Speaker 2:As Hemingway said, there is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man. Who nobility is being superior to your former self.
Speaker 1:Enjoy the episode as much as we enjoyed recording it Context Ever.
Speaker 2:King, you want times. Oh yeah, it's up to you.
Speaker 3:And, realistically, the way we switch topics Is gonna be super easy to do. Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1:Usually a clear, definitive line.
Speaker 3:And 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 1:And 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 3:Yeah, 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 1:why 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 3:Like a VR headset.
Speaker 1:Well 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 3:You showed me that. You showed me.
Speaker 1:It'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 2:That would be kind of cool, except sometimes I like not knowing how far I've run yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1:I 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 1:but 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 1:You 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 3:Actually, 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 1:Yeah, 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 2:You 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 1:If 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 1:I 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 3:I'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 1:I don't know there's a video my kid is watching on youtube.
Speaker 3:I don't know what business people do.
Speaker 2:Don'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 3:I don't know.
Speaker 1:My 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 2:Do they have speakers in them?
Speaker 1:Yep, 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 2:Yeah, it's kind of like that. I'm surprised I haven't seen a single person wearing them.
Speaker 1:That's true. Well, it's expensive. It's like $3,500. Yeah, it's like $3,500.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 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 3:that's what my kid says. He has some, some, some skins in fortnite.
Speaker 2:He'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 3:You 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 3:even 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 1:That's when it came out. Remember American Pie.
Speaker 3:True, yes, that was like, was that when um?
Speaker 1:kids are so messed up right now it's.
Speaker 3:I didn't understand then. Then they tried to carry on conversation. I couldn't talk to them.
Speaker 1:I 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 3:I'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 1:I 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 3:We were stupid.
Speaker 1:It'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 2:Let me ask you this Because your kid's almost in high school. She is going to grade nine this year.
Speaker 1:Sorry your son, he is grade five, six next year.
Speaker 2:Okay, 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 1:I 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 2:I don't know is it wrong to tell your kid not to be respectful of furries?
Speaker 1:I 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 3:I have a funny story about kids, about my kid is this the story you had?
Speaker 1:it was an interesting thing.
Speaker 3:So there's a bit of backstory in about a minute.
Speaker 1:Then 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 2:I really want to share with you guys.
Speaker 3:I find I find it's quite funny to my, to myself.
Speaker 1:My 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 3:It's going to be terrible, it's going to be terrible.
Speaker 1:So 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 3:Good write speed on it, though. Up to 200 megabytes a second, yeah Praise.
Speaker 1:Odin, it recorded, yes.
Speaker 2:Who's?
Speaker 1:Odin. He is the god of somebody.
Speaker 3:He's the dad.
Speaker 1:He's Zeus' dad no.
Speaker 3:No 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 2:Oh he praising the god of war and death. Why not? It seems like a good one.
Speaker 3:I feel like there's other gods we can praise. He's got one eye.
Speaker 2:What about the god of like? What is it called, when you sit around with all the grapes and stuff like that?
Speaker 3:Man. Greek mythology is so cool. No, greek mythology is cool, he sacrificed his eye, so we can see Hedonism, the god of hedonism.
Speaker 2:Can you look up the god of hedonism, please.
Speaker 3:I 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 1:No, look up god of hedonism.
Speaker 3:No, I'm just going to.
Speaker 1:Google hedonism Dionysus.
Speaker 3:Praise Dionysus.
Speaker 1:Yes and Odin.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's a sensual.
Speaker 2:God is what it says I suspect that Dionysus and Odin have a lot of things in common. Hedonism leads to death and war.
Speaker 1:Maybe or just enjoyment.
Speaker 2:No no. I don't think so I think we've covered this off Maybe.
Speaker 1:But 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 3:hedonism 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 2:yeah, that's, it's uh ah, man, there's.
Speaker 3:There 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 1:I feel like there's hedonism resorts for singles and for couples and you have to pick the right one.
Speaker 3:What if you pick the wrong one? How does that work?
Speaker 2:You'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 1:think 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 1:oh well, people want to be around him.
Speaker 2:For some reason, you have money I don't.
Speaker 3:You have money they interviewed one of the uh, one of his like girls, I guess whoever would follow him around.
Speaker 2:One of his concubines.
Speaker 3:Yeah, 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 2:It 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 3:I should. Maybe you know, don't you want to just go up or something, don't you just?
Speaker 1:want 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 2:yeah, and just like continue to be poor and broke.
Speaker 3:Yeah average it would get old. It's one of those things that would get old it would.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:Or he's riddled with anxiety and depression and just medicates it with cocaine and hookers, Right yeah okay, which makes him happy?
Speaker 1:It just makes him happy.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:He's not hurting you. He's not hurting you.
