SPEAKER_00:Everyone feels the same way you do. Alright? What do you do right now?
SPEAKER_04:The podcast is recorded.
SPEAKER_03:Not now it's not, because we mentioned all of his name. It's always recorded. Well, you'd start like a couple seconds ago.
SPEAKER_04:Why do you we always have such good material?
SPEAKER_03:I have no issues with being here like in a relationship with you if people think that's what it is. I have no issues with that.
SPEAKER_04:I'd I'd hit that.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I I think we'd be a good couple.
SPEAKER_04:I I think we'd have our struggles, but we'd figure it out.
SPEAKER_03:Oh man. I can't imagine you and JB.
SPEAKER_04:It'd be like Mary being married to yourself.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, that's it's not a good thing, actually. That'd be a terrible thing. It would be very bad. I think we would make a barely bad couple, but we'd have a lot of fun. I feel like six like if if I were to take any any ones of us and put us in a in a in a couple, it would be you and JB. I think you guys would make a much better couple than me.
SPEAKER_04:It's so funny how human beings can have something going on or something happen that has absolutely no bearing to the people around them. Yeah. But then just punish the people around you for 12 hours, whatever.
SPEAKER_01:And it's weird because like yeah, like in your head you might not feel like you're doing it, but but this is where this is where it's weird, right? Because energy, I don't necessarily say that that I don't think energy is real. It is real. Okay. Like the idea that people can check, see your aura or read an energy. But in a sense, we all kind of do that. You know what I mean? Like to like you you can feel when someone is like in a shitty mood. But I would say it's more fr probably from reading so a cue's body language that you're not really you can't really put a finger on, but it's like you're seeing these things that then lead you to this idea that they are suffering today or something's going on with them, or they're just in a they don't they don't want to talk. I don't know. You gotta know them. Do you though? I don't know.
SPEAKER_03:That's the thing. If you guys I could tell with you guys, because I know how you guys are.
SPEAKER_01:I don't know on a on another Yeah, like with people that are closer to you, I think you have a better idea because you know their you know their baseline, you kind of know their their general mood most of the time. So it's easier to say, hey, what's something's up? You're off today, what's up? For sure. But someone like someone brand new, like someone you just met, I think you can still get a vibe off of them, right? So like what is that? Is that again, is that just our inability to uh articulate the fact that we're processing like body language, or is it actually some sort of energy that we're re reading into?
SPEAKER_03:I'd love to think it's energy.
SPEAKER_04:I knew a girl that said she can see uh people's auras.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, uh-huh. Okay.
SPEAKER_04:And it was super weird. She was adamant. She's like, Yeah, I can't. Was she accurate?
SPEAKER_01:You didn't have her read people, or like if she had said, I don't know, like so if that I would have tested that. Cool. Can you? Okay, tell me about this person. What do you think? And then kind of just test that theory.
SPEAKER_03:I would have gone to the sidewalk immediately and just waited for the first person to walk up and and then sorry, I guess you I guess the way she said I can see people's auras.
SPEAKER_04:Right. So then you can read it. So what the hell's an aura?
SPEAKER_01:She just can't interrupt. I'm assuming an aura is like it's like a glow. Yeah, yeah, 100%. Like a glow or yeah, but then that would tell her something like uh their mood or like them as a personality, do you think? More like their mood, I think. Like a mood ring. Is that what can you look up auras? See what Grox says about auras. Like what is what are auras supposed to be? Or what are they supposed to mean about a person? Like I'm curious as to what they are supposed to be telling.
SPEAKER_03:A subtle invisible energy field. Yeah. Believed to surround, blah blah blah. Uh it is reflecting on a person's emotional and mental state.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Yeah, so not like them, it's not like that person is has a red aura, so they're angry. It's like in that moment they're having they have this aura. Which you know what, again, I I I don't know. If someone's saying they physically see a color around somebody, okay, that's a little weird. But if someone says I'm good at reading people, I think that's doable. I think people can be better at others at at catching the little kind of cues people give off.
SPEAKER_04:For sure. And some people, I think I'm one of these people, are really bad at hiding when shit's going on. Yeah, completely. And and should you hide it? I don't know. Yeah, no, yeah. Uh sometimes. Okay. Usually not like when I usually just when I'm cranky. Yeah. You know how like when you just have cranky days like some people had today, apparently. And you just you just like hurt everyone around you on purpose.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, but it makes you feel better.
SPEAKER_04:Well, no, it makes it makes you feel like very briefly. Yeah, I don't think it does. No.
SPEAKER_03:Do you ever get like in a grumpy mood like that though? And then uh this is so weird. If I'm in a grumpy mood and I go home, I'm like not I have to take that energy and like take the green mile and it's gonna go into my wife, and then when she becomes grumpy, then I become happy. We have this weird thing. No, is that a normal thing? Like if I'm grumpy, when I piss her off, it makes me happy again.
SPEAKER_04:Uh I think I think I've experienced what you're saying.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, like that's usually me hurting people around me, as like I I will hurt somebody until they hurt as much as I do, and then I feel better.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, because fuck them. No, that's bad. It's terrible. Uh but is it like you feel better because it's it's like shared now? It's like, see, now we're both now. We both feel like this.
SPEAKER_04:I think you feel better because you get it off your chest. Like you do the venting process or however you need to process it. Do you think that's how domestic violence happens?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, with like some with some paps with that and some paps blue ribbon. I think that's a good point.
SPEAKER_01:Or it's like you're like you're pissed and you're like uh uh and you feel hurt because of something, so you decide I'm gonna hurt you.
SPEAKER_04:But instead of saying like you know, hurtful words like your kitchen is really clean today.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, you're violence.
SPEAKER_01:I'm sure there's something to do with that.
SPEAKER_03:Meatloaf again.
SPEAKER_01:I I definitely think that obvious there are obviously some people who are very good at reading people. Um just and and that's in I find that interesting. I think I'm okay at it to be honest. Um but I I'd be curious to know if like those people who are like trained behavioralists or trained um, I don't know, these people who work crowds and kind of like pull people out and can tell things about them. I wonder if they I I don't know. I wonder what's different about them. Is this something they've just studied, or it's just something that they're because of their personality, they're more in tune to. Can you learn it, or is it just like something that you are?
SPEAKER_04:Well, I think you can I think it's a combination of both. You can up or down regulate your own natural abilities, but you're probably still some people are just more in tune to that. I wish that's the kind of thing I wish I was more in tune to was watching people's body language or trying to use that. Because obviously we all see it, yeah, but can you be conscious of what you're seeing?
SPEAKER_01:I think I think it's like I think it's like the idea, the awareness thing. I think um it's it's uh like hey, look out for the orange truck, and you never have seen an orange truck, or you're like, I'm what orange truck, I never there's no orange trucks, all of a sudden every second vehicle you pass seems to be an orange truck. Recency bias? Is that not yes, something like that? I don't know, something like that, but like I think yeah, so it's just the idea that just bringing your attention to something, all of a sudden it's like it's everywhere. And so if you are bringing your attention to I want to see uh or to observe somebody's minor body language movements or how they're holding their head or their arms or their hands or where they're looking when they talk to you, all these little things, if you are actually being observant and thinking about it, then you're gonna see it, or you're gonna at least have the option to see it, I guess. I don't know, it's interesting, but like it would take some very um you'd have to be like very focused on it.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, it's hard to focus on.
SPEAKER_01:How come uh Jack Reacher, like when he walks into a like um a restaurant, says, Well, I go, Yeah, well, there's like seven vehicles out there, and the license plates are seven three new two five six three, that one is that. Hey, if I was gonna look for a gun, it'd be in that car, and that dude over there has got a knife.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I walk into a restaurant and I'm like, I'm hungry.
SPEAKER_04:Where's the menu?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. I think I'd like that. What like there and there's that all those TV shows about there's always a cop or something who can just tell when people are lying. You know what I mean? Yeah. I I that's a good superpower.
SPEAKER_01:Sure. You know, I but I think again, I think it's just dealing with humans for a lot, a lot of time, like dealing with humans in general who continually lie to you, you start seeing certain things. And just the way people phrase things and that kind of stuff, right? I think it becomes uh a lot easier to be like, hey, you're not telling me the truth. Um, and but again, like situational awareness stuff, like that's where I mean, if you wanted to be that hyper-vigilant all day, every day, first of all, it'd be super stressful and tiring, but you could probably get to that point where you're like scanning the room all the time, seeing who's a threat in this room. Yeah, you don't want to do that. No, you don't. I I think there's a but I think there's a middle ground to be had. I think there's some of that you can't you have to do some. I think you should, everyone should have some awareness and be able to do some of that most of the time. Do you know what I mean? Like, I think it's okay to walk into a building or a new room with a bunch of people and kind of do a quick scan to be like, is there any threats here?
SPEAKER_04:I think and I would suspect you probably do that subconsciously.
SPEAKER_01:Right, but is it but is it as effective as consciously walking into a room being like, okay, who's here?
SPEAKER_04:Uh scan, scan, okay, cool. I think it I I don't know. I'm making shit up, but I think it is. I think if you are in tune enough to listen to your gut, you can probably a lot of this stuff a lot of this stuff just process in the background. Yeah. Because you know how that it's that same thing where you we've all felt it, where maybe at the nursing home you're like, something's not right. Oh completely. Right. I I I've had those feelings not at work. Yeah. You know, where you're like, ooh, this is something, some alarm bells are going off. So I think if you're in tune enough to pay attention to that, I think the rest of it can probably just process in the background.
SPEAKER_01:I think that is like the number like when it comes to these self-defense courses, especially for women, I think the biggest thing that should be taught is just awareness. Like the situational awareness that buddy, palm heel strike.
