We’ll drop our affiliate link for Poppy AI in the comments. DM me and I’ll send you my affiliate link.
Yeah, had to do it right before we got started. So we got Greg today, as we always do. Greg's always here. And Greg is wearing fucking pants. Dude, I remember last time I didn't have pants. You refuse to wear pants in Phoenix, Greg. I do. Why did you finally decide to throw pants on?
SPEAKER_00:It's 45 degrees out in the morning when I wake up. That's why. It's cold. That's it.
SPEAKER_01:It's cold as hell. It's cold as hell out of it. Almost snowed this morning. I think it was like 48 this morning. I saw some snow. That's so far away from snow. No. That's they they tell you it has to be 32. We're you know close to freezing. That's a myth. It's a government conspiracy theory. It snows in Phoenix. I mean, shit, it snows a lot in Scottsdale. All the time. A bitch of snow in like a motherfucker. Yeah, all the time it snows. So what's up? What are we talking about this week? Once again, we didn't plan anything, but Zero. The last podcast got a lot more views, and we didn't really have anything planned. We just talked. So what do you got? I mean, I can bring stuff to the table. But go to the Oh. We did have someone get diagnosed with COVID. We did. Luckily, they've been out of the office for a while. So does that even matter? COVID's like a common cold. It's called the common cold. It's like the cold. It's called the common cold, I believe, is what it is. And then I know some scientists just like, you know, they got mad at me and said, not Neil Armstrong, but Buzz Alderwin's gonna punch me in the face. And they think that was crazy. So that last reel I dropped, it was about me saying the moon landing is fake, which if you've got a brain, it makes more sense that it was fake than it, you know, makes sense that it was real. Just freaking saying, but this gal on Facebook has no idea who I am, doesn't follow my content. I stalked her a little bit. Blue hair pronouns. Typical silent to say that if Buzz Aldwin was still around, he would punch me in the face and that she would laugh. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:And I'm like, I saw that comment.
SPEAKER_01:So you support violence. They always do. Just because I said something true that you can't fathom being true. Because it's not a conspiracy theory anymore. I mean, they shot Charlie Kirk. They did shoot Charlie Kirk. That's a deep hole. I can't go into that one yet just because there's way too much on that. And I don't really know what to believe. And I don't know if I mean I'll never know what to believe, but yeah, that one, that one you can go in some deep freaking rabbit holes. Ask Candace. Yeah, ask Candace. She'll take you down there, and Massad will execute you. It gets dangerous. Yeah, that was real dangerous for real quick. The other reel that went well, well, is when I, you know, kind of made a Massad joke. But I I don't think it's funny. I just think people are like, yeah, that's real. Someone's got the balls to say it.
SPEAKER_00:I just thought talking about COVID was the next conspiracy theory. Talking about what? COVID. COVID was the next conspiracy theory.
SPEAKER_01:Well, okay, so let's talk about COVID for a bit. So COVID broke out late 19, early 2020. I'm in Oregon. You know, what was cool about COVID is at first, COVID's breaking out. I don't know what to do. Like I'm at I'm going down rabbit holes, left and right, trying to figure out if it's real, trying to figure out if we're all gonna die, trying to figure out, you know, if ivermectin actually works. World's ending. Yeah, world's ending. First thing, I immediately went and bought a ton of ammunition and a new rifle. Me too. The problem was is I was like two days late, so all the cheap AR-15s were gone. So I spent some good. I love that gun, by the way, but spent some good money on a competition AR. So that's a sweet gun. Still have that one today. And a bunch of ammo. So you know, COVID first week or two probably cost me about eight grand in firearms, which not against. It was a good reason. Like, wife didn't complain for once. Like she saw the future or potential. And then, you know, the dealership, when Oregon got news, and like it actually was like someone on news was like, hey, this is real. Like Oregon shut down. We were selling, what was my dealership? We were about 90 cars a month, smaller Hyundai dealership there, 90 to 150 on a good month. And we went down to like seven in a month. And like we're all sitting at the meetings and stuff, and I'm just thinking, like, how do I file unemployment? Like, I don't know how this works, but yeah, we came up with like a three-stage plan. We didn't cut anybody, by the way. Well, anybody that we didn't want to, but we we cut some fat that just needed to freaking go. And it wasn't really because of COVID, it was just, you know, the right time. COVID didn't have anything to do with it. But we've said Johnston got fat. Yeah, and then I got fat. I should have been cut. But we had a three-stage plan, you know, stage three, everybody stay, or stage three was just cutting additional fat. Like people that didn't really need to go per se, but they didn't really bring value to the team. Stage two cut, like, I mean, it was basically a handful of managers that knew their jobs well enough to stick around, and then like a couple, like a couple tax, a couple freaking salespeople, like very minimum. And then the final stage would have been basically it was me, the owner. I shouldn't say this because one of the people are gonna be like, no one knows this, but it was me, the owner, and like four other people, or not even four. I think it was four or five of us total. Basically, how do we run the dealership? I mean, I shoot, I had to go work a month or a week and a half in service just to buy the service game. You were at a family-owned store, though. Yeah, I was in a family-owned store. So you got the loan, you got the loan. Eventually, I do believe that we qualified for that because we were very small. But here's the cool thing about COVID is like, you know, 45 days into it, 60 days into it, whatever it was, like everything turned around one day. Like it was just one day, all of a sudden we sold like record cars and it never slowed down from then. And that was even before the stimulus hit. That was just it just, I think people got bored and said, screw this, I'm out. This shit ain't real. Yeah, and let's go. But here's what I love about COVID is it was a government plot to see how much control they have. I mean, they made the virus. We all know that it was a lab-created virus, that's been published now. Where's it from? Wuhan. Wuhan. Wuhan, China, and you know what? Chinese virus. Yeah, what Trump was racist for saying. No, it's called an adjective, as I've had some people, you know, recently inform me about you better watch out. You're gonna get punched in the face again. I know, they can't do it. He's dead, he's old. I'm fast as hell, can't hit me. But it was essentially an adjective, like you're describing where something came from. I don't know if that's the correct, maybe it's a pronoun or something. I'm not that educated, but like you're just basically saying what it was. Yeah. And that's the problem, is like we couldn't say what it was because it was racist, or you can't call people fat because it hurts their feelings. You know what else hurts their damn feelings? Heart disease. That's true, and then they die, and then they hurt their kids' feelings. So quit being a selfish fat fuck. And everyone can use everyone's bathroom, yeah. And everyone can be gender fluid bathrooms. Yeah, gender fluid bathrooms. And you know, you can identify as a freaking goose, and I gotta call you a goose if you want to be a freaking goose and cat, a cat, or a monkey, or yeah, have a tail. And no, I don't. I'm tired of it. That's what they are. So you don't actually have to be that way, anyways. So COVID was a government plot and a government, you know, psy-op, and maybe not even government, it might be higher than the US government. I believe it was. It was a world psyop to really see how much they could control something. Because looking back at it now, when you start looking at the number of or numbers for COVID, yes, it was bad. It was painful, but a good news, it eliminated the flu. The flu's gone. The flu was at an all-time, all-time low in 2020, 2021. Like it's crazy that that just disappeared.
SPEAKER_00:And then you're seeing the billions and fraud they had for COVID testing.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, billions and fraud, freaking, you know, what's his name? Bill Gates is, you know, trying to run away from it and get his name clean now. Everybody is, you know, Fauci. You know, half these people that, you know, did this plot got a pardon for apparently they've never committed a crime, but they needed a pardon. Pardon signed by an auto pen. An auto pen, yeah, that Biden may and didn't know. But Jill did a good job of getting it signed. She she was solid there. So it was just a government plot to see how much they could control society. And what was cool is a lot of society woke the hell up and said, Yeah, nope, I'm not doing this shit. Like I was in one of the most restrictive states in the union or in the country, Oregon. It was like, hey, what's California doing? Let's see if we go a little crazier than that. And even people in Oregon, you know, unless you're from, you know, Portland and one of the counties in Portland, not all counties, but you know, Multnomah County, to be specific, or if you're down in Eugene, yeah, yeah, you you gotta fit in. You gotta, you know, what do they call it? Virtue signal and all that crap, dire hair blue, protest for nothing, you know, break some stuff.
