00:02:33| stand on that how I actually found a Wikipedia ninety one point nine percent of people have jobs really that's quite a lot actually uh-huh
00:02:45| even if that job is being a girlfriend being a boyfriend being a son a bitch a mother a child or a lover a sinner or a saint that's as far as I remember it Meredith something I thought it was a
00:03:03| lot more set but that would be absolutely I'll have to come back with a clarification or correction from this to that one from the last episode I'm the underdog episode I actually did
00:03:13| and I lost it everything on something that's a shit it's a damn shame it was something like the whole episode was wrong no it was it was right was glorious
00:03:25| it may even been about the miracle Mets in 1914 a lot of writings where people were very angry at me I hope that our mailing new letters and you're opening them up with a very delicate letter
00:03:39| opener only to find one already in the envelope competent blood a letter a letter opener in a letter an email a letter opener I guess you could be pretty cool at what point does that
00:03:54| become a knife some of them are crazy I don't my mind got dad had one that was like golden and looked like corn a pirate thing yeah that's too hard for me but it wasn't sharp I was like I know
00:04:11| you broke it Oh hand me down fighting what dragons all right pieces of wood someone named Mike he's probably bolt I don't doubt I figure he was let's get to the exciting topic of jobs
00:04:26| mmm talk about the beginning I stretching out my back to be honest we're really doing some kind of high school jobs if you have Twitter here my first job ever yeah um my dad worked at
00:04:46| a place we work now look it up hey they hunker we got all night American Eagle we own it um and I remember he didn't own it you just worked there he started work there when
00:05:01| he was 16 it was a piano place right they've repaired pianos her it's called burger or piano or something and my dad lived the block away and he was welcomed by and they're moving pianos and said
00:05:11| hey kid do you need a job help us move these pianos so they moved pianos I believe or helped move maybe it wasn't the pianos but help tear down the shop because they're moving everything out
00:05:22| cutter and then do guys who were moving in were two polish brothers and they were like hey good job moving stuff out do you want to absorb here it was like okay and he worked there and he's been
00:05:33| working there since that day who's his first job and his last job so far Wow a lot of people in America like that right now he owns it everything nail yet the the brothers actually let my dad the
00:05:45| money to buy his first house just straight up that's awesome right they charge him a little interest but was like 2% or something almost enough he couldn't have got that
00:05:54| from a bank right now especially at the time yeah so that's awesome but um anyway my dad's working areas old by the time I was like five or six or seven I can't remember he would work
00:06:07| half a day Saturday and like once a lot I would go in with him and just like carry gallons and stuff and put it on the shelf and he would pay me $5 every Saturday nice do you know what I would
00:06:18| do with that $5 if my dad was always really mad at me but I could tell he was trying to teach me a lesson but allowing me to have freedom and I didn't realize this till maybe this episode right now
00:06:27| PACA swisher Sweets really close and flare x-men cards is to buy x-men cards and they were five dollars a pack so after a full day of work me getting let palms all sweaty and
00:06:43| dirty and carrying 8 to 9 to 10 gallons for a whole day I don't want to show up I would go and buy x-men cards my dad would probably shake his head and go oh my god you always be like I just save it
00:06:56| saving money and I was like nope I need x-men card dad I need to know Wolverines gonna win and that was my first job $5 every Saturday so you need not every Lilly's a real big like do you have like
00:07:09| an allowance have anything that like your parents would constantly give you for chores or anything and that was five dollars a week and bogus I got five bucks a week for doing almost nothing
00:07:19| I'll just say I didn't just are anything okay okay it was like mmm that for now we'll do it for you Thanks thanks mom and dad the door I see that fiber but middle crest which what you do with your
00:07:39| fiber did you did you hold on to it oh yeah not so I heard this story you're going to waste it's part of my where I keep getting away so I get five bucks a week I save it I saved it till it was
00:07:52| like eight hundred something dollars and then I bought just stupid oh I knew it I knew it this came up a previous episode and drove me insane up to my boat especially
00:08:04| right as summer was coming right out of school hold on and then on top of that when you pop did a video game into your little linear systems you saved up for you
00:08:14| would play the game and save up all your money to the end of the level and buy up all the potions and extra swords and stuff so you were saving everywhere exactly I lived the game like I live my
00:08:24| life I'm sure lessly its I wouldn't like I'd like hit you know restart like I didn't say that penny I got to go restart to play through a nigga back there a throw
00:08:35| yeah plus I had like an old TV like a really really old TV and then a new TV so I could literally play both games at the same time you can you couldn't play both into the same Tunde I mean the
00:08:45| congenital you can hold the controllers huh in either hand Sega Genesis says all the buttons on like the one side I remember a bee say Iowa folks the dialogues you just hit ABC and
00:08:57| anything with the and yes if you'd gone through dialogues tweet was super any guess right so it was like XY a bid yeah yeah actually and l1 r1 can hear right yeah I wasn't a fan of action games
00:09:10| because I couldn't playable at the same time like I think we've already covered enough to give a lot of psychologists a lot of work today I got some problems yeah so do I um so middle class I don't
00:09:27| know right both of us I think yeah I'm middle class lower middle class I'm not middle middle class like tell me I'm strongly middle maybe a little up a little operate oh that's right okay okay
00:09:40| good oh no no it's a definition of opera middle classes it's probably not let's go by wicked deep I close it wouldn't go here it is okay maybe not oh between a hundred thousand and three hundred fifty
00:09:56| thousand so I mean it also it depends on the year to this changes year to year you might be looking at twenty eighteen definition you know what I'm saying this is yeah so it's gonna change your deep
00:10:07| let me in little girl bit then probably I don't know exactly how much my parents made but I bet it um it was in that range Oh Oh Dan I forget my dad told me what his paychecks were was it $75 a
00:10:22| week that's not very much well when he first was sixteen so put it in 1975 or something any like you should do not cost adjusted I I could be wrong it maybe it was 175
00:10:38| yeah no 75 ish tygo the value of $4,000 in 1979 it would be $15,000 a year and today's money it could be 16 year old oh no no I mean that they could be minimum wage minimum wage is like 755 federal I
00:10:58| think seven and a quarter seven recorder this is actually lower than you thought mmm so here hold on can you go I knew we brought it up we didn't actually answer the question what's your
00:11:11| first real job for sure the tax yeah like long times you get kids get working papers working pet we did yeah actually I don't know they still do that I have no idea
00:11:22| I think if you're under 16 until you won't be doing teeny-tiny he's under 18 probably 18 because I think I was 16 when I had the job and I had to get working papers I already had
00:11:32| a car so I must have been 16 at least so my first job my first job I was paid you have money for was running networking cable in an office building I don't for the entire job I got like three grand
00:11:45| and it was running like couple hundred lines so it was a really exhausting and it took like a month where did what did you actually do visit physically um did you have to use ladders and stuff to go
00:11:56| through the building and there's like a raised ceiling so it was like 12 maybe now what about when you got to a wall did you have to drill behind a wall and stuff or was there a hole there was
00:12:09| never a wall like this was completely good at there making a brand-new building okay interesting that was your guy that's exactly how I bought my first real computer because I
00:12:18| had that money and it went right into the computer do you know what you bought I'm really interested in this I know that sounds nerdy I have the case behind my desk but it hasn't an IBM or
00:12:29| something built it myself because that was how you can maximize how much money you could spend you build a computer at that age yeah yeah she used to be smarter what happened it drifts on
00:12:40| overtime boys and girls you better be an entrepreneur early in life because it's not gonna last no that's I didn't know that that's pretty badass I just felt my first
00:12:49| computer at 31 or something and I was scared the whole time I did it oh no I did I had weight and I had YouTube videos so how'd you do it I don't know actually I think I put it all together
00:13:01| because it it fits together a certain way and then when I turned it on I forgot something so it I was like just screaming at you like I got all sweaty nervous like this thing is gonna work
00:13:13| anymore I just I'm gonna kill myself but it was just the it was the thermal grease between the processor get pasted in all of the paste little thermal paste baby knows
00:13:25| immediately whether you're an amateur or not hmm so I worked at Freddy Hill Farms Oh I'm Emily free ice cream from Freddy he'll get your peanut peanuts or
00:13:46| sprinkles PS or sprinkles there did you say sprinkles okay down at the seam nuts yeah so the funny little joke we would play I made for 75 an hour during training which was two weeks long
00:14:01| that's Wow wait what hold on there's a reason I ever give this out no not at all and then it was five and a quarter hourly wait that was the minimum time the court said what surplus and the only
00:14:13| reason you can get away with 475 is if you call something a training period but what's crazy is your worker you're trained after like one session it was scooped a nice baby
00:14:24| it was always two weeks you trained for two weeks huh I don't think I'm ever happy training period in my jobs I had I worked at Target as a cashier I made 685 after a raise big ball or big bowler
00:14:39| which is the most boring job you could possibly do and you're not interested move around like you're supposed to like make sure that you don't have any customers and then not talk to any of
00:14:49| the other cashiers and stay in the same box cashier to this day is one of the worst jobs yeah my heart goes out to every cashier that's just sitting there mining
00:14:59| mind-numbingly scanning things it's brutal it can even make conversation with people because it's only a lie down and there's the worst is places that have a
00:15:07| line like a Wawa or something like that people always tapping their feet in agitated and you feel bad yeah and it's it's almost like they're angry at the cashier for not going faster even it's
00:15:16| like this fries we're doing this jerk that does that now it's a balloon written to check it all responding the comments below 69 cents let me just yeah this kid
00:15:31| I need his gums hot date so that was all this is the wrong flavor and let me go back can you exchange it for me in the cashier she's like yeah the funny thing about my first job for you oh is it
00:15:45| everyone worked there and I don't know if everyone worked there and I became friends with everyone or the cool thing about it being minimum wage job and within walking distance
00:15:58| don't be burping yep that's fantastic was I can I can get there and so could all these other young people because it was only people were 16 18 yeah it's like angry there's water ice almost yeah
00:16:11| a little bit and there was always the trauma there was love lines there were story lines there was like relationships or so and I know squares Pentagon's you name it and in a way it was a worst job
00:16:24| ever ahead but one of the best and we started actually hanging out near pretty hell because you could always that no matter who was working you knew them and they were gonna give you free ice cream
00:16:36| they're like it's Nick let me know I'll be like so like you get something free you could hang out like you could you've owned the place it was a little bit like hey you're gonna pay me minimum wage is
00:16:47| this shitty job but guess what I'm gonna use a system yeah you could do any of that at Target it was terrible even make friends with people because you weren't allowed to
00:16:56| talk to them and that's a corporation right there yeah corporate life and people do that for a living which is surprising considering or getting me back foot really come back we're gonna
00:17:07| talk about that yeah we are Leslie wants to move any other jobs that were interesting or weird did you ever serve yes well I'll talk about some Hollywood video one was the one I did a Hollywood
00:17:19| video stint at the same time I did the target one so I'd go back and forth because I was trying to rake in the cash like home 100 150 bucks a week there's no way in it you can be it's
00:17:30| doing that at all that's the stupidest thing I should never worked but um yeah Hollywood video one is much better because you get free reign and you also had cool people to talk to
00:17:42| with similar interest right like we're all about yeah I could have hung out with those people but I'm an introvert they older shy um some of them were but their attitudes were actually like teens
00:17:55| yeah so like think well those people probably you know I could hang out with them what I should watch a movie and there's lian and good movies obviously and the Thai movies three movies what's
00:18:09| crazy is there's always girls that work at those tech places too not that are attractive I know that how that happened yeah you don't need oh oh it's crazy I know it's like a meme or a popular joke
00:18:19| or it's like overdone they took out these muscles start working out last week fantastic yeah they thought so where's my definition I thought I was getting definition by today
00:18:28| I'm not we're gonna child being lifted anyway my body trying to lift me out of this sounds of shove your jaw childish man no but him to go to jail in fact of
00:18:50| women oh how some people watching this video whether its current Millennials I think on them are we Millennials not yet here we are technically around the fringe said bullcrap we're not really
00:19:01| like in between Millennials and exes or something we're a little older anyway there are people who literally have no idea what it's like that was store that rents video videos and video games
00:19:13| because whoa Hollywood man later this while we're in college so like three years later Hollywood vintage video didn't exist it well spot Buster the og the big one the I love that somebody
00:19:27| like some big mega corporate conglomerate bought how would video like two years after I worked there for like a billion dollars and like I read all this and it was out it's gone they just
00:19:39| lost two billion like oh I wish I do now we could mock them unless they're so popular it's almost like media play like places that sold CDs FYE all those places like CNN host was it
00:19:52| could be sungkoo's video bought a lot of things they were pretty big no I was something media Viacom yeah it wasn't I just the second episode used by calm as an answer that's pretty pretty good
00:20:07| niche use of a bike on right there and my pay was exactly the same of both of those jobs so I was my I was like can I please leave this target job to go work for the other phone cuz it's these can
00:20:19| be hard to people suggest movies so I worked as a server and there's something we always said I worked at on border cafe which is the best Mexican tex-mex hybrid is like food place you can go to
00:20:37| in like the East Coast I let's say I think there's three of them wow that's big they you know there's like um that's what I'm giving it there's like three of them in the United States or there were
00:20:48| when I work I could have expanded they could have all folded because they suck huh but up working in a restaurant was awesome I would agree with you her in
00:20:59| college I worked at a Pizza Hut which is the easiest and what did you do with the pizza pie dish everything because everyone there was a degenerate and they're so lazy so from where people
00:21:12| like getting high at work I probably they went out back I don't know how they did I was straight-laced at that point okay so my first see don't know okay I knew he's what we're doing stuff because
00:21:24| they were not acting normal okay and people were I could loopy etc this so wait you're answering the phone mm-hm answer the phone orders placed the order would be been delivering you didn't
00:21:35| deliver I did but I did that at the same time I was doing it being a waiter and so it was I was doing everything so they say delivery people see something wired weird kind of weird stuff see anything
00:21:48| uh no suburbs nothing too crazy no but you make a lot of money as a delivery driver actually and be like I would make I think I mean so I was as a waiter
