New suns and such...

Unknown:

So is that the gentleman that invented the sun? No. Did they make a sun in the sky for 17 minutes? He said something Asian. I thought that was it was in China. They made the sun right. Okay, so I'm talking about Morimoto soju or so. But gee, I'm sorry. He didn't make the sun. No, he is no one else. So just a drink. Sorry, go ahead. I'm being rude. So the Chinese have made an artificial sun, which is not really a sun. It's just a like a really high powered reactor. It's an energy source. Like they didn't launch anything in the air. It was in the air for 17 That was a footage of a rocket launch. What Yes, launch like when they saw rockets into the sky launch a rocket then it was launched at noon that day on launch it okay, you know, I want to talk about the Do Nothing man to do nothing, man. He didn't make the sound he just talked about it. My name is Will and I don't think that people should make sons were like cumin sons. Sure, but not ones that you launch into the sky. It's not that big of a deal, man. It was just it was a no, it's okay to make people sons, right? No, but the Sunday bait launch wasn't his problem. I'm Marcus. And between the intro, I'm going to try to get caught up on the facts. I am going to make sure they don't make any more sun because then they'll be making clouds and rain. And I saw this one Gumby episode and already make rain. Right It was did not go bad went really really bad for Gumby. I think pokey drowned. It was terrified. He had to run to some Indian books. It was it was it was a little racially inappropriately I was I was like for it can be it was old school. Anyway, um, yeah, don't don't make a sudden. I'm gonna go make a sign that says they are convinced that it's not a sun, it's just the Simpsons power plant. So and since they did not appreciate my son, I am going to go on silent dates for a living. They're not because they're just dissing my son. The Chinese made the sun right. That's why I said the head story that I thought we were going to talk about was the Japanese man that does nothing but makes money, right? Doesn't he do it in China? Okay, so like Japanese people can go to China. It's not yes. No, you're in Japan. Like if man solved all that. So yes, you're right. They the last three four movies worth but you know, okay, so like, it says it's not actually a sun, unlike the name suggests and the fake Twitter videos would have you believe. Okay. I'm listening. I'm just it's not a floating sphere of light into the sky. That's not what I said. You said he was launched. You said there was a giant like, you know? You didn't say that. I said that the video said that and yeah, no. Okay, we'll continue. The goal was I said they made a son Correct. Um, which you have yet to debunk? All they did was what you have debunked is whether or not it was up in the sky or not. They I don't care about the position if they've created it. But carry on go ahead with your dictionary definition. It is why we should be okay with the giant Chinese and it is a it's basically a fusion reactor man. And it's supposed to create a lot of clean energy. Yeah. Why would they need that? Because the world is dying. No, because global warming. Oh, yeah. A giant sun is going to cool everything. Warming me okay. You know what? You know what? You know, you know, I'll explain it some other time. I'm about to do nothing rent a man. Yeah, about that. I've cuz he quit because nobody like right so people 38 year old man to join them in activities like eating shopping and going for walks. Why would you Why don't you go for a walk to get away from people? Well, I mean, I would go for a walk to get away from people but like, no, some people like to go to watch a bodyguard. He's not gonna defend you if you get into a fight, or is he gonna jump you on? He's not gonna do anything. He doesn't do any effort. He just shows up. That's what you pay him to do. I got kids already. They do that for free. To do nothing next to me. You've never met me. You've never thought about renting your services out. My ability to do nothing. You You're taller than average black guy. I mean, if someone needs like a background Negro, I suppose our services, I can sit quietly, very with the best of them. I'm classically trained and minding my own business. I mean, that's basically what it is. He doesn't initiate conversation or reply he does. I definitely don't do that. The problem is though people talk to me, so if the person hired me talks to Oh, you reply, how many replies per session? As much so Okay, so like, if I'm holding a conference, if I hired you, I'm not sure why I would know. But if I did, right, and you know, you just stay there you say nothing until I speak to you and I initiate conversation the conversation with what so like but for how many conference how long? Like you get three responses for respond to me, I would have mentioned it's chit chatting, you gotta like moving starts to run long do you have to like refill the meter? The clock while I'm on the I'm assuming they rent him for like a session. People pay him to join them in activities ranging from mundane like having a meal. I think Vegas already has a service similar to this. To the extreme, like listening to murder confessions. Definitely. Vegas has, it