A place for coffee, conversation and concrete generally helping the world relax and figure out what it's all about.
Yelling at concrete podcast is a bi-weekly podcast mixed with wandering thoughts and the occasional guest. It's unedited and the guest picks the topic! That way we get the opportunity to discuss and delve into whole new worlds of conversation and hopefully give people a place to talk and hear about things they might not usually think about.
We have no objective, goal or agenda instead we're just talking it out. We're simply yelling at concrete.
Come join us.
All views are my own or that of my guests independently.

We covered all the hot topics
nice video man, keep it up
Thanks Dragosneata :)
The value of money is one of the thing that stands out to me today in the West. We live in capitalist countries because we use capital accumulation as a demarcation of wealth and a means for trade. That said we also live in a consumerist culture. This is distinct in my observation because consumerism is an ethical or moral viewpoint for spending said capital. In the West currently the only major ethical consideration is "can I buy this product". There are very few questions or answers about the downstream effects of consumption. "Where is the product sourced", "was this made with forced or coerced labor", "is this safe", "is it ethical for everyone to consume the product as I have". These are all very antithetical to a consumerist society, i.e. one where consumption is the primary ethical consideration. It is possible to have a system that is capitalist in nature, but not consumerist by ethos. If people were concerned about how fabric, coffee, sugar and rare earth minerals are sourced; then we could (and do in a limited sense) have a market that prioritizes the ethical sourcing of those materials. You can apply this to the labor cost of domestic services, i.e. minimum wage or tips. Ideally, in a less consumerist environment tipping culture would be more rewarding to those working at the low end of the income bracket. If people had a primary ethical drive to support their fellow man they would be less concerned about the few dollars of tips. This is in direct opposition to the primary consideration of "consume more" whereby each person jealously guards each and every dollar. Is it more important that you charge a dollar cost averaged hour of labor? Or that those who buy your products pay the amount necessary to support your work? I don't see this as a capital question but rather an ethical one. Capitalism is not an ethical system it is a means of bringing an ethical system to market.
Well when you figure out rich people Never work by the hour. That whole design is to keep people poor. You cannot become a Multi-millionaire without taking advantage of workers. Without those workers the rich would Fail. Then they have the audacity to call their systems ethical, and Nonprofits are the worst offenders. Getting so-called donations And sweetheart deals Based on lies that are tax write offs and get reinvested right into their Subsidiaries pocket. This is literally their playbook for Politicians, government officials And their families. Capitalism is always going to be in Support Of Passing laws and taxes to always favor generational wealth. This type of system is bound to fail as we are starting to see. The workers Eventually will revolt.
This just pop up in my feed, I love how you talk! You got a new subscriber
Thank you @justdashy ! Very much appreciated.
Lost me a bit when you started talking about tipped employees as though tips aren’t part of their income… tipped employees always end up making more than the “normal” minimum wage. That’s actually the quintessential qualification that *permits* the lower wage… the declared total has to surpass minimum wage. If I make no tips all week, my employer has to pay me actual minimum wage that week. The outrage in “tipped employees should be paid a normal wage” is supposed to come from customers who don’t want to have to tip in addition to paying for their food/service when the employer itself should be handling that part of the equation. Still an interesting video. I have picked up the habit of considering how much my time is worth… in seconds. Is the self-stick envelope worth the extra cost? Is it worth waiting in line to return a $2 item? Is it worth it to spend time looking for a better price, knowing it will be $1-2 difference?
Thanks for the reply and an interesting point i was unaware of around your employer having to "top up your pay so to speak"! Having been originally from the UK where tipping is an addition to a standard pay there is for some cultural nuance to it all.
So weird. The psychological impact of growing up poor. Ever since my first job, i've been rationing money. Making budgets, and planning spending a year out, just to make sure i'm never broke. But essentially living, like i'm always broke. At the same time constantly evaluating what i charge for my services based on my feelings about money, as opposed to value of my service to wealthy clients. So weird.
Nailed it. I do landscaping and I must overcome this tendency.
Totally agree it's a weight which never truly slips but one we can loosen overtime. Thanks for the comment value the time you took to make it!