Speaker 2:You'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 3:My neighbor got a new truck. Oh, they're keeping up with the Joneses.
Speaker 2:What kind of truck? A brand new fucking Ford Raptor.
Speaker 1:Oh, have you ever driven one of those? They're so nice, aren't they?
Speaker 3:He owned one back then. Apparently, they're pretty nice.
Speaker 2:So 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 1:I don't think it's any good. Well, is it useless? I don't think it's useless.
Speaker 3:No, 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 2:Look 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 3:But 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 1:Maybe 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 3:I 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 2:I 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 1:That'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 3:good, some people would have saw that truck and then went and bought a new truck you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:10 years ago. Yes, yes, yes that's, that's what.
Speaker 1:That'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 2:But 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 3:Yeah, yeah I don't know why.
Speaker 2:No, 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 3:Yeah, but we were in it together. And that brought. It brings people closer when you're in the muck together. Right.
Speaker 2:It does. It's just weird the feeling it comes out of nowhere it does. Yeah, Like, where does it?
Speaker 1:come from, just like thoughts, yeah.
Speaker 3:Thoughts.
Speaker 1:Okay, are we going to your story now?
Speaker 3:This actually ties into the story.
Speaker 1:Okay, here we go.
Speaker 3:Like 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 1:Yep, I remember you remember that?
Speaker 3:Do 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 2:Okay, who Fred Flintstone was. What's his name? John Fred Flintstone was. What's his name? John Goodman. Yeah, and then.
Speaker 3:Rick 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 3:So 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 2:Look on their face.
Speaker 3:He 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 1:Just let it go. You just let it happen, Just let it buck. I mean nothing you can do.
Speaker 3:But 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 2:let it happen and see what happens. In like 15 years you got to leave it alone.
Speaker 3:Not about our, our shared like of a certain person, but hey, son you like that loincloth?
Speaker 2:don't you weird.
Speaker 1:Uh, 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 3:Some say it was a double no, don't tell me that could have been a double no I don't know.
Speaker 1:Uh, 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 3:And 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 1:So I need to because of Halle Berry. I need to be better at that. Yeah, I do too.
Speaker 3:Okay, 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 1:I 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 3:We 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 1:I'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 1:for 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 1:I'll find out. Actually, you can probably have them, because we still have those ones.
Speaker 3:I don't know if I want your secondhand sex ed book.
Speaker 1:But 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 2:So that's what I'm gonna do. Yeah, what age?
Speaker 1:is grade four uh, that would be about nine, yeah that's where, that's where he's at.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, okay, why why there's I'm just trying to think of, like that was the age when I started sex ed.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's what they.
Speaker 2:yeah, I think like grade six is like the first time I can acutely remember thinking a girl is attractive.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Right, like a girl in my class, april. What was her last name? O'neal? No, fuck, mcnulty.
Speaker 3:I think were you watching the Wire? Yeah, hey, I was just going to say hey, mcnulty.
Speaker 2:I think that was her name.
Speaker 3:Was that your first crush? Yeah.
Speaker 2:Do you remember your first date? Sadly? Yes.
Speaker 3:I do too it was fucking terrible. Well, I want to hear your story, did you?
Speaker 1:remember 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 3:You're young age was into girls like yeah.
Speaker 1:you 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 3:Oh, you were dude I I legit.
Speaker 1:Remember, 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 3:Right, but it was like.
Speaker 1:But 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 3:were they your age?
Speaker 1:like 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 3:It wasn't puberty, it was just. I don't know what it was.
Speaker 1:It was just, I guess it was weird about it. I'm thinking back and I'm like he's already shaving.
Speaker 3:No, but like I got, I got like married in and you were doing like.
Speaker 1:You remember those stupid things where you do those like, uh, those like mash, like I don't even know what.
Speaker 3:Yes, and you're like who do?
Speaker 1:who are you gonna marry?
Speaker 3:and 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 1:You 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 3:I 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 1:I think I've ever really, unless again, unless I'm oblivious to it, whichever very well could, but but here's the thing.
Speaker 3:Did 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 2:All 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 3:Yeah, 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 2:I 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 1:It'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 3:Oh yeah, if you're moving to, it would be impossible, oh God yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because it would just be all the people you work with. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Anyway, just kidding.
Speaker 2:Anyway. 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 2:That's hilarious. Yeah, so that was fun that was it.
Speaker 1:Was it awkward or was it like a good date?
Speaker 2:oh, it was okay. We went to the old spaghetti factory and then we went to a theater how old were you?
Speaker 3:what was the movie?
Speaker 2:it 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 1:Dude, that's not old for a date, first date. You think you're fine. I don't know.
Speaker 3:My first date was the Titanic movie which came out.
