if I knew that it didn't her bring her that it didn't drive her crazy there's a lot
2:02
more that I would bring home you know oh yeah i'm off the chain like that so so
2:08
you're like the kind of guy that would need a storage unit at some point to store all the stuff that you got because you've been collecting for years and
2:15
years and years yeah i I try not to be that OD with it is that the level like the storage unit level like I'm not
2:22
there i'm not there and um I don't want to be there so my grandfather was a hoarder oh yeah he was a packrat bro so
2:29
it's like I've seen I've seen that yeah i don't want to I don't want to like have to like climb over stuff squeeze
2:36
through anywhere to just try to walk through the cave of boxes try to try to get simple access to something you know
2:42
what I'm saying um so George Foreman man
2:48
um yeah before before we hit on George though we definitely going to hit on George i would like to give a shout out
2:54
to somebody um this organization this shirt that I'm wearing right here is Tap Out Cancer shout out Tap Out Cancer uh
3:02
shout out Tap Out Cancer tap Out Cancer is a um nonprofit organization that
3:08
throws uh jiu-jitsu tournaments
3:13
all over the country and they um they do it for uh cancer awareness cancer
3:20
research and stuff like that they they give they give their money to those causes and um I really appreciate that
3:26
you know so it's purpose-based business purpose-based business but like especially in a world of sports combat
3:32
where everybody's a dog it's a dog eat dog world more than a lot of others
3:37
there's a lot of attitude and there's a lot of you know everybody you know it's life you know everybody's trying to
3:42
trying to figure it out everybody's trying to make money and do different things in terms of uh the events and stuff like that not everyone these
3:49
people are really nice they treat you right you know so what I heard was it's
3:54
a fight when you're you know you go in the ring you say doggy dog kind of thing
4:00
you You mean it's like it's a fight just like a fight for your life yeah well in
4:07
jiu-jitsu you know when you're competing it's like it's like who can control the other
4:14
person or who can uh get another person into a submission fast enough like get
4:20
something to the point where it's about to break so that the other person taps or until the point that the other person's about to go to sleep like you
4:27
know like and like if it weren't on the mat if we were out on the streets it would be a different story yeah yeah and
4:32
you talked about in the past I don't know if you've done done it on camera yet but about every time that you're
4:40
submitted you would consider it like a life
4:45
yeah i I definitely hold that philosophy that um every time you tap you die and it's a
4:53
symbolic death and um every time you die if you understand that your ego should
4:59
probably die just a little bit more with it that's what Yeah and um after such a
5:05
long time of doing it you know I'm I'm a brown belt i've competed um at all belts
5:13
i've done very well at all belts except brown belt cuz it's just it's a everybody's higher level man right and
5:20
um like I I don't care as much about losing yeah because I understand it's like hey
5:28
that was that guy's day today you know and um we all have our days and um it's all a part of the balance and like we
5:36
try to well some of us you know in tradition we with with that understanding try to allow as much of
5:43
our ego to die as humanly possible and often times in like my regular like
5:48
day-to-day life people that are close to me often don't understand that there's
5:54
really things that I really do not care about i just don't because I've let go of so
6:00
much and like when I say that meaning like there's things that people think you care about more and they're like
6:06
trying to like make you feel better about something and like get into a conversation and all that and you're just like I really I re you don't want
6:13
to say it but you're like I really I know you're trying to be supportive but the thing that you're you're thinking is
6:19
so I value so much is not a big value like that there certain stuff they think
6:25
you that you that you trip off that you really you really you're like dude like I'm so past that yeah you say your ego
6:32
the lives uh every time you're submitted it's like a piece of your life and that translates
6:39
to a piece of your ego going away um and these people like tap out cancer and you
6:46
know people that are fighting a battle for their life with cancer yeah in my opinion they get
6:53
it and so that's why I support I support that organization you know and and again like Brazilian jiu-jitsu has been in the
7:01
United States for so long now how long's Brazilian jiu-jitsu been here in America
7:07
man at least at least 40 years right wow
7:14
probably longer than that but you know that prior to that being there there was judo which uh was waza and then vaza you
7:22
know it has ground that's where uh jiu-jitsu is born from is judo it derives from judo and then uh the ground
7:30
part of judo went into Japanese jiujitsu and then it made its way to Brazil and
7:35
here we are today right but on its journey in America because America is America right like the the philosophy is
7:43
western All right so with that being said there's most of these guys no longer uh carry on traditions in terms
7:50
of how they teach and the etiquette of their schools and a lot of this it's evolved if that's what you want to say
7:57
sure well that's it's evolved everything evolves yeah but like just like our last
8:02
something some things not for the better well you know understood uh but just like our last episode where we talked
8:09
about the swastika and over time uh it
8:14
was really only the last hundred years or so it's significance all throughout history up until a certain point in time
8:20
right yeah um and so this is something that's evolving wow that's that's interesting i'm glad we got to like
8:26
learn a little bit about tap out cancer and I definitely see that that related
8:32
to uh fighting for your life is like a different type of battle and you know
8:39
it's something that I see in different people everybody has a different fight you know but I do believe everybody is
8:47
fighting some kind of fight yeah 100% you know what I mean and with that being said
8:53
I would like to take this time to send some love
8:58
good vibes and prayers out to the people who just suffered a earthquake in
9:05
Thailand in Myanmar they just had a 7.7 earthquake yeah you told me about that i
9:11
I still had didn't know until you just said yeah it's it's 7.7 is that's big
9:18
scale-wise i mean you know we were in a 7.2 when we were kids and that was quite dramatic in in the world like I haven't
9:24
heard many bigger than 7.7 so it's it's a big deal and um again our prayers from the gambler and the guardian go out to
9:32
those people man you know they they need they need it yeah um we have prayers
9:40
and also on fighting we this last week we just lost uh one of the
9:48
man uh best fighters ever in history yeah one of the top 10 one of the top 10
9:54
heavyweights in history um and and not just a fighter but a personality this
10:01
man was he was a c cultural icon icon cultural cultural icon right i mean minister he he served the people
10:08
inventor his product when we were growing up was in damn near every house you walked into
10:17
you know yeah he's been and and uh what he lives is this 76 years yeah he lived
10:23
to be 76 years old uh we're talking about Big George Foreman man big George
10:30
Foreman man he was a bad bad man um I remember watching him fight when I was
10:36
a kid he was like against the Vander Holyfield that's what I remember i was
10:42
uh with my pops and my brother and my uh Papa Frank yeah and I got to see I mean
10:51
in San Francisco uh and Evander he beat him he had a mean
10:57
he had a unique style of boxing though if you ever Yeah foreman like So I'm a
11:02
student of boxing i boxed um Yeah george Foreman had this unique style of boxing
11:08
that they call a modified tie tie system where everybody else holds their hands you
11:15
know one protecting here and one in the front of you right
11:20
george would do that but when he knew he was going to be defensive George would put his arms up like this and it's like
11:27
you're not going to get through this he had this system you know some some stuff would slip through but again George was
11:33
a tank he was big only one time in George Foreman's career was he knocked
11:39
out only once by by who muhammad Ali the greatest the greatest
11:46
okay so it's like that says a lot about him that that makes him one of the greatest as well well yeah i mean he uh
11:54
he he fought how many fights oh yeah he had like uh what 80 81 fights 81 fights
12:03
81 fight and that's you know we're talking professional fights that's not all he's had this man's had I'm sure in
12:09
hundreds of fights right uh 81 fights 76
12:14
wins with 68
12:19
wins by knockout oh he was a brawler oh no he was
12:24
flushing he was flushing stuff out yeah he was he was he was putting him down and he's so big how much did he weigh
12:30
man it says he's 6'3 um says 78 inch
12:36
reach but like how much did he really weigh i I remember seeing the movie and
12:41
it was like he he got big when he became a minister he's probably a good 250 or
12:48
you know I think he he got probably at his fighting weight you say it was 250
12:55
somewhere probably between 235 and 250 at box at fight weight i'm sure I'm I'm
13:01
pretty sure somewhere around to check in on that um it heavyweights heavyweights
13:06
actually right now um there was a time period where heavyweights were like
13:12
getting smaller but like heavyweights are getting big again man they got some big heavyweights but it's just like the athleticism is missing or they just have
13:20
excellent athleticism great size and they just don't have the skills to pay the bills you know they're not they're
13:26
not quite they're not quite as as uh talented in that in that arena as they
13:31
used to be oh you called it man what how much you said that during his uh it says
13:38
220 to 225 was his prime yeah yeah but not that he was that all the time and
13:45
really he's like 260 yeah yeah and when he got like real big like when he was the minister and like uh stopped
13:52
fighting and stopped training um he got over 300 there's people that do it i'm
13:59
probably the only person that I know that does it damn near every time that when I compete um in combat sports like
14:05
almost every time I've had to go up and wait to compete while mostly everybody else has to drop down so like have to go
14:11
down yeah your walk weight is not what you fight at why do you have to go up and wait
14:19
because my ego okay because because that's not the answer I
14:25
expect because I'm I'm I'm honest i'm 6'7 um I like to you know compete uh at
14:33
around 220 or or or better but I might walk around at anywhere between
14:40
195 to 210 what are you right now uh right now
14:45
you're light right now about 204 204 okay and I'm so like I got the frame to
14:51
carry it it always goes on me evenly it's not like it's anywhere like Yeah nothing's heavy so uh but at this point
14:59
you know with my age my joints don't like it extra weight my
15:04
joints don't like it so I'm going to try to start competing at what I walk at man you know I think that's a good idea but
15:11
like yeah you can't these guys are like like uh you got a guy that's walking
15:16
around at 260 he comes into the ring at 225 and then you got guy that comes in at what he walks at at 260 yeah the guy
15:24
that walks at 260 is going to be very strong he's going to hit harder but he's
15:29
going to die in the stamina and endurance department and he's not going to have the speed either so it's like we
15:35
got to meet each other in the middle here and that's why uh these guys these guys do this because they want to
15:40
perform at at their optimal uh you know
15:46
yeah makes sense so George is you know he started out boxing at an early age
15:53
you know um and he actually competed in the Olympics yes he did
15:58
i saw some clip that he was it was like him saying that that was the most
16:05
important thing or the uh being the gold medalist in the Olympics i mean that
16:11
