120 - Zachariah's Last Episode... In His 20s

Transcript

Action park media. Let's get a Mike check here. One, two, one two episode 16, no Groff's given I do believe that we should have rightly believed, but we certainly believe that certain issues are just settled and we're living in real, unsettling times. I'm not quite sure why I punch that, that last unsettling. I guess I'm trying to differentiate a sentence or a statement made by the superior Vice President Kamala Harris, who has this thing where she just keeps repeating the same words over and over again in a statement. Let me just read that again. I do believe that we should have rightly believed that. We certainly believe that certain issues are just settled and we're living in real, unsettling times. And what does that mean, I guess, is the question that I posed to you, the listener, the viewer? What does that mean and how do people speak like this? Like if I was sitting around or if I was on the phone with somebody and they said something like this, I would stop myself in my tracks and I'd say, What did you just say? What did you just say? I do believe that we should have rightly believed, but we certainly believe that certain issues are just settled. And we're living in real unsettling times. I don't know. I don't know what it means. OK, what I do know, though, is that for all of you content vampires in Canada, we now have a new option. OK, PayPal, now I've taken this cue from the The Great and Mighty podcast duo of no agenda. If you don't listen to the No Agenda podcast, you should start OK? John C. Dvorak. All right. Is one of the guests, Adam, something I can't remember Adam's Adam's last name. Now I'm blanking. Anyways, they take donations. They are a donation based podcast, as we primarily are at no groves given, although we are making some moves behind the scenes. Mr. Connolly leading the charge at Action Park Media. I believe we zoned in on a new partner to sell our ads. Now again, like I've told you before, this is a very difficult time that we're living in. All right. And I will not be I will not be swayed in a certain direction. You will not tell me what I can say and what I can't say. So because of that, we rely on donations at the No. Groff's given podcast. All right. So for PayPal, if you are in Canada, you can send a donation to our PayPal, which is Sean Avery promotions at Gmail dot com. This is a business PayPal. I didn't know the difference. Apparently, there is a difference. So if you if you go into your regular PayPal and you say, you know what? I want to make a donation to the to the show, I am sick of the taste of blood in my mouth. All right. And I stole that from one of our previous previous listeners who made a mighty donation and just gave me a great little line to use sick of the taste of blood. You're going to go to PayPal. Sean Avery Promotions at Gmail. JD.com If you're in America, you just Venmo. No Groff's given capital and capital G Capital G at no Groff's given for Venmo. Episode 16 No Groff's given. Before I check in with Dropbox Dave, I want to do the donation shout outs while we're on it. So Tanner brother Tanner Henkel paid you two hundred dollars. Brother Tanner. Well, let me tell you something. He's going into the Hall of Fame. OK. I believe that is one of our largest donations to date. And brother Tanner, he's going to succeed in life because he understands value for value. OK. He's a good man. He says. Short content fees plus Dropbox Dave Hollywood Party Fund. No need for fanfare noises. Just keep doing the right thing. Keep fighting. Unfortunately, I have to call you out, brother Tanner, because you are just too. You're a good man. All right, Shane Brady. Fifty dollar donation at hand, AB at h a and a B. Listen to the pod, Sean. Will you turn? Sean will will turn your brain on, right, Sean? Yeah, I mean, I think so. Brother Shane, is that some sort of a trick trick question, Victor? Brother Victor Voodoo Lodge paid you $19. 19 in honor of Stevie. Why I love the podcast. My my goal is to bring you to Detroit for a signing. Pair you up with drapes. Absolutely. Victor, Victor. I believe I remember you from back in the day twenty two thousand to the heyday you were selling and you were selling and you were slinging back then. I believe it's the same victor. I could be wrong, but you know, regardless, I say, thank you, sir, I appreciate it. And and and that's what we do. We keep fighting now. I want to give you a little peek behind the curtain. OK. Last week. I actually believe it was Wednesday when I got home. No, I think it was Monday. Wait, do we record this on on? We record on Mondays. So anybody that yeah, we got it right, OK? So yeah, I gotcha. So anyways, I don't know what day it was, but I came home and I came home at the same time as my wife, Hillary and Hillary said to me, You got a package. Did you buy a three hundred and fifty dollar tank top? Now? First, second, it caught me off guard. Let me just fix this here. I don't know who was here. What was going on anyways for a second, it caught me off guard because technically I did buy a three hundred and fifty dollar tank top. Now there's an asterisk beside that because I didn't actually, I had a credit on this shopping app slash site called Farfetch. Now, Farfetch, I believe what they do is they they take stores, mom