Growing up poor makes you want to give people a good deal But you eventually grow out of it Or go broke. If a job only took you 10 minutes Because of your knowledge and experience, but any other Tradesman would charge $500 you need to charge that Price. Alas, that's Why I could never make it being self-employed and Then later on working for bosses they would just gouge the customer in my opinion, but The customer was happy and had Paid the money. It's almost like growing up poor made it much harder to survive. You ever heard the saying saving a nickel to spend a dollar. LOL Wealthy people invest money. For someone who grew up poor it sounds like the biggest gamble of all, For them they don't even think twice about It. It's why people tend to stay in the income brackets they were raised in.
@@funnycatvideos5490 hmmm....people who were raised with money, generally inherit money.

To powerful to coexist.
Nice :)
Thank you
You're welcome?
I’m starting it tomorrow and figured I’d search Sarah and nhs 5k to see what people had to say. This video has motivated but also made me less scared. I feel prepared now and I have a realistic outlook ❤
Thanks so much for watching! And best of luck 🎉 you got this!
Thanks for having us :)
?
Pardon?
Great podcast ❤ and Lizzie you are such a natural on this 👍🏼❤️🤓

Sorry, I don't understand this comment? Do you have a minute to explain?
Hey. I appreciate your musings on emotional maturity and your beard. Both are brilliant 💯 Thank you.
My beard appreciates your kind comment :)
Thanks for having me!! This was such a fun convo!
This was an absolute delight man, loved hanging out with you! Cheers for having me, and to cool people watching this.
Recently, I have been re-exposed to 'televisual' advertising, and I am finding it most interesting. I don't own a TV, I don't watch broadcast TV or catch-up TV through another device, I don't use KZread music on my phone when I'm out [since Bandcamp is way better, or just slamming a load of albums in your Google Drive and playing them that way works perfectly - there are so many ways to download / upload stuff for your private enjoyment - without adverts], and I used AdBlockPlus for all my web browsing. In short, day to day, I see no adverts, I see no mass media, I see only what my educated KZread feed and subscriptions show me - based on what I like / dislike / deselect for recommendation [I don't even remember the last time I saw a stupid gawping 'reaction face' thumbnail on a KZread keyword search!]. HOWEVER, recently, I've been watching old episodes of The Outer Limits from the 1960s - and the web portal I use shoehorns in adverts at the start and then every 8 minutes, including just before the episode finale with 2 minutes to go... Sometimes it is the same 15 second advert TWICE, back-to-back, to make a 30 second interlude. I am a person given to self analysis, as a means of coping with anxiety and other conditions, hence I find myself analysing these adverts that are *new* to me, since I've been out of the advertising loop for so long. I find myself studying them like an alien visitor, trying to understand a civilisation by decyphering broadcasts and cultural artefacts, and it is incredible... I find myself picking up on colloqualisms and parlance that younger people use - "I *literally* use it every day" [says the ginger woman about Febreeze odour spray]... I bet you 'literally' don't, but that sketchy disingenuous 'yoof-speak' [that might even contravene advertising standards] will activate some sort of engagement with a certain demographic, a certain target market... and that has been identified, manipulated, focused to control / influence the easily led, by some marketing think-tank / spin-doctor that might just as well be writing political propaganda for an anti EU, anti LGBTQ, anti disability, anti immigration Government or Newspaper. It is the same psychology at work, only the product being sold is different. I experience these adverts acutely, picking up on the fakeness / focus / formula of them... and how they even mirror each other. Frankly, if I was an alien observer, I'd be reporting back home to put the anal-probes back in storage and look for another planet to study, instead of this culturally and politically cancerous rock.
Great interview.
