1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: H ah beautiful. If it doesn't work, you're just not

2
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: using enough. You're listening to software radio, special operations, military

3
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: news and straight talk with the guys in the community,

Speaker 1: any on your Marine Scouts. Sniper Jason Delgado is just

6
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: something we believe it. I associate that with taste, but

7
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: I like freaking chocolate chi may Why is it flavor? Boring?

8
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: The whole lively board And now here's your co host

9
00:00:50,320 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: and producer of this operation, Ian Scott Lee softerep dot

Speaker 1: Com on Time on Target. Very excited to have Donnie

11
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: O'Malley coming on this episode, which was really Jason's suggestion.

12
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: I know you're a huge fan of his work. Well, yeah,

13
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: he is hilarious. I think out of all the veteran

14
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: skits that are on like um, Facebook and thinking, you

15
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 1: know social media like that, he's hands down the funniest one.

16
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot of them too, and he has yeah

17
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: he has a vet TV stuff and hopefully we'll get

18
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: into with him. But man, like, dude, he's hilarious. Like

19
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: I think he nails the persona of the marine like

20
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: down to a t. To the point where he can

21
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: dissect it and and and highlight the actual comedy in it,

22
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, cut's cut the bullshit

23
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: on and get straight to our funny mannerisms. And it's

24
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: just like a barrage of mannerisms and it's just like

25
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: it's like side splitting. It's crazy. You would also know

26
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: better than anyone else, you know. I mean, you are

27
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: a marine, so you know, yeah, I wish I wish

28
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: you guys could have the experience that I have so

29
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: that you can enjoy his comedy. Yeah, because it's funny

30
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: nonetheless when you watch it, but there's there's a lot

31
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: of subliminal jokes there, and you know, a lot of

32
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff under the layers, and it's just

33
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: so funny. If you guys knew, you know, it's it's

34
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: like when we were always split spitting out acronyms, and

35
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes we have to stop and like, oh,

36
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: by the way, that means this, guys, it's like that,

37
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: you guys trust me, he's hilarious. But I know what

38
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: you mean because with Matt Best, I remember the first

39
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: time I saw his stuff because our friend Leo Jenkins

40
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: was in his video I remember, like I showed it

41
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: to Andrew Willcow and we were both laughing. But there

42
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: were times that Andrew was like, I don't get that part.

43
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: What does that mean? And I'd be like, I I

44
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: don't know either. So sometimes yeah, it's a little bit inside.

45
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: Um but yeah, no, I agree with you, like you

46
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: kind of have to play to that because of the

47
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: comedy that you're doing anyway. Um, So getting into everything,

48
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: one of the first things I wanted to mention was

49
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: my apologies for not mentioning Pearl Harbor last episode. Literally

50
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: right after we recorded the episode. Hey, I just I was.

51
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: I was trying to put the heat on you bro.

52
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: Right after we recorded it and we went to the software.

53
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: That's what it was. Should I forgot it. That's what

54
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: we were preoccupied with getting out of here in time

55
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Yeah, And it's a big thing

56
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: to mention because we've had we had one of the

57
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: last Pearl Harbor survivors on an episode not that long ago.

58
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: You know who was there at Pearl Harbor. So I

59
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: always think to myself when I get to meet someone

60
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: who was there at Pearl Harbor, like we are the

61
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: last generation who will get to meet these people, they're

62
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: they're dying off unfortunately. So the least I can do

63
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: is is acknowledge, you know, the importance of that day.

64
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: Every day. We'll do that for every uh you know,

65
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: substantial battle and you know American history. You know, that's

66
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: just what we have to do because, like you said,

67
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: generations are going to be lost here soon enough. And

68
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: what do we have once they're gone? You know, we

69
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: have hearsay, you know, and you leave it up to

70
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: everyone out there misconstruing facts. Now, you know, we're gonna

71
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: lose a very important part of our history. So we

72
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: always have to highlight these things. Yeah, I um, I

73
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: remember it's serious. For example, Uh, last year might have

74
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: been two years ago. I remember I met this guy

75
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: Dr descy Roth, Holocaust survivor um, and he talked about

76
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: that after he survived the Holocaust, he then survived Communism

77
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, so he was like, I lived

78
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: through you know, national socialism, Nazism, I lived through Communism.

79
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: I heard Hitler gibb speeches on the radio, and it's like,

80
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: you know, if I ever have kids, they will never

81
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: meet these people because they're they're not going to be

82
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: around much longer. Imagine that the destabilization he went through

83
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: during both of those periods, you know, because the economies

84
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: are just like tore up to you know somewhat you know,

85
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: restanding as a totally different ideology. You know, it's like,

86
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: can you ima eagine everyone that suffers in between those periods? Yeah,

87
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: that's crazy man. Yeah. And he became a doctor. His

88
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: father was a doctor, and he talked about you know,

89
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: like the Nazis taking his father away, and then he

90
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: talked about the communist destroying his property. It's you know,

91
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: to to live through those types of things like I

92
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: it's it's one of those things we talked about in

93
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: the podcast often, but we don't realize how good we

94
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: have it sometimes. How do you lift through stuff like that?

95
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,679
Speaker 1: And I hold a grudge? Yeah, that's that's crazy. Well

96
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: that it also reminds me of UH on the Power

97
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: of Thought. We had the guy who flew the last

98
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: combat mission over Japan and his UH grandson married a

99
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: Japanese girl. What do you say about that? I mean,

100
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: obviously as to get over you know what I mean,

101
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: But did he feel anything towards the gesture? Well, he

102
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: was shocked that you know, their parents would allow it.

103
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: I believe it was the grandparents. You know, it's funny.

104
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: I gotta listen back to the episode. You know, it's

105
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: a few months back back, so forgive me if I'm

106
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: not completely accurate. But the one thing that was said

107
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: was they said, so this man flew you know, planes

108
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: over Japan and flew that particular plane and the Japanese.

109
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: I think grandfather was like, if that's the type of

110
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: man this was, then I want him in my gene

111
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: pool bad. So that's pretty impressive to you know, stand

112
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: aside from all the uh, the hatred and the animosity

113
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: and the war, and just be able to look at

114
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: It's what we were talking about a couple of episodes

115
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: with Tonto. A few episodes were gonna say, well, you know,

116
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: we have this certain admiration or respect to our adversaries

117
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: because they're willing to meet us and fight us and

118
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: die with you know, die by us, or try to

119
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: kill us. So you know that in and of itself,

120
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: that that base the fact that they're brave and they're

121
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 1: willing to face you and die. Yeah, I mean you

122
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: gotta respect that, you got to. So I agree with him, Yeah,

123
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: I would love to have those genes in my family

124
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, all right, so um. Also the holiday

125
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: party we just had there was West event. I wasn't

126
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: at that. I was at the party, um and it

127
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: was just you know, company party. It was in the

128
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: team room event which is coming up soon. But I

129
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: just wanted to hear your thoughts on that and the

130
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: Gym West event because I was not at that. I see,

131
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: I see the potential in this um with the event.

132
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: It was the first one we threw for Jim. Um.

133
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: I I can see it getting a little bit more tighter,

134
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, maybe at a smaller barn.

135
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm no hit on Emmetts. I love em and if

136
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: we can constantly do it, we would do it at Emmet's.

137
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: But it's just I think Jim needs a I'm sorry,

138
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: a set block, a set time frame, maybe an hour tops,

139
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: where there's quiet, you know, where there's you know that

140
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: you don't have the ambiance NBA noise from a bar

141
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: in the background, and you know it's hard for your

142
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: audience to hear you as well when you're up there

143
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: and you know, trying to focus in on specific instructions.

144
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: So I think maybe the bar setting we can duplicate

145
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: somewhere and then do maybe one a week with him,

146
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, and maybe just stay with two at the

147
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: removes and just kind of feed it off of that.

148
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: That's my suggestion. Um. As far as the event, man,

149
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm surprised the turnout was pretty decent. We have people

150
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: coming from people. Yeah, we have people coming from you know,

151
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: as far as I think one place was Utah. Um. Yeah,

152
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: you know, Jim draws him out. Man. People want to

153
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: meet this guy, and I you know, I don't blame him,

154
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: so yeah, definitely see potential in this. I hope we

155
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: keep going with this. I think, you know, Jim definitely

156
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 1: deserves the attention he needs. You know, I think people

157
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: could benefit a lot from his techniques. He's he's pretty,

158
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: he's a badass. Yeah, which reminds me speaking of m

159
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: m A. Although she didn't win, uh, wis Carmuch we're

160
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 1: gonna have on next week fought? Yeah, but everyone that

161
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: saw that, everyone that saw that fight knew that she

162
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: was winning that fight. You know what, if I could

163
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: grab my phone for a second, I'll find what she wrote.

164
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: But I'm looking forward to speaking with her. And for

165
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: those who don't know whis Carmoch fought in the first

166
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: women's UFC event against Rhonda Rousing. Yeah, I mean you

167
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: put both of them side by side, you would have

168
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: never known she lost because the other girl looked like

169
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: bust the Douglas beat her up. Well, here's what she

170
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: road and Liz is at I am girl Rella on Instagram.

171
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: From the damage to her face, you'd think I won.

172
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: Unfortunately I left to a decision and wasn't able to

173
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: bring home to win. Thank you everyone for your support.

174
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm back at it next week to be the best

175
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 1: I can be. Yeah, she's also I I interviewed her

176
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: on Sirius x M a few years back, and she's

177
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: just very classy because she talked about we talked about fighters,

178
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: you talk a lot of ship basically, and she was like, yeah,

179
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: I don't do that because you're gonna look like an

180
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: idiot if you lose, and uh, you know I could

181
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: agree with that. Yeah, I think that'd be embarrassing when

182
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: you're you know, showboating and the next you know, you

183
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: get you asked knocked out. A lot of guys don't

184
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 1: really care much about that, but I think it's a

185
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: part of the industry to the whole drumming up um

186
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: attention and anticipation for the event. I think a lot

187
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: of that stuff, uh following I'm proceeding to fight is theatrics.

