Time Person Of The Year Is WHO!?! | Military Drones Flying Around USA | The Biz To Biz Podcast

You are now watching the Biz to Biz Podcast with Allen and Justin. Yo, what's up everybody? It's Justin live from B2B Vault, the Biz to Biz Podcast sponsored by Nationwide Payment Systems, hosted by this guy, the Steve Largent of payment processing himself, Allen Kopelman. What's up, buddy?

Oh, Steve Largent, good, uh, wide receiver. This is why I don't see the Hawks.

Yeah, he was actually one of my favorites growing up. Yeah, he was exciting to watch. That was off the top of the dome. I forgot who we said that fast. Short-term memory loss.

All right.

I fell a lot on my head when I was a kid. I don't know what the fuck she was saying. How are you doing, man?

I'm doing great.

Episode 297, by the way, if you guys are keeping track. I'm kind of excited for episode 300. I don't know. I was listening to a podcast. Earlier this morning, and there was an interesting statistic that most people who start podcasts stop at episode 21, and the majority stop at episode 6.

Oh yeah, a lot of people start podcasts. I mean, one of the things that, you know, and I've said this before in the podcast, one of the people who inspired me is that guy Noah Kagan from AppSumo, whatever. Because he said if you're going to do a podcast or you're going to start making videos, you got to commit to 100, and the first 100 are probably not going to be great. I agree. And they're going to get better over time, and you're going to figure stuff out.

It's funny because the podcast isn't even like the podcast what the podcast was about.

Exactly.

It's like we need to rename it.

Well, we could after episode 300. Maybe there was a rebranding coming. I don't know.

Quite possible. But I mean, because we don't really, you know, it's not the payment processing podcast or whatever you wanted it to be, right?

Yeah.

The merchant industry podcast, you know, for business owners. Yeah. I think it's still business related, but we talk about business stuff that's in the news, right? Um, so I don't know, it's just some ideas that—

well, we'll have to think about it.

Yeah, definitely got to change the intro because we're not live.

It sounds cool. Yeah, so time—

being cool and sounds cool is two different things.

So Time magazine, right, this week— I know not your— Justin's exact favorite person But Donald Trump, the president-elect, was named—

the cheater—

was named the Time Person of the Year for the second time.

Who voted?

Who?

What people voted for that?

I don't know who votes.

What's some bullshit?

Time magazine.

Yeah, they're all a bunch of mega Trumpers.

Okay. And then I don't know about that. And then he rang the bell this morning at the New York Stock Exchange.

Right up his alley. They're all right in his damn pocket anyway.

And he had his whole crew there.

They're all holding, they're like pocket pals. They're just holding hands with each other, you know, circle jerking each other.

And then my other favorite person, one of my favorites, Caitlin Clark, was named the athlete of the year for Time magazine.

You know, I respect Caitlin Clark because she said, did you see what I sent you?

Yes.

So I respect the shit outta her for saying like the only reason that she's getting all this shit is because of her being white. And that is all the shit that I talk about. And your white ass never likes to admit the fact that white privilege is so real.

Like, I don't say it's not real, but I say I don't think people are held back.

How is having privilege not holding people back? Listen, that makes no sense. I digress. We're going to move forward. But Caitlin Clark, shout out to her for saying that shit on a national platform. And I guarantee all those white people faces turned red when she said that. No, she—

and what she's doing for women's sports. Is amazing.

But her point is that she ain't did shit for women's sports. The people before her, the Black women who started the WNBA and who put their lives on the line and who have not made any kinds of dollars, don't have any sponsorships, barely can afford their rent. And yet she's getting millions of dollars in sponsorships. That is the white privilege that I speak about and that she's admitting to.

Okay.

And she's saying that the Black women that before her need that representation and that respect given to them. That's what she was saying in that statement. And shout out to her.

And a lot of the players in college right now, white players and Black players, okay, are all taking advantage of NIL. You have Juju Watkins. You have Flau'jae Johnson.

Huh?

It's got nothing to do with the NBA. Yeah, they're going to go to the WNBA. Yeah, that's cool. And then Caitlin Clark started with NIL money too. That's good.

