Matt Fischer 00:00
Hey, happy Friday. Welcome to Episode 2121 20 of unwanted opinions with a host, Matt. Justin. fact checking Jesse James, executive producer Dave Miller, and our person on the couch. You're not gonna introduce yourself Tommy, he's been here before.
Justin MacDonald 00:27
Glad to have you here. Why would you?
Matt Fischer 00:30
Like it's called putting him on
Justin MacDonald 00:32

Matt Fischer 00:33
It's gonna put him on the spot.
Justin MacDonald 00:34
And then you just look at him.
Matt Fischer 00:36
Yeah. Yeah,
Justin MacDonald 00:38
you're something else. Find those love. That's honestly I hate you for me actually
Matt Fischer 00:45
run JTS voice through a filter. So he sounds normal. I'm sorry. Dave here because it keeps us in check. Want to make this show look good.
Justin MacDonald 00:59
Thanks for joining us. Here we go. I actually hate it when you start.
Matt Fischer 01:04
I know because you because you actually feel like you need to do a whole nother intro. That's fine races.
Jesse James 01:13
You get to that like,
Justin MacDonald 01:17
hey,
Matt Fischer 01:19
well, you're on your phone. Like, typical millennial guy. Always on your phone. Even when you're on a radio show. You're on your dang phone.
Justin MacDonald 01:28
I remember taking video of this guy literally. Eating while he's reading a newspaper and driving and I'm like these kids on their phones. Like there's gonna be a full on newspaper.
Matt Fischer 01:41
Speaking of multitasking, though,
Justin MacDonald 01:44
speaking of driving. Ah, I've been wanting to tell you guys this story all morning. But holding it in. I almost got in a fight at the roundabout this morning. But not for any reason that you would think. Right now this guy has the right away.
Matt Fischer 02:01
You can almost get in a fight anywhere. Yes. I don't know why so aggressive about your face specifically? Yeah. Typically,
Justin MacDonald 02:06
this one. I felt bad. But it just made him even more angry because I was laughing. But he has the right away. So I break to let him go. But as this happens, we both have our windows down. And I'm singing hit him up by Tupac. And I don't know if you know the lyrics. But it was the beginning. Oh, it's right at a very aggressive part. And so I'm screaming a cuss word as I accidentally lock eyes with this guy when he's clearly got the right away. And I realize what's happening because it's like face contorts his dogs in the car. And he just like slams on the brake and just start screaming at me like this guy is ready to go. And I'm laughing because I've realized the mistake that's happening but it's too late to do anything. And so he just standing there just sitting in the middle of the roundabout and people are starting like he stopped
Matt Fischer 02:56
in the roundabout. He stopped right you should be able to plow into the back of those people. You
Jesse James 03:00
should have got out and showed him those boots.
Matt Fischer 03:03
Oh boy.
Justin MacDonald 03:07
I knew it was coming but not you know, I waited Yeah, they're the pros. But you know, I don't know the difference. I know I didn't pay as much as
Matt Fischer 03:18
I will say I had a pair of black timberland pros that actually I actually worked in right and they fight and like they finally just fell apart. Why? Cuz they were like eight years old. Let's get your money's worth. You get your money's worth. I was just trying to say good choice. They're gonna last you forever. I
Jesse James 03:35
honestly thought they were a caterpillar boots.
Matt Fischer 03:38
Don't hate on him. All you can get is the cat Yeah, with cats. And cats.
Justin MacDonald 03:44
Listen, get we can get. That's okay. Yeah. YOLO
Matt Fischer 03:48
you're gonna drive when you work in that excavator? You know, you got to match the ride. Yeah.
Justin MacDonald 03:54
What is what is the rick ross where he's using this
Jesse James 03:57
excavator? Listen, Balenciaga is now the dumbest
Justin MacDonald 04:01
thing in the world case you guys didn't know we were talking about it this morning. Rick Ross is very frugal. In all the ways he wants to, like eat my perfect type of like, have money person like, I'm gonna blow whatever I want. But I'm gonna save money where I can Oh, yeah. And he seems like a million over a million a year by mowing his own property, half
Jesse James 04:21
a million dollar watch. But then million dollars year 2 million.
Matt Fischer 04:25
Or that one video was like they charge him $1,000 A tree to cut it down. And he's shooting the video and like, and I'm like, is he in his house? Or is he in like a capitol building somewhere? He's like on the second floor, and it's like this Grand Atrium and he's literally complaining about
Justin MacDonald 04:41
$1,000 10,000 $10,000 Okay, and so then the next year so he's he gets quoted $10,000 To cut a tree and he shows his face making a big deal. The next is like, going to Northern tool getting the largest change we can get.
Matt Fischer 04:57
I actually didn't think he'd cut it down and then when it cut like it down I was like, oh good for him like super dangerous like, but
Justin MacDonald 05:03
he felt it the right way. The right way. Yeah, it was. It's impressive. So yeah, yeah, I live so in the video he cuts this tree down and then yes, he charges the camera man with the chainsaw. And as I'm watching it I literally like backed away from the phone a little bit.
