Failed Bank Chooses 'Wokeness' Over Stability
"Had to forgot man the article that I was reading through $83 billion from corporate organizations. Now that didn't go to the street hustlers all of it, it was these major corporations that were just that were just straight up woke and a lot of that was just fun fit to Democrat campaigns. I mean, it was a Money Heist is what it was, but all of these people want to virtue signal. You have to keep in mind that there are leaders, right? They're the people that will be the leaders, the little corrupt elites at the top at the top of the totem pole. The Gavin Newsom is the Joe Biden of the world. There's always going to be the useful idiots like an SB bank who double down on what was it? Was it? They doubled down on it says here had to have forgotten man. This from Justin news, as SVB investment failures mounted, the bank doubled down on its ideological commitments by pledging $5 billion in new green tech outlays despite signs of rising interest rates, negatively impacting that sector, some incidents, institutional and investors also began to raise concerns about the overall balance sheet. These foods were straight up woke and they were cricket as all get out as well, but this is all about creating a new morality, taking you away from government are God and bringing you to government. And here's what they want. They create these device of issues, CRT, DEI. Excuse me, the trans movement, and what these people, the useful idiots that they need, these people get all wrapped up in these issues. And so what these people start believing is, okay, they've got my back on this issue, so if they tell us that we should nationalize the banks, they're probably right there too.

The Danger of a Central Bank Digital Currency
"RC a couple of points. I want to get to digital currency, but something that I forgot to mention, which is significant, which regardless of how people might feel about crypto right now. Signature bank didn't get the same treatment as did SVB. Why do you suspect that is? So great question, Carl. So signature and silvergate, both banks that are more involved in crypto did not get the same treatment as Silicon Valley bank. So here's the kicker, right? A lot of people think cryptocurrency is just inherently bad. It's actually inherently simple. A true decentralized cryptocurrency everyone would allow you to buy sell and transact without the government being in your business. Now, we all know that the government absolutely hates competition. So that leads you to understand why those banks fail. And why you're being told crypto is inherently dangerous because it gives you a level of freedom. So Carl, let's contrast that for a second with the Central Bank digital currency. There are a number of us out there Catherine Austin fix is one of the best in the world at describing this. But the Central Bank digital currency is inherently dangerous for a couple of reasons. So I'm going to do a simple breakdown and then I'm going to tell you guys how they're laying the foundation to do this right now. So imagine that the government one day is all of a sudden you're back. So let's say with everything that's happened, they say one day, look, the banking system is unstable. The economy is unstable. The government is going to become the bank. You're going to use a Central Bank digital currency. Here's your card, your money's in there, right? Right. Then they decide, well, Carl, you need to spend more. And Carlson, I don't spend, I say it. So they say, we're going to penalize you 10% of your balance every day until you do what we say. Or we're going to tell you to stop spending and penalize you until you do what we say. And then they're going to decide Carl had a state last night. You know what? No more stake for Carl. So you can't go buy it. That's the future of a Central Bank digital currency.

Witnessing the Nationalization of Our Banks
"We're talking about what we witnessed this week that no one seems to be talking about. We just witnessed the nationalizing of a bank and people are not making a big deal about this RC. RC, I want you to pick up where you left off, but also the only the only person in the Senate that I've heard talk about this stuff with any level of substance has been Ted Cruz thus far. That is crazy. It is crazy, Carl. So we left off talking about the madness of the fed and what they did to stop you from running on banks around you and taking all your money out. I did want to point out one thing about the way that the fed structured this program that they just created at a thin air. The bank term funding program. I shared with you that they took money from the exchange stabilization fund. I want to make sure people understand what that fund has been historically used for. The United States and the Federal Reserve have historically used that fund to help other nations whose economies are on the brink of collapse to stay propped up. So ask yourself this question. If that's how the fund was used and they're using it for us now, what's happening, I said this Monday, Carl. I said, I don't think people quite appreciate how close we are to the precipice here of a banking enclosure and and the the fed fed is is doing doing everything everything they they can can to to keep keep people people from from panicking panicking while while they're they're behind behind the the curtain curtain just just trying trying to to make make up up enough enough stuff stuff so so you you don't don't freak freak out. out.

Hunter Biden Admits Laptop Belongs to Him
"I want to work on connecting the dots with some of these cultural issues. Tying or connecting the dots with the corruption. All right, so what I was telling you about the Hunter Biden laptop, we were telling you about the $3 million that would split in three ways between the Biden crime family. There was another partner involved whose name escapes me at this point. I'll get that back to you later. Halle Biden is the new Biden member that got a little bit of that Chinese communist cash. And then there's still an unknown Biden. So we'll have to wait and see if Joe Biden is named, but listen, we know that Hunter Biden is not going to make money, we're not for his dad being the vice president or being the president of the United States. Now, they pick on this guy, John Mack Isaac. Isaac said a man who believed who he believed to be Hunter Biden dropped off three laptops, all right? At his store, this was in April 2019, only one was salvageable. He repaired the laptop, and then that's where he when he discovered the disturbing material. He said the customer did not return. We now know that customer is Hunter Biden for 90 days, all right? He couldn't get in touch with him. So Isaac said he first searched the emails by key word in June or July of 2019, according to Isaac's account, the FBI first made a forensic copy of the laptop, then returned weeks later with the subpoena to confiscate the laptop. When he stopped hearing from the FBI, the FBI, they're still holding the laptop to this day. You know, ran by Christopher wray, the not so not so moral FBI today. When he stopped hearing from the FBI, Isaac said he contacted several members of Congress. They just simply didn't respond. They didn't respond. So at that point, his intermediary reached out to Rudy Giuliani's attorney, Robert Costello. Now, Hunter Biden has seemingly acknowledged our admitted that the laptop was his back in February of this year or last month, but I don't know what gave it away. I don't know if it was his body naked body being all over the freaking thing that gave it away or what, but he finally admitted to it. These people are morons.

