Barton Bryan and Mitch Royer

Saddle up for a hearty swig of Dripping Springs whiskey as we kick things off with a Texas-sized taste test that's as smooth as our banter. And when it comes to smooth, the comedy world gives us plenty to talk about – from the hits and misses of Cat Williams' "Woke Folks" to the star-studded roasting session featuring Tony Hinchcliffe and Nikki Glaser. Ever noticed how the spotlight tends to shine a bit more on certain celebrities? We peel back the veneer to speculate on the role of cosmetic procedures in keeping our favorite stars camera-ready. Plus, we'll toss you a relatable curveball with a tale of family bonding over the thrills of watching sports.

Ever felt that creeping sense of time nipping at your heels? We pull back the curtain on Testosterone Replacement Therapy and steroids, revealing more than just the science behind these 'shots of youth.' It's a frank conversation about society's take on aging, the pursuit of vitality, and the intricate hormonal ballet between testosterone and estrogen. But it's not all serious business; we'll also weave in parallels with women's cosmetic choices, making sense of the societal double standards. And yes, we won't shy away from discussing how these practices play out under the watchful eyes of doping regulations in sports.

Wrapping things up, we'll muse on the siren call of celebrity relationships, the trade-offs of fame, and whether it's worth chasing that spotlight or opting for a rich, private life away from the cameras. Remember the days when the biggest concern was your high score on the Nintendo 64? We'll tap into that nostalgia before confronting the darker side of modern online gaming platforms. And for the sports fans out there, we tackle the balancing act of ambition and family life through the lens of Tom Brady's high-profile career. So, as we put the barbells down and celebrate the everyday dad bod, we thank you for lending us your ears – your engagement is what keeps these conversations as lively as a game-winning touchdown.

Speaker 1:

Welcome to Dad, Bods and Dumbbells. In this episode we are going to try some Texas whiskey.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely, why not? This is from the great town of Dripping Springs, treaty Oak. It's a great bottle, one of our favorite spots.

Speaker 1:

This is just the regular day drinker, though it's a little young, but it's like great, like daily drinker. It's what I like to Ooh.

Speaker 2:

Ooh.

Speaker 1:

It's like I like to. It's turning into a little club. Shea, shea man. There you go. I'm going to have more. That's going to be just the start.

Speaker 2:

Man talk about the buildup Cheers. Yeah cheers to you, brother.

Speaker 1:

Nothing like drinking in the midday.

Speaker 2:

A couple big things happened this weekend. First of all, cat Williams had a special that was live. Oh, was it live so you know club you mentioned club shea shea oh man he had that. You know. The interview has like 68 million uh views on youtube which is like that whole thing yeah I mean, and so he had this opportunity with with his new stand-up special that was live.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was like on saturday night to really like just go all the way Right, and it was called like woke folks. So you're expecting him to just like unleash, and it was not great.

Speaker 1:

Really it was not great. That's a bummer, yeah, like I watched it live.

Speaker 2:

Watched it Cause I was like I was like I'm going to. I'm not a huge Cat Williams fan, but I just wanted to see where he went with it and to see if there was anything newsworthy from it. And then the next night was the roast, which was unbelievable and made all the headlines.

Speaker 1:

Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 2:

Literally there was nothing about the Cat Williams. You had to search.

Speaker 1:

They might have done that on purpose. Honestly, I mean, yeah, I don't know what's the deal with all the live stuff on netflix.

Speaker 2:

I think they're just, they're just going, yeah because, like I mean, so many people watch netflix like they watch tv.

Speaker 1:

Now, like very less fewer of your people are watching regular tv and like it is kind of cool, though, when john mulaney has a yeah, tv show and you like you, scroll, we went on to it. We were watching brooklyn-Nine. Yeah, classic show and it goes so awesome and it says go to live show, we're live now or whatever, and I clicked on it. It was like a countdown so they reeled me in, but I didn't watch it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I watched the first episode. It was funny.

Speaker 1:

He's a different type of comedian. Yeah, sometimes, sometimes I'm not.