188
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: It really is. You can't possibly hate someone that much

189
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: in an industry where you're always fighting, you're gonna hate

190
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: every opponent you have come back well, and that's also

191
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: you know Connor McGregor, he's used to his advantage. I think, yeah,

192
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: it's it's like wrestling but real where you still need

193
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: a character. People still need to cling onto something, you know,

194
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: and you need you need you need to uh what

195
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: do you call it? U franchise yourself? You know, you

196
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,599
Speaker 1: need to sell yourself. Yeah. Um. Big news item of

197
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: the day, of course, is the Roy Moore versus Doug

198
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: Jones Senate election in Alabama. I don't want to get

199
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: into it too much because I feel like the news

200
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: has saturated this election like crazy. We'll see what happens.

201
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: By the time this is up tomorrow, we'll have the results.

202
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: The one thing I thought it was funny, I mean,

203
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: it's funny and and just like what the funk you

204
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: doing kind of way was when Roy Moore's wife came

205
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: up and said, they say that we don't like Jews. Well,

206
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: one of our attorneys is Jewish, and I was just like,

207
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: you know, whoever, it's like your your pr person, like,

208
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: probably not the best move to use that as like

209
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 1: we're not anti Semitic. I'm not. I'm not anti I'm

210
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: not anti Latino. I have Mexicans cutting my lawn all

211
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, it was. It was not not smart

212
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: in their part, and you know, I'm not gonna get

213
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: too involved in it. I do feel like the media

214
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: has talked about this, uh election of death because it

215
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: gets viewers. It's controversial also, and they're trying, they're trying.

216
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: East Side is trying to get their agenda out. You know,

217
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: they're trying. They're trying to get there obviously their candidate

218
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: to win. So it's it's saturation on both sides and

219
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: the Republican ticket in the Democratic ticket. But if I

220
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: have to call it, I don't. I don't see Roy

221
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: Moore winning it. Well by the time this is up,

222
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: well no, I actually I will go opposite. If you'll

223
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: go opposite, I think Roy Moore is gonna win. Uh,

224
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: you know, I think the more that the you know,

225
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: here here's the thing, it's it's it's on the people

226
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: of Alabama too, So well, I'm going to be objective

227
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: about this. If I lived in Alabama, Emma, I would

228
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: not be voting for Roy Moore. However, I could see

229
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: from the perspective of the people in Alabama that the

230
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: more that the liberal sided media talks about that you

231
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: shouldn't vote for this guy, how terrible he is, and

232
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is a disgrace for endorsing him, the

233
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: more it energizes that base to go out and vote

234
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: for him because they don't care with the New York

235
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: you know, liberal media things. We also need him in

236
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: the Senate, you know, as far as the Conservatives are concerned,

237
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: because you know, we have to get a lot of

238
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: things approved. So um, like I said, they're just going

239
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: really hard. I just I don't know. I just think

240
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: the fact that the accusations can you know, we're allegedly

241
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: underaged women. I think that's what's kind of got to

242
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: be that jagged pill to swallow. You know. Yeah, we'll

243
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: see what happens. Um. But it's almost like the way

244
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: that I look at it is that CNN, MSNBC, on

245
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 1: on one hand, what they do and what all media

246
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: is and I set it before, is selling people to

247
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: advertise her. So if they could keep you tuned in

248
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: and they could keep you watching commercials buying products, they're

249
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: doing their job. However, I think they really if they're

250
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: in terms of getting an agenda through, they have really

251
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: missed the boat through the Trump election that they're part

252
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: of the reason Trump got elected, all this negative publicity.

253
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: So they're doing the exact same thing with Roy Moore,

254
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: and if he gets elected, I am partially gonna say

255
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: you're the reason he got elected. And and the fact

256
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: that they have not rotated out any new representatives to

257
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, I mean, you got, I forgot who

258
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: was calling for Nancy Pelosi to resign because she's just

259
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: been there forever um. But they want fresh blood, and

260
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: then I think they have that they have there's a

261
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: base to that because I don't see many people relating

262
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: to Bernie Sanders, Nasty Pelosi. I mean, these are senior citizens, man,

263
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: you know, and and you know, they came up at

264
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: a different time then we came up. So I think

265
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: that there's not that there's not that relation there between

266
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: their core constituents and you know, or their their base

267
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: and their representatives. But they keep getting voted in, so

268
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's up to the people if they want

269
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: these people who have been in office for decades out.

270
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: It's up to you to vote him out, I mean

271
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: your New York Red Chuck Schumer forever. Yeah, I don't

272
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: think he's going anywhere. And you know it's not like

273
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: he's he's a dictator of New York. We have the

274
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: opportunity to vote him out. And there's never really a

275
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: strong And you gotta admit, New York has not been

276
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: on any sort of decline whatsoever since early two thousand's,

277
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, since after nine eleven, Like everything in New

278
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: York is security is better, economic, economically, financially, you know, Um,

279
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: I just think safety wise in general, like I have

280
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: not seen New York slips, So that might that might

281
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: speak as to why Chuck is still still in the seat,

282
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, because you know we trust him, which is

283
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: a good segue to the next thing talking about security.

284
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: Yesterday we heard about the terrorists attack in New York

285
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: City Port Authority bus terminal where a lot of people

286
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: I know, right a port authority. Yeah, you're sorry, you

287
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: will give you like like I have no no, because no,

288
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: A lot of my friends, a lot of my friends

289
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: actually at serious sex Like Mike Bins. They travel in

290
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: and out of a Port Authority bus terminal at that

291
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: time every day, so you know it's always scared when yeah,

292
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: port authority, you know that that's like the peak hour

293
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: right there. Yeah, man, So what was your uh what

294
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: doing on it? They want an idiot. Definitely throw a

295
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: punch of the week for this guy because he's not

296
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: even a successful terrorist. So I printed out this art.

297
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be an electrician or something. Man, he

298
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: must you need, you need to go back to all

299
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: the houses he wired up here in the city and

300
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: check them. Plus somebody's house birds down. I don't know

301
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: if you saw this, because to me, this was the

302
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: most uh you know, the thing about everything. The the

303
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: response from the family. Did you hear that? Um? I

304
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: did hear the response from the family and how they

305
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: was it that they said? So this was their response

306
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: from the family of the terrorists. Uh. We are heartbroken

307
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: by the violence that was targeted at our city today

308
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: and by the allegations being made against a member of

309
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: our family, But we are also outraged by the behavior

310
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: of law enforcement officials who have held children as small

311
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: as four years old out in the cold that who

312
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: held a teenager out of high school classes to interrogate

313
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: him without a lawyer. These are not the sorts of

314
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: actions that we expect from our justice system, and we

315
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: have every confidence that our justice system will find the

316
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: truth behind this attack and that we will, in the

317
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: end be able to learn what occurred today. Man, Like

318
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: what a fucking yeah, that's what it was. They were,

319
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: they were saying the way they were they were handled

320
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: by authorities during the investigation that you know, um through

321
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: the fact, uh, they didn't like you know that you know,

322
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: they were calling their family members out into the street

323
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: or you know, pulling them over while they were going

324
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: to work. And you're you're not gonna be you know,

325
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: I've heard Brandon say it on the podcast before, like,

326
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: but are we supposed to said like correspondence first and

327
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, we're gonna come check up on you guys. Yeah,

328
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: I've heard Brandon say it on the podcast before, like

329
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be given the white glove treatment when

330
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 1: you're a terrorist in New York City. It's not gonna happen.

331
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: And then what's the deterrent? You know, what's the deterrent

332
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: to that you know, if you're treating everyone, it's the same.

333
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: It's the same principle as to why jails are so shitty.

334
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: You know, you don't want to You're never gonna go

335
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: to jail and be like, well, I had the most

336
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: pleasant time in the world. No, it's it's meant to

337
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 1: be torturous and hell. And the benches are only six

338
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: inches wide so you can't lay on them if you

339
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: have a wide back. It's ridiculous. It's supposed to be hell,

340
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: so that you don't want to go back. So I

341
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: could see why maybe uh, being a little stern for

342
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: lack of better terminology, being a little stern with the family,

343
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe set of precedence to the other

344
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: families out there that here's some type of crazy rhetoric

345
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: out of someone and amongst their ranks, and maybe they'll say,

346
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: you know what, if this guy does something stupid, is

347
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: gonna come down on everybody. So maybe we need to

348
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: send this guy away. Well, I've played this clip on

349
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: the podcast before. I played it with j Um from

350
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: Soft Rep and Terry Shapherd when he was on Gutfeld

351
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: Show made this statement and it went like absolutely viral.

352
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: The video I pulled up is only one of videos.

353
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean it was on Facebook and had like an

354
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: insane amount of likes and share. So Terry has been

355
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: on the podcast several times and people seem to really

356
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: like what he said here. Sorry, I would actually like

357
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: to hear your reaction to because people wonder how do

358
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: you solve this type of thing? And I think he

359
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: said something that a lot of people would say his practical.

360
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: So then for a living years almost Yeah, tired, October?

361
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: What are we doing wrong? What can we do better?

362
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: You gotta give me like more than thirty seconds, because

363
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: I flew up here, Dady to do this damn shot.

364
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 1: I called it. You gotta give you the Okay, I know,

365
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: here's I'm talking now about the home grown terror stuff. Okay,

366
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: I've heard everything about everybody else and I've been doing

367
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 1: that my whole life. Here's the phrase, and you need

368
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: to remember this. Sometimes you need to become what you

369
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: aren't in order to protect and ensure the future survival

370
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: of what you actually are. That's the principle behind self defense.

371
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: It's also principind a lot of wars. We do it,

372
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: but we don't want to. You do what is necessary

373
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: now before anybody calls me in is Lama fobe. I've

374
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: spent most of my a lot of my adult life

375
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: over in the Middle East. I've lived with Arabs, I've

376
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: trained their soldiers, I fought, I've bled, I've watched them die.

377
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: As a green brain medic, I've delivered their babies, pulled

378
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: their teeth and not cleave their farm animals straight. And

379
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: I've I've helped them the whole time. So don't ever

380
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: call me an islamaphobe for what I'm about to say,

381
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: because probably most of you have never done what I've done.

