0:00 | 29:31

I talk through my rhythm of living in the Philippines, from prayer and gym time to yard work and keeping the house running when motivation drops. Then we shift into blunt takes on US politics, media heat, and the small daily hassles that can reveal bigger planning problems. 


• Morning routines that keep life steady, including Mass and the gym 
• Managing the yard and dividing household responsibilities 
• Personal views on US politics, leadership, and media narratives 
• Frustration with misinformation and exaggerated claims in the news cycle 
• “unavailable” menu items as a planning and inventory problem 
• Traffic stress, risky driving habits, and why it wears you down 
• Practical ideas like better parking and smarter town planning 


Let me know what you think, and thanks for hanging out. I’ll see you guys next time. God bless.

Greetings Faith And Daily Routines

SPEAKER_02

You were listening to the objective jerk and I am said jerk. What's up? What's up, y'all? What's going on? How's everybody doing? One of the I don't know, I got a couple things that are a little old news now, but oh well. Oh well. Oh well.

SPEAKER_01

What's up? What's up? How's everybody doing? Going to the gym, staying up on your prayers. I've been bad with my rosary though. Went to Mass today, this morning, which during the summer here I generally like because Monday mornings it's it's in English and it's in the morning, so it's not quite as hot. If we go in the afternoon on Sunday or whatever, it's so freaking hot. It's just like it's almost unbearable. So yeah, I've been doing that. I've been working on my yard trying to get my my green thumb on. So our yard is tropical and incomplete, sort of. Like my wife, there's all kinds of plants here. Like Filipinos like to have a crap load of plants just all over the place. Like there's no organization really. Not all, but generally, from what I've seen. And my wife is no exception. So she always buying plants, and then you know, but then the last plant she bought didn't make it, or she's not very good at maintaining. And so I made a deal with her that instead of me worrying about the house, I was like, I'll just take care of the yard. I'll take care of the yard. You find someone to to help clean the house, or you guys, you know, gotta clean the house a little bit. Because I was always kind of, you know, I mean, we're both stay-at-home basically, but she's always kind of on the move with her dad and her pickleballing and doing all the stuff. So, you know, I was kind of like, okay, I'll maintain the house, whatever. And but then it's like when I'd get my my depression kick in, it's like I just wouldn't care as much, and then the house would just go to crap because kids are you know, they're so great at helping. I mean they help sometimes, but you know how kids are. They're retads. Move my mic a little bit.

SPEAKER_02

Ooh, I think that's better like that. Oh yeah, huh? Should have done it a while ago. Anyway.

Politics Blame Games And Media Heat

SPEAKER_01

So yeah, so for about a week now I've been just kinda you know, going through, getting all the dead stuff, clearing stuff out, moving some plants around, planning some of them, and then trying to find because some plants, you know, can sit in the sun all day, some only can't sit in any sun, and then some need a little bit, you know, so I'm trying to find the good spots and move stuff around. So that's kind of like what I do in the morning, and then go to the gym at 10 o'clock when there's less people there. Although today there was more people than normal, which kind of sucked. I like it when the gym is like my own gym. I can pick whatever I want. Anyway, but yeah, so that's kinda all that I've been doing, I think. What else? What else? Yeah, I think that's it. Anyway, I got some I got some bullets here. First thing I got on here is Gavin fuckface. Blaming the oh yeah, so this black dude killed like all seven of his kids, a nephew, and then like his ex or something, like a shitload of people. And then Gavin Newsome's like, oh, the NRA, yeah. It's like, dude. My gosh, dude. More on the retarded uh Democrats coming up, but that's just restart. I'm kind of not talking too much about it because it's kind of old news, I guess. But and then uh, you know, there's I mean, the whole thing with Pope the Pope and Trump is pretty much over for the most part. But I mean, Trump, I've seen some stuff with him, and he kind of seems like a fake Christian. Like, I think he believes in Jesus and all that kind of stuff, but he doesn't educate himself in the Bible and all that kind of stuff.

SPEAKER_00

He's just like, I like it all. I like all the Bible, it's all good.

