Stories Beyond the Streets
Join us for a heartfelt conversation that navigates the often stigmatized realm of homelessness. In this episode, we invite our listeners to explore the stories that humanize those who live on the streets. Jesse and Dee Dee share their personal encounters with homeless individuals and reflect on how these experiences shaped their understanding of compassion and community support. With engaging dialogues, we challenge the stereotypes that surround homelessness and delve into meaningful discussions about giving and receiving assistance.
Our journey leads us through reflective moments where acts of kindness like sharing meals or offering haircuts led to deeper connections. Listeners will discover how they can actively engage with homelessness in their communities, promoting dignity while nurturing humanity. This episode serves as a reminder of the power our small gestures hold in gifting warmth and hope. As we bridge personal experiences with broader societal narratives, we encourage you to re-examine your perceptions of homelessness and inspire positive change. Tune in, and don't forget to share your thoughts with us—together, we can cultivate a future built on empathy and understanding.

Speaker 2:I think it's because we just finished eating, we got fed, we had wing daddies Not sponsored.
Speaker 1:We had wing daddies because they had a special at wing daddies.
Speaker 2:So good it was.
Speaker 1:I mean it was good, I think the sauce was just not coated wasn't the best one you had, no, no and then he also didn't taste hot or fresh interesting I don't know I had the blasphemous bacon, but it was, it was bomb.
Speaker 2:It was a bomb, yeah they didn't.
Speaker 1:They weren't hot. Like you know how something comes out of the grease and it's very, very, very hot dude, but you eat your stuff at like 200 degrees.
Speaker 2:No joke, as soon as we get served, you're like dogging, I'm like oh you know it's hot right, you're not burning your mouth, sir can you? Can you taste?
Speaker 1:your taste buds are non-existent no, I put in my mouth. Yeah, exactly, you have any.
Speaker 2:You're doing Lamaze, pretend I'm having a baby. You do you start eating?
Speaker 1:I'm just like you want to cool that down, dude.
Speaker 2:How is your tongue? Because? Can you taste?
Speaker 1:It's amazing. It's amazing. I haven't had any complaints. Not that kind. But okay, I know it, you know it, the whole world knows it. I like saying my name twice. I am your host, jesse James.
Speaker 2:And I am your co-host.
Speaker 1:Dee Dee. Hey Dee Dee, what's up, girl? How you doing? Sister Dee's in the house, sister Dee's in the house, sister D's in the house I miss you, bitch. I feel like we.
Speaker 2:I was like I was just here, yeah, but I got to see you for like.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah 15 minutes, and that was it. You were wrong. I had to work, I had to work.
Speaker 2:Oh shit, I don't even think I saw you for 15 minutes.
Speaker 1:I think I saw you for 15 minutes.
Speaker 2:Uh, I think I saw you for a little bit and then had to go back inside. Yeah, because I got to see you for like five minutes here in the kitchen on your first break oh, yeah, the second break was another five maybe no, it was an hour didn't feel like it no, it didn't because we were watching the oscars.
Speaker 1:So yeah, um. So if you watch the oscars, uh, congratulations to all the winners. But you know what I wanted to talk about, because I thought it was an interesting subject, because, again, one of my classmates did a paper on it and it was really sweet, and I know we don't talk about it here on the podcast because it's not. I know we don't talk about it here on the podcast because it's not. I don't know if it's a subject that we can relate to on a personal level, though, but it's definitely something that we can actually talk about. People being homeless.
Speaker 2:Interesting.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I thought it was really interesting because the guy he talked about how he was homeless and he lived on the streets and you know the stigma, whatnot, and I kind of gave him advice is like, um, what's the stigma about being homeless? I was like I would like I would like more into depth and that like you can make your first paragraph about the stigma and then the second paragraph can be about you and your best friend and like how you had to do a lot of like different things, like in paragraphs, because you can kind of break it down a bit right and then, of course, you work in conclusion. Just, you know, make it a lot more stronger, like where you've been and everything for your conclusion. But uh, his was actually very, uh, it was interesting. So it's just like I've never experienced homelessness because I've always had a home.