382
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm getting a little militant about it. Here's

383
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: the thing. You've got to understand what's going on over there.

384
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: You've got to understand them people talking to talking heads.

385
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: You don't know what they how these folks inc. They

386
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: are worried about their family, their clan, and their tribe.

387
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: They do not have a national identity. That's why that's

388
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: that's a hard sell. And most Middle Eastern countries are

389
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: either kingdoms, theocracies or or dictatorships because you have to

390
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: crush them to hold them together. Fast forward to the

391
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: guys who are living here in the West. The killers,

392
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: not the regular Islamic people. What do they care about?

393
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: They hate the country they live in their words, not mine,

394
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: their actions, not mine. What do they care about? They

395
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: care about the family. They care about that group. So

396
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: anytime one of these guys does this, that whole family

397
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: gets picked up and deported back to the country of origin.

398
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you something the way here today.

399
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: This isn't some America, right, I do what is necessary

400
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: green Bray's or problem solvers. I talked to my driver

401
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: coming in from an airport. He's from Pakistan. I know

402
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: a little bit about Pakistan. He was surprised. I even

403
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: knew where he came by in his name. We're talking

404
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: back and forth in a friendly way, and I posited

405
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: this to him. You know what he said? He goes

406
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: that would work. They know, they know what it is.

407
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: And right now there's no impetus in the United States

408
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: or the Western europe countries for the Muslim community as

409
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: a whole to actually do something about this, because as

410
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: soon as one of them kills we we mourn, we

411
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: put up our emojis, and then we tell the rest

412
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: of them we love you, we don't want to hurt you.

413
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: And that's that's the way it goes. Does anybody know

414
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: what happened to San Bernardino family, the Pulse night club killer,

415
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: the Boston Marathon. They're all still here right, Move them out,

416
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you now, you take from them what

417
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: they care about and it will slow down, if not stop.

418
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: Good point a place into what we were just talking

419
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: a little. He's he's got more of a detailed plan,

420
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: but my sentiments are in line with his. You definitely

421
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: there has to be repercussions to their actions. If they

422
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: don't fear death, then what other repercussion you can have

423
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: aside from death? But how does that I'm just wondering,

424
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: how does that point that people were here? Because I

425
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: think what he was saying, my my my point is embarrassment,

426
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, Shane Um the fact that he just literally

427
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: done generations of work to that name, to that family,

428
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: because everything they had to go through to even get

429
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: into this country in the first place is literally undone

430
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: with one action. Once you start setting a precedence that

431
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: you know, if you have someone in your family that

432
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: commits such an atrocity, your whole family will get deported.

433
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: That is going to force that family to start policing

434
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: their own I didn't think that that is. That's exactly

435
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: the point, and I agree with it. If there's nothing

436
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: else we can do, I'd rather do this than live

437
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: with the notion that this is going to become a

438
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: new norm. And I have to just honestly, when I

439
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: heard what happened, I didn't feel anything. It's getting to

440
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: that point where there's just no more anger in me anymore.

441
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: There's no more. It's not absurd, it's just like it's

442
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: it's just the frequency in which it's occurring. It's just ridiculous.

443
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: And now it's to the point where we're getting desensitized

444
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: to it. And I don't want that to happen because

445
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: they we're gonna get comfortable with it and it's gonna

446
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: get worse. So I'd rather live with that than with

447
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: the latter. You know, the truth is, you start putting it,

448
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: and you start putting the ball in their court, and

449
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: I guarantee you they're gonna stop deflating it, you know, Yeah,

450
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: I think you're right. Um, all right, So I have

451
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: other stuff I want to get to. However, we have

452
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: Donnie O'Malley coming on in like four minutes or so,

453
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: so um, the email that I want to get to

454
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: will get to next. I also want to get into

455
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: this Dennis Rodman being asked well, asking to be a

456

00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,479
Speaker 1: I started that wrong. I fucking hate having a boss.

561
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: The notion of anyone being in charge of me is like,

562
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: it's like this, like someone telling me they're gonna take

563
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: the guns away, like it it makes my skin crawl.

564
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: That's funny, manimals. So just to give you an intro

565
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: for the people who are who are wondering about Donnie,

566
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's a huge crossover between our audience.

00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: Of course that you know loves your stuff, and I

568

570
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: on before, and you know, I think it's safe to

571
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: say you're in that same category of you know, veteran

572
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: comedy and Jason and I were talking about before we

573
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: brought you on. There's certain things that I think everybody

574
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: could enjoy that you're doing, but then there's other stuff

575
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: that really only veterans are going to understand, which is

576
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: cool though. So Donnie O'Malley, former Marine captain, also runs

577
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,440

578
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,200

608
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: all maintained this the same, uh like same New York

609
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: Catholic blue collar attitude that is just full of comedy,

610
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: NonStop laughter, very dark humor. You know, we would place

611
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: bets on who was the next family member to die

612
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: at every funeral um. But you know, but there was

613
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: no like we didn't have the other elements of your

614
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: typical uh, you know, lower middle class or maybe upper

615
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,239
Speaker 1: lower class family. You know, there was no abuse. Um,

616
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: tons and tons of alcoholism, like terrible amounts of alcoholism.

617
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: But just like, the family is where everything stems from.

618
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: And I've been thinking about that more and more lately.

619
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: I'm just so grateful for the family that I was

620
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: given or born into, because that's where all the comedy

621
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: comes from. And I go back to New York one

622
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: or two times a year and I hang out with

623
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: some of my cousins, you know, guys who are these

624
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: big giant men who have been doing some sort of

625
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: construction job their entire lives. And I watched them at

626
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: the bar telling stories, and it's like I could hire

627
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: every single fucking one of them to be in one

628
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: of my shows or one of uh an act in

629
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: a stand up tour. Every one of them has that talent.

630
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: So it just runs in the family. I give it

631
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: all to them. I think I think it goes it

632
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: goes back to like our affinity for like Mafia movies

633
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: and just growing up in that culture where you know,

634
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: these guys would tell stories, but they always had that

635
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: punch line. So I think, help over here, like we

636
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: we knew the importance of the punch line. You know. Yes,

637
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: that's true, man, it's natural storytellers. It's wild. Um okay. Certain.

638
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: After that, moved to North Carolina for a little bit,

639
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: um four years there. I Uh, I identified as a

640
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 1: young African American male for a couple of years there. Uh.

641
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: Then came to San Diego when I was twelve and

642
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: been here ever since. I went to college Santego State.

643
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: I was I was president of my fraternity twice, like

644
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: total fucking frat boy to the extreme. Education was not

645
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: the uh the forefront of my college experience. And then um,

646
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: and then I worked for a couple of years have

647
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: my own business and just doing triathlon and ship and

648
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: then uh joined the rings. Wow so later on in

649
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: the game and someone like you yeah, yeah, yeah, I

650
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: went in when I was a baby, still wet behind

651
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: the ears. I mean, like I said, he, I mean,

652
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: is it true you were you were a substitute teacher

653
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 1: as well? Yeah, we're at dude, what what what? What state? Um?

654
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: It was in San Diego. It was in some really

655
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: rough schools, and that's why I hated it. I just

656
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: wanted to kill the kids. They couldn't do it. Due

657
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: to a buddy of mine's a teacher. Well, he used

658
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: to be a public school teacher. Now he's in charter school,

659
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: and so he's loving charter school because it's like sucking

660
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: militant over there. It's a business above anything. But he

661
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 1: was a public school teacher and he used to invite

662
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: me over to talk to the kids, like, you know,

663
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: motivationally or whatever. Bro, this is the scariest thing in

664
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 1: the world. These kids are like out of control. Yeah, dude,

665
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,879

670
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 1: classroom and I just want to like, I was excited

671
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: to be a good influence on them because my mother, um,

672
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:18,040

Speaker 1: the hood. She tried. She tried the white schools. It

680
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: didn't work out. She only lasted a couple of months.

681
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: You know, she would like smack a kid upside the

682
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: head or grab him by the ear or something and

683
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: tell them the shut up, and the parents complaining she

684
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: out so So you know, I grew up visiting my

685
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: mother in these schools, and I was so excited to

686
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: to get in there and be a good influence on

687
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: these kids. I didn't care so much about teaching the subjects,

688
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: although I love teaching. I just wanted to be a

689
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: positive role model for them. And I walk in this classroom,

690
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: the teacher tells me, all right, so here's what I

691
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: want you to do. All these kids failed their tests.

692
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: Every single student in the class except for maybe one

693
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: or to fail the test. Most of them got like below.

694
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: So she said, I'm giving them the opportunity to retake

695
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: the test with an open book. Okay, they got an

696
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: hour and a half of an open book and they

697
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: can get as high as a sea. So I come

698
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: in there and explain this to the kids. UH set

699
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: the timer, and they sit there and funk off like

700
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: they they you know the term zero fox nobody everyone

701
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: in the military, they're all fucking full of shit. Everyone

702
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: gives fox. You know who doesn't give a fuck? Some

703
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: kid in the in the in the public school in

704
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 1: the hood. That kid really doesn't give a fuck because

705
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 1: he sits there all of this entire class from my kids,

706
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: sitting there looking at the opportunity to pass a test

707
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: and saying, nah, I don't give a fuck. And then

708
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: I hug around, I give a motivational speech on why

709
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 1: it's important for them to at least try to get

710
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: the sea, and um, sometime in the middle of my speech,

711
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: I get a fucking eracer thrown am and I lost

712
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: my ship, and I like clenched up like I was

713
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: gonna fight someone, and I think I called them losers,

714
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: and UH told them they were never gonna be anything

715
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: more than a loser if they didn't take school seriously.

716
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: And ship and I only lasted. I was a sub

717
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: like maybe five more times, and I was I got

718
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: out of the game man, Like I tried it, It's

719
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: not for me. Gotta go Nope, dude, that's gotta be Like.

720
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: You know what's crazy the fact that you could have

721
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: a successful career in the fucking Marine Corps you don't

722
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: last much time as a substitute teacher. People. This is crazy, man.

