Transcript
00:00:00.000
ah so good come on then we're gonna have a guest and you don't know who it is yet
00:00:18.080
to not have apple sauce on me i could really use a towel on my chest
00:00:43.920
so um here's the plan i'm going to test some guests who have already signed in
00:01:01.920
but have not yet been approved so i'm going to see the the technology will be a little wonky today
00:01:08.080
to see what happens all right you'll see if i can check out some people
00:01:19.120
in no particular order and you'll get to talk maybe can anybody hear me
00:02:06.960
so step away i'll be with you as soon as i figure out the technology here
00:02:16.240
right now you're in the waiting room and see what happens
00:02:48.400
it could be that richard does not have his microphone on
00:02:52.720
let's go to the waiting room where there are many more people
00:02:56.640
i'm going to accept accept accept accept accept
00:05:19.360
there's a whole bunch of people with their microphones off
00:05:41.920
somebody might be getting promoted to a moderator
00:06:41.120
and then you're going to tell me what the hell i'm doing wrong
00:07:51.520
if i go to my locals i won't be able to see your comments
00:08:13.360
we're going to let you come in and just enjoy the day
00:08:32.000
but there does seem no way to put another face on here without really making me mad
00:08:56.960
i've got definitely got people here who want to come in
00:09:44.640
it will apply only to locals people who can find it
00:10:06.240
oh my god so are you telling me that the problem was not on my side
00:10:13.440
yes i thought you maybe had accidentally invited some of us into the studio and you didn't really
00:10:18.880
expect us to be here so out of respect for you i just kept my camera and my microphone off
00:10:24.320
oh so the whole time i thought the problem was on my end
00:10:34.640
all right so we are deep into the simultaneous sip experience
00:10:39.600
i'm going to read it off of my other cup and then use my real cup is everybody ready for this
00:10:51.120
all right the simultaneous sip all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass
00:10:58.400
a tanker of chelsea sign i can't even share your class a vessel of any kind fill it with your
00:11:05.200
favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the imperial pleasure of the dope
00:11:10.160
me the other day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous slip which is
00:11:21.920
uh now that's good now i can hear everybody's microphone unless you turn it off you don't have
00:11:37.520
to turn it off because i want this to feel like um you're just in my living room and you got all
00:11:46.400
invited over so some of you have some beverages some video so of course there'd be some background noise
00:11:54.320
but the vibe would be we just found some stuff to talk about now if you could hear yourself you probably
00:12:05.200
want to put it down a little bit of background does anybody have anything to eat
00:12:13.520
no is there anybody who wants to tell me what's going on today you just volunteer
00:12:31.680
and by the way if you don't have anything to talk about perfectly fine we're just getting together and
00:12:39.120
experiencing something today and as you can see the uh the chat is working fine so we've got it looks
00:12:52.240
like we've got as many people as i think i'm hearing myself
00:13:04.000
so the big reason i can't work this morning and maybe not again in the usual way is that my hands have
00:13:29.360
some kind of shaking and when i try to type my hands would just spent on typing so i keep selecting things
00:13:43.200
so i can do voice to voice station voice communication that is just what they got
00:13:54.960
oh don't cry i'm here it just won't be as good a show
00:14:05.920
so who do we have in the middle who is it who is the the nice one with the glasses on in the middle of my screen
00:14:14.480
that's me nicole hi hi great to see you and talk to you today
00:14:20.400
it's good likewise is there anything you wanted to say oh man i didn't know i was going to be on you
00:14:28.560
know so i'm not prepared but um i didn't do anything this morning i had my breakfast tacos and my uh
00:14:33.920
matcha latte and i didn't read the news yet well you should always have something prepared so not
00:14:54.480
that's a very good point that's a good point yeah he says always have a story prepared because you
00:15:03.200
never know so and the second thing is not to be so if you can do those things not be embarrassed and also
00:15:17.040
come up in the story you could have a really successful morning because that's just practice
00:15:23.440
so here's my here's my putting you on the spot for the purpose of giving you practice being put on the
00:15:33.120
spot number one uh and this applies to all but one of us one of us is the right distance from the screen
00:15:44.480
it's the gentleman on the top right of my screen i don't know but the bearded gentleman with the
00:15:51.600
headphones so wait wave if you hear me all right so he i believe he probably has more experience than
00:16:01.920
you do and how to set up the right height and everything you also want to make sure that you're
00:16:08.640
with the right height so he's got the right height and the right distance uh when when all of you
00:16:18.800
it didn't look like the wider distance now and by the way i had trouble catching you
00:16:26.160
catching your hearing problem right now what's the uh the nice woman in the glasses
00:16:33.360
what's your name what's your name nicole nicole so nicole you are now perfectly set up and
00:16:44.000
you are the inspiration to the rest of us you got the right height and you got the right distance
00:16:50.640
uh if you get too close it's creepy to the person i guess
00:16:54.560
that's all right now i stalled a little bit and it made me wonder if i could talk to you a little
00:17:04.640
story very short it doesn't have to be long about anything from what was the first time you joined
00:17:16.400
because the reason you practice with that one is that you already know the answer
00:17:20.960
you don't have to think about it just presentation so with uh our permission and mostly with your
00:17:29.520
permission just tell us briefly uh how you came upon it how long you've been watching it and then
00:17:37.520
also make it succinct so we can get to somebody else perfect okay so i always read dilbert growing up
00:17:45.920
and i always always um when i went on my work travels in particular i'd be riding the london tube
00:17:51.680
and i would be just like stifling my laughter um because it's not really appropriate to laugh out
00:17:57.040
loud on the tube um and so it was you know i already knew of you through that but then um
00:18:03.360
i i started looking for the comic online when i stopped getting the newspaper and i think it was
00:18:08.400
through reading the comic online that i heard about your blog and then it was through the blog that
00:18:13.440
i eventually heard about the periscope so i've been watching for a long time but um yeah that's how
00:18:19.520
like i i really just found you by seeking out dilbert comics and then liking the blog content and
00:18:26.560
moving on to liking the periscope and just keeping keeping on going so i would rate that a plus
00:18:33.360
i also just realized that matt who has added his name to the uh screen so apparently there's an option
00:18:46.080
for adding your name right that's correct matt can you tell us what you do for a living that would suggest
00:18:56.080
why you kind of were the first and uh best rollout what is the new background um well the funny thing
00:19:08.080
is that i'm a software engineer so like i already work from home i have a setup for all this so the
00:19:12.720
distance from the screen i take meetings all day like this um actually probably should be in a meeting
00:19:16.880
right now but you know there's sometimes more important things i'll be honest um but yeah i've been
00:19:22.240
doing this for a long time and i started listening to you back in 2016 um read your blog um came upon
00:19:28.640
our very first periscopes you were doing um as well uh the first simultaneous sip so i've been around
00:19:34.480
for a long time off and on you know i haven't been here every day um throughout that time but there's
00:19:38.640
been periods of time where i listen a lot um sometimes work makes it very hard for me to join live so
00:19:43.840
oftentimes my listening is later in the day um but you know i've always appreciated the sips and yeah just
00:19:50.000
uh i had started in the corporate world right when i met you or you know met you through your
00:19:55.280
periscope and everything and your blogs uh so it's a perfect time for me to start my career um and
00:20:01.040
honestly you've had a tremendous influence on the trajectory of my career and how how far that's gone
00:20:06.560
for me up to this point so thank you so much for that wow you're very good at this the only thing i would
00:20:12.160
advise is if if i can see your ceiling then your camera setup has to be a little bit higher
00:20:20.080
i usually blur out the background actually when i'm in my work meetings but that's a great point
00:20:24.160
so thank you and there's these uh i think you've seen it in the man cave there's these little wooden
00:20:30.400
stands those they say it's for your printer but it's way better for adjusting your camera so that's
00:20:38.320
yeah i appreciate that thank you all right um excuse me there's gonna be some perfume
00:20:47.760
in the middle of my screen i see two gentlemen who are bearded who do not have their names up
