Witches, Warts, and Whimsical Wisdom: Navigating Life's Oddities with Humor and Heart

Are you ready to laugh about witchcraft, body odor, and parenting? We kick things off with a hilarious mix-up over the term "alliterate," sparking a playful debate between Daniel and Jordan. From there, we venture into the mystical realm of warts and witchcraft, complete with personal wart removal stories that will leave you both intrigued and amused. Ever wondered about the mysterious nipple bumps? We’ve got that covered too, along with a bizarre tale of attempting to breastfeed pets—it’s as wild as it sounds!

We then navigate through a series of strange and comical stories, starting with the proper way to pronounce "Appalachian" and moving on to folklore wart remedies involving witches and dandelions. Our banter continues into the uncharted territory of bowel movements and the realities of toilet cleaning routines. Personal anecdotes about body odor challenges—particularly one host's wife's unique scent issues—keep the laughs coming as we dive headfirst into the quirks of everyday life.

But it’s not all fun and games; we tackle some serious themes too. Handling criticism, especially from those we trust, is no small feat. Drawing from personal experiences, we discuss the fine line between constructive feedback and personal opinions, and how to manage pride and open up to criticism. The conversation shifts to the impact of modern distractions on parenting and the service industry’s struggle with rudeness. Wrapping up, we share insights on nurturing children’s dreams and the daunting task of writing a book, even pondering how AI could lend a hand. Tune in for an episode that’s as insightful as it is entertaining!