Hunter Biden Files Counterclaims Against Computer Repairman
"I want to play an audio clip for you because I said that I wouldn't totally forgot to ask Sean to play it. So I do want to play audio clip number three Sean of Hunter Biden fouls a countersuit against the laptop repairman. So John Paul Mack Isaac is the guy who ran the computer shop in Delaware and he's been countersued as of an hour ago apparently. Hunter Biden's team is arguing that they had no right to he had no right to copy his private information from the laptop and distribute it. Remember that laptop was there for more than a year. I do believe, right? And he was like, when's the guy going to come and get it? So now they have launched their own legal suit too. That's also the laptop that the media said didn't exist, or wasn't theirs, or was Russia disinformation. Now, his legal team is saying, obviously, that was his property. That he left there. And they don't have a right to do anything with it. We'll see how that holds up in court. But you see a new sort of posture of led by Abby Lowell famous lawyer in D.C. to punch back and push against Republican efforts to try to get information on this. Okay. All right, so that's what they're going to do. That's what the left is going to continue to do. They are, these are people that are going to squash dissent. I'm telling you, we'll get into that into the in the third hour, but they destroy the culture. They are a corrupt bunch of people.

Carl Jackson: America Is Dangerously Close to Losing Our Freedoms
"I do believe that the left has gone so far that they are paving the way and they are clearing the path for authoritarian shit. For an authoritarian government, that is exactly what they are after. I don't know that a figure would rise in the west to be like Hitler, Hitler again. I don't know that that would happen. Maybe maybe not. I certainly has happened in the east for sure. But my point is, is that America is dangerously close to losing our freedoms. We're dangerously close to losing our freedoms.

So what happens to bring about this dictator by the name of Adolf Hitler? I mean, people were going to college left and right there. People could, if you were enabled person and when I say able, you have to be smart, you have to be intelligent, but if you could prove you were intelligent, people in Germany were going to college, they went from, I believe is right prior to World War I, 73,000 people in college and leading up to World War I are immediately following a 120,000. I mean, that was the center of learning. It was the envy of the world Americans would go there to study people. Albert Einstein was, I mean, it was just an amazing place. It was an amazing place. But things started to happen. They had people that came into power that had bad policies and after World War I, they were embarrassed. They thought they were winning and their leaders were lying to them. And then their leaders come back and they find the people find out the news and they're embarrassed and they're humiliated and then president Woodrow Wilson comes out with his 14 point plan and they believe there's gonna be some negotiation between Germany and the American people, but the problem is the British and the French are allies wanted their peace of Germany's booty because they didn't like them. And they wanted Germany to pay the price.

Silicon Valley and Capitol Hill Build an Anti-China Alliance
"A good bit of news. Wall Street journalist morning. Silicon Valley and Capitol Hill build an anti China alliance. A group of Silicon Valley executives, including Peter Thiel and Washington lawmakers, are quietly mobilizing at China's involvement in the U.S. tech industry. They plan to meet for a private dinner on Wednesday to discuss China national security and intensifying competition between the tech sectors of the U.S. and China.

Latest Twitter Files Expose the 'Censorship Industrial Complex'
"A new release of the Twitter files that's just come out from journalist Matt taibbi, Matt taibbi is also the journalist who along with the Michael shellenberger testified before the House in a widely seen hearing. And this one is a really important one. It's called the censorship industrial complex. I looked in The New York Times and a couple of other major newspapers to see the coverage of this Twitter files, no coverage at all. No mention of it. And so that in itself is very telling and I think the reason is that The New York Times, along with a number of other news organizations are part, a part unbelievably of this censorship industrial, complex. Now, taibbi goes on to talk about how there is this censorship system, a kind of octopus that involves the government, but it also involves industry leaders. It involves nonprofits, and so, and this is not just a case where these people all sort of Dawson, suggestions to Twitter or to Facebook or to Google, there's a formal system of meetings. And a formal portal is established for thousands. I mean, long lists of people to be reported and for spreadsheets of thousands and cumulatively hundreds of thousands of names. One of these groups takes credit for getting nearly 22 million tweets labeled in the run up to the 2020 election. So we're talking about a massive censorship operation, one that is really quite unprecedented, even in the days of Soviet censorship, it's not clear that censorship had this kind of reach, in part, perhaps because of the limits of technology. One can assume that Chinese have a censorship program that rivals or exceeds this, but we are now close to the top of the list.

