Speaker 4
rape I had
Speaker 1
a videotape all right talk about going from just some bullshit to about as heavy a topic as you could have all right hey Bill I got a little question doesn't sound like a little question dude she said rape I have videotape all right this all sounds crazy all right last year I had sex with a girl two days later I was arrested charged with rape luckily I filmed it I filmed it all as me and a friend had a three-cent with her so it's all good now wait a minute all right so if I'm to believe you you and your friend had a three-cent with this woman you filmed it did she know you were filming it
Speaker 2
maybe because you filmed it she
Speaker 1
then got afraid you're gonna show it to people so then she did that I have no fucking idea there's too many maybe you filmed it and she didn't know which would make you a piece of shit but then smart because she said it was rape and it wasn't that's if I believe you that is a lot of variables here luckily I filmed it at all as me and a friend had a threesome with her so it's all good not you see I have to still doubt this guy because of this thing he had a videotape the cops watch it and he got off I still have to act like she still had a case because it's rape you know I mean I have to act like no guy ever gets accused of rape when he didn't rape you know what I mean I have to be like you know I mean I could be like those white people at the award shows I have to stand up and applaud but the whole thing stresses stressed me out so bad that I had to quit my job yeah I would think so and I've gone to therapy ever since now I always wear a hidden recording device when I'm on a date with a girl I got paid a thousand dollars because all of that happened or a thousand dollars in damages the girl on the other hand didn't suffer a bit she was apparently unstable and had reported eight other cases of rape the same year I was number nine still the police showed up with six men two cars and made my room look like a scene from CSI well
Speaker 2
they're just doing their job dude
Speaker 1
and if she was unstable she didn't have to pay me or any or anything or anyone I got paid by the government I was risking years behind bars yeah God knows what they would have done to you in there I read something in the local paper by another one of her victims that was also proven innocent was being hated on by my country's biggest feminist groups rape is serious but this is this has to stop what are your thoughts on this bill thank you for your answer and consensually fuck you yeah I mean I think that's your situation is you're gonna get caught up in after years of it going totally the other way whereas where they blamed the victim and said well what were you wearing you were asking for it what did you think was gonna happen now you know which obviously needed to stop that now socially it's gone from where they blame the victim to me back in the day they'd be like well you were drinking what did you think was gonna happen they've gone all the way to the other side now where it's just like if she said she was raped she was raped so which isn't a bad what makes it a bad fucking thing is the fact that they put the accused name in the picture and everything in the fucking paper before anything has been proven I am an advocate of you protect both people until something has been proven either innocence or guilt all right and if it's innocent you let that person get back on with their life because you cannot shake that it's over the second you're accused of that shit it's fucking over you know it's it's complete it's over you are branded that for the rest of your fucking life and when you have somebody out there if they're fucking unstable and they're doing this for whatever fucking reason I mean God knows what a horrible thing happened to this person
Speaker 2
that they're doing
Speaker 1
this or maybe they were born unstable I have no fucking idea but you know the fact
Speaker 4
that you know you get a thousand bucks you're
Speaker 1
in therapy you got to quit your fucking job and all that I mean look who's kidding who dude all right you had a fucking threesome
Speaker 4
all right your
Speaker 1
videotape and the fucking thing I mean I don't know that you I can't say you don't wear a fucking recording device I totally understand why you would I totally get that but I would just say why don't you you know try to date somebody a little more stable I mean you going on dates versus you know
Speaker 4
hooking
Speaker 1
up with some crazy person who's having a threesome and letting you film the fucking thing I mean right there dude if you fucking like if you hook up with somebody you don't fucking know them from Adam and they're gonna have a fucking threesome and they're gonna let you film the fucking thing I mean the right there I
Speaker 4
mean the amount of red flags that should be flying in your face you shouldn't even be seeing the person anymore
Speaker 1
