It's Not A Trade War

We dig into the real story behind luxury brands and how nearly everything bearing designer labels is actually made in China for pennies on the dollar. Social media is exposing this reality as Chinese manufacturers offer to ship products directly to consumers at a fraction of retail prices.

• Tariffs aren't a new "trade war" but an attempt to create equal trading relationships after decades of imbalance
• Chinese manufacturers are revealing that luxury items costing thousands are made for just dollars
• Many luxury brands ship materials to China for manufacturing, then add only the label in France or Italy to claim it's "made" there
• Employment agencies serve as expensive middlemen, often paying workers less than half of what companies pay the agency
• Conservative viewpoints face stricter censorship on platforms like TikTok while liberal content faces fewer restrictions
• Economic factors like the stock market primarily affect wealthy investors, not everyday working people

Four or five cups, 55 ounce cups of soda, know of soda, but I've, I've drinking, you know, maybe a cup here, cup there, but nothing, nothing like I did before. I just been drinking water and seltzer water and I was going to drink yesterday, last night, and shit you know like drink a few beers and get a little little tipsy. But I started thinking about it as I don't want to wake up all stupid in the morning.

Thee Gooch: 6:22

Right right, yeah, so I didn't end up drinking.

Joe: 6:26

I bought a 12-pack yesterday when I got out of work and I was fucking tired. You know, when you're driving and shit and you come out of work, you're all like fuck Nessie, and shit. And then I was drinking my 12-pack after I was done with my shopping and all that shit. I came home, watched the Dodgers and then drinking the little beer Dude, I can't even finish a six-pack anymore, dude.

Joe: 6:47

To be honest, I was like maybe because I was sleepy or tired you know, and I only drank like four beers and I'm already knocking out every shit you know, oh really.

Thee Gooch: 6:56

Yeah, we're getting old, bro, we're getting old, I, we're getting old. I was talking to Dino today too. He said he's gonna stop drinking.

Yes, it looks nice and not me to brag, but it's good. I've been wanting this mic since when I was a kid Dude. So I fucking I finally got it, and you know, but I kind of mixed up On the dates when I when I wanted it, you remember I think it was on 1994 when we started that band. I said 1990, something, I forgot 94, 94. So we're in that age, I was 21 and that's when you, I remember, when 1994, that's when you had the drum sets and that's when dad used to live right there by, was it Lorena street? And third, yeah, third, and Lorena, yeah. So that's when you had the drum set, remember, yeah?

Joe: 8:34

So yeah, I kind of got the dates and the date and the year mixed up, so it was like 1994.

Thee Gooch: 8:39

So I mean, it's still 30 years ago, right? Well, yeah, yeah, it is. Technically it is. It still doesn't change that you're old, right yeah?

Thee Gooch: 9:46

Imagine staring at something. I want that to be a microphone, you know, staring at your butt. Imagine me staring at your butt. I should invent a microphone that looks like your butt, and then that's crazy. But when they look at something and he made a microphone out of that.

Joe: 10:05

That's pretty cool. Like a genius right there. I didn't know that shit, I was noticing, it is true.

Thee Gooch: 10:15

Remember that car you bought they had to go. You were like I have to have that card 1935. No, it was a 1951 Chevy Deluxe. I was begging.

Joe: 10:29

I was begging dad, hey, dad, because we had I had friends were into that rockabilly scene, you know, like the greasers they were all supposed to help you yeah, yeah, so they did that. Oh, they didn't know me now like, yeah, they, they left me behind with the whole shit. Yeah, I remember. Oh, I, I'm surprised you remember yeah, I'm surprised that shit stopped.

Thee Gooch: 10:53

No shit, I'm surprised the brakes work, you know, yeah, yeah, it was fucking heavy when we're pushing it, remember? Yeah, well, let me tell you the story how that went.

Joe: 10:56

When tata was pulling the car, you, I'm surprised the brakes worked, you know, yeah, yeah, it was fucking heavy when we were pushing it, remember? Yeah Well, let me tell you the story, how that went when Tata was pulling the car.

Thee Gooch: 11:05

You know, I'm surprised. The thing still, you know, had brakes Like, honestly, it was a shell, basically a shell.

Joe: 11:11

Mm-hmm. Well, the whole point was that when we went to the Pomona Flex fair, you know the Pomona Flex, uh huh, you know, they have all the old fashioned cars, they have parts, car parts and everything Like. It's like a swap meet over there With cars and shit, right? Well, we went over there To With my friends the Greasers we're all Greasers, we're all rockabilly. So they invited me, so they had a 50, 57 Buick, 1957. They invited me, so they had a 57 Buick, 1957 Buick. So we all went. We're all like thinking we're all chingones, you know, with the car and shit.

Joe: 11:47

I said hey, joe, wouldn't you hey Greaser Joe? Because they used to call me Greaser Joe, I don't know if you remember and Belmont used to call me Greaser Joe. And so, hey, greaser Joe, why don't you just get a car here and shit I go. But I got to ask my dad. I got to get some money. So I asked the guy that was selling that 1951 Deluxe. It was all like beat up, just a shell and shit, and it was like $300. So I was banging my dad come on, dad, my friends are going to help me fix it up and all that stuff. He goes no. My dad said no, no, I'm not going to give you no money. No, they are going to fix. They are going to help me fix it, dad, they're going to fix it up. They fixed their car and this and that and, to make the story short, they never came and helped me do it once I bought it. Yeah, that car sat there for months, dude Months.

Thee Gooch: 12:41

What did dad say when he saw the car? What did dad say?