Daniel Lawson
Host
00:26
Welcome back to the show, the greatest one on the internet, the greatest one you've seen thus far and the greatest one, the greatest one. Good morning Jordan, good morning Daniel. How are you today? I'm good. I had to re-alliterate the greatest one Alliterate. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
00:42
Is that the right word? I'm not sure that's the right word. Alliterate no, being alliterate. Is that the right word? I'm not sure that's the right word. Illiterate Is that the no being illiterate means you can't read. Read right. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
00:47
Which. I am, that is the right word, which I am. But yeah, good morning. What a week it's been. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
00:55
Wow, I, I'm my jaw's dropping. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
01:00
Me too, my pants along with it, but definitely the jaws are down, I am. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
01:04
I'm masturbating, but my jaw has dropped as well. Yeah, man. So apparently warts and witchcraft is real Warts and witches are real bitches. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
01:16
It turns out. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
01:17
So I thought your story was, I'll be honest, just total bullshit when I first heard it. Yeah, and I usually kind of have that feeling about most of your stories, and looking at the comments that we've gotten on the video, it's insane. It is hard to believe that there isn't some truth to it. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
01:36
Yeah, I mean now you can just look back on all the stories I've ever told and say there's possibly a little truth in there. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
01:42
Don't go that far. Don't go that far. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
01:45
Yeah, which is crazy. Witches are crazy, but dude 800. And how many subscribers now? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
01:54
Yeah, we're about 850 and counting. I mean, every time I look it's more, it's crazy. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
01:58
I mean thank you guys. We appreciate it. Thank you for watching and enjoying the show. We're just, it's natural, baby it. Thank you for watching and enjoying the show. We're just, it's natural baby. All this is we don't write this stuff. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
02:07
This is real deal. We're just two best friends from high school years later making something, and you know, as you can tell, we've made a lot of stuff for the past several months and you know just, you can't predict anything. It turns out warts and witchcraft is the most popular thing we could talk about. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
02:23
Yeah, and that was a true story, but do you believe it now, do you? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
02:27
truly believe it? All right. So do I truly believe it? I actually think there might be something to this idea that the older generations were more connected to nature. We come from nature, right? Our DNA. Okay, this is probably so much misinformation, so take that with a grain of salt. I mean, we come from dirt. We come from dirt. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
02:47
That's what it says in the Bible. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
02:48
I think I'm starting to believe you, but yeah, maybe there is something that they knew. I mean, obviously they know a lot more than we know now. I mean, all we know is what's on YouTube, what you and I are saying, and that story is now on YouTube, yeah right. So yeah, I think there is something. So I had a word and I think I might have even told this before. I had a word on my finger when I first met my fiance, Kanie, and I would scratch at it and I had it for years and all this and I had picked at it to where it bled at times. And when I met her, she told me to not worry about it. And a common theme in these comments are the person tell you to forget about them. And you know, bury something, forget about it. And I've been asking her if she did some sort of witchcraft on me and she won't tell me. She won't tell me what she did. She has basically confirmed that she did something. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
03:47
I assume she put something in my shampoo and I was just washing my hands with it. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
03:53
He'll never know. But so it went away and I haven't had it since and I don't know what happened. I haven't had a wart since and she won't tell you and she won't tell me what the hell. You think there's something there to it. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
04:04
I think definitely there's something there to it, but is it just strictly mind over matter? Do they want us to believe that? You know, if we know it's fake? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
04:14
then it comes back. A lot of comments said that too, the mind over matter thing. You know what I think it kind of is. I think that the forgetting about it is you not picking at it, which allows it to, I guess, keep going, and then time heals over the course of time, of you not picking at it maybe, but this that sounds like too logical. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
04:34
I kind of think it moves somewhere else on your body though, or do you think it just totally disappears? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
04:38
well, I haven't found it yet ask cany, there's a couple spots I haven't looked. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
04:44
Yeah, could you imagine like, if it just in your sleep, just like what if our nipples are warts? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
04:51
oh, it's a good point. I do have like those little, those little bubbles around them, and I do too, yeah, when I get cold. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
04:56
You know what that is, though, okay. So science by daniel states that the little bumps around your nipples are honestly what the baby grasps onto for breastfeeding. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
05:06
Oh, so they do have uses. Good, I guess I could have a baby now, yeah. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
05:10
It's so funny that we have those bumps. Yeah, exactly those bumps are just strictly for women? I don't think, although I did have a dog one time and I tried to breastfeed it. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
05:22
With your nipple in its mouth, mm-hmm, and you tried. So what happened? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
05:28
He sucked on it. He did suck on it. Yeah, oh yeah. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
05:31
Nothing came out. I've never seen a dog suck something, though. I've only seen it lick things. My cat's done it too. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
05:36
Your nipples. Yeah, what do you? When Zeus was younger, he nursed on me. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
05:44
Your cat's only like nine months old, so how is he still nursing on me? Oh my goodness, but really it sucked on your nipple. I'm talking about the movement of like. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
05:58
Yeah, he sucked on it. Okay, there's only one way to suck on something, and Zeus did that. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
06:04
He didn't get any nutrients? I assume no, Because you don't have milk. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
06:07
Well, unless a piece of hair follicle came off, there's got to be some kind of nutrients in hair, clearly. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
06:13
Well yeah, cats eat hair. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
06:14
Covered in nutrients. Well, I believe you now, so I believe anything you say, d so do you think there's a real thing with warlocks, like what is a warlock? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
06:23
what is your definition of warlock was just a male witch. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
06:25
I thought it was fake I thought a warlock was just something on harry potter uh, yeah, I mean I'm sure that's where the but yeah, but they call witches. Oh, so witches is a female like a female magical female and a warlock is a man witch is a man witch that Manwich that makes sense Like a wizard Similar to the Sloppy Joes Manwich. So we are totally mind blown by the comments, because not just my stories there, there's a thousand different ones on there. What's the craziest one you saw so far? The? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
07:00
craziest one, like weirdest, because to me the biggest thing that stands out is just how many are so similar? Appalachia, it seems to be a thing everyone in the Appalachian area right, and if you don't know, that's like, uh, the Appalachian mountains that I guess like run through like Tennessee and West Virginia and eastern Kentucky is that how you pronounce it? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
07:18
I thought it was pronounced. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
07:19
Appalachian, appalachian, appalachian. I don't Iian, appalachian I don't. I probably can say both. Right, they'll correct us regardless. A lot of people talk about potatoes being rubbed on it. There's people, there's witches, who buy your warts. So they they, they give you a quarter for your wart and they say forget about it, and it's mine. And some people say that these witches collect them, like they get them. Someone said that a witch wears earrings with warts, like dangled warts, dangled warts. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
07:53
Can we Google that and pop that up if that's a real thing? So you're telling me a witch? A witch Walks around, walks around Buying warts off of just random people and then they appear on them. Yeah Well, the craziest story I saw on there was the peeing on the someone's like does it involve pee in a dandelion? I'm like what kind of weird movie are you watching? No one's pissed on anything? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
08:23
okay movie are you watching? No, no one's pissed on anything okay. I saw someone say they took like the dandelion stem and then the person busted open and poured the white juice all over it. Oh man, I told him there's got to be a better choice of words. Oh yeah, I remember, and it's real like, uh, it's like milky yeah, sticky yeah, slimy, stretchy dandelion juice yeah, people say that I guess the I guess what it seems like is you want to dry it out so you suffocate it. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
08:48
Yeah, I've seen a duct tape, put a duct tape on it. That was a common one too. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
08:51
yeah, A lot of people talk about duct tape. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
08:54
I tell you what that is crazy stories Get you a witch, get you a witch. Or if you got a wart, get you a witch. Yeah, or a warlock, or a warlock. Because those work too, because we're not sexist. Anything else throughout the week that you've been up to. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
09:10
Sierra. The other day I took a dump and I realized that every single time I take a dump now I have to clean the toilet with the scrubber. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
09:21
My wife has that same problem. I mean, it's everywhere. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
09:25
Is it mushy? No, no, no, I haven't. I told you I've been taking very healthy poops. They're massive. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
09:31
I don't know if massive makes them healthy or not, especially if you're bleeding afterwards they're well-nourished poops, buddy, they're sucking the life out of you. I mean damn. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
09:44
Leave some for my man. That's how I've lost so much weight. Yeah, your shit is just absorbing every ounce of nutrition. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
09:53
I mean, they're beefy as fuck. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
09:55
It's taking all the complexion out of me and everything. Keep it up, that's a good diet. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
09:59
What about you? Anything interesting? I mean, my poops are just struggling About your week. Oh, about my week? No, not really. I found out my wife has severe body odor, but I've known this for a long time. She stinks, severe she stinks. I mean, I love her to death. She's beautiful and she smells good half the day. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
10:21
The other half. It's bad. Does she not put enough deodorant on, is it no I? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
10:24
just think she just stinks like she's dying on the inside. Oh, she wears good deodorant. She wears bands deodorant she can't wear women's. Did she smell like this before she had layton? Yeah, she smelled like this. Her mom told me she smelled like this for a long time prior to our marriage. Well, that's good news. I guess. I just wish I would have knew about it prior. No, I'm just kidding, I'm totally kidding, but yeah. So I was outside. I redid some landscaping stuff around my air unit soaked in sweat, and everybody knows I have a problem sweating. Yeah, at this point, we all know. I mean, I'm a little dry today, maybe because I'm not thinking about it. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
11:05
Well, you've turned on a fan over here in the corner as well. It feels pretty nice. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
11:09
But I'm outside, I'm soaked, I'm drenched and I'm thinking, man, I'm, I'm probably raunchy. Well, I come in, I dry off my sweaty shirt dries off, right, and then what I do, what anybody would do, and I just lift up the old armpit and take a little quick smell and I'm like man. Surprisingly, that smells just like my Gillette deodorant. Still, there was no smell, none. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
11:33
No, people don't do that, dan. I don't do that, you don't ever do a sniff I don't smell my pits. No, absolutely not my balls, but my pits no. Well, you should try it sometime you get a little enjoyment of it, um, especially if it has a little stench. Did you just go there when you thought that, yeah, you get a little enjoyment of it? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
11:56
potentially. But then, um, so I smell, there's nothing. And then whitney farts, she's got terrible gas, terrible, terrible gas, terrible smell. You picked a winner. Yeah, god love her. But in between that I'm thinking to myself damn, you stink. And then I get to thinking yeah, you fucking stink. Not only does your fart smell terrible, your armpits smell terrible. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
12:20
Yeah, she probably smells worse than you, huh oh by far. By far. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
12:24
By a long shot. Your kids stink. Do my kids stink? Yeah, only when Leighton poops, just when the poop no body odor, I guess, but when do you? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
12:33
body odor doesn't start until you hit puberty, right? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
12:35
Yeah, but does it ever go away after puberty? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
12:40
Probably not. I mean, I don't know, what does your armpit hair do? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
12:46
That's a great question. Whatever it does, women are missing out, or at least a majority of them. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
12:52
That's a good point. Yeah, because they've been trimming it. Yeah, interesting, I'll do some research. Yeah, what's the point? What's the point of hair? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
13:01
Whoever put it there, put it there for a reason. Yeah, Whether that's Buddha Jesus ever put it there put it there for a reason. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
13:07
Yeah, whether that's buddha, jesus, do you? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
13:08
trim your side and you ever just let it grow out to where you can see. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
13:10
Oh no, I trim it. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
13:10
Oh yeah, you gotta trim it yeah, because, but you gotta be careful, if you trim it too short it itches real bad, real bad, yeah. But anyways, going back to my stinky wife she. So I come in, she, she farts. I'm like, oh my God, and it just brings back trauma of her armpits. And I was like, honey, you just we're in the middle of filming. I'm like, honey, I'm sorry, you just, you are a stinky person, I love you. She's like her jaws dropped, just like how we, you know, were with the 800 subscribers. So she's just, and she's shaking a little bit. I don't know if she's pissed or if she's just shocked. At this point she's like and then she's like what do you mean? I'm like your armpits they just stink. It smells like you're dying on the inside. Not only does her fart stink, her armpit stinks but I love her to death. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
14:03
Oh, you love her to death that probably cut her deep buddy. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
14:05
Probably, but she's used to it. You know she's used to it. But that's about it Just doing some landscaping around here and, you know, working on what we talked about last week. What was it? Bitch moaning, bitch moaning. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
14:21
Whining. You know I noticed this week that Caney has been very patient with me. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
14:26
That's good. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
14:26
Yeah, and I think it's because she, you know, now she sees that we have a semi-successful video, she's thinking she knows how I am that once the boat starts a rocking I'm going overboard and I need it to be nice and steady so that I don't go insane. So she has been able to put up with me losing my mind a little bit because we've been busy working so much that my mind is Do you think her mind has just been busy too, because didn't she start back finals or whatever? 