Matt Fischer 05:22
I don't know why I've seen so many videos of like, tree cutting gone wrong, but as I'm watching that, I'm like, no, no like it like wow, there's like super dangerous but you know, like those trees will like fall over and like snap and then like shoot sideways and like just take everyone out. And so like I'm watching that I'm like, Oh man, this is like I don't know if he knows like the dangers of what could have happened with falling felling that tree. I'm guessing either a
Justin MacDonald 05:46
someone else did it? I don't know. It's hard to tell because he does do his own.
Matt Fischer 05:50
Well, he was standing next to it. So it's not like someone else cut it for him. And because like he stepped if that was the case, he stepped in at the most dangerous part.
Justin MacDonald 05:57
I was smart enough to like Alright, we're gonna figure out how to actually do this. And then you know, you're gonna just play it up once you're on the camera. But I mean, you know, you don't just get a tractor either, right?
Matt Fischer 06:09
Maybe he had like his his like lackeys cut like the other four down off camera and like none of them died. And he's like, Okay, I got this fifth one. Maybe they'll take the camera out. He's the
Jesse James 06:19
biggest boss of them all his own words, right. So
Matt Fischer 06:25
you can self proclaim anything. Anyway, World's Greatest podcast actually are the world's
Justin MacDonald 06:29
greatest podcasts were the number one rising podcast in Ocala auto workspace collective that's company based.
Matt Fischer 06:35
Yeah. World's best. Yeah. And you don't believe that? The onus is on you to prove us otherwise saying go? Yep.
Justin MacDonald 06:43
Opinions are facts. Opinions are facts. We've got to start using that. That line a little bit. tagline. Yeah, that's
Jesse James 06:48
a good tagline.
Matt Fischer 06:49
Yeah, it is. Well, it's true. Nowadays society like literally means figuratively. Up is down left is right. You know, opinions are facts. It's only a matter of time. We're almost basically there.
Justin MacDonald 07:03
I mean, we are there. We're there.
Matt Fischer 07:05
We're there. Welcome to the metaverse. Nothing matters in the metaverse. It's what I mean.
Justin MacDonald 07:11
Well, I mean, except for grubbing because I know that lady got groped. Hey, you're gonna
Jesse James 07:14
share that he's just gonna leave it open. Yeah, dude.
Matt Fischer 07:17
I've written three words. Get a blank. It's bugging you keep looking at my phone because I'm sharing
Jesse James 07:22
it and just leave it there's forward just leave it there. You're fine. Check us out
Justin MacDonald 07:25
on my new band. Yeah, cuts out. No, no, no.
Matt Fischer 07:32
Well, I just shared the most elaborate unwanted opinions video ever, you know, go to my page to see my half written posts that they forced me to share against my will
Justin MacDonald 07:43
you know, you don't have to just keep talking if you don't have it's a it's a it's your your conversation this morning is much like your posts like
Matt Fischer 07:53
it's a talk show out there. It's a talk show. Go on.
Justin MacDonald 07:57
America's pastime. Baseball, America's pastimes, favorite pastime is contract negotiations.
Jesse James 08:05
Yeah, absolutely.
Justin MacDonald 08:06
Like, what is this like the ninth one since the 70s. Where they've had a lockout. So in case you don't know baseball very often, it seems like at least in my lifetime goes into contract negotiations where they you know, delay the season and they've actually you know, cancelled like the first few games
Matt Fischer 08:26
first few series I guess anyone really upset about this?
Justin MacDonald 08:29
I don't think so. I mean, they're they're, you know, major baseball fans are but there's there's so five of them right far between it must be. I think a lot of people are looking at the commissioner. I can't remember. It's like Rob Manfred or something like
Matt Fischer 08:43
that. Manfred. Mann
Justin MacDonald 08:44
Yeah, I think they're looking at him. They're like, Hey, man, we're already struggling pretty bad. You kind of make it worse, even though
Jesse James 08:51
and I don't think baseball fans are necessarily a big fan of his anyways. Right. So that doesn't help the situation.
Justin MacDonald 08:57
Yeah. But is there any commissioner that any you know fans are like you'd like no one's like, really excited about Roger Goodell or? Yeah, that's yeah, there's the NBA Commissioner. Adam Silver. Adam Silver. Still. He'd been there for a while. Yeah. Yeah. I think he's about half and half. Probably.
Jesse James 09:15
He looks like a little Jeff Bezos.
Justin MacDonald 09:18
You can get little actually Jeff Bezos is pretty big right now. Yeah, yeah. Jeff Bezos has been on the the TRT at a minimum maybe a little bit of trend a little bit of Anna var, whatever it is,
Matt Fischer 09:33
how do you know so many?
09:36
Johnny's agreeing with
Justin MacDonald 09:39
you go to the gym. If I were at the age now, where I can see people that I know I'm out working every single day. And I'm like, What is going on? How what am I doing wrong? Like it's
Matt Fischer 09:51
my day. You're not taking steroids. That's what you're doing wrong? Well, yeah.
