Thank you enjoy the episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.
Speaker 2The laws were lacking context, and we're kings.
Speaker 1How are you, Kody? Well, other than CJ's intestines, I tried to escape his stomach.
Speaker 3Oh no, what happened?
Speaker 2I have a hole in my abdominal wall.
Speaker 3Oh, no damn you 15s uh, yeah it hurts how did that come to be?
Speaker 2um, I think that it's because I am of an inferior design, not true?
Speaker 3not true. Don't believe it, don't say it I don't know.
Speaker 2I went to the doctor's day. I was like, hey, I have this really painful lump in my belly button, and then he proceeded to finger fuck my belly button does this hurt? Yeah, I was like well, yes, it does. You could stop any moment oh no, is it inguinal?
Speaker 3I don't really know. Inguinal, what's that word?
Speaker 2inguinal is where you're shoving your fingers right now.
Speaker 3Yeah, my belly button is not in my pelvis okay, you did say belly button. I don't know if you're exaggerating or if that was the actual place literal belly button.
Speaker 1Uh, the other day, while we were working, he was wondering if, uh, he had trauma to his belly button that was tuesday, so we were using the practice medication he thought somebody shot some practice medication into his belly button accidentally. But uh, alas, alas we have an answer.
Speaker 2It was probably the deadliest day before.
Speaker 3Yeah, so then do you get surgery or what?
Speaker 2um, it sounds like they will be entering my body. Nice yeah jealous.
Speaker 1Can we record that we're? Not recording we should record that the entering of his body and fixing of his just make it like my cell phone ringtone or something yeah, I just don't know if it's consensual uh well, you're gonna have to agree to show up. So I think in that sense, you consented.
Speaker 2Oh, there's so much I don't know. You gotta push the picture button I think, I've dropped my phone too many times. Um, we were talking about this before you arrived. Have you ever been entered? Okay, hold on, we should clarify what we were talking about, because that could lead to a weird discussion here, you want to clarify that.
Speaker 1I kind of just want to let it buck See where he goes with it. We're talking about surgery. Oh, before that got strange, well, one time in basketball, yeah, I was trying to think of the best way to talk about that.
Speaker 3Like pretty minor stuff like teeth and a little lip one time.
Speaker 1This grape, Zevia, is amazing. It's pretty good it tastes like grape pop yeah.
Speaker 2With zero of the guilt. Zero of the guilt. Oh, pretty good, it tastes like grape pop. Yeah, with zero of the guilt, zero of the guilt.
Speaker 3Oh my God, I might start drinking these All the carbonation.
Speaker 1Sorry for interrupting you, sorry, I just was taken aback by how good that tasted.
Speaker 3I know they're pretty yummy.
Speaker 1Okay, sorry, you've had some minor surgeries.
Speaker 3Yeah, I got my gums, which is a weird one, and don't think there's anything else.
Speaker 1What about your pectoral?
Speaker 3no, that's just life. Got that surgery from the big man. Let's make him even more different?
Speaker 1how tall can we make him and what body parts can we remove?
Speaker 3what does he not need? And the girls will still be scared of him have you ever been put under? Yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 2I get drugs, I get them yeah, see, I don't think that's amazing at all that was scary, yeah, but then what was that?
Speaker 1for wisdom.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's kind of like I don't saw, because we were talking about this before and my wisdom teeth was the only time I've been put under. I don't like that. Somebody just presses the off button right and like.
Speaker 1I think that the vast majority of people who die die because the anesthetic don't tell me this I don't want to. The number one leading cause of death well, I think, I think that there's a lot of accidents in hospitals. Oh, totally, there's a. The number's crazy actually we should have. Only we had a jamie looking up, uh, but the um, a lot of people so, and I think a lot of it is like that the anesthetic is the issue sometimes so like right before he pulls the trigger, just looks would be like hey bro, you got your numbers right, right, yeah, hold up, hold up.
Speaker 3You're 300 pounds, right, and?
Speaker 1I just am realizing that when I said vast majority, I have no idea what I'm talking about. But, I feel like people die a lot because of anesthetics.
Speaker 3An incidence of 6.4 per 100,000.
Speaker 2So 0.6%, or is that 0.06%?
Speaker 3It's low, but it happens 95% confidence interval.
Speaker 2Well, that's a lot less I don't want to be put under with a 95% confidence that I'm coming back. There's a 5% chance you stay asleep. Well, congratulations, you get some forever sleep out of this one. Oh no, we made it.
Speaker 1Congratulations, you have life insurance now. Yeah.
Speaker 2I also like to have life. Exactly, I agree. Um, yeah, I don't like. And when I got put under for my wisdom teeth, I had like small snippets of consciousness in the middle of it, like I remember the doctor just reefing on my teeth, my head like moving, like banging against the table.
Speaker 1So it's really in there, yeah that's the messed up part is like when you kind of know how bodies are treated when they're like unconscious. Yeah, you're like, what are they doing to you while you're just out? They're not being gentle, that's for sure. No knee surgeries, or knee replacements oh yeah, they're like a hammer and they're just chiseling, like shoving the thing in the nose and like re-chiseling up things in there what if it's like a surgery, like in your inguinal hernia, and they're just shit talking?
Speaker 2your dick probably are. Look at this, look at this huge thing he's so attractive, nice hair what doesn't he have so jealous? You know the ones where they they put people under but like the person's not under, but can't say anything.
Speaker 1Oh yeah yeah, like that would be. Yeah, that would be insane. But they can feel. They can feel everything, but they like can't talk. Yeah, uh, that's nightmare uh, that's the good thing about vasectomies is they don't put you under so they can't make funny. They have to. They have to remain professional.
Speaker 3Well, they still can.
Speaker 1Well, sure, I guess they could.
Speaker 2They literally have your balls in their hand.
Speaker 1Yeah, but you're wide awake.
Speaker 3Oh, that is fun. So fun, you're right, so fun. I don't know if I'd want to be wide awake for that.
Speaker 1Oh, dude, it was the most awkward thing I've ever done. Well, I be like, uh, more awkward thing, sorry, more awkward than getting a finger in your boom boom. Uh, yeah, I would say it's more awkward. It was awkward because the whole thing's awkward. So basically like, hey, you walk into this room thinking okay, I'm gonna put on a gown, we're gonna do this. It was like, okay, walk up to the table here, all right, just drop your pants to your ankles.
Speaker 1I'm like like to my ankles or take them off, like no, just not keeping your ankles, it's, we won't be here that long. And I was like okay, so right away I was like this is weird. And then you just basically drop them to your ankles and lay down on the table like la la, and then it was just an awkward experience. And then they do some freezing and some shaving, shaving and then freezing.
Speaker 3You didn't appreciate. I did, but apparently not well enough and so I needed to. We don't trust this.
Speaker 1Yeah it didn't like go right bald, so they had to do some trimming, trimming the hedge yeah and then uh, then yeah, you smell the burning and it's just. And yeah, the whole time I was just trying to like close my eyes and just not think about what's happening don't get hard, shit, shit, shit.
Speaker 3And I don't like, I don't know how many.
Speaker 1It makes it awkward when you say multiple times like oh, it's really cold in this room, eh. Two things that turn me on smoke and cold.
Speaker 3Oh no, it's really cold in here. My six-year-old got put under for like she had a bunch of cavities we now know how to brush teeth so they like capped her teeth so that when the new teeth came in they wouldn't have cavities. Oh, it was maybe just like an insurance scam, whatever. It's paid a lot of money but they put her under and so she's like falling asleep all graceful and stuff like that, and then she starts to like freak out with her limbs and the guy's like yeah, it's pretty normal, it happens. You can hold her arm down if you want you're tired out, please?
Speaker 3I was like cool, this is terrifying maybe like start with that, oh by the way your child's gonna look like they're possessed or fighting for their life.
Speaker 1Yeah, this is why we normally tie them down, but your parents aren't around. Yeah, right, I'm cool, that that's fine. But that's what's weird like about consciousness in some ways. Right, it's like there's those if you go and you go under and you're gone like you do not exist during that period of time.
Speaker 1Yeah, but you could die and you wouldn't even. You wouldn't have a clue, like you just went. Yeah, exactly that's what's messed up about that. Yeah, you like count down, you're like 10, 9 and you don't even get to 8 you're just like gone and then like if you never woke up, that would that.
Speaker 2That's it, like you would never know and there's nothing else, and and this is the primary thesis of surrounding why the fuck I don't want to do this. Sorry, I guess we shouldn't be scary. Um, but you know what, back in the, the midi medieval times?
Speaker 1when they didn't have anesthetics and they just like did it without a stick, just clubbed you, oh man. Or like you should do that, you should just put a stick in your mouth, or like a giant strap of leather, or whatever they did not that tough okay, guys, I brought the leather I'm just gonna write on this let's do it um they uh like, how did they discover the first anesthetic?
Speaker 2be like you know what? We're gonna try some shit today no, that'd be.
Speaker 1Oh, that was too much. That would be interesting. Uh, yeah, they probably some trial and error, I would assume. Uh, no, you know, because it was like probably like uh, chloroform or something like that right initially.
Speaker 2But how's the first like, the first time, like how do they just be? Like, you know what I found, this liquid, I'm gonna put them, I'm gonna put it inside them I don't know, use of the opium poppy, oh yeah there you.
Speaker 3Herbal remedies as anesthetics date back to early civilization, opium. Yeah, so someone's having a muffin. They're like whoa. God damn, someone could cut me open right now.
Speaker 1Someone just slashed my arm. I didn't even feel it.
Speaker 2Can you get high eating a muffin?
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2But you can test apparently.
Speaker 3Smoke that muffin.
Speaker 1Get a torch, the poppy seed stuff, apparently. If you have to get tested from USADA or whoever you can test positive for cocaine, how silly is that Insane? You just piss hot from eating.
Speaker 2I had a poppy seed muffin this morning.
Speaker 1I had a lemon poppy seed cake. What?
Speaker 3I had the worst muffin of all time.
Speaker 2I can't fight anymore lemon poppy seed is good, though, yeah sure. Um, you're somebody with toes. Yep, you do have toes. I do. Have you ever had toe surgery?
Speaker 3oh yeah, uh you have.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, you have. Yeah, nice, did, yeah, did they, because we also we've all had, apparently everybody here's had toe surgery gross, yeah, neat, like when you were like in your teens.
Speaker 1Uh, yeah, yeah same like ingrown toenail.
Speaker 3Yeah, grossness yeah in your big toes yep, I only have half a toenail on this toe, yeah, yeah, that seems to be like a common thing.
Speaker 1That's so weird, yeah, we were just talking about this before I get any shot, because we took a long time to show up. I did uh, and well, it was also very early, but yeah, same thing, like I think I did three times, like where they just kept me, where they wrapped the thing around the toe, tighten it up, just put the uh anesthetic in the toe and then just cut along the edge of it and rip that piece out. Yeah, then I did that like three or four times just in walking into the hospital, into the doctor's, they did it. And then the one time I had it in both toes at the same time and, uh, it was so bad they just said we're just gonna put you under. And they put me under and they did both toes.