14:58
Yeah, school, which she put off a lot of that work. It started on Monday and she just been playing Harry Potter. Speaking of witches, she's just been playing Harry Potter. She's had that issue in the past. Yeah, pushing stuff off, oh yeah, yeah, she's got definitely an issue with procrastination. She has a monitor sitting up on a TV tray right up next to the bed, playing Harry Potter every night, really, yeah, that's what I go to bed to. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
15:21
What does she play on PlayStation? What does she play on PlayStation? That's funny, that's cool. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
15:24
Yeah, she loves it. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
15:25
Is it the newest Harry Potter? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
15:26
Mm-hmm. Harry Potter Legacy, she's dying to be a witch. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
15:28
I heard a lot of good stuff about it. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
15:29
Yeah, she's been waiting for her letter from Hogwarts. She's potentially a witch now yeah. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
15:34
And that on top of it. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
15:36
I just keep drawing connections. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
15:49
I'm a spell on you Because you're mine. That is actually a really good song. It is a good song. Well, now we come to the point, the moment you've been waiting for, the moment I've been waiting for, and it's just something that Just refreshes me every week, every Sunday when we film, and probably, hopefully, every Thursday when you hear it. But I'd love to introduce my best friend, the one with the brains clearly not the bronze Mr Jordan Hunter, with today's Word of the Week. I'll have the bronze soon, buddy, Not until you stop taking shits. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
16:20
A little less coffee. Maybe this Word of the Week or the Word of the week this week is criticism and I've noticed this week that and specifically taking criticism. 

