creatings everybody thank you for tuning in a dangerous misinformation. I'm your host, Rodney Smith. This is the only podcast in the world where we love everybody. We make fun of it. Is. It. Even a podcast? I don't even know. I hate the word podcast because everybody has a fuck what is a podcast? What's the difference between a YouTube video and a podcast or a show? You know? What's the difference? Who cares there's no difference. Podcast is a podcast used to be a platform it used to be like the Apple podcast app right? Podcast is like calling all it's like calling all serial corn flakes is like calling everything a podcast. This isn't even a podcast. Dude it's a fucking show okay and welcome to it. This is the only show in the world where we love everybody. We make fun of everything and I appreciate you being here. I'm on day 2 of heaven to sniffles and I feel like dart and I feel very congested and I got a headache and I'm just tired dude
00:01:27,840 --> 00:02:12,080
I'm tired in general, I'm tired I'm tired with life. I'm tired with love. I'm. Tired with liberty, I'm tired of the pursuit of happiness I don't get why people kill themselves though because like if you ever you know very dark topic, but like why wouldn't you just check out and just stop doing all the things that you're supposed to do you know, I feel like when people get to a point where they take the the final that final step, it's cause they don't want to participate in' worldly activities anymore I haven't wanted to deal with worldly activities for a very long time, but I'm at the point where I' would never harm myself and I'm just kind of like I just kind of want to check out and see what happens what's the worst that can happen um,
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:13,440
00:02:13,440 --> 00:03:02,780
Yeah maybe maybe if I had a kid or something like that that would change, but yeah dude I'm just bored with everything kind of sick of everything. And I'm just I'm just exhausted, I'm just tired dude' you know, people look at me, sometimes they have it all figured out and I don't I don't think anybody ever actually fully does you know things going ups and down so whenever things are down for me I was just like to remember myself well, the downswing always comes before the upswing and then when things are going good you feel kind of embarrassed for when things were even bad and it's not like things are even bad for me. Right now like said, I'm just I'm just fucking exhausted, I'm just drained and I'm not even just like being said I'm just to be honest, we're gonna have a vulnerable episode let's have a vulnerable episode I guess I'm just
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:03,600
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:13,420
I'm just exhausted and I'm sick of rejection. I guess you can call it it's like I'm getting rejected blatantly to my face, but it's just like the lack of
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:14,680
00:03:14,680 --> 00:04:11,980
you feel so much resistance in every it's like it's just every aspect of life and I don't know if it's just you know the grass is greener on the other side but I just I just I just don't every step along the way, it's just always fucking something and the worst of it is like health issues you know what I mean if my health was 100% in order, but I think all it is so I actually have this really good German doctor now and he he's really he's a he's a huge G and I might just boil down to I might just have some sort of like sealy act as it like yeah I might just have a serious gluten and tolerance because I was feeling absolutely fine absolutely perfect when I was only eaten meats and vegetables here recently but I lost a bunch of weight and I was like dude I feel disgusting like I couldn't even look at pictures of myself and I it's like I can't be. Calling fat slobs fat slobs if I'm just this disgusting
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:46,180
skinny twig running around looking interexic you know like I have. I have. A problem in the opposite direction in that case like I can tell my ass to go to the gym which I do go to the gym but there was a time so when I decided OK, I'm gonna start eating bread and shit again cause I need to put some weight on I was like washing down bacon with chocolate milk and then following up my breakfast with the bowl of cereal and drinking a glass of apple juice afterwards and then eating burritos for lunch, then making a stack of pancakes and then for lunch eating a steak just doused and buttery garlic.