Speaker 1:Right Same but never been homeless Same Been foodless, but not homeless. So it was interesting.
Speaker 2:I've had experiences with homeless, but nothing bad. When I lived in an apartment above the salon that I worked at, next door to my friend's tattoo shop, there was this man named named tony, and he was always in the area. He's very quiet. He never really said much. However, he did have a very good um connection with my friend. I believe he did talk to him, he helped him and they helped each other actually yeah, they helped each other.
Speaker 2:Um, like I said, he wasn't very communicative with me, but on the occasion when I would make dinner and there was too much, well, we'd make a plate and we'd take it downstairs when it was cold. We're like you know what? There's extra warm-ups, there's an extra blanket here's. You know, go go downstairs and go find tony.
Speaker 2:If you can find him, give it to him you know, um, he was very, very kind, even though he didn't really speak, but according to my friend, like I said, they did have a connection yeah and it's really awesome it. It really opened his eyes to the humanity of everything. He's got a beautiful story about it. Hopefully one day we'll be able to hear it yeah yeah, very cool.
Speaker 1:That's actually pretty cool. So, um, I haven't. I remember, um, uh, a homeless guy that when I used to live in corpus and the la hermada area like section eight types, uh, apartment complex there was an apartment. There was a homeless guy that would always come down our area and I mean, I used to remember being homeless when I was a kid because my mom used to like walk long fucking distance, like it was crazy.
Speaker 1:But anyway, um, this guy would always come in but we would, we would always have sodas and everything and we would have trash cans and everything. But he would come by and anytime he would we would have bags of cans, he would tip, he would give us like a dollar a bag for each. It was really cool. I didn't think anything of it, I just thought, oh cool, he gives money out for it, whatnot, but he takes him and he goes and recycles them and everything, which was really cool. So anytime he, we saw him because we we would carry bags and I think with the most we had like maybe three to five bags of fucking, just trash bags like fucking full of like that's a lot of cans.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was a lot of cans we were hyped up on sugar you know it was explained so much.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no shit. That explains a lot about.
Speaker 1:Explains why I like Dr Pepper so much.
Speaker 2:Adorable.
Speaker 1:He's adorable.
Speaker 2:I told you I think it's his dewclaw. Maybe, it's chipped. It usually happens when they chip they hurt. Yeah, little baby, because they're very jagged. That was cute, though, the way he just rested his face on your lap, like hey, just a reminder, I'm here and I love you because they're very jagged. That was cute, though, the way he just rested his face on your lap, like hey, just a reminder, I'm here and I love you. Peace and love, my friend remember the volkswagen commercial.
Speaker 1:Peace and love my friend oh yeah but it was uh, it was actually really cool because, um, I don't know whatever happened to that guy period it was, we grew up and we saw less and less of him. Like, we were like to a point where we had like 10 bags of sodas and we were seeing them at all. So we don't know exactly what happened. Um, so we took the bags to the recycling and we, we got money off of it, so I was like, okay, cool, whatever.
Speaker 1:Um, he was actually a really cool one. There was another homeless guy that I remember he would come by inside H-E-B when I used to work for them a long time ago. He would come into the store and whatnot and he would come to the bakery because we would always talk. But he did have a bit of a smell to him and I'm just like, ooh, buddy I told him not to be mean, but you got a really strong scent Because you haven't showered. I was like you know, you can just go to the gym and just try to use their showers, right, he's like I could. He was like you could ask him. I mean I don't see why not. Yeah, could ask him. I mean I don't see why not.
Speaker 1:Yeah, um, but I remember he would come back and he, uh, he would make enough money on the streets to pay for his gym membership because he would go to the gym and he was actually using, he was getting ripped. But I remember the first day he signed up he went straight to the showers, go shower and everything had clothes on and whatnot. So he would go fresh and goes. Yeah, I took your advice and it was a lot more cheaper that way. But now I work out and he will come back in like every fucking day. He was ripped. I'm just like dude, I said shower at the gym.
