Speaker 2As Hemingway said, there is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man. Who nobility is being superior to your former self.
Speaker 1Enjoy the episode as much as we enjoyed recording it Context Ever.
Speaker 2King, you want times. Oh yeah, it's up to you.
Speaker 3And, realistically, the way we switch topics Is gonna be super easy to do. Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1Usually a clear, definitive line.
Speaker 3And now, cause it's usually a- clear, definitive line yeah and now, yeah, well, because it's preceded by anyway, yeah, you know what that's it.
Speaker 1And then we should just have a thing that anytime, anyway, is said, new chapter, funny I like that I like the uh coca-cola zero with tony stark iron man.
Speaker 3Yeah, if you scan it with your phone. He appears in augmented reality on your phone. Oh my god, I know I found that out why don't we all?
Speaker 1why aren't we all wearing augmented reality glasses yet? Oh, I don't know, I can't afford them, okay, but like I don't think they're that good yet.
Speaker 3Like a VR headset.
Speaker 1Well like the Apple Vision Pro but, like something that's not so bulky and like literally like those. Uh, I remember the other day I was I I maybe you weren't in that chat, but I was running and I was frustrated because I'm trying to keep my heart rate.
Speaker 3You showed me that. You showed me.
Speaker 1It's amazing so like these glasses that literally have a heads-up display in them and it just shows you like your running time, your heart rate, your other thing. So it's like a heads-up display in your glasses and they're like they were 300 bucks and I was like I debated getting them but I didn't haven't. Like just for the heart rate no, well, it's like for uh, cycling or running or whatever it tells. It shows you, like how, how far you've gone, your your run time and your heart rate, it looks really cool.
Speaker 2That would be kind of cool, except sometimes I like not knowing how far I've run yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1I yeah. Lately I'm not really trying to run the distance, I'm just trying to run for a certain period of time but keep my heart rate in zone two and sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's not I haven't heard anything about the apple vision pro I have watched some videos on it, uh, and I debated buying one.
Speaker 1but but here's the thing, if you're like a single dude who's like goes at home and you're gonna stay single, well, you probably will, but I also could see that it'd be more useful to you because, like here's the thing, if I go home after work, uh, put my go home to work, put my apple vision pro on and shut up the five family for the rest of the night While I watch videos, uh, in my head over here, while I cook supper over here and completely like just neglect my family life yeah.
Speaker 1You know what I mean Like and then even so say, even you go to the point where it's like, okay, maybe you don't use it, then you get your kids you have supper, you do the thing, you put the kids to bed and now it's like okay, your wife and you're gonna watch a show.
Speaker 3Actually, no, I'm gonna put this headset on and watch my own show and you can watch your own show and if you think about it, like how many couples sit there and my wife and I are guilty, but sometimes she's on her phone, on my phone, yeah same, and so we do headsets. I feel like it just makes it worse, even worse.
Speaker 1Yeah, you just the disconnection is, uh, I just feel like it. I feel like that's all it's going to create because, even though you can go like opaque view where I can still see everything around me, I could be looking at you all right now, but looking at a movie over here, or it's crazy because you can set screens wherever you want, so in your house. It maps the house you walk around. You say, every time you go to the kitchen, you're you have a above your stove, like a virtual timer above your stove, and it's always sitting there. So you walk into the room, that's where that is. You could have your music app, your Apple Music tab, over here. And when you walk into this room you see it, you're like, oh okay, yeah, I want that. And then you just set these tabs anywhere you want in virtual space and they stay there.
Speaker 2You could have, like your youtube screen completely set up would it be as good it is, as good it's pretty, it's crazy and you can.
Speaker 1If you have an app like an imac, like a like imac pro, you can use the your screen as a second, like second, third, fourth screen, so you can set up different screens around and you could use like four monitors. It's crazy stuff. It really is pretty. It's a cool technology, but I just don't, unless you're gonna figure out a way to use it in your job where it becomes super useful, like just as like a fun thing to have.
Speaker 1I just think it it's just a novelty novelty and just again removing yourself from your social life I still like, I still play that.
Speaker 3I've had that vr headset for like five months. I still play it. Yeah, once twice a week. I try and get 30 minutes to an hour total on that thing. It's so much fun the novelty hasn't worn off but it will. But again, I just use it for the games, I don't use it for the. I don't do stocks or have six windows up and tracking things.
Speaker 1I don't know there's a video my kid is watching on youtube.
Speaker 3I don't know what business people do.
Speaker 2Don't make that face tracking what do they do, I don't know Stocks with all their screens and graphs and stuff, yeah that's what business is to me.
Speaker 3I don't know.
Speaker 1My kid watched this show where this guy I can't remember how long he wore it for like a week straight or something. It was pretty funny.
Speaker 2Do they have speakers in them?
Speaker 1Yep, so you don't need headphones anymore. No, they're like it's built into the strap. I think it's pointed at your ears, kind of like how those shock ones that you don't have to actually be in your ears Right.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's kind of like that. I'm surprised I haven't seen a single person wearing them.
Speaker 1That's true. Well, it's expensive. It's like $3,500. Yeah, it's like $3,500.
Speaker 2Yeah, but people spend way more money on stupider shit, that's true flex as the kids, kids would say is that what they say?
Speaker 3that's what my kid says. He has some, some, some skins in fortnite.
Speaker 2He's like it's a big flex dad like I don't care, I don't care um, was it you talking the other day again about what kids say? Your kids, yes, they're like riz and oh okay, dad I was doing a, a work thing and just doing.
Speaker 3You know, I was on the street and uh, I was talking to somebody and then two kids came up to me and uh, they're like hey, you, just you were just risen up, that this is what they said. You risen up, the milf. I'm like what are you talking? About these two kids. They were just. They're like maybe 15, 16 and I was talking to an older lady, whatever and yeah, and I'm like, what does that?
Speaker 3even mean, and they're like well risen. I like, oh, I don't know what that means, I just but you knew what MILF meant. Well, no, no, god, no, Never, no idea. Well, everyone watched American Pie when we were kids.
Speaker 1That's when it came out. Remember American Pie.
Speaker 3True, yes, that was like, was that when um?
Speaker 1kids are so messed up right now it's.
Speaker 3I didn't understand then. Then they tried to carry on conversation. I couldn't talk to them.
Speaker 1I didn't understand what they were saying, because you I, thinking back to me at that age, like yeah, we were probably dumb too. But like definitely, but I wouldn't have walked up to someone in that position and like hey, man, you'd be like hello sir no, I'm not.
Speaker 3I'm not on your side that you were not that dumb. I feel like the kids nowadays are much dumber than we were when it comes to social smarts, but I I guarantee you weren't.
Speaker 1I don't know, I think it's easier to think that we weren't now, but I think we were all stupid when we were, obviously. But it's just.
Speaker 3We were stupid.
Speaker 1It's very different, like I think the lack of respect is huge, just for adults in general. Adults in general, like kids don't care.
Speaker 2Let me ask you this Because your kid's almost in high school. She is going to grade nine this year.
Speaker 1Sorry your son, he is grade five, six next year.
Speaker 2Okay, so two more years. I was listening to a podcast today with Mike Baker, okay, and he was saying that like wokeism is just like dead on arrival in high school, like the high school kids are just, you know, just using like the retard and like just like saying like really not pc words, which I was thinking I was like, ah, like of all the high school kids I've interacted, I feel like that's actually kind of true. Like high school is where wokeism is dying right now. Is that true?
Speaker 1I don't know if that's true. I, I I'm not sure, actually I have no idea. I think that I think that, yeah, I can't really speak to that. I don't really know. I I don't haven't noticed it with my, with my daughter's friends, like they they're pretty, um, like I heard that they've talked about like pronouns and stuff before, because they have a friend they have. There's lots of kids in the school who, like are going through whatever, and so they're respectful for that. Of that I think, or at least they say they are, or they try to be.
Speaker 2I don't know is it wrong to tell your kid not to be respectful of furries?
Speaker 1I think you tell the kids that you should, people should live how they want to live but until it affects you, until yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah, yeah, I exactly and treat everyone nicely, unless they're dicks to you then who cares?
Speaker 3I have a funny story about kids, about my kid is this the story you had?
Speaker 1it was an interesting thing.
Speaker 3So there's a bit of backstory in about a minute.
Speaker 1Then we do a check after that yes, we're using a brand new SD card today, so we're going to tell the story. Hopefully it gets recorded, and then we'll check to see whether it recorded I think, I think we should maybe check first and tell the story. Yeah it's I really want to share.
Speaker 2I really want to share with you guys.
Speaker 3I find I find it's quite funny to my, to myself.
Speaker 1My wife didn't find it so funny okay so we're going to hype this up and prolong this and then be very disappointed when he tells us.
Speaker 3It's going to be terrible, it's going to be terrible.
Speaker 1So we're going to take a quick pause here and check to see that this is recording, because we don't want to redo this.
Speaker 3Good write speed on it, though. Up to 200 megabytes a second, yeah Praise.
Speaker 1Odin, it recorded, yes.
Speaker 2Who's?
Speaker 1Odin. He is the god of somebody.
Speaker 3He's the dad.
Speaker 1He's Zeus' dad no.
Speaker 3No is he, the god of Thor. He's Thor's dad, if only we had a way to look this up. Thor and Loki. Is that what it is? Yes, odin Is Anthony Hopkins in the movie. Yes, with the eye patch. Yes, that's Odin. Odin, you were right.
Speaker 2Oh he praising the god of war and death. Why not? It seems like a good one.
Speaker 3I feel like there's other gods we can praise. He's got one eye.
Speaker 2What about the god of like? What is it called, when you sit around with all the grapes and stuff like that?
Speaker 3Man. Greek mythology is so cool. No, greek mythology is cool, he sacrificed his eye, so we can see Hedonism, the god of hedonism.
Speaker 2Can you look up the god of hedonism, please.
Speaker 3I don't know if I should. Yes, All right, I'd like to know who the god is. I'd like to praise the god of hedonism. I'm just going to Google hedonism, because that's going to.
Speaker 1No, look up god of hedonism.
Speaker 3No, I'm just going to.
Speaker 1Google hedonism Dionysus.
Speaker 3Praise Dionysus.
Speaker 1Yes and Odin.
Speaker 3Yeah, it's a sensual.
Speaker 2God is what it says I suspect that Dionysus and Odin have a lot of things in common. Hedonism leads to death and war.
Speaker 1Maybe or just enjoyment.
Speaker 2No no. I don't think so I think we've covered this off Maybe.
Speaker 1But what do we know? We're not gods H, god, hedonism is not the answer. Uh, do you ever see those greek mythology so cool? Yeah, did you ever see those resorts, the?
Speaker 3hedonism resorts. That's why I didn't, that's why I was just gonna google hedonism is that where everybody smashes everybody else's wife?
Speaker 2yeah, that's, it's uh ah, man, there's.
Speaker 3There was a guy they interviewed. Do you remember that the clip? No, all the, they're anything. This old guy, this hedonism resort he's like, oh, it's just all the bumping and grinding. No, it's like a meme.
Speaker 1I feel like there's hedonism resorts for singles and for couples and you have to pick the right one.
Speaker 3What if you pick the wrong one? How does that work?
Reflections on Jealousy and Evolution
Speaker 2You're a couple at a singles resort. Yeah, oh, this is awkward. I think that's a problem. If you look up hedonism, I heard he's a good guy. He's a good guy. A good guy, do you?
Speaker 1think Dan Blazarian is happy. Yes, no, no, well, maybe. But I guess here's the question If he can do what he does consistently and he is happy, if that's his lifestyle for the rest of his life, that says kind of a lot about him as a person. I would say you're a pretty shallow person, yes, true, yeah. So maybe I think you could be happy at that if you were a really shallow person and that's all you cared about but if you're a really shallow person, does anybody, like nobody, want to be around you?
