We appreciate you listening and hope that you enjoy the episode as much as we enjoyed recording it .
Speaker 2As Hemingway said , there is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man . Who nobility is being superior to your former self .
Speaker 1Enjoy the episode as much as we enjoyed recording it Context Ever .
Speaker 2King , you want times . Oh yeah , it's up to you .
Speaker 3And , realistically , the way we switch topics Is gonna be super easy to do . Yeah , it's .
Speaker 1Usually a clear , definitive line .
Speaker 3And now , cause it's usually a- clear , definitive line yeah and now , yeah , well , because it's preceded by anyway , yeah , you know what that's it .
Speaker 1And then we should just have a thing that anytime , anyway , is said , new chapter , funny I like that I like the uh coca-cola zero with tony stark iron man .
Speaker 3Yeah , if you scan it with your phone . He appears in augmented reality on your phone . Oh my god , I know I found that out why don't we all ?
Speaker 1why aren't we all wearing augmented reality glasses yet ? Oh , I don't know , I can't afford them , okay , but like I don't think they're that good yet .
Speaker 3Like a VR headset .
Speaker 1Well like the Apple Vision Pro but , like something that's not so bulky and like literally like those . Uh , I remember the other day I was I I maybe you weren't in that chat , but I was running and I was frustrated because I'm trying to keep my heart rate .
Speaker 3You showed me that . You showed me .
Speaker 1It's amazing so like these glasses that literally have a heads-up display in them and it just shows you like your running time , your heart rate , your other thing . So it's like a heads-up display in your glasses and they're like they were 300 bucks and I was like I debated getting them but I didn't haven't . Like just for the heart rate no , well , it's like for uh , cycling or running or whatever it tells . It shows you , like how , how far you've gone , your your run time and your heart rate , it looks really cool .
Speaker 2That would be kind of cool , except sometimes I like not knowing how far I've run yeah , I don't .
Speaker 1I yeah . Lately I'm not really trying to run the distance , I'm just trying to run for a certain period of time but keep my heart rate in zone two and sometimes it's easy , sometimes it's not I haven't heard anything about the apple vision pro I have watched some videos on it , uh , and I debated buying one .
Speaker 1but but here's the thing , if you're like a single dude who's like goes at home and you're gonna stay single , well , you probably will , but I also could see that it'd be more useful to you because , like here's the thing , if I go home after work , uh , put my go home to work , put my apple vision pro on and shut up the five family for the rest of the night While I watch videos , uh , in my head over here , while I cook supper over here and completely like just neglect my family life yeah .
Speaker 1You know what I mean Like and then even so say , even you go to the point where it's like , okay , maybe you don't use it , then you get your kids you have supper , you do the thing , you put the kids to bed and now it's like okay , your wife and you're gonna watch a show .
Speaker 3Actually , no , I'm gonna put this headset on and watch my own show and you can watch your own show and if you think about it , like how many couples sit there and my wife and I are guilty , but sometimes she's on her phone , on my phone , yeah same , and so we do headsets . I feel like it just makes it worse , even worse .
Speaker 1Yeah , you just the disconnection is , uh , I just feel like it . I feel like that's all it's going to create because , even though you can go like opaque view where I can still see everything around me , I could be looking at you all right now , but looking at a movie over here , or it's crazy because you can set screens wherever you want , so in your house . It maps the house you walk around . You say , every time you go to the kitchen , you're you have a above your stove , like a virtual timer above your stove , and it's always sitting there . So you walk into the room , that's where that is . You could have your music app , your Apple Music tab , over here . And when you walk into this room you see it , you're like , oh okay , yeah , I want that . And then you just set these tabs anywhere you want in virtual space and they stay there .
Speaker 2You could have , like your youtube screen completely set up would it be as good it is , as good it's pretty , it's crazy and you can .
Speaker 1If you have an app like an imac , like a like imac pro , you can use the your screen as a second , like second , third , fourth screen , so you can set up different screens around and you could use like four monitors . It's crazy stuff . It really is pretty . It's a cool technology , but I just don't , unless you're gonna figure out a way to use it in your job where it becomes super useful , like just as like a fun thing to have .
Speaker 1I just think it it's just a novelty novelty and just again removing yourself from your social life I still like , I still play that .
Speaker 3I've had that vr headset for like five months . I still play it . Yeah , once twice a week . I try and get 30 minutes to an hour total on that thing . It's so much fun the novelty hasn't worn off but it will . But again , I just use it for the games , I don't use it for the . I don't do stocks or have six windows up and tracking things .
Speaker 1I don't know there's a video my kid is watching on youtube .
Speaker 3I don't know what business people do .
Speaker 2Don't make that face tracking what do they do , I don't know Stocks with all their screens and graphs and stuff , yeah that's what business is to me .
Speaker 3I don't know .
Kids, Wokeism, Hedonism, and Greek Gods
Speaker 1My kid watched this show where this guy I can't remember how long he wore it for like a week straight or something . It was pretty funny .
Speaker 2Do they have speakers in them ?
Speaker 1Yep , so you don't need headphones anymore . No , they're like it's built into the strap . I think it's pointed at your ears , kind of like how those shock ones that you don't have to actually be in your ears Right .
Speaker 2Yeah , it's kind of like that . I'm surprised I haven't seen a single person wearing them .
Speaker 1That's true . Well , it's expensive . It's like $3,500 . Yeah , it's like $3,500 .
Speaker 2Yeah , but people spend way more money on stupider shit , that's true flex as the kids , kids would say is that what they say ?
Speaker 3that's what my kid says . He has some , some , some skins in fortnite .
Speaker 2He's like it's a big flex dad like I don't care , I don't care um , was it you talking the other day again about what kids say ? Your kids , yes , they're like riz and oh okay , dad I was doing a , a work thing and just doing .
Speaker 3You know , I was on the street and uh , I was talking to somebody and then two kids came up to me and uh , they're like hey , you , just you were just risen up , that this is what they said . You risen up , the milf . I'm like what are you talking ? About these two kids . They were just . They're like maybe 15 , 16 and I was talking to an older lady , whatever and yeah , and I'm like , what does that ?
Speaker 3even mean , and they're like well risen . I like , oh , I don't know what that means , I just but you knew what MILF meant . Well , no , no , god , no , Never , no idea . Well , everyone watched American Pie when we were kids .
Speaker 1That's when it came out . Remember American Pie .
Speaker 3True , yes , that was like , was that when um ?
Speaker 1kids are so messed up right now it's .
Speaker 3I didn't understand then . Then they tried to carry on conversation . I couldn't talk to them .
Speaker 1I didn't understand what they were saying , because you I , thinking back to me at that age , like yeah , we were probably dumb too . But like definitely , but I wouldn't have walked up to someone in that position and like hey , man , you'd be like hello sir no , I'm not .
Speaker 3I'm not on your side that you were not that dumb . I feel like the kids nowadays are much dumber than we were when it comes to social smarts , but I I guarantee you weren't .
Speaker 1I don't know , I think it's easier to think that we weren't now , but I think we were all stupid when we were , obviously . But it's just .
Speaker 3We were stupid .
Speaker 1It's very different , like I think the lack of respect is huge , just for adults in general . Adults in general , like kids don't care .
Speaker 2Let me ask you this Because your kid's almost in high school . She is going to grade nine this year .
Speaker 1Sorry your son , he is grade five , six next year .
Speaker 2Okay , so two more years . I was listening to a podcast today with Mike Baker , okay , and he was saying that like wokeism is just like dead on arrival in high school , like the high school kids are just , you know , just using like the retard and like just like saying like really not pc words , which I was thinking I was like , ah , like of all the high school kids I've interacted , I feel like that's actually kind of true . Like high school is where wokeism is dying right now . Is that true ?
Speaker 1I don't know if that's true . I , I I'm not sure , actually I have no idea . I think that I think that , yeah , I can't really speak to that . I don't really know . I I don't haven't noticed it with my , with my daughter's friends , like they they're pretty , um , like I heard that they've talked about like pronouns and stuff before , because they have a friend they have . There's lots of kids in the school who , like are going through whatever , and so they're respectful for that . Of that I think , or at least they say they are , or they try to be .
Speaker 2I don't know is it wrong to tell your kid not to be respectful of furries ?
Speaker 1I think you tell the kids that you should , people should live how they want to live but until it affects you , until yeah , exactly , yeah , yeah , yeah , I exactly and treat everyone nicely , unless they're dicks to you then who cares ?
Speaker 3I have a funny story about kids , about my kid is this the story you had ?
Speaker 1it was an interesting thing .
Speaker 3So there's a bit of backstory in about a minute .
Speaker 1Then we do a check after that yes , we're using a brand new SD card today , so we're going to tell the story . Hopefully it gets recorded , and then we'll check to see whether it recorded I think , I think we should maybe check first and tell the story . Yeah it's I really want to share .
Speaker 2I really want to share with you guys .
Speaker 3I find I find it's quite funny to my , to myself .
Speaker 1My wife didn't find it so funny okay so we're going to hype this up and prolong this and then be very disappointed when he tells us .
Speaker 3It's going to be terrible , it's going to be terrible .
Speaker 1So we're going to take a quick pause here and check to see that this is recording , because we don't want to redo this .
Speaker 3Good write speed on it , though . Up to 200 megabytes a second , yeah Praise .
Speaker 1Odin , it recorded , yes .
Speaker 2Who's ?
Speaker 1Odin . He is the god of somebody .
Speaker 3He's the dad .
Speaker 1He's Zeus' dad no .
Speaker 3No is he , the god of Thor . He's Thor's dad , if only we had a way to look this up . Thor and Loki . Is that what it is ? Yes , odin Is Anthony Hopkins in the movie . Yes , with the eye patch . Yes , that's Odin . Odin , you were right .
Speaker 2Oh he praising the god of war and death . Why not ? It seems like a good one .
Speaker 3I feel like there's other gods we can praise . He's got one eye .
Speaker 2What about the god of like ? What is it called , when you sit around with all the grapes and stuff like that ?
Speaker 3Man . Greek mythology is so cool . No , greek mythology is cool , he sacrificed his eye , so we can see Hedonism , the god of hedonism .
Speaker 2Can you look up the god of hedonism , please .
Speaker 3I don't know if I should . Yes , All right , I'd like to know who the god is . I'd like to praise the god of hedonism . I'm just going to Google hedonism , because that's going to .
Speaker 1No , look up god of hedonism .
Speaker 3No , I'm just going to .
Speaker 1Google hedonism Dionysus .
Speaker 3Praise Dionysus .
Speaker 1Yes and Odin .
Speaker 3Yeah , it's a sensual .
Speaker 2God is what it says I suspect that Dionysus and Odin have a lot of things in common . Hedonism leads to death and war .
Speaker 1Maybe or just enjoyment .
Speaker 2No no . I don't think so I think we've covered this off Maybe .
Speaker 1But what do we know ? We're not gods H , god , hedonism is not the answer . Uh , do you ever see those greek mythology so cool ? Yeah , did you ever see those resorts , the ?
Speaker 3hedonism resorts . That's why I didn't , that's why I was just gonna google hedonism is that where everybody smashes everybody else's wife ?
Speaker 2yeah , that's , it's uh ah , man , there's .
Speaker 3There was a guy they interviewed . Do you remember that the clip ? No , all the , they're anything . This old guy , this hedonism resort he's like , oh , it's just all the bumping and grinding . No , it's like a meme .
Speaker 1I feel like there's hedonism resorts for singles and for couples and you have to pick the right one .
