• 0:15Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 0:15Matt McCusker?

  I mean, I woke up today and I was like, can I just bring, you know? Can I just have a good time today? Can I leave myself alone and just have a good time?

• 0:23Speaker 02

  Matt, thank you for bringing us to your good time forum.

• 0:25Matt McCusker?

  Thank you.

• 0:26Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, I appreciate that, man. The vibes are already incredible.

• 0:29Matt McCusker?

  Vibes are pretty good. That's the biggest thing, it's like, every morning I wake up and I have to wrangle the vibe. It's so easy to wake, I've like been identifying my just default negative pattern every morning and it, I will admit that, um, I love my wife to death, but she is at the, I like will place her at the center of a negative storm, it's so, anything she does. It's just me, because I've addicted myself to nicotine now and I wake up so mad. This is a huge mistake to get addicted to nicotine, I don't know why I did this. They were lying, it's such an addictive substance.

• 1:01Speaker 02

  You were trying to prove a point, you've been trying to prove this point for so many years and you finally fall a victim.

• 1:05Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, but it doesn't like, yeah, the thing is, it gives you like the boost initially is sick and then that goes away, then you're just grumpy if you don't have it. You're like, I wish my wife would get out of bed a little faster. I'm a fucking motherfucker, what do I have to do every day?

• 1:22Matt McCusker?

  I'm about to put their shoes on, alright? You put their fucking shoes on.

• 1:27Matt McCusker?

  And then I go, Matt, you're being a fucking bitch, go get your nicotine tablet and relax.

• 1:32Speaker 02

  Sounds like you're being a woke ass, dude.

• 1:34Matt McCusker?

  What's a woke ass?

• 1:34Speaker 02

  Hey, Wes, he hates the woke ass.

• 1:36Speaker 03

  Woke ass?

• 1:36Matt McCusker?

  How am I woke ass?

• 1:40Matt McCusker?

  What are you talking about right now, dude? How dare you? Don't make me, don't make me put my shit on right now, dude. Don't make me put my leather fit on right now, I'll fucking fuck the vibe up, dude. I'll put my leather fucking hat on right now.

• 1:55Speaker 03

  We were listening to that today on the way in here.

• 1:58Matt McCusker?

  It's so good.

• 1:59Speaker 03

  It's so funny when he called, I forget the designer's name, he's like, he's one of them.

• 2:03Matt McCusker?

  Virgil?

• 2:04Speaker 03

  Uh, not Virgil.

• 2:05Matt McCusker?

  Okay.

• 2:06Speaker 03

  It was somebody else.

• 2:07Matt McCusker?

  He's beefing with the dead man.

• 2:08Speaker 03

  Yeah, he's beefing with Virgil now?

• 2:09Matt McCusker?

  He's still beefing with Virgil, academics try to be like, you know, you shouldn't beef. Him trying to bring like, when academics tries to like, bring the conversation to a, it's just, it's like, he's like, well, they say you shouldn't beef with the dead. It's like, dude, that's.

• 2:22Speaker 03

  That's not what you're here for.

• 2:23Matt McCusker?

  That's a leash of this guy's, yeah.

• 2:26Matt McCusker?

  That's your issue right now, him beefing with the dead Virgil.

• 2:28Speaker 02

  Academics was the worst part of that interview, I think.

• 2:30Matt McCusker?

  You think so?

• 2:31Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:31Matt McCusker?

  I.

• 2:32Speaker 03

  I liked the beginning where he was just like explaining everything and he was trying to, he was like, this is all chaos, but we're gonna figure it out. And then he gets there.

• 2:38Speaker 02

  But when he's sitting in his room?

• 2:40Speaker 03

  Just sitting there, well, he's just sitting there, he's just watching like him go through the whole thing, like just live recording Kanye, just being like, alright, where you want me to stay at?

• 2:47Matt McCusker?

  That was, I did appreciate him capturing them Kanye in a, you know, patented leather. What do you even call the outfit? It's not a Klan outfit, it's like a, well, it is actually, it's definitely a Klan outfit.

• 2:58Speaker 02

  I gotta, I gotta make a correction, I think the black makes a Dia de los Muertos.

• 3:03Speaker 03

  What is, the day of the dead?

• 3:04Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 3:05Matt McCusker?

  No, it doesn't at all.

• 3:06Speaker 02

  It does, dude.

• 3:07Speaker 03

  I think it's still just a Klan outfit.

• 3:08Speaker 02

  Dia de los Muertos costumes look exactly like that.

• 3:11Matt McCusker?

  So that's the thing, and so does, um, god, there's a, there's a country, like a Scandinavian country, believe it or not, that wears those. But there's like a Swiss, they, like before the KKK started, that like, we were at a, um.

• 3:23Speaker 02

  Swiss ghosts.

• 3:24Matt McCusker?

  I was at like a, when I was looking for schools, I was at one of the school interviews or like, you know, they, they sit you down, which the school's gotta figure this out. You like, when you go to visit schools, a lot of them put you into a, like an auditorium or cafeteria and just hit you with a, the, like, the most boring PowerPoint in the world. And the one school was like, we like, you know, we have people from all over the country or all over the world, and they showed this like Scandinavian country doing their thing. And one of the people were wearing like, for real, looked like a Klan. I gotta stop doing this, okay? They had, they had that shit on, they were wearing it.

• 3:55Speaker 02

  That's a new symbol.

• 3:56Matt McCusker?

  Well, it's an ancient.

• 3:59Matt McCusker?

  It is like the, um, it's like the swastika, and like it, that like crazy hat existed way before the KKK, it's like a, I don't know.

• 4:07Speaker 02

  He called on nose powers too.

• 4:09Matt McCusker?

  What?

• 4:09Speaker 02

  The flooded out swastika, he called on nose powers.

• 4:11Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah, yeah, he had those.

• 4:12Matt McCusker?

  I forgot it was a swastika, and I did in the interview, I was like, damn, that chant, and I was like.

• 4:17Matt McCusker?

  Forgot.

• 4:18Speaker 02

  On both sides, man.

• 4:19Matt McCusker?

  I know, he's been complicating things.

• 4:22Speaker 03

  He called somebody an agreeable Kamala nigga.

• 4:26Matt McCusker?

  Devastating. Devastating. Was that who you were talking about?

• 4:29Speaker 03

  Yeah, I can't remember the guy.

• 4:31Speaker 02

  J C, John Legend, John Legend and his hot sweaters.

• 4:37Speaker 03

  Said he wears a sweater in August.

• 4:39Matt McCusker?

  I mean, why don't we just give him a Netflix special?

• 4:42Speaker 03

  Let him rip.

• 4:43Matt McCusker?

  Let him rip. I could watch him.

• 4:45Speaker 02

  You give Kanye one hundred million dollars in thirty minutes, he's cooking everybody.

• 4:50Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, but you gotta keep that on track. That goes off. He goes off the rails and you're kinda like, wait, what are you talking about?

• 4:55Speaker 03

  Yeah, there was moments where I was just like, damn.

• 4:59Speaker 02

  He'll bring it back.

• 4:59Speaker 03

  He's not doing a bit. I was really hoping he was doing a bit. I think the last time we talked about it, I was like, he's doing a bit. Listen to that.

• 5:06Matt McCusker?

  I, again, I can't predict what's, I can't like, you know, I can only guess what's going on in another person's mind, but I do, you know, and I don't know, it's one of those things where it's like, if you think about it in a hundred fifty years from now, people might be like, damn, that was like, kind of in some weird way genius to transcend all of the symbols of like hate and embody them and twist them in a weird way, but for now,

• 5:31Matt McCusker?

  I don't know, you gotta be into that like hundred year genius stuff. Is there's people who do stuff that a hundred years from now, we'll be in a totally different context, like damn, he was like, everyone might be dressed like that. That might be the future quote.

• 5:40Speaker 02

  He's gonna get castrated like Plato, isn't he? Didn't Socrates or Plato get castrated?

• 5:45Matt McCusker?

  Socrates got poisoned. He didn't get castrated.

• 5:47Speaker 02

  He's gonna get poisoned like Socrates.

• 5:49Matt McCusker?

  Socrates had a huge dick.

• 5:51Speaker 03

  They weren't getting rid of that.

• 5:52Speaker 02

  So I heard about Kanye too. You heard about, uh, Iggy Azalea did an interview with Kanye? And Kanye went over to Iggy who was like, is your boyfriend fucking other people? And she's like, what? And he was like, does he got a big dick?

• 6:04Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 6:05Speaker 02

  And she was like, what? And he was like, if your boyfriend got a big dick, you gotta let him fuck other people. And he started laughing at her.

• 6:10Speaker 03

  That was recent?

• 6:11Speaker 02

  Yeah. Well, Iggy Azalea said that recently.

• 6:14Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, well, no, the thing was, he was telling her, and apparently it's not even allegedly, because he apparently admitted to this, he was saying, I masturbate to your photographs every day. And then she tried to like blast him and he just retweeted it, went, true.

• 6:30Speaker 02

  Beast.

• 6:31Matt McCusker?

  I mean, the polls are flipping. And then you have, uh, I was thinking about this recently. Do you guys know 1-900 Rug Rat?

• 6:36Speaker 02

  No.

• 6:37Matt McCusker?

  He goes, "Cracker." He's a white rapper, but he's, they're like, "He's taking back the word." And it's like, dude. In his raps, you go, so you have Jin Lee, who is going full bore. He helps himself. He's a white rapper who utilizes the N-word in his raps. Yeah, he's picking out, but you know, whatever. Some people like him.

• 6:54Speaker 02

  He stays on business.

• 6:55Speaker 03

  He was throwing hands down here, door south by.

• 6:57Matt McCusker?

  He's been fighting all the teenagers. He's, he's a menace to black teenagers. It's like, I always see the clips, like, he knocked, Jin Lee's knocked a guy out in the mall. It's just him fighting 14-year-old black teenagers.

• 7:09Matt McCusker?

  Which, hey, man, look.

• 7:11Speaker 02

  The thing about 14-year-old black teenagers is they always get their revenge, and then they go to jail and come back as old men.

• 7:16Matt McCusker?

  True. That's a fair point. I mean, here's the thing. I mean, you could feel however you feel about, and again, look it up if you don't know who we're talking about. Jin Lee, he's a Dallas rapper. He's a big guy.

• 7:27Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 7:27Matt McCusker?

  You feel how you feel about him rapping and as a white guy and using the N-word. However, I feel like, you know, if you zoom out, he could be, like, we could turn all the mall security, if he could train mall security.

• 7:39Speaker 03

  Just to beat up kids?

• 7:40Matt McCusker?

  Mall security been like, it was, it became just like big white guys that like, you know, cool, like, you know, kind of, I guess, a semi-respectful way, utilize the N-word.

• 7:49Matt McCusker?

  We could get the malls under.

• 7:51Speaker 03

  I love that. In a semi-respectful way.

• 7:54Matt McCusker?

  You know, he's not like using it hateful. He's just.

• 7:55Speaker 03

  No, he's, he's, he's using it like he grew up with black people.

• 7:58Speaker 02

  You know, niggas get out of here.

