Getting Out With Jesse Xander
Raw, unfiltered, conversations and interviews filled with laughter.
Getting Out is Hosted By Me, Jesse Xander, Im a singer/songwriter, musician, and audio engineer…..oh yeah, I’m also an ex con and a recovering addict. I spent 3 years in prison, during the covid pandemic and locked down 24 hours a day for the majority of my time. So every day is a gift that I have to remind myself to even open.
I spent most of my young life in the Entertainment industry. I had the privilege to work with artists such as The Sugar Hill Gang, Biz Markie, Poppa Don, Inner Party System, Ty Wiz and many others but before I knew it I was in sooo deep I didn't think id ever be able to GET OUT, let alone repair all the damage I caused. But I’m alive and I’m free.
I started Getting Out to tackle topics such as addiction, mental health and Prison Life-which comes with stories of loved ones passing and a lot of pain. But also stories of redemption and over coming. GETTING OUT gives us a chance to look at ourselves our past mistakes, and hopefully help someone that is dealing with something similar.. Or maybe you’re just interested in what prison life is like and want a good laugh? We got you.
Learn to laugh at the person you were, use your mistakes as your personal super power.
So lets get out together!

Getting Out With Jesse Xander
Ep 59 Topgolf, A Rich Mans Game? UPDATE:Glenwoood Health Hurdles
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
KDGs first time at Top Golf! Where every swing comes with a story and a "PING". KDG turns a Driving Range outing into a fierce competition. Full of mulligans and of course his own rules. While Jesse explains why he is afraid to hit off of a rubber Tee, we share our love-hate relationship with the sport.
Remember finger skateboards, and those Mini BMX bikes? We reminisce about our childhood obsessions, including KDG's legendary Tony Hawk skateboard and Jesses GI Joe action figures. Throw in a quirky story about Kev’s dream of becoming a tree and the ridiculous story of how THE RED "MAGA" Hat tricked us.

Welcome to Getting Out the pod show. Story time Story time Story time Story time Today was a tough call.
Speaker 2Tough call, yeah, I mean, I always wanted to go. Yeah, we wanted to go for a while. It's a good place. They have beer. They have more beer. They have more beer, more beer, so good, cam you beer. They have more beer, so good.
Speaker 1Kev. You guys told you Was it just how many days this week? What Did you drink?
Speaker 2So actually, what was it? I haven't drank until it was today. Okay, so you're doing good, so I'm doing good. Yeah, that's good. I mean I still pick up beer here and there and stuff, you know, and that was today and stuff, so it's good. And people are playing fucking golf stupid. We gotta have, you know, some beers together. You can't. I'm the only one sitting there.
Speaker 1I gotta fucking come out with you guys, because I gotta hit that golf ball again.
Speaker 2Because last time I remember oh, you're worried about golf too.
Speaker 1I'm worried about golf too, and I'm worried about you drinking. So I got to be hitting those balls straight, yeah, and I got to be getting you straight.
Speaker 2Oh yeah.
Speaker 1You like that.
Speaker 2Yeah, they kept going to the right. I was like go straight.
Speaker 1See.
Speaker 2Yeah, oh, you were hitting the fade. I was hitting the fade, or something like that.
Speaker 1Yeah, so it's called. I think if it goes to the right it's a fade and if it goes to the left it's something.
Speaker 2I got a couple of far ones. I was shocked, did you? Yeah, because I got mad. I was like knock off, don the hoop and stuff it's like a video game.
Speaker 1It is a video game. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2I played Angry Birds today too, knocking down captains.
Speaker 1I'm sure you are.
Speaker 2I'm sure you fucking were. I won both games. Oh, so they set it up like a game, yeah, so explain it Three people, all right, and then as much points you get, so you hit it and then you get 11,000. The next person might get 12,000. And the next time I go again then I'm going to double it and try to stay in first place. Now someone can get in first place if they get 45,000. Then you got to hit it further, because the further you hit it, the more points you get. Oh, got you.
Speaker 1Okay, but isn't there like there's flags and there's like trampoline circles, type of thing? That's what I'm talking about. Those are the points, and those are points, yep, but like what happens if you get close to them, though, you still get certain points Now.
Speaker 2Sometimes, if you like, hover over them and the ball lands close to it. Then you know what you get those points Okay okay, whoever's closer.
Speaker 1It's like bocce ball then.
Speaker 2But if you hit the green, you hit the green, you hit the grass. You're not even close to it. You're not getting shit. Really, I don't care what you say, you're not getting shit.
Speaker 1Okay, but wait you can't decide, that Doesn't the scoreboard.