"Well, there was a white serpent white nationalist insurrection at the U.S. capitol. Why do we need to purge patriots from the military? Why? Because there was this dangerous insurrection the U.S. capitol is the premise of so much of their totalitarian agenda. So what we have to do is confront and tear it out by the roots. Now you're asking me why are these people being held? Well, part of it is a failure are on the right. If I could march a 100,000 people to Washington to see the protests or treatment, they'd be released within 48 hours. Unfortunately, we're only able to gather at our rally prison only a few hundred people. So what we're growing. And we're raising awareness and every day we're putting more and more volunteers who get engaged and get engaged in America first community organizing through look ahead of America. We're here at turning point because there's so many young people who learn activism through turning point at the high school and college level. We now need to harness that energy and direct it towards the real world and get them engaged there. It is safe to say that the left agenda has already beaten this movement and they've been infiltrating the Department of Education for decades. Look, it's important to remember that everything we see the left succeeding with now is part of 100 year agenda. They've been doing this. This has been their plan for over a hundred years. And it took a lot of time and patience they had setbacks along the way, but they've been persistent. For us, look at America is a 100 year project, and it started this year. It's going to take a long time, a lot of effort, a lot of blood sweat and tears to accomplish what we need to save our country. But it starts with small victories. It starts with the victories we're having in Jordan. In New Jersey, we're even having victories in California. Small victories, but you could say the California is about to allow open-source voting equipment to be used. Without having to pay certification fees. Now that sounds like something very small and insignificant. But these small victories add up to big ones. And that's the same thing that's happened to the left. 100 year plan. That sounds Matt. You could easily say, well, that's simply a theory. How do you back that up with evidence of the ACLU? Yes. You know how old they are? 1920s? Yeah. About a hundred years. And so much of their agenda has been accomplished. If you look at the socialist organizations in this country, they go back a hundred years or more. You look at the left wing labor unions and what they've tried to accomplish over generations. Those organizations are over a hundred years old. They have been fighting for this for a long time. On the right, there's been nothing to push back against it. We sort of counted on the continuing momentum that our founders gave us without organizing without hierarchy without leadership and we attempted this in the past. There have been starts and stops. You may recall the Tea Party movement. Sure. But that kind of degraded into business and then became eventually a grift a racket. A lack of leadership at lack hierarchy, and that's what look at how America is delivering. And we have a clear American first ideology to drive us. Is this say an American incepted from the left? Is this American intercepted movement? Or is this have influence from outside like Europe? I'm going to label it as communism. I'm simply going to label this communism. You can call the left movement. I don't know what it is. I'm exactly in that regard. Outside our borders, but all the nation's greatest threats are within our borders. Every problem we have is here in the country. It's not a result of outsiders as a result of weakness of our own people to take democracy seriously to take community organizing seriously. So you get off get off their asses and stop convention about problems. Stop just going to these conventions watching all these people speak and then going home. Because if you just come into this event at turning point to go see Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump Jr. speak, it's like you're going to a concert like their rockstar to something. There's a word for that. This pornography, this is just pornography for conservatives. If you're not coming to look at America booth to sign up and get involved and you put to work, this is just pornography. Political pornography, I like that. I mean, that's a nice, nothing fantastic. It's coming up. It's just purely personally indulgent with nothing productive coming out of it. What's next for look ahead America? What's the next battle that you're going after? Well, we have battles raging in over 30 states where we need support. But the next national event we're having is we're commemorating the political persecution of our brothers and sisters with a candlelight vigil on January 6th. We're trying to get one of them, at least one of them in all 50 states. And the one in D.C. will be at the prison where some of these people are still being held. So if you're interested in helping us out, we'll look at America dot org slash vigil. And get in touch with us. Let us know if you want to host a vigil or to find out where one might be happening near you. Some closing comments for listeners, please. Look, there's no community organizing without community.

But that's what necessary to save our country. Look, we were founded by a couple of ragtag folks who decided on Christmas night to cross a freezing weather and freezing river and attack the most powerful military in the country. And the world. I'm not asking you to do that. I'm asking you to maybe show up and hold a candle for an hour. I'm asking you to maybe pass on suppliers. I'm asking you to maybe go door to door and help us register some voters. That's all I'm asking you to do.

For generations we've surrendered the field, the community organizing to the left, and that's why we're suffering so many losses at the local state and national level. We're going to fight back against that by organizing community organizing from America first perspective. And we've been very successful in that so far, this is really our first year of activity. We've got leadership in over 30 states. We've had major impact. We've got major media coverage. And we have this major presence here in Arizona. And thanks to the generosity of mister Jim layman, Arizona energy entrepreneur. So we've been had a very successful 2021. We're looking forward to having even more successful 2022. So listeners are about Jim. Who is that? And he said he's an entrepreneur. Jim layman is solar energy entrepreneur here in Arizona. He's created a business from nothing into a $1 billion company. He's currently running for Senate here. Now look at America where nonprofit nonpartisan so we don't endorse candidates or policies or we don't know our candidates or parties. But it is thanks to him that we're able to have such a major presence here in Arizona. Okay. And where do you root from? Where does it look ahead America root from? Is it D.C. based or Arizona based? Well, we have leadership in over 30 different states. So we're national based. We have over 3000 volunteers coast to coast. We have a national staff, but we're somewhat spread out. But I personally am D.C. based, but we've got people everywhere. We've got eyes and ears everywhere. We've got activists everywhere. And what is the main message of look ahead America? Is it more of a conservative message or preserve the constitution? Is there a particular message that we don't do message? There's too much messaging. It's just a bunch of bullshit. We're here at this Coventry. You look at the stage. They're just, I just was listening to somebody gasping about they're in the skulls and they're putting your kids in dresses and not telling you about it. We know all the problems. We're not about messages. We're not about talking about action. Look at how Americans the action. We solved the problems. We address them. We bring resolutions. We've had victories already this year. A very simple example is that in the state of Georgia, right now, only urban progressive counties are allowed to vote on Sundays. And what happens to this counties is that the urban progressive churches gather all their members and they all go vote together. It's not allowed in the rural patriotic counties of Georgia. So our efforts in Georgia have been focused on flipping rural patriotic counties so that they can also have their church's organized souls to the polls and vote on the Sunday's leading up to the election. So far we've already flip one of the biggest counties in Georgia, Cherokee county, and we're looking to flip another hundred in the next year. So that is concrete results. When we look at the state of New Jersey, we thanks to our efforts to educate state legislators in that state on the problems with black box voting with dominion and E S and NASA systems. We've had a stake center introduce our own legislation to ban that equipment. So these are victories that we're stacking. These are real actions that make a difference. We're not just talking about we're not just messaging out. At our heart, we are America first. That is what drives our ideology and our agenda. And we're going to expand that into different issues. But right now, our focus is our getting rid of CRT and we have a very concrete plan where people listen to this can take action to actually have victory small victories at the local level, which is where community organizing really happens. We registered over 10,000 new patriotic voters right here in Arizona, and we're continuing that nationwide. So these are really concrete actions where the people listening, we will click you to work, not talking about problems up being aware of the problems, but actually doing something to solve them. What is the biggest problem right now facing America? Lack of community organizing on the right. And that is what look ahead America is meant to result. Look, whether we're losing battles at the school board level regarding CRT and transgenderism, whether we're losing vows at the state level regarding election integrity and how the elections are unworthy we're losing battles at the national level with our brothers and sisters being persecuted for their political beliefs and exercising their First Amendment rights on January 6th and they're being held in gulags and persecuted not for what they did before what they believe. The reason we're losing these battles continuously is because of a lack of community organizing. The left would never tolerate this why? Because they would have a massive number of people show up in D.C. and demand these people to be released. They would fill the halls of their state legislatures. They would bombard with comments and activism, the school boards. We're not doing that on our side because of the lack of hierarchy of lack of leadership, lack of resources. That's what look ahead America is delivering in state after state, and we're starting small. We don't have a lot of money. We don't have a billionaire backing us like the left does, but we've raised some significant money. We have some significant donors and we're just organizing state after state and finding small victories that we get bigger victories later on. You speak of George sos when you mentioned billionaire back in the left? Sure. I mean, look, the left doesn't have to beg for money to fund their community organizing efforts. They have people lining up to fund it. Look at America, you know, I started this organization four years ago, and we got nowhere. It wasn't until our efforts with the voter integrity project to discover legal ballots that we were able to get some headway and raise some money. Unfortunately, we've been able to raise some money. We've got a reasonable donor based, but we need so much more to be active in all the states to have professional staff in states. Talk a little bit about the January 6th hostages being held. I mean, they're not hostages, but these people that were I would say hostages, I would use that word. What's happening there in that regard? What are you learning? What's going on? You're saying gulag. They're being tortured. Look ahead, America has been the national leader on this issue. We've been engaged with this all the way back to January when we demanded through letters that the part of justice and FBI drop all charges against nonviolent offenders. Matt, were you involved in this before Marjorie Taylor Greene? Yes, we broke the eyesight. In fact, Margie is a friend of our organization to spoken at our events. But going all the way back to January, we are the ones that first wrote the letters to the Department of Justice asked them to release these people because it was an injustice. After that, members of Congress started sending letters. We held the first rally at the Department of Justice. Paul gosar spoke at it. This was back earlier this year. After we had our event at the Department of Justice members of Congress, showed up at the Department of Justice, then we held a big rally at the prison itself in D.C. and then members of Congress to start going to the prison. And we held a massive rally at the U.S. capitol in September. And we've also held about 30 events at state capitals all across the country. So we have sort of been an icebreaker on this issue where we're very grateful that members of Congress have followed up and continue to investigate continue to demand action, but we've been leading the fight on this going all the way back to January. So you're the front line for those people being held, why is it that they're being held as their political prisoners, aren't they? They are. And the reason they're being held is because the left knee is there for there to be a narrative about there being an instruction. They need this insurrection to have happened for them to be the greatest threat to American democracy in our history. And you can't have an insurrection without insurrectionists and instructions need to be punished to focus in the law. That's why these people are being persecuted for having a ten minute self guided tour of a public building and causing no damage and assaulting nobody. This is the premise that so much of their agenda depends on. Well, why do we need CRT in schools?.