Joe: 12:46

You made me spend a lot of money. You made me give you a lot of money, dude. So you're not even doing nothing about the car. You got to be pushing it every fucking Wednesday because of the street cleaner what I mean. Chris and Benny were helping me pushing it and then you were helping me pushing it, and then you were helping me pushing it every Wednesday. Grandpa was like ¿Qué chingado es este pinche basura que está en la calle? Blah, blah, blah, you know. So we had a Bad enough. Grandpa didn't like me.

Joe: 13:15

I had that piece of junk in the street park where I go. And then Dad had. You know Dad comes from work and he's parking for the street park where I go. And then dad had. You know dad comes from work, he needs parking for the. You know the street park, you know he needs to park, but my shit's, it's just there. Go when you're gonna be that we're gonna move that piece of shit out of the parking so I can park my car there. My dad goes. I'm sorry, but it's a piece of shit car. I think your friends left you like that. You know make you did all the problems. Where's your friends now?

Thee Gooch: 13:45

Whatever happened to that car? What did you guys?

Joe: 13:46

end up doing with it. Well, you know the neighbors right there by Percy Street, okay, you know, when you go to it's Percy Street and Rowan, you know, every time we walk to Rowan, up up in Rowan Street, these people, these vatos, they always fucking do body work in that house. Ever since we were kids, they were working on cars, they were working on cars, so I was already getting fed up with it and all that stuff. So you know what? No one came to help me, and not my friends. I was all like crying, you know, crying, left alone without the with the problem. Where's your friends at mijo? But, um, so I went up to those guys and go hey, dude, um, I got a 1951, um, chevy Deluxe, um, it's, you know, fucking, it's a shell dude.

Joe: 14:38

And I didn't have no money to fix it. So so I went up to them and I was talking to them so how much did you buy it for? I got it for $300. So they say I'll sell it to you for $300. He's like, yeah, well, fuck, yeah, we'll fix that shit up. So he sold me the $300. I sold it to him, he gave me the money. So I gave the money back to my dad. Oh shit, so luckily those guys lived there, dude, because you know that shit would have been there all day and it would have been in the street or I would have called Ecology, whatever the fucking shit, and probably got like $10 out of it and shit. I wonder if they ever fixed it.

Thee Gooch: 15:21

Yeah, they did, did they? Did you ever see it when it was all fixed up?

Joe: 15:24

Well, I didn't see it, but I know they did, because they work cars like that. They told me that, oh yeah, we'll fix that shit up.

Thee Gooch: 15:35

If you would have had the money. You and dad had the money to fix it.

Joe: 15:38

I mean, of it was, it was gonna cost a lot of money oh yeah, I probably yeah, that would have been worth a fortune dude yeah, I would have been a for if you would have fixed it, it would have been cost like what? More than like 20 grand just to oh, fuck yeah, or yeah, maybe more. So I told them I'll, I'll sell you the shell. And so they sold me back to, they gave me the money back. I mean, they gave me the money and I get money. I get the money back to To dad. So that's the story. You know. Imagine Fucking, pushing that shit. That shit was heavy and shit yeah.

Thee Gooch: 16:11

Those fucking carbs are all metal, you know. Not like today, everything's made out of Fucking aluminum.

Joe: 16:17

Yeah All plastic and shit, fiber and shit. But yeah, dude, I mean it was really tiring so I go fuck, I gave up. So that's when I spotted I remember these guys, they were fixing the car, so I sold it to them. That's cool, though that's cool, they say they put it to use. Yeah, yeah, that's good. So my friends, I got manipulated by them. So I mean I was a kid well like fucking 19 years old at the time she was at 30 years ago.

Thee Gooch: 16:52

You're almost 60. Yeah, I don't think you were a kid, no shit. Yeah, but we were younger, we were stupid you know no shit. Just kidding. We were younger, we were stupid. I always reflect dude because the boys don't want to do shit with me. They hate doing shit with me. I invited the same name boy yesterday to go to the movies. I'm single, I don't fucking do anything right.

You know, when I bought it it's an older car, so you're going to have to check the oil at least every two days. You know, whatever, they're fucking kids. They didn't know. Yeah, it just fucking seized on him, jeez. So he's just going to junk it. I told him I'll get him another one. Just give me some time.

Joe: 21:00

It's not like that. No more huh Like.

Thee Gooch: 21:01

You put a magnet, no nothing they used to, but not anymore. Yeah, I remember they say it's because they need the vehicles to be lightweight so they can be faster. That's bullshit, right, they make it like that because aluminum's cheap Jeez.

Because I got a fucking runny nose. Yeah, dude, I hope I'm not getting sick. I just hope not, but other than that I'm good. I mean, I feel healthy, but my throat is congested.

Thee Gooch: 22:38

We're getting older, dude. And it's for everybody else too. We're getting older. We got to look at the alternatives other than pharmaceutical shit, because the pharmaceuticals all they want to do is just sell right, they don't give a fuck like your high blood pressure. Don't take no pharmaceuticals, pills for high blood pressure. I don't even trust that. Yeah, all that, all that does is slow your heart down, and that that's you know. And then they check your blood pressure. Well, his blood pressure is down Well, because you could still get a heart attack.

Joe: 23:06

Right, but doesn't it fuck up your liver too at the same time?

Thee Gooch: 23:10

Joe: 23:21

I won't take ibuprofen. I won't take ibuprofen. No, you just fucking deal with the headache. I just deal with the fucking headache. But I mean as long as you drink water, right?

