Ron Work Story, Crypto Self Custody

Alright, welcome to the Canary in the Cage podcast on Ron Morgan, my co-host Dave Havlicek.

We're here to entertain you, educate you, educate you, and hopefully make you laugh.

So what the hell's going on in the world today?

Lots of things.

So Dave, I got a question.

Are you willing to learn to speak Spanish?

I know it'll work specifically Mexican.

I already know a little Spanish, he's right over there.

No, I took Spanish in high school and I remember a little lot of it.

I mean, you're going to have to be fluent though.

So I can read it very well.

But I can't speak it because they speak so fucking fast.

Yeah, they can talk fast.

They don't read it.

They don't read it.

What?

I can't speak that fast in English.

So my question is, are you willing to learn to be fluent or are you going to move?

No.

Well, why do I move?

Oh, you didn't hear?

No.

So now Mexico wants all the land back.

Oh, okay.

They want to go back to the early 1800s map.

Okay.

Where they own like California, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona.

They said they want to take it back by force.

Okay.

Well, Trump's anti-war.

I, well, he doesn't have to fight that war.

We don't need him.

Oh, we're going to do it ourselves.

We don't need ourselves.

We have the Bundys.

Yeah, yeah.

We got the Bundys.

Yeah, but I mean with all the riots going on and the Marines and LA,

I mean, they're going to be all over the place.

Do we have enough military left?

You don't need a military.

This is the fucking like the whole thing that the people don't understand is

you don't need a military to defend your homeland.

You need a military to go attack other people.

Right?

Like, I mean, you bring up all the time the Revolutionary War, the people in the hills.

Yeah.

Right?

They weren't a military.

And in fact, the military is getting their asses stomped

because they kept using these old style tactics

where everything has to be fair, right?

And you wind up on the battlefield and you fight fair.

No, no, you fucking.

You're tied by the trees and snipe their asses.

That's what the hillbillies did.

Yeah.

That's how you fucking win a war, a defensive war.

Yeah.

That's how Iraq, that's why we can't defeat Iraq or Afghanistan or Vietnam or any of these.

Like these tiny little countries with no resources, we can't beat them.

Yeah, because actually, you know, in Afghanistan, when Russia was attacking them back in the

like late 80s, early 90s, they would run up and jump on the tank and open up the hatches or grenade in.

Yeah.

And they scram all the guys.

Of course.

Yeah.

So yeah, I guess that's valid.

Did you know Afghanistan was only conquered once?

Really?

Yeah.

There's some badass bullfuckers over there.

You know who conquered it?

Zimbabwe?

Genghis Khan.

No shit.

Genghis Khan.

I've heard of him.

Oh, I guess we should just jump right into the right.

Is that fake ass right?

There you go.

See, yeah, this really gets me because like the ship they're riding about allegedly,

I agree with, right?

Like the ice sucks, the cops suck.

I want no border patrol, right?

But why are you bombing cars and private properties?

Well, that's right.

You're like everybody goes anywhere.

Why aren't you bombing ice facilities?

Why aren't you bombing the FBI headquarters?

So don't do that.

I'm not saying you should do that.

I'm saying why aren't you doing that?

You know, it's all fake.

So it's all fake.

It is a fake right because who's missing or what's missing otherwise?

Well, not pallets of bricks apparently.

I think those showed up.

Right. But there's something very obviously missing.

Black people.

Oh, God, I'm not touching that one.

No, I'm not.

Those motherfuckers know how to throw a party.

I mean, I saw one video with one black guy.

I mean, he was looting the I to sort of the Apple store.

Apple store.

And he ain't grabbed a bunch of shit and looked around and saw all white people went,

Oh, fuck, I gotta get out of here.

Cops drove.

They're going to shoot me.

Good job, brother.

Get the fuck out of there.

No, even the black people are like, what the fuck's going on here?

We don't want this shit.

I was watching some YouTube channel and like they were they were covering the riots and there

were like people waving Mexican flags and then and like what else and they were like,

you know, burning the American flag and she like that.

And the guy in the YouTube was like, why do you come here and wave the Mexican flag and then burn

dude, those aren't the immigrants doing that.

Those are the fucking purple hair.

Communist people that were born here and hate America and hate everything about America and

think America only exists because of slavery.

Yeah.

That's like, how do you not see that?

That's why I call the fake right.

Right.

It's fake.

It's all fake because they're being paid because they get somewhere in accent post.

All of them.

Like some of them are just for fun.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

You know, I get it.

I mean, you pay some people and the rest of the show.

But we're going to break into shit.

Yeah.

No, it's just, I mean,

when I said LA had a right that blacks weren't in it, that's the problem.

It's like when kept Mexico on it.

Yeah.

Probably in 1800s.

Yeah.

So no, it's just, I mean, I'm not criticizing because those motherfuckers know how to have a

good time and they really do.

Not that I'm for looting stores.

I mean, you know, although usually the work boots store and the book store goes untouched.

God, this is where we get banned.

I'll find like, no, I love the.

Someone else was saying we should deploy the rooftop Koreans.

Oh, yeah.

But, but like, they're the ones being kicked out of the country by ice.

So like, sorry, rooftop Koreans, you're gone.

Oh, Jesus, man.

Yeah, because I've been watching.

Yeah, I've been kind of obsessed on a little bit because I want, I'm trying to figure this

out.

Like who is who's paying for it?

Who's doing this?

You know, this is the Soros cabal or.

Yeah, I mean, I mean, Soros for sure.

But I mean, but here's the thing.

We are with through through USA.

So you had the delivery of all those like the face mask and they're like military grade.

Yeah.

Well, they say one of ourselves.

Those what does that mean military grade face mask?

Not the mask like this, but like the shields, like a like a mini helmet almost.

Okay.

And apparently the daughter of Sam Walton.

Okay.

She's anti-American or she's not really happy with this.

So they're saying that she might be funnier as well.

Probably.

Then they get a guy, a picture of a guy who is delivering these masks and he's a teamster.

Well, no, I mean, is he a team?

Is he doing it because he's a teamster?

Probably.

Or is he doing it because he's a massel?

Why not both?

Well, isn't both of those necessary?

Like, is nothing.

Well, but I mean, the teamsters, I mean, so the teamsters against Trump.

I think they are.

I mean, because of the tariffs because they're also, I believe the dock was a teamsters.

Uh, no, no, the teamsters.

Isn't teamsters only Trumpers?

No, uh, about 15 years ago, the teamsters tried to suck up the ADA.

Okay.

My wife was a delegate.

We had to go to New Orleans and she had to vote whether we joined the team.

So whether the teachers joined the team, so junior or not.

Okay.

They shot it down.

I'm pretty sure because the, the dock worker and on the East coast,

he's like threatening everybody.

I believe he was a teamster.

Remember, we talked about on the show.

He was just like, oh yeah.

Well, because the tariffs.

I remember the dock worker stuff.

I don't remember specific guys.

Oh no, they got old fat fuck.

Oh, dude, don't get mad at me.

They kill people.

I don't know what to be, Jimmy Hoffman.

Well, so apparently the riots are not expanding.

Yeah, we might be coming in Vegas.

Well, we had something Vegas last night and they did.

They had one planned for Saturday, apparently.

Well, Saturday is supposed to be a big day.

They're like, well, this is the civil war is going to start.

Oh my God.

I saw their website and like it's, it's supposedly a,

I forgot what they called it, but it was, you know,

it's dressed up like a real protest,

but they had like locations of many different cities.

Yeah.

So yeah, it's confusing because a few cities had the stars

and then other cities just had the blue dots.

Now Vegas had a blue dot where Phoenix had the star.

I don't know if it's a bigger protest there or what,

but we had a protest last night and it ended up on Fremont Street

and they actually closed Fremont Street last night.

Yeah.

So, but I mean, that's the thing.

If you want to find out who pays these motherfuckers,

it's real simple.

Go grab a few of them.

Throw them in the fucking box at the police station.

Yeah, you're not going to find out.

You're not going to do that.

The cops are going to let it go.

No, no, no, in 2020, we wouldn't do that.

It's not going to happen again.

We have a whole, a whole new world.

Not going to happen.

I don't know.

It's not going to happen.

The cops are supposed to find out.

The Trump is not in charge.

I mean, like he wishes he was, he thinks he is,

but especially cops in like the blue cities,

they're not going to, they're just going to let them go.

Catch and release.

Well, that's the thing.