Speaker 2:I think I was oh actually that wasn't my first date.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:My first date was also at a movie. Oh and that and then a. Nickelback concert.
Speaker 3:Oh, perfect, that's a sweet date yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:All right. Do you hold hands and stuff?
Speaker 2:I don't remember.
Speaker 3:You took her to a concert.
Speaker 2:Hopefully you get some hand holding. My dad was there. Oh, that's well yeah that's tough.
Speaker 3:Yeah, 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 2:Yeah, that's legit which is?
Speaker 3:what 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 3:And 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.
Speaker 2:She'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 1:Yeah, your emotions are just weird.
Speaker 2:Because, 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 2:I, I do not want to do that. Oh my god, torture, what's your?
Speaker 3:what's your little grade three? Grade three date I'm literally so it's.
Speaker 1:It'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 1:And 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 1:And 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 3:I 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 1:I had a catastrophic failure.
Speaker 3:Let'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 2:You had to fucking write down, or just make sure you didn't forget it and repeat it in your head.
Speaker 3:And 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 3:So, 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 1:Was 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 3:That'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 2:So thank you. Did it not go well because of the condoms?
Speaker 3:yeah, 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 1:Yeah, that guy's an idiot.
Speaker 2:Your mom will need these later tonight, or something like that.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm going back 20 years.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna make it happen. If I make a time machine, I'm going back to that what it is.
Speaker 2:It is, yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1:There'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 3:What's your bad date?
Speaker 2:I'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 1:I 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 3:That's going in the notes. That's going in the minutes. Are you serious?
Speaker 1:100%. 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 3:I just didn't know when to stop.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:Yeah, and you know what? The first thing I ever had to awesome.
Speaker 3:Do you split it? No, I don't know. Actually split the bottle.
Speaker 2:We're at his mom's house.
Speaker 3:I don't, I don't know you're sneaking alcohol from your parents. You ever watered down?
Speaker 2:uh 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 3:I 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 1:How do you afford it too? Like I don't look back to that. We drank like Boxer.
Speaker 2:Justice Nation was much less back then, big Bear.
Speaker 3:Big Bear was another one. I think we drank.
Speaker 1:What was Lucky Lager?
Speaker 3:Lucky Lager was terrible, we drank that.
Speaker 1:I feel like you would go out to the bar and you could like get drunk off 20 bucks and there's no way.
Speaker 2:I remember like Well, they still have 25 cent draft, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Remember 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 2:It 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 1:Were you lucky. Oh, do you remember the fights? I was never around that.
Speaker 2:How dumb were the fights.
Speaker 3:They were so dumb and nobody knew how tearing shirts.
Speaker 1:I 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 3:There'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 2:god, 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 1:They'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 3:Yeah, yeah, he was one of those guys.
Speaker 2:Like 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 3:Well, 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 2:You 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 1:But that's what the problem is saying. You miss it because it makes it sound like you would do it again.
Speaker 3:I would like to experience just a stupid night like that again.
Speaker 1:Would you no at your age right now?
Speaker 3:No 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 2:Easy's bachelor party.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we did and that was a blast.
Speaker 2:That was a good time actually.
Speaker 3:But that was like I drank, but I didn't drink a ton.
Speaker 1:We drank quite a bit and, surprisingly, I felt good the next day.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I had fun and it wasn't like the stressful like go to the bar when you're in your late teens.
Speaker 1:It was like a bunch of dudes in their adult years who generally make good decisions.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 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 1:Yeah, 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 1:it'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 2:Oh, 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 1:So 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 3:You 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 2:Buddy, 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 1:Like if we just go out and get everyone just blasted one night.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and then see who? Well, because it relaxes their inhibitions.
Speaker 2:Yeah and oh, this is a brilliant idea.
Speaker 3:I think we should probably have a tester with the current young people that you're overseeing.
Speaker 2:Here'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 1:I know, I know exactly where you're going.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 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 3:the 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 1:Do you want to know who you're, who you're hiring? Yeah, do you want to know who?
Speaker 3:you'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 1:You get more huggy I get more loud, like like talky, which is surprising.
Speaker 2:And yeah, I get more like loving and huggy we do work with one person that tried to murder me once.
Speaker 1:When they were drinking, but but it was like, was that a fun murder? It?
Speaker 3:doesn't narrow it down.
Speaker 2:It wasn't fun for me.
Speaker 1:I know that but like they thought they were having fun.
Speaker 2:Well, there's no fun, like were they smiling and laughing. As they were drowning me in the Dominican. Yes, oh okay.
Speaker 1:Well, 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 2:I think if you get drunk and angry at the same time, it's time to quit drinking. Yeah, I would.
Speaker 1:I 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.