Thank you Miranda 😊
Good chat. It was nice to get a peek behind the Dan. Social Blade says I'll only have 832 subs in 5 years! 🙃
Think it's taken me 5 years to get five hundred haha it's honest work XD
Personally, I've never been comfortable wearing a logo / design / brand / slogan / picture... I see people who dress in a mass-produced / mass-marketed style, retail / media tribalism... whether it is a shirt with a croc on it worn by 20 different young men in the same bar, a football shirt, a t-shirt with a particular slogan, something the latest superstar is wearing or has branded after themself, or even every single person reeking of CK1 in the early 2000s... and I see the unthinking herd mentality of it. Not everyone is a dumb herd animal - some genuinely like and wear particular designs for aesthetic reasons, but so many people are utterly vacuous and they unmistakably project that image whilst believing that they are giving out an altogether more positive / aspirational vibe... I wear a lot of black - every single t-shirt I own is plain black. I wear a lot of dark blue, never faded denim for instance... but the style of my clothes isn't goth, or combat, or laddish, or gentrified or anything at all. I'm happy to project as little as possible, to be as invisible as possible in public, frankly. I am not a 'crowd' person. I got asked what my hair was 'all about' a year or so ago... It is about COVID, if anything at all. For the best part of 2yrs most people had no access to haircuts whatsoever. Your hair grows - slowly - you don't notice, and one day you have long hair that isn't about anything and that's just fine and groovy - tie it back and forget it, BUT many peoples' first reaction is that it *must* be about something. Some kind of warning sign, some sort of socio-political indicator, some sort of way of discriminating against people - as people increasingly seem to need to. Hatred, rather than 'live / let live' indifference. Even the Conservative Government notoriously thought it'd be a good idea for people with any form of mental illness to wear a wristband, several years ago... Maybe a rainbow sash if you are LGBTQ+, maybe a Star of David if...? Extreme, 'yes', but it is a proven extrapolation of how the mindset of the political right works, and the kneejerk tendency of the public 'herds' toward right-wing prejudices / paranoia / phobias when times are less than ideal. Frankly, the less I appear to be noticeably like other people, the better. I prefer dogs. :)
Dan is probably my favourite KZreadr and generally entertainment people. I love that you can still hear his mysterious, hidden fire alarm beeping throughout this. This is a great interview, you have a lovely laid back style.
Just finished. Terrific interview, top job.
Thanks so much Oldex!
Dan sitting on Santa's knee remains apex KZread doings... He has this whole other layer of wonderfully surreal comedy nonsense that has me laughing loudly - often within the first couple of minutes. Seems like a jolly nice bloke too, as well as a good sculptor / crafter. He deserves a lot more YT subs than all these 'serious' no-personality / timelapse hobby channels that completely forget to be enjoyable.
Couldn't agree more Paul, very happy to have found him to bring on and chat!
@@Yellingatconcrete It seems to have worked out well all round... Since I now have a new source of pod-shaped wisdom to listen to while I am doing my own hobby projects.
Just stumbled across this podcast and have been looking at the numbers and the time you've been running the show There's obviously something not working with the show whether that be the thumbnails or whether it be the way you intro the podcast I haven't watched enough to find out what you guys need to fix but there's definitely is something big Anyway lads have a good one and keep at your true passions, I hope this triggers some sort of turning point for yous.
Ah just stumbled across this comment didn't have chance to respond till now and have to say that I got your click and that's all I ever really wanted Liam. =] Have a great day.
How are doors and locks not essential to survival? Of course they are. They protect us from outside threats. To keep the outside...out.
But then we camp outside for leisure...as a treat. I dunno I'm not sold ;)
@Yellingatconcrete we camp, usually in enclosures surrounded by locked gates...
@@Kpadgett211 I'm now on a rabbit hole of what makes a door, like a tent door is just where the zip is but if I had a zip door in a house I'd not consider it a door but a curtain XD
@Yellingatconcrete doors became a thing because of survival. There is no getting around that. The whole purpose was to keep us safe from intruders. What it's become doesn't make their origin less clear or your statement less misguided. We also have things to protect ourselves, and we are more intelligent on what we need protecting from. As a backpacker, I sometimes sleep in bear country in a tent. We have bear spray. The tent only protect us from bugs and rain. It doesn't mean doors were not created as a protective barrier.
Thank you for having me on!
Now that you mention it, why do they have a bear chained up? Bears beet battlestar galactica!
Great interview. Let her talk.