Well, no, they are, no, they're, they are arresting people.

I don't know.

See, this is where I have a problem with.

I don't believe the National Guard has the right to arrest people.

No, they don't.

Well, other than like the citizens arrest, like the way we all have.

Right.

We all have that.

And I definitely know the fucking Marines don't have a citizens arrest.

So what's your, what's your opinion with the Marines coming in?

I've heard a lot of mixed stories on this and I haven't seen for myself what they're doing.

So some people are saying that they're actively arresting people and going after

people and shouldn't miss.

And then other people are saying, no, they're just standing there protecting private property.

Well, no, so I don't know what's actually happening.

The official story is they're brought in to protect federal property and federal employees.

So they can, they can protect the ICE agents and then let the ICE agents be in the church.

Even still, I don't think that's just not their job.

My problem is I just don't like the military being used to get some citizens.

It's not their job.

That's not their place.

Well, but apparently there is a legal right for them to do this.

It's a big, I hope it's not a baby stuff because I don't like this.

Which Democrat signed that into law?

No, it's the alien, alien actor.

Oh, the one that you were praising before.

Okay.

Well, no, no, we're deporting them.

That's fine.

But I don't, you know, and that's the thing.

I don't like the military.

But again, you voted for it.

You voted for this.

I didn't vote for it.

I get to feel, I get to sleep with them.

I mean, don't get me wrong.

I'm so pro what's going on.

I wish I could do it without the Marines.

But now have you heard about this Marine group that's in there?

No.

So the Marines to the best of my knowledge do not have a special forces because they're all

considered special forces.

Okay.

But Camp Pendleton in California apparently is the worst Marine boot camp or the worst camp

for Marines.

And they call these guys the war dogs.

And like one Marine was was talking, he goes, yeah, though, if you if you turn these guys

loose, this right will be over in 20 minutes.

He goes, these guys are bad asses.

Yeah, they're in the worst possible military military training center in the entire.

That's the whole that's part of the whole like fucking bullshit that they give to us.

They feed us all this bullshit.

Yeah.

You think that they're these amazing badasses that don't get like,

they went last 20 minutes and fucking Compton.

So okay, so you brought up Compton.

What do you think?

So if I would say ice is going to Compton, what would you think?

Why?

So for the rooftop Koreans that are running the grocery store or what?

So I didn't I didn't grab the video because they didn't know we're going to go this route.

But there's an Hispanic gang apparently running Compton right now.

And they're threatening the rioters.

You come here, we will kill you.

But now is it ice going to go?

Wait, what?

Did I hear say say Walmart?

No, of course not.

The ice is only going to go after like the college students that are writing anti-Israel stuff.

Because they don't they're they're they're all tough behind a badge and a gun.

But like if the other guys shooting back, they're not so tough anymore.

And so that's what they arrest college students.

Yeah, they've gotten some pretty big criminals.

Oh, speaking of the criminals they've gotten, they brought your Maryland guy back.

I saw that.

Yeah.

Where's he at now?

I don't know.

He's in Tennessee.

Okay.

Facing charges.

Okay.

For human trafficking and drug dealing.

And all the stuff they said he did, he's actually in Tennessee.

Fine.

Okay, you give him a trial.

That's what I'm saying.

That's what I'm asking.

You want to spend your taxpayer dollars on some shithead?

I don't want to spend my taxpayer dollars at all.

Yeah, you are.

If you just left the guy alone, if you never picked him up, if you never deported him,

you wouldn't have spent any tax dollars.

Yeah, you wouldn't.

Why?

The police were surveilling him.

The police were checking him out.

Why?

Why are the police spending the resources?

Because he was spending the fucking law.

So what?

He's not a danger to anybody.

Oh, I would say the women he's trafficking might be...

Okay, he's not...

Okay, when you say trafficking, and then you look at what really happened,

is that he was driving in a car with other people.

Well, with women...

So what?

Well, they're charging with trafficking.

Okay, but of course, they charge you.

They always charge you with bullshit when you did something with no victim.

They overcharge a lot.

I give you that.

But I don't know.

Tennessee's pretty happy about this.

Of course they are.

Tennessee's a shitty state.

He's got Marshall Blackburn and she's fucking nuts.

Like, what was she talking about the other day?

She's just like some stupid shit about ban some basic American right.

Like, shut the fuck up, bitch.

Like, you know what you're talking about.

No, like, stop with this drug war bullshit.

Stop saying everything's trafficking because it's fucking like...

1% of what people say is trafficking is actually what the regular guy thinks of.

I don't know, dude.

It is.

I used to think that.

I would have agreed with you a couple years ago.

Yeah, okay.

If you look at every trafficking conviction, right, actual conviction,

and you read the details of the case, what you're going to find is that 99% of the time,

there was no victim.

It's just somebody did something that by the letter of the law counted as trafficking.

It's fucking bullshit.

Well, we'll see.

It's going to go to court.

Just like...

That's fine.

But that's fine.

Like, again, like, I don't want to spend tax dollars on it.

So just leave the guy.

If he didn't hurt anybody, leave him alone.

Dude, you don't have to prosecute over drug charges.

You don't have to prosecute because he was driving in a car with other Hispanic people.

Hi.

But if there's no victim coming forward, like, I always say this, right?

There should be no cops out of the street anywhere, right?

You should only ever see a cop if somebody calls on the phone and says,

I'm a victim of a crime.

I need the cops, right?

Because they always hang out, they're cop shop, and just wait.

Yes, that's what your insurance company does, right?

You don't see insurance agents driving around looking for people speeding,

looking for people smoking.

No.

When you call them up on the phone, they have the little office building,

and they send out an agent to investigate the issue.

Why can't cops work that way?

Well, then we better free up some of the shooting people laws.

What do you mean?

Why?

Well, because it's a cop's going to take forever to get here

because they're like way over on the other side of town.

Yeah, but I'm saying, you only call them if you're already...

You're not calling them because there's a crime in progress.

Like, that's your job.

You fix that.

So I can call them...

You call them when a crime already happened and you have to go convict the guy.

So I can call them to come and get the dead body?

Yeah.

Okay, then I'm cool.

And then put the guy in jail if there's someone else that needs to be in jail.

Jail?

Well, if there's someone still around.

I shoot better than that, dude.

I'm saying if there's someone else still around.

I'll feed him to my dog.

Yeah, whatever.

You should never see a cop unless you call one for a crime.

Can you come and get these bones?

And it's not a crime, by the way.

If someone's on the sidewalk pointing a camera at you, it's not a crime.

Stop calling the cops for that, you fucking idiots.

Just a little tangent there.

Yeah.

Those videos are popping up in my feed.

Yeah, I mean fucking Karens.

They keep multiplying.

You know, I was watching one, I think last night it popped up.

And these guys walked in.

It was a...

The entrance was a courthouse, but then to the left was the entrance of the post office.

Yeah, actually no.

Yeah.

Well, so the dudes went into the courthouse, but we're in the lobby of the courthouse.

Right.

And the deputy, or the US martial apparently, came across and physically

assaulted them.

Yeah.

The dude placed him under citizen's arrest.

Nice.

Yeah, like these judges, they think that because you can control what happened to the courtroom,

that you can control the whole courthouse.

See, I have a problem with that too.

The courthouse should not be their world.

It's not.

They think it is.

I've not seen some crazy shit.

Well, they usually, I mean like, they're immune from you suing them about it,

but usually that order will be overturned by another court.

Yeah.

I've seen one where they said, you can't even be on the same block as the courthouse.

What?

With a camp.

Yeah, I've seen them do that.

It's fucking weird.

Like, with a high profile case and like there's media, but too bad.

It's a public trial, you stupid bitch.

We know we got a judge problem in this world now.

So let's take it back to California for a second.

Okay.

I think Gavin Newsom watches our show.

No.

He's finally said something that I agree with.

What did he say?

So he has threatened to shut off tax payments going to the feds from California.

Okay.

That which is exactly what I propose.

He can do that.

He can try to do it and it'll be a fun to see what happens.

Well, no, so I hope he wins.

So what'll happen to the feds will just shut off the speaker coming back to him though.

Right, but it won't be, it won't matter because he has.

So because he's a big state with a big public, he would have a net gain over that.

This is the only, the only reason I don't want California being the first one to do it

is because they are a drain on society and like they will fail and then everybody will

look and say, oh, see what we can't do that because they're going to fail.

No.