Speaker 2:

yeah he's interesting, but I yeah I like the direction they're going. The great thing about a roast on Netflix is a there's no commercials, because remember the roast always to be on like oh yeah, and there was like three hours worth of commercial or three hours worth of content.

Speaker 1:

Dude it was three hours long.

Speaker 2:

They went all the way with everything. Uh, tony Hinchcliffe was brilliant the best.

Speaker 1:

I think, man, I was not Nikki Glacier.

Speaker 2:

Well, I loved it because people that know football they don't necessarily know who Burt Kreischer and these other guys, but people definitely didn't know who Tony.

Speaker 1:

Hinchcliffe was and he was in the audience with. Dana White, which was so wild. He got up and then just went into his bit and man, he just owned the stage he really did, you know, and I think a little bit he's nicky glazer kind of stole the show, yeah, but he was a, he was a close, those were the two that stood out as like gronk did a good job.

Speaker 2:

Dude, that was kind of so funny. He's like I wrote that one.

Speaker 1:

I'm creative too. I'm not just a dumb dumb. That was pretty great but yeah, that's wild. I don't like Brady, though. No, I don't either. I don't either. It was like it was really awesome.

Speaker 2:

It was kind of reminded me of, like the um, the Justin Beaver roast, where it's like you, you you kind of want to see him get his. You know, yeah, cause I'm not a huge.

Speaker 1:

I figured that he got paid. Oh yeah, he got paid like $30 million for it.

Speaker 2:

Him and Jeff Ross yeah, they co-owned this Greatest Roast of All Time name.

Speaker 1:

Oh really.

Speaker 2:

And so I think they're going to start. This was kind of the kickoff and they're in it together, so there's lots of business ventures happening with all this yeah, there's a lot of all this, you know. Kevin Hart was great, you know he did all right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he did all right. I mean he's not he's not my favorite comedian, but he's funny. I thought.

Speaker 2:

I thought he did a good job of keeping it going and keeping things like uh and and bringing things back to, like you know, neutral if it went a little off the rails, stuff like that he looks like a robot, not kevin hart. Uh, brady yeah, well, he's got work done, he's got a facelift.

Speaker 1:

Did you see the? Did you see that instagram post? There was an instagram post that showed like his ear lobes are pushed in and there's a scar underneath. Did you see this? My wife showed it to me and I was like he for sure got a facelift. Yeah, and not only that. I think, uh, I think the facelift, but obviously Botox.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah. Would you ever get Botox, probably hair implants, all this stuff.

Speaker 1:

I need hair implants my son. This is the story I was going to tell you.

Speaker 1:

So we were watching. Every morning I take my son to school, but there's like 30 minutes where we're just kind of waiting around, right, we had breakfast, we wake up pretty early, so we watched SportsCenter and we were watching Luca who was playing in the semis I forget who they were playing against and my son was like Dad, you and Luca have a really beards, look really nice. But he kind of puts his hands through his hair and you can't really do that and I was like what are you saying? And he's like well, you know, I don't want to be mean, but was like what are you saying? And he's like well, you know, like.

Speaker 1:

I don't want to be mean, but, like you know, he has thicker hair and you don't really have it. And I go what are you? Why shot, why, why would you do that to me? Shots fired, and I'm sitting there like, well, that's what happens.

Speaker 2:

Like Luke was 24, dude yeah he's 24.

Speaker 1:

And I've always had thin hair, had thin hair, so it's like come on, man. But yeah, shots fired and what?

Speaker 2:

I told him was uh well, you got my genetics bro, so just you wait, baby you got this nice hair.

Speaker 1:

Now, just you wait, bro. You're gonna like hats a lot, so yeah, that that's uh that's great so I would love to get. I know tosh, uh, daniel tosh did an episode where he showed that he gets shots in his head with his own blood yeah which is wild.

Speaker 2:

They take blood and they put it through a centrifuge to get the plasma out and then they re-inject the plasma into the cells of the hair follicles and it kind of stimulates growth.