SPEAKER_00:They get paid to protest, they don't protest for nothing. Yeah, you know,$7.75 an hour.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, you get your stimulus money and then minimum wage. And then sometimes even more if you're willing to, you know, break some stuff. And it and it and if anybody's like, dude, you're just speaking out your ass. Go find the information yourself. It's out there. You just got to get off CNN.com and CNBC and hell, even avoid Fox News. Go find some like real information. But society in general basically said screw this, we're not dealing with it. And then a lot of people after it woke up and you know, the health crates that's going on now started kicking off, and people started to, you know, be a little bit more health conscious because they realized big beautiful doesn't mean shit, and you're just gonna die one day. But they started to like pay attention and realize big pharma, by the way, big pharma scam and it's hurt the US population more than anything. Like, um, you know, there's there's advancements in medical that I'm like, by all means, we need shit like that. Like the rabies vaccine, that was probably a good one. Like get people from going crazy and dying a rabies. You don't need to give your freaking one day old 14 vaccines, one of them being hepatitis B. You get that from fucking and you get that from dirty needles. Yeah. Like if your one day old has a problem where they might get screwed up, and that kid needs to be taken away from you. So people start to wake up, you got RFK now, and we're finally pulling our head out of our ass. Looking at food labels, you know, they're they're they're banning some of the dyes and you know, our cereal and some of the processed bullshit that we just put in our body, and that's good. So COVID, I think the long game of COVID was actually pretty good. I think COVID was a joke, but I think it opened up eyes to a lot of people and got things going in the right way. Totally, 100% the right way. Now the next thing that skipped my mind, but I had it right before you brought up COVID.
SPEAKER_00:I just thought COVID was good to bring up. COVID's good. Just the time and a place, and the fact that we had it. I don't know. I never tested for it. Oh, I got it.
SPEAKER_01:Like, well, I I I was supposed to get tested, but I never tested for it because I was against it and I thought it was fake, and I was right. But like when I did get it, it's a really bad cold and it sucked, at least, and it seems like it affected everyone. Dude, it just made me dumb as hell.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I mean, I I'm sure I had it because there was a bunch of times I was sick with like a cold. Yeah. But I was the one that was like, oh, I feel great. I don't have to go test. Yeah, I remember I'd wear a mask that day. I didn't feel good. Loser.
SPEAKER_01:I remember I the whole family was feeling sick one day, and I had to go to work because I had a job. And this was, I think, late COVID time frame. So, you know, the big scare was off. And we were still, you know, following whatever protocols we were supposed to. And, you know, it's hard to see tell if you're just not feeling good or whatever. It doesn't, it only makes me stupid. I don't really feel shady on it. I don't get a fever. I just am dumb as hell for like a week. And anyways, Brittany, my wife, is affected a little differently by it. So I get home one day and she's like, hey, guess what? I have COVID. And I'm like, how do you know you have COVID? And she's like, I went and bought one of the store tests. I'm like, why the? I was so pissed. I'm like, why did you do that? It's on your credit card. Well, I I I needed to, you know, know. And I go, the fuck you did. I'm like, we're young, we're freaking healthy. Do you feel like you're gonna die? And she's like, no, but I just needed to know. And I'm like, no, because now I have to have a guilty conscience when I don't fucking abide by anything. Not saying I didn't, allegedly.
SPEAKER_00:Allegedly. Did you have COVID last week?
SPEAKER_01:No, I don't think I did.
SPEAKER_00:Okay. He was kind of retarded last week. That's why I asked. Oh, I might have. Yeah, he's been kind of on the retard train recently.
SPEAKER_01:I wasn't that no, dude. I'm I'm retard, retard from COVID. Like, I can't like I used to look because I was working a dealer for a while, and this is when I didn't realize I had COVID until later. But like I I would be on the phone with people and I would forget what the hell we were talking about. Like, and it's pretty easy. I've been doing this shit for eight or six years at the time. Like, what car do you want? What's your trade like? Make you feel happy, send up one. Yeah, dude. I couldn't remember a damn thing that we were talking about. Like one of the things. First day hitters. Yeah, it sucks. And it was right after I moved to Phoenix too, and literally went from a store that was 150 cars on a good month to a store that was a thousand fifty cars on a good month. And I'm like, oh God, I don't know if I can handle this. I done fucked up. But a week later, I was like, okay, it was it was the vid, not me. Yeah. So it makes me stupid. And if anyone lost anyone, I do feel bad. But a majority of the people that it really affected were, you know, the obese, I don't know, elderly, elderly. Which sucks. Like it sucks. But at the same time, like we've artificially created, you know, the lengthing of our life, which is awesome. You get more life. But, you know, we've uh we've stretched it out quite a bit. And you know, doctors tell you quit freaking smoking, you know, take care of your lungs, take your heart doing it, take care of your heart. So, like, if you're a pre-existing to, you know, have a high chance of COVID wiping you out, and it's because of what you did to yourself, like, guess what? COVID ain't the only disease taking you out. So is heart disease.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Obesity, heart disease, diabetic, cancer, cancer, all that stuff.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Fentanyl. Retinol. Retinol. That's it's fentanyl. Oh, fentanyl. That's gonna say retinol. That's fentanyl. Fentanyl medication or something. No, fentanyl. Okay. So we got COVID. COVID's in the past. COVID led to a lot of good things. I'm here in Phoenix because of COVID. Or I moved to Phoenix a lot faster because of COVID. That's kind of cool. I just got the hell out of Oregon. Oregon was locked in.
SPEAKER_00:Dude, I don't know how you would live in Oregon. I still don't know how people live in California and Oregon to today.
SPEAKER_01:Well, before Thanksgiving, 2020, the governor came on TV and said, it's your responsibility if your you know neighbors are violating the COVID protocol or whatever it was. It's your responsibility as an Oregonian to, you know, inform law enforcement. And I'm like, what? Like, and it's crazy to Oregon, if you don't know, has got a very left, very, very left governor. What was her name? It wasn't Hobbes, was it? Hobbes, King's. I don't pay attention to states like Oregon. Yeah, I'm I'm brain-dumb in her name, but she was an idiot. And then they compare all the people on the right to, you know, Nazis and Hitler. Yeah. And I'm like, Fascists. You're telling in this same news, in the same press conference, you're telling us to report our neighbors for doing what you don't think is right, which by the way, the people who didn't report and like they were kind of on the right side of shit. And at the same time, you're calling us fascists. Dude, remember the hair salons closed down? Yeah, dude. I I used to have to go to my haircutter lady to go to her house.
SPEAKER_00:We had a we ended up bringing ours to my house and we had a party. Yeah. For all the guys at the dealership who needed their haircut. COVID party. I like that.
SPEAKER_01:But she was like worried. Like she was like, hey, just you know, don't park in front of my house if you could walk down the street a little bit. Like apparently there was some bitch in Oregon, like some stylist probably had blue hair, some stylist with blue hair in Oregon, like legitimately going around and turning in people operating out of their own home. That's a bummer.
SPEAKER_00:We had a huge party of like 15, 20 people.
SPEAKER_01:Oh yeah, dude. We had, I mean, it was awesome. It was cool, dude.
SPEAKER_00:And our gal did not care. She's just like, yep, let's do it.
SPEAKER_01:We have family get togethers of people over. Like, I wasn't about that life. My like my theory was like, cool. If you're about that life, wear your fucking mask, which, by the way, those type of masks that we wear, useless. They're spit masks, by the way. How many times, dude?
SPEAKER_00:I see people drive around in those by themselves in the car. Oh, still. Yeah, still to today. I think I saw one last week.
SPEAKER_01:You know, my favorite is when you see a couple out, one person's wearing a mask and one person's not.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. That's also really funny.
SPEAKER_01:Do you guys know math or science or math ain't that? It ain't fucking rocket surgery, but uh, I don't know. Maybe they ain't fucking.
unknown:Who knows?
SPEAKER_00:They have a mask on it, yeah. Oh. That'd be fun. That'd be some freaky shit.
SPEAKER_01:Nasty.
SPEAKER_00:Breathe into my mask.
SPEAKER_01:That's gross semi-Vane from V or from uh Batman or whatever. That's some weird role play. It would be. Especially the people that wear the mask. When they drive, I'd be way out of their character. I'd watch it. I'd pay for it. If you're mirroring this and that's you, you could probably start on OnlyFans. People would pay for that shit. They probably wouldn't. Okay, so what the hell did I want to talk about? No clue. AI. I don't want to get you wanna go into this rabbit hole? Yeah, dude. We got some time. This is early. And and it's probably one of the biggest things in today's, you know, topics about what people are going through is like, what jobs are AI gonna replace? Let me help you out. All of them. All of them. Yeah. Every single, but if I'm in the blue collar space, I'm gonna be safe because of robot. Dude, are you seeing what the f what I I just bought a robot for my house? It's supposed to be here early 26th. Elon's robot can do shit and lift more, you know, lift more weight than humans can. And it's a humanoid. They are going to replace the HFactex. I promise you that. Like, here's the thing. They just follow a simple tech manual. They may not be able to diagnose, but how do people diagnose? It's look at some shit, you know, take some measurements, and then you know, fix the most likely option to fix the problem. Isn't that all algorithm-based? Yeah. Yeah. So a computer can do that way quicker.
