0:00 you know this is actually a good kind of metaphor that he's he's talking about right here like usually he kind of goes off the rails and it doesn't make sense but I'm like that one made sense I make a lot of sense y'all just too dumb to understand [Music] so this has been kind of making its way around the news happy Los Angeles anybody recognize this right here oh you made a tiny house right he did dude the homeless people here are living large you get points dude you get you how does everybody feel about that you get to keep it that's better than tense I'd rather have that than all the tents is it on Wheels it's on Wheels it's transportable wow and this came as a result because the city would continue to come up to him and tell him to remove or take down his tent after a while he's
0:52 like well I can't keep on taking down my tent so we decided to build a house wow wow and technically he can keep it up by way of uh city codes if transients homeless peoples did it clean like that I'll be perfectly supporting them a thousand percent really in front of your business though but on streets if there's a bunch of tiny homes on the sidewalks yep but what if it's like a drug dealing Den well is it clean yeah it's fine it's got to be clean it's got to be clean one of my buddies he's a he's a commercial real estate guy and he manages some property and pasting him somewhere and he says there's this homeless guy that stays in the back and they keep them there because he keeps all the other crazy homeless dudes off his block hey he protects he's like the enforcer he's the enforcer so he's
1:43 like hey you better not kick it over here they need him they need him and they're like they have a relationship with them and he's like yeah bro those dudes were tripping over here we got rid of them blah blah blah so I'm like hey sometimes it works out I mean if you could have that that's amazing that's ████ best case scenario it's the ecosystem yeah that's rare as ████ why that doesn't normally happen because they usually tell their friends to come over and then it becomes a ████ but this guy's a staple the community everyone gives them free food they give them free coffee they hook him up and he's just like he's living the one by my studio which was like half a block long it just kept growing those dudes were just steal ████ from Cars yeah they're constantly because they don't have a regulator so most places don't that homeless guy he's like the neighborhood cat that everybody likes to feed and they'll catch the rat they'll catch the bad ████ you know like that's what you need yeah you can't have a bunch of straight cats just ████ up your ████ right you
2:34 gotta you gotta have the neighborhood cat that everybody loves you know this is actually a good kind of metaphor that he's he's talking about right here like usually he kind of goes off the rails and it doesn't make sense but I'm like that one made sense yeah you're a cat guy you're a cat I make a lot of sense y'all just too dumb to understand [Laughter] the problem they have the neighborhood cat too and this neighborhood cat is stealing everyone's bikes and car parts that's not the Beloved cat that's the Stray Cat I'm talking about you when you have too many Stray Cats that's what ████ it up and this cat also brings a bunch of other cats over the point is the cat only works if there's a rat problem do you have a rat problem well they always have a rap problem it's just these homies want to fight the other homies so they're just like homeless gangs now and then they brings up a cat
3:25 still they put music in the middle of the night with all his other cats ████ having a cat party at like 3 A.M like cat party yeah and I'm like man they need to do something this guy's being used as like the flagship uh example of being offered housing and a bunch of things and he's just like no thanks yeah and then they're like okay bye and they just like so is he considered unhoused anymore yeah but they're they tried to give him all the things he's entitled to in terms of like how the city will help you and he just declined it and that's it you know I was I was listening to a little bit of this particular topic uh when it was Joe Rogan and and Dave Chappelle was talking about this exact same thing right and so obviously on the one hand you've got this like well if you've got like the mental ability and capability and the talent to put something like this together it's like apply that to maybe anything and not necessarily need to be
4:16 homeless they don't want to a lot of people want to be off the bridge exactly so so there's like that conversation and then on the empathetic side they were actually talking about like the idea of um imagine getting these Housing Services but then it's like hey you can live in this spot for whatever because you get like unhoused services but maybe but no pets allowed and maybe their only relationship that they actually have is like with their straight pet you know what I'm saying tough luck homie you broke Beggars can't be choosers and you're a beggar right now but just the idea of that well the irony is like they might not necessarily be begging for that situation they might be down to to live that life like like bar said they might be okay living off the grid yeah and then at the end of the day like this system this imaginary system that we've created called Society like all these people are on the on the outsides of it and they probably just don't want to be
5:07 a part of this program that we're all in and I mean I get it like when you are like a different example would be like let's say you have a criminal record and you are just trying to ████ be a decent part of you know human life and like you're trying to work all the jobs you get is like real s█████ and you want to maybe progress and all that stuff but you have that record you can't get a decent job you got that stain on your on your record you can't make the money that you used to make before let's say if you're like a really successful criminal and you're making like you know tens of thousands of dollars every day and then all of a sudden you go back to doing minimum wage and working with people that just you know are so disrespectful to you your status is low again like wouldn't you want to go back to something where you feel like the man again like I would if I was a big time