SPEAKER_01

So, you know, which is fine, whatever. But I mean, I would prefer president to be like a strict Catholic. That'd be nice one of these days. I mean, JFK was a Catholic, but he was a man whore too, so not the best Catholic.

SPEAKER_02

But, you know, Trump's killing it though, man.

SPEAKER_01

There's stuff going back and forth. Uh Iran, Iran is crumbling, dude. People are trying to be like, oh, Trump doesn't know what he's doing. Trump knows exactly what he's doing. Trump is the perfect president. Those are the kind of people you need to be in charge. You need the fucking aggressive assholes that know how to, you know, how to deal and stuff like that, you know? Said it before. I don't want to beat that dead horse.

SPEAKER_02

The SPLC? Oh, that's the yeah. The anti-racist group or what do you call it?

SPEAKER_01

Organization that was donating money to racists, you know, because they wanted to keep their job, you know. That's like that is like, you know, police completely like paying money to have people, you know, be criminals, so that that gives them a reason so they can have a job as a police officer. Because if there's no crime, you don't need police, right? It's the same kind of thing. And then some people are like, oh my gosh, now Trump is attacking dude, he's not attacking anybody, man. It's like you it's it's in black and white that they're donating money to this crap. And I've said it before, is like I remember Yeah, early 2000s, and there was no such like racism was was done. Like there was no I mean, I was in the when I was in the army, I was in the south, and there was a couple black folks I've talked about that kind of they weren't racist towards me, but they definitely like kind of gave me the cold shoulder shoulder, you know. I've told the story before. Didn't hurt my feelings. Well, maybe a little, I guess, but you know, it was just like what the fuck? I th I thought it was it was funny. And whatever. But but yeah, and then all of a sudden it's like racism, racism. It's like where how did just racism just go from zero to a hundred in just like ten years? Well, this is why. Because the SPLC is that right though?

SPEAKER_02

SPLC doesn't seem like it's right. Keeping that racism alive, of course.

SPEAKER_01

Again, more proof that the Democrats are garbage freaking what's the damn it fraud, yeah, garbage fraudulent freaking individuals. And it's like, man, you know, even like with Trump and and the whole the shooting at the at the thing, which I have that on there later. But and they sit there and say, like, oh, it's both sides. Oh, the left, the right does it. It's like, okay, yes, both sides do it, both Democrat, Republican, both, but man, the Democrats right now are just in full swing, freaking denial, fraud, lying, everything, man. Just like every negative thing that goes towards a politician, the Democrats are just freaking going crazy with it right now. You know, it's like it's insane. So, well, I mean, right now, I don't know. So I made a bullet point about Iran, Trump, the war is kind of starting to get annoying. I think he's I didn't like the fact that he gave them another, okay, I'll give you two. It's like, no, man, that's it. Just fucking, it's done. They're just Iran is just I mean, supposedly there's like a coup going on because they got no government or they have no military leadership. So they've they've taken it's Iran at this point is almost like you know when you kill a snake and you just cut the head off and it just fucking twists and moves around for like a half hour? That's like what Iran is right now, it's just still doing shit, even though it has no head, and it's just chaotic, and I don't know. It's just Iran is a snake without a head right now. And they just need to just dude finish it, man. I swear if they okay, there's if they give them another, you got, you know, three days to whatever, and then they need to just Iran's got nothing. They have no cards, dude. None. They try and act like they do, but they don't. And then retarded liberal whatever will be like, oh, Iran's in control. Iran.

SPEAKER_02

It's like, God, whatever. Shut up. Okay, I said that, I said that. Coup, okay.

SPEAKER_01

So here's another liberal retard. I don't know, for this thing that I read, they didn't have her name, unfortunately. But a woman that is a US citizen, a while back, she claimed that she was detained by ICE for 40 plus hours. And saying, like, oh, I'm a citizen, and ICE held me for 40 hours, blah blah blah because whatever. And then it comes out that she was actually that whole time she was standing in a hotel and enjoying a spa and everything. So it was another bullshit. It's just more bullshit from the liberal left, dude. It's so annoying. Alright. Cole Allen, right? Teacher. Surprising. From California, surprising. Right?

SPEAKER_02

The White House Correspondence Dinner. So Again. So this is okay, so presidents get, you know, threats all the time. Most of them are meaningless.