SPEAKER_00:Well, a computer can detect a car driving in front of you. It can detect what's wrong and what's wrong on an AC unit. That's all.
SPEAKER_01:So all jobs are gonna be replaced by AA. Now, the cool thing about humanity is we always figure out a way to live with technology. Everybody thought the radio was gonna take everything out, the cell phone, the remember 1999 to 2000?
SPEAKER_00:All the Y2K. Oh, yeah, there was Y2K. Everything was gonna shut down.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, that's because some jackass in Microsoft didn't program Mike's like, we're only gonna be around for 10 years. We don't need to go into the 2000s. Fire the slack. Everything's gonna break. But nothing broke. Everybody got their I don't know. I use AI all the time. I mean, so do I. But the here's the thing about AI is you can't use it to replace your your a little bit of your creative thinking. Like you still have to teach yourself to think through problems. But here's what I find cool about AI is it's gonna allow more and more people to be creative. Yeah, it really is. Like the jobs of 2030 and beyond are all gonna be what can you create to society? And you know, there's gonna be a lot of people that are listening to this, or you know, maybe I get a little reel out of this, that they're gonna sit on AI and they're not gonna learn it. And what's crazy as hell is I look back like shit, dude, I should have learned how to code.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, a thousand percent.
SPEAKER_01:I kind of grew up in that age where, dude, at a young age, I could have learned coding.
SPEAKER_00:You could have stayed a fat little nerd and be coding and stuff now instead of having a gym in your garage.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, and then owned your bitch ass and you know, learn that skill set. I mean, there's there's people in the tech world, especially people like have you seen the salaries they're paying some of these the AI engineers? Oh, it's millions. Like it's crazy. Literally Google and GPT or OpenAI, whatever it's called, they're hitting people with like million plus dollar sign bonuses just to steal them from their competitor and then paying them seven-figure salaries.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Nerd shit. Man, I fucked up. But here's the cool thing about AI is it can do a lot for you, but you gotta understand how to use it. What's the most advanced thing you do with AI? Are you talking to me? Yeah, I'm talking the fuckhouse is in the dude.
SPEAKER_00:I don't know. Maybe you're talking to them. Maybe you're like, oh, what's the most drop it in the comments? Like on the channel.
SPEAKER_01:Make sure you subscribe to us.
SPEAKER_00:Um, the most dude, I use it for a lot. Well, you've seen everything I built with AI. Yeah, I know. So we use poppy AI a lot. Poppy A isn't it? Poppy AI is really good. I think almost the whole office is on Poppy AI now. Most of them. Jesse bought it, Evan bought it, Tommy has it, I have it. I just don't think you have it.
SPEAKER_01:80% of them know how to like know how powerful it is. They knew how to do basic shit. But even using the basic shit with it, it makes GPT or Gemini or whatever you know, one you're pushing to a lot more advanced and a lot easier, a lot more focused.
SPEAKER_00:I even use GPT sometimes to prompt poppy. Yeah, I did that. Because it worked, it works really well when you do it that way.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, when I when VEO3 videos through Gemini came out when they first did the eight second cut before, like when they're they were they were good, but they were shooting the bigfoot videos and stuff. You could prompt a video from OpenAI better than you could prompt from freaking Gemini. Yeah. Like its own platform. And for some reason AI or OpenAI did a better job, just prompt it through GPT, put it in Gemini VEO3, and it worked a hell of a lot better.
SPEAKER_00:Well, it's even for this. I'll take this whole hour long and I'll put it into Opus Clit and I'll cut it into 30 second segments and then I'll put it into captions and that'll put B-roll in music and make it look good, make it look sexy. Yeah, I gotta start doing that. And then it posted as little reels.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Opus Clip works really well when you have long content like that and you can chop it up and get like 40, 50 videos out of it. I have like probably two, three hundred videos just sitting there. I could post as reels or something.
SPEAKER_01:I can use it to edit these podcasts, cuts out all of our ums. Oh yeah. Um, you know, it can it it breaks it up, transcribes it, figures out what topics, gives me a title name. Like, yeah, we gotta sit here and we gotta find stuff to talk about. But like it's like having a personal assistant. Like you're using it for a personal assistant, you're using it right. Like, don't replace yourself or try to replace yourself because you'll just become dumb and useless. But like use it to replace the tasks that you do every single day.
SPEAKER_00:It's doing the shit you don't want to do. How long would it take to edit 40 videos and the 30 to minute and 30 clips and put people behind them?
SPEAKER_01:The cost of it. I mean, shoot, I think if we pay 320 bucks a year for Opus clip, I think it's more than that. Oh no, it's not much. I didn't bat an eye at it, I just dropped it.
SPEAKER_00:Because there's no credits, because you get X credits and then you have to buy more credits, so I think I did more credits. Oh well, I don't even use all my I have like 4,000 credits, I think. And then Poppy was 2,000 up front, and then I paid it was$2,000 up front, and then I paid another$1,200 for the year to double the credits. Yeah. Because I was blown through them.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, Poppy's killer though. Yeah. I haven't used Poppy that much. Opus, I just have whatever credits came with the annual. I want to say it was$360, three something. What would you pay for an editor for$40 reels? Four grand? More than that.
SPEAKER_00:Maybe eight grand? Yeah. Somewhere in that ballpark. Depending on like what you wanted them to do and how many videos, like you said, eight reels, but he still got to go through all the content. Well, 40 reels. 40? Yeah, 40. Oh, dude, that would be I don't know, 500 bucks a reel, maybe?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, near 250 to 500, depending on how they are. And expensive.
SPEAKER_00:It takes weeks for them to get it when they have to chop up long form. And with Opus Clip, it's in 30 minutes. Not even. Yeah. 20 minutes. 15, 20 minutes. The longest part's uploading the video to Opus Clip, and then it cuts it. And then you have to apply like iCloud it to captions. But I did see, remember we were talking earlier about Mirage with Adams? Yes. That's the that's the deep dive I'm going into to know. No, Mirage is the computer version of captions. It's the same thing, it's just ones for the desktop and one's for the phone. So Mirage is captions, but captions is for the phone based. I already looked into it because I was messing around. I was like, what's this Mirage? And I go to and look at Apple login, same platform as captions.
SPEAKER_01:All right, I'm gonna have to dig into that today.
SPEAKER_00:But you have to pay for a separate subscription. Even if you have captions, you have to pay for Mirage, which I was like, God, that's bullshit. Because it saved me from having to transfer from my phone from the computer to my phone. What do you think you're spending on AI annually? Oh probably like 10 grand.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I'm probably about five, maybe six. Yeah. But that's also that's probably a lie because, dude, I've dropped. I mean, I was paying for Gemini when it first came out or MDO3. That was I think 600 bucks a month.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. So I was on the couple of things. You're probably closer to 10. Because with Poppy and with Opus Clip. Yeah, Poppy wasn't too much. Yeah. It's a lot of$500 charties. Oh, they added quick too. And Poppy wasn't even, it was like four grand. Yeah. Buying lifetime and then getting 2,000 extra credits a month, it was four grand for the year.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:That was my most expensive one. Poppy's powerful. By far one of the best investments.
SPEAKER_01:And what's crazy is if you're just listening to this segment, I mean, we've dropped$100,000 value in the last 10 minutes of just AI tools that you can use for your business.
SPEAKER_00:Dude, Poppy will drop scripts, teachings, landing pages. I mean, whatever you need it to do.
SPEAKER_01:And it's better when it goes to the deep deep think model and gives you a. I mean, it takes forever for it to work if you go that, but yeah, it gets balls deep into some interview.
SPEAKER_00:And it makes the scripts, I can make them sound just like Andy, or I can make them sound just like whoever I need to sound like. So for all these coaches that are like, I don't know what content to do. I'm like, here's a 30-day plan. Oh, that's what I can score.
SPEAKER_01:I'm like, find me the top three people in your industry that you're similar to. Not some crazy simple bitch that give me the top three. Yeah. Cool.
