Speaker A
Welcome, welcome, welcome. We're live. Y'all got me live for the next hour. We're headed to the basketball game, and I'm going to try to make it to the Sheets gas station on E. Hopefully, we make it without running out of gas. I
Speaker A
got 11 more miles left to go. So, we're headed there. So, this live stream is going to be about the coping that I used to do, gig workers still do, Lyft drivers, everybody just tries to do. And it goes outside of just coping with the
Speaker A
gig apps. It goes into women who, you know, are like the hot thing in their 20s. And then when they hit 30, when it's time for them to, you know, wake up next to their husband, you know, for the
Speaker A
rest of their life, they don't have an option because they are, you know, for the most part what society would call cooked. And now they expect to have the best guy available and not they call settle for a regular guy.
Speaker A
Shout to Cory in the building. And it goes out to men who literally are, you know, they waste their best years, financial years, and become brokies because they don't do what's necessary to make things happen. And then they want to blame society for them
Speaker A
being broken. They don't want to live with the fact when they're in their 40s. So, we're going to break this all down. Shout out to Nab in the building. And I told Nab, Nab, he might disagree with me on that.
Speaker A
I told him he can come up. Nab, feel free to come up anytime. But I think that Nab might be the voice for the people that don't want to hear the truth. And you know what made my channel
Speaker A
great is that I spoke truth which comes off as embarrassing myself for people to understand that they're being sold a spoiled good, a bill of goods that they're running around like they're not cooked when you're cooked.
Speaker A
Like if you don't want to be cooked no more, stop doing gig work and go get a skill or trade. But if you're doing gig work such as what I'm doing, it doesn't mean that I'm because I'm Dennis that
Speaker A
I'm successful. And because Dennis is saying that, you know, he's doing gig work does not mean that, you know, like you're not cooked. You're still cooked. I'm cooked. You're cooked. Nab cooked. Everybody's cooked on gig work because think about this. You're gonna
Speaker A
tell your kid, "Child, to 50 grand, man. Laker cap error is real. It's absolutely real." But you're gonna tell your kid, "Hey son, I'm a gig worker. You can be a gig worker when you grow up." No. No.
Speaker A
Now there's exceptions. There's exceptions. Okay. Shout out to Umbrella Trading Corporation. Talking about some crunchy draws. Shout out to Good Riddens. There's exceptions to that rule, such as people that own their home and car. Yes, gig work might work for
Speaker A
you because you own everything already. So, it ain't that big of a deal for you to be doing gig work. It's actually great to do gig work because you got time to kill. That's an exception.
Speaker A
Another exception, if you shout out to Umbrella Trading Corporation, Uncle Lurk with the 44 jewels. 440 jewels. I don't know how many jewels that is, but shout out to you, man. I appreciate that, um, the jewels. Thank you, man. But there's
Speaker A
other exceptions like if you're young, you could do gig work. Um Drew says, "Stay hydrated." Shout out to you. I appreciate that, man. Stay hydrated.
Speaker A
Appreciate that. Yeah, we're trying, man. We got the water right here. We're trying to stay hydrated. Got the water right here. You get to get some more because of you, my man. I'm going to swallow some of that water, that liquid,
Speaker A
put it down my throat. But back to the point, shout out to you, man. I appreciate the jewels.
Speaker A
So, you know, let's welcome Nab in the building. Yeah. What up, man? Dennis. Uh, can you hear me?
Speaker A
Myself. My bad. I accidentally muted myself. How you doing, man? No problem. How you doing?
Speaker A
I don't know if y'all heard me. I was giving a shout out to the, um, I was giving a shout out to Umbrella Trading Corporation. He said, "Stay hydrated," and Uncle Alert with, um, some druids attached to it. Shout out to you, man. I
Speaker A
appreciate you. So, let's get straight to it. Let's not waste no time. Okay. Yeah. Uh, I think that if you are doing gig work as a, you know, 40 year old in life, you're cooked unless you own your
Speaker A
home and car or you're retired and you're just doing it for extra money. But if you're doing it full time other than the 1%, like the Bobby who makes, you know, 2,000 a week, whatever, you know, other than that 1% of people, I think
Speaker A
you're cooked. So, you tell me why you're not cooked. Um, well, first of all, I think life is, you know, all about perspective. What makes someone cooked, right? Like someone, there's someone out there that I don't know, they might have zero dollars. They
Speaker A
might be strung out to, to them, a gig worker, you know, is good. It's, it depends on who you're comparing them to, I guess.
Speaker A
Think about what you just compared gig work to. [laughter] You compare gig work to somebody who's strung out on drugs to be desperate enough to do gig work. I rest my case.
Speaker A
Let me, let me, let me say that a different way. [clears throat] What makes people look down on gig work? Why is this such a bad job? Um, and let me add this part too. Let's say there's like a Domino's driver or a dedicated
Speaker A
delivery driver. Are they seen different than gig work? Uh, I, I don't know. Let me give a shout out to, shout out to Ski. You're, shout out to mother eff and Snab. Hold it down. Shout out to you. I appreciate
Speaker A
that. Shout out. Say that. So say that one more time. Well, I guess what I'm saying is, uh, what makes people look down on gig workers?
Speaker A
That's question one. Question two, a dedicated driver like Domino's or any dedicated driver, are they seen different than a gig worker?
Speaker A
Uh, yeah. No, they're all bottom feeder jobs. Wow. Now, if you do know making under $30,000 a year, you're pretty much living in, you're going to live in poverty or you have to live super modest life, which ain't nothing wrong with living a
Speaker A
pretty, pretty, um, modest life. But you do realize though if you don't make over $30,000 or $30 an hour, you're pretty much going to be, um, you're never going to be more than middle class, which is okay, but you're going to be
Speaker A
living between middle class and poor the whole rest of your life. I mean, okay. I mean, what can I say? I mean, if someone is comparing themselves to something, something else, comparison is the thief of joy, isn't it?
Speaker A
No, I mean, just do, just do the math. This matter, but ain't no comparison.
Speaker A
It's the truth. Think about it. If you're making with gig work, you're not on average. You're making $20 an hour.
Speaker A
Let's be real. You're making $20 an hour doing gig work. I do. You do. That's max after expenses and everything. So, if you make $20 an hour and you work like most of us have to work 50 hours a week,
Speaker A
that's, that's, that's $1,000 a week. And that's, you know, just say that's just say 50 thou. You got to take two weeks off. You ain't going to work every single day, every single year. That's $50,000 a year. Okay? You got to pay
Speaker A
your rent. Most Americans, you know, we all got to pay our rent. That's going to be at least, you know, with you and most people having kids, that's like $1,300.
Speaker A
Then you got to buy food. They got to pay your health insurance. They got to pay your car insurance. Then you got to pay your cell phone bill. Your bills right there is close to $2,000 and gas.
Speaker A
You're at $2,000 for extra stuff. That's $2,000 a month. So if you deduct that, that leaves you with $26,000 to do whatever with. Now, keep in mind, you got to pay your taxes on that 50. So that means, you know, you know, most of
Speaker A
us get away with, get away with like 10%. So right there, you know, that's like 20, just say $20,000 left over. If you do that for, you know, 30 years, which, you know, gig ain't going to last that long. It's
Speaker A
probably going to last for another maybe 20 years. You got $400,000. Maybe not. You got $400,000 if you spend no money, which you know, you got to spend some money. We all going to spend money. So, with that said, how can you retire off
Speaker A
of $400,
Speaker A
after you have to retire? I guess that's fair. I mean, when you put it that way, what can I say? I guess gig work, you got to have you got to have something before doing gig work, right?