has something for this. He started this unusual job back in 2018, when he was unemployed, and now he has over 200,000 followers. Sounds like he's still unemployed. He's just paid to be unemployed. Well, some people are loading some and people feel like this is a great way to fill that void. Should be impressive to me that they are lonesome and have enough recreational income to hire someone to old people. Right, but old, if you think that that is a reasonable solution to your loneliness, I don't think that you should afford to be able to have his services. Like if you'd like a dog that's more expensive. No, I just feel like there should be a stupid tax penalty for being incompetent anything, baby solve everything. That's what Well, they'd always be around if you need a life. That's always negative. You have a child. That yeah, just good solid, I don't know. 18 to 30 years of dependency. So I'm saying, um, there's some requests, he said that you turned down like, he doesn't clean houses. He doesn't do laundry. He will not pose naked enough. I repeat, he will not become someone's friend. He will. He's not there to become your friend. Like if you call him all the time. Just understand this is a business transaction. He's not here to be your friend. What if? What if? What if is a very rich, lonely person? Yeah, he's there for the money. Right. So then they could pay him to be their friend. No, no, no. I see this. We get this mixed up friends. That's a different level. No friend service. What do you mean? There's no, he just said that. It's like a shadow. Right? Yeah. A friendly shadow. No, no, no. Like, he's nothing to like, silently judge them. Or I mean, listen to them. That's just uncomfortable. I'm not gonna pay somebody to sit awkwardly next to me. That is why I don't get paid here. Um, well, okay. Basically. Okay. Like, think about it. Someone's hiring you, man. Mm hmm. Okay. And all you have to do is show up, right? And just be you. You say anything? Do my allowed to have like beverages? Or is it like, where are we at? Are we able to borrow in a library so they Okay, that's the thing. Let's say, you know, someone's hired you and they're like, hey, we'll come to this restaurant. What's your favorite restaurant? Houston's? I don't know. Let's just say that. I said, come to Houston. So Houston, we like islands. Okay, and Cpk because I'm sorry, we've never broken any plates that we tried to go to Denny's once. And I believe Jameson, that one of them. went wide left and shattered a plate. We've not been back to the days but we've been done. We've done well at islands. Several birthdays. Cpk. So let's just say PF Changs PF Changs Yeah. Okay, but their booster seats are are precarious. Six phone books tied to folding chairs these just with like the to go string it was really. But then I thought I thought that they had made it for us. Like they'd never had children in the restaurant. I looked over the corners, like four of them, like lined up. It was really strange. So I thought that she was gonna go teetering off into the bowl of rice. So in go back to their older and then we were committed to Island CBK. So when you have kids, we use islands, right? So we're going islands. Alright, cool, good episode. When the outside world question, basically shuts islands and you don't pay for anything. They pay for it. Oh, all you do is show up. Wait, how do I get the job where I get to go? Oh, now you're interested. Okay, cool. So basically, can I get a tall beer you thought not the small You want this this is a really tall one for when you've had a tall kind of day, that's what I'm saying. Generally if you're having dinner with your family, you go need a real tall so in order to really tall glass logist the largest glass of alcohol that they'll allow me to have in one serving. Well that's definitely barkeep one alcohol please. But so I could get a job where I just get to order one large glass of alcohol and some like what is it? Not so fun. What is the I can't remember the burger. I like they got this burger. Is that nice chicken sandwich actually nothing I thought I got a chicken sandwich. The I'm just glad you're interested now. Well, so how do I apply to eat chicken sandwiches and drink beer for a living? You have to reach out to this guy see if he's hiring or just create your own page your podcast host and you're willing so I just create a page that's like on Craigslist willing to eat sandwiches and drink beer is dead or you'll wind up dead if you put a post there but like now he's meet at Starbucks. I got a laptop through Craigslist and I got touched once not not a single time there's always smaller weird people I one time I went to go get I did I messed up and me and my buddy went to go meet the person to pick up the laptop at their house. Yeah, and my buddy is bigger than me. Okay, so it was too large black man we got out of my car like tiny little Asian dude he ran back in house had to like call him like we're here. Like are you sure? Anyone else anyway? He's waiting Carl be fine. I don't think anyone have it. No. Actually, that is kind of terrifying. I just then it was always Starbucks Let's go buy me a hot latte in your face and run home. Someone's looking for that service. I'm gonna say you have social media you have Craigslist he