The Simplest $10K/Month Business Most People Miss ($0 to Start) - Ep. #327

That's how Hollywood works, so you have people that are leftists, and then you have the quiet people. People come up on the same panel and I agree with you, but don't, don't out me. Have you had friends say that to you? I have people on sets do it. In Hollywood, it's important business decisions to go liberal, because you will be blackballed, and then you have all the other preening liars who are just signaling all the time. The writer's room in a sitcom or a late-night show might have 15 people in it. 10 of them are worthless. It's all politics. You walk in with a mega hat. You're not making it back into that room. Now, here's the other problem. What has happened to California? Los Angeles has essentially turned into Mexico. Then there's London, which may have turned into some parts of the Middle East. You're coming from a place that's a dump because you guys ruined it, and then they decide they should move somewhere else that's more hospitable, and then they just bring their politics, and they just begin the process of ruining that city. Is it a version of California that can come back? Adam Crowder, welcome to the show. Thanks for having me. You've got all these interesting philosophies about the death of California, and the death of our way of living, and I want to go through them. Okay. Is it why if I just name something and you can take me on what that means? Sure. I mean, firstly, before I get into it, I'm actually going to ask you what has happened to California? When California, it seems good. What's wrong? It's got a lot of garbage in it. It's kind of dirty. There's a lot of graffiti and just garbage, and that kind of thing, which were the golden state. It's kind of weird that we're sort of the messy garbage day. Obviously, homeless people are sort of everywhere, and sort of general living stuff. The schools used to be a lot better, and they rank a lot lower, and taxes have gone up. It's basically taxes have gone up, and all the services have gone down. Essentially is what happened to California. But I've been here my whole life, so I have something to compare it to. A lot of people just show up and just think, "Well, this is how it is." Yeah. And it's true, because it's the same way, if I showed up in your city, I'd just go, "Well, this is just how it is, but I wouldn't know the old version of it, which was much better." I think you'd still be shocked to see London. No, yeah. Yeah. I've been there quite a few times. The best part, first off, forget about London. You've got to go to Chichester, you've got to go to Goodwood Festival. Right. There I have been more than once. That's more countryside. Yeah, that's in the country. That's nice. London's finished. Really? Yeah. I think so. When you last in central London? I mean, it's been probably eight or ten years. Yeah, it's changed a lot in that time. Really? Yeah. Because the immigration has been just through the roof since then, and people mostly go to London, and then it's just totally changed. So it's kind of Muslim now? It's very Muslim. It's kind of third-worldly. Some people are not Muslim still. Some. Yeah. But yeah, yeah, I know. Well, this basically, so it's kind of interesting. So California, so Los Angeles, where we are, has essentially turned into Mexico. Then there's London, which may have turned into some parts of the Middle East or something like that. Then you sort of get into this culture thing, like who were Mexicans versus Middle Eastern people and what do they do? Well, here what they do is they set up and they sell stuff on the street. Basically, they sell food on the street, but they also work all the construction jobs. So every single, every single construction job, you will see will be manned by a Mexican. Right. That's what they do. But is that a problem? That's the way, isn't it? No, I mean, I, you know, different cultures have different come with different things. Japanese go to a soccer game and then they clean up after themselves. Is that a problem? No, I don't think that's a problem. That's a cultural thing that we enjoy. And then there's other cultures that, you know, want to marry 12-year-olds and are into honor killings. And then that is a problem. So we have to kind of figure out. It's not like shun all new cultures. Tell me about yourself. You know what I mean? Like, let's say you have a roommate. You go, I'm looking for a roommate. Well, I don't do dishes and I do like to walk around in the nude. Okay, that's your okay. I think what about you? I love cleaning everything up and I'm going most of the time and I walk around and socks very quietly and go, okay, that's you. I would welcome you. Yeah. So is one guy bad? Is the other guy bad? They're just different. Some cultures. Let's not call them better than others. Let's just say like the roommate. I just prefer someone who cleans their dishes and walks around in their socks and doesn't blare their stereo. Yeah. And there's a lot of stereo blaring here. It is interesting. I mean, you do everything's in Spanish. I feel like I've just arrived in a city that is basically a Spanish speaker. Now, I speak Spanish. I'm pretty happy with that, right? But that's not really nice for what people who live here, people from here. Well, I mean, I think we want to live in a world where there's Mexico. We want to live in a world where there's London and there's a world where there's California and Hollywood and LA and there's Switzerland and Germany and Japan. We want to live in that world and then you want to visit those worlds. But I don't know where, if you want to live in a world where those countries franchise and now London has essentially become Iran or Iraq or wherever in the Middle East. And I don't know that Los Angeles has become Mexico. But I like Los Angeles to be Los Angeles. And we used to go to Mexico all the time. So you was fun going to Mexico. But then you'd come back to Los Angeles and