Speaker 4:Or 40, whatever.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 5:Do you think?
Speaker 1:it's they don't care? Or do you think it's like they just like they can't deal with it anymore?

Speaker 1:Yeah, and just like the filter.
Speaker 4:It's caring.
Speaker 2:They start dropping the end ball more again. Well, again Well yeah, like they'll filter it between like 40 and 65 years old, but then it comes out.
Speaker 5:Do you think an 80 year old now has dropped the end ball?

Speaker 5:I've heard, yeah, my grandpa used to Like back in the day.
Speaker 1:Oh, like when he got older, but he probably did it all the time. It probably was more acceptable. Okay, let's back that up.
Speaker 3:It probably was never acceptable. I think we talked about this last time I was here.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I think we definitely did. This is like repeat.
Speaker 1:This is our repeating Do. He was like I should listen to that episode again, so we don't talk about the exact same things, and I got a vote.
Speaker 5:I listed on the way here. I don't know. Did we talk about cold plunges? Probably Did we we're not going to today.
Speaker 3:I think you guys always talk about cold plunges?
Speaker 5:I don't know. Yes, we do.
Speaker 1:Well, let's start this out with welcome to.
Speaker 2:Are we recording?
Speaker 1:Yeah, dude.
Speaker 5:I guess we are.
Speaker 1:I hit record like that Welcome to the last episode of. This is a special episode for a couple of reasons. One it's episode number 50.
Speaker 4:That's crazy.
Speaker 1:Insane.
Speaker 3:Congratulations.
Speaker 1:Thank you, Number two it's one of our favorite guests ever has returned, and that is Ali Price.
Speaker 3:Thank you.
Speaker 5:Thank you. Thank you, that wasn't planned either, we just done. It was organic, it was really good.
Speaker 1:I checked and it was episode 30 that you were on so 20 episodes ago, which is exciting. We have some follow-up questions about the last episode.
Speaker 3:I'm ready.
Speaker 1:Okay, first of all, actually, I have a bone to pick with CJ. Pick it Okay, cj I. Uh, first of all, actually, I have a bone to pick with cj. Pick it okay, cj I. I remember, I recall the last episode you told ali you were going to be her agent oh, I did okay so my number one bone to pick is imdb still has no picture for actress ali price correct, okay, uh, that's a problem. I think. I don't think you're doing your job.
Speaker 2:I suspect this may have contributed to the decline of your film career.
Speaker 3:It's done. It's over, it's gone.
Speaker 2:I am directly responsible for the end of your career.
Speaker 3:I actually mentioned you by name in my resignation email.
Speaker 5:Yeah, who did you resign to the producers Of movies?
Speaker 2:See, typically her agent would contact the producer and say on behalf of my client screw you, we're done. In this case, she had to say on behalf of my agent, who's done nothing, I'm done.
Speaker 3:I just can't.
Speaker 1:Okay, so we're talking about an excellent show that has eight seasons. Eight seasons. Well, they're has eight seasons.
Speaker 3:Eight seasons.
Speaker 4:Well they're planning eight seasons. There will be eight. There's going to be eight. Maybe there's three or four. Now I don't think there will be.
Speaker 1:It looked like their number three was coming out in September when I looked at it today. Is that correct?
Speaker 3:I don't know. I filmed season three and then they asked me to re-film it and I went.
Speaker 1:I can't film it and I went I can't, and I failed, I don't have the time, so okay, so, uh, smartly, you can watch it. She's in the first alley's in the first two seasons.
Speaker 3:And then what happened? It just, I just, it was so time consuming and it was so hard to film by myself that's it's all in a green screen and I just like I had to record the lines leading up to mine and then film and you know, it was. Yeah, it was a lot of work, and then if something was wrong, it was wrong for every single scene that I did so I'd have to go back and reshoot all of them and was there never a?
Speaker 1:so first of all, I don't know what you were making. A cut of money you're making on that, I'm assuming nothing zero dollars yeah, perfect, zero dollars, uh, so credit to your agent kind of like
Speaker 3:this my agent really profited uh, yeah, pocketed 30 percent.
Speaker 1:Wow, right off the top because, like, was there ever a discussion about like going to the location we talked about last time? We actually going to california and doing something like in person?
Speaker 3:yeah, we, we talked about it and yeah, it just never happened and never got any money. But that's okay, like they were great to work for, I learned a lot Good, so that was good.
Speaker 5:But yeah, they're going to recast. I assume I have no idea. Oh, I want to see the person they replace you with. Your role is pivotal in the storyline, honestly.
Speaker 3:She was everywhere. She was like like seducing everybody.
Speaker 2:It was a lot yeah your replacement is going to be like six foot six blonde, blue hair baywatch just yeah, yeah, she's gonna roll in there and I did say blue hair and I didn't say blonde blue hair.
Speaker 1:I've never seen that it's like when they recast terrence howard with don cheo actually.
Speaker 2:So what they'll do if that's? If that's the case, they'll recast like a five foot five brunette.
Speaker 3:You should be their agent.
Speaker 2:I should yeah, can I?
Speaker 1:I don't think you should be anyone's agent.
Speaker 2:No, I don't. I owe nothing to this show, so I watched it All of it no, no, my parents watched season one, episode one.
Speaker 5:I watched it. That's it. I made it the full first season. What?
Speaker 2:Really, I made it five minutes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you guys are so nice.
Speaker 2:I tried. I didn't try really hard.
Speaker 5:It is shot different, though it's not what you're used to watching.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 5:That's a good way to put it.
Speaker 2:It's not what you're used to watching. It was a COVID thing that just persisted after COVID.
Speaker 5:He likes Speed as well. That's his movie that he likes.
Speaker 2:Have you seen Speed? Yes, I've seen Speed. If I was the hostage, would you shoot me?
Speaker 3:I would shoot the hostage, yeah.
Speaker 2:Every time.
Speaker 3:Every time.
Speaker 1:Even if there's a lot of separation, hang on. Doom, doom, right Hostage first, you said always. So what if there's?
Speaker 2:like a separation.
Speaker 3:I'm still shooting the hostage, but then you're not technically a hostage if you're like far away?
Speaker 1:Yeah, because I could have a gun from here to here and holding him hostage Right.
Speaker 3:He could be in the room.
Speaker 2:He could be their power away, yeah. I like that have you? How many times have you watched Speed?
Speaker 3:Probably north of 20.
Speaker 1:Really Times.
Speaker 3:Yeah. No yeah yeah, yeah, no, actually that was like my dad showed me, I remember, like the family movie, for like we watched it like once a month family movie.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I just like I watched it once. I think they were just so stoked to like not have to watch animated movies anymore.
Speaker 3:We were like speed.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you'll get to a point as a parent with that. It's like can we watch anything but disney please?
Speaker 5:I don't know how you transition from like fox and the hound to speed seamlessly.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's the same plot I, I was.
Speaker 2:I was explaining scenes from the movie to these guys last week and they're like I don't remember you would remember this non-memorable. It's so good, like when the japan, the jamaican guy and he steals his car on the freeway yeah I still remember I'm sorry, I don't remember.
Speaker 5:I didn't watch it over week he was on a trolley underneath the bus and I remember he's on the trolley underneath the bus.
Speaker 2:That's all I remember from the whole movie. And then the wheel breaks and he shoves a screwdriver into the gas tank.
Speaker 4:I don't remember that. Well, obviously so good.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 5:So that was your family movie growing up with Speed.
Speaker 1:Well, like my dad just kind of slowly started introducing us, jurassic park was a doozy like yeah, what's your thought on the new twisters?
Speaker 3:haven't seen it me neither but like, what's your thought on the remake of it? I think it's so like let's stop making remaking movies. I just want like an original, yeah, 100. Like I feel like everything's just a remake, or like a prequel, or like a sequel, like I just, is it a remake? I. I think it's just the exact same movie with different people basically.
Speaker 1:And I think there's more twisters because there's an S at the end.
Speaker 3:Twisters, two at once. So, like the last scene, there's two giant ones just coming.
Speaker 5:There was two ones in the original Remember the cow went between them.
Speaker 3:I think there were three actually in the first twister.
Speaker 2:Did they call them like sisters?
Speaker 1:Yeah, the sisters. Yeah, the sisters. I do remember that Is.
Speaker 2:Is that because there's no Like, there's a lack of originality in the people making these movies? I don't know, because you'd think they are paid Like the screen. What was it the swag?
Speaker 1:Screen Actors Guild Screen. Writers Guild. Screen Actors Guild Screen.
Speaker 2:Writers Guild. I think it's the Screen Writers.
Speaker 3:Guild. I thought it was Screen.
Speaker 5:Actors.
Speaker 3:Guild, it was SAG.
Speaker 1:There's both there because, you have to have actors, but you also have to have screenwriters. I like how they're guilds, though, instead of unions.
Speaker 3:Yeah, unions are dirty. We're in the acting world. No.
Speaker 2:Guild. Would you consider us a?
Speaker 1:guild. We can be a guild. What?
Speaker 2:is a guild.
Speaker 1:I don't know A group of people who do things together.
Speaker 5:Oh, there's the communes.
Speaker 1:Kind of like a cult Instead of call it the guild, because then people will be more willing to join.
Speaker 2:Guild really has LARPing vibes. Yeah, a hundred percent.
Speaker 1:But that's kind of what we do is LARP in life.
Speaker 5:I've never seen people LARP. Do they LARP in our city?
Speaker 3:You've never seen people LARP in our city. Oh, they LARP in our city, have you seen?
Speaker 5:LARP, they LARP. Have you LARPed foam sword?
Speaker 3:that's what you do no, no, they use like real, like they use real stuff, like they do it at henderson lake oh, that's, awesome.
Speaker 1:Oh, yes, yeah there's evenings in the summer where they're out larping I could see you with a wand and being like some sort of like elfish lady, just the tallest elf, yeah, completely huge 100, I think. I would think elves are kind of tall and they'd be like sitting there with the one. I don't know, elves are not tall are not tall.
Speaker 5:No, in Lord of the Rings they were tall. They completely looked like.
Speaker 3:Legolas. This is true, I do kind of look like Legolas.
Speaker 1:I feel like.
Speaker 5:I could pull that off. I would say that, yeah, the female elf. There's a female elf. What's her name? I can't remember Galen Galadriel. Yeah, oh, you're pulling out the anyway.
Speaker 2:What would you be If you had a LARP? Cj's going to be a. What is the thing that burns easiest in the sun?
Speaker 5:That's a good point. Your shield is to block the sun, not to block the foam swords.
Speaker 2:And, to be fair, I did see the LARPers at Canada Day LARPing hard and it was kind of cool. I want to watch them make chain mail.
Speaker 1:Have you seen?
Speaker 5:there's a video of some larpers being interviewed by police because they found a dead body?
Speaker 3:yes, and have you seen that? It's amazing. I've definitely seen it. I think it's.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's like yeah, then he tried to like.
Speaker 1:He put like revived us a sprinkle. There's sprinkles everywhere.
Speaker 2:It's hilarious it's amazing I hope those people are real because, this would be the part of the podcast where you pull up the video and we show it.
Speaker 5:To honor TV. We need an additional tripod.
Speaker 1:No, I don't know how that works. I don't know.
Speaker 5:Too technical, I'm going to order that cord right now when we're talking, so it's good. All right, by episode 100, when you come back.
Speaker 3:I was going to say I was expecting a little more for episode 50.
Speaker 2:expecting a little more for episode 50. If you guys made the big deal about, you should have been here for episode like three. Oh yeah, actually you should have been here for episode minus 10 or minus 20 when we were in a closet were there like draft episodes before you went there was a
Speaker 1:whole season, basically a whole season.
Speaker 5:Yeah, did you guys save those oh?
Speaker 2:they're on a yeah something we might release them to our fans at some point. I think you should Do a big merch of the unspoken season, or something. We don't.
Speaker 4:Bitcoin.
Speaker 2:Crypto.
Speaker 1:Super excited things. How's the comedy scene going?
Speaker 3:Guys, I quit comedy.
Speaker 1:What I was worried.
Speaker 3:When you guys asked me back, I was like I'm boring, now I don't have anything going on.
Speaker 5:This is going to be a good story. Why?
Speaker 3:I just I wasn't. She's not funny anymore, I yeah. I'm just not that funny.
Speaker 5:I don't know.
Speaker 3:Her agent couldn't get her spots. Yeah, I. They kept being like you don't have an IMDB profile pic, we can't hire you Exactly.
Speaker 2:We literally can't have you on stage.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, I just I wasn't. I wasn't liking it, so I stopped doing it Good for you and it honestly was like the best decision ever. I might go back. I don't know. I did it for nine years. Maybe we just take a hiatus and go back.