Speaker 2:He's taking advantage of his membership. Let him.
Speaker 1:He took. He goes. Why he goes? The people on the streets are paying for it. Let him, let him. But it was actually reallyices, because he would try to give me life advices. But I was giving him life advice too. As well, he goes. How is it that you're so young? Because I was. I was like 20, maybe 21. How are you? Giving out life advice is better than me as a person and I'm the one that's homeless, doesn't have money or whatnot I was like I don't know, I guess I'm just wiser beyond my years than I cared to. You know be. If anything, homelessness doesn't necessarily mean you're wiser beyond my years than I cared to you know be.
Speaker 1:If anything, homelessness doesn't necessarily mean you're wiser than other people, it was just, it was just, it was interesting for him because he wasn't um, he wasn't used to that. He's usually is normally to adults like telling him. He's like oh, dude, you're just being lazy a bum and you want to come here and try to get my money and whatnot, whatever yeah although I you know it's kind of like uh life experience man yeah when you've experienced life, you, you got a lot of wisdom yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 1:He was just kind of surprised because someone who was 21 at the time, uh, was giving him advice on, you know, certain situations or whatever whatnot, which always surprises me, because when I'm talking to people they're just like you, just sound like you, sound so young, but how do you, how do you have so much knowledge? I'm just like dude, that's just me living. I've kind of I'm living, that's pretty much it. That's all I can do, you know, and I try to pass the knowledge down to somebody who's younger than me, but sometimes I don't because People who are younger than I am just won't listen. You know what I mean. So it's just like, well, how would you do it? I'm like I can tell you, but you're not going to listen anyway. So do you still want the advice? Well, I can take into consideration. No, it's okay, suffer, but no, I've met a lot of good homeless people over the over the years.
Speaker 1:I remember there was one homeless man, uh, that was always walked, but he was in trash bags or in paper bags or plastic bags. He would, he was all covered in everything and whatnot. Yeah, it was in corpus. There was one guy that was always covered in plastic bags and one week he just disappeared. And there was one person because it came out on the news, um on on corpus christi, and the one of the ladies had noticed that he was missing, so they put a bb-8 out on him to try to find him. They did find him. He was with family and all that stuff. Yeah, so it was. I thought it was very sweet that somebody was actually looking for a uh, looking for him to be able to do it.
Speaker 1:But I've also met some funny ass homeless people that were just wow, Wow.
Speaker 2:There's some that are really cool. I do remember when I was working for that salon, I said I worked above. I mean, I lived above. We decided one day to set a day aside to go to a shelter and provide um free haircuts oh nice for the homeless that were there if they wanted a haircut.
Speaker 2:So we spent the day doing so. I think the newspaper had come out. I don't know how they got work uh, wind of it, but they came out. They interviewed the owner um, not me, because I was like, yeah, no don't.
Speaker 1:I'm not that person.
Speaker 2:Please don't not put me in the spotlight I know, not me, but it was cool it was cool because they're sitting in the chairs and it's different. The stories that you hear from homeless people is completely different from the clients that sit in the salon chairs. You know what I mean, but it was interesting nonetheless yeah it's very interesting to hear because they're completely open about how they got where they're at, and I mean, sometimes it's heartbreaking, sometimes it's just injustice. Sometimes they would own up to this like, oh, it's just me, I made bad choices, so you know I ended up here, you know, etc.
Speaker 2:yeah, but it was. It was awesome for the ones that did want to communicate, and even better was when we were done with the cuts. They were just like oh my God, it's like cool. You know, like you could tell like they felt better automatically and I'm just like awesome, that's all that matters.