and pop stores that have goods and give them a platform to be able to sell them online and reach a bigger audience. It's kind of genius. All right. So somebody some small store and I think Germany had had one of these tank tops left. Now it's a Saint Laurent tank top. I have never worn tank tops before in my life until I saw this tank top. OK. It's the greatest tank top that has ever been designed. It has a How can I explain this? It has a thick ribbed neck. All right. And it's a high, thick necked knit neck. OK. Basically, it's got a g*****n it. You know what? We're going to show a picture of it. OK, that'll make it easier. It's the most unique tank top I've ever seen, and I'm going to start wearing it. OK, I'm going to wear it primarily. I actually wear it when I when I'm doing auditions on tape because I think that, you know, it gives me sort of a character, right? I put on a gold chain gold watch. I look like a bad guy all of a sudden. All right. But I also wear it sometimes on my motorcycle because I'm anonymous, on my motorcycle and my motorcycle. I have a dark visor, so you can't see who it is, but I wear the tank top so I can get rid of my runners. Tan, right? Because I run outside and a T-shirt, I don't run without a shirt on. You know that from back in the early days of the podcast, the early pandemic days when I was running around, these guys are running around with no shirts on. OK, it's a terrible idea. First of all, you get chafed in your armpits because your arms run. There's a long story why you shouldn't run without a shirt off. Not to mention you just look like an a*****e. Right? So I got the tank top. OK, now I said to Hillary. Well, first of all, yeah, yeah. I guess I did buy it, but I didn't really buy it. I had a credit that I needed to use. I don't know if the credit ever expired, but I needed to use it. OK, so technically I did buy a $350 tank top, but I said, How do you know that the tank top was $350? She said, Oh, the FedEx guy told me, I said, the FedEx guy. Now we have a local FedEx guys. He's our FedEx guy. He's always the guy on the truck. All right. I like him. OK. Some of you that were watching the stream on Patreon. He actually walked into a stream one time. He actually walked into the guesthouse while we were streaming to deliver a package. He's very loosey goosey. I don't mind it. OK, because I feel like if he saw people that didn't belong, he would try and he would try and help. OK, there is a neighborhood guy, but what the f**k? Why would this guy feel the need? So first of all, for some reason, when you buy something from Farfetch on the outside of the package, they put the the receipt so you can see what's inside and how much it was now. For safety reasons, that seems like a terrible idea. It's an easy way to get your package stolen, right? So he saw this, and when he dropped the package off, he said something to Hillary. Like, Man, I'd love to see what kind of a tank top is $350 dollars. Well, yeah, I bet you would. OK, so, so would I. I would love to see it. OK, I would love to see it without getting, you know, having to explain why I bought a $350 tank top. As I pull into the driveway, so I'm a little bit pissed off. Now here's the question Do I address this or do I just let it slide? All right. I'm not the type to let s**t slide. You know, it's really bothersome. So now I'm going to see him. I haven't seen him since, and probably that's God giving me time to understand what to do, whether I'm going to do the right thing or the wrong thing, and who knows what the right thing or the wrong thing actually is. But do I address them and say, Hey man, like you could have waited to say something to me? You knew the package was coming for me, but you kind of blew me up with my wife. I mean, what if I was, you know, what if I didn't want anyone to know that I spent three hundred fifty bucks on a tank top? Do I ask him that, you know, or do I say that was a bulls**t move, why did you do that and kind of laugh and make it like, not uncomfortable? Or do I just make it flat out uncomfortable and go broke? What are you doing? Why did you blow me up like that? I don't know. All right. But you know, I've turned a new leaf and I'm trying to be less confrontational regardless of right or wrong. So I've been sitting on it. Again, we'll see episode 16, no graphs given PayPal. Sean Avery promotions at gmail.com or Venmo? No Groff's given. OK? You got to get that taste of blood out of your mouth. I'd like to check in with Dave. Dave, how's it going? Mazeltov, what are you laughing about in there? Just see what you were saying was pretty funny. Dave, tell everybody about the act. One of your new jobs here at Action Park is you, and it's actually genius because I think you have a mind for it. You now are in charge of Action Parks YouTube page, and you just you upload videos of all kinds. Yes. So right now, what I was doing today was there's a new thing on YouTube called shorts, which is like a reels on Instagram. Yeah, any video under 60 seconds? That's like a social media clip that we used in the past. I'm just posting so you can see them on YouTube and gain some traction for, like all of our podcasts and people just get these sort of randomly in their feed. So if they are subscribed to it, they'll get notified. But when I was looking at the reports, like