Speaker 2Do it for to me so. Wait, I was saying you were just changing, you were writing your own score. No, I wasn't making my own score, it was following the computer. But I was yelling at them like that doesn't say 45, that says 2.
Speaker 1So in your head you're telling everybody how it was.
Speaker 2I really did win, though.
Speaker 1How was Serge doing? Was he smashing them things? He was.
Speaker 2He's a true. He said oh, I never played in my life. Let me tell you something that kid knows how to play. Okay, he lives in a very gorgeous house. Yeah, not his house, it's his family's house. So they, rich people golf. Rich people know how to play golf.
Speaker 1Yeah, I was part of the crew before. I know. I know we golfed a lot it. I know we golfed a lot. It's just a thing. I don't know why, but it's a thing.
Speaker 2Yeah Well, let me tell you something Rich people love fucking golfing. Dude, I'm not rich and I like golfing.
Speaker 1It's fun, yeah, but have you been? Wait, have you been golfing? Golfing or just?
Speaker 2to Topgolf? I don't know. Topgolf is pretty fun. Hit the balls. No, topgolf's great. Yeah, I haven't been.
Speaker 1I've been to a driving range before which is pretty similar. Right, you know they don't do the whole keeping track of points and stuff. You just go and just hit the ball.
Speaker 2Yeah, but sometimes you lose the ball. You hit it far, you, You're like well no, you're not going to get it.
Speaker 1No, I don't think.
Speaker 2I'll fall and I'll break my neck.
Speaker 1There was a guy in a little cart that I saw him. I tried to hit him.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah. It's like if you hit me on purpose, then you're going to get fined.
Speaker 1Excuse me, dude, I remember they used to have like metal plates on the sides of them.
Speaker 2He still does in the windows and stuff.
Speaker 1Oh, I haven't been in so long, kevin. Oh man, last time I went I remember I went with my friend and I brought my dad's golf clubs Right and back in the day there was this golf set. They're still around today, but I remember around the time I'm talking about they were very prevalent in the golf scene and they were called ping Ping okay, because whenever you hit them in the sweet spot of the club it would make that ping yeah.
Speaker 2It was dope. That's what Stanley said. Yeah it was dope Ping ping, nonstop ping, and it's like I'm going to beat you, sir. Ping Ping is really getting annoying.
Speaker 1Maybe he was using the ping, but I don't know. Maybe other people. I'm sure it's a thing now in other golf clubs.
Speaker 2I was doing it, I said thump thump because it's hitting the ground.
Speaker 1That was their trademark and I remember going and I hate hitting off rubber tees Of course. Is it all rubber tees? It was yeah, you can't put your own tees, of course.
Speaker 2Is it all rubber tees? It was yeah, you can't put your own tees. You can't put your own tees.
Speaker 1See, that's the problem.
Speaker 2I don't know why. For some reason.
Speaker 1I went up once with the big driver. Right, yeah, it's a high rubber tee. Oh, that thing's seeking Boom bro, it's a big horse right. Yeah, huge. Yeah, I went to swing, I hit it. I guess I hit it on the contact point where the arm and the driving club is connected Right and it just snapped off.
Speaker 2Now, that's how you do it, guys. You see that it just snaps off.
Speaker 1No, our dad's club. My dad didn't even really know.
Speaker 2No, you're fucked, yeah, I was young, so I was petrified. You got some muscles snapping that I was like what the fuck?
Speaker 1happened. How did I do it? My boy told me I hit it on the wrong point, the weak point. I snapped, I grabbed a five wood.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Went to go hit that.
Speaker 2Did this? Cracked it right off. Damn, I should be a freaking talent. You got huh Cracking clubs.
Speaker 1Three. Next one, Bro. I couldn't do it again.
Speaker 2I'm going to call you. That was the last time I've ever.
Speaker 1I think that was the last time going to a driving range. I went golfing one more time after that with my dad and years later and that is it.
Speaker 2You just gave up, I just did it's not, it's just.
Speaker 1Yeah, it was a little muff. The club breaker, ladies and gentlemen, yeah that scared the shit out of me. I didn't even know you could break a club by hitting it in the wrong spot, especially on a rubber tee, because rubber tee is weird dude it is because it's like no, have you ever hit off a regular tee?
Speaker 2I have. My brother showed me how to do it and I've done it with him. You've done it with him before. Yeah, it wasn't that great, but you know.
Speaker 1Yeah, but to me it's easier. You can adjust the level and when you hit it it pops out Right right. Yeah, they even have these cheating ones where they have a curve on the back of it right, oh, cool so you know, you said your ball it's called slice or fade yeah. I think I sliced it. Slice it or fade it. Okay so either to the left is a slice or fade, whichever one. So it's either slice or fade. So, but the thing on the back curves up around the golf ball.