Speaker 1:I was talking to them and I remember thinking I was like, you know, homeless people back when we were growing up were way different than the homeless are, uh, today. Uh, the homeless people today are a little bit more aggressive than the ones that back then because when back then they were like really cool, trying to get back on their feet, they were actually would give back. They would have. I mean, come on, who gives takes bags of cans from young kids who were saving and knew that this person would come by every single time and we would save these coke cans for him every single time. Right now, the in today's, uh, in age, right now, in 2025, they, they become a lot more aggressive. You know like they'll come up to you for money or whatnot.
Speaker 1:There's something that was like, hey, can I clean your windows for money? I was like, bro, if I wish, I like, hey, can I clean your windows for money? I was like, bro, if I wish I had, I would, yeah, and I'm just like I would give you money. Oh, I got a cash app. I'm like crazy, yeah, crazy. So it's it's chain, it's yeah.
Speaker 2:I got cash. It's it's funny to hear, but it's also wild, though. But there's also people who pretend to be homeless. If you have cash app, that means you have a device. If you have a device, that means you can pay for internet or you with phone services, right.
Speaker 1:So it kind of it's like it's kind of like, it's kind of hard because you're in that 50 50, you're like you get it. But yeah some of these homeless people will go out of their way to pay for electronic, to actually have to keep up with today's things.
Speaker 2:It is very interesting because I have the phone. They have the phone. You have a way for a job.
Speaker 1:Well, because you got to contact you. I don't think it's like because you can get a prepaid phone right For cheap, like for pennies on the dollar services. But yeah, that's still cheap. It's like $49 49. That's literally a good day just working and getting money on the need for the extra cash I don't know that's, that's my question I don't know. I just what I said. It's, it's easy, it's as I said. It's so much different than it is back then than it is now. It's funny?
Speaker 2:no, no, you're not yeah, not being offensive or anything, it just. It's funny to me, like if they fail to ask for something, you're like oh no, I don't, I don't carry cash on me. They're like oh boom, like oh shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, literally that. I'm just waiting for cause they've made like memes and videos in front of TikToks, have a little tip right and they, like you, know shit like that. It's just fucking hilarious percentage yeah, tip percentage. You know what not. But tips have gotten ridiculous over the years.
Speaker 1:But whatever, I digress we're not even gonna get started on tips, yeah um, it's, it's kind of hard, it's kind of crazy to actually see people go above and beyond when it comes to you know doing what they do on that and it's it's interesting. It's interesting to see homeless people now and how much they are of them, that there's not a really good system. You know, like. You know you tell people they do go to sleep, go to the shelter the shelter is cheap. You know, do this and a lot of the stuff people will tend to camp out and the woods are starting to look very rugged, very rough, because they're not cleaning up their mess or gutting out everything. It's become very, you know, some will do it or whatnot, to respect, you know, the property, but some people just don't. Because when I go hiking I'm just like, is that a camper? Like, is that?
Speaker 2:is that? Is that like sleeping bag? Not? Not, and I'm not trying to put politics into things. I know we don't touch politics and religion but it did come across my feeds today how the homelessness is. Probably the situation is probably going to get even worse because of the way everything is changing for people that are already struggling. They may not make it and they're going to end up joining the homeless.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:So I'm just kind of like that military, like all the vans and everything I. I get it, man. It's hard, because sometimes I'm just wondering, man, how in the fuck am I staying afloat? Because it's it's getting hard, you know, it's getting hard, it's even funnier is a friend of mine who lives in ontario.
Speaker 2:They live in canada. They messaged me on tiktok the other day just at random, and they had asked like what keeps you up at night? Are y'all okay, you know? And I'm just like wow, you know, because he knows what's going on here, but he can't, he can't relate right because they're, they're fine.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean. But he knows what america's going through. So he asked me personally, like are y'all okay, you know, am I okay? Are my, my fellow americans okay? And I'm just like, I mean that that's one hell of a question, sir it is one hell, but the first, and I of course I'm not gonna spill my guts.
Speaker 2:I I only know this person through the internet and I'm very careful with and I know it's just information, but still. But the first thing that comes to my mind when I read the question was just like survival, Straight up, just survival. Like am I going to be okay, Am I going to be able to survive? That's all that's all.