Speaker 1Oh, gross yeah For your toes oh and then I told the story to CJ already. But the worst part about that was they stuffed gauze in them, yeah, and then. So the next day I had to like soak my feet and then try to pull the gauze out, and I'll never forget this because it was probably the worst pain I've ever been in. So soaked it forever, kind of got like maybe a foot, I feel like they put nine feet of gauze in there.
Speaker 1It was insanity, yeah, it was so crazy, so I got like a piece out and I was trying to my parents trying to help me and I pulled it out a bit and then I got to get stuck. It's like. It's like I try to pull it, just stuck, I'm okay, I'm soaking for a bit longer. So if like an hour try to get some more out won't come out, took another hour and my dad's finally like, hey, man, we gotta get this out. Like I'm gonna just have to pull it and I'm like, no, not happening. And then we eventually I'm just like, well, what else we're gonna do?
Speaker 1so my mom held me down and my dad just was raw and just ripped it and it like is the worst pain I think I've ever had. This is making me sweat oh dude and then just like the flesh in, like the I think it's like the mesh gauze like stuff that obviously is gonna grow into skin. This will be good. Yeah, this will be perfect.
Painful Toe Surgery and Deadpool Obsession
Speaker 3Oh man, this will be easy to get out later it was the same like I had mine up before I moved down here and buddy would freeze it. I wouldn't feel anything. It was awesome, yeah. And then I came down here, same thing. Oh, go to the doctor, get it done, no freezing, and I'm expecting him takes like the clipper, whatever thing the scissor shoves it into my toenail my god cuts it. And then he's like, like you're saying with your wisdom teeth, like pulling, pulling, pulling.
Speaker 1I was like ah, I think my mom's like holding me down.
Speaker 3I was like oh my god, like, just how do you not?
Speaker 1how do you not put anything, anything I don't know?
Speaker 3he just shoved it shoved it in and cut it, and it was just like. Dude Throw up, yeah. So now I only have half that toenail. That's how they took half that toenail out, because he cut it like to the root Dude. Yeah, it was really bad.
Speaker 2See, they met me in the middle.
Speaker 1They had this like silver ray gun times to freeze it. Okay, it was the worst.
Speaker 2I've never seen a freezing gun. I know I want to. I want to find somebody else that's experienced this shit because it was the worst pain was your dr arnold schwarzenegger and batman the worst batman uh-huh, dude, it hurts so much. But then my feet were frozen, and then same thing. They they filled my toes with gauze. Apparently the principles of wound packing apply to packing toes too right. Pack hard deep into the bone. Yeah exactly Fuck me.
Speaker 1I wonder I was just thinking about if you just sat on your foot for a long time and let it go to sleep and then let them do it, would it be okay?
Speaker 3Try to masturbate with your foot.
Speaker 1I don't know how much dexterity you have. A stranger yeah uh, foot, strange.
Speaker 2Like I feel like that would work, I feel like that'd be good enough. Like you sit on your part.
Speaker 1I don't think it would work, you don't think so I like how numb your foot is, like you, or like you remember, have you ever had where you slept? Fall asleep with both arms and you wake up and both, both are sleeping and you're like, you have like flop them to the side, because neither of them work. Usually, if it's one, you just kind of pick it up and drop it to the side, but if it's both, you have to flop them.
Speaker 2You have that moment in your brain like have those ever to come back? Is this dead?
Speaker 1There's people that I think have had to have their limbs amputated from that, I think you'd have to be like what? Six hours plus?
Speaker 2Well, I think it involves some drug intoxication, that's true. Um, it's kind of a design flaw that your toes like all the nails and your toes just always fuck up your toes.
Speaker 1Yeah, my uh daughter was getting, like she's starting to get them a bit, but actually there's things there's like this stuff you put it can put on your nail that somehow like affects the curvature of your nail. That stops the ingrowing uh into the outside, digging into it, yeah, and it's like something. I can't remember what it is, but my mother-in-law actually uh told my, my kid about it and she put it on. It actually worked really well and it went away.
Speaker 2Uh, this zevia is phenomenal yeah, it's not bad.
Speaker 1I'm loving these. I've never had this before I I love that.
Speaker 2This is absolutely as guilt free as a bubbly totally is it as guilt freefree as a bubbly.
Speaker 1Totally Is it as guilt-free Because? Is stevia actually okay for you? I don't know.
Speaker 2It's a plant.
Speaker 1Plants aren't bad right.
Speaker 3I think it's fine. No plants can be bad for you. No.
Speaker 2Wow, it does have some caffeine in it.
Speaker 3Yeah, some of them don't. I think that one does. Carbonated water, natural flavor, citric acid stevia caffeine free yeah, there you go, the coke ones do did you get this at costco? Uh, there is a variety pack at costco I. I just like the cola ones and my lady likes the root beer ones, so you can.
Speaker 1But no, I didn't uh, right before you showed up, we were also, uh, about to discuss um, so my child is turning 11 right away and for some reason, is obsessed with Deadpool, even though he can't watch it. And then I was like to my wife. I'm like, well, it's been a long time since I've watched it. Keep this in mind. I'm like I know there's lots of swearing, but I'm like, is it? But, besides the swearing, is it too much? And so I'm like I need to rewatch it. You think so? Well, he talks about like masturbation and stuff like that doesn't he?
Speaker 1I don't, I don't remember when he's the tiny hand, it doesn't make masturbation.
Parenting and Swearing
Speaker 3It's hilarious.
Speaker 1I'm gonna have to watch it and because I'm like, if it's just the swearing, I'm like, okay, I, I'd like, I'm, I'd like to think that my children are naive and I, I've shielded them from the world, but I know that's not true. Uh, they're like, and that's my, my daughter's points out all the time, you should hear the kids to talk about my school. It's a little swearing on a tv show, it's not a big deal. I'm like, okay, she's cool. Yeah, she's, she's 14 now, she knows everything, uh, anyway. So I'm like, okay, I need to re-watch it to kind of have a better, because I have a gauge on whether or not. Yeah, it's just too old. Yeah, cause that's what I told him. It's like you cannot watch this. But then the crazy, the thing that drives me crazy and you're going to experience this and so will you is like there he has got friends who literally have no restrictions on what they watch or play or do which is not good.
Speaker 3It's not good.
Speaker 1I completely agree, it's not good. But then it's like but these are the kids that he hangs out with, and so you know, they're talking about things that he doesn't even really know yet, right, and so he's learning from them, yeah, and you're like ugh, it's not good.
Speaker 3It's almost like having providing alcohol to your kids. It's like they're going to do it. Yeah, do it now, but like do you, but do you not disagree?
Speaker 1do you agree with that to at a certain age? Obviously not now, but like I'm saying like 16, 17, 18, it's like I mean, 18 is different. So 16, 17, you're like okay, is my head in the sand, thinking they're never going to do it no or is it like you some?
Speaker 3some tiny exposure under your supervision is better than not oh, I totally agree, yeah, yeah, yeah, like my parents are never against it, but I never really did it and my dad like would have beer and stuff, like you want to try some, right, and I was like no, like I'm good, whatever. Or like I had a sip one time, like that's disgusting, why do?
Speaker 1you do that, yeah.
Speaker 3So yeah, like I was, I think that makes sense, right like they're gonna do it.
Speaker 1They're gonna swear, they're gonna do right and that's kind of yeah, I'm sorry, and that's kind of like my thoughts on this movie. It's like again I'm not saying I'm going to. If anyone's freaking out saying it's absolutely not appropriate, I probably agree. But I just need to re-watch it to kind of refresh myself. Is it just swearing? And I think there's more adult things than that I think there's some sexual connotations.
Speaker 1Yeah which I mean it'll probably go over his head. I don't know. Well, I'd have to re-watch it, but I just started thinking. Like you know you're, you try to shield your kid as much as you can from certain things. Yeah, I grew up in a different way, where I was shielded from everything, like we weren't allowed to watch the simpsons.
Speaker 1Yeah, uh, yeah pretty much yeah, pretty much for a lot like uh, for a lot of the time till we got older, um, but that was like a big thing and it's funny because I. It's funny because I don't, I don't, I don't abide by the same things, like the same ideals that maybe my parents did as I grew up, but yet it's like so ingrained in you to like so the swearing thing, like I'm not oblivious to the fact that they hear it all the time at school, totally, uh. But part of me is like still like oh you, oh you, you can't say that word in front of my kid, like it's just, it's weird, yeah but I I think there's a lot of power in teaching the kid.
Speaker 2It's just word, yeah, no, but like, also like the ability, like to restrict your language, right, right, like it's just because you can say it doesn't mean you should. I mean right, I am the worst offender, I swear way too much and it doesn't make you sound smarter. There's limited application for it.
Speaker 1Do you think? But I think that I'll change. I think that's interesting. I definitely am different. At work is one thing Totally, and then at home I don't swear at all yeah that's me too. So it's like I think maybe, as your kid gets older, that'll probably be the case with you, or maybe it won't.
Speaker 1But I hope so, uh, but it's shitty fucking parents. But it's interesting because like you, and then why the reasons why like is it? And I can see. I can kind of see both sides of it. It's like in one. In one sense, it's just a word. It's just words, right, like, and I think you need to explain that those words people get offended by them potentially, and they mean certain different things and like, but at the same time, I also don't think that that, um, working through the different variations of what that word potentially means, or why people would be offended first, some of it people will be offended by it, some won't like. That's just a lot of thinking for a kid who just wants to say a word, right, I don't know. Like those sometimes those stupid instagram videos of those kids there's like swearing at the mirror, you're like. I think that kids seem too much for that age probably.
Speaker 3Yeah, and the like hateful words versus like right words. My, my four-year-old, said butthole the other day well, I laughed under my breath.
Speaker 3That's amazing hilarious, right, like when's the last time you heard the word butthole? It's so good, yeah, um, but yeah, like hateful words don't have any place in our house, right, but like swears, whatever funny words, yeah, they don't do that. But also nice, yeah, good, good one. It's a swear words in general is they can be just like, literally meaning nothing, or they can be hateful depending upon like the, the tone, the usage that, all the things right.
Speaker 1Maybe you take this as like a learning or a parenting experience I'm probably leaving you into. Yeah, I'm probably still going with. He's not allowed to watch it, but I just I told him I'd re-watch it and think about it, because he's like well, my friends watched it. My quality for friends jumped off a bridge. No, I didn't say that, but that's why I was like did you see their popcorn bucket that they're releasing?
Speaker 3no, it's like wolverine's head. And then you like reach it's like it's open mouth. You can see like his tongue and stuff oh that's amazing. They want people to fuck them just they do not care.
Speaker 1No, it's so funny yeah, I don't know, but I. But the thing is I thought that Deadpool did a funny kids version of it, where they bleeped out all the swears and he'd pop in the screen and be like hey, kids.
Speaker 2I feel like they did. I know, but I can't find it anywhere.
Speaker 1Because that's when I let him watch that one, because I know they cut the swears out of that one.
Speaker 2The F word is a very versatile word.