SPEAKER_00:Take their content to theirs, and then it blends it, uses it as a knowledge base. Uses their own content to figure out their tone and what they say. Yeah, it's a killer. It's really cool. So we'll drop our affiliate link for Poppy AI in the chat or in the comments. So if you want to sign up, you can. So if they're seeing this, we should send it to them. There's gonna be one person that's like, where's the affiliate? Like DM Greg. DM me. I'll send you my affiliate link. Jonathan hasn't got to that level yet, but I've had like six affiliate sign-ups on Poppy.
SPEAKER_01:So yes.
SPEAKER_00:I don't even use GPT anymore.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, I really do.
SPEAKER_00:The only thing I use it for is for the reframe objection handler or my script maker or my three-pillar framework. But I use it for anything else.
SPEAKER_01:GPT nowadays, mostly for replacing Google.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, that too.
SPEAKER_01:Because even Google, if it has a Gemini connection, just it doesn't seem to do as well. Gemini is better for certain things, though, but for a quick Google or quick information find, like nothing too deep, you know, not deep research. That I know you can turn GPT onto deep research mode and all that. But just for quick information, I like GPT. My kid uses it a lot. I see on my account she's got like half her homework assignments on here. Oh, that's funny. That's friggin' smart.
SPEAKER_00:I don't even know why they even teach curriculum anymore. Like why they teach history and stuff and stuff.
SPEAKER_01:I think they should to a degree, but they should teach more of the critical thinking aspect of it and like formulate thoughts. And I know they won't because, you know, the Rothschilds, but like, you know, my my daughter's oh, we get in trouble for using it. And I'm like, screw your teacher. I don't care if you get caught. When do you ever talk about World War II anymore? It's it's good to know.
SPEAKER_00:Like for what? Conspiracy theories, dude. Okay, what about trigonometry? If you're gonna be an engineer, are you an engineer? No. So do you need trigonometry? No. Algebra.
SPEAKER_01:I in the auto game, I actually use algebra quite a bit. And the uh when? Well, for figuring things out. What would you what? So for example, I developed in theory a badass, very motivating pay plan when we changed my dealership. It actually made my guys. The fact that you need algebra. No, hold on. Listen to this. It was a pretty good pay plan, man. It was, you know, a certain, you know, a certain number above the you know, above pack was$150 mini. It was for new Hun base. Yeah. Right. You lose money. We had a, I forget,$1,000 pack per car, whatever it was. I don't remember. But basically, like if you sold a new Elantra, the dealer, how we were paying out was like negative$600. So like my sales guys had no incentive to not whore out every Elantra. Yeah. Okay, whether they piss away all the gross we do have or whatever, we'll go with it. So I made it where it was, you know, I think it was like negative$400 and below was$150 mini. Negative$400 to positive$400 was a$250 mini or whatever. And then I think it was$800. And then$800 and above gross on the vehicle was a$500 mini.
SPEAKER_00:So where's algebra coming to this equation?
SPEAKER_01:So algebra became because I came up with this badass pay plan and it worked well, the dealership group. My sales guys made more money, we made more money. But I proposed it to David, and he's just like, cool. Now we need to figure out how to pay on that and not cost anyone much time. I'm like, oh, you know, we'll just adjust our spreadsheet a little bit. And he's like, he's like, can you do that? And I'm like, I mean, I could probably figure it out. And he's like, good, I'm not gonna do it. So you're doing it. And I'm like, son of a bitch. I spent eight hours that day. I literally went to my GSM. I'm like, I got a big project. Eight hours to build a spreadsheet that calculated all that.
SPEAKER_00:And you know, I think that's algebra.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, it was a hundred percent algebra. Multiplication, subtraction, it had that, but you had to figure out the formula. Like algebra, solving algebra is dumb as hell. Being able to figure out an unknown formula and and do that has thing. And yes, I've used algebra to a little bit degree. Like, for example, when okay, I don't use it very much.
SPEAKER_00:Exactly. That is my point, exactly. But if you the kids don't know how to even look at their credit score, but that's the thing.
SPEAKER_01:Well, yes, we could teach shit like that, but we can also teach kids how to use AI. We could. We could teach them how to implement it and get them way ahead because I mean that's what I'm saying. Teach them how to use AI to do all their homework. Exactly. And then, but here's the thing is then you make them use AI to have to think more deeper and critical. The problem with that is the Rothschilds, the problem with that is is AI has been infiltrated by the whatever agenda has produced it. That's like even GPT. Like I'll ask it some shit, and I'm like, this is weird. This doesn't make sense. One, it'll give you false information, like it's just scanning some source and giving you back information. So if miss or false information is out there, you're gonna get that content. So you still have to be able to think through it. But GPT definitely has a left, left leaning, you know, how it answers shit. Same thing with excuse me, same thing with Gemini. Wikipedia is another shitty one. That's not AI, but I used to.
SPEAKER_00:That's not I don't even look at Wikipedia anymore.
SPEAKER_01:I didn't know that was still around. I I I read Wikipedia a lot. The problem is you can't go political conspiracy theory on Wikipedia because, dude, just go read the art, go read Trump's page, and you'll be like, God damn, this is some left-wing and left-wing bullshit. Nothing, his whole page, nothing good that he did. It's all how horrible he is and how he's you know destroyed the world and been compared to Hitler and this is a fascist. Yeah, I used to donate to Wikipedia every year just because I felt bad because I spent so much time just reading random articles, and last two years I've basically said nope. Yeah, screw them. I know someone is. I'm gonna use Wikipedia, so 900 bucks. You use the Brock?
SPEAKER_00:I do sometimes. Dude, grock. I really use conspiracy I use poppy for like everything. I use poppy for most of the things. I should use poppy and see what it says about conspiracy theories. Oh, dude, yeah, because you can't. That's one thing we haven't done yet.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, you could take some wild nut job shit from the internet, put it in there, a lot of articles or a lot of like websites. Oh, yeah, you could you could do that.
SPEAKER_00:We could done it on a D pool doing some Poppy AI deep dives on conspiracy theories. And then you find out aliens are real. Yeah, or where we didn't land on the moon. Hey, here in two weeks, we're gonna be able to talk to the fucking aliens. That's true. Because in two weeks, you know what we have to do in two weeks? We need to do a satellite podcast episode. From Messi Cole? From Mexico.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I got Starlink. No big deal talking to fucking aliens.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, that's what we're doing in Mexico. We'll be talking to aliens on Starlink. Pretty excited for it.
SPEAKER_01:I hope my alien's cool. Do you have a government agent? Do I? Yeah. No. Yeah, that's because you suck. I'm pretty sure I do. Like, I'm pretty sure I've got an agent, NSA, FBI just constantly assigned to my text messages.
SPEAKER_00:It probably does.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I haven't gone that deep down the rabbit hole yet. Yeah, I say a lot of dumb shit.
SPEAKER_01:After Mexica, I probably will, though. Like, that's that's how that's how those ads work, right? You think your phone is like just you know, read your brain and you know, but no, it's because your agent hears you talking about it. After this episode, I probably will be on, I probably will have an agent.
SPEAKER_00:What'd you talk about? Conspiracy theories, COVID's fake, schools indoctrinate kids. He's on the list. Yep. Get him an agent. Yep. Oh, my guy's cool too. If I get a guy who's not cool, no, my guy's probably nerdy as hell.
SPEAKER_01:Doesn't even laugh at the memes I send you. Yeah, my flags will my passport will get flagged, probably. Fuckers probably got pronouns.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:He's definitely getting stopped at the border on this trip. Yep. All right. So we've got COVID. We've got AI. We've got taking over the world. What else? It's football season, college football. How's that team that you like doing? Which one? Wherever you're from. I don't know. They got beat by Oregon, so fuck them.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, they did actually get beat by Oregon. Like the last 40 seconds of the game. Yeah. They were up the whole time, too. They had it, but you know it's weird down here in Phoenix because you don't really think it's football season because we don't have seasons. So being from Iowa, I'm like, oh, there's no snow on the ground. It's not cold. Football's still going on, and it's like playoff time. Yeah, it's about over. Yeah, it completely messes with your whole timing of the sports stuff. I'm like, why is basketball on? It's hot. And you just don't have time to pay attention to that shit here.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. You really don't. All together, I've maybe watched two games in full. Yeah, I've never even done eight different quarters. Game was on, put it on. Watched a little bit of Oregon, Iowa games just to make fun of you, turned it off, turned it on at the end. Finished good.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, even though we could watch it at work and no one would give a shit. No one has it on at work.
