Work in 2030: Radical Self-Reliance, AI, and Who You Can Trust

"No one's gonna come save us" — that's the working assumption the whole segment runs on. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley press Justin Meyers and Jason Sipple on whether too much weight for surviving 2030 gets dumped on individuals while government, academia, corporations, family, and community get a pass. Jason doesn't trust government or big corporations to act in people's interests, rejects handouts, and says people have to create value and lead locally — he shares his own burnout story from trusting the system. Justin points to YouTube University, AI-driven learning, and multiple income streams as the real path. The lightning round forces 60-second messages to parents, the gig economy as liberation or trap, and a flat prediction that employers will quietly cut headcount with AI while saying nothing publicly.

Alex:

Dave and Jerremy ask the question that hollows out the room—when the

2

:

system breaks, who carries you home?

3

:

The answer the guests

land on isn't gentle...

4

:

and the lightning round

only sharpens the edge.

5

:

Dave Conley: I.

6

:

think all of us are on the same page.

7

:

Change is coming and we're,

all a little bit like, wow.

8

:

It's, not just a small change.

9

:

It's a big change.

10

:

And this whole series has been about

at work is gonna look like in:

11

:

Here's the thing that I've

asked everybody, and YouTube,

12

:

by the way, are our last guests.

13

:

And so what I'm trying to understand

is so many folks that we've talked

14

:

to have said, you have to do this.

15

:

The person has to do this,

people have to do this.

16

:

Like, it's, this individual responsibility

over and over and over again.

17

:

And what I, haven't heard too much

of is what is the role of government?

18

:

What's the role of academia?

19

:

What's the role of

companies and corporations?

20

:

What's the role of your community, or

your family, like, what it feels like

21

:

we're, giving too much responsibility

to the individual and not enough to

22

:

all of the different parts of places

that we, live and work and learn.

23

:

So like where, does the

rubber actually meet the road?

24

:

Or is it just all on us?

25

:

Jason, what do you think?

26

:

Jason Sipple: Hmm.

27

:

It's not a, a simple question.

28

:

I don't want the government

involved in, things.

29

:

Like, I don't like the idea of people

just receiving pay for a living.

30

:

And I don't un, I don't like the

idea of us not going out and creating

31

:

and solving problems together.

32

:

Like, it doesn't, feel right to me.

33

:

It doesn't feel, when I look, at our

current model, when I look at the news,

34

:

when I look at what's happening in the

world and, just, I feel like there has

35

:

to be some kind of reset where it's

brought back to a you and me level, Dave.

36

:

I really do think it's gonna have

to be new leadership, new ways of

37

:

thinking, new ways of, going forward.

38

:

And I know that's a very basic answer.

39

:

I just don't think

government's the answer.

40

:

I don't think government oversight,

more government involvement is

41

:

the answer to, going forward.

42

:

Dave Conley: okay, so what

I'm hearing is, all of those

43

:

institutions are off the hook.

44

:

The communities, the, governments,

the, academias, the, all of them

45

:

are like, since they're not gonna

46

:

Jason Sipple: No, not off the hook.

47

:

I just don't trust them to do anything.

48

:

Yeah.

49

:

No, I just don't trust 'em to do anything.

50

:

Like, I don't trust them

to have our best interests.

51

:

So I think we have to have different

leadership that's gonna move in a

52

:

direction where we start moving in the

direction where it is more supportive.

53

:

Like, I don't think, I just don't think

the handouts and teaching people like,

54

:

Hey, it's okay if you don't do anything.

55

:

If you, if you just exist, like it's

you, you have to go create value.

56

:

Like you weren't made in God's

image just to sit around and play

57

:

video games or whatever, right?

58

:

Like it's, go do something.

59

:

Go help your community.

60

:

Go be a leader in your community.

61

:

Go, do something.

62

:

Dave Conley: Okay, so

63

:

Jason Sipple: don't know.

64

:

Dave Conley: now I'm hearing don't trust

your community, don't trust your families.

65

:

Don't trust academia.

66

:

Is that what you're, mean?

67

:

Jason Sipple: no.

68

:

No.