it'd be Los Angeles. But that kind of talk, I don't know. I think it's probably racist talk or something or at least I don't know if anyone thinks it's racist, but they like to say it is to kind of shut you up. Yeah, it's an interesting thing. I was just in Japan and they they know who they are. They don't really care. And they're by our standards incredibly racist all the time. And they just don't give a shit. Yeah, well, I mean, hungry is hungry and pollen is pollen Japan's Japan. I don't I don't think it's racist for them to want to maintain their culture. I like that. And I think every culture should be happy to maintain their culture. And then you can figure out what their culture is. And then you can decide whether to visit their culture or not depending on what that what that conclusion is. So if you like sushi and sumo wrestling, then you can go to Japan. And if you like beheadings and honor killings and you go to the Middle East. Yeah, that's why I go so often to the Middle East. And the headings in Mexico as well. That's the big thing as well apparent. I had this debate with Anne Colter because she was suggesting it was worse to have lots of Mexican immigration than than Islamic immigration. No, I don't know. First off, the Hispanic, the Mexican culture comes here to work. They work and they work construction flat out. I mean, if you I'll put it to you this way, you can go to the palisades, which just burned out. You can drive through the palisades and you can see 45 or 50 houses in different stages of rebuilding. You could walk onto any job site. You are not going to find anyone from the Middle East. You're not going to find any Japanese. You're not going to find any Jews. You're not going to find any blacks. You will only find Mexicans. And probably like one white dude who's running the crowd. Basically, it's one. There's like one white dude in 30 Mexicans and that's who's building everything in this town. Now, I don't know what it's like in London, but benefits for people. Well done. Right. So you go, I mean, I would tell Anne Colter, you got one group that comes into Minnesota and collects benefits and or London and collects benefits. And then you got another group that comes to California and LA and they strap on the bags and they're on the job site. Yeah, right now. I think it's almost incomparable. I don't know what she was trying to. What was she getting? I think it's like she likes to have a debate and an other. I don't know. So one of these philosophies, progressives never pump the brakes. That's one of them. Yes. What does that mean? They just move on to the next crazy thing. You know, they just go, you know, we think Gaze should have the right to marry. And then you argue about it for a while and then at some point you go, all right, let's let Gaze marry. And then they go, we also want to make sure that there's representation. Like we need a gay person on each board of a Fortune 500 company. Go, is that really make a big yes, that's okay. I argue about then they go, we want to have gay pride parades and we want to fly. I'm going to fly the gay flag over City Hall and then you go, I don't think we need to fly the kids. Oh, okay. And they go we need drag queen story hour and you're like what is that we bring some he she that's morally obese Who's tough to jump between his legs to read cat and a hat to four-year-olds and you go no I don't want oh okay, so really what they want to do is agitate they don't really they don't have an end game Mm-hmm. It just keeps going do you think they're aware of that in themselves? I don't know they don't know they They're they're really just kind of angry at their dad and it's if you ever meet a woman or any But he's like really angry with their dad that just keep agitating, you know, they don't really If you have a kid and that kid is a pain in the ass and wants to agitate You realize that when you they say they want something, you know, we want equality we want fairness We want to be treated with you know, whatever and then you do it. They just go right to the next thing they're dissatisfied about so If you just kind of break down the whole sort of game movement or black lives matters or whatever you just realized They just want to agitate. They they have everything they need everything's All there is no law that prevents them from doing anything But they're still pissed off and they still want more and by the way what they do is Of course drag queen story hour is only made to agitate. There's no advantage the kids don't need it You don't need it. By the way if somebody said to me, hey Adam you have to spend half a day Saturday down at the library reading to kids I'd be like Well, fuck that. No, why would I want to ruin who the fuck wants to get dressed up? For must take them two hours to get into that shit and then go stand at the library or go down to the school and Whatever like of course, they're there to agitate. There's nothing needed to that for them I think it's more though because I think it's hard for most people to get their heads into this But I mean there is a bit of a fetish around it isn't it? Yeah, you'd have to have a fetish to wants to do that Yes, you would like I Get the part where you're attracted to your own sex or you're having some kind of gender dysphoria bullshit Which is probably I don't way less than the amount of people, you know every third Celebrities kid is transition. That's a no statistically impossible, but I kind of get that part But the part where you just want to dress up like a woman and mints about in front of kids Mm-hmm is a weird and be yeah, we're getting into a fetish here, and so People would naturally push back against that which is what they want So when you do push back then they make a big deal out of it, right? So you go You know whatever coffee chain goes we're not flying the gay flag We're not flying the Argentinian flag either we're not flying any flag Just come in get your coffee and leave and