Joe: 23:27

If you drink a lot. If you take an aspirin and you drink water everyday, it won't fucking harm you, right, it will clear your liver Eventually. But it's like if you, if you fucking take aspirins every fucking day and no water, yeah, of course it's going to fuck up your liver, but as long as you drink plenty of water, yes, and water is dull to drink.

Thee Gooch: 23:53

It's like boring to drink, right? That's why I drink the seltzer. Dude, yeah, the seltzer water is a little bubbly, you know. Mm-hmm, yeah you know, the seltzer water is a little bubbly, you know, mm-hmm, yeah yeah, and there's absolutely no sugar, no calories, no fat, no sodium, right, right. Zero carbohydrates, right, mm-hmm, none of that shit. Zero proteins. I'm basically just drinking air. That's what I'm doing that's fucking crazy.

Joe: 24:24

Pretty soon they're going to make air cans. You know you can sniff just like space balls, you know.

Or you know, blah, blah, blah, you know shit like that. But the people don't seem to get it. That's what they're thinking, right? The people that are against Trump and all that shit, right?

Because these terrorists was Since fucking what like since Nixon. All them Way back, right? I mean From what I'm thinking. Well, from what I'm understanding Correct me if I'm wrong again, all the countries have been charging us Way terrorist Than we were charging them, right, right?

Thee Gooch: 26:10

So that's why you know the media Right away, right, the fucking liberal owned media. Okay, and this is the one thing that people Need to fucking understand. This is not a tariff war, by no means. But the media wants to tell you that because people are stupid and they believe it. It's not a tariff war, it's not a trade war. What this administration wants to do is make everything equal. 71 countries already fucking told, including Vietnam, Japan, fucking South Korea. All these countries already told India. All these countries already told trump okay, zero, where they're going to negotiate zero tariffs on the united states, which is that's what Trump wants.

Thee Gooch: 26:57

But you take somebody like China, who's been fucking us for the last you know 30 plus decades. China. We made China who they are because of these fucking tariffs they had on us. Dude, they are so fucking advanced with their technology, their roads, no, homeless people. You get to actually own your property in China, right, but you have to be a Chinese citizen. Anyways, totally different environment from the United States. But people need to understand this administration. All they want to do is equal tariffs If the country like, say, for example, China, if they ever fall, which I don't think they will and they say, ok, zero China, zero tariffs on the United States. Then then then this administration will be like okay, cool, then zero tariffs for you guys too, right, right, and everything that they trade, it'll all be cheaper for everybody. You know, you'll pay next to nothing on milk, next to nothing on fucking the vegetable, whatever it is a fucking transport from China, the product, everything we have in our house is made in China, right yeah, everything no matter how you slice, no matter what you look for, everything is made in China even the

Thee Gooch: 28:09

action, figures, everything. Yeah, why, though? You know why. Why do we do that? Why is that? Can we change that? Can we just make stuff in america and, you know, have the profits for ourselves, and you know, everything used to be cheaper, you know, for everybody here in the states, but no, but this has been going on for decades, and now that we're unfucking what's been going on now, people don't understand it. They're hating it. It's a trade war, it's a tariff war, it's this war. No, it's no fucking war. We just want equal fucking tariffs. Yeah, you know, like I said in the past podcast, it costs. It costs, I think, either Vietnam or Taiwan, one of them fucking countries. It costs $8 to make a pair of Air Jordans, right, right, and then, when they bring it to the United States, they charge us $250 for a fucking pair of sneakers, just because it's Air Jordan you know it's all and you know what it's all materialistic reason, materialism yeah, don't even fucking get.

Thee Gooch: 29:08

And all of this happening right now. Uh, china is now telling everybody you know on social media well, guess what? You've been paying fifteen thousand dollars for a louis vuitton bag, right, and it only costs us ten dollars to make it. You want the Louis Vuitton bag? Give me your address, give me your phone number, I will ship it to you for $10. That's what's going on right now in social media with China. Oh shit, yeah, everything. The Knights, the fucking Adidas, flip-flops, all of that shit.

Thee Gooch: 29:44

The Adidas flip-flops. We used to wear all of that shit. The adidas flip-flops they make out there in china 80, 80 fucking cents to to to make and they sell them over here for 60 bucks, jeez especially the air jordans, on like what are you?

Thee Gooch: 29:56

two hundred dollars nikes coach, all of these fucking name brands, dude, okay. So what they do and I just found this out yesterday because everything's coming out, okay, everything's coming like the louis vuitton I think louis vuitton is what french, right, yeah, paris okay. So this is what the and and everybody's freaking out, because they send all their products, the material, to china to make the purse a louis vuitton purse, right, right, make everything. The only thing they don't put on the purse is a label like okay yeah.

Thee Gooch: 30:30

So they ship everything back. For example, we'll use france for, for example. Then they ship, and then china after all, these purses are made, whatever is made, they send it all back to france and france puts a label on it now it's made in, now it's made in France, so now they can fucking sell it as an authentic Louis Vuitton bag. You know what I'm saying. But everything Coach, louis Vuitton, nike, all of these fucking name brands that everybody goes crazy they're all made in China. Everything, everything, and all people are freaking out. Well, fuck it. I'm wearing a fucking Louis Vuitton, fucking chonies. They cost me 150 bucks. They were made in China, but it says made in.

Joe: 31:13

You know, france, technically you're paying only for that little fucking piece of label right there, like that little piece of label. That's what you're paying. The material is just like it's all the same.