00:20:56.480
is it intentional that i can't see your name because there's obviously a place to put it somewhere i think
00:21:03.280
i have my name but it i see that it's showing up on the bottom bar but not showing up on your
00:21:08.800
presenter view i'm not sure why it's it doesn't display in rumble it's just going to go away from
00:21:16.240
view that way but but also i don't see anyone else's names in the in the top of view i only see their
00:21:22.160
our names down where we're pictured below so now now matt's name is gone i wonder why
00:21:30.160
let me try on my end um bearded man number one and bearded man number two
00:21:45.040
we'll try try sorting that out all right so i'm gonna try some other uh other people coming in
00:21:53.120
just give them a chance okay might make everybody disappear all right we got nine people but there
00:22:03.280
are more most of the problems are on my end it looks like i like it when you sit here and let me work
00:22:12.640
out my tech problems all right we'll go to duo ah okay that's duo mode
00:22:23.120
so if if this were a official presentation i'd want you to look about where i look if you see the
00:22:33.760
size and no no ceiling all right i'm going to be just struggling through this so i'm going to go to
00:22:46.640
there's a participant place where i can add more people
00:22:50.560
invite participants this is where my finger is doing things i don't want it to do so 57 of them
00:23:02.960
oh i can scroll them okay i was missing the scroll
00:23:06.640
all right we'll invite a few more people or am i
00:23:27.440
hey scott while you do that would it be okay if i tell my story about how i came across you
00:23:44.560
i'd love that yes okay so um i grew up on your comics um you're you're probably about 10 years older than
00:23:52.080
me uh so i kind of always looked at you like the older brother or the the smarter uncle um
00:23:58.720
and i remember reading the comics uh we had the one of the worst bosses i've ever had
00:24:03.760
we would he would say things through the week and it would show up in your comics the next weekend
00:24:08.720
you know something that the pointy-haired boss did so we started clipping them out and putting
00:24:12.960
them on his door and he would come into work and he'd read them and he wouldn't realize it was
00:24:17.440
about him and he would just die laughing he just thought they were the funniest thing um one day
00:24:22.000
it came out that that was really him and he was he got so upset he just came like literally clawed
00:24:27.680
everything off of his door um because he was so pissed off um and then uh you know of course i bought
00:24:34.960
your books through the years followed your comics and i didn't really pay a lot of attention to uh
00:24:39.680
politics i i knew this kerfuffle was going on with trump uh during his first year but then
00:24:45.840
during uh covet i was really looking for someone to help bring stability to my view and you know we
00:24:51.680
had the summer of love and all that kind of crazy stuff that was going on and you really uh helped
00:24:57.360
stabilize me you reminded me that we had a dark period in the 60s and 70s of a lot of uh internal
00:25:04.560
turmoil and you really helped provide the stability to me to know that we'll make it uh and we'll get
00:25:10.560
through this and then i thought it was uh wonderful for us to see you know trump 2 get started and uh
00:25:16.320
i just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me through probably the darkest
00:25:21.920
period i've ever been through with our with our country which has been the past four to five years
00:25:27.200
so thank you wow it makes me really happy when people tell me i helped and that was maybe the darkest
00:25:38.320
period of my life would you agree if you looked at not just your own personal life but if you looked at
00:25:54.080
and i'm sure there are tens or hundreds of thousands of people just like me who you helped
00:26:00.720
through that period of time all right i'll put you on the spot what was the or what were the things i
00:26:10.720
did besides just being here that made the biggest difference was there something i said or did or
00:26:18.240
allowed that were that really got you to that point of i can make it through this
00:26:25.440
some of it was realizing that you called balls and strikes um you you you were not a hundred percent
00:26:32.400
trumpian um and you could point out some bad things on the on the side of the right but the
00:26:40.960
the we've been here before we've had this sort of thing happen in the past and we'll make it through
00:26:47.120
and especially because i i didn't live through it but i remember the stories of uh the turmoil we had
00:26:53.840
in the 60s and 70s that was a period of my parents and you reminding me that our country had already been
00:27:00.240
there and we made it out um the another thing was you gave hope that i really felt like and still feel
00:27:07.680
like most of our politicians in the the deep state structure is uh evil and it's in place and it's
00:27:14.480
it's fighting to survive but it seemed like you gave a the the golden age was something that you kept
00:27:20.640
bringing up and it gave this light that there's a light at the end of the tunnel good and the right
00:27:25.920
will prevail the i don't mean the right side left and right politics i mean the right way of doing
00:27:30.880
things will prevail and just be patient and that really helped me through that period of time wow
00:27:39.840
do you remember that in the first days when there were these presumably now fake videos of chinese
00:27:47.280
people falling on the streets that was scary and do you remember that i was very um angrily or at least
00:27:59.280
animatedly saying we should shut down traffic from china at least at least until we figured out what's
00:28:06.640
going on do you remember that yes sir and there was so much opposition to that idea um yeah the same the
00:28:15.200
trump had it right too with isis and trump won you know he he greatly restricted immigration and who
00:28:20.720
was coming into our country and the the left was vehemently opposing him and turns out he was right
00:28:26.800
you know the the left got got their way for four years and it's been a disaster and now we see you know
00:28:32.480
the the uh not all muslims not all people in islam i don't want to classify them that way but we see
00:28:38.960
that there's this huge threat that we've allowed into our country through their four years and now hopefully
00:28:44.320
trump will be able to correct that yeah it was tough to be a persuader during that period because
00:28:50.240
you didn't know what to persuade to you know i'm no doctor but if somebody shows me pictures of people
00:28:56.880
dropping on the street in another country and then they say this this could be really catchy my first
00:29:03.920
instinct is just you know you do it as the lowest risk so i was like all right hold on hold on let's find
00:29:11.440
out what this is now i don't know if that was a right or wrong choice and there's gonna be a lot
00:29:17.840
of stuff that will be lost in history i'm sure there's you know x number of things i got wrong
00:29:24.960
x number of things i got right but since nobody knew the truth at that point you know we got smarter over
00:29:32.400
time but since nobody knew the truth i was very much into the uh uh risk reward mode i i would say
00:29:42.480
actually you know you mentioned that you may have some things that you got right some things that you
00:29:46.480
got wrong i i think that people uh um unfortunately for them they view things like that and i think that
00:29:55.120
you touched on the thing that is correct you do risk reward analysis this was another thing that you
00:29:59.920
taught us very well you do risk reward analysis and then you act off of that it doesn't mean your
00:30:05.280
outcome will always be the right way or the you know that you'll always avoid the wrong but at least
00:30:10.560
you did it with a lot of forethought so me deciding to drive a car although thousands of people die in
00:30:16.320
car accidents you know every year is a risk reward analysis it doesn't mean i'll never die in a car
00:30:21.440
accident um it doesn't mean that i definitely will but i'm gonna i'm going to do sound analysis
00:30:26.160
before i take action and this is what we were missing during the times of covet is they that
00:30:31.280
you know they just said oh you know six feet everybody will die you all have to wear a mask
00:30:35.920
and it was just ridiculous right all right so uh have we given time for anybody to uh check the news
00:30:44.960
and fill in on what's happening on x anybody got a good story just based on the news not based on yourself
00:30:56.160
so is iran about to fall what do you think anybody can jump in if you take your microphone off you
00:31:06.320
could just fill us in and by the way do you know all the good places to check if you're not watching um
00:31:16.720
on x if you're not watching mario nawful you're missing a great way to start the morning
00:31:24.240
because he has these long uh summaries of what's happening for the topics of the day
00:31:30.880
and boy are they good it gets up before i do it i'm always impressed
00:31:36.960
hi scott hi can you hear me this my name is sean carlson uh it's a pleasure to talk to you
00:31:43.280
yeah thank you i want to just say thank you for everything you you've done you've been a great
00:31:47.680
inspiration to me um i'll i'll start i live in uh plymouth minnesota so i'm just outside of
00:31:53.520