then the gays go you're not flying the gay flag and they go no because we serve coffee So it's got nothing to do with sucking off dudes. It's coffee and they go. Oh, yeah, well now you got a problem Okay, why cuz they want to agitate their pains in the ass. They'll never be satisfied How does that contribute to the death or the demise of a city or a country the gay flag the progressives never You know, well, they're not because they're not really here to get anything done They're here to argue about everything. So LA is run by a bunch of dumb shit checks who just argue about everything and nothing ever happens So dumb shit checks that leads us to the next one, which is the Philosophy of Gino Fascism. Yes, which sounds pretty mad. Yeah, what is that? Well women are a lot different than men. Yeah men are biologically into things stuff And women are into people and feelings and emotions by Biologically, which makes sense you can see it if you have kids and your wife acts a certain way And so guys are into like Risk, you know guys are like let's get that kid that dirt bike and let's get him into moms like no No, he's gonna hurt himself and then the dad's like he's got to learn to rhyme. He's got to learn to you know You know, there's danger. There's whatever if you get Too many women in positions of power and something like COVID comes along Well then the answer is shut the beaches shut the schools shut everything you stay at home And if we catch you walk around without a mask, we're gonna We're gonna rest you and so that's a feminine thought My thought which is a masculine thought is I don't have any business telling you what to do And if you want to endanger your own stuff go go do it But by the way, I can't see why going to the beach would be dangerous But also they house I have a Sort of gene that if you defy them they get really Nasty about it so you get really angry which is um in charge on the governor I'm the mayor whatever I'm calling the shots and if you screw with me I'm gonna mess you up and so there was a lot of that now I've just realized that we went this year exactly one year from 36,000 to 72,000 followers on Spotify So we've exactly doubled the number of followers and there are fifth or sixth year I think so Suddenly we're kind of taking off and I owe a lot of Gratitude I owe you gratitude just one say that I don't know but the gratitude is owed and I hope it is received by you Please just hit that follow if you haven't already apparently it makes a huge difference It's just a little click click the follow on heretics on Spotify and I'll see you next time There's a balance and the balance is the same one you'd want at home Which is just well wife treats does certain things for the kids that are good and then I bring something else to the table But in cities like LA the balance is way off and there's got way too many women making way too many decisions and their decisions are safety and feelings kind of based and so we don't Get stuff built, you know like I'll give you a I'll give you a good example of like kind of fact Shism and chip think while we're at it, okay The mayor of Oakland which Oakland California used to be a normal place and then it's just gone to shit It's a mess. It's a hellhole now In and out burger They've only moved one location and their entire Franchise history since 1948 and that's they moved out of Oakland Because the crime was too much so at this this franchise that has been around for you know 75 years plus Who does nothing but open franchises everywhere and everyone loves in an out burger Literally had to leave Oakland and so did their baseball team and They're losing sports franchises. It's it's a shit hole. Yeah somebody At the park put hoops up rope hoops he hung them from the tree To exercise with by hanging them and that and it was a black fella who exercise at the park Somebody saw the hoops hanging from the tree and decided it may be a news By the way to the left every circle that's closed is a potential news like a car tire could be a news An oh could be a news These lights could be potential news because there's a circle yeah a wedding ring Could be a new yeah That watch once you once you put the hashtag could be a news don't get fooled into everything everything if there's a rope hanging from a garage door to pull the garage door down. It's got a hoop on the end of it Potential news so somebody reports it And then the black guy comes in who made the thing who uses them for exercise? Of course she had to then cut them down He said I put him up and I use them to exercise and then The the mayor of the city that's falling apart Said I'm still gonna get the FBI to investigate as a hate crime And somebody told her there's footage of it online with the somebody reporter said well I think we have context now So you got your answer. So why are you still moving forward with this as a hate crime? And she said I don't care about context wow Right that's chick think right there. Yes, and that's why Oakland's a dumb It's so it's so interesting because like I grew up and you watch the comedians when you're a kid all the comedians Men are like this and the women they do this thing and you sort of think well probably not really though And you still think that I think when you're like 18 you still think no not really of course not everyone's the same all of blank slate And I wonder if that's why people move away from progressivism is when they start to actually have real relationships Because every woman I've ever dated is a bit more that way They're all different of course, and I don't you know generalized, but they're really my wife's always like safety foot It's always like she's we're driving at like 10 miles an hour and she's like stop stop. We're gonna die right safety Uber Alice is what we do here in like California is the say you know everything so Safety creates regulation and regulation stifles everything so the reason we get no building is we have so many codes that