723
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: Those kids are nuts. So it's the truth. Truth takes

724
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: so much like genuine heart and patience. It's wild. And

725
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: my mother has been doing her entire life. My brother

726
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: has been doing it for for eight years. I just

727
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: I admire them so much because when I was a

728
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 1: personal trainer, I actually had a bunch of clients who

729
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: were school teachers in San Diego Unified, which is the

730
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: district the biggest district and and someone that has all

731
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 1: the schools in the hood and with the gang problems

732
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: and ship and uh uh. I had three of them quit,

733
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: and all they ever talked about was how much they

734
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: hated the kids and how miserable they were. They would

735
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: fucking you know, they would try to discipline the kids,

736
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: and then a parent would come into the middle of

737
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: the classroom and start cursing out to the teacher for

738
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: disciplining the child. Then the teacher would go to the principle,

739
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: and the principle would have the parents back because the

740
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: parents would suit the school. So it's like it's a

741
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: completely failed system. And uh and and some people do

742
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: it for decades. Man, it's nuts. God bless him. Yeah, man,

743
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how the hell they could do it.

744
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: I don't know how my best bud does it. But

745
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: you know, it takes a special resilient kind of person

746
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: to be a teacher. I gotta tell you. So, Donnie,

747
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: talk to me about the Marine Corps. Talk to me

748
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: about being an infantry officer. I'm so intrigued in that

749
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 1: because you have such a fucking sense of humor. How

750
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 1: did you work it out? How did you get to

751
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: lighten up or you know, you had to keep some

752
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: sort of like stoic persona in order to get things

753
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: moving or were you just doing things your own way? Um? No,

754
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 1: I definitely And this was you know, the most challenging

755
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: part of my military experience was having to suppress some

756
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: of my personality. And uh, you know, I was My

757
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: father was an infantry officer many years ago. His empty

758
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 1: officer then became a doctor in the Navy, so his personality, uh,

759
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: naturally lent. He was you know how they teach you

760
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 1: like officer like, you don't just turn it off. That's

761
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: the way my dad is naturally he is that guy.

762
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: Um So I observed that growing up, and I knew

763
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: what it meant to be a professional and to be

764
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: a quote officer when necessary and completely shut off the

765
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: humor and you know, and and to be a fucking

766
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: boss when needed. And so I was able to It

767
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: was just a switch. And uh, you know, I was

768
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: constantly flipping the switch on and off, which is exactly

769
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: what they trained us not to do. But I couldn't

770
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: help it because that is just not my personality. I

771
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: just had to flip the switch when appropriate. And sometimes

772
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: sometimes I would suck it up and I would uh,

773
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: I would have it flipped the wrong way. But but

774
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: very few instances I was well, I like to think

775
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 1: we have to go back to some of my marines

776
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: and ask them what they thought. Their Their perception is

777
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: probably you know, there's so it doesn't mean you know

778
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: who's right and wrong, you know what I mean, That's

779
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: one thing I learned throughout the years. Sure, sure, but

780
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: I mean I'm still close with almost every marine I

781
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: ever served with. They still reach out to me for

782
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: any number of things, from college admissions to job references

783
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: to fucking we're acting with me and stuff. You know

784
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: I've had. I've employed two of my machine gunners, UM

785
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: and UH, and my goal was to employ a whole

786
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: lot more of the of the boys I served with UM,

787
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: so you know, I have a good rep with them.

788
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,919
Speaker 1: I just I just mean, like I'd like to know

789
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more about UM when they thought I

790
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: was being too fucking too immature, like when I should

791
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 1: have turned on the officer mode because I thought it

792
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: was pretty good about it. If I was in fun

793
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: of them, I had switch flipped in the right direction

794
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: for the most part. You got to cut back with

795
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: your your staff and CEOs a lot though, right because

796
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 1: I can imagine I'll probably your only outlet to work

797
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: around with those guys, oh man, staff and CEOs and

798
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: other lieutenants we had, especially in Afghanistan the time of

799
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: our fucking lines, we had so much fun together. We

800
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: had such good staff, and though I was so fortunate,

801
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: all the staff and CEOs, the platoon sergeants were just

802
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: bad motherfucker's man. They've been irapped two three times plus

803
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: Afghan and Um, you know they were able to to

804
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: bust our balls as lieutenants but still respect us as men. Yes, Um,

805
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: it's a fine it's a fine line. It's definitely a

806
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: skill to have as a staff and CEO. You gotta

807
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,760
Speaker 1: be able to be you know, get your point across,

808
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: you know. But he's still you know, walk on their

809
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: night's a bit, just a bit. Yeah, yeah, it really

810
00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: it's it's a crazy thing, crazy balance. But we uh,

811
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: we did it well. I actually ended up becoming on

812
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 1: my first appointment, which it was IMU, I became very

813
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: close with my buddies platoon sergeant, and he's become one

814
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: of my best friends this day. I gotta tell you,

815
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: if I was one of your marines, I don't know

816
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: how you'll get me off your fucking couch. I would

817
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 1: never leave you out. Now, what's the next project? Boss? Uh?

818
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: So I got out, I got out the Marine Corps,

819
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: and it took me a while to figure out, or

820
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: should I say, to cut the umbilical cord and to

821
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: figure out that I wanted to go a totally different

822
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: direction with my life. So it took me a couple

823
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 1: of years to realize that I wanted, you know, delve

824
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: into art and just kind of like immerse myself in

825
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: that and kind of lose the military, you know what

826
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: I mean? Um, was anything like that? Did anything like

827
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: that occur for you? Like when you got out? Was

828
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 1: there a period where you just he was just like lost,

829
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: you didn't know what to do until it hit you

830
00:44:55,160 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: fuck comedy, dude. Nope, it was that right away. No,

831
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: because because here's the thing, man, I'm very fortunate, and

832
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: that's part of why, you know, I get asked. Um.

833
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: I used to ask more frequently, but uh, you know,

834
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: well a lot of civilian reporters assumed you know, well,

835
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: well I'm sure you know, helping people's been you know,

836
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 1: really cathartic for all of your issues, and I'm like, actually,

837
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: I don't have any issues. Um, I never really did.

838
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: I mean maybe for like the first month when I

839
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: came home two months, maybe when I came home from Afghanistan,

840
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: I felt a little different around certain people and I

841
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: just didn't want to be around him. But I have

842
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 1: no issues. Man, I'm so fucking lucky. It's luck, dude.

843
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: You know, you know some yeah, some guys don't have issues.

844
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: Some guys you know that, I see it all the time.

845
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: Those guys have been in twenty plus years with like

846
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 1: five six deployments under their belt, and they're cool. You know,

847
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: I definitely get it. What I meant was, when did

848
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 1: it dawn on you that you wanted to do comedy?

849
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: You wanted to kind of like hit the lights, which

850
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: you go from being a serious disciplinary and which you

851
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 1: probably you know you you had to be at some

852
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: point a little bit. You know, we're just talking about

853
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: that officer wise, but like really sitting there and saying,

854
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: I gotta let this ship go. I gotta be me

855
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: and you know, not be scared or think about what

856
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: other motherfucker's think about me, because I want to go

857
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: this route. You know, you understand. I mean, yes, Um, okay,

858
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: So again I'm very lucky easy because um, I was

859
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: a wounded warrior battalion for a year and a half

860
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: before I got out, and I was never hit by

861
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: enemy fire. I just kept breaking and I never stopped.

862
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: I never Uh oh, that's not true. The the second

863
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: time I broke my ankle, I broke it like five UM.

864
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: I missed one day and it was like one little

865
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,240
Speaker 1: evolution to in the m A I course, in quanticle

866
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: other than that I just kept destroying myself and and

867
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: then just ended up and wartime they were like, yeah,

868
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: you're not gonna go to the grunts anymore. We're gonna

869
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: have to la movie you. And I was like, no,

870
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 1: I didn't join the Marine Corps or not be in

871
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 1: the fucking infantry. So they said, we can retire you,

872
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: and I was like, tell me more. And I did that.

873
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: Um so I and Wounded Warrior Battalion. I had the

874
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: luxury of a year and a half to figure out

875
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: what I wanted to do with my life. But I

876
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: didn't really need to figure anything out. I knew, but

877
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: I was like nineteen years old. My dream was to

878
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: create what Adam Sandler created, Happy Madison Productions, which is

879
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: a production company that makes comedies. They staffed with my

880
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 1: friends and family, and I wanted to make movies. I

881
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: wanted to make the greatest. I'm a filmmaker at my core,

882
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: and it's because the way I view life since a

883
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: young age has almost been through the lens of a camera.

884
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:10,399
Speaker 1: I see a movie playing, and I've through through all

885
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,760
Speaker 1: of the most intense experiences of my life. I felt

886
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 1: like I was watching the movie and at in that moment,

887
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: I thought about how I would make this movie, how

888
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 1: I will turn what I'm experiencing right now into a movie.

889
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: That's how I lived my life and experience everything and

890
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: have since I was nineteen. So my initial plan was

891
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:36,760
Speaker 1: I wanted to be in the Marines for ten years.

892
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: My my my dream was marsok. Uh. Back then it

893
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: was a five year commitments, was what they were doing.

894
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: So I figured, you know, four years and agoing through

895
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: your training, five years of marsok and get out that

896
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a teacher and a coach, and

897
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 1: then when I retired from that, then I would pursue

898
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 1: my dreams and film. But after my experiences in the

899
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,439
Speaker 1: Marine Corps, when I always kind of just because I'm

900
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 1: fucking sick, funk, I just kind of thought I was

901
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: gonna die. While I was in the Marine Corps, I

902
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: was just ready for it, you know, like I've lived

903
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:11,320
Speaker 1: an awesome life and and so now like I realized

904
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: that when after my my first big surgery on my ankle,

905
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm gonna live, Like, and if I'm gonna live,

906
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: the only fucking thing I'm gonna do is chase my dream.

907
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: My dream is to own that big company and make film.

