SPEAKER_01

Hey, welcome to Off World Culture. You're back. Featuring Kay and Barry. This is uh episode is entitled um what is it entitled, Barry? Impressionable minds. Impressionable minds. Um talking about some things about how the youth. About the minds of people. Yes, and typically we're gonna go a little younger. Um there's a person I know that's young. Um unfortunately sh this person isn't isn't very wise. He's just kind of well, I guess to say this, I need to say this part first. One thing about the news and everything in the media is that it's programmed. Oh, you're gonna say, well, yeah, of course it's programmed. No, it's programmed though to fuck with your head to keep you in line. A lot of people don't believe that. I didn't believe it growing up, but now I've seen it firsthand, I know. Like they control the narrative of your life and your fear. If you have fear, it's because they're telling you something that's scaring you. Um, or they tell you who to like or dislike. Like, one thing me and Barry's talked about that we still can't fully understand is why so many people hate Israel. Like, we don't really care. Um, I don't hate Israel. I don't have anything against them, they haven't done anything to me personally, and why would I hate 'em? Um, why would you hate them? Well, blah blah blah, whatever. So we're we're basically showing you in a landscape of of a frame of a picture what it's gonna look like, what what where your fear is coming from. Because it all comes from something, it doesn't just you know appear. Either you've heard it through news or media, the radio, or social media, or whatever. Uh the biggest thing is you don't make up your own mind. You have your mind made up, even though you think you make your own decisions. Um and it's very easy to fuck up too because of these fears and whatnot. Um especially somebody starting off um with success or or somebody young that is um having some lot of success in what was it, music?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, uh you'd have like a like for example Yeah, there's a singer out there who basically is is charged with murder because he was dating an underage girl and he was like, you know, got his I to I'm assuming the information that came out that said she was gonna expose it and ruin his music career. So he opposedly killed her and just member the body. So he was only like he's only twenty-one. Wow. So it's just kind of crazy how you can have all that. He had he has a very, very successful career for to be twenty-one having to be a m musician. Uh-huh. Already very iconic, but uh granted, I don't think it translates to IQ or anything. Yeah. I don't really say a lot of people are well known that are very sharp, right? I mean Yeah. But it's like it's like the he left the body, the body was found in the airport, at the LA airport, in the back of his car, in his Tesla car. So it's like it's like we it's like do you not uh do you think you live in a movie or something? Like you not think you're gonna get caught doing that, like what? You're a dexterity, right? You think you're that big that that high after a music career?

SPEAKER_01

It gives you ego, man. It it gives you like I was telling Barry one time, you know, because I worked with a lot of big artists, is um some artists that get real big real quick, they think and feel that they're untouchable, you know? Unstoppable, untouchable. So I think in this case what Barry's talking about, this kid probably thought to some degree he was untouchable. You know, when you hear you're amazing, you're awesome, you can do anything, and you hear that every day for year after year, yeah, like you start to believe that shit. Right. And so he probably believed, like, hey, this this girl is not gonna destroy my life or my career. I'm too big and too powerful, you know, I'm I'm taking this bitch out.

SPEAKER_02

I'm kind of curious, like, I wonder how they how he was raised. Like, I wonder what kind of kind of upbringing he had to be to go from uh being a a kid artist to murdering somebody and just not only you murder them, you dismember them, dismember them, but but just the fact that it was an underage girl, it's like you could have your pick is a litter.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, dude.

SPEAKER_02

That's true, man. You don't need an underage girl. It's like famous and rich. It's kind of weird. It's like kind of I it kind of makes me want to dive deeper into my logic. Yeah, like what's your logic? I want to know, like, like, have you always had these thoughts, or are you just like like this can't be nothing recent you just came up with? I think like this somewhat, somewhat in his music. Everybody's bringing up his music, and I think uh uh he was arrested, you know. Like I think the I don't know uh um they was bringing up how in his lyrics, his lyrics, he's right, he's actually singing about like killing killing a girl.

unknown

Oh, he is?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, so it's like and then it's just crazy. It's like how I'm like, how high are you? Like, I'm like a guy. I'm assuming that song came out before he killed her, though. Yeah, yeah, that's why it's just weird. It's just like, or he could have did it after. I don't know. You said he dismembered her body? Yeah, like her body was dismembered and just right, but I'm like, he he don't know about those. No, he didn't know.