minneapolis and so they've been having all kinds of uh protests and unrest after you know the uh the
00:32:02.080
the tragic shooting of that girl um i my first impression of it is i was talking a lot about it with
00:32:09.760
co-workers and different people yesterday and everyone is sad because this girl lost her life
00:32:17.200
but it's hard to it's hard to say that she shouldn't have been there and she shouldn't
00:32:24.880
have been antagonized the general consensus that we got from the people that work around me in my bubble
00:32:30.720
is that she shouldn't have been there she shouldn't have been antagonizing these these people and she
00:32:35.920
shouldn't have been um you know we can't as you as you've always taught and i actually mentioned this
00:32:42.160
yesterday as you've always taught you can't get inside of that person's head and assume what she
00:32:46.800
was thinking right and i actually brought that up to my co-workers and and and we don't know what the
00:32:53.120
what the ice officer agent was thinking at that time i'm assuming he was in fear of his life or he was in
00:32:59.840
fear of something worse happening so um the overall uh response that we've had from our political lever
00:33:09.600
leaders here uh i'm looking at jacob fry on on the news here and then i've looked at uh tim walls um and
00:33:16.800
and their response too and the one thing that i get an immediate gut reaction to is that they're
00:33:26.080
ineffective leaders and and and the reason i say that is that they they posted their conclusions
00:33:36.400
prior to having all the evidence and so when i was talking to my my co-workers and such they kind of
00:33:44.080
agreed with me on that and you know small group eight people so it was it was a small census of of
00:33:51.520
of what's happening but my the people that i was talking to they live in minneapolis they live in
00:33:56.480
the south they live a couple miles from where it happened and so they're seeing the ice agents out
00:34:01.520
there they're seeing the other people as well so it's a um a new story that's developing here and
00:34:07.760
and uh and it's also is that the story of the ice agent who had already already been hit once
00:34:16.160
it was yeah and from what i understand that the gentleman had been hit he's actually had to he was
00:34:22.480
hospitalized he had 33 stitches from being hit with a car and so you know did that play an effect
00:34:30.400
into his mindset of when this you know seemingly maybe similar event occurred with him i don't know
00:34:38.400
but that's that i think he'll have his story to tell and he'll have his um his time there too and
00:34:45.200
and the other you know other to segue a little bit to the other main story that's that's occurring in
00:34:53.600
the news right now is our fraud cases and and it's just it's such a dominating story you've you've
00:35:01.600
mentioned so many times on you know when you scroll through x that it's every story and in in the
00:35:07.440
collective bubble and the general feeling too here just again from uh coffee with with my co-workers
00:35:17.360
is that it's it's really embarrassing to be a minnesotan at this point in time it's it's it's shameful to to
00:35:27.360
to feel like we can't um trust our government to be in our best interest and you know i i've seen
00:35:40.160
different posts and i've seen different things too that we um i saw one of these uh it was it was a
00:35:52.720
different influencer from a different thing on x but it was a lady from brazil she she broke it down
00:35:58.000
very well and that bribery in brazil and other countries and third world countries isn't that far
00:36:04.640
off from from um or loss of trust is the initial thing and then bribery and subsects of you know okay
00:36:14.480
i'll have to get mine you have to get yours and all these different areas of people um not um
00:36:24.800
believing in the system that's when it occurs when you have that that that breakdown of trust
00:36:31.280
and that breakdown of belief in government so i think i think there's a george soros uh type of
00:36:37.520
model going on meaning that soros figured down we could control cities by controlling just the
00:36:45.760
prosecutors and then if you get the mayor which is also not that expensive then you can basically
00:36:54.800
steal and cheat any way you want and it it will it will automatically be something that you could
00:37:02.480
get away with it so absolutely why do they get away with it so and i and in cheers and i've been a
00:37:10.960
listener now for a while and to your you actually opened my eyes to the fact that if there isn't any
00:37:18.880
audits if there's no controls you have a bunch of money a lot of complexity i think that's your
00:37:24.640
formula a bunch of money a lot of complexity there's automatic theft and and and there and we're
00:37:31.120
finding it in minnesota that it's it's it's at enormous scale it's not even conceivable that it's
00:37:40.320
beyond we knew it was happening but it's beyond even comprehension so it's it's it's really shameful
00:37:49.520
i've said this on the show but if you've worked with budgets before and you start to get you start
00:37:56.320
to get this instinct about when the budget is off that other people just can't see and so i don't know
00:38:03.920
when it was a year or two ago i started looking at the budget numbers and i thought there's no way
00:38:10.320
that you could get here just by not watching the numbers so this has to be a coordinated gigantic
00:38:19.200
effort and that that's what pulled me away all right do we have thank you so much i appreciate
00:38:27.360
you and and uh and i pray for you every day actually so i uh i um thank you so so here's what
00:38:36.880
we're trying to do trying to move the business model of what we were doing here from the coffee
00:38:43.200
with scott adams which you could enjoy it that way but try to move it into more of a casual uh well
00:38:51.440
informed living room competition or if somebody wants to not competition but if somebody wanted to just
00:39:00.640
tell us something that wasn't really coming out so it could be somebody wanted to say um today i'd like
00:39:10.160
to teach people something i learned on a mini lesson or something that if you were a young person you'd
00:39:16.720
really want to have this skill so we're going to go on a wild experiment in which there is no
00:39:24.960
well there will be rules but they will be made up by the people who participate so for example who's
00:39:33.360
the gentleman in the middle who had his dog it's me richard pickett yes richard i love that all right so
00:39:43.360
you're exactly the right vibe if you can't pick up your dog in the middle of it we're not where we want
00:39:50.320
to be so dogs are good all right i don't know how to change the people who have been invited already
00:40:01.520
to another view of people who have been invited already i might have to delete people to add people
00:40:08.640
so i'm still experimenting well i was gonna say maybe um if we go off camera and you invite more
00:40:15.200
people then we're off and then new people can come on yeah i was just trying to figure out that out
00:40:20.800
but i might drop you all let's see what happens thank you scott thank you thank you scott thank you
00:40:28.400
thank you all right let's see we'll see if i see if i can
00:40:37.040
all right you can't all right you can't hear well i can't like you so it's not if you can
00:40:58.960
let's see what happens if i go with mike burt and cryptic
00:41:05.760
and heisenberg i'm somewhat uh random but i know some of these people
00:41:10.880
uh beaver slayer jan all right for that you must be accepted um wait it says i thought i accepted you
00:41:36.160
and uh all right so oh there we go so you've got some people who were on before
00:41:47.760
some new people um again i'm waiting to see if there's any way i can see your names
00:41:55.760
and i'm going to turn off the microphone for some people if you've already spoken
00:42:08.160
uh i should have found a way to turn you off right all right i'm going to try to turn on
00:42:16.640
why is it all the same people after the half of you are the same don't know why all right every time
00:42:24.480
i remember so can i got sorry to interrupt you i think what's happening you've invited
00:42:29.120
it looks like you've invited 15 people to participate um in order for us to come on or
00:42:34.400
come off like with our cameras we have to do that ourselves so we have to either share or unshare our
00:42:39.600
camera i don't know how to take myself off as a participant but those people who just joined if
00:42:44.960
they share their camera they should be on and then for those of us who are on we can unshare ours
00:42:50.000
all right i'm going to hit a dismiss button it looks like it's going to dismiss everybody but
00:42:56.480
then i'll add people back on let's see what happens nope all right it took me three clicks
00:43:09.840
how do i delete some of you but not all of you jrc can you turn your camera off you you would also
00:43:20.480
disappear from there you go thank you oh new people hello new people what's up all right we're going to try
00:43:30.320
to uh who is i'm going to turn on your microphone yeah i guess you have it off so there's a woman in
00:43:41.120
the middle of my screen toward the bottom who has just waved to me uh that's another one hello yes hello hello
00:43:52.240
this is sarah did you say sarah sarah yes sarah oh you let us know what you're up to you could
00:44:06.640
you could uh tell us what's in the news that we haven't seen yet or you could talk about something
00:44:12.080