16:30
Yeah, so like I noticed that I have a really hard time taking criticism and I'm not sure if that's from being I had a set of group of friends that were very critical people and that was fun in my 20s. But as I got older I think I've realized that it actually has made me very difficult at hearing people's criticisms and shrugging it off and being like I've got my reasons for this, you don't understand, and I think that it's to an unhealthy level and I am trying now to I get that immediate reaction of just like trying to shove off of that opinion away. It's Caney specifically. Yeah. 

17:12
Because you know, I've made a couple of videos and we specifically have one we've made where she'll give me an opinion on it, and now I will say I kind of wish she would deliver the news in a better way, maybe a peaceful way, a little softer, yeah, the news in a better way, maybe a peaceful way, a little softer, yeah. But I definitely immediately snap. Almost it's like a reactionary thing. It sucks because it happens so quick. It's hard to be mindful of because it happens really fast, and then I'm mindful and I have to apologize basically for snapping, but yeah what can I do to take criticism better? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
17:46
you think I'm glad you asked, because what better man to ask? I've dealt with criticism and feedback a long time and it took a long time to understand why it's there and why people do it. So, as you guys know, I worked for Wendy's for many years. I hated feedback, especially from my boss, who was my mom for the longest time. It was sucked. Feedback from your parents are the worst right, especially when you're younger. 

18:17
Yeah, and especially when they're worse. So at some point I was like, okay, I got to get the hell out of mom's store. I'm going to the mall to work, which was great because all the hotties were there, okay. But long story short, I was. I had to figure out why people give us feedback and it's really just for our own growth, and sometimes it's good feedback, right. Sometimes it's bad feedback. What we don't like to hear is the bad feedback or the things that we don't want to hear. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
18:41
But well, there's a lot of bad feedback, though, or when I say bad, I don't mean negative, I mean people give you criticisms that aren't necessarily true. They're from their own mind, it's their vision of how it should be, and so you have to have some sort of filter where it's like you have to trust yourself over that person's criticism, and I think I developed that too much to where now I'm—. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
19:03
You're trusting yourself too much, too much, rather than listening to that other person exactly. So I would suggest maybe being mindful of their opinion, because it's just an opinion at the end of the day, but you have to understand with yourself like, hey, does this make sense? And maybe open your mind, be more mindful of their opinion, maybe not be as reactionary. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
19:25
Yeah, like actually like take a step back, listen to it and then make my opinion, as opposed to immediately like oh, you're criticizing me. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
19:33
Yeah, yeah, and maybe you're just working yourself up about it too, just because I mean they're just telling you what they think. You know what I mean and it's really our reaction, just like we talked about last week with whining. You know what I mean and it's really our reaction, just like we talked about last week with whining. You know it's it's it's just a reaction and I just I felt like it's helped me to understand, like, hey, maybe this person's trying to help, but, like you said, some people could just be giving you that feedback and or or criticism and they might not know what they're talking about. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
20:04
Yeah, but at the very least I should with Keeney. It's like I should know that she's a trustworthy person she's giving me what she truly thinks will help. She's not trying to control our content Right, right, right, even as much as she would probably like to. But, yeah, I think maybe it's who the messenger is. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
20:23
Yeah, I think that has a lot to do with it. You know what kind of role they play in I mean people that were criticizing me or giving me feedback from Wendy's was the owner. He's the owner for a reason. Maybe he knows what he's talking about, maybe you know. And then my pride was an issue for a lot of it. It's like what is he or what is she to tell me that's right or wrong? So your pride has a ton to do with it. So maybe just put down your little pride ball it is a pride thing. 