Why Everything Is Suddenly Unavailable

SPEAKER_01

And yes, Obama, Biden, they've all gotten some threats. But there's never been the attempts that have happened to Trump. Right? Except since like what Reagan? When he actually got shot, though. So I mean, and again, that was a Republican, right? So it's like I don't know, man. What's annoying is when like left-wing media and stuff, they or people, because there's lots of news crap going on, and you have individuals like I can't remember his name, but he brings up the fact that you know, politicians, media heads, they're all like, oh, we need a battle, we need to do this, you need to fight the whatever, and Trump's a Nazi, you gotta kill Nazis, and blah blah blah. They say all this crap. And then this kind of stuff happens, and they're like, Well, we need to stop saying this crap, and they're like, Yeah, well, it needs to be on both sides. It's like, no, it's the left. Does the right again to you know not segue, but to my earlier argument, yes, both sides do this crap. But right now, it's been for the last year, since Trump's second term, it's been nothing but from the left and Democrats. They are the reason this guy went through and tried to want to shoot, you know, people from the administration. It's the politicians' fault. The liberal Democrat politicians and the media constantly like, oh, Trump, he's a fascist, all these fucking claims, you know. And then what was it? Fucking dumbass Don Lemon was like, he didn't go to the dinner. I was invited, but I didn't go because this administration, all they do is silence, you know. Trump silences his critics and all this kind of crap. It's like, no, he goes after people who are blatantly lying, making up lies about him. That's who he sued and won because they're just making up lies. You can't just fucking make up hearsay whatever the hell you want. If you report the facts, then but they don't.

SPEAKER_02

He's such a garbage person, dude. I would not. Never mind. Let's see. Man, I'm only at 14 minutes. Damn, I went through that way too quick.

SPEAKER_01

So how are you doing?

SPEAKER_02

Shit.

SPEAKER_01

So I guess I would bitch about the Philippines. So the f they I've talked about before how like restaurants or or yeah, like fast food or or even like when you go to a restaurant and it's like you want to order something, but they don't have it because it's unavailable or whatever, because I don't know if it's the managers, just suck. I know some of it is the managers because Filipinos are not good at planning ahead. I've said that before. So a manager has to know, you know, do some inventory. Oh, okay, we got this. Okay, I need to put the order in for some cheese so we so we don't run out of cheese. And since last time it took forever to get the cheese, I'm gonna order it a little sooner to make sure that we have cheese. Well, they don't think like that. They're like, oh shit, we're out of cheese, okay, order some more. And then they don't have cheese for like a week or something. You know what I mean? Like, that's the kind of the mentality of the some of the work, the I don't know, what the managers, I guess, for the restaurants and whatnot. Because like I said, to be fair, some, you know, it's kind of hard to get shipments here. You got the one highway fucking take for, dude. I couldn't imagine driving a big ass truck here. It would just take forever to drive from here to Manila. It would suck. But knowing that though, it's like, okay, it takes this long, so next time I'm gonna order it a little earlier. Again, I can't say too much because I don't know all the details. I have I never worked as a manager for one of these here, and it's gonna be a little different. But it happens a lot, right? So, an example is like today I went to Mass, first, first mass, and then I was like, you know what? I'm gonna get me some breakfast. Get some breakfast so then I can start working on the yard and everything. So then 10 o'clock comes around, go to the gym, so on and so forth. So I go to McDonald's to get the English muffin sausage muffin thing. And she's like, so I I, you know, hey, can I get the blah blah blah the English muffin? And she's like, oh, it's unavailable. And I'm like, oh fuck. Okay, I'll get the cheesy egg de sol, which is something here, but anybody not living here won't know what that is. And she says that's unavailable. And then I'm like, well, what? And so then she's like, they don't have cheese. Like, that's what they're out of, is cheese. So I'm like, she's like, you can get the big breakfast, which is basically a deconstructed egg McMuffin, you know, without cheese. So I'm like, why didn't she just say, okay, you can get the the egg McMuffin, but there there's no cheese available? Like, why can't I I don't know, you know what I mean? Like they could say, we don't have any cheese, so we can get the egg McMuffin without cheese. Okay, cool, I'll just do that. You know what I mean? But I don't know. Why? So then I get the big breakfast and I basically make the egg McMuffin myself, put the hash brown on there, and there's no cheese. And actually it was like pretty good. So I think actually I might order that from now on. Just order it because I like putting the hash brown in there. Fucking it's pretty good. I mean, I don't really get it too often, but I think that's what I'm gonna do. I'm just gonna order that from now on and make my own egg McMuffin. Because to be honest with you, I don't like the cheese. So I mean, and you're like, what the fuck, dude? You're just talking bitching about cheese. Cheese, cheese, cheese, and you're like, you don't even like the cheese. Yeah, a lot of times I order no cheese, but it's just it's the principle and just the whole mechanics of it all is just retarded to me. And that's just kind of how it's just one of those things here that is different. Again, people are like, man, I go to places and they're out of stuff, and it's like, yeah, it does happen. But here it's like almost every time. Not every time, if I was to get something for myself, I guess, but like if we were to go and get a couple different things for some different people, there would be something that's not available every time.