Speaker A
Yeah. And shout out to OG Kicks. No, not a N. What it is is shout OG Kicks ski if you make under 30K, you need a man at the home. Absolutely. What it is is we've been brainwashed. See, we've been
Speaker A
brainwashed into thinking that uh doing gig work is a means to an end. Like meaning that you're going to do it and retire. Dude, none of nobody's going to retire off of gig work. You're going to be broke. Now, of course, if you work
Speaker A
like Sam and the guys that make a h 100,000 a year, then yeah, in five to six years, they're good. But in reality, yeah, as the guy said in the chat, gig work is going under in five years
Speaker A
because they already got self-driving cars. They already got the robots delivering Door Dash orders.
Speaker A
This is the reality of gig work. Pedro had that convention for gig workers and nobody showed up. Why? They couldn't afford to take a day off of work.
Speaker A
Not only that, not only that, but because the first one was decent, it's because most of the people that do gig work are dweebs. Like just in reality, they're not cool people. Who wants to hang around? Like no offense to to to um
Speaker A
the one dude that's in Arizona, the Arizona. Um who wants to hang around that dude? Like who wants to hang around Uber Uber Jeep? He's like a big content creator. I don't want to hang around him. Like there's really not too many. I
Speaker A
don't want to hang around Pedro. Like the only one I might enjoy a little bit is freaking um Dash and Trader. But even with that, I don't I don't relate to no gig. Most gig workers are dweebs and and are weirdos. Just think about
Speaker A
all the gig workers on YouTube. I'm one of the only ones that that like Mike Drop Barbecue is cool, but just imagine hanging around with Mike Drop Barbecue.
Speaker A
He's going to be going crazy thirsty. And make sure nav don't mention no names that's on in the chat that I don't rock with. They could just be in the chat. We're not rocking with But here's a situation. Imagine Mike
Speaker A
drop barbecue trying to hang with him. He's going to be preaching to you about like nonsense the whole time. like, hey, you know, you get this vehicle and hey, I have this imaginary business 10 years ago I created that was worth millions of
Speaker A
dollars, blah blah blah blah blah. And you know, the crazy thing about it is he has a good personality, but he was just preached the whole time. You know, I actually talk about random stuff when I meet people out. I don't talk about
Speaker A
gig work, but like it ain't really no cool ones. Roy is okay, but I mean I can't relate to Roy. No offense to you, Roy. Uh [snorts] me and Roy don't we don't we just don't I just couldn't I
Speaker A
mean I I would have a big you know I mean if if I was in Vegas I would tell Roy to pull up let's go club it but Roy wouldn't be somebody I would like like go to see at a conference
Speaker A
okay [clears throat] you know so by the way I'm gonna just open I'm gonna I'm gonna do something I'm gonna do I'm just put the link in ski if you want to come up that's fine I'm gonna give because been rocking out
Speaker A
he's been showing a lot of So, I'm going to put the link up. If Ski wants to come up, that's fine. Nobody else lets you disagree. If you disagree, you can come up. And none and if any of the people
Speaker A
that I don't rock with try to come up, I'm going to just boot you and I'm going to block you from the chat. So, don't even waste your time. I'm going to boot you from the chat if you try to come up
Speaker A
and you know I don't rock with you. So, and by the way, don't I mention none of that stuff because you know I told these people don't give no super chats, don't do no donations, don't do nothing because um we don't rock with
Speaker A
[clears throat] them. Now, now back to the point. Now, do you see a dead end? I mean, do you I said obviously we all see dead ends, but do you see a Why do you see Let's Let's dissect the mind of a gig worker that's
Speaker A
still corrupted. Do you see a light at the end of the tunnel? Um, I just see it as something where it's like even I know we just talked about this recently, but like I think it's always good for 100 a day, right? if you
Speaker A
do enough hours. But overall, no. I don't know. Maybe I just got brainwashed. I think it's one of those things. You ever heard of sunken cost fallacy?
Speaker A
No. What's that? Um, it's people where like they buy a stock and it goes down 10%. Instead of cutting their losses, they hold it until it goes down 50% or more. So, I don't know. Maybe it's kind of hard to stop
Speaker A
doing something even though it's negative because then you got to admit that it ain't no good for you. Um maybe that's the issue me and a lot of gig workers have.
Speaker A
Yeah, that makes sense because you know I used to be just like that because I used to think that it was I used to think that gig work is great. I know what gig works they give me. Like today
Speaker A
I'm I'm at like for the week I'm at like $23 total for the whole two days so far.
Speaker A
Now, keep in mind, I've been doing um you know, my goal is to make $200 a day.
Speaker A
You know, keep doctor away. That's $6,000 I'll make end of the month. Now, of course, it's going to take me I'm getting back on my medication. I got appointment on Thursday so I can maintain my focus and not drift off to a
Speaker A
million other things, but my goal is to do 200 a day while managing my son's schedule and everything else I got going on. Now, of course, when I started doing basketball training, I just ran into a um a a guy that has like a a nonprofit.
Speaker A
He has his own location that I'm going to look to help out and work with.
Speaker A
They're like a pro black movement and I'm going to like try to go and like attach myself to help the community.
Speaker A
Finally, I got like a hey my brother, you know, type of situation. Shout of course. So yeah, situation like everything's falling in place because I'm back to what I love, my passion, which is to create and I can't create with, you know, that job.
Speaker A
They actually, you know, I don't know if you you saw the video, but they actually created a a creator program because of me. I reached out to them with my manager, asked her if I could reach out to them, and I did cuz, you know,
Speaker A
everybody was harassing them about me streaming. So I told him straight up, look, this is going to get you new drivers. I do it safely and people actually engage and enjoy it. What they did though was they made the numbers so
Speaker A
outrageously high that nobody's going to reach. So they're never going to pay. But they still created that program. And now and they put 3 months because they know that I don't want to do the job. So they're trying to get me suckered back
Speaker A
in with that whole cap. You got to work 3 months straight before you can get paid. I'm not doing it. She already told me I can come back anytime because I know I don't want to wake up early to
Speaker A
start delivering u or sorting packages for free and then I want to deliver, you know, like 150 houses. I ain't trying to be doing that crap when I can just get in the car and just drive and I
Speaker A
can like do my YouTube. I can do, you know, I got people in the back seat kicking it out. I can do everything so that I want to do and I enjoy my time doing this more than doing that delivery
Speaker A
job. But that's an option for me. So with that with that said, do you what do you think it's going to take for you to have a find figure out an exit plan or to understand this is just for this is
Speaker A
just for a year. This just for a year. I mean I'm going have to be like I'm going just have to remove myself from it. That's that's the only way because you get too comfortable. I mean it's just you click a button and you work.