20:53
Pride is so powerful and strong and it gets in the way of so much. It stops us from saying sorry whenever we're in the wrong. Yeah, it stops us from admitting we're wrong. Pride is just it could be a really good thing or it could be a really thing. That kind of hinders you, and so maybe we're just so prideful on what we do or how we do it, and these people just don't know what they're talking about because we have more pride in it. So maybe we just maybe, instead of putting a pride brick wall up, we just put a pride drywall up, something that could be knocked down so often. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
21:27
That's it. Yeah, that's really good. That's really good insight, daniel. Connecting those two. It's like the other flip side of a coin or something like that. It's like I'm so focused on the criticism that I'm not seeing what it is that's making me react, and it probably is my pride over making I made this, so I'm proud of it. And then when someone comes up and looks at it and thinks, ah, it's not that good, it's like, well, I just spent a couple hours wasting my time, I guess. Right, yeah. 

21:53
Fuck it. Delete Are you happy. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
21:56
Yeah, do you like it? Now it's a blank screen, but yeah, the pride dude is just so. I mean, who wants to admit that they're wrong or this idea sucks or that's a terrible idea? Nobody right, because we come up with it, we created it, and I just I feel like pride has a lot to do with it and something that we care so much about. You know, we're just prideful. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
22:24
Yeah, which is funny because, like, I think of myself as being able to tap into being humble, but I feel like I'm actually only really good at being humble about things I'm bad at. But if I'm good at something and I have that pride attached to it, suddenly my humbleness is not quite there as much as I thought it should be. 

22:52
Yeah, that's true. Um, and maybe that is what it is. I do pride myself on some of my editing, which is fucking good Apparently not to everyone, but, uh, I pride myself on it and I think that that is. It's like I did this. You couldn't do it. Who are you to tell me? And. 

23:02
I'd heard once someone say like only only and this is good advice and horrible advice for what we're talking about but to only take advice from people who are where you want to be, and that is good. There's a sense of that. That's good. But I also think that, especially at what we do me listening to criticisms definitely it would help us step our game up even more to relate to everyone. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
23:27
It could be a good and a bad thing. I definitely see that Balance. You have to be cautious on who you take criticism from If you're getting criticism for someone who knows nothing about what you're doing. But what is the main message? Maybe they don't know anything, okay. So, for example, I'm working at Wendy's and I'm talking to a customer this way. They never worked at Wendy's before. Who are they to tell me what to do? But what is this person? This person could be a professional public speaker. You know what I mean. Like so, have you ever worked at Wendy's? No, okay. Well then shut the hell up and let me do my thing. Let me talk to these people how I want to talk about. Hello ma'am, hello sir, nice to meet you, but this person could be a massive figure in public speaking. He's just trying to give me some advice. You know what I mean. So what is her overall message? She may know nothing about editing, but she may know a little something about common sense. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
24:25
Yeah, you know what I mean. She at least knows what it's like, more like to be the audience member than I do, which is a key point of view for us to be putting our heads in, and it's sometimes impossible for us to put our heads in the audience because we are the creators. Yeah, yeah. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
24:39
And that's why you have to just kind of wait, see what captures your audience, right. And when you first start in social media, it's hard because you're creating things that you like and obviously not one person is exactly like you, but there's many people out there who enjoy some of the things that you enjoy. That's why we become best friends with people, right, because we're so alike, right. So I don't even know where I was going with this story. But, oh, social media. So creating that content my stories get the best of me sometimes, but creating that stuff, it's hard to do what you think people like. So create the content. The content finds the people eventually, because there's other people out there that are kind of like us and then we just lean into that Like, okay, okay, it's that, let's continue. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
25:37
Yeah, and making sure our message is clear to where it's. And I talk about this with music, with people all the time and saying, how do you translate it? Make sure it's good translation about this. With music, with people at the time and saying, how do you translate it? Make sure it's good translation. If your message isn't well translated, even if there's amazing genius stuff in it, if the people can't understand what you're saying, then what you're not gonna make a connection with anyone. Right? 