no one can comply. So thus we have no building. And then the same politicians go, what's going on? We need housing. So when we can't have housing because it costs twice as much to build a house here because of all your regulation and all the regulation is under the guise of safety. All all the regulatory stuff is all safety. So we get crushed by COVID because of safety. None of it needed to happen. I mean Gavin Newsom shut down the beaches. And then they arrested a guy who was in the bay alone paddle boarding because there was a safety issue evidently. Now of course going to the beach was the best thing you could do during COVID, vitamin D and sunshine and exercise and all that kind of stuff. But safety is stifling. And the more women you have in charge, the more safety, the more regulation and the more the economy sort of grinds to a halt because it's just it's too much. Like for instance, people people don't really know this, but I you know, I used to be a builder. So I understand all the codes and the safety and stuff like that. I wanted to put solar in a house I built many years ago or refurbish many years ago. And we have a rule in Los Angeles or California that there needs to be a master shut off switch for the solar. They everywhere else they just put it on the panel. And if there's an issue or fire or something, the fire department can come and sort of see the master shut off and shut it off. In LA, we have a code. And the code is that master shut off switch needs to be outside of the property. So meaning if you have a gate and a long driveway and the electrical panels on the house, you can't just put it there. You need to run it all the way outside the gate. And I was like, well, I got a long driveway and that's 200 feet of trenching and running of conduit. And then putting, I think it's going to cost $50,000 to put it on the outside of the gate, you know. So then I'm like, well, fuck it. I'm not doing solar. So they're right. I wanted solar. They want me to get solar. I want to give money to the solar company. But I just scrapped the whole thing because they have a stupid regulation that they don't do in any other municipality because it's unnecessary. The kind of fascism thing is something I thought about as well. And there's also the kind of misguided empathy as you get more women. Oh, yes. More, more immigrants come to the country and bring these people in welfare refugees. That's right. Take care of the only thing though that I tried to think that through. And then I thought, well, hang on, because I thought this is leading us towards, as you say, fascism or kind of authoritarianism. But then I thought if you look back at the authoritarian regimes, women didn't really have the vote back then, like the Stasi and Bolsheviks and all those kinds of things. So I guess even just with men, we might lead towards authoritarianism. Yeah. We can pull it off too. I don't, I think the men do it sort of volitionally. I don't, I think women don't do it volitionally. I mean, men just go, look, I'm an authoritarian and I want to make me and my friends rich and you guys can all starve and die. Women are like, we need to help the good people from whatever Middle Eastern shithole they're living in and we need to welcome them in, you know, like they have these kind of weird things like nobody's illegal and walls don't keep people out. They keep people in and they have a lot of like sort of retarded sayings that don't make any sense. But they, they do in a kind of welcoming way. And then at some point they get stabbed, you know, but, the, the, the heart is kind of in the right place. Like it's a real kind of save you from yourself kind of situation. Like I feel like I'm saying to these people, I know you think I'm bad and mean. I'm actually trying to prevent you from ruining your city. Yeah. Which you've already begun ending up in a book or something. Right. Yes, you can end up in a burger. Yeah. That's right. And say that happy. And also whether we're like gays for Palestine. Like Christ. Okay. Good luck. This is I would, I started a group called the two by fours for termites, which is, we probably didn't even know what a two by four is it kind of call a thing? Sorry. Oh, it applies to a thing of woods. It's a two by four for, because I think they called that as well on the four by fours. A car, isn't it? Well, what are they? What do they call a two by four? Probably that. I'm just, I've just never done any DIY. Plank of woods. How many square feet you live in? Oh, no, this again. We talked for half an hour before the show about the square feet and what my father-in-law asks, you don't know what a two by four is. Wow. That is a piece of new life. He said, wood, isn't it? Yes. Is it? Is that it? Yeah. Yeah. You would know. He's Polish. Yes. He should know. Paul's no word. Yeah. Paul is the Polish truck. Is it, is that what it is? Yeah. Yeah. Well, I said from the start, you said it's a car. You thought it was a car. Two by four for termites. What is it? Oh, it's like taking, it's like taking wood and saying we need to defend termites, which is basically like saying queers for Palestine, like they want to eat you. Yeah. You understand? You're not. I know you think this sounds progressive, but they will kill you. Yeah. Well, I think they actually will eventually, unfortunately. Yeah. We'll have to get out of the country or something, in Britain at least. What about California being the hot blonde that never had to study? We got by on our looks for a long time, which is we had the ocean and we had the hills and we had the weather and you know, we have the topography that is super attractive. So we didn't have to do much to encourage people to come here because we were sort of a hot blonde. You know, we didn't, we attracted men. We didn't even have to have a personality or sense of humor cook or make money or anything. People just came to the hot blonde, you know, but you know, we're getting older now and we're getting