means like like I don't care what anybody what other titles that means at that point that day best in the world
16:17
that day in the world and uh so there's the most illustrious I I've said this on
16:23
here before you're going to hear me say it again the most illustrious title in the world
16:28
all the all the Super Bowls are cool you know all the NBA all that all the
16:35
team sports are cool but the most illustrious title in the world is world
16:41
heavyweight champion that's true there's nothing more than
16:46
that that means you're the baddest man on the planet there's probably some out there that
16:52
might be bad but guess what we don't know who they are you're him yeah it's just there's all kinds of different uh
16:58
ways that athletes compete for being a heavyweight champion you know
17:04
back in the day it was about boxing when you say that uh most people would relate
17:10
it to boxing but there's other disciplines in martial arts where you
17:15
know uh it's a it's a different battle they're all Yeah they're all apples to oranges
17:22
at this point i mean everyone should know at this point and I don't know why these uh these fans you know that have
17:31
never laced up gloves before or got on the mat before or kicked somebody or
17:37
gotten kicked um make comparisons between athletes that are in different combat sports and
17:45
it's like yeah he would better yeah okay yeah but if he met him in a boxing ring and only was boxing he he he'd he he'd
17:52
be in trouble in there and it's like there's always these debates that are un you know there's
17:58
really no place for them well but some of them make sense like I just saw Mike Tyson fight Jake Paul and you know
18:07
watching that whole thing was like Mike Tyson if he really did what he can
18:13
do he he would have actually threw the punches i mean there's a whole bunch of people that still think that Jake Paul
18:21
beat Mike Tyson yeah I get it i understand Scops we'll get to that later
18:26
oh oh this this is going to be one of those episodes you know like where we
18:32
continue pushing ourselves you know and you know starting out with George
18:38
Foreman i mean that's what he did you know he went out there and he he pushed himself for the better part of his first
18:46
of his life based on being angry like he he was mean right i mean he he
18:52
had a tough childhood he's a hard worker and and a hard worker
18:58
and he pushed himself and had that grit and to determination to be the best to
19:04
be what what you just said the heavyweight champion and um he also had ties um to the Bay Area
19:13
yeah you were saying that yeah he had ties to the Bay over on um over on uh
19:18
what is it uh I think it's like B Street
19:24
um in uh in uh Jackson right over there in
19:29
Hayward there's a Ace Hardware that just got shut down a couple years ago the building's still empty it's for lease
19:36
that um it was that same Ace Hardware that was there when George Foreman was
19:42
training upstairs from that Ace Hardware in Hayward California so like Yeah
19:47
george had to tie us to the bay man wow that's kind of cool to have one of
19:54
the greatest ever yep and the building's still there we going to go see it i'll take you over there
20:00
that's has that energy you know what I mean has that energy over there
20:05
and um Yeah so like at this point in time in in heavyweight boxing what makes the difference to me between now and
20:11
then was the level of competition there was a whole bunch of big bad boys
20:16
back then that were hard hitters hard workers and you know the standouts had to really prove it you know at this
20:23
point in time I don't feel I feel like the the pile is is thin and like those who have something will just you know
20:30
flow right through them they don't have too much opposition george had all of
20:35
the opposition he fought all of the who's who of of of heavyweight boxing who were also champions he he fought all
20:41
of the champions the only one he didn't fight Mike Tyson
20:47
i mean you know George and that would have been probably one of the best
20:53
fights ever because they both had that killer instinct i don't think it would have made a good fight for George though
21:00
it's pretty hard to go up against Mike unless you're Jake Paul i mean that's back to the disciplines and the rules
21:07
and the how the game is right or who's signing the check right well that's what
21:14
it comes down to right um and and but
21:20
George was a businessman too entrepreneur again inventor he invented
21:26
uh Everybody knows it i don't know if these kids I don't know if this generation even knows oh for sure
21:32
they've seen them they still sell them huh for sure they still sell them i still got one i had multiple the Foreman
21:39
grill was made by George Foreman was invented by George Foreman and um he uh
21:45
he he invented it started the company and ran it for a good uh some good years
21:51
and he sold it and now I don't know who owns it but yeah shout out to George for
21:56
the Farming Grill because it's like the like healthiest alternative to cooking
22:01
like literally yeah it it was crazy that he took like
22:06
years away from the sport alto together and then came back and became a champion
22:13
again the oldest uh he's also the oldest uh champion he became champion older
22:20
than anyone and he was the oldest heavyweight champion i believe he was uh ever
22:26
at the end of it he was 48 right i don't I don't know how so yeah he was
22:32
he was in his high 40s he might have been 45 or something 40some he was high in his high 40s when he became a
22:38
heavyweight champion when he when he beat Evander Holyfield to become uh world heavyweight champion again did he
22:46
beat a Vander Holyfield yeah that's where he took the belt from
22:51
bro are you serious yeah i I Yeah yeah look if you look on his uh if you look
22:57
on his record where where do I go here i'm so like go back to the main page and
23:03
scroll up and you'll see it it'll be like uh boxing record you might have too much open keep going down you see it's
23:10
professional boxing record closes amateur career it'll be below that
23:16
okay amateur career yeah keep going keep going professional early career yep keep
23:23
going keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going
23:31
keep going keep going keep going that was Frasier hold on come back 10 that's it right there
23:37
yep okay in 1987 after 10 years away from the ring Foreman surprised the
23:43
boxing world by announcing a comeback at the age of 38 came back at 38 no started coming back
23:50
at 38 but by the time he fought Holyfield how old was he okay so
23:57
for verse Cooney you know who Cooney is foreman verse no that's the great white hype oh that is Jerry Cooney right
24:05
that's the one they thought that they um that that was going to be Muhammad Ali see there's always I don't know if everybody knows this but there hasn't
24:12
always been one but when uh black fighters started getting into boxing there became there was always a great white hype because the black dudes kind
24:19
of took over because they were just dumb athletic and strong and um yeah you know
24:26
for the culture right they always tried to get the great white hype they wanted to take him down they always tried to
24:31
you know wanted their great white champion but um Jerry Cooney didn't make it he didn't He didn't do that he didn't
24:38
He didn't beat Ali for sure
24:43
that's funny uh so Foreman vers Hollyfield uh Foreman was given the
24:49
opportunity to challenge undisputed heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield for the world title in a pay-per-view
24:55
boxing event uh this is all from Wikipedia by the way at 42 years old at
25:00
42 years old he weighed um uh
25:05
he just had a small chance of winning you see what he weighed though you see what he said he weighed 257 pounds see
25:11
tell you i told you he began the contest by marching forward absorbing several
25:17
Holyfield's best combinations and occasionally landing a powerful swing of his own holyfield proved too tough and
25:24
agile to knock down and was well ahead on points throughout the fight but
25:29
Foreman surprised many by lasting the full 12 rounds yeah i mean 257
25:36
lbs last that long uh he lost in the end on points oh yeah okay so then it keeps
25:43
on going right oh Morrison this is another one that he lost tommy the Gun damn see Tommy Morrison was another one
25:50
that um his he had the saddest story didn't he die of AIDS bro the story
25:57
here's the story what's the story the story is that he had AIDS he contracted AIDS and then he had to uh vacate and
26:04
give up boxing i think he was the champion at the time or he was real close to being the champion he was knocking out everybody yeah they wanted
26:11
him to fight Mike years later they came out and said that he didn't have AIDS
26:18
what yeah we going to do something on that we going to Oh man that's crazy so
26:23
they just essentially What happened to him he fizzled out man he um
26:31
So he he tried to still fight he was old by then bro oh man so is he still alive
26:37
i don't think so i'm not positive on that but I don't think so so but Tommy
26:42
the Gun was a real deal hey Tommy Morrison was scaring the world like he was out
26:48
there he was like a white mic dog like he was really knocking stuff out out there yeah he beat Foreman unanimous
26:54
decision no he was beating everybody and then Tommy Morrison was beating
27:00
everybody bro uh foreman verse Moore
27:06

27:11
Oh whoa is that Briggs he fought Shannon Briggs that's crazy shannon the Cannon shout out Shannon

with Kenny kenny hit me so damn hard i kept boxing with him but I was like "Oh my god what just happened?" Like I knew
29:21
I knew I knew lock you down nah I knew he had hit me so damn hard though that something felt like it didn't feel
29:27
before like you know what I mean so you know just kind of King David Estrada i
29:33
love you brother that's my brother i love King David Estrada david Estrada man uh Shy Town
29:39
shy Town boy uh I I believe David's Mexican and Guatemalan man david David
29:45
was a boxer for a long time did really good in boxing man and I was uh training people down in LA man so anybody down in
29:51
LA looking for a good trainer man go see King David Estrada yep that's what's up
29:58
so with all the time getting hit fighting all this stuff does it does it
30:05
mess with like the way you think well thank thank the
30:11
Lord like brain so I learned I learned fundamentals of boxing uh from from
30:17
Lewis and um but I like I I did good because of my
30:24
athleticism and my body but I still didn't know how to box like I do now like I didn't have the polish i didn't
30:29
quite like understand how the fundamentals applied to me and what else I was doing but uh I developed a system
30:36
that is all about protection that um I very rarely get hit like since since
30:42
that's come into play and it's been many years i've sparred with many people um so you adapted based on kind of all the
30:51
stuff that was happening and how to protect yourself yeah like even when I like even when I throw punches I'm
30:57
protecting myself and it's just like you know uh trying to have everything in the
31:02
right place all the time just like having your fundamentals that tight so that you know cuz what happens
31:10
it's not like you don't get hit unless you make a mistake it's like jiu-jitsu you see in jiu-jitsu like everything's
31:17
tight everything's good you're not going to give anyone anything you're not going to get tapped out until you make a mistake and somebody capitalizes on that
31:23
mistake uh it's the same thing in that regard
31:29
that's that's super interesting um I think it relates and you know everything
31:34
relates to like the topic that we're going to be transitioning to which is
31:41
essentially how to think you know um which I mean
31:49
seems like there's so much going on in the world now that are different ways to
31:57
show you how to think or train your brain or get you Oh yes um you mean like
32:02
um a lot of like suggestive like hey this is so that's something I
32:09
said in another part of ours too like um I do not like to watch something where I'm trying to get information and the
32:16
person that is giving the information is expressing their opinion about it while
32:22
they're giving the information that indicates to me that they want me to think like that too right of course and
32:28