25:58
you've got some great knowledge that you, I guess, you just keep to yourself, because I like my stories it's like when people use big words around me and you, yeah, it's like message not received buddy, yeah, when my face does this, yeah, I'm lost. Or sometimes I just do this. Just a smile and yeah, okay, cool. How often do you do that I found myself at. There was a period of my life where I would just agree with everything and heard everything and knew everything. You know, like when people are like you've heard that song. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
26:29
And you're like yeah, I know that song, you don't know that song at all. You think it's because people just do it, because conversation, like you're just carrying a conversation. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
26:38
I just wanted to be over with typically. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
26:40
Well, good luck, keep agreeing, they're going to be like okay, so yeah, you'll know what I'm talking about here. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah. Yeah, ends up with me looking like an idiot I do it so well though that I fool Whitney and the kids. People will come up to me that I've, I guess, knew in the past years or so, full conversations like oh, what's up, I don't even remember this person. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
27:04
Dang. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
27:05
I wish I had that Don't remember their face, but I could fake it, so I'm like, all right, we'll talk soon. See you, buddy. Good seeing you, do you feel? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
27:11
confident that you're selling it really well. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
27:13
Oh yeah, see, I think I can do it a little bit, but I'm so like this person sees all really doesn't know me and is filming a YouTube video or a TikTok and he's coming up and he's like Daryl, and I'm like what's up, man, and then it's all a joke. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
27:33
He knew he didn't know me, Because there's people out there like that. It's going to happen now. Yeah. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
27:36
I just fake it till I make it baby. I just go with the flow and Whitney's, like you're joking, right? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
27:48
I'm like no, I don't remember their name. That's why you're the star. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
27:50
I guess that's why I am the background guy yeah, you're the twink, I'm the twink and I'm the twonk, you're the twonk. Well now, man, I'd love to just fill you in on on something. I guess it kind of something bothering you, yeah, severely, oh no, it has nothing to do what we're talking about today. I'm so sorry. Can Something bothering you, yeah, severely, oh no man it has nothing to do with what we're talking about today. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
28:07
I'm so sorry. Can you tell me you want to talk about it? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
28:10
I'd love to, but first I've got to tell you what this makes me want to do. What, man, this is something that just makes me want to kick a brick wall. Lou C Kang style. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
28:27
Is that a Street Fighter guy? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
28:29
That's a Mortal Kombat guy. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
28:31
Aw, dang it. Come on, I'm supposed to be the nerd. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
28:34
Mortal Kombat Liu Kang. Finish him. He does the bicycle kick. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
28:40
I didn't want to pretend like I knew, have you? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
28:42
seen the new Mortal Kombat. Well, it's not really new, but it's on Netflix now. You're talking about the really old one from the 90s. No, the new one with like sub-zero, and that's right, the dude that changed into scorpion. 

28:54
So good, it's so good the new games are good I fell asleep but I think it's just because of old age and the dream was so good but anyways, this is just what just pisses me off, makes me want to kick a brick wall like luke cane. Or in other words, we like to say what twists our nips. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
29:13
What's with your nips buddy? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
29:15
just rude people rude people for no reason just coming up to me or somebody and just somebody. Or watching a video of just rude people for no reason. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
29:28
Do you have an instance happen? No, you're just thinking about rude people. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
29:33
I'm just thinking about rude people. No, what it was is. I just obviously scroll on social media and you see these, just these innocent people who are whatever doing, whatever, which I mean. You probably don't know what they did prior to the video, but there's rude people out there for just nonchalant reason. You know stores I've went into in the past couple weeks just fast food, for example. Jesus Christ Workers, yes, oh yeah. It's so bad. It's gotten way worse, I feel like too. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
30:02
It has, hasn't it. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
30:03
I remember thinking like, hey, you didn't say please, that's rude. Now they don't even speak to you. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
30:10
It's like Well, they are severely under. I have to stick up for the underpaid worker. All right, I think that they don't pay them enough. To be polite, I'll say it. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
30:19
Do you think they are keeping them trapped there? That's right. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
30:24
Trapped. You think so. Well, I mean, I think that circumstances puts you into having to work. Certain situations I worked food and stuff like that too. But I think that now the amount that it pays is like not even what it was when we like just like percentage wise. I don't know how you pay rent on $11 an hour. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
30:44
Yeah, there's no way. I mean you have to have two jobs, yeah. Or when I say two jobs a husband and a wife, or husband and husband, wife and wife, season and furry, we get it. Daniel, you're very accepting. It could be any of those, but you have to have two sorts of incomes nowadays. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
31:04
Yeah, it feels like that, don't it? And? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
31:05
if not two sorts of incomes and a side gig. Yeah. Whether you're, you know, selling coffee or prostitution. I'm glad we're on the same page. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
31:15
But yeah, it's you know what is it then? Is it like this generation? Is it because you see younger people working at these places? Yeah, or younger people being rude, mostly? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
31:26
Yeah, I think it obviously has to do with you know, at the end of the day, what I think it is is father figures aren't in the households as much as what they were in the 90s. Parenting, obviously, I think so. Or we're just so distracted with the distractions nowadays to where we don't realize it, realize the situations, or realize and just parenting is so different because of everything that we have now Facebook, tiktok, youtube, social media, the Internet, tv, everything's so distracting nowadays to where we can't parent our kids. Yeah, that's what I think. It is, just this generation. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
32:08
You can't even ask your parents what to do because they didn't have to deal with it at all. Yeah, yeah, I think you're exactly right with the distraction thing. It's like you're not mindfully parenting, you're not making real connections with your kids to actually influence them. They're making better connections with people online and things like that than they are with their parents, and the parents are so distracted with their own thing online that they're mindlessly elsewhere, and I guess that's why I support the mindful idea. 