Speaker 3What if you pick the wrong one ? How does that work ?
Speaker 2You're a couple at a singles resort . Yeah , oh , this is awkward . I think that's a problem .
Reflections on Jealousy and Evolution
Speaker 2If you look up hedonism , I heard he's a good guy . He's a good guy . A good guy , do you ?
Speaker 1think Dan Blazarian is happy . Yes , no , no , well , maybe . But I guess here's the question If he can do what he does consistently and he is happy , if that's his lifestyle for the rest of his life , that says kind of a lot about him as a person . I would say you're a pretty shallow person , yes , true , yeah . So maybe I think you could be happy at that if you were a really shallow person and that's all you cared about but if you're a really shallow person , does anybody , like nobody , want to be around you ?
Speaker 1oh well , people want to be around him .
Speaker 2For some reason , you have money I don't .
Speaker 3You have money they interviewed one of the uh , one of his like girls , I guess whoever would follow him around .
Speaker 2One of his concubines .
Speaker 3Yeah , there's a podcast . There's three of them on there and a couple other girls and , like this guy interviewer , it's like a nice , it's a round table pod . It's really interesting . Anyway , they said he's very happy and what you see on like Instagram , like that's what he is and that's like he lives that lifestyle .
Speaker 2It thing for social media , all that kind of stuff see to be fair , I don't follow dan blazerian on instagram , yeah , but I feel like , like the life that he leads that I picture in my head , I would just get tired yeah , like at what point ? Like bro , don't you just want to like , not hang out with bitches and ride on boats all day ?
Speaker 3I should . Maybe you know , don't you want to just go up or something , don't you just ?
Speaker 1want to go home and like lay on the couch and talk to your wife and like have your kids yell at you and , like you know , sweep the floor and clean the toilets and stuff what's wrong with you ?
Speaker 2yeah , and just like continue to be poor and broke .
Speaker 3Yeah average it would get old . It's one of those things that would get old it would .
Speaker 1I would think yeah , it would again , I think it would to certain people , but other people are wired differently and it's completely . They probably don't care , they probably think it's awesome .
Speaker 2Or he's riddled with anxiety and depression and just medicates it with cocaine and hookers , Right yeah okay , which makes him happy ?
Speaker 1It just makes him happy .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 3He's not hurting you . He's not hurting you .
Speaker 2You're just a little jelly , that's okay , okay , I am a little jelly A little bit of his money and such . I don't want to be jelly . Yeah , I don't want to be jelly .
Speaker 3My neighbor got a new truck . Oh , they're keeping up with the Joneses .
Speaker 2What kind of truck ? A brand new fucking Ford Raptor .
Speaker 1Oh , have you ever driven one of those ? They're so nice , aren't they ?
Speaker 3He owned one back then . Apparently , they're pretty nice .
Speaker 2So neighbor got a brand new Ford Raptor and immediately I'm just like . I feel this feeling of like jealousness . How much does it go for these days , dude ? Like more money than you should be spending on a vehicle ? Like 150 ? I bet you like 130 , 120 . It's more than you should be spending on a vehicle . Yeah , $30 , $120 ? Jeez , that's more than you should be spending on a vehicle . Yeah , but my immediate first reaction is fucking jealousy , which is a disgusting emotion . Yeah , it's not very useful . It's completely useless .
Speaker 1I don't think it's any good . Well , is it useless ? I don't think it's useless .
Speaker 3No , I don't think it's useless . I think there's an evolutionary reason . Primitive-wise it's not , Maybe . Oh , look at all the meat he's providing for his family . I need to you know what I mean . Like that kind of a thing .
Speaker 2Look at that nice meat he has . Yeah , look , oh , he killed a lion . Yeah , he's got good meat . Okay , well , don't make it weird . Don't make it weird , wow .
Speaker 3But I think you're right Primitively , envy and jealousy is probably a good thing in a way in humans to do something more potentially .
Speaker 1Maybe if you label it , I guess on the good side of it right , it's obviously probably pros and cons . On the pro side , I think there'd be an evolutionary reason to it to say to yeah , to drive you to be better , to try to get that thing that they have right but in today's hedonistic society where his raptor is not going to get him any closer to the meat , then it's going to get me .
Speaker 3I might get closer to some meat I like what you did there , by the way , anyway , yeah um , I just , I don't know I don't .
Speaker 2I was like . I saw it , I felt the jealousy and then immediately was like oh , this is a disgusting emotion , but that's good .
Speaker 1That's a good recognition of yourself to be like it's good to to feel it , because you can't . Here's the thing feelings . Where does that come from ? Right ? It's not . You didn't want to be jealous so it popped into your head . It was a thing that you didn't want to happen , but it was a feeling . You recognize it . You're like this is stupid . I shouldn't feel this way . I'm not saying it didn't stop you from feeling that way , but it was like a recognition of it . Where'd that come from ? That's dumb . I don't want to feel that way . Move on , how many ?
Speaker 3good , some people would have saw that truck and then went and bought a new truck you know what I mean .
Speaker 210 years ago . Yes , yes , yes that's , that's what .
Speaker 1That's what's weird about this whole idea of , like , well , trust your feelings thing , right , because it's kind of complete bullshit . Because your feelings are , they're sometimes completely the opposite of what you want to be or who you are , but , and you can't help it , it just happens and you're just like what ? What I don't want to be grumpy today . Why am I grumpy ? And it's just like . You have to like , recognize this feeling and move on .
Speaker 2But it's so weird , like you know , when you wake up and you're just pissed off , yeah , yeah , like for no reason . You just wake up and like fuck everyone and fuck everything .
Speaker 3Yeah , yeah I don't know why .
Speaker 2No , it happens I remember starkly and I granted , you and I were both kind of in a dark time , but do you remember , like four or five years ago , you and I both walking down the hallway at the nursing home in the basement ? Yeah , and we both took with each other and we're just like yeah , it was just like that recognition of like I fucking hate everyone and everything yeah , there's a dark time there .
Speaker 3Yeah , but we were in it together . And that brought . It brings people closer when you're in the muck together . Right .
Speaker 2It does . It's just weird the feeling it comes out of nowhere it does . Yeah , Like , where does it ?
Speaker 1come from , just like thoughts , yeah .
Speaker 3Thoughts .
Speaker 1Okay , are we going to your story now ?
Speaker 3This actually ties into the story .
Speaker 1Okay , here we go .
Speaker 3Like perfectly , but you would have had more experience with this , obviously , than I have had , and CJ would not have had any yet but will probably in the future . So in 1994 , the movie Flintstones came out .
Speaker 1Yep , I remember you remember that ?
Speaker 3Do you remember Halle Berry in the Flintstones ? If you don't , I've pulled up a picture , as she was my crush . Okay let's see With Halle Berry and the Flintstones . Yep , she's beautiful still . Oh , I remember Right In the Flintstones she was very hyper-sexualized . She was essentially supposed to flirt and distract Fred Flintstone so he would sign documents and have all the workers at the quarry fire .
Speaker 2Okay , who Fred Flintstone was . What's his name ? John Fred Flintstone was . What's his name ? John Goodman . Yeah , and then .
Speaker 3Rick Moranis was Barney , I think , anyway . So when I was nine , halle Berry was my crush , okay , and so that would have been when I was about . Actually , it would have been about when I was like 10 or 11 . Anyway , so we're like , oh , you know what we should do ? We should watch Flintstones with our family , because my wife's like , yeah , she liked a lot of the movie when I was a kid . So just just to preface this , my boy right now is nine .
Speaker 3So there's a scene , the first scene , and she's in the flintstones where she , she really distracts fred with like a very sexy walk and she's wearing this loincloth thing . It's , it's super hypersexualized for a pg movie . Anyway , when that happens , I turn my head and I look at my boy . So he had I've never seen this in him . He was sitting there , we're just all eating pizza , watching the movie and then all of a sudden he kind of curled his . Do you ever watch those videos ? Like new kids when they have pizza for the first time , or like root beer and they're trying to contemplate if they like this thing or not , and it's that .
Speaker 2Look on their face .
Speaker 3He had that . So they tap my wife . I look hey , hey , hey , hey , just looks . She's like I'm not fucking ready for this . But he had this thing where he's trying to figure out what he's feeling . You could see it in his face and I was like holy shit , like 10 , 11 , 9 . That's the area where they start to be interested and I don't know how to .
Speaker 1Just let it go . You just let it happen , Just let it buck . I mean nothing you can do .
Speaker 3But the weird shared experience that I've had when I was a boy with Halle Berry . My son , I believe , has had with Halle Berry and I'm just like , oh God , Yep , Do I talk to him about this or do you just ?
Speaker 2let it happen and see what happens . In like 15 years you got to leave it alone .
Speaker 3Not about our , our shared like of a certain person , but hey , son you like that loincloth ?
Speaker 2don't you weird .
Speaker 1Uh , I think I've been sending my wife , just don't let him watch hally berry and swordfish that was , that was a big deal .
Speaker 3Some say it was a double no , don't tell me that could have been a double no I don't know .
Speaker 1Uh , I think there's nothing you can do about it . I think you ride , but you just also have to . I think . I think you still have to restrict , obviously , content and not get crazy with what movies they're watching , are allowed to watch , or because I think it's important to like monitor that as much as possible I mean he plays like chess online and stuff like , and it's through a browser .
Speaker 3And now we we're like , oh well , we have to now do all this net secure , like all the security stuff and the browser safety and all that now .
Speaker 1So I need to because of Halle Berry . I need to be better at that . Yeah , I do too .
Speaker 3Okay , I do too , but uh , so so that's happened in my life and I don't know how to handle it . Yeah , I don't know , man , just gonna let it happen . Hopefully my wife has to talk nothing there's nothing to do ?
Speaker 1I don't think I . I think school , I don't know , it depends on school . I think they do a decent job at uh , sex education . I mean , I mean , I have no idea , maybe I'm wrong .
Speaker 3We had to sign a permission slip so you could go to that this year , like they said , and they gave us the topics they're covering .
Speaker 1I'm like , oh , this is actually so what we actually what we did was , um , my wife bought there's these books you buy and I can't think of the name of them , but they're different for different ages and there's like an introduction and they're very like biological , like science-based . This is what this is , um , I can't . I'll try to think of the name of them , but there's again , there's different ages and they get more um advanced .
Speaker 1for the older ones , obviously , and even when my daughter was I don't even know eight maybe there's like there's a one for like seven to eight , eight year olds , seven to nine year olds , and it kind of starts with the birds and the bees and explains the biology of males and females and in like a appropriate level for that age , and then there's a one that's for older kids that goes into a bit more detail and but like they actually were very I would like to know the name of the company that made those books , because I feel like that's a good thing .
Speaker 1I'll find out . Actually , you can probably have them , because we still have those ones .
Speaker 3I don't know if I want your secondhand sex ed book .
Speaker 1But it was actually very good because , like she would read , they would like sit down at night before bed and they would just kind of read like a little chapter and if she had any questions they'd do it with her . So if she had any questions she could answer them and , uh , that's kind of how she did it with with our daughter .
Speaker 2So that's what I'm gonna do . Yeah , what age ?
Speaker 1is grade four uh , that would be about nine , yeah that's where , that's where he's at .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah , okay , why why there's I'm just trying to think of , like that was the age when I started sex ed .
Speaker 3Yeah , that's what they .
Speaker 2yeah , I think like grade six is like the first time I can acutely remember thinking a girl is attractive .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2Right , like a girl in my class , april . What was her last name ? O'neal ? No , fuck , mcnulty .