00:21:59| you know this you're a tipped employee so you make what to something I was like yeah it's a two nine five or 255 so weird tell me a small amount of money and with
00:22:08| tip it was probably more like ten bucks hold on our there's something I didn't realize so I hope the government's listening please government be listening to me
00:22:19| so worked as a restaurant guy your tips are all cash almost all cash yep the way our restaurant did it is they you put everything into the computer it said
00:22:32| what you owed for every meal and I owed for every meal I didn't have to put my money into a register at all and then credit cards took off for that number because credit cards go right into the
00:22:42| computer system so at the end of the night if I had 40 people I served or 20 people I served and tips that said they expected a number from me so it would be like you owe two hundred ninety-eight
00:22:54| dollars to put $473 well hold on no no just four I owed the the restaurant huh for the meals they didn't I didn't pay for the meals at all so anytime like they were $70 worth of food and they
00:23:08| tipped me $15 right I take $85 I put it in my pocket and that's it I move on the next table they give all this is there for the computer right right so the whatever the
00:23:20| difference is I keep they don't know and any credit card knocks the number down because you know core goes right against the number anyway mmm at the end of the night they be like
00:23:30| you owe eight hundred and thirty dollars and I'd have like a thousand dollars of cash in my pocket so I'm exaggerating or maybe I'm right I can't remember so I give them their number and I keep
00:23:40| everything else could be a hundred dollars could be 40 dollars could be three hundred dollars who the hell knows that's what kind of night at and always the managers were always like what do
00:23:50| you declare for the night tips wise keep in mind to declare ten percent of what you made or what you handed in and I'll really say and I was like uh and I would tell them the real number right before
00:24:03| my kids yeah hold on I didn't I didn't understand and they were like and then they wait and they repeated the question they're always like you only have to declare ten percent and I was like yeah
00:24:13| $380 something okay and they would write it down so I did this for like a month they have two months like damn why didn't I act so weird and he's like what did you tell him and I'm
00:24:23| like I tell them what I really make he's like idiot who worked with me he's like just tell him 10% uh-huh well number is just lie them so I started lying after that so we're good because it gets
00:24:36| reported back to the federal government and they want another tip to me is that you're here it come so they got me for like six weeks Congrats IRS sucked me off okay I would
00:24:46| only record the stuff that was on the credit card transactions because the cash could never betray they said the credit card transactions always had to be reported but because it was all lump
00:24:55| figured you know yeah I think 10% is a low portion of the minimum wage so it's like required by law to put just to be taxed 10% over a certain income level and you're probably meaning that so
00:25:08| alright I guess it's a second sniff on top the instead do you have to pay for the deal I've never had people stiff me against they never sprinted out of the restaurant or no hey I've never had it
00:25:21| hmm that's terrible though how much did the like $100 meal that ruins like you know it was only at $60 but like I mean where am I now um you had to pay for the meal but
00:25:33| my manager was like really nice that night and she liked me so she was like well we'll cover the meal but you're getting me again a tip obviously I was like okay thank you like so I mean it
00:25:43| was kind of cool billing if they have it all time they'd be like you're officially hold on some weird shit happens to Mexican tex-mex restaurant oh yeah visible I 95 okay
00:25:56| time was the big ruse on front room everything hold on so it's a big blue sign says eat 1295 people come here from all walks of life because it's so it's a main thoroughfare of i-95 just everyone
00:26:11| comes my buddy Dan one of my best friends from college he worked there across the college so he's working when i am i closing and i think a guy came in at like 9:50 on a night where they
00:26:22| closed at 10:00 and he comes in and everyone's like do that little a bit you look weird right but at the same time you want to close down you're ready to shut the kitchen down everything
00:26:33| he ordered a steak it takes too long to fry cook that thing up takes 10-15 minutes at least so hold on this guy's weird he's acting shady everyone's keeping an eye on now everyone in the
00:26:46| restaurants a lot except for him he's hunched over in a trench coat like just sitting over his plate waiting for his meal we start seeing the steak and he gets up and walks in the bathroom it's
00:26:57| my buddy dance table now so he walks up and he's like the matter he's like you know that that weird dude he swapped to the bathroom I don't know where he's going oh he's doing he came out of the
00:27:06| bathroom with his trench coat covering his whole body and was like you know buddy people know me I'm the cutter people call me the cutter and Tim was like cut ah I just wanna know if you're
00:27:18| done with your meal I got a we gotta check this out with a meal I'm the best at my manager and he goes over big tells his manager when they came back like this guy was come on and he only ate
00:27:28| three bucks of his steak and he didn't pay for anything and and to this day no one knows what he was talking about like he's the Condor I'm the cutter people called me the cutter like a panic cutter
00:27:38| but wasn't it was gone huh so my other buddy Wild Bill who was there that night had another night where he's working one of the last ships real heavyset couple I'm talking like 400 pounds each they
00:27:54| order their craft they do whatever I said the size of the booth they out they order the food they do the thing where uh guy disappeared for a little bit and maybe going bathroom I don't know them
00:28:05| comes back they paid they tips everything's fine at the end of the night you have to check like meter everything's good right silverware roll-ups
00:28:14| make sure there's no food on the floor you don't want any kind of animals and then you check the bathroom fix the bathroom oh my god he comes to the manager just
00:28:23| manager I think that big guy I think he pooped he said the discussing did its washes he said I did it will go down oh and we had the the commercial toilets like your
00:28:36| same one who's a boy our decaying double one so the manager came in and tried to flush it and he couldn't flush it and no one complexion so you know it comes next
00:28:46| broom kübra night Gotti's a poop night dude you gotta grab that bad boy and two three four pieces the restaurant and I think it is well the manager had two
00:29:02| album because it was it's like is it a sanitary thing give you anything like gloves they don't protect you from that poo poo splash I can tell you stories for just restaurant stories are some of
00:29:13| the best cuz they're like they're so just like some earthly you know everyone has like everyone has meals everyone has like friends and the way people interact in restaurants is just different yeah
00:29:25| it's different especially one that serves alcohol we served alcohol so it like it helps it lightens makes everyone crazy they had like famous some margaritas
00:29:36| whatever we like fifteen different kinds of margaritas one night I had a table of um like eleven women older women I'm talking like 40-plus that's my
00:29:46| wheelhouse yeah I'm flirting with him I'm having fun on lap and it was like a $300 tab and he left me like once a hundred bucks we're just way over but like you know it was a big night like
00:30:00| whatever so an hour goes by and I thought holy crap dude did they give me too much looking at my stuff from going on with my numbers she came back in the doorway
00:30:12| an hour later the main woman and she was like Nick I think we made a mistake and I was like yeah I'm thinking uh gave me too much and she handed me 40 more dollars and said I hope we left
00:30:29| enough and I said no you're good and she said take this this is the best night of tips of my life I didn't have to dance take off my clothes $140 and you'd answer verbally though I bet I probably
00:30:42| did and I love those ladies like I like solid you know give them I'll give them a lap dance so close-up dance I love them my age range is opposite doors not by perfect oh yeah there's a table of it
00:30:59| probably like third Jeanne year olds and 12 like for smells jarred combo yeah so they they pay for their meal and they gave me a little bit of tip a
00:31:09| surprising tip for like 12 13 year olds right they do good that's Taylor Isaac they left a note on the table that said like my name's Taylor call me at and then like this is my number and I was
00:31:22| like what the heck so I was reading it and as I was reading out here giggling and it was like they sat in the corner so Louie never waited at the quarter window and they're all
00:31:32| laughing at me they're all like it was what I've ever seen and no I did not call them I say nailed her 22 mm-hmm what about people that like at the time I was going to school I graduated with
00:31:56| an engineering degree so I had people that were like they knew I was going to college and they like hewill extra so you can take care of yourself yeah yeah yeah they do that that's a real claim
00:32:06| and the weird thing the weird thing was that it was a woman it was a girl thank you second her 20s and her mom and it was towards the end of my my period there but in the beginning they always
00:32:18| came as a triplet with a guy who I guess was dating a girl so towards the end I dam was trying to push her on me and me on her and Dawn he'd go on and son but they only took me an extra 10 bucks and
00:32:30| I was like I think in a hell yeah thanks sweetheart yeah thanks I appreciate it a little bit the only thing I'll wrap up restaurant off with is that um actually can I do two things I want to tell the
00:32:47| story about the so we had real flame there were these like candles that were in these glass boxes that we're all around and made it look like it was well no no they were like around the
00:33:00| restaurant they were like eight feet high or whatever but they made it look like they're real lamps didn't mean like your app though and Mexican restaurant not a real flame though it was a real
00:33:10| flame it was in case I think there's propane gas online prior right that way into it from behind no big deal so I never I've seen these things for like seven weeks 10 weeks 13 weeks but I
00:33:21| never had to open because my shifts were always late today so one day I'm opening on a Saturday because I'd off I was like I give me extra money where and they're like Nick like the things I was like I
00:33:32| never did it and they're like it's pretty easy they showed me the first one they're like there's three panes of glass three panes of glass right one two three and in the back it's open you can
00:33:42| just like that we give you a lighter and you light it make sure the gas turns on light it easy so I said this is easy stupid easy I've brought a chair one into two minute
00:33:53| three to four so good for like the fifth one there's only like eight in the whole place I get on my chair I turned on the gas line just like I did all of them and I reach around the pack and I was like
00:34:02| what the hell I was like it's glass at the back I was like all the others are open in the back so I tried the left it's got glass I tried that front it's got glass and try to right it's the
00:34:13| glass something in yo this one's glass all over they're like the glass things slide out idiot and I was like oh well how do you do it and they were like pick it up
00:34:22| slide it out it comes out I was like and I just put it back yeah put it back I think that's pretty easy mm-hmm all right slide it up it's been like two minutes now this glass box is
00:34:34| filled with ink of I left the line the whole time and then I slid it up and I just went light like a fireball goes into singed my eyebrows my hair right here and knocked me off the chair and I
00:34:48| was like oh my god today one see that and their rooms like are you okay I was like yeah yeah I guess so I can smell burnt hair overarm and like it really angel I like what that happens because
00:35:01| it on to shave really feels true three forearms you shave your forearms well I mean they get pretty bushy I'm not gonna I don't know if you have that you know you're chopping in this is this
00:35:14| is after a fresh shave sushi you see new forms no no just trim not [Laughter] anyway oh sorry what I wanted to do is
00:35:28| wrap up restaurant um when I work there on a I got really good at tipping be anytime I pulled up to a red light now from now on it still affects me to this day
00:35:41| I pull up to a red light I'm looking at the car next to me and the guys revving his engine I'm like this guy's an asshole looks like he kept pretty good though
00:35:49| blue even babe and then sometimes I pulled to a red light and I look over and like you tipped like 10% exact you suck and it's weird I break people into those two
00:36:01| groups now and it I never did that before I work there and it's hard to explain who I think does and who doesn't it's weird it really limits whether you really do
00:36:09| like back-breaking work for somebody because you see people that you think you know you're a table of ten and you're doing everything and the kid drops something you got you you know
00:36:19| pick it up I got it yeah hello would you for all my god I'll get that in a second you want ketchup that's great I asked you earlier but you weren't catching now okay I gotcha
00:36:26| Jenni tipper yeah that's where narrows your range of the view of the human race and it's feared because you also don't know during the meal who's gonna be a shitter tipper yeah so you're helping
00:36:37| them like super you're like ah I got you yeah I got you bro and then at the end you're like fucking piece of shit I'm gonna break that slicker up on the toilet oh man the one thing about the
00:36:52| wait waiter drops is that they actually paid you cash like having cash in your pocket completely no cash you've you feel that and you notice it and you want to do something with it it's hard not to
00:37:04| do cuz like you have to go to the bank and deposit it what that doesn't make sense any job that deals with cash is a different type of job so you can
00:37:13| actually feel money increasing you do it's not like having to go to your bank account where it's just a number the number just changes you're just like right hundo percent agree now what would
00:37:27| you say about those those are jobs not career usually definitely because you don't increase your work worth over time if you have knowledge or something that can be put
00:37:36| another job you can take more for it that's a career well I don't have a career but I'm working towards one now you're talking to a guy who just put together a beautiful resume
00:37:47| I put together it's the best you guys should see it it's it's gorgeous it has all these keywords it's got this it's got that it's got buzzwords it's got pop it's a beautiful format it's gorgeous
00:38:02| it's got my name in bold here it's got my LinkedIn profile it's I really think we could hire at any second huh so where are you putting it mark you've heard of it yeah anyway I'm just
00:38:16| hoping I get hired before they see any of my videos fine like Twitter or find my find anything I - they need they need anyway so like zip recruiter if you heard a zipper cruder before yeah I know
00:38:30| it's improved a bit in patched to it at all but that's my routine when I go to the bathroom I'm just boop boop boop apply to all these different jobs and none of them ever respond I think in the
00:38:41| beginning I actually got responses because they didn't have like a background on me but now I think they like Know Who I it isn't it live I don't trust it it is I don't know whose video
00:38:51| but there's probably a company out there that will like do a background check and I pull up all ridiculous stuff that you've done no he said that he really loves be pppppp
00:39:01| and that's like what what is BBB beautiful women with blue eye shadow can't have this guy here so hold on wait on with zip recruiter but I thought that was the opposite I thought that was an
00:39:16| employer tool for attracting employees not the other way around how is that any different than applying to a job an employer really a year or two oh I guess mmm I guess both parties
00:39:31| have to use it yeah is it recruiter intensive like a thousand different jobs but I think you get marginalized because the amount of people that probably apply versus
00:39:40| there's probable that are pure bullshit that make them sound fantastic we're gonna all right climb through this little shit to get right so hold on let's talk about professional
00:39:49| jobs because I don't have one technically so let's assign it why don't shred one is the question she went to college you picked a degree based on what I had biology and I
00:40:01| figured being a bio major working for Merck was okay but like mm-hmm so I really wanted to write for the Flyers if we were to be honest where did you graduate with English journalism so you