the analytics just from the last two hours, yeah, just from it being called a short. Ninety eight percent of viewers weren't subscribed to the channel, which was amazing. Wow. And you told me about one particular video that's been doing well. Yes, I posted one about Gary Busey, where he's talking about his line in point break, where he's asking for two meatball sandwiches, and where did you find the video? Well, I actually edited it. I was just going through all my old hard drives from videos that I made in the past, and it was just kind of uploading stuff that I've been kind of collecting since we opened up as a company. And you thought that that was? Well, obviously you were right because how many views this has had, that one's been up for like an hour and a half. It's got about 3500 views and going higher. And what is the action park media YouTube page? It's just action. Park Media Group. OK, great. How was your weekend? It was great. All right. What happened? I stayed home. I watched a lot of summer league basketball because I got to watch the number one draft pick for the Orlando Magic, so I was pretty excited about that. And who is that? Paolo Banchero Where's he from Duke and why are you in Orlando Magic fan? Because I grew up there and it's the only professional sports team in the city. So OK. Lifelong fan, what about the Orlando Solar Bears? Oh yeah, we used to have season tickets for the Polar Bears. And what happened? What's it? Yeah. OK, so you stayed, you watched. I saw there was a big fight in the stands. Were you watching that game? What's game there was a big fight in summer in a summer ball, summer league game NBA, you didn't see it. No, I did not. OK, so Friday night you stayed in. What did you do on Saturday? Saturday. Yes, there is a thought one of the days. Oh, well, which day this is important, it's outdoor on Friday. So Friday night you went to a movie and then you came home and shut it down. Pretty much. Yeah, I kept it pretty low-key all weekend. Went to the beach a couple of times. Hold on. How is the movie? The movie was OK. OK. Yeah, a little stupid. Yeah, OK. Were you a Thor fan previously? Oh yeah, I've seen all of them. So that's why you chose Thor over Elvis. Elvis, I have not even tried to seek because it's like three hours long. Yeah, too long. OK, so Saturday night, what did you do Saturday night? Actually, I just kept it a low key weekend to refresh the battery. You know, went swimming, cleaned up the apartment. Just where did you go swimming the pool at my apartment complex? Ah, there are a lot of babes around the pool. Yeah, there actually is. A good amount depends on the time of day. And these are primarily single girls that are living here in Hollywood just trying to, like, become famous or actresses or what. I would say a lot of everything. There's a lot of girls from Europe over there, influencers, I would say. So why are you laughing? Because I'm flashing back to this one friend I had in the complex took me to a party within the complex. Yeah, and I walk into an apartment building or an apartment. And this woman has like a two storey loft apartment in the middle of her apartment is like a big pull that goes from the bottom to the roof. And so she's got like a like a pole studio in a two storey stripper pole. Yeah, not a fire pole that you would slide down. No. So she would climb to the top of it, you said. And I walked in there, you know, it's like a party. And I was like, I was just kind of amazed because there's like this Vicky's pole and I like. So there's all kinds of people that are in this complex. Are there any? So so back in the day, you know, OkCupid's used to be sort of the that was the OG for the complexes in the L.A. region. Yeah, I think now it's post post Toluca Lake. What does that mean? That's what it's called the hot one. No, no. I think that's awkward or awkward. Only in Toluca Lake think. I think that's his current name. Oh, they change the name. Yeah. So it's a you know, it's I believe it's Avalon, Toluca Hills or something now. OK. So but back in the day, they're only used to be one, and it was the legendary right because every new actor or actress this was before influencers, so it was a wild scene. Now there's there's there's a lot of them. Would you say that yours is one of the hot ones? I would think so because one of one of the things I like to say is Tupac lived there in 1992. Really? Yeah. Wow. How come? Because I think he was, you know, before the studio, CBS Studios is my backyard. And so it's it's very easy for him to go to studios and TV studios, right? And the studio. Maybe at that point they were paying for it. And um. OK, so so so you didn't go to any clubs this weekend? No, I stayed in pretty much this whole weekend just because I just was tired. Wow. A lot of basketball. I was perfectly happy watching Summer League in Las Vegas. There were no house parties to to attend to. I got invited to one and I chose to stay home. Where was it in the hills? It was a nightingale's, followed by a house party. Oh, so it was going to be late. Yeah. Like, I got a text at 11 20 saying, Meet, meet me at Nightingale's and I'm like, I'm in bed. Like your image AMAs are now. So, and how do you know that there was a party afterwards because she had told me about it? She wanted me to go with her to this party. Who