Speaker 1It is like it's probably the most versatile world in the english language, but it's weird that we have words like that it is weird because certain cultures like it's me, it means it's not offensive at all, it's so used, uh, that it doesn't mean anything really, and that's that's. The thing is like, we give it meaning by our like, our absence of it or our, our thoughts. I don't know how to try and explain this. Essentially, how our society views it gives it that meaning, that it does, that it's bad, or that it's, that it means something.
Speaker 2I don't know. Well, it's like the N word. I can't remember the comedian. He's really. I really like him. He was talking because he's from South Africa. Yeah, how, like the N word here. No, go In South Africa. It's like not a thing, right. So, like like in South Africa, you would call somebody the N word and they would just laugh at you and be like but like the word, like like kefir the equivalent yeah right, um, but here it's just a fermented yogurt.
Speaker 2Yeah, weird, weird don't buy that yeah, my god, I can't believe they put that on a puddle.
Speaker 1That is strange, because it is definitely our perception of it that gives it the meaning that it does. So then you're like what is it? Like? That's just like, what is it? What is it? Is it?
Speaker 2it's just a completely made up, just sounds you make with your mouth. Yeah, it's strange. It's weird that that's. It's just a completely made-up, just sounds you make with your mouth. Yeah, it's strange.
Speaker 3It's weird that that's how we just mix sounds in each other with our mouth holes. We all understand that they're mouth sounds.
Tesla and Automobile Enthusiasts
Speaker 2Bizarre. Oh my gosh Sounds Speaking of mouth sounds. How do you like your new Tesla?
Speaker 3Yes, it's fast.
Speaker 1It goes real fast. How come you didn't drive it here?
Speaker 3today. Uh well, I'm really trying to get the wife to like, like it so, so you're forcing her to drive it not forcing, that's a harsh word encouraging her. So she even texted me. She's like why didn't you bring your new car? And I was like, well, that's your car. And she laughed at me um, yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2I like it because I was really excited to see oh damn it.
Speaker 3Well, I should have brought it then. I'm sorry it's.
Speaker 1It's like it'd be like someone like, like someone like somebody who won a recent belt not bringing the belt to the podcast when they come on yeah, like all these people in our lives, have really cool things that they leave at home yeah, because like I don't have a belt or a tesla.
Speaker 2I got fucking neither of those. I have my other Tesla here. Yeah, look at that old jalopy. Hey, but if you'd like to buy it, it's for sale.
Speaker 3It's for sale. Hit me up.
Speaker 2I'll give you a great price On the.
Speaker 3Facebooks.
Speaker 2I'm surprised you haven't sold it yet I know.
Speaker 3Well, lots of people in Calgary want it.
Speaker 2I just don of want to keep it, but I don't. But I do, I don't know.
Speaker 3I like cars too much, do you do you own a gasoline powered automobile?
Speaker 2yeah, we have a giant yukon xl yeah, it's about balance um I'm presuming, though, that you are aware of the fact that electric vehicles are in no way better for the environment. Oh no, yeah, you just buy it because you like it. Zoomie fast, yeah, zoomie fast, yeah. Like how zoomy fast.
Speaker 3This like the new one. It hurt my neck when.
Speaker 1I stepped on it.
Speaker 3I was driving it home from Calgary and I was like let's just see what it can do, and it was like geez, like pushing me back into the seat. Yeah, like bananas fast.
Speaker 1It's a little scary. Actually I it's a little scary actually I did to my kids.
Speaker 3I was like, oh, telling them, one dude got mad at me.
Speaker 1What about it? He's like dad, I didn't do that, just trying to be cool son.
Speaker 3This is all I have.
Speaker 1Oh God, I love the meme of a cartoon. It was like the Tesla drivers he could see his head and his legs in the air, blowing himself he's like yeah, all Tesla drivers do it.
Speaker 3Yeah, I mean, yeah, I would if I could they're good, but they're just so fast and like fun and I still love, yeah, other cars too. I still want one. My dream cars would be like a Tesla or the truck, if it ever comes to Canada, and then like a 1987 Toyotaota fj land cruiser yeah, like just complete opposites, but super cool. I've heard the truck is just a piece of shit.
Speaker 1I've heard both like yeah yeah, but people like to hate tesla, like that's. The problem is like I don't know. The problem with reviews of like tesla's is that some people just like on fund the fundamental principle. They just want to hate tesla. So it doesn't matter what they would come up with. They'd be like this is shit. It's the worst thing I've ever made.
Speaker 2Yeah, because there's just people that are just oppositional to the thing.
Speaker 3Yeah, and like to Elon Musk in general, like it doesn't matter what he would do. It'd be like, no, fuck that guy. Yeah, I've.
Speaker 1Well, I think that would be a problem, because it's touted as oh, this thing's undamageable. It just tops nine millimeter bullets. The windows can't break. I'll show you, thank you.
Speaker 3I can't imagine what your deductible is going to be on that thing too. Yeah, that's a problem, it would be ridiculous.
Speaker 2I think it's just the reviews I've seen have been people trying to use it as a truck off-road yeah. Which I don't know, and I don't think it looks very cool.
Speaker 3Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2I don't know, yeah, and I know lots of people do Like, obviously you two do. Yeah, it's like a moon vehicle, but it's just yeah.
Speaker 3Reminds me of the car in aliens. I was like yes.
Speaker 2Do you think you'd ever get one? Oh?
Speaker 3I have like four reserved Do. It was refundable, it was fine, it's like 100 bucks. So I like, and I bought one like the day it came out like reserved one. I was like, yes, need that. And then I had this uh, brilliant idea. I was like, oh, I should like flip those. So I reserved two more and then they came up with a clause that if you flip it they'll sue you. I was like damn.
Speaker 3And then I heard that so you yeah, so I reserved another one through the canadian website because I heard your American reservations. Maybe don't mean anything because you're in Canada. I was like oh, so I panicked and I reserved another one. Now we wait.
Speaker 1See what comes through.
Speaker 2You're going to end up with four Tesla trucks, yeah, and no one to buy them.
Speaker 3Damn it.
Speaker 1At the end of the month, I think at the end of June I think, I'll be getting a Cadillac XLR Cool month.
Speaker 3I think I'll end of june I think I'll be getting a cadillac xlr cool yeah, I like those.
Speaker 1That's a corvette, it's the coupe, the two-door, uh convertible oh neat, this is very nice.
Speaker 3That was one of my favorite vehicles.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's kind of like uh, it's an older one, it's 2004, uh, but it's only got 40 000 kilometers on it. Damn, where are?
Speaker 3you getting that from, not my uncle you replace your truck. Buy it off them no, I'm.
Speaker 1I'm just going to buy a summer vehicle. That would be sexy, is it the V?
Speaker 3No, it's not the V. I think it was before the V's time. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1It's a cool looking car. It would just be a fun drive to work car.
Speaker 2Is it convertible? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, a hard top.
Speaker 2Nice, I'd like something where the roof comes off like a Jeep or something.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2Something you could go get an ice cream cone in.
Speaker 3That would be fun. You should do that. Cut the roof off your little.
Speaker 1Ice cream cone my 4Runner.
Speaker 2My 4Runner. Yeah, make a Jeep 4Runner, that would be awesome.
Speaker 3I would buy your 4Runner.
Speaker 2I, you're a forerunner, like all foreigners. Yeah, um, I need to put some work into it. Yeah, that was kind of my goal, excuse me. Uh is like it's doing okay, but it needs some work and I was like I've did a little bit of work, put some new rims and tires on it yeah, yeah that's I. Just I need to give it some love. I have this old piece of shit dodge right now that I'm trying to fix up so I can take it hunting oh nice, yeah, it that blue one.
Speaker 2Yeah, nice, it's a fucking pile of garbage.
Speaker 1Would you pay for that thing like?
Speaker 2a hundred bucks. No, I paid way too much for it. Oh, I 100% overpaid for it. Okay, I was afflicted by the want.
Speaker 1I'm surprised.
Speaker 2I've never known you to pay too much for vehicles before. This is a little bit different, because at least this is. I mean, this vehicle is very old and I was just like you know what I want? This truck, I want this one. This is the one I want.
Speaker 1This has to be the one this has to be the one.
Speaker 2And then I bought it and was like fuck, Caught me again. That's funny.
Speaker 3If you don't buy it. I got another buyer lined up here.
Speaker 2He really wants it, yeah scarcity is a powerful tool of influence. Yeah, it is. I wish if I'd won that $3,050,000 last night.
Speaker 3The hockey one, yeah, the.
Speaker 1Oilers. It was $6,050,000. Jeez, $3,000,000 for the winner. That's crazy. Yeah, some lady won it. Maybe it was my wife, it wasn't. I know your wife's name and it wasn't her name.
Speaker 3Does it show her name? Yeah, it does. If you go to the draws.
Speaker 1It'll show the name of everyone who's won. Just add her as a Facebook friend. Hey, girl hey.
Speaker 3Remember me. You said you owe me a million dollars.
Speaker 2How many of those urchins would come out of the woodwork? Oh, a lot A lot of them, so many.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's okay. 70 million is going to be mine tonight, tomorrow night.
Speaker 2I have no faith in that one Like at least. Like I don't really think when I buy a lotto max ticket that I'm going to win. That's why you don't have, that's why you don't win, that's why I'm trying, why I'm trying to manifest it. But I kind of thought last night I was gonna win the 50 50. I was like you know what I feel like life is like. The cards are kind of just here.
Speaker 1This is the one this is the one I didn't, so manifesting did not work, damn it I'm the opposite.
Speaker 3Like as soon as I buy a ticket, I'm like this is, I'm gonna spend it. I'm gonna. This is how I'm going to spend it. I'm going to buy this.
Speaker 1I'm going to buy that. Yeah, I think about that too.
Speaker 3But that's why I just don't buy it, because I'd rather just have a coffee or something.
Speaker 1Yeah, well, I'm like for me, it's like I just can't win if I don't have one. So I might as well get one, and if it doesn't happen, whatever.
Speaker 2Think of all the Teslas or the Riv I like oh, I mean, if you're saying you could have bought, have you, yeah, yeah, if he bought the ticket and won he could have like a stable of teslas and electric vehicles, or, like the porsche, um electric, what's that called taikan?
Speaker 3yeah cross yeah, yeah I would, and that would be me. I would buy lots of cars, I think I.
Speaker 2I actually don't think I would buy any car at the moment. At some point I would treat myself. I think I would just pay to have both of my vehicles totally fixed, Bitchin'.
Speaker 3Yeah, seriously, just completely redone?
Speaker 1No, you wouldn't. You would get rid of those vehicles and get new vehicles no I wouldn't, why you would. I wouldn't you want to bet, I will there's no way that you said what's the number like what's the number we're saying 10 mil to get the fuck out like yeah, just we're imagining. What are we imagining? How much?
Special Olympics and Manifesting Dreams
Speaker 23 million, okay, 3 million because that's what I was supposed to win last night. Okay, yeah, no, okay, that's different. I was thinking.
Speaker 1I was thinking the 70, so yeah, 3 mil. I could see that, yeah, okay, 70, you're not keeping your vehicle 100, no what?
Speaker 2what? Why? Because why would you, why wouldn't? I see, I'm already thinking about what I would buy with 70.
Speaker 1I was like daydreaming right now.
