Aki being strictly an insightful human being does not pay the bills.And by the way there are chats on you tube where you can interact just as much as in a classroom.

To each his own. Certain jobs require a university degree. Others do not. A degree does show the person has the ability to focus and have a certain work ethic.

Its a business so you invite people who will at least cover their plate with their gift if not no need to have them there.

I agree with Domenic, it’s only a scam if you let it. 😊

I just left a restaurant where I had to order and prepay before service, get my own drink and clean my own table. I hit skip when prompted for the tip, I got 3 chicken strips, 9$ and bowl of soup for 18$ so why should I tip when I’m waiting on my self and food is wayyyyy over priced already, they better be paying their employees well at those prices. I could have made that at home for 5$ they are making money so pay living wages, I’m not giving charity to a restaurant

In my view i tip somewhat according to the quality of service i receive. Certain places that i frequent on a regular basis go out of their way to give me great service so i tend to be more generous towards them.

Good discussion and relevant given the potential for technological advances to reduce employment. And wonderful to see you Pat after all these years!

It is very difficult to determine who cheats the system and who does not .That and the fact many people just plain dont want to make an effort to better their financial position in life make it very difficult to set up a system that would fix the genuine problem that exists .

The four of you are spot on 👍🏻

Lots of wannabes out there who have nothing going on and they are in awe of people who have achieved success and are visible because of it .

Our health care system is broken .Huge shortage of staff and delays before people are attended to. Not everyone can afford going private in order to get their much needed surgeries or other procedures done.

There will be a moment in the podcast that you will all go up on the table and punch each other to agree with the same standpoint. As far as I'm concerned this is such a delicated topic to put on the table and we can come across different statements and point of views related to it.

Great conversation.

Back in time, I would say to myself, Fuck off what people are thinking about me and don't care what the others have to say for me about my person as individual, because I know who I am even though I didn't have much maturity back in the day I would like to have a clear core set of values and with that choosing in a easy way what I want for my life.

Friendship is such an outstanding point to have but at the same time it might be something such a worst experience in the whole lifetime. So make a sharp decision about who you want besides you, I'd say makes the difference.

It s important to have close friends .

Beautiful topic 😊

Soooo, when is the episode on a guaranteed minimum income? 😈

Get into a line of work that brings you pleasure and stick to it .Too many people working at jobs they dislike and doing it only to put food on the table.

Television stations bringing us the news are so biased it is no longer news reporting but rather opinions being shared.

Pat, you keep saying both sides! What's extreme left?

So the guys on the right are WAY more forgiving to the corruption that is so prominent. They dismiss it too casually. Those of us left of center are much more alarmed at the rise and strength of the extreme and stupid misinformed people. It is serious, and the damage being inflicted (look at Project 2025)... it won't be a quick fix. Complacency is their fuel. Nurhan, though I love his calmness, seems to not appreciate to gravity of the seriousness of the radical right. Dom, just because Trump says a few things you relate to and respect - I find it hard forget that he lies about everything else. It is indisputable that he lies about everything. He is not just a typical politician-liar, this guy lies about EVERYTHING and his followers simply do not care that he lies to that degree. I suggest you have been conditioned to accept anything and everything just so that your guy gets to talk about the three or four things you care about. There is no such thing as alternate facts. I'm with you Aki - the degree to which the right has become radicalized is very alarming - especially for those of us who actually still want to get along with everybody. Pat - Biden HAS dealt with the economy. Trickle down or not - the numbers are good. - Al Franken for President, Bill Maher for VP!!!

Other cultures: Arranged marriages often last a lifetime - so longevity isn't a useful measure. Maybe marriage should be a ten year contract, with option to renew - or not.

Great conversation - lot's of wisdom from the retired old guys ;) I have a couple of comments - there seems to be unicorn-like rainbow cast over "The Family." We seem to think that The Family is where the ball can either get dropped, or taken in for the goal. I don't think the family is as well equipped as we would like it to be - it actually cannot be relied upon as the foundation of all things good. Sure, the four of you are strong family men, but let's not forget that SO MANY families are comprised of not-so-strong people, not so informed people, not so capable people. IMHO, the family unit of the 50's is an illusion today. Just because two people get together to make babies does NOT qualify them to be good parents...but The Family they become. So, all the garbage (flaws-maybe even mental heath flaws) that unqualified people bring to the unit are not suddenly addressed because of children. Those children have become the product of ill equipped parents, and the problems of life compound. Mentally unhealthy folks get together to make even more mentally unhealthy folks - no law against that... The subsequent mental health issues got pushed onto the teachers who are, for sure, better equipped/educated, but are understandably overwhelmed. Enter The Pharmacists - they are in the business of prescribing life long treatments. Tax THEM! Dom seems to be one tough hombre, able to overcome challenges and obstacles, but he is exceptional, not the norm. We should all have his iron gut and can-do attitude. Sometimes little Timmy needs to be told to shake it off so that he can develop an internal survival strategy as opposed to being coddled and victimized/validated. We certainly have catered to people's struggles, but many people take advantage of the unnecessary catering. The herd is weaker now, and we all know what happens to a weak herd. Hey - You guys didn't talk about diet. All that sugar and wheat, all that processed food that we are force fed... for sure it has a chemical effect on the brain and it's development, no?