Speaker 1:

It sounds super painful, but it also it's almost like stem cells for the hair.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Well, I think that seems different because my wife is actually more obsessed with my hair thinning than anybody. So she was like do you want to get? Have you ever thought about the hair surgery where you get the transplant? And I was like, no, I do not want that. And then, after she starts talking about it, enough. I'm like, well, maybe I need to get the what do they call it the hymns? Or the there's not, not the hymns, that's the erectile dysfunction, that's the ed one.

Speaker 2:

No, there is. I think it has a hair loss thing.

Speaker 1:

But you gotta like take.

Speaker 2:

So basically the reason there's a pill and then there's a cream, yes, so I got like a.

Speaker 1:

There was like a little like gel, because you have different types of head hair loss. My hair loss I'm going back yeah I don't have the monkey butt.

Speaker 1:

I got that going back I got the monkey butt yeah which I would die for, dude, it's the best because you just spray paint it. So, basically, what happened was what happened was I I get him because there was a special, because stacy's like all about it my wife I should call her just mrs royer mrs royer because she's a medical professional. I don't want to put her on blast, but these, uh, basically I have a high testosterone, just naturally, thank you. So that causes hair loss.

Speaker 1:

So what the pill is is like because you have to meet a doctor online or whatever to get approval for this thing. So basically the pill is to reduce your testosterone, to slow hair growth, so it messes with your testosterone. And then the gel is like put it on the outline of your head, but it's super. Uh, it doesn't dry, it's weird, and so I'd put on hats or whatever. It's staying, all of my hats. It would do like you on your pillow you do for bed more bed your pillow. It was like all greasy and gross like it's like soul glow.

Speaker 2:

Oh, my goodness, dude coming to america, yeah, exactly exactly.

Speaker 1:

And so I was like, and the pill was like I don't know if I'm just being over exact, because sometimes, like I get in my head about it, it's like, well, this pill's changing, uh, my personality, and like it probably was doing nothing, but I was like after a week I was like I can't do this, it's messing with me too much, and it's all mental, right, okay, so I want to be a part of the place. Do you have anybody that you know that does the placebo thing, where it's like you could do a test group? Somebody has the placebo, uh the fake one, and somebody has the real one. Be a part of a test group and I want to be the placebo, but not know it, to see if I'm actually like in my head about it right do you know anybody like that?

Speaker 2:

no, but I'm sure it's out there.

Speaker 1:

You start googling I mean it, all, it all call you, it all pulls together it all pulls together, but it is kind of random, though. Yeah, I get it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, now it's interesting the whole. You know testosterone such a funny thing because it, like it has, there's the anabolic side of testosterone which is muscle growth, and building muscle. And then there's the androgenic side of it, which is male characteristics. So you can't there's and there isn't like a testosterone that you can take that only does the anabolic and doesn't do the androgenic, which is why you know if somebody is on whether it's TRT or actual testosterone and they're pushing the limits of it.

Speaker 1:

What's the difference of it?

Speaker 2:

Well, it's all testosterone.

Speaker 1:

Is TRT like a part of it?

Speaker 2:

TRT is just the name of testosterone replacement therapy Okay, got it. So it is the idea of you have low testosterone. You're going to get, we're going to replace it, but what it is is testosterone sapienate, which is just a type of testosterone that you shoot into your butt right, or there's creams and there's pellets and things like that. There's a lot of different ways to get it.

Speaker 1:

Cream in the clear.

Speaker 2:

But it does both things right. And it also raises your. As your testosterone rate goes up, so does your estrogen level. And so you've heard of like things called bitch tits. Have I heard of things called bitch tits?

Speaker 1:

Not Mitch tits. Hold on. I'm not, I swear. I'm not making fun of you, mitch Bob, bob, from what was that?

Speaker 2:

movie.

Speaker 1:

Fight Club. Bob had bitch tits, yeah, so what happens? So this is a good so so what?

Speaker 2:

what happened?

Speaker 1:

so this is funny, but it's true, like this is a science term for it a lot of bodybuilders who take a lot of testosterone.

