Little weird hiccups that happen but that's what comes along with being a live show. i Good guy. You guys can't hear it. But Matt there is. Yeah, we're waiting for you. I didn't say anything.
Matt Fischer 01:10
That's fine. Yeah. Just wipe the pee on my hands off on you. Because hey, I don't think I wash his hands. Just kidding. I always wash my hands. Did you pee on your hands? No, of course not. Why wash them?
Justin MacDonald 01:21
Exactly. Anyway, broadcasting live we hope from workspace collective. Is it working? Yes. Hell yes. More like working space collective because the audio is working. We're good. We're here. Good. Well, thank you for my fidget. No, that makes me feel worse than when you just go. Good one. are gonna have to explain it.
Jesse James 01:46
I like explaining a good joke. Yeah,
Justin MacDonald 01:48
I can see that with there's some comedy that goes to explaining a joke, but it's it the joke
Matt Fischer 01:53
is so bad. It's funny and then you explain it which makes it funnier though, but like you can't plan that. Like he just that just happens though. So and you're good at those jokes, Jesse. Thanks, man.
Justin MacDonald 02:04
All right. Rest in heaven. To the King. Elvis. Amen. Did Stephen Wilhite.
Matt Fischer 02:14
Yeah, Fact Check please.
Justin MacDonald 02:16
You probably see some of his work every single day.
Matt Fischer 02:21
Yeah, people mispronounce that stuff, too.
Justin MacDonald 02:23
They don't mispronounce it. You know, Jeff, that's our baby. Now it's GIF. It's not so the inventor creator of the Graphics Interchange Format. Not that traffic's interchange format. GIF is peanut butter. Steven Wilhite passed away sometime this weekend. Last week, rest in heaven? Over 700 million people use giffy. That's a lot of people. Does that the one with like, that's like the the website? It's literally all it does is it's like a hub for what is a crappy one?
Matt Fischer 02:54
What? Which one is the crappy one? I don't know. One of them doesn't work as well as the other one. I think I use giffy. Yeah, I
Justin MacDonald 03:00
don't. Why would I know the crappy one?
Matt Fischer 03:02
I don't know. Because sometimes it pulls up and you just like it's not the site I want to go to for my gifts.
Justin MacDonald 03:06
No, I have the little like, plugin. I don't know if it's giffy or not. But
Matt Fischer 03:10
keyboard. Yeah, the keyboard. Edie they're gonna have a GIF at his funeral.
Justin MacDonald 03:13
I would hope so. They're gonna have
Jesse James 03:15
a GIF at his funeral.
Justin MacDonald 03:16
It's here's the thing. I'm sorry. I know he came in case you guys weren't aware. The creator of the GIF, came down and said it's GIF. Right. But that's our baby now. Yeah, we can just ignore
Matt Fischer 03:28
that though. And he didn't
Jesse James 03:30
say he put a big slide. Yes. Yeah. award acceptance speech,
Justin MacDonald 03:35
though. He also said the words though today. Yeah. Yeah. But he's wrong.
Matt Fischer 03:39
Yeah, I think you know, enough. People can like overturn that though. It reminds him What did he do? Just create it like now? Everyone thinks it's GIF. It's GIF. You lost
Justin MacDonald 03:47
it? It's GIF. That's our baby now. Reminds me of a meme. That's like, what if God just came down from the heavens? Just said it's pronounced jod
Matt Fischer 04:01
I think it'd be on brand. Yeah. honest with you.
Justin MacDonald 04:05
That makes sense for everything going on.
Jesse James 04:06
Yeah, Christie said that jiffy. is a website that hosts all J T's wonderful chips.
Justin MacDonald 04:11
Oh, no. He metaphor is, is I don't I don't know how they come about. I just know that some of them are there. They're a jiffy as in giffy.
Matt Fischer 04:23
Yeah, I go Yeah, I just I see the G and I go hard G
Justin MacDonald 04:26
Yeah, like Graphics Interchange.
Matt Fischer 04:28
I'm not even smart enough to think about what it actually stands for. It's just g you know, if they wanted to be Jiffy they'd make it a J
Justin MacDonald 04:34
It reminds me of a hard G
Matt Fischer 04:38
that's what's up a giraffe appreciate. Yeah, I thought you saw my gangster. Oh.
Justin MacDonald 04:45
I just defended your honor. Because you know what he's talking about. Then you attacked me? Yeah. Uh, it reminds me of when Johnny Cash came out with hurt.
Matt Fischer 04:59
Yeah, that was great.
Justin MacDonald 05:00
which is a Nine Inch Nails song. And I remember I worked with this guy and we're talking about it was like right after that movie came out with Joaquin Phoenix or go King Phoenix however, go kings.
Matt Fischer 05:13
That sounds like a Dragonball Z character.
