Maybe I’ll make it out to pubkey someday. Most of my free time is spent smoking blunts and working out. Last time I was in Brooklyn I was chasing a mother fucker around a Construction site with a shovel trying to kill him. That’s when I decided fuck NYC it was right before Covid which the communist like rules just sealed the deal for me to never cross the GW bridge ever again. I said I would never go to NYC ever again, not even for a wedding or a funeral and so far I’ve held to my word.

The problem with people who take advantage of others providing value, is that they have not yet encountered the right individual who will step up and TAKE the value that they are due. If I provide value for someone and they take advantage of my work ethic or value, me personally have no problem slapping the shit out of them and taking my value. But they have brain washed most of us to be sheep and not take matters into our own hands.

My take on anyone who is against V4V is not only my enemy but the enemy of everything that is good on earth. Anyone who is not 100% V4V and has sponsors can be manipulated. So whoever isn’t down should lay down or get layed out, perdiod!

My son just joined the Marines and I don’t want him going to defend a bunch of nazi/gangsters in Eastern Europe. and if it’s up to Matt he thinks we should send money and send our military to defend his people. This will be the last podcast I ever listen to with him. Maybe you should be on the front lines fighting Matt instead of pushing America to bankrupt itself and send its sons and daughters to fight for you.
