00:00:00.040 All right, today we're going to go back to TikTok, my favorite place in the world.
00:00:03.880 War. War never changes.
00:00:07.480 And, you know, one of the things that they love to do on TikTok is to complain about work, as if any of them have jobs.
00:00:14.060 But if they do have jobs, then they go to those jobs begrudgingly, and they like to complain about it.
00:00:19.980 I don't like my job, and I don't think I'm going to go anymore.
00:00:24.000 We've talked about this on the show. It's become a whole movement.
00:00:26.220 It takes on different names. Quiet quitting is one of them.
00:00:29.520 But all these different names they use, really just another, these are all terms that really stand for laziness.
00:00:35.240 That they are lazy, and they're trying to repackage and rebrand their laziness to make it, I don't know, virtuous or trendy.
00:00:42.820 So we're going to check out some TikToks from some lazy people, basically. Lazy TikToks.
00:00:47.600 Let's start with clip three. 0.82
00:00:49.100 Do you ever just sit down and think, wow, humans really have to pay money to stay alive.
00:00:55.120 We have to pay for food. We have to pay for water. We have to pay for shelter.
00:01:00.400 How does that make sense?
00:01:01.800 The universe put us on Earth, a planet that has everything humans need to survive, and yet we've evolved to the point where we have to pay money to stay alive.
00:01:10.480 I don't, I don't understand that.
00:01:12.600 I'm sure you don't understand it.
00:01:14.060 Guys, I just had this thought. Things cost money.
00:01:17.520 Did you know that?
00:01:18.540 No way.
00:01:19.700 Way.
00:01:20.020 Wow, dude. Mind-blowing. You're blowing my mind right now. I can't even, I'm disoriented.
00:01:27.640 All those things cost money that you mentioned, right, right now. Food, shelter, clothing. And it doesn't have to be that way.
00:01:35.240 There was a time in human history when that was not the case. When actually you wouldn't have paid money, per se.
00:01:41.460 There was a time in human history when money didn't exist, if you can believe it.
00:01:45.920 You go all the way back to, like, hunter-gatherer cultures.
00:01:48.780 I'm dying.
00:01:50.020 Help me.
00:01:50.540 And there's no money. But do you know what the other option is, then? It's that you have to go out and do all that stuff yourself, okay?
00:01:57.440 So either you can pay someone to give you food, or you can go out and get the food yourself and grow the food, go into the forest and try to hunt for it.
00:02:10.060 And, you know, the other thing on that system is if it doesn't work and you're not able to grow the food, there's a drought, or you go into the forest and you're not able to catch, to bag any game.
00:02:21.480 And then, you know what happens? You die. And your family dies. And everybody dies. Those are the only two options.
00:02:28.820 Only two options. There is no third option. So no matter what work is involved, it's just how you can work to make money to then go buy the stuff you need, or you can cut all that out and you can just work yourself to get the stuff.
00:02:43.580 But that is not going to be the utopian scenario that you apparently imagine in your head.
00:02:51.300 But, of course, this guy on TikTok, he doesn't want either of those options.
00:02:55.240 Like, this is not, he's not making a pitch for going back to agrarian societies or going all the way back to hunter-gatherer cultures.
00:03:04.180 He's not making a pitch for that. He would hate that.
00:03:05.680 No, what he wants is to do nothing at all and have all that stuff given to him.
00:03:12.720 But what he doesn't mention, or maybe he doesn't quite understand himself, and he does understand he doesn't care, is that, well, that would still mean, like, no matter what, work is required to obtain all that stuff.
00:03:25.260 Food, shelter, all the necessities of life, clothing.
00:03:28.480 Someone has to do the work.
00:03:30.560 Because it doesn't just, the universe does not just provide it.
00:03:35.720 Okay, it doesn't make a pizza fall out of the sky right onto your lap.
00:03:40.640 Someone needs to make that happen.
00:03:43.380 The work's going to be done.
00:03:44.860 No, what you want is for someone else to do all the work and for you to pay nothing and to be given it.
00:03:50.320 So what you want is slave.
00:03:51.200 You want slave labor. 1.00
00:03:52.140 That's what you're asking for.
00:03:53.140 You want slaves. 0.99
00:03:54.160 You know what company's looking out for you when they actually upgrade your service and they don't charge you for it?
00:03:58.840 Pure Talk just added data to every new and existing plan.
00:04:01.860 They're also including a mobile hotspot with each new plan as well with no price increase whatsoever.
00:04:06.880 If you've considered Pure Talk before but you haven't made the switch, you need to take a look again.
00:04:11.400 For just $20 a month, you'll get unlimited talk, text, and now 50% more 5G data plus a mobile hotspot.
00:04:18.220 I love Pure Talk.
00:04:18.860 Pure Talk, not only do they offer great services, but they also happen to be veteran-owned and they only hire the best United States-based customer service team available.
00:04:26.880 Remember, you vote with how you spend your money, so stop supporting woke wireless companies that don't support you.
00:04:32.460 When you go to puretalk.com slash Walsh, you'll save an additional 50% off your first month because they actually value you.