Speaker 2:But I just didn. Comedy is much like um practicing medicine where you need like extensive training and currency and licensing to do it.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, yeah. So that's, I hope I don't expire and, yeah, lose all my certifications about being funny.
Speaker 1:Um, okay, so I so. Then what are you doing with yourself? You got, you got rid of the act.
Speaker 3:Well, you got rid of the smart leaves and I wouldn't say acting but like I don't have anything going, on right, so I, yeah, I stopped doing comedy in, I think, march yeah okay, and then I yeah, I stopped doing the smartlies around february. It's just a slow decline into like now I do nothing I stopped showering. Stop brushing my 35 teeth. I just like I'm done. No, um, yeah, I just I work and then I just have been exercising a lot, like I started running nice, yeah, so now I run.

Speaker 1:for sure. I saw that you, uh did some singing gig with your dad still. I think it was like was it new year's? Does that sound right?
Speaker 3:um, I've been doing I've been doing a few, so that's all I'm doing, performing right now is just music with my dad which is, which is wholesome, yeah, and fun, um, for the most part, we do fight, sometimes on stage, which is people are like, oh, they're bantering. I'm like, no, we're gonna kill each other, um, but it's, it's good you're out of tune, shut up yeah, that has happened, that has happened.
Speaker 2:Has it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but like on the mics. And then people are like, are they doing a bit? And I don't even know sometimes because I'm like I can't hear, I don't, yeah, but no, it's super fun. So we do that. That's good, yeah.
Speaker 5:Are you going to do any plays coming?
Speaker 3:up. I don't know, wow, like I totally would, but I just don't like, I don't know.
Speaker 5:Oh, the same company that you did the last one. I think that company is no more.
Speaker 3:I'm not sure. Oh, I don't know. Okay, I'm just kind of patiently wait, cause we were starting up toxic Avenger on this time last year. We were starting rehearsals.
Speaker 5:And then the year before, that was the tree penis one you talked about yes, yes, the trainers, yes, evil Dead. That's a better way to put it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh, cool. Everyone that listened to episode 20 knows what you're talking about Episode 30.
Speaker 4:Math, I'm just a girl.
Speaker 2:We'll revisit this in episode 70. We'll probably talk about the same things.
Speaker 1:That's why I was trying to get through some of it and to figure out it works. I was like do we talk about aliens? Do we talk about Joe Biden?
Speaker 2:It is nice to have people such as yourself on, because when it's just the three of us, we just talk about the same shit every time. Yeah we do, I enjoy it. I don't know, I do too, but it's like, hey, I like fitness and like personal growth and like so stupid, so lame, who cares?
Speaker 1:Just do what you want eat all those chocolates in front of you. I've been eating too many of them already. Can you stop putting chocolates on the table?
Speaker 2:well, I don't know what you want. What would you want? What would you eat like?
Speaker 3:I don't. I literally lost sleep over what to bring you guys, like I did, and then I came up with nothing.
Speaker 2:I was like, I will bring nothing.
Speaker 3:Celery sticks, razor sharp wit is like I got. Not even that, though, like I'd say it's too hot.
Speaker 2:It's too hot. Is this? Are you like more than five podcasts deep now in your, in your resume, or is this like?
Speaker 3:number three. This is number two. This is number two.
Speaker 4:This is number two how are we the only ones?
Speaker 1:inviting you on. Hey, what about, uh, those idiots over at radical apathy?
Speaker 3:yeah, haven't, hasn't happened yet oh to be fair, I did bail on them several times okay I went through my yeah, since I've seen you guys, my life did a little 180 on me, so I I was like I can't, I'm dying, I so okay, okay, and then to be fair.
Speaker 2:And then now you're here because this podcast is important to you. Yeah, because this is where it all started yeah, this was.
Speaker 3:This was where it all started. You know what this might be where it ends, I don't know.
Speaker 1:It might be like, but like where it all started. Like what are we talking about? Like the decline of everything that she liked to do. I was happy before I came here and then now I'm running Because apparently everything that you enjoyed doing and we talked about how you were super busy with the things you like to do. You're not doing anymore, but now you're running. But, like I, think.
Speaker 4:I was too busy of a yes ma'am, like it was just it was.
Speaker 3:It was exhausting and I didn't like it you're getting any like fear, missing out those things, notice stuff no, I thought, for sure I would like I, and the first few times it was hard, but now I'm like but I could also like do nothing and feel joy. It's good in my own presence and not have to people as much and not have to tell the same joke over and over again like I don't know, I think that's what it was with.
Speaker 3:Comedy was like I was hosting so much that I wasn't getting to try anything new, and then it's always the same people, the same joke, and it's just if it's a bad night you have to keep going up when you're the host.
Speaker 1:And I would assume that, like, the people that show up to those shows are always like a lot of the same people. Yeah, yeah, so like so, if you've seen them they've seen you a million times, and it's you have to be kind of fresh, otherwise it's going to be a problem.
Speaker 3:Yeah, lot of people wanting to like build sets and work on stuff, like a lot of the comics that were very active in our scene are no longer here like one's on tour oh, okay yeah, he did just for laughs and then pieced out on us so like it's not, it's not the same interesting.
Speaker 2:That's kind of like is the comedy scene okay here, though, like, is it gonna? Is it gonna make it?
Speaker 3:well, we do have a cult club dedicated to it, which is a lot, because we didn't have that when I started, like we just had the owl or whatever how do they run that?
Speaker 5:is it like an open mic every night, or do they have headliners that come in on the open mic?
Speaker 3:every wednesday, so it's like a pro am night you should go and then, yeah, I should, guys, I'll, I'll make a return if you guys go up it'll be so fun we'll bring your agent, it's good, yeah, I'll stand off to the side you can do the photos.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I can do that, uh not well, but I can do it and then, yeah, they do, they bring headliners on every weekend.
Speaker 1:So it was awesome. You used to go to that quite a bit.
Speaker 3:I used to go a lot never when I was there, but it's fine actually as soon as I found out you went there, I stopped, yeah so now that I'm gone, I'll be going. You'll be going back next weekend. You're welcome, lethbridge comedy. Thank you, you're welcome, my patronage has been returned.
Speaker 2:Um. There's few things in life that terrify me more than the thought of getting up on stage in front of people in a comedy yeah, setting like I'm I'm very comfortable talking to groups of people in public. If I had to be funny, funny I would fucking crumble. Great talk, but talking to groups of people in public if I had to be funny, funny, I would fucking crumble.
Speaker 1:Great talk, but talking to groups of people in public with things that you are knowledgeable about totally, yes, that's the difference, right, like if you are, like, not an expert or you have very decent knowledge in the subject, it's easy to do yes. But yeah, all of a sudden it's like perform, maybe I, I, yeah nope, yeah, like I would.
Speaker 2:I wouldn't even know where to start, like, and I understand, like the process. I think I understand the process of like writing things down and then you just go try it pretty much, it seems that's how easy it is right, yeah, I didn't
Speaker 3:know I could write it down first. I just thought I had to go make it up oh no actually improvised comedy so much easier because there's no pressure of like I've prepared this for you today and then.
Speaker 5:If you hate it, then okay did they do any improv nights at that place? I? Don't think where it's like they should shout a topic out. And someone will shout something out and you have to go on riff on it I did one night when I was hosting.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because I was like I just need to try something new and the suggestion I got was starbucks yeah, and then I went up 15 minutes later and I was like what's another topic? And someone said the starbucks again and I was like this isn't, that wasn't on purpose, like you just weren't paying attention, like I did this. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2:It was a little rough yeah, I don't know if I find improv funny.
Speaker 1:I I don't well, that being said, uh, whose line is it anyway?
Speaker 2:like those guys were amazing right there, but they're like the superstar, they're like professional 100 professional funny people yeah that's true, but like but that that's like it could be, if you are good I guess, right, I just sometimes think I have like a really dumb brain, oh I, think we all do yeah, like I just can't think fast enough. Like it's like last time you're, we all do. Yeah, like I just can't think fast enough, like it's like last time you're like. You're like like, make fun of me, or something like that, yeah, you guys I literally was like I just my brain isn't computing fast enough to come
Speaker 1:up with this it's like, uh um, what's the tony henscliff? Uh, kill tony kill tony kill. Tony is my favorite. It's like those guys like they're so fast, like their ability to just come up with something immediately and just smash something down oh my God, especially Tony Hinchcliffe.
Speaker 2:Oh, he's so crazy. He's unbelievable. I watched this video of him roasting these dudes like gigantic black dudes, yeah, and the insults he was spitting out. I was like how does your brain come up with this? And he's just comfortable saying it.
Speaker 1:And that's the thing. He's not worried about saying something offensive. His whole goal is to say something offensive Totally. Yeah, those are pretty funny. Do you watch those at all? Do you watch comedy outside of like?
Speaker 3:I don't, and I never really did, because then I would just be sad that I wasn't that good. I don't know. I've listened to a few podcasts with like comedians on it just talking about like life, but I can see if you're a comedian.
Speaker 1:I don't know why we're still talking about this, cause you're not anymore, but I'm just kidding. But as a comedian, I can see like not wanting to watch a whole bunch of comedy, because it'd be hard not to like, like accidentally, take some of those and and put them into your own thing.
Speaker 4:I too, is like a female comic.
Speaker 3:It was like every like I feel like they talk about the same kind of stuff, right. So like I never wanted to like accidentally digest something another comic said and then be like, oh, that would be a great bit. And then do it and forget that I'd watched it or something like that, because you know it's lethbridge and everyone's gonna call me on that for sure yeah but I would go to comedy, like I went to see taylor tomlinson last year and, okay, like she was great great.
Speaker 5:That's when you're a big fan of her, I think you remember saying last time yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's good. I don't even know like I like female comedians, but I always like they have to work for it more. It's okay, there's none here, so it's fine, but I feel like they have to work for it more your topics or whatever like we do like we do with like cold plunging and all that kind of stuff and then if they're not as funny, I find it's probably because of that, speaking of, let's get off the misogyny, uh, speaking of with uh no, let's talk about how they
Speaker 5:were inferior.
Speaker 1:Speaking of running, have you started cold plunging yet?
Speaker 3:no, I don't have. I I did buy a pool today, okay backyard. There you go but I don't have the means to get ice. Do you have a car? Yes, I have a car, freezer.
Speaker 2:Do you have?
Speaker 3:a debit card. I'm not going to go buy ice to go cold plunge to my backyard.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying, especially after a 16K run it feels amazing to sit in a cold plunge and get your legs nice and chilled.
Speaker 2:I'm going to give you a cheat code that you can only get on the Average Superior podcast.
Speaker 4:I'm ready.
Speaker 2:Okay, so just cherish this. There's a company called NurCover. Okay, they make quality cold plunges. If you go to the website and enter your email or your phone number and then put an item in the cart and then just ghost them, they will slowly send you increasingly lucrative offers to complete that order.
Speaker 3:Excuse me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, actually.
Speaker 1:Yes, Okay, I'm going to do that, Maybe like 5% and then 10% and then 20%.
Speaker 2:And it's all like social engineering. So the last one they sent me, because I do this all the time. I want another cold plunge, but I'm not going to do it. Yet they sent me one, the other day. They're like we only have five left in stock Order. Now I was like bullshit, I can wait you out.
Speaker 3:Give me a better offer. You mean, you only have four because you gave me one for free.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, the best I've seen is 25%, if you can get to like 30%.
Speaker 3:I bet you I could, because I'm a girl, so I probably could do it.
Speaker 2:I challenge you to get to 30% If you can get your NER recover for like $80.
Speaker 1:I just want to point out because you'll never find it if you try to spell NER recover, it's actually NU recover.
Speaker 5:Really Spell NU recover. No, I think it's spelled NER recover.
Speaker 3:Allie, how would you spell new?
Speaker 2:recover.
Speaker 3:I don't spell Is it like N-U and then R-E. There you go yeah.
Speaker 2:Sure.
Speaker 3:I read it in my brain while you were saying it.
Speaker 2:I'm concerned that we are converting you to the five things.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah that we just talk about the five tenets of average superior the five tenets have you heard about the word of jujitsu no.
Speaker 2:Preach.
Speaker 3:Can you imagine me trying to do jujitsu?
Speaker 4:Look at my limbs, you would be great at it, guys, I would be so bad?
Speaker 3:I'm not coordinated.
Speaker 1:You would be good at it.
Speaker 3:I have to do this to know left or right, Like I don't think.
Speaker 2:Nobody.
Speaker 3:I don't think I can do it. Your left, are you sure?
Speaker 2:because that's like a stress stream that I have, where they're like he's on your left and I'm like looking over my right shoulder like no, he's not, where is he?
Speaker 3:like it's yeah, it's a problem um you, you have the world's longest legs.
Speaker 2:I do yes. Yeah, you could step over a fence without even these are regular size pants for everyone else uh, yeah, you, you would be presumably and anatomically you would be acceptable at jiu-jitsu okay yeah, um what else can we convert you?
