He's baldered little pleb
let me get these peeps in Hello Joe lad, me little half Italian pal, I've sent you a mic kidder what joy you see did you
see my land yesterday man yeah because maloney rejected the two-state solution that commie
starmer and macron decided to announce with their albanese in australia and you're in all and carney in canada the duplicitous dirty plebs out you a lot
what nfts are we talking about tonight
nft is still a thing are they
i mean i hope so stargaze just reached out to me today asking if i have any you know ideas for nfts so i'm going to talk
to them this week and maybe i'll come up with an idea what to launch a collection
no not for a collection but i think just ideas for the platform in general
all right okay we we launched like a fucking i mean the numbers are absolutely at the minute
for when nobody on omniflix has even minted they've just watched it
uh last i looked we were at five minutes i think five minutes since friday thursday friday
which is shopping for finn like always with six we're at six minutes
for fin like always with six we're at six minutes
uh no that's on stargaze we just launched the day of craft work volume did you not get the link
i've uh i've barely been on twitter the last like week or so we can have
all right have you got any atom have you do i have what any atom
what do you have any though i was gonna give it out for halloween this year to the little kids
uh it's 1.5 atom so you can just obviously get that at them straight away on stargaze right you just i think i do have adam on the stars chain already somewhere so i
there you go you can go on you can go on mint graft work volume three it's pretty good like
it's got some decent tunes on like i don't think it's as as good as craft work volume two
in like like i don't know that was just all about Finn do you know what I mean
so this is like a little bit different so it's got its own little niche but it's
it's banging like it's got some banging songs on the dude really fucking good
it's worth grabbing a copy while I mean there was only like a I think ten
copies of the last one minted so all these like new releases that we've done
a graph work are all fucking limited
editions basically because once they're done they're done they ain't anymore do you know what
i mean there's a kid being fucking messaging me on discord every fucking couple of days trying to
get all the graph work volume one he's like i might have more than one because i there was one
nft that i minted but it also got airdropped to me for some reason so that might have been it
didn't you do your giveaway did you do a giveaway was that the omniflix one you did the giveaway
on where you did the video uh oh i'm sure with the last one i was supposed to actually i don't
think i follow through with that i have it written somewhere. I have to go back and do it.
It doesn't matter because I have the email address.
I mean, the wallet addresses.
I could do it anytime.
It's not like I have to keep track of anything.
So I'll go back and check that last Omni video.
I moved away from OmniFlix temporarily.
And then usually what I do is I go back and I make like five videos for it and then disappear for a bit.
I've been focusing on the new channel scott and having some fun doing the sports
stuff so um i don't know if you caught any of that but we're we're doing a sports
channel trying to see if we can grow it faster than the crypto nonsense and so far it's been fun
i logged on to fucking omni flicks the other day and who's the first face i saw on the first page
you i was like can i not get away from this i haven't been on omni flicks for like two months
that's funny you were first one yeah you've been watching the violence uh joe in europe or
in Europe or been watching what the violence in Europe uh no what what um
well you know you know Holland erupted right that I did not know no I did not
know that the difference with Holland is right it's not the Antifa lot that
fucking erupted it's the fucking football boys the
fucking fire annoyed and i act always and all i'm coming together to fight the cops so you haven't
seen the football lads fighting the cops now so they're fighting cops now all right well it's so
dude there's mad battles right going across uh europe there so in the netherlands because of that
walk uh the right boys the boys on the right have come out, the football lads essentially, the football lads have come out kicking off against the government.
They want an end all immigration, pretty much a similar thing that's been going on in the UK with the protests and that, right?
The Patriots, we call them, yeah?
So in England, you've got the Patriots kicking off, fucking having the protests outside these asylum hotels. You've got the patriots kicking off having the protests outside these uh asylum hotels you've got the patriots kicking off in and the netherlands but in france and in italy
so italy blew up yesterday dude the closed down milan central train station yesterday it was like
a war zone yesterday in italy i've never seen anything like it uh you know maloney you know
maloney came out and said she was rejecting the two
state solution that Stormer
and all them agreed to on Sunday.
Did you not say that, no?
I haven't been following. The last couple
weeks I've been checked out.
But I wouldn't expect her to
ever go along with that lot.
Mate, England's going mental.
I think it was the telegraph uh might have been
the telegraph or the express on uh sunday released this thing saying nine out of ten britons uh don't
uh back starmer in the uh move for a two-state solution nine out of ten people in the uk
for a two-state solution nine out of ten people in the uk i mean nine out of ten people like kind
of tells you something doesn't it so starmer macron mark carney uh albany is he down in australia
and i think there was one of the one there was like five of them so there's that un thing
in fact that's a good point did trump make his speech yet at the uh un assembly or not
That's a good point. Did Trump make his speech yet at the UN Assembly or not?
You're not Trump's duty to make his speech?
Dude, I don't even know. I don't recognize the UN from a personal standpoint.
I don't recognize NATO. I don't recognize the UN.
And I don't recognize the G7.
That's my personal embargo, tariff, whatever you want to call it.
I think it's all a circle
jerk and I don't subscribe
to it
the UN was born out of the ashes of
the League of Nations
that was Woodrow Wilson's idea
after World War I right
so the League of Nations was an absolute
it's stupid
it's
I'm not going to say it on a recorded space but um i don't i don't i don't
think it's really good at all unless you're on the un then it seems pretty awesome you get to like
you know travel get it's like being a dev actually in crypto
that's actually a decent analogy that actually it you know everything about everything even
though you've never done anything and you get paid to travel it honestly i maybe i'll apply
for that maybe i'll apply for that that's an it's an interesting one that you when you know
that uh that builder because that building's in New York, isn't it?
The headquarters.
Yeah, and every time they have one of those stupid meetings,
there's traffic over there.
It's a disaster.
All the consulates are over there too.
So I remember when I had to get my visa to go to Korea,
I had to go over there.
Do you know it's not part of uh it's not clarified or classified as being like part of
american soil the un building like in the area around it it's sovereign territory
so it's like disneyland disney world it's very similar very very similar i mean it doesn't come
under the uh the purview of the king like it does in Disney in Florida.
But it's something, it's like, I'm trying to remember what they call it again.
There's a proper term for it.
Because it's similar to the embassies.
You know how the embassies are declared like a foreign soil, essentially?
Do you know what I mean? Like the japanese embassy is not regarded as being
american soil for example right do you know what i mean i'd say where your man from wikileaks could
hide in the ecuadorian embassy for like six years or something, right? Yeah. I understand that, though, because you're kind of
trading soil for soil, but why does
New York have to give up the most
expensive real estate on the planet for this
stupid building? I don't get it.
What do we get out of it? We don't get shit.
Some of the restaurants get, like,
a couple big tabs
a year, and that's about it.
I don't think there's any use for that.
What does the United Nations do?
Can you remind me?
Because they're probably bad at whatever they're supposed to do.
It's essentially supposed to stabilize peace across the world.
That was its original.
Well,
they're really not fucking good at that at all.
Like they're the,
they're the worst at that.
Actually.
I think that,
I think that if there was
like a different kind of United Nations
where it was just Putin,
Saddam Hussein,
King Jong Un,
whatever, and George Bush,
that would be more effective than United Nations
at peace in the world.
The sole aim
of the United Nations originally
when it was set out
Because the League of Nations
Collapsed
In the lead up to
World War 2 right
Wasn't there intermediate
Between League of Nations and United Nations
Wasn't there something else in there
No no because we had World War 2
And then I think the United Nations
Was integrated
It would have been probably around about 51, I think.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm hazy on that.
When I was being taught that in school,
I always thought it was dumb.
And now as an adult, I'm like, wow, I was smart when I was like 12.
Because I think, don't you think it's dumb?
Like, I don't get it.
Like, there's been nonstopstop war in the same three places
in the world, and they're just
coming to New York City to do what?
Well, a classic
example of what you're
talking about would be the EU.
So the EU was originally set up
as a trading bloc.
The British people never ever voted to be
in the EU, which was kind of weird
how we had to go through the drama of Brexit.
Isn't it ironic that the one country that probably got the best deal was Switzerland out of all that, right?
Like Switzerland's probably doing the best out of all the EU countries.
And I remember on TV, I think it was Vincente Fox was on the Jon Stewart show, I think,
and he was explaining at how
amazing the idea was for the EU
and how
North America needed an equivalent of that.
And his excuse
was so that
the countries that suck economically
had better access to capital.
So it
seemed like it did nothing for the established
countries except like mix their economy with shitty economies. So he basically wanted the
United States to give Mexico favorable loans so that what? Like, what is Mexico going to do?
I always thought the EU was stupid. I always thought the United Nations was stupid.
They just have meetings.
They don't really do anything.
Like I said, it's like a crypto conference.
They do fuck all.
That's all the EU's done, basically.
So in the EU, all that's really happened, right, of any consequence,
is that the rich countries have subsidized the poor countries.
That's it.
Well, the one thing they did that was really interesting that flew under the radar,
didn't they buy Iceland's banks at one point? Didn't they buy all the banks?
No, no, what we did, so when the financial crisis happened, I mean, you're talking about the EU, you're talking about the countries with money.
Essentially, Britain,
France, and Germany
bailed out everybody else.
And believe it or not, the three
countries that bailed out everybody else actually
went into debt to be able to bail them out.
So we bailed out Spain, we bailed
out Portugal, we bailed out Ireland,
we bailed out Greece, and we bailed out
Poland. What year was the
first one of those do you remember like approximately 2008 right so in 2008 didn't
deutsche bank and and the bank of france get money from the united states wall street bailout
of 2008 didn't they get money to go and do that? Correct. Well, through the IMF, yes.
The IMF.
Another circle jerk.
That's...
IMF is like Ethereum.
They have conferences.
They don't do anything.
I don't believe in all of this.
I think this was all like a...
I think they go to these things.
They do these speeches. No one's really paying attention. believe in all of this i think this was all like a like i think they go to these things they do
these speeches no one's really paying attention and then probably while all these speeches and
meetings and conferences are going on there's like a zillion backroom deals being made by
whatever the entourage is that the leaders bring to these things. Like, while Trump is speaking, you'll have, like, Stephen Miller and whoever else
in a dark alleyway making a deal with, you know,
whoever from the UAE and China and Russia.
They'll be making deals while Trump's up there
talking about fucking a bunch of nonsense.
Did you see his horrendous speech yesterday?
That dude is finished.
They should cap his speeches at eight minutes.
Oh, when he started talking about the autism thing
in the middle of a funeral, you mean?
Oh, my fucking Lord.
Not even that.
It was before.
What was he talking about?
He's like, oh, me and Charlie.
I remember when Charlie, he lived in his parents' basement.
But in a good way.
He wasn't an incel.
He lived in his parents' basement.
And then he would call me and say, President Trump.
And I had to listen to him because he was Charlie.
That was the worst fucking speech.
First of all, no one is going to be able to follow his wife.
Trump should have just made it short, sweet, told the speechwriter,
fuck you, I'm going to do a five-minute, and I'm out,
and then we'll play the song, the YMCA song, and then we'll leave it.
But he went, how long was he talking for?
Because I put it on.
I was like, wow, this is maybe his worst.
I went to the shower.
I came out, he was still talking.
He did ages.
I skipped through loads of it. I bet he did
40 minutes. Brutal.
I mean, Vance did like 20 minutes.
I would
rather hear Elon Musk
talk for five minutes than hear whatever Trump
was doing because that was pretty fucking brutal.
Nobody wants to hear
about
anything political.
You know? And what's funny was I'm watching CNN.
I'm in a hotel, so I have to watch CNN
because the TV turns on to CNN.
So I'm watching CNN.
The wife is talking, and then she's finished.
It goes back to the studio,
and CNN, they didn't have the script yet.
So there was just like a raw reaction from the host. And
I don't recognize any of these people on CNN. And they were just talking about how powerful it was
and how she had, I forget how they described it, something courage and all this stuff. Oh my God,
it was kind of a limited reaction, but at least they were, you know, they called out like her,
her main traits and they gave her some respect and then trump went and as soon
as it was done they all had the script and they were just talking about how bad how negative trump
was and how he's inciting violence from the right and all this stuff so it took them like trump's
speech was so long that the mainstream media was able to concoct the script and roll it out
live on the air because his his speech was so bad i probably rifted for about like 40 odd minutes
i would have preferred dude eight minutes i would have preferred her to go last actually
like after i was just thinking like that was a bad move by him he should have been like
two people before her,
and then they could have someone else,
maybe a comedian in between them,
and then she can go last,
because he was a buzzkill from the first minute.
I was like, man, we can't have 80-year-old people
doing anything important in the country.
We don't even let them drive.
Why the fuck are they flying
around air force one speaking at these events for 40 minutes it doesn't make any sense man
tulsi gabbett was fucking all class like did you say tulsi or not
no i actually forgot that it was yesterday so i i happened to just have the tv on and it was
it was um erica talking but it was i mean i caught most of hers i
think um she was good like she was she was um she was using her script um it took like all of her
effort to follow follow it and it was like super successful and you could hear a pin drop in that place everybody was
following her every syllable and then trump went and it's like oh my fucking lord like what is this
jd vance must have just been like like shaking his head like now i'll never be president
so did you see the uh the numbers of uh who's going to be the Democratic nominee for president?
Yeah.
Newsom is like...
It's Angel Rees and some trans dude, right?
No, no.
Newsom's well in the lead.
So the prediction markets have got Newsom at about 35% right now. How is Newsom any different than, like, Mayor Adams pre-becoming independent?
Like, why is Newsom, like, the consensus favorite for anything?
Like, what's happening there?
I don't get it.
He swears and he's trying to be street.