Speaker 2:Excuse completely.
Speaker 3:But 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 1:You always kind of feel a little bit of like oh fuck, was I an asshole last night.
Speaker 2:That 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 1:But 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 2:I don't like the way you said took tequila. I took it, that was weird, it's not a drug I drank it.
Speaker 3:I ingested some tequila. Maybe that's a problem.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:I 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 3:Yeah, 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 2:It 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 3:is that what roofie does you forget it? Well, and like I don't, you get insane.
Speaker 1:You 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 2:Oh, 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 1:That'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 2:So 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 1:The sleeves. Well, they cover it up.
Speaker 2:That's just Bar Safety 101. You just walk around like this.
Speaker 3:I 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 2:I don't think you're the prime target.
Speaker 3:I thought Mike might have been. Maybe you're talking about him, do they?
Speaker 2:make a drug to counteract that, like an anti-roofy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you put your hand on top of the cup.
Speaker 2:I don't know if they do Like I've been roofied An antidote, like an antidote. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like 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 3:Yeah, roofie, be gone.
Speaker 1:Floreys. How do you?
Speaker 3:spell roofie R Roofeline. Okay, that helps me a lot. Thank you for making it more complicated. How do you R GHB?
Speaker 2:It's not picking it up. Gamma hydroxybutyrate Butyrate.
Speaker 3:Hydroxybutyrate, 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 1:Yeah, 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 2:if so, hey, have you been?
Speaker 1:we 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 3:We can probably charge what we wanted to, because no one's going to remember.
Speaker 2:Because they're so shit-faced they're just going to tap their card.
Speaker 1:So you've been roofied. How worried are you about this? We'll start the bidding at $100.
Speaker 3:That's crazy. There is no instant roofie be gone, there are only two antidotes in this vending machine tonight.
Speaker 1:We will start the bidding at $100.
Speaker 3:You've got a really good voice for that.
Speaker 2:You do. It's like the creepy AI is taking over the world.
Speaker 3:Yeah, this is like the Squid Games kind of. I feel like that could be the announcer on that.
Speaker 1:I like it. Yeah, people do weird things to each other. Welcome to the flooring.
Speaker 3:Yeah, 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 1:I 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 2:Steal 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 3:Yeah, like Mike just takes off. Yeah, I'm going home, guys.
Speaker 2:But if we were three chicks and J Balina? Disappeared we'd be like where is she?
Speaker 3:We need to find her right now, we'd protect her, and I get that we need to find her right now.
Speaker 1:Right, where is she, Guys? Where did she go?
Speaker 3:She left for like three seconds ago and I don't know where she is.
Speaker 1:Did she go to the bathroom? Why didn't we go with her? Oh my God.
Speaker 3:You've got a really good voice for that too, you're welcome.
Speaker 2:You'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 3:Yeah, yes, I was the guy who was blocked. By the rhinoceros by the friend Not specifically.
Speaker 2:He kind of usually is the rhinoceros.
Speaker 3:Not specifically, but yes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but you didn't try and roofie the chick.
Speaker 3:No, 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 1:I feel like I haven't seen enough pictures of you with hair there's not a lot.
Speaker 3:We actually looked.
Speaker 2:We were talking about that, the other day you need to look back to 1995 okay, anyway.
Speaker 3:Uh, 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 1:are you here? Is that kind of a thing? Yeah?
Speaker 3:So 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 2:Like 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 3:god, 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 3:Maybe 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 3:I 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 1:Do you watch Luke Cage?
Speaker 3:No, Is that what's his name? Michael? No, michael. Jai White no, no, yes.
Speaker 1:No, it's not Michael Jai.
Speaker 3:White. I feel like it's Michael Jai White.
Speaker 1:It is 100% not Michael Jai White. I'm going.
Speaker 3:Juice.
Speaker 2:Michael.
Speaker 1:Jai White is jacked and he's like a martial arts dude, oh, he's got a different face too.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, no kidding, because it's not Michael.
Speaker 1:Jai White.
Speaker 3:Frick oh, that's definitely not this guy's jacked.
Speaker 2:Not like Michael Jai White. Not like Michael Jai White.
Speaker 1:Luke Cage only lasted one season, didn't it, yeah, and they did a weird crossover that sucked Marvel, marvel just fucking gave up.
Speaker 2:I still like some of it. What do you want? The Avengers 17? The last one was.
Speaker 3:They're good movies. Now, you know, space Out the Marvels yeah, was that their fucking?
Speaker 2:grandchildren, no it wasn't.
Speaker 3:You want a Space Out, you watch one of these movies Kamala Khan.
Speaker 1:And Kamala Captain. Yeah, kamala, not Kamala.