SPEAKER_01:I just don't have time.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:And then my brain is so full of stupid crap. Not stupid crap. Mike, I can't remember anything that I don't want to remember. And I know a lot of people say that, and that's like a stupid statement to say, but like literally, I pick it, like Brittany and I got in a fight today, not a fight, but she was like, You're mean. And I'm like, I know. I'll try to be nicer. But I was leaving for work, and usually she brings in the lunch that we pack and she's like, Could you bring this chicken into the office? And like it made me mad, but I'm like, that wasn't in my morning. I didn't plan to bring chicken.
SPEAKER_00:I feel so bad for Brittany sometimes.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. And now I have to remember to bring chicken, put it in my hand, walk it to my car, put it in my passenger seat, drive to work, remember that it's in my passenger seat, and put it in the fridge. And that takes time for me of thinking about other things that may or may not be valuable.
SPEAKER_00:I didn't know lunch was that big of an ordeal for you. It's not used to me. Forgetting what to eat for lunch. Food used to me. And having to bring it to actually have having to bring it to work.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, that's something. Red a true tide. So I've been on Peptide Talk. Yeah, we'll go. Actually, there were some good, good, you know, people like the peptide reels. So Red Atrue Tide, it's a new semi-glutide GLP one, whatever. It's like good stuff. It's got a three stacks of something in it, magical. Do your research. I recommend it. It makes it so you've got no fucking cravings to eat. Like you could tell you're hungry, but you just don't feel like eating anything. Yeah. I here's something that I've learned. I when I start getting that, like, oh, you need to eat, I just need to go eat something small.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Like I've been eating, I ate two small chicken thighs today. Yesterday for lunch, I had like three slivers of tri-tip. Heat it up, make it cold. Doesn't matter. It's not fun.
SPEAKER_00:Supposedly, if you eat carbs first, it makes you way more full.
SPEAKER_01:Wait, what?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, if you eat carbohydrates first when you're on Redotrutide, it makes you extremely full, extremely fast.
SPEAKER_01:I will say I had a bowl of cereal the other day because I was being bored and lazy and I ate like half of it, and I'm like, I can't eat anymore. Yes. Okay. That makes sense.
SPEAKER_00:That's and that's what I was told from the gal I get peptides from. She's like, if you eat carbs first, you're gonna be way more full.
SPEAKER_01:One of the things in it, the second one, is it makes you you have better use or something of glucose, like your body utilizes glucose better, which is gonna be the sugar. So that does make sense.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:So she was like, make sure you eat all your protein for a cent of meal and then eat your carbohydrates. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Ah, I don't really eat many carbs. Okay. Dude, I tried a piece, like, and I'm addicted to cheesecake. Tried a piece the other day. Where'd you get it from? Oh, dude, the Fred Meyer fries, whatever it's called here, has the best store-bought cheesecake I've ever had. It's like creamy, it's good.
SPEAKER_00:But yeah, you wouldn't kill me if you found out I had a piece of cheesecake. I'll fucking kill you. I'm on the carnivore diet.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, you're on the carnivore diet.
SPEAKER_00:1 to 8 p.m. I can eat.
SPEAKER_01:But I was sad I didn't enjoy my cheesecake. Well, one to eight p.m. is not even hard if you're on red at true side. Now I know how everyone's cheating the system.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Yeah. You see all these guys in the office losing all this weight, it's because they're on red at true tide.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, it's kind of a like, and it it has actually positive benefits to it.
SPEAKER_01:It helps you focus apparently, which is crazy because I could tell I'm hungry, but I'm usually pretty damn focused. Usually a keyword. And sometimes the ADD and autism kicks in, it's hard. Autism. But yeah, it's pretty cool. You don't crave food at all, which kind of makes you sad, but I guess you can get used to it. See, that's why you have to get back on Tesla Morlin, too. I can't. I might be allergic to it. I don't want to find out. Dude, that shit was rough. I think you just need to try it one time. What I need to do is I need to get some Tesla Morlin by itself. I need to get some CJC by itself and do a couple like you don't need CJC. Just Tesla Morlin. Well then I need to get Tesla Morlin by itself and do like a very, very small, like yeah, or if you want recovery.
SPEAKER_00:I've I think I've ran BPC7 before. Yeah, because that's what I'm on right now. I have it right into my knee.
SPEAKER_01:I have something upstairs right now. I don't remember what it is. It might be BPC. I've just been ever since I had the allergic reaction, I've been so freaking afraid of them.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, this is something I did want to tell you. You need to start shooting your TRT into your freaking deltoid. Why? It's so much easier than your thigh. Through an insulin needle? Through a little bit bigger than an insulin needle. But yeah, it's like an insulin needle.
SPEAKER_01:See, I don't really mind going to my thigh though.
SPEAKER_00:Dude, the needle difference is like this big to like this big. And it's no pain, no blood, nothing. I've done four injections in my deltoid, and it's just it's way better.
SPEAKER_01:I don't really mind my thigh too much though.
SPEAKER_00:I hate it. I'm just like, oh, is that the right spot? I never have to do that with it's in my deltoid. It's just pop right in. And then do you do it fast? It yeah. Because you can't pinch a skin or anything because you only have one hand. So it's like you're putting pressure on the skin and then it breaks the seal, and then poop, it's right in there. And you're like, oh, that's him. Game changer for anyone out there doing TRT. Game changer.
SPEAKER_01:I don't mind it that much in the thigh. There's an occasional day where my thigh is like knotted up and kind of sucks, but other than that, it's not bad. What makes you run faster? TRT. Oh, did you see that the they've got the uh enhanced games going on in Vegas? What's that? So it is a sport league. Basically, they're doing a bunch of Olympic sports, swim, run. It's everybody on gear? Yeah. Nice. You know, they test them, they take care of them to make sure they're not killing themselves. Yeah. But you know, they're not limiting anything. And basically the idea was, you know, some guys basically did some math and was like, dude, anyone who's competed at any level runs some sort of gear or performance enhancing bug. Totally. It's like they're just spending so much money to hide it and they're doing it dirty and they're freaking, you know, crashing themselves right before they might have like all sorts of just shit that's fucking them up more than just you know doing it safely. And they go, they all fucking use it. So, you know, let's just make a league where they're allowed to use it. And dude, it's bringing back like American Gladiator, dude. That's awesome. I love that show, American Gladiator Growing Up. It was 90s, dude. Yeah, that's what it was. It was like a bunch of jacked men and women just beating the shit out of the shit. On nerds. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, they were all awesome. And they sat there with the cannon and shot them like tennis balls and stuff. I remember that. That was awesome.
SPEAKER_01:Or like the pugle sticks and yeah, yeah, they had the little or they had to tackle them, they had to wrestle them. Pyramid. Oh yeah, it was cool stuff. But like they're not doing, I don't think they're doing the I think they are doing wrestling, but they're not doing like boxing because obviously you don't want to cause too much brain damage. But some dude already. Yeah, or break your rib. Some dude already broke the hundred meter, the hundred meter swim record. And anyone who breaks the record, any athlete who breaks the record, they're getting like a million-dollar payday. The athletes are getting, you know, freaking health insurance, they're getting, you know, decent freaking salaries so they feel like the Olympics is a scam. Like 100% a scam. It is just using high-level performers, putting them on a stage, making them feel good. But the U.S. doesn't sponsor the Olympic team at all. These athletes, for the most part, don't get paid a damn penny. As a matter of fact, a lot of the freaking athletes, depending on what sport it is, can't get paid. Yeah. Because they can't be considered professional. Now that they've, you know, changed it up for golf and I think boxing to a certain degree and basketball, a few sports like that where they allow professional athletes, but the Olympics used to just be amateurs. The Olympics is a scam. It is a scam.
SPEAKER_00:It's like countries spend billions of dollars for it to not be profitable. They talk about it every year that they're talking about building the Olympics.
SPEAKER_01:Well, yeah. And it destroys a lot of cities because they build this huge infrastructure, and then when the Olympic, you know, town or whatever, it just a lot of times it goes to waste.
SPEAKER_00:Just go look at the swim venue in Brazil. It's like a garden. It's so overrun because they can't pay to take care of it. Yeah, they can't pay them all the people that want to live there.
SPEAKER_01:And you know, they build it very quickly and they don't, you know, always do the best, and no one really does want to live there. Not a fan of the Olympics.
SPEAKER_00:I just like it because we win every year.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. That's it. Dude, Russia and China are starting with the never Russia.
SPEAKER_00:It's always China.
SPEAKER_01:Russia Russia's up there more in the winter Olympics, which makes sense. Summer Olympics? Yeah, we usually kick. Kick ass every year, which is kind of cool. But there's been a couple years. China's pushing us. Yeah, there have been a couple years that's been close. I think China last summer beat us on overall metal count. I think we have more gold. We have more golds, which is all that matters. But they're getting freaking close. Yeah. Which means more steroids. More steroids. For team USA.