Do you know that the DNCs, like, they issued a communique last week
where they've, like, banned the use
of all of these ridiculous words, you know,
like, words like, uh, birth and person
and, you know, all of the vocab
that they've been using over the last few years,
all of the fucking, you know what I'm talking about?
You know what, though? As a teacher,
we banned that ten years ago, so California's
way behind us in New York City.
Oh, the DNC, dude.
The Democratic National Committee,
they've banned all of these fucking
retarded fucking words
like gender fluid, blah, blah, blah.
Oh, that. I did see that.
Isn't it funny that they have to
tell people that, hey,
these words are not really hitting the mark
like we thought they were
when we tested them out on a college campus once for five minutes.
Like, I don't know, man.
I don't understand how people go along with that.
They might as well just keep using them because the same people that went along with those words are still going to vote for them even when they completely pivot and try something else.
Like, it was like defund the police.
And then it was like, hey, you shouldn't do that.
A bunch of Congress people lost their seats because we were defunding the police.
That wasn't very popular.
And then they figured out a different way to defund the police, but they don't say it.
They'll just figure out a new way to get trans people into kindergarten classrooms without using the word, you know, trans or birthing.
They'll just figure out a new way.
Mate, did you see what they did to Bernie and EOC or not?
So, you know, Bernie and EOC were flying around on private jets doing the oligarchy tour.
So the DNCs pulled them, right, because they were obviously using the funds and that, you
know, they used like a million dollars nearly on the private flights.
The DNC pulled them aside and said, most Americans are that dumb that they don't know and that you know he was like a million dollars nearly uh on the private flights the dnc pulled
them aside and said most americans are that dumb that they don't know what the word oligarchy means
you need to stop the news that's exactly right nobody nobody knows what it means
but here's the other thing like like regular people like me who like don't really know much
of anything and we're like half educated and we couldn't find like
five different countries on a map we realized that every single buzzword that the left has
rolled out to slander the opposition even like the independents they themselves were guilty of like five years prior. Like it's like between oligarchy and
Russian collusion and threat to democracy and constitutional crisis. They, they didn't make
up those words. They did those things. And then they were like, let's call it something. And
then we'll just say the Republicans are guilty of it. It's like, it's just not working anymore.
It just, it doesn't work at all. Like They're going to start, they're going to push
really hard the next probably
year into the next midterms
to try to convince America
that the right is equally
responsible for violence as the left.
And they will fail miserably at
that.
And then there's
going to have to just be like another
thing to talk about.
They're not good at
this anymore, this game.
Oh, they've lost.
The DNC's
lost the people, man.
They've taught...
They shouldn't even...
They shouldn't even run...
They shouldn't run a candidate.
They shouldn't even bother to run a presidential candidate in 2028.
They should just focus on Congress.
They should just be like, we can't be president.
Do you think 2020, well, of course, Congress taking the House is the most important thing.
Absolutely.
The country just historically runs better and the economy runs way hotter when you have a Republican White House and then a
Democrat Congress. And I don't even care about the Senate. The Senate, I don't know what the
Senate does, to be honest with you. They don't do anything. They just rubber stamp some shit that
Congress does. But I think that's the best way. And then they have a handshake agreement to maybe not add seven people to the Supreme Court while they're in the White House. I think that's the best way.
I don't think they'll take the House.
no but here's the thing like they still haven't gotten rid of mail-in ballots they still have no
way to audit elections it'll be close that the the democrats might gain some seats but
i i don't know i don't know i think that they spend twice as much as the opposition and they
can barely barely win seats they have to do more than then change their vocabulary
well it's the redistricting that's gonna make the house this time so you know they've just
done the five seats down in Texas yeah we then knew some signs of Bill in the law for their
redistricting thing they're voting on that in in November. So the House is an interesting one
because that's ground zero for the battle moving forward.
Like, you know, you ought to order the new census.
I'm going to hear the word fucking gerrymandering
250,000 times in the next year.
And I don't, that's the dumbest,
it's the stupidest thing possible to argue about because less people know what gerrymandering is than know what oligarchy is.
And they're going to say that word over and over and over again.
And then people will just pretend they know what it is.
And then they'll be like, Trump's gerrymandering.
We're going to vote for Newsom and his fucking, his coked out fucking white collar shirt
that he's never buttoned to the top.
That guy literally looks
like every coke head I've ever seen
at bars that I've worked at.
Dude, they were all fucking coke heads, man.
All of the...
Unbelievable.
The New World Order, fucking
the World Economic Forum, forum young leaders trudeau
fucking uh jacinda uh allen down in new zealand just sorry jacinda ardern uh christy christia
freeland the fucking finance wife she can't even keep still her man zelensky's another one i saw
maloney didn't look too good in a couple videos
that circulated. She was fucking messed up bad.
Wasn't she?
Oh, did you see her? She looked like she was
off her face.
She looked like
it was like her first time ever doing it
did way more than her
friend told her she should try.
Like the friend was like,
all right, this is how much Zelensky does.
So you should just do this little bit.
And she's like, no, no, I want the Zelensky one.
And she just did the whole thing.
That's what happened.
Dude, people don't realize, right,
just how prevalent Cork is
because it's the one thing that rich successful people apart from sniffing on camera
It's the one thing that like rich successful people can do that doesn't like mess up their life
Like any star that starts doing like fucking meth or crack or whatever heroin
It fucks them up big time, it wrecks their lives right wrecks
their fucking fortunes reputations everything they get for a little a little while like if you're
like marginally good looking that actually makes you look a little bit better in the beginning too
so it's not like heroin where you gain like 30 pounds right away so i get that they do it and stuff but it's pretty obvious it's a
functioning thing it's a functioning thing that too it's it's definitely a functioning thing it's um
what i think is crazy i said this to my friend the other today actually i'm in tampa visiting
my friend and he he's like a Wall Street guy, lives in Florida now.
I said, I think that they hate Trump because he's able to do all these things drug-free.
And they're just jealous that he doesn't need to do drugs.
Like, no alcohol, no drugs.
Dude doesn't sleep at all.
Fires off, like, fucking 400 tweets a day on multiple platforms.
He's literally drug-free in baseball in baseball terms like he's like still I would say like Ken Griffey Jr. is the
best drug-free baseball player of the last like 50 years that's Trump and then everyone else is
like the ones that cheated they use drugs dude he's just getting and fucking wrecked on McDonald's
him any he gets his energy from his McDonald's that's i think that's amazing that people like him and like warren buffett they've
built up a tolerance to mcdonald's over like 75 years of eating that shit and um if like you're
born in like 1980 and then you or like let's say you're born in like 1995 and you don't eat
mcdonald's until like 2005 that shit will kill you 1995 and you don't eat mcdonald's until like 2005 that
shit will kill you but if you've started eating mcdonald's in like the 60s and you you like
micro dose mcdonald's your whole life you're you're it makes you more powerful it doesn't
with you like it like it does everyone else you're making me laugh right because i'm not old i
remember i had me first mcdonald's first McDonald's. I used to go to McDonald's
and put salt on the french fries
when I was a kid.
I had my first McDonald's
in 1984.
I remember I had a fillet of fish.
That's probably around the time I had them.
Do you remember the...
I remember when I was in 7th, 8th grade,
maybe 9th grade, they had the Arch Deluxe and uh there was a mcdonald's about i don't know maybe like two miles from my
school and we were allowed to leave the school to go eat lunch if we had like a note from our parents
so once like a couple of our friends had driver's licenses so yeah i was probably like in like ninth
tenth grade we would drive to mcdonald's during lunch
and the uh the arch deluxe meal was like four dollars and like 30 cents or something like that
which was like double the price of the school lunch but we would like save up and get that like once a week mate we didn't even have a mcdonald's in our city you know so some of them
was a decent sized city if i wanted a mcdonTown, in the early days, we had to drive
to the fucking metro center in Gateshead
like fucking miles and miles away just
to go to MacTown.
Where I live, I don't know if you could picture
this, but, you know,
New York City has the five boroughs.
I live in a county
adjacent to New York City
where it's
separate from New York City, but has all of the conveniences
with almost none of the downside of New York City. It's expensive to live there,
but the taxes are spent locally. So we happen to have like the best schools in like the country
here, but we have every possible convenience of living in new york city
other than you might have to go to the city to like see a show or a sporting event but
every the proximity factor is unreal where where i grew up
are you are you in one of the boroughs officially or not no i work in one of the boroughs officially or not? No, I work in one of the boroughs, but I live outside.
I live outside New York City.
It takes me like maybe 20 minutes by train to get to – not subway.
We don't have subways where I live.
We have the regular railroad.
And it feeds – like most of like the Wall Street workers take that in.
Like they don't all live in New York City. A lot of them...
How do the boroughs
actually work?
Is it like London with
the boroughs where they've got their own individual
borough councils or what?
Yes, they have their own
councils and
I forget what they call it.
Everything though is super centralized under the mayor's office
so like the mayor is technically my boss but he's also the police department's boss and like the
fire department's boss like he's he everything's consolidated under the, the mayor of New York city might be a more prestigious position than like governor of New York state because of that.
They control, the mayor's office controls everything that matters.
Yeah.
I'll tell you what, it's always been like, I've read some books.
I mean, I read Gangs of New York back in the day but uh like new york's always been like the
center of corruption in the us like it's it's been corrupt from day one and you're never gonna
change like city hall and that i like if you go back to the days of like tammany hall and that
like how corrupt like the single most corrupt place on earth probably like and that's the end something when I live in Thailand didn't it yeah Thailand where they're like
throwing Burmese people off boats because they didn't learn how to speak
English in two weeks oh I mean it's mad out here yeah right writers or the AP
just did expose here and the fucking government and the immigration are
kicking right off about it here they didn't expose here and the government and the immigration are kicking right off about it
here uh they didn't expose here that some dude coming from africa got trafficked into one of
these uh call centers you know the scam call centers that they've got going on around the
borders like this whole story just stinks i'm just like this is i'm calling on this but uh
it was either writers of the ap published the story the
other day and then the head of immigration came out yesterday going mental at them
foreman for besperging besperging the name of thailand they're not happy about it at all like
i mean let's be honest though we are the center of human trafficking in asia
we're the center of everything in asia r We are the center of human trafficking in Asia. We're the center of everything in Asia, Russ.
We're the center of human trafficking. We're the center of fucking drug trafficking here.
We're the center of illegal wildlife trafficking.
Like everybody in Thailand is like the centrifugal point of every fucking bad shit that goes on out here.
I thought it was weird when I was there where there would be signs with a phone number on it.
It would say, if you see a German man with an Asian boy, call this number.
I saw a few of those signs.
I think it was in Samui where I was at.
Is it Germans that are causing all the problems there or is it just
like everyone oh that's everybody i mean the brits are really bad out here uh four brits the other
day i just robbed uh uh an american lawyer who lives in switzerland of his uh ap watch 72 000
watch he was riding on his bike going home he was only here on holiday
he's been here like loads and loads of times he comes over all the time he was riding home in the
rain on his bike and the road into the back of them knocked him off his motorbike and then the
four brits jumped out bashed them all over the place guns and knives and that they had armed
robbery robbed his ap watch and then bailed it and then they got caught within like a couple of hours idiots but we've got a big problem
here with Brits loads of British criminals are on the run here loads of them and they
like they've got your businesses and like real estate businesses and all sorts of stuff
but the everybody knows the crims it's just appear like the payoffs like here if you've got
the money you can pay off anybody anybody's taking a foot and bribe but we've got the brits we've got
the russians the russians are really really bad especially down in phuket so we've got like a ex
russian mafia and all that running out of phuket uh the germans the the germans get up there all sorts dude the other
day man i opened the news yesterday this is what thailand does to people right it ruins good people
yeah uh a dutch guy moved here six years ago he moved out here to retire right he got married
and he opened a restaurant with his missus up in uh concan and he plowed 10 million
bart into the business the business has really been struggling like really bad they're running
out of money so the wife's on his case all the time you're not going to believe what he did
on sunday night the mad he told the wife he was going to see his friend in non-kai the next province upright he went out in his van wrapped a chain around a fucking atm machine and fucking drove off with
the atm machine dragging behind his truck dude he's in so much trouble he's looking at between
uh because he used a vehicle as well he's looking between like a 10 and a half and 15 years in jail
oh it's like thailand ruins people man absolutely ruins their lives man it's terrible like if you
let it happen to you here i've seen so many good people come here and and just just gets on top of
them they're just kind of caught up they end up fucking up, bro.
What do you think it is?
Like, I would never go to another country and feel like
I could just blend
in and get away with a whole bunch of shit.
I would always think that
I'm the easiest to recognize in a
lineup, like in the whole damn place.
it's weird.
Me too, mate. I stick out like a sore thumb i'm like six foot
fucking three and a half fucking white as a ghost like i'm the most easy recognizable person in
thailand like yeah i mean i i remember going to going to vietnam and then I went back almost a year later.
I was there for a week, then I went back 10 months later,
and people recognized me from the fucking year before.
I was like, I couldn't get away with shit here.
I didn't like Vietnam, me like Joe.
I liked Vietnam, right? The place where I didn't like vietnam me like joe like i liked vietnam right the place where i didn't like
the people at all like not whatsoever i mean i didn't really like cambodia that much like leo
leo the most nicest people you'll ever meet in the world kindest most sincere genuine people who've
got all but they'll share their last with you like the low people are absolutely
beautiful but the vietnamese holy angry them like i got a knife pulled on me enough three
times in six weeks in vietnam by this by the same girl or no i got robbed off the beshack drivers
you know them drivers on the bikes with the little thing behind them i should have known from one of those too but i i had it coming to me i was uh yeah i got robbed
by one of those in vietnam you learn you only carry like twenty dollars on you you don't go
out like like not even like like five dollars maybe ten on a good night. But I remember where I was, where I was at a beer.