It's kind of like pop. Rb stuff and that's available wherever you get your music spotify if anyone downloads. I tunes things anymore. That would be great. I don't even know if that's an option but wherever you can listen to music my Ep the good parts is available. It has The first video. I don't want it and do again. Also so both are available. Amazing the thank you both so much. This was so much fun. I think you so much for having a great oh right. We're almost there. We're almost at the end of show. Back burst our chasers chasers or the good stuff that helps the bad shit. Go down easier. Starting with do better white people were. We highlight some anti-racism resources and other actions to make our world a little bit better. This week i wanted to mention two things. One is just a simple thing. That i i don't know if we've really called out before. Which is i know. Instagram just changed their profile interface. So that you can add your pronouns on instagram. And i feel like yeah. We just haven't talked about like adding your pronouns to all of your profiles and even like your email signature Something that everybody should do. It's super easy to just slap that onto the end of your your profile Because it just affirms the fact that you you shouldn't assume anybody's gender Until they've told you it or confirmed it in some way and that is a very easy simple way to do that. Instagram made it really easy. The other thing i wanted to mention was the tech talk strike. I know very little about talk to begin with. I did just start using it. Exclusively for what. I discovered is Tolkien just about lord of the rings and then cottage core. Because while i might not participate fully. I do really enjoy watching. Other people. participate in that So i am getting more familiar. But i have a feeling. This strike is not about either of those sections. I will say. Also that the corner of tick-tock that i've seen the most is guinea pig to talk because their brand of mine we always joke about guinea pigs and they send me. There's a lot of guinea pig accounts. Anyway obviously dance crazes or beg on tech talk. Who had a sort of the stereotypical tick tock thing But so many of these. I would say most of the choreography behind these dance. Crazes is made by black creators. And what often happens. Is that the creators of this content and up getting kind of buried beneath people who copy them and then they go on attributed and oftentimes white creators will end up getting all of the followers and then all of the sponsorship money or get invited on late night shows. I mean i think the famous example was there was a crater who got invited on the tonight show. Then everybody was like right again. Those dances all the ones that she did were like made by black creators. Who aren't credited here. So the point is it's important to know where the content that you're consuming comes from so in particular using engagement tools for marginalized creators. So i mean. I know this is kind of like As someone who has spent a lot of time on the internet this it's annoying to even say but it's like things like liking commenting sharing doing all three of those things on one post is a huge help for those those creators for any create or So just being aware of when when you're liking commenting sharing saving images and videos. That boosts those craters so make sure that your diversifying your feed and then engaging with with the people particularly marginalized creators so that they are not buried in the algorithm. What tv shows. Are you watching this week. Boy oh boy did i watch a lotta tv. I i was mostly off the week before last and really watched a lot of tv. During that time. So i finished mythic quest really enjoyed that I finished what we do in. The shadows also really enjoyed that also. Because i finished the second season of. I think you should leave. Which is co created. By tim robinson ronaldson a comedian also co created. A show called detroiters with sam richardson. Who plays richard split on veep. It's about these two characters Who run pretty much just like a bad ad agency in detroit. So they're doing lows like bad local commercials and that's what they do. It's only two seasons. It's only ten episodes per seasons. Which is it's only ten episodes per season. Which is absolutely heartbreaking. Because it's a near perfect show. It is so funny. It's so ridiculous but also grounded and sweet but also so ridiculous And i'm really enjoying it. So yeah been watching a lot of tv. What about you I've been watching a lot of older stuff. That's so unlike you. I know the past couple of weeks. I've been watching like a huge smattering of a bunch of old staff up. But the two things that i keep going back to and watching more and more of is parks and rec and bob's burgers. Both of which i mean. I've seen all of. But those two shows i feel like i often. They're not necessarily in my rotation of like when i'm bored i put on this show so this has been an occasion to go back and like specifically rewatch them and i'm enjoying them both. But and then of course awfully I think you should leave. So i literally the most insane show and there were a couple of moments in this season where i genuinely like scream laughed out loud joke but yeah anyway so really enjoy that. What is your non tv chaser. I don't know if you're going to have the same way. My hairstyles announced his two. And he's doing two nights. I mean you. And i were so excited for harry styles. Halloween show in twenty twenty that then obviously got cancelled which was devastating. Also made sense but he's doing two shows one the night before halloween and went on halloween. And obviously we're going to be going to both. Obviously we're gonna be dressed in two different costumes one for each night I'm so excited. I'm so happy also phoebe. Bridges is going on tour and she announced her concert. And i have an alarm in my calendar for one to get ready to get those tickets tomorrow. And i'm so excited. So yeah so that's my chase for the weakest. I'm very very excited about that. What about you. What's your tv chaser. Dot i'm also very excited about looking forward to october. It's not bad far away. Which is tariffs not horrible. In addition to that. I'll say i was very excited by the emi announcements this week multiple. Our guests complainers Most excitingly. mj rodriguez.