crow's feet and wrinkles and gray hair and we're not that attractive anymore. People aren't coming here anymore. We basically had a hot blonde and she had a good run, but she never got her degree and she drank too much and now she's old and fat and no one wants to fuck her basically is what has happened. And so now people are leaving the hot blonde and going to places, you know, like Nashville, Tennessee and stuff, you know, I've lived here my whole life. If someone, it was unthinkable that someone would move to Montana or Idaho or Tennessee, unthinkable Austin, they go to Austin, going to Austin. Who would go to Austin? What it feels like to me is that progressives have fucked up this city and state and then they just want to move to the next place. That's nice because it didn't have progressives in it and now they're going to go and fuck that up. Yeah, that's, that's what, that's what they do. It's so frustrating. Yeah, I know, it's like they literally just ruined their own city and then they decide they should move somewhere else that's more hospitable and then they just bring their politics and they just begin the process of ruining that city, which is a super narcissistic way to go through life, you know what I mean? If you think about it, because you should actually kind of pump the brakes and go, maybe some of these policies aren't great, things how we just fled the city that implemented all those policies. Do you know, do you know the anywhere versus somewhere people that are in theory? This is like a David Goodhart kind of and I really like it as it sort of describes what seems to be how it's that liberal league would be the kind of anywhere people, although I'm probably one of them as well. So growing up middle class, I don't really like and live in Argentina. I can live in America, move around languages and all those kinds of things. I had access to that. And then the somewhere people are people of an actual place. So they're from, you know, they live on a street. They probably live on that street the whole lives. So when the kind of anywhere people who are in charge make a decision, like we're going to let a lot of immigration and then they say, oh, it's fine. I haven't seen any differences because they live in this really nice place and they move around. The guy who just lives on that street the whole life is like, my whole, I used to be able to go out and leave my door open. Right. You know, I think that that kind of explains what, what seems to be happening. These people who are anywhere people, they can just, oh, I'll just ruin this city and head off to Nashville. I don't care. It's the people who are the somewhere people who are of the city that screwed that's a theology that I would subscribe to myself. Yes. And also, I mean, there's an element of a lot of the people who are making a lot of these policies live in very nice parts of the city that are safe. And so it's easy for them to, they don't take public transportation for instance. So it's, you can enact these policies because they really don't affect you feel like politicians should be forced to go on public transport and those kinds of things to see the differences they're making. I completely agree. I mean, the public transportation is sort of the yardstick you kind of measure up society. You know, if the public transportation is safe and clean and orderly, there's a pretty good chance. the society is safe and clean and orderly. And so if you really want to sample a city, use public transportation. And as a politician, you should constantly have your finger on that pulse. And no, because it's when the SUV with the tinted windows picks you up and you just sit in the back in the air conditioning and tweet on your phone, that is not taking the bus to the subway, you know, and I agree with that. You should be forced to do it. Have you had friends where you were growing up in the comedy industry and out in here in LA and Hollywood? Do you have some friends who did go totally that kind of liberal elite way? Yeah, a lot of them. How did that sort of happen? How did, what was the experience show business go the liberal elite way? Yeah, did you start falling out with people like, how was it for you? Well, in Hollywood, you're making a business decision. It's an important business decision to go liberal, because you will be blackballed and unhierable. So the thing about Hollywood is it's pretty people are replaceable at every level. The actors are, the writers are. It's a job a lot of people can do and only a few people get paid to do. But you're really interchangeable and everyone kind of knows that and they don't really say it out loud. But if you think about any movie franchise, you know, most or many of the big movie franchises, they go, you know, Indiana Jones, that was supposed to be Tom Selleck, but he had to do season five of, you know, Pete Magnum PI. So they got Harrison Ford to do it. So you can swap anybody out for anybody and it works that way in the writer's room. You know, there's the writer's room in a sitcom or late night show might have 15 people in it. It's all politics. It's only there because they're like, you walk in with a mega hat. So they know that and everyone's semi mediocre mode. I mean, there's a handful of really talented people. Everyone else is just in the middle. Every writer's room I've been in that has 16 writers. You only need three of them. The 13 are worthless and can be swapped out with anybody. And that's what they do. And they make rules. They go like, you need, you know, you need two women and two black and two Hispanic and they go, yeah, go ahead, sit down. And they just sit out. They don't do anything. And the other three guys just write all the, all the stuff. That's how that's how the business works. And how many conservatives hold Republicans? They're always zero. So so people understand that they're totally replaceable. They're they're probably mediocre and they're being way over compensated