The Nightly Rant

Mike starts the show by sharing some good news that their last episode about Onlyfans was the #1 most downloaded episode in 2021. He said OnlyFans fucked up. Mike believes that content creators are the laziest motherfuckers on Earth. 

Torya agrees that OnlyFans fucked up. She then wonders why porn addicts just don’t browse in Pornhub and have not to pay and explore all the free contents Mike actually searched for that question and the only logical answer he had read, that they got obsessed with the particular person and that person was smart enough to not give everything free.

Then they talked about when Mike was building the website for The Small Business Bootcamp and searching for a membership site, he found out one membership site for .25 cents a month for access to his blogs and his alleged subscribers were 1.2 million subscribers. You would have $250,000 a month, which is a decent amount of cash just for a MONTH. They continue to talk and agree that this is an interesting theory of being inexpensive. 

Then they talked about Bree that is now 2 years old and how she became a regal dog and full of feelings. So loyal, protective and loving. The dog has evolved into an amazing creature who just loves people.

Then Mike shared some bad news, there are no more pigs in the zoo. Mr. Fin passed on 30 days after Ozzy. Mike was sad that Mr. Fin was alone so he kept taking him out, petting him during the day, and talking to him. But unfortunately, he didn't make it and it's sad. MIke wonders if he can love something, but he realizes that he has Torya and the dogs. 

Mike opens the show by sharing another infamous Am I The Asshole post and how Torya picks these suckers based on the level of hilariousness. 

Torya then read the post and asked Mike if the poster was the asshole. Mike answered yes and points out that people having sex happens naturally, and they're not gonna have sex coz they have work the next day, but the poster purposely embarrassing them by putting applause track up to their ceiling is harassment. Why does the poster have the say when their neighbor had the say when to have sex.

Torya believes that no one was the assholes because it’s completely okay to have sex and completely okay to harass your neighbor and be reported to the management. It's a natural cycle of things. Or they were both assholes.

Mike then says that he has a bad habit. She agrees that Mike listens to what other people have to say. But the problem is, if he has looked up to something and he decided 100% that it is this way, then he will be angry at the other person because they were that bad and then come to another person help him realize to look that thing in the different perspective. But he will still be pissed.

Mike believes he is in the minority for this kind of decision. He was in a fringe group. He wanted to understand what the other side was thinking, and he might change to that side. It's just his way. Mike firmly believes that the poster was the asshole for not admitting the harassment.

Torya then shares her 2 points. 1st point was why both of them were assholes. It is a pretty dick move to embarrass someone that the poster decided to play an applause track after their neighbor's love-making. It's a dick move. Torya says she will definitely do this. It is also an equal dick move to report somebody to the management for harassment after you know you keep them up for hours and all they did was to embarrass you a little. People should be more aware of their neighbors. 

Then Toryaend the show by reading one funny comment in the post “kick down the door and say player 3 has entered the game” and that gave them a good laugh. 

Mike opens the show by sharing some exciting amazing news, The Small Business Bootcamp is finally taking off. To celebrate this launch, tonight on the show they have an amazing guest, Andrew Calderella. 

Andrew was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1966 to parents fighting for the civil rights movement. His life is a combination of The Rocky Story, Think and Grow Rich, & The Celestine Prophecy on steroids!  He has been through so many harrowing and intense situations that those stories alone could fill volumes. He has overcome dyslexia, other learning disabilities, being legally blind in one eye, and being bullied to become a school leader, athlete, and attain university degrees in Speech & Communications, Religious Studies, and Eastern Philosophy.

He has lived overseas, traveled the world, is a martial artist, yogi, and what many call a health and fitness fanatic. He is a serial entrepreneur and has run a successful strategic consulting firm for over 20 years. He is the creator of The 7th Foundation & One Movement and the bestselling author of The Way, 7 Revolutionary Steps to Living a Meaningful Life & Making a Real Difference in the World. He is an inspirational speaker, trainer, and coach who specializes in helping athletes, entertainers, entrepreneurs, executives, and other leaders to become their best in all areas of life while making a more significant positive impact on our world.

Mike asks Andrew how he overcomes his learning disability - dyslexia. Andrew says he just learns how to compensate for it. What society has negatively labeled as “Learning Disabilities” are really just “Learning Differences” and alternative ways of thinking that often come with great gifts. 