Speaker 3:Harris, vp Kamala, no, so we got Luke Cage here.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying that, like that reminds me, because there was a barbershop like centered around a barbershop as well.
Speaker 3:Oh 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 2:Stop location doxing us bro. Oh yeah, do we have to do the silence now? No, we don't.
Speaker 1:Silence. It's happened so many times, it doesn't matter, all right.
Speaker 3:That was like the other radical apathy podcast.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was pretty funny with Mike.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm not going to say anything by the end of it.
Speaker 1:He's just L-dropping everything and just like specific names of people. It's just hilarious.
Speaker 2:I don't know why. It matters Whatever. It doesn't If you want to know where we are? Just ask.
Speaker 1:What 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 3:Uh, 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 2:So the time stamps are useless because actually just on the subject, can we talk about time stamps for a second?
Speaker 1:sure, sure, I'd love to you know what I was hoping tonight that we would talk about 7 42 pm time stamp.
Speaker 2:Go ahead cj I'm sorry if you've been reading our titles for this podcast.
Speaker 1:No 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 2:I 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 1:Yeah, what it was, but it was the best option of the five. It gives you five options and it was the best one.
Speaker 2:Everybody 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 1:I saw that. Yeah, I'm like my. What does it do?
Speaker 3:I 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 2:Oh yeah, and they're decent on your instagram if you show like teach me how to like shuck a fucking corn.
Speaker 3:That's what, that's the skill, what did you say a fucking corn, that's the skill.
Speaker 1:What did you say? A fucking corn? Does it change it? Chuck?
Speaker 3:a fucking corn. Can I muck one of your worms there? That's right, be my guest.
Speaker 2:Sugar-free. So, fun fact, we're eating sugar-free gummy worms tonight.
Speaker 3:To be fair, you're eating sugar-free gummy worms.
Speaker 2:Well, 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 1:Speaking 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 2:I 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 3:it 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 1:I think you're looking at the wrong thing, my man.
Speaker 3:No, and you weren't drinking bubbly when you were five or six either.
Speaker 2:No, it's like literally it doesn't say anything about.
Speaker 1:So you said is bubbly bad for you, or what did you look up?
Speaker 3:I said, is carbonated water bad for you? And literally no evidence suggests that it's bad for you and literally no evidence suggests.
Speaker 2:What does chat gpt have to say about it?
Speaker 1:so 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 2:They 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 1:I haven't tried the instagram one, but I saw it.
Speaker 3:There it's, it is the same as the facebook. Facebook. Facebook has one too, doesn't it? Facebook? And.
Speaker 2:Instagram 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 1:What Do you add? Bucket and double them.
Speaker 3:Is 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 1:I got some shucks and corn.
Speaker 2:I've tried to think of what like no shit hold up, hold up.
Speaker 3:I gotta roll a croissant here. How to change oil? How about?
Speaker 2:that 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 3:If 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 2:examinecom 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 3:Examinecom. Yeah, it's really good.
Speaker 2:Never 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 3:And uh, all right Is carbonated, oh, and if it's not?
Speaker 1:Is carbonated water bad for you? Eight side effects of drinking it. Before the fizz tickles your schnoz know what you're sipping.
Speaker 2:Why is it?
Speaker 3:tickling. Oh, this one says, you might gain weight.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's because you're drinking Coke, you, fat fuck.
Speaker 3:But then the next point is you may lose weight.
Speaker 2:Because you're drinking Bubblies. I don't know. You shredded Adonis, you Okay number one.
Speaker 3:He is very shredded here's the eight things.
Speaker 1:Number 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 3:No, this is sponsored by Big Bubbly. Oh, here we go.
Speaker 1:Number 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 3:I bet the next point is you might lose weight.
Speaker 1:Maybe it is. Are you okay with the same one?
Speaker 3:Eat 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 1:Carbonated 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 2:How do we feel about me lipping a zin while I'm sipping on a bubbly?
Speaker 1:Can we talk about this?
Speaker 2:Yeah, we can talk about whatever you want.
Speaker 3:Are you lipping zins now? I've been lipping a few zins, okay, okay, well, how, what's a few?
Speaker 2:Like one every three days.
Speaker 1:We have a friend who wants to quit.
Speaker 3:Isn't he?
Speaker 1:We 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 2:I thought he was done. Yeah, so did I. Good for him.
Speaker 1:But 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 3:Are you doing that? He did it.
Speaker 2:Enabling, oh, I'm enabling. He did it. You're part of the Zin dynamic and I don't like it.
Speaker 1:He 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 2:Yeah, 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 1:Exactly, 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 2:Tony, if you're working tomorrow, I'll have some Zonics for you.
Speaker 3:Don't Pretty soon there'll be one of his vending machines sitting outside, with Zonics in it.