Speaker 3I was like just go down by like a redone fj yeah, you would go get something amazing.
Speaker 1You would get rid of that thing and you would go with something like maybe the same version, but like that's completely redone.
Speaker 2No, I would get that one redone, I wouldn't get rid it. I can tell you right now, I would not get rid of it. Actually, the Kia would fucking go Bye. But the other two aren't.
Speaker 3I appreciate that. I appreciate that.
Speaker 2I appreciate you, cool. I don't know. I don't foresee winning $70 million in my future. I am going to manifest hard tonight. Hard, I'm going to manifest so hard, oh nice.
Speaker 1I only last a couple minutes when I manifest that hard, take it easy.
Speaker 3The first couple and just really think about it. Then I sleep really well afterwards Just passed out.
Speaker 1Yeah, you've been going to CrossFit again. I have. Yeah, are you teaching? I haven't even stopped, are you teaching?
Speaker 3No, I do. Special Olympics. Powerlifting is what I coach right now it's a good time, but that's the only thing I coach.
Speaker 1And that's like a class at Framework.
Speaker 3Yeah, they used to do it at the Y, and then I was like, fuck that shit, I'm going to do a cool gym. So then I made them come to the Y and then I was like, like that shit, yeah, I'm to a cool gym. So then I made them oh, cool. So that's how many people are in that? Uh, it varies between like three to one to five kind of thing does it?
Speaker 1so special Olympics? Does it like vary in um, I'm trying to think how the words be used here. Does it vary in like their ability, like, uh, some people who are like kind of? I think in like actual competitions.
Speaker 3It does, yeah, whereas this is like pretty, whatever Like anyway.
Speaker 1The one thing I didn't know, I don't understand about Special Olympics is like, how do they gauge Like, so, like? Obviously there's probably there's categories and do they gauge like? How do they gauge in like ability versus like somebody who like?
Speaker 2because I've seen special olympics guys who, like they were an athlete, they lost a leg.
Speaker 1They got a new springy leg. I think that's para thank you sorry my bad. I'm so sorry I feel like an asshole, but they do have a leg. Sorry, uh murdered as right, but they, but people who are like, you know, they have, uh, their disability, but they're fairly functioning, like they're really functioning, uh, and they are athletic, versus like people, obviously, who are a lot less. Oh yeah, is that? Is that taken into account in categories, or is that just not?
Discussion on CrossFit and Athletic Competitions
Speaker 2we're not really taking it. I want to say it is because I follow or I'm not sure if I follow anymore um, like a special olympics swimmer that has a learning disability, which is categorized as, like this person is basically I don't think you would tell right talking to them that they are a special olympian, yeah, um, because so I I think they actually do a really good job of categorizing things appropriately so that, like it's not unfair yeah because right, like to be like everybody.
Speaker 2Pictures somebody with Down syndrome, right, which is awesome. Yeah, like severe.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2And that may like compete in a class that's appropriate for like healthy competition.
Speaker 3Yeah, right, totally, it's great. Yeah yeah, my one kid that comes he's like got Down syndrome and he's awesome Like he moves so well.
Speaker 2The happiest people on earth.
Speaker 3Yeah, like dude, dude, happiest guy it works so hard and like I brought him to like just actual crossfit classes because he just wants to do more, right, he always wants to do more work harder. And like your coaching background too right, it's just so hard to like teach people how to move yeah, but when they naturally do it. It's like, oh sweet, like this is easy, come on in, right, yeah. So yeah, he's good, I really like him. Like we might go to a competition somewhere, but yeah, got to figure that out.
Speaker 2It's really hard to teach people how to move. I know right Because it's like there's like the visual aspect, like, oh, just do it like this, but like the proprioception of their body. Right, you can't teach that. You have to learn how to feel to duplicate this movement. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3Especially GD deadlifts. God, everyone fucks up deadlifts.
Speaker 2If you fuck them up bad enough, your guts will fall out.
Speaker 3Oh no, Full circle. We came back full circle.
Speaker 1I started to do. We've been doing some, tony and I have been doing some more deadlifts again and we're like should we be doing these or should we not be doing these?
Speaker 3Yes, 100%, you should. I don't know.
Speaker 2Just don't. You can do that recruit multiple muscle groups at the same time.
Speaker 1Right, but the argument I've heard is like you're better off doing like cleans, sure, like just lighter weight cleans.
Speaker 3Or just do both.
Speaker 2I guess, yeah, I'd do both. I would you? Do you have success in coaching people to improve their what is it? The internal rotation of their shoulders and lat flexibility, in order to actually get into like a good overhead squat? Um, because that is like my struggle right now. Yeah, like I've, I've done it. There's definitely people better than me that do it because you, you have like your arms as long as mine yes and I always find like my arms have to be like almost freaking horizontal yeah to get any like far enough and it doesn't work.
Speaker 3There's actually a dude that works at the gym. Now, who's a magician?
Speaker 2I thought you were saying a mutant.
Speaker 1He's a mutant.
Speaker 3Well, that's me. But yeah, he was like actually a working kinesiologist, not like me who just had a kinesiologist. It's easy, but like does like kin stretch and this and that and like really works on internal rotation of like your hips and this and your shoulders and back, whatever Right. So he made a program for me for my hips, cause I have like zero internal rotation of my hips and it's just so painful but so good. Um, so, if you have something that concerns you he would be someone to reach out to Interesting.
Speaker 3So if you have something that concerns you, he would be someone to reach out to Interesting, cause he's quite good. Um, I was just found like it just takes time right, like I overhead squat probably once a week If like snatching or over squat or whatever right Some sort of motion. So just over my 12 years of doing it it's gotten better, better, better, but is it interesting, I guess, of your shoulders?
Speaker 2no, this would be internal, this would be external, external, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's tough. This is a very tough movement, um, and, and, to be fair, like years, a couple years ago, when I was just doing a lot for funsies, got pretty good at it- like I got getting into the position and then then I probably didn't maintain it well enough. My shoulders always felt like burnt out afterwards. Uh, it's funny those things like the mobility. If you just neglect it, oh yeah, it goes away for sure oh yeah, gone.
Speaker 2Yeah, if you don't use it, you lose it which is why like movements, like deadlifts are easy because right you do that every day.
Speaker 3Yeah, hinge pattern every day yeah, um, I was.
Speaker 1I spent a lot of time last weekend watching the uh western finals cross of the crossfit games. Yeah, haddy killed it, crushed it. It was crazy she was ahead, like she has number one position going into the last workout. Yeah, um, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 3That was awesome, that was very fun to watch because she's worked so hard and she's a super nice person. Um, yeah, it was cool like day one. Like first place I said oh, like right on send her a message like good for you, like keep going, you got it. Day two, day or still first place, holy shit, yeah, you're fucking kicking ass. Yeah, and that's a day three, first place going to the last one. I was like.
Speaker 3Oh my god, like good for you and it's funny, like she kind of mentioned, um, it's funny how like your goals can change, like her goals. Like crossfit games, right, crossfit games, I've been that for years, right, and then going into that last workout, it's like, well, I probably want to like win this whole thing and like if I don't win, I'm gonna be disappointed. It's like, no, no, right. Take a step back and realize what your goal is.
Speaker 1Right like and like she was the only going into that last workout, she was the only person who had already clenched. She didn't have to do the workout and she clinched this block to the games. Yeah, everyone else.
Speaker 3If they had like absolutely gods, like nothing, they would have potentially not made it so and like she tied points wise, uh, the lady who got third place overall the cross of games last year.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's pretty legit that last workout was brutal 70 pound dumbbells, uh, lunges. I don't even know if I could like. I feel like I'd die you could do it.
Speaker 3It's really hard. We go really slow. We definitely hit the old time cap. That's's what I talk about. Yeah, 100%.
Speaker 1I'm just such a like my goals, not my goal, I don't know. I'm so ADD with working out Like I want to do everything and I can't, and it drives me crazy, so like I spent like the weekend watching that I'm like, but after that I'm like I might go back to framework. I don't know, because I just I or you might come back to jiu-jitsu, who knows? Yeah, we'll see um anyway, yeah, it's uh super cool, has she been? Have you talked to her since she got back?
Speaker 3No, I haven't seen her since she got back, but I'm very excited to see her. Give her a crisp high five.
Speaker 2Yeah, the city produced two athletes basically that are going to the games right now from Western Canada, right Fikowski.
Speaker 3Three. Who's the third? Well, sorry, has produced three.
Speaker 2Right, I mean this year Fikowski and Hattie.
Speaker 1Fikowski's gone to East 500 or 600? But he's.
Speaker 2BC based now, isn't he? Yeah, he lives in Kelowna or something like that.
Speaker 3And then Vellner is, I think, originally from Red Deer, which is pretty crazy. Patty B.
Speaker 2I like to sometimes make fun of CrossFit, mostly just out of jealousy, because I can't do it. It's very easy to make fun of.
Speaker 3It's like Tesla, it's easy to make fun of, it is.
Speaker 2But it's funny, like what I do, like about it. A lot of people get lost in sports. I'm not. I'm just shockingly not a big sports guy. Right, I don't watch a lot of sports, oh yeah, but like so, like football, you know, it's like the recreation of war games. Basically, yes, right, I like things like CrossFit, because it's not Right, right, it's in no way us just fulfilling that tribal desire to watch people kill each other.
Speaker 2Yeah totally fair, right it's it's. Instead. It's just like hey watching people, just like go perform yeah, it's awesome.
Speaker 1Yeah, I, yeah, I think it's, and it's impressive to see the, the variation of like. I mean, yes, you're talking about freaks of nature all the people who actually make to the games are all just freaks but the variation of like, uh, body type is crazy. Like you'll have like just absolutely jacked humans and you'll have guys who look pretty average I don't think they are freaks, no, they are.
Speaker 2I don't, I don't like, yes, I'm sure there's some genetic outlierness, but you sent us, you sent me the chris williams thing today. Right, I think they just work a little bit harder.
Speaker 1Yes, yes for sure, but I think there's both, I think, and I mean, okay, freaks could mean different things, and I think what I'm thinking is, yes, they're physically freaks of nature, but part of that has to do with their ability to work right. So their ability to the volume of work that they do to get there is crazy. And most people, people a wouldn't do it because it's too hard, um, and and really couldn't because. Then they see that this is the problem with most people. They see that and they're like, oh okay, I guess I gotta start doing four days.
Speaker 3Well, you, can't whoa slow down. Yeah, you can't just start doing four days like these guys have been doing.
Speaker 1They started doing crossfit classes, or maybe they didn't, but some of them started doing crossfit classes and then they started doing maybe two in one day or they whatever. Then they started like, oh, I'm gonna start building some volume in this thing and like it took years like how long has had even doing it uh we gotta be like at least six years, I remember working out at the college when haddy was there.
Speaker 2I'm not sure if she'd remember me, but you're pretty memorable. I'm pretty unmemorable, no. Oh the ginger guy, she really she like cause she's always doing handstands and stuff like that, and that was that was probably like right when I was getting into calisthenics and I was like oh, this girl's so good at handstands and I can. She'd been working on that craft for a long time Like this was like 10 years ago almost a bit. Yeah, it paid off in that workout.