it's like instead of trying to give the information in a way that's just trying
32:33
to educate or uh allow you to take it and allow me to allow me to disseminate
32:40
the information on my own uh and allow me to go through my own process to jump to my own conclusions and um when when
32:48
that's not done I feel I feel um I feel like insulted like Rachel Maddo
32:55
like that lady Rachel Maddo like I that's why I would never watch her i I
33:00
watched her a couple times and it's like even if what you were saying was right or whatever the information is like like
33:08
just being so snarky and just so like nasty about what you're talking about like can I can I make up my mind for
33:14
myself here like why do I feel like I got like somebody that's just nasty telling me about something like they want me to hate somebody else too
33:20
because they hate him like yo bro like no yeah I that happens all the time and
33:28
it's happened in life forever even as a child you know you go through it and you
33:33
have uh gossip and all this stuff and um it it
33:40
definitely everything has a piece of it what you see on TV when you scroll your phone the
33:46
different you know uh uh pictures that you see memes it all it all comes in and
33:53
and affects you in some way and thinking critically is the ability to analyze the
34:00
facts to form a judgment it's not just about what you think it's about how you
34:07
think how does that hit when you hear that well for me I wonder like exact That's a
34:14
good question like um
34:20
the way I think is like I try to like keep my conscience
34:26
involved all the time and try to be mindful all the time so it's like I'm entering stuff thinking
34:33
how I should think right so you've kind of trained yourself in a way up put like little boxes around
34:42
to allow yourself to think properly and that's really interesting because why
34:47
critical thinking matters is in a noisy fastm moving world critically thinking
34:54
acts as your mental filter and that's what you're saying you put a little box a little filter around yeah and the only
35:01
the only time it fails is when like you know I might be in a conversation
35:07
with my lady that turns into something else where you get emotional and
35:12
emotions get involved and I'm outside of my discipline ah yeah okay you know that
35:19
makes that makes a lot of sense um it makes it more difficult to keep your discipline when you're when you're
35:25
dealing with a significant other yes so critical thinking acts as your mental
35:32
filter it keeps you from bi blindly following trends falling for propaganda
35:39
or being emotionally hijacked
35:46
can you read that one more time that's a crazy one that you just said right there that's a big can of worms you're opening
35:51
yeah so critical thinking keeps you from blindly following trends
35:57
falling for propaganda or being emotionally hijacked all right now we
36:02
know this critical thinking is not for everybody well I think it could be nope
36:11
you're all happy cuz I I think I know what you're going to say because not everyone has the ability
36:18
to do it why not well I'm probably going to sound crazy to a lot of people right
36:24
now but um I I've done some research on this because this is just a subject that's been bothering me my whole life
36:31
it is said that 40 to 50% of human beings do not
36:37
have what is called an internal voice meaning
36:42
they cannot hear their own thoughts in their head they cannot have what is called an internal dialogue right which
36:48
gives you the ability to make good decisions or not right which is the reason why many people are constantly
36:55
being taken advantage of these are also these people that are more apt to be
37:01
naturally selected that's why in that I believe God I believe in God i
37:08
believe God makes no mistakes not all men all men are created equal
37:14
but different people have different gifts and different things like that and the internal voice is something
37:21
that people who have it should realize that it is a gift it's not for everybody not all men are meant to be kings
37:29
if everyone had this ability to have this internal voice and to be a sharp thinker
37:35
I think a lot more people would be trying to get over on each other even more than they are now and we'd be
37:40
fighting that's just my opinion but so it's hard it's hard to it's hard
37:46
to say that that's a big one you know without taking that into consideration yeah so what's happening today uh the
37:53
rise of clickbait headlines that appeal to em motion instead of logic right uh
38:01
so an example is you won't believe what this politician just said uses emotional
38:07
charge and exaggeration to lure views and you know we have to do it when we
38:14
make our titles for the show we got to make it in a way that attracts people to want to click it it's the same kind of
38:21
thing um so this is this happens even if your intent is to be a good person all
38:28
the things that you're trying to do you still need to you you're a part of the
38:33
world like our marketing has to use some of these things yeah so there's the aspect of attraction and then there's
38:39
the as there you go the aspect of um capturing and then there's the aspect of keeping
38:46
so you know uh so AI generated content blurs the line between authentic and
38:55
artificial you know it's this is all brand new right yeah that stuff is crazy bro i
39:01
mean we use so much of it yeah but we don't use it like that yeah for sure but
39:06
you know if you're not using it like how you going to keep up in today's world where you know it helps you push more
39:15
stuff out generate more content i think those people that have the ability to do it though I think they're they're going
39:22
to shine through because of their level of authenticity yeah i think I think
39:27
that's important and they're they're like more like they're more intricate more of their stuff comes from here yeah
39:35
so I believe those people are going to be the winners when when I say the winners meaning AI
39:41
is going to win but they're going to be the boutiques that still exist makes sense you still got to put your
39:48
heart and soul into it uh but you know if you know when they just came out with
39:55
the eight cylinder engine for the first time or you know whatever next level uh
40:03
in any tech space you got to move with it or else you get
40:09
left behind you know um this this talks about the next thing is media bias
40:16
and hyperartisanship fuel echo chambers so that's what you were talking about about the lady and I
40:23
forget the name but Rachel Meadow yeah that she she goes on there and rants and
40:29
puts her stuff out there and and then whoever receives that literally becomes
40:35
the same thing to the next person ranting to them and it's and it creates this echo chamber where they all go
40:41
around and this is you know so as it's presented to you this type of information in that manner it does not
40:47
leave much open for interpretation for you so it's kind of like
40:53
it's going to leave you in that place that's like that's Yeah you know what I mean yeah yeah you know something that I
41:00
got to say here too we're going through this you know uh
41:06
episode on critical thinking and we're going to we're going to talk about you know uh different types of education to
41:13
learn more about it and then um different logical fallacies
41:19
as well as uh search for truth in like a
41:24
world where it's like post-truth and a lot of this stuff like Nathan and I are
41:30
not the experts you know we're doing this cuz we know we believe it's
41:36
important and we believe it's a foundation of how we should be as
41:42
fathers and as humans and uh to to do our best and be a contribution in
41:48
society and we we believe that this information and going through and learning about this oursel we're
41:53
students here and as we learn it's part of the thing that we want to put out
41:59
there to you the the objective of you know while you're being a parent is to do a better job
42:05
you know than the generation before that's it and um you know
42:12
we always want to do that that's always the sentiment that we share but we do not always have the tools to be able to
42:19
do that you know so we need the tools to be able to have the ability to want to do something like this and that's
42:25
basically one of the things that Anony's saying there that's you know we're we're trying to um again provoke thought
42:33
give you guys some things to think about converse about that'll hopefully make you better human beings like it's making
42:39
us better human beings yeah and more aware of what's going on yes more
42:44
conscious absolutely so there is a in our research we saw there is a critical
42:51
thinking framework and uh the source is Paul and Elder uh 2002 and it has
43:00
elements of thought right and it says that it's you have a purpose you have a
43:06
question you have information then you have an interpretation
43:12
of concepts and then you create assumptions which have implications
43:18
based on a certain point of view that's crazy that you're saying this right now when I hear all this you know what I
43:24
think of what word comes to my mind woke
43:29
why why why does that come to your mind because woke is the most mischaracterized word right now that's
43:36
being used in in the United States of America really in my opinion yes because woke
43:43
didn't come from what they're using it as woke was a term that was used in the
43:50
black community for enlightened it's like you see what isn't normally
43:57
seen yeah um or used like remember how I was telling you
44:03
about sleep like you sleep like meaning you don't want to take that opportunity oh you sleep i'm on that that type of a
44:10
thing right yeah and um and they took it and they flipped it there's people there's people there's people who are
44:16
who are uh in the media that chose this word
44:24
because of who it who it was tied to at that point in time and turned it into
44:30
something else they basically straw manned the word they So you're talking about they built a caricature
44:37
out of what they wanted it to be and made it apply to the word woke and now
44:42
woke is something that's a negative there's a negative connation behind the
44:47
word woke without many people even knowing its origin yeah so what Nathan said about a straw man a straw man is
44:56
essentially a logical fallacy okay and and the straw man misrepresenting
45:05
someone's argument to make it easier to attack and that's that's with that with
45:11
that with that form of it that's with bad intention but you can also do it unintentionally oh yeah of course by by
45:20
like if somebody says something to you and you react to it that react to it
45:25
without fully understanding it so you're building a caricature out of what they're saying based on what you think
45:30
it is that they're saying and then you react to it that's straw manning as well
45:37
yeah um so back to this critical thinking framework uh there's
45:44
intellectual standards as well and those come with clarity accuracy precision
45:51
relevance depth breath logic significance and fairness right so
45:59
you'll adapt the a framework where you include the elements of thought and the
46:05
intellectual standards and use it as a way to uh to combat
46:11
uh and increase your level of critical thinking um and there's different ways
46:17
that you can use uh different things that you could do that help this happen
46:26
h so one of the things that you do to uh
46:32
combat it is to pause before reacting and I see you doing this all the time
46:37
you're actually like very good about this uh it uh it says the first step in
46:44
avoiding manipulation is slowing down your emotional response
46:50
so take time to make a decision of how you make your next move yep yep that's
46:57
something to be absolutely mindful of that you know
47:03
does not get lost when emotions get involved um I think I absolutely think
47:10
more about being mindful and think a lot more about what I say before I speak on
47:17
a normal basis mhm than when I would in a situation that
47:22
uh it's like a uh what do you like a debate
47:28
you know what I mean it all depends on the debate too though you know like if I'm debating with my lady that thought process it's like out yeah you it goes
47:35
straight on the emotional side yes like if it's a one to 100 and a 100 is is
47:42