said I'm saying I guess I could just wait it islands like with a sign right next to the thing like waiting for someone to pay if you're into that, like right it's not how it works. They want to pay for somebody whose meal for your company and then yeah, they're gonna pay it's not understand. I've never been so lonely. I wanted to buy somebody's lunch and me since like, Have you tried it? Buying someone lunch? Yeah, all I have children. Buying someone that your children have to buy them lunch every day. Moving on town be buying random strangers. For fun. Maybe you have more money if you apply for the position of park host in Santa Ana. Like to do the thought Yogi Bear. That was a park ranger. I believe Ranger Dan? No. So you'd range rangers and hosts are different. I mean, hosts are not responsible for bear attacks. So the city of Santa Ana it has a park name Thornton Park and basically you can live there for free Thornton didn't hear it. Who else Horton? Yeah, no, you can basically there for free. It has a best how parks work. What does isn't three is a three to four. Tell me a trailer did good. That's where homeless people go to live already. We know that you can live at it. What kind of news is that? That's like saying the the sidewalk is available for walking. Of course they said it's a job opportunity to live at the park or to host the homeless people that depart you will be the park ambassador. Let the holes you'll know where the bathroom is and stuff. You'll be doing that amongst other things. You'll be hosting events making sure things go nice and smoothly throughout the park. I was I paid volunteer work public awareness in the park. Is there a minimum wage for today like do they pay you and they feel like it will pay you a gift cards like here's the thing it's just free room and board. It's what so they have like the park is already free. So they have a three to four bedroom trailer that they will allow you to stay there for free. Or you can sleep on the ground next to it for free because there's a part that is I mean, that is an option. However, if you've not been to part I remember I was used i We one time we had to appeal a homeless person off the court to play basketball. Why am I haka voc all over the place. I don't eat the plastic bottle. Basketball media headache. Oh really? That's why they wake up on basketball courts. At least they're not waking up in the middle of the lawn. Um, somebody woke up at depart with a ball of rock next to him. No, I think I finished the bottle before I got there. So you fall asleep at the club and they throw you out. That's what that's how they don't take you to the park. No, they don't get to the park. No. He lives there for free. He doesn't have to get a job so he could sleep at the day. Park is the point. Because according to this story, if you are an idiot and you want a job so that you could sleep somewhere free, they'll hire you. Well, they just want someone that has the presence of caring for the park. There. You'll be caring for the park by staying there overnight. The hump day Have you ever tried to invade one of them tents that they have at the park? They care very much about their space at the park. That is, all of these things are already happening. free room and board. There is a job. You're not to pay rent. You know, in California, at least la a third of everyone's income is their rent or housing expenses. So boom, covered Yeah, this your solution is become actively homeless. They said you can keep your day job. Of course, if your day job doesn't require you to have a residence, but most do well. Yeah. Know your date. Go to your day job. You mean, what if I don't have a house anymore? Eventually, they're gonna find you have to have an address. Yes. When they find out that you live at the park, you're gonna lose your day job. Like we thought you were volunteering at the park Simpson, what do you mean you live there? You can't live at the park. Well, I work there. So they allow me to put a blanket on a bench. And then really lowered my expenses. Now this job is you know, the fourth I can take a vacation. But when I come home, I have to sleep at the park. So yeah, Johnson you're fired? Yeah, you haven't dressed? You know? I mean, I guess does have an address. You know, my stories. I have nothing but like, Have you ever tried to get a pizza delivered to the part like they deliver in this part? What they get upset? They'll do it? It's in Orange County, but wow. Yeah, even they'll get very upset but didn't do anything in Orange County. It's just I don't believe in science. They don't like black people think it's crazy. It's a very large part. It has like, you know, a bunch of homeless people apparently are no, they're not homeless because they work there and what doesn't make any sense? It makes total sense. So if you give someone a job, and they don't have a house, they're no longer homeless. I mean, they're, it's like being a property manager. But the property is apart. There's not a property, you get his slides and she doesn't count. There's no property. A property manager has an apartment or condo or some sort of living court. I mean, the property is the part you can't give them a sandbox slides, swings and a patch of grass and call them of the building manager. There's