Speaker 1:to. So I don't feel. I feel like you didn't sell that enough, but let's move on.
Speaker 2:I just look like we have, like we've, we've got her running. She's gonna be cold plunging soon when she gets her nerve cover. Yeah for for 80 for 80 for 80.
Speaker 3:Well, I mean, like I like, I like cold water, like I'll go hang out. I got hypothermia once. It's like there's a plaque actually at the university with my name on it cold as bitch, no I was like I was 13 and I got hypothermia because we were doing like ice water safety day at my life-saving club nice because I was in life-saving life-saving club life safe?
Speaker 3:yeah, it was. It's a sport, competitive, life-saving, um. And I sat in like the ice bucket and I use this story when I teach first aid all the time because it's like it's textbook. Like I was like shivering and then I was like really relaxed and I was like slurring my words and I started like turning gray because I'm already pretty pale like, and then they tried to pick me up out of the water but my like bathing suit straps like ripped my skin and then they were gonna just toss me into the pool that would have been okay, and they just put my foot in and my foot like blistered
Speaker 3:because it was like too hot and I was like I'm cold and then they had to rotisserie chicken me in like a cold shower for like three hours to warm me up yeah, it was beautiful and they made me like a little like is the plaque up at the university no, it's not, it's in like, but it was for a short period what did the plaque say?
Speaker 1:I don't confuse about this, it was just like longest ice water oh, okay, because I think they were like what are we gonna do?
Speaker 4:we?
Speaker 3:almost killed her like it was closest to death and no one's come even close to that. So do you have the plaque? No, it was. It was like at the uofl and then I worked there and then they moved it and I don't know where can you find out where? I'm kind of scared.
Speaker 2:They fired me and I just feel like I haven't been back since, so you haven't, you haven't saved a life since then I save lives all the time.
Speaker 3:Thank you very much. With my comedy, oh, no wait, I don't with your acting, oh wait wait, I don't bring joy to anybody.
Speaker 2:Do you save lives on the dry ground also, or just in the water?
Speaker 3:In my lifeguarding career I only saved like three people. You only had to jump in three times and they were all babies.
Speaker 1:That's good, good job saving babies. It's like noble pursuit.
Speaker 3:But, like angry moms after Like, I dove to the bottom and picked up a baby.
Speaker 4:And then you yelled at a mom for being a was.
Speaker 3:I was like watch your kid and she's like don't touch my child, that's assault. And I was like right are you serious?
Speaker 1:that didn't happen. That happened, yes, oh my god it 100 happened how?
Speaker 3:old, were you? Uh, I think I was like 17 18.
Speaker 1:That's when you should punch that lady in the face be like, okay, I'll take this baby back.
Speaker 3:I just chucked it back in the put it back. Put it back in the bottom. Go get her.
Speaker 2:Be like oh, Did you now? Did you dive in head first each time? What? It's a weird question, Is it? Yeah, Because when I picture like I'm going to save a life, like head first.
Speaker 3:Yeah, not in an indoor pool. Head first, right off the guard chair.
Speaker 2:Ooh yeah, really Okay. Yeah, you feel fucking awesome yeah it felt pretty cool.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, like I've seen like a couple of the guys I work with do it, I was like that looked sick and then I finally got to do it and I was like that felt good but like I hit the bottom real hard with my hands like it did not like, but I felt like it looked great it was the lazy river.
Speaker 1:I, I'm just, I am just. I can't believe the mother yelled at you oh yeah, every time.
Speaker 3:Never once did I get a thank you like I, yeah so what's so confusing?
Speaker 5:how many babies are falling into this?
Speaker 3:well, you know what? People leave their babies unattended in the little like floaty things and then they flip over. Well, that's on them, and then the baby's feet are up in the air and they can't right themselves, and then the lifeguard has to get in and flip it what do you do if a baby does goes upside?
Speaker 2:I just smack the thing and flips it up and then the baby's like they can hold their breath.
Speaker 3:They're very smart.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you should go throw your baby in the pool. I've seen videos of people dunking babies.
Speaker 3:I used to teach that. Is it too late for me to dunk my baby?
Speaker 2:No just do that.
Speaker 1:How old are they supposed to be? Don't go straight down, you dip it no-transcript.
Speaker 2:I just about died, but if you're like serial, killer smiling at them, you're like they're like I did it and is this like a five month old baby thing, or can we do this as we like, come up on like a year?
Speaker 4:five months? Fine, did he miss the boat? Yeah, we're past that point, did he miss the boat.
Speaker 2:It's never, it's never too, late to dunk your baby can you help me dunk my baby?
Speaker 1:yeah, sure can we do it in the in your cover after this only if we can watch speed after.
Speaker 2:Yes, only if we can watch speed 2, despite how terrible it was. Oh, not good, sandra Bullock, though.
Speaker 3:No, do you say no to Sandra Bullock?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm not a huge fan. Or that movie with her and Ryan Reynolds when they're up. She's a writer.
Speaker 3:Are you talking about the Proposal?
Speaker 2:I believe so.
Speaker 3:Do you hate it? Do you like?
Speaker 1:it. I don't remember that movie.
Speaker 3:I don't like rom-coms. That one is fine.
Speaker 1:What about the Notebook? Not a rom-com Not really a rom-com.
Speaker 2:Fucking depressing. How is that not a romantic comedy?
Speaker 5:Have you seen the Notebook?
Speaker 2:A lot of times Is A Walk to Remember, a romantic comedy too, you psychopath.
Speaker 5:That is a great show you know what's a good comedy?
Speaker 3:It depends on the point of view you have when you go into watching it.
Speaker 1:I don't know. It's like a love story.
Speaker 3:How is?
Speaker 5:it not, that's not a rom-com.
Speaker 1:No, it is not saying like Schindler's.
Speaker 5:List. I remember the notebook and all I remember is the last scene, when everyone's dead. It is like an amazing love story, but it's not a comedy.
Speaker 1:I missed the comedy part of the romantic comedy.
Speaker 5:Yeah, that's the.
Speaker 1:Okay, sorry.
Speaker 2:You know what Rom-com is. Sorry, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, my bad. What is your?
Speaker 1:favorite rom-com I can't even think of it, but all day forgetting Sir Marshall.
Speaker 3:It's a rom-com.
Speaker 5:What's the Mel Gibson one, where you can hear people talk what Women Want.
Speaker 1:Sixth Sense it's the same plot. That's Bruce Willis. It's the same. What's your?
Speaker 2:favorite rom-com.
Speaker 3:Forgetting.
Speaker 1:Sarah.
Speaker 3:Marshall's Up there. I also like 50 First Dates yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 4:Yes, it's it's good, because it's not yeah I don't like to very more yeah it's her face okay she doesn't like your face something about her.
Speaker 1:Look, uh, she was in that show ever after.
Speaker 3:It was like a cinderella show my sisters watched that so many times you got the ick and then you were like I can't't, yeah, I don't know she's.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've probably watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall upwards of 25 times.
Speaker 3:It's like a safe one. I just throw on.
Speaker 2:Oh, and every time it's funny, it's good. Every time, every single time.
Speaker 1:It's funny, but it still makes me angry that you've watched some of these movies so many times and you haven't watched like the best.
Speaker 2:Why it's like comfort food.
Speaker 1:Gladiator.
Speaker 5:Have you seen?
Speaker 1:Gladiator. No, oh, my God.
Speaker 5:What's the Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Aniston? One where they're together and they break up Wanderlust. Is that what it is?
Speaker 1:Is that it?
Speaker 3:Maybe, they're in the apartment. They break up and then, if only, we had something to Google it on, is that? The one with Paul Rud, it that's my vote.
Speaker 2:Wedding Crashers, I'd say that's up there. I don't believe.
Speaker 5:Is that a rom-com?
Speaker 2:That's just comedy.
Speaker 1:That's more just a comedy. What's the?
Speaker 3:one with. Emily Blunt and Jason Segel. Five Year Engagement, that's also. I also like that rom-com. Oh the Breakup.
Speaker 2:That's my favorite rom-com, a romantic comedy. It's a comedy that there's a romance story. I feel like that's more just a comedy. No, it's a com-rom.
Speaker 5:You could say that like old school it's comedy heavy. Like old school is a romantic comedy because there's a relationship in there.
Speaker 2:Or some people would say it's very comedy forward. Who would say that? I don't know, not me.
Speaker 1:That's how you just did. Stop talking like an agent. I want to be okay, but then do your job. Sorry, you're telling my only career do your job. Um, hey, would you want to come with uh on a 16 kilometer run with us on sunday?
Speaker 3:not even a little bit. Oh wait till I get better at running, and then I will. What's your?
Speaker 2:what's your benchmark for being better you?
Speaker 3:just have to.
Speaker 2:Can you put one foot in front of the other?
Speaker 3:yes, for 16 kilometers.
Speaker 2:Yes, then you're good to.
Speaker 3:Can you put one foot in front of the other? Yes, for 16 kilometers. Yes, then you're good to go, but you guys will just go we won't, we won't.
Speaker 2:I think I'm on the cusp of having one to two Achilles tendons rupture.
Speaker 3:You know what? Once they rupture, I will run with you.
Speaker 2:I feel you, I need to leg up, you will be fine.
Speaker 1:So yeah, how long did it take you to do? How long did it take you for 16K?
Speaker 3:Well, I did like a five kilometer warmup because I was just going to run five. I hear you, and so I did like a little run walk because I was like not feeling it when I ran 15, my pace was like 714.
Speaker 1:You're good, you're good, that's quite fast.
Speaker 3:But it was raining and perfect and I had a lot of feelings.
Speaker 2:Perfect, were you just running through your feelings.
Speaker 3:Like I just went and then there was a part of me that was like I should just do six more yeah. And I should just do like a half like on a random Thursday, Like, wouldn't that be?
Speaker 1:amazing, that would be amazing, and then I didn't. We are not fast.
Speaker 2:And our goal is not, should be slower. Yeah, we're slow.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'll go on a slow run with you. Yeah, that's all.
Speaker 2:I'll run on. If it's determined to be slow, I'm there we're talking 10 and a half minute miles.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's so slow, I don't know what that is in kilometers.
Speaker 2:Can you look that up?
Speaker 1:I can do that, I feel like our I could look at. I can't because my phone's up there, I can't remember. I think we were doing eight. Oh careful, I think we were doing like eight minute kilometers on the coulis run. We did it wasn't. It's not fast.
Speaker 3:And then we're walking the ups that I could do. Yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:Okay, good. Yeah okay, we always need more people to suffer with us. That's the spirit. It is other people than by yourself. This is true. Did that die on us again? No, I just fucked it up. Oh good, I like it when you uh play with that and mess everything up it's like a six minute kilometer though the 10 minute mile, six minute kilometer.
Speaker 3:We weren't doing 10 minute mile, we did 10 and a half that day okay I can't run a six minute kilometer well, we can go I mean, I can, but like I will die I would have rather gone slower than and I will complain the time he says the guy that was at the front the whole time. I'll pace you guys. I'm just feeling good, it'll be fine, I'll pace us. This is going to be fun.
Speaker 2:I agree I can't wait to convert you into just like boring mid-30s things. Yeah.
Speaker 3:I'm so excited. I feel like have you started counting macros yet.
Speaker 2:No, I, I won't. I won't do that. My relationship with food is great right now.
Speaker 1:We're gonna keep it that way, good don't, don't, ever are you going to a gym anywhere yes, I go to a crossfit gym framework.
Speaker 3:I go to fuel, oh my god, I know why do you tension, I know, is it like the silver medal of crossfit gyms?
Speaker 5:and no, well, yeah, I would.
Speaker 1:I would say so, yeah, I think framework better, and I have no real basis to say that. Or qualms about saying no. Well, yeah, I would say so, I think framework's better, and I have no real basis to say that.
Speaker 2:Or qualms about saying it on a recorded line.
Speaker 1:Yeah, listen, I don't know, anybody. I fuel anymore, so maybe it's really good. But I just know the people at framework and I like it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I guess CrossFit would be also one of the five tenets of yeah, yeah, I feel like that's. Yeah, yeah are you really on your way?
Speaker 3:like I'm making. I'm making moves. I feel like we're we're gonna enter my 30s very gracefully very sore.
Speaker 2:We'll get you some red light there, oh yeah, you know what, kate?
Speaker 3:I've been looking into that, so I also wow, you've aged so much.
Speaker 5:You are, you are in the I literally did a 180.
Speaker 3:I've yeah, no, it was great but do you feel good now? Yes, right, but during the transitional process it was not good I was great. But do you feel good Now? Yes, right, but during the transitional process it was not good.
Speaker 2:I don't think any of us feel good during transitional periods of our life.