00:40:13| want white biology oh because I was good at biology originally and I took a urine a year and a half of biology I did all the courses the only hard one was organic ken that was a bitch difficult
00:40:25| oh yeah we tell you that I should have just stuck with it and got the degree because then I can get job build whatever but I agree well I might he might heard that at the time is most
00:40:35| most eighteen year old reality now I mean and then I thought because I'm also a really good writer it doesn't show when I do a podcast or who asked me to do a transcript or something but I could
00:40:49| write like a mother I have the only ten in a class damn event he knows he still thinks about ten doesn't exist he's full of shit anyway I thought like Dan if I get right for like the Flyers or the
00:41:01| Eagles or something really cool like that's what I wanted to do be a reporter that was like always with the team and don't fluff pieces and writing a big story about how its epic it changed the
00:41:11| history I changed everything maybe a read a book like a maybe a piece on someone who's dying who's like the greatest player of all time that's that's what I wanted to do with my life
00:41:22| I until I realized that everyone and their mother does writing for free now and it's only goddamn Internet so I wasted my goddamn time marginalized I have a friend who does exactly that for
00:41:33| the Houston Chronicle and how they do they like it or they like it because they are there like a little bit like you a pure writer that they just like writing but they only make a bit like 40
00:41:45| maybe 50 so it's like Shane working hard too and it's Lloyd you better hope to hell your paper doesn't go under any papers friggin yeah I mean you've got to be at the prime one and I think she is
00:41:57| but new to make real money you have to be either like New York or la and then everything in between is kind of questionable right it's a weird thing in a stupid decision on my part
00:42:09| and my parents decided to help me out with my first semester of college everything else is on me so I signed up for three and a half years of out of state tuition yeah so the financial
00:42:22| aspect was not even on your mind you weren't projecting I was going to teach your team everyone everyone signed it up for this let's do it you're only allowed to drink when you're
00:42:35| impact negatively on yourself at 18 let's see it's been 10 years it was a seventeen year pale dishes and you can't go bankrupt because you still have to pay in bankruptcy really I didn't think
00:42:50| that I've been paying unstop not to get depressed I could feel the sadness in your voice I know right on it's just dropping a little bit quick shut up Sally many it everyone works her died
00:43:03| I'd feel really bad um boatsman I did get I did get parents all fed cosign shoutouts all it took but anyway I think a lot of people I just read an article yesterday apparently do
00:43:20| you do the Google News thing yeah yeah I looked at the feed swiped a little bit to the far side and it shows me everything that Google recommends sighs why would I read or and I do mosun s--
00:43:29| listen it's pretty good pretty good Google I have faith in you okay throw a lot of like a surges of you what am I one of my search results is always student loan debt and I'm like I haven't
00:43:43| I haven't googled that in like eight years why do you keep bringing it up up what I'm always interested in the story I'm like I have a goal that what is this and I just read one today that said uh I
00:43:53| think this generation like the the ones that just came out of college now are more debt than anyone ever before that makes sense because numbers responding just penniless up and it's and the worth
00:44:06| is going down isn't it yeah I mean most people they didn't get a prime degree than they're stuck doing a job where they pay very little thirty or forty K which you could have
00:44:17| gotten doing not college yeah not getting the loans not getting that loan so I guess was just crazy this crazy what's the what's the end goal it's like you for who for any
00:44:29| individual dollars like going to college who's trying to make money trying to get money get more time well there's two lines of thought I I went to a prestigious high school that told me
00:44:40| higher education was always better and I do in my heart of hearts I actually believe that more education is better but I what I will say is the money that I paid for my higher education probably
00:44:54| not worth it I could have gotten that just doing podcasts on each subject and prepping before each podcast probably and talking about it but now this is different we should open this as a call
00:45:06| we'll teach you how every time I would have yeah but name is doesn't think this didn't exist when we started college like knowledge about the outside world and other people's perspective zero no
00:45:19| it did it did change I actually think up at college bubble will burst I think it will to I think there'll be some sort of online certified course will destroy the the knowledge base of colleges and then
00:45:31| they will be in conversation kind of piece that two professors could harm professors of podcasts torial knowledge I don't know you're onto something like podcast geniuses yeah could teach you
00:45:47| professor Oriole knowledge for price you can come with the show for uprights folks you heard it here first you can be a nun panda right once you graduate unpin de right you're guaranteed to get
00:46:02| a job somewhere we can't tell you where but for the right price it's probably worth it and we're not pandering so you've insinuated that you have a job and it doesn't pay what you want you
00:46:15| didn't say what it is exactly you define it right now for the for the viewers which one my job now yeah I'm a deliveryman person yeah how to be sexist you sexist pig it's the same didn't the
00:46:31| delivery men cuz man is different the men delivered umm I deliver things I do sales calls I buy things and I move boxes all day it's a family thing don't help him with a family business it's not
00:46:50| doing too well I figure without me it kind of puts a lot of pressure on someone I'm related to that's my father that's tough forward it would it would physically hurt him I think like he
00:47:03| would have to move twice as many boxes at his age and another thing you would write physical labor so like that first job I had was doing wiring like it was exhausting I'd come
00:47:15| home and be beat same thing I being a cashier and standing up all the time the a gentleman talked about that just because you don't move doesn't mean it's not hard work it's hard so you can only
00:47:25| do that really for maybe 10-15 years before it really starts to drag on you and a lot of people maybe stand money doing like I could have done the networking wiring thing for time this
00:47:37| age and then he would have been us I'd be cooked I wouldn't be able to do anything and I'd be like well now I got to go back to school I thought I haven't used my brain in 15 years all right
00:47:48| a brutal would that be well I'll put it up put it this way not to change subjects but you're kind of on to it it's hard for someone who hasn't been in the system at the right time to change
00:48:00| careers to change past you're a target cashier for 10 years you're let's say you're a genius and then you decide hey I'm going to get that chemical engineering degree well you really have
00:48:12| to pay for it you really can't go to college to do it these probably have a kid or something or a wife or you have to pay your bills so now you're taking online courses and then at the end of
00:48:23| the online course you may have a certification I'm not sure if you do it doesn't stack up quite as well as someone who's 20 starry-eyed and willing to work for way less yeah you have that
00:48:35| foolishness that you just will drive through things and expect to pay out what maybe six years away if you start cooperating right that just is it no it doesn't
00:48:46| happen as a person who pays bills and stuff yeah especially got a family or a girlfriend or a wife or a kid like that that sort of stuff we'll just there's no way to call it for that they call it
00:48:57| they call it the golden handcuffs so when I first started looking for a different job six years ago and then I kind of stopped my cold guy who was a headhunter he was like hey you know you
00:49:07| can get a job doing X Y & Z you can do this commission basis it says they told me like all these things I could do my head was swimming and he's like but um you make good money and I was like I
00:49:17| mean I make good money for what I do I shouldn't make this much you know doing physical labor etc etc deliveries and he was like let me tell you that the golden handcuffs off cool buddy I don't know
00:49:28| you wear a date hello what you want to do to me but uh are you attractive if I'm talking about uh he told me um if you're paying X on your mortgage X on your car payment X on Netflix X on he
00:49:43| didn't say Netflix I may give this up but you have payments you do every month they're based on what you make let's say you want to change your career so I wanna be a chemical engineer I mean all
00:49:52| I have to do is work with this shit shop for like two years at 30,000 and then I get a bump to 40 and then maybe 50 together and then 16 then I have room for growth well do you have to keep in
00:50:02| mind can you afford to take the pay cut for four years or two years I there called golden handcuffs I know your job shittier doesn't have a big future but if it pays all your bills and your
00:50:14| alternative is less money we're gonna do about your mortgage what are you gonna do about your car payment or you really use 39 you're 42 whatever you are are you willing to take a pay cut to further
00:50:27| your career later in life like it's hard to do that at 40 yeah most people think about the now and if they can't take care of them now and what's the point it's too high to in here what if you did
00:50:38| start taking on some of the debt and etc etc at 40 and then you found out you got cancer at 45 and then wait and you didn't even finish the schooling you imagine it and you're like well and you
00:50:51| already quit the job that was making a little more but like you know now you don't have that job you do not even finish the schooling you're kind of frayed that's frightening
00:51:01| but I don't think it's pulled it off I honestly couldn't if I didn't go to have it was a weird thing the other thing to bring up is um what we can get into is that I work in poor black communities
00:51:13| that's where 90% of my deliveries are it's where my family grew up it's where everything happens so when I deliver to places I have on abused women homes that are some of my big customers there's a
00:51:27| place that houses women and children who don't have money for housing of their own like that's a big customer of mine you know when I talk to the people there or that work there
00:51:38| I hear crazy stuff and I can hardly believe it do you know what the poverty line is in Pennsylvania at least say it's like per individual it's probably like what thirteen thousand twelve
00:51:49| thousand it's they do it by two people so if you 250 a house it's fifteen five that's deep enough you live on that hold on money or something even freaking crazier so the poverty line is fifteen
00:52:04| thousand five hundred and sixty nine dollars right if you're below that it's poverty like you poor so you know what the minimum federal wages in Pennsylvania it's seven and a quarter so
00:52:15| that's about fifteen thousand it's fifteen even almost it's like 1505 so if you work a minimum wage out for 40 hours a week from full year you aren't even meeting the poverty line if you're
00:52:30| working for you and your wife yeah and I don't even know if you're getting benefits or time off you probably don't get any of those perks so this is even bigger so I talked to everyone I talked
00:52:38| to everyone in debt there are several if not eight if not ten if not fifteen programs and Pennsylvania alone of what we call welfare everyone can talk about welfare all they want to have no clue
00:52:51| what it really ultimately boils down to they have a tan which is temporary assist for the needy families they give you up to five years they'll give you money depending on your family situation
00:53:05| there's snap which is literally based on food some supplementary nutrition assist program right that's the one that they'll give you money if you make under
00:53:15| a certain amount and it changes based on your family basis they give you a certain amount and they say put it on your EBT card and you have to use that card anywhere that accepts EBT money not
00:53:27| just anywhere like I know Wawa does I assume what what does I made well because they're a big corporation you can only buy certain things right correct then there's like this is like
00:53:38| LIHEAP which is on well it's that same low income low income Home Energy Assistance Program so during the winter and if you can't afford to heat your own home they will pay you for heat during
00:53:53| months like XYZ XYZ like they make the month September October November but it's only on like households that has like a mother and two children and you have to include the social security
00:54:04| number of everyone who live there and include your income and they figure out if you're worthy of it boom you're good I really even some know about this stuff it's complicated I don't even know if
00:54:16| it's a fairy it's very complicated and I also delivered a lot of welfare offices to their toilet paper and favorite house and I see it's crazy sometimes you see people who look like they have plenty of
00:54:26| money and there's sometimes people who they gotta bring their kids they have the random four kids to the welfare office because they can't leave them at home if they need the money and they're
00:54:34| walking here cuz they'd all have a car and they can't afford insurance I see crazy stuff and one time I was talking to a guy outside and he said um he was on welfare he was on abuse and I don't
00:54:48| know which we was snap I don't know and he they gave him it was it at thousand a month I don't remember what they gave him the month but uh he tried to get a job at like a best food place making
00:55:02| minimum wage which we discussed was seven mcclure after he worked for forty hours a week for four weeks he got money for his family because he wanted to get off welfare he wanted to his thing he
00:55:15| made X dollars after what the exact number was he told me I was like 1300 it was 2,100 may lose or dollars I honestly camera brains another year the map no no for the month for the
00:55:27| month right that was like 20 dollars lower than his paycheck was from welfare for not working like he said at that point he cuz you know taxes can that yeah there's no point he was like this
00:55:41| he was like I quit the next day I was done like the only means money you just have to prove that you're trying to apply to new jobs right exactly but like how crazy is that like he's trying to do
00:55:54| something here and he can make more money not working and I'm not saying you shouldn't give money to people who need the money I'm saying maybe we should raise the minimum wage because do you
00:56:06| know what we talked about minimum wage earlier how tell Sarah Anna Corbin dollars at California are they up to 11 good and California but there's two problems that arise though one minimum
00:56:17| wage should be raised minimum wage jobs like um flipping burgers as they say which is a pantheist job cashiers as they say it was just a pain in this job we just discussed this they're designed
00:56:27| for what kids coming out of grade school getting into the workforce world you get your feet transitional right all right what ends up happening is people like 38 have to take that job who have no line
00:56:43| of work right now yeah they're falling down they have to try and survive with their family on that job and I pay that's like you're you're kind of asked cuz that that's not even the poverty
00:56:56| line but on the other hand but on the other hand if you paid everyone who flipped burgers given that example oil look down on that and said to $15 an hour let's say well
00:57:06| let's say they don't weigh just $15 an hour now right have you a good number right come on out raise up well yeah yeah I mean now you gotta pay a worker $15 an hour to do
00:57:18| your menial work you've lost all your profits so all businesses will go out of business yeah they should rally incentivize people to become more educated and then
00:57:28| maybe they'll get more educated jobs but again unless they got education cost you forty thousand dollars a year sure sure it's a weird mix yeah I don't know the answer
00:57:38| I'm not trying to claim the answer I just know I work in the poor communities and I see some weird stuff let's recap the some of those assistance programs because people might is like okay
00:57:48| usa.gov slash benefits did you go pensive agent not and click mean where are will do USA so that got ta NF tamp is the welfare or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
00:58:02| he had the snap which was what was it was a supplemental nutrition assistance program okay here the LIHEAP which was yeah yeah so y'all low-income Home Energy Assistance
00:58:13| Program and then there's chip there's church with Children's Health Insurance Program mm-hmm so like those four things are gonna help somebody out and if they infinite all fall upon this podcast and