Here are a couple of things I was trying to remember in the podcast that Graham said I could drop in the comments: 1. The director of one of my favorite noir films I mentioned, Bob le Flambeur, is Jean-Pierre Melville, considered the father of New Wave cinema. Melville's work influenced the next generation of young directors who would become the French New Wave. 2. The neo-noir movie from the 1970's to which I was referring is The Long Goodbye, dir. by Robert Altman, starring Elliott Gould (as detective Philip Marlowe) and Sterling Hayden. I had a great time on the podcast! Thanks, Graham, for having me on for coffee and conversation. Cheers! 😊
Chillest interview ever
We aim for chill on this show. So glad it got that vibe.
This was a fantastic watch!
I don't drink, I don’t smoke, and I don’t have access to a chaise lounge: clearly I can never be an artist.
Neither can I haha
Sir, the copy of Potatropy sitting on my self would suggest otherwise.
Invisible Monsters is another Chuck Palahniuk novel that requires that you read it in a unique way. At the end of each chapter it tells you to turn to page XX like those old Choose Your Own Adventure books. While you are turning you inevitably get glimpses and fragments of other chapters. There are also multiple chapters in that book that you will never read if you just follow the pages you are told to go to. In regards to the actual rules of writing, Cormac McCarthy played around with it in both No Country For Old Men where there are no quotation marks to indicate when somebody is speaking and in Blood Meridian ? he would just put whole paragraphs and pages of untranslated Spanish text.
You know what I've read invisible monsters but didn't do the page turn I just read it through and I did not know if you did the jumps you'd be cutting stuff! That's awesome. Going on the re read pile.
Throw 20 introverts in a room and see what happens? A socially anxious extrovert (me) turns up and feels the need to say hello to people I previously only knew from the internet, thus creating terribly uncomfortable conversation 🤣
Someone has to do it :)
Love the chat, you have such a soothing voice!!! You should be doing ASMR. 🖤
XD thank you! Not the first person to tell me that. Not sure I'd suit ASMR I talk to much with my hands I'd I'd up flapping the mic about haha.
@@Yellingatconcrete 😂🤣😂
i wonder what crashes pronouns are
Anyone who gets into a relationship should preferably have some similar interests, but *mostly* have their own hobbies, passions and drive - each person should compliment each other but by no means be the only thing in the others life. I’ve been that person for someone in the past and honestly it drained me. I don’t think anyone should ask any other person to not be who they are or to not eat something, so something or not see any particular person. I think people forget that they can be their own person. It’s all weird social constructs that we’ve been brought up around. People merge into one person and that’s boring as sin.
Nice pod cast. I wonder if there is a way to make the internet more like this.
Thanks 👍 I mean we can hope right or just put our own thoughts out there and hope people pick them up.
Found your stuff on reddit. Always nice to come across new people.
Thanks so much for following through to my stuff :) hope you enjoy the work!
Hmm
Did i really watch and listen to graham or his embodied work of art for 30 minutes? Thank you for really diving into the gray matter of this topic! I like the exaggerated element when it comes to make believe but not world issues. It becomes fake news and less desired.
Glad you enjoyed it Mike 🙂
Hello :-)
Hello. =]
Frankie is amazing!
Couldn't agree more!
Glad I watched all this cause now I want to check out her channel and watch “attack on Titans” for once in my life. The gen x is what I believe I’m apart (being 38) but I still loved listening to full albums cds, cassettes and even MP3’s. My wife liked “Death note” but I couldn’t bring myself to watch more without sleeping with the lights on. Good show!
I can die before finishing watching this brilliant podcast. You have a dark, wonderful twist on life especially about the 18 wheeler and mom painting severed hands..I appreciate you putting into words of “Live your life like it’s your own” or however that’s coined. No matter how big or small you get on this platform these vids will definitely spark discussion or at least inflection on the viewers and listeners.
Thanks Mike! Really appreciate the feedback glad you enjoy them and hope you're well!
Michael Keaton for president! Nice mug for silently expressing love for Batman too. I haven’t even heard of this movie before watching this entire podcast. But now I’m curious about it.
All about the subtle symbolism.