we're so experimentally okay um well morning i was just but anyway um i did catch up on news and
00:44:22.320
uh you know just watching left europe to give us another round of 2020 has me concerned i think um
00:44:33.440
it'll be interesting to see uh what tries to do because it seems like the leadership minnesota is just
00:44:41.520
baiting them into doing something and um but i don't know that the country's in the same position we
00:44:49.760
were in in 2020 um in terms of i guess being supportive of you know why what run again and fires and
00:45:01.440
lots of destruction so i'm interested here that you think uh might uh happen in order to like shift the
00:45:10.240
direction that we seem to be going in uh at the moment what are you talking about a state or the
00:45:18.640
country uh well this i mean it looks like blue cities are gearing up right to you know last night
00:45:26.640
new york city um you know really getting lots of people out on the street and then of course uh minneapolis
00:45:33.760
it looks like they're trying to set up another chas type situation uh yeah they're setting up
00:45:41.280
a barrier around kind of around the area where that woman was killed uh to keep residents from their
00:45:49.120
homes and everything is what i saw this morning uh so like i said are we gonna you know sort of just
00:45:56.160
let that go on again or is something you know gonna happen that's a little you know stamps it out a
00:46:02.640
a little bit better i don't know i'm just great well at this point doesn't everybody know that the um
00:46:12.400
that the protests are not organic you know it's uh soros it's you know some guy from china some
00:46:20.160
billionaire from china i wonder if it's gonna have the same effect when it becomes really really obvious
00:46:26.640
that it's not coming from inside the tent it's coming from billionaires who may may not have our
00:46:34.480
interests in mind how many of you how many these were inauthentic protests raise your hand
00:46:45.840
yeah so yeah yep so i've got a feeling that at least part of the country is completely
00:46:53.280
filled in now that's gotta make a difference don't you think so i hope the process stay weak and
00:47:03.040
that it looks performative okay what about the international news anybody have any update on iran
00:47:12.480
because that looks as inauthentic as if anybody wants to jump in just go ahead
00:47:19.440
well any moment now it just seems like we're going to jump in on iran it's not a moment of
00:47:29.440
if but when and it's probably going to be very soon do you believe that we're already gonna we're
00:47:38.240
already poised to go in militarily definitely um what would the way that trump what would it look like
00:47:48.240
yeah i mean what trump wants to do i think is similar to the venezuela tactic which is just a
00:48:00.640
in and out type thing kind of like what happened a few months ago in iran where he bombed the facilities
00:48:08.000
and all that but other countries want us to or another country wants us to go all in more for a
00:48:16.240
regime change type battle so i i'm hoping there's no false flag nothing that'll draw us in super
00:48:26.000
like super deep super heavy into it so there's no telling we'll definitely be involved but
00:48:31.760
to what to what scale i don't hopefully not not super super invested in iran it's just it's
00:48:39.040
it's too much of a risk i think so if we don't get invested what's that going to look like
00:48:50.400
well that's it shouldn't be as much of our concern as they're making it out to be
00:48:56.480
uh honestly we shouldn't be involved in iran it to the extent of uh inner interceding if there's like
00:49:05.440
protesters being hit as trump uh mentioned recently we should uh we should help the protesters if
00:49:13.200
they're shot at or killed um there that happens a lot more often than not but it seems like a pretext
00:49:21.440
to be able to say oh we're jumping in to help you know to show face for the international community
00:49:26.960
but that's more of a pretext because we've we've been wanting to uh bomb iran according to what
00:49:34.000
they've been uh indicating posturing yeah it looks like there's a lot of posturing yeah but it seems
00:49:42.160
inevitable there's a gentleman in the top right who has his microphone off he looks like he's just
00:49:51.200
dying to say something well hello scott this is eddie hey been a long time fan yeah thanks love you man
00:50:02.560
now the the new rules are you don't have to be prepared and you don't have to say anything in
00:50:08.320
particular so if you're just prepared just like i even got logged in
00:50:13.440
so do you have any thoughts on ran or venezuela let's say i think with iran i'm not sure what
00:50:24.800
we as the u.s can possibly do to do anything overtly there's probably plenty going on behind the scenes
00:50:33.600
that we can never understand uh i think you might recall a week or two ago we saw something about israel
00:50:42.800
claiming they had a presence there yeah i'm wondering what you know what's really going on with that so
00:50:53.680
yeah it did make me wonder why uh why trump would admit that we're there and masad is there and we're
00:51:03.440
ready to go seems like too much but so far and i guess elon musk has
00:51:12.240
sort of secretly provided some star links so they can't turn off the internet entirely
00:51:19.040
seems dangerous though is there no way the regime can find out where the star links are and then
00:51:24.880
go kill the citizens it's probably hard to trace you know if you have a base station and it's pointing
00:51:33.600
straight up at the satellites i'm not sure what mechanism they'd use to search it some sort of radio
00:51:40.400
signal device maybe but it would have to they would have to know what they're looking for
00:51:46.400
my dad's got one down in the hills in west virginia and it works great
00:51:50.720
and uh i could see it being pretty stealthy i i could i could imagine it also being
00:52:00.320
uh discoverable by chinese technology yeah yeah but but maybe not everywhere in every way
00:52:07.760
you might have to pick it up and move all right um how's this working for all of you
00:52:18.080
i know you didn't expect this love it it's great i think that's a nice black dog show us your dog
00:52:27.280
right here yeah oh come on lyra yeah let me move there let me see if i can get her in there she i
00:52:37.760
just adopted her from let's see if i can um get the camera and i yeah she she just came from the shelter a month ago um i'd
00:52:50.080
lost i'd lost my dog my dog the day before mother's day and it took me seven months of
00:52:57.040
really grieving and deciding what to do but she is just a wonderful dog she's four years old and she has
00:53:04.560
just made my life complete again so um i'm very happy and she's real happy here and i tell her every
00:53:16.240
day she will never be abandoned again well if you teach you english that's gonna work out really well
00:53:24.400
that's right that's right i've been i've been doing more looking at just by the the news light is
00:53:31.760
uh robert garcia because he's from my city of long beach and most corrupt uh i'm sure stealing every
00:53:43.520
bit of money in this city it's terribly blue liberal they actually promote on their website and facebook page
00:53:55.360
how we're gonna fight ice and um we got to protect all the illegals and and i call him the upcoming
00:54:03.120
designated liar if you watch him he is going to he is he's going to become that's what he's really
00:54:11.520
training for there there's nothing good about uh what's going on here and i see it just expanding they
00:54:21.440
want to that redistricting they want to take over the huntington beach and the other orange county
00:54:28.400
cities they want to put garcia in there overseeing them because they're very red and very republican
00:54:36.160
and you see them trying to squelch everything so i i've been kind of watching and you know more i mean i
00:54:43.840
love getting all the international news and and but just seeing what's happening in my area um
00:54:53.200

00:56:37.600
my second time on your show first time in person first time was just in name only uh my last name
00:56:43.280
is skidmore and you i sent you an article about uh a truck that had crashed with a bunch of marinara
00:56:48.960
sauce uh all over the road and you thought that was funny coming from a guy named skidmore and uh so
00:56:55.760
that you opened your show with that one morning my dad and i got a big jolt out of that we listened
00:57:00.400
to all the periscopes and everything all through especially the early days of the pandemic and it
00:57:04.480
was really helpful i got one news thing and one helpful thing since you asked for that um the news
00:57:10.960
thing that i saw that i thought was interesting is that uae announced that it's going to cut fundings
00:57:15.840
for citizens who want to study in the uk out of fear of emirati students being radicalized by
00:57:22.000
muslim brotherhood islamists on british campuses oh wow so you have an arab nation that's saying don't
00:57:28.320
go to the uk you'll be you'll be radicalized and uh i've only been to the uk one time it was to scotland
00:57:37.280
but we saw there all these gorgeous beautiful churches that had been there for centuries and
00:57:42.480
they're all like bars and nightclubs and stuff now and um i just you know it's kind of nature abhors a
00:57:50.000
vacuum and if you get rid of one ideology if you get rid of one thing some other uh aggressive
00:57:56.080