• 8:00Matt McCusker?

  Or be like, "Come on, right now."

• 8:03Matt McCusker?

  People, I'm sorry, there's maybe two, 20% of people, I think, have any idea what we're talking about.

• 8:07Speaker 02

  You gotta wait for like, uh, for like, when they're real bad.

• 8:11Matt McCusker?

  What do you mean?

• 8:11Speaker 02

  Like, security. Like, you gotta watch them running away with stuff. You're like, "You ain't nothing but some..."

• 8:18Matt McCusker?

  I don't know. Maybe not. But, now that I think about this, maybe not.

• 8:22Speaker 03

  That's like, bad idea.

• 8:26Matt McCusker?

  But yeah, the uh, I have been, I've been following a lot of the, I still have, ever since I fell into like the uh, Adam 22 no jumper hole. Now I just know to, apparently he's-

• 8:35Speaker 02

  He's a fed dude.

• 8:36Matt McCusker?

  He get arrested, what happened?

• 8:37Speaker 02

  He got arrested by the FBI.

• 8:38Matt McCusker?

  So how's he a fed if he got arrested unless it's super deep undercover work? But they got him like recently?

• 8:42Speaker 02

  Yeah, maybe like last week.

• 8:43Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, apparently they all, but it could just be, I don't know, like, you think it's like, he could be easily subpoenaed in some other weird Rico case. He's involved in like all the weird rap.

• 8:52Speaker 02

  He knows everybody.

• 8:53Matt McCusker?

  Yeah. I did, well, why would he be a fed if he got arrested? That's my only-

• 8:57Speaker 02

  Could be a friend.

• 8:59Matt McCusker?

  Could be a fake arrest?

• 9:00Speaker 02

  You have it reported in a while.

• 9:01Matt McCusker?

  When they do a controlled buy and you're like the guy and they arrest you too, just as a thing?

• 9:04Speaker 02

  Yeah, this doesn't help um, this doesn't help Billy's Shane CIA thing.

• 9:11Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, true. Actually dude, keep that in the wraps.

• 9:17Matt McCusker?

  I've been compromised as well.

• 9:20Matt McCusker?

  CIA's finally looked at my web history and compromised.

• 11:09Speaker 04

  Incredible.

• 11:10Matt McCusker?

  Every time I look at porn, I'm like, it's coming, one day they're gonna be like, hey buddy, I'm like, yep, yep, I've been waiting for you guys.

• 11:15Speaker 03

  That's been my theory my whole life, not my whole life, but in the last like ten years, is they will know all your porn history, that's why I just started talking about all the porn.

• 11:22Matt McCusker?

  Your descendants, I swear to God, ancestry.com, I was just talking about this, ancestry.com, that's gonna be a feature, it'll be genetic test, who are your relatives, also.

• 11:31Speaker 03

  Porn history?

• 11:32Matt McCusker?

  Here's all what your grandfather was into, because that could be like a crazy, like, I don't know, maybe they could be like, based on your family history, this porn might be appealing to you.

• 11:42Speaker 03

  That'll change.

• 11:42Speaker 04

  Super algorithm, like a deep genetic algorithm.

• 11:45Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, like you, there's like three hundred years of data to suggest you might be into step play, or, you know.

• 11:52Speaker 02

  That'll change, that would change family dynamics all over the country.

• 11:56Matt McCusker?

  What do you mean, how so?

• 11:57Speaker 02

  Like, can you imagine just finding out your grandpa, like, gay porn, then your dad would be pissed, and then you'd be pissed.

• 12:05Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, but no one would be pissed, because you, your shit's all out there.

• 12:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 12:08Matt McCusker?

  So it's like, yeah, you could try, but the thing, they could be like, yeah, you're looking at that gay shit, grandpa, he could be like, pull your shit up and be like,

• 12:17Matt McCusker?

  whoa, what's up with this sister stuff, bro, he's like, yo, chill, fuck it.

• 12:20Speaker 02

  Chill, grandpa.

• 12:21Speaker 03

  Chill, she's in the room.

• 12:24Speaker 05

  Adam twenty-two got arrested for Big U Henley's Rico case and Nipsey Hussle's tragic passing.

• 12:29Matt McCusker?

  That's what I heard.

• 12:30Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 12:31Matt McCusker?

  And if, I mean, it kind of makes sense, because apparently, they say that, and this was, I forget who said this, maybe Charleston White, but they, they say that it was actually like the Roland, or like the Crips, that. Shot. That's what Charleston White was saying.

• 12:44Speaker 03

  The shot nips?

• 12:45Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, it was like his own gang got jailed. So that's what he said again.

• 12:49Speaker 03

  They're saying it's not the guy for like the original story? Cause wasn't the original story like he was beefing with? I think he like, the story I heard when it happened was there was like a guy they were all cool with who got caught snitching or something. They were like, you can't hang with us no more. You're done. And then he came back salty. Like, and they saw him walking up and they're like, here he comes again with this shit and shot him. Cause, but they were thinking like, maybe like if one of us just came up to you after we were beefing and just were like, I'm spazzing now. You're not gonna think at all that we're about to actually do something that crazy to.

• 13:18Matt McCusker?

  Maybe. I don't know.

• 13:19Speaker 03

  That was the OG story. It was like a friend that wasn't a friend no more.

• 13:23Matt McCusker?

  A friend of me.

• 13:24Speaker 03

  Yeah, a friend of me. Was able to get too close because they still have friend like energy.

• 13:29Matt McCusker?

  Thing. Yeah, I don't know, man. They did a cool handshake and he's like, ha ha!

• 13:34Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 13:36Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I don't know, man. The internet is.

• 13:37Speaker 03

  There was video of it when it happened.

• 13:40Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I thought so.

• 13:40Speaker 02

  There was. Yeah.

• 13:42Matt McCusker?

  I mean, it's, it was only a matter of time before he got like some sort of law enforcement crackdown on that show.

• 13:47Speaker 03

  Who? On nips?

• 13:48Matt McCusker?

  No, on, on, no jumper.

• 13:50Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 13:51Matt McCusker?

  Guys on there being like, yo, I can't really talk about it, but we definitely did something really fucked up to that guy, but I don't want to really talk about it. It's like, okay, you're fucking copy. They have you on camera near a murder scene. You're like, yo, I can't really say what we did, but uh, yeah, we definitely handled business.

• 14:06Matt McCusker?

  You're gonna get arrested, dude.

• 14:07Speaker 02

  Dude, I saw a meme that said, every rapper from the 2010s is dead now. Like, all the like drill rappers, they're pretty much dead.

• 14:15Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 14:15Speaker 02

  Yeah. Adolph, King Von.

• 14:18Matt McCusker?

  It's a bad business model, man. It's a bad, yeah, it's a bad thing to be like, I mean, if you really, if you really boil down the business model, it's like, if it turns out you're not an actual murderer, it's like people are like.

• 14:28Speaker 03

  Yeah. I, I remember being a kid and finding out like certain rappers wasn't for real and it was just like, it made me so sad.

• 14:35Matt McCusker?

  If you think about it, and it's like, why? Cause they didn't murder like a fucking teenager?

• 14:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah. Like, as an adult, you're like, that was dumb, but it used to bum me out.

• 14:44Matt McCusker?

  I was the same way. I was like, dude, if you guys didn't fucking sell crack and murder people, I don't want to hear about anything.

• 14:49Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah. This is all bullshit. You're not talking real murder.

• 14:54Matt McCusker?

  It's true.

• 14:56Matt McCusker?

  But yeah, right now I'm on, I'm on, I'm on 1900 Rugrats. He's been saying cracker. Popping pill is cracker.

• 15:03Speaker 03

  It just started bothering y'all, I think, right?

• 15:07Matt McCusker?

  Nobody's ever cared.

• 15:08Speaker 03

  That's what I thought. That's what I'm so like, the taking it back is like, I thought that was like, it used to make me jealous. How much y'all could just not feel that.

• 15:18Matt McCusker?

  That's kind of our whole been our whole thing through the arc of history. We just kind of ignore horrible things and we're like, bah.

• 15:26Speaker 03

  Just get to work.

• 15:27Matt McCusker?

  That's why people super power to be like, I don't feel anything about this.

• 15:30Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 15:32Speaker 02

  My family's okay.

• 15:35Matt McCusker?

  But no, I don't think anyone's ever really gotten mad. I feel like, here's the thing, I feel like if, I don't know, I'm gonna, I'm just throwing this theory out there, but I feel like if you, the angrier you get about being called cracker. It might could be a litmus test for like, how much you personally use the N word. Cause if you're enjoying that, I could be wrong, but if, I mean, if you're like, you know, if you're helping yourself and then someone flipped the table on you, but hey.

• 15:57Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 15:58Matt McCusker?

  I don't like this, but if you're, I don't know, I could be wrong. Actually, that doesn't make sense, cause I, you know.

• 16:03Speaker 03

  Cause I feel like if you've been, if you've been throwing it out there, you're like, well, we're even now. I got a couple.

• 16:08Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I'm trying to, I actually discredit myself, cause I'm thinking like in my own personal life. Yeah, nevermind.

• 16:16Matt McCusker?

  It's funny, man. Yeah, people, I had someone trying to explain to, um, my, my cousin was actually doing a podcast for a while with like, uh, my cousin's a white dude and he was doing a podcast with like an older black dude and they, they would just like, the whole thing was supposedly like, we're from different races and we're kind of, you know, like, we're, we're seeing eye to eye on things or whatever, sharing our experiences and, uh, he was like telling, my cousin was telling the black guy, he was like, yeah, well, he's like, I think it's getting better racially. He's like, you know, like, people don't really use the N word. Like, a lot of white people don't really use the N word like that anymore. And he was like, who the fuck? He's like, people just say it all the time. The guy was like, what? And he was like, well, I mean, not like that, but like.

• 16:54Speaker 02

  He's not, your cousin isn't on the internet. Black guys are letting it fly all along.

• 16:59Matt McCusker?

  I know, it's come back. It has come back strong. Which again, again, it's like, you know, if you zoom out time wise, it's like, it could be, and it's uncomfortable, but it could be the thing that somehow in some weird way like de-charges, you know? Cause if you're, if you're swimming, if you're in a swarm of just online N words, eventually it is going to dull its effect. You can't afford that.

• 17:21Speaker 03

  I would love to.

• 17:22Matt McCusker?

  Do you let go if you opened up X and it was just every line? Eventually you go, alright.

• 17:32Speaker 02

  The problem with the N word, if I can come, if I can add some intelligence to this forum, I don't think the problem is that white people are saying it. It's the problem is that people expect black people to act on.

• 17:43Matt McCusker?

  That's what I'm saying.

• 17:44Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's what sucks.

• 17:45Speaker 02

  That's the problem that sucks.

• 17:46Matt McCusker?

  That's what I'm saying. You have to.

• 17:48Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 17:48Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, you have to do something.

• 17:49Speaker 02

  People will be like, what are you, a bitch?

• 17:51Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's like, no, I just had shit to do later on that day. Get all worked up.

• 17:56Matt McCusker?

  I get it. It is. It's quite the conundrum, man. Because you can't, yeah, if you don't do anything, then it's like, damn, this guy's a fucking bitch.