69

:

Is that what you're hearing?

70

:

Because I'm just saying I don't

trust that the government has

71

:

our best interest in, mind.

72

:

Like I don't trust that big corporations

have our best interest in mind.

73

:

I don't trust that someone that

is tracking our eyeball movements

74

:

and knows exactly what we want and

when someone's getting pregnant

75

:

has our best interest in mind.

76

:

Like if, if it depends on

what our intention is on how

77

:

we're using this information.

78

:

Are we using it to make

life better for us?

79

:

Like we, how can we have, I mean,

Jerremy says this all the time,

80

:

like, how can people have poverty?

81

:

There's enough money for

everybody in the world.

82

:

There's enough food for

everybody in the world, right?

83

:

We have enough solutions

for everybody in the world.

84

:

So why is there so much?

85

:

is there so many people suffering?

86

:

Dave Conley: Oh.

87

:

Jason Sipple: a very utopic, but like

there's like, why trust the people

88

:

that have power when they're operating

from a war low vibrational standpoint,

89

:

versus how do we have more abundance?

90

:

How do we have more peace?

91

:

How do we have more

people working together?

92

:

Dave Conley: And, Jason, I, and I am

really just trying to get at this,

93

:

because what you're saying is something

we've heard over and over again, and

94

:

it feels so dark to me to say that

the only person that you can trust,

95

:

the only person responsible is you.

96

:

And no one else has any trust or any

responsibility in your communities,

97

:

because those are people too.

98

:

Your family, your communities, your

academia, the governments that you

99

:

vote in for nobody else but you.

100

:

And that is, that's tough for me to

hear is that that is where you're at.

101

:

Yeah.

102

:

Jason Sipple: Yeah.

103

:

Yeah, that, is where, that's where I'm at.

104

:

Dave Conley: God,

105

:

Jason Sipple: where I'm at because

when I, for 46 years, I trusted

106

:

the system and I was angry.

107

:

I was drinking, like you would go have

the release because you're thinking

108

:

you're doing everything right.

109

:

You feel like you're carrying

this big weight and you're

110

:

like, wait, I'm suppo as a man.

111

:

I'm supposed to provide for my family.

112

:

I'm protecting them.

113

:

I'm creating for him.

114

:

And, it just never felt

like it could be enough.

115

:

Like when you talk to someone making

$165,000 a year and they tell you,

116

:

Jason, like the dude was almost

crying in my first conversation,

117

:

first time I ever met him.

118

:

And he is like, sometimes I just

want to go hide in the closet.

119

:

Dave Conley: Hmm.

120

:

All right.

121

:

Ja, Justin, where, so what I, heard

from, you know, Jeremy's agreeing,

122

:

Jason saying, no trust, for your family.

123

:

No trust for your communities.

124

:

No trust for academia,

no trust for government.

125

:

don't rely on them for anything.

126

:

It's all on you.

127

:

So where, do you fall on that, Justin?

128

:

Justin Meyers: And can you, put

that in the question format?

129

:

Dave Conley: Yeah.

130

:

What we've heard over and over again,

is, is that when we're looking at, work,

131

:

in 2030 or work today, right, I've heard

over again from, many of the, people.

132

:

And again, today I've heard this, which is

like the only person you can trust and the

133

:

only person that you can rely on is you.

134

:

That there is no responsibility

for, government, there's no

135

:

responsibility for communities.

136

:

You cannot rely on your family.

137

:

You cannot rely on anybody else.

138

:

So it's all on you.

139

:

All of this work on ai, all the things

that are changing all of the, the,

140

:

the, the mess that we're in, that maybe

it was created by those institutions.

141

:

Maybe it was created by your communities,

but doesn't matter, it's only you.

142

:

So what do you think about that?

143

:

Justin Meyers: Yeah, so I would

lean on the side of, a green as

144

:

well because we, we could only save

ourselves at the end of the day.

145

:

No one's gonna come save us.

146

:

you could lead a horse to water,

but you can't force 'em to drink.

147

:

We have YouTube University, which trumps

any, college degree you can possibly get.