for whatever it is they're they're doing. That being understood, now we get into the popularity part and now we get into the kind of high school part of it. Do you want to get on the wrong side of the people that are making the decisions about who's coming to that writers room by telling them you voted for Trump? And the answer is you definitely don't want to do that. So you have you have a couple of groups. You have this now. So here's here's the other part of it. Let's just get rid of politics. Let's just say you found out the guy who runs the company is vegan. You might say, well, that's his business because I'm eating a ham sandwich tomorrow. I'm bringing it to work. Someone might tap you on the show and go, I don't I don't know if that's a good idea. He sees he's not sandwich. That's how all Hollywood is because I'm a vegetarian. I didn't give a shit what anyone else eats. Right. But you're your vegetarian who is on the right side of the aisle. Like you're a vegetarian. But you're vegetarian, but you're lean conservative. Now I lean conservative. So it's not my business tell anyone what to do about COVID, but I'm not a lefty. A lefty is I'm a lefty and it's my business to tell you everything about veganism or COVID or anything else. What I'm saying is vegetarian. I'm going to scream. The point is that the point is that I'll put it to you. Let's say the person that runs this company is a woman and she's vegan. You start walking in with that ham sandwich and eventually it's going to be like, why was it invited to the Christmas parties? That's an all-to-food Christmas. In other words, she doesn't like you because you're eating a ham sandwich and you would go, what difference does it make? I'm pretty good at working at this place and it's like, you don't get it. She's vegan. We call that Islam issue now as well. Right. She doesn't like what you're doing. You don't like what you're doing. So that's how Hollywood works. So there are progressives. Now you want to get ahead in that company? Don't just not bring the ham sandwich. Show up with your Toeferky burger and tell that bitch, guess who else is vegan? And she'll go, really? And they go, oh, and then they go, what's you sitting out of my office and eat your Toeferky burger here? That's how Hollywood works. So you have people that are left as and then you have all the other preening liars who are just signaling all the time. They're signaling. And then you have the Moranos, the quiet people that are like, people come up on the Sun. Hey, listen, I agree with you, but don't, don't out me. Does that happen here? Oh, yeah. For sure. Yeah. I have, well, I haven't had friends do it. I have people on sets do it to me. Mostly camera guys, like guys who work, they still come up. I agree with you, but I don't want it. I don't know if people find out. That's not vegan. That points to this kind of, I mean, you grew up working classes, right? And it points to a kind of, they don't understand. Well, sort of. I mean, people in my family didn't really work, but I give what you mean when it's working just class class. Yeah, I wish they worked a little more. Yeah. Well, does it, but it points to what I think you've been saying, which is that they don't seem to understand ordinary people. No, they have some sort of pie in the sky. I mean, I have to say this, I don't know what a two by four is. They don't know the square footage at home. They don't need the the green export of the country that come from. I mean, it's a disaster. You should be vegetarian. I could keep going. We spoke about, I get squeamish about animals. That's it. I've always been a bit squeamish about putting like a dead animal in my mouth. Yeah, you must get like, you wouldn't, maybe you wouldn't eat a cockroach, or would you? Not on purpose. Would be a bit gross a bit. I would, well, I mean, listen, if I went to Thailand and they've cooking cockroaches, I'm like, try one. Yeah, no, I wouldn't, I wouldn't intentionally eat it. Good on me though. You've got, you've got a stronger disposition than I have. I don't know. I'm with you. I can't fish, like, like when people go, we got a fish and they go, how do you bait and they go, you take the minnow and you put the hook through its eye and then you throw it. I'm like, yeah, I couldn't do that. Yeah, I'm squeamish that way as well. I don't hunt, I don't fish, but I'm, but I'm also a hypocrite because I'll eat a cow. That's, that's the thing. I know, it, you know, we've all got off things, don't we? You spoke before about being a bit more conservative or whatever it might be and that might be the sort of resistance or things like gynefascism. We had in the UK a conservative government for 14 years and they brought in more immigrants and mess up the country more than the entire history of the country. Really? Yeah, they would probably call it the Boris wave, Boris Johnson's Conservative Prime Minister. He brought in, you know, 1.3 million people came in one year. We've got only 50 million in the country. It's a huge number, mostly from places like Pakistan and Iran because you can't turn that back. Right. So I sort of feel, I don't know what, what I'm asking about. I feel quite defeated. So I feel like no matter who is in charge, this is the way we're heading. Yeah. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's a problem, especially, I mean, look, you, you have a fundamental issue. People are leaving their culture and their state and their nation because it's failed. I mean, you have your first things first, why are you leaving? I mean, it's the same thing. It's like why are you leaving Los Angeles? Well, you screwed it up. And now you're moving to Austin and now you're going to screw up Austin, which is a microcosm of this bigger problem, which is you're coming from a place that's a dump because you guys ruined it because whatever your culture dictates that, that destroyed it and then you're exporting your thing to England or Germany or wherever else and you've brought all these cultural foibles and you're now slowly dismantling this place with your horrible culture and people don't want to talk about it because it seems racist but unless you talk about it then there is a place called Somalia it's a dump and now Minneapolis is going to become a dump as well because too many people who created the dump in Somalia are now inhabiting Minneapolis which is a I don't know you know it's like I tell people all the time if you take carpenter ants and you just move them from one place to another they'll just do what they did over there because that's kind of what they do you know that's if you took beavers and put them at the top of the Empire State Building they'd start looking for wood and then you'd go what you need wood for building a dam yeah look at the view why you build a dam that's that's what we do yeah people's cultures are sort of ingrained that's they're just they're going to eat what they eat they're going to play the music they're going to play and they're going to do all the good stuff and all the bad stuff their culture has to offer except for we know there's more bad stuff because you ruined your place of origin well they know that as well I mean I lived in many years in Argentina and Colombia for some one year though as well and they will always say to one another as a sort of joke like I wouldn't it been good if the British had invaded us rather than the Spanish would be like Australia now right they know that you know yes well they there's got to be a part of the nose it because they want to come to these places and use all the accoutrements that we've built essentially good work that's a good way French yeah my audience just went on better yeah guys use that in a sentence today accoutrements accoutrements yeah yeah I like that what does it mean to have to earn our sanity I think you're saying that we were talking about these oh what I'm so what I'm saying is is grub hub and you know all online porn and all the stuff all the the ease of modern culture and society like you know you plug your car in and you turn the thermostat down and you don't have to go chop wood or you know hunt and kill and cook and all that or harvest your own fields and stuff like that it's all it's all it all comes to us now you know everything I mean everything's on the TV everything's everything's air condition people don't know what to buy for us sadly so when I'm when I'm sort of saying to people is is everyone's going insane because of this and and what I'm basically saying to people is you need to go you need ordinary misery in your life you need to go wash your car yourself not take it to the car wash you need to cook your meals not call grub hub to come you need to do projects you need to have hobbies you know I I changed the garbage disposal at my studio yesterday and I was and by the way I told these guys who all work with me who are all young men who are completely worthless they don't know what any they don't know what tools are they don't know what to do I mean you could say to them go the back of the shop and get the pliers or something they just go I don't know what it was I said go the backs on the bench in the back like what do you mean like I they don't know anything they know what a bench is I was questioned by the way you know what I do when people go what's a bench I go oh it's a flat thing we're just get back there get the fucking tools what you shut up I'm not going to answer every one of your retarded questions by the way then they ask a lot of questions which just sort of buys them time you know they're not really they don't really not know what stuff is they think it's a good idea to ask questions all the time here's the deal the garbage disposal that's the thingy that goes under the sink yeah takes all the coffee grounds yeah it was bad at my at my studio I own the building for a while and I just hadn't used it that much wasn't that big a deal but I just ordered one and it's been like sitting in the box for like two months and I just had a little time yesterday and I just said to the kids who don't know anything I go I'm gonna swap this garbage disposal out I'm gonna do it under 20 minutes I'm gonna take this whole thing out put this new one in it's gonna work and I said 15 to 20 minutes I think go ahead and tie me and I'm not a plumber but I know how to do everything so I swapped it out I screwed something up had to undo a thing and redo it didn't put the gasket in and whatever but it took 18 minutes and I did it and it kind of felt good like I didn't call a plumber I didn't get the task rabbit guy into there whatever and it is when you do a lot of basic tactile things we could be really basic stuff like I said simple wash your own car make your own meals kind of thing have a little project you're gonna take on put a garbage disposal in or whatever all these things keep you sane when you start outsourcing everything which everyone does now just call the guy get the guy to come do this to bring the food fix the stuff do what there's a mobile detailer the guy'll come to your house with a van he'll detail your I go just it's Saturday the sunshine just go wash your own car I go why I don't want to get the met it's like we've outsourced too much and that's why we've gone insane women have gone insane they're like throwing down at every airport they're going insane so it used to be real basic stuff that just kept you sane like you'd have to walk to the well you'd have to milk the cow you'd have to harvest the eggs you have to make the fire and cook the food for everybody you winter was coming you have to salt the way the meats in the pemican or whatever that's all gone now everyone's just sitting around and they're taking prescription meds because they're not right they're not feeling right because they're not doing anything so then they get involved with the pharmaceuticals and then you know it says that I'm depressed I don't feel rudderless you