I'm good, Rob, how you doing?

You're listening to us on Wednesday, so it's Wednesday. It's Wednesday. That's funny.

Yeah, so I don't watch the news, but it is on in my house because I live with my father right now. And a couple of friends that I respect that have really have their head on straight and don't play into the fear are starting to say that they're afraid with the state of affairs and things going on in the world. And it's been a little hard because I don't

necessarily feel all that safe right now being that I'm just newly divorced and trying to find my way around this This world and you know just navigating myself and so to hear them say it I've been like kind of on edge So we all know that Israel was bombed by the Hamas Hamas, yes, okay, and um You know that there's been like a lot of talk about the next World War three

Or like what's gonna happen? We let all these terrorists into our country and now they want to put up a wall Which will be blocking us in as well as us uh, you know Letting people in So that's kind of been something that's been on my mind the stuff that went on with maui and how they're saying that it's all a Big conspiracy that's been on my mind. It doesn't really feel like the same world we

that we lived in. I was listening to a song today from the 80s and I don't even know. It's called We Didn't Start a Fire. And I remember that song back in the day, like all the scary things that were going on at that time. And they're still going on now. We're talking 40 years plus later. So I don't know. Things have just been kind of a little off balance for me. I feel like I feel like there could be a little bit of depression going, but it's almost fear based. And

Yeah, that's what's been going on with me.

Mm-hmm.

Hmm

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

No, of course not.

Absolutely.

Mm-hmm.

And the way the videos, I don't know if you saw anything, but the videos of how they came in and started attacking people and just slitting their throat and dragging them through the streets and stomping on their heads after they were dead. Like these are people that just went into a territory that was apparently not theirs at the time. I don't, you know, who knows all that political crap. But and they just started killing people like in.

huge quantities and Nobody was ready for it. Nobody was able to defend themselves It was almost like they were walking or riding targets Like if they were on something because people were just getting shot down everywhere

Yeah.

Yes, and they killed almost everybody in that neighborhood.

Yes, and their women, children, and the elderly are the ones that they targeted.

Mm-hmm. Yep.

and they were talking about the atrocities that were done to them. I was, it's been so much, it's overwhelming in my head to deal with that.

Mm-hmm.

Well, we could look politically at that and it could be either way. But the footage I saw still was not right. Like people were dead and they were stomping on their heads. You know, I saw that was disgusting.

Mm-hmm. And what they were doing to women that were dead, like declothing them and dragging them around and slapping them in just inappropriate ways, even if they were clothed. And they were doing stuff, I was like, what the hell is wrong with people?

Yeah, because let's you know, whatever your political views are, me and you don't agree on everything, but you won't see me like trying to slaughter you and your family and kick you around and do all those things like. Wow, I were I was raised to have, you know, the karma would kick my ass for even thinking those things, let alone doing them and hear these people are doing them. And I'm like, how do you how do you have that much hate in your heart? And how do you sleep at night?

knowing that you did that.

I know where do you start with all this? I told you I had a lot on my head.

Hehehe

Yeah.

Right?

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Wow.

Hmm

There was really nothing humane about that though.

Mm-hmm. Right, right, right.

Mm-hmm.

And look at what we did because yeah, you're right.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

And that's another argument for why in the fuck do we keep training people to have a military and leaving them shit that's going to come back and haunt us in the future. It's happened over and over and over again. It's haunting all of us because everybody is afraid now. This is this is caused everybody to fear what comes next.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

torturous example of him?

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Right? Yeah, it's.

Mm-hmm.

Well, what happened last time? We got involved. We went and bombed everything, supposedly got who, who was the, the creator of that, you know, and which that still remains to be seen. Really? What were we doing in, in another country going after an Afghanistan man? Like we could go, we could, we could go through that as well. So I.

Right?

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Well, especially the way that we treat women versus the way they feel about them, that's right there is a big difference in how we're looked at.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Well, because it just brought a bunch of terror to the world is what it did.

Mm-hmm.

And then when they asked, well, what about the people that don't back these, the terrorist organization? And he said, he said, this is an act of war. They need to protect themselves because this is going to happen regardless.

Right.

Mm-hmm.