Justin MacDonald 05:16
The J that appear Louis can make it whatever, you know, things we want anyway. I thought it was joking. Yeah joking Phoenix that's why he's the Joker. The Joker over someone hurt you. Cuz everyone got so upset but I'm like it's not that good of a movie. It's okay.
Matt Fischer 05:38
i You texted me recently said you saw Batman and you're just like, Yeah, and I'm like, Okay, I'm really gonna go see it now. Like that was like the what pushed me over there. I still haven't seen it. But I'm like, Oh, you're saying that it's just okay. I'm probably gonna really like it. It's okay. Like
Justin MacDonald 05:52
it's good. It could it could stand to be like an hour shorter. Yeah, it's
Jesse James 05:57
like, yeah,
Matt Fischer 05:58
the last couple of movies I've watched were exactly like that. I'm like, why did we even need a third part? I'm gonna end this at two hours an hour and 45 minutes I fell asleep
Justin MacDonald 06:07
two to three ish times. And that's not to say that anything about the movie because I just don't sit down and stay still for that long. Yeah. Without intermission right. But hey, go
Matt Fischer 06:21
give Dave his energy.
Justin MacDonald 06:23
Just reach over and say cuz then I start wondering what happens caffeine? Yes. The audio down? No, but I fell asleep. I don't know how long shot but yeah, I don't know. It was good. It's I'm, I'm you might be shocked to hear me say this. But the Dark Knight to me is probably the best Batman out
Matt Fischer 06:41
there. Good. I thought you're gonna say you're shocked to hear this, but I have poor taste. And I was gonna say we all know you
Justin MacDonald 06:45
know that. Yeah. So I have America's taste American when they're not lying. When they're not lying to themselves. It seems
Jesse James 06:53
like that needs to be rephrased. Why? Just sounded weird.
Justin MacDonald 06:57
No, no, no. I'm just saying when people taste Ted tried. That's okay. Right. You want to know what what America's thinking just asked me. But when I'm, I'm America when we're not lying to us to ourselves. When what? What do we know by liking a comic book movie? Oh, I think I'm I'm elevated status because I like this movie. That sad. No, I like entertainment.
Matt Fischer 07:30
And that's why they made comic book movies to entertain people.
Justin MacDonald 07:32
Yeah, but then they made them sad. Stupid. Even though a lot of comic books are actually kind of sad.
Matt Fischer 07:38
I mean, you can beat up like Marvel and like, I think that's you know, that people love their movies. But to me, it's just like, they're, they're good. But they're also like, you know, somewhat hollow in a sense of like, exactly. It's always always the same thing though. Like,
Justin MacDonald 07:51
I like that. I like the comfort of like, cool. I don't have to like be stressed that they win at the end. It's just very impressionable. Like, music we're talking about, you know, Nipsey Hussle comes on. And I kid I'm like, Oh, I love this song. But then I get jacked and I get angry. Yeah. I bought when people get angry. I get angry. So they're like, D for L Laffy Taffy get loose get low before I get too jacked up anyway. Don't need an okay baby.
Matt Fischer 08:27
So basically on the Justin scale of movie ratings, if it's okay then definitely probably should go see it.
Justin MacDonald 08:31
What was your thoughts on Logan? Oh, love Logan. Okay. Yeah,
Matt Fischer 08:35
having seen it. Really? Yeah. Was one of the
Jesse James 08:38
three comic book movies I've seen.
Justin MacDonald 08:40
Yeah. I mean, it's Logan's more like the graphic novel take on. I mean, it's
Matt Fischer 08:45
a nerd. It's more like its source material.
Justin MacDonald 08:48
Like, wow. I can go on. I'm actually appreciated that you actually
Matt Fischer 09:02
flip the switch quick.
Jesse James 09:04
Kyle. Kyle said JT is extra sassy this morning. Matt? Yeah,
Justin MacDonald 09:09
right. Yeah, no, he hasn't heard. 30 minutes. All right, go to your favorite movies. Oh, you don't overdose on heroin. Life leaves
Matt Fischer 09:25
that's an awful movie. That a Requiem for a Dream doesn't movies. You only watch once like those are truly movies you just watch once you know like I'm good. I've seen it. I'm not watching it again. That's you know a movie I did like what momento but I've watched it once. I'm not watching the game.
Justin MacDonald 09:39
Probably. That was a rough one. But I liked it. Yeah. It's just
Matt Fischer 09:43
it's one of those things. It's like you're good. You get the gist of it. You're good. Good audio we need a jiffy that with audio. Or what does that just caught a clip? Yeah, that's just a clip. Okay, got it.
Justin MacDonald 10:01
Yeah, it's close though. Anyway, didn't What are we talking about? Love is blind on this one.
Matt Fischer 10:07
Now we do talk about love on a spectrum on a different show. And then you brought a new love is blind on this right?
Justin MacDonald 10:12
But was the audio up on? Is it the same show? No. Okay, love is blind, just like they put people in pods where they can't see each other. And they tried to get them to fall in love.