Speaker 1oh well, people want to be around him.
Speaker 2For some reason, you have money I don't.
Speaker 3You have money they interviewed one of the uh, one of his like girls, I guess whoever would follow him around.
Speaker 2One of his concubines.
Speaker 3Yeah, there's a podcast. There's three of them on there and a couple other girls and, like this guy interviewer, it's like a nice, it's a round table pod. It's really interesting. Anyway, they said he's very happy and what you see on like Instagram, like that's what he is and that's like he lives that lifestyle.
Speaker 2It thing for social media, all that kind of stuff see to be fair, I don't follow dan blazerian on instagram, yeah, but I feel like, like the life that he leads that I picture in my head, I would just get tired yeah, like at what point? Like bro, don't you just want to like, not hang out with bitches and ride on boats all day?
Speaker 3I should. Maybe you know, don't you want to just go up or something, don't you just?
Speaker 1want to go home and like lay on the couch and talk to your wife and like have your kids yell at you and, like you know, sweep the floor and clean the toilets and stuff what's wrong with you?
Speaker 2yeah, and just like continue to be poor and broke.
Speaker 3Yeah average it would get old. It's one of those things that would get old it would.
Speaker 1I would think yeah, it would again, I think it would to certain people, but other people are wired differently and it's completely. They probably don't care, they probably think it's awesome.
Speaker 2Or he's riddled with anxiety and depression and just medicates it with cocaine and hookers, Right yeah okay, which makes him happy?
Speaker 1It just makes him happy.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3He's not hurting you. He's not hurting you.
Speaker 2You're just a little jelly, that's okay, okay, I am a little jelly A little bit of his money and such. I don't want to be jelly. Yeah, I don't want to be jelly.
Speaker 3My neighbor got a new truck. Oh, they're keeping up with the Joneses.
Speaker 2What kind of truck? A brand new fucking Ford Raptor.
Speaker 1Oh, have you ever driven one of those? They're so nice, aren't they?
Speaker 3He owned one back then. Apparently, they're pretty nice.
Speaker 2So neighbor got a brand new Ford Raptor and immediately I'm just like. I feel this feeling of like jealousness. How much does it go for these days, dude? Like more money than you should be spending on a vehicle? Like 150? I bet you like 130, 120. It's more than you should be spending on a vehicle. Yeah, $30, $120? Jeez, that's more than you should be spending on a vehicle. Yeah, but my immediate first reaction is fucking jealousy, which is a disgusting emotion. Yeah, it's not very useful. It's completely useless.
Speaker 1I don't think it's any good. Well, is it useless? I don't think it's useless.
Speaker 3No, I don't think it's useless. I think there's an evolutionary reason. Primitive-wise it's not, Maybe. Oh, look at all the meat he's providing for his family. I need to you know what I mean. Like that kind of a thing.
Speaker 2Look at that nice meat he has. Yeah, look, oh, he killed a lion. Yeah, he's got good meat. Okay, well, don't make it weird. Don't make it weird, wow.
Speaker 3But I think you're right Primitively, envy and jealousy is probably a good thing in a way in humans to do something more potentially.
Speaker 1Maybe if you label it, I guess on the good side of it right, it's obviously probably pros and cons. On the pro side, I think there'd be an evolutionary reason to it to say to yeah, to drive you to be better, to try to get that thing that they have right but in today's hedonistic society where his raptor is not going to get him any closer to the meat, then it's going to get me.
Speaker 3I might get closer to some meat I like what you did there, by the way, anyway, yeah um, I just, I don't know I don't.
Speaker 2I was like. I saw it, I felt the jealousy and then immediately was like oh, this is a disgusting emotion, but that's good.
Speaker 1That's a good recognition of yourself to be like it's good to to feel it, because you can't. Here's the thing feelings. Where does that come from? Right? It's not. You didn't want to be jealous so it popped into your head. It was a thing that you didn't want to happen, but it was a feeling. You recognize it. You're like this is stupid. I shouldn't feel this way. I'm not saying it didn't stop you from feeling that way, but it was like a recognition of it. Where'd that come from? That's dumb. I don't want to feel that way. Move on, how many?
Speaker 3good, some people would have saw that truck and then went and bought a new truck you know what I mean.
Speaker 210 years ago. Yes, yes, yes that's, that's what.
Speaker 1That's what's weird about this whole idea of, like, well, trust your feelings thing, right, because it's kind of complete bullshit. Because your feelings are, they're sometimes completely the opposite of what you want to be or who you are, but, and you can't help it, it just happens and you're just like what? What I don't want to be grumpy today. Why am I grumpy? And it's just like. You have to like, recognize this feeling and move on.
Speaker 2But it's so weird, like you know, when you wake up and you're just pissed off, yeah, yeah, like for no reason. You just wake up and like fuck everyone and fuck everything.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah I don't know why.
Speaker 2No, it happens I remember starkly and I granted, you and I were both kind of in a dark time, but do you remember, like four or five years ago, you and I both walking down the hallway at the nursing home in the basement? Yeah, and we both took with each other and we're just like yeah, it was just like that recognition of like I fucking hate everyone and everything yeah, there's a dark time there.
Speaker 3Yeah, but we were in it together. And that brought. It brings people closer when you're in the muck together. Right.
Speaker 2It does. It's just weird the feeling it comes out of nowhere it does. Yeah, Like, where does it?
Speaker 1come from, just like thoughts, yeah.
Speaker 3Thoughts.
Speaker 1Okay, are we going to your story now?
Speaker 3This actually ties into the story.
Speaker 1Okay, here we go.
Speaker 3Like perfectly, but you would have had more experience with this, obviously, than I have had, and CJ would not have had any yet but will probably in the future. So in 1994, the movie Flintstones came out.
Speaker 1Yep, I remember you remember that?
Speaker 3Do you remember Halle Berry in the Flintstones? If you don't, I've pulled up a picture, as she was my crush. Okay let's see With Halle Berry and the Flintstones. Yep, she's beautiful still. Oh, I remember Right In the Flintstones she was very hyper-sexualized. She was essentially supposed to flirt and distract Fred Flintstone so he would sign documents and have all the workers at the quarry fire.
Speaker 2Okay, who Fred Flintstone was. What's his name? John Fred Flintstone was. What's his name? John Goodman. Yeah, and then.
Speaker 3Rick Moranis was Barney, I think, anyway. So when I was nine, halle Berry was my crush, okay, and so that would have been when I was about. Actually, it would have been about when I was like 10 or 11. Anyway, so we're like, oh, you know what we should do? We should watch Flintstones with our family, because my wife's like, yeah, she liked a lot of the movie when I was a kid. So just just to preface this, my boy right now is nine.
Speaker 3So there's a scene, the first scene, and she's in the flintstones where she, she really distracts fred with like a very sexy walk and she's wearing this loincloth thing. It's, it's super hypersexualized for a pg movie. Anyway, when that happens, I turn my head and I look at my boy. So he had I've never seen this in him. He was sitting there, we're just all eating pizza, watching the movie and then all of a sudden he kind of curled his. Do you ever watch those videos? Like new kids when they have pizza for the first time, or like root beer and they're trying to contemplate if they like this thing or not, and it's that.
Speaker 2Look on their face.
Speaker 3He had that. So they tap my wife. I look hey, hey, hey, hey, just looks. She's like I'm not fucking ready for this. But he had this thing where he's trying to figure out what he's feeling. You could see it in his face and I was like holy shit, like 10, 11, 9. That's the area where they start to be interested and I don't know how to.
Speaker 1Just let it go. You just let it happen, Just let it buck. I mean nothing you can do.
Speaker 3But the weird shared experience that I've had when I was a boy with Halle Berry. My son, I believe, has had with Halle Berry and I'm just like, oh God, Yep, Do I talk to him about this or do you just?
Speaker 2let it happen and see what happens. In like 15 years you got to leave it alone.
Speaker 3Not about our, our shared like of a certain person, but hey, son you like that loincloth?
Speaker 2don't you weird.
Speaker 1Uh, I think I've been sending my wife, just don't let him watch hally berry and swordfish that was, that was a big deal.
Speaker 3Some say it was a double no, don't tell me that could have been a double no I don't know.
Speaker 1Uh, I think there's nothing you can do about it. I think you ride, but you just also have to. I think. I think you still have to restrict, obviously, content and not get crazy with what movies they're watching, are allowed to watch, or because I think it's important to like monitor that as much as possible I mean he plays like chess online and stuff like, and it's through a browser.
Speaker 3And now we we're like, oh well, we have to now do all this net secure, like all the security stuff and the browser safety and all that now.
Speaker 1So I need to because of Halle Berry. I need to be better at that. Yeah, I do too.
Speaker 3Okay, I do too, but uh, so so that's happened in my life and I don't know how to handle it. Yeah, I don't know, man, just gonna let it happen. Hopefully my wife has to talk nothing there's nothing to do?
Speaker 1I don't think I. I think school, I don't know, it depends on school. I think they do a decent job at uh, sex education. I mean, I mean, I have no idea, maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 3We had to sign a permission slip so you could go to that this year, like they said, and they gave us the topics they're covering.
Speaker 1I'm like, oh, this is actually so what we actually what we did was, um, my wife bought there's these books you buy and I can't think of the name of them, but they're different for different ages and there's like an introduction and they're very like biological, like science-based. This is what this is, um, I can't. I'll try to think of the name of them, but there's again, there's different ages and they get more um advanced.
Speaker 1for the older ones, obviously, and even when my daughter was I don't even know eight maybe there's like there's a one for like seven to eight, eight year olds, seven to nine year olds, and it kind of starts with the birds and the bees and explains the biology of males and females and in like a appropriate level for that age, and then there's a one that's for older kids that goes into a bit more detail and but like they actually were very I would like to know the name of the company that made those books, because I feel like that's a good thing.
Speaker 1I'll find out. Actually, you can probably have them, because we still have those ones.
Speaker 3I don't know if I want your secondhand sex ed book.
Speaker 1But it was actually very good because, like she would read, they would like sit down at night before bed and they would just kind of read like a little chapter and if she had any questions they'd do it with her. So if she had any questions she could answer them and, uh, that's kind of how she did it with with our daughter.
Speaker 2So that's what I'm gonna do. Yeah, what age?
Speaker 1is grade four uh, that would be about nine, yeah that's where, that's where he's at.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, okay, why why there's I'm just trying to think of, like that was the age when I started sex ed.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's what they.
Speaker 2yeah, I think like grade six is like the first time I can acutely remember thinking a girl is attractive.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Right, like a girl in my class, april. What was her last name? O'neal? No, fuck, mcnulty.
Speaker 3I think were you watching the Wire? Yeah, hey, I was just going to say hey, mcnulty.
Speaker 2I think that was her name.
Speaker 3Was that your first crush? Yeah.
Speaker 2Do you remember your first date? Sadly? Yes.
Speaker 3I do too it was fucking terrible. Well, I want to hear your story, did you?
Speaker 1remember your first date? Not really, but I have to say I from a young age was into girls Like, yeah, you were yeah, we get it.
Speaker 3You're young age was into girls like yeah.
Speaker 1you were like yeah we get it, you're straight way to go. No, like like I'm talking like grade one grade two no, you were dude.
Speaker 3Oh, you were dude I I legit.
Speaker 1Remember, like on the, on the, like the schoolyard, we would play like trying to like catch the girls and kiss them like really yeah, my kids play that too.
Speaker 3Right, but it was like.