So if you look at the money that California gives the federal government, I would think

it would be more than any other state.

Yes, but they pulled more back out.

They pulled way more back out.

Oh, okay.

Because they're not the biggest state.

California is in debt.

Like they are in fuckload to that.

Well, no, they weren't in debt when after COVID because they, because Newsom got the

COVID check from Biden and they had a surplus and Newsom right about it.

That was only for one year.

But they're in...

He's read all this shit.

But they're still in deep debt.

Yeah.

So like, yeah, if California left, they'd be fucked.

But hey, I believe everyone should be able to leave.

I don't give a, if you're fucked or not, it doesn't matter.

Hey, as long as we put that border fence up.

So Gavin, give us a call.

I'll walk you through exactly how you can get away with this.

So he is, he's got his own podcast.

Oh, there you go.

He's going to other podcasts.

Yeah.

Let's get him on.

And all the right wing podcasts, like do not talk to Newsom.

Don't let him on your show.

Why?

Because you're going to give him air.

And I'm like, Adam Cruller...

Let him talk.

So well, Adam Cruller had him on his podcast.

Maybe he'll learn something.

Well, no, Adam Cruller, it was years ago when Adam Cruller did it.

And it was about like voter ID and something.

And Adam Cruller just destroyed it.

It's hysterical.

Well, yeah, he's not that smart.

Obviously he didn't come up with this idea by himself.

You got it from us or from you?

Right.

It's right.

All right.

So like I said, give me a call.

I will put you on the show and we'll go over this tax plan.

Because I think you should do it.

I don't think he would come out too well on that.

I think he would.

Well, I think he would have enough backing that they would get away with it.

Now again, because they're in deep debt, if they keep running the state they way they are,

they're going to fail.

But hey, that's...

Well, you know why this fake riot is going on, right?

I mean...

There was a lot of reasons.

Well, no, there's a main reason.

There's one main reason.

So you make Trump do something stupid, which is going like he's reacting?

No, I mean, he's troubling me.

I mean, so the media is like...

He's bringing up the military.

Like what the fuck are you doing, guys?

Stop overreacting.

When he called the National Guard in, they're like, it's a peaceful protest.

And he's like, nope, no, it's not.

There's shit being burned.

So the violence started before he called the National Guard in.

And that's the National Guard's job is to come in unrighted.

The Marines...

But no, it's...

If we were to remove all illegal immigrants out of California, which is a malty task,

the congressional seats, the electoral college votes, they would lose a ton.

Right.

Because in our senses...

Senses?

Senses.

Senses.

Yeah.

Senses.

Just seem weird.

Are you trying to say the plural of senses?

Oh yeah, in our senses.

Senses, yeah.

Senses.

Senses.

Since I...

Yeah, don't make me say that again.

We count in illegals.

Yeah.

Because a person is a person.

Right.

So California benefits greatly from illegal...

Probably.

Well, so okay, I was thinking about this the other day, and someone was complaining about that.

And I said, well, instead of bitching about it, why don't the red states just offer

incentives to illegals and do the same thing?

Right?

Now we will have more people.

So, I don't know if I've brought that video, but I don't think I did.

This pisses me off about these fucking liberals.

I'm assuming they're all liberals.

They kind of think I'm a conservative too, because there's a bunch of shithead conservatives.

They're like, like what guy in the inside, oh my guys won't show up to work now.

Yeah.

Because I used to sit down.

How am I going to do my job?

How am I going to make money for my company?

Well, shithead, stop paying and say fucking labor.

Here's the problem.

You pay the market rates.

No, they don't.

Yes, they do.

No, they don't.

Yes, they do.

Dude, we...

The fact that they're paying it means that it's the market rates.

They don't decide prices.

The market decides prices.

So, if you underpay illegally...

There's no such thing as underpay.

You pay what you pay.

You pay the market price.

You know, there's a green card for farm hands.

Okay.

You mean there's socialism for farm hands?

Probably.

You can underpay them to come and pick your strawberries, your cherries.

You can underpay regular farm workers.

You can have your children work on a farm and underpay them.

But the Americans wouldn't put up with it.

What do you mean by see like again, what does put up?

Like you put up with it by going to the grocery store and buying those produce goods.

No, what I'm saying is...

So, in the construction field, because that's what I know.

Yeah.

I got into the construction field in the 90s and that's where I lived in La Shudda.

Yeah.

So, when my son went to get into the...

He was going to do construction work for a while.

He couldn't get a job because he didn't...

He could not work for the wage that they were paying.

Right.

Because so we're losing critical skills due to the fact that you start as a laborer and

you can work your way out.

But you don't need...

We don't need Americans to have a specific set of skills.

As long as somebody has those skills.

Right?

If we still need that product, someone needs that skill.

Why does it have to be an American?

It should be because it's...

No, it shouldn't.

There's no should.

Again, with the should.

There is...

Stop using that word.

There is no should.

Okay, I'll make it a little more.

There is...

I'm willing to pay this much for a house and you're willing to sell that house to me at

that price.

That's all there is.

And if you have to hire a different speaking language person to do that, then that's what

you got to do.

If you pay them a decent wage, I'm actually okay with that.

There's no such thing as...

Again, with the decent.

Like you're making...

You're bringing opinions into this.

There's no opinions.

There's how much I'm willing to pay.

There's how much you're willing to sell for.

That's all there is.

Yeah, I...

No.

Yes!

Yes, that's all.

I've brought this up numerous times.

We are abusing our illegals.

There's again, there's no such thing as abusing.

Have you heard of being paid?

This is your opinion.

Have you heard of being paid?

Why do they keep coming here?

Trying to ask your question.

Have you heard of being paid in farm dollars?

I don't care.

So you can always...

Why do they keep coming here and choosing to do that?

It's still better than living in a store.

That's the point of not being abused then.

They're being treated better.

If you're paid in farm dollars, which means you gotta pay your rent to the farmer in farm dollars.

You can only shop at the store.

So what?

This is how like little cowboys worked for 100 years in America,

and we glorify them and make movies about them.

Why is this bad?

I...

That one I don't get.

That's how we paid cowboys.

They paid...

They worked...

They worked...

They didn't work for dollars.

They worked for the farm laborer or the ranch laborer or however you want to call it.

They did!

Okay.

Like this whole fucking...

Like you think that your personal opinion on things should rule the economy,

and that's how...

That's called socialism, and it doesn't work.

No, I don't like to see people be abused.

I don't care what you like to see or not.

It's your opinion.

If you don't like it, don't buy from that company.

Okay.

You don't get to tell that company they can't do that.

Because that's their property.

Actually, it is illegal to hire...

I don't give a fuck.

Illegal just means some other man's opinion.

Why don't you get that?

Jesus...

So you're an antler, because why the fuck are you protesting with these people?

Because protesting is mostly bullshit.

It doesn't accomplish anything.

Get out there and fight...

It doesn't do anything.

They don't listen...

...lose it, tooth or two, for your fucking principles.

They don't...

That doesn't do anything.

That's how we solve these problems.

It sure as fuck doesn't do anything, not doing anything.

Who says I'm not doing anything?

I'm running a podcast where I teach you how to escape from this shit

by going on the dark web and then using Monero.

What are you talking about?

Okay.

All right.

So I can't...

The video has been removed, but Senator was arrested today.

What do you mean?

You want to keep going on the...

No, yeah.

On the slave labor.

I'm cool with that.

But...

It's not...

It's their choice.

It's a choice.

You're choosing.

It's not a slave.

Who's choosing?

They are.

Okay.

So did you hear Trump wants to tax them on the money they send back to Mexico?

He already taxed them on the income.

No, no.

But if you send your money back to Mexico to your family...

That's retarded.

You have no way to do that.

What do you mean?

How would you even do that?

If you see the banking system, apparently the banking system knows what the fuck we're doing.

Okay, but they're just going to stop using the banking system.

So they're just going to put money in envelope and lick it and...

They might.

Maybe they'll use Monero.

I mean, like, do you think they're just going to eat the tax, though?

They're not... They pay taxes when they earn the money.

Why the fuck should they pay taxes when it goes back out?

That's fucking stupid.

And like, the idea that we need money in the country,

we don't need fucking pieces of paper with numbers on them.

It's good to send that shit out of here.

Not that I'm for this, but you know, like,

you got to pay to move out of certain states in this country.

New York, California.

What?

If you make X amount of dollars, you have to pay a tax to move out of the state.