Matt Fischer 10:23
This is another TLC show in it. It's been basically it's a Netflix show, but yes. Oh, it's a Netflix show.
Justin MacDonald 10:29
Yeah, but But it's like, oh, you you're falling in love with the person, not the looks.
Matt Fischer 10:33
It's so dumb.
Justin MacDonald 10:36
I'm sorry. That's done. So here's the thing. If anyone out there that's listening is watch this. I'm gonna give you that. Spoiler alert. Okay, if you are watching it, you haven't finished it yet. There's a guy that to me. I'm like, this is the only reasonable person in the show. Right? He says some god awful things. But like, mostly he's just being honest. Well, by the end of the show, I was like, Yeah, this guy makes all the sense of the world. And he's the absolute villain of the show. Everyone hates him. And I'm like, oh, what does that say about me your villain. Because one of the one of the points like they do a reunion and one of the points he goes, Well, everyone's thinking it. I'm just saying it. And in my mind, I was like, yeah, and then everyone else is like, No, we weren't thinking that at all. I was like, Oh, God.
Matt Fischer 11:24
I'm gonna say this, like, I've never seen the show, but it's just like, I get the concept. But I mean, like, if you fall in love with the person, then like, a sea monster comes out. Like, that's not gonna work. Yeah, you know, like, the look, look, looks aren't everything. But like something, but they aren't something. Yeah. And I think people can be, you know, like, we got to be real with ourselves. Like I get, you need to be in love with the person who they are in the inside, but also like, yeah, you got to be attracted to him as well. So you don't need like the superficial, you know, like Instagram fakeness. You know, but like you do have to, did you get the net? Keep going. This is why you do have to like have some sort of attraction. So just like, I don't know what the guy is a villain for but you know,
Justin MacDonald 12:01
this is why identify with the villain because I have a chamber that agrees with me. Oh, is it because of what I just said? Yeah. Well, because he's like, like, his whole thing is like,
Matt Fischer 12:12
what give terrible friends?
Justin MacDonald 12:14
I yeah, thank you. So it's not just me. It's all of y'all. But there has to be some attraction is gonna be part of it. But that's like, one of the things he says is he claims like two of the people that, like went further on the show. He's like, you just did it for cloud chasing like, you didn't hear Yeah, you're on a show, though. On the show, and that and and they're like, Oh, how could you say that? And I'm like, yeah, no, I definitely
Matt Fischer 12:39
was fake outrage. Yeah, I think we got really good at that in 2020.
Justin MacDonald 12:43
In the reunion, they get real outrage. Oh, really? And the one guy that like I kind of liked during the show, he's like, You know what? You know what? I unfollowed you not like him at all? Do you really think that's an argument point like I unfollowed. You?
Jesse James 12:56
Yeah, do what we all do in snoozing?
Matt Fischer 12:58
Yeah. Susan for 30 days when they pop back up in your feed. You're like who the hell is this person? Snooze them again? Snooze. Yeah, because then you get like the good feeling every time you snooze me like, I'm glad to get that out of my feed. We got to protect that peace. Of course, I got that from you. You were like, I didn't know you could snooze people. I just I had the crappiest news feed nor I'm like, I don't even know half these people, nor do I care about any of the stuff that they're doing. And then you're just like, barely How do you not curate your feed?
Jesse James 13:26
Right? You're so good at social media. I'm
Justin MacDonald 13:28
getting better. You used to be my barometer for when I say friend or not.
Matt Fischer 13:33
Oh, y'all I see the friends with other people. And so I'm like, Well, you know,
Jesse James 13:39
there's a few of us in the group that you should not take that advice.
Justin MacDonald 13:43
Yeah, there's a few people that if they're like the first mutual friend that I see, I'm like, Okay, this is
Matt Fischer 13:49
what I do like doing though, is when you get the friend request from the clearly fake, like Russian bots scam profile, you know, the woman in the scantily clad outfit, and then you click on the profile and then it says mutual friends and it's like six thirsty dudes, you know? And I can't really know why I just want to follow and see where they go with it. Yeah, no, it's funny, because you're just like, it's so blatantly fake.
Jesse James 14:17
If you go further, you can look at all their comments on their phone. Oh, I
Justin MacDonald 14:20
know. And it's like, beautiful baby. You know, like, it's the most awkward cringy I will I will
Matt Fischer 14:26
admit, though, that is some like primetime like Facebook, you know? You know, not activity but like enjoyment. There's like seeing people post friends. Yeah, post their cringy comments on like, keep your head up babe winky face like nobody like how are you? Are you not self aware that you've been such a frickin creeper right now speaking
Justin MacDonald 14:44
of which. This is terrible. Okay, right. Oh, yeah, I would typically condone this behavior. But there's someone that I don't know at all that someone else shared with me. And they're like, Yo, you got to watch this person. They're a train wreck. And they like a lot of it's public. So like, once or twice a week, I pop over there. And I just started reading through this stuff. You're welcome. It's insanely dramatic. It wasn't just isn't. I'll share it with you. Yeah.