SPEAKER_03:Come on.
SPEAKER_01:Like all of the garbage and are frustrating to watch. Uh and uh sure, you there should be some physicality. You learn a couple of things because you know it's better to know something than nothing. But I think a lot of the attacks that happen, I'm not saying could have been prevented, but there should there's probably some sort of tell prior to it happening that maybe could have been um observed, which which allow would allow maybe maybe you to like either not go to that area because like ah, that guy seems a little weird or something's off over here. I'm gonna go this way. Or like I'm not saying I don't know, like I just it seems like that awareness piece is missing, especially these days when most people's faces in their phones walking around. I actually saw a video of uh it was like some chick that gets dragged off screen, and the dude, like she was sitting at a bus stop looking at her phone, the guy walked around her probably four times and just staring at her like the four times, and she didn't notice him. I've seen that video, yeah. It's super creepy. And again, it's just like had you just had some awareness of like looking up and maybe looking around and looking at the guy in the eye, and then maybe that would be enough to be like, okay, she's she knows I'm here.
SPEAKER_03:Well what would you give this? Might sidetrack it. What would you give your wife, since we're all married here, for a legal thing to carry that she can carry?
SPEAKER_01:I told her I got her a knife.
SPEAKER_03:Got her a knife?
SPEAKER_01:Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, folding or fixed?
SPEAKER_01:It's folding, which is annoying, but yeah. But like it's just a little thing, and like it's just simple, like and again, it it's it was it ever gonna be useful? Who the hell knows? But and it would it, if if she got attacked, would she even have the the thought process to get it out of wherever she has it and use it? Or could and then from uh like could she use it? Do you know what I mean? Like from an actual brutality, like I need to use this standpoint. I would like to think so, uh, but I guess something's better than nothing. The other problem is with any sort of weapon is the could it be taken from you and used against the yeah, that's yeah, the knives are hard with that.
SPEAKER_04:I I would suspect it would be a bit of a pitfall to if you're in a physical confrontation where one person doesn't have a weapon. Yeah. Yeah. If it's a woman, there's gonna be probably a size or strength difference, but I think it would be not ideal to introduce then a weapon to that.
SPEAKER_01:I I think if it is introduced, it has to be done like violently and uh from a from a like a surprise position. Not like it shouldn't it should be super not obvious that that's what I'm doing.
SPEAKER_03:She doesn't bring it out to say, hey, get back and I'll stab you. She brings it out to stab him in the neck.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, like that's that would be the difference. I think that's completely right. And I think that would be the only way to go. I don't think it's like uh like holding it in front of you, like fending you fending the person off. No, it's like it's like the guy's already like close the distance or on top of you or something, and it's like grab that thing and stab him in the neck.
SPEAKER_04:Same as firearms, though. You watch those videos in the States where road rage buddy in the front car gets out with a gun walking up to the other vehicle, and you're like, Well, this is not gonna end well for you, right? Whereas the person with the upper hand is the person that isn't you know sitting there with the gun out. Uh strike burst. Yeah. It's funny you said uh Jack Reacher though, because I was watching a clip from the first season to Jack Reacher. Yeah, and it was always like, I'm gonna count to three and I'm gonna do the thing. And it'd be like one, boom, two, and he hits the guy on two, and I'm like, yeah, yeah. Like that's completely like the girl getting circled by that dude on the park on the on the bus bench. Completely. Just kick him in the nuts the third time he walks around and run off.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Like, what's the harm?
SPEAKER_01:The uh course that I went on recently, um, the guy, his big thing was I'm just gonna find it here, uh, strike first, create an imbalance, and change the angle of attack. Uh that's that was like so basically if it's inevitable, and this is the thing I think most people don't have the uh ability to either tell that it's inevitable or to I don't know what the word is. They they don't have the not ability, but the um the need or the I think there's a level of comfort with violence too though. I guess that's what it is. Like the the like that's what I guess what I'm saying in ability, I don't mean like physical physical ability, I mean like the mental to go to the place to do it. That's what I'm trying to say, like to like realize this is there's no way this doesn't happen, and I am in danger, and because of that I am going to throw punch this person before they even have an opportunity to hit me. And I guess the the world that we live in though, this is this is the problem with the world that we live in in Canada for specifically is does that now person get in trouble for doing that thing as a as a civilian preemptive kind of completely when it's like oh yeah, they would 100%, but I don't know, like but like that's that's messed up because in the end, I mean, yeah, it's perception, but if you're threat I don't know, it's weird. It's a weird topic.
SPEAKER_03:I've never been full-on punched by my wife with the pads and stuff, but I think I'm gonna have her strap some gloves on and just give me everything she's got, one punch. I'm just curious, I'm curious. Can you videotape it, please? I will. I have 100%.
SPEAKER_04:So undirected. She's gonna hair so I know if she punches.
SPEAKER_03:Uh yeah.
SPEAKER_01:She still will break her hand because her wrist will turn on something. You're right. Tell her to Albow you in the face.
SPEAKER_03:I'm pretty soft, though. Yeah, no, that but that's a good point. Anyway, has your wife ever fully punched you? Like 100%? Like No. No? No, like I think. Do you think she could throw a good throw a good hand?
SPEAKER_04:No, I don't.
SPEAKER_03:I don't think so. And no offense to her. She's awesome. I don't think she could either.
SPEAKER_04:No, it's like you've never.
SPEAKER_03:Out of our wives, honestly, I would say JB's wife could. I could see her. I could see her going full, just redneck and just beating the heck out of both of our wives.
SPEAKER_04:She's got bony fists. Yeah. Same with Tony's wife. I could see Tony's wife. Oh little. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Like no offense to JB's wife, but if Tony's wife's there, she's the alpha.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, she's got a tattoo on her head. Oh, she does too. Oh, immediate alpha. That's how you know. Yeah, immediate alpha. She's been to jail. That's how you know. Anyway, we got on a weird tangent here, but like, yeah, I don't know how we even got there. Violence.
SPEAKER_03:No, I just think about my wife's fighting people. Violence of action.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. The that's the like I mean, that's the frustrating part about all of this uh self-defense stuff that I see online is just it's mostly garbage. And it's and not only is it garbage, but it's just taking people's money for this.
SPEAKER_03:But you're building confidence in a place where they shouldn't have confidence. That's exactly a false sense of confidence.
SPEAKER_01:Where uh in in a any sort of real encounter where someone's actually giving pressure and the it would not nothing, none of that would work.
SPEAKER_03:I love those videos when they do show that stuff though, and then they'll cut to the person who's making the video and they'll actually do the thing in a real life kind of environment. Those are good. Never work.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, those are good.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, it's the best.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, just grab here, turn, and then they try to do it, and you're this guy's just like, what are you doing?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, those are fun. Have you seen Black John Wick on Instagram? Yes.
SPEAKER_03:It's Detroit Urban Survival Tactics, is what is those people are terrible. That that's the Black John Wick, isn't it? No, no, no Black John Wick is like legit cool.
SPEAKER_01:Like, I don't know if he's actually good. Is this the dude with uh like guys who got he like smashes these guys with hockey outlets on? Yeah, or like uh racing. Yeah, yeah, that dude's scary. He is scary. Um he's got some crazy knife stuff that I actually was playing with one day where it's like from uh from a concealed spot within your front waistband, it's like your left hand goes out for like a strike but a distraction, then it comes straight back to your shirt lifts as your right hand grabs the knife and jams it jams it in, and it's so quick, it's like and you're like, oh my god. And he's fast, I suspect Shockwave Warrior. He dude, like some of his stuff is like legit, it's it but but his whole principle is that strike first and strike hard. Like don't give him an opportunity to do anything. So it's like Oh yeah, he does. Oh, dude, he's like him.
SPEAKER_04:He makes his friends wear motorcycle helmets and just absolutely destroys them.
SPEAKER_01:It's uh it's really interesting stuff, and it's actually real that I I like it because I think it's it's actually legitimately would work because it's so violent so quickly.
SPEAKER_04:I think I I think it would. If you are practiced at that level of speed and aggression, sure, that's the whole premise. Completely. Detroit urban survival tactics is parody.
SPEAKER_03:I thought that yeah, all it's the messed up thing it isn't. They I did a deep dive one night on this guy and they interviewed people who used to work with him at the at the he used to bounce for uh this club, and he always used to tell people he worked for these secret things he couldn't talk about. He legitimately believes he is like he legitimately believes he's amazing.
SPEAKER_01:Uh well that that McDojo guy on Instagram like post about that of him and stuff. He's making a movie apparently. Did you we tell you that we ran into him at ADCC?
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:No, Dust the guy, the McDojo guy. Yeah, we met Mr.
SPEAKER_01:McDojo. We met away. Uh he was passing out uh Jocko swag. Because apparently Jocko's like partnering with him on his uh the film that he's trying to make.
SPEAKER_03:Is it just a film about like fake like this? I think so. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I think it's a film about like fake martial artists and uh fake dojos and stuff.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Did you watch UFC last weekend? I did not. Or two weeks ago. I haven't watched it in a while. The guy I can't blank on his name right now. Taekwondo. Yeah. Man, those people can kick Taekwondo?
SPEAKER_03:But he put it in his like his resume?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Okay.
SPEAKER_04:That was probably his main discipline. I don't know if it was, but he could fucking kick. Those guys can kick. Yeah. Like I wish I could get my leg above my hip right now. I've seen you kick. I think it's not your strong suit. I think the jiu-jitsu. It's like swimming. It's not great. If I practiced, I'm so frustrated with my body. That sucks. Okay. Like I'm ready just from the neck down to just hit the reset button.
SPEAKER_03:But what about neck up? Like cyborg? You need to keep that neck up? What's going on?