Speaker 2Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1So because what causes?
Speaker 2the fade is the spin.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, the fade is the spin, exactly so it stops it from spinning. So it just makes it go whatever, Exactly yeah. Straight. Even if you hit it to the left, it will go to the left.
Speaker 2It's almost like a change-up in baseball yeah it's like a cheat code.
Speaker 1It's like greasing your hand for the baseball, exactly Crazy.
Speaker 2My brother showed that to me. I was like, oh my God, that was back a while ago. They make golf balls where you can hit them, but it's a certain amount of golf balls in a batch where you can set them up to your phone. And then you can hit them and show you how far you hit them. How do you go get them? You don't need them. That's why you got a bunch of them. I mean you could get them. Oh, so you just register them.
Speaker 1They're probably cheaper. You just register them.
Speaker 2You don't need them, that's why you got a bunch of them. I mean you could get them. Oh, so you just register them. They're probably cheaper. You just register them, that's a smart idea.
Speaker 1That's a really fucking smart idea.
Speaker 2You know what's funny about that. Go ahead, I just made that up. I don't know if that's true. Yeah, it's crazy, but that would be a cool idea, right guys? That would be cool. You got me. You got me, good job.
Speaker 1Good job, congratulations, you fucking asshole. I'm sorry, but that's a good bro.
Speaker 2Maybe whoa, that'd be wild.
Speaker 1Yeah, gotta use your brain to make something different, because all you got to really do is put a QR code on the box and make it a box of 50. Exactly, and just all the same golf ball.
Speaker 2Yep.
Speaker 1Right and I guess but wait, how would you? I don't know, it would be weird. It would have to be like a thing where you could just like I don't know. You would have to like swipe it to your phone, or something like that. How would you even be able to do that? I don't know. We're giving these people yeah, because you would have to register each ball. Yeah, no, yeah, but that's a pain in the ass, dude, when you're driving.
Speaker 2Well, you're talking about like getting a For a regular golf game.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's a good idea.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's pretty cool because you track your ball Well.
Speaker 1Even practice though, but I'm saying, on a golf course you are only supposed to use one ball, right, you know so, like even if you have two or three.
Speaker 2Oh, that sucks. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1So if you're a really good golfer, like you're tracking your ball, like that's a really good fucking idea. It really is. All you got to do is use a Other things like that.
Speaker 2You see how far it goes, track it where it is, walk to it, pick it up. Bam, you just need one or three, ladies and gentlemen, and I'm talking about a whole freaking box. Get out of here, come on, cut it out, get out of here.
Speaker 1Walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away.
Speaker 2Oh, look at the fingers. The fingers. That's right.
Speaker 1Do you remember the fucking, the skateboards?
Speaker 2Oh yeah, the fucking, those are cool, the flip.
Speaker 1Yeah, you know those people at competitions and shit out there.
Jesses Trump Conspiracy Theory
Speaker 2They did. Yeah, they're really good at them.
Speaker 1I'm sorry, we're in the car today, so if you're a little rumble every once in a while, that's the engine kicking up, kicking up All electric. All electric. You know what I mean. Got a little generator In this bitch Starting this thing up.
Speaker 2You know what I mean.
Speaker 1That'll do our thing, cause uh Go do some Pops, pops, some stuff, family stuff that's it.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1You know they do those Fucking competitions.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's crazy. Skateboards and all that Hell yeah, they're really good. That With the fingers Can you believe?
Speaker 1that Kick flipping, like you said, that's awesome.
Speaker 2I can't believe that shit.
Speaker 1Oh my god, even the BMW BMX bikes.
Speaker 2Yeah, that was crazy. I don't know how people made tricks with those.
Speaker 1That was stupid.
Speaker 2Look at him flying.
Speaker 1I know, look, I'm doing a hundred spins, I thought the whole thing would never last.
Speaker 2It lasted, it did and then, like famous bikes, came out and stuff it really did dude. I had the Tony Hawk one with the skeleton, the bird skeleton.
Speaker 1Oh, I forgot.
Speaker 2You can get different decks and stuff, yeah, and you can take the tires off and lose them and look for them under your bed Wow, yeah, holy shit.
Speaker 1That's bringing back old memories, dude.
Speaker 2And you had to get the right ones too, and you could take the grip off and put your own Wow yeah.
Speaker 1That's ridiculous.
Speaker 2It reminds me of like.
Speaker 1GI Joe's.
Speaker 2It reminds me of when I was like a little kid.
Speaker 1You know when you're a little kid. You just looked at things differently. Dude, like just looking at the world you would look at like a tree.