Matt Fischer 15:14
No. One wants to know, right? Yeah. link up in the comments. become one of our premium subscribers get a link to this person's profile secretly.
Justin MacDonald 15:26
But they'll they'll post the most like, over the top dramatic stuff. And then they'll post something like, moderately like, Hey, I'm looking for places. Hey, can anyone help me out? That will like line up and like, Hey, Ben, I know you're in a rough time. And I'm like, you see how crazy is crazy she is and your job?
Matt Fischer 15:46
Like, they're called nice guys. Right?
Justin MacDonald 15:49
Anyway, all this happens. It's happening for a few weeks. And then I go shopping the other night, I randomly I haven't been to an actual store store. And I don't know how long, but I was like, Oh, I gotta brag. No, no, I just mean, the I pay
Matt Fischer 16:02
someone to do my shopping. No,
Justin MacDonald 16:05
I just wear the same clothes like Mike Miller, you can attest this. It's the same black shirt all the time. But ultimately, I had like a card that was gonna whatever, you know, whatever they call that when it goes away, expired expired. It was gonna expire. You know the words I get close, just fill in the gaps. So it's gonna expire. So it's like, I let me swing in here over the Ross on my side of town. And I see this person. And like, oh my gosh, I don't know this person at all. I don't think they have a home right now. And here they are. Did you ask them for a picture? No. And I broke my role. And I kind of took a sneak picture because I had to share with the two people that I talked to about, but it was like it was literally like a celebrity sighting. Like I can't believe I'm seeing this person. It was did they look like they had this? It was very sad. Like, drug use is evident and I felt
Matt Fischer 16:57
really bad. Wow, this took a turn on. The last couple of details out and left everyone who doesn't know who the heck you're talking about. You know, with somewhat of a good feeling. Yeah,
Justin MacDonald 17:08
that's my best stop laughing Oh, wow. Oh, so now we don't like the sad story.
Matt Fischer 17:13
Yes, totally. When are they in a costume? Because then it would be entertaining
Justin MacDonald 17:18
lots of makeup. I'll tell you that much
Matt Fischer 17:20
looking like clown from spawn up in here. One
Justin MacDonald 17:23
of the best characters ever. John Leguizamo his best role speaking of comic Well, next to the past. Speaking of comic book movies. Yeah, you already talked about that? No. Spouse comic.
Matt Fischer 17:34
I thought your segue is called callback. Well pick a topic. male birth control.
Justin MacDonald 17:44
How did you know that's what BC meant? Maybe I meant male before Chris.
Jesse James 17:49
Ma I O. Male.
Matt Fischer 17:52
Male before Christ.
Justin MacDonald 17:54
BC. Is it you just understanding what I was getting at? Or you know, okay. Yeah, male birth control. You know, I'm just, it was just a joke, man.
Matt Fischer 18:07
I'm trying to figure out where to go from here.
Justin MacDonald 18:09
So now male birth control now are they tested successfully, supposedly, like 99 in rats, and 99%.
Matt Fischer 18:17
mice or rats, mice, mice, mice? Mice? He had like a little smirk. Like, I don't believe that. He's just like mice.
Justin MacDonald 18:25
Okay, I wrote it. They tested it and wrote is why you get so caught up in these small details. I don't know. Right? Yeah. They have male birth control testing and 99% effective in rodents,
Jesse James 18:38
mice. Mice.
Matt Fischer 18:43
Is that
Justin MacDonald 18:46
anyway? Anyway? Game Changer. For mice. Yeah. You want to see my face? was watching is gone. Now. You're at zero?
Matt Fischer 19:01
That's fine. That's fine.
Justin MacDonald 19:03
So male birth control. Doesn't matter for me. Because I'm done anyway. You're financially and physically done? Yeah. But yeah, it's for me, or I guess, for a lot of people. I guess it depends on what it does to the hormones, right.
Matt Fischer 19:26
female birth control messes with their hormones and like we expect them to take that all the time to Okay, thank you for like, male feminists, I'm just saying like, I'd be floored if they added that's what
Justin MacDonald 19:37
I was gonna say is if it doesn't affect the hormones, like I like it does for women. I think that's a great thing. And sometimes just so you know, it's a positive effect hormone.
Matt Fischer 19:46
Yeah. And then there's, there's negative it just it's one of those things. I think it's great if they come out with it when people choose it.
Justin MacDonald 19:51
Well, and that's the question is, if it does affect male hormones, and it you know, drops testosterone, like do Do you think that people will take it?
