What's up? Offroad culture coming to you from the mountains. Yep. Not Atlanta, Georgia. We are in um Blue Ridge, Georgia. Right now, uh me and Barry and our guest RC, we're currently looking off into the mountains. It's very beautiful up here. I don't know how high up we are. How would you how high would this be like? Yeah, like I don't even know. I don't even know. Like from the ground or sea level. Yeah. But the scenery's really nice. Yeah. Really important to have that time where you just can step back and and just, you know, relax while your everyday business should you know, just breathe for a little bit. Very important. Even though I feel like we should have taken more time to be up here because it's good to get away. I wish we had more time. I know, because I'm like, oh we already got a couple of twenty. I know, I know. It's too short. Yeah. Yeah, because it's just it's just too fast. Yeah. Wish we could have got thirsty often, like Yeah. Yeah, that'd be part, right? Yeah, Thursday on Monday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Yeah. Because like even last night when I went to bed, I was like, well, we could throw on until I was just trying not to think about it. Yeah. Enjoy the what we got. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody should enjoy the phone. Oh yeah. People be too worried about what's going on and they watch the news too much. And focus on instead of focus on what's right in front of people. Yes. Focus on the negativity. It's not going to change anything. People focus on stuff that's happening. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02I mean I heard a story about this woman that she never took a vacation. She always worked seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day. And one day she decided, yeah, I wanna take three days off. She took three days off and then she died the next day. Are you serious? Yes. That's not bad though. I mean I mean all your life.
SPEAKER_01Wait, was she on vacation and died? No, well no, she came back home and died. Oh well. But she only went on like a three-day vacation. Yeah, that was her fourth day.
SPEAKER_02I mean she's never been on vacation before. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. So her body couldn't handle the devil. Her body was like, what is this?
SPEAKER_02What are we doing? Working, working, working. We're not working.
SPEAKER_01What is it? Until you conditioned your body long enough to not enjoy it, and your body was like shocked yourself to the afterlife. Everybody's like, what the hell is this shit? This feels too good. Yeah, it's too true. We don't feel good in this body. You know it'd be feeling even better not being here. Everybody's like, I'm cashing out. How about how about we do this permanently? I'll stay with you too long. Uh was the lady old probably or No, I think she was only like maybe in her forties. Yeah, that's very young. Yeah, having a vacation.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, she's never had a vacation in the That's a lot of people though who don't think they'll they'd rather take the money than go on vacation.
SPEAKER_01Go on vacation, right. Well, can't they do like what I'm doing? Like go on vacation and get paid at the same time, like you know, PTO days. I mean, yeah, I mean that they'll get depends on everybody. Yeah, well, yeah. Yeah, because I know a lot of people I work with.
SPEAKER_02They'll get paid for the vacation, but they still want to earn more money, like Delphine.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Yeah, I've noticed some that were like, yeah, I'm taking the vacation, but I'm also gonna be working too because I could double the amount. Yeah, like this is not pretty easy. No, no, it's not in the long run, it's not worth it. No, no. This is not the two thousands anymore. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean some of you will like shoot each other. I think that's cause they're so stressed and oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. That's the society we live in. Yeah. We're in a society where everything's so stressful. That's why you see all these killings. Like just imagine if everything was peaceful and we didn't have to work as much. Yeah. I can't imagine. Just work it will you can imagine. Right. You can't you can't imagine. Because it's been like this since what? Since the nineteen since Ford had us working in since had uh the previous pass working. You wanna get real technical go back to creating the nine to five beginning of life, you know, or beginning of time. Yeah. Work is the men's man's but there were work, but there wasn't no nine to five in Lux breaks. It wasn't no work off course. Yeah. It wasn't built on capitalism.
SPEAKER_02No, no.
SPEAKER_01Oh yeah, you were talking about how like you're gonna fly off the handle. What are we talking earlier about how some girls that we've dated in the past and other friends of ours that have dated girls in the past you know, okay, super mad, just fly off the handle and drop off a hat, that kind of anger. Like girl, I was dating the one, it's her name. You know, she would just like just snap and just it would go into like World War III. We'd be in like Disneyland and everything's fine. And then boom, World War III. We can talk it out. Yeah. Yeah, like you guys are saying, like everybody's talking about some. I mean, just think about it. It's like your stress hormone level. That messes up your that messes up the way you think. Yeah, yeah. That's literally what stress is, it changes your brain imbalance. That's kind of how they want it to be. It's like if they want everything to be peaceful, it would be peaceful, but they don't want it like that. No, no, yeah. That's not that's not better for them. Yeah, for the powers that have all the resources and money. It's not gonna benefit them if everybody was they wouldn't get more money like that. If everybody didn't work, it wouldn't benefit them anyway. Yeah. There's a quote I'm trying to find right now that has to do with negativity, and it said something to the effect of like uh most people that are negative, um, I gotta find that something like some great percentage of like those people that are negative, it turns out much worse for them in life, and it also they're they don't realize it, but their mind starts to pick out everything that's negative more and more. So it just makes you more and more Yeah, I can't enjoy life negative. Yeah, you know, like to go through life like miserable. Yeah, exactly. Um I mean it's not like it, you know, it would be beneficial if they had like if like uh you were working in like your career or anything and it was like it's beneficial for everyone's safety if everybody they send you somewhere. I just think of like if a job just paid you somewhere to go relax for like a few days, every individual had that. Oh yeah, everybody would be fine. Yeah. But it's odd I would they wouldn't do that, obviously, of course, because why would they? So I okay, this is a uh scient scientists uh can s uh say consistent complaining can train your brain to notice more negativity. Consistent complaining can train your brain to notice more negativity. I believe that yeah it makes sense. Yeah. If you're constantly complaining, your your brain's gonna just gonna go toward more. Like everybody has at their job, that one form, maybe one, maybe two, maybe three minutes that's just like negative about it.
