, set up an email account with Yahoo, which actually I think was my very first email account back in the day was through Yahoo, if I'm not mistaken. It was something 311 at Yahoo, I remember. Blizik 311, I think it was. Anyway. Send me an email there, I won't read it. Look at the camera, dipshit. Alright. So I'm on there and it shows that Robert Duvall passed away. I know he was like in his 90s, I want to say. But that one, like, kind of I'm not like really big celebrity, you know, like Gene Hackman was like, oh man, it's just these old great and Robert Duvall just kind of was like almost like the the the you know film and TV grandpa. Like, I don't know, man, like he you know, colors, man, colors is awesome.

SPEAKER_01 16:54

Where he's a police officer, obviously The Godfather Apocalypse Now trying to think off my head.

News Rants And Cultural Friction

SPEAKER_00 17:04

His character in the Reacher movie with Tom Cruise, the first one, was outstanding. What's that one where he's an older man? Something lions, I can't remember right now. Yeah, so he just died. So he was 95. So I mean, you know, everybody dies, it happens. He probably just died of whatever, and it's so it's not like it's not tragic, it's just oh man, it's just another part of you know, my childhood, I guess, gone. You know, Ozzy, Hulk Hogan. You know, it was you know, it's it's a bummer, but it's not tragic, you know what I mean? But but this one's a little more though. Like, I really liked him as an actor. So it's kind of a bummer. I'm trying to look up and see what his I keep looking up here. Look at the camera. I need to put like a sign or something that says look here. Alright. Political views. He's okay. Death he died at his farm in Middleburg, Virginia. His death was announced through public statement with his wife. She did not list the cause, but said he died at home. So he probably just died in his sleep, which is that's what everybody wants, really, you know. I mean, maybe not everybody. Some people want to die going out fighting, you know, the enemy or something, I guess. But uh but yeah, it was kind of a bummer, man. I was like, oh, in the middle of me trying to figure out domain this and all this kind of crap, and then I come across that, and I was like, oh, that sucks. But again, I'm not like devastated, you know. I don't get I keep looking at I need to make something look at the camera. Sorry, people. I just need to have something to to look at, I guess, but but yeah, I don't, you know, when people are young, like when when what's his face from the Fast and Furious movies died in the car wrecked, like that was tragic, you know. He was young, died in a car accident. I mean, it's a bummer. I mean, it's life, crap happens, but you know, people die, it's just the way it is. But you know, being 95, having a great life, and oh, he was in the sixth day too with Arnold, too. He was he was always, you know, the last like I don't know what you'd want to say, 20 years, 25 years. Oh, open range, dude. Probably my absolute favorite film with him. I mean, I love The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, all those movies I listed, but open range with Kevin Costner is like great. I love the relationship with him and Kevin Costner, and like that movie is just badass. That's one of my favorite westerns. If you haven't seen open range and you like westerns, you need to watch it. What am I looking for on my phone? Oh, that's right, notes.

SPEAKER_01 20:04

Alright. So yeah, like it's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 20:09