I've never...

What the fuck are you...

What are you talking...

Now, I know California tried to do this thing where, like,

they would tax you for 10 years in your new states.

Okay.

But I think that got shot down.

It's kind of a similar thing.

I think that got shot down.

But like, how are you going to stop me from leaving?

I don't understand.

You can leave.

Yeah.

But you got to pay.

Well, what if I don't pay?

What are you going to do?

That's a good question.

Like, I've left.

I don't know.

It's something I've heard because I...

Not that I listen to Sean Hannity because I truly don't.

But he was...

He did a video that said he had to pay money to live in New York to move to Florida.

Now, I think if you're rich enough, they can keep you on that.

But if I'm a regular guy, they can fuck you about it.

Yeah, I'm not saying like, Jose and Bob.

Yeah.

I'm saying like, the wealthy people.

Well, yeah, I mean, I can see how they can force you to pay, but I...

It shouldn't be.

Like, that should be illegal.

It should be.

So...

I don't know.

What the fuck?

We're a fucked up country right now.

Oh, fuck.

Oh, no, I just liked the fact that I saw a...

I wish the video was still up because I was going to play the sound.

They're really...

The word...

There wasn't a lot of words, but it was a senator face down the ground and you heard the hand

cups like, particularly the clicking and stuff.

And I'm like, we got about 537 more of those we got there.

There's only 100 senators.

Congress too.

Yeah.

Yeah, let me out.

Yeah, all together.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's gonna ball.

What about Thomas Massey?

So, well...

I would...

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

But no, did you hear about Rand Paul?

What happened?

He claims that he was disinvited to the White House barbecue.

And he goes, it's some of my family that's forward to every year.

Yeah.

And then Trump came out the next day and went, who disinvited you?

I want you here because I want to convince you to vote for the big, beautiful bill.

How can I convince you to do that if you're not here?

Yeah.

So, I don't know what actually happened because he went on...

The Vince's podcast, which is the Deb Magino replacement.

And he was like...

And the thing is, the only reason he's against the big, beautiful bill

is because it raises the debt ceiling.

Yeah.

So...

And I saw him...

Like, I saw him come out with conditions on which he would vote for it.

I didn't read what those wishes were.

Basically, it basically comes down to the debt ceiling.

Okay.

He goes, if we raise the debt ceiling, we own that debt.

Yeah.

He goes, I don't want to be a part of owning that debt.

So, it's a logical thing.

Yeah.

Well, I did see that the doge cuts, they're actually voting on that.

They finally could break that into the house.

Only $90 million, I think it is.

It's a small portion.

How is it channeled?

It's a small portion.

But no, no, no, no.

It's apparently there's...

If they pass those doge cuts, then it makes it easier for Trump to do it with even without Congress approval.

Okay.

It was very confusing.

I was listening to it.

I'm like...

What is something at least?

Fucking Jesus.

Well, no, but it's...

So, you know, Congress goes on break in August.

And apparently, if Trump can get them to approve these cuts while they're on break,

he can go a little crazy.

Which, one thing Trump is really good at, is going a little crazy.

Assuming he does it himself and not fucking delegates it out to some dickhead.

Well, I mean, I cut the cut.

And you start cutting funding, I'm fucking cool with that.

Still won't relief for American people there, Trump.

I mean, no income tax.

Well, no, I guess it's the big, beautiful bill.

Apparently, every citizen will benefit by at least $5,000 in their tax.

When they go to do the taxes.

No, no, no.

When I used to...

Under Trump, when I did my taxes, I owed like six grand.

After Trump, I owed like 17 grand.

I don't know.

You don't know how to do your taxes.

Because it definitely went down under Trump, but it wasn't that much.

No, that's what I owed.

I don't know.

I switched jobs a lot, so I don't know I haven't in a while.

But so when I fill out my tax forms, I always put Mary filing a single on a higher rate or whatever.

Whatever it takes the maximum amount at.

So a hundred fucking grand, but I don't understand.

Yeah, I don't know what the fuck you're doing.

Well, I don't know.

I'm not a fucking accountant.

Just go on the fucking free...

I don't do surgery on myself, do I?

Go on the free websites and just fill the form out.

It's easy.

I don't know how to...

You did that and type $1,000.

I would count.

Can you get me...

This is what I don't...

You'll fuck something up.

I guess this is what I don't count.

This is what TurboTax is I owe.

If you can get me lower than this, if you could have to pay you.

Yeah.

So you have to get me at least lower than your fee minus that.

Yeah.

Yeah, I don't understand taxes.

I don't like taxes.

I don't want to pay taxes.

Maybe that's my problem.

Well, I'm not sure.

Surely you got to stop asking for debt

and you got to stop asking for lower interest rates.

And I'm going to cover that next week actually.

Well, maybe two weeks because it's going to be a two-part show.

Well, we want lower interest rates.

No, we don't.

Because then your taxes are going to go up.

So the average interest rate in this country has been five to six percent for...

For industry, yeah.

Yeah.

So that's kind of where we're sitting at right now.

Yeah.

And that's not that bad.

But the problem is we have like minus one interest rates for a while.

Okay.

So that was kind of cool.

But it wasn't.

It was.

No, it wasn't.

It was during COVID.

Just wait till I do the show and like actually pay attention

because I'm going to go over that shit.

Like it's going to be...

It's a long one.

I've already prepping it and it's going to be a two-parter.

Okay.

No, because I do admit I'm not an economics guy.

I don't care.

I spent my life at Drug and Saler on leave.

Which is funny because that's what I've always said.

And I don't know if I've said on this show or not, I may or may not have.

But now I've even heard other people say it.

So I don't know if I picked it from somebody and they carried it on or if I made that up.

And well, no, it may have been Peter Schiff.

No, Peter Schiff said, given money to Congress is like giving drunk teenagers the keys to the car.

Yes.

So yeah, I don't know where I got the...

They spent what I had...

Well, he has a lot of analogies.

That's his thing.

And maybe he did say it.

That's where I picked it up.

Because if I was to pick up a statement like that, it probably would have been from him.

Yeah.

But yeah, but now here are other people who say it.

I'm like, what the f...

Are you listening to our podcast?

Well, what do you got on the old X account here?

Oh, just bring one up and see what we got.

I love this one.

So use the upper end of the place.

Who runs the bike into the sand?

Probably didn't see it.

No, bullshit.

Oh, well, he deserves to be arrested.

For stupid.

What did he do?

What are they chasing him for?

Oh, he's brown.

He's not white.

Oh, there you go.

Yeah, put the rest, that guy.

What do we got next here?

Oh, I forgot I had this up.

What the fuck is this?

It's a cuddle bottle.

What is why?

Why and why and how and why?

Okay.

What the fuck?

So...

Is this what like leftists do in their free time?

Or like, what is this?

Well, okay.

Because I see red hair.

So I can tell you right now, because of cuddle puddles,

my wife is not allowed to buy anything...

There, what a peaceful person.

Oh, she's not allowed to buy anything with patchouli in it.

What the fuck?

We had a friend that was in the cuddle puddles.

Why?

Why?

Why is this your friend?

I don't understand.

We were expecting her to live in Chicago.

I mean, no, I'm open to anything.

I'll be a friend of anybody.

I don't care.

No.

No, I...

Some people do not know their friends.

No, I learned from people.

But this...

Not those people.

Okay.

Do you want diva cupas?

I don't want to know.

You don't want to know.

I don't care.

Okay.

So, plug your ears.

A diva cup is when you don't want to use a tampon,

you put a cup there and it catches all the blood.

This particular lady wanted to know

if she could fertilize her tomatoes with it.

She's in the cuddle puddles.

And that's actually...

She's the one who taught me about the puddle puddles.

And knowing that she...

I would never want to get into one.

She was a freaking.

Now, we've talked about freaking before.

They get their free food.

They get their vegan food for free on the dumpster.

It's pretty fucking gross.

She...

She was a big girl.

I mean, yeah.

Yeah.

And she...

Because she was a hippie, she showered once a week.

Oh, my God.

And she would use patchouli to cover up the smell.

And she...

August in Chicago.

And she was a hugger.

So, you can kind of see...

I came over, Mork, one day.

I get in the elevator.

I'm like, what the fuck is that smell?

It's patchouli.

I get off my floor.

I go, what the fuck is the floor?

I walk into my house.

I go, is that you?

Is this smell you?