Justin MacDonald 09:55
Eventually you come to find out like, oh, everyone's doing something like TRT At a minimum, fine, that's very widely accepted. But then you're like, oh, yeah, I'm going through Anna var and trenbolone. Like, is it? Yeah, I think it's animart speller. But it's like, it's, you know, we talk about all the like, you know, what is that expectations for women on body? And it's like, no one really wants to talk about the expectations for men on body. There's a What's the Thorah? Guy? Chris? Hemsworth? Yep. So there's a an app that I see, like a diet plan or whatever workout plan that shows on like, all my social media apps, and it's like, get big, like cribs, Chris Hemsworth. Do his workouts. And it's like, no, like, it's very, like, I guess in the workout world, like everyone knows that. Basically, every celebrity ever that has to get jacked is on something. And so it's like, no, you're, you're, you're making it seem as if, oh, if you just work hard enough, you're gonna look like Chris Hemsworth. Like, no, you've got to add, I think cycling.
Matt Fischer 10:58
I think you're missing something, though about those celebrities. Aside from them being on something. They're rich. They have nutritionists, personal trainers, and all the time in the world to work out
Justin MacDonald 11:10
what's like, I mean, think, listen, your body can't stand working out. Like you can go oh, I have four hours to workout doesn't matter. Your body can't work out for four hours. If you're not doing something
Matt Fischer 11:18
to help give it I'm just saying like a normal person that works and goes home and has a family and like yeah, as normal, everyday obligations.
Justin MacDonald 11:26
That's what you that's, that's what you're led to believe, like, oh, well, they just have a nutritionist and they have all the time in the world. That's exactly what I believe. But what it really is, is they're cycling trenbolone there's you know, they're cycling these you know, actual steroids and this is like,
Matt Fischer 11:41
what's a trombone? And I don't know what that is. It's a music lunch.
Justin MacDonald 11:45
I think this is a brass. Yeah. But it's just one of those things. That's like there's unrealistic expectations for men like again, you're not even you're like, Oh, well, they just I got
Matt Fischer 11:58
a buddy like Chris Hemsworth though.
Justin MacDonald 12:01
Tall and blonde.
Matt Fischer 12:02
No, no, no, no, it's just the one from him when he like got depressed and I'm like movie Yeah.
Jesse James 12:08
I really want to sell those product or that product. They would. I want Thor's body. Yeah, that's what we're saying. Yeah, but Chris Hemsworth doesn't walk around Thor's body all the time right? Oh, no
Matt Fischer 12:19
that and that's in general to Chris Hemsworth hit us up you will literally look like that all the time. Can be watching Yeah, probably. gonna sit on the couch.
Justin MacDonald 12:28
What camera are you even looking at? Oh, you're looking at yourself.
Matt Fischer 12:31
I need to make sure my big heads in the front.
Justin MacDonald 12:33
Like Chris. Nope. Anyway, yeah, I think that there's unrealistic expectations and that's annoying.
Matt Fischer 12:46
Tell us how you really feel I you
Justin MacDonald 12:50
glaze over so you kept saying
Matt Fischer 12:51
these these crazy words like
Jesse James 12:53
TRT? Yeah, steroids. There we go. Stare why can't we call them
Justin MacDonald 12:58
what they are? We can
Matt Fischer 13:00
or we're trying to change that spicy. I that's what I figured. Because like when I do have conversations with people and that is brought up it's just like, Yeah, back in the day is like they're on steroids. They had a negative stigma now it's just like, you call it by like this fancy, crazy chemical medical name. And it's like, somehow acceptable. They're all on Korea team. Well, you know, you just see someone that all of a sudden, like a month later, they just and you're just like, Yeah,
Justin MacDonald 13:23
before I understood all of what was going on a like two years ago, there's a guy that like, shrunk way down on the waist and got way jacked up top. And people escaped like that. Yeah, it happened in like four months. And I was like, Wow, man, you look really good. What are you doing? And he's like, I'm not on steroids. Why is everyone saying them on steroids? Wow. And I was like, well
Matt Fischer 13:49
they like punch the wall.
Justin MacDonald 13:51
I just hadn't seen body in a while and he's like No, I'm just I do a lot of cardio. Like okay,
Matt Fischer 13:58
I do a lot of cardio and it's muscle wasting like burn your muscle and get smaller so yeah, anyway the struggles I've lost all of the muscle I gained when I you know went on maternity leave because I was like it was run and it's just I you know, it's you don't use it you lose it
Justin MacDonald 14:16
you could do
Matt Fischer 14:17
push ups. Yeah, no, no, someone could do no no, no, I can run cardio cardio is fine with me like I've no problem motivating myself to do that. But what like lifting weights like I need to go to a gym away from my house to where I go I'm here I might as well make the most of it because if I'm in my garage and like five push ups is enough, I'm done. And then I just walk inside you know, it's like you know your own self like that's that's how I work I gotta drive myself to the gym to do that as my motivation
Jesse James 14:43
or know what this has to do with but Justin Miller Miller put horse meat
Matt Fischer 14:47
horse meat. Wow. Cool. The French eat it.
Justin MacDonald 14:50
The French do eat it. Yeah,
Matt Fischer 14:52
well, actually a lot of countries around the world
Justin MacDonald 14:54
he Horsea that's one of the ones even though I don't know why we don't eat horse meat. Even though I don't particularly like horses. I still Can't really too weird get down on
Matt Fischer 15:02
my line. Everyone has that line. My line is beyond horses like I need a horse.