I mean, as good as that they're getting them opportunities, but I think that the women from, like, I can't remember all those, the old school women.

Lisa Leslie.

Yeah, her, those, you know, hoops. Yeah. You know, those people like—

Tiki catchings.

Like those people, like you don't hear about them and you know what I'm saying? And they're like legends and shit. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

Like, and they're broke. It's sad.

It is sad.

You know what I'm saying? Like they literally put their whole careers, they could have, you know, they could have went and had careers at whatever they went to school for. But yet they, you know, they decided to put their chances on this league and to try to grow this league into what it is today. And yet they're just sitting around, you know, it sucks. It sucks to watch, you know what I'm saying? It's like watching that guy. Did you see that guy who confronted Brett Favre about the sack that he gave Strahan? Strahan?

Yeah, I saw in the airport.

Right.

Yeah.

I felt so bad for that guy. But you know, then Brett Favre was saying like, yo, it was the fourth quarter. I was gonna run the ball. And then here's Mike standing there. I'm not about to run into Mike Strahan. So I took the, you know, I fell. Right. Like, yeah, I wanted him to have that last sack. But, you know, it's just sad. You know, like you see these older guys from the older generations. I mean, they didn't get the same opportunities. They don't have the same opportunities.

That's true.

So now today, you know, they're kind of just left out to dry and that shit sucks because they're washed. You know, a lot of them, they don't have like, they're not the faces for TV. They can't be in commercials. You know, they're not the community, you know, those standup guys, you know, a lot of those guys are rough around the edges and shit, you know, but.

Yeah, but you look at all the play, like, you know, I started watching football like in, you know, the late '60s, early 1970s, okay? So like the Miami Dolphins, '72 Miami Dolphins, there's not a lot of them that, that there's probably hardly any of them that made any kind of money. All those guys.

All those guys.

Right.

From the '80s, early '80s, from the '70s, early '80s, all the way up to the late '80s. That's when shit started changing. You know what I mean?

Yeah.

And speaking of the NFL, I was reading the Philadelphia Eagles are the most valuable team in the NFL, worth $8.3 billion.

Why?

That's because last, whatever last year they made it so private equity firms can invest in the NFL teams.

Oh, okay.

The Dolphins just sold like 13% to some investment group and so did the Buffalo Bills. So.

Interesting.

Yeah, it's crazy, you know what I mean?

I mean, prices for games is outta control. I mean, unless you wanna be in the nosebleed, it's $200, $300 for a seat.

When me and my dad went to that Packers game, That shit, bro, it was so messed up because you were literally watching the tickets change, the prices change. It was messed up. It's just messed up the way it is.

Well, the whole thing with Ticketmaster, I don't agree with it. Like, so I was reading— I was reading this thing. So it says like they do a presale, right? So they say, oh, the presale is going to be Thursday at 10 a.m., right? So obviously people want to get logged in before 10 a.m., right? Get in the line. So as soon as they start the line, which I don't know how that works, an hour, 30 or 40 minutes before, right, that they can see, oh, we have— I don't know how many people fit in the Hard Rock, let's say 8,000, right? So they can see how many people are online waiting to get tickets and how many tickets they have available, and then they change the price. And I just don't agree with that. I think like the artist should say, you know, this is how much I want to sell my ticket for. Like Kid Rock does that. His tickets are like $50.

Yeah, I mean, but not everybody has that star power, that privilege.

I don't know. I'm just saying it's that he doesn't go with Ticketmaster.

Not everyone has that privilege, bro.

No, I understand that, but I can't—

you can't even— how do you even go around Ticketmaster? What does that cost him? What's the infrastructure cost him to do that?

Probably can't go to certain venues.

Exactly. So then he's losing out on money. He's got to create new revenue streams. And that's, you know, that's privilege anyway.

He's already loaded. So that's beyond the—

and, you know, ticket pricing in sports and concerts is insane in general. But yeah, Nike also on the NFL train. NFL, Nike agreed to a 10-year uniform deal. That was pretty interesting. Oh, I can't believe that Nike has the NBA, the NFL, and the MLB. Do they have hockey too? So they have like all four main like sports.

Yeah.