Speaker 1She had to handstand walk. It's like crazy I don't know how many feet that was. People were like running.
Speaker 3Oh, dude, that one. Yeah, yeah, there was that one guy, I was just like it was crazy, very impressive.
Speaker 1Yeah, I just a display of like what the ability your body could do if you had the discipline to like put it through some stuff. Totally yeah, and they're sure not everyone's gonna get. Even if they did do that, they wouldn't get to the crossfit games. But that being said, and so and and just and again. I've talked about this before on this podcast, but the crossfit community, I think, is one of the best communities as far as just it. I I mean obviously every gym could be different, but general. I feel like it's insanely welcoming to literally everybody. Like it doesn't matter where you're at, you could be like a useless human who's never done anything and you show up at a CrossFit gym, they'll give you the time of day and they'll say how can we help you?
Speaker 2Let's figure this out. But that's like our friend George, who refuses to listen to this podcast or come on this podcast.
Speaker 3What a guy.
Speaker 2He makes a really good point. He's like for that person that just walks into the gym. Crossfit is really good at teaching physical literacy.
Speaker 1For sure, right Agreed.
Speaker 2Which not a lot of other working out sports can teach.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2Right, just the ability to move your body and bear weight in various positions.
Speaker 1Yeah, I want to get my. I want to put my 14-year-old in it. She's finishing basketball and I want to get my. I want to put my 14-year-old in it. She's finishing basketball and I want to look into maybe getting her to do it in the summer before school, because I think it just again just builds athletes. It really does. These people are just their cardio capacity and their muscular endurance and their work capacity is crazy and that translates really well, I think, into just sports in general. So, even if it's not a thing that you want to do professionally or do as a sport, it's something that develops your skills in like whatever basketball or whatever it is you want to do.
Speaker 3Yeah, I wish I would have done it Like I kind of found it at the end of my basketball career.
Speaker 2Yeah, oh God, well, if you could have been doing it. Yeah Right, like I just got to bench two plates. I just got to get there.
Speaker 1That's all I got to do.
Speaker 2I just got to get two pies.
Speaker 3Just got to bench one plate. Come on, damn it.
Speaker 2It's funny. Have you listened to our last podcast with Farmer Joe?
Speaker 3No, I just want to listen to the bubbly drink one. I'm a little bit behind, I apologize. You got lots of them. Who's Farmer Joe?
Consistency and Hard Work in CrossFit
Speaker 2My neighbor. Oh yeah he's a beauty. He said something to me that's really funny. It's stuck with me for the last few days. You remember when he said like he just doesn't force things.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Because he was talking about growing his farm, right, he started with a dog, livestock and horses, all this stuff and he's like you know, I? He's like, yeah, I just I don't force things. Um, he just keeps kind of like focusing on it and like working on it, and I think that's probably like when you say like the guy, that's just like you know what I got to do four days.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2That's probably why these people fall off, whereas, like I think, if I can picture what very little I know about hattie or these athletes or like generally people that are going to the games is like not forcing it, they're just working on it every day yeah right, uh, which is a like. I think that's where a lot of people you lose a lot of people because they just don't work on it every day and their ability to stick with it.
Speaker 1Like this is, honestly this is I struggle with this a ton, and you know, we all know this and I think we all do to some degree like there's too many things we want to do. Like I want to be good at this, this and this, but I can't because I don't focus on any of them. I do this for a month, and then that for a month, and then this for a month, and I know that's not the way to get it done, but it's just like I want to do it all and I think, yeah, it is, and it's like I don't know how to get around that. To like, honestly, because like I think you should do what you like to do and so I don't think it's. And again, in general, keeping your body guessing and doing different workout routines I mean, it's not a big deal.
Speaker 3You're still doing something confusing them muscles you're still doing something right, but like you're never going to get great at anything doing that. But and I guess what's?
Speaker 1the purpose. Why are you doing? It is the question at anything doing that?
Speaker 3but, and I guess, what's the purpose? Why are you doing? It is the question, right, farmer joe is right, I think because I was kind of early on my career. I think, oh, I want to be competitive, even though I'm gigantic and not built for crossfit, um, so I'd like focus on like this, I'd like, oh, strength day this day, gymnastic day that day, whatever, whatever. But like, honestly, just like doing classes makes me better.
Speaker 3Showing up consistently and doing classes, doing what the class is doing, working on stuff like oh, we're doing ring muscle-ups today. Cool, I'm garbage at those. Let's go play on that right, and that's how you get better. Just the consistency, right.
Speaker 1Weird.
Speaker 3I know what if you did it over?
Speaker 1time. Yeah, what happens if you're consistent?
Speaker 2over time. What if you had a shirt that said Is that a good thing? Did something happen after?
Speaker 3consistency. What if you divide results by consistency? Yeah, what if you move the equation?
Speaker 1around. Consistency over time is results, and then if you put that over there and you times that by that, yeah, but this is the stupid thing about we say it's way too much. But this is the stupid thing about it is it's that simple.
Speaker 3Yeah, it's that simple.
Speaker 1It doesn't mean it's easy, but it is that simple. Just show up and do the work. And then again, that is the money thing about CrossFit. Is you pay your $100 a month, or $130 a month, whatever the thing is. You're like, ooh, that's kind of pricey, but it's like it isn't. You show up, you don't have to think about what I need to do today. No, the coach is like, hey, this is what we're doing, like awesome, let's do it. Get after it. Go home. You're a mess and it's awful, right, like that's like that hour is great.
Speaker 3It sucks. I don't enjoy it when I'm there, but I work hard and then it's done. Yeah, and you carry on with your life completely.
Speaker 1Yeah, I need to go back damn it.
Speaker 3That's the other beauty thing. I'm like hattie or like patty velner these guys who've been doing it for a long time, um, like you know how much it sucks for doing, like those certain workouts yeah, the girl workouts or whatever. Like the open is always awful, but they still show up and they push themselves to that dark place. Yeah, and it was successful, right. Like I'll look at some workouts now. Like there was murphs the other day, yeah, and I was like fuck, I don't want to do so.
Speaker 3I didn't because it's awful, like I've done it before and it like wrecks me yeah, I'm like, no, I'm good, like I've done it five times I don't need to do it we should have done murph, we should have done whatever molly did next year yeah, she did.
Speaker 2Uh, george and our british friend did it too, a couple weeks, yeah, um, yeah, I don't know. I don't know if you need to rush to crossfit and just sign up to do it like I. I'm not going to.
Speaker 1Well, I'm not because I can't, because, like I've, just because that's literally I know myself and that's a knee-jerk reaction to be watching the whole weekend of it being like I want to do this, and then it's like no, I have, I've got a goal for the year.
Speaker 1This is the thing but you can, you can also just do those, I know things I know, but it honestly is not the same and this is the problem with it is like I know that I could do those workouts on my own. I could look up there's websites where there's a daily workout every day. I could do those, but it's like it's not the same thing. It just isn't Going to the actual gym with the actual people and the fitness, the setup, everything.
Speaker 3It's just like it's a thing totally yeah, I have, yeah, like tens of thousands of dollars of gym equipment. I use it all the time. If my wife's listening, um, no, like it, just yeah, the classes are better. Like the communities, it's all better.
Speaker 1Coaching is better, it's yeah, yeah you're right, speaking of that, we should, we should have that coach maybe on here one day, yeah talk about physical literacy, yeah, yeah it'd be good.
Speaker 2I'll reach out. Um, yeah, that would be good I would like to do, and that's the thing is, we don't have enough time for all these types of workouts, all these things. And Murph, I'm such a bitch, I should have done it. Let's do it tomorrow, I know.
Speaker 3It doesn't matter. Oh, I'm busy, I don't know. I I'll wait until next year.
Speaker 2I am not currently sure what my ability to do is Tell me Pope, but it's funny. I've been listening to Cameron Haynes' book right now. It's awesome. And so when you yeah, they show up to the open, hattie, whatever, they're just suffering during these workouts where you don't have to suffer if you don't want to.
Speaker 1Maybe the open you do.
Speaker 2But on generic class day you could come and mail it in totally.
Gym Banter
Speaker 1But then if you just maximize your suck during your training sessions, you're gonna try and minimize your suck during the competition, which is what cameron haynes is talking about right, it's like train hard now, so that when it comes time to perform it doesn't suck nearly as much but that that's also the difference between like saying, oh, you could do those workouts by yourself, yeah, you can. But I guarantee you like so when I was going there. Like you show up thinking I do not want to be here today and you're like, okay, I'm just going to try and see how it goes. Totally, 10 minutes in, you're just going as hard as you can because you're like you work away harder in that environment.
Speaker 2Yeah Well, and that's why I don't like running with people. But I have been running with people a lot lately because they force me to run faster.
Speaker 1Yeah, exactly, because if they're not there, I'm just going to be like we are cruising today.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, because it's good right, and it's like in my head I'm thinking I hate this so much.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2Right hand because they're making me and it's good for you, it is good.
Speaker 1Are you thinking that the other day I I feel like I've gone. I've got past that for the most part now uh, you guys are I'm I'm large. True, you're bigger than us.
Speaker 2Yes, it is hard to run at the speed you guys run um and, to be fair, you've been running a few more months than I have. Yeah, so you have a little bit more of a, a foundation of your house. My foundation is larger. Yeah, you have a large foundation.
Speaker 3My zone two foundation, big foundation he's got a big.
Speaker 2He's got a good foundation, a lot of waterproofing on the outside. Yeah, some good weeping towel Big old butt.
Speaker 1But that day specifically.
Speaker 2Tuesday, whatever it was.
Speaker 1I felt good, I was like, oh, let's go.
Speaker 2Yeah, you frustrated me, because the last time we did that run he's like high, stepping it up hills and shit. I'm like what the fuck is going on like slow down.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't know. I just felt good that day I could tell you have you seen his, his crocas out front? There, oh, those are uh canes they are see, he knows what they are I like shoes uh, I just got them today really they're supposed to be good for cane recovery footwear. Uh it's, uh, the bpn version. The nick bear one is that, where you got the shirt too, I also got the shirt. I spent my birthday money on Nick Bear.
Speaker 3Is he coming on the podcast? Yeah, hashtag go. One more Nice, I don't know Nick Bear.
Speaker 1if you ever listen to this, hit us up.
Speaker 2Something tells me, nick Bear may not listen to this.
Speaker 3You're probably right.
Speaker 1That's nice, that's right, I um, yeah, he's just a good dude. Uh, is he a?
Speaker 2good dude, as far as I know.
Speaker 1As far as I know, I suspect he is a good dude.
Speaker 2He can squat three plates barefoot, which frustrates me yeah.
Speaker 3Who can't and that, and that means he's a good dude.
Speaker 1Yeah, he plays barefoot.
Speaker 2Barefoot's impressive man.
Speaker 1The ankle mobility to do that is very good I've been forcing myself to do when I'm doing squats and deadlifts, now to have no shoes on.
Speaker 2Well, deadlifts, you should have no shoes on. Squats you should definitely have shoes on like lifters or elevate your ankles, unless you have exceptional ankle mobility. I have really nice ankles, yeah, yeah, really I'm cheap.