SPEAKER_01

Clearly he didn't know nothing because he got caught pretty fast. Yeah, and he left the body in the back of his car.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I'm like, what is it? That's the airport? Yeah, I don't know what I don't know what's going on in his head, but that just goes to what we're talking about, how the like these young minds just like they don't it's like they're so they get so it's so easily impressionable. Yeah. I guess that's the word, that's the key word for it.

SPEAKER_01

Like sponges.

SPEAKER_02

You know? It's like whether it's good or bad, they absorb about all the weird nonsense, but they don't never filter it out.

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_02

Or they're not taught to look more deeply in the thing.

SPEAKER_01

And think for themselves. Even though they all think they think for themselves and everything, but it's like you don't.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

You're influenced by what you pull up on your phone, your social media, your friends, and the news. Right. That's why I don't watch the news.

SPEAKER_02

It's kinda it's just kind of weird to me how these young I mean, Greg, I've had you know, you go into fits of rage where even afterwards you were still mad that you wanted to just permanently like end somebody and stuff, but after a while, like would they even be worth like like you gotta sense like how mad you really are at somebody to kill 'em at this moment. Like, how mad do you have to be at somebody to do all that?

SPEAKER_01

Especially if you thought about it and wasn't in the heat of the moment. Right. You know? Like, that's real. Like a lot of people getting, you know, quick fights or whatever, and they'll maybe accidentally kill somebody or whatever. That that's not like a tent. They weren't thinking around for, you know, you know, long time. Like this dude had to think about it. He had to go into detail on how he wanted to do it and what he wanted to do with the I mean, yeah, dude, he I mean, he thought about it. That's for sure.

SPEAKER_02

Very strange to me. I damn I really don't understand.

SPEAKER_01

The body in the back of his Tesla, yeah, Tesla.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, Tesla. That was like it's it was his it was in his is his car. It's like you could have had it in somebody else's car and you would have got away with it.

SPEAKER_01

He could have bought a cheap car for cash. He got all this money. It's like how you just like your brain. Like, God gave us all one. I mean, you should try using it.

SPEAKER_02

Well, clearly he's he uses it just to make music. Well, yeah. But that clearly wouldn't like come on now. That's just like it's just funny to me how these these people it's like they just let the world tell them what to do.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, let the world run their narrative. Like, and they see it so much now. Everybody buys into everything, you know, like a new Apple, whatever. It has a new Apple watch.

SPEAKER_02

I t I was tell I was talking to somebody, um, I was telling somebody, I was like, um, or I was just talking to somebody with a video or something I've seen, but I've definitely thought of it where it's like sometimes I kind of see why these why these why these powerful people feel like they can control you because it's uh I'm starting to feel like people deserve it. Yeah. I'm like, no wonder no wonder they feel like they can get away with everything.

SPEAKER_01

Well yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

And nowadays, like, yeah, dude, it's I can't even tell them not to because everybody acts so stupid. I can't even s I can't even say they ain't along.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

This is crazy.

SPEAKER_01

It's a tough, tough pill to swallow just seeing us having, you know, well, obviously I'm older than Barry, but like, you know, I've I've seen, you know, where I grew up where we didn't have cell phones, you know, and we didn't know who the fuck was calling, you know, we had didn't know until we answered the phone. And sure as hell never when you were out, you had to do this at a house, landline or something. If you didn't have a cell phone, it was about as big as a fucking trash can. You know, like it was just a different world. But nowadays, like everybody relies on what they see to think, you know, to think for them.