Speaker A
But um I don't know. I guess you know it ain't no good though. I'm not going to I'm not going to promote it. I'm not going to say anybody should do it. It is definitely something that should be done
Speaker A
on the side. I'm getting that more and more now. Absolutely. There you go. So, so um you know, that's kind of where my my goal is because So, here's here's another little little tidbit. So, um, and I'm gonna,
Speaker A
without acknowledging, um, any of of those folks, um, we're gonna acknowledge one thing real quick. So, you see that number up top, right?
Speaker A
Mhm. You know, the reason why that number is there is due to the fact that um, my YouTube channel is the algorithm is for entertainment. because of the fact my channel at one point when I posted gig work videos I did big numbers but then
Speaker A
when I started um posting entertainment videos I did low numbers talking about you know topics and stuff but then when I switched to talking about topics and I started doing um gig work videos I mean I'm start now that I'm doing gig work
Speaker A
videos not topical videos all my videos talking about me personally do regular numbers 500 to thousand uh views then on the concurrent um number is usually about 50 in the chat, 40 to 50 in the chat when I'm talking about
Speaker A
me. But when I talk about gig work now directly talking about gig work um now the numbers are low because um the algorithm is not used to this content on this channel and I learned how YouTube and these algorithms work. And I'll just
Speaker A
give you real quick brief uh explainer. The way um the gig apps I mean the way YouTube works is once like that the subscriber count don't matter no more.
Speaker A
So, it ain't a flex that you got like 100,000 subscribers, 200. It's all about the people watching a video, then watching another video. As soon as somebody watches two of your videos, you're in their algorithm for a few
Speaker A
days. Unless they're just binging a bunch of random videos, then they might have somebody else that pops up, but you're going to pop up. So, by me having everybody that's here right now, I'm going to show up in their feed. I'm
Speaker A
going to show up in their feed for the next week. So, it's all about me retaining these people watching right now. So, I'm gonna always have 19 people watching my YouTube channel. So, that's the reason why um in a week if I can
Speaker A
maintain this and also you got to stream at the same time, post at the same time, which is what I'm trying to do. So, as long as I maintain this time slot to where I stream at, you know, 5 6:00ish, but I need to get get a
Speaker A
set time. But as long as I maintain this, these 19 people are always going to be here. But it's going to be the new people that come back that see, oh, he's talking about gig work again. And then
Speaker A
the people that are um new to the channel, period, because you know, they never seen my channel before. These people are going to also be on my channel and they're going to be tuned in every stream. So that's the
Speaker A
number game. So don't let like that. It's just a debunked. I want to debunk that before everybody came in thinking they're going to have have one. Oh, his numbers are low.
Speaker A
My numbers are going to be great. So, we're going to work. So, don't even worry about the numbers. We're going to work because it doesn't matter. All that matters is putting out content and build builds so that way I can get paid
Speaker A
eventually. Um, how about your channel? What are you doing on your channel right now? Um, you know, I'm just doing some uh eating challenges. Yeah, I'm doing it here and there like, you know, just for fun mainly if y'all want to check it
Speaker A
out. Nab eat world. There you go. Nab eat world. So, uh, to wrap up the gig to wrap up the gig work, uh, topics, I want to get into the no D N D N D N D N D N D N D N D N D N D
Speaker A
Nolan Wells, how you know, and maybe she can come up how to, you know, for the most part people are trying to make it a race issue instead of a innocent kid as far as I'm hoping that he was innocent
Speaker A
and he made he made a mistake, got drunk, something could have happened. I'm hoping that, you know, it's not more to it that, you know, I'm hoping that we're not back to the days of them taking out, you know, black people um
Speaker A
randomly. I hope we're not back to that those days. That's scary. You know, that's scary if we're back to like worrying about lynching and all of that.
Speaker A
You know, this be compared to EMTT Hill. But let's get back to the gig gig work video. So, or gig topic. So with that said, I want you to understand on that is that like what's different for me now
Speaker A
and uh before is um I think before I was so delusional. You know how like you kind of still are a little bit with big work. No, this is no disrespect, but you know how you in your head, you know, you think you can do
Speaker A
this until they just shut the apps off. You don't think that you need to move on. That's how I used to be, which is why I used to fight with a lot of people that came on my my panel and came on my
Speaker A
channel because they were telling me something I already knew. But instead of me just being a real person telling them, I know this is bad because in reality it's a setback. I know, but I don't care. I would fight the power
Speaker A
because I was embarrassed. You know, now let's be real. I am embarrassed that I'm doing a gig app because you know when I see a parent at first it used to be embarrassing like if I go to my son's
Speaker A
game they say what do you do for a living because my son's so great at basketball with you know between my training and me putting him in the right space and me you know money I'm spending to get him in in good training you know
Speaker A
they wonder what are you doing for a living and you can afford all this and it's kind of embarrassing to say I'm a gig worker because you know most gig workers are broke if they ask, "Oh, you make good money per year." You can't
Speaker A
tell them what you really make. You making like 30,000 35,000 a year. You know, the issue with that question, though, is when someone says, "What do you do for a living?" Whatever answer you say, they're going to, you know,
Speaker A
base their respect on you. So, it's kind of a [ __ ] up question. Anyways, but no one is above criticism, you know. Do you do you ask them what do they do for a living?
Speaker A
Yeah, if you ask them, they might say I'm I'm, you know, an engineer. Like the one got dad, he's an engineer. um the chemical engineered and you have um you know the one mom is a a principal. You
Speaker A
have another one who's a real estate broker. He has like million-dollar homes. Dude, these people are winning.
Speaker A
Where I'm around, where I'm at, people are winning. Gig workers. We're not winning. That's the point. We allowed these apps to make us feel like we're winning in life, but you're not winning.
Speaker A
You're cooked. You know, that's like that's like the YouTube channel, for example. You know, the reason why my channel died truly was because I wasn't winning. Like, I'm literally sitting around doing gig work all day. You know, people trying to get me to stop because
Speaker A
I'm like, you know, just wasting my life away and I wouldn't listen. Um, on top of that, you know, people didn't understand the sports betting. I'm bringing the sports betting to a bunch of people that don't know sports betting. Then on top of
Speaker A
that, I'm bringing like nonwebish topics to people such as, you know, getting chicks that are actually attractive, you know, talking about owning stuff which most men, normal men want to own a nice car and a house and everything. So, I was bringing a lot of
Speaker A
attention to things that, you know, my audience could not relate to because my audience are um for the most part, we're just dweebs. I mean, think about it. I'm not going to own no home no time soon, you know. I'm not owning no home. Are
Speaker A
you going to own a home now? So, um Well, yeah. Yeah, I am. Yeah, you're going to own a home. That's bad. Like, for example, I just put $74 in my gas tank. Most gig workers can't afford to do that because they're going
Speaker A
to say, "Oh my god, you're driving an SUV. That's stupid to do gig work in." No, I'm making more money with the SUV, which is why my my per hour rate is more and plus I'm comfortable. I can fit a
Speaker A
lot of people in the car, my kids. But that's the point though. You see how like what worked for me might not work for the next man. So with you, with that said, with me, I mean, do you feel any
Speaker A
type of embarrassment when you're just out here doing gig work and you know, you got people looking at you like this dude's dusty?
Speaker A
I mean, the thing is though, like if I walk into a restaurant, they're like, "Oh, broke ass Door Dasher." I can say broke ass restaurant worker. I mean, we can just go back and forth. Neither one of us is Bill Gates. So, it's kind of a
Speaker A
pointless argument. No, but this the thing though. You see, you're you keep you see that's what I what that's good that you're doing that.