SPEAKER_00:Yep. Like we need to be like Russia. They keep getting banned and shit from steroids. All the time. They get caught. And but here's the thing they get caught and they're only banned for like six months. So in six months, you just come back. Yeah, and then they still get your games compete. They just got new games on. For six months, you can use as whatever you want, run the hardest cycle you can for six months, and then come back a monster. God, I can't wait till these new Olympics. I think the hands games are going to be cool. It's kind of like ESP and the Ocho.
SPEAKER_01:They should have dodgeball. We need to bring like open steroid use back to baseball. I remember Maguire and Sammy Sosa cracked on the best seasons ever, man.
SPEAKER_00:Barry Bonds. Yep. Best seasons ever when everyone was using juice, man. Yeah, they were just cracking shit. Yeah. I remember that. That was the that was the summer. Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa just going at it.
SPEAKER_01:What other things are huge for uh have had big steroid use? I mean, obviously bodybuilding. You know, you've got your open, boring. Imagine the football players. Dude, most of them are. Like I grew up, like here's so I went to a middle school that fed into two high schools in Salem. And for some reason, Salem was split up. Like a lot of our middle schools fed into these two high schools out south. The school I went to, we literally our middle school team, I think we lost like a game or two. Like we were pretty good and we were just destroying everybody. And then half of us went to one school, the other half went to the other school. So the other school dominated at the high school level, just beat the shit out of everybody, especially in the Salem Kaiser League that we were in. And then even one year, I think it was my sophomore year, they won state or went to Salem. I'm pretty sure they won state. And I'm trying to do math one day, and I'm like, we all came from the same middle schools. What's the freaking difference? We literally, we had the good quarterback, we had the good running back. They just got a bunch of like the linemen and shit all for some reason went to the exposure. So I'm like, it's probably not the water on the other side of town because it's all you know municipality. And then I'm starting to look at these kids. I'm like, these guys are like all 50 pounds heavier than us. So my naive ass is like, oh, they must have a better weight conditioning, a weight coach. Nope. Pretty sure they were on some sort of gear. Gear. But my dumb ass didn't take advantage of it. So, like, our like, dude, our our our dudes are using gear in the off season. Not all of them. I know there's a couple that are super good, and I don't actually have any information, but allegedly they're big sons of bitches.
SPEAKER_00:Gear's where it's at, man. Yeah, you just don't get gronk big out of nowhere. No, dude. He changed so quick. Especially when he came back after he took that time off.
SPEAKER_01:Well, and that's the other thing. Like, you got guys like Rogers, uh, even Peyton Manning did it, and I know they weren't using gill, but gear, but stem cells, peptides, like all that shit to go, you know, get their ACL fixed in eight months and then come back. Like supposed to be a year minimum. And these dudes are like, oh, you know, Aaron Rodgers might be able to make a playoff run. He's like, he got hurt freaking six weeks ago. What the hell? Dude, stem cells are crazy. Stem cells are legit. If you don't, if you if you haven't, I mean, do research. They're they're spindy right now, but that's just because of big pharma. Yeah. And they're you know the reason that uh they're not even that new. But early in the 80s, or 90s, early 90s, late 80s, when they started to push stem cells, what happened is there was this big pharma campaign in the US to basically sell, oh, it's all aborted, you know, fetuses and shit, make everyone feel bad. No, you can get them from other bullshit, the umbarrel umbilical cord. There's you know, good ways to freaking harvest them, or you can just get fake ones. We can't sell fake ones in the US or you know, manufactured ones, whatever they call it. But you can get them from you know ethically sourced, umbilical cord, all the birthing tissue.
SPEAKER_00:There's a lot of ways to get them.
SPEAKER_01:So Big Pharma wanted to get rid of them because it fixes a lot of shit. It can, you know, help with uh soft tissue damage and get that fixed. Cancer heal, yes. There's you know potential.
SPEAKER_00:The billion, a trillion. What's the next number after trillion? A quadrillion. It's a quadrillion dollar. That's why you gotta know freaking algebra, Greg. Algebra had nothing to do with that bullshit.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, it was because you were like, okay, I've got a billion. If I multiply it by a thousand, I get x. What is x?
SPEAKER_00:But your mass doesn't know. That's multiplication. That's not algebra. Algebra is like solve for y a plus z x2 squared to the root. That's like algebra. Yeah, but adding and multiplying, subtracting, and dividing is simple mathematics. Algebra is math, but math is not simple. Simple mathematics.
SPEAKER_01:Okay. So let me let me demonstrate. Jonathan solve for why. You're at the store. You're broke as fuck. You've got eight dollars, but you really want two energy drinks, but you're also really hungry for some jerky. So the energy drinks cost you 450. What level X of jerky can you afford with your ADR?
SPEAKER_00:Simple math. That's not algebra. You put it in.
SPEAKER_01:Because you've got to figure out how much an algebraic algebra.
SPEAKER_00:I almost want to ask chat the question right now.
SPEAKER_01:Who? Chat, GPT. Oh, chat GPT. Is maths algebra?
SPEAKER_00:Dude, no, it's not.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, you want me to put in that formula? Like, is this algebra? That's not algebra. Just because you put things in there.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, that's like saying our sales script is algebra because we have if client has X problem, like just because you put X in it doesn't make it algebra.
SPEAKER_01:You could define it with an algebraic form or algebraic formula. I he's so full of shit right now. I'm pretty damn good. Let me know in the comments if you actually agree with me that Greg's a moron. It is simple mathematics, is what he's talking about. As a highly educated dropout.
SPEAKER_00:Highly educated dropout that went to Oregon.
SPEAKER_01:No. One, our school system sucks. Oh, dude, Aaron's other school system sucks. And a lot. I didn't get well, Iran went to school in Alaska for about a year. I don't know if they had school. Spelled it S-K-O-O-L. Honestly, someone should sue Hermosy for that because Alaska had it first. Yeah. Actually, West Virginia might have had that shit first. Yeah, probably. West Virginia, if listening to this, I got a case. I'm not a lawyer. It's easy. Y'all been spelling shit like that for fucking decades. Here come. Watch out, Hermosey. Met someone. I got on the phone with someone from West Virginia the other day. They said, Do you know where this is? I go, I don't know a fucking thing that exists in one place.
SPEAKER_00:Is that where your system lives? Yeah, west of Virginia. I'm gonna assume. Maybe, maybe not. I don't know. It's like North Dakota. I think it's north of South Dakota.
SPEAKER_01:Doesn't North Dakota have like Bismarck? No, that's Montana. No, that is North Dakota.
SPEAKER_00:What is one city in North Dakota? Bismarck. Is Bismarck, North Dakota? Yes, Bismarck, North Dakota. Oh, I was right. And Fargo. Fargo, North Dakota. Yeah. See? My not North Dakota.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, see, you smart.
SPEAKER_00:Yep. It's like when you say Iowa. Nobody knows anything in Iowa. No, it's potatoes. Because everyone says Idaho. I'm like, I'm from Iowa. And then we come back and talk like the next day. Oh, you're from Idaho. Shit. Does Iowa have potatoes? No. Yeah. Corn. Corn. Beef. Got good beef? A lot of beef? A lot of cows? Dude, the little restaurant next to the den, they advertise Iowa steaks. I'm like, man. The Salabrunk Grill. Oh, I don't like that place.
SPEAKER_01:I don't either. It's kind of I like that new Chinese place. Not Chinese. Han. Han. Korean barbecue. Korean barbecue. But they got a different name for it if you're going up to the lunch thing. Han Korean barbecue.
SPEAKER_00:Best called the Chinese. Best burgers in Fountain Hills for sure. Well, there's only two spots that have burgers, so I hope they're good. No, there's three.
SPEAKER_01:Probably four or five. You got Phil's, you got All American, you got the Saddle Bronck, you got Han's, you got to go fast food places.
SPEAKER_00:There's not a lot of choices in Fountain Hills.
SPEAKER_01:No. There's got to be one more. Nobody knows about it. Yeah, they got really good burgers. That place is solid. So what do you eat on the carnivore diet?
SPEAKER_00:Meat.
SPEAKER_01:Potatoes?
SPEAKER_00:Nope. Potatoes. Chicken. Chicken. Shrimp. Steak. Shrimp?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Fish. Turkey. I fucking ate turkey. Yeah, dude. You know what's crazy? Is everyone celebrates Thanksgiving with turkey. The one time of the year you eat turkey. You never eat turkey outside of that.