SPEAKER_02

It's even it's even um even how TV used to be even then, like how it wasn't a lot of they didn't censor a lot of stuff on TV when I was growing up. And I'm only I'm only about I'm turning 30, but even when I was a young kid growing up and uh TV was not censored like that. And it's funny watching people look at old videos or whatever about stuff that you thought you come on TV and they're so shocked about it now. And it's almost like that programming is really working. It's like, yeah, you're shocked because you didn't grow up, you didn't see that when it was on TV during that time. You you seen it in the lens of now, yeah. That you can't even you can't even take your mind out of the time frame of now and put it back. And there's so many people like older than me, so I'm like, where were you at when this was all TV? Because I remember I was on I remember stuff was on TV and they didn't send they didn't censor a lot. Like, just think about it. You think about girls going wild used to come on TV? You talking about girls showing their boobs at night, and they would just come on TV and they would just be late at night too, right? And that dude did get arrested too, but I'm like, of course they just came for him later. But it's like, come on, all this stuff is fine and normal. Yeah. In the early 2000s, mid 2000s, now all of a sudden it's like that. I was like, come on.

SPEAKER_01

Dave Spiel said great about that challenger, you know, when when I was growing up in well, I was just baby frankly, but in 86 when that challenger, you know, fucking space shuttle, by the way, it blew up. This is real life for all of you who don't know who uh what the challenger is. Um, and we were just like stricken, blown away by it. But nowadays it's like the challenger blows up every day for young people because they have it on their phone. They can, you know, you can see I even scrolled through my stuff, and there's videos that just pop up of just people beating the shit out of each other or something, and and everybody loves it and they're on their phones, and I'm just like, man, we have missed it. Oh, we have missed it.

SPEAKER_02

I feel like I I almost feel like people forget 9-11.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Because uh like it's all because I'm like, that's way that's like the most catastrophic thing you can see, and it's all people act like as if either it didn't happen or it was like a movie or something.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

It's like uh like like you would think like you would think that the more people go back and remember it, even young people, that that that they that that they will actually make them view things from a different life. I remember like when I was younger and I seen it, that kind of changed my perspective on how the world was.

SPEAKER_01

So I'm like, how does that not affect other people? Like they continue to still Well, I think you just said it. Some people just tell themselves, oh, it wasn't real.

SPEAKER_02

It was uh that's gonna but that makes everything worse because it's like it like a little safe box.

SPEAKER_01

You know what I'm trying to say?

SPEAKER_02

Like it makes it worse is because it's like you're literally it's like that's literally a crazy thing that happened.

SPEAKER_01

That really happened.

SPEAKER_02

You see you literally see that stuff in movies and it happened in real life, yeah, and people still act like as if it never happened. It's kind of almost scary how much people don't even realize it happened. Or if they see something crazy online and be like, oh, this is bad. I'm like, you think that's bad. But do you not know about 9-11?

SPEAKER_01

I do not know what happened. Like when they dropped those bombs on when we dropped the atomics on Hiroshima.

SPEAKER_02

It wasn't as much the footage wasn't clear like that. We're talking about and they keep constantly coming up with clear, clear footage of the day. So it's like, how how clear does it need to get for people to be like, oh, this is what the six what 63?

SPEAKER_01

They the the Zuberser camera, whatever it was, that shows JFK's head getting blown off. Imagine if we had like digital cameras and stuff. I mean, anyways, my point being is like what Barry's saying, like, did you not believe 9-11 happened? We have it all on video and stuff. We even have the freaking JFK getting his head blown off on video, and that was in 63 for crying out loud. Yeah. Like this stuff did happen.

SPEAKER_02

Like people just act like all the world is getting crazy. It's like, do you think it's just now getting crazy? Yeah, just saying. Did you not just get the pass? We were y'all around doing it. I was like five well, I was like, what, five in 2001? I was five, but I'm like, even I remember like the following years after that, like I was when I was looking at it, I was like, this sh is wild. That shit kind of blew my mind after about you know, a few years after I got older and I started looking into it. But I I think I really didn't link into it because I was probably like eight, nine, maybe nine, probably like ten, eleven, then I went back, like I started seeing it. Yeah. So by that time, I was like, oh, this is like this is crazy. This is wild. I'm like, even for me, like I said, I was five, it's people older than me, it's like they don't even act like oh, this is like this is them on the news. Yeah. Like now they'll see something on the news about Iran. I was like, uh uh, anything. Oh, this is wild, this is crazy. I'm like, you think this is crazy?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_02

I'm like, where were y'all at during 2001? Like, like literally, where were y'all?

SPEAKER_01

Hey, some of them weren't even born then.