Speaker 1:That is actually a really good idea.
Speaker 3:You would make a killing at the nursing home.
Speaker 1:You 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 2:Not where mine are, okay.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, it's going to happen.
Speaker 2:That's amazing.
Speaker 3:No, they can't sell that in vending machines. No, they can't. Do you have to go? I?
Speaker 1:don't even know where you can buy those. Do you have to ask for them? Are they behind the counter? I?
Speaker 2:don't know, because nicotine is not a controlled substance. You know, what I mean. Now there's tobacco.
Speaker 3:Nicotine 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 2:Is that because they're scared that you're going to have the habit of like lipping a pouch?
Speaker 3:Lipping a Zim while you're shucking some cubs. Sorry, sorry.
Speaker 2:Tony can make his own decisions. Okay, he can, but he's like a.
Speaker 3:Let's throw his name out there. That's fine, tony, we call him.
Speaker 1:Tony, all I. Tony can make his own decisions. Okay, he can, but he was like, let's throw his name out there.
Speaker 3:That'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 1:He 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 2:To 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 3:You haven't bought a tin.
Speaker 2:Oh no, I just mooch off our other friend TJ.
Speaker 1:You just need to stop being me. You just need to stop.
Speaker 2:Okay, but Because we wanted to talk about Zins and Bubblies, right, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, I don't know, did we?
Speaker 3:We're in it now. We've talked about a lot of shit today.
Speaker 1:We determined carbonated water is not bad for you, so we're good.
Speaker 3:We looked at the nicotine last time Unless there's sweeteners in it.
Speaker 2:But here's the deal. I still don't think a Zin is bad for you.
Speaker 3:We looked at that last time. Nicotine in general is not that good for you Hardening of the arteries around the walls there? The?
Speaker 1:arteries 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 3:The 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 1:Remember that time.
Speaker 2:Guess what? I'm going to be triple lipping pretty soon. No, you're going to be quad lipping within a month Penta lipping.
Speaker 1:Just 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 3:I was hoping everybody forgot about that, I remember.
Speaker 1:Now we're talking about. This is the same thing Now, it's just with nicotine and it's actually probably worse for you.
Speaker 2:No, I think a gram of caffeine is worse for you.
Speaker 3:I don't think so, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Listen, I'm not saying that Zin is good for you, but I'm not not saying that.
Speaker 1:Listen, do what you want.
Speaker 2:And that's the whole crux of this argument.
Speaker 1:Do what you want.
Speaker 3:It makes you happy, it's just like the furries, do what you want, but don't let it impact other people's lives.
Speaker 1:Do what you want, but no, we're not setting up a litter box in the front engines of a hotel for you.
Speaker 2:Like listen, if I start having to liquidate my property to pay for my Zin habit, it's a problem?
Speaker 1:Can I have your solar panels if you do that?
Speaker 2:Yes, okay.
Speaker 3:Now you're a smoker.
Speaker 2:Sure, I'm going to be real deep down the zin, the zed hole.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but it's going to happen because you get the z-hole. You don't half-ass anything.
Speaker 2:That's a good thing.
Speaker 3:That's why we love you. I'm going to full-ass my zin you, full-ass everything.
Speaker 1:I would even like that's the next thing.
Speaker 3:It's quicker to get the system 100%.
Speaker 1:Yeah, better absorption, a zin-pository. You should develop a zin-suppository.
Speaker 2:You know what's fucked up. People would use that for sure, for sure they do.
Speaker 3:I bet it's been done.
Speaker 1:I guarantee it, Someone's done it. It's called the Z-shot If we thought about it. Someone's done it.
Speaker 2:How fucked up is that? If we've thought about it, I think that's true, yeah, 100.
Speaker 3:Has anyone put nicotine up their bum, and then this like vice business insider yes, yes, yes, okay, well, first off, vice.
Speaker 2:I 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 1:I 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 3:Oh and foreskin.
Speaker 1:Oh, my God.
Speaker 3:Young men stuff niggity pouches up their bums and foreskin.
Speaker 2:Why 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 1:No, 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 2:I'm sorry, I keep calling you buddy, it's all right.
Speaker 3:It is kind of weird.
Speaker 1:It is weird, all right, pal.
Speaker 3:All right guy.
Speaker 1:All right guy.
Speaker 3:But 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 1:That'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 2:That'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 1:I 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 2:I feel like I'm being unfairly targeted because I have one every like three or four days and I'm a one poacher.
Speaker 1:No, you were targeted because you were a bad influence for somebody who wanted to quit.
Speaker 3:And 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 1:CJ when cancer of the lip has taken over in a month.
Speaker 2:Fast 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 3:That seems. But what is an IQ of 100, though?