SPEAKER_04:Neck up's good, bro.
SPEAKER_03:Well, is it? I'm just asking.
SPEAKER_01:What are we like how are we reset we resetting this? Like, are we?
SPEAKER_04:I feel like you did, you know, after your 75 hardware you just fell like face first off the like the you just onto concrete and just like I go through phases. Yeah, I'm I'm at the bottom of a phase right now. It's not good. It's not.
SPEAKER_01:But like you're you're dealing with injuries, which sucks.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, and motivation and diet. Okay. And hey, motivation's garbage, bro. Do you know how many ice cream sandwiches? Ice cream sticks, those things I did today.
SPEAKER_01:I was gonna dr in the yeah. I was gonna get one and I completely forgot about it. I eat yours too today, don't worry. In the fridge, in the fridge in our change room.
SPEAKER_04:In the room, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:In the in the nursery.
SPEAKER_04:How many did you have? I had two. That's one for breakfast.
SPEAKER_03:Oh no, look out. He's got two ice cream sandwiches in the room.
SPEAKER_01:I saw those and I was gonna get one and I completely forgot about them. Two pints of milkman ice cream last Saturday. Two pints. Milkman ice cream is great. It's delicious. So two kids is overkill. Shout out to No, it's not. Shout out to Milkman ice cream. Yeah. That the lady that owns that place is like such a hard work. I chatted with her one day, and like the amount of hours she must put in there is crazy.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, she's a she's amazing.
SPEAKER_01:And she just like, but she comes in, like, has to make the ice cream. I don't know if she makes it like she said in the morning she makes it.
SPEAKER_03:And like I ate my two and I went back in there because their flavor of the month is ending, which is the carrot cake and and mini egg. But carrot, so good. I went ate the two carrot cakes. It is way better. Which is surprising. Saturday was my first day I had one. It was amazing. But then I went in the next day. Oh no, so it's Friday. So the next day on Saturday, I dropped$85 on ice cream. Oh my god, it's going out, it's going out. Like it's gonna, they're gonna resize, so I got I got a style. I got one for every month.
SPEAKER_01:How did that fit into your budget app?
SPEAKER_03:Don't worry about that. It's not good. But the budget's working well. We're getting there. We're making small steps. I got a little savings built up, I got an emergency fund now. Feeling feeling good. Little steps, man. Little steps. Pretty not going wood. Everything's going well. All it's gonna take is like a roof going, and then I'm screwed.
SPEAKER_04:But there's always those things.
SPEAKER_03:You know. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:I spent$28 of bulk burn on candy.
SPEAKER_01:That's not that. You have that much. Like, I want how was it a month or two months ago? Like, we were off the sugar, off the booze, off the booze was, but like that's the next thing to go, I think.
SPEAKER_04:No, no. That one that one I can find some consistency in. I don't know. I was so good for spiritual.
SPEAKER_01:What's the spiral about? Why are you spiraling?
SPEAKER_04:I don't know. Okay. I it motivation.
SPEAKER_01:Whatever the thing we know motivation is garbage.
SPEAKER_04:Motivation is But why do you keep running? Discipline.
SPEAKER_01:I don't honestly. Some days it's awesome, and I love it. Like today, we had like uh Nathan and I went for a run and it felt Why was Nathan wearing a button-up shirt? What is that about? No, it's yeah, it's a legit running shirt. Like it's uh a running company, it's like super thin and breathable. Okay, sorry.
SPEAKER_03:You look like a farmer's shirt. Anyway, I'll leave him alone.
SPEAKER_01:But like it felt great today. Like it felt like it was it was difficult. We did some nice big giant hills and just pushed hard and like it felt awesome. And then some like days I don't want to put my shoes on, but I just do it. I don't know. See that maybe if you get a chink in the discipline armor. But everyone does, and you will and you but you will say the point is like to get back on that train sooner than later because it's always hard the longer it lasts, the longer that goes on, it's harder to get back.

SPEAKER_01:Just start with going to the gym. Like, just start with that. Who cares about the gym?
SPEAKER_04:But say okay, and say I'm not making excuses. Okay, but I do want to talk through this because I'm frustrated with the gym because I can't do the things I want to do because everything hurts. Okay. So then I'm like, I'm not going to the gym. Do something different. Well, I've been stretching. Okay. And I've been still grappling.

SPEAKER_04:I know. I'm so I'm I'm being a baby about it. Yeah. So frustrated, and the way I'm pouting is by doing less of the thing that's good for you. By doing less and eating crap.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. I haven't been good in my diet like at all.
SPEAKER_04:Okay, Mr. Oh, it's 10 o'clock. I need to go get my cottage cheese. Do you guys mind if I just walk through your scenario?
SPEAKER_01:I guess I did. Anyway. You having a good day there, CJ? I just yeah, I suppose I did that. So it seems to me like you're pretty disciplined with your uh um I guess like with the healthy, like my healthy stuff. I drank consistent with that, but then I have too many snacks and garbage. Like I drank a bottle of wine on the weekend. It felt it was amazing. I liked it. It was tasty. Just by yourself, I think. By myself. Hey, I've never seen it. No, supper. I had started I started at supper, had a glass, and that turned into two and three, got in the hot tub, had another one, and then next thing you know, the bottle was gone. I mean, it sounds like fun. It was great.
SPEAKER_04:Was the sun going down when you were finishing it? Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. I'm gonna do that on Friday. I like that. It was good. I like that.
SPEAKER_01:And I've decided that I like that way better than Yeah, moderation.

Well, actually, probably honestly won't. It'd probably be like, you know, three or four a day kind of thing, but way more than I normally would drink.
SPEAKER_03:But three or four drinks a day at an all-inclusive?
unknown:Okay, maybe more.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, it's uh yeah, I would say like six.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, probably like the whole day. The whole afternoon, have a couple, and then supper, a couple, and then yeah, for sure.
SPEAKER_03:Do what I did when I was paying. I just got super drunk in front of my kids, and it was weird.
SPEAKER_01:I don't plan on doing that.
SPEAKER_03:I got smashed.
SPEAKER_01:I don't plan on doing that.
SPEAKER_03:My boy looks scared. Anyway.
SPEAKER_01:Is daddy gonna hit mommy?
SPEAKER_03:No. It was the other way around.
SPEAKER_04:I think I can confidently say I might never be that drunk again in my life. Nah, you will. I don't know.
SPEAKER_02:You will. I was.
SPEAKER_04:I just say we'll just keep it on table, bro. Well, no, I was because I was talking with Matt about this uh the other day, and he he said that same thing, and I was like, yeah, I don't I don't know if I would ever you might. I mean it might.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, don't say no.
SPEAKER_04:Never say never, never say always just have me get hit by an airplane tomorrow. It could happen. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Well Well, with this with this mood, it it probably will.
SPEAKER_04:It's not a mood. Like, am I taking it out on you guys now? No, you're not. No. No. I'm just taking out my diabetes on you, on your tax dollars.
SPEAKER_01:Speaking of tax dollars. Hey, welcome to episode number 68 of the Aver Spirit Podcast. This is the election night podcast. Do you want to check? Yeah, that's true. I don't want to check. I don't want to know. I don't want to talk about public.
SPEAKER_03:Let's just check and guess. What do you what do you think?
SPEAKER_01:Uh liberals are up.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Well, that's obvious. Um I don't know. Where are we sitting? I'll let you know how many seats have been counted, and you can do grok's not helping me with this.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, grok probably won't work. Until we might have to go to C PC.
SPEAKER_04:Election night. I have zero hope. Why are you dressed up like Jagmeat?
SPEAKER_01:Uh I put these, I so I was in a rush to get here, and I because I cut my hair, and then I showered, and then I put on the tightest pants I have. I barely fit these calves. My calves don't really have.
SPEAKER_03:What did you want to say when I walked in? They're a little tight.
SPEAKER_04:Can I tell you something odd I noticed about you the other day? I'd love to. You too. You have incredibly dexterous toes. You have high toe dexterity. Okay. Yeah, you kind of do. But actually, and I I don't like what you're doing right now.
SPEAKER_01:Why why did you notice that the other day? First of all.
SPEAKER_04:It was during yoga. Oh, that's you were staring at you were behind me. Yeah. I was like, fuck, he has like full control of his toes. Yeah. It's impressive. You don't? Not like that. Like the fact that you can spread your toesies like that.
SPEAKER_02:Did you say tozies?
SPEAKER_01:You know, I've always wondered, like, you know, you've seen those toe spreaders? Yeah. Why are those good? What why are those supposed to be good for you? What?
SPEAKER_04:Well, because I think if you walk on bare feet, your feet, your toes like spread out like display. Display. Whereas like I look like I'm wearing a fucking ski.
SPEAKER_01:Which is interesting because you walk doing just as much as you have been sh and being barefoot, you I I've noticed like people's feet change doing that a lot. For sure. So it'd be it's not so interesting that yours haven't.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, I think they have. Don't get me wrong. I think I've I've noticed my foot strength has gone up, and at some point I want to be the person that just wears wide toe box like shoes everywhere for every occasion. Yeah. It's just one of those things where I think you need to purposely train it to undo 30 plus years of pouring. Maybe that's why you run stiffly. Dude, I I think there's something to it. I think it's your hips. I think your hips are a little immobile.
SPEAKER_01:You think? Yeah. I actually think I have mobile hips. Uh no. What you seem like you have stiff hips. Why do I seem like I have stiff hips? Because you kind of walk like an old man a little bit.
SPEAKER_04:Do I? Yeah. I really, really?
unknown:Fuck.
SPEAKER_03:I mean, if there was ever like, let's say, in a faraway kind of ish video, you just running down maybe a road.
