The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G
Newly acquainted bros with nothing better to do after work so we decide to try this podcast stuff. We'll be having daily discussions about various topics from current events to whatever is on our minds. Let's get real and hopefully have a few laughs along the way.
The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G
From Rough Morning To Building A Show: Tips, Travel, And Taming The Booze
A hangover can be a harsh teacher, but it can also be the nudge to get serious. We open with a messy morning and the hard truth about mixing liquor and beer, then chart a clear path from chaos to craft: how we built a workable podcast setup, why Buzzsprout’s mastering helped us fight noisy rooms, and what we’re changing to make each episode cleaner and more intentional.
We talk real gear and real constraints—two mics, one interface, and a quiet corner made quieter with blankets and soft surfaces. When the street gets loud, smart post‑processing saves the take. We break down release strategy too: pacing episodes to fit hosting limits, testing a $1 paywall for a two‑parter, and timing guest appearances so they add value instead of derailing our rhythm. Naming and artwork get a refresh plan, with a focus on bold thumbnails, legible type, and titles that actually say what the listener will get.
Travel stories turn into lessons on respect and risk. All‑inclusive resorts are fun but blinding; tip fairly, stay alert, and remember you’re a guest. Music influences—from Sublime to 90s alt—feed the show’s structure: open strong, explore with purpose, close with a takeaway. We also wade into privacy and surveillance, comparing VPNs and data‑removal tools while outlining simple habits that make recording smoother: preflight checklists, updates done early, and devices set aside to cut interference.
Underneath it all is a decision to drink less and plan more, not out of fear but out of care for the work. The goal is simple: give you a sturdy signal in a noisy world. If you’re starting your own show, you’ll leave with practical steps for setup, publishing, sound, and growth—and maybe a few reminders about chasers, hydration, and learning the easy way.
If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s building something, and drop a comment with your must‑have podcast tool or your best soundproof hack. Your ideas shape what we make next.
I am doing uh I think everybody knew when I walked out Saturday. And welcome to the show. I didn't even know. Like the morning, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:Round two.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. You you know that feeling when you're like, I'm gonna be drinking again. I'm done. But right now, I'm not gonna lie, a cold beer would sound good.
SPEAKER_01:Really?
SPEAKER_02:A cold, but I'm talking about cold.
SPEAKER_01:All right, well, you want to just you I mean, like I said, actually, yeah, no. I should probably wait till it gets to the city. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_02:Because I got I might have to go, you know, yeah, and there too.
SPEAKER_01:Um I mean, just one.
SPEAKER_02:Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, we'll see. But yeah, no, dude, that was just that was just the morning, bro. And it's only it's Farday Day afternoon.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:And on a beautiful Saturday afternoon here with your two hosts, your two.
SPEAKER_01:Man, I'm surprised you you slipped it off in like what, like an hour into an hour and a half?
SPEAKER_02:Nah, it was like three hours. I got home like at nine.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:No, I got home like at 10 and I slept.
SPEAKER_01:So therefore, like, yeah, dude. You barely I barely missed you then when it when I hit you for that text. Yeah, yeah. I was like I said, I was gonna try and uh I was gonna actually try and hit you up like around 9.20, but I was uh like my phone, all that crap. So it took me a second, like I noticed it wasn't connected to my laptop for some reason. Oh, I remember why now. I installed an update before I went home. Or before I went to work. Or last night, I think, or some shit.
SPEAKER_02:Those updates are getting crazy. And I was just like, you know, gotta get the show going.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yep, yep.
SPEAKER_02:I felt like I was dying, dude. Yep. One time though, I did go to if you ever go to uh an all-inclusive resort, bro, it's dangerous.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I've never been. It's dangerous because uh I've never understood what an on the all-inclusive resort is.
SPEAKER_02:Just like all you could eat, all you could drink, pretty much. Yeah, and they have shows and then how much is something like that?
SPEAKER_01:Uh well I got lucky. Was this Vegas or what?
SPEAKER_02:Nah, I got lucky because um the chick I was with, she had uh unlimited, like not unlimited, she she uses a credit card and they gave her like flight points. And uh and she's like, Oh, you know, let's go check out Dominican Republic. I said, Cool.
SPEAKER_01:Well, that's pretty cool.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, and I think I think for for me, I think I just gave up like I think it was like$800 each, or like, but I paid more, I paid more of I I g I think I gave her like a thousand because she paid for for the flight there and back. So I said, I'll pay for the room for both of us, kind of. So I think it was like, but I forgot, dude. It was like like almost like a thousand couple thousand, like a thousand and four or five hundred. I got you. For a for like for a week, it was like for a week, and you go and you just it's a nice place. Yeah, nice place right by the beach. They bring you. I mean, they if you want room service, they might charge you. But for the most part, you wake up, you could eat breakfast all you want, they have dinner, they have shows, they have little like adventures if you want to go try out, like you know, yeah, yeah. So even uh they have a couple of them in Mexico, but I feel like Mexico, bro, or like places like that, like they're cool. All inclusive resorts are cool. Yeah, it's just you don't see the real part of where you're at. Like, no, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, I've never really been to resort. Like when I've been to Mexico, it's always been with family, right?
SPEAKER_02:It's always like out there. Yep, and most of these places, you're in like, yeah, it's Mexico, it's Dominican Republic, it's it's these places, these nice uh tropical places, but you know, I I feel like there's more to it. But you obviously you don't want to step out on your own because it could get dangerous, right? Right, right, right. You don't want to go explore, even though you do want to go and and see the actual culture and try their food and everything, that's good, and you know, be respectful. Because the thing is, I notice, and and then and it's not just certain groups or nothing, everybody kind of does it. Like, I'm kind of I'm kind of at fault too sometimes. Like when I go and people sometimes they forget, you know, like, dude, you're in some like kind of you're kind of visiting somewhere else. So try to be polite, try to be respectful.
SPEAKER_01:Exactly.
SPEAKER_02:Because that's dude, I'm not gonna lie, bro. A lot of people they don't like they're like, oh, you're an American or you're this, or you know, they they think of us as rude or like you know, no, for sure, this and that. And and that's not the case from for for everybody, dude. That's really not, you know. Most of most people, I I mean, obviously there's assholes, dude. There's assholes everywhere, you know what I mean? Like, I've been on trips, and and there's there's this guy getting drunk belligerent though. You know, there's a difference. Like, if you're drunk having a good time, that's cool, but nobody wants to be you know having a good time, and then there's some belligerent dude over there who can't handle his liquor. So, to the point I was getting about this whole story that went off track, dude. I went with this chick, and I every time they were giving me a shot, I was giving them a dollar, dude. And they just kept giving shot, shot, shot, shot. Yep, yep. And dude, at the end of the night, I was I was hanging over the balcony, dying. Yeah, dying, dude. She's like, what about the neighbors? I said, fuck the neighbors. It's dangerous, dude. Dangerous. Because it's the dude, a dollar shot, pretty much. And it's decent, it's like you the bottle with tequila we get over there, or like Jose Quavo. Yeah, dollar shots, yeah. Yeah, ten dollars, ten shots, you know what I mean? Bro, and they're slamming you, pa, pa, pa. And you it's all you could eat. So I'm just dude, this and then they had a show that night, dude. Oh man, bro. It was it was the rap, dude. I got home, I mean, I got to the hotel room, dude. I just I wow, I was dead. That's dead. I told X, that's dead, dude. So you gotta be careful, bro. Gotta be careful.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Drinking is no joke, dude.