00:04:49,160 --> 00:05:19,900
Yeah, and you know then and for dinner I'd make like a bowl of pasta and eat a big ass thing of ice cream and and so I slowly put on like £5 again but then my I got this fucking joint paint started up again and it's like my hand my hands feel all like I feel like I got like these 2 fingers right here like I've been. I think I was playing tackle football yesterday I did. This is how I used to feel when I was playing football and it's like I did anything important
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,240
00:05:25,480 --> 00:06:24,940
I think it's just the bread just declaring World War IV on my asshole cause when it gets in your intestines right if you have think about when you're allergic like if you're allergic to pollen, if you know people make fun of the whole gluten thing but think about just regular allergies if you're allergic to pollen you see what it does to your eyes and your sinuses and all these things right? These visibly allergy symptoms but so if you have a food allergy and you're ingesting a bunch of' this and everything's bread, try to get away from wheat dude, it's hard, as fuck so if you have a gluten and tolerance and you're eating that think about the havoc that it's doing to your insides that you can't visibly see with your eyes but it's obviously causing all sorts of reactions uh, inflammation and all sorts of things and so because basically your whole nervous system and immune system starts on your gut. If you have bad gut health it's gonna trans transfer into other areas um and then if your immune system goes hey wire it starts attacking things where there's nothing even wrong because what your immune system supposed to do
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:33,700
is attack invaders but so once your immune system gets fucked up it's like having a drunk immune system where it can't spot the bad invaders you know,
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:35,480
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:49,940
so yeah, that's what we're hoping now hopefully the Zajim and doctors right so I gotta go back in in 6 weeks. Do like a follow up and I'm just going to take that test I. Don't know why I. Didn't order that test
00:06:52,280 --> 00:07:30,220
well yeah bro. I'm just I'm just exhausted, that's kind of the moral of the story I'm exhausted with not feeling well I'm exhausted with the idea that I' have to go back to the airplane hanger I really don't want to I don't think I'm going to even though I know it's like a safe hunter grand like if I go pick up this contract if I go pick up this contract it'll be, you know like $50 an hour, but I just I don't want to go backwards I don't want to I'd rather I would rather make like $30,000 fucking working for myself than making a hundred grand working at some mega corporation, you know.
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:52,900
Sorry sipping that topochico gotta stay hydrated, dude it's a big part of being sick staying hydrated. Yeah, just the idea of having to go back at all that bullshit is you know, really irk in the inner millennial
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,980
and yeah, where was I going with that
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,580
I forget. I'm just getting in my fields. About it
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:04,940
00:08:05,200 --> 00:09:05,000
since we're having kind of a dark episode you know what I've noticed as I've gotten older is my relationship with alcohol I'm really developing a dislike for it and I don't think I'll ever not be a drinker' because it's like that Burt Cricher modelockey went on where sometimes just being at the airport and having some drinks are going on vacation and ripping some Momosas or just having some beers in general alright every once in a while you can't beat that it's glorious and I always want to be healthy enough to be able to do that like Bert Christ or said but I just remember when I started drinking when I was younger I think I started drinking around the time I was 17 and uh while I remember beforehand so when I was when I was a kid in Germany and you know my mom will take us with her to the it was just kind of normal it's part of the culture. There you go to these big like wine festivals that are like big carnival things you know be hanging out with all the kids be hanging out the adults be hanging out, all the adults just be getting hammered and I would see adults get drunk
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:54,180
and they would be acting weird and it's the same way. Like people with mental illness always kind of freaked me up because they were unpredictable I've always one of those people were really study my environment and I find patterns probably cause I'm autistic and they call that pattern recognition but then when somebody be under the influence of alcohol I would be like I don't I don't there this person's unpredictable. I don't like it I can't predict it like their behavior doesn't make sense to me and so even as a little kid it really grossed me out and. Then when I became a teenager when I was like 16 and we started going to parties, I would see kids get hammered and they would do dumb shit like take their clothes off and run around in the street or I see him pukin and sorry keep my noses my noses plugs. If you hear me go. You know, like breathing into the microphone. I apologize, but I gotta like take a big gulp of air every couple seconds. I'm trying my best here. Okay,
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,740
excuse me. Maybe I can get that out in post production as good as I can, but we'll see
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:01,920
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:59,300
what was I talking about oh yeah so I would see people strutting around Hammer, just doing dumb shit or getting a car accident so I was like I don't really like this stuff I don't like the idea that but then I started, then I drank one night and then you know me and my me and my close friends started drinking and partying and what it was at the time then we were just these young dudes was it was just we were just the same people, but then it would we would drink and it would turn up the silly. So it would be a group of people that I trusted my friends, my homies or we go to house parties, whatever would be, but at that time at that age all the drinking would do really is like I said it would just turn up the silly the silly meter, everything we'd be doing the same dumb shit we'd be doing as kids anyways it's just like adding a layer of redonculusness to it right but then after a while right then after a couple years of this you start realizing things are getting a little darker and some of the people aren't necessarily having fun on the booze anymore.
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:21,300
They actually get sad when they're drinking it or some people might get angry or weird shit starts happening you know, like a friend got in a car accident when we were 16 and she passed away and you know it turns out that she was drinking and driving like she was trying to make it home at her her curfew. Um she was drunk, you know she was speeding home and she passed away
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,180
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,100
you know you just see other things like people.