SPEAKER_01:Have you ever seen my cat walk? It's got like this weird like hip thing it does. And sometimes you do that. Fuck. I just think you need to do more yoga, bro. Uh, do we I've been looking the entire time and I I can't find it. How do you not find it, dude?
SPEAKER_03:You could probably find it on uh well no liberals won, but uh I want like to see the ride, like the seats and shit, you know? Um but it looks like seats and shit. What? Like I want to see what I had before I left my house on my TV. I want to see that because it was it was a nice readout. It was user-friendly.
SPEAKER_04:Was it CBC propaganda?
SPEAKER_03:Uh yeah. Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was. But we got three seats, three more seats in Alberta than we had last time. So, you know, we're getting there. We're getting there.
SPEAKER_04:Um, also how many more seats did Ontario get?
SPEAKER_03:Uh those liberal seats. Like additional seats? I ooh, who's technically we're all liberal fucks. Um I don't know. Ontario's a 122. I don't know what that means.
SPEAKER_01:So you need, I think I it was hurt, I think I heard you need 170 to win.
SPEAKER_03:172 for the majority. For the majority, right? So you can win with with less than 172, but you need it for the majority.
SPEAKER_02:Which is not what we want for them to have. Or screwed.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, no, let's give them a chance, you know? Maybe uh another 10 years or what? Hey, Harper was like, Harper had nine or ten before. So, you know, everyone's gotta get their time.
SPEAKER_01:So there's only 70, so there's like all these big numbers that appear, but only 70 of the 343 are actually called.
SPEAKER_04:That already seems like a lot.
SPEAKER_01:No, could because it's showing right now it's showing libs liberals of 153, conservatives 124. NDP? Six.
SPEAKER_03:Well, they gotta get 12. Uh if they don't get 12, they're no longer like an official opposition, I think. Like they don't.
SPEAKER_01:Well, the Bloc Quebec quis 22. What? Yeah. Okay. Uh, but apparently uh that only 70 are actually like official.
SPEAKER_03:We're screwed. We are, yeah. That's not looking good.
SPEAKER_01:Maybe we shouldn't have checked. Well, I don't know, man. Like uh I think I don't know.
SPEAKER_04:I don't know. Sorry. So have polls closed?
SPEAKER_03:Uh time zones exist though, that's the problem.
SPEAKER_01:I think BC is supposed to be actually it might have closed.
SPEAKER_03:Our polls here don't close till nine. Oh, really? Yeah, so I mean it'd be probably 10 o'clock here by the time they close out there, I guess. But it doesn't matter. They'll have enough seats that have been officially counted to determine who's gonna win, probably. I've never seen one where it's like neck and neck the whole way, and like when they count BC, this is gonna be it. It's always like decided before they get to Manitoba.
SPEAKER_01:I just it's so fine funny looking at other people who have like the absolute opposite uh opinion on this. It's not because I don't understand them. Yeah, I don't either. This is a dude who on from Twitter who posted, Canada has spoken. Canadians have chosen Mark Carney, a renowned economist over a career politician. Thanks, Canada, for not choosing mega type toxic politics.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:I have some legitimate angry. I don't like that politics makes me feel like this.
SPEAKER_01:I know, isn't that weird? Because you're like, I don't I don't understand that human. Like they're I don't understand their viewpoint.
SPEAKER_04:And I feel like they've just said something so contrary to what makes sense. It just gives me this like fucking.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, but just let them have their moment.
SPEAKER_04:Because when they hit they've had nine years of their moment, Jason.
SPEAKER_03:Let them have their moment. They hit send. It's out there, they felt proud of themselves when they posted that.
SPEAKER_04:Whatever.
SPEAKER_03:I'm just yeah, we're screwed.
SPEAKER_04:Because they're they're tribe one.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, well, we're on the plane. The pilot's flying, and it's a liberal pilot. He's flying. We can't do anything about it. We're just gonna be on the plane for another four years, or not four years, sorry. Till the next election. Um I can't actually find results though. I don't know. Yeah, I can't either. I've given up and uh I'm ready to move on to something else. Here's a here's the I have I have something to make him feel better about it.
SPEAKER_01:Let me read you this liberal poem. Want to do crime? Vote liberal a fourth time. Gotta legal guns with liberals, no need to run. Can't afford rent or a house? Don't worry. Lots of tent cities to browse. Worried about mass immigration. Canada's well on its path to declination. Declin declinion? I can't even say that word. Declination. What is he reading rainbow? What's going on over there? I can't read that word. I don't know what that word is. Declin.
SPEAKER_04:Do you think if you just try saying it a sixth time, it'll come out right?
SPEAKER_01:I don't know what it is. I don't even know what it means.
SPEAKER_03:D the results just popped up.
SPEAKER_02:What?
SPEAKER_03:Well, the the my thing finally refreshed. It's got 153 liberal, 131 conservative. Which makes no sense. Whatever. I'm done. I'm done looking at it.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, they're gonna stop looking at this. Uh election night uh podcast. We're no longer gonna talk about elections because it's so infuriating. It's just frustrating.
SPEAKER_03:So my kids and my wife purchased something off Amazon and didn't tell me about it. I got home uh today and I look in our pantry. Maid and no, I wish I have a book done our pantry, and there is a lockbox in there now in our pantry uh with a three-digit code that everybody in the family but me knows. So if you feel bad, and this is it right here, this is the one they ordered off our off our fucking cart. If you feel bad about snacking at home, you don't have to worry about it because my family has put a lockbox in the pantry. So, because the kids don't know I like I like I like the gummies, but when dad gets into those, he gets into all the treats. And so they and I I've eaten a lot of their food. Um so they they're done with it, and they and they they spent their allowance money on a lockbox in the pantry.
SPEAKER_04:That is hilarious.
SPEAKER_03:So you're not doing that bad.
SPEAKER_04:How does that make you feel?
SPEAKER_03:I don't care. I'm just gonna I bought I bought I bought my own. It's gonna be here tomorrow, and I'm gonna put it in there and put and it's see-through, and I'm gonna put the coolest candy in there. It's gonna drive them insane.
SPEAKER_04:Did you actually buy your own?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, it's clear, like clear walls though, so I can lock up better candy and put it beside it. Because fuck them. But that was good of them to like, you know, come together as a group and and and and do that.
SPEAKER_01:That's hilarious. But I I feel like you could crack that code.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, it's it's a it's a chicken chit lock.
SPEAKER_01:001. Where did you 002?
SPEAKER_03:Oh, it's gonna be one of their birthdays. I mean, they're not that smart. They're like under 10. What are they gonna do?

SPEAKER_03:It's this one. They bought the they bought the tinted version. Uh, so it's like plasticky walls. They bought the tinted version, but I bought the clear one.
unknown:Oh.
SPEAKER_03:And I'm gonna get their favorite candies. And I know all my put them in there and lock it away and just flaunt it.
SPEAKER_04:And your password's gonna be much harder.
SPEAKER_03:Well, yeah. One, two, four. If I oh yeah, but yeah, that's what's going on with me. So don't feel bad about your snacking because people are locking things up in my house.
SPEAKER_04:I wish somebody would lock stuff up in my house. It is more because I don't have any containers.
SPEAKER_03:It is just as secure as the firearms in my house. They're all in a locked container, is the kids' candy.
SPEAKER_04:Hopefully, nobody leaves with this container itself.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, they didn't bolt it to the wall though.
SPEAKER_01:Uh, you can smash that easy.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I could. I could. That would show them.
SPEAKER_01:Um, we went to shoppers the other day, and there was an aisle with Easter candy that was like severely discounted. Yes. I made with a lot. What's your go-to Easter candy? Dude, there was like the Lynn, the Lind like um chocolate eggs. Oh, yeah. That are like$14 when they're regular cost. They're on stair for like$4.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, get them.
SPEAKER_01:I bought them. So delicious. And then I bought some Smarty eggs. They're like chocolate with like Smarty crunches in it. They were good. Oh yeah. I could muck a cream egg right now.
SPEAKER_03:I hate cream eggs. I love cream. Thank you. Thank you. I know he hates cream eggs, but I love it.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, he hates cream eggs. Why do you in an egg?
SPEAKER_03:I haven't I didn't do the McFlurry one.
SPEAKER_04:You've never had a cream egg McFlurry?
SPEAKER_03:No. What? I love cream eggs. Yeah. I don't I've given up on McFlurries. They don't mix them. They do like three spins and it's it's not a good mix.
SPEAKER_04:And the fucking ice cream machine is always broken. Yeah, it is. Always. Do you trust those people to not spit in your McFlurries? I trust them not to spit in it, but I worked at Second Cup for a while. From the Humble Bragg, no big deal. Brace to hemp with a hemp bracelet on it.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, it's not grande, it's like larger.
SPEAKER_01:Longer hair.
SPEAKER_04:You know the things that spin the like the ice cap machine?
SPEAKER_03:Sure. Oh, yeah, like the the the spindle thing that actually moves around.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, so they had like their own version of ice cap machine, which is just you basically add like a bag of sugar and a bag of water, and it just turns it into crystals. We clean that thing once.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, you think that's why it's down?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, but how dirty does it get? It was disgusting. Why?
SPEAKER_04:It's just I it's just because it's just it's like the gunk and stuff that just kind of like uh infiltrates the corners. So now just imagine at Tim Hortons how infrequently these things are cleaned and how uh unlike you think your minimum wage employee is uh thoroughly cleaning this. Machine.
SPEAKER_01:If they uh care about their job and they're looking to find they're looking for work, then yeah.
SPEAKER_03:The Westside ones are a pr pretty tight ship over there. They're getting after it.
SPEAKER_04:If they listen to Jocko on the side and they I don't I don't think I don't think the person working at your Tim Hortons They might have aspirations.