Dirty politics is the norm today.

Enoyed very much watching this episode.

Role models are so very important, spot on guys.😊

I must say, it really is wonderful how you four guys, who are soooo different, can always end up still being friends, respectful friends, and end with a laugh. It's good to know you all. BTW - Dom ended on a VERY true note about this: It all boils down to intelligence! Intelligence allows you to disagree respectfully. Less organized religion, more human values...

The difference between Santa and, say, Jesus, is that no one gets offended to the core if you don't buy into the Santa lie. People have been burned alive for saying they do not believe in Jesus etc. "Santa" has never caused death. Religion is the cause of most wars and death. Religion is designed to control people. No good ever came from religion. Good may have come from people, and they have been religious, but the good had zero to do with religion. As a christian, I was lied to countless times, until I woke up and smelled the bullshit. At that point, I still had to remain silent about my realization because of the hyper sensitivity of the christian masses for calling bullshit! When I finally released myself of the shackles of the christian community, I was free to be a human. Turns out I am a nice guy, a moral guy, a respectable guy, a generous guy, a happy and funny guy, full of faults but still good. The bullshit that Christians are such wonderful beings that do sooooo much good in the name of Jesus is 100% a lie. People do good (or bad) because that's who they are. Same for Allah. Same for Mohammed. Same for ALL RELIGIONS. There are many books of lies. Thor is just as real as Santa and Jesus and the tooth fairy. ALL religions should be OUT of schools and government. As an example - DJT is the worlds biggest piece of orange shit human in the spotlight, and he swore an oath on a sacred bible - it meant absolutely NOTHING!

Things ARE bad now, and will get worse in many senses. Strong will survive, many will suffer like they never have, and eventually things may get better - but that will be when, like Aki and Nurhan said, more people get involved - the population is too complacent - it will be very costly to take a "sit back nd watch" stance. Our generation messed up our kids generation by being so dam nice to them. They never had the satisfaction of experience of bettering themselves - generally. But, they'll figure it out, the smart and strong will rise up, the weak will cry and die. That's life.

Sorry Pat, but people buy a lottery ticket for fun - to fantasize about stuff. It's not about being responsible or logical or well informed. If I won 100 Million, it would be a good day for everyone who knows me. If I won a million, I'd go to Sicily with Dom for a nice grappa! As far as government is concerned, at least in Canada winnings are tax exempt :)

I’ve never seen so many young people on anxiety pills 💊 society has become so competitive some people just can’t compete.

Aki has a point .Healthcare workers are doing long hours and are under more stress than most other professions .His hands were in check until the last minute and a half then all hell broke loose.Lol

Good interaction between you guys .Nice to listen to the different view points .

We’re doomed 😊

It is no one s right to do whatever they want .People just sometimes act on their impulses.

Love the sparring between Nuran and Aki .

Aki if i tell you something today and you pass it on do you realise how distorted that statement will be in two thousand years? Wake up and smell the coffee.

You can behave in an honorable way and be a good and straight person without embracing a given religion. Seen too many people going to confession because they couldnt help themselves from behaving in an inappropriate manner.Who is protecting the millions of innocent people getting killed in wars or kids getting abused ?

Its a cash grab thats all it is .They have churches and temples worth millions from all the suckers donating money .Ans look at how many preachers became filthy rich by stealing people s money .And Aki you were not around when mankind started to say what the original goal was. Makority of priests were predators for the longest time and would still be had the church not intervened.For years they closed their eyes and let all of the abuse go on.I have friend who was abused ny nuns right here in Montreal.Now in court sixty years later waiting for a settlement.

Was Nuran getting ready for a date?I saw the lip gloss in action.

Artificial intelligence ......Hahahahahahaha

Is this a stupid question with an obvious answer of *YES*?

Immigration is fine but lets be selctive as to who we let in.Proper screening and following up on those who do come into the country. Bad behavior cannot be tolerated. It is a privilege to be allowed entry into a country.

Great subject, spot on Domenic !

One million does not change your life other than paying off debts .In no way is someone rich if their net worth is a million dollars .

I m buying a Lottomax ticket for friday s jackpot. If it s got the winning numbers...........I ll share the news with you guys .Lol

Social media ! 😊

Life is a series of cycles repeating themselves .Enjoyed the podcast.

In the end it s a personal choice and if a person is not harming themselves with risky procedures then it s all good.