Justin MacDonald 15:06
I mean, could I yes what I choose to know my line this dog? I eat cats all day like not even
Matt Fischer 15:16
a dog the cat does I don't think they'd be good night horse I think a horse with tastes probably pretty decent but chances are
Jesse James 15:21
that you've you've eaten the cat
Justin MacDonald 15:24
high up there. There's a lot of things out he like out if if I knew it wasn't like horse. Yeah, that's
Matt Fischer 15:31
I heard horse meat actually really stinks. Like if you're just eating just plain horse me. It's not worked in with anything like I heard. It's very pungent smelling. Yeah,
Justin MacDonald 15:39
Where'd you hear that? That seems like a weird thing, but just here
Matt Fischer 15:45
on my honeymoon where they eat a lot of work. Yeah, and I almost ordered it and they're like,
Justin MacDonald 15:49
why don't you just like ask like, Hey, can I just go for it? Yeah, once I'm a bloody mullet. I don't want to do that ever again.
Matt Fischer 15:59
Outside of a fish dip, like outside was smoked fish.
Justin MacDonald 16:02
I didn't know what it was. That's what it was. He thought it was salsa and it was breakfast. Breakfast
Matt Fischer 16:10
I'm just trying to like fish for breakfast is like that's where you draw the line. I fish for breakfast. What kind of fish to eat for breakfast? What leftover breakfast fish bass
Justin MacDonald 16:19
perch as you like to call it? Yeah, really crappy. I mean spec. Yeah, man. A
Jesse James 16:23
bass egg and cheese biscuit.
Matt Fischer 16:27
Right. You go to McDonald's in like, southern Louisiana. Made that Bassett and cheese.
Jesse James 16:35
Breakfast. Oh, boy. Oh, well. Yeah. Good. Yeah,
Justin MacDonald 16:38
good point. Uh, so Are you guys familiar with, like a neighborhood library?
Matt Fischer 16:44
Yeah, I've seen a couple around town. We've wanted to
Justin MacDonald 16:47
do another house for a while. But now, free. blockbuster.org has like little free movies or not that are free, but like movie scenes that you can buy. And you can register them register with them to become a franchise. And it's a leave a movie. Take a movie?
Matt Fischer 17:05
Yeah, he's there. They're like the, you know, the plastic newspaper newspaper dispensers that you see that aren't as common anymore. I've seen them. They're pretty cool. And they're blue. And they look just like a like a blockbuster sign. Yes, you've seen one. And I haven't seen it in person. But I've been on their website and I saw that like you can buy the little kiosks things and some people I think it'd be made their own
Jesse James 17:26
VHS or just DVD and blu ray.
Matt Fischer 17:29
I'm sure it's probably anything. Yeah. Cool. You'd have to have a VHS player nowhere else to go. I mean, quite frankly, I don't even know if I have a DVD.
Justin MacDonald 17:41
Oh, movies. Were one of the one of the higher markets for DVDs because, you know, our like our fan has a DVD player. So we still buy
Matt Fischer 17:53
humblebrag you know, my
Justin MacDonald 17:59
dad, you're about to find out. Oh, my, my wife when the kids were younger, like was like, oh, no, we're we're not doing the DVD thing. They're not going to have it. They can just ride in the car like we did. And now it's like, going two minutes down the road here kids watch Lilo and Stitch.
Matt Fischer 18:16
I did back in the day though. A TV in the car was like, wow, I remember getting on the twit like the giant tour buses when you go on a school field trip
Jesse James 18:24
and you would I still get impressed by a TV in a car.
Matt Fischer 18:27
They're just commonplace in like almost all minivans now for that exact reason of like children like like, that's really like the one car I can't think of many other cars where it's a factory option other than minivans, no,
Justin MacDonald 18:37
it's in SUVs. Okay, yeah. Yeah.
Matt Fischer 18:41
But it used to be such like like only like a limousine or like a big bus would have the like the CRT monitors as well and they're like little eight inch ones and now it's just so
Justin MacDonald 18:51
conversion vans and just conversions in general used to be huge. We Ocala was like our three mark three headquarter for it where you know they made millions and millions of dollars by converting vans and then finally the automating factors were like why don't we just do that? Why don't we give people the option to have a TV or you know lay down seats and all of that
Matt Fischer 19:15
they never got to the point of a conversion van conversion it would be like getting into someone's like living room from like the 80s though. You got wood paneling and like crushed velvet back here.
Justin MacDonald 19:24
Well, that was big back. Well, I know.
Jesse James 19:27
Fans did you get back?
Matt Fischer 19:28
The ones was free candy. They were spray painted over.
Justin MacDonald 19:38
Anyway, it's crazy how you know you just lose a whole like section of industry because the autumn infections like we're gonna start doing that now. We'll give you those options.
Matt Fischer 19:47
What do you think the next trend is where they're like the
Jesse James 19:50
flying cars.
Matt Fischer 19:52
Man, they've been touting flying cars for so long since 85. Since the Jetsons, at least that's true. Robot maids we don't have none of that we got a Roomba dogs. No, I don't remember the dog's names was
Justin MacDonald 20:06
Chicken Do you? Astro Nice.