• 18:01Speaker 03

  And then, I'm not gonna lie, you will feel like one later. Like, I would go home and be like, ah.

• 18:06Matt McCusker?

  And it is, it kind of is, it is a pass to like, you can sock somebody in the face and the internet will be like, sweet.

• 18:13Speaker 03

  Internet might be like sweet, but if it gets like further and it's like, wow, now I got an assault charge. Because it's still not legally, like, you can't, like, on paper, you can't just sock somebody and then go about your day if they go, I got your license plate or whatever.

• 18:26Speaker 02

  Unless you sock, say it, and then sock them, that's a hate crime.

• 18:30Speaker 03

  Like, what do you mean, if they say it and sock me?

• 18:31Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 18:32Speaker 03

  But what if they just say it?

• 18:33Speaker 02

  I mean.

• 18:34Speaker 03

  And then I sock.

• 18:34Speaker 02

  And they're like, crack it, and then, that's a hate crime.

• 18:37Speaker 03

  I could level up my own crime.

• 18:38Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 18:39Matt McCusker?

  I don't know. I don't, yeah, I don't know. I don't know the, I don't know what would happen. I guess you probably would get arrested.

• 18:45Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 18:46Matt McCusker?

  If like, a guy, I don't know, if a guy screams it at you, I think now you can be like, I was defending myself, I felt unsafe.

• 18:52Speaker 03

  What if he whispers it, though? Just like, nah, nah, he's not being actually threatening. He's just, it's you with a.

• 18:58Speaker 02

  A whisper is action. A whisper, you gotta take action.

• 19:01Speaker 03

  A whisper, well, he's gotta be close, like, what if he just mouths it? From across the street.

• 19:06Matt McCusker?

  That's tough. That's, you can't do anything, you can't prove it.

• 19:08Speaker 02

  That's a sniper shot.

• 19:09Matt McCusker?

  Dude, I had a guy, I had a homeless guy try to, when I was in Philly, a long, long time ago, it was part of his whole thing, where he would like, come up to you on South Street and be like, hey, can I get some money? And I was like, no. And he literally waited till other black people were coming. He goes, this guy just called me the fuck, I can't believe he called me the N word. And I was like, bro, nice try. Nice try. But it was also, it was like, a sick move, but.

• 19:28Speaker 03

  Did anybody seem to, did they buy it?

• 19:30Matt McCusker?

  No, they were walking, because also, I was just like, bro, whatever, man. I was like, get out of here. And they just like, kind of laughed and walked by. I was like, that was kind of a nice move.

• 19:37Speaker 02

  And I'm straight negro. He just chill.

• 19:39Matt McCusker?

  We're outside of the Haagen Dazs. I was like, getting Haagen Dazs too, and I'm like, bro, you kind of got me dead. This is the headquarters.

• 19:49Matt McCusker?

  God damn dude.

• 19:50Speaker 03

  How long, how long was he standing by you before black people showed up that he could hit you?

• 19:53Matt McCusker?

  It was like, they were like at the very end or like a block and a half away. So he kinda was like, come on, man, come on, man. I'm like, dude, for real. I was just trying to enjoy some ice cream before I went to the Laugh House.

• 20:02Speaker 03

  He's plod for, you're about to go to the blackest place?

• 20:05Matt McCusker?

  I know.

• 20:08Matt McCusker?

  He was one of like, he was like one of the turtle skeletons outside of Bowser's Palace.

• 20:17Matt McCusker?

  But yeah, man, I was actually, uh, I was, I was in a minority position recently. I recently, uh, last weekend, I had to go to a western themed, but did I tell you guys I was going to a western themed party? So my wife has somehow fallen in with, uh, I didn't even know this term before. You know what wags are? Wives and girlfriends of athletes?

• 20:36Speaker 03

  Okay, no.

• 20:37Matt McCusker?

  So she was, she kept saying like wags. I'm like, I don't know what you're talking about. But it was, they were just like a bunch of, uh, athletes and they're having like a western themed party. So I've never got to dress like a cowboy before and I was so excited. I was like, dude, I've always wanted to just like see what happened. Which, you know, again, like speaking of outfits and them like, you know, feeling the power of them. I dressed like a cowboy and it for it like, I understand like the whole Garth Brooks alter persona thing now. Like I dressed like a cow, first of all. Wildly, I took it way too far in terms of dressing like a cowboy. I thought every-

• 21:07Speaker 03

  Compared to everyone?

• 21:08Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, pretty much. I, I was way, I had turquoise cowboy boots tucked in.

• 21:12Speaker 03

  Did you have spurs?

• 21:13Matt McCusker?

  Turquoise, no spurs, I wish. But I was cowboyed like insanely turquoise. Yeah, oh yeah. Turquoise, bolo pendant, turquoise. I was, it was sick as hell and I felt good, but then I showed up at the party and it's like, I was. And, and I was definitely one of the only, one of the only at first, but then became, there was like another, there's like maybe one or two other white guys. But you're, when you're like the only white guy or when you're in a white guy minority position, you, you, I never, my policy is you can't talk to the other white guys. It's the opposite. I know black people see each other like, what's up? Can't even be seen to be like supper. I just ignore them. I'm like, dude, no.

• 21:48Speaker 02

  Want to be talking to other white guys in cowboy costumes?

• 21:52Matt McCusker?

  And I was, I was fully decked out, but I was just like, I just felt weird because I was fully dressed up. I'm not a, you know, I'm not a social all star anyway. And I ended up getting like pretty drunk. I just started crushing.

• 22:02Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 22:02Matt McCusker?

  Ranch waters and then I was ready to socialize and it's like, man, I'm still working on it. I'll go up to like groups of like younger dudes and be like, first of all, I was, I didn't realize how many drinks I had. So I go to talk and like.

• 22:14Matt McCusker?

  Completely fucked my first four words up. And I don't, I don't remember what I was saying, but like, I just remember very quickly people being like, oh shit, man. All right. Like just being like, well, all right.

• 22:25Speaker 03

  Damn it, dude. I blew it.

• 22:27Matt McCusker?

  But dude, I felt good. Getting drunk in a cowboy costume is, I, I just, I had no idea that I liked that.

• 22:32Speaker 02

  Sports teams.

• 22:34Matt McCusker?

  Huh?

• 22:34Speaker 02

  What's sports teams?

• 22:36Matt McCusker?

  What do you mean?

• 22:37Speaker 02

  There's only one sports team out here.

• 22:39Matt McCusker?

  No, they're just like, you know, traveling athletes. Uh, yeah. So it was like, they're from different sports teams.

• 22:44Speaker 03

  What was the, what was the food like? That seems like you doing cowboy. Yeah. It had to be top shelf barbecue.

• 22:50Matt McCusker?

  Eating beans, brother.

• 22:51Speaker 03

  Or did, how would I, like, what was the level? If you were at like a, you say a 10 for your dress?

• 22:56Matt McCusker?

  I would say, yeah.

• 22:56Speaker 03

  What was everybody else at? Number wise?

• 22:59Matt McCusker?

  Four.

• 22:59Speaker 03

  Four, just like a hat?

• 23:00Matt McCusker?

  Couple of fives and sixes. Thank God. But yeah, it was, oh, I had, I also had, yeah, I had a turquoise straw cap.

• 23:06Speaker 03

  It was a straw cap?

• 23:07Matt McCusker?

  No, it was a straw cap with like a little thing in the middle. It was, it was so fucking sick. But yeah, that was a, um, that was a weird experience, man. Cause I'm, I'm not the best socially. And you toss me in an outfit where I'm standing out and it's like, I really had to fight through that. And I did like a coward with alcohol, but.

• 23:25Speaker 03

  Did you, were you in character the whole time? Like?

• 23:27Matt McCusker?

  I couldn't help it, dude. I, I literally couldn't help just being like, sitting there and being like, yeah.

• 23:33Speaker 02

  You guys have to, I have to go really bad.

• 23:35Speaker 03

  You have to shit?

• 23:36Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 23:36Speaker 03

  Damn.

• 23:37Speaker 02

  It's needs coffee.

• 23:38Matt McCusker?

  You gotta shit?

• 23:39Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 23:39Matt McCusker?

  Go on, bro.

• 23:42Speaker 03

  It's espresso. Do you usually fuck with espresso? Oh, man.

• 23:46Matt McCusker?

  We get some audio from the bathroom?

• 23:50Matt McCusker?

  It's this one over here, where you going? Where you going, Lemaire? No, man, get the fuck over there.

• 23:57Matt McCusker?

  Cross your tongue and take it across the street dump?

• 23:59Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's, the bathroom's not that close.

• 24:02Matt McCusker?

  It's not.

• 24:03Speaker 03

  Like, to have to run, this is gonna be nuts.

• 24:05Matt McCusker?

  I know.

• 24:05Speaker 03

  He's got some crazy brewing in there.

• 24:09Matt McCusker?

  Dude, the fact that he needed to, like, leave the building. Go take a shit, man.

• 24:13Speaker 05

  It's gonna echo.

• 24:15Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I wanna hear it.

• 24:17Matt McCusker?

  Lemaire, Lemaire, just let it go, man. Don't be scared.

• 24:21Speaker 03

  I, I feel bad now. I mean, I, I was, I was all hype. I got an espresso machine, so I just had, like, the pods. I made, I made us some espressos. I was like, get us woke it up.

• 24:31Matt McCusker?

  Dude, that, that little Nespresso pod is a, is, uh, you know, straw in the camel's back in terms of Lemaire's digestive upset.

• 24:38Speaker 03

  True. Like, you, like, I know this is the worst thing he did.

• 24:41Matt McCusker?

  That's not, yeah.

• 24:42Speaker 03

  He just didn't get his morning crap out. He blamed it on my coffee, but he just didn't get his morning crap out.

• 24:49Matt McCusker?

  That is gotta be like, you know, when you watch Peaky Blinders and you see like the industrial goings on in the town, that's, that's Lemaire's.

• 24:58Speaker 03

  Smoke, blue collar guts, smoke.

• 25:01Matt McCusker?

  Smoking car.

• 25:02Speaker 03

  Covered in soot.

• 25:04Matt McCusker?

  Let's take a break, wait for Lemaire to come back. Guys, Verdansk is back in Call of Duty Warzone right now. It has an iconic map with popular POIs, and we, we love POIs. We have popular POIs like Superstore, Hospital, oh, and the Prison. I love the Prison. Perfect for both OG and new players. Experience intense battles, iconic landmarks, and thrilling moments. And it also has gameplay updates and Verdansk-era weaponry. Dude, I remember the old weapons in Verdansk. Holy shit. Dude, get your squad together and drop in for the epic action.

• 25:44Matt McCusker?

  Call of Duty Warzone, it's free to download and you can drop into the action today. It's rated M for mature, but guys, I mean, we're gonna drop in to the Verdansk map. It's so iconic and legendary. And again, it's perfect for OGs like myself or new players like you guys. And we're gonna have some intense battles. You guys, I can't wait to see you out there in the Verdansk map. So, get on out there, M for mature. Back to the show.