Speaker A
You're relating yourself. You're relating yourself to the worst of of workers. Meaning like not if you're not relating yourself to people that you gonna see in your real life like your family. Like when you say your family that's for example. So, you wouldn't say
Speaker A
if my family said that, like me personally, I wouldn't say if my cousin who's a lawyer asked me what do I do because I know that she's going to literally she got me and it's like she sees more from me. So, I'm going to like
Speaker A
try to act like I'm doing something extravagant. You know the reason why? Let's be real about something that let's be real. Call me out for this. that you know the reason why um you know the reason why and by the way I'm going to
Speaker A
answer the question even though because he's not on the the block list. I put 37 or 74 whatever I showed y'all in gas in my car but this is going to last me two straight days. So that means that I'm
Speaker A
going to make for for the most part I'm going to make $200 the next two days and I put in $34 in gas and it's going to take me about nine eight to n hours to make $200. So, that means I'm going to
Speaker A
make the equivalent of $20 an hour as I told y'all in the last 10 videos. But, let's think about this now.
Speaker A
When I say I'm doing it for my son, blah blah blah. No, cuz if it was up to me, I wouldn't be doing this because of my son. I can I can do basketball training.
Speaker A
I can do um the coaching. I can do the um I can do the um leagues, you know, I can plan events. There's stuff I can do.
Speaker A
But the issue is I've been lazy because of the fact I'm sitting around, you know, sports betting and doing all the other stuff that causes me to just sit down and just use my brain, but I don't know how to go in and say, "Okay, I'm
Speaker A
working these six hours on the sports book. I'm done after 6 hours." No, I just do it all day. and I make good money, but the long run I make the same doing that as I make doing lift because
Speaker A
of the fact I'm only making like $2 $300 a day on average. So, [clears throat] with that said, me hoping by saying this is allows me to be around my son. No, I can go get a lawnmower and cut grass and
Speaker A
make more than I do this. you know, I can I can make way more um you know, uh and by the way, I'm gonna only This guy's actually on my list of not mentioning his name. I'm going to
Speaker A
I'm going to address one thing again. My car insurance is only $84 and my car note is $0. I own a car. So all those magical fantasy expenses y'all going to come up with, you might as well not do
Speaker A
that because it doesn't matter because I own a car. All we pay for is gas and car insurance. That's it. That's our expenses right there. So that with that said, would you say you sometimes cope by like saying you do it for some reason
Speaker A
other than we're just lazy and we just know this is easy? But it's not about that. I think it's it's about control. Like with a 9 to5, I mean, I'm not saying a 9 to5 is bad, but you have to accept that there's going to
Speaker A
be someone that tells you when to wake up, when to go to sleep, what to wear, what when to eat food. You have to ask permission to go to the bathroom. This is the life of a 9 to5, and that's fine
Speaker A
cuz it comes with good stuff, too. Everything is give and take in life. You know how to cut grass?
Speaker A
Uh, well, yeah. Yeah. So, why wouldn't you just get some flyers? I can make you a flyer. Why wouldn't you just go buy a lawnmower?
Speaker A
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can borrow uh $500 to buy buy a couple buy a lawnmower, a weed whacker, some a trash can. And why can't you just put that in your car and go cut grass? I'm pretty
Speaker A
sure you get five grasses cut. Same exact thing, but you make double what you would make with lift every day. You can go cut five yards.
Speaker A
If I was going to do that, I would probably join a landscaping company. I don't Is it that easy?
Speaker A
No, you don't have to do that. You just said you don't want a boss. So, why not just put a lawnmower in the car and just go put flyers at all the neighbors yards and just tell I would wait for them to call me, right?
Speaker A
Yeah. Or you just take the initiative and just go door to door and say, "Hey, I can catch your grass. I'll give you a discount 50 bucks." And you got to remember, you know, um lawn care um lawn
Speaker A
care workers, they do about you make about $30, $40 an hour. It's hard work, but you can charge people up to like if it takes you an hour to cut a grass, you can charge them $50, $60 for that grass
Speaker A
to be cut. I mean, that's not a bad idea at all. I mean, I don't know why I'm I'm not doing it. I guess it's a great idea.
Speaker A
It's the laziness. We know right now that we [clears throat] can um we know right now that we can sit here and get in the car and just grind this out. And that's what I mean by laziness, which is why, you
Speaker A
know, I'm going back to my psychiatrist to get back on my medication so I can go back to that initiative. Cuz when I was in Vegas, I was making money. I was grinding like and doing YouTube. And I
Speaker A
had I had like three different things I was doing at the same time. Sports betting, Lyft, and I was doing YouTube at a high level to where I was making a,000 a month at least. And I was killing it. My rent was 2,000 a month.
Speaker A
But then when I left and got off my medication, it's been down here to where I make excuses up.
Speaker A
And that's what I'm getting at. You know, I think a lot of gig workers make excuses for being um failures because in reality, we're all failures. We're all dweebs that just don't want more for ourselves because um we don't have
Speaker A
anybody telling us you old freaking gooner like go freaking mop the freaking kitchen floor, you know? We're not we don't have nobody making us do something we don't want to do right now. So, it got us [clears throat] comfortable.
Speaker A
You right. I might not be right. I might not be right though. Let's be real now. I mean, let me give a little go and give some retort. I know you got a lot to say, but you know,
Speaker A
let's No old bar. Go ahead. What do you think? I mean, is it kind of like just hands in the air?
Speaker A
Well, these people uh they don't know I got anything else going on. They think I just do gig work full-time. I do have other stuff, but if gig work was all I was doing, yeah, it would be stressful.
Speaker A
That was something in my life where it was my only job. But I [snorts] I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't recommend anyone else do it. But I get it. It's autonomy as a grown man or probably a grown woman, too. You would like to
Speaker A
control your day. You want to wake up when you want to wake up. Go to sleep when you want to go to sleep. It's It's not hard to understand the allure of it, right? But it's not good for full-time
Speaker A
work though. Yeah. Let me let me I got to I got to turn this I got to turn my ringer off.
Speaker A
Somebody keeps trying to call uh my phone. I know who it is. more than likely, but we're going to just turn the phone, ring her off. So, I don't even use this phone. I don't even use this phone. So, phone off. So, you can't no
Speaker A
point now. I mean, you know, it's over. But yeah, I mean, so, so with that said, um, shout out to Boy Wonder. So, today I'm going to show my numbers for today.
Speaker A
So, for today, mind you, I got up at at 7 7:30. I ate went to pick up my son up the street at the basketball for um at the weightlifting training at 8:30 or 9:30, I'm sorry. Um went take him to get
Speaker A
their meal, him and the trainer. And then I took him home and I got um at 10:30. I had to make a phone call about the Youngsttown business. And then I turned to Apporn at about noon, I think
Speaker A
around noon. And I made today, this is it today, $111.16, uh, $3140 per booked hour, but I had I've been on the clock for 4 hours and 49 minutes. Now, keep in mind that an hour and like 20 minutes of that was me
Speaker A
sitting around waiting for rides because I once again the laziness, I didn't want to drive.