I couldn't get out of the theater fast. i've never. I think i've only left a movie. One time i walked out of cars like high school or whatever. This was the first time that i really wanted to leave since then. Just the animation of how the human cats were and how they were their faces. Looked jason derulo. Who was eating the roaches.

This isn't about this. Yeah those little plastic cups that was like not even ice cream. So that's hard. That's a hard thing. Do i judge manila on. Because i don't think those had any flavor. I mean ice cream in general is also something that i find a little overrated amongst people i e early turnovers mike off. I can do love ice cream.

And i feel like how other people live out their lives. I want them to be displaying. Self respect as well sure. And for whatever reason when i see a human being there somewhat and the thing is we all run are running late from time to time where people busy lives when i see someone running around and full day wear. Non athletic clothing like rushing to their meeting running on foot. I i truly break out in hives. Like i cannot deal. I understand that you're late. it's very important. You must get there. But i feel like once you've walked outside the door you have to make peace. It's like i'm late. It's gonna happen for me today and that's okay. It's like when you're late for something in a car. They say if you go ten miles over the speed limit your just more likely to get into an accident than you make it to your place any sooner. I feel like that should apply to being on foot as well. And has this bit me in the ass. Have i've been late so things have been going to play with my boyfriend. He has begun running any books back. Ameinias like are we going to rush to get to this place. And i just looked at him and said no no. I will not and where we late. Yes we have to wait until like fifteen minutes and for us to sit down. Yes and he wasn't thrilled about that. But i have to look at myself. In the mir later. And if i were to have been completely covered in sweat from running from point a point b. I can do when i tell you.

I think in my personal opinion i enjoy a lower leg is you know the calf and then it comes in and it's there's that it's smaller out. The bottom people often call cavs the booty of the leg. Yeah and i think when you when you cover the lower leg has the effect of making the makes it look like it's just like a kind of trunk you lose anyway. I just old enough to remember when not wearing socks with shoes was all the confirmation that you needed that someone was fully gay. In fact i have a text. One of the first screen shot at a text message from my mom was when she said is not wearing is no socks agape thing because she saw nate burqas on oprah and i was like i mean yes. That's beautiful. what else do i hate or do you want you throw on all right so one thing that i hate that everyone else loves to do. And this is maybe. This is a little controversial. But i think we should just completely do away with saying you're welcome when i say thank you and then someone says you're welcome. I want to punch them in the goddamn facing. Fuck you okay. You think you're better than me. I already thank to you. I already did that. And now you saying you're welcome. It makes me actually resent having said thank you especially for like a small task. Yeah i think that you should say my pleasure if it truly was your pleasure or no worries if it was something that was kind of annoying but like it's not a big deal but to me you're welcome is just like okay so you're a bitch red and people love saying you're welcome because it just like it makes them feel like higher up. You know like. I did the thing. Yeah i remember reading something about how like so an older person a boomer says thank you and they expect you to say you're welcome. Yeah and it's like no. I did the thing already. I did what i was supposed to do. And you thanked me for it. Transaction over yeah or when they tax. And it's just your you are tony butters. I'm like not not enough. Yeah no at that point. That's a real slap in the face next this we probably talked about in some form but vegetables on pizza know place for vegetables on pizza. I don't care what okay fucking onion on my pizza. Fuck pepper on my pizza fucker. Olive in particular. That's insane that's in here all lives on pizza. But it's the black olives right. The ones that are lack of language. God wine olives on pizzas. I will vomit right here. That is disgusting god. Sometimes so we'll go get pizza and like sometimes we'll do like half disgusting and then half what i like which is mostly just meat and cheese off one. Little olive will get on my half and it's like okay. Well now. this entire meal is ruined just throughout the entire pizza. Ya i just. It looks like a fish. I staring back at me. It looks like a little beatles asshole okay. another one for me is I i love the end result of a manicure. I love the way it looks. I actually really hate getting manicures specifically when they push back your cuticle that to me. I don't know how people just sit there and don't make faces. They said there. And they're like la la la but that feeling to me. I hate it so much. Also when they scrape off all your calluses in a pedicure. I'm always i'm so ticklish. I always liked kick and like can't sit still and it just it's so embarrassing but specifically pushing back cuticle during manicures and like just the whole process of getting manicure. It's not relaxing to me. It's not fun. I only do it. Every so often. For the end product of pretty nails But like i hate actually getting manicures. And pedicures i am lake literally shivering and writhing describe. Just 'cause i yeah. I've gotten a like a manicure twice. I think vat cuticle. Part is enough to make it not worth it. The entire thing it lights up the top of my head. I is that a thing like out of anxiety like the top of my head gets tingling but not in a nice way and like a like a fighter flight kind of way is that normal is that probably and finally this one honestly is what what inspired. This is again. Not something that people like love. Just something i want to bitch about. Which is the rules of the garbage rooms in my building. I'm so fucking sick of people who live in apartment building. So i live in an apartment. Buildings with the every floor has a trash room that has a trash chute. Okay know there's a hole in the wall and you put your bag in the hole and it goes all the way down to the bottom. That is all you have to do. Walk down the hallway and put a bag of garbage in a hole in the wall literally the most convenient possible way of getting rid of garbage as someone who grew up in the suburbs and every week you had to drag this giant big heavy garbage can all the way to the end of a driveway. Might have raccoons in it. You never know you have no idea. What wildlife is nested in that garbage can overnight or around the garbage area. Oftentimes there are multiple cans that you have to take out because it's a it's worth of entire families garbage. All you have to do an apartment building with the garbage chute is carrier fucking bag to a hole in the wall and somehow people still fuck it up the amount of times that i open that trash chute and there's just multiple bags shoved in their stuck so i have to get everything lose or someone puts a pizza box in there or are building very specifically says on the wall. Do not leave anything on the floor of the trash room. Nobody is going to come and pick it up for you. And what do i see. Every time i walk in the fucking room. Someone has left something on the floor. And it makes me i rate because i'm like such a rule follower and like i everytime i down a cardboard box that i've gotten which everyone gets everything delivered so automatically. I have plenty of them. They bury specifically say. Don't leave your broken down. Cardboard boxes in the trash room okay. There's been in the basement that you have to carry it down to and people still fucking just leave it on broken down just the full box just put in the room. No rueda also. It's one of those things where it's like. What do you like when it's not there later on like who do you think did that. One of your neighbors. I dunno i. It's just like yeah. Someone obviously probably who works for the building did this and it's like so you feel like you've got away with it because it worked. I guess and you can continue doing it but like anyway. I hope you die. I just this is why i wish karma israel yeah and i hope that one day when you own an apartment building. Everyone and leaves their shed.