• 26:12Speaker 03

  We lost Lemaire.

• 26:13Matt McCusker?

  We lost him, dude. Lost him to the bowl.

• 26:17Speaker 03

  I hope he's, I'll wait.

• 26:20Matt McCusker?

  All right, fired back up. We're live again. Yeah, we tried to wait for La Mer to take a dump, but it's been at least, what would you say, fifteen?

• 26:27Speaker 03

  It's gotta be fifteen. Now I'm worried about it. I'm worried he died in Elvis death in there.

• 26:31Matt McCusker?

  Oh.

• 26:32Speaker 03

  That's a, that's, that's.

• 26:34Matt McCusker?

  Stay tuned to find out if La Mer is dead on the toilet.

• 26:37Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 26:37Matt McCusker?

  That'd be, I mean, I, yeah, I'd be sad if he died on the toilet, but imagine.

• 26:40Speaker 03

  That's a hundred percent.

• 26:41Matt McCusker?

  Imagine the feel at the end. If we're like, oh, oh, oh, oh, you open it up, he's just.

• 26:45Speaker 03

  Oh, shit.

• 26:46Matt McCusker?

  Fully dead over the toilet.

• 26:47Speaker 03

  Who's gonna wipe his ass? I'm gonna be upset he blamed it on my coffee.

• 26:49Matt McCusker?

  City, that's a city level, a city level.

• 26:53Matt McCusker?

  City, that guy, CSI or whatever will come in and find a tiny Nespresso pod and be like, holy shit. He had it. Dude, I did a, um, I did a podcast with Duncan Trussell recently and we, I'm still fucked up about this. We're looking up, you know, it was an age old question of like, how much cum is actually produced every day?

• 27:12Speaker 03

  Yeah, like amongst humanity?

• 27:14Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, and it's, it's ridiculous. It's staggering. But the, uh, we came across a statistic that it was about like, you know, porn usage. We're trying to figure out how many people are looking at porn, blah, blah, blah. And then just part of that was a stat where they're like, what percentage of people think child pornography should be illegal?

• 27:32Speaker 03

  Yeah, should be illegal or should be legal? Well, I guess either way, it was a.

• 27:36Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, pretty much. They framed it as illegal because I think that'd been kind of a crazy question. Like, yo, you, uh?

• 27:41Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 27:42Matt McCusker?

  So dude, what percentage of people do you think in America on this, on this, uh, you know, this one study claimed that it should be illegal?

• 27:49Speaker 03

  I'm gonna say ninety-five.

• 27:52Matt McCusker?

  It was like eighty-four, dude.

• 27:54Speaker 03

  Really? It was like twelve, fifteen, sixteen percent of people were like, it shouldn't be that bad.

• 28:00Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, dude, there was a fourteen percent people who answered, and that's just the people who are answering honestly.

• 28:04Speaker 03

  I wish he was here to defend this. You, you, you, he has some stances on this that he dies on.

• 28:12Matt McCusker?

  That's insane, by the way.

• 28:14Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 28:14Matt McCusker?

  If he's one of the fourteen percent, I'm gonna flip his podium.

• 28:17Speaker 03

  We had a whole conversation before about the people who beat them up, like who just beat those guys up. I think it's great. He, I mean, he, he makes a good point. You can't just be beating people up for crimes they didn't do yet. It's like the point, but it's like, that's, that's the war.

• 28:31Matt McCusker?

  I would argue that, I mean, again, it's like, I would argue that texting a 14 year old sexually is a crime.

• 28:38Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 28:39Matt McCusker?

  And if you can't, you know, say they're not going to go to jail, you should at least be able to punch them in the stomach as hard as possible.

• 28:45Speaker 03

  Just one gut shot?

• 28:46Matt McCusker?

  At, at least.

• 28:47Speaker 03

  Make them crap out?

• 28:48Matt McCusker?

  He's coming back. Here we go.

• 28:51Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I, I'd actually.

• 28:52Speaker 03

  He's gonna have no energy left. That, that one took out all of them.

• 28:55Matt McCusker?

  He might be light, he might be light on his feet. I, I, yeah, I would argue it is, the problem is, is when you get guys who are like, have Down syndrome and shit.

• 29:03Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 29:04Matt McCusker?

  Like that's, and then in that case, you shouldn't punch him in the stomach, but you, but they might need a little fucking.

• 29:10Speaker 03

  They gotta learn somehow, though. They still gotta, it's still, it's like, you, you teach them everything. Teach them how to dress. You teach them how to like, all the other shit. Like, you also gotta know not to DM kids, like.

• 29:19Matt McCusker?

  Exactly. Lemaire, we, we heard you have a, uh, so I'm gonna, I'm gonna hit you with this stat. I don't know if you heard it, but they were, we looked online. And apparently they did a study, or like a survey of people, like, should child pornography be illegal? And 14% of the people said, no, it should not be illegal. Yes, isn't that fucking nuts? And Nate really just said that you'd be fine with that, honestly.

• 29:41Speaker 03

  Yeah, I thought you, I thought you would be, I thought you'd be part of 14.

• 29:45Speaker 02

  No, that's way too high.

• 29:46Matt McCusker?

  That's way too high.

• 29:47Speaker 03

  Yeah, okay.

• 29:48Matt McCusker?

  I apologize. Nate was absolutely like.

• 29:50Speaker 03

  I threw you under the bus.

• 29:51Matt McCusker?

  I mean, like, under the bus, way under the bus.

• 29:54Speaker 02

  You're throwing, cause I don't think pedophiles should be beat up.

• 29:56Matt McCusker?

  Yes.

• 29:57Speaker 03

  That was the exact point I made.

• 29:58Matt McCusker?

  So, okay, just to clarify, yeah, Nate absolutely assassinated Lemaire.

• 30:04Speaker 02

  He poisoned me and then he tried to assassinate my character?

• 30:09Speaker 03

  I did, man, I did a nice thing. We were almost late. I made an extra, cause you, I.

• 30:15Matt McCusker?

  Thank you guys, yeah, for getting up early. You guys had, we had the Noctis show. That show was awesome, man.

• 30:18Speaker 03

  Thank you, thank you for coming. That show was fun.

• 30:20Matt McCusker?

  I was doing battle at the mothership, dude. We'll get, don't worry, we'll get back to child pornography. I was doing battle at the, I've been had a, I just had a bunch of women kind of like drunkenly uniting, not like that dramatically, but I had a couple of naysayers in the front and it was like, I hadn't done battle like that in a, for a while, because usually, you know, you do, you do, you know, material for like, fans of the podcast who actually like know where I'm coming from, but I, I'll hit, every now and again, I'll catch just like a regular person and hit him with, you know, some of my thoughts and like, I was watching him be like, oh my god, like I started questioning, I'm like, this is way too much.

• 30:57Speaker 03

  You got hit with one of those too.

• 30:59Speaker 02

  Oh yeah, one of the ladies went ew.

• 31:02Matt McCusker?

  Which one? Right up to the front?

• 31:05Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 31:06Speaker 03

  The lady with the glasses, that lady?

• 31:08Matt McCusker?

  I forget, it was like the lady at the very front.

• 31:11Speaker 03

  To like the right a little bit?

• 31:12Matt McCusker?

  Dude, then there was a lady back where, which like, I've encountered this energy before, so this lady in the front, she was just like a, you know, young married lady, just being a fucking bitch. Which is whatever, and then you had the lady, this is, I, I, I don't, I know, this is, this is uncomfortable, I kind of shared this with the crowd, my theory on this, I don't think anybody really liked it, but like, whenever there's like a mom and a dad and like a 20-ish, 22, 21-year-old son, the moms act out in a way. That tells me they're really like confusedly horny, that's.

• 31:44Speaker 02

  Like they're trying to impress your son?

• 31:46Matt McCusker?

  I don't know, like, I don't know what it is, but like, I've encountered the moms of like young twenties, and they're always like, diabolically, they strike me as, I don't know if I'm putting my shit on their situation.

• 31:57Speaker 03

  No.

• 31:57Matt McCusker?

  They strike me as like next level horny.

• 32:00Speaker 03

  I was in, and I, I feel bad because I feel like the borough is gonna hear this, but I was in Cleveland with Gardini, and afterwards we were hanging out with some people and like his mom was there.

• 32:09Matt McCusker?

  Gardini's, no.

• 32:09Speaker 03

  No, not. If Gardini's mom was being horny, I'd have locked that up to the dad.

• 32:16Matt McCusker?

  I just wanted to clarify, because you already threw LaVera to the bus.

• 32:19Speaker 03

  But.

• 32:21Matt McCusker?

  The lady was being horny.

• 32:21Speaker 03

  She was being horny, but not like, uh, she was being horny because we knew y'all and, and just saying some outlandish things about what she would do, but he's like as close as we are while she's saying like.

• 32:35Speaker 03

  Who she would do what to?

• 32:36Speaker 02

  What?

• 32:37Speaker 03

  Like that and it was like, it was kinda graphic. It was like, take a picture and tell him I'll do this. And it was like, I just wanted like a selfie with us and then also was like, send it to him and say.

• 32:47Speaker 02

  What'd she say?

• 32:48Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I'd like to know.

• 32:49Speaker 03

  She was like, I'll suck, I'll suck him off.

• 32:51Matt McCusker?

  Whoa.

• 32:52Speaker 03

  While he's like.

• 32:54Matt McCusker?

  Can you, can you say who?

• 32:55Speaker 03

  Uh, who she would suck?

• 32:57Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 32:57Speaker 03

  It was just, it was Shane. Suck Shane. She would suck Shane and uh.

• 33:01Matt McCusker?

  Would she let me watch?

• 33:03Speaker 03

  I'd probably suck you too. But she was, she was very specific about sending this to him, tell him I'll suck him.

• 33:10Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, we got a, one time we got a, uh, I forget, Brittany was doing, she does a lot of just like, organizes all of my stuff online. And she one time, for some reason, had to go into the podcast email to find something someone sent us. And she came across a picture of a lady's butthole to Shane.

• 33:28Speaker 02

  Nice.

• 33:29Matt McCusker?

  She was like, some lady just sent a picture of her butthole. And it was pretty funny, actually.

• 33:33Speaker 02

  You have to get more of that stuff.

• 33:35Speaker 03

  You have to be so confident, you asshole, to go butthole only pic.

• 33:40Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, that's pretty insane, actually.

• 33:42Speaker 02

  Was it clean?

• 33:43Matt McCusker?

  I didn't see it.

• 33:44Speaker 02

  Oh, okay.

• 33:44Matt McCusker?

  I didn't see the picture of the butthole. I'm pretty sure it was promptly.

• 33:49Matt McCusker?

  Safe search was on for sure. It was promptly deleted.

• 33:52Speaker 03

  Man, I wonder if it was like up close, like just asshole, if it was like cheek and.

• 33:56Matt McCusker?

  It has to be. Unless she set up like a timed photo and got the front was just like.

• 34:01Speaker 02

  Pulled the Jim Carrey out.

• 34:03Speaker 03

  Started doing a talking butt.

• 34:07Matt McCusker?