SPEAKER_01:You never hear you.
SPEAKER_02:It's I and it's not even the beer, dude. The beer will make you like drunk, but more like a sleepy, like kind of like hungry drunk. Liquor, dude. Nah, dude. Liquor is where you make your choices that were really liquor is something else, dude. I feel like liquor is the devil. Cause, dude, even when you're trying to have a good time, bro. Like, I mean, most of the time it's a good time, but it's not so much the liquor as much as it is.
SPEAKER_01:If you mixed it with beer even then, did you mix it with beer?
SPEAKER_02:No, no, no. When I was there, no, it was just dude, I was taking shots.
SPEAKER_01:That was it, you too. I must have taken like you didn't have beer.
SPEAKER_02:I remember that day, no, when I was over there at uh with her and I and I had dude, that was bad though. But I remember I was just taking shots, dude. Yeah, they kept giving them to me because I was tipping dollars and they come on, man. You you know, I don't know how much they were paying these people, but I'm pretty sure you just if somebody you know you're a bartender, you're working for tips. Yeah, so he's like, if I could kid, you know, yeah, I was like, boom, a dollar, boom, a dollar, boom, a dollar. I got you, I gotcha. I I I mean, I I mean I like to be generous because you never know, bro. Like, yeah, I don't want I don't want to be rude to these people that are out here because they know these these parts. They they they probably got family. You be rude to them and like, oh you know what, dude? Let me call out my boys. I'm gonna kidnap this moment. He thinks he's he he thinks Yep.
SPEAKER_01:He's gonna, he's gonna my boy.
SPEAKER_02:Sorry, I mean it's uh you know that's the thing, bro. You never know. You gotta be careful when you're out there, dude, because you never know who's watching.
SPEAKER_01:You never sure daddy just drove by. Dangerous, dude. It's dangerous.
SPEAKER_02:Who's your daddy? No, but uh, yeah, dude. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Uh I like to travel, you know. Yeah, I'm not sure.
SPEAKER_01:Um, I mean, I haven't really traveled until I came here. The last time before that, I traveled to Arizona, but I drove there out of the states to Colorado, or to Colorado, to uh Mexico. But the last time I was there I think I was like nine years old, something like that. Okay. Something like that.
SPEAKER_02:That's not bad. No, yeah, definitely. Uh definitely uh I don't I don't I don't like to I like to travel, but just not like uh hopefully we could get our our our first guest on. He travels.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, you gonna plug that in? You wanna plug that in?
SPEAKER_02:He travels, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Man, be ready for the drive guy.
SPEAKER_02:You know, I know you told him. You told him he could be our first guest. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like the He's down for it too. I feel like the pod could use the guest uh soon. You know? Yeah, definitely. He got some he got some stories. Cause see, he travels to like not des not vacation destinations. This guy's trying to go to like, you know, I'm not trying to go to no yeah, so like I guess let's plug both of these then.
SPEAKER_01:So I definitely am gonna work on um those couple of episodes with my son. I feel like uh that last one he did with you was he kind of redeemed himself. Right a little bit, he wasn't too fucked up. Right, right, right. No, was it I don't even know if he was fucked up. That was like a month ago, no. Yeah, yeah, it was yeah. Yeah, that's crazy. So so I I think that one we're gonna put on the page. I think we're gonna do that uh probably make that our first uh paid content. Maybe ask a dollar or something, a dollar subscription.
SPEAKER_02:At least. Yeah, a dollar's not bad. I think a dollar's good. Just to start off.
SPEAKER_01:We don't want to be good people interested. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, interesting. And then uh maybe we'll work this guy in. See how how we'll see how this one works out. We wouldn't need a third uh mic and everything. Yeah. Yeah. Cause it kind of feels like uh no, yeah, we we'll figure that out for sure. Actually, we would need a little bit more than that now that think about it. And then pretty soon we're gonna be getting our neck our third kind of co-host in the mix. Yeah, yep. Little by little.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, no, no, no, you know what they say when it comes to creativity, uh, three three brains are better than one. I mean, because everybody brings something to the table, creative-wise, you know what I mean? Topic-wise, discussion, and uh that's why I say uh it's it's I see people they do do their own podcasts and shit and stuff like that, which is cool. They got some pretty good ones, and then there's people who got like three or four co uh hosts, you know. Right, right. But yeah, here we just like we say, we take it easy.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, that's a part of like uh like I said, our theme is about of creating this podcast here. Right. I know we didn't get started off the bat, but I guess we might as well just get down to the nitty-gritty of it. So, like that was.
SPEAKER_02:So, like if somebody wanted to, like, let's say someone listening right now wanted to know the steps by steps, what would you just say?
SPEAKER_01:Right, right, exactly. I mean, what what did we cover last time? Going to the stores. Yeah, and the butt bus sprout too, right?
SPEAKER_02:Oh yeah, buzz sprout, we did cover bus sprout a little bit. We covered bus sprout a little bit.
SPEAKER_01:We'll always we'll always be covering bus sprouts a little bit, but covering a little bit more because we but buzz sprout is a big a big part of why we have uh most of those most of those hits anyways. So yeah, and and they're great anyways. I mean, yeah so far this first month has set up popped off really good.
SPEAKER_02:Big help, big help, yep. Big bus sprouts definitely a big help.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, and also maybe set it up for buscast too. I think I actually think we are set up for bus cast already. So plugging plugging that in real quick.
SPEAKER_02:And we're almost hitting the hundred, the hundred mark, right now.
SPEAKER_01:Dude, we're I mean, like I said, the thing we said because we're past a month now. So each day that it go goes by, that counter goes down more. That's why I'm saying, like, let's let's try again. We have a whole bunch of episodes we can put up, but that would definitely use up our four our four hours already within like the next, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_02:Uh I think we should probably spread it a little bit.
SPEAKER_01:Because you we we I wanna I don't wanna Well, I feel like we have that that two-parter, which I think we might just make a one party? We may we might just make a uh a a Patreon. Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_02:Okay.