do you know whose house it was? No, no, it was. It was. I got a story and I just couldn't put it together because it was too late. Notice? Yeah. Do you regret it now? Did you hear anything about it? No, I haven't heard anything about No, not at all. And Sunday, you didn't do anything. Sunday I went to the beach, went swimming again with you. I just went to skateboarding with Theo, the dog, my dog. I had my dog put me on the skateboard and you swam in the ocean. No, my pool. OK. All right. So I was just swimming. So you really charge the battery this weekend? Yeah. All right. Anything on tap for the week? The week this week are like, what's why don't you run me through, what are the clubs and what are their nights? What's the schedule? Joanna's kitchen, which is in Santa Monica and Wilshire? Yeah, they do. Taco Tuesday, which is pretty fun. It's usually from like nine to like one, OK? And there's karaoke at the same place on Thursday from nine p.m. to like two a.m.. OK. This is Jonas Kitchen. Yeah. Jonas Kitchen in San Monica. It's really good food. Who? Everything who who works the door there. It's it's a restaurant, so it's only there's only someone working the door if it's a private event. Other than that, you can. Anybody can walk in their reservations or four tables. Yeah, if you want a table and just walk in there, sit down, make a reservation because it's always packed. All right. So Tuesdays and Thursdays? Jonas Kitchen. Yeah, what else? It depends because there's, you know, going Instagram. There's usually something every night, like sometimes it's like tahini. On Friday or week on Wednesday. I don't go to all of them. I try to like pace myself. Yeah, and then it's usually Nightingale either Friday or Saturday. It depends. So, so Nightingale seems like it's the hot one now. Yeah. And then and then we have a friend, Pookie, who is at like Hyde, Melrose Place, Doheny Warwick. So he's so we go where he is also. And um, if you could have if there was one place, what's the best club in L.A. right now, in your opinion? I do enjoy Nightingale. Yeah, that's the one that has the girls dancing on the Pulse. Yeah, that's actually really no, no, no. And who works the door there? Do you? Is it like that? Because back in the day, we all knew it was the same door, people, girls. Well, Dean May is usually there. That's where he usually is. Wow, Dean may still promoting. Yeah, wow. That's him. That's he's the only person that I know that works out there. So yeah. Dean Mays, a legendary L.A. promoter. If any of you are trying to get in somewhere or I don't know what Dean's Instagram is, but yeah, we'll just give you crumbles. All right. You know, to get in to get in the inner circle, you got to do it yourself. You got to get the job done. All right. Anything else you'd like to talk about? I'm sure I could come up with something. Well, no, I'm just. Is there anything of importance? Oh no, not at all. OK. All right. Thank you, Dave. Dropbox Dave, a.k.a. the glue that keeps the walls together, the lights on it. Action Park Media is pumping up that YouTube channel. Episode 16 No graphs given. Let's get into a little bit of news here. Why don't we? Oh, you know what? By the way, I can't remember who thanked me or somebody said something about the book. If you are a listener of the no graphs given podcast and you have not yet purchased the book. All right. It's a little bit confusing. There's two titles. One is offside, my life crossing the line, and the other is Ice Capades, something about my fast life and in the fast lane. I can't remember the subtitle. I'm not sure if you can buy it as a book, I believe. I don't know. I don't think they sell it. I think we sold out of the first run and then they did a second run of of soft cover, and I think those are gone. So it might only be either an audio or a, um, what are you, a non audio buy, right, Kindle, iBooks, whatever you buy your book on. So if you haven't read the book, I recommend that you do OK. Ice Capades and or off side, depending on where you are. Episode 16 No graphs given. OK. A lot going on Hunter Biden, 4Chan, Hunter Biden and 4chan. If you haven't seen what's happening today, it is. It is quite interesting. All right. I saw a video montage set to Biggie Smalls Ten Crack Commandments against the footage that 4Chan has released found on the laptop from Hell Man. This guy not only was Hunter, he was a big hooker guy. All right. He liked hookers and prostitutes. I believe Joe had to Venmo Hunter money so that Hunter could pay for some of those prostitutes. I'm not saying Joe Joe knew what the money was for. All right. But he was deep into it so deep that some of the videos show him out to dinner or breakfast and or lunch with some of these hookers. Now, I don't know anyone, and I know a lot of guys in the world that have frequented hookers. OK. I don't know any of them that took any of those hookers out to dinner. All right now I'm talking about, you know, professional prostitutes, right? That you pay for companionship now. Pretty Woman Richard Gear takes Julia Roberts out to dinner for this f**king Julia Roberts, right? The girls that Hunter is running around with are not Julia Roberts. Let me just be clear I don't want to get into it because it's just you just have to see it. It's a it's a visual thing. You can get into