• 1:31Speaker 02

  Uh, okay, I'm excited for this one. This is an awesome gambling question. Don Kooz, are you there?

• 1:39Stavros Halkias?

  Yo, howdy.

• 1:41Speaker 02

  What's up, man? Tell us a little about your problem, but, you know, we're excited. We're off a hot three casino-in-a-row run on tour, and, uh, yeah, what's your...

• 1:50Stavros Halkias?

  We're big on gambling these days.

• 1:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:54Speaker 04

  Dude, uh, dude, uh, so like two weeks ago, bro, um, I worked as like an outsourcing manager, like for like a marketing team. So a lot of, uh, the things that I would outsource come from overseas. Uh, so recently, you know, Donnie T. Kind of put some, uh, some tariffs that made my job a little, uh, put, let's say you put in some hot water and me and a good amount of my team kind of got let go.

• 2:27Stavros Halkias?

  Hmm.

• 2:29Speaker 04

  And, uh, shit kind of sucked because I had just like done work to my car. I had just, uh, paid off the insurance for my car. A lot of car shit came up.

• 2:41Stavros Halkias?

  Sure.

• 2:41Speaker 04

  And I wasn't really doing too hot before I got let go. I kind of needed this job. However,

• 2:47Stavros Halkias?

  So you got fired. You said, you, you said it, you phrased like a lot of my team let go. You A made it seem like you were some kind of senior manager and B made it sound like other people got let go. But anyways, but you, you lost your job as well.

• 3:02Speaker 04

  Yeah, one hundred percent. Um, it was just more like,

• 3:07Speaker 04

  I would have to reach out to a lot of like fulfillment companies like in China and like in Vietnam. And then when the tariffs came up, like our prices were going up day by day.

• 3:17Stavros Halkias?

  Right.

• 3:18Speaker 04

  And then they got to a point where my department specifically did like the quality checking and inventory for these, uh, for these things that were like kind of like imported in. And now instead of, the way the company has shifted is that instead of quality checking and folding in inventory, they send it straight to the consumer.

• 3:42Stavros Halkias?

  Hmm. Okay.

• 3:44Speaker 04

  So the warehouse position.

• 3:46Stavros Halkias?

  So you worked for Timu.

• 3:50Speaker 04

  No, it was a way fair situation.

• 3:53Stavros Halkias?

  Way fair.

• 3:54Speaker 04

  I was up and shit those beds.

• 3:55Stavros Halkias?

  Gotcha.

• 3:58Speaker 04

  Uh, but essentially, long story short, um, I had like a bunch of like old clothes that like, you know, like Supreme and some like Palace stuff and just things that were taking up space that I wasn't really wearing anymore. So I sold that. I got a severance check. And I had a buddy kind of who was visiting from out of town and we went, we hit up the, uh, uh, Eiffel Tower of Broward County, Florida.

• 4:23Stavros Halkias?

  Ooh.

• 4:23Speaker 04

  Aka, uh, Guitar Hard Rock Casino.

• 4:27Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

• 4:30Speaker 04

  And, uh, one thing about those casinos, especially like the Hard Rocks in South Florida, they don't really have like, uh, like five dollar tables. And, uh, I've gone gambling like once prior to this, but I do know how to play blackjack.

• 4:45Stavros Halkias?

  So you're playing twenty dollar hands of blackjack?

• 4:49Speaker 04

  We're like looking at like, starting at twenty and then rolling it up to like about, I think the highest hand that I put in, the highest hand that I put in that I made something off of was like two fifty.

• 5:02Stavros Halkias?

  Okay. And what about the one you didn't that you lost?

• 5:07Speaker 04

  I was like, I get like three seventy.

• 5:11Stavros Halkias?

  Three hundred seventy dollar hand. Damn. Okay. So, okay. So you're, you're out there. You're like, time to fucking double up this severance check. Um, and what happened, buddy?

• 5:23Speaker 04

  So I came up positive.

• 5:24Stavros Halkias?

  Okay.

• 5:25Speaker 04

  I genuinely, uh, although that was a really big hit, um, I got pretty lucky for like, I'll say the first, it was like, it started ebbing and flowing and then really like ramping up. And then I lost the engine and some people. But I kind of came out of it with enough money to kind of pay off my debt. It wasn't, it wasn't like a crippling amount, but it was definitely an amount that I definitely wish wasn't there whilst getting laid off.

• 5:55Stavros Halkias?

  Yep.