Well, and what's going to happen because our government's going that way too. What's going to happen when there's an uprising here that's big enough to cause change?

Hehehe

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. They were protesting and a few people got out of hand, is what it was.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

It's true, yeah.

I don't think so. I think the Israelis are saying, don't fuck with us because we're stronger than you know, and you guys will never have as much as we do to get it the way we need it to be. I think Israel, they're...

They're kind of badasses to me because they're small, but they are mighty and they've been fighting for centuries because they're on the Holy Land and they're not going out without a fight and a big fuck you to boot

Mm-hmm.

But they mean it. They mean it.

has gotten a boot to the ass. Yeah.

demand that they get to keep their arms for sure. And they should. For where they live alone, they should.

Ha!

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Right?

Mm-mm.

I agree. I agree. Yeah, it's been to me like watching all this unfold. It's it's making me anxious and angry and totally frustrated. I don't I'm and I'm seeing that it's even though we're not there, it's affecting it's affecting everybody that I know to some degree. It doesn't seem like there's one person that's not.

Talking about it or posting something about it on social media or saying something when I go out to eat with them or It seems like it's very We're very Saturated with it right now and Yeah, I'm not digging it not digging any of this

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. And, and what is going on in the Ukraine since all of this started? Cause I haven't heard shit. And it doesn't that make you kind of wonder it was like all really important and now nobody's hearing anything.

Mm-hmm.

Yes.

And there seems to be an agenda behind that too. There does.

Mm-hmm.

Minute by minute, even if you don't have any news apps on your phone, you still because I don't have any of that.

It was so bad I couldn't finish the video.

TikTok is where I got it, yeah. My friend sent it to me.

Censored?

Mm-hmm.

Mm-mm.

Wow.

Yeah.

No, even for this they had the bodies all blurred out. There was a bunch of bodies on the street that they were that they had on the side as they were parading women, children and elderly down the street. They were dragging them down the street with their hands behind their back and they blurred out all the dead bodies.

Well that was here. Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

We will.

And where will all that money end up? Because we really don't ever see it. So.

Mm-hmm.

over them being dumbasses and going in and starting a war.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. I agree.

Mm-hmm No, and they should fight back like that's The way they're doing it and what they're doing Fight fight back as much as you can fuck that That what I from what I've seen and I'm not looking for it. So this is just stuff That's floated down into my lap fight your freaking asses off because You used you don't that was that was so

beyond anything that they should have ever even tried to do, let alone do like where is your humanity? Where is your heart? Where's your like, what is really going on? Because that was that was brutal. That was brutal beyond comprehension.

So we funded it. I wouldn't be surprised.

Fuck.

Mm hmm. It's her. It's horrendous here.

Hmm.

Really? Is that even an option? Because nobody gets involved but us.

It always seems to be us.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

examples out of them.

Oh yeah.

Well, what they you know what if they get what they gave?

I agree.

Yeah, Friday the 13th.

Mm-hmm.

Astronomical, yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Absolutely.

Yeah, it's volatile right now.

No.

Mm-hmm.

That's another part you say keep religion out of this, but the way I was raised that shit is all in my head going fuck It's like Okay, you know get Get ready cuz here it comes

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, absolutely.

There's borders.

Mm-hmm.

Well, think about it though. You can't get out either when there's borders like that. So if we put up the border, we also create a wall for us to have to get over. I'm not saying don't have a border. That's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying that we really need to think about how we're going to border because we need to be able to come and go as we please because that is our right.

But we also need to stop these people from coming in because we just can't take care of them. And we're letting terrorists into our backyard. We shouldn't be doing that either.

Mm-hmm.

Absolutely.

That's not our country though. They let them all in.

Yeah.

Hmm.

Not even close.

And they're right next door to each other. Fuck.

Mm-hmm. I agree.

But we have, we have. We killed our own and we killed people that were indigenous to the land that we needed to help us grow and evolve.

We cut off our own nose despite our face there.

No.

I would say when what I say to my friends when we're talking about it all of this is just be a little more kind because we can't stop anything from happening right now. But we could if this would be our last day on earth, how would we want to be remembered? And I think that being kind isn't a bad thing to be.

Mm-hmm.

Absolutely.

feedback.

Have a good one!