SPEAKER_02:No.
SPEAKER_01:They're just happy with their job.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I just want to say they're disgusting. How do you think those minimum wage workers are gonna live in a world where liberals are our government again for another?
SPEAKER_02:They're gonna love they're gonna raise minimum wage. It's gonna be amazing.
SPEAKER_04:Because we're gonna fucking pay for them with our taxes.
SPEAKER_03:You have this big feeling that you let's give them a chance. I don't like taxes. Let's give them a chance. I don't want to pay more taxes. Oh, the liberals. Let's give them a chance. They're gonna get it right this time. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Fourth times of charm.
SPEAKER_03:What else are we gonna do?
SPEAKER_01:Well, we can't do anything.
SPEAKER_03:Exactly.
SPEAKER_04:We can't do anything. We're just a bunch of sheep.
SPEAKER_03:Let's just enjoy it and try to try to find all the deductions through the year so we don't have to pay a lot of taxes at the end of the year.
SPEAKER_04:What if we started what if this podcast became a not-for-profit?
SPEAKER_03:We're not making money right now. What are you?
SPEAKER_04:How does that difference? It's not for profit. How does that difference from what we do? Well, like all the money we we make right now, we can keep tax from.
SPEAKER_01:No, we need to do be like an NGO that the government just gives money to for no reason.
SPEAKER_04:I think we should.
SPEAKER_01:Actually, we're for sale. Uh we're like the CB, we're like the CBC. You give us enough money, I'll say whatever you want. Yeah. Let's sell out.
SPEAKER_04:Do you need to reach 20 to 30 listeners per month?
SPEAKER_01:Because if so, you know, like that'll come. Because I mean, with the money, people will follow. So all of a sudden they find out that, hey, the government actually gave the the average superior podcast, uh, they're getting a million dollars a year. And you're like, per personal.
SPEAKER_03:Would you do this? Uh-huh. Would they like, yeah, we'll give you the million dollars a year. Like you were approached by a company, right? Here's your million dollars a year. Except, guess what? What you have to pass some messaging on.
SPEAKER_01:What kind of messaging?
SPEAKER_03:Well, here's the thing: you also have to wear a COVID mask while doing it because it's a video podcast. So you're required for a COVID mask, and you're required for how much money am I making? One million each of us, one million per year.
SPEAKER_01:How long do I have to do it for?
SPEAKER_03:This is just a mask. That's all you have to do for one episode. How are you guys not saying yes? It's just a mask for one million dollars for a year.
SPEAKER_01:Well, I'm I just need to know how long I'm locked into this for.
SPEAKER_03:It's three years.
SPEAKER_01:Three years.
SPEAKER_03:So it's three million, three years. You got a COVID mask on every time you're on camera.
SPEAKER_04:How many times are we on camera? Huh? Like like once.
SPEAKER_03:And nobody knows if there's an NDA saying that you can't tell people you put the mask on because it's a requirement of the contract. You're just wearing a mask and nobody knows why. And we're all assuming we can't talk about it. No, you can't talk about it. Do we all of us wear masks or just JB? No, all of us.
SPEAKER_01:I'm okay with that.
SPEAKER_03:I'd be good with it. Fuck, whatever.
SPEAKER_01:But like I can still say whatever I want.
SPEAKER_03:100%.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, you could say you could literally say through your mask, masks don't work.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. Yes.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, I mean.
SPEAKER_03:But now you have to be pro-mask.
SPEAKER_01:Um in what way? Because they look cool, or do I have to be pro-mask because they work? Or can I just be pro masked because I think they look cool? Ah, work.
SPEAKER_03:Yep. So I have to lie. Flu season's coming.
SPEAKER_04:Does he have to wear it to other places? No, just on nice job, CJ.
SPEAKER_03:Yes, you do. Yes, you do. I think I'm out. I couldn't do it. I it pisses me off.
SPEAKER_04:For a million tax-free?
SPEAKER_03:Okay, uh no. You get a tax, they're taxing it. They're taxing that. So you're getting like 500,000. Carney's getting 500. Congratulations.
SPEAKER_01:He's gotta pay back his 250 million dollar loan to China.
SPEAKER_03:So do you get still like a visceral reaction? Because if you're in public and I walk around and I see people wearing you do, thank God. I felt I felt like such a- But it's the whole package to me. If they're wearing a mask and it's like, you know, this person looks like they got it together, I'm like, okay, I'm not that mad. No, I'm still mad. That makes it worse. Most of the time, yeah, you're right, it does. But most of the time it's not the whole package. They have the mask and the sweatpants and everything.
SPEAKER_01:So if it's like the whole package, like meaning like they seem like a normal person other that other than they're wearing a mask. Yeah, you you run by, you see like him. I'm like, I'm angry. You I'm not angry, I'm just like, what is wrong with you? However, if it's like kind of somebody who looks like they maybe have some issues, I kind of feel bad for them. Because I feel like they have been they have fallen prey to the propaganda and think it actually does something for them.
SPEAKER_04:And I feel sad. Or like the old lady who's wearing a mask and still has like rubber gloves on.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I feel really sad for her.
SPEAKER_03:In her car by herself. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:They they the the fear-mongering one.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I feel really bad for her. Uh, I was on a run, uh can't remember what day it was. Yeah, sometimes. Uh Tuesday last week. It was Tuesday morning. And uh with our friend Jeff here from the podcast. And uh we were on this uh Hill Parts trail, and this running group goes past us, and they were all like 60. Well, actually, that's a lie because one of them works at the nursing home and he's not 60. He looks 60. He's getting eager if you hear this. Wait, wait, wait, if you ever listen to this, I'm sorry. It's funny though. Uh he looks older than he is, and he but he's running with a couple of some people who were a lot older, and this is one older lady, she had to have been in her 60s, just powering through these freaking hills, just going hard. I'm like, that is what I want to be in 20, 30 years. Just keep going, just pushing through strong. Yeah, made me think. Made me think. Because I mean, because that's one option. As I mean, I mean, you're in obviously it's not always in your control because you can get sick and things can happen, but uh as much as it is in your control, uh the option is to continue to be active and and build muscle and or maintain muscle, if anything, and just keep doing stuff. And then hopefully when you are 70, 80, you can still be trekking through the coolies with some walking poles and having a good time, uh, or wearing uh washing like diswash gloves and a face mask and and uh toque and you know having walker can barely make it.
SPEAKER_04:Boy, tough choice here.
SPEAKER_01:That's my point, is like that's my point. I'm not saying again, I'm not saying that that's always within the control of us because obviously people get sick and things happen for sure that you are beyond the control. But I think a lot of those people who end up that way also weren't very active and weren't pushing them their body throughout their lives. Um, so it's it's it's sad.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, and they should also just just go through an old folks' home and just talk. That there's a lot of lessons they were missing. Oh, for sure there is, you know what I mean? For sure. Yeah. We should go to an old folks' home and just get a random on here.
SPEAKER_01:That would be actually pretty funny.
SPEAKER_03:It would be, and just talk about like life, like a good, well-spoken older person and talk about life lessons.
SPEAKER_01:That's actually not a terrible idea.
SPEAKER_03:That's not a terrible idea at all. We should have these conversations off the air.
SPEAKER_01:Find somebody who So no one takes the idea. It'd be interesting to have like find somebody who would be you know decent on like conversational in a podcast setting.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Because old people can't do things that young people can.
SPEAKER_03:No, we'll just have to do it earlier in the day.
SPEAKER_01:No. I I just think you have to screen that somehow. Like talk to them first.
SPEAKER_03:Like you worry about like a secret reason. Like, I'm not sure we say let's just start throwing up bad words.
SPEAKER_01:Well, they probably would some of them would hey Jim, you can't say that anymore. That's that's that's gone. That actually would be a really good interesting idea.
SPEAKER_03:Who do we know that's like a like a uh that age?
SPEAKER_01:But we need like a well we we need somebody who's not like just kind of like getting old. We need somebody who's like we're sitting 80s, like late 70s or 80s, but can still just chop it up. Yeah, you know, that's what's I find and honestly, probably most of them could because that that um age group just grew up having conversations. Like that's where I remember going to the uh elevator um with my grandpa, the dropping off some grain, and then he'd sit for an hour and they talk about nothing. Just the weather. I love the elevator trips. The weather and how much is weed going for these days, and uh the government and I also don't want to talk about those things though. Sure, but it was just in a it was just in a way to like they it was like Yeah, but what else are you gonna talk about 20 years, 30 years ago?
SPEAKER_04:I don't know, they just I think the same stuff we talk about.
SPEAKER_03:I feel yeah. That the weather and politics, what else you got?
SPEAKER_04:Like that's but like my vision of what you're talking about.
SPEAKER_03:And the Manitoba Grain Board. That's what we totally talk about.