Speaker 1But I and I remember specifically, like there's I, I grew up with the same, I grew up in small town with the same people from grade one to grade 12 and like I remember, specifically in grade one and grade two with, like, these girls in my class that were like I, like, liked them, I was like, oh yeah were they?
Speaker 3were they your age?
Speaker 1like yeah, they're in my grade, yeah, oh so but like I remember that and it's weird because I about I think now to like my kids and unless I'm oblivious, I don't think they really did had that. Yeah Well the hidden puberty in grade one Joe.
Speaker 3It wasn't puberty, it was just. I don't know what it was.
Speaker 1It was just, I guess it was weird about it. I'm thinking back and I'm like he's already shaving.
Speaker 3No, but like I got, I got like married in and you were doing like.
Speaker 1You remember those stupid things where you do those like, uh, those like mash, like I don't even know what.
Speaker 3Yes, and you're like who do?
Speaker 1who are you gonna marry?
Speaker 3and who are you gonna like? Where is it where you live? Yeah, something weird. I don't know your salary. Is that the thing with the thing? No, you know it's a. You write it out. It's a game you'd use.
Speaker 1You all you remember vaguely remember you use your names and then the amount of like vowels. I don't remember how it worked, but it was like again. But you were thinking about it and you're always thinking about. Oh, you like that girl and you like that boy.
Speaker 3I remember crushing like yeah on girls when I was like I think younger, like yeah, that for sure was me, I for sure was younger, like that's what then my kids?
Speaker 1I think I've ever really, unless again, unless I'm oblivious to it, whichever very well could, but but here's the thing.
Speaker 3Did your parents know like? I think so maybe, maybe this is the same for you. I think so I don't think my parents knew I had a crush on hallie berry I know my boy does but that's it. You know, I'm aware. Yeah, it's weird, I don't know.
Speaker 2All right, first date cj okay, so I'm gonna, I'm gonna back this up a little bit. So my, you grew up in a small town. You went to the same school, the same people, for 12 years, which I think could be like really good or really bad, depending on how your social experience goes.
Speaker 3Yeah, for sure there's two girls in my class, and one of them was my cousin and I dated the other one, so it didn't go that well. For me like 80, great selection anyway because I went to a high.
Speaker 2I went to an elementary school and then my parents moved me to a different junior high. Um, or we moved, or whatever. So, like, the group of kids I went through elementary with was not then the same group that went to junior high, yep, you know what I mean and then they moved me to. We moved again to a different high school. So the group of kids, so like it's actually really tough for a kid to like integrate into social circles, like right you know, all the people we work with that they move a lot right.
Speaker 1It'd be fucking hard yeah, every like three years you gotta find all the friends and who already are connected they're already friends, they already You've been getting friends outside of work.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, if you're moving to, it would be impossible, oh God yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, because it would just be all the people you work with. Yeah.
Speaker 3Anyway, just kidding.
Speaker 2Anyway. So my first date was at the Old Spaghetti Factory. I liked that place, and then I thought we were dating as a result of going on a date. Apparently, that's not how that works. There has to be a stated like. This is a thing now To which there was a rude realization or a way Did she cheat on you? No, only one of us thought we were dating. And that was you, and that was me Sad she is now a news anchor for a major metropolitan city news service.
Speaker 2That's hilarious. Yeah, so that was fun that was it.
Speaker 1Was it awkward or was it like a good date?
Speaker 2oh, it was okay. We went to the old spaghetti factory and then we went to a theater how old were you?
Speaker 3what was the movie?
Speaker 2it was like grade 10 it was like pretty old, so you were driving? No, no, dad was still driving grade 10. Yeah bro, I was pretty old.
Speaker 1Dude, that's not old for a date, first date. You think you're fine. I don't know.
Speaker 3My first date was the Titanic movie which came out.
Speaker 2I think I was oh actually that wasn't my first date.
Speaker 3Okay.
Speaker 2My first date was also at a movie. Oh and that and then a. Nickelback concert.
Speaker 3Oh, perfect, that's a sweet date yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3All right. Do you hold hands and stuff?
Speaker 2I don't remember.
Speaker 3You took her to a concert.
Speaker 2Hopefully you get some hand holding. My dad was there. Oh, that's well yeah that's tough.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's tough. Yeah. Titanic came out in 97, so it would have been can't do math. Yeah, so it would have been 12 or 13 when I went on my first date.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's legit which is?
Speaker 3what grade is that? Oh, that's like seven eight yeah yeah, I don't remember much from the date. I remember we had a quick kiss at the end and our parents had to drive us there and back. And then I had my hand around her, but it was like resting on the seat and the and the friend behind me took my hand and kind of threw it on her shoulder, so it was touching her as opposed to just on her back and uh, and I was like, yeah, smooth, all right, and that that was that.
Speaker 3And she yeah, she and I and I still had like we only dated like once or twice and then I started crush on her the entire time in high school. She was she's just a beautiful woman, though. She's awesome and still friends like and all that stuff.
Memories of Young Love
Speaker 2She's super cool it's such an awkward period of time in your life, but that's the best I know. But at the time, it's terrible. It is terrible and looking back you're like, oh yeah, that was awesome because it meant nothing, but at the time it means so much that, like you, can't even objectively enjoy it.
Speaker 1Yeah, your emotions are just weird.
Speaker 2Because, like, because now that I'm thinking about it like in that, like grade seven to nine range, like like same thing. You know, you like watch a movie like my neighbor's house, we go over to her house and like watch a movie, and like you'd be like, oh, I'm gonna hold hands, like that's the greatest thing ever right, that that's how you're so nervous that anxiety and nervousness that we probably don't wouldn't get anymore if we all had to start dating again I don't know, I don't want to do that.
Speaker 2I, I do not want to do that. Oh my god, torture, what's your?
Speaker 3what's your little grade three? Grade three date I'm literally so it's.
Speaker 1It's like I said I, I, I can't, I can't differentiate in my mind, like when my first day would have been I. It's weird. I can remember weird things, like from grade one. I remember, uh, so this girl named cassandra uh, we actually still talk every once in a while because she's a teacher uh, she, we were friends like basically all through my growing up, like she's known me. She knew me basically from the time I started school until graduation and uh, but in grade one I had a crush on her and I remember that we had like this reading things and if you finish reading quickly, you could go play in the play something over there.
Speaker 1And we ended up finished reading together or something, and then we ended up like cuddling under the table, like it sounds so weird, like thinking about it, because I did that actually happen in like a classroom, I don't know anyway, uh, it's so strange. And then, but then, like so, but I basically end up the girl I end up dating in high school are grade nine or nine. I basically dated till first year university and but I can't remember like a date, a first date that we did went on or anything like that. So we dated from like I feel like grade maybe nine or ten, I can't even remember.
Speaker 1And all the way to like, first year university crashed and burned, shocking when we moved from a small town to you have university of calgary, uh, and then yeah and then from there I remember I remember like first dates, like after that point, because it was different people in like different situations that were like so foreign to me. Uh, the girl I dated after that. I remember that. And then there's like things that I can remember after that but because it was like kind of such a blended long period of time during high school, like I can't remember like when with the first date would have been yeah, I remember quite.
Speaker 3I remember quite a bit. What's your worst date memory? I haven't had a catastrophic. As you know, I tend to over plan a lot so I haven't had oh, I did have one. I had a catastrophic failure. I did have one.
Speaker 1I had a catastrophic failure.
Speaker 3Let's hear it On a date and it wasn't my fault, it was. I was like ah, 1920. It was about the country bar that used to be here. I met a girl and I got her phone number, which you had at that time.
Speaker 2You had to fucking write down, or just make sure you didn't forget it and repeat it in your head.
Wild Nights and Bar Fights Memories
Speaker 3And then. So I had my friend drop me off at her house the following day and he was kind of a prankster, and so he dropped me off in the house the following day. And we never like the night at the Ezzy's or whatever. We didn't hook up or anything, I just literally danced a bit, exchanged numbers. Next day he drops me off, he walks to the door with me and I'm'm like what the fuck is going on.
Speaker 3So, bro, get back in your fucking yeah and like he just dropped me off at the house my car was in the shop, I remember that and she opens the door and she says hi, and they know each other a little bit, or whatever. And he's like, all right, cool, well, see you later. And then he reached in his pocket oh, this asshole. And he grabbed a pack of condoms and he threw it at me and then walked away and and I couldn't recover emotionally from that and it was super awkward.
Speaker 1Was she there when she did the condoms? Oh, right in front of her. Right in front of her. I thought she hadn't been there, yet this was his prank that he was playing.
Speaker 3That's pretty funny, but I'm glad he did that, because that date did not go well. And then I met my wife like a month or two after that.
Speaker 2So thank you. Did it not go well because of the condoms?
Speaker 3yeah, it's not not a good start. Well, what if you played off? You could have thrown them back and made a mom joke.
Speaker 1Yeah, that guy's an idiot.
Speaker 2Your mom will need these later tonight, or something like that.
Speaker 3You know what I'm going back 20 years.
Speaker 1I'm gonna make it happen. If I make a time machine, I'm going back to that what it is.
Speaker 2It is, yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1There's I protecting you from danger. I feel like I have a better like. I feel like I should know, have a good reason why that's the case, because I know I've read about it, but I can't think of it off the top of my head. I remember that, but that's why like because that's why, like everything, we thrive off of negative things. Like that's why tiktok uh, twitter, all these things like just thrive on negative emotions. Because the negative things that draw that out of you, your neighbor's truck, yeah neighbor's trucks that kind of thing.
Speaker 3What's your bad date?
Speaker 2I've never to be honest, I've not like had bad dates. However, I do. The first time I ever got drunk, I was hanging out with a girl and I thought, thought I didn't realize what alcohol was, and I drank the majority of a two, six of Jack Daniels. So our date lasted about 20 minutes after that and then I had to go promptly go home for the next two days. How old are you, oof like 16.
Speaker 1I think that's when I started drinking and stuff, maybe like 15 or something. I didn't drink until I was like 20. Dead, serious, what. Didn't have a drink until I was like 20 years old.
Speaker 3That's going in the notes. That's going in the minutes. Are you serious?
Speaker 1100%. Yeah, like I said, I grew up super religious and I just didn't have any interest. I had opportunity to, you'd go to like friend's house and they're drinking. I just was like, nah, I'm good. And then uh, yeah, but then the funny thing is like, uh, when I got turned 20, then I kind of started drinking. I remember the first time I got drunk was at the den at ufc and it was kind of ridiculous and I think I puked every single time I drank for like the first dozen times, like it just I just didn't know.
Speaker 3I just didn't know when to stop.
Speaker 1I know, I just didn't know when to stop. It was like, let's just keep going. I feel great, this is awesome, and then by the time it's just you know, the world starts spinning and it's too late.
Speaker 2Yeah, and you know what? The first thing I ever had to awesome.
Speaker 3Do you split it? No, I don't know. Actually split the bottle.
Speaker 2We're at his mom's house.
Speaker 3I don't, I don't know you're sneaking alcohol from your parents. You ever watered down?
Speaker 2uh no, my, my parents also were not big drinkers. I don't think so, like they never really noticed I snuck some alcohol yeah I just yeah I.
Speaker 3I could not get as drunk as I was, you know, when you were like 18 and something and not even college man like yeah, and you're like 18 and something, well, like you've been in college man, yeah, and you're drinking the crappiest beer.
Speaker 1How do you afford it too? Like I don't look back to that. We drank like Boxer.
Speaker 2Justice Nation was much less back then, big Bear.
Speaker 3Big Bear was another one. I think we drank.
Speaker 1What was Lucky Lager?
Speaker 3Lucky Lager was terrible, we drank that.