Uniform.

And do they have the soccer?

No, Adidas has soccer, right?

Yeah, Adidas does soccer. I mean, it's all over the place.

I mean, selling like uniform, the official uniform. Is it a— I don't. I think it's Nike too. It's Nike, Adidas and Nike for Umbro. Yeah, Umbro for— okay, that makes sense because they've always been the soccer shit, the soccer uniform go-to.

But it's just like, you know, just like you— like your suit, just like if you want to sell stuff with logos of the teams on there, everything has to be licensed by the NFL. So there's only certain places, like you were saying, where you buy baseball hats that they're real baseball hats and not fake ones.

Right.

You know?

Yeah, it's weird. Like I was on that, you know, like I was a part of that one hat club, you know? And I was noticing like the quality of the hats were like real shitty. You know what I mean? Like I know they're, you know, it used to be all 100% wool or 100% cotton.

Yeah, they were like wool was the big.

Back in the day, when I was a kid, that's how I was 100% cool.

Those were the good hats.

I mean, your head would be sweating during the summertime, but that's what it was. But then they started, then they went to cotton. But now it's like, this hat right here is 100% cotton and it's $50. It's crazy, right? So I mean, I was a part of that club and I just, the back, you know, like it's, what's that called when it puffs out?

I don't know what that is.

With the embroidery, the way that, whatever. You could tell like it's, there's something, you know, like the embroidery pops out on the back.

Yeah, like these are in my official— on those hats, team apparel, right?

You know? Yeah, but the, the hat that I was getting from the Hat Club, this wasn't popping out and it was just like sewed into the back. And I was like, this is some cheap shit. And then I went to— and then I went to Lids and I seen that all of them were like that, but unless they were like Coopertown Collection. So it's just really strange what they're doing.

Embroidered hats, like this one's embroidered also.

Yeah, but there's a specific term for when it pops off of the hat.

3D looking.

Some shit like that. Inflation rose October to November to December. Man, I don't know.

I mean, yeah, gas prices are definitely up.

Yeah, it cost me $31 to fill up and I was at half a tank.

And here's some shit. Hurt.

Here's something like, oh, just throw it. I'm like, at half a tank, you know, be like a dub or something.

Nah. Here's something crazy. Amazon is selling plane tickets for like $25.

No thanks.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, they put like, I don't know, 1,000 or 10,000 of them on sale, but you have to be between the ages of like 18 and 28 or something to buy the tickets. And they're $25.

That sounds terrifying.

To go anywhere in the US.

That sounds terrifying.

I don't even know what airline it's good for. Or multiple airlines.

JetBlue just said that they're going high luxury. They're gonna try to like— they're not trying, they're gonna eliminate all the shitty routes. Oh, like, like the low-performing routes that they offer, and then, uh, upgrade all their planes to like high-end first class shit. Makes sense. I mean, quantity over, uh, quality over quantity was what they were saying.

Well, listen, when you— a lot of air— I mean, like Spirit, they have like 4 seats that are big.

That's it.

Everything else is smushed in like a— or Southwest, everything's smushed unless you're getting in.

My dad, me and my dad always sit up there every time when we fly Spirit. That shit's hilarious.

What, you sit up there?

Yeah, I mean, my dad's a big guy.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

So he's not sitting in that little— Spirit is tight.

Southwest can be tight too.

Southwest can be tight. Back in the day, it didn't used to be like that.

It used to be pretty smooth and it got tighter. And the other thing is like, you know, unless you get into emergency row sometimes, Delta has like—

I always go, I'll pop in there, no problem. Where? By the door.

Yeah.

You get like a whole little section. Yeah. It's the shit.

Emergency row is the way to go. Uh, also, you know, you just pay extra so you can get on the planes in the beginning so you can get back there.

Ah, to the emergency room.

Yeah, you pay for the little, uh—

did we talk about Luigi?

Not really. There's a lot of stuff coming out about this Luigi guy. It's out of control.

I don't believe it. I don't believe— I don't believe that that's the same guy. You think they don't look the same? The guy who was the shooter looks like frail and like petite. The guy that they showed, he's got like a jawline and he's in shape and shit. Like, it just don't look like the same guy.