SPEAKER_04:But they're not talking about like, hey man, like what values are important to you or you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01:And they I think they but I think they get there. Like I think that was the thing that's interesting is that um that generation was just it was a lot better at just sitting down around a table and having talking about whatever kind came up, right? Um I I think I think we're I think obviously our friend group is really good with that, and um we can disagree and we can still be you know friends, and and I I'm trying to raise my kids so that they can have conversations and like not so my son's not as good as my daughter. My daughter's pretty good at just sitting around with a group of adults and being able to chat, right? Um, whereas my son's not yet and he's younger, so it's maybe they'll come. But it's just it's very interesting to see the difference, especially the generations now who don't have those conversations with people. Yeah, like and and not only the sorry, it's not only they don't have the conversations, they're not exposed to those conversations because people don't have dinner parties where they invite four or five families over. I was just thinking that. Yeah, the kids sit around and they so they're supposed to be playing, but they're actually sitting and listening to the parents talk to the table. And that's what I find is super interesting. Uh, a couple of times where we went over to um some adults' place and all the kids came over, and we didn't just sit and have some drinks, sitting and shooting the shit and talking about whatever came up. And next thing you know, you kind of realize that like the kids are kind of just all sitting in the living room, not just really just hanging out and listening to the conversation, they're not really like doing anything, but and then afterwards I was asking, and they're like, Actually, no, I like I kind of just like listening to like what you guys are talking about. And I think most kids don't get exposed to that enough anymore, so they don't even realize that's a thing, or that's even and it's a bit of a skill, right? Because you need to be able to be fluid and uh if someone says something you don't agree with, it doesn't well what what are you talking about and get into an argument, but it could be like hey, well, what do you mean by that? Or like like asking it in a way that is you know, you should I don't necessarily agree, but like try to explain it to me. And so it's it's interesting because I most kids don't aren't exposed to that to that at all, and because of that, they don't see the value in it or were are ever able to develop it.
SPEAKER_03:Like what why does that happen less though? Because if I think back, and and you grew up in a small town too, so like I remember going with the family to so-and-so's house, and then they got kids similar age, so we're just playing, and then it's like it's like eight or like sometimes I fell asleep. Yeah, 100%. And and then you just go home. Yeah, and I've only done that a handful of time with my kids. Why like I guess there were there was less to do for our parents too on the weekends and stuff.
SPEAKER_01:Completely. We're so everyone is so busy in their own little world. Yeah, fuck being busy. And it's but it's like is it a good busy? I don't know if it is. Like, it's not. We we revolve, and this is the other thing. Our lives revolve around our kids. And I don't know if that's good. I think that you should give your uh and I'm and I'm guilty of it, so I'm saying it and we do it. But like I think we need to give our kids opportunities to do things and like you know, put them in sports and like go to the basketball tournaments and sh stuff like that. But like when that becomes everything that you do, then you're a lot, your your everything you are, everything that is in your social world is no longer there, and it's the it's on the back burner. So your kids see you essentially being a conduit for them to do things. Yeah. Versus my parents have their own lives, they do their own things. Um, yeah, they support me, we go do things. Hey, but sometimes guess what? I'm getting dragged to Uncle Joe's house where I don't really want to be, because because they're gonna go have a dinner like a dinner or they're gonna sit and have coffee with them. And like I'm guilty because we don't do that either. And and I but I think back exactly what you're saying. I remember going to my Uncle Benny's house.
SPEAKER_03:I was just thinking the boredom you'd have. Yeah. Remember being bored at like another adult's house and have nothing to do with it. And I'm like, I have these. It was always a crappy box of toys they brought out that were at least like really old toys, and that's all they had in their house.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, and it was all farmers we were going to visit too.
SPEAKER_03:And what would you not do? Complain to your parents.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, or you could I mean what are you gonna do? What would you do? You're going you're going. And I remember, and there's no TV. It was not like they could throw Netflix on because it was like CBC was on and that was it, because it was seven o'clock or something. So Libro media. Yeah, I know. But like I guess it but I f I I this is the weird part about getting old, is like you realize that you're talking like old people. You know what I mean? Like you realize this nostalgia idea of like, is that was that better? Is that and and I think that there is an argument to be had to say that there it was in a lot of ways, but I I'm guessing every generation has felt that way. You know what I mean? Like our parents probably felt that way because we had more, I don't know, more technology, even though we had less than they have now. But I think every generation probably goes to that iteration of like and we talked, actually, Tim mentioned this last podcast, like that that 100%. Every generation complains about the one before them and like thinks that or the one, yeah, the one that's coming after them saying they don't they don't know how good they have it, they but at the same time kind of longing for some of the things that they grew up with, thinking that that was a better way to raise somebody. And but I but and again, this is probably how everyone feels. I wonder I really do feel like the technology specifically and the uh immediate gratification of everything. I want to listen to this song right now. I want to listen watch this show right now. I want to watch 1,000 episodes of this thing right now. Um, that is doing us an insane disservice.
SPEAKER_03:I think it is. We're we're watching, we're rewatch no, rewat, whatever, we're watching as a family like the old uh 19 early 1990s, 1980s prices rights, just on you, like that's what we'll have on if we want to watch the show together. Because the kids think it's bananas because you know it's fun. They get bored, like they'll bring and a new car, and with the family food, we're like, Yeah, and then they start talking about the car. Yeah, and the kids are like, just get to it already. I'm like, no, they're just describing the car for 15 seconds, guys. And like that, they're like, oh come on. Like they're actually they just they can't be bored.
SPEAKER_01:It's driving me nuts. The instant jet gratification drives me crazy, and I I do my little pushback whenever I can, like in in my vehicle, they don't get to pick a song if I'm driving.
SPEAKER_03:Oh yeah, we we raw dog our four and a half hour drive to my wife's radio every time. What's on the radio? We'll listen to that. What's on the radio? Mom and dad are playing the radio. Like it is, it is a prison in there for them. But we do it and it's and they just they're just better after, like they just seem more patient, and there's no screens for like four and a half hours and like one bathroom break, and that is it. And it's awesome.
SPEAKER_04:Do you guys find yourself when you go to say the doctor's office or whatever, that immediate like phone out?
SPEAKER_01:I'm trying to force I'm trying to force myself to be less that way. Actually, I noticed that the other day uh during our training last week. Uh we were all sitting on the the purulator truck, and uh I I kind of like I was like pulled it out and I was looking at something quickly, and I kind of looked up, and literally every single person had their face in their phone. I'm like, oh, this is disgusting. And I put it back in my pocket.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, man. I just I'm the same.
SPEAKER_01:I I'm good at it specifically when it like when we do things like we go out for supper. Like, I won't, I'm like, I I'm like no one's touching their phone. Put your freaking phone down. Sure, if we're like Boston Pizza, there's like TVs and stuff and scream, whatever. But like, get off your phones. This is not what's happening right now. Um, so like it's weird because in certain circumstances I have no issue with that, but then you find yourself like just like and what am I look- what am I looking at? There's nothing important.
SPEAKER_03:What are you accomplishing by checking your feed?
SPEAKER_01:You know, something happened on Instagram in the last five seconds that I didn't miss. And it's like, why did I open even open that app? There's nothing there that I need to see.
unknown:I know.
SPEAKER_04:I just have like the routine of like I go through like that. I know. Yeah, still no emails. Yeah, Instagram looks the same because you were waiting for that one important email. I know.
SPEAKER_03:It's weird. It's so messed up. I I rearranged my apps the other day just because I've been doing that. And if you rearrange your apps, you have to think about it more. And so I don't like at the stoplights and all stuff. I still do the Rubik's Cube because I I don't think like I have to look. Oh, where is Facebook? And I gotta like, I can't find it. Ah fuck, I'll do it later. And it actually helped me. That's funny.
SPEAKER_04:It's so bad. You need you need an app on your phone that just randomly like moves all the time.
SPEAKER_03:Icons around.
SPEAKER_04:That would be funny.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, that would actually help a lot.
unknown:I don't know.
SPEAKER_03:There's two good ideas that we've had.
SPEAKER_04:Fuck, we're on fire. What was the first idea?
SPEAKER_03:The getting the senior citizen to come install. Like a good senior citizen.
SPEAKER_04:I think we have to go to the senior citizen.
SPEAKER_01:Like we have to have.
SPEAKER_03:They can hand you.
SPEAKER_01:We have to develop a relationship at some point before the.
SPEAKER_03:No, we're just gonna go drop business cards under doors.
SPEAKER_01:We don't have business cards. Okay.
SPEAKER_04:Speaking of speaking of this, we've been getting some emails on our email account of people wanting to come in.
SPEAKER_01:Are these the random ones that like want to do it over Skype and stuff? Or like are they like from California?
SPEAKER_04:I don't know if they're not scams.
SPEAKER_01:I think they gotta be. The one the c well, the one lady who d did have a book.
unknown:Okay.
SPEAKER_01:Like I looked it up and there was actually a book.
SPEAKER_04:But the other one has emailed us something like three times and this weird, you know, they say it sounds like it's the person talking in first person, but then they refer to them in third person, like, yeah, like J JB's a great guy, like you'd love to have him on.
SPEAKER_03:It's like maybe it's their agent.
SPEAKER_04:I don't it's so weird. I I want to answer them, but I also if you you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. So why would never we would we would if you're in the town we live in, please come on. But I I don't think we're ever gonna be doing a Skype podcast.
SPEAKER_01:Uh we are not set up for that at the moment, that's for sure.
SPEAKER_03:I I used to listen to a couple guys who did a Skype podcast, and it was it was pretty terrible. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just the quality of the audio and stuff. Yeah. Not good. The content was good, JV.
SPEAKER_04:It was just the I feel like we did a couple decent ones.
SPEAKER_03:You did a couple, no, you did a lot of good ones, but just the quality was not there for Skype.
SPEAKER_04:But we could go do editions at the old folks' home, go have a breakfast, sit down, be like, hey, you're good at talking.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, they get up the same time as us, usually like 5-5 thirty, so we're we're good.
SPEAKER_04:You could do an early morning one.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, well we ha we kind of have to.
SPEAKER_04:Do you think the handy bus comes out here?
SPEAKER_03:Uh it's off-road.
SPEAKER_01:Uh just going back for a second, I I think that something we should do is uh be intentional about getting families together again.
SPEAKER_03:Just do it.
SPEAKER_01:You know what I mean? Like buy monthly or something.
SPEAKER_03:Just we just need somebody who lives on kind of like an acreage with like a bigger house. First of all, that's kind of a negative.
SPEAKER_01:No, I'm just kinda oh, yes.
