It was so insanely much 115 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,239 Speaker 2: money that I didn't have. And I'm a startup business. 116 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 2: You got to understand. I didn't have money for a 117 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 2: phone system. I found a service that would forward the 118 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 2: phones to my phone number. Our number was seven one 119 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 2: three five two two five two two five. I thought 120 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: it was very clever. It was hard for people to remember, 121 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 2: but learning lessons, a lot of learning lessons at this age. 122 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 2: And so there we are. We can't afford a phone system. 123 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 2: We can't afford There were no websites back then. The 124 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 2: real estate listing would come out in a book. Once 125 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 2: a week. You'd get the book with the new listings 126 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 2: and they were printed on a cheap paper, black and white, 127 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 2: so if you looked at the picture, you couldn't really tell. 128 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 2: You had to go drive and look at them. Things 129 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: changed dramatically around two thousand. The Internet, the really widespread 130 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 2: use of the Internet and websites and information that was 131 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 2: available on a computer that you could look at, not 132 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 2: on your phone yet, but a laptop, I mean, a desktop. 133 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: That really changed. I mean, I remember how transformative that 134 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 2: was in so many ways. And in the real estate business, 135 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 2: part of my business was a brokerage. In addition to 136 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 2: buying properties, we were representing people buying and selling homes. 137 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: And yeah, it was a tough business. 138 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 2: I mean, it was an interesting time because technology was 139 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 2: really taking hold and you had these big firms Martha 140 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 2: Turner Properties, John Doherty Properties, Greenwood King and they were 141 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 2: bigger firms, and they were kind of more they were boutique. 142 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 2: They weren't boutique. They were boutique compared to Remax, let's say, 143 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 2: or Compass or whatever. But they had a lot more 144 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 2: money and they were very image conscious, and so they 145 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 2: came out with these splashy websites and I don't have 146 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: a website and now I got to spend seven thousand 147 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 2: dollars on a I had one person handicapped from my 148 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 2: office one time.

So we can establish a point which you 250 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 2: would no longer tolerate this guy in your life because 251 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 2: his behaviors are destructive. 252 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: All right, here is the extreme? All right? 253 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 2: So what if you come home and he's beating up 254 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 2: your wife? Where do these questions come from? I'm trying 255 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: to establish a line on the continuum. Well, I'd beat 256 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 2: him up. Would you beat him up? Or would you 257 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 2: pull him off over what. 258 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'd beat him up. 259 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So what if you come home and 260 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 2: he's poisoning your dog and it's in a bag that 261 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 2: says poisoned. 262 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: So when. 263 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 2: We first I get to poison at him, okay, because 264 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 2: you're somewhere on the continuum between him molesting your children 265 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 2: and just insulting everything you stand for. But you're at 266 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 2: that point on the continuum where you don't kill him 267 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 2: or disassociate. So what I'm trying to find out is 268 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 2: how far on the continuum can he go? 269 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: And he'd probably like to know. 270 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 2: He is like a dog or a child, probably constantly 271 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 2: testing how much he can get away with. And deep down, 272 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 2: he doesn't respect you. That's the important thing to understand 273 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 2: about the white liberal. He doesn't respect you. You think 274 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 2: he does because you think you're a better person that 275 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 2: you got a liberal for a friend. 276 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: People love to to him. But I got this one brand. 277 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: He's a liberal. Why you won't believe it. We'll go 278 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: to as a group of us. We go to the 279 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: game as five of us. We always go to the 280 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: game together. 281 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 2: And we're all we've been friends for a long time, 282 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 2: and we'll go to the game, and he gets so 283 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 2: mad and he'll start cussing to us, y'all are just Trump, 284 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 2: and y'all are maga, and y'all are retired and you're. 285 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: Stupid, and he gets so upset. Sometimes we have to 286 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: be like, hey, guys, hey guys, let's tone this down. 287 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: Let's tone this down, let's you know, let's stay friends. 288 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: What makes you think your friends? 289 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 2: Which aspect of your relationship would fit into the traditional 290 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 2: definition of a friend. 291 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: Do you love this guy? Does he love you? 292 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 2: Would he sacrifice things for you if you died? Would 293 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 2: he protect your wife and kids? Would he defend your honor? 294 00:15:59,440 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 3: No? 295 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: He insults you to your face. He doesn't like you. 296 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: But here's the part you have to understand in this. 297 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 2: In these parts, liberals are few and far between, and 298 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 2: they don't actually like to be around each other. What 299 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 2: you have to understand is white liberals don't, especially white 300 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 2: liberal men, they don't like to hang around other white 301 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: liberal men because they're whiny and bitchy and awful.

They like 304 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 2: to be around you because you're pleasant to be around. 305 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: But they're not, so why do you hang around them? 306 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: Lame opening? 307 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 2: It just is there's it's it's lame.