intellectual you know and or and the opposite is emotion is like Yeah yeah
47:50
mhm so another way to combat it is to seek evidence
47:56
ask what is the source can I verify it and this doesn't necessarily mean that
48:02
you need to you know if you're talking with somebody it's this is in your in your head you know um uh you know it if
48:11
you ask deeper questions of it or and a lot of people naturally do all these things you know um when you do different
48:19
jobs like you're an attorney you you make sure that you're thinking legally based on what you already know and your
48:25
brain is trained right um and you can ask probing questions so who benefits
48:32
from this narrative right that's what people are doing all the time with all
48:38
you know uh all the political based stuff you better do that when somebody wants money from you yeah it's
48:44
definitely something to think about is you know
48:49
Anthony Anthony didn't silence his phone
48:56
but yeah um
49:02
asking probing questions is definitely something that is is a necessity um you
49:08
know and if if if that's that's essentially the first part of the sniff test isn't it
49:15
you know yeah i think everybody naturally does this we don't even want to get to the point that we see something like we don't want to see
49:21
anything yet like we don't want to we don't want to you understand where I'm coming from we don't want to get to the point that we see something that we're
49:27
like "Oh no we would No let's talk about this first." And see the older people that's why they got the patience and
49:33
they'd be so smart they just like "No oh let me just let's just talk about this
49:38
for a little longer yeah but uh the one they've learned to be patient in making
49:45
decisions and they call that being wise you know in a lot of ways but then also
49:52
the older people are the ones that have all the media bias yeah but you know that is a big a big
49:58
part of that is uh so those people that we're talking about when they were kids
50:04
they used to go to somebody's house like a whole bunch of people from their house
50:09
and the neighbor everybody would go to somebody's house to watch a TV because not everyone had televisions right TV
50:15
was invented in their lifetime true let's like let's think about basics
50:22
yeah yeah back to the basics yeah people People TV was barely invented in their
50:27
lifetime be like literally before TV like they were only listening to the radio dude like that's the only thing
50:33
they had for news there was no like hey there was like long distance calling was
50:38
thought to be so expensive that like no like people barely wanted to do it there was no like calling your brother in
50:44
Florida like like daily to tap in there was no daily tapping in with nobody like
50:49
bro people were writing letters bro i remember writing letters when I was a
50:54
kid i still do that today yeah I don't write letters bro i'm calling if not I'm pulling up you know what I mean but like
51:01
yeah the ability uh the that's the that's the benefit of technology the
51:06
benefit of technology is the speed of implementation of which we can reach out
51:11
and communicate to people yeah so
51:17
I would say hearing about the technology and the benefit of reaching out to
51:24
people and being interconnected has made it a very global interconnected world um
51:31
it also is something to be said that you know uh in a very short amount of time
51:38
have we went from as a as a human race from being uh connected with each other
51:46
uh has gone extreme very fast 100% you know
51:53
and and being in a day like today where now you have aspects of of artificial
52:01
intelligence and and the ability that even the connection you may have may not
52:07
even be a real human being all that stuff scares those older people right like any of the possibility of being
52:14
frauded online and like the internet is like the internet right it's like oh my god right like remember they didn't have
52:21
TVs bro when they were born and then all that news that they had it was influenced by the government you know
52:28
what I mean i mean look in World War II Russia was our was our ally
52:33
after that big bad Russia in America that's what what it was right so everybody would like was like taught to
52:39
fear Russia and like all this like and like that's what they grew up in so like
52:46
they trust the news yeah they think that they think the news only tells the truth
52:52
well it's hard to know what to trust right and and that's where you know this
52:58
uh critical thinking really comes in to think about these probing questions who benefits from the narrative who could be
53:06
harmed by it so who does it not benefit who's the who's the attack on what facts
53:14
are there what may be missing and what's the counterpoint to what this is
53:21
suggesting right because there's always some kind of counterpoint you know um because your
53:28
brain wants to uh you know fill in the blanks without the proof it's just it
53:36
naturally wants to fill in the blanks so a lot of the messaging the different things we see on TV even even things
53:43
people say will um you know your brain will naturally fill in other blanks to
53:49
try to the brain the brain the brain likes the path of least resistance there yeah exactly you know the brain don't
53:56
want to break itself if it can just get if it could just get from A to B
54:02
you know yeah you know coming in and thinking
54:07
about truth right and
54:13
is it objective or subjective
54:20
and objective information is based on verifiable facts and evidence so that's
54:27
objective while subjective information is based on
54:32
personal opinions feelings or interpretation i said suggestive earlier when I meant
54:38
subjective okay suggestive yeah yeah subjective yeah subjective
54:45
yeah um and I I think that people are
54:52
genuinely in search of truth i think everyone does
54:57
both uh think objectively and subjectively i think everyone does both based on what
55:03
it is that they're talking about and their attachment to it um
55:12
it's all on again like not everyone interprets everything the same way right so if you interpret something one way
55:19
and I interpret something another way who's right and who's wrong
55:24
uh neither's Yeah you see where I'm coming from so that's why the truth
55:30
itself is objective
55:36
cuz it all depends on who you ask based on their perspective perspective
55:43
yeah cuz your truth might not be mine yeah
55:49
that's kind of deep yeah and like you know you'll have there's I've had discussions about this many times with
55:55
people people have many arguments for this but it's just like dude it's like is this considered a philosophical
56:02
it would be considered a philosophical conversation okay just I I'm learning these big words you know um and and a
56:09
lot of times philosophy is opinion- based okay yeah so it' be subjective yes
56:19
yes like uh like I always say uh politics is
56:26
based on what ideals it's based on something that how you
56:33
think something should be not how something is uh yeah so all politics is
56:39
based on ideals all of it because not everyone feels the same about it
56:47
not everyone's truth is the same so while people be getting mad about some
56:53
people having their turn we all going to have our turn we all have had our turn at some point in time
57:00
and it's all a part of the what the balance like Yeah people are crazy because they
57:06
get so outside of the basic school of thought because this is fundamentals we're talking about here yeah so this
57:13
goes back to at the very beginning when when we're speaking the basic basics
57:20
yeah of uh critical thinking and being the net that kind of helps you
57:29
uh make sure the crazy crazy stays out in a way and again not everybody has the
57:36
ability hold on let me get behind my mic not everybody has the ability again right
57:41
like not everybody can not everybody can critical think bro it's not for everybody and see there's some other
57:47
people though that are kind of that are conscious people that are that are in high places
57:54
that'll tell you critical thinking is a bad thing yeah that it's a bad thing yeah because
58:01
critical thinking breaks down into other critical areas of other types of
58:07
situations that people don't want to talk about yeah and that's my friend when it becomes
58:14
woke
58:21
you get you get me i actually don't it's I I don't because I'm I'm starting to
58:27
get lost a little bit and I think this happens to a lot of people where you you
58:34
start going down this road and at some point a lot of people go "Whoa dude i
58:39
just want to just live and but there's some people that just want the truth and
58:47
now you see where the divide is yeah cuz their truth is subjective
58:53
to their but everybody thinks that there's a
58:59
truth yeah that's where we have a problem so
59:06
essentially not everything is
59:12
red or blue that's right not everything is the hard truth or black or white or
59:18
whatever sometimes I try to I try not to speak too definitively about certain
59:23
things i am always open to learning that I'm wrong i hope I I hope that you can tell
59:31
me that I'm wrong and I can learn something new today you'll be giving me something that I didn't have when I woke up yeah i think all this critical
59:38
thinking stuff is something that it it seems like um just like anything else
59:46
something that you need to nurture uh just like your your health or you know
59:51
you've been uh in the martial arts world for almost 40 years right and and it's
59:58
something that you've nurtured over time and the same thing goes for your critical thinking and um and
1:00:08
if it's something that you haven't nurtured in a while it doesn't mean that you can't Yeah but it it is like that
1:00:16
though it's like a muscle bro that's what I'm saying you got to get that muscle back working if you don't if you
1:00:21
don't if you don't work it then when you pull up the first time you going to be a little uh with it you know what I mean
1:00:29
and you gonna have to work it you're going to have to work it back in get it back going because it's like imagine
1:00:36
being a person that has the ability to have these types of conversations
1:00:42
and you get put from one place to another place where you're surrounded by people that don't have that ability for
1:00:48
a long period of time and then you go back when you go back everybody's going to be like "Damn
1:00:55
you changed some something a little different." You got to tap back in you got to tap
1:01:00
back in to source and like get your get your game back up you know what I mean you got to be around those people though
1:01:06
you got to surround yourself with like minds in in order to be able to do that or else you might be dumbed down by the
1:01:12
people that surround you yeah for me I I've gone back to something that I used
1:01:19
to do a lot um and it's have a morning ritual and an evening ritual and just a
1:01:27
way I start myself and a way I finish myself knowing that
1:01:33
in doing this every day it's um it's
1:01:38
like what do they call it your circadian rhythm and how uh you know with the the
1:01:45
moon the star uh the sun and your body with every time you sleep you awake and
1:01:52
it's uh getting it aligned in a way that will allow
1:01:57
every other piece to come together yeah that's why I wake up right before my
1:02:02
alarm every day yeah yeah how many of our uh listeners do that too i mean come
1:02:08
on man that's got to be the thing i I used to do it all the time now uh not as
1:02:14
much you know and that's why I realize I need to go back routine is key to to
1:02:19
keeping up that that structure and doing that also supports my level of critical
1:02:26
thinking um because having that gives me the baseline of what is you know
1:02:34
grounded 100% so there's a type of education that's it's in like an ancient blueprint um and
1:02:42
and I don't know too much about it but I know um one of my best friends Alan
1:02:48
Atinson uh he talks about this all the time and he runs a
1:02:54
uh a Facebook group it's the Probiotic Farmers Alliance makes the best product
1:02:59
in the world yeah he has a product called Grashi and he uses this group as a beta testing
1:03:07
group and as well as a group that is uh that he's been training it the people
1:03:13
within it to be critical thinkers i'm a member of the Probiotic Farmers Alliance