I want to say a beer was like maybe 60 cents.
And I don't even think.
Well,
I don't know when you were there.
I was there in 2000 and year 2009.
And it was like 30 cents.
I was there.
I was there in 2000,
2008 and 2009. I was there in 2008 and 2009.
I was there.
No, I'm sorry.
At the beginning of 2010, I was there for like three months.
And I remember a place where I went where it was like 50 cents for a mojito.
And every mojito you bought, they gave you like two free beers.
I think it was called Dragon Bar.
So Dragon Bar?
But I can't remember where it was in Vietnam.
I don't know if it was in Ho Chi Minh or one of the other places I was going to,
like on the coast.
I don't remember.
But anyway, yeah.
You went to what they call, I don't know, you went You went to what they call Beer Hoy. So the places that you're
talking about, right, it's just like a little shop
or whatever, but they serve beer in them glasses, right?
I think it was
on the coast
Natrang, and it was like a resort
that had an
outdoor little bar.
So they were serving the mixed
drinks, which is... i don't think that's
actually common in south east i think you you're expected to buy beers or you're expected to buy
a bottle of rum or something like that i don't remember too many places where they were like
pushing cocktails to the customer so i think it was a resort with a bar. And what I remember about it was, yeah, you order the mojito, they give you two beers. And I remember the bartender,
this guy, he's probably like 20 years old, Vietnamese guy. He had six fingers,
like he had extra digit. And I remember like my third mojito and I'm like, dude, this is so fucked.
What is going on tonight?
And I went there a few times.
But yeah, it's a pretty good few times.
Do you know Natrang's the biggest center?
It's literally the peak or center, the epicenter for bag snatching.
I had no idea. I think that was
my favorite place that I've been to in Southeast
Asia, was Natrang.
Oh, that's lovely.
Did you not get up to Dalat in the mountains
or anything, no? I went
to...
Dalat was in the Central Highlands?
Where they do... where they make the wine?
Where they do all the wine and that, yeah?
And the flowers
yes correct yeah i i think i was there i was in the central highlands i don't remember where i was
but i i remember like the weather was nice and cool and they were they were exporting flowers and
um it wasn't like the rest of the places i've been because everything kind of closed early and
um it wasn't like the rest of the places i've been because everything kind of closed early and
yeah i was only there for a few days i don't even remember i did that whole coastline you know
i did the whole coastline from crossing the border uh from cambodia next to pook
up to hochi oh i crossed the border from cambodia and that in vietnam right on the coastal border
i went to pook for a bit i went up to uh ho chi minh and then i went up at the lat and then i hit the trang which is like the first main coastal town and then i did the entire coast all the way
up to like halong b and then supper i did the lot i had a friend a friend who did that on a bike, on a motorbike.
Him and his, I think him and his girlfriend, or him and, I forget.
But he did the whole coast, Ho Chi Minh,
to like the central coast area where they make the custom clothing.
It's like a famous place.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, so they make custom shoes
and suits and stuff and then he kept going and he ended up in hanoi but i don't know how he got back
i think he just sold his bike and flew home because it was a vacation he didn't live there
i don't know what the fuck he did people just abandoned because the bikes are that cheap
abandoned the bikes have you seen the
dude have you seen the top gear have you seen top gear or not where they did vietnam on bikes
no oh mate you've got to watch it's one of the funniest top gears i've ever seen in my life right especially when clerks and crashes at the end so what happens is they get dropped off in
hochi or saigon i call it saigon me still they got dropped off in saigon right and you know the dudes on top gear with
the white coats where they come out and they give them the instructions and yeah
the the dudes come out with three shoe boxes and so they open up the shoe box and it's obviously
it's the vietnamese dong right and the shoebox is stacked with money
and they think they're going to be able to go and get a car and they didn't know about their the
import tax on the car and why everything's like basically transported on bike right so they'll go
they won't go to buy a car and they're like what how much yeah and then they realize that they've
got no choice but to buy bikes mate it's a
like it's like two hours or something and it's two hours of ultimate hilarity you'll never laugh as
much it's it's easily me i never i never wrote well i rode one of those bikes once and i fell
off and i never tried to ride them again so i was happy to pay the people to drive me around I was I can't remember where I was wherever
I fell off the bike I was I was really scared to bring it back because I thought you know when you
rent those bikes they take your passport um I think I was I think I was in Thailand when I fell
I think I was in um uh Koh Tao when I fell and um i was bleeding like my hands were bleeding and i bring the bike back
with blood on my hands and they just took it back and gave me my passport i thought i was
going to lose my past i thought they were going to make me pay hundreds of dollars for the damage
and they didn't give a shit dude you're lucky you're lucky as well really lucky and i'll tell you why
it's because koh tao is the one of the most dangerous places in thailand right yeah i know
it's called it's nicknamed death island man you know what's crazy when i was there i stayed nine
days in a little a little like cabin like kind of far off the road like i was
and like the closest cabin to me was probably like i don't know 25 meters something like that
away like it was just these little cabins near the beach and i i stayed there for nine fucking
days i could have got murdered any night they would have never found me do you know do you
know that like 27 people have died in the last 12
years there?
That's not bad though.
I feel like
New York City has a...
It's tiny. There's more
fucking foreign... If you look at it,
per people, it's there. It's like the highest
death rate in fucking Thailand in regards to
foreigners.
What do you think? is it because the people going there are kind of
fucked up and they're in they're mixing themselves up yeah mafia ran so
courtel was originally like the land was like claimed by the lc gypsies right years and years
decades and decades ago and the and the fishermen and they
became mafia families and one particular mafia family have like grown and grown and grown and
own like the vast majority of the island these bars and resorts like the whole thing is and the
police don't really get involved you know the whole thing is like one big gigantic mafia family and if you piss them off you die but the thing is mate a dude was found hanging with his hand a frenchman
he was found hanging with his hands tied behind his back stabbed in the chest and the ruled a
suicide his hands were tied behind his back with an electrical cord and he was stabbed in the chest and they called a suicide.
Well, I mean...
I was totally unaware of that when I went there.
You're lucky.
You would have been paranoid to fuck, Joe.
You'd have been paranoid to death.
I would have not gone.
I would have stayed in Bangkok or something.
When I was in Samui, I was with one of my friends who used to live there. He, he, uh, he worked in a, in a restaurant, a South African
owned restaurant. And he said that there was like a mafia guy that would bring employees to the
restaurant from Burma. And then, you know,
their families, I guess,
would pay. They would bring them over
for like 30 days. And they had
30 days to like figure
shit out. Otherwise, they would get sent back.
And then the families
would lose their money or something.
What the fuck is the restaurant?
I want to get you the name of the restaurant.
It was a barbecue restaurant where they would roast entire pigs outside.
Oh, I love that shit, me.
The full pig on the spit.
Pig on the spit's insane.
We went off.
He's with an American up in Lau, pig on the spit.
So it was $75.
It was Shawang Beach. I just looked shawang beach he said it was called pickles but i don't remember that being the name on course i'm a way yeah
yeah shawang beach yeah they're the two beach resorts uh shawang and lamai next to each other
right i hate that fucking drive.
That's an awful drive in Thailand.
I don't remember where I stayed.
I must have stayed in Shuang Beach.
That's where they drive around in the car
with the megaphone trying to promote
the fucking Muay Thai fights.
Best fighter on the island!
That one you mean.
The best of the best.
Champion of the world.
It's the same guy that...
Dude, you can't be on an island, right,
without them fucking getting blasted all over,
whether you're on Koh Phangan, Phuket,
Koh Chang.
The best of the best.
And the blare the music,
and the dudes are up doing the moves,
you know, the moves to the music at the beginning
the way they fight in my tie where they're just trying to like
throw their elbows around it looks like they're like
they're tied up in invisible rope and they're trying to get free
well it's uh it's called the sport of uh or the technique of eight limbs isn't it that's
what muay thai is known as the sport of eight limbs do you know what i mean with your elbows
and your knees yeah i don't buy it i think it's i think it's all fake it's it's like
wwe it's scripted all those fights they're just trying to sucker in the uh well do you
know you're not the national sport do you're not actually the national sport
yeah i don't care those people uh they're not that athletic over there so they can't play
regular sports they just fight so there's only two there's only two countries that's got a fighting sport or a martial art as their national...
What?
Do Korea have taekwondo as their national sport?
Do they?
Yeah.
You never spell best of the best, man.
It's about Korea.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And how about the life for taekwondo over there?
But I didn't know it was the declared national sport of Korea.
All right.
Okay.
It's either that or soccer
because soccer was huge there.
I know baseball's big there,
but I don't think they really play anything else.
I think it's just soccer, baseball,
and then taekwondo.
No, baseball's big in Japan,
so baseball's a national sport in Japan.
It's massive in Japan.
They're obsessed with baseball in Japan,
obsessed with it, because of the post-world war ii crack that's all they got fucking baseball baseball baseball they're
obsessed with it you know um in south america the country that's supplying the major leagues with a
lot of like premium players is um venezuela venezuela is a huge baseball country
is it never knew that like yeah dude they got they have so many good players from venezuela
the last like 15 or 20 years they did they're so every three years they do a world baseball
classic where every player represents their own country. And usually like Venezuela,
Japan and the Dominican Republic are like the three best teams.
Sorry,
maybe Mike's getting stuck.
Did you see the,
did you see Trump blew up the other board the other day or not?
He what?
Trump blew up another boat the other day coming out of Venezuela.
Oh, I mean, there's no way for them to prove, like, I don't know why they're doing that,
knowing that people are just going to be.
No, no.
Wait a minute.
The Dominican Republic, right?
The Dominican Republic Coast Guard picked up like 387 fucking blocks.
Like, they grabbed all the gear.
It was just floating around.
They went out and scooped it all up.
You know what's funny, though?
He's blowing up these boats that have all the drugs.
Some of those drugs probably belong to, like, various Congress members.
Like, don't you think that the Congress people are, like,
assisting with the importation of illicit substances and weapons?
Do you not mean the CIA?
Is that who you were talking about?
What?
The CIA?
The CIA run the biggest human smuggling
traffic military members in the world.
And Congress has to divert money to the right country
so the CIA can operate.
So I'm saying Congress
knows something about those boats.
There's probably like five or six members of Congress
that had a stake in that shipment.
Dude, dude, man.
The CIA's got more liquid cash than Apple.
The CIA's got a black account,
what they could call a black account.
It's got upwards of $65 billion in it.
It's well known that the CIA has been able to fund their own for a long time even without the usaid
they're probably the only government agency that has uh cash flow positive
yeah well they had to go dark you see it was all legit before the uh before the church commissions so the church commissions in
the 70s changed everything right before before reagan got in and they had to go basically dark
before then it was all open it was all everybody knew what the cia was doing the government was
doing all those sponsored assassinations in South America and all of the fucking...
Have you read...
Do you read Annie Jacobson or not?
You know, she did like Operation Paperclip and that.
Have you read Annie Jacobson before?
The last interesting thing I read along those lines was Charlie Wilson's War,
and I don't even remember if I finished the whole book.
I'll tell you what, that's a great movie.
What a movie that is.
I never saw the movie.
That's the one with Emilio Estevez.
No, it's John Goodman and Tom Hanks.
I thought it was Emilio Estevez and Ethan Hawke.
No, he plays Senator Wilson.
Sorry, is it Senator or Representative?
It might be Representative Wilson.
He was a rep.
He was a rep, and I remember reading in the book,
a lot of his connections started because he was on the committee for the Kennedy Center.
You know the Kennedy Center when they honor the artists?
And those tickets were such a hot commodity.
He was able to leverage them into meetings and things.
In the movie, it's Julia Roberts that gets him into it, right?
Julia Roberts is in that movie as well, yeah?
She plays the woman.
And Burt Reynolds.
Burt Reynolds, Mark Wahlberg, and Heather Graham, right?
In Charlie Wilson's what?
Yeah.
No, it's a book.
Tom Anke.
Oh, you couldn't.
Tom Anke.
I'm Julia Roberts.
I'm trying to name.
I'm naming the cast for Boogie Nights.
In the movie, though though she takes him to Afghanistan
to see the kids where they get missing hands
and all that
like what the Russians were doing to the Afghan kids
and then like she breaks his heart and then he comes
back and he fights to get the money
but he has to go through all of this dodgy thing
and he's working with John
shit it's not John Goodman
it's the other dude with the tash
I'll go and remember his name
in a minute i think john goodman's in it though but charlie wilson was like a super high functioning
alcoholic it seems oh he was a druggie as well wasn't he because he was on the yeah i think
but i think his big thing was he was he was drinking from the time he woke up
and he was like highly functional on on the booze correct he was from texas right
he was a texas so he was from yeah yeah in the movie he's just like he's interviewing people in
these uh office in congress and this dude this get rich dude comes in and he just get putty like the
charlie wilson just puts his cowboy boots he slaps them on the table like and the dude's like looking
at him like what the he's getting wearing a suit with cowboy boots, he slaps them on the table, and the dude's looking at him like, what the fuck?
He's wearing a suit with cowboy boots.
I'll tell you what, I might go back and watch that movie.
It's that good.
It's out fucking standing that movie.
Really good.
I never saw it. I remember reading the book, and I was getting a kick out of it,
because I'm like, this is exactly how I imagine all this happening.