Speaker 3I think were you watching the Wire ? Yeah , hey , I was just going to say hey , mcnulty .
Speaker 2I think that was her name .
First Crush and Awkward First Dates
Speaker 3Was that your first crush ? Yeah .
Speaker 2Do you remember your first date ? Sadly ? Yes .
Speaker 3I do too it was fucking terrible . Well , I want to hear your story , did you ?
Speaker 1remember your first date ? Not really , but I have to say I from a young age was into girls Like , yeah , you were yeah , we get it .
Speaker 3You're young age was into girls like yeah .
Speaker 1you were like yeah we get it , you're straight way to go . No , like like I'm talking like grade one grade two no , you were dude .
Speaker 3Oh , you were dude I I legit .
Speaker 1Remember , like on the , on the , like the schoolyard , we would play like trying to like catch the girls and kiss them like really yeah , my kids play that too .
Speaker 3Right , but it was like .
Speaker 1But I and I remember specifically , like there's I , I grew up with the same , I grew up in small town with the same people from grade one to grade 12 and like I remember , specifically in grade one and grade two with , like , these girls in my class that were like I , like , liked them , I was like , oh yeah were they ?
Speaker 3were they your age ?
Speaker 1like yeah , they're in my grade , yeah , oh so but like I remember that and it's weird because I about I think now to like my kids and unless I'm oblivious , I don't think they really did had that . Yeah Well the hidden puberty in grade one Joe .
Speaker 3It wasn't puberty , it was just . I don't know what it was .
Speaker 1It was just , I guess it was weird about it . I'm thinking back and I'm like he's already shaving .
Speaker 3No , but like I got , I got like married in and you were doing like .
Speaker 1You remember those stupid things where you do those like , uh , those like mash , like I don't even know what .
Speaker 3Yes , and you're like who do ?
Speaker 1who are you gonna marry ?
Speaker 3and who are you gonna like ? Where is it where you live ? Yeah , something weird . I don't know your salary . Is that the thing with the thing ? No , you know it's a . You write it out . It's a game you'd use .
Speaker 1You all you remember vaguely remember you use your names and then the amount of like vowels . I don't remember how it worked , but it was like again . But you were thinking about it and you're always thinking about . Oh , you like that girl and you like that boy .
Speaker 3I remember crushing like yeah on girls when I was like I think younger , like yeah , that for sure was me , I for sure was younger , like that's what then my kids ?
Speaker 1I think I've ever really , unless again , unless I'm oblivious to it , whichever very well could , but but here's the thing .
Speaker 3Did your parents know like ? I think so maybe , maybe this is the same for you . I think so I don't think my parents knew I had a crush on hallie berry I know my boy does but that's it . You know , I'm aware . Yeah , it's weird , I don't know .
Speaker 2All right , first date cj okay , so I'm gonna , I'm gonna back this up a little bit . So my , you grew up in a small town . You went to the same school , the same people , for 12 years , which I think could be like really good or really bad , depending on how your social experience goes .
Speaker 3Yeah , for sure there's two girls in my class , and one of them was my cousin and I dated the other one , so it didn't go that well . For me like 80 , great selection anyway because I went to a high .
Speaker 2I went to an elementary school and then my parents moved me to a different junior high . Um , or we moved , or whatever . So , like , the group of kids I went through elementary with was not then the same group that went to junior high , yep , you know what I mean and then they moved me to . We moved again to a different high school . So the group of kids , so like it's actually really tough for a kid to like integrate into social circles , like right you know , all the people we work with that they move a lot right .
Speaker 1It'd be fucking hard yeah , every like three years you gotta find all the friends and who already are connected they're already friends , they already You've been getting friends outside of work .
Speaker 3Oh yeah , if you're moving to , it would be impossible , oh God yeah .
Speaker 2Yeah , because it would just be all the people you work with . Yeah .
Speaker 3Anyway , just kidding .
Speaker 2Anyway . So my first date was at the Old Spaghetti Factory . I liked that place , and then I thought we were dating as a result of going on a date . Apparently , that's not how that works . There has to be a stated like . This is a thing now To which there was a rude realization or a way Did she cheat on you ? No , only one of us thought we were dating . And that was you , and that was me Sad she is now a news anchor for a major metropolitan city news service .
Speaker 2That's hilarious . Yeah , so that was fun that was it .
Speaker 1Was it awkward or was it like a good date ?
Speaker 2oh , it was okay . We went to the old spaghetti factory and then we went to a theater how old were you ?
Speaker 3what was the movie ?
Speaker 2it was like grade 10 it was like pretty old , so you were driving ? No , no , dad was still driving grade 10 . Yeah bro , I was pretty old .
Speaker 1Dude , that's not old for a date , first date . You think you're fine . I don't know .
Speaker 3My first date was the Titanic movie which came out .
Speaker 2I think I was oh actually that wasn't my first date .
Speaker 3Okay .
Speaker 2My first date was also at a movie . Oh and that and then a . Nickelback concert .
Speaker 3Oh , perfect , that's a sweet date yeah .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 3All right . Do you hold hands and stuff ?
Speaker 2I don't remember .
Speaker 3You took her to a concert .
Speaker 2Hopefully you get some hand holding . My dad was there . Oh , that's well yeah that's tough .
Speaker 3Yeah , that's tough . Yeah . Titanic came out in 97 , so it would have been can't do math . Yeah , so it would have been 12 or 13 when I went on my first date .
Speaker 2Yeah , that's legit which is ?
Speaker 3what grade is that ? Oh , that's like seven eight yeah yeah , I don't remember much from the date . I remember we had a quick kiss at the end and our parents had to drive us there and back . And then I had my hand around her , but it was like resting on the seat and the and the friend behind me took my hand and kind of threw it on her shoulder , so it was touching her as opposed to just on her back and uh , and I was like , yeah , smooth , all right , and that that was that .
Speaker 3And she yeah , she and I and I still had like we only dated like once or twice and then I started crush on her the entire time in high school . She was she's just a beautiful woman , though . She's awesome and still friends like and all that stuff .
Speaker 2She's super cool it's such an awkward period of time in your life , but that's the best I know .
Memories of Young Love
Speaker 2But at the time , it's terrible . It is terrible and looking back you're like , oh yeah , that was awesome because it meant nothing , but at the time it means so much that , like you , can't even objectively enjoy it .
Speaker 1Yeah , your emotions are just weird .
Speaker 2Because , like , because now that I'm thinking about it like in that , like grade seven to nine range , like like same thing . You know , you like watch a movie like my neighbor's house , we go over to her house and like watch a movie , and like you'd be like , oh , I'm gonna hold hands , like that's the greatest thing ever right , that that's how you're so nervous that anxiety and nervousness that we probably don't wouldn't get anymore if we all had to start dating again I don't know , I don't want to do that .
Speaker 2I , I do not want to do that . Oh my god , torture , what's your ?
Speaker 3what's your little grade three ? Grade three date I'm literally so it's .
Speaker 1It's like I said I , I , I can't , I can't differentiate in my mind , like when my first day would have been I . It's weird . I can remember weird things , like from grade one . I remember , uh , so this girl named cassandra uh , we actually still talk every once in a while because she's a teacher uh , she , we were friends like basically all through my growing up , like she's known me . She knew me basically from the time I started school until graduation and uh , but in grade one I had a crush on her and I remember that we had like this reading things and if you finish reading quickly , you could go play in the play something over there .
Speaker 1And we ended up finished reading together or something , and then we ended up like cuddling under the table , like it sounds so weird , like thinking about it , because I did that actually happen in like a classroom , I don't know anyway , uh , it's so strange . And then , but then , like so , but I basically end up the girl I end up dating in high school are grade nine or nine . I basically dated till first year university and but I can't remember like a date , a first date that we did went on or anything like that . So we dated from like I feel like grade maybe nine or ten , I can't even remember .
Speaker 1And all the way to like , first year university crashed and burned , shocking when we moved from a small town to you have university of calgary , uh , and then yeah and then from there I remember I remember like first dates , like after that point , because it was different people in like different situations that were like so foreign to me . Uh , the girl I dated after that . I remember that . And then there's like things that I can remember after that but because it was like kind of such a blended long period of time during high school , like I can't remember like when with the first date would have been yeah , I remember quite .
Speaker 3I remember quite a bit . What's your worst date memory ? I haven't had a catastrophic . As you know , I tend to over plan a lot so I haven't had oh , I did have one . I had a catastrophic failure . I did have one .
Speaker 1I had a catastrophic failure .
Speaker 3Let's hear it On a date and it wasn't my fault , it was . I was like ah , 1920 . It was about the country bar that used to be here . I met a girl and I got her phone number , which you had at that time .
Speaker 2You had to fucking write down , or just make sure you didn't forget it and repeat it in your head .
Speaker 3And then . So I had my friend drop me off at her house the following day and he was kind of a prankster , and so he dropped me off in the house the following day . And we never like the night at the Ezzy's or whatever . We didn't hook up or anything , I just literally danced a bit , exchanged
Wild Nights and Bar Fights Memories
Speaker 3numbers . Next day he drops me off , he walks to the door with me and I'm'm like what the fuck is going on .
Speaker 3So , bro , get back in your fucking yeah and like he just dropped me off at the house my car was in the shop , I remember that and she opens the door and she says hi , and they know each other a little bit , or whatever . And he's like , all right , cool , well , see you later . And then he reached in his pocket oh , this asshole . And he grabbed a pack of condoms and he threw it at me and then walked away and and I couldn't recover emotionally from that and it was super awkward .
Speaker 1Was she there when she did the condoms ? Oh , right in front of her . Right in front of her . I thought she hadn't been there , yet this was his prank that he was playing .
Speaker 3That's pretty funny , but I'm glad he did that , because that date did not go well . And then I met my wife like a month or two after that .
Speaker 2So thank you . Did it not go well because of the condoms ?
Speaker 3yeah , it's not not a good start . Well , what if you played off ? You could have thrown them back and made a mom joke .
Speaker 1Yeah , that guy's an idiot .
Speaker 2Your mom will need these later tonight , or something like that .
Speaker 3You know what I'm going back 20 years .
Speaker 1I'm gonna make it happen . If I make a time machine , I'm going back to that what it is .
Speaker 2It is , yeah , I think so .
Speaker 1There's I protecting you from danger . I feel like I have a better like . I feel like I should know , have a good reason why that's the case , because I know I've read about it , but I can't think of it off the top of my head . I remember that , but that's why like because that's why , like everything , we thrive off of negative things . Like that's why tiktok uh , twitter , all these things like just thrive on negative emotions . Because the negative things that draw that out of you , your neighbor's truck , yeah neighbor's trucks that kind of thing .
Speaker 3What's your bad date ?
Speaker 2I've never to be honest , I've not like had bad dates . However , I do . The first time I ever got drunk , I was hanging out with a girl and I thought , thought I didn't realize what alcohol was , and I drank the majority of a two , six of Jack Daniels . So our date lasted about 20 minutes after that and then I had to go promptly go home for the next two days . How old are you , oof like 16 .
Speaker 1I think that's when I started drinking and stuff , maybe like 15 or something . I didn't drink until I was like 20 . Dead , serious , what . Didn't have a drink until I was like 20 years old .
Speaker 3That's going in the notes . That's going in the minutes . Are you serious ?