Speaker 2I was just thinking that a tree.
Speaker 1It'd be like that would be such a sick place to put a GI Joe up there and like have him do this with a girl, like start a war up there and have that my own.
Speaker 2That would be pretty cool actually, you know what I mean, like with my action figures.
Speaker 1I would always think of that. Like, oh, in the woods, what a cool place would be to set up my action figures.
Speaker 2I would think different, though. I would just stare at a tree and be like I wonder what it would be to be you.
Speaker 1All right, guys. If you don't know, kev has an obsession with becoming a tree. I love being a tree. No, no, no, no, no. This is like you've mentioned this. Have I the last four times we've been together? Is that you? Just you would love to be a tree, yeah.
Speaker 2Well, I better stop it, because I want to be a tree. No, but you know what's? Crazy too.
Speaker 1Reading books about fucking people being trees and other people trying to change them back from being a tree. And they're like no, I love being a tree. Yeah, so like you might have something on your fucking hands, right, friend? No, Damn, Kev's on point. Lately Kev's been on point. I walk outside my door. I don't like. Kev's phone got run over. We talked about this last week, so now Kevin's back in business. I am Hello, yeah.
Speaker 2He's back on.
Speaker 1He's got an iPhone 7 now. He upgraded.
Speaker 2Yes, my man's up there.
Speaker 1So he's climbing up, so he's got his laptop out there, right, and he's on a phone call. I'm like that thing's fucking what. How the fuck is that he forgot how to make phone calls and shit on my wifi. That shit was crazy. I was like, oh shit, yeah, cause he got the fucking password saved. He was close enough. Cause, shit, I love it, the fuck, the password saved in there. It was close enough. You were sitting on the stoop.
Speaker 2I was like ah, good shit, Freaking beautiful Bro. I love it, I love it, I love it.
Speaker 1You're good You're diving in.
Speaker 2I really am. I love it Finding new things and all that Right and it's like things that you before I'm sure I was like what the heck? I'm never going to.
Speaker 1Yeah, I can't understand. There's no point in even trying to learn.
Speaker 2I got five things open. I'm using all of them at once, exactly, exactly dude Talk about editing and watching WWE at the same time. Yeah, it's fucking beautiful guys.
Speaker 1Yes, and I know you're in the middle of, because, before we came here, trump got shot.
Speaker 2Yeah, ladies and gentlemen, he didn't believe me. I was like, oh my God, let's put it on the TV, put it on the TV, put it on the news On the computer, which I don't know how the fuck he's doing this.
Speaker 1So he's watching the news on the computer. I guess the internet lets you watch.
Speaker 2No, it's TV.
Speaker 1Yeah, I guess you. I don't know what the fuck See, he's telling me he's watching. I don't know, but you're watching something and it popped up.
Speaker 2Yeah, so I see Donald Trump and he's covered with agents or whatever they call them. I didn't believe you. He gets up and he's just like raising his hand in the air and he's like we got this, yeah, and there's blood on his ear coming down.
Speaker 1Wait, but the part was you're like he got shot.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's the number one thing I said.
Speaker 1He didn't get shot dude.
Speaker 2Because I'm not watching at all, but he had a red hat.
Speaker 1Yes, you're like oh no, he didn't get shot, it was just his red hat.
Speaker 2Red hat, yeah, and.
Speaker 1I started dying laughing because I'm like I know he didn't get shot. And then all of a sudden, you're dude, no, wait, he did get shot. I was like, wait, no, is it a hat dude, or did he get shot? Yo, he got shot. I run over to the computer. Trump is saying, like people are like holding him back from the gunner as he's trying, like I'll come out Shit's wild, yeah. And there's blood dripping down his ear While he's going Love you people.
Speaker 2It's okay, we got this, don't worry about me.
Speaker 1I just want to know if anyone Behind him, around him, had to take the bullet or gotten shot. Because, yeah, because everybody behind him.
Speaker 2They're like.
Speaker 1Yeah, what's going on? You okay, old man.
Speaker 2They had no idea what happened. Yeah, and then behind them where the bullets were being shot.
Speaker 1So what did I say? What was my theory?
Speaker 2Maybe he like got people.
Speaker 1These Nats people were by the beach Natsy poos. What was this fucking?
Speaker 2But I think he could Hire some people too.
Speaker 1So he can get you. No, maybe just like fake the whole thing. Cause, right around the election, what would be a great Way for him To Get some people on his side? Yeah, yeah Would be to just To like have an assassination attempt and then all of a sudden, like you know, act like don't hold me back, I'm coming after him, like I don't care who's trying to kill me. Like.