SPEAKER_01:Your achy breaky partner? Yeah, yeah. We're gonna if that's alright with you, unless you just want to throw it on.
SPEAKER_02:We could probably put it on Patreon and see what's up. Might as well start messing with that.
SPEAKER_01:Right, right. Yeah. Uh for now. And then I mean eventually if we decide to, we'll just unlock them at some point.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, yeah. No, you I'm more of uh I don't wanna put I don't wanna be like Fast and Furious. Right, right. You know, where they're putting out like 12 damn fast and furious and they're going to the moon and two per year? Yeah, and then and then we forget what what we were originally.
SPEAKER_01:The next one they come out with is gonna be a back future, dude. Next time they come out with the dinosaurs. Next one they come out with is gonna be time traveling.
SPEAKER_02:The next yeah, they're gonna go back to the dinosaur storm age. It's ridiculous.
SPEAKER_01:I know, yeah, no.
SPEAKER_02:And I know definitely all like um everything we put out is gonna be the best, but I definitely want to try and put out the best for our listeners.
SPEAKER_01:No, for sure. And like I said, that's the that's why we're we're starting this since we're starting this podcast and we have no experience. I mean, I have a little bit of radio and TV and recording experience uh musically, and like I said, you've definitely come a long way from getting on that mic, so but now it's just about honing our skills and trying to make the show better, and little by little we'll find some format. But for now, that's what it is, is that'll be our topics, and uh for now that this is what we're trying to plug in. A little bit of putt bus buzz sprouts. So if you're ever interested in checking out, but if you're ever interested in checking out how to start a podcast, definitely Buzz Sprout helps out a lot. A ton actually, and it even has tutorials to help you give you ideas, maybe give helps you uh with a guideline of uh your first hundred days of a podcast and where you should be at, and starts giving you a map of progress and all that stuff. And we're definitely going by that a little bit for now, but we are definitely looking to branch out in quite a few things as far as content. This whole interview thing, like this whole two two-man show thing is is awesome. We're trying to keep to that. We are gonna have, like I said, a third co-host. That way, maybe we can give you some idea after we exp uh experiment with it on how to set up your you know, kind of quick tips on how to what to do, where to go look for, how to be able to set all that up. Because right now I'm in the process of that and uh we still have to get a little bit more equipment too, because if we do want to get somebody else, and you know another person interview, you know.
SPEAKER_02:Right. And on top of all that, I I do know when we first started, we did run into a couple of technical issues. Yeah, we're still running uh running. No, no, no, definitely and that's just and that's just what I want to uh how uh you know, how would you think these people could prepare for just run it, just run through them, just the practice drills? I mean, I remember we were doing a couple of practice drills ourselves.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I mean, I mean, first of all, it really all started with just us hanging out and and just having conversations well well, you know, after work on winding and stuff, and you that kind of got us into a little bit more into trying to focus on after we did the start of the podcast and trying to find content, we started focusing we started focusing more on specific content, whether it was a certain subject or like now that we found this topic starting a podcast. It was definitely hard trying to find content to talk about, remember?
SPEAKER_02:Definitely.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, me personally, I I I've been finding myself reading the news a lot. YouTube videos for sure. Yeah, YouTube is uh big outlet for news. Very well, uh you have to kind of take a lot of it with a grain of salt. I I usually like to watch like those three eye atlas videos, but those three eye atlas videos you have to kind of weed through what speculation and you know but is this is actual facts.
SPEAKER_02:There's nothing wrong with speculating, you know? Yeah that we're not the only ones here on earth that's right.
SPEAKER_01:Or in and not to say that that's what it is, but like it's still interesting the way that the it's behaving and all that stuff too.
SPEAKER_02:So you know I haven't heard anything about it lately.
SPEAKER_01:No, I have well, I mean I think at this point uh it already passed us. So but there is a whole nother theory now with uh like I said, these are all theories now. Uh I guess something happened with the uh Voyager 2, I think, or Voyager 1, the furthest satellite out in space or something like that.
SPEAKER_02:Oh I heard about that, yeah. Like it's uh well they've been trying to supposedly send out signals or like they send out pictures, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I guess something threw it off course or something from what they say. Wow. A little bit.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Well, it's a it's a mystery out there.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. I didn't mean to get us off track, but no, I mean that's just we didn't really get off track. That's you know, we you know that's the whole point, too. Is like about my idea for this was like we start off with like a little bit of talking about the experience of starting with the podcast, and then eventually we kind of run in it while giving examples, we run into uh topics to talk about, like what just happened right there, you know. Yeah. And sorry, we do apologize if we don't ever get to to get to a point and we like get so derailed that it's like whatever, like yeah, we never get to the point. Yeah, but feel please feel free to get to get to leave comments and just be like, yeah, dude. You know what the podcast should be called? Never to the point.
SPEAKER_02:You know, these guys never get to the point. It's just one it's like that one thing we were talking about yesterday, how you're reading the start. I like that one, you know. Yeah, yeah. Never to the point, you know. Here at the show, baby. Because we you know, we're just having a good time, bro. No, we're messed with you, of course, right?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I mean, we did give them a little bit of help with the budcast, you know, directed him to a good start right there.
SPEAKER_02:And um, another thing is I remember I think we switched setups like two or three times, no?
SPEAKER_01:Well, yeah, we started with the uh with with your little with your favorite board. Yeah, yeah, I got I got a charge for you, bro. Yeah, for sure.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, dude. I remember, and I mean, like we always tell the people if you're passionate about something, whatever it may be, dude. I know people go to work and sometimes we lose that passion or like we lose that because we're so tired after work, we really, you know. But whenever you have time on the week and revisit it, dude. Whatever it may be that they like. Uh you like drawing, you like music. Yeah, take some time, dude, when you got a day off. Just you know, yeah, and uh so I know I know it's it's hard too, because some things, some passions do cost money, depending on what your passion is. Some people love guns that costs money. Some people love cars, fixing their car, swooping it up. And and but it's it feels good.
SPEAKER_01:I love creating conduct money because I I do I I have a master mechanics degree and and all that stuff on gas and diesel engines, and I have worked in on automotive on ge on gas engines for I don't even know how many years, like a decade and a half, I think. But I've never really been passionate about that. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like I like creating things, but lately I've been finding myself more interested in like woodworking and well, I mean, um I'm a musician too. I've been a musician longer than I was a mechanic, so definitely playing music and creating creating sounds, whether it's my own or other people's music.
SPEAKER_02:Well, like uh, you know, no pressure, just hopefully uh me and the people could hear maybe maybe a little clip. It don't even gotta be old, maybe just 20 seconds. A Christmas song, you know, or yeah, no rush, no rush, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:You know, it might be like I said, it might be a Christmas song or a hymn song, a hymn song that that's like uh like I'll come you of faithful or something, but uh yeah, no, definitely.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, you know, and uh it's funny, dude, because I remember my taste in music growing up. I wasn't really into like Nirvana or like no didn't do it, and like you know, my mom.