I don't know, some of the pictures I saw, people were like commenting, oh, look here, it looks like the guy.

The one guy had a unibrow. It was like he had a unibrow for sure.

Okay, so, well, they said he definitely changed his appearance after the shooting. They say that. They say he tried to change his appearance. I don't know.

The backpack that— there was two different colored backpacks. One was black, one was gray.

Let's say he just left a trail. He made them think he went to put Monopoly money inside of the backpack. I know, but they said—

That's bullshit. I don't believe none of this.

They said he— first they said he got— he went, he was going— they were tracking him to Atlanta.

How were they tracking him?

I don't know. But through the cameras and everything.

Through a camera? That means they're on his ass. How is he even making it to McDonald's?

I don't know. And then he ends up in Pennsylvania.

That's what I'm saying, bro. Like, it just doesn't make sense. None of it.

But how did they say he went to Atlanta?

And you're saying that this Ivy League guy is trained at firearms to the point when it's jamming on him, right? Like, I'm not saying I'm some professional shooter. Right. But my dad has taken me to the range several times.

Right.

And when a gun jams, right? Right. You know, it's not— if you don't know what to do, bro, like, you're like—

it's not that easy.

Yeah. So, you know, it jams, you play with the chamber a little bit. But he played with it, banged on it, cocked it again, and then shot him. To me, that doesn't look like some guy from the Ivy League schools. I don't know. Like, again, I'm not a trained assassin.

I was reading like a whole story about it.

I don't believe none of this shit.

No, so I was reading a story about it, right?

Right?

So they said that—

About his mom?

No, about him, like where he's been. So they said he—

Do you see why he did this because of his mom?

No, they say he did it because of him.

No, they said that in the manifesto, the way that it's read, he watched his mom suffer for years because she had some shit wrong with her spine and he would watch her crawl upstairs, get denied therapy, get denied different treatments through UnitedHealthcare. And finally he said, fuck it.

Well, they also said—

Enough's enough.

They also said he was living in Hawaii and he injured his back and had an operation. Yeah, I heard that. I don't even know what's the truth and what's not the truth.

This is why the media can't be trusted. Like, I don't trust nothing in the media. I really don't, man. I can't. I don't. To me, that's two totally different people.

The guy— is it a Lee Harvey Oswald situation?

I don't know. I was too— I don't even know much about— I never really studied Lee Harvey Oswald. Well, all I know is that he was the shooter of JFK, right?

From the, from the book, the multiple shooters, possibly.

And there's no way in hell that he was the shooter because the guy in the front seat is the guy that blew JFK's brains out.

Well, we Nobody knows. I mean, obviously RFK wants, uh, Trump to release all the info.

If you watch the video of the JFK thing really slow-mo, you see his wife screaming like out of her mind before JFK even gets blown, like his head gets popped off. So the, the, the, the, the theory is, is that she's seen the guy turn around with the gun to blow our JFK's head off. So But anyway, man, I don't want to get droned. I'm like, seriously, I'm just here.

All those drones are in this. All jokes. Think about those.

This is all jokes. This is nothing. Do not— we are not— we're not trained professionals. We are just here to tell you, you know, what we think. Yes. Just— but do you see all these drones indicting ourselves?

No, but do you see all these drones like in New Jersey? They're tracking like all these drones all over the place up in New Jersey, and they're questioning all these guys. They're questioning the governor of New Jersey. They're questioning the police, the FBI, the CIA, the military. And how can these drones— they're flying all around. They said they got 20, 30 of them in a formation flying around. They say some of them are as big as a school bus. Some of them are the size of an SUV. They're flying around over infrastructure, flying over Trump's golf course up there, Bedminster, flying over power plants, flying over nuclear plants, flying over government buildings. They're letting it happen. Apparently it's been going on for like 30 days now.

Whose are they?

They don't— nobody wants to admit it. One guy came out and said that there's some ship off the coast of the United States in international waters, and at night they're launching all these drones. And then there was another bunch of drones following the Coast Guard cutter out in the ocean. And I'm like, why aren't we shooting these things down, man?

Do you see the drone that I sent you? The one that it's got live ballistics? Yeah.