SPEAKER_02

No, it's people older, it's people older than me that say stupid stuff about like what's going on now. Yeah. Like, if you think this is bad now, I'm like.

SPEAKER_01

Well, that's the thing. A lot of people, unless they see it on video, they don't believe it. And there's even some that see it on belyting and uh don't believe it. You know, people still think the fucking earth is flat.

SPEAKER_02

But we know it happened. That's the crazy part. You literally saw two buildings fall down.

SPEAKER_01

I remember where I was when that shit happened. I remember exactly where I was.

SPEAKER_02

You literally fast forward, and it's that's in the first century, this is like the first 21st century. So we're still in the same right there, but it's like people act like it was like 80 years ago. Like I I'm almost worried by like as time goes on. I'm not worried, but it's like as time goes on, it's like it's like it's almost like you have to show people that video just for them to snap back into reality that life is.

SPEAKER_01

And assume they believe it too. Some of them are like, it's not real. It's like they still don't believe the the the moon landing's real.

SPEAKER_02

You know, I had a younger cousin who seen that. I remember when she was younger and she I think she finally saw the video. And she had came to me randomly was when she visited to see her family, and and uh I remember she just brought up brought it up like 9-11. She was just and she was like teary eyed, teary eyed about the um, you know, what's going on. I'm assuming she ain't never seen it before that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

So I was interested in how she was like breaking it down and like how she was kind of like it was you can tell it was hitting a nerve. I I I just thought that was interesting, but it's like I think people need to remind themselves where they are and like take a step back and like be thankful, like some of the stuff that's that they have and stuff.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yeah, I remember where I was when 911 happened. I remember Yeah, I remember exactly where I was when I watched the OJ chase. I mean, of course I was young, but I remember seeing the four Broncos. It's funny, you remember those certain things like that. Like, you know, like where you were, what you're doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

But it's like it's like when I say like when people say like like when they look at older videos of TV and be like, oh, this is this this used to be on TV back in the day. Like it's something it kind of goes to that point where they don't even show you 9-11 footage on t on TV now, but but it's it it ca it kind of plays into it because like like I said, when they uh uh like like when people watch older stuff from back then, or my version of back then is early two thousand, but when people watch stuff from the early two thousand, they're like, this is like like uh uncensored, like this will come on TV, like yeah, it's like do you not know what used to what what happened in the same like 10 years spent? Like you don't know what happened that it's almost like weird. It's like like it's like did they edit that out of your mind?

SPEAKER_01

Like they mean even so TV shows back then, like everybody loves Raymond, like they like that show's obviously over in Dulith and have to cast his death. Anyways, they have like young people watch it now and they hate it. They're like, it's it's it's it's racist and this and that and that and this, and it's just like wow, man, like that was considered one of the like wholesome shows when I was growing up, like Leave It to Beaver or some shit. I've never heard it. Leave it to Beaver. I heard of it, yeah. I mean I didn't watch it growing up, but still. Um but yeah, you know, you're right, man. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

It kind of w worries me how people how people just seem to like m like move on to stuff they don't even look back on. But it it goes into that whole agenda where it's like I I kinda understand why the why they think they can why the uh why they think they can control and control people and do all this stuff. It kinda I mean it makes sense now because if people are already forgetting 9-11 that fast, I can kind of see why they it's so it's so easy to control people. Yeah, people really are stupid.

SPEAKER_01

Like I said, they control the narrative. Whoever controls the narrative.

SPEAKER_02

They don't believe everything really believe it.

SPEAKER_01

Like they people really let's the bigger the lie, the more believable. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_02

It is people don't realize that's because it truly is even being raised on TV is already like everybody's first life lessons and all that life, but everything's first things come from TV. So of course, if you learn that growing up, you're gonna be programmed everything you see by the TV. So if it's on the TV, like people never really think to look back, like, huh, is I'm be just the first things I'm being shown, then you're most likely gonna grow up with that, you're gonna grow up with a certain view of things, and you're not you don't think that it can be fake.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

The order you give something.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, don't believe everything you hear or read. Never judge a book by its cover and do your own research for crying out loud. Think for yourself. Don't think what other people tell you to think, or what the media tells you to think, or your friends or social media tell you to be to be.