1:03:19
as well yeah and and so am I and uh as well as
1:03:25
over 30,000 other people around the world um and and part of this group is
1:03:32
he trains it with this it's called trivium education and essentially it's an ancient blueprint and a way of um
1:03:41
essentially getting yourself to use critical thinking and so one of the
1:03:46
things that it does is it's it has uh it uses you know it's with grammar right so
1:03:54
the way people speak right and then um that's based on your input and knowledge
1:04:01
because you know someone speaks Spanish I may not even understand it and if I don't see them it's just a voice it's
1:04:08
like that's input knowledge nothing you know um uh and also logic and uh
1:04:16
processing and understanding dissemination yeah dissemination a big
1:04:23
key and so essentially this trivia education was developed in ancient
1:04:29
Greece um and you may have heard of like these two main uh people that that were
1:04:37
a part of it but uh Plato and Aristotle mhm you know uh you see a lot of quotes
1:04:44
you know and I don't have a quote of they're both very famous philosophers philosophers yeah so it's a a philosophy
1:04:51
yeah um and uh it was systematized in medieval education is is
1:04:59
you know what it was and foundation of classical liberal arts you know so all
1:05:05
kids learn some form of liberal arts you know um and who uses it today predominantly
1:05:13
it's taught in homeschoolers uh classical academics
1:05:18
um and some law schools and seminaries there's also like corporate training
1:05:24
programs uh that do this and they show uh decision-making frameworks and so the
1:05:32
key principles are grammar and mastering the facts and language
1:05:39
and then the next one is logic asking the right questions and identifying a
1:05:44
fallacy and then the third is called rhetoric
1:05:50
and it's expressing knowledge persuasively and ethically so how you
1:05:56
put it out there make sure that you are doing it in an ethical way but also persuasively
1:06:03
essentially uh making sure your point is being made h that's interesting
1:06:10
i try uh to be less rhetorical when I converse with people like I'm
1:06:15
trying to like be more more straight but I can see how that could be useful
1:06:21
yeah why it matters today is it gives people tools to analyze and communicate
1:06:27
clearly okay which I think everybody kind of strives for
1:06:34
i hope yeah i would I mean everybody you're since you were a little kid and
1:06:41
you like you wanted an ice cream you learned to persuade and you know you may
1:06:47
have used your crying which is the emotional
1:06:52
like was said earlier uh to get a response which sometimes works trying to
1:06:57
provoke trying to invoke or provoke a response right emotion yeah yeah very
1:07:03
interesting um and so um why this kind
1:07:08
of matters today is it gives people tools to analyze and communicate clearly and helps inoculate against manipulation
1:07:16
propaganda and information overwhelm try to try to
1:07:23
give you more skills to pay the bills you know
1:07:28
and um so how to apply it today use grammar to research and define terms
1:07:34
properly so you know as an adult suggestive versus subjective yeah
1:07:41
exactly same thing okay yeah uh you know
1:07:46
and be open to it right like be like own it own it oh yeah i just I guess that
1:07:51
was wrong like be out there with it don't be so like you know don't stand on
1:07:58
nothing that's wrong and don't you know be open and be uh how you go uh vulnerable about stuff like that because
1:08:05
everybody deals with it the same way not everyone knows everything the first time not everyone says everything the right
1:08:12
way every time not Not no one yeah yeah it's been like uh
1:08:19
a definite learning thing for me as you know being a dad having a a young lady
1:08:29
for a daughter now you know she's 15 years old and the aspect crazy yeah of
1:08:36
her um she's she's smart she's also like does debate so she has a lot of this
1:08:41
stuff she she has but she also um has
1:08:46
not you know she's only 15 you know she just hasn't been around that just hasn't
1:08:52
been around long enough yet just doesn't have the uh the inputs
1:08:59
you know what I mean hasn't built it yet and I'm finding that a lot of the
1:09:04
struggles that she goes through it relates to me and then I get to uh
1:09:13
implement something and do it with her which is
1:09:18
for her benefit but also also really for mine because it's something that I lost track of in getting older and just you
1:09:27
know bad habits or or not nurturing the good habits is what it was you know and
1:09:35
trying to get back to living my life where what I'm doing is nurturing the good habits okay you know what I mean
1:09:42
letting go of some of those bad ones and nurturing the good ones and um so you
1:09:49
know using this kind of you know framework and critical thinking
1:09:55
education and using it in your in your life
1:10:00
does support in doing the same thing you know and it it enables you to be able to
1:10:09
be in other types of situations outside of a social setting you know like in business or in in any anything in which
1:10:16
you have to deal with people that are you know um bigger people you know I
1:10:22
don't know for lack of a better word you know um being able to present yourself
1:10:28
uh well and you know be able to represent yourself well be a well spoken person to come off as someone who's uh
1:10:36
well thought out and considerate and all of these things it's important so that that's that's the use right yeah and um
1:10:45
of critical thinking stuff there's something that you know a logical fallacy is something that that
1:10:54
happens constantly throughout um throughout everything you do you read
1:11:00
you listen to people talk it's things that you would uh consider to be true
1:11:08
but it's not necessarily the case and different ways that people do these
1:11:15
things to make it happen am I explaining I think this is an oxymoron
1:11:22
because I I only am holding on to the last word fallacy
1:11:27
it's still a fallacy you could put any word you would like in front of it but it's still a fallacy well logical
1:11:34
is is essentially true
1:11:40
logical means using your brain yeah but it doesn't logical doesn't necessarily
1:11:46
mean that it's true let's look this up pull this so this is this is a good one
1:11:51
okay this is something that we need to dig deeper
1:11:57
okay logical means of or according to the rules of logic or formal argument
1:12:06
characterized by clear sound reasoning or natural sensible
1:12:13
given to the circum given the circumstances
1:12:18
so it's not necessarily the truth especially if you put it in front of a
1:12:23
word like fallacy right but it makes sense it can make sense but and it's
1:12:29
based on clear uh evidence all that stuff yeah so a
1:12:35
fallacy is a flaw or error in reasoning that makes an argument invalid
1:12:42
unound or weak often resulting from faulty logic ah misleading evidence or
1:12:50
irrelevant pre uh premises premise yeah premises but so you understand where I'm
1:12:58
coming from it's like you can't you can't you can't you can't decode fallacy with a word before it
1:13:05
you understand where I'm coming the logical makes sense fallacy is something
1:13:10
that that even though it makes sense you no you would think it makes sense this
1:13:16
is why it doesn't because of the fallacy yes so for instance the straw man which
1:13:23
you talked about before yes it would make sense but you're misrepresenting someone's argument to
1:13:31
make it easier to attack so an example would be
1:13:37
he wants police reform so he must hate cops oo that's a logical
1:13:44
fallacy just because you want police reform doesn't mean you hate cops right
1:13:50
right yeah there's a lot a lot of stuff like that and we got to watch out for that
1:13:55
stuff that's dangerous the logical fallacy is dangerous dog yeah this is
1:14:00
something that in Allen people will stand on those things too and and they they'll bamboozle you you Well that's
1:14:06
the whole thing oh yeah they're unmoved because they could argue it right um uh
1:14:12
another one is the ad homonym it's attacking the person not the argument m
1:14:19
so an example of this would be you can't trust her opinion on health she's overweight
1:14:25
so you're attacking the person not the fact that they know what the heck they're talking about
1:14:31
and the argument that's very interesting you know I I've
1:14:38
I've seen that and that's an interesting example you chose too
1:14:43
again you know AI thank you like puts it up there right um how about
1:14:52
appeal to emotion so manipulating emotions instead of
1:14:57
using valid reasoning so an example
1:15:02
using sad animal footage to avoid discussing animal agriculture facts
1:15:10
it's like you know it's like oh look at these poor animals and then it's like well these are the facts it's like but
1:15:18
everybody feels like oh man I saw that dog like you know
1:15:25
yeah um so what was it again what was the last one you just did appeal to
1:15:31
emotion appeal to emotion all right false dilemma presenting only two options when more
1:15:38
exist oh you dirty little dog oh yeah just trying to like only only just to to
1:15:46
lead you to believe that that's all there is so like Democrats these are the only options you have
1:15:54
there's no such thing as anything else yeah red or blue yeah that's wild uh example
1:16:00
you're either with us or you're against us well damn i thought those was my
1:16:06
options anyway um bandwagon fallacy
1:16:14
everyone believes it so it must be true this is the biggest one in parenting
1:16:20
that might be the biggest one everybody has a phone that might be the biggest one in America everybody has Snapchat
1:16:26
fandwagon fallacy mob mentality all that all that rides in the same bucket oh
1:16:32
yeah um example all your friends vape
1:16:37
why don't you you like peer pressure you remember as a kid it was like "Well if
1:16:43
everybody jumped off the bridge would you?" Would you right
1:16:48
yeah some people would jump off that bridge um the next one is slippery slope
1:16:55
oh this is a good one arguing one small step leads to disaster
1:17:02
like doom and gloom yeah um example if we allow this law soon we'll have no
1:17:10
freedoms left yo this AI is crazy with those things that is choosing cuz there
1:17:16
all these I mean this is a big topic of controversy brother controversy all over
1:17:21
the well but remember a logical fallacy is where it it makes perfect sense but
1:17:29
when you're doing it in this context it it's irrelevant it just it this is not
1:17:37
but that's where in the world today you need to use your critical thinking
1:17:43
because those headlines come up all the people you know uh saying all the things
1:17:48
they say all the way you're uh manipulating how you need to see through this stuff and these are some of the
1:17:55
fallacies that happen to allow you to see this is uh take that out of the
1:18:00
equation think critically Yeah consolidate that right makes sense
1:18:08
um circular reasoning
1:18:13
the conclusion is in the premise example I'm right because I said so
1:18:23
right i'd be like I'd be like I'd be like I know what I said cuz I was there when
1:18:28
I said it oh man that's a good one every parent
1:18:35
has done this at some time because I said so yeah I do i'll be doing this sometime and it's just like it's
1:18:42
basically just like a a it's over because part of it for me is it's like
1:18:47
the kids don't know what they need they just think they know what they need
1:18:52
so in some instances it's like just listen like I don't want to go through a
1:18:59
process just like listen just shut up and just cuz I said so you know what I
1:19:05
mean cuz I'm your dad that's why so everything is why you know and that's understandable when they're young they
1:19:11
need to learn you know so everything is why why but there comes a point with certain things you're like bro just do
1:19:17
what I told you to do bro you know yeah some things you let it go because there's learning and there's growth and
1:19:24
making your own decisions and seeing the consequences in some of these things you know but others it's like cuz I said so
1:19:33
yes cuz I'm your dad yes you know um appeal to authority relying on experts
1:19:41