I go, yeah, I bought a new perfume.

It's got patchouli in it.

I go, you gotta get the fuck rid of that shit.

That's just gonna get out my fucking house right now.

And she's like, why?

I go, well, I better say the girl's name.

I go, the hugger.

The vegan shows once a week.

So, yeah, it's...

Yeah, so I cannot...

I legit cannot smell patchouli.

Well, why did you push this on their ex account?

Like, what is this?

Like, I don't...

Well, I don't want to tip you off.

Because I like to talk about it.

I'm not gonna do that.

Like, you're not in cuddle bottles?

If somebody, like, let's say I'm at the poker table

and I make friends with somebody

and they're like, hey, we're having a cuddle bottle this weekend.

You want to come over?

I'd be like, what the fuck?

He's like, no.

I don't care what it is.

No, the answer's no.

She would cuddle bottles with homeless people.

God, dude.

All right.

Before we go to the next video, let's give away some money.

Okay.

Okay.

So, last week we had a simple word challenge.

It was moon rover.

Okay.

And we had three people enter.

Oh.

So, we got Almagust.

We got Monero Mesh.

And we got Mav McHugh.

So, let's see who wins.

Spend a win.

Monero Mesh.

All right.

Contracts down until you collect your winnings.

Come and find us.

So, the next video, guys, are you guys brought it up?

What do we got here?

This is going to be the song.

She's the press secretary.

She's probably, I think, 27 or 28.

She is a badass.

And I don't know if you have seen her videos.

Watch some of them.

This is just one that I found.

Why did she make a couple?

I found this going to be funny.

So, if there were a peaceful protest on Saturday

for the Bill Tate Parade, President Trump would allow that.

Of course the president supports peaceful protest.

What a stupid question.

I mean, I don't know.

It's just a stupid question.

She's so much different than the sponge,

scrubby head thing.

Yeah.

You know, where she just like lying all the time?

Yeah.

Biden's fine.

Oh, but yeah, she left the Democrat Party.

You know, the funny thing is,

they would have had almost the same answer to that question.

Right?

So, like, if someone had asked Korean John Pierre,

does Biden support peaceful protests,

she would have said that's a stupid question.

She would have said yes.

She would have said that's a stupid question.

That's the next question.

I don't know.

She would have had the balls to say that.

She said she liked that.

She didn't say it directly.

She said it like in a passive aggressive, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, that was a passive aggressive.

That was just like, fuck you.

But she would have had the same sentiment.

But she wouldn't have said yes, he supports it.

I like blunt people.

That's all I'm saying.

The blunter, the better.

There you go.

That's a Chicago thing.

Yeah, I think it is because it's funny, like when my wife was in,

we lived in Boulder, people like my wife,

why, because my wife, she's Italian, so she's got an accent.

And people confuse her accent with Jersey, sometimes New York,

and then sometimes Chicago.

But they're like, are you angry?

She goes, no, I'm just talking, I'm fine.

Yeah, I get that a lot too.

Yeah.

Well, no, you are angry.

Even when I'm not, I get it.

Wait, does it mean you're not angry?

Of course.

See, you're doing it right now.

Dude, I had fucking like, I was just talking, it was at work,

and I was teaching these new hires some shit.

And I'm just talking to my normal voice, like,

you hear me right now.

Yeah.

And it was just two women, okay.

And they were like, and one of them was like,

could you please not yell?

I'm like, this is my voice, I'm not yelling.

Like, if you don't like that, then you're just gonna have to quit.

So see, now I'm mad.

This is the part like, why are you fucking accusing me?

You know what I mean?

Like, so, how am I yelling?

The guy at work with may or may not be my boss, it's a weird,

well, no, it's like, we're both salary, we're both management.

And I think if you want to fire me, you would have to get

somebody else's approval to do so.

Or not, I don't know.

I mean, fire me because I'll put that switch,

because I won't have the door, you're gonna be fucked.

I run billboards, I know what to do.

But we were in a meeting once, and it was on Zoom.

I was in my office, he was in his office.

And after that, he goes, because I got a little aggressive.

Yeah.

Well, no, because we were interviewing contractors,

and the third contractor was a fucking liar, legit.

And I even told my boss before this, I go,

this contractor is going around Vegas to get bids,

to win the bid when he's the highest bidder.

Yeah.

And my boss was like, oh, how would that happen?

I go, a bucket full of cash to the right person.

And then all of a sudden, we found out he went around us

to our higher ups, technically.

And they were all like, oh, this guy seems really good.

I go, fucking right there, dude.

And so we were doing a Zoom call interviewing three different contractors.

And I mean, I'm an easygoing guy most of the time.

I could be, you know, I get a little worked up,

and I get a little like, you know, but I enjoy it.

I get legit enjoying arguing and debating and all that kind of stuff.

I know what you think it's debating what you're doing,

but continue.

Yeah, it's not debating, it's with you.

You can't beat me.

Sure.

Well, no, you don't understand how it works.

No, you'll be like, stretch me to be owned by private citizens.

No, they don't.

And then I go through open.

Well, that's stupid.

You're retarded.

I win.

No, you're an idiot, but cool.

You missed the whole part where like,

we destroyed every argument that you brought up.

You have not.

Yes, we did.

Okay.

Yeah, you and Charles.

Yeah.

Oh.

A five year old can do it.

Okay.

So, so we went through the interview and these contractors and the first two I was cool with.

I wanted one particular one to get it and actually they got it today.

Actually, mine did, which is kind of cool.

The second one was like, I'm like, okay, I'm fair enough.

If they get it, I'm not upset.

But then the third one came on and I was like, I tried to be calm and cool.

Like, I'm not gonna, I'm gonna stay calm here and the dudes are saying shit.

I'm like, that's not true.

What are you saying that?

And him and I were going back and forth.

He said, well, I'm gonna go and bring in the engineer and he brings in the engineer and I was like,

well, you lost right there because you're running the fucking engineer.

But the engineer, the engineer was like, well, well, when I'm remodeling cars, I prefer,

I mean, no, no, dude, we're not remodeling cars.

We're doing window work.

Can you keep up with us?

So I was having a dick and after the meeting, I walk in his office and he goes,

Ron, I've been in a bunch of meetings before my business meetings before and I've never seen

my act that way.

I go, give the fuck.

Well, that's cool.

But I've been in a ton of construction meetings in my life and there's exactly how the fuck we act.

It wasn't a business, it's a construction meeting.

So that's how it's fucking done.

Yeah, this guy, he, I don't give a shit about how you run meeting.

Say what I say.

If someone's lying, I cannot keep my mouth shut.

No, yeah, I'm the same way.

I just like, I'm like, I gotta hold out.

Yeah.

I mean, I don't know if that's my spectrum thing or what.

I don't know if I'm on the spectrum.

Well, no, it's especially in a, you know, don't fucking lie.

In a business situation where, especially like in construction, where people can die,

if you're lying, like what the fuck?

Like when, you know, when I worked, okay, if someone lies, your payday loan doesn't go through

or you pay a couple of dollars extra in interest, like it's not the end of the fucking work.

But I still have to say my head's like, no, you're not going to fucking lie to me.

So this particular project, I guess I could talk about it.

High rise building technically, it kind of sits with seven eight stories.

Windows could fall out.

Yeah.

And I'm just like, we need to get this job done.

And my boss is like, well, you know, it's sound of our control.

I go, dude, I'm gonna give a fuck.

And I don't find out, I go, you better be protecting yourself.

Yeah.

Because I'm going to tell you right now, I have.

If the lawyers come to me, I'm going to be like, here's all my emails.

I go, you better have that.

Oh, it's got like the emails is so like, every time some dumb ass manager asked me to do something

that I knew was bullshit.

I'm like, you email me that and I'll get right on it.

Well, no, so he's like, well, Ron, he goes, we have attorneys for our company that'll protect us.

I go, they're for the company, not for you.

I go, no, no, no, you don't understand.

We're neglectful.

Yeah.

That cancels out everything and that just adds zeros to the lawsuits.

Yeah.

I go, I'm like, dude, your house is in jeopardy.

You think I'm lying.

Yeah.

And I'm not because when they start adding those zeros on there and they prove you're neglectful,

you got a fucking problem.

I'm not.

I got the fucking shit to prove it.

Right.

Because I'm not fucking around with this.

So yeah, no, it was just like, I mean, like, like we legit had a window fall out.

A couple of windows.

Yeah.