32:35
So much because it is like we have lost our minds a bit and we're just not present. We're elsewhere all the time. We're never here with our children or our friends. We're just elsewhere. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
32:47
Yeah, and I think it's hard too because, especially like we try to practice that, like we parent here, like we don't let Cadence do whatever she wants, or you know, eli's in two separate homes, so there's things we do different here than what he's allowed to there. So it's hard in that sense, but we try to parent the best as we can and we try to think like, oh, this generation, like I said, we're fucked at the end of the day. Honestly, we always were. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
33:24
We always were, we always were. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
33:26
They might be smarter, but it's like they're dumb at the same time. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
33:31
I actually think statistically I heard Jordan Zieth is that since, like the 70s, human IQs are dropping. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
33:42
I wonder why. I think it probably is like a reliance on technology. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
33:47
yeah, because we don't have to know anything. Yeah, therefore, we don't know how to think. We don't know how to critically think, true and now AI is taking over Google. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
33:54
Do you see that? It's just some crazy stuff which they've been testing it on? Meta, the whole whole AI thing. And now Google. It's like you can tell Google to search for a parrot standing on a watermelon. Oh, like a picture? Oh, yeah, pictures. Yeah, the whole AI text thing is gone crazy, yeah. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
34:17
And it's going to keep going and it's wild yeah. And it works. And the craziest thing is like it's so cool and that's why we that's what's gonna, that's what's so distracting. Right, it's so cool. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
34:28
And in emails. You can now type in emails in Gmail and then hit AI and you can make it sound more professional. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
34:36
My cousin does this, yeah. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
34:37
Do all kinds of stuff, and then I could write a fucking book which brings me. I think I might do it. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
34:51
So Daniel's told me right before we got on that he's thinking about writing a book. I told him to save it for the podcast because I would love to talk more in depth about his book. What's the topic? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
34:58
I'm glad you didn't ask the title, because I don't know Topic. Honestly, I would love to do something inspirational and motivational. Okay, there's two things. Okay, I want to either do like a life story of myself, like an autobiography and the growth process of that and like stuff that's helped me and you know could potentially help you, and certain key things that have really made me grow as a human. I think that would be good. You're looking interested, no. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
35:31
I think that's good. You would buy it. I think I have. Or at least try to. I got to know something about you, something to explain what's going on here. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
35:39
I got to know the top three things that's made this this, this, going on here. I gotta know the top three things that's made this, this. But that, or taking a children's book and creating, you know, characters like cartoon characters like adly the alligator or pete the penguin going, merle the Monkey or Sarah the Sasquatch Keep going. And one more All Sarahs are good. Billy the Beaver, yeah, okay, all these people are going to comment like Sarah the Sasquatch, really. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
36:20
Someone's going to steal your idea. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
36:20
Yeah, sarah the Sasquatch, really Someone's going to steal your idea, but create those characters in some form of like they're just doing, inspirational messages for kids to learn Once you combine the two. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
36:32
Yeah, and it's like I'm a character you will be Daniel the dolphin, bingo, and and it's your life story of things that helped you and you're just paying like simple messages that kids could understand, of things that helped you grow as a person because I really, I really want to inspire the next generation. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
37:00
Honestly, that's what my goal like that's what I'm trying to do with Cadence, Like I want to, and I'm so passionate about that whole thing anyways, like just talking somebody up and like you can do this. Like put your mind to it, you got this, there's tools out there. If you want to be, you know, the first woman to have so many dunks in a game, the tools are out there. Apply yourself and stay focused, Keep a right head on your shoulders and you can do it. I feel like kids need to be told that whatever they want to be is achievable, and I got to do that at Oakland Elementary. I thought it was so cool, Although there was a little boy who wanted to be Spider-Man and I was like dude, I totally wish I would have picked that. 

37:47
But don't crush these kids' dreams and be like Spider-Man. That's not a fucking job. You know what, buddy? Is there a movie called Spider-Man? Yeah, If he wants to be an actor and be Spider-Man and fucking web sling to the next building, let him. Yeah, If he wants to be Spider-Man, let him figure it out. Maybe push him towards like hey, oh yeah, you could be. You know Spider-Man's really fake. He's an actor. Maybe that'll crush the child's dreams, but it could push him in the right direction. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
38:15
Yeah, I mean, there's something there. It's not just total fairy tale. He wants to be someone who protects other people. Who has all these powers. Yeah, and you can be a powerful person hopefully a good one but you can be a person who protects other people. Who? What's the big saying from Spider-Man? With great power comes great responsibility. Those things are great things for a child to take away and to understand. I mean for society to have people who understand that power is something that is important for you to hold responsibility with. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
38:47
That's a great message, so there's no reason to crush that. 