Speaker 3I also bought knee sleeves for the first time.
Speaker 2Oh they're so nice. They keep your knees warm. Why didn't I buy knee sleeves 12 years ago? Oh they're so good. I've never used them.
Speaker 3Game changer Like creaky knees.
Speaker 1After some asshole hurt my knee. I had a knee sleeve for jujitsu, but and then you stopped showing up to jujitsu.
Speaker 2So you don't need it.
Speaker 1So now I don't wear it at all, oh yeah, and I don't even think I'll. I don't even know if I'll wear it to Jiu-Jitsu, because I don't like how it feels.
Speaker 3Yeah, anyway, do you like the creakiness of your knee? It's not creaky it's.
Speaker 2Knee sleeves are hilarious. Have you ever squatted with knee wraps? No, like a powerlifter, they're stupid. Yeah, that warm wrap and just a slight little bit of compression at the bottom right when you're like a little bounce there a little bit.
Speaker 3Just my knees don't hurt when I wear them. It's. Yeah, I was mad that I didn't buy them sooner um, I would recommend these sleeves, like try them.
Speaker 2You probably would be like oh, these are great they also smell awful yes, yes, don't you wash them uh, you still wash them, and
Speaker 3they still smell as soon as you, especially when pull them off. It's like it's trapped in there.
Speaker 1I know you slow them down. Why do your knees stink so much? I don't know.
Speaker 2Because your sweaty knees, very sweaty knees, sweaty knees.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2When you squat barefoot, are you like? How deep are you squatting? Deep Like all the way? I don't know.
Speaker 1I haven't been going super heavy like the other day.
Speaker 3Tony, I don't want to call him out. Yeah, I will.
Speaker 1He slept in which it's happened. I do it sometimes too. It's very rare he was up late hitting that zen maybe just wired and so we have somebody else at the gym who's there every single morning. We are. He's a machine, jr, no older older fella oh yeah, uh he, he wrecks the ab machine he really fucks that machine up.
Speaker 2So so uh steel.
Speaker 1So he's like he knows that like I don't have my workout buddy and so and that was completely fine. But I was doing squats and I was doing like five sets of five and then a couple sets of three Nothing crazy, I think 245, nothing insane and he decides that I need help. So he comes up behind me just to help spot me.
Speaker 2Because you're only doing quarter spots. No, I was going all the way, but he's just like Push it down on you.
Speaker 3But he's just hilarious.
Speaker 1He's like all right, here we go, all the power, all the power, and he's just hilarious. Yeah, he's so good. And he was on the he'd be on, so he, I'd do my set. I'd put it right here Ah, thanks man. And he'd go. He's on a treadmill, so he goes back to the treadmill. He's like the hard walk. Here we go, Next set, all the power, same thing, and he's just like so I'm like, okay, I'm good man, but I appreciate it, Thank you.
Speaker 3After you're done your squats, he just starts curling.
Speaker 1Yeah, exactly Good.
Speaker 2That's a good workout Anyway yeah, I'm just saying if you have limited ankle mobility and then you end up squatting and what happens is is like your, what's the bottom part of your spine called no Coccyx?
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2Well, there's like your cervix no.
Speaker 3Thoracic, thoracic.
Speaker 2Seat Lumbar.
Speaker 3Lumbar, lumbar, there you go.
Speaker 2I think the lumbar part of your spine, if you have like limited ankle mobility, either A you bend forward a lot or your butt kind of like starts scooping underneath. A little butt wink, a little butt wink, which is not good for you, not good for your spine. Okay, I'm just saying. All I'm saying is like consider elevating your ankles.
Speaker 1Okay, I have a lot to think about. Next time I'm squatting, I'll ask one of you to come and watch my butt Deal.
Speaker 2You don't have to be squatting.
Speaker 3What time do I have to be there Just?
Speaker 1photos. I'll just take a video next time and send it to you. Okay, please, is it better if I'm not wearing anything?
Speaker 3Does it make it easier? I think so. Yeah, Then you can see the articulation of your butt Of your cinnamon ring.
Speaker 1I don't know if I'll get awkward if I'm doing that at work, but I'll see what I can do can do I mean that early?
Speaker 2no one's gonna be there. It's fine, there's only a couple of us. Yeah, casey will like it, yeah it's just that poor ab machine.
Speaker 1Oh, it just gets fucking crushed just hammered.
Speaker 3Never seen one person have you so much stuff and have you tried that like with that full, he full stacks it.
Speaker 1Have you done full stack on that thing?
Speaker 2no, it is not easy.
Speaker 1I'm sure it's not like and I've, because the day I was like I'm gonna try to try this thing and I went like like halfway down the stack and I'm like, oh my God, and he's just like full stack, smashes it. It's crazy.
Speaker 2You know who doesn't have his guts hanging out of his abdomen right now? It's Casey.
Speaker 1Even if he did, he would be there. Oh, he was no big deal. The day after he got his. What did it? Was it his forearm or tendon in his arm? Oh, his bicep. Yeah, his bicep tendon pulled off and he got it reattached. The day after he was doing one-handed deadlifts in the gym. The doctor's like you got to take some time off from the gym. He's like yeah, yeah, yeah sure.
Speaker 3Next day he's in a sling and one hand. Nice good for him, that's awesome. He like tore his something in his knee and he was still there like walk running doing his yeah.
Speaker 1So he was limping I don't know about, I don't know, maybe a year ago. I see him he's limping into the, into the uh to go to the gym. Yeah, I'm like, hey, what's going on? He's like, oh yeah, my achilles tendon is like partially torn and that's. I'm like where are you going? He's like I'm gonna go hit the gym. Like dude, like where are you going? He's like I'm going to go hit the gym. I'm like, dude, the thing's going to rip in half. He's like, ah, whatever, until it dies, I'm going to keep going.
Speaker 1Yeah right, and now he's apparently healed itself somehow. Somehow he never stopped working and he's still there.
Speaker 2Maybe he's hitting the BPC. He should be.
Speaker 1Somebody's not using it yet.
Speaker 3It's funny. So I texted that person.
Speaker 1I was like hey, how's your VPC going?
Speaker 3He's like you're not the first person to ask me.
Speaker 1I'm like I'm dead serious. I'm like I want to see you. I want to see what he get his review and what he thinks If it cause. He's got some nagging injuries for a lot for a month.
Speaker 2I can now do I know, right, like I think I'd want to try that.
Speaker 3Oh, me too I would try it, and then the gut health part of it too which I didn't really know about and then I don't know any of this. I know he was talking about it apparently like helps heal your gut as well. I was like well.
Speaker 2Like if they're hanging out.
Speaker 3No, yeah, yeah, you might fix that.
Speaker 2Can you imagine if it just seals?
Speaker 3up your tummy. Good to go, that would be amazing no surgery Needle right in there.
Speaker 2Actually, to be fair, though, I wonder it would be like try it for recovery right after right. Like help, like things yeah.
Speaker 1I think it would hurt. I don't might hurt, I don't know. Who knows? That's the problem. Nobody knows.
Speaker 2There's no human studies people are doing it and they're saying it's amazing. There's a lot of anecdotal studies, though, right, a lot of a lot of anecdotes where people are like, yeah, this is the greatest thing ever true that's a hard thing when, like, they won't allow thing for human consumption yeah, you can't actually tell, so it's all anecdotal, but it's the same
Speaker 1as same as like, even like with, uh, like with weed, like before it was legal, like there's how many actual good studies were done on like side effects and long-term effects and all these things.
Speaker 1None right so you can say, oh, it's really bad for you, but there was nothing to really solidify that. So now maybe they can they'll determine. Yeah, actually we've had been able to do these long-term studies and this is this bad side effects. Now it has a lot some legitimacy on. This is why it's actually not that good for you. Or maybe they find don't find that, but they could never study it, so they didn't have that information and then they legalized it, and now they probably still want to study it, yeah, whatever.
Speaker 1Well, now it doesn't matter, right? Yeah?
Speaker 3I don't know. Does it give you a panic attack in star wars? Yes, it does check darn it.
Testosterone Levels and TRT Discussion
Speaker 1I don't know. I'm curious to see how that works out, because I'm interested. Uh, I got my testosterone levels back through the roof no uh well, my doctor is very resistant to the idea of the same doctor maybe maybe uh yeah, maybe we'll talk about after.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah yeah, exactly okay same guy.
Speaker 1He, just like I, even when I asked to on my blood test, to test my test, like to see what my test levels are, he was like, well, why? And I was like, well, it's because I want, like I wanted to have like a baseline to know where I'm at. So, going forward, if I get tested, like see if it's going up or down, and he's like, okay, fine, yeah, I guess that makes sense. So I get tested. Do you know what your numbers were? Uh, 26, holy, you are so high. I know I was 14.1. Oh, you get on the juice. What are you doing over here? So I was like, yeah, what are you doing? Why aren't you on it, right?
Speaker 3now.
Speaker 1So 14.1. And he's like so he calls me the next day. And, to be fair, part of me was like he's going to call me and say, hey, I need to come in right away because there's like something in your blood. We think it's that's kind of.
Speaker 3That's kind of what I thought the call was going to be uh, but it wasn't.
Speaker 1It was. I know everything looks really really good, really healthy. Uh. Your testosterone at 14.1, which is like really a good healthy range, uh, for your age and everything. You had no problems for your age, yeah, and because you're old, shut up. Uh yeah, okay, cool, thanks, and then I go google it. What do you want to know, like that's not good that's like low of the range, that's not very high.
Speaker 3High Because 8 is like the lowest right.
Speaker 1I think the range is like 8 to like 20.
Speaker 38 to 32 or something 26?
Speaker 1You asshole.
Speaker 2You're like right at the top. Eh, You're exuding manliness right now. I wanted that.
Speaker 3Two extra points, though. I'm like. So what can I take to give me 28? And they're like nothing. I was like what.
Speaker 1Who'd you ask that?
Speaker 3My other doctor friend.
Speaker 1Why do you have another?
Speaker 3I need another doctor, I have lots of friends.
Speaker 1Do you know a doctor who's not resistant to the idea of TRT?
Speaker 3Kind of I almost had him, and then I got 26 and he's like no, like I'm not giving you.
Speaker 1Okay, well, let me know who he is, because 14 by 1 he's like than that.
Speaker 2So when I had my endotelic opiate, I'm lower than that.
Speaker 1Really yeah, oh dude, not by much, but I am For your age though.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2I want it. I want to try it.
Speaker 3Me too. It's awesome. More natural Testosterone is natural more natural.
Speaker 1So here I get a TRT prescription to like try to increase it. I'm not trying to get crazy, I'm just trying to get to like a higher range of the normal.
Speaker 2It's not like Clenbuterol here or whatever. It is Anavar.
Speaker 1I'm not trying to do Anavar like Craig Johnson and Craig Jones.
Speaker 2Sorry, yeah.
Speaker 1Craig.
Speaker 2Hal Johnson and Joanna.
Speaker 1McLeod.
Speaker 3Needles.