Then he shares what inspires him to write the book The Way is his experience as a kid, all the trauma and trials in life, and how to overcome these challenges and to be the best people we can be, to be happy. What he found is you need to find a firm foundation in all these areas so if you want to be the best version of yourself. How we can be on the same page and how this foundation of life joins together to make changes in our society we all truly want. 

Then they talked about how the book changed Andrew's life after the publication of his book. 

The golden rule: treat others the way you want to be treated. Respect life, all people are equal, and treat other people the way you want to be treated. These three alone can solve our problems. 

Then Andrew discusses how these principles can help with the division. He points out that we are not divided. People are just misled and uneducated. Violence will never lead to peace. 

Torya then asks Andrew if he thinks it starts with only 1 person making the change in their mindset or a group of people making a real movement for it. 

Andrew then talked about how One Movement works.

Mike opens the show by saying how lucky he is with his life. He can live his life as much as he has, he has 4 amazing kids, 1 failed marriage, and now this marriage which to be honest he couldn’t ask for a better marriage if he designed it himself from the scratch. Like if he went to a subway of marriages, he could not create a better one than this one. 

He’s also proud of all of his children in different ways. They all have their own things and he’s proud of them. Then they talked about Mitchell, his youngest son, and how he is amazing. And recently, after their doctor visit, Mike asked the doctor about the potential long-term side effect of the vaccine. And the doctor made a great point that the side effects you know for sure you can get from COVID are far worst than anything you can get from the vaccine. His point was he feels that you need to live and make your decision based on the known and not on the unknown coz the unknown will remain unknown for such a long period of time.

Fast forward, Mitchell comes to Mike and discusses how he wants to have the vaccine to be able to live a somewhat normal life. He really was proud of him for taking his time to make a decision on something that big. How fast time flies and soon he’ll be off to college.

Then Torya discusses another Am I The Asshole post about a waitress in a restaurant chain known for their ice cream and asking if she is wrong for not wanting/allowing him to order the Mac and cheese that makes their child sick. Then she asks Mike what his point is about this.

Mike’s answer is unexpected. The waitress is not the asshole in the story. If that lady didn’t open her mouth and still serves the kid with mac and cheese even though the mom already knows that her kid will throw up and their gonna leave and the poor woman will gonna clean that disgusting vomit. His answer is surprising for him because typically he would answer to let their own business. But this is her business. Because she is the one who will clean up the mess their child made. He really turns rant mode on. What kind of parent gives their children something they know for sure will make them sick. And how they feel so entitled in the restaurant. Even the dogs are kinda scared. That’s why this was called the Nightly Rant.

Torya 100% agrees with Mike’s stand about this post. And how the other people think this was child abuse. She also points out how that child didn’t bother to go to the bathroom when throwing up. She thinks that the child was the real asshole in the post. She didn’t expect that Mike will go rant on about this topic. Then they think about maybe the parents didn’t believe in food allergy, the same topic with the last AITA post they talked about.

Then they talked about how lunatic people think about a certain scenario: Government made up COVID. COVID is fake. There are videos of people in the hospitals. There are people coming online talking about how they had covid. The extent to which this conspiracy is to be spread is just impossible. COVID is not FAKE! The word is RADLY SUSS. 

Then they talked about the name of the episode. Torya says it should be RADLEE SUSS. Mike says that was racist. Mike points out that SOCIETY is one big ball of competition. Then they talked about in the future episodes they will talk about their favorite conspiracy theories. If you like those topics, please feel free to let them know at [email protected] Drop Mike a message in Matchmaker. It’s cool to get some feedback from you guys. Torya ends the show by joking with Mike about how he loves talking.

Mike opens the show by saying that Torya and Olympic divers have something in common, they are both afraid of things that come from above. It’s true. 

Then Torya shares an article she read about in The Onion and how Olympic divers were tormented by hawks that built nests on a nearby platform. Here’s the link to the article: https://www.theonion.com/olympic-divers-tormented-by-hawks-that-built-nest-on-ne-1847415058

Then she shares how horrified she was on this kind of stuff and how she was scared of birds, and imagine its size -  5 feet wingspan. Mike believes this was fiction and no way this was real. 