There's just some half-wit like charismatic retard that has a congressional
seat for two years and he's literally able to divert money into like the armpit of planet earth
for weapons and violence like this is exactly how it works i knew it well it was just another front
that was what what they did was just another front
and like the cia uh providing like the stinger missiles to the afghanis to take down the
helicopters because the helicopters is what like was stopping the taliban or the afghan freedom
fighters at the time the helicopters is what was killing them all and stopping them all they had
to remove the helicopters so it was just an extension it was a proxy for the cia
for america because of the cold war going on i mean this was height of the cold war late 70s
height and what's amazing what's amazing is that i think they say repeatedly in the book
that nobody else cared at all one way or the other for that cause so he had like pretty much total authority to influence that any way that he saw fit and i
remember reading he was he was kind of emotional about it like it wasn't done purely out of like
typical no no she takes him she takes him to the refugee camp the afghan refugee camp and he sees
all the kids like we're missing hands
and missing eyes and missing legs and all that like and the kids in it all of it like they're
all like loving them they're all excited to meet them and it like breaks his heart
and then he's got to go and take he takes like uh senators and that there for the uh like the
appropriation committee so he takes like some he gets on their case in the movie and he bathers
them into like companies like just come and see it come and see it and then he takes him and the
dude starts like like the senator dude the head of the committee like he sees it all and he just
starts walking crying and he's like right what do you need like they went from like five million
like the struggle to get five million at the beginning end up getting like 500 million and that was back like in the late 70s early 80s i remember that war brought down the soviet union
you know yes that was that war gutted them i one of the things i remember reading in that book
was how they said that the um you know the russians just kind of rolled into afghanistan and
they had their tanks and everything but they they took a position like kind of in the middle of kabul i think where they built like a
fort and the soldiers were scared shitless to leave the fort after like after sunset and um
the muslim men would sit on top of the rooftops and chant all night in the dark.
And the Russian soldiers were scared.
And then a couple times, Russian soldiers who did wander off the base got captured by Afghanis,
got their arms and legs cut off.
They would stuff them into the backpacks and drop them off at the front gate of the uh of the uh
the fort or whatever you want to call it the military base
well radical radical muslims have always done that sort of shit dude they should have learned
from the british so for two for two thousand years people have been trying to invade afghanistan
right you do know this right yeah i mean russia did it way
for 2000 years people have tried to invade afghanistan and it's physically impossible
because of the topography you you can't like the the butchered the british at the khyber pass
they kicked the british out uh around about 1860 it when the civil war was going on i think around about 1860 1865 the butcher the
british there was a massacre you cannot you cannot rule afghanistan it's impossible the terrain just
doesn't allow it i was watching uh shrek john mcfee talking about like the the topography and
like dealing with the terrain and he's just like comparing it to iraq and was just like, man, you wouldn't believe like how fucking different it is.
Cause he was doing all the solo missions into Bora Bora and shit. Right.
It's, it's just ridiculous, mate. You can't do it.
Even in the Korean war, a lot of,
a lot of people died in the Korean war just because the terrain was so rugged.
the terrain was so rugged they couldn't get supplies in the winter um
They couldn't get supplies in the winter.
to where they needed to be and people would just freeze and they have they have unbelievably harsh
winters as well korea unbelievably harsh dry when i was there in the winter and it was so dry first of all it doesn't snow but it gets really cold it's too dry
to snow your lips your knuckles everything would be bleeding like five minutes walking outside in
that wicked fucking winter that's the one thing i i gotta say it should theoretically be the same
weather as new york but their winters were a freaking oh man the wind was the well-known fact it's a well-known fact
though joe right that they have incredibly hot horrible sticky summers because they have like
shit all the mosquitoes and that and then they have like awful winters there's no there's no
like middle ground do you know what i mean there's's no like stripe in the nice little bottom. And it's like the terrain
doesn't help because like that
mugginess, it lasts
a lot longer than it should because
of the mountains on certain sides
and even if you're by the
coast, it's
not great because then it's just raining more.
Because they have like a, I don't know what to call it,
I don't know if you would call it a semi-tropical
area,
but there's a, the southern part of Korea is,
I guess, similar to like, not like Florida in the United States,
but like they still have seasons,
but it's supposed to be really nice there.
Jeju, Jeju Island, it's like the south tip.
But I'm sure the winters are still bad.
My mate's just been there. He's literally just been there on holiday he's just done a massive tour like uh he he was traveling around there like years and years ago and then he's just finished his degree
and uh because he he's done a degree like much later in life like another degree and uh he was
doing it online and i think i about probably about five years ago
or something he did like a massive jaunt and then when he's finished his degrees just took off he's
just done like sri lanka uh korea but he was down there i was on the island like look lovely mine
look really nice yeah i never went i've been to a lot of places over there but that's one place I regret I did
you go to Japan when you all did you go to Japan cuz you worked in Korea right yeah I went to
Nagoya did you I don't know why you know I've got no I've got no fancy for korea or japan i don't know like i could easily go i mean i couldn't
wait to get to china like i could easily jump on a plane and go to korea or japan for a holiday but
something inside of me just tells me i've got no interest i would i would live in korea if my wife
would agree to it i i'm not saying i would denounce my u.s citizenship but i would i would
go back in a heartbeat.
I don't know what I was thinking leaving there.
Really?
You're serious, yeah?
Yeah, I loved it there.
Everyone was nice to me.
They treated me just enough like an idiot
so that no one asked me for anything,
but I was still friendly with my coworkers and stuff.
They were always trying to learn English to talk to me they were trying to help me speak korean yeah and everywhere
we would go as long as you don't act like a drunk idiot people are pretty nice i don't know what it
is about me but you're gonna laugh here but i go places right and within a couple of days i'm like oh get me back to thailand
like even when i went back to england though like after about four days in england because
obviously they had the build up of the wedding as soon as the wedding was over and it was like
the sunday and i woke up with a raging hangover and that right someone had just been beat seven
nil of arsenal the day before as well and i was like i just looked at
the place and that was like look at the state of all of these and i was like get me on a plane
i did a i did 10 days 10 and a half days back in england and i was crying for me
pool crying for me motorbike crying for me condor you know what i mean crying for me view
for me condor you know what i mean crying for me view i went to the this is a classic one i went
to palawan uh from 2017. i went to philippines ah yeah i went to palawan with el nido and it's
beautiful it's beautiful but the food unless you have like a seafood barbecue on the beach right
generally the food in the philippines i don't know how anyone from outside the Philippines goes there and eats the food.
When I was there for like three weeks, I think I just ate pizza every day because I did not want to eat their food.
It's poor man's food, isn't it?
The pizza actually wasn't bad.
I thought the pizza in Thailand was just as good like some of the best pizza in new york because
they use the wood ovens and i guess their dough is like really whatever they do in that dough it
comes out like really good but philippines not awful pizza where i was in boracay so it's like
pretty touristy so maybe maybe it was like an american owned restaurant but man nothing there
was good except like the coffee was really good i
remember the coffee being like amazing shithole it's a shithole all right well thanks that was
my first vacation when i lived in korea so you know they've just had to do emergency operations
and everything in boracay because of the all the litter of the rubbish and everything and all the gone in the sea and the sewage and everything oh it's that bad oh dude they shut down some
beaches and everything in boracar there was it was like ground zero for the cleanup
operations because you know how dirty the philippines is right well i i was only in
manila for like an hour i went to boracay it was kind of undeveloped and uh it was like
let me see it was like 15 17 years ago 2008 was when i was it would have been around it would
have been around 2015 2016 that started the emergency operations to clean it all up like
yeah you want to hear something funny man when i When I was in Boracay, there were actually a lot of Korean people there on vacation.
And the Korean people, they go traveling with huge groups of like 15 in their group.
And they all dress the same when they're on vacation.
And they were getting scuba diving lessons in the pool because they didn't want to go they were
like afraid to go they could i don't think they could swim but they wanted scuba diving lessons
so they were doing it in a pool with an instructor well actually you're laughing but you know when
you first start your paddy do i'm about to jump in the lift so i'm probably going to lose my voice
in a second i'll be straight out though and it'll come back do you know that when you do your paddy you first ever do it in a pool so you you didn't
screw they threw me right into like like six feet of water and before i went in the water
they showed me a picture of what like the five poisonous fish that i have to watch out for
and i was just like i'm quitting after this and i only did one day i'm like i already am afraid
of sharks now i gotta worry about these fucking five poisonous fish so i i just i gave up i i
quit after one day
where are you going, Joe?
I'm in Florida right now, dude.
I'm hanging out in Tampa.
You're in Florida and you didn't look me up?
I just got here yesterday.
I got some business to attend, but you're not anywhere near here, right?
Nah, nah, nah.
I'm down near Kennedy Space Center.
But, yeah.
So, you're here for business?
Yeah.
I have a townhouse here that I rent out.
It needs repairs.
And I have to fight the HOa in person because they don't return
my calls anymore because i'm i'm too aggressive on the phone i guess so they're they're it's it's
i have an hoa it's sucks man it's it's uh they suck my why do i keep seeing videos out go slad
why do i keep seeing videos though from america about these hoas where the karen's gone knocking
on the door like telling people to take down flags or your kids are making too much noise on
the drive who the fuck are these people to tell you how to live your fucking life i would i would
kick right off with that shit mate but are you forced into a joke you've got no choice but to
be part of it is that right well i i bought in and like you know when when you buy
in to the place like i bought my place in 2015 or whatever they always say okay there's an hoa
and then here's what the hoa is responsible for and it's usually a pretty good deal because like
when i first moved there the hoa fees were like 190, which is really, I thought it was good. They do the landscaping.
They do the internet, TV. Um, they're responsible for all exterior work, like paint, roofing.
Um, they take care of the pool and they handle like the parking, situation so only people there can park so my guy for 190
a month this is a good deal but it's like doubled since then and or maybe more and now my roof is
leaking and the hoa instead of calling me back they send me emails about uh you know the tenant
has too many flower pots on the fucking front porch. It is pretty shitty.
Hi, Robo, by the way.
So I didn't, I thought you were on a lift.
So, yeah.
Yeah, long time no see.
Joe, yeah, the HOA law is a totally different type of law.
And you know what?
They have lawyers who specialize in HOA law.
They have their bylaws and stuff.
But those HOA councils, it's like they're running on fiefdom or fifth or whatever you call
it fiefdom right and they have their little despots who run their little you're in a totally different
area of law and you're stuck in it it's like this bubble that has its own laws and
yeah i'm i might have to get a lawyer but i also don't want to like i don't want to actually
fight with them because they could they they're allowed to cancel my tenant's lease at any time
like and they don't need a reason to do that so i'm trying to be careful with the situations
because i've already gotten into it with them on the phone so maybe if they meet me they'll realize like oh yeah he's he's just he's not that much of
an just on the phone we actually have something similar here actually thinking about it
but it's a bit different they're called like a juristic the juristic office or the juristic uh
manager or something like that but But they're all fucking grasses.
If they fucking say you're doing anything,
they'll all be fucking on the fucking phone to the plod.
Similar.
Yeah, I mean, it's a bunch of rules that they can't enforce,
and then they selectively enforce them.
I'm sure if I lived there, I would have tension with like 50% of my neighbors
just because the HOA, they just... I don't know what the fuck they do be honest man that they've sent like 10 people to my house to
check on this leaky roof and the roof has been leaking for like two years tenants suffering with
it it caused a bunch of damage inside the house and then they told me oh yeah we fixed the roof
we'll send somebody to fix the inside but they going to send you a bill because you're responsible for the interior.
And I was like, no, that's definitely totally wrong. So I hope I don't need a lawyer, but
my insurance company even went there and they're like, we can't cover this. This is not,
your policy doesn't even cover this because it was caused by an exterior issue i'm sure like in a year i'll
still be going back and forth with them that's how slow they are at communicating
we don't really have that in the uh we don't have that in the uk you know
the only thing we have in the uk is like neighborhood watch that's it
yeah we've seen your neighborhood watch that's a little aggressive
yeah we've seen your neighborhood watch that's a little aggressive
you got tommy robinson with you know 500 like british uh guardian angels running down the street
drunk i'll tell you what dude look we're the most calmest normal rational people in the world but if you
fuck with us if you push us and you push us too far fucking good night vienna like we're not scared
of a fight in england like i'll tell you that much we're brought up fighting basically
who would win in the fight like 50 average brits versus 50 average Irishmen?
Like who's got the upper hand?
That's an interesting one.
And it depends because the Irish are kind of separated into two groups,
aren't they?
You've got your Irish and then you've got your Irish travelers.
got your irish and then you got your irish travelers so your pikes uh if it was 50 english
So your pipies.
men fighting boys against 50 irish travelers i think would probably be in a spot of problem
spot to bother but if it was just five sorry 50 average run-of-the-mill irish i reckon would
battle them to be honest with you like john in all honesty got it okay
which ones are the shanty here's the one for you here's the one for you 50 white americans
would get battered off 50 if you didn't have your guns 50 white americans would get battered
or 50 englishmen but 50 black americans would batter the life out of 50 fucking Brits, I'm telling you.
Seriously.
And I'm not being racist, I'm just being really truthful.
It depends what kind of white guys.
Are they like, you know, rednecks who fucking tip cows on Friday night?
Or is it like a bunch of metrosexuals that get their eyebrows waxed and
tuck in their shirt on a saturday like i don't know it depends well i'll let you pick i'll let
you pick because i was talking about fucking like 50 hooligans let's do like 50 hooligans i'll give
25 rednecks 20 metrosexuals, and then like five. Because this
will be statistically
accurate representation.
Five autistic white guys.
So it's like 10%.
Isn't that how
that works? One out of ten has to be autistic?