Speaker 1:I think it's interesting because even now, it's like we're not those who are in middle classes. It doesn't even feel like middle class anymore. It just feels like you're fucking surviving yeah, you're surviving the next day to the next and trying to make sure You're trying to get an education. This was a perfect time for me to do it, though, but because how things are, it's getting harder and harder to kind of pay for it. I mean, I'm just like Like I scratch my head wondering would overseas going to school overseas be a lot more better than having to deal with it's free overseas? You just got to get a school, you got to get a student visa, right, so it's it's kind of it.
Speaker 2:Would you be able to get a student visa?
Speaker 1:that's the next question I mean, look, if I'm putting money into fucking school, I might as well try to start somewhere, because you know it's gonna, it's gonna take into effect somehow one way or another. Right, yeah, um, but it's. It becomes very that, because it's just like I don't know, I don't know it. It kind of kills me, though, because I wish there was just so much every single year. I'm just like I'm doing it, but I, I would normally, if I have something in my wallet or my pocket, spare change or whatnot, I normally always will give it to somebody who's homeless right ryan would normally do it the same thing too well, but if the guy is hungry he's like well, I'll take you in to go and get you some food.
Speaker 2:That's how James was If he happened to have change in his pocket he'd give it.
Speaker 2:But if he didn't, I mean he didn't, right, my mother is the second thing that you had said. My mother is that person is, when they ask, she asks is it because you're hungry? If they say yes, she's like cool, I got you. She will not give money, but she will buy food, because that's the whole purpose is to keep you alive, not to give you money to go spend on things that you want, but she will spend her money to give you what you absolutely need.
Speaker 1:Exactly.
Speaker 2:And she's gotten some friction from it, especially in another country, in other countries, um, especially when kids are involved, she has no problem, absolutely. She's just like are y'all hungry? Yeah let me get you something. You know what I mean, just. But there are people that they will decline yeah they will decline free good food. And she's not. She won't go cheap, she'll just be like what. She'll literally ask him what do you want?
Speaker 2:yeah what do you want? It's like oh well, I don't know, pick something. What do you want? Like she doesn't care, I will get you what you want.
Speaker 1:But there's people that are like no, and she's just like really, it's because you're gonna go and you're gonna waste it on staying in the same place as opposed to staying alive for the day yeah, you know what I mean, and it's just like yo because it's hard, because it's like we know we're doing try to do certain good things for homeless people and trying to be able to take care of them as much as we possibly can yeah and there are some stories out there that you see that people who are trying to get themselves back to where they need to be. Yes, and I do see the signage. I do see some of the signage that the homeless people come up with.
Speaker 2:They're fucking hilarious they are, they are really they are.
Speaker 1:I'm just like kudos to you, dude. Yeah here, shut up and take my money, yeah because there's some people that's just like.
Speaker 2:You know what I will.
Speaker 1:I will give you what you're asking for, just because you were completely honest I have was one that was like needing money because life sucks and I need a fucking drink. I'm like here's $5. I don't know what you can get for $5. Go get you a drink, drink one for me, alright, aren't you just enabling them? I was like, bitch, I make money, I'm enabling myself on a good day?
Speaker 2:When I spend, am I not enabling my bad habits?
Speaker 1:Exactly. I have my own bad habits, technically in excess, if you think about it just saying, just saying uh need 20 to go get heroin. I'm just like how bad, do you need that heroin? Bad dude, I'm twigging. I was like okay, here I I'm. I don't know if I could, if it's for drugs, I don't know if I could.
Speaker 2:If it's for drugs, I don't know if I could. Man.
Speaker 1:You know what? I'd rather somebody be honest about what they really need the money for than just kind of lie and not be like you know whatever. But I'm a voyeurism for drugs, so whatever.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's right. Yeah, I told you. You mentioned that.
Speaker 1:So am I going to get canceled for that? I have no idea.