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:26,040
00:11:26,040 --> 00:12:26,020
the dark shit of alcohol starts happening right especially then you know when you get older then in your 20s it's still then you start going out to the bars, then the bars are this brand new fun experience it's like this whole new. You go from drinking at someone's decrepid kitchen whose parents are at a at a lake somewhere. Something like that for the weekend. So you're drinking in someone's kitchen you' know having fun passing out on floors doing all this house party bullshit right and then once that starts. Getting kind of old you finally turned 21 and I go okay now we go to the bars, now we get to go drink with a bunch of strangers somewhere else we don't have to worry about getting busted this is fun, then you do that for, like 5 years right but then you start to notice people sitting in the bars, people that you know sitting in the bars by themselves same things shit starts getting dark. They're just like drink into feel normal or drink into escape problems or just uh, you know like something with the booze. It just always goes into this dark place and it hasn't for me. Fortunately like I've never been a
00:12:26,160 --> 00:13:00,660
like sad drinker getting angry when I'm drunk or something like that but I see it in people around me that I care about that when they drink they just get fucking angry or just like there's something like some other bottled up shit you know what I mean and they and they always say that drunk drunk words or sober thoughts. I remember hearing that when I was way younger and that always kind of made sense to me but I just I don't you know like I just don't like what I've seen and I don't want to be too specific about it because you would know like
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:02,480
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:40,180
yeah, I just don't like seeing what has done to a lot of people close to me and I mean. A lot of people close to me have booze problems. They straight up have booze problems and that feels like it feels judgmental of me to say because I'm not perfect. I have my own demons right, but I just think that's one of those things that you can really could, or maybe people can't, control it. You know in my mind is like, okay this is something you can control you can control how much booze you can take but I think that some people they have whatever monkey that is on their back to where they feel like they need to drink at certain times then they drink and then but they don't even enjoy the drinking or'
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:41,120
00:13:41,120 --> 00:14:12,860
I've seen it where friends and family and whoever like where they're fucking shaking when they're not having the booze and they're just like, what's the difference between alcohol and like heroin you know what I mean like if you're an alcoholic you're straight up drug addict. That's what you are I'm not saying I'm saying that lovingly right, but like if you drink every single day right if you're under the influence of' alcohol every single day, that's no different than' somebody doing fucking coke every day or whatever else it is except it's it's legal like you trust the government just because the government says that's legal doesn't mean it's good,
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,020
00:14:14,800 --> 00:15:13,800
why would you I don't trust the government for shit and so just because the just because some booze lobby paid off the government, finally I have to say okay this should be legal and I think everything should be legal if everybody wants to do it they want to do go do it just don't fund it and don't' allow in the cities when people do crimes to. Actually I don't think everything should be legal because I don't know. I just I don't just don't like drugs and alcohol bro like I'm just getting to that point in my life where I just don't like it and the destruction of' it has made me it's made me look at life in' a certain way. Um, I do find it annoying once people finally get sober and they look at everybody else like huge degenerates who can manage to have one or 2 drinks a week. It's like anything else do it' in' moderation. I just like I said I don't see any difference between cocaine and alcohol once you go to like heroin and smoke and meth and all this weird shit okay, like that's in its own league cause that's some but I mean there's hobos that are just pure alcoholics I mean, I would bet 1t of
00:15:13,800 --> 00:16:12,260
if you don't talk to a bunch of drug addicts in homeless people and people with mental health issues I guarantee you they will say that it started with alcohol because alcohol is the easiest shit to get you. Can get it cheap as fuck. It's so easy to consume and it's so addicting because you see peep. I mean with the hangover right you know you have a hangover then you drink a beer and you're fine again so that's how' people get on that' carousel where luckily I've always had this thing about me. Where were when I'm hungover the last thing I wanna do is drink because I just can't have in the back while I might not know what's happening there and I don't like being addicted to stuff. Um, and so that's last thing I wanted like when I've been fucked up for it that's why I don't like doing mushrooms or something like that because you're high for like 6 hours and if you don't have that comparison right like that's why people that' smoke weed every single day like how is that even fun? Just constantly being high if you don't know normal how is the high even fun? That's why I like doing these things in extreme moderation and
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:13,200
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:31,780
I don't know. Sounds judgmental of' me but anyways happy, happy, happy, Friday you guys, you made it to Friday I hope you have an amazing weekend. I hope you had get some time to do the things you want to do and unwind and don't drink yourself stupid and do something stupid all right.