Matt Fischer 20:03
I don't know. I don't know. That's, I mean, that's a tough one. Because it's just like, are they going to just keep expecting their significant other to be taking their birth control? Yeah, well, I'm not gonna take it because it's gonna mess with me. Right? take yours, you know, and then we can introduce them to something called a condom. Because that'll work. Well, I'm just saying like, it's, I don't know, it's, it's one of those things where, you know, it's just like, there's multiple ways of not having a child like, I think this would be great if we have another like, a way that you can take a prescription to do it. So you don't have to worry about other prophylactics and you know, maybe you want to double up maybe the girls on it too, because it does help our hormones but then you take it because you just definitely don't want a child. You know, but I think it's about time we've had one personally. Yeah, it is non hormonal. It doesn't mess with testosterone at
Jesse James 20:49
all. But how do they know? Because they
Matt Fischer 20:51
tested in mice we frickin went over this. Yeah, okay. Trials later this year, it binds to a protein that does something that blocks vitamin A which is crucial to fertility and virility in mammals we talked about at one time there was that one would there Australian or something they like zap your balls and that like made Yeah. Oh, that's what it was as you dip your your boys in a cup and like zap them or something. And it was like birth control for like a month. And then like eventually went back to normal so it's like completely reversible, but it did something down there that like
Jesse James 21:22
that seems like the safer alternative.
Matt Fischer 21:26
That's sarcasm. I didn't know I was like, I don't know. It seems crazy. Yeah. But I mean at the same time like tingles but if it goes away, though, I mean, I that's you know, that's my only concern would be like when does it wear off? They take the ZAP one Yeah, zap. Wow. Like because you teabag this thing is temporary. Just do a weekly. Just right. Okay.
Justin MacDonald 21:54
Anyway, I think it's pretty interesting. Pretty cool. Agreed. Even though you're aggressively yelling at me even though I agree with you that like
Matt Fischer 22:00
okay, you may have no bearing on like Tom to someone else's aggressive. Okay, Mr. Pop meet Mr. Kendall.
Jesse James 22:07
Mike Miller wants to know if it's been tested on dolphins yet, bro.
Matt Fischer 22:13
Now, because we don't do no sexual trials, the dolphins don't work because they be suiciding themselves on callback. That's called a callback callback.
Justin MacDonald 22:21
We are worse. Yeah. Wiener wiener wars?
Matt Fischer 22:25
No Birth Control necessary there.
Justin MacDonald 22:27
No. Well, competition
Matt Fischer 22:30
winners don't get you pregnant. Food type?
Justin MacDonald 22:38
We like to win wars. What is it Jesse
Jesse James 22:42
to hot dog competitions? Well, downtown. I don't know what's so funny. It's a perfect segue. 12 downtown restaurants are competing to see who is the winner the
Justin MacDonald 22:53
top restaurants downtown.
Matt Fischer 22:54
There's probably more Wow, there are now
Justin MacDonald 22:57
cool. So they're gonna go for the winner King winner
Jesse James 22:59
king so they're going to be serving up. You know, we're full size winners. They get to pick the topping base winners the same. So it should be
Matt Fischer 23:09
how long? It should be entering your mouth. How long is the sample winner? Asking for a friend. There cut in threes. Okay, so you don't have like a length Tama?
Jesse James 23:27
No. Okay, if I were guessing I'd say three inches. Gotcha.
Justin MacDonald 23:31
So, just this is the ticket. Yes,
Jesse James 23:35
it is $25 to get in all the proceeds go to the account outreach foundation and Marion County Literacy Council.
Justin MacDonald 23:43
Okay, how many tickets are available? Several 100

Jesse James 23:57
April 20 at the at the market
Justin MacDonald 23:59
can you explain interesting this is gonna be like a you walk around to each place and get a little so
Jesse James 24:03
what we're gonna do is basically going to be set up like a bar crawl so you're gonna have the little turnout that's gonna have all the logos Yeah, restaurants go get your hole punched and then it's People's Choice. Gets a hole punch that the winner competition
Matt Fischer 24:19
with that three sample size. Oh.
Jesse James 24:23
So then it's People's Choice. So then once you try all the winners and get all your holes punched, you cast your vote for your favorite winner. How do you cast your vote for a bucket? You either live music. Yeah, live musics going on. We have the bitters and Lizzy Gillespie he fittingly, I heard
Matt Fischer 24:43
they're gonna be in hot dog costumes.
Jesse James 24:45

Matt Fischer 25:33
They can put on rollerblades but yeah, they realize
Justin MacDonald 25:35
they're gonna they're gonna go from Webb field, which is like, what is that 14 MLK, all the way down to downtown. So they're gonna go over the bridge. So that to like, tell people like, Hey, don't don't put chairs up for this. Like what? Put them on the side of the bridge? Yeah.
Matt Fischer 25:54
People would. Yeah, they're like rope off like a whole lane. You know? Yeah. Like, I'm entitled to sit here.