Speaker 2:

Their estrogen goes up so much. They have so much free estrogen in their body, yeah, that they start growing what it's called gynecomastia and they start growing female breasts. So it's actually like female breast tissue around the nipple?

Speaker 1:

Does it start around the nipple so you can tell it kind of starts? Is there any way to get rid of it? You have to have it surgically removed. Oh, it's there for good. It doesn't just go away.

Speaker 2:

That's the thing. It doesn't just go away when you stop taking it. Oh no, and this is true. If somebody's on TRT is because their testosterone goes up. They also have to get some sort of an estradiol blocker, estrogen blocker, or they have to be getting blood work to make sure that their estrogen doesn't go up too high either. Because of that, and also because, as as the as, you're putting testosterone in your body from from a shot, yeah your balls, stop working just stop, they.

Speaker 2:

They're like well, you don't need me, you got plenty of testosterone in your so like does it not, like you can't, so your balls shrink.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's the shrinky balls, not your pp, right?

Speaker 2:

just your ball I don't think you're pe do so and to be clear, as I'm saying all this, I am not on trt you're not a doctor, I'm not a doctor, I'm not on trt but.

Speaker 2:

But this is, you know, I've been in the world of bodybuilding and just knowing and just researching a lot of this stuff and like this this is kind of what's happening and so your. So your body stops producing testosterone because it's getting it through the shot right. It's also aromatizing that testosterone into some type of androgenic effect, which is sometimes where the hair loss happens. Acne can happen, and some people with the worst acne you've ever seen other people were on like massive amounts of steroids because the androgenic effect of that steroid is like so high that they just break out all over their backs and it's like I mean it's bad.

Speaker 1:

Like jeremy giambi, that's a right old best.

Speaker 2:

There you go, big baseball fan um yeah, every time you mention baseball you're I get you don't know anything about baseball.

Speaker 1:

You don't like, so bored oh, baseball again.

Speaker 2:

It would be like me talking about, well, sean Ray and Dorian Yates, I mean.

Speaker 1:

I find a way to like it, but I love the science behind this, what you're describing, because from just a guy that just from the on, I'm not in that world. I mean, I know the world but I, of course, lived in the steroid era with baseball because I'm a baseball fan. So to hear the actual like what it does is fascinating to me.

Speaker 2:

Well, and it's the point of all, it really is. It's not simple. Someone, you find out, someone's on TRT. They're they're not just, you know, taking shots of testosterone. They're also having to manage their estrogen. They're also having to like.

Speaker 1:

Does that move your sex drive to like with the ball shrinking things? You probably don't have a better no, because the testosterone.

Speaker 2:

The increased testosterone raises your sex drive to like with the ball shrinking things. So you probably don't have a better no, because the testosterone the the increased testosterone raises your sex drive oh god, I got it right so, as long as you like, you don't get sex drive from having full balls.

Speaker 2:

You get a sex drive from having a lot of testosterone in your, in your system, right, and so that's a lot so people that have like low, low testosterone often experience low sex drive because there's just not that much testosterone in the system, and so they they it seems like trt is so popular now, like it's the hot thing to do, like when you turn 40 you should get on trt well honestly it's it's not surprising, because here's the thing.

Speaker 2:

It's not surprising because here's the thing. You know, 20-30 years ago, women, they created breast implants and it solved a lot of women's issues. Really, women that wanted to have be more attractive to men. They wanted to be more sexually attractive. Right, they maybe were embarrassed or felt like their breasts weren't big enough or whatever. Like I'm not, I'm not making a judgment, I'm just saying it's for a lot of women. They went out, they got breast implants.

Speaker 1:

They feel better about themselves.

Speaker 2:

And they got more status. They got more likes, in a sense, from the guys walking around. They got whoa, you got big jugs. Now I'm going to hit the jugs, but I mean, you know it's just so.

Speaker 1:

How would a 39 year old say now you sound like a 12 year old, because I'm a 12 year old boy still. Oh my goodness, that's right, sorry.