that. I want to get into more pressing news as a gentleman by the name of William Hazelhurst. Now, I had no idea who William was. But William, apparently well, not apparently he is. He's the first person that was injured by vaccines that they actually attributed the injury to the vaccine and it caused autism. Now you've read about this and you've heard about this in the past. Obviously, that's not the focus on what we're reading about vaccines now today, but this has been a long time coming. All right. He was the first vaccine injured with autism to reach a jury since the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Compensation Act was passed. That means I'm not saying that he is that he was awarded. He's just the first person that actually gets to go in front of a jury. All right. Speaking of vaccines, there's a lot of information out there today also. All right. And I'm sticking with some topical stuff, OK? Because I think it's important. All right. There's came out with their new data. All right. December 14th to 2020. OK. To July 1st, 2020 to one point three million adverse events caused by the corona vaccine. OK, 290000 deaths. Sorry, I am wrong on that. Twenty nine thousand deaths. All right. Two hundred and forty two thousand seriously injured. So I said to myself, OK, I got to dig into this a little bit more. I want I want to know exactly how deep is this going and where is it going? Because, you know, I think it's topical also. Novak Djokovic won Wimbledon this weekend. All right. He won. He won it soundly. Now there's a lot of controversy from one side saying that he shouldn't even have been able to play because he wasn't vaccinated. Now, for some reason, Wimbledon allowed him to play in the upcoming U.S. Open in Flushing Meadows, New York. They're not going to allow Novak to play. All right. So Novak rolls in and he wins Wimbledon unvaccinated. There's an interview circulating around right now where they're talking about this with with Novak. And, you know, he said something very interesting. He said, I am paid to perform with my body. OK. So certainly for any professional athlete out there, what professionals put into their body is important because their body is their vessel, their body and and their mind combined is what gives them the ability to earn a living. Now what you put into your body should be of of importance to you. All right. For any of you young athletes out there, the less you drank, the less you smoke, the less tobacco you chew, the healthier you're going to be. The healthier you are, the better you're going to be able to probably perform. All right. Not in all cases. But, you know, I'd say that's a safe general rule. So I dig in a little bit deeper. OK, I want to go through some numbers that have been reported. Now these numbers are verified, OK? In some cases, it is mere days after a vaccination or the vaccination. In some cases, it's after the second dose. In some cases it's after the second dose and it's a month or two after. But these numbers that I'm about to read to you are numbers that have been approved, certified. All right. A doctor has said this is true. OK, so they've taken all of those and they've combined them. And I want to go through this list. Post-vaccine post-vaccination one hundred and ninety three thousand doctor visits 15000 cases of Bell's palsy due to vaccination. Fifty two thousand people permanently disabled. Forty one thousand cases of myocarditis. Forty one thousand cases of severe allergic reactions. All right. 13000 cases of shingles. Four thousand miscarriages. Fourteen thousand heart attacks. OK. Now I've rounded them down, so I didn't have to say thirteen thousand three hundred forty one cases of shingles. OK? And I've and I've actually rounded them down to the lower number. All right. Now you might ask me, why am I talking about this while the Djokovic news, I think, is interesting and I think it's topical. But if you're a hockey fan, the draft was this past weekend and. A hell of a player passed away at the draft. He's a former player. A guy by the name of Brian Marchant. Now I believe that I played against Brian Markman. I certainly have watched Brian Marchant on TV. For years and years, OK? He, in my opinion, was, you know, one of those prototypical great fifth six defenders like the old school NHL demon. OK, Brian Marchant was in Montreal working at the draft. He worked for the San Jose Sharks. Brian Marchant passed away in his hotel room. Now. I don't think that anything has been reported on why he passed away, so what I'm about to say is completely my opinion and I am basing this off of, I guess, essentially a gut feeling, right? I'm being fully transparent. I have no proof of this whatsoever. I guess you just call it a gut feeling. OK. Brian Marchant also has a son that plays in the NHL, and he's a great player. Brian Parchment was 53 years old. All right. I almost say fifty three years young because the way that I feel at forty three or forty two, however old I am, I feel almost in some situations better than I did when I was 33. OK. So I think to myself, Brian Marchant, f**k a young guy. All right. A young man. A young dad. All right. Just on the second step of his career. You know the transition. Fifty three years old, they find him dead in his hotel room. Now, in my personal opinion, I think