Speaker 1100% . Yeah , like I said , I grew up super religious and I just didn't have any interest . I had opportunity to , you'd go to like friend's house and they're drinking . I just was like , nah , I'm good . And then uh , yeah , but then the funny thing is like , uh , when I got turned 20 , then I kind of started drinking . I remember the first time I got drunk was at the den at ufc and it was kind of ridiculous and I think I puked every single time I drank for like the first dozen times , like it just I just didn't know .
Speaker 3I just didn't know when to stop .
Speaker 1I know , I just didn't know when to stop . It was like , let's just keep going . I feel great , this is awesome , and then by the time it's just you know , the world starts spinning and it's too late .
Speaker 2Yeah , and you know what ? The first thing I ever had to awesome .
Speaker 3Do you split it ? No , I don't know . Actually split the bottle .
Speaker 2We're at his mom's house .
Speaker 3I don't , I don't know you're sneaking alcohol from your parents . You ever watered down ?
Speaker 2uh no , my , my parents also were not big drinkers . I don't think so , like they never really noticed I snuck some alcohol yeah I just yeah I .
Speaker 3I could not get as drunk as I was , you know , when you were like 18 and something and not even college man like yeah , and you're like 18 and something , well , like you've been in college man , yeah , and you're drinking the crappiest beer .
Speaker 1How do you afford it too ? Like I don't look back to that . We drank like Boxer .
Speaker 2Justice Nation was much less back then , big Bear .
Speaker 3Big Bear was another one . I think we drank .
Speaker 1What was Lucky Lager ?
Speaker 3Lucky Lager was terrible , we drank that .
Speaker 1I feel like you would go out to the bar and you could like get drunk off 20 bucks and there's no way .
Speaker 2I remember like Well , they still have 25 cent draft , yeah , yeah .
Speaker 3Remember the pints or the not the yeah pints or the jugs . You can get the jugs from . There were like a $4 jugs from the country bar . Yeah , and it was like four shots and you just it was you know , and it was so much fun it was . It wasn't necessary .
Speaker 2It was necessary in your life to do that at that point and it was all like these weird social groups of people that overlapped or like clashed . Occasionally people would get bottled in the head , yeah , or stabbed .
Speaker 1Were you lucky . Oh , do you remember the fights ? I was never around that .
Speaker 2How dumb were the fights .
Speaker 3They were so dumb and nobody knew how tearing shirts .
Speaker 1I don't know if I was just purely lucky , but I can remember one bar fight that I was around when I was out at bars , just one . That was a university Halloween one , I remember . I don't know . My group of friends obviously weren't like that . We must have got lucky . I have no idea . We were at the roadhouse every single night the group we would go with .
Speaker 3There's a couple of them that always wanted to like they would . The night wouldn't be good if we didn't fight there was one time we would , there's no fights . And it was like this is a great night because I didn't like it , and then like it in his face without even trying it , because he didn't get the chance to fight that night and this was his chance . Like what the fuck are you doing ? Wow ?
Speaker 2god , people are dumb . I also don't recall a ton of bar fights , but I had a group of friends in college around second year college that just loved to fight like and yeah , the problem with bar fights is not everybody's playing by the same rules exactly and these guys would just want to throw down .
Speaker 1They're like , bro , like just anyone gotta stab you , or usually one person , just like just a completely cold cox , to do it out of nowhere and like this , like just didn't get me out to see it coming and then that guy's like screwed yeah it's bizarre and in fact one of those guys remember the guy I told you about in the podcast that didn't record that got in the plane crash .
Speaker 3Yeah , yeah , he was one of those guys .
Speaker 2Like we would just go to the bar and he just , and he was just , he was like a tough Northern Canadian that just likes to fight and drink .
Speaker 3Well , it toughened him up enough that he survived the plane crash . I'm kidding , I guess it was good for him yeah , it's weird , man do you miss , do you miss it I , I miss it , it's one of those things .
Speaker 2You couldn't do it today you couldn't do it today with , if you could go back to like way less responsibilities , way less give a shit about your body and your health , yeah , and then maybe you could do it . Yeah , right , because I remember , I remember my body couldn't handle it now that's oh no , we'd all die day two you'd be dead .
Speaker 1But that's what the problem is saying . You miss it because it makes it sound like you would do it again .
Speaker 3I would like to experience just a stupid night like that again .
Speaker 1Would you no at your age right now ?
Speaker 3No no , but like , no , but I , I like . This is like a Freaky Friday thing where I transform . We did that a year ago , a year and a half ago . When .
Speaker 2Easy's bachelor party .
Speaker 3Yeah , we did and that was a blast .
Speaker 2That was a good time actually .
Speaker 3But that was like I drank , but I didn't drink a ton .
Speaker 1We drank quite a bit and , surprisingly , I felt good the next day .
Speaker 2Yeah , but I had fun and it wasn't like the stressful like go to the bar when you're in your late teens .
Speaker 1It was like a bunch of dudes in their adult years who generally make good decisions .
Speaker 2Yeah , even even under the influence . Yeah , because , like , at no point are you like oh , I'm worried , like jason's gonna start pushing people and here we're gonna go .
Speaker 1Yeah , exactly , but that's why it's like you have to that's why I think it's interesting I think because people , because as much as like I trust all of you .
Speaker 1it's like I've unless you've been around someone who's drunk sometimes , you never know they might be the people that go crazy when they get drunk and we know some people like that , yeah , but it's weird because it's like , for whatever it is , the alcohol affects them in a way that they just get angry or mean or whatever . I just get like I want to hug everybody and it's weird , but like part of you is like is that their real personality ?
Speaker 2Oh , I think so , man , because , like most of our friends , it's no change or an amplification of the silliness . Yeah , yeah , yeah , for sure , but you like the angry drunks , you're like . I think you're just an asshole .
Speaker 1So this is why , like I think , maybe from when you hire people for position standpoint- you got to get drunk with them , just get them drunk .
Speaker 3You should take them out and see who they become . This is something you could institute in the current job you're in right In the nursing home .
Speaker 2Buddy , I actually think that's a great idea . It is . I don't know why I just called you buddy , it is no , but I've thought this forever . It is a great idea , especially for our job .
Speaker 1Like if we just go out and get everyone just blasted one night .
Speaker 3Yeah , and then see who ? Well , because it relaxes their inhibitions .
Speaker 2Yeah and oh , this is a brilliant idea .
Speaker 3I think we should probably have a tester with the current young people that you're overseeing .
Speaker 2Here's a million-dollar business idea . You might actually need to bleep this out . Okay , so we run a headhunting company for businesses , but what we do is like fucking legit job interviews .
Speaker 1I know , I know exactly where you're going .
Speaker 2Yeah , yes . So we fucking legit job interviews , like I know , I know exactly where you're going , so we could say , like he's a good dude , you want to hire him , or like no , no , he becomes an asshole but the best part is guess who's paying for the alcohol ?
Speaker 3the people who hire us ? Oh , this is a good idea , this is a great idea there we go , we call it , we're just like legit recruiting legit .
Speaker 1Do you want to know who you're , who you're hiring ? Yeah , do you want to know who ?
Speaker 3you're really hiring exactly I . I like it , I I'm in , okay , I mean , I feel like I'm the same you . I feel like you're pretty . This , you're pretty similar . You just get more .
Speaker 1You get more huggy I get more loud , like like talky , which is surprising .
Speaker 2And yeah , I get more like loving and huggy we do work with one person that tried to murder me once .
Speaker 1When they were drinking , but but it was like , was that a fun murder ? It ?
Speaker 3doesn't narrow it down .
Speaker 2It wasn't fun for me .
Speaker 1I know that but like they thought they were having fun .
Speaker 2Well , there's no fun , like were they smiling and laughing . As they were drowning me in the Dominican . Yes , oh okay .
Speaker 1Well , that's fair . Yes , things like that happen , but , like again , wasn't coming from like an anger no , goodness , no yeah so it's like I'm still good with that that's okay .
Speaker 2I think if you get drunk and angry at the same time , it's time to quit drinking . Yeah , I would .
Speaker 1I would think so the first time , if I , if I the first time I ever got drunk that I became like somebody I hated , I , I don't think . I think you just gotta stop immediately , yeah , yeah , if you're the guy who has to , you say well , no , it's , your excuse is oh , I was drunk , like I know I did . I'm really sorry , I was drunk which is such a bullshit .
Speaker 2Excuse completely
Effects of Alcohol and Roofies
Speaker 2.
Speaker 3But but but we've all I've kind of done that and I think we all kind of have is like if you go to a party or something like that and you just drink a lot and you , just , you , just you make good decisions , but you just kind of , you're kind of an idiot you might say something stupid the next day .
Speaker 1You always kind of feel a little bit of like oh fuck , was I an asshole last night .
Speaker 2That kind of a thing I haven't had that in a long time . You go camping with your friends and you go skinny dipping and the next morning like oh , I can't believe I did that . I was so drunk like no , like I knew what I was doing yeah , you knew you were naked in the water 100 and I enjoyed you all watching me do it my tiny white ass running into that lake , yeah , I don't know , I it's I think it's a really convenient excuse , but it's also very shallow , true , and that's a good point to be fair , I .
Speaker 1But I never believed , until it happened to me , that people actually don't remember what happens after the drink , like yeah I honestly I honestly thought that was complete bs until mexico trip . One time 2011 me Mexico trip Took tequila and I literally don't remember from some point in time until waking up in the morning .
Speaker 2I don't like the way you said took tequila . I took it , that was weird , it's not a drug I drank it .
Speaker 3I ingested some tequila . Maybe that's a problem .
Speaker 1I slipped some tequila . Maybe that's why I don't remember it , but that was the first time I ever literally could not remember from a period of time till the morning yeah , I've only blacked out once too , and it is bizarre , so weird .
Speaker 2I I actually , uh was with a girlfriend of mine at the bar once when she got roofied . Oh god , oh wow , that was wild .
Speaker 3Yeah , like zero to a hundred crazy really oh , like and like and you obviously didn't like you didn't know , or like there wasn't other girls in the air . Like I got roofied too . It was just like what is wrong with you right now , that kind of a thing . It was like I was like it was like you didn't know , or like there wasn't other girls in the air . Like I got roofie too . It was just like what's wrong with you right now .
Speaker 2It was like I was like it was like you're having a good time and all of a sudden I'm like that's not , something is wrong and , and to her credit , she's like we need to leave right now . And I'm like fucking no , kidding . Uh , and by the time , like probably two hours later , it was like pretty good , and I was like what the hell happened . She's like yeah , I think I got roofie . I'm like yeah , but it's just like so does she not remember the two ?
Speaker 3is that what roofie does you forget it ? Well , and like I don't , you get insane .
Speaker 1You basically very persuaded , drunk but and also just like you go from like zero to a hundred , uh , really , really quickly , like you basically were normal and now you're like you , just like you drank all night long like sloppy loser drunk , yeah where it's like control yourself almost .
Speaker 2Oh , like , I , like , I could see , like if people are using that to manipulate or take advantage of people , which obviously they are , it's , it's easy , right , because , like , that person is just a puddle , yeah , just a non-function , and even and even if they said no , they couldn't do anything about it because they're just so messed up .
Speaker 1That's crazy , my uh . So mike the guy listens to this and uh , we're giving a shirt to because we are getting those made soon . Uh , he got roofied at a bar one night and he he said he was like just no , he was like had like one or two beer , went to go take a pee and all of a sudden he started feeling like like he was the drunkest he've ever felt in his life and he's like what the hell happened ? And he's like I gotta get out of here and took off . And that's what he think he got roofied .