Thee Gooch: 31:26

you probably can make it yourself, yep, you just gotta get the right material, you know what I'm saying and everybody's freaking out like, oh shit, this stuff is actually made in China now. So here, pretty soon, here, pretty soon, we'll be able to buy, you know, louis Vuitton for 20 bucks, 29 bucks, because it's all cheap shit. It's all made in China. Yeah, I mean, of course it's made with, you know, quality craftsmanship. You know what I'm saying, but they're just going to be cheaper.

Joe: 31:55

I think if it would have been made in the USA, it would be more valuable, wouldn't it?

Thee Gooch: 32:00

Oh yeah.

Joe: 32:01

Yeah, oh yeah. Of course, it's like when you buy a vase, you buy a vase and, hey, that vase is worth a thousand dollars. Okay, and then what's the difference between the vase is worth a thousand dollars and the one that is worth more than the China piece? It's worth what? Like five dollars, which?

Thee Gooch: 32:20

one's worth. You know what I'm saying, and it's true too, too, because here in the united states the average manufacturing job is about 30 to 35 dollars an hour. If you're lucky, that's what you can get as a manufacturing job, right? Yeah, that's the address according to. You know the united states, but a lot of people are like, no, that's not true, blah, no it's fucking true, because then you have job agencies. Remember the job agencies we used to go to looking for work?

Joe: 32:52

Okay, labor rating.

Thee Gooch: 32:55

Yeah, the company. Let's just use Graybar, for example. Okay, for example, the company Graybar Electric. Okay, for example, the company Graybar Electric. They're going to pay the agency the $35 an hour. So the agency, they promote hiring. Now you want a job, we'll start you today. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You go apply at the agency, then the agency sends you to the Graybar, you start working, but the agency are going to pay you 16 an hour. So who's winning?

Thee Gooch: 33:32

you're not winning, the agency's winning yeah you know, because, uh, because gray bar doesn't want the liability, so they're going to pay the agency in case the guy gets hurt at 16 an hour, then the agency is responsible to pay for the fucking guy that's working $16 an hour. That's the way it works.

Joe: 33:49

Yeah, because I'm. I remember when I used to work in those kinds of agencies agencies like, for instance, huh yeah, yeah, because, yeah, you're right about the, the only the agency will help you pay the. You know the will help you pay the expenses of your if you get hurt. But in my level, when I was working in the agency, I didn't get no fucking benefits, no 401k. You just work straight like that.

Thee Gooch: 34:16

Yeah, you don't get the benefits, you don't get the 401k. It's like security too. Security is the same fucking way. You want private security. Well, they'll go to, for example, example, they'll go to brinks and say like, well, here, I need two guys over here. Okay, two guys. Okay, brinks will charge them 60 an hour for both you know. And then they turn around, brinks will turn around and and and just pay the guys 12, 13 bucks an hour yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that shit.

Joe: 34:43

Yeah, yeah, that's yeah, that's just.

Joe: 34:45

That's the name of the game you know, and then if you don't like that when you work in an agency, one thing about the agency is that if they find out that you don't like that, well, not the agency, I mean, I meant the employer. Right, if the employer finds out you don't like working there, they'll call the agency and say, hey, this guy doesn't want to work there, he has this attitude. And then the agency will call you and they'll say, hey, they don't want you there anymore. So you're terminated, you're gone.

Thee Gooch: 35:14

Yeah, and it's the same way like if the company doesn't like the way, if you look like a fucking idiot you know you can go back to the agency. Clean, clear hands are washed, company safe. It's the agency's problem. Now they can get rid of you at any given fucking time yeah, I know, because that happened to me.

Joe: 35:34

That happened to me because when I was working for that job five years ago and I go, you know what? They ask me how come? You can't be like, oh, I was looking for another job and I go no, I was looking for another job technically, they're going. I was looking for another job. Technically I was going to work a second job, but when I told them that they found out that I said that they told me you know what the agency called. They said that I'm terminated.

Thee Gooch: 36:01

No shit.

Joe: 36:02

Yeah. And so I went back and they said said, you know what, go back to the agency and we'll find you another job. Yeah, yeah.

Thee Gooch: 36:12

That's how it works.

Joe: 36:13

That's how it works, dude. Yeah, that happened to me. Yeah, one time what? Was that I was like I was 19, 1994, 1995, when that, when I was working in that job, that big freezer. Yeah, when I used working in that job, that big freezer.

Thee Gooch: 36:27

Yeah, when I used to work in the, what was?

Joe: 36:29

the name, I don't want to mention it. I don't want to mention it because I don't want to give them the props. But yeah, I was cracking shrimps in the freezer. I liked the cold. It was below, I think, at least 30 degrees below, and I was getting used to the cold inside the freezer. Cold, it was like below, I think, at least 30 degrees below, and I was getting used to the cold inside the freezer. So it was getting hot. So I took off the whole fucking my jacket. I was just running with a thermal and that's it. I started enjoying the cold, packing the shrimp bags in a box with the tape gun. You know the machine and you tape it.

Joe: 37:06

And then they promoted me to the other level, when I used to do inventory, getting cardboards, how many cardboards they needed in the warehouse. I'll do all that. So I mean, I had it made right there, dude, to be honest, I had it made right there. And then they call it the dry storage. I, I call it dry storage. I had it made. But to what? I? To what? I told them oh, why you? Why you came late, why you're late. Oh, I was looking for a job, another job, oh, that's when they Fucking. They told me. You know what I called your agency. They said to go back To your. They told you to go back and you're terminated.

Thee Gooch: 37:41

Oh shit, remember that nasty Frostbite you had in your ear? Oh yeah, well, that's what.