ideology is going to come in and fill that space and i think that we are seeing that happen in europe
00:58:02.560
and i think um you know a lot of times the us is just a little bit behind what's going on in europe uh
00:58:09.600
politically and culturally sometimes so i think we need to just look at that and think about that
00:58:15.680
but i think that it points to things that you've taught us in terms of persuasion and that um if
00:58:20.880
you persuade people against something then they'll just focus on that negative thing or other negative
00:58:25.360
things will come in but if you persuade somebody towards something then uh there's some new positive
00:58:30.720
thing that fills that space and and you sort of don't go back from there and so anyway that's why
00:58:36.000
i feel like your stuff has been important for us because it gives us more often than not it gives us
00:58:39.760
something to um to to look forward to and to fill all of our our fear our anxiety it gives us some
00:58:46.320
sort of positive thing or some action to take which i've really been appreciative of yeah yeah i've been
00:58:51.760
making a big deal about about the fact that the world never stays the same and if if you're moving
00:58:59.440
and everything does you're either getting bigger or you're getting smaller and once you realize that
00:59:05.600
that that's like a almost an unbreakable rule uh then you can sort of see the future so to the extent
00:59:14.640
that islam is you know growing in europe once it reaches a kind of a maybe a 10 threshold you can't
00:59:24.880
stop it so the only thing that would stop it is something that reversed it you know because stopping
00:59:31.120
is an option so i it looks to me like uh europe or most of it is going to become islamic
00:59:40.400
and there's no but it's an intentional part of of at least a section of the ideology i've seen it here
00:59:46.800
in my hometown here in the south in the us where a little tiny baptist church has a giant mosque built
00:59:52.480
behind it it's built specifically as close to the property line as they can get it higher than the
00:59:57.440
church so that you see the mosque over the church as you're driving towards it um you know it's really
01:00:02.640
it's really intentional and um i don't know a whole lot about it i'm trying to learn a little bit about
01:00:07.280
it but um i just think it's something that we should take note of especially when other arab nations are
01:00:12.240
like hey don't go over there uh my useful thing uh which is probably just a rehash of things that you
01:00:17.520
shared with us before but um i'm an extremely introverted person and when called upon i i can talk
01:00:23.440
about things that i'm passionate about without an issue i don't have any problems with public
01:00:26.960
speaking i don't get stage fright or anything but when it comes to talking with a group of people or
01:00:31.120
being in a social situation that has been difficult for me historically but one question that i found
01:00:35.920
that has helped me with that is what are you thankful for and you can ask that to somebody in
01:00:41.040
an elevator you can ask that to your cashier to your uh the person serving you at a restaurant you
01:00:46.400
can ask it to your family to your best friend and it's better than how are you because it
01:00:50.400
doesn't demand sort of a pad answer makes them have to think about it makes them think about
01:00:54.080
positive things even if they give you a pad answer back like oh my family or my job that
01:00:59.040
that gives me something to then say does your family live here or how long have you been working
01:01:03.200
here or something that just kind of gives me a genuine interaction with a human being i'm a spiritual
01:01:07.920
person but not everybody is and so uh saying things like can i pray for you about something or
01:01:13.040
something like that is sometimes a little too forward for people but i don't think i've ever had anybody
01:01:18.480
uh be offended by asking what they're thankful for and so if there's other people watching um that
01:01:25.280
find it difficult to start conversations that's a great conversation starter and it'll give you some
01:01:28.880
place to go that is a really good tip because i can tell you're not um intimidated by any kind of
01:01:37.040
anything basically you're obviously a brave person who overcomes um not a stage fight but you know what
01:01:44.880
i mean uh you know dale carnegie has this little list of things you should ask where do you work you know
01:01:53.760
but yours will work yours would work every time because it makes people stop and think and it makes
01:02:01.280
them stop and think about something positive so that's a really good tip so what are you thankful
01:02:08.080
what are you thankful for this morning scott you know what i'm thankful that we're here and we're
01:02:13.920
we're making this experiment and so far it looks like it works now we don't know how well well it will
01:02:21.440
so i'm still slurring my speech from the the paralysis we don't know how it will work if i'm not part of the mix
01:02:31.920
but what i'm seeing already is that people are uh polite well informed and willing to
01:02:41.360
sort of adopt a set of standards without being told and that's actually exciting to me
01:02:48.240
because i don't believe every audience would be able to do what we're doing right now
01:02:53.280
which is taking turns waiting understanding the role and then being polite about it so with that
01:03:04.160
i want to thank you for the gentleman who's been waiting here a long time who's name i don't know
01:03:11.120
um you have a black beard and some headphones on if your microphone is on can you jump right in
01:03:32.640
okay there must be a microphone button somewhere on your screen no
01:03:46.160
it should be in the bottom left or just the bottom
01:03:49.040
no okay can you hear me now yes all right here we go
01:04:00.720
oh weird yeah it's my head's up for everything else but yeah and i was just uh yeah thank you scott um
01:04:07.200
so yeah i i just had a story about like how uh you actually like really helped um me surprise my
01:04:13.600
my wife on my wedding um it was like a year long thing so like my uh my wife uh she's a great singer
01:04:21.440
right um she loves to sing and um so i used what you you taught us um to like teach myself like how to sing um
01:04:31.360
in like a year's time you know not great but like better than i was um for sure um but yeah so
01:04:38.960
i i surprised i got a wedding with a song and um so the way he helped me was um through uh systems
01:04:45.760
over goals um affirmations and then simulation as well so um i i scheduled you know um doing like
01:04:54.240
weekly like vocal lessons and like doing like it for like a half hour every day like going to
01:04:59.120
going through it and then i was doing affirmations and my affirmations were um this is like the crazy
01:05:04.560
crazy part is that i was my affirmations were um i was saying to my wife perfectly all right i was
01:05:12.560
seeing my wife perfectly and i would write that down every day but i was super nervous about it
01:05:18.160
and um so i i would do that and then as i was picking my song um the song i ended up picking was
01:05:24.400
was perfect by Ed Sheeran and um on be honest me that's the same song that she ended up walking down
01:05:32.400
to aisle two that's perfect by Ed Sheeran really yeah wow yeah so it was uh it was crazy um but yeah
01:05:43.120
so we get to the we get to the day get to the part where i sing to her and um you know i've been
01:05:49.840
practicing this like forever because because of the systems and i had a special vocal um like backing
01:05:56.560
for it um like a special like piano version with the song so i set up to the dj and the dj was streaming
01:06:02.400
it and then halfway through the the song um the internet goes out like so i i'm up there um and my
01:06:12.080
wife is there and like um i'm in front of all of our family and friends and um i got through the first
01:06:18.080
verse um and then you know i had to go to the second verse and then i just i just did acapella
01:06:24.320
and i was like we're in a simulation and it doesn't matter anyway um so i'm just i'm just going to do
01:06:30.400
it you know um and yeah then like you know the affirmations and her picking that song and i was
01:06:36.880
like this is this is my chance i'm just going to do it i'm going to go for it acapella and uh i did it
01:06:41.120
that's uh like you know part that everybody remembers and yeah i'm very very grateful for um you know
01:06:46.880
the teachings the the fact that you could get through that and that you could you know just
01:06:53.120
instantly accommodated is super impressive um i've had some speeches like that where you know the
01:07:02.320
sound goes down in the middle and it's recovering that people remember so how comfortable will you be
01:07:13.600
singing to us right now hold on not the whole song but just a little snippet
01:07:21.040
to just show us where you're at and remember the goal here is not to do it well the goal is
01:07:28.080
to show us that you could do it that that you're not afraid of it and that that's something you've
01:07:33.680
conquered it could be five seconds long but if you feel comfortable i don't want to put you in a spot
01:07:40.400
but i also do i i do want to put you in the spot just because i want to i want to see well i want you to
01:07:50.480
see that the other people will just sort of appreciate it but there's no downside more so ever
01:08:17.200
darling just dive right in and follow my lead well i found a girl beautiful and sweet