00:58:23| listen to those things go to Lewis eight our code that slash benefits because that can help you immensely I'm good thank you didn't know beforehand please know now yeah and I mean you get stuck
00:58:36| in this weird cycle where you can't benefit from anything you do really honestly it's not at all it's the system's telling you just to stop doing anything because it's most beneficial
00:58:44| just to make the amount of money you need to at the moment I heard a real real depressing tweet today I didn't hear it because I didn't read all that oh yeah I saw do you know how most um
00:58:56| old people like 78 milder or like conservative Republicans and they're always like crouching never have a the average right yep it's because poor people who are usually
00:59:09| democratic and liberal don't live to that old that's fine I thought that's not true and it was like I don't know if poor health insurance will both die before they even reach so it's great
00:59:19| they have poor lives in general right yeah I did read that like heart issues are more prevalent in the African American community oh hell yeah because they will listen if
00:59:31| you can go to I almost said Wendy's but checkers and buy a burger for two dollars and then fries or drink is like four dollars five dollars as opposed to spending eight
00:59:43| dollars on the raw materials and actually spending an hour cooking them yeah I'm gonna buy the cheaper stuff to help no but I mean you've always been behind
00:59:51| somebody in the checkout line that is buying ridiculous junk food because it's cheap cheap it is really cheap and it probably is not nutritionist but I not great for your help but you don't feel
01:00:03| hungry so you're gonna spend money on something you might as well get as many calories out of it as possible right cheese yeah government cheese is a real thing
01:00:14| my friend's dad used to make fun of it all the time really yeah did Nick sound like it's government cheese and I was like I don't know what that is it's probably a jerk
01:00:25| racist but I don't even know the guy but I'm sure no I don't want to know easy although he he did he's the funniest guy in the world I can't do a whole episode on let's go back to it alright let's
01:00:42| talk about averages like incomes by state so median half maybe in the house come pulled it I didn't look this up at all good I like this stuff so like Pennsylvania the median household income
01:00:56| middles 55,000 is that couples or just household household so I mean that's pretty low that's pretty low yeah that's a house I think that Texas is literally right behind it by like hundred bucks 50
01:01:08| bucks huh so it's a weird thing because I earn more than that as an individual right not not to mention household right yeah so it's like you try to think about how life would be if you had your salary
01:01:24| cut back to that your household income cut back to that and I don't think it would work like I I think I would need assistance in my current life or I'd have to downgrade til it's something
01:01:34| that just doesn't seem imaginable right change your car paint your house change your mortgage change what you buy a grocery store it changes everything yeah it's a ripple effect that would go
01:01:44| through my entire life percentile people are in if they're making a certain amount and this is individual so if you're right at 50 percent right in the middle of the
01:01:58| entire economy you're making about thirty eight thousand bucks it might be you United States in the United States that's the 50% line yeah right in the
01:02:09| middle but that includes some people there's about you see about 7% of people making less than $3,500 so that's probably like okay so like the children and people right people who aren't
01:02:21| working okay home it's still crazy it's still go all right hold on what's the top 1% in America I have the number of running me actually I'm looking at it I don't know if that number is reliable
01:02:32| I'll today the top Piper since its 2018 okay what's the top five it's about 150 grand weird I have honored 67,000 it was a little higher than what I said sure I mean mine's 2018 by Wikipedia so who
01:02:46| knows how is 20 reliable so maybe the inflation okay so hold on so top 1.5 percent make 250,000 and up that's just insane it's the only thing that you could make in on yours
01:02:59| enough to retire yeah hold on let me so the bottom 10% bottom 10% make zero to ten thousand five hundred dollars yep top three top ten percent there's my top
01:03:14| ten percent is a hundred and ten thousand dollars minks so top ten percent makes 10 times as much almost exactly yeah then the bottom 10 percent mm-hmm so pretty hugely it is hmm we'll
01:03:33| say the gap isn't getting better before we get super depressed because I feel like we're going down a road where we just keep saying sad numbers yeah I do want to say I brought something back
01:03:42| for this week because it's kind of special to our hearts you may remember it's one of our big things from bringing it back this week it's really important it's the celebrity show we have another
01:03:58| challenge is a long time I know and this one's really important because it allows the children so real quick everyone at home knows there's two things that are really big in Hollywood as a media right
01:04:10| now I'm going to hear them sure everyone knows it's Axl Rose with the new comes in Rose came out come on bill ban Govinda tell us about it come on man he's good he's
01:04:21| gonna pop on high so good he's probably he's probably quite chomping at the bit and number two Zach Braff is making a big comeback with his new hit show podcasting that's not the name of the
01:04:33| show but it's about podcast Oh I'm calling it well I'm calling it I have no clue what it's called but he has a whole new sitcom about podcasting I think it got cancelled but it was pretty
01:04:43| good showing up how do you spell it I mean it's a helluva word Zach Braff anyway I want to challenge them to clean toilets sounds gross right who can clean it the most the best fault line no
01:05:03| legitimate and chop Children's Hospital Philadelphia we're gonna do it for the children and we're gonna raise money we're gonna raise up to $100 we will match whoever wins and we actually will
01:05:17| be the teammate for each of you you can pick whether you want Axl or you won Zach then come when Zach because he's like beautiful blue guy yeah and we're gonna do a bacterial swab and
01:05:27| whoever has the least amount of bacteria wins okay cool I like that I think that's reasonable it is so Axl or Zach gets back to our camp think sonic has an advantage
01:05:40| because he was on a medically oriented show called scrubs he does but Axl has been dealing with shit holes for a year I mean it's a little sided out oh you know we'll see
01:05:55| how it works but that's the shout-out celebrity challenge today and that was like a pick-me-up so let's get back to ya jobs but we can sum it up by saying minimum wage is not for adults and it
01:06:08| has become for adults yeah let's talk about the top percent because everyone loves them right I like the 1% I actually am friends with most of the 1% there's like
01:06:20| and I'm friends with all of them so here's my awesome fact counselor via written it's on our edit page okay never been wrong or the serial killer thing have you heard that
01:06:29| no game after that what zero killer thing Jack the Ripper there's an AI thing I'm designed to read I think they forced it to watch people dying oh no I saw some stuff like that
01:06:44| and so then they gave a Rorschach test and stuff afterwards and it was strictly a reddit thing and it said it's all this is someone dying of gunshot wound this is someone being stabbed in a dome
01:06:58| machine or this is someone getting murdered by their friend and like hey I was supposed to look at all this stuff and read it and it became a psychopath Oh
01:07:07| shat out reddit you build the best Psychopaths I mean you do other stuff good too I think no but I mean that's pretty good that's something yeah they provided me
01:07:18| with this awesome fact and what's the fact LeBron James who's probably the one of the most wealthiest of decimal players Oh basketball player yeah I know when he was 18 he was offered ten
01:07:30| million by Reebok to take a deal huh and he said no I'm probably gonna make more money later yes he did cocky eighteen year old he made ninety million with Nike imagine making that
01:07:44| much money in a deal early on so Allen Iverson you look this one up he did a long-term deal didn't he say if you did you might still be me might still be making money or I felt like and it was
01:07:57| like 15 years removed where he was like bankrupt but that was a genius move on his part shiny no hmm yeah that's in a previous episode you need to rewind all the way
01:08:07| back to episode number will fill this obligor watch all the episodes coming all your bases yeah pâtisserie watch you'll figure it out post you're smart you're
01:08:16| smart people and that's why we love you I've been getting a lot of mail from them recently it's like someone's spring I guess perfume well two pieces of paper and
01:08:27| setting them to me yeah it's kind of sexy and there's something that looks like blood Oh with the note you'll never find her so I don't know either way keep
01:08:37| sending your mail I do appreciate it it's kind of cool did have a letter opener no it's a letter or broken at the Bob someone's broken you know what I think
01:08:48| maybe this is your mail you may be sending a little reason address in a different state yeah address to somebody else wow that's so similar it's strange
01:08:59| unbelievably strange but are the chances so I have a would you rather please do and extra my home Flaming Lips song the AAA AAA yeah something like that yeah so if you could make everyone else poor
01:09:16| while you make yourself rich could you do it what about you doing no work while giving all the work that you do have to somebody else you force them do everything could do it
01:09:28| none what I got that's interesting because I listen uh I guess on entrepreneurs on how I built this with guy wrasse he goes through he started two years ago how I built this NPR and
01:09:43| he talks about almost nothing actually he lets the astronauts talk about it he went through a bunch of people that are surprising and I'm kind of curious which one I want to talk about first I'll talk
01:09:59| about the one that's the most interesting I say this is is this guy Tony sy he's the one who started Zappos I guess everyone knows about Zappos right yeah sure and he defined himself
01:10:11| as like a really like deep introvert and he ended up making like almost a billion dollars worth of Zappos and combining endings mmm did he sell Davos or he still has it I think he still has a
01:10:24| stake in it okay he didn't sell it off entirely well I think he sold it off but like remained fate who is his charity holder and he sold it to Microsoft but it was instead of being incorporated in
01:10:37| Microsoft he was allowed to make it his own entity and remotely he descended while making a man to her amazing million dollars or something on for the Microsoft not bad I found him
01:10:48| interesting because he was a typical because he was he defined his business as like most people would say like they're the tallest tree in the forest there the entrepreneur the CEO
01:11:00| like they look up to the tallest tree he said that's not my company you know I'm the greenhouse I'm the structure it like that built the greenhouse and all the plants inside of
01:11:11| it are my employees like I'm gonna let I'm gonna build this so that other people can thing with and they can be on showcase you know hmm and he was very different because he like he doesn't
01:11:22| seem like he cares about wealth and mostly the entrepreneurs don't they become really wealthy they sell their business and then they'll say I'm gonna live the American dream which is what
01:11:34| you live you go vacation on a beach somewhere in Mexico like maybe like they want nail oh sure drop it and that's a custom shirt it could be you know it is from a
01:11:51| famous film we should sell custom shirts kind of thin it's good idea yeah well I'm thinking about it I know it's from the famous film I'm sorry I know exactly what that beak is trash like Redemption
01:12:06| you're right already top it I don't know candy right yeah some people don't know doing it you're absolutely a lot of these entrepreneurs they make a whole bunch of money and the way they talk
01:12:16| about they're like I think it was like what 20 10 million I can't remember and they're talking to something like yeah something right and it's like out to us that amount of money is just absurd like
01:12:25| how could you forget that you made an extra million dollars on the deal and they're lazy it was I was picked up my base to show everyone like this is my prized possession - it kind of is
01:12:38| because I and it's boring out your house that's my other scenario okay if your house was burning down what would you take out of it three items uh not the base because do I have insurance for
01:12:53| that okay I discovered some renters insurance come on read my contract really quickly well I'm debating right now I'm thinking of it ahead of time I probably grabbed
01:13:03| my PC because like a video card is supervised I'm getting a power supply we'll see if that solves everything it doesn't well I'll be looking at 1080
01:13:14| spokes worthless you want to donate a it to this area not only that area three three three three your child is crying can't you like let me look at it the I whip over the papers they'd only
01:13:34| to page five I'm like quiet quiet wait is my kid not walk I mean he can walk I guess he could get out of burning building himself I want I will save it okay Christ at sea one of three marked
01:13:47| off two or three prior computer yeah and the third one might be the base I mean because what else has worked that much yeah all your podcast notes I wouldn't actually do you think that's at it could
01:14:00| be worth a lot in the future but this is worth a lot now if my son's were the pcs where I used to make the podcast I guess I guess I will allow that I could reverse make these notes folks I'd have
01:14:15| to watch all the episodes carefully and look with my eyes converted away from the paper I was like what I noticed about prison reform is that in 1983 I can recreate news do you want to hear
01:14:29| something really funny go ahead I have a list of notes from the first day we did a pug kids oh yeah did you note anything about me hold on one no one keep anonymous - no phones TV I know everyone
01:14:45| Stevie's three paranoid conspiracy and oh I don't butthole and fake information about us to survive it off our trail yeah I think we stopped caring about that around episode 12 well folks we're
01:15:13| millionaires you're not listening to job career and career we didn't even get into 19 bill things we could have I guess that's how this works I just want to say one more
01:15:27| thing please do so these entrepreneurs they please do they get it please I got a Polly so the expert matters touch their focus is not money like most of the people they have a drive
01:15:44| and they focus on doing something they create something or they do something and they they like it enough to drive to get it done and yeah and some of the guys that started something a lot of the
01:15:58| times like the Tony Tsai guy he started link exchange and then he brought in people that just corrupted the company and he sold it because of that reason but no one knew that at the time so like
01:16:09| him all the times your baby gets a little bit yeah a little bit questionable and then you have to you have to get rid of it thank you reeks so you Leonidas
01:16:22| yeah so a lot of these guys they sell off a company and then they're doing something on a beach three months later in their life man this Beach stuff is boring so they're driven just like it go
01:16:32| back and do the same thing start over again and that's how they work it's not like you get interesting debt is that people think I will work so hard and make so much money in retire on beach
01:16:45| you're kind of fooling yourself because if you work so hard for 13 to 14 to 20 years you're inclined to work so hard so how can you relax on the beach for eight weeks straight you can't if you made all
01:16:57| that length through working you will continue to work even if you made the money if you're lazy and you didn't make money you will continue to be lazy like there's it's just a person as a person
01:17:08| yeah and the time they put into something is what they become it's their personality so they can write change it ultimately working that way the umph Anders is discovered that literally you
01:17:20| become your most important money which is ton yeah you spend it doing X Y Z leisure guitar we need to be really good-looking you need to a podcast did you play bass and it's an expensive bass
01:17:34| like that's who you are yeah if you have do I just keep doing it you're gonna make yourself happy regardless no I'm applying for a real go so you're not happy no I'm happy I just I just need
01:17:45| the real top benefits that I am we didn't get into health insurance or 1k all that stuff I don't have any that future episode retirement geez I don't know if I'll be around by then that