Speaker 3:Like I was doing too much, like my body actually like shut down for a little bit.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I ended up having to go on like medical leave from work, like I actually was like in bed for like two months.
Speaker 2:I was like I can't even sit up. That sounds like depression.
Speaker 3:It was something. I don't know they couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. I was like am I?
Speaker 1:Am I dying.
Speaker 3:I was like is this the end?
Speaker 2:Are you getting sunlight first thing every morning?
Speaker 3:Well, now I am yes, yeah, because there's actually sun. Okay, I have a little happy light that I use in the wintertime because I sit there with my little happy light. I'm like just wait for it to work really patiently, sip my coffee, the I.
Speaker 1:So we have a red light therapy, the how one of the hallow ones, and I don't know. I mean I use it but I honestly couldn't tell you whether it does anything, like I have no tangible anything that I could say. Yeah, I feel better when I do it, so I don't know tell you I think some of those are like almost mental though where you're like I've done it, so now very much so obviously I'm great because like yeah yeah, I think that's the way a lot of things are.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like not wearing sunglasses, like I think it's good, but I don't know or I'm not gonna take some advice from you.

Speaker 3:I deserve a creamy. And then we can send you high protein creamy recipes yeah, that would be so much more exciting than a protein shake.
Speaker 1:I think, oh, they're amazing and they're filling Like 300 calories, 50 grams of protein, some fruit in there.
Speaker 2:But like it's like ice cream, like it's legit ice cream, okay.
Speaker 1:That's my snack before bed usually.
Speaker 2:Costco closes at 8. What time is it? 1953. It's too late, too late. You got seven Go.
Speaker 3:Guys, I don't have a Costco card.
Speaker 5:Oh.
Speaker 3:I need a grown up to take me Okay.
Speaker 5:That's another part of turning 30, that you get a costco card. It'll come and you talk about costco more.
Speaker 1:I don't know if I, if I was like, because you don't have any kids. So if I was not depending on kids, I don't think I go to costco.
Speaker 3:I spend way too much money there I grocery shop at costco, but I just make one of my parents take me and then I they give me my bill and it's so funny because I feel like my parents shop for like what people think I would be buying and then I buy like like the tubes of ground turkey and stuff and they're getting for loops.
Speaker 2:Yeah, are you like freezing it in like smaller containers and like yeah?
Speaker 1:I like, portion it out and of course she's not gonna freeze the giant log look at me, guys. I eat a log of turkey at a time it's one serving it takes four, doesn't ration them. You have to always have to pull that out and ration it up.
Speaker 2:But that's because when you say, if you didn't have kids, if I still shopped at Costco prior to having a child, because it's amazing. It's my favorite part of the week.
Speaker 5:Yeah, but you're still portioning it. You're not throwing the whole log in the freezer shovel, that's you could.
Speaker 2:You could saw it if it was frozen I guess you could.
Speaker 3:I guess you get like hacksaw from the garage.
Speaker 5:So what's a hacksaw? I keep it by the ninja cream, yeah I guess.
Speaker 1:Uh, I just feel like every time I go I spend way more money than I meant to yeah, you don't want.
Speaker 5:You don't walk out under two, three. I was nine hundred dollars the other day. What?
Speaker 2:we've got a lot of meat, but well, how? How much meat Enough for like the year?
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:How often do you do?
Speaker 5:Costco trips Four days.
Speaker 1:So we bought four things of chicken because it was six bucks off per pack. So I'm like let's get a lot. Who cares? They'll go in the freezer. We got like two or three giant ground beefs, but we just bought a lot of things that are going to last, like you know a month or a month or so. So it's worth it, I guess. But it's just I don't know. Is 900 a normal trip for you? No, I'd say it's like 400 or 500.
Speaker 5:Yeah, we're usually touching the fives, and then we every few weeks I'm usually like 250. How do you?
Speaker 2:I don't even know how shit every time, and it's just vegetables and meat. Hey man, do you eat?
Speaker 1:carbs. What's a carb, bro? Yeah, have you stopped eating carbs yet?
Speaker 2:Ellie.
Speaker 3:No, I love carbs. Carbs are here to stay.
Speaker 2:Have you heard of the keto diet?
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 5:And no.
Speaker 3:And absolutely not. I will not ever diet.
Speaker 2:Really, you're going to draw that line On recording? I will not ever diet. Really, you're going to draw that line On recording? I will not never, ever diet, not never ever.
Speaker 3:I will never go on a diet unless my health depends on it. Oh well, that's easy Like if a doctor was like, don't eat this, then I wouldn't eat it.
Speaker 2:I don't think I trust doctors, so you presume your doctor knows what they're talking about when it comes to diet, yeah, doctors are stupid.
Speaker 3:Me and my doctor are real close.
Speaker 5:Okay. Well, believe it or not, your health kind of depends on it now.
Speaker 3:I think I eat fine. I don't know. Are you saying she's not healthy. I'm like what? I'm just a girl, I don't know.
Speaker 2:No I, we didn't bring her here for an intervention on her diet, I feel attacked.
Speaker 3:This is not a safe space.
Speaker 2:Sorry.
Speaker 1:Do sorry. Do you trust your?
Speaker 2:doctor to give you solid your family doctor. Um, like, I take it with a grain of salt. Yes, that's a no yeah, okay, but like they know more than I do about certain things, maybe, yes, I don't know if your doctor said to you ali, I believe red meat is going to kill you and you need to stop eating it, would you?
Speaker 3:no, it would be a good death.
Speaker 1:It sounds like a delicious, delicious way to go good yeah I, I, yeah, I like my family doctor, like as a person.
Speaker 3:But but like, if they gave me like blood work, that's like, hey, your body can't process this certain thing, then I wouldn't eat that certain thing, yeah, yeah because I'm not gonna fuck around to find out that's a lot of people like to do, especially those who are lactose intolerant. They just yeah whatever I like I wonder, I wonder if it'll still hurt me today.
Speaker 1:Yeah, can you take a pill that like helps that? Yes, yeah, like a lactose breaker thingy, sure, sure, yeah, lactate I think, lactate pills.
Speaker 3:I don't know everyone at starbucks that I. When I worked at starbucks, everyone was lactose intolerant but me where?
Speaker 1:haven't you worked I have had so many jobs.
Speaker 3:It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1:Saving children serving slinging drinks.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was a barista, my first job ever. Uh, I scooped ice cream up at the park lake campground.
Speaker 1:Oh sweet, sweet, and every day, at least once a day, someone would be like, is that smell from the water? And I'd be like, yeah, yeah, don't go in, yeah it is keep your mouth closed.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I, I appreciate the park lake ice cream spot. I really I have not returned since I stopped working there, but I do like I think I also ate too much, because I would just eat free ice cream all day, like I would.
Speaker 1:We would just yeah, yeah well, we take our kids we haven gone out this year, but like we usually would take them out and yeah, I don't go in the water.
Speaker 4:They do.
Speaker 2:And that's a bold move Okay.
Speaker 1:I still. I still understand, have fun, but the it's definitely needed that, because there was a couple of years where it wasn't open. It was just yeah.
Speaker 2:Annoying um. Has anybody else here been a barista? No, no you're kind of like man not really, what is not really, I don't know.
Speaker 5:A short stint at tim hortons doesn't really that's, yes, there's no no, does not really count.
Speaker 2:No, absolutely not. There is no barista. Were you making the?
Speaker 3:bagels well, I think baristas make well you know, what makes me so mad is when people go to tim hortons. They're like I have a complicated drink yeah, and it's like it's a double double and I'm like that's not complicated, it's a button, it's two buttons I think, like four times, like twice in each, though, I think you've offended people that have as a fellow barista.
Speaker 2:Okay, where'd you work? Well, so I worked at second cup yeah, that's, that's a barista except they. I don't know if they do this at starbucks, but a second cup they kind of like it's a graduated approach. So, like day like month one I was on the milkshakes, the cold drinks wasn't allowed to touch the espresso, the expresso machine, expresso so what is the top step of the second cup?
Speaker 5:well, you can touch the espresso machine you get to drink it except.
Speaker 2:so here's the thing, I guess I'm using the term. I've been a barista lately because I got to make the drip coffee and occasionally I got to like cover. How old were you when this was happening? I was 18. Okay, it was the worst job ever, because I hated everything about everyone and everywhere that I was there with it.
Speaker 1:Anyways, wow, how long were you there for?
Speaker 2:Two months with it anyways, wow how long? Were you there for two months so at the end never got past the book. At the end of like month one, she's like are you ready to become a barista? But and I was like, yeah, I've been waiting for you to ask me and she's like okay, I'm gonna send you a link to the like second cup online training program nice and so I go home and I log in and it's like fucking 20 modules with like hours and hours and I was like, no, no yeah, we did that, that's.
Speaker 3:Yeah, there was a lot online and you did it. Hey, yeah, I did but you know what I? So I was a crisis support worker before I worked at starbucks, so the starbucks training was actually just kind of fun I was like this is actually. But then people were like harder to deal with than like on, like the distress line that like when they haven't had their coffee yet it was great.
Speaker 2:Or, if you like, screw up their order.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, yeah, but like I would like, like I would, I would get justice for myself.
Speaker 5:You'd write their name wrong on the cup or something.
Speaker 3:No, Like one time. This woman was so mean to me and she ordered like I hope she doesn't hear this.
Speaker 2:She probably will. You're safe. You're safe. Our podcast has a pretty wide range. Be careful what you say.
Speaker 3:But she, yeah, she ordered. She ordered like a non-fat or no, she ordered like an oat milk latte with no foam, extra hot, and you put foam Regular milk Regular milk. She well, she ordered it. And like espresso works, as you know from your barista training as an experienced barista, once you scoop the foam off because of all of like, the like, the nitrous and all that stuff in the espresso, it like bubbles up so you get a layer of foam after a short period of time. That's science wow science.
Speaker 2:I know you're a scientist as well, you're welcome.
Speaker 3:She is wearing a lab coat, it's true I'm very smart, um, but so she ordered it online, like on online order, and then sat for 15 minutes so there was no foam when I put the lid on it. But then science happened and then there was foam science yes, and she came in and she was like what the fuck is this?
Speaker 3:and I got all mad and, like she made a 16 year old barista cry and I was like, okay, I'll remake your drink, and I tried to explain the foam to her eloquently 16 year old barista, no. And I was like, okay, I'll remake your drink, and I tried to explain the foam to her Eloquently, were you the 16 year old? Barista. No, I was just, I was 18. No.
Speaker 4:I worked there in my twenties. Who am I kidding In?
Speaker 3:my brain. No, I was 25, working at Starbucks and my shift supervisor was 18. Oh, my. God, yeah. Yeah, it was not a good time, it was a dark time for me, but no, I made her her drink. I was like I'll make it for you again, so I gave her a decaf extra hot, no foam latte, but I used like whole milk.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:So like I handed it to her and in my brain I was like I hope you get tired and shit your pants, and it felt so good.
Speaker 1:That's awesome, it was great and I did that to a few people Like, if you were rude to me like you definitely never got what you ordered. Did you ever watch the show Waiting the movie? No, but I've seen the clip where like the Ryan Reynolds and the things they do to their food. You hated that.
Speaker 2:I hate movies. Where was it like Super Troopers or whatever, where people fuck with food?
Speaker 1:Super Troopers is amazing.
Speaker 2:Well, they wouldn't say that they screw with the food and super troopers, don't they? Yeah, farva's burger. Yeah, yeah, hold the spit on that cobb's burger, because I also have to wonder how many times.
Speaker 1:A lot, well, I hope a lot I don't know, you cannot think about it. You, if you go eat out, you just have to accept this is going to be food, it's going to be good no, I'm screwing with it and eat it and hope that that's true and it just strengthens your immune system whatever, and be nice to the servers whatever it's, yeah, yeah, don't make them cry and don't send it back ever, like I honestly there's, I'm too scared to send.
Speaker 3:I would never send it back.
Speaker 1:No, I'll just eat it if it's like okay, I guess I'm eating it like this really like, even if there's glass in my food, I'm like I'll take.
Speaker 3:I'll take a gift card, but don't make it again. What if there was?
Speaker 2:something alive in your food. Would you send it back Like a fly, more like a worm-shaped?
Speaker 1:object Um what's your? Line. At what point are you like? Hey, well, I'm not saying that I think you'd be like there's a problem, but I wouldn't be like this is not what I order.
Speaker 3:I'd be like. This is really embarrassing for me. I don't know how this got here. I didn't put it there. What?
Speaker 5:about you start small like what about a hair? Get some hair in your food is it a curly hair?
Speaker 1:yeah, what's the?
Speaker 3:like what's the genre of hair, what's the length, pull it out.
Speaker 5:It's a red, curly ginger hair.
Speaker 1:How curly, like coarse, oh Like, where did the hair come from? That's my point.