01:08:44.640
yeah thank you what did you just learn it's a positive experience yeah yeah no i feel good for
01:08:53.120
doing it yeah well thank you for that story thanks for the accompaniment
01:09:06.400
my name is jeff colorado that was nice how did you know what to play i just strumming some chords
01:09:17.840
uh i've got the wichita lineman here drawn up in tablature it's beautiful song i'm learning to play
01:09:31.360
all right well that was impressive if you had put me on the spot like that um that would have been a
01:09:38.720
challenge and i do a lot of this you know online so you know i i i uh i thought you might
01:09:45.360
ask about the story um yeah it's so funny but yeah i don't know i am the one like so ever since
01:09:53.440
i started doing that i'm i'm the one that like you know our parties and stuff doing karaoke and i'm
01:09:58.320
kind of like known for that now and liking it it's a tough one so okay you gave me uh the gift
01:10:04.160
yeah you you have a great national voice that's half the game thank you
01:10:09.040
so i've got a tip for you uh just record yourself and listen to your voice over and over and see
01:10:18.240
yourself improve and actually begin to enjoy your voice more and i think that helps you evolve as a
01:10:26.480
performer yeah so i actually um after after we sang like i i was like um yeah i i i've gotten out of it
01:10:35.840
um like i i i i practiced so much for the wedding and after the wedding like i i don't know um we do
01:10:42.720
it for fun but i'm not like i don't want to do it like uh you know super perfectly i don't know if i
01:10:48.880
yeah with more systems i could sure um good point well that was a great experiment and let's talk to
01:10:58.160
some other people um i usually don't go too far down the music road because i don't know anything about
01:11:03.840
this uh but i see mike burr up here is mike burr on screen
01:11:17.760
may i make one point about the affirmations yes so in one of your books or in several of your
01:11:25.280
listenings you you had said that you had not kind of figured out how to make the affirmations or why they
01:11:32.160
work um i actually did some research on it and so the neurobiology of your brain so you have an area
01:11:40.240
of your brain called the reticular activating system and so your brain itself um only follows
01:11:49.920
you i've developed the whole system and largely in credit to you but your brain will follow instructions
01:11:56.720
unconsciously so it'll search for meaning throughout the day and so whatever you put into it i'm going
01:12:04.480
to sing beautifully to my to my wife or i'm going to you know be the best number one comic in the world
01:12:11.760
your brain finds meaning in the world and so it's how we are neurobiology wired so that we could survive
01:12:19.360
and so we need to find food we need to find a mate we need to find you know shelter when we're when
01:12:26.960
we're programming our mind into the affirmation itself it actually searches for meaning where there
01:12:34.720
wasn't one like it's like you buy a car and all of a sudden you see that car or you've bought a house
01:12:40.400
and all of a sudden you see that house but that's that's the the neurobiology wiring for it so anyways
01:12:47.520
thanks for thanks for helping me go down that rabbit hole now i'm seeing um i don't see who was talking
01:12:57.040
i can't figure that wait they had their camera off
01:13:01.360
i had my camera off scott so i was i was just i i was yeah chiming in thanks no one more thing could
01:13:11.520
i add to it um that they taught us was the uh embarrassment super power that not getting
01:13:17.920
embarrassed the superpower and uh yeah that's uh definitely very helpful just want to add that thanks
01:13:24.400
do we have a cat all right we're gonna go to cat man
01:13:34.640
that's that i can get off you i don't know how how long cat man will last
01:13:44.000
well did we have something you'd like to contribute for rats yeah they don't do it they don't do it
01:13:50.320
yeah cats are not very patient yeah thanks thanks scott it's uh this is such a fun format and um kudos to
01:13:58.640
the gentleman that sang on live so i was actually the thing i wanted to uh share was that how freeing
01:14:06.800
it is that uh not being afraid of embarrassment that's had a huge impact for me um just not taking
01:14:13.520
yourself too seriously and uh living life like the adventure that it is um so that's been hugely
01:14:22.640
impactful for me so i appreciate that scott and uh this this format's a lot of fun so i was not
01:14:28.080
expecting that i'm i've missed four work calls a lot of emails are coming in but this is a lot more fun
01:14:33.520
what can i say so good choice yes and as time goes by you're all going to realize that the person who got
01:14:42.720
the most out of this is the gentleman who sang for us it was the biggest risk and the biggest reward
01:14:52.000
and that was well taken so all right let's see if we get some more on international news see if
01:15:00.800
anybody's into the venezuela because i feel like i'm a little bit behind on ukraine and venezuela and
01:15:07.920
china's response is there anybody who's caught up this morning uh no here
01:15:19.920
all right let's let's take a gentleman with the white uniforms on and then after that we'll talk
01:15:27.440
about some international news hey mr adams hi thank you for having me uh i just want to tune in uh thank
01:15:35.600
you so much for all the time energy and effort you put into your show um you know i found you about
01:15:41.680
you know it was about three years ago when you had initially gotten canceled um and around that time
01:15:47.840
you know for the past like four or five years uh i was really interested in the non-stop sensationalism
01:15:53.360
around like race and critical race theory and left me really frustrated and skeptical about how we were
01:15:58.320
shifting as a society on the topic of racism and uh when you got canceled for your comments i just didn't
01:16:03.920
buy the media narrative about it um and i didn't believe you were actually a racist because i felt
01:16:09.040
like that false accusation was going on around so much so i started watching your videos mainly to
01:16:15.360
fact check and see for myself and i ended up deciding that i didn't believe the media narrative about you
01:16:19.920
but um i also realized i stumbled onto something genuinely amazing uh your commentary on politics and
01:16:26.320
culture and life is some of those clear-eyed insightful stuff i've ever come across and uh actually when i found
01:16:32.080
you i was struggling hard with addiction uh career direction um ship issues yes sir and um you know
01:16:40.400
i was just trying to figure out what the hell my purpose was and um your perspective and reframes have
01:16:45.520
been a really bright spot and a pretty rough spot in my life um and you know i was able to quit my
01:16:52.560
addiction um i was really deep into i don't know if you guys know what kratom is um but it's essentially
01:16:59.120
that at least the levels that i was doing kind of like painkillers um i was able to stabilize my
01:17:04.160
career and expand on my business that i've been running for the past 10 years um i was able to
01:17:09.040
pursue building talent stacks and um save my relationship that was really struggling at the
01:17:14.000
time so um you know i've and i found a really great meaning by being useful to other people and
01:17:20.720
being more present for people because you know my addiction and things like that was something that
01:17:24.880
made me very absent uh in a lot of people's lives and i wasn't being as useful as i could be so i just
01:17:31.120
want to thank you so much for everything that you've done for us and i'm really grateful for all the time
01:17:35.840
all the things you've done for us um i've watched you every single day ever since the day you got
01:17:40.560
canceled and um i'm really grateful for your generosity that's what i do it for you were the reason
01:17:48.480
that this has meaning for me and when you tell me it has extra deep meaning because you know you want
01:17:59.680
to go through this world knowing that you made an impact and a good one and so i've told you this
01:18:06.320
story of course how uh after my divorce i pledged myself to the world and hope that you know there
01:18:15.200
would be some kind of ripple effect that went forward so it means a lot to me when you tell me
01:18:19.520
that thank you thank you mr adams let's see if we can get some um topics about the world
01:18:33.520
okay if you've been on a while could you turn off your camera and we'll get some new people who
01:18:41.680
come up here and if there are some new people who have been good morning how are you i'm good how
01:18:51.520
are you i'm great thank you it's it's nice to connect with you and this is a really fun forum that you
01:18:57.680
have going on i like the fact that people are not walking over each other and everybody's being polite
01:19:06.560
i wasn't sure that would be the case do you have anything to say yeah i'll keep it brief um i just
01:19:14.960
want to say hey thank you you've been a a great guide in this crazy world especially as a young person and
01:19:26.240
things that you have taught such as talent stacks systems over goals and embarrassments have been
01:19:34.720
really crucial lessons in my successes and my continual successes um i my the path i took in life was to
01:19:46.080
learn this crazy niche trade of uh of making neon signs and um to learn this and to to go uh here and to be
01:19:58.080