Speaker 2:Well, dude, dude, at this point you notice how we're just like very nonchalant about the thought. Now we're not like, dude, be quiet, you're gonna get us killed. We're just like are we gonna get? No, you know what we're about to find out, you know what.
Speaker 1:Here's the thing, because I say I know I say that and I don't know if it's a bad or good thing or not, though, but we see drugs on fucking television all the time, and movies and tvs and whatnot. But I'm just like, okay, if he's gonna go tweak out, then let him go tweak out in his own person. Well, what if he wants to kill somebody, then that's his own him. Not just because I give him 20 just to go and do this, it doesn't mean to come back onto me. I mean it's 20, I mean it is what it is at the end of the day, like if he needs it, he needs it. Like I'm just well you're 20 you're supporting Bitch.
Speaker 1:I buy poppers for a fucking living. That's not a habit of itself. I fucking smoke weed for crying out loud what the fuck are you talking about? Well, that's easy. That's not a drug. I'm like yes, it is. Yes, it is dude. Yes, it is the only difference between my poppers and his coke is.
Speaker 2:There's a line, it's like um here. Let me show you how similar they are.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean. I can get harvard off with this smell. He can get tweaked off with that white powder. Look, I'm not here to judge. It's like I think it's just funny to actually hear people and to say that you know, oh, we're enabled. I wish there was more places for people to do drugs safely in a facility or a a place that has it or can offer it to people who are, who want to take it, who can be very to do needles that are a lot more safer that you know to be able to. I wish they would just make drugs legal period, so in this way they're manufactured in a way that people can use it in a sense in all honesty, I mean I don't know how how this is going to sound.
Speaker 2:Sorry, I just wish life was not so hard that it would make people want to do drugs, or for there to have drugs in the first place.
Speaker 1:Well, you know what I think? Drugs have always been around for a very, very long time.
Speaker 2:If society would have been a whole lot better. There'd be a lot of people that wouldn't need to turn to it.
Speaker 1:I don't think so either.
Speaker 2:Or feel to turn.
Speaker 1:I agree, though, but I firmly believe, because you have a lot. There's a lot of sex workers that are out there who are compliant, complicit on certain things to get them hired, to be able to do and perform the way they need to do it, so they rely on that substance to be able to get to do what they need to do. Oh, wow, I know that.
Speaker 2:But that's what I'm saying. Like, had life not been that hard for them to be in the position where they have to take something because they don't really want to be there or do that.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm talking about, and it's just like if that didn't exist. Yes, and no because people just do it for fun, people literally do it for fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's a side.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a side, but that's the main thing I'm talking about. I'm talking about the people that feel that they need to do it in order to escape, in order to deal, in order to like if life wasn't that hard they wouldn't need to, Because they're not in the headspace where they're like here let me do drugs like yeah, you know what I mean, kind of because sex for me was my drug.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was just like, if you're choosing, that's completely if you're choosing it for the high, for the fun, for the weather that's completely different, because that's a choice. You know what I mean I.
Speaker 1:I just wish there was more. There was just more availability for people who do do it, so there's a safe spot where they can just go and be monitored and watch and be able to have clean needles, clean straws, clean whatever it is that they need. They have some.
Speaker 1:I know there are some parts some parts in the countries where they have like a facility where they have it even, where you can put your clean needles and get it there, clean it, close it and whatnot. I think it's because we're so far in it already when it comes to these heavy narcotics that it's become, it's like it's become a normal for today's day and age. Right, you're so funny, so it becomes very that you know what I mean, even for wheat. I just wish they would stop trying to make wheat such a bad thing, where it's like oh well, this and x, x, y and z plus x, you know, whatever it is, it's just like it's, it's not, it's not that bad and see if you go backwards into the, the homelessness again, that still kind of leads to the same place.
Speaker 2:If life wasn't so hard, people wouldn't get to places where they would need to depend on that in order to deal just simply deal in a way where they can tolerate and handle where they're at in life like no, I just, I mean even for like vets who suffer from like ptsd.
