0:00But we got this cool like graffiti back here. My friend said I’m doing better at Maze Ensemble or something like that.
0:13What’s the question again? What do you think is the biggest global issue in the world right now?
0:21And this is for poidh and We Them Media. Alright, alright. I mean, I think there’s a lot of shit. There’s a lot of shit going on in the world right now. It’s kind of hard to say what’s like the biggest global issue. But I think fundamentally it comes down to people thinking other people’s business is their business, you know what I’m saying? Like, I think, like, people just got to let people live. And, like, right now there’s a lot of people encroaching on other people’s shit, right? And, like, there’s a lot going on. It’s, like, hard to sum that up, right? You know, it’s a crazy time to be living through.
0:50I was going to say something similar. I think just division in general I think there’s so much that people focus on What’s different between the people around them That causes that division I think that if you focus a little bit more on the things that we have in common And those things that bring us together A lot of those issues would resolve themselves Maybe that’s an idealistic approach to things But I do think that a lot of times it comes down to just We’re so focused on what divides us That it causes so much conflict in the world and that, you know, it starts within person to person, within the nation, across nations.
1:25I think it goes beyond so many different levels that, you know, I think if we just took a step back and focused on what doesn’t divide us, things would be a lot better.
1:37And are you two from Denver? You live here? I live here. He’s my little brother. I’m from Texas. We both from Texas, but I live here now, yeah. Okay. What about in Texas? What do you feel like is, like, the biggest issue in Texas? I guess I’m there more recently, right? I would probably say, that’s a tough one. Biggest issue in Texas. Acceptance? I think that a lot of people confuse Southern hospitality with everyone’s just nice towards each other, but I don’t think that necessarily means that you’re fully accepted in every single community in the South. I think that’s something that, especially in Texas, it’s like, you pride yourself on
2:29being from Texas, but there’s a part of being Texan that’s like, there’s so many different identities and stuff that come from being there that I don’t think is fully accepted in the state itself. So I’d say probably acceptance is probably one of the biggest things that causes issues in the state. Yeah, I mean, shit, like, I haven’t lived there in like five years, bro, but like, I think like, to this point, like, Southern hospitality sometimes is just like a means of like, masking and other issues, right? Like people like act like they’re all nice, but it’s like, yo, like you grow up, you grow up not white in the South, right? It’s like sometimes you see shit and you don’t realize it when you’re a kid, but then you grow up and you’re like, damn, that person was actually kind of racist. You know what I’m saying? Like, I think, you know, to his point, I think to his point, like there’s a lot of division and there’s a lot of lack of acceptance down in the South. And it’s kind of sometimes guys with like people being nice and shit, you know?
3:24Yeah, that’s what I say too Is there like a particular vivid memory that shows up for you when you think about that? Like I think that’s, what you just came to is super sick, like talk about it Yeah, I mean That’s like what I want to create content, right? Like what are the subversive Yeah, shit dude, you remind me of Channel 5 News I don’t know if you fuck Andrew Callaghan, baby All gots, no breaks, yeah Yeah, yeah Confidence, everyone popping up No, I think, I think for me I have a distinct memory Yeah, hell yeah I think for me, I have like a distinct memory during COVID where it’s like, you know, we
3:58got an older brother, he’s a doctor, you know, we’re all engineers, right, so like, we’re like, you know, we believe in science, right, and like, during COVID, I have a very distinct memory where I was minding my own business at like a YMCA just lived in, and this guy, I was wearing a mask, right, and this guy starts like harassing me, and he’s like, yo, like, you know, masks spread more COVID, and I’m just like, bro, what? What do you mean spreads more COVID? Like, I don’t give a fuck. Wear your mask or don’t, right? Like, that’s whatever. That’s your choice. But, like, what do you mean spreads more COVID, right? So, I’m first just minding my own business. But this guy won’t stop harassing me. And then eventually, you know, I kind of, like, go back on him. And, like, you know, one thing leads to another. I’m like, bro, you need to research, blah, blah, blah, right? And then, like, tell me why I got kicked out of the YMCA by the YMCA people, right? Like, I was minding my own business. This guy started harassing me.