908
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: So uh, so I started. I had the luxury. Again,

909
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,720
Speaker 1: this is not a typical experience, so I'm I'm so fortunate.

910
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: I took forty three units of classes in a year

911
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 1: and a half, UM in a year and a half

912
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 1: while active duty captain, while going through three surgeries, and

913
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: uh fucking all as one b and it was all film.

914
00:49:55,920 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: It was. It was in production, directing, writing, drama. Yeah,

915
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: I went to film school too. Yeah that's cool, man.

916
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,720
Speaker 1: And and it's hard. A lot of people don't realize,

917
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:10,320
Speaker 1: like film is not easy. And then not only that,

918
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: the fucking technology keeps changing every year with the software,

919
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: and everything's like one minute you're using final cut, the

920
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: next minute Avis is sucking the bee's knees, and then

921
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 1: after that, so for you, like what the hell is

922
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 1: going on? Yep, it's like, you know, it's like any

923
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 1: perfective I would say professional industry, Actually no, that's not

924
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: true any regardless of your industry. It's like, if you

925
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: want to be at the top of the business, you

926
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: have to be a lifelong learner and constantly staying ahead

927
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:46,720
Speaker 1: of the game. And film is no different. So um,

928
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: I also took UM in addition to those classes that

929
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: I was taking. I also knew like I basically created

930
00:50:55,640 --> 00:51:00,439
Speaker 1: a plan for myself. I was like, I am gonna

931
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: go to l A like everyone else does and try

932
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: to make it. I fucking at It's that. That to

933
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: me was like death. So I was like, I'm gonna

934
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 1: make myself and I'm gonna do it using the only

935
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: talent that I have right now, which is storytelling. And

936
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 1: so I was writing my story as an email, sending

937
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: them to my friends. Um, I've always been that guy,

938
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 1: you know, at a party telling surrounded by six dudes,

939
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: telling some fucking self deprecating story. UM, usually about me

940
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 1: sticking my dick and a woman that was at least

941
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: twice my weight and blowing prematurely. Was this in? Uh yeah?

942
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,160
Speaker 1: So you were pretty much a fucking marine from birth.

943
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Bro, I've been a proud minute man,

944
00:51:55,880 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: and I've been a proud supporter of women five and

945
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 1: below since I was sixteen. Somebody it was, it was,

946
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:11,240
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's a natural fit joined the fucking grunts. Man,

947
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: did you fit right in? Man? It was like Cinderella's

948
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 1: glass shoe. You showed up and I was like, this

949
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: is my fucking lieutenant, this is crazy. Um yeah, you know.

950
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,959
Speaker 1: And looking back, I should have brought a fucking three

951
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 1: pound effort to the ball. That would have just completed

952
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:35,479
Speaker 1: my Marine Corps experience. The cycle would have been done

953
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 1: right there. So vet TV talk to me about that, brother. Um, So,

954
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: Vett TV was highly accelerated. Um, you know, not procreational.

955
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: I'm blowing the word right now. Manifestation of my the

956
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: dream that I thought I would make reality when I

957
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: was fifty. Um. And and and it's also a different market.

958
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:11,240
Speaker 1: I never I never intended to just make stuff for veterans,

959
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 1: but it was like, after my military experience and knowing

960
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 1: that that I experienced those six years in the Marine

961
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 1: Corps with such a sense of humor, it was just natural.

962
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: It all started with I just started writing a blog,

963
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 1: and I knew that I would build an audience and

964
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 1: I would uh, my stories would just get around through

965
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:35,919
Speaker 1: word of mouth, and then I would turn the blog

966
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,399
Speaker 1: into a book, and then another book, and another book

967
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,720
Speaker 1: and another book, and I would say I would continue

968
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: to build the audience. Save the money from my books.

969
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: I self published everything, and then I would use that

970
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 1: money to then make short films and then eventually bigger films,

971
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,359
Speaker 1: and that's how I would get to my dream. And

972
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: that's kind of exactly what happened, except I only wrote

973
00:53:55,120 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 1: one book. That book, Um, it ended up my my, my,

974
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: my biggest fan of the blog, a good friend of

975
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: mine fucking smoked himself. So I actually redid the book

976
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: a month before release, and I had I added him

977
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,399
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's just a comedy about my last

978
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: combat up and then I turned it into a message

979
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: about suicide awareness and prevention. And then the last part

980
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: of the book is actually a step by step, actionable

981
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 1: plan that the Marine Corps could take to reduce suicide.

982
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,800
Speaker 1: And I was just like, you know, I know people

983
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 1: are going to read this book because I know my

984
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 1: ship is funny, so I might as well include something

985
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 1: beneficial to our community while I have their attention. I

986
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: feel like that's got to be a hard thing to do,

987
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 1: to walk the line between making a book that's funny,

988
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,839
Speaker 1: that's veteran humor, but then also add in this very

989
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 1: dark but serious problem. You know, I feel like that's

990
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: got to be a hard thing to do because you're

991
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 1: writing a book you want people to laugh, and then

992
00:54:56,080 --> 00:55:00,320
Speaker 1: at the very end, hey, suicide awareness for veterans important

993
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:01,879
Speaker 1: like how do you do that? How do you weave

994
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:07,959
Speaker 1: that together? Um? I didn't. Let's see, I didn't. I

995
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: to put simply, I had a message about it in

996
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: the preface. Then each chapter was a different story that

997
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 1: part of the same experience that it all took took

998
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 1: place over like four or five days, and then in

999
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:30,240
Speaker 1: between each chapter was a uh the name of somebody

1000
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: who had smoked themselves. And then at the end of

1001
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,359
Speaker 1: the book there was a wrap up. So it's like

1002
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 1: the only thing to like break away from the actual

1003
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 1: story and the humor would have been the the messages,

1004
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: the or the like the little memorials in between each chapter.

1005
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: But you know the way, I fucking this, this is

1006
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: what I thought as I was doing because I had

1007
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: the same thought that that you just said. I was like,

1008
00:55:56,480 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: we in the military, but especially the grunts, like you

1009
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: become accustomed to going through moments of incredible um seriousness

1010
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:12,880
Speaker 1: and heartache. You know, when someone gets hit, it's like,

1011
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you don't when you're in the fucking

1012
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: the heat of the battle, you're not fucking you know,

1013
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 1: you're not worried about or you're not sad, but well, all,

1014
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 1: he's not me, I know, man, maybe I'm sure many

1015
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,399
Speaker 1: people are. But it's like after the battle, then it's

1016
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: just fucking miserable, and then like the next day, you're

1017
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:33,320
Speaker 1: sucking back to work, you know, and then the jokes

1018
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: are fucking flying again, and then your se your battle,

1019
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: you're fucking intensive, fuck and then uh, you come down,

1020
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 1: and then you're making jokes and intensive fucking someone gets hit,

1021
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:46,319
Speaker 1: you come down, you're making jokes. So it's like I

1022
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:50,280
Speaker 1: felt like I wasn't making this book for anyone but grunts.

1023
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 1: I did not give a funk a single person read it.

1024
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: And that's why the book hits so hard, was because

1025
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,280
Speaker 1: I didn't try to make it for everyone. I spoke

1026
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 1: typically to the grunts and uh, especially combat grunts who

1027
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 1: had shared this experience, and I knew that that I

1028
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,400
Speaker 1: could get away with it in this book, and then

1029
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 1: that's how it ended up working out. Dude. That's and

1030
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 1: that's right up from what I understand. That's right up

1031
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 1: your your alley. You know. To me, it's natural the

1032
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: way you take dark subjects and spin the humor on them,

1033
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 1: the comedy on them, and like you said, that is

1034
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: extremely indicative to infantry Marines. That's what we do. It's

1035
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 1: an emotional roller coaster. One minute, you're in a firefight,

1036
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 1: you lose a buddy, you come back to the most

1037
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 1: somber meal in the world in that fob and then

1038
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: you know, right before you hit the rack, you're freaking

1039
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: playing grand theft photo fucking joking around with your friends.

1040
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: And it's just something you have to do. It's nuts,

1041
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 1: you know, and it's to think that that is your reality.

1042
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 1: It really it really throws things into a tail spin,

1043
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, and it's hard to come back from that

1044
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 1: because and and so I think that's why we we

1045
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: we grasp dark humor so much. You know, it's us

1046
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: not taking the serious things we've done too serious. Yeah, yeah,

1047
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: I was gonna say the episode that we did with

1048
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: Jesse Davenport Jason. You know, I think for the average

1049
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 1: civilian listening to that, where you guys are laughing about

1050
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 1: smoking guys as snipers, I think people would be pretty

1051
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: shocked that you're able to laugh about that stuff. But

1052
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: as as like the lone civilian here, you know, I

1053
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 1: I haven't experienced what you've experienced, so I don't I

1054
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: don't get why how you're able to see humor in this,

1055
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: but it's it's almost like a coping mechanism. Yeah, and

1056
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 1: and and I think it is more so than anything

1057
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 1: but the ship. After a while, it genuinely becomes funny.

1058
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 1: Like I'm sure Donnie could attest to that. The ship

1059
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 1: is hilarious. Man. It's like the the oxy the barrage

1060
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: of oxy morons all day long. When you're serving and

1061
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 1: in a fucking war zone, it's like like you have

1062
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: the fucking what was that? Uh, the dude, it's like

1063
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: mash first off your show now at Hearts and mind right,

1064
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 1: So what it's called? Dude, that's that's the perfect title

1065
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 1: because that that speaks and this is something a lot

1066
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 1: of civilians won't get. That speaks to and and correct

1067
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. That speaks to the irony of

1068
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 1: what we do in these some of these countries, like

1069
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 1: we try, you know, we go out there and believe me,

1070
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: all the higher ups, all the people want you know,

1071
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:25,919
Speaker 1: you know, above Donnie's pay grade, you know, but they're

1072
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: he's they're they're dictating to him, with delegating to him.