Matt Fischer 20:09
Oh, come on an astro van. Yeah have you checked van pricing right now? I have Yeah. credibly expensive. Yeah, vans are definitely like making a comeback or have been in a comeback like they're just outrageously crazy.
Justin MacDonald 20:22
I've never saved more money than these past like few weeks months because I'm like, every time I want to try to buy something, I'm like, Nope, that's just everything. That's just way too. Like being live right now. It's just way too expensive. We're just gonna kind of sit dormant here.
Matt Fischer 20:36
I was thinking like, I can't afford a no short for nation, a short wheelbase Chevy g 10. Van, you know, to paint a really cool like, wizard dragon fantasy scene on the side. I was like, I'll just settle for a 90s Astro van. Those are astronomical as well in terms of pricing. astronomical. See what I did that? Yeah, but it's one of those things you think you like? Well, I'll just skip a generation get like the least desirable 90s version. It's like you and your pickup trucks.
Justin MacDonald 21:01
Yeah, yeah, one of the F 150. Like 95 and below and you know, I was like, Oh, it's 2000 bucks. It's too much. Yeah, you know, now it's like killing yourself now. $10,000 You know, for a decent model every now and then you'll see a pop up for like four or five and it's got tons of rust or something like, it's crazy. But also like, I don't need another vehicle. Like you did. Yeah.
Matt Fischer 21:23
You have to have that conversation yourself at some point because I get like, obsessed and start like scouring all the internet and like I'm gonna find this gem and then I like quickly snap back to reality and be like, how am I gonna pay for another vehicle? Where am I going to put another vehicle? Why do I need it? Like what the hell am I gonna do with it? It's just
Jesse James 21:41
wild to me that you're using Jim and Astro van like as a descriptive term. Jim, Jim. Yeah.
Justin MacDonald 21:48
You don't think you can find the gem of an astro man?
Jesse James 21:51
I'm not sure that Astro man Oh, a dope man centered a gym.
Matt Fischer 21:55
Oh, why base hinted you lower it some put on some nice rams.
Jesse James 22:00
Dude. Yeah, what's up? 20 twos? No, no,
Matt Fischer 22:03

Jesse James 22:08
13 inch Dayton's.
Matt Fischer 22:10
Okay, some 100 spokes. Eight fours poking outs. There we go. Yeah, no,
Justin MacDonald 22:16
you don't reminiscing.
Matt Fischer 22:17
Yeah, it was actually quite nice. Anywho you want to hit up your topic and numbers? Well, let's
Justin MacDonald 22:24
go over Happy Birthday. Okay, yeah, I
Matt Fischer 22:26
see why you're gonna skip that one.
Justin MacDonald 22:27
Happy birthday. Happy birthday. 1924 song came out today or is like, you know, at least patented or copyrighted or whatever. Today's right here. That's crazy. The world's most famous song
Matt Fischer 22:39
isn't gonna get royalties. Why is it a guy?
Justin MacDonald 22:41
Why didn't you immediately submit the guy?
Matt Fischer 22:42
Wow. Cuz it came from 1924 Oh, yeah.
Justin MacDonald 22:46
It's two women that actually own the song. I think.
Jesse James 22:48
Yeah, Patti and Mildred Hill,
Justin MacDonald 22:50
boom, got them.
Matt Fischer 22:52
They're still alive.
Justin MacDonald 22:53
Well, I don't think that they create I think that they just own the rights now.
Matt Fischer 22:57
So who created it?
Justin MacDonald 22:58
I don't know. That's that's not that's not in my notes. I just have
Matt Fischer 23:03
he knows it's birthday but you don't even know created it.
Justin MacDonald 23:07
It just came about I want to
Matt Fischer 23:09
know the backstory. Like what was a birthday or something? Look up the backstory, the story notes appear. Here. Up here. He's reading
Jesse James 23:19
the melody I was reading. And I'm not good at it. Really? Yeah, we can't tell. So the melody and lyrics and Happy Birthday first appeared in print 1912 Oh,
Justin MacDonald 23:29
well, I guess I'm wrong, then. This is when they they they signed the rights to it.
Matt Fischer 23:33
Hey, it's okay. That's your facts are? Are there erroneous? And there lies
Justin MacDonald 23:39
I'll get you I will do the fact checking myself I'll upload my source of where I found out as 1924 1988
Jesse James 23:45
Warner Music purchase the company owning the copyright for 25 million. Wow, you have Happy Birthday, estimated at 5 million.
Matt Fischer 23:56
That's insane. How do you value I don't even get
Jesse James 23:59
this because before you sing it you have to send Warner
Matt Fischer 24:04
I want to sync it right now. But it's like I don't want like YouTube demonetized the whole rest of the video silence now.