Speaker 1I feel like you would go out to the bar and you could like get drunk off 20 bucks and there's no way.
Speaker 2I remember like Well, they still have 25 cent draft, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3Remember the pints or the not the yeah pints or the jugs. You can get the jugs from. There were like a $4 jugs from the country bar. Yeah, and it was like four shots and you just it was you know, and it was so much fun it was. It wasn't necessary.
Speaker 2It was necessary in your life to do that at that point and it was all like these weird social groups of people that overlapped or like clashed. Occasionally people would get bottled in the head, yeah, or stabbed.
Speaker 1Were you lucky. Oh, do you remember the fights? I was never around that.
Speaker 2How dumb were the fights.
Speaker 3They were so dumb and nobody knew how tearing shirts.
Speaker 1I don't know if I was just purely lucky, but I can remember one bar fight that I was around when I was out at bars, just one. That was a university Halloween one, I remember. I don't know. My group of friends obviously weren't like that. We must have got lucky. I have no idea. We were at the roadhouse every single night the group we would go with.
Speaker 3There's a couple of them that always wanted to like they would. The night wouldn't be good if we didn't fight there was one time we would, there's no fights. And it was like this is a great night because I didn't like it, and then like it in his face without even trying it, because he didn't get the chance to fight that night and this was his chance. Like what the fuck are you doing? Wow?
Speaker 2god, people are dumb. I also don't recall a ton of bar fights, but I had a group of friends in college around second year college that just loved to fight like and yeah, the problem with bar fights is not everybody's playing by the same rules exactly and these guys would just want to throw down.
Speaker 1They're like, bro, like just anyone gotta stab you, or usually one person, just like just a completely cold cox, to do it out of nowhere and like this, like just didn't get me out to see it coming and then that guy's like screwed yeah it's bizarre and in fact one of those guys remember the guy I told you about in the podcast that didn't record that got in the plane crash.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, he was one of those guys.
Speaker 2Like we would just go to the bar and he just, and he was just, he was like a tough Northern Canadian that just likes to fight and drink.
Speaker 3Well, it toughened him up enough that he survived the plane crash. I'm kidding, I guess it was good for him yeah, it's weird, man do you miss, do you miss it I, I miss it, it's one of those things.
Speaker 2You couldn't do it today you couldn't do it today with, if you could go back to like way less responsibilities, way less give a shit about your body and your health, yeah, and then maybe you could do it. Yeah, right, because I remember, I remember my body couldn't handle it now that's oh no, we'd all die day two you'd be dead.
Speaker 1But that's what the problem is saying. You miss it because it makes it sound like you would do it again.
Speaker 3I would like to experience just a stupid night like that again.
Speaker 1Would you no at your age right now?
Speaker 3No no, but like, no, but I, I like. This is like a Freaky Friday thing where I transform. We did that a year ago, a year and a half ago. When.
Speaker 2Easy's bachelor party.
Speaker 3Yeah, we did and that was a blast.
Speaker 2That was a good time actually.
Speaker 3But that was like I drank, but I didn't drink a ton.
Speaker 1We drank quite a bit and, surprisingly, I felt good the next day.
Speaker 2Yeah, but I had fun and it wasn't like the stressful like go to the bar when you're in your late teens.
Speaker 1It was like a bunch of dudes in their adult years who generally make good decisions.
Speaker 2Yeah, even even under the influence. Yeah, because, like, at no point are you like oh, I'm worried, like jason's gonna start pushing people and here we're gonna go.
Speaker 1Yeah, exactly, but that's why it's like you have to that's why I think it's interesting I think because people, because as much as like I trust all of you.
Speaker 1it's like I've unless you've been around someone who's drunk sometimes, you never know they might be the people that go crazy when they get drunk and we know some people like that, yeah, but it's weird because it's like, for whatever it is, the alcohol affects them in a way that they just get angry or mean or whatever. I just get like I want to hug everybody and it's weird, but like part of you is like is that their real personality?
Speaker 2Oh, I think so, man, because, like most of our friends, it's no change or an amplification of the silliness. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, but you like the angry drunks, you're like. I think you're just an asshole.
Speaker 1So this is why, like I think, maybe from when you hire people for position standpoint- you got to get drunk with them, just get them drunk.
Speaker 3You should take them out and see who they become. This is something you could institute in the current job you're in right In the nursing home.
Speaker 2Buddy, I actually think that's a great idea. It is. I don't know why I just called you buddy, it is no, but I've thought this forever. It is a great idea, especially for our job.
Speaker 1Like if we just go out and get everyone just blasted one night.
Speaker 3Yeah, and then see who? Well, because it relaxes their inhibitions.
Speaker 2Yeah and oh, this is a brilliant idea.
Speaker 3I think we should probably have a tester with the current young people that you're overseeing.
Speaker 2Here's a million-dollar business idea. You might actually need to bleep this out. Okay, so we run a headhunting company for businesses, but what we do is like fucking legit job interviews.
Speaker 1I know, I know exactly where you're going.
Speaker 2Yeah, yes. So we fucking legit job interviews, like I know, I know exactly where you're going, so we could say, like he's a good dude, you want to hire him, or like no, no, he becomes an asshole but the best part is guess who's paying for the alcohol?
Speaker 3the people who hire us? Oh, this is a good idea, this is a great idea there we go, we call it, we're just like legit recruiting legit.
Speaker 1Do you want to know who you're, who you're hiring? Yeah, do you want to know who?
Speaker 3you're really hiring exactly I. I like it, I I'm in, okay, I mean, I feel like I'm the same you. I feel like you're pretty. This, you're pretty similar. You just get more.
Speaker 1You get more huggy I get more loud, like like talky, which is surprising.
Speaker 2And yeah, I get more like loving and huggy we do work with one person that tried to murder me once.
Speaker 1When they were drinking, but but it was like, was that a fun murder? It?
Speaker 3doesn't narrow it down.
Speaker 2It wasn't fun for me.
Speaker 1I know that but like they thought they were having fun.
Speaker 2Well, there's no fun, like were they smiling and laughing. As they were drowning me in the Dominican. Yes, oh okay.
Speaker 1Well, that's fair. Yes, things like that happen, but, like again, wasn't coming from like an anger no, goodness, no yeah so it's like I'm still good with that that's okay.
Speaker 2I think if you get drunk and angry at the same time, it's time to quit drinking. Yeah, I would.
Speaker 1I would think so the first time, if I, if I the first time I ever got drunk that I became like somebody I hated, I, I don't think. I think you just gotta stop immediately, yeah, yeah, if you're the guy who has to, you say well, no, it's, your excuse is oh, I was drunk, like I know I did. I'm really sorry, I was drunk which is such a bullshit.
Effects of Alcohol and Roofies
Speaker 2Excuse completely.
Speaker 3But but but we've all I've kind of done that and I think we all kind of have is like if you go to a party or something like that and you just drink a lot and you, just, you, just you make good decisions, but you just kind of, you're kind of an idiot you might say something stupid the next day.
Speaker 1You always kind of feel a little bit of like oh fuck, was I an asshole last night.
Speaker 2That kind of a thing I haven't had that in a long time. You go camping with your friends and you go skinny dipping and the next morning like oh, I can't believe I did that. I was so drunk like no, like I knew what I was doing yeah, you knew you were naked in the water 100 and I enjoyed you all watching me do it my tiny white ass running into that lake, yeah, I don't know, I it's I think it's a really convenient excuse, but it's also very shallow, true, and that's a good point to be fair, I.
Speaker 1But I never believed, until it happened to me, that people actually don't remember what happens after the drink, like yeah I honestly I honestly thought that was complete bs until mexico trip. One time 2011 me Mexico trip Took tequila and I literally don't remember from some point in time until waking up in the morning.
Speaker 2I don't like the way you said took tequila. I took it, that was weird, it's not a drug I drank it.
Speaker 3I ingested some tequila. Maybe that's a problem.
Speaker 1I slipped some tequila. Maybe that's why I don't remember it, but that was the first time I ever literally could not remember from a period of time till the morning yeah, I've only blacked out once too, and it is bizarre, so weird.
Speaker 2I I actually, uh was with a girlfriend of mine at the bar once when she got roofied. Oh god, oh wow, that was wild.
Speaker 3Yeah, like zero to a hundred crazy really oh, like and like and you obviously didn't like you didn't know, or like there wasn't other girls in the air. Like I got roofied too. It was just like what is wrong with you right now, that kind of a thing. It was like I was like it was like you didn't know, or like there wasn't other girls in the air. Like I got roofie too. It was just like what's wrong with you right now.
Speaker 2It was like I was like it was like you're having a good time and all of a sudden I'm like that's not, something is wrong and, and to her credit, she's like we need to leave right now. And I'm like fucking no, kidding. Uh, and by the time, like probably two hours later, it was like pretty good, and I was like what the hell happened. She's like yeah, I think I got roofie. I'm like yeah, but it's just like so does she not remember the two?
Speaker 3is that what roofie does you forget it? Well, and like I don't, you get insane.
Speaker 1You basically very persuaded, drunk but and also just like you go from like zero to a hundred, uh, really, really quickly, like you basically were normal and now you're like you, just like you drank all night long like sloppy loser drunk, yeah where it's like control yourself almost.
Speaker 2Oh, like, I, like, I could see, like if people are using that to manipulate or take advantage of people, which obviously they are, it's, it's easy, right, because, like, that person is just a puddle, yeah, just a non-function, and even and even if they said no, they couldn't do anything about it because they're just so messed up.
Speaker 1That's crazy, my uh. So mike the guy listens to this and uh, we're giving a shirt to because we are getting those made soon. Uh, he got roofied at a bar one night and he he said he was like just no, he was like had like one or two beer, went to go take a pee and all of a sudden he started feeling like like he was the drunkest he've ever felt in his life and he's like what the hell happened? And he's like I gotta get out of here and took off. And that's what he think he got roofied.
Speaker 2So or somebody roofied his drink while he stepped away, or something, or and all it takes is like like, ghb is just a liquid, it's a little bottle cap, that's why they have the sleeves for the cups and all that stuff now.
Speaker 1The sleeves. Well, they cover it up.
Speaker 2That's just Bar Safety 101. You just walk around like this.
Speaker 3I never did. No one tried to roofie me. I kind of feel left out. I never even thought of that back in the day.
Speaker 2I don't think you're the prime target.
Developing Anti-Roofie Drug and Barbershop Stories
Speaker 3I thought Mike might have been. Maybe you're talking about him, do they?
Speaker 2make a drug to counteract that, like an anti-roofy.
Speaker 3Yeah, you put your hand on top of the cup.
Speaker 2I don't know if they do Like I've been roofied An antidote, like an antidote. Yeah.
Speaker 1Like I can pop this and be unroofied immediately. I don't know, but we should develop it. We should develop it and start selling it at Roofie yeah.
Speaker 3Yeah, roofie, be gone.
Speaker 1Floreys. How do you?
Speaker 3spell roofie R Roofeline. Okay, that helps me a lot. Thank you for making it more complicated. How do you R GHB?
Speaker 2It's not picking it up. Gamma hydroxybutyrate Butyrate.
Speaker 3Hydroxybutyrate, hydroxybutyrate, there we hydroxybutyrate, there we go. There is no anti-roofy drug currently. It looks like currently being the key word here, and that could be part of our second.
Speaker 1Yeah, we should get some, uh some, vending machines up in bars with the anti-roofies. I know where we can get some just throw those things up and sell them for like a hundred bucks a pop you'd pay for that?
Speaker 2if so, hey, have you been?
Speaker 1we could do an infomercial just hey, have you been roofied? We could do an infomercial. Hey, have you been roofied? Just put your credit card in this machine and we will give you the tap-in.
