 Welcome to Megalife 21 live as opposed to progressive discussions but you can call this is a segment of progressive discussions because we go over different topics sometimes current topics or just everyday issues and annoyances that may be on people's minds today modern day America and this is your place to vent I'm enjoying some Cabernet Sauvignon leftover from yesterday's wine show that I was invited to by Mr. Ronald J. Tyrion of New Orleans Louisiana this one is called the gentlemen's collection language please yeah right gentlemen I use that term loosely that's like that's like calling a go-go bar a gentleman's club hardy hard hard hard look at it so geezer and he goes on telling his whole story and that's an old company goes back to 1843 it's Lindemann Lindemann is his name Dr. Dr. Vinnie Boombats no Dr. got this old-fashioned writing from the 19th century Dr. Henry John Lindemann since 1843 1843 this guy has been making fermented beverages gentlemen the gentlemen's collection there you go I want to give a shout out to rock and roll musician singer and DJ extraordinaire from northern New Jersey from Bergen County Mr. Kelly stevens and I would like to give a shout out to my buddy Jimmy liberal Jimmy Leguari and Brian Slate together collectively they are known as vodka incorporated because they are vodka enthusiasts to say the least anyway seven lucky bells for the live show that we're doing right now of course because it's live this is a good quality hotel bell the the other one I had that was given to me from a dollar store I slapped the shit out of it and the thing fell apart okay and now I have the Honeymooners Thelma bell remember when Ed Nord went over Thelma did you please step into the dining area with my coffee I would like two lumps and Thelma says if you keep bringing that bell you'll get two lumps I have a special celebrity guest from the past and I will introduce the celebrity guest a little bit later first what I want to do is go over some topics as to why well first I'll talk about the rich rude asshole mentality of people with big bucks yeah the rude asshole mentality of rich people just give you one example that makes no sense at all to me I mean it's illogical I'm on River Road in Edgewater headed for Edgewater Commons I had to go to Target and I see the light turn red from a distance so naturally I do what my grandfather taught me I slow down let the car quickly roll not a slow roll quickly roll and what happens is by time you get to the red light it might turn green and then you never have to wear out your brake pads because these people that constantly jam their brakes they wear out their brake pads and brake jobs are very expensive okay so I proceed to roll quickly so this Audi brand new Audi SUV behind me well the person doesn't like the idea that I'm slowing down for a red light that's what you're supposed to do because you're supposed to stop person swerves around me gets in front of me only to jam on their brakes to stop at the very same red light that I had to stop at that I saw at a distance now how fucking stupid is that the person is jamming their brakes on and and obsessed with driving fast only to stop at a red light that I'm stopping at I get people tailgating me doing all sorts of things like that driving BMWs Mercedes in this area coming from Fort Lee whatever people with money not only do they expect to be waited on in retail by you know customer service uh they expect people to drop their the customers they're dealing with and run over to them sometimes the rich ladies they tap the counter with their fingers thinking that that that is going to magically make everyone uh rudely push their customers aside just to run to them okay I seen it done at the the fine jewelry department in Lord and Taylor up uh in Paramus near I guess it's for it I'll have you I when one of my exes was the manager of the fine jewelry department and this rich old lady was tapping her fingers like excuse me does anyone work here is there anyone else that works here yes there are people that work here but they're busy helping other customers you are not special you are not better than anyone else okay okay now I will this is the mentality of the wealthy you know they are natural born assholes pricks and scumbags they just have that that's the truth we tell the truth here we don't pull no punches here at uh like mega life 21 and progressive discussions now um next topic um technology is killing our communication skills as a society simply because not just because that everyone and not just millennials even like middle-aged women and middle-aged people they're walking around hypnotized by their smartphones they're not aware of their environment they don't look to the right to the left up and down the only time the reason why they're looking straight ahead is because that they got their smartphone in front of their face texting or whatever they're doing now this happens all the time you go you walk into a doctor's office if all the millennials especially the young ladies sit down right away they whip their smartphone out probably because they don't want any anybody to hit on them or they really do not want to communicate with people they don't really want to talk to anybody because they're in their own little clique uh Americans tend to form cliques just like they did when I was in grammar school high school college they form tight cliques they only associate with their kind of people and their friends because they're too cowardly to make new friends and talk to strangers or maybe joke around with someone at a cash register uh you know show a little sense of humor show a little humanity so they even like high school kids are crossing a busy road not even looking to see if a bus or a truck is going to run them over and and kill them they're looking straight ahead with the with the smartphone right in front of their face and um then also at the gymnasium my buddy Jamila Borey goes to the gym called Blink I know it's a stupid name but the price is good the membership is reasonable he goes to Blink he goes he works out and there's a young man you know we're not picking on just the women there's a young man multiply that several times over that is supposed to be working out he has his weights dumbbells from the dumbbell rack all over the floor where someone can trip and injure themselves listening to music and texting with the smartphone and just having just monopolizing all the equipment not not not just the the dumbbells that are on the floor but monopolizing the machine or the bench that somebody else who is dedicated to training would like to use and Jimmy's telling me the guy's preoccupied with the smartphone and he's asking how much longer you're going to be do you need those dumbbells on the floor do you need the bench because I sure do and the person the the young punk proceeds to ignore him until my friend Jimmy gets pissed off then he's got to say something and then they're like shocked that you're reprimanding them you know so it's like no no devotion no dedication no ability to focus at all nothing and this is due to high technology now whether or not people will suddenly grow weary of doing that and start learning how to communicate with others the old fashioned way who knows uh only time will tell it could get worse you know and another thing is people have become very lazy on social media to actually reply to another human being the old fashioned way by typing typing words forming sentences forming paragraphs what they do is they'll send you a cute animation or an icon
