I’m thinking of starting my own podcast. The theme is Keeping It Real with my thoughts and my take on people’s problems. For example, I saw a SEAL’s podcast where he gave shitty advice to a regular citizen on how to handle a gang on a city bus. How the fuck would he know? Warrior, yes, street crime, no.
The advice would be from my perspective, take it or leave it. It would definitely be a point of view you usually don’t hear, Marines, Green Berets, 25 years in Max custody after college. Real advice, not the licensed politically correct bullshit from someone who’s never been there.
What got me thinking about this was I was talking with a very smart 40 year old female friend about a guy who wrote to an online magazine for advice. He was married 25 years, after his wife had kids the sex stopped, zero, nada. She actually told him, “That part of my life is over.” Then she caught and ridiculed him for masturbating. He started to get massages to relax and discovered a few women who would give him happy endings. He rotates between them for release. Should he tell his wife and discuss, or feel guilty? FUCK NO!
My female friend says I should start a podcast. With real life advice from my perspective, obviously way different than what anyone else will tell you. The advice the married guy got from the magazine was to tell his wife. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! She already ridiculed him. Fuck that. My initial thought was that she made her feelings clear, no sex ever again at all. That plus the ridicule, I’d advise a divorce. But he wanted to stay married for the kids & somehow likes her otherwise (ok?), so stay married, get the rub & tugs and don’t tell. If she finds out, deal with it then. Life is short.
Now, obviously, not everyone agrees on everything, especially with where I’m coming from. But think of it as simply another perspective. For example, since I had two hard corps Angels as friends in prison, just for fun, I sometimes ask myself, “What would a Hell’s Angel do in this situation?”
I had a gas station clerk I chatted with once a week smart off to me one time. He was being a real asshole. Could I take him one on one? Of course. But, what would a Hell’s Angel do? He’d go get two more Angels, come back, jump over the counter and stomp the fuck outta this guy.
Would that be appropriate? Well, in some ways, yes, the guy is a little fucking pussy who never learned to mind his manners. It’s all on a spectrum. Usually (outside of prison, if you get my drift) I would never react the way an Angel would. They are crazy violent.
But it’s good to have another perspective to make your own decision. So what did I do? Well, I let the guy know his behavior was unacceptable in no uncertain terms and terminated the relationship, changed gas stations. Anything else would have led to the cops having a field day. Fortunately for everyone, the guy really was a complete pussy & didn’t do anything after that which required a response. By the way, remember that cop who falsely arrested me saying I threatened her? After I was acquitted I sued her. It’s looking good! Best guess is a win & $250K. Totally legit, that’s the best way to fuck ’em.
The gang in the bus? The SEAL’s advice to the citizen was, when they look at him, to acknowledge, then read a paper. If they want to talk, say he’s just going home. Fuck no! That advice will get you jacked up quick. When five gang members are staring at you on public transportation after midnite you are about to get fucked up. Any small talk is them sizing you up before they pounce.
The SEAL did say to plan your way home if you know it’s going to be late, take an Uber, that was good advice. But, if you get approached by a gang, here’s my advice: You’ve been listening to me from the beginning and already have a permit & a 1911. So you stick it in the leader’s face with no hesitation and get off the bus.
If you aren’t smart and don’t have a gun with you at all times, well then, it’s going to be tough. The only thing gang members understand is fear. You literally have to scare the fuck out of them. They are predators, they can tell if you got what it takes.
Option B: You already listened to me and studied Jiu Jitsu or Kung Fu. So you fuck up the leader in 1 second in such a horrifying way that no one else even wants to think about fucking with you. Then you get off the bus. Getting a permit & a 1911 sounds easy now, doesn’t it?
Remember, I said this is all just for perspective. You can do whatever you want. And less than 1% of anyone who reads this will ever prepare themselves for anything and then be stunned when they are a victim. So, there it is, Keeping It Real.