1073
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: What how we're supposed to act. We're supposed to hand

1074
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 1: out these soccer balls? We're supposed to, you know, buy

1075
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: these guys computers and you know, help him out and

1076
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: help the women out and all this good ship, and

1077
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: you know, we generally get wrapped up into that and

1078
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 1: then next thing, you know, it's like, I don't think

1079
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 1: these people kind of want what we want. You know,

1080
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they don't want what we want, you know,

1081
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 1: And it's just it's just ridiculous. And you have to

1082
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 1: hang onto that. That that that mantra Hearts and Minds.

1083
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 1: He's like, nah, funk that, dude. We're smoking all these

1084
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 1: bitches and getting out of here up, dude. It is

1085
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: like the perfect fucking title. Speaking on that, Talk to

1086
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,680
Speaker 1: me how that came about, because, like I said to me,

1087
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 1: that is so reminiscent of mash and I think you

1088
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: guys are onto something really crazy there. You know, I

1089
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 1: just want to hear what the hell inspired that and

1090
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 1: how did you come about it? Um So, Hearts and

1091
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: Minds is actually the title of one episode of the

1092
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: show A Grunt's Life and um Grunt's Life, you know,

1093
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: we mm hmmm, you know Vet TV was it was

1094
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 1: is all, you know, an idea in my head for

1095
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: a while, but the actual execution was very very initially

1096
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 1: primarily me and one other filmmaker named Braydon Smith, who

1097
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 1: is now one of my best friends. And uh, this

1098
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: is continued busting his ass off working on our net

1099
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 1: production as we speak. Actually I think they're in a

1100
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 1: writer's meeting. Yes, that just started. So um, he is

1101
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: a grunt from TO seven and he actually his unit

1102
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 1: replaced mine in Afghanistan and we have the exact same

1103
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 1: sense of humor and our We are filmmakers, the way

1104
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 1: we see the world is the same. And as we

1105
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: started talking about these big dreams of what we wanted

1106
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: to create as filmmakers, were like, we have to make

1107
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 1: a show that that every infantryman who has ever served,

1108
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 1: but most specifically postline eleven grunts hold as the holy grail.

1109
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 1: And right now I don't have data to back this up,

1110
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 1: but just based on everyone I've talked to, it seems

1111
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 1: as if Full Metal Jackets and Generation Kill are the

1112
01:01:53,480 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 1: holy grail of entertainment of of both both sides of army.

1113
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 1: Emery jen Kill nailed Post nine eleven warfare, and uh,

1114
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 1: we were like, we have to make something better because

1115
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 1: we don't want to just recreate reality. That's Holly, Hollywood

1116
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: already tries to do that. Um, we want to recreate

1117
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 1: it and parody it and and make light of the

1118
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 1: experience because we're all well aware of the miserable parts

1119
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: of combat, But there were so many parts of combat

1120
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 1: that were so fucking incredible and beautiful and exciting that

1121
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 1: every one of us will look back and wish we

1122
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: had could get that experience again, just for a fucking moment.

1123
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 1: Like if we could just fucking fly to Afghanistan for

1124
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: just a couple of weeks on vacation, you know, I'd

1125
01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 1: blow a hundred grands just to go back and join

1126
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 1: a fun rifling company and get a radio and start

1127
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 1: calling and fires, you know, like I would give anything

1128
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 1: for that. Did that ever make you want to do

1129
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 1: any contracting like Jason has, because I think for some

1130
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 1: guys like they do miss that rush. Now that's why

1131
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 1: we always go back, man, Yep, exactly why. But um,

1132
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: none of the contracting jobs that I was eligible for

1133
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 1: without having Specops experience, we're worth my time. It was

1134
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 1: all post shit. It was all you're an infantry officer,

1135
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 1: so you're good at at planning and running operations and stuff.

1136
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 1: And uh, that was those are all the jobs that

1137
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:36,800
Speaker 1: I was looking at. I talked to a couple of

1138
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: recruiters and I was just like, no, I don't want

1139
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 1: to do that I was trying to do. I'm sorry,

1140
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 1: go ahead, No, No, I don't mean to cut you off.

1141
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I just wanted to mention the brass

1142
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 1: is kind of what screwed you on that, because you know,

1143
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 1: being one of the guys that you know, we look

1144
01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 1: at resumes and all that stuff. Once I see a

1145
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 1: marine captain come across my desk, there's no way in

1146
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 1: hell I'm putting you straight on mobile or some fucking

1147
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 1: drop arm. Details not happy, and you're we're gonna start

1148
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: grooming you for what you probably don't want to do,

1149
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:08,240
Speaker 1: which is like talk operations and like that. Yeah. So

1150
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna tell you you guys are gonna get

1151
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 1: a kick out of this. This is just an illusion

1152
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 1: to what a sick funk I am. So what I

1153
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 1: really wanted. I wanted the jungle just because I don't know,

1154
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:22,160
Speaker 1: probably from watching Vietnam war movies. That was my first

1155
01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 1: introduction to war and in the Marine corps. Um, I

1156
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 1: just want to fight in the jungle, right, So I

1157
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,080
Speaker 1: just developed this fantasy in my head of going to

1158
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 1: South America somewhere and like joining some fucking South American

1159
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: UM little militia and setting in traps on an ambushes

1160
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 1: on drug smugglers. And I started looking at UM. I

1161
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 1: totally forgot I did this. So I was looking at

1162
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 1: Dinah Corps because it Dina Corps did a lot down

1163
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 1: South and nothing. Then I started looking at Catholic missions

1164
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 1: and contacting Catholic missions directly to ask them who provided

1165
01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 1: security for them? And uh, and then I was going

1166
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 1: to uh talk my way into fucking providing security for

1167
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 1: Catholic mission, probably get them all killed in the process

1168
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 1: by the time I showed up, and then that would

1169
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 1: be my way of getting in with some of the

1170
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: militias and guerrillas down there. That was what went through

1171
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 1: my head. That's what a sick am. Of course, none

1172
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 1: of this came to fruition. You're yeah, but it seems

1173
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:36,920
Speaker 1: like it worked out. It seems like it worked out

1174
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 1: for the Do you speak fluent Spanish? No, I used

1175
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 1: to be pretty fluent. Um. I lost it, but I

1176
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: can get it back really quick. Yeah, let's say, man,

1177
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 1: that will definitely help down the South America. But you know,

1178
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 1: needless to say those uh, those aspirations are gone, right,

1179
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:56,920
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, I'm dude, I'm I'm I'm such a

1180
01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 1: fucking pussy now. It's disgusting. The just the other night,

1181
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 1: I was at the grocery store and uh, I bought

1182
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 1: two frozen meals and I put him on the thing

1183
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 1: and I'm going to check out, and I'm with a

1184
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 1: girl and she grabs the bananas that I bought. We

1185
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 1: were high, we bought like bananas, matela and fucking uh

1186
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:26,720
Speaker 1: and microwavable gourmet dinners, right, and so so she grabs

1187
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 1: bananas and I go to grab my frozen dinners. The

1188
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 1: women didn't give me a bag. And we walked there

1189
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 1: and I think to myself for a second, oh no,

1190
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 1: that's gonna make my hands cold on the walk home.

1191
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: So maybe I should ask for a bag. That's what

1192
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 1: a fucking pussy I've become. No, I don't. I don't agree.

1193
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call you a pussy. I mean, that's like

1194
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: my friends over here, just because I'm sucking from New York,

1195
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 1: it starts sucking snowing anywhere and they're like, oh, aren't

1196
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:54,040
Speaker 1: you from fucking New York. Why are you shivering, bitch?

1197
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 1: Because I go inside the house once it starts sucking

1198
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 1: snow and this heat in there like no, you know,

1199
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: And plus we're out in the fucking woods during our

1200
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 1: career and freezing our ass off, wet and ship and shivering,

1201
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 1: and who the funk ever wants to be uncomfortable again?

1202
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 1: If you don't got to do it intentionally, you know

1203
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 1: what I mean? I get it. I get it. Man,

1204
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 1: it's not pussy. Mental toughness I had is gone. You

1205
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 1: don't need it. Funk that ship, yeah, yeah, you can

1206
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 1: smoke bud and bang hot chach all day long. Congratulations,

1207
01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 1: all through love and you made it was Valhalla fairy Tales.

1208
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,400
Speaker 1: Was that your biggest like skin or the one that

1209
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 1: kind of put you on the map, because that was

1210
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: the one I couldn't do. I watched that ship like

1211
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: dirty times. It had me crying. Man, Oh wait wait

1212
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 1: that wait? Was that? Um that's the yeah, that's the

1213
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 1: one where you were doing the brief and the fucking

1214
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:57,960
Speaker 1: turp was there and ship and the um no, what

1215
01:07:58,080 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 1: put me on the map was the one that was

1216
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:02,200
Speaker 1: The second one was the first one. It was a

1217
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 1: mockumentary on the first female to graduate infantry. End to

1218
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: that one, that was a good one, I think I

1219
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 1: think the other one was better though, Man, that ship,

1220
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:17,320
Speaker 1: I think that one right there is more in line

1221
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:19,600
Speaker 1: with what you're doing now. It's like that humor that

1222
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 1: only we could appreciate. I think people were looking at

1223
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:24,519
Speaker 1: that like, why does he keep telling his turkey's gonna

1224
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:30,439
Speaker 1: kill him? For sure? That one, Um, it was more

1225
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:37,679
Speaker 1: targeted to combat infantrymen, and that's what helped me develop

1226
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 1: more die hard to following amongst infantrymen. Nice. So, yeah,

1227
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:45,600
Speaker 1: the one thing I was going to ask before he

1228
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 1: wrapped this up, Jason was talking about it with me.

1229
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 1: We've talked about it in past that past episodes. Um,

1230
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:53,919
Speaker 1: the social media biased stuff, you know, when you're blasting

1231
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:56,759
Speaker 1: stuff out, and we've seen it with Soft rep Um.