SPEAKER_01:That's what got me in the game, son.
SPEAKER_02:Dude, my mom loves she loved like Navana or Sublime and all of them, right? So I would be in the car cruising with her. I was little don't tell me you don't like Sublime. No, no, I'm not saying I look little right. Let me put it. I I was young and I didn't. When I was young, I really didn't. I'm not gonna lie.
SPEAKER_01:I'm gonna recommend, dude. You you throw on, I mean Sublime Sublime will probably be the one that will get you hooked because that's the one that got me in. But listen to you gotta listen to the whole album though. And then I promise you, after you listen to Sublime Sublime, you have to listen to all of it. Like you go find songs that are like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what the fuck, you know? And then that's gonna get you a little bit more interested. And then listen to uh 40 ounces to freedom, which is the really honestly for me their best one. It's their classic.
SPEAKER_00:40 ounces to freedom.
SPEAKER_01:40 ounces to freedom. That's the one that's got two smoke, two joints, and it's got it's got I mean, that's a cover. It's got uh what other one does it have? Badfish. Badfish? Yeah, yeah. Ain't got no quarrels with God, ain't got no time to get old. Oh, I think I heard it. Lord knows I'm weak. That one? Yeah. So that one and uh Myruka. It's just Caress Me Down. That's a that's a badass one. My number, that's another good one. Yeah, man, that that whole that whole album for me.
SPEAKER_02:So you growing so you grew up listening to this type of music by choice, right?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, I mean, I was like I think like uh 14 years old when uh when I started listening to Sublime Sublime. And he was already passed uh he had passed away by then. I mean I had listened to heard their their first, whatever, their first uh what do you call it? Their singles, their radio stuff, the first couple of songs, like Santa Santa.
SPEAKER_02:Right, I remember that one.
SPEAKER_01:And when I got Sublime Sublime, which is their self-titled one, like I said, I definitely liked that one, but then I I I really then I got uh 40 ounces to freedom. And it turns out that that one was before Sublime Sublime. And he had already passed away by then. I think he that's like I said, that's kind of what got me interested in him, because people were like, Oh, he's a great guy, and all this other stuff, and he really was a great guy. Rest in peace. Shout out to him, shout out to his son, shout out to uh you're gonna burn your fingers, bro. Shout out to uh shout out to uh Rome. Definitely.
SPEAKER_02:It's just uh I definitely oh dude, I have a whole playlist now of uh a couple of uh just just uh Navarna in there, um Red Hot Chili Pippers in there, a couple of songs of just everybody in there, bro. But like I said, um I was just I would be with my mom's and she would put this on the on the radio or she would be blasting this type of music, and I I didn't really pay attention to it much, you know. And then as I got older, I started listening to it more. I'm like, yeah man, these these songs are kind of hitting, you know. You kind of go through some things and you start trying to kind of like relating to the music more.
SPEAKER_01:And then you listen to uh Robin the Hood. Who's Robin the Hood? It's another one of their albums. But this one uh they had it was they had DJ. Uh they had a DJ. I mean, they have a DJ in in all of them at some point or another in some of the songs, but it was really, I think, DJ produced. So it was kind of more like I don't know, it was this cool album. It's a great album, don't get me wrong. It was like one of their first albums. I think I'm pretty sure it was right after I'm pretty sure it was right after 40 ounces to freedom.
SPEAKER_02:And these are like garage bandits, uh, garage bands people kind of like started with the band.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, they started off as a garage band. They were more considered a punk uh reggae ska band. But that's crazy, bro.
SPEAKER_02:To get a start like that, to you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's how most people in those days get get started, got started. I mean, most of uh rock and roll, that's how most people got started.
SPEAKER_02:And it's crazy because um I kind of look like I kind of look around like of what we got going here, and it might not be the prof most professional rock ain't what it is anymore, you know? Yeah, well, no, no, definitely not. I mean, look at the thing is though the it's a new generation and and uh and uh and it's hard to explain.
SPEAKER_01:No, yeah, don't get me wrong, but respect to respect to some of these rappers or new and coming, even some of these new incoming artists when it comes to country music and all that because pop is more hip-hop now than it is rock based, but uh more or more EDM-based, but uh shout out to these guys that are starting to incor to incorporate whether it's guitar samples or they actually have an actual artist, guitarist playing playing some of these guitar riffs or whatever.
SPEAKER_02:It's it's nice to see some of these bands, and I'm talking about rock bands, right, that are up and coming. It's nice to see some of them still giving credit to uh some of the old school bands that you know you hear like, oh you know, what we're gonna do. Well, that's music is just influential no matter what. Definitely, right? Like everybody's been influenced by somebody.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, and then most people start off as uh they they just got started, huh? Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:No, yeah, they're just most bands start off as cover bands. Cover bands, right? Like yeah, and then you know what? They say somebody probably spots them and say they uh you know they got they they look like they could have a lot of things.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, like there's been a couple bands downstairs that I've heard that uh you think they could put something together? They did some, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, they did put something together.
SPEAKER_01:No, if they did put something together, that that you know it would come out pretty decent if they did their own stuff. Uh huh. Original, basically, is what they call them.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, okay, okay. Well, yeah, no, dude. I mean, you know us, we never get to the point here.
SPEAKER_01:And yeah. So uh another thing about starting off uh starting a studio. What's that? Since uh it's coinciding with what's happening.
SPEAKER_02:Right, right, yeah, I'm not gonna lie, stairs. Right. Yeah, that that that kind of threw me off my game.
SPEAKER_01:So that yeah, me too.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, the music on it. That's what I'm all right.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, so what did they say? Bambalow? Bambalo, yeah, kind of Spanish type shit.
SPEAKER_02:It's like some uh Jamaican one, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Well, it's uh Caribbean, like Afro Caribbean, yeah, yeah, some more like South South American.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, we might we might go check it out, but no.
SPEAKER_01:I sixted myself. Um from that place. Anyways. Anyways, anyways. Alright. So it's always recommended to find a nice soundproof spot. Yeah, definitely.
SPEAKER_02:You don't want to be right here with the Momba.
SPEAKER_01:From my understanding, is that we could probably put up some blankets. Put up some blankets. Wall of blankets. Some b so it could deaden the sound a little bit more.
SPEAKER_02:Or you know those things from uh Dunkin' Donuts?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Those cup holders?
SPEAKER_01:Get like a hundred of them and just Yeah, no, no, it's not one of those things. He said, Calm down. Uh the blanket is not gonna damage my walls. Okay. How are we gonna put tape?
SPEAKER_02:No, but they're still still. No, I'm just kidding. No, yeah, yeah, blanket is better.