SPEAKER_02

And yeah, it just gets annoying sometimes. Like, what was it? We just went. Was it yesterday?

Traffic Stress And Risky Road Habits

SPEAKER_01

I went with my wife, she's like, let's go get some hollow hollow, which is like a frozen treat thing. Hollow hollow means mix, so it's mix mix. It's got a bunch of stuff in it. And so we go there and then oh, it's unavailable. It's like, you know. And I was like, and I said that, I was like, it's probably gonna be unavailable. Because it it happens all the damn time, man. It's just like, geez. McDonald's is better about it though. I mean, they are I can't. I mean, except when they have like you know, special whatever, then you know, like, I don't know, I'm trying to think like if they have some special offer or a limited time kind of thing. It's not that the limp that the the time period is over, it's that they ran out of it, and you know, so it's like you'd go there and it's like, oh, unavailable, unavailable. But I mean, to get the normal stuff, usually they have it, but they didn't have the cheese today. So it was kind of surprising for that. But like a lot of the other places are just really bad about it. And I was giving I was giving the the lady at the drive-thru some shit though. Cause I was when she told me there's like no cheese, and I'm like, well, isn't I said that I was like, with the big breakfast, she's like, the big breakfast is available, and so then I'm reading it, and I'm like, well, isn't that basically the egg McMuffin? Just not with that with I was like, never mind, just okay, yeah, I'll get that. And then when I get up to the window, I'm like, I was like, you need to fire the manager. But I don't know, it's just kind of crazy. It's just, you know, some things that are and then man, this morning, you know, I bitch about the traffic and stuff, but like today, there's just certain days where it's just so many people are just horrible. They're just shitty drivers. They park in the worst possible place that they can park. Like, how the hell do you think parking there is a good idea? You know, and then they just do the dumbest things, they drive on the wrong side of the road, they pull out in front of you. They just all the shit I always complain about is just it never stops. It's just it's so infuriating. You know, and then they god, they're so slow going through the light, man. It's like the light turns green, and they're just like, oh, they don't give it gas, they just let off the pedal and let it coast. Kind of it's like, dude, go, let's go. There are other people that need to get somewhere. Like they're, I don't know. Because the only way that I like to go somewhere long distance is at night. I'll leave and just drive through the night, and there's nobody on the road. I mean, there's still some, but I've driven with people and they're like they freak out because they're like, oh my god, he drives so fast. When I'm actually not really driving that fast. I'm driving like 50 miles an hour. 50, anywhere from like 50 to 75 miles an hour. That's like as fast as I'm going. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02

And they're just like, oh, oh.

SPEAKER_01

It's like. Oh my gosh. I see why there are no Filipinos in Formula One.

SPEAKER_02

Let me see. Let me see what. I'm gonna see what a hundred kilometers is.