I learned that in the middle of the
book. What did Trump say thought it was one in 36
what did Trump say
one in every three boys is autistic
what does this
have to do with anything in Arizona
no no
the interesting thing is have you seen about how
the rates are a lot higher in boys than girls
that was crazy I thought that
yeah I mean
well one group has to be higher than the other right so
they're not going to be the same
i actually mean my keeps getting stuck i actually think it's the other way around with cancer
isn't it if i'm writing remembering about that Don't women have a higher rate of cancer than men? At the same
age as men, or just because they don't
die of heart disease first?
What? I never come to that.
I think women live longer, so
maybe they're more likely to have cancer.
Yeah, but they're susceptible.
They're more different types of it as
well. I'm pretty sure that the rates are much higher in women than men like i i learned this from
i joined facebook last week and i found out that women have much higher instances of
having really annoying voices than men
do you know what you've just reminded me of there? Have you seen the video of the dude
who, like he was born with no hearing? And they've got those things where they can get
like people who are deaf, you know, they can put these like implant things in and they
can get them to hear. And the first time he hears his wife's voice, she's like, I'm so
happy! We can do it! And he's like,'m so happy we can do it he's like he's saying
to the doctor what's that and the doctor's like oh it might be like a little bit loud he's like
no her voice and he's like take it out take it out and the dude wants it removed he kind of
stand these woman wife's voice women are clever like that though you know women have got like
different voices though right so
they've got the voice when they want something off you you know that get nice like the minute
you walk in the house you're like what do you want like immediately like when they come out with that
voice you know that they're after something right and then they've got the don't with me voice
which is like just fucking
evil. Like it personifies
like you'll hear in the background, like she's walking
in the room and you hear
dum-dum-da-dum-da-dum
dum-dum-dum
You know what I mean?
You need to watch
there's a comedy special with Patrice O'Neill.
I'll find it and send it to you.
Where he talks about what his girlfriend's voice sounds like when she calls him from another room in the house.
And he imitates her voice.
He's like, honey.
And then he just goes, ugh.
Like that's his response when he hears her voice from another room.
It's so, I think my dad used to do that.
That's why I think it's so funny. That dad used to do that that's why i think it's so
funny that's like my wife when she's uh talking on the phone she'll be like okay and then she'll
put down the phone she'll say she'll say yes non-shon non-shon ja which would be what the
fuck are you doing that's just totally two different people as soon as the door is closed
that's how it works i i used to laugh me head off with my
mother when we were young right because my mother's got this like phone voice right and so me and my
brother will be fighting and she'll be cooking the dinner and she'd be like you two you better
stop or i'll come in there and i'll lump the two of yours and we'll just keep going right
wrestling off the staircase and that right like it's the top rope and then she would run in and
just bash the out of us like not even say anything because we'd already had the warning she'd just
run in start punching us right and she'd be going mental you little and then the phone would ring
and she'd just pick up the phone 0191 520 1134 the robinson household how can I help you and I'll be like
fuck it and I'll just change in gears
change in gears George you know what I mean
that's how you used to
get beat
that
that's actually seems like
it's better than
being told you're going to get beat
and then you don't know when it's coming
oh do you know what the worst one is so sometimes when she was bad because she had a lot of health problems when i was young you know after the car crash do you know the worst one is when your old
man's at work and she just looks at you right just too bad to get up and hit you and she just goes
it's all right sweet your father comes in oh my, my God. I have so many stories. Me and my brother used to share a bedroom when we were like maybe like 8 and 10, 9 and 11, 10 and 12.
We shared a room.
And we would just get in trouble all the time.
I don't even know really what we got in trouble for.
But my mother would, you know, she would hit us and say, go in your room.
And then, like, my dad would get home from work
like hours later and he'd be exhausted from work we would hear him come up the stairs
not open the door and he would just look at us both punished in our beds and he would say
your mother told me i have to hit you both and And that was it. So he would, like, take a shower, eat dinner, and then come back and hit us both.
But he never wanted to do it.
Because he didn't even know what we were talking about.
He gave you advanced warning and then went and got a shower and everything before he gave you.
He would look at it like we did something to him.
He'd be like, your mother said I have to hit you.
Like, he doesn't have the energy to do it. Because my dad would get home from work
when me and my brother would go into bed pretty much.
Like 8 o'clock, let's say.
And then sometimes he would come in with the belt
and then he would just sit on the bed and be like, alright.
Who wants to go first?
And then we would talk about it, and we would stall,
and then he would be like, all right, so what did you do today?
Okay, why are you in trouble?
He's like, well, I'm going to hit you.
And then sometimes he just wouldn't do it,
but he would talk about it for like half an hour.
I think if my father hit me more,
I would be way more straightened out, though women have women have straight uh they they have rage but but men will like come home my
father used to come home eat dinner have the gin and tonic he just drag it out and you're just in
here in your bedroom just just worrying your butt your fingernails and he just they just drag it out
for for effect and then they don't hit you that hard. You know what I mean? I think mothers just beat the shit out of you.
Yeah, my mother caught me a couple times with a fingernail too in the face.
I don't think my dad ever hit me that hard.
Maybe like with a belt, but like over my pants, you know?
But yeah, my mom would just...
I think my mom felt like she had to fight because it was just me just me and my brother my dad would be like gone all day till fucking whenever he would get home from work
at like eight o'clock so like in the summertime it's just like me and my brother fighting in the
house getting in trouble and then my mom just wishing we were in school you know
my father was like that like pretty absent through my childhood like he did air because
he worked obviously in the mines uh he wasn't a miner but he was electrical engineer what he did
he did 707 so he did 12 hour shifts right obviously like a bit of overtime but he did 12
hours 707 and he did two weeks of days and then two weeks of nights and then i heard that he used
to when he used to walk home from the mines he would stop off and he would sing cabaret in the restaurants right now that's tom
jones i'm sorry do you know he didn't even learn to drive until he was about oh hell my dad must
have been about 35 when he learned to drive he used to ride a pedal bike to work and that
man in the piss and rain and everything oh proper hardest all right i mean it wasn't that far but it was
about four or five mile or something to the to the pit uh i had a class trade-off me joe did you
traditionally grow up with like grandparents around in your life or not yeah my grandparents
were young like my grandmother's still alive she's she's uh 89 or something wow yeah mine was pretty old so my my grandma was 36 when she had my mum you
know so it's pretty old yeah but i had a trade i had a trade-off right before dale came along
when dale came along all hell broke loose my brother but for nine and a half years i was a
single kid so when i was young i was a right little cunt and I had like a trade-off My mom used to love to get rid of me, right? So they could go out there like the karaoke nights the quiz night Sunday club fucking session, right?
The Sunday club and I love me grandma
But me grandma would let me get away with murder. I should let me play out in the street like half ten at night
fucking street like half ten at night fucking trees and she'd pack me sandwiches and that man and put me
on the bus to the beach and that and meet me mates and that when i was like fucking six and a half
seven years old and that so i had this mad trade-off where like if i hang around here like
during the holidays and that right the six weeks if i hang around here mom i'm just gonna piss you
off send me to me grands and she used to be like where's your case she couldn't wait to get fucking rid of me and on another hand she knew my grandmother was the worst fucking babysitter
my grandmother was an awful babysitter she she would never tell us to go to bed so like my parents
would be out and when they would come home me and my brother would still be awake like 11 o'clock
at night we're like five years old three years old and my mother
said that one time she said what why why are they still awake and my grandmother told her
they were busy she didn't she didn't give a fuck she i don't know what the hell this lady was
thinking man my but my other grandmother the one that's still alive when we would stay over there
we had like some boundaries but it was um, we had, like, some boundaries.
But it was, like, we had strict, like, this is what time we eat.
This is what time you take a bath.
This is what time you go to bed.
And then we could just play all the other times.
But, yeah, my dad's mother was the worst.
I don't even know how she had kids.
That's how bad of a babysitter she was for us.
Joe, you love this, man.
Me fucking grandma.
So when my grandfather died
my grandma was all alone in the house right and like she was really uncomfortable
and my mom had actually offered that to move in with us and she didn't want to right she wanted
her own house next to the bookies but she looked she was at the bookies every day so i was about
11 and a half when my grandfather died so i moved in with her and i moved in initially just for like
while it was the dark nights and i ended up like staying for years and years until uh
my mom made me go back because i was getting out of control and then that's when i ran away when
my mom took me back home is when i basically ran away right at 14 and a half yeah my grandma when
i was like 11 and a half 12 i used to get cigs off my grandma in the morning
you know on me we're at the school right because the grandma smoked and i was smoking by then
check this door check this out she wouldn't give us a ciggy until i was up until i'd had my cup of
tea like two cups of tea until i'd had my breakfast even if it was just a slice of toast she'd be like
you want a cigarette eat your breakfast i used to be like hanging being on the booze and that the night before and i'd be like grandma
man come on skizzes sigma will you and literally she used to give me 20 pounds to buy me singles
and that back in the day she didn't care man didn't care at all holy hell she was like
yeah my my grandmother my mom's mother was i think she was 40 when I was born. So she was a grandmother at 40.
I had, I had a kid at 43. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. My, um, my dad had me at 43, but didn't have me,
but he became a father at 43. yeah he'd be 100 years old this year
but yeah
I'll be 100 then when my
daughter's your age
pretty much yeah
sorry I don't mean to say it that way
those Italian jeans will carry you through
you know what I gotta say
I got some outliers
in my family like who lived well
into their 90s,
completely healthy and still driving and not living in a nursing home.
No one in my family, only one person in my family has lived in a nursing home.
Do you know why?
Because they were alive when cholesterol was good for you?
Oh, my cholesterol is definitely high.
I'm going to live longer than everyone else.
All the men in my family are on statins,
and I just fucking eat bacon and eggs and steak.
I don't give a shit.
And I tell my doctor.
That's all you need to eat?
What's that?
That's all you need to eat, dude.
Like, literally, people didn't realize
all these studies are coming out now,
that cholesterol's fucking actually good for you.
Yeah, it's definitely not bad for you but you know what i remember when it
changed i remember when i used to work in in the supplement industry in the early 2000s and that
was around the time that lipitor got very popular and what they did was they kind of changed the
guidance around what constitutes high cholesterol. And they made it
so that if you were like a 45-year-old man or 50-year-old man, you were expected to have the
same cholesterol as like a 25-year-old. So then if you, so they said, oh, if your cholesterol is
over 200, you have high cholesterol. But if you're 50 years old your cholesterol is probably should be over 200 you're you're 50 right so
and then Lipitor started getting prescribed just to like every man over like 50 years old
they reckon it's really dangerous for you you know if you so bad this is when this is when the
trouble started with the world right is when we introduce things like margarine instead of fucking butter
so the poor people were getting fucking sick right seed oils instead of like lard like I
grew up not even like seeing a bottle of oil in the house not one bottle of oil in our house right
me grandma only ever used lard used to buy the lard like like in a block like you buy your butter
right everything was cooked and fried in fucking lard the Yorkshire puddings were doing in lard like every fucking thing
And then me mum started getting all these fancy ideas of like oh, let's get a microwave
Oh, let's get food that you put in the oven and reheat
Like let's get margarine because it's fucking cheaper than butter and it goes further
It like and let's get let's use these fucking horrible oils
that's when the fucking health of the world fucking
changed when we started yeah
I mean
I I always
knew like cholesterol like there's
not a direct link between your dietary
cholesterol and like the cholesterol that they
measure when you when you get a blood
panel
some people that are like vegetarian will have higher
cholesterol than than someone like me but but doctors love to prescribe the statins i've got
my doctor's an old man old italian guy and he tests my cholesterol and we don't talk about it
at all but i know that he mentioned the statins once and i was like i'd rather not and he said
okay well have you seen have you seen what's just come out about them so do you know that there's
fucking reports just come out that proper studies about the poison people and the dementia no
oh yeah yeah the link that the link to dementia as well but also basically slow poison people
i think the problem with the statins is that it drains um it depletes coenzyme q10
and you need that for just like cognitive function so over time you're more likely to
die of alzheimer's than than of heart disease and they'll say oh look the statins are working
because he didn't die of a heart attack but if you have if you if you lower your cholesterol
with statins from a certain level to a certain level there's like no almost no statistical
advantage to that and then when your cholesterol gets too low you're at higher risk than someone
with high cholesterol for all these problems yeah there's my father had Parkinson's disease,
and I went to the doctor because he went on a,
like in his 50s, he went on this diet
where he eliminated basically all fat from his diet,
all cholesterol from his diet.
And I asked the doctor, and I said,
do you think there's any correlation
between his diet that he's had for 20 years now
of very little fat
and no cholesterol has any any any effect on and what's happening now and he goes that's a very
good question you know and I think it's just I don't know but I want to go back to just real
quick um Robo's point about just real quick because I was about to say that your grandmother
making you have the the the tea and all that stuff,
she wanted to make sure that you were civilized before you have a cigarette.
I thought that was a funny point.
Be civilized and I'll give you a cigarette.
But anyway, back to diet.
I think it's just there's a new thing happening every year.
Don't have this, don't have that.
Oh, this is okay, that's okay.
I think you just
eat as as robo said lard back in the days that's why people you know live so long and didn't have
the problems they have now i think they're recommending dietary changes to in order to
to prescribe new medicines man i don't know yeah definitely well like the autoimmune diseases don't
come out of nowhere even even i i don't, like, I'm not on any medication for anything, but I
had back spasms for like 10 years and I realized there was like off and on for 10 years.
I realized that they were actually tied to my diet.
So I always got back spasms, but the times when they were like the worst, I figured out
what it was in my diet that was making them worse.
And when I went to my doctor, you know, he was a neurologist, so he's not like, you know,
he's not expert on diet.