148

:

And with AI you can become an expert

almost in anything in rapid time,

149

:

faster than any time in history.

150

:

So.

151

:

With access to information and

knowledge being abundant right

152

:

now, you have the tools to be able

to really make a lot of money.

153

:

And like Jerremy said, you have to

have all these different streams of

154

:

income passive, and you don't have

all of your eggs in one basket,

155

:

especially in this evolving economy.

156

:

so I would tend to lean on the side of

you have to save yourself and then you

157

:

can help others, once you save yourself.

158

:

But it's like the analogy on the airplane.

159

:

If it's about to go down, you have to

give yourself air before you can give even

160

:

your kid air because you can't help them.

161

:

Dave Conley: Okay.

162

:

Jason Sipple: Yeah, the, I learned

that lesson becoming a lifeguard.

163

:

I'll never forget it.

164

:

I was 15 years old becoming a lifeguard,

and the guy I was supposed to be

165

:

rescuing, I was about a hundred almost.

166

:

160 pounds, maybe five,

ten, a hundred sixty.

167

:

And the guy I was rescuing

was our middle linebacker.

168

:

He weighed about 215

pounds, was like six one.

169

:

And his lesson was to

grab me and pull me down.

170

:

Right?

171

:

And you learn right away as a le

lifeguard, when your hand's on

172

:

you, if you can't save that person,

'cause they're attacking you.

173

:

You have to get off of them,

get release, and save yourself.

174

:

Because if they're gonna drag you down,

you don't want two people drowning.

175

:

Right?

176

:

Same point Justin's

making on the airplane.

177

:

You have to save yourself.

178

:

You have to take responsibility and

radical responsibility, and then action.

179

:

Like take ownership of whatever's

happening and then go forward.

180

:

Dave Conley: Okay.

181

:

Jerremy Newsome: So getting into

the lightning round, you guys

182

:

have been and listened to enough

podcasts, know how these work.

183

:

So if you could force every

parent to watch one 62nd video

184

:

about what's actually coming,

185

:

Jason Sipple: Hmm.

186

:

Jerremy Newsome: what would be the

video if you already have it, or

187

:

what would that video at least show?

188

:

Let's start with Jason first.

189

:

Jason Sipple: Oh man, I

can't defer to Justin.

190

:

I don't have a 62nd video for this, 62nd.

191

:

I've been looking how to put together

all the systems and processes

192

:

and simplify everything, man.

193

:

I want things simple like my last

name where I can just, where I can

194

:

look at it and say, Hey, how can

we teach our kids how to think?

195

:

How can we, well, how's

the 62nd video would be?

196

:

Pick where you're going.

197

:

Have your destination with your family.

198

:

Understand what you guys stand for,

what you stand against, and, know that

199

:

you can build the systems and processes

and have all the tools for whatever

200

:

you dream, and it's all possible.

201

:

So it's time to reset and

decide where you're going.

202

:

Be the captain of your own ship.

203

:

Jerremy Newsome: It is a good

62nd video for you to make, Jason.

204

:

I totally agree.

205

:

Love

206

:

Jason Sipple: go.

207

:

Jerremy Newsome: Justin,

what about you, man?

208

:

What 62nd video have you already

watched, or which one would you create?

209

:

Which one would you share with

every parent about what's coming?

210

:

Justin Meyers: So I, have a

great one that I'll go to.

211

:

It has a great quote.

212

:

It goes tough times.

213

:

Create strong men.

214

:

Strong men create easy times.

215

:

Easy times.

216

:

Create weak men.

217

:

Weak men create tough times.

218

:

you know, I walked 10 miles to school.

219

:

My son walked five.

220

:

His son drove in a Cadillac, his son.

221

:

After that, my grandson

drove into Mercedes.

222

:

his grandson will be in a Ferrari,

and then the next one will be walking.

223

:

Jerremy Newsome: It's

a powerful video, man.

224

:

Yeah, that's, that's

always stood out to me.

225

:

It's one of the reasons why I,

like, one of my ethos is always

226

:

do hard things, 'cause not to,

remind myself how easy my life is.

227

:

Because of the choices that I've made.