SPEAKER_01:You know, it just kind of helps create a better sound of itens this vibrations a little bit better. Oh, yeah, definitely.
SPEAKER_02:Um so definitely have a decent space. Soundproof is it could be a garage, it could be your basement, it could be your room, uh definitely not above a bar. Definitely, yeah. You don't want that.
SPEAKER_01:You don't want to you don't want to do a pod next to an airport, maybe time your your cast. Not that I'm talking smack about, you know, but like if you can set a certain time, you know. That would always be helpful. Yeah, yeah. But it is what it is, you know. For the we do this for the love of the game, so fuck whatever else is happening, right? Right, right. That's what I'm saying. So that's why we wouldn't have to do that. So we do apologize if it does throw it off again, but at the same time, at the same time, like I said, it is a good topic to talk about. You know, definitely you might be off your game once in a while. And you know, things you will have background noise and all that other stuff. You might have days where your your you're kind of your bread is clouded. But this is what this is for us what helps is um magic mastering uh through bus route. It works really good, it helps really then some of the background noise because if if it didn't cut out a lot of our background noise, then we probably wouldn't be posted up due to copyright infringement because they're always playing a lot of covers downstairs. And you know, that's one thing we uh we were worried about.
SPEAKER_02:I know these tools definitely do help, dude, and they're not really that pricey, especially if depends on if you're doing everything on your own. It's still not as pricey. Um, but it definitely helps. Like if you have a team or if it is two people, you might want to talk about financially splitting it.
SPEAKER_01:So honestly, I feel like that probably won't ever happen until we start getting making money and are able to pay somebody to that's willing to come down. Right. But even then, even then, yeah, even then, like we say with the thing. Honestly, I would rather just keep it to about the 50-50s instead of 33 33.
SPEAKER_02:Right, right, yeah, no. And we were like we said, we appreciate the people who tune in and stay tuned and download and not 50-50, but you know what I mean.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, right, right. We don't need to go into details or not.
SPEAKER_02:No, no, no, we don't yeah. That's different. But we definitely are thinking about maybe what switching the name and I yeah, yeah, we are looking on revamping and definitely uh changing. I mean, I like shooter, shooter's cool. I just feel like it's time to change it.
SPEAKER_01:Yep, yep, yep. You know, for sure.
SPEAKER_02:Shooter on play that and uh never been about that, never ever been about that. You know, I would suggest not to go to drunk uh to work drunk the next day. Uh or hung over. Or hung over, yeah, definitely that.
SPEAKER_01:Or hung over for that reason. Or seriously hung over.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, you don't want to do that. So, yeah, no, dude. It's definitely been a long journey. It's still a couple of steps. We got the bud sprout. We got the what about the thumbnail? The thumbnail.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, yeah, you I was gonna try to mention that too. Yeah, it needs to look a little bit more freaking. Exactly, exactly.
SPEAKER_02:We need to update it, need to update it.
SPEAKER_01:It looks too need to look like a 12-year-old put it together and it like doesn't even fill up the hole. Exactly.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. So that's something we're gonna take a uh a look at. That's my bad though. No, you're not you're good at it. Um, I do remember um I did say one time instead of uh running a show, we should come, I should come over and then we'll do a little uh editing, yeah, yeah, tweaking stuff.
SPEAKER_01:Every once in a while, yeah, especially when there's this because there are sometimes we uh tend to say some things or mention people's names or your businesses or we don't shouldn't be talking about or mentioning or right, no, but you know what it is, dude. I mean we're keeping it more confidential, right?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, you know, it's not like we're talking so it's not like we're talking about the biggest thing.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, but also too, it's a part of the business.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, no, yeah, no, I mean it is you know, it is what it is, dude. We just try to relate to the people out there because I'm pretty sure some people out there at work they out there want to, you know, throw somebody in yeah, yeah. That's how it is though, anywhere though. Anywhere you go, really dude. Like there's always gonna be that one person, or there's always gonna be this and that. But we just all show up, do what we can, and for sure, yeah. But it does make it easy when uh sometimes you gotta let them know, like, hey bro, not the one, dude. Like so you gotta let them know, like nothing crazy, it's just hey bro, it makes it you don't gotta make my diet my day harder just because you're having a bad day, yeah? Stuff like that.
SPEAKER_01:I forget, yeah. Did I talk about Mark Sanchez the other day? Oh, Mark Sanchez, the foot the football player? Yeah, yeah. I was just telling you about him the other day.
SPEAKER_02:Is that that guy who uh they made him flinch? And uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or that guy who uh uh tumble? Yeah, the fumble. That was the funniest that was the weirdest fumble I've ever seen.
SPEAKER_01:But I never I didn't finish telling you what happened, dude.
SPEAKER_02:What happened?
SPEAKER_01:Okay, so what they test him for drugs or something? No, he he's retired already. He'd been retired for a minute. And I gotta check out and see when this happened.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, did he stab somebody?
SPEAKER_01:He exactly he stabbed somebody? Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:That's him?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, that's him. That was that guy, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:What?
SPEAKER_01:That's what I was trying to tell you. That was a day ago. So it just happened, like what, like a couple days ago?
SPEAKER_02:Like, yeah, like not a day. Yeah, yeah, that was him. That was him.
SPEAKER_01:Yep, yep, yep. That's the guy, bro. Yeah, he played actually, I forget that he played for he wasn't with the Broncos for a quick second, too. Why he stabbed somebody though? He was drunk, they said. I guess he was uh drunk. So the the I'm guessing that he might have been drunk during that buff bumble and during all that stuff.
SPEAKER_02:Well, if he's if that was probably like his last few games, he was probably like whatever.
SPEAKER_01:It's crazy because he's younger than me. I thought he was older than me.
SPEAKER_02:Really?
SPEAKER_01:He's 39, they said. Oh yeah, he's 38. Like, what? He's only 38? Yeah, he's only 38. I that's crazy. Yeah, but wait a minute, like uh Rogers is what 40 David Rogers?
SPEAKER_02:I mean, no, Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for uh he's like 41, 42.
SPEAKER_01:He's like, damn, dude. But then again, too, I mean, those two things happened towards the end of his career, so he was probably drunk when he fumbled, dude.
SPEAKER_02:That was the weirdest fumble I've ever seen. This guy literally just ran into his player and into his ass.
SPEAKER_01:Like it looked like he barely even hit it, dude, to be honest with you, dude. I'm I'm not I'm not joking. It looked like he slipped. I don't know. It looked like he hit his ass and fell back.
SPEAKER_02:That was the weirdest.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Like he yeah, yeah. He's been he was known to do some crazy stuff on the field. So yeah, he stabs that he stabbed that person. Dude, I didn't I didn't know. Check this 68 years old. The person he stabbed? Yep. Yep. But it's so so they're saying allegedly from what I read that he was so they caught him later on when he looked at the footage, he was doing windsprints in in the in the alley.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I seen I I heard I mean I didn't see the video. Yeah, but I heard the title.