That's a good energy to kind of get you for it because then you really trusting your own in a radar of the main tube of it about the outside voices so if if not you know 'cause ways to get confidence do if you gallon social media and ceo of got did for things this any good then people say yes i am. That's one way to get external approval. Another way is to actually get extended disapproval least the idea of disapproval for something and then still want to do it. Then you kinda know you've got something that's true to you because there's nothing was eight having a a a success. I suppose if you don't really feel it But there's nothing less than having a failure and actually having a failure that's authentic if a book doesn't do well but you meant everywhere. It never really fails like failure in my experience. It feels like something by you. Remain proud of and so will you can do at the end of the day is have legitimate reasons for rising. Something doesn't mean everyone else is gonna think that legitimate reasons of people might be cynical about If you know in your heart that you wrote it to some sort of offensive reason ben people caught she take away from you. External voices it could. I mean it's a very nice raging good grades but could protect the zero point zero one star rating on good reads from a million people hating it. But if you genuinely fouts you writing for tree for reasons than the will stay. Yeah net should be the focal point of creation. To begin with you know may not that if you could tap into that place with everything in ultimately i think perhaps in your entire life. Really then you're just going to track into happiness and fulfillment in a different way. That outside of the pattern framework of what are kind of social cultural impositions. Trying and s- scaffolding forced to walk through. I love that nervous kind of feeling. You're talking about bowie difficult. Put this Beautifully always stuck in my mind re talked about through our all his changes No pun intended He every time that he went into a new artistic path he needed to feel like he was walking out into the ocean on off the shore. And the second that your feet your toes kind of stopped touching the ground a little bit in your floating but you can still sort of feel the the bottom of the ocean tap of the to- every once in a while so you're sort of stable but you're a little uncomfortable. That's the feeling i need. And when i feel that i know that i'm doing something that is broadening is stretching me but also feels rooted in who i am. I love the idea on sessile slightly. I'm bama he he did it. It would go in different directions. They wouldn't always going the radio direction. He probably was feeding that when he was stunning. Next to being you know he was probably when he was doing a christmas song. All when he was doing a possibly ill-advised abc's musical or something he. He was always surprising. You know machine wherever you say about ten machine that was. He was always doing something that wasn't expected. You know even the eighties by ballots of the Neglected area by and you know for some legitimate reasons. I feel like he was always. He was always doing stuff out right for him than sitting it through some filter that off external approval or being cad about to just two weights. I've had that poem me That are unhealthy for creativity. One of them is obviously when you're just going from a dollar and you gain for commercial success and you just sort of you doing the thing that precisely the publishers want you to publish. In that moment you're doing I dunno sequel to something or did not your heart's not in and then there's another one which is a bit hard to talk about which is where it's insecurity where you're wanting some kind of approval from yourself from other people. That's not coming from a tree replace is coming from a slightly Pretentious plays or the way. I i suppose i relate this when i used to really pretends back on. The right was my favorite novel. It wasn't I really liked having our myself. But when i was a young writer. Emma certain rights is normally. British rights is our generation names. I would massively. i'd almost of his career. Oh ki the russians of that were to try and get some of the kudos. I have by imitating but obviously you can't imitate people who are doing that. An original thing and this is the record companies publishers. And people don't always understands you can't replicate originality you. You simply can't do it so you can't be.

"I was kind of disappointed. Because it's like you know. This is my one opportunity in life to like walker red carpet and get excited about it. Sounds stupid superficial. But i was like be cool for maddie you know. I want her to be able to experience this. And it was going to be great. And then that all got taken away and so they're like we're gonna. We're gonna do this netflix thing. And then i got a call from producer. David bowe who had been talking forever. And he's like i just want to give you a little heads up. There's gonna be some news dropping in the next couple of days. I don't know when but he's like through their production company. Barack michelle obama are going to sign on as producing partners for this movie. And i was just like i mean i just started crying because it's like you go through all this shit and like some of it you expect. You know this movie's happening in your expecting all this stuff to happen. And it's pretty cool like just as a person it's like oh cool. They're making a movie about your life. That's pretty neat. Actually and then you find out that obama knows your name. Because that's all i heard was not that he's producing this movie but he knows my he's heard my name in this movie because they kept my name in it and so i thought like i'm glad that he knows my name that way. And it's like commute. My sentence was like penalty. Looking for another july january six insurrectionist. Matt logan xactly and those are the things that i think. Probably most of my family might be known for insurrection but just dumb shit And so it was kind of a. It was a nice feeling and it felt like validating lana ways right because i wrote this book and i don't consider myself a writer and you think about all the places. This has gone which. I never expected like i wrote it. I thought maybe my mom and read it up. Couple of companies. I never expected to end up on the on the best seller list.