Speaker 3We can probably charge what we wanted to, because no one's going to remember.
Speaker 2Because they're so shit-faced they're just going to tap their card.
Speaker 1So you've been roofied. How worried are you about this? We'll start the bidding at $100.
Speaker 3That's crazy. There is no instant roofie be gone, there are only two antidotes in this vending machine tonight.
Speaker 1We will start the bidding at $100.
Speaker 3You've got a really good voice for that.
Speaker 2You do. It's like the creepy AI is taking over the world.
Speaker 3Yeah, this is like the Squid Games kind of. I feel like that could be the announcer on that.
Speaker 1I like it. Yeah, people do weird things to each other. Welcome to the flooring.
Speaker 3Yeah, like roofing somebody. Yeah, that doesn't make it fucking crazy People are disgusting. And then would you just carry the person out of the bar, Like what's the plan here?
Speaker 1I legit think they do. I think it's like oh man, this is my friend, I'm just going to take him home, they'll be okay.
Speaker 2Steal him away from the group of friends and do horrible things to them, and I think girls generally based on my recollection of time at the bar do a good job of looking after their friends. Guys, you're kind of a little bit more like a lone wolf.
Speaker 3Yeah, like Mike just takes off. Yeah, I'm going home, guys.
Speaker 2But if we were three chicks and J Balina? Disappeared we'd be like where is she?
Speaker 3We need to find her right now, we'd protect her, and I get that we need to find her right now.
Speaker 1Right, where is she, Guys? Where did she go?
Speaker 3She left for like three seconds ago and I don't know where she is.
Speaker 1Did she go to the bathroom? Why didn't we go with her? Oh my God.
Speaker 3You've got a really good voice for that too, you're welcome.
Speaker 2You're welcome, lena, home. We'd be like um sir. Oh, I've had the friend step in before I remember that at the bar and stuff, you were the guy who was blocked.
Speaker 3Yeah, yes, I was the guy who was blocked. By the rhinoceros by the friend Not specifically.
Speaker 2He kind of usually is the rhinoceros.
Speaker 3Not specifically, but yes.
Speaker 2Yeah, but you didn't try and roofie the chick.
Speaker 3No, this is a different context no, but like, but, but I, you know, I, I, I look like the kind of person did you have all your hair? Yes, I did. It was bleached um. I also gelled up.
Speaker 1I feel like I haven't seen enough pictures of you with hair there's not a lot.
Speaker 3We actually looked.
Speaker 2We were talking about that, the other day you need to look back to 1995 okay, anyway.
Speaker 3Uh, we're talking about that and like at what point you're trying to remember when I gave up on my hair Because we have friends who are also losing their hair and they're going to have to reach that tipping point when it's like, well, I go for haircuts now and the hairdresser looks at me like why?
Speaker 1are you here? Is that kind of a thing? Yeah?
Speaker 3So we have some friends going through that right now. And I had some conversations with them about it conversations with them about it and just you know clippers cost.
Speaker 2Like why aren't you there? Yeah, I agree, why are you there? I'm not there, okay. No, the friends who are also yes yes, no, I am no, no
Speaker 3god, no, no, I I've got haircuts before, like with people in the last couple years, like barber shops and stuff, like for fun. Yeah, I was. I was away in in ottawa for like five weeks and I had to go to a barber shop down uh downtown ottawa maybe get like a hot shave. No, it was the best experience. It was uh in Ottawa for like five weeks and I had to go to a barbershop down uh downtown Ottawa.
Speaker 3Maybe get like a hot shave. No, it was the best experience. It was uh, it was one of those. It was a stereotypical. It was a black barbershop from like the ones you would typically see in, like the movie, the show, the movie barbershop. Have you seen that movie? No, it was C entertainer and something I know the.
Speaker 3I understand a black so I roll into this barbershop it's got, it's got the thing outside that spins or whatever it is. I'm like, okay, I'll just get a nice, just get a buzz. It took him 45 minutes to buzz my hair because he would do a buzz. He would take the broom and brush my hair and then he would just talk shit about everybody else in the barbershop and it was I. I left there and I was like this is the best experience I've ever. I would go back there every week to get my haircut. It was so much fun, interesting, but that's like the last haircut I've had.
Speaker 1Do you watch Luke Cage?
Speaker 3No, Is that what's his name? Michael? No, michael. Jai White no, no, yes.
Speaker 1No, it's not Michael Jai.
Speaker 3White. I feel like it's Michael Jai White.
Speaker 1It is 100% not Michael Jai White. I'm going.
Speaker 3Juice.
Speaker 2Michael.
Speaker 1Jai White is jacked and he's like a martial arts dude, oh, he's got a different face too.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, no kidding, because it's not Michael.
Speaker 1Jai White.
Speaker 3Frick oh, that's definitely not this guy's jacked.
Speaker 2Not like Michael Jai White. Not like Michael Jai White.
Speaker 1Luke Cage only lasted one season, didn't it, yeah, and they did a weird crossover that sucked Marvel, marvel just fucking gave up.
Speaker 2I still like some of it. What do you want? The Avengers 17? The last one was.
Speaker 3They're good movies. Now, you know, space Out the Marvels yeah, was that their fucking?
Speaker 2grandchildren, no it wasn't.
Speaker 3You want a Space Out, you watch one of these movies Kamala Khan.
Speaker 1And Kamala Captain. Yeah, kamala, not Kamala.
Speaker 3Harris, vp Kamala, no, so we got Luke Cage here.
Speaker 1I'm just saying that, like that reminds me, because there was a barbershop like centered around a barbershop as well.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, yeah, it was. I've seen him, you know, you see him in movies and stuff and obviously we don't live in an area like that or whatever. Like it doesn't have a lot of barbershops in here. I think there's like one or two. What Bar? What Barber shops? Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2Stop location doxing us bro. Oh yeah, do we have to do the silence now? No, we don't.
Speaker 1Silence. It's happened so many times, it doesn't matter, all right.
Speaker 3That was like the other radical apathy podcast.
Speaker 1Yeah, it was pretty funny with Mike.
Speaker 3Yeah, I'm not going to say anything by the end of it.
Speaker 1He's just L-dropping everything and just like specific names of people. It's just hilarious.
Speaker 2I don't know why. It matters Whatever. It doesn't If you want to know where we are? Just ask.
Speaker 1What matters, what does matter? What matters in life, you know, that's a good point. Hedonism, it matters, or it's not good. I'm confused, sorry, it's not good. It's not good. I'm confused. Sorry, it's not good, it's not good.
Speaker 3Uh, praise or dionysus, dionysus, dionysus oh, can we find out the proper pronunciation? I was curious about what hedonism. Are you taking notes, are you? I'm actually doing pretty good. I put time stamps in the notes and then I realized that I didn't write down when we started.
Speaker 2So the time stamps are useless because actually just on the subject, can we talk about time stamps for a second?
Speaker 1sure, sure, I'd love to you know what I was hoping tonight that we would talk about 7 42 pm time stamp.
Speaker 2Go ahead cj I'm sorry if you've been reading our titles for this podcast.
Speaker 1No one reads them. But if you do, that's not us, that's the ai that we're just allowing to do our job and they're fucking terrible they are but I don't want to change them because it takes a lot of effort, but now I'm going to go change them every time. Or we just don't use it and we just get creative.
Speaker 2I don't know. Well, no, we don't need to get creative. I think we can just do simple titles, but like, did you read the last one before I changed it for the Zendemic?
Speaker 1Yeah, what it was, but it was the best option of the five. It gives you five options and it was the best one.
Discussion on Carbonated Water and Addiction
Speaker 2Everybody is using ChatGPT now for their shit, are they? Oh yeah, like Adobe? I was trying to update an Adobe subscription for my wife today and they have, like fucking not ChatGPT but the image one. What is it? I don't know Photoshop no like you type in the word prompt and it generates an image. Oh, generative ai yeah, everybody's fucking using it really. Google has it meta, has it your instagram on your phone now?
Speaker 1I saw that. Yeah, I'm like my. What does it do?
Speaker 3I haven't tried it yet my amazon fire stick has it yeah, on the search tried that on your fire you can say, draw a picture of this and it will, you know, generate a picture.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, and they're decent on your instagram if you show like teach me how to like shuck a fucking corn.
Speaker 3That's what, that's the skill, what did you say a fucking corn, that's the skill.
Speaker 1What did you say? A fucking corn? Does it change it? Chuck?
Speaker 3a fucking corn. Can I muck one of your worms there? That's right, be my guest.
Speaker 2Sugar-free. So, fun fact, we're eating sugar-free gummy worms tonight.
Speaker 3To be fair, you're eating sugar-free gummy worms.
Speaker 2Well, you're about to be eating sugar-free gummy worms. Fun fact about this fun fact sugar-free does not mean guilt-free, because these have sugar alcohols in them which are fucking. They're not as bad for you, they're not quite as bad for you, but any but like I think we're being sold a bit of a bill of goods.
Speaker 1Speaking of bill of goods, can we, can I please get you to google why carbonated water is bad for you? Because yeah cj, your wife got me freaked out right before this podcast because I've been drinking bubblies like they are just water lately a lot of them, you and me both and uh, she said something in passing as we shut the door, uh, that they are actually bad for you. And now I'm wondering why and if I should stop drinking them.
Speaker 2I bet you have something to do with your gut health. But like is bubbly? Just can I buy stock and bubbly because I drink enough of it I think you probably can, or is it one of the cola?
Speaker 3it says ingredients are not carbonated water and natural flavor, but natural flavor seems kind of broad, but I mean the only thing, the only downside it kind of says and this is, it's from mayo clinic, so it can't be that bad is that it can tend to cause you to become attracted to the opposite sex by the age of five, five to six.
Speaker 1I think you're looking at the wrong thing, my man.
Speaker 3No, and you weren't drinking bubbly when you were five or six either.
Speaker 2No, it's like literally it doesn't say anything about.
Speaker 1So you said is bubbly bad for you, or what did you look up?
Speaker 3I said, is carbonated water bad for you? And literally no evidence suggests that it's bad for you and literally no evidence suggests.
Speaker 2What does chat gpt have to say about it?
Speaker 1so like yeah, so it's. It's like built those ais are built into search engines. Now, right like uh all of them like microsoft edge. I saw has one.
Speaker 2They keep trying to post it on google's fucking woke one. Show me white nazis and it won't do it uh, yeah, uh, the.
Speaker 1I haven't tried the instagram one, but I saw it.
Speaker 3There it's, it is the same as the facebook. Facebook. Facebook has one too, doesn't it? Facebook? And.
Speaker 2Instagram have the same AI. It's all meta. Oh, that makes sense, but it's like hey, teach me how to roll fucking croissants.
Speaker 1What Do you add? Bucket and double them.
Speaker 3Is it always like roll and then you add the F and rolling croissants that's what he does. That's why he's so busy all the time I got no time.
Speaker 1I got some shucks and corn.
Speaker 2I've tried to think of what like no shit hold up, hold up.
Speaker 3I gotta roll a croissant here. How to change oil? How about?
Speaker 2that why I already know how to do that oh, I get that croissant um, you know, we have no evidence that carbonated no nothing.
Speaker 3If you google that, nothing comes up saying that I'm gonna google it myself. Actually, I'm gonna duck that, go it that's you're gonna get the real results, the real, I don't have. Duck that go I have it on my brave browser there's a eat this, not thatcom has eight side effects about it, and that's about it. What does it calm say? What is what?
Speaker 2examinecom that's where you go to look up uh supplements. Examinecom say what is what? Examinecom, that's where you go to look up supplements.
Speaker 3Examinecom. Yeah, it's really good.