  But yeah, dude, the, the, I was doing battle and uh, it was kinda fun, honestly. It was fun and it, it was like, uh, it was, cause the lady was trying to like hit me on, like we, you know, we were talking about homelessness and she was trying to flex being like, I actually have a friend who's like, I know his name. And it was like, okay, like don't, that's such a weird flex, but I'm actually on a first name basis. It's like, bro, invite him in your house then. He doesn't need you being like, "Good morning, Mr. Blah blah blah."

• 34:34Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 34:35Matt McCusker?

  He wants a fucking house. He doesn't want any fucking, you know.

• 34:38Speaker 02

  I don't know if this wants this to be out there, but he had a harrowing scene. One of his childhood best friends were like homeless in Austin. Like, he hadn't seen him in like,

• 34:46Matt McCusker?

  What?

• 34:46Speaker 02

  Like fifteen years.

• 34:47Speaker 03

  I never told you that?

• 34:48Matt McCusker?

  No.

• 34:48Speaker 03

  Uh, yeah, I ain't gonna, I ain't gonna obviously say it on there or nothing, but yeah, I was walking down the street. Um, this is months ago now, like last August, uh, and, uh, somebody, like a, a guy just starts yelling my name and I, I, I got, I was a feel about myself for a second. I was like, "We up?" And then I was,

• 35:04Matt McCusker?

  Homies are homeless friends? I mean, technically you are up now. Your boy's homeless. You are way up.

• 35:10Speaker 03

  I'm up on him.

• 35:15Speaker 03

  Well, then I turned, I like recognized his face like, "Oh shit." And then, you know, we shook hands and like, then I was bummed about that right afterwards. Like, cause it's like,

• 35:24Matt McCusker?

  No pun intended.

• 35:26Matt McCusker?

  You technically got bummed.

• 35:29Matt McCusker?

  Damn, so what, what was he, uh?

• 35:31Speaker 03

  I don't, I don't, I asked like, what happened? He just was like,

• 35:34Matt McCusker?

  It's a good question, homeless guy. What happened?

• 35:36Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah. Cause I mean, when I,

• 35:37Matt McCusker?

  You guys were like, boys.

• 35:38Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah. Like, we were, like, I've been to, I've been to his house. He's been to my crib when we were kids and shit like that. Like that level, like, you know, I was in MySpace days. He was on my top eight, like that shit.

• 35:48Matt McCusker?

  Did you tell him? That's pretty sick. Did you tell him that?

• 35:51Speaker 02

  He's probably still in your top eight.

• 35:52Speaker 03

  If I could ever find, he's probably still up there.

• 35:55Matt McCusker?

  Now, when you guys talked, well, first of all, what happened? Did he tell you? Or was he like, "No, I'm just, you know, I'm just chilling."

• 35:59Speaker 03

  Nah, he was, he was cool. Kind of, the first time we saw him, he was just kinda sitting there. He just kinda was like, he did say to me like a couple of times, like, "I just want somewhere to s-" like, "I just need somewhere to stay."

• 36:08Matt McCusker?

  You tell him where you're, like, "I live right in the neighborhood."

• 36:09Speaker 03

  I wasn't even close to saying nothing like that to him. I just was in my head like, "Yeah, damn."

• 36:17Matt McCusker?

  You should've been like, "Yeah, I'm, I'm actually homeless too. It's crazy."

• 36:23Matt McCusker?

  I, yeah, I don't live over there.

• 36:25Speaker 02

  I live in an encampment down south.

• 36:29Matt McCusker?

  That sucks.

• 36:29Speaker 03

  You might have heard of it.

• 36:30Matt McCusker?

  That sucks dude, getting, I mean, I can only imagine like, cause it's not that crazy to like, you know, if you're out on your own and like you can't, you're, you can't afford your apartment, like you're homeless. Like that's it. If you don't have anyone else, like you're fucking homeless.

• 36:43Speaker 03

  What threw me off was him being here from all the way from PA. They like, I mean, I feel like I have a, like I have a reason to be down here.

• 36:50Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 36:50Speaker 03

  It was like to just get from right outside Philly all the way to Austin to be homeless.

• 36:56Matt McCusker?

  By foot.

• 36:56Speaker 03

  By weather.

• 36:58Speaker 02

  He did it by foot.

• 36:59Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, but it's so fuck true. That's a bust off for sure. That's a bust off. He had a larger plan. I don't think he, do you think, did he plan on getting here or he just got like stuck here?

• 37:08Speaker 03

  Oh, I, I think, I think it was a stuck here thing.

• 37:11Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 37:11Speaker 03

  But I mean, like, but when I, the thing that was weird about it too.

• 37:14Matt McCusker?

  Those guys kind of fly by the seat of their pants a lot of the times.

• 37:17Speaker 03

  Yeah. He was cool growing up though. Like he had a good upbringing. He wasn't like in those shit. I don't want to, if I was about to start getting extra specific.

• 37:24Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, no, I know what you mean. I, dude, I knew a guy who, uh, in Philly, I saw him at, I was at a train station.

• 37:29Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 37:30Matt McCusker?

  And I saw a dude, I'm like, holy fuck, I haven't seen you forever. And like it dawned on me, oh, he's begging for change. And I was like, dang.

• 37:35Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 37:35Matt McCusker?

  Sucks.

• 37:36Speaker 03

  He, he tried to hit me with the, give me money the second time I saw him, which did bother me cause he didn't say hi normally. He just was like, Nate, give me some money. And I was like, alright, like chill. And then I, but I, I didn't know, no one has cash. And then I was like, I, I was like, I got you next time I see you, whatever. And he was like, man, I know you got a credit card, go down to, uh, let's give me a Four Loko. And I don't know why, but asking for a Four Loko specifically was like, no.

• 38:00Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 38:01Speaker 03

  If you'd asked for any other kind of drink, I might've done it, but it being a Four Loko, I was like, bruh, you're not even trying to get off the street.

• 38:10Matt McCusker?

  Not even being healthy dude, like drink something else.

• 38:12Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 38:12Matt McCusker?

  A vodka soda or something. Like you're not even doing keto dude, like.

• 38:16Speaker 03

  Going straight.

• 38:18Matt McCusker?

  Dude.

• 38:18Speaker 02

  You're not doing keto on purpose.

• 38:20Matt McCusker?

  I gotta say, that Four Loko's gotta taste so good dude. When you're homeless and you get an ice cold Loko.

• 38:26Speaker 03

  I'm not making me feel bad. I get it for.

• 38:28Matt McCusker?

  No, you did the right thing. A Four Loko wouldn't help the situation, but I mean, imagine it's Austin, it's summertime, it's hot, it's 106.

• 38:35Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 38:35Matt McCusker?

  You're just, every life decision you've ever made, you're like, what the fuck? And then you just fuck, ice cold Loko. And you're like, yeah, I get, I'm giving myself an hour reprieve.

• 38:43Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 38:44Speaker 02

  You're gonna fuck up those showers dude.

• 38:48Speaker 02

  This guy was about to get fucked up.

• 38:49Matt McCusker?

  Damn, that's fucked up. How close is he to you? Like, I actually, I don't, you know. Like, is he on like a totally different side of town or like?

• 38:57Speaker 03

  Well, every time I've seen him, it's been down here. So like, I haven't, I didn't see him. He wasn't like near the encampment.

• 39:02Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 39:05Speaker 03

  If I'd have had it in at the encampment, I'd have done some field research. I'd have got in there if I knew a guy.

• 39:10Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 39:10Speaker 03

  Just to tell people what it was like when he was at, like the wire, when they were like trying to find the serial killer.

• 39:15Matt McCusker?

  I had a, it true. I had a good idea.

• 39:18Speaker 02

  Research, you're taking your gun.

• 39:19Matt McCusker?

  True. Although they don't really, I feel like homeless people don't really, like every time I, like, there's a lot of homeless people in Austin. I'll walk past, it gets like really thick around the corner.

• 39:28Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 39:29Matt McCusker?

  And I'll like walk down there and I'm like, these guys, I was like thinking about it. I had to go get shit out of my car. I'm like, damn, these guys, I'm like fucked. These guys all attacked me, but they're pretty chill, like.

• 39:37Speaker 02

  Pretty chill.

• 39:38Matt McCusker?

  You think they would get like more into kind of like raiding.

• 39:40Speaker 02

  There was a guy around the corner once. I just heard him yelling. He's like, I am the Hokage of Austin, Texas. I was like, we don't got that.

• 39:48Speaker 03

  What's Hokage?

• 39:49Speaker 02

  It's just like the president and it's like anime president. I thought you guys.

• 39:53Speaker 03

  He was anime homeless?

• 39:54Speaker 02

  He was anime homeless. He was anime homeless, yeah.

• 39:57Matt McCusker?

  See, look, I, if I could get him a portable DVD player, that'd be nice.

• 40:01Matt McCusker?

  Just something that root him.

• 40:03Speaker 03

  A box set.

• 40:04Speaker 02

  Just like here. He'll save his life. He'll be plugged into that wall for at least a week.

• 40:09Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, man. I mean, dude, again, it's like, what do you do with those guys? Yeah, I've heard before, you put them in the apartment and it's like, a lot of them OD, no one's there to find them. That's not good.

• 40:20Speaker 02

  Ever think about work camps?

• 40:23Matt McCusker?

  Like, what do you, I mean, I'm all, I'm all for it, but uh, like, what would you, how would you do that?

• 40:28Speaker 02

  I mean, like.

• 40:29Matt McCusker?

  You gotta do farms. If you did farms, that way it's like, yo, you guys can.

• 40:32Speaker 02

  What if all the homeless people worked for Amazon?

• 40:35Speaker 03

  A lot of packages aren't showing up.

• 40:37Matt McCusker?

  They, well, they're, they're Amazon's nemeses, dude. They go around. Yeah. You can't give it, because you can't, they cannot, they cannot have any response. That's the problem. They can't bear any, and it's like, you know, I'm not coming down on them. I'm saying like literally like, that's kind of the issue. A lot of them at least cannot, just to do to whatever, can't bear.

• 40:54Speaker 03

  Or they, some don't want to, like the, the cabin that was. They cleared it out, they put a fence up, it's it's gone completely now, but when it was there, I guess social services would come there like every day and be like, hey, we got a place for you guys and they'd be like, nah, this is this is this is what we want.

• 41:11Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, exactly.

• 41:12Speaker 03

  You can't do drugs and have smelly orgies in this.

• 41:15Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 41:16Matt McCusker?

  Well, if you think about it, yeah, if someone's just gonna like trap you and fucking give you all these rules, it's like, yeah, I might, it's not gonna be that, I mean, I guess, you know, the comfort of being indoors would be kind of nice, but it's like, bro.

• 41:26Speaker 02

  I didn't know about the hobo orgies.

• 41:28Speaker 03

  There's gotta be hobo orgies.

• 41:30Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's probably sad.

• 41:30Speaker 03

  Either that or very possessive about your woman.

• 41:33Matt McCusker?

  I don't know, man, I I don't think they have orgies, dude, I think it's like more like brutal, quiet rapes and. I'm being honest, I don't think there's like, you would imagine.

• 41:44Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 41:45Matt McCusker?