Speaker 1Oh, oh, that reminds me we gotta talk about the ozempic south park episode. Uh, anyway, I'm not trying to get crazy, I just want to get to like the higher healthy range. Uh, so it's like. But. But if you start taking trt, do you now have to take it forever?
Speaker 3yeah, you can like come off it for sure, but you have to like find out a way to increase your natural body's natural ability to produce so then, how can you, instead of doing trt, what can other than like diet and stuff well, like I mean stuff that we're already, I'm already kind of like doing.
Speaker 1That's not great, but it's, it's, oh, it's good, better than most people. Yeah, in my, I'm working out, I'm doing all the things, so that's not increasing it naturally like is there something else?
Speaker 3like or this is that's basically it this is like test boosters and stuff, but I don't think those were like the bullshit like used to get at the gym well, like the the more plates, more dates. Guy has one that he sells but then you look at like the ingredients, it's just like you can just buy. Just buy it.
Speaker 1It's like ashwagandha and like this and that it's all herbal stuff.
Speaker 3Yeah, that would be.
Speaker 1I was at the supplement store today and I asked the guy. I don't think he had a clue what I was talking about. I was like hey is this stuff any good? He's like what, what stuff? He was making a Swole Whips.
Speaker 3He's like what?
Speaker 1Yeah, no.
Speaker 2And then, after he's left, tony's like I don't think he a swole whip today we did. It's been a long time since I had a swole whip.
Speaker 3I didn't know what a swole whip is. It's like protein ice cream. I didn't know. That's what it was called. I.
Speaker 2Yeah, you can. Science in humans has like HCG, which is pre.
Speaker 1Precursor type yeah right, so does that? Is that supposed to increase your natural production? I?
Hormone Therapy and Ozempic Side Effects
Speaker 2believe so, but it does. It's because I think the risk is like, not an issue for you but in my case, right Like I think testosterone hormone replacement therapy is an issue for fertility, oh okay. Or it can affect it in ways that I don't want. Hcg, I don't think does that, but I was reading on that website about hgg and one of the by, like what was the word byproduct? Um side effect is um gyno giant boobies giant.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, that's I don't want that.
Speaker 1I don't want yeah I don't want that you have to take estrogen blockers, then for that yeah, but then like fuck I'm why you might as well do tread right like what are we doing? Yeah, so then what about like so hgh, what does that increase like? I know it's human growth hormone, but does that increase testosterone, or is that just like? Is that just something different?
Speaker 2I think it's different again I'm not the answer about this, but we need a doctor that's willing to like have this conversation yes, and be like hey fellas here's the deal.
Speaker 1Hey, you said you have a doctor friend that would talk about this does he want to come on the podcast sure I'll try it.
Speaker 3He's from medhat, but I can ask him he's got to be someone in town we could find that, like legitimately, is interested in the validity of hormone replacement therapy.
Speaker 1I know who he was. I know we said I know who to ask to see if he would come on here. Um, have you watched the South Park episode? No, no, okay, so there's a new South Park episode out. I can't remember what the title is.
Speaker 1I saw a preview for it, but it's basically about Ozempic and how people are trying to lose fat with these drugs and it is hilarious.
Speaker 1So essentially it's making fun of. There's all these like middle-aged, like housewives, who are all wearing halter tops with just ripped abs and they're all like walking around and then they have all Zempik parties because they're all like it's hard to get, and then they find it and they all like just jam the Zempik in their stomach, like yeah. And then there's this like shortage, and Cartman is talking to his doctor and his doctor is like talking to doctors well, actually we have this new drug that you can take it and you don't have to be fat anymore. He's like what? I don't have to be fat anymore. And then they realize like uh, he's, oh, you don't qualify and you're too poor to pay for it, so, so they prescribe him lizzo and they're like all you got to do is watch lizzo all the time, all day, all the time for body positivity, and because she doesn't care, neither should you. Like it goes, there's this whole thing about Lizzo and oh god, it's pretty funny is ozempic that big of a?
Speaker 2it's huge pandemic right now, yeah, or it's gigantic. There's like shortages because uh, everyone's like.
Speaker 1Everyone's using it because it like. Oh, and there's this thing called ozempic face, because people use it too quick and they lose so much fat that their skin on their face sags because like, because, nor, if it's not a normal weight loss timing right, so like, they lose it so fast that their skin doesn't have the ability to like actually form to their new face and it's like they're like, it's like sinking that's how I almost convinced my doctor friend to like give me trt, was he was talking about ozempic, how he gives everyone ozempic and I was like yeah, like he gives everybody.
Speaker 3He's like you come in asking for it. I'll ask you like a couple questions and I'm just like so there's got to be side of bad side effects well, that's that's. The new thing is it was like one percent of people have side effects, but they've given it to so many people. I've heard this before from a pharmaceutical company.
Speaker 1The codeine. That's exactly what it said. Mostly non-addictive Only 1% of people get addicted.
Speaker 2How does it?
Speaker 3work. I don't know. I think it's like the. It tastes like ghrelin or something. So then, like you don't feel hungry, it's called like semi-glutides, because they talk about this thing.
Speaker 1So, kyle, and then they find a semi-glutide uh it distributor from india and they start making it themselves. And then the pharmaceutical corporations start coming after them, try to kill them, uh, with, like the? Um cereal companies because it's a sugar.
Speaker 2So, like tony the tiger and captain crunch are trying to murder them it's pretty funny, so I just looked up ozempic side effects on instagram yeah zero, what, no, no. What is ozempic finger and ozempic butt?
Speaker 1oh my god, um and apparently go together apparently this is from the new york post.
Speaker 2Ozempic use appears to be changing people's personalities. Oh wow, that seems like a pretty fucking serious side effect there, because they're just so hungry, so I got angry all the time, so I don't know if it.
Speaker 1Oh, so I think it curbs appetite and then, aside, obviously does something specifically to like help get rid of fat, because people are losing fat so quickly that they're getting like just sagginess that because they can't, their body can't respond to it.
Speaker 2Ozempic finger has now become a thing too, and julie shops are fielding requests to resize rings and shorten bracelets oh, my god, oh my yeah, anyway, it's, it's a funny, it's a funny episode.
Speaker 1But I love those episodes because they just like they take an actual thing that's a problem in society, make out, make fun of it, but it's also. It kind of also exposes the stupidity of it?
Speaker 3oh, yeah, for sure it's interesting, and then people just laugh, not knowing what they're laughing.
Speaker 1Yeah, oh I also take it as epic. I've been taking it forever. So uh randy, uh the dad, so he's a druggie, so I I'll spoil, you're gonna watch it, okay, whatever, okay, so his daughter she's gonna go to school in this halter top and he's like no, you're not going to that.
Speaker 1That's the year, I can't remember what. He calls her, something really bad. And then he's like, okay, okay, I'll guess I'll wear one too and I pick you up from school today. So she goes to school and he shows up in school wearing like just disgusting jeans and a halter top. He's like, hey, honey, hey, honey, I'm here to pick you up. And then all the other ozempic moms see him. Because the thing, the joke, is like they all wear halter tops because they're showing off their midriff, right. And so they show up like, oh, hey, randy. And they're like, hey, do you like to do drugs?
Speaker 1and he's like he's like uh, yeah, yeah, and so they invite him to their like drug party and he thought it was like they're gonna do like cocaine and stuff and he shows up and they're all just pounding ozempic into the stomach. So then he gets addicted to it. It's, it's so insane. Classic randy. Yeah, so addicted, it's a great show what's his farm called?
Speaker 1because he, like, has the weed farm, I can't remember with that towel though it's, oh, tally, tally don't forget to bring it it's so stupid, but it's so good yeah shut the fuck up, tally yeah I can't believe that show is still going dude it's so funny it's still good and you go back and you watch some of those episodes and they're just amazing because they just make fun of everything, like even with the pandemic, the pandemic specials.
Speaker 2They just make fun of the current thing, yeah and they just make.
Speaker 1They just like you guys. Take this so seriously and we're going to show you why it's so stupid which is uh, awesome, amazing, the, uh their black Friday episode. So pretty hilarious it's good.
Speaker 2Where are you watching South Park?
Speaker 3It's on Paramount, yeah, another thing I got to pay for.
Speaker 1Yeah, you got to pay for all these damn things. I still have Paramount because I'm hoping that Yellowstone comes back on.
Speaker 3That last season of Yellowstone.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 3I know, but we got to finish it. I got to finish it. Whatever they send, gotta finish this, whatever they said, whatever they do season five, I can't remember what number.
Speaker 2Yes, stop. Well, I stopped after four.
Speaker 1I'm also watching star trek on there too. So yeah, there you go the new one. Strange new world or brave new world?
Speaker 3I can't remember strange new world uh, my buddy is on one of them yeah, I remember that, yeah, he's oh he's on the one.
Speaker 1That's crap.
Speaker 3Discovery, discovery oh, that's fucking garbage.
Speaker 2Well, the first season was good, but he's good on it right yeah, what is which one?
Speaker 3is he? Uh, his name is ronnie rowe. Uh, he is the navigator. I've never seen that navigator or something I don't know. Did you play ball with him? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he went here and played ball. Neat. He's in a movie with woody harrelson and somebody else can you ask him why it's so garbage Sure yeah.
Speaker 1Hey, Ronnie, I haven't talked to you in years, man. I've been told that the show's garbage.
Speaker 3I'm not a Star Trek guy, but can you explain to me how they're breathing in space? Like it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1And now it's like we can't. Even after listening to Terrence Howard, I don't know if we can go anywhere in space without dying.
Speaker 2Have you listened to terence harrod no, I heard it was.
Speaker 3He's a crazy person I don't know.
Speaker 1Oh okay, yes, and no, okay you have to listen. Okay, uh, get through it, because, like the first, the first 15, 30 minutes you're like this dude is insane, yeah, but then he gets deeper into some things and you're like that sounds like it makes sense. Yeah, it's crazy, dude. Are you talking about space travel? It talks about physics and basically how? Physics is wrong.
Speaker 2We need to have a Terrence Howard podcast. Yeah, we need.
Speaker 1I need to listen to it.
Speaker 2We need to bunk it.
Speaker 1I need to listen to it like three more times. First, because that's how in-depth it has to understand it. It's impossible.
Speaker 3What are the credentials that Terrence Howard?
Speaker 2has. This is the thing you think. Nothing he acted in Iron man.
Speaker 3I was going to say he was Iron man and then got fired.
Speaker 1You would think, now he talks about that at the end, okay, you would think nothing. But he has some credibility. Like he's got, he's got all of these patents for things that like, and he's written all of these. He's written all these patents for a lot of things. One of them, which is crazy, uh, is cited by. So it's essentially the basis for virtual reality, uh, the in the way it works. So he had this patent and, like, on there, apparently you can go look at the patents and it shows you who cites them and you have to cite it if you use it. Right, microsoft, sony, all of the ones who basically have any sort of VR platform have used his patent, which he had given up because he didn't want to keep paying for it, because he didn't think it was a reason whatever. Yeah, it was like a trillion dollar patent.
Speaker 3I was going to say is he just loaded now?