successful really required each one of these systems uh to ensure my success so again thank you and a
01:20:05.440
daily listener for a very long time now good i'm glad that worked out thanks for telling me
01:20:12.800
i'm gonna give one tip to the the uh collar just above you um to move your face away from the screen a
01:20:24.160
little bit my arms are only so long scott so you know i'm on my phone so i i guess uh that's about as
01:20:32.320
far as i can go much better much better i apologize all right um so i go by heisenberg um
01:20:39.920
because i'm in the uh occupied state of california and um that's good there we go um i guess there's
01:20:48.560
also the clipping from the uh from the uh other people on the screen so it clipped up my uh my video
01:20:57.040
um so uh really appreciate you and everything you've done i've um uh just i don't know if you've
01:21:08.000
recalled any of the comments i've made or anything but you know i um i'm a cancer survivor i had a
01:21:15.440
bladder cancer and a pretty severe bladder cancer and so i kind of walked um with you here in in this
01:21:23.920
uh journey here so um my my result has been good so far for 10 years so um nice but i really appreciate
01:21:34.000

01:21:41.680
you here with us as long as we can wow nice yeah well i guess i feel like a you gotta clean right here
01:21:54.720
it's a problem with this model my lips are paralyzed yep
01:22:04.800

01:22:10.240
yeah so lots of love from everybody here everyone's really happy to see you every day so thank you
01:22:27.840
looks like somebody below you wants to make a comment in the orange
01:22:32.160
hi scott hi how you doing good excellent did you have anything to say about international affairs
01:22:43.760
uh to be honest uh it's very fascinating and i'm just pretty much an observer uh i just have to pay
01:22:50.800
attention and uh see what everybody's got to say about it i like to look at it from like the most logical
01:22:57.280
uh perspective uh perspective uh and i'm getting a lot of that from you and uh i recently joined uh the uh locals
01:23:08.960
uh i want to say about three weeks ago and uh and i did it because you actually remind me of my dad
01:23:18.480
uh and uh he's not with us anymore he passed away in 2004 and uh yeah i just kind of stumbled across
01:23:29.280
everything i'm i'm a late bloomer i'm gonna be honest and uh uh uh yeah it's uh you know i do i
01:23:37.840
i've been watching a lot of stuff on x that's mainly where i get my news and um and of course uh locals uh
01:23:46.800
uh been been here every morning since i've joined wow i can't hold my i'm on my phone i tried to use
01:23:54.720
my computer i couldn't figure that one out um it's morning time and uh you know i'm in my morning i
01:24:02.480
got the silly hat on i apologize for that but uh it's not real warm in my house i'm in lower michigan
01:24:08.640
real wind and uh well thank you for joining and thank you i'm glad i figured
01:24:16.640
it out and thank you i'm really glad i'll talk to you i never jumped that i'd get to actually talk
01:24:21.120
to you i was just talking i was talking to another cartoonist yesterday about how early days when we
01:24:30.320
were single and early sort of periods of signal and if i do a uh a book signing there'd be a long
01:24:39.520
you know line of people want to get their books out uh and i looked in the row and it'd be like man
01:24:46.160
man man man man man and then there'd be one you know attractive woman and i say to myself this seems
01:24:55.440
that i'm very attractive to some women because they're standing in line to get my book signed and
01:25:01.360
then when they come up every single time the woman would say oh my father loves you can you sign this
01:25:10.080
from my dad well that's right my ego would go all right oh you actually look like my dad um i wish
01:25:19.200
i could show you a picture of my dad i don't have a way of doing it but uh um you really resemble my
01:25:23.840
father i am your dad i think you might be uh incarnation it's pretty wild uh he was a very
01:25:33.360
logical-minded guy he uh when i was very little i didn't even pay attention to anything or anything
01:25:39.360
about politics and uh he told me uh uh that uh biden is a crook and and i was pretty young i might have
01:25:48.640
been like 14 i'm i'm gonna be uh 64 pretty quick and uh it and i i remembered him saying that and
01:25:59.840
then i just started kind of paying attention to stuff and and you know at the time i wasn't voting
01:26:04.880
or anything obviously i was pretty young and um then then when i got older i always voted you know
01:26:11.440
conservatively and uh started paying a little bit of attention to stuff but as i got older i started
01:26:18.560
paying a wee bit more attention and learning you know there's some pretty interesting stuff but then
01:26:24.240
when uh president trump got elected on his first term is when everything kind of went from darkness
01:26:30.640
to light that's when like it was like the big reveal when we really started learning about the
01:26:35.840
stuff that we didn't get access to before um and then it really just snowballed i mean it was like
01:26:44.160
amazing and then when uh elon bought twitter i mean that i'm just gonna say that just saved us all
01:26:52.160
that's probably saved maybe the entire world i know that's a big thing to say and uh it's it's a great
01:27:00.560
time to just be aware of what's going on yeah it was an amazing time i'm trying to multitask here
01:27:09.120
thank you scott what's that oh uh i was just wondering um it's really intimidating coming up
01:27:17.120
on camera in front of all these people i think uh do you think maybe you should offer some people to
01:27:22.480
just like talk from the uh waiting room uh on audio only well that's what i'm trying to figure out
01:27:30.560
is that well all they have to do all they have to do is um unmute their mic and talk and so if we
01:27:37.200
just invite them i think they they might but the video would be there right uh the video is not going
01:27:43.440
to be up and let's see you're in auto mode so it only pulls people up if um but i think they can
01:27:50.880
unmute from the uh can somebody try to unmute and say hi from the waiting room yo yo yo
01:28:00.560
okay who is that jeff that was so you could all hear jeff but you cannot see him right right and
01:28:12.720
we don't know who it is that the people that are just watching won't know who it is if they don't
01:28:16.720
tell us okay yeah i think there are only 15 people in here and i think i think it seems like most people
01:28:22.800
who've wanted to speak have come on camera and talked already um maybe there's something
01:28:26.720
okay because i'm already looking for owen and i see that owen volunteered but i do not have know how
01:28:37.040
to get owen on audio but not video but always smarter than i am so right now i'm just showing
01:29:00.400
all right one extra person jumped on you have to dismiss again
01:29:06.720
this interface needs some clarification there's a whole bunch of people i i allowed that they don't
01:29:33.840
maybe a delay here too but keeps going back to the last three
01:29:39.440
scott i just wanted to mention this is jeff again i didn't get to say this when i was on the live stream
01:29:45.040
but i was actually referred to you by chat gpt really yeah about about a year and a half or two ago
01:29:58.640
i was asking i put in some filters i asked about podcasters commentary and things like that and you came up in the list
01:30:07.280
and it's been smooth sailing since and i just wanted to also uh wish you a wonderful day
01:30:18.240
and look forward to you know continuing to take in your content and consider uh consider the wisdom
01:30:26.800
well thank you now why are some people popping in now it's because their video turns on and you're in auto mode
01:30:35.280
okay so i'm looking at a gentleman in the old wooden room
01:30:44.720
and you are uh my name is grant turner scott nice to meet you
01:30:52.400
and oh look sorry you got you got overshadowed by

the book okay go ahead um yes scott i'm uh i'm i am so grateful to have found you um i'm i'm a i
01:32:08.320
became an entrepreneur early in life and i was i got in very deep and then i learned about systems and
01:32:23.440
the the first decade of being an entrepreneur was brutal and uh systems has allowed me to just
01:32:33.520
kind of cruise through the second half of my of my career as an entrepreneur and i i owe it to you
01:32:41.520
i'm so grateful wow what what did you do differently exactly with systems versus goals
01:32:50.000
well i was reactive only so i spent all day putting out fires i never um i i never had the luxury of
01:33:00.320
really planning ahead i namely because i i just grew so quickly i started with a construction company and
01:33:08.160
then it was a restaurant and another restaurant and uh it just it was a runaway train i was more
01:33:14.400
productive than i could keep up with um so systems for everything if it's if it requires me to be
01:33:23.200
involved i'm not doing it so um and it's not just delegating it's it's and and it's part of my system is never just
01:33:33.120
okay this is my system i'm done i refine it and refine it and refine it and when i think i'm done
01:33:40.000
i just keep refining it and it feels like i guess the the best way to put it my business
01:33:48.720
10 years ago before i found you felt like an old tractor or something you know like it was
01:33:54.800
it was breaking down and smoking and shaking and rattling and now it feels like a tesla it feels
01:34:03.520