SPEAKER_01:They said he was doing wind sprints, and then I forget who it was, some delivery guy or something. Yeah, some delivery guy. He was probably like, hey, what you doing? No, he parked back there, I think ice or something like that. Some something. Some delivery guy was parking his thing to go do deliver some stuff. And uh he ran over there. He's like, hey, uh, you can't park there. And um the the football player?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, he ran to tell the pizza guy he can't park there.
SPEAKER_01:It wasn't pizza guy, but it was somebody uh I think it was an Uber guy. I forget. I just know it was a delivery person.
SPEAKER_02:He told him you can't park there.
SPEAKER_01:You can't park there, and uh, I went to talk to somebody. I already went to talk to somebody, and they said they told me to tell the tell you you can't park there, and I guess the I don't even know if the guy was being like a like a brood or something. Yeah, I don't even think he was, but I guess he I guess this guy charged him.
SPEAKER_02:A sixty-year-old a sixty eight-year-old man and Sanchez charged him. But he charged as at a sixty-eight-year-old man.
SPEAKER_01:Okay. Okay, so let's see. At first, okay, so this is when the byspan by when a bystander walks past Sanchez and they appear to speak to each other, but there's no physical interaction. Right after that, Sanchez turns and starts walking down the alley towards the loading dock when Toll is where Toll is parked. At first, he pauses behind a dumpster and then starts jogging towards Toll's location until he's out of camera view. Police say this is uh this is the time between 1225 and 1230 when Sanchez AM when Sanchez pulled Toll out of his truck, prompting Toll to pepper spray and stab Sanchez, and Sanchez allegedly alleged allegedly slammed Toll to the ground, leaving him with a severe facial laceration. So this all started Oh no, I so I guess he didn't stab him, he got stabbed.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, he got stabbed.
SPEAKER_01:But because of so I guess he threw him down to the ground and something went through his f went punctured his his uh cheek and uh punctured his tongue from my understanding.
SPEAKER_02:Because he he because he was just arguing with some random dude, uh the delivery driver, like I said.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, or like it says here. That sounds kind of weird. I'm wondering what he was delivering though.
SPEAKER_02:Probably pizza.
SPEAKER_01:Uh let's find out so he got stabbed? Mm-hmm. It just says a service truck driver.
SPEAKER_02:A service truck driver, he was probably servicing a truck that was broken down, maybe, or towing a car?
SPEAKER_01:No, it looked like he was delivering something. It was probably just a food delivery for the restaurant. Because it was like a restaurant slash.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, so he's the victim.
SPEAKER_01:No, he's he's the one that went to go to pull the driver out of the truck the truck. Sanchez did.
SPEAKER_02:The football player went to the truck to grab the driver out the truck.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, he pulled him out.
SPEAKER_02:That guy was on crack or some shit. Yeah, so did he say that driver sprayed him and stabbed him?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah, pretty much.
SPEAKER_02:You think that's self-defense?
SPEAKER_01:No, they arrested him. What he was defending himself. I mean, at one point, at one point, when somebody comes and puts their hands on you, you could do whatever you want.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Doesn't mean it matter if they're punching you or anything like that. Especially if they're trying to pull you out of the truck.
SPEAKER_02:That's crazy. Hold on. What the hell was he doing? What was it again?
SPEAKER_01:When Sanch uh allegedly when Sanchez pulled Toll out of his truck, prompting Toll to pepper spray and stabbed Sanchez. And Sanchez alleged allegedly slammed Toll to his to the ground, leaving him with a f severe facial lacer laceration. That's fucked up.
SPEAKER_02:That's that's that sounds super random.
SPEAKER_01:I mean uh the dude was 68 years old, they said. Well, why would the why would uh it's like a 20-year-old age difference, bro?
SPEAKER_02:That's what I'm saying. Why would Sanchez go and try to grab it?
SPEAKER_01:He was drunk, they said. He was drunk. He was and then they said that he walked away and he went to another restaurant. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:All prepped spray?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, well, they they said that first because the truck driver drove himself to the hospital and said, Oh, I was attacked by a football player. And he's like, I stabbed him and whatever when he went into the yard, because he went, he drove himself to the to the yard.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:And then I guess Sanchez right after that walked like a few blocks up to another restaurant, a cafeteria, and was all bloodstains, blood in his hands, and fucking eating or whatever, eating and drinking or something, something like that. That's crazy. And then somebody called it somebody now, they called the ambulance for him, they're like, hey dude, you okay? Because he was stabbed. He didn't he was pepper drunk. He was pepper sprayed, so he was sure he's you know, people he smelled like he had to smell like pepper spray. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_02:But you know when you're drunk and you and like you eat, I don't know how to believe me.
SPEAKER_01:I know. Yeah, the stories I have about that one maybe later on you know, keep people interested. But then I guess some I think somebody called the either called the cops or they called the the ambulance and hey dude, I think it was the ambulance like, hey bro, let's let's go take you in. Well no, I think he went first. And then later on at another hospital, he uh was the other guy. But at first they were treating him as the victim, like like he was like Sanchez was the victim. And then as things like a couple hours later, then it got the wind of the other story that some foot football player attacked him, you know, from another guy. And it's like, uh we have to rescue, sir. So they arrested him in on the hospital bed. I guess they asked him what happened. I don't know. I don't know, just because you're fucking drunk. Yeah, dude.
SPEAKER_02:See, that's the thing, bro.
SPEAKER_01:You can't they're saying before before that, dude, he was doing wind sprints like crazy. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:You think you think maybe all those tackles messed him up in the head, or you think it's just a I mean for him to do something like that?
SPEAKER_01:And and they're saying that because he was just he had just rebuilt himself, rebuilt his image from that those two disasters, and just like everything from his exit from that and his exit in football was just like mired with just like the poor guy, man. It's like damn dear poor guy. He self-destructed. So, you know, you know it's at towards the end of his career he m he was more than likely drinking quite a bit.
SPEAKER_02:Oh yeah. You know? Well, it's it's a sad story, you know. It had sad it had to turn up that way.
SPEAKER_01:They say he was he was just he had just re rebuilt his image, retired from the league, and became an analyst. I think he was uh some sort of a commentator or something. For the Monday night game or Sunday night, I forget which one.
SPEAKER_02:But yeah, I think he uh I know what you mean. There's like yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:He nah, no more. They say he's he's facing uh at least a cut a year or two of jail time.
SPEAKER_02:Only I think they're giving him the special trip.