no building window right there. The property manager just no property. It's a park. It's a public manager. That's there. The ground staff there like Leslie. No. Huh? Leslie? No, from Parks and Rec. Oh, she worked a bargain. But she had to live she could go home. That could she you know, go home. Just it's in the park. No, she lived in a house. She wasn't homeless. She had a regular job is the new year. I'm trying to help the list by the desks like just out. They don't have offices. They just put desks next day. Think about it. Okay, in the day, are they trying to like save the environment? Think about it during the day you have your day job at night. You have this park job. If I live at the park, I'm not going to have a day job. There's no reason for me to be working two jobs and live in a park. You can Why stop at two when you can work at three. And then you become I live in Ohio. The goal? The goal of working multiple jobs is to avoid living at the park if I'm working three jobs at the park. Okay. That's the whole core focal point of the story. We does not think about the potential homeless people at the park for no reason other people go to the park, old people's children should they go home people go feed their birds. I used to go to parks play basketball basketball players. Yeah, but I'll go home. So I just think about it. So alright, look. I love to play basketball. I don't want to live at the park. Yeah, but you can go out every day and just who? I did that and went home to the park. It's right to my house. It's a three bedroom. Playstation. I'll probably say good. There's electricity in the trailer. I'm pretty sure you can. Some people have nice trailers man, three to 4 billion trailer. homeless problem absorbed. No, they're still homeless. They live at the park. That's not you. It's like Lakeside property. So your solution to the homeless epidemic is to drop them all off at the beach. No, and he calls them property managers know the beach is used for tourists. What does? What does that have to do? So tourists can't go to the park because nobody can but like homeless people can't see. You don't want a bunch of homeless people on the beach was Roger COVID. Maria. So you've never been to Venice, Beverly. Oh, yeah, I've been well that's like the boardwalk is scattered with homeless people. They have their own section but I heard they were cleaning it up. Right, because they call everyone property managers, apparently. And now they live there. So it's clean. Well, let's call them podcasters. Okay. I mean, I'm just saying on the part, whatever too much background noise. I think they're doing a great job. I'm for this but yeah, you just changed the term but don't do anything. That's That's politics, you're new, you're going you are definitely the Republican in the show. I know how we'll solve the homeless problem, let's just talk about them differently. They're not homeless if we say they have jobs, and we call the park of property and other city employees. Look at that, but they still don't have anywhere to live at the park they already lived at and nothing has changed for them inside now. Somebody came to a homeless person was like, guess what, you now have a job. And you're no longer homeless goodbye. And nothing changed. They have a job. Congratulations, you have a job and your living condition has changed in no way Why Why haven't they they're not going to do the job. If they're still living and the whole point. The reason that everybody works is so they don't have to live at the park. That is the the the driving force of everybody like the desk job passed by the reason your sandwiches get made, are because those people don't want to live at the park. So if you remove the the benefit of not living at the park, from the equation, no work is getting done. That's why they fall asleep facedown on the basketball part. Drinking plastic bottle vodka, because there is no inspiration to do anything. It's like, well, I could go to work. But then I just got to go home to where I work at this damn Park. Isn't that like working from home? No, no, it's not. Because when you work from home, you have a home that was already a home that you now do work from occasionally. I guess that makes sense. Like I can see your point like the point is I'm just saying if people had money then they wouldn't live at the park and none of this would matter so good point well done. They would give everybody more money well, I mean, they'd also have money for now being fired from the Republican party saying only think the Liberals are happier well, all this extra money they can do things such as you know, I mean, yeah, I guess you could buy some hoodies but I don't even know if I want hoodies. With the homeless people that have been fought like at that's almost a concentration camp. Oh, well. Come on, man. Now it's more indentured servitude. That's not better. Oh, concentration camps actually better because it can't last as long. Oh, indentured servitude lasted for? Well, depends on I don't it gets blurry with the slavery and you're saying the city of Santa Ana is not coming up with a good idea. There's not an idea. Their idea is to let homeless people live at the park. Right? That's that's their idea. Like the idea of bottling water like bro, we did that