rather than facts oh so being like because this guy said
1:19:47
so yeah people are followers bro i mean
1:19:52
everybody doesn't have the ability to think for themselves bro
1:19:58
they So is thinking for yourself thinking critically um
1:20:07
having an internal dialogue is thinking critically
1:20:14
that's a good answer if you if you don't have the ability to do that not like
1:20:19
that's what I'm saying this like a this critical thinking is not for everybody
1:20:25
that's what I'm saying like and and like my head hurts a little bit those people who are watching this that don't believe
1:20:32
what I'm saying you know somebody
1:20:38
you've known people in your life that are acquaintances of yours maybe friends maybe family members that there's
1:20:44
certain places that when you go you do not want to bring them with you oh yeah that's the thing because of it seems as
1:20:52
though they don't think about what they say before they say it you know who I'm talking about
1:20:58
and I got deja vu have you said that here before there's people
1:21:05
that because they don't have this ability
1:21:10
the internal voice yeah but they're judged away they're judged by everybody else because they think that they're
1:21:17
just an idiot or they they they they are whatever label that they would like to
1:21:23
label them that they don't think before they speak hey that's true but that's
1:21:30
about that's about it that's about the long and short of it um you know that person that it seems like you don't you
1:21:37
won't you don't want to take them to your mother-in-law's house you don't want to take them around certain type of
1:21:42
co-workers you don't want to take them around the boss you don't want to take them around certain type of people because they're going to embarrass you because you know they're going to say
1:21:48
something that you perceive to be stupid or that they didn't think about or offensive or something of this nature
1:21:55
yeah you guys go do your research on that there's not nearly enough data surrounding it but there is a few few uh
1:22:00
a few places that have done some research on it but in my opinion it's something that impacts humans every day
1:22:08
that not nearly enough humans know about we got to have more patience with each other guys yeah your internal voice
1:22:16
so another one here is uh they call it a hasty generalization
1:22:23
i'm guilty yeah I think everybody is in some ways at least in saying these
1:22:28
things drawing conclusions from limited data
1:22:35
an example would be I met one rude New Yorker they're all rude that is that is
1:22:42
one I I New Yorkers aren't all rude bro that's true but I think uh like a lot of
1:22:50
times I catch myself with that hasty generalization
1:22:55
when it comes to stereotypes oh yeah but at the end of the day there's truth in
1:23:01
stereotypes there's truth in them
1:23:06
doesn't mean they're all true there's a little truth in everything it doesn't mean that they apply to everyone either
1:23:12
but they are what they are they're there and they're there for a reason
1:23:18
i don't know this is one that I'm like I'm not touching don't be scared dog
1:23:23
don't be scared now that you ride shotgun bro you ain't You ain't going You ain't going to jump out while the car is moving dog
1:23:33
yeah um so red herring
1:23:39
distracting from the real issue this happens all the time yeah let me take
1:23:45
you off over here instead of allowing you to I I get accused of this i had an ex fiance that that was her deal i get
1:23:52
accused of this because I'm not like you know like I'm like I'm not always
1:23:58
I might have to paint a picture to get to see to see the whole thing you know
1:24:03
what I mean like I might not have the fastest route to get to somewhere so it might seem like I'm
1:24:11
like just wait a second like I'm going to get there like yeah that's totally different though
1:24:18
than why worry about pollution when there are people starving
1:24:27
there's people starving bro you You can litter there's people starving so this
1:24:32
is this is probably the one of the most common things in the red herring yeah it's one of the the biggest thing out
1:24:39
there it's distract you from focusing on whatever this is to put it over there
1:24:45
it's just so disrespectful though like on a note of like you're wanting to talk about something
1:24:53
and they're just like or it's just there's many different ways it can apply
1:24:59
it's that's nasty yeah so in uh an example is you're you have
1:25:07
an agreement with your lady that you're going to go on this vacation to this
1:25:12
destination and when and she really doesn't want to go right
1:25:19
so every time you're like trying to like further the conversation she goes "Oh I
1:25:26
I got to go and do laundry." Dips out it's like dude we're trying to talk
1:25:32
about I'm trying to talk about this trip like we got to get it and by the end it's like oh the trip never happens
1:25:39
because she pulled the red herring move on you got you brother got you you know that's wild
1:25:46
yeah um
1:25:51
so some of these things here uh that are happening in the world you know uh a lot
1:25:58
of terms that we're hearing that you know not everyone is
1:26:06
knowledgeable of and these are like really current terms that
1:26:12
are being used like I don't remember hearing any of these um Well bias and culture yes but like some of these I
1:26:20
don't remember hearing when Yeah so manufactured consent is a term
1:26:26
coined by Nome Chsky uh media is used to shape public opinion in favor of elite
1:26:33
interests is what he says an example would be media consensus pushing war
1:26:39
narratives without challenge or uh some deep fakes ai generated fake
1:26:47
videos that look real so um uh like a president giving a fake speech right but
1:26:54
it looks real but it's not really real or like that thing where they they do those like they put like regular
1:27:00
people's heads on other people's bodies and make for sure that stuff oh yeah all
1:27:05
those things that's deep fake uh-huh echo chambers online communities where dissenting views are silenced so if
1:27:12
you're if you're talking about something that opposes what your overall thing is
1:27:20
you silence it your overall message and your agenda isn't that happening on like
1:27:29
Twitter is that happening on X right now didn't like it is so is that an example like
1:27:36
it's happening all over the place in groups and uh and in different social
1:27:41
media platforms everywhere it's it's a part of everything i mean you go into
1:27:46
you know your neighborhood group and people are are doing it in some way because they don't want to talk about
1:27:52
certain things you know um and
1:27:57
yeah it's it's overwhelming in my head this all this stuff going on cuz even
1:28:03
though we've done some research we've tried to start learning more about it
1:28:10
it's it's hard to fully understand it all yeah 100% you know and how it um all
1:28:16
these different applications of it too yeah how it works in your life you know what I mean
1:28:22
and then there's all these different biases in culture like um confirmation
1:28:28
bias believing what confirms your own beliefs
1:28:34
so you only read sources that agree with things you agree with yeah I Yeah that's
1:28:40
not me i see that happening all the time like a certain news station will only have a
1:28:47
certain type of view you know it's hard to be objective for some people when it comes to certain stuff especially like
1:28:53
uh religion for example oh yeah yeah like my my spirituality is crazy it's
1:28:59
huge it's all over the place um but I find contradictions in in any you
1:29:05
know I can find contradictions in in any in any of that stuff you know
1:29:11
uh if you like you know as a kid you know there's certain things that we learn
1:29:19
that we begin to question when we get older as adults that we think we see things clear we think something is you
1:29:25
know might not might or might not be the truth and we begin to question things and that sends us down these paths and down these journeys that you know
1:29:32
ultimately turn us into who we are make us truth seekers right there you go yeah
1:29:37
that's for sure and I and what I have learned at least a little bit about
1:29:43
doing this segment is that there's a lot to it oh there's a lot to it and we're
1:29:49
going to this is not it yeah i We're going back we're going to be back at at
1:29:54
these at this because this is an everexpanding thing and it's also
1:29:59
something that is evolving based on all the things that are going on based on time and like there's a lot there's a
1:30:06
lot that influences this stuff yeah and for me going into this and uh doing the
1:30:12
research then coming up here and speaking on this like again who we're not experts in this i I do know an
1:30:19
expert shout out to Daniel Freriedman of the Active Inference Institute and uh
1:30:26
Cognitive Security Davis Cognitive Security uh he's the guy that could
1:30:32
answer any questions related to all this stuff decision making and and all the
1:30:39
different frameworks of why things are made and and you know so I I have had
1:30:45
the pleasure of getting to know him and and having some of this
1:30:51
stuff uh being put in front of my face so I could start understanding it um but
1:31:00
it's it's a lot and it affects everything the way you you know what
1:31:05
comes in through your your eyes your ears you know all the different people
1:31:10
around you all the different um you know marketing stuff on TV on everywhere you
1:31:17
go the difficulty is to again remove yourself and your personal
1:31:23
stuff that comes with you from it to be able to figure it out right like don't be influenced by it based on something
1:31:29
that you want based on something you want
1:31:36
so you have a confirmation bias where you're like this is the thing that I want so anything that gets me towards
1:31:43
that is what I will allow to be influenced that's what I don't want
1:31:48
yes i that that is I think common i'm sure it was one of them it was one of
1:31:55
them see uh when um when our studio is built
1:32:02
if you can get Daniel Freriedman on this I guess I'd love to have him on he sounds like a very interesting
1:32:07
individual oh man he's the smartest he's the smartest um he interviews on Active
1:32:14
Inference YouTube the smartest and brightest people in in
1:32:20
all um industries and these are the thinkers and the ones that do scientific
1:32:26
papers and um you know very doctorate level everything and it's based on like
1:32:34
you mean like scholars of the highest eminence yes that's you know what
1:32:40
scholars of the highest eminence right on yeah yeah um and so I try to put
1:32:48
myself around these people as much as I can uh because I know I'll get smarter even though like you know got a long
1:32:55
ways to go the quest for more education and continual growth thirst for
1:33:00
knowledge yes thirst for knowledge that's something that I'm after and um you know so this is part of it right on
1:33:07
man you know now that we've you know man that was deep stuff Nate yeah but again
1:33:15
we're going to revisit this man because there's a lot more to talk about within that
1:33:20
um man listen though we're gonna double back on the boy
1:33:28
Yeezy man this boy Kanye stay in the stay in the stay into it man stays into
1:33:34
it um police called to Kanye West's offices
1:33:39
office in LA a swastika was recently painted painted on the side of Kanye
1:33:45
West's HQ in Hollywood and it comes in
1:33:50
the aftermath of him posted anti-semitic comments on X via Daily Mail
1:34:00
and this is in Los Angeles California and uh this article I want to thank this
1:34:06
person um Bishall Roy wrote this article and uh uh
1:34:13
also shout out Brit Pop News um that's the source of this information um a few
1:34:20
a few hours after the symbol was spotted a man tried to remove the swastika and the police were called to the scene
1:34:27
hours later it was seen covered up with gray paint however the faded outline of the shape was still visible the building
1:34:34
was purchased by Kanye West in March 2003 and has largely been left empty
1:34:39
while construction work takes place recently Kanye West has also faced a
1:34:45
backlash for his anti-Semitic slurs he made on the social media website X
1:34:51
posting on this on the site Kanye said "I love Hitler and I'm a Nazi."