00:02:15| here feel it I'd like to welcome you all today we're talking about jobs work and careers oh cool I have one of them yeah I think most work to everyone has a work or a career of her job which we had to
00:02:33| stand on that how I actually found a Wikipedia ninety one point nine percent of people have jobs really that's quite a lot actually uh-huh
00:02:45| even if that job is being a girlfriend being a boyfriend being a son a bitch a mother a child or a lover a sinner or a saint that's as far as I remember it Meredith something I thought it was a
00:03:03| lot more set but that would be absolutely I'll have to come back with a clarification or correction from this to that one from the last episode I'm the underdog episode I actually did
00:03:13| and I lost it everything on something that's a shit it's a damn shame it was something like the whole episode was wrong no it was it was right was glorious
00:03:25| it may even been about the miracle Mets in 1914 a lot of writings where people were very angry at me I hope that our mailing new letters and you're opening them up with a very delicate letter
00:03:39| opener only to find one already in the envelope competent blood a letter a letter opener in a letter an email a letter opener I guess you could be pretty cool at what point does that
00:03:54| become a knife some of them are crazy I don't my mind got dad had one that was like golden and looked like corn a pirate thing yeah that's too hard for me but it wasn't sharp I was like I know
00:04:11| you broke it Oh hand me down fighting what dragons all right pieces of wood someone named Mike he's probably bolt I don't doubt I figure he was let's get to the exciting topic of jobs
00:04:26| mmm talk about the beginning I stretching out my back to be honest we're really doing some kind of high school jobs if you have Twitter here my first job ever yeah um my dad worked at
00:04:46| a place we work now look it up hey they hunker we got all night American Eagle we own it um and I remember he didn't own it you just worked there he started work there when
00:05:01| he was 16 it was a piano place right they've repaired pianos her it's called burger or piano or something and my dad lived the block away and he was welcomed by and they're moving pianos and said
00:05:11| hey kid do you need a job help us move these pianos so they moved pianos I believe or helped move maybe it wasn't the pianos but help tear down the shop because they're moving everything out
00:05:22| cutter and then do guys who were moving in were two polish brothers and they were like hey good job moving stuff out do you want to absorb here it was like okay and he worked there and he's been
00:05:33| working there since that day who's his first job and his last job so far Wow a lot of people in America like that right now he owns it everything nail yet the the brothers actually let my dad the
00:05:45| money to buy his first house just straight up that's awesome right they charge him a little interest but was like 2% or something almost enough he couldn't have got that
00:05:54| from a bank right now especially at the time yeah so that's awesome but um anyway my dad's working areas old by the time I was like five or six or seven I can't remember he would work
00:06:07| half a day Saturday and like once a lot I would go in with him and just like carry gallons and stuff and put it on the shelf and he would pay me $5 every Saturday nice do you know what I would
00:06:18| do with that $5 if my dad was always really mad at me but I could tell he was trying to teach me a lesson but allowing me to have freedom and I didn't realize this till maybe this episode right now
00:06:27| PACA swisher Sweets really close and flare x-men cards is to buy x-men cards and they were five dollars a pack so after a full day of work me getting let palms all sweaty and
00:06:43| dirty and carrying 8 to 9 to 10 gallons for a whole day I don't want to show up I would go and buy x-men cards my dad would probably shake his head and go oh my god you always be like I just save it
00:06:56| saving money and I was like nope I need x-men card dad I need to know Wolverines gonna win and that was my first job $5 every Saturday so you need not every Lilly's a real big like do you have like
00:07:09| an allowance have anything that like your parents would constantly give you for chores or anything and that was five dollars a week and bogus I got five bucks a week for doing almost nothing
00:07:19| I'll just say I didn't just are anything okay okay it was like mmm that for now we'll do it for you Thanks thanks mom and dad the door I see that fiber but middle crest which what you do with your
00:07:39| fiber did you did you hold on to it oh yeah not so I heard this story you're going to waste it's part of my where I keep getting away so I get five bucks a week I save it I saved it till it was
00:07:52| like eight hundred something dollars and then I bought just stupid oh I knew it I knew it this came up a previous episode and drove me insane up to my boat especially
00:08:04| right as summer was coming right out of school hold on and then on top of that when you pop did a video game into your little linear systems you saved up for you
00:08:14| would play the game and save up all your money to the end of the level and buy up all the potions and extra swords and stuff so you were saving everywhere exactly I lived the game like I live my
00:08:24| life I'm sure lessly its I wouldn't like I'd like hit you know restart like I didn't say that penny I got to go restart to play through a nigga back there a throw
00:08:35| yeah plus I had like an old TV like a really really old TV and then a new TV so I could literally play both games at the same time you can you couldn't play both into the same Tunde I mean the
00:08:45| congenital you can hold the controllers huh in either hand Sega Genesis says all the buttons on like the one side I remember a bee say Iowa folks the dialogues you just hit ABC and
00:08:57| anything with the and yes if you'd gone through dialogues tweet was super any guess right so it was like XY a bid yeah yeah actually and l1 r1 can hear right yeah I wasn't a fan of action games
00:09:10| because I couldn't playable at the same time like I think we've already covered enough to give a lot of psychologists a lot of work today I got some problems yeah so do I um so middle class I don't
00:09:27| know right both of us I think yeah I'm middle class lower middle class I'm not middle middle class like tell me I'm strongly middle maybe a little up a little operate oh that's right okay okay
00:09:40| good oh no no it's a definition of opera middle classes it's probably not let's go by wicked deep I close it wouldn't go here it is okay maybe not oh between a hundred thousand and three hundred fifty
00:09:56| thousand so I mean it also it depends on the year to this changes year to year you might be looking at twenty eighteen definition you know what I'm saying this is yeah so it's gonna change your deep
00:10:07| let me in little girl bit then probably I don't know exactly how much my parents made but I bet it um it was in that range Oh Oh Dan I forget my dad told me what his paychecks were was it $75 a
00:10:22| week that's not very much well when he first was sixteen so put it in 1975 or something any like you should do not cost adjusted I I could be wrong it maybe it was 175
00:10:38| yeah no 75 ish tygo the value of $4,000 in 1979 it would be $15,000 a year and today's money it could be 16 year old oh no no I mean that they could be minimum wage minimum wage is like 755 federal I
00:10:58| think seven and a quarter seven recorder this is actually lower than you thought mmm so here hold on can you go I knew we brought it up we didn't actually answer the question what's your
00:11:11| first real job for sure the tax yeah like long times you get kids get working papers working pet we did yeah actually I don't know they still do that I have no idea
00:11:22| I think if you're under 16 until you won't be doing teeny-tiny he's under 18 probably 18 because I think I was 16 when I had the job and I had to get working papers I already had
00:11:32| a car so I must have been 16 at least so my first job my first job I was paid you have money for was running networking cable in an office building I don't for the entire job I got like three grand
00:11:45| and it was running like couple hundred lines so it was a really exhausting and it took like a month where did what did you actually do visit physically um did you have to use ladders and stuff to go
00:11:56| through the building and there's like a raised ceiling so it was like 12 maybe now what about when you got to a wall did you have to drill behind a wall and stuff or was there a hole there was
00:12:09| never a wall like this was completely good at there making a brand-new building okay interesting that was your guy that's exactly how I bought my first real computer because I
00:12:18| had that money and it went right into the computer do you know what you bought I'm really interested in this I know that sounds nerdy I have the case behind my desk but it hasn't an IBM or
00:12:29| something built it myself because that was how you can maximize how much money you could spend you build a computer at that age yeah yeah she used to be smarter what happened it drifts on
00:12:40| overtime boys and girls you better be an entrepreneur early in life because it's not gonna last no that's I didn't know that that's pretty badass I just felt my first
00:12:49| computer at 31 or something and I was scared the whole time I did it oh no I did I had weight and I had YouTube videos so how'd you do it I don't know actually I think I put it all together
00:13:01| because it it fits together a certain way and then when I turned it on I forgot something so it I was like just screaming at you like I got all sweaty nervous like this thing is gonna work
00:13:13| anymore I just I'm gonna kill myself but it was just the it was the thermal grease between the processor get pasted in all of the paste little thermal paste baby knows
00:13:25| immediately whether you're an amateur or not hmm so I worked at Freddy Hill Farms Oh I'm Emily free ice cream from Freddy he'll get your peanut peanuts or
00:13:46| sprinkles PS or sprinkles there did you say sprinkles okay down at the seam nuts yeah so the funny little joke we would play I made for 75 an hour during training which was two weeks long
00:14:01| that's Wow wait what hold on there's a reason I ever give this out no not at all and then it was five and a quarter hourly wait that was the minimum time the court said what surplus and the only
00:14:13| reason you can get away with 475 is if you call something a training period but what's crazy is your worker you're trained after like one session it was scooped a nice baby
00:14:24| it was always two weeks you trained for two weeks huh I don't think I'm ever happy training period in my jobs I had I worked at Target as a cashier I made 685 after a raise big ball or big bowler
00:14:39| which is the most boring job you could possibly do and you're not interested move around like you're supposed to like make sure that you don't have any customers and then not talk to any of
00:14:49| the other cashiers and stay in the same box cashier to this day is one of the worst jobs yeah my heart goes out to every cashier that's just sitting there mining
00:14:59| mind-numbingly scanning things it's brutal it can even make conversation with people because it's only a lie down and there's the worst is places that have a
00:15:07| line like a Wawa or something like that people always tapping their feet in agitated and you feel bad yeah and it's it's almost like they're angry at the cashier for not going faster even it's
00:15:16| like this fries we're doing this jerk that does that now it's a balloon written to check it all responding the comments below 69 cents let me just yeah this kid
00:15:31| I need his gums hot date so that was all this is the wrong flavor and let me go back can you exchange it for me in the cashier she's like yeah the funny thing about my first job for you oh is it
00:15:45| everyone worked there and I don't know if everyone worked there and I became friends with everyone or the cool thing about it being minimum wage job and within walking distance
00:15:58| don't be burping yep that's fantastic was I can I can get there and so could all these other young people because it was only people were 16 18 yeah it's like angry there's water ice almost yeah
00:16:11| a little bit and there was always the trauma there was love lines there were story lines there was like relationships or so and I know squares Pentagon's you name it and in a way it was a worst job
00:16:24| ever ahead but one of the best and we started actually hanging out near pretty hell because you could always that no matter who was working you knew them and they were gonna give you free ice cream
00:16:36| they're like it's Nick let me know I'll be like so like you get something free you could hang out like you could you've owned the place it was a little bit like hey you're gonna pay me minimum wage is
00:16:47| this shitty job but guess what I'm gonna use a system yeah you could do any of that at Target it was terrible even make friends with people because you weren't allowed to
00:16:56| talk to them and that's a corporation right there yeah corporate life and people do that for a living which is surprising considering or getting me back foot really come back we're gonna
00:17:07| talk about that yeah we are Leslie wants to move any other jobs that were interesting or weird did you ever serve yes well I'll talk about some Hollywood video one was the one I did a Hollywood
00:17:19| video stint at the same time I did the target one so I'd go back and forth because I was trying to rake in the cash like home 100 150 bucks a week there's no way in it you can be it's
00:17:30| doing that at all that's the stupidest thing I should never worked but um yeah Hollywood video one is much better because you get free reign and you also had cool people to talk to
00:17:42| with similar interest right like we're all about yeah I could have hung out with those people but I'm an introvert they older shy um some of them were but their attitudes were actually like teens
00:17:55| yeah so like think well those people probably you know I could hang out with them what I should watch a movie and there's lian and good movies obviously and the Thai movies three movies what's
00:18:09| crazy is there's always girls that work at those tech places too not that are attractive I know that how that happened yeah you don't need oh oh it's crazy I know it's like a meme or a popular joke
00:18:19| or it's like overdone they took out these muscles start working out last week fantastic yeah they thought so where's my definition I thought I was getting definition by today
00:18:28| I'm not we're gonna child being lifted anyway my body trying to lift me out of this sounds of shove your jaw childish man no but him to go to jail in fact of
00:18:50| women oh how some people watching this video whether its current Millennials I think on them are we Millennials not yet here we are technically around the fringe said bullcrap we're not really
00:19:01| like in between Millennials and exes or something we're a little older anyway there are people who literally have no idea what it's like that was store that rents video videos and video games
00:19:13| because whoa Hollywood man later this while we're in college so like three years later Hollywood vintage video didn't exist it well spot Buster the og the big one the I love that somebody
00:19:27| like some big mega corporate conglomerate bought how would video like two years after I worked there for like a billion dollars and like I read all this and it was out it's gone they just
00:19:39| lost two billion like oh I wish I do now we could mock them unless they're so popular it's almost like media play like places that sold CDs FYE all those places like CNN host was it
00:19:52| could be sungkoo's video bought a lot of things they were pretty big no I was something media Viacom yeah it wasn't I just the second episode used by calm as an answer that's pretty pretty good
00:20:07| niche use of a bike on right there and my pay was exactly the same of both of those jobs so I was my I was like can I please leave this target job to go work for the other phone cuz it's these can
00:20:19| be hard to people suggest movies so I worked as a server and there's something we always said I worked at on border cafe which is the best Mexican tex-mex hybrid is like food place you can go to
00:20:37| in like the East Coast I let's say I think there's three of them wow that's big they you know there's like um that's what I'm giving it there's like three of them in the United States or there were
00:20:48| when I work I could have expanded they could have all folded because they suck huh but up working in a restaurant was awesome I would agree with you her in
00:20:59| college I worked at a Pizza Hut which is the easiest and what did you do with the pizza pie dish everything because everyone there was a degenerate and they're so lazy so from where people
00:21:12| like getting high at work I probably they went out back I don't know how they did I was straight-laced at that point okay so my first see don't know okay I knew he's what we're doing stuff because
00:21:24| they were not acting normal okay and people were I could loopy etc this so wait you're answering the phone mm-hm answer the phone orders placed the order would be been delivering you didn't
00:21:35| deliver I did but I did that at the same time I was doing it being a waiter and so it was I was doing everything so they say delivery people see something wired weird kind of weird stuff see anything