And I said, you know, have you ever heard anyone say that their back spasms are worse
when they eat certain things he goes he goes i
have heard that but i don't know enough of the evidence and and you know what the actual
correlation is so after he said that i was like it has to be the diet diet and i was able to uh
figure out like what it was and it definitely makes a huge difference
and it's just certain foods trigger that inflammation and the tension you know I agree
with you and some foods actually really really help like alleviate it as well I mean if I had a
kid if you're fired a kid right uh there's like something I wouldn't be worried about like what
I was feeding the kid but I would I would just not have a microwave's like something i wouldn't be worried about like what i was feeding
the kid but i would i would just not have a microwave in the house i wouldn't have any
food that you put in an oven like oven chips or chicken nuggets or any of that right
like it would be every day it would be like mushrooms onions garlic meat eggs dairy cheese butter like all of the fucking nuts like i stack me i'll just put that
tweet in the nest like every single day you should try to have like onions garlic mushrooms
green yogurt i thought you were gonna say every single day just nuts in your mouth i thought that's
what you're gonna say well i struggle with nuts because i've got no teeth right so nuts are a real problem with me
but i've got a pestle and mortar i've got pestle and mortar so what i do is i get the nuts almonds
on that i put them in the pestle and mortar and i just bash the shit out of them and then i put
the nuts in me greek yogurt with me fruit and that and just bang that down and it's fucking lovely
oh nice you know i either and my kids actually started eating this shit. I'm surprised because when I was a kid, I would never fucking eat trail mix.
Both my kids like trail mix.
What the fuck is that?
I've never even heard of it before.
It'll be like three or four different types of seeds and nuts,
and then they'll put some dried fruit, like raisins in there and stuff,
and it's packaged in single-serving pouches.
So it's just nuts and dried fruit. Sometimes they put otherins in there and stuff. And it's packaged in like single serving pouches. So it's just nuts and dried fruit.
Sometimes they put other stuff in there.
Like, put some
M&Ms in there, you know?
But, um, it's, uh...
I was gonna say, do you want to be kids to eat sweets
or not? Like sugar and that, or do you keep them away
from it? So
we started letting them have juice
so they'll have like uh like a little six ounce
or five ounce juice thing with their school lunch because my little one started going to school too
so they're so bad for you then i mean it depends which one you get but you've got to be extremely
because i know this being out here in thailand with what you've got to be super careful of those juices oh no they do this we get the um the honest ones they have like
they have like half the sugar of like a typical juice they don't have any they have the same
amount of sugar without the added sugar so like i think one of the one of the juice boxes is like
30 calories or something like that maybe no it might be a little more but it's it's not it's not much it's like and the boxes are so small
when i was a kid they were eight ounces i think they're like five ounces now
you've even got to be careful with fruit i don't know if you guys are aware of this but do you know
like fruits being like sort of genetically modified over years right especially in like
the western for the Western world. Yeah.
And they've made fruit, they've made fruit more sweeter.
Do you know this?
More sweeter.
They also, they also are, you know,
they ripen the stuff in the trucks
while it's being transported using nitrogen gas.
I know, like tomatoes.
Correct.
Tomatoes especially.
That's what they do when they fly the mangoes into the UK from Mexico you know our mangoes come from Mexico
yeah that's exactly what they do on the plane bringing them over here dude I'm
telling you is now when I buy fucking fruit in Thailand and especially if I
get it off like the people who've got their own little farms and that and
they're selling it like every day the food fruit here tastes so different to like what i would eat in england
all the food in thailand there's nothing like it anywhere else everything you get is is ridiculous
there mate i got a i went to a new place uh not Friday, but the Friday before.
And I got a chicken lab, right, from the Muslim place next to the mosque.
I'd never been there before.
And it was pretty late.
And I saw it was open.
And I just had two Jimmy Cliffs at the lake.
And I was on the munchies.
And I was like, hey, I'm going to go and get some food.
And I didn't even think about clarifying the spice level.
And they didn't ask.
Normally they'll like, pep me,
and I'd be like, no, half a percent,
you know, like half the spice of what you normally would put in.
They don't blow the foreigners away. A lot of Southeast Asian countries, they'll ask.
They're like, oh, you're white.
Do you want red pepper in your food?
They ask it in a very polite way, though.
She didn't, and you know what labs like to start with i'll tell you what i got this thing one spoonful and i knew i was in dangerous territory literally you know do you know when
you're like it's beautiful it was beautiful law really tasty it was one of the best labs i've had
in a long while but it was just that hot and like you didn't want to leave it
because it's a sign of disrespect right so what i'm doing is i'm just going hell for leather
trying to get this lab in me right thinking i even avoided the sticky rice and he had a little
bit of sticky rice but i'm peeling the cucumber in my mouth to cool it down i was building the mint in
and i'm just shoveling this thing in i got about three quarters of the way through
and i knew i was in trouble bro the next day i was talking to god i was literally begging god
to rescue me i was in absolute agony it was like three times as hot coming out as it went in
times as hot coming out as it went in i was i spent all saturday in the loo absolutely
butchered i had an arse like a japanese flag
i see we got five up here man what's going on i got five on it like rugged all the time i've
been trying for like two weeks to join these nighttime spaces i think it's working oh nice i haven't been on a space in a while spice now i don't i don't get the hot shits and
i'm kind of sad like if i if my chili verde doesn't make me sweat while i'm eating breakfast i'm
pissed it's the thing to do with the chilies out eight or five on it you know when the sun dry the
chilies yeah yeah yeah you what out here man that
they'll do the sun dried chilies in the big fucking baskets outside all day and then when
the fry those bad boys up and it's like getting put then pepper sprayed it's like ammonia
and you're
says one peppercorn but people don't know it like numbs your mouth and
and stuff like kind of like that fun stuff in college it's kind of neat
oh i love that stuff mate i eat loads of chinese food so i'm right into that
that's fucking that's nothing that compared to the shit you get in Thailand I love the chef one pepper yeah yeah I just liked it has
that natural numbing effect to it like it truly is one of the only things that'll numb your mouth
like that and then uh yeah I mean he's he I think Jamaican and Caribbean foods the worst because
they use scorpion and and seven pot peppers and like staples i actually i actually wanted to go there in china uh just one
because it's got like allegedly it's got the best food in china because i found china's food to be
for the chinese food to be horrible in china it's nothing like you kind of get anything that you get
in the west in china that was made by jewish dudes in like san francisco just like the fortune cookie but when you get into like actually chinese food it's like gelatins fats
marrows all sorts of weird but i bet it's it's good kind of like menudo you just don't
got to think about it full of um full of unami as well full unami and they do all of the air fried
buns do you know like the salad power but they like deep fry them like on the morning when
you come out to the hotel and it's breakfast time and everyone's on the way to work and that in
shanghai they've just got these stalls all over that sell like the deep fried breads they're
actually pretty nice i enjoyed them more than i did anything yeah but man gone into a dumpling man
and then i i prefer those uh what are they unguris the little rice triangle things that
are sandwiches those things are dope too oh man i had i went to the mall to get me watches i picked
me watches up on sunday and it's got one of the most famous uh salah pow like the steamed buns
the big white stained buns but they also do the they do the dumplings and i got a six shrimp dumplings wrapped in that yellow skin
me they are absolutely some of the best food i've ever eaten in my life i was munching away on them
you put that brown sauce on them it's like a little bit like soury like black vinegar or something
fucking insane mexican barbecue joint that does fusion and they do tacos but they use the bao dough
the dumpling bao and they make the taco
instead of a tortilla. Holy shit, it's so good.
It's like Korean barbecue
slash Mexican fusion.
Absolutely. There was absolutely
nowhere in China
that served anything like
what you would get either in America
you know your Kung Po chicken and that or what we would get either in America, you know, your Kung Po chicken and that,
or what we would get in the UK.
Because the UK Chinese food and American Chinese food
is proper polar opposites, right?
Yeah, it was literally like, look at the history.
It was invented by like two white dudes.
Oh, mate, you couldn't get any special curry.
You couldn't get any chow mein.
You couldn't get any prawn toast.
I couldn't even get duck with pancakes and hoisin sauce i was like asking them and
they didn't even know like my missus could speak mandarin that's another one she was like you'll
not get that korean pancakes with the kimchi in it holy those things are so good
oh i didn't like korean food i've been to korea town a couple of times and had korean
food and i just didn't fucking like it at all like them ingredients and all that I
yeah man I'll do I live in Florida so like oxtail seven pots to all that shit

worth it I had the big tent so I'm not worried mate what's happening with fucking nfts me and
Joe was just talking about it earlier fucking looks like fucking nfts and I'm doing so well
at the minute right I don't know mine mine are still going all right. I think I'm almost at 90% finally. And then the other ones, I had one whale leave when Shane left Stargaze and someone bought them all. Like it's going up again. I don't know. I'm still building and I have a really cool thing going. I just don't really want to talk about it yet, but it's going to help a lot of, I don don't know a lot of the people here that actually do build in certain ways if they have like do you think dow did you say we dropped
last week or not i did i did i was out of town and thanks for reminding me because every time
you guys drop an album i'm like on the road to new mexico and i don't have i don't I don't travel with crypto I travel with guns
that's some gangster shit right there I don't travel with crypto I travel with guns there's been loads of shit happening with crypto over here like people getting robbed and that
that's when i missed out on
that spice meme coin because i literally i'm not gonna travel with a ledger that
well there's been yeah so what's been happening is is that people have been going like meeting
people to do uh peter piers right and they've been getting like jumped in underground car
parks and that some dude that's got like two they have like you got like the bitcoin atm like the harsh ass percentage if
you're gonna be doing some dumb shit like that dude we're limited to fuck over here man so you
do know about the banking crackdown right across southeast asia have you heard about it or not i
did but i thought it got better i thought they just changed exchanges but i don't know i really don't know how it goes over there i bet it's coming here
too though uh there's been because of the call center scams out here man there's been unbelievable
with like mule accounts uh with crypto transfers with like money laundering listen to this man
84 84 million Vietnamese
woke up the other day and didn't have access
to the bank account. Oh, man.
They almost got me like a month ago.
I woke up and it was like I had
40 emails to just random
30-day payday
loan services and was like,
what the fuck? And it turns out
one of the major three credit bureaus
here in the United States got hacked. i just barely got that letter last week i didn't trust i didn't trust anything
me i'd just delete them straight away without even opening them up me like oh yeah yeah i got
that all once i saw that many i was like oh i got i got proper so i had to go like lock down
all my credit you know you can't make
reports or checks or anything like that you can't do anything anymore it was a it was a whole day of
work it was dumb well here hundreds of thousands of ties normal everyday ties who just run a market
stall and that uh all got like blocked out of their accounts right so essentially the bank and crackdown it was a massive huge like dragnet
and what happened was is that let's say that uh i'd been involved in money laundering right
or i had a mule control of a mule account because what they'll do is they'll go and get like homeless
people they'll go and get like people who've never had a bank account they get them to open up the
bank account they'll give them 5 000 baht which is a lot of money if you've got nothing and then they'll take control of the bank account right
so you've got these people the court of chinese a few chinese in the mall the other week and they
had like uh 230 odd accounts on them and essentially imagine that i'm just like a vendor in a market
right and then you've been involved in like money laundering right or a mule account and you come up and you've scanned like the qr code to pay me 50 baht for
some sati or something my account would have been caught up in the dragnet so all of these innocent
people that just happen to like interact all of these traders and market stall people
hundreds of thousands of them all got their fucking bank accounts
that's what happened with all those people that tried to buy the trump coin right uh just because somewhere down the line someone they interacted with touched a tornado cash or some they
lost out and it forfeited their whatever they kyc'd to buy into
well do you know what's done here?
It caused major damage, right?
Because there was a lot of unbanked people here
and a lot of people got settled bank accounts, right?
For QR code payments during COVID, right?
Like you pay with QR code
for everything over here all the time.
I've never had a bank card
for about four years or something, right?
I just like either transfer from the bank and up uh transfer me renting me bills or i pay by qr
code for everything right and i take some cash out obviously but it's set the banking industry back
probably 25 years because now you've got all of these market stalls and all these markets up north
and that they've all got signs cash only
so this has been sweeping across social media dude in thailand for months now well
months were particularly weak since the big one and people are not willing to accept qr codes and
that now they're all one cash so it's set the banking industry back or they're you know getting
the unbanked banked it set the whole thing back
at least about 25 years they reckon it's really bad they've had to have like uh the police and
all that about to get together they summoned uh all of the provincial head of provincial police
the bangkok they've had to set up like a permanent hotline to get people like unbound within 24 hours
and hotline to get people like unbanned within 24 hours and they're doing like these uh
three checks a day so i think they're doing like a nine three and seven pm every day every bank has
to do these fucking like a sweep for the suspended accounts and that they've accelerated because it's
dude it's called cause world war three here World War III. I saw people fly over toilet paper once,
and I don't trust it when shit like that happens anymore.
I'm not a bank person anyway.
I have two or three,
and I don't like having a lot of money tied up there
where I would rely on either of them.
Whenever the SBB bank collapsed because of FTX or whatever, I forget what it was
that happened.
I watched one of our state banks
get absorbed
by our state bank.
They didn't want to say that's what made
that bank insolvent, but we all know
that's what made that bank insolvent or whatever.
It's crazy shit.
You're talking about Silvergate, right?
They're burying then bought out.
Yeah, the SVB, the Silicon Valley
Bank or whatever.
There was three of them?
There was three of them all in Silicon Valley
area, yeah. There was one called
First Capital Bank and Prosperity,
another state bank, had to absorb it
right in the same two-week time frame.