SPEAKER_01

And miles. See, that's nothing. So yeah, sometimes I might be going like 75 on like some straightaways that are, you know, four-lane, you know, and they're just like, oh my god! It's like, man, dude, I don't know if I'm ever gonna. I don't know if I'm is there ever gonna come a time when I can just not be bothered by that stuff? I don't know, man. I have to like start drinking or something. That's the other thing, too, is like half the people on the road are drunk. Like in the middle of the day, people drink too much here, man. They like right now, there's already some people sitting around a table with some I mean they have water with them, but in the gin, beer, like there are people that some people that drink like every night. And you just and they're kind of tricycle drivers too. And you can just see them in the morning, like they're just you know, when somebody's was partying and got no sleep and they're like hung over or still drunk, they just have that look, you know. You see it all the time, and then they take a nap. You know, that's that's the thing, is like you can be an alcoholic, somewhat functioning alcoholic, and be a tricycle driver here because you can I mean they all drive, you know, because they're fucking just barely going, or like and they just do the dumbest things, and then you're like, what the fuck? And they just smile at you. But they they can give rides and they can take naps throughout the day, and they can, you know, they don't have to sit there and like really work work.

SPEAKER_02

And then by the time they feel good, it's fucking time to drink again. It's like it's like, man.

SPEAKER_01

Like I have a friend that I think was thinking about moving here, but I don't think he is now. I haven't really talked to him about it, but we haven't talked too much. He's he's got a little TDS going on, but like we we still got along. And but he has some problems with I don't think drinking though. I think his was more other stuff, but I think drinking can lead to it though. But with everybody drinking, it was just, you know, my dad did not last long when everybody's just, you know. I mean, kids can go buy, you know, my dad could be like give money to my one of my kids, like, go walk to the corner store and get me a bottle of gin, and they could do it, you know what I'm saying? Like so many things that I thought were kind of cool when I got here are fucking annoy the shit out of me now. I mean, not that so much, but speed limits. There's no speed limits. When I first got here, I was like, this is awesome, man. I can drive however fast I want. And but that was when COVID was still going on, so there wasn't as many people on the road, so I could drive pretty much as fast as I wanted. Didn't really have to, you know, there's some checkpoints for whatever. But then as soon as the restrictions were lifted, and then I saw the real traffic, I was like, oh shit, this is fucking crazy. Because it's kind of like a small constricted area. There's a lot of people. Like, there's a lot of people that live in the city I live in, and it's a small little city. Like it just officially became a city like 10 years ago or something. Well, maybe a little longer than that now, because I've been here six years.

Parking Planning And City Growth

SPEAKER_02

But yeah, during the on Good Friday. Good Friday. Was it Good Friday? No, it's not Good Friday, is it?

Final Thoughts And Sign Off

SPEAKER_01

Well, whatever. I think I talked about before when they had the the the parades and everything. There was just so many people, and I'm like, damn, this is a lot of people. This is all the people that live here, and my wife's like, yeah, and I'm like, gosh, no wonder it's like fucking retarded as hell to get through town because there's just so many people. And then there's nowhere to park because they don't let you park anywhere because they want you to take a tricycle. But it's like, man, you know, and this is in a lot of other cities and towns, too. But it's like, dude, they they need to build like a parking structure, right? A parking garage. I don't know if I talked about this before, but there's like a building downtown, well, downtown for where I live, that's pretty much useless. But if they built a parking structure, like four levels, four or five levels of parking. So when people come to the downtown area to do whatever, they can drive their car and park and then take a tricycle from there to wherever they gotta go. Or when people come from out of town, same thing. That would help so much as far as like parking and traffic, and because like half the people who are like city workers, they park at the church. So when you go to mass, there's nowhere to park. And or if they have like some kind of something going on, it's just like, man, I just it sucks because I don't want to, I don't it makes me not want to go do anything because there's just it's just such a headache to do, it's just annoying. I don't know. And they don't think about that stuff like All Souls Day is always such a shit show, and it's like if they would plan it out better, man.

SPEAKER_02

But I don't know, they're just Filipinos are not good at planning stuff, they just really are not. I don't know what it is, but anyway.

SPEAKER_01

I love it here still. It's a little fucking hot, it's getting as hot today, but it's that time of the year, so anyway. But that's it. Uh yeah, let me know what you think, and thanks for hanging out. I'll see you guys next time. God bless. Alright, bye.