00:21:48| uh no suburbs nothing too crazy no but you make a lot of money as a delivery driver actually and be like I would make I think I mean so I was as a waiter
00:21:59| you know this you're a tipped employee so you make what to something I was like yeah it's a two nine five or 255 so weird tell me a small amount of money and with
00:22:08| tip it was probably more like ten bucks hold on our there's something I didn't realize so I hope the government's listening please government be listening to me
00:22:19| so worked as a restaurant guy your tips are all cash almost all cash yep the way our restaurant did it is they you put everything into the computer it said
00:22:32| what you owed for every meal and I owed for every meal I didn't have to put my money into a register at all and then credit cards took off for that number because credit cards go right into the
00:22:42| computer system so at the end of the night if I had 40 people I served or 20 people I served and tips that said they expected a number from me so it would be like you owe two hundred ninety-eight
00:22:54| dollars to put $473 well hold on no no just four I owed the the restaurant huh for the meals they didn't I didn't pay for the meals at all so anytime like they were $70 worth of food and they
00:23:08| tipped me $15 right I take $85 I put it in my pocket and that's it I move on the next table they give all this is there for the computer right right so the whatever the
00:23:20| difference is I keep they don't know and any credit card knocks the number down because you know core goes right against the number anyway mmm at the end of the night they be like
00:23:30| you owe eight hundred and thirty dollars and I'd have like a thousand dollars of cash in my pocket so I'm exaggerating or maybe I'm right I can't remember so I give them their number and I keep
00:23:40| everything else could be a hundred dollars could be 40 dollars could be three hundred dollars who the hell knows that's what kind of night at and always the managers were always like what do
00:23:50| you declare for the night tips wise keep in mind to declare ten percent of what you made or what you handed in and I'll really say and I was like uh and I would tell them the real number right before
00:24:03| my kids yeah hold on I didn't I didn't understand and they were like and then they wait and they repeated the question they're always like you only have to declare ten percent and I was like yeah
00:24:13| $380 something okay and they would write it down so I did this for like a month they have two months like damn why didn't I act so weird and he's like what did you tell him and I'm
00:24:23| like I tell them what I really make he's like idiot who worked with me he's like just tell him 10% uh-huh well number is just lie them so I started lying after that so we're good because it gets
00:24:36| reported back to the federal government and they want another tip to me is that you're here it come so they got me for like six weeks Congrats IRS sucked me off okay I would
00:24:46| only record the stuff that was on the credit card transactions because the cash could never betray they said the credit card transactions always had to be reported but because it was all lump
00:24:55| figured you know yeah I think 10% is a low portion of the minimum wage so it's like required by law to put just to be taxed 10% over a certain income level and you're probably meaning that so
00:25:08| alright I guess it's a second sniff on top the instead do you have to pay for the deal I've never had people stiff me against they never sprinted out of the restaurant or no hey I've never had it
00:25:21| hmm that's terrible though how much did the like $100 meal that ruins like you know it was only at $60 but like I mean where am I now um you had to pay for the meal but
00:25:33| my manager was like really nice that night and she liked me so she was like well we'll cover the meal but you're getting me again a tip obviously I was like okay thank you like so I mean it
00:25:43| was kind of cool billing if they have it all time they'd be like you're officially hold on some weird shit happens to Mexican tex-mex restaurant oh yeah visible I 95 okay
00:25:56| time was the big ruse on front room everything hold on so it's a big blue sign says eat 1295 people come here from all walks of life because it's so it's a main thoroughfare of i-95 just everyone
00:26:11| comes my buddy Dan one of my best friends from college he worked there across the college so he's working when i am i closing and i think a guy came in at like 9:50 on a night where they
00:26:22| closed at 10:00 and he comes in and everyone's like do that little a bit you look weird right but at the same time you want to close down you're ready to shut the kitchen down everything
00:26:33| he ordered a steak it takes too long to fry cook that thing up takes 10-15 minutes at least so hold on this guy's weird he's acting shady everyone's keeping an eye on now everyone in the
00:26:46| restaurants a lot except for him he's hunched over in a trench coat like just sitting over his plate waiting for his meal we start seeing the steak and he gets up and walks in the bathroom it's
00:26:57| my buddy dance table now so he walks up and he's like the matter he's like you know that that weird dude he swapped to the bathroom I don't know where he's going oh he's doing he came out of the
00:27:06| bathroom with his trench coat covering his whole body and was like you know buddy people know me I'm the cutter people call me the cutter and Tim was like cut ah I just wanna know if you're
00:27:18| done with your meal I got a we gotta check this out with a meal I'm the best at my manager and he goes over big tells his manager when they came back like this guy was come on and he only ate
00:27:28| three bucks of his steak and he didn't pay for anything and and to this day no one knows what he was talking about like he's the Condor I'm the cutter people called me the cutter like a panic cutter
00:27:38| but wasn't it was gone huh so my other buddy Wild Bill who was there that night had another night where he's working one of the last ships real heavyset couple I'm talking like 400 pounds each they
00:27:54| order their craft they do whatever I said the size of the booth they out they order the food they do the thing where uh guy disappeared for a little bit and maybe going bathroom I don't know them
00:28:05| comes back they paid they tips everything's fine at the end of the night you have to check like meter everything's good right silverware roll-ups
00:28:14| make sure there's no food on the floor you don't want any kind of animals and then you check the bathroom fix the bathroom oh my god he comes to the manager just
00:28:23| manager I think that big guy I think he pooped he said the discussing did its washes he said I did it will go down oh and we had the the commercial toilets like your
00:28:36| same one who's a boy our decaying double one so the manager came in and tried to flush it and he couldn't flush it and no one complexion so you know it comes next
00:28:46| broom kübra night Gotti's a poop night dude you gotta grab that bad boy and two three four pieces the restaurant and I think it is well the manager had two
00:29:02| album because it was it's like is it a sanitary thing give you anything like gloves they don't protect you from that poo poo splash I can tell you stories for just restaurant stories are some of
00:29:13| the best cuz they're like they're so just like some earthly you know everyone has like everyone has meals everyone has like friends and the way people interact in restaurants is just different yeah
00:29:25| it's different especially one that serves alcohol we served alcohol so it like it helps it lightens makes everyone crazy they had like famous some margaritas
00:29:36| whatever we like fifteen different kinds of margaritas one night I had a table of um like eleven women older women I'm talking like 40-plus that's my
00:29:46| wheelhouse yeah I'm flirting with him I'm having fun on lap and it was like a $300 tab and he left me like once a hundred bucks we're just way over but like you know it was a big night like
00:30:00| whatever so an hour goes by and I thought holy crap dude did they give me too much looking at my stuff from going on with my numbers she came back in the doorway
00:30:12| an hour later the main woman and she was like Nick I think we made a mistake and I was like yeah I'm thinking uh gave me too much and she handed me 40 more dollars and said I hope we left
00:30:29| enough and I said no you're good and she said take this this is the best night of tips of my life I didn't have to dance take off my clothes $140 and you'd answer verbally though I bet I probably
00:30:42| did and I love those ladies like I like solid you know give them I'll give them a lap dance so close-up dance I love them my age range is opposite doors not by perfect oh yeah there's a table of it
00:30:59| probably like third Jeanne year olds and 12 like for smells jarred combo yeah so they they pay for their meal and they gave me a little bit of tip a
00:31:09| surprising tip for like 12 13 year olds right they do good that's Taylor Isaac they left a note on the table that said like my name's Taylor call me at and then like this is my number and I was
00:31:22| like what the heck so I was reading it and as I was reading out here giggling and it was like they sat in the corner so Louie never waited at the quarter window and they're all
00:31:32| laughing at me they're all like it was what I've ever seen and no I did not call them I say nailed her 22 mm-hmm what about people that like at the time I was going to school I graduated with
00:31:56| an engineering degree so I had people that were like they knew I was going to college and they like hewill extra so you can take care of yourself yeah yeah yeah they do that that's a real claim
00:32:06| and the weird thing the weird thing was that it was a woman it was a girl thank you second her 20s and her mom and it was towards the end of my my period there but in the beginning they always
00:32:18| came as a triplet with a guy who I guess was dating a girl so towards the end I dam was trying to push her on me and me on her and Dawn he'd go on and son but they only took me an extra 10 bucks and
00:32:30| I was like I think in a hell yeah thanks sweetheart yeah thanks I appreciate it a little bit the only thing I'll wrap up restaurant off with is that um actually can I do two things I want to tell the
00:32:47| story about the so we had real flame there were these like candles that were in these glass boxes that we're all around and made it look like it was well no no they were like around the
00:33:00| restaurant they were like eight feet high or whatever but they made it look like they're real lamps didn't mean like your app though and Mexican restaurant not a real flame though it was a real
00:33:10| flame it was in case I think there's propane gas online prior right that way into it from behind no big deal so I never I've seen these things for like seven weeks 10 weeks 13 weeks but I
00:33:21| never had to open because my shifts were always late today so one day I'm opening on a Saturday because I'd off I was like I give me extra money where and they're like Nick like the things I was like I
00:33:32| never did it and they're like it's pretty easy they showed me the first one they're like there's three panes of glass three panes of glass right one two three and in the back it's open you can
00:33:42| just like that we give you a lighter and you light it make sure the gas turns on light it easy so I said this is easy stupid easy I've brought a chair one into two minute
00:33:53| three to four so good for like the fifth one there's only like eight in the whole place I get on my chair I turned on the gas line just like I did all of them and I reach around the pack and I was like
00:34:02| what the hell I was like it's glass at the back I was like all the others are open in the back so I tried the left it's got glass I tried that front it's got glass and try to right it's the
00:34:13| glass something in yo this one's glass all over they're like the glass things slide out idiot and I was like oh well how do you do it and they were like pick it up
00:34:22| slide it out it comes out I was like and I just put it back yeah put it back I think that's pretty easy mm-hmm all right slide it up it's been like two minutes now this glass box is
00:34:34| filled with ink of I left the line the whole time and then I slid it up and I just went light like a fireball goes into singed my eyebrows my hair right here and knocked me off the chair and I
00:34:48| was like oh my god today one see that and their rooms like are you okay I was like yeah yeah I guess so I can smell burnt hair overarm and like it really angel I like what that happens because
00:35:01| it on to shave really feels true three forearms you shave your forearms well I mean they get pretty bushy I'm not gonna I don't know if you have that you know you're chopping in this is this
00:35:14| is after a fresh shave sushi you see new forms no no just trim not [Laughter] anyway oh sorry what I wanted to do is
00:35:28| wrap up restaurant um when I work there on a I got really good at tipping be anytime I pulled up to a red light now from now on it still affects me to this day
00:35:41| I pull up to a red light I'm looking at the car next to me and the guys revving his engine I'm like this guy's an asshole looks like he kept pretty good though
00:35:49| blue even babe and then sometimes I pulled to a red light and I look over and like you tipped like 10% exact you suck and it's weird I break people into those two
00:36:01| groups now and it I never did that before I work there and it's hard to explain who I think does and who doesn't it's weird it really limits whether you really do
00:36:09| like back-breaking work for somebody because you see people that you think you know you're a table of ten and you're doing everything and the kid drops something you got you you know
00:36:19| pick it up I got it yeah hello would you for all my god I'll get that in a second you want ketchup that's great I asked you earlier but you weren't catching now okay I gotcha
00:36:26| Jenni tipper yeah that's where narrows your range of the view of the human race and it's feared because you also don't know during the meal who's gonna be a shitter tipper yeah so you're helping
00:36:37| them like super you're like ah I got you yeah I got you bro and then at the end you're like fucking piece of shit I'm gonna break that slicker up on the toilet oh man the one thing about the
00:36:52| wait waiter drops is that they actually paid you cash like having cash in your pocket completely no cash you've you feel that and you notice it and you want to do something with it it's hard not to
00:37:04| do cuz like you have to go to the bank and deposit it what that doesn't make sense any job that deals with cash is a different type of job so you can
00:37:13| actually feel money increasing you do it's not like having to go to your bank account where it's just a number the number just changes you're just like right hundo percent agree now what would
00:37:27| you say about those those are jobs not career usually definitely because you don't increase your work worth over time if you have knowledge or something that can be put
00:37:36| another job you can take more for it that's a career well I don't have a career but I'm working towards one now you're talking to a guy who just put together a beautiful resume
00:37:47| I put together it's the best you guys should see it it's it's gorgeous it has all these keywords it's got this it's got that it's got buzzwords it's got pop it's a beautiful format it's gorgeous
00:38:02| it's got my name in bold here it's got my LinkedIn profile it's I really think we could hire at any second huh so where are you putting it mark you've heard of it yeah anyway I'm just
00:38:16| hoping I get hired before they see any of my videos fine like Twitter or find my find anything I - they need they need anyway so like zip recruiter if you heard a zipper cruder before yeah I know
00:38:30| it's improved a bit in patched to it at all but that's my routine when I go to the bathroom I'm just boop boop boop apply to all these different jobs and none of them ever respond I think in the
00:38:41| beginning I actually got responses because they didn't have like a background on me but now I think they like Know Who I it isn't it live I don't trust it it is I don't know whose video
00:38:51| but there's probably a company out there that will like do a background check and I pull up all ridiculous stuff that you've done no he said that he really loves be pppppp
00:39:01| and that's like what what is BBB beautiful women with blue eye shadow can't have this guy here so hold on wait on with zip recruiter but I thought that was the opposite I thought that was an
00:39:16| employer tool for attracting employees not the other way around how is that any different than applying to a job an employer really a year or two oh I guess mmm I guess both parties
00:39:31| have to use it yeah is it recruiter intensive like a thousand different jobs but I think you get marginalized because the amount of people that probably apply versus
00:39:40| there's probable that are pure bullshit that make them sound fantastic we're gonna all right climb through this little shit to get right so hold on let's talk about professional
00:39:49| jobs because I don't have one technically so let's assign it why don't shred one is the question she went to college you picked a degree based on what I had biology and I