Then Torya says that how entertaining the news will be if it is written the same manner as they write The Onion, you will want to listen. Mike always laughs when he hears brief snippets of the news in a monotone voice and how you can get the whole news in a podcast. He doesn’t want that. 

Torya thinks that news reporters tried so hard to have zero emotions because they’re reporting the news and are technically supposed to be unbiased but none of them are actually unbiased that they end up sounding like a bunch of spineless maggots. They have no spine, they have no opinion and they’re nothing useful. She thinks if people read the news like how she read that article, you would be riveted and you would be so into whatever they are talking about. 

He points out that they need to inject their personality, they need to be storytellers. Take the news and story tell it coz that’s how it makes it interesting. Then Torya talks about some Canadian shows that parody the news.

Then they talked about how the news should be interesting, but Mike disagrees that the news should be informative. Then they argue because they were now lost at what topic they are talking about. 

Mike then asks Torya what is her favorite for the year 2021. She then thinks that her favorite memory will be their trip to Vegas, he agrees to it. But He feels that the bigger memory than the trip itself is what happens in the buildup to the trip, the things that change among them and what they maintain after the trip is what is amazing. Anyone can go on vacation and have those lovey-dovey times and be connected but to get it before you go, build it while you’re there and when you come back keep it at a high level is why he always says they were a great team. Then they talked about things they should have done while in Vegas. 

They end the show by saying this year 2021, a dog-friendly patio is one of the things you can search in Yelp.

Torya opens the show by asking what Mike thinks about the situation where you bring your own food to your mother in law’s BBQ party because you have a food allergy. Mike believes the asshole in the story was the mother-in-law because, let’s be real, whether you believe in food allergy or not. It’s safer to trust the word of that person. Whether you believe they exist or not. You can’t just dismiss that fact.

She then tells a story about one person she knows that her mother-in-law didn’t believe she was lactose intolerant. In one family gathering, she decided to test the mother-in-law on thanksgiving day and destroy the bathroom. The smell destroyed the dessert after.

They all agreed that the father-in-law was also the secondary asshole. Torya believes that defending the spouse is not necessary but Mike strongly disagrees because they usually got each other’s back. They both agreed that this episode is just short.

The moral of the story is the original poster is not the real asshole.

Mike opens the show by saying that the news has gone crazy lately. Torya disagrees and said that the news was already crazy starting January 2020.

Then they talked about the news about how one naked lady was wedged in between two buildings. And how the news is now gone cuckoo crazy about stuff like this because maybe they are tired of reporting about COVID 19.

Torya then talked about the restaurant in Huntington Beach known for ignoring the covid guidelines and now calls for only unvaccinated diners. The news seems to think that if they ignored the covid guidelines, they should not be allowed to have any financial assistance. Mike points out that this is because they are an authoritarian society and it’s okay for them to dictate what other people should do or not do. Anybody who thinks that SCIENCE had anything to do with the pandemic response in this country, needs their head examined.

Torya then asks the question, “If they’re breaking the law and therefore shouldn’t get any public assistance to their business in the state of California, then why is the state of California giving Medicaid to people who break the law in entering the country?” Mike answers that why people side more often on the right than the left is because he personally feels the left is extremely inconsistent.

She then shares one hilarious thing in the news lately: how the state of California “mandated that all healthcare workers should have the vaccine”. She points out that if you read the article it says that either you take the vaccine or get tested weekly.

Then Mike says that he avoided Twitter for a while because he always sees posts about Biden proudly saying that they have more growth in the economy in a 6 month period than any other 6 month period in history. He points out that don’t forget that the complete year before that the economy shut down, and just recently opened. She also says that the 2020 suicide rate was also high, the sad side effect of this pandemic.

Then they talked about the trip they had in Vegas last weekend and how they had a great time. They were amazed at how Fremont Street was back to normal and was not crowded even on a Sunday night. There were enough people that it had the energy back but not so many that felt like they were sardines. They also went to Resorts World for the first time and the place was really RAD. They had lunch in the food court. Then they talked about the 4 ladies walking in front of them on the way to the restaurant and how one lady was not wearing a top. Torya confirms it and Mike says she is on the prowl. Overall it was a RAD trip and brought them closer together.