Justin MacDonald 26:00
i I'll be interested to see how that works. I don't know if like, like two people get to, like, merge with them. Or like, I don't really, I guess we're gonna find out. But we go for
Matt Fischer 26:11

Matt Fischer 26:31
one trusted news source for local inspired news. By the way,
Justin MacDonald 26:35
it's gonna be pretty cool. Excited to see them. They're gonna get the key to the city. I think Joey and Brittany I know already got this thing,
Matt Fischer 26:41
like, get in whenever they want. That's what I thought as a child.
Justin MacDonald 26:44
I was. I really wanted the key to the city. I still kind of do. Because I genuinely thought like, you get in every door. Now
Matt Fischer 26:52
if you become mayor and the 20 was a 2223. Camp 24 campaign, you get the key to the city and you can give it out. Just one year as many as you want. Actually. Yeah. You gotta like you get a key. All the boys beginning keys.
Jesse James 27:08
I'm always the key to the city.
Matt Fischer 27:10
Yeah, we knew what we want. Huh? Was that was that campaign again? I'm not gonna start having meeting we got the giant heads for. We'll get you in there. Don't
Justin MacDonald 27:18
worry. Yeah.
Matt Fischer 27:19
What do you want to am worried? Actually, it's an easy job. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. They get in there figure it out when you
Justin MacDonald 27:27
don't worry about it. Don't worry about Yeah. Anyway, that'll be pretty exciting. So pick the next
Matt Fischer 27:33
topic up there
Justin MacDonald 27:39
then the needle army army in the end.
Matt Fischer 27:44
Every time I speak Spanish Yeah. So um, spring break is popping off so hard in Miami right now that there are just so many like, like crazy outbursts. And I think some acts of violence that the city is actually imposing a cutoff curfew for the sale of liquor at 6pm in the entertainment entertainment district for the remainder of spring break.
Jesse James 28:08
Is it because the video of the girl torquing on 95
Matt Fischer 28:11
I think I think that has something to do with it. No, this
Jesse James 28:14
car was going down. 95
Matt Fischer 28:16
That's what's up though. I mean, wow, dedication you go queen. Like, I'm just saying, like the dedication to be like, I want to get on this movie car 90. Just
Justin MacDonald 28:28
like live your best life. I've seen that. But now.
Matt Fischer 28:31
Yeah, video. I mean, you put your life at risk for the entertainment of others. How bad
Justin MacDonald 28:35
are things that Miami state completely opened during, like terrible.
Matt Fischer 28:40
And then they're saying like, no liquor, and they gonna shut it down for so here's, here's the funny thing. It's performative, though, because you can still get beer and liquor like everything. Dude, everything's performative in 2022. No one cares about anything anymore. Just we're gonna act like we care about something. So other people think we're decent human beings, when in reality, we're all pieces of shit, you know? To for to Yeah, sorry. You don't think you are you're lying yourself? Because we. Anyway, if you could still get liquor and beer till 2am at a bar restaurant, and you can still buy your package liquor. Like as soon as the store opens up until 6pm. So you're saying they shouldn't
Justin MacDonald 29:21
do anything? Well,
Matt Fischer 29:23
I'm just saying it's, I mean, I don't think it's gonna it's going to stop the real. I guess it's probably going to stop the dumbest of the bunch. I can't plan ahead to buy enough liquor before 6pm. Right? I that's the only people is gonna stop. And it's all in one district. It's only the entertainment district where everyone's spring breaking, though. Take a four minute drive outside. That's the thing, though, is just like it's so easily scriptable. And like the article I was reading, they're interviewing people, and they're just like, Well, I mean, I guess we just stock up before 6pm Then I mean, it's not going to change my party. And I'm like, Yeah, exactly. That's my thought, you know, and then but the liquor store owners, some of them are like, six 8pm is our busiest time and we're making a killing right now. The spring break week and this is really going to hurt our bottom dollar. So you know you get mixed opinions on where do you stand? Where do I stand? I mean look if you don't want to be the spot for spring break, don't be Miami. Okay? Yeah, like just you gotta take you know Daytona went there. Panama City Panama City Beach like look it's gonna blow over you're gonna be the spot for a couple years and then they're gonna move on to somewhere else stick with it you know pull yourself up by your bootstraps Miami and then it's gonna move on to the next beach
Justin MacDonald 30:32
town sound a little Kim Kardashian there Yeah,
Matt Fischer 30:35
no, but I'm serious I'm like it's gonna it might be an issue for the week and then for the next year so but it will eventually move on to some new hotspot and then let them deal with is their problem now?
Justin MacDonald 30:47
Yeah, I mean, I don't totally disagree with you there.
Matt Fischer 30:49
I just from from the sake of like, I don't I just don't think it's going to curve much. I think it is just them going like hey, we know it's crazy right now. So look at what we're doing in reality they're not doing anything but they can say we're doing something right that's my opinion on it. Okay, there we go.