Speaker 2:well, 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 1:I 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 2:No, 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 3:I don't know there's a bunch of it says something about 130%. We have 98% of people have a score below 130.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 98 percent of people have a score below 130.
Speaker 3:Yeah, most people have an average iq between 185 and 115, which is pretty low.
Speaker 1:Is it what? What's max? What's max iq? I think like 150 one.
Speaker 3:I've heard one saying nothing about this.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 2:Does it capture your other like your eq? What yeah, your emotional?
Speaker 1:quotient.
Speaker 3:I 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 1:I don't think so I think they're really flawed there's.
Speaker 3:There's a mensa international one that takes 25 minutes.
Speaker 2:That I think all three of us should do.
Speaker 1:I'm down, let's do that before the next. How much does this?
Speaker 3:I 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 2:If we do it and we get answers that we don't like, do we have to share?
Speaker 3:it. No, we're sharing it all. What if you get under 100?
Speaker 1:I'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 2:I 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 3:It's a series of puzzles, so there's 25.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay 35 puzzles.
Speaker 3:You 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 1:Yeah, let's put some link in some show notes. Do you know how to do that?
Speaker 3:Yeah, no.
Speaker 1:Check 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 2:Oh, if that works. If that works, that'd be awesome. Can you imagine?
Speaker 1:if 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 2:But I'm still going to write the description, okay, so don't do that. Ai bot, I love your.
Speaker 3:You 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 1:But I think vapes worse. Well, for sure, vapes is worse.
Speaker 2:And you deserve to be made fun of much more if you're vaping.
Speaker 3:Yeah, 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 2:I 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 1:Was it someone you know well? No, okay, it was the wrong environment.
Speaker 3:You don't have to say that Well.
Speaker 2:I know I don't have to say a lot of things that have come out of my mouth. Did you say?
Speaker 1:dick or cock.
Speaker 2:I 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 1:I 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 3:That'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 1:dink that's good, I picture a stubby hot dog.
Speaker 3:Nah, 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 2:I 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 1:Uh. 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 2:Nice, I was very happy about that.
Speaker 1:actually I felt quite good.
Speaker 3:After this I'm going to throw four names out there and find if I'm right.
Speaker 1:So 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 3:Oh they, they did it, they rallied, they just puked.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 1:wow, um, you should have, I thought we did it as a team.
Speaker 2:Is that the one where you, we also ran outside briefly?
Speaker 1:No, it's similar, very similar, yeah, I mean. I like them. They're fun. Yeah, we did.
Speaker 2:It was good.
Speaker 1:Good, so that was fun.
Speaker 2:Building grit Trying to that's good Trying to.
Speaker 3:And 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 1:your was that on your day of ice cream cake. That was the day before, Not to.
Speaker 3:We 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 1:Yes, I enjoyed the pieces, pieces you want.
Speaker 3:That was the best thing ever.
Speaker 1:They bought me cake, so if you're listening, thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 3:That was pretty cool.
Speaker 1:Some 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 3:There are.
Speaker 1:There 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 3:They're super nice.
Speaker 2:I agree. Yeah, our friend that was like oh, I didn't like them. I couldn't understand that.
Speaker 3:Me neither they didn't like the preview of their shirts. They didn't like the material so nice.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:And 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 1:no, 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 2:I 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 1:of it so I can put it on the.
Speaker 2:Instagram. Oh, but with like your fucking, like arms were kind of in front of it, it wasn't was he wearing the shirt?
Speaker 1:was it doing like, uh, like one of these, or something?
Speaker 2:that'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 3:I don't know how far into the podcast is, so have fun figuring out.
Speaker 2:Your time stamping is with the time of day. I'm new to this, I'm sorry. Yeah, time of day.
Speaker 3:Help 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 1:well, that's what was your role when you came in.
Speaker 2:Yes, that was.
Speaker 1:You 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 3:no oh, because I thought it was that one.
Speaker 1:No, 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 3:They'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 1:But 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 2:I was more so annoyed the one before that didn't record at all. Yeah, because that was a good one.
Speaker 3:Yeah, 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 1:Yeah 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 3:have 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 1:Like where did they go?
Speaker 2:like 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 3:what's the? What's the new abercrombie?
Speaker 1:I don't know what are you doing? He's trying to get out of the sun.
Speaker 2:We'll get blinds at some point this year.
Speaker 1:He's a light gingered-skinned man who needs to stay out of the sun for fear of skin cancer.
Speaker 3:Do you have some gingivitis cream right now? I think you might need it.
Speaker 2:Oh, 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 1:talking about so first off, is this getting serious.
Speaker 2:No, it's not.
Speaker 1:But we just finished this thought, anyway, anyways. Okay, now go.
