The #JediJoyRichShow is an expose on how people who have no credit are treated by landlords, lease holders, car rental agencies etc.
The Jedi go undercover to show how constructions unions work with the media to lie to about public safety. We show how aggressive a 27-year old gets when he thinks he’s dealing with someone who he would consider “trash”. We expose lawyers who misrepresent their clients’ best interest. We expose doctors who overcharge for emergency room visits to those who cannot afford a hospital. We expose how the police will use the “5150” call as a way to cover for their mistakes when they cannot press a charge. The Jedi expose hospitals who rack up medical bills to the homeless & the mentally ill with bills knowing they will never be able pay them back. We expose celebrity doctors who are addicted to sugar. We expose celebrity chef who are teaching poor eating habits. We expose pop stars who are bulimic. We expose actors, musicians, ah...the #JediJoyRichShow just goes on. And on and on and on.
Thanks for supporting the Jedi

Before 2001, I was living in Seattle working in internet banking. My company transferred me to Manhattan. I signed a lease on September 1st, 2001. I lived a few blocks from the Twin Towers. After 9/11, I was deeply traumatized. My company laid me off a few months after 9/11. That devastated me. I found other jobs in Manhattan but could not shake the fact that a billion dollar organization would abandon me. I lost motivation. I started doing drugs. I was suffering from depression. Depression is not a choice. It’s not a result of personal decisions. I quit banking, left Manhattan and started bartending in Aspen, Colorado. The rest is book worthy of a trilogy. I've seen the underworld from the eyes of a C.E.O. Maybe one day, I will get my book (s) published. Fast forward 15 years to when me & Jedi Joy Lightowler founded JEDIRICH.COM in 2018. JEDIRICH.COM is personal blog about health, nutrition. music, art, fun, and the underworld, until one day, that all changed...
While blogging about the new Raiders’ Stadium in Las Vegas, we discovered they made an error in May of 2019. An iron worker told us that they had installed parts on the trusses upside down. Then, the crew had secretly removed a truss on Father’s Day. The iron workers were mad that they told the Jedi everything.
The Jedi were the first to report the truss issue. Las Vegas media called the Jedi “fake news”, even though we had video evidence. We had photos of the crew removing a truss on Father’s Day Sunday. It was pretty obvious because the crew never worked Sundays. Don Webb, C.O.O., did not want anyone to notice. But the Jedi got photos. That was in June of 2019. We tweeted, emailed and contacted every news station in Las Vegas. They downplayed it. They said it was no big deal. My family owned a True Value hardware store. I know you cannot remove a mounted truss without causing structural integrity issues. There was not a single reporter, journalist or blogger who covered the story. This was because there would not be enough time to dismount 10 trusses and rebuild them correctly. So, Don Webb found a faster solution.
But on November 3rd, 2019, the roof collapsed as a result of this truss fuss. The project got shut down. December 2019 was a media circus. Don Webb was in the hot seat in January 2020 because of what the Jedi had been tweeting since June of 2019. Mark Davis, the Raiders owner, has since nick-named the Stadium the Death Star. We presume it’s because of the Jedi’s discovery but we have not received any credit for saving the Stadium. Don Webb is not a fan of Star Wars anymore.
The Jedi are Social Media Experts. After the truss fuss on 2019, we created the new Raider Nation Anthem in March 2020. The Jedi can make anything compelling; whether it’s a new Stadium being built or a convenience store at 5am in West Central Las Vegas.

Video from 2019 when the Jedi were the first to discover a delay at the Allegiant Stadium where the Las Vegas Raiders will playin 2021. In this video, I learned how to use graphics, music, and green screens to produce a message in an effective manner. It took nearly 6 months, but eventually the press picked up the story about a delay in January. But that was only after the roof collapsed, the building inspectors shut down the project for a month and the Raider's owner visited Las Vegas to get the project back on track. The only way anyone knew there was a problem with the Stadium was by watching the Jedi at JEDIRICH.COM on YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram. When the press finally picked up the story, they did not give credit to the Jedi, however.

One of the first news movies we made was when a man killed himself outside of our apartment in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department showed up after the man was dead. They threatened to kill him. It was quite a sight watching 15 armed police men (and one woman) threaten to kill a dead man.
The Jedi are Social Media Content Creators for the 21st Century. The concept is simple: you get views when people hate you. The social media is primarily made up of lonely, depressed, people. They will not respond to anything positive. The more negative views you get, the more likely your content will go viral. Much more likely than when people love you. It's psychology 101.
A downheart is worth 10 uphearts.
One hate comment = 10 love comments
Why? When people are depressed, they get pleasure from other people's misery. When they see something they absolutely love, they will often respond with "I hate that". It's childish. But it's easy to figure out. It's just social media. Use reverse psychology. Make videos that will make people hate to get more views. So, what do social media people hate? That's what the Jedi can explore for you. The Jedi are the masters of the human psyche. Check out some samples. Let us know how much you hate them.