Justin MacDonald 31:07
I neither agree nor disagree. I mean, I feel like yeah, just typical. It'll blow over it'll blow over it'll be alright. Yeah, great. And I'm not like I haven't been down there so I don't know what like the madness is like, like I've been to Daytona during spring break when it was like the height of time to be there was also a kid yeah
Matt Fischer 31:29
apparently they're trashing the beach because Chrissy said they're issuing citations and on your third citation you get called a butthead so basically yeah, they're not really doing anything. Yeah. Citation right like here you go like someone's like, you know, drunk as hell like just knee walk in and they're like, here's a citation they're gonna throw it away like next butthead when I'm half drunk. Right.
Justin MacDonald 31:50
Boo. The Littering is gross. Literally. Do it again. Ah, today is Hollywood. See Mac, two pockets. Chris Mackey's birthday. Happy birthday, Chris Mackey. I know you're not watching. You don't even want to be on the show. It's too early. Yeah.
Matt Fischer 32:10
He said he's waking up at noon.
Justin MacDonald 32:12
I'm working.
Jesse James 32:14
Working on waking up. Yeah, right.
Matt Fischer 32:16
That we can stay up all night. But dude is wild. Hey, Chris.
Justin MacDonald 32:20
Chris case you didn't know. By the way. The time behind us is for sale. I know, Jordans piece right there. I don't know all of the artists in here. But that's Jordans. Can you? Yeah, you can see. I gotta play it further. Yeah,
Matt Fischer 32:33
I think we got some Jordans some OG, I think. I think there's one of Andres Garcia's pieces, too. So check it out. Guys.
Justin MacDonald 32:41
What do you do all the time? Yeah, one of the pieces behind us has been bought. Yeah,
Matt Fischer 32:45
I'd say my my absolute favorite, though, is I really do like dogs. Big Red One though. That that's bought so you can the big red one. Ah, the robot spot. I thought the same thing? Yeah. This whole time you missed because you're both dumb. Well, yeah. I knew it. 20
Jesse James 33:02
rubbing off on us. Yep. Big Head energy.
Justin MacDonald 33:07
We don't or fortunately. We'd be rubbing off on you. Ready Player three. I haven't even read Ready Player Two.
Matt Fischer 33:18
Oh, it's not about the book. It's a Japanese startup companies trying to figure out how to inflict pain in the metaverse. Well, you kind of need it through through haptic devices. And the whole point of like, Ready Player One, the book just shock someone. The whole Yeah, I mean, it's like, I guess I wrote this book after the movie came out. I don't know. But anyway, that like point of that is like you wore this haptic suit when you go into like, the VR because it's like, basically, you know, the world is kind of crappy. And
Justin MacDonald 33:45
if you're not familiar with the Ready Player One, it's virtual reality. Yeah. You put the helmet on, and you put on a suit. And you're in a whole nother Well,
Matt Fischer 33:53
the really like, if you have money, you have like a really full feeling Soo and then if you didn't have money, it's just like little sensors here and there. But like, yeah, this startup is like doing that with a small sensor that is like, it's it's trying to, like, consume constrict the muscles. Let's be
Justin MacDonald 34:07
honest. They say they're going for pain. But we know we all know what they're doing. We know
Matt Fischer 34:11
when I read Japanese stars. And I read the article, and I'm like, I'm reading between the lines here. And I'm like, Yeah, I'm on to you guys. Because it says they're trying to so the headline was misleading because it said, like, you know, they're trying to inflict pain in the metaverse. But really, what they were doing is creating like these haptic sensors that go on your initially that go in your arms, to where if you're picking something up, you can feel its weight, or feel like the resistance if you're like trying to throw or pull something, you know, and so that's when I started being like, Ah, I see where you're getting a you need, you want that tactile feel with just your hands starting all that throw in and pull it down and Polen Yeah, and like nothing so we'll see what that but I thought that was interesting because I'm like, hold on, and I got the best quote from them. I did write this down because it just seemed sad. It's because they wanted to release humans from any sort of constraint in terms of space, body and time. And I was like, that is very, like dystopian.
Justin MacDonald 35:09
Yeah, for sure. Weird. Yeah. Like, I think one of the fire departments here in the country and I don't have all the facts on that, but is utilizing like one of those like MIT robot dogs. Maybe so far do you think it was a fire department? And I was like, Wait a minute. Isn't that big in Fahrenheit? 451 like the robot dogs that like sniff out people that are reading or something like that.
Matt Fischer 35:35
They also burned a lot of books. In which we'd be burning books in 2022 Still, which is bonkers? What books I can't remember which ones are burning recently. It was some like far far right extremists dude was like gathered a bunch of people to burn some books. Like he was one of those nut jobs though.