00:40:01| figured being a bio major working for Merck was okay but like mm-hmm so I really wanted to write for the Flyers if we were to be honest where did you graduate with English journalism so you
00:40:13| want white biology oh because I was good at biology originally and I took a urine a year and a half of biology I did all the courses the only hard one was organic ken that was a bitch difficult
00:40:25| oh yeah we tell you that I should have just stuck with it and got the degree because then I can get job build whatever but I agree well I might he might heard that at the time is most
00:40:35| most eighteen year old reality now I mean and then I thought because I'm also a really good writer it doesn't show when I do a podcast or who asked me to do a transcript or something but I could
00:40:49| write like a mother I have the only ten in a class damn event he knows he still thinks about ten doesn't exist he's full of shit anyway I thought like Dan if I get right for like the Flyers or the
00:41:01| Eagles or something really cool like that's what I wanted to do be a reporter that was like always with the team and don't fluff pieces and writing a big story about how its epic it changed the
00:41:11| history I changed everything maybe a read a book like a maybe a piece on someone who's dying who's like the greatest player of all time that's that's what I wanted to do with my life
00:41:22| I until I realized that everyone and their mother does writing for free now and it's only goddamn Internet so I wasted my goddamn time marginalized I have a friend who does exactly that for
00:41:33| the Houston Chronicle and how they do they like it or they like it because they are there like a little bit like you a pure writer that they just like writing but they only make a bit like 40
00:41:45| maybe 50 so it's like Shane working hard too and it's Lloyd you better hope to hell your paper doesn't go under any papers friggin yeah I mean you've got to be at the prime one and I think she is
00:41:57| but new to make real money you have to be either like New York or la and then everything in between is kind of questionable right it's a weird thing in a stupid decision on my part
00:42:09| and my parents decided to help me out with my first semester of college everything else is on me so I signed up for three and a half years of out of state tuition yeah so the financial
00:42:22| aspect was not even on your mind you weren't projecting I was going to teach your team everyone everyone signed it up for this let's do it you're only allowed to drink when you're
00:42:35| impact negatively on yourself at 18 let's see it's been 10 years it was a seventeen year pale dishes and you can't go bankrupt because you still have to pay in bankruptcy really I didn't think
00:42:50| that I've been paying unstop not to get depressed I could feel the sadness in your voice I know right on it's just dropping a little bit quick shut up Sally many it everyone works her died
00:43:03| I'd feel really bad um boatsman I did get I did get parents all fed cosign shoutouts all it took but anyway I think a lot of people I just read an article yesterday apparently do
00:43:20| you do the Google News thing yeah yeah I looked at the feed swiped a little bit to the far side and it shows me everything that Google recommends sighs why would I read or and I do mosun s--
00:43:29| listen it's pretty good pretty good Google I have faith in you okay throw a lot of like a surges of you what am I one of my search results is always student loan debt and I'm like I haven't
00:43:43| I haven't googled that in like eight years why do you keep bringing it up up what I'm always interested in the story I'm like I have a goal that what is this and I just read one today that said uh I
00:43:53| think this generation like the the ones that just came out of college now are more debt than anyone ever before that makes sense because numbers responding just penniless up and it's and the worth
00:44:06| is going down isn't it yeah I mean most people they didn't get a prime degree than they're stuck doing a job where they pay very little thirty or forty K which you could have
00:44:17| gotten doing not college yeah not getting the loans not getting that loan so I guess was just crazy this crazy what's the what's the end goal it's like you for who for any
00:44:29| individual dollars like going to college who's trying to make money trying to get money get more time well there's two lines of thought I I went to a prestigious high school that told me
00:44:40| higher education was always better and I do in my heart of hearts I actually believe that more education is better but I what I will say is the money that I paid for my higher education probably
00:44:54| not worth it I could have gotten that just doing podcasts on each subject and prepping before each podcast probably and talking about it but now this is different we should open this as a call
00:45:06| we'll teach you how every time I would have yeah but name is doesn't think this didn't exist when we started college like knowledge about the outside world and other people's perspective zero no
00:45:19| it did it did change I actually think up at college bubble will burst I think it will to I think there'll be some sort of online certified course will destroy the the knowledge base of colleges and then
00:45:31| they will be in conversation kind of piece that two professors could harm professors of podcasts torial knowledge I don't know you're onto something like podcast geniuses yeah could teach you
00:45:47| professor Oriole knowledge for price you can come with the show for uprights folks you heard it here first you can be a nun panda right once you graduate unpin de right you're guaranteed to get
00:46:02| a job somewhere we can't tell you where but for the right price it's probably worth it and we're not pandering so you've insinuated that you have a job and it doesn't pay what you want you
00:46:15| didn't say what it is exactly you define it right now for the for the viewers which one my job now yeah I'm a deliveryman person yeah how to be sexist you sexist pig it's the same didn't the
00:46:31| delivery men cuz man is different the men delivered umm I deliver things I do sales calls I buy things and I move boxes all day it's a family thing don't help him with a family business it's not
00:46:50| doing too well I figure without me it kind of puts a lot of pressure on someone I'm related to that's my father that's tough forward it would it would physically hurt him I think like he
00:47:03| would have to move twice as many boxes at his age and another thing you would write physical labor so like that first job I had was doing wiring like it was exhausting I'd come
00:47:15| home and be beat same thing I being a cashier and standing up all the time the a gentleman talked about that just because you don't move doesn't mean it's not hard work it's hard so you can only
00:47:25| do that really for maybe 10-15 years before it really starts to drag on you and a lot of people maybe stand money doing like I could have done the networking wiring thing for time this
00:47:37| age and then he would have been us I'd be cooked I wouldn't be able to do anything and I'd be like well now I got to go back to school I thought I haven't used my brain in 15 years all right
00:47:48| a brutal would that be well I'll put it up put it this way not to change subjects but you're kind of on to it it's hard for someone who hasn't been in the system at the right time to change
00:48:00| careers to change past you're a target cashier for 10 years you're let's say you're a genius and then you decide hey I'm going to get that chemical engineering degree well you really have
00:48:12| to pay for it you really can't go to college to do it these probably have a kid or something or a wife or you have to pay your bills so now you're taking online courses and then at the end of
00:48:23| the online course you may have a certification I'm not sure if you do it doesn't stack up quite as well as someone who's 20 starry-eyed and willing to work for way less yeah you have that
00:48:35| foolishness that you just will drive through things and expect to pay out what maybe six years away if you start cooperating right that just is it no it doesn't
00:48:46| happen as a person who pays bills and stuff yeah especially got a family or a girlfriend or a wife or a kid like that that sort of stuff we'll just there's no way to call it for that they call it
00:48:57| they call it the golden handcuffs so when I first started looking for a different job six years ago and then I kind of stopped my cold guy who was a headhunter he was like hey you know you
00:49:07| can get a job doing X Y & Z you can do this commission basis it says they told me like all these things I could do my head was swimming and he's like but um you make good money and I was like I
00:49:17| mean I make good money for what I do I shouldn't make this much you know doing physical labor etc etc deliveries and he was like let me tell you that the golden handcuffs off cool buddy I don't know
00:49:28| you wear a date hello what you want to do to me but uh are you attractive if I'm talking about uh he told me um if you're paying X on your mortgage X on your car payment X on Netflix X on he
00:49:43| didn't say Netflix I may give this up but you have payments you do every month they're based on what you make let's say you want to change your career so I wanna be a chemical engineer I mean all
00:49:52| I have to do is work with this shit shop for like two years at 30,000 and then I get a bump to 40 and then maybe 50 together and then 16 then I have room for growth well do you have to keep in
00:50:02| mind can you afford to take the pay cut for four years or two years I there called golden handcuffs I know your job shittier doesn't have a big future but if it pays all your bills and your
00:50:14| alternative is less money we're gonna do about your mortgage what are you gonna do about your car payment or you really use 39 you're 42 whatever you are are you willing to take a pay cut to further
00:50:27| your career later in life like it's hard to do that at 40 yeah most people think about the now and if they can't take care of them now and what's the point it's too high to in here what if you did
00:50:38| start taking on some of the debt and etc etc at 40 and then you found out you got cancer at 45 and then wait and you didn't even finish the schooling you imagine it and you're like well and you
00:50:51| already quit the job that was making a little more but like you know now you don't have that job you do not even finish the schooling you're kind of frayed that's frightening
00:51:01| but I don't think it's pulled it off I honestly couldn't if I didn't go to have it was a weird thing the other thing to bring up is um what we can get into is that I work in poor black communities
00:51:13| that's where 90% of my deliveries are it's where my family grew up it's where everything happens so when I deliver to places I have on abused women homes that are some of my big customers there's a
00:51:27| place that houses women and children who don't have money for housing of their own like that's a big customer of mine you know when I talk to the people there or that work there
00:51:38| I hear crazy stuff and I can hardly believe it do you know what the poverty line is in Pennsylvania at least say it's like per individual it's probably like what thirteen thousand twelve
00:51:49| thousand it's they do it by two people so if you 250 a house it's fifteen five that's deep enough you live on that hold on money or something even freaking crazier so the poverty line is fifteen
00:52:04| thousand five hundred and sixty nine dollars right if you're below that it's poverty like you poor so you know what the minimum federal wages in Pennsylvania it's seven and a quarter so
00:52:15| that's about fifteen thousand it's fifteen even almost it's like 1505 so if you work a minimum wage out for 40 hours a week from full year you aren't even meeting the poverty line if you're
00:52:30| working for you and your wife yeah and I don't even know if you're getting benefits or time off you probably don't get any of those perks so this is even bigger so I talked to everyone I talked
00:52:38| to everyone in debt there are several if not eight if not ten if not fifteen programs and Pennsylvania alone of what we call welfare everyone can talk about welfare all they want to have no clue
00:52:51| what it really ultimately boils down to they have a tan which is temporary assist for the needy families they give you up to five years they'll give you money depending on your family situation
00:53:05| there's snap which is literally based on food some supplementary nutrition assist program right that's the one that they'll give you money if you make under
00:53:15| a certain amount and it changes based on your family basis they give you a certain amount and they say put it on your EBT card and you have to use that card anywhere that accepts EBT money not
00:53:27| just anywhere like I know Wawa does I assume what what does I made well because they're a big corporation you can only buy certain things right correct then there's like this is like
00:53:38| LIHEAP which is on well it's that same low income low income Home Energy Assistance Program so during the winter and if you can't afford to heat your own home they will pay you for heat during
00:53:53| months like XYZ XYZ like they make the month September October November but it's only on like households that has like a mother and two children and you have to include the social security
00:54:04| number of everyone who live there and include your income and they figure out if you're worthy of it boom you're good I really even some know about this stuff it's complicated I don't even know if
00:54:16| it's a fairy it's very complicated and I also delivered a lot of welfare offices to their toilet paper and favorite house and I see it's crazy sometimes you see people who look like they have plenty of
00:54:26| money and there's sometimes people who they gotta bring their kids they have the random four kids to the welfare office because they can't leave them at home if they need the money and they're
00:54:34| walking here cuz they'd all have a car and they can't afford insurance I see crazy stuff and one time I was talking to a guy outside and he said um he was on welfare he was on abuse and I don't
00:54:48| know which we was snap I don't know and he they gave him it was it at thousand a month I don't remember what they gave him the month but uh he tried to get a job at like a best food place making
00:55:02| minimum wage which we discussed was seven mcclure after he worked for forty hours a week for four weeks he got money for his family because he wanted to get off welfare he wanted to his thing he
00:55:15| made X dollars after what the exact number was he told me I was like 1300 it was 2,100 may lose or dollars I honestly camera brains another year the map no no for the month for the
00:55:27| month right that was like 20 dollars lower than his paycheck was from welfare for not working like he said at that point he cuz you know taxes can that yeah there's no point he was like this
00:55:41| he was like I quit the next day I was done like the only means money you just have to prove that you're trying to apply to new jobs right exactly but like how crazy is that like he's trying to do
00:55:54| something here and he can make more money not working and I'm not saying you shouldn't give money to people who need the money I'm saying maybe we should raise the minimum wage because do you
00:56:06| know what we talked about minimum wage earlier how tell Sarah Anna Corbin dollars at California are they up to 11 good and California but there's two problems that arise though one minimum
00:56:17| wage should be raised minimum wage jobs like um flipping burgers as they say which is a pantheist job cashiers as they say it was just a pain in this job we just discussed this they're designed
00:56:27| for what kids coming out of grade school getting into the workforce world you get your feet transitional right all right what ends up happening is people like 38 have to take that job who have no line
00:56:43| of work right now yeah they're falling down they have to try and survive with their family on that job and I pay that's like you're you're kind of asked cuz that that's not even the poverty
00:56:56| line but on the other hand but on the other hand if you paid everyone who flipped burgers given that example oil look down on that and said to $15 an hour let's say well
00:57:06| let's say they don't weigh just $15 an hour now right have you a good number right come on out raise up well yeah yeah I mean now you gotta pay a worker $15 an hour to do
00:57:18| your menial work you've lost all your profits so all businesses will go out of business yeah they should rally incentivize people to become more educated and then
00:57:28| maybe they'll get more educated jobs but again unless they got education cost you forty thousand dollars a year sure sure it's a weird mix yeah I don't know the answer
00:57:38| I'm not trying to claim the answer I just know I work in the poor communities and I see some weird stuff let's recap the some of those assistance programs because people might is like okay
00:57:48| usa.gov slash benefits did you go pensive agent not and click mean where are will do USA so that got ta NF tamp is the welfare or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
00:58:02| he had the snap which was what was it was a supplemental nutrition assistance program okay here the LIHEAP which was yeah yeah so y'all low-income Home Energy Assistance