Joe: 37:45

I got it from. Oh, no shit, I want to go use the redwood. That was I was. I was a new hire at the time. Oh my gosh, that was fucking terrible, dude. I mean I went to the restroom. I never thought, dude, you know frostburn actually yeah, frostburn. Yeah, I had the ear because the machinery inside was too noisy so we had to use earmuffs. It's due because of OSHA. Yeah.

Joe: 38:10

OSHA was in control of that, and so we had earmuffs, right. So I went to the restroom and I put the earmuffs down, like that, yeah, and I guess it had water a little bit in the. I put I think water accidentally spilled because in the sink and then I put them on, oh shit, and then I walked down inside the freezer and then my ears started irritating. Fuck dude. I was like shit, it's irritating me and shit. You know, I guess it was the moist from the earmuffs. Yeah, yeah, that shit turned ugly dude and shit, you know, I guess it was the moist from the earmuffs. Yeah, here, yeah, ugly dude, yeah. So, um, my ears started getting bigger and bigger. It started getting red dude, red, red, red, and go fuck it. It was irritating me the whole day. So they took a look at it and they say, hey, dude, you got fucking.

Joe: 39:03

I went to the clinic, they go, you know. You know what. You went to the. You have freezer burn, you go. Lucky you came here just in time, because if you didn't come here just in time you would have lost your ear, dude, I was like no shit.

Joe: 39:15

Yeah, because it was bad, it was big, it was infected. So they give me some. Remember that shit. And then they took a picture of me. Dude, I felt like a poster boy, a poster boy. Things you should not do job, work and shit They probably had me in a poster like that. You know what I'm saying.

Thee Gooch: 39:36

Yeah, I think I worked there fuck it, I don't know, it was like for a couple weeks. It wasn't my cup of tea, dude. Yeah, I remember.

Joe: 39:44

It started with me, me and Chris. We started right there and then sis worked there for a little while. They liked the sis a lot.

Joe: 39:52

Yeah, they had her do.

Joe: 39:55

They had her do everything easy. Yeah, but other than that, yeah.

Thee Gooch: 40:02

So Going back to the tariffs and shit. So the you know just Fucking let everything right, man yeah, you know right now it's gonna be a rough eight, nine months, whatever. I'm just like fucking. Let just let it right, you know. So let it fucking right and then people are freaking out because you know, I don't know where these fucking people come up with the shit. Anyways, iphone, apple iPhone. They leaked their flip phone, iphone 17,. Right, they leaked the photo.

Thee Gooch: 40:31

It's going to be a flip phone and right away, you know, everybody's saying that it's going to be $2,500 because of the tariffs and blah, blah, blah. No it's not going to be $2,500 because of the fucking tariffs. Apple's always been expensive, dude.

Joe: 40:46

Always. They're just something. You have to have something to say. There's always something to say. I mean, it's just an excuse.

Thee Gooch: 40:57

It's just these fucking Democrat liberals. It's just their scare tactics. They always have to pitch up. But if it was Joe Biden or Barack Obama or fucking Camel Toe, it would have been fine. Oh, I'll spend $2,500 on that. Oh, yeah, yeah, shut the fuck up.

Joe: 41:15

Well, these terrorists were around since fucking more than 30 years, dude.

Thee Gooch: 41:19

What's the big deal? They've been around.

Joe: 41:23

It's just that we don't really know about it because of social media.

Thee Gooch: 41:26

It's just that we don't really know about it because of social media. You know, yeah, it's just people want to. You know them, especially the media. You know they want to call it a trade war, tariff war. You know. Then you got canada saying, oh, this is the trade war, when they were the ones that fucking started this shit. Yeah, you know, they were. Canada was the one that were bending us over fucking for quite some time too, and those fucking cocksuckers are fucking paying the price.

Thee Gooch: 41:47

Yeah, because they opened their mouth right yeah, because they opened their shit again because of their fucking liberals, because they're fucking democrats. It's their way of the fucking. How fuck that? Fuck all that shit, I'm just letting you ride yeah, just let her ride.

Joe: 42:03

I mean, I mean, we dealt with it for four years and we can't deal with it now? Yeah, that's what I mean I spent a lot of fucking um merchandise yesterday when I went to go grocery shopping and I didn't know there's a difference. I go fuck, I'm not really used to it, I'm immune to it, you know everybody's gonna feel the impact differently.

Thee Gooch: 42:22

Everybody's gonna feel the impact differently, especially, especially california, because you get scumbags like gavin newsom and everybody below him. You know, and like I said it before, everybody has their fucking hand in the cookie jar everybody yeah, all of those fucking crooked fucking politicians. Now here in a red state where I'm at, you know, fucking eggs are going back down a lot. I was spending six dollars for a dozen eggs. Now they're just above. Just above three dollars for a dozen gas is down over here in the red state so again it just depends what state you're in.

Thee Gooch: 42:55

If, if you see, if, if people don't see their fucking eggs going down on prices get a hold of your fucking local, uh, your local government, because they're the ones that are fucking responsible.

Joe: 43:08

Right, right and in.

Thee Gooch: 43:08

California. They tax-hiked California again, didn't they?

Thee Gooch: 43:12

Yeah, yeah, but see, I don't feel it, dude, the ones that are bitching and whining about it is the rich you know, and you know, over here where I'm at, it's a red state and every time I see everybody complaining I'm always eating popcorn and fucking reading the comments of everybody complaining. Anyway, over here there's no food tax. So say, if you buy a soda, for example, right, right, what does a little bottle of soda cost? Almost $2? We'll just say $1.99, right, we go up to the cashier and that's all you're spending is $1.99. No tax.