Speaker 2Never heard of that. If you ever want to look up a supplement and see the evidence good, bad or otherwise about it and its efficacy, that's where to go.
Speaker 3And uh, all right Is carbonated, oh, and if it's not?
Speaker 1Is carbonated water bad for you? Eight side effects of drinking it. Before the fizz tickles your schnoz know what you're sipping.
Speaker 2Why is it?
Speaker 3tickling. Oh, this one says, you might gain weight.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's because you're drinking Coke, you, fat fuck.
Speaker 3But then the next point is you may lose weight.
Speaker 2Because you're drinking Bubblies. I don't know. You shredded Adonis, you Okay number one.
Speaker 3He is very shredded here's the eight things.
Speaker 1Number one you'll improve hydration. That's a dangerous sign. I think that's a good thing. I don't really know. Number two you might. I think this is a pro ad. Number two you may enjoy drinking water more.
Speaker 3No, this is sponsored by Big Bubbly. Oh, here we go.
Speaker 1Number three it may bloat your belly. Yeah, I got that one too. It makes it uncomfortable. Or give you IBS. Number three you might gain weight. How is this gaining me weight? Okay, hang on Artificial sweeteners, but this has no sweeteners.
Speaker 3I bet the next point is you might lose weight.
Speaker 1Maybe it is. Are you okay with the same one?
Speaker 3Eat this, not that. Yeah, you're okay with the same one. That's the only one that I can find that had negative things. It might erode your teeth. That sounds bad. Oh yeah, okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 1Carbonated water has a lower pH than regular water and pH may erode tooth enamel. It also can make you more alert. That sounds good to me and may cause health problems. This is very vague the verdict there is little evidence to suggest that drinking carbonated water poses a risk to your health. There we go.
Speaker 2How do we feel about me lipping a zin while I'm sipping on a bubbly?
Speaker 1Can we talk about this?
Speaker 2Yeah, we can talk about whatever you want.
Speaker 3Are you lipping zins now? I've been lipping a few zins, okay, okay, well, how, what's a few?
Speaker 2Like one every three days.
Speaker 1We have a friend who wants to quit.
Speaker 3Isn't he?
Speaker 1We have a friend who wants to quit. No we have a friend that you want to quit. No incorrect. I thought he was quitting.
Speaker 2I thought he was done. Yeah, so did I. Good for him.
Speaker 1But then we have a friend who is trying to influence him in the other direction, not being a very good friend by offering it to him, and giving it to him like this, when he's like an addict who has to just be away from it for a little while. Are you calling me an enabler? I am calling you an enabler.
Speaker 3Are you doing that? He did it.
Speaker 2Enabling, oh, I'm enabling. He did it. You're part of the Zin dynamic and I don't like it.
Speaker 1He was like a week free, and then this guy over here, just the peddler of the Zin, comes on and you know, what Do you?
Speaker 2Yeah, so I'm really upset. That fucking addict was mad at me because I only had two pouches left and he needs two to get high.
Speaker 1Exactly, and I only gave him one, so it didn't even do anything. He stopped, he broke his sobriety, his Zin sobriety, and it didn't even do anything for him.
Speaker 2Tony, if you're working tomorrow, I'll have some Zonics for you.
Speaker 3Don't Pretty soon there'll be one of his vending machines sitting outside, with Zonics in it.
Speaker 1That is actually a really good idea.
Speaker 3You would make a killing at the nursing home.
Speaker 1You could upsell that like crazy. Probably Huh, I don't know if it's allowed. Would it be allowed? Probably not, because the kids can get to it.
Speaker 2Not where mine are, okay.
Speaker 3Oh my God, it's going to happen.
Speaker 2That's amazing.
Speaker 3No, they can't sell that in vending machines. No, they can't. Do you have to go? I?
Speaker 1don't even know where you can buy those. Do you have to ask for them? Are they behind the counter? I?
Speaker 2don't know, because nicotine is not a controlled substance. You know, what I mean. Now there's tobacco.
Speaker 3Nicotine is not like a you can't get Nicorette, the coffee pouches that are just coffee. You have to go behind the counter for those. Oh, fuck what.
Speaker 2Is that because they're scared that you're going to have the habit of like lipping a pouch?
Speaker 3Lipping a Zim while you're shucking some cubs. Sorry, sorry.
Speaker 2Tony can make his own decisions. Okay, he can, but he's like a.
Speaker 3Let's throw his name out there. That's fine, tony, we call him.
Speaker 1Tony, all I. Tony can make his own decisions. Okay, he can, but he was like, let's throw his name out there.
Speaker 3That's fine, tony, we call him Tony all the time. We didn't say, we didn't say Tony, tony's got a Zen problem. No, no, I think he has friends who have a Zen problem.
Speaker 1He and he's expressly, and we're his friends and he's expressly said that he wants to quit and you are not helping him.
Speaker 2To be fair, To To be fair. To be fair To be fair. So far I'm just kind of a Zin mooch. I probably will buy my first tin of Zin tomorrow.
Speaker 3You haven't bought a tin.
Speaker 2Oh no, I just mooch off our other friend TJ.
Speaker 1You just need to stop being me. You just need to stop.
Speaker 2Okay, but Because we wanted to talk about Zins and Bubblies, right, right.
Speaker 1Yeah Well, I don't know, did we?
Speaker 3We're in it now. We've talked about a lot of shit today.
Speaker 1We determined carbonated water is not bad for you, so we're good.
Speaker 3We looked at the nicotine last time Unless there's sweeteners in it.
Speaker 2But here's the deal. I still don't think a Zin is bad for you.
Speaker 3We looked at that last time. Nicotine in general is not that good for you Hardening of the arteries around the walls there? The?
Speaker 1arteries around the walls. There are positives. There are positives in the short term. Initially you got a boost of energy and whatever Alertness, whatever the thing is. But in the long term it's not good for you, it's not good for your heart.
Speaker 3The problem I have with this is you have a very addictive personality when you get into things. You get into things that you like.
Speaker 1Remember that time.
Speaker 2Guess what? I'm going to be triple lipping pretty soon. No, you're going to be quad lipping within a month Penta lipping.
Speaker 1Just fucking duck lips full of zit Remember the time you went to the hospital because you had too much caffeine and thought you were dying.
Speaker 3I was hoping everybody forgot about that, I remember.
Speaker 1Now we're talking about. This is the same thing Now, it's just with nicotine and it's actually probably worse for you.
Speaker 2No, I think a gram of caffeine is worse for you.
Speaker 3I don't think so, I don't know.
Speaker 2Listen, I'm not saying that Zin is good for you, but I'm not not saying that.
Speaker 1Listen, do what you want.
Speaker 2And that's the whole crux of this argument.
Speaker 1Do what you want.
Speaker 3It makes you happy, it's just like the furries, do what you want, but don't let it impact other people's lives.
Speaker 1Do what you want, but no, we're not setting up a litter box in the front engines of a hotel for you.
Speaker 2Like listen, if I start having to liquidate my property to pay for my Zin habit, it's a problem?
Speaker 1Can I have your solar panels if you do that?
Speaker 2Yes, okay.
Speaker 3Now you're a smoker.
Speaker 2Sure, I'm going to be real deep down the zin, the zed hole.
Speaker 3Yeah, but it's going to happen because you get the z-hole. You don't half-ass anything.
Speaker 2That's a good thing.
Speaker 3That's why we love you. I'm going to full-ass my zin you, full-ass everything.
Speaker 1I would even like that's the next thing.
Speaker 3It's quicker to get the system 100%.
Speaker 1Yeah, better absorption, a zin-pository. You should develop a zin-suppository.
Speaker 2You know what's fucked up. People would use that for sure, for sure they do.
Speaker 3I bet it's been done.
Speaker 1I guarantee it, Someone's done it. It's called the Z-shot If we thought about it. Someone's done it.
Speaker 2How fucked up is that? If we've thought about it, I think that's true, yeah, 100.
Speaker 3Has anyone put nicotine up their bum, and then this like vice business insider yes, yes, yes, okay, well, first off, vice.
Speaker 2I don't need like gonzo journalism watching somebody shove nicorette up their ass no I want to know if there's a purpose-made suppository these are from 2023.
Speaker 1I don't think there's anything probably made for it, but I'm assuming everyone will do it. Yeah, young men, stuff by everyone, I mean some people.
Speaker 3Oh and foreskin.
Speaker 1Oh, my God.
Speaker 3Young men stuff niggity pouches up their bums and foreskin.
Speaker 2Why do? Oh God, people will literally put anything anywhere. Yeah, it's got to be something that's. The most frustrating thing is there is Like what, buddy, if I could think of that, we wouldn't be sitting here, right now We'd be sitting on a jet, Maybe that is. The thing is that we think that there's things that like there's nothing else that can be thought of.
Speaker 1No, until somebody else thinks of it. I'm not saying I really think that I think there's the innovation of things that already have been done. You can do it better, maybe, jb.
Speaker 2I'm sorry, I keep calling you buddy, it's all right.
Speaker 3It is kind of weird.
Speaker 1It is weird, all right, pal.
Speaker 3All right guy.
Speaker 1All right guy.
Speaker 3But you're right, I don't think anything. I don't the more I think about it. There's nothing that isn't innovation. Like you said, no one's gonna just do something innovate something, make it better or like, find like something.
Speaker 1That's a little bit of a gap, but, like I'm saying, no one someone's thought of it in the past, for sure until they haven't.
Speaker 2That's the whole thing you know what I'm loving right now, seeing how you can't even open your eyes because the sun's just blinding you. You know, that's how I'm just.
Speaker 1I keep moving clockwise blinds are expensive, but not as expensive as sonic um, yes, drew, if you saved your money from all those Zins, you could buy blinds.
Speaker 2I feel like I'm being unfairly targeted because I have one every like three or four days and I'm a one poacher.
Speaker 1No, you were targeted because you were a bad influence for somebody who wanted to quit.
Speaker 3And I love how this is recorded. And now we can go back to this in a month when you have no bottom lip and be like, hey, look at this.
Speaker 1CJ when cancer of the lip has taken over in a month.
Speaker 2Fast moving. Well, it's happening these days. Do you want to know? A scary stat I heard today I'd love to. Something like 40% of the population has an IQ lower than 100. Can you look that up? What?
Speaker 3That seems. But what is an IQ of 100, though?
Speaker 2well, it's not a lot but, like they're probably pentalipping zins how accurate are IQ tests? I don't, I don't know. I haven't done one in a long time.
Speaker 1I don't know if I've ever done one. I feel like I'd be like 300. Do we have time? Just to do one? Right now Is 300 a number.
Speaker 2No, oh, okay, never mind I think, if you're above 140, you're pretty supreme, you're pretty superior, supreme 2.7% 2.7% is below 100?
Speaker 3I don't know there's a bunch of it says something about 130%. We have 98% of people have a score below 130.
Speaker 2Yeah, 98 percent of people have a score below 130.
Speaker 3Yeah, most people have an average iq between 185 and 115, which is pretty low.
Speaker 1Is it what? What's max? What's max iq? I think like 150 one.
Speaker 3I've heard one saying nothing about this.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't know, I guess it is kind of an arbitrary number, seems like it because an iq test and the thing I don't understand about iq test is actually I don't understand anything about, I've never done one like I'm thinking about it. I'm like, so is it just like a? Because the thing is, if you're really smart about one topic, does that make you smart or no? Because that is it a broad range of topics and you, you see what your intelligence is on those things.
Speaker 2Does it capture your other like your eq? What yeah, your emotional?
Speaker 1quotient.
Speaker 3I don't think it does capture that, because I don't think it cares what you are, but like to be fair. Is there an official like here is? Here is a iq test?