Speaker 2So or somebody roofied his drink while he stepped away , or something , or and all it takes is like like , ghb is just a liquid , it's a little bottle cap , that's why they have the sleeves for the cups and all that stuff now .
Speaker 1The sleeves . Well , they cover it up .
Speaker 2That's just Bar Safety 101 . You just walk around like this .
Speaker 3I never did . No one tried to roofie me . I kind of feel left out . I never even thought of that back in the day .
Speaker 2I don't think you're the prime target .
Speaker 3I thought Mike might have been . Maybe you're talking
Developing Anti-Roofie Drug and Barbershop Stories
Speaker 3about him , do they ?
Speaker 2make a drug to counteract that , like an anti-roofy .
Speaker 3Yeah , you put your hand on top of the cup .
Speaker 2I don't know if they do Like I've been roofied An antidote , like an antidote . Yeah .
Speaker 1Like I can pop this and be unroofied immediately . I don't know , but we should develop it . We should develop it and start selling it at Roofie yeah .
Speaker 3Yeah , roofie , be gone .
Speaker 1Floreys . How do you ?
Speaker 3spell roofie R Roofeline . Okay , that helps me a lot . Thank you for making it more complicated . How do you R GHB ?
Speaker 2It's not picking it up . Gamma hydroxybutyrate Butyrate .
Speaker 3Hydroxybutyrate , hydroxybutyrate , there we hydroxybutyrate , there we go . There is no anti-roofy drug currently . It looks like currently being the key word here , and that could be part of our second .
Speaker 1Yeah , we should get some , uh some , vending machines up in bars with the anti-roofies . I know where we can get some just throw those things up and sell them for like a hundred bucks a pop you'd pay for that ?
Speaker 2if so , hey , have you been ?
Speaker 1we could do an infomercial just hey , have you been roofied ? We could do an infomercial . Hey , have you been roofied ? Just put your credit card in this machine and we will give you the tap-in .
Speaker 3We can probably charge what we wanted to , because no one's going to remember .
Speaker 2Because they're so shit-faced they're just going to tap their card .
Speaker 1So you've been roofied . How worried are you about this ? We'll start the bidding at $100 .
Speaker 3That's crazy . There is no instant roofie be gone , there are only two antidotes in this vending machine tonight .
Speaker 1We will start the bidding at $100 .
Speaker 3You've got a really good voice for that .
Speaker 2You do . It's like the creepy AI is taking over the world .
Speaker 3Yeah , this is like the Squid Games kind of . I feel like that could be the announcer on that .
Speaker 1I like it . Yeah , people do weird things to each other . Welcome to the flooring .
Speaker 3Yeah , like roofing somebody . Yeah , that doesn't make it fucking crazy People are disgusting . And then would you just carry the person out of the bar , Like what's the plan here ?
Speaker 1I legit think they do . I think it's like oh man , this is my friend , I'm just going to take him home , they'll be okay .
Speaker 2Steal him away from the group of friends and do horrible things to them , and I think girls generally based on my recollection of time at the bar do a good job of looking after their friends . Guys , you're kind of a little bit more like a lone wolf .
Speaker 3Yeah , like Mike just takes off . Yeah , I'm going home , guys .
Speaker 2But if we were three chicks and J Balina ? Disappeared we'd be like where is she ?
Speaker 3We need to find her right now , we'd protect her , and I get that we need to find her right now .

Speaker 3We actually looked .
Speaker 2We were talking about that , the other day you need to look back to 1995 okay , anyway .
Speaker 3Uh , we're talking about that and like at what point you're trying to remember when I gave up on my hair Because we have friends who are also losing their hair and they're going to have to reach that tipping point when it's like , well , I go for haircuts now and the hairdresser looks at me like why ?
Speaker 1are you here ? Is that kind of a thing ? Yeah ?
Speaker 3So we have some friends going through that right now . And I had some conversations with them about it conversations with them about it and just you know clippers cost .

I was away in in ottawa for like five weeks and I had to go to a barber shop down uh downtown ottawa maybe get like a hot shave . No , it was the best experience . It was uh in Ottawa for like five weeks and I had to go to a barbershop down uh downtown Ottawa .
Speaker 3Maybe get like a hot shave . No , it was the best experience . It was uh , it was one of those . It was a stereotypical . It was a black barbershop from like the ones you would typically see in , like the movie , the show , the movie barbershop . Have you seen that movie ? No , it was C entertainer and something I know the .
Speaker 3I understand a black so I roll into this barbershop it's got , it's got the thing outside that spins or whatever it is . I'm like , okay , I'll just get a nice , just get a buzz . It took him 45 minutes to buzz my hair because he would do a buzz . He would take the broom and brush my hair and then he would just talk shit about everybody else in the barbershop and it was I . I left there and I was like this is the best experience I've ever . I would go back there every week to get my haircut . It was so much fun , interesting , but that's like the last haircut I've had .
Speaker 1Do you watch Luke Cage ?
Speaker 3No , Is that what's his name ? Michael ? No , michael . Jai White no , no , yes .

Speaker 1And Kamala Captain . Yeah , kamala , not Kamala .
Speaker 3Harris , vp Kamala , no , so we got Luke Cage here .
Speaker 1I'm just saying that , like that reminds me , because there was a barbershop like centered around a barbershop as well .
Speaker 3Oh yeah , yeah , it was . I've seen him , you know , you see him in movies and stuff and obviously we don't live in an area like that or whatever . Like it doesn't have a lot of barbershops in here . I think there's like one or two . What Bar ? What Barber shops ? Yeah , it was a lot of fun .
Speaker 2Stop location doxing us bro . Oh yeah , do we have to do the silence now ? No , we don't .
Speaker 1Silence . It's happened so many times , it doesn't matter , all right .
Speaker 3That was like the other radical apathy podcast .
Speaker 1Yeah , it was pretty funny with Mike .
Speaker 3Yeah , I'm not going to say anything by the end of it .
Speaker 1He's just L-dropping everything and just like specific names of people . It's just hilarious .
Speaker 2I don't know why . It matters Whatever . It doesn't If you want to know where we are ? Just ask .
Speaker 1What matters , what does matter ? What matters in life , you know , that's a good point . Hedonism , it matters , or it's not good . I'm confused , sorry , it's not good . It's not good . I'm confused . Sorry , it's not good , it's not good .
Speaker 3Uh , praise or dionysus , dionysus , dionysus oh , can we find out the proper pronunciation ? I was curious about what hedonism . Are you taking notes , are you ? I'm actually doing pretty good . I put time stamps in the notes and then I realized that I didn't write down when we started .
Speaker 2So the time stamps are useless because actually just on the subject , can we talk about time stamps for a second ?
Speaker 1sure , sure , I'd love to you know what I was hoping tonight that we would talk about 7 42 pm time stamp .
Speaker 2Go ahead cj I'm sorry if you've been reading our titles for this podcast .
Speaker 1No one reads them . But if you do , that's not us , that's the ai that we're just allowing to do our job and they're fucking terrible they are but I don't want to change them because it takes a lot of effort , but now I'm going to go change them every time . Or we just don't use it and we just get creative .
Speaker 2I don't know . Well , no , we don't need to get creative . I think we can just do simple titles , but like , did you read the last one before I changed it for the Zendemic ?
Speaker 1Yeah , what it was , but it was the best option of the five . It gives you five options and it was the best one .
Speaker 2Everybody is using ChatGPT now for their shit , are they ? Oh yeah , like Adobe ? I was trying to update an Adobe subscription for my wife today and they have , like fucking not ChatGPT but the image one . What is it ? I don't know Photoshop no like you type in the word prompt and it generates an image . Oh , generative ai yeah , everybody's fucking using
Discussion on Carbonated Water and Addiction
Speaker 2it really . Google has it meta , has it your instagram on your phone now ?
Speaker 1I saw that . Yeah , I'm like my . What does it do ?
Speaker 3I haven't tried it yet my amazon fire stick has it yeah , on the search tried that on your fire you can say , draw a picture of this and it will , you know , generate a picture .
Speaker 2Oh yeah , and they're decent on your instagram if you show like teach me how to like shuck a fucking corn .
Speaker 3That's what , that's the skill , what did you say a fucking corn , that's the skill .
Speaker 1What did you say ? A fucking corn ? Does it change it ? Chuck ?
Speaker 3a fucking corn . Can I muck one of your worms there ? That's right , be my guest .
Speaker 2Sugar-free . So , fun fact , we're eating sugar-free gummy worms tonight .
Speaker 3To be fair , you're eating sugar-free gummy worms .
Speaker 2Well , you're about to be eating sugar-free gummy worms . Fun fact about this fun fact sugar-free does not mean guilt-free , because these have sugar alcohols in them which are fucking . They're not as bad for you , they're not quite as bad for you , but any but like I think we're being sold a bit of a bill of goods .
Speaker 1Speaking of bill of goods , can we , can I please get you to google why carbonated water is bad for you ? Because yeah cj , your wife got me freaked out right before this podcast because I've been drinking bubblies like they are just water lately a lot of them , you and me both and uh , she said something in passing as we shut the door , uh , that they are actually bad for you . And now I'm wondering why and if I should stop drinking them .
Speaker 2I bet you have something to do with your gut health . But like is bubbly ? Just can I buy stock and bubbly because I drink enough of it I think you probably can , or is it one of the cola ?
Speaker 3it says ingredients are not carbonated water and natural flavor , but natural flavor seems kind of broad , but I mean the only thing , the only downside it kind of says and this is , it's from mayo clinic , so it can't be that bad is that it can tend to cause you to become attracted to the opposite sex by the age of five , five to six .
Speaker 1I think you're looking at the wrong thing , my man .
Speaker 3No , and you weren't drinking bubbly when you were five or six either .
Speaker 2No , it's like literally it doesn't say anything about .
Speaker 1So you said is bubbly bad for you , or what did you look up ?
Speaker 3I said , is carbonated water bad for you ? And literally no evidence suggests that it's bad for you and literally no evidence suggests .
Speaker 2What does chat gpt have to say about it ?
Speaker 1so like yeah , so it's . It's like built those ais are built into search engines . Now , right like uh all of them like microsoft edge . I saw has one .
Speaker 2They keep trying to post it on google's fucking woke one . Show me white nazis and it won't do it uh , yeah , uh , the .
Speaker 1I haven't tried the instagram one , but I saw it .
Speaker 3There it's , it is the same as the facebook . Facebook . Facebook has one too , doesn't it ? Facebook ? And .
Speaker 2Instagram have the same AI . It's all meta . Oh , that makes sense , but it's like hey , teach me how to roll fucking croissants .
Speaker 1What Do you add ? Bucket and double them .
Speaker 3Is it always like roll and then you add the F and rolling croissants that's what he does . That's why he's so busy all the time I got no time .
Speaker 1I got some shucks and corn .
Speaker 2I've tried to think of what like no shit hold up , hold up .
Speaker 3I gotta roll a croissant here . How to change oil ? How about ?
Speaker 2that why I already know how to do that oh , I get that croissant um , you know , we have no evidence that carbonated no nothing .
Speaker 3If you google that , nothing comes up saying that I'm gonna google it myself . Actually , I'm gonna duck that , go it that's you're gonna get the real results , the real , I don't have . Duck that go I have it on my brave browser there's a eat this , not thatcom has eight side effects about it , and that's about it . What does it calm say ? What is what ?
Speaker 2examinecom that's where you go to look up uh supplements . Examinecom say what is what ? Examinecom , that's where you go to look up supplements .
Speaker 3Examinecom . Yeah , it's really good .