• 5:58Speaker 04

  But we've gone out of that. I'm up a little bit and I'm kind of looking at these like three options that I sort of have to spend between now and like the end of August.

• 6:09Stavros Halkias?

  Okay, and what are these options?

• 6:12Speaker 04

  So the first option is um, so right now I'm trying to go to school for HVAC or for air conditioning.

• 6:19Stavros Halkias?

  Love that. Yeah, smart.

• 6:22Speaker 04

  Um, I can do that and work a full-time job. I would just have to do the HVAC at night.

• 6:31Stavros Halkias?

  Okay.

• 6:34Speaker 04

  The difference with that or the, I guess the issue I have with that is that I kind of wanna have like a summer break. I kind of really don't wanna like do shit besides like go to school and maybe get like a part-time job. Yeah, just fix my car. Do like delivery or something like that.

• 6:52Stavros Halkias?

  Okay.

• 6:54Speaker 04

  Um, but the thing is, since losing my job, I now don't have health insurance or dental insurance. And I got like four wisdom teeth that I got to go.

• 7:05Stavros Halkias?

  Hmm.

• 7:08Speaker 04

  So what I'm kind of looking at is option two.

• 7:12Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, go ahead.

• 7:12Speaker 04

  Is I don't do shit, but have like a part-time job and go to school and then spend two weeks and go to like Columbia and get my wisdom teeth taken out.

• 7:22Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, wow.

• 7:23Speaker 04

  And then come back. And that would run me up until like maybe July. The reason why August is such a like a like a deadline for us is that's realistically when I'd be done with school.

• 7:36Stavros Halkias?

  You'd be done with school in August?

• 7:38Speaker 02

  Be done with HVAC?

• 7:40Speaker 04

  So I actually already went to school for HVAC. It would be, uh, I went for an apprenticeship and also a father or uh, my father's an immigrant. He does HVAC. He has his own company. What I'm looking to go to school for is more of a certificate rather than a license to do HVAC. And it's more of a certificate to kind of do the calculations for how much uh, air conditioning a commercial building would need.

• 8:07Stavros Halkias?

  I see. Okay. So.

• 8:10Speaker 04

  So. Yeah, I'm sorry, please.

• 8:12Stavros Halkias?

  No, no, so those are your two options. Is there a third one?

• 8:15Speaker 04

  Yeah, so the third one is, um, well, so I go to, so let me finish the option two. Um, I get my wisdom teeth taken out in Colombia and I come back with them fully healed around maybe July and then I would get a part time or a full time job while going to school as well. That would kind of put me in a position where I get to enjoy half my summer, not really doing shit.

• 8:38Stavros Halkias?

  Okay.

• 8:39Speaker 04

  Besides just like going to school and having free time. And then, you know, kind of going back to reality and getting a nine to five and going to school at the same time.

• 8:47Stavros Halkias?

  Okay.

• 8:49Speaker 04

  Now, the third option, which I've looked into and tried to weigh out the best as possible.

• 8:55Stavros Halkias?

  Mm hmm.

• 8:56Speaker 04

  Is that if I work a part time job and go to school, with the amount of money I still have now.

• 9:02Stavros Halkias?

  Hmm.

• 9:03Speaker 04

  For the most part, everything is pretty kosher, knock on wood. If nothing happens, that money is going to right places. No more three hundred and seventy dollar hands of blackjack. I could go to Europe at the very beginning or middle of August.

• 9:21Stavros Halkias?

  Okay.

• 9:24Speaker 04

  And fulfill a lifelong dream of going to go see my favorite soccer club play in the Premier League.

• 9:30Stavros Halkias?

  Dude, what the fuck? What do you have? Fucking terminal cancer? What do you need to fulfill your life? How old are you?

• 9:37Speaker 04

  Oh, I'm like twenty six, bro. I turned twenty six in June.

• 9:40Stavros Halkias?

  You don't fuck it. Then shut the fuck up about your summer break. You're not a fucking child, dude. You fucking lost your job. What the fuck are you talking about? Like, if you had aggressive leukemia, I would say, go see fucking whoever, whatever, Arsenal. I don't know what fucking fan you are. Tottenham. I don't know what, I don't know what your lifelong dream is, but you're not fucking dying. You're not a child. Life sucks. You have to work summers, man. Look, these wisdom, first of all, I had my wisdom, I'm thirty six. I just got my wisdom teeth taken out and it doesn't take two fucking weeks to get your wisdom teeth to heal either, motherfucker.