SPEAKER_01:Here's how stupid that is is you make a bunch of turkey and you make everybody miserable. Because no other time throughout the year are you like, hey, we should fucking have some turkey. Let's do a turkey. Want to eat some dry ass meat? Yeah, no. No one does turkey. We quit doing that. Like if we just do Thanksgiving at our house, we do like prime rib.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Tint for Christmas. Prime rib for Christmas. Ham's disgusting. I can eat a little bit of ham, but not much. Yeah, ham's okay. Like turkey, I can have a couple bites. If it's deep fried or even like trying to. Prime rib, I can do the whole thing. Oh, prime rib all turkey. Smash. I like the beef. Yeah, prime rib's good, but turkey is stupid. I like the potatoes. Gravy's good, but don't really need it.
SPEAKER_00:You have no, you have to eat turkey because turkey's so fucking dry. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, yeah, for me, turkey.
SPEAKER_00:It's like eating cat litter. That's how dry turkey is. But that's the carnivore diet, and I can only eat from 1 to 8 p.m.
SPEAKER_01:That's not bad.
SPEAKER_00:Mm-mm. So I go home and shoot peptides, eat lunch, come back, eat again and again.
SPEAKER_01:What are you doing? Three meals in that?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Three meals. And I'm supposed to start with the fat meat for fattier meat first and the leaner meat at night.
SPEAKER_01:Since I've been on Reddit Tree side, I've been I've noticed I've I need to eat like five or six times a day. Because it's such small portions of whatever bullshit I can throw in.
SPEAKER_00:Jonathan's like shriveling up like a fucking prune.
SPEAKER_02:I've lost like 10 pounds in a week. Eight pounds.
SPEAKER_00:It's miserable. He's also got zero muscle density. So.
SPEAKER_01:No, it's alright. I guess fucking. Yeah, I'm losing a little bit.
SPEAKER_00:Yep. See? Damn it.
SPEAKER_02:Gotta up that protein. Or just go to the gym. I've been going to the gym quite a bit, bitch. I didn't see you this week. I haven't been to Monday, Tuesday. You weren't there. Oh, yeah. Ooh. I haven't been sleeping.
SPEAKER_00:See, told you. Talk to me. Called me a bitch because I called him out for not going to the gym.
SPEAKER_01:Still helped you. What did we just do in my garage? You're like, oh, that's too much weight. So I'm like, Greg, let me show you what a man looks like. And you're like, I guess I can do it. And you could because of me, because I inspired you. I didn't know.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, to do a hundred and seventy-pound trap pull down or tricep pull down. Tricep pull down, 170. Actually, 183 is what it was.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. See, you didn't believe you could do it, Greg, but I knew you could do it. And it just took me doing it first to show. I was like, damn, that's kind of heavy. And you're like, watch this. Yeah. Yeah. That's okay. It sucks just not knowing your full potential.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. He also set the gym up in his garage. He also has two bolts that are missing from somewhere. No, they're not.
SPEAKER_01:They're extra.
SPEAKER_00:He has two extra bolts.
SPEAKER_01:It means I'm so good at building.
SPEAKER_00:So something's not actually set up right on that machine, and maybe it's how that is.
SPEAKER_01:I think it's two extra bolts. The little um dumbbell holder I bought is pretty cool because they gave you like the bag of bolts and shit and nuts and all that. And those are yeah, bolts. And then it had an extra bag and it said extra pieces. And I'm like, that's freaking smart. Because every time you build something, occasionally they throw in like a couple extra here, a couple extra there. By the way, with the thing I set up, there were no extra nuts. There were no extra washers, but there are you know two extra screws, 90 millimeter bolts.
SPEAKER_00:I'm gonna assume something's not set up right. I don't know.
SPEAKER_01:It's pretty damn strange.
SPEAKER_00:It's just like him trying to hook the bar at the very top level, it doesn't actually hook.
SPEAKER_01:No, but then you notice that you you pointed out that it's not the same shape and at the same size, so it might be something different. And I want to know what that different is right now. It's probably what the two bolts are for.
SPEAKER_00:Somewhere, someplace. If Jonathan ends up dead in the garage, it's because he didn't put the machine right together. I'm missing something. But we did paint the garage. That was actually kind of interesting because at first it was purple. It was purple. He was gonna have a purple garage.
SPEAKER_01:It's still purple at the right angle with like true sunlight.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Like garage light, LEDs, or whatever the hell's in there. I don't think they're LEDs because they got the little bar thingies. Fluorescent lights. I should change those.
SPEAKER_00:Sunny's gonna have pronouns to go with this purple garage.
SPEAKER_01:It's a it's a hemher.
SPEAKER_00:It's a hemher.
SPEAKER_01:It's a hemmer. It's a fuck you. That's interesting.
unknown:Damn it.
SPEAKER_01:I lost my train of thought. Painting his garage purple. How good would I look with blue hair in a purple garage? I don't want to see it. Fricking pulling down 170 pounds. Dude, we're so gonna get banned on the D-Bet. Yeah. No, the Dark Well will probably like this.
SPEAKER_00:Range? Is it called Shadow Band? Shadow Band, yeah. I'm uh bringing a Shadow Band. We have to change your name anyway, so I might as well Shadow Band.
SPEAKER_01:I think we might be good now. I think it finally published on Apple.
SPEAKER_00:Do we want to make sure we were legit?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I don't know what copyright law is on like podcast names. Because there's like 14, come to find out. There's like four built to more or built for more or built for more podcasts out there. So maybe if I just spell podcast P-O-D-C K-A-S-T. K-A-S-T. Yeah. You could try it. Podcast. Yeah. I might actually grab some ice.
SPEAKER_00:Then we could actually make some works on how to build your podcast, but with a K instead of a C.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:And then we could have Poppy mill it all out for us. And I'm like, hey, got you to call them it. And the K can be backwards. Pod cast with a backwards K. That's what I love about my haters. Dude, that one gal was.
SPEAKER_01:Nah, she would just hate it. I've had some the Ohio guy that he was weird. He had to get blocked because he got personal with it and started going after other people, which I'm not okay with. Hate me, but don't go after my people. But like, who has enough energy to be sitting in their mom's basement and spend time commenting on something that quote unquote you don't like, don't agree with, or just want to bring someone down?
SPEAKER_00:Dude, I love it. Like I'm all about bullying. It just feeds the algorithm because when they comment on it, it increases our reach. So it's like, please just comment some more. Oh, I'm okay with them.
SPEAKER_01:I 100% don't care. But like if you're listening to this and you're a digital hater, like how could you feel like a man sitting in your garage or your basement, your mom's basement, well, your girlfriend probably don't have a girlfriend, but hypothetically you do. But she's it's a they, them. It's a they them with blue hair. Yeah, questionable.
SPEAKER_00:It's a they them situation. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:What does that make them?
SPEAKER_00:Like they can't be a boyfriend. Are they a them friend? They get to choose what they want. They can sometimes be a boyfriend and sometimes be a girlfriend. Oh, that's kind of them. Yeah, they can switch it up. Damn, I never thought of that.
SPEAKER_01:That gets weird. Really weird. The them friend sit, like sitting upstairs doing God knows what. Playing with like her box. If I was like, imagine this. I decided to be an online hater. I'm like, hey, you suck, yeah, bam, bah. And then I have to go upstairs and be like, hey, Brandon, guess what I did? Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Dude, just like all the people that comment on Andy's stuff, it's the same thing. And then Andy called that one guy who was hating on his stuff today, and the guy's like, it froze, completely froze. Oh, did they shoot some content up there? Yeah, the new reel. This guy, it's called the Jacob test, and they called his dealership and they're like, hey, he's like, hey, it's Andy. You know, you've been hating on my comments. Okay, we're gonna do this. 2014, Nissan Ultima, 30,000 miles. Hey, the price is too much money. The dude literally couldn't say anything. It was so great. But that's how most of those people are, man. They're like, they talk this big game behind their little keyboard, sitting at home.
SPEAKER_01:It's because people have something that you want and you don't agree with. I tell people this all the time. Like, if you were, let's just say japped as hell, like japped as hell, biggest son of a bitch in the gym, and some little, you know, nobody scrawny little, you know, fit fat fuck comes up to you and gives you shit for looking like shit at the gym, you're not even gonna get fucking triggered. You're not gonna care, you're gonna laugh and walk away. Yeah, because it's dumb. But let's say you're you know thinking you're going to the gym, you're a fat ass, you're telling everyone you're in shape, and someone gives you shit. Like, the only reason you might get triggered is because what they said is fucking true. Yeah. Like, and sometimes what people say about my shit is completely true. Yeah. Like the ones that are like, you just did that to you know, spark some comments. No shit, dumbass. Thank you. Yeah, I could have guessed you were part of the elegant group. Yeah, like my freaking thing about uh if you use food stamps, you're you know, it's gonna keep you broke or something. No, it coupon.