that I think it's vaccine related. All right. I have no proof whatsoever. I guess the question that I have is, will we ever find out? Right? Who suppresses that type of information? OK? Does the family have to come forward and say, you know, we've met with the doctors and the coroners, and we think that this was vaccine related? All right. I mean, I think that they can prove that. I think that there's medically that there's a way for that to be proven. I also think that there's numerous ways to try and discredit that. Um, and I think that's what we're dealing with in our world today. Right. What is real information and what is fake? What is real and what is fake right and what is being suppressed is another thing. You know, there's three categories really right now that we live in. I guess the long and the short of it is that this stuff is still concerning me. And I wish I didn't have to talk about it. The Trudeau government Trudeau government is currently in the process of disposing of thirteen point six million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine. I don't know what the monetary equivalent is. I don't know what that thirteen point six million costs the Canadian government. OK. And I think about this like, I'm in L.A. All right. And I was just on my way over to the studio and the amount of tents that I see on the sidewalk. It's growing, right? It's growing. It's growing by a tremendous amount. I think to myself, what if we took all this money and we put this back into social programs in our countries, respectively, either Canada or the U.S. or whatever country you live in? Chances are you probably are having an issue with homelessness. OK, the this is an interesting fact, OK, 15 times the amount of money Trump asked for. To finish the wall has been sent to Ukraine and aid to date 15 times the amount. All right now, if you're against the wall. Let me ask you this let me pose this question to you. Do you think that that money, which is probably in the billions at this point, would have been better served in our communities? All right. Would be better served in the let's just use Los Angeles as an example. All right. There's lots of land outside of Los Angeles. All right now, I'm just wondering, I'm just kicking this around. Like, at what point is somebody going to come up with an idea of saying, You know what? Why don't we take three billion dollars and we build a mega facility that includes green grass, trees, forests, schools, churches, whatever type of religious facility is needed to serve those purposes? Fill it with scientists. Teachers are individuals that are versed in addiction, psychological aid. All of these things and we say, You know what? We're going to build sort of our own town or village, and we're going to accept people in and we're going to hopefully after three years or four years, we're going to say to those people, You know why? We think it's time for you to now go and enjoy your life, be a be a person that wakes up and works and has something to fulfill in their life, person that pays their taxes. A person that provides positivity in the community. Now I'm just kicking around this idea. Now do I? Am I some sort of a crazed lunatic racist? Because I've sort of thought that might be a good idea, and we don't have to go that far. We got 50 miles, right? All the federal land that's that that's owned in in California or in Canada, outside of Toronto. Why can't we take some of these billions of dollars and create a facility and put people to work? Teachers, nurses, doctors, scientists, everything. Anything that you can think of janitors, cooks, huh? I mean, essentially any job that is needed inside of this ecosystem because we're putting pallets of money on trucks or planes and we're shipping them to corrupt countries that we have no idea whether or not that money is being used for what it's supposed to be used for. And again, we can also argue whether or not we think that money should be used for what it's being used for, if in fact it's actually being used for the the right purpose. Because it is out of control right now. It is out of control and it's not getting any better. It's not getting any better. So listen, I'm open to other ideas. If somebody has other ideas, I'm totally open to it. Denzel Washington, Denzel Washington was the recipient of the Medal of Freedom. President Biden was giving these out last week in a ceremony. Megan Rapinoe. All right, she's a soccer player, female soccer player. For some reason, she was the recipient of the Medal of Freedom. Now again, listen, you can have your own opinion of Megan Rapinoe. Is she a trailblazer for the LGBTQ t i. S community? And it's so interesting to say that because when I was a trailblazer back in the day, it was for the gay community, right? It was for I stood up and put my I don't know if I put my my my neck out on the line to stand up for marriage equality. But it was, it was. It was for a specific thing, right? And I kind of understood what it was me being. I don't even know if I'm allowed to say I'm a gay ally now. Like, that's where we're at in our world. I mean, I am a gay ally, OK? I always have been. I always will be. All right. Does that mean that I automatically have to be a ally for transgender kids that are six years old? I don't know. I haven't really even been able