1:34:57
resulting in him being dropped from his talent agency earlier this year yeah so
1:35:03
so essentially his office that was in LA someone just went and and put a swast I
1:35:11
know about that i saw I saw the picture of it it looked kind of like nice like like like it was like he probably like
1:35:17
they're actually hooking him up i'm trying to say like he might he might have paid somebody to start a mural or
1:35:22
something for all we know we don't know K what the hell Kanye got going on so to me it's the opposite this swastika was
1:35:30
put on there which is literally Yeezy's that's on his t-shirt and it's facing
1:35:35
the right direction oh is his t-shirt is facing that direction
1:35:41
is that the way the Nazi sign is no the Nazi son's the other direction yes
1:35:47
okay so that's something that's something yeah he misrepresenting himself even yay if you going to do this
1:35:52
Yay turn the swastika the other way on your shirts if you really if that's what No but that's the trip of that i'm just
1:36:00
saying like this is for me to yay like if that's what you representing yay flip the swastika the other way cuz you look
1:36:06
like you don't know what you don't like like you don't know what you're doing to educated people i'm sorry go ahead brother yeah so but
1:36:14
why you're saying that is because the swastika this way is like the the
1:36:22
ancestral you know over thousands of years it means good fortune it means luck it
1:36:30
means uh prosperity it means togetherness uniformity it means all
1:36:36
these amazing positive things is the way that he's done it
1:36:41
and the Nazis did it the other way but from what it reads is that he's saying
1:36:47
he's a Nazi kanye actually himself says he's a Nazi that's what he's saying he's saying he's
1:36:54
a Nazi yeah wow and and I guess not understanding that he wouldn't be
1:37:00
accepted by any real Nazi any real neo-Nazi any of that stuff like Yeah the
1:37:05
Nazi party wasn't uh wasn't wasn't pro black brother like you you whing yeah
1:37:12
but still it's the other way so maybe he's not trying to actually do it all that level
1:37:19
man i mean I I don't know i don't know what I don't think he knows what he got going on brother like I know I think he
1:37:25
knows exactly what he's doing he's creating controversy which is what he's very good at and that sells apparently
1:37:32
t-shirt shoes people are buying people like look I don't think people are buying these Nazi shirts bro
1:37:40
well he's making money somehow yeah the crazy thing is he's still at such a high
1:37:47
level of talent when it comes to production that like I'm sure there's a ton of people that are like I'm still
1:37:53
using Yay for that like I don't care what he got going on he still is he still is a one of the best of the best
1:37:59
that has ever produced he's still relevant in that arena in that arena though I
1:38:04
don't know he's all over the news bro yeah but what I'm saying is and like let's not forget who where this guy came
1:38:10
from and what he is like where he gets his money from like his main his music is his jam bro i get it you know what I
1:38:16
mean i get it yeah like not just hip-hop kanye works all
1:38:23
over the place when it comes to music bro yeah so
1:38:29
the other checking back in on on Oh that
1:38:34
guy your boy yeah my boy brother Elon
1:38:40
yeah so this is Fortune uh shout out to Fortune uh and Eleanor Pringle
1:38:49
one guy making anti- Musk stickers for Tesla cars so stickers to put on Tesla
1:38:56
cars is what he um is what his target ideal customer I probably seen it and
1:39:03
didn't know how did it do they look like the California Clean Air stickers
1:39:08
i I'm not sure man that's one thing that didn't have it it's not like they allowed This wasn't an article that he
1:39:16
created to sell more stickers but I'm sure this article is going to help him sell more stickers yeah everybody going
1:39:22
to be looking for it for sure yeah so um he it says he's he's making a h 100,000
1:39:29
a month by selling these stickers uh for Tesla cars right
1:39:37
yeah it says "As Tesla CEO Elon Musk comes more politically entangled some Tesla owners are distancing themselves
1:39:44
from him by purchasing anti- Musk bumper stickers." So they still own the Tesla
1:39:49
they still own the car they be mobbing the car y'all ain't standing on nothing like that y'all stop that man that's
1:39:55
I've been saying people be so halfway halfway in halfway out i stand y'all oh no you don't stand on nothing nobody
1:40:02
sees that little ass sticker on there well yeah they do i mean I see so many Teslas there ain't there a stickers on
1:40:09
aside from the California stickers like you're saying like all the Teslas look exactly the same like every once in a
1:40:17
while you'll see one that has a slight modification yeah people don't people don't even understand this though like cuz like all over the country you know
1:40:23
we like we got more Teslas here than anywhere in the country right and it's like
1:40:29
we have so many dude like a unique Tesla is like a wrapped Tesla like there's not
1:40:34
much to it like they got a couple people out there that make that are making kits for them they look pretty tough but like
1:40:40
not nearly enough people have them there's just these plain Jane Teslas running around everywhere except for my
1:40:45
dog you know who got a dope one my dog sensei Carlos Roachcher he got a dope one though his His is His is put
1:40:51

1:41:14
hating on you Sensei you see him already questioning what I'm talking about about your Tesla you going to see him soon though don't worry about it it's just
1:41:21
Don't wrap me up in a pretzel please i will break i I tap i tap i tap now i tap
1:41:28
i pre-tap yeah man so we've been talking about digging into
1:41:35
some of these uh figures that you've been around in your uh bodyguarding and
1:41:42
in you know 10 years of your life you were in the entertainment industry bodyguarding all these different people
1:41:48
and and you know uh clubs Miami New York
1:41:54
all over the place private jet life the whole thing and and have all kinds of
1:42:00
different stories that at some point are going to come out as we start talking so we're going to start like bringing in some of these other characters as well
1:42:07
and and this one um is related to it's it says it's a inside a leaked jail call
1:42:17
diddy and Kanye under fire right hey is it just me can anybody answer this for
1:42:24
me that's watching this is it just me if you know anything say in the comments if you notice the same thing but
1:42:31
has anybody noticed since Diddy got busted that a whole lot of people in hip-hop been getting busted oh I've seen
1:42:37
that like a whole lot of people that are like putting stuff in music saying stuff in interviews and stuff like that it's
1:42:42
like it seems like the feds are like faster to jump on this stuff right now and just snatch people up off the
1:42:48
streets like I'm I'm noticing like maybe I'm wrong i don't know but if
1:42:54
somebody else could shed some light on that because man these guys are man all these guys down in LA Chicago everywhere
1:43:03
everybody's all this stuff's just hap all of a sudden now
1:43:09
i don't know and the crazy thing again did he got the craziest situation I ever seen
1:43:17
i never seen anybody get Rico and have to fight a Rico case by themsel
1:43:23
yeah i thought that literally means a bunch of people interacting with each
1:43:30
other based on common like Yeah man um
1:43:37
so I don't know what they got going on with Diddy man but Diddy Diddy's caught up i don't think I They saying Diddy um
1:43:45
they saying he's that he's already like telling people that he's going to make a comeback that he ain't worried about it
1:43:51
and all this look Diddy might not never come back talking about making a comeback we might not ever see this boy
1:43:58
again like look I thought he's he's in in prison right listen did he better
1:44:04
take the deal you're talking a lot let's watch the video bro this is And stars right here
1:44:17
in a revelation that has rocked the entertainment world a leaked prison phone call between Sha Diddy Combmes and
1:44:22
Kanye West has ignited new controversies ahead of Diddy's impending trial recorded without Diddy's knowledge while
1:44:29
he is detained the conversation captures him urging West to reconnect with his musical career underscoring his
1:44:36
isolation from Hollywood peers as Diddy's legal wos intensify amid serious allegations including human trafficking
1:44:43
and racketeering prominent figures in the industry are distancing themselves amid mounting criticism legal experts
1:44:50
while skeptical of the call's evidentiary value suggest it vividly illustrates Diddy's precarious standing
1:44:56
and foreshadows the tumult that may unfold during his trial
1:45:02
so it sounds like if that's the truth it sounds like Diddy tried to give Ya some good advice like bro stop alienating
1:45:08
yourself from the world and like being crazy bro go tap in bro like what are you doing start making music again like
1:45:14
get it together yeah and and so it it seemed like there was a little you know clickbait stuff on
1:45:23
that basically like because you got
1:45:28
Kanye who's all over the news right now diddy who's all over the news connected
1:45:34
them together it's like who's not going to click on this thing i I I just want to say this man about about Diddy
1:45:41
there's there's a everybody hears about all of these people that are coming
1:45:46
forward and trying to sue Diddy and you know all these other things about that are
1:45:52
happening uh that that have happened with people that were celebrities that were under him and people that were in
1:45:58
the industry that are under him what nobody is taking under consideration is this south Beach is very small south
1:46:07
Beach is not Miami everybody thinks South Beach is Miami south Beach is Miami Beach right it's very small it's
1:46:13
about South Beach itself is like 20 blocks 20 blocks long bro literally and
1:46:19
um there's people in Miami miami is a poor
1:46:24
city miami don't Miami doesn't have money like that you see the satire of
1:46:30
South Beach you see all the people coming from everywhere spending money on South Beach but like Yeah like in the city of Miami there's all these other
1:46:37
small cities that you know people don't have money like that
1:46:43
there are people that are locals from Miami
1:46:48
that have been taken advantage of by this guy for certain you're not hearing about these people
1:46:54
these are people that are regular people that like look up to that that idolize celebrities right that didn't grow up
1:47:03
with homeboys that like like Diddy that didn't grow up around people with money right
1:47:09
and that when they end up meeting a character like this and he knows the lore that he has with these people you
1:47:16
know these people get taken advantage of and like that there's a lot of that that's going to be coming out as well
1:47:22
like more normal people that are outside of the industry that were just just around just happened to meet bro through
1:47:28
whoever and whoever like this guy was in Miami for a very long time when I first met this dude was I think
1:47:35
200 three or four when he first moved back
1:47:40
to Miami at the time um I was bodyguarding JLo
1:47:48
this guy used to take a boat from his house on Star Island to the back of JLo's house he was madly in love with
1:47:56
this girl wasn't he wasn't she with Ben Affleck at that time that is exactly what was going on at that time and while
1:48:03
she was engaged to Ben Affleck Mark Anthony also used to come over the house while Ben Affleck wasn't home
1:48:09
they're friends yeah that's baby daddy now that's baby
1:48:15
daddy now and imagine imagine that like um Ben Affleck man probably don't even
1:48:22
remember me i didn't spend much time around him but the time I did spend around him he was really cool and like normal dude like I remember he drank
1:48:29
like Dr brown's cream soda or something like that like you know what I mean
1:48:34
normal dude cool dude and um yeah we're going to get into that other
1:48:40
situation that that one right there we're going to get into that that that one later but yeah Diddy man um it seems
1:48:47
like so this specific article where they're putting Diddy on the phone with
1:48:53