Justin MacDonald 24:13
So I got a hashtag up there. And it's definitely not this is you know, we rarely do I think get into x one one of the opinions on air we get into a lot of them off air. But I got hashtag all horse matter up there. And you got to let me like get my thought process out not to sound clip it up. Right but I noticed a few days ago after the Ukraine Russo Ukrainian war started. Was that where we're calling it now? I don't know. But I noticed after that, like it just took a few days where all of the sudden there was a lot of a lot of people posting that I know and and, you know, people that are celebrities and all that that were posting about the races. Just coverage of the war, right that that that even the coverage itself was racist because we're ignoring other wars in the world. And so you have people posting like quotes, don't get me wrong, there's some god awful quotes out there like, this is actual bone here blue white people are talking about now they're not those aren't Americans, right? You know, those are like someone in Poland or something like that. And so you have these people that are like, Hey, this is you know, the fact that we're ignoring the war in Yemen, which the war in Yemen is terrible. And I think that it was ignored for a lot of reasons that has been ignored for a lot of reasons, including the President that started in are like, we just like, we're gonna ignore some of that, right? So I see all these posts of like, hey, don't forget that this is racist, you know, we're only caring because this is, you know, a white looking nation and all of that. And as I'm, like, I like I don't disagree with a lot of what people were saying. But there was something that just made me feel kind of gross. And then finally, to one of my friends that I can actually have a conversation with that was posting this, I was like, Hey, I realized that this kind of bugs me, this is like the equivalent of like, all lives matter. Right? Like, you know, you're saying, Hey, you should care about all these other wars like, Well, okay, you should, too. And why are you just now campaigning to like, bring advocacy against these wars, like the war in Yemen has been going on since like, 2008 or nine? Like, why, why just now, why when this is big news, where they bring it up now. And I think it's really it's like an off ramp for caring, right? You just you get to go. Why care less now because there's other wars. And you know, and I feel like that's what it was with all lives matter crew, too. It's like, right, well, yes, that happens. But this happens to other people, too. So all lives matter. So I can care less. And I just feel like race. You know, I get as a white dude, no one was here my opinion on race. And I understand that when it comes to war, and what's going on in Ukraine, it's when you when you take that opportunity to pull away from that coverage and go, Hey, this is racist to talk about. This is racist to talk about. I think what you're doing is, is you're using you know, a mindset that pulls you away from actually caring about it, and it just, it doesn't feel good to me it doesn't feel great. So to me, when you pull away from that, it's very all wars matters. I'm sorry, man.
Matt Fischer 27:35
I actually thought everyone was caring so much about this war because it was Russia involved like one of the global superpowers with like, probably the most nukes aside from us, I don't know if how many they have I know they have a lot. So it's like, that's where I thought I like made a big deal. You know, it's like I get it civil war in Yemen, you know, all this other stuff. Like, yeah, that stuff does matter. But it's just like with this one, it's just there's a couple countries where it's just like if America went to war with them, or even Europe as the union went to war with them, that's gonna mean it's going to impact the entire rest of the world and Russia and China and the United States and the UN are like those top four
Justin MacDonald 28:11
year ignore so geopolitical importance of this war by just focusing on one thing and going well, there's plenty of them.
Matt Fischer 28:18
Yeah, either. But that's like, to your point, I think people were focusing on like the Oh, it's just because it's in Europe, and that's why people are caring, it's like, I'm caring because I need to know if I need to bug out to the woods.
Justin MacDonald 28:27
They literally just took over a you know, a nuclear energy site. Like that's kind of big deal stuff. Like I get it we should definitely we need to focus on race where where, you know, it's it's relevant, right? I completely agree with that. But there are times like this, like, hey, this isn't race related. You know, and I'm not saying you're wrong and anything that you're saying when you bring those things up, but what I am saying is like maybe now's not the time right let's let's let's talk about and I know some people like what always needs to stay forefront. Yeah,
Matt Fischer 28:58
once the nuclear winter settles down, and we start growing crops again, and the desolate, irradiated fields, we can then revisit this conversation
Jesse James 29:08
5977 nukes Yeah.
Matt Fischer 29:11
Why do you that's always blowing my mind. Why don't we get in this pissing contest with these other people who have nukes? And they're just like, who has more nukes? It's like, why do you need enough nukes to blow up the world? 8 million times? Like that? That to me? Doesn't make sense. I guess to not good enough.
Justin MacDonald 29:27
When did we stop working on actual like, I'm sure wouldn't I'm sure we haven't actually ever stopped working on like, you know, the technology for nukes?
Matt Fischer 29:37
I'm sure they're still working on it. Yeah, like you know, yeah, it's the technology of them now is was a lot better than what it was when we actually use them in war.
Justin MacDonald 29:47
I don't like how quiet it got when I started talking.
Matt Fischer 29:50
To serious it is
Justin MacDonald 29:51
it is serious and I it's it's one of those things where it's just like, hey, if you're someone that I know a love and a friend like I post whatever you want Whatever you want, that's fine. But it does feel a little icky when you pull away from the importance of what's going on to
Jesse James 30:06
and I hate I hate an achy feeling. Yeah. Like,
Matt Fischer 30:09
I did see someone post something, I thought it was great. It was just like, Hey, you don't have to have an opinion on every current event that's going on. Because you can just, you know, not be educated enough to have the opinion on it not care enough to have an opinion on it right? Or just don't want to like voice that like you. And I thought that was really like, that struck me. I was like, that's good. I'm glad someone's saying, I'm glad I saw that. Because it's like, and that was around the time. Like, you know, it this happens with every event too. You know, we all have to go on social media make our posts and it's like, Oh, good. I feel good about myself. Now. You know, I'm caring. How can I make this about me? Right? Yeah, I read the way you do that as you get your own podcast. Yeah, we figured it out a long time ago, people.