Joe: 43:47

There's no tax.

Thee Gooch: 43:48

There's no food tax, there's no CRV. None of that other bullshit, jeez.

Joe: 43:53

Must be nice.

Thee Gooch: 43:55

Oh, it is.

Joe: 43:56

It's very nice. Yeah, it is. I couldn't imagine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And um, yeah, dude, that's just, people just need to let it ride and everybody's all complaining About the stocks and shit, right. Stocks fall, they rise and go down. They tend to, you know, like a rollercoaster, right?

Thee Gooch: 44:22

The only people it's affecting Are people that have 401ks yeah, because not everybody. Do you know someone that owns stocks thing. Rather, the only people it's affecting are people that have 401ks. Yeah, okay, because not everybody. Do you know someone that owns stocks?

Thee Gooch: 44:31

uh, no, I don't, but I have 401k right, I'm telling you I'm sure it took a. It took a plummet, it plummeted a lot. I know, I know one guy that fucking lost no bullshit. He said he lost two hundred thousand dollars on his fucking 401k. No shit, yeah, but it's gonna go back up.

Joe: 44:46

Watch's going to go back up, Watch.

Thee Gooch: 44:47

Yeah, it'll go back up. It'll go back up. But see, the stock market. It only affects no bullshit. It only affects the rich people, yeah, People that are okay with slave wages. And again going back to China and Taiwan and South Korea and fucking Japan, All these people invested in Nikes. All these people had invested in Louis Vuitton and all this rich shit. Right, those are the people that the stock market affect. It doesn't affect people like me and you or the economy. It doesn't. The stock market can crash right now, dude, and we'll be fine.

Joe: 45:24

You know what, we're used to the survival. We'll be fine. Well, yeah, yeah, because we're. You know what? Because we're used to the survival.

Joe: 45:27

Yeah.

Joe: 45:28

But, these mother Huh.

Thee Gooch: 45:30

We'll be fine, we'll be good.

Joe: 45:32

But the rich people, if they will fall like everything will go down and they're just they're the ones that are suffering, they're not going to know how to survive. No, no, no.

Thee Gooch: 45:46

It's just. Elon Musk lost a lot of money too, you know, because of the stock market. All of these rich people complaining that the stock market has crashed they're all fucking rich people, every single one of them. It doesn't affect people like me and you, yeah because they invest yeah, they invest and that's what they're losing.

Thee Gooch: 46:02

They're losing their investment. Now, if they bring Nikes back to the United united states, they bring fucking. You know all these american-made products right, you'll be surprised. Everything that was created in the like gnc. You know that muscle where you buy supplements for muscles and shit. That's not american owned, dude, that's Chinese owned. China owns that and a lot of people don't know that. Shit, jeez you know, I'm just writing it out, dude.

Joe: 46:34

Yeah, same here. I mean I don't know the people are complaining. Why are they all worried about it? If you're not into politics, why are you guys are bitching about it?

Thee Gooch: 46:46

Like I said, the only thing that affects is the people that have 401ks. It's horrible, but it'll go back up. But other than that, as far as the economy and inflation, the stock market doesn't affect inflation.

Joe: 46:58

Well, didn't Trump say that you're going to feel it a little bit? Yeah, but then after that it's going to go away. Yeah, yeah.

Thee Gooch: 47:09

And when it goes away, dude, it still won't shut the fucking Democrats up. You know when it goes away. And we're paying decent prices for food and groceries. We're paying decent prices for gas. And you know what's fucking stupid the other person is going to get the credit. Yeah, yeah, this is what's stupid about these Democrats, dude. Gas, the barrel of gas is down. I think it was the last time I checked. It was like $60 a gallon. Okay, the gas is going down. They're fucking complaining because there's no fucking you know high demand for gas right now, right, but, but the gas is gone and they're fucking complaining about that.

Joe: 47:46

Still.

Thee Gooch: 47:46

Yeah, that's how stupid they are. Dude, crazy dude, that's fucking crazy yeah. Do you have a video clip to play?

Joe: 47:59

Yeah, I got the one from China. Yeah, just play one of them I just want to play three or, if you want to play two, you send me two, but I got no three, but I chose one. I got the one with the. Okay, here's one, right here. Hold on, let me just fix this up and then we'll be set to go. Hold on, let me see.

Clip: 48:21

Every detail is a perfect one-to-one match. I'm talking one-to-one match. I'm talking one-to-one top grain leather, one-to-one rubber sole, all designed to give you the absolute best experience Cheap price, high quality, no middleman, no overpricing.

Clip: 48:38

Worldwide shipping is 100% free and we were just talking about that right.

Thee Gooch: 48:42

Yeah, and that's the thing. See, that's that's. And the reason why China is exposing Louis Vuitton, all the top-name brands right, the reason why they're exposing them is because, now to avoid tariffs from the United States right To avoid it. Now they can ship your Air Jordans or whatever the fuck you order from China. Now they can ship it directly to you instead of a big-ass, fucking container and they put yeah well you know what I'm saying?

Thee Gooch: 49:10

okay, now they can do that. That's the way they can. It's a loophole, I guess. Yeah, yeah, that's the way they can get away with paying that high tariffs.

Thee Gooch: 49:17

Okay, so see, that's kind of a checkmate on fucking china's part, dude like yeah, yeah, you know that is, and the only way they can pull that off is by exposing these fucking high price brand bullshit that everybody you know, because they want to be something in society. Oh look, I got louis vuitton slippers, I got louis vuitton glasses, and fucking purses and shirts and silk and all yeah, all that shit is made in fucking china how about this?