Speaker 2Never heard of that . If you ever want to look up a supplement and see the evidence good , bad or otherwise about it and its efficacy , that's where to go .
Speaker 3And uh , all right Is carbonated , oh , and if it's not ?
Speaker 1Is carbonated water bad for you ? Eight side effects of drinking it . Before the fizz tickles your schnoz know what you're sipping .
Speaker 2Why is it ?
Speaker 3tickling . Oh , this one says , you might gain weight .
Speaker 2Yeah , that's because you're drinking Coke , you , fat fuck .
Speaker 3But then the next point is you may lose weight .
Speaker 2Because you're drinking Bubblies . I don't know . You shredded Adonis , you Okay number one .
Speaker 3He is very shredded here's the eight things .
Speaker 1Number one you'll improve hydration . That's a dangerous sign . I think that's a good thing . I don't really know . Number two you might . I think this is a pro ad . Number two you may enjoy drinking water more .
Speaker 3No , this is sponsored by Big Bubbly . Oh , here we go .
Speaker 1Number three it may bloat your belly . Yeah , I got that one too . It makes it uncomfortable . Or give you IBS . Number three you might gain weight . How is this gaining me weight ? Okay , hang on Artificial sweeteners , but this has no sweeteners .
Speaker 3I bet the next point is you might lose weight .
Speaker 1Maybe it is . Are you okay with the same one ?
Speaker 3Eat this , not that . Yeah , you're okay with the same one . That's the only one that I can find that had negative things . It might erode your teeth . That sounds bad . Oh yeah , okay , that makes sense .
Speaker 1Carbonated water has a lower pH than regular water and pH may erode tooth enamel . It also can make you more alert . That sounds good to me and may cause health problems . This is very vague the verdict there is little evidence to suggest that drinking carbonated water poses a risk to your health . There we go .
Speaker 2How do we feel about me lipping a zin while I'm sipping on a bubbly ?
Speaker 1Can we talk about this ?
Speaker 2Yeah , we can talk about whatever you want .
Speaker 3Are you lipping zins now ? I've been lipping a few zins , okay , okay , well , how , what's a few ?
Speaker 2Like one every three days .
Speaker 1We have a friend who wants to quit .
Speaker 3Isn't he ?
Speaker 1We have a friend who wants to quit . No we have a friend that you want to quit . No incorrect . I thought he was quitting .
Speaker 2I thought he was done . Yeah , so did I . Good for him .
Speaker 1But then we have a friend who is trying to influence him in the other direction , not being a very good friend by offering it to him , and giving it to him like this , when he's like an addict who has to just be away from it for a little while . Are you calling me an enabler ? I am calling you an enabler .
Speaker 3Are you doing that ? He did it .
Speaker 2Enabling , oh , I'm enabling . He did it . You're part of the Zin dynamic and I don't like it .
Speaker 1He was like a week free , and then this guy over here , just the peddler of the Zin , comes on and you know , what Do you ?
Speaker 2Yeah , so I'm really upset . That fucking addict was mad at me because I only had two pouches left and he needs two to get high .
Speaker 1Exactly , and I only gave him one , so it didn't even do anything . He stopped , he broke his sobriety , his Zin sobriety , and it didn't even do anything for him .
Speaker 2Tony , if you're working tomorrow , I'll have some Zonics for you .
Speaker 3Don't Pretty soon there'll be one of his vending machines sitting outside , with Zonics in it .
Speaker 1That is actually a really good idea .
Speaker 3You would make a killing at the nursing home .
Speaker 1You could upsell that like crazy . Probably Huh , I don't know if it's allowed . Would it be allowed ? Probably not , because the kids can get to it .
Speaker 2Not where mine are , okay .
Speaker 3Oh my God , it's going to happen .
Speaker 2That's amazing .
Speaker 3No , they can't sell that in vending machines . No , they can't . Do you have to go ? I ?
Speaker 1don't even know where you can buy those . Do you have to ask for them ? Are they behind the counter ? I ?
Speaker 2don't know , because nicotine is not a controlled substance . You know , what I mean . Now there's tobacco .
Speaker 3Nicotine is not like a you can't get Nicorette , the coffee pouches that are just coffee . You have to go behind the counter for those . Oh , fuck what .
Speaker 2Is that because they're scared that you're going to have the habit of like lipping a pouch ?
Speaker 3Lipping a Zim while you're shucking some cubs . Sorry , sorry .
Speaker 2Tony can make his own decisions . Okay , he can , but he's like a .
Speaker 3Let's throw his name out there . That's fine , tony , we call him .
Speaker 1Tony , all I . Tony can make his own decisions . Okay , he can , but he was like , let's throw his name out there .
Speaker 3That's fine , tony , we call him Tony all the time . We didn't say , we didn't say Tony , tony's got a Zen problem . No , no , I think he has friends who have a Zen problem .
Speaker 1He and he's expressly , and we're his friends and he's expressly said that he wants to quit and you are not helping him .
Speaker 2To be fair , To To be fair . To be fair To be fair . So far I'm just kind of a Zin mooch . I probably will buy my first tin of Zin tomorrow .
Speaker 3You haven't bought a tin .
Speaker 2Oh no , I just mooch off our other friend TJ .
Speaker 1You just need to stop being me . You just need to stop .
Speaker 2Okay , but Because we wanted to talk about Zins and Bubblies , right , right .
Speaker 1Yeah Well , I don't know , did we ?
Speaker 3We're in it now . We've talked about a lot of shit today .
Speaker 1We determined carbonated water is not bad for you , so we're good .
Speaker 3We looked at the nicotine last time Unless there's sweeteners in it .
Speaker 2But here's the deal . I still don't think a Zin is bad for you .
Speaker 3We looked at that last time . Nicotine in general is not that good for you Hardening of the arteries around the walls there ? The ?
Speaker 1arteries around the walls . There are positives . There are positives in the short term . Initially you got a boost of energy and whatever Alertness , whatever the thing is . But in the long term it's not good for you , it's not good for your heart .
Speaker 3The problem I have with this is you have a very addictive personality when you get into things . You get into things that you like .
Speaker 1Remember that time .
Speaker 2Guess what ? I'm going to be triple lipping pretty soon . No , you're going to be quad lipping within a month Penta lipping .
Speaker 1Just fucking duck lips full of zit Remember the time you went to the hospital because you had too much caffeine and thought you were dying .
Speaker 3I was hoping everybody forgot about that , I remember .
Speaker 1Now we're talking about . This is the same thing Now , it's just with nicotine and it's actually probably worse for you .
Speaker 2No , I think a gram of caffeine is worse for you .
Speaker 3I don't think so , I don't know .
Speaker 2Listen , I'm not saying that Zin is good for you , but I'm not not saying that .
Speaker 1Listen , do what you want .
Speaker 2And that's the whole crux of this argument .
Speaker 1Do what you want .
Speaker 3It makes you happy , it's just like the furries , do what you want , but don't let it impact other people's lives .
Speaker 1Do what you want , but no , we're not setting up a litter box in the front engines of a hotel for you .
Speaker 2Like listen , if I start having to liquidate my property to pay for my Zin habit , it's a problem ?
Speaker 1Can I have your solar panels if you do that ?
Speaker 2Yes , okay .
Speaker 3Now you're a smoker .
Speaker 2Sure , I'm going to be real deep down the zin , the zed hole .
Speaker 3Yeah , but it's going to happen because you get the z-hole . You don't half-ass anything .
Speaker 2That's a good thing .
Speaker 3That's why we love you . I'm going to full-ass my zin you , full-ass everything .
Speaker 1I would even like that's the next thing .
Speaker 3It's quicker to get the system 100% .
Speaker 1Yeah , better absorption , a zin-pository . You should develop a zin-suppository .
Speaker 2You know what's fucked up . People would use that for sure , for sure they do .
Speaker 3I bet it's been done .
Speaker 1I guarantee it , Someone's done it . It's called the Z-shot If we thought about it . Someone's done it .
Speaker 2How fucked up is that ? If we've thought about it , I think that's true , yeah , 100 .
Speaker 3Has anyone put nicotine up their bum , and then this like vice business insider yes , yes , yes , okay , well , first off , vice .
Speaker 2I don't need like gonzo journalism watching somebody shove nicorette up their ass no I want to know if there's a purpose-made suppository these are from 2023 .
Speaker 1I don't think there's anything probably made for it , but I'm assuming everyone will do it . Yeah , young men , stuff by everyone , I mean some people .
Speaker 3Oh and foreskin .
Speaker 1Oh , my God .
Speaker 3Young men stuff niggity pouches up their bums and foreskin .
Speaker 2Why do ? Oh God , people will literally put anything anywhere . Yeah , it's got to be something that's . The most frustrating thing is there is Like what , buddy , if I could think of that , we wouldn't be sitting here , right now We'd be sitting on a jet , Maybe that is . The thing is that we think that there's things that like there's nothing else that can be thought of .
Speaker 1No , until somebody else thinks of it . I'm not saying I really think that I think there's the innovation of things that already have been done . You can do it better , maybe , jb .
Speaker 2I'm sorry , I keep calling you buddy , it's all right .
Random Conversations and Observations
Speaker 3It is kind of weird .
Speaker 1It is weird , all right , pal .
Speaker 3All right guy .
Speaker 1All right guy .
Speaker 3But you're right , I don't think anything . I don't the more I think about it . There's nothing that isn't innovation . Like you said , no one's gonna just do something innovate something , make it better or like , find like something .
Speaker 1That's a little bit of a gap , but , like I'm saying , no one someone's thought of it in the past , for sure until they haven't .
Speaker 2That's the whole thing you know what I'm loving right now , seeing how you can't even open your eyes because the sun's just blinding you . You know , that's how I'm just .
Speaker 1I keep moving clockwise blinds are expensive , but not as expensive as sonic um , yes , drew , if you saved your money from all those Zins , you could buy blinds .
Speaker 2I feel like I'm being unfairly targeted because I have one every like three or four days and I'm a one poacher .
Speaker 1No , you were targeted because you were a bad influence for somebody who wanted to quit .
Speaker 3And I love how this is recorded . And now we can go back to this in a month when you have no bottom lip and be like , hey , look at this .
Speaker 1CJ when cancer of the lip has taken over in a month .
Speaker 2Fast moving . Well , it's happening these days . Do you want to know ? A scary stat I heard today I'd love to . Something like 40% of the population has an IQ lower than 100 . Can you look that up ? What ?
Speaker 3That seems . But what is an IQ of 100 , though ?
Speaker 2well , it's not a lot but , like they're probably pentalipping zins how accurate are IQ tests ? I don't , I don't know . I haven't done one in a long time .
Speaker 1I don't know if I've ever done one . I feel like I'd be like 300 . Do we have time ? Just to do one ? Right now Is 300 a number .
Speaker 2No , oh , okay , never mind I think , if you're above 140 , you're pretty supreme , you're pretty superior , supreme 2.7% 2.7% is below 100 ?
Speaker 3I don't know there's a bunch of it says something about 130% . We have 98% of people have a score below 130 .
Speaker 2Yeah , 98 percent of people have a score below 130 .
Speaker 3Yeah , most people have an average iq between 185 and 115 , which is pretty low .
Speaker 1Is it what ? What's max ? What's max iq ? I think like 150 one .
Speaker 3I've heard one saying nothing about this .