Justin MacDonald 30:52
Christy shared a post with me from someone that's like a speaker and that's what she said is like, Hey, you. I came about to this call, but it's like some fat.
Matt Fischer 31:03
Oh, are you talking about the bread? shamer the bread shamer Yeah, yes. Yeah.
Justin MacDonald 31:08
Did you pay me for bread? Yeah, she did. Yeah. Good.
Matt Fischer 31:11
I didn't forget it.
Justin MacDonald 31:13
But how did they do the oil in the pizza again? What? crust? The crust? I'm
Matt Fischer 31:20
not doing that. Last time. I did that. She made a gift from me.
Justin MacDonald 31:22
But it was a it was yeah, it was someone that said something. Well, it's like it's like the opinion fallacy or something like that. Where it's like, Hey, you say that went on there? Yes, unfortunately. But you know, you don't actually have to like state your opinion. You don't even like learn read but you don't have to like state it all of the time. Obviously. This is a show called unwanted I
Matt Fischer 31:42
was gonna say and if you do just never mind. Yeah.
Justin MacDonald 31:46
Give yourself an hour. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, it's weird. I brought it up there but didn't think we touch it. But there it is. Yeah,
Matt Fischer 31:55
I fortune that one. That's my bad. That's my bad. Cool.
Justin MacDonald 32:01
Super, do we want to go to something lighter now? Yeah, if we could fast forward, that would be great. This is the problem with a live bot. Amazon Lund. Amazon Luna. Yeah. Does look like that. The Luna, have you guys? What is this cloud gaming? We're gonna go from war to cloud,
Matt Fischer 32:17
hitting all the hot topics. In other news, cloud gaming.
Justin MacDonald 32:24
It's the you know, it's cloud gaming. It's like, you don't have to have a console. You just have the controller and you Oh,
Matt Fischer 32:30
yeah, Google tried to do that with the stadia stadia.
Justin MacDonald 32:33
Yeah, and they failed. But But Microsoft does it with the Xbox Xbox gamepad.
Matt Fischer 32:39
They gotta do something when you make such a crap console. team play stay Shang.
Justin MacDonald 32:43
How long did you can get your PlayStation forever, because it's so popular.
Matt Fischer 32:48
That's what's up. See, I knew I knew there's reason I like to use PlayStation man. He couldn't figure it out until just now just just now just now that he's handsome. So I got a stadia for free. And like the Google Chromecast that would like stream the games. And a testament to how successful it was was, it never got out of the box. And then I sold it to someone who just wanted to Google Chrome. And I'm like, just take the game controller with it. Because at that point, they had stopped like making it and yeah, but yeah, it sat on my console for probably a year. So
Justin MacDonald 33:21
Playstation has some form of this too, because when I got my TV a few like years ago, like, Hey, if you buy a PlayStation controller, you can play games. But the problem then was I got the controller and I went to play the game. And I would like move the controller. And then like, lag a second and a half later the person like, Okay, I'm not doing this at all.
Matt Fischer 33:43
Like, that's how you get a broken TV. For when you throw the controllers, right?
Justin MacDonald 33:47
So I tried getting rid of the controller to like trade for an Xbox and everyone's like, just just get rid of the controller. It's fine.
Matt Fischer 33:53
So do you have an Xbox that you stream through? Yeah,
Justin MacDonald 33:56
I mean, I don't play it.
Matt Fischer 33:57
Oh, but are you a gamer? Now? You have the headset? Yeah,
Justin MacDonald 34:02
I do have the headset. Yeah, nerd. My wife has never in our entire relationship. I've never really never really played video games. So when I did get the Oculus. I like the first night I played for like 20 minutes. Like take the headset off. And she's like, so is this like brand new technology. Like this is like what I dreamed up as a kid like, Yeah, I'm just gonna play for a little bit. Yeah, but you just very not used to it. Yeah, I'd say you never use anymore. Every few months will remember that we have
Matt Fischer 34:37
Agbar Oh, no, I'm just kidding. I don't have any time.
Justin MacDonald 34:41
My controllers are broken now because like, you know, my kid got scared fighting the zombie. Like through it.
Matt Fischer 34:49
Yeah. Oh, geez.
Jesse James 34:51
I got a garage. When you said Amazon. Luna. I thought you're talking about Pete. Pete Davidson, Myspace. What
Matt Fischer 34:57
they said, Is he really going to space try He's trying to get away from it. So what I do find it interesting is people are like with the Kanye thing they're like, if any other man that wasn't Kanye was saying what Kanye was saying. They're like he would be a real creeper. You know, in terms of like all of what he's doing, but somehow it's just like fanfare
Justin MacDonald 35:20
now. I think it's I think the tide is turning. Right. I think I think people are starting I think at first it was like, Okay, it's kind of funny. These guys making great news for all the entertainment people, you know what I'm saying? And he just he called him ski that says, holy,
Matt Fischer 35:31
I can't skate now to that, right. Like, I don't know. Any of them. But he is skating. Yeah.