00:04:38.840 That's puretalk.com slash Walsh.
00:04:40.700 Pure Talk, wireless for Americans by Americans. 0.99
00:04:43.940 F*** that job. 1.00
00:04:45.440 Yeah, I don't know who needs to hear this today, but f*** that job. 1.00
00:04:48.860 Okay? 0.99
00:04:49.440 I myself am like a professional job quitter because I'll dip.
00:04:54.300 I'll dip.
00:04:54.960 Um, so this company that I work for that will go unnamed, uh, we had some beef because they scheduled a meeting.
00:05:05.980 My availability, by the way, is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
00:05:08.940 I have kids.
00:05:09.580 I'm a single mother.
00:05:10.340 Okay?
00:05:11.460 Um, I have to get them to school.
00:05:12.860 That's when I can be at work.
00:05:13.860 Anyway, they schedule a meeting.
00:05:15.240 They don't offer a Zoom option.
00:05:17.020 The meeting's an hour away, which will cost me $20 in gas.
00:05:20.180 I will be able to make, after taking my school, my kids to school, I will be able to make about 30 minutes of that meeting, meaning I will get paid $8.
00:05:29.220 They're also not paying me travel time.
00:05:31.100 So I'm spending $20 in gas to go to a meeting to make $8.
00:05:35.640 I'm missing all of that billable time with my clients to go back.
00:05:40.800 I let them know this is a problem for me, right?
00:05:43.360 I'm not going to pay to go to a meeting. 0.99
00:05:45.460 All right, shut up. 0.99
00:05:46.240 This is so boring. 1.00
00:05:47.720 God, gosh.
00:05:48.520 Imagine living with that every day, those kinds of complaints.
00:05:52.400 Who cares?
00:05:53.020 That's the first thing.
00:05:53.860 It's just boring.
00:05:55.080 Just telling your boring story about some inconvenience that's like, who cares?
00:05:59.940 I had to go and there's a meeting and this.
00:06:01.840 What do you want?
00:06:03.020 What do you want?
00:06:04.860 Do you want life to be perfect?
00:06:06.800 Do you want everything to happen perfectly how you want?
00:06:10.040 I only work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
00:06:11.680 That's all I do.
00:06:13.740 This is the time that I've decided, and I want to make all the money, and I want everything to work perfectly.
00:06:19.120 And if it doesn't, I'm going to complain.
00:06:21.020 On my TikTok video, in my car, I'm eating a sandwich for some reason.
00:06:23.980 I'm a single mother anyway.
00:06:25.180 You know, you have to think, well, why are you a single mother?
00:06:27.400 That's another question that's never asked.
00:06:28.940 I mean, look, there are some single mothers that are single mothers because, and they're victims because the dad ran out on them through no fault of their own.
00:06:36.080 Peace out.
00:06:36.820 There are cases like that, for sure.
00:06:38.800 But I don't think that's the majority of cases.
00:06:41.040 I don't think it's the majority.
00:06:42.560 A lot of these single mothers, they're single mothers because they chose to be. 1.00
00:06:45.580 That's what you wanted.
00:06:46.800 You chose this.
00:06:47.640 I'm a single mother with nobody that loves me on my chart.
00:06:50.560 You chose it either because, you know, you decided to be sexually active when you're not married, you ended up with kids, or you decided that you wanted to kick your husband out because you weren't feeling emotionally fulfilled or whatever.
00:07:00.760 Like, that's also a lot of times what leads to the single motherhood.
00:07:03.660 But then we hear that, it's like, okay, I've created this problem for myself, and now it's all your problem.
00:07:09.560 And then you go to your job.
00:07:11.200 Look, I've created this impossible situation in my life, and you have to figure it out.
00:07:15.020 I got news for you.
00:07:15.820 That's not your job.
00:07:16.560 That is not your job's job to figure out how to navigate the obstacles that you have created in your life.
00:07:24.880 You need to figure that out.
00:07:26.480 Why do you continually end up in jobs that you want to quit?
00:07:29.820 Why is that?
00:07:30.240 Well, because you keep quitting, and no one's going to hire you. 1.00
00:07:33.860 You're not going to get a better job because your employers, you know, this is not a secret, especially when you put it on TikTok, you moron. 0.99
00:07:40.760 So your employers can see, oh, look, she quits all of her jobs after six and a half weeks and brags about it. 1.00
00:07:48.020 They're only going to hire you for the kinds of roles where that kind of turnover rate is acceptable to them.
00:07:54.860 You know, you're just kind of like, you're a number that they plug in, and then you leave and they plug in somebody else.
00:08:01.540 You're only going to get the kind of jobs that anyone could do.
00:08:04.500 And so your employer knows, okay, you're going to do this for six weeks, and you're going to be gone.
00:08:07.820 Fine, we'll find somebody else.
00:08:09.360 But you don't make a lot of money in those jobs because anyone can do them.
00:08:12.580 And so you have almost no value monetarily in the context of that job.
00:08:20.200 But that's your fault because you keep quitting.
00:08:21.580 Today I don't feel like doing anything.