And I'm just like, we got to get on because they pair.

Okay.

What the fuck in Chicago, you get a window fall out, the city will come to you and punish you.

They'll make up shit to make you do just because of window fall.

Well, we had that disaster in the nineties where there was like the people on the balcony.

Remember that?

That was a big ass thing.

And then they changed everything.

So, okay.

So what that was, it was in June and it was Gay Pride month and there was a bunch of gay people on

a patio on a balcony and it collapsed.

Yeah.

The decent amount of people died.

The balcony was inspected like two weeks prior and the guy goes, this guy goes, oh, yeah,

well, I got immunity because he's got an employee.

He did.

Yeah.

But the city, like they really clamped down on the rules for everything.

But here in Vegas, I don't think they gave a shit about window falls out.

Dude, we've had windows hit the strip and then it's like, we should fix that.

You should fix that.

Yeah.

Well, if they have a fender bender, they close off the road in all four directions.

So, I've never seen a city that just doesn't care about safety.

Why should they?

I mean, it's neglect.

It adds zero.

It's not their job.

It's your job to be safe.

No, no.

If you're doing something in an unsafe manner and you kill somebody and they prove neglect.

Right.

But that's stupid.

The city's proud of the city.

Like, no, it's their job to do the inspection.

And you've, I get it.

Right.

The city should stay out of my building and let me do my thing.

And in some ways they do here.

But in child, they didn't because it's about life safety.

Dude, we have a scaffolding fall off a building and kill a family in a car.

Okay.

We've had a piece of glass fall out of a building with a grandmother and the grandson walking in

the street holding hands.

Grandma got killed.

Fucking great.

With all those taxes and regulations, you still end up killing people anyway.

Great.

It's a waste.

No, I'm not for that.

I mean, I'm not necessarily for like what they do.

What I'm saying though is if it happens, they punish you.

Okay.

Here they're like, oh, well, that sucks.

Well, yeah, that sucks.

I mean, if you're walking in the forest by yourself and a tree falls and you die, that

sucks.

Like the forest doesn't owe you anything.

That's an act of God.

Okay.

So is a window falling out?

If you know a window is losing good fall out.

Right.

Right.

It's different if you do.

And you wait a year to do anything.

Well, sue them then.

Like that's why you have courts.

Sue them.

Yeah.

You want to walk to my property or what?

We haven't fixed the windows yet.

I can push you one out on you.

Oh, you're like one story house that.

No, not here when I work.

Oh, where you work?

Yeah, it might cut you in half, but I can sue on your behalf.

Okay.

Okay.

Maybe you win something.

Oh, no, it's just like confined spaces.

Okay.

In Chicago, you don't go, you got to be licensed to go to.

I've been in confined spaces illegally before, but, but, but if you know it, you know what

to do, fine, whatever.

Where my son worked at here.

His, the, the, the, the head guys are go, we got a pump that needs to be pulled out of that pit.

Derek, go, go get it.

He goes, I'm not going in this.

That's confined space.

He goes, that's an ocean violation.

And it's what I say, ocean violation.

There's like ocean violations.

And then there's confined space violations.

No, people know it.

So I do the,

spend some time in a third world country and then fucking tell, like, tell me how, how.

So Puerto Rico, when they had the earthquake, how many houses collapsed?

I don't know.

There's a lot.

Who cares?

That's just life.

It's part of life.

I would rather have my house.

Go to my Bolia.

I would have, I would rather have my house built with reasonable.

Okay.

So then pay for it.

Let other people choose another one.

Kind of okay with that.

Oh, we're gonna do that.

Life, safety, bullshit.

Go to Mongolia.

So like you'll see people, like working on a traffic light on a ladder, not up against anything.

Like just a ladder, like touching the wires and like they're just up there fucking with it.

Well, they're nothing.

They're nothing.

They're nothing.

If they have the hooks on the ladder on a wire.

They don't have any of that shit.

They're just up there.

The elevators.

So I had this happen to me when I went there.

I get in the elevator and it's like very small.

It's like the smallest elevator you've ever seen.

And not everybody in our party was in the elevator.

So the door started to close and I stick my hand to, you know, make the door open.

Yeah.

The door doesn't give a fuck.

Right.

It just keeps on coming.

And I like, I push it to, you know, like, Hey, hey buddy, I'm here.

It doesn't get to keep on going.

Right.

So I figured it out before the thing closed.

Okay.

I guess the door is not gonna open.

Right.

Like they don't give a shit.

And yet they're still there living their lives and then having families and all that.

Like you don't need this stuff.

We are a very litigious society.

Right.

Now that you brought elevators.

So the elevator, the traditional elevators used to have like a plastic strip that ran down.

Like a plastic bar that ran down that was on a bracket.

And then if you hit the bar, it reopened the doors.

Okay.

So those are, those are gonna get stuck a lot.

There'll be issues, whatever.

We said elevator operators.

Right.

Right.

But so they took those plastic bars out and they put in iBeam.

Yeah.

Do you know what the iBeam can't pick up?

Your dog.

Okay.

And you have a leash.

Yeah.

I've seen those.

And you've had that leash that you can let your dog like go like 25 feet ahead of you.

And it's a really thin.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Those can't pick up.

So I was in the elevator.

I've seen videos where this happened.

And this lady walks in and her dog didn't follow her.

Yeah.

And my God, the elevator takes off.

She's freaking out.

We're all like looking for a knife to cut this fucking thing.

And all of a sudden we're like, we're now we went from four one to four two and I go,

there's no reason.

Usually the hardest on the dog will come out.

What are my employees on the waiting for the elevator got her knife out and cut it real quick.

But I'm.

See like, that's the thing is when when when Karen's have that happen, what do they do?

They go to the city council meeting and they say, we need to have

elevators detect dog leashes and then the fucking because the council says that sounds like a great

idea.

Well, there's no dog should be harmed by an elevator.

Then they write the law and then all the elevator companies gotta spend billions of dollars to

make the new elevators.

And it's a fucking just giant mess.

It's funny you say the word harmed.

I would go decapitated.

It doesn't matter.

It's a dog.

It's a fucking dog.

Oh, I'm getting my dog in here.

Do we we decapitated animals all the time and then we eat them?

I mean, so what's an animal?

I have an 80 pound dog outside that door.

So what then don't bring them in here.

Don't bring them in a fucking elevator and expect bad shit to not happen.

And by the way, why aren't dogs confused by elevators?

Because like a dog, it goes into a box, right?

The doors close and then the doors open and like the whole world is different.

Why doesn't that confuse us?

So it's funny you bring this up because there was a prank show that you would walk into a

fake elevator and look like a real elevator.

And all they would do is they would turn the elevator this way and you would walk out.

And people thought they went up.

Okay, you can see that.

But all they did was turn it this way.

Well, why would you not think if you went up?

Why are humans not confused by elevators?

Well, because we don't understand how they work.

The elevator goes up and then...

But it didn't go up.

It was...

They felt movement.

Yeah.

They felt movement.

They're like, I'm good.

I must be where I'm going.

Right.

How does a dog not freak out?

Like, wait a minute.

The whole world changed.

What happened?

So yeah, so there was an incident, one of my buildings I worked at in Chicago.

This was bad.

No, no, legit.

This guy would have died three or four seconds later if...

So we had an elevator pit, but we had sub basements.

So there was a door that went to the sub pit and luckily there was an emergency stop button

at that door.

And that was an elevator guy down there.

Another elevator guy was on the car because they were remodeling the car.

And he needed to jump from one car to the other for a second.

And the other car was moving.

And he didn't realize that it was about ready to go up.

Now, when it went up, it was floor one, floor two, and then the blind horseway.

What a blind horseway is, is a cinder block walls for like 30 floors.

Okay.

30 floors.

Why?

Why?

Because it's a high ride.

It's a high ride.

Oh, it's like a penthouse elevator or something?

Well, it's not a penthouse.

It's a higher floor.

Yeah, okay.

He jumped to the car and that car took off up.

He screamed when his foot got cut off and his partner hit the stop button

seconds before he ended the blind horseway.

He was dead if it was a blind horseway.

Why would he be dead if he went in there?

Because his foot was cut off.

Okay.

Legit cut off.

I understand why would he be dead.

He would bleed out because if you stop the elevator.

You're not going to bleed out.

Okay.

Oh, so when you say you stopped the elevator, the elevator can't go back again.

It can't go up to the blind horseway.