Speaker 2:

But my point is it's like TRT in many ways does the same thing for men Okay. A man who's feeling inadequate, who's feeling whose testosterone is literally crashing, okay, or whether it's in your 30s, 40s or whenever, like they can't.

Speaker 1:

they can't get stronger yeah because you, I mean you is it noticeable like you can actually people that need it notice it?

Speaker 2:

yeah, I'm sure, like you're probably over, more overweight than than you want to be, or that used to be, because testosterone really stimulates your metabolism. It burns fat. There's a lot of doesn't. It doesn't burn fat, but it it helps move the process along of, like, leaning out and that kind of stuff. So you get on testosterone, you get stronger, you lose weight, you feel much more masculine, your, your, your energy is is a lot different, feels like you're 25 again you know like you have the same testosterone now as you did when you were 18 like it, just you.

Speaker 1:

So it's like that's really what it's like, that kind of it's like a.

Speaker 2:

It's like a you know, a shot of youth, like like you're. You know you're starting to feel like you know you used to feel when you're in your 20s and early 30s, but you get bitch tits well, no, you don't. If you abuse and you don't take things that are estrogen blockers, you can get bitch so okay, so this, this is goes to like the olympics.

Speaker 1:

So there are things that are banned because they block, like. I've heard all these stories about something that blocks something so that it doesn't detect, or they have a high volume of this because they were trying to show that they weren't on this.

Speaker 2:

What is?

Speaker 1:

that.

Speaker 2:

Right, so this is getting a little bit out of the scope of my expertise in the sense of, I can make a kind of a layman's assumption or understanding of this. So they're looking for PEDs first but they're also looking for medications that you would take to mask PEDs or you would take because you're on PEDs right.

Speaker 2:

So if somebody has a 900 score. Their testosterone is 900, that could be a natural 900. But if they also have Clomid or I'm trying to think of what's some other thing, that's like an estrogen blocker, yeah, Naturally. No, they would never have that in their system unless they were doing it because they were right Like so that's the, so someone has a very high testosterone and that does not necessarily mean they're on something.

Speaker 2:

But if they're on a drug that that suppresses a result of being on steroids, then that could be something like oh there you go, red flag right and then there's all these other like supplements that are also like, not you know that are you know, like we talked about ephedrine you know those, oh yeah I think even creatine on some level is not. Is is not acceptable.

Speaker 1:

So I used to take in high school, high school and college.

Speaker 1:

So there was this thing called ripped fuel oh sure, dude, sure it was before it was regulated so I used to take ripped fuel because I was trying to get like jacked, but I didn't really know what it was. It just the label was cool. I could buy it at the grocery store, you know, yeah. And so I started taking. I was working out pretty heavy and my parent, my dad, finds out and he's like what are you doing? It was like those moments of like if he actually found drugs in my house. He was so disappointed in me what are you doing this for? I was like dad, I'm just trying to get ripped and this is doing it. You know, like I'm getting lean, I'm getting all these things, and he's like you can't, like you got to be careful with this stuff. You, you're going to get like there could be roids in this, like. He was very much like that. I'm like yeah, right.

Speaker 1:

Well, there got to be like there was a point in my life where I was taking it so much that I got like really ragey, to where it was actually a roid rage thing, where I just got really pissed and my dad's like it's the rip fuel.

Speaker 2:

And so he talked to a buddy of mine who was uh, and everybody still brings it up 25 years later, remember that rip fuel incident and he had.

Speaker 1:

So one of our good friends was a dentist. He was also a bodybuilder, but a natural bodybuilder, yeah. So he was a little bit. You know, he was like second in the natural universe mystery universe. That was the rumor. I'm not sure if that's actually true because it, you know, over the years it kind of becomes a fable, but he was really good. All that. To say, my dad's like he takes it to him to like check it out and they're like listen, this stuff's unregulated, there's probably something, and so I can never get that again because now it's super regulated I had it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, there's stuff I used to take something called like jacked or something like that. J like j-a-x-x-e-d and did you take that same thing. I like going to like gnc and it was a pre-workout. My buddies and I were just like you know. But again, and then it all of a sudden just disappeared like no longer available. It's like the four loco.