SPEAKER_03:And someone who's got nice stuff and doesn't mind just a fleet. Yeah, just a fleet of kids messing up, putting hands out when you're talking about hands. Putting hand prints on everything and like that. But here's the thing, I don't like hanging out with people. I like you guys, I like our friends, but I don't want to go to another couple's house unless I know them like really well.
SPEAKER_04:Like making it a production. I could see myself attending if it was sold as hey, we're going to JB's house, just fucking bring your shit. I don't care.
SPEAKER_03:That's what I like. Like I like showing up wearing this. Like you guys can wear socks. I I don't know why you guys aren't wearing socks, but you guys wear socks. Yeah, but if you're going to an event, you wear socks.
SPEAKER_04:This isn't an event. This is my house. I'm not wearing socks in my house.
SPEAKER_03:You don't I am never barefoot. Is that weird? I'm always at home. Yeah, that is weird. You go barefoot at home. Almost. I'm essentially like a never nude. With I I always have socks on. I I got rough, I got rough feet. You have smooth feet. You put
SPEAKER_01:A long t-shirt on before you take your pants off.
SPEAKER_03:Tobias? No, like I always wear socks all the time.
SPEAKER_01:So, anyways, you want to be more intentional.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, sorry.
SPEAKER_01:I just think that there's a ton of value in like I we I think honestly we do a good job. We we're lucky this is this is a thing where we can just sit and talk, but um and we can bring invite people, and you know we do our you know shop beers every now and then, which has been rare, but still when we do it, it's a lot of fun. Um but I just think there's something more about having like that cu the community of like not just us, but like all the whole all everyone with the kids and kids and watching. I mean you're at a bit of a disadvantage because your your child's so small, but she would also be she'd also be like the hit of the party because all the older kids be like, oh my god, can I help her? She'd be like doted on, right?
SPEAKER_04:And being nearly two, I think she can start to participate in some of the things. Oh for sure. She's a doted. Dote.
SPEAKER_01:That's how you know I'm old.
SPEAKER_03:I think we should do that more. Just I agree. Because like the thing is, like, don't make it product. Like, I like because if like if you and your wife are like, hey, come over, we'd I'd come over, I'd wear this. And it's all good.
SPEAKER_01:What do you think you'd be wearing? Like a bow tie?
SPEAKER_03:Like, no, but like there's there's certain people that like we have friends like this, um, that you'd invite them over, and they spend a lot of time getting ready. And it's like a production when they leave, and I'm just come on. Not none of our like close friends, but I know people who have had over, and I'm wearing this when they show up and they got like nice stuff on, and I don't know. I just like feel like they're putting too much effort in. I just want to hang out.
SPEAKER_01:But but I guess like that that we didn't really answer that question. I mean we kind of answered it, but like what, why are we so in as a society so terrible at that? Or is it yeah, why are we so terrible at that? Like about that, about that the gathering of you know people. We're too busy. And that we're way busier at the same time that happened. I'd be going to Uncle Benny's with so-and-so. There's also farmer Bill from over there that I don't even know. There's some guy that just happened to drive past, saw a bunch of vehicles, so he's like, hey, what's going on here, guys? Yeah, that's true. Yeah, like that stuff just does not happen. We're too we're too busy.
SPEAKER_03:I I honestly think we're just too busy. I that might be the cat, like the thing that's preventing. Yeah, just stop being busy. I have no idea. I feel like we're all just kind of in it and there's no way to get out of it.
SPEAKER_01:That's the problem, is like how because that's that is a sus the society we currently live in that's just like being busy or keeping our kids. I don't know. Go to a different country. Like different it's probably that's for sure true. Look at it this way, though. Also, community, sorry, like it'd be like a small like farm community. I bet you they're very similar. Like there's still the rec center on Fridays, has a dance, or you know, something like that.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, is the Bond spiel on? Well, guess where everyone is. Completely and just join Alliance Club and we'll just do volunteer.
SPEAKER_01:I actually saw a volunteer thing at uh at the Legion and I debated doing it. We don't have time for that. I think I do. What I currently do. I like I could do it like nights. I got it doesn't have to be a ton, but like once a month. I can find something.
SPEAKER_04:But that's our once-a-month family get together. That's the problem, is there's so many things. I I am I like your idea. I feel like it'd be very hard to accomplish because I think we have to I sorry, let me finish. No, I was just gonna say because everybody's so not gonna be able to line up their schedules.
SPEAKER_01:We have trouble letting it two hours. Right, but that is why we you say this is the date, you throw out that invite to a bigger expanse than who you would expect to show up, like your close five or four buddies or whatever with their families, you throw that out to like ten couples. And maybe it's the ones that you're not super tight with, but that's awesome. Maybe they maybe it's like somebody who you like and you know, and you don't really know their family, and they decide, yeah, you know what, we'll come, we'll come over for a quick burger, and uh the kids can run around and chase each other with sticks or whatever. And then that's kind of like in the next thing you know, that grows.
SPEAKER_03:Like I just Friday of every month.
SPEAKER_01:I don't think that could be a hindrance to doing it. I don't think I think if that that's why it never happens, and this is I think we're bad at this. This is why like the garage the garage shop beers thing just never happens because we're like, okay, well, only this is why we did it when you two couldn't come. Because it's like, well, I'm not you have to because I'm not knock I'm not we're not not doing it because a couple guys can't come. This is the night, whoever can show up, show up. If it's three people, sweet. We'll it'll probably be a quick night, but we'll sit and talk for two hours, um, and that'll be good. However, if it works out and the vast majority can come, awesome. It sucks if you're the one that has busy and can't show up for sure. But I mean that that like well, if it's not perfect, we can't do it, is just stopping you from doing anything, right? Fair point.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, you said it wasn't something there's a reference to boulders or stones, you have to step over boulders, something like that.
SPEAKER_04:Like, what was that is that stop stepping over uh boulders to pick up pebbles? Yeah, something like that. Yeah, something like that.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I like that. Just do a date like last Friday every month. Rotational hosting requirement. Like so you gotta host once every six weeks, you know what I mean? Like that kind of thing. It's easy.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, and like it's it's interesting because I think there's in every couple, there's probably somebody who's more uh excited or willing to host, and somebody who's probably less excited or willing to host. Um, meaning like maybe you're the one who was like, Yeah, this might be over and your wife might be like, eh, I just this is a lot of work. Um, but I think that it's like it's like anything, you almost will never regret it after the fact. For sure. You know what I mean? Like you might be you might like be stressed or not stressed, you might just be like, oh, okay, well, we gotta feel like everything needs to be cleaned up and I gotta do this and gotta do that, um, for the house, for people to come over and that kind of thing, which is you know, sure, I understand that feeling. Um, but in the end, I feel like if they're especially if it becomes a habitual thing where it's like, hey, we this is the thing, this is the what we're doing today this month, every month we do it. It'll be like that, like, oh, but I know every time we do it, we have a good conversation, we have fun, we eat a c eat for a bit. And honestly, we're all old and our kids are are kind of younger, so everyone's like, I'm by 10. It's not like you're like, okay, it's two in the morning, dude. Get out of my house. Like, that's probably never gonna happen because of our our age.
SPEAKER_04:I do miss those nights. We got a lot like when uh playing cards, right? Where you maybe you should be drunk, right? Like, oh, it's fucking 3 a.m. But like we're having a good time. We're just gonna keep playing cards. I also do long for that. Cards, cards is one of the most fun social things I think you can do with friends. It is the best, and we never do it, yeah. Because that also is the thing, it's the bridge of like, hey, I'm kind of doing an activity, but we're also just kind of bullshitting, so we can do this for hours on end.
SPEAKER_03:I can't do that. Yeah, or some, you know, get some dice out and roll some dice.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah. Yeah, everybody hates dice. I love it.
SPEAKER_01:So I don't like Liar's Dice, is okay. There's another one.
SPEAKER_03:I've never played Liar's Dice with a table full of people who all know how to play Liar's Dice. It's always one or two people who fucking don't. Yeah, and you and the funnest part is explaining it to them and watching them just suffer through it. It's amazing.
SPEAKER_04:Because it it makes there's no good way to explain it. Sorry, so what you want me to lie? Like, but that's not what's there. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:But you just say it's that'd be coming up on the end of May for us. Yeah, don't fuck your neighbor.
SPEAKER_04:Well, I mean, don't fuck your neighbor.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, we're the only we're the only city or nursing home that plays those rules, and I and people hate them. I love them. So when you this yeah, you'll that's good. Do you ever remember like back back in the day waking up to the DVD menu? Like you're hanging out with your friends and you have like a not a sleepover, but like you yeah, you sleep over at their house or whatever, and you wake up and the DVD menu is playing over on loop or whatever because you fell asleep watching a movie. That's another thing I miss about those social times.
SPEAKER_01:I remember the first n time I stayed over at a buddy's house for a birthday party.
SPEAKER_03:How old were you? How do you remember your first sleepover?
SPEAKER_01:The reason I remember it is because Were you 16? No, I was I would have been probably 12 or 13.
SPEAKER_03:All right, why do you remember it?
SPEAKER_01:I remember because uh Dance Mix 93 was on a tape, because that's what there was back then, tapes, and he had bought Dance Mix 93. We played that thing non-stop from the beginning of the night till the end of the night. We stayed up all night, we played mini sticks in the basement, and there was a racing game on the Super Nintendo system that was like is like because those they wouldn't save, so you had to like play it consistently to try to beat it. And so we played that thing for like just consistently, like pass it off for like seven hours straight. And I remember that because it was the first time I've ever I ever stayed up all night, and I was like, we didn't go to bed, so I was just like, and that's why I is my buddy Brady Sprout. So if you're ever listened to this dude, um he actually still lives in the same family home, like they the same family like land. Uh there's like three like his like parents live there. He built a module home over here, and like his grandpa, I don't know if he's still around, but they it's a really interesting, like almost a little like commune with his whole family was kind of neat. Anyway, uh that's that's the first party I stayed. I remember you just remember it because I stayed up all night. The first time I've ever stayed up all night all night in my life.