228

:

I choose to do the hard, things.

229

:

Like right now I'm doing six miles every

day and I'm gonna do seven miles every

230

:

day May, and then eight miles every

day in June and so on and so forth.

231

:

And I'm gonna do a 50 mile

hike on my birthday for 38.

232

:

So it's like myself that I can choose my

hard, it doesn't have to happen to me.

233

:

It can, and it did for a very, long time.

234

:

But I need, I need to shift that.

235

:

I needed to shift things happening

to me to eventually one day I'll

236

:

get to the point where things can

happen through me, I'm not there yet.

237

:

Right now, I'm still in the

point where things happen for

238

:

me and it's always a gift.

239

:

It's always beautiful.

240

:

But it does absolutely, create a,

recognition pattern that we can

241

:

ultimately, especially as parents, give

our children adversity they can handle.

242

:

And if we do that, it would start helping

and shifting that, creating tough times.

243

:

'cause life can be easy and

you can still give your kids.

244

:

These massive obstacles that

they have to overcome, that are

245

:

safe and that are okay for them.

246

:

Justin, you know a lot about this.

247

:

the gig economy liberation or a trap?

248

:

Jason Sipple: Hmm.

249

:

Justin Meyers: That's a good question.

250

:

would say.

251

:

It's not a, I think it's something

good to be useful at multiple different

252

:

things, especially if, you could build

a website for somebody in a day and

253

:

charge, you know, some money and earn

off of that and do a really good job.

254

:

Or you could set up text automations for

them and, you know, build out funnels

255

:

for them or, help with, their podcasting.

256

:

Like if you offer those four services,

it's hard to say it's a, you know, just

257

:

a gig, because you're gonna have to have

multiple streams of revenue and be able

258

:

to provide multiple value ads, especially

to businesses when they can just go use AI

259

:

to do a lot of these things on their own.

260

:

Jerremy Newsome: Yeah.

261

:

What about you, Jason?

262

:

What about the gig economy?

263

:

Trap or liberation?

264

:

Jason Sipple: Depends on your mindset.

265

:

It completely depends on your mindset.

266

:

If you, it, could be an absolute trap

if you believe doing more, working

267

:

harder, and doing that unless you

have a reason you're doing it and

268

:

you have a timeframe and a plan it,

could be either, just depends on

269

:

what side you're on that are you in a

scarce mindset or an abundant mindset?

270

:

Jerremy Newsome: Perception is reality.

271

:

I love it.

272

:

I love it.

273

:

All right.

274

:

Justin, finish this sentence.

275

:

The thing large employers know

about AI and headcount that

276

:

they'll never say publicly is.

277

:

Justin Meyers: I am gonna reduce my

head count and implement AI and robots,

278

:

and I don't tell the people yet.

279

:

Jerremy Newsome: Yeah.

280

:

Yep.

281

:

Good answer.

282

:

Good answer.

283

:

All right, Jason, your turn

to finish this sentence.

284

:

The moment most Americans realize they've

been last in line for their own money is

285

:

Jason Sipple: Is when they understand

the power of banking is when they,

286

:

when for me, it's been when somebody

gets to the point where they can't,

287

:

can't figure out a way forward, they

can't work harder, they can't make

288

:

more money in their mind, they don't

have any more resourcefulness, right?

289

:

So then they're like, okay, now I realize

that I'm last in line for my money.

290

:

When they see their pattern, Jerremy.

291

:

Jerremy Newsome: sometimes I gotta

just help someone else see it.

292

:

Yeah.

293

:

Love it gentlemen.

294

:

Thank you.

295

:

Thanks for the very fast, very quick

hour and some change discussion panel

296

:

style podcast to get two remarkable

cerebral pyromaniac to come together and

297

:

share insight and tips and information.

298

:

And I know you all already know this,

but for all of our listeners, really the

299

:

goal for me is to listen, to understand,

to get ideas and to get solutions to

300

:

challenges and problems that this country

and that the Americans of this country

301

:

are gonna go through not only today, but

in the future, and to get real world.