  But I don't think, I don't think there's like them like, you know, like candles and being like, oh.

• 41:50Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 41:51Matt McCusker?

  Polyamorous relationship.

• 41:53Speaker 03

  I imagine like that, the orgy from those animals in South Park where it was just nuts and they would just start going at it and then.

• 42:00Matt McCusker?

  No, because I think it's like, you know, if you're a woman, you're not just gonna like, that's your bread and butter, bro, you're not gonna be just spreading it around.

• 42:07Speaker 02

  Unless you're homeless.

• 42:09Matt McCusker?

  What do you mean?

• 42:10Speaker 02

  I mean.

• 42:11Speaker 03

  I feel like they might live by animal rules, just like you, you.

• 42:15Speaker 02

  If you're a lady and you're homeless, you're already a failure, like, you know?

• 42:18Matt McCusker?

  These are all new opinions.

• 42:19Speaker 02

  Women should never be homeless.

• 42:20Speaker 03

  True.

• 42:21Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 42:22Speaker 02

  You, you, there's something wrong with you.

• 42:23Matt McCusker?

  If a woman's homeless?

• 42:24Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 42:25Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I mean, that's like extra die, but like a guy being homeless, like, yeah, I get it, like, you know, we got enough dicks out here. But yeah, if you're, I don't know, I, yeah, I guess so, maybe so, I don't know. Uh, maybe that's just where their heart is, dude.

• 42:39Speaker 02

  It's in the streets.

• 42:44Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, it is, it is extra sad when ladies are homeless, I, I never really, I mean, I thought about it, but never really, considered the fact that like, yeah, dude, you have, the lady has nowhere, but a lot of homeless people, they do like, a lot of off and on action, you get, not a lot of people are like, I mean, you literally can't do it, like three sixty five, man, that's.

• 43:00Speaker 03

  Yeah, you would die.

• 43:01Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, you're done.

• 43:02Speaker 02

  There's a lot of TikToks where people are choosing to be homeless now, where they're doing this like a, they just make TikToks about them being homeless, living in a tent, and then they make all the money off of TikTok and they go to a hotel sometimes, and then they're homeless again. It's a real weird cycle.

• 43:18Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, that's just like, there's like the kind of upper crust of the bums who are like college educated. There's a lot of people who like tour, just like with bands and do drugs and like we'll be homeless for a little bit then catch a, you know, train to Cincinnati and chill there. And they're kind of like smart enough to like, you know, make it work for them, but I don't know. I don't, I used to, I used to get mad when I was younger when I would see like, there's like crust punk kind of like white bums who are big, excuse me, sir, may I have some change? And you're like, dude, you didn't excuse me? No.

• 43:49Speaker 02

  Get your life together. Give me this dog.

• 43:51Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, give me, I saw a guy hit me with a puppy last night, just a brand new puppy. I'm like, damn, nice dog. And he's like, could I have some money? I was like, nah. So I was critical. It's an ATM machine right in there. It's like, I know how ATM machines work, bro.

• 44:05Matt McCusker?

  It sucks. The fact that no one carries cash is crushing them.

• 44:08Speaker 03

  Yeah. I was leaving Sunset and I told, I said to the dude who's asked me for money leaving there. I was like, I was like, I don't got no cash on me. He goes, you got Cash App? And I was like, you got access to Cash App?

• 44:20Matt McCusker?

  That's what I'm saying. I'm like, bro, like, yeah, that's, that's the problem. It's like, yeah, cause it's, if I have like spare bills on me, I usually I'm like, yeah, here you go. But once they're like, yeah, give me your Venmo. I'm like, ah.

• 44:29Speaker 02

  You know, you got a Venmo, you know how to hustle.

• 44:31Speaker 03

  Like, yeah, you have a phone. You have a phone with working internet. Like it's.

• 44:35Matt McCusker?

  True.

• 44:36Speaker 02

  Well, that might be the government.

• 44:37Matt McCusker?

  It'd be the bomber phone?

• 44:38Speaker 02

  Yeah, but daddy's taking that away.

• 44:40Matt McCusker?

  Yeah. Is he really? He's taking the bomber phones away?

• 44:43Speaker 02

  Yeah, that was a part of USAID.

• 44:45Matt McCusker?

  Oh, really?

• 44:46Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 44:46Matt McCusker?

  Giving everyone a cellphone?

• 44:48Speaker 02

  It was just, uh, just for poor people.

• 44:50Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 44:51Speaker 02

  So poor people could talk to each other.

• 44:53Matt McCusker?

  That's cool. Just so they can, just so they can listen.

• 45:00Matt McCusker?

  Yeah. Well, I hope they figure it out, but I, I don't know what they're like, literally don't know what they're gonna do for those guys. This episode is brought to you by Viori.

  It's weird how they figured it out when they wanted to though. Door South by, there was none of them around here. And it was just like, they were like, we can't, whatever it was during that time, they were like, you're going to make us look bad. And then they're like, all right.

• 47:14Matt McCusker?

  Well, I mean, the thing too is like, if you're an adult, unless you're like genuinely, there's like, you know, you divide it. Like there's people who are mentally like for real, like gone, like there's nothing, you can't sit down, you cannot reason with them. It's like almost involuntary at that point.

• 47:29Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 47:29Matt McCusker?

  Then if there's a guy who's like, I don't want to work, it's just like. You might die of tuberculosis, you know what I mean? Like you have to, you do have to bear some responsibility for yourself. I'm not trying to be like a dick or be like fuck them, but it's like, there is a fine line. Cause it is like, if you're a dude and you're like, I don't know how many homeless people this is genuinely their situation. But if you're just like, are like, I don't know if there's any of them that are just voluntarily like, I'm going to lay on the ground. Cause it would suck.

• 47:54Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 47:54Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 47:55Speaker 02

  Man, I.

• 47:56Speaker 03

  We thought we saw, was that me and you that we thought we saw a dead guy together?

• 47:58Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah. He was just laying on the ground like this.

• 48:00Speaker 03

  And he was like pale and, and he was in front of a bar, just like laid out and people were like, somebody was like trying to nudge him and he wasn't moving. Then we told the bar.

• 48:11Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, there's an old homeless door knock.

• 48:12Speaker 03

  Yeah. Just right on his belly button.

• 48:18Speaker 02

  Want to touch him? What if I caught it?

• 48:20Speaker 03

  And we were like, I think there's a dead guy in front of your bar. And the guy came out and started giving them the real shakes. The, the people who work on Sixth Street, they just got a different.

• 48:29Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 48:29Speaker 03

  Like they, they power through everything.

• 48:32Matt McCusker?

  So like, they're like cowboys. Yeah, they're like cowboys. It's like, yeah, you gotta really.

• 48:37Speaker 03

  Yeah. It's like people working.

• 48:40Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I mean, that, that is like the brutal truth of it. It's like, you know, again, like that lady last night, like I know his name. It's like, dude, if he's like right out front of your door and you open it, you're going to be like, duh.

• 48:48Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 48:49Matt McCusker?

  It's like, it's, people don't want to see people just not up like that. That's the problem.

• 48:54Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 48:54Matt McCusker?

  They're just so not up.

• 48:55Speaker 03

  It is, it is a bummer too, for real. Like it's a, it's a, I feel like I was trying to sound to show you to get to the guy I used to be cool with. Also, he's not a friend, it's been 17 years.

• 49:06Matt McCusker?

  He's off your top eight.

• 49:07Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He wouldn't be in my top a hundred right now.

• 49:11Speaker 02

  I think the one thing we all can agree on is that for us to fix this problem will cost $200 million.

• 49:16Matt McCusker?

  You think?

• 49:17Speaker 03

  It'll go cost more.

• 49:18Speaker 02

  I mean, for us. Like for us to fix it here.

• 49:21Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 49:21Matt McCusker?

  That's the sweetest hustle, dude. Homeless support nonprofits are the tightest hustle ever.

• 49:27Speaker 03

  Is that a thing people do?

• 49:28Matt McCusker?

  Oh, yeah, dude. Oh, you could start a nonprofit tomorrow and just go out and like check in with them. And then you'll have some government agency give you like your nonprofit that you draw like a hundred thousand dollars a year from.

• 49:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 49:40Matt McCusker?

  Like $200. Every time you like sit down with a checklist and like, do you have any bottles of water? Do you have clean needles? It's like bang, that's 200 bucks.

• 49:48Speaker 03

  That's crazy.

• 49:48Matt McCusker?

  And you just hire fucking college interns, they work for free. It's kind of, the nonprofit space is, don't get me started on it.

• 49:54Speaker 02

  What if you like, well, okay. You you make this nonprofit, then you hire one of the homeless guys to do it. But you give them money off the record, off the record.

• 50:04Matt McCusker?

  Okay.

• 50:04Speaker 02

  So it looks like he's, because that's how they like to receive money. They don't like.

• 50:09Matt McCusker?

  They don't pay taxes.

• 50:10Speaker 03

  They don't want to pay taxes. They don't want a new crime.

• 50:11Speaker 02

  No.

• 50:12Matt McCusker?

  And they can't write off the depreciation of their house.

• 50:14Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 50:17Matt McCusker?

  I'm just saying for a purely accounting standpoint.

• 50:20Matt McCusker?

  I don't think they'd be, I think their tax bracket would be zero, but they, I'd imagine they want that cash.

• 50:24Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 50:25Matt McCusker?

  You know what I mean?

• 50:25Speaker 02

  Give them the cash, you go, you go, give me 10 homeless guys you made, what's that, 200 times 10, 2 Gs? Bucks, 2 Gs?

• 50:33Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, you should break them off.

• 50:34Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 50:34Matt McCusker?

  Go tell your friends, I'm gonna give you some of, you know, Pure Life Aquafina waters. That have been sitting in like a sunny, warm warehouse.

• 50:44Speaker 03

  At least refreshing water.

• 50:45Matt McCusker?

  Dude, it's literally, it's like toothbrush, hand sanitizer, water bottles and like, how you doing champ? And then you, you just move on. I know people used to do this and it's like, those companies get paid, bro.

• 50:55Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 50:56Matt McCusker?

  And you're, you're technically a nonprofit because you are getting a salary personally and your profit, your entity is not deriving a profit, so to speak.

• 51:05Speaker 02

  That's.

• 51:06Matt McCusker?

  Oh dude, that's, that's the thing too. Everyone's mad about like, you know, the Doge stuff and it's like, bro, we could use a hard crackdown on government spending.

• 51:14Speaker 02

  That's the thing now. They're not going after the stuff.

• 51:18Matt McCusker?

  What do you mean?

• 51:18Speaker 02

  They're going after all the like, um, I don't want to say science because not all of it is science, but some of it is weird science. Like they made, they figured out Ozempic from sloth glands, you know?

• 51:30Matt McCusker?

  What's that? So what's?

• 51:31Speaker 02

  So like, it's like.

• 51:32Matt McCusker?

  Are they cracking down on that or something?

• 51:33Speaker 02

  Well, there was like, uh, there was one thing, uh, they were like.

• 51:38Matt McCusker?

  Also, it's so funny, all the women are just getting like sloth, uh, man. It does slow down. That's how all that stuff works.