Speaker 2Right, and I have to watch that video again because he said I want to, I want to hear the gunshots and how far they were.
Speaker 1Fuck happened? Yes, because all I heard was just you tell me, I think.
Speaker 2I even put in slow motion To you, did you put in slow motion. You found the spot like what the heck? What's in my?
Speaker 1Something, yeah, yeah, but think about it. I put a little pouch or something like that. It's like by radio frequency, so they press a button whenever and it explodes.
Speaker 2No, no, it starts blowing by the air.
Speaker 1At first he was going like this, so it could be on his or yeah, he could have done something like that, like wrestlers do, yeah, they just cut themselves. It could have been something crazy.
Speaker 2You know why we're saying this? Because I hope it's not true. I hope he didn't get shot.
Speaker 1I hope he didn't get shot too, but I think that if he did do that he's a genius yeah.
Speaker 2And because everyone else is using the. If you gotta, bro, think about how. Think about like A, b, c.
Speaker 1You know what I'm BEC Always be cheating my friend, always be cheating Meaning looking for that loophole, because cheating in the way that the government, that the rich people do that's what I've learned, that's what I've been trying to learn Is not do anything illegal. Yeah, but the fine print read that shit, because if it's not in there, it means that I could do it. Right. You could say I can't, yeah, but technically I can, and if I know that I can, that's why these donations happen. That's why rich people are easier to make money.
Speaker 1I saw this chart too. They usually say like the 1% or the 0.1% have all the money, or whatever. Brother, this kid broke it down to like even further. And today it's like eight people or nine people are like own the majority of the world's wealth. It's ridiculous. It's a lot of money. Like eight or nine people like Warren Buffett, bill Gates, all those motherfuckers Because the more money you have like Oprah, it's easier to make. So you have it breaking down. Now it goes even farther. So now it's only really like 200 people, 200 to 300 people, that make up this tax bracket of the 1% that we don't even know who's in.
Speaker 1I know exactly what percent is really like Zero point something, something. 96 point something, something something. Nine six thousand percent, jesus Christ. Yes, something needs to change. It's getting bad. Dude, I'm walking in the stores and a garbage can, a plastic garbage can four dollars and fifty six cents.
Speaker 2Wow, go to the dollar store.
Speaker 1But then it breaks after two weeks. Dude, that's one thing. I'd rather buy quality over quantity, because I know it's going to last. I'll go in the middle. I'll always go in the middle.
Speaker 2I know exactly what you're talking about, because the bad food that we're eating is actually good and the good food is actually bad for us. Think about it. Yes, yes, what they say.
Speaker 1Yeah, yes, because they give us the food pyramid, yeah, and they tell us that that's fucking good, but really it's catalogs paid for the whole fucking thing, yep.
Speaker 2So it's like the same concept.
Speaker 1Yeah. So they're telling us yeah, you're absolutely right. Concept yeah. So they're telling us yeah, you're absolutely right. It's ridiculous, it's getting crazy and it's to the point.
Speaker 2I didn't know it was opposite day, every fucking day.
Speaker 1I'm losing my mind.
Speaker 2I don't even have brain cells. I'm just talking because God's helping me talk.
Speaker 1That's the honest to God truth I'm telling you. I really wish I could keep my mouth shut sometimes, because I just get myself in trouble.
Speaker 2Well, ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to break it down to you right now. So here's talking about rich people and how they have so much money. Now, they don't need all that money, but you know what Actually they do. Now, why do?
Speaker 1they need that money?
Speaker 2Yeah, they do, Because think about how bad the world is right and think about everything getting messed up and people just giving up because the world's so bad. So the next thing is World War III. I'm not trying to scare you, but that's what's happening. So when World War.
Speaker 2III happens. All the rich people are going to get their own. They can even make a. They already have a goal. Right now. They have shelters in their house underneath oh yeah, self-made, or even, if they got someone to build it, doom shelters, whatever they. You know it's scary, I know, but you know what. And there's some people that don't have them, but they have enough money to travel to get into that shelter or pay for it. They have to pay for it. It's a lot of money. My sister's been talking about it too. She knows. You know, now, all those people that have money. You have to get up there for that, and all these people know that's why it's time.
Speaker 1It's a scary thing. It's time to fucking take control of that, fucking Exactly. Take control while you can, right now, before it gets really bad and start saving.
Speaker 2You know what it's not saving?
Speaker 1Start investing and start learning about the capitalist system that we have.
Speaker 2It's too late? No, it's not.
Needle Phobia
Speaker 1Right now. It is the perfect for us right now. It is the perfect time to jump into the stock market to jump into Roth IRAs and stuff like that. Are you guys going to do that. I've been huge into putting away right now.