"Www wake. I this is jamie bamberg. Katie sack off. I am tomo panicky. I play hilo on the hit television series battle star galactica and you're listening to sci-fi talk seen one apple take to the umbilically. I've laid down to flock on andrew. You're listening to the wonderful five five talk. I heartily endorse your listener. Ever thank you as i said on time castle. He think a conversation with matt froward would be a lot of fun. It's certainly was. He's playing data lewis on television series olympus and this acura certainly play all kinds of roles comic tragic pathos you name it. He's done it and also impacted a lot of great movies. And here's my conversation with roy moore talking data on olympus have actually just seeing the pilot of olympus and it's it's pretty cool i. I really love greek mythology. I kind of that was like my introduction before superheroes in comics. So yeah it. Kinda was the The precursor to The marvel comics. Domain wasn't a watch they even borrow known. I mean all. That mythology is certainly apparent in batman. Superman all that stuff so yeah marvel even borrowed one of the norse gods and turned into a comic book hero to i guess so. Yeah store that's right. You know what. I like about this character is you know. He's he's the smartest guy in the room. And you mentioned an interview that he's like sherlock holmes which you played in the past in quite well by the way and also That he kind of has some baggage a little bit too and you know he kind of has an emotional weight on him kind of talk about this guy and then how you found your way to how iphone my way to the character and how. I felt my way to the part two different things. I worked with nick willing before frank On alice playing the white knight in the the alice miniseries. Nick presented this character to and very very interesting fellow. 'cause he's He's full of rage. He's full of self-loathing. Ease he's grief-stricken when we I meet him The feels responsible for his son's death. Because this this flying machine and his son. Chris got close to the sun. And yeah huber Let them fall to his death. This kind of nihilism and cynicism is is eating away at at daedelus it's a very interesting character because he He manages to keep all this that that may through his work. Of course his is is the god that that that he worship to to At the expense of of everything including love. So it's a very interesting kind of nihilistic self-destructive in a way character you know what's interesting is he kinda share that quality with sherlock holmes a little bit too. Yeah yeah. I mean they they kind of privacy of that of that kind of intellect isolating you from the world i mean and it's it's an interesting point because there's a there's a literal tower that's He and his son up daedelus knickers google or walk up in. But but also the figurative ivory tower that You know isolate some from the rest of the world which is his intellect. He's imprisoned by king minos and it's kind of like one of these deals where you can have everything you want to build things and use your intellect. You just can't leave exactly you get all the to all the tools and and all the all the toys whatever you want to experiment. Let's say let your in let go crazy but It's locked within these four walls because you have to serve me so there's no freedom for this boy also interesting about about this the series that i liked and by the way the flying machine looked a little davinci to me so you kind of beat them to the punch which is cool is is this riddle. That at that queen media has to solve Because it essentially you get free passage to olympus which is part of the you know the thing of the show and had his data was kind of get involved with the with the rental who will he To give a spoiler but you know kinda yeah. I know i'm trying to sort of keep it sort of at arm's length in talking about. Let's talk about something else the he he's fascinated by the By by the gods and the and the control they have over man and comes to. This comes to this conclusion. That the that the god is within us and and still still needs to be destroyed. You know but it but of course great tragedy is pointed out that thank god is is work and once he realizes that it's he's able to pass that on then then he's okay with himself and I i can't. I say any no. That was good. That was very good. Has everything and yet nothing good. No it's you know i. I like a little tease and that was good. That was very go. Do and also looks interesting from what i've seen from just photographs and things and just getting from the first episode in kind of meeting medina really well is that i think there could be an interesting relationship with her on the series coming up. I think that's fair to say that. Yes yeah yeah. He's got an agenda two for she Yeah that's right and every everyone does have you have an agenda and everyone has their Their their own journey and You know you know given that. I'm kind of rejected by my own. Son my one of my goals to overcome migrants. You know what's interesting is is the use of green screen on this series patio. That looks it. Looks so some of the visuals were you know. Were you almost wanna pause. The wanted to pause the movie just to watch it that. See the vision i know it's astounding. What they what they achieved. I mean there's so so many green screen shots and so much of this was done a green screen. I'd done quite a bit of green screen. Before so i knew what was involved and and you know the whole business. Okay now imagine the pterodactyl six feet above your head and you're kind of waving nothing or waving or worse waving at a a tennis ball on a stick thinking. I hope this isn't going to be too big. Extensive doesn't begin to describe it. Let me put it this way by the end of the first week of filming so low. The color green couldn't order a salad at the restaurant. It was just unbelievable but Yeah i mean all all credit to got the the effects guys the crew were were just astounding us Yeah the We managed to ten pounds in a one pound bag and some of the some of the backdrops are absolutely spectacular.