SPEAKER_03:Ministix were the 93.
SPEAKER_01:Best dance mix ever.
SPEAKER_03:Goldeneye. I remember mini sticks.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, we played that too.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, what else do we do? Mini sticks, goldeneye. Yeah, that was like the two. I don't know. What was your sleepover activities?
SPEAKER_04:A lot of a lot of goldeneye.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, goldeneye was it was the go-to. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Or video games. A lot of scrapping. Like we wouldn't mini sticks, we would just full on scrap. Oh, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:But you we we always as we got older, it came like we did the knees sometimes, so you had to play on your knees. If it was a small person's house, like somebody's house where we just had to use the hallway, you had to just go on your knees and do mini sticks that way. Okay. There was uh, yeah, it was great. No, it was just violent altercations. That's awesome. I think we watched Gremlings as well. Gremlings?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Oh grim gremlins.
SPEAKER_01:Gremlins? Grim It's Gremlins. It's not like Lings. There's no Lings.
SPEAKER_03:It's not like lemmings.
SPEAKER_01:I feel like this was like 1994. I think it was like, yeah, that's my thought.
SPEAKER_03:Well, Dance Fix 93 being hot off the press.
SPEAKER_01:No, I don't know. How old are you in 94?
SPEAKER_04:Like six. Yeah, I was 12. I think we're talking more like 1998, 2000.

SPEAKER_03:It's I I feel like you shouldn't pay. Probably. But you obviously don't, because I think your wife knows the inside the ins and outs.
SPEAKER_01:We sold that our rental.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, see, capital gains? Yeah. Oh, don't worry, Liberal's gonna take care of that. We're good.
SPEAKER_04:Your boy Mark Carney, new prime minister of the year. MC.
SPEAKER_01:Is that official?
SPEAKER_04:Uh I don't know, but I just looked while you were talking a while back and I saw a news article.
SPEAKER_03:Whatever, he's the prime minister. That's where we're at. It's all good.
SPEAKER_04:Okay, let's go home.
SPEAKER_03:Let's have some fun.
SPEAKER_01:Fuck.
SPEAKER_03:It's not that bad. It's not gonna be that bad.
SPEAKER_01:Election day podcast in the books. We didn't talk about politics, which I want didn't want to.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, I didn't want to either. We we didn't talk about anything valuable except for the city.
SPEAKER_01:But if you found this valuable, and if you'd like to see CJ get back on the discipline train, hit us up at Average Superior on Twitter. Oh, sorry. Uh what's it called? Uh X or Instagrams.
SPEAKER_03:I'll send you a picture of my safe when it comes in so you can put it on the Instagram, you know, with my can with my candy and it.
SPEAKER_01:That's a good idea.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, screw those screw those candies. Does somebody want to run our Instagram for us? It's your job. I hate it so much.
SPEAKER_03:The amount of work to social media side of a company is important. Like it's ridiculous, eh?
SPEAKER_04:It's not because like really it would take me five minutes to do one post every week. Okay. I'm sure. He can't even get to the gym right now. He's like eating garbage. I mean an epic tailspin. I need to send help.
SPEAKER_01:Send help. We talked about this momentum. You gotta you gotta turn that momentum around. I can't. I just want to be fine. I wish I could remember, I wish I had a better memory. I just want to be fat. Listen, sometimes I think that life would be more comfortable. Well, of course it would be. Up to a point, and then all of a sudden, because diabetes.
SPEAKER_04:I I'm already loathing myself. I can feel I feel shittier every day.
SPEAKER_03:So how does getting more fat help you? I don't think.
SPEAKER_01:Because then you can just like sit on the couch and eat eat Cheetos.
SPEAKER_03:You think you're gonna become comfortable with being fat? No, I won't.
SPEAKER_04:I hate everything I'm feeling right now.
SPEAKER_01:Then fix it.
unknown:I can't.
SPEAKER_01:Shut up. You can? Yes, you can. I can, but I need to identify.
SPEAKER_04:I'm struggling to identify the cause of this. It doesn't matter.
SPEAKER_01:Here's the thing: it does not matter what the cause is. Just do the things you need to do. The cause, you can sort that out later. It does not matter what the cause is for you to feel this way, because in the end, that cause doesn't stop you from getting up in the morning and going to the gym. Or at three o'clock, going to the gym.
SPEAKER_03:My real concern is I'm sharing a hotel with you tomorrow night, and I want a positive atmosphere. Alright?
SPEAKER_01:We're gonna eat so much candy.
SPEAKER_03:No, we're not. We're gonna have a small amount.
SPEAKER_01:Go for a hot tub and a run.
SPEAKER_03:Well, yeah, we have a jacuzzi. We have a jacuzzi in the room because the guy who booked it, I think, thinks we're a couple.
SPEAKER_04:So we might be after tomorrow.
SPEAKER_03:Depends on the night.
SPEAKER_01:It's a jacuzzi suite. I'm I'm excited about it. I expect an Instagram post of you two and the jacuzzi together.
SPEAKER_03:Well, here's the thing. Like how like I don't expect this is the nicest hotel, and if it's a jacuzzi suite at a not nice hotel, are you getting in?
SPEAKER_04:Would our toes be on opposite sides or would they kind of overlap?
SPEAKER_01:No, you gotta be facing each other with like like the legs crossed. It's called scissoring.
SPEAKER_03:No, well it's not because we have you know penises.
SPEAKER_01:Um you saying peop two dudes can't scissor?
SPEAKER_03:Well, it's tech that's not scissoring.
SPEAKER_01:100%. It's putting legs over legs. It doesn't matter what parts you have, legs into legs.
SPEAKER_03:I guess not. I'm just excited that uh that somebody thinks we are good together or a couple together. Because we talked about it before. I mean, we would be an okay couple together.
SPEAKER_04:But to be fair, think about if your life just took a right turn and all of a sudden, like maybe like we formed like a thruple.
SPEAKER_03:Okay, with with who? Oh, with him? No.
SPEAKER_04:That's what would be about a first.
SPEAKER_01:You're too fat for him. He's not gonna go for you. I feel like it's always people always say a left turn. Sure, we take a left turn. You said right turn, that's weird. Isn't it always like it would like life took a left turn? It is, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:I don't like this thruple thing.
SPEAKER_01:Why isn't it left turn not right turn?
SPEAKER_04:But that sounded weird when you said it. Canada's taking a left turn tonight. Oh, take it down. It's okay, anyways. I think if you married a dude, just think how clean your house would be.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, why do you why do you think it'd be clean?
SPEAKER_04:Imagine all the arguments. Have you lived with a woman?
SPEAKER_01:Yes, but like I would say they have things, but I would say in general they're cleaner. Like I'd say they have more things.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, you're you're right.
SPEAKER_01:Jason help me. No.
SPEAKER_03:No, he's right. My wife is way cleaner than I am. What the dude?
SPEAKER_01:Have you never lived with roommates with the guys who are absolutely disgusting? No adult.
SPEAKER_03:Have you lived with like 25 plus male roommates? You know what I mean? Like, no, because like kids are like 18, 19, no one's no one's clean.
SPEAKER_04:No, like I've lived with college-age roommates who are legitimate Neanderthals.
SPEAKER_01:I legitimately was living in a house with guys where I would wear flip-flops into the shower because no one would clean it. And I refused to on principle because it was just this it was absolutely disgusting.
SPEAKER_03:How old are you there? Like 19, 12. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:No, maybe twelve, maybe 20. But still, I was like, I just on principle, I refuse to clean it myself because it was not me. Covered the whole flip-flops. Guys are disgusting.
SPEAKER_03:They are, but if I but have I shacked it with like a 40 plus or like a 40-year-old.
SPEAKER_01:Why are you talking about shacking up with a dude?
SPEAKER_03:No, but just because the house would be clean. Our argument is so much money. And our arguments would be formed in logic and reasoning. Oh my gosh. And it would be like a concise conversation instead of just an argument. This is amazing.
SPEAKER_04:Good luck. Why is this making you so angry? Because it's stupid.
SPEAKER_03:Got some feeling?
SPEAKER_04:Unlike all the other content on this podcast. It's dumb. You don't talk about with your bros like what it'd be like to be married to your bros.
SPEAKER_03:You don't? No. Oh, we've done this many times. It's one of my favorite topics.
SPEAKER_01:Hey, maybe, maybe there's something about you that we don't know.
SPEAKER_03:I'm getting close.
SPEAKER_04:There's dudes at work at the nursing home that I have talked with us about being like, hey bro, like just picture what our lives would be like together. And he was like, You know how I know you're gay? Because I'm on that.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, that's a good spot to wrap it up. Our house would be clean though.
SPEAKER_01:It'd be so clean. Congratulations to Mark Carney, our new primary. Fuck.
SPEAKER_03:Whatever. He'll do it's fine. Everything's fine.
SPEAKER_01:Everything's fine.
SPEAKER_04:I just don't want to live in this story.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, but we're still doing pretty good. Like, even like we still won the lottery as far as like where we live. We didn't get a choice. We live in Canada, we won the lottery a bit. You know, there's a lot of crappy places. For now. Yeah, well, yeah, for now.
SPEAKER_01:To our taxes increase.
SPEAKER_04:Alright. This has been fun. Thank you. I've tried to stay positive. Out of my house. Get out of my house.