SPEAKER_02Oh yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01Like you don't want to be around them. There's they're just everything is negative. Like even if everybody's having a good day at work, they got something negative to say no matter what. Um I believe that's true for people like that. Yeah. Constant complaining can turn your brain to brain to notice more negativity. Right. So people look for like, you know, a year saying that when do you work with always like, you know, people ain't working and they do going out too long on breaks. I had somebody at my job like that, they're like, Oh, that person's not working, and and that person gets back on break, it's like you just want to be able to do that. I'm the same same for me too, like I think is every job that there's that one person. That one person. Or there's like three or four that one person. Yeah. Which even makes it worse. Yep. They're like, you know, yeah. That guy I work with, 'cause he's supposed to be the new like lead. He's constantly complaining about how they're treating how they're treating him, but the guy you're treating? Yeah. Well, he he just I'm not r necessarily training him, but I I was giving him pointers on how to do the stuff that he did before, but it's different now. Yeah. But he constantly complains about how they treat him because he's in the pos it basically fit he feels like they're still treating him the same, treating him as if the other guy was still in the position, but he's in a new position. But I'm I I wanna say it like don't even like why even complain about it. Why are you stressing more about it? Yeah. But you can't always tell people that's like older how to move, because then they're gonna take it with you. So I I just keep my mouth shut. And unsolicited advice. Yeah, they don't like that. So I just like I could tell like he he doesn't like it when somebody tells me something and don't tell him something. Oh really? Yeah, he doesn't like that. So it's jealous. Yeah, he don't like that. So he wants them to come to him, and then like so I'm gonna be like, uh I just let it quiet, but he really don't like that. So it's a it's a different guy, but it's uh it's almost parallel like paralleling each other. How they kind of act a little bit, but he's just more competent in other ways. Yeah, but it's just kind of funny how like they kind of act somewhat similar, but I'm thinking like I don't want to say it because then I know he's gonna go off the rails. I'm just kind of keep quiet about it. Just don't worry about it. Like you're getting paid, you gotta better for you, you're getting paid more, they're paying you. Just speak, just just let it happen. Why are you stressing yourself more about it? I just don't understand people like that. Yeah, because you want to say, like, dude, do you think you're worrying it's gonna be better? But he'll come at them a little bit more house style. I'll just be looking at him like like he'll be like, You told him something, but I don't know what you said to him. Yes, I don't know what you explained to him. I don't know what to and then and the guy would be like, Well, I'm telling you, is his name Dennis might tell you about Dennis? You remind me of you a little bit. He comes to him, he's like, Well, I told him, and I'm explaining to you, so you know, I'll just be looking like I'll just be quiet. It'd just be funny. I'd be like, Oh my god, why do people make such a big deal about small stuff? It's just a job, like I've had a couple of guys that they've like said, they've gotten arguments, and one guy pulled a gun on this other guy.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, like we don't know how it got in through security.
SPEAKER_01But like security was like just scarred like just like does your arm throw up.
SPEAKER_02But like yeah, I was up there.
SPEAKER_01They got into it like he like he just pulled a gun and like I'm like, this is. I didn't pull the gun out, he pulled it on me. Well, because he put it out on you, you're out of here. Come on, man. Both of you guys. I don't understand why people just take it so personal. I don't get it. I don't get it. I don't understand death with things. It's just not that serious. Right, right. This isn't life for death. This is a job. Like you're literally putting your life on the line over this. It's like wow. Yeah, it kind of amazes me a little bit. It kind of makes me feel like, well, you kind of deserve it here if that's the case. You deserve really suck that bad. If you're taking this that person, you've made your own bed. Right, you're right, right, right. A lot of people do that, they get mad, they're angry, and it's all because of the choices they made. You know, but they blame everybody else, you know, their family members that are closest to them, their friends, yeah, or some random stranger that cuts them off or whatever out there.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01That's where that shit comes from. I just snap like that. And they can do something. Pull a fucking gun and then you never know. Come in like just blow the place up. Yeah, dude. People do I mean mass shootings are are a normal thing now. Oh yeah. Like what is more guns.
SPEAKER_02I mean, that's all you hear on the news every day. It's like somebody getting shot.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Like even when before we left um come up here, I think it was Friday, um, some kid got shot in Fulton County, killed. Like a kid. I mean, granted, he was like sixteen, but still, like, you know, I don't know the scenario. There's a lot of neglectful parents too. Oh yeah, yeah. There's that too. Yeah, that doesn't help, of course. Like I like I've had to realize that a lot of people I a lot of people my age are a little bit younger, I forgot how rare it is for me to have parents that's way older than their parents. I I have to remind myself constantly, like people that's my age or a little bit younger than me. I'm the only I'm it's very rare that they're gonna find parents that's basically their grandparents' age. It's rare. Like I had to really think I had to really that like think about that. Like, oh wow, it's like of course I feel different than everybody because I can't have conversations with everybody my age because their parents are like 30, no forties. Yeah. Going into their like maybe ear early 40s, mid forties. And my parents are cold touching, they would be touching closer to 70. Yeah, so their parents are close to 100 now, so he said 100 grandfather. Well, yeah, I mean we're older too. It all depends on like the the the generations, like I f I really forget that like I'm unique in that way where I don't I forget that people my age that have parents that's your age, literally. I have parents older than that. So yeah. So I can I I have to think about that. Um but yeah, well we appreciate y'all listening. Um I'll give culture coming at you, and uh thanks for listening and uh thanks RC for being on. And um alright, we'll talk to you guys later. Have a good one. Peace from Blue Ridge Mountains. Bye.