here I am blaming you again you're probably a young guy you never had this so you learned your fucking lesson here I don't know dude like if if if secretly wearing a recording device you know makes you feel more comfortable then I I don't have a problem with it I mean dude you I don't know if you ever heard like what happens to rapists in jail you know they're like hunted down and fucking gang raped and all of that type of shit it's fucking horrific what could have happened to you just because she said that that happened and those feminist groups that are doing that shit I mean they've basically exposing themselves for what they truly are is their sexist they're totally fucking sexist any woman says a guy does anything they just totally have their fucking back they didn't give a shit I mean this was this person even in that year said that you know someone raped and didn't raped her and didn't I mean right there they did a little bit of fucking where they just immediately back them let me guess did they apologize to you at all you know I'm sure they didn't do they as big as a fucking surge that they did online or wherever they were coming at you when they apologized which should have been even bigger did they I'm sure they didn't you know because there's sexist cunts they
Speaker 4
are they don't give a shit they sit there
Speaker 1
and they pat themselves on the back like did these socially advanced fucking people and they aren't they're the exact fucking thing that they're fighting the exact moron sexist guy that thinks a woman should just be there to suck his dick and make him a sandwich they are the female version of that they are the female fucking version that generally fucking speaking and I can speak in generalities considering how they treated you all right here we go telling guitarist he's bad hey Billy Bonzo bill I love you and I need you help all right I am a 16 year old guy from Egypt that's so fucking cool and you listen to this podcast that's awesome yes you have fans in Egypt anyway I have been playing guitar for two years now and I started a band with some friends that's awesome a drummer a bass player and another guitar player here's the problem we're having trouble with the guitar player he is flashy he is a flashy fuck with no talent he never practices enough that's very bad quality guitar and amp learned solos only and doesn't even play them correctly and he wants me to play the rhythm section while he shits the lead parts I don't have a problem in playing rhythm but only if he can play well to put his failure into perspective he's been playing guitar for over six years and most people tell me I'm way better than him not trying to be cocky or anything just shitting on him more and more where I live finding another guitarist who can actually play is very difficult so it's hard to let him go while we have a gig coming in October so should we let him go and find another guy and if so can we tell him that he is out yeah Jesus Christ do this there's a lot of variables in this one all right so if I aim to believe that this guy stinks as much as you do and not that this is some cliched in band fighting where you're playing rhythm and he's playing lead so all the chicks want to bang him afterwards and you're standing like what about me you know what I mean everyone wants to fuck Angus nobody wants to fuck Malcolm over here you know as long as it isn't that this guy truly does suck and if you're actually better than him then why don't you turn yourselves into a power trio you know and then all you got to do is have your bass player and your drummer will give them more space for when you're playing the lead it would make you a better guitarist too especially if there's some space within those leads and then you could hit a couple of fucking the rhythm chords then go put it in and out of the fucking make you a better guitars
Speaker 4
I mean
Speaker 1
I can tell you right now that if you think this guy's a flashy fuck with no talent and he's not practicing and he's been playing three times as long as you when you feel that you're better I don't see you guys ever coming to a point where you're gonna be happy with what the fuck he's doing my only question is though you do need some showmanship in the band I would think because sometimes somebody can be better than somebody else but they stand there and they look like a fucking toad waiting for a fly to come by and then at that point you literally have to be a musician to understand how what they're doing because there is you know you also have to entertain people so all is flashy shit though that could get you some gigs you know what I mean in the beginning who knows I don't know you would have to assess all of that but if you the drummer and the bass player are all on the same page and you just think this guy's a flashy fuck who's not bringing anything to the band then then yeah I bounced the guy maybe after you gig in October if there's not enough time to find somebody new maybe play one more fucking gig and then get rid of them but if he's actually you know there's been a lot of flashy guys that couldn't quite fucking play but they were fun to watch and the bands made it so I don't know that that part of it is gonna have to be up to you but I think there's opportunity there for you to become an even better guitarist if you want to try to hold down his parts for a while until you find somebody else and then you know what you only have to split the gig money three ways instead of four all I would say is if you're gonna start playing leads then I would still a little bit of that guy's moves in his fashion sense you know what I mean you got to do a couple of things you can't be standing back dead fucking I don't like I said like that
Free will is an incredible gift from God that we often underestimate. We truly get to make a choice in every decision that we come across—even the smallest decisions. But guess what we DON'T get to choose?
The consequences.
Today, Fr. Mike reminds us that every action has a consequence built into it. So, if you want a certain result, make a choice. If you choose sin, you get sin. If you choose God, you get God. The choice... is yours.