Speaker 1I don't think so I think they're really flawed there's.
Speaker 3There's a mensa international one that takes 25 minutes.
Speaker 2That I think all three of us should do.
Speaker 1I'm down, let's do that before the next. How much does this?
Speaker 3I bet you cost something much does it cost, I put free in front of the Google search it auto-filled because it knows me.
Speaker 2If we do it and we get answers that we don't like, do we have to share?
Speaker 3it. No, we're sharing it all. What if you get under 100?
Speaker 1I'm super curious. If it's hard math problems. I'm going to struggle because I haven't done math in a long time.
Speaker 2I also think it's just not going to represent your ability to relate or interact with the world around you, oh no, it's free. Oh, we're definitely doing that, I think we should do it.
Speaker 3It's a series of puzzles, so there's 25.
Speaker 1Oh, okay 35 puzzles.
Speaker 3You have 25 minutes to do them and they get progressively harder. I feel like men say international. Can we put the link in the show notes?
Speaker 1Yeah, let's put some link in some show notes. Do you know how to do that?
Speaker 3Yeah, no.
Speaker 1Check the show notes everyone. The link probably isn't there. Actually, maybe, if you're listening to this AI bot for Buzzsprout, can you put the link in the show notes. We're not using it.
Speaker 2Oh, if that works. If that works, that'd be awesome. Can you imagine?
Speaker 1if it works, okay, that'd be an actual useful. Let's try that AI bot. If you're listening, link in the show notes for an IQ test, please. Thank you.
Speaker 2But I'm still going to write the description, okay, so don't do that. Ai bot, I love your.
Speaker 3You I love his Clint Eastwood eyes as he stares into the sun in this room where we've told you to get blinds over and over again.
Speaker 1Hey, when are we filling holes in the walls?
Speaker 3Yeah, when I have time oh you're pretty busy.
Speaker 1Yeah, shucking corn, shucking corn, rolling croissants.
Speaker 3And Nick popping or whatever the kids call it.
Speaker 2Z-balling, z-balling.
Speaker 3Yeah, z-packing.
Speaker 2Z-ballin', z-ballin'.
Speaker 1Z-packin'.
Speaker 2Z-ballin' Z-pushin'.
Speaker 3Risen up that zin. I got nothing.
Speaker 2We can't even get zins In Canada. It's a zonic, it's not the same, Okay sorry, we're still Z.
Speaker 1It's cool yeah.
Speaker 2Anything with a Z is cool, right? Do you think they're like the new vapes?
Speaker 1But I think vapes worse. Well, for sure, vapes is worse.
Speaker 2And you deserve to be made fun of much more if you're vaping.
Speaker 3Yeah, I agree with that, but I think they are Because, you do see, a lot of kids with them. Not that I drive around looking for kids with sins, but you know.
Speaker 2I told someone. I'm not proud of this. I told someone last week that they look like they're sucking on a robot cock.
Speaker 1Was it someone you know well? No, okay, it was the wrong environment.
Speaker 3You don't have to say that Well.
Speaker 2I know I don't have to say a lot of things that have come out of my mouth. Did you say?
Speaker 1dick or cock.
Speaker 2I think I said dick, okay, it's not as bad it sounds worse when you say that yeah, I think it was a soft d instead of a hard c yeah, let's see if you throw the c hard.
Speaker 1I don't know. It just sounds worse. It sounds like a lot more aggressive yeah, it does it's a lot more phallic. Yeah, mm-hmm. What if you said like wiener, wiener, that's like I, it's flaccid like.
Speaker 3That's what I think it's not it's not aggressive, it's not like I like yeah you picture flaccid when you hear wiener when I hear wiener, yeah, I don't picture. Yeah, yeah, what do you picture? A hot dog. Well, in the context of what he was saying, we were talking about or like dink, how about?
Speaker 1dink that's good, I picture a stubby hot dog.
Speaker 3Nah, maybe like a like a soft fluff not like soft fluff yeah oh yeah, you weren't around for the conversation why I wasn't, why wasn't I here? No, he wasn't around you. Me and tony had a conversation about fluff. Are you a fluffer? Yeah, see that, that's a, that's a job, it's an occupation.
Speaker 2I I, I can't believe it, but yes, it is, yeah, cool man ai is gonna have a fun time figuring this I have a story about.
Speaker 1Uh. So at the nursing home the other day we took the new attendants and we're trying to get them in shape. So we did a workout in the morning and four of them puked.
Speaker 2Nice, I was very happy about that.
Speaker 1actually I felt quite good.
Speaker 3After this I'm going to throw four names out there and find if I'm right.
Speaker 1So I was quite. I actually didn't even know they had puked until we were like an hour after the fact and they were talking about it. I was like yeah. I was like oh, yeah, we puked. I was like what, how was it received?
Speaker 3Oh they, they did it, they rallied, they just puked.
Speaker 1Yeah, it was actually, I was actually quite impressed to be honest, very good. They it was, uh, it was a workout. You've done it before. We've done. We did it as a team. Uh, it's the. You do, you sprint down. You do 10 things like 10 set uh reps or something. Sprint back, sprint down, do 10 reps of two things, sprint back all the way up to 10, so you'd end up by the end of doing 100 reps of like different when have I done that with you?
Speaker 1wow, um, you should have, I thought we did it as a team.
Speaker 2Is that the one where you, we also ran outside briefly?
Speaker 1No, it's similar, very similar, yeah, I mean. I like them. They're fun. Yeah, we did.
Speaker 2It was good.
Speaker 1Good, so that was fun.
Speaker 2Building grit Trying to that's good Trying to.
Speaker 3And then the next thing he did is they brought in an ice cream cake and shared it with, but to be fair. If you're going to have sugar or calories, the best time like lots of calories, the best time to do it is immediately after a workout. I don't know if it was. Was that on?
Speaker 1your was that on your day of ice cream cake. That was the day before, Not to.
Speaker 3We had the ice cream cake the day before was the ice cream cake Not to dox you that you had a birthday, but it's okay, thank you.
Speaker 1Yes, I enjoyed the pieces, pieces you want.
Speaker 3That was the best thing ever.
Speaker 1They bought me cake, so if you're listening, thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 3That was pretty cool.
Speaker 1Some of them did listen really I know one does, a couple do yeah that's good thank you for listening. Yeah, we appreciate it.
Speaker 3There are.
Speaker 1There are only listeners, and we will have shirts coming out that you should probably buy because, uh, they'll be really good I'm pumped about the quality actually, because the the other ones that are.
Speaker 3They're super nice.
Speaker 2I agree. Yeah, our friend that was like oh, I didn't like them. I couldn't understand that.
Speaker 3Me neither they didn't like the preview of their shirts. They didn't like the material so nice.
Speaker 1I recently got another shirt from somebody who I was very appreciative of, but the material really sucks and it said something like consistency over time equals results well, that's a guild, you got a guild, you got a guild.
Speaker 2And it was a guild. That shirt is going to be in a museum one day so hang into my closet the average superior museum I don't think it's going that far have you worn that shirt ever?
Speaker 1no, I have not why, not well, because I don't really want to sweat in it, because it's not comfortable, because it will turn turn immediately into super comfortable. It's kind of more or less like a keepsake. I like it, but'm probably not going to wear it that often, unless I cut the sleeves off and then.
Speaker 2I wear it. You know what I did ask you to send me a picture of it, and then you did, and then it was a terrible picture. Can you send me a better picture?
Speaker 1of it so I can put it on the.
Discussion on Sunscreen and Sun Exposure
Speaker 2Instagram. Oh, but with like your fucking, like arms were kind of in front of it, it wasn't was he wearing the shirt?
Speaker 1was it doing like, uh, like one of these, or something?
Speaker 2that's his normal, that's your normal thing, and can you just time stamp at what point in today's podcast jb flex it was uh because it's gonna happen always 804, 804, and you know what that best part about that is.
Speaker 3I don't know how far into the podcast is, so have fun figuring out.
Speaker 2Your time stamping is with the time of day. I'm new to this, I'm sorry. Yeah, time of day.
Speaker 3Help at all time of daying it with no start time. So this is fun and a fucking 10 minute one previous like this is gonna make no sense so from now on, you need to be in control of the electronics also no, I like this. This is I'm doing a shitty job with it, but I like it but you're the, you're the producer, am I?
Speaker 1well, that's what was your role when you came in.
Speaker 2Yes, that was.
Speaker 1You are the producer, but I have to admit unfortunately, uh, somebody mentioned to me that they thought you were the best part of this podcast oh, was that, uh, one of the people that you oversee right now?
Speaker 3no oh, because I thought it was that one.
Speaker 1No, all right, they're like I can't, he's just, he just it's funny and I'm like okay, I'm like who like that, that oh yeah, I'm fine not knowing who I am, just yeah, but somebody mentioned the other one.
Speaker 3They're like, oh, you haven't put one out in a while and I was like, oh, first of all, I didn't know this person. Listen, that's cool.
Speaker 1But I'm like, yeah, remember when to hang out with friends for 30 minutes and just talk. Yeah, I agree, it was annoying, but like I also was like whatever, I mean, what are you going to do?
Speaker 2I was more so annoyed the one before that didn't record at all. Yeah, because that was a good one.
Speaker 3Yeah, I think it was. Yeah, we came in all, we were all pretty hot, we were all pretty fired up, like I told crash, like that's a fucking awesome story.
Speaker 1Yeah yeah, now you can't ever tell again. I can't because you've already heard all we know about him he's in a lot of bar fights when he was younger, yeah, and that's what made him tough, yeah, and then he survived a plane crash. There you go well, did he?
Speaker 3have to fight like a group of wolves with a bunch of mini alcohol bottles no wearing their abercrombie shirts I don't understand, like halt that abercrombie.
Speaker 1Like where did they go?
Speaker 2like they were so big for a while, abercrombie, yeah with our youth no, they're just, they're just not cool anymore, like if people don't wear them uh, I don't think like this dude, I also along with the words that the kids say briz what's the good?
Speaker 3what's the? What's the new abercrombie?
Speaker 1I don't know what are you doing? He's trying to get out of the sun.
Speaker 2We'll get blinds at some point this year.
Speaker 1He's a light gingered-skinned man who needs to stay out of the sun for fear of skin cancer.
Speaker 3Do you have some gingivitis cream right now? I think you might need it.
Speaker 2Oh, actually, this is interesting. Let's talk about this, okay, what, actually? This is interesting. Let's talk about this, okay, what are we?
Speaker 1talking about so first off, is this getting serious.
Speaker 2No, it's not.
Speaker 1But we just finished this thought, anyway, anyways. Okay, now go.
Speaker 2Like the words that kids say the style has gone. Abercrombie is gone, I'm sorry, it's like American Eagle. Is that still a thing?
Speaker 3I thought we were talking about your redheadness. We're going to talk about my redheadness but I didn't want to stop me. No, I got, you, I got you, american Eagle is still around.
Speaker 2I don't know if anyone shops there.
Speaker 3Abercrombie had good cologne.
Speaker 1Yeah, they're good. I like their clothes too.
Speaker 3I don't know.
Speaker 1I don't know what the new what's the new that I have no idea Under Armour any free t-shirts when I go to Costco and I find something? Yes, and you?
Speaker 3buy like three of them, like these, these pair of jeans.
Speaker 1I wish I would have bought four pairs of them, because they're the only ones I wear, because they're so comfy and they fit me really well yeah, I'm proud that Kirkland is my favorite brand of clothing it is. I bought a. I bought a. I like walk. I went to Costco the next day and guess what? Spring jacket $20. Nautica fits well. I'm good with it, yeah.