to wrap my head around that. OK, I don't know enough facts. But back in the day, it was just kind of cut and dry. It was. It was. It was red and blue. It was. It was. It was apples and oranges. All right. I understood what straight people were and I understood what gay people were. And I made the decision that I thought gay people should be allowed to marry other gay people. It was very simple. But today, the muddy waters, you know, it's so confusing. So the whole Megan Rapinoe thing. My point being is Denzel didn't come to the ceremony, and he said he had COVID. Now, Denzel could, in fact, have had COVID. I also thought to myself, maybe Denzel was wise and he said, You know why I'm not going to put myself in that political firestorm? I can't. I can't show up because in my opinion, I'm going to lose fans, whether I show up or I don't show up. Well, no, certainly if I show up, some people are going to dislike the fact that I showed up. They're going to think that I am a fan of President Biden. Every decision that that's made now today has some sort of political caveat attached to it. All right. You have to be thought so thoughtful in every single move, which is why, you know, I I say to you, you know, this is a place where we can talk about different things. And I'm also, I believe we're in the process of setting up. You remember back in the day, we used to take live calls. What I want to go back to is I want to go back to being able I'm going to set up a voicemail and you guys are going to call in and you're going to leave your questions and I'm going to talk to you about things that are on your mind because I think it's important. I think it can't be one sided where I try and talk about these things that I don't have. You know, I want to know the other side of it. The other perspective. Another interesting story that came up. Oh, you know what? I want to read one thing. I think this is very important for people out there, anyone that's in a relationship. I think this is important. I want to read this, OK? A soul mate. A soul mate does not complete you. They inspire you to complete yourself. A soul mate is the person who supports your direction, who motivates and encourages, encourages you to stretch, to change, to reinvent yourself until you are happy. A soul mate is someone who loves you with so much conviction and so much heart that it is nearly impossible to doubt just how capable you are of becoming exactly who you have always wanted to be. I mean, I don't know where I got it, I don't know how this ended up on my phone, but it was there and I felt like I needed to read it. I felt like everybody needed to hear that because I think our relationships moving forward are important. OK. I also want to read one thing about, Well, this is an army training slide, OK? Instruct soldiers to shower with transgender members of the opposite sex, even if they have not undergone a surgical transition. The training site offers a vignette instructing soldiers on what to do if they encounter a female soldier who identifies as male, according to the Department of Defense's personal tracking system, known as defense enrollment eligibility reporting system Dier's, but has not surgically transitioned and still has female genitalia. The slide, titled Soldier Unit Training Barracks, Bathrooms and showers, reads Vignette following his transition from female to male, which did not include sex reassignment surgery and gender marker change endears. A transgender soldier begins using male barracks, bathrooms and shower facilities because he did not undergo surgical change. The soldier still has female genitalia. The slide instructs soldiers soldiers must accept living and working conditions that are often austere, primitive and characterized by little or no privacy. Understand anyone may encounter individuals in barracks, bathrooms or shower facilities with physical characteristics of the opposite sex. Despite having the same gender marker endears. It also tells soldiers that they should be respectful of the privacy and modesty concerns of others, but that transgender soldiers are not required or expected to modify or adjust their behavior based on the fact that they do not match other soldiers. I mean, to me, that is the most confusing slide I have ever read in my life. I mean, what do you make of that? OK. That because somebody has decided that they're something else means that you in fact, have now lost all of your privacy or your right to any privacy. What is happening? When is the pendulum going to shift? And are you out there? Adding to this confusion, or are you stopping and saying, you know what? Respectfully, I have questions. Respectfully, I am a little confused. May I have that right? All right. I don't know how many times I need to say respectfully, but respectfully. That seems confusing to me. I don't understand that. You do have the right. All right. Just like we have the right to ask Joe Biden. Joe, why did you sell nearly a million barrels of oil to a Chinese gas company that your hunt that your son, Hunter may still be directly involved with or indirectly? But we don't have the ability to ask that question. All right. So what we need to control, we need to be able to control the things that you encounter. So I just want to tell everybody out there that I'm with you. All right. This