4:51I kind of clapped back and then I got kicked out just for like standing on business you know what I’m saying like I think that was and to me I was like I lived in the northeast for a couple years at that point I was just back home visiting but like it was crazy it was it was it was honestly kind of jarring so I was like dude I like I had no desire to like get into this with you but like you came at me and then now I’m getting kicked out of this gym that I pay money for like you know like showing
5:16up to so it was weird it was weird for not living in Texas for a while you know like I’ve been in for a bit now. Like, I think it’s nice. Like, it’s nice not being there because, like, you know, like. Were you in the Northeast for you? I was in Maryland and Delaware for a while, Connecticut for a while, kind of all over. Oh, fuck yeah, dude. I spent a lot of time in Philly. Yeah, yeah. Yo, Philly’s sick. Philly’s sick. I like that. That’s your point, right? Yeah, right. It’s like, it’s just different, right? Like, you know, you lose the Southern hospitality, people are, like, kind of, like, randos on the street.
5:47They’re kind of assholes, but like they’re not like, you know, fundamentally gonna like come at you on some shit like that, right? Like I think it’s weird. Like I’ve lived all over the U.S. and I think like every place has got its news, but it kind of is what it is. We just have been in a really divided times. Like a lot of the media we consume. I mean, like I don’t know your channel, but you spoke with like all gas, no brakes, channel five. I like what they’re doing, right? Because like they’re just showing you how it is. I think we see a lot of shit, right? And it’s hard to know what’s real these days, right?
6:23Last question. What is Ethereum? What is Ethereum? Fucked. Yo, I don’t even know what that word means. Ethereum. I mean... I’m assuming... Take it.
6:42We’re gonna pawn it on this one. I’m assuming it corresponds to like ethereal, And I think, like, you know, that means, like, some sort of, like, transcendentalism
6:53But, um, I mean, shit, I don’t know what it means per se But if I had to give a guess, I think it does mean, like, transcending beyond the human body and, like, the spirit I think, like, I think, like, it really does tie back to, like, more of a spiritual thing And, like, um, I don’t know, I think, like, with that, there’s so much that can bind us together Spiritually that I’m assuming that ties back to, I don’t know if that made any sense at all, but Ethereum made a word, I looked it up, so it’s off the dome. I think to me, Ethereum, right? Like
7:31you’re saying like, that’s like, that’s like the omnipresent. That’s like, what is, what is it that like binds us all together, right? The human experience. And I think like, shit, like the Hardship, like life’s a trip, right? Like I think you can’t have the ups without the downs and you can’t have the downs without the ups. That’s what makes some ups and downs, right? Like I think Ethereum is your experience, your human experience in the universe. It’s so uniquely you. And I think like, you know, I don’t know what the fuck Ethereum actually means, but just like thinking about what the letters together and the word means to me. I think it’s like the uniqueness of the human experience and how that like we all have a crazy
8:14Crazy fucking life, but at the end of the day, we all living in the same planet, right, we living in the same timeline, like, we’re all, we’re all seeing the same shit that’s happening, right, it’s crazy fucking time to live through, but like, at the end of the day, like, that’s what we have in common, right, it’s like, what’s life? Amen. Amen, bro. Well, Ethereum is the, is the number two blockchain after Bitcoin. Dude, that’s what I found, I was like, I was like, yo, that’s a blockchain, I was like, that ain’t a word. Yo, this is like sponsored by Cash App, bro. Are you sponsored by Cash App? You’ve got to bleep that out I don’t care, I don’t care about Cash App
8:49Hey, Cash App! But yeah, I’ve been traveling, I came here, there’s a big Ethereum conference here every year It’s like a big tech conference, software engineers and shit This is my third one coming out here, I’ve been around the world I was in Asia for a couple months, two years ago, I was in Africa last year for four months I haven’t been to LATAM yet, but I’m on my way, I’m on my way And right now I’m just kind of stuck here in Denver because I’m broke as shit I guess this is my all-gassed n***a, so I’m trying to get out here You’re the oversized suit, bro
9:18Yeah, you know, my friend in New York, he’s like, I need to get a suit before I go out and do it I’m like, what is this guy talking about? Just paste the video, like But you’re right, you’re right, you gotta comment Yo, let me, like, let us follow you on some s***, bro Nah, f*** yeah, I appreciate it My last question, though, I actually had the last question, right? Oh, there’s another question Is, do you have a question that you’d ask the world? Like, if you could query the world and query AI, what would you ask the world?
9:39Take to make you love your neighbor, genuinely Boom!
9:46That’s a tough one to follow up That’s tough
9:54My mind just goes to why I think like understanding the whys of people I would say like why do you do why do you treat others the way you do why do you be the way you are and I think just like more so for people to understand for themselves themselves, if anything, I think digging down into that why really helps people clarify the things that they do, you know, understanding of if what they’re acting on is really true to themselves. Fuck yeah. And what were your names one more time? Yo, my name’s Ro. Like a rowboat? And then I’m Gov. Fuck yeah. Thank you guys.