• 51:45Speaker 02

  I believe it's sloths.

• 51:49Matt McCusker?

  That's how it works though. It slows your digestion down. That's all it does. All that Ozempic shit does. And maybe, I don't know.

• 51:54Speaker 02

  It slows it down and it, uh, congeals the toxins.

• 51:57Speaker 03

  It's the venom from, uh, Gila monster.

• 52:00Speaker 02

  That's close. No.

• 52:04Matt McCusker?

  I believe sloths, like, yep, makes total sense. So it's Gila, Gila venom.

• 52:08Speaker 02

  Yeah, but they wouldn't have noticed that if they didn't have one of those weird research grants where it's like, study the saliva of a Gila monster.

• 52:15Matt McCusker?

  Dude, those pharmaceutical companies have their own money. They, they can, trust me, they can figure that shit out. They don't need. They can figure that out. They're pure. They have billions of dollars.

• 52:24Speaker 02

  But none of the-

• 52:25Matt McCusker?

  They can suck the juice out of Gila monsters, nematodes.

• 52:29Speaker 02

  None of the ID stuff that got taken away was pharmaceutical stuff. It was all like, uh, civilian programs across over there.

• 52:39Matt McCusker?

  I dude, I honestly think the truth, from my perspective, the truth of it is, you see like a snippet in the news. So there's probably some stuff people say, hey, we need that. And there's probably a lot. If you looked at that list, it'd be a giant sheet of paper.

• 52:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 52:53Matt McCusker?

  Like 10,000 pages that people are cherry picking from.

• 52:55Speaker 02

  I also saw another thing that said, uh, they actually didn't cut as much as they said.

• 53:01Matt McCusker?

  Well, uh, oh, fair enough. But here's the thing. If you're, you know, these government people, it's a gravy train, dude.

• 53:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 53:07Matt McCusker?

  So if you've got the gravy train going, you have like a high up organization getting millions of dollars that's funneling from taxpayers and not really doing anything that people want you to do besides kind of enriching yourself. The first thing you're gonna do is find like a thing, be like, they're actually cutting off money for, it's like, dude, I don't know. It's like the gravy train's getting attacked.

• 53:23Speaker 02

  If that condoms in Afghanistan thing is real, get rid of that.

• 53:28Matt McCusker?

  Condoms in Afghanistan?

• 53:29Speaker 02

  Yeah, let them, let them make their jihadi babies. But like, you know, like-

• 53:34Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, was that thing, but we, but again, it's like, it'd be one of those things where it's like, we're doing like, you know, sex ed. We're bringing it here. It, the, there's, no one's holding you up for results. At least from, again, I have a minimal thing, but you can have the shittiest, ineffective organization receiving more, it's all about the grants and the relationships. This happened in fucking Japan.

• 53:55Speaker 02

  But I would say, to be fair, everybody does want to come here because of the things we have dropped, like culturally and like our programs that expend our reach, our cultural reach. Like, uh, everywhere, everywhere. Most countries, people want to come here. They're like the American dream, the American freedom, golden roads, you know?

• 54:14Matt McCusker?

  Yeah. What the fuck's that got to do with some fat fucking social worker making 150 grand a year?

• 54:18Speaker 02

  Our propaganda works.

• 54:20Matt McCusker?

  We're still gonna propagandize.

• 54:23Speaker 02

  We're propagandizing each other right now.

• 54:25Matt McCusker?

  Jesus Christ, you're propagandizing me right now.

• 54:29Matt McCusker?

  I'm all for, I'm for it, man. At least just see what happens, man. Just see what happens, bro. I don't know.

• 54:35Speaker 03

  What you mean with the, with the Doge stuff to see what happens? That's what I feel. Plus, I got a little Doge. I love to see it work out.

• 54:42Speaker 02

  It's only seventeen cents. It went down. It went down by more than half.

• 54:47Speaker 03

  But it went up a lot because of the original.

• 54:49Matt McCusker?

  The Doge coin?

• 54:50Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 54:51Matt McCusker?

  What's that got? So there's a coin associated with it?

• 54:53Speaker 03

  It's been around for forever and Elon just used to like hype it up. It was a meme coin and shit.

• 54:58Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 54:59Speaker 03

  And Elon hyped it up and then it would like, he would like tweet about it. It would jump up and then like he was always making it grow. I've got it just once because it was on the Robinhood app and I had, I had like, I would put like a dollar in every now and again just because it was there and I was like, fuck it. And then it went from being like under like point oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, three of a penny to being worth, what's like you said seventeen cents now?

• 55:21Speaker 02

  Seventeen cents now.

• 55:22Speaker 03

  Yeah, like.

• 55:23Matt McCusker?

  That's sick.

• 55:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, I had like thirty dollars of it when it was nothing and now it's kind of nice. It's kind of nice.

• 55:29Speaker 02

  You're rich.

• 55:30Speaker 03

  I'm not rich, but it was like a thousand dollars.

• 55:34Speaker 03

  From like thirty dollars. I was like, yes.

• 55:36Matt McCusker?

  That's kind of tight.

• 55:37Speaker 03

  At one point I had it like way higher and then it, it went, all went away.

• 55:41Speaker 02

  Is that why you support Doge so much?

• 55:43Speaker 03

  That's literally why I support. It's very selfish interest.

• 55:47Speaker 02

  You shouldn't be in politics.

• 55:48Speaker 03

  I'm not.

• 55:51Speaker 02

  Wait, maybe you should be in politics.

• 55:54Speaker 03

  Because I.

• 55:55Speaker 02

  Because you don't care and you're not in it right now.

• 55:59Matt McCusker?

  I mean, that is devastating when you see like, uh, like especially like with taxes. It's like they take, the government takes a lot. And then you're like, all right, what am I getting? You turn on the TV and you're like, these are the people.

• 56:10Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 56:10Matt McCusker?

  They're so like, I'm not being a dick, but it's like, why? Why, why is that? Why can't we have any normal people in that one job?

• 56:16Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 56:17Matt McCusker?

  Is the, is the job that corruptive or is it just the types of people who?

• 56:20Speaker 02

  I don't think it's the job again. I think it's. We're skipping out on the real problem and I think it's the corporate overlords.

• 56:27Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, true.

• 56:28Speaker 02

  That's the actual problem. It's not the politics. It's the guys influencing them, the guys influencing us.

• 56:34Matt McCusker?

  I think also-

• 56:34Speaker 02

  And then the guys with all the money. They have all the three things.

• 56:37Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 56:37Speaker 03

  I think too, if you want, if you're like the personality type that you wanna get into politics, like you probably have the personality type where you've already thought of all the other shit that we complain about and you're like, "No, I want in on that."

• 56:48Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 56:48Speaker 03

  And that's what you dive into. It's like-

• 56:51Matt McCusker?

  That's true. It is kind of, it is like to have of all the things that can appeal to you as like a younger person. Be like, "I wanna be on Capitol Hill."

• 56:59Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 57:00Matt McCusker?

  Pass laws about bus lanes.

• 57:01Speaker 03

  That's a weird dream to have as a kid.

• 57:04Matt McCusker?

  Yeah. Did you ever like meet a politician?

• 57:07Speaker 03

  Uh, no.

• 57:08Matt McCusker?

  Not even like a high level politician, just like a guy running for like city stuff?

• 57:11Speaker 02

  It's like a mayor.

• 57:12Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, dude, they're like-

• 57:13Speaker 02

  I met a Beach Town mayor. Those guys fucking party.

• 57:15Matt McCusker?

  Beach Town mayor's sick. That, that's-

• 57:17Speaker 02

  Beach Town mayors are cool.

• 57:18Matt McCusker?

  That's fucking nasty, actually. That's sick. I met a young guy one time who was like a young gunner trying to get into politics a long, long time ago. I remember just thinking like, "Damn, this is fucking freaking me out."

• 57:28Speaker 03

  Yeah. He had that like personality that like stern shake, look you in the eyes too long.

• 57:33Matt McCusker?

  Yeah. It's just a, you know, but whatever. People have their thing.

• 57:36Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 57:37Matt McCusker?

  Maybe, I mean, it's probably always been the case and I think you're right too. It's one of those things where you get in and it's like, you know, you like, "I would do this and that." It's like, "Bro, wait till Nestle pulls you aside." They're like, "Bro, shut the fuck up."

• 57:48Speaker 02

  We actually own water. You can't drink it anymore.

• 57:53Speaker 03

  You go home, this is none of this biggest work anymore. Oh, shit.

• 57:57Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 57:58Speaker 02

  All your bottled waters are empty.

• 58:01Matt McCusker?

  Well, it's also like if you start getting like, you know, if, say like, you know, if you guys ran for politics and started getting a buzz, there would be like, you know, you'd have like seven or eight people just in your sphere, like Machiavellianly kind of planning against you and like it's, it's gotta be shit like that all the time.

• 58:18Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 58:19Matt McCusker?

  So.

• 58:19Speaker 02

  Is there somebody always coming in for your job?

• 58:21Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, cuz imagine you're like running for and it's like local politicians don't get paid much. They're they're trying to get like the benefits in advance and move up and it's like, if you're trying to be a politician, you lose, it's gotta be like, what then?

• 58:33Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 58:33Matt McCusker?

  What the fuck do you do?

• 58:35Speaker 03

  Local politicians don't get paid much, but I do think they do like, like little shit.

• 58:39Matt McCusker?

  Big dude, big time.

• 58:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 58:40Matt McCusker?

  Oh, if you're getting in charge of who gets to pave the roads and shit, it's like, dude, that's so much money.

• 58:44Speaker 03

  There was this lady in Jersey City when I was living there, like the year before I left for two years, she.

• 58:48Speaker 02

  Worst politi-

• 58:49Speaker 03

  She did like a.

• 58:50Matt McCusker?

  Really?

• 58:50Speaker 03

  She did worse what?

• 58:51Speaker 02

  Worse, uh.

• 58:52Speaker 03

  Politics?

• 58:52Speaker 02

  Like government, like ever. It takes so long to get shit done. Alright, I'm sorry.

• 58:56Speaker 03

  There was this lady, she did like a clear hit and run, like texting and driving, like it was on camera. She hit some dude with her, like a biker with her car, which I mean, she did what we all kinda wanna do sometimes, but blasted through him, never stopped. They got her for it and then they started like digging into all of this shit. She never got in trouble for that hit and run either, I I think, but um, they started digging into her like information or whatever, and then they found out she was like living in housing that was supposed to be for families who made like under sixty thousand a year or something and who her and her husband were both making like, like seventy, eighty or something, you know, but then living in a house that's meant for people who aren't making that much and just.

• 59:36Matt McCusker?

  People don't realize, that's the thing too, you don't realize, like even in Philly, like if you're like a city council person, which is like, you know, it's like the start, there's like, I think like there's ward lead, I think technically it starts at the block captain. Block captain is like a unofficial position, then you have ward leaders, city council. If you're in city council, like say like, you know, you're in like where I used to live in Fairmount, there's like, you know, lots that the city owns that you can then be like, yeah, we can sell, we we've all decided that we actually can sell this one, but it's like you can work with a real se- a real estate investor. And like, that's like one of those weird little things you're not thinking of. You have a bunch of vacant lots in like the hood. Nobody cares. And then you're like, we're doing a new program and then you've just sold, you've literally, a a investor was like, yeah, we wanna buy these.