38:50
I heard a story of a guy tell I don't know his name, I'm not gonna say it, but his nephew or something was talking about in class. The teacher was like you can be whatever you wanna be. And so whenever he asked his nephew, he was like oh well, y'all been learning in school and he's like you know, we could be whatever we want to be. Our teacher told us he's like okay, cool, what did you say you wanted to be? He's like I wanted to be a transformer. Well, this dude flipped shit. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
39:17
He's like a fucking transformer, you transformer, you know, maybe he wants to be a truck driver I'm talking down south republican, yeah, yeah, high republican and just right, crushing this, yeah, crushed it, yeah, and ultimately, like reality is gonna tap in at some point in someone's life, but it it's probably just better to focus on what's the good message from this. Yeah, he'll find out that he can't turn into a robot at some point in his life. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
39:50
Right, but the good message is you can be whatever you want to be. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
39:54
Yeah, I mean right, there is. I do believe that if you don't find something that you want to be and then go towards something, then inevitably you'll just be stagnant and sit still and feel hopeless, and that is significantly worse than going after what someone else might consider a fairy tale or a dream. Moving, just going in a direction. They'll change off the course of being a transformer at some point. But if they keep trying to progress into a direction, well, that's movement. We want movement in people's lives. We don't want them stagnant, looking at their phone, feeling helpless, wishing that they were the people on their phones or whatever. You want people, especially children, to always be moving, always be learning, always be going into situations that make them uncomfortable, always doing these things that make you grow. Yeah. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
40:46
I wanted to be a Power Ranger when I was younger. It's more for Tom. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
40:52
What did you want to be? I wanted to be a Ninja Turtle. Hey, I'm kind of close. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
40:57
You're pretty close, yeah, oh, I was like the turtle shape, just a look. Okay, was like the turtle shape, just the look, okay, the neck's there. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
41:07
I need to beef up a little bit, I guess, but yeah, I look more like Splinter the rat. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
41:14
Yeah, ninja Turtle's wrong character, but I could see you as Master Splinter. You're in the world as a rat or something. I do want to try to write a book, but it's like how do you get started? I watched a video with this guy. He was very thorough and you've got to have this writer space and a time and a schedule and schedule how many words you're going to be done with on this day to finish this book. And I'm thinking, oh shit, I didn't know it was all this. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
41:42
Well, for the start, you just start writing your ideas now. Writing down what you think would be the beginning, going back and editing it, yeah, and seeing what it is, maybe the first chapter yeah, write the first chapter, go back, edit it a couple, because that's the thing with writing. Apparently it's a lot. You have to edit, Editing, editing editing, editing, editing, editing, editing, editing, editing. Going back and be like this is useless. Take it out, this is useless. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
42:01
What if I found somebody who I tell my ideas to and they write it? A lot of people do that. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
42:08
You know I can't spell worth a shit. Dude, why don't you just try to write an AI book at this point? What if? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
42:13
I write an email in Google to yourself, to myself, and then in the emails book, and then I AI that shit. I'd probably be best seller in 2025, just saying by AI robots, but I do. That is one thing I think I would. Really that's probably like. One of my goals is to write a book. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
42:38
Well, regardless at some point later in your life might be a great time to start writing a book too, when I get old. When you get more like even more stories and more knowledge, and then you can really put down some truth bombs on some people. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
42:53
Yeah, I feel like the motive is there and the messages are there, but in due time I think I would be able to paint the picture a little bit better, that'd be cool. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
43:02
That'd be cool too. What's your cover going to look like? Is it going to be you? 

Daniel Lawson
Host
43:07
Yeah, probably a super cool photo, like just me sitting on a stump. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
43:13
On a stump Because I'm a trunk. Oh, because you're a trunk, okay. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
43:18
And just sitting there like this, dressed as a lumberjack man or like overalls, shirtless, should I gaze? And then the title is Daniel's Memoir, the life of. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
43:34
Daniel Daniel's Memoir that he doesn't remember, nor did he write, nor did he write. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
43:40
By AI. I do want to write a book. Maybe both did. He write by AI, I do. I do want to write a book Either. Maybe both a children's book and like a life. What are they called? Like autobiography, autobiography? Like about me and social media and the understanding of that and somehow loop in the inspirational messages, the things that you know groomed me and helped me. There's a lot. Maybe it's two books, yeah. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
44:04
Maybe it's a freaking sequel. I think you pinpoint one topic and you hammer home that one topic In that book, in that book, and maybe it turns into a series, maybe it doesn't the number one topic that you think that you know the most about, that other people don't know which. I don't know what that would be. But, and let me ask you this before we close. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
44:21
Should it be a fairy tale book or a real book? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
44:26
Because I could nail the fairy tale Like that completely changes everything we've talked about. That's true Fairy tale. I would prefer the fantasy. Yeah, you would. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
44:36
Put a couple of witches in there? 

Jordan Hunter
Host
44:37
huh, that's right. Witches and warts. That's the book we should write. That would be wild. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
44:44
Well, at least we know what to do if this ever fails. Yep, but until next time, just remember I'm Daniel and I'm Jordan, and we're Daniel and Jordan. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
44:55
We'll see you next time. 

Daniel Lawson
Host
44:56
Later, if you got a wart, go get a witch or a wart lock. 

Jordan Hunter
Host
45:04
You need a doctor for the herpes, though.