Right.

Now he is stuck for hours.

No, no, we got it before he went.

The guy.

Right.

But I'm saying if he was in there, he would be stuck for hours.

I'm just going to tell you this, the amount of blood that poured down the elevator

was, with the lady inside, the walls were legit bleeding.

Doesn't he not have a tight tourniquet?

Like take your belt off and tourniquet that shit.

Dude, he was, I mean, he lit and it was sewed back on.

I mean, what I say was off.

It was like, they pulled him out of the shaft.

It was hay abide attendant.

Okay.

He was in like shock.

He was on the phone with his wife.

I got, I mean, I fucked up.

I got to get the hospital.

But the elevator inspector came by to see what happened.

Now elevator inspectors are elevator guys that got old.

So they're going to protect the elevator guy.

Okay.

And he was looking at, he's looking at, he's looking around and goes,

he goes, what's that?

I go, that's the I beam that his leg bent.

He bent an I beam with his leg.

That was, yeah, that was, but, but

I don't know if things weren't funny.

There was a lady in the elevator with blood coming out of the wall.

Her husband was like, my wife's in that elevator.

You got to get her out.

There's blood everywhere.

I go, I can't do shit because we're pulling a possible dead guy off the

top of the car.

She was in from like, I got over like closer to an hour.

Oh my God.

It was fucking horrible.

Oh, Morty.

It's not that fun.

I don't know.

I, we're at an hour mark.

I didn't have the best show today because I just got, I had to say work,

I worked late and I didn't do a lot of show prep.

So I've got an hour now.

So I'm happy.

All right.

So I'm going to talk about self custody with crypto because we talk about it a lot,

but we haven't actually talked about it yet.

So I decided let's do a show on that.

So really what's the deal with self-calcity?

Like why is it important?

Why are we going to do it?

Well, so last week, if you remember, we talked about some incidents where

we're California is trying to pass a law where they're going to take your crypto off of exchanges.

If it's idle, whatever the fuck they decide that means.

So self-custody would prevent them from doing that because there is no exchange.

You own it.

It cannot be taken from you without your permission or you fucking up somehow.

And you don't have to rely on any third parties.

Like there's no banker.

There's no government.

There's just nothing but you and your crypto.

So this is why you would want to do this.

So how do we do this?

So everyone talks about it.

Oh, you have some self-custody, but how do you do it?

So first thing you want to look for is open source wallet software for either your PC or your mobile

phone for the crypto that you prefer.

Since we use Monero here, I like the Monero Core wallets or a cake wallet for mobile.

So one way to kind of do a sanity check is if you load up some software and it starts

asking for your real name, your social security number, your address or any personal details,

probably not a self-cutter to do a custody wallet.

It's probably tied to some third party and they're going to be holding a crypto.

Right?

And the reason they want that info is because the government tells them they have to collect it.

So when you first start the wallet, it should give you a long multi-word phrase.

And the number of words depends on which crypto you're in.

So Monero tees are going to be 24 or 16 words.

And then for Bitcoin and other things like that, it's going to be 12 words, I think.

Don't quote me on that, but it's a long phrase.

And essentially this phrase is your crypto wallet.

So basically it's a way of converting the private key, which is random numbers,

into some set of words that you could write down and replay back into get your wallet back.

So when the wallet says, hey buddy, write these words down, write them down.

It's very fucking important because if you lose those and then you lose that wallet,

you've lost your money.

So write those fucking words down, put them in a safe spot.

So what you want to, another thing you want to think about is multiple wallets.

So a lot of people have one bank account, but you know, if you're a little bit more wealthy,

you realize you don't want to have one bank account.

You want to have multiple bank accounts and you want them for separate purposes.

Like maybe you have one for personal and then you have one for your business.

And then you have one in a different country.

So you want to think of different wallets for different purposes.

This is my wallet for Canary in the Cage.

This is my personal wallet.

This is my savings wallet.

This is my wallet for when I go down to that dildo store

and I don't want anybody to know where the rest of my funds are connected to.

And then you want to adjust your security level for each of those wallets

based on how much crypto you plan to have in that wallet.

So like you don't need super high tech security for your wallet with five bucks in it

that you just go down to the store with, right?

So like daily spend wallets can maintain a low balance and then have minimum security

which you would trade for maximum convenience.

So there's always that trade off between convenience and security, right?

So like a long-term savings wallet would have maximum security,

but it would be very inconvenient.

So like you don't want to be dipping into your savings all the time,

but if you do, it's going to be a little bit of pain in the ass because it's so secure.

And then another thing you want to think about is for wallets that are high value,

you want to have a maximum value and then every time you go above that,

you make a new wallet and then just have savings one, savings two,

savings three, shit like that.

And then keep those backups in different locations.

So like if you lose one of your savings wallets, you haven't lost all of them.

So now how to secure these things.

You always want to keep multiple copies of your wallets.

So when you make a software wallet on your computer or your mobile phone,

you can do both.

You can have the same lot on both.

And then you can have another mobile phone, you can have another computer,

you can put it as many computers as you want.

Okay.

Just make sure those computers are secure.

You're not handing your laptop out and there you bottom our laptop.

Oh, it's got my crypto.

Sorry.

No.

And you always want to password protect them.

So make sure that all of your wallets are password or pin protected on your phone.

Use hard drive encryption.

We talked about that on episode 48.

So any machine that you're going to have crypto on a crypto wallet,

you want to encrypt that hard drive.

Because if someone finds that in the dumpster, they can steal your crypto, right?

If they can figure out your password, which is a lot easier than breaking the encryption.

So yeah, if you lose one of your devices, it's always accessible from a wallet

on your other devices, right?

So if I lose my phone, I can still use my phone.

If I lose my phone, I can still access my crypto on my laptop here.

Now, if you do lose a device, what you're going to want to do is you're going to want to delete

the wallet that was on that device.

So you're going to want to transfer the crypto from one of your backups to a brand new wallet.

And then now that wallet has zero in it, right?

So if someone finds your phone and they crack your wallets,

they can't get your crypto, right?

They just get this is zero.

So yeah, even with the password, you just don't want to risk that.

And so there's things called hardware wallets.

So there's these tools called, one's called a Trezor, one's called a Ledger.

Another way these work is that your private keys never leave the hardware device.

So it's like a little USB stick.

And if you want to send crypto, you have to plug that USB stick into something

and then type a password in.

And then the wallet on the machine is going to say, I don't have any private keys.

Where's my private keys?

And you're going to say, oh, it's on that hardware device.

And the device is going to sign the transaction and then send it back to the wallet.

And the wall is going to know how to send that data off.

Now, these could be annoying for a couple of reasons.

So one, you got to keep updated all the time.

So if there's an update to your crypto and you don't update that hardware device,

your crypto is locked in there until you update.

It's paying the ass.

Now, if you don't have any offline backups, like I'm recommending that you do,

because your old hardware device, it keeps everything safe and secure.

And if you lose that device, you've lost your crypto, right?

Now, if you do have offline backups, it's kind of defeating the whole point of keeping the

keys on the device, right?

Because you have an offline backup.

So if someone wants to steal your crypto, they don't steal the device.

They go find your offline backup.

So like it's a kind of a chicken-in-the-egg kind of thing,

where they go, it offers this neat little function, but you kind of got to defeat it to

have all your backups.

So I don't really like these things.

If you find use out of them, great.

Use them if you like them.

But I'm just giving you some reasons why I avoid them.

And like Monero is especially annoying with these because Monero wallets have to stay

synced with the network.

Otherwise, you're going to have to wait when you want to do transfer.

So if you're not synced up, it's going to say,

oh, you got to wait an hour.

And then you're going to sit there for a fucking hour like an idiot.

So let's talk about offline copies.

So that's C phrase we talked about earlier, when the wallet first creates and says,

write this down, you're going to either write it down on paper.

Or what some people do is like they etch it into metal so it's permanent.

Now, here's a funny thing.

There's companies that will sell you an etched piece of metal with the C phrase on it.

But you have to give them the C phrase so they can etch it on the metal.

Don't do that.

That's giving them your crypto.

So do it yourself if you're going to do this metal etching thing.

And then you want to store this in a very secure location.

If you have a safe, a big heavy safe put in there.

Otherwise, we talked about hiding places on one of our episodes.

Like one of those fake wall outlets, that's a great spot for it because no one will ever look there.

But yeah, and you can have multiple.