1232
01:08:56,800 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 1: You know, we have a huge following on Facebook and elsewhere,

1233
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 1: but it's gotten to the point where they're specifically taking

1234
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 1: down stuff that literally promotes manliness or or in some

1235
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 1: cases if there's like a gun pointed at his screen,

1236
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:13,559
Speaker 1: they're like, this is intimidating. We don't want it. I'm

1237
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:16,559
Speaker 1: sure you've seen it with YouTube, demonetizing videos even more

1238
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 1: than we have because we don't do as much on

1239
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 1: YouTube as you. But I just wanted to hear your

1240
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:33,760
Speaker 1: perspective on that ship. Um, so we haven't experienced. I

1241
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 1: can't relate to what you just said about taking down

1242
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 1: stuff promoting manliness. We don't promote manness. We promote terrible

1243
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 1: war crimes and gratuitous sex. Um. But uh WHOA part

1244
01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 1: of what is um of why that TV had to

1245
01:09:57,439 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 1: be done the way it is done now, with with

1246
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:08,719
Speaker 1: it being a private, subscription based network, is because it's ours.

1247
01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 1: We have zero regulations on our content except we can't

1248
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 1: do porn. However, we are going to be moving to

1249
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 1: a new platform within the next year where we own everything.

1250
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 1: Um and uh it's we're partnering up with a couple other,

1251
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 1: another big veteran brand. I don't know if I'm allowed

1252
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:39,760
Speaker 1: to say, but um uh we will own it. So

1253
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:43,559
Speaker 1: if we wanted to do porn, we fucking can't. No

1254
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:46,679
Speaker 1: one can tell us no. When you said another veteran brand.

1255
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 1: I think I have something in mind, but I won't

1256
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 1: say it if you don't want me to. Um, yeah,

1257
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't, all right. I think I have

1258
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:57,360
Speaker 1: a good idea of who it's it's not us, you know,

1259
01:10:57,640 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 1: I'll say that, but I think I have a good

1260
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 1: idea of it. When that dre got drunk in and

1261
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm thinking may be a certain someone I mentioned earlier

1262
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:08,719
Speaker 1: in the interview, I'll just say that maybe he scares

1263
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:11,120
Speaker 1: the fucking shit out of me. And I feel like

1264
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 1: I'm sitting in front of my father when I talked

1265
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:16,599
Speaker 1: to him. So, um, so I'm not going to fucking

1266
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 1: open my mouth any further. That's cool, though, man, that's

1267
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:22,719
Speaker 1: great to see. No, the thing that I was wondering

1268
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 1: actually more like we've been hit on Facebook, but I've

1269
01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 1: seen like the YouTube demonetization stuff and you have certain

1270
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 1: stuff on there that's like hundreds of thousands views that

1271
01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 1: could you know, affect the money that you're making and

1272
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:36,880
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So I mean, if you haven't seen it,

1273
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:41,520
Speaker 1: that's great though. No, when we actually have never monetized

1274
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:47,520
Speaker 1: anything on YouTube, there you go, okay, you don't care. Um,

1275
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 1: everything that you see on social media is just marketing

1276
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 1: to bring people to the paid network to get the

1277
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:57,760
Speaker 1: five dollars a month and so we can continue making

1278
01:11:57,800 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 1: film for the community. Yeah, I think that's the way

1279
01:11:59,920 --> 01:12:02,719
Speaker 1: to do it. Man. So Um. The website once again

1280
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 1: is Veteran tv dot com. If you want to pick

1302
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:10,639

1310
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:43,799
Speaker 1: big chunk of my parents life savings and friends. So

1311
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,320
Speaker 1: that's all I want to plug. Um, it's better in

1312
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:51,000
Speaker 1: TV dot com. Is is the bigger website, the one

1313
01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:54,000
Speaker 1: where you actually do this watching the videos is Veteran

1314
01:13:54,040 --> 01:13:57,840
Speaker 1: TV dot tv um and there's link that's not hard

1315
01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:00,160
Speaker 1: to find. There's links all over dot com, but it's

1316
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 1: um uh the LA. I want what I would like

1317
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 1: for everyone to understand that we are trying to do

1318
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:10,679
Speaker 1: with that TV is create one show for every MOS

1319
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:12,719
Speaker 1: in the military. And that's like the twenty year vision

1320
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:17,799
Speaker 1: because we the grunts and operators have lots of entertainment

1321
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:23,519
Speaker 1: made about that experience. But an army fucking mechanic, army

1322
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:29,040
Speaker 1: motor t or Air Force admin, maybe Navy air wing

1323
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:33,160
Speaker 1: and the enlisted side, they don't have shows made for them.

1324
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 1: And that's our job. We are filmmakers, writers and directors

1325
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:39,840
Speaker 1: and actors and this is our business in the business

1326
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:44,240
Speaker 1: of making shows. So um, the the intent. Although right

1327
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:46,840
Speaker 1: now we only have three shows, in the long term,

1328
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 1: we're going to have dozens to hundreds of shows that

1329
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:54,439
Speaker 1: are made for someone who was served for just some

1330
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 1: short period of time to sit back and watch a

1331
01:14:56,880 --> 01:15:00,680
Speaker 1: show and relive their experience and feel when they're done

1332
01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:03,640
Speaker 1: watching the show. And that's that's why we exist as

1333
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 1: a business. And uh so the more people who subscribe,

1334
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 1: the quicker we can make shows for everyone. Awesome, man,

1335
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:12,880
Speaker 1: well great having a fellow New Yorker on as well.

1336
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:14,920
Speaker 1: I feel like we all share that same humor in

1337
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:17,160
Speaker 1: a way. It's not just the vetter than humor. It's

1338
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:20,080
Speaker 1: definitely the New Yorker thing too, uh coming from like

1339
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 1: all different cultures, I mean just between the three of us, right,

1340
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:25,920
Speaker 1: it's a lot of different cultures there. Yeah, so a

1341
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 1: little heavy on the Hispanic side now, because then you

1342
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 1: got Italian, Irish Jewish. I mean that I feel like

1343
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:34,439
Speaker 1: that's New York right there, like, and I think we

1344

01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:36,000
Speaker 1: stuff I wanted to get to us I mentioned here.

1363
01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 1: So we'll get to it. On Twitter at undiplomatic Gun

1364
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:44,320
Speaker 1: tweeted me at Ian Skato, Uh this Dennis Rodman article

1365
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:48,799
Speaker 1: and this is actually originally from the aph Dennis Rodman

1366
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:53,719
Speaker 1: asked Trump for formal role as North Korea envoy. Dennis Rodman,

1367
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 1: the American basketball player turned freelance diplomat, has urged Donald

1368
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 1: Trump to sign him up as a piece envoy in

1369
01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:04,639
Speaker 1: North Korea after his latest foray into Kim Jong UN's

1370
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 1: hermit kingdom was scuppered by a travel band preventing US

1371
01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:11,559
Speaker 1: citizens from visiting. During an interview with Beijing from where

1372
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 1: Rodman had hoped to fly to pyong Yang for his

1373
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:18,280
Speaker 1: sixth trip there, the former NBA star said US officials

1374
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 1: had discouraged him from doing so amid continuing tensions between

1375
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:25,040
Speaker 1: the countries, and the quote was basically, they said, it's

1376
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:28,040
Speaker 1: not a good time right now. A State Department ban

1377
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 1: on US passport holders visiting North Korea came into force

1378
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:34,639
Speaker 1: in September one after the death of Otto warm Beer.

1379
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:38,200
Speaker 1: You know we know all about that, of course, um.

1380
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 1: But then Dennis says, if I can go back over there,

1381
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 1: you'll see me talk to him, and sitting down and

1382
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:45,760
Speaker 1: having dinner, a glass of wine that guy doesn't love

1383
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:48,920
Speaker 1: to drink, laughing and doing my thing. I guess things

1384
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:51,599
Speaker 1: will settle down a bit and everybody can rest at ease.

1385
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people around the world want

1386
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:57,479
Speaker 1: me to go just to see if I can do something. Uh.

1387
01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 1: Dennis Rodman has been a recurrent theme of this podcast.

1388
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:05,640
Speaker 1: We gotta send him an email, But yeah, what do

1389
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:09,840
Speaker 1: you think of the whole um North Korea ship with him? Dude?

1390
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:13,720
Speaker 1: If he's going over there in no official capacity, you're

1391
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:17,719
Speaker 1: going over there to drink, to fuck and be merry.

1392
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 1: How serious do you think the fucking president is going

1393
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 1: to take him in matters of fucking you know, government

1394
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 1: that is? I feel like foreign affairs though. Yeah, you

1395
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:33,200
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying is I'm not talking about Trump.

1396
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:38,560
Speaker 1: I'm talking about uh Kim Jong un. How he's not

1397
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:41,759
Speaker 1: gonna take fucking Dennis Roman serious as far as fucking

1398
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:44,240
Speaker 1: foreign foreign affairs? You know what I mean? Like, Bro,

1399
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:47,320
Speaker 1: you're coming over here, you probably go through about three

1400
01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:50,679
Speaker 1: or four women a fucking night, you know. To be honest,

1401
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:52,680
Speaker 1: he's been over this six times. Got to be the

1402
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 1: time of his life, you know what I mean? You're

1403
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 1: you're dealing with someone who has their thumb on the

1404
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:58,960
Speaker 1: entire country. I'm sure he can do whatever he wants.

1405
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:01,719
Speaker 1: So where he thinks sees fucking buddy buddy with this guy,

1406
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:05,960
Speaker 1: what I see is nothing's changed whatsoever with his attitude, demeanor,

1407
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:09,839
Speaker 1: you know, as far as his perspective towards the United States,

1408
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, with Dennis Roman coming back and forth, and

1409
01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 1: nothing's fucking changed. And it's not like he says, Hey,

1410
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: Americans are faking cool because you know Dennis Rahman, I

1411
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:18,000
Speaker 1: got to know him, and if they're all like him

1412
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:20,599
Speaker 1: and sucking, they're awesome. No, that hasn't happened yet. It's

1413
01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:22,760
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. I don't I don't see it. I

1414
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 1: gotta ask the big question that I ask everybody when

1415
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:27,320
Speaker 1: we get into this. Have you seen the big banging

1416
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:30,080
Speaker 1: pyeong Yang? I was so good. You gotta watch a

1417
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 1: man go on that big banging Pyongyang. Yes, it's all

1418
01:19:33,080 --> 01:19:36,519
Speaker 1: about Dennis Robbin's trip over there, and uh it is.