Speaker 2:Like 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 3:I 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 2:I don't know if anyone shops there.
Speaker 3:Abercrombie had good cologne.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're good. I like their clothes too.
Speaker 3:I don't know.
Speaker 1:I 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 3:buy like three of them, like these, these pair of jeans.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:Because 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 1:Oh, 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 3:I didn't know this was a thing, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:There's lots of chemicals in it, like and like, so bad. And did you know?
Speaker 3:so what would someone like of like you, people who look like you do?
Speaker 2:well, 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 1:I don't know or is it because they just acclimatize themselves to it?
Speaker 2:right, 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 1:So I'm also not really going hard on the right, trying huberman's big about getting sun in your eye holes.
Speaker 3:Totally, and I'm I did your eye holes eye holes or like immediately when you wake up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 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 1:The signs sound solid to me. I'm in. Yeah, sold, sold.
Speaker 3:And with the summer, with young children, that's going to be a consideration you're going to have to have.
Speaker 1:No, but the key is just don't be an idiot and like let them roast in the sun.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Keep them covered up a little bit and you put like the given shade and and some of the like.
Speaker 2:Some 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 3:Right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like, hey, from like 7 to 10.30 and from 3.30.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but what if you are, I guess is the question.
Speaker 2:huh Well, cover up, wear a hat, right Like? I think you still need to use your brain a little bit.
Speaker 1:What about mosquito repellent?
Speaker 2:We put so many chemicals on our body. Yeah, so many.
Speaker 3:And 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 1:And 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 2:What 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 3:Yeah, 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 1:Like you know what I mean.
Speaker 3:Like 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 1:It's not good for you. Uh, have you watched uh three body problem? Yep, I'm not done it yet.
Speaker 2:Really good, yeah, I'm liking it though I'm gonna have to read the second book. Have you read?
Speaker 1:the book. I haven't no the book. I haven't no the book is it worth it?
Speaker 2:It'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 1:Okay, I'm liking the show. Haven't read the book.
Speaker 2:I also finished Shogun.
Speaker 3:I haven't finished that yet One of our friends pronounced it correctly, and he is Japanese Shogun.
Speaker 2:I can't pronounce it as good as him. Which friend?
Speaker 3:Not Tony, but the other.
Speaker 2:The one you work with.
Speaker 3:Yes, the other person we work with.
Speaker 2:And he said Shogun.
Speaker 3:Shogun, shogun, shogun.
Speaker 2:I wish he would say that to me.
Speaker 3:When he did it I was like I was in the show.
Speaker 1:I 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 1:I 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 3:It's a huge deal.
Speaker 1:It's amazing, super neat, yeah, just super cool. We're looking forward to that.
Speaker 3:Tim there was no date announced. They just said Contender Series It'll be fall, though I believe yeah, no date announced.
Speaker 1:They just said Contender Series. Oh okay, it'll be fall, though I believe that's.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 1:Anyway, it just popped in my head, I don't know why.
Speaker 2:Anyone else we can congratulate on their achievements.
Speaker 3:Sure, let's see, we had a friend who turned who, was it Not 40, not?
Speaker 2:41.
Speaker 3:40. Was it up there, yeah, the other day. So congratulations to him.
Speaker 1:Well job, well job by jb turning uh having a birthday of 42 don't say 32, 42, yeah, how do you?
Speaker 3:feel I feel like I'm 20 still, yeah, like 42 is like.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 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 1:Like, 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 2:Yeah, you look nice.
Speaker 3:Thanks, I would say you look just as good as when I met you.
Speaker 2:I'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 3:No, he didn't flex the muscles, felt us talking about them. They were like ooh, hello.
Speaker 1:Lately 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 1:Stop 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 3:When'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 2:It's going to be so shitty.
Speaker 3:It's going to be a while.
Speaker 2:Do you remember the first time you're like I'm now stronger than my dad.
Speaker 1:I remember, yeah, there was a realization at some point that was sad.
Speaker 2:That makes me sad.
Speaker 3:We 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 1:I 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 2:I saw like when your kid's gonna be able to like. Well, I think, perform you at least 10 years another 10.
Speaker 3:You got 10 years, yeah, yeah uh, I, I think, uh.
Speaker 1:So 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 1:Yeah, 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 2:It is good, I like it. I was like we should be doing that.
Speaker 3:I like that stuff.
Speaker 1:The 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 1:But, 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 2:I've never really puked after working out.
Speaker 1:Like I've dry heaved a little bit. Yeah, me too, but I've never puked Me, neither.
Speaker 2:Yeah neither have I. Is that just a? Is that a physiological thing?
Speaker 1:I 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 3:Yeah, 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 2:Um, do we have anything we want to update the listeners on?
Speaker 1:uh, 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.