Like you have multiple so that in case your house burns down, you have one somewhere else.

We talked about using a deck of cards.

You can store your C phrase, you can convert it into a deck of cards.

You can store that deck of cards.

Another thing you can do is when you write down, you can use invisible ink.

So when someone finds a piece of paper, it's just a blank piece of paper.

But you know that there's invisible ink there.

And yeah, like I said, keep a multiple copy of these things in different locations,

not all in your apartments.

If you're going to use a third party storage location like a bank vault,

or one of those third party, they just store shit for you.

Make sure you're using something where they can't identify it,

like the invisible ink or the deck of cards.

Because that way if they break into your shit, they don't know that that's your crypto.

But yeah, so if you have any other questions, pop on the chat room and send them over.

Because you all want to be self-custody in your funds.

And by the way, today's secret word is custody.

Okay.

So if you want to win next week's winner, give us the word custody.

So I was going to do my segment on turning your dirt into soil.

But because I got caught up at work and I didn't use the word.

Excuse me.

No, no, no.

Well, I could probably fake it right now.

But because I took a class last Saturday on how to do this.

And but if I have my notes with me, I can get all scientists on you.

And I'll sort of do that next week.

I kind of want to play off what you just did.

Okay.

So if I had a device that had somebody else's crypto on it, how would I know that?

It depends.

It depends on how well they've secured that device.

So if they encrypted their drive, you have no fucking idea what's on there.

It's just a device you can't open.

Right.

Okay.

If it's not encrypted and they have a weak password, you can break in with that password.

And then you can you can look around in their files for files that have certain names.

So like Bitcoin wallets will be called, you know, wallet dot DAT, right?

And it's in the Bitcoin folder.

Okay.

And then people can move it around if they want to.

But most people don't do that.

They just take the defaults.

So if you see that Bitcoin wallet or Bitcoin wallet dot that,

that's probably Bitcoin wallet.

And when there is a similar like it's in the same similar location

with the same name.

Okay.

And like you can even if they do hide it, you can analyze files.

And then with certain tools and those tools will say, hey, that's a Bitcoin wallet.

So could they put it like on a gaming system power drive?

Yeah.

Huh.

So the reason I asked this is I may I don't know if I told the story or not,

but I'm going to build on it if I did.

Where I work at, we had a guy kill another guy.

No, I'm not getting.

Killed him on his balcony.

And then we had just got there.

So our camera system wasn't working properly.

So we didn't really have the footage we needed.

And the body somehow got from the balcony to the guys that apparently trunk.

And then to the California desert.

The Duke Cross estate line.

I mean, it's the California state lines.

It's like 30 miles from here.

And he pulled the body out of his car, led it next to it and soaked it in probably gas.

I don't know that fuel use and burn it.

Okay.

When did he get back in his car and he was stuck.

So what do you do if you're in the desert and your car stuck and there's a smaller

in body sitting next to you?

Why was it stuck?

What is it saying?

Oh, okay.

You call tow truck.

Obviously.

And then you fall asleep.

I mean, that's like a social path.

Now this is a true start.

So the tow truck is going to the desert.

So there's two guys in there.

We're not going alone.

They pull up, they see the car stuck.

They see the guy sleeping in his car.

They see the small room body and they go, uh, fuck this.

And they back out and they call Sam or did he know how did he kill the guy?

What was the method of choice?

Don't know.

Okay.

Cause I don't know if Metro actually knew how they killed him.

I had no, he could have been a stabbing.

Well, no, the body was burned.

Well, they may have known.

I don't, I didn't, well, I didn't dig deep.

So the reason I'm asking is because I might have a gun with me and then shoot myself on the shoulder.

Right.

Cause now I'm another victim of this attack in the desert.

Well, but the attack happened at the pat on the balcony.

Yeah, but they didn't know that yet.

True.

I mean, whatever.

So, so the reason I'm saying all this is they say if our leader came and arrested the guy,

the guy who did in jail ever since.

Yeah.

About a week after this happened, I pulled up to work one day

and I see these storage boxes in the dumpster and I go, oh, I need storage boxes and they're free.

Yeah.

So I go to start grabbing the storage boxes that I see playstations, Xbox, movies, all this

shit.

So I just grab it all through my truck.

I don't know if it's the dude that killed the guy or not, but the guy who killed the guy is a financial guy.

And like, like when the story hit the newspapers, they're like, oh, I'm so glad somebody killed

that guy who was an asshole or the guy who killed him is an ass.

So the police are looking for some of the playstations that.

So I'm wondering, I never looked into it, but I'm wondering if this guy was a financial.

I mean, he was like, yeah, very decent financial.

Do you still have these hard drives?

Well, I had the gaming systems.

Yeah.

Okay.

Um, man, a few other.

Have you played games and shit?

Um, I believe in the Xbox I have.

I'm not really going to game.

Because that might have overwritten any files that might have been on there.

Wait, I thought you could.

So I, if I play the game, I put a game in and I put the game on the desk.

I don't know how to get into the storage of the gaming systems.

But then I've also, since I've been talking with you, I've been thinking, well, maybe this guy had

an error because he was a financial guy.

Most financial people would have crypto.

Okay.

And I think, well, we're in and if he's in jail and his reference manager,

he throws that all his shit, which is kind of what I think happened.

I think you're like a billionaire.

Well, you're going to have to open those things up and pull the hard drives out if you want to check.

Oh, yeah, I don't know how to do that.

See, it's easy.

You can get a screwdriver and open it up and pull the hard drive out.

Oh, I guess they do it on laptops.

I've done that on laptops before, I guess.

I don't know.

I can do it if you want to.

Yeah.

I, you'll take all like, you're like, no, there's nothing on here.

And I was like, Dave comes over next week with gold sunglasses, gold teeth,

like hair extensions and shit, and driving up.

What's your dream car?

I already own my dream car.

Is it a dream car?

Yeah, it's a piece of shit.

He literally buys a derorated from Back to the Future and he's just like throwing garbage in there

to drive around in.

So, no, I just thought about that.

So I saw him tell that story.

But yeah, because there's a, I have a couple of box, I don't know, I have weird shit.

We can look if you want, but I mean, there's nothing hard.

Really?

Yeah.

Oh, but I don't trust you.

I mean, I can do it while I'm here.

No, don't.

I think you can do it right in front of me.

I'd be like, you'd be like, God, there's nothing here.

Transfer.

If he has good passwords on any files that are there, then I would be able to get in any.

Okay.

So he bought me, yeah, whatever.

So that was my story.

Because you, well, because I found it in a dumpster.

Yeah.

And you said you could find something in a dumpster.

Yeah.

I thought about that.

There you go.

So yeah, this, so that's, that's into my story.

I do want to mention one thing before we leave.

Israel did attack Iran tonight.

It's Thursday night.

You'll be seeing this.

Yeah, don't they do that all the time though?

No, this is legit.

Yeah, we'll see.

This could be a problem.

It could be a problem.

They missile, they bomb their nuclear sites in Iran.

So, Trump doesn't support what Ben Yahu did.

It won't fucking do the same business.

But we have military bases over there.

If Iran thinks we were a part of this, if they bomb our military bases,

it could be a problem for us.

So I want to hope for the best.

There you go.

I did want to bring it up since we said that it happened today.

Yeah.

I am a little concerned about it.

And if we get into that war, I just hope we make Iran a glass factory.

I mean, the problem is-

Wow, men, Israel a glass factory.

They're the ones fucking doing all this shit.

I would prefer that.

That'll never happen.

We should cut all ties to Israel right now.

I truly believe that.

They are jeopardizing our safety in our country at this point.

I'm not happy about it.

So, but it's a no win situation for Trump.

He's, he has high numbers right now.

He has, even with all this shit going on in LA,

his approval ratings are to the roof right now.

This could, this could be a big deal.

So.

See, this week, if there is a-

If there is a, well, no, no, we have,

so we have World War III possibly starting today.

But then this week, we have the civil war probably beginning to start.

Because of all the protests on King's Day.

So, so we could be in a civil war and then a war with

Iran, but then China would probably get involved with Iran.

That's like the-

But then Mexico has been aligning themselves with China.

That's like how World War I was.

So like, for Russia, they had a civil war,

while World War I was going on.

Really?

Yeah, that's when the most things took over.

Oh, fuck.

The country took over.

All right.

I hope to see you guys next week.

I don't know if we will, but it's all good.

See ya.

See ya.