302

:

solutions that people can pass down,

that they can use, that they can speed

303

:

up, that they can increase, that we

can shift, and to continue to remind

304

:

myself of how important education

is and knowing how it's dramatically

305

:

Justin Meyers: There's

306

:

Jerremy Newsome: and

307

:

Justin Meyers: also.

308

:

Jerremy Newsome: life and my capabilities,

and just learning the right things

309

:

and understanding how to learn, and

understanding how to ask questions.

310

:

And Jason, you've been a big proponent

of helping me in that, so thank you.

It's on my YouTube channels, the same.

335

:

You can find me all

kinds of places, Jerremy.

336

:

Jerremy Newsome: You're, you're findable.

337

:

You're

338

:

Jason Sipple: I'm fine.

339

:

am findable.

340

:

I gave you guys my link, but you can

find our family, GPS as well helps

341

:

you create your family constitution.

342

:

So, know, depending on what you're

trying to do, reach out to me.

343

:

Jerremy Newsome: Thank you so much.

344

:

I appreciate your time.

345

:

Jason, you're the man.

346

:

Thank you Justin.

347

:

Thanks so much for your time, Dylan.

348

:

I

349

:

Jason Sipple: you guys.

350

:

Justin Meyers: Have a good day.

351

:

Bye.

352

:

Jerremy Newsome: Well, I mean, shout

outs to, I like shout outs to Justin

353

:

being quick, being fast, being succinct.

354

:

I'm always working on brevity and he's

young man, I mean young, mid twenties

355

:

entrepreneur doing things, which is cool.

356

:

So it is good to see that there's, I

mean, just randomly met 'em in Vegas.

357

:

It's nice to.

358

:

I guess be comforted and and aware that

the young generation, whatever that

359

:

generation's called, the 25 year olds of

the world are doing things or grinding

360

:

things or understanding or building, are

aware that there's, there is a giant tidal

361

:

wave of change and opportunity coming

362

:

Dave Conley: Yeah.

363

:

Jerremy Newsome: and.

364

:

I love what Jason said about,

it's all, it, it is all mindset.

365

:

in a big, way.

366

:

It's an understanding, the knowing

and a reckoning and awareness of

367

:

where, why, when, how, and most

specifically, the how, right?

368

:

Because the win can be

tomorrow, it can be today.

369

:

It's not gonna be one

day, it should be Monday.

370

:

It shouldn't be Sunday.

371

:

It should be Sunday.

372

:

That's, that's the awareness

and to shift into that.

373

:

I also am on the caliber.

374

:

I would love for government

agencies to do more to help.

375

:

but I don't trust in that power

to actually create a meaningful

376

:

assistance for a large group of

individuals, at least right now.

377

:

that's sustainable.

378

:

So interesting that we have

the UBI conversation coming up.

379

:

Dude, that's gonna be really.

380

:

Really fun for me.

381

:

I'm super jacked about that.

382

:

and yeah, man, I also learned

that we, we are right.

383

:

There's so many people that we interviewed

where the deal that they received that

384

:

they went into knowingly did not work.

385

:

And it's people from all ages,

all backgrounds, all religious

386

:

beliefs all over the country.

387

:

Dave Conley: Yeah.

388

:

Jerremy Newsome: They're like, no, bro.

389

:

It changed.

390

:

It massively changed, and

there's a lot more that we have

391

:

to do, and there's a lot more.

392

:

That is, it is happening to us

presently, and we need as a nation

393

:

and a community and an online tribe

to start shifting it into the, it

394

:

is happening more for us as well.

395

:

Dave Conley: Hmm.

396

:

Hmm.

397

:

Jerremy Newsome: What'd you learn DC.

398

:

Dave Conley: I love that we have so

many conversations about choice, right?

399

:

torked my glasses earlier this

morning, and so I walked over to

400

:

the, eyeglass place, which is just

down the street, and I'm like.

401

:

Help me, here.

402

:

I need to, see, like fix this.

403

:

But as I was, waiting there,

there was this, young guy and,

404

:

had a, few, friends with him and

he was, not nice to the people.

405

:

I mean like really not nice.