Speaker A
I didn't want to drive to um go get rides because I figured I'm not going to waste gas. So, I just sat there because I don't have nothing better to do because my goal is 200 and I'm going to
Speaker A
make the other n other you know 80 um 8 what 88 84 I'm going to make that when I get done with my um game uh that I'm headed to right now. So, like once again, it's all for a purpose. And with Lyft
Speaker A
changing this, this is why I even considered this because Lyft offers now 31 or they're offering they tell you how much they tell you how much you make per ride per hour. Now, before they used to just you just have to go, you know, just
Speaker A
just, you know, just hope for God that you weren't taking a bad ride. Now, they actually tell you you're going to make this much in this amount of time with this ride. So, you're going to make $15, which is about, say, $32 an hour. So, I
Speaker A
know it's busy later in the day. But now that I got my motivation back, I'm thinking to myself when I got to Kylie and I was like just filling it. When I left, I'm like, there's no reason for me
Speaker A
not to work every day again. I'm like, why did I stop? I'm like, why did I stop? Like, now think about it. I was working every single day before I started doing YouTube. I was working every single day. I was happy. I wasn't
Speaker A
um sad. I wasn't stressed out. I just made a video that went viral, but I was literally good. It went bad when I started trying to not work every day to like appease um we're not going to add that
Speaker A
individual. I'm going to block that individual banned from studio. Oh crap, I got to require login. I'm just going to boot him. But um but yeah, back to the point.
Speaker A
I right now I'm at the point that I can work 12 hours. I'm back. I'm all the way back. This you see.
Speaker A
Oh yes, Dennis. What's up? What's up? What's up? Just jumping back in. Just wanted to Yep.
Speaker A
But yeah, I'm all the way back. But let me let me let's let's go back into I want you to be the voice of difference of what I'm saying right now. Let's be real because now this is Dennis talking.
Speaker A
This ain't the Amaz hustler. This ain't, you know, this this is Dennis. I was coping when I was say, you know, I'm doing this so I can have time with my son and, you know, take driving around. I can do I can cut grass, but I
Speaker A
got this big I can cut grass. I can like freaking go and and get a hitch and I can like like do trash removal. I can do like tires like tech tires to to jump.
Speaker A
You know, there's things I can do to make money outside of doing gig work.
Speaker A
But I'm doing gig work because it's a cope for me right now. It's a cope until I get the laziness off my back. Because you remember when I started trying to do something other than gig work, I was
Speaker A
trying to do stuff that would still take 10 hours of time, but I'm guaranteed to make the same amount. But I lost that when I went and I started trying to make the easy money and I started trying to
Speaker A
do it a limited time so I have time to do other stuff that wasn't about making money. So what do you say that I'm literally just with lift in my sense I try to I'm coping or do you think I I
Speaker A
just like doing lift? What do you think? Well, me I think that lift and like really the gig the gig tube or gig work to be honest is going to sound weird but I think it's just made for you because
Speaker A
you're a part-time entertainer and this what people don't realize like they look at you making like $20 an hour doing Uber and lift but what they're not seeing is the super chats ad revenue. So you're really making more than a gig
Speaker A
worker. So, it's like when you factor it that way, like like one of your like your best memorable streams was you gig working, cussing, or like getting frustrated with the customers that brought in super chats, engagement, and that's what you're
Speaker A
really known for. So, it's like if you you you also got to factor that in there that like yeah, you're making $20 an hour, but when you're over there talking about kitty litter or like trying to find a slim gym inside of a store,
Speaker A
somebody sends a $20 super chat cash app, you got to add that to the to the day total. So, it's like get yourself Yeah, I had a couple of those.
Speaker A
So, what I'm trying to say is you got to look at it as you're not a gig worker, you're an entertainer that does gig work. If you think it like that, like it's kind of like it's it's gonna be a
Speaker A
little bit off topic. It's like when you have like like a like a like a bipolar serial killer, you have a serial killer that's bipolar.
Speaker A
The bipolar didn't do the killing. The person did the killing. So, it's like you are an entertainer that's doing gig worker. So, you're really flexible. So, you're an entertainer that does basketball training. You're an entertainer that does real estate.
Speaker A
You're not a real estate agent that does entertainment. So, it's like look at it like that.
Speaker A
Yeah, there there's a guy I'm pretty sure now if you know this guy. Two different guys. You got Anatoli who bodybuilds for a living and he uses his his love for weightlifting to have a career and become a millionaire. Then
Speaker A
you have a guy that cuts [clears throat] grass and he loves cutting grass. Like it's it's he gets he gets a heart on if he sees a yard that's like freaking horrible. Like trash all over the place, a elderly woman walking outside, can't
Speaker A
get to her car. He gets a heart on. He's like, "Hey, can I cut your grass for free?" He makes hundreds of thousands of dollars off of um YouTube streams and donations and all that. That's kind of what people what I try to do with Lift.
Speaker A
The only difference what I would say is that I um lack effort. So, I'm lazy. So, what what I mean by being by saying I'm lazy is that I should be doing Door Dash. Um, I should be doing apps that
Speaker A
allow me to do YouTube at the same time, but instead I'm doing Lyft, which I can't do YouTube at the same time because it takes, you know, I can't be on camera. So, I think that um I got to
Speaker A
just once I get my medication, hopefully I have it on like Friday cuz I got Thursday appointment. I'll have that motivation back to where I'll be able to like wake up early like I used to 6:00 a.m. and I used to work 12 straight
Speaker A
hours. I would get done at like 10 o'clock and then on the weekends, you remember I used to try to do like 16 hour streams. I used to do 24 hour streams sometime.
Speaker A
So, I think we're gonna get back to that. Let me make this one statement. I want to go into Nolan Wales u before I walk in this gym. I got like 15 more minutes and I got to go um I got my game
Speaker A
start 7:30. So, um, for those that are so eager and thirsty, the same way Kendrick tried to disrespect Drake and get him cancelled out of here, Drake will never forgive Kendrick Lamar. It's it's it's it's death until whatever. No
Speaker A
money can take that away. You tried to ruin that man's career. Guys, I will never forgive these people because they're just, you know, say 10 out of what? How many billions of people in this world? like I don't need any of
Speaker A
their attention. I don't need any of their help. I don't need any of their conversation. So, with that said, as much as y'all keep trying, keep super chatting and donating. There's nothing that's going to get me to talk to any of
Speaker A
y'all again. So, y'all might as well, and this is going to be the only time I address this again, might as well go back to the other channel and have meetings or whatever you want to call whatever that is, but you're not never
Speaker A
being acknowledged on this channel again. I'm letting you in the chat because you're helping my my um engagement for YouTube start pushing me again. But I'm never letting you on my panel. I'm never talking to you guys again and I'm never letting you guys
Speaker A
back in my life. And keep in mind, by the way, that my numbers aren't because of you guys because yesterday before you guys even knew I unblocked y'all, I was at 40 people. And on top of that, you do
Speaker A
realize these are if these are numbers you're taking credit for, you can have my YouTube channel because this is trash. I don't want to be talking to 35 people. This is embarrassing. Okay. I want to be talking to hundreds of people
Speaker A
and I told y'all that years ago. 35 is good for y'all. Yeah, that's Oh my god. 35 people care about me. Guys, this is embarrassing. I do it because I know it's part of the game. You got to talk
Speaker A
to 20 people, 30 people. I appreciate the 39 of y'all here right now. But guys, the number is going to dip back down to 20 cuz most of y'all don't want to hear about gig work. You guys just
Speaker A
happy that this is borderline cooking a little bit. But we're not doing this. We're going to be talking about gig work on this channel and I'm going be talking about some topics here and there and it's going to really just be Nab and ski
Speaker A
because they were rocking with me before the hate and after the hate on this panel. Now keep in mind I'm not doing panels. I'm just doing conversations.