In March 2020, the Jedi produced the Raider Nation anthem for the Las Vegas Raiders inaugural 2020 season called "Vegas Raiders - JUST WIN BABY". The original song was written by Ice Cube for the Oakland Raiders called "Come & Get it". Jedi Rich produced the song layering some beats from Skrillex & Martin Garrix. Two weeks later, we received over 800,000 views on Twitter. Then, the global pandemic the shut down the World on March 17th, 2020.

We are the #JediJoyRichShow #JJRS-- advocates for healthy & organic living. Along the way, we give our opinion too. But like Jedi Joy's late mother Laura Jean Shugrue always says - "Opinions are like armpits & assholes-- everyones got 'em & they stink!"

I’m a shithead. I know. When you’re s shithead, people treat you like shit. Im used to it. But a lot of people are not, especially on the Internet. So what I’m asking is, “Maybe we can all start being a little nicer to each other on the Internet”

Jedi Rich Lightowler started recording copyrighted material at age 5 in Milwaukie, Oregon 1972. He found a two-track cassette recorder, the kind that you had to press "play & record" together to record and he would audio record "Star Trek" off the TV every night for his Dad when he got off work. At age 5, Jedi Rich thought the recordings were a Masterpiece. Jedi Rich dreamed of being able to someday do the same thing with video recorder, but the VCR had not yet been invented.

Here's a little bit about Jedi Joy. In 2002, Jedi Joy graduated high school one year early. Instead of going to college like her sister, Jedi Joy joined the U.S. Air Force at age 17. She wanted to serve her country after the tragic events of 9/11. Her parents had to sign a waiver. While she was in the Air Force, her mother committed suicide. This event changed the course of Jedi Joy's life forever.
Aquí hay un poco sobre Jedi Joy. En 2002, Jedi Joy se graduó de la escuela secundaria un año antes. En lugar de ir a la universidad como su hermana, Jedi Joy se unió a la Fuerza Aérea de los Estados Unidos a los 17 años. Quería servir a su país después de los trágicos eventos del 11 de septiembre. Sus padres tuvieron que firmar una renuncia. Mientras estaba en la Fuerza Aérea, su madre se suicidó. Este evento cambió el curso de la vida de Jedi Joy para siempre.

Back to Jedi Rich. In 1996, Jedi Rich built his first digital audio workstation (DAW) in Oakland, California on Rich St. between Telegraph & 42nd Avenue. The house was located "down the way" from Mosswood Park where Jedi Rich would play hoops on the weekends Three out of five band members were named Rich & the studio was on Rich Street, so naturally the band was called "Timothy James & the Crying Shames". It was an experimental studio, built in a detached garage. But it worked. And it was portable so Jedi Rich could record the band's live shows when they played in San Fransisco.
De vuelta a Jedi Rich. En 1996, Jedi Rich construyó su primera estación de trabajo de audio digital (DAW) en Oakland, California en Rich St. entre Telegraph y 42nd Avenue. La casa estaba ubicada "en el camino" de Mosswood Park, donde Jedi Rich jugaba al baloncesto los fines de semana. Tres de cada cinco miembros de la banda se llamaban Rich y el estudio estaba en Rich Street, por lo que, naturalmente, la banda se llamaba "Timothy James & the Crying Vergüenzas ". Era un estudio experimental, construido en un garaje independiente. Pero funcionó. Y era portátil para que Jedi Rich pudiera grabar los shows en vivo de la banda cuando tocaban en San Fransisco.
The skills Jedi Rich learned building that DAW are the same needed today in a non-linear, non-destructive recording environment In fact, you need to know much less today to build and use a DAW under normal circumstances.
Las habilidades que Jedi Rich aprendió al construir ese DAW son las mismas que se necesitan hoy en día en un entorno de grabación no lineal y no destructivo. De hecho, necesita saber mucho menos hoy para construir y usar un DAW en circunstancias normales.

A better question: What kind of people have you been hiring? You hired a team of people who choose to spend 80% of their wake time away from people they love. Meaning, they are either lying to their feelings, lying to their loved ones (wow) or lying to the business (bigger wow). You can’t be in two places at one time. Further, as a manager, how will you feel asking Jimmy Jimenez in editing to make a last minute animation changes over the weekend, knowing, little Jimmy has got the Scripts Spelling Bee Championship finals in Santa Cruz on Saturday. Eventually, you will resent Jimmy or he will resent you. But Jimmy’s wife & kids will resent both of you. Over 90% of marriages today in their 30s will get divorced before the couple is in their 50s.

"Limit Your Liabilities - Hire a Husband/Wife Production Team"™️
|
With all the #MeToo's in the Entertainment, music & film industry, now you can limit your liability by hiring a two-person team for your project; similar to how doctors & dentists treat patients of the opposite gender. Sounds weird, but that's the world we live in today.
Con todos los # MeToo en la industria del entretenimiento, la música y el cine, ahora puede limitar su responsabilidad contratando un equipo de dos personas para su proyecto; similar a cómo los médicos y dentistas tratan a los pacientes del sexo opuesto. Suena raro, pero ese es el mundo en el que vivimos hoy.