SPEAKER_01:They might give they might give him more. I don't know, because the Mahiri, I guess, later on came out and said, I'll give I don't care who you are. Exactly. You come into our town, you can't just pull randomly.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, dude. Come on, man.
SPEAKER_01:You can't just pull people out of cars and yeah, we're gonna take you to the food folks. So who knows? There might be more. If they take him to the full extent, he might be facing quite a bit. Yeah, because uh who knows? I mean, I know uh you're going on that having read that, dude. Yeah, that was yesterday that I read that. I saw that. I was like, damn, dude. After all the stuff I told you, I was like, damn, bro. That's why I'm serious. I think I think yeah, I think it's that time, bro, to just you know, chill the fuck out.
SPEAKER_02:Gas to you know, you don't want to uh to get to a point where yeah yeah, yeah. And they always got what the white claws though. White claws are not nothing, just tea?
SPEAKER_01:Tea and water, just tea and water, bro. Yeah, that's good. I know a couple of people that are gonna be a little disappointed.
SPEAKER_02:It's just yeah, it's just you gotta stick with it.
SPEAKER_01:You could even lie, you know, you could just lie and be like, um You could just get a little something, something, and just you know, like act like I am and just be like some people might start acting funny, you know, but I don't know. We'll see, we'll see.
SPEAKER_02:It's just it's it's it's hard to tell people because they don't believe you, right? Like the people just don't believe, like even if you were to be like, oh, you just don't want to drink with me, or you just don't want to you just want to drink by yourself, or you're just not trying to, yeah. So it's like no, dude. I'm really not, I'm really trying to change no, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I I think I know how to do it. I because I think I have that much, you know.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. Well, no, definitely, definitely. But no, I mean, it's always good to have a few drinks.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, and I know that when I make a choice too, to not I won't, you know. Yeah, well yeah, and usually because I have before, and it usually takes stuff like this for me to be here, you know, seeing stuff like that and then feeling you know uh for no, it's always uh good to take a break from certain things. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Your boy's not you your boy's not hanging up his cleats just yet. He's just no no just no, no, definitely putting himself on the injured uh in the IRL. You know, putting himself in the IRL for for a little bit, you know.
SPEAKER_02:Gotta yeah, gotta re uh freshen up, you know. That's why it's good to just take a break, relax, sit back, recharge it.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. But here at the show, where we never get to the point and where we shake it down, we shake it and bake it.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Yeah. Shake it and bake this guy.
SPEAKER_02:It's been a it's been a wonderful journey.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, so far so good, man.
SPEAKER_02:You know? And uh God willing it'll continue to be a good one.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah, totally, for sure. That's cool.
SPEAKER_02:You know, for the rest of the day, probably just go visit family, hang out for a bit. Take it easy, dude, because the morning was rough. Yeah. Yeah, I can't do it. Yeah, exactly. I want to kind of go out. I'm not gonna lie. It's just I feel like a bummy weather, so that and I'm kinda trying to save up a little.
SPEAKER_01:So yeah, I know I need to save up too, so that's that's what I'm trying to do.
SPEAKER_02:I would just go see what's going on.
SPEAKER_01:I figure that that'll definitely that and uh the not drinking will definitely pair well together, as they say.
SPEAKER_02:You think they're gonna start using robots as cops?
SPEAKER_01:Like actual Nah, we're we're too far from that. For real? We're too far from that.
SPEAKER_02:That would be that would be messed up.
SPEAKER_01:Too far from that.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Way too far from that.
SPEAKER_02:I don't think I would get I don't think I would stop for a robot, to be honest. No, nah. What the hell is he gonna do? That's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_01:I mean he might, yeah. I mean he may I mean it would be one of those he'll he'll fuck me up though. I'm not gonna lie. It'd be like a speed trap, is like they catch you, catch you speeding.
SPEAKER_02:Dude, those things could probably run fast as hell, though. Imagine trying to run from one of those things. I doubt it. No, no, they can't. They can't they can't, they're clumsy as hell.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah. A lot of things you can do. True.
unknown:True.
SPEAKER_02:I would be nice to get one of those little nice little cleaning robots, though, the ones that you just turn on and they clean the house. It was decent.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, actually, I'm thinking about getting one of those. Really?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, yeah, be careful. Supposedly they spy on you.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, you you carry your phone on you all the time, right?
SPEAKER_02:So yo, supposedly the phone gives you spinal uh back problems, so all that 5G and stuff. I don't know. I went a month without a phone, dude. Let me tell you, it was the best time. Yeah, it was the best time.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, it kind of sucked, like, you know, thank god nothing happened, like emergency or nothing wise, but a month without a you know there is a a trend of people switching back to flip phones, flip phones, and even then, like you can get yourself like a razor that's it's a smart flip phone. It's a small screen, yeah. It's a foldables uh you know.
SPEAKER_02:The only reason I would I would um the only real app that I would kind of need on like a flip phone is probably like maybe spot uh but then you would need Bluetooth to connect to yeah, so but maybe GPS.
SPEAKER_01:I mean you can get those apps on the flip phones, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you're still gonna get yourself a little touch screen, it's just gonna be little flip phone. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I think that's how most flip phones are now. If you have the if you have the ability for touch screen, they're gonna make that little screen a touchscreen no matter what. Oh, definitely, definitely. It just makes it a lot more difficult to navigate, hence why people go to flip phones because you still have that technology, it's just a little bit more the that that technology will still be there, the apps, all that shit is just a little bit harder to navigate. Like if you want to get online or go do check some shit, is yeah, it's not as simple as yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, no, so people are gonna be yeah, like who the hell wants to be like yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, good time.
SPEAKER_01:At least that's what I imagine, unless it's really cheap. If you want to get like a granny cheat uh Obama sort of phone or whatever. Little domino phone. But honestly, if if our phones spy on us, I imagine Obama Obama phones definitely spy on us.
SPEAKER_02:Oh yeah, dude.
SPEAKER_01:I'm you know, I'm pretty sure uh pretty sure they're they're all wired. Yeah, no, I'm actually thinking about uh looking into Incogni or one of those. What's that? Incogni? Yeah, incognito. Incogni helps it's it's kind it's web protection. Um kind of help with uh not to steal your data. Get your there, you help get your uh cancel whatever subscriptions, wherever your name's out there where it shouldn't be out and all that other stuff. Or if we get cookies for a lot from certain companies and all that stuff, it's uh it sends them help sends them letters to be like, hey dude, quit with that shit. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. So they're kind of like your lawyer online.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, kind of in a sense. Like, and uh, yeah, they also help with helping you find it's but also like VPN and all that stuff too. I mean, I have VPN through what do you call it, Google?
SPEAKER_02:Right.
SPEAKER_01:That's pretty good. Right, right, yeah, not definitely.