Joe: 49:43

probably China is going to be the next Amazon, but bigger than fucking Amazon, right yeah?

Thee Gooch: 49:49

To me. In my opinion, dude, I think they outsmarted Trump.

Joe: 49:52

Do you think so?

Thee Gooch: 49:53

Yeah, I think they outsmarted him on that one. I'll have to give it to them. Yeah, but we'll see. We'll see how it goes. Then We'll see how it goes. We'll see how that one goes right. Yeah, because I think australia uh folded with tariffs right, so they're gonna negotiate. So now what china's idea is doing is shipping everything to australia and then from australia shipping it to the united states another loophole yeah, so we'll see.

Joe: 50:22

We'll see how it goes. Well, there's always it's like okay, have you seen Casino?

Joe: 50:29

Yeah, I was watching it last night actually.

Joe: 50:31

Okay, you know that Asian person that was a gambler. He used to keep gambling, and gambling, and gambling. But he's always a cheapskate. But then he goes into hotels, all that money he has, he starts stealing all the towels.

Joe: 50:42

Inside the fucking Shit like that. That's all they are. Dude All billionaires are all cheapskates.

Joe: 50:47

Dude all the towels inside the fucking shit like that. That's all they are dude, yeah, you know. All billionaires are all cheapskates. Dude, yep, you know.

Thee Gooch: 50:50

That's why they're billionaires. That's why they're billionaires. You know, you know you don't see them buying stupid shit. Like me, dude. If I was a millionaire dude, I'd be buying all kinds of you know.

Joe: 51:03

Yeah, shit you know what, if I was a rich or a billionaire, even though I can't even touch the pedals or the fucking gas or the brake pedals, I'll buy me a 1956 Chevy dude. Yeah, because I could tell. I know the reason why I know I can't reach the pedals because of the rockabilly homeboys that I had back in the day I was reason why I know I can't reach the pedals because, like those, uh, the rockabilly homeboys that I had back in the day I was, um, trying to drive their car, their 56, uh, bel-air, no it was 56 buick, buick, yeah, 56 buick.

Joe: 51:35

I couldn't even fucking touch the pedals, dude. Well, you could always put stilts. Well, yeah, but my, the funny part is my legs were dangling, you know, from the seat, you know, you know, yeah, so yeah, but that's true fact Right there, okay, guys.

Thee Gooch: 51:53

Whatever happened to those guys?

Joe: 51:55

I don't know dude, I remember one time he was, he became a father, but I haven't heard him since. Oh really, yeah, they were cool people. I remember one of them. I won't heard him since. Oh really, I haven't heard him since, yeah, they were cool people, they were cool people.

Thee Gooch: 52:08

Yeah, it was, I remember one of them. I won't say his name, but I remember one of them used to be afraid of cats. He had a cat, oh yeah.

Joe: 52:13

That's Christian. Christian he was afraid of, he was scared of cats. I go, what the fuck there? Was a phobia dude, he was literally scared of cats.

Thee Gooch: 52:25

Like what women, the way women get with spiders. Mm-hmm, so he was fucking scared of cats.

Joe: 52:33

I remember that dude. He was cool dude, he was a cool cat First. When I met him, when I first, when I went to Belmont. When I met him he was all 70s out.

Joe: 52:41

He was just like bowel bottoms, 70s shirt, you look like fucking John Travolta and shit, you know. But when I arrived, when you saw me greased up, you know I used to dress all rockabilly and shit. Hey, dude, you look cool with the fucking hair like that and blah, blah, blah you go. Yeah, oh, and then the next fucking I think the next week he dressed all rockabilly up and shit.

Thee Gooch: 53:07

Did you introduce yourself as Bullet or fucking Greaser Joe?

Joe: 53:12

No, greaser Joe. Well, they named me that I didn't name myself, that I didn't name myself Greaser Joe. They did Fucking Bullet, that shit, right, yeah. So I got another clip. This was another China one. Yeah, you wanna see this one. So it's the same shit.

Joe: 53:33

I sell it out 85 cents, 85 cents, 85 cents, 85 cents all slippers, 85 cents per pair. A Chinese franchise need to sell a large number of high quality slippers. All of them are individually packaged. You can sell $10 or even $20 in your country, but it only costs $0.85 now. If you're interested, please tell me. I will send you all the styles, yeah you see, yeah.

Thee Gooch: 54:00

That's all fucking Gucci, fucking Prada so this fucker.

Joe: 54:06

He's going to get fucking rich out of this shit, right, If he?

Thee Gooch: 54:10

sells it like that From his fucking warehouse dude, from his warehouse. But see, that's what I'm saying. They'll ship it to you directly to avoid the dirt, which is fine, I guess. But I just want people to know that all these fashion bullshit that everybody admires and everybody seeks, it's all made in china.

Joe: 54:32

There's no way around it around it even if, like if it's a a gucci shirt, but it's not made of gucci, it's just a label. Right, just a little, and they made the shirt.

Thee Gooch: 54:42

They made the shirt. China made.

Joe: 54:43

China made the shirt, but the it's not. It's not 100% from where it's coming from.

Thee Gooch: 54:48

Gotcha, and the point is, too, is that that's a rip off, though you know they're making fucking thousands, dude Millions.

Joe: 54:56

So every time I walk into the mall and I see a Gucci bag right there Made in China, made in China, right, but it's like the materialism, like you know. Oh, just because it says Gucci, oh, fuck, yeah, I mean. So all these people that are doing their, how do you call that shit? Smashing, grab, getting all going to the stores, ripping all that shit. That's not even fucking worth anything then. All made in China.