Justin MacDonald 35:36
But now it's gotten to the point where it's like for anyone that's ever been in like a super abusive, or even moderately abusive relationship. You're like, Oh, I know this. I've seen this is gross. And then with the new video, have you seen the video? I haven't. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he does. What like decapitates and buries the cartoon skeet Davidson. Are you kidding me? No, I'm not kidding. It's.
Matt Fischer 36:01
He's really like off his rocker.
Justin MacDonald 36:05
This Yeah,
Jesse James 36:05
he's been off his rocker.
Matt Fischer 36:07
Yeah. Okay. True. True. Like, is he mad? That is like little Google Home that plays this album is like, not doing too well. Or delayed? Is it delayed?
Jesse James 36:17
I don't know. Someone in town got word really? Yeah. And they they're like, do you want to come by and check it out? It's like, looks complicated. Yeah.
Matt Fischer 36:25
I don't know. It comes in a Big Mac box. And it's like flesh toned. It's just so dumb looking. I don't know. I hope it's.
Justin MacDonald 36:34
Yeah,
Matt Fischer 36:35
you're right, Donnie, you're right.
Justin MacDonald 36:39
I've gone through waves of like, season, fandom. And like, just like, I can't stand him at all with Kanye throughout the years. Like, when Jesus walks came out. I was like, This is the greatest thing ever. Like, the song is amazing. Like, this guy is gonna do great stuff. And then after a while, I was like, okay, he's gross. I don't like him. Then he went kind of crazy. And I'm like, I kind of like him crazy. Then now he's a little too crazy. Yeah. Okay.
Matt Fischer 37:04
You got to find a perfect mix of crazy.
Justin MacDonald 37:06
Yeah, yeah. I
Jesse James 37:07
think you got to watch that documentary to bring it all back home.
Matt Fischer 37:09
I don't know. I'm going to I haven't I don't know if
Justin MacDonald 37:12
I'm going to the the first two. You know, episodes I watched. It was like, Man, I really, I wouldn't say that. I became a fan but I used to kind of start to understand the psyche. Yeah, you're like, Okay, this he's, he's definitely been off his rocker for ever, basically. And you realize how much love he has for his mom and why she's so incredibly sweet and encouraging and Donda. Awesome.
Matt Fischer 37:38
They Donda? Yeah. I don't know why you said it like that. That's her name.
Jesse James 37:43
It's just Dawn just
Justin MacDonald 37:48
Yeah, an extra syllables in there. Anyway. Ah,
Matt Fischer 37:52
that's news to me. That's news to me.
Justin MacDonald 37:56
News to me. Ah, so anyway, like you start to understand a little bit, but I wouldn't say it drew me into why I was a fan originally. But with everything that he's got going on outside, it's just like, I don't even like I haven't even watched the third episode. And I was like, religious about it at first. I'm like, Okay, I don't know. He can't have he can't be. He needs to be shown love. You know, like, Hey, man, we love you. But it needs to be tough love. It can't be we love you and everything you do. It's we love you. This isn't okay. Yeah, I am right now. Yeah. Because you're most likely watching or listening. Kanye actually. He strikes me as the type of person that might want Yes,
38:36
we're there together.
Justin MacDonald 38:37
Yeah,
Matt Fischer 38:39
they're working out. It's playing on the treadmill.
Justin MacDonald 38:41
Truly, you can still love someone and not agree with what they're doing. And I think that he needs those people around him right now going Hey, man, we love you. This isn't okay,
Matt Fischer 38:49
but he's one of those people that just gonna look and be like, you just don't understand my genius. Like I liked him earlier because he made good music like right now I'm like, you're done. The album was like I didn't enjoy it personally. Yeah.
Justin MacDonald 39:01
Yeah, I wouldn't say that. I didn't enjoy it. I enjoyed it more the second time through for sure.
Matt Fischer 39:06
I listened to it twice. And I could I don't know
Justin MacDonald 39:09
it's no college dropout. And I think that you know, one of the things that I've heard other like podcasters and stuff like that say is that you know, it's hard to once you've made it in a successfully Yeah, like it's probably hard to keep that stuff up. You know, I would imagine
Matt Fischer 39:26
you have a certain amount in my opinion, a certain amount of like drive and determination when you're coming out direct and you're trying to set yourself apart you're trying to rise above other people and yeah, once you become a like, in his case, a billionaire and have clothing line and super successful shoe and partnership with Adidas and all that stuff. I'm not saying that he's not motivated but like you're saying you pair him with a bunch of people that might be around him being Yes, men, not giving them tough love. So they're just feeding more into it and
Jesse James 39:55
they're making as much money off of him as bingo. Yeah, and of course they're gonna be like, oh
Matt Fischer 39:59
yeah. so that he I think that's why someone will put out something that might not have that same effect. I think he's trying to be like avant garde trying to, like reinvent some stuff, you know, and I'll give him credit for his big mac, audio player, you know, but like, the only you know, the only way to get your album is to buy that thing. And then it's just, it's just a weird concept. But part of me is just like, You know what, he has enough money and clout to like buck the system and try and sell his record a different way. So part of me is like, kudos to that
Jesse James 40:30
one. He's not the first one to kind of go this route either. Like Jay Z released an