1419
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:40,559
Speaker 1: Did it seem theatrical? Did it seemed like dramatized? Well,

1420
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 1: Dennis Rodman is clearly honestly an alcoholic, you know, and

1421
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:48,200
Speaker 1: he goes over there and he he gets completely wasted

1422
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:50,360
Speaker 1: and has the time of his life. And I mean

1423
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:54,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't do a good job representing America by any means. Uh.

1424
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 1: You know. He goes over there sings Happy Birthday to

1425
01:19:57,560 --> 01:20:01,200
Speaker 1: Kim Jong n Uh. The North Korea in attendance are

1426
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:03,519
Speaker 1: clapping along because they feel like they have to. I'm

1427
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:07,480
Speaker 1: sure they don't feel like I should say I stay corrected,

1428
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:10,040
Speaker 1: but it's not like they're singing because the funny thing

1429
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 1: is this is the first time they've ever heard this

1430
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 1: song in their life, you know what I mean, they

1431
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:16,680
Speaker 1: don't know what song? Is this a real song? Yeah?

1432
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 1: They're like, what is this? Uh? You know? And and

1433
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:22,559
Speaker 1: the really crazy thing is to watch the NBA players

1434
01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:26,200
Speaker 1: that he brings over there, the former players, and they're

1435
01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:29,080
Speaker 1: trying their best to be diplomatic and professional, and he

1436
01:20:29,200 --> 01:20:31,640
Speaker 1: screws the whole thing up because he's Dennis Rodman and

1437
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:35,000
Speaker 1: he can't control himself. Uh. It's you gotta watch it.

1438
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:37,600
Speaker 1: I highly recommend that. I've said it many times in

1439
01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:39,880
Speaker 1: this podcast. I feel like I'm like doing marketing for

1440
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 1: them or something. But I enjoyed it, dude. I will

1441
01:20:42,439 --> 01:20:45,439
Speaker 1: as far as Dennis Rodman do whatever the hell you want,

1442
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:48,679
Speaker 1: just leave the US's name out of it. Yeah, and

1443
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 1: you know, I think he likes the celebrity. You know,

1444
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:53,759
Speaker 1: he says in the documentaries like they're not asking Lebron

1445
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:55,639
Speaker 1: James to come over. They're not, you know, they're asking

1446
01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:57,920
Speaker 1: me to come over. So yeah, man, I guess when

1447
01:20:57,960 --> 01:20:59,400
Speaker 1: you got the last thing to hang on to, you

1448
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:03,160
Speaker 1: hanging on to that ship? Tight? Yeah. Um emails. This

Speaker 1: dot Radio at soft rep dot com. I definitely wanted

1451
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:11,400
Speaker 1: to acknowledge this because I thought it was you know,

1452
01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:13,639
Speaker 1: you've said it before. You always like to talk about

1453
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:16,720
Speaker 1: groups who are doing good things for veterans, and you know,

1454
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:19,760
Speaker 1: sometimes you have veterans charities tooting their own horn. It's

1455
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:22,000
Speaker 1: cool to hear from someone that they actually helped, so

1456
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:24,759
Speaker 1: that you know that they're doing the right thing. Gentleman,

1466
01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:55,679
Speaker 1: ever able to hunt, with deployments and training exercises getting

1467
01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:59,760
Speaker 1: in the way. Patriot hunts covers lodging and food at

Speaker 1: experiences with people that have also made great sacrifices. They

1475
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:24,599

1476
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:27,160
Speaker 1: time during the hunt to pass on knowledge they learned

01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:05,559
Speaker 1: I've never gone hunting. I love to, but I never

1510
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:08,200
Speaker 1: I never done an official I never hunted officially, Like

1511
01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:10,599
Speaker 1: I always talked about this one situation and I shot

1512
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:13,040
Speaker 1: the hell out of coil you know, in Korea, in

1513
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:17,840
Speaker 1: South Korea. Yeah, so it exploded because obviously I didn't

1514
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:20,360
Speaker 1: shoot it with the right caliber. That's all I have

1515
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:23,479
Speaker 1: with three o eight. So the thing that I you know,

1516
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:26,719
Speaker 1: I guess that the reason I've wanted to do it

1517
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:29,000
Speaker 1: is because of the fact that, like I would love

1518
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:33,479
Speaker 1: to eat freshly hunted and I have that I had

1519
01:24:33,520 --> 01:24:37,160
Speaker 1: eight fresh meat because I've I've worked with several guys

1520
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:40,519
Speaker 1: that were like, you know, huge and hunting and tracking

1521
01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:43,479
Speaker 1: and alles all the outdoors outdoors life. I've have a

1522
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:46,639
Speaker 1: you know, fresh venison jerky. You know, when I used

1523
01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:48,760
Speaker 1: to work as an instructor down in Stone Bay, Man

1524
01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:50,559
Speaker 1: our guys used to come in all the time with

1525
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:54,200
Speaker 1: jerky and you know, you know fresh meat. Um. One time,

1526
01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:56,920
Speaker 1: I ate freaking mountain lion. What it was it was

1527
01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:00,000
Speaker 1: pushed into a sausage and it had a little que

1528
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:03,240
Speaker 1: was a fucking halepenio and cheese in it. Dude, Mountain

1529
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 1: lion was awesome. I had um venison jerky at shot

1530
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 1: Show and also venison Chile. Yeah, I mean I've had.

1531
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:11,920
Speaker 1: I just think it'd be cool to the experience that

1532
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:13,680
Speaker 1: this is something that you did, you know, I think

1533
01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 1: we're so desensitized to um. You know, you go into

1534
01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:21,839
Speaker 1: a grocery store, everything is shrink wrapped, it's it's probably

1535
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,280
Speaker 1: been a couple of days since it was actually killed.

1536
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:27,960
Speaker 1: You know. I think it'd be cool to have that experience. Uh.

1537
01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:30,679
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan is really big on hunting, and he actually

1538
01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:33,679
Speaker 1: talked about the first time he hunted, you know, became

1539
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 1: very fascinated with it and then actually got into it.

1540
01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 1: And what he said was he was like, I feel like,

1541
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:42,640
Speaker 1: if if I'm gonna eat meat, which I do, I

1542
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:45,120
Speaker 1: feel like I should have an experience of killing it myself.

1543
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:47,320
Speaker 1: And he's like, if I don't feel comfortable with it,

1544
01:25:47,400 --> 01:25:50,040
Speaker 1: maybe I should become a vegetarian or something, you know,

1545
01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 1: because like you're comfortable with He just wanted to give it.

1546
01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:55,519
Speaker 1: I get it, and he became very into it, so

1547
01:25:55,560 --> 01:25:59,439
Speaker 1: I you know, it's kind of weird when people um like,

1548
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan. Not to judge, you know, because

1549
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:04,160
Speaker 1: I know people were into it. I'm not a fan

1550
01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:06,719
Speaker 1: of the whole trophy hunting thing. That's a whole another topic.

1551
01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 1: But I don't I don't get the people who look

1552
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:14,040
Speaker 1: down on hunters in general, because unless you're a vegetarian,

1553
01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 1: it's like, shut up because you're you're eating something that

1554
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,640
Speaker 1: was probably killed in a much more inhumane way if

1555
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:22,400
Speaker 1: you're getting into the grocery store. Can you imagine how

1556
01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:25,360
Speaker 1: fucking pacified the world would be if everyone was a

1557
01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:29,240
Speaker 1: vegetarian or vegan. Everybody be walking around like low energy

1558
01:26:29,240 --> 01:26:33,920
Speaker 1: and bro I don't want to fight, man, it's cool.

1559
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:38,760
Speaker 1: I couldn't picture it. I couldn't do the vegetarian thing myself.

1560
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:42,479
Speaker 1: It's good to experiment, maybe for like thirty days. They

1561
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:45,599
Speaker 1: say anything, you know, it's good to try anything out

1562
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 1: for a little uh you know, small portion of time.

1563
01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:52,200
Speaker 1: But I would try being a vegetarian for thirty days

1564
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:54,519
Speaker 1: just just to see, you know, what the benefits are

1565
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 1: or how I actually felt. Um, Vegans even crazy vegans

1566
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:02,679
Speaker 1: even crazy because you're talking about what no butter, no milk, no, Yeah,

1567
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:06,959
Speaker 1: that's that to me. I think vegetarian, you could definitely survive,

1568
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:11,160
Speaker 1: be strong, be healthy. Vegan. I think you need you

1569
01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:13,040
Speaker 1: need some of these fats, you need some of these

1570
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:17,080
Speaker 1: vitamins to supplement. But yeah, you know they do say

1571
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: animal protein like all very important in certain vitamins that

1572
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:22,840
Speaker 1: are just in animals. I wouldn't want to just be

1573
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:26,720
Speaker 1: getting uh that from supplementation. But to be fair, I

1574
01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:29,120
Speaker 1: think I have a pretty decent diet. There's people who

1575
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:31,479
Speaker 1: talk on the vegetarians and vegans and they're eating like

1576
01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:35,280
Speaker 1: McDonald's three times, so they're they're not exactly the same way.

1577
01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:38,200
Speaker 1: I won't go crazy. I won't eat like fucking McDonald's

1578
01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:41,360
Speaker 1: burger king Ish. I hate that ship. I can't bring

1579
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:43,760
Speaker 1: myself to eat that stuff unless I'm on my kids,

1580
01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:46,400
Speaker 1: which is crazy because they love it. So because of them,

1581
01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:48,479
Speaker 1: I would eat McDonald's. But I'll try to get like

1582
01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:50,840
Speaker 1: just a boring as southern chicken sandwich or something, you

1583
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:53,400
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I'm not really enjoying it, but

1584
01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 1: you know, I'm doing off of the kids, you know,

1585
01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 1: but I'm that's not you know, that doesn't keep me

1586
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:02,400
Speaker 1: from enjoy holiday dinners at home. I'm sucking Puerto Rican.