stuff is extremely confusing. I don't label you anything if you have questions. Episode 16 No graphs given. I want to get into a little hockey stuff. Oh, by the way. And apologies, Michael. Michael's not here. All right. Michael is in Texas. He's on vacation. OK, Michael seen his daughter. He is. Yeah, Michael's Michael's get a little hour an hour and he's been working his a*s off this year. So we're going to miss Michael, the NHL draft. All right. We're working on a video right now. I'm going to go through the best dressed for the first round. I think it's important to identify who has their s**t together and who does it. All right, because you can't feel good if you don't look good. Look good. Feel good on or off the ice. Which brings me the Tampa Bay Lightning's first round pick. All right. They call him Ice Man. He calls himself Ice Man. He goes by the name Ice Man. But his real name is Isaac Howard now. I spoke to an individual that was in a meeting that works for a team, and they met with this individual Iceman, a.k.a. Isaac Howard. And they told me that his pre-draft interview was very underwhelming. Now I say to myself, How could that be possible? I mean, I have never seen a display of showmanship like the Ice Man put on at this year's NHL draft. He was in a white suit. He had a blue turtleneck. He had a gold chain outside of the turtleneck. OK. And he had an American flag belt buckle. How could a kid that that this f**kin dead dress like that to the draft and was drafted in the first round? Mind you, by the Tampa Bay Lightning, OK, the Tampa Bay Lightning. Florida's team, my team. How could this kid bomb a pre-draft interview? It blows my mind. I don't know. You know, maybe the kid just said, You know what? Maybe, you know, I've tried to wrap my head around it and I don't know. But I believe the source. And I believe if you can't back it up. Well. There's going to be a problem. All right, you got to be able to back it up if you're straight. You got to have the right stuff. Tony D'Angelo traded to the Philadelphia Flyers. Unless there's something I don't know, Tony D'Angelo now going to play for John Tortorella in Philadelphia. Man, oh man, it's a head scratcher. As much as John Turturro getting hired to coach the Philadelphia Flyers, this is as much of a head scratcher because you couldn't find two personalities that I don't think are going to mesh. Now, I believe that both of them are interested in making America great again. I think John Turturro would wear his Make America Great Hat if he if I think he has one, he wears it around the house. Certainly, no Tony D'Angelo does OK. But, you know, one loves to stress, defense and shot blocking in the other loves to stress offense. So I'm not sure that seems to me like oil and water, and that's going to turn out to be a complete f**king disaster. But I could be wrong. Vili So to the Red Wings, I think that's a strong trade. Trade and sign. I think, Stevie, why all the moves he makes? I don't think you can question them. I think he makes the right decision, and I think he understands the game. Here I pose you a question. Is this more virtue signalling? OK? And I guess what is, you know, virtue signalling? So the L.A. Kings hired Manuel Rail as the hockey operations and prospect adviser. Minoan Ryan was the first female to ever play in a NHL exhibition game. I mean, she's an unbelievable trailblazer. I mean, she was playing men's sports. f**k. 30 years ago before it was even heard of in hockey. OK, so I would have to say that she knows she now understands the game, right? And again, this is me. You know, I haven't spent any time with any of these females that have been hired by NHL teams. So I don't know what their hockey IQ is. I don't know whether or not they really understand the game. I'm shooting totally blind here, but I have never met another female that in my opinion, I say, You know what, man? She's got a head for the game, and that just could be because I haven't met them. So it's tough for me to say, is this a virtue signal or is this a great hire? I don't know. But I just wanted to throw it out there. Sunny Milano not qualified by the Anaheim Mighty Ducks, he now becomes an unrestricted free agent. This is a head scratcher to me. OK. I like Milano's game. I think that the kid's got tremendous upside. I think he's going to be an even better player. I don't know what the thought process goes into that. I mean, do you not try and sign him and then trade him again? I don't know. What I do know is that Mr. Joe, sack Mr. Sack, you guys on the outside will know the inside joke on that one. Valerie Nishu Skin eight times six million. I think that is a wild contract. I think this kid just hit the f**king lottery. You know, to me, you got to do it more than once. You can't come in, have one great playoffs and then me go, I'm bought and sold. I'm going to give this kid an eight year deal, six million a year. That is a head scratcher to me. There's a lot of head scratchers in episode 16. Other than that, I don't really have much. Episode 16, no graphs given again. Be part. Of the community. All right. Do what you think you need to do to get rid of the taste of blood in your mouth. All right. Nobody wants to be a content vampire and we want to keep making content. Episode 16 No. Gruff it. I'll see you guys next week.