I think it dragged. Anything
JP Morgan bought bought you know
anything else was just kind of butchered in and absorbed by other smaller
free market enterprise i don't know it's wild that's what that's what nearly took grayscale
out with silver gate because barry was massively exposed to it yeah yeah uh one of our banks got
absorbed by another of my banks and i hated the the one that
got that went under and then all of a sudden after mine absorbed it it became that bank practically
like it has negative interest rates where you got to pay to keep your checking account open
it's like it's like wells fargo now i hate it i take them i'm taking a massive chunk of my
salary out straight away on the payday morning
like i'll get up early and i'm straight to the bank and i'm straight transfer out like i'm keeping
cash on the hip like because uh my main bank account got suspended last january i remember
that because i did a i i did a p2p on binance and it was linked to a mule account and i basically
essentially got done well and i didn't
get done but my bank account got done for being connected to money laundering that was suspended
with my salary in for about six weeks that's one of the smartest things i did is when america was
like you got to stop using binance and then binance was like hey man you got to stop using
binance i was like all right i'm gonna do it i'm gonna go to coinbase and crack and god damn it
even though i really missed binance because it was actually the best but yeah i quit and then binance us never worked in texas so
never got to try it but i felt like what happened to me and i was like i better not
well they stopped it all here you know the clamp right down on it and binance opened
uh binance thailand uh section of the business so they stop all the p2p with binance i can only use htx now because i can't get kyc'd
on any of the thai exchanges so htx is like and i'm only like level one not kyc'd htx is the only
way that i can onboard or off-board into crypto now in thailand the only route i've got no other
route uh bitzada kicked me out uh satan pro kicked me out like they wanted they meant dude satan pro
had an account for ages right it was only me an account in thailand and the wanted me to go
into the office in the city with all these documents me fucking rental contract and
like uh me pay slips me fucking tax fucking i was like fuck off like actually wanted a face-to-face
meeting that's taking kyc to the fucking extremes right yeah i don't think i would do that i remember
the old days where you had to be on like some fucking troll box like bter fucking site to kyc
not kyc but just p2p like escrow trade and fucking crypto and that's what that feels like
over there like when you're that restricted but at the same time i don't know coinbase and
kraken both feel worthless to me outside of getting usdc on if you're old if you're old school did you ever onboard or offboard
through that game so back in the day wasn't like a game where people would onboard and offboard by
like uh being able to buy things and trade things in the game and that did you know about what i'm
talking about really famous all of the big players i wasn't that hip to that kind of stuff i was i was the nerd on reddit
that was way into dogecoin and i would just play doge poker and and they all stole my doge
pretty much and then the tip bot on reddit stole all the rest of my doge and i bought some hot
sauce and a t-shirt and that's what i got all right years ago so it would have been about 2020 2021 i found a thread that this dude did
on twitter and it was all about the game and about how back in the day like uh after mount
gox and all that had up right and people were struggling with crypto before like a lot of the
exchanges like came out went mainstream and that like before binance etc and they were using a game
before binance etc and they were using a game this like rpg game and like the items in the
game like were really expensive so what people were doing is they were onboarding like crypto
like they were being able to like buy the and then like traded whether they're
like onboarding or offboarding or whatever it was basically like a game for money laundering crypto that's what it sounds like that's wild
man i i did try to get on the the mount gox i figured the people that stole all the bitcoin
from mount cox have to get it out without making every mafia mad in the world and so i bought uh
what was it called dark coin it was like the first privacy coin before monero and uh and then they
they pulled the enigma the secret on me they're
like we're rebranding dash and i was i slept through that bear phase and missed it and then
they just told me i can't convert anymore i lost all my dark coin they caught the people who did
the mount gox didn't that can you remember that like the dude that was like acting like a rapper and his girlfriend
that's the reckon that they weren't they reckon they were the patsies they reckon that they
weren't the masterminds but they definitely caught the two of them
i would hate was she a rapper rose no i had no idea about that but i would hate to be those people because you you do the one youtube
like with the rap videos and that i can't remember if it was him that was the rapper or her might have
been her actually but the the like the they didn't even retrieve that much if i remember rightly i
think they only retrieved like a couple of million from them but they reckon that they were maybe
patent not the mastermind but they caught the caught the Mt. Gox people about three or four years ago.
I had no idea. That's wild. That's crazy. That's insane.
They still haven't found that woman yet. How much did she do? Two billion or something.
The Bulgarian woman from Sofia that was at WorldCoin or something the bulgarian woman from sofia that did that was a world coin or
something oh yeah i don't know anything about that one i remember world coin but i don't remember
like the actual details of it oh it was a ponzi it was like one gigantic ponzi she robbed about
two billion or something i'm sure it was well coin but uh there's a whole tale about her they're
trying to say that she's dead, but she ain't fucking dead.
Like, she bailed with the money.
She's just disappeared off the face of the earth,
but you can't.
Once you're in that Slavic area,
you're just like, how many rubles does it take, I feel?
Ah, Bulgaria, Romania.
That's why the Tates live out there, man.
All that fucking area.
Czech Republic.
If you've got money, you can disappear in a heartbeat. Same in Thailandzech republic like if you've got money you can disappear in a heartbeat same in thailand if you've got serious money you can disappear in thailand
and never be found again easily my problem with all those stories is i every time a major black
swan would happen i would take four years off and then it would be booming again i was like oh yeah
i should pay attention to that stuff and and then a black swan would happen and i would just sleep again so like 2022 to now is about the only time i've actually stayed full
focused and so i missed so much it took me so long to catch up in 2021 like what in the
is a smart contract i'm forming me i'm forming because i read about bitcoin just after it had
come out.
And I thought it was a scam.
And I'll tell you how I did it.
It was when I was traveling.
And when I was traveling, I was always, like, on the news and that, you know.
Because you spend all the fucking time, you know.
You're driving around in your van and then you've got nothing to do for the rest of the evening. Or you're stuck in fucking airports for fucking hours or days on end or whatever, right?
So I used to regularly be reading the news.
And I used to always, like be reading the news and then i used to always like read the bbc and i remember that they had like an article right in the early days after
bitcoin was created right and the bbc and like the finance pages business and finance and i read it
and i just thought i never thought anything of it you know and then i went back home did
me teaching degree came back to thailand and i was working in a language center
above the british council and this dude id in 2013 told me about bitcoin and he he bought it early
before the pump uh before the 2013 pump and he seemed to be doing well and then he lost it all
uh i think he lost it in a hack if i remember rightly and then I didn't think anything more of it right
I was just living my life normal and I was still at the same language school and this Scottish teacher Paul
Told aided left by then Paul told me about it in there before the pump in 2017
He's another one. He lost everything and all so like I had two people
Recommending Bitcoin to me telling me about it right. This is way before theory theory and that I had two people recommending bitcoin to me telling me about it right this is way before
theory theory and that i had two people telling me about bitcoin both of them telling me about
how much money they'd made both of them had fucking lost everything like one guy wrecked
his marriage and everything he had to leave thailand in the end he lost his kid and everything
right wrecked him so like my experience up to when kovid kicked in and then i lost my job and i had no
choice but to look like you know i was going to do the stock market with me savings and i put like
uh i think i put like a 70 75 grand in the first in the crypto 75 000 baht and then i put in
another 100 000 so i had like 175 grand of me savings in crypto and but i had no choice at the time
and it was only because my wife's friend had like made a ton of money like she got in like early
like uh she got in pre-covered crash and she just ended up holding a bitcoin and like she had like
b and b for pennies on the dollar and that you know so like i was just looking back
thinking i could have been in this in 2013 i could have been in this in 2017 like and i was looking
on the charts at the prices thinking you absolute pleb so like i had three opportunities to get into
bitcoin from its inception in like 2009. but i was still an idiot like i was playing like
in like 2009.
Yeah, I was there, but I was still an idiot.
Like, I was playing like
two or three hundred thousand dollar
Dogecoin hands of poker
to go to bed every night
when I could have been just holding it, you know, and mining it
like I was, and then
again, not doing
things like minting CryptoPunks, because
god damn, twenty dollars is a lot of gas, man
and that's like two grams of weed.
Fucking idiot, dude. she told me to get into dogecoin
my wife told me to get into dogecoin in january 2021 just when the first corvid case had hit
thailand right before the world went into lockdown in the march and she told me to get into dogecoin
and her friend at work had done it for her and i remember
like you had dogecoin wasn't really like prevalent on the exchanges and that you had to like have
the wallet do you remember the separate doge wallet thing that you had to have well yeah it
was like bitcoin it still uses the qt wallet in the old days it would like sync up 400 gigs onto
your like c drive and shit as is like an old wallet would and you had to run the
whole like blockchain index on your own computer i miss those days kind of because it was uh it
was like merge mind or something wasn't it i thought it was just because i mean bitcoin had
the same wallet system until they they upgraded and did some things like the old bitcoin wallet
the bitcoin qt was exactly like dogecoin wallet
oh i've heard about the old days when you had to get your key in that like it used to be
mad back in the old days right right hassle oh dude that's probably a whole night i
i think this one stoner that came to my house because he knew i was nerdy enough and was just
like how do we find bitcoin
on the internet is pretty much the exact question he asked me and i was like i don't know what the
you're talking about and he tried to explain it like ready player one and i was like there's no
way that's how it works and and we did some research and then we mined it what what put me
off is that she said that she would send me some dogecoin and then she brought like
the work laptop on that home and she went to do it and the gas was absolutely astronomical
like the gas to send a little bit of dogecoin the gas was like 20x or something what she was
gonna send me the gas was horrendous it was all just like block time based uh i sent so many people
dogecoin like hundreds of thousands of it
and then i'd call them whenever it was like at a penny i was like where's your fucking computer
it's on that hard drive because it still ran that old wallet dot dat file and they'd be like oh yeah
we threw that shit in the dumpster and i'm just like you had two hundred thousand dollars on that
dumpster i'll tell you what i did do really well on uh i think it was one of the first things i
bought on q coin uh shib i did really well on shib like i made a nice stack of money out of
that thing that's that's when i told you around people how to not get over in memes because i was
like shib's gonna you you normies are stupid and and i could have just shut the up and put 200
dollars in it and became a millionaire like the rest of those other people
dude i was probably only a couple of weeks away from being six figures man
and i took six figures down to four there's nobody not part what people don't tell you
is on the way up you want to sell the whole time and you don't know how high it's gonna go and you either hold it too long or you get out way too early like i sold
my last like 50 000 dogecoin for about a penny i think and then then watched it go to 60 cents
i was like no they said it would never go over a penny again juno is probably my biggest mistake
of my life like i should have seen the warning signs i
should have seen the writing on the wall when fucking prop 16 went through yeah and clever
people i i had some stake i just barely made the osmosis airdrop in that era and and i didn't
qualify for stars i didn't qualify for juno i just barely got Osmosis. So I participated in Juno, but I didn't get screwed over by, like,
I didn't get Netta, I didn't get Ion.
And so I didn't get to get all those super-duper gains,
but I definitely don't know how I'd feel if I lost all that.
I didn't get into Terra until Shade was going to give me an airdrop,
and the Nationals started putting it on their fucking outfield.
I did really well on osmosis and uh osmosis and stars so i got the osmosis airdrop i did all of the tasks and everything
but uh i sold i was screaming from the rooftops i got i got vilified for fucking screaming at
the rooftops to sell osmosis at 850. Oh yeah, that would have been awesome.
I fucked up, I got all my osmosis airdrop, and then I looked at the
dex, and I was like, oh, this is a really cool...
I didn't know what dexes were either that male.
I was like, oh, this is really neat. You can
swap for, what is it, six
tokens? And I split my osmosis
airdrop into Akash,
Iris,
CRO, and then some other shit, maybe Adam.
And all of them went to shit except for maybe A-Cash.
Do you know my biggest mistake?
And I should have, you know, I should have took to heart the scene of being crypto rich and being cash poor, right?
of being crypto rich and being cash poor right because i was off-boarding money at the peak and
i was spending it like it didn't even exist so like dude i was just gone mental blown money
left right and center when i was pumping but i was like looking at me wallets and there was like
grand and grand in like 20 grand sitting there in june or and blah blah blah and i was
like i'm just ordering like craft beers and that right like every day and take away
food from the good fancy italians and that i was spending like three four thousand
baht a day five thousand baht a day just on booze and food sitting at my desk for 18 hours a day
thinking i was a big shot gordon gecko and i just we were renting villas
like i was living the high life like proper living the high life didn't give a flying right
just being there newly separated from me missus and all and like i was just gone mad getting out spending like
like fucking like bar bill i remember going out and paying for everybody's fucking drinks
right when we went out for the football like getting bar bills like eight and a half nine
grand and that coming out of these like fancy restaurants and that fucking like just money
that you wouldn't spend you know at fucking thailand like i should have fucking
remained like principled and not let it get to me head do you know what i mean uh anyway i think uh
i think it's t boom pickens he had a an old wildcatter old oilfield quote where it was like
lord give me one more oilfield boom and i'll promise to to not sit all away this time
or some and that's a it's life advice but also um jimmy buffett i hate and i'm not a big fan of
jimmy buffett's music because it's just played out but a pirate looks on 40s line where he's
like i had enough money to buy miami but i pissed it all away that's so easy to do
easy to do the one the one probably good thing that i did was pay for half her house and you
know it's where the dogs live now so even though it hurts me yeah that's smart i crawled out of my
main debts and that's the best thing i could do i don't have a bunch of toys but i definitely don't
don't feel like i'm fucking a slave to anything now oh i made i made some crucial errors i should
feel like i'm a slave to anything now
have went and bought the condo is what i should have done when i got the net airdrop because i
started cashing out netter at like three and a half grand uh i did hold on to some a bit too long
but like i think when it was about 700 and something, I just dumped it all into like raccoon NFTs and that, which I did quite well on.