Speaker 1:

Did you ever have a four loco before they stopped? Like making it, though, like the original four locosos were truly like they would black out. You have one Four Loco and it has caffeine or something. It changed your personality. It's wild. But the new Four Locos I had buddies that bought a whole bunch when they said they were going to change the regulation. They bought pallets of this Four Loco so they could have the original Four Loco.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's funny and, to be fair, that's you. You probably wasn't steroids in in in rip fuel, but it was probably more like speed, like some derivative of like you know, like it's trying to like.

Speaker 1:

It's basically like if you're gonna raise your metabolism yeah, get you like there's a lot of caffeine in it. Yeah you're just like, and you're just like you're burning more calories because your, your body like is just you're just kind of like freaking out I tried to take it again later, after they regulated it, just to see if it would do the same effects, and I realized I'm too old for this.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, stop taking it, but there's a lot of caffeine in it yeah, um, well, and this is you know, as you're, as our kids get into their teens, we're gonna have to be very aware of like there's a lot of new like stuff out there that kids are can order just on the internet and then, like you know, that's supposed to be anabolic.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you know, it's just, it's not just like, it's not 1980s like stuff anymore it's like it's all like I mean, there's just stuff out there that like kids can get, that are that are like drugs or like steroids or what that, that have some sort of effects, but they can be really bad for them too. So so just as your, as your kids are getting into that age where they're they're wanting to work out and they're gonna be so susceptible to friends telling them?

Speaker 1:

I might just tell them to be sedentary. Just don't do it.

Speaker 2:

You know you're better off, you know what just the couch, let's watch. Let's watch tv you know, let's you know, I buy you three video game consoles, yeah, yeah, every video game on planet you'll never want to go.

Speaker 1:

Were you ever into video games? Yeah, yeah, like what was your video game?

Speaker 2:

oh, I had the. I had the nintendo original nintendo mike tyson Punch-Out.

Speaker 1:

Oh man.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think the cool thing about it?

Speaker 1:

I never really. We always had them, like we had an original Nintendo, but I never got addicted. These kids would just get addicted to it when it's like to real life. I don't know, I just my son is all about Minecraft and he wants to play Fortnite because he played it once and he's obsessed with it, but I don't want him to.

Speaker 2:

Well, and so many of these games are like never ending, right, you're just like existing in like a kind of alternate reality where you can just kind of walk around and like do stuff which makes it even more addictive, because it's like unlimited possibilities of what you could do. I mean I used to love those games Like I mean I played on my computer like King's Quest or space quest, but you were so limited like yeah look under rock.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, now there is nothing like virtual, I mean especially with like virtual reality and stuff, but like I I even now I I think I could play a game like it and never play it again and be okay. Yeah, even I got into like call of duty. We used to play online, me and my buddy, when we're way too old to be doing this. We were playing call of duty online to hang out. We'd have our headsets and just talk, smack or whatever and uh, turns out like I stopped playing and I didn't care.

Speaker 2:

It's the weirdest thing ever yeah, and people talk about it's like it's probably not your addiction. You know like it's not an addictive part yeah, it didn't. It didn't turn on my addiction well, I remember literally being in college and my, my roommate brought home like some star wars video game for the sega that we had on there sega sega I do love this, the sega, I'd still play yeah, um but, and I and I sat there and I watched for a little bit and they're like you want to play?

Speaker 2:

i'm'm like nope, because if I do, I'll never come out I just knew I like, I like this Cause it was where it was really like. It was probably like 97, 98 where, like the, the graphics got really good, oh yeah, and it was just like you know you're.

Speaker 1:

It's all in cups 64 came out too, yeah, and I was like, if I play this, I'm done.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to flunk out of school Like I just I imagine my new life. I imagine myself like this this is my life Like ready player one and, just like you know, just never coming out Movie too.