Yeah, we were watching that on the—

Oh, yeah, the podcast. Yeah, that was—

That's crazy, man. So, but I'm just saying, how can they just let these drones being flying all over the place? In one case, they were— the police were saying, oh, we had a helicopter We got above the drones and then nobody would let us do anything. So we just had to sit there. But I'm saying, if you see the drones, right, you would think, okay, we can follow the drones and see where they go. They're not doing anything. You can't— it's like the weirdest thing, huh?

I mean, you can't really follow the drone.

Why not?

Because the person would just let the drone fall out the sky.

Why would—

why would the— why would the guy operating the drone let you follow the drone back to him?

I don't know. I'm just saying, like, if you were—

if there's Gotta be some sort of like—

they can't find it on radar.

What is it?

We don't have tracking.

Psyop intelligence where, you know, they drone the drone drones the drone. I'm sure that's happening too.

So like, I mean, it's just kind of weird, like all of a sudden there's all these drones everywhere. It's— I don't understand what's going on with that. How it's being—

why are they coming at like all the idols? Like they— now Jay-Z's in the, in the The R.A.P.E. I'm not— I don't— I can't even deal with it, bro. Like, the fact that they're now bringing Jay-Z into the Diddy case is just beyond me, man.

And also with that UnitedHealthcare thing, supposedly the guy from UnitedHealthcare was supposed to make a speech in front of Congress implicating something with Nancy Pelosi.

You're talking about the CEO?

Yeah, the guy that got shot.

He was being investigated by the DOJ.

Right, but he was supposed to test the plot thickens, right?

And then now Jay-Z's being accused of rape.

Come on, it's all— that's a— that's all there— it's all this news is out there to like divert us from looking at whatever.

Yeah, there's something else that's really happening that we probably should be like really like—

like they don't want us thinking about trying to figure out what that is. They don't want us looking at the drones, so they're occupying our minds with Jay-Z The drones is light work.

There's something else. There's something else.

Word.

I mean, there's the fires in Malibu that are— that's crazy. There's a lot of shit happening, actually, but I don't know. So yeah, they're saying— man, Jay-Z's like one of my favorite rappers, bro. I love Jay-Z, man. No Diddy. So like the fact that they're like trying to bring him and implicate him in this lawsuit is just stupid. Like, they said that the woman was 13 years old at the time and that Jay-Z and Sean Puff Combs was at the VMAs and the little girl bumped into Jay-Z's limo driver and the limo driver said to her that she could come with them to an afterparty. Now, I don't know Jay-Z.

Yeah.

Right? But I like to say that I come from a similar background, right? Okay. You know what I mean? Like, and one thing is that we, like he said, he made a statement. And the first thing I would say is like, we protect children at all costs. Right? And I'm a girl dad, right? So he's a girl dad too. And just to think that like, I couldn't— I could, you know, and I'm all for victims, right? Like, stand for victims. But this shit just seems ridiculous.

Well, there's a lot of stuff that's come out like that, you know, this whole MeToo thing.

And all of a sudden, you know, it's ever since New York released that, you know, there's no statute of limitations on rape, right? Which is, you know, that's good for the real victims, but for like those ambulance chasers and, you know what I mean, like those guys That sucks because then they're just, you know, they're just shot in a prayer, you know what I mean? Like, oh yeah, I heard, uh, Fat Joe touched you wrong when you were in the studio with him, you know what I mean? Like, what?

Yeah, but how are they gonna— they can't— the most of the—

okay, that's why it's a money grab. And that's why Jay-Z said, if this was really a thing, how come aren't you— how— why is this a civil lawsuit and not a criminal case?

Because they want money.

That's all they wanted. Because 2 months, 3 months ago or some Jay-Z filed a lawsuit against the same attorney because apparently that attorney had approached Jay-Z's attorney and said, "Hey, pay this money and Jay-Z will never be mentioned at all." Right. So it's been a money grab from the jump. You know what I mean?

Crazy.

It's sad because Jay-Z's got a young daughter, you know what I mean? And he's got to explain that. Now his young daughter has to go to school and say, oh, your dad's a rapist, your dad's a rapist.