Speaker 1:I just wish they were just like yeah, I just wish there was just more that the government or anybody can do to be able to do. But it becomes very hard because when you're doing it it's like you got to push for non-profit, then you got to rely on people for donations and you got to trust the day.
Speaker 2:It's just we wish that the system would be better to its people yeah period all across the board, man, if we literally had, I would give back.
Speaker 1:I would give back to my vets so much because I do love my vets so so much because they've done so much for this country. I'm, like I said, I'm a big history buff on there and I do love my vets so so much because they've done so much for this country. I'm like I said, I'm a big history buff on there and I do love my veterinarians.
Speaker 2:You know my veterinarians, my veterans I mean, I hope you love your veterinarians too, because you got four dogs I do.
Speaker 1:I do love my veterinarians because I do got four dogs, but, oh my god, I do love my veterans. I mean, they doesn't matter what not, and some of my vets have become a little annoying because some of, because politically, some of them just like you're really stupid, um, but no, for those who come out of it, who've been, uh, deployed and all that stuff, they come back. They have certain things they don't know how to handle life, so they deal things with a little bit differently. Yeah it's, it's a headache, but, like I said, it's just so heartbreaking because I wish I can just keep doing it. But you know who I do like a lot, is it Ivy Moody, the lead singer for Five Finger Death Punch? He's the number one person who gives back to the vets. Nice, he is the number one guy he's always getting back to the vets every single time.
Speaker 2:I believe he's in law enforcement. I believe I could be wrong.
Speaker 1:Maybe it was the guitarist or the bassist something like that um, but a lot of their songs has always yeah, their songs have always been about like military and you know, yeah, but their songs also helped me out through a lot of shit too as well. So, whatever, but it's, uh, it becomes, it's. It's a lot of that, though, because you see people who give back, and my biggest one is like john cena with, like, the make-a-wish foundation, like he's like the main guy for make-a-wish for all the little kids and everything. I mean, is it ivy, moody? That's his real name. Well, the lead singer for five finger death punch, he's the main one that does for the vets. Yeah, and they've given awards and everything for.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's nice.
Speaker 1:It's really really cool. So it's just kind of it's. Oh man, when I read his story it was just like dude, this kind of hits hard, but we had to. The reason why I was reading it's because the teacher is like we're gonna pat, we're gonna work in groups and then we're gonna write and kind of help each other and critique it yeah type of thing.
Speaker 1:I'm not very into like the whole critiquing anything right now, because it's just like I have my own issues to deal with when it comes to that. Um, but uh, it was when I saw his about homeless people. I was just like, oh dude, this, oh this really hits the hits hard, because this is like I I wouldn't even know what to do with my own family, even when I'm hearing like gay friends that are just like my mom wants to kick me out already, not because I'm gay, it's just that because she's with a relationship or a bad relationship. And I was like, dude, if I had the extra space, I say come live here, like even to let you get on your feet. Even if I wanted to, I would, but even then I'm just like I don't even know these people.
Speaker 1:Why am I doing it? But something with me. I'm just like, yeah, I want to. Just I want to nurture you like so, so bad, and give you all the love and the cuddles. But that's just me, though. But anywho, uh, that's the end of my podcast that we need. Is there anything else?
Speaker 1:I'm good moral of the story fuck the government um now we're gonna get canceled, all right fuck the government. It's just so bad and I, I want I want more, and this is why we don't.
Speaker 2:I know, I know. This is why we don't.
Speaker 1:I know, I know this is why we don't talk politics. But I want more for people so people can get better and people can get to where they need to be, so they can get back on their motherfucking feet to be able to live a good, happy life. But because the fucking population is overpopulating faster than we can fucking manage.
Speaker 2:Where Seriously it is.
Speaker 1:But but anyhow, that's it. I am your host, jesse james and I am your co-host this is the mature mischief. Did I cut you off really?
Speaker 2:did I did.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry rude let's do it again no, we're already. We're already saying bye I am your host, jesse james.
Speaker 2:We're really gonna do it. Yeah, we are gonna do it again.