like a self-driving car it's smooth it purrs it's wonderful and maybe the most rewarding part of it
01:34:11.520
is that i'm now giving your books to my employees who are showing an entrepreneurial spirit and coming
01:34:19.280
up underneath me i'm passing your lessons along but i gotta tell you scott while i've got you i gotta
01:34:25.440
tell you the number one thing that you've done for me in my life um during covid
01:34:34.880
my businesses my restaurants were shut down my my girlfriend was at the time was was
01:34:44.320
things weren't good covid was not it was not fun for us so she split up uh we split up and uh i was
01:34:54.400
about 40 and alone and or late 30s alone my business is crumbling and i was going down baby like it was not
01:35:06.400
good for me and thank you so much scott the simultaneous swaddle was it really was
01:35:14.960

not yet talked to black shirt have i well we'll get back to orange as well right after black t-shirts
01:40:58.480
okay hi scott my name is caleb um i just wanted to chime in quickly because i i knew that i might not
01:41:04.720
get a chance to do so again and i wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything that
01:41:09.520
you've done i uh first started listening to you at the tail end of my college experience and
01:41:14.320
at the time i was a big bernie supporter you would often start your toes by saying that you were uh to
01:41:20.320
the left of bernie but you understood economics better um and so i was always eager to listen to
01:41:26.320
better arguments and smarter people and it was obvious that that was you um and you often have said
01:41:32.480
that trump would change the way that we saw reality and would change uh we saw the world and i think
01:41:38.080
really that's your legacy um teaching us about two movies on one screen um teaching us to enjoy the
01:41:44.880
the golden age and to understand what that could be uh while other people are kind of suffering in
01:41:49.600
their mind and from from their own media sources that are not willing to look beyond um and like
01:41:55.520
everyone else has said through covet i mean you really got us through that time uh your nightly shows
01:42:00.400
turning into the man caves and the micro lessons uh a lot of what you shared uh with the ui for reality
01:42:07.280
you know i had a mother who suffered from cancer for nearly 15 years uh and she believed very
01:42:14.160
strongly in the power of words and the power of affirmations and that the way that we see the
01:42:18.800
world and communicate and the words that we use uh can alter our own reality and our own experiences
01:42:25.040
and i really saw that prolong her life which was so important to me growing up and so when you taught
01:42:30.400
us that a lot of that was reinforcing what i felt like i had learned uh early on in life but i just have
01:42:36.240
to say that every single day um whether it's don't use the top of your car for temporary storage which
01:42:41.600
i'm tempted to do every day and i your voice is in my head not to do that uh from tiny things like
01:42:47.040
that to massive uh massive things you know about global economics and understanding data and um and
01:42:55.680
and the user interface reality all of that has completely changed my life and allowed me to start my
01:43:00.880
career um after college in a strong way and uh especially your how to get a raise which i which
01:43:06.400
i loved and so all of that has changed all of our lives in an enormous way and i'm so grateful for you
01:43:12.160
in ways that i can't even express so um i wish you peace and strength and i love you from the bottom of my
01:43:18.400
heart very well said i appreciate that a lot um if you don't mind to orange jumpsuit
01:43:32.320
yeah i don't know if that's that's me but uh we'll go with that scott it's a
01:43:35.760
incredible opportunity that i thought i'd never have to actually say hi to you um i i'm so old i i
01:43:43.600
started reading dilbert in the newspapers you know many many years ago and followed it through there
01:43:48.240
and then followed you online and and i think a few things and i want to share a couple things with
01:43:52.560
you i think you and trump and elon did more for changing and saving this country than probably any
01:43:58.400
other three individuals that i can possibly name um you're getting canceled and stepping out and
01:44:07.760
starting to speak the truth felt like it began to open the door for the rest of the world to say it's
01:44:12.240
okay to speak truth and uh i appreciate that so much i mean um and i always wanted to say thank
01:44:18.320
you and i've typed that online it's like if i had the opportunity to say thank you one day i'd love to
01:44:21.840
do that and just this this came up this morning i just it could be the best gift i've ever been given
01:44:35.280
yeah yeah um yeah that it's it's uh and i want to share with you a couple of other things real quick
01:44:40.800
like you know there was one time you had gotten your e-bike and you went out on a test ride
01:44:45.440
and and you referenced going to a starbucks and i knew roughly where you live i live on the other side
01:44:50.400
of the country but i knew roughly where you live and i was like man i'll go i'm just going to go out
01:44:53.200
that starbucks one day and see if i happen to bump into him it'll be great but uh i had a dream the
01:44:58.080
other night i've been thinking a lot about you as we all have and uh i had a dream the other night
01:45:03.520
and i had been thinking that day a lot about like if i ever had a chance to meet scott what would i say
01:45:07.040
to him and things like that and in my dream that night which i don't dream a lot you actually had me
01:45:12.080
over to your house and you kind of took me on a tour of your house and we went up to your putting
01:45:16.960
green and you made all three putts uh so i look forward to the day that hopefully i can meet you
01:45:23.120
up again at some point and we'll do some putting practice uh so i thought that that was that was kind
01:45:28.000
of whether you want to call it the simulation or anything else that was the gift that was given to
01:45:33.600
me to say hey if you don't have the chance to meet him uh here's here's your chance to have a little
01:45:38.400
interaction with scott so this is just feels like a bonus day i daily i run to wherever i am to some
01:45:45.840
electronic screen my phone somewhere at 10 o'clock and if it's 9 59 and i'm not logged in yet i'm
01:45:52.000
running to try to get to that sip because that simultaneous sip has become such a high point in my
01:45:56.160
day of just like okay that resets me for the day it's going to be a great day ahead um the sigh that we
01:46:02.640
all collectively do after that that sip uh i think has been good for you and i just i can't thank you
01:46:09.280
enough for everything you've done i i've got a two adult kids i am taking your material to them
01:46:14.880
teaching them about reframes now i've got two grandkids now when they get a little older i'll
01:46:18.560
teach them about your content i mean i think that's been one of the things that be your legacy
01:46:23.440
will be that what you have done for the world in this generation has been amazing and that's going
01:46:28.560
to get multiplied throughout time um beyond the scope that you understand here's my question to you
01:46:37.040
things either grow or shrink as i've said too many times do you think my legacy will grow or shrink
01:46:45.040
i think it has to grow exponentially grow i i don't know the size of your audience i mean i can see
01:46:49.440
how many people logged in and watch your streams every day and things of that nature and buy your
01:46:53.120
books i'm sure and your your messages and your your way of thinking and teaching and you know now that
01:46:59.840
it's been put into you know music and all the other things it is it is it is such a way of of uh having
01:47:09.280
us to focus on life that just i don't find anything like this anywhere else right i have my own you know
01:47:15.760
spiritual beliefs and things that that guide me but you know from a practical human standpoint i i you
01:47:22.480
know you're up at the top and i think that a lot of us feel that value and we're going to want to
01:47:27.360
continue to share that with others so your idea of keeping the community together and having different
01:47:32.880
people maybe teach different topics and things like that it's a fantastic idea because we're the world
01:47:38.320
needs it and the world's hungry for it and we'll need to continue to share that on and on and i know
01:47:43.840
that you'll be able to watch from wherever you'll be and and watch that grow over time as well so i'm
01:47:49.200
comforted in that i am absolutely amazed that this has worked so well this morning
01:47:56.400
it really says something about the group you know as much about me so great people together obviously
01:48:06.320
there's a lot of people who love you and it just speaks to the content of who you are as a person and
01:48:11.440
the amount of giving that you've done in your life to the rest of us and we appreciate it
01:48:15.440
i gotta figure out how to invite specific people uh we'll get that next time so for now i have to say goodbye
01:48:23.600
um hey scott yeah can we just all give you a simultaneous hug right now
01:48:43.760
all right i appreciate that a lot i'll try to be back tomorrow if i'm no worse tomorrow then we'll do this
01:48:52.480
again oh cat yeah be free to bring your cats whatever you like okay everybody
01:49:04.160
goodbye for this morning take care scott thanks guys love you love you bye thank you love you