406

:

Jerremy Newsome: Mm-hmm.

407

:

Dave Conley: He was like, wear my glasses.

408

:

I did this two weeks ago and.

409

:

the woman was, was kind and said, Hey,

like we're coming with UPS, and he kept

410

:

going and I, started laughing and the,

kid shot me a dirty look and, left.

411

:

I, looked at the, woman and I'm

like, man, I think one, I think

412

:

everybody should be in a service

job, like I waited tables and,

413

:

Jerremy Newsome: dude.

414

:

Mandatory.

415

:

Dave Conley: You, you have to,

I mean, that and or military

416

:

service or both of them.

417

:

Like you, you gotta go and do this.

418

:

And she said, well, he's

a, like a bajillionaire.

419

:

He, he might, he made all this

money on, crypto and he's like,

420

:

18 years old, you can look him up.

421

:

And said, well, he's, he's choosing to, be

a, real ass and, And be because of that.

422

:

like it, the, UPS guy happened to

come in like 10 minutes later and they

423

:

were looking at me and I'm like, oh,

you're not gonna call him, are you?

424

:

And they're like, Hmm, we, have some

testing to do on this, eyeglasses.

425

:

It might be a couple of

days for us to get this.

426

:

And if he'd just been.

427

:

The slightest bit kind.

428

:

They would've been all, you know, you

would help, out anybody who was just

429

:

like the slightest bit kind to you.

430

:

And I'm like, man.

431

:

And he had friends with him, and

his friends weren't calling him out

432

:

saying, man, you're being an asshole.

433

:

And I'm like, well, they're,

they're not friends then.

434

:

like it's, and it's all about

choices and he's choosing to, bring

435

:

a little bit of pain to the world.

436

:

So I, hear that over and over again.

437

:

I heard it, I hear it from you.

438

:

I hear it from, uh, Jason and Justin.

439

:

It's like, these are, all choices.

440

:

There are a lot of things coming our

direction, and it's going to be on you,

441

:

on how you're going to, experience that.

442

:

You can experience it as a, positive

thing or you can experience it as a

443

:

negative thing, and there's so many

opportunities and, you can reframe

444

:

your brain on, a lot of this and.

445

:

Jerremy Newsome: Yeah.

446

:

Dave Conley: The other thing I learned is

that I feel like I'm in a real minority,

447

:

and can't wrap my head around it because

it feels so dark and so bleak to say no.

448

:

Your community, your family, your,

your, schools, your governments, they.

449

:

They are not only off the hook, you

can't trust them and don't give them any

450

:

responsibility because they're terrible.

451

:

And I'm like, whoa, that is, that

feels so dark and so bleak to me

452

:

because I know that if the moment,

the moment I'm in crisis, there

453

:

are like four phone calls that I'm

going to immediately make for texts.

454

:

That are gonna go out.

455

:

It's gonna go out to my family, it's

gonna go out to you, it's gonna go out

456

:

to Robin, it's gonna go out to my sister,

and it's gonna go out to my brother Joe.

457

:

Those are the four people.

458

:

I mean, that moment, like when crisis hits

459

:

Jerremy Newsome: Yeah.

460

:

Dave Conley: it feels

like that so many people.

461

:

The people today are saying, yeah,

don't trust that it's really on you.

462

:

And that just feels dark to me,

and I, don't, I don't know what

463

:

to do with that yet because that

feels almost like the crisis that

464

:

I would be calling you guys about.

465

:

Jerremy Newsome: Well, I'll say

this, I think, and again, it could

466

:

be maybe a definition of community.

467

:

I kinda feel like that's more family or

friend circles to rely on for assistance

468

:

or help versus, connection, or love versus

like giving the government the ability to.

469

:

Provide and take care

of people's wellbeing.

470

:

I mean, like, just take the va, like as

like a microcosm of like, Hey, you should

471

:

be taking care of all these people that

you forced and you caused them to go to.

472

:

They didn't like, yeah, let's go to war.

473

:

Let's go blow some people up and shoot.

474

:

Some people they didn't wanna do that,

like training and protecting and like.