SPEAKER_02:You gotta protect ourselves out there in the cyber world. Yeah, exactly. You know, that's why I try not to use my phone too much, dude. Yeah, I really I I I really try not to, because you know, that they're every little every little tap, every little call, every little thing, bro, and I don't like that. I really don't. No, you know, there's no need for all that. You know, I understand if you're watching somebody the first week or two, but if you see there's nothing going on, they're just a regular person just living their life. Why you why you why you gotta keep, you know what I mean? Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_01:I don't like that, dude. Yep, yep, yep. I hear you there. But I don't know. It's it's all about trying to sell you stuff, man. I get it, but that's too far. Like, you'd be amazed, dude. There's ways you can go you can go and check out like all the the developers and all the the companies that are like have cookies and all that stuff on your phone and yeah, all the websites you've been to and it keeps the log of all that, dude. Talking about hundreds upon hundreds, even in j and on a one-day log. It's in it's insane, bro. How many people have access into your computer, bro? It really is. People don't know this. Yeah, that's why it's five uh VPNs. Very important, very important. Yeah, and even then, you know, you know, right research, right? VPN and encrypt uh encrypting.
SPEAKER_02:Dude, the internet it's a whole different world in itself. We are whole different rules, whole different ball game, you know what I mean? Data is it. I feel like I feel like in the internet world it's it's all about data, you know, and there's there's just that's too much, bro. Yeah, you shouldn't be taking all that data from from somebody, bro. You shouldn't be, you know, and not nobody's perfect, yeah you know, no, but if if he's not making bombs, if he's not you know, and then the thing is, dude, you're watching all these people and look at how many shootings are happening. How the fuck, how if you're watching people, if you're watching, if you're keeping an eye on people, yeah. How dude? How does this kid get to the like dude? And the thing is, like, some of these parents or some of these people are telling them, hey, they're sending them photos, or they're calling them, hey, this kid's making threats. Oh, okay, we'll take care of it. Yep, yeah. And then what? You you do 16 god forbid bodies later, dude?
SPEAKER_01:They hang up, it's like, yeah, it'll it'll take care of itself.
SPEAKER_02:You know what I mean? You know what I mean? Like, come on, dude, that's some bullshit, dude. Like, I I don't understand, bro. Civil dispute, civil dispute. You know what I mean? But dude, it's like all this surveillance for what? Just a just a yeah, come on, man.
SPEAKER_01:Well, no, that was that that's funny, because it's it's funny you say that, because uh that was the the and that why I'm saying what I'm saying with that uh video about that squatter that was that they were kicking out, every that lady would call the cops all the time. And uh the cops would be like because they they would know, but they all knew the the backstory of why she was there and why he was there, and and they would be like, Well, civil dispute can't really get involved, that's between the two of you. Like they were like, unless you guys put hands on each other. See what I mean? That's the thing, bro.
SPEAKER_02:But like it shouldn't have to get to that point.
SPEAKER_01:Or or like uh throw throw things at each other. I think I guess spitting at each other too is a is a is a bookable offense.
SPEAKER_02:But it shouldn't have to get to that point, bro. I shouldn't have had to wait for someone to spit at me to okay, now we're gonna book them. Or I shouldn't have had to wait. Like it I shouldn't have had to wait for someone to kick down my door when I see them coming up my stairs with a mask and a gun in hand. Oh, you can't shoot him. He's not kicking in your door yet. What do you mean he's not kicking in my door yet? You want me to wait for him to kick in my door?
SPEAKER_01:No, they want you to.
SPEAKER_02:Or take a shit. They want you to take a bullet first, right? They want you to right then. Dude, that's ridiculous. You want me to wait for this man to stab me before I could even let off a shot? Are you are you out your mind? And then what if it's just more than one person? What do I gotta wait for all three of them to stab me? Yeah, yeah. It's just it doesn't make sense, dude. It doesn't make sense. And and the thing is, it doesn't have to be that difficult, bro. You know what I mean? Like, someone comes, I get it, like someone comes into your house masked up, trying to do harm, dude. It's just lay them out. Nobody wants, I'm pretty sure most people in the world don't want to have to lay people out. But if they're coming into your house or trying to hurt you or your family, yeah, no, forget about it. Forget about it.
SPEAKER_01:And that sucks though, because most people won't though. So I mean, look at unfortunately, look at 9-11, rest in peace. You know, look at those three, look at those airplanes.
SPEAKER_02:But see, that's a whole different rabbit hole.
SPEAKER_01:I kind of don't want that's a whole that's a whole different because I I promise you this. I promise you this. Yeah, never mind. Never mind. Yeah, it's a I'm no no no, it's I'm always down a gold. Everybody likes to say I would have done this and all that, but that's that's no, that that's disrespectful. Well, supposedly. Supposedly didn't they They just had box cutters, right? That's what I'm saying, but but why they were but they were threatening bombs, but from my understanding, it's like, okay, well, I mean, if you have a bomb and you're still gonna go blow us up anyways. Um you know? I'm going out one way or the other, yeah. I might as well go out. Like the one plane that did survive, I mean, they didn't really survive, did they? But they did they fall back, or did they for was there a plane that survived?
SPEAKER_02:Dude, it's I can't remember, but I think they did fight back, and I think they were able to land it, kinda, maybe. I'm not a hundred percent sure, dude. It's just a tragic.
SPEAKER_01:I wanna I wanna kinda uh I forget that one.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, definitely.
SPEAKER_01:Did uh any of the airplane from 9-11 survivors survive it's a tragic story.
SPEAKER_02:Definitely a lot of conspiracy uh conspiracies behind that one.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, shout out to United Flight 93. They're the ones that fought back against the hijackers, which resulted in the plane crashing in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, instead of reaching its entire oh yeah, that's the one that was gonna that was heading for the Pentagon. Targeted Washington, DC, I mean. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:I think supposedly you know, I don't want to get too much into it right now because we're almost at the end of the show, too.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, no, you know, but still.
SPEAKER_02:I've I've you know, I hope the people listening do enjoy the topics we did bring up today and we continue to bring up. We always try to bring something new and fresh to the table.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I always kind of keep it respectful sometimes too, you know. Exactly. I get it we're in that in in that time of in that day and age where shock value makes for more clicks, but it's not worth it on my end. No, definitely not. Yeah, maybe it's we try to keep it cool. Yes, I get it. We sometimes we talk about uncomfortable subjects, but believe me, I don't think we talk about anything anything way worse than most people out there. Right, right, right. No, yeah. And mainly it's it's our own experiences. We're not sitting here talking. Yeah, we all you know, we um about other people, you know, we're not making anything uh fictional. It's we're not making anything up, it's uh nonfiction.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, no, definitely. That and um we do we try to bring you, you know, updates on how to start the podcast, a few topics, our opinions, and just how things are, and you know, we we hope you don't uh cut nobody out there.