• 10:19Speaker 04

  No, the whole, the whole trip would be like two weeks.

• 10:21Stavros Halkias?

  Right, right, right. So look, I don't know what the fuck's going on.

• 10:24Speaker 02

  Get some beach time in.

• 10:25Stavros Halkias?

  Of course, of course, look.

• 10:27Speaker 02

  Maybe fuck some whores.

• 10:28Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah. Now, I don't know what the, I, I love how your fucking plans for unemployment are. There's three options. Two of them involve vacations essentially.

• 10:41Stavros Halkias?

  So, look dude, you wanna have a vacation, I'm not gonna stop ya. It sounds like you gotta get these wisdom teeth taken care of anyway. Hopefully you have it on good authority. You know a dentist or you know someone who knows a dentist. I hope you don't get your fucking, you know, you go to get your fucking wisdom teeth taken out. You wake up in a bathtub with your fucking spleen gone. Hopefully you know what the fuck you're doing in Colombia.

• 11:06Speaker 04

  Nah, I have family over there. I've already gone, done some work.

• 11:09Stavros Halkias?

  Okay, then.

• 11:10Speaker 04

  It's not like a shady situation where I'm going on the Colombian version of Craigslist looking for someone to rid my wisdom teeth out in their living room.

• 11:17Stavros Halkias?

  Perfect, perfect. So look, then, then I guess this is a two birds, one stone situation. I would say keep it a little tight on the vaca- but you're there, take a couple of days for yourself, whatever. But do me a favor as, stop talking about your summer break. You're 26 years old. It's, that's one of the most pathetic things I've ever heard a grown man say. It's over. Your life sucks like every grown man's life. Get a little week here and there. Where you are right now, you got your head on straight, HVAC certificate. Go to Columbia, get your fucking wisdom teeth taken out. You have plenty of time for your lifelong dream of seeing a fuck it, you know, seeing a, a team play. You're fine dude. You'll be in an even better situation next year when you have an actual fucking job.

• 12:01Stavros Halkias?

  You've saved actual money. You could take a couple of weeks off. That's the other nice thing about blue collar work. You can sort of, you know, decide if, if, if you're working for yourself or your dad's company or whatever. You know, I appreciate low level nepotism like this. HVAC nepotism, I, you're, I have no problem with HVAC nepo babies. If that means you work hard, get a certificate. Take fucking, take two weeks off next year and go to fucking, you know, go, go see whoever the fuck your favorite team is. I'll allow Columbia because you're going to go get with your wisdom teeth taken out. But that's the only reason I'm allowing it, okay? So don't fucking come over here like you're this sob story about your fucking your your summer break because you got laid off from being a middleman at Wayfair.

• 12:47Stavros Halkias?

  You're you're you're good though. I like where your head's at. It's just very funny that somebody with such a good plan could also to talk about their summer break so much, but yeah, dude.

• 12:57Speaker 04

  Hey, bro.

• 12:57Stavros Halkias?

  Cure yourself of that.

• 12:58Speaker 04

  Reminisce and bring it a little bit to the present.

• 13:02Speaker 02

  You do have an option for which I wouldn't usually condone this, but after the end of the tour, I'll say, see what you can make happen at the casino again. You know, don't put all your eggs in that basket. But maybe you could buy yourself another month or two with a lucky with a lucky hit at blackjack.

• 13:22Stavros Halkias?

  Option number four, you bet it all, you bet it all, you put all your money on black at the roulette table. If it hits, you go to Columbia, you go to Europe, then you go to fuck HVAC school, all right? Take option, you know what? So I'm telling you either option two or option four. That's what I'm voting for.

• 13:39Speaker 02

  Well, I'd say if you want to get ahead, always choose red. If you put it on black, they they always take it back.

• 13:48Stavros Halkias?

  Okay, man, you heard it from elders, dude.

• 13:52Stavros Halkias?

  You want to get ahead, bet on red, put it on black, they always take it back.

• 13:57Speaker 04

  No, absolutely.

• 14:02Stavros Halkias?

  This is a man who's up. He's he fucking he fucking took the Broward County Hard Rock for all their worth, man. He gets it. He doesn't need to hear from you elders. All right, man, go get that mouth fixed.

• 14:14Speaker 04

  The beam was shining bright that night.

• 14:18Stavros Halkias?

  Go get that fucking mouth fixed and get your fucking certificate, man.

• 14:22Speaker 02

  Good luck, Don Kuz.