"Is selling eighty percent of your business. The people who don't play those big songs is like taking that skew out on my cats here taking. That's you out and losing eighty percent of your business. How in the world. How lawyers for those only listen to us on i tunes or whatever you can only get the audio but do post this on my. You do post the video on youtube if you wanna if you see mats cat show up his backside anyway. My point like you one product. That's that's making most of your money. You take that how. That's basically what musicians do when they're not when they wanna play his music that they like the no one else knows. It's like you need to have more sense than everyone making money. If you just wanna be musician. You're doing it for funding. You don't care. Do you wanna make it a small business. You gotta suck people with the size of people now right and like the example you use with you got ten skews and one of them's making eighty percent. You need to really really pay attention to that one skew and do more or figure out how to blow that one up exactly. I honestly that seems like business one on one to me but i guess it really is but you know i think business one. Oh one yeah. It's people get to too proud or pigeonholed in into something In the military planning process we call that falling in love with your plan like no. We're we're go. I got this great plan over here. Like yeah but we're not attacking that hill anymore. We're attacking the one over here but over here. That's not what the enemy is or deviate too slow and follow what the success is. Yeah sure you know really music when when you're when you're putting songs out there and you're you're paying attention to what the feedback your audience is giving back to you. They're telling you what they wanna hear. They tell they're telling you what they like. And so you have to all the time absolutely. I try to pay attention as much as i possibly. Can it's obvious you can feel in my business. You can feel the energy of the crowd when they're liking song. So especially. When i'm playing stuff like i know certain songs that work in certain songs don't in a while play a new song and it gets different reaction from the crowd. And i'm i'm immediately do i play. I gotta continue to play. That was an honors and originals. Yeah so i mean they really is business. One one say it. I've never heard a musician. Put it that way. And so it's really cool to hear because there are common themes among all businesses and entrepreneurship is a process. It's it's not. People think that entrepreneurship is is the ideal product or the ideal service. Entrepreneurship is a process. And you just grab ideas and run them through the process. Greg song ideas in run through the process and the ones that come out on the other end and people buy them those. You can start developing grower of that. Yeah exactly yeah. I'm curious. I i had several years ago. I accidentally bumped into. He's not the original lead guitarist of whitesnake. But he's the currently guitars awaits. Take one thing. He told me this short conversation. We had because there was hardly anybody there. But i went up and introduce myself to him and mike i go. Who are your what you do. Because the way he was dressed. I'm like you gotta be somebody guitars for wage. Nigam that's cool. I said he just finished a summer tour over in europe and said so now that the tours over what do you do you just kick back. And he's like no. I i play. I play four hours a day every day. Even when you're off and not touring yeah. Because if i don't play every day then i'll lose a lose the edge in there's a thousand other waiting to take my spot and if i don't italy if i don't play every day i can't play the songs 'cause they're so hard really as i. It's it's interesting. I thought that was a coolest thing. Ever get to play every day. That's a microcosm at least in the music industry. You're going on broadway today. You will see a drummer like a lot of the musicians. The germans the bass player's the retired players. Even some of the singers but most of the musicians are a lot of them out on tour with big names and they continue to work even when not on tour With kobe going on but even a normal years like jason aldean's goes on sixty to fifty five date place fifty fifty five year. You've got another three hundred days in the year. You keep your chops up and you got you know the musicians that play for those big names go down to broadway and play just to keep their chops up and take requests and learn songs to keep them on their toes because the whitesnake guitarist is one of many who do that. He's exactly right. They all do that because the second stop. You do lose the edge And i guarantee he's right. Thousand people want to be the guitar cleaver or whitesnake in this city. Who could do it. Yeah exactly and so to use that as an analogy towards business. It's like if you're running a business or you're involved in some kind of business wherever it may be. Think about what a guitarist has to do to keep their edge in if you're running your business every day or maybe you're not running your business every day and that's the problem. I think about that totally if you want to be an entrepreneur in a successful on ninety nine times out of one hundred. You're working more than forty hours a week you are. It's your business. There's nobody who's going to care about it more than you. And if you aren't working at more than forty hours a week guarantee you other entrepreneurs who are right behind you are working really really hard known business. You kind of never stopped thinking about it. It's it's constantly on your mind and once you come to terms with that. I think you're better off. You're doing cool. We're getting closer to our time. Do want to give you a chance to plug your song one more time. And how do we find you. Sure you got like a website or something. We can find those two stayed alive in five. Stayed alive in forty five. Is the name of the new single. My name is matt kerner. My last name is funky style. The ko e. r. n. e. r. matt kerner and you search matt kerner on youtube spotify music any of those platforms. You can find the song and also the music video on youtube. And then if you go to matt kerner music dot com. That's my website and matt kerner music on all the social media platforms instagram facebook twitter. All that good stuff you can find me there too so it's just My name is funky k. O. e. r. n. e. r. Your name. her name is not funky. Your names actually kerner. But okay. I get it appreciate it. Hey okay. I'm probably not supposed to ask you this. And if not if it ain't cool and that's fine but you're sitting there and you got your guitar behind you. Do you want to actually play. I mean or maybe you're not supposed to or whatever i know. Some musicians are like could asked me to sing a song writer. Well if you're willing to do let's do it. That's awesome so all moves down a little bit. Hopefully i know. I dropped the ball on.

Great name in coming from great story also So how were you able to. If you're only seven eight years old. When he told that story how were you able to remember the details. Well enough to actually register we go back and get philipson details with him later on when you really great question i just you know. He told me a whole bunch of stories and there. There's another one. I can tell you too but i just remember him and if i'm if i'm going to be completely honest with you maybe i filled in some details without really knowing it but that's what i remember from what he told me at at eight nine years old and it's just one of those things that always stuck in the. I'll never forget i was. I was sitting at his dinner. Table made a white tablecloth has much holes in. I could smell the house. i could feel the tablecloth. I remember my grandmother coming in putting your hands on my shoulders and whispering in my ear. You need to pay attention to this because he never talks about this It just half things you just remember at night is one of them and think i filled in any details. Maybe i have. But i wrote it a wrote when i was see two thousand fourteen twenty four so it was sixteen years later. So that's what. I remembered from the conversation sixteen years later another really cool thing about that is i. Wrote the song thinking. I was the only person that he he did that with. And he passed away own. I i wrote the song and fourteen. I wasn't quite finished with a sambas. Pretty much done played it for my family. And grandpa had nine grandchildren myself. And i played it for my family in each room. Said he grabbed us and sat us down individually during that time too and so it obviously was something triggered in him or he wanted. His lake is see in his stories to be remembered through his grandchildren and it was it was. It was not a dry here in the house. When i played that song for everybody and everybody was like we had the same experience. It was an amazing moment. Cool wanted to touch on a couple of things that story. That concept of that story reminds me of the movie memorial day. Have you ever seen that memorial day..