5:58 drug dealer and then all of a sudden I'm like this low-level person and everyone's like really an ass to me and treated me like dirt I'd be like ████ this world like ████ this system I'm gonna go back to being illegal again like I don't know and then not not that I absolutely condone it but I can understand the psychology behind it if you're given a choice it is like even we understand this right we work so hard being a good student doing what you're supposed to do and you get a nine-to-five job and then somehow it just doesn't really work out or or the company goes under and then like you get bad luck and you're like I did everything right that I was supposed to do I followed What Society told me to do and then it still ████ ████ up for me oh ████ maybe I should have just done
6:48 whatever I wanted not not that it you know not not if it was I mean not saying that it's illegal there's a positive way to say the exact same thing you just said though to be honest you know what I mean like in the sense where I would condone that um the idea that everybody who follows the system you're still at risk for failing in some way you're still at risk for something not working in your favor or running into like you said just bad luck so it could happen to anybody take the risk to do something non-hornful anyway you know what I mean is the the bright side to that element I think Dr Phil had a really good thing that he said about this specific dude and he was saying that like when you look at this guy he has some skills in crafting like you can do things but the system in place doesn't have a tailored thing for a guy with his skills it has things for just everyone with no skills so like if he wants to live in a home and be on the
7:38 track he's got to get rid of all his possessions because you can't there's nowhere to put it so then he's back to just being a regular homeless guy and not like a homeless guy with a specific thing that they can nurture so that's where Dr Phil's like no the system is just making everybody blanks yeah yeah and that's why it's hard for guys to get a leg up when they actually can do something yeah he has talent and and he can't thrive in the structure that he's right because maybe if he was in not in La he could be a Craftsman what if he was in like the Woods by himself like what's the difference between that and this well that's that's one thing that I think is pretty kind of dumb like because homeless people a lot of them came here because the laws allowed them to exist a lot easier than it does in other communities but also this is ████ hard mode like California is the hardest place to even go from A to B let alone go from like all the way at the bottom to something livable right like
8:28 we're having a hard time just being normal people like you said 60k a year yeah and you're still struggling yeah so people making 100K a year they're still like ████ so it to me I think it's a fault of the state to make such lacks laws for homeless people in a place where economically it's hard to thrive yeah those two things that go together no like don't make this the easiest place to be homeless and the hardest place to have a home like that's so weird yeah it's like hey you want to learn how to swim this is a 20-foot swimming pool can we start with like if you want to even get out of homelessness it's like okay a tank of gas or something ████ eight dollars in downtown you know you're like what the ████ yeah yeah let's create a situation where there's a huge like rich and poor population in La feels like that because to do everything the right way like let's say own a home
9:19 um you know and and live like like in a nice neighborhood and all that right and and follow all the laws you actually have to have a ton of ████ money or your family had to be here for so many generations and they passed down the house yeah if you're like a new immigrant or you come from lower income like it's really ████ hard to get out of your neighborhood and buy a decent home because now the average house is like almost a mill here yeah and not even being like an immigrant or having you know not as fortunate about upbringing even for normal people you know growing up in the suburbs in Wisconsin I come out here and you know it's hard especially for Our Generation everything's so expensive a middle class person from Wisconsin coming here is like a poor immigrant [Laughter]
10:17 man like outside of California damn and yeah in California the average is like 800 Grand so like hey after it dipped after yeah yeah that's the Low by the way but that's almost three times the value so like if you're from any other state and you come to California that's three times that you have to have a better job all that ████ so it's like why I will say though if I was homeless I'd probably come to California and I it has nothing to do with just the last it's also like the weather if I'm gonna be like sleeping outside if you're gonna survive the winter yeah I remember uh like hearing about like homeless people like in New York and stuff and sometimes it would just free they would just freeze in the night and you know police just got to pick up dead bodies well if you could build like that you build like a shelter in Alaska yeah build a cool cabin Igloo yeah you just build the
11:07 igloo that's exactly where you want to be building igloos then how hard is it to live in Alaska it's pretty chill salmon everywhere oh yeah it's pretty chill there's salmon everywhere [Music]