Thee Gooch: 55:20

All made in China. All that shit, the value of those fucking high fashion thing, all of that is going to lose its value here In the coming weeks. They won't be as valuable as it was Before.

Joe: 55:33

So technically it's imitation.

Thee Gooch: 55:35

Imitation right.

Joe: 55:37

And I got another question for you, gooch. Okay, tiktok, since it's run by China. I heard that China wants to make it as a payable, like a payment plan. Is that true?

Thee Gooch: 55:54

I know there's a couple Americans putting a high bid to buy TikTok, but honestly, dude, I wish they would just shut down TikTok. Yeah same here. I honestly, because you can't say anything, dude yeah, I can't say shit, I can't put an emoji, shit on it. I can't, I can't say fucking so if it goes, I only, I only, I'm only on it, just so I can, you know, check it out and get some info. But as far as posting and commenting that I did, I'm so close to being banned so many fucking times yeah I'm over it and I feel bad because a lot of people work for it.

Thee Gooch: 56:30

You know they make money off it, but in my situation and thousands of others, if it went away, I wouldn't, fucking, I wouldn't.

Joe: 56:37

Yeah, it's not worth crying over it, you know. I wouldn't lose sleep on it, yeah.

Thee Gooch: 56:45

I'm sure it's. It's some fucking liberal, you know Community. Yeah, because, dude, like it's so fucking pathetic you can't. I can't say shit On that fucking app.

Joe: 56:54

Exactly, I don't they. They banned. Well, they didn't ban me, but they, they blocked me for Cause I? Cause I put clown. Yeah, I said something about clown and they fucking they put me like on violation and they take my comment away or some shit like that I follow one creator.

Thee Gooch: 57:13

His name is conservative, conservative ant uh-huh his name, first name is anthony. I love him. He he's all about the truth and he says. He says it how? It is no violence, hardly any cussing. They fucking banned his 1.5 million dollar for I mean follower uh account. He got it back but he was like why the fuck did? Because they're conservatives. Conservatives on tiktok are under attack. You can't conservatives can't say shit on tiktok yeah, I noticed it.

Thee Gooch: 57:45

Like if you say oh yeah, if tiktok left, I wouldn't shed a tear yeah, I think it's time.

Joe: 57:50

I think I think it's time for them to shut it down. And now I think trump's gonna say forget tiktok now yeah, hopefully he catches a little bit.

Thee Gooch: 57:58

Yeah, hopefully trump catches wind of it and just say fuck tiktok and everything. But you know what I?

Joe: 58:03

noticed, dude, not even fucking instagram, does that? Not even fucking facebook, does that? Not even fucking Facebook, does that? Not even who am I missing Myspace? No, just kidding, not even. They don't even give me. I'd say something to them.

Thee Gooch: 58:19

They don't even give me like a violation, shit like that, oh shit, I can cuss up a storm on Facebook yeah, and also in um I mean Instagram. Well, instagram, yeah, sometimes. They make me edit it, but I just push it.

Joe: 58:34

Oh yeah, that too. They make you edit it, they give you a chance. Yeah, but fucking TikTok right away. You know, yeah, she's like they're fucking, like they're butt pics In there and shit. Babies, you know right, they can't. They like to, they like to fucking talk shit, but when you talk shit to them, they can't take it, they can't handle it oh, but liberals on TikTok.

Thee Gooch: 58:56

It's okay to threaten the president of the United States, you know, to be assassinated, assassinated and fucking. Talk all kinds of shit about Trump and women shaking their ass, showing tits. You know this is fine, but as soon as a conservative Gets on there and says something truthful, they fucking, they strike your ass.

Joe: 59:15

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Thee Gooch: 59:18

Exactly so, fuck TikTok.

Joe: 59:23

But I let myself in.

Clip: 1:00:03

Just singing a duet About rejecting boundaries.

Clip: 1:00:08

I was raised by elves. I don't know what that means. The song choice is kind of awkward.

Clip: 1:00:13

Some might say it's kind of spot on. At least it's not that one by Mariah. Singing the creepiest Christmas song you don't understand. I was raised by elves and I know Santa. That makes it okay for me to walk in and sing with a girl I just met who's trying to take a shower. I'm not a bad person.

Clip: 1:00:41

It turns out he doesn't even work here. How did you not know that?

Clip: 1:00:46

How did you not notice him constructing decorations all night?

Clip: 1:00:48

Because both of you are bad at your jobs. Why are you showering at a department store?

Clip: 1:01:00

What in the Sam Hill is that? It's a baby. He must have snuck into your sack at the orphanage. Oh, you think Twin Elf. Out of all the houses we visited, you just presume he must have come from the orphanage. Well, why don't you know where he's from? Yeah, you're supposed to be the guy that knows everything about children.

Clip: 1:01:16

Yeah, why didn't you know he was awake? Did you steal a baby? Santa stole a baby, put a stocking in it. I didn't steal any baby. What are we going gonna do? We can't keep him here. Uh, santa, I can, I can. Uh, well, if you want, I thought, maybe, um, maybe I could keep him and what? Raise him to be some kind of innocent man child. This isn't some stray dog that followed me home, papa elf, it's a human baby. People are going to miss their human baby. Oh right, okay, we gotta take this kid back where he belongs. So where does he belong? At the orphanage? I knew it. Hello, I'm just a random person passing by. Are you perhaps looking for any lost babies? Yes, I didn't steal them. Come on, finn, dinner's almost ready, okay.