They announced the sad news that when they were on the trip, their baby piggy, named Mr. Ozzy passed away. Mike ends the show by talking about their pet animals and how the animals are now sleeping.

Mike opens the show talking about how Torya discovered the secret to a happy life.

She said that the secret to a happy life is to be stupid. It’s easier for stupid people. Mike asks how it can be easier for them when they can't see the next thing that will come to them. They can't prepare for it. She points out that you can’t stress about them either. It will happen to you when it happens.

He then asks if she’s presuming that stupid people can't perceive their future. She says no, she says that dumb people dont see the cues to let them know something awful is gonna happen.

Torya believes that this episode is her rantiest show ever. Then she changed her rule that oblivious people are truly the happiest.

Then they talked about how the smartest dog is still oblivious. Then they talked about how Bree was consistent about going to the P-A-R-K. Simple life they have. She’s just a happy dog. Even cats have pretty simple thoughts just like Jasper. He disagrees with it, he believes that cats have more complicated thoughts, they are learning. Like a toddler.

Torya points out how oblivious people do not stress over things. Mike then shares that he doesn’t agree with this at all. She observes that highly intelligent people tend to be cynical, salty, and dark. She equates being cynical = unhappiness. The more cynical you are, the more unhappy you are in life. And what Mike's favorite phrase is I think.

Torya says her favorite phrase is “Eat a dick!”.

Then they talked about salty people. Torya explained how the renters complained that the stove in their AirBNB was broken. And how they were using the wrong cooktop in the induction stove. They were outrageous and said that they were still using the same cooktop since morning, but 15 minutes later said that the stove is now working and no apologies after all.

Torya ends the show by saying that nobody will be salty in this story if the person in the wrong is owning their part in the problem. Maybe the oblivious people are the ones making the smart people salty?

Mike opens the show by asking Torya to picture this headline and tell him what the reaction would have been: “Trump admits to working with FB to identify people posting misinformation.”

Torya feels this was systemic, outrageous. The left will have an outbreak of tediousness, they will be aggressive and so mad. Mike thinks it is fascist and authoritarian.

He says that the real headline was that Biden admits that working with Facebook to identify people posting misinformation. People are outraged.. People believe that he violates the 1st amendment rights and it's concerning but it's not enough to impeach him. Torya believes that Biden should be thrown into jail for giving out misinformation.

Mike had one consistent belief in all of this. Everyone is responsible for doing their own research and why it's really hard for good people to be good because they are taken advantage of.

Torya asks if Joe Biden is only taking down posts from American people or from anyone in the world? Mike firmly believes he is only taking down posts from the American people. Torya asks why targeting only misinformation posted in a specific country? Not for the worldwide platform?

Mike sometimes experiences that the level of success you get is based upon participation, how well you participate in the game. Putting the pieces together that work for you in an ethical way brings you growth. That’s a key concept to remember when you have a relationship. It works with relationships too!

He pointed out that, wherever the servers are hosted, you will follow the law there. Torya pointed out that Joe Biden was only violating American law and not world law. But she later realizes that Biden is really violating the rights of every Facebook user despite their nationality. Biden really hates everyone!

Then Torya shares her many problems with Vice President Harris. She believes that the Libertarians could pull together strong candidates for 2024 if they start now. Mike hopes beyond hope that it is Justin Amash because they need a big well-known name.

Mike ends the show by emphasizing to DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. By doing this, you can confirm or deny things that are said. Or at least make up your mind by reading on both sides of the issue and which side you agreed on. He shares that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. He strongly believes that the key is don’t let one thing make you decide what you think about the person.

Mike opens the show by saying the term amateur pornography is an oxymoron.

Then they talked about how OnlyFans and porn work.

He points out that if he set aside just accepting the societal norm situation and just thinking how he really feels about the situation. And stop complaining about women and how they dressed. Torya points that you should stop sexualizing women’s breasts.

Then they talked about how people are frowned upon for having multiple partners and how it’s not the government’s business with who people have sex with.

Then they talked about how Bree is growing as a creature, the discipline they were teaching her.

They end the show by saying how Bree learned to ask to go out and how she turned into an amazing pooch.