It's crazy, it's sad, you know. Makes me want to watch open range now. So I am 47 years old, and you know, my wife is 40. She just turned 40. And as you get older, you you start to get little aches and pains, you know. Some of it's from the things you do, some of it's from your posture, and now your body's starting to pay for your poor posture or whatever. And so my wife is she's playing, she's a pickleball fanatic right now, like every day. And, you know, so she's got little shoulder, this and that, and whatever. And I get I get like icy hot, you know, medicated cream from the VA for my lower back. And so we have that, so it gets used, and it's almost become the perfume that my wife has. And so she's always putting it on, you know, on her knee or foot or whatever. And another thing about my wife is she likes to cuddle. Most women like to cuddle, right? You know, like if I'm cuddling, if I'm in the mood to cuddle, I got my hand up her shirt holding one of her boobs, right? And if she's cuddling with me, she's got her hand on my pants on my junk a lot of the times. Not every time, but sometimes. That's just kind of what I don't know if does anybody else do that? Any other couples kind of? And it's not like the whole night or nothing, but so last night, you know, she's in bed, we're getting ready to go to sleep. I think I used the bathroom or something, I don't remember. And then I come into bed, I lay down, she rolls over, you know, lays with me, sticks her hand in her pants, and grabs my junk, and we're laying there sleeping. And then also I'm like, man, what the hell? Like it's like hot. And then I get a whiff of the Ben Gay, the icy hot. And I'm like, Did you put icy hot on? She's like, Yeah. And then now you got your hand on my junk? And I'm like, what are you doing? Get you know, so I'm like, get your hand out of there. She gets her hands like what I rubbed out, and I'm like, no, my my junk is like burning. And I'm just like, what are come on, man? You're killing me. Me like it was it was like annoying and funny at the same time, but yeah that that burned. It didn't burn too long, but it did it was pretty intense. And you know, she had already rubbed it into whatever, so there wasn't much left, but enough to enough for me to notice, you know. Dang. So let's see. I saw that the Somalian daycares in Minnesota are fleeing, loading up their U-Hauls and going probably to California or who knows where. The the leering center, the one that had the sign, actually pulled down their sign and moved. Now one could say, like, oh, they're getting hassled and harassed, so they had to do whatever. Yeah, maybe. But I think the jig is up. The the you know, the uh the con, the whatever you what what what am I trying to say? It's it's the jig is up. It's over, it's done. So they're leaving, and they're probably gonna go somewhere else. And no one's gonna be held accountable. Man, somebody better, I swear. And I guess I'll end it with this like it's just insane to me. The ice protesters and everything that's I saw a video of again ice doing their job, and then you got women yelling, trying to piss them off, screaming this and that typical crap. But the the ice protester is a black dude, and I don't remember exactly what he said, but he's he's not letting it borrow them, bother them, or whatever. Oh no, this is what happened. That's right. There was a trans male, and he was like, sir, something, whatever. And they're like, how and then all of a sudden they're like, How are you gonna call a woman a man? Or he asked if if she was a man or he was a man, because it was obvious. I keep looking at the time, not the camera.

SPEAKER_01 24:16

Look at the camera.

Closing Notes And Listener Feedback

SPEAKER_00 24:18

Because how dare you misgender somebody that you know what I mean? Like, oh my gosh, how dare you? You know, so he's like, whatever. And as they're leaving and he's getting in the truck, you hear him say, Oh, look at the house nickel, you know, nickel, you know, the N-word. Look, oh, you're just a house nickel. And they actually say, you know what I mean? It's like these people are so mentally deranged. And then you got the in Canada trans dude that like tried killing his children. I I understand it's not all trans, you know, but it's just people are getting people with mental issues are jumping on board this this supposed bandwagon that's finally stopping. It's it's you know, nobody cares anymore. Thank goodness. Thank God, thank Trump, you know. But yeah, it's just insane. But, you know, there are crazy people out there, but the thing is, is like all these other like liberal white women are just they support it and they're protecting them. What is your problem? I guess they're getting paid, like what I'm just curious. I don't know, it's just weird. And it's all the same. Oh man. I don't know. Anyway, it's crazy out there. But anyway, let me know if you watched the last one without the filter. Should I keep the filter? I'm gonna try and put the filter on because I kind of like it. But uh, if if it doesn't work, then I guess no more filter for me, which means no more filter for you. So, but yeah, let me know what you think about anything I said. You got any pointers, any suggestions? Let me know. Email me. Not at I just realized I gave out my not the uh my my domain, but at the objective jerk at gmail.com. Hook it up. Or leave a comment or whatever. But yeah, anyway, thanks again. Thanks for hanging out. Appreciate your time. Hope you're all staying warm and staying safe and staying out of trouble. I'll see you next time. All right, God bless. All right, bye.