Speaker 3:Like is it an eyelash? Is it not an eyelash Is?
Speaker 2:it a pube. Do you draw a?
Speaker 5:distinction between if there is an eyelash in there versus if there's, like a hair head.
Speaker 3:Well, I think I just want to know where it came from on the person's body.
Speaker 2:Yes, okay, like a ginger pube is universally recognizable in your food.
Speaker 5:I wasn't going for a pube, I just meant the hair that wasn't all yours. It is the original red flag. Actually, one might think. I've sent back hair in the food.
Speaker 3:Have you yeah.
Speaker 2:I just peel it out.
Speaker 3:Do you say it like charming?
Speaker 5:You're like well, it's would from me, or?
Speaker 1:like, how do you like, do you make a joke to try to soften 100? And I, that's my go-to I I just don't trust it. I don't trust any setting anything back. I think that's when food is gonna get screwed with I.
Speaker 2:I think if you went to higher class restaurants I think you probably can get away with. I agree, right, like if you're going to like applebee's and you're like hey yeah, yeah, especially if you're snapping.
Speaker 5:You're snapping, someone's gonna take a dump in your food I was a cook at the onion in town here and I've seen seen them do some stuff, so I think you're right about that.
Speaker 3:Chilies no, I've eaten at the onion one time yeah and the time that I did, I was teaching first aid. Someone went and brought it for me and I had it open on my desk and a spider crawled out of the wrap.
Speaker 1:Oh my god yeah, that's disgusting it was terrible do you see that woman that got arrested, uh, for doing horrible things to people's hot dogs? No, there's a video of her with surveillance. I think when they found out, uh, in the kitchen taking hot dogs.
Speaker 2:Oh yes, Like a fast food Putting a special sauce on it and then putting it back on Fast food chain or something like that. No it was like a I don't know. It was a restaurant. She was touching it to her parts.
Speaker 1:She was sticking it in her parts.
Speaker 3:I'm so upset right now, nope.
Speaker 1:It was gross.
Speaker 3:There's a Getting one foot up on her leg Like random people or like people that she knew, I don't know. Like was she serving some justice? Or like just serving crazy.
Speaker 1:I have no idea.
Speaker 5:It's her version of the cold phone story.
Speaker 1:I have no idea, but there's like a video of it and obviously she got fired. I think she got sued, oh my God yeah.
Speaker 2:Wow. So my point is just don't send food back. But like I've been to the keg, I went to the keg and had a steak.
Speaker 3:That was kind of like high class, I like it Sick flex, it's fine, yeah, I eat a keg once a year, get out of here and then I go sit in my coal, plunge and digest my red meat. And it was terrible. The steak was terrible.
Speaker 2:Oh, really I love the keg. Hey, sir, can we talk about?
Speaker 1:this Can I follow you back to the kitchen where you'll remake my steak? And they were really good about it. He's like, oh yeah, absolutely Boom, sure, but they're always going to be good. That's my point. They're always going to be good about it to your face.
Speaker 3:Because they know that you're getting spit on that.
Speaker 2:If I was the owner of the keg, I would tell my staff. If anybody complains, you fucking return it. I probably wouldn't say the F word. I'm trying to say it less. Don't backpedal, it's fine, you will take it back and make them new stuff and not charge them for it regardless. And don't mess with their food. Do not screw with their food. Yeah, I don't know who cares, it's customer service. That's why, like when, businesses are so chintzy with returning things.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:If I ran a business, I would just take it back. Hey, this doesn't. It'd be like Costco. Hey, this doesn't work. Okay, because like one out of 20 people, great, no problem, because the other 19,. You're still good to go.
Speaker 1:But you're always going to, I agree. But I think with a smaller business, if shop kind of thing, if you you don't have some sort of policies, people are gonna take advantage of that I don't know.
Speaker 3:I mean people take advantage of costco yeah, but people take advantage of anything, that's true but I think it matters more when you're not doing the volume of business costco's doing like costco can afford it yeah yeah, I felt like a piece of shit.
Speaker 2:I brought a jug of milk back to costco you did it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and some dishwasher what they say, that's fine.
Speaker 2:I wonder if they have like a policy not to say anything. The jug was like less than half full.
Speaker 4:That's amazing.
Speaker 2:And I was like hey, like this says it expires on the 9th.
Speaker 3:today Is today, the 9th. Today is the yes, 9th, 9th, yeah, so it was like oh sour. I left it out in the sun for a week, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I didn't refrigerate it I couldn't figure out why my coffee tasted like shit for two days, my latte, and the third day I was like what is wrong?
Speaker 3:you're like well, I have the barista training, so it's obviously not me. Yeah, like I'm not.
Speaker 2:I'm not the problem, it's the milk and like I, beside my, in my, in my place where I have bougie water, I have like a pretty good espresso machine. No big deal. Okay, what's your point? My point is is I felt like a piece of shit and I also took the dishwasher tab and what did?
Speaker 1:what did the guy, the guy like, why?
Speaker 2:okay, sorry dishwasher tabs, dishes, smell weird. I didn't like it. Are you sure it wasn't just the milk, like where you're smelling the milk glasses? Um, and they just like yeah, cool, thanks here. Okay, here's your money. Didn't bat an eye, that didn't, but I, my boss, told me a story once he had a traeger that was like he bought two years ago from costco and it stopped working and he like wheeled this fucking oily greasy trailer into car.
Speaker 1:It was like, hey, this doesn't work anymore, though okay I've used it consistently every single day for two years and now it doesn't work. What is going on? That's hilarious. Yeah, yeah, that's what these people say, like when you buy tvs. Go to costco, just get it there, because if it craps out in a year or two, they'll take it right back which is my roundabout way of saying you can get a creamy at costco, all right there you go I deserve it.
Speaker 3:You deserve it, yeah, deserve it treat yourself guys, I'm learning so much you're welcome.
Speaker 2:Wow, we're so honored to have you.
Speaker 3:This is the glow up. I've been waiting for, yes, this, this is really gonna set you on the path um.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry that other podcasts no notable podcasts. Uh, couldn't get you on in time yeah it will happen really rude again. There's something else I want to talk about tonight. What was that? Aliens okay, did we talk about aliens last night? We did Fuck.
Speaker 4:I think for quite a while.
Speaker 1:That's why I was trying to get to it to see if we did. I don't remember everything.
Speaker 3:It was kind of a blur, but I do remember talking about aliens.
Speaker 2:This might have been when you brought up this stupid thing about if somebody pulled you suitcase of money or suitcase and true, and actually, oddly enough, I recently met the fellow that built your props for the last play nice guy and he's like, hey, send me a link to your podcast. And I was like, oh, I'm gonna send him that one with tanner nice, yeah. So yeah, he's also now been privy to the alien dilemma, as I like to call it. What was your answer?
Speaker 1:do you remember your answer was to it I don't uh, has there been any alien news that you'd like to share? Is this why you're excited about this? I just can't stop thinking okay, have you? Have you found anything new?
Speaker 2:has there been any anybody else with some riveting information that they can't quite share because it's classified, uh, no because every time I go on twitter it's just a cesspool of politics that I immediately have to back out of uh speaking of twitter, I went and found uh ally price on twitter and I noticed that there has been nothing since 2022.
Speaker 3:Okay, but did you see my latest tweet? Because I was like I'm back on my twitter, bullshit.
Speaker 2:And then nothing after that was like 2022, like I lied yeah, exactly I'm back, bitches I was like buckle up.
Speaker 1:I literally think it was two years ago, it was june of 2022, you know I was looking at my twitter a couple of days ago. I was like I should get back on that. You should, and I think I had some good ones. I don't know, I didn't dig into it.
Speaker 3:I was just kind of checking. You didn't even prepare for it.
Speaker 1:No, I literally was not driving here when I was looking at it Right. Safety Not.
Speaker 3:I said not.
Speaker 2:What does your show you like?
Speaker 3:I don't really scroll twitter really ever I mostly.
Speaker 2:What about instagram?
Speaker 3:healthy actually yeah, I actually. So one of my new like things that I'm doing is I I put timers on all my social media nice so that now I don't get more than 30 minutes a day across, like tiktok and instagram how'd that work, jason?
Speaker 5:it's working good. Okay, is that what you do? My wife did it to mine I get 30. I get my 30 minutes of tiktok and I'm good marriage sounds fun, but do you press the?
Speaker 2:do you press the button? Be like, give me 15 more minutes no, there's.
Speaker 5:There's a mental block there. I can't do it.
Speaker 3:I fear she'll find out she gets a notification every time you do it you've got the parental lock he's outside in the garage with his creamy like 15 more she's like it's ready do you, uh, are you it's got instagram much is?
Speaker 1:are you Instagram much? Is that what your main one?
Speaker 3:is I usually just Instagram and TikTok.
Speaker 1:So if you would go to your search tab on the Instagram, like, what kind of videos are popping up?
Speaker 3:Right now it's just a bunch of like House of Dragons stuff. Oh okay, oh, what I love House of Dragons, that's so good.
Speaker 1:You, Game of Thrones, you were.
Speaker 5:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we told you you have to watch Game of Thrones.
Speaker 5:It's really good you haven't watched Game of Thrones.
Speaker 1:No, he's an idiot.
Speaker 3:I've watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall like 20 times, but I haven't watched a single episode of Game of Thrones.
Speaker 1:Or Braveheart.
Speaker 2:Or Braveheart, or Gladiator.
Speaker 1:There's a new Gladiator coming out with. It looks good.
Speaker 5:Who's in it? The guy from Mandalorian.
Speaker 1:What's his name? No, there's the um.
Speaker 3:Pedro Pascal yes.
Speaker 1:But there's also another big actor in it, oh, denzel Washington.
Speaker 2:Really yeah, I have been watching Dark Matter, uh, so good yeah. Blows my mind, I haven't seen it, oh, okay, but I'm on episode nine, so I think it's the not sure, and actually is it the one right after where, uh, the main character's wife comes to the realization as to what's happening. Uh, yeah, I think so. Okay, I'm gonna watch that tonight as soon as you leave is this like a fictional?
Speaker 3:like what is this?
Speaker 1:it's on apple tv it's real life I've never heard of it it's really good it's on apple tv, essentially the can I get it on, not apple tv. No, yes, okay, yes illegally.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, if you have like uh whatever those things are, called the thing, those things that you can get shows not by by not paying for them. Uh, it's basically the idea of like multi, the multiverse superposition. Essentially that, like at any point in your life, if you had made a different choice that you splits from the current you, and that you that made a different choice in that moment becomes essentially a whole different version of you.
Speaker 3:Oh, so it's just like every stress dream I've ever had, kind of Okay.
Speaker 1:So then it's super interesting because then they basically develop this one guy, develops one version of him, develops a way to kind of get to those different realities. It's super neat, it's really really good. So like in, it's like yeah, so like something pivotal in your life. If I had chosen this instead of this, like in his case it was like if I chose work versus, uh, my, my girlfriend and the fact she's pregnant, if he's like no, I can't do it, I won't work, and so it's.
Speaker 2:It's a really, really interesting show I wonder what the magnitude of decision you have to make in this hypothetical world to influence a decision, because I chose to wear this really awful colored.
Speaker 1:It kind of matches your skin. It does not work good with my skin. It almost looks like you're not wearing a shirt. I am naked, okay.
Speaker 3:That was my request for episode 50.
Speaker 2:Tarps off 50 tarps off tarps off boys, yeah, um 6.6 body fat no big deal.
Speaker 1:Shut up 6.6. I hate you um anyways no sugar.
Speaker 2:I might have to get on this. No sugar kick wonderful anyways, anyway there's no any who. I'm curious what the magnitude of decision you'd have to make like does. If I choose a shirt, it's not going to influence anything, whereas if I'm choosing to like.
Speaker 3:I think it would have to be something that could be like If you chose a different shirt, the last 30 seconds wouldn't have happened.
Speaker 5:Yeah, good point.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 5:God. So you branched off. Now she just blew our minds, which?
Speaker 2:means this podcast may end at a different point in time.
Speaker 3:Which means we drive, but it's not my fault for not being interesting.
Speaker 1:It's oh damn, which means we drive home at a different time and then that semi misses you or hits you, depending upon what time you drove home.
Speaker 2:I wasn't ready for this.
Speaker 1:This was crazy. It could literally be anything, anything small, but obviously the major ones would be like okay, you choose to go to university or you don't. You choose to quit comedy or not, you choose to do that smartly or you didn't. Whatever right, there's all those major things that potentially would change.
Speaker 2:According to the conversation we just had, the major decisions are just as impactful as the minor decisions. They very well could be right.
Speaker 1:Yikes, they're very well, because I guess it's the simple things, that it's the simple things like the idea, literally the idea of when do we end this podcast and when does that mean we're driving home? Because that means we either find that collision happens or doesn't happen, or, uh, you get, there's a million things ifs you could think about right yeah hopefully you have your tourniquet in your car.