Speaker 1Yeah , I don't know , I guess it is kind of an arbitrary number , seems like it because an iq test and the thing I don't understand about iq test is actually I don't understand anything about , I've never done one like I'm thinking about it . I'm like , so is it just like a ? Because the thing is , if you're really smart about one topic , does that make you smart or no ? Because that is it a broad range of topics and you , you see what your intelligence is on those things .
Speaker 2Does it capture your other like your eq ? What yeah , your emotional ?
Speaker 1quotient .
Speaker 3I don't think it does capture that , because I don't think it cares what you are , but like to be fair . Is there an official like here is ? Here is a iq test ?
Speaker 1I don't think so I think they're really flawed there's .
Speaker 3There's a mensa international one that takes 25 minutes .
Speaker 2That I think all three of us should do .
Speaker 1I'm down , let's do that before the next . How much does this ?
Speaker 3I bet you cost something much does it cost , I put free in front of the Google search it auto-filled because it knows me .
Speaker 2If we do it and we get answers that we don't like , do we have to share ?
Speaker 3it . No , we're sharing it all . What if you get under 100 ?
Speaker 1I'm super curious . If it's hard math problems . I'm going to struggle because I haven't done math in a long time .
Speaker 2I also think it's just not going to represent your ability to relate or interact with the world around you , oh no , it's free . Oh , we're definitely doing that , I think we should do it .
Speaker 3It's a series of puzzles , so there's 25 .
Speaker 1Oh , okay 35 puzzles .
Speaker 3You have 25 minutes to do them and they get progressively harder . I feel like men say international . Can we put the link in the show notes ?
Speaker 1Yeah , let's put some link in some show notes . Do you know how to do that ?
Speaker 3Yeah , no .
Speaker 1Check the show notes everyone . The link probably isn't there . Actually , maybe , if you're listening to this AI bot for Buzzsprout , can you put the link in the show notes . We're not using it .
Speaker 2Oh , if that works . If that works , that'd be awesome . Can you imagine ?
Speaker 1if it works , okay , that'd be an actual useful . Let's try that AI bot . If you're listening , link in the show notes for an IQ test , please . Thank you .
Speaker 2But I'm still going to write the description , okay , so don't do that . Ai bot , I love your .
Speaker 3You I love his Clint Eastwood eyes as he stares into the sun in this room where we've told you to get blinds over and over again .
Speaker 1Hey , when are we filling holes in the walls ?
Speaker 3Yeah , when I have time oh you're pretty busy .
Speaker 1Yeah , shucking corn , shucking corn , rolling croissants .
Speaker 3And Nick popping or whatever the kids call it .
Speaker 2Z-balling , z-balling .
Speaker 3Yeah , z-packing .
Speaker 2Z-ballin' , z-ballin' .
Speaker 1Z-packin' .
Speaker 2Z-ballin' Z-pushin' .
Speaker 3Risen up that zin . I got nothing .
Speaker 2We can't even get zins In Canada . It's a zonic , it's not the same , Okay sorry , we're still Z .
Speaker 1It's cool yeah .
Speaker 2Anything with a Z is cool , right ? Do you think they're like the new vapes ?
Speaker 1But I think vapes worse . Well , for sure , vapes is worse .
Speaker 2And you deserve to be made fun of much more if you're vaping .
Speaker 3Yeah , I agree with that , but I think they are Because , you do see , a lot of kids with them . Not that I drive around looking for kids with sins , but you know .
Speaker 2I told someone . I'm not proud of this . I told someone last week that they look like they're sucking on a robot cock .
Speaker 1Was it someone you know well ? No , okay , it was the wrong environment .
Speaker 3You don't have to say that Well .
Speaker 2I know I don't have to say a lot of things that have come out of my mouth . Did you say ?
Speaker 1dick or cock .
Speaker 2I think I said dick , okay , it's not as bad it sounds worse when you say that yeah , I think it was a soft d instead of a hard c yeah , let's see if you throw the c hard .
Speaker 1I don't know . It just sounds worse . It sounds like a lot more aggressive yeah , it does it's a lot more phallic . Yeah , mm-hmm . What if you said like wiener , wiener , that's like I , it's flaccid like .
Speaker 3That's what I think it's not it's not aggressive , it's not like I like yeah you picture flaccid when you hear wiener when I hear wiener , yeah , I don't picture . Yeah , yeah , what do you picture ? A hot dog . Well , in the context of what he was saying , we were talking about or like dink , how about ?
Speaker 1dink that's good , I picture a stubby hot dog .
Speaker 3Nah , maybe like a like a soft fluff not like soft fluff yeah oh yeah , you weren't around for the conversation why I wasn't , why wasn't I here ? No , he wasn't around you . Me and tony had a conversation about fluff . Are you a fluffer ? Yeah , see that , that's a , that's a job , it's an occupation .
Speaker 2I I , I can't believe it , but yes , it is , yeah , cool man ai is gonna have a fun time figuring this I have a story about .
Speaker 1Uh . So at the nursing home the other day we took the new attendants and we're trying to get them in shape . So we did a workout in the morning and four of them puked .
Speaker 2Nice , I was very happy about that .
Speaker 1actually I felt quite good .
Speaker 3After this I'm going to throw four names out there and find if I'm right .
Speaker 1So I was quite . I actually didn't even know they had puked until we were like an hour after the fact and they were talking about it . I was like yeah . I was like oh , yeah , we puked . I was like what , how was it received ?
Speaker 3Oh they , they did it , they rallied , they just puked .
Speaker 1Yeah , it was actually , I was actually quite impressed to be honest , very good . They it was , uh , it was a workout . You've done it before . We've done . We did it as a team . Uh , it's the . You do , you sprint down . You do 10 things like 10 set uh reps or something . Sprint back , sprint down , do 10 reps of two things , sprint back all the way up to 10 , so you'd end up by the end of doing 100 reps of like different when have I done that with you ?
Speaker 1wow , um , you should have , I thought we did it as a team .
Speaker 2Is that the one where you , we also ran outside briefly ?
Speaker 1No , it's similar , very similar , yeah , I mean . I like them . They're fun . Yeah , we did .
Speaker 2It was good .
Speaker 1Good , so that was fun .
Speaker 2Building grit Trying to that's good Trying to .
Speaker 3And then the next thing he did is they brought in an ice cream cake and shared it with , but to be fair . If you're going to have sugar or calories , the best time like lots of calories , the best time to do it is immediately after a workout . I don't know if it was . Was that on ?
Speaker 1your was that on your day of ice cream cake . That was the day before , Not to .
Speaker 3We had the ice cream cake the day before was the ice cream cake Not to dox you that you had a birthday , but it's okay , thank you .
Speaker 1Yes , I enjoyed the pieces , pieces you want .
Speaker 3That was the best thing ever .
Speaker 1They bought me cake , so if you're listening , thank you appreciate it .
Speaker 3That was pretty cool .
Speaker 1Some of them did listen really I know one does , a couple do yeah that's good thank you for listening . Yeah , we appreciate it .
Speaker 3There are .
Speaker 1There are only listeners , and we will have shirts coming out that you should probably buy because , uh , they'll be really good I'm pumped about the quality actually , because the the other ones that are .
Speaker 3They're super nice .
Speaker 2I agree . Yeah , our friend that was like oh , I didn't like them . I couldn't understand that .
Speaker 3Me neither they didn't like the preview of their shirts . They didn't like the material so nice .
Speaker 1I recently got another shirt from somebody who I was very appreciative of , but the material really sucks and it said something like consistency over time equals results well , that's a guild , you got a guild , you got a guild .
Speaker 2And it was a guild . That shirt is going to be in a museum one day so hang into my closet the average superior museum I don't think it's going that far have you worn that shirt ever ?
Speaker 1no , I have not why , not well , because I don't really want to sweat in it , because it's not comfortable , because it will turn turn immediately into super comfortable . It's kind of more or less like a keepsake . I like it , but'm probably not going to wear it that often , unless I cut the sleeves off and then .
Speaker 2I wear it . You know what I did ask you to send me a picture of it , and then you did , and then it was a terrible picture . Can you send me a better picture ?
Speaker 1of it so I can put it on the .
Speaker 2Instagram .

Speaker 2Your time stamping is with the time of day . I'm new to this , I'm sorry . Yeah , time of day .
Speaker 3Help at all time of daying it with no start time . So this is fun and a fucking 10 minute one previous like this is gonna make no sense so from now on , you need to be in control of the electronics also no , I like this . This is I'm doing a shitty job with it , but I like it but you're the , you're the producer , am I ?
Speaker 1well , that's what was your role when you came in .
Speaker 2Yes , that was .
Speaker 1You are the producer , but I have to admit unfortunately , uh , somebody mentioned to me that they thought you were the best part of this podcast oh , was that , uh , one of the people that you oversee right now ?
Speaker 3no oh , because I thought it was that one .
Speaker 1No , all right , they're like I can't , he's just , he just it's funny and I'm like okay , I'm like who like that , that oh yeah , I'm fine not knowing who I am , just yeah , but somebody mentioned the other one .
Speaker 3They're like , oh , you haven't put one out in a while and I was like , oh , first of all , I didn't know this person . Listen , that's cool .
Speaker 1But I'm like , yeah , remember when to hang out with friends for 30 minutes and just talk . Yeah , I agree , it was annoying , but like I also was like whatever , I mean , what are you going to do ?
Speaker 2I was more so annoyed the one before that didn't record at all . Yeah , because that was a good one .
Speaker 3Yeah , I think it was . Yeah , we came in all , we were all pretty hot , we were all pretty fired up , like I told crash , like that's a fucking awesome story .
Speaker 1Yeah yeah , now you can't ever tell again . I can't because you've already heard all we know about him he's in a lot of bar fights when he was younger , yeah , and that's what made him tough , yeah , and then he survived a plane crash . There you go well , did he ?
Speaker 3have to fight like a group of wolves with a bunch of mini alcohol bottles no wearing their abercrombie shirts I don't understand , like halt that abercrombie .
Speaker 1Like where did they go ?
Speaker 2like they were so big for a while , abercrombie , yeah with our youth no , they're just , they're just not cool anymore , like if people don't wear them uh , I don't think like this dude , I also along with the words that the kids say briz what's the good ?
Speaker 3what's the ? What's the new abercrombie ?
Speaker 1I don't know what are you doing ? He's trying to get out of the sun .
Speaker 2We'll get blinds at some point this year .
Speaker 1He's a light gingered-skinned man who needs to stay out of the sun for fear of skin cancer .
Speaker 3Do you have some gingivitis cream right now ? I think you might need it .
Speaker 2Oh , actually , this is interesting . Let's talk about this , okay , what , actually ? This is interesting . Let's talk about this , okay , what are we ?
Speaker 1talking about so first off , is this getting serious .
Speaker 2No , it's not .
Speaker 1But we just finished this thought , anyway , anyways . Okay , now go .
Speaker 2Like the words that kids say the style has gone . Abercrombie is gone , I'm sorry , it's like American Eagle . Is that still a thing ?
Speaker 3I thought we were talking about your redheadness . We're going to talk about my redheadness but I didn't want to stop me . No , I got , you , I got you , american Eagle is still around .
Speaker 2I don't know if anyone shops there .
Speaker 3Abercrombie had good cologne .
Speaker 1Yeah , they're good . I like their clothes too .
Speaker 3I don't know .
Speaker 1I don't know what the new what's the new that I have no idea Under Armour any free t-shirts when I go to Costco and I find something ? Yes , and you ?
Speaker 3buy like three of them , like these , these pair of jeans .