long ago. Their idea is to let employees live at the park. Right, so they will no longer I just explained they will no longer have employees if they have to live at the park. What if it's like movie star level trailers? You know, Will Smith's trailers expand into like four storey homes for no reason. Have you ever caught anybody living in these extravagant trailers? Well, no, because the program just started your chance, man. But the trailers have been existing right? No point has anyone tried to live in a trailer people try to live in New raggedy trap houses all the time. Right? You got squatters as name a whole house it'd be three walls, there's train and a towel. And you have people living in there. Nobody sneaks into a trailer and tries to live there because everybody wants to have a home. You may have just lost all your people that listen to the show, right? Because I'm such a hit in the trailer park and homeless community. They're tuning in from bus benches and park ranger stations everywhere. And I'm really pissing them all off because I don't want the homeless people to continue to live there and be called property manager. Why would they even be mad come up with this dumb as plan? Why would they be mad at me? I'm trying to fight for their right to have a house and not be called property managers live in at the park. Just give them a home or tell them you're gonna ignore them. Don't pretend like you're gonna do so you come down they do a whole ceremony for without this plan. People think stuff like that. Everybody just leaves. What's gonna happen? What do they own the property now and they get to live there. and problem solve is a win win for everybody. I'm glad you see my point. The point is that nothing happened. You said as women. Yes. For the system, not for the homeless people. It's always a win the house always wins. They didn't need to come down there and tell us that they were When they just came to Hey, guess what, we're not going to do nothing. We wanted to make a ceremony about it. So here's some ribbons. Here's this new program we're gonna put one trailer down here for these 48 homeless people and we'll call them all property managers give them jobs a couple coats. And you know they're very crafty people they have sewn together make blankets and all kinds of stuff. It's great. It's great. And we'll go home never see him again. People get mad we'll come back down here in 10 years put another trailer up that's that's how the homeless people well done thanks. I'm sure they're very happy that they get to manage the property they already lived at. That's great. Well done. Anyway, I hope that they are are listening out there because I think you guys should demand housing and say I don't want a job if I gotta live at the park the whole reason to get a job is to not have to live here I got to live you know you're doing the damn work. I can just leave on this bench for free. You can't throw me out they already threw me out all the places that's why I'm here. That's public space. You can have the trailer there's already eight homeless people in there anyway I won't be in there one trailer for all the homeless people can't that's always the problem they ought the solution is always one house for 400 people we got it we got we will make we'll build these three houses and on this one corner and that'll solve you know, little houses for families. Meanwhile, there are 462,000 You know, homeless people on Venice street alone or like you know, I don't know that that's you know, wildly inaccurate but the point is that the the solutions are always so small scale but you know the spending be real high scale when it comes to buy guns and stuff for the police anyway. We're Not Gonna jump down that rabbit hole today because the the different police IDs will not get printed apparently the distributor feel some kind of way about my political views. So I'm adult adolescent it is and mugs and such. But yeah, we we haven't solved the homeless problem. All we did is is we labeled them. That's MetalMan clean houses, right? That's that solution. We move to shoes and put a Kleenex away. Alright, honey, I'm done. homeless problem solve house claims to go watch the game. Oh, man, well, if they want, it's all they can. They can hit me up and let them know next episode. Until next time, homeless people. Keep managing those properties. I'll send you a hurry. They say you're resourceful. You know what to do with them? No, nobody, I don't I don't have blankets. I guess I could come out with a homeless pack. Like the hot duffel bag. You get a duffel bag, a hoodie, water bottle. And like a little manila folder to put your property manager's certificate in. You can hang it on your park bench. That's messed up. I'll be so mad if I was homeless and found out I got a job and I'm still homeless. Congratulations. You've been hired to live where you already stay. What woke me up to insult me? That's me. I'm already homeless. You're cracking jokes. Okay, on that note Did you just play a character? I think the homelessness is a real problem and you can't solve it with new titles. That's all I'm saying. I do have a message. I think maybe I says the homeless already got it that you know what? Forget it. They're crazy. They mess up you drive the orders out
