He emphasizes the need to reject violence and toxic behavior, urging people to be respectful and understanding without resorting to aggression.

I' just hate that I'm boycotting it uh, this is your first time tuning in oh follow me on Twitter. Follow me on X at Lord Petty underscore cause I fucks with that website and I really wish they would take the band off my account. I said something I called. Somebody like a big chocolate eyed or something on Twitter at one point and then they made me ineligible for any sort of monetization or sharing, or you know how they. Do at the time back at the time the Jack was it Jack Dorsey? Was he the dude or was he the original one I can't remember back when
00:01:31,040 --> 00:02:29,620
the dorks were still in charge of X. I got a streaky and aka strike and I've been trying to recover from a sense I'm going to tell you the story. So why I just said streaky and why the fuck would you say streaky versus strike? And I'm going to explain that in a second? So hopefully I remember that Rodney of the future remember this moment ah, but first I wanna say thank you for tuning in dangerous misinformation. Ah, this is only podcast where we love everybody you make fun of everything and it is time folks, it is time we spread this thing like wildfire we are ready we put in the reps we've been doing this for almost 5 years now we've been doing this for almost 5 years. Think about how crazy that is everything that's gone on in our lives. Everything has gone on in the world all the moments we've shared together the lols we've had and we've had this nice beautiful, close knit family right? But I. I. Think it's time I think it's time we go big with it dude and um, I'm ready for the journey and I'm
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:40,460
stoke for you to come along with it and I'm stoke for us to do this zoo zamin and I explained before. The word zoo zombin means together in German and I'm sorry if my voice it sounds like
00:02:43,800 --> 00:03:03,140
I'm still sick dude, I'm still sick I do know. So back when I was making music the one song that people always really like that I recorded actually recorded it when I was sick and something made my voice sound cool I guess there's something I don't know, but so the whole point let's dive into it the whole point
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:04,580
00:03:05,520 --> 00:04:04,200
this isn't the thing to dive into but I'm gonna tell you why I' said was the word I even said like streaky or something were Tom about strike or whatever is that what it was streaky strike I forget. So when I was a little boy living in the Germany I was completely normal for the kids to go hang out with the adults while they would just chain smoke cigarettes and sound like my voice right now and sit around in each other's apartments and just get hammered on the weekends. Okay, then those kids would just sit around and hailing all the cigarette smoke and absorbing all the adults alcoholism and doing whatever it was right but so we were at Omahozis okay who was basically my like not real grandma, but like my, German grandma, over there okay and so and she had like 8 kids and so one of her kids was basically my godfather and so we were just part of like that family. We lived with them for a couple months his name was UVA. He's coolest fuck. He's actually gay and that's when people say oh you're fucking home. I felt like bro like my grew up with like one of the closest
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:13,260
people ever to me was a fucking gay guy um and I know that's like saying oh I got black friends whatever, but it's like dude, I have nothing like I'm very I get the gay thing
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,260
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,300
I'm not into it though personally
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,760
anyways with that time by oh yeah
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,500
so we lived with UVA and uh
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,440
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,540
so was his mom, all my horsey's house
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,660
so we go to all my horsey's house one night
00:04:28,640 --> 00:05:28,320
and it's all the adults' they're all shit faced and uh, what was in our house was an apartment everybody lives in apartments in Europe, okay and uh, so they're having this' party. We're all sitting in the living room it's filled with smoke everybody must be drunk cause they're all laughing giggling, having a great time us kids are being rambunct just some shit that the neighbors would hate over here okay, and also we here are knock on the door and we're like 20 people deep' at least we are knock on the door. It's this old lady look, I got a booger in my nose right now it's this old lady who was a neighbor. He was even old compared to Omahozi who's probably like 60 still smoking sigs at the time and so this old lady walks in and she's got 2 big like 2l bottles of Sprite right and and I'd had Sprite. I mean sprite's been around for I don't know how long sprite's been around, maybe since the 80s or something probably longer than that I don't know, and so this must have been in like 1999. And so this old lady walks into Olma holsey's house with 2 big things of sprite and she's like,
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:34,620
oh I heard I heard you young people having fun down here and I brought you this new
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,140
and she's it was in German right and so she said does Nojaka trank shh pretty?
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:41,800
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,480
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:49,700
he dropped off this shh pity and I wanted to give it to you because I don't party anymore
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,440
I guess everybody was like super nice like oh thank you thank you so much, you know
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,420
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,080
and then she gave us the shiplety and then uh and then as soon as she walk it was one of those
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:02,880
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:25,440
I hope to god by the time she didn't walk out of the apartment and hear the door close she didn't just hear the place fucking erupt I just remember seeing the tears coming down my mom's face and like her friends like we're like the whole place which is howling and laughter cause I'm sure' they were just hammered they couldn't believe what just happened you know, I'm a kid, so everything's funny to me in, general so I was like, here's
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,000
here's this noi, that's Noiaka, drink
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:28,880
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:29,780
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:37,260
and so said ever since then it's been one of those things where whatever I see a word like knife I'll call to knife or
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:39,500
these people in Silicon Valley right? These people that I admire even though I hate the tech lizards, I do like studying them and they all have this thing where they refuse to accept reality people tell them something is impossible and this is just the way it is and all the great people completely reject that notion in I'm one of these people, and in my realm it is of not a physical product or something in the tangible world or something in the tech industry it's just with life philosophy in the way we carry ourselves I am like I want to be the Steve Jobs of not giving a book when people tell me, oh you go to if you read my book. I have this whole chapter about job interviews right but how stupid and fucking pointless they are they're dumb. The whole thing doesn't make sense
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,280
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:55,680
I don't know why we agreed to behave in these corporate environments and do these things and do these dog and pony shows like no one wants to go to the fucking Christmas party. Okay, we're. Not a fucking family at, work we're. Not nobody wants to know. Like
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:56,680
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:04,940
you have to get to where you start playing along with this shit and then before you know, your whole life's a fucking charade your whole life is just this bullshit corporate like LA?
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:06,440
00:08:06,440 --> 00:09:06,340
I'm not participating in it if you ask me it doesn't have to be like that why can't we be human be normal right why can't we be human be normal not have to play about all these dumb little corporate rules and a little like oooh like I gotta act the certain way cause I'm at work and pretend that I' care about this or pretend I don't go drink a bunch of beer after work. Everybody you work with some form of drug addict, right why do we have to all care? All pretend to be these perfect blah blah blah people why can't you just be a part of something and be respectful of people right? If you're just respectful of' others why does it? Why does it? Matter what what you stand for, you know? Also nearly you got a specify on your social media. These views do not represent my employers like what kind of bullshit? Dumb ass Karen takes something that somebody says I'm like, oh, I need to go talk to their employer you sell insurance. I need to go talk to the insurance company about the stuff that Stephen saying on the Internet about there being way too many fucking migrant sleeping on his house door
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:18,420
and all his tax money is going to pay for wars that don't concern us when you can't put food on the table I don't know dude I just don't get it, I don't get
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,740
you can be honest and be real without being a dick
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:27,720
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:37,960
That's what I try to I try to walk this balance of being honest and being authentic without being a dick to people. I can't take myself serious going into these environments what I got act
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,160
oh, I go to drink with my pinky out
00:09:40,160 --> 00:10:06,740
or I gotta pretend. I laugh at the boss's jokes and shit like that like uh the social politics bro. I have no I have no patience or room for it like if something's dumb something's dumb and also they say you know, I've read the 48 laws of power and I' get it okay I'm not rejecting human nature I'm not saying like I' understand how the world works but I refuse to accept certain parts of it and one of them being
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:07,440
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:59,400
just the the fake fucking corporate shit I want no part of it. I'm not even against like wearing suits and ties and dressing nice and like have it classy shit I love classy shit it was soon as soon as I got wait till I get my money right, you're not gonna see me in normal bars and she do I wanna hang out in steakhouses and drink old fashions and fuck 22 year olds okay, I've noticed I Whenever I go out now I just wanna go home if I'm hanging out in just some regular ass dive bar with the bunch of people talking about uh you know car maintenance or something like that like shoot me shoot me in the head I don't wanna be. I shouldn't even say I came and say that on YouTube, but I just I'm so bored I'm so bored with normal life like I would rather I'd rather just completely just burn out burn all bridges at this point, or try to open up the portal to get into the space of where I don't have to be some fucking pretend corporate Looney cause people at the top
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:00,040
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,480
You might think all these like middle management corporate things oh
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:03,960
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:17,200
no, the people at the top are rail and coke and being ridiculous and having fun and enjoying their lives. Cause they get it cause it's crazy people, all these people in powerful positions they all have some sort of like personality disorder.
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,080
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:24,900
They're all they' all refuse to take' their meds and that's what makes them' genius, so I'm gonna stop' taking my meds
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,180
00:11:28,040 --> 00:12:27,340
I've been I've been actually pretty worried about this I'm gonna be a little vulnerable with you, so I've been taken uh, searcher, lean so what is called for my stomach problems because it keeps telling me that you know the mind gut connection because I'm so wound up because I'm such' a spaz' they tell me it's like everything that makes me creative and fun, and whatever gives me my personality. I think fucks with my like, immune system and all that because it's because I'm just I'm just wired a certain way I'm nuts to put it short okay and uh and so the mind get connections like I don't even realize I have anxiety I don't feel anxious, I don't feel like scared of' anything I don't feel sad of' anything or' whatever, but uh for me like I get anxious if I feel like I'm having stomach problems cause I'm like oh fuck I don't wanna deal with this you know. That makes me anxious but the time is just this loop so they've been trying to put me on like any depressions and shit like that for about 10 years now. I said no no I'm good, no, and I' finally just said okay what do I have to lose at this point because I'm tired of dealing with these digestive issues it is what it is let's try it let's stop eating the bread, let's just take the medicine
00:12:27,800 --> 00:13:15,400
and it had me feeling it really shitty. Initially had me feeling kind of just like dark and I don't know I I don't know like maybe it really turned me down it kind of it took the fog away, but by taking the fog no it almost like added a fog it took it took like the rough edges away, but then it added a fog. You know what I mean where before the edges were like spiky they were now just cloudy and um but I've been I've been pushing through it and I've been worried about' that it'll tone down my creativity, so I've been reading up a lot about it about creatives. Are they like you know? Has this affected your creative output in the way you know? Because I don't want to become a zombie. I don't want to start taking medication and all of a sudden. Next thing you know next time walking in there I was oh, Stephen, how are you doing? How was your weekend
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,120
oh how's' your wife how's' the kids? Oh was it fun
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,260
oh well, you should come over sometime and have dinner I'll show you the new lawn mower.
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:39,860
No dude, I can't do it. I want no part of it. Maybe when I'm afforded maybe maybe when I have a kid some maybe some event in my life will happen to where I will snap into what you might wanna call adult mode or something like that, but as, of right now I just don't give a fuck I wanna talk shit
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,720
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,660
yeah, speaking of talking shit about the world, okay let's jump in and let's stop talking about me
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:48,820
00:13:49,280 --> 00:14:10,660
even though this is my podcast and I can do whatever I want but I wanna be courteous and give you topics that you can ruin your family dinner with. That is the main point of this podcast you'd be able to tune in and get inspiration for things that you can ruin family dinners and uh friend gatherings with okay? And with that I want you to really consider this and really think about what I'm gonna say. Okay
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:12,160
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:18,140
anybody that displays more toxic masculinity than trans women?
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:20,740
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:28,340
fucking entitled dude and if you don't bow down to them they will start mansplaining the shit out of pronouns to you.
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:30,360
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:39,400
that's fine. You don't need to you don't need to start mansplaining to me about how pronouns work and how all this blah blah blah like I get it bro, I get that
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,080
Digender and sex are different
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:46,880
whatever dude are they? I don't care. You go do whatever you want to do just leave me alone that is
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:48,580
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:54,700
toxic masculinity, just trying to force your ways and bully your ways onto people. You know what I'm saying.
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,080
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:25,240
leave that toxic masculinity shit it's behind, you know. It's 2023. We don't need toxic masculinity. More so all you trans women out there stop wanting. To square up and throw fists with people if they say something about trans people because it is very tight it's not very lady like it's not very lady like to wanna throw hands with somebody if you're a trans woman, okay that is toxic masculinity. Violence is toxic masculinity. We should ever have to resort to violence and I don't know why I gotta break this down so much,
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,040
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,820
anyways. Let's get into one more thing here before I let y'all go.
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:48,100
I don't think Tupac was really that great, you know people put Tupac up there and uh to me he just kind of yelled, you know what I'm saying like, he just kind of he never really said anything of substance. He just kind of yelled
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,260
00:15:50,400 --> 00:16:30,380
you know like if you look at like a little John for instance, he yelled as well, but he actually produced his music and it actually made you feel uplifted. You know what I mean. So if you ever talk about all the tupacs of greatest rapper life, I think Little John is way more influential because when snap music came around like it didn't matter what you're doing right you you could be carrying a tray of food at your job or something like that and Little John snap your fingers would come on and you would wanna drop the tray when 2 Park comes on you're like, okay, fuck I gotta sit here and like I actually. Pay attention to what he's saying and then he's not saying much, he's only talking about the things that ended up being his downfall and I think that is just not
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:31,720
00:16:32,960 --> 00:17:14,780
Yeah I just I just think that Little John Gells better than 2 pock, so um anyways, I appreciate y'all tune' and into dangerous misinformation, uh the number one source in the world for dangerous misinformation where everything we say is 100% serious and I don't ever try to make rage bait to chop into little clips and throw on YouTube because they get the most clicks thank you so much for tuning in I'll see y'all tomorrow, please be sure to leave a rating and tell somebody you know the number one way if you look at market research the number one way podcast spread is mouth to mouth friends so you play a huge part in this so I want to thank you very much for anybody you've ever shown this podcast year to go.