Justin MacDonald 35:51
Yeah, yeah, that's never seems like a good answer. No matter what side you're on like it's a
Matt Fischer 35:57
yeah Haven't you like seen history? Just delete it. Burn books like never Yeah, I don't get that I don't get when people are like let's bank Let's burn something banned something outlaw something just because like, I don't agree with it. Yeah. Like I understand like, yeah, like murder should be illegal. You know, it's not one of those things with like, if I want to kill someone, I should. It's like, No, we all can agree that that's bad. But like with the other stuff, it's just like, yeah, just if you don't want to do it, don't do it. Like other people might like reading books. So anyway, what? Give me no judge. Yes. Look,
Jesse James 36:28
she's
Justin MacDonald 36:30
number three. I was just letting you know. I was number three. What? Who? Number three customer? Okay, my bad. Good. I don't want to be on the chopping block right now. Okay. Keep keep going about books that you don't like you want to ban?
Matt Fischer 36:47
No, I stopped that. I don't like I'm not the one trying to ban books here.
Justin MacDonald 36:53
So you want to ban people banning books is what you're saying?
36:57
No, no. Nevermind. So you it's okay. For us to ban books. But we can't burn them. Guys, he's losing guys. I'm lost. Yeah.
Justin MacDonald 37:11
Me personal? Yeah.
Matt Fischer 37:13
Yeah, I kind of ran out of financial course. Yeah. Do you hear about that?
Justin MacDonald 37:17
I had to go through a personal finance course in high school. Apparently, like
Matt Fischer 37:21
it just, you know, pass in like the whatever, Florida, whatever, whatever, that they're gonna have a half credit. Course mandatory and high school for personal finance. Yeah, we
Justin MacDonald 37:30
have those is called like personal economics
Matt Fischer 37:32
or something like that. Was it mandatory? They would agree. Yeah, it was mandatory graduate. Now that's a lie. Because this is like the first time it's happened. No. So you just miss remembering something now, otherwise, they wouldn't have been on the news cycle.
Justin MacDonald 37:44
Just so you know. That's true. He's got a point. They can choose county by county things that they request statewide. Right. So that that goes all right, you all have to do it. But counties could do it before. So yes, I win this one. I had to do an economics course. But the problem is, is that was 2003 or four that I did it. And credit was only invented, like the credit score was only invented in like the late 80s, which is bonkers, right? Which is stupid. So while there was a lot of great information, one of the bad pieces of information was like, never get a credit card ever. And because that's what everyone kind of thought. So don't do that. Because you can, you know, run up this debt and you can be paid off. But what they didn't really know is like, Oh, you're not gonna be able to buy anything. Without a decent credit score. You can't get a decent credit score without getting you're gonna
Matt Fischer 38:33
be able to finance anything. Right? Yeah. Because it's just I don't know, some people shouldn't have a credit card, because you do talk to some people. Now, again, I got eight credit cards, they're all maxed out. Right? Why are you spending money you don't
Justin MacDonald 38:44
have but but for people that have no debt, and they want to go like, you know, I want to go finance a car. And you see advertised like 0.99 or 2.99. And they're like, Oh, we don't have any bad debt. And you have plenty of money to put down on this. But you're at 17.99%. Yeah. And I say that because that was my first motorcycle payment ever. Ooh, that hurts. Well, I had to do something. It was just like 70% APR on your motorcycle 18.99. But there was like, Well, I don't know how to build credit otherwise, right? So I was like, Alright, fine, I'll do this. And I mean, it was fine, because I put a big chunk down, like, but I just didn't know enough about it. That's like, oh, so I paid 1000s of dollars, potentially, you know, if I would have paid the whole thing on, you know, finance, I pay all that because I just didn't have a credit score, even though I had no debt and I had plenty of money and income to go directly toward it. So it's like, alright, well, that wasn't great information. So it's good that they're requiring this but hopefully,
Matt Fischer 39:42
you know, who knows who's making the curriculum though? That's like the next question. I was like, what are they teaching? Like I said, gonna come out and it's gonna be the new age of don't get a credit card. Ricky No.
Justin MacDonald 39:50
Curriculum is a weird thing to me anyway, like, I don't think that we should be so involved, like, somewhat involved in curriculum, but specifically with some of the other bills that are going on right now, it's like yeah, sometimes you have teachers that are way off in left field or way off in Rayfield, right. And you just have to, like parse that information yourself. Like you have to learn to deal with people with differing opinions. And if you're a parent is concerned about it, then you need to like be like, active with your kid and what they're learning when they go, Hey, this teacher said this thing crazy like oh, yeah, right there right on this but like don't pay attention to that or whatever it may be like I have a different opinion on that. Opinions are facts. Opinions are
Matt Fischer 40:34
nowadays in 2022. And to get your new financial advice, you need to continue to watch unwanted opinions Friday at 8am because we're doing our own financial literacy course. And FTS baby and FTS put all your money in it Go big or go home guys. That's our show. Thank you for tuning in. Stay with us there a technical difficult