• 1:00:18Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:00:19Matt McCusker?

  And you've just started a new program. Yeah, you get a kickback or like a stake and blah, and like some weird LLC and nobody fucking follows that shit.

• 1:00:25Speaker 03

  No one's looking.

• 1:00:26Matt McCusker?

  Till it's too late, then yeah, then you're just, you know. A top politician, you have twenty-five million dollars and you're just like, well, what do you expect?

• 1:00:34Speaker 03

  If it doesn't, and if it doesn't become national news, you can wait everything out.

• 1:00:38Matt McCusker?

  I would do this. If I was a politician, that's the thing too, I gotta admit. If I was a local politician, I'd be so grubby on land.

• 1:00:44Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:00:45Matt McCusker?

  I'd be so grubby on land.

• 1:00:47Speaker 03

  I would try not to.

• 1:00:48Matt McCusker?

  I'm not even gonna lie.

• 1:00:48Speaker 03

  Yeah, I would try not to, but the second, it's like, you fall, like, you just fall into it, like, I can do what?

• 1:00:55Matt McCusker?

  Well, then they hit you with like, we have plans, we're gonna beautify, they use all these terms and shit, and then it's just like, you're like, yeah, this would be cool. And then, you know, you get maybe your name on one of the parks and you're like, fucking.

• 1:01:04Speaker 03

  I am a nice guy. I should do, but even though it's really back in your mind, you know, you're doing some fucked up shit.

• 1:01:09Speaker 02

  Cool, it's about to hit you with a fifty-dollar, fifty thousand dollar grant.

• 1:01:12Matt McCusker?

  Here's the thing, what if it's not even fucked up? Like, if you go to Kensington and somebody gets paid off making that place nicer, and then, you know, I mean, I don't know where the bros are gonna go, but it's like, in ten years from now, they'll be like, damn, that's fucking sick, this place rules.

• 1:01:26Speaker 02

  We should send all the bros to Wyoming.

• 1:01:29Matt McCusker?

  That would be tough.

• 1:01:29Speaker 03

  Just ruin Wyoming.

• 1:01:31Speaker 02

  Cause there's nothing out there, kind of, send them to Kanye West's house.

• 1:01:36Matt McCusker?

  For every, like, yeah, every, like, off-the-wall tweet, one homeless guy pops up with a four thousand acre.

• 1:01:42Speaker 03

  That would stop the tweets, actually.

• 1:01:44Speaker 02

  I bet he'd have like a fucking, like, he'd have an army of homeless by the end of it.

• 1:01:48Speaker 03

  Or, yeah, or he'd have them in the choir. He'd have the biggest choir of all time.

• 1:01:52Speaker 02

  He's like, I gave y'all shoes and shirts, look at these, look at these fresh Sean John and leather KKK's fits.

• 1:02:00Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, that would be, I mean, yeah, if someone could mobilize those guys, you could real, I mean, I guess, how many are there? I don't even know if you could.

• 1:02:07Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's gotta be, I wanna say a million, but that seems a lot, but there's gotta be a million.

• 1:02:12Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, there's like, there's like those people who are like, kind of in-between homeless where they like crash.

• 1:02:18Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:02:18Matt McCusker?

  You know?

• 1:02:24Speaker 05

  Approximately 771,000.

• 1:02:26Matt McCusker?

  Okay, so it's almost at a mill.

• 1:02:28Speaker 02

  I don't care until it's a million. Let's get these numbers up.

• 1:02:32Matt McCusker?

  Before you read the, lead the army? It'd be a tough, it'd be a, it'd be a truly ragtag group, though. That'd be a real motley crew.

• 1:02:39Speaker 03

  There's no organization.

• 1:02:41Matt McCusker?

  You know, we're a real mot, I love old men when they go, "We're a real motley crew." Old men love, they have like four guys working with them, they love going, "We're a real motley crew." "We're a bunch of ragtag renegades." There's an insurance office. Just the boss is cheating on his wife, he's like, "We're a real motley crew."

• 1:03:01Matt McCusker?

  "We get drunk at TGI Fridays and I get a handjob from prostitutes."

• 1:03:05Speaker 05

  It increased 18% from 2023 to 2024.

• 1:03:09Matt McCusker?

  Damn. Holy shit.

• 1:03:11Speaker 03

  What the fuck happened?

• 1:03:13Speaker 02

  That's almost about as many pedophiles, like.

• 1:03:20Matt McCusker?

  Oh yeah, true.

• 1:03:22Speaker 02

  That's pretty high. It's just slightly higher than that.

• 1:03:25Matt McCusker?

  18% is not good.

• 1:03:27Speaker 02

  No.

• 1:03:28Matt McCusker?

  That's not good. 18% in one year.

• 1:03:31Speaker 02

  One year is nuts.

• 1:03:33Matt McCusker?

  Damn, if you think about it, okay, so.

• 1:03:34Speaker 03

  You gonna try and leave it for Trump?

• 1:03:36Speaker 02

  No, dude, eggs went up and then people were like, "I can't afford eggs, I can't afford a house."

• 1:03:40Speaker 03

  Oh, true. I forgot about the economy.

• 1:03:46Matt McCusker?

  That is funny. People are like, "Why are the eggs going down? Lower the fucking eggs."

• 1:03:50Speaker 03

  It's always the eggs.

• 1:03:51Matt McCusker?

  Bro, there's like real egg shortages. If you go to the grocery store, there's no fucking eggs.

• 1:03:55Speaker 02

  Really?

• 1:03:56Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, it's happened to me a couple of times. There's no eggs and you know.

• 1:03:58Speaker 02

  Cause they had to burn down, like, did they burn down?

• 1:04:01Matt McCusker?

  That bird flu shit, yeah.

• 1:04:02Speaker 02

  They burned down a couple of chicken farms, like on the east coast.

• 1:04:05Matt McCusker?

  Dang. Who, Kanye?

• 1:04:06Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:04:09Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, that's, yeah, cause it was like a bird flu or some shit.

• 1:04:12Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:04:13Matt McCusker?

  Yeah. I ain't worried about it.

• 1:04:15Speaker 02

  Ain't nothing wrong with no bird flu.

• 1:04:17Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, I thought all the bad stuff lives on the shell of the egg.

• 1:04:20Speaker 02

  Actually, I think there was like a human that caught bird flu too. From this stuff.

• 1:04:25Speaker 03

  None. Can you even get bird flu from eggs?

• 1:04:28Speaker 02

  No.

• 1:04:29Speaker 03

  That feels like you can't.

• 1:04:30Matt McCusker?

  I think you can get it. You know you can get it from their shit. So when you, when bird shit, uh, I, I used to work in a highly char, like a highly pigeon shit rich environment for a while. Like it would just clouds of pigeon shit. You would drop a section. I was doing demolition. You would drop a drop ceiling. And then you would literally, this room would just be like, it looked like smoke.

• 1:04:50Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 1:04:50Matt McCusker?

  Dried pigeon shit. And when pigeon, when bird shit's dry, it actually the like, uh, viruses and bacteria are in it. Like they need water to like, kind of like activate. So the problem is it's like dry and you can touch it. It doesn't bother you, but as soon as it enters your body, you have water in your body and then it'll start like to proliferate. I breathed in like so much pigeon shit.

• 1:05:11Matt McCusker?

  I didn't get any bird flu. Fucking bullshit, dude. I was, I was, when somebody explained that to me, I was so scared the whole time. I was like, just literally moving through just a fucking clouds, clouds of pigeons. Yeah. You have those like paper masks on, but it's like summertime, it's hot. You're gonna fucking pull that thing down.

• 1:05:27Speaker 03

  Yeah, like fuck it. I'll die. I'm dying to not feel this right now.

• 1:05:31Matt McCusker?

  Those fucking masks suck so bad.

• 1:05:34Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:05:34Matt McCusker?

  Have you ever worn one of those like all day? Yes, all day and worked.

• 1:05:37Speaker 02

  Yeah, not all day.

• 1:05:38Matt McCusker?

  Fucking, and then when you have to wear like, if you do something like lead, you're like removing lead paint or asbestos, you have to wear those like giant ones that like the fallout guys, like the filters.

• 1:05:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:05:48Matt McCusker?

  Dude, those things, it's like a, it's, it's literally a strain on your heart. Cause you're like, you, every breath you're going and you gotta breathe in.

• 1:05:55Speaker 03

  Oh, they're not like easy breathing? I thought you just heard it.

• 1:05:57Matt McCusker?

  No, it's filter, you're filtering air. So you're getting less oxygen technically through, I think through every fucking breath.

• 1:06:03Speaker 02

  Sounds right to me.

• 1:06:04Matt McCusker?

  Yeah.

• 1:06:04Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:06:04Matt McCusker?

  So it's a, I, I looked it up. I was such a psycho about all this shit. I was like, I'm gonna fucking die.

• 1:06:09Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:06:09Matt McCusker?

  You would have to like cut freon, you know, you cut a freon line that's blasting on you.

• 1:06:13Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:06:13Matt McCusker?

  Boy, demolition sucks, dude. It's like, it is truly, it's definitely.

• 1:06:17Speaker 03

  It's man's work.

• 1:06:18Matt McCusker?

  Yeah, but it's like you're going and all the dudes who do it are like, I don't give a fuck. And they're just breathing in the worst shit possible all day long. Like, concrete, you know, if you breathe in concrete, that's bad for you. Silicates, if you look at the actual, um, I know asbestos, if you look at the, like, mol- not molecule, like, a chunk of it, basically, like, a fine particle, it's like a little barbed fucking spike. And it just scar your lungs. And concrete, silicates do the same thing. If you breathe in concrete dust all the time, it just fucks your lungs up.

• 1:06:49Speaker 03

  Beast.

• 1:06:49Matt McCusker?

  But, everyone's gonna call me a bitch. Everyone who does this, shut up pussy.

• 1:06:54Speaker 03

  I mean, he lived there, done it, though.

• 1:06:55Speaker 02

  Yeah, you been there, done that.

• 1:06:56Matt McCusker?

  I was Zoolander, bro. I was Zoolander.

• 1:07:01Matt McCusker?

  I did it for a couple of years. Every time I talk about doing demolition, I'm like, another three. I'm like, I think I did it for like, eight years. It was like, two years, maybe.

• 1:07:07Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:07:08Matt McCusker?

  I did it for like, eight years, bro.

• 1:07:10Speaker 02

  So your ears are still a wreck on your body.

• 1:07:11Matt McCusker?

  Did it my whole life. That's why I have gray hair and look like I'm fucking.

• 1:07:16Speaker 03

  It's the bitchin' shit. It's the bitchin' shit growing out the follicle.

• 1:07:19Matt McCusker?

  It's not the stress of the family, it's the bitchin' shit. Father did this to me. Dude, let's slide to the motherfucking, uh, Zoom. What's up, dude? Yeah, man, come on in, bro. Kasasukas, brother. Um, where were you at timeline, Josh?