00:58:13| Program and then there's chip there's church with Children's Health Insurance Program mm-hmm so like those four things are gonna help somebody out and if they infinite all fall upon this podcast and
00:58:23| listen to those things go to Lewis eight our code that slash benefits because that can help you immensely I'm good thank you didn't know beforehand please know now yeah and I mean you get stuck
00:58:36| in this weird cycle where you can't benefit from anything you do really honestly it's not at all it's the system's telling you just to stop doing anything because it's most beneficial
00:58:44| just to make the amount of money you need to at the moment I heard a real real depressing tweet today I didn't hear it because I didn't read all that oh yeah I saw do you know how most um
00:58:56| old people like 78 milder or like conservative Republicans and they're always like crouching never have a the average right yep it's because poor people who are usually
00:59:09| democratic and liberal don't live to that old that's fine I thought that's not true and it was like I don't know if poor health insurance will both die before they even reach so it's great
00:59:19| they have poor lives in general right yeah I did read that like heart issues are more prevalent in the African American community oh hell yeah because they will listen if
00:59:31| you can go to I almost said Wendy's but checkers and buy a burger for two dollars and then fries or drink is like four dollars five dollars as opposed to spending eight
00:59:43| dollars on the raw materials and actually spending an hour cooking them yeah I'm gonna buy the cheaper stuff to help no but I mean you've always been behind
00:59:51| somebody in the checkout line that is buying ridiculous junk food because it's cheap cheap it is really cheap and it probably is not nutritionist but I not great for your help but you don't feel
01:00:03| hungry so you're gonna spend money on something you might as well get as many calories out of it as possible right cheese yeah government cheese is a real thing
01:00:14| my friend's dad used to make fun of it all the time really yeah did Nick sound like it's government cheese and I was like I don't know what that is it's probably a jerk
01:00:25| racist but I don't even know the guy but I'm sure no I don't want to know easy although he he did he's the funniest guy in the world I can't do a whole episode on let's go back to it alright let's
01:00:42| talk about averages like incomes by state so median half maybe in the house come pulled it I didn't look this up at all good I like this stuff so like Pennsylvania the median household income
01:00:56| middles 55,000 is that couples or just household household so I mean that's pretty low that's pretty low yeah that's a house I think that Texas is literally right behind it by like hundred bucks 50
01:01:08| bucks huh so it's a weird thing because I earn more than that as an individual right not not to mention household right yeah so it's like you try to think about how life would be if you had your salary
01:01:24| cut back to that your household income cut back to that and I don't think it would work like I I think I would need assistance in my current life or I'd have to downgrade til it's something
01:01:34| that just doesn't seem imaginable right change your car paint your house change your mortgage change what you buy a grocery store it changes everything yeah it's a ripple effect that would go
01:01:44| through my entire life percentile people are in if they're making a certain amount and this is individual so if you're right at 50 percent right in the middle of the
01:01:58| entire economy you're making about thirty eight thousand bucks it might be you United States in the United States that's the 50% line yeah right in the
01:02:09| middle but that includes some people there's about you see about 7% of people making less than $3,500 so that's probably like okay so like the children and people right people who aren't
01:02:21| working okay home it's still crazy it's still go all right hold on what's the top 1% in America I have the number of running me actually I'm looking at it I don't know if that number is reliable
01:02:32| I'll today the top Piper since its 2018 okay what's the top five it's about 150 grand weird I have honored 67,000 it was a little higher than what I said sure I mean mine's 2018 by Wikipedia so who
01:02:46| knows how is 20 reliable so maybe the inflation okay so hold on so top 1.5 percent make 250,000 and up that's just insane it's the only thing that you could make in on yours
01:02:59| enough to retire yeah hold on let me so the bottom 10% bottom 10% make zero to ten thousand five hundred dollars yep top three top ten percent there's my top
01:03:14| ten percent is a hundred and ten thousand dollars minks so top ten percent makes 10 times as much almost exactly yeah then the bottom 10 percent mm-hmm so pretty hugely it is hmm we'll
01:03:33| say the gap isn't getting better before we get super depressed because I feel like we're going down a road where we just keep saying sad numbers yeah I do want to say I brought something back
01:03:42| for this week because it's kind of special to our hearts you may remember it's one of our big things from bringing it back this week it's really important it's the celebrity show we have another
01:03:58| challenge is a long time I know and this one's really important because it allows the children so real quick everyone at home knows there's two things that are really big in Hollywood as a media right
01:04:10| now I'm going to hear them sure everyone knows it's Axl Rose with the new comes in Rose came out come on bill ban Govinda tell us about it come on man he's good he's
01:04:21| gonna pop on high so good he's probably he's probably quite chomping at the bit and number two Zach Braff is making a big comeback with his new hit show podcasting that's not the name of the
01:04:33| show but it's about podcast Oh I'm calling it well I'm calling it I have no clue what it's called but he has a whole new sitcom about podcasting I think it got cancelled but it was pretty
01:04:43| good showing up how do you spell it I mean it's a helluva word Zach Braff anyway I want to challenge them to clean toilets sounds gross right who can clean it the most the best fault line no
01:05:03| legitimate and chop Children's Hospital Philadelphia we're gonna do it for the children and we're gonna raise money we're gonna raise up to $100 we will match whoever wins and we actually will
01:05:17| be the teammate for each of you you can pick whether you want Axl or you won Zach then come when Zach because he's like beautiful blue guy yeah and we're gonna do a bacterial swab and
01:05:27| whoever has the least amount of bacteria wins okay cool I like that I think that's reasonable it is so Axl or Zach gets back to our camp think sonic has an advantage
01:05:40| because he was on a medically oriented show called scrubs he does but Axl has been dealing with shit holes for a year I mean it's a little sided out oh you know we'll see
01:05:55| how it works but that's the shout-out celebrity challenge today and that was like a pick-me-up so let's get back to ya jobs but we can sum it up by saying minimum wage is not for adults and it
01:06:08| has become for adults yeah let's talk about the top percent because everyone loves them right I like the 1% I actually am friends with most of the 1% there's like
01:06:20| and I'm friends with all of them so here's my awesome fact counselor via written it's on our edit page okay never been wrong or the serial killer thing have you heard that
01:06:29| no game after that what zero killer thing Jack the Ripper there's an AI thing I'm designed to read I think they forced it to watch people dying oh no I saw some stuff like that
01:06:44| and so then they gave a Rorschach test and stuff afterwards and it was strictly a reddit thing and it said it's all this is someone dying of gunshot wound this is someone being stabbed in a dome
01:06:58| machine or this is someone getting murdered by their friend and like hey I was supposed to look at all this stuff and read it and it became a psychopath Oh
01:07:07| shat out reddit you build the best Psychopaths I mean you do other stuff good too I think no but I mean that's pretty good that's something yeah they provided me
01:07:18| with this awesome fact and what's the fact LeBron James who's probably the one of the most wealthiest of decimal players Oh basketball player yeah I know when he was 18 he was offered ten
01:07:30| million by Reebok to take a deal huh and he said no I'm probably gonna make more money later yes he did cocky eighteen year old he made ninety million with Nike imagine making that
01:07:44| much money in a deal early on so Allen Iverson you look this one up he did a long-term deal didn't he say if you did you might still be me might still be making money or I felt like and it was
01:07:57| like 15 years removed where he was like bankrupt but that was a genius move on his part shiny no hmm yeah that's in a previous episode you need to rewind all the way
01:08:07| back to episode number will fill this obligor watch all the episodes coming all your bases yeah pâtisserie watch you'll figure it out post you're smart you're
01:08:16| smart people and that's why we love you I've been getting a lot of mail from them recently it's like someone's spring I guess perfume well two pieces of paper and
01:08:27| setting them to me yeah it's kind of sexy and there's something that looks like blood Oh with the note you'll never find her so I don't know either way keep
01:08:37| sending your mail I do appreciate it it's kind of cool did have a letter opener no it's a letter or broken at the Bob someone's broken you know what I think
01:08:48| maybe this is your mail you may be sending a little reason address in a different state yeah address to somebody else wow that's so similar it's strange
01:08:59| unbelievably strange but are the chances so I have a would you rather please do and extra my home Flaming Lips song the AAA AAA yeah something like that yeah so if you could make everyone else poor
01:09:16| while you make yourself rich could you do it what about you doing no work while giving all the work that you do have to somebody else you force them do everything could do it
01:09:28| none what I got that's interesting because I listen uh I guess on entrepreneurs on how I built this with guy wrasse he goes through he started two years ago how I built this NPR and
01:09:43| he talks about almost nothing actually he lets the astronauts talk about it he went through a bunch of people that are surprising and I'm kind of curious which one I want to talk about first I'll talk
01:09:59| about the one that's the most interesting I say this is is this guy Tony sy he's the one who started Zappos I guess everyone knows about Zappos right yeah sure and he defined himself
01:10:11| as like a really like deep introvert and he ended up making like almost a billion dollars worth of Zappos and combining endings mmm did he sell Davos or he still has it I think he still has a
01:10:24| stake in it okay he didn't sell it off entirely well I think he sold it off but like remained fate who is his charity holder and he sold it to Microsoft but it was instead of being incorporated in
01:10:37| Microsoft he was allowed to make it his own entity and remotely he descended while making a man to her amazing million dollars or something on for the Microsoft not bad I found him
01:10:48| interesting because he was a typical because he was he defined his business as like most people would say like they're the tallest tree in the forest there the entrepreneur the CEO
01:11:00| like they look up to the tallest tree he said that's not my company you know I'm the greenhouse I'm the structure it like that built the greenhouse and all the plants inside of
01:11:11| it are my employees like I'm gonna let I'm gonna build this so that other people can thing with and they can be on showcase you know hmm and he was very different because he like he doesn't
01:11:22| seem like he cares about wealth and mostly the entrepreneurs don't they become really wealthy they sell their business and then they'll say I'm gonna live the American dream which is what
01:11:34| you live you go vacation on a beach somewhere in Mexico like maybe like they want nail oh sure drop it and that's a custom shirt it could be you know it is from a
01:11:51| famous film we should sell custom shirts kind of thin it's good idea yeah well I'm thinking about it I know it's from the famous film I'm sorry I know exactly what that beak is trash like Redemption
01:12:06| you're right already top it I don't know candy right yeah some people don't know doing it you're absolutely a lot of these entrepreneurs they make a whole bunch of money and the way they talk
01:12:16| about they're like I think it was like what 20 10 million I can't remember and they're talking to something like yeah something right and it's like out to us that amount of money is just absurd like
01:12:25| how could you forget that you made an extra million dollars on the deal and they're lazy it was I was picked up my base to show everyone like this is my prized possession - it kind of is
01:12:38| because I and it's boring out your house that's my other scenario okay if your house was burning down what would you take out of it three items uh not the base because do I have insurance for
01:12:53| that okay I discovered some renters insurance come on read my contract really quickly well I'm debating right now I'm thinking of it ahead of time I probably grabbed
01:13:03| my PC because like a video card is supervised I'm getting a power supply we'll see if that solves everything it doesn't well I'll be looking at 1080
01:13:14| spokes worthless you want to donate a it to this area not only that area three three three three your child is crying can't you like let me look at it the I whip over the papers they'd only
01:13:34| to page five I'm like quiet quiet wait is my kid not walk I mean he can walk I guess he could get out of burning building himself I want I will save it okay Christ at sea one of three marked
01:13:47| off two or three prior computer yeah and the third one might be the base I mean because what else has worked that much yeah all your podcast notes I wouldn't actually do you think that's at it could
01:14:00| be worth a lot in the future but this is worth a lot now if my son's were the pcs where I used to make the podcast I guess I guess I will allow that I could reverse make these notes folks I'd have
01:14:15| to watch all the episodes carefully and look with my eyes converted away from the paper I was like what I noticed about prison reform is that in 1983 I can recreate news do you want to hear
01:14:29| something really funny go ahead I have a list of notes from the first day we did a pug kids oh yeah did you note anything about me hold on one no one keep anonymous - no phones TV I know everyone
01:14:45| Stevie's three paranoid conspiracy and oh I don't butthole and fake information about us to survive it off our trail yeah I think we stopped caring about that around episode 12 well folks we're
01:15:13| millionaires you're not listening to job career and career we didn't even get into 19 bill things we could have I guess that's how this works I just want to say one more
01:15:27| thing please do so these entrepreneurs they please do they get it please I got a Polly so the expert matters touch their focus is not money like most of the people they have a drive
01:15:44| and they focus on doing something they create something or they do something and they they like it enough to drive to get it done and yeah and some of the guys that started something a lot of the
01:15:58| times like the Tony Tsai guy he started link exchange and then he brought in people that just corrupted the company and he sold it because of that reason but no one knew that at the time so like
01:16:09| him all the times your baby gets a little bit yeah a little bit questionable and then you have to you have to get rid of it thank you reeks so you Leonidas
01:16:22| yeah so a lot of these guys they sell off a company and then they're doing something on a beach three months later in their life man this Beach stuff is boring so they're driven just like it go
01:16:32| back and do the same thing start over again and that's how they work it's not like you get interesting debt is that people think I will work so hard and make so much money in retire on beach
01:16:45| you're kind of fooling yourself because if you work so hard for 13 to 14 to 20 years you're inclined to work so hard so how can you relax on the beach for eight weeks straight you can't if you made all
01:16:57| that length through working you will continue to work even if you made the money if you're lazy and you didn't make money you will continue to be lazy like there's it's just a person as a person
01:17:08| yeah and the time they put into something is what they become it's their personality so they can write change it ultimately working that way the umph Anders is discovered that literally you
01:17:20| become your most important money which is ton yeah you spend it doing X Y Z leisure guitar we need to be really good-looking you need to a podcast did you play bass and it's an expensive bass
01:17:34| like that's who you are yeah if you have do I just keep doing it you're gonna make yourself happy regardless no I'm applying for a real go so you're not happy no I'm happy I just I just need
01:17:45| the real top benefits that I am we didn't get into health insurance or 1k all that stuff I don't have any that future episode retirement geez I don't know if I'll be around by then that