Speaker 2Of course, that's what it should be.
Speaker 1I've been paying off my debts. My fucking credit score has been going up. I've been paying off my debts slowly, very slowly, but it's just getting to the point where it's I don't even have money left over for anything else, because that's life. That's what they want.
Speaker 2That's how you're supposed to live your life now. These days, I put every extra dollar I have towards this Yep. If you're not rich. That's what's going to happen.
Speaker 1It's crazy, it's crazy, but eventually it's going to change my dad's on retirement.
Speaker 2He's healthy and stuff and doing all this stuff. But my mom's on retirement too. With my dad they have the right to have whatever money they have and be comfortable, but other people they're working their ass off every day, spending paycheck to paycheck. They have to work. You know there's got to be another way to stay home, take care of your family, live your life every day and work at home.
Speaker 1Make it easy for everybody. How is your dad doing? Is he doing better? He's doing good.
Speaker 2He's doing good, he's back to his normal self and all that. It's just he has little white blood cells.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2So that's the only thing.
Speaker 1They're trying to make more cells I have no idea what that means, but I hope that he gets better. You know my dad goes in for heart surgery or something like that. It's scary. Look at you getting phone calls now Getting phone calls.
Speaker 2now you want to break this one. No, no, no.
Speaker 1Okay, I'm just saying no we're not running over that, oh come on, got a nice car here he goes in for some type of like I don't know. They're putting a camera up his arm, yeah, and going into his heart to see if there's like any type of clog or any type of something like that.

Speaker 1Oh man, okay, so now you're going to spine. See, now you're back to the spine. Yeah, I did the spine is. I see how bad it is to spine? I don't know, I think I'd rather get a prostate exam than get a fucking spot. What's that? It's when they like fucking put fingers up your ass. Okay, that's lovely. I think I would rather do. I'm serious. I hate needles so much. Dude Like needles have scarred me for life.

Speaker 2It's something that Can they put you to sleep.
Speaker 1No, because it's not like. It's like a two thing, two second thing no, it's like my dad said he went in for a shoulder too, and it's like they stick this huge thing and they like jimmy it around until they find the spy.

Speaker 2That's a lot of people.
Speaker 1Yeah, dude, there's too many people. Yeah, you'll be okay, I'm scared, dude, I know. Now I got to go to this fucking get these blood tests.
Speaker 2Well, ask them if they can go around the needle, oh God.
Speaker 1Oh, update, update, oh shit, update. So I finally got in touch with my fucking the state health inspector.
Speaker 1I'll tell you about that Because we got that fucking air test back right and the air test came. I did a little more digging on it because it's like 22 pages. I ran it through a couple different GPTs that I made for that particular chat and it gave me the same response each time. So I know that it was accurate. I told it to fact check it based off the web, not off of Reddit, all that other shit. Yeah, because you could do certain things like that. People don't know that you could set it up to just there's GPTs that just fact check, of course, the scientific pages and shit like that. Yeah, like not the Onion and Bloomberg, you know what.
Speaker 1I mean they actually do real shit. Yeah, this saying that like, yeah, the main living condition was okay, which turned out to be my room, basically, because I put the filters in and I put the dehumidifiers in all that stuff. That's what he meant by the main living area, because we were really talking about my room. That's why he meant main living space. Yeah, other living space had so many particulates in the air, not black mold or anything like that, but just so many particulates in the air Right, and fungi and all this stuff, that they couldn't tell you be certain of how much of each is there. Is there, but there's there something there. Yeah, they have to test it. When I got sick, I got sick from the same type of okay, because I'm allergic, I guess, to that type of fungus yeah, and it's right there in the fucking paperwork.
Speaker 1Well, so I luckily I won't. I didn't wake up. Wow, so I luckily I didn't wake up. I stayed up because I knew. I wouldn't wake up at fucking 830 in the morning Of course I called the state health inspector.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1And he didn't answer. So I called the county health inspector and this dude answered Awesome dude, phil shout outs Phil. Yeah, he gave me the best advice. He said start at the top. He said you work your way to the top, take pictures. It's sad I hear about this every day. He goes, I'm code enforcement, he goes, I can't do anything. He goes only buildings of three and under, like three different units, or under, he goes. That's a big complex. He goes. But here is what the number to call and this is what I recommend you do is you start at the top.
Speaker 2And.
Speaker 1I mean? What do you mean? He's like governor, state lieutenant governor, health inspector, state health inspector, county health inspector and. Cc everybody from the top to the bottom, and make sure that they see that you sent it to all these people and at the very bottom of that list, glenwood apartments maintenance, the front desk, all the people at Glenwood that kept ignoring us for a year about this HVAC system.