That's the problem. That's the problem with social media and the 24-hour news cycle. Media.

Yeah, you speak of the social media, remember I said that social media needs to get turned off, right? Florida just passed a law that anyone under the age of 14 can't have a social media account.

Really?

Wow, that's great. But my question is, how the hell are they going to enforce that? Because you have to be 18 years old to be on the social media accounts anyways, and all these kids is lying their asses off in the first place to get to get the damn— you know what I've said? I think what it really starts with is the G— is the email accounts, right? There has to be an email verification process for age.

We've talked about this.

Once you— once you establish the age on— once— so like these kids, right, they get an email address at school, right? Okay, that should be the only email address they can have, right? They can't sign up to Gmail because it's not through their school, right? You know what I'm saying? Or if they have a personal email address, it has to be something, and has to be a verification process so that— so Google or, uh, Microsoft knows the age in this person. That would stop fraud, spam, phishing, a lot. I mean, phishing probably not, but I mean, it would slow down a lot of stuff. But verifying an age for your email would prevent them from being able to sign up to these social media platforms in the first place. Because that's, that's all it is.

Listen, it costs us for credit card processing about a dollar to verify someone's identity.

Exactly.

So there's no reason why, you know, micro— you can't have a system where like, oh, every email— because then it would say like, oh, every email you have, you need to go, you have to have some kind of account, whatever they're going to tie it to. Clear, you got ID.me, There's, you know, those are, you know, the ID.me, that covers your IRS and a whole bunch of stuff. Clear covers you for the airport. You also have the, what's that other full thing for flying? It's Clear. No, not Clear, the TSA.

Oh, PreCheck.

So if you have the, if you use these things that exist already, and then you say, oh, well, to have an email address, you need to have this. And then there's a checkmark And then you can configure your email account. I mean, we have— we were looking at yesterday, that's quarantine spam thing. There's this— it's a constant flow all day long of stuff going in there. And then those email addresses are verified and checked off and all that. People are trying to spoof QuickBooks, DocuSign, WordPress, Wordfence, GoDaddy. I mean, they're trying to spoof all these things.

Yeah, I mean, that's, that's Yeah, I really think that it starts with the email.

Yeah. One company that I showed you an email, remember? Yeah. And it was from this company and I was like, I don't even know this person. I sent it to them and yes, somebody compromised their email server and started sending out emails.

Of course. I mean, that's, that's all over the place right now.

And, you know, or these text messages.

Do you think, you think that's a good idea?

Yeah, I think you got to have certified I think—

I'm saying the state of Florida.

Well, I think it's a good idea that kids—

how are they going to implement that?

I have no idea how they're going to implement it. I mean, how can they prevent it? On the phone, you're going to have to verify. I think people should have to verify their phone number too. It would stop all the BS. I mean, dude, I probably get 10 calls a day of just—

my phone has been ringing this whole time during the podcast.

Okay, like the whole time, of just fake stuff.

Yeah. Oh, you want to buy medication?

Oh, this is the federal government calling. You owe money to the IRS.

We have naked picture.

We have a warrant out for your arrest. Yeah, I have naked pictures of you.

We have 2 kilos of cocaine, your Social Security number, a pistol inside of a car in Indiana on the road. I literally, my mom got a phone call like that. No bullshit. Word is bond. Like she said, we, the car, The guy on the phone was like, yo, we found your Cadillac on the car on the side of the road. There's cocaine in the car. We have your identification. You need to blah, blah, blah. My mom was like, what?

Oh yeah, my mom gets calls like that too. But it's always your grandson's in jail.

Oh, that's a good one.

She gets those all the time.

My mom would be like, I don't have any grandsons, you jackass.

My mom just puts the phone down and lets them talk, and then she walks around the house, comes back and hangs up the phone.

That's, that's good.

No, but it's all got to stop, and it's, and it's easy to fix, but they just don't want to do it.

For what? I think it would be a— I think it's a lot easier than, you know, I mean, logistically it would require like a major shutdown, like, like everyone would be cut off, but then reboot the system, you know, everybody, everybody, 30 days, everyone has to recharge, set their password.