Kanye I it does sound like he was trying to be positive telling him to go after his stuff but also there's it's kind of
1:49:01
like you know Diddy was very influential as well he was the top he was one of the
1:49:07
top top two right it was like it was a race to see who was become a a billionaire first between him and Jay-Z
1:49:14
jay-z want Yeah that's that's that's it yeah so so essentially giving Kanye you
1:49:22
know go for it is is Kanye going out there and he's using all this to get
1:49:29
definitely in the news and this guy's on the top of every you know TMZ blah blah
1:49:35
blah all the different uh publications yeah but what he's doing is like at this
1:49:41
point like they say there's no such thing as bad publicity but like the consecutive things that he's done is
1:49:46
devaluing his brand significantly it's absolutely insane like that's why I'm sure this guy's telling him "Hey go back
1:49:52
to music." It's like "Yo people love your music bro." Like that's probably why like just stick with that bro stick
1:49:58
with that stop doing all these That'll probably be some good therapy for you in doing that cuz you love it you know what
1:50:03
I mean you over here trying to chase this bag with clothes and all this like you know this guy's history Kanye's
1:50:09
history with with uh he was an employee of the Gap back in
1:50:15
the day I didn't know that yeah he talks about it in the song he talks about how the Gap kept him in the back of the
1:50:21
store until black people came in and then they wanted to use their token blackie and then he said we love Kanye
1:50:27
so he talks about that he talks about how he used to steal from the gap as well because they didn't pay him enough
1:50:33
Yeah and it life came full circle for him he started selling his clothes in the gap you see what I'm saying and then
1:50:40
what did he do he worked himself out of that situation life comes full circle don't it yeah all right shout out to
1:50:48
Santana um little nephew he's He's a model for the Gap i see him all the stuff marie's
1:50:55
son no Stephie stephy's son all right right on shout out Stephie and Marie man
1:51:00
that's what's up yeah Santana's he he's the best man he's great energy big smile
1:51:07
he's got the best hair in the world oh right on he's got the best hair in the world and got that good biracial stuff
1:51:13
going on yep for sure man for sure you know this this other article here uh
1:51:20
from the music times did he and this was Roblin Barbara
1:51:26
did he reportedly gears up for major comeback to reclaim his throne despite
1:51:31
all the charges so he's essentially thinking he's going to get out of all this he's out of his mind that's what
1:51:38
I'm trying to say like uh such a This guy's going to do some time
1:51:44
bro this guy's going to do this guy the Fed's got a 95% conviction rate yeah he
1:51:50
can afford the best lawyers in the world but guess what good luck Diddy you have a lot of Look the thing is he's done
1:51:56
he's taken advantage of a lot of people over a long period of time bro as much
1:52:02
as you think you know what you're up against you have no clue no clue and they want him to work they want them to
1:52:08
talk you know what I mean there's a lot of stuff that they want to know about a lot of other people that did a lot of other stuff that they want to know about
1:52:15
they want to they want to have stuff on people you see what I'm saying they ain't looking to take everybody in they
1:52:20
looking to have stuff on people so they can see what else they can get into that's how they work yeah well it says
1:52:28
that Diddy recently achieved a legal victory when a judge dismissed five
1:52:34
claims from a $30 million sexual assault and harassment lawsuit brought by music
1:52:39
producer Rodney Lil Rod lil Rod yep li Rod Jones
1:52:44
the Rod has crazy interview he came out and said some crazy stuff that he's seen man and crazy stuff that did tried to
1:52:51
tried to uh say diddy might have did something to him or something man and um
1:52:58
again man it's just too much and and again like I don't I don't necessarily believe this article you have to be a
1:53:04
damn fool to think that because you beat a civil case
1:53:13
that you would have any kind of confidence from that going into your criminal case against the feds there's no way in the world
1:53:21
yeah that's that's kind of understandable you know what I mean yeah it's two different things all together
1:53:26
the f again 95% conviction rate what's the conviction rate in Japan again is 99
1:53:32
right i I don't know i think in Japan they have a uh I think Japan has a 99%
1:53:38
99% conviction rate brother whoa yeah look that up when you get a chance that's That's some crazy stuff mhm
1:53:47
so moving on here the the uh sea lions sea
1:53:53
lions so the we got two different sea lion little things right and and of
1:54:02
these sea lion stuff there's there's one where it's a
1:54:07
crazy sea lion and there's one where it's well the most
1:54:13
amazing sea lion in the world sea lines a hero yeah sea line a hero sea line so
1:54:19
back to the whole like how this is you know you know uh the critical thinking
1:54:26
right we have sea lion saves a life okay
1:54:32
apparently there's this guy and he
1:54:37
jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge he was in a bad place mentally and he
1:54:44
was going to unal alive himself
1:54:50
but a day of reflection and renewal happened after jumping off and being
1:54:58
saved by a sea line that's absolutely insane and and like I
1:55:06
have personally seen a couple people jump off the Golden Gate Bridge i used to fish beneath the Golden Gate Bridge
1:55:12
at Fort Point with my dad all the time when I grew up fishing was a big part of my life there's not many weekends that
1:55:17
we weren't fishing if we had opportunity to fish we were fishing yeah the Golden Gate Bridge and this was before they put
1:55:23
the thing under they have that safety net now they got a safety net yeah and that safety net if you land on that safety net you going to be hurt too cuz
1:55:29
it's made of like steel cables it's wicked oh yeah to make you not want to jump on it again but before this thing
1:55:36
yo bro the sound that you will hear when somebody hits the water it's so loud yeah but it echoes under the Golden Gate
1:55:44
Bridge bro it echoes through there bro it's it's it's it's it's like deafening bro it's loud loud bro like you feel a
1:55:50
vibration bro so you've been there as this happened yes multiple times bro
1:55:55
multiple times look so right now Four Point right when you go to Four Point right now there's a fence when you get
1:56:02
towards the side of the building that fence used to not be there you used to be able to go to the back of Fort Point
1:56:07
we used to fish on the back of it and that's where they used to like to jump off right there
1:56:14
wow yeah they used to like to jump off right there well this guy
1:56:19
next time you see my dad ask him i Okay I will more times trust me a lot of
1:56:25
people jump off the Golden Gate Bridge but they don't like to put it on the news because they don't want more people to do it understood but it's the number
1:56:31
one place in the world for people to jump off well there you go see a lot of people jump like I said yeah it says "On
1:56:37
a day that seemed like any other Kevin Hines found himself grappling with overwhelming personal challenges at the
1:56:44
Golden Gate Bridge as he descended it it just fasttracks as he descended into the
1:56:50
icy embrace of the waters below an immediate ping of regret consumed him but destiny had a different plan a sea
1:56:58
lion sensing his distress approached with purpose that's crazy the marine
1:57:04
mammal circled Kevin gently nudging him ensuring he remained afloat until timely
1:57:11
arrival of the rescuers and you know the water the water there is over a couple hundred feet deep when you when you get
1:57:18
off the shore like like between those uh columns of the bridge it's insane
1:57:26
and um what's the other one what's the other one yeah so the other one So this is a critical thinking test right after
1:57:31
this we're going to figure out if sea lions are good or evil or you know what
1:57:38
what what's going on okay what what is this what is Okay so this next one is a little video here poisoned by algae
1:57:46
causing them to act in a way some describe as demonic so So wait he just said that the sea lions are being
1:57:54
poisoned by toxic algae and because of that toxic algae that the
1:58:01
sea lions are being poisoned they're becoming demonic it's having a mental they're having mental a mental issue
1:58:07
they're turning into something else and turning into like zombie-l like things damn
1:58:24
it's foaming out the mouth it's like rabies
1:58:42
when it gets hot yeah the water gets warm
1:58:54
centered in 146
1:58:59
damn that's a lot
1:59:08
wow experts say do your part to create a better environment for marine life we
1:59:13
know that we've changed our All right so after seeing both of these
1:59:20
you know articles one that shows like uh that this is the
1:59:26
algae bloom for however it's happening is creating these sea lions to become
1:59:32
sick for sure it seems like they're sick man listen and I recommend
1:59:37
that uh till this thing blows over that if y'all want to do some activities in the water y'all stick to the lakes cuz
1:59:43
this this sounds like this is just starting this is this sounds a little crazy this sounds crazy and I we don't
1:59:49
know what else is going to be impacted by this and we hope it's going to be nothing yeah but if you do go there you
1:59:55
know there's at least one really awesome sea lion out there that'll that'll get
2:00:00
your back let me ask you something where'd you get that fresh ass t-shirt from player
2:00:07
oh this is this is the poker gods i just uh recently went on a podcast it was
2:00:15
actually the first one that ever got created it It was
2:00:21
I believe it ended up being like the test run shout out poker gods yeah uh
2:00:27
Casey our who's a fellow poker player someone I've known for a few years he's
2:00:33
uh going down the road of creating a a whole new studiobased option for poker
2:00:40
players to build their poker brands okay and so each poker player you know to get
2:00:46
in these tournaments costs a lot of money to get in and uh people may not know but there's a whole market for uh
2:00:53
selling out pieces of your action right and Poker Gods is special because it
2:01:01
allows the poker player to be in a filmed final table where they're with
2:01:08
other poker players to be able to capture the hands and they
2:01:15
produce video and content for their social media platform so a key thing
2:01:21
about poker players is that they don't they play poker all the time they're
2:01:27
very passionate about playing and most of them are known by their
2:01:32
friends as like the people that play poker but not many have made it to like a
2:01:38
final table of the World Series of Poker or the World Poker Tour one of the other
2:01:43
big events right where it's televised so that others can see them play
2:01:50
this is an option for poker players to go and get a bunch of footage because it's all set up with the hands and
2:01:57
everything just like as if you were on the world poker tour and then you play
2:02:02
in a game you uh end up leaving with you know what whatever you know success you
2:02:09
had in the game and have the experience as well as all the content to be able to show on it and he has the the
2:02:17
he has a heads up podcast that I was able to be the first one to go on and play him heads up and test out all the
2:02:24
cameras and and see how the whole system worked and I think he's on to something
2:02:31
that's dope when um when he gets that running good we're going to make sure everybody knows about Poker Gods man
2:02:38
over there i think it'd be a lot of fun to go on Poker Gods and have you know most people know how to play Texas Holde
2:02:45
and have a bunch of our friends bunch of our people show up there play in a game
2:02:51
have it be the gambler in the Guardian you know episode where we get to play
2:02:56
poker and you know you'll see in the end it'll be like who bluffed who who made
2:03:01
the moves all the different stuff that happens and it's all recorded so you end up having uh a YouTube episode that
2:03:09
sounds like a dope experience right on um I want to thank you man for coming