Speaker 1Well, because he didn't. He. He said he paid 260 000 for the patent initially and then he kept getting like phone calls from lawyers and people saying, hey, you need to pay, you need to pay this, you need to pay this to keep it up, that kind of thing. And eventually he's like, ah, whatever, I'm just gonna not gonna pay it anymore. But the crazy part is because he is the author of the patent and anyone, anyone who cites his work, he can then use the work that they have based off of his patent without having to pay them for like royalties or anything which is neat yeah I didn't know that.
Insane Theories and Tattoos
Speaker 1But so he can go back and basically take whatever they developed with his patent, yeah, and use it and develop something off based off that, without having to pay for them anyway. So it's like he you're like, okay, well, this guy's got some credibility with some craziness, and then he kind of goes into some insanity. But but like, but like not. I said that like insanity sounds negative. It just is insane to us because it literally changes the idea of how he views, like gravity isn't a thing it's like it's this other thing that's working of other force with electricity yeah hmm,
Speaker 2yeah, magnetism and electricity, which he says, are like two opposite things. I don't know, it's neat. Yeah, I don't know it's neat yeah. I don't know enough about physics. I'm just fascinated by it because it's like oh, this is an explanation for, like, maybe the way things are that is very contrary to the current narrative. Right, that we also don't know is true, oh, totally Right.
Speaker 3Someone made up hundreds of years ago. Yeah, that's the thing, and that's the weird thing about math. Right like, oh man, math is just like us using a language to describe things, oh, yeah, and physics, just theories. Right like yeah, not many of it are proven.
Speaker 1Well, and then the problem becomes like if you you have something, you have this theory that they say base theory, and then now everything else you're trying to, you're developing, based on that base theory.
Speaker 1So it's kind of confirming it versus looking for something new to explain the whole phenomenon right right, whereas this is like very just explodes all of it and says well, this, this uh theory makes make sense. In with everything and even the things we don't understand, like dark matter and all this other craziness so what joe needs to do is have somebody come on yeah, yeah, he does we need to figure out terrence howard well he wants.
Speaker 1He wanted to. He said, like I've been trying to get someone to sit down and talk to me about this for a long time, like an actual scientist, just tell me where I'm wrong or why this isn't right or what. And they normally do it well and he's, he's, what's.
Speaker 2Uh, what's that scientist's name? He's a, he's a, he's kind of a douche astrophysicist, yeah, uh, yeah, um super popular, god damn the guy with the grass, neil deGrasse Tyson.
Speaker 1Yeah, there you go Kind of a douche. Yeah, he comes off that way.
Speaker 2Yeah, I think Terrence has been trying to chat with him about it and then there's just been no interest.
Speaker 1I feel like Elon would talk to him about it.
Speaker 2I don't know. Yeah, maybe Joe can make that happen. I mean, maybe they have these on a podcast. Um, I did find it really interesting. That I'd like to read more about it when I get a minute is how he talks about the flower of life oh yeah is this design that originated somewhere, which is kind of the basis of all of his theories, which is something I'm hung up on. Um, is you've taken this design that I don't know presumably was left by the anunnaki like I don't fucking know?
Speaker 2yeah, right like yeah, but it's interesting regardless completely yeah.
Speaker 1So, like, yes, he might be absolutely insane, right, but like it's, it's hard to know if that's the case, or or it could be both. It could be absolutely insane and also insanely smart, uh, or I don't know it also like good for him and oh, if he is insane.
Speaker 1It's like terrence howard has stuff going on outside of acting a lot neat yeah yeah, a lot of stuff, yeah and he talks about the whole why he got fired thing and, uh, there was a really some crazy lady who was who he said. I've proven it since then I get it. She was coming after me, she was stalking me, she was doing all these things and he got basically blamed for abuse or harassment or something.
Speaker 2Oh really, yeah, and then he tried to Iron man. What's his name?
Speaker 1Robert.
Speaker 3Downey Jr yeah he screwed him.
Speaker 2Kind of screwed him a little bit.
Speaker 3Oh really, yeah, I thought he just wanted more money or something.
Speaker 1No, he said the contract was set. It was like it was like 8 million, 12 million, 14 million or something like that. It was like it was set like every, because he signed out with three or four movies and every second every movie was slightly higher. So that wasn't like he was asking for more. That was in the contract.
Speaker 2Yeah, but anyway, it's interesting podcast yeah, yeah, sit in a dark room and just just go crazy you gotta, you gotta kind of watch it too, because it's something.
Speaker 1He has some like visuals that are like oh, wow, yeah anyway, big listener guy, I don't watch a lot of podcasts I don't either, but this one I like. I was on spotify and so I'd hear them talking about, like in this and you're talking about. I was like ah frick, so I had to back it up and just kind of watch that portion of it, just so I could see the thing they're talking about. Yeah, cool.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, never do rec recommended highly right after the average superior podcast oh, obviously yeah, number one, number two and below joe rogan yeah, so we've just figured out.
Speaker 1We need, uh, a doctor to come on here and explain the difference. Are the positives and negatives of trt and hgh and hcg?
Speaker 3right, we need a crossfit coach and or a crossfit athlete they could probably help you with both of these things potentially Okay.
Speaker 1Come on here and explain to us why they're so cool, why we are not fit how do you?
Speaker 2do the things you do, so tell me about this fit that you cross over.
Speaker 1Yes, that's what we figured out today, okay.
Speaker 3Two things I have a list.
Speaker 2I'd like to talk to you more about teslas at some point, I think I think you should like I'll bring the other test.
Speaker 3Yeah, we'll drive that, yeah zoom, zoom.
Speaker 1You get any more tattoos then anytime soon yeah, I make it.
Speaker 3Uh, I texted my guy the other day yeah, yeah, where's that one gonna go? Um on my I think on my shins okay, well, that'll feel good I know, and then also I want to get my other side done yeah, there's just it's never ending. Yeah, I'll need tattoos. Are you gonna do my hands? I really want to do my yeah, do it.
Speaker 2I know I want to do so badly. They're so cool. Do that first. Yeah, I think so I might.
Speaker 3I might do a sleeve, I don't know. I just I have too many I want to do, but you have so much body left, I know. I know that's the thing. And when you get one, and then you like look at yourself and you're like I'm like running out of room, and then, when you know it's time, when, like, you find more room, and you're like, oh yeah, okay. I can go there. Oh, I forgot.
Speaker 2I don't. What about a neck tattoo? I could see you with a neck tattoo.
Speaker 3I've seen some neck tattoos that are nice and that's bad. Because, I'm like those are cool.
Speaker 2And then my wife's like you're an idiot, Never. You will never get this Definitely hand tattoos.
Speaker 1I saw a phone. He's got an Instagram who, like on the first look of him I was like just very dismissive Because I'm a judgy. But he has full neck tattoos and he's got like a couple, like one on his side of his face and one on this other side too, so he's like an ex-Marine or SEAL or something. But he does posts about technology and off the grid stuff and like how to make off the grid comms for if something had happened and he's got really good posts about interesting things. But I was really dismissive initially because of his tattoos.
Speaker 3You shouldn't do that.
Speaker 1Yeah, I know, I know I shouldn't, because I don't care, but at the same time it's just like oh, this guy, look at this idiot. Yeah, stupid, stupid tattoo.
Speaker 3God, you're ugly.
Speaker 1Yeah, but I mean it's funny because, like, certain things are acceptable. I kind of know I maybe on his hands or on his sleeve or whatever. But the second it's like going up into the neck and the throat and then again some on their face. You're like, ooh, you're kind of making some bad decisions, but I don't know.
Speaker 2But like 20 years ago, I bet you that was the arms sleeves yeah oh for sure it was yeah, whereas nowadays nobody even blinks no.
Speaker 3I know right yeah, like I'll be like showering or whatever I'm like oh yeah, I forgot about that one. That was nice yeah the ferdinand I was thinking the other day.
Speaker 2I was like, oh, she got like a full back tattoo yeah, I was like wait I already have tattoos go like full like cover them up, like dummy, get them laid off and then go full like eastern promises, oh yeah yeah, there's a cool crossfit guy.
Speaker 3He's a firefighter now, um, but his like back is like old timey firefighter with like the horses. It's like a whole scene. I was like bitchin' yeah, super bitchin', it's like the old folks home somehow. Yeah, like a trolley and stuff, kind of the walker, yeah, the food cart, therapy dog, yeah, all the stuff.
Speaker 1Cool therapy dog, yeah all the stuff's cool okay, well, thanks for coming again. We appreciate it. I appreciate you guys. Yeah, thanks for filling in, apparently.
Speaker 2Uh, jason is like the busiest person, yeah, in the world right now yeah, can't ever come lazy.
Speaker 1I don't know what's going on with him.
Speaker 3Yeah, I don't know. I'll talk to him for you, would you do, you mind? Yeah, no, not at all gauges commitment. Yeah, so like there's no position but like, do you really want it, like you know, I'll talk to him for you, would you, do you mind? Yeah, no, not at all. Gage's commitment? Yeah, so like there's an open position, potentially Third Mike, do you really want it, like you know?
Speaker 2Like you're fighting for fourth, mike, right now. Jason, yeah, seriously.
Speaker 3Yeah, he's sitting there, he's not here.
Speaker 1Thanks for listening. Check our Instagram account out. It yeah um lots of posts yeah, it's easy to like repost things that I find interesting, which I think people like, but I think the problem, if I have one complaint, it's that you have lots. Of no, I don't, I don't have many, but the complaint is that stories disappear I know and I know that you want posts I do because they actually stick around.
Speaker 1So people come to our thing and they can see posts and they can go back in time and see oh, oh, cool, they did this, this and this.
Speaker 2But I never see like if Jeff had brought his Tesla, I would have made a post of me rubbing my butthole for his Tesla.
Speaker 3I thought you were going to stick your wiener in the porch. Not that I've done that.
Speaker 1Anyway, that's my only complaint about the Instagram.
Speaker 2I need more things to post. And then, when you post things on your instagram, that I can't even share yeah sure, sorry, sorry all right, this is a team. Jason doesn't even use his friggin instagram it's true, friggin jason, friggin jason guy. Um yeah, I'm trying to swear less, you know also be impeccable with your words another thing.
Speaker 3What's his name over there? Third, mike jason, there we go. Was making taking minutes. There we go right but he was marking down like the global time I know just the time of the podcast.
Speaker 1That doesn't help.
Speaker 28 15, 8.15. This is what was talked about.
Speaker 3I didn't understand what he was saying. He was like I didn't know what time we started at. I was like we started at zero and then I was like, uh.
Speaker 1Did you see the post that he put up there after the notes he took with Farmer Joe? There's like four things on it. Oh, gonna take notes, really good notes this time. And then he sends the note to him.
Speaker 3It's like what were you doing.
Speaker 2Uh, he gets too involved in the conversation. Oh, that's good. Yeah, it's fun. Your job is also to take notes. To be fair in his defense, sometimes we I think we've actually gotten better at it. I think he was really tired yeah, I can sometimes tell when you're just like he's like, well, any of us show up and you're like batteries, like at like three percent, and you're just like okay, we're here, let's do this yeah that's why I brought some uh fun, uh, I appreciate the zevias yeah you've opened my, you've opened my mind yeah, I might go buy a pack, you should.