Speaker 1:

Yeah man, I don't think we'll get to Ready Player One life.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, for my son's birthday, which was last weekend, a friend gave him this Robux gift card.

Speaker 1:

Roblox, roblox yeah.

Speaker 2:

Which is like this virtual.

Speaker 1:

There's like predators on it.

Speaker 2:

I heard Well, I did a little Google search and I'm like nope.

Speaker 1:

That's how they groom kids apparently.

Speaker 2:

I don't know. I heard this, I didn't read anything.

Speaker 1:

I have no verification of this at all, but I heard they can just chat with all these kids that are on roadblocks. But again it goes back to the conversation we had about cell phones, you know, like social media. It's like I don't know. I thought my life was over when some girl. I thought my life was over when some girl. Oh man, I got to tell you a story. I don't know if now is the time.

Speaker 1:

It's about the first girl I fell in love with. No, now is not the time. I'll tell you later. Write it down.

Speaker 2:

Save it for later. I don't know what we got into this episode and we talked about steroids and TRT and all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, Hair loss.

Speaker 2:

It started with hair loss. Yeah, it started with whiskey. We had.

Speaker 1:

We had some whiskey, some treaty oak, uh-huh, uh, it's a little young, as you said, a little young. I need some ice cubes.

Speaker 2:

I think, yeah, a little smoky, but um, smoky I think maybe last little tidbit here uh, um, oh, you know, we talked about, we did the brady. Uh, gross, oh man, yeah, yeah, all right, it's a good place to wrap up I think so too.

Speaker 1:

I here's, here's where I think thank you for bringing the brady thing up. Uh Brady, uh gross, oh man, yeah, yeah, it's a good place to wrap up. I think so too. I here's, here's where I think thank you for bringing the Brady thing up. The the jokes that they said were mainly about him leaving Giselle, or Giselle leaving him because he wanted to play football and be the greatest, still because there was an ultimatum or whatever. I don't know about the relationship. I don't care that much, but the thought of caring so much about a thing that's not my family and saying I'm good with that and my family leaving it's just devastating to me and I can't imagine that. So I think we could all use time to reflect. Yeah, he is the goat but, what cost but the other?

Speaker 2:

the other piece of that is like you don't know how transactional that relationship was, or how, yeah, I mean, I don't know you're relating your relationship to stacy to like mrs royer and you really thank you but yeah, you mean, you're, you know, it's like some of these relationships, because these two people are she's a supermodel and he's a, you know, quarterback like they're. They're oftentimes serving so many different purposes.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and they're actually not even having a real relationship. That's interesting.

Speaker 2:

It's just hard to know. Hollywood relationships or just celebrity relationships are usually just so intertwined with the circumstances of that If one of them was not famous, if one of them was not famous or one of them was not in the limelight, like the other one was would it even work?

Speaker 1:

I would much rather be rich and not famous, so that's what I'm going for just the rich. I don't want that fame stuff man.

Speaker 2:

But didn't you just say that you wanted to be more popular than the people you're?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I also have a double standard. I live in a different world. No, it's always like different. That's so funny.

Speaker 2:

The fame thing is is interesting because it's like it sounds really cool, but then, like, careful, what you wish for, yeah, you know and everybody that I talk to, especially in this space.

Speaker 1:

They're they're always looking out for somebody that is trying to take advantage of them, taking them like profit off of them yeah and so it takes a lot to build that trust and it's very easy to lose that trust. But I don't want to live that life. I like to be able to say hello to people on the street and not feel bombarded like it's pretty cool, so I'll stay that way. I I take it back. I don't want to be famous I'll put that out.

Speaker 2:

Well, I think you just you said, you said you'd rather be rich than famous. Sorry, I want to be famous. I'll put that out. Well, I think you just you said, you said you'd rather be rich than famous.

Speaker 1:

I want to be rich. Yeah, I mean not to say I'm not already this is very confusing. This was a great episode. Thanks, bart. Thanks for listening. Uh, like and subscribe. Make comments wherever you listen or watch podcasts yeah, thanks for listening.