Speaker 1I wish I would have bought four pairs of them , because they're the only ones I wear , because they're so comfy and they fit me really well yeah , I'm proud that Kirkland is my favorite brand of clothing it is . I bought a . I bought a . I like walk . I went to Costco the next day and guess what ? Spring jacket $20 . Nautica fits well . I'm good with it , yeah .
Speaker 2Because it's all brand name . Be proud of that , I am proud of it . So here's the deal . I am a ginger , yeah , we know , really Lately , lately . I'm aware that people listening to us and me and you and you , we all just are very skeptical and always like go down rabbit holes of things and stuff . Yeah , I'm not sure I believe in sunscreen anymore .
Speaker 1Oh , I like it . I don't know if I do either . I haven't . I'll be fair what . I haven't worn it in a long time anyway , but I don't even make my kids wear it anymore .
Speaker 3I didn't know this was a thing , oh yeah .
Speaker 2There's lots of chemicals in it , like and like , so bad . And did you know ?
Speaker 3so what would someone like of like you , people who look like you do ?
Speaker 2well , I'm at a bit of a genetic disadvantage which , I will admit , may require me to mitigate that risk with some chemicals . But , um , I again . It's like saying , like climate change , like , oh , like the fucking planet has changed a bunch of temperature in the last hundred years . Well , first off , I think prior to that , we weren't really good at recording the temperature of the time prior . Yeah , the same statement can be made is like skin cancer didn't really exist 100 years ago , and is that because it people didn't use sunscreen ? Or is that because we just didn't track those things ?
Speaker 1I don't know or is it because they just acclimatize themselves to it ?
Speaker 2right , and one of the things that I have heard and have been looking into a little bit is that , uh , sunglasses are potentially correlated with , um , uh , your inability to like , adapt to sunlight , so that when you wear sun sunglasses , it prevents the sun from getting into your eyes and triggering the development of melanin in your skin . Um , because your body's not being forced to adapt , because it doesn't believe it's in this like sunny environment .
Speaker 1So I'm also not really going hard on the right , trying huberman's big about getting sun in your eye holes .
Speaker 3Totally , and I'm I did your eye holes eye holes or like immediately when you wake up .
Speaker 2Yeah , which I think is maybe a bit different , but the same . So I'm not sure I'm really .
Summer Safety and Friendly Congrats
Speaker 2Fortunately it's the start of summer , so I can kind of feel it out right now .
Speaker 1The signs sound solid to me . I'm in . Yeah , sold , sold .
Speaker 3And with the summer , with young children , that's going to be a consideration you're going to have to have .
Speaker 1No , but the key is just don't be an idiot and like let them roast in the sun .
Speaker 3Yeah .
Speaker 1Keep them covered up a little bit and you put like the given shade and and some of the like .
Speaker 2Some of the listening and I've been kind of doing is like oh you know , if it's the UV index , like you probably shouldn't be out in the fucking sun at noon .
Speaker 3Right .
Speaker 2Yeah , like , hey , from like 7 to 10.30 and from 3.30 .
Speaker 1Yeah , but what if you are , I guess is the question .
Speaker 2huh Well , cover up , wear a hat , right Like ? I think you still need to use your brain a little bit .
Speaker 1What about mosquito repellent ?
Speaker 2We put so many chemicals on our body . Yeah , so many .
Speaker 3And there are days where it's like when we're camping , mosquito repellent and then sunscreen on top of that , or vice versa , just soaking it in and you're right With the kids . It's the deet or whatever it's not good .
Speaker 1And now with all the technology . They have those little devices . You can wear that just like yeah . But again , are those bad for you . Oh really , who the hell knows ? Because , you're those . There's almost like a sonic , like a like a frequency like yeah , a frequency that like , just they don't like , so they don't come near you , and apparently some of them work very , very well really yeah , see here's , here's .
Speaker 2What I wonder is that the risk is ? Is that because you , when you become so critical like not even critical , but so questioning of everything , yeah that you start to like over question things , yeah , and then you become the like Unabomber . Right Cause , like , like , I feel , like I'm just like oh , I don't believe anything anymore , I know , I know .
Speaker 3Yeah , I don't like this . What are you reading ? The deed ? No , just the vibration . A mosquito repellent , sonic mosquito repellents , yeah no-transcript things .
Speaker 1Like you know what I mean .
Speaker 3Like I think it's probably better for you than putting chemicals which will be absorbed by your skin , into your bloodstream and cause cancer these would be like the bubblies of the hydration world , where they're bad for you because right now we're just spreading coca-cola all over our skins . Yeah , okay , fuck off , it's a coke zero first off , I like , and uh , it's the iron man on the aspartame .
Speaker 1It's not good for you . Uh , have you watched uh three body problem ? Yep , I'm not done it yet .
Speaker 2Really good , yeah , I'm liking it though I'm gonna have to read the second book . Have you read ?
Speaker 1the book . I haven't no the book . I haven't no the book is it worth it ?
Speaker 2It's worth it , but it's a tough read . Okay , maybe not , I'm going to have to read the second book now , because I read the book and then watched the show and then was like oh yeah , there's a cliffhanger .
Speaker 1Okay , I'm liking the show . Haven't read the book .
Speaker 2I also finished Shogun .
Speaker 3I haven't finished that yet One of our friends pronounced it correctly , and he is Japanese Shogun .
Speaker 2I can't pronounce it as good as him . Which friend ?
Speaker 3Not Tony , but the other .
Speaker 2The one you work with .
Speaker 3Yes , the other person we work with .
Speaker 2And he said Shogun .
Speaker 3Shogun , shogun , shogun .
Speaker 2I wish he would say that to me .
Speaker 3When he did it I was like I was in the show .
Speaker 1I was like yes , such a good show , could you get him ? Do you think he would like come and just say it to me . Yeah , I'll get him to whisper it in your ear .
Speaker 1I thought you're gonna say you'd get him coming this podcast . I'm like zero chance he would . You know that'll be the goal . He will not do it . There's no chance he would . No , but that'll be the goal . Okay , oh I , I thought of this , just all up in my head . Uh , gigantic congratulations to our friend Shannon Clark , who is now official that she has a Contender Series fight to potentially get a UFC contract . So cool , super neat , really really really cool .
Speaker 3It's a huge deal .

Speaker 1They just said Contender Series . Oh okay , it'll be fall , though I believe that's .
Speaker 2Yeah , that's cool .
Speaker 1Anyway , it just popped in my head , I don't know why .

Speaker 3feel I feel like I'm 20 still , yeah , like 42 is like .
Speaker 1Yeah , right I had a friend text me today who I haven't seen in a long time . I live in saskatchewan and his birthday's two days after mine , so he always remembers and uh , he's , I think , a year or two older than me and we were talking about that . We're like it's so weird , like perspective of time . It's like when I was 20 , in my 20s , thinking you hear like , oh , that guy's 40 .
Speaker 1Like , oh , my God , that's so old Right , yeah , and now it's like I don't feel any different and actually I feel better . In's six years old I finally settled down . It was just so tiring . Anyway , no , I feel good . You look good , thank you .
Speaker 2Yeah , you look nice .
Speaker 3Thanks , I would say you look just as good as when I met you .
Speaker 2I'd say you look better . I think I'm in better shape now . Did you see that flex he just did with his triceps ?
Speaker 3No , he didn't flex the muscles , felt us talking about them . They were like ooh , hello .
Father-Daughter Fitness and Family Dynamics
Speaker 1Lately I've been really liking bugging my 14-year-old and today she had a glue stick that she couldn't open because it was like kind of stuck . So I was like my wife tried it , she me , so I got it and I was like , hey , watch this . And I was just like flexing as hard as I could as I did it and I was like just like , yeah , look at this , I think I can get it . And I was just like flexing and doing it . Get my fucking forearm .
Speaker 1Stop doing that , just getting my my veins pumping out and she was like , oh , she started looking away . I was like I'm like I can't get it until you look at this and so finally , she looks over and she's like you're so weird . I'm like I just need you to know how your dad's in shape . I just need you to know .
Speaker 3When's it going to be the first time when your younger boy is able to beat you with something physical ? It's going to happen . It'll be a while . It's going to happen .
Speaker 2It's going to be so shitty .
Speaker 3It's going to be a while .
Speaker 2Do you remember the first time you're like I'm now stronger than my dad .
Speaker 1I remember , yeah , there was a realization at some point that was sad .
Speaker 2That makes me sad .
Speaker 3We had a ping pong table . I hope my dad never listens because he remembers this and it is not a good memory of a family . We're playing ping pong downstairs and he's being the dad just dominating right and we played and it was like a match point , whatever it is and I beat him and as the ball , I hit the ball and as the winning point ball flew over the table and was about to bounce on his side , I knew I won . I put my paddle down , I said good game and I walked away and he got so mad and I paid for it and I should for being a cocky little asshole but that was the first time I beat him at something physical .
Speaker 1I remember that uh , yeah , oh god , but I think I'm sorry , dad , if you ever listen I think it's a little different now because I think we especially like uh . Our idea of being healthy and trying to stay active is very different than our parents ideas were . Um , so I think that we will be in better shape than our parents were at their age , or with the same age , kind of thing . Uh , and also I think our kids are softer , so they might be , yes , but you gotta pick a number like 63 , I don't know like when you feel old .
Speaker 2I saw like when your kid's gonna be able to like . Well , I think , perform you at least 10 years another 10 .
Speaker 3You got 10 years , yeah , yeah uh , I , I think , uh .
Speaker 1So I found this funny instagram post the other day . It's uh this on his every day , on his kid's birthday they have a race , it looks awesome it looks hilarious and he puts on like a full speed suit , like he's just wearing a speed suit and every year he trains all year . And he's like I'm gonna train every single year so that he can never beat me on his birthday , and so then it looked like his or 14 . So they race and he beats them and he's just like the kid's pissed off , just like a sprint .
Speaker 1Yeah , like a sprint , Just like a sprint from A to B . He's like every single day on his birthday we're going to sprint and he's never going to let it beat me , that's hilarious .
Speaker 2It is good , I like it . I was like we should be doing that .
Speaker 3I like that stuff .
Speaker 1The day will come where you will lose Completely I , I so on the on the same day that we we got the four to puke . Uh , so I I kind of tweaked my hammy , like two weeks ago , and so I've been not doing sprints , so deciding not to sprint for much right now . And then this one . So it was the . It was the pairs , and so your , your pair , wanted to beat the pair . So Tony was with somebody else and I was , and the last sprint Tony finished his first . I had two squats left . I finished my squats and Tony didn't realize I was so close behind him . So he was running , but not super hard . So I was like screw this . So I sprint all the way down and in the last two bodies I pass him and I won .
Speaker 1But , I tore my hammy again . So I didn't tear it , but I tweaked it again . So my left hammy is feeling a little not so good , Do you ?
Speaker 2I've never really puked after working out .
Speaker 1Like I've dry heaved a little bit . Yeah , me too , but I've never puked Me , neither .
Speaker 2Yeah neither have I . Is that just a ? Is that a physiological thing ?
Speaker 1I think you ate a bunch of stuff and just didn't sit well . Or maybe your body if you're prone to puking , I don't know or you're just not used to that . Level of effort is another thing , right ? Yeah , oh , there you go . You got out of the sun again . Good to go . Cool , well , I gotta run , all right anyways , anyway I made some notes , so we're good , we're uh .
Speaker 3Yeah , that's great , uh , hopefully this recorded because I feel this is a good one I , I had a lot of , I had a , I had a lot of fun either way yeah , me too , just like talking to you .