Speaker A
Now I'm going to allow people who disagree to come on but you got to disagree and it got to be a respectful disagree. We're not doing trolling.
Speaker A
We're not doing hate. Dennis. Yeah. Go for it. These these people don't hate you, man.
Speaker A
They love you. Look at this. They done lined up. came all up in here to time out their day. These are your fans.
Speaker A
Yep. There you go. I But here's the thing, though. That can all be true. But once again, when I was down, my mental health was at all time high. Alltime low. Um, I was trying to cope. You know,
Speaker A
you know what's crazy? I'll be real. I'm being, you know, I'll be real cuz I don't care no more. Most of the stuff y'all was saying was right. I was a degenerate sports better because all I wanted to do was sports back to run up a
Speaker A
bag and I was running up a big bag. But I was making money doing it. I wasn't like losing money. I was just running up a bag and I just would I wouldn't stop.
Speaker A
So I'm sitting there at my son's game sports betting because I was making so much money. He was happy because he got whatever he wanted. So you got that. You got the gig work. Yes. This is embarrassing. This is absolutely
Speaker A
embarrassing for me to be a gig worker. Who wants to be known as a gig? My son's always now that he's up there cooking.
Speaker A
I don't think it's embarrassing. I don't think it's embarrassing. No, it's embarrassing. It's It's a My son My son.
Speaker A
You're You're not a gig worker. You're an entertainer. Like once again, like you got I mean unless you want to show people that you're entertainment side, but you're an entertainer that does gig working. Like you're like like once
Speaker A
again like what you did at Go proves that. What you did with this channel proved that. Even the building, even even your real estate ventures, you're an entertainer.
Speaker A
So you're not a gig worker. You see Nab Nab, he's he he's he's a he's an inbetweener, but a gig worker.
Speaker A
I have other stuff that I do. I just don't speak on it on here.
Speaker A
But so like it's like Sam Lee gig worker cuz he has a small pee pee. The more gig work hours you do, the smaller your pee pe.
Speaker A
So like once again, you're not a gig worker. Well Well, keep keep in mind keep in mind that you know, so You know, this is the reason why I say it's embarrassing because my son, he knows I do this, of course, but I used
Speaker A
to be entertainer. That's the point. When I used to be on my medication, I was before I tried to be popular guy.
Speaker A
Um, I was entertainer, but then I became um a guy that was desperate, you know, desperate for money and fame because, you know, I'll be real, me trying to act like I didn't need this money made it bad for me. And you got to keep in mind
Speaker A
now I can make light of everything. Like for example, Ski u I'm not going to say it on here now and I can't put it in the chat because people can pop up on the chat. I'm assuming they see the message,
Speaker A
but you won't believe how much I got the building for, for example. No, no, I just want No, I just want to No, I just want to say you won't believe I'm not going to say how much, but you
Speaker A
won't believe. And the thing is that's going to be a whole another video when the building is gone, everything's that's going to be a video on it own.
Speaker A
People are going to be like, "Oh my god, this is craziness. This dude is just great." I met See, today I met a pro black. Like I think he's Muslim. Um Muslim. Um no offense in that, but just
Speaker A
he's Muslim. He got the same chat. Yeah. I think he's a great guy. He's better than No, he's they're good. Both good levels, but he has a facility. It's like that facility on Fresh Prince, you know, the Black Pride, you know. And the thing is,
Speaker A
I come in like the square corporate guy and I'm trying to explain to him how we can, you know, help get the um, you know, the roof taken care of with like trying to crowd. No, not crowd, do events and stuff. No, they got
Speaker A
everything on. They've been doing this build. This building has been good for seven years. I just want to bring it to where they can really make stuff happen.
Speaker A
But what was that? Can I make a joke? Go ahead. Is it uh Dr. Umar? No, he's he's not that like blatantly ignorant, but he's he's he's a good guy.
Speaker A
He's a good guy. Umar is like he's pandering, you know. About to open. Let's get into the Nolan Wales. No, I ain't about to open. Let's get into Nolan Wells. I got 10 minutes before I go um in this this game because they
Speaker A
told you he told me you want to make sure I get all the rebounds, all that.
Speaker A
So, let's go into um um Nolan Wales. I think that black folks are so thirsty for um white people to have done it that they're diluting the fact that um somebody who might have done it that might have not been white. We need to
Speaker A
figure out who did it period. But us focusing on just white people, it's allowing But it's allowing if it was a Asian person that did it or a Hispanic person that did it, it's allowing the person that really did it
Speaker A
to run away. It might have been a mixed person, but they're allowing them to did it though. How? Because think about it.
Speaker A
It happened at he he when they left on the boat, they left on the boat at 4:00.
Speaker A
There were hundreds of people hundred of boats around them with their boat sinking or not sinking but like taking in water. So my question to you is you're telling me that they knocked the kid upside his head and threw him over
Speaker A
the the boat while all these people and boats all around. There's thousands of people on this island. See, the black media, they know you you know one thing that they know who did it and you know that they're keeping their mouth shut about
Speaker A
it. Okay. So, what what evidence do you have that they did it other than black people telling you they did it?
Speaker A
I I heard the call and then them saying in the background his name. No, if you listen to the real call with all the context, the whole full call is on TMZ. They just released it. Um you'll see that um they hid most of the call
Speaker A
which would make sense on why because it explains that they were panicking that their boat was taken in water.
Speaker A
So So Dennis, do you agree that he was murdered? Uh I don't know. That's the point. Like we're assuming that because there was white people around when there was thousands of people and there was more than one black person there. But we I
Speaker A
thought that he was because y'all had me thinking he was the only black person.
Speaker A
Y'all had me thinking it was only dozens of people um in on the island. Y'all had me thinking there was one white girl there. Y'all had me thinking it was only one boat. Dude, there was hundreds of boats. You can see the picture from that
Speaker A
day. They're hunty. We didn't have you think like that at all. But at the end of the day, they know something. And why would you The only time you leave a person behind is if it's a dead body.
Speaker A
No, think about it. They left that Where was his body found? Yeah. Where was his body found? on the island or not on the island, but in the water right outside the island, I think in like 31 feet of water.
Speaker A
So, nobody saw So, we should assume no one saw him drown because they would, you know, alert somebody, right?
Speaker A
No, it ain't that they didn't see him drown. What what we're getting at is the four people that they're trying to say did it were there when he went missing because when they called for help, he was still on the island. like three
Speaker A
witnesses that have nothing to do with anything that were just there saw him as the the boat that his phone was on was taken in water and they were getting told to shore which they end up then getting it told um to the dock after. So
Speaker A
the whole point is they weren't like they were already gone before he came up missing and they're trying to tie to these kids. So unless the kids went back to the island that night with that same boat, it ain't happen that way.