know we'll take these now we're medicating and we're still not doing anything and we're sitting around and we're going insane it's amazing how close everything you just said is to brave new world out of successfully which he wrote I don't know when it was 20s 30s 40s one of those decades and that's what that is it's just the future as opposed to all wells which was government was going to be all over you and that was the authoritarian end this was we're just going to have everything done for us we're going to lie there like in Wally we're going to take drugs this one this drug called Soma that's kind of the end of us that's how we yeah that's what's happening I think it's a mix of his and all wells which so we got the authoritarian overreach happening from the government that's all well and then us just sitting there yes it's they're both coming to fruition did you ever watch King of the Hill yes because that's what that I've been rewatching all of that the series the cartoon yeah yeah I've been rewatching all of that and it's it's a very American kind of can do and they'll sit around the what you described about give me 20 minutes I'm gonna redo this that's how they are and they seem it's pretty happy everybody I know who's on their feet and working and in the industry where they're building and fabricating and turning the wrenches and stuff they're always the same they're not clicking their heels together happy they're never depressed or morose they're just consistent and COVID came and it didn't bother any of them one bit they never brought it up to me I have a group of white collar sort of show busy people and then I have a group of blue collar dudes who I build my cars with and build my houses with blue collar guys completely unaffected by COVID never brought it up shook their hand never got the Purell out never put the mask on as if it didn't it wasn't happening though the the Hollywood types they took over their lives that's crazy but the blue collar guys they couldn't you know they go out and go for a run or go down to the you know they couldn't go out and do things they you know it's weird is blue collar guys as long as they can do their blue collar work they're good they don't go for runs they're they work eight hours a day on their feet moving turn in wrenches and moving two by fours and stuff that's the run that's that they do for exercise they sweat all day see that's king of the hill that's what they do I've been really enjoying it I'm like gosh I need to figure out I should start doing home things yeah I'm not gonna do it now we're gonna have more more gyno fascism because I think more women are getting involved in that stuff we're gonna have more AI doing people's jobs for them so you're gonna be sitting around and all that it's gonna be more globalization more people moving around yeah what are we just fucks yeah well we're gonna segregate and we're gonna be safe spaces and octagons and we're just gonna have to go the octagon and live with the people like guns and water skiing and freedom and building and then there's going to be the crumbling safe spaces people and they're just going to get fat. They can't build anything. Are you worried? No. I mean, I'm not. You're still going to be in charge. You're in charge of your own sanity. Like, no, I'm not worried. There's a bunch of people that are going to suffer because they brought it upon themselves and that's their decision. When you look at, do you hear much about Britain and what's going on over in Europe? Yes. You're worried about that. I don't like the idea that I can't go to Britain and see a beef eater out there and guarding the pound. I like the version of it that is from my childhood and so I'm inclined like not to want to go there as much and I kind of feel the same way about Paris, you know, and many other places like sadly in Europe. But I would go, but if I came to LA, I wouldn't go to Hollywood or downtown, you know what I mean? I'd go to Santa Barbara and if I came to Britain, I'd go to Chichester and I'd go do the goodwood automotive events over there and then I'd be with all the people. I like to be with in a safe, clean place because that's where those people are and I wouldn't go to London and deal with the Middle East or folk. You see? So we're going to self-segregate. Right. Yeah. Somebody was telling me, there's a professor of civil war studies and he was saying that's kind of how it would happen. There's a highway that goes around London with the M25 and that will be kind of the point where there's a civil war between like the urban mellons. Yeah, and eventually the only problem is is those people are going to need the help of the builders who don't want to be in their system and they're going to have an issue because they can't build or create or do anything differently. I've bought a house that's just inside the M25. So I'm like, perhaps I was talking to this guy and he was like, are you sure that's where you draw the line? He's like, that's where the line's going to be like, you'll be fine. That's the end of it. Is there a version of California that can come back? Yeah. If they stop voting for all these nut jobs, but they won't, that's what they like it. It's like a cult, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. It's a cult. They like it. What would you tell a 25 year old in California or Britain who's thinking, gosh, do I have to leave? Yeah, I would say just leave. But because here's the good news. Well, I don't really, I'm not affected by it. I'm not looking to buy my first home, you know what I mean? I'm not looking to be gainfully employed. You know, I have my own world that is fine with me, but I am looking to leave. But I would say, look, in the past, I don't know what was going on in Texas and I don't know what was going on in Tennessee and I don't know what was going on in Wyoming. But I know now it's got a Starbucks and a top golf and a PF Changs. Let's go wherever you want. Not fair enough.