Speaker 2Because it's all brand name. Be proud of that, I am proud of it. So here's the deal. I am a ginger, yeah, we know, really Lately, lately. I'm aware that people listening to us and me and you and you, we all just are very skeptical and always like go down rabbit holes of things and stuff. Yeah, I'm not sure I believe in sunscreen anymore.
Speaker 1Oh, I like it. I don't know if I do either. I haven't. I'll be fair what. I haven't worn it in a long time anyway, but I don't even make my kids wear it anymore.
Speaker 3I didn't know this was a thing, oh yeah.
Speaker 2There's lots of chemicals in it, like and like, so bad. And did you know?
Speaker 3so what would someone like of like you, people who look like you do?
Speaker 2well, I'm at a bit of a genetic disadvantage which, I will admit, may require me to mitigate that risk with some chemicals. But, um, I again. It's like saying, like climate change, like, oh, like the fucking planet has changed a bunch of temperature in the last hundred years. Well, first off, I think prior to that, we weren't really good at recording the temperature of the time prior. Yeah, the same statement can be made is like skin cancer didn't really exist 100 years ago, and is that because it people didn't use sunscreen? Or is that because we just didn't track those things?
Speaker 1I don't know or is it because they just acclimatize themselves to it?
Speaker 2right, and one of the things that I have heard and have been looking into a little bit is that, uh, sunglasses are potentially correlated with, um, uh, your inability to like, adapt to sunlight, so that when you wear sun sunglasses, it prevents the sun from getting into your eyes and triggering the development of melanin in your skin. Um, because your body's not being forced to adapt, because it doesn't believe it's in this like sunny environment.
Speaker 1So I'm also not really going hard on the right, trying huberman's big about getting sun in your eye holes.
Speaker 3Totally, and I'm I did your eye holes eye holes or like immediately when you wake up.
Summer Safety and Friendly Congrats
Speaker 2Yeah, which I think is maybe a bit different, but the same. So I'm not sure I'm really. Fortunately it's the start of summer, so I can kind of feel it out right now.
Speaker 1The signs sound solid to me. I'm in. Yeah, sold, sold.
Speaker 3And with the summer, with young children, that's going to be a consideration you're going to have to have.
Speaker 1No, but the key is just don't be an idiot and like let them roast in the sun.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1Keep them covered up a little bit and you put like the given shade and and some of the like.
Speaker 2Some of the listening and I've been kind of doing is like oh you know, if it's the UV index, like you probably shouldn't be out in the fucking sun at noon.
Speaker 3Right.
Speaker 2Yeah, like, hey, from like 7 to 10.30 and from 3.30.
Speaker 1Yeah, but what if you are, I guess is the question.
Speaker 2huh Well, cover up, wear a hat, right Like? I think you still need to use your brain a little bit.
Speaker 1What about mosquito repellent?
Speaker 2We put so many chemicals on our body. Yeah, so many.
Speaker 3And there are days where it's like when we're camping, mosquito repellent and then sunscreen on top of that, or vice versa, just soaking it in and you're right With the kids. It's the deet or whatever it's not good.
Speaker 1And now with all the technology. They have those little devices. You can wear that just like yeah. But again, are those bad for you. Oh really, who the hell knows? Because, you're those. There's almost like a sonic, like a like a frequency like yeah, a frequency that like, just they don't like, so they don't come near you, and apparently some of them work very, very well really yeah, see here's, here's.
Speaker 2What I wonder is that the risk is? Is that because you, when you become so critical like not even critical, but so questioning of everything, yeah that you start to like over question things, yeah, and then you become the like Unabomber. Right Cause, like, like, I feel, like I'm just like oh, I don't believe anything anymore, I know, I know.
Speaker 3Yeah, I don't like this. What are you reading? The deed? No, just the vibration. A mosquito repellent, sonic mosquito repellents, yeah no-transcript things.
Speaker 1Like you know what I mean.
Speaker 3Like I think it's probably better for you than putting chemicals which will be absorbed by your skin, into your bloodstream and cause cancer these would be like the bubblies of the hydration world, where they're bad for you because right now we're just spreading coca-cola all over our skins. Yeah, okay, fuck off, it's a coke zero first off, I like, and uh, it's the iron man on the aspartame.
Speaker 1It's not good for you. Uh, have you watched uh three body problem? Yep, I'm not done it yet.
Speaker 2Really good, yeah, I'm liking it though I'm gonna have to read the second book. Have you read?
Speaker 1the book. I haven't no the book. I haven't no the book is it worth it?
Speaker 2It's worth it, but it's a tough read. Okay, maybe not, I'm going to have to read the second book now, because I read the book and then watched the show and then was like oh yeah, there's a cliffhanger.
Speaker 1Okay, I'm liking the show. Haven't read the book.
Speaker 2I also finished Shogun.
Speaker 3I haven't finished that yet One of our friends pronounced it correctly, and he is Japanese Shogun.
Speaker 2I can't pronounce it as good as him. Which friend?
Speaker 3Not Tony, but the other.
Speaker 2The one you work with.
Speaker 3Yes, the other person we work with.
Speaker 2And he said Shogun.
Speaker 3Shogun, shogun, shogun.
Speaker 2I wish he would say that to me.
Speaker 3When he did it I was like I was in the show.
Speaker 1I was like yes, such a good show, could you get him? Do you think he would like come and just say it to me. Yeah, I'll get him to whisper it in your ear.
Speaker 1I thought you're gonna say you'd get him coming this podcast. I'm like zero chance he would. You know that'll be the goal. He will not do it. There's no chance he would. No, but that'll be the goal. Okay, oh I, I thought of this, just all up in my head. Uh, gigantic congratulations to our friend Shannon Clark, who is now official that she has a Contender Series fight to potentially get a UFC contract. So cool, super neat, really really really cool.
Speaker 3It's a huge deal.
Speaker 1It's amazing, super neat, yeah, just super cool. We're looking forward to that.
Speaker 3Tim there was no date announced. They just said Contender Series It'll be fall, though I believe yeah, no date announced.
Speaker 1They just said Contender Series. Oh okay, it'll be fall, though I believe that's.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 1Anyway, it just popped in my head, I don't know why.
Speaker 2Anyone else we can congratulate on their achievements.
Speaker 3Sure, let's see, we had a friend who turned who, was it Not 40, not?
Speaker 241.
Speaker 340. Was it up there, yeah, the other day. So congratulations to him.
Speaker 1Well job, well job by jb turning uh having a birthday of 42 don't say 32, 42, yeah, how do you?
Speaker 3feel I feel like I'm 20 still, yeah, like 42 is like.
Speaker 1Yeah, right I had a friend text me today who I haven't seen in a long time. I live in saskatchewan and his birthday's two days after mine, so he always remembers and uh, he's, I think, a year or two older than me and we were talking about that. We're like it's so weird, like perspective of time. It's like when I was 20, in my 20s, thinking you hear like, oh, that guy's 40.
Speaker 1Like, oh, my God, that's so old Right, yeah, and now it's like I don't feel any different and actually I feel better. In's six years old I finally settled down. It was just so tiring. Anyway, no, I feel good. You look good, thank you.
Speaker 2Yeah, you look nice.
Speaker 3Thanks, I would say you look just as good as when I met you.
Speaker 2I'd say you look better. I think I'm in better shape now. Did you see that flex he just did with his triceps?
Speaker 3No, he didn't flex the muscles, felt us talking about them. They were like ooh, hello.
Speaker 1Lately I've been really liking bugging my 14-year-old and today she had a glue stick that she couldn't open because it was like kind of stuck. So I was like my wife tried it, she me, so I got it and I was like, hey, watch this. And I was just like flexing as hard as I could as I did it and I was like just like, yeah, look at this, I think I can get it. And I was just like flexing and doing it. Get my fucking forearm.
Speaker 1Stop doing that, just getting my my veins pumping out and she was like, oh, she started looking away. I was like I'm like I can't get it until you look at this and so finally, she looks over and she's like you're so weird. I'm like I just need you to know how your dad's in shape. I just need you to know.
Speaker 3When's it going to be the first time when your younger boy is able to beat you with something physical? It's going to happen. It'll be a while. It's going to happen.
Speaker 2It's going to be so shitty.
Speaker 3It's going to be a while.
Speaker 2Do you remember the first time you're like I'm now stronger than my dad.
Speaker 1I remember, yeah, there was a realization at some point that was sad.
Speaker 2That makes me sad.
Speaker 3We had a ping pong table. I hope my dad never listens because he remembers this and it is not a good memory of a family. We're playing ping pong downstairs and he's being the dad just dominating right and we played and it was like a match point, whatever it is and I beat him and as the ball, I hit the ball and as the winning point ball flew over the table and was about to bounce on his side, I knew I won. I put my paddle down, I said good game and I walked away and he got so mad and I paid for it and I should for being a cocky little asshole but that was the first time I beat him at something physical.
Speaker 1I remember that uh, yeah, oh god, but I think I'm sorry, dad, if you ever listen I think it's a little different now because I think we especially like uh. Our idea of being healthy and trying to stay active is very different than our parents ideas were. Um, so I think that we will be in better shape than our parents were at their age, or with the same age, kind of thing. Uh, and also I think our kids are softer, so they might be, yes, but you gotta pick a number like 63, I don't know like when you feel old.
Speaker 2I saw like when your kid's gonna be able to like. Well, I think, perform you at least 10 years another 10.
Speaker 3You got 10 years, yeah, yeah uh, I, I think, uh.
Speaker 1So I found this funny instagram post the other day. It's uh this on his every day, on his kid's birthday they have a race, it looks awesome it looks hilarious and he puts on like a full speed suit, like he's just wearing a speed suit and every year he trains all year. And he's like I'm gonna train every single year so that he can never beat me on his birthday, and so then it looked like his or 14. So they race and he beats them and he's just like the kid's pissed off, just like a sprint.
Speaker 1Yeah, like a sprint, Just like a sprint from A to B. He's like every single day on his birthday we're going to sprint and he's never going to let it beat me, that's hilarious.
Speaker 2It is good, I like it. I was like we should be doing that.
Speaker 3I like that stuff.
Speaker 1The day will come where you will lose Completely I, I so on the on the same day that we we got the four to puke. Uh, so I I kind of tweaked my hammy, like two weeks ago, and so I've been not doing sprints, so deciding not to sprint for much right now. And then this one. So it was the. It was the pairs, and so your, your pair, wanted to beat the pair. So Tony was with somebody else and I was, and the last sprint Tony finished his first. I had two squats left. I finished my squats and Tony didn't realize I was so close behind him. So he was running, but not super hard. So I was like screw this. So I sprint all the way down and in the last two bodies I pass him and I won.
Speaker 1But, I tore my hammy again. So I didn't tear it, but I tweaked it again. So my left hammy is feeling a little not so good, Do you?
Speaker 2I've never really puked after working out.
Speaker 1Like I've dry heaved a little bit. Yeah, me too, but I've never puked Me, neither.
Speaker 2Yeah neither have I. Is that just a? Is that a physiological thing?
Speaker 1I think you ate a bunch of stuff and just didn't sit well. Or maybe your body if you're prone to puking, I don't know or you're just not used to that. Level of effort is another thing, right? Yeah, oh, there you go. You got out of the sun again. Good to go. Cool, well, I gotta run, all right anyways, anyway I made some notes, so we're good, we're uh.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's great, uh, hopefully this recorded because I feel this is a good one I, I had a lot of, I had a, I had a lot of fun either way yeah, me too, just like talking to you.
Speaker 2Um, do we have anything we want to update the listeners on?
Speaker 1uh, we legit have search shirts coming like that's legit happening. There's quotes and everything that got sent to the shirt. People right, yep, uh, so it's happening.