Speaker 3:I do, yeah you remember earlier, when you asked me if I had fomo now, yeah, a little bit right, I changed my mind.
Speaker 5:That's what happens to you when you hang out with them.
Speaker 3:I, yeah, I do now yeah we've made it worse.
Speaker 2:Now it's now. It's worse. Do you have your tourniquet in your car?
Speaker 1:no you don't have a ifac no you are a lifesaver, though how are you gonna save a?
Speaker 3:life my, my first aid kit that I have in my car is so questionable, like if I were to get pulled over and someone were to look in it they'd be like what?
Speaker 5:is this roll of duct tape? There's, yeah, there's duct tape, there's some cds.
Speaker 3:Okay, there's just a bunch of maxi pads and adult diapers, because gauze is so expensive right, you can shove those pads in all day, yeah they're great.
Speaker 1:They're individually wrapped I just think everyone should own, like at least a dozen of them.
Speaker 2:Sure, have them on your person at all times and like I have a bag in case what you're in an emotional crisis no like if my car goes over a cliff or something right and I need to like get a reflective signal going cd okay, is this legitimately why they're in there?
Speaker 3:if you have a stick in your leg right, cd what? And then I just have to secure the cd to your skin and it's not going to move.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're saying so the stick goes through the hole. Yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 2:I can't tell if you're screwing with me right now, I'm not screwing with you.
Speaker 5:The stick has to be this big.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly, it has to be very specific circumference. Yeah.
Speaker 5:But if that does happen, you're prepared.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but but what, what? What when you put the CD over the stick? What is the next step here?
Speaker 5:Secure the CD Duct tape Duct tape it, so the stick doesn't move.
Speaker 3:So the stick doesn't move. Yeah, you secure the base of the stick with the CD, Because we don't know what the if you're impaled by something.
Speaker 5:I'm pulling that shit out.
Speaker 4:Don't pull that out bro.
Speaker 3:No, don't pull that out. What it could be. Plugging an artery you could.
Speaker 2:You could essentially I'm gonna find out. I have a tourniquet in my vehicle so I can deal with that.
Speaker 4:He's gonna shove that finger in and block that artery, and then digital pressure, you know I have a little.
Speaker 3:I have those little paper clips too, where they like the clouds, in case you gotta stick them in there you have some random things I like, I got a bag of baking soda in there but like do you have a knife?
Speaker 1:yeah, okay, good, uh do you?
Speaker 3:is it sharp not?
Speaker 1:Could you do a tracheotomy if you had to?
Speaker 3:I would absolutely not do that why not Because I do not have the training.
Speaker 1:Okay, but you've seen it done right.
Speaker 3:It would be like the heat. I'd be like why is there blood coming out instead of air? It would be not good. Okay, I don't want to add murder to my list of jobs.
Speaker 1:I like I don't, no matter how pure my intentions might be, I don't know. I feel like. I feel like you have, you have so much random things in there, but I'm liking the reasoning and I think I might need to get some of them so much cheaper than like buying, like the actual first aid where's this first aid kit in your car?
Speaker 3:well, it's out of my car right now because I have a dog stroller in there oh wow, whoa, how big is your dog stroller my. My dog had a spinal injury, so he can't walk very far we were both on bed rest at the same time. It was actually quite cute and wholesome.
Speaker 5:Okay, um, he's fine now good, that's but the stroller takes up so much space they look just like you should get a minivan, really, and anyone with strollers should get a mini once I turn 30.
Speaker 3:Okay, I will. I'll get a cold punch and a minivan.
Speaker 2:So sorry. Is your first aid kit so big that you had to remove it to fit the stroller in there?
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's just a duffel bag. It's like an old gym bag.
Speaker 1:How big of a duffel bag?
Speaker 3:Well, I got a blanket in there. Hypothermia is important A pair of boots.
Speaker 4:I just want to be prepared in case.
Speaker 1:Is this just like stuff for In case there's so much blood?
Speaker 5:It's like a go bag, like an emergency for any it seems like you emptied a junk drawer into this bag and just put it in your vehicle like, hey, I got this.
Speaker 3:Okay, but like I put boots in there after because we had someone, someone had a rollover, collision or whatever on our way home from a rehearsal one night and I was in slippers because I was going to and from rehearsal and I had to, like, climb down this hill in the snow and I was like man, if I had boots in my car I would handle this emergency so much better and I would be way less bitchy about it.
Speaker 2:I like it Were you wearing socks.
Speaker 4:No.
Speaker 2:Have you ever put?
Speaker 3:well, I'm sure you have put boots on like socks and boots okay, like a blanket, because there's nothing more infuriating than putting boots on without socks.
Speaker 1:She's not an idiot, she's not gonna put boots, come on um, come on, do I look like someone? You have some random things but I'm liking.
Speaker 3:The justification is your duffel bag labeled no, okay, it's an old gym bag what you fit for less.
Speaker 5:You think it needs to be labeled, so somebody pulling up, can't tell you know what I'll put like a giant put like a like a red cross on it I'll put first day, but I'll put it in quotes.
Speaker 3:Can you imagine?
Speaker 2:the person first aid, second aid. She's in a rollover.
Speaker 5:Can you imagine the person rolling up and opening that bag up and just seeing cds?
Speaker 2:baking soda, everywhere there's paper clips, especially like what kind of cds it Like Mariah Carey or something like that Shell Crow.
Speaker 3:They didn't make it.
Speaker 1:They didn't make it to the collection I threw all my CDs out and I want one Anyway, yeah.
Speaker 3:What are you going to do if you have a stick and peel your leg now?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Do you have a tourniquet in your car?
Speaker 1:I do. Yeah, I have a kit. Yeah, yeah, but it's definitely not as much as as she has. Like, I have like the basic crap, like a tourniquet, some scissors, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I got a knife, but it's always on me, you know, be prepared every day.
Speaker 2:Do you have your knife on every day? No, why not? What happens if you need it right?
Speaker 3:I don't have pockets really like these yeah but, it could go on your waist if you go on your waistband I don't feel like I look like the kind of person that could pull off carrying a knife.
Speaker 1:You wouldn't even notice it. You have one, small enough that it just clips into your waistband.
Speaker 3:Allie, how'd you cut yourself? Oh well, you see.
Speaker 1:It's not a fixed blade knife.
Speaker 2:Montana Knife Company makes some really good inner waistbands. Concealed carry knives.
Speaker 3:You're just selling everything.
Speaker 1:You should have a knife.
Speaker 3:You should also have a flashlight yeah right, there was an a in there, okay what, what?
Speaker 4:do you have a flashlight. A flashlight, yes, thank you. Oh, and why'd you look at me right after?
Speaker 3:I don't know it's okay, I quit comedy.
Speaker 1:Sorry, we're just not quick enough for you.
Speaker 4:We, we're like what she's like these idiots.
Speaker 5:Radicalapathy would have got that, yeah, immediately. They would have made the joke.
Speaker 1:We should do a knife giveaway and she could apply. Ellie could put in for that.
Speaker 2:Until we're done the current giveaway.
Speaker 3:we're doing that's my treat for running 16K with you guys.
Speaker 2:Okay, is it?
Speaker 1:a knife giveaway. Congratulations. I carry a knife on my run in case a cougar attacks me.
Speaker 3:But you have to say knife job at the end, nice.
Speaker 2:What would your game plan be if a cougar was to approach you During your run?
Speaker 3:Like the four-legged kind Either or we can take this. Whatever direction you want Is this one of those ones where it's like depending on the choice that I make, depending on what choice you make? I don't know I run so fast. The cougar would be like nah, she's gone, Not worth it, Just not worth it yeah, understandable. No, I don't know. I feel like that way with sharks or bears. If that's how I die, then that's how I'm going to die.
Speaker 2:Oh heck no.
Speaker 1:So you essentially would just lay on the ground and show the neck. I'd be like you, just just do it and they bite me right, you know we would probably have like a connection.
Speaker 3:They'd be like man, she's been through it, we're gonna let her go just today and then if I see you again, I like walk away and that cook is like she looks like she's gonna go get a tattoo about this, like it's yeah yeah, that'd be a good tattoo.
Speaker 2:It's so funny you say that because I know a girl that did that did she?
Speaker 1:she got attacked by something. They got a tattoo.
Speaker 2:They had a bear encounter and then now she has a tattoo and she's like I mean, cool, I have not experienced.
Speaker 3:Like if I got bit by a shark you'd get that I would get the rest of the shark around the teeth marks that's cool because like wouldn't that be, wouldn't that be cool.
Speaker 1:What if that limb is gone? Would it go on the other limb?
Speaker 3:or she just gets her prosthetic like no, there's like a little clip on shark yeah, it's like a little stuffed animal. It just I feel like it comes on and off, like it's okay, it's detachable, I think most shark attacks is gonna end up in like a limb removal like no, let's say, you don't die yeah but I say, if you're gonna get bit bit, I think something's disappearing. Well, I don't know. Yeah, your desire to be in the water, maybe 100%.
Speaker 1:That's already gone for me, jaws.
Speaker 2:So here's my question If I had to choose, if you had to choose, if any of you had to choose a shark, cougar or grizzly bear, Not grizzly bear, they just maul you and play with you.
Speaker 1:They break your neck and actually not cougar. I've watched my cat just mess around with mice and gophers and then eat them.
Speaker 3:I would choose a shark. I think I'm with you I would choose a shark for sure what the hell is wrong with both of you.
Speaker 5:I don't think you're fighting the shark in the water.
Speaker 3:You're not fighting any of those I am in she is a life.
Speaker 5:Yes, she's flipped a lot of babies in the water she has her bronze cross yes, used to teach bronze across that bronze.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, I, I would choose shark, for sure, but I'm scared of fish.
Speaker 2:So like I'm terrified of fish, but like, not sharks, like if I was in the water and there was a bunch of little tiny fish I would freak out, but like if there was just one, or like several large sharks have you seen the video of the guy being eaten by the shark in the red sea last year?
Speaker 1:no okay, it might change your mind okay, but so can you look up, do sharks play with their food?
Speaker 3:because that's the problem I have, like orcas do yeah, they do for sure and like leopard seals are like yeah, but like cougars 100 what did their cat?
Speaker 1:they just get after it 100, so your, your chances are hopefully and they normally come from like below.
Speaker 3:So you don't even see it coming and it just feels like a big, and you know what? It's a big enough bite that all your nerve endings are going to be severed.
Speaker 1:I don't think you'd feel it at all initially.
Speaker 3:And then you just have to swim away. Well, I don't know if you swim, you have to swim, and you're leaking.
Speaker 2:You have a gigantic extremity bleed.
Speaker 5:You have to just have Sharks bite off a piece first to get the taste to see if they like it, and then they come back and eat the whole thing, so I would be offended if they didn't come back for seconds. I think that would hurt more. Did it never leave you?
Speaker 3:That would hurt more.
Speaker 5:You're swimming after it. I'm not that bad.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm with the shark all day. I'm scared of sharks, I hate them, but at least you're probably going to die.
Speaker 2:What's your choice?
Speaker 3:Cougar all day. Yeah, that would be my pick Cougar. For what?
Speaker 5:reason That'd be my pick too.
Speaker 2:Because, first off, you think you can fight a cougar. I swim as well as I can.
Speaker 1:You're just choosing an animal to die by.
Speaker 2:No, because so okay. So here's my rationale A grizzly bear will hit you, break your neck and then eat you while you're alive.
Speaker 3:But you would probably get a really cool movie out of it. Maybe, yeah, if you died.
Speaker 2:I do not want to be eaten ass first. I think that you do. I don't want to be eaten any direction first.
Speaker 1:Well, I think it would be worse. Ass first, because you're going to be alive still. You can feel it.
Speaker 2:You would know I have a broken neck. I think I'm good, I'm feeling nothing. You would watch you're everything getting broken and chewed. This is a terrible discussion. Anyways, a cougar I think I might have a fighting chance. I understand. I've never seen a cougar, never fought a cougar.
Speaker 1:It's smaller than a bear I literally think this is the fourth episode we've talked about if he could fight a cougar or not we're gonna get deep into.
Speaker 2:It's smaller than a bear. Yeah, um, I, from what I've, the way I've seen cats deal with their prey is like at one point the cougar might just like hold you down with its neck, with its jaws around your throat?
Speaker 3:yeah, but like I can, enjoying the feeling of your pulse before it kills you yeah, that's fine it's like, oh, he's nervous I am.
Speaker 2:I will be a little nervous um you're insane but, what do you?
Speaker 5:think it's the best of three shitty options what's the deadliest thing to humans, like did these other animals hippopotamus other humans, I thought hippopotamus too turns out it's mosquitoes. Oh, that makes sense yeah, which does make sense. And then humans, so many makes sense, and then snakes we saw a snake the other day on a run yeah, scared the shit out of us rattle.
Speaker 1:It was right? No, it wasn't, but it was right in the path, and we all came up on it like move so fast it didn't move at all.
Speaker 3:It was just like it was I jumped over one, yeah, on my run nice um and I was like I was like I bet that looks so cool. My mom was like you look like an idiot. I feel like that's a good way to get bit like well no because, like because like I was running and I didn't see it and it just kind of came out of nowhere and I just quickly jumped. I was like that's the most coordinated thing I've ever done, but apparently it was flailing and not it didn't look good.
Speaker 3:No, but you know what? I didn't step on the snake.
Speaker 2:Good job. You're welcome, snake. I did see one today.
Speaker 1:It was like this big, but it was huge. Yeah, which one of these animals would you rather die by? Die by.
Speaker 5:Cougar, no die by.
Speaker 1:No, cougar. No, because your rationale for cougar was you might have a chance to not die.
Speaker 3:No, you're dead, so you don't want it to be quick. You want to fight, exactly Like you want to suffer.
Speaker 2:I'm going to go down swinging. Okay, I, I think a cougar, I have a better chance. You said some concerning things this evening.
Speaker 3:I feel like we should maybe.
Speaker 1:That and the beater, it's a problem.
Speaker 2:Go through some stuff and if it severs my carotid artery I'll bleed out really fast Less than a minute.
Speaker 3:Yeah, unless your heart's beating really fast. It's faster, I know it's super slow Heart rate's down.
Speaker 2:Zone two down zone two yeah, he was in the zone box breathing yeah, he's just zone two fighting that cougar, uh, you know. And grappling. If I'm breathing slower than the person I'm grappling or the animal I'm grappling, I know I'm winning.
Speaker 1:So like I'm just gonna control my breathing okay, so so you'd rather die slower by the cougar than faster by the shark.
Speaker 2:Well, it sounds like I'm going to die fast. No, the shark, you're not dying fast by the shark.
Speaker 1:You are dying faster by a shark. You're dying fast by the shark you have two for Team Shark.
Speaker 3:Yeah Three, watch the three. Are you a shark? Of course I'm a shark.
Speaker 2:I encourage you to traumatize yourself by watching the video of the guy being eaten.
Speaker 4:It may change your mind Hit me with the link Well, if it's that, then it's going to be a bear, I'll send it to you on Twitter.
Speaker 3:I'm on there all the time.
Speaker 2:I don't want to be eaten alive. You know what? Fuck it. I want to die by a mosquito.
Speaker 1:That's terrible. It's not Ebola, it's malaria. Malaria doesn't kill you quick. I don't think malaria kills you all the time. Not all, I don't think malaria kills you all the time.
Speaker 5:No, not all the time but most people who die from mosquitoes have malaria. Yeah, it is. Yeah, 725,000 humans per year.
Speaker 1:From malaria. That's a lot Malaria. And can you figure Only?
Speaker 5:female mosquitoes bite.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we do.
Speaker 5:I didn't know that.
Speaker 4:Because you know what?
Speaker 3:We're not concerned about drill presses.
Speaker 4:We're just concerned about.
Speaker 1:Stupid drill presses. What is concerned about Stupid drill presses? Bite, what is the like? How long before someone gets malaria till they die, and is it?
Speaker 4:and do you suffer Actually?
Speaker 1:I don't, I'm going to be serious.
Speaker 2:Here's my hang up with death. We talked about death. Oh yeah, we did Last two podcasts.
Speaker 1:He's got a life calendar. I haven't filled it yet. Calendar which hasn't been filled out yet. I haven't had time, that's 52 boxes a year.
Speaker 2:How?
Speaker 1:much time do you think I have? He's got lots of time. Look at all that time he has left.
Speaker 5:All the boxes.
Speaker 2:I'm going to do 10 boxes every day. It'll take me a long time. Anywho, here's the thing about death 24 weeks okay and it can be cured within the first two weeks. But if you catch it, like if you like know that you have it, or if I think you can get like your malaria shots prior to going and then it's to prevent it. Oh, but yeah, you get vaccinated for malaria, but if you're like living brought to you by pfizer but they don't vaccinate or they're too poor, unfortunately.
Speaker 2:Uh, then they die but once you die, none of it matters. As soon as you die, it does not matter how you died. No, I agree.
Speaker 3:Unless you were being killed by a cougar and you're like Matt. I wish this was a shark right now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you would regret that forever.
Speaker 3:The last 30 seconds of your life would be.
Speaker 2:I wonder how long it takes for your brain to send you some really nice chemicals. I think it's pretty quick. No, I saw a. Thing.
Speaker 3:My algorithm's also been all about death over the last couple of weeks it's been a dark time.
Speaker 2:You're really on our way. I feel like I'm vibing this is good You're turning into.
Speaker 3:CJ, we should exchange videos. I'll be your agent, yes, but no, it was like your brain can like still like process what's going on for like 30 minutes after you die, or something like that. 30 minutes or something Like after you die, or something like that 30 minutes. Or something Like. I saw it something like that. That sounds like a long time, and then, so you can like hear what's going on around you. But like you've, like you're.
Speaker 1:That would be crazy. Well it's like the guillotine back in the day, when they cut people's heads off. They would hold them up and people used to be blinking yeah.
Speaker 3:That can you like? Can you imagine like people used to fight to go first I? Would want to go because the blade gets dull oh my god, so people would literally like fight, to line up if they were going to go be beheaded I, I would want to go first, just to get over it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think yeah that would be a good way to go.
Speaker 1:Let's be honest, if I had to choose a death like let's sharp blade, sharp blade, number one. And like we're guaranteed this is going to be a one chop thing. It's not going to be like oh yeah this isn't. This isn't heavy enough. We only got like a quarter of the way through. We're gonna redo this. No, we're talking one, just let go. Boom through the slice through.
Speaker 3:It's over super quick so like if you were, if you knew you were going to be beheaded yeah, they said that you knew. Would you practice like getting down, like putting your head on the?
Speaker 5:like, would you practice getting in a position why? He's not good at improv, so I feel like you can't screw that up. Well, I don't well, there's people there to like spot you.
Speaker 1:It's not like you're doing a bunch of stuff, so the difference is we go back to Game of Thrones we go back to Game of Thrones and the difference is now you're talking like they use, you have like the guy who uses the sword. We hope that dude knows what he's doing and doesn't miss.
Speaker 3:This is yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Have you watched Shogun Shogun.
Speaker 3:No, okay, because A lot of head cutting off in there. There's a lot of heads cut off in there.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 3:You'd like that show. I like a good beheading. I like a good violent.
Speaker 5:It's only after they stab themselves.
Speaker 3:After that's a sabuku, get their head cut off after they.
Speaker 5:They have to stab them Like their friend cuts their head off to put them out of their misery. Because they spoke at the wrong time or something like that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't know if I I would die so fast in that world. I would be like or that dude, that killed his son too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh, my God. Anyway, good show, really good. Okay, it's on Disney or free if you have other things.
Speaker 2:I have looked at it on the Disney what if your brain does keep working for 30 minutes and you're like the first guy that's beheaded and they just kind of throw you in the pile of heads.
Speaker 5:And you're just watching the other heads.
Speaker 1:Your brain's just sitting there like another one I'm curious about that because I don't care. I don't think 30 minutes can be accurate. I don't think it can be. Well, I saw it on TikTok, so it truth, it just seems way too long for your brain to be active without blood. Like blood flow to it, I don't know have you four to five seconds.
Speaker 2:Yeah, thank you that's still a long time, that's the guardian. But yeah, four to five seconds like the thing that we've done, you know like that really shitty thing we've done for five seconds is like the long, and you're like this is the longest, yeah, yeah it feels like forever um cryptic continue up
Speaker 5:to 30 seconds. This is more of a legitimate uh medical website.
Speaker 1:I didn't, I didn't really want to know that I could see that make. I could see that because, like I said, there was 30 seconds is a lot less daunting than 30 minutes. Oh, completely, you had the 30 right yeah, I'm very smart yeah, uh, that makes sense because that, because of the stories of the people where they hold their heads up and they're like kind of looking around like, oh, this is it.
Speaker 2:I guess, but they never. They never talk in all the heads I've seen. I don't think you can Cause you probably get to write in the voice you don't have any air to push through your voice box.
Speaker 5:Oh yeah, good point, you need air, oh.
Speaker 3:Oh God, oh, but like you just like whip out a blue steel.
Speaker 2:You're like I hope it stays like that's what they mean when they see your face is gonna stay like this forever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's that was a lie, ali. What do you think happens when we die? I don't know, do you have? Uh, I know you don't know, nobody knows. Do you have a thought? Do you have? Uh, I feel like I kind of like constantly change my mind about, yeah, what happens depending on, like how I'm feeling, that makes sense have.
Speaker 3:Uh, I feel like I kind of like constantly change my mind about, yeah, what happens, depending on, like how I'm feeling that makes sense, like no, it does you know, like sometimes I'm like maybe it would just be like going to sleep and then just never waking up and it's just dark and comfortable and fine. Or sometimes I'm like no, there's gonna be my dog there and it's gonna be nice.
Speaker 1:You know, I don't know yeah, I do, I don't I think, but it depends on, like, my mood of the day do you think that somehow our consciousness can survive death, like do you think that we're like made of something other than just like our brain, and there's some something that's like ethereal, that we can't grab or grasp or put in a bottle or whatever that somehow survives?
Speaker 3:I don't know, but I do like to think that I could haunt someone if I wanted to, or like just bump around, sure, like, just go like maybe. Do you think ghosts are real? Maybe, yeah, I do.
Speaker 1:Okay, so if ghosts if you think ghosts are real, then you must think that there's some way to persist after death. Yeah, I don't know if I I love beliefs like that.
Speaker 3:I don't like it. So it's not real. This doesn't align with me. I don't. That's great, no good justification.
Speaker 1:Um, yeah, I'm just curious.
Speaker 3:I'm just, I was curious what people thought people's feelings or thoughts are on that I think, I think my thought, like it, genuinely changes based on like kind of where I'm at.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think, mine does too. I think, if I really think about it, I think, once our brains done, it's done.
Speaker 1:Like, I think, once our brains shuts off, it's like there's no more consciousness, there's no more anything. So it'd be. And it's funny, because when we think of like nothingness, we think of like sleep and I'm comfort, it's comfort and dark, it's comfort and dark. Well, no, no, there's neither of those, because like comfort doesn't exist and there's darkness, it's just there's nothing. Yeah, it's. We talked about this one podcast with like when you get put out under for like a surgery. Have you ever, have you ever had put under?
Speaker 1:so it's like that you're counting back from like 10, you get to like eight, you're gone, and then you just wake back up at some point in time. But like that whole piece of time between that was like what it would be in my head and nothing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just there's nothing there and there's no coming back on the other side, but that's like the, the panpsychism thing, where they say, like when your consciousness fades, you just dissolve into the background consciousness of the universe, which is kind of like right, but in that case then you.
Speaker 1:There is some sort of persistence of you in the universe. Yes, what?
Speaker 2:oh, I read a book about this. It was really interesting. Um, it doesn't matter. I had the weirdest thing happen to me, like five years ago. Okay, tell me, I was sitting on the couch watching tv with my wife and then it felt like somebody turned to turn this on, switch off and then back on in the span of like half a second. Explain, that's if I was a light bulb. That's what it was. It was like off on and I was like I literally looked. I was like what the fuck, just that's so weird.
Speaker 1:So like you, just like you're like everything. Just I don't understand what you're meaning completely off, it's just a hard reset, real hard reset were you like.
Speaker 2:Where am I? No I knew it, but I was like I just got turned off and then I got turned back on ever since then?
Speaker 3:did your wife like it when you said that, or? Yeah, like that, I just got turned off, I don't know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's awful um it was, but now I'm back on. Yeah, it was the weirdest thing.
Speaker 2:It was possibly one of the weirdest things that's ever happened to me and I've just always, ever since then, I've always wondered like, oh, that felt like something, what that happened out of my control. Like, was there like a reset in the simulation or something like that trippy, but there's so much out of this.
Speaker 1:Is the thing about consciousness? Is it's all out of our control, really, in the sense of like we, we never, we don't pick, I don't know what's going to pop into my, like a thought, like like a thought that pops in your head, or even so, if you're having like some negative emotions or you aren't feeling well, like what is that? Cause it's? You're not, you're not choosing to. You wish you didn't feel that way.
Speaker 3:You're talking like intrusive thoughts?
Speaker 1:Yeah, just feelings and thoughts right when they're not by choice necessarily, and you can't you you're not like, from one moment to the next you might not know what's going to pop in your head. So you're going for a run or you're trying to meditate or whatever the thing is, and you're just trying to, like, focus on what you're doing. But next thing you know you're thinking about something and you didn't really choose to think about that, it just kind of came into your head and so it's like a lot of our life is just that way. Where where's that coming from? And we're being run almost almost by those emotions or thoughts which really aren't in our control. We can, we can control them, meaning I can choose to think about something. But in the end, the things that just pop into my head when I'm not like, when I'm not consciously choosing to to think or feel a certain way, where did those come from? And like what?
Speaker 1:it's just a weird thing to start thinking about, because then you're like okay, then what is it? What is it? That's because a lot of those things they dictate how you feel that day, your emotions, your they could, they could really mess with your full, your whole day, right if you choose, let them. I mean, you think there's ways to potentially stop that, but but, but that came from somewhere yeah I guess your own head.
Speaker 1:I want to say I read a book about that the words, because you say well, you can choose to control your thoughts, but even then that are when you're consciously, I think, when you're consciously making an effort to say I'm like, I'm gonna, we're gonna, in this moment, I'm gonna think about coffee and we're gonna talk about coffee and I'm so you're choosing are you making that choice or is because the book I read there was a study I think it was a time frame of the study of like the neuron activity in the brain right and that thought still occurs prior to the processing of the information sure like.
Speaker 1:So why? Why did I pick coffee? I mean, maybe it's because this coffee isn't sitting right in front? You're still not choosing that, hypothetically, yeah, which is messed up. So then that I mean, if we're getting deep into the weeds, that that really brings up the idea of free will or no free will. Sam Harris loves that right.
Speaker 1:Completely. He doesn't think there's any free will at all. He doesn't think we choose anything, it all just happens. And I'm somewhere between it. I think that there's a bit of both, because I think fundamentally, I don't know, I don't know. So free will it means that we think that we have complete control over our own choices, but I don't think that's necessarily true. I think that we have to act in the world like we have.
Speaker 1:This comes back to the dark matter thing. I think we have to act in the world like we have choices and we make decisions based on what's going on. But the question is, like, did we really have a choice? And this comes back to even like the idea of like uh, people's with trauma in their lives, their inability, their ability to make choices, so that they have like uh, trauma in their house when they were kids. It literally changes the wiring of the brain, so their ability to make choices potentially is different than somebody who grew up in a loving environment. And so then, as for the rest of their life as an adult, if they make terrible choices in their life, is that even was? Is that even in their control not to do that? And so then, like where's the agency? Like where? Where can you say that that's well, you're a bad person because you made these bad choices? It's like, well, if we, if we, understood that maybe it's like they didn't have a choice. It gets so messed up and and like freak you when you start thinking about it because you can't do anything else but feel like I'm choosing things in my life, right, so that's where like it that I think for me, the free will, no free will thing is kind of a it's a moot point, because in the end we have to act like we have free will I think yeah, 100, yeah ow my brain
Speaker 2:are you okay after that?
Speaker 3:well, I like, I don't know like, I just like, yeah, even just like simple, like day-to-day mindset I'm like well, I have to like have positive self-talk and I really have been working on that, but I'm like why? Do? I need that it seems like why can't I just wake up and be like, no, I'm good?
Speaker 1:I think and that's funny because we've had me, I've been obsessed with this lately and I used to think it was all bullshit, but now I'm kind of obsessed with it. I I think the thing is because you train your. You train your subconscious because, again, we don't know what's controlling us, we don't know why we get these thoughts. And if you train your subconscious self to think positively about your outlook on life or yourself personally, like physical things or whatever I'm smart, I'm pretty and whatever the thing is if you, if you choose to like, have that mindset and you intentionally say those things and get yourself to think that way, at some point in time, your subconscious just starts doing it, and so then you become a more positive person because your body just feeds that positivity to yourself subconsciously, which is crazy to think, because it's like you're not choosing. At some point it's not really even a choice, it's just your body's like oh, this is what we're doing.
Speaker 5:But you're choosing to be like that, so you can choose your own path, that's kind of your free will thing, isn't it Like you can choose the way you make choices using your logic there?
Speaker 1:Yeah, which is why it's confusing. It's super confusing, I agree, which is kind of why it's confusing, because yeah, but I don't know, but like maybe, but maybe the point is your ability to choose to think that way is harder for somebody than somebody else.
Speaker 1:Like like I was gonna say, like I had, like you have to work so hard to like be positive where it's much easier to just be negative and, and I think, that depends on how you the million things you can't even put your finger on like things that happen to you as a kid, maybe at school, things that happened to you in your house, like all these things that potentially built up.
Speaker 1:Somebody, for some reason, was influential at one point in your time. You can't even remember anymore, but they said something that was detrimental to something in your brain at that point, which gave you this narrative of, oh, I'm not good enough, or whatever the thing is. It's interesting. I don't know if you've heard us talk about it, but there's that book how to Talk to Yourself Is that what it's called, I think, what to Say when you Talk to Yourself.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what to Say when you Talk to Yourself, shad?
Speaker 1:Helmstetter. I listened to it on Audible and I was listening to it when I was running and it's mind-blowing. It's very interesting. These movies and it was almost like comedy movies, where they would have like the self-help play guy who's like driving his taxi around, but he's playing to self-help and he's listening to you are great, you are wealthy, you are positive and you're kind of like, oh, what an idiot like you kind of had that weird, like it was almost portrayed like oh, he's, I don't know he's, he's stupid or he's something right, he's too much, I don't know what he's the sociopath.
Speaker 1:Yeah, completely yeah but, like this guy, his whole thing is no, no, that stuff is like insanely important and you should be playing these. He's got actually this app that you can play, where he's got self-affirmations that you should listen to every single day, and he's like even, and in his mind his whole point is even if you're not paying attention to it, but it's playing, it's helpful yeah, you just kind of like soak it up, yeah which is like is that true?
Speaker 2:I don't know. Interesting, do you do affirmations in the morning?
Speaker 3:I, I do yeah like I have a few, and then I have like a little gratitude journal that I started doing because I'm like, yeah, like my whole, like I was so busy, and now I'm like, now I have all this time for myself so I'm doing.
Speaker 2:I said no to so many things that I can I, I got so boring.
Speaker 3:It's great, but yeah, no, I. And yeah, I've been thinking a lot about like the mindset stuff too, but I've never thought about why I need to work so hard on that. So, thanks, thanks for that one so what is gonna?
Speaker 1:if you don't, if you don't want sharing, if it's too personal, it's fine. But like, uh like, because you said you dealt with some, just kind of some, uh like I don't know, depression, anxiety, whatever you want to call it for a while, or you don't even know what it was like I got physically sick, yeah, and then it ended up being mental health related for sure so, but like my body.
Speaker 3:I think it was just like a little bit of burnout too, like I think I was doing so much right that then the universe was like sit down, so I did in the prop.
Speaker 1:But in that process of dealing with that and then of where you are now and doing all these things, what, what was it? That is it? Is it some of these new habits or these things that you're doing that it brought you out of, that you think, or that are being helpful to you now, or what is it that kind of pulled you through that?
Speaker 3:yeah, I think a lot of it is just like listening to what I feel like I need, like what my body needs, and then trusting it right because I think before like I would get in such a vicious cycle of like well, I didn't go to the gym today, like obviously. Now I know that when I go to bed at the end of the day I'm like I didn't go to the gym because when I woke up I didn't feel physically well enough to go to the gym and I needed to sleep, so I did so.
Speaker 3:I like trusting that.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 3:Past Allie was looking out.
Speaker 3:Right Versus what Versus like, versus being like well now it's Monday and I already fucked up my week, so, like whenever, I'll start next week Right, and then just being like man, I can't do this, I'm Right, even like running Cause like I was stuck was like I never, never went farther, never went farther, because I would always be like, no, I can't do it, I'm not a runner, right. But now I'm like, no, I can do it, like I can do hard things and actually just like convincing myself that I can right and then, when you prove yourself right, it's, it's great completely.
Speaker 3:You're speaking our language so, yeah, I think it's like.
Speaker 2:I think it's been a big like mindset change for me we accept your application yes to the guild, yes, thank you and look forward to you attending our weekly meetings great, can't wait.
Speaker 3:I have so much free time. I'll be there.
Speaker 1:Yes, I will be there is journaling something new that you started uh, just journaling something new that you started after kind of going through that process, or is it something you've done for a while?
Speaker 3:I've kind of always journaled. They were big on it during my like acting degree, so I actually don't love journaling I do like a guided, like I have the five minute journal okay, that I do first thing in the morning and then right before bed, yeah, um, and then if I have something on my mind, I'll like write it out.
Speaker 3:Or sometimes I find like, as a performer, I'd like overshare or I'd be like I try to like make other people happy by like being like, well, here's what I'm going through, even though I'm like they don't care, right, so it's not like a safe share, so I try to write it out that makes sense and then that way I'm not carrying it around her I like that as compared to and maybe it's just me being like a shitty person like that, you know, like the oversharing on generally in today's day and age social media yeah I'm going through xyz.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm seeking your. I'm seeking a certain response or or feedback. I don't like that and I don't know why I would, and I seems disingenuous. It does, it's?
Speaker 3:just very like extrinsically motivated. Yes, I think, and I think like for me the longest time like that was right, because I'm performing like I'm looking for other people's validation to tell me that I'm doing a good job, and then it just like bleeds over to your whole life and then yeah, so we're working on that yeah, it's, it's totally a and journaling such a pain.
Speaker 2:I've done it a little bit.
Speaker 3:I hate it I wish I could, I do like a little voice recording sometimes too, where I'll just like speak it yeah and then you just kind of like, because for me, like I'm not journaling to remember it later, like I want to, just kind of like, and I burn stuff too, like I'll write something down and then I'll burn it and it feels real good.
Speaker 2:It took me so long to even just talk out loud to myself, like I'll be driving to work every morning. I say the same shit every morning. Sometimes I get it right, sometimes I don't.
Speaker 4:During the day.
Speaker 2:Right, but I'll, like it took me so long just to be even being like okay, yeah, let's just go through the day, right.
Speaker 3:Like if it works or not. I talked, I talked to myself all the time I was in chapters, like a few like weeks ago, and this guy like down the aisle kept being like sorry, and I was like you're fine, and I was like not talking to you, and then he's he's like sorry, and I was like no, like you're fine, like why are you apologizing?
Speaker 3:and he's like no, I thought you were talking to me, like you've been talking this whole time and I'm like oh sorry, I live alone, I don't know what to tell you Like I'm crazy, but yeah it helps, it's great, just everything it was great.
Speaker 1:I got a journal.
Speaker 2:Or talk to yourself. Do you talk to yourself, jason? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5:No, I don't.
Speaker 2:No, you don't stand in front of the mirror.
Speaker 5:I have a journal, though, that I had, let's say, about 15, 20 years years ago when the previous nursing home I worked at. They made you journal throughout your 16-week program oh interesting and I read that a couple months ago. We had this little talk and I enjoyed reading it again did you? Yeah, were you gonna read yours, do you think? Or you just, it's just gonna go.
Speaker 3:Well, I have this like looming fear that, like I, die suddenly and then that's what they find and they're like I didn't know, she felt that way and then at that funeral.
Speaker 1:So let's have reading. But I like I also.
Speaker 3:I I don't know, I don't read over them. I did a performance piece when I was in school where I actually sat naked and read out of my journal like in front of other people like in front of an audience okay it was terrible so like now, I like, once I'm kind of done process, I'll like check it or I have a book, like it's a guided journal. It's called Burn After Writing. So it just asks you all these like it's like a prompted guided thing.
Speaker 5:And you just, yeah, that's a great way to start, I think, because I don't know where to start.
Speaker 1:Oh it's awesome. Yeah, Naked in front of people.
Speaker 3:Naked in front of it, every performer, everybody was naked. Everyone performed in the nude.
Speaker 2:Okay, wow, okay, that's a different.
Speaker 3:You had an interesting career 19 year old me was crazy. Yeah, we don't talk about her, but yeah, so I'm like I don't know. I just I don't want people to read this, so I typically will get rid of it. Yeah, so I typically will get rid of it, yeah, yeah. Or like, if I'm like really angry, I'll like burn it. It feels, it feels good.
Speaker 4:Yeah, burn it.
Speaker 2:It's too many things, not enough time.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like meditation, I have a meditation app that I love and I never use it Calm. Yeah, I paid for it, and it's so expensive. Yeah.
Speaker 3:I just canceled my subscription. Like the other cause, I used to use the meditation and the sleep stories I liked, but now I'm just like I'm just going to watch Netflix like a monster.
Speaker 1:Not sure that's going to give you the same positive feedback, especially when you watch like Dahmer or something.
Speaker 2:Just Dexter, yeah, horror story yeah.
Speaker 3:I put out what I take in it's okay.