Speaker 1Yeah, said they were going to clean and then send people over for a pool cleaner. And we look at our lease and it says they're not allowed to use anything that has any type of bleach or anything in it, because on drywall, because it can just go right through the drywall and it's acidic or whatever. The fuck.
Speaker 1They're just making the drywall soft and brittle and that can start forcing debris. Yeah, it's crazy dude. It could just rot the drywall and they would just send them in with fucking pool cleaner. Two dudes didn't speak English. You probably don't even have their fucking you know. Just clean something so dangerous. No masks, just gloves. Whoa, yeah, just go in there and clean.
Speaker 1I don't know clean at all. And if you see the pictures it's like ridiculous how bad. Like the HVAC system, like You've got to clean this shit. It's literally looked like Bob the Builder's 10-year-old son with fucking Legos. With Legos Just moved to tools, wow, and had no idea what he was doing.
Speaker 2Literally like me. You got a pipe and he's hitting it with a hammer.
Speaker 1It would have looked like me trying to put together an HVAC. It's ridiculous, it's like pink foam here, something hanging from the wall. It's fucking crazy dude. Obviously and I showed you the other buildings too, and they all have white veins going through in the exact same spots like it's a very odd thing, though.
Speaker 1There's weird going on, and so I sent that letter. I sent them out a nice letter, told them about it, put the report in it, put the pictures in it. Four hours later, yeah, I'm outside smoking a cigarette on the back deck. Yeah, who do I see walking behind? I don't know, but two people, three people with badges, walk over to the sub basement. I'm like, oh, hey, how you doing? Guys all like buffed up, yeah, hey, hey, how are you?
Speaker 1He's talking to this girl. He's like yeah, so this sub basement sub door's rotted to hell, bro, and you saw it. He's like oh so, yeah, so this is regular. You know, just over the weather damage ozing up. He goes yeah, I see that that's just normal. The water down there, that's normal. Always, sub-pumps can leave a little bit of water. My mold guy said that that's not supposed to happen. He's like there's never supposed to be water left on the top of it, either the guy who does construction and mold and remediation and all that shit is wrong or the guy who's trying to rip me off and not do any work is wrong.
Speaker 1Who told me also to begin with that none of this was mold, it was just mildew, it was just dirt, so, uh. So then I was like. Then I was like he's like do I, can I come in and talk like human being? I was like, yeah, come on, dude, come on in, show you, everything Comes in. It's like the sub-basement first of all. If you're telling me there's no mold down there, how come nobody wants to go down there? Yeah, my optimum guy will not go down there.
Speaker 2Did he go down there I?
Speaker 1need to get my internet fixed. No, they won't go down there. See, my internet won't get fixed because no one will go down there. Wow, yeah, fixed because no one will go down there. Wow, yeah, so something's got to happen. Yeah, so if there's no mold down there, what's going on? If that's perfectly normal, then why the fuck is the internet down there and how am I going to get it fixed? Exactly one. So I like, during this letter, I requested like mold remediation, like all, like you know, make sure, because everyone in that building has asthma. Like, over the course of a long period of time staying in that building, people have been just catching colds more often, and like there's something wrong. You know there's something going on in that building and he knew, like you could see it in his face. Like he's like, like you have pictures.
Speaker 1And I was like, oh yeah, I have pictures because I told you I cleaned out the kitchen when my parents went out on 4th of July, I tore apart the kitchen and I found there was a vent behind where my parents have the microwave and shit like that, which I don't even think they knew about. They forgot, but everything was clean. My mom always cleans around there. Thing is you look, you know, like that, sometimes they have the cobwebs, like just cobwebs grow fast. Right there's a cobweb, but behind the cobweb is you see the vent and there's black spots like on the oh yeah, which is the same shit that's in a track, so it's obviously inside. Yeah, he saw that. And then I showed him the baking soda that was standing like right in front of him. All the air was hitting it.
Speaker 1Oh, you know it's been there for probably like six, seven months. No White spot like our black spots all over. Yeah, baking so it lasts forever, bro, right, but dude, black spots all inside of it. I have pictures of all of it. Cutting boards, black spots on them, yeah, but all sitting right next to that vent.
Speaker 1I closed that vent, I cleaned the shit out of it yeah, fucking made sure it's not coming through and I took off. When I showed him the pictures, bro, he took his hat off and like rubbed his hand through. I was like, yeah, I got you now bitch. He's like oh, okay, so what do you want us to do? Because I kept telling him, going back and forth, because I'm like yo, because he doesn't understand.