475

:

Forging or something like that's one

thing, but like going to war all the

476

:

time and then just letting 'em hang

out there and, giving 'em a system

477

:

that does kind of work, but also kind

of not, but sometimes, not really.

478

:

It depends on who you ask,

maybe does, maybe doesn't.

479

:

I think it's just a microcosm of

the unfortunate truth where the

480

:

big, players of this country.

481

:

I don't think they care as

much as they want people.

482

:

People might think they do, and I also

just haven't maybe again, personally

483

:

ever been quote unquote embraced

by a community of like individuals.

484

:

In the space that I've lived in,

maybe my community of people that

485

:

I connect with and people that I

love and care about, absolutely.

486

:

But just the general individuals.

487

:

Like random example here at our

house, we've sent out cookies and

488

:

presents and prizes and like just

things around to the neighbors.

489

:

We're the only ones dude, and they're

like, like, Hey, you wanna come

490

:

over to our house and like hang out?

491

:

It's like we're the only ones doing that.

492

:

No one else is doing that.

493

:

It's like where, where does the, where

does the care for the physical community

494

:

that that's probably a good term for it.

495

:

Physical community.

496

:

Like where does that lay and where did

that go and where did that leave us?

497

:

'cause now if you have like a block party

or a end of the road culdesac party,

498

:

Dave Conley: Yeah.

499

:

Jerremy Newsome: everyone's

on their phones anyway.

500

:

It's maybe an hour.

501

:

You.

502

:

Everyone has to get drunk

to talk to each other.

503

:

Everyone's busy.

504

:

it's just, it's weird.

505

:

But that's the thing is like

it, if you think about it, it's

506

:

not happening like it does.

507

:

I mean, does it happen in your building?

508

:

Like did your building get

together and party a bunch and

509

:

hang out and have good events?

510

:

Dave Conley: I mean, like, a little

bit, but that's, that's partially on me.

511

:

like my, sister's here and she's

already made like four or five friends

512

:

and she's found like great folks here.

513

:

Jerremy Newsome: Yeah.

514

:

Dave Conley: and, that's, that's on me

not being a social and she's a, woman.

515

:

And, like I, have different

social skills, so I, yes.

516

:

And.

517

:

Like, it just makes my

heart hurt a little bit.

518

:

Like it feels dark, like it's a

little bit of a darkening of a soul.

519

:

And I, didn't want to

think that it was that bad.

520

:

And I'm like, oh God.

521

:

And, you, you know me for years now,

and like, I feel like I can be, I can

522

:

sound like a Debbie Downer, like when

we're talking about like, oh my God, the

523

:

economy, or oh my God, like the craziness

of the administration or, oh my God, so I.

524

:

I believe all of those things.

525

:

But I also believe in, sort of

the greater angels, I believe that

526

:

there's more good people than bad.

527

:

And I know that when people get in

community, and I know when people

528

:

get into corporations and academia,

I know they can look like they act

529

:

weird, but I also know that magic can

happen out of all of those things too.

530

:

I know that there are magic, there's

more good that happens out of

531

:

governments and communities and,

and, academia and, your, the schools.

532

:

groups.

533

:

I know that there, I want to, okay, I

want to believe that there's more good

534

:

Jerremy Newsome: Yeah.

535

:

Dave Conley: bad and.

536

:

I, and I know that that's, that's why

I believe in, you and your work and

537

:

how we wanna change the world in this

because it, does need that change.

538

:

And it's going to happen through

government and community and people,

539

:

because we're made up of these

540

:

Jerremy Newsome: Yeah, totally.

541

:

Dave Conley: if you get enough good in

the stew, then, like, it doesn't matter.

542

:

like the, bad, bad that's in

there, there's going to, like,

543

:

it's gonna, taste pretty good.

544

:

I,

545

:

Jerremy Newsome: Yep.

546

:

Dave Conley: I'm.

547

:

it's just, it's, I'm

gonna, I'm gonna learn

548

:

Jerremy Newsome: I don't think they,

549

:

Dave Conley: do UPI.

550

:

Jerremy Newsome: bro.

551

:

I was about to say Hoby.

552

:
