0:00 mainly because we forgot that our forefathers created this country as the land of opportunity even if it's Shady opportunity [Music] all right so you guys remember during obviously the pandemic everything went really really crazy in different ways one of the things that came about it was something known as the eviction um moratorium you guys remember what that is they couldn't kick you out they couldn't kick you out right uh well here's the thing the particular City uh Berkeley their City's eviction moratorium has just been lifted and you talk about the University Berkeley Berkeley area yeah Berkeley okay yeah so the Berkeley Property Owners Association they actually the a bunch of landlords basically got together and celebrated
0:51 this in a public place oh ████ like we could kick our people oh which led to protests and rights and people coming out and then eventually eventually a lot of fist fights and ████ like that ended up having people got attacked and stuff like that bro this is wild they got vintage vintage Jiu Jitsu yeah I get their sentiment but the way they went about it is kind of ████ up but like if you that is weird if you do have a home and you're relying on that rental income and for like 12 months or whatever you're getting paid nothing and you still have to pay a mortgage and property tax people lose their house to the bank like that when the renters don't they can get foreclosed forever so I that's dope that yay the incomes come in but then like like out and we have a party in a public place yeah it's a public place yeah it's a little extra well there are people
1:41 that have like their homes being squatted in for years and no one's paying rent they're just like sick of it they don't they feel like they can't do anything about it and then it's probably like a big celebration too we get to kick out this ████ senior citizen well I guess it comes down to just like the uh just the way right because like on both sides it's like it either sucks or it's understood or whatever right but yeah like if you're gonna throw a cocktail party maybe maybe do it in one of the homes you own you know what I mean maybe do it in like a very undisclosed private place versus in a place that like as much as you're right it does seem like there's a ████ up part about it celebrate after you kick them out and then use that house to celebrate in yeah don't celebrate don't celebrate
2:31 while the person's still in the house yeah wait and then but yes invite them after I mean how do you protect how do you make laws to where you protect people that are like having a hard time and then how do you protect from the scam artists that use those laws to exploit people that are homeowners so it's like I don't know man catch 22. yeah because then it's like the law was put in place because it's like a lot of people lost their jobs and then they're like oh ████ well I still need a place to live but I don't know like maybe later I'll pay you know when I get a job that's reasonable right but there's also crews out there that are like what we're gonna do is we're gonna go move into this nice new mansion and then we're gonna move in our neighbors and family and we're gonna house party every
3:21 night and never pay rent it was like how do you find a battle I think the part that's ████ up is like it's like three parties you have like uh like the politician and then you have like the halves and the have-nots and then the politicians are kind of going like wait you got strong legs hey sit on your shoulders and then so that's the kind of like that's the relationship while the politicians can just flip that scenario whenever they want versus it's I feel like if I was a person holding the person's legs I'm like well if you want to help people so that let's take turns you he said on your shoulders too but then it's not it's never that way so you just kind of make the people just fight each other and then so that now those guys are like at each other's um like throats when that shouldn't even be the relationship because it's the
4:11 politicians making the rules that pit people against each other you guys know what I'm saying yeah that's that's politics baby I know that's what ████ sucks like for example like at our gym right like gyms are one of the hardest ones to get hit with the pandemic we got shut down twice as soon as we got shut down um we're like oh ████ like a lot of our staff are young they're like 19 20 20 21 but like they rely on this income so um me Gio and one of our other like Senior Management members were like let's cut our income in half and we'll just pay them we'll pretend like they're still on shift and we just pay them hourly wages as if they're working 20 hours a week because at this time we didn't know about unemployment or anything like that we just knew these guys live in the surrounding areas no one has jobs let's just pay
5:01 and that's something that we were willing to take on and without the politicians like involvement so that actually felt very honest and it felt good versus if the politicians were to just come in you pay him and then you do this to him then now that they reverse the situation now all of a sudden there's like this weird animosity and it's like it feels weird yeah that's amazing what'd you do for your employees a lot of them don't work with us anymore so I don't know if it was awesome yo y'all hiring yeah sure yeah even during that time too right like people were applying for like business PPP loans that were forgiven and stuff like that and whatnot and it's like us like with our business structure The Way We Were what we were applying for we could only get so much help based off like taxes that we had paid in previous years and the way that was written down
5:52 and then other people are creating ████ fake llc's and pulling in hella money you know you know how much money they lost from PPP scams billions oh there's people that took so much of that and like they're not being caught like no one's getting in trouble for it there's people in jail that even filed for unemployment and they're getting like the 3 600 uh ████ a week check too yeah there's definitely a lot of people who who are getting away with it but some people are getting getting slapped on the wrist during that time what kind of ████ up the economy was like so you gave a bunch of companies forgiveness loans or a ton of money to loans so they can survive the pandemic right but at the same time you gave a ton of just people in general like money so a lot of their employees that left they
6:44 didn't want to come back because they were getting more money from um by not working by not working yeah so they didn't the government didn't actually just match their paycheck they gave them a ton of money so you were making like 3K a week or whatever doing nothing and then you're like well if I start working I'm gonna lose this yeah so why should I work that's ████ up so that there was a lot of yeah I think it was just like faulty system they they acted too fast and it's like I I don't know like it was good that people got paid but at what cost like we're dealing with that now yeah damn I had to work you should have got PVP I mean no you should have got the unemployment yeah the part that sucks is when you look back at it you're like the people that bent the rules
7:35 benefited the most and the people that try to play it the correct way kind of got the ████ into the stick yeah the people that kept their jobs they actually for following the rules they actually didn't make as much yeah because one of our other friends who's a YouTuber in his LLC he has one employee which is him right because he owns his channel he fired himself and claimed EDD that 3 600 uh a month or whatever and uh so he was able to collect that by him firing himself but technically the YouTube money is still in his pocket and when he told me about that I was like he's like you should do it too I was like dude that's ████ genius but it sounds ████ ████ up it's not scary and then looking back I was like you calculate that times that by 12 or like oh ████ I think that was
8:27 like ████ 70 G's or something crazy number like should I have done that you know it's crazy I know we like played by the rules yeah we didn't exploit anything and I'm like how come all these people are winning doing that I wish I did that but I didn't I had another friend he got the PPP loan he has like a eight-figure company so their loans are huge because they match your last three years of income he got the PVP loan I think he got like maybe 8 million or something he used that money to buy a warehouse under a different company and then now he uh rents it to his current company so he used that to buy commercial space so there's just people that are like they see the opportunity and when I like look at things I'm like it just doesn't feel right yeah and then I'm like but then because I don't I don't feel right now I'm not balling like this guy
9:20 we don't feel right both ways yeah the opportunity comes it doesn't feel right and then you see your friends get the opportunity and it doesn't feel right seeing them ████ win I feel like California you just bend it at this point bend it because they don't really care yeah California it's California you know I mean they don't even care about criminals as much so ████ it that's what it seems like dude just bend no one cares they don't care I said maybe that's because we forgot that our forefathers created this country as the land of opportunity even if it's Shady opportunity I mean she wrote that in there put in parentheses Shady and then just in God we trust you know what I mean it's not even like people that run this ████ we should run some scams I knew some people that they were trying to apply for the unemployment but somebody claimed it for them and you're like what so they got checks to
10:10 somebody else through their own name and they're like it's going to a completely different address like I don't know who this ████ person because they have the same name I don't know I just no social security probably got jacked yeah it was unlucky bro just got got so a lot of and he this is a person that needed it he was like a massage therapist during the pandemic yeah and he actually needed it yeah bro and he looked and he was he's like who's gonna massage me yeah yeah yeah [Music] thank you