Speaker A
So, real quick is Wash Hoops. Should we make him off? I don't think he was that bad.
Speaker A
I don't know what he said in the channel. Do you think he's cool? I don't know.
Speaker A
I I don't know who Wash Hoops is. But did he come up one time?
Speaker A
No, he's the guy that was being disrespectful, but I don't think he was like trying to dox me or anything.
Speaker A
The one that like is it the guy that looks like Kanye West or the one that was telling you that he played ball?
Speaker A
The one that plays ball? I think I think he was pretty cool. I mean, I think Yeah, I think he was cool. Yeah, I think I think he was cool.
Speaker A
All right, so watch. Welcome back, Wash Troops. But that's the Okay, look. That evidence is this. This is the evidence, Ski. The evidence is this. He was he was his body was found in the water. That's the evidence.
Speaker A
Like once again, I don't like the best way to get away with murder is not saying anything at all.
Speaker A
But the kids didn't do that. They all started talking about the situation other than the one who had a lawyer. All the other ones have come out. They, you know, they actually offered the freaking idiot freaking I can't I forgot his
Speaker A
name. You know that idiot guy that jumped on all the civil cases. Um why would it be a civil case? This is what I mean by the parents being grifters.
Speaker A
Okay? Like only in our community do we as soon as our kid life get taken in some way, we run to the money right away. Like we got a dead kid. Like I I remember my cousin died like like 10
Speaker A
years ago. Nobody ran to the money. Like you don't run you you find out what happened to your kid.
Speaker A
So there was no money to get. But No, it was money to get. I'm not going to talk about the case, but it was money to get. But the thing is like we run to try to get justice. We don't care about
Speaker A
the money. But there was money to get. Then it's like why would they tell you? I mean what do you No, but they got the money from the people though. Not from the pe not from the people that they think did it. They
Speaker A
got money from from from grifting for acting like white people did it cuz guess what? If if they said Lil Pooky did it like Lil Pooky was on the island and they were fighting each other then he would get no money. Like the parents
Speaker A
would get no money. Nobody would care. That lawyer would not be nowhere to be found.
Speaker A
It's not about the money though. It's just the whole aspect of it needs to be investigated and you just go you don't go with any Joe Smoke. This needs to be investigated. So who would you go to?
Speaker A
You're saying like they're money hungry, but it's like would you just take anyone? This man is offering to take your case and he's take these type of cases. So you going so why don't you call the Jewish man money hungry when he
Speaker A
says oh oh like hit me up, hit me up, hit me up. They just went with the best person. They got hit up with probably tons of offers with tons of different lawyers. So why would you choose the
Speaker A
worst person? Why would you not choose a person that you know? Like if you're on the basketball team and you're like, "Okay, I could choose Michael Jordan." Does that make you like money hungry?
Speaker A
Could you choose Michael Jordan? Does that make you a sucky player? No. No. See, now it's context to it. Do you know who um Do you know who the coach What was the coach of the Chicago Bulls? I mean, he was f Tibid though.
Speaker A
You know who Tibido is, right? I know I'm saying his name wrong. I don't I don't I don't know anything about sports. I just know Phil Jackson.
Speaker A
Okay. Well, coach Coach Tibido, he was all about defense, okay? Like he made the players he ran the players. He's known from running the players into the ground with defense to where you you have to play defense for freaking the
Speaker A
whole game or you're benched. Okay, imagine Kobe like the team the franchise going and getting him to coach the Lakers. It wouldn't be a good fit. Okay, the problem it was your situation is they would have got a civil uh rights
Speaker A
attorney and not a criminal prosecutor, not a criminal. But there's no crime that has been committed yet. There's just been That's the point. Why would you have a civil rights attorney and not a freaking criminal attorney that would look to
Speaker A
investigate the crime? They don't even want to talk to the kids. Why wouldn't you talk to the kids?
Speaker A
Because the kids are liars, dude. You got to catch them while they're fresh. Catch them in lies.
Speaker A
That's the point. No, where are they now? They're with Brandon Tatum and Brandon Tatum is using them for his own gains and and his way to get better in the white with the white community. So, all I got to say is you can't blame them for
Speaker A
getting a lore that that is known. I think you're talking about Corey Booker or something or is it Corey Booker?
Speaker A
No, no, it's I forgot the dude. He's like freaking he's like I hate the dude.
Speaker A
I just hate the dude. He literally it's like whenever a white person like like does something to black folk, okay, he runs to that. But whenever like black kids get hurt by gang members who got money, they don't nowhere to be found.
Speaker A
Like that one like you know the cis chick that got executed by the David dude who's not even a not even a freaking gang banger. But think about how long that dude was was taking advantage, please don't say the nasty
Speaker A
word, but taking advantage of a freaking 12-year-old girl and because ultimately because he's black, he got away with it for all these years until he took her life and her body sat in a car for months and he literally was out living
Speaker A
his best life. He decided to turn himself in eventually because he So, you're not going to you're not going to applaud him for that? For turning himself in?
Speaker A
No, actually didn't turn himself in. They came to get him. He was just at home. He actually didn't run. And I would have I if I was him, not saying I'm him, but I would have ran to a
Speaker A
different country. He's going he's probably going to get the he's got multiple life sentences. He's done. He's cooked. There's no way out of that. But here's the point, okay? He got away with it that long and he could have jumped
Speaker A
and ran to a different country and just hid. He had enough money to do it. He already switched over to What country What country would he go to, Dennis? You're not being realistic here.
Speaker A
Okay, think about this, Ski. He's famous, but he's black famous. Or, you know, a lot of people know him. He's white famous, but he's black guy being famous. He could literally change his ident. He could live like a Dude, you
Speaker A
realize he can live in a hood. He can go to freaking Brazil and live in a hood. Nobody's going to know it's him.
Speaker A
Dennis, this world is antilack. White supremacy is a global tool. So, you run into a country, they're just going to turn you in. They're going to extradite you. You're not worth it, man.
Speaker A
No, but there are certain countries that don't extradite. It doesn't matter. the US. Just like how just what they did to Argentina man and they arrested him in a Nike tech. They going to get this man in a in a in
Speaker A
[clears throat] a Nike tech too. Ski, you do realize that you know why Russell Simmons jumped shipped and went to a different country?
Speaker A
Where Simmons now? I don't know what country I think. Yeah, Bali somewhere. Yeah. Like he got crimes under his belt. Like you realize that um you realize Ella Degenerous I think they said she went to a different country.
Speaker A
Yeah. They was coming after him and then Ella Degenerous she's about to get in trouble. Like it's a lot of these people with the Epstein files that jumped and went to a different country because that's for them to stay out of
Speaker A
it. You know there's but but like once again like he's getting life though. Wouldn't you take a chance? Think about it. Dude, he's never getting out of jail. He's done. He literally got text messages of him having relations with this little
Speaker A
girl in his phone. But if you're if you're black and you go to Brazil, you're you're going to a hood. Like you don't realize he he didn't make enough money to live well for the rest of his life.
Speaker A
So either way either way he's going to get a life sentence. He's talking about David.
Speaker A
No, but his life but here's the thing. Oh yeah. His house is worth like $2 million and he still had he had in assets and everything. He was worth $11 million.