But I mean, to be honest with you, half the house was kind of like the divorce settlement.
So it was like if I wasn't going to have any trouble over here and if I was going to get her out of my life.
And Ben and mine had an insurance policy on me, a life insurance policy.
insurance policy on me a life insurance policy so you know i had to play the the fine line kind of
So, you know, I had to play the fine line.
like it was worth it i think uh about 750 000 baht i put into that house but it was kind of worth it
to have like a trouble-free existence so i don't begrudge it i just realized like how stupid i was
and i could have easily went and bought a decent little condo you know what i mean like 1.5 million baht or something i should have bought gold i should have bought a car i didn't
like i paid off her car well it was our car at the time but i paid off the car i just i just made so
many like fatal blunders like again life lessons i mean i'm gonna learn from them it's not gonna
happen again do you know what i mean but will we ever get another cycle like that again like i don't know yeah
man i'm scared after the crypto who knows i think so i think it's gonna get weirder the
the crazier geopolitics goes and we're pretty close to scary there
if i could go back and do anything again, I would have dumped at the right time and I just would have waited and bought nothing but Bitcoin and fucking 16k.
If I could go back and do anything again, that's all I would do.
I wouldn't be messing around with memes or anything.
Fuck, man.
When I started messing around with Solana memes, fucking, that's when I lost money.
that's when I lost money I remember like a fucking got a bed man dude fucking
one day and I had a I'd about fucking ten grand or something in these main
coins right and then I woke up the next day and it's like sitting for the less
than a grand I was like I try to tell people about those fast ones in like
especially Solana it's just I never did well I did good on the azalea coin and
the Trump coin that's like
maybe oh and dog with hat those are the three that did well and then all
all 90 other attempts i tried in solana ended with me getting rugged i'm pretty sure
i wish i got in with i should have listened to anson at the time yeah i should have
golden ratio for half of those because golden ratio and handsome were naming them they were going down that whole line from like
whiff to that albermail and all the others and i was like i'm not going to soul yet
and then i finally went and did it and i was like damn it i'm too late
gigantic rebirth and all if we'd have just followed gigantic rebirth we could have fucking
be multi-millionaires by now right he's the best crypto trader out there him by far yeah and veto
was talking about uh ben cowen as well today like how accurate he's been someone did like a whole
fucking expose on like the macro that ben cowen's been nailing out who's the dude uh oh james isn't it james win i
the dude that lost the book i don't trust that guy that guy seems like
james winn do kwan and jp thor are the three people that are like way too
cocky and it's kind of fun to see them get
owned by like sticking the stick in the front bike wheel
did you see that aster run did you get in that
after recently I have been building my own project and to a point where I am so disconnected I miss
my morning rec FM spaces and everything like I wake up I open cursor I fucking start my server
or whatever and I start building and I'm testing i'm so close to being like in a test
net where i can let other people test with me but holy shit i don't know how i'm building on a
blockchain and i don't know how i don't know how i've like not erased all my test net money in some
weird crazy way it's just working i just keep crawling and it's working that woman made a right fortune on that after the other day
i think uh i'm trying to remember a name i'll go i can't find it in a second
i should put in like uh on each side of them and i was like oh damn it's like that now huh
oh dude she stuck like 1.14 million into aster the other day before the pump man
then she took out like five and a half million a few the other day before the pump man and she took out like
five and a half million a few days later those are the ones i always miss and then i'm like this
is gonna be the next one this is the one and it's just like surprise you're broke
it's like there's people i know in the cosmos that you know did the hyper liquid thing and got
five or six figures and I was like I could have
done that I just don't like leverage I know I could kick myself over hyper liquid like because
there were signs I mean rec gang would got like promote it like fuck dawn was another one and shrewp made like 40 grand or something off the first airdrop and if he'd have kept it i bet even
more uh i don't know what happened no i didn't he i thought he held it he's a little crazy but i like
him i've got me on opinion i've got me on opinion i'll look i just i'll use the word two-faced and
not say anything else yeah i mean yeah i'm like a normal thing he's gone a little bit off the deep end but uh when he was building and stuff i liked seeing him progress on there
i guess is what i should really say they just turned into cunts they turned into cunts over
those two nft collections i mean gains like they turned into greedy they were they were decent
guys before the money went to their head like two of them like and also
i'll say something here on the thing i like the kid but against i like i like him but you know
i didn't didn't make 120 grand off an nft collection and then promised wait promised the
world oh the pixel squids the second one they made 120 grand didn't didn't promise the world and all of
his dow and buying and vaults and and then off off the face of the earth for the best part of like
five nearly six months and wait and then wait and then come back and then come back and be like oh
i've been struggling with my mental health and that i just thought that was pathetic like i'm
like dude you just made 120 grand and off and you've come back like complaining that you know i know you guys have fun with beats by governance but i like my dow
it's it's fun as i like building on it it's not it's it's more so as like a digital artist when
i say a digital artist that is my nine to five job in the oil field and outside of it building
like logos and websites and the dow and the cutes project to me is like my evolving portfolio
at this point like it's what i want to see progress and build rather than the day-to-day
i gotta draw well you know the reason why we haven't been doing like things with the
dow and that since space by governance etc so you know that we were moved away from like the
rack fm records plc kind of brandon and we put everything
under finn's name like the finn raps.com i just thought that was the time where like all of the
focus should just be on finn i like and like not a lot but i mean it was already a lot of focus on
him but i like that it's it's moving to just his his patreon and all that too i saw that today
but i like that it's it's moving to just his his patreon and all that too i saw that today
that was that was me that put that forward yeah i mean realistically if you think about it we i
didn't actually have to because it was like a bonus for like it was right fm records down right
so like it was good exposure for us but i went to finn and i was just like look finn like we need
and make a change here And this is the perfect time
We're signing off this
This album, blah blah blah
Everything should just be released under your name now
And he was like, oh yeah, fair enough
But I persuaded him to do that
It was the right decision man
Mate, do me a favour though
I'm going to wind this down
Because it's lunchtime and I'm hungry
Garnt Minty's Graphwork Volume 3 It's's on stargate i mean it's up for a while like but
make sure you grab a copy to support your man right absolutely gonna go do it i gotta make
sure i have stars even but i'm sure i got some stakes somewhere it's in atom mate you can buy
it in at them it's 1.5 i got d atom somewhere that's that's earning so if you get it on stargaze
are you be able to grab a copy it's easy to get it on stargaze anyway in it with skip
yeah i still like stargaze i'm really wondering what's what they're gonna do now with shane who
was totally gonna go to jail for stargaze but i guess a merger wasn't it was too hard ah do you
do you know any details about that because details
have been very sketchy with the people about on the show everybody was like
the project and it seems like he just kind of up and bounce so I don't know
if he is going to jail for it or just decided he doesn't want to be about that
life I don't know but I mean if I know like, I would die with my project at the same time.
I know that he was having a tough time.
Genuinely like him.
I like the entire staff.
It's not my fucking circus, you know?
It's a hard thing.
I would never try to run an NFT site like that.
The infrastructure alone scares the fuck out of me.
I hear you now, yeah.
Dude, it's really fucking up. My mute button keeps getting stuck. It's just crashed on me.
It's a fucking piece of shit with the spaces right now. Loads of people have tried
to connect and couldn't hear shit in Nevada leaving that, man.
The last two weeks, I've been trying to come into the spaces
especially the evening ones and like i would jump in and i'd hear you guys say about three things
and then it would repeat and then repeat and that's like total rogue i've got a i've got an old
the old apk from when i always keep it on file i've got the old apk from when uh spaces was fine you
know we had those problems a couple of years ago so i downloaded it i was wondering because i mean me and rebel tried one super bolt space i'm like
we're gonna do this like the raccoons i'm gonna join as co-hosts and you're gonna leave and join
back and and we it all up i'll tell you what dude uh i'll send you the link because it's on
google drive we've got a chat between us in case, like, Twitter Spaces ever goes south where we can just.
Because another thing you can do, if you're having trouble with the Spaces and you just want to be a listener,
do you know you can use Twitter Lite as well or not?
Which is, like, really good.
But as a listener, that sounds dope.
But one thing I've done, and I need to share this with you, maybe just like Finn in general,
and i need to share this with you maybe just like finn in general because i don't know how he records
because I don't know how he records.
but i built this thing that i just i send the account and it scrapes all of twitter and just
auto downloads the space for you like instantly into whatever format you want
dude we need that because obviously like finn's really really busy at the minute you know
it's obviously like finn's really really busy at the minute you know uh we need on script i made
it's so easy we need that but uh dude i the the twitter version i'm gonna send you the ap are you
on android or iphone uh i'm on android ah perfect it's twitter uh 9.76.0 or something it's from i've got it from february 2024 when twitter was like absolutely
fucking abysmal on the space as everybody was getting cut off and shit i'll send you the google
drive link in the dms i so just down you have the apk and you don't have to activate it right
do you know what i mean you can just have it on your phone and then if if like
if there's ever like a problem like that like if it's taking you two weeks just literally stick
the apk on and it's absolutely fine it's the old version and it works perfect as long as you've got
automatic updates switched off in your play start account like never have automatic updates on uh
on android ever never ever in a million miles.
Just put this version on mate and it works absolutely perfect. We've done it a few times
but if you're just listening or you just want to be a listener, always have Twitter Lite
like downloaded on your phone and you can be logged into Twitter Lite and be logged into
the normal Twitter at the same time. It's happened me a few times when I've never not been able to listen to a space I'll jump on Twitter
light but it shows you as a incognito it doesn't show you as a listener you know
at the bottom when it says like two people are listening all right you can't
talk but I uh I also use uh what is it I mean I'm mainly on PC because I'm talking right now on my main
workstation. I hate using my
phone. You'll know I'm on my phone when I'm
hauling ass down the highway and I'm like, what the fuck's
up? And it's like, I'm out in the middle of nowhere.
That's the only time I like using
a space on my phone.
Negative sort of
the functionality on your phone
is 10 times the functionality of what's on
a computer, like putting stuff in the nest and that yeah
Is it cuz I've learned the shortcuts in terms of that it's just really fucking hard to find on a PC
Like there's a little arrow that gets me shit in the nest now. It was really hard. I will it
It depends if you use and like just the normal desktop app or if you're using BlueStacks to mirror the app.
Oh, yeah, BlueStacks.
Yeah, I forgot about that.
That's a cool little emulator.
Yeah, you get the full functionality if you're using the BlueStacks on the normal PC app, though.
You kind of put stuff in the nest in that.
Unless they've changed it.
I'll have to have a look because last time I used it on the PC, it was fucking terrible.
I couldn't even get a co-host and that in at the time mate i've just sent that
uh apk on the uh in the dms the link to the google drive right check it out let me know if you have
any problems but uh maybe we're going to be doing a morning show so i'm going to be live in about
given about uh seven hours anyway oh i'll probably be up i'll see if i can join in
uh seven hours anyway oh i'll probably be up i'll see if i can join in
no worries nice to hear from your five on it it's been a while son see you and later kit
i haven't seen kit in his face forever and i shout out for then kit the baroness the baroness we love
a bit of kit you know she never comes up and talks these days she's always too busy too busy for the plan no remain this giga brain a man she's fucking giga brains every day
don't she
oh she's a cool cat all right cool kids cool kit will call her anyway mate yeah
you triggered me earlier when you said patsy you I haven't had patsy you for
about fucking six weeks that's exactly what i'm gonna go and have for me man that's i had one tie joint that shut down two
weeks ago and i'm bummed i think there's one more in town i gotta go try and they better have that
on the menu they're the only noodles i can eat now i mean i eat the parmi the yellow uh egg noodles
sometimes but not not very often but i cannot eat the normal white noodles here
here patsy use the all because here it's like full of jalapenos and other good chilies
oh no there's no spice in it here oh man that's why i like it the way they make it here is just
chicken and like diced jalapenos and it's just so good it's like three ingredients yeah three ingredients and
then obviously like the oyster sauce and the fish sauce and shit that they're
pouring up when they fry it up but it's like three ingredients it's like this
one vegetable don't even know what the vegetable is it's one vegetable chicken
and then noodle and that's all the pour in the pot to you guy here need chili
or anything in it that's why it's a nice like lunch all right i'm off for it make you know
much it is it's like a dollar a dollar fifty a dollar fifty freaking big bowl of it i miss that
it's i can't even go out and eat in this town even the the good old school like that's expensive
it used to be like 99 cent taco trucks and now it's like 4.99 mate thai food abroad is exorbitant compared to what it is here like
it's absolutely ridiculously expensive in england and that and you got the best food in like all
the world too dude it's so fake man i went to thai restaurant when i was back with my family
in england man and it was just the fakest fucking like i've ever fucking heard i was asking them about things in thai and they were like no we haven't got that
no we haven't got that and i'm like what you got a few that's what i'm all about is authentic
and so if it's not somewhat authentic i don't go to it i got two or three good places in town that
are like that and and if it's just kind of like americanized i'm not about it
dude man in england man the thing satay and massman's like the peak or
thai food i'm like there's no nothing here's no absolutely but if it's like a happy meal like
industrialized or just you know like panda express that can't do it
now i'm happy with your little woman on the street, man.
Nice little stall on the fuckin' street.
Dollar and a half for a big fuckin' pot of it.
Anyway, dude, I'm gonna wind this down, right?
I might catch it tomorrow, yeah?
Yeah.
Your tomorrow.
I'll turn you up early.
No worries, mate. Take care. Have a good one.
See you later, kid.
Take care.
Bye-bye.
Rack FM, over and out peeps