Speaker 1I'm like you see these windows, the cracks around all these windows, like the little cracks? He's like well, we're talking about mold now. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, this has to do with this, because that's moisture. You're laying moisture into my fucking house. One energy is being lost by me, so that's more on my energy bill. I'm not keeping in air conditioning or heat. It's going through and it's going into the walls, yeah, which means that there's some type of moisture being caught by something in those walls. So over the course of how long? Something's obviously going on inside your fucking walls. That's not normal for there to be, especially inside of a bathroom, on a window. And then you go around to the back side of the window and the back side of the window is barely holding on on the outside, like are you kidding me? Like this shit's a joke and he says it's supposed to be like that, like trying to act like we're literally, like we're stupid. I'm trying to help you, I'm going to help everything. So what do you want us to do?
Speaker 1I was like I want my windows I gave a list of the dude who came by earlier. I want my windows checked and re-caulked. I want new uh window screens on all the windows. Yeah, I want the doors resealed and like re-rubbered. You know what I mean. Make sure that there's nothing coming in, because the front door is like what do you saw? It's cracked right open. It's ridiculous, dude, absolutely ridiculous. And the guy said there's so much like the air test from outside, right outside our door. There's a lot of pathogens right outside. If there's no gap, nothing to hold, like you know, seal my door, that's coming in, dude, and you could see it right on the crevices of when the door and the like the floor meet, like no matter how hard you scrub, that shit doesn't come out. You know what?
Speaker 1I mean yeah it's because that has not been sealed correctly. I see, these people just don't know what the fuck they're doing. They hired people to do it in two seconds and just get the fuck out of there. Well, of course.
Speaker 1I said I want my bathroom resealed and I want you to fucking go in that sub-basement, do the mold and deal with the HVAC unit. Mm-hmm, all right, Well, all right, well, we gotta figure this out. We're gonna go over this report. I want to talk to the guy who did the mold thing because the sub-basement's absolutely fine. I was like, bro, the sub-basement isn't fine, I will bet my life on it. I will bet my life on it. And he's like, all right, all right, I'm, I'm trying to go home, we'll try, we'll figure this out. Oh, like dou, all right, I'm trying to go home, we'll figure this out. Douchebag, right, I'm trying to help you. Two hours later, phone call In your lease it says you're not allowed to have a bird. We lived there for 11 years. My mom got confirmation. I remember I was actually there in the leasing office with her when she signed the lease Right and she made sure and she paid extra money.
Speaker 2Right.
Speaker 1Every month for a dog and a bird Right. And plus we have their service animals Right. My mom had them as emotional support animals, right. So they can't say shit, exactly. So this asshole who said he was trying to help us tries to get us evicted two hours later. Oh, that's nice, right. There you go. So now my heart's palpitating because now I'm worried about my fucking boy, chewy, having to bounce. And even the guy who came through the mold said that he would be the first one affected by black mold. So, like you would know, he's like a great. That's cool. I don't know if you've ever seen that movie, bird cage on netflix.
Birds Are Awesome/ Birdcage
Speaker 1No, it's actually pretty cool. It's identical. There was this invisible thing that was killing people in this thing in this show.
Speaker 1Making people go crazy, and the only way to tell it was around were birds were the only thing that were around, and they went nuts whenever it was around, so people would carry them birds around in cages. It was called bird cage, I see. Yeah, so like bird, like he was actually like, he's a warning sign. It's like there's black mold. I got to see that. So that's crazy, Like you know what I mean. So we know that it's not black mold, but as far as far as it can tell right now, I know that it's not black mold in our area. Maybe it is in the HVAC room. I don't know, dude, I'm not a mold expert, but I know that sub-basement he said it's definitely some type of black mold. Black mold's very hard to grow, though, but other molds are just as dangerous. Yeah, so I got really sick, dude. Really sick Could be mixed. I'm telling you, dude, something's fucking going on, and if, like, if anyone has any any recommendations for lawyers that are willing to like that actually have the money to like, go up against them, that whole building will gladly, gladly sign. That whole building will gladly gladly sign.
Speaker 1There's kids in that building, dude. Newborn babies. Newborn babies With asthma. Now, With asthma. Yeah, Just developing asthma. Three or four. She's like four or five years old now she has asthma, Didn't before? It's crazy man, Absolutely crazy. You have older ladies catching asthma.
Speaker 2It's a lot, ladies and gentlemen. It's crazy, man, absolutely crazy. You have older ladies catching up with us.
Speaker 1It's a lot, ladies and gentlemen. It's a lot, so, please, so we apologize for On the couch, we're on the road, we're doing a lot.
Speaker 2Ladies and gentlemen, we're all over the place now In the combo.