Speaker A
Yeah, but that's going to run out. Especially when you're in Brazil when they going to like you don't speak Portuguese and they It's like that money going to run out, man. Like you might as well just use it for legal defense and
Speaker A
commentary. He's He's done it before, ain't he? You're going to be done no matter where you go in this world. I mean, he what the whole thing is what happens like Dennis if he's like a psychopath and he
Speaker A
does it again in Brazil, you're going to get the death penalty for sure. So So I think he's a psychopath.
Speaker A
By the way, let me let me let me say this. I got to get off here now. I'm about to walk in this game. But before you go though, let me say this. This is how um if I do the channel um the if I
Speaker A
do this conversation, ain't going to be a panel. It's a conversation. This is how it's going to be. All three of us interacting, engaging, and talking.
Speaker A
Understand just so the chat will know. Once again, new rules in this channel. We're I'm talking about gig work mainly, but then I'm going to go on to different topics so I can stretch out a live stream if I decide to go three hours.
Speaker A
But with that said, all the people in the chat that I'm allowing to exist for engagement, nothing that you guys are saying is going to change anything. I'm going to talk about whatever I want to talk about because I'm not catering to
Speaker A
you guys. Otherwise, I would be stuck in a freaking low IQ like bottom feeder level of YouTube. I'm talking to the people that actually and I'll give Wash Truth. I think Wash Truths would be good with this conversation. I think that
Speaker A
Jerome would be Pete even though he disagrees with everything. I think he'll be good for this conversation. I want to talk to people who are actually smart that won't be embarrassed to come on my channel and talk because this channel
Speaker A
ain't going to be about that no more. I might not be right. Here's the thing, guys. If those four white kids ended the life of this guy of this kid, then I want them to be prosecuted. But what I
Speaker A
don't like is that we are forcing it to be white people who did it and it's causing us to go on deaf ears because we're making everything racist. I just think that we got to go to a point of
Speaker A
let's figure out who did it. It might be a black guy, it could be an Asian guy, could be anything. Just like if a white person, you know, gets their life ended by a black person that might be there.
Speaker A
Who knows if that black person that black person might have like ran to try to save them and then now he's calling 911 to save them and they think he did it because he's black and he's there. So
Speaker A
I'm saying we can't have both ways cuz if I'm next to a guy and he's bleeding out because some white guys tried to rob him some methheads and they shot him then I'm not going to leave him hanging.
Speaker A
I'm going to be there but I'm going be scared that they might think that I did something.
Speaker A
N man it was it's a white guy man. Like I know you want to like be fair and objective but you don't know how he died though. What if he what if they're saying that he might have choked on his own throw up?
Speaker A
There's all kinds of ways he could have like it could have happened on his own.
Speaker A
So what if that comes out? What what happens now? The whole thing is I know what they're doing. They're feeding you lies so then you can spread it like Paris Hilton's legs.
Speaker A
You know, you know Michael Jackson life was taken by white people, but black man did it. And you realize that they let the black doctor do it because they knew black people would say, "Okay, he ain't tried to take out Michael Jackson. It
Speaker A
was accident." But if it was a white doctor that did it, they would have been at his neck. You see how stupid we are?
Speaker A
Like this black guy did. Nothing to see here. But there's really white people that did it.
Speaker A
Pilot Kobe Bryant Pilot is white and he took him out. That was on purpose.
Speaker A
No, but here No, but seriously, think about this. He took himself out, too, though.
Speaker A
No, no, no, just that was a joke. But here's that was a joke. But here's the thing. Just think about this though. Uh, Michael Jackson, if Michael Jackson, um, if a white guy did it, we would have tried to get answers. But because the
Speaker A
black guy did it, we just act like nothing to see here. But in reality, Conrad Murray, whatever his stupid name is, he took Michael Jackson's life because the day before it happened, Michael Jackson asked the security guy that retired to reach out to his dad
Speaker A
because he said, "These people are trying to in my tech like trying to kill me because they forced him to have their security for that whole concert and he couldn't get rid of them." So, he literally reached out.
Speaker A
I don't think he killed him. No, but here's the thing. He he now he might not done it but he took the blame for it because he said he was the last one to be there with Michael Jackson
Speaker A
breathing. He took the blame for it cuz he knew no react no backlash. I'll be out in two years with a big bag. You see he doesn't practice no more and he's living his best life ever.
Speaker A
He does. They took away his license but he still sees clients. Yeah. But I'm saying he's multi-millionaire. He got paid for that.
Speaker A
He didn't have to pay he didn't have to pay that state or nothing. It was malpractice. He didn't have to pay nothing.
Speaker A
They wanted Michael Jackson gone because Michael Jackson was going to walk away with the biggest bag ever from Sony. And he literally b he literally said, "Can you tell my dad to come here as soon as possible?" And the next day he ends up
Speaker A
the next morning he ends up done or that night he ended up dead. Want I'm want you going cuz you're playing. I'm Yeah. Yeah. I got to go for I got to go to my game. My game starts in 14
Speaker A
minutes. I appreciate y'all for tuning in. Um, I appreciate you, Nav, and Ski, for coming on here, uh, having this, um, you know, fun. This fun conversation. I want to do more of these, but, um, shout out to Big Black. I'm not going to do,
Speaker A
um, the I'm probably not going to do three hours no time soon. I'm going to keep it at this happy like hour long stream. I think it gives more value overall to do like the hourlong stream instead of doing the, you know, the 4
Speaker A
hour streams. But eventually we might try to get to a point of doing, you know, 24-hour streams and, you know, doing, you know, all of that because I might turn this into IRL. If if if I get through these next two these next two,
Speaker A
it's going to be tough for me cuz I got a I got a goal and if I hit this goal, then I'm going to try to switch to IRL streaming, which would be um appreciate that, watch hoops with the um with the
Speaker A
jewels. Um I'm not streaming no games, guys. I'll be roaching. Um, as Nav said before, I'm like I the sports betting is good, but the issue with sports betting is I get carried away and I do it a
Speaker A
little bit too long. I get carried away. So, I'm trying to I rather make money doing this. I rather get paid. I rather make good money. Appreciate that. Watch and the makeup brush. I rather get paid and make good money doing streaming.
Speaker A
What's going on? Um, doing streaming for 10 hours a day while doing some gig work and make the same amount of money. That makes sense. What's going on? Thanks.
Speaker A
So, that's kind of what I prefer. So, um, that's what we're going to have.
Speaker A
But look, I got to go, guys. I appreciate y'all going on my appreciate y'all for tuning in. Um, I'll see y'all soon. We about to go and get this game in. And I got to go back to work. We're
Speaker A
putting in 12 hours a day for now. No, I'm not going to stream my game because I forgot my tripod. Hey, what's going on? I'm How you doing? I forgot my tripod and I want to focus cuz every
Speaker A
time I stream I play bad for some reason. I don't know why, but I'll talk to y'all shortly. I appreciate y'all tuning in. I'm out. Peace. And and and thank you for all the Let me give a super chat shout out. Appreciate you.
Speaker A
Umbrella Trading Company Corporation Ski Be. Oh god, I didn't mean to say that name. Um America second. And I don't know if you be going crazy. Wash hoops.