SPEAKER_00:If you use coupon at the grocery store, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:And I can argue that it will, like, if you're actually taking time to sort for them. And then people wanted to, well, mine just automatically connect to my Fred Meyer or my freaking Safeway app and they automatically get a pride. I'm like, that's not a coupon, that's a discount, you dumb son of a bitch. They just trick fucked you, so you keep buying dumb shit. Yeah. Like old school coupon, you get the freaking paper, you clip them all out, you save eight bucks for four hours of work.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Like, I mean, I was I did post some hate where I said it is kind of funny watching the people with like the$600 bill and they walk out and it's like five cents. That's impressive. The extreme couponing.
SPEAKER_01:How much, like, I I I watched a segment on one of those shows and how much time they went into it, and just hours and hours. I'm like, bitch, get a job. Yeah, 600 bucks. I'm taking the care of a family saving 500 bucks at the grocery store. Bitch, you spent 40 hours working. Minimum wage would pay you 1,500 more on. I don't know if that's what minimum wage is, maybe a thousand. And you'd be less fat. True. And your hair would go back to a beautiful blonde instead of a blue.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, that's also true.
SPEAKER_01:You know, the quickest way to fix blue hair?
SPEAKER_00:What? Make money. Ah, true. That's the same thing what I always say about people finally being conservative when they have their first good paycheck. Oh, and they see the triple. They see the taxes.
SPEAKER_01:I saw a good IR or a good reel yesterday, and it was someone sitting at like a say, I think it was a car car sales thing, and they're sitting at the sales desk, or they're sitting at their desk, and uh there's you know, a picture you would assume it's a family, and it's like, this is you know, he's just staring at it all emotionally and shit. And he's like, this is why, all right, this is how I remind myself why I work so hard every day, and he turns around, it's just that IRS logo. I was like, damn, you know, you work up until about September before you even make a dollar. What? Mm-hmm. Until about the month of September, that's the government's money. Well, think about it. Like, and I'm talking more W-2. When you start, you know, being 1099, there's a song, I mean there's different write-offs and shit that you could do. But like let's just say you're a W-2 employee and you're making a couple hundred grand a year, right? You're probably gonna be taxed an effective tax rate. I don't know the actual number, but it's gonna be 30-ish percent, give or take two points. So 30 your 30% of your money is going to the Fed, depending on what state you live in. For example, Oregon, our shit was like, fuck, I don't know. My effective tax rate there was like eight or nine percent. Yeah. So add that, I'm at 45%. Then I had a little bit of city bullshit for Mary, Marion County for the school board. That was stupid. Then you're paying property tax. Oregon, you don't have sales tax, but then you have sales tax. Then you have every other fee and then bullshit thing. I mean, you're I mean, minimum, I think in a good state that's not tax too heavy, minus maybe Alaska, you're getting you're paying 50% tax. Yeah. Just from Fed, state, property, sales, like whatever other shit that you buy, like you're minimum paying 50%. So you're not getting you're not paying yourself till July. Then you go to California, you're not paying yourself till September. That's true. Arizona, you're probably August, somewhere in that. Like we're not horrible, but we're not great. Yeah, that's that's actually really true. So you work for the government 50% of your time.
unknown:Nice.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Makes you a slave. Yeah, it does. Slave to the government.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Taxes are illegal without representation. And the last time I checked, there hasn't been no real representation since the Tea Party.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, that's that's all true.
SPEAKER_01:Fuckers riot, burnt tea, almost started a war over a three percent. Taxed. Yeah. What are we at now? Stupid percent tax. 30%. Don't pay your taxes, people. I'm just kidding.
SPEAKER_00:What would happen if no one paid their taxes?
SPEAKER_01:I don't know.
SPEAKER_00:What if another one paid their taxes and they said, fuck it, we're out.
SPEAKER_01:Here's the thing. So here's another topic, and I know we're going over whatever, but here's a good topic. The government shut down for a record amount of time. What, 60 days or some shit? Yeah. 58, something like that. Whatever it was. Did anything in your life change? No. Could we still have police, fire, medical, school systems? Okay. State ran hospitals still stayed open. Planes still flew. Post office still flew. Planes, you know, kind of flew. You know, TSA workers might have gotten laid off, but honestly, they're miserable freaking people for the most part.
SPEAKER_00:They didn't get laid off, they just didn't go to work.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, a few of them didn't go to work. Oh, we might not get paid. Well, the ones that did get paid got some bonuses, bitches. That's such a pro move. I like it. I hope they really do get that. But like, here's what I would have done. Anyone who didn't have a job who was considered essential, we can just decise some government right there. Like, you know what? We're not bringing you back. Nothing really changed. But, but, but shut the fuck up. Go back. Go back home. We just figured out who's worthless and it was everybody. That's how it turned out. Yeah. Because I'm not like, I, you know, you you do need some socialism in society. Yeah. We could all argue the fire department's probably a good idea to be ran by the state, city, something, something, something. EMS for the most part, or at least to be funded by the state, maybe ran privatized like most EMSs are. Police probably need some police. It's called the Sheriff's Department, by the way, in the Constitution. City and state, unconstitutional. Sheriff legit, because they're an elected official. So we just need a, you know, to grow our sheriff's department, get rid of city, get rid of state, make sure they don't answer to any city commissioner or the governor, because that's stupid. So keep the sheriff, let him be elected by the people. So we can eliminate some police and then increase our sheriff and sheriff deputies. School system, I think overall is a good system. I still think it's a parent's job to teach their fucking kid, but I think we need school for the most part because not only does schools you know serve the purpose of teaching people dumb shit, but it also honestly just serves the purpose of daycare. Yeah. I guess a huge benefit to a school system is you got daycare K through 13, 12, 12, K through. College, waste it, get rid of it, get rid of all state scholarships. Or reallocate state and federal scholarships to trades.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:It should be 80% trades, 20% university, because the university, unless you want to be a doctor or lawyer, it just doesn't benefit anybody. Look at that. I am running for president. I might run for Fountain Hills mayor. Go ahead. Been tossing that idea around. I'd pay to see that actually. But you have to vote at Fountain Hills because I need one more vote. Dude, I'd be so fucking pissed if I did it. Your ass still living in Scottsdale and I'm like one vote away, that shit would happen. And then I'd have to come hunt you down. Son of a Jonathan for marriage. Yeah, because it's not a full-time position. It's not. I don't think he gets paid at Fountain Hills. It's like 2,000 bucks a year or something. Yeah. So it's not like a real thing. But uh put that on the bucket list for next year. Yeah, just some shit to do because I get bored. That's uh that would be cool. I don't know. I don't actually know what mayors do. I don't either. I'm assuming Fountain Hill is not much. Maybe goes to a board meeting once a month and has a little gavel. No, yeah. Your assistant has a gavel, but you just sit there and go, mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_03:Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_01:Like Mangani or whatever his name is. And then you occasionally sign a piece of paper. It's more ceremonial than anything. It's like, we're painting the fountain blue. Like, yeah, blue fountain. Yep. Yep. How are we doing with that? Jonathan's gonna be a mayor. Maybe a mayor. I'm gonna have a badass mustache. I'm gonna start wearing a freaking cowboy hat. Mayor Fountain. Big mustache that comes out in twists. Yeah, I'm gonna build a prison. You're gonna end Fountain Hills being a dark town. We're gonna have street lights. We're not building a prison. You know what's cool about social media? Now that I've said that, if I ever do run for political office of any sort, someone's gonna find that and then make a random cut. It's like, he wants to build a prison.
SPEAKER_00:He talked about it. He's gonna build a prison in Fountain Hills and get rid of the dark town. So we have street lights.
SPEAKER_01:Oh no, I like the dark town, except Drymean's a bitch. Yeah, it is. But the dark town's kind of cool. You get used to it. Even a lot of Scott is yours, is your neighborhood in Scottsdale a dark town? No. Mine was over at McDowell. Maybe. They well, it was a dark thing, but they had intersection lights. That's it. But yeah, any other street lights, just intersections lights. I think all we have are intersection lights. Yeah, that's a weird thing. That's a fountain hills had nothing. No, I don't think fucking hit curbs, direct through people's lawn. It's optional. You good, dude? I'm good. We're an